Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I filed as Les pendent mum-ant of title and i had hired a lawyer only to help with setting the court date to get the letters of testamentary . So after i was handed the letters i proceeded to a find all of the assets of the estate and filed for ens tax number for the estate.. (OK in not blood related to the loved one who has passed and surprised me with this seemingly small task that turned into a nightmare thats got me 15k out of pocket and playing phone tag with a lawyer who is only there to take payment it seems..Ive done everything to the judges order and the will of testament .. Now a long lost sibling sister of the deceased has come out of the hills to claim what she says is hers.. That sister also switched the houses titles into her name 2 weeks after the death of deceased.Self provingi filed pro se.. O yeah i looked at the deeds to the houses it was switched on 05 04 12 the will was filed on 04 08 12 also ...it was on public display during the time the switch ... was this illegal for the sisters to switch the deeds to there names knowing there was will in probate ... texas law isnt there a time waiting period for the deeds of a deceased persons assets to be switched to a different name ..
Muniment of Title does not get you letters testamentary, and from what you describe, I can't tell where you are in the process and what needs to be done. If the lawyer is not available after paying $15000, then find another lawyer. You need a lawyer's guidance.

Attorney Pyke is correct. It is very difficult to tell where you are in the process, but as you can tell, it is a maze. You need a solid probate lawyer at your side to guide you through. Good luck to you.

My youngest son brought his nunchucks and would work his nunchucks like Michelangelo with the stunt guys.
Michelangelo would later claim that his teacher, Ghirlandaio, taught him nothing.
Michelangelo tricked his patron about the David, but sometimes he was forcibly reminded who paid the bills.
Vasari was a painter, architect, and friend of Michelangelo.
But the flaws and peccadilloes of Renaissance artists like Michelangelo pale beside the misdeeds of patrons and pontiffs.
Michelangelo, one of the very chief artists of the Renaissance period, we cannot now doubt, was sexually inverted.
There they were like Michelangelo and Raphael, if they were like them in nothing else.
Like Michelangelo's Victory, it has set its knee on the captive's back, and seems ready to despatch him.
In Florence, too, he acknowledged the spell of Michelangelo and Leonardo.
But Michelangelo was true to Nature, and the severest criticism ever brought against him is that he is absolutely loyal to truth.
An Italian painter, sculptor, and architect of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Among many achievements in a life of nearly ninety years, Michelangelo sculpted the David and several versions of the Pietà, painted the ceiling and rear wall of the Sistine Chapel, and served as one of the architects of Saint Peter's Basilica, designing its famous dome. He is considered one of the greatest artists of all time.

Carrie Surfing Into A Theater Near You
Who says you can't have it all? Not Carrie Underwood. Not only does she have a new hubby, a Golden Globe nomination (the awards are this Sunday!), another Grammy nomination, she can now, naturally, add actress to her resume'. Underwood will appear alongside AnnaSophia Robb, Helen Hunt, and Dennis Quaid in Soul Surfer, the true story of teen surfer Bethany Hamilton who lost her left arm after a tiger shark attack. Although Underwood is said to only have a cameo in the film, you'll see in the first teaser trailer, which by the way, doesn't contain dialogue, she'll pop up more than once. Have a look-see!

Slump dooms Charleroi
Charleroi's Class AA preliminary round defeat to Bishop Canevin featured several runs.
Down 3-0, the Crusaders went on a 10-0 run minutes into the contest.
The Cougars countered with 10-2 run later in the opening quarter to take a 13-12 lead.
Not to be outdone, Bishop Canevin went on a 13-2 run that overlapped the end of the first quarter into the second to take a 25-15 advantage.
Charleroi (14-7) was able to cut its deficit to 31-26 at the half, but the Crusaders went on what the deciding run in the third quarter, outscoring Charleroi 16-6 in the frame and holding on to win, 59-52.
"The game was a run of spurts and theirs was a little longer than ours," Charleroi coach Bill Wiltz said. "We got into a slump in the third quarter and couldn't recover. But the kids tried to recover and never quit."
How much of a factor was Bishop Canevin's 2-3 zone?
"We had seen them on four films and they were in that each time so we expected it," Wiltz said. "They packed it in and we had to hit some shots and we did that early, but we missed them later."
Down 49-32 early in the fourth quarter, the Cougars went on a furious rally to cut the deficit to seven before running out of time.
"When we were down, it was a big hill to climb," he said.
The run was sparked by a three-pointer from injured senior Jim Diaz.
The shot keyed a 14-4 run for Charleroi, but the Cougars were not able to get any closer than seven points the rest of the way.
Matt Indorante led Charleroi with 16 points while Eric Johnson scored 13 and Diaz, who played on a badly sprained ankle, added 10.
Mike Tambellini led Bishop Canevin with 19 points, while Jake Seliman added 17.
The Cougars only have two seniors in Diaz and Sheldon Linneman, and Wiltz said he will miss them but is excited about the future of his program.
"I can't say enough about them," Wiltz said. "They work hard and are great kids that I would take home with me.
"But we have a bright future. We think we're going to be extremely good next year if we get a good offseason in. if we do that, we'll be tough to beat next year."
The Crusaders (11-12) move on to face top-seeded Beaver Falls in the first round.

"Eat your vegetables, girly man!"
Yesterday was the last day of a weeklong gathering of vegan muscleheads in Portland, Ore. (I say "muscleheads" with love in my heart—one of my brothers has been competing for years. Sadly, though, he's nowhere close to being vegan. And he's not nearly as lean as guys like Alexander Dargatz.)
What started out as a meeting of Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness forum members turned into a full-fledged conference not unlike a veg food or AR gathering, with cooking classes and a visit to an animal sanctuary, and—most definitely unlike a food fest or an AR event—lots of working out.
Organizer and Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness owner Robert Cheeke would like to see it turn into a yearly occurrence and in turn hopes vegan bodybuilders will become more visible. Me too. The more frequently guys like this and Scott Jurek get noticed, the harder it will be for meat eaters to make their bogus claims that vegans can't be healthy or thrive.

Hey :) I've been bodybuilding for almost 2 years now and I love it!! I decided to go vegan because I wanted to be healthier and plus my 4 year old is anti-chicken, steak, etc.. (tuna and eggs,ok) I'm so new to this new way of eating and super scared of losing muscle. How do vegans lean out for a show compared to the meat-loving builders?
Anyways, thank you soo much for an awesome site that I can look to. I'm the only one that I know of in Hawaii attempting this. (EEP!)

