Instantly recognizing the chirography, he asked where I was.
It was in fact, to him, his father's name and chirography, and no one's else.
The writing as an example of the chirography of the century is of interest.
His chirography always was abominable; but now it is outrageous.
The letters were written by an amanuensis,--all save these concluding words which Paul added in his own chirography.
No, for the chirography was not mine—it was identical with all the rest of the writing.
We shall not object to your chirography, so you must practise it often, and let me hear of your progress and well-doing.
The writing is apparently a woman's, but the chirography is smaller than the Girl's.

WASHINGTON (AP) Two economic reports delivered a mixed message Thursday.
The government said the number of newly laid-off U.S. workers signing up for unemployment benefits posted an expected drop last week, but consumer spending fell in March for the first time in three months.
The Labor Department says new applications for unemployment insurance fell to a seasonally adjusted 631,000 last week from the prior week's 645,000, which was revised slightly higher from the government's initial estimate.
Economists expected a small increase in new claims.
But the number of people continuing to draw unemployment benefits jumped to 6.27 million, highest on records dating back to 1967 and steeper than economists expected.
In the second report, the Commerce Department says consumer spending dropped 0.2% in March, worse than the 0.1% decline that economists had expected.
Incomes, reflecting the continued wave of layoffs, dropped 0.3%, worse than the 0.2% dip that had been expected.
New unemployment filings— as opposed to the number of people who remain on unemployment rolls — are closely tracked by economists for clues about the future direction of the economy. Analysts want to see a sustained decline in new applications as a sign of improved conditions.
Although last week's drop in new jobless filings was welcome, the level of claims remains elevated and signals a troubled jobs market. The labor market usually doesn't recover until well after a recession has ended. That's because companies won't want to ramp up hiring until they feel certain any recovery has staying power.
The record number of continued claims suggests that many laid-off workers are having trouble finding new jobs.
As a proportion of the work force, the total jobless benefit rolls are the highest since late December 1982. The continuing claims data lag initial claims data by a week.
Besides the continued claims, the report said there were 2.4 million people receiving benefits, as of April 11, under an extended unemployment compensation program enacted by Congress last year. That provides an additional 20 to 33 weeks on top of the 26 weeks typically provided by states.
Workers and companies have been hard hit by the recession, which began in December 2007. It has snatched 5.1 million jobs and pushed the unemployment rate to a quarter-century high of 8.5%. It is expected to top 10% by early next year before it starts to slowly drift downward.
Companies have laid off workers and resorted to other cost-saving measures to survive the recession, which has eaten into sales and profits.
The income and spending report said after-tax incomes were flat in March, leaving the personal savings rate at 4.2%, an improvement from a year ago when the rate was near zero. Households have been cutting spending and boosting savings, worried that they may need emergency funds in the face of continuing layoffs.
The 0.2% drop in spending was the first decline after two consecutive increases. Spending shot up 1.1% in January, largest monthly jump in nearly five years, but that followed six monthly declines.
The fact that spending turned negative again in March is a worrisome sign about future economic prospects. Consumer spending in the first quarter of the year grew at a 2.2% annual rate after two consecutive quarters of declines.
However, many economists believe spending will dip back into negative territory in the current April-June period, further delaying a rebound from the recession. Economists closely watch consumer spending because it accounts for 70% of economic activity.
A price gauge tied to consumer spending showed a modest 0.2% increase, excluding food and energy, and a 1.8% increase over the past year. The country's deep recession, on its way to becoming the longest in the post World War II period, has dampened price pressures.
The Federal Reserve, which last December slashed a key interest rate to near zero to fight the downturn, announced on Wednesday that it would keep rates low for the foreseeable future and is prepared to use other means to jump-start the economy.
The economy, as measured by the gross domestic product, fell at an annual rate of 6.1% the first three months of the year after a 6.3% plunge in the fourth quarter. It marked the worst back-to-back declines in GDP in a half century.
Even with the expectation that consumer spending could turn negative again in the second quarter, economists are looking for the GDP decline to slow to perhaps a 3% fall, reflecting the fact that businesses will not be slashing inventories at such a rapid pace as they did in the first three months of the year. Analysts are looking for GDP to be only slightly negative in the third quarter and then turn positive in the fourth quarter.
The main reason economists have gloomy expectations about spending are the continuing job cuts.

Chef Guillaume Brahimi is promising his new Sydney restaurant will be more like a "suburban" venue, but diners shouldn't expect mid-range prices.
Brahimi will serve his last orders Bennelong at the Sydney Opera House on New Year's Eve this year, before opening guillaume in the premises currently home to Darcy's in Paddington in Sydney's east in early 2014.
"This is what we do, we make people happy. At Bennelong we tried to make people happy, but it's such a big restaurant with a lot of constraints," he told The Australian Financial Review in Western Australia's southwest, where he's taking part in the Margaret River Gourmet Escape.
"It's international, you're in an amazing building and so forth but I just wanted to do something small and focus more on what we do."
The Darcy's site is significantly smaller than Bennelong, but Brahimi rejects suggestions that standards might decline once the move takes place.
"I'm raising the bar, it's going to be harder, because we're doing less people, so more time to try to actually achieve perfection," he said.
"It's smaller, it will be more like a suburban restaurant now in a way, but I think everywhere in the great cities of the world there are some great restaurants in some beautiful suburbs."
When asked about how prices will compare to his former restaurant, Brahimi said: "Value for money will be there, but value for money doesn't mean cheap.
"I never have an issue with my price point because we charge what it's worth, and of course running a restaurant in Australia is something very expensive.
"The labour cost is enormous. We've got one of the worst, highest labour costs in the world, so you need to charge."

