The murder of Judge Hugo Jackson is out of Detective Simon Ziele's jurisdiction in more ways than one. For one, it's high-profile enough to command the attention of the notorious new police commissioner, since Judge Jackson was presiding over the sensational trial of Al Drayson. Drayson, an anarchist, set off a bomb at a Carnegie family wedding, but instead of killing millionaires, it killed passersby, including a child. The dramatic trial has captured the full attention of 1906 New York City.
Furthermore, Simon's assigned precinct on Manhattan's West Side includes the gritty Tenderloin but not the tonier Gramercy Park, which is where the judge is found in his locked town house with his throat slashed on the night before the jury is set to deliberate. But his widow insists on calling her husband's old classmate criminologist, Alistair Sinclair, who in turn enlists Ziele's help. Together they must steer Sinclair's unorthodox methods past a police force that is so focused on rounding up Drayson's supporters that they've all but rejected any other possibilities.
Once again, Stefanie Pintoff's combination of vital characters and a fascinating case set amongst the sometimes brutal and sometimes glittering history of turn-of-the-century New York makes for totally compelling reading in Secret of the White Rose, the third novel in her Edgar Award–winning series.

Didn't read HP or see many of the movies, so there's no HP connection for me.
Having said that, I don't really like the name at all. Nevil is slightly better. But then you are looking right at N-Evil.

HP is the first thing that comes to mind, but I don't think that's a bad connection - Neville is a strong, funny, courageous character. I think it'd be an interesting name to have, but like you said - there aren't too many nickname options.That wouldn't bother me too much, but if it does for you, maybe it would be better suited to a middle spot.[FONT=Book Antiqua][B]Mummy to two little princes born 16/1/14[/B] :D

"We're supposed to keep evolving. Evolution did not end with us growing opposable thumbs"*…
The CEO of Enron – now in prison – happily applied 'selfish gene' logic to his human capital, thus creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. Assuming that the human species is driven purely by greed and fear, Jeffrey Skilling produced employees driven by the same motives. Enron imploded under the mean-spirited weight of his policies, offering a preview of what was in store for the world economy as a whole…
Frans de Waal on the flaws in the "competition-is-good-for-you" logic: "How Bad Biology is Killing the Economy."
As we concentrate on cooperation, we might spare a thought for Martin Gardner; he died on this date in 2010. Though not an academic, nor ever a formal student of math or science, he wrote widely and prolifically on both subjects in such popular books as The Ambidextrous Universe and The Relativity Explosion and as the "Mathematical Games" columnist for Scientific American. Indeed, his elegant– and understandable– puzzles delighted professional and amateur readers alike, and helped inspire a generation of young mathematicians.
Gardner's interests were wide; in addition to the math and science that were his power alley, he studied and wrote on topics that included magic, philosophy, religion, and literature (c.f., especially his work on Lewis Carroll– including the delightful Annotated Alice— and on G.K. Chesterton). And he was a fierce debunker of pseudoscience: a founding member of CSICOP, and contributor of a monthly column ("Notes of a Fringe Watcher," from 1983 to 2002) in Skeptical Inquirer, that organization's monthly magazine.
"This is the first age that's ever paid much attention to the future, which is a little ironic since we may not have one"*…
Starting tomorrow, the U.S. National Weather Service will discontinue its historical practice of issuing all of its weather bulletins in ALL CAPS. The agency has been sending out its forecasts with caps lock on for more than 150 years, since the advent of the telegraph. Successive generations of teleprinters used only capital letters; but with the advent of the internet, all caps came to have the affect of a siren.
From tomorrow, all caps will be reserved for actual weather emergencies warranting them.

