Creating Foundation For College Education
DU summer program helps high school kids prepare for college life
It's a difficult decision many high school graduates and their families face every year: continue their education or get a job? Next week, Aug 2 – 6, the University of Denver will host the Summer Link to college program, providing an opportunity for 80 Denver-area high school juniors to take college classes with DU instructors.
Summer Link is part of DU's Volunteers in Partnership program (VIP). It was created 26 years ago by former Chancellor Dan Ritchie in an effort to encourage and support students who might not see college as a possibility or know about the resources available to them. "Summer Link is unique because it is led by DU students who come from similar backgrounds and become mentors to students from their own high school," says Linda Quintanar, director of VIP.
The weeklong program gives students a taste of what college life is like. They will take college classes with DU instructors, live in the residence halls for five days and participate in different workshops and activities. Quintanar says when the week is over, the University continues to work with these students. "VIP continues to engage with students and families until their high school graduation. During junior year, students have the opportunity to take a VIP-sponsored SAT prep class. Families are also invited to attend different workshops, events and college visits."
A major driving force for the success of Summer Link is the involvement by DU students. Not only are they graduates of the same high schools participating in the program, but many also are alums of the program. "The VIP and Summer Link are testaments to student determination, unbridled tenacity and a willingness to commitment of purpose," says Cathy Grieve, executive director of conferences, events and special programs. "It is truly one of the gems of the University."

About Me
I am looking to work with anyone looking to build their portfolio and especially those with fresh new ideas or who is open to experiment and help me to bring some of my ideas to life. The majority of my recent work has been work to build model portfolios but I am also looking to find a good core group of models to work with to focus on artistic photography with the hopes of enhancing both my professional experience as well as the models'. I am currently based in the metro DC area but I do travel to Virginia Beach, Florida, Las Vegas, New York City, and Atlanta several times a year so I am always open to work with people when I am on the road.
***I am especially seeking to shoot female fitness enthusiasts***
Some of other areas of interest are :
Fashion Shows
Print Photography
Recording artists
And anything creative that will stretch both myself and my model(s) beyond the limits of where we have gone before.

ANC push for S.Africa to own central bank: papers
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Top officials in South Africa's ruling ANC are pushing for the state to take over ownership of the country's central bank, one of the few in the world to still be owned by private shareholders, newspapers reported on Sunday.
The Sunday Times and Sunday Independent said ANC Secretary-General Gwede Mantashe had presented a document to the party's top decision-making committee questioning why the bank was still owned by the private sector.
He had argued that the party should not shy away from looking at the state's role in the banking industry as a whole.
"Why have we been reluctant to even open the discussion on the role of the state in the banking industry," the newspapers reported him as saying in the document that was supported by some executive committee members.
"Including discussing the fact that the South African Reserve Bank is one of less than five central banks in private hands in the world."
The Reserve Bank is owned by shareholders, who are entitled to appoint half of the board of directors. Shareholdings are limited and liquidity tight.
But shareholders have no say in the day-to-day operations, or policies, of the bank. The governor and deputies are appointed by the president and are responsible for running the bank.
Accountable to parliament, it independence is protected by the country's constitution.
Changing the ownership structure of the central bank would not have a major impact on its operations but a move to more state control may raise fears of political interference in policy decisions. Continued...

Avoiding Vice Once and For All
by Billybob on Jun.23, 2014, under Avoiding Vice Once and For All
Streetwalkers are a common sight off Fremont Street downtown, off The Strip, and down Boulder Highway. The problem is that in Clark County, prostitution is illegal, especially when it is solicited or obtained in a public place. Of course, many streetwalkers live a lifestyle that leaves them, and you, more susceptible to drugs, sexually transmitted infections, or STIs, and arrest. In Nevada at large, however, prostitution is legal when it occurs in one of the licensed brothels. This makes sexual tourism one of the state's greatest draws, after gambling, of course. Where many tourists run afoul of the law is not realizing that prostitution in Clark and Washoe counties is still illegal.
Many of the brothels in the Amargosa Valley northwest of Las Vegas have free shuttles to encourage guests to come to their establishments. This free service helps cut down on the expense of travel for patrons, encouraging them to spend more money for their dream encounter without fear of running afoul of the police. The brothels offer a number of advantages, including:
- Security and Privacy: No one needs to know you were there except you.
- Discretion: The girls in the brothels are paid to please you, not to tell stories about you.
- Safety: All brothel workers are required by law to use condoms and check for visible evidence of STIs before every assignation, reducing the risk of disease.
For this reason, the brothels may be the most desirable alternative for the sexually adventurous tourist. The prices at the brothels vary depending on where you go, how long you stay and what you want to do, ranging from $100-200 and up. While this may not seem very cost-effective, when one considers the potential legal and medical costs of wrangling with a streetwalker, it becomes clear that a couple of bills is actually a bargain for an hour or a night of pleasurable company. But are there other options?
Opening the Las Vegas phone book gives one access to a large variety of escort services, which many tourists prefer to the added time and occasionally expense of going outside county lines to get their desires met. Las Vegas escorts operate much more discreetly than streetwalkers, which makes it a lot harder for Vice to follow them. Also, escorts have a much lower incidence of STIs and drug use, which makes them much safer for your pleasure.
Most escort services charge rates comparable to those of the brothels, and many add an "agency fee," or a surcharge for arranging your meeting. The problem is that it is difficult for a customer to be sure the lovely young woman who just arrived is actually an escort and not an undercover Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Vice officer. In many cases, independent, or non-agency-affiliated, escorts, will require references before they will agree to an encounter at all. While this reduces numerous risks for both parties, it could prove more of an irritation than the services rendered are worth and still breaks the law.
Clearly there are a lot of options for the tourist who has more in mind than just gambling, but why risk bringing home a misdemeanor or a medical condition that can't be cured with a couple of aspirin and a day's bed rest? Nevada's brothels are generally open 24 hours and perfectly willing to cater to tourists from Sin City. Their websites usually show who's working, so you can choose your courtesan before you ever leave. This is the best, safest, and most enjoyable way to avoid Vice once and for all when you're visiting Las Vegas.

