Zloty Jumps as Polish Central Bank Buys on Market to Curb Swings
The zloty advanced the most in 10 months as Poland's central bank sold foreign currencies on the market to curb volatility, which set a six-month high.
The central bank's first market purchases since 2011 helped the zloty advance 1.7 percent to 4.2419 per euro at 7:57 p.m. in Warsaw, the biggest appreciation since Aug. 3, after slumping to a one-year low yesterday. It was the biggest gain among more than 170 currencies tracked by Bloomberg. The zloty's three-month historic volatility jumped to 6.68 today, the highest since Dec. 4.
"This absolutely isn't an attempt to fight the trend or anything like that," PAP newswire cited central bank Governor Marek Belka as saying. "There was just a little craziness over the past few days and we gave it a kick," Belka was quoted as saying.
The Polish currency has weakened and zloty government bonds sold off, along with other emerging-market assets, after U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said on May 22 that policy makers could reduce stimulus if there were sustained improvement in the U.S. economy. The Warsaw-based Narodowy Bank Polski "sold a certain amount of foreign currency for zloty this afternoon," according to an e-mailed statement from the bank's press office.
'Wrists Slapped'
The Polish central bank isn't confronting the "overall emerging-markets trend," Rafal Benecki, ING Bank Slaski SA's chief economist for Poland, wrote in a note to clients today.
Belka said the central bank doesn't act "in the interest of currency-market speculators," according to PAP. "Somebody thought they could make money betting on a weaker zloty and got their wrists slapped," he was quoted as saying.
The zloty's historic volatility is the fourth-lowest among the 24 emerging-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg. The South African rand's 13.4 reading shows the greatest propensity for movement, while the Bulgarian lev is most stable at 2. The zloty has weakened 3.8 percent against the euro this year, compared with declines of 1.4 percent by the Hungarian forint and 1.9 percent by the Czech koruna.
Disorderly, Disruptive
"This is more a case of the NBP letting the market know it is there, and it would not be appreciative of a disorderly and likely disruptive sell-off," Tim Ash, London-based chief emerging-markets economist at Standard Bank Plc, said in a research note.
Poland's central bank entered the currency market as a report showed U.S. employment increased more than economists forecast, triggering a decline in American government bonds.
The yield on Poland's two-year government notes fell three basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, to 2.87 percent, its first decline in four days. The rate on the securities set a record low of 2.50 percent on May 14, down from 3.15 percent on Dec. 31. The spread over similar-maturity German debt narrowed seven basis points to 269, falling from a six-week high.
The extra yield on Poland's dollar bonds over U.S. Treasuries fell nine basis points to 133, according to data from JPMorgan Chase & Co.
No Contradiction
Belka said there was no contradiction between the Polish central bank's monetary easing and intervening to support the zloty, according to PAP. Belka's 10-member Monetary Policy Council has reduced the refinancing rate by 200 basis points since November to a record 2.75 percent at this week's meeting.
Poland's central bank last sold currencies on the market in 2011, according to its previous statements. When asked about a weaker zloty at the monthly central bank's news conference in Warsaw two days ago, Belka said "it's not a factor we're especially concerned about."
"Taking into account the recent words of Marek Belka and the condition of the economy -- stagnating growth, minimal inflation -- these interventions seem hardly understandable," BZ WBK SA economists, led by Maciej Reluga, wrote today in a note to clients.

Early 93 transmission questions
I apparently have an early 93 Allante and I am having some transmission issues, at first its the TC chuggle, I know, I know tap the brakes and it kicks off, but now its starting to flutter a bit. I notice around 45mph the tach flutters roughly in intervals of about 200-250 RPMS, like the motor is surging its just noticeable but its getting annoying. It also seems like its hunting more and makes strange shifts.
I was looking at doing a fluid and filter change but I cant seem to find parts for the early 93. It is an at60e correct? Can I order from another model with the same type tranny? The usual suspects (O'Reillys/Napa) only list the at80. Am I missing something ?
Also is this cause possibly not the transmission but something in the ignition system?
Either way I want to change the fluid, filter and pan gasket but I want to make sure I am getting the right stuff. I will check my shop manual when i get home i was just hoping I could pick stuff up after work if anybody knew.
As always thank you!

