You've attended seminars and read some books. But how do you apply what you've learned to your business and your products?
Maybe you've sat in on a training or watched a few video presentations. But there are so many definitions of product management and so many activities. The number of methods and frameworks for managing products is bewildering. Which are critical and which are just noise?
You've learned what to do in managing products. Now you need someone to show you exactly how to do it.
What's the best way to get your products from idea to market quickly?
Most organizations need a small number of living documents—fewer than 10—to manage their products and services. Today's organizations favor minimal process, brief artifacts, and simple worksheets. Don't you?
The Under10 approach is simple. With decades of experience, we've identified the core elements of defining and delivering products: personas have problems; products have features; features are released and sometimes launched. Everything in product management is derived from these core artifacts.
Under10 combines method with software to give you an approach that works. We apply these principles to your products with highly interactive workshops and webinars, and store the results online in your product playbook.
We help product teams apply industry best practices to their portfolio of products with proven tools and methods—and customized to your top priorities.
Define and deliver the right product right… in under 10 steps.

Fulbright's proposal was mac in an interview as other Congres members defended against Britis criticism President Eisenhower' order to the Seventh Fleet to fre the Nationalists for attacks on th China mainland. Among these, Sen. Cooper (R a former representative to th United Nations, said he fears tha organization won't'do anything e! fective to end the Korean War. Least Dangerous "The British don't like it, but w have got to act ior ourselves in this Cooper said, "Presi dent Eisenhower's action is th least dangerous step we could tak right now that promises some re lief in Korea. Fulbright said he isn't familiar with the military necessities in volved, but feels that if the U. S transferred bombers to the Chinese Nationalist Air Force and helped train pilots for them, it might be possible to raid Red China's com- munication lines. "The Russians are furnishing planes and training pilots for the Communist Chinese in he said. "We certainly would have a precedent for such action." But he said he doesn't want any Americans involved in any such venture, adding that the planes should be transferred to Chiang Kai-shek's forces and piloted by his men. Representatives Short (R-Mo) and Richards (D-SC) said the House was in no mood to be in- fluenced by the British position. "The British are only trying to save Hong Kong and their com- mercial interests in said Richards, former chairman of the foreign affairs committee. "The sooner they realize this is a de- lusion, the better." Halfway Many congressmen, Richards added, "feel we have leaned over backwards long enough to meet Great Britain more than halfway." Short, chairman of the armed services committee, said he be- lieved the temper of the House was "to ignore what the British say." He added that "No. 10 Downing Street (residence of the British Prime Minister) has dictated too long to our State Department." Richards said he understood French officials "beneath the sur- face" favored the Formosa deci- sion, although their public com- ments have been somewhat guarded. He said the French were under "heavy pressure in Indo- china and want to see the Com- munists occupied somewhere else."

Bodie.s of four more Americans were recovered from their nomes on England's east coast today, raising the toll of known American dead to 15. Three others were 'till missing and presumed lost. Along with the desperate race to save persons still trapped in trees, attics, on dikes and otter surround- ed high places, workers faced the rim task of rebuilding dikes against the threat of coming high spring tides that might again force waters far inland. But help and offers of aid have poured into the stricken countries from afl over the world, along with messages of deepest sympathy.

Looks for Way To Cut Budget Whole Military Program to Be Opened for Review By EDMOND LEBRETON WASHINGTON Depart ment of Defense, which spend well over half the government' money, is taking an Eisenhower inspired close look at its proposed budget. This is in line with a Whit. House directive to the entire gov ernment to re-examine policies for spending and for hiring new work ers. The goal: Economy. "In a sense, the Defense Depart ment will open up the whole mili tary program for de clared Assistant Defense Secretary W. J. McNeil. He made clear the new economy combing would in- equipment procurement, con- struction and military manpower levels. McNeil Confident But McNeil also said he was con- fident the economy drive decreed yesterday by the Budget Bureau with President Eisenhower's bless- ing contained "nothing that will wreck any defense program." The huge Defense Department, like all other government agencies, was bound by the three basic rules laid down by Budget Director Joseph M, Dodge: 1. Hiring of government workers is to be suspended until in each case it can be determined if the job can be eliminated or done by employes already on the payroll. 2. Construction is to be limited to "clearly essential" projects built under "strictest standards of economy." 3. Operations are to be conducted at a minimum spending level, with any unnecessary activities elimi- nated. It was plain the orders were in- tended as getting down to business on the Republican promise to trim the budget for the year beginning July 1 which for- mer President Truman sent Con- gress 11 days before leaving of- fice. Dodge asked all agencies to sub- mit detailed economy plans next month. To Review Projects The economy review of govern- ment construction was especially applicable to the Defense Depart- ment, with its big building pro- grams, and to the closely allied Atomic Energy Commission, which has a huge physical expansion mapped. McNeil said the review of De- fense Department spending would be under the direction of Deputy. Defense Secretary Roger. Kyes, who would start at the point where the military departments complet- ed their budget requests last fall. He explained that after Kyes has gone through the budget he may call upon service heads and mili- tary agency officials to justify anew their estimates of what it will take to continue the defense schedules. Preliminary study of the Budget Bureau order, he said, gives little indication of any radi- cal changes in programs under way or tentatively approved, but there will undoubtedly be possibili- ties of savings. The Truman budget estimate for the armed forces was based on maintaining approximately the present manpower strength of with an Air Force reach- ing 143 wings about no change for the worse in the world situation. Dodge's economy directive was praised by Sen. Byrd (D-Va) as "forthright and constructive and one of the most realistic steps for economy that has been taken dur- ing my service in the which dates back 20 years. assures Ed en on U. S. Secretary Of State John Foster Dulles, left, and British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden chat in London's Foreign Office today at the start of their discussion about mutual problems facing two countries. Recent shifts in U. S. foreign policy and lagging European unification and de- fense efforts are expected to take precedence in their list of topics. (AP Wirephoto to The Re- publican-Herald) Anxious for Harmony in Party By DON WHITEHEAD WASHINGTON U) President Eisenhower steered his spanking new administration on a course of party harmony and hoped-for gov eminent economy today. Entering his third week in the White House, Eisenhower: 1. Displayed a willingness to go more than halfway to along' with GO? congressional leaders and to keep close personal ties with the men who will translate-------------------- his programs into action through legislation. 2. Moved to lop off an unesti- mated number of government jobs and. to squeeze down the govern- ment's huge construction program initiated by the Democrats to those projects which can be classified as "clearly essential." Good Start The. President evidently got off to a good start yesterday toward the first of these objectives when he had 18 Senate GOP leaders in for a luncheon which senators in- sisted was all social and no busi- to answer questions.