As we reach for our umbrellas, we might recall that it was on this date in 1925 that John T. Scopes was given a preliminary hearing before three judges. He had been arrested and charged under a new Tennessee state law, the Butler Act, which prohibited the teaching of Darwin's theory of evolution in public schools. The judicial panel greenlit what became Scopes vs. The State of Tennessee (aka "the Scopes Monkey Trial").
Tennessee legislators had responded to the urgings of William Bell Riley, head of the World's Christian Fundamentals Association, and passed a law prohibiting the teaching of evolution (the Butler Act); in response, The American Civil Liberties Union offered to defend anyone accused of violating the Act. George Rappleyea, who managed several local mines, convinced a group of businessmen in Dayton, Tennessee, a town of 1,756, that the controversy of such a trial would give Dayton some much needed publicity. With their agreement, he called in his friend, the 24-year-old Scopes, who taught biology in the local high school– and who agreed to be the test case.
The rest is celebrity-filled history, and star-studded drama.
"Reality leaves a lot to the imagination"*…
Donald D. Hoffman, a professor of cognitive science at the University of California, Irvine. Hoffman has spent the past three decades studying perception, artificial intelligence, evolutionary game theory and the brain, and his conclusion is a dramatic one: The world presented to us by our perceptions is nothing like reality. What's more, he says, we have evolution itself to thank for this magnificent illusion, as it maximizes evolutionary fitness by driving truth to extinction…

As we question everything, we might recall that it was on this date in 1810 that Beethoven wrote Bagatelle No. 25 in A minor (WoO 59 and Bia 515) for solo piano– better known as "Für Elise" (click to hear).
Some scholars have suggested that "Elise" was Beethoven's mistress; but others have suggested that the discoverer of the piece, Ludwig Nohl, may have have misunderstood the Master's handwriting, and transcribed the title incorrectly, that the original work may have been named "Für Therese"– Therese being Therese Malfatti von Rohrenbach zu Dezza, a friend and student of Beethoven's to whom he proposed in 1810… though she turned him down to marry the Austrian nobleman and state official Wilhelm von Droßdik. Today, Therese is forgotten; Elise, celebrated. In any case, it's a beautiful piece…
"Cloning is great. If God made the original, then making copies should be fine."*…
Every new step in the direction of simplification – toward monoculture, say, ore genetically identical plants – leads to unimaginable new complexities…"
― Michael Pollan
In any case,
Animal cloning has been around for nearly 20 years, but has mostly been done for the sake of research. Now, a new commercial venture in Tianjin, China, plans to clone 100,000 beef cattle a year for meat production beginning in the first half of 2016.
The enterprise, made up of several academic and commercial organizations with financial support from the Chinese government, has the ultimate goal of ramping up production to a million cow embryos a year…

As we ruminate on reproduction, we might send biological birthday greetings to Erasmus Darwin; he was born on this date in 1731. Erasmus was an accomplished doctor (he declined an offer to be personal physician to Charles III), but is better remembered as a key thinker in the "Midlands Enlightenment"– a founder of the Lunar Society of Birmingham and author of (among other works) Zoonomia, or, The Laws of Organic Life, which contained one of the first formal theories of evolution… one that foreshadowed the theories of Erasmus' reader– and grandson– Charles… all of which may soon seem quaint.
"Every technology, every science that tells us more about ourselves, is scary at the time"*…
Further to last weekend's visit with Silicon Valley's security robots...
Researchers led by the University of Cambridge have built a mother robot that can independently build its own children and test which one does best; and then use the results to inform the design of the next generation, so that preferential traits are passed down from one generation to the next.
Without any human intervention or computer simulation beyond the initial command to build a robot capable of movement, the mother created children constructed of between one and five plastic cubes with a small motor inside.
In each of five separate experiments, the mother designed, built and tested generations of ten children, using the information gathered from one generation to inform the design of the next. The results, reported in the open access journal PLOS One, found that preferential traits were passed down through generations, so that the 'fittest' individuals in the last generation performed a set task twice as quickly as the fittest individuals in the first generation…

