WATERBURY, VT -- Green Mountain Coffee Roasters stripped founder Robert Stiller of his chairman title and ousted William Davis as lead director after they sold shares to meet a margin call on loans secured by their stock in the company, breaking the company's trading policies.
Stiller sold five million shares of Green Mountain's stock for $123.4 million on May 7 after stocks plunged 48%, prompting lenders to demand more collateral on their outstanding loans. The stock tumble on May 3 came after Green Mountain issued lower full-year profit projections after selling fewer brewers and K-cups than expected in its fiscal second quarter. | SEE STORY
Davis, who has served as director of Green Mountain since its founding in 1981, sold 548,000 shares on May 4 and May 7.
Investors can borrow from banks or brokerages using their stock portfolios as collateral, but the lenders require them to maintain a balance in their accounts that is a certain percentage of what they have borrowed. If stock prices fall sharply, investors must deposit more money into their margin accounts to maintain the required cushion.
The shares from Stiller's account and some of Davis's shares were sold at a time when insiders at Green Mountain are not permitted to trade shares, according to company policy. Green Mountain also said that Davis pledged an additional 204,000 new shares to his margin loan after the first of the year, after Green Mountain had amended its internal trading policy to prohibit new pledges.
"These forced sales are disappointing and beyond the control of the company. Once the board was notified of this trading activity, it moved quickly to investigate and address this matter," Green Mountain said.
The company said Stiller and Davis will remain on the board, but will be not be paid for their services until the board determines otherwise. Green Mountain said it has appointed Michael Mardy as interim chairman of the board. He was director and chair of the company's audit and finance committee.
At one point, Stiller owned nearly 45 million shares in the coffee company. Following the latest sale, he reportedly owns 8.39 million shares, or a 5.4% stake.
Stiller and Davis must settle all outstanding margin loans by the end of 2012, according to Green Mountain. The company said if all of their shares that are held in margin accounts or pledged as collateral were settled as of May 8, Stiller's stake would be down to 1.86 million shares, while Davis would own 36,598 shares.
Stiller founded Green Mountain in 1981 and served as its chief executive until May 2007 when he took on the role of chairman. He took the company public in 1993, the same year it invested in Keurig Inc. In 2006, the Vermont coffee roaster acquired Keurig. Today, the lion's share of the company's revenue comes from the sales of brewers and K-Cup portion packs.
Green Mountain's stock began to fall early this year in anticipation of increased competition this fall, when Starbucks Corp. plans to launch a single-cup espresso brewer and two of Green Mountain's patents on K-cup technology expire.

text: Even though the reviews were mixed, it did not stop Hobbit fans from turning out in droves this weekend. The film raked in over $84M in the US and added another $138M internationally. The previous best December opening was for Avatar which took in $77M, but I don't think this movie will beat Avatar. I just think that Avatar had more staying power than The Hobbit will. Unlike the three Rings films, Hobbit did not get any Golden Globe nominations. On a side note, Skyfall has almost hit $1B globally which means there will be another 20 years of Bond films and Daniel Craig can probably ask for an receive a fortune for the next installment.

Topic: Worried
Not sure where to post this. But as you all know I worry all the time. This can't be good for me! Thankfully today I got a call from our sweet Lisa, and she was able to get me out of my funk.
It's less than a month until my next scans, and while I can't control the outcome I worry. I have been having the same chemo for 9 months now! It will be round #20 next week. We all know chemo stops working at some time.
Plus coming up on a year is scary for me. It seems like so many people with any cancer starts going down hill around a year.
Then, it's also about time for carter to start back to school. I worry about him being in school, and having a mommy with cancer. I also worry about bad stuff happening to my kids all the time.
I know my faith is stronger than all my fears. So, I have got to hand all this over to God! Trust in Him, as my 3 year old would say! Got to love the child like faith.
Anyways, it feels good to get all this off my chest. Guess I just needed to vent. I hope all my friends have a blessed week!