Chevrolet Repair Questions? Ask a Chevy Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello and welcome to justanswer.
First thing you will want to do is to make sure the ambient light sensor in the center of the dash (on top) is not covered or obstructed. Then make sure the sensor is in place, you should see a small plastic dome shaped sensor. If you do not see it, then it has fallen into the dash. Let me know what you find there and then we can continue with diagnosis.
Thanks Dave,
No sign of an ambient light sensor on top of the dash and there is no hole for it. Should it come up through the vent near the windshield, or where should it be? I think the problem may have started after I cleaned the windshield and dash board with a towel, so it's possible I've pushed something out of place, but I can't see what or where.
The ambient light sensor is located up in the center of the defrost grille area.
The upper dash panel has to be removed to service this sensor.
Remove the end covers and 2 phllips screws on each end of the dash.
Remove the passenger side dash vents by prying them out of the dash. Use a flatbladed screwdriver with the tip wrapped in tape to keep from scratching the dash. Remove the screws behind each vent, then reach through the vent opening and depress the retainer tabs that hold the grab handle into the dash. Pull back on the handle while pressing the release tabs.
Shift the shifter all the way to Low 1 range and remove the gauge cluster bezel by pulling straight back. Then remove the screws around the perimeter behind the bezel.
Then the upper dash panel can be lifted and pulled straight back. Reach underneath to access the ambient light sensor. It fits into the hole in the dash and secures with a 1/4 turn.
Thanks, XXXXX XXXXX makes it clear where the sensors are. I was looking for one central sensor with clear plastic and was confused by the two black plastic domes which I thought were clips or spigots holding the grille in position. I confirm that both the ambient light sensor and sun load sensor are in position and not covered up. So what's next?
You will need to test voltage output from the ambient light sensor. If you have a scan tool like the dealers, you can read the voltage from the scan tool. Since you do not, read the voltage at the BCM connector. You will leave everything plugged in, just use the voltmeter probes to insert into the back side of the BCM connector to read voltage. The BCM is located under the drivers side of the dash, remove the panel under the steering column for access.
Measure voltage at the purple connector, pin A4 gray wire, and pin A6 white wire as shown in the diagram below. With the key on and daylight hitting the sensor, you should have below 1.3 volts. Cover the sensor and you should have above 2.2 volts. If these readings are incorrect, replace the ambient light sensor. If the readings are correct, replace the BCM.
Thanks, I'll let you know what I find after checking the voltage later today.

A FOOTBALL scout hired a bouncy castle for a children's party - then later pawned it to get money.
Anthony O'Kelly, aged 32, of Glynwood Park, Farnworth, pleaded guilty to theft of a purple bouncy castle valued at £500 and fraud by pawning it.
He was sentenced to an eight-week curfew from 11pm to 7am and ordered to pay £100 compensation with £85 costs plus a £60 victim surcharge by Blackpool magistrates.
Prosecutor Pam Smith said on July 15 the bouncy castle O'Kelly had hired for a children's party was delivered to his then home in Warton.
When the owner came to collect it on July 19 O'Kelly told him it had been stolen from his garden.
In September the owner of the bouncy castle was looking on eBay when he saw his castle being offered for sale by the Cash Generators shop in Blackpool.
O'Kelly, who used to live in Lytham Road, Warton, told the court the bouncy castle had been stolen from his garden, but he retrieved it some days later from a group of children.
He said he then rang the owner, but he did not seem keen on collecting it, so O'Kelly put the castle in his garage.
A couple of months later he was short of cash and he pawned it for a buy-back loan of £100 at Blackpool.

UPDATE: A lot has happened to this weblog since I wrote the introduction below. I believe my objectives for keeping the weblog have shifted significantly over the years. My most immediate concern is of building my business. I am not sure about the long term objectives. So, I decided to keep the introduction for the time being, although it is outdated.
From my first contact with arts, science, technology and marketing I was always fascinated by moving beyond the conventional into those areas where knowledge meets belief and facts become phantasies.
Why do I never think of those obvious, simple ideas that make other people rich? What makes the unconventional seem so powerful? What makes people think outside the box?
This forum is for discussing these questions. The age of information will be greatly influenced by the gap opening between those who stay inside the established borders of what we perceive and those who push the limits of their imagination.
And so, this forum also becomes a test case. How far can this technology push the limits? How far can we push the technology?
Every now and then we might be lucky to meet someone or find a book or experience something that makes us extend our horizon. I¥d like to hear about yours and collect them here for others to benefit.
It is a great journey, I am really excited about where it might lead.

Toxic cleanup aims to restore Hudson River
06/01/09 7:30AM David Chanatry
| Download MP3
(Host) Four-hundred years after Henry Hudson sailed up the river that bears his name, one of the biggest toxic waste cleanups has just begun in an attempt to restore the Hudson to health.
Environmentalists fought more than 30 years for the cleanup, but not everyone's on board. As part of a collaboration with Northeast public radio stations, David Chanatry reports:
On a sunny spring day, government officials, environmental activists and local
residents stood along the banks of the Hudson celebrating a moment many thought would never come.
George Pavlou of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency told the crowd the
day marked the next chapter of the Hudson's history.
(Pavlou) "Today the healing of the Hudson River begins."
(Chanatry) Manna Jo Greene is standing on the river's edge, watching the dredges that hoisted the first loads of toxic muck from the bottom. Greene is with Clearwater, a group that pushed for decades for the cleanup.
(Greene) "We are jubilant! It was the little engine that could, it was David versus Goliath."
Visit The Northeast Environmental Reporting Hub Main Page
(Chanatry) Goliath in this case is General Electric. Over the course of 30
years GE -legally-discharged more than a million pounds of PCB's, or
polychlorinated biphenyls, into the river. But in the 1970s the government
classified the chemicals as probable carcinogens and banned them. By 1984 it
declared the river a 200 mile long Superfund site.
(Behan) "We have made a very public commitment to do this project."
(Chanatry) That's GE spokesman Mark Behan. General Electric is running the project, and paying the bills, estimated to cost nearly 800 million dollars.
(Behan) "We have assembled a world class team of environmental engineers, dredging experts and others to ensure the project is done as effectively and safely as possible."
This cleanup is complex. GE will use a dozen dredges, 18 tugboats and 35 barges
to scour the PCB's from hotspots in a five mile stretch of the upper river.
It'll separate the water from the contaminated mud at a facility it built
nearby, seal it up in railroad cars and ship two trains a week to a toxic waste
site in Texas.
In some ways they've got this down, but the EPA's Walter Mugdan says it's not easy to work underwater.
(Mugdan) "It's difficult to deal with contaminated sediment in any aquatic environment because dredging is inherently a potentially a messy process. so you have to make sure the cure is not worse than the disease."
(Chanatry) In other words dredging could stir up the PCB-laden sediment that was once buried.
(Havens) "It really makes me sad."
(Chanatry) Tim Havens runs a tractor supply business in Hudson Falls. He's led the fight against dredging and has been one of the EPA's most vocal opponents. He's watching the start of the dredging from an island in the river where he can get clear view.
(Havens) "Now due to the fact they've stopped industrial dumping the river is coming back. Mother Nature takes care of itself. What we're doing here is we're going to set this whole thing back a lot of years."
(Chanatry) Havens thinks the project will just re-suspend the chemicals in the water. But the EPA's Mugdan says his agency will monitor for exactly that. He says the cleanup will pay dividends outside the Hudson Valley as well.
(Mugdan) "The experience we gain on a project like this one is going to be invaluable as we look to the many, many other places around our country where aquatic waterways and particularly urban waterways are so heavily contaminated."
(Chanatry) Those PCB cleanup sites include the Housatonic River which runs through Massachusetts and Connecticut and New Bedford harbor.
General Electric has dozens of active sites on the Superfund list. Vermont Law professor Pat Parenteau points out many polluters have gone bankrupt, but GE is still thriving.
(Parenteau) "Unfortunately for GE, its very success has meant that it remains on the hook for a very substantial part of this industrial pollution legacy."
(Chanatry) Parenteau says GE is looking for some financial relief by challenging the Superfund law in federal court.
As for the Hudson cleanup, both EPA and GE consider this year's dredging to be a test, and company has not yet agreed to clean the rest of the river. The EPA says it will finish the job if it has to, and send GE the bill.

