Which T-disc offerings are Kosher?
OU certified
Hi Suomynona, thank you for reaching out! We apologize, but currently we do not have a list of our Kosher products. Since our product brands are constantly growing and changing, it is very difficult to keep an accurate list of Kosher products and we suggest checking our product labels for the appropriate Kosher symbols. We will be sure to share your interest with our Marketing team and appreciate you taking the time to contact us.

Sweet Latte Milk Creamer Sold Alone
Will you ever sell the Sweet Latte Milk Creamer alone, like the foaming Cappuccino milk? I do like a little sweetness in my espresso.
Thank you for asking, and sharing your suggestion with us. A Sweet Latte Milk Creamer T Disc sounds great! I will pass along your suggestion for consideration. Have a nice day!

Today I saw about 15 exotics pass by my school, all lined up like they were filming some sort of action scene. Most of them were Lamborghini Gallardo Spyders (didn't even know they were out yet), but I also saw a few Viper SRT-10's and Corvettes. These kind of cars don't pass by my area very often, if at all, and I heard some people say that they were filming a movie in the Homestead area (near the Homestead/Miami Speedway).

well i did hear that a new miami vice movie was in the works.
Forum Mod at www.automobilediscussion.com
They should be way past done filming that movie though. I believe it comes out in a couple months.
whatever the movie is i hope it is original because i am tired of remakes now.
Forum Mod at www.automobilediscussion.com
You and me both.
i think a new cannon ball run or a new bullitt would be cool but maybe a few years from now.

I doubt it would be Miami Vice if its already coming out....but I just found it wierd that millions of dollars worth of cars are driving around here all of a sudden. Whatever it was, it was a good bit of eye candy (and ear candy, as some of the Lambo drivers were having a litte fun with their cars).

As time goes by, we face more and more skin challenges: everything from the tiny crow's feet on the corners of our eyes to a loss of elasticity. A Birchbox exclusive, this protective kit from Suki has everything you need to restore your visage back to its youthful state. It comes with travel-size versions of suki's Creamy Foaming Cleanser, Concentrated Nourishing Toner, Intensive Nourishing Cream, Pure Facial Moisture, and Intensive Nourishing Masque. Consider it your multi-step cure for all your age-related complexion woes.
Results from suki®'s clinical studies:
• 84% of people saw improvement in their overall skin
• 78% of people saw an increase in skin firmness
• 81% of people saw increase of tone and clarity
I'm overall really happy with this set. The facial oil I'm not really sold on, but I love the rest. I had used a couple of Suki products, all of which are now regulars for me. This kit introduced me to their moisturizer and toner, both of whom have now replaced other items I used before. If you're interested in the Suki brand, I can't recommend this highly enough.4
I love the Suki line of products. This doesn't give you a lot but is a great way to sample some of Suki products if you've never tried the brand. I purchase this for travel, it's the perfect size for short trips. I especially love the foaming cleanser, great scent and gentle on skin.4
I was excited to try more from this line, mainly the cleanser, since I love the exfoliator. Unfortunately, it did do much for my skin. The cleanser doesn't foam and doesn't remove eye makeup. The moisturizer is fine for normal skin but I prefer something a little more emollient. I haven't tried the mask yet so maybe the that will be the redeeming piece of this set.3
I completely love this entire regimen! I just moved from the humid coast to the dry plains, so I needed some balance and hydration in my skincare. The ONLY reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because there were no directions on how to use the products or in what order. I had to go to other websites to find out how long to leave the masque on for (20 min.).The lotion cleanser doesn't feel like a cleanser at all, but it somehow gets all the makeup off. The masque initially has a bit of warmth to it and makes your skin feel a little tight, but after you rinse it off, you follow with the completely refreshing toner. If it's morning, the day lotion hydrates without feeling heavy or making my skin greasy. The night-time hydrating oil is like nothing I've ever used, but I woke up with the softest, clearest skin I've had in a long time.4

"You killed my family, and I don't like that kind of thing."
I forgot about the theft charge while he was in college. But between that, the failed drug test and now a DUI, he sure better hope he lights it up at the combine and does good in the interview process.
I dont know how high or low he is on Reese's and the Giants draft board now. But like I said in another thread, he has the physical skills to be a very good to great player, but his character and off the field issues could make him look like another Kenny Britt type player.
It might be time for me to get on board the Arthur Brown or Kaseem Greene bandwagon---LOL!!
DUI vs hoax girlfriend ? That sounds more like a Jets soap opera. They love that.
I think that settles it. No Ogletree in the 1st but if he slides and available in the 2 nd then I think Reese pulls the trigger.
He has already a drinking problem and hasn't met Coughlin, Fewell and Killdrive yet ? LOL! that's not good. Ha !
Ezekiel Ansah in the first and Ogletree in the second would be perfect

Tattoo ink is placed beneath the top layer of skin. That makes tattoo removal more complicated — and expensive — than the original tattoo application. If you're no longer satisfied with your tattoo, however, tattoo removal might be possible.
Common procedures for tattoo removal include:
If you're interested in tattoo removal, consult your dermatologist about the options. Don't attempt tattoo removal on your own. Do-it-yourself tattoo removal creams and other home treatments aren't likely to be effective and can cause skin irritation or other reactions.
A tummy tuck — also known as abdominoplasty — is a cosmetic surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the abdomen.
During a tummy tuck, excess skin and fat are removed from the abdomen. In most cases, the connective tissues in the abdomen are tightened with sutures as well. The remaining skin is then repositioned to create a more toned look.
You might choose to have a tummy tuck if you have skin that's accumulated around the area of your bellybutton and a weak lower abdominal wall. A tummy tuck can also boost your body image.

