text: NEW ORLEANS, July 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Treaty Energy Corporation (OTCQB: TECO) ( www.treatyenergy.com), a growth-oriented international energy company, today announced the acquisition of four new Oil & Gas Leases in Eastern Texas, and its plan to re-enter and re-complete the MADELEY F1H well in Shelby County, Texas. Today Treaty Energy Chairman, Andrew V. Reid, is pleased to announce that a major multi-stage acquisition has been signed by Treaty Energy. Mr. Reid believes that this acquisition, upon completion of the multiple stages, will position the company for tremendous growth and allow Treaty to move to a whole new level in the oil industry. (An 8-K will be filed on this acquisition.) This acquisition involves three parties: Jimmy Jones, seller of the CHUMLEY LEASE; 3K Oil Trust, seller of the ISAIAH HILL, MADELEY, and ELLORA LEASES; and Treaty Energy, the purchaser. Total acreage of the four Leases is 580 Acres. Treaty Energy will start to re-enter the MADELEY F1H (API#42-419-31028) well on Monday, July 9th. This well is drilled vertically to the Fredericksburg Zone and initially had a 16ft lateral extension drilled. The driller on this well was permitted by the RRC to go much farther laterally, but due to unexpected increases in well pressure for which they were unprepared lateral drilling was stopped far short of the potential that this well held. Production of this well was 161 BBLS of oil per day at that point. Treaty Energy is permitted by the RRC to laterally drill this well to 1770 ft, but will not necessarily drill that entire length. Treaty currently is planning to drill to 1000 ft, but may drill farther if deemed prudent to do so. The well planners and geologists involved with this well estimate production to be up to 400 BOPD. Re-completion is estimated to take one week. Update will be provided to shareholders upon re-completion.

No they knew exactly what the air-conditioning system was capable of. There was a communications room with a computer that monitored the air system in the stadium, concourses, offices and other areas. They just did it to appease the complainers. Getting it into the media for additional coverage didn't hurt either.
I think its funny and a good way to get in the papers like you said. I am just trying to see someone today saying the the rays beat us because they used the ac to push their balls out and move ours in.
Anyone who claims that today would get laughed at.
In all seriousness the Astrodome did provide a lot of new features not seen in stadiums before besides the domed roof. I've spoken to many people involved with the team and other organizations in those early days. They were amazed at what they saw and it was actually believable that you could have different weather patterns in the stadium. In the early days they ran the air system in the stadium even when there wasn't a game going on to prevent mositure buildup. This used to happen in large zepplin hangers where a light mist would fall because of the large size.
I have heard people talk about it like this stadium was like 10 steps ahead of any other stadium up to that point. With the huge light up scoreboad, the real grass in a dome, then later the astroturf, and being one of the first stadiums to be away from a city to make room for tons of parking. I will alway speak highly of this dome!
There were a few locations considered for the Astrodome but they settled on a 494 acre tract of land six miles just south of downtown where the new Loop 610 freeway would eventually pass by. Much of the land was owned by R.E. "Bob" Smith and he, along with Roy Hofheinz, finished purchasing the rest of the land from the Hilton Corporation. Smith and Hofheinz became the primary owners of the team until a falling out in 1965. Hofheinz envisioned monorails to sweep people from various areas of the parking lots up to the front gates of the stadium. The rail system was never done but they did provide tram service. Half of the stadium was built underground to limit the vertical travel by fans on the ramps. That is why the Dome looks smaller than Reliant Stadium today, which sits just to the west. The playing field inside Reliant Stadium is at street level because it would have cost a lot more money to rip up the sewer and piping systems that were under the parking lot surrounding the Astrodome. Fans are required to walk up three ramps to get to the Main Concourse.
Hey Astros, neat information. I started a thread about the preliminary design ideas for the Cardinals in the mid 90's up until the final choice. I think it's neat to hear about and see "what could have been" whether the designs are not as good as the final product or better. Do you know of any other information or illustrations of early concepts for the Astros Stadium? I'd be interested to see them, whether they are concepts from the early 60's or from the 90's before they built Enron Field/Minute Maid park.
I like the idea for the monorail to go along with the space and future theme of the park, but the tram is much more feasible.
My next question is, if there was no dome for baseball yet, what plans did the astros follow. Did they try to mimic a basketball arena? If not, did the people of houston just have blind faith that this dome would work?
Finally how bad was the glare from the roof? Could players just have worn sunglasses? And was it affecting the fans at all i.e. sunburns or making the stadium too hot?
The glare from the skylight panels (4,596 of them) were designed to diffuse direct sunlight. The dome skylights feature more than 350,000 pounds of acrylic monomer cast in a double layer of sheeting. The outside layer is .250-inch thick clear plastic. The inside pattern acrylic panel is .187-inch thick and is designed to diffuse light. The heavy duty aluminum frame units that encase the skylights at 7 feet 2 inches by 3 feet 4 inches and have a 1.5-inch air space separating the panels. These skylights were to allow natural ligth to filter in without creating shadows from the steel skeleton of the roof. They just didn't realize how bright the glare would be during the day. Sunglasses were used in preseason practices but the glare was too much. Charlie Finley even sent over some orange baseballs and the Astros were given special permission to use them but they didn't work either. The only solution was to paint the skylights. They did this early on in 1965 but had to touch it up again later that season because the glare was still a little strong. Previous to painting the skylights, there was enough sunlight filtering into the Astrodome that they actually played some day games without the stadium lights on. The painting of the skylights cut down almost half of the sunlight although you could still see the difference in sunlight inside when there was a partly cloudy day. It would get brighter and darker, almost like a greenhouse effect. This solution to the glare prompted the invention of Astroturf.
Good thing the astrodome worked as well as it did because I feel like many other domes poped up around the country in 10 or so years following the astrodome. I like the shape of the stadium it still looks futuristic to me like how the royals stadium or the bluejays stadium looks. I am still having a hard time putting myself in a world where domes didn't exist since I was born in 1983. But it sounds like a pretty neat experience.
As for the glare, I just found it odd that there was such a glare and yet the grass in the dome never dried out. But I guess its a good thing because that caused the invention of astroturf which helped with other sports domes.
The huge difference in the Astrodome's roof in comparison to the other domes was the fact that it was designed to let light in. The Superdome, built with the exact lamella frame is covered solid, the Kingdome was solid concrete, the Metrodome is solid fabric and so forth.
I was always curious about this--what was the reason they removed the big gondola that used to be suspended from the Astrodome ceiling? By the time I attended my first and only game there in 1984, it was gone. Did it ever actually serve any useful purpose (besides serving as broadcast perch for Lindsey Nelson)?
That gondola did get removed after a study was conducted about 1980 and they felt it might be too heavy on a long term basis to keep it up there. It had already been hanging there for 15 years. There were no signs of any structure problems in the roof at all. It was done at a time when they were going to begin a number of renovation projects in the stadium.
Very cool thread. I would also like to know if they do tours there.
Jimmy Dugan: Because there's no crying in baseball. THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL! No crying! (Tom Hanks, "A League of Their Own" (1992)
They do tours of the Reliant Park complex (formerly Astrodomain) but I do not think it includes the Dome. I remember making my parents take me on a tour when I was little so I could see that huge scoreboard blast off.
You can still walk the perimeter of the outside and see the dedication plaque at the west gate entrance.
Why don't they do tours, all they use it for is livestock and rodeos right?
The Astrodome mainly houses offices for the Houston Sports and Convention Corporation and Aramark. They are located in the old Astros/Astrodome USA offices. They do not run the stadium air-conditioning like they used to (as it does cost $$$) and I don't think tours would support the cost. They air-condition the office areas only. The large three-turbine air-conditioner located on the east end of the stadium was designed to last 40 years and the Astrodome is 43 as of April 9th (the day it opened). It still runs well but had the Astros stayed it would've needed upgrading or replacement.
The rodeo takes place in Reliant Stadium which sits directly west of the Dome. It has been there since 2003. They use the Astrodome as the "Hideout" which is bascially a huge bar. They put a stage in centerfield, line the floor with some tables and sell beer and drinks. Many people go there as an after-party once the main rodeo performance/concert is done.
Check out this flickr photo stream. The guy who took them did a good job of showing the interior as it is now.

