HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

Mukwonago boys, Arrowhead girls claim Classic 8 titles
Waukesha - The Classic 8 Conference track meet was a story of joy, pain and rain.
The joy could be seen all over Vince Komar's face. The Mukwonago boys coach is as enthusiastic as they come about the sport and after snapping Arrowhead's streak of four straight titles, he was understandably pleased.
"The kids have really started to tighten up, and their performance today showed it," he said. "I said, 'Don't worry about your times. Compete.' It's all about places here."
On the other side was Arrowhead girls coach Steve Kostka. The Warhawks dominated, scoring 188 points to capture the title at Waukesha North and wrap up another triple crown. The victory, however, was tempered by the death of a longtime supporter of the program and the father of one of the boys on the team.
News of his death filtered through the Arrowhead boys, girls and coaches during the meet, which was run in an almost constant rain. He was particularly close to the team's sprinters.
"He was a very good friend of mine, so I'm not super excited," Arrowhead coach Steve Kostka said. "They're a great family. Great kids."
Arrowhead won seven events with its talented distance crew leading the charge. Natalie Burant just missed a state best in the 3,200 meters (10 minutes 57.64 seconds), and Jackie Dubnicka led a 1-2-3 finish in the 1,600 with a winning time of 5:08.60. The team also went 1-2 in the 300 hurdles with Kathleen Wartman winning 47.47 seconds.
The squad also got season bests from pole vault champion Taylor Amann (12 feet) and the 3,200 relay (9:53.05).
Kate Novacek capped the meet by coming from behind to edge a Waukesha West runner in the 1,600 relay to give her team another victory.
"To see her drive home at the end was kind of indicative of the way my team is," Koskta said. "Just go after it and go get it."
Mukwonago, meanwhile, won four events. Jeremy Harr set the tone by winning the triple jump with a mark of 46-3 on a jump he made in the final.
"That set a little tone there," Komar said. "It might be crappy weather, but it's game on and that made its way all the way inside to the pole vault. . . . Our guys really electrified off that. They're like 'This is our weather. We're mudders.' "
The Indians' Matt Green and Harr went 1-2 in the long jump. Mike McClain tied for the pole vault title (13-0), and the 800 relay won in 1:32.73. The team also scored big in the 100, where Ty Behling and Dominic Cizuaskas finished 2-3.
"Big. That was huge, really, really good," Komar said of the sprints. "And then the other guys started believing, and I said 'Guys this is our year.' "
Despite the rain, there were plenty of top performances.
Waukesha West senior Hannah Rohde won the 100 in 12.26, the 200 in 24.8 and the 400 in 59.09. She already owns the state's top 400 time. Her 100 would have been the fastest electronic time in the state, while her 200 time would have ranked second, according to the honor roll entering the day.
Double individual winners included Kettle Moraine's Mac Riedy (shot put and discus), Muskego's Xavier Jansen (100 and 200), Catholic Memorial's Joe Novak (800 and 1,600) and Kettle Moraine's Alex Sharrock (110 high and 300 intermediate hurdles).
Sharrock's time of 38.76 in the 300s improved on his state best, and Jansen beat Catholic Memorial standout Sam Tiahnybik in the 200 in 22.05, which would have ranked fifth in the state entering the day. Novak's 1,600 of 4:18.42 would have ranked No. 1 in Division 2.
On a state level Harr made the biggest impression for Mukwonago. He is still ranked No. 2 in the state but with a 46-3 in the triple jump inched closer to state leader Keyshawn Davis of Milwaukee King.
The effort helped the Indians get past their longtime rivals, but this isn't a cut-throat competition. Komar and Arrowhead coach Chris Herriott are friends and as they parted ways Thursday, Komar hugged Herriott and offered his condolences and prayers.
"Those guys are like our brothers," Komar said.
Team scores - 1, Mukwonago 164; 2, Arrowhead 118.5; 3 (tie), Waukesha South and Kettle Moraine 99; 5, Waukesha North 72.5; 6, Muskego 58; 7, Catholic Memorial 46; 8, Waukesha West 37.

Strategies for Getting Started in Real Estate HTML version
Getting Stareted in Real Estate
All of the above people can be any of these: information resources, bounty
hunters, assistants, educators, specialists, net workers, referrals, facilitators,
strategists, tacticians, problem solvers, buyers, sellers, partners, friends, tenants.
Real estate is a people business. Start out on the right foot and acquire and
organize your network of professionals.
There are a few different ways to begin finding good service providers; one of the
best ways I know is to ask appraisers who they would recommend if they needed
certain things done themselves. Appraisers know value and they also know those
who do good work. Ask them for a referral and follow up on it. Be sure and
mention that "so and so" has sent you. This way, in a sense, you are getting a
somewhat personal introduction from someone they trust. The appraiser also gets
bonus points for turning them on to a new customer—you!
Here is another sweet deal: Look for air conditioning, plumbing, and electrical
service trucks parked along side streets in your own neighborhood. These are
where the blue-collar technicians live. Since you are their neighbor, you can begin
asking them if they do side jobs (most do) and when they do, they chop off all the
company overhead often resulting in discounts of 40 to 50 percent of what
normally would be charged if you went through the front office to schedule those
same services. If you have time, you might go here and read an article I wrote on
this to give you a little more understanding on this:
Nobody seems to have enough! At least in the beginning anyway, there are so
many ways to get the money that this little report could turn into a book the size
of a New York phone directory if we explored all the potentials. Just remember
this: When you find property that is being sold far below its true market value and
you can present a solid plan for getting its full market value, people who have
money sitting in banks and dead equity in their houses (home equity loans) that
could be generating returns of 10 to 15 percent if they loaned it to you instead, will
listen to what you have to say. You must present the plan and it has to make