Airline becomes the newest Airbus customer and operator
Air Arabia (PJSC), the first and largest low-cost carrier (LCC) in the Middle East and North Africa, has taken delivery of the first of 44 A320s on order, during a delivery ceremony in Hamburg, Germany. Air Arabia becomes the newest operator and customer of directly purchased Airbus aircraft.
Air Arabia's order for 44 A320s (34 placed in 2007 and 10 placed in 2008) will make the carrier one of the region's largest A320 operators and equip the carrier with one of the region's most modern fleets.
"Our aim to become one of the world's leading airlines in terms of profit margin, innovation, reputation, and operational excellence has taken a step closer to reality with today's delivery of our first of 44 Airbus A320 aircraft. As we receive more aircraft, we will expand our network and operations in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa," said Sheikh Abdullah Bin Mohammed Al Thani, Chairman, Air Arabia.
"We are delighted Air Arabia have placed their trust in our A320 and we look forward to working together to achieving their ambitious expansion plans. The A320 is without doubt the leading single aisle product, delivering unbeatable productivity and passenger comfort," said John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer, Customers.
Air Arabia already operates a fleet of 23 leased A320s. From its three main hubs, Sharjah in the UAE, Casablanca in Morocco and Alexandria in Egypt, the carrier serves a network of some 65 international routes from Europe to the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent, Central Asia and North Africa. In 2011, Air Arabia will open a fourth hub in Amman, Jordan.
The A320 Family, which includes the A318, A319, A320 and A321, is recognized as the benchmark single-aisle aircraft family. Over 6,700 Airbus A320 Family aircraft have been sold to more than 300 customers and operators worldwide, and over 4,400 A320 delivered, making it the world's best selling commercial jetliner ever. With proven reliability and extended servicing periods, the A320 Family has the lowest operating costs of any single aisle aircraft. Uniquely, the A320 Family offers a containerized cargo system, which is compatible with the world-wide standard wide-body system.