Re: Propensity Scores
Hi Sylvia
As long-time Mathematican and a long-time Bayesian, a few thoughts.
Mathematica is (at least) a massive CAS (Computer Algebra System), with
lots of mathematical knowledge built-in, and is also a marvellous
programming system for *very* high level coding, algorithm development,
Having looked at the paper you are reading, I note in the synopsis the
author says, in part:
"The estimates of mean effect obtained with *five* (my emphasis)
different techniques were compared and nonparametric bootstrap was
recommended as superior tool for propensity score analyses."
You say:
It's enormously frustrating (given the degree of depth in Mathematica
documentation) to realize the absence in Mathematica of a commonly used
statistical function in SAS and STATA, pointing to the real difference
in need between mathematicians and statisticians to impute missing data
from large datasets using bootstrapping."
I think you*ve put your finger on it. There *are* myriad "real
difference in need between mathematicians and statisticians", and that
is reflected in the difference between SAS and Mathematica. Mathematica
is not in the first instance a statistics package, but you can do
advanced mathematical (i.e., symbolical) statistics in it that you
can*t do in a non-CAS system like SAS. To some extent (Mathematica
has fantastic numerical functionality) it*s horses for courses.
I don*t think you should expect that Mathematica should come with
scores or even hundreds of different and very specific statistical model
fitting procedures built-in.
If I want to use the procedures built in to SAS, Stata, etc., on data
to hand, I use them as is. If I want to try a variation on a theme, or
produce a particular graphic, I turn to Mathematica and code it myself.
(Mathematica has full matrix algebra capability for multivariate
Logistic Regression is essentially built-in to Mathematica .
You also say:
"For whatever reason, I assumed otherwise since Mathematica so
exquisitely lends itself to predicting the pathways of cellular
Hmm. There is a, er, well known connection between cellular automata
and Mathematica that possibly explains that observation.
But you can*t expect that Mathematica has ready-made versions of most
of the algorithms in most scientific fields. The tools are there,
And some Google code searching sometimes turns up something useful.
Jerry-rigged? Jerry-rigged? Never. Carefully coded, you mean.

after a spot of Googling.

When you own a business, you know that advertising is a vital part of your marketing plan. The need to grab the attention of new customers as well as keep the attention of your existing customers is key in keeping your business going. While we all think of social media advertisements, radio and television ads as well as billboards and newspaper ads, one very effective yet underutilized method you may not have considered.
One popular trend for advertising that has come about recently is decals. This is a great option for advertising in that they can be customized and used in so many ways. If you want simple lettering for windows or company cars, you can choose from a variety of colors of vinyl die cut letters. On the other hand if you want to include a graphic or use a variety of colors, full color prints on white vinyl may be the better option. This lets you use whatever graphics you may already have for your company and not have to worry about color matching or anything like that. Decals can also be cut to just about any shape and size you want! That means that you can choose from millions of font options for lettering or can pick a fun, unique shape for your decals so that they stand out from the crowd.
Vinyl decals are also very versatile. You can use them as stickers to be handed out kind of like business cards. This proves to be very useful in that if someone gets a sticker, chances are they're going to stick it to something! For you this means that it will be on display for even more people to see rather than being placed in a wallet or drawer somewhere.
Decals can also be used for vehicle graphics. I'm sure you've seen your local landscaper or roofer drive by with their company logo and information on the side of their truck. These graphics are often made with vinyl decals due to the durability and weather resistance of the material. While the decals are made to last, they are also very easily removable and can be switched out if something changes such as your phone number or email address.
One other application that is great for vinyl decals is signs! From custom banners to yard signs, vinyl is a great way to put your company out there on signage. As mentioned before, vinyl can be cut to just about any shape or size meaning you can create a very unique image for your business. Vinyl also tends to be cheaper than porcelain or metal lettering yet can be applied to a variety of surfaces. Vinyl banners are a great and simple way to advertise your business in a variety of settings while something like a metal or corrugated plastic sign may be a more durable and permanent option.

