Lauren and Michael were married in downtown Columbia, S.C. on December 29. After searching for the perfect urban vibe, they settled with 701 Whaley, a loft known for it's high ceilings, concrete floors, and exposed brick walls. The bride wore a custom sweetheart a-line wedding gown, accessorized with a faux fur stole, rose gold drop diamond earrings, and Badgley Mischka peep-toe heels. Bridesmaids looked simple yet classic in their little black dresses, accessorized with emerald pashmina shawls. "My favorite moment of the day was when we had our first look," Lauren said. "There was so much anticipation, and I was beginning to feel a little overwhelmed, but once I saw Michael, it was like none of that mattered. I was right where I wanted to be!" Following the traditional church ceremony, the reception began, and boy was it beautiful. Just look at those black and white striped linens, pomegranates at each place setting, chalkboard mural, and paper flower wall behind the cake!

Ok, well as of today im almost 5 weeks post op and i am not really that happy with my results. I always had a nice figure till i gained the weight for this procedure , thinking that it would be all sucked out durring lipo and used for a ggod cause..WRONG...i still have fat on my back that looks like it was never touched i have this lower back fat or maybe it could b swelling but it is not going down as fast as everything else that i never had before. I look the exact same as i did before i gained the weight in the waist,,which kinda pissesme off..as for my ass i feel like he just threw the fat on there and didn't shape me at all actually i don't feel it i can see it..it is funny shaped and i am so not happy with it! yea it may b bigger but so what a big sloppy ass id not cute ,at least not to me..every day is like a roller coster one day i am kinda happy with it the next i am so mad i even did the procedure..i feel as if i went to dr. campos i would of had tottally diff results. dr.p is a good dr. and very kind but did not give me what i wanted. i have seen girls go in bigger than me come out with a smaller waist than what i got..wth? actually he did not even lipo my upper waist at all..i know it was kinda little to begin with but he could of took something so i see a difference..i am really hoping tht in a month or so i see better results but as of now they are not the greatest and NOTHING like i expected...I can say club med was the BEST!!! I would recommend all you girls to go there if u plan on going to mexico. They are great people and take such good care of you i do plan on going to get a tummy tuck after my next kid and i will b staying there again and going to campos..oh yea thts right my tummy looks worse than what it was b4 surgery!

Technology Clusters in Northwest Ohio
|What are technology clusters?
Geographic concentrations of interconnected companies and institutions, such as trade associations, training providers, financial institutions, economic development organizations that work together to solve problems and create opportunities for all involved.
Technology Clusters for NW Ohio
The University of Toledo's Urban Affairs Center, working collaboratively with Bowling Green State University's Center for Policy Analysis and Public Service, identified a number of technology clusters for Northwest Ohio that are the focus of a coordinated economic development program involving the Regional Growth Partnership, the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority, the City of Toledo, and Lucas County. Technology clusters are geographic concentrations of industry that are supported by related institutions (e.g., trade associations), government agencies, and university programs to share knowledge and create a critical mass of talent that increases the local industry's overall competitiveness. The UT/BGSU Study identified three industrial sector clusters (automotive, plastics/glass, and specialized agriculture) and four cross-cutting clusters (transportation, alternative energy, information technology, and advanced engineering). University of Toledo researchers are supporting three clusters: specialized agriculture, transportation, and alternative energy.
Specialized Agriculture:
Through funding from the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and the USDA, UT is working with the Agricultural Research Service unit located at The University of Toledo to support the local greenhouse industry. The cluster is led by local growers, now called Maumee Valley Growers, who have already commissioned a marketing plan. The growers are working with ARS and UT scientists and engineering on a number of projects, including work on hydrogels that allow plants to stay fresh longer on the shelves, and co-op purchasing opportunities such as propane and business insurance from area private sector vendors. A new website featuring the best of research, statistical data and retail and wholesale area trade information is nearing completion and will be "live" the first of the year: www.maumeevalleygrowers.com
The University of Toledo's Intermodal Transportation Institute provides research and educational program support and focus to the region's transportation cluster. The ITI was successful in winning a US Department of Transportation University Transportation Center and is a major collaborator in a multi-university UTC led by the University of Detroit-Mercy. Focusing on intermodal transportation issues, transportation utilization, transportation planning, and transportation technologies relating to alternative energy use and energy efficiency, the ITI has a range of projects underway, most of which are collaborations with local industry or government agencies.
Alternative Energy:
The alternative energy cluster is a cluster of emerging technologies that cut across a number of industrial sectors. As an emerging research-intensive cluster, the technology is strongly grounded by research and academic programs at The University of Toledo. Major activities are underway in photovoltaics that support growing national companies such as First Solar LLC of Perrysburg, photovoltaic hydrogen, that links well to MWOE, a UT spinoff company, and other companies that produce systems or technologies for solar energy, such as ITF or McMaster Energy Enterprises. Other technologies include work on fuel cells, biomass (biodiesel and ethanol), energy storage, systems integration for alternative energy systems, and wind energy.

When you type "ssh -R 20001:localhost:1999 -p 1999 firstname.lastname@example.com -vv" you just make your SSH server listening on the 20001 port as well. It is the server of your home pc, not your work pc.
It means that when this session is opened your home computer has two ssh ports (1999 and 20001).
Basicly it says "when someone connects to my.home.pc:20001 forward him to localhost:1999" or by other words "when someone connects to my.home.pc:20001 forward him to my.home.pc:1999"
I think here is your problem. I am not exactly sure what is your goal since you dont have SSH server on your work pc there is nowhere to connect then to your home pc.