I didn't pre-order a Microsoft Surface, much to the surprise of many who know me. I wanted to know more information than was available at launch. About a week later I'd heard enough to place an order, and I've now been carrying it around with me for enough time to give an opinion…
OOBE & Setup
Let's start at the beginning. The Surface has some nicely designed packaging, although nothing that I wouldn't expect from a premium product. I especially like it when tape inside packaging has non-stick tabs at end, so you don't have to start digging away at it with your finger nails.
Assuming you login with a Microsoft Account that you've already been using elsewhere, especially if you've linked it to services like Facebook, the Surface starts personalising to you straight away. It's similar to the way Windows Phone works. In addition, if you've been using Windows 8 on another device, it's a doddle to reinstall the same apps from the Windows Store (launch the Store, drag down from the tops of the screen, select Your Apps, choose the ones you want again from the list and hit Install).
One of the first things that I did was install updates as I wanted to get Office up to the final version. As the Office update was an optional update, it isn't offered when you run Windows Update. You actually have to find "Install optional updates" in Settings; if you go to the metro-style Windows Update or "Check for updates" you aren't going to see it. I expect that a lot of people are going to miss optional updates because of this. In fact, as I was typing that, I searched for optional updates on my Win8 desktop and found 2 driver updates that I knew nothing about.
On the subject of updates, it seems to take a lot longer to install updates on the Surface than on any other device I can recall. That's not indicative of the overall performance of the device, which I'm generally happy with.
Touch Cover
I read somewhere that it will take you a couple of days to get used to typing on the Surface's Touch Cover (if you choose that option, like me). It's going to be a very subjective thing, because it matters a lot how you type. I can touch-type pretty quickly, although down to an arthritic condition I prefer keys that don't have much travel. The keys on the Touch Cover have no travel at all, and I found that I was able to type at near-full-speed almost straight away. I haven't had any problems with using the shift or ctrl key combinations at all. The only issue that I occasionally have is missing the space bar.
The fact that the dimensions of the Surface allow for a full-sized keyboard make it much better to use than the competition. The Surface's keyboard covers, combined with the kick-stand (which does almost work as well on my lap as on a table and is nicely robust) mean that you get some of the advantages that a laptop normally has over a tablet, with the additional flexibility of being able to remove the keyboard or just fold it round the back.
One of the reasons that I didn't initially pre-order the Surface was because I was thinking that I'd prefer the higher resolution screen on the Surface Pro when it's released. I needn't have been concerned about that because the screen on this thing is beautiful. I'm not one of these people who's going to dig into detail on that, but the colours are good, blacks look pretty black and text looks really nice, with smooth curves.
A funny thing has happened to me with the Windows Start screen over the time that I've been using the Surface. Initially I was disappointed at the number of tiles that are on the screen at any one time because of the resolution on the screen. Compared to my desktop with a mammoth widescreen, I was seeing so much less – up to 24 small tiles (although I have a mix of large and small), compared to a potential 78 small tiles! Now I like having live data on my tiles, and I like a reasonable amount of data density (I'm very happy with the new Windows Phone for that reason), but I now feel like there's too much going on with the Start screen on my desktop and I've grown very accustomed to the density on the Surface.
The Surface RT has a micro-HDMI output, so you can connect to an external display (I bought a cheap cable from Amazon, not the expensive one that Microsoft will sell you). Here you have the option to duplicate or extend your screen (or just use the external display). I did initially wonder whether the extend option would be much use on Windows RT since (as with Windows 8) you can only display the modern UI and apps on one display at a time, with the second display just showing the desktop, and there aren't many things you can use on the desktop on Windows RT. It would really be nicer if you could have a different Windows Store app running on each of the displays. Assuming that the desktop will eventually disappear, and knowing that multi-monitor support is going to be a feature in Windows going forward, I expect that there's a team in Redmond already working on this.
I should say at this point that I don't need a whole load of apps. I use Office (although it's a shame Outlook is missing from the bundle that comes with RT), a decent browser and a Remote Desktop – I'll come on to those last two later. Incidentally, the lack of Outlook is brought into sharper focus because the Mail app is so bad – I'll be keeping an eye out for a better alternative but at the moment OWA/Outlook.com are better options!
I'm not going to talk about the availability of apps. There aren't as many at present as there are for other platforms. The number is going to change daily and it's only a matter of time before the Store gets fleshed out – this is Windows, after all!
HOWEVER, not every app that's in the Store on Windows 8 is in the Store on Windows RT. I don't know if the reverse is also the case, and I don't know how big the difference is; I only noticed that some things like Microsoft's Minesweeper and Mahjong games aren't there when I search on my Surface (since I started writing this Minesweeper has arrived; not so Mahjong). I don't know whether that fact has been published and I've just missed it, but it certainly wasn't something that I was consciously aware of.
The ability to multi-task, with snapped apps, is one of the things that makes this a legitimate productivity device for me.
I've already found several sites that aren't whitelisted to use IE10's built in Flash functionality. I expected that would happen, and I'm generally in favour of the approach that Microsoft have taken here, but it can be frustrating if there's a specific Flash site you want to use that Microsoft hasn't got whitelisted. Happily there's currently a workaround, so you can whitelist something yourself – http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/2012/11/05/how-to-use-microsofts-own-whitelisting-feature-to-enable-flash-on-the-metro-version-of-ie10/ – your mileage may vary. I've also come up against a site that required Silverlight. There's some confusion if you search online about this; allow me to clear that up – you can't install Silverlight on Windows RT. Not on the metro IE 10; not on the desktop IE 10.
