LandStalker (Genesis) review
"Some games have it all. GTA has enough chaos and mayhem to make a life of crime fun. Shadow Hearts: Covenant has everything I look for in an RPG. And Landstalker…ooooh, Landstalker has everything that could possibly irritate me. But oddly enough, I can't put it down most days. Maybe it's my strong pride that won't let me give up or maybe it's the incredible fun factor wrapped in a "foot-stomping, edge clinging I've gotta make this jump I don't want to climb up here again" annoying package.

Prices Cut Into Household Incomes
Rising prices took a toll on Americans' incomes as the year began, halting a four-month streak of gains and renewing concerns about the consumer's resilience amid higher gas prices.
That's according to a report Tuesday that found real median annual household income in the U.S. declined by 1.3% in January from December, to $50,020 from $50,673.
The tick downward follows monthly increases in income from September through the end of 2011, according to the analysis of Census Bureau data conducted by Sentier Research, an Annapolis, Md., firm run by two former Census officials.
Sentier's Gordon Green, who wrote the report with John Coder, said there are three factors behind the downshift to consider:
First, median U.S. household income, both nominal and real, declined in January from December.
Second, the drop in inflation-adjusted income fell as the Consumer Price Index climbed; the late-2011 runup in income was accompanied by a decline in the CPI, hitting the consumer with what Mr. Green described as a "double whammy," of falling nominal income and rising prices.
Third, while the unemployment rate has eased — to 8.3% in January from 9.0% in September — the duration of long-term unemployment hasn't, nor has the unemployment measure that includes those who are working part-time but seeking full-time work. That means, Mr. Green said, that although ostensibly the employment situation appears to be improving rapidly, beneath the headline unemployment number, the reality is "no great shakes."
The weak labor picture in turn affects incomes, because some people aren't able to find work and those who are working don't have the leverage to demand higher pay.
The Sentier Research report doesn't take into account February's runup in gasoline prices, Mr. Green said, which could constitute another headwind for consumers trying to get on a more solid financial footing.
"Inflation is the real risk," to economic stability, he said. "People have to go to work and if gas costs more, perhaps they're spending less money on other items they might buy…Some people say, 'If gas prices go up, what do I have to give up?'"
The longer-term perspective beyond the month-to-month decline isn't much brighter. According to the Sentier report, the January 2012 real median annual household income is still 7.8% below its level at the start of the recession in late 2007 and 5.4% below the level in June 2009, when the recovery started.
With the most recent monthly decrease, U.S. household income now isn't "headed in the right direction," Mr. Green said. "We still have a lot of ground to make up."

text: Hi. I suppose it's a bit odd to post in 'introductions' after having posted already some days ago - (but then JRR never made an inaugural lecture himself; as he ruefully noted in his Valedictory address delivered in 1959, he was then about 34 years too late). My name's geordie. (I don't know where the capital 'g' came from in my name here on PT). I'm sorry I've been a bit tardy since my initial posts, but I've been having a look round some parts of the site. I've been reading books by and about Tolkien for over thirty years now; never stopped, really. My main interests are bibliography (I'm a collector, and I love talking about the books and their variant editions. it's fun. Yes, it is!) - And art by Tolkien himself, and by others. And Tolkien's biography. Fascinating. I look forward to joining in discussions on these, and other topics. I love to 'talk Tolkien'.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Everything about their web site looks legitimate and all items come with a COA from their company. I didn't know at the time that a COA is meaningless unless the COA comes from a credible 3rd party. I purchased a "Dark Knight" poster that was allegedly signed by the main cast including the late, Heath Ledger. The poster was missing a signature of one of the main actors, Aaron Eckhart so I was searching some "autograph seeking" web sites to inquire on getting that signature myself.
Many of the members on these web sites were interested in my purchase in main part to Heath Ledger's autograph. When I shared the name of the company that I made my purchase with, I received responses from multiple members that were questioning the legitimacy of my item. They sent me different web sites that claimed that NE Autograph sold fraudulent signatures and that they were even being investigated by the FBI (the FBI referred me to you). Needless to say this made me very uncomfortable.
I'm well aware of the number of fraudulent autographs out there but I had no idea that a company that appeared to be this legitimate would fall into that category. It was then suggested to get my poster authenticated through PSA/DNA, the most credible authentication company in the business. I didn't want to do that through the mail so I waited until they were appearing at an autograph show in San Jose, CA so I could have it done in person. PSA/DNA found the signatures on my poster to be fraudulent!
I paid $100 on top of what I had already paid NE Autograph for the poster to have the authentication done. I've tried contacting NE Autograph by email (they have no given phone number) and I let them know what happened and that I, of course, demand a full refund. They have yet to respond. Neautograph.com is still a running web site and they not only still offer the same poster that I bought from them, but they have updated their web site with new items since my purchase. How can this be?
I would love to get back money back, God knows I need it, but I would much rather see these criminals put out of business and hopefully behind bars where they belong. Please let me know if I can assist in any way. I have NE Autograph's COA, PSA/DNA's letter stating that the signatures are fraudulent, and of course the poster itself that I'd be happy to donate to your or anyone's investigation against NE Autograph. Your help in this matter will be greatly appreciated by not only me and the other victims of this company, but the future victims of this company. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.