The Federal Reserve system was designed to be independent to limit political influence on monetary policy
Controlling the system and monetary policy in the U.S. is the responsibility of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve. Each member of the Board of Governors is selected by
a President and confirmed by the Senate to serve 14 year terms
. Twice a year, the Chairman of the Board of Governors must report to
and one of those times he presents an annual report that includes independently audited financial statements of the entire system. The Board of Governors is a 100% government agency.
The President also chooses who will be the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Board of Governors. Members of the Board of Governors are not allowed to hold any office, position, or employment in any member bank. It is the primary responsibility of the Board of Governors to set monetary policy.
In addition to monetary policy responsibilities, the Federal Reserve Board has regulatory and supervisory responsibilities over banks that are members of the System, bank holding companies, international banking facilities in the United States, Edge Act and agreement corporations, foreign activities of member banks, and the U.S. activities of foreign-owned banks. The Board also sets margin requirements, which limit the use of credit for purchasing or carrying securities.
Beneath the Board of Governors, there are 12 Federal Reserve district banks. These are setup similar to corporations, but there are differences that make them sort of a hybrid between private ownership and a federal instrumentality. National banks that are located within a Federal Reserve district are required by law to subscribe to stock in a district bank. The amount of stock each member bank is to subscribe to is set by law to a certain percentage of their paid-in capital. Where a normal corporation has to follow certain procedures to issue shares of stock, the Federal Reserve district banks can issue additional stock whenever a member bank's capital increases or a new national bank is chartered. A state bank may subscribe to the stock if the state bank meets certain requirements. The stock can be thought of as representing a bank's membership in the Federal Reserve system.
Each share of stock has a set par value and that does not change. Each member bank pays the par value for the Federal Reserve district bank stock. The stock of a Federal Reserve bank does not confer any rights of ownership in the bank. The only benefits of the stock are: 1) pays a 6% dividend; and 2) each member bank has ONE vote for the district bank's board of directors. The dividend is to recompense the bank for the loss of use of it's capital. Each member bank gets one vote for six seats on the board of directors regardless of the number of shares that it holds. The other three seats on each bank's board of directors are selected by the Board of Governors. The Chairman and Vice Chairman of these boards of directors are selected by the Board of Governors.
If a Federal Reserve bank were to be dissolved, the member banks would be paid back the amount they paid for the stock plus any unpaid dividend regardless of the value of the Federal Reserve bank. All assets and liabilities would then become the responsibility and property of the U.S. Government. This is significantly different than a private corporation. If a private corporation dissolves, excess assets are distributed to the stockholders.
The Federal Reserve system is also "non-profit". Once expenses have been paid and the set dividend has been paid to the member banks, net earnings are paid to the U.S. Treasury.

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
My fiance and I were together for 13 years and lived together most of that time. We got a nice property together. He kicked me out and I would like to try and get a portion of the property. He had originally agreed to give me a percentage, but then reneged. What type of lawyer would I need?
Probably a real estate lawyer as you could need to file a "partition action" (google it) if your name is on the deed.
If you aren't on the deed, a regular lawsuit for the money he owes you. Any business or contracts lawyer could do that.
I am not on the deed. Also, any idea if there is a time limit on how long I have to file a claim?
The you probably have no right to the property. You were roomates or you were his tenant; neither of those give you any right to the property no matter how long you lived there.
But I helped pay the mortgage, car payments and utilities. In fact, the checking account was only in my name.
Mortgage & utilities - what you paid toward them was essentially your rent.
Making a car payment has nothing to do with where you lived.
You are not married to the property owner, you are not on the deed, therefore you have no ownership interest inthe property. You had 13 years to take steps to get a legal interest. I'm sorry you didn't do so but this is the result.
Okay, thank you for your help.
You might want to contact a lawyer anyway to be sure that your jurisdiction has no recourse in your situation..such as detrimental reliance. Only a local lawyer can tell you that.
However, unless the property was bought a long time ago, it is likely not have any equity, anyway, so there would be nothing there to split. How much is it worth now? More or less than the purchase price?
Don't let yourself be fooled by promises again! Good luck.
It was bought over 10 years ago. And it is definitely worth more than the purchase price. It is a home and seperate lot. So, what type of local lawyer would you suggest that I talk to?
Business lawyer, contracts lawyer, divorce lawyer (even though you weren't married).
Just start calling around until you find somebody to handle it.
It's really just a basic lawsuit for money. Any lawyer can handle it if you are willing to plunk down a few thousand dollars as a retainer because nobody's going to handle it on a contingency.

Early Education in ESEA: Continuum of Learning Act Introduced
Aug 05, 2011
Today, Representative Hirono (D-HI), along with Representatives Jones (R-NC), Young (R-AK), and Polis (D-CO), introduced the bipartisan Continuum of Learning Act of 2011, legislation that would strengthen the connections between early childhood programs, local education agencies, and elementary schools by making changes to Titles I and II of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
While current law permits school districts to use ESEA funds for children from birth through school-entry, there is currently little encouragement to use funds in ways that increase the availability of high quality care. School districts are also not required to provide information on how they use funds to support quality early education. Among other provisions, the Act requires local educational agencies to report for the first time on how Title I funds are being used for children prior to school entry something CLASP has long advocated. This change in reporting will ultimately give the local early childhood community needed information to understand where the most vulnerable children are being served, and to work with schools and school districts to combine funding to increase the availability of high quality care.
The Act also encourages states to take a leadership role in promoting the use of Title I dollars for early childhood programming, in coordination with the local early childhood community. CLASP's research finds that this can be an effective way of leveraging the financing needed to provide high quality full-day and year opportunities for children before the age of school entry.
As Congress considers reauthorization of ESEA, CLASP will continue to advocate for policies that encourage the provision of high-quality programs and services for children beginning at birth.

