Cut the bread into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Heat the milk in a saucepan; add the sugar, stirring to dissolve. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Add the eggs, vanilla, and salt; mix well. Dip each slice of bread into the milk mixture until well coated. Place in a flat dish and pour the remaining liquid over the bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight. In a heavy skillet, fry the bread in very hot bacon grease until golden on both sides. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugars. Serve hot with maple syrup.
Variation: Add 2 tablespoons of Grand Marnier to the milk; decrease the sugar to 1 tablespoon and the vanilla to 1/2 teaspoon.

ISRAEL last week was on the diplomatic offensive for the first time since the Soviet military advisers were expelled from Egypt two months ago. That sudden and historic expulsion left Israel militarily supreme in the Middle East, and therefore able to risk making a generous peace offer. At the same time, Israel could no longer cite security as a reason for hanging on to the territory taken from the Arabs during the 1967 Six-Day War; it thus faced the possibility of international pressure to return the land to its rightful owners. Israel cautiously waited before making its move, but it...

With 1,350 employees in its five U.S. factories, New Balance is proud it still produces 7 million pairs of shoes each year at its plants in Maine and Massachusetts, the last major athletic-footwear company that still has manufacturing jobs in the United States.
But the company says those jobs could disappear if the U.S. scraps its tariff on athletic footwear coming in from Vietnam.
It's part of the mounting anxiety over the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the largest trade pact proposed in U.S. history. And as 400 negotiators from nine countries met privately at a Northern Virginia golf course last week in an attempt to finalize details, New Balance officials weren't the only ones fretting.
Autoworkers feared the loss of 26,500 domestic jobs and said the production of American cars would fall if Japan joins the pact and the United States drops a 2.5 percent tariff on Japanese cars, making them cheaper to buy.
Doctors worried that it will be harder to get medicines to fight AIDS and other diseases in developing countries if U.S. negotiators insist on extending patents for pharmaceutical companies.
And many members of Congress and other critics lamented that such big decisions were being made in secret at a luxury resort far from public view.
.....opponents derided the new trade pact as "NAFTA on steroids," a reference to the North American Free Trade Agreement passed by Congress in 1993 that opponents say led to U.S. jobs moving to Mexico, backers predicted the Trans-Pacific deal would increase U.S. exports, create more jobs and lower prices for American consumers.

Campaign at a glance
Mast Sanity's campaign involved a range of tactics to get their view across, some of which are detailed below.
1. Once you have discovered a mast is going to be put up in your area, find out how the planning application is to be dealt with. Many phone masts are simply given permission as a matter of course by council planning departments.
2. If this is the case, you will need to get your local councillor to "call the application in" to ensure it appears on the council's agenda.
3. Get everyone in the area to write letters of objection to the council's planning department and to individual members of the planning committee. Point out concern over potential health risks and how the mast may affect property prices and quality of life in the area. Everyone should also object to the mobile phone operator.
4. Make lots of noise. Form an action group and make contact with a national campaign such as Mast Sanity. Contact your local newspaper, television and radio.
5. Organise a public meeting and, if possible, get your local MP to attend. Print up flyers detailing the application and decorate the area with posters protesting against the mast, with eye-catching slogans.
6. Get a copy of all the application documents from you local planning office.
7. Try to organise a protest on the day before the council meeting and get local media to attend.
8. Do not despair if the decision goes against you - there are other options. Don't take no for an answer.
9. One option is to apply for a judicial review of the council's decision in the High Court. Without legal aid, this can be very expensive, so speak to a solicitor first. But don't waste too much time; you will only have a few weeks to challenge the council's decision. If you do decide to go ahead with court action, there is usually somebody in the local community who will be eligible for legal aid, so you can bring the case in their name.
10. Even when a mast has been built all is not necessarily lost. It is possible to take the mobile phone operator to County Court under Schedule 2 of the 1984 Telecommunications Act. This is a relatively inexpensive option and has been successful in the past. You will need to prove that your property has been adversely affected by the mast. A third, less tried, method is to appeal to the Secretary of State for local government and planning, who has the final say in planning matters.

Hello i have seen film cast away approximately 20 times this very good film what is your favorite film.
My favorite hollywood film is Titanic for all the time.
Alright, guys and gals, it's been fun!Interesting as it may be though, this thread has now really run its course and no longer has a place on SitePoint with the new quality control policy in General Chat.
Thread closed.
Spartacus Bloody Sand is very impressive !
my favourit flims is prince of persia
My favorite Hollywood movie is 'Troy'
Alice in wonderland is great !
I like lord of the rings. I like it's colossal war.I also like harry potter, because the fantasy is cool.
My favorite Hollywood film is "baby's day out."
I Fav. Movies Is Iron Man 2,prince of persia, the a-team
Will Smith's movies are great !
For the record, when not "on location", it's shot in Pinewood (UK).
Can't believe some of the selections here. Ferris Buellers Day Off would have to be high on my list. Stand by Me also. In recent years, some of the animation stuff has really been the cream of the crop - I thought finding Nemo (and even Wall-e) were outstanding movies in their own right. But film isn't limited to Hollyplastic. Check out "Veer Zaara" for a great love story, or "The Beautiful Boxer" or "La Vita è bella" for a taste of something Hollywood will never produce....
Hello, my favorite film is "SAW-4":)
My fav. is "Face off"
Batman and Batman Begins.
My favorite Hollywood film is Titanic. This movie is very interesting to see. The ship, the characters , etc are nice to see. The sinking of the ship is well pictured in this movie.
My favorite hollywood movie is also titanic. It's the only movie that makes me cry, thrilled and happy at the same time.
Saving Private Ryan comes to mind...
2012 is my favorite movie.I watched it three times.This movie is awesome and it's soundtracks is really excellent.I like "It's Not The End of The World" track very much.:)
I love watching movies. But one of my favorite is transformer I love their effects