Digital Media
I don't like the Music app. It seems to focused on the Xbox Music content and not the music that you have on the device. The Video app has a similar problem, but it's not as much of a problem because I typically launch it to watch one video and I don't need to worry about playlists or anything like that. I expect that I'll be using a different media player app going forward. I've started using Multimedia8, which I consider a better alternative to Music and Video, but not perfect. At least it supports subtitle tracks for foreign movies.
Remote Desktop
Having the grown-up Microsoft RDP clients is what makes the Surface RT a viable device for work for people like Sys Admins (and PowerShell, of course). On Windows RT you get both mstsc.exe and the modern Remote Desktop app from the Store. The new app is actually fairly nice, letting you manage multiple RDP sessions the same way as you work with multiple tabs in IE 10. One area that I expected to have a better experience was that of Remote Apps. The new Remote Desktop client appears to be the same as the app in the store on Windows 8, but either it isn't, or it doesn't behave in the same way. If I try to connect the same way as I do from my Win8 desktop, it just doesn't work.
And just so it could call me a liar, when I tried one last time to get Remote Apps to work just before I posted this, it worked fine. I don't think that there was an update to the Remote Desktop app in the meantime, and I'm sure there wasn't a change on the back-end server. I know I didn't have any typos in the path. Now it just works. Which is nice, because I know that the recently released Citrix Receiver app doesn't work with the version of XenApp that we're running!
Printing via Devices charm feels unintuitive to me, but once you get your head around the idea, it makes sense – it's only because I'm used to years of selecting Print from the File menu. The functionality of the Share and Search charms is good and it's only going to improve as more apps add contracts. That said, you do have to be a bit careful when you're using the Share charm – if you accidentally take focus away from the pane that it pops up, you're going to have to start over again, so there's no option to compile a tweet and quickly switch to IE to check the spelling of a name or hashtag before you send it. I would personally prefer to have the sharing app pop up in the snapped position properly, rather than just as an overlay, so that it multitasks properly.
Not relating to Charms, something else that I find a bit confused about the Windows RT experience is doing multiple selections by touch. On the Start screen, you drag tiles down a bit; in Mail you drag messages to the right a bit; in the Your Apps list in the Store, you just tap each item. There's no consistency, although I can see why the different methods are necessary because of the context. It just means that each time you find a new place you want to do multiple selections, you're going to have to work out how to do it in that instance. I found the different methods relatively easily, but I expect others may struggle more.
Having a normal USB port, and a load of device class drivers is a massive win for this device. I can plug in a USB hard drive or a thumb drive to transfer content to and from the device very easily (the presence of the full File Explorer, giving you control of the storage is important too). I can connect my camera without the use of an additional adapter. I can connect to a printer, via USB or wirelessly without any additional software. Heck, if I wasn't perfectly happy with the Touch Cover for either mouse or keyboard, I'd just plug one in and use that – no need to waste battery on Bluetooth. Here's an exciting prospect for gamers too – you can use an Xbox 360 controller with the Surface – Boom! Headshot!
I only went for the 32GB version of the Surface, because I was able to add a 64GB micro SD card to store all my files for not a lot of money. It's worth noting that the metro-style apps usually expect files to be in your Libraries. If you're going to store them on SD, you need to use this trick to include the removable content in the Libraries: http://winsupersite.com/article/windows8/surface-tip-microsd-content-libraries-metro-apps-144658
While the Surface comes with the internal drive encrypted with BitLocker, it doesn't offer the option to BitLocker your SD card. That's a bit annoying, but not too much of a problem if you can pop that SD card into a Windows 7/8 computer and do it there. There are some instructions to do that here: http://garfoot.com/blog/2012/11/securely-extending-surface-rt-with-an-sd-card-and-bitlocker/
Microsoft have published a site listing hardware compatibility with Windows RT: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/winrt/CompatCenter/Home. Sadly it doesn't support a WD 1TB USB3 HDD that I use at work, although I've tried other USB3 devices and they work fine, so that's just unfortunate for me. Hopefully there'll be a driver update that will fix that before long (I've already upgraded the firmware on the drive to the latest version).
People need to be aware that Windows RT is not Windows 8, and that the Tegra3 chipset, as good as it is, is not as powerful as modern x64 chips. I can comfortably get by with what Windows RT offers for a portable device, but I couldn't get away with it if I didn't also have a powerful desktop running Windows 8. Incidentally, this stuff isn't in Windows RT: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows/rt-disclaimer
Overall, I think this is an excellent personal device (for me). The fact that you can have multiple user accounts on the device makes it suitable for sharing too; with family members, for example. I still wouldn't buy dozens of them to hand out in an organization (I'd prefer to look at the Surface Pro for that, so that it can be domain-joined and managed with Group Policy), but I personally won't be using a laptop anytime soon. I also won't be using an iPad or Android tablet either. I actually think that the iPad is a great device for a lot of people, especially the people who I wouldn't trust to use a computer without regularly needing help. Obviously the other tablet OS's have more apps available, but the thing about those numbers is that after the apps that you want are there, it doesn't matter how much other crap is available. To my mind, Apple need to start really innovating with iOS or their dominant position in the market is going to get eroded before long.
Incidentally, I drafted most of this post in OneNote on the Surface.

