After a deserving 1-0 win at the Keepmoat on Tuesday night against Cambridge United, Rovers look to get some momentum going, by earning a second consecutive victory v Cheltenham this Saturday. Not a lot went wrong for Rovers on Tuesday, so it's hard to pick areas for them to improve on, but one for sure is how clinical we are the box. The amount of shots we had on goal (and shots that realistically we should've taken), we should've arguably won by more than one goal. If we can make sure that we are clinical in the box, and perform like we did on Tuesday night, then I for one will be even more optimistic for the rest of the season - but it's all down to consistency now.
Ferguson still has the same dilemma to face regarding goalkeepers, after rotating Marosi and Etheridge for the past four games, but I think he'll stick with Marosi for this game, as he said that he wants to take Etheridge out of the firing line for a while. I do think Marosi is worth a shot for the next game, because he's kept a clean sheet and has been at the club for just over 2 years. Ferguson also switched from 3-5-2 to 4-4-2 when we earned our first three points of the season, so I would like to think he'll stick with the 4-4-2, because it was the best that we've played so far this season, and with Blair and Evina charging down the wings, we looked like a massive threat!
Last time we faced Cheltenham was in 2008/09 season when we beat them 3-0 in the FA cup, and last time we faced them in the league they beat us 2-1 just a year prior to the FA cup victory, so I hope that we have more of the result like we had in the FA cup this time round. Cheltenham have also had a very good start this season, since their return to the football league, under a very good manager in, Gary Johnson. They can't be taken lightly, and it's going to be a tough match, because they'll still have the momentum from promotion. They're also undefeated in their first three games of season, drawing all three of them, so hopefully we can be the team to give them their first loss of the season!
Predicted lineup v Cheltenham
Marosi; Lund, Wright, Butler, Evina; Blair, Houghton, Coppinger, Rowe; Marquis and Williams.

After a deflating draw on Saturday, Darren Ferguson looks to motivate his players up for a quick turnaround, for the visit of Shaun Derrys', Cambridge United. Doncaster last faced Cambridge in the FA cup in December 2015, in a 3-1 victory, which saw Fergusons' team through to the third round. Goals from Mitchell Lund and a double from Conor Grant helped Rovers on their way, but without Conor Grant this time round, who could help us with the goals this time? John Marquis has come very close in last few games, and I would hope that on a Tuesday night under the floodlights, that Marquis will shine, and finally get his goal that he deserves.
Andy Williams may lose his place, after Ferguson seems to be losing patience with the 30 year-old, after he missed two game-changing shots on Saturday, and Liam Mandeville could be the guy to step in his place. Mandeville has come on as a substitute during the last three games for Rovers, and has impressed on each occasion, even scoring a goal, so could this be the time for the 19 year-old to shine - I hope so! Riccardo Calder doesn't look good enough playing at LWB, so I'd favour someone, such as Cedric Evina to take his place for this game.
Darren Ferguson will also have a dilemma for his back 3 or 4, because on-loan defender, Niall Mason, has been ruled out for the match, after picking up an injury during Saturday's match, but youngster, Tyler Garrett could be his replacement after a good performance in last two games that he has been brought on.
Ferguson has confirmed that McSheffrey and Baudry are out for at least another three or four games, but didn't mention Keegan, which could indicate he could be on the verge of a return, so one silver lining to our form at the moment, is that we're very close to getting our squad fit again.
I really hope that we can pull of a victory here on Tuesday night, because I believe once we get that first win the confidence will come, and that we could go on a very good run, but we need to get the win first!
Predicted lineup v Cambridge:
Etheridge; Wright, Butler, Garrett; Blair, Coppinger, Rowe, Houghton, Evina; Marquis and Williams.

After two defeats in a row, Rovers look to get back on track as they host their first home league game of the 2016/17 campaign against Crawley. This is the best opportunity for Ferguson, and the players to set the standard for this season, because Crawley are a standard league two side, who are going to be similar to most of the oppositions that we'll be facing this season.
I look forward to seeing what line-up Ferguson goes for, because obviously he has Wright and Middleton now back to match fitness, and may have Paul Keegan on the bench. Joe Wright has now made two appearances for the club, and has impressed on both occasions, and he even won man of the match on Tuesday vs Nottingham Forest, so I expect that he'll be one of the first names on the team sheet.
It will be interesting to see what formation he goes with too, because he has received a bit of stick for his usual 3-5-2 system, but I understand he has used that, because of injuries, but now like I say, with players coming back I think it should be about time he reverts to his 4-4-2 diamond formation - but I personally think he will stick with the 3-5-2.
Liam Mandeville is another player who will be giving Ferguson a headache, because he came on as a substitute during the cup game vs Nottingham Forest, and scored the equaliser to bring Rovers back into the game, but who would Fergie take out of the squad attacking wise?
The debate will also continue into this match; whether Ferguson should chose Etheridge or Marosi to go in goal. Marosi impressed on Tuesday night, and with Etheridge having a poor performance on Saturday I really wouldn't want to be in Ferguson's position, because I'm torn between who I'd like to see in goal. Personally, I think Etheridge deserves another chance, because people do have off days, but at the same time I think Marosi deserves a chance after how patient he has been over recent years!
Not only do we need three points from this game, but we need to make sure that we stop conceding both early and late in the game, and that we tighten up a lot more, and stop getting un-done on the counter.
Last time Doncaster faced Crawley, was in February 2015, in league one, where Paul Dickov over saw a thrilling 5-0 victory for Rovers; which has been our biggest victory since. I sincerely hope that we have a similar result this Saturday, or the pressure is going to be growing even greater on Darren Ferguson!
Predicted lineup vs Crawley
Etheridge; Mason, Butler, Wright; Blair, Houghton, Rowe, Middleton, Calder; Marquis and Williams.