Earthquake Hazards Program
A long sequence of earthquakes, eight with magnitudes between 5 and 6, struck the Umbria and Marche regions of central Italy between September 26, 1997 and July 1998. The earthquake swarm caused severe structural damage, particularly to masonry buildings, and resulted in the loss of twelve lives and about 150 injuries. The source of the events was a single seismogenic structure that consists of several faults with a prevailing northwest-southeast strike and crosses the Umbria-Marche border. The focal mechanism of the largest shocks indicates that the events were the product of shallow extensional normal faulting along a NE-SW extension perpendicular to the trend of the Apennines.
The network of analog seismometer stations in the Umbria and Marche regions recorded motions of the main September and October 1997 events and a dense array of mobile digital stations, installed since September 29, recorded most of the swarm. The permanent national network Rete Accelerometrica Nazionale (RAN) is administered and maintained by Dipartimento delle Protezione Civile (DPC: Civil Protection Department); the temporary array was managed by Servizio Sismico Nazionale (SSN) in cooperation with small agencies and Universities. ENEA, the operator of many seismometer stations in Umbria, is the public Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and the Environment.
Many of the temporary and permanent stations in the Italian seismic network have little or no characterization of seismic velocities. In this study, we investigated 17 Italian sites using an active-source approach that employs low frequency harmonic waves to measure the dispersive nature of surface waves in the ground. We used the Spectral Analysis of Surface Wave (SASW) approach, coupled with an array of harmonic-wave electro-mechanical sources that are driven in-phase to excite the ground. An inversion algorithm using a non-linear least-squares best-fit method is used to compute shear wave velocities for up to 100 meters of the soil column. A draft report was published in the summer of 2008, followed by a comment period, lengthy discussions with Italian colleagues, and improved knowledge of the subsurface at the sites from soil logs. Four of the sites were reprocessed in order to correct issues with phase unwrapping of the field dispersion curves that complicated the velocity profile calculations at the lowest velocity sites. This report presents the final results from the reprocessing effort.

Review Ursinus College
Ursinus was a school that I applied at last minute to and wasn't entirely sure about my decision. However, I have been pleasantly surprised over and over again here. The professors are extremely qualified in their fields and the small class size makes it super easy to get a more personal and engaging learning experience. The student body is diverse not only in their ethnic background but also socioeconomically, politically and their interest. I am a member of the swimming and track team along with balancing a double major and a radio show. The passion among the students here, especially the studnet-atheletes is contagious, and it wasn't long before I found myself passionate not only about my course but also my studies.
The Ursinus community is very nice, many students on campus freely express their opinions and there are many on campus opportunities. From academic and Greek organizations to club sports there is plenty of student groups on campus. The faculty and staff are very friendly over time some may even begin to be like family. Food needs a little work and like in most places not everyone knows what hygiene and cleanliness are but that's why there are many options for housing after the first year and multiple options for getting a bite to eat.
Ursinus College is a small, private college in Collegeville, PA. It may be small but its size makes it unique and actually quite likable. The students become close and the learning is really tailored to the students' style. The classes are challenging but fun, the clubs are welcoming, and the events make everyone feel like a community. The thing I would change would be the limited diversity at the college. I would like to see people of many more backgrounds and experiences.

Credit crunch may squeeze slate funders, says Fazio
The rising cost of credit in the US sparked by the recent collapse of the mortgage sector has made film financing a more precarious business, according to Deutsche Bank's new global head of media and entertainment structured finance Laura Fazio.'People are concerned that the debt costs around these transactions have risen,' Fazio said in an interview with the Financial Times. 'The pricing on them looks tough. I don't think anyone is jumping in right now [as a new investor].'

Clinical commissioning groups: what do we know so far?
In the past few days, clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) have come several steps closer to taking control of £65 billion of NHS spending. The NHS Commissioning Board published the results of the first wave of the CCG authorisation process last week, and today released more details about how it intends to support the development of the new approach to commissioning. The results of the authorisation process so far tell us important things about how CCGs are developing.
First, there are some grounds for optimism. All of the 34 CCGs completing the process in the first wave have been authorised, in some cases unconditionally, but more often with specified conditions attached. So far, the NHS Commissioning Board has not found it necessary to use the more punitive measures and sanctions available to it.
The conditions that have been applied to the first wave of CCGs give an indication of where their strengths and weaknesses lie. Of the 119 criteria CCGs must meet, there were two which CCGs failed to satisfy far more commonly than any others:
- having a clear and credible plan that sets out draft commissioning intentions for 2013/14 and a high-level strategic plan for 2014/15
- having a detailed financial plan setting out how the CCG will achieve financial balance and operate within its management allowance.
Only 50 per cent of the first wave of CCGs were able to meet the first of these important requirements. One interpretation is that while CCGs have made significant progress in putting the basics in place and preparing to accept their new powers, some do not yet have a clear plan for how they will use these powers once authorised. The core challenge they face is to commission improved services for patients in a time of financial stringency, and there is still some distance to go before we can be confident that CCGs will be able to rise consistently to this challenge.
We also know that many CCGs are grappling with the tricky question of what it means to be a membership organisation. The first authoritative research on the early development of CCGs was published last month by the Policy Research Unit in Commissioning (PRUComm), and highlights the diverse approaches being taken towards this by different CCGs. Many smaller CCGs are working hard to be seen as being owned by their members, whereas in larger CCGs, the conceptualisation is often that the role of members is to select the governing body and grant them authority to act on their behalf.
Most CCGs are using some form of locality structure as a means of trying to create more local ownership over commissioning decisions. However, the PRUComm research suggests that there is a lack of clarity over the role of localities, in terms of which powers will be devolved. Delegating significant responsibilities and budgets to localities will not always be viable within the management cost allowance. Given this, there is a serious question over whether so-called 'strong localities' will be able to live up to their name.
The research also suggests that some CCGs are struggling to find the right balance between being a membership organisation and playing a leadership role in developing primary care. There is considerable nervousness over this, with CCGs not wanting to alienate members by appearing to performance manage them.
The commitment, energy and skill shown by GPs across the country in getting CCGs to their current level of development should not be underestimated. Over the next two years, further light will be shed on the challenges faced by CCGs, as well as their successes, by a major research project being conducted by The King's Fund in partnership with the Nuffield Trust. The research is following a group of selected CCGs across the country as they evolve. Our first results – due for publication in summer 2013 – will tell us more about this critical part of the new system architecture.