FDA examines pediatric effect of Roche's Tamiflu today
The Tamiflu discussion is part of a routine review involving eight drugs by the Pediatric Advisory Committee, including Merck's Vioxx (rofecoxib), Pfizer's Diflucan (fluconazole) and Camptosar (irinotecan), GlaxoSmithKline's Imitrex (sumatriptan), Shire's Agrylin (anagrelide), Watson's Ferrlecit (sodium ferric gluconate complex) and Bristol-Myers Squibb's Paraplatin (carboplatin). An analysis from the FDA's adverse-events database revealed 32 cases spanning the first year since Tamiflu gained marketing exclusivity in children; 31 occurred in Japan. Deaths were accompanied by reports of serious skin reactions and neuropsychiatric events, all in children 16 years of age or younger. Roche maintains, in documents submitted to the committee, that the majority of the Japanese children had other conditions, including high fever or influenza, and that there is "no trend leading to concern about Tamiflu use in children." Japan uses most of the world's supply of Tamiflu distributed for seasonal
Worldwide, 13 million young people have been treated with Tamiflu since 1999, 11.6 million of them in Japan. A statement on the FDA Web site before the meeting said, while the high incidence of reports in the country is "unusual," "we cannot conclude that there is a causal relationship between Tamiflu and the reported pediatric deaths." FDA advisory committee members said they would not propose an update to the drug's labeling to address these events. According to Internet and newspaper reports today, committee members were however expected to propose the monitoring of adverse events related to Tamiflu for the next two years and were also expected to propose the addition of warnings to the drug's label to discuss serious skin reactions caused by an allergy to the drug.


text: I have a 1990 Silverado (Ext Cab), V8, auto. It seems that I have heat, a/c & fan but all air is currently going through the defrost. When I push any one of the buttons (there are no knobs) to change from defrost to dash vents or floor nothing happens. I'm not highly skilled but can probably figure this out with a little help. I've seen a number of posts on similar problems but the responses were mostly "I have the same problem" and no concrete answers. So, is there anyone here that can offer some suggestions or fixes? Plus maybe someone could offer a web link to the locations of the components that may be at fault?

The original -outreg- should work fine on Stata 10. It should keep
working for a long, long time.
If you want to try -outreg2-, you should be able to work off from the
following example.
sysuse auto, clear
reg price mpg weight
outreg2 mpg using myfile, bfmt(e) bdec(3) replace 10pct
reg price mpg weight length
outreg2 mpg using myfile, bfmt(e) bdec(3) 10pct
bdec( ) needs to be specified in order to disable automatic formating,
which was ignoring the bfmt(e) input. This will be fixed in the next
-append- and -se- are the default behavior in -outreg2-. You don't
need to specify them unless you want to.
You also don't need to specify -coefastr-. This is the default. But it
should have been made into an undocumented option like the other two,
so it doesn't keep getting rejected.

Engineers play an important role in dealing with extreme scenarios and in efficiently collaborating with all relevant stakeholders to ensure resilience of strategic infrastructure and cities as a whole.
At this popular event, Eelco H. Dykstra MD, Executive Chairman of Daily Impact Emergency Management (DIEM) will provide attendees with a unique and region-specific perspective on emergency management.
To create a sense of co-ownership with the audience, this creative lecture will consist of four interactive parts:
1. Common Frame of Reference
The presentation starts with the creation of a 'Common Frame of Reference' covering issues such as semantics and terminology, formulas, basic principles of risk/crisis communication and a brief forecasting exercise.
2. Nine Universal Roadblocks (NUR) Model
A brief overview of the 'Nine Universal Roadblocks' model will be given. These are universal problems where acceptable solutions have not yet been found and the audience will be asked to prioritise these roadblocks.
3. Reality-fiction Scenario
The audience will be immersed in a "what if…?" scenario and be given an opportunity to offer conclusions and recommendations.
4. Questions and Answers
The lecture will finish with a Q&A session, allowing the audience to discuss any of the points that have been raised.
Follow the booking links to register. Due to the popularity of the event early bookings are recommended.

With thirty years of international emergency management experience in a wide variety of settings and a proven ability to effectively deal with European, US, African and Asian approaches to emergency management systems and their respective stakeholders, Eelco is an acclaimed presenter and motivator, particularly with interdisciplinary, cross-cultural and inter-sector audiences.
Compared to past lectureships, a somewhat different approach has been taken, which puts proactive and interdisciplinary cooperation in front of existing and new audiences, with the aim of establishing a legacy system that will remain active and relevant after the series ends in early 2018. In addition to the lecture, an optional seminar and workshop will be offered at selected locations.
Attendees of the lectures and participants in the seminar and workshop will receive a summary of the results of their feedback in the form of a DIEM Focused Feedback Report/Initial Trend Analysis.

You'd have to be crazy to hook up with an abuser, right? That's what I thought, but after working on our relationship violence story for six months, I was shocked by how smart and cool the women who get fooled are. The thing is, these guys are super charmers, pulling off Oscar-worthy performances of Mr. Dream Dude—at least while they're wooing you. And then, when they've got you madly in love with them, ka-bang, their violent true colors start showing.
The good news: there are definite danger sings a guy is an abuser before he ever raises a fist—and they start with you just having a funny feeling in your pit of your stomach. Because possessiveness and control are major red flags, Cindy Southworth, a VP at the National Network to End Domestic Violence, suggests this little test: "Break a date at the beginning when he's all hot and heavy, and tell him your girlfriend needs you. If he says, I'm disappointed but I understand,' great. But if it's, I can't bear to be apart,' or he makes you feel guilty, puts your friend down, or gets angry, these are not good signs!"
Here are a few other red flags from Southworth and the whole team of experts at the National Network to End Domestic Violence, both for you and—in case you're worried about a friend—for her:
Watch out if your guy:
Also watch out if:
RUN if:
!! You find out he had a violent relationship with a former girlfriend.
!! He stalks you—at work, online, with GPS in your car.
!! He beats up a teammate or has a punch-out in a bar.
!! He's ever been cruel to animals.
!!! He is ever physically violent to you.
And if you're worried about a friend? She might be in trouble if:
Have you or a friend ever witnessed any of these warning signs?

Skipper Matthew Pavlich says Fremantle are in the market for one of the big names floating around during the AFL trade period.
After being knocked out in the semi-finals against Adelaide Crows, club officials have been hard at work attempting to bolster their list.
The Dockers have been linked to Brendon Goddard and Travis Cloke in recent weeks.
While Cloke appears closer than ever to re-signing with Collingwood, Goddard remains a free agent.
"It'll be a great opportunity if the club can procure a player with some experience, wherever that may be from," Pavlich said.
Fremantle recently re-signed forward Michael Walters for two years.