I have a question about the cieling. I know the cieling tiles were painted back in the 60's and astroturf installed, but in these pictures it looks like light is again shining through.
In this photo, from the linked site, it looks like a section is still painted.
Can you explain what the deal is with the roof ?
Take a look at my markings on the photo below and you'll see how the baseball was laid out. The red Field Level seats would move back into baseball configuration.

I've got more or less the same setup (E-PL5, Z-240, D-2000). There are two possible options for you on the Inon strobes. Well, three:
0) Shoot manual
1) Use the E-TTL in which the strobe itself does the exposure. I've never tried this
2) See if, using the right setting of the magnet switch, you can boost the power of the pre-flash so that the main flash does not suck much out of the camera (this means setting the camera and strobe to TTL)
2) is incompatible with 0) which is why I don't use it.
BTW, you're not going to reduce "shutter lag" per se, but you can get the camera to fire more frequently with the 1/64th setting. However, you'd probably still end up with 2/3 of the frames dark since the external strobe won't be able to cycle as fast as the camera strobe (unless you are using very little power).

SYDNEY/WELLINGTON: The Australian and New Zealand dollars took a breather against their US counterpart on Tuesday, while the euro survived a ratings downgrade of France with sentiment bolstered by hopes of a Greek aid deal later in the session.
The Aussie was steady at $1.0413, having gained 1.3 percent since hitting a three-week trough of $1.0287 Friday.
It fully recovered from a brief dip to $1.0398 after minutes of the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) November meeting showed the bank was still open to rate cuts.
Since May, the RBA has lowered its cash rate by a total of 100 basis points, taking it to a three-year low at 3.25 percent.
The RBA said it felt it was appropriate to leave policy unchanged earlier this month due to a pick-up in inflation at home and a slightly more positive global backdrop.
Markets barely moved after the statement, with interbank futures factoring in a 50-50 chance of a cut in December and swaps pricing in a 60 percent chance of an easing .
"The RBA statement was in line with expectations and there was a bit of positive risk sentiment from Europe and the United States," said Euan McCreadie, a senior dealer at OzForex.
Immediate resistance was seen around $1.0420 and support at $1.0375, ahead of $1.0345 with stops eyed above $1.0425 and sellers ahead of $1.0450.
The New Zealand dollar consolidated at $0.8190, just below a one-week high of $0.8204 touched overnight.
Near term support for the kiwi was seen at $0.8150 and below that the 100-day moving average at 0.8130. Once through $0.8200 the topside was seen facing resistance at $0.8230.
The Antipodeans paused against the euro, following a see-saw session after France's sovereign rating downgrade by Moody's to Aa1 from Aaa.
The euro initially fell across the board, sliding 50 pips to A$1.2253 before it bounced back to where it started the session at A$1.2293.
Traders said investors unwound short euro positions ahead of a European finance ministers meeting later on Tuesday that is likely to give the go-ahead for a Greek aid package.
Such an outcome would be euro-positive, according to OzForex's McCreadie, who saw room for the Aussie to test $1.0450-$1.0480 in the next 24 hours.
Against the kiwi, the euro dipped to a session low of NZ$1.5573 before recovering to last trade at NZ$1.5638.
The Antipodeans were hovering near seven-month highs against a soggy yen as expectations of more stimulus by Japanese authorities kept the low-yielding currency under broad pressure.
The Aussie powered up to a fresh seven-month high of 84.80 yen where it ran into a wall of barriers. A break above 84.80 would open the way to test this year's peak of 88.62 seen in mid-March. It last fetched 84.58.
The kiwi popped up to a near two-week high around 66.76 yen and was last at 66.54.
In New Zealand, a bank survey looking at regional growth suggested the economy came close to stalling in the three months to Sept. 30.
The ANZ Bank survey indicated growth of 0.1 percent for the quarter, and without a pick up in the pace of the rebuild of earthquake-hit Christchurch, it probably would have contracted.
The survey is only a rough guide to third quarter GDP data, which is due in late December.
New Zealand government bonds were softer, which resulted in yields rising as much as 4.5 basis points.
Australian government bond futures ran into profit-taking following recent gains, with the three-year contract last down 0.05 points at 97.410 and the 10-year contract 0.07 points lower at 96.925.