Meet Craig Daily Press' new editorial board
June 27, 2013
Craig Daily Press Editorial Board members
• Noelle Leavitt Riley, Craig Daily Press managing editor
• Renee Campbell, Craig Daily Press general manager
• Amy Fontenot, Craig Daily Press office/circulation manager
• Randy Looper, owner of the Elk Run Inn
• Amanda Field, Wells Fargo home mortgage consultant in Craig
• Ken Wergin, retired
I'm pleased to announce that the Craig Daily Press has formed a new Editorial Board that meets Wednesdays at the newsroom. The board will consider local issues and publish an editorial opinion on those issues each week in the Saturday Morning Press.
We met this Wednesday to discuss the kind of board we envision, and I'm thrilled that we're all on the same page about how we want to convey our thoughts to the community. We decided that we want to remain positive and try to look at both sides of all issues.
The goal is to offer carefully considered stances on issues of importance. Newspapers should foster healthy dialogue and debate about community issues. It is important that, in the interest of transparency, the newspaper offer its stance on issues that matter and offer space in return to those with opposing views.
We want to make sure a variety of community voices and perspectives are represented. That's the thought behind including community representatives on the Editorial Board.
We welcome presentations to the Editorial Board from individuals and advocacy groups. Of course, thoughts, feedback and input on local issues always are welcome.
If you have an issue on which you think the Editorial Board should take a stance or if you would like to be considered for Editorial Board membership in the future, contact me at 970-875-1790 or email@example.com.

For the last 3 Months. Every third cold startup or so, I get a misfire code on Cylinder #3 (P0303), and twice or three times gotten a "Multiple Cyl Misfire" (P0300).
Some history:
Car has 144K
Always gentle warmups, waiting 20 seconds for idle to slow from 1500 before moving.
Stock Tune, Filters, FMIC, the whole deal.
Replaced spark plugs when Misfire codes started (Volvo OEM)
Traded Coilpack #3 and #1 to see if problem "moves" with part, to no avail.
Car doesn't buck for seem like it's misfiring at all, MIL usually comes up at 15 MPH.
Could this be a bad knock sensor? Your input is appreciated.

Islanders 4, Panthers 3: Casey Cizikas scored to snap a tie with 7:05 remaining in the third period as visiting New York rebounded after squandering a three-goal lead earlier in the session.
Brad Boyes tallied for the third straight game and Kyle Okposo and defenseman Radek Martinek also scored. Evgeni Nabokov turned aside 27 shots for the Islanders, who improved to 5-1-1 in March.
Defenseman T.J. Brennan scored in his first contest with his new team after being acquired from Buffalo on Friday. Marcel Goc and Mike Santorelli tallied 69 seconds apart to forge a 3-3 tie for the Panthers, who fell to 0-5-1 in their last six games and 1-14-4 when their opponent scores the first goal.
Cizikas regained the advantage for the Islanders after accepting a centering feed from Colin McDonald before his one-timer in the slot sailed past Scott Clemmensen (21 saves). Nabokov made the slim advantage stand up as New York secured its first regulation win at the Panthers since March 17, 2007.
After stopping all 18 shots in New York's 2-0 triumph over Tampa Bay on Thursday, Nabokov breezed into the third period with a 3-0 lead against Florida. Brennan ended the Russian netminder's bid for his 55th career shutout at 5:09 of the session before Goc went under the crossbar just 34 seconds later. Santorelli leveled the contest at 3-3 after cleaning up a rebound from Jack Skille's shot.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Boyes has nine points (four goals, five assists) in his last seven contests. ... The Panthers, who failed on their lone power-play attempt, are 0-for-17 with the man advantage in March. ... Florida D Ed Jovanovski returned to the ice after being sidelined with a knee injury since Jan. 29. He exited after the second period on Saturday.

"Very tasty, nutritious and pretty on a plate. I used tri-color quinoa just for a bit of a change from regular. I also used raisins instead of currants because I had them on hand, and sunflower seeds for pine nuts (due to allergies in the family). If making for over the holidays, I think I'll try using some dried cranberries. Will definitely make this again!"
Reviewed May. 16, 2014
"Excellent way to bring kale to the dinner table. We used plain 'ol raisins instead of the currents and sunflower kernels for the pine nuts (cheaper and provides same effect). Leftovers make great wraps when you add chopped chicken and a drizzling of creamy Caesar dressing (microwave about 30 seconds for 1100 watt oven and then fold up.)"

LED fixtures designed for daytime and nighttime lighting on communication, television and radio towers, wind turbines
Hughey & Phillips (H&P) announces the new HORIZON™ line of medium-intensity strobe LED based obstruction lighting solutions for daytime and nighttime lighting on tall structures such as communication, television and radio towers, wind turbines, smokestacks and other obstructions to aerial navigation.
Intertek (ETL) certified and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved, the L-864/865 provides both daytime white and nighttime red lights within a single unit, and is part of the newest addition to H&P's obstruction lighting portfolio, the HORIZON™ line. The series is available in L864 (Red), L865 (White) and L864/L865 (Red/White). Daytime white strobe eliminates the need to paint the structure with aviation orange and white stripes, and nighttime red flashing beacon lights are community friendly. The HORIZON™ L-864/865 is best suited for structures between 150' (45 m) and 500' (150 m) above ground level and operates at a range of 95-277VAC, 50/60Hz.
The new microprocessor controlled LED strobe system boasts a self-contained power supply that simplifies wiring but also accepts external signals if necessary. Its compact design, built-in testing, GPS sync, automatic day/night sensor and wiring compatibility make the product easy to use and install. Like other products in the HORIZON™ line, the units are compatible with existing cable systems in most cases, allowing users to retrofit to LED without purchasing entire new systems.