NE Autograph: My story
AUTHOR: Averyb2 - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, August 09, 2009POSTED: Sunday, August 09, 2009
I saw a Barack & Michelle Obama signed book on the NE Autograph website. I used a Quick Opinion service for $10 to verify the signatures. They looked good to me and the service agreed they were. I was still suspicious because of the low price, which was $250. I've seen the 2 sigs on one book on Ebay for $1000-$2000. So I emailed them to make sure that I would receive the EXACT same signed book listed on the site and I could return them for any reason, if not satisfied. They, of course, said I would get the exact item listed and returns were a breeze.
So I ordered the book with Paypal and it arrived quickly. I opened it and "Yuch", it looked like my grandchild signed it. First, I've been as collector for many years and study signatures. This was definitely signed by a right-handed person (Obama is a lefty) and the Michelle wasn't close to known examples. In short, it was nothing like remotely like the listed picture. So I emailed them and waited for a response. I sent a copy of the listing and my book to show them the difference. After several emails and no response, I began to get a bad feeling. I filed a complaint with PayPal and they didn't get any answer from them either. But they closed out my claim explaining that I did get the item and it was as ordered, despite my objections.
Then I called my credit card company to reverse payment. They told me that I first had to return the book before they would do something. But, I discovered from the post office that the return address off the package they sent me was fake...there was no such PO Box. Of course the only phone number listed with PayPal was also fake. Oops.
What to do? I hate being ripped-off and my only option was email. I sent about 6 emails and finally got a response. They asked why I wanted a refund, as if I had never explained anything in the previous emails. I resent the original explanation and waited. Another week went by without hearing from them. Now I was mad.. I had simply asked them for a return address so I could send back this book. Then I got an idea. First, I had the owner's email address off PayPal.
So I began send dozens of emails to his and the main address. Each with a different subject title, and at different times.. This increased to fifty or more every day. I figured they would have to open each one because some said things like, "New Order," or "I have a Question about an Item." After just two days of doing that, they offered me a full refund to stop the emails and they sent back my PayPal payment. I still offered to return the book if they would give me the return address I needed, which they refused to do. So, if this was such a valuable book, why wouldn't they want it back?
Since then, I just saw the same book on Ebay (similar sigs to the ones I received) for $3500. Also the same newspaper off their site on Ebay. I emailed the seller. He said he just got it from Nathans too. Both were obvious fakes but came with NE Autograph "lifetime guarantee" which of course is worthless. Anyway, I wrote a guide warning people about the fakes on NE Autograph and noticed that both items are still shown on their website. That's my story, for all it's worth. Moral: Persistance pays off. Don't let the cheaters win.