"Natural selection is basically reproduction, assessment, reproduction, assessment and so on," said lead researcher Dr Fumiya Iida of Cambridge's Department of Engineering, who worked in collaboration with researchers at ETH Zurich. "That's essentially what this robot is doing – we can actually watch the improvement and diversification of the species… We want to see robots that are capable of innovation and creativity…"

As we select naturally, we might spare a thought for Blaise Pascal; he died on this date in 1662. A French mathematician, physicist, theologian, and inventor (e.g.,the first digital calculator, the barometer, the hydraulic press, and the syringe), his commitment to empiricism ("experiments are the true teachers which one must follow in physics") pitted him against his contemporary René "cogito, ergo sum" Descartes…

As we go spelunking, we might send crusty birthday greetings to Adam Sedgwick; he was born on this date in 1785. One of the founders of modern geology, he proposed both the the Devonian and the Cambrian periods of the geological timescale. Sedgwick was a fierce critic of the theory of evolution when it appeared, calling it ""utterly false… from first to last it is a dish of rank materialism cleverly cooked and served up"; nonetheless, he and Charles Darwin (one of Sedgwick's students at Cambridge) were friends until Sedgwick's death in 1873.
"Intoxicated? The word did not express it by a mile. He was oiled, boiled, fried, plastered, whiffled, sozzled, and blotto"*…
The expanded fifth edition of Glaswegian surgeon Robert Macnish's The Anatomy of Drunkenness (1834) examines inebriety from a wide range of angles. Though alcohol is the main focus, he also explores the use of opium (popular at the time), tobacco, nitrous oxide, and of various (real or reputed) "poisons," like hemlock, "bangue" (cannabis), foxglove, and nightshade. Macnish's examination includes wonderful descriptions of the different kinds of drunk according to alcohol type, methods for cutting drunkenness short, and an outlining of the seven different types of drunkard (Sanguineous, Melancholy, Surly, Phlegmatic, Nervous, Choleric and Periodical).
The seventh chapter of the book examines the phenomenon of "spontaneous combustion" which, Macnish reports, tends to strike drunkards in particular.

As we ask for a club soda, we might consider just how far we have– and haven't– come, as it was on this date in 1859 that Charles Darwin published The Origin of the Species. Actually, on that day he published On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life; the title was shortened to the one we know with the sixth edition in 1872.