No serious damage was reported, although there were reports of plaster shaken loose in one home. The quake was felt from El Cajon Valley, 15 miles east of here, westward through San Diego and La Jolla, and also at Indio, Perris and Riverside in Riverside' Coun- ty.

There was no doubt Presiden "Ike" had turned his charm fu blast on the senators. They cam out of the White House with a loo on-their faces which .some observ ers said reminded them of visitor who had been put under the spe of President Franklin D. Roose velt's famous personality. The economy move came wit suddenness late yesterday when White House statement disclose the virtual freeze, on new hiring new construction and new pro grams while the 1954 budget i being revised. There were bald words saying "It is the policy to achieve a pro gressive reduction of governmen personnel." Recalls Pledges Both actions taken were in line with Eisenhower's campaign pledges that he would work with party leaders in formulating policj and that he would have a "frugal' administration. Just how far the President can go with these programs, of course will depend in large measure on the administrative skill of his lieu tenants and Congress' reaction to halting any of their pet construe tion projects. The Eisenhower effort will be reflected in a revised 1954 budgei which may be ready sometime in April. And the showdown will come finally when congressional appro- priation committees make their de- cision on hqw much money they want to spend on what projects.

Oil Ship Heads For Red China Despite U.S. By JOHN SCALI WASHINGTON UP) A Finnish tanker loaded with tons of strategic jet fuel from Romania is reported on its way to Communist China today despite American gov- ernment efforts to stop it. Informed officials disclosed this today amid speculation that Presi- dent Eisenhower may eventually consider a naval blockade of the ;hina Coast to shut off such stra- tegic shipments. Suez Canal Area The tanker Wiima was said to be n the Suez Canal area after pick- ing up its highly strategic cargo at a Black Sea port last week. The State Department tried un- successfully to persuade the Finn- sh and Turkish governments to stop the vessel. Finland pleaded that it could do nothing to cancel registry of the vessel, it was understood. The Turkish government replied it ould not legally intercept the ship when it passed through the Darda- elles Straits several weeks ago eeause an international conven- ion guarantees freedom of transit or all ships. The Chinese Nationalist Navy may possibly challenge the vessel 'hen it passes near Formosa. The United Nations banned ship- ment of all strategic items to Com- China and North Korea May 18, 1951. Neither Finland nor Romania is a member of the U. N. however. U. S. officials are known to be seeking some way of preventing Western European and non-Com- munist ships from hauling materi- el to Communist China. Act May Spread War to China Secretary Takes Time Out to Discuss Situation BULLETIN LONDON S. Steretiry of State John Foster Duliitt is. wired Britain today (VnilMd States will continue its ,'olivy of trying to limit the Korean war, a British -re- ported. The official said talks between American and British leaders ended with Prime Min- ister Churchill and Foreign Secretary Eden "a great deal happier" ritan when the con- ferencn began early today. LONDON UP) Secretary of Jofin Foster Dulles had lunch to- day with Prime Minister Churchill. Informed sources said Dulles ban been told Britain strongly disap- proves of the United States action deneutralizing Formosa. Dulles met privately before thl luncheon with Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, who outlined to Dulles Britain's fears regarding the movex which leaves Nationalists free to raid their Com- munist-ruled homeland. Dulles' reply was not disclosed. He was expected to assure the British the new U. S. administra- tion has no intention to expand the Korean War. Present also at the luncheon at Churchill's official residence Eden, Mutual Security- Admini- strator Harold Stassen and U. S. Charge d'Affaires Julius C. Holmes. The general Far Eaitera situation was dlscusted. Twice during the day and British leaders, with their ad- visers, went into fullscale confer- ence at the foreign office on several other aspects of their foreign and economic policies. Britain already has told United States it fears "unfortunate political repercussions" will flow from the changed American policy towards Formosa. Concern Expressed A foreign office spokesman told reporters at R daily nfews confer- while Dulles and Eden were Britain's ex- pressions of concern had not been answered with any American as- surances. This country fears that if a new shooting area opens up between Chinese Communists and National- ists, the Allies run the risk of embroilment. The informants said British re- presentations to Washington ou Formosa included .an expression of strong disapproval-as well as concern. Both were repeated in the talks with Dulles today. The British House of Commons is to have an emergency debate Thursday on Formosa and the Far Eastern situation in general. Churchill and Eden reportedly sought answers to these questions from Dulles: 1. Does the U. S. intend to go on arming Chiang Kai-shek's armies? 2. Will the U. S. provide any sort of military protection for Chinese Nationalists raiding the Chinese mainland? 3. Will the U. S. shield Formosa, from any Chinese Communist at- tacks?