Range Map
Steller's sea-eagles belong to the family Accipitridae, a very diverse group of diurnal raptors encompassing eagles, hawks, kites, buzzards, harriers and New World Vultures. Eight fish eagles, including the bald eagle, make up the genus Haliaeetus. Its scientific name Haliaeetus pelagicus aptly describes the Steller's as "fish eagle of the open seas." Other names include white-shouldered eagle, Pacific eagle and O-washi, its name in Japan.
Steller's sea-eagles have a narrow coastal range in northeast Asia. They breed only in far eastern Russia on the Kamchatka peninsula, coastal areas around the Sea of Okhotsk and north along the West Bering Sea. Some remain year round, but the majority over-winter farther south in Hokkaido, Japan's northern main island, and on islands or coastal areas around the Sea of Okhotsk. Some migrate farther afield to the Korean peninsula and China, and a few vagrants roam as far as the Aleutian and Pribilof Islands in Alaska.
Their primary habitats include narrow coastal strips, islands, and forested valleys near lakes and river estuaries. High rocky cliffs along sea coasts and tall trees provide suitable nest sites. Steller's sea-eagles fish from the sea and near mouths of rivers where salmon spawn. These eagles share their limited habitat with the smaller white-tailed sea-eagle and the golden eagle.
Steller's sea-eagles are huge birds. They, along with the Harpy and Philippine eagles, have the distinction of being the largest and heaviest eagles. The smaller males weigh 11-13 pounds (4.9-6 kg) and the females weigh 15-20 pounds (6.8-9 kg). The body length ranges from 34-41 inches (85-105 cm) and the wingspan runs 6-8 feet (1.8-2.45 m). In comparison, the bald eagle weighs 8-14 pounds (3.6-6.3 kg).
Steller's sea-eagles possess distinctive physical characteristics for easy identification of adult birds. White feathers comprise large shoulder patches, long leggings, wedge-shaped tail, and small forehead and crown patches on a large blackish-brown body. Its immense and strong beak is deep, arched and yellow. Eyes, cere and feet are also yellow. Their unfeathered feet have powerful, curved talons and rough pads for grasping slippery fish and other prey. Immature birds have dark brown and lighter mottled feathers, dark brown eyes and orange beaks. They gradually acquire adult plumage and coloration in 4 to 5 years. A dark morph without the distinctive white shoulder markings also occurs, but is very rare.
Unknown but may live more than 20 years in the wild.
In the Wild: Primarily fish, especially salmon, trout and cod; sea birds, such as murres, gulls, auklet and cormorant; mammals, such as red fox, muskrat and seal; carrion.
Some of their food choices vary seasonally. In the spring birds will often steal carrion from traps. On Kamchatka, breeding pairs eat mainly salmon, while in northern Okhotsk Sea region, pairs in coastal areas sometimes focus on nesting sea birds while pairs in river areas concentrate on fish.
At the zoo: Rodents, rabbits, trout and quail
Courtship occurs in March, but it is still winter on Kamchatka where average high temperature remains below freezing. Nests perch high on rocky cliffs or near tops of tall mature trees often in a dead area. Pairs add sticks to an existing nest which may reach 5 feet in height and 8 feet across. One to three white-green eggs are laid in April or May when highs reach slightly above freezing. Incubation length is uncertain, perhaps as long as 38 to 45 days. Usually only a single chick survives within a clutch, but often none survive and the adults abandon reproduction for that year.
Success is far from assured even if a chick survives. Growing from a tiny altricial hatchling to a new fledgling takes about 10 weeks. Dangers include disease, predation from sable and vermin, and falls from - or with - the nest. Nests of great weight commonly collapse. The adult pair must protect the nest, as well as provide increasing amounts of food for the growing eaglet. By 10 weeks the young learn to fly, and by late summer they leave the nest, many to migrate southward to over-wintering areas. Many young eagles do not survive their first year on their own, succumbing to both natural and human-related causes. Not much is known about juveniles during the 4 to 5 years it takes to reach sexual maturity.
Steller's sea-eagles use varied techniques to obtain fish. Excellent vision, perhaps 6-8 times sharper than humans, enable eagles to spot prey from a distance. They perch high in trees or on cliffs then dive down to snatch fish near the water's surface. Less frequently they hunt on the wing, or by standing and grabbing passing fish. Eagles gather in large numbers where salmon spawn and take live fish and scavenge on the carcasses. Many sea-eagles, especially juveniles, find food through kleptoparasitism – stealing food from other birds. They take fish from eagles (other Steller's, white-tailed, golden) and other birds especially osprey. Dumps of offal from commercial fishing may also be utilized as a food source.
Birds and mammals also form part of the Steller's diet. Predation on ducks, gulls and nesting sea bird colonies provides a critical part of eaglet diets in some areas. Eagles hunt small mammals, such as hare and fox, but they also raid commercial traps for sable, mink and ermine. They will eat carrion of washed up seal and sea-lion carcasses. In the mid-1990's when cod runs crashed on Hokkaido, over-wintering Steller's ate from Sika deer carcasses left behind by hunters. Even tiny amounts of ingested lead fragments killed many birds.
Relatively little is known about the species. Its formidable and isolated habitat makes research difficult. In their summer breeding grounds, high temperatures average 52-63 degrees Fahrenheit (11-17 C). Winters are extremely severe with frozen seas and lakes, and drifting sea ice. Over-wintering areas in Hokkaido and on Kamchatka have average January highs of only 19°-21° (-6 to -7° C) with lows of 1°-8° F (-17° to -13° C.
A Steller's sea-eagle resides in the award-winning Northern Trail. Look up in the trees to find its large stick nest. Visitors can often see wild bald eagles nesting in the elk yard from the Elk Overlook or near the gray wolf exhibit. Northern Trail also exhibits snowy and barred owls. The Raptor Center exhibits several raptor species, turkey vulture, ferruginous hawk, peregrine falcon, Harris' hawk, great-horned owl, spectacled owl and barn owl. Great gray owls reside in the Temperate Forest exhibit adjacent to Bug World.
Steller's sea-eagles are currently a CITES II species with an IUCN status of "Vulnerable" which is only one level below "Endangered." With no natural predators, human activities create its gravest threats. Trappers retaliate for losses of fur bearing animals. Poaching occurs. Habitat degradation results from industrial pollution, logging, hydroelectric projects, atmospheric pollution and over-fishing. Projected oil and gas drilling, pipelines and transport projects would further encroach on vital breeding and feeding habitat. Their range is already very limited and the eagles depend on clean waters and old forests.
The estimated population of 5,000 Steller's sea-eagles in the wild is small and declining. Since 2006 migration patterns of some nestlings have been tracked by satellite in-situ by the Zoological Society of San Diego, and Natural Research Ltd. biologists. Russian, Japanese and American conservation, educational and governmental institutions combine efforts within the International Working Group for the Steller's Eagle Conservation. These recent studies add to knowledge of the bird's breeding habits, population dynamics, and diet.
Conservation actions promote a future for Steller's sea-eagles. Russia and Japan give the species complete legal protection. The Steller's is a Natural Monument in Japan and the government banned the use of lead ammunition in Hokkaido. Very few zoos in America exhibit this species. San Diego Zoo has a pair and has loaned an additional four pairs to other zoos. Woodland Park Zoo acquired a potential breeding pair in 2010. With a proven history of exhibiting and breeding birds-of-prey, the zoo joins the conservation effort to save the magnificent Steller's sea-eagle.
We need raptors. Here are only a few of the benefits raptors provide:
Raptors help keep animal populations in balance.
Raptors consume many animals that humans consider as pests, including mice, rats and destructive species of insects. This helps to control disease and damage to crops.
As top predators of their food chain, raptors are an indicator species of the overall health of the ecosystem in which they live.
Of equal importance, witnessing wild raptors enriches each of our lives. Imagine what life would be like if we could no longer see a raptor soaring through the sky.
Woodland Park Zoo once rehabilitated injured and sick eagles. The zoo cared for more than 200 bald and golden eagles, peregrine falcons and other birds of prey. The zoo returned more than 70 eagles to the wild in the Pacific Northwest. Sometimes, due to injuries, certain birds could not be released. These were sent to wildlife facilities where they were used to educate people about birds of prey.
Efforts to save threatened and endangered raptors require cooperation and support at international, national, regional and individual levels. You can help in this cause. Join and become active in Woodland Park Zoo and other conservation organizations of your choice.