My main issue is with texture and the pinholes the laser has left behind . It is very hard to ever capture on camera because the scarring is micro and covers my whole face . What depth peel would be needed to correct this problem ? Or should I think about skin needling or dermal rolling to produce collegen to hopefully fill in the tiny track marks .

In future use TCA peels
I am not a laser fan. Laser is a more expensive way to correct sun damage and keratosis on the facial and body skin. I think a TCA peel is an inexpensive simple office procedure that works better than any laser and at a remarkably less cost. Go for the TCA al the eay in the future. You will be pleased.

TCA may be a reasonable option in your situation but an exam will be useful.

Maybe but over the internet very hard to advise... Please seek IN PERSON opinions as to treatment options. I am using a newer product for smoothing cellulite than also works on "rough" textured skin.. Early results impressive..

Charter Hall purchased the 46,000-square metre distribution centre project from Woolworths, which will develop it, with completion expected next year.
Charter Hall's strategy is to grow its funds by as much as $900 million in real estate.
The growth will be fuelled partly through a series of equity raisings now in progress, as well as debt.
The Tasmanian deal follows success in raising $75 million for the industrial fund.
Joint managing director
Charter Hall is putting its equity raisings straight to work. Last week its flagship office fund bought out its co-owner in a Melbourne office tower, after raising $100 million for that fund.
Mr Harrison hopes to raise twice that amount, giving the office fund $400 million in firepower.
And an initial $30 million raising for the new Direct Industrial Fund is on track. That fund aims to raise $110 million in equity, to purchase $200 million in industrial facilities.
Later this year Charter Hall plans to restructure its core retail fund, with a $100 million offer to mum and dad investors, enabling some existing wholesale investors to redeem their investment.
"Obviously we're pretty active at the moment," Mr Harrison said.

- Snape seems to hate "Potter's Gang" irrationally, even if Harry reminds him of how he lost Lily. "Potter's Gang" is comprised of four people: Harry, Ronnie, Neville and Hermione. The Marauders, who often bullied Snape, were four: James, Sirius, Peter and Lupin, and their leader, James, went on to marry Lily. Of course the parallels would be brought even closer for him.
- It goes further than that, since each member of Potter's Gang is similar, on a superficial level, to one of the Marauders despite two being girls (and despite Snape not looking past these traits due to his bitterness) - Harry is like James, Ronnie is rather like Sirius in being his best mate, Hermione is bookish and sensitive like Remus, and Neville is a lot like Peter (if braver within and far less likely to turn traitor as a result). Hagrid is actually alluding to this very fact when he brings up the Marauders, and how badly they interacted with Snape.
- Also, Ronnie, who spends a lot of time with Harry even if they aren't like that is a spunky but compassionate red-headed girl. Just like Lily