Centenarian Health Secrets
John Ingram McMorranPlace of birth: Goodland Township, Michigan, U.S.
Born: June 19, 1889
Age: 113
Status: Deceased
Health secret: Coffee
Famous quote: "I drink a cup of coffee before every meal — and stay away from cheap whisky."
John McMorran was once the oldest living American and his story is one of hope for couch potatoes everywhere; the man smoked, drank beer and ate greasy food as if each day were his last. Even more peculiar was the seemingly outlandish forecast this centenarian received as a youth, when a palm reader told him that he'd live to be 111. As comical a prediction as any at the time, or so McMorran thought, it proved overly conservative as McMorran lived to an astronomical 113.
With 11 decades of normal blood pressure under his belt, McMorran defied medical sense with his lifestyle, and instead offered a unique formula for his longevity: "I drink a cup of coffee before every meal — and stay away from cheap whisky." Keeping all cracks about moonshine aside, McMorran's brown beverage of buzz, coffee, may in fact offer some true health benefits.
As research about coffee and caffeine swirls, several claims are supported by current research — but as is often the case, the evidence is somewhat conflicting. Heavy coffee drinkers seem half as likely to develop diabetes as non-Java guzzlers. Coffee may also have antioxidant properties, with drinkers showing lower risk of developing liver and colon cancer than non-drinkers. Coffee also seems to protect men against Parkinson's disease. And even athletes get a kick out of caffeine, as the drug is a known performance enhancer and mental stimulant.
Shigechiyo IzumiPlace of birth: Amami Islands, Japan
Born: June 29, 1865
Age: 120 (oldest recognized male)
Status: Deceased
Health secret: Shōchū (a Japanese alcoholic beverage)
Famous quote: "My type is an older woman than I."
As the oldest recognized male, Shigechiyo Izumi's claim is somewhat disputed. However, assuming his claimed birth date is correct, Shigechiyo has the second-longest documented lifespan in the world. He is also credited with having the longest working career, which spanned 98 years (and you thought your job was bad).
While taking up smoking at the age of 70, Shigechiyo also made shōchū, a Japanese alcoholic beverage distilled from barley or sweet potato, part of his daily diet. Despite pleas from his doctor to the contrary, Shigechiyo had said that: "Without shōchū, there would be no pleasure in life. I would rather die than give up drinking."
Shōchū contains urokinase, an antithrombolytic enzyme useful in preventing heart attacks and stroke. Studies in humans have indicated that shōchū intake produces high levels of blood urokinase — more so than both wine and sake.
Although other various claims cite shōchū as protective against diabetes and forms of dementia, the majority are without evidence. The beverage is also distilled, making shōchū very low in calories and other extracts, and is thus said to produce very little side effects (read, hangover). Bottoms up!
More centenarian health secrets, including the longest lifespan on record…

Air Duct Cleaning
Having your ducts cleaned can help eliminate many problems. Expect to see the following benefits:
- Less dusting required: When dust builds up in the ductwork, it can be blown out into the living space when the blower motor kicks on. This leads to dustier surfaces.
- Improve indoor air quality: One of the biggest reasons people seek air duct cleaning is to eliminate contaminants that cause asthma and allergies symptoms.
- Save energy and money: Air moves most freely over smooth, clean surfaces. The EPA states that a buildup of only .042 inches of dust in the ductwork can decrease heating and cooling efficiency by more than 20 percent. Clean ducts can therefore save energy and lower your utility bills to help the service pay for itself.
Common Contaminants Found in Indoor Air
The EPA has pointed out that indoor air is often many times more polluted than outdoor air. Many contaminants grow or get stuck in the ductwork. Then, when the furnace or air conditioner comes on, these contaminants are circulated into the air you breathe. The most common of these are:
- Bacteria
- Mold spores
- Fungus
- Pollen
- Pet dander
- Dust mites
Removing Debris, Animals or Other Air Duct Blockages
When you hire a contractor to clean your ductwork, expect the technician to do the following:
- Inspect the system before cleaning; including checking to make sure no asbestos is present. If this is the case, special equipment is needed to remove it.
- Lay protective covers over household furnishings and carpet during the cleaning process.
- Vacuum out the ductwork and either exhaust the air to the outside or use equipment fitted with a HEPA filter if the vacuum exhausts to the interior.
- Brush off duct surfaces with a soft-bristled brush to dislodge dust and debris.
- Remove animal nests and other evidence of pests.
- Seal and insulate the ductwork to prevent air infiltration. Re-insulate any access doors that were necessary to open for cleaning to take place.
Signs You Need Air Duct Cleaning
It's especially important that you seek air duct cleaning if any of the following exists:
- Mold growth: If you see mold or other microbial growth on the ductwork, that's certainly worth addressing. Keep in mind, those substances that appear to be mold should still be confirmed by laboratory analysis. You should also take steps to change conditions in and around the ductwork to prevent future mold growth, such as replacing wet insulation.
- Vermin: Rodents, insects and other pests may decide to call your ductwork home. If you hear scurrying feet or beating wings within the ductwork, an air duct cleaning could resolve the problem.
- Excessive dust: Excess dust and debris built up in the ductwork could cause your home to become dustier. Ask your contractor to use a camera to check inside the ductwork for this problem and show you the evidence before they begin to clean.
To learn more about air duct cleaning, or to schedule an appointment, please contact Rainbow International® today.

Each of the stories features Isabelle Huppert playing a different woman each named Anna who visits the Korean seaside town of Mohang. In each instance she flirts with a local lifeguard. In the first, she visits with a couple she knows because she once shared a kiss with the husband, in the second she meets with a Korean director with whom she is carrying on an affair, and in the third Anna is letting loose after being unexpectedly left by her husband.