Hanging a heavy framed mirror with no hangers
I have an old bathroom mirror that was framed by adhering the frame directly to the glass. Hence, when you see it from behind, all you see is the mirror, no frame edge. Here's the dilemma: I can't add hangers because there is no wood for them to screw into. I can't use plastic clips because the frame makes the mirror too thick. Does anyone have a good idea for how I can attach it to a wall without using adhesive? The mirror is ridiculously heavy--not sure how much, but I'm guessing close to 50 lbs. Up until now it's just been on a mantle, leaning, but in the remodel, the mantle has gone away.
Put the mirror in a traditional frame.
Photos would help with the present situation.
Unfortunately, the frame was attached to the front of the mirror with adhesive, so there's no way to get it off. I'm at work, so can't do pictures since they are at home. However, the best way I can describe it is to imagine the front looking like a regular framed mirror. Now imagine the back as just a plain mirror, no frame. I keep thinking the only way is to adhere some sort of hanger(s) to the back, but as heavy as it is, I don't know if there are any adhesives out there that would hold the weight.
Glass can be drilled, so drill four holes from the back and screw it to the wall.
Another option would be to use a ledger board at the top and bottom, with clips to hold it in.
Wildie--I had wondered about that. I'll have to do some checking to see how it's done. I do remember that I need to tape over where I'm drilling to help prevent cracking. Thanks!:)
Your construction glass (or fine arts glass if you have one) supplier will have options for floating the mirror without clips. An expoxy or construction adhesive might let you glue weld just about any sort of bracket rated for the weight of the mirror to the back of it. Just make sure the part of it or whatever fasteners in the wall are strong enough and anchored properly. Be careful not to damage the silvering.
Anchoring a mirror that heavy through holes drilled at four corners would not be a great option.
I have used a system somewhat like this for floating heavy glass or flat resin sculptures in the gallery world. As show you start with with a block of hardwood that will run near the full width of the piece and I guess 3/4" thick. Slice it at an angle as shown. One half gets leveled and anchored into the wall. The other gets construction glued to the back of the piece. When the glue is set, lift the piece with strip glued to it in place so it drops into the matching half attached to the wall. This provides good support the full width of the piece and distributes the weight.
I guess you are right. Silvering would be problematic. I guess I would worry about a drilled hole rocking around the fastener and chipping put one could put a bushing or liner in I guess.
I recently hung a mantle using the cleat approach that sdsester showed in the drawing.
Why not drill through two (top and bottom) cleats/glass and attach the cleats to the back of the frame every 6 inches or so. No visible screws and the cleat should be able carry the weight.
Option 2
If the frame has a straight edge (not ornate) then maybe adding a perimeter frame that you can drill into would work.
I had seen the cleats, but didn't know if there was any adhesive strong enough to stay attached to the mirror. I can just see it giving way in the middle of the night! Someone else had suggest calling a glass company. I may just do that. I just hate to pay someone for something I feel like I should be able to do. On the other hand, sometimes it's worth it to forego the inconvenience.
Construction adhesive would hold to the glass, especially across the width of the mirror put the problem is you would have to chew up the silvering in places if it is the outside coating on the back.
A glass company should have a number of floating systems.
Sometimes you need to let an experienced hand do a job, especially if the consequences of failure will cause injury.
I think this would be one of those cases.
sdsester--the problem is that they don't have anything that comes out far enough from the wall to accommodate the thickness of the glass and the frame.
Ron--I would screw the one cleat to the wall. The problem here is that the other cleat has to attach directly to the back of the mirror, so how could I do that?
I called 2 glass places. One said she had no idea how to work around this. The other suggested using glass adhesive to attach a board to the back of the mirror, then attach hangers to that. Sounds like the best plan so far.
How does attaching a board with glass adhesive differ from attaching the top half of the cleat I showed? And at least with the cleat you have load bearing surface along the full length, not just where you would put hangers. I just cannot visualize how to glue either part of a cleat or a board without mucking up the silver backing.

Oval Wedding Cake - 3 Flavors With Rolled Buttercream
I am very partial to this cake because it is MY wedding cake! ;~) My mom told me I was crazy to make my own, but I did it anyway. The bottom and top tiers are lemon pound cake with lemon curd filling, the second tier is chocolate pound cake with chocolate ganache filling, and the third is carrot cake with white chocolate cream cheese filling. The whole thing is frosted with white chocolate cream cheese frosting and covered with rolled buttercream. I don't know how it tasted because I didn't get any except the the bite I had for the pictures! I heard it was delicious, though!

I think that was a Russian rocket!
By now you've probably heard of the mysterious spiral light show over Norway this morning. It was captured on video by dozens of people and seen across a huge swath of Northern Norway. Well I've examined the videos available and I have to say this looks to be some sort of misfired Russian rocket.
Something seen in the sky across such a large area would have to be at a tremendous altitude. Almost as high, say, as a satellite launch or test run for a missile or rocket of some kind. Also, the blue spiral appears to be a matter of perspective, as a rocket twisting around would appear to make tight spirals while far away and larger ones as it got closer. Now the white spiral pinwheeling in the sky could only occur if the object was moving more or less perpendicular to the observer (i.e. coming right for you), which would account for the illusion of a stationary spin. Whatever is being dumped from this rocket, be it exhaust, fuel, horrible chemical weapons, etc. is simply escaping in a straight line while the center rotates.
Now Norwegians aren't known for very many rocket tests, as they tend to spend a lot of military efforts on infantry trained to defend the fjords. Their space program is also pretty relaxed and, if it was launching something, probably would've had an announcement of some kind.
Really the only country nearby with this kind of technology and a motivation to be testing high-altitude rockets is Russia. What they're planning, and what we may have accidentally had revealed to us, we may not know until it's too late.