As a vet of OEF I can say this will be appreciated by veterans and will undoubtedly lead to more service men and women going thru AT&T.
Not sure what image ATT needs to repair. It's a business; everyone of them has ups and downs, and fans and haters. I have never had an issue with ATT with all the years I have been with them. Never had an issue with customer service either.
It is a different experince for everyone and that is why there are different companies so people can find one that suits them.
Quite agreed with Cer0. I've been with AT&T for little over 2 years now. I've never had any issues. Apart from few random billing charges on my bill out of the blue a couple of times, which were taken care of in a timely manner and professionally by AT&T, I have no complaints. Also, I just opened a new account with AT&T with my fiancee. I am now under 2 separate accounts now for AT&T. One under my family (I have iPhone 4S with family), and as of today, one with my fiancee (iPhone 4). I will be canceling my line with my family soon anyways.
Granted that the whole new 4G thing that AT&T is now doing with the iPhone 4S is mainly for marketing purposes, but it's a BUSINESS. As long as there is no service interruption for me, I'm all good. So far I'm happy with AT&T. They even happily unlocked 2 of my out-of-contract iPhone 4's, and 1 3GS.
I'm in the military and deploy in October. I wonder how I can do this to get them to unlock my phone for me...the only problem is I hope I don't have to restore to 5.1...if I do I hope there a JB on the way.
T-Mobile always unlocked my phones for me from the jump, just by virtue of being in the military. I'm curious as to how AT&T's policy is worded specifically. Wonder if it takes into account PCSing and extended TDYs. Still, glad to see them offering something for service members.
Compare that with SoftBank out here, who not only won't unlock any phones, but also only offer 24-mo contracts - even though we're all here for 36 mos. And yes, they charge an ETF, even if you have official orders. smh
"the best part is AT&T is doing it out of the kindness of their hearts as they arent required to do so by any laws."
ATT will NOT do iPhone unlock for no reason beside from their kindness heart. My guessing is ATT is trying to rebuild the bad image it created from the t-mobile merger. They haven't do this for since the original iphone, and now they have kindness out of nowhere.
OH-RAH !!! As a former Active Duty Marine ... I absolutely love this. Service Men should get huge discounts too!!! And who cares why they are doing it, more companies should follow suit.
So I just called AT&T about this. I'm active duty Air Force, and can confirm this is 100% accurate. I did have to wait almost 2 hours to complete my unlock because so many military members are currently doing this, but it's totally worth it since I'll be headed to hot sandy places in the future....
Confirmed with a T-Mo simcard, not just AT&T telling me "yep, its unlocked"
AT&T are doing something that is good (I am English and no on AT&T and have no ax to grind) and people are moaning about it?
Do they think it will help their image? Probably. does that make it bad? No.
Grow up.

I adore the holidays! The Christmas season has to be my favorite time of the year! I love spending time with friends and family and that's exactly what I did last night. I attended the First Annual Snowball thrown by Two Point OH! LA. What an amazing group for fashion, beauty, and style bloggers in Los Angeles! I totally recommend joining if you live here.
The event benefited the Downtown's Women Center and there were so many awesome sponsors. It was held at the Pacific Electric Lofts penthouse ballroom, which was stunning by the way. I walked away with two amazing swag bags! There was DIY lounge, beauty lounge, and a photobooth. It was so much fun! A little too much fun (wink wink).
Here are the gift bags I came home with.

Williams Assumes Role of GSA Acting Administrator
September 2, 2008
Contact: Lindsey Willis, (202) 501-1864
WASHINGTON – James A. Williams assumed the role of Acting Administrator of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) August 30, 2008. Williams, who has devoted 28 years to the federal civil service, including 17 years as a senior executive, was designated by President Bush to become Acting Administrator on August 19, 2008.
"I am honored that President Bush asked me to take on such a critical role in his Administration," said Williams. "I look forward to leading GSA's business resurgence and working with stakeholders to ensure GSA remains the government's primary source of acquisition solutions."
Williams most recently served as Commissioner of GSA's Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) and succeeds Acting Administrator David Bibb, who retired Friday after 37 years of federal civil service. Barnaby L. Brasseux assumed the role of Acting FAS Commissioner August 30, 2008; he most recently served as Deputy FAS Commissioner.
"Together, we have charted a careful course for a smooth transition. Mr. Williams is a proven, experienced leader, and I am confident he will continue to lead GSA to strive to bring excellence to the business of government," said Bibb.
President Bush originally nominated Williams as GSA Administrator on June 25, 2008. The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs unanimously approved the nomination, but shortly after, the full Senate adjourned for its August recess and has not yet acted.
Williams became FAS Commissioner on June 25, 2006. In this capacity, he led the creation of FAS by combining two major GSA acquisition organizations into one that is more effective and efficient—the largest and most complex reorganization in the history of GSA. FAS provides government agencies with the best value in a wide range of products, services and solutions by leveraging the Federal Government's buying power.
Prior to his assignment at FAS, Williams served as Director of the U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT) program at the Department of Homeland Security. Previously, he served in several executive leadership positions at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), including Deputy Associate Commissioner for Program Management, Deputy Assistant Commissioner for procurement and later as Director of Procurement at the IRS.
Earlier in his career, Williams was Director of the Local Telecommunications Procurement Division at GSA, where he was responsible for all nationwide local telecommunications purchases for the agency.
A native of Virginia, Williams earned a bachelor's degree in business administration from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1979 and a master's in business administration from The George Washington University in 1986.
GSA provides a centralized delivery system of products and services to the federal government, leveraging its enormous buying power to get the best value for taxpayers.
• Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 208,000 vehicles.
• GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 420 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
• GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? FAS influences over $50 billion in federal spending, providing best value solutions across a variety of acquisition services and systems.