Over the course of its long history, McGill has quietly put together one of the largest and most eclectic collections of artwork in Montreal, ranging from course-based sketches and watercolours by generations of architecture students, to seminal works by members of the fabled Group of Seven. The University boasts an overall collection of about 1,800 works, dozens of which are on public display.
While McGill regularly commemorates the contributions of each principal, chancellor and board of governors' chair with a commissioned portrait, "we haven't been able to secure a significant budget for the acquisition of other forms of art," says David Covo, BSc(Arch)'71, BArch'74, an associate professor of architecture and the chair of McGill's visual arts committee. "And yet, the University has managed over time to put together a very impressive collection."
Most of the works in McGill's collection have been the product of generous and often unexpected donations. In more recent years, a Quebec government program promoting public art has augmented the collection by sponsoring the creation of new works to enrich the public spaces of buildings constructed with government support. Ondes, Marie-France Brière's black marble rendering of a sound wave that sits outside the New Music Building on Sherbrooke Street, is one of the works acquired by McGill in this manner.
Covo is fond of the 80 or so sculptures in McGill's collection. Some of these pieces have become beloved campus icons. "There is always something going on around the James McGill statue," notes Covo, whether it's red balloons being attached to his wrist to mark Valentine's Day, or newly minted graduates lining up to have their photos taken with the University's founder during convocation.
Not every piece is uniformly admired. Covo has heard his share of criticisms about several works—one colleague offered to blow up a particular piece that irked him. Strong reactions to the works don't faze Covo. "That's the nature of art. I'm more concerned when a new installation fails to inspire any sort of reaction at all," he says. "A significant work encourages you to spend a little time with it and challenges you to understand it; it invites you to read your surroundings in a different light."
This is one of two untitled paintings by celebrated Montreal artist Jean McEwen on display in the Nahum Gelber Law Library. Known for his mastery of texture and his bold use of colour, McEwen was a protégé of abstract artist Paul-Émile Borduas, one of the most influential figures in Canadian art history. Fittingly, McEwen was awarded Quebec's highest honour for achievement in visual arts —the Prix Paul-Émile Borduas— in 1998.
Did Paul Bunyan drop his keys? This work, by Montreal sculptor Jacek Jarnuszkiewicz, adorns the staircase to the M.H. Wong Building, home to the Departments of Chemical Engineering and Mining and Metallurgical Engineering. Constructed of brass, copper and stainless steel (all materials of interest to the researchers inside the building), the work represents the keys to knowledge and the serrated edge along one key evokes the streetscapes of Plateau Mont-Royal. Other works by Jarnuszkiewicz are located at Atwater Market, the Pointe-à-Calliere museum in Old Montreal and the Cartier metro station.
British sculptor Barbara Hepworth was a major figure in the modernist movement and her work is displayed at the United Nations headquarters in New York, the University of Oxford's St. Catherine's College, and Britain's Tate Gallery. Her bronze piece Square Forms and Circles will be one of four works highlighted in a new sculpture garden, an initiative of former vice-principal (administration and finance) François Roy. Another work that will be included in the new James Square, which will be officially opened at the end of May near the James Administration Building, is Fenêtres sur l'avenir, by Marcel Barbeau, one of the leaders of Quebec's highly influential automatistes, a group of abstract artists that also included Paul-Émile Borduas and Jean Paul Riopelle.
Enter the atrium of the Francesco Bellini Life Sciences Building, and there is no way you can miss Stéphanie Béliveau's stark Des soleils et des cellules, a work that manages to evoke both stars being born and cells coming under assault. A visual artist and illustrator, Béliveau received the City of Montreal's Prix Pierre-Ayot for outstanding young artists in 1997.
Montreal-born, France-based sculptor Robert Roussil's La Danse de paix was originally commissioned in 1953 by architect Fred Lebensold (a co-founder of ARCOP, one of Canada's leading architectural firms, Lebensold co-designed Place des Arts and the National Arts Centre) for the exterior of a Westmount home he had designed. The work eventually made its way to McGill where the stainless steel, copper and tin creation—one of the first large-scale outdoor murals in Canada—is now on display inside the Brown Student Services Building.
One of the giants of the pop art movement that both celebrated and satirized pop culture, Roy Lichtenstein was among the most prominent American artists of the 20th century. Many of his most vivid works drew their inspiration from comic books and advertising. Lichtenstein's tapestry Abstraction is located on the ground floor of the Arts Building, close to where it intersects with the Stephen Leacock Building. The work was a gift from Regina Slatkin, BA'29, an art dealer and collector who also donated several other significant works to McGill, including another tapestry by master minimalist Frank Stella.
Mary Filer, BFA'50, is an award-winning glass sculptor with a unique connection to the Montreal Neurological Institute where her work, Neuressence, co-created with Marcus Sabathil, is exhibited inside the Brain Tumour Research Centre. Having been a Neuro nurse for several years, Filer has firsthand knowledge of the work that goes on there. She was still nursing when she first took up art seriously under the tutelage of the Group of Seven's Arthur Lismer in the forties. Today her glass works and paintings are included in the collections of the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and Simon Fraser University. A mural by Filer, depicting the history of neurology, hangs in the Neuro's main boardroom.
The statue of Queen Victoria that maintains its majestic vigil in front of the Strathcona Music Building has a royal pedigree that extends beyond its subject matter. Unveiled in 1900 at what was then the Royal Victoria College residence for female students, the work was created by Princess Louise, Victoria's daughter and, for a brief period, a resident of Rideau Hall when her husband served as Canada's governor general (Alberta's Lake Louise is named in her honour as is the province itself—her full name was Louisa Caroline Alberta). Another of her sculptures, also of Victoria, is prominently displayed on the grounds of Kensington Palace.
Abitibi artist Luc Boyer's Le Retour is located outside the Cancer Research Building, home to the Rosalind and Morris Goodman Cancer Centre. The rusted finish and the organic forms refer to both the disease and the treatments under study by the researchers inside the building, says Covo. "It's a very powerful piece, even aggressive," says Covo, something that he finds entirely appropriate given the subject matter. The work's strong verticality is an expression of optimism and develops a nice fit with the trees on site and the nearby woods of Mount Royal.
There are always plenty of reasons to visit McGill's Redpath Museum, where you'll find everything from mummies to meteorite fragments. One of the more unusual residents of the museum can be spotted soaring near the ceiling—an origami pteranodon with a 16-foot wingspan. Created from a single 4.5 m x 4.5 m sheet of paper, the pteranodon is the work of American physicist Robert Lang, a pioneer in computational origami, whose creations have been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and featured in the New Yorker and Wired.
Catherine Widgery's Icarus, created in 1983, provides its own unique take on the classic Greek myth for visitors to the Leacock Building. David Covo says the steel and wood mobile is one of his favourite works of art at McGill. "It's a wonderful interpretation of the myth," says Covo. "It constantly reconfigures itself as you walk towards it, underneath it, or around it." Widgery, a sculptor and mixed-media artist who divides her time between Montreal, Massachusetts and Guatemala, has created more than 30 site-specific public art projects in Canada and the United States. Her work garnered international attention in 1998 as the result of a major exhibition at the Royal Ontario Museum and it has been featured on the covers of several art magazines.
The varied achievements of R. Tait McKenzie, MDCM1892, are difficult to summarize in a few lines. As a doctor and medical educator (he taught anatomy at McGill for several years), McKenzie became a trailblazing figure in the fields of military and rehabilitative medicine and his book, Reclaiming the Maimed, became an official manual of the United States Army and Navy. He served, for a time, as the personal physician to the Governor General of Canada. McKenzie was also a pioneer in the field of physical education, arguing that regular exercise was essential to good health. McKenzie himself was an accomplished athlete, earning a Canadian intercollegiate championship in the high jump during his McGill studies. His interest in both athletics and anatomy drew him to sculpting. While art critics were initially scornful of the moonlighting doctor's efforts, the anatomical precision and gracefulness of McKenzie's work soon drew praise. His much-copied sculpture The Ideal Scout was commissioned for the headquarters of the Boy Scouts of America, while a statuette, The Sprinter, sat on U.S. president Theodore Roosevelt's White House desk. Some of McKenzie's works are displayed at McGill, including The Falcon, a bronze statue located outside the McLennan Library, and Brothers of the Wind, a bas-relief located inside the Currie Gym.
One of the early pioneers of the modern poster was French painter Jules Chéret. Among his works was a poster heralding the 1889 opening of the famous Parisian cabaret, the Moulin Rouge. Chéret's approach to posters quickly became the norm. Colourful illustrations become their dominant feature while the use of text became much more restricted – just a handful of explanatory words were used in his designs. A master of lithography, Chéret popularized its use. His posters, which advertised everything from major theatrical performances to hat shops to cosmetics, became a defining element of Paris during la Belle Époque. Two of Chéret's paintings, L'Enfant prodigue and La Patineuse, both maquettes for posters, are displayed inside the Strathcona Music Building, near its entranceway.