Hey, that definitely was not a Russian rocket!
Hello my good friends,
I am writing to you from Zvyozdny gorodok at a…uh, training facility. For…science. Yes. Anyway, I was logging on to my ROL account to check my email when one of the newsgroups I subscribe to posted a story about some lights in Norway.
Totally weird, man!
Some crazy people are suggesting, get this, that WE did it! Crazy, right? I mean look at that video. We don't have anything that cool, believe me! Nope, we're still all "rolling iron" and rusted tanks and sunk submarines. Nothing to see here. This? This looks like aliens, to me. Yeah. Aliens.
Think about it. What reason do we have to test high-altitude intercontinental ballistic missiles? What? I didn't say ICBM, you said it. Are you sure? I'm pretty sure you said it first because otherwise I would have no reason to even bring up such a funny word!
Plus, who would we even want to shoot with this thing? America? Come on, we've been pals ever since you guys won that war of attrition and our economy collapsed. What? Are we gonna join forces with China and try to jumpstart a neo-Communist worldwide revolution by taking down a severely overextended superpower? Like we'd even think of that sort of thing!
Just wanted to let you guys know it totally wasn't us. Just to show we're on the same team, we've dispatched a covert Special Forces unit into Northern Norway to retrieve any pieces that might have fallen off the missi-…space ship.
Vladimir Putin
Everyone in Norway should turn off their video cameras and not look up tomorrow night.
Gary Baxter is RIGHT!

Great ATO By Bill on 6/18/2017Bill would recommend this product to a friendI am new to the reef tank hobby and being well versed in freshwater i did not know an ATO was nessasary for saltwater. But after dealing with evaporation i knew i needed an ATO and this Tunze Ato is great. For the time i have had it i have had no problems at all. Got a 10 gallon brute can and it goes for 10 days without problem . Highly recommend this ATO.
Love the topoff by Tunze !!! By Sedonaiceman on 5/30/2017Sedonaiceman would recommend this product to a friendSaves my lugging water , time and acclimation to the kids !!! Love it , thank you , sedonaiceman
NISE By PETRO on 5/19/2017PETRO would recommend this product to a friendYOU'LL SLEEP WELL WITH IT
Great product and easy instalation By Bill on 5/18/2017Bill would recommend this product to a friendOnly had this ATO a few months now. It was very easy to install. Everything seems to be working fine no issues other than one day the alarm was going off. After only a few months of running apparently the electric I had something on it and so when I wiped it off the alarm stopped. The alarm was going off because the ATO started running and increase the water level in the song so good thing it had the secondary shut off and it shut it off that set off the alarm. Great safety feature seems to be a great ATO and I'm very happy.
Good quality product; easy to install By Nam on 5/9/2017Nam would recommend this product to a friendThis ATO works very nicely and is ready to use with a few simple installation steps. It comes with everything (ie. pump and tubing) so all you have to do is drop the pump into your water reservoir, set the sensor, and plug in the ATO.
Loving it! By Joshua on 5/8/2017Joshua would recommend this product to a friendI was recommended this by a fellow reefer and I'm glad he did. It's quiet and i haven't had any problems with it at all, yet. I would go with anything else.
Works Great By Dave on 4/20/2017Dave would recommend this product to a friendEasy to use and setup, works great!
EASY INSTALL WORK LIKE A CHARM By Red on 4/13/2017Red would recommend this product to a friendI got this one in from BRS and nice easy install and works like a charm. just be careful of the magnets you get those stuck they are a pain to pull apart. tip leave them on the foam until you need to put on tank.
Great product By Flea on 4/4/2017Flea would recommend this product to a friendWorks great keeps water lol steady
It works By Brian on 4/3/2017Brian would recommend this product to a friendIt's impossible to say whether this is a quality product after only owning it for a month, it's brand new so I would fully expect it ro work and do everything as advertised. I'll just have to wait and see how it functions 2 or 3 years from now. I can say that it was easy to setup and has functioned properly so far. I purchased this ATO really just for times when I'm away from home and can't manually top off my tank. I prefer to manaually fill the tank each morning after I test the salinity. I'm going to have to either fill the ATO reservior or the tank, may as well just fill the tank. I bought this unit because it was the most expensive and had the best reviews. Time will tell if it was worth the investment.