Taylor Schilling Talks Real-Life 'Orange Is the New Black' Character
Photo: Getty Images
By Kathleen Perricone
Orange Is the New Black star Taylor Schilling called in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest on Tuesday morning to talk about Season 2 of her hit Netflix series.
"It's just been such an amazing experience and all-encompassing from the get-go," the 30-year-old actress says about its success.
Taylor's character Piper Chapman is based on a real person, which is sometimes hard to remember when watching what she has to go through in prison on the show.
"I think a lot of people don't realize that she's a real person," explains Taylor. "And here's the thing, the show at this point is definitely inspired by her memoir … we go rogue big time. But it's certainly inspired by it … and the first season, what specifically was happing with Piper's character is lifted directly from Piper's life experience … it's like a beautiful flavor to the piece."
Season 2 of Orange Is the New Black is available on Netflix now!

Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people. And he said with a loud voice, "Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water." (Revelation 14:6-8 ESV)
There are those who speak of a turning point in their lives, a turn back to God. It may come after hitting rock bottom, loss of a job, death in the family, a marriage on the rocks, or some other tragedy in life. Still there are other times when we believe we have been walking in God's path only to be confronted with God's Word through a sermon, scripture reading, hymn/song, or witness that proves otherwise. It is during that time we turn repent of our sins and turn back to God.
In the teaching, preaching, and witness inside and outside of the church, we should all know that the Word of God does miraculous things to those that hear it. Throughout the Old and New Testament there are recorded accounts of God's Word preserving, convicting, and delivering His people. Jonah knew the power of God's Word could change a city's heart. He knew it to the point that he didn't want to go to those people to share God's Word with them. We will be the first to say that we have troubles sharing God's Word with others. We assume it is because it is simply hard to talk about our faith, but have you ever wondered if the reason is that you can't fathom God changing their lives or is it we don't want God to change their lives?
Can you remember the last time God's Word changed you? Hopefully, it is every time you are confronted with God's Word. In reading Revelation 14:6-8, this is the proclamation of the first of three angels. The proclamation is to everyone nation, tribe, language, and people on earth. Sounds like what Jesus directs us to do in the Great Commission. In order to make disciples of all nations, there must be a proclamation of the Gospel to every nation, tribe, language, and people who dwell on earth. There is something beautiful about angel leading the charge with the gospel. This isn't just some worldly gospel that passes like the fades of this world. No, this is a eternal gospel." A gospel that reminds us to: "Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come."
Just as each of us are confronted with God's Word, we realize that the hour of His judgment has come. Since Christ's ascension to the right hand of the Father, we have been moving closer to that very Judgment Day. This is the very reason why when the Word of God gets us it is beautiful in all aspects. Whether it be the surgical knife that cuts us to reveal the cancerous sin within us or the healing Gospel that restores us in God's eyes. The Word of God is eternal and it leads to our eternal life. What is our response to the Word of God and the angel's proclamation? We humbly "worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water." May your days be blessed by God's Word that both convicts and restores.
Heavenly Father who gives us Your Word and who bestowed upon us the Word made Flesh, grant us your forgiveness for every sin we have committed in thought, word, and deed. We thank you humbling for sending Your Son who stood in our place taking on Your full wrath so that we might live eternally. Gracious Lord, we thank you and implore You for the work of Your Spirit that convicts us through the Word and restores us by showing us the Grace you have bestowed upon us. Lord continue to lead by the proclamation of the eternal gospel for the sake of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Kirk Hamilton, FAIA, is a leading advocate for an evidence-based design process in architecture. For him, the most significant roadblock to adopting quantitative data is reticence among architects who believe that the creative design process is hindered, rather than enriched, by data. "Architects everywhere in the world use information in order to improve the quality of their design decisions," he says. "Every architect is, at one level or another, doing this." The only difference, Hamilton reports, is in the quality of the information available.
What's interesting to me is how the term evidence-based design has become a buzzword. I use it because my editors and publishers want to take advantage of it in a Google search, so it serves a practical function. But evidence-based design is about a process by which one arrives at a product. It's about credible research that's relevant in the context of a unique project. And where I come in is to advocate for a higher level of rigor in doing that.
I see some residential architects starting to think in these terms, which makes sense. After all, research is an important element of working with residential clients—and architects who work with residential clients spend a lot of time trying to understand those clients at a very deep level. There's a builder who has been interviewing me and working with psychiatrists and academic scholars in order to understand how to rigorously gather better client information and, as a result, the buildings he's doing fit the client better than, perhaps, the ones he was doing before that research. And he has ended up with happier clients.
Evidence-based design represents a process that's suitable for every building type. Period. My field happens to be healthcare, in which it makes an awful lot of sense—and a majority of firms in healthcare have become very good over the last decade in accepting and using legitimate research to design better environments.
Evidence can come in an infinite variety of forms, but one of the problems in using that evidence is how casually the idea of "design research" can be interpreted. It's about much more than going to a catalog to find materials. It's about seeking out reliable scholarship, having a design hypothesis, testing your ideas, and finding new information.
By and large, the field of architecture is becoming consistently more sustainable than it was even five years ago. Sustainable design processes, supported by scientific evidence, contribute to improving public health, improving where we live and how we work. But the intentionality of someone designing anything—anything at all—has to include interpretation of the best possible information. —As told to William Richards

Career Counseling: Most clients' first come to me with a feeling of being trapped by the circumstances that work/life has presented them. It's very frustrating! By introducing you to some elegantly simple tools, you will discover that there are openings (physically and energetically) that can dissolve frustrating stuckness. Importantly, you can become aware of perceptions and experiences not previously available to you. The tools/exercises that we use in session experientially shift us out of our everyday minds. This allows you access to another intelligence within a naturopathic pathway supported by your body, hearts and nature.