Re: Exhaust On
I'm thinking about going dual exit like that too. How's the resonance in the truck?
BTW piecing together your own kit is ALWAYS the best route to take IMHO. Funk paying high dollar for a cat-back.
Re: Exhaust On

Re: Exhaust On

Support for gold open access publishing strategies at QUT
Borchert, Martin & Cleary, Colleen E. (2011) Support for gold open access publishing strategies at QUT. In ALIA 15th Conference and Exhibition : Information Online 2011, 1-3 February 2011, Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, Sydney, NSW.

INTRODUCTION: Since the introduction of its QUT ePrints institutional repository of published research outputs, together with the world's first mandate for author contributions to an institutional repository, Queensland University of Technology (QUT) has been a leader in support of green road open access. With QUT ePrints providing our mechanism for supporting the green road to open access, QUT has since then also continued to expand its secondary open access strategy supporting gold road open access, which is also designed to assist QUT researchers to maximise the accessibility and so impact of their research. ----------
METHODS: QUT Library has adopted the position of selectively supporting true gold road open access publishing by using the Library Resource Allocation budget to pay the author publication fees for QUT authors wishing to publish in the open access journals of a range of publishers including BioMed Central, Public Library of Science and Hindawi. QUT Library has been careful to support only true open access publishers and not those open access publishers with hybrid models which "double dip" by charging authors publication fees and libraries subscription fees for the same journal content. QUT Library has maintained a watch on the growing number of open access journals available from gold road open access publishers and their increased rate of success as measured by publication impact. ----------
RESULTS: This paper reports on the successes and challenges of QUT's efforts to support true gold road open access publishers and promote these publishing strategy options to researchers at QUT. The number and spread of QUT papers submitted and published in the journals of each publisher is provided. Citation counts for papers and authors are also presented and analysed, with the intention of identifying the benefits to accessibility and research impact for early career and established researchers.----------
CONCLUSIONS: QUT Library is eager to continue and further develop support for this publishing strategy, and makes a number of recommendations to other research institutions, on how they can best achieve success with this strategy.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work's files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.

Beautiful. Ready to be published!
May 14, 2013 2:39 am
Your words are so perfect, thoughtful, relevant, cutting right to it. You put into beautiful words exactly what I feel over and over again. For some reason, I'm sobbing by the end. Almost every night I wake up to one of my kids' "fierce grips" and my heart breaks for the loss they experience. Thank you.

Help The Nile-Crocodile Survive - Poem by Margaret Alice
Eating in a new restaurant where the chips were
sprinkled with spices; I should have sent it back,
but I didn't; now another sleepless night with my
back and neck in a terrible knot, stomach burning
and my head stuffed with cotton; with cold spells
and fevers; it is the very last time I eat what I'm
offered with strange condiments; in future I'll refuse,
not caring about offending; given the corporeal
punishment inflicted by food - I feel like dying
I am so tired; the Nile-Crocodile is reduced to
primitive reptilian survival; the Ice-Princess is
crying all life is vain; Cinderella is writhing in pain,
Alice has been changed into a prototype Quasimodo;
maybe the stuff that I eat shuts off part of my brain –
I can't even do any addition; at school I was branded
a fool; at varsity I was the local dunce; every test
taken under allergic conditions and I never knew
I thought life was supposed to be this painful
Seth says all physical pain has psychosomatic origins
in the indictment of my childish self by Calvinism's
original sin; the war at home that spoiled all ideas of
love; the total neglect of all emotional needs when we
were small – therefore my life is blighted; although I
know that ideas and experiences of doom and gloom
are the cause by creating a chemically unbalanced body;
no amount of reading and positive thinking has changed
the situation as yet –
Seth promised that accepting responsibility for all of
life's problems would lessen the effect of any
psychosomatic condition; yet my attempts to accept
it has not changed anything – maybe this condition
is meant as a gift: It brought the Nile-Crocodile into
existence, a deep need to read and study to escape
the confines of discomfort – the claustrophobia forces
me to seek escape through my imagination; thank
heaven I discovered New Age literature to
Help the Nile-Crocodile survive the onslaught
on mind, brain and body!