You are here: Home » Barrel Trains
The Barrel Train is an american idea, which was first developed for the UK market in 2005. Each Barrel Train is a small trailer and when linked together they form a rugged off road train. Towed by a compact tractor or a quad, the Barrel Train has quickly become a hit at many farm parks.
The Barrel Train is designed so that each barrel will follow the one in front, it will meander wherever the drive vehicle takes it. The quad tyres and low centre of gravity keep the train very stable.
They are very easy to operate, safe and very reliable. They are easy to pressure wash clean and each barrel comes equipped with a safety belt.

PSY Says He Wants Tom Cruise To Do "Gangnam Style"
During a press conference to celebrate "Gangnam Style" being the most-viewed video on Youtube, Billboard reports that PSY said he wants Tom Cruise to go "Gangnam Style". He was asked which celebrity he wanted to see by The Associated Press on Wednesday.
These were his first comments since the video hit 842 million views, passing Justin Bieber's "Baby", which had 803 million views. It passed the song on Saturday for the record.
PSY said he never intended to become a star. He said: "It's amazing. I made this video just for Korea, actually. And when I released this song – wow."
The video has created parodies, tribute videos and has made PSY very popular. Earlier this month, Madonna invited PSY onstage to dance to the song at one of her New York City concerts. MC Hammer performed with him at the American Music Awards (and introduced him as "My Homeboy PSY!") When asked on Election Day if he could do the horse-style dance, President Barack Obama said he thought he could, but he might "do it privately for Michelle," the first lady.
PSY was in Thailand on Wednesday for a free concert as a tribute to King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who turns 85 next month. He showed his respect at a Bangkok shopping mall and signed his name in an autograph book next to a giant poster of the King. He then gave a press conference as his fans performed the "Gangnam Style" dance.
He said he plans to release a worldwide album in March with new dance moves. He added: "I think I have plenty of dance moves left. But I'm really concerned about the (next) music video. How can I beat 'Gangnam Style'? How can I beat 850 million views?"

Anemone eats bird, and other surprising animal meals
By Erika Engelhaupt, 13:14 PM May 15, 2014
There's an old saying in journalism: If a dog bites a man, that's not news. Man bites dog: That's news.
So how about a sea anemone that chows down on a bird? Researchers have reported finding a giant green anemone chowing down on a young cormorant. The photo of the event looks something like a purple Thanksgiving turkey being attacked by a neon-green hairbrush.
The picture is surprising because, as researcher Lisa Guy of the University of Washington in Seattle told Deep Sea News, it's an "examp...