Very much enjoyed our stay, will be returning.
A quick weekend getaway landed us here. Nice rooms, nice folks, beautiful wood work. But don't stay out late, or you'll have to sneak in thru the secret passage. Very interesting history lesson too
Beautiful old mansion within walking distance of CMU and Shadyside.
This peaceful setting, with angelic hostesses, immaculate rooms, and divine breakfasts will leave you totally satisfied. We will definitely stay here again when in the area.
We had a wonderful overnight stay in the most beautiful room with true most amazing bathroom. The hostess was very welcoming and kind. Breakfast was delicious. The area was perfect.
I was only able to stay one night, but loved this B&B. You can easily walk to dinner and Crystal is most helpful in giving restaurant suggestions. The mansion is stunning. Breakfast was ordinary, but certainly adequate. I hope to stay here again.
Awesome bAthroom
Crystal was so accommodating to our late night check-in following our wedding reception - she was so excited to give us a tour of the mansion when we arrived! The morning was peaceful and sunny as we enjoyed our breakfast prepared for us downstairs and then sat with our coffee out on the back porch. We loved our stay!
I've stayed at the Mansion at Maple Heights on previous occasions and was pleased with my experience. Stay in the Keefer Room (#5), and was taken care of my the staff. The grounds are lovely and have a great combination of old world and modern amenities. Looking forward to my next trip to Pittsburgh!
I find this inn both comforting and comfortable, and have returned many times over the last few years. They are very generous with food- you never leave hungry in the morning. The beds are so comfortable and the silence so complete that I sleep better here than at home. If you need to unwind in the evening, the living room is a great place to lounge with an ipad or book. I highly recommend this bed and breakfast.
Friendly staff and great atmosphere!
Everything about the Mansion is spot on! We were greeted by Crystal , a host who is very warm and energetic. She gave a tour of the beautiful downstairs , including some history and showing us the prohibition area hidden cubbyholes. The rooms are exceptionally clean and modern, the bathrooms also (very key.) Breakfast was delicious : a nice full breakfast cooked to order by the owner himself. I have stayed in many B&Bs and hotels; the Mansion has soared to being my favorite! There was no dinner on site. Crystal gave us recommendations for the area
While doing a college visit at a nearby campus, we found this jewel while doing some research. It's a lovely old house, and it's great to see an entrepreneur doing something with it. Breakfast was great, the rooms were clean, the staff friendly, and besides staying in a really cool old mansion, we were close to everything Pitt has to offer!
Love the Mansion at Maple Heights! Beautiful and vintage looking but modernized and CLEAN! The people who work there are very nice. The breakfast took a loooong time to come out and was cold and not enough food, that's my only complaint! Thanks for a great stay! I would definitely come back!
Better pricing than the Hotels in the area. Such a beautiful place to stay, everyone was very friendly and helpful. We will be back.
Great historical facility with a view overlooking the area of Pittsburg. Friendly staff and gourmet breakfast selection. Make sure you get a tour of the Mansion and its history.
We were very pleased with our stay here. The building is unusually beautiful with striking architectural features. Breakfast was yummy.
Very nice large place. The room was huge as well as the bath. Employees are very attentive and did anything asked. With a little refining this place could be outstanding in every aspect.
The suite was outstanding, especially the master bath. I highly recommend staying here.
We had a wonderful stay at the Mansion. The rooms were tastefully decorated, clean and well maintained. The staff and owner were very accommodating. We will gladly stay again in the future. Thanks for the warm hospitality!
This must be at least my fourth stay at the Mansion and it doesn't disappoint. The room was comfortable and the breakfast is amazing. Shawn has added Chef duties to his managerial ones! They always take care of you here. Nothing is too much. And when I realized before turning in for the night I had really hurt my knee, their wonderful overnight manager bright me an icepack. It's a beautiful location and worth taking the time to enjoy the library. Looking forward to my next visit. Thank you! Susanne W
The Robertshaw Country House was spotlessly clean and beautifically decorated. Christmas decorations were everywhere in the common areas and inside the large and well appointed rooms. Sister Renata was a most gracious hostess and went out of her way to make us feel welcome. Although the property was about 80 years old, it had all of the modern conveniences today's travelers have come to expect. The property and its country setting are beautiful and very quiet. We greatly enjoyed our visit.
The Robertshaw truly exceeds expectations in all categories. Definitely worth the stay.
The room was lovely and comfortable except for the lack of chairs for two and a good reading light. This is really important for people who do not watch much TV but do enjoy reading in the evening. A chair is so much more comfortable than being propped up on the bed
Robertshaw B&B is delightful. It is so quiet and relaxing that I find myself wanting to stay there for a much longer time. The rooms are beautiful. Each room has a fireplace which makes the room and cozy on cool Fall evenings.