Sebastien's story: A young Haitian earthquake survivor speaks
NEW YORK, USA, 21 January 2010 – The earthquake in Haiti has wiped out the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people and crippled essential services for some 3 million Haitians from all walks of life – ranging from the desperately poor to middle-class and the affluent.
In the disaster's aftermath, UNICEF and its partners are delivering life-saving support to children and families in need. Nearly half of all Haitians are under 18 years of age, and these children are UNICEF's top priority. They must be found, fed, kept alive and kept safe.
Sebastien Delatour, 14, feels more fortunate than many of his peers, even though his own family has suffered losses from the earthquake. Sebastien lives in a well-off suburb of the capital, Port-au-Prince. His cousin, Valerie Moore, is a project manager in the Division of Communication at UNICEF headquarters in New York. Earlier this week, Ms. Moore interviewed Sebastien by phone for UNICEF Radio in New York, giving him a chance to tell his story.
Grandparents lost
Soon afterward, Sebastien received tragic news: His grandparents' house had been flattened. For days, his father and uncles dug through the rubble, trying to find them. Finally, their bodies were retrieved. Carmelle and Cavour Delatour were 88 and 89, respectively, and lived in Bourdon.
"My grandfather was sitting on a chair watching TV, and [the house] fell on him," says Sebastien. "He died instantly. He didn't suffer."
'People are crying and yelling'
The situation in the streets shows how bad the problems are, with tens of thousands presumed dead and an estimated 300,000 homeless.
"It stinks," says Sebastien. "It smells like death. People are crying and yelling. People are fighting with each other for food…. My dad told me that he has to be strong for all of us, and he can't show that he's crying. But I'm sure he did. I'm sure he cried in his room or something. But my mom, my mom – we all cried."
Contact with friends
He hasn't talked to many of his friends since the earthquake. Of those he has been able to reach, one lost his father in the collapse of the Hotel Montana in Port-au-Prince. Another lost her home and several family members, and is now sleeping in the streets.
The friend told Sebastien she worries about her father's continual trips into the ruins of her family's home to get food, despite an unstable structure that could fall at any time.
"I'm fortunate, I guess, for having a house and water," says Sebastien.
Security concerns
"The prison broke. There's prisoners out loose – really big criminals," notes Sebastien. In light of this and other security concerns, his mother fears it is too dangerous for him to stay in Haiti. But he has other ideas.
"I want to stay in Haiti and help give food and water to people," he says. "People told me that the aid hasn't come yet and they're running out of time."