Taste good. As it says in its name you can tell the hops are fresh.
Pours a deep copper color with white head. Room is a little bit grassy and hops and a little malt. Taste is a little bit hoppy but really just kind of the standard pale ale. I expected more. It's good but nothing spectacular.
Enjoyed 46 days before "best by" date. Poured center from bomber into a snifter. Pale copper color with a finger and a half of egg shell white head of mixed size bubbles. A small cone of carbonation emerging from the center, but still has thick retention. Thick sticky lacing. Green hop aroma with a touch of pineapple. Crisp light malt body with dry white crackers. Easy lemon finish with pine and some grapefruit. Straightforward flavor profile. Dry zippy citrus mouthfeel with the bitterness hanging on after drinking. $7.99 a bomber is a good value. Light and easy to drink, although a little too dry for my personal tastes.
10/22/14 at Golden Crust Taproom. 6.1% ABV. 55 IBU. Draft drawn into a nonic pint. Drew a clear, still, medium amber with golden-orange highlights. Arrived with a dense, creamy, 1/2-finger, off-white head that settled slowly to a skinny ring. Left broken curtains of lingering lace. Rather bland nose of dank, grassy hops, faint citrus (grapefruit and tangerine) and toast. Taste of pine, subtle mint, damp earth, leaves, crusty bread, roasted, grainy malts and a kiss of caramel late. Undoubtably fresh! Medium body; silky mouthfeel.
Great hop aroma and flavor, beautiful color. Another knockout by great divide
Well I'm headin down a southern trail I'm goin hop huntin
Grassy hops. Smells like cucumber. Very we'll balanced. Not too bitter very good.
Tastes bitter, grassy and earthy. It was just average though. Nothing made it stand out from the other pale ales.
Extremely fresh and hoppy
I can't get enough of the earthiness with these fresh hopped ales.
This is a fantastic beer. The aroma, the taste, the ability to drink bottle after bottle...the downside is I've only ever found it in the larger 20 or 22oz bottles. I have been unable to find this beer in a 6 pack. As a result its fairly pricey by the oz so it only gets a 3 on the value score. But man it is GOOD.
A 3.5. Nice. Somewhat unusual. Tame hops. Excellent carbonation/bitterness levels. The finish is where this beer really shines. If you pay attention to the ebbing sip as it moves all the way back, there are very nice fruit/allspice notes to be enjoyed.
Looks interesting
Grassy, piney taste. Bitterness sticks with you through the finish.
It's pretty good, but I really don't think they've got their ipa down quite yet. Wasn't impressed, but was satisfied
Great hop aroma and flavor without the bitterness.
great aroma and fresh hop taste
A crisp, refreshing beer. A definite winner. Love the hoppiness. They were out of it on tap when we were there but luckily we scored a bottle out of the cooler. Can't wait until we get back to the Great Divide to try more of their tasty brews!
Hop flavor and aroma hits on the first sip and the aftertaste. Very tasty.
Love the strong fresh hop aroma and intense flavor

Liv Tyler's On The Market
Someone's looking for the next one! Here's Liv Tyler, single and loving it! She made an appearance on David Letterman's show wearing this terrible dress. Ugh, that lace cut-out top. Read aloud everything I'm writing in a Michael Kors voice . She looks like the madam of a Chinese brothel in 1945! What do you think, Nina?
Liv recently axed her marriage to a one-hit wonder leech, and you can tell she's feeling the freedom. She married Royston Langdon of the band Spacehog in the Caribbean in 2003, and they had their son Milo (kickass name) in 2004. And she's had enough. Of the husband, not the kid. He was allegedly sucking her dry of funds.
Smoky eyes and red lips. This elf's on the prowl!

Molik hangs tough

Alicia Molik of Australia in action against Michaela Krajicek of the Netherlands.
Photo: Getty Images
Alicia Molik was forced to fight off a brave challenge from Michaella Krajicek to give Australia an early lead in its second-round Hopman Cup tie against the Netherlands last night.
The Australian broke her opponent in just the second game of the match and raced to a 3-0 lead, which was enough to take control of the first set but it was a much tougher match from that point onwards.
"I felt pretty comfortable out there. I probably could have used my forehand a little more, I was hitting the ball pretty well . . . I was rallying a little bit too much off my backhand side," Molik said.
"I didn't really know what to expect and Michaella came out firing today and it was up to me to really take charge and I don't think I did until late in the second set."
Krajicek, the No. 1 junior in the world, is the sister of former Wimbledon champion Richard Krajicek. Already possessing a mature frame, the 15-year-old appears destined for a powerful game.
But she did find it difficult to contend with Molik's consistent pace and strength.
Molik was forced to fight for every game. Krajicek got the early break in the second set to lead 4-2 before Molik responded.
On several occasions late in the second, especially as the young Dutch girl was fighting to stay in the match at 5-5, she was upset by line calls. The break in her concentration was enough to allow Molik in and she served out the match to win 6-3, 7-5 in 75 minutes.
· Thomas Enqvist has slipped a long way down the rankings since 1999 but the Swedish world No. 73 believes he still has the raw ability to climb back up the slippery pole.
After disposing of up-and-coming German Florian Mayer 6-3, 6-3 in the second round of the Australian Hardcourt Championships in Adelaide, the 30-year-old said he simply needed to regain the consistency that elevated him to No. 4 in 1999.
"Last year I played well and I beat some good players, I felt like my game is still matching up good with other players, but I'm just not consistent enough," Enqvist said.
Enqvist next plays compatriot and No. 2 seed Joachim Johansson, who defeated Xavier Malisse of Belgium 6-7 (4-7), 6-3, 7-6 (7-2) last night.
· Young Frenchman Gael Monfils, who needed a wildcard to enter the Qatar Open, has upset French Open champion Gaston Gaudio 6-4, 7-6 (7-4) to make it into the second round.