What are the things you should remember while writing a resume?
A resume reflects professionally the qualifications of those individuals applying or looking for an employment. Bearing this in mind, the resume must be well written to impress the employer and increase the chance of being invited for an interview. It therefore goes without saying that effort is a necessity to create a resume that will make you stand out from other probable candidates.
Plan ahead and collect all relevant data that you are likely to use to make a resume for the job you have in mind. Such documents will include, certificates and all the list of information that you might need on the process of writing your resume. To make referencing of the documents easier you can scan them into a computer readable form.
Since the resume format to apply will depend on your career plan have it ready. For the persons applying for the jobs in traditional and conservative industries like academe and law and also for those applicants aiming to stay in the same profession or position the reverse, Chronological format is the best resume format. Due existence of gaps in the careers of individuals who have been out of a profession and now want to make a comeback into the profession, the functional format is more appropriate. This is the format for the fresh with no experience seeking employment for the first time.
If however you are seeking to change your career or have diverse employment backgrounds, the Combination format of the two is recommended. It should be however be stressed that the format of the resume is just a precursor to the most important information same that should be presented and stated very well to get one the job that they seek.
The key to success in your job application is choosing from all the available job opportunities, those jobs and positions that fit your qualifications and personality after which you do an analysis of the need that company is in and what you have to offer to address that need after which you need to identify significant qualifications that you have that make you the best candidate for the position.
These are the parts of a resume that you will need to highlight.
Objective Section
After you are clear on the career path you want, the jobs that you want to apply and the resume format that suits you best, begin your resume with the establishing it in such a way that you can convey to the employer that you are just the right candidate they're looking for. Don't leave the employer trying to guess the position that you are interested in. Mention it on the Objective Section to demonstrate clarity.
You may in some instance be required to give a summary Section immediately following the Objective, particularly where you have several significant accomplishments that are relevant to the position being applied. The summary will consist of a brief paragraph of your important qualities and the answer the question why the company should choose you over other applicants.
The Experience Section will usually follow the Objective and/or Summary. Depending on the qualification that you consider more remarkable and at the same time sticking to consistency indicate under this your job titles, followed by the company's name where the position was held. In this field should also be any work-related experience including internships and voluntary works or services listed them in reverse chronological order with dates after each work. The months so as to cover up any gaps should be left out unless the position was held for less than a year
Your Education background.
The field should be done so that higher and more recent achievements appear first followed by other lower achievements. State major course and awards but exclude other small commendations unless you are a fresh graduate and also the date the degree will be completed if you are currently enrolled in the program.
Affiliations and Organizations
Are listed after the Education Section but only the recent and relevant organizations to which you area member should be sated.
Personal background/interest
Put after the Affiliation Section any personal Interest, but also the most relevant to the company or the positioned being applied.
The reference Section.
Name and addresses of your reference should not be listed here but should be prepared in a separate sheet and presented only when asked for. "Reference available upon request" is the proper statement under the Reference Section.
For more information on how to make a great resume, certain online guides would come in handy with the detailed information about making a great resume that will get the employers calling.

Right wing media in America continue to propogate the false story about the Bush authorized "surge" which turned the tide in Iraq. It is obvious to anyone who studied the war in Iraq the "tide had turned" earlier when Sunni Muslims became tired of al-Qaeda and formed into "Awakening Councils" which began the process of reducing the power of insurgents. These Sons of Iraq worked with American military forces to curtail violence. The assumption was this decision by Sunni Muslims to work or peace would possibly result in creating a new Iraq in which Sunni and Shiite cooperated. General John Johnson expressed the concern of Americans at failure on the part of the Iraq government to work for peace. "I think it's fair to say the Sunni population, in general, looks to swe how the Sons of Iraq are being treated as maybe an indicator of how serious the government is of true reconciliation."
Unfortunately, the answer is clear– not particularly interested. Few Sunnis have been able to get jobs, the number that was to be absorbed into the Iraq army is not what was hoped. For some strange reason, the desire for peace in Iraq still is not a major concern of its Shiites leaders.

My friend used to own an automatic g35....he ended up trading it in for the exact same one in stick...with the brembo package.
It really depends how into driving you are. i dont like automatics unless i have no other choice or theres a serious amount of traffic. Some people like it, some people dont. everyone has different tastes. The auto is definitely not like the stick one, i know that for a fact.

i agree that a legacy gt might be a good choice, they are nice cars plus the autos (if i remember right) have that tran-auto feature that lets you tell it when to shift or put it in drive and let the car do all the work. they look sharp and have a good powerplant under the hood. you still get awd and all the love that makes a scooby what they are. thats what i would do.

The car will feel the same for the most part. I test drove the auto when looking at the my 08 Rex (which is manual) just for kicks. It was a fun little car--there is no denying it. The only downside is that it wasn't as much fun as the manual... It's a little doggier and not quite as punchy from any speed. Definitely give it a try though. If you just test the auto, you will like it for sure (just don't try the stick... haha). Good luck!

Don't listen to anyone talking about how a stick is so much better especially if you're buying this car for the two of you to drive, knowing that in a few years you'll get something for yourself.
Sure, stick can be fun but in Brooklyn and Strong Isle it ain't that fun. An auto's going to be just as capable of a car and you'll both be able to enjoy it. You get the motor, the handling, the AWD, the Suby Community, and only at the cost of a third pedal.
I don't think I have to talk you into one, but if my choices were a GTI and a WRX I'd pick the one with AWD. Of course I'd rather see my girl in a Suby (which she is) so I'm slightly biased, but I can't think of any reason not to get one if those are your choices.
I drove auto my whole life until my manual WRX. Before, I couldn't care less about driving... it was just a necessary thing to get me to work, etc. Now with my stick shift WRX, I find myself wanting to drive for no reason other than to drive! I've never driven an auto WRX, but I am sure it is wonderful to drive as well. If that is what you want you should go for it! I think the WRX is a much better car than the GTI and it is definitely more reliable!
I love my manual but when Im in traffic I curse it, lol! First gear is too short and 2nd gear is just too tall for me...it gets so annoying...either way its a win win situation...cause at the end of the day you will still be driving a WRX!!