Martha Johnson, the president's pick to head GSA, has yet to get a vote from the Senate nearly 10 months after she was nominated for the administrator post. She's stuck in Senate purgatory, a roadside casualty of some gamesmanship over a Missouri Post Office Building.
The acting administrator, career man Paul Prouty, got tired of the commute from Denver and turned in his keys to the corner office in December. Last month brought two more major departures from the executive suite — deputy administrator Barney Brasseux retired, and Danielle Germain, GSA's chief of staff for seven months, announced she was leaving out of frustration over Johnson's stalled nomination.
Despite the turmoil at the top, work continues unabated at the agency, according to insiders and outside observers. GSA has the business processes in place and employees who know the well-worn routine. "And they're going to come to work every day," said Bill Gormley, former assistant GSA commissioner and now head of the Washington Management Group.
But the long-term implications can have severe consequences, many of which might not be recognized for years. For instance, the lack of a permanent administrator, which extends well back into the Bush administration, tends to stymie long-term strategic planning. While other agencies feed on the energy and fresh mandates from a new administration, GSA officials lose the opportunity to be more forward-looking about the next wave of programs or contracts.
"Each administration has a four-year time horizon," said John Okay, former deputy commissioner of GSA's Federal Technology Service and now partner at Topside Consulting Group. "Now, GSA has three years."
Since 2008, GSA has been living on acting administrators. Stephen Leeds has taken over from Prouty, who succeeded Jim Williams, the current Federal Acquisition Service commissioner — the Bush administration had nominated Williams to be administrator, but he, too, was blocked in the Senate. Before Williams was David Bibb, another career employee.
So Leeds, the newest in this string of solid but lusterless pearls, will lead the process of building the agency's strategic plans. Everyone expects he will do an earnest job of it, but the plans likely won't have the same oomph as when an administration official maps out the strategy. "It's different," Gormley said. "He's not the administrator."
Officials with "acting" in their titles have different priorities and often they are chosen for a specific reason. Prouty openly said he knew little about the acquisition side of GSA. His career was in the agency's Public Building Service, and he arrived at GSA's Washington headquarters when billions in economic stimulus dollars were heading GSA's way for building improvements and construction.
But all organizations need continual reinvestment, and GSA is no exception, said Hope Lane, officer of government contracts consulting at Aronson and Co. The agency must be replenished with new ideas and initiatives so it can adjust to the changes in the environment. In this current state, GSA is treading water.
Collectively, there's been new investment as major contracts were awarded and other initiatives have begun, Lane said. "Comprehensively, there's been no investment."
What's more, GSA is in a highly competitive contracting market. It's up against other governmentwide information technology contracts at NASA and the National Institutes of Health. Agencies have different places that offer assisted acquisition services, including the Interior Department's Acquisition Services Directorate, formerly GovWorks. Some agencies now also do it themselves, setting up multiple-award contracts or even their own enterprisewide contracts, such as the Homeland Security Department's Enterprise Acquisition Gateway for Leading Edge Solutions contract.
People are still hoping for Johnson's confirmation. Her nomination generated a lot of electricity in GSA's circles last spring. Now that enthusiasm might be waning.
"Has the delay pulled GSA into a deeper depression?" asked Robert Guerra, a consultant at Guerra Kiviat. "No, it couldn't get much worse than it was after the last eight years of no leadership or motivation."

The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
Upon reading "GSA Blues: Nowhere to go but up," I can say without reservation that GSA would benefit significantly if it had a strong and capable leader at the helm but, despite the absence of such a leader, GSA is a strong organization with an extremely talented and capable Senior Executive and General Schedule employee staff. One could argue that despite controversy at the most senior levels of GSA in previous years, this same group of gifted and talented employees helped to keep the ship afloat and on a relatively straight course while it faced a myriad of daunting challenges. I don't want to downplay the significance of solid political leadership at the top – it is important but, the catalyst to GSA's success are the men and women who work tirelessly each and every day to accomplish real and meaningful stuff. They could do even better, however, if they had a permanent, solid leader at the top whose principle focus would be to help garner the support of other elements of government in execution of the organization's important mission.
First, GSA is the "premier procurement agency...wandering in the desert," and now it's suffering in depression because it doesn't have a Senate-confirmed Administrator. What a laugh. That's not real life in the bureaucracy -- it's a soap opera. Actually GSA is doing quite well, meeting its expenditure expectations under ARRA. That doesn't get much reader interest on FCW, of course.
I can tell you that not all government agency employees view the constant reverse-rudder redirection of priorities with each new political appointee as an invigorating or refreshing thing. It's more often the SES ranks that provide stability and vision.

