Gangnam? I've been there
It's bad form to brag, but this is too good not to brag about: Apparently, the South Korean pop song "Gangnam Style" has crossed over to being a huge hit in the US. "Gangnam" refers to a neighborhood in Seoul–one I've been to. When I get back to the US in 6 months, I'll have [Read More…]

Demonstration: Creating Fillable Forms from Adobe InDesign
After I published my first entry on Acrobat 9 last week, I received some feedback on the demonstration that showed how to create fillable forms using Acrobat 9. I used my Windows computer, starting with a Microsoft Word document to create that demonstration. I now have a second demonstration, created for me by Ali Hanyaloglu, that shows a similar workflow, except, he started with an Adobe InDesign document and used his Macintosh computer. Enjoy!
Very interesting information. Thank you.
Great tutorial, easy to follow instructions. Thanks

Sporting Clays is one of three popular shooting sports where clay pigeons are shot with a shotgun for fun, practice or in matches.
Sporting Clays is the closest thing to actual field shooting of all shotgun sports. The sport dates back to England in the early 1900s when trap shooting used live pigeons. With the introduction of clay targets, the sport began to take on the popular form known today. But rather than using standardized distances, target angles and target sizes, sporting clays courses are designed to simulate the hunting of ducks, pheasants and even rabbits. A shooter may face a different shooting challenge in each session. Six different sizes of clay targets give the participant the experience of actual hunting conditions, so you can see why the sport is so popular with hunters.
By contrast, Trap Shooting is one of where there is only one "house" that releases targets and the shooters only move through 5 different positions. Trap is broken down into three categories: 16 yd singles, 16 yd doubles and, handicap which is shot between 19 and 27 yds. In singles each shooter takes one shot at five targets in each of the five positions in sequence and is shot while standing 16 yards back from the trap house. The trap that throws the clay pigeons rotates back and forth so it is impossible to know which way the target is going to come out. Handicap is the same as singles but shot from further away. You start at the 20 yd line and work your way back as your average improves over time. Parma Rod & Gun Club has Trap shooting facilities as well.
Skeet refers to an old Scandinavian word meaning "to shoot." It stands for a competitive target shooting sport that was invented in America in 1920 by several Massachusetts men who wanted to improve their aim before hunting season. Their system of simulating the flight pattern of live birds with the use of hand-propelled, inanimate targets began as a spirited game between hunters. Today, a modern version of that game has become an international sport in its own right for hunters and non-hunters alike. It is the fun of the game and the thrill of marksmanship that unites all skeet shooters. Like Trap, skeet has fixed several firing positions and two fixed "houses" that fire clay birds for the shooter.
We welcome all shooters who may legally bear arms, and do it safely. We fully expect that those shooters will accept the greater responsibility that accompanies owning and shooting firearms.
We will not accommodate those who wish to use skills acquired through our matches for criminal intent, or those that do not take safety seriously.
We also hope you will choose to join the Parma Rod & Gun Club to take advantage of our range and shooting pits. Membership in Parma Rod & Gun Club is not required to participate in Sporting Clays matches or practice sessions. Members will be asked to pay a $10.00 range fee for Sporting Clays matches, and $13 for non-members.

I lost a lot of weight but I still have extra flab / skin on my face as well as big hollow areas. What can I do to fix this? I am a 30 year old male. Do I have to have a face lift or is there some sort of injection I can use?

Doctor Answers 13
Options for my face after weight loss
Weight loss creates laxity in the skin that looks like sagging. From the picture that you provided, it appears that your skin still has good elasticity with no minimal laxity. You appear to have some residual fullness below your chin.
I would recommend that you consider lipocontouring of your neck in order to provide a sharper definition of your jawline and chin. I would also consider either some type of dermal filler like Juvederm in your cheeks or fat transfer in order to restore some of your natural volume.
Modified facelift may help patients after significant weight loss even if they're young.

