In conclusion, we return to the basic purposes that led to the writing of this book. The CBD objectives are essential international priorities, linked to the long-term well-being of the planet and the more urgent needs to alleviate poverty and promote sustainable improvement in the areas of health, food security and international equity. Biotechnology and modern development are critical elements of achieving those priorities. When fed with access and the rights to utilize micro-physical material and genetic information, these commercial motivations can create a broad range of benefits that can be used to further fulfill both environmental and developmental objectives. Mechanisms such as technology transfer, repatriation of information and capacity development can also be fuelled by a burgeoning market in biotechnology, if that market is also inexorably linked back to the goals of conservation and sustainable use. The CBD is somewhat unclear about the mechanisms by which this linkage and support will function, but it clearly envisions that ABS shall provide both benefit and incentive elements.
In the past 15 years, however, the specifics of how ABS will function, and how it will serve those primary objectives have been subjects of long debate. This book has provided a basic analytical pathway to help enable countries both to recognize the reasons why it is in their best interests (individually and collectively) to implement Article 15.7, and also to provide a legal basis on which they can take initial actions toward the goals of
(i) satisfying the requirements of due process of law (eliminating ambiguity and inconsistency that would make a law unenforceable) within their own country; and
(ii) enabling rational interaction of user-country laws with source-country ABS laws in each transaction.
The lack of national examples and experience in the area of user-side measures has prevented us from making a full set of final conclusions on these points. However, based on the application of primary legal and legislative standards, as well as the existing body of commentary, data, analysis and opinion on ABS, some of our conclusions are very clear.
First, we note that all countries are required to adopt user-side measures under CBD Article 15.7. Unlike the CBD's requirements on the provider-side (access), Article 15.7 does not specify particular actions that must be taken, but specifies the results that must be achieved – "sharing in a fair and equitable way the results of research... and the benefits arising from the...utilization of genetic resources." Although the Bonn Guidelines provide a list of user-side measures that might be useful in satisfying Article 15.7, these are not the only options. If they are not successful in achieving the required results, then other measures will be needed.
Second, we conclude that no country has successfully adopted the primary user-side measures that are necessary – that is, a basic provision requiring users under their jurisdiction to fairly and equitably share benefits arising from their utilization of genetic resources with origin in another country. Virtually none of the user-side legislative requirements set out in the Bonn Guidelines have been adopted in any country.
Third, we note a primary need which can be thought to underlie the complete failure of countries to adopt user-side ABS legislation – the lack of a unified, internally consistent framework to clarify the key definitions and triggers of ABS obligations. While recognizing the difficulty of developing such a framework, we suggest that it is possible to extract the first elements of a functional framework out of the language of the CBD, and have offered a set of elements around which functional national implementation could be constructed:
"genetic resources" – a meta-concept which incorporates certain characteristics of each species, whether obtained and utilized directly (by obtaining samples and specimens) or indirectly (by utilizing information, such as gene sequences, biochemical formulas and other unique properties of the species). They represent a right which is not obtained with the specimens but must be agreed to by the source country. Genetic resources are not externally or objectively determinable by looking at the resource, because the potential to use genetic resources is present, to some extent, in nearly every biological specimen.
"utilization of genetic resources" – an objective concept that can be verified by inspection, reports, results and other externally determinable factors. One who engages in the utilization of genetic resources triggers the application of ABS user-side measures with regard to those activities.
"benefits arising" from the utilization of genetic resources – another objectively verifiable concept that constitutes the "second trigger" of user measures. When benefits arise from utilization, the user becomes fully obliged to share a fair and equitable percentage of those benefits.
While none of these three is simple to adopt or to apply, they can be interlinked together to form an internally consistent framework for user-side measures that will arguably address the full range of situations to which Article 15 is intended to apply. They will also provide a basis for implementation of other genetic-resource-related commitments of the CBD, including the genetic-resource components of technology transfer, capacity building, biotechnology opportunities and biosafety implementation.
Fifth, the issues of valuation and equity in ABS are still rather dark and murky waters, legislatively. While significant inquiry into these issues has been conducted and is ongoing, their role in legislative implementation has largely not been discussed. Their most significant application is in the area of user-side measures – oversight of compliance with ABS contracts and with the broader obligation to share benefits.
Sixth, one of the most important gaps that prevents further progress toward ABS functionality is the loophole by which users who do not know or disclose the source country of the resources they are using are not required to engage in any benefit sharing or substitute activity. Even more than the practical unenforceability of ABS contracts, the failure to adopt user measures to close this gap has rendered ABS a very ineffective system, and closed many options for increasing its effectiveness.