It was disappointing to come away at the weekend without a point, or three, but we now look to the league cup, where Doncaster Rovers host championship side, Nottingham Forest. The board have said that they're not focusing on cup competitions this season, to prioritise promotion out of league two, so don't expect much from this match; well then again we might actually win if we play with no pressure.
Doncaster last beat Nottingham Forest in 2012, 1-2, when we visited the City Ground with Kyle Bennett and Frederic Piquionne scoring the two goals. And when we last played them in league cup, in 2004, they beat us 2-0, so lets hope we get our revenge 12 years on!
We've only managed to beat them 6 times in 17 games over the last 12 years, and that was when we were competing in the same division as them, but now we're two divisions below them, and getting beat by Accrington Stanley on a Saturday afternoon.
With us not taking this game as serious as a league game, I expect us/hope we field some youth players, such as: Pugh, Longbottom, Mandeville and Beestin, which I think would do them some good to get some competitive first team experience.
Also, from last Saturday's match I expect Lund, Coppinger and Calder will be playing, because they for me were not good enough on Saturday, so this way I think they'll have to go out there and prove to Darren Ferguson why exactly they should be in the squad for the Crawley math.
One thing that excites me is that Ferguson has said he is going to give Joe Wright some game time in this match, and I think him and Baudry are going to be two key players in our defence this season, so this gives me some optimism for the future. All we need now is Baudry to get fit.
In addition I would play Marko Marosi in goal. Now, I didn't slate Etheridge on Saturday, because it was a mistake, yes, but Stuckmann made mistakes too and I supported him, but I think it's about time we give Marosi a chance, and I think Tuesday would be the best possible time for him to have this chance. You never know, the healthy competition may be what they both need.
Line-up I think Ferguson may go for on Tuesday v Nottingham Forrest:
Etheridge; Lund, Butler, Wright, Garrett; Houghton, Coppinger, Calder, Middleton; Beestin and Marquis.
by Paul Williams
For the first time since they were promoted back to the Football League (sorry, the EFL), Accrington Stanley aren�t favourites for relegation. That�s because they would have been starting off in League One today had they not messed up on the final day of last season.
On that basis, you�d think a visit to the tiny Crown Ground would be a tough start for Rovers especially as no-one, probably including Darren Ferguson, knows who will be fit and into what formation they will be inserted after a pre-season which has been costly in terms of injury, especially for poor Luke McCullough.
Stanley�s successful side of last year has been dismantled, however, and they�ve also had their problems pre-season. Goalkeeper Ross Etheridge is now Rovers� number one and highly-rated defender Adam Buxton left for Portsmouth during the week to further disrupt the plans of long-serving manager John Coleman. Maybe the home side, like Rovers, would probably settle for avoiding defeat on the opening day to give them something to build on.
Etheridge, Tyler Garratt, Matty Blair, Joe Wright and John Marquis could all make their competitive debuts for Rovers on the wrong side of the Pennines. They will be backed by a 1,000-plus following but fans may have to give the new boys a few weeks to gel. However, the opening game should give us a good idea of what to expect this season from League Two.

A modern restaurant right on the Regnitz, with a beautiful terrace during summer. They serve Gänstaller Zwickelpils and one of their own beers. The young staff sometimes seemed a bit overwhelmed, but did a fine job. The food is very good and the prices fair for such a restaurant. Worth a visit to have a nice meal!
_angst_ (97) Göteborg, Sweden | July 1, 2016
Ambiance - Clean modern restaurant located with a fantastic view over the river. Almost empty at the time of our visit.
Service - Fair.
Selection - Some great local beers. The Gänstaller Zwicklpils was outstanding!
Food - Very nice. Had the asparagus flammkuchen which I loved.
Value - Fair!
Additional comments - None!
rlgk (611) Göteborg, Sweden | June 20, 2016
Nice restaurant that also is a hotel. The room for the restaurant is located just inches from the river, you can by the window and punt the fishes in the river. Servive was nice, the Flamkuchen was great and the beers we had were all of high quality. All in all a place to visit in Bamberg.
olsvammel (176) Örebro, Sweden | August 22, 2015
Very nice location on the river. However the staff wasnt very friendly (and extremely slow) and the menu didnt look very interesting so we ended up walking out without drinking or eating (and we where very hungry).
KyotoLefty (656) Kyoto, Japan | March 27, 2015| Updated April 1, 2015
I sat outside on a lovely, sunny afternoon and drank two of the best beers in the world. Where else can you do that? One of a select few bars with two Ganstaller beers on tap. Do you need any other reason to go? Lunch was great too, and cheap.
HenriqueBraga (29) Rio de Janeiro, Brazil | January 22, 2015
This place is AMAZING. Best food I had in Germany during a two week trip. Nice selection of beers. 5-star service and the restaurant and the hotel are really modern and wonderful. Just wish I could go thee more often.
bartlebier (129) Belchium im Biersgau, Germany | January 2, 2015
Visited late 12/2014, inter festas. Upscale (for Bamberg), newish and clean bio restaurant & bar location with brunching, lunching and dinner options, - with the aforementioned 2 main draws: 1-upon the closing of Gänstaller the only steady source of his beers in the Bamberg area, 2-planted on its own insula in the Pegnitz. Given its Schweinsbraten surroundings comparatively fancily bio-oriented in its menu (had an excellent Blutwurst/black pudding on blandish undercooked marjory potato dices), higher than average beer prices compared to all its neighbouring Brauhäuser, which is still very fair by Badian pub standards. Young female professional catering staff adds to the brunching crowd, off-the-beaten-rustic-Bamberg-path atmosphere. Somewhat underwhelmed with all draught beers incl. the house beer given their reputation, Id rather have any oldtimer by Fässla, Schlenkerla, Spezial, Mahrs or Keesmann in context anytime. Might hang out in their bar or patio area in milder seasonal visits.
Rune (637) Tromsø, Norway | October 25, 2014
Special location, not by the river, but actually in a house in the middle of the the river (Linker Regnitzarm), and only a few steps from Klosterbräu. Its a modern, hipster place with a bar at the entrance and a restaurant with a great view further inside. Interior in stone and wood. Clean and airy impression. Three bottles and five to six beers on tap to choose from, including a few from Drei Kronen and one from Gänstaller. Friendly service, a bit absent now and then. Clean toilets even with a guest book. Perhaps not a must-visit place, however recommended for the nice location (visited with Finn and people from Haandbryggeriet 10.10.2014).
JulienHuxley (403) Trois-Rivières, Quebec | July 20, 2014
Beautiful restaurant on the river in Bamberg, just around the corner from Klosterbräu. There are 2 good reasons to come here: food that isnt German cuisine, and Gänstallers Zwickelpils. The service was good, we were helped by two young ladies that spoke good english. The food was quite tasty and affordable (the lunch menu of the day was 5,40 euros if I remember right) Dinner choices seem a bit fancier thus pricier as well. The beer although served from a keg was quite tasty. Would return for sure.
nate2g (1094) Boomtown!, Australia | May 17, 2014
Fortunately I didnt overlook Eckerts during my stay. Its a very lovely restaurant and the design of the building flows through effortlessly, with views of the river inside and out. The reason I came here was for the Ganstaller Zwickelpils which warranted numerous glasses. It was busy during the afternoon service however staff were great. Its pricey to drink here (by way of Bamberg standards) but its a nice change of scenery regardless.