Are ALL of the healthiest foods listed on the The World's Healthiest Foods website? NO. There are more, but this is the prime list complied by George Mateljan and his staff of professional health care and nutritional experts.
I would suggest that you buy the book, but it has been so popular that it is totally sold out. However, George and "friends" are working on an updated version which will be published as soon as they complete it to their satisfaction.
The original book quickly became my "cooking Bible". I have cooked several full holiday meals using George's recipes and in every case all of the people who ate these "HEALTHY" (OMG) foods not only praised the cook (me), but most went back for second helpings!
I own the original book and am definitely going to buy the new version when it comes out.
However, what you CAN do now is sign up for the free newsletter which will bring you news about various featured foods plus recipes every single day. That's worth having!
Bear with me - one more post about you and what you eat.........comin' up

Higher & Vocational Education in India
€ 12,99

Sofort lieferbar (Download)
August 2012
BeschreibungSeminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Cultural Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (Fachbereich Wirtschaftswissenschaften, Lehrstuhl für Auslandswissenschaft), course: Advanced Industrial Countries and Emerging Markets - Englischsprachige Kulturen, language: English, abstract: The world of the twenty-first century is witnessing a plethora of phenomena such as the global influence of capitalism, market deregulation, internationalization as well as a demand for skilled workers. While these circumstances portray major economic, cultural and social challenges (Rojewski, 2009, p. 19), the higher and vocational education sector is also stipulated to adjust to those changes. According to Beddie (2009, p. 6) ¿[l]earning is a driver of knowledge-based economies¿. In order to enhance progress and prosperity, India faces a huge challenge in terms of producing human capital, which needs to be employable as well as able to adapt to a rapidly changing economy (Ibid., p. 6). Within the last decades, India¿s largely agricultural-oriented economy has converted into an urban service and manufacturing industry. Heretofore, its higher and vocational education system has failed to respond to that shift (Agarwal, 2010). In spite of India¿s young population, two-thirds of all Indian enterprises have to cope with a shortage of skilled workers (Deutsche Bank Research, 2011, p. 1). This poses a demanding challenge for governments as well as for non-governmental organizations. As Ansari (1991, p. 131) declared: ¿If a country is unable to develop the skills and knowledge of its people and to utilise them effectively in various socio-economic activities, it would be unable to develop anything else. [¿] [T]he promotion of human resources by way of strengthening education system [¿] is a sine-qua-non for national development.¿ With respect to the vital role of education, it is pertinent to ask: How can India improve its higher and vocational education system in order to meet the needs of the labor market? Therefore, this paper will briefly enlarge upon the current labor-market situation in India, before outlining the higher and vocational education system. As those structures interact and are needed to understand the mismatch between the available pool of labor and the demand on the job market, they cannot be looked at separately. Furthermore, this essay will discuss the major problems of Indian universities as well as those of the vocational education system. Subsequently, the paper aims to analyze the potential for improvement in both sectors. After elaborating on the Indo-German cooperation in vocational education as a role model for cross-national cooperation, it will state a short conclusion on how India can educate a skilled workforce.

Seen that in a few other movies as well, for example Shoot'Em Up, where Clive Owen drops a Beretta 92 in a toilet, disassembles and cleans the whole thing, tries to fire it and it won't work, so runs it under a hand dryer in order to get it to finally work. However, I think all this is a load of horse pucky. I mean, there's countless posts on here of "I ran my ammo through the washer, can I still fire it?" and the answer is always "yes", (even washed some Hyrdashok .357's myself and they still worked fine), so I don't think the problem would be ammo related, and other then that what could go wrong? It's not like the hammer's not gonna fall on a 1911 like in No Country or the 92 in Shoot 'Em Up just cause it got wet. Heck, Glocks are sposed to be able to fire underwater!! I don't claim to have first hand knowledge, and have no intention of taking my piece for a swim to try it, but I think that's just Hollywood.
Good movie tho, huh???

Counter Fairy
this wiki
|Counter Fairy
"Guiding Ariadne"
The Counter Fairies are a series of cards introduced in Enemy of Justice. They consist of Fairy-Type monsters whose effects revolve around Counter Trap Cards.
Play style
On their own, the Counter Fairies do not synergize well, but work to support other Fairy archetypes. Their support effects trigger when a Counter Trap successfully activates and/or resolves, and either destroy cards on the field or replenish the player's hand, maintaining card advantage. Counter Traps like "Magic Jammer," "Seven Tools of the Bandit," and "Drastic Drop Off" are best, as the effects of the Counter Fairies will make up for the lost resources used to activate those cards. "Malfunction" and "Goblin Out of the Frying Pan" are also useful; while they do not directly destroy cards, the opponent will have to activate their card again, triggering the effects of the Counter Fairies twice. The "Solemn" series is also useful.
With cards like "Banisher of the Light" and "Banisher of the Radiance", the player can form a loop using "Layard the Liberator". When using a Counter Trap that has a discard cost, like "Magic Jammer," "Divine Wrath," or "Destruction Jammer," the player can discard a Fairy-type monster for the activation cost, then use the effect of "Layard" to return that Fairy to the hand along with another discarded Fairy. The banishment effects of "Banisher of the Light" and "Banisher of the Radiance" will further deprive the opponent of resources as their destroyed and negated cards are banished, while "Layard" keeps returning the player's banished Fairies to the hand for use.
With the introduction of "Guiding Ariadne", Counter Fairies have gained the ability to use any Counter Trap for no cost, due to "Ariadne's" Pendulum Effect. Because of this, even if the player's LP or hand are low, they can still use cards such as "Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell" or the "Solemn" traps without putting themselves at more of a disadvantage.