The near total lack of existing national user measures (that is, a country's legal, administrative and other measures to address the responsibilities, rights and needs of the users of foreign genetic resources who are under the country's jurisdiction) has prevented the preparation of a "best practice" analysis, but given rise instead to a discussion of the primary elements that would be necessary to meet the requirements of Article 15.7 and the Bonn Guidelines. At a minimum, those requirements seem to call for either
(i) provisions that impose a benefit-sharing obligation on all users of foreign-origin genetic resources, including those who have not obtained an ABS contract, or who have obtained the genetic resources from some third person, outside of the country of origin; or
(ii) incentive/motivation measures that are sufficient to engender a high level of benefit sharing by users seeking to obtain the incentive or advantage.
If the latter measures are sufficiently strong, they may eliminate the need for mandatory measures entirely. Even in that case, however, the user-side legislative process will not be cost-free, as there will still be a need to oversee the incentive measures to ensure that they are only available to users who comply with ABS requirements.
Mechanisms for the user-side implementation of ABS have been proposed and may be useful in future, but will not create an effective regime, unless and until countries adopt a basic framework of user-side measures. In the meantime, it is inappropriate for developing countries to repose confidence in disclosure requirements or in certificate systems that are not linked to implementation or enforceable benefit-sharing commitments. WIPO and the CBD discussions seem to give too much attention to these tools, given the stage of the current negotiations. Pending agreement on the objectives of the negotiations or on the manner in which the ABS framework should be conceptualized, disclosures and certificates will constitute, at most, permissive and unverified voluntary statements.
There is hope that the current ongoing CBD's negotiations of an "international ABS regime" may result in concrete and usable outputs. One strongly desired result could be the Parties' adoption of agreed interpretations of key terms. The negotiations might also develop structures for collaboration between each user country and source country in a variety of areas, including
oversight of users;
data collection and control;
application of trade-secret protection pursuant to which users could confidently provide critical information that enables the ABS system to function as a transparent market, in which all parties have reasonable expectations;
development of bilateral agreements and relationships to aid users seeking access to genetic resources;
and other matters. These results might in turn produce enough regime-wide specificity to enable the creation of formal mechanisms, such as certificates designed to address particular information needs of the regime.
Another possibility, however, is that the negotiations might simply adopt a process for longer-term regime development, and authorize the creation of certificates and other tools when the need for them arises. It is also possible, however, that the negotiations will result in even less concrete outputs, thereby returning the responsibility to the states to develop national legislation and engage in the slow process of adjustment by which all countries' various approaches will eventually become inter-operable.
There is one final question that must be addressed: Why would any country would adopt user measures? Essentially, as viewed independently in each country, user measures appear to require the country's industrial and research communities to pay money to other countries. This may be politically difficult to "sell" to legislators within any country, and may constitute a major disincentive preventing legislators from adopting real user measures. Accordingly, it is essential to enunciate the rationale for CBD benefit- sharing legislation, from the perspective of the user country and commercial and market interests.
Ultimately, there are multiple rationales which are all equally valid. Countries which may not be able to exploit these resources themselves bear all significant costs and missed opportunities in protecting their biodiversity. These sacrifices would be compensated by those who exploit those resources in new ways and who would not otherwise recompense any of the environmental and conservation costs. The most practical expression of the reason for taking this step, however, was enunciated by the European Commission:
The issue of ABS is potentially a win-win situation for trade and environment since benefits arising from the commercial use of genetic resources can be used to foster the protection of biodiversity and since the expectation of such benefits is an incentive to conservation.413
In the same way, the adoption of user-side measures by all CBD Parties and non-parties would be a win-win situation for users of genetic resources. User-side measures can provide a balance in ABS which is currently heavily weighted (and sometimes myopic) in addressing only the interests of the source countries and providers. User measures can increase the confidence of source countries, enabling them to streamline and regularize their ABS processes, decreasing the regulatory burdens that currently oppress researchers and the small percentage of genetic resource users who obtain those resources by bioprospecting in source countries.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - Halloween can be a scary time, and not just because of the costumes. The dark night can bring about unwanted dangers for your little ones.
Here are a few tips to keep your kids safe while trick-or-treating:
1. Use flashlights or glow in the dark accessories.
2. Keep your kids close
3. Hem costumes to fit your kids
Some materials used for costumes are flammable and dragging costumes can easily catch fire.
If you would like to know if your kid's costume is flammable there should be a warning sign somewhere on the package.
Ken Dixon, one of the owners of Mad Margaret's, has taken safety even a step further by postings signs asking people not to try on masks to help prevent the spread of Swine Flu.
"If customers do put on the masks we would like them to spray it with Lysol after the mask comes off so at least we can kill some of the bugs," says Dixon.