Thomas' Theorem
Thomas' Theorem:
+ add to my flashcards
cite this term
Thomas� Theorem is a sociological theorem authored by W.I. Thomas and D.S. Thomas in 1928. It states that �if men define situations as real, they are real in their consequences.� In short, this means that humans define and respond to situations as a result of their own experiences and thereby create the consequences that they expect.
An example of this might be how a person who firmly believes in the existence of and power of supernatural forces, i.e. voodoo or witchcraft, is much more likely to suffer from illnesses or injuries that they believe could be brought about by practitioners of those arts.

Sylvan's Jewelers
In 1890, brothers Gustaf (Gus) Jonson, a watchmaker, and Johannes (Joe) Bengtson Sylvan, a jeweler, completed their apprenticeships and made the momentous decision to leave their home in Sweden to seek their fortune in America. They booked passage to the port city of Savannah, Georgia eager to set their plans in motion. It was the dawn of a new, modern era defined by innovation, exploration and optimism. Anything and everything was possible.
The brothers quickly found work with a Savannah jeweler and began to build for their dream. Four years later they were ready to find the right location for their shop and split up to explore the possibilities. Gus made his way to Columbia, South Carolina and Joe went to Montgomery, Alabama. Gus arrived in Columbia to find a vibrant city with a growing economy - everything they were looking for.
On September 22, 1897, Gus opened the doors to Gustaf Sylvan's High Grade Jewelers at 1524 Main Street. The next day an article in The Columbia State extolled the elegance of the new store..."Mr. Gustaf Sylvan has opened a high grade jewelry store at number 1524 Main Street. He has fitted his store handsomely with walnut and glass cases, which show his elegant stock off to good advantage. Mr. Sylvan proposes to cater to the best trade of Columbia."
Joe joined Gus in Columbia six months later, and on March 1, 1898, the last ad for Gustaf Sylvan's Jewelers ran in The State. The following day, the first ad for Sylvan Brothers Jewelers appeared. Their dream had become a reality.
In 1905, the brothers acquired a Second Empire style building on the corner of Main and Hampton Streets, the first large building constructed in Columbia after the Civil War. They opened at the new location on June 24, 1905, where Sylvan's Jewelers is still headquartered today. In 1906, the brothers installed a beautiful four-sided clock on the sidewalk in front of the store, now a beloved local landmark.
In 1985, Arnold Schiffman, the owner of Schiffman's Jewelers,an independent luxury jeweler based in Greensboro, NC, received a call from Ned Lipscomb, an old friend who had married into the Sylvan family of Columbia, South Carolina. Sylvan's Jewelers was a company much like Schiffman's - both firms were family owned and operated carriage trade jewelers, and both firms were among the oldest retailers in their respective markets. Ned, a former star football player at the University of North Carolina, had been managing the firm for his wife's family. With no one in the next generation to take over, Ned had decided to sell. Arnold and his son Tony drove down to Columbia to see Ned. After a quick look around the store, Arnold and Ned shook on a deal, leaving Tony and Ned's sons to take inventory. Because the company was three hours from Greensboro by car, they decided to retain the Sylvan name.
Through the years Sylvan's has provided jewelry, silver, china and timepieces for many of the state's business and governmental leaders, including many orders for the Governor's Mansion. One of the firm's first commissions was the design of the first University of South Carolina ring. True to company heritage, the firm stays involved with the community supporting organizations such as the Palmetto Health Foundation, the Columbia Museum of Art and the Community Arts Foundation and the Columbia Ballet.
The Sylvan's Building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Jessica Kellner, Editor
Remember that old, pretty crappy '80s movie Problem Child with John Ritter? Of course you do! And remember that crazy, red-headed kid who played the main character, Junior, who terrorizes everyone in the movie? Well, that red-headed brat is the physical embodiment of a story we're working on right now for the May/June issue. Our staff always jokes that every issue has to have at least one "problem child"—a story that, though we like it and are excited to get it into the issue, just won't come together. Even with our brilliantly talented designer, Michelle Galins, at the helm, sometimes a story's bits and pieces are hard to bring together. Maybe the headline is too long. Maybe there are too many sidebars, and we need all of them! Maybe we can't find the perfect image. Or maybe when we do, the images just won't play nicely together. Whatever it is, it seems every issue there's that one bratty kid who's running amok. This time it's a great piece that highlights ways to address major issues in your home under various categories: Energy Savings, Water Conservation, Air Quality and more. We are just having a heck of a time getting all this great info to come together in a package that's easy on the eyes and easy to understand. I think our designer is on about version 10 right now, and hopefully she's drinking some calming herbal tea.
But! There is also something really great about problem children. When they work out in the end (and they usually do), you feel so much more accomplished for having gotten them there. You might always look at the article (or whatever task you tackled) and think, gosh, I'm SO glad to be done working on that one, but you also think, gosh, we got this thing looking pretty good! I know we all have problem children in our lives, and they can be a mess to deal with. But in the end, when we work out the kinks (and sometimes realize you're just overthinking it), getting those problem children in line are the accomplishments that make us the most fulfilled. I just thought I'd share my thoughts at 4:00 on this sunny Tuesday. I hope you are working out the kinks with your problem children, too.