Press Release From Nu Image/Millennium Films Regarding Accident On Expendables 2 Set
As reported by Deadline, Nu Image/Millennium Films have released a statement regarding the recent accident on the Expendables 2 set that led to the tragic death of one member of the production and the injuring of another. Names and full details are revealed below:
"Our deepest condolences go to the family of Kun Lieu. His passing is tragic. Our sympathies also go to Nuo Sun who was seriously injured as a result of the same explosion. We have been informed his condition has stabilized. He has been transported to Munich, Germany, where he is receiving top medical care from the best specialists," said Nu Image/Millennium Films.
Regrettably, Bulgarian language newspapers have incorrectly reported that stunt doubles for Jet Li and Sylvester Stallone were involved in the accident. This is absolutely false and inaccurate. At the time of the accident neither Li's or Stallone's stuntmen were on or near the Second Unit set, nor were any of the film's main actors, director Simon West or any of the Main Unit crew.
Only Second Unit filming has been temporarily suspended and will resume shortly. The filmmakers continue to work with authorities investigating this accident. Main Unit production has not been interrupted and continues as scheduled.
Deadline has confirmed today that Arnold Schwarzenegger has setup his next action thriller. The film is titled Black Sands and here's what Deadline had to say about the film:
An action film that will be directed by Scott Waugh and Mike McCoy. Financed by Bill Block's QED, the film will begin production April 1, 2012. In the Skip Woods-scripted film, Schwarzenegger will play a loner who wages war against a ruthless weapons manufacturer and his private army in the Southwest. The tone is Man On Fire meets High Plains Drifter. Block will be selling worldwide territories starting today. Woods scripted A Good Day To Die Hard, which Fox is readying for production. Waugh and McCoy most recently directed Act Of Valor, an action adventure that features actual Navy SEALs. That film was acquired at an auction for distribution by Relativity Media, which paid a $13 million minimum guarantee and a $30 million P&A commitment, and scheduled the film for release on February 17, which is President's Day Weekend.
Al Ruddy will produce Black Sands with Block and Paul Hanson. Waugh, McCoy and Max Leitman are the executive producers through their Bandito Brothers banner. Schwarzenegger has squarely returned to his action wheelhouse since returning to acting after ending his run as California governor. He's shooting the Kim Jee-woon-directed The Last Stand for Lionsgate, after completing The Expendables 2.
In other news, we learned a little more today about the stuntman that was killed on the Expendables 2 set. He was Jet Li's stunt double and was of Chinese nationality, to further add to the tragedy he was still very young, only 26 years old. Once again, I think I speak for all of us when I say our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the deceased.
Lastly, our report yesterday of model Veneta Harizanova joining the cast of Expendables 2 was apparently fabricated by the original source so you can completely disregard it.
Sylvester Stallone To Enter THE TOMB
Variety is reporting that Sylvester Stallone has a new film in the works. The film is titled THE TOMB and Variety describes the film as follows:
Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone) is the world's foremost authority on structural security -- specifically prisons. His skills are put to the test when he is framed and put in a high-security prison of his own design and must find the person who put him there. Miles Chapman wrote the action screenplay, with Jason Keller providing a rewrite.
They also noted the following:
Sylvester Stallone is breathing life into "The Tomb" for Summit and Emmett/Furla Films.The two companies have been trying to get the pic off the ground for some time, and the project has seen a revolving door of action vets come and go. Antoine Fuqua was once attached to direct and Bruce Willis originally positioned to star. After Willis moved on, Arnold Schwarzenegger considered the pic for his post-politics big screen return.Schwarzenegger instead chose Lionsgate's "Last Stand" and Fuqua moved on to direct "Southpaw" for MGM, leaving "The Tomb" in a holding pattern.
The Tomb will most likely be Sly's next project after Expendables 2. Sounds awesome to me, what do you guys think?

Newcastle Thermal Coal Price Continues Steady Climb
The Newcastle thermal coal spot price has continued its steady climb over the past few weeks. Energy Publishing's John O'Neil looks at the recent movements in the market.
"Several traders are closing off their short positions for Q1 and January is the nearest month," the trader said.
"Producers have also been selling their coal before the end of the year which means there is likely to be less coal available in December and January. It will be very difficult to get any tonnage for December," the trader said.
Producers negotiating with Japanese utilities for year-long contracts for deliveries beginning January 1 are also putting upward pressure on spot prices and they have their minds on the start of Japanese fiscal year contract negotiations which will start in February, the trader said.
Last week, February deliveries of Newcastle coal were hovering around the $90/t mark.
"The market is not likely to slip below $90, or at least the high $80s, in the foreseeable future," the trader said.
A derailment by a loaded Pacific National coal train in the NSW Gunnedah Basin recently has also provide support for the spot price.
"A large part of the reason for Newcastle prices rallying recently is the train derailment which looks to be serious and I suspect will continue to cause issues for some time – perhaps all of December," a Sydney-based trader said.
Meanwhile, Chinese purchases of Newcastle high ash 5,500kcal/kg coal have been stymied by the higher prices Korean gencos pay for 5,700kcal/kg Newcastle coal through tenders.
"The Chinese haven't moved their target price for a long time – they're still sitting in the low $70s on a 5,500 NAR basis," the trader said.
"The Koreans have continued to buy 5,700 NAR coal through their tender processes and prices have increased in these tenders from around $82/t on 6,080kcal/basis to $85/t, so there's been a feeling that the Aussie producers have dumped what they needed to some months ago and there's less of a supply overhang."
He said there has been "little noise", if any, about production cut backs by NSW producers.
Further supply reductions of Newcastle coal have resulted from the four-day closure of the Hunter Valley rail network last month for capacity expansion and maintenance. Port of Newcastle terminal operator Port Waratah Coal Services is still recovering from the outage with an estimated loss of about 750kt of throughput.
The Singapore trader concurred Korean gencos were paying a far higher price for off-spec Newcastle than Chinese traders are willing to pay.
"Chinese bids are weak compared to what the Koreans are prepared to pay," the trader said.
"Chinese buyers are offering $71-72/t FOB for 5,500kcal/kg coal while the Koreans are paying in the mid-$80s on a 6,000kcal/kg basis for 5,700kcal/kg coal.
"That's about $7 more on a calorific value basis."
The Korean gencos were likely to continue buying 5,700kcal/kg throughout the first quarter of 2013 as prices were unlikely to be this low again for some time, the trader said.
With the Chinese domestic prices for coal continuing to fall and ports and power plants well stocked for the coming winter period, Chinese traders are not likely to move their target price for the high ash 5,500kcal/kg Newcastle product. As at December 3, the benchmark price for 5,800kcal/kg coal at the northern China port of Qinhuangdao fell by RMB 5 ($0.80) week-on-week to RMB 675/t ($108.30/t) with the 5,500kcal/ kg domestic product also falling by RMB 5 w-o-w to RMB 630/t ($101.10/t).
In Australia, what is changing is the price spread between standard spec Newcastle coal and the high ash 5,500kcal/kg product, the Sydney trader said.
"Previously Newc prices had been falling towards a static 5,500 price and now the reverse is happening," he said.
The Newcastle Export Index (previously the Barlow Jonker Index BJI), is an indicator of the spot price of thermal coal in the Asian market. It reflects the price at which a willing seller and a willing buyer are prepared to do business in the spot market for a prompt cargo of thermal coal loaded FOB vessel Port of Newcastle, NSW, Australia. Newcastle is one of the world's largest export coal loading facilities, and Newcastle coal is the reference coal in the Asian thermal coal market. The NEX is published weekly in Coalfax and in coalportal.com'