Trapped in my body – the faces of lupus
8 May 2013
Trapped in my body – the faces of lupus
Arthritis New Zealand Chief Executive Sandra Kirby today asked people to mark World Lupus Day this Friday 10 May.
"Lupus is a form of arthritis that affects joints, muscles and other parts of the body, but it can also affect the skin, kidneys, lungs, heart, nervous system and blood and in particular the immune system."
"It is an auto-immune disease, which means that some people with lupus develop antibodies that attack healthy tissues. As a result, different parts of the body become inflamed and this causes pain and swelling. Lupus can mimic other diseases and can be difficult to diagnose. Which makes it all the more important that we raise awareness of this often debilitating yet so often undiagnosed condition", she concluded.
Arthritis New Zealand is a national organisation that raises awareness of the more than 140 forms of arthritis, advocates for those living with arthritis; funds research, and provides support through information and advice. There are more than 530,000 New Zealanders living with arthritis.
Note for editors:
· Please find below unabridged stories from Olivia, Rebekah and Lani, which describe their experiences of living with Lupus, as told in their own words. They are all available for interview, and we are happy to facilitate this. Contact Arthritis New Zealand if you would like to speak with any of them.
· A fact sheet about four international days during May that highlight various forms of autoimmune arthritis is also attached.
Olivia's story
When I close my eyes I envision a vibrant, fair skinned twenty two year old woman. A woman with blonde hair, sparkly bright blue eyes, an unforgettable warm beaming smile. She is dressed in a colourful dress. She is the kind of girl every girl wants to be. Loved by all, always smiling and has this tremendous ability to fight adversity.
When I open my eyes I see a pale faced twenty two year old. A woman who has battled and fought for survival since the tender age of three. Her eyes are red and puffy from the tears that won't stop falling. Her eyes closed off to the world, closed tight to hide the pain. Her once prominent smile has dissolved into gritted teeth. Her breath is shallow and fast. Her face round and puffy from the increase of prednisone. Her hands shake her heart races as she looks down at her once functioning body. She struggles to straighten her hands. The sight of her finger joints being stretched and pulled out of place from years of tortures' pain. Fingers that should be straight are bent at sickly angles. Perhaps the hands of a 90 year old lady? Surly not a 22 year old? The next unsightly joint is the 18cm scar on her knee. Perhaps from a shark bite? Surey not damage done by her own body!
Pain is everyone's nightmare but what happens when pain is your every day companion?
Hope that her mobility will return.
Hope the medication will provide relief.
Hope her smile will return.
But mainly hope that tomorrow will be better.
Rebekah's story
I became sick with glandular fever at age 13, and from this point in time, I have suffered with ill health persistently. Due to developing severe Raynauds, a paediatrician referred me to a paediatric Rheumatologist. I was also getting other symptoms at the time such as chest pain, abnormal heart beat/rhythm etc.
In 2009 (late) – 2010 I was diagnosed with Lupus,
In December 2011 I had my first seizure late at night whilst travelling with my father up to a Doctor's appointment, February 2102, I was diagnosed with Epilepsy.
However, it is thought that this epilepsy was part of the Lupus. My short term memory was very bad and could not remember things day to day. I was studying my masters in science at university however I had to get an extension as I could not concentrate or do my work properly. I still do have migraines on a daily basis. I have what I call "body jerks", which are really just an arm or a leg just flicking up or out or moving without conscious knowledge or effort (it is involuntary).
We have been told by Doctors in NZ that I have Neuropsychiatric Lupus
I cannot live independently
Lani's story
Lani and
I was finally diagnosed with Lupus the beginning of 2006 at that tender age of 16, although I had been experiencing symptoms from around mid 2005. Leading up to my diagnosis and before it actually I was a relatively "normal" teenager – you know, hated the world thought I knew EVERYTHING, all that kind of stuff. I also had a passion for sport, in particular – Rugby. I loved it!! 2005 I made the Women's NPC team and school Representative team. It was pretty much my life to the point where I actually noticed something was wrong with me at pre-season rugby trials the beginning of 2006!!
In a matter of 24 hours I went from running 80 minutes on a field to not even being able to walk 8 steps without being in pain. I had big welts and lumps on all my joints. I had cut like lesions on the palms of my hands and the bottom of my feet & that awesome butterfly rash. Needless to say my family started to freak out. It took a good 3 solid months, few tantrums and endless tears to properly diagnose me & although it was shocking news it was actually a relief. My Nana had Lupus when I was growing up and so does her sister – but here's the catch, my nana and I aren't blood related. My Mum was adopted at birth. So it kind of makes for some funny stories when I tell people I have lupus, I just tell them My nana and Aunty Jill kissed me too much when I was a baby and gave me their powers.
My Lupus started and affected my joints and my skin mostly. I was started me on Methyl prednisone. 3 pulses, every three months or if I needed it to be earlier then I could (majority of the time I could never last three months without a flare). I also have daily oral meds which are still the same to this day. My School was supportive and my mum being a teacher helped also, and the fact I come from a very family orientated town so once the word was out the support come flooding in. If I couldn't last at school I could sleep in classes and take the work home. If I missed school they sent work home. I passed NCEA 2 and 3 and spent most of those years in hospital. I am very thankful for all the support that was given to me at school.
Around the beginning of 2007 doctors started noticing my kidneys were showing some signs that my Lupus could be on its way. Then I started to retain all fluid, I was rushed back to hospital. It was pretty horrific, my whole body was a balloon and it was getting bigger and bigger. So with some careful consideration (I hope) they decided to start me on Cyclophosphamide, if you don't know what Cyclo is. It is a mild form of Chemotherapy.
I absolutely hated it, I was sick all the time and by the time I had gotten over the sick and the headaches it was time for another pulse! I had cyclo every four weeks for 2 years and before they stuck that poison in my arm I'd have one pulse of methylpred too. Even though I hated every moment of it, it actually worked. I went in to total renal remission but without consequences.
During my cyclo time I also had a lot of trouble with colds, flu's, and infections. More so than before too! I even ended up in hospital from a bruise that turned in to a blood infection- an hour later I would've been dead! It took 5 months for that one to heal.
So, after putting 3 of my most hugest passions in life on hold (cause I'm not giving up on them just yet) and gaining 70kg (yes that's right 70kg) where am I at now? I am able to keep my lupus stable with oral meds but I do have one methyl prednisone pulse a year just to top me up as I do run out of juice. I do push my limits a lot. But I still go to hospital if I have any of the following Oral meningitis flu or colds, blood infections or pain seizures.
Fact sheet: Acknowledging the harsh realities of the different faces of arthritis in May
Most people think 'arthritis' is one disease and they think of osteoarthritis, which can be simplistically described as 'wear and tear' of the joints. And osteoarthritis is certainly the most common form of arthritis.
We need to focus on the harsh reality of an arthritis diagnosis for more and 530,000 New Zealanders. There are over 140 different forms of arthritis, and a number of these fall into the category known as an 'autoimmune' condition. These are conditions that are caused when the body's immune system attacks its own tissues. Antibodies, which would normally ward off infection, fight one's body, causing inflammation, pain (which can be extreme), and affect the whole body, including organs.
There are many forms of autoimmune arthritis, the most common being rheumatoid arthritis, which is also the third most common form arthritis in New Zealand behind osteoarthritis and gout.
There are four international days during May that highlight various forms of autoimmune arthritis.
4 May
is World Ankolysing Spondylitis Day.
10 May is World Lupus day
12 May is International Fibromyalgia Day
And 20 May is World Autoimmune Arthritis Day
4 May is World Ankolysing Spondylitis Day
Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a type of arthritis that mainly affects the spine, causing ongoing inflammation of soft tissues around the spinal bones (vertebrae). Over time, the process of spinal inflammation can lead to fusion of part of the spine and sometimes the pelvis. We highlight this by using a 'rusty spring' metaphor.
Symptoms usually develop between the ages of 15-35, rarely older than 40 years and men are generally more severely affected than women. The reason for this is unknown. About half the risk of developing AS is genetic, meaning AS often runs in families. The most common symptom of AS is pain and stiffness in the back and neck, which often result in sleeplessness. And people with AS often experience a form of eye inflammation called uveitis and can develop an eventual loss of spinal flexibility.
Diagnosis is usually made following an
assessment of symptoms, physical examination, blood tests,
X-Rays or MR scans. Although there is no cure for AS, it can
be treated, and the condition can be well