Brilliant book, I couldn't put it down. I loved the way she wrote each thought, each sentence and it was so well thought out. You can really see her understanding of what she was writing about. This must be from her experiences in her line of work. The only thing I could wish for if I had to add something would be more at the end, after such a horrible experience. To see a little more happiness to end it off. The love and the girls chats of the past.

Well this April after getting the OK from my landlord to get a small dog I tried to go through numerous fostering places on petfinder.com. Because I work during the day no one would allow me to adopt so I was left with purchasing. So my fiance and I went to a few pet stores to 'look' and then I fell in love with a full grown min pin.
We took her in the room and played with her. She seemed healthy & like she had a good disposition & I instantly fell in love. We didn't have cash that night to pay for her in full so we gave them a $100 deposit to hold her and I came to pick her up the next day.
I paid in full (cash) and signed all their paperwork including their BS clean bill of health. They assured me that the puppy (5 months & fully grown) had been looked at by a vet just days before & was healthy. I was given 2 bottles of pills, not because she had worms but to prevent them "in case". More BS.
I was told if I brought her to the Coram Animal clinic Puppy Depot would pay for the free visit. I should have caught on then but I didn't. On the way home she was caughing like crazy and I knew she had kennel cough. I called Coram Animal Clinic to make the earliest appointment possible.
I brought her in and the lovely (being sarcastic) Dr. DeGeorge took a look at her. She confirmed she had kennel cough & gave me a script which they filled there & I also brought in a stool sample which they confirmed that she did indeed have worms.
With in the next week I would be visiting the vet 3 more times. Finally it occured to me that Dr. DeGeorge & her staff were retarded and I took her to another vet who immediately diagnosed my min pin with the following and promptly filled out a not fit for sale certificate.
Heart murmer (on the scale of 106 she is rated a 2)
Kennel cough that had progressed from not being treated
Double Ear infection
Ear mites
So now it's going on 2 months and she has been to the vet 7 times. She needs to have an echocardiogram done along with a chest scan because they think she has fluid in her lungs. And did I mention the only thing the Coram Animal Clinic picked up on was the worms? I told them about the kennel cough & they only confirmed.
My poor dog is on so many different medications and has been to the vet so many times in her short little life. I am crossing my fingers and praying that her heart murmer isn't serious or they can figure out what it causing it and fix it.
I am glad I RESCUED her from Puppy Depor but I wish there was more I could do to shut that evil puppy mill selling place DOWN! After reading all these other reports it just makes me more livid. How can people have a heart and harm animals like this and neglect them? Then they pull on your heartstrings and you keep the dog because how could you not want to protect it from them?
Well I am about to battle them to pay for all my vet bills thus far and to pay for the chest scan & they echocardiogram. And if they don't to court I will go. Somehow I think they will though because it's "shut up" money.

By Tiffany Stecker
If President Obama's climate road map goes into force as planned, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will be tasked with crafting power plant rules that match the uneven terrain of different states' previous efforts to cut carbon.
Thirty states and the District of Columbia have enacted renewable portfolio standards, and 10 are involved in a cap-and-trade system for greenhouse gases. On the other end of the spectrum, some states derive nearly all their electricity from coal-fired power plants.
Years ahead of an official decision from EPA, think tanks, legal experts and economists are already asking how to approach the issue in a way that both ends of the spectrum reduce CO2 emissions.
"If EPA sets emissions guidelines that recognize diversity in state fuels but also recognizes there needs to be a minimum verification procedure," it would help states cooperate in crafting their state implementation plans, said Bill Becker, executive director of the National Association of Clean Air Agencies.
In his climate speech in June, Obama instructed EPA to develop regulations for both newly built and existing power plants, an effort EPA had been working on since it struck a deal with environmentalists and select states and cities in 2010 (ClimateWire, June 25).
The agency will use Section 111 of the Clean Air Act, which forces emitters to improve technology standards to cut pollution. In March 2012, the agency released a proposed rule for new power plants under Section 111(b) that capped emissions at 1,000 pounds per megawatt-hour. This would be an easy standard for units that run on natural gas, but coal-fired plants would be required to slash their emissions rate by about half. In response to the record number of comments, EPA will re-propose a new plant rule next month.
Moving into uncharted territory
Section 111(d) will be used to regulate existing power plants, which contribute about one-third of the nation's greenhouse gas emissions. EPA has applied Section 111(d) to control emissions from sulfuric acid plants and waste incinerators. It has also used the section to create a cap-and-trade system to control mercury from coal-fired power plants in a 2005 rule that was struck down in court. But it hasn't used the section for power plants more broadly and never for greenhouse gases. Section 111(d) requires the states to develop implementation plans, which are then approved by EPA.
Given the uncharted territory ahead for EPA, environmental groups, legal experts and economists have suggested the agency's best course of action would be a program that allows states to be flexible.
The Natural Resources Defense Council released a proposal in December in which states would set a utilitywide standard in the form of pounds per megawatt-hour. California -- with an energy landscape virtually free of coal, heavy investments in renewable energy and a cap-and-trade system -- would follow a lower threshold, near 1,000 pounds per megawatt-hour. Oklahoma, a state with about half coal-fired energy and half natural gas, would have a performance standard of about 1,250 pounds per megawatt-hour, according to Dan Lashof, director of NRDC's climate and clean air program. North Dakota, where about 82 percent of the electricity comes from coal, would be 1,500 pounds per megawatt-hour.
From there, states would decide to take steps to improve the thermal efficiency of power plants; shift dispatch from higher-emitting units to lower-emitting units; introduce renewable energy; make homes, businesses and industries more efficient; and incorporate combined heat and power systems at the plant. States with cap-and-trade programs, like California and parties to the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, would be allowed to trade emissions credits between states to satisfy their EPA cap.
"Essentially, any option that actually reduces emissions in the power sector should count toward compliance," said Lashof at an event earlier this month. Such a policy, according to NRDC, would boost efficiency measures and decrease coal use.
According to NRDC's plan, with economic modeling from ICF International, greenhouse gas emissions would drop by 26 percent by 2020 and 34 percent by 2025, as well as levels of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. The compliance costs would be around $4 billion in 2020, but the plan would yield $25 billion to $60 billion worth of climate and health benefits (ClimateWire, Dec. 6, 2012).
As it stands today, about 18 percent of the country's power generation in 2010 will be retired by 2022, according to the Edison Electric Institute. Those retirements don't necessarily translate into carbon reductions, said Lashof, because many of the retiring units do not generate a lot of electricity anyway.
Legal battles loom
The lack of a precedent in using Section 111(d) for carbon could threaten the possibility of a strong regulation that effectively cuts carbon. Industry lawyers, like Jeff Holmstead at Bracewell and Giuliani, say EPA can direct guidelines but states can be as stringent -- or lax -- as they choose.
"If they do more than that, they'll have legal problems, if they try to compel states to do things," said Holmstead.
The president's memo for releasing carbon rules called on EPA to use "standards, regulations, or guidelines, as appropriate." This is vague enough to suggest either legally enforceable rules that require a formal comment period and other regulatory steps or suggested paths to guide states, said William Walsh, an attorney at Pepper Hamilton LLP and former section chief in EPA's Office of Enforcement.
Dallas Burtraw, a senior fellow at Resources for the Future, analyzed how a flexible performance standard, in which state standards can be averaged across the United States, might address emissions. He and Matt Woerman found that penalizing only coal-fired plants would result in very high costs, especially in the Plains states and Texas -- the largest carbon emitter in the country. But by allowing all generating units to participate in greater emissions reduction, the regulations would lead to a reduction of 93 million short tons of CO2 emissions and a mere 1.3 percent increase in electricity costs.
The effect on reliability is still unknown, but a smooth transition is not out of reach. The Mercury and Air Toxics Standards passed last year, one of EPA's largest regulations to date in terms of cost and impact, resulted in relatively modest expenses for power plants connected by Eastern grid operator PJM, said Craig Glazer, vice president of federal government policy at the regional transmission organization.
"This is a question of how stringent the rules are, the flexibility and time period," Glazer said. PJM coordinates the movement of electricity across 13 states and the District of Columbia.
Becker of the National Association of Clean Air Agencies is planning to create a model state implementation plan to help governments comply with the EPA rules. He said states could meet the June 2016 deadline to submit implementation plans to EPA if the administration meets its own deadlines.
"It will be challenging but achievable," he said. "Any delay will make it far more difficult."