Gerald Schoenewolf, Ph.D.

Various internal conflict underlie career problems. Often counselors give advice to those who come to them for career counseling, but I stay away from advice. Giving clients advice only keeps them dependent on you. Instead, I focus on the underlying conflicts that are related to low self-esteem, fear of competing or an inability to assert themselves. Often women have their own kind of conflicts about being a woman in a man's world, and internal resentments hold them back. My approach is to focus on the conflicts of each client and help them resolve them and cope more effectively. The approach has proven over the years to be quite successful.

SAN BERNARDINO -- After a three minute pursuit Thursday morning, a woman driving a reportedly stolen car crashed into a parked car occupied by two women causing no injuries, but created traffic delays in the midtown area.
Officers discovered the reported stolen car being driven in the 700 block of 9th Street after the driver made a traffic violation and attempted to make a felony traffic stop, said San Bernardino Police Watch Commander, Lt. Mike Madden.
The driver attempted to elude pursuing officers by fleeing at a high rate of speed up Waterman Avenue, but the chase ended almost as quickly as it began.
"Just north of Highland Avenue the fleeing driver lost control and crashed the reported stolen vehicle into a parked car occupied by two women," he said. "The driver was taken into custody and the two women were uninjured and refused medical assistance."
Officers rerouted motorists through a detour at 27th Street for southbound drivers and Highland Avenue for northbound drivers through a residential area while authorities investigated the scene and administered aid to the three women.
The scene was cleared for traffic at 9:30 a.m..
Police have not released the name of the suspect.

USC graduating first class of biomedical engineers
We can thank biomedical engineers for medical advances including artificial organs, insulin pumps, kidney dialysis, laser-based eye surgery and hearing aids.
And now students at USC have received the same type of training responsible for designing and improving the products and procedures needed to promote better healthcare.
USC is graduating its first class in biomedical engineering, with 10 students earning bachelor's degrees. The program has 143 undergraduate students in the program, with 105 new students expected to arrive in the fall. The university also offers master's and doctoral degree programs in biomedical engineering.
"The biomedical engineering degree programs represent Carolina's commitment to a true synthesis of biology, medicine and engineering," said program director Abdel Bayoumi.
The programs were designed and developed "to train students to initiate, to integrate, to imagine and to invent new processes and new products in order to improve human health," said Bayoumi, who is also a mechanical engineering professor.
It is the only biomedical engineering program in the state. Bayoumi said having the program at USC will help the university and the state recruit biomedical engineering industries and enhance strong collaborations with the USC School of Medicine, MUSC and Clemson in health sciences.
"Our graduates will utilize their unique education and research experience to excel in medical school, in positions ranging from professors in top-ranked universities to executives in new medical device or large pharmaceutical companies," Bayoumi said.
Among the students graduating is Austin Moody of Columbia, who will head to USC's School of Medicine in August.
"I chose USC and the biomedical engineering program due to its proximity to home, as well as the overall vibe I received from the school," Moody said. "All of the faculty members made me feel wanted by the program, and I became very comfortable relating to them."

IronPigs' corn roasting the competition
Nuke Dog, Fantastic Freeze, Knucksie hold strong #foodfight
By Danny Wild / MLB.com | May 24, 2013 6:00 AM ET
Early leaders have held their ground through more than a week of MiLB.com's #foodfight, but with double voting this weekend, it will be sink or swim for some of the Minors' most deliciously caloric dishes.
Lehigh Valley's Aw Shucks Roasted Corn remains the overall vote-leader in #foodfight as it dominates the Local Legends category -- the zesty, buttered IronPigs delicacy has almost twice as many votes as Bristol's heavily-promoted Grand Slam Pie after two weeks of balloting.
Durham's Bull Durham-inspired Nuke Dog and Toledo's Fantastic Freeze Sundae both maintained their leads from Week 1, but Lancaster's Grilled Tri Tip Sandwich fell three spots in the Scrumptious Sandwiches category, trailing the new No. 1, Gwinnett's Knucksie, and Montgomery's teriyaki-glazed pineapple Aloha Burger.
Fans, teams, mascots, players, umpires and generally hungry people can vote for their favorite item in each of four #foodfight categories on MiLB.com and on Twitter, and they'll all have a chance to sway the campaigns this weekend when every vote on Twitter counts twice. Call it an "All you can Tweet" weekend: beginning at noon on Friday and lasting through Sunday, every ballot cast via Twitter counts twice for the entire weekend (to vote on Twitter, simply follow @MiLB, tweet the hashtag #foodfight, and include the name of the team or food item you wish to vote for).
So, it's do or die for a few tasty but challenged items: Hickory's gigantic Clawlossal ranks last in the Gutbuster category, while fans have also stuck a fork in Everett's King Felix K Dog, Altoona's Curverogie and Sacramento's Dan Dog. They each have plenty of time to recover, as does the contest's most exotic item, Missoula's Bats and Balls (deep-fried bull calf testicles with fries), which is ranked no. 14 out of 16 in Local Legends.
Binghamton's Spiedie (pronounced "speedy") ranks No. 3 in the Local Legends bracket. What's a spiedie? Basically, it's marinated cubes of various meat on a roll. The B-Mets held a wacky press conference to promote the campaign:
Besides helping select the Minors' best ballpark dish, fans who vote are also entered for a chance to win #foodfight's grand prize, a trip for four to the ballpark of the winning food item, including airfare, hotel accommodations, game tickets and a food voucher to taste the winning item.
Other prizes include free tickets to a Minor League Baseball game and a Minor League prize pack. Fans can vote as often as they'd like through May 29, when the first round comes to an end. The Final Round -- featuring the four category winners -- kicks off on May 30.
And #foodfight continues to gain national attention. Thanks to the Bisons' campaign for their fried bologna, The Buffalo News selected its "most entertaining (and slightly disgusting) entries," which included the 5,000-calorie Fifth Third Burger of the West Michigan Whitecaps, Rochester's Garbage Plate and Norfolk's Salute to Pork Challenge, among others.
Again, each vote made on Twitter this weekend, beginning at 12 p.m. on May 24, counts twice, so make sure your favorite gets the support it deserves. Tweet now and tweet often, we're hungry for more votes!
From fried moon pies to 5,000-calorie burgers, here's the best of @milb's ballpark #Foodfight: atmlb.com/YJXEWp twitter.com/Cut4/status/33…- Cut4 (@Cut4) May 15, 2013