Report Says Pilots in Denver Plane Crash Tried to Abort TakeoffDec 24, 2008 | Parker Waichman LLP
The pilots of a plane that ran off a Denver runway on Saturday were aborting their takeoff right before the accident. According to The Wall Street Journal, the pilots aborted the takeoff as the Continental Airlines flight was traveling down the runway at a high rate of speed, but the plane became uncontrollable and careened off the runway into a ravine.
The Denver plane crash occurred at around 6:18 p.m. on Saturday evening, when Continental flight 1404 to Houston was attempting to take off from Denver International Airport. According to USA Today, a spokesperson for the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said the aircraft had traveled about one third of the length of the runway when it veered to the left and skidded into a ravine. The aircraft broke apart upon impact and burst into flames. The plane's left engine was ripped away along with all the landing gear, the Associated Press said. According to airport officials, the runway was free of snow and dry at the time of the crash.
Thirty-eight people, including the captain, were hurt in the accident. At least two were critically injured, and as of last yesterday, the captain and four other people remained hospitalized. According to CNN.com, most of the injuries were bone fractures and bruises.
According to the NTSB lead investigator, the plane's data recorder revealed that the thrust-reversers - which are deployed to stop an aircraft on a runway - on both of the plane's engines were activated. One of the pilots also can be heard on the recorder calling for an aborted takeoff, the investigator said.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the NTSB has interviewed the plane's co-pilot. He told the agency that the jet began drifting off the center of the strip as it reached about 103 m.p.h. The NTSB has estimated that the plane reached a speed close to 135 m.p.h. before it left the runway, the Journal said. Because of his medical condition, investigators have not yet interviewed the captain.
NTSB officials are still trying to determine what caused the unusual sounds, and whether any engine or brake malfunctions may have contributed to the accident, The Wall Street Journal said. So far, they have found no problems with the aircraft's engines, tires or brakes, but aren't ruling anything out.

Cold Roast Beef Pizza
Recipe by saintswife
This is a delicious appetizer or snack! We have it at our office potlucks often and it ALWAYS disappears... It looks like you put a lot into it but it is so simple to prepare..NO COOK recipe that tastes like a delicious roast beef sub, but even better..You gotta try it! Enjoy...
Top Review by Susie D
This was easy enough & I can see it being popular at an office party. The flavors are familiar & the finished product attractive. I used a thin prebaked pizza crust and think a thicker crust would be too much bread. I would have even preferred the crust be crisper. I used good deli roast beef, ice berg lettuce, and only 1 T of horseradish. Next time I would up the horseradish so that flavor isn't lost and use romaine for more color on the dish. Thank you for sharing your recipe! Made for Spring 2011 Pick A Chef. :-)
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup cream cheese with chives
- 1 -2 tablespoon horseradish
- 1 prebaked pizza crust (like Boboli)

- 1 cup shredded lettuce (I prefer Romaine)
- 1⁄3 cup Italian salad dressing
Directions See How It's Made
- In a bowl mix together cream cheese and horseradish.
- Spread mixture on pizza crust.
- In another bowl mix together remaining ingredients.
- Top pizza with roast beef mixture.
- Refrigerate up to 2 hours before serving.
- Cut in wedges and serve.

UL Makes Its Mark on Safety
On the job, you've probably seen the UL Mark on a control panel, motion detector, locking mechanism or some other form of electronic security and life-safety product. At home, you might see it on your toaster, hairdryer, lamp, or another electronic or electrical product used in your daily routine.
Regardless of whether you've seen it on the job or in your home, most people will encounter dozens of products on a daily basis that have earned the UL Mark. But do most of them understand what is behind the UL Mark and what it means in terms of safety? Do most of them understand the product certification process, and what it means when a product or system has earned a UL Mark?
We will forge ahead to answer those questions as well as how they specifically apply to the electronic security industry. Better understanding what UL stands for, its focus and application provides systems integrators with the knowledge they need to make the best, informed decisions for their businesses and customers.
What UL and the UL Mark Mean for Billions of Products Worldwide
The UL Listing Mark on a product indicates that samples of the product have been tested against nationally recognized safety standards and found to be reasonably free from foreseeable risk of fire, electric shock and related hazards. Billions of products — yes, that's billions with a "b" — all over the world bear the UL Mark. In the electronic security and fire industries, an additional element of performance testing is required to earn the UL Mark.
While there are other reputable testing and certification companies located throughout the world offering their own certification marks, what makes the UL Mark so distinctive is what transpires before and after a product or company earns the Mark.
Receiving authorization to use the UL Mark is only the beginning. A product must maintain safety requirements in order to continue to use the UL Mark. UL field representatives worldwide are trained to periodically visit manufacturing facilities to audit manufacturer programs and to determine that the products coming off the production line continue to meet UL's safety requirements.
Unannounced factory inspections — at least four visits per year at a minimum per facility — help to determine that the product consistently meets safety requirements. These regular visits that take place during the lifetime of a product's UL certification help protect the integrity of the UL Mark and are what distinguishes the Mark in the marketplace.
Electrical Fires Ignited Birth of UL More Than 100 Years Ago
UL is an independent, not-for-profit product safety testing and certification organization. UL was founded in 1894 as a result of the insurance industry's concerns about electrical fires during the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. Since that time, fire safety and security have been at the core of UL's existence.
The UL family of companies has more than 62 facilities worldwide and nearly 6,000 employees, many of which are employed in the engineering discipline. Many people mistakenly think of UL as a government agency, trade association, professional society, publicly traded company or simply a for-profit company. In fact, UL is none of these.
UL's mission is public safety. Its goal is to help companies bring safer products to the global marketplace, while supporting the management and quality system processes of these same companies. The entire UL team is charged with supporting this mission and goal on a daily basis. For example, UL's Regulatory Services group interacts and supports thousands of jurisdictional authorities; working to provide them with information regarding UL-certified products as well as help them answer any code-related questions. UL's Certificate Services group also interacts with jurisdictional authorities as well as with UL fire and security customers to help all parties work toward the common goal of providing the appropriate information necessary to address regulatory needs.
UL's Conformity Assessment group tests and evaluates products for safety and authorizes the use of the UL Mark on compliant products. UL's Follow-Up Services group establishes continued safety compliance of products by performing unannounced manufacturer product facility inspections. UL's Sales and Customer Service groups work with manufacturing clients to facilitate the process of achieving UL certification. All of these groups serve diverse functions, but they all share in UL's overall public safety mission.