I am a alpha one patient and I have seen nothing in place for this disease ...which beggars belief! Will this disease ever be RECOGNISED? and if not WHY? We are a small group of people under 500 here in the UK and I am frankly appalled at this ...could you contact me and explain this to me, we NEED CARE AND ATTENTION..we are CRITICALLY ILL and I would like to have it outlined to me..thank you.

Your decision on GE foods is obviously being controlled by the food companies and is not being controled by the people. The majority of people are oppossed to GE foods outright or desire more testing for enviromental impact. GE corn has already been proven to kill butterflies due to the pesticide that it naturally produces. There has been no testing however to prove or disprove that this GE foods do not trigger allergies in people. Not to mention what the enviromental impact of plants that can produce their own pesticides. The overuse of pesticides has already polluted our water and only allowed the pests to develop an immunity. How do we know that any of these plants will be safe for people, our unborn children, our pets, or the many benificial animals and insects that are in this world? You have no evidence, so why will you allow these possible dangers into our food supply and our farmland?

During his four-year career at Wake Forest, Sankey, a backup
quarterback until this season, asked for a switch so he could get more
playing time.
Caldwell told Sankey to sit tight and good things would happen.
It did in the Aloha Bowl on Saturday, when Sankey ended his collegiate
career by guiding the Demon Deacons (7-5) to a 23-3 victory over
Arizona State.
Voted the game's outstanding player, Sankey passed for one touchdown
and put his team in position for another TD and Matthew Burdick's three
field goals.
''I can't say enough about him,'' Caldwell said of Sankey. ''We are
indebted to his commitment to the program.
''He played behind someone for four years. He wanted to play another
position - wide receiver or safety. He's a tremendous individual.''
But Sankey wasn't about to talk about the past. His focus remained on
the Sun Devils.
''Arizona State underestimated us and came to play smash-mouth
football,'' Sankey said. ''We were sluggish at first. That happens. But we
worked our game plan. We did the little things and didn't worry about
ASU's defense.''
Both teams struggled offensively in the first half, with Burdick and Mike
Barth exchanging field goals.
In the third quarter, a partially blocked punt by Marvin Chalmers led to a
24-yard field goal by Burdick, and Sankey connected with Jimmy
Caldwell - the coach's son - on a 56-yard scoring pass. Caldwell caught
the ball on a slant pattern, dodged two defenders and raced untouched
into the end zone.
''I saw the safety cheating up,'' Sankey said. ''Jimmy ran a great route. I
just look for his uniform. He did the rest. It was a momentum-builder.''
Arizona State coach Bruce Snyder said, ''We had a double-robber
called. It was to take away that play. Once again, we didn't make the
play. But it was the right call.''
The final points came after Nick Murphy's punt went out at the Wake
Forest 49. On the ninth play of the drive, Morgan Kane dived over for
the score. A fumble recovery also led to Burdick's 43-yard field goal.
''It was one of our better-played games offensively. And we shut down a
team with a lot of weapons,'' Jim Caldwell said. ''Our special teams also
did well.
''We're a pretty good football team, but it takes us awhile to get on
Arizona State was dealt a setback before the kickoff when 10 players,
three of them starters, came down with food poisoning.
''Not to make any excuses, but we woke up this morning with eight to 12
guys sick,'' Snyder said.
''But that's not to take away from Wake Forest. They're strong, physical
and I have a lot of admiration for them. They took us out of what we
wanted to do.
Ten Arizona State players, including three starters - quarterback John
Leonard, defensive tackle Jawell Samilton and safety Alfred Williams -
saw only limited action as a result of the outbreak. Prior to the game, the
Sun Devils lost quarterback Ryan Kealy with a knee injury.
Sankey completed 13-of-22 passes for 188 yards. Kane rushed for 83
yards on 21 attempts.
For the Sun Devils (6-6), J.R. Redmond rushed for 89 yards.
But Arizona State, which had only 94 yards rushing overall, advanced
beyond the 50 only twice. The first resulted in the Sun Devils' only
points, and the second, to the Demon Deacons 24, ended with a missed
field goal.
''They're a good rushing defense team,'' Snyder said. ''And everything we
do is off the running game.''

Quote:She didnt touch me during the main process except once. My abdomen was trembling at this point and she seemed to have flicked me on the head (my eyes were closed) and the trembling subsided. She made the comment about my being not well grounded and said she was just drawing the negative energy out of the group of people. She was moving her arms up and down in a wave like motion without touching anyone, except for the one tap on my head that i mentioned. Prior to her tapping my head, i was trying to visualize storing energy in the dan tien region, which was augmenting the vibration more than what she herself appeared to have been doing. Is it possible to store energy well being grounded? Is the vibration a good sign or a bad sign? I wasnt sure what to make of it, and she didnt seem to want to elaborate much, as it was at a mall demonstration.

I had my first of 4 fraxel restore treatments 3 days ago. I read about Fraxel in Real Simple magazine and the review said it was the best treatment for acne scarring. I am 45 and have scarring from acne. I had consulted another plastic surgeon about a far more expensive procedure (laser resurfacing) which was twice as expensive and had more down time-2 weeks minimum. When I found about about Fraxel, I did a lot of research and consulted with the only plastic surgeon who has one in my area. I had to pay up front for all 4 treatments because the results can take up to 6-12 months to see. The procedure was uncomfortable and ore tolerable in some areas than others. I had swelling the first 2 days-now my skin is just dry (like sandpaper) but I can already see some improvement especially around my eye area. I did not know before but found out it can help with dark circles( I am hoping!!) I have a few breakouts as my skin is shedding. I've been told that at the ten day mark your skin will glow-looking forward to no more sandpaper!!
Looking Good