I am using a third party theme that, for some reason, does not have working avatars. The code seems simple but does not work for whatever reason.
Is there anything upstream I can look for in code that may cause avatars to not work?
I know this is a really generic question but I am not a themer or WordPress guru.
This is the code that is trying to get the avatar for an author bio at the bottom of a post.
<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta('email'), '70'); ?>
Posted in another section of the forums but this section probably makes more sense. Sorry for the dupe.

Alessandro is a nice guy and more: his apt is lovely! A nice mix of old things (collected with a nice taste) and convenience. We enjoyed the atmosphere in the apt and in the neighborhood. I would strongly advise to stay at his place.
Thank you and maybe see you again! =)
I love this apartment!! If I ever visit Milan again I definitely will choose Alessandros apartment.
We spent ten days in January in this appartement. We appreciated the clean and well equiped appartement which is located close to the heart of Milano, to the naviglio quarter und to design shops. Alessandro is a very friendly host. We had a good stay and we will use it whenever we will come back to Milano.
Last April and March I have studied in Milan and lived in Allessandro's appartment, together with a friend. The location was wonderful! With a large supermarket in the neighboorhood, gym's, nice places to eat, to have drinks, a nice bar underneath where we had our cappucino's and brioches. It was nice! It is near Navigli which makes it situated in, in my opinion, the nicest area of Milan. Also there is public transportation in the neighboorhood so you can easily travel around (tram, mibikes, metro, bus). We are two Dutch girls and we really felt safe in this area.
Also the house was very nice, it was clean, we had everything we needed: far enough towels, glasses, plaits, forks, nifes, cooking materials, washing machine, everything. It was big enough with two people. We only sometimes missed a door between the upper room and the rest of the appartment as well as a door between the living room and the 'hall', this hall did in fact have a door for the bathroom and one door to the kitchen. But it was Ok, and for me no reason to not go there again! We managed, and liked it a lot there! I will deffinetly recommend it, I felt lucky to be able to live in this place these weeks.
During the Milan design Week we had a great stay at this appartment in Tortona. The appartment was a very pleasant place, the beds were good and everything was nice and clean. At night it was pretty nousy, probably due to the design week, as Tortona was crowded that week.
Het appartement ligt in een leuke buurt met winkels en restaurants direct om de hoek. We werden zeer gastvrij ontvangen door Alessandro. Dit appartement heeft alles wat je nodig hebt voor een paar dagen MIlaan!
La casa è in ottima posizione, pulita e comoda, in un quartiere pieno di attrazioni.
Alessando è un ottimo padrone di casa, collaborativo e disponibile. La consiglio a tutti.
Ce fut un très bon séjour. L'appartement était parfait, très propre, bien agencé, semblable à la description sur le site.Très bon accueil. A conseiller pour un couple. Proche du centre ville et des commerces.