The city council in Williams Lake is standing firm after voting unanimously this week to take steps to have prolific criminal offenders injected with GPS tracking chips.
It's not clear whether anyone has developed such a chip — B.C.'s solicitor general said he hadn't heard of it — and civil liberties advocates decried the notion of such a physically invasive step.
But after an incident in a Williams Lake park this past Monday in which a man robbed a 14-year-old boy of his bicycle, apparently at gunpoint, councillors were keen to do something.
"That was the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak," Mayor Walt Cobb said Thursday. "It's got our community up in arms."
Coun. Scott Nelson sponsored the motion, which the city will take to a meeting of northern municipalities this May, and then to the Union of B.C. Municipalities in September, aiming to persuade the provincial government to expand GPS tracking beyond ankle bracelets.
"We're saying that doesn't go far enough," Nelson said. "The word 'injectable' comes out, and that spun everybody up — they're thinking some Terminator kind of thing."
Corrections B.C. introduced GPS-enabled ankle bracelets last December, and currently has 39 people being electronically supervised as part of court-ordered conditions regarding curfews and area restrictions.
Cobb said Williams Lake wants permanent monitoring of prolific offenders, and injecting GPS trackers into them would fit that bill.
"Apparently it's something that is permanent. I don't know whether it's tattooed on, or exactly how it works," Cobb said. "Ankle bracelets, you could cut off."
Cobb went on: "I know the human rights people are going to be hueing and crying, 'It's an infringement of your rights.'
"But you know what, this politically correct stuff has got to go. We've got to start protecting the innocent, not protecting the crooks."
Lawyer Micheal Vonn of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association said injecting a microchip under someone's skin "is about as draconian as you can get."
"It's a violation of bodily integrity of the most profound kind," said Vonn. "It's almost impossible to understand that there would be a circumstance where a court would go for that."
Williams Lake has been troubled in recent years by a struggle for control of the area's drug trade between two criminal gangs, whose combined members number about 20.
Nelson said local RCMP keep a list of prolific offenders in Williams Lake, numbering from 12 to 15 names, and he said those are the individuals he wants to see monitored.
"What we're asking for is 24-hour surveillance," Nelson said. "We're talking about these guys that have got track records 14 miles long and the rap sheets three-and-a-half pages long. We want to know exactly what they're doing and where they are, 24 hours a day.
"We know that when they get out of jail and hit the streets, we're going to get a spike in crime. The police have told us, publicly told us that."
Nelson said it was his understanding that some U.S. jurisdictions were already using the injectable GPS tracking for offenders. But Jay Stanley, who tracks tech-related issues for the American Civil Liberties Union, said that was news to him.
Stanley said implantable microchips were developed more than 10 years ago for identification, health-care and financial applications, but none have come into common use.
"There are GPS bracelets, ankle bracelets. but in terms of GPS chips being implanted in somebody's body, I've never heard of that," the Washington D.C.-based Stanley said.
B.C. Solicitor-General Mike Morris said he wasn't familiar with the injectable technology being talked about in Williams Lake.
"However, we have just implemented a new electronic monitoring system that has increased capabilities, such as GPS function, for the courts to apply at their discretion," Morris said in reference to the ankle bracelets now in use.
He said his ministry has a team working with Williams Lake and nearby First Nations on collaborative approaches to crime prevention.
Monday's incident involving the boy and the gunman at Boitanio Park was captured from a distance on video surveillance cameras installed more than 10 years ago after a rash of thefts from cars at the nearby arena parking lot.
Cobb said the city has ordered new, higher-definition cameras for the park and other public areas. Four are already in place in the downtown area and more are coming this spring.
"That (park camera) was not high-definition enough to get close," Cobb said. "You can tell the guy lifts up his arm and points, but is he pointing his finger or pointing a gun? The new cameras, they'll be able to tell the colour of your eyes."

I turn on Antispam Bee, and make my setting changes (mark as spam, do not delte, honeypot key, etc.). I save these changes, and everything works fine.
A few hours later I return to my site, and find that it has turned off. I have to go back and re-input all my settings again.
I'm not sure why it is doing this.
Has anyone experienced this, and know of a fix?

Take a good look at the result of the parent loan for college.
That's what my client's situation looks like to me:
If college makes the life of the kids, it stands to ruin the lives of the parents.
What kind of educational system not only tolerates, but facilitates such madness?
This story gets worse, unfortunately. The kids have their own student loans for which they are liable. The kids have no legal liabilility for the parent loans. And probably little capacity to pay their loans and their parents' loans.
But because one of the parents was unemployed when the loans were taken out, the lender required the guarantee of one parent's sibling.
One of the hardest things about teaching, whether in an informal setting or in a classroom, is telling someone that they are . . . ahem, WRONG. Or at least not right. Or could use improvement. Or there is an opportunity to improve. Something like that. . . . Professor Alan Resnick, a beloved bankruptcy scholar and practitioner, had a gift of helping others improve their work. He would generously and gently offer suggestions, always making those around him feel hope that the could improve. Whenever one worked with Alan, they felt profound gratitude that the bankruptcy world had his intellect and commitment.

Mediators and mediating parties beware!
The mediation of a contentious commercial case concludes without an agreement. But the mediator keeps trying.
The mediator sends a post-mediation email to counsel for "Jonathan" conveying a proposal, which includes these statements from the other party:
–"Jonathan knows the extent of his wrongdoings and our client believes that Jonathan is in very serious trouble."
–"It is clearly in everyone's (and particularly Jonathan's) interest to wrap this up speedily and quietly. . . . – the concern being that others will become aware of it."
–"settlement will obviate the need of further steps such as committal proceedings."
–"If Jonathan has misled HSF and sworn false evidence . . . Jonathan will face charges of perjury, perverting the course of justice and contempt of court and is likely to be imprisoned."
–"In the above circumstances, Jonathan's credibility and reputation will be destroyed."
The case is pending in England.

Although home foreclosures are on the decline in many areas throughout the United States, homeowners in New Jersey have not been so fortunate. According to data compiled by RealtyTrac, a major real estate information provider and online marketplace for foreclosed properties, New Jersey actually leads the nation when it comes to foreclosures.
Home Foreclosures Down in the US
The RealtyTrac data indicates that the total number of home foreclosures in several states has declined significantly in recent years. In fact, the recovery process from the economic recession in some states is seemingly complete. Across the nation, home foreclosures have reached their lowest number since 2006, with just one in every 249 housing units in the U.S. currently in foreclosure. Compared to 2015, foreclosures on houses are down approximately 17 percent.
Home Foreclosures Remain High in New Jersey
In contrast to the good news for property owners in many states, NJ homeowners are finding it harder and harder to keep up with their monthly mortgage payments. Right now there are nearly 35,000 foreclosed properties in New Jersey, which represents slightly less than one percent of all housing units in the Garden State. To put that number in perspective, consider that the national rate is just 0.4 percent.