Raising Abel
Description: KIRKUS REVIEWSA woman of remarkable resourcefulness single-handedly raises a troubled child all the way to manhood in this intimate and inspiring blog-to-book memoir.At 38, Carolyn Nash had a good job, no apparent struggles and few conscious regrets—save, perhaps, her weight and her childlessness. She remedies the latter by fostering and then adopting 3-year-old Abel, a victim ofunspeakable parental abuse, most of it sexual. The consequences are predictable and agonizing. Abel is charmingly innocent yet uncontrollably violent, and as he grows, so do his PTSD symptoms. He refuses to bathe,he fails in school. Thrown toys become thrown punches, then smashed windshields. Psychiatrists are consulted, police called. Special education, home-schooling, hospitalizations, meds—all resources are tried and exhausted. Yet Nash remains indefatigable, wrestling with her son (literally) and with her inner demons and repressed memories, haltingly revealed in sessions with her therapist. Through the lens of Abel's trauma, Nash peers into her own nightmares—she too feels deformed and unlovable—and learns their sick source. The book is structured almost entirely in short, dramatic episodes, a technique Nash uses skillfully... late in the story, when the troubled teen turns violently on Nash herself ... we get apenetrating glimpse into Abel's beating heart, where his triggers, his alienation and his lifelong struggle come into searing focus. Here Nash givesus Abel in full, and we see with our own eyes how the measure of this young man is also the measure of the woman who raised him—with pure,dogged, unrelenting, overwhelming, at times selfish, often desperate, boundless, evergreen love. This was her treatment and her cure. We know itby its common term—mothering.A sobering but uplifting tale of love that never gives up; dramatically told, ultimately rewarding.Nash, CarolynRAISING ABELCreateSpace (332 pp.)$15.99 Paperback$3.99 e-bookNovember 5, 2011ISBN: 978-1466499263

The IMF has strongly denied that its mission to boost its status as global lender has undermined policy reform efforts in borrowing nations, amid growing criticism of Funds new flexible lending policies from hawkish observers.
This crisis is different. This is the crisis where the whole world is in a recession and we need to tailor programmes accordingly, Lorenzo Giorgianni, chief of emerging markets division at the IMFs strategy, policy, and review department, said in an interview with Emerging Markets in Istanbul yesterday.
The IMF earlier this year startled markets by unexpectedly sanctioning large fiscal deficits in Ukraine and Hungary, and by expanding its large programme for Pakistan.
When the IMFs programme for Ukraine was launched last year, the Fund recommended a balanced budget, but then sanctioned a deficit of 4% of GDP. Now it has agreed to a deficit of 6% for general budgetary purposes plus 2.6% for state-owned energy company Naftogaz Ukrainy.
And after torturous bargaining with Latvia, the Fund also relaxed its fiscal criteria during the summer.
Giorgianni said the structure of IMF lending has been biased toward fiscal policy rather than monetary support, due to the collapse of private sector economic activity in the teeth of the global slump.
Monetary policy has been relatively ineffective, as banking systems had problems across the globe. So there has been a greater emphasis on fiscal policy to carry the load [of policy-led economic stimulus], Giorgianni said.
In November last year, the IMF approved a $7.6 billion stand-by arrangement with Pakistan that was upsized by an additional $3.2 billion to fund social programmes. However, observers argue that the country is relaxing its fiscal policies this year, and interest rates remain too low, while the IMF has not imposed structural reforms necessary for macro-economic adjustment.
Ashfaque Khan, a former economic advisor to the Pakistan finance ministry (1998-2009), told Emerging Markets: It is strange that the IMF has allowed its resources to be used for budgetary reasons instead of balance-of-payments support. This is a major departure from the past it is as if the IMF has changed its religion.
He added: The government has become impatient while the IMF has also forgotten its own lesson of a sound fiscal position, so vital for achieving macroeconomic stability. The countrys fiscal deficit for the 2008-09 fiscal year stands at 5.8%, exceeding the government target by 0.9%.
Giorgianni said the Fund has learned lessons from the 1997 Asia crisis, when it called for fiscal austerity and interest rate hikes to stabilize currencies and reduce import demand to correct current account balances. These policies were criticized for triggering a self-reinforcing contraction that further destabilized the region and has stigmatised the lender of last of resort in the region.
The Funds new approach had garnered goodwill among borrowers that has brought more [government] ownership in IMF programmes and so performance [observance of IMF criteria] has been better than the past, Giorgianni said.
He denied that the IMF is giving into government pressure to continue spending, which threatens to delay the necessary policy adjustment. There are some that say the best time to make reforms is in the midst of crisis, but this could be more costly to society. [...] Reforms need to be more gradual.