I just bought a 2002 wrx wagon auto. It was a personal choice to WANT an auto. The car I traded in for it was a 5spd and yes it was fun to drive at times, but in stop and go traffic it gets old. Yes, some well most people givens **** about getting an auto but the entire car fits my needs my wrx has everything I wanted in a car. Everypower option. Auto clean and lower miles.
It still has all the power I need. I just got tired of driving standard.
When people give me **** about it being an auto I just tell them I wanted the auto for the life style I have rightnow.
Granted 6-12 months later I'm sure I'll upgrade to a 06-07 wrx 5spd but for now the change from 5spd to auto was perfect.
If auto you want get it. Dont buy a 5spd to 'impress' others. You'll regret it in the end.

Euro Approaches Five-Week Low Versus Yen After Spain, France Bond Auctions
The euro approached a five-week low against the yen as Spanish and French borrowing costs rose at auctions, fueling concern the region's debt crisis is worsening.
The 17-nation currency earlier reached the weakest since Oct. 10 versus the dollar as Spain sold 3.56 billion euros ($4.8 billion) of a new 10-year bond at an average yield of almost 7 percent, the highest since the euro's creation. The Dollar Index snapped three days of gains as economists said a U.S. report today will show first-time jobless claims rose last week. The Swiss franc fell as investor confidence fell in November.
"The euro is the weakest link among the major currencies and is bound to get weaker," said Niels Christensen, chief currency strategist at Nordea Bank AB (NDA) in Copenhagen. "There is so much uncertainty, not only in the southern European countries but it's spreading now to countries that we saw as core countries."
The euro dropped 0.1 percent to 103.65 yen at 7:01 a.m. in New York, after sliding to 103.41, matching the lowest since Oct. 10. The currency was little changed at $1.3454 after earlier falling to $1.3422. The yen gained 0.1 percent to 76.98 per dollar.
Spain's Treasury sold bonds due in January 2022 at an average yield of 6.975 percent, up from 5.433 percent when it auctioned debt maturing in April 2021 last month. The nation was originally seeking to raise up to 4 billion euros from the sale. French borrowing costs rose to 2.82 percent at an auction of July 2016 notes, up from 2.31 percent at the previous offer of the securities on Oct. 20.
Forecast Cut
Spain's finance minister, Elena Salgado, cut the country's economic growth forecast, saying output will expand 0.8 percent this year. The new forecast is below the 1.3 percent target that Salgado had said since August would be hard to meet, and is in line with the estimate of 0.7 percent published by the European Commission last week.
"There's still money to shift away from the euro area," said Neil Jones, head of European hedge-fund sales at Mizuho Corporate Bank Ltd. in London. "In the short term, I'm not optimistic that there'll be a solution that will satisfy investors." The euro may fall to $1.30 by year-end, he said.
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index of shares slid for the third time in four days, losing 1.5 percent.
Dollar Index
The Dollar Index, which IntercontinentalExchange Inc. uses to track the greenback against the currencies of six major U.S. trading partners, dropped 0.2 percent to 78.248.
U.S. initial jobless claims increased to 395,000 last week from 390,000 the previous week, according to a Bloomberg News survey before the figures are released. Other U.S. reports today are forecast to show builders started work on fewer houses in October and manufacturing in the Philadelphia region expanded for a second month in November.
New York Federal Reserve President William Dudley, who said last month that it's possible that policy makers "could do another round of quantitative easing," is due to speak on the economy today. The Fed has conducted so-called quantitative easing twice, in which the central bank buys government debt to stimulate the economy through lower borrowing costs.
The Fed said in September that it would replace $400 billion in shorter-maturity debt holdings with longer-term securities in a bid to reduce borrowing costs and boost the world's largest economy.
The franc declined for a fourth day versus the U.S. currency, losing 0.2 percent to 92.10 centimes per dollar. It dropped 0.2 percent 1.2409 per euro.
An index of investor and analyst expectations, which aims to predict economic developments six months in advance, fell to minus 64.3 from minus 54.4 in October, the ZEW Center for European Economic Research in Mannheim, Germany, and Zurich- based Credit Suisse Group AG (CSGN) said in an e-mailed statement.