Arthur Weyrauch
Written by The Wolf Point Herald
Arthur Bruno Weyrauch, age 59, of Wolf Point, Mont., went to be with the Lord on Oct. 21, 2012, in McKenzie County, N.D.
He was born on Aug. 22, 1953, to Wallace "Sonny" and Verneice (Hanson) Weyrauch in Williston, N.D. He grew up on a dairy farm southeast of Ray, N.D. This is where his love of horses began. He attended grade school there and graduated from Ray High School in 1971. He spent many summers growing up working on the family harvest crew starting out running Massey Super 92s.
After graduation, he attended Billings Technical Institute where he studied mechanics. Art worked as a farm hand and an oil rigger for many years. He also spent many years in the trucking industry hauling cattle, produce, lumber or oil rig equipment. He traveled many miles throughout the entire United States to the point his family would call him a "walking atlas."
Art had a brief union with Teresa Tong, from which their son, Wayne, was born.
In 1981, Art met Connie Eggebrecht and they were married on June 26, 1981. They began their life together living in Wolf Point. Shortly after marrying Art, Connie and Wayne were blessed with three additions to their family, Jacob, Cassandra and Jarod. Art loved spending time with his kids and especially his grandkids. They held a very special place in his heart.
He loved NASCAR, rodeos, spending time with his horses and camping. He was a very avid fan of all high school sports. He often followed the Wolf Point Wolves all across Montana. He was honored with a start quilt by the Wolves' boys' basketball team.
He also enjoyed hunting in the mountains and always returned home with great stories. Art was also a member of the Elks Lodge. He was very caring and willing to help others in any way he could. He had a big heart and his memories will be treasured by many.
Art was currently working as a field representative for Power Fuels.
Art is survived by his wife, Connie Weyrauch of Wolf Point, Mont.; son, Wayne (Donna) Weyrauch and children, Jearney and Gage, all of Williston, N.D.; daughter, Cassandra Weyrauch and children, Treyton and Kolby, all of Dickinson, N.D.; son, Jarod (Misty Ericka) Weyrauch and children, Colton and Wyatt, all of Wolf Point; grandson, Caden Weyrauch and his mother, Dani, both of Minot, N.D.; sister, Rita O'Neil of Missoula, Mont.; brother, Herb Weyrauch of Williston; sister, Vicki McNarmara and her husband, Gary, of Saco, Mont.; brother, Jesse Weyrauch and his wife, Lori, of Stanley, N.D.; sister, Anne Robbennolt and her husband, Mark, of Gettysburg, S.D.; brother, Joe Weyrauch and wife, Lynn, of Saco; brother, Mike Wood and his wife, Judy, of Sidney, Mont.; and numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.
Art was preceded in death by his son, Jacob Weyrauch; parents, Wallace "Sonny" and Verniece Weyrauch; step-mother, Joyce Weyrauch; grandparents, Bruno and Dolly Weyrauch; step-grandmother, Tommy Weyrauch; and grandparents, Tom and Mabel Hanson.
A vigil was held at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 25, at the Clayton Stevenson Memorial Chapel of Wolf Point. Mass of Christian Burial was held at 2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 26, at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Wolf Point. Interment was at the Greenwood Cemetery in Wolf Point. Clayton Stevenson Memorial Chapel of Wolf Point was entrusted with the arrangements.

IMF Releases Paper on Ending Predatory Behavior
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) officially released a major paper focused on increasing stability in the financial system and preventing predatory hold-out behavior in debt restructuring.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) officially released a major paper focused on increasing stability in the financial system and preventing predatory hold-out behavior in debt restructuring. Last Monday's ruling by the Supreme Court in NML Capital vs. Argentina has legitimized predatory behavior that the IMF, US Government and legitimate investors seek to stop. The IMF paper was the second paper that reviewed potential aspects of an international bankruptcy process for the IMF Executive Board.
"It's clear that the IMF is looking for innovative ways to thwart the predatory behavior that was just legitimized by the Supreme Court," stated Eric LeCompte, Executive Director of the religious financial reform coalition known as Jubilee USA Network. "You can see in the paper that long before the Supreme Court ruling, the activity of these hedge funds has been on the IMF's radar."
The IMF paper notes the problems with current approaches to deter predatory behavior and promises a stand-alone paper in the near future on restricting the practice. Primarily, the paper focuses on creating more predictability in the financial system and preventing the "contagion" that spurs regional and global financial crises. IMF staff are attempting to build consensus on a set of financial issues in a series of papers and board discussions. A third paper on creating greater predictability in the global financial system is expected from the IMF by year's end.
"Greater predictability in the markets protects the vulnerable and ensures that the financial system serves all of us," noted LeCompte. "It's unclear how far the IMF can go. It's imperative that global decision makers take seriously the threat of another financial crisis. It's not a matter of if a financial crisis will strike again, it's a matter of how soon it will strike."

Jubilee USA Network is an alliance of more than 75 US organizations, 400 faith communities and 50 Jubilee global partners. Jubilee's mission is to build an economy that serves, protects and promotes participation of the most vulnerable. Jubilee USA has won critical global financial reforms and more than $130 billion in debt relief to benefit the world's poorest people. http://www.jubileeusa.org

I was so excited when Sara from KittyBabyLove offered to do a guest post here on Hurried Homemaker! If you haven't already fallen in love with her adorable kitty egg crayons, you will now. Anyway, as I was saying …
Sara was kind enough to do a step-by-step picture and word origami tutorial. School is about to be out and I know that my oldest and I will be spending some time together doing this fun activity. Enjoy!
Need some fun? Try out this tutorial for an origami waterball garland. Not
only is it simple enough to do with the little ones, but a fun way to pass
some time. All you need is some paper cut into squares, some string
(embroidery floss used in the image), and a needle. Get creative with your
color choices, types of paper you use, and additions you decide to make to
the garland.
1. Start with a square paper. In the example shown I used a 3″x3″ square,
which yielded a ball slightly under 1″. Larger squares will be easier for
little hands to work with.
2. Fold in half, corner to corner.
3. Fold in half again, matching the corners of the triangle together.
5. Fold in half, this time straight edge to straight edge.
6. Fold in half again- straight edge to straight edge
7. Unfold. You will use these prefolded lines as a guide for the next step.
Arrange the paper so that a flat edge is facing you. Notice where my thumbs
are in the picture. You will be bringing in these edges toward the bottom
center fold.
8. Notice the triangle it makes on the bottom.
9. Place your finger in the center and notice how the prefolds create a
triangle on the top side. Flatten this shape.
11. On one side of the triangle, fold the bottom corner up to the top corner
12. Repeat on the other leg of the triangle. Flip over to the backside.
13. Repeat steps 11 & 12 on this side. This will give you a diamond
14. Make sure the top of your diamond looks like this. Keep this side up
when working on the next step
15. Fold a side corner on one side of your diamond in toward the center
17. Flip your diamond over and repeat steps 15 & 16 on the other side
18. Fold the top part of one "leg" downwards as shown
20. Tuck the leg you just folded downward into the pocket you made in steps
15 & 16
23. Fold the bottom of the entire origami piece back and forth a little. You
don't want to actually make any creases; the idea is to loosen the paper so
that it will blow into a ball more easily…
24. Do this also on the top part of the entire origami piece
25. Now time to inflate the ball! Grab opposite sides of the ball and try to
gently stretch it open as much as you can…
26. Find this side of the ball. See that hole? Blow into it to get the ball
to inflate the rest of the way..
27. Viola! One puffed up origami waterball. Make as many as you want.
28. When you are ready, grab your needle and thread and get ready to thread
your garland together. A sharp point needle is recommended to pierce through
paper. Thread going in from this side (where you blew into the ball); poking
through the other side first may make your ball crinkle and deflate.
29. You can use the intersection of the fold lines as a guide for center
when poking your needle through the other side.
30. Thread as many together as you like. I used embroidery floss so the
balls dont slide around as much. You can get creative and add other things,
like beads or knots, into your garland strand. The knots, beads, etc will
act as spacers to hold the balls in their place on the garland.
31. And before you know it, viola! You are done!! You are done!