1 (14-16 lb.) fresh turkey*
For the brine:
- 1 cup kosher salt
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 gallon vegetable stock
- 1 tbsp. black peppercorns
- 1½ tsp. allspice berries
- 1½ tsp. chopped candied ginger (I omitted)
- 1 gallon heavily iced water
For the aromatics:
- 1 red apple, sliced
- ½ onion, sliced
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 cup water
- 4 sprigs rosemary
- 6 leaves sage
- Canola oil
step 1: Show Images
To prepare the brine, combine the salt, brown sugar, vegetable stock, peppercorns, allspice and ginger in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the solids. Remove from the heat, cool to room temperature, and then refrigerate until ready to use.
step 2: Show Images
The night before you plan to serve the turkey, combine the brine and ice water in a 5 gallon bucket (or larger for a bigger bird). Place the thawed turkey (innards removed) breast side down in the brine. If necessary, weigh down the bird so it is fully immersed. Cover and refrigerate or set in a cool area for 8-16 hours, turning once halfway through brining.
step 3: Show Images
Preheat the oven to 500˚ F. Remove the bird from the brine and rinse inside and out with cold water. Discard the brine. (Be sure to clean out your sink well after this step!) Place the bird on the wire rack inside a roasting pan. Pat dry with paper towels.
step 4: Show Images
Combine the apple, onion, cinnamon stick and 1 cup water in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Add the steeped aromatics to the cavity of the turkey along with the rosemary and sage. Tuck the wings underneath the bird and brush the skin liberally with canola oil.
step 5: Show Images
Roast the turkey on the lowest rack of the oven at 500˚ F for 30 minutes. Insert a probe thermometer into the thickest part of the breast and lower the oven temperature to 350˚ F. Set the thermometer alarm, if available, for 161˚ F. (A 14-16 lb. bird will take about 2-2½ hours.) Let the turkey rest, loosely covered with foil for 15 minutes before carving and serving.
step 6: Show Images
*You can certainly make a larger turkey with this recipe. I have made 23-pounders multiple times. It will obviously take longer to cook through, and an instant-read thermometer is absolutely essential for knowing when the bird is properly cooked. You also could use a frozen turkey, but I wouldn't recommend it. For one thing, many frozen turkeys are injected with a salt-laden preservative that will cause your bird to be overly salted after brining. And plus, it's Thanksgiving! Go for the best quality ingredients available – fresh tastes better. If using frozen, thaw in the refrigerator 2-3 days before roasting.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Shorty Goldstein's Restaurant Review: A simple wood and subway-tile counter greets you at the door while a chalkboard painted wall shows the house cured, brined, smoked or pickled offerings of the day. With the exception of the bagels and rye bread for the sandwiches, everything is made on site from locally sourced ingredients. If you favor assertive flavor, opt for the pastrami, which delivers a smokiness distinctly unlike most New York variants. Corned beef provides a milder meat. Potato salad is infused with crunchy and herbaceous greens, and coleslaw is precisely executed. Pickles, salads and fillings for stuffed cabbage and rugelach all vary seasonally dictated by what's in market. There's a long bar along an exposed brick wall if you want a seat to eat, but most Financial District lunchers grab their meal to go.

Pan Pharmaceuticals founder Jim Selim would share in future profits if a plan to revive the company proceeded, his lawyers told the NSW Supreme Court yesterday.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration was "very interested in the disclosure in the court" and would seek legal advice on the ramifications, a spokeswoman said.
The regulator has said repeatedly since it closed Pan's operations in April that any future involvement by Mr Selim could jeopardise a new licence.
Mr Selim's barrister, Robert Newlinds, SC, said that in documents dated August 8, 2003, that his client had agreed to sell his 51 per cent stake in Pan for a nominal sum initially, with a final price determined in several years' time.
"Mr Selim has the prospect of sharing in some of the profit, not by any interest in the company but by virtue of the way the purchase price is calculated," Mr Newlinds said.
Mr Selim plans to sell his shares to companies run by entrepreneurs Fred Bart and Gary Kam, and to investment company Mulpha Australia Ltd.
Documents sent to Pan's creditors, whose approval is needed for the plan to proceed, say Mr Selim "warrants that . . . he will not acquire a relevant interest in the securities of any buyer [of his Pan shares]".
The disclosure came during closing submissions in Mr Selim's case against Pan liquidator Tony McGrath, relating to decisions made in his former role as administrator at a meeting of creditors on September 23 which rejected the revival plan.
Mr McGrath is under attack for admitting 357 pharmacists to vote while disallowing 417 consumers.
Mr Selim wants Justice Reg Barrett to order the revival plan to proceed or, failing that, to change the voting power and reconvene the meeting.
Arguments by Mr McGrath's counsel, John Sheahan, SC, that the claims of consumers and chemists were "radically different" were supported by the Pharmacy Guild of Australia and the largest single creditor, Mayne Group.
Mr Newlinds's charge that Mr McGrath had discriminated unfairly was supported by a group of trade creditors and the Australian Workers Union.
Adam Searle for the AWU added that Mr McGrath's decisions were unfair because they led to liquidation and therefore the retrenchment of 93 employees in the past fortnight.
Justice Barrett, who reserved his decision, should take into account "the human cost", Mr Searle said.

Joining the ranks of other famous athletes, actors and musicians, Cristiano Ronaldo received his own wax figure at Madame Tussauds in New York City on Tuesday (June 25).
The 28-year-old soccer player is known not only his athletic skills but also his dashing good looks on and off the field.
Relaxed after a tropical vacation, Cristiano Ronaldo shared a photo of himself and his girlfriend Irina Shayk on their private jet on Tuesday (June 25).
Captioned "enjoying the vacation," the snap shows the Real Madrid man dressed in red shorts and a white tank top while cuddling his leading lady.
Despite a rumored split, Cristiano Ronaldo and Irina Shayk stepped out together in New York City on Wednesday afternoon (June 18).
The on-again off-again couple walked together through the Big Apple as the 27-year-old model covered up her face, while showing off a fair share of midriff.
Soaking up the sun with his boys, Cristiano Ronaldo showed off his toned physique during his Miami, FL vacation on Friday (June 14).
The Real Madrid soccer star rocked a pair of bright yellow swim trunks while relaxing on a yacht with his buddies.
They're at the top of their game in their respective fields and on Tuesday night (May 28) Rihanna and Cristiano Ronaldo met up at her concert in Portugal.
A bit starstruck himself, the hunky soccer star posted a photo of the two backstage in Lisbon with the caption, "Yesterday at @rihanna's concert."
Checking out some of tennis's most talented players, Irina Shayk and Cristiano Ronaldo attended the Mutual Madrid Open tournament at the Caja Magica in Spain on Friday (May 10).
The 27-year-old model looked beautiful in a sleeveless long black dress as she shared a smooch with her soccer star beau while watching Rafael Nadal and David Ferrer face off on the courts.
Cheering on her handsome beau, Irina Shayk was on hand at Cristiano Ronaldo's home soccer game in Madrid, Spain on Saturday (April 20).
The 27-year-old Russian beauty happily chatted with pals in her prime seat while holding son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., on her lap.
Getting ready to ring in the new year, Cristiano Ronaldo and his girlfriend Irina Shayk arrived at Maderia Airport in Funchal on Monday (December 31).
Ever the gentleman, the soccer star managed the couple's bags as his model leading lady looked lovely in a sparkly blue shirt and a grey fur jacket to keep herself warm.