The GOP Congress Celebrates Earth Day
CQ Today:
Joe L. Barton, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said Wednesday he is open to moving legislation that would grant the Defense Department leeway in complying with three major environmental laws, a reversal of the position held by his predecessor.
But objections from a key senator could still keep the exemptions from becoming law.
Former panel Chairman Billy Tauzin, R-La., blocked the Pentagon's request for waivers the past two years. Barton, R-Texas, took the helm of the committee, which has jurisdiction over the laws, earlier this year.
Tauzin aides said he was wary of the proposal, which would give the military exemptions from the Clean Air Act (PL 101-549), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (PL 94-580) and the Comprehensive Environmental Responsibility, Liability and Recovery Act (PL 96-510), also known as the superfund law.

Should You Consider a Clinical Trial?
What is ovarian ablation?
Ovarian ablation is the shutdown of ovarian function in order to suppress the production of hormones. Doctors most commonly recommend ovarian ablation to help treat hormone-dependent breast cancer in women who have not yet reached menopause. Because estrogen makes hormone-dependent breast cancers grow, eliminating estrogen production in the body can help shrink breast cancer tumors, prevent spread of breast cancer, and lower the chances of its recurrence.
Ovarian ablation may temporarily or permanently shut down your ovaries, depending on the technique your doctor recommends. If your doctor removes your ovaries or permanently shuts down ovarian production with radiation, you will enter menopause and stop having reproductive functions. This means you will no longer have a menstrual period or be able to get pregnant.
Ovarian ablation is a common but serious medical technique with significant risks and potential complications. It is only one method used to treat breast cancer. Ask your doctor about your options to understand which option is best for you.
Types of ovarian ablation
There are three methods of ovarian ablation:
Medication therapy chemically suppresses the production of estrogen and other hormones from the ovaries. The most common medications used for this purpose are goserelin (Zoladex) and leuprolide (Lupron). Your ovaries may resume hormone production a few weeks to a few months after you stop taking the medication.
Surgery to remove the ovaries is called an oophorectomy. After this irreversible procedure, you will enter menopause, stop having periods, and lose the ability to become pregnant.
Radiation therapy permanently shuts down ovarian function. Doctors rarely use radiation to destroy ovarian function.

Naomi the rabbit was among the well-wishers paying her last respects at an animal lover's funeral service last Monday (9/6/10).
The coffin of John Graham Butler – who ran the Bunny Burrows rescue centre with wife Gwen – arrived in church adorned with carrots, apples and other rabbit favourites.
As mourners left the church, "Run Rabbit Run" played over the speakers.
Mr. Butler died last month aged 65, following a four-year battle with cancer.
Katherine Carr, family friend and lay preacher, paid tribute to the retired soldier and civil servant.
She described him as "completely lovable," adding: "We will treasure the memories of him – a very, very special person."
A number of mourners, including volunteers who help at the rescue centre, wore Bunny Burrows sweatshirts and T-shirts to the service.
Naomi, a dwarf lop-eared rabbit, was carried in behind the wicker coffin.
Mr. Butler came from an Army family. He joined the Royal Signals and served in numerous countries, including Germany, Belgium and Northern Ireland.
He ended up being based at Catterick Garrison, North Yorkshire, where he met his future wife at the Vintage Hotel, Scotch Corner.
They married six months later on Mr Butler's birthday.
Mr. Butler helped his wife take in, care for and rehome hundreds of rabbits and guinea pigs.
Among these was Tallulah, who made national headlines when she had a tummy tuck operation after becoming overweight.
Another Bunny Burrows resident, Phoenix the French lop-eared, who weighed in at 6.3kg, featured on ITV's This Morning in a discussion about obese pets.
Other visitors to Bunny Burrows have included Friday, a miniature lop-eared rabbit, who was spotted by a passing motorist sitting next to a dead guinea pig in a field near Harrogate.
The rabbit was later diagnosed with deadly myxomatosis, but was nursed back to good health by Mr and Mrs Butler. In 1997, their work was featured on Channel 4's Pet Rescue.
Mrs. Butler has vowed to continue running the centre.

Dear listers,
I´ve got a set of data (B,C & D), sampled each month over 16-21 months, for multiple patients. I´m interested in the effect on survival (S) of an intervention-A- that influence the data - B,C and D, but A might also be an independent risk factor in itself. A might be administered multiple times and in different doses during the study, usually based on the value of B.
The main interest is the effect of A on S keeping B,C & D constant. Also the effect of A on B would be interesting.
Any ideas?