Late last month Airbus froze the design of its A320 New Engine Option (A320neo), the newly re-engined version of its established single-aisle family that will serve as an interim step toward an all-new narrowbody design that may not enter service until 2030 or later. The European manufacturer has just released its "master development schedule," which foresees first flight by the end of 2014.
Airbus believes that the full suite of game-changing engineering advances needed to justify an all-new design remains more than 10 years away. Short-term prospective improvements, such as innovative composites and metallic materials, new engines and aerodynamic concepts, alternative fuels and advanced air-traffic management advances will all become available in the remainder of this decade, and Airbus is specifically supporting development in these areas. The world will probably have to wait until after 2025 for greater leaps, the company believes–including nanotechnology structures, open-rotor engines, laminar-flow and "smart" wings, fuel-cell technology and new cockpits.
Launched in late 2010, the Neo is to be available with new, more-efficient Pratt & Whitney PW1100G geared-turbofan (GTF) or CFM International Leap-1A engines and sharklet wingtips. After months of vacillation, during which it argued that such evolution was unnecessary, U.S. competitor Boeing followed Airbus into the re-engining game in mid-2011 when established customer American Airlines chose the A320neo. Previously, Boeing had developed the "next-generation" 737NG only after United Airlines had ordered the A320, according to chief commercial officer-customers John Leahy.
To support A320neo development, Airbus is employing a "minimum-change" strategy that involves reinforced wing structure, fuselage and passenger-cabin adaptations, a reinforced center wingbox, new pylons (or struts) and modified engine systems. The wing reinforcement is restricted to the outer span and is "weight neutral," according to Airbus programs executive vice president Tom Williams.
A320neos will be approved on the current type certificate and flight crews will not need a new type rating. Airbus A320neo chief engineer Pierre-Henri Brousse said official closure of the concept stage means the design is frozen; the performance confirmed; and all aerostructures, engines, nacelle and system suppliers are "engaged." With budget and market assumptions also in place, Brousse said Airbus would go to detailed design and begin to cut metal "in the near term," perhaps as early as this month. An early stage in manufacture has been forging of a forward lateral spar for the first A320neo pylon.
Williams said the A320neo is unusual because the "very convincing" business case for the program means that the Airbus shareholders have been pressing the manufacturer's management to proceed, rather than having to be persuaded to authorize the project. Design of the aircraft is scheduled to be complete in about 12 months, with final assembly set to begin in mid-2014.
A first flight around the end of that year is planned and would be followed by entry into service before the beginning of 2016. Brousse acknowledged that the schedule is tight, but progress with engine and nacelle developments is "very good" and he described airframe design and powerplant integration progress as "steady." He said "very robust progress tracking" confirmed that Airbus will "deliver each and every aircraft on time and on target."