I love Brown in the 2nd, if we miss out on Ogletree.. starting to think he might be gone
I'm just not sure we have the right environment at LB for a potential project/ high round LB who might not start from day one.
Still lots of time between now and the draft day, this would be a good pick up in the right area. Still think if we have a shot at a good DE we should go for that in the first. That or a CB, which they will sorely need...
Well ogletree can run and cover. He just may need to start off on the weakside where he can be protected by the DT in front of him. He is not good with his hands and gets walled off by OL easily.
It's probably coachable, but it's something that will likely prevent him from starting off in the middle early in his career.
Still think brown will surprise at the combine. Similar to how there were some who thought Kuechly was not that athletic.
Brown may very well run in the 4.4s.
Just looks slower, IMO, because he's smaller and doesn't take a lot of false steps. Ogletree looks like he's sprinting across the field quite a bit.
I remember last year some thought martez Wilson was like a 4.9 type guy because he looked slow when he ran. He had a strange running motion. But he ran a 4.4 something at the combine.
Have to really just go by how much distance they cover and ignore watching the player actually run.

The NBA stares into the abyssThursday, September 22nd, 2011
Reports out of New York where the NBA and the player's association on Thursday were not encouraging. Nothing seems to have changed since last week's meeting when cautious optimism turned into hard-line pessimism. Not much was expected on Thursday and apparently not much was given.
Now the clock is ticking quickly toward what would have been the opening of training camps and a preseason schedule that is in jeopardy. As commissioner David Stern told reporters, "the calendar is not our friend." Stern is scheduled to talk with the owners on the labor committee on Friday and both sides said they would try to talk next week, but there appears to be little, if any, momentum toward a new deal.
The NBA is expected to announce as early as Friday that the opening of camps — set for the first week in October — will be delayed and the first stretch of preseason games will also be canceled. Yahoo! is reporting that preseason games will be canceled through Oct. 15 and then the situation will be reevaluated on Oct. 1.
Officially delaying the start of training camps and trimming the preseason schedule is only the first step, but it's a meaningful one. It would be the first time that the league has lost games, preseason or regular season, since the 1998 lockout.
There is still some room to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement for the regular season to start as scheduled on Nov. 1, but not much. It will likely take at least four weeks from the time an agreement is reached to prepare for the beginning of the season and time is running out.
Neither Stern nor union president Derek Fisher would categorize Thursday's meetings with reporters, but the lack of progress seemed evident. The union has offered to reduce their take of basketball-related income (BRI) from 57 to around 54 percent, which equates to more than $100 million in salaries, but not without retaining the current soft cap system. The owners have wanted a 50-50 split and a new structure with a hard cap.
The willingness to negotiate on the revenue split was the reason for the optimism, but neither side seems willing to concede on the cap question and it doesn't appear as if the player's proposal is enough to satisfy the owners, who have claimed losses in excess of $300 million.
Also left hanging in the balance are questions about whether the two camps are split internally. For the owners, it's a matter of big markets vs. small markets, or more accurately hard-liners and those willing to find middle ground. There are issues of revenue sharing as well that have not yet been addressed publicly. And for the players, there have been reports of high-powered agents who are unhappy with the union's direction. The word "decertification" hangs uncomfortably in the air, which would likely mean antitrust lawsuits.
The NBA and the union have been pushed to the brink and the deadlines become more real with each passing day.

How Eyes Sense Motion
Neuroscientists have known that the retina can perceive motion, but no one knew how. Unable to map the neuronal circuitry, neuroscientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology created a citizen-science, brain-mapping game called EyeWire. Players traced the pathways of nerves from electron microscope images of a mouse retina and mapped the wiring of the neurons. This game playing showed that a cell that relays information to the optic nerve is connected to two types of another nerve cell, which link up photoreceptors with these relaying cells, one type connected near the cell body and the other further from it. The first type transmits signals with a time lag. Thus, even though two nearby photoreceptors detect an object moving across a visual field at slightly different times, the two signals reach the relaying cell at the same instant because of the time delay. The authors suggest that this cell fires when receiving these dual signals, relaying to the brain that something is moving in the direction of the two connecting cells. This study paves the way for experiments testing this model.

Cause of the Permian Extinction
The largest mass extinction, occurring 252 million years ago at the end of the Permian Period, before dinosaurs walked the Earth, wiped out approximately 95 percent of all life. The cause of the event has long been a topic of debate. The extinctions coincided with increased volcanic activity in Siberia, but evidence has not supported this as a sole cause. MIT's Daniel Rothman and colleagues presented compelling evidence that an unprecedented increase in methane-producing microbes is the cause. They showed that the methanogenic archaea acquired the ability to break down acetate, which had built up in sediments, through gene transfer from a bacterium about 250 million years ago, just before the mass extinction. Using a mathematical model, they showed that methane and other gases could have increased exponentially during this timeframe, pointing to microbial activity rather than volcanoes as the source. Further, the eruptions released nickel, a limiting nutrient for methanogens, into the sediment deposits. The unrestrained microbial growth could have induced anoxic, acidic conditions in the oceans and toxic levels of hydrogen sulfide in the atmosphere, resulting in the die-offs.

A New Hemihelix Shape
While studying how to make two-dimensional springs, Harvard University researchers were surprised to generate a shape they'd never seen before, hemihelices exhibiting multiple reversals in the direction of spiral. Hemihelices can be formed by holding one end of a helical telephone cord in place while twisting the other end in the opposite direction to its spiral. In nature, plant tendrils and wool fibers can form such shapes. To understand them, the researchers stretched, joined, and released strips of a stretchy polymer. They found that the height-to-width ratio of a strip's cross-section predicts the transition from a helix to a hemihelix and the number of reversals in spiral direction—a wider strip will produce a helix. The researchers note that hemihelices with multiple reversals have not been observed before because most human-made materials will break before achieving the strains necessary to induce these shapes.

Krypton in Ancient Ice
Air bubbles trapped in ice provide many clues to Earth's climate record. The oldest ice cores discovered so far are 800,000 years old. Oregon State University's Christo Buizert and colleagues used a new radiometric dating technique to accurately age samples of ice from near the surface of Taylor Glacier in Antarctica to 120,000 years old. This new technique uses krypton-81, which has a much longer decay rate than the commonly used carbon-14, presenting the potential to go back 1.5 million years. Krypton is a noble gas found in trace amounts in the atmosphere, and krypton-81 is formed when cosmic rays collide with krypton isotopes. Until 2011, radiokrypton dating was intractable, because of the sheer amount of ice required to detect such trace amounts. Advances in detector technology reduced the amount of ice required to the feasible, though large, amount of 350 kilograms. This new method opens the possibility of studying the transition from shorter to longer glacial cycles.