This year's pageant, however, is guaranteed to be different. Pageant director Mrs. Armstrong (Karen Schwaller) has broken her leg, and Grace Bradley (Bethany Matthias) is recruited to run the show. Her daughter, Beth (Molley Schlichtemeier), is sick of playing an angel, and her son, Charlie (Rhyan Busch) doesn't even want to participate.
As if that wasn't enough, Charlie accidentally tells Leroy Herdman (Austin Crew) about all of the free treats they get in Sunday school. The Herdmans are the type of kids who steal lunch treats from other kids at school, "probably the most inventively awful kids in history."
Charlie, whose favorite part of church is "no Herdmans," is horrified when all five of them show up to participate in the Christmas pageant.
They immediately cast themselves in the lead roles. Imogene (Katie Simpson) will play Mary, which upsets Alice Wendleken (Hannah Mayes) very much. Alice is always Mary, and she assumed she would be Mary once again. Imogene refers to Mary as "pregnant" instead of "great with child," which Alice finds unacceptable.
Despite their major roles, however, the Herdmans have never heard the Christmas story before. They've never stepped foot inside of a church. Questions surrounding the biblical tale soon spiral out of control, including "What is a manger?" and "Where was Child Welfare?"
Should the Herdmans have had control over the Christmas pageant, Gladys (Alicia Larson) would rename it "Revenge at Bethlehem." Herod would be onstage as the villain (played by Charlie, according to Imogene), though quickly "taken out" by the shepherds before he could harm the baby. And, even if an angel had appeared to Mary with a name for her child, Imogene would have named him Bill.
The church ladies telephone each other in a frenzy over what a disaster this year's pageant will be. No mother wants to hand over her infant to a Herdman, so a doll will have to do. Of course all of the mess is Grace's fault. Mrs. Armstrong would have never let the Herdmans get involved.
But Grace and her family are determined to prove them wrong. Whatever it takes, this year's pageant will be the best one ever.
Spencer Community Theatre's production of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" is fun for the entire family. The kids on stage are adorable to watch, and it's refreshing to see the Christmas story through the perspective of a family who's never heard it before.
SCT will perform "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" Dec. 7-9 and 15-17 at 7:30 p.m. After the 70-minute show, Christmas activities will take place in the theatre lobby.

"Bhaktapur is "the city of Devotees"." Top 5 Page for this destination Bhaktapur by goutammitra
Bhaktapur Travel Guide: 84 reviews and 435 photos
Bhaktapur is lying at 12 KM east of capital city Kathmandu. Bhaktapur is "the city of Devotees". It is locally known as "Khwopa and Bhadgaon" which is world renowned for its elegant art, fabulous culture , colourful festivals, traditional dances and indigenouslifestyle of different people of different religion. For its majestic monuments, temples and the native typical newar lifestyle best known for their long history of craftsmanship, the ancient city is also variously known as the " City of Culture ", "Living Heritage " , "Nepal's Cultural Gem " and "An open museum". Given such unequaled opulence in ancient art and culture, Bhaktapur is more like an open museum, and the ambiance here is such that it instantly transports visitors back by centuries. This conch shaped hostoric city is spreading over an area of 6.88 square KM at 1,401 meters above sea level, which was founded in the 12th century by King Anand Dev Malla.Bhaktapur was the capital city of the Greater Malla Kingdom till the 15th century AD. The many of Bhaktapur's greatest monuments were built by thethen Malla rulers.
The ancient ritual dances and festivals are still observed by the locals with the same fervour and ehthusiasm as their ancestors did centuries ago. King Yaksha Malla (15th ventury) heavily fortified this city. Bhaktapur has its gem in Durbar Square and Changu Narayan temple-- a World Heritage site listed by the UNESCO. Strewn with unique palaces, temples and monasteries best admired for their exquisite artworks in wood, metal and stone, the palatial enclave has bewitched pilgrims and travelers for centuries.Yet, they are not all though. Stretching all along the township, the panoramic Himalaya levitates in the skyline as if to keep vigilance on the city'senviable beauty and splendor.It grows from a collection of villages strung along the old trade route between India and Tibet.