CUs providing remote deposit capture need fraud prevention processes in place.
Notably, convenience—like being able to do everything using a smartphone—is hugely important to members of the younger generation that credit unions must attract to stay competitive.
"Full-featured mobile banking, including mobile RDC, is no longer a nice-to-have feature, it is a requirement if credit unions want to remain relevant, especially with growing, tech-forward younger generations," asserts Alissa Fry-Harris, director of marketing at CUES Supplier member Bluepoint Solutions, Carlsbad, Calif.
Fry-Harris offers Bluepoint Solutions' top strategies for preventing fraud with mobile RDC:
"The first and best safeguard for the credit union and its members is to set deposit limits," says Fry-Harris. These limits vary widely by credit union, but are often based on such variables as length of membership, type of account and a third-party risk score.
"The second method of mitigation is to allow the mobile RDC system to compare checks received through the mobile channel to all other checks received through any channel and/or to nationwide shared fraud or counterfeit databases," she adds. "This is a secondary line of defense."
Another, longer-term strategy for manag-ing the fraud associated with remote deposit capture is to leverage information about member behavior captured by the app as it is used by members.

Planning with a Prenuptial agreement sometimes called a Premarital Agreement before Marriage is important!. Premarital agreements can provide protection for both parties! Prenuptial agreements generally contain provisions pursuant to the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act and may be downloaded in Word format
How to Create A Prenuptial Agreement
A prenuptial agreement, also referred to as a prenup or antenuptial agreement, can protect you even if you don't have significant assets. With the high rate of divorce today, it makes sense to lay out the expectations of the couple in advance while the relationship is amicable, rather than try to resolve conflicts after a split, when emotions are highly charged, and conflicts may need to be resolved through expensive litigation.
What is a Prenup?
A prenuptial agreement form is a marriage contract that defines how the couple will handles issues such as finances, assets, residence, and care of children and dependents, in the event the marriage ends through divorce or death. Even if you don't have significant assets now, there may be the possibility of an inheritance in the future, a career or business advancement, or other circumstance that changes your financial situation. By having an agreement to contract the rights of the parties, it minimizes the chances of a future dispute or misunderstanding.
How do you get a Prenup
A prenuptial agreement sample can be easily downloaded and prepared from the privacy of your own computer. Our professionally drafted sample of an agreement form can be customized with any terms the couple agrees upon by simply filling in the blanks. US Legal Forms offers a free preview of a sample of agreements before downloading. Some tips to follow include:
Broaching the subject of a prenuptial agreement can be uncomfortable, but it can save you from much aggravation and expense down the road if you don't have one. One can't ignore the legal realities of marriage, it's similar to a business partnership in many aspects. Don't let the emotional and physical aspects prevent you from taking the steps you need to protect yourself legally.

It was the perfect storm of salad fixings. On Wednesday's episode of "The New Adventures of Old Christine," Julia Louis-Dreyfus, as Christine, gloats about all the money she plans to save from sending her son to public school instead of the stuffy private school he attends.
Yes, now she can afford real mayonnaise. "Hellmann's, baby," she says. Oh wait, we have a clip below.
Break to commercial and there's Bobby Flay talking about, you guessed it, Hellmann's. That commercial was followed by another commercial -- this time for Light Hellmann's.
If this extreme product placement worked on you, you'll be happy to hear that Hellmann's is currently on sale 2 for $7 at Pick 'N Save.

The main risk that my colleagues have pointed to is various aspects of financial stability or potential for financial instability. There is always some concerns that, really for any kind of easy monetary policy, that after a period of time there may be some reaching for yield or some misevaluation of assets. And given what happened, of course, just five years ago we're extraordinarily sensitive to that risk.(transcript source)
Now, of course, that's really for different kinds of monetary policy, QE in addition works on term premiums to a significant extent, and we simply have less knowledge information about how term premiums are determined, and therefore there's a little bit of additional concern, volatility associated with the management of QE.
So there are certainly some risks there, our strategy though has been to -- not to distort monetary policy in order to address those risks directly. Indeed, insufficient monetary policy accommodation if it leads to a weaker economy and bad credit outcomes, etcetera is also a financial stability risk.
So our basic approach has been, at least for the first, second, and third lines of defense, to rely on supervision, regulation, monitoring macro prudential policies, and that whole set of tools that we have and our developing to try to avoid potential problems.
We also look very carefully at the implications of any potential kind of financial imbalance. For example, is that asset class heavily levered? Is it supported heavily by leverage which would in turn mean that a sharp drop in that valuation would lead to other types of problems? Those are the kinds of things we look at, and we've greatly increased our ability to monitor and analyze those types of situations.
So our goal is to address financial instability concerns primarily, at least in the first instance, through supervision, regulation, and other microeconomic types of tools. But it is something that I think of the various costs that have been ascribe to QE, I think it's the only one that I find personally credible, frankly. And it's the one that we have spent the most time thinking about, and trying to make sure that we can address it as best we can.
MR. AHAMED: Sort of bottom line for the moment you're not worried about too much froth in financial markets?
MR. BERNANKE: Well, it's always, of course, bad luck to make any forecast about any particular market, but the markets currently seem to be broadly within, you know, the metrics of market valuation seem to be broadly within historical ranges. The financial system is strong. Key financial institutions are well capitalized, so we're watching this very vigilantly.
We've developed a tremendous additional capacity for doing that. But at this point, you know, we don't think that, and I think I can speak for my colleagues in this, we don't think that financial stability concerns should, at this point, detract from the need for monetary policy accommodation which we are continuing to provide.
Meaning the Federal Reserve will keep injecting money (QE) into the system if/when algorithmic and HFT trading robots decide to short stocks and drive prices down every day with all the liquidity. (The market overdoses on QE like the Wolf of Wall Street did in the 1990s). I think the Federal Reserve clearly mismanaged rates when Alan Greenspan lowered the federal funds rate to a record low of 1% in 2003-4, which severely mispriced asset prices and the financial system. So when the Fed started to tighten monetary policy between 2004-2006 and unwind the distortions (which were also fueled by systemic control fraud and the trade deficit with China), the asset and credit markets came crashing down (post: "Beware of the Fed's Next "Conundrum"; Revisiting Alan Greenspan's 2005 Interest Rate Conundrum"). The Fed even mismanaged rates and its balance sheet in 2007-2008, which is a topic for another post. So I'm glad Bernanke realizes that QE poses a credible threat to market stability.