User Feedback(Page 1 of 2, 31 total comments)
Its too expensive. It's about $3000 per week.
No one publishes prices and these reviews look fake. It seems like at least ONE person would mention the cost/price. I was very annoyed that I emailed the address on the web page and said PLEASE DO NOT CALL ME and they kept calling but did NOT send email with pricing. VERY SUSPICIOUS of these reviews/ and will be surprised if THIS gets posted. Your competition just comes out with the prices like an upfront, honest business. Why don't you?
Highly Recommend this camp! The La Costa Location is Outstanding!! I had my doubts about whether they could help me lose weight with my bad knee giving me trouble but Todd and Johnny worked with me extensively to make sure I found workouts I could do. In 3 weeks I lost 14 lbs of fat and gained 10 lbs of lean muscle. I plan on going back once a year to get a recharge! Thanks Premier!
Premier Fitness Camp at La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, CA is an amazing operation! Wayne and the other trainers are exceptional people and truly care. I researched many of the other "Camps" out there and Premier Fitness Camp in my opinion is the only one that actually has the intense boot camp experience all on-site a 5 star resort. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to lose some weight and learn a bunch about themselves!
After shopping the internet and putting my faith into Premier Fitness Camp I couldn't be happier with my decision. The staff and resort was amazing and I lost an average of 7lbs of fat per week. I can't say enough about my experience. Two very big thumbs up!! Love you guys.
I'm just finishing my 2nd week at Premier Fitness in Park City and headed down for my last two weeks to the San Diego location. All I can say is thank you to the incredible team of trainers and staff members that have changed my life! Park City has been amazing and, based on my experience so far, I expect big things in San Diego!!!
I LOVE YOU PREMIER!!! My 4 weeks at Premier was the best investment I have ever made! I lost 38lbs! and I've never felt better! Thanks to Josh, Leah, Pam, Wayne and the gang!! I hope to attend one of their alumni reunions to reconnect with everyone. I made friends that will last a lifetime.
Thanks to the team at Premier Fitness Camp I am in way better shape than I was a month ago! I've lost 26lbs of fat! I couldn't be happier! :) I'm hoping to make it to the San Diego reunion in September for sure. Thanks Again Premier Team!! If you're looking at Camps I would definitely choose PFC again.
Premier Fitness saved my life! I thought I would never be able to lose weight again after my knee injury. Wayne and his team were awesome at helping me overcome this hurdle and I'm feeling better than ever. If you follow their plan you will have great success! 40lb to go for me and I'll be at my goal!
Been home for 4 1/2 mos and can't wait to get back there. I'm headed to San Diego for the reunion retreat in 3 weeks...can't wait to see all my fav trainers! Thanks to Leah for the follow-up coaching; I feel like I'm flying on my own now and continuing with all the healthy habits you helped me attain! My love to all!!
Good if you want to loose weight then gain everything right back. The nutrition and exercise programs are strict and in most ways oblivious to home life which is probably why the results do not last. Another reason it is not worth it is that they neglect sleep big time. Dont go if you plan to maintain a healthly life but highly reccomended if you just need to wear a wedding dress for one night. PS. If you think that it is just me who gained it all back, your wrong.
I lost 11lbs in 1 week and felt great during my stay! The food was tasty and of course healthy which took me a few days to come to terms with considering I like most of my food fried!:) The trainers are the absolute best people on this planet. The whole team feels like family to me and I will forever owe them for helping me get back on track.
I only had the chance to stay for one week but I received exactly what I was looking for during that week! I feel I'm well on my way back to the old me and I can't thank the PFC team enough!!! I will never forget you guys.
The resort is absolutely beautiful and the staff was the best group of people i have ever worked with. I found myself finally and i'm so excited about the future and I can't wait to come back next year. Thanks to the whole teamf or so much support. I will never forget you all!
I can't thank the staff at PFC enough, you guys really changed my life and i'm forever in debt to you! I look forward to working with my at home coach and making these changes last forever. TWO THUMBS UP!!!
To Ginger: Sorry you didn't have all your expectations met. I could go on and on about the pros and cons of Fitness Ridge VS PFC and PFC would still win in my books. No need to sound like a spokes person for Fitness Ridge though... only sounds more suspicious
I wish I could have spent more time at Premier Fitness Camp! I lost 9.5 lbs in the week that I was there and hope to keep losing weight. I'm excited to use the meal planner tool they gave us to make sure my meals don't ruin my plan! No more Fast Food for me!!
Love, love, love PFC! Thank you to the entire staff for making my experience better than I ever expected. Admittedly, I wasn't the typical "fat camp" candidate but, rather, I came to accomplish increased intensity in my training. I asked for it and I got it! I'm planning to return each spring for a tune up. Thanks again to all who made it both challenging and rewarding!
"Dear Future PFC members- This is my last day after four weeks, I made many new friends here. I learned a lot of lessons- some were harder than others! I got out of it what I put into it. I�??m in the best shape of my life at 42 and it feels great. Chef Dave is a true miracle worker with food. Wayne is the salt of the earth and a great trainer. Chris sets the example for expecting the best of yourself. Good luck and rock it!!"
"Two and half weeks at Premier and I am feeling lighter than ever. Chris, Wayne and Jamie have made sure I have been able to continue my tri training while I have been here. I have hit some amazing hikes and bike rides. We even got out to so do a couple of open water swims

Eleven die as Gaza factions clash
At least 11 people have died in some of the deadliest fighting between rival Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah in Gaza for months.
Two civilians - one a two-year-old boy - were among those killed, Palestinian medics said.
The clashes erupted after weeks of relative calm and renewed efforts to form a national unity government.
Fatah said it was suspending the negotiations following the violence, which has continued into the night.
Both factions also kidnapped members of the opposing side during the day.
More than 40 people have died as a result of a power struggle between supporters of the Hamas-led government and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah faction since mid-December.
Echo of gunfire
The BBC's Alan Johnston in Gaza says there has been intensive mediation by Egyptian diplomats in an effort to stop the bloodshed there.
He says late in the evening word came that Fatah and Hamas had agreed to order their supporters off the streets.
Friday Jan 26th, 2007 6:23 PM
Fatah has reportedly postponed unity government talks with rival Hamas after at least 12 people were killed and 24 others abducted in factional violence across the Palestinian Territories.
The clashes on Friday overshadowed celebrations to mark the first anniversary of Hamas's election victory.
They also came after Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, said a deal could be done in weeks.
"The entire dialogue could explode," Tawfiq Abu Khoussa, the Fatah spokesman, said as he blamed Hamas for the violence.
"How can dialogue go on when there is a bomb underneath the table?"
The talks, which had been due to resume on Friday, will now be held on Sunday at the earliest.
Saturday Jan 27th, 2007 10:03 AM
On January 26, 2006, Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president and leader of Fatah, told a press conference at the World Economic Forum in Davos that talks with Hamas, the ruling party, on the formation of a national unity government ought to conclude within three weeks.
He reiterated his call for presidential and parliamentary elections if the talks failed.
Hamas has refused to endorse another election. It suspended unity government talks on the same day as Abbas's address in Davos after more than a dozen people were killed in Palestinian factional fighting.
Since mid-December, more than 40 Palestinians have been killed and scores injured in what has been described as a power struggle between supporters of Hamas and those of Fatah. The fighting has also encompassed clan feuds and vigilante groups.
Laila El-Haddad spoke to four of those involved in the fighting, asking why they had participated and what they thought the future may hold.