Employment Issues in Government Contracting
In recent years, employment and labor-related laws affecting government contractors (and oversight and enforcement of these laws) have expanded and changed the regulatory and enforcement landscape. Wiley Rein's Government Contracts Practice regularly counsels and represents clients regarding non-discrimination and affirmative action requirements of the Department of Labor's (DOL) Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), as well as contractor requirements and investigations that arise under the Service Contract Act (SCA), the Davis Bacon Act (DBA), and Davis Bacon and Related Act (DBRA). In addition, we routinely advise federal contractors regarding traditional employment issues, such as compliance with DOL wage and hour laws under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), covenants not to compete relating to current and prospective employees, the differences between an "employee" and an "independent contractor," and discrimination and sexual harassment allegations and investigations.
Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Program
Our attorneys regularly counsel clients on the non-discrimination and affirmative action requirements of the DOL OFCCP, including Executive Order 11246, Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, involving individuals with disabilities, and the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended. We advise clients on the creation and review of affirmative action plans and compliance policies, as well as preparation for OFCCP compliance reviews and preventive audits.
In addition, we often represent clients during investigations by other DOL agencies, such as the Wage and Hour Division and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Recent DOL OFCCP engagements include:
- Successfully represented contractors in connection with OFCCP compliance reviews, responded to OFCCP inquiries, and negotiated conciliation agreements.
- Responded on behalf of contractor to OFCCP complaint of disability discrimination and retaliation under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act.
- Presented analysis and summaries to clients on OFCCP's recent final rules amending Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974.
Service Contract Act
Compliance with the wage and fringe benefit payment and related obligations under the SCA is a key concern for service contractors. Non-compliance with the SCA can lead to substantial back wage or fringe benefit liabilities, contract termination, or debarment from federal contracting. Wiley Rein attorneys regularly provide guidance and representation on a wide range of SCA issues, as well as wage and hour requirements, pension contribution issues, and the employment matters that arise when a contract is transitioned from one federal contractor to another. Wiley Rein attorneys also counsel clients on their obligations under the DOL and Federal Acquisition Regulation Nondisplacement rules, which require contractors to offer jobs to many SCA-covered employees of their predecessor contractors.
Recent representative SCA experience includes:
- Prepared successful petitions on behalf of six different large service contractors seeking approval of use of a self-funded insurance plan as a bona fide fringe benefit under the SCA.
- Conducted a comprehensive SCA compliance audit of a business unit with more than $1 billion in service contracts and prepared report summarizing findings and recommendations to mitigate SCA compliance risk.
- Assisted a prime contractor with investigation and remediation of subcontractor failure to provide the required minimum level of fringe benefits under the SCA.
- Represented division of large federal service contractor in responding to DOL Wage & Hour Division SCA audit of multi-billion dollar service contract.
- Assessed DOL audit findings and assisted with negotiation of settlement of labor category misclassification allegations under multi-million dollar service contract.
Davis Bacon Act
The DBA and DBRA apply to a wide range of federally-funded construction projects, and the DOL aggressively monitors and enforces compliance with these laws. Our attorneys have performed internal reviews to determine contractor and subcontractor compliance with DBA/DBRA requirements and regularly assist contractors on DOL DBA/DBRA audit matters, including DOL audits arising under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), which incorporates DBA requirements.
Recent DBA engagements include:
- Performed an internal compliance review to assess subcontractor compliance with the DBA on a multi-million dollar ARRA-funded project.
- Successfully resolved DOL DBA audit of subcontractor labor category classification arising under multi-million dollar ARRA-funded grant.
- Assisted client in facilitating retroactive DBA back wage payments to subcontractor employees.
- Counseled client on application of public utility exception to DBA coverage to non-ARRA funded project.
Covenants Not to Compete
Our practice often provides contractors counsel and representation regarding covenants not to compete, including non-competition and non-solicitation provisions. We advise clients in analyzing the interplay between covenants not to compete and the Nondisplacement Rule and on how to narrowly draft scope and duration provisions to address unique requirements for government contractors. In addition, we provide representation in enforcement of these provisions to ensure that former employees and prospective employers understand the requirements of the covenants not to compete. For example, we recently secured a temporary restraining order in federal district court in Virginia against a former employee of our client that violated his non-compete obligations and helped to secure a contract award for a competitor.
Fair Labor Standards Act and Employment Investigations
The FLSA governs wage and hour requirements for employers and establishes standards to define who is exempt from the minimum wage and overtime requirements of the law. The FLSA also raises unique issues for service contractors given SCA prevailing wage requirements. Our practice is adept at counseling clients on FLSA compliance issues and creating company policies and procedures to minimize the risk of potential litigation. We assist employers in conducting wage and hour self-audits and have successfully resolved several national collective action wage and hour disputes.
In addition, we have conducted hundreds of time-charging, discrimination, and sexual harassment investigations for both large and small government contractors. Wiley Rein attorneys also have significant experience defending employers before federal and state courts and agencies, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) with respect to claims involving employment discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, and breach of express or implied employment contracts.