Live From the Wall Street Protests: "A Citizen With a Voice"
(Seth D. Michaels was on the scene at the Wall Street protests in New York City.)
As the rain set in late Monday, the protesters taking a stand in Lower Manhattan held their ground. For many of those who have come to this park, the issues they are angry about aren't abstract – they're deeply personal and real. Many of those present identify as "the 99 percent,"
and many bear signs indicating their difficulties in these economic times–highlighting unemployment or student loan debt.
Renae, a teacher, sees the protests as animated by the same issues that affect her and her family: the need for a voice in the political process, and the need for good jobs.
"Many of my family members have been laid off," Renae said. "Some of them have been out of work for two or three years. There are no jobs."
Renae, who teaches U.S. government, sees the protests as connected to her work. "Here I am telling these kids about government and democracy- am I not supposed to be a citizen with a voice?"
Layoffs and budget cuts across the public sector are an ever-present worry for young people like Renae. Cuts to much-needed services, even as corporations and the very wealthy pay remarkably low taxes, motivated her to get involved. "Teachers are bring cut left and right.
Programs are being cut left and right. They're closing schools. What's happening to the school system is part of this growing gap between the haves and the have nots."
Dana, a young woman from Williamsport, Pennsylvania, came up three days ago and is among those camping in the park. "There's so much anger everywhere," Dana said, "and I'm glad this is happening. I'm glad people are finally coming together to do something."
Dana was glad to see the emergence of this new protest movement around the idea of economic justice, but after three days in the park she's hoping the community develops a more concrete agenda for action.
We'll continue to watch these protests closely as we fight for good jobs and real democracy across the country.

Quote: Brown rice is simply white rice that has not had the bran covering the rice grains removed. Removing the bran is done so that the rice is fluffier and cooks faster. Since brown rice still has the bran intact, it is a much better source of fiber. In fact a cup of brown rice has 3.5 grams of fiber while white rice has less than one gram of fiber. We all need from 15 to 25 grams of fiber in our diet every day. Another benefit from eating brown rice is caused by the fiber slowing down the absorption of carbohydrates. This will help tame the blood-sugar roller coaster that can happen from a high sugar-low fiber meal. Fiber also has a healthy effect on our cholesterol levels and may help to reduce this risk of cardiovascular disease.Besides the fiber found in the brown rice, the bran contains nutrients like magnesium, manganese, and zinc. White rice has reduced levels of these nutrients, but is often fortified with iron, and some B vitamins.Cooking Brown Rice White rice is still the usual rice found in restaurants, so for now you will probably have to get most of your brown rice at home. Brown rice takes longer than white rice to cook, so increase the amount of water slightly. Brown rice doesn't have the fluffy texture of white rice, but the marvelous nutty flavor and chewy texture makes brown rice a tasty way to get fiber into your diet.

Citation Edit
Tdata, Inc. v. Aircraft Technical Publishers, 411 F.Supp.2d 901 (S.D. Ohio 2006) (full-texr).
Factual Background Edit
Plaintiff and defendant both sold software for managing aircraft maintenance and repair. Plaintiff filed this action to invalidate several patents owned by defendant. Defendant filed a separate suit against plaintiff for trademark infringement and unfair competition, which was consolidated into this action. Defendant owned the marks ATP, ATP NAVIGATOR, and ATP MAINTENANCE DIRECTOR, and alleged that plaintiff improperly used these marks in metatags and "title tags" to draw potential customers of defendant to plaintiff's websites.
Trial Court Proceedings Edit
Both parties moved for summary judgment on the trademark infringement and unfair competition claims. Defendant relied in part on the initial-interest confusion doctrine, while plaintiff argued that the Sixth Circuit did not adopt this doctrine and instead relies on the traditional multi-factor likelihood-of-confusion test.
The court held that the multi-factor test should be applied, but also held that the initial-interest confusion doctrine can be a substitute for evidence of actual confusion in the multifactor test. Applying the multi-factor test, the court held a likelihood of confusion existed and granted defendant's motion for summary judgment because: defendant's ATP mark was a valid, incontestable mark with some distinctiveness; the parties were direct competitors on some products; plaintiff's use of "ATP" in its metatags was indistinguishable from defendant's ATP mark; both parties marketed their goods on the Internet; although consumers of the parties' products were relatively sophisticated and exercised a commensurate degree of care, this factor ultimately had minimal significance because the parties' marks were identical and even a sophisticated buyer can incorrectly presume company affiliations where none exist; and plaintiff's use of the ATP mark in metatags hidden from public view instead of on its website in a product-comparison chart led to an inference of an intent to confuse.
The court rejected plaintiff's affirmative defenses. First, plaintiff's unclean hands defense had no merit because plaintiff failed to show how defendant's alleged failure to mark its products for patent purposes served as a defense to trademark infringement. Second, plaintiff's fair use and nominative use defenses failed because its use of the ATP mark as a metatag did not "simply and fairly" refer to defendant's products in a descriptive sense, but rather was made "in a bad faith, bait-and-switch, create-initial-confusion sense." Finally, plaintiff asserted a laches defense because plaintiff first used the ATP mark as a metatag in 1998 but defendant did not file this suit until six years later. Plaintiff, however, failed to establish that defendant knew of its claims in 1998 or that defendant failed to assert them in a timely manner.