I am trying to get a bootable copy of BT3 working from a new USB key (8Gb), To save myself time I decided to try and set it up in xp (just run the .bat). I formatted it, extracted the iso to the USB key, ran the .bat.
However when I now try this on the computer I am trying to use BT3 on it just says "operating system not found". This is obviously after I have hit the boot menu and chosen from the USB key.
Am I being stupid?

Bradley Scott is a 23 year old, 8-1 welterweight and is currently in the TUF Smashes house. We recently saw him defeat Ben Alloway to get into the Finale and secure his place for a shot at a UFC contract. He trains out of Dragonslair MMA and Trojan Free Fighters and he describes his style as a grinder which we could all agree with after seeing his fight this past week against Alloway.
I had the pleasure of asking Brad a few questions about his journey through the TUF house, some of the issues that came up and what emotions he is feeling now that he has a chance to secure that dream UFC contract.

Fashion plays a pivotal role in the lush backdrop of Luca Guadagnino's I Am Love—thanks in no small part to the evocative wardrobe created by Raf Simons for Jil Sander. Simons was tasked with taking Tilda Swinton's character, the elegant Russian wife of a wealthy Italian textile manufacturer, from her family's ornate Milanese mansion to the verdant countryside of San Remo, where she begins a clandestine courtship with a young chef (to make things all the more scandalous, her paramour happens to be a pal of her son). We asked Swinton to discuss her character's sartorial evolution.
On working with Raf Simons:
"He has a sense of classical reference, but he's such a modernist. And that pretty much describes what Luca and my challenge to ourselves was, which was to make a modernist film based on classical cinematic references. So he just felt like the perfect fellow traveler."

Motley Crue country tribute album details revealed
Listen to Motley Crue on iHeartRadio
Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx admits honoring the group with a country tribute album took more than a few people by surprise. But the bassist says he thinks it's actually a pretty good idea -- especially after he heard who would be involved.
Sixx adds that every Motley Crue song he's written was composed on an acoustic guitar, and originally had a more laid back, country feel until the band made the song "what it gets turned into." The rocker explains that when "a song is great, it's great," and can be performed in almost any style and sound good.
In addition to LeAnn Rimes' version of "Smokin' in the Boys Room," the 15-track set will feature Brantley Gilbert covering "Girls, Girls, Girls" and Florida Georgia Line putting their stamp on "If I Die Tomorrow." Justin Moore, Rascal Flatts, and Gretchen Wilson are some of the other stars who contribute to the disc. "Nashville Outlaws: A Tribute to Motley Crue" will be released on July 8th.

Netflix: A Guide to Kid's Movies and TV Parents Will Love
For those moments when you actually want to watch something with your kids, instead of stuffing cotton in your ears: 10 picks you can stand to watch without being drunk.
-April Daniels Hussar
One day in the future, denizens of a highly evolved nation will happen upon leftover airwaves from kids' TV of today and wonder why … why did we allow ourselves to be tormented? For what grave crimes did we punish our young mothers with the incessant squealing and sound effects of Dora the Explorer and Sponge Bob? WHY, WHY?
Should you actually want to site down with, watch, and, yes, enjoy some boob-tube time with your little ones, I present to you the following list … all of which can be had on Netflix or, perhaps, your local video store, and all of which can be enjoyed without a mild sedative.

New York City Vegan Food Friday: Photo Essay
Hello, hello! Jess here, and I'm currently nearing the end of a special New York hiatus. As a native Long Islander (which I don't always admit, so we must all be friends here), I've been seeking out vegetarian options in the city since I was in high school. No matter how long I'm in town for, there are always a few locales on my must-go lists, and so many damn new places to try and work in! This time around, it had not only been three years since I'd last been, I also had my never-been-to-New York girlfriend with me, and we only had so much time on our hands with a wedding to attend, museums to visit, shopping, sightseeing and sleeping. I had been talking up how New York makes the best bagels, knishes (and explaining what one was), pizza, ice cream and falafel, big time, and while we didn't check everything off our list (I'm trying!), we threw in some Thai, a vegan diner and crossaints.
Here's a peak into our first few days for Vida Vegan's MoFo! Food! Friday!
Just this morning, my sister and I walked from her apartment in Brooklyn to a nearby vegan doughnut shop…delightful….and I have three more days to go! For more obsessive NYC vegan dining updates, check it.
2 thoughts on "New York City Vegan Food Friday: Photo Essay"
Oh, I need to return to NYC soon.
Great stuff! I live in NYC, and I don't know about half the places you've mentioned! I will have to put them on my list for vegan outings! Thanks!