Nichollette Hoard Wins Michigan Auto Law Diversity Scholarship for 2012
May 30, 2012 - Cooley Law School student Nichollette Hoard has been named the winner of the Michigan Auto Law Diversity Scholarship for 2012. Hoard, a student at Cooley's Ann Arbor, Mich., campus was named the winner by the sponsoring firm, Michigan Auto Law.
She was chosen for her commitment to diversity and making a positive difference in people's lives. Scholarship organizers said that, in Hoard's internship with the Office of the Public Defender, she has demonstrated a strong work ethic, good character, and a willingness to assist other minority interns get acclimated to the requirements and procedures in the office. In addition, Hoard's work with the Black Student Union during her undergraduate years at the University of Michigan demonstrated her commitment to diversity and to the student body. A two-year commitment with an Intergroup Dialogue program enabled her to grow as a facilitator and help bring about change.
The scholarship provides Hoard with $2,000 to go toward her law school education.
Joan Vestrand, Associate Dean and Professor at Cooley's Ann Arbor campus, said they are thrilled that Hoard won the scholarship.

The waters of Gatun Lake were rushing to regain the freedom denied them by the building of the locks.
By a lock system lifting vessels up to Gatun Lake (a height of 85 feet), an immense amount of excavation was saved.
Gates six and seven are now closed, and the water allowed to fill the third lock until we are up to the level of Gatun Lake.
We were on the level of the wide island dotted expanse of the Gatun Lake.
Gatun Lake was made by a great dam across the Chagres river.
There are three pairs of these locks and they lift the vessel to Gatun Lake, which is eighty-five feet above sea level.
The water fills the lock through openings in the floor, and the water itself comes from Gatun Lake.
The regulation of the water level in Gatun Lake is no small task, for the Chagres is one of the world's moodiest streams.

Professional Therapists Your Future Courses
MCPT develops Therapists / practitioners to a professional standard, which enables them to work safely and effectively with patients from all walks of life. From top athletes through to people with disabilities.
Although massage has been around in one form or another since the beginning of time; as a recognised therapy within modern health-care it is relatively new. It combines ancient and modern therapy skills with a scientific understanding of how the body functions and dysfunctions, creating a very versatile method of treatment with wide-ranging benefits.
In this Course the prime aim is to teach the student the fundementals of relaxation massage.
The purpose of massage is to help alleviate stress and tension that can build up in the bodys soft tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments).
Relaxation is very important part of rehabalitation and therapy in general. The CMT - Certificate Relaxation Massage (Relaxation) is a pre-requisite to our Accredited Courses.
The CMT Course is a non accredited course that aims to create a massage practitioner with good career potential & foundation of skills that will lead to further study to advanced Courses that lead to professional work. The Certificate Relaxation Massage (Relaxation) training attempts to address issues at a level that will allow you to step into a Government Accredited Course.
CMT Certificate Relaxation Massage (Relaxation) teaches massage as the basis of a wholistic approach to treatment, incorporating soft tissue techniques and clinical experience. You can not use this award to work as a professional therapist or charge for massage appointments.
Although CMT is designed to take students up to the entry level required for a Government Accredited Courses, this Course is also open to anyone wanting to develop basic hands-on skills in general massage, for use on a recreational level with family and friends.
For those wishing to go on to do a higher level professional training course, this provides an opportunity to get an experience of massage therapy.
This CMT Course is mostly hands on, students receive a pre-course workbook, undertake theory and practical classes, 50 hours of student clinic placement, and will then obtain a Certificate Massage Therapy - Relaxation (CMT). CMT course is a stepping stone to other Accredited Courses.
Most MCPT graduates set up in private practice, working full or part-time. Some people use it as a supplement to their full time jobs & work casually in Therapeutic / Relaxation Massage.
Due to the diversity of conditions and situations covered in MCPT courses, students are able to work effectively within many areas of massage therapy. They may specialise in Relaxation Massage in Gymnasiums, Health Spas, Beauty Salons, Hotel Resorts, or assisting sports people or work with people from other sectors of the community.
MCPT appropriately qualified therapists work alongside Medical Practitioners, Osteopaths and Physiotherapists within their own networks as well as at sports injury clinics and rehabilitation centres.
It is vitally important that students practice between the weekends. To encourage this in our other courses, students receive a logbook in which to record practice treatments which also forms part of the course assessment.
All lectures and practical sessions are conducted by expert tutors from the MCPT and highly qualified teachers from all health, fitness and science fields.
MCPT massage tutors are all working practitioners with well established practices. They have a great depth of practical knowledge on all aspects of their work.
Rather than just being classroom academics who teach it how it should be they teach it how it is. Every student is considered unique, and the aim of the tutor is to encourage the individual to develop his or her own style and skill rather than copy set methods and routines. Classes therefore tend to be friendly and informal, although professional standards are always maintained.
This comprises of class and home study based (self-paced study) around written assignments, theory and practical class sessions, student clinical practice, unit quizs and video essays and mulitmedia learning tools.
The minimum of hours study is expected for the student to successfully complete the coursework, includes basic anatomy & physiology. Students who already have an adequate qualification in this subject may not required to complete this, however can apply for exeptions.