Minke Whales Say "Quack"
Seafarers have been puzzled for decades by a sound picked up in the oceans around Antarctica, fondly called the "bio-duck." The noises are prevalent throughout the Southern Ocean and also around western Australia. Marine biologist Denise Risch of NOAA Northeast Fisheries Science Center unwittingly discovered that the sound came from Antarctic minke whales (Balaenoptera bonaerensis) when she and her colleagues tracked two with tags that included underwater microphones. The discovery opens up new possibilities for tracking these whales and also presents a way to retroactively study their behavior from past recordings.

|U.S. Department of Justice
United States Attorney
Northern District of Illinois
Western Division
|Scott A. Verseman
Assistant U.S. Attorney
|308 West State Street - Room 300
Rockford, Illinois 61101
November 25, 2009
ROCKFORD – PATRICK J. FITZGERALD, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois; and THOMAS UTZ, JR., Special Agent-In-Charge of the Chicago Field Office of the United States Department of Education - Office of the Inspector General (DOE-OIG), today made the following announcement:
This morning, in federal court in Rockford, WILLIAM J. FALBO, SR., 47, of Lake-in-the-Hills, Illinois, was sentenced to serve 12 months in prison for his conviction for obtaining federal education benefits through fraud and false statements. The court also sentenced Falbo to serve three years of supervised release following his imprisonment and ordered him to pay a total of $42,469.45 to the victims of his crimes.
The education fraud charge that Falbo pled guilty to was part of a four count indictment filed on July 15, 2008. Count One of the indictment alleged that Falbo falsely applied for federal student financial aid in the name of his son, without his sons permission or knowledge. Count Two alleged that Falbo defrauded Fifth Third Bank out of more than $23,000 in connection with an account he caused to be opened in his sons name. Count Three alleged that Falbo committed wire fraud by applying for a Discover credit card in the name of another individual, without that other individuals permission or knowledge. Count Four charged defendant with identity theft in connection with the application for the Discover card.
In the plea agreement which was entered on March 16, 2009, defendant admitted that he had agreed to pay for his sons college education after he divorced his sons mother. Defendants son was admitted into Drake University during the spring of 2004. In order to avoid his obligation to pay for his sons education, defendant falsely applied for federal grants and federally insured loans in his sons name, without his sons knowledge or permission. In support of these applications, defendant submitted numerous false documents, including a false tax return which stated that defendants income during 2003 was $47,227. The actual tax return that defendant filed with the IRS for 2003 showed his income as $233,403. Defendant also admitted that he forged his sons name on certain documents.
At the sentencing hearing today, the court found that defendant also committed the bank fraud alleged in Count Two of the indictment and the wire fraud alleged in Count Three relating to the Discover Card. The court considered these acts as relevant conduct for purposes of determining Falbos sentence.
The sentencing hearing was conducted by United States District Judge Frederick J. Kapala. The case was investigated by the Chicago field office of the DOE-OIG. The case was prosecuted in federal court by Assistant United States Attorney Scott A. Verseman.

People with a disability are the largest minority in Australia – about one in five Australians has a disability. They are also one of the most disadvantaged groups, with sub-standard outcomes on most indicators of community participation and wellbeing. The Productivity Commission reported that the current disability support system is "underfunded, unfair, fragmented and inefficient...". The imperative for changing the disability experience in Australia is clear. The time to act is now.
In its report, the Productivity Commission put forward a funding, support, and governance mechanism, which commits to providing people with a disability the opportunity to live fulfilling and active lives. This mechanism is the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). It is the opposite of a welfare model and will make a positive contribution to Australia's productivity.
The enormous opportunity presented by the NDIS for evolving disability in Australia has prompted PwC to invest in a new thought leadership paper 'Disability expectations: Investing in a better life, a stronger Australia'. Developed in collaboration with key leaders in the disability care and support field, this PwC report considers: what needs to change if the NDIS is to make a meaningful difference?
In order to realise reform, the NDIS will need to be implemented in conjunction with strong policy, whole-of-government accountability, and culture change. We propose four key principles that should underpin the future development of disability support in Australia – fairness by way of equal rights; facilitation and choice in exercising rights; and inclusion through the removal of obstacles to access and participation.

How many Packers did you knock out of the game with hits? (None) [/quote]
You seem to think this is boxing or something. We knocked out 5 or 6 starting QBs last year and didn't make the playoffs (at 10-6). Heck we knocked out Chicago's #1 and #2 QBs in the same game.
I like seeing hard hits as much as anybody but it's much more important that you MAKE THE TACKLE and not try to knock someone out cause if you're just throwing your body around you're not tackling. See two of Hackeem Nicks' touchdowns where they're trying to hit him and don't make the tackle and he takes the hit and goes all the way for a TD.

Where do you want to go to the beach? From Porreres is very easy to get to the southern and south-eastern beaches. We recommend visiting the famous beach "Es Trenc" – there you will feel like in the Caribbean! You reach this beach in about 30 minutes driving by car. Also the beaches of Santanyi and the salt refinery of Campos are worth visiting. The salts of Campos are very famous for its first-class quality. You could buy lots of curious variants there; like salt with olive or rosé aroma.