The scope of the Bankruptcy Code's safe harbor for certain financial contracts has been tested again, this time in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Louisiana. The question this time was whether an ipso facto provision continues to be safe harbored if enforcement of that provision is conditioned on other factors – in this case, the debtor's failure to perform under the contract.
Consistent with prior case law, the court held that termination is only safe harbored if it is based solely on a condition specified in 365(e)(1), i.e., the financial condition of the debtor, bankruptcy, or the appointment of a trustee. Because the ipso facto provision in this case contained an additional condition to enforcement (the debtor's breach), it no longer fell within the safe harbor. Thus, even if both conditions were satisfied (bankruptcy and breach), the automatic stay applied and the termination clause could not be exercised absent relief from the automatic stay.

A Power of Attorney for Healthcare designates someone to represent you when you are unable to make decisions or unable to communicate decisions about your healthcare. This healthcare "agent" will be someone you trust to make all necessary medical decisions on your behalf and respect your wishes regarding life support, religion, and personal choices.
A Power of Attorney for Healthcare covers situations that a living will does not. A living will takes affect if you are terminally ill, in a permanent vegetative state, or other similar condition defined by Wisconsin law. What happens if you are only temporarily in a coma or temporarily unable to communicate? This is where a Power of Attorney for Healthcare is used.

Home equity makes up most of the net worth of California seniors.
Most are house poor. Lots of equity, little in liquid assets.
But unless you take a very expensive reverse mortgage, that equity may as well be under lock and key. You can't pay the monthly expenses from value in real estate.
When expenses pile up, when seniors need to downsize or move to assisted living, California's homestead law doesn't protect them.
Sell the house, and your life savings in the house are exposed to your creditors if you don't buy a new house with the proceeds.
And just how many seniors can qualify for a new mortgage?
Even assuming they want and can maintain another home.
Yet that's the way current law works.
Rock, meet hard place.
Once you and your bankruptcy attorney go through your bankruptcy petition to make sure it is accurate and you both sign your names in all the appropriate places, the Petition is then filed electronically with the Court. The second your Bankruptcy petition is filed the Court appoints a bankruptcy trustee to administer your case.
Halcón Resources Corp. et al (NYSE: HK) and 21 affiliates have filed chapter 11 petitions before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (Lead Case No. 16-11724). The debtors are an independent energy company focused on the acquisition, production, exploration and development of onshore liquids-rich assets in the United States, based in Houston, Texas. The debtors previously announced their intention to pursue an expedited pre-packaged chapter 11 plan and that they have entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement with their third-lien noteholders. The petition for Halcón Resources Corporation, including the consolidated list of top 30 creditors, is provided here. The dockets will be available through Epiq.

In Omaha, Nebraska, where I live and practice, mediation plays a central role in civil litigation outside the Bankruptcy Court. And it's playing an increasing role in Bankruptcy Court as well—but that's a story for another day.
Mediation is a vital part of the civil litigation culture around here. And it's been that way for quite a while. It seems that attorneys plan for mediation as part of their strategy in any given case.
Mediation rules in Nebraska's Federal District Court encourage mediation. For example,
–Its "Mediation Plan" authorizes a federal judge to "refer a case to mediation" when the judge finds "a resolution of the case by mediation a practical possibility."
–Its "Rule 26(f) Report" form requires competing attorneys to address mediation possibilities and timing at the beginning of a case.
And Nebraska's Dispute Resolution Act for state courts begins with these findings:

Student loan news all over the place this week, including
some new stuff on Student Loan Servicers.
Yes, election year. What about that Libertarian candidate?
That is one of Mr. Johnson's proposals, though a few Republican
candidates have tossed that one out before.
He shares my views on student loans driving up the cost of college while driving down the value of a degree.
Johnson: It's guaranteed government student loans. If guaranteed government student loans never existed, tuition today would be half of what it is, because colleges and universities would have to go out and attract you as a student. And they would have to be as effective and efficient as everything else in our lives. But because you are guaranteed a government student loan, you have no excuse to not go to college. Colleges' and universities' tuition keeps going up. They have absolutely no reality with regard to their pricing. If every college student tomorrow says, "I'm not going to go to college until the price of college, university education drops," guess what? It would. It would happen. It would happen dramatically.

Under Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, a debtor or trustee can sell estate assets "free and clear of any interest" in such assets. This short, simple string of six words represents one of the most powerful tools in the bankruptcy professional's arsenal. In many situations, section 363(f) allows the bankruptcy estate to unlock the value of certain assets that might be wholly unmarketable, or otherwise severely diminished in value on account of unknown or unasserted claims against such assets or due to uncertainty regarding the amounts of, or relative priority among, secured claims against such assets. In some cases, access to section 363(f) is the primary driving force behind a bankruptcy filing.

What are the consequences of filing bankruptcy?
Is it better to live with the debt and keep making minimum payments?
That question sums up most people's fears about shedding their debt through bankruptcy.
What will life be like, after bankruptcy?
Good questions. And I applaud people who realize that debt and debt relief each have future consequences. I've talked about it before.
Clients fear the " bankruptcy unknown", closing their eyes to the precariousness of their current situation as though doing nothing is a worthy choice.
But lets turn the question around: what will life be like if you continue on like you're doing?
Servicing debt from the past cuts down your future options. Your paycheck is already committed before it hits the bank.
Whether it's payday loans or credit cards for this month's necessities, you're locked in.
If you are just starting to consider filing a bankruptcy case, you're probably wondering where to start. You're asking yourself "What information and documents will I need to provide to my lawyer or to the court?" This blog post will lay out the basics you need to get started.
First, you'll need your Driver's License and Social Security Card. The Court will require you to present a government issued photo ID. If your License has been suspended or you don't have one, then you'll need to get a Non-Driver ID card. Your local State Trooper's License Office can issue one and they'll tell you what you need to get one. Also, if you've lost your Social Security Card, then you'll need to go apply for a new one. You can apply at the Social Security office and it usually takes a few weeks to get your new card.