The West Windsor-Plainsboro Mathematics Tournament (WWPMT) was founded in 2013 by the WW-P High School South Math Club with the goal of exposing younger kids to the beauty of math. We all got our start in our math adventures through math contests, and so we decided to make a fun math contest for younger kids.
Since our initial tournament in 2013, over 500 contestants annually register for the contest, from over 4 states.
"I find the magnitude of the event pulled off by the high schoolers to be incredible! Simply the nature of the event established a fun environment that changed my son's perspective on mathematics in a much more positive regard."
"Overall, I think that the math tournament was a stupendous idea. Even though I didn't win, I still had fun time competing with others! I think the creator of this deserves a big five out of a five, because it lets us as, students have more fun!"
"Even though I may not be an [accelerated] student, I found the tournament really engaging. It doesn't matter about your level for the [mini-event] activities, which made us non-[accelerated] students feel less singled out and more involved...I wish I could participate next year too even though I would be in 9th grade."
Students enthusiastically reaching for all sorts of cube-shaped puzzles at the WWPMT's "Rubik's Cube" mini-event.
Aiming more than just being a contest, we want WWPMT to be a fun and inspiring experience. Because of this, our mini-events that happen after the main competition time are geared towards exposing students to the fun side of math. Our mini-events include exciting activities in cryptography (secret codes), and other cool math games. You can find out more about our mini-events here.
See our Contest Information page for full details on the contest, schedule, format, prizes, and procedures.
The tournament takes place at West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South, and this year (2015) it takes place on Saturday, October 10th.
The "contest" part of the tournament takes about 30 minutes, depending on which grade you're in. Mini-events will last 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on which grade you're in.
The entire event lasts a bit longer: students in grades 3 - 5 should arrive at 9:00 AM and will leave by 1:00 PM; students in grades 6 - 8 should arrive at 2:00 PM and will leave by 6:00 PM. We cannot accept significantly late contestants.
Do bring a pencil and an eraser or a pen, your student ID (which you will receive by e-mail once you register for the tournament online), and your registration fee.
Don't bring a calculator, any rulers or protractors or compasses or drawing implements, or any common-sense things you wouldn't normally bring into a school. We recommend you don't bring a phone.
We have problems and answer keys of all of our past contests available on our Past Problems page.
If you have questions about the tournament itself (e.g. questions about the contest format and other general inquiries), please contact the WWPMT team at email@example.com and we will respond promptly to your concerns. For issues with the site, contact the directors of technology at email@example.com.
There are only 100 spots open per grade, so register quickly!Register Now

Ways to Stop Foreclosure
(Page 2 of 2 of How to Avoid Foreclosure )
Filing for Bankruptcy
Filing for bankruptcy may help you keep your home or, at least, get you out from under your mortgage. When you file, the foreclosure process is legally stopped (called an "automatic stay"). It can't be reopened until your bankruptcy case closes or the lender gets court permission to proceed (called "lifting the stay"). For more information, see How Bankruptcy Can Help With Foreclosure.
Selling Your Home
If you simply can't afford the house you own, the above options won't help. You will probably lose your home. But don't wait for your lender to make the first move. If your home has appreciated in value since you bought it, you may be able to sell it yourself. (In fact, real estate investors may show up on your doorstep hoping for a bargain.) Again, contact your lender, who may let you stop making payments until the house is sold.
Ideally, the proceeds from the sale will cover your mortgage and selling costs. But, if they won't, ask your lender to consider accepting what's called a "short sale." That means that the lender accepts the sale proceeds even if they're less than the amount you owe. It's not as easy as it sounds, though. For one thing, lenders are notoriously slow at granting this approval, leaving prospective buyers in limbo. Getting approval is often easiest if you can demonstrate that you or your family has endured some personal hardship (as opposed to having spent foolishly).
Another issue with short sales is that some lenders will keep trying to come after you for the remainder of what you owe. Contact an experienced real estate agent or attorney before proceeding with a short sale.
Handing the Deed Over to the Lender
If no one is interested in buying your house, your lender may agree to take the deed and cancel your debt. This is called a deed in lieu of foreclosure. The idea is that the bank can then sell your house (as with an actual foreclosure) but won't report it as a foreclosure to the credit rating agencies -- in fact, you can negotiate with the bank about how it can help you preserve your credit rating. (To learn more about this option, read Short Sales and Deeds in Lieu of Foreclosure.)
Short sales and deeds in lieu of foreclosure will no longer leave you owing taxes. In the past, the IRS considered forgiven debt to be taxable income. However, this was erased for situations where the loan was for a primary residence by the "Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007," or H.R. 3648. For more information, see Canceled Mortgage Debt: What Happens at Tax Time?
Next Steps
For more detailed information on how bankruptcy can help you if you face foreclosure, get Nolo's book Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Keep Your Property & Repay Debts Over Time, by Stephen R. Elias and Robin Leonard. Also, Solve Your Money Troubles: Debt, Credit & Bankruptcy, by Robin Leonard and Margaret Reiter (Nolo), contains everything you need to know to get out of debt and repair your credit.
If you're having trouble making your mortgage payments or are already in jeopardy of foreclosure, see Nolo's Bankruptcy, Debt & Foreclosure Blog or the bestselling The Foreclosure Survival Guide.

HEXUS has pegged the MSRP for the upcoming OCZ Z-Drive, that array of SSDs in a PCI-E 4x slot. The 250GB version will be 950BP, say $1400USD, for ony $2150 you can double that storage, but of you want the big 1TbB model, you'd better have over $3300 kicking around. To full enjoy the extra bandwidth, you should also pick up a regular SSD for your OS drive. Not only will that help the transfer rates on your swap file and OS, there are not too many motherboards out there with a boot from PCI-E option.