Molina: DeMarco Won't Be Able To Box For Twelve Rounds
By Ryan Burton
Lightweight contender John Molina Jr. is ounting down the hours until his fight against WBC champion Antonio DeMarco. On a recent edition of The Boxing Lab, BoxingScene's official audio show, Molina told us that this was one of the best camps of his career.
"Camp has gone really, really well. Sparring was great. Luis Ramos was up there and we had a few other guys up there. Nothing but southpaws. I can't wait to get in there and do what I do best."
Molina and DeMarco are both known as offensive fighters who have holes in their defense. The Southern California based Molina thinks that DeMarco will try to outbox him in the early on in the fight but feels that he will eventually catch his opponent. He points to his knockout win over Hank Lundy as an example of this.
"He's similar to me style wise. I'm sure he will try to box me at first but the fight is 12 rounds and like Lundy found out you can't box for the whole 12 rounds. Eventually you have to fight," Molina told The Boxing Lab.
DeMarco-Molina will be televised by HBO this Saturday as the co-feature to the Andre Ward-Chad Dawson main event.

I forgot to mention another Territorial thing, the Sulaiman thing. He ranked Lundy above Molina even after Molina knocked Lundy out. To Sulaiman, Molina is a Pocho, not Mexican enough to respect. Molina can fix Sulaiman, for me and a…Comment by ElBossHogg™ on 09-08-2012
He not gonna box buddy and he can last all 12. So get that in your mind now and get mentally prepared.Comment by Corelone on 09-08-2012
Molina better make sure he can go twelve himself and not count on DeMarco slowing down. It's nice to wish the other guy is going to stand still, sooner or later, and let you tee off, but don't count on…Comment by Frank Ducketts on 09-08-2012
Does Molina know something we don't. He better not underestimate DeMarco. DeMarco might look skinny, but he has some pop, and a chin.Comment by TX_BOXNG on 09-08-2012
this match is gona be tough, i think i can guaranteed some blood between this two guys, neither will quit n both are there to hit, except demarco is smarter n sharper unlike molina has a punching bag facePost a Comment - View More User Comments (6)

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The Loudoun County sheriff's department is hoping to crack two robberies that targeted churches in Leesburg and Arcola.
"It's horrible. It's definitely an invasion of our space, and...who steals from a church?" asked Barbara Ladany, the pre-school director at Arcola Methodist Church.
Monday afternoon someone stole an estimated $4,000 in electronics, a laptop off a desk in Ladany's office and a couple of digital cameras from her drawer.
"You just wonder, are you safe when you're here?" Ladany said.
The thieves also took two flat screen TVs and DVD players from a meeting room.
"We don't know how they got in, and all the doors were locked, and nothing was broken so...it's very strange," said Becci Tunell, a church spokeswoman.
The church used the cameras and laptop to teach children.
"To think that someone would come in and take the stuff that we use in the preschool is very sad," Tunell said.
Roughly 45 minutes later, less than 15 miles away, someone stole a recently purchased shed in a box from the worship center Assembly of God in Leesburg.
"That leads us to believe it was probably one person and that's all they could carry at the time," Loudoun County Sheriff Stephen Simpson said.
Police believe the same person may have committed the crimes but they have no suspect or vehicle description.
Members of Arcola church hope insurance will cover the claim.
Still, "I would like to see the people who did it caught," said Tunell.