Taking part in a national "listening tour" conducted by the Environment Protection Agency (EPA), the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) today urged states to turn to solar energy to help meet new carbon pollution targets.
You are here
SEIA is the solar energy industry's go-to source for the latest coverage on solar power, including U.S. and international policy, research and polls, business and financing trends, and more. Our staff strives to support the media covering solar energy issues and guide our members on effective media outreach with clear statements, background materials, news and multimedia resources.
SEIA is committed to informing policymakers, the media, and the American public about the benefits of solar energy for today's communities, our economy, and our country.
Learn more from our statements and industry news below.
Questions Raised About APS Move Into Rooftop Solar
In a move condemned by many solar companies in Arizona, the state's largest utility, APS, has announced that it will begin installing rooftop solar on customers' homes. After learning of the news, Ken Johnson, vice president of communications for the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), issued the following statement:
SEIA Calls for Changes to BLM Permitting Process
In testimony on Capitol Hill, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) today supported reforms of the permitting process for energy production on federal lands.
SolarCity Raises $201.5 Million in Bonds Backed by Panels
SolarCity Corp. (SCTY), the first U.S. company to offer bonds backed by rooftop solar panels, raised $201.5 million in its third debt offering in eight months.
The senior notes were sold at an interest rate of 4.03 percent and were rated BBB+ by Standard & Poor's, the third-lowest investment grade. The junior notes were sold at an interest rate of 5.45 percent and were rated BB, which is not investment grade. Both tranches mature in July 2022.
Solar Software Tools Slashing Soft Costs
It's estimated installers spend up to $3,000 to acquire each new customer. This high price of customer acquisition is one of the many so called "soft costs" that increase the price of solar and reduce installer margins. Every step along the road to a signed contract has inefficiencies, which is spurring new software solutions to help installers increase their sales volume and close deals faster.
Ikea turns on Maryland's largest rooftop solar power system
Home furniture retailer Ikea has activated what it says is the largest rooftop solar array in Maryland at its distribution center in Perryville.
Colorado bill moves on to up renewable energy usage for co-ops
The Colorado Senate — over the strong objections of rural Republican lawmakers — passed a bill Monday increasing the amount of renewable energy that rural electricity cooperatives must use.
Philadelphia Eagles green: Lincoln Financial Field generating energy with solar panels, turbines
The stats are electrifying: On a recent sunny day, this bulky unit churned out 21,033.7 kilowatt hours, nearly enough to power two average homes for a year.
Report: Solar Scores Big Gains in Electricity Generation
Despite the buzz surrounding natural gas and its increased role in electricity generation, solar seems to be increasingly stealing the spotlight from the newly famous fossil fuel.
Solar Energy Takes Over the Grid
Solar energy accounted for 100% of new power generation built in the U.S. in the month of March.

The Calvert Lady Trojans took a page out of an old John Travolta movie this past week. They are doing their best to do a Bee Gee's number and just "stayin alive" in what has proven to be a tough district race. So far they have managed to hang in there as they have reached the midpoint of the season with a 4-2 record in the 1st half of district play. They have survived injuries, grades, and departures, to forge ahead and maintain contact with the teams at the top of the district. That never say die attitude came into play this week as they gained a split in two key district games. It is a testament to their resiliency as a team this season.
By Michael Cotton
The Junior High Lady Eagles were also on top of their game as the 8th grade girls placed 3rd in the tournament. They also showed that strong competitive spirit playing well throughout the tournament. Seventh grade Lady Eagles Basketball Team: Pharon Joshua, Dajah Castilleja, Endia Chopp, Tra'Zhoria Miller, Coach Moore, Monet Robinson, Arianna Vega, Natosha Mendoza, Breonna Bryant, Coach Lenoir, Ashanti Ford.