An open house on Salt Lake County's development of "General Plans" for Big Cottonwood, Little Cottonwood and Parleys canyons will be held July 17 at the County Government Center, 2001 S. State St.
From 6 p.m.-8 p.m. in the North Building's first-floor council chambers, county planners David Gellner and Todd Draper will describe the process of assembling general plans, which address three broad topics:
• Community values and goals,
• Best practices
• And programs and projects in the canyons.
In addition to the open house, planners also will accept public input at future town hall meetings and planning-commission hearings, according to the project's website: firstname.lastname@example.com.
County planners updated general plans for Magna, Kearns and Millcreek in 2012. But the drafting of general plans for the canyons is likely to be a lengthier process since there are conflicting ideas about how best to use the canyons and many county residents care deeply about what happens.

Qin Shi Huang really did think of everything...
Not sure of the symbolism but it was interesting to see that there was even a terracotta 'animal keeper' made! Shame I couldn't have spent longer at that museum...
(I find body bags just creepy on an archaeology site!)
Since its discovery in 1974, there has been continuous research at the site of the Terracotta Army - an archaeologist's dream surely!
The biggest pit of them all. Each soldier famously has different facial features and expressions to create the most life-like terracotta army possible.
This is why pit 2 is completely covered up - perhaps they anticipate a future technology where the original colours of the Terracotta Army can be preserved permanently in a way that we can view them.
You can clearly see the divisions

Kota Baru (The Star/ANN) - Zahari Othman, 53, started his restaurant with big dreams, ploughing a lot of money into his business and renting a shoplot in Lembah Sireh for 2,000 ringgit (US$645) a month. Three years later, he realised he had gone in blind. Business has been poor.
"Before I rented this place I was impressed with the promise of massive development.
"But after sometime, I realised that nothing is happening with Kelantan River Bank Development project except for the hypermarket, main bus station and some shoplots.
"Those who visit the hypermarket will eat there.
"I really wonder when the promised infrastructure will come and help improve my business," said Zahari, whose restaurant is at the ground floor of a three-storey shoplot.
There are many others like him who feel shortchanged after buying or renting the expensive shoplots with the promise by the developer to build the integrated infrastructure that promised 2,400 shop-offices, a hotel, a golf course, luxury apartments and residential houses.
Now, the business community and people within the Lembah Sireh main business centre that began seven years ago doubt that the whole project can be completed by 2015.
A businessman who manages a locksmith booth at the hypermarket, Nik Mohd Tarmizi, 25, said business was slow and people only frequent the hypermarket.
"This area is simply dead after the hypermarket closes by 10pm. It is deserted at night because people have no reason to come here except to shop at the hypermarket.
Hypermarket patron Rosilawati Yaacob, 38, from Bachok about 30km from here, said the hypermarket was the only reason for her to visit the area.
"Apart from the shoplots, people come here to buy textile. Most of them are from the private medical college and Mara Polytechnic College. Apart from that, there is nothing else," she said.
Both the medical college and the polytechnic operate out of the shoplots.
Visitor Ramli Ahmad, 45, was disappointed with the infrastructure in the area.
"The only attraction for me here is a floating restaurant that is well-lit at night. The rest of the area, including the shoplots, are closed by 10pm.
"I believe people do not come here except to buy daily produce at the hypermarket," he said.

Is there a way to ensure proper pulley alignment?
I have a 302 in my 69 mustang, and about two years ago I had a local custom shop install a vintage air setup (yeah, I know I'm weak, but I'm in Texas!). Since then, I have thrown the new AC belt several times. To my eye, I don't think the pulleys line up correctly. All the brackets are custom so there is no way to be certain that they are lined up, like you would expect in a factory install. Is there a scientific way (other than eyballing it) to make sure your belts pulleys line up on a custom engine build? I do not want to pop for a serpentine system since I will presumably still have the problem of making sure all the pulleys line up on the custom engine/AC setup.
as for lining them up try maybe a straight edge? just my opinion
You can use a staright edge, if you can get it in there.....Even a laser level beam will tell you....
First thing I would do however, is call up this hot rod shop and tell them the problem.....they should fix it gratis.........
The shims that gearjammer posted are a great option but if you dont use them it might simply be that everything is as you said: not lined up. Sometimes the custom brackets are shorter or longer slightly. Ive seen where some guys have to cut 1/4" off a bracket set or use washer to SHIM OUT the entire device to make it line up with the other items.
OR, its possible the AC is slanted? If its not straight it'll toss the belt. Most likely the older items should be left alone since the ac was added later. Its not an uncommon problem.
Dont look at the brackets for lining, look at the pulleys and belts.
Went ahead and used a straight edge off the crank pulley to measure all of the distances from the center of the pulleys to the straight edge. The idler pulley is 1/8" too deep, and the compressor pulley is 1/4" too deep. I measured both sides of the comp pulley and they are the same so I don't think it is slanted. Looks like I will need the shims.
As for calling up the shop, I think that would be far more hassle than it is worth. I agree they should fix it, but I have the car down right now for other work and I would have to tow it there, wouldn't be able to start it to test it, etc. I'll just fix it myself.
I have a different engine (1975 Chevy 350), but I found that there was quite a bit of play in how the PS bracket could be bolted on the pump, and it made a lot of difference in pulley alignment. I first used a metal carpenter's square to insure the bracket mounting surface was exactly 90 degrees to the pump body, and that the pulley surface was exactly parallel to the mounting surface (I found I had a bent pulley).
I also determined that the custom bracket for my Seltec AC compressor was interfering with the stock PS bracket and pulley, and the interference depended on how far I had to move it to tension the belt. I had to remove the AC bracket and grind it in a few places to make sure the PS pump could move freely in the entire range and not get pushed out of alignment by the AC bracket.