Planning Ahead for Crisis Management
It's the nightmare scenario (BusinessWeek.com, 8/3/07) that no business owner wants to imagine: One of your products is recalled due to safety problems or one of your executives is charged with a crime or one of your customers is attacked in your parking lot. Most entrepreneurs have never thought about what they would do in a crisis scenario, but they should, says Devon Blaine, president and chief executive officer of the Blaine Group, a Beverly Hills marketing and public-relations firm that has been in business 30 years. Blaine spoke recently to Smart Answers columnist Karen E. Klein about the unthinkable and how small companies can prepare for it. Edited excerpts of their conversation follow.
How many times over the years has one of the companies you worked for faced a major crisis?Probably a dozen times. Most recently, one of our clients faced the FDA recall of a product they had been importing from China. What's scary is that smaller companies have never thought about something like this happening to them and they have no idea how to respond.
You recommend that every company develop a crisis communications plan. What do you mean by that?I'm not suggesting that you have to run up huge fees with your marketing firm, or take up a lot of time developing a written plan. A plan like this can be very simple—as simple as identifying the attorneys and the other professionals with whom you will interact during a crisis, and knowing where to reach them at night and over the weekend. That could also include executives within your own company. Crisis invariably strikes at 5 p.m. on a Friday.
It also helps if you brainstorm about the kinds of things that could happen to you. Think about what could go wrong, and what you'd do about it, and even if something completely unexpected happens, at least you'll have discussed your response.
What are some of the things you'd need to decide in terms of your response in a crisis?Who handles calls from the press? Is your receptionist going to be the public face of your company? Do your law firm and your PR firm know your company well? Do they know each other? They should at least have met each other and know your company well enough to advise you in a crisis situation.
I got a call at seven on a Sunday night from one of our clients who had just learned that the FDA wanted to recall one of his imported products from China and wanted him to issue a press release first thing the next morning. My first question was, "Do you have FDA counsel?" He did not, nor did he even know where to start looking. I called another client who's been through this, got him some contact information, and by 7 a.m. Monday morning our client had representation from a New York law firm. But that scenario should not have been dependent on my Rolodex.
What about very small companies that don't have a marketing and PR firm on retainer?They'll wind up having to pay an hourly consulting fee to get a professional firm up to speed on their business. The same will happen with the appropriate attorneys, which obviously can be very costly. This is why it's important to have relationships with these professionals before the crisis happens.
What were some of the most challenging aspects of the Chinese product recall case you recently handled?The FDA allowed us to make the recall announcement, so we were able to control that part of it, but we had no control over the media camping out at the company. The CEO did not want to be interviewed, so we issued a formal company statement that had to be approved by the FDA. That happened in about a day and a half, then the FDA posted it on their Web site. Still, both our firm and the company were flooded with phone calls, not just from the international press but also from concerned consumers.
What does a company do when it gets an onslaught of inquiries like that?They are a three-person company, so we handled all the inquiries. There was no way they could do it. They let their phones go to voice mail, and we returned all the calls. We did not talk with the consumers much beyond the formal company statement, because the FDA Web site was full of information about the recall and it was the most reliable guide for consumers. As for the press, a lot of individual questions simply did not get answered. And requests for interviews were declined.
How long did the publicity last?About two weeks. We managed to handle everything for all of our other clients during that time, but about half our time was spent on that situation during that time. We charged an hourly rate to our client, and the fees did get high. The good news is that the company weathered the storm and it didn't go out of business.
How does a company even begin to rebuild its reputation and regain customers' trust after an incident like that?This is the ironic part. Entrepreneurs whose companies normally don't make headlines or play on the evening news envision that the company they've worked years to build is going to go away. But the reality is that while it's a terrible feeling at the time, the publicity suddenly makes your firm larger than life. In many instances, clients we've gone through a crisis with [will] later attract Fortune 1000 customers that would not have known about them any other way.
You mean something that's a short-term negative can turn out to have a long-term positive effect?Absolutely. The negative part fades, and the fact remains that you've gotten the attention of a number of market-makers and potential investors that would never have known about your company otherwise.
One of our clients who had an incident with a Chinese product ended up leading a panel on import safety at a trade show, and got exposure they never would have had before. If you handle the crisis with sincerity and with integrity, that shines through.
What's the best way to respond to a crisis?Honesty is always a good policy. Saying "no comment" is the worst thing you can say to the press. It's just as easy to say, "We're aware of the problem, we apologize for any harm we've caused, and we're taking steps to rectify it." That doesn't say much more than "no comment," but it sure sends a different message. It sounds as though you care, and that's a real important ingredient.
What if there's an ongoing investigation or something else that limits your ability to be fully honest or to talk freely about a crisis?Then you have to talk around the situation or at least around the part of it that you don't know about fully. Sometimes, the FDA does testing that may take weeks and you don't have the results until you have them. The big point is to always, always get back to the press and give them whatever information you can. If you're not able to do that personally, have someone do it on your behalf.
How many firms in crisis wind up going out of business as a direct result?I haven't seen one amongst the companies we've worked with. They have all survived and, in many cases, thrived. I have seen companies go bankrupt after ethics problems, but we haven't had any of those. Two of the firms we've handled crisis communications for sold to other companies but neither of those sales was in direct response to the crisis.
So, the good news is that your worst fears aren't always realized?Definitely not. In one situation, everyone I talked to was positive our client would go under, and they have not.
What additional tips or advice would you give to entrepreneurs who might face a crisis in the near future?Plan ahead. Make sure that your company's financing and your long-term personal financial planning is well-managed, just in case everything does go terribly wrong and you're not able to recover.