Centro Universitário das Faculdades Metropolitanas Unidas
|Centro Universitário das Faculdades Metropolitanas Unidas
|Qualidade, Tradição e Inovação há mais de 40 anos
Motto in English
|Quality, Tradition and Innovation for more than 40 years
|Labibi Elias Alves da Silva
|São Paulo, SP, Brazil
Centro Universitário das Faculdades Metropolitanas Unidas is a Brazilian institution of higher education located in the city of São Paulo. The university is better known by the acronym FMU, which is maintained for the sake of tradition, since it has been popularly called FMU since its founding.
FMU was founded in 1968 by Professor Edevaldo Alves da Silva, together with Professor Onesimus Silveira, then Attorney of the State of São Paulo.[1]
FMU began operations on July 11, 1968. The same month, hundreds of students attended the first entrance exam. Initially six majors were offered: Law, Economics, Business, Accounting, Education and Social Work.
In 1975, FMU added the Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras Santa Rita de Cássia (College of Arts and Sciences), and began offering Psychology, Pedagogy and Languages. In 1976, with the addition of the Faculdade de Educação e Ciências Nova Piratininga (College of Science and Education), Mathematics was added to the enrollment offerings.[1]
In 1987, the institution established its graduate school, which is now known as Centro de Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação (CPPG) (Center for Research and Graduate Studies), which offers 96 master's degree courses, five MBA programs and twenty professional development courses. There is even a unique masters level course on Information Technology Law.
In 1989, FMU created one of its most traditional programs, Physical Education, which is considered excellent.[2]
Also in the 1980s, FMU merged with two partner institutions. Faculdades Integradas Alcântara Machado (FIAM) offered a major in Social Communication (and currently offers majors in Journalism, Advertising, Radio and TV). Faculdades de Artes Alcântara Machado (FAAM) includes Faculdade de Música (College of Music), and is the only college in this region of Brazil to earn the highest score on both sections of Exame Nacional de Desempenho de Estudantes (Enade) (a college level standardized test) and its courses in Architecture, City Planning and Administration.[1]
The FMU also partnered with Faculdades Integradas São Paulo (FISP), which currently offers courses in the field of Engineering.
FMU changed its name to Centro Universitário (University Center) on 23 March 1999. Soon after, in 2000, it created the Instituto Metropolitano de Altos Estudos (IMAE) (Metropolitan Institution of Higher Education), which develops cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary studies, focusing on contemporary issues in Brazil. The Institute publishes the Revista de Cultura IMAE (IMAE Journal of Culture).[3]
As Centro Universitário, FMU now offers many undergraduate majors and vocational degrees.
The campus has a veterinary hospital, a veterinary medicine farm-school and various health care clinics.[1]
In August 2013, the institution joined the international network of universities Laureate International Universities.[4]
In December 2012, the Ministério da Educação (MEC) (Brazilian Ministry of Education) suspended entrance exams and new enrollment in FMU's Technology and Systems Analysis and Development program because of its poor performance in 2008 and in 2011 in the Conceito Preliminar de Curso (CPC). In 2013, after further review, the Ministry of Education suspended enrollment in several other programs for 2014.[5]
Faculdade de Direito (College of Law)[edit]
FMU's College of Law was founded in 1968. The law degree it provides is one of the most prestigious in the country. The Ministry of Education gave the program its highest rating. Many of the top lawyers in Brazil are FMU alumni, including Luiz Flávio Borges D'Urso, former president of the Order of Attorneys of Brazil.
Juizado Especial Cível (Small Claims Court)- FMU[edit]
In 1999 the Juizado Especial Cível (Small Claims Court) was created on FMU's Liberdade Campus, as a partnership between the São Paulo Court and FMU. This is the first such court created as part of a Law School in São Paulo. FMU maintains the operational structure required to conduct daily hearings and service to the community.[6]