Editorial: For-profit colleges are no answer to high tuition
Out on the campaign trail, Mitt Romney is recommending for-profit colleges as an answer to rising tuition. At least once he has lauded a particular institution, Florida-based Full Sail University, which is run by a major campaign donor.
OPPOSING VIEW: Private-sector schools train U.S. workforce
A closer look at the record of for-profit universities suggests that Romney needs to go back to school on the issue. The industry is plagued by institutions with low graduation rates and high loan default rates. As for costs, the average student at a for-profit college spends $30,900 per year for tuition and living expenses, according to the Education Department. That's almost twice the $15,600 that students at public colleges spend, and considerably more than the $26,600 that students at private, non-profit colleges spend. How can the answer to expensive public and private education be another category that costs even more?
The reason for-profit colleges won't hold down higher education costs is similar to the reason that health care costs keep soaring, even though the medical industry is dominated by for-profit hospitals, for-profit drug companies, for-profit medical practices and for-profit insurance companies. In both education and health care, many customers are largely spending others people's money, negating the usual effects of competition.
A pharmaceutical company, for example, can sell a lot more of a drug, and charge much higher prices for it, if the cost to the customer is a small fraction of the total cost. Similarly, a doctor has a much easier time selling a patient on an expensive procedure if the patient only has a modest deductible or co-pay.
Something comparable is at work in for-profit education, where more than 75% of colleges' revenue comes in the form of federal grants and loans and the number of students is rising rapidly. In 2008, for instance, nearly 1.8 million students eligible for federal aid were enrolled at for-profit schools, a 225% increase in just 10 years.
About Editorials/Debate
Opinions expressed in USA TODAY's editorials are decided by its Editorial Board, a demographically and ideologically diverse group that is separate from USA TODAY's news staff.
Most editorials are accompanied by an opposing view — a unique USA TODAY feature that allows readers to reach conclusions based on both sides of an argument rather than just the Editorial Board's point of view.
At the same time, loan default rates at these colleges, which often provide vocational training, have outstripped those at more traditional colleges. For students whose loans became due beginning in 2009, about 15% had already defaulted by last year, according the the Education Department. For public colleges, the equivalent default number was 7.2%; at private not-for-profit colleges, it was 4.6%. According to some estimates, about half of loans to students at for-profit universities will default over the entire life of the loan, with federal taxpayers footing the bill.
That makes for-profit education something of an agriculture business. Its main line of work is harvesting taxpayer dollars, using contributions to candidates and heavy lobbying to stave off government agencies demanding greater accountability. Last year, the industry fought hard against penalties on schools with high default rates. In the end, the Education Department adopted a modest rule that could ban financial aid to colleges with default rates of greater than 25% over three years.
The trend is not universal. Some for-profit schools are delivering on their promise to produce the kind of skilled workers that America badly needs. But too many are not. Full Sail, the school cited by Romney, seems to have a mixed record, with on-time graduation rates ranging from more than 50% to as low as 18% for its various degree programs.
This much is clear: For-profit schools are most certainly not an answer to sky-high education costs.

Lindsay Lohan Was Late For 'Glee.' Of Course.
Since her mandatory probation hearings have ended, Lindsay Lohan has been a completely changed young woman, laser-focused on her career. She's been avoiding nightclubs, staying out of trouble and taking her work as an actress very seriously by not staying out partying and showing up for work late the next morning and/or skipping rehearsals like she did with SNL. Nope, this is a brand new Lindsay as TMZ's about to demonstrate:
Lindsay Lohan was late this morning for her guest appearance on "Glee" … following a night out on the town. Coincidence?
Dot Marie Jones — who plays Coach Beiste on the show — tweeted, "Gonna be a long day!! Some ppl show up late and just throw a wrench in things. Not cool! I'd rather be an hour early (I was) than 5 minutes late!"
Dot didn't say who was late, but we've confirmed the person MIA was LiLo.
BOOM. Suck it, Lindsay haters. She's finally changed her ways and you just can't handle it. Your empty, jealous, little lives couldn't possibly comprehend that she's not only pretty and talented but endowed with such incredible willpower that she's completely rehabilitated herself. She's like a beautiful moth transformed into an even more beautifuler butterfly that occasionally lands atop Gerard Butler's coke-engorged penis. She's a miracle.

Leslie Dixon
Jump to
Leslie Dixon, an American screenwriter and producer, is perhaps best known for the screenplay of the 1993 Oscar-winning family comedy "Mrs. Doubtfire." In the late 1980s, Dixon built a strong reputation as a comedic writer with screenplays for several humorous hits, including "Outrageous Fortune" and "Overboard" in 1997 and "Loverboy" in 1989. After working on "Mrs. Doubtfire," she wrote the screenplay for the 1999 remake of "The Thomas Crown Affair," starring Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo. Four years later, she wrote the script for another remake: "Freaky Friday," a comedy-fantasy about a mother and daughter who switch bodies for one day. She was nominated for a Saturn Award for her work on the film, which featured megastars Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. In 2011, Dixon penned the screenplay for the Neil Burger-directed mystery-thriller "Limitless," based on Alan Glynn's 2001 novel "The Dark Fields." The film stars Bradley Cooper as a struggling writer in New York City who discovers a drug that imbues him with superhuman powers. Dixon also wrote the script for the 2011 crime-action film "Tower Heist," the story of a group of workers who fall victim to a Wall Street tycoon's Ponzi scheme and plot to rob his high-rise residence and take back their pensions. Dixon is married to Tom Ropelewski, a screenwriter, director, and producer from Massachusetts.

Host to countless civilizations over
the ages, every corner of Anatolia contains
some cultural treasure. And thanks to
archaeological excavations, we are now
learning about the centuries-old past
of this land. What all has emerged already
from the depths of mother earth. Recall,
for example, what you've seen in
museum showcases: statues, coins, mosaics,
pottery, ceramics, decorative items of
every kind. In the light of these findings,
we are learning about the way of life,
culture, economies and societies of past
civilizations. And what about their cuisines?
What did people eat and drink thousands
of years ago? How did they prepare their
food? Is there any connection between
their food and drink and ours today? Archaeologists
are now finding definite answers to these
questions thanks to the rapidly developing
science of paleobotany. And their research
is documenting the existence of an extremely
rich cuisine in Anatolia even in the most
ancient times. According to humanities
professor Phyllis Pray Bober, the millstones
and bread ovens brought to light in Anatolia
point to the existence of an extensive
culinary culture.