Theoretically, a Russian debtor is able to reorganize. In practice, the law currently does not encourage voluntary restructuring of debt in a way designed to preserve the continued operation of business and jobs. The interests of debtors and creditors are not appropriately balanced at present to achieve the best results. Creditors currently have a strong incentive to aggressively pursue legal action against distressed businesses, to secure their vote at creditors' meetings and the right to propose their own candidate to serve as an interim trustee.
An article outlining the main insolvency law in Russia, the Federal Law No. 127-FZ of October 26, 2002 "On Insolvency" (the "Law") which deals with pre-insolvency re-organization and formal insolvency procedures including re-organization, has recently been published in Eurofenix, the official quarterly journal of INSOL Europe and examined this question.

Is there any support for details to pop up on mouseover for events in the calendar view? Some other calendars and plugins have that kind of AJAXy functionality.
The most I've seen on an AEC site is popup title / alt text.
The problem is that to get any detail on the events one (apparently?) has to click on it, and the resulting "lightbox" style popup takes too long.
I've checked the FAQ, but I'm a newbie so apologies in advance...

I was out and about taking photos in Manchester on the day which would have been Douglas Adams' 60th birthday. Bearing this in mind, I was very chuffed to find this lovely 42 painted onto some scruffy railway arches.
For those who don't know what this is about I shall try to explain very briefly! There is a computer in the the book (called Deep Thought) which has worked for seven and a half million years to discover the meaning of life, the universe and everything and it's ground breaking, earth shattering answer was 'Forty Two'.
So now you can own the meaning of life to ponder upon of to even give it as a gift!

In a 51-47 vote, 43 Senate Republicans and four Democrats filibustered to protect $24 billion in tax breaks for Big Oil. Although a majority voted for Sen. Robert Menendez's (D-NJ) bill, it fell short of the 60 needed. The only two Republicans to break rank were Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) and retiring Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME).
A Think Progress Green analysis shows how oil and gas companies have funneled cash to the same senators who protected its handouts:
Democrats who joined the Republicans in defeating the bill include Sens. Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Ben Nelson (D-NE), Mark Begich (D-AK), and Jim Webb (D-VA). Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) and retiring Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) broke ranks and voted to cut the tax breaks. Two senators, Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) and Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) didn't vote.
Republicans have taken an overwhelming 88 percent of oil and gas contributions this election cycle. While showering politicans with cash, the oil industry also spent over $146,000,000 on lobbying last year.
Although 55 percent of Americans want to see Big Oil welfare end, the GOP once again largely acted in-line with their Big Oil donors.
The full list of oil contributions for the Senate can be found in the original version of this article here.

The Junior Play Bocce Set is designed for beginning Bocce players. It comes with four sets of two different colored wood lacquered balls in red, blue, green, and yellow, and these balls are three inches. (A standard Bocce ball is about 4.2 inches, and a standard set comes with four green and four red.) The set also comes with one jack ball and rules. The object of the game, for two to four players, is to throw your colored balls and try to get them closest to the jack.
The balls in this beginner Bocce set are very light and will be easier for young kids to throw. This is a fun way for the whole family to be active and have fun outside.
The company says The Junior Play Bocce Set is for ages 13 and up, but we think that parents can play this with much younger kids, too.
The company also makes a Classic Bocce Set, sold separately.

Tasting Policy
On April 1, 2015, we went to a pay to taste arrangement at the tasting room. After much internal discussion and research throughout the wine industry, we began a new tasting policy at the winery. Wine tastings are offered to customers at a price of $5 for 8 wine samples. We also will be offering $1 per taste if guests would prefer fewer than 8 wines. The limit on wine samples will be 8 which we believe allows our guests to try enough of our wines to get a feel for the wine style and taste, while also being responsible with alcoholic beverages. Customers are welcome to split their tastes with another individual too. We appreciate your support, and your patronage, and hope to see you at the winery soon!
We offer a number of discounts at the winery when purchasing wine, including:
- 4 bottle BBV reuseable bag – 5 percent off purchase
- 6 bottles – 5 percent off purchase
- 12 or more bottles – 10 percent off purchase
- Wine of the month discounts – 5 percent off individual bottles of the wine of the month; 15 percent off full cases of wine of the month.
- Veteran's Discount – 10 percent
Hours of Operation
On April 1, we started our Summer hours – Open Monday to Saturday 11 am to 6 pm. Open on Sunday 1 pm to 6 pm. We are closed on these major holidays: New Year's Day, Easter, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day.

I have been using the product for 15 days with no results, in fact, I have had more hot flashes and night sweats then before I took it. It has not done anything noticeable to my libido either. I decided to cancel during my free trial before they charged my account and did the same thing to me.
I first tried the website which instructed me to go to www.askberkely.com to cancel. I went through the site methodically, trying every link but was not successful. I did however find links to this site and others denouncing both "Avlimil" and Warner Managed Care Products. Then I called the phone numbers listed, not once but many times only to be put on hold for long periods of time, without getting a human on the phone.
Finally, after 45 minutes of waiting, I was able to talk to a Cust. Service Rep, "Rich" who took my cancellation and gave me a confirmation number ...BUT..informed me that they had ALREADY shipped AND CHARGED MY ACCOUNT a $70.00 order to my home the day before. I replied to him that I not only did not want the order, but WHY would they send me another order when I still have almost a half month supply of pills left!!!!! His answer was they have to send them early enough so that I would get them while I still had a weeks supply left, because continuancy of taking the pills was important for the desired effect. He told me I could not get a refund of this money, NOR could I return the Pills. I am going to send a copy of this Rip-Off Report to Eyewitness News and also the Better Business Bureau.
Their website is set up in a way to mislead you and they make cancelling your subscription difficult and lengthy enough so they can milk your credit card with another order and get away with it.