Reviews of this property
We were in August 2 weeks Add Son Veny and we felt very well filled. We can only agree with the content of the initial evaluation of Holger. The fact that the rooms are open at the top, is a very important information, but we did not really bother us at the end. The house is inside and outside in excellent condition and very individually decorated inside but tastefully. In particular, the spacious layout ensures that even with several people always find a spot somewhere. The homeowner is super nice and helpful. Only outside the few shady spots we found not so great. In particular, the pool a canopy or more umbrellas would have been very helpful.
Wir waren im August 2 Wochen in Son Veny und haben uns sehr wohl gefüllt. Wir können uns der ersten Bewertung von Holger inhaltlich nur anschließen. Dass die Räume nach oben offen sind, ist eine sehr wichtige Info, hat uns aber am Ende nicht wirklich gestört. Das Haus ist innen wie aussen in bestem Zustand und innen sehr individuell aber geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Besonders die großzügige Raumaufteilung sorgt dafür, dass man auch mit mehreren Leuten immer irgendwo ein Plätzchen findet. Der Hausbesitzer ist super nett und hilfsbereit. Einzig die wenigen Schattenplätze draussen fanden wir nicht so toll. Insbesondere am Pool wäre eine Überdachung oder mehrere Schirme sehr hilfreich gewesen.
Super apartment, very nice host.
The apartment combines the flair of a rustic country house with modern and luxurious elements.
Super Apartment, sehr netter Gastgeber.
Das Apartment verbindet das Flair einer Urigen Finca mit modernen und luxuriösen Elementen.
A fantastically beautiful, elaborately renovated old house on a hill with wonderful views of the surrounding fields. Great open kitchen with an open fireplace and direct access to the adjacent first terrace. Also, the large living room with fireplace / stove is open. From here magnificent view through the large windows face south-west and access to the second terrace and adjacent swimming pool. Both terraces are each equipped with a table and six chairs.
All the equipment of the house seems very high quality.
Two bedrooms are on the first floor of the house, which is also the living and kitchen area is located. One of the bedrooms has an adjoining private bathroom. The other bedroom and the third on the ground floor have no eigenens bathroom, but on the first floor there is a second bathroom.
The owner / manager of the hotel are extremely nice and helpful, acquisition and transfer of the house were - despite our late arrival - no problem. For questions or Other is ready a phone number of the landlord. Wifi is available for free and has worked well with us.
The house is immediately adjacent to a farm. The accompanying sheep all have a bell around so that you constantly hear a tinkle and bleating. In addition, there are some roosters crowing regularly. With the windows open can - even at night - are quite loud and disturbing. On the other hand, this is also typical rural. More "noise sources" does not exist, because the house is beautifully lonely. There may be problems with mosquitoes in summer. We had - early May - fortunately only a few of the annoying "mosquito".
The biggest problem of the house: The two bedrooms upstairs both have no ceiling (!)! This means that both rooms are open at the top, and you can hear every word, every sound and every movement of the neighbors! One, as we find, quite very important information!
Who but which does not bother you, you will find a perfect finca before, we can only highly recommend it!
Ein traumhaft schönes, aufwändig renoviertes altes Haus auf einer leichten Anhöhe mit wundervollem Blick auf die umliegenden Felder. Tolle, offene Küche mit offener Feuerstelle und direktem Zugang zur angrenzenden ersten Terrasse. Auch das große Wohnzimmer mit Kamin/Ofen ist offen gestaltet. Von hier herrlicher Blick durch die große Fensterfront gen Süd-Westen und Zugang zur zweiten Terrasse und den angrenzenden Pool. Beide Terrassen sind mit je einem Tisch und sechs Stühlen ausgestattet.
Die gesamte Ausstattung des Hauses erscheint sehr hochwertig.
Zwei Schlafzimmer liegen im ersten Stock des Hauses, wo sich auch der Wohn-und Küchenbereich befindet. Eines der Schlafzimmer hat ein angrenzendes eigenes Bad. Das andere Schlafzimmer und das dritte im Erdgeschoß haben kein eigenens Bad, aber in der ersten Etage gibt es ein zweites Badezimmer.
Die Besitzer/Verwalter des Hauses sind äußerst nett und hilfsbereit, Übernahme und Übergabe des Hauses waren - trotz unserer Verspätung - kein Problem. Für Fragen oder Sonstiges liegt eine Telefonnummer des Vermieters bereit. Wifi ist kostenlos verfügbar und hat bei uns gut funktioniert.
Das Haus grenzt unmittelbar an einen Bauernhof. Die dazugehörigen Schafe haben alle ein Glöckchen um, so daß man ständig ein Bimmeln und das Blöken der Tiere vernimmt. Zudem gibt es einige Hähne, die regelmäßig krähen. Bei offenem Fenster kann das - auch nachts - durchaus laut werden und stören. Andererseits ist das eben auch typisch ländlich. Weitere "Lärmquellen" gibt es nicht, weil das Haus herrlich einsam liegt. Möglicherweise gibt es im Hochsommer Probleme mit Mücken. Wir hatten - Anfang Mai - glücklicherweise nur ein paar der nervigen "Moskitos".
Das größte Problem des Hauses: Die beiden Schlafzimmer im Obergeschoß haben beide keine(!) Zimmerdecke! Das heißt: beide Räume sind nach oben offen, und man hört jedes Wort, jedes Geräusch und jede Bewegung der Zimmernachbarn!!! Eine, wie wir finden, durchaus sehr wichtige Information!
Wen das jedoch nicht stört, der findet eine perfekte Finca vor, die wir nur wärmstens empfehlen können!!!
Reviews for this host's other properties
Its a fantastic Finca in the countryside of Mallorca but still very close to Santa Margalida. It has a beautiful, large and clean pool. The sourrounding yard is decorated with beautiful flowers. The house is decorated in an "old-fashion/classical" style and very cosy. The furniture in- and outside is very comfortable and solid - no plastic chairs or similar. The interior gives you everything you need: A huge fridge including 3 big ice buckets, a washing mashine, a barbeque on the terrace and a nice outside-couchplace. The kitchen provides any tool you´d need. Well, I could write a novel about the beauty of this place...
Last but not least we had very nice expirience with the daughter of the owner who visited us the second day in order to ask if everything is okay and to give some info about garbage and electronics.
To make a long story short: We had a fantastic stay and we will come back to this beautiful place a s soon as possible.