Without playing a game, the Utah basketball program got a win on Wednesday.
Signing Day was a success, as all four Ute recruits sent in their letters of intent and were approved by the end of practice.
Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak declined comment on his new players, as junior college guard Delon Wright's letter had yet to be faxed at the time. But Wright tweeted his official signing, and it was confirmed shortly after Krystkowiak spoke to the media.
Two local players Parker Van Dyke from East High and Brandon Miller from Brighton have signed with the Utes. Both are 6-foot-3 combination guards with scoring ability and the talent to run a team.
Marko Kovacevic, a 6-11 center, comes from Western Nebraska Community College. Wright, the younger brother of NBA forward Dorell Wright, is a 6-5 guard from San Francisco City College.
Those four add depth and athleticism to a team that potentially returns all but two seniors from the 2012 group. Miller and Van Dyke are both candidates to go on an LDS Church mission before enrolling in school. Wright is considered the gem of the class, with an ability to play all three perimeter positions.
The calm before
Friday's home matchup with Sacramento State begins a stretch of four games in eight days for Utah, its first flurry of games of the season.
"You look at that, and certainly you need the experience," Krystkowiak said. "We want to look at the next game for what it is. We can't look past anyone on the schedule, so we have to worry about what's ahead of us on Friday."
He's back
Krystkowiak said senior guard Jarred DuBois will play on Friday night, after missing last week's game against Willamette with a hip injury.
DuBois, a transfer from Loyola Marymount, returned to practice on Monday after missing a full week.
"I'm not sure whether he'll start or not, but he will play," Krystkowiak said. "That's the nice thing. We have a lot of different directions we can go, and a lot of combinations we can use."

A marijuana fest in downtown Cleveland
(Cleveland) - The 14th annual Cleveland Peace and Freedom Rally was held at Huntington Park across the street from the Justice Center. It's also known as the Pot Fest.
Advocates for the legalization of marijuana conducted the festival. Folks signed petitions lobbying the state legislature to pass proposals to legalize marijuana for medicinal and other purposes. There was also music throughout the day.
Jerry Braseman, a member of the National Organization for the Repeal of Marijuana Laws says it's time for Ohio to follow other states and legalize the drug.
Braseman tells Newsradio WTAM 1100, there is an economic benefit to the normalization and legalization of pot. He contends, it's a material that farmers can grow to make industrial hemp, and doctors can used its medical benefits to treat a variety of ailments.
Sher Neufer of the Ohio Chapter of NORML blames Republicans for blocking legalization, and says the GOP should be about getting government out of people's lives.
Others claim marijuana is safer than alcohol, and point to deadly car crashes and fatal shootings caused by too much drinking.

Dean Baquet
Doug Mills/ The New York Times
Dean Baquet is executive editor of the New York Times, the top position in the newsroom. He assumed the role on May 14, 2014, succeeding Jill Abramson, who left the post.
Mr. Baquet, whose last name is pronounced BACK-eh, had been managing editor for news for Ms. Abramson when she departed. He had also been Washington bureau chief for The Times when he rejoined paper in 2007 after several years at the Los Angeles Times, where he had been editor of the newspaper since 2005, the top newsroom position there. Before that, he was the managing editor of the Los Angeles Times, taking that post in 2000.
Mr. Baquet joined TheNew York Times in April 1990 as a metropolitan reporter. In May 1992 he became special projects editor for the business desk and in January 1994 he held the same title but operated out of the executive editor's office. In 1995, he became the national editor of The Times.
Before joining The Times, he reported for The Chicago Tribune from December 1984 to March 1990, and before that for The Times Picayune in, New Orleans for nearly seven years.
While at The Tribune, Mr. Baquet served as associate metropolitan editor for investigations and was chief investigative reporter, covering corruption in politics and in the garbage-hauling industry.
He was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting in March 1988 when he led a team of three in documenting corruption in the Chicago City Council, and was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize in 1994 in the investigative reporting category. Mr. Baquet has also received numerous local and regional awards.
Born on Sept. 21, 1956, Mr. Baquet majored in English at Columbia University from 1974 to 1978. He and his wife, Dylan, have one son, Ari.

One of my fave curvy gals, Jennifer Hudson, has been rockin' the red carpet and the stage with her fashion choices. Here she is at a few Grammy spots and a recent MTV appearance. She looks like she may be slimming down as well. I hope she's doing it for the right reasons. We all know what the pressure from Hollywood can do. Do you think she still have her curves? If she loses more weight will you look at her differently? Do you love her regardless? I love her no matter what! She's beautiful and talented! I want to know what you think.

Information for:
When did the first male students graduate from the Nursing School?
The College first admitted women in 1969. In March of the same year, the Nursing School announced that it would accept applications from male students. The dean of the School, Sister Rita Marie Bergeron, OSB, cited expanding the supply of professional nurses as the main reason for the change. Three male students graduated in 1976, among them Richard Haas, the first male to enroll. In an interview published in The Washington Post on May 17, 1976, Mr. Haas recounted how, as a volunteer firefighter in Prince George's County, he was nicknamed "Flo" and was continually questioned and teased by his fellow firefighters about his status as a nursing student. However, that changed when "we had an accident where two people were killed and seven were lying in the street. A little girl was pinned under a car. Nobody knew where to start. I kept pressure on the girl's femoral artery for 45 minutes [and saved her life]' Nobody asked me any questions after that."