U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy denied environmental groups' request for an injunction to stop wolf hunts in Montana and Idaho, ruling Tuesday night that the plaintiffs "failed to show a likelihood of irreparable harm to the wolf population." It means Montana's first state-sponsored wolf hunting season will begin as planned Sept. 15.
But environmental groups are still claiming victory, because Molloy also ruled that, although they didn't meet their burden for issuing a preliminary injunction, they "are likely to be able to meet their burden to show the balance of equities tip in their favor. They would also likely prevail in showing an injunction is in the public interest."
"We're feeling very positive and optimistic that in the long run we have an enormous chance of success in this case," says Louisa Willcox of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).
NRDC and a handful of other environmental groups sued the federal government in June over its decision to remove wolves from the endangered species list in Montana and Idaho and give management authority to the states, which allow for hunting. Montana set a wolf hunt quota of 75 wolves, Idaho 220. Idaho's hunt began Sept. 1.
"We are concerned about what might happen in the meantime...," Willcox says. "We hope that people are prudent and careful. And we also think that wolves might be harder to hunt than people believe."
Jerry Brenner of Frenchtown's Five Valley Taxidermy, for one, is happy with Molloy's decision.
"That's good," he says. "I've been keeping my eye on it and I've had a lot of customers that have called and asked me about prices to do a wolf."

Maya cosplay help!

I'm in the middle of making a Maya too. I scrounged around and found some great Maya cosplayers out there, and all of them have been more than happy to answer questions for me.
page is translated from Spanish, but Nebulaluben is one of my favourites, and she has a few great posts on how she put hers together. You can also find her on DeviantArt, I PMed her on there and she was great.
also has a small photo tutorial not too far down her page on how she put together her body suit.
As far as fabrics go, I'm using something called scuba knit, which is something like two layers of spandex, so it's got a good thickness without worrying about layers bunching. I'm using yellow and silver spandex, as well as a sort of fishnet mesh for some of the detail.
My pants are made from a one-way stretch suiting material that has a nice gentle gloss to it, with grey suiting for the pockets/side details.
As far as tattoos go, there are heaps of brands out there, but I suggest an ink or liquid body paint, as it makes it worlds easier to get it looking even.
I made her class mod out of a box-that-looks-like-a-book, and kept it functional for storing things in at conventions.
For weapons, NERF are an excellent and cheap place to start, but I have a pet peeve after seeing so many cosplayers with poorly painted, unmodified Nerf. So if you do go there, consider cutting and gluing your gun, sanding off the NERF logo, and using a good paint scheme.
If you need reference images, I have some great, decently high-res ones that I'm happy to share.
If you'd like to be pointed in the direction of a couple of great wigs, I'm happy to share that too.
Hope that helps a bit. Happy to answer more questions or help along the way if you need it.

WATCH: The Music of Super Bowl XLVIII
Let's start with Queen Latifah. It's been a big week for her - first, she married over 30 couples at the Grammys. And then last night, she kicked off the musical festivities at the Super Bowl when she sang America The Beautiful.
Soon after, Grammy-winning opera singer Renee Fleming did Rochester proud when she performed the National Anthem.
And of course, the performance everyone was talking about - the Half Time Show, with Bruno Mars & the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Born/raised: Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Canada Current home: Pointe-Claire Quebec, Canada Education: B.Eng. (2012), McGill University
With what kind of projects are you involved? I recently completed an internship with Resource Efficient Agricultural Production (REAP)-CANADA as a Renewable Energy Intern. I completed two months at REAP-CANADA's Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue (Montreal), Quebec head office where I supported their switchgrass research project. One of the goals of REAP's Canadian-based switchgrass project is to increase biomass yields through selective plant breeding, with the aim of using switchgrass as an alternative biofuel.
I followed that internship with a four-month component abroad in Wack Ngouna, Senegal, West Africa, where I raised awareness about clean cooking, improved cookstoves and deforestation caused by traditional cooking methods. That work supported the local partner, Cadre Local de Concertation des Organisations de Producteurs (CLCOP), with the promotion and distribution of REAP's two improved cookstove designs, both of which are manufactured locally: the Mayon Turbo Stove (MTS) and the REAP Clay Brick Stove. The MTS is a conical metal stove that uses agricultural residues as a fuel, such as peanut shells, which would have otherwise gone to waste. The ashes can then be used in multiple ways, including as a fertilizer and soil amendment. The REAP Clay Brick Stove resembles the traditional three-stone open fire with three stacks of fired bricks upon which the cooking pot rests. It is surrounded by a round brick wall that shields the fire from the wind and improves the heat transfer from the fire to the cooking pot. It reduces the amount of fuelwood required, decreasing both the amount of time spent collecting such fuelwood and the rate of deforestation.
What was it about the discipline that drew you to agricultural and biological engineering? I initially started out in bioresource engineering with an interest in addressing environmental issues. I knew that the environment was something important for everyone's well-being and that these problems needed solutions, so I wanted to learn more about what could be done. However, through my education, I was exposed to the possibilities of addressing international development issues within the realm of food security. I took a strong interest in this since I consider people's well-being, especially of basic needs such as food, of utmost importance. I think that my desire to help others and my interest in problem-solving have both played a role in choosing agricultural and biological engineering.

The Londoner notes how few of the celebrities who are normally so keen to enlighten us with their thoughts on important events — from which chocolate bar they prefer to what's on telly — tweeted on the death of Lady Thatcher. Even avowed Lefties among them were noticeable by their absence from Twitter on Monday, including Graham Norton, Clare Balding, Fearne Cotton, Jonathan Ross, Lily Allen and Rio Ferdinand.
Some (Claudia Winkleman and Richard Bacon) used the former prime minister's death to plug their radio shows, while Ricky Gervais, Dara Ó Briain and Russell Brand merely retweeted others' views. Even comedian Frankie Boyle reined himself in with a couple of innocuous jokes. Alan Carr, Eddie Izzard and Jimmy Carr didn't appear at all. Were they all afraid to lose half their followers? It was left to comedian Sarah Millican to put her head above the parapet with "A lot of miners are discovering they can dance today."