For 18 NFL teams the season has drawn to a close. It was a rough season for a few teams with now the only highlight is Draft Day 2016 and a look at next year. For 12 teams it is a brand new season. For teams like the Houston Texans who started four quarterbacks in 2015 the road to the playoffs has been filled with emotional ups and downs from fans and players.
Looking at their record, the Oakwood Panthers wouldn't seem to be a likely contender for the district championship. However don't be fooled by that. They are actually a very good basketball team. They are averaging over 55 points a game and have been in almost every one of their 15 games. They are 1-0 in district play after a 90-20 victory over Richards before the holiday break.
It hasn't been the start to the season that Coach Andrew Dailey had hoped for but his Hearne Eagles basketball team is learning to fly. Their game on both ends of the court has steadily shown improvement. The eagles are beginning to develop a level of play that could make them a factor as the district race unfolds.
For the Trojans of Calvert, basketball is equally divided into 3 seasons. First there's non-district play, which starts around the 15 of November. The Trojans are typically not involved in this part of basketball season. They're usually busy trying to win a football State Championship and since most of the basketball team comes from the football squad, it seems to reason, why they are late getting started. So typically the Trojans miss out on most of the non-district part of their season.
The Calvert Trojans are accustomed to winning in basketball. Along with the Mumford Mustangs they are the most successful basketball program in the county. They have made 4 State Tournament appearances, made the State Finals twice, and won a State Championship in 2012. So winning comes naturally, if you are a basketball player in Calvert. Last season they lost in the State Semifinals to Grady 76-75 or they would have made it back to the Finals again.

Various Artists
Not many do-gooder projects associated with pop music are as artistically successful as this 15-track album packaged to benefit the Romanian Angel Appeal, a charity formed to aid orphans left destitute by the political upheaval in Romania.
Organized by Barbara Bach, Olivia (Mrs. George) Harrison, Elton John, Linda McCartney and Yoko Ono, the album includes a few songs recycled from other records. But most of its tunes were either recorded expressly for the album or were previously unavailable on record—and more than a couple of them are memorable.
That certainly applies to the Paul Simon-George Harrison vocal duet on Simon's "Homeward Bound," an air check from a 1976 broadcast of Saturday Night Live. Equally appealing are Stevie Wonder's evocative "Feeding Off the Love of the Land," which he sings with only his piano as accompaniment, "Civil War" by Guns n' Roses, Elton John's "Medicine Man," "Big Day Little Boat" by Edie Brickell & New Bohemians and "Ain't That Peculiar," a variation on the Smokey Robinson hit performed by Mike + the Mechanics with Paul Shaffer and his band from a Late Night with David Letterman show.
Most of the songs seem more or less related in theme to the cause of the album. While "Ain't That Peculiar" is a stretch in that regard, Eric Clapton's "That Kind of Woman," written by George Harrison, seems way out of place. So does "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?"—though what sets it apart from the rest of the album is not subject but quality. It would sound like a bad parody of the Bee Gees in especially reedy mode, except that it is the Bee Gees in especially reedy mode.
Still, this would be a thoroughly admirable album, even if all net profits weren't going to orphans—and in what sounds like a sensibly oriented project too. Olivia Harrison, who got the other Beatle wives and Elton John together in the first place, notes that the Appeal's first shipment to Romania included mostly basic supplies: "We felt that sending them sophisticated X-ray machines was not our priority when they don't even have toilets. By our standards, what we've done seems so little, but already it has dramatically improved their lives." (The address of the Romanian Angel Appeal is P.O. Box 5966, Playa Del Rey, Calif. 90296.)