While statistically nothing like the goalfest at the Etihad, which took Manchester City briefly ahead of Chelsea in the table, this was an equally open game between two sides supposed to be a world apart in ambition and ability. As the result, uncertain until the end, was also a home win, Jose Mourinho's side went second, two points behind Arsenal, who they play a week tomorrow.
It seemed impossible that the second half could remain scoreless as the ball fizzed from end to end, above all in a manic last few minutes. But Palace, invigorated under their new manager Tony Pulis, could not force an equaliser and Chelsea, well below their best, wasted the chances to apply a flattering gloss to the scoreline.
So all the goals came before the interval, Fernando Torres and Marouane Chamakh balancing things out before Ramires struck what proved to be a winner. Whereas Chamakh's effort was his third in successive games, Torres still has only two in the League and together with Demba Ba, who came on towards the end, and Samuel Eto'o, who did not, Chelsea's £62 million strikers have mustered a mere five between them.
Palace have tightened up in defence since Fulham put four past them at Selhurst Park, prompting Ian Holloway's exit. Apart from delayed reactions when Torres nipped past them to score, the journeymen Danny Gabbidon and Damien Delaney handled themselves well and near the end Julian Speroni pulled off some heroic saves.
Palace, who have not won here since 1982, lost the powerful South African midfielder Kagisho Dikgacoi in the first quarter of the game, but young Stuart O'Keefe proved a worthy replacement as the visiting midfield fought hard to prevent Eden Hazard and Willian, who was given the central midfield role behind Torres, ever taking complete control.
"The result could have been 5-1 or 2-2," Mourinho said, without admitting that the latter had been far more likely. Pulis could only see positives in Palace's effort and performance. "We were a little bit on the back-foot in the first half but in the second half we pushed up and to be still in the game in the 94th minute was a credit to us," he said.
Chelsea having conceded nine times as many goals as yesterday's opponents in the last five games (nine against one) was one of the season's more unlikely statistics, which was terminated when they took the lead after a dull opening quarter of an hour. Speroni only managed to push Willian's drive onto a post and his defenders let him down in being far slower to follow in than Torres, who was there first to collect a tap-in.
The game was all the better for it, especially when Palace equalised. Chelsea had just seemed to be finding their rhythm, as Juan Mata's clever flick allowed the rampaging Branislav Ivanovic to drive a shot just past the far post, and Michael Essien shot wide from outside the penalty area.
Just before the half-hour, however, the visitors produced a fine move across the width of the field, begun by Chamakh, who was then in position to finish it after Jason Puncheon had fed Joel Ward on the left for a low cross. Chamakh's effort may have been slightly mishit but was still good enough to beat Petr Cech.
If that ensured that Chelsea would not improve on a poor League record of only one clean sheet since September, they did have the lead back within five minutes. Hazard had the better of Adrian Mariappa, not for the first or last time, and cut the ball back for Ramires to hit fiercely and with curl on it, Torres doing his bit by ducking out of the way.
The second half was played at a furious pace, and it was Palace who forced all the chances until the last 10 minutes. Cameron Jerome shot over the bar, Puncheon's shot on a classic counter-attack was beaten away by Cech and then his free-kick after Essien's foul led to a header by Delaney, clutched gratefully by the goalkeeper. With the vociferous visiting supporters behind Cech's goal refusing to lose hope, Yannick Bolasie, on as a substitute, could not direct his header low enough and then Chelsea somehow survived an astonishing scramble.
Cech saved low down from O'Keefe, Ivanovic bravely blocked the midfielder's follow-up and from the subsequent corner Delaney's header slid only just wide of the near post. Chelsea had been attacking too, but without threatening until the last few minutes. After Oscar forced the ball forward, Ramires had only to roll it square to one of two colleagues, but allowed Speroni to parry. The goalkeeper then brought off an astonishing double save from André Schürrle and Ba.
Mourinho has said it would be "unacceptable" to finish the season without a trophy but his side will have to be sharper than this, starting in the Capital One Cup at Sunderland this week.
Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Cech; Ivanovic, Terry, Luiz, Azpilicueta; Ramires, Essien; Mata (Oscar, 61), Willian (Schürrle, 80), Hazard; Torres (Ba, 83).
Crystal Palace (4-4-1-1): Speroni; Mariappa, Gabbidon, Delaney, Ward; Bannan (Bolasie, 50), Dikgacoi(O'Keefe, 24), Jedinak, Puncheon; Chamakh (Gayle, 88); Jerome.

Full disclosure: the first time I became aware of the Elmo phenomenon I thought the bright red monster Muppet was an abomination: a knock-off of my beloved Grover who had been designed in a marketing lab by black hat focus groups in order to create the ultimate money making machine. These were strong, ignorant opinions based on nothing more than nostalgia and an allergic reaction to anything that can be that damn happy all the time.
Being Elmo is a documentary that follows the life of Kevin Clash, the man behind the Muppet, whose lifelong fascination with puppets began at an early age. While many children exposed to Sesame Street make their own stab at puppetry, Clash was dedicated to the craft in a way that marked him for greatness.
The documentary draws from a treasure trove of material that includes deep Henson archives containing behind-the-scenes footage of the making of Sesame Street and Labyrinth, as are the personal photos of the Clash family and the requisite interviews with family members and co-workers. The magic of the documentary comes from the story of how Clash began his on-screen work as a puppeteer -- on the local Baltimore CBS affiliate's TV show Caboose -- and the surprising film footage of a young Clash at the dawn of his career.
Director Constance Marks skillfully uses this material to craft dramatic, emotional moments out of the history, and sets up tense questions about Clash's destiny in interviews laid over mildly animated photographs that are resolved through archival evidence. It makes for a thrilling, emotional exploration of what is truly a remarkable life.
The film makes it clear that Elmo, a character that Kevin Clash adopted from another performer who couldn't quite get the Muppet to work, comes from a pure place in Clash's soul. Yet the responsibility of being the man behind children's most popular Muppet comes with a personal toll which the film touches on. While not plumbed at great depths, the costs that his demanding career laid on Clash are accounted for in the form of a divorce and the time spent away from his daughter.
Elmo is love. While the Muppet embodies the unvarnished love of a child for the world, it is born of the love that Kevin Clash has of puppetry and the power that craft has to connect with children's -- indeed all of our -- sense of wonder.
By the time the new documentary, Being Elmo, had finished unspooling, I had wept like a baby no less than three times. And now I too can't help but love Elmo.
Being Elmo, directed by Constance Marks and narrated by Whoopi Goldberg is in theaters today.