Hollywood heartthrob Robert Pattinson may be all of 23, but he is set to be the subject of a documentary on his life.
The film called 'Robsessed' includes "exclusive footage" of the Twilight star who shot to international fame playing a lovelorn vampire in the superhit film, reported Mirror online.

Solved! Go to Solution.
Re: home tycoon help
After that you build a bunch of houses (I think 6?), then that quest chain is over. As far as I know, there are no more quests unless you buy one of the expansions.
Re: home tycoon help
You can start a city just by playing through the missions. Once you've finished all the free missions, you'll have a good set of buildings in your city, and a lot more will be unlocked for your use. After that, you need some money, so try to save up for decent cash buildings. I've got 12 Globosyn towers, for example.
[to buy a car] I think you go to the store from planner mode. There should be an option for vehicles in there
Re: home tycoon help
thanks. But I go to my city there is nothing there but land. then I go back again and there was buildings there, I have a growth of 100%, then when I go back there is just land. as if nothing is being saved or downloaded. what can I do and where do I find the missions to work through. Please help me.
Why can't I drive my car in my city? a pop up says unable to use but when I go to another city to visit I can drive my car there. Thank you for your help.
Re: home tycoon help
email firstname.lastname@example.com they will sort everything out for you. hope this helps
Re: home tycoon help
I have a question about Home Tycoon, I still dont understand what the little running man icon means.
Is the percentage employment or unemployment?
Mines at 16%, if its unemployment then it doesn't sound very good, but if its employment, then thats sounds terribe and I dont think I'll be getting voted back in as mayor come next election day.
I know it seems a bit of a newbie question but I just never really understood what its for.
Thankyou in advance for any answers.

As more cities incorporate concepts like "complete streets" into their long-term plans, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) is urging Congress to do the same when developing the next surface transportation program. The organization wants federally funded projects to make the right of way accessible for all users — a goal supported by groups ranging from the Association for the Advancement of Retired Persons to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"The next authorization bill must take into account the important role played by road-related investments in enhancing communities," says AASHTO Executive Director John Horsley.
Bill Lewis, chief mobility engineer for the City of Columbus, Ohio, agrees.
"All roads, whether a new street or a retrofit for a bike path, should be candidates," he says. In 2008 the city adopted a plan to quadruple the number of shared-use paths over the next decade. The estimated cost for 200 miles of pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly paths is $118 million.
Since 2000, state DOTs have used $5.2 billion to fund bicycle and pedestrian programs. In 2007, states spent $13.3 billion on transit, compared to federal funding of $10.7 billion. "What's been missing from the national dialogue on livability is what can be accomplished through road-related improvements," Horsley says.
If livability concepts don't make it into the highway bill, the House of Representatives is ready to take up the charge. "Complete Streets Act of 2009" directs state DOTs to adopt similar policies on federally funded transportation projects.