Tessa Jowell, the Culture Secretary, yesterday revealed details of the programme designed to enable every British home to switch to digital during the next seven years, with special assistance being given to people over the age of 75 and those with serious disabilities.
Some elderly and disabled people will be given one-to-one assistance in installing cable or satellite equipment, while others will be encouraged to switch to digital television through targeted leaflet campaigns and a national helpline. About 2 million of the 6 million households qualify for a free connection, with the rest being offered discounts.
Ms Jowell, addressing the Royal Television Society's annual Cambridge Convention, admitted she faced an "inevitable battle for hearts and minds as we seek to convince a minority about the merits of switching to digital". She claimed the digital switchover would benefit the UK economy by £1.1bn to £2.2bn.
The total cost to the BBC is estimated at £865m but will be factored into negotiations with the Government over the settlement of the licence fee.
Ms Jowell said: "There will be people who will find digital television confusing and feel unsettled by the technology."
Some consumer groups voiced concern that the promise of assistance did not go far enough. Alison Hopkins, of the National Consumer Council, said: "The scheme restricts help to households where someone is over 75 or has a significant disability. This will leave many others on low incomes struggling to pay for the equipment or who, while not disabled, may find it difficult to cope with the new technologies."
The cost of a set top box has fallen to about £35 and they are likely to be sold for £25 by some supermarkets in the run up to Christmas. But aerial upgrades, can cost between £80 and £190.
Already 63 per cent of households have converted to digital, with 2 million households converting in the past 12 months.
The Government has conducted trials in the Welsh villages of Llansteffan and Ferryside, which were both switched to digital-only television. Although there was overwhelming support from villagers and 81 per cent installed their own equipment, the cost of technical support was £2,000 per household.
The BBC said the switchover, would "ensure the benefits of digital will be available to every licence payer without having to pay a subscription".

Best with Dry HerbPrice: $199Review Score: 87/100
Alfa Dry Herb Vape: Design and Performance
Alfa vaporizer by Goboof has a minimalist design with just a few external parts: a silicone rubber mouthpiece, a heat settings dial, and a herb chamber at the bottom with a flip top. It is a very compact gadget, which makes it easy to hold in your hand. It's also very lightweight, so we can assume that it's not very sturdy.
While the vaporizer might look just like any other vaporizer on the market, it is the herb chamber that makes it unique. It has an additional pin, right in the middle of the oven which is not very common. In fact, I remember I have seen only two other vaporizers: Whisper Vape and Iolite Vaporizer that had a similar herb chamber. The pin has twofold benefits: firstly, it makes sure that the herbs stay in the right place and don't move around when you shake the vaporizer; secondly, it generates heat right in the middle of the oven in addition to the heat coming from the sides, which makes sure you get an rich, smooth flavor. The pin, however, comes at the price of extra effort required to clean the chamber.
The performance of Alfa greatly depends on how well you use it. When you turn it on, it takes about 30 seconds to heat up. According to our experience, it gives the best flavor when used at LOW or MID heat, and gives a harsh, burnt taste at HI. Also, the more finely ground and tightly packed your herbs are, the better taste you'll get. It offers the best taste if you take smaller puffs. For instance, if you puff on it for longer than eight seconds, you will not get as good a taste as you'll get if you puff it for four to six seconds. You get a burnt taste probably because the oven and the pin generate too much heat if you take longer puffs.
It comes with two additional settings A/P (Auto for puff) and A/T (Auto for time). I personally enjoyed the best vapor at LOW and MID, and didn't find the two auto settings very useful. As their names suggest, the settings change automatically according to your puffs or time. For example, A/P will increment heat by three degrees with every puff you take.
The vaporizer has a decent battery life, offering up to a little more than one hour of puffing, however, it takes very long for the battery to get fully charged i.e. about five hours. But the good thing is that you can vape while your vaporizer is charging. All in all, we were impressed by the performance of Alfa vaporizer.
What we loved about Alpha vaporizer
- Elegant, compact, minimalist design
- Easy to use
- Unique oven with central heating pin ensures blends are vaporized evenly and quickly
- Decent battery life, ease of use and quick heat up make it an ideal choice for vaping on the go
- Five different heat settings
- Reasonable price
Weaknesses of Alpha vaporizer
- Hard to clean, though you won't need to clean it too frequently
- The battery takes pretty long to get fully charged
- Requires extra caution when filling the chamber to avoid messiness
- On HI, you get harsh vapor plus the mouthpiece gets pretty hot
- Requires a non-USB charger
Final verdict
Despite a couple of tiny hassles attached to it, the Alfa vaporizer by Goboof is worth every cent. In fact, this tiny little gadget is on a par with the best and more expensive vaporizers in its class, thanks to the unique oven design. It's not big, it's not expensive and yet it offers more flexibility than most other portable vaporizers – making it an ideal choice for vaping on the go or even at home.

For awhile now, Ferrari328 has been CH posting some serious lunch hounding in the area north of boston.. He briefly mentioned Mandarin Reading in a recent post and today we went to try it, just off 128 and across from REI (about 10 min. from the 93/128 intersection.)
What a huge surprise. The lunch buffet is 11-2 wkdays for $12 and they are friendly and accomodating with late visitors. We arrived at 1:30 and none of the items were sold out and none had been suffering too long under heat lamps. They all tasted fresh and crunchy, not too sweet or salty, and no MSG that I could discern. Chefs come from Fuju and Hong Kong.
Excellent apps:
Tempura- really good and fresh and crispy. Not a proper light/shattering panko crust but still excallent,but still- fried nicely, and crisp. Many different vegetables incl. kabocha squash ; v good tempura dipping sauce
Crab Rangoon- excellent flavor, good amount of filling; fry oil clean
Peking Ravioli - larger than other commercial ones w/ a lot more filling of flavorful
march chopped pork; seemed house made to me. Steamed and fried, w/ good brown crust.
Pork and Shrimp Shumai- excellent filling
Section of 8 or so different dipping sauces including a 'ginger sauce' which seemed to be soy, vinegar, ginger (excellent w/ the ravs.)
Really Good:
Beef with Leeks- good quality tender beef, well balanced flavors
General Gau's- not cloyingly sweet
Baby Bok Choy- so tender and crisp
Not good:
lo mein -good flavor but overcooked
hot and sour soup- major yeccch
teriyaki chicken skewers- tough/dry, sweet
many diff maki- very pretty and varied, but not much flavor ,and rice not right at all
-there were probably 4 apps and 6-8 entrees that I did not have.
- I would never have tried the ice cream because I am such an ice cream snob (Toscanini's , Mixx, JPLicks and Haagen dasz(sp) for me)but it was brought to us- coconut, and chocolate -and I am really curious what brand it is because it was very good,the choc, esp, because it had a deep flavor and wasn't too sweet.
The octagonal room was very attractive and colorful and light filled. Plenty of helpful staff around.
I'm curious what CHs think about buffet tips- 20% of $24 (2 of us)just seemed too little.
Anyway, after the pretty dreadful dreck last week at Tulip jn Stoneham, Mandarin was 1,000 times better and we plan to return often. We overheard another couple tell the waitress that they heard about it on TV Diner. Btw, there are 3 other suburban Mandarin locations and they also own Bamboo, w/ 3 locations.