Dear Christophe
Thanks for your comments. I am not deleting it, this your opinion and this okay to me,
From my side i have done multiple successful Hosted Exchange Project in the past – even to a size up to 3.5 Mio users.
and all what this post is saying is that Microsoft has shown over the past 15 years with differrent Services successful -hosted services (even before someone was talking about cloud.)
Hotmail is up and running since 15 years and serving 480 Mio users, WIndows Update Services is up and running and serving and serving millions of PC
Microsoft is a newby and a new player in hosting services and cloud services.
in France, we have the national telecom operator with 700.000 mailboxes for professional customers. all is running on linux debian.
I have worked with Microsoft and Avanade to make all of this running on Windows and Exchange, already in a Hosted Envrionment. It does not work vey well.
http.sys crash…. The project is managed directly by Microsoft.EMEA.
For information, there are migrating to MOS.
It is worst.
IT is not just make click click for installing Windows Server and AD and Exchange. Make it work fast and robust. Give me what I pay for. MS Infrastructure is not very expansive but it is appropriate only for middle size business.
before deleting my post,
contact me on private email and I will explain to you why MS is a joker in the hosting business. Exchange do not scale for millions mailboxes. why ?
Because Microsoft is not able do design such softwares.

V. Klitschko Expects Competitive Mormeck With Wladimir
By Ruslan Chikov
WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (56-3, 49KOs) feels his younger brother's upcoming fight will be competitive. WBO/WBA/IBO/IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko will defend his belt against former cruiserweight champion Jean Marc Mormeck (36-4, 22KOs) on March 3rd in Germany. The bout was going to happen earlier this month, but Wladimir was forced to postpone after undergoing an emergency surgery to remove a kidney stone. The critics have attacked the fight, calling the fight a very bad "mismatch."
"The Frenchman is a very experienced fighter, and he clearly has the potential to challenge for the championship belt. So it is interesting to me. But we'll see what the end result is going to be between Mormeck and Wladimir. Let me remind you, the fight is not canceled and rescheduled for March 3. And I am pleased that the Frenchman reacted well and understood the situation where my brother had to seek the help of doctors. Of course Jean Marc and Wladimir were very upset with postponing their fight. After all, great efforts were spent on training. As far as I know, both of them are coming to the ring in perfect shape and we're going to certainly have [an] exciting [fight]. But whatever happened has happened and now we have to wait until March," vitali said.
[QUOTE=jisi;11604813]Wladimir should cancel the Mormeck fight and should fight his mandatory Thompson next. Mormeck is a usless fight. Wlad will KO Mormeck no doubt about it.[/QUOTE] I agree.

First Chapter
A Mathematician Plays the Stock Market
By JOHN ALLEN PAULOS
Published: November 2, 2003
It was early 2000, the market was booming, and my investments in various index funds were doing well but not generating much excitement. Why investments should generate excitement is another issue, but it seemed that many people were genuinely enjoying the active management of their portfolios. So when I received a small and totally unexpected chunk of money, I placed it into what Richard Thaler, a behavioral economist I'll return to later, calls a separate mental account. I considered it, in effect, "mad money."
Nothing distinguished the money from other assets of mine except this private designation, but being so classified made my modest windfall more vulnerable to whim. In this case it entrained a series of ill-fated investment decisions that, even now, are excruciating to recall. The psychological ease with which such funds tend to be spent was no doubt a factor in my using the unexpected money to buy some shares of WorldCom (abbreviated WCOM), "the pre-eminent global communications company for the digital generation," as its ads boasted, at $47 per share. (Hereafter I'll generally use WCOM to refer to the stock and WorldCom to refer to the company.) Today, of course, WorldCom is synonymous with business fraud, but in the halcyon late 1990s it seemed an irrepressibly successful devourer of high-tech telecommunications companies. Bernie Ebbers, the founder and former CEO, is now viewed by many as a pirate, but then he was seen as a swashbuckler. I had read about the company, knew that high-tech guru George Gilder had been long and fervently singing its praises, and was aware that among its holdings were MCI, the huge long-distance telephone company, and UUNet, the "backbone" of the Internet. I spend a lot of time on the net (home is where you hang your @) so I found Gilder's lyrical writings on the "telecosm" and the glories of unlimited bandwidth particularly seductive.
I also knew that, unlike most dot-com companies with no money coming in and few customers, WorldCom had more than $25 billion in revenues and almost 25 million customers, and so when several people I knew told me that WorldCom was a "strong buy," I was receptive to their suggestion. Although the stock had recently fallen a little in price, it was, I was assured, likely to soon surpass its previous high of $64.
If this was all there was to it, there would have been no important financial consequences for me, and I wouldn't be writing about the investment now. Alas, there was something else, or rather a whole series of "something elses." After buying the shares, I found myself idly wondering, why not buy more? I don't think of myself as a gambler, but I willed myself not to think, willed myself simply to act, willed myself to buy more shares of WCOM, shares that cost considerably more than the few I'd already bought. Nor were these the last shares I would buy. Usually a hardheaded fellow, I was nevertheless falling disastrously in love.
Although my particular heartthrob was WCOM, almost all of what I will say about my experience is unfortunately applicable to many other stocks and many other investors. Wherever WCOM appears, you may wish to substitute the symbols for Lucent, Tyco, Intel, Yahoo, AOL-Time Warner, Global Crossing, Enron, Adelphia, or, perhaps, the generic symbols WOE or BANE. The time flame of the book-in the midst of a market collapse after a heady, nearly decade-long surge-may also appear rather more specific and constraining than it is. Almost all the points made herein are rather general or can be generalized with a little common sense.
Falling in Love with WorldCom
John Maynard Keynes, arguably the greatest economist of the twentieth century, likened the position of short-term investors in a stock market to that of readers in a newspaper beauty contest (popular in his day). The ostensible task of the readers is to pick the five prettiest out of, say, one hundred contestants, but their real job is more complicated. The reason is that the newspaper rewards them with small prizes only if they pick the five contestants who receive the most votes from readers. That is, they must pick the contestants that they think are most likely to be picked by the other readers, and the other readers must try to do the same. They're not to become enamored of any of the contestants or otherwise give undue weight to their own taste. Rather they must, in Keynes' words, anticipate "what average opinion expects the average opinion to be" (or, worse, anticipate what the average opinion expects the average opinion expects the average opinion to be).
Thus it may be that, as in politics, the golden touch derives oddly from being in tune with the brass masses. People might dismiss rumors, for example, about "Enronitis" or "WorldComism" affecting the companies in which they've invested, but if they believe others will believe the rumors, they can't afford to ignore them.
BWC (before WorldCom) such social calculations never interested me much. I didn't find the market particularly inspiring or exalted and viewed it simply as a way to trade shares in businesses. Studying the market wasn't nearly as engaging as doing mathematics or philosophy or watching the Comedy Network. Thus, taking Keynes literally and not having much confidence in my judgment of popular taste, I refrained from investing in individual stocks. In addition, I believed that stock movements were entirely random and that trying to outsmart dice was a fool's errand. The bulk of my money therefore went into broad-gauge stock index funds.