BCHS Wins Peninsula Bragging Rights
Turran Rhodes arrived on the Beach Channel football team patiently waiting for his opportunity. The sophomore was not on the top of the runningback depth chart to begin the season but he felt his time would come sooner or later.
The right time for Rhodes to shine was in the peninsula rivalry game at Far Rockaway last Sunday afternoon.
Rhodes got plenty of touches to make an impact. The sophomore broke a tight defensive struggle with 22 rushes for 140 yards and scored the lone Beach Channel touchdown as the Dolphins won the game, 8-0, and bragging rights.
Rhodes says the future is bright for his team, who improved to 3-6 on the season. The team will only lose a few seniors from this year's squad. With experience under their belt, Rhodes hopes they could turn things around in 2008.
"I didn't expect to get as much carries as I did," Rhodes said. "But stuff happens; I was patient and got carries at the end of the year with the help of my o-line (offensive line).
Despite the teams already being eliminated from the PSAL city championship or the bowl playoffs, this regular season finale was a tough and physical affair.
Beach Channel's offense looked like they were stuck in traction in the first half. The combination of not moving the football and a hardened Seahorses' defense left the Dolphins searching for answers in the second half.
Beach Channel put their money on Rhodes, a 5 foot 7, 155 pound sophomore who leapfrogged injured starter Tyrek Mceachin, who ran for 1,000 yards last season, into the lineup.
The Seahorses had their best opportunity to score in the beginning of the third. But the drive stalled and ended when Beach Channel's defense stripped RB Gregory Ibe's second fumble of the game on fourth down and 5 on the Dolphins 9-yard line.
Zachariah Alston recovered the ball and the Dolphins offense got to work.
Rhodes carried the ball seven times on a 91-yard scoring drive as the third quarter ended and the fourth began.
"The turnover did it. The momentum was on our side. We just had to feed off that energy," Rhodes said.
Rhodes then finished off the drive with a burst up the middle of the field for an 18-yard touchdown with 10:08 left in the fourth quarter.
Michael Higgins leaped high into the air and snared the two-point conversion for the 8-0 lead. Seahorses head coach Walter Wilkerson pointed out that touchdown drive was a turning point.
Once they scored the touchdown and the two-point conversion, that play literally and if I have to make an analogy; if we were the balloon, someone popped the balloon and sucked the air out of us," Wilkerson said. "But we still had our chances."
And the Seahorses, who fell to 2-7 for the second consecutive year, did have their chances. Their defense intercepted QB Ben Burrello twice in the game. The offense did move the ball at times. RB Davonne Gittens carried the ball for 88 yards in his final game of his career. But they just couldn't put together their positives to apply some points on the scoreboard. Earl Armstrong, a four -year player and DB Patrick Hernandez will be a few of the seniors, that will depart on the losing end of a tough battle.
Dolphins JV Beat Far Rockaway
Beach Channel QB Darryl Sanford rushed for a touchdown and threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to WR Cristian Saravia in the first quarter to give the Dolphins (7-0) a 14-0 win at FRHS (3-3) last Saturday. The Dolphins can complete an undefeated season when they host 6-0 Campus Magnet on Sunday at 11 a.m.

List of Thankfulness Friday!!Friday, December 23, 2011
Hello, Lovely Friend! I apologize for my lack of posts lately. Like I have mentioned on twitter & facebook, I came down with all kinds of nasty winterized sickness. I rushed to the doctor yesterday only to find out that I have walking pneumonia, an extreme sinus & ear infection, and a kidney infection. GROSS. Thanks to a steroid shot, a super powered antibiotic shot, and some sugar free strawberry lozenges, I'm feeling MUCH better after only one day in bed.
I was actually supposed to go out of town with my boyfriend for the holidays, but I had to cancel our plans because of my illness. Fortunately, my sister gave me an amazing flat screen tv for my bedroom. I'm snuggled up in bed with George, watching all of our favorite movies on Netflix while composing this blog post. I'm feeling pretty grateful for all of my blessings right now and thought it was the perfect time to compose a gratitude list.
My friends...for all of their support & love. I seriously have the most amazing people in my life. They never fail to make me smile, cheer me up, and fill my days with sunshine. I absolutely adore my lovely friends.
My Mom...for taking care of me all the time, especially when I'm under the weather.
Little Bursts of Thank-ful-ness!!
Red velvet cupcakes, Christmas movies on Netflix, hot tamales, baking parties with my favorite people, going on a Christmas light tour date with Zeth, We Rule for iPhone, cooking my sister's recipe for beef tips over rice, being told I'm an organizational wizard by my OCD grandmother, gingerbread houses, "ginormo starbucks drinks" in the words of my mom, hot pink Christmas trees, The John Rutter Christmas Album, cinnamon sticks, holiday cookie scented candles, pink sugarplum hand lotion from Bath & Body Works, going to see Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows, silver and magenta tinsel, holiday cookie dough, my heating blanket, spending time with my mom, Tarte Lipsurgence Lip Pencil (my absolute favorite lip stain & chapstick in the world), loaded potato soup, tea roses, building fires in our fireplace, and snuggling with my sweet pets on a cold night.
What are you thankful for, Lovely?
Lots of positive vibes & warm fuzzies,

If by MNL you mean multinomial logit (McFadden's choice model), I think
the proper command is -clogit-.
In general when running choice models (for experimental designs) it is
common to interact your demographics with one of the attributes, so you
can get some variation (the characteristics of an individual do not vary
across alternatives so they drop out).

Subject: st: NLOGIT
Dear Statalisters,
I have done a MNL of employment status (4 choices: wage employed,
unemployed etc) with individual specific controls eg sex, education,
age, race etc and in the next stage with only the wage employed run
another MNL of occupational choices (3 choices: skilled, unskilled etc)
with controls like the first stage (not the same though). But I also
want to do a NLOGIT while incorporating all the decisions, so there will
be 6 choices in the bottom set (3 choices out of wage employed, 3
remaining categories of employment status) along with the first set of 4
alternatives. I constructed the data set and the tree is running fine
but I was unable to run NLOGIT and was facing error message. Is it due
to the use of common individual specific variables in both stages? But I
need to have demographic and education variables in both stages. Any
suggestion is highly appreciated. A simple version of the model is as
nlogit choice (occchoice=ageprof ageskl ageuskl agesemp ageunemp agenemp
*/ age2prof age2skl age2uskl age2semp age2unemp age2nemp)
(empstat=ageemp2 ageemp3 ageemp4 /*

CITT built out the University of Colorado Cancer Center (UCCC) website's top-level navigation based on School of Medicine (SOM) templates with a custom header and footer. CITT's main role was to create a cascading style sheet (CSS) and supporting graphics for the Giving to UCCC Section of the University of Colorado Cancer Center website based on the approved Vermilion design.
The original intent of this project was to use the SOM design for the main Cancer Center website. However, UCCC liked the Giving section design so much they requested that CITT transfer the design to the main Cancer Center web site as well. CITT also provided training to the UCCC web master on how to use and apply the new design styles to build out the site content.

Events Edit
- Baghdad is attacked by the Mongols. Baha al-Din Zuhayr (who is either an Ahl-i-Batin or Taftâni scholar) tries to mitigate the damage, but his approach is too subtle and he is gutted and hung.[1][2] The city is taken by the Mongols, which further depletes the Astral Reaches.[3] This event marks the end of the Arabic Golden Age.
- Pope Alexander IV explicitly forbids the Papal Inquisition from investigating charges of witchcraft.[4]