The world's fastest bus boy has likely been spotted in a Florida Red Robin. Rather than blandly going through the motions of cleaning, this dude is in personal fast forward mode, blazing through his task like he just went on a Monster / Red Bull / Jolt bender. Personally, I'm surprised he doesn't leave a trail of fire wherever he goes.
Watch the action after the jump.

text: NATURAL BRIDGE, Va., April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Balcony Downs -- an estate at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains with a stately manor house, horse barn, two cottages and the remains of a 19th century dairy barn -- will sell at auction Friday, May 3, with Woltz & Associates managing the auction. "This is a marvelous old estate on approximately 50 acres on a broad, flat plain beneath the famous Three Sisters Knobs. It's a stunning piece of ground with a gorgeous home and an ideal place to raise and ride horses," said Jim Woltz, president of the auction company. The estate itself dates back to 1742, and the home was originally built in 1822. Over the years, other improvements have been added, including the two cottages, the six-stall horse barn and paddock, granary, and even a 1,200-foot landing strip. "Practically everything on the property has a story behind it. There's a stone cottage that was reportedly built as an ice house in the late 1890s. And the dairy barn was made of bricks that were originally to have been used to build a hotel in Glasgow. But the hotel never got built, and the bricks ended up being used for the barn, which -- among other things -- housed the Old Dominion Furniture Company in the 1940s," said Woltz. "The property has open pastures, wooded areas and a beautiful pond fed by a spring. Yet, it is less than 10 miles from I-81 ( Natural Bridge) and within 15 miles of Lexington and the Virginia Horse Center." The property will sell to the highest bidder at or above $524,000. The auction will begin at 5 p.m. at the Natural Bridge Hotel. Individuals seeking additional information may visit woltz.com or call 800-551-3588. Woltz & Associates, based in Roanoke, Va., is a leading auctioneer of land, homes, commercial property and other high-value real estate throughout the United States, with a particular emphasis on the Mid-Atlantic region.

Mavic Bellissima Women's Knickers - $159.90
With all of the technical aspects of the Bellissima shorts, Mavic's Bellissima Women's Knickers improve upon the established platform by providing additional coverage. This means that you're able to start with comfort on cool mornings, and still be content once the sun reaches its highest point. Constructed from Mavic's Sleek Power fabric (a lightly structured, highly elastic blend of polyamide, elastane, and Lycra), the Bellissima effectively pulls perspiration away from the skin in order to keep you dry and comfortable. However, while wicking capabilities are an expected touch, Sleek Power is only starting to show its form. As a certified Power Lycra, this fabric features a higher-than-average fiber weight along with a dense knit. And as a result, the material provides a compressive support that alleviates the fatigue-inducing effects of road vibration and muscle oscillation. So, you'll be able to deliver more power to the pedals for a longer period of time. However, don't think that this benefit comes at the cost of sacrificed flexibility. In fact, Sleek Power has a better-than-normal stretch property that's been engineered into the material. So, you're able to pedal freely, and maneuver around your bike, without any pinching or discomfort. Of course, though, no pair of knickers are complete without a quality chamois. And in this application, Mavic opted for its Ergo 3D pad. It provides and anatomically correct support that's supplied by three different densities and six different thicknesses. A moisture wicking, low density, and open cell foam pulls perspiration away from the skin. Additionally, it has an antimicrobial treatment that combats bacteria, keeping both the insert and your skin clean and comfortable. This first layer is incredibly soft against the skin in order to prevent irritation, but for long-distance comfort, it uses two more higher density foams. - $159.90

We like Unilam Banilam Valley
Young Wha Kim • about 2 years ago
This area is easy to access. You can park just beside of main area and cross the small stream to try all of boulders. This area has developed 2012. 60~70 problems have established. Some boulders are still untouched. You'd better visit dry season ecept rainy summer season(late Jun to late July) because you cannot try some boulders with water base. Rock is sedimentary grit and almost holds are not very sharp but little greasy. Grades are various from VB to V10.