Corn seedling pathogens
After a slow start, corn seedling problems have become evident in many fields during the past couple of weeks. With much of the corn now out of the "seedling" stage at V5 or higher, those plants that are not thriving have become obvious. On most of the samples that I have seen, the mesocotyl tissue has been rotted to some extent, either mildly or severely. This condition has resulted in poor growth or death of the plants. On the surviving seedlings, nodal roots have developed and may be able to pull the plants through, although these stunted plants are of questionable value. The problems have occurred under a variety of conditions on corn planted at different times, although early May planting in central to southeastern Iowa seems to have been a disease-prone period. Some of the problems can be blamed on the fluctuating soil temperatures earlier in the spring, when some seed took a month to emerge, or saturating rains fell shortly after planting. These conditions are very favorable for seedling diseases and test the limitations of the seed treatments. In other fields, problems have arisen in later planted corn that emerged on time, under conditions that would not be expected to result in seedling disease.
There has been a great deal of guesswork regarding the pathogen or pathogens responsible for the destruction, with most of the focus on Pythium species. Some of the problems have been severe enough also to fuel speculation about the efficacy of the seed treatment fungicides, especially toward Pythium. Over the past decade, Pythium species have been perceived as a growing problem in establishing corn stands; thus, fungicides with activity against Pythium (mefenoxam or metalaxyl) are standard components of commercial seed treatments on corn. I do not know of any documented examples of Pythium insensitivity to metalaxyl or mefenoxam in cornfields. At least 14 species of Pythium are reported to cause seedling blight and root rot of corn, and often, identification to species is not done. Based on seed treatment trial results, I have always considered Pythium to be a major component of the seedling disease complex, but I have not attempted to identify Pythium species from seedlings in these trials.
However, this year I am concerned about the degree of focus on Pythium when a real diagnosis has not been done. Although there are some general differences in the appearance of mesocotyl decay caused by various pathogens, it is not possible to accurately identify corn seedling pathogens without laboratory procedures. Such procedures would include isolating from the tissue or an antibody-based detection method. Unfortunately, Pythium is notoriously difficult to recover from plant tissue and the antibody tests are not infallible; so even these methods are not always definitive.
When belowground seed or seedling tissues begin to die, they are rapidly colonized by a variety of fungi and bacteria, many of which contribute to the decay. When we isolate from these tissues we usually find more than one potentially pathogenic fungus, including several species of Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Penicillium, Trichoderma, Aspergillus, and Stenocarpella. I also have been isolating Mucor, which was identified as a corn seedling pathogen several years ago by researchers at University of Illinois. It is impossible to determine which one is the primary pathogen, if there even is a primary pathogen. If a large number of seedlings are cultured it can be possible to infer that a particular fungus is important, but this inference cannot be made for individual plants.
Ultimately, we need to think of corn seedling disease as a complex of fungi (and probably bacteria, too) that must be controlled as a group. Although the activity of seed treatment fungicides against components of the group is a critical issue, on the field level there has not been a lot of emphasis on identifying individual pathogens. Why? Because our management strategies are the same, regardless of the pathogen involved. These diseases are prevented by standard seed treatments (Maxim XL or Captan-Allegiance) and by attempting to plant into soil conditions that are favorable for rapid emergence and unfavorable for disease. When a problem does occur, management usually consists of a replant decision, which is independent of the pathogen(s) involved. The only exception might be if a planter-box treatment containing mefenoxam or metalaxyl was being considered. This treatment is rarely done and even more rarely recommended because we have not seen much benefit to adding more active ingredient to the mefenoxam or metalaxyl already on the seed. In a replant situation, a planter-box treatment would usually not be recommended because the soil temperature would normally be warm enough to avoid disease.

When screened in Britain this specific scene was said to have "ambushed" the audience. It set off hundreds of viewer complaints and brought a viewing watchdog rap on the knuckles to the BBC.
Most of the shock of the view here is, however, left to the imagination. But like that severed head that 24's Jack Bauer popped into his briefcase, it does upset our expectations. Today's secret agents may be spying with brighter moral certainty, but espionage on TV is as dirty and deceptive a game as ever.

August: Osage County (15)
Running time: 121 minutes
Starring: Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Juliette Lewis, Julianne Nicholson, Margo Martindale, Chris Cooper, Ewan McGregor, Benedict Cumberbatch, Abigail Breslin, Dermot Mulroney, Sam Shepard, Misty Upham.
Director: John Wells.
Released: January 24 (UK & Ireland)
EVERYBODY hurts in August: Osage County, adapted for the screen by Tracy Letts from his 2008 Pulitzer Prize-winning stage play.
Some of the dysfunctional family at the film's emotional core suffer superficial wounds: dents to foolish pride, bruises to overinflated egos, grazes from expertly tossed verbal barbs.
However, many of this conflicted clan are not so fortunate, harbouring deep psychological scars that have festered for years and are now beyond repair.
Death is the only salvation from this misery.
In the meantime, family members react to the constant throb of anguish and self-loathing by lashing out at nearest and dearest in a futile attempt to feel better about their pitiful excuse for an existence.
John Wells's film opens in the calm before an inevitable storm with grizzled patriarch Beverly Weston (Sam Shepard) hiring a Native American woman called Johnna (Misty Upham) as a live-in carer and cook for his pill-popping, terminally ill wife, Violet (Meryl Streep).
Soon after, Beverly vanishes from his rural Oklahoma homestead and his lifeless body is recovered five days later in a nearby lake.
Violet telephones her three daughters for support and they dutifully, if reluctantly, rally to her desperate cause.
Youngest child Ivy (Julianne Nicholson) lives nearby while oldest child Barbara (Julia Roberts) arrives from out of town with her estranged husband Bill (Ewan McGregor) and their disgruntled 14-year-old daughter, Jean (Abigail Breslin).
Flighty middle child Karen (Juliette Lewis) is last to materialise, waltzing into town with her new beau, sleazy Florida businessman Steve Heidebrecht (Dermot Mulroney).
Violet's waspish sister Mattie Fae (Margo Martindale), her long-suffering husband Charles (Chris Cooper) and their socially awkward son Little Charles (Benedict Cumberbatch) also crowd around the dinner table, where drug-addled Violet insists on serving up bile-slathered insults alongside Johnna's lovingly prepared meal.
"You're in rare form today, Vi," quips Charles, hoping to dissipate some of the tension with humour, but his sister-in-law is spoiling for a fight. "I'm just truth-telling," she retorts. "Some people get antagonised by the truth."
Set largely within the claustrophobic Weston house on a sweltering summer's afternoon, August: Osage County cannot escape its theatrical origins.
Wells camerawork is largely static, relying on Letts's dialogue to set the brisk tempo. He harnesses tour-de-force performances from the ensemble cast.
Streep is in blistering form, baiting her eldest daughter for a heated response with each swingeing sideswipe: "If you'd had more than one child, you'd know a parent always has favourites."
Fellow Oscar nominee Roberts is equally impressive, finally losing her cool in a hysterical scene with a plate of fish. Martindale is mesmerising while Brits abroad McGregor and Cumberbatch offer solid accents in slightly underwritten supporting roles.
Like so many family gatherings, the film ends in tears, recriminations and the unsettling promise of more damage to come.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Pop star Madonna's brother Christopher Ciccone has written a memoir called "Life With My Sister Madonna," to be published next month by Simon and Schuster.
"Ciccone's extraordinary memoir is based on his life and 47 years of growing up with and working with his sister -- the most famous woman in the world," Simon and Schuster imprint Simon Spotlight Entertainment said.
Ciccone, one of Madonna's five siblings, wrote the book with Wendy Leigh. She has also written biographies of John F. Kennedy Jr, Britain's Prince Edward, Liza Minelli and ghost-written Zsa Zsa Gabor's autobiography.
Madonna's spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg had no comment.
Madonna, whose original name was Madonna Louise Ciccone, made her debut in 1982. Her first album, "Madonna," which included hits such as "Holiday," "Borderline" and "Lucky Star," helped her become one of the best-selling pop artists, with more than 200 million albums sold worldwide.
The book will be published on July 15, a month before Madonna celebrates her 50th birthday.

KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN – Australian soldiers in southern Afghanistan shot dead two children tending cattle, officials said Saturday, in an incident likely to escalate tensions over the conduct of international troops.
Civilian casualties caused by NATO-led forces have been one of the most contentious issues in the campaign against Taliban insurgents, often triggering widespread public anger and harsh criticism from President Hamid Karzai.
The two children, aged 7 and 8, were killed Thursday morning as Australian soldiers fought back after a Taliban attack in Uruzgan Province, provincial Gov. Amir Mohammad Akhundzada said.
"The children were killed by Australian troops, it was a mistaken incident, not a deliberate one," Akhundzada said, adding that insurgents had first shot at a helicopter carrying Australian soldiers.
NATO's International Security Assistance Force expressed its "deep regret" over the children's deaths and said it remains committed to minimizing civilian casualties.

Concern that Stark County may attempt to withdraw from the Stark-Tuscarawas-Wayne Solid Waste District has been raised by two pieces of legislation that have been introduced in Columbus.
While those bills appear to be bottled up for this session, if Stark County did manage to pull out of the three-county compact, it would have a significant financial impact on Wayne County, according to Wayne County Health Commissioner and district policy committee chairman Greg Halley.
Wayne County depends upon "being a part of a district where revenue is generated from landfill activities," Halley said, especially once its own Mount Eaton Landfill reaches capacity, an imminent concern.
Halley said Wayne County solid waste and recycling programs could probably continue if it remained a two-county district with Tuscarawas, but on its own, it would have to find "alternative" funding sources.
The two bills, introduced by Sen. Scott Oelslager, R-Canton, and Rep. Kirk Schuring, R-Canton, provide a withdrawal mechanism for counties generating more than 70 percent of the total fees collected in districts made up of three or more counties.
In the Stark-Tuscarawas-Wayne district, that party fitting that description would be Stark County.
According to Rep. Ron Amstutz, R-Wooster, Wayne County Commissioner Fred Cannon and Halley, the catalyst for the bills was a proposed interchange ramp that Stark County wants constructed off I-77 near Bolivar to keep heavy trash trucks from using county roads to reach the Countywide Landfill on Gracemont Avenue S.W. in Stark County.
Stark County officials argue that the trucks are a safety concern and have threatened to withdraw if the district does not construct a ramp off I-77.
The legislation in Columbus creates "a very unique withdrawal mechanism," Amstutz said. "If passed, it would only allow Stark County to withdraw."
"Why would the rest of the state want to do this?"
Amstutz is concerned. He said the local joint district has been a leader with a good track record in the state.
The legislation, he said, is not a "good thing."
"It goes against the original legislation of working together," he said. "We have a strain in the solid waste district that needs to be worked on," not only for the sake of "a clean physical environment," but also for "the working relationships (between governmental) entities."
Amstutz said he is not "pushing the alarm button." The bills have been assigned to committee in the Ohio State legislature, but probably won't make it much further in the legislative process this session because of time constraints. The current session ends in approximately four weeks. The legislature will not reconvene until September.
Cannon hopes that recent meetings held by the joint solid waste district landfill subcommittee to hire a consultant to study the ramp issue will eliminate Stark County's interest in the legislation.
The subcommittee met for a second time Tuesday, choosing candidates to be interviewed for the position.
Cannon said that the district agreed last summer to accept a consultant's recommendation on the ramp, an issue he is not certain relates only to safety.
"Many people on the (district) board think that a ramp would be more for the benefit of the landfill than the community," he said, noting that the safety issue of "trucks that are too heavy and traveling too fast on roads that are too narrow" is present in many areas.
"The county engineer granted an exemption for trucks (in the landfill area) to haul beyond the road's capacity. They have a privilege.
"My concern is about the cost of building a ramp," he said. "We've got safety issues in lots of places."
Cannon believes that Stark County will have no reason to withdraw if the district follows a course of action outlined by a consultant, who will "study the need for alternative means to get to the landfill."
"The most cost-efficient, economic means" is Cannon's suggestion.
"It might not be a ramp."

A huge targeted attack campaign, which lasted over five years and went after Governments as well as private businesses, has been reported by McAfee.
The security specialist said the attacks may have been state-sponsored due to a number of non-profit bodies being targeted. These included the UN and the International Olympic Committee.
The security giant identified 72 of the compromised parties, but many more were hit in the Operation Shady RAT attacks.
Of those 72, 22 were Government organisations, including 14 US Government bodies. Another 13 were defence contractors.
Two of the targeted firms were from the UK, compared to 49 from the US.
One UK computer security company was compromised for six months, whilst a defence contractor in this country was infected for a year.
The attacks were typical targeted attacks, with spear phishing emails containing an exploit sent to workers within organisations.
"The exploit when opened on an unpatched system will trigger a download of the implant malware. That malware will execute and initiate a backdoor communication channel to the Command & Control web server and interpret the instructions encoded in the hidden comments embedded in the webpage code," said Dmitri Alperovitch, vice president for threat research at McAfee, in a blog post.
"This will be quickly followed by live intruders jumping on to the infected machine and proceeding to quickly escalate privileges and move laterally within the organisation to establish new persistent footholds via additional compromised machines running implant malware, as well as targeting for quick exfiltration the key data they came for."
A major US news organisation was compromised at its New York Headquarters and Hong Kong Bureau for more than 21 months, according to McAfee. The longest compromise hit the Olympic Committee of a nation in Asia, lasting 28 months.
"After painstaking analysis of the logs, even we were surprised by the enormous diversity of the victim organisations and were taken aback by the audacity of the perpetrators," Alperovitch said.
"Virtually everyone is falling prey to these intrusions, regardless of whether they are the United Nations, a multinational Fortune 100 company, a small non-profit think-tank, a national Olympic team, or even an unfortunate computer security firm."
The majority of organisations hit have cleaned their systems of infection from the Operation Shady RAT campaign.
Earlier this year, McAfee reported on another wide-scale cyber attack targeting critical infrastructure - Operation Night Dragon.