Was New York Woman Evicted for Cancer?
A Manhattan resident has filed a federal lawsuit against her former landlord, claiming she was evicted from her apartment because she was a cancer survivor.
Heatheran Kristopher, 43, says she is sleeping on friends' couches after being forced out of the Upper East Side building she had lived in for three years. Shortly after she moved in in 2008 she started treatment for ovarian and colon cancer.
Her rental troubles began in 2011 when Icon Management sold her building to Stone Street Properties LLC. Kristopher claims that the founder of Stone Street showed up at her door, yelled, "How do I know you're not going to get cancer again?" and berated her for owing $5,000 in rent. She says she had previously fallen behind by as much as $10,000, but by then was paid up in full.
In the lawsuit, Kristopher said she had just signed a new two-year lease with Icon, but Stone Street refused to honor it and tried to make her sign a six-month agreement instead. "This way you're not locked in if you do get sick again," she alleged that one agent said. "I strongly suggest you sign this or you will be put on the black list."
In November 2011 the landlord started eviction proceedings, and Kristopher filed a complaint for disability discrimination with Housing and Urban Development as well as the New York State Division of Human Rights.
After over a year of legal wrangling, she finally was forced to move out of the apartment last month, withdrew the human rights complaint and filed the federal lawsuit.
The landlord denied making any cancer comments and called Kristopher "a sour-grapes tenant who was evicted because she had no lease."
Cause for Complaint
New York City has particularly strong tenant protection laws. The list of classes protected against housing discrimination is extensive: race, creed, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, marital status, familial status, lawful occupation, sexual orientation, partnership status and immigration status, as well as people living with HIV/AIDS and recovering alcoholics.
If someone were denied housing because of cancer, it would fall under the disability category. First, however, the plaintiff would have to prove that is actually why she was evicted.
"A landlord isn't required to subsidize a tenant who doesn't pay his or her own rent," says Alan J. Goldberg, an attorney at New York firm Goldberg, Scudieri & Lindenberg. "The landlord is entitled to pursue the rent claim even if the person has a disability."
A plaintiff would have to come up with other evidence that the landlord specifically discriminated against him or her because of cancer or another disability. "If the landlord complained that she had medical equipment in her apartment, if she had a support dog, an attendant living with her, too many nurses coming in, hospital bed, anything based on the illness, it would constitute discrimination," Goldberg explains.
Tenants who think they are being discriminated against have a number of options to seek recourse. "Document everything the landlord is doing on an ongoing basis," says Goldberg. "Then obtain an attorney."
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity will take complaints, as well as the New York State Division of Human Rights and the New York City Commission on Human Rights.
"If there's a finding of probable cause, the city and state will pursue penalties," Goldberg says. Complainants also have the option of pursuing a private civil suit.

Anyway I finally found this zip file which has generic Conexant drivers for Conexant ADSL Runner models and it is supposed to work on Win98, WinME, XP and 2000 (but not NT). I am running a ME upgrade on top of Win98SE and it's worked like a charm, I hope it helps!

TULSA, Okla. -- Four players scored in double figures as Weber State won a Bracketbuster road win 70-66 at Oral Roberts, Saturday night at the Mabee Center. With the win the 'Cats won their seventh straight game and improved to 20-5 on the season, reaching 20 wins for the fifth time in seven seasons under head coach Randy Rahe.
The two teams came into the game were ranked right next to each other in the latest RPI and the game proved to be close all night.
Oral Roberts held a 36-29 lead at halftime and the Wildcats had nine turnovers in the first half and allowed the Golden Eagles to shoot 56 percent from the field.
The 'Cats responded in the second half and shot 68 percent from the field, including knocking seven three-pointers in the half. With ORU leading 42-37 with 16:35 to play, Weber State went on an 11-0 run over the next four and a half minutes. Jordan Richardson had back-to-back three-pointers to give WSU a 48-42 lead with 12:19 to play.
The Golden Eagles responded with a 7-0 run of their own and held a 51-48 lead with 9:51 to play. That's when the Wildcats had a 13-4 run and took a 61-55 lead with 5:45 to play. The 'Cats were able to knock down their free throws down the stretch and hold on for the win.
"We didn't look good in the first half but we really fought hard in the second half and came back looking like ourselves," said WSU head coach Randy Rahe. "We struggled in the first half to hold on to the ball and kind of shot ourselves in the foot with the turnovers. We came out and really shot well in the second half and I was proud of how they responded on both ends of the court against a really talented team."
For the game the Wildcats shot 54 percent from the field and continue to lead the nation in field goal percentage. WSU also outrebounded Oral Roberts 26-23 and improved to 19-0 when outrebounding the opponent. Weber State was 9-17 from three-point land and was 9-11 from the free throw line. The Wildcats also had 17 assists on the night.
Junior Kyle Tresnak led the way with 20 points, the fourth time this season he has reached 20 points in a game. He was 10-18 from the field and pulled down five rebounds. Senior Scott Bamforth added 16 points on 5-7 shooting, including four three-pointers and also had four assists.
"We weren't ourselves in the first half but we knew if we kept it close we would have a chance in the second half and that's what we were able to do," Bamforth said.
Richardson also knocked down four three-pointers and finished with 12 points and Frank Otis added 11 points and five rebounds. Davion Berry had seven points and seven assists.
Oral Roberts was led by Shawn Glover, a former University of Utah player, who posted 16 points for the Golden Eagles.
The win improved the Wildcats' all-time record to 2-2 in Bracketbusters games and was their first road win, in the final season of the Bracketbusters.
Weber State will now return to conference play next week with games at Sacramento State and Northern Arizona. WSU has just four Big Sky games remaining in the regular season.

Hypotheses concerning the diet of early hominids have played an important role in discussions on human evolution. Three investigations have helped define the extent to which dietary hypotheses may be taken and still be testable. Comparative anatomy is a fairly coarse approach, which despite convergences allows only the most specialized diets to be ruled out. A biomechanical analysis makes it clear that the changes in jaw and tooth form are subtle and outside the resolution given by present understanding of cranial function. Analysis of the microscopic tooth wear of extant species has been carried out. Major dietary types can be distinguished by their microwear. The microwear on fossil hominids appears to rule out certain diets that have been proposed for them.