Super HugMature
Super Hug
We stand with our backs to the cul-de-sac waiting for our parents. Zac sits with a thud and begins to drive his tractor on his Buddha belly, then up his arm, then onto Esmé's leg. He rumbles happily. BURRRRMBRMBRM. He has more motor sounds than words. Esmé shakes her leg and Zac tilts backwards, almost saves himself, then falls flat on the ground with a fat FLAP. He starts driving his tractor among the clouds. I fix Es's shirt collar. The tag was sticking out. Today is the first day of school and we are going to be late.
Through the kitchen windows I watch mum and dad. They run in circles. "Do they have their lunch boxes?"
"Yes, Basil, for the last time, yes."
"Okay, I've got the camera – wait, no film – oh, here it is. Alright, got the film."
"And you've got Sean's bag?"
"No. Yes. Where?"
"Here." And they burst out of our little townhouse. They weren't arguing but it was close. Only dad is smiling. We are standing shoulder to shoulder the way they had set us for our annual picture. Except for Zac who is still turtled and gurgling merrily. Picture perfect.
Mum grabs Zac. I smile. Esmé smiles and we hold up our fingers for which grade we're going into. Es holds up two fingers. I hold up four, but dad corrects me and I put down one. I'm two years older than Es but she's a gifted little snot and is already in grade two. We smile bigger and mum lowers Zac into the frame too late, and all we get is his tubby belly and half of his grin. But we don't have time to take another.
Mum chucks Zac into the car and her tires squeal on her way to work while dad gets his bike rolling. Esmé and I clamber on. She gets the handlebars and I get the flat back fender where I sit side saddle and hook my arm around dad's waist and bag for support. Sometimes we walk, like when the hill gets too steep, but mostly we ride. I liked riding till last year when Nathan pointed out riding side saddle was for girls. Now I don't like it so much.
At school the yard is already empty. Dad kisses our heads and walks Esmé in while I run to class. Nothing is happening yet so I get caught and scolded for being late. On the first day too. I can hear Nathan's laughter from the back. I can almost feel him say, dumb Canuck. I look for a seat and catch Payton's eye and burn red. I'm told to sit alphabetically so I do. Then I'm told to stand up so I do. The entire class stands beside our desks and we pledge allegiance while staring at the ceiling, our shoes, each other. I stand straighter and try to say the words like I know them. Nathan knows the words. I peak over my shoulder at him and Payton then look back at the flag. I suck in my fat stomach and try to remember to do that for the rest of forever. Nathan doesn't have a fat stomach.
At recess, Philippe and Anton are already getting a game of mega tag going. I join in. The twins dip and straighten as they speak. They look like a pair of fish bobbers as they explain why it's so mega to the group. I try to run as hard as I can and I still can't outrun anyone so I'm always it. I hate tag. I only win when I convince everyone to play in the old playground. The playground is wooden and tall and I know its every secret, but it's far away from school so when the bell rings we have to run across the tennis courts and both fields to get back. We are late and everyone blames me. I hate tag.
At lunch I stay in the library and read my myths.
The day ends and dad comes from the university to pick us up. Esmé spends the entire time on the handlebars leaning back or twisting around to tell him about her day. I sit side saddle sadly. I think about this and spend the rest of the time home worming my tongue around it till I've forgotten tag and my fat stomach. Seansitsshideshaddlesally-SeansitsSIDEsaddleshadlySeanshitsside-
The floor is my kingdom. Today is Saturday and the entire living room was flooded with Lego pieces for me to sift through and build. Build build build. Castles mostly but also space stations and the walls of Troy. My parents think I'm going to be an architect. Zac farms in circles around me, his tractor making a ROOOMRUMRUM with his little cheeks rippling.
When mum says fuck we all hear it. Fuck. "Fuck you, Basil," she says. She storms out of the kitchen and upstairs. Zac is startled and I can see him about to cry. I stick my tongue out at him. He hiccups, but still his eyes are wet. I brrrum at him. He BRRRUUUMs back and begins another circuit around me. I get up and check the kitchen. Dad is standing still, his back to me, head bowed. The argument was about money. It was always about money.
"Fuck" hangs in the air like smoke. The taste sticks to the roof of my mouth.
In the living room Esmé has come downstairs and is holding Zac. She looks scared and is holding tight. Zac bubbles happily and tries to do barrel rolls in his sister's arms.
"What's happening, Sean?"
I don't know. "I don't know."
"Is Mum mad at Dad?
Yes. Very. "Yes. A little."
"What's going to happen?"
Nothing. "Nothing is going to happen."
"How do you know?"
I don't, but I say, "I know. I just do." I don't lie well enough and she starts to cry silently. Zac stops bubbling and is quiet too. Esmé's tears crawl over her cheeks to her chin and when they do I reach forward and wipe them away. "Don't let them touch your clothes, they'll know you were crying." Esmé gets it and wipes her cheeks. Zac hugs her and mashes his chubby face into her shoulder. Super hug. They stay like that and I play Lego for a while.
I hear the kettle boil and go into the kitchen. Dad is taking the whistling kettle off the stove. The house is too small for him and he bends like Apollo's bow. His head doesn't touch the ceiling but his posture, so straight and solid before, is pretzeled. He sees me staring.
"Would you like some tea, Sean?" I stare at his shirt and shake my head. It's a rowing shirt from his McGill days. It ain't canoeing baby! His cuffs are wet from were he wiped his eyes. He puts the tea bags in the pot and we wait for it to steep.
"Is 'ain't' a word?"
"Everybody says it."
"But it's wrong. People say a lot of things that are wrong."
I tongue the roof of my mouth were the word sits. Fuck. It tastes sour.
Dad makes the tea and I look back into the living room. Zac is tired from hugging so hard and has fallen asleep. Esmé is taking him upstairs to bed. Her cheeks are dry but her eyes look puffy. Dad puts in two lumps of sugar. Then the milk. Then the tea. Then stir. A pause.
My father looks like a Greek god. Tall, dark hair, muscular. I'm small and pale and slow at running. He can't know I'm not a god like him. He stares into the tea. Before it can get cold I take it from him and bring it to mum.
I enter without knocking. She's sitting at the desk, her head bowed. Her cheeks are wet too. I put the cup on the desk and muscle my way into her lap. She thanks me for the tea in between sips.
"Did you make it?" I shake my head no. When she is done she cuddles me, which she hasn't done since Zac was born. It feels warm and nice except where her wet cheeks make my forehead cold. When she thinks I'm asleep she whispers to me, "Your father doesn't love me." I don't have the words to tell her she's wrong. The argument was about love. It was always about love.