Doc Severinsen returns with the BPO
What's that sparkle in the air? It can mean only one thing: Doc Severinsen, former bandleader of "The Tonight Show" and former principal pops conductor of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, is in town. Severinsen is going to be appearing twice with the orchestra in a concert called "Solid Gold Doc."
He is also bringing his big band, a new experience for Buffalo. Every review of their recent tour gives the impression that they are raising the roof. At 86, Doc Severinsen has as much energy as ever. And at least as much fight. Last week, he spoke out vehemently against the controversial book on Johnny Carson written by attorney Henry Bushkin. Even on stage, when Severinsen is all charm, he pulls no punches.
Besides his band, Severinsen is bringing two singers, Vanessa Thomas and Steve Lippia (who has charmed audiences at the BPO before with a Frank Sinatra tribute). The concert takes place at 10:30 a.m. Friday and 8 p.m. Saturday in Kleinhans Music Hall. Tickets are $32-$79. Call 885-5000.

After all that, the paternity suit against Justin Bieber has quietly been dropped.
Mariah Yeater's lawyers, Lance Rogers and Matt Pare, have withdrawn from the case, reports TMZ, and the suit has been dismissed.
Yeater, 20, who gave birth to son Tristyn four months ago, told The Insider last week that she waited so long to come forward because she was scared. "I still am... I'm scared. I was very hesitant. This is a very serious matter [and] it had to be brought to his attention. To everyone's."
Bieber has denied the allegations from the start.
Yeater withdrew her San Diego court paperwork last week not because she's dropping her claim about Bieber as her baby's father, but because she fears for her life and hopes to settle the dispute confidentially, lawyer Jeffery Leving told New York's Daily News today.
"In light of death threats directed toward my client, strategies have been reviewed. The San Diego case has been withdrawn, and we're trying to settle out of court with Bieber's counsel. We're working out a DNA test confidentially," , a Chicago-based Leving told the News.
"I did not resign. I still believe my client," he said, adding that Yeater's San Diego lawyers have been replaced by John Carlson from the Los Angeles firm Carlson & Greenberg.

(11/13/2012) Mayor John DeStefano Jr. has appointed Althea Marshall Brooks to serve as Community Services Administrator, filling the vacancy left by Dr. Chisara Asomugha, currently the Senior Advisor and Medical Officer at the Center for Clinical Standards & Quality in the Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services. As Community Services Administrator, Marshall Brooks will be responsible for coordinating City departments and initiatives that directly impact the social well-being and physical health of New Haven residents, including the Health, Youth, Vital Statistics and Elderly Services departments. As CSA, Marshall Brooks will also oversee services to the homeless and re-entry populations, substance abuse and teen pregnancy prevention, State-Administered General Assistance programs as well as the New Haven Resident Card.
�I am excited about the opportunity to work with some of the departments that are integral to and responsible for impacting the quality of life of New Haven residents. I look forward to actively engaging and working with local and state leadership, community stakeholders and residents around issues such as access to health care/services, community wellness, employment, resident reintegration, youth empowerment and asset building,� said Marshall Brooks.
�I worked with Althea Marshall Brooks in her role at Empower and with the City�s Re-Entry Initiative. I am confident she will be terrific as Community Services Administrator,� said Mayor John DeStefano Jr.
Prior to her appointment, Marshall Brooks served as the City�s Re-Entry Initiative Coordinator, where she was responsible for initiating, developing and implementing policies and practices to address the needs of those returning from incarceration. In that role, Marshall Brooks represented the City in collaborative partnerships with state, federal and local non-profits to improve service delivery and supports for the re-entry population. Marshall Brooks was also responsible for coordinating and implementing the City�s Values Based Initiative. Funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, the Values Based Initiative is an effort to create a crisis prevention network of community stakeholders, faith-based communities and police to address issues related to youth gun violence and domestic violence.
Prior to her entry into City government, Marshall Brooks served as the President/CEO of Empower New Haven, the implementing agency for the Federal Round II Empowerment Zone Initiative. In that capacity, Marshall Brooks was responsible for overseeing $30 million in public and private funding directed at job creation, workforce development, quality of life, homeownership, public safety, youth and education.
Marshall Brooks serves on numerous boards and committees and serves as adjunct faculty at Gateway Community College.

All property was light industrial, abuts residential on two sides, and now works 24 hrs a day. the old concrete business was told to leave as it didn't fit light industrial because of the trucks & doing business outdoors. Grocery warehouse is a hub that receives trucks, unloads them, than reloads new trucks for deliveries. used to work 7am to 3:30 pm now all property's work 24 hours a day week-ends & holidays.
This is a local ordinance issue. Go to your city offices and talk to the zoning commission. They should be able to provide all explanations.Ask a similar question
I agree with Ms. Smith. First try to work with the City. If that doe snot work, hire counsel to help you identify and enforce your rights. Do not delay as the passage of time will negatively affect your rights.Ask a similar question
As recommended above you should discuss this with your local planning/development department. If you do not get a satisfactory response there consider hiring a local land-use attorney to review the situation for compliance with local zoning code, and determine if there is a claim that can be brought to enforce any rights you may have.Ask a similar question
I recommend that you speak to a local Idaho attorney who has experience with land use and zoning issues. Under certain limited circumstances a non-conforming use can be " grandfathered" in but the pre-existing use cannot be enlarged. The ordinances should define "light industrial". It is possible that the city changed the zoning designation or granted a variance to the grocery warehouse. The city website should provide a link to the local ordinances as well as a zoning map.
This answer is provided as a mere courtesy and is not intended to provide legal advise but rather a general roadmap which may assist in deterring whether or not to seek legal advise from a law office in your locale..