AMD has announced their Q1 2009 results, and it was not nearly as bad as what the street was expecting. Analysts expected revenues around $977.8 million, but actual revenues came out at $1.177 billion. AMD still posted a significant loss for the quarter, but this is not a surprise. Losses were pegged at around $416 million. Due to tough economic conditions, and a large volume of inventory that was brought over from the traditionally strong Q4 of last year, AMD took some big hits due to factory under-utilization.

The Raptor Gaming K1 Keyboard doesn't seem to be for sale at any major online retailers, but it might be worth hunting down if you love keyboards with extras. In this case it is key locks, which can be used to prevent a key, say the Windows key, from being able to be depressed. This is a slightly more elegant solution than forcibly removing it with a screwdriver. It also comes with eight "afterglow" buttons, slightly higher than regular keys and with a glow in the dark top so you can find them if you like gaming in the dark.

The Boeing 747 jumbo cargo jet that mistakenly landed at a small Kansas airport yesterday evening, instead of at a nearby Air Force base where it was supposed to land, is expected to take off again at midday.
The runway at the airport in Wichita is just 6,100 feet long -- much shorter than it should be for the takeoff of a plane like that. But airport officials say the plane should be able to take off.
WILX's sister station KAKE in Wichita is live-streaming the Boeing Dreamlifter taking off from Jabara Airport in Wichita. Watch it here. The jet is scheduled to attempt the takeoff around 12:00PM CST.

We follow the trip of the two amateurs from their home to the Alps. They share their impressions and tell us what Mont Ventoux/Alpe d'Huez means for them.
Tour de France legends Sean Kelly and Richard Virenque start coaching them and give them advice on how to prepare for each part of the climb.
Our two lucky prize winners get all the little secrets that only professionals know.
Then the two amateurs finally meet Rolland and Froome and give their last impressions before their D-Day.
Oakley teamed up with Eurosport to launch a search for two fit and motivated cyclists to "Conquer the Road" to celebrate the 100th edition of the Tour de France in 2013.
Fans across Europe visited a digital hub developed by Oakley - conquertheroad.eurosport.com - and registered their profile.
Using their own social media networks via Twitter, Facebook and Google+ the fans then had to secure as many "kilometres" as possible through votes.
The more "kilometres" they earned the higher up the leaderboard they went.

They would send people out to my home and charge me $50.00 for a door knock every time they came out. This is after I had called them and said for example I will bring the payment to you in three days and they would send someone out anyways and charge me $50.00. On one occasion I was not home and my sister was at my house with a newborn baby.
The collector banged on the door and yelled my name for 20 minutes before leaving. My sister did not know who it was and was very frightened as he was banging on the door so loud it caused a picture to fall off the wall. I was three days late at the time. I received abusive and threatening text messages to my cell phone from another collector, calling me names and threatening to come take my vehicle.
Other times they called my family and friends and gave them specific account information and informed them I was late on my payments and was going to get my car taken away. They even went as far as demanding payment from them! Other times when I made payments over the phone they agreed to waive the normal fee of $20 to pay over the phone. They told me numerous times that if I gave them the payment over the phone right then that they would waive the fee.
When I asked for a detailed account statement of the fees on my account, they had in fact charged me $20 every single time I made a payment over the phone. I went as far to speak with a supervisor regarding the fees, and explained to her that I was told these fees would be waived and she was very rude and said there was nothing she could do. It was just another tactic for them to get payment.
Other times I received as many as 20 phone calls in a row on my cell phone, when collectors would call and call for 20 minutes straight. I have done research online and found many similar complaints regarding this company, and believe that they practice in illegal and harassing collection practices. Three years into the loan the engine went out on my vehicle. I was trying to save up to buy a new engine and continued paying Prestige for six months when I was not even driving the vehicle.
After that time I simply could not affford to make the payments. Prestige repossessed the vehicle (a 2002 Volkswagen Jetta) From the dealership I had taken it to while I was waiting to buy an engine. They charged me $1500 to repossess the vehcile and than they sold it for $600! Now get this... I paid them close to $14, 000 during the course of my loan.
The original amount of the loan was $16, 800. Now they are sueing me for $17, 000! They are sueing me for more than the original loan amount and they took the car!!! Unbelievable! I don't know how these people sleep at night.