Cincy's rookie duo is rocking
Making the transition from the college level to the pros is a demanding task, both physically and mentally. Each year, it seems that the talent level and the expectations for incoming rookies hit an all-time high, and the future is very bright for a number of rookies from the draft class of 2011.
As some teams, depending on their bye week, have now hit the halfway point of the season, I want to take a look at the top performing rookies for the first half of the season. The following is an analysis on the top five rookies in each conference and the instant impact they have had for their respective teams.
5. Stefen Wisniewski, G, Oakland Raiders: Round 2/48th overall (Penn State)
Wisniewski is the son of a former NFL nose tackle, and nephew to a former NFL offensive lineman and current assistant line coach for the Oakland Raiders. So you know he has football in his blood, but heading into the draft, he wasn't among the most talked about interior lineman and there were seven other linemen selected before him. Now, he is an offensive leader for the Raiders and is helping to pave the way for the AFC's best rushing attack with 159.3 yards per game.
Wisniewski has started all seven games at left guard, but it was his versatility to also play center that made him most attractive in the draft. Prior to signing Samson Satele, that is exactly where the Raiders thought he would play, but with the impending loss of Robert Gallery, they had to fill the hole at the guard position. Since then, he has shown an ability to plow defenders out of the running lanes, the agility to pull around the edge to bounce plays outside, and an effective quick set and strike in the passing game. He plays all the way to the whistle and doesn't quit on blocks. Stefen Wisniewski will be a fixture for the Raiders' offensive line for years to come.
4. Daniel Thomas, RB, Miami Dolphins: Round 2/62nd overall (Kansas State)
Even with a lingering hamstring injury, Daniel Thomas has been averaging an rookie-best 75.5 rushing yards per game and is on pace to challenge the likes of Karim Abdul-Jabbar and Ronnie Brown for the most rushing yards by a rookie in franchise history.
Heading into April, Thomas was my fourth-ranked running back on my draft board, but he is playing at a much higher level than I anticipated. He is a big, physical back that runs downhill and attacks defenders rather than shying away from them. He has the versatility to make plays in the passing game, and even split out as a wide receiver at times during college. He has displayed good field vision and often cuts back to the backside hole and fights for extra yardage after initial contact. One interesting note, Thomas played the workhorse role in Kansas State's offense with just under 600 touches his junior and senior years, and never missed a single game due to injury. That is why his lingering injuries have been so disappointing.
3. Von Miller, OLB, Denver Broncos: Round 1/2nd overall (Texas A&M)
Von Miller was the first defensive player selected in the NFL draft, and was ranked only behind Patrick Peterson and Marcel Darius on my draft board. He has stepped up to the challenge and proven that he is more than just a one-trick pony. Miller has started all seven games for the Broncos and has registered 26 tackles, 6 sacks, 2 passes defensed and 2 forced fumbles. What is most impressive about his six sacks is that they are spread out across five different games. To me, that proves he hasn't just taken advantage of one bad offensive lineman, but has instead had an impact on almost every game so far this year.
Coming into the draft, he was drawing comparison to Clay Matthews and even Derrick Thomas. While those are pretty big shoes to fill, he has shown that he has the skill-set to do just that. He is explosive off the line of scrimmage, and uses his strong hands to shed linemen and step through blocks. Additionally, he has shown that he can drop back into coverage and disrupt the passing game off the line of scrimmage as well.
2/1. Andy Dalton, QB, Cincinnati Bengals: Round 2/35th overall (TCU) and A.J. Green, WR, Cincinnati Bengals: Round 1/4th overall (Georgia)
I have combined these into one, because that is how they will be seen throughout their entire careers in Cincinnati. Entering this year, Cincinnati was thought to be in complete rebuilding mode, but now, sitting at 5-2 and tied with both Baltimore and Pittsburgh for the best record in the division, they are in the thick of a playoff race. Yes, their top-five defense has something to do with that, but Andy Dalton and A.J. Green deserve a ton of credit for keeping this offense together after losing Carson Palmer, Terrell Owens, and Chad Ochocinco in the offseason.
The Bengals are currently enjoying a four-game winning streak and Dalton has now thrown for 1,479 yards and nine touchdowns. Green accounts for 516 of those yard and five of those touchdowns. Both Dalton and Green are chasing franchise rookie records, and Green is currently leading all NFL rookies with 33 receptions.
5. Mark Ingram, RB, New Orleans Saints: Round 1/28th overall (Alabama)
The 2009 Heisman Trophy winner rushed for a career-high 91 yards in the blowout win over the Colts in Week 7, and now leads all NFL rookies with 329 rushing yards. He has added three rushing touchdowns, all while sharing carries with Pierre Thomas and Darren Sproles.
Ingram is a patient runner that sets up his blocks well and then explodes through the hole. He has drawn many comparisons to Emmitt Smith, and while the running style may be somewhat similar, he still has a lot of production to go before he can sit on that throne. While he is somewhat quiet and unassuming off the field, he runs with a fire and passion on it. He runs with an attitude and a purpose and always seems to fall forward for an extra yard or two. If he can stay healthy, he will have a long and popular career in the NFL.
4. Ryan Kerrigan, OLB, Washington Redskins: Round 1/16th overall (Purdue)
Ryan Kerrigan joins the burst of talent at the pass-rushing position (Shaun Phillips, Ray Edwards, Cliff Avril) to come out of Purdue, and he is holding up to that recent history quite well. He has started in all seven games and has 29 tackles, two sacks, three passes defensed, two forced fumbles, and one defensive touchdown.
While his production isn't all that surprising to me, it is from the position he is doing it that has raised my eyebrows. During college, he had always played with his hand on the ground and was a traditional defensive end, and a very good one at that. He had at least one sack in nine of 12 games as a senior, but I wasn't sure that talent would transition into a 3-4 rush end. I wasn't sure he had the hip flexibility and the quick feet, but he has been a force along the Redskins' front seven and has proven to be a great compliment to Brian Orakpo on the other side. With Kerrigan improving every week, this could be a pass-rushing tandem that could be among the league's best by the end of the year.
3. Julio Jones, WR, Atlanta Falcons: Round 1/6th overall (Alabama)
Julio Jones was almost unanimously ranked as the second-best receiver in the draft after A.J. Green, but then he set the world on fire with his combine workout and had many believing he could be even better than Green. Then, the Falcons made the huge blockbuster trade to move up in the draft to select Jones with the sixth overall pick. With the huge workout numbers and the big draft day trade, the expectations for Jones were through the roof before he even stepped foot on an NFL practice field, let alone in an actual game. He could have easily folded under that pressure, but instead, he rallied behind it and, before his hamstring injury, was averaging 71.6 yards receiving per game. At the time, he was leading all rookies with 25 catches.
Jones has shown the ability to not only stretch the field vertically, but has shown a no fear attitude when running crossing routes across the middle, and most important, a willingness to block on the perimeter to spring some long runs. He is a rare combination of elite speed, strength and explosiveness that gives the Falcons offense a whole new dimension. Once healthy, he will challenge Green as the best rookie wide receiver in the NFL, and that is a comparison that will stay with both of them throughout their entire careers.
2. Aldon Smith, DE, San Francisco 49ers: Round 1/7th overall (Missouri)
Although he hasn't officially started any games for the 49ers, he has still been a very impactful player during their 6-1 start. He leads the teams with 6.5 sacks and is on pace to join Charles Haley and Dana Stubblefield as the only 49ers' rookies with at least 10 sacks in a season. He also has 13 total tackles and one forced fumble.
Smith was a little bit of a tweener coming into the draft as teams weren't sure if he was going to be able to take the beating as a full-time defensive end, and thought he may be better off as an outside backer. He has since added some weight and strength and has proven to be effective as a pass rusher, but maybe even more important, to not be an easy target in the run game. He uses his length well to disrupt passing lanes and has good field awareness and defensive instincts. He is easily a candidate for defensive rookie of the year, and will be in line for a great career if he continues to work hard and get better at his craft.
1. Cam Newton, QB, Carolina Panthers: Round 1/1st overall (Auburn)
While his team is struggling to put together wins, they are outperforming what any expert could have predicted at this point in the season. Each game the Panthers have lost, they have been competitive and could have easily won if the ball bounced their way a couple of times. That is in no small part due to Cam Newton, who currently ranks fifth in passing yards per game and fourth in total yards per game. Of his team's 21 total touchdowns, Newton has accounted for 18 of them! His seven rushing touchdowns already tie Vince Young for most by a rookie quarterback since 1970, and Newton still has the entire second half of the season left.