High-speed pursuit ends with crash
A man driving a BMW reached speeds of more than 140 mph while fleeing from law enforcement Monday in Hesperia.
The chase ended in a crash on Highway 395 when Jacob Hall Wade, 39, lost control of the vehicle. Four people, including Wade, suffered injuries.
San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies tried to pull over Wade, who was seen speeding in a BMW 700 series east on Phelan Road at 12:03 a.m., according to authorities.
He passed a California Highway Patrol officer, who said the man was driving more than 140 mph. The CHP officer and deputies tried to catch up to the BMW.
Wade ran a red light at the intersection of Phelan Road and Highway 395, striking a Toyota Highlander sport utility vehicle.
The impact pushed the SUV into westbound lanes on Phelan Road, causing the vehicle to strike two stopped cars. The BMW slid 20 to 30 feet up the side of a hill.
Paramedics took three people to hospitals for treatment of minor to moderate injuries. Wade suffered serious injuries and was taken to Victor Valley Community Hospital.
Man killed in motorcycle crash
A Bloomington motorcyclist died when he lost control of his bike Monday night in Fontana.
Gary Grossich, 22, died in the 13000 block of west Jurupa Avenue, San Bernardino County coroner's officials said.
Fontana police said he was riding a 1998 Suzuki GSXR west on Jurupa Street east of Pacific Avenue at 8:29 p.m. when he crashed.
Parolee in custoday after check-cashing incident
Sheriff's deputies on Monday arrested a man after he tried to cash a $1,000 stolen check at a bank in Apple Valley, sheriff's officials said.
Jorge Stopani, 32, a parolee, stole a checkbook belonging to a Downey resident and wrote a check for $1,000. He brought it to a Wells Fargo Bank in the 12000 block of Apple Valley Road about 3 p.m., San Bernardino County sheriff's officials said.
When bank employees tried to verify the check, they discovered that it was among a series of checks stolen from the victim.
Stopani fled the bank before deputies arrived, but left evidence at the scene that led deputies to a home in the 22000 block of Nisqually Road in Apple Valley.
They searched a second home in the 18000 block of Vine Avenue in Hesperia where they found Stopani. Deputies booked him into West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga on suspicion of possessing stolen and forged checks.
Hazardous chemical prompts evacuation
Firefighters evacuated 20 employees from a Mira Loma business Monday after someone brought a container of hazardous chemicals to a fire station.
Cal Fire officials said a small container of calcium carbide was dropped off at Station 17 in the 10400 block of San Sevaine Way in Mira Loma at 4:49 p.m.
The substance can be used to make acetylene gas and is flammable when it comes in contact with water, Cal Fire officials said.
Firefighters evacuated a neighboring business as a precaution. The workers were near the end of their work day and were sent home.
Hazardous materials personnel removed the container from the fire station.

In the wee hours of Wednesday morning, a mysterious banner appeared that seemingly confirmed The Last of Us Remastered was coming to PS4. However, without an official announcement from Sony or developer Naughty Dog, many questioned whether the banner had appeared by mistake or if it was actually some sort of stealth reveal.
While we will likely never know what actually transpired, Naughty Dog has finally come out to confirm that, yes, The Last of Us will be making the jump to the PS4 in a Remastered edition. As well, the developer revealed that The Last of Us Remastered will hit digital storefronts and retail chains this summer.
Naughty Dog also confirmed the $60 price tag revealed by the banner, but promised that The Last of Us Remastered will be packed full of content. The PS4 re-release will include the excellent Left Behind DLC expansion, the Abandoned Territories multiplayer map pack, and a new pack called Reclaimed Territories that Naughty Dog will apparently talk more about very soon.
In addition to the previously released DLC, The Last of Us Remastered will also include a commentary track for all of the game's cinematics that features insight from Creative Director Neil Druckmann, Joel voice actor Troy Baker, and Ellie voice actor Ashley Johnson.
But wait, there's more! Any gamers who pre-order The Last of Us Remastered will unlock a handful of new upgrades for the single player campaign and for their multiplayer character including:
- 100 Supply Points (XP) for use in Factions mode
- Two special bonus skins for Joel and Ellie which will be unlocked after your complete the single player campaign
- Increased Crafting Speed for use in the Single Player Campaign
- Increased Healing Speed for use in the Single Player Campaign
- 9mm Reload Speed Increase Upgrade for use in the Single Player Campaign
- Rifle Clip Capacity Increase Upgrade for use in the Single Player Campaign
And if you pre-order directly from the PlayStation store, Sony will throw in early access to three higher level multiplayer skills and upgrades.
While the opportunity to re-experience one of the best reviewed games from this past console generation is certainly a major appeal for The Last of Us Remastered, the fact that Naughty Dog has developed this port in-house has us all the more impressed. In most cases, these HD (or in this case ultra-HD) remakes are passed off to a lesser-known developer, but clearly Naughty Dog wanted to do ensure they live up to fans' expectations.
We're still not completely sold on the idea of paying $60 for a re-release but we reckon there are a ton of fans out there that are. Not to mention those who never played The Last of Us on PS3. For those two groups, it sounds like Naughty Dog has put together a pretty substantial package.
Will you be picking up The Last of Us Remastered? Where does The Last of Us rank among last generation's games for you?
The Last of Us Remastered releases summer 2014 for the PS4.