But two major medical advances and surprising insights into the nature of artery disease have prompted doctors to ask whether there's a better way — before a person's plumbing needs repair.
"Is earlier prevention with potent drugs the way to go?" asks Christopher Cannon of Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital.
Cannon cautions that a healthy diet and exercise are still the best protection against heart disease, which kills nearly 1.5 million people a year. But many people fail to heed the warning. Some, because of an unlucky roll of the genetic dice, will be more susceptible no matter what they do.
Either way, doctors say, there's new cause for optimism:
• On Nov. 5, researchers said that they have successfully tested an experimental treatment that they liken to "liquid Drano" for clogged arteries.
• On Nov. 12, the same team reported that a hefty dose of the cholesterol-lowering drug Lipitor not only slows gunk buildup but also stops it. A lower dose of Pravachol, another leading drug, allowed it to progress.
Both reports were hailed as the harbinger of a new era in the treatment of heart disease, though the Mayo Clinic's Raymond Gibbons says researchers have much to learn before they suggest changing current treatment guidelines.
Still, even at this stage, cardiologist Steven Nissen of the Cleveland Clinic, lead author of the two studies, regards the results as "very good news for patients."
More complicated than it looks
Nissen is a slight, balding, bearded man, whose head-to-head trial of the cholesterol-lowering statins Lipitor and Pravachol made global headlines at the American Heart Association's scientific meeting in Orlando this month. Nissen is best known for pioneering intravascular ultrasound, a method of exploring arteries from within and measuring the amount of sludge clogging them up.
What excites Nissen most are new insights into the nature of coronary artery disease.
The traditional view is that coronary artery disease is a chronic plumbing problem, made worse by diet and a sedentary lifestyle. New evidence suggests it may be a much more dynamic process than that.
Clogged arteries aren't like clogged PVC. They're made of five layers of living tissue. The outer layers even have blood vessels and nerves.
Most intense research focuses on the inner layer. That's where gummy LDL, or bad cholesterol, collects in a process called atherosclerosis. Heavy concentrations bulge into plaques. Some are stable; some, called "hot plaques," are liable to rupture at any moment.
Plaque isn't the only problem. Sick arteries also become inflamed, a sign that potent immune system chemicals are trying to heal the damage. Paradoxically, they can make it worse.
White blood cells called macrophages — floating garbage disposals — gobble up excess LDL. But in the process, they can chew up the arterial wall. Even before plaque chokes off blood flow, doctors say, arteries may be fatally damaged.
"We've learned that the vessel gets a lot of atherosclerosis and accumulation (of fatty material) in the vessel wall before you get narrowing," says Bryan Brewer of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. "Vulnerable plaque is sitting on cholesterol-filled macrophages that are eating away at the artery wall. When it ruptures, you get a heart attack.
"That's why, two weeks after a doctor says, 'Don't worry, you've just got a 25% narrowing,' you can drop dead," Brewer says.
Researchers have bolstered this view with studies showing that people with excess C-reactive protein, a measure of inflammation, are much more likely to have heart attacks.
In October, another Cleveland Clinic team reported that high levels of the protein MPO, from white blood cells, can signal an imminent heart attack.
Inflamed plaques are the ones most likely to rupture. Blood clots form to heal them, but they also present a threat. Clots that break away and drift to the heart can kill in minutes.
Synthetic HDL to the rescue?
LDL has a kindlier complement called HDL, a molecular dump truck that hauls excess LDL away. Existing medicines raise HDL, but only modestly. But a new, synthetic HDL may propel coronary artery disease treatment into a new era.
The synthetic HDL is a copy of a mutant protein found in 40 residents of Limone sul Garda, a village in the Italian Alps. The mutation makes HDL work more efficiently, scaling up plaque removal.
Nissen studied the synthetic version, made by Esperion Therapeutics Inc., in about 36 heart patients. Eleven patients were given a placebo. What he found prompted him to label the experimental treatment "liquid Drano for arteries."
One infusion of the synthetic HDL a week for five weeks cleared about 4% of the accumulated gunk from patients' arteries and shrank some plaques by more than 30%.
"I almost fell out of my chair when I saw what was happening," Nissen says. "The idea that we could remove plaque from arteries in just five weeks seemed so radical, it appeared beyond our reach."
And, he says, it might just be the beginning.

Management Information System (MIS)
Since 2008, San Diego County Behavioral Health Services staff and contracted providers have been implementing new information technology to better coordinate client care, perform required State reporting, bill Medi-Cal, Medicare and other payors, and perform a range of managed care functions. In addition, the new system includes an Electronic Health Record to help ensure a continuum of care for behavioral health treatment of vulnerable children, youth, adults, and seniors.
Anasazi, the contractor selected for this project, is a national leader in behavioral health management information systems based in Phoenix, Arizona.
San Diego County's management information system was implemented in two phases. Phase I involved tracking of client services, billing and managed care functions. Providers began using Phase 1 in 2008. Phase II, for scheduling, assessments, progress notes, treatment plans, and a home page for doctors and clinicians rolled out in 2012.

Apropos our last entry, there was one interesting exchange that touched on a question we've not addressed directly on S&F but perhaps should have: the question of the legitimacy of our making critical comment on an opera production we've not seen either in the house, via DVD, or via the tu..., er, the LCD screen (yes, we were finally forced to dump our ten-year-old, 21" tube TV and replace it with a 32" LCD flat-screen HDTV as the former up and died on us and it would have been just plain stupid to replace it in kind today assuming such are still being manufactured for sale in the U.S.). A forum member had expressed regret that he'd missed seeing the Met's new Robert Lepage production of Das Rheingold and queried about the forthcoming Die Walküre to which query and expression of regret we responded intending to be helpful:
Musically, you didn't miss much with the Met's new Rheingold, and the Lepage staging got pretty much of a drubbing from the more knowledgeable and discriminating MSM critics (Alex Ross, Martin Bernheimer, and Anne Midgette). As for Die Walküre, I'm afraid it's a crap shoot as is the rest of the cycle vis-à-vis the staging unless Lepage gets his act together, and musically, well, I guess that's a crap shoot as well. Damn shame.Which brought this from another forum member:
Would I be correct in assuming that you have not seen any of the performances you so neatly trash?To which we replied:
If by "so neatly trash" you're referring to my comments on the stagings of specific Eurotrash productions, and if by "seen" you mean in the opera house, then, no, I've seen none and have no intention of ever seeing any of them in the opera house unless I'm paid serious money — up front and in cash — to do so. I have, of course, seen DVDs of some of them, but by no means all. Rightly or wrongly, I get the impression from your question that you think my not seeing the stagings in the flesh, so to speak, disqualifies me from commenting on them. Is that in fact your thinking?To which the forum member responded:
So basically you pronounce on something that you not only have not seen; Rheingold, but that no one has seen because it has not taken place, Walkure. I know you like to be taken seriously in your opinions, so this kind of approach helps us to understand your aspiration to being a reliable critic.To which we replied:
Ah! I see now. You really do think that someone is disqualified from pronouncing on anything about an opera production unless one has seen it either in the house or on DVD. Interesting.Well, should one be disqualified from pronouncing on anything about an opera production unless one has seen it either in the house or via DVD or video? Our answer is that it depends on what one is pronouncing upon. If one is making critical comment on a live performance musically, based only on hearing that performance via a good, well-miked audio feed or recording, then that seems to us a perfectly valid, if not optimum, source on which to base an informed critical assessment. How about the staging, then? Should one be disqualified from pronouncing on the staging unless one has seen it either in the house or via DVD or video? Again, our answer is it depends on what one is pronouncing upon. Obviously, one cannot pronounce any critical judgment upon the staging without having seen that staging in the house or via DVD or video — unless, that is, that staging is clear Eurotrash. Say what? And just how is that to be determined sight unseen or without seeing the staging in toto? Once again, it depends. Sometimes it can be and sometimes not. From a mere accurate physical description of an opera's staging, with or without benefit of production photos, it's sometimes possible to determine right off and with no possibility of being in error that a staging is clear Eurotrash. Such is the case, for instance, with the (in)famous 1976 Patrice Chéreau staging of Das Rheingold for the Bayreuther Festspiele (the first installment of the so-called "Centennial Ring), or the 2006 Francesca Zambello staging of the same work for the Washington National Opera (the first installment of the so-called "American Ring"). In such cases there's no point in actually witnessing the full production either in the theater or via DVD or video before making an assessment in the name of giving the staging a fair viewing. One, after all, does not have to eat a rotten egg to know it's rotten. Its mere stench at some remove is all that's required to make a definitive decision on the point. On the other hand and at the opposite extreme and also just for instance, it's quite impossible to determine from a mere physical description, even with scads of production photos, whether the 2009 Achim Freyer staging of Das Rheingold for the Los Angeles Opera is clear Eurotrash or a brilliantly reimagined staging of Wagner's own Konzept or neither of the above so richly and complexly layered is it visually. In such a case one can make no informed critical assessment of the staging except what we've above said without seeing that staging in toto at firsthand in the theater as not even a DVD or video of that staging will suffice as a source upon which to base an informed critical assessment. In fact, in this particular case, one would have to see the staging of the entire tetralogy in toto at firsthand in the theater before an informed critical assessment could be made of the staging of any one of the four music-dramas. All the above is, in brief, our official position on this question the principles of which position we've never once violated here or anywhere else for that matter. You may disagree with that position and its principles which is certainly your prerogative, but any such disagreement is your concern entirely and none of ours. So endeth the proclamation.