walk around a lot or try going to main spots ive seen writers here n there at main spots painting n i went to talk to em. even going to graff stores
I had a friend that wasn't a tagger and i was opposite . In school i was always in the building doing nothing . So i asked my friend one day ( hes not a writer but kicks it with them ) what do they do and he just said sit and talk about shit . Then cause i looked like a little tagger i tagged along and yea then later found out 11-15 of them write . Now i kick it with them everyday
Step 1. Go out to a graff heat spot.
Step 2. Say hi.
go to a graff shop.
I sever heads, just to sharpen my skills
one way is to go over a tag (nothin more than that) and to get a small beef going and meet them
Ask bums ive tried that it works
I met one guy, but he was on the other side of a fence, and just stopped talking and left suddenly...
Other then that I have met stencilers like no tomorrow....
i want some people to run with in mtl I'm a decent beginner artist hit me up if anyone wants
ive met alot of writers at skate parks and hookah bars
wear a hello my name is sticker with your graff name on you at all times eventually youll get spotted by som writers and they will give you free paint for being so r4d
always write near there tags eventually you will find them
Hahaha.. Christ.. Just get better and go paint.. Make them wanna find you.
What makes you a real writer?
Never doin' the same style twice.
anyone in warren county, va area?
I met a writer at an uppity art store, believe it or not. He worked in the basement and had long ass dreads. His wife was like the manager or something. He doesn't really talk to me any more though, he's like 30. And I think he's having a kid. Also one of his friends came through one time but he didn't wanna sign my black book, i guess cuz he was with his kids.
a true Philly King
Ive met a couple legends but i havent met many active writers, i met Spin 183 at a laundrymat in nyc, and i met Skeme , (yes the one from style wars who argues with his mom,) i met him on the train... Heres my advice : whenever you ee somebody wearing a hat with graffiti on it, ask them where they got it, theyre usually writers who made it themsleves
Swine One N.S.E
"Hard work beats talent when talent doesnt work hard "
Met many greats. It's humbling to meet legends.
Best way is to go to your local graff shop or any where that sells paint.
Here in philly, there are writers blocks and everyone comes together and does books and chills. It's a great atmosphere for a young writer.
find people who do spots near you, and message em
obvious mental insanity zone
one must insure zen
interesting post...

Master of Education- Curriculum and Instruction Program
The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, requires that all federal financial aid recipients make satisfactory academic progress toward degree completion. In addition to receiving financial aid from one or more of the various federal funds, receipt of state or institutional funds will also rely on a student meeting these standards. These standards apply to a graduate student's entire degree program including terms in which financial aid was not received. Specific aid programs or departmental standards may require more than the minimum standards described below to continue in the program.
The Standards
1. Cumulative grade point average
All students are expected to achieve an overall program cumulative g.p.a. of 3.0. Credits transferred into the program (up to 6) must also have a 3.0 or better to be accepted. The BVU CGPA will not reflect the grades for courses completed elsewhere. Hours accepted into the BVU program will also not be included in the SAP analysis.
Students must continue to maintain a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.0 in order to remain in good standing. If the cumulative grade point average drops below 3.0 at the end of any semester, the student may continue to receive aid for one more semester on financial aid warning with the approval of the Office of Financial Assistance. If, following approval to continue past a warning period, the CGPA has been raised to 3.0, the student may continue with the program in good standing for financial aid purposes. Students who fail to improve to the level of good standing after one semester on financial aid warning may have financial assistance suspended. However, an appeal process is available and upon a successful appeal through the Office of Financial Assistance, which will include an academic plan, the student may be allowed to continue to receive financial assistance. Students in this situation will continue to be eligible for financial assistance as long as they are meeting the standards in the plan.
2. Pace
All courses completed at BVU are included in the analysis of academic standing. Incompletes are not a grading option. If a course is repeated, the repeat(s) will count in attempted hours for pace calculation purposes. The same is true for courses in which the student withdraws. A student will be placed on financial aid warning following any semester in which he/she withdraws.
Fulltime graduate students in the Master of Education-Curriculum and Instruction Program are expected to complete 15 hours each academic year.
Review Process
The Academic Standing Committee will review students' progress three times each academic year (following fall, spring and summer semesters, where each semester is comprised of two terms). The Office of Financial Assistance will use each semester review provided by the Academic Standing Committee to notify in writing those students whose academic record falls short of the standards for financial assistance eligibility, as detailed above. Based on the results of that review, a student may be placed in financial aid warning for the first occurrence. If a student is placed on financial aid warning, financial aid eligibility will continue through the warning period.
A student who fails to achieve good academic standing after a warning period will have financial assistance suspended from the University unless an appeal is submitted and approved. Appeals may be granted by the Office of Financial Assistance in cases of extenuating circumstances such as illness, family emergencies, etc., that may affect a student's ability to achieve SAP. An academic plan must be developed in these situations and the student will remain eligible for financial assistance as long as the plan standards are being met.
A student without a successful appeal will have financial assistance suspended.
Appeal Process
All appeals must be in writing and received by the Office of Financial Assistance within one week of notification of suspension of financial assistance. The written appeal must include and document the extenuating circumstance that prevented the student from meeting the SAP requirements, what has changed in the student's situation, and the specific steps that will be taken to ensure future success, including a schedule of classes to be taken, when those classes will be taken, and if there will be transfer work.
Before a decision is made, the student's progress, along with details in the appeal, will be reviewed by the Graduate Council and then by the SAP Committee to determine if and how the student can regain good academic standing.
Re-establishing SAP
Other than in situations where an appeal is granted, a student who has lost eligibility for federal or state aid can only regain eligibility by taking action that brings them back into satisfactory academic progress. Neither paying for classes nor sitting out any length of time affects a student's academic standing so neither is sufficient to re-establish eligibility.
If a previously suspended student applies for readmission to BVU ( which would include a new reason for appeal) after an academic suspension, that student may be allowed to return, with the benefit of financial assistance, if an academic plan is created to assist the student in attaining satisfactory progress. The student would continue to be eligible for financial assistance as long as the plan specifics are being met.
Duration of Eligibility for Financial Assistance
Students enrolled in this program will be allowed to attempt 37 total credit hours in the program. If the attempted program is not completed within this timeframe, even in situations where there has been a change of course of study, financial aid eligibility will be terminated. Appeals will be allowed on a case-by-case basis and must be made to the Office of Financial Assistance.