US technology and defence giant Lockheed Martin has acquired UK business Amor Group for an undisclosed sum.
The deal will see the Scotland-based IT firm become part of Lockheed Martin's information systems and global solutions business, the company said.
Amor Group operates in the energy, transport and public services sector. Its acquisition is said to put Lockheed Martin into Britain's top 10 companies for IT services.
Employing around 600 people at offices in the UK, Dubai and Texas, Amor last year reported revenues up 27% to £57.2 million and trading profit up 22% to £8.1 million.
Chief executive John Innes said: "We were at the stage in our life cycle where we were looking at refinancing to support our growth ambitions as well as allow our private equity partners to exit in line with their original investment plans.
"The opportunity to become a part of Lockheed Martin is fantastic, not least because of the remarkable synergies between our cultures and ambitions. They offer a strong platform for growth in terms of talent, clients, geographic footprint, offerings and investment."
Stephen Ball, Lockheed Martin's UK chief executive, said: "This transaction provides opportunities for both Amor Group and Lockheed Martin to grow through innovative IT technology and key international markets."
One of Amor Group's investors was Scottish Enterprise, the government agency promoting economic development and innovation.
Scotland's Finance Secretary John Swinney said: "Since the group was formed in 2009 Amor has seen significant growth and now employs over 600 people across the UK. That growth reflects both the skills and expertise of the company's management and workforce and Scotland's ability to nurture and grow highly successful technology businesses.
"This acquisition by one of the world's largest aerospace and technology companies demonstrates Amor's international standing, Scotland's attractiveness to global investors and their confidence in Scotland's economy. Through our enterprise agencies we look forward to continued working with the company and supporting further growth."
Headquartered in Maryland, Lockheed Martin specialises in global security and aerospace and employs around 116,000 people worldwide.Reuse content

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – The Northern Arizona women's tennis team waited nearly two months to finally play on its home court and they took full advantage of its home-opening doubleheader making quick work of Portland State and Valparaiso. The Lumberjacks did not drop a match in either contest as they cruised to a pair of 7-0 sweeps at Continental Country Club to open their seven-match home schedule on Sunday.
"Anytime we can bring home two 7-0 wins back-to-back is an accomplishment for our program," said director of tennis Kim Bruno. "For us to come out and take care of them and get that first win against Portland State which is a much improved team from last year to start off the day was great. Then to finish off with another good Division I win was what we need to do at home."
In their first half of their Sunday doubleheader, the Lumberjacks came out on fire following a pair of losses a week ago. Behind a doubles sweep in which it did not drop more than three games in any of the three matches, NAU took a 1-0 lead over Portland State despite windy playing conditions.
Sophomore Hannah Stone began singles play with a win at No. 1 and was then followed by seniors Alice Pacaut and Ghizelene Doballah as the pair won their respective matches at No. 5 and 2 to clinch the team score at 4-0. The remaining singles matches would fall in the Lumberjacks' favor as well as NAU wrapped up its second perfect conference win of the season after it swept all nine matches in its 7-0 win at Northern Colorado on Feb. 24.
The Lumberjacks repeated their morning performance in their afternoon session as they welcomed Valparaiso to Flagstaff for the first all-time meeting between the two schools. Doubles play followed the same morning script as the three Lumberjack duos each won their respective matches to carry a 1-0 lead into singles play. As dominant as NAU was in singles play against Portland State, it was even more so against Valparaiso. The Lumberjacks went six-for-six against the Crusaders and it won 10 of the 12 sets by either a 6-0 or 6-1 margin.
Stone, Doballah, Pacaut as well as seniors Nicole Perez and Malia Wahinepio all won both of their singles matches while sophomore Johanna Vang (versus Portland State) and junior Tatum Rochin (versus Valparaiso) each won one.
Following Sunday's doubleheader sweep, Perez is the first Lumberjack to reach double-digit singles victories as she improved to a team-best 10-6 with Pacaut just behind at 9-7. Pacaut and Wahinepio have now won 10 of their last 11 matches at No. 3 doubles and are now owners of an 11-3 doubles record.
The Lumberjacks (8-8 overall, 2-1 in the Big Sky) will embark on their second to final road trip of the regular season this upcoming weekend. They will play at St. Cloud State on Friday and then will make the trip to North Dakota for their fourth conference match of the spring on Saturday before wrapping up the regular season with five of their final seven matches at home.

Good egg: Ford has been praised by international ethics authority Ethisphere for its business practices, corporate responsibilities and culture.
8 March 2016
By DANIEL GARDNER
FORD has chalked up its seventh consecutive ethical business award from
international ethics institute Ethisphere, and is the only car-maker among the
131 top global companies recognised in the 2016 list.
Now in its tenth year, the global award assesses the world's major
organisations for transparency, integrity and ethics, with only the best
performers making the final World's Most Ethical Companies list.
Clocking up seven awards in a row, Ford is the most decorated vehicle
manufacturer by Ethisphere, which commended the North American automotive giant
in the areas of compliance, corporate citizenship and responsibilities, culture
of ethics, governance and leadership and reputation.
Ethisphere is a global authority in the definition and advancement of ethical
business codes of practice, and honours companies from all sectors in the
annual list.
For the 2016 honour roll, Ford was one of just three representatives from the
automotive industry, joining diesel engine specialists Cummins and technology
supplier Delphi Automotive in the final ranking.
With seven gongs to its name, Ford is the clear Ethisphere champ but other car
brands have been selected for the award in previous years. Toyota and BMW
featured on the 2009 list, Honda made the grade in 2008 and Volvo had its
moment in 2007.
Far more than an attractive piece of glassware for the trophy cabinet, Ford
says consumers are increasingly rating the trustworthiness of large
multinational organisations as an important aspect of their purchasing
decisions, and the Ethisphere award bolsters its brand power.
"More than half of respondents to the 2016 Harris Poll Reputation Quotient said
they learn more about a company before deciding to do business with them," it
said in a statement. "More than one-third decided not to do business with a
company if they perceive the business has a negative reputation."
Ethisphere CEO Timothy Erblich said the car-maker had been singled out for its
focus on trust.
"Ford understands that trust is the cornerstone of everything it does, and
their commitment to being an active part of a global community helps explain
why they are the only auto-maker Ethisphere has recognised every year since
2010," he said. "Being honoured for the seventh time is no small achievement.
"This honour celebrates our employees who are committed to doing the right
things and making the right choices," said Ford Motor Company executive
chairman Bill Ford. "Ethics and corporate citizenship are the foundation of
what drives us to make people's lives better."
Two Australian companies were also awarded in the 2016 index, with National
Australia Bank (NAB) and the Teachers Mutual Bank mentioned among companies
from all regions of the globe.