Several neglected dogs and cats have been rescued in London, Ont., after one of the dogs alerted authorities by honking the horn of a truck where they were being held for several days.
Police say the muzzled dog — along with two other dogs and two cats — had been left in "deplorable conditions without proper care" in the parked truck.
They say the discovery came a week after someone complained to the London Humane Society about three dogs exposed to unsanitary conditions in a home.
It's alleged the residents of the home left with the dogs to avoid Humane Society officers.
Donna Hebert and Allan Folkins-Wyre were charged Thursday with counts of cruelty to animals.

School of Nursing Faculty Mentoring Program
The focus of the Faculty Mentoring program is on teaching. This program is offered to all faculty in the School of Nursing who are new to the school or to teaching. New faculty are asked during orientation if they are interested in being paired with a mentor; however, any faculty member can request a mentor to support her/him in a new role.
The division chairs are responsible for the general mentoring of faculty, such as establishing career goals and directing faculty to appropriate assistance. The faculty mentor is responsible for specific mentoring in teaching, especially in a particular specialty area. The Faculty Mentoring Task Force meets regularly with the Division chairs and mentor/mentee pairs to ensure that the process is working effectively.
- Volunteer mentors and mentees complete the Mentor and Mentee Interests and Strengths Inventory to match mentor-mentee pairs with assistance from their division chair.
- The mentor and mentee create a regular agreed upon schedule to meet. A minimum of three meetings is recommended: the first meeting to establish goals, and at least two more throughout the first semester. The Mentoring Partnership Agreement is used to clarify the mentor's and mentee's expectations.
- A follow up procedure is built into the process at 3, 6, and 12 months. The Faculty Mentoring Task Force is responsible for monitoring the mentoring process, not the division chair. A "no fault opt-out" policy allows a change in the mentor/mentee match if needed. The Task Force uses the Faculty Mentoring Program Evaluation Form to assess the mentoring process.
- In order for the chairs to include mentoring in the evaluation of the mentor and the mentee, the mentor and mentee will submit a description of what they did. The Faculty Mentoring Task force will submit their observations if requested. Workload consideration for the mentor will be given the semester after the mentoring has occurred.

So, I got to go to doggy day care for a day. But guess what? When I got there, I was really shy. I was quiet and not really active like I am at home. I had to start out in the "couch potato" group, so that I was with other doggies who were calm or shy like me. Eventually I did play a little, though, and I made friends with another Ridgeback mix, and with a pretty Golden Retriever girl! She was cute! Mom said I get to go back again sometime, since I was a very good boy.
Max missed me, though. Mom said he was scratching at the doors and looking for me when I was gone. I think he was just jealous that he didn't get to go, but Mom said we must really be pretty good friends if he missed me that much. Guess I'm not as big a pain in the rear to him as I thought I was!
I'm so excited that I can hardly contain myself. Mom says I get to try Doggy Daycare tomorrow. See, I have more energy than my brother Max does, and Mom said it might be fun for me to play with some other doggies that have the same energy as me!! Wheeee! I can't wait to see what it's like. I hope they're nice to me and I make some new friends.
Oh, and I don't have to stay in a kennel when Mom & Dad are gone any more. I've been very good and haven't torn anything else up (except a little more of my bed, but that was toast anyway). I'm growing up into a very good boy.
Dear Diary,
I finally have a really cool home. I'm never going back to that Humane Society place - I like this arrangement much better. There's good food, like Peanut Butter, (WOW! Where's that stuff been all my life), and I get my own bed. I also get to lay on the couch, and on Mom & Dad's bed when they're not in it, and we go for walks, and play ball - and, oh yeah - I have a big brother to pester! Sometimes Mom tells me to stop picking on him 'cause he's not a puppy any more, but he's starting to limber up a little. Of course, all of the toys are mine, but I do let him use them once in a while (if Mom & Dad are watching and make me share).
I have to stay in a kennel for a while when my family is at work 'cause I chewed on these black tubes that come out of the ground. They were really fun to play tug with, but Dad said something about "irrigation system," along with some other words that he doesn't usually say. Oops! My bad! I tore up my bed some, too, and when I tried that on the couch cushion, Mom and Dad said I had to hang in my big kennel so that they'd still have a house when they came home. I'm a puppy - what do they expect? At least I go outside to potty!!!