This memo is an overview of the review process of a new drug application (including the original NDA BN070012, original Master Files DMF2 IND#-------, and the related twenty two Amendments) for 6% HES 130/0.4 in 0.9% sodium chloride infusion (Voluven®).
Review responsibilities for this NDA were as follows:
Pre-Clinical Toxicology: Paul Buehler, Ph.D.
Pre-Clinical Pharmacology: Iftekhar Mahmood, Ph.D.
Clinical Pharmacology and Clinical Data: Laurence Landow, M.D.
Statistical Analysis of Clinical Data: Tie-Hua Ng, Ph.D.
Proprietary Name and Labeling: Nancy Chamberlin, Pharm.D.
Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC): Yiping Jia, Ph.D., and Elena Karnaukhova, Ph.D. (chair)
Establishment Inspection: Ms. Janie Russell.
Regulatory Project Manager: Mr. Franklin Stephenson
HES 130/0.4 is a white to yellowish white, odorless and tasteless, amorphous powder, soluble in water in every concentration, soluble in DMSO, and practically insoluble in most organic solvents.
Voluven® is a clear 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES 130/0.4) solution in isotonic sodium chloride solution for intravenous infusion for the "Therapy and prophylaxis of hypovolaemia". The product is supplied in freeflex® bags made from co-extruded polyolefines of --------------------- and ship-shape ports. The nominal fill volume is 500 mL with filling limits of ------- mL.
Voluven® contains HES 130/0.4 in a colloidal solution which expands plasma volume when administered intravenously. The effect of the HES contained in Voluven® on intravascular volume expansion and hemodilution is a function of the mean molecular weight (130,000 daltons; range 110,000 - 150,000 daltons), the molar substitution by hydroxyethyl groups (0.42; range 0.38 - 0.45) on glucose units of the starch, the pattern of hydroxyethyl substitution (C2/C6 ratio) of approximately 9:1, and the concentration (6%), as well as the dose and infusion rate.
The starting material for HES 130/0.4 is a thin boiling waxy corn starch, a polymeric glucose derivative (amilopectine) that mainly consists of α-1,4-connected glucose units with several α-1,6-branches, also containing a small amount of amylase. Hydroxyls at the 2, 3 and 6 positions of glucose are subject to partial derivatization to hydroxyethyl groups (see Attachments 1 and 2).
The post-approval stability protocol and stability study will be performed according to -------------------------- ---------------------- primary packaging material (see Attachment 2). The monitoring parameters are Appearance: white to yellowish white powder; -------------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------------------- ------------------- Mw: 110,000 - 150,000 Dalton; M at --- --------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------; --------------------; Molar substitution: 0.38 - 0.45; C2/C6 ratio: ------ ------- -------------------------------- ------------------- -------- ----------------------------------------------------------
Total -- batches of Voluven 6% drug product in the freeflex® container have been produced at Fresenius Kabi Norge AS (FK Norway). The ongoing stability studies will be continued up to a storage period of ----------------------. The results of all stability studies demonstrate that Voluven 6% is stable during the tested period, independent of whether the product was manufactured at the facilities in Norway or in Germany. Stability data will be reported annually (21 CFR 314.81).
Adventitious agents safety evaluations
None of the raw materials used in the manufacturing of Voluven® is of ruminant origin as defined in section 2 of the CPMP-Guideline (CPMP/BWP/1230/98. No ruminant-derived materials from BSE countries as defined by the US Department of Agriculture (9CFR 94.11) are used.
The proposed labeling was subject to multiple significant changes by the members of the review committee and by the sponsor. All reviewers agreed on the final version of the labeling.
Post-marketing commitments
There are two post-marketing commitments agreed to for clinical studies related to efficacy and safety of Voluven® as follows:
- Completion of a multiple-dose, randomized, controlled trial (RCT) to be conducted in subjects with severe sepsis with or without renal dysfunction (see Attachment 6), and
According to the recommendation of the Pediatric Review Committee, the sponsor will conduct a clinical study of the efficacy and safety of 6% HES 130/0.4 vs. 5% HSA in volume substitution therapy during open heart surgery in 2 to 12 year old pediatric patients (see Attachment 10).
During the review process, there were several information requests and several telecons regarding CMC and clinical issues. The firm's responses were provided in twenty two Amendments to the referenced submission. The responses were found to be generally acceptable for the fore-mentioned post-marketing commitments.
Recommendation for approval of NDA BN07012 with the post-marketing commitments reflects the individual recommendations of all members of the review committee as evident from the following authorized review memos:
Attachment 1: Manufacturing Process and Controls (Yiping Jia)
Attachment 2: Analytical Procedures (Elena Karnaukhova)
Attachment 3: Establishment (Janie Russell)
Attachment 4: Pre-Clinical Toxicology (Paul Buehler)
Attachment 5: Pre-Clinical Pharmacology (Iftekhar Mahmood)
Attachment 6: Clinical Pharmacology/Data (Laurence Landow)
Attachment 7: Statistical Analysis (Tie-Hua Ng)
Attachments 8&9: Proprietary Name and Labeling (Nancy Chamberlin)
Based on a multidisciplinary review of NDA BN070012 and the individual conclusions of all members of the review committee, 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 in 0.9% sodium chloride infusion (Voluven®) can be approved with two post marketing commitments.

With the Samsung Ch@t 222 GT-E2222, it might not necessarily look any different from previous Ch@t branded devices we've scoped out in the past, but this latest model is indeed packing something useful under the hood that separates it from previous incarnations.
Specifically, the Samsung Ch@t 222 is a dual-SIM equipped messaging oriented phone – meaning, you can pop in two different SIMs inside of it simultaneously. Obviously, it's especially useful for those individuals who don't want to carry around two separate phones. Not a powerhouse by any means, the Ch@t 222 features a 2.2" display with a paltry resolution of 222 x 176, VGA camera, video recording, portrait style QWERTY keyboard, DNSe sound, FM radio, microSD card slot, 12 hours of talk time, and a 1,000 mAh battery.
If you don't want to be bothered with the complexities of a BlackBerry smartphone, then the Samsung Ch@t 222 is a reasonable solution that emulates the classic BlackBerry form. It's expected for Samsung to officially introduce it very soon, but as of right now, there is no word regarding availability and pricing – though, we'd imagine this one to be affordably priced.