A 60-year-old medical mystery has been solved, and experts say it will make blood transfusions safer for hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.
For half a century, scientists have been trying to understand why some patients reject transfused blood, leading to fatalities. But recently researchers found a rare type of blood called Vel-negative. If those carriers receive a Vel-positive blood transfusion, it could easily result in kidney failure and death. Now patients can be screened for this rare blood type and find lifesaving blood for even the rarest of types.
Dr. Bryan Ballif, a UVM professor, has been front and center on this discovery.
"This could be a lifesaving event for that particular individual because you would be able to have access to blood that you need, and you wouldn't reject the vast majority of the blood that is available-- but you really need the rare blood," Ballif said.
The newly discovered blood type is rare, but he says that 1 in 2,500 people of European descent are Vel-negative.

Fun! Fun! Fun at the Fair yesterday. It was officially Sprecher Day. So what happened? Twenty-five people grilled their best recipe; amid stiff competition, the top three really deserved their awards. And the grand prize winner – a filet with duxelle sauce – well, it is a winner. Stay tuned, we'll have the recipes on the website very soon.
Kids loved the games, the partner business coupons on our wall of coupons disappeared quickly (don't worry; they'll reappear on our website), many people had their photo taken with Rooty or the Sprecher Race Car, and the weather was great so the mood was right for perhaps the most popular event on the Central Mall — the Sheboygan brat eating contest. Crowds cheered as 15 people tried to outdo each other. Our winner ate a total of 8 brats, or 2lbs worth! Only in Wisconsin? I wonder. This guy could go on to become a national champion.

Can you elaborate a bit? What do you mean by "nothing changed"? Your template was not updated, or the new category didn't take effect?
Well, I uploaded new files with some fixes for IE6 (margin fixes), and I've asked reviewer to change category for Site Templates->Admin Themes in the bottom field (comments for reviewer), after two days (or one, not sure right now) I received email that my theme has been updated, but category Misc->Other remained.
Hey master, please refer to this thread for more info. Link
Oh my… you know what, forget about it – I will get some coffee in order to understand this thread in the link, and next time I will be more careful with choosing category .
Same problem! I asked for a review only to change the category. I received email that my theme has been updated, but the category is still the same. That's the unlucky teme: Link removed
Change needed: from no-profit category to blog/personal
I get why Mastergreed wants to change his category but this isn't a deal breaker. postream your template has been showing up on the home for a while so I don't see the category making the difference. Why do you keep advertising in the forums?

If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.

When youre wounded and left on Afghanistans plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier.

i have a problem. i'm obsessed. now i don't actually gamble but i'm obsessed with watching it. i love it. been watching espn, gsn, and the travel channel for my fix. doesn't matter if it's professional or celebrity. if it's on, i'm sucked in.
kinda scary, i'm actually learning the odds and the science of betting. i so dont' think i could be good at it in real life. i would have a heck of a time bluffing. that and i tend to believe everyone. so i could never pick out the bluffer! :)
nick thinks i should play online and make some money. little does he know, i would probably lose it all! tomorrow we are heading to the boats to celebrate my lil bro's 21st again. i need to stay away from the tables. at least with money in hand, i would love to sit and watch in person. observe everyone's tells, habits.
maybe poker is so interesting to me because i'm such a people watcher. not that i would actually log it in my brain how they reacted to a certain situation...i just love watching the reaction period. i really don't like psychology so where the heck does this come from?