A production of his 1975 American Buffalo closed in New York last month after just a week and one of the producers says Mamet's lack of enthusiasm was a factor. "In my 30-year career, I have never met a playwright who had so little to do with his play," says Ben Sprecher.
Rumours abound that Mamet's apparent disregard is because royalties from the play allegedly go to his former wife, Lindsay Crouse, as part of their divorce settlement.

The state and federal governments provide Monroe County with few of the resources needed to adequately cope with rapid population growth, local officials told a state civil rights panel Monday.
Use of outdated 1990 population figures has resulted in the county receiving less state aid than they should be getting, based on student growth since then, the county commissioner's chief clerk, Robert Gress, told the State Advisory Committee to the U.S. Civil Rights Commission.
"We get short-changed and it really hurts,," added Ray Guernsey of the Monroe County Redevelopment Authority.
The committee took testimony during its meeting at the Monroe County Administrative Center.
Guernsey and Linda Kaufmann of the Monroe County Housing Authority said housing policy hurts too. They pointed to New York City's policy of reducing public housing, yet issuing vouchers to low-income recipients who bring their vouchers to Monroe County in an effort to get subsidized housing here. That influx prevents the county from reducing a backlog of 1,100 county residents waiting for subsidized housing, since New Yorkers with the vouchers, by law, take priority.
There will be more on the civil rights forum in Tuesday's Pocono Record.

Skill Level Beginner
If you've watched Foundations of Photography: Exposure, then you know that in photographic terms, exposure is a measure of the brightness of light, and you know that on your camera you control how much light is captured by altering shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. Through careful choice of how you alter these parameters, you can not only control the overall brightness in a scene, but how deep the focus is, whether motion is frozen or blurry, and more. Exposure compensation is a control that lets you adjust exposure to alter overall brightness without control of any specific parameter.
So for example, you can use your camera's exposure compensation control to specify a one-stop brightening of a scene. Your camera will automatically adjust shutter speed and aperture, and possibly ISO, to get that one stop of additional brightness, but you won't know which parameter it's changing or how much, to get this alteration. Now, why would you be willing to give up control over those specific parameters? Because a lot of times you don't have any particular depth- of-field or motion-stopping goals in mind; you simply won't go to overall brightness. Also, a one- or two-stop difference usually is not going to make a huge difference in motion stopping or depth of field, but it might make a huge difference in brightness.
So exposure compensation gives you a really quick way to brighten or darken an image without having to think about specific parameters. It gives you a quick fix for backlight situations, shooting at dusk, restoring tone to dark objects, and many, many other situations, which are all explained in Foundations of Photography: Exposure. To dial in exposure compensation, you just press the Exposure Compensation button and then turn the main command dial. So here's a third of a stop of overexposure, two-thirds of a stop, one stop. I can also go the other direction: minus a third, minus two-thirds, minus one.
I can go out here all the way to five stops in either direction. And after I've dialed in some exposure compensation-- let's put on something a little more reasonable, like two-thirds of a stop-- I can half-press my Shutter button and now I'm back to here. And this gauge is showing me how much exposure compensation I've got. Each little tick mark right now represents a third of a stop. So you can see that I've two-thirds of a stop of positive exposure compensation. Now, this scale only goes up three stops, so if I've dialed in farther than that, what I'm going to see is it's going to fill up, and you can see there is an arrow pointing that way, indicating that I've got more exposure compensation than you can see here on the scale.
If I go the other direction, it looks like this. You can also see that this is flashing to indicate that I have exposure compensation dialed in. This is simply to give me a little reminder that it's there. Exposure compensation is a sticky control, so notice that there are two stops of positive exposure compensation. My meter is going to time out in a minute. There it goes. Next time I re-meter it's still there. So once you've dialed that in, it's important to remember that it's still there. You can change this behavior, as we'll see later.
There is a custom function that lets you turn that off. I'm going to just turn that off right now, before I forget. If you prefer, there is a change you can make to the behavior of the exposure compensation readout. When it's dialed in, positive is to the right, negative is to the left. Not all Nikon cameras have always worked this way, so if you are not used to that, you may want to reverse that indicator, and you can do that here by going to the F category of your Custom Settings menu, all the way down here to number 12: Reverse indicators.
You can see right now it's showing positive here and negative here. I can choose to make it the other direction. By default though, you'll be set with plus on the right and minus on the left. Exposure compensation is probably the most common exposure control you're going to use on your camera, so you want to be sure that you can get to it by feel. And as you'll see in the custom function chapter it's possible to make--to configure your camera so that you don't have to press this button, so that your subcommand dial gives you exposure compensation. So if you'd prefer that type of interface, you'll want to look up that change.

"1. Delete the blog from the root directory and restore your normal web site.
2. Install the blog in a sub-directory and attach that sub-directory with a sub-domain.
- For instructions to delete your WordPress blog from the root directory, please visit: http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/webhosting/wordpress/wordpress-25.html
- To reinstall WordPress, please visit:
Here, in step 2, uncheck the box "Make my blog my home page"."
C. Did all that. The Blog Manager on Yahoo initializes a new blog and does not recognize the old one.
For now, I have two folders on the server with my "real" blog (/oldblog) and my new one (/blog). I cannot despite best efforts get WP to recognize my real blog.
Where did I err?

I have created a website that is at http://www.websiteurl.com/wp. When I go to that address I can see the website fine. When you type in http://www.websiteurl.com it does not work. I get a database error.
I have tried am "All Public Domain" redirect.
I've added some code to the .htaccess.
None of this is working. I've done this many times before but for some reason this one has decided to be difficult.