By Aaron Beard, AP Sports Writer
GREENVILLE, N.C. Skip Holtz doesn't know if his East Carolina Pirates can avoid the pitfall of thinking more about what it has already accomplished than what lies ahead.
The Pirates are ranked 14th nationally - their first appearance in the Top 25 since 1999 - after out-Beamering Virginia Tech and handling West Virginia with surprising ease to start the season.
But Holtz has seen his Pirates beat BCS-conference schools before, play tough in moral-victory losses against ranked opponents and get walloped in others.
The coach, who remembers watching his ECU players cry while watching film of a gut-wrenching loss two years ago against Rice, will soon find out how the Pirates handle the kind of success that lands here about once a decade.
ECU opens Conference USA play Saturday at Tulane.
"As I told the team, we didn't become bowl-eligible because we're ranked," Holtz said Monday, two days after the 24-3 win against the then-No. 8 Mountaineers. "We don't have a conference win to this point. We're two games into a 12-game schedule.
"All these rankings and bowl predictions and everything else, it's great because it creates a buzz, a stirring and an excitement in the program. But as I told them, the last two teams we played both had ranks next to their name, we didn't and we're 2-0. It doesn't mean anything to this point."
That said, Holtz can get past the coachspeak enough to acknowledge that this is a moment to savor. The Pirates are coming off their first win against a top-10 team since a 27-23 win against No. 9 Miami in September 1999 in a game played 90 miles west in Raleigh because of flooding from Hurricane Floyd. This is East Carolina's highest ranking since the Jeff Blake-led team in 1991 finished ninth.
The formula around Greenville has been simple: a workmanlike approach on the field while fiercely loyal fans hold a we-don't-get-respect attitude compared to glitzier Atlantic Coast Conference programs that dot the region. It's created an oft-overlooked but proud program that revels in any chance to stick it to the big boys, which has included wins against ACC teams North Carolina, North Carolina State, Duke and Virginia under Holtz.
But the past two games have been unlike anything the Pirates have seen.
Playing a tough nonconference schedule to build its national standing, the Pirates beat Frank Beamer's then-No. 17 Hokies 27-22 by returning a blocked punt for the winning touchdown with 1:52 left. Then came a dominating defensive performance against West Virginia in a win that had fans rushing the field as time expired.
Contrast that with the state of the program Holtz inherited in 2005. The Pirates had lost 22 of 25 games, with 19 losses coming by double-digit margins and seven by at least 33 points. Considering that journey, the Pirates can't afford to take a step back as they enter a league slate in which they'll likely be favored to win just about every game.
"We didn't talk (in 2005) about, 'You have to win.' We said, 'Let's gain some respect first,"' said defensive coordinator Greg Hudson, who has been here with Holtz since his arrival. "It's been a four-year process. We go over it weekly, every unit meeting defensively and offensively. One of the worst things you can do in football is lose respect, so once you have some equity, you're pretty stupid to blow it."
They won't have to look far for lessons. While the Pirates beat Boise State in the Hawaii Bowl in their second straight postseason appearance last year, they've blown chances to reach the C-USA championship game in each of the past two seasons with late-season road losses.
Several players were left in tears following in 2006 after the Rice game. ECU led Rice 17-9 only to give up a touchdown with 2:37 left, go three-and-out on the next possession and allow a 40-yard pass on fourth down to set up the winning field goal with 3 seconds to play in an 18-17 loss. Last year, lost 26-7 to a Marshall team that went 3-9; a win would have allowed the Pirates to host the league title game.
Holtz hopes the past three-plus seasons have prepared his team for what awaits in the coming weeks.
"Four years ago, when I wrote (goals) up on the board, even I said to myself, 'All right, we ain't achieving that one, that one or that one. Maybe we can get this one,"' Holtz said. "I think there have been little bits and pieces that have helped us get over the hump. Overall, I think we've been building four years to get to this point."

note liz The future is threaded.
 Maybe on a hardware level. But on a software level, I would say:
Threads Are Primitive And Should Die!

 Why would you need to use threads? To do things in parallel? Why not let the computer figure that out for most cases (generally any action on more than one element without side effects).
 This is probably a broken analogy, but I see threads as wheels on a car. Do you have turn each frontwheel seperately? No, you have something like a steering wheel or a joystick. Do you have to think about the fact that, when turning left, the left wheel has to turn a little more than the right wheel? No. The car does that for you.
 I think the focus on threads (and fork) is what is so past century. We need new ways to think about using computer systems that are no longer capable of only doing one thing at the time. And rid ourselves of engrained thought patterns.
 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_transactional_memory|Software transactional memory] is such a way, and it is already available in [http://pugscode.org|Pugs] already supports it.
 Combined with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuation|Continuations], which are already supported by [http://parrotcode.org|Parrot], this is a very powerful base for language definition and implementation.
 Personally, I welcome the lack of a threads.ppd. Ever really tried to program more than trivially threaded programs in Perl or C? Or tried to debug them? Get all of the locking right? Eridicate all possible race conditions and dead locks? For me, it is the nearest thing to hell for a programmer I can imagine. That's why I heartily support the death of threads in HLL's!

Minor in Recording and Production for Musicians
This minor represents an opportunity for students enrolled in any non-MP&E major to develop and refine their skills in recording, mixing, and music production. The minor focuses on both technical and aesthetic considerations of multitrack recording, mixing and music production with an emphasis on the digital audio workstation (DAW) and the project studio environment.
Given ongoing developments in technology and in the music industry, it has become increasingly important for all musicians to become facile with the tools, techniques, and aesthetic sensibilities involved in both recording and production. The Recording and Production for Musicians minor gives all students that opportunity.
Upon completion of a minor in recording and production for musicians, students will:
- Critically evaluate audio program material and make technical and aesthetic decisions based upon those observations;
- Gain knowledge and experience sufficient to effectively multitrack record, overdub, edit, and mix both live and electronically produced sources;
- Shepherd a creative project from idea inception to final delivery, with emphasis on aesthetic and emotional impact; and
- Understand digital audio systems, and an ability to apply appropriate tools to the creative task at hand.