Innovation helps Japan's tsunami-hit farmers bounce back
By Megan Rowling
SENDAI, Japan (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Even before a tsunami swamped fields east of the Japanese city of Sendai in March 2011, Chikako Sasaki and her husband, a rice farmer, had dreamed of starting a business selling food made from their own produce.
The tsunami was sparked by the biggest earthquake to hit Japan since records began, killing nearly 16,000 people and wiping out villages and towns in what was described as the country's worst crisis since World War Two.
But just two years after the disaster, thanks to government subsidies and the enterprising spirit of the Sasakis and other farming families, Chika-chan's Riceball Teahouse began serving lunches made by local women in its open kitchen.
"There was nowhere to work after the tsunami," explained Sasaki, standing in the first-floor dining room. "So we decided to open this cafe, and now we all enjoy working here together."
The restaurant is just one example of many innovative approaches taken to help eastern Sendai's farmers bounce back from the tsunami, modernize the region's agriculture and increase farming output.
The rice used in Chika-chan's "nigiri" balls and curry dishes, also sold in the shop downstairs, is grown by the women's husbands. The vegetables come from their own plots, and the "miso" - a fermented soya-bean paste - is made by hand.
The company in Wakabayashi ward also has a processing facility nearby, and is planning to expand its other activity of making boxed lunches for convenience stores and public events.
Sasaki said her husband managed to get his rice output back up to pre-disaster levels three years after the tsunami hit. Continued...

Luck is not the only QB coming out that can help us win. Coaching and playcalling was more of a problem last year than QB play. We can still compete without drafting a QB with proper coaching and support personnel. It is not the end of the world. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FS: 19X8.5 ACS Type 3 Chrome Rims & Tires..
5 Attachment(s)
These rims are like brand new. They have maybe 5,000 - 6,000 miles on them. The rims are in perfect condition. one of them has a small mark that is barley noticable at all. I took a close up pic of it so you can see. I've had them posted on this site before and the one pic look like the rim was bent. It's NOT bent. The reflection on the rim made it look that way. I posted that pic below along with other pics of the barley noticable mark. Other than that, all the rims are perfect. the tires are Toyo proxes FZ4 size 235/35 ZR 19. They also come with ACS spacers as well. I paid $4,000 for these babies. I was hoping to get $3,000, but if there is anybody local i'm willing to take $2,700 obo. I'm located in Edison New Jersey. I just got my eyes lazered with lasik that cost me $5500, (highly recommend), and now i'm moving to Cali, so i neeeeeeeeed money!!! here are the pics..

Volvo Debuts Concept Car Inspired By Sports Gear
The automaker collaborated on design details with a Swedish gravity sports protective equipment maker.
Volvo will officially unveil the Concept XC Coupe at the 2014 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. We got a first look at the car's design which Volvo developed to appeal to those with an active lifestyle. The XC Coupe is a sibling to Volvo's Concept Coupé revealed late last year at the Frankfurt Auto Show. The XC relies on the company's Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) system introduced with the Concept Coupé and shares a similar overall design language.
Volvo collaborated with Swedish brand POC Sports, makers of helmets and safety gear for skiers and cyclists. Known for their sleek and functional design approach, POC contribution to the project can best be seen in the XC Coupe's details. There's color accent skid plates integrated into the front and rear fascia. And a custom hard shell ski case and rack is seamlessly fitted to the roof.
While being smaller, XC Coupe follows in the tradition of Volvo's 'active' wagons like the recent XC70. It is a hard to categorize the model, as its not an SUV and not quite a crossover. Following Subaru's unique product line and recent sales boom, we might see more automakers look to develop more hybrid-terrain cars and wagons. The trend appears to be headed back to smaller and lower vehicle types, that still retain rugged terrain capabilities.