Many thanks to those who chose to honor the memory of the late Charles J. Eardley by contributing toward a bench, not to mention the Friends of Freeman Library and the estate of Jocelyn H. Lee for providing the others!
Our Innovation Lab 3D printers have arrived! Both our MakerBot Replicator 2 and local company re:3D's printer, the Gigabot, both arrived recently, and we couldn't be more excited! Each day we move ever closer to the Innovation Lab, where the public will be able to use and learn about creative technologies such as 3D printing. We are eager for everyone to have access to this equipment and all it can do, but we ask for your patience as we try both to learn about these devices ourselves in order to help you learn as well and to finish construction on their permanent home in the Innovation Lab upstairs. We hope for construction to begin very soon, so stay tuned!
We are pleased to welcome a new addition to Freeman Branch Library! Our first 3D printer, the MakerBot Replicator 2, arrived yesterday. This is one of the first big steps that gets us a little closer to the Innovation Lab, a place where everyone can come and create with fun and exciting technology such as this. We look forward to providing you with more updates on our progress with the lab and all of its components over the next several months. Stay tuned for more as we move forward into the future at Freeman!
Mark your calendars for Tuesday, April 8th, at 7:00 PM at Evelyn Meador or Wednesday, April 9th, at 7:00 PM at Freeman! As a part of Freeman Library's continuing celebration of 50 years of service to the Clear Lake area, Freeman Branch Library, along with Evelyn Meador Library, are pleased to host Jennifer Pharr Davis, hiker, author, speaker, and 2012 National Geographic Adventurer of the Year!
We're very excited about the rough plan architects have put together for our Innovation Lab, which is projected for a summer or fall opening later this year. The lab will have quite a few fascinating and engaging technologies to offer to all ages, and we look forward to making it available to you! To see a larger imagine of this floor plan, select the document attached to this blog below.
Here is a key to to the numbers marked on the plan:
In continuing celebration of 50 years of service to Clear Lake, Freeman Branch Library is pleased to welcome back New-York based classical guitarist Peter Fletcher, who will return for another free performance on Monday, March 10th, at 7:00 PM.
Mr. Fletcher began the study of guitar at age seven and made his formal debut at fifteen. He made his Carnegie Hall debut in 2007 and returned in 2008, 2009, and 2010 to a sold-out house.
This is a free concert open to the public. This is not a ticketed event, but seating is limited.
Mr. Fletcher will also be performing at the Evelyn Meador Branch Library on Tuesday, March 11th, at 7:00 PM. That event is ticketed, so please call or visit ahead of time.
Who are these people in this random photograph? They're HCPL administrators Ron Lucik and Gene Rollins, along with representatives of Rice & Gardner Consultants, Inc. What are they doing in the library's Quiet Area? Two words: Innovation Lab. What's that? Well, in short, it will be a place where people of all ages can come and imagine, collaborate, and learn using unique creative technologies. Here is just one of the many things you might see in this space once it's completed: Click here to see something cool.
The library was recently privileged to receive a very generous bequest upon the passing of one of our customers. Jocelyn H. Lee, a former Clear Lake resident, named the Clear Lake City-County Freeman Branch Library in his will and left all who use the library with funds to benefit our activities, programs, and services both now and in the future.
The following is a brief bio on Mr. Lee, provided by those who knew him:
Freeman Library is privileged to have on display from May through August works created by young artists as part of the Humans in Space Youth Art Competition. This international competition, just having finished its second running, "encouraged youth (ages 10-18) to 'Be Inspired, Creative and Heard,' asking them to think about the future of human space flight and to creatively communicate their ideas through their visual, literary, musical or video artwork." Enjoy taking in the many beautiful and creative works from all over the world on display in our Internet Cafe and find out how you can generate interest or be involved in future competitions, which strive for its participants "to enhance their awareness, interest and support for human space flight."
New York-based classical guitarist Peter Fletcher will grace the library with a performance on Monday, March 11, 2013 at 7:00 P.M.
Mr. Fletcher began the study of guitar at the age of seven and made his formal debut at fifteen. He has studied under many of the great masters; Jose Tomas, David Leisner, David Russell, Oscar Ghiglia and Pepe Romero. He made his Carnegie Hall debut in 2007, and returned in 2008, 2009, and 2010 to a completely sold-out house. He will be performing there again in April, 2013.
Mr. Fletcher has also performed extensively on radio and television and has three recordings available which have received critical acclaim.
We are honored to have him perform for us.
Please Note: This is a free concert, open to the public, and seating is limited.