Anyone used www.bmw-repair.com to repair failing E36 Climate-Control Unit?
My E36 Climate-Control Unit is failing (frequent on/offs, runs the AC when it feels like it, etc). I found a guy online who fixes them for $49 + shipping (www.bmw-repair.com). Has anyone used this company before? If so, any praises or concerns?
If you're up to it, here's an excellent DIY:
Cost less than $1.00, but a fair amout of fiddly work.
A little outdated but this place is completely unprofessional and a total scam. I emailed them my unit with $49 cash and the cost of return shipping. After a few days one of their main guys called me and informed me that my unit couldn't be fixed (I had previously tried to change the transistor myself and messed it up). I assumed that they would send me my unit back since I had covered the cost of return shipping and my return address.
After a week it still had not arrived so I called them. No one answered so I left a message asking for my unit back. Broken or not, I wanted to fill the gaping hole that was in my dashboard without the unit. No one ever got back to me so I called and left a message again. They never made an effort to get back to me, and they never sent the unit back.
I finally emailed them a few months later expressing that I was upset with their service. I told them that I felt like I had been scammed, and wanted my unit back, a refund, or some alternative. Their reply?
"SCAMMED? First of all, this is the first I heard from you since I explained that the return shipping needs to be paid. There was NO payment enclosed with the unit. I have no need and their is no value to your unit sitting on my shelf in the same box you sent it to us. "
I most definitely paid for the service and the cost of shipping, and his "explanation" to me is entirely fictional.
After a few exchanges, I ultimately explained that I did pay, I did make calls, and that they should have mailed me my unit back. I got this response:
"I never received phone calls or emails from you! Bottom line. I can check all my emails going back 3 years! You made no contact! So don't come busting my balls when I do this at cost for the community since I am in a class action law suit against BMW! Idiots like you make it hard for good deeds to go around for people who appreciate it. "
Bottom line: This guy is nuts, I'm only an "idiot" for trusting him in the first place, I'm out $60, there's still a gaping hole in my dashboard, and I am not looking forward to summer heat without my A/C.
I was going to ask how you stay warm, but then I saw you're from AZ...
I like the DIY approach. I've done soldering work on circuit boards of other cars I've owned and had great success. This actually seems pretty straightforward and easy.
I used bmw-repair.com, but I did it through ebay, and the service was quick, and my unit worked perfectly. Plus he only charges $34.00 plus the cost of shipping on ebay. If anyone needs to have this service done purchase it through ebay, because they keep track of all correspondence, and it shows that you paid for shipping through paypal. There can be no dispute. EamonOBrien I'm sorry to hear about your poor experience with them. If I were you, I would just send them the $6.50 to have him send your unit back to you. I know you don't want to pay for shipping twice, but at this point it seems like the cheapest alternative, other than not paying and having a gaping hole in your console.
Hello everyone. I did receive EamonOBrien's climate control unit which was severely hacked apart. I can not repair the damage that is caused when people pull on components from the board with pliers and render it useless! This unit was torn apart and useless. Probably one of the worst I have ever seen. I am very good at what I do. I repair thousands of these units even when they have had previous unsuccessful work attempted on them. My feedback on ebay speaks for itself. I tried to explain this to Mr Obrien however some people will not understand and expect you to do a miracle. I did not charge him and gave him a free evaluation of his unit and explained that I would need payment of $6.50 for the return shipping as I was not able to repair it. He refused and there it sat on my desk for months.
From a business point of view, you'd have been better off ignoring this and letting it die. Especially when you're not a registered vendor here, therefore have zero grounds to be advertising for yourself or your business.
Most especially when it is a thread 5 years old, bumped 2 years ago.
I've repaired 2 units replacing the capacitor, but they both showed the same, appropriate symptoms for that flaw. Not sure about this other guy who resurrected a nearly 2 year old gap on this thread.
I think it is hit and miss fix with replacing the cap. The cap maybe not the only component that can fail. I have replaced mine and the symptoms are still there but overall it is on more frequent than off --improved after cap swap!. For the cost of eBay repairman are charging, I recommend DIY and buy some equipment if you don't have it. It's really not so hard --perhaps some youtube video on a soldering tutorial will help before starting.
The first time it happened, I had to do something. It was summer in VA, and when the Climate Control unit was not working, it left the floor vents on full blast heat. I drove through Charlottesville on Rt. 29 business and hit all 18 stoplights in 114*F heat, with the heat on! I swear I lost 3 lbs in sweat that day.
I agree the cap is just one failure point, but after the swap the problem never came back so I considered it solved. If it wasn't fixed, I was just going to replace it. I think they're like $250 new or something...

Auto Body Technology (ABODY)
The field of Auto Body Technology is experiencing a period of growth and demand. As a result, Auto Body Technology students may find work in the fifth or sixth quarter and then enroll in a Co-op experience where they receive college credit, work experience, and a salary.
Auto Body Technicians are specialists in repairing or replacing damaged portions of automobile bodies and frames. They also restore, paint, and/or refinish complete automobiles.
Green River College offers a two-year Associate in Applied Science degree program that is certified by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF). This program trains students for immediate employment in the industry and could help them proceed into management and/or ownership of an auto body repair facility.
Graduates of the program will achieve competencies set forth by NATEF, the Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair (I-CAR), the National Institute for Automotive Excellence (ASE), and related education in the fields of leadership, human relations, and communication.
Students may also sign up for Auto Body classes and their prerequisites without pursuing the AAS degree. This enables interested students to gain specific skills.