Subterranean replied to Subterranean's topic in Ford Fusion ClubThanks for the help. I already had a fascia and cable adapter kit, but didn't realize the piece of plastic was for the rear of the stereo, makes sense now. I bought a cage this afternoon and think I have everything fitted and working. One question though, is the cage supposed to be fixed to the hole in the dash/the new fascia in some way? as I have it, it can't be pushed into the dashboard (because of the rear bracket and the cage overlapping the new fascia at the front), but it can be fairly easily pulled out towards you. Is this normal?
Subterranean started following Fitting An Aftermarket Stereo To My Fusion 2 05 Plate
Subterranean posted a topic in Ford Fusion ClubHi all, I'm a relatively new owner of a fusion 2 05 plate, and was looking to replace the stock stereo for an aftermarket one. I've never done this before but I reckon thanks to the guides I've found on this forum, I'm now 80% of the way there. I have the fascia, cable adapters and can cut off the horizontal bars from dashboard fascia (as in this post here). All I'm left with, and I think its more of a general car stereo fitting question rather than specific to a ford, is how to actually secure the stereo in place. After looking around, I think my stereo is missing a 'cage' and so doesn't sit properly within the new fascia. From this photo in the post I linked to above, I dont have the plastic surround for the front of the head unit that sticks out from the dash a little way. It looks like that would stop it from being pushed pack, but let you pull it forward. Is there anything else that would secure it from behind? If it is just a cage+plastic surround I'm missing, would this one do the trick? I'm trying to do it as cheaply as possible. Thanks for any help!
Welcome to the Ford forums Subterranean :)

I received a voucher in the mail worth 1600.00 towards what sounds like a great vaction package and all I have to do is pay them 1200.00 for two people, and to sit through a time share presentation.
The agent Chris (doubt this is his real name) agent ID#So 0811, began to tell me about this great package. This guy is good, anyway, I gave him my Mastercard number, but after I got off the phone, I didn't feel qutie right about it, my stomach started churning etc, so I decided to jump on line and do a little investigating. Lo and behold, there it was on a Consumer Affair Website, all the people since 2004 this man has duped.
I did file a complaint with the Nebraska Attorney General, and made a phone call to their customer service ( which is a big joke!)
Here is my thing, I am taking this man down come h**l or high water. It sickens me to think that this man is still walking around taking everyone's hard earned money. He needs to be stopped immediately. Anyone, who would like to join me in this venture I would greatly appreciate hearing from. It is evident that most of the states are aware of this creep, but nothing seems to be getting done about it. I don't just want him stopped, I demand he be stopped and I believe it's going to take a hughe community to bring him down. I would love to put him behind bars where he belongs!
Thank you all who read this, as you can see I am really pissed, but I feel bad for the elderly people this man has ripped off and for those who have been taken by him.
Mr. Lambert, to you sir this is not business, this is personal, and a moral issue.

I rented my place and need to keep cable but disconnect the phone.
I find out that a tech must come and disconnect the phone as they have installed a sleeve so you cannot remove the cable from the wall cable outlet.
Upon my call to charter I get transfered to 5 or 6 different departments which should be a quick 5 minute task which ends up being a 30 minute call. $75 removal fee.
Once the appointment was scheduled from 8-12 noon Charter did not show up on appointment day. ( Ieven called that morning to ensure they were scheduled to my home). After the appointment time passed I called at 12:15 and Charter agent stated the appointment was all day. SO I stayed all day and still no one showed up. I called to reschedule another appointment and I am again transfered from Georgia to California agents and from Order management to techncal support to billing departments and finally to the correct dept only to find out the next available appointment is a month away
and is another all day appointment.
I think it costs me too much money to do business with such a poorly organized rude company. Hidden fees and no consideration to provide any level of customer service. Phone service is poor at best and disconnect fees are not disclosed...wonder if this is even legal.
I originally got the phone as I had a mail offer for 14.95 per month phone service ---when I got the bill it was $35.00 per month and there was no evidence of the 14.95 offer...go figure

Hi guys. I just ran into some wierd problem here. I'm running two installations of wp (3.3.1 and 3.0.1 [both only for internal use]) using the theme "Platform" (1.4.2 and 1.3.1).

I heard recently that there is no such thing as stress. You can't go outside with an empty jar, fill it with stress then bring it home or with you to wherever you go. Hmmm, sounds good. Then why are we so stressed-out? No answers from me today...