Where I stayed
We drove out to the Hoover Dam today. WOW! It seems so much bigger than the pictures. When we got there is was 104 degrees but it was like being in an oven. No humidity.
We toured the power plant and saw the generators. We got to walk through some of the original diversion tunnels (these diverted the Colorado River while the dam was built) and went to the generator room. The giant turbines are amazing. There are two of these rooms. One on the Nevada side and one on the Arizona side. Much of the water and power goes to Southern California but is also routed to Arizona and Nevada.
Lake Mead was also awesome. The water really looks out of place in the landscape and when I asked about the level, the guide said it was low but there was still 109 feet to the bottom
We took a bit of a detour coming back but got to see the local neighborhoods. The houses are really nice and there is no grass so no mowing the lawn. We also found a Target so the peanut butter and jelly is restocked and we're ready for more adventure.
Off to the Grand Canyon tomorrow. We'll update you soon.
We miss everyone and hope you're enjoying our trip. We love hearing from you!

An April to Remember
April is always a show stopper in terms of wildlife encounters in the African Safari Serengeti and the last two weeks of April were certainly no exception. African Dream Safaris clients and safari consultants were treated to spectacular encounters with the Great Migration: the herd sizes were so vast that they defied description. The mega herd easily comprising a million wildebeest were concentrated primarily in the Matiti and Macau plains in the south eastern Serengeti. This herd stretched west to Ndutu and Lake Masek thrilling clients who were staying in the lodges and tented camps in these areas. Yet just when you thought you couldn't possibly count any more wildebeest and zebra, ADS clients exploring the Barafu kopjes and those adventuring even further east past Nasera Rock through to the beautiful and evocative Angata Kiti Plains were taken aback at the vast numbers of animals in this area. It was a delight to see so many healthy and robust looking wildebeest calves ranging in age from 3-13 weeks of age. Plains game such as eland, Thompson's and Grant's gazelle were also plentiful.
Big cat lovers were not disappointed with the frequent sightings of both nomadic and pride lions particularly around Gol and Sametu kopjes. Cheetah were a relatively frequent sight in the plains and a number of African Dream Safaris clients witnessed successful hunts starting with the stalk, chase and concluding with the kill and subsequent feasting. While this aspect does not appeal to everyone, it was rewarding to see the endangered cheetah, limited to around just 500 in the entire Serengeti, thriving. Leopard were spotted in the Seronera Valley as were members of the Maasai Kopjes and Makoma Hill Lion Prides.
Large breeding herds of elephant were in the Lobo and Seronera Valleys. Moru kopjes had a number of sizeable families while one particularly large breeding herd of about 300 family members kept photographers in the Macau plains busy for hours.
Giraffe and impala were plentiful in all of the acacia woodlands and bird lovers were treated to the sight of many colorful migrants enjoying their last few weeks before beginning on their long journey home across the relentless sands of the Sahara and back to Europe. In our last blog entry we mentioned clients often asking just how close you get to the lions, cheetahs and the like. Here's our answer:

Family demand answers from NHS after woman dies at home
The family of a great-grandmother from Kent who fell over at home and later died, say they feel let down by the NHS. Christina Segan dialled 999 when her mum became ill but was told an ambulance would not be sent. An out-of-hours doctor was then called and visited, prescribing pain killers. But a few hours later, Daphne Huckstepp died from a heart attack. Tom Savvides has been talking to the family.

Young children call 999 to help injured mum
A young brother and sister have been praised by paramedics for dialing 999 when their mother injured her head. James Dean, who's 7, and his 6-year-old sister Annabelle raised the alarm when mum Stephanie fell off a chair in her garden in Kent. The swift actions of the two youngsters meant an ambulance was dispatched to take their mother to hospital. Tom Savvides has this report.
Hoax caller who rang Wiltshire Police 30 times arrested
A 15-year-old girl from Westbury has been arrested after making 30 hoax calls to Wiltshire Police.
Most of the calls contained abusive and threatening language and during one of them, another caller who was in a genuine emergency only had seconds to tell operators her address.
If the operator had been delayed in answering this call, the consequences could have been tragic.
Operational Policing Superintendent Gavin Williams said, "The time wasted on dealing with hoax calls can mean the difference between life and death for people genuinely trying to contact us."
Wiltshire Police take on average 250 999 calls each day, with only a handful of them being urgent.