When can new students enroll?
Entry into the program is possible on a space-available basis at the beginning of every quarter with instructor's permission. It is also possible to enroll and start classes after the quarter starts due to our variable credit format. Please contact an instructor.
All program applicants should have a desire to work on cars. New students are required to have an interview with the auto body instructor. You should be able to express yourself clearly and understand written instructions in textbooks and tests.
How long does the program take?
It depends on you. If you attend Green River full time, the Associate in Applied Science degree can be completed in six quarters. Night classes are also available. Students often find work in their fifth or sixth quarter, and are placed in a Co-op experience where they can receive college credit, work experience, and earn a salary.
Special fees
You should expect expenses of about $300 per quarter for coveralls, tools, and safety equipment.
What will contribute to success in the program?
A student needs numerical aptitude and the ability to concentrate, conceptualize, organize and remember details, and the ability to work on a team.
Special program notes
In Green River's Auto Body Technology Program you can:
- Learn through hands-on experience
- Get an experience similar to working at a real autobody/repair operation
- Earn credit for previous experience by demonstrating your skills
- Move through the program at your own pace, thanks to our competency-based curriculum
- Develop skills necessary to enter the field with a uniform level of competency in collision repair
- Learn skills and business techniques necessary to become self-employed, become a shop foreman, or work in a lead position in a shop
- Pursue the AAS degree or earn "certificates of completion" in each of the five Auto Body units (Abody 104-108)
- The Auto Body 100 class, Conduct/Safety Equipment, is a prerequisite to each of the other units
Does the program transfer to four-year schools?
The Associate in Applied Science degree may be transferred to four-year institutions. However, all transferability is at the discretion of the receiving institution. Careful planning with an advisor and coordination of courses with the college or university of your choice is advised, and available via the College Transfer Center
Employment outlook
Placement of graduates is excellent, with many students finding jobs in their fifth or sixth quarters. The Auto Body program at Green River maintains a great relationship with numerous local employers and is successful in placing most of the graduates. The high demand for workers in this field is nationwide. Journeyman collision repair technicians currently enjoy higher than average incomes that include competitive benefit packages.

The Cumbria shootings was a killing spree that occurred on 2 June 2010 when a lone gunman, Derrick Bird, killed 12 people and injured 11 others before killing himself in Cumbria, England. Alongside the two other mass murders since WW2, 1987 Hungerford massacre and the 1996 Dunblanemassacre, it is one of the worst criminal acts involving firearms in British history. He used a 12 guage double barrel shotgun, and a .22 calibre bolt action rifle. The general Background to the incident is at:
My aim in writing the article is to put some meat into a lot of contradictory firearms chat on The Vine, resulting from the recent massacre in the US and comparisons with the UK. What I have done is to give live video of the Parliamentary Select Committee on the Cumbria massacre setup to run the Inquiry going about some of its business, and a video of the full firearms committee. It includes evidence given by Peter Nickles, who was Attorney General for the District of Columbia in the US in 2010, and the latest Official UK Firearms deaths.
The committee videos below are a little long, about one hour each, however if you have an interest in what happened, the why's and wherefores , understanding the background culture, and related aspects etc, you will not get a better input, as its from "the horses mouth" as they say. There are many vested interests who will draw there own conclusions on this, and deductions, depending on their agenda; thus its always been, and will always be frankly.
I think the best way to illustrate the ethos and how it all works - remember that the approach is different in the UK, as its a Privilege not a Right to own a weapon - is give links to Parliamentary TV. In the three links I've selected the same Committee are taking evidence from Victims, Victims Families, UK agencies, and Peter Nickles, who was Attorney General for the District of Columbia in 2010.
The latter will be of particular interest I suspect as its a live recording of the Columbia Attorney General giving evidence to the UK Select Committee, so I listed that first :)
Colombia AttorneyGeneral (they had link troubles for the Live Video link for about the first two mins, its fine then) evidence to the Select Committee:
Parliamentary Select Committee, which includes statements from some families of those who lost relatives in the Cumbria Shootings. Its a sombre video, but its evidence direct from those directly affected by the shootings:
Parliamentary Select Committee, taking evidence immediately prior to Colombia Attorney General, this is a full Committee meeting
The related documents that give background:
UK NRA Website
UK NRA Quarterly Magazines going back 10 years or more, which will help give a flavour of UK Gun Owners, Clubs, Gun Sales et al, which will help put some meat on Gun Owner Culture and weapons

Electrical Questions? Ask an Electrician Online.
Hello. Welcome to Just Answer.
Can you stand by while I look up your timer Online?
Are you able to post photos of the box here, with all wires shown?
can stand by but posting photos might be a little difficult.
I can give you a description of the wiring inside the box.
Sure, that would be great.
The Hot is black and shared by another light switch. The load is single black to the light. I have a multi wire white twisted bundle and a bare copper wire bundle.
Did you tie the timer's white wire into the bundle of whites behind the switches? I'm still looking for info on your timer.
No haven't tried that as of yet. I have a photo of the box but I'm not sure how to load it to this sight.
Do you see a paper clip icon on a toolbar, near the box where you type your replies?
If you click the paper clip icon, it will allow you to browse to the location on your computer where the images are stored.
Yes. I'm trying to send the photo to my computer now.
If you touch the line black wire to the load black wire, does the light come on?
I can't imagine the bare copper wires are not referenced back to the ground bar at the panel, but it's possible. If that's the case, it would prevent the timer from working. However, the whites must be connected at the panel for sure, or nothing from that box would work.
If you have a good bare ground connection in the wall switch box, all the way back to the panel, then the timer should work with the timer's white lead connected to the bare grounds. But I wouldn't leave it connected that way. Timer white should connect to box whites.
OK, I would try connecting as instructions indicate, but putting timer white with the bundle of whites. Let me know if that works.
Honeywell's site is down right now... the page that has manuals, that is.
Ok, Let me run in there and try that. be back in short order.
Standing by.
Ok Tying the white wire into the bundle worked but only after also tying in the Neutral wire as well. Got power to the switch and to the light.
So it seems to be working properly now?
As of right now, yes. I have yet to attempt to program anything on the timer.
OK. Do you want me to stand by while you try to program it?
No, that might take a while. I need to put everything back into the box to keep the cat from trying to play with it. If all else fails I will get back on here and try again.
Very good. Is there anything else I can do for you at this time?
I don't think so. Thank you for your time especially on a Sunday. I will hit the Excellent Service button for you.
I really appreciate that. Enjoy your Mother's Day!
Good day to you and your family. Thanks again.
Thank you.