Let It Grow: Banks Offering Financial Services to Marijuana-Related Businesses
About 105 different financial institutions spread out over one-third of the country have reported relationships with legal marijuana-related businesses, the top U.S. anti-money laundering official said Tuesday, suggesting federal rules are allowing a newly-legalized crop of companies access to banking services.
Federal regulators in February issued new guidance allowing banks to provide financial services to marijuana-related businesses, a response to contradictory federal and state laws following some form of legalization in several states and the District of Columbia.
"From our perspective the guidance is having the intended effect," Jennifer Shasky Calvery, director of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, said in remarks to an anti-money laundering conference. "It is facilitating access to financial services, while ensuring that this activity is transparent and the funds are going into regulated financial institutions responsible for implementing appropriate AML safeguards."
Banks are required to file "suspicious activity reports" when engaged with a marijuana-related business. More than 1,000 such notices have been filed between Feb. 14 and Aug. 8, Ms. Shasky said, with most showing the marijuana-related businesses are complying with state laws and other federal guidelines.
Banks are subject to federal laws against doing business with drug traffickers, which has made them reluctant to make loans and take deposits from legal pot dispensaries.

The 2 Best Dividends Your Missing - Why You Need To Be LONG SIR & CWH 0 comments
I have spend a lot time underwriting 2 of my favorite REITS - SIR and CWH. While I think every portfolio needs to have a balance between dividend paying stocks/REITs, growth stocks, etc. Investors really need to consider going long now while the valuations are attractive. I would suggest doing your due diligence and going long before other investors wake up and soak up the yield.
First of I should state I work for a highly respectable Commercial Real Estate Capital Markets firm, so parts of my analysis reviews these 2 holdings as how a Real Estate Investor would underwrite their Portfolio
1) CWH - Currently this REIT trades at a 10.80% yield based on today's close pricing of $18.51, investors are offering a huge discount compared to the underlying portfolio value. Investors have hammered this REIT over the past year as management has stripped portfolios within the REIT such as GOV and SIR. This investor sentiment causes these extreme value add returns. The Portfolio is 84.8% occupancy which is up slightly from 84.60% at end of 2011. This signals there is a still strong growth potential in the portfolio's occupancy that would actually grow the FFO/future dividends. Now CWH primarily invests in Office properties -- meaning that you won't see extreme jumps in occupancy until unemployment lowers. However, this is where the dividend is important. Value add investors often will look to acquire these non-stablized office properties at a 6% to 9% cap rate (yield) and stablize to a 10% return + an unlevered basis 3 to 4 years out from time of acquistion. You as individual investor have an opportunity to buy in at a 10.80% yield day one with potential for dividend growth and share price growth. This is a safe long term bet on employment growh There is a lot to like her but a encourage you to read their SEC filings.
2) SIR - this REIT as actually been warmly received by investors since its IPO, given that it yields currently trading approximately a +7% yield -- if you back out the special dividend, its closer toa +6% yield. SIR has 3 strong attributes going for it making it a solid long term stable investment for your portfolio
- The Portfolio is stable at 95.6% occupancy, naturally, this should be higher given NNN (single tenant/low management building) are typically 100% occupied
- The Portfolio controls vast land holdings in Hawaii. While ground rent has dipped since the hey days of 2007, owning the ground is key to owning in Hawaii. Assuming SIR holds these ground leases until expiration they have the opportunity to either extend (not likely) and more likely take the building that is currently owned by another investor. While it may seem like a hostile takeover, that the building owner is forced to hand over the property over the owner of the ground/dirt, it is simply part of the business.
- Finally only 36.1% of the portfolio square footage or 43.7% of the total rent is exposed to rollover risk (lease expiration) until 2021, meaning the portfolio is extremely stable for the near and long term. Rollover risk is also not always bad given how below market rental rates can be, there is an opportunity to increase rental rates.
Disclosure: I am long SIR, CWH.Back To EarningsMarq's Instablog HomePage »

Yes, the CPAN autobundle functionality is still current and is a somewhat viable option. Autobundle also bundles core modules, which means that you need some cleanup when moving between Perl versions.