I already own NAVB in my wife's traditional IRA. Looking forward to Lymphoseek's launch with Cardinal Health. Looks to be a real winner. A little concern with the revenue sharing they will have to do with Cardinal but Lymphoseek looks to replace the current standard blue dye.
Just bought more at .739 because I decided that 5000 shares was not enough. I not only want to retire on the houses money...I want to fund my grandchildren's education on it. So, now I have 6500 shares. To the guy that plans on selling at $10...you're way to low. When the hep C human trials start in Q4, this thing might already be at $10! Wait till it gets to $100. It might be 5 years but the wait will be worth it.
Lucky enough to get 5000 shares at .60/sh recently. This company is going places so I'm expecting to do the same thing with Inovio that I recentlty did with Amarantus BioScience. Invest a few thousand dollars, double my money, sell enough shares to take out my initial investment and then let the rest ride for several years. This is all in my Roth IRA so it's all tax free when I need it. Hopefully I've got a couple more REGN stock (I own it) clones here and can retire in comfort. Good luck!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I don't see a problem in my Fidelity account. I own both old and new shares. Prior to New Years day they were listed seperately. On New Years morning they were combined and shown as just "AMBS" and they were available to trade all day today. The rest of you are full of misinformation.
Yes you can. I called Fidelity and they said there are no restrictions today on trading any shares! Liar! Liar!
Hi shorty! Your post are full of BS! I just checked my Fidelity account and ALL Shares now show as "AMBS". Funny how fast that converstion thing worked out so fast despite your rantings. I'm buying another 20,000 shares today in your honor.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
You are so right! I pay for "unlimited data" and I'll get "unlimited data". Much better than overpaying for less data at higher price than unlimited. Common sense is not so common these days it appears. Glad that I understand it. Good luck with your future...if you have one:)
This move feels right.
Lost my iPhone 4s over the weekend. Thought about it for a couple of days and decided to pay the early termination fee and dump my verizon for my phone service. I'm tired of paying through the roof for data fees. Raising that fee AGAIN is exactly what verizon did with their family share plans.
I'm going to go buy me a Samsung Galaxy s3 at retail and signup for $35 or $40 per month monthly plan from Sprint and get all the unthrottled 4G data downloards I want with no silly 2 year committment.
As a result of this decision, I also thought I'd sell my verizon stock...which I did on Monday...and invest the proceeds in S...which on did on Tuesday. That move has already payed off! Heck, its already paid for the cost of the Galaxy s3 that I'm going to buy this weekend.
That explains why it's trading up almost $2/share in the pre-market. And just a note in reply to another poster: I know what you mean about the register is always ringing in these stores. They do a brisk business. If only my daughters could find something else to do rather than spending MY money on cosmetics!
I did exactly that! I added to my position at 580.50 in the ah. I love these drops. Did the same thing with CMI,NAV,ETN,JPM,SAN. I love buying on big moves down. The old saying is true: Buy dips...sell the rips!

A painful season ended with a painful loss...but this wasn't really a microcosm of the season. Purdue showed hustle and heart throughout the game. RayDay gave us a little foretaste of what might be to come next year as he moves into the starting line-up, RonJon had a few drives in which he made one of the nation's best on-ball defender look slow and Purdue generally played solid defense. This game was nothing like the Northwestern game that left me with a bad taste in my mouth...but a different bad taste is left since it's the last game of the season and Purdue goes down a loser. Granted, in the modern era, all but a handful of the teams in the nation lose their last ...

This spacious home is a welcoming holiday destination. Nestling in the hills, which dominate the lower part of the Valdarno valley, it was formerly used as a manor house. Its origins date back to the 12th-century when it was originally built as a castle, but over the centuries has undergone modifications and renovations which have resulted in its current layout. As a consequence, some of its old coffered ceilings have been preserved, with trompe l'oeil paintings. The residence benefits from a superb panoramic view over the valley. The area is very peaceful and quiet, given its location at the heart of a partly fenced property with a large park featuring clusters of trees and an Italian garden, ideally suited for taking walks.