Yes, I think the editors removed it not so much because of the article, as PW editors and bloggers tend to be Republican, but because of the idiotic comments added by the original poster of the piece. Cheers.

Spicy Sausage Salad
In this vibrant Lao salad, sausages are enlivened by lots of fresh coriander, mint and lime juice.
- Servings: 6
- 2 tablespoons long-grain rice (optional)
- 1 pound hot or sweet Italian sausages, or Thai sausages
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Thai fish sauce (nam pla)
- 1 bird chile, minced
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 large shallot, thinly sliced crosswise and separated into rings
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped mint
How to make this recipe
Light the grill or preheat the broiler. In a small skillet, toast the rice over moderately high heat, shaking the skillet, until the rice is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer the rice to a plate to cool completely. Grind the rice to a fine powder in a spice mill.
Grill or broil the sausages about 5 inches from the heat for about 4 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Let cool, then slice the sausages crosswise 1/3 inch thick.
In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, fish sauce and chile. Season the dressing with pepper. In a shallow bowl, toss the sausage slices with the shallot rings, cilantro and mint. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well. Just before serving, sprinkle the salad with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the roasted rice powder.
Suggested Pairing
The clean, fruity notes of a classic ale will cool the salad's spices yet blend with its citrus accents.

A recent change in the software landscape involves the introduction of the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). FOSS offers freedom to access and enhance software source code at low or free cost, thereby demonstrating high potential to enhance the impact of ICT in the society. However, the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) and some other higher education institutions in South Africa are yet to embrace and derive the benefits of the FOSS change phenomena. It thus seems like being unable to make sense of the FOSS phenomenon and generally in need some framework or perspective to deal with the change to FOSS. Dealing with change, according to literature and practice, requires a conducive organizational culture. But to what extent is organizational culture being taken into account in the management of technological changes like FOSS at TUT? An interpretive research approach which is qualitative in nature is adopted to investigate this problem. A case study of TUT is conducted using questionnaire and interview triangulated with document review. The study concludes that effective use of Information Technologies such as FOSS for the benefit of the organization could be enabled with properly managed change initiative enhanced by a conducive organizational culture at the University in which the management, staff members and students have various roles to play.

SOUTH CHARLESTON, WV – June 10, 2009 – (RealEstateRama) – The goal of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) disaster housing program is to provide financial assistance to help disaster survivors address their needs for temporary housing and home repairs.
There are two primary federal programs that offer disaster assistance, including housing assistance.
- FEMA's Individuals and Households Program (IHP) provides money and direct services to those affected by a major disaster.
- The why is there no dapoxetine 60 mg in the drugstore, where to buy dapoxetine online safely , dapoxetine 60 mg pills cost uk, medicine dapoxetine 90, dapoxetine U.S. Small Business Administration best prices for all customers! dapoxetine generic priligy . next day delivery, buy dapoxetine . (SBA) provides low-interest loans for damage to property owned by homeowners, renters, businesses, and private non-profit organizations that are not fully covered by insurance.
Here are some of the most common questions about FEMA's IHP.
I can't live in my home. Can I get help to rent a house or apartment? Rental assistance for temporary housing may be available if your home is uninhabitable because of the disaster. If there are no rental properties available, you may be provided a temporary housing unit.
The house I rented was destroyed in the flood? Can I get help with paying rent for another house? If you were forced to move out of your house because of the disaster, FEMA grants may be available to cover temporary housing needs.
Will FEMA give me enough money for all the repairs I need to make because of flood damage, and to replace all my property that was damaged or destroyed? buy valtrex without prescription. valacyclovir online. we ship worldwide. we offer fda approved tablets. you can find generic and branded tablets in our online shop. It's important to have realistic expectations. By law, FEMA grants are limited to making a home safe, sanitary and functional and to help pay for essential disaster-related expenses. This may not be enough to cover your entire loss.
is zyban cheaper than wellbutrin buy zyban online If I have insurance can I still get help for temporary housing or home repairs from FEMA? FEMA may be able to help you with disaster-related costs that your insurance does not cover. The only way to find out what may be available is to register with FEMA. You will be asked about your insurance when you register and you may eventually need to provide FEMA with a settlement statement from your insurance company stating what part of the loss insurance covers. FEMA isn't allowed to duplicate payments you receive from another source, such as insurance payments.
Are only low-income individuals qualified for disaster housing assistance? Federal disaster assistance programs may be available to those who suffered damage, regardless of income. The programs are available to any eligible applicant and are not based on income. The kinds of help provided depend on the applicant's circumstances and unmet disaster-related needs.
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about SBA loans.
Why did I receive an SBA disaster loan application after applying with FEMA? The basic form of federal help to make home repairs which are not fully covered by insurance is a low-interest SBA loan. You must complete the application and return it to FEMA. If SBA determines you cannot afford a loan, SBA will automatically refer you back to FEMA for additional help.
I think I can pay for the repairs on my own; should I apply for an SBA loan? You may find that the cost to repair your home is more than you planned. With an approved SBA loan, you will know that you have the money to make needed repairs. While no one wants additional debt, a low-interest loan with affordable payments is a better alternative than not making complete disaster repairs.
If I am offered an SBA loan, do I have to accept it? You do not have to accept the loan, but if you do not accept the loan you will not be eligible for other federal disaster assistance.
I want to build a retaining wall so my house won't flood next time. Can I get money to do that? If your loan application is approved, you may be eligible for funds to cover the cost of improvements that will protect your property against future damage. Examples of improvements include retaining walls, drains and sump pumps.
To be eligible for housing assistance, disaster survivors must apply for assistance online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov or by calling toll-free, 800-621-FEMA (3362), between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., daily. Those with speech or hearing impairments may call top quality medications. weight gain with generic zoloft . online drugstore, buying zoloft online no prescription. TTY 800-462-7585. The type and amount of assistance is determined on a case by case basis.
FEMA leads and supports the nation in a risk-based, comprehensive emergency management system of preparedness, protection, response, recovery, and mitigation, to reduce the loss of life and property and protect the nation from all hazards including natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and other man-made disasters.