Shipping charges are outrageous too. Back in Sept. 05 I ordered some merchandise. I had just moved to my new home when I placed my order. I received a postcard in regard to some of my ordered merchandise being out of stock & would not be restocked. Obviously, they had my correct mailing & physical address if I received the postcard. In the latter part of November, I began to receive past due notices from ABC DEMANDING payment. I would have gladly paid them, if I had ACTUALLY received my merchandise.
On six occasions I called ABC to try to resolve this matter. I was put on hold for what seemed like forever each and every time. When I was able to get a human being on line, I was given a big run around and told that I would receive some paperwork to fill out in order to initiate an investigation. I never received a single piece of paper from ABC. On 2 occasions I asked to speak to a supervisor. Same response on both occasions-there are NO supervisors. I find that so hard to believe. After all my calls, getting nowhere, minutes racked up on my cell phone and threats from ABC, I began to research what happened to my merchandise. There were 3 shipments. 2 Shipments signed by one person & the third by a different person. First of all, there were NO homes close by my home when I moved in (Brand new subdivision), much less at the times of my deliveries (Oct. & NOV. 05) Second, I have no idea who the people are that signed for my packages. Third, Fed-Ex did not have a delivery location on two of my tracking forms and the third showed delivery in McAllen, Texas. I live in Edinburg, Tx. Fourth, after having to do my own investigating and experiencing such frustration over and over I faxed all of my findings to ABC (Jan. 06) along with a statement that I would not be paying for merchandise I had not received. The people who signed for my merchandise (actually stole it at my expense) are responsible for payment. I also went on to tell ABC that the person ordering merchandise or their spouse should be the only ones that can sign for deliveries. The Customer Service Rep told me that no signature is required. I have just received (FEB. 06)a letter from their attorney, Kaplan, stating that I was trying to SCAM them. I can understand that they want to be paid, but they have done NOTHING to help me resolve this matter - I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY MERCHANDISE, SOMEONE ELSE IS ENJOYING MY MERCHANDISE FOR FREE ON THEIR PART & AT MY EXPENSE-FRUSTRATION-HEADACHES-ANGER, YET I AM BEING THREATENED BY ABC. Any reputable company would at least try to help the customer. I am now debating whether or not to file charges on the two individuals who signed for my packages, contact the BBB about ABC, and retain an attorney for all the ____ I have had to go through.

Are Pollinators Responsible for the Evolution of Flower Color?
Evolution results from many types of interactions among organisms, including predator-prey relationships, competition, and mate selection. An important type of coevolution among plants and animals involves flowering plants and their pollinators. Pollinators need flowers for food, and plants need pollinators for reproduction. It is logical then, to hypothesize that evolutionary changes in flower shape, size, odor, and color are driven, to a large extent, by pollinators such as bees. We know that insects respond to variation in flower traits by visiting flowers with certain features, but few studies have been carried out to predict and then evaluate the response of plant populations to selection by pollinators. In wild radish populations, honeybees preferentially visit yellow and white flowers, while syrphid flies prefer pink flowers. Rebecca Irwin and Sharon Strauss at the University of California, Davis studied the response of wild radish flower color to selection by pollinators in natural populations. They compared the frequency of four flower colors (yellow, pink, white, and bronze) in two populations of wild radishes. Bees created the first population by visiting flowers based on their color preferences. The scientists produced the second population by hand pollinating wild radish flowers with no discrimination due to flower color. However, the pollen used for artificial pollinations contained varying proportions of each type of plant, based on the frequencies of each in the wild. In the graph shown here, you can see the distribution of flower colors in these two populations. The blue bars indicate the number of plants with yellow, white, pink, and bronze flowers in the population generated by the bee pollination. The red bars show the number of each type of flower in the population generated by researcher pollination, with no selection for flower color.
An uncommon visitor: here a syrphid fly is visiting a yellow wild radish flower, usually preferred by bees.
Applying Concepts
a. Variable. In the graph, what is the dependent variable?
b. Reading a bar graph. Does this graph reflectdata on flower colors from syrphid fly pollinations?