Megan Fox gave birth to baby Noah in September, and the "This is 40" actress said it was a lot harder than she expected.
"I was screaming for an epidural when [Brian Austin Green] was driving me to the hospital because my water broke on its own and I was immediately -- it was level orange alert pain," Megan told Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson on Monday at the "This Is 40" film junket.

'"Cause it's scary," Megan's funny "This is 40" co-star Chris O'Dowd chimed in.
"It... can't be anything because it hurts so bad," Megan said. "It was so intense. And I thought I was gonna be really tough and make it, I was gonna labor to like 8 cm... but the first contraction that I got was horrific!"

But she did try to look her best, despite the pain.
"I had wet hair so I was trying to blow dry my hair before I went to the hospital because I didn't want to go to the hospital with wet hair," she laughed.
Megan said parenthood is tough, but she has found a new level of happiness with her son.

"It's exhausting, but it's amazing and you can't, until you have kids, you can't imagine how much you could possibly love a human being," she said. "It's really intense and really overwhelming and amazing.
"He's super cute," she added.

"Yeah, I heard," Chris chimed in. "Of course, he's gorgeous... I don't know...
"I mean, I have an Xbox, I get it," he added, trying to relate to the joys of having a child.
"This is 40," starring Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann, opens on December 21 and Megan said the film, about Pete and Debbie, living life several years after "Knocked Up," is something many people should be able to relate to.
"I think anyone around that age could be dealing with any number of these things," she said. "It's a hard look at married life, single life, being 40. It's rough."
"It's the sexual equivalent of a cold bath," Chris said.

Tilling the soil
The unity of creation and humankind in the sight of God remains as important today as it was for Ignatius.
Once again the renewal of spring is at our door. Each Easter season reminds us that the once seemingly dead world of brown grasses and bare trees is alive, budding and poised to burst in brilliant greens and vibrant colors. It is the earth's resurrection story.
Imagine standing in a gentle April rain, stopping to breathe in the familiar scent that it brings. The earthiness and freshness are captivating and herald the coming of more sun and warmth, as well as a greater clarity after a murky, cloudy winter.
St. Ignatius found immersing himself in God's creation opened him to an attentiveness that deepened his prayer and heightened his ability to think and discern more clearly. An excerpt from an autobiography of the founder of the Society of Jesus titled A Pilgrim's Testament: The Memoirs of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, transcribed by Luis Gonçalves da Camara and translated by Parmananda R. Divarkar, helps us imagine Ignatius standing beside the River Cardoner, watching the water flow: "… the eyes of his understanding began to be opened; not that he saw any vision, but he understood and learned many things, both spiritual matters and matters of faith, and of scholarship and this with so great an enlightenment that everything seemed new to him."
No wonder Ignatius reminds us in the First Principle and Foundation of the Spiritual Exercises of the basic religious belief that God is responsible for all creation. In translating the Spiritual Exercises, Rev. David Fleming, S.J., helps us understand Ignatius' thoughts: "All the things in this world are also created because of God's love and they become a context of gifts, presented to us so that we can know God more easily and make a return of love more readily. As a result, we show reverence for all the gifts of creation and collaborate with God in using them so that by being good stewards we develop as loving persons in our care of God's world and its development. But if we abuse any of these gifts of creation or, on the contrary, take them as the center of our lives, we break our relationship with God and hinder our growth as loving persons."
Internationally, since the 1990s the Jesuits have advanced a renewed interest in studying and encouraging ecological solidarity. In 2010, the Social Justice and Ecology Secretariat of the Society of Jesus issued the document "Healing a Broken World" to encourage study, prayer and conversation about "the future of our planet" and the need to "preserve the environment, and thus, to protect creation and the poorest populations, who are the most threatened by the consequences of environmental degradation."
The unity of creation and humankind in the sight of God remains as important today as it was for Ignatius and perhaps holds a stronger moral imperative now for our attention and our own deep reflection into how our faith urges us to value and preserve all of God's creation. Spring invites us to stop, pay attention, breathe in fresh air and give thanks for the blessings of that created world. Giving thanks can lead us to deeper prayer and reflection on what each of us can do to preserve the world and its gifts for generations to come.
Dr. Susan Mountin, Jour '71, Grad '94, director of Manresa for Faculty, helps us till the soil of faith in a quarterly column on Ignatian values.