I just updated to the latest version and something is not right.
Shashin Error:
Invalid data property __get for fancyboxCyclic
If the plugin developer could take a look I would appreciate it, thanks!
I just updated to the latest version and something is not right.
Shashin Error:
Invalid data property __get for fancyboxCyclic
If the plugin developer could take a look I would appreciate it, thanks!
I got the same error message when I installed the Shahin automatic update and my website went haywire.
I fixed the problem by re-uploading the previous version of Shashin 3.09 (I think) Firstly I DEACTIVATED the newer version of Shashin, then I uploaded the previous version v3.09 using Filezilla Client. While uploading, it asked me to "over ride" ALL files when asked to do so, to which I said "Yes" and once it finished, it was automatically enabled in the plugins folder of wp.
Problem FIXED!!!! ... I now have my website back again YESSSS!!!!.
I won't be updating that program anytime soon. It wipes all your photos and leaves your website in a shambles, with the error message you mentioned above.
All the best in now fixing your website.
Yeah I did the same thing, I just wanted to be the first to post and make the plugin developer aware.
I am having the same issue. I have tried installing each upgrade of the Plugin Shashin. Each upgrade breaks things and I get the error message:
Shashin Error:
Invalid data property __get for fancyboxCyclic
Any help on this would be great.
Try to deactivate and re-activate Shashin plugin.
I just learned that when the automatic plugin update shows you a message saying its deactivating and reactivating the plugin, it's not really doing it:
As Sergey said, you will need to deactivate and reactivate Shashin in your plugin menu after updating.
I just uploaded version 3.1.3 which address several Fancybox issues.
Also, so you know, I had to switch to Fancybox in order to keep Shashin in the wordpress.org repository, as Highslide is not compatible with the repository's GPL licensing requirements. It was a lot of work switching to Fancybox, and it wasn't something I was originally planning to do.
waggles, what do you mean it "wipes out all your photos"? That definitely should not happen. If I can help you debug, let me know.
Now automatic update to version 3.1.3 do deactivation and re-activation by itself. But error message appear againg: "Invalid data property __get for fancyboxInterval".
Manual re-activation help to fix it.
@ Mike ... On my front page of the website, I lost all my photos that were on a revolving slideshow. It was replaced with a large orange box with the error message in it. Hence I had NO photos from the 6 odd photos that useually rotate non stop.
I couldn't access any of my pages ie, NO drop down menues when I ran my mouse over the tool bar at the top, ... I freaked out because I had just run a paid promotion on Groupon and hundreds of people were trying to access my website while all this was happening to it.
Once I re-installed the old verion back onto it, it worked fine, hence I'm now not going to touch it as the Groupon ad is still running till Sat. It was out for probably half an hour or so.
You need to make sure (or whoever it is that makes the updates), that they work first on a few other computers before putting them up for us "novices" to install, like a beta version or something. Had what I tried not worked, I would have been one upset guy by now. But thankfully, all went well for me in the end.
It also doesn't help to read that other people, everytime they do an update on this program, they have problems ... WTF?.
I'm new to WP as I'm a photographer not a web designer (could be my problem right there hey?), but I get by ok cause I've been working on computers for well over 12 years now and can work out most problems ok. But it should be simpler for guys (novices) like me to install updates, thats all I'm saying, instead you find out that your whole wesite crashes around you when you do an update.
Sorry for the rant, but it could have been serious for me, had it not worked in the end, but its all good now! LOL :)
What I didn't realize is that WordPress' auto-update function no longer runs the plugin's activation hook (it used to), even though the message says it is activating the plugin - http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/17833
The auto-update behavior is something that is not possible to test without an actual upload of a new version to the repository. That was the main source of people's troubles. The quirks with Fancybox were due to me having to rush to replace Highslide, as its not compatible with the licensing requirements of the wordpress.org repository (it has a Creative Commons license, not GPL; my bad for not being aware the licenses are not compatible).
If you are happy with Highslide, and you don't need multi-site support, you'll be fine staying on 3.0 for now. The main changes in 3.1 are multi-site support and the switch to Fancybox.
I updated the latest version but it just replaced all my photos with tags...
I tried to deactivate the plugin with no joy, now I just get a 500
Server error
The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.pauljgaston.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?action=deactivate&plugin=shashin%2Fstart.php&plugin_status=all&paged=1&s&_wpnonce=e15b4d3027. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this web page later.
HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfil the request.
Not sure where to go from here... All my other plugins deactivate without any problems...
Just shasin thats upset...
Any ideas? :)

Tracy was referred to us by our realtor. When our Arizona property was sold, Tracy assumed responsibility from our realtor to sell our home furnishings and belongings. For 6 months now we have been chasing her down for payment. She has repeatedly made excuses, delayed, broken promises, and we still have only received a very small portion of the total payment. My advice is to never ever do any business with Tracy.
She is completly unprofessional. It makes me wonder how many other people she's stolen from by selling their belongings and then not paying them. There is a lot more detail to this story. Bottom line, I would never trust Tracy or ever do any type of business with her ever again. SHe has destroyed a 20 year relationship we had witha realtor. She is not to be trusted, period!!

text: The other night I watched my Criterion blu-ray for the 4th time. Also, I was fortunate enough to see the restoration twice when it went on tour. You might say I love the film. THE RED SHOES is one of those great films that gets better with each viewing. It's overflowing with passion from its creators and characters in the film. The scene I really love is when Vicky is rehearsing and Craster is trying to get the tempo of the music just right. They're screaming at each other - Vicky says the music is too fast while Craster remarks he's not playing for a circus. Meanwhile, the camera cuts to Lermontov with a big grin on his face. Great scene.

Justice System Struggles with Mentally Ill Kids
Treating mentally ill kids is tough enough to begin with. Put them in the juvenile justice system and it only gets tougher. About two-thirds of U.S. juvenile offenders have at least one mental illness, notes the New York Times this morning.
It's been known for years that many in the prison population — both adults and children — have mental illnesses, and the number is likely to rise among juvenile offenders, according to the NYT, as limited community mental health resources constrict even further with budget cuts.
The challenges of providing mental health care in the prison system paints a pessimistic picture for youth offenders: For one, diagnosis of the illness is challenging if offenders' families can't be found and their school records don't come with them to the facility. Juvenile offenders increasingly come into the system being treated with multiple, potent psychiatric medications, yet there's a shortage of child and adolescent psychiatrists. And once in the facility, many are prescribed even more medication and sometimes for off-label purposes like to help them sleep.
"If you just give a kid a pill, the prison administration doesn't have to do anything differently," Joseph Parks, medical director for the Missouri Department of Mental Health, told the NYT. "The staff doesn't have to do anything differently. The guards don't have to get more training."