Hong Kong fears 'mainlandization'
By Ching Cheong, The Straits Times/Asia News Network Friday, September 9, 2011, 12:33 pm TWN
HONG KONG -- The unusually tight security thrown around China's Vice Premier Li Keqiang during his recent visit left Hong Kong citizens furious that their freedoms were being eroded, and fearful of more "mainlandization" to come.
Mainlandization — perhaps a twist on the term "Finlandization" — refers to the gradual acceptance of values and norms prevalent in mainland China but alien to Hong Kong. Put another way, it means the erosion of freedom, plurality, tolerance, respect for human rights and the rule of law — core values embraced by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR).
Hong Kongers accuse the city's politicians and police of compromising these values in deference to Beijing.
They pointed to the security arrangements for Li, who is widely expected to be promoted to the premiership next year.
For example, Hong Kong police threw a 200-meter cordon around the Chinese leader, which effectively prevented anyone, including journalists, from approaching him. Those who breached it found the police at the ready to stop them.
A man wearing a "June 4th" T-shirt, which is not an offense in Hong Kong, was stopped near his home and removed from the scene by police. Three students were wrestled to the ground at the University of Hong Kong and prevented from attending a ceremony there.
Such rough treatment by Hong Kong police during visits by other Chinese leaders, including Premier Wen Jiabao, is unheard of. Many recalled that during Wen's visit in 2003, people were allowed to get close to him.
Local journalists complained that they could not do their job properly because they were kept so far away from the Chinese leader. They could not report on many of Li's activities because nearly half of them were not open to the media.
Instead, for the first time, they were told to use articles, TV scripts and photos provided by the Hong Kong authorities.
After Li's visit, more than 300 journalists wearing black shirts marched to the police headquarters to protest against infringement on press freedom.
Chief Secretary Henry Tang, the No. 2 official in Hong Kong, defended the security arrangements and admitted that it would become the norm.
Ming Pao Daily News immediately pointed out in an editorial that this was a major step backward for press freedom.
Many people saw the SAR's police force morphing into China's gong an (public security) or wei wen (maintain stability) force, and practice of government-supplied news as being borrowed from China's propaganda department.
Security Secretary Ambrose Lee and Commissioner of Police Andy Tsang were taken to task at a special session of the Hong Kong legislature.

RENO, Nev. -- In a tightly contested match, the University of Nevada men's tennis team dropped a 4-3 decision to Pacific on the courts at the Lakeridge Tennis Club Saturday.
The loss dropped Nevada to 5-5 (0-1 WAC), while Pacific improved to 4-5 (1-0 Big West).
In the final singles match of the evening, Jordan Rozenfeld was called for a foot fault by the head official on match point, giving the win to Erik Cedarwall and Pacific.
Nevada won the first three singles matches against the Tigers, giving Wessim Derbel, Victor Ouvrard and Moez Echargui two singles wins on the weekend.
In doubles play, Echargui and Quentin Mege snagged Nevada's only win at No. 2.
Nevada will head back out onto the road for two matches in Santa Barbara, Calif. next week, with the first coming against the Gauchos Sunday at 1 p.m. The Pack will stay in southern California to take on Hawai'i on Tuesday at 1:30 p.m.

Conflict resolution
Conflict is an integral part of living in community. The University expects its members first to employ honest, direct and civil dialogue as a means of resolving conflict. If, despite this effort, conflict persists, resources exist to help parties resolve disputes.
First- and second-year students in conflict with roommates ordinarily request help from their residential college advisers. When additional assistance is required, students may seek the help of a peer mediator by making a request of their RCA, college dean or director of studies (for first- and second-year students) or Dean Mike Olin (for upperclass students). For information on the peer mediation program, see "Ombuds Office," below.
The Ombuds Office also offers conflict resolution assistance to students, faculty and staff.
Conflict involving violence, the threat of violence or other breaches of conduct regulations should be reported to the Department of Public Safety at (609) 258-3134.

In love with my 2012 SRT8 GC
Finally was able to swing the purchase of our soup to nuts fully loaded 2012 SRT8 GC. Deep cherry red, one owner, 18k, jeep certified, plus max care lifetime warranty through the dealer with Lojack installed, panoramic roof, and Harmin Kardon stereo. I really love this thing so far, and im looking forward to the road ahead. I plan on posting pics from the real camera once its warm enough to clean it good.
Re: In love with my 2012 SRT8 GC

Congrats, my favorite color.
Re: In love with my 2012 SRT8 GC
very nice. Any mods planned?
Re: In love with my 2012 SRT8 GC
Thanks guys, im beyond excited about it. I really really want to lower the ass end bad. Ive been reading alot of everyones posts to try and find the best setup. Looks like the eibachs in the rear only may be the way to go but do you have to buy all 4 springs just to use 2? anyway @artofnoize your jeep is so serious!! love it. Im trying to see as many deep cherry red srt's as i can to get inspiration.
Welcome! Beautiful jeep my friend!
Re: In love with my 2012 SRT8 GC
Welcome to JeepGarage! Unfortunately, joining was a huge financial mistake. It is only a matter of time before you become discontent with your 2012 SRT and trade up for a 2014 SRT like everyone else seems to be doing. :lol:
Re: In love with my 2012 SRT8 GC
awesome ride my man!!! really cool.... ps i like the color alot ;)
I always liked the SRT jeeps. The 14 is my first one but I'm guessing not the last. The only problem I'm having now is do I mod the bejesus out of this one knowing the hellcat is coming or sell it when the time comes. It'd be nice to have a factory supercharged engine under warranty :D