Science fiction novels, like detective novels, tend to beget sequels, which, if successful, beget long-running series. But while each book in the typical series starring a popular detective can be read on its own, many science fiction series are actually multivolume narratives whose later volumes are all but unintelligible if read out of order.
A case in point is THE RINGWORLD THRONE (Del Rey/Ballantine, $23), by Larry Niven. For more than three decades Mr. Niven has been setting stories in what he calls Known Space, a far-future universe with a distinctive and complicated history. The centerpiece of this universe is the Ringworld, a vast hooplike artifact whose inside surface is home to some 30 trillion sentient beings. In previous novels like ''Ringworld'' and ''The Ringworld Engineers,'' Mr. Niven worked out the architecture and engineering of this stupendous creation -- which is a million miles wide and 600 million miles around -- and enmeshed its enormously varied inhabitants in round after round of interlocking conflicts.
Readers who remember Ringworld from earlier encounters will no doubt relish the latest installment of the saga. But Mr. Niven, whose characters spend virtually all their time solving puzzles posed by their surroundings, has apparently given up on trying to provide a coherent synopsis to new readers. Despite the inclusion of a slim glossary and a scantily annotated character list, I cannot imagine anyone unfamiliar with the previous novels making sense of ''The Ringworld Throne.'' This is a shame, because some of Mr. Niven's inventions, like the corpse-eating hominids who are respected rather than reviled for their key role in the Ringworld ecology, are worth getting to know.
BLAMELESS IN ABADDON (Harcourt Brace, $24), by James Morrow, is a sequel that can be read with pleasure quite apart from its predecessor, ''Towing Jehovah.'' The earlier work dealt with the discovery and disposition of the two-mile-long frozen carcass of God, who appeared to be either dead or in a coma. The pleasure that Mr. Morrow took in plumbing the theological and sociological ramifications of this discovery was contagious.Continue reading the main story
In the deftly handled opening chapter of the sequel, a narrator who identifies himself as the Devil tells us all we need to know about past events, including the crucial fact that the Corpus Dei -- now the main attraction of a theme park called Celestial City USA -- is being maintained in a comatose state by the world's largest life-support system. Enter Martin Candle, age 49, Justice of the Peace of Abaddon Township, Pa. In performing his professional duties, Candle believes in letting rewards as well as punishments fit the deed. When the eccentric Corinne Rosewood is charged with disturbing the peace for planting a patch of catnip that rouses the town's felines to a ''nightly bacchanal,'' he offers to reduce her $250 fine by $50 if she will have dinner and a show with him. Following the briefest of romantic idylls, he discovers he has metastatic prostate cancer and she dies in a car crash.
As a latter-day Job, Candle knows injustice when he sees it. But instead of merely lamenting his fate, he files a complaint against the comatose Deity in the World Court at The Hague, seeking no less than the death penalty for crimes ranging from the infliction of momentary pain on innocent babies to the Holocaust. Arrayed against Candle and his prosecutorial team is a glib Christian apologist in the C. S. Lewis mold who recycles all the traditional theological arguments for God's goodness in the face of manifest evil. Of course, by manifesting the 80-million-ton Divine Body, the author forestalls any argument that finds the existence of evil sufficient grounds for doubting the existence of God.
In spinning out this tale, Mr. Morrow avoids the twin pitfalls of whimsy and pretension. He even manages to generate suspense about the outcome of the trial while playing with such verbal conceits as ''gomorry'' -- the rare but logical correlate of sodomy -- and, inevitably, letting the Devil get the best lines: ''I am the Father of Lies. Over the years, my children have done me proud. I shouldn't play favorites, but I am especially pleased with 'The meek shall inherit the earth.' ''
C. J. Cherryh is a prolific writer, many of whose stories share a complex far-future background in which powerful forces jockey for control of the galaxy. Her most recent series -- which begins with RIDER AT THE GATE (Aspect/Warner, paper, $5.99) and continues with CLOUD'S RIDER (Aspect/Warner, $22) -- takes place on a world that bears no obvious connection to her previous work. Readers who want to sample her gift for creating credible alien-human relationships can start here without the need for glossary or synopsis.
The concept underlying the new series is simple enough. Human colonists have been stranded on a planet whose native life forms, while lacking higher cognitive abilities, are linked by telepathic ''sendings'' that transmit sensory images colored by strong emotions. One alien species, the ''nighthorse,'' readily bonds with humans in a kind of mutual protection society: nighthorses shield their riders from the planet's mind-clouding predators, while humans provide their mounts with food and shelter during the planet's fierce winters. Once bonded, nighthorses and humans develop a profound companionship more satisfying than either can know in isolation.
The plot of the two books, which actually form one seamless narrative, concerns the testing of a young rider named Danny Fisher, his fateful encounter with an older rider named Guil Stuart, the appearance of a rogue horse whose disjointed sendings can drive entire villages to madness and death, and the discovery of an even more frightening adversary in the sparsely populated High Wild.
Ms. Cherryh obviously knows where her strength lies. Her long, unhurried sentences keep digging deeper and deeper into the ''sense of whereness'' that nighthorses and humans share. So obsessive is her focus on this phenomenon that she has little patience for such details as the physical appearance of her characters, human or alien. Even after reading 800 pages I have no clear notion of what nighthorses look like, nor could I draw a reliable map of the all-important walled towns that offer uneasy bulwarks against alien predation. But these are minor quibbles in light of the author's ability to plug the reader into the ''ambient'' -- an all-encompassing awareness of their surroundings that nighthorses project around them, a jumble of sendings that range from the fearful hunger of the smallest vermin in the fields to the insistent ''wantings'' of strong-willed, if not necessarily clearheaded, humans. Under Ms. Cherryh's spell, I came to understand the sense of loss that riders feel when they are separated from their mounts. As one rider says about some unfortunate townsmen who never experience the ambient: ''You could blame practically any craziness on the fact they didn't know, never knew, only guessed what another man wanted, or what he was about to do. Hell of a way to live.''Continue reading the main story