Avoid facelift
Lost weight, now how do I fix my face?
Once your weight is stable, micro-fat grafts can improve the cheek hollows. In general 30-50% of the fat grafts last permanently. Temporary fillers will not provide a long term correction, nor will they ultimately be as cost effective. If there is significant skin laxity, a variation of a natural appearing lift in addition to the fat grafts would enhance the cosmetic result beyond what any type of filling alone will achieve.
It is important to realize that following the advice of anyone who would presume to tell you what to do based on limited 2 dimensional photos without taking a full medical history, examining you, feeling and assessing your tissue tone, discussing your desired outcome and fully informing you about the pros and cons of each option would not be in your best interest. Find a plastic surgeon that you are comfortable with and one that you trust and listen to his or her advice. The surgeon should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.

Weight loss and facial laxity
It is important to be at your ideal and stable body weight before undergoing any facial surgery. Homeless in the cheek area could be repaired with cheek implants inserted through intra-oral approach. Depending upon the amount of excess skin present in the face,neck and jowls, a mini lift or a neck lift may be needed

Facial hollowing after weight loss
Wait till your weight has stabilized. You will need a facelift combined with fat transfer to the face.

Facelift or cheeklift for sagging skin.
Flabby face
In addition to losing body fat ,or better stated, losing volume of your fat cells,you have had the same situation occurring with the fat in your face . Age 30 is a bit young to consider a facelift and even if that were done it might not fix your major problem which is loss of volume to the subcuaneous layers of the face. Fat transfer with fat cells taken from other areas of your body is a procedure that could be considered. It can also be done at the same time a facelift is done. Also injecting the atrophic areas with various prepared fillers can work . Have a consult with an experienced surgeon.

Indentured Servitude? GOP Lawmaker Wants To Tether Immigrants To The Dirtiest Jobs
A top conservative in the House of Representatives told NPR Thursday morning that he opposes bipartisan proposals to allow undocumented immigrants to earn a path to citizenship, but would support expanding a guest-worker program for immigrant-labor-dependent U.S. agriculture to ensure that farms have a steady stream of foreign labor to fulfill the dirtiest jobs.
The Senates bipartisan framework for immigration reform includes a separate track for agricultural workers, allowing them to earn a path to citizenship through a different process under our new agricultural worker program and lawmakers had previously considered proposals that would provide agricultural employers with a stable, legal labor force while protecting farmworkers from exploitative working conditions.
In light of current proposals for earned citizenship, Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) is concerned that legalized agricultural workers will take opportunity of their legal status to abandon back-breaking agricultural work and find jobs elsewhere, leaving farmers without a stable stream of labor. Youre going to have to have a program that assures those farms and those processing plants that there will be workers, he says. Because if you give them legal status, they can work anywhere in the United States theyre not going to necessarily work at the hardest, toughest, dirtiest jobs.
Immigration reform, then, could include a compromise that requires agricultural workers to remain in the industry for a pre-determined period of time and a new temporary worker program that ensures a constant supply of farm workers.

Actually, sharecropping slavery might be closer, 'cause something tells me there's plenty of loopholes to force these people to "stay on the farm" and I have an itching suspicion that it will be generational in nature.

5. He actually makes a point.
One of the primary arguments in favor of illegal immigration is that such immigrants "do jobs that Americans won't do."--presumably because of poor pay and conditions.
So granting citizenship to all of those doing "jobs that Americans won't do," (at extremely low wages and substandard conditions) suggests that a new crop of illegal aliens will soon be required.
The idea that we can sustain a modern day feudal system somehow, at no cost to us, seems a fantasy, either way.

And it's not just the whiz kids down in finance and accounting who have to be conversant with Microsoft Excel, either. Doesn't really matter which department it is, in fact, you have got to know your rows, columns and function to be able to, well, function. If writing is in Word and pitching is in PowerPoint, then number crunching is in Excel. Although you'd be barking up the wrong tree if you thought Excel was just about the numbers. Charts, spark lines, heat maps, SmartArt are all relatively non-numeric things that Excel is rather good at as well. And we haven't even started with all the hidden goodies that Excel keeps in store. The Developer ribbon, for example – that relatively little known store of Excel goodness. All of these things are applicable in all departments, all over the company.
Take human resources, for example. Want a neat little database of who's working in your company, and where they were previously, and what their phone number is, and who they report to, and on and on and on? You're thinking, at the very least, a nice little pivot table in Excel, and knowing database functions wouldn't hurt either. Plus, no matter which department you're in, you will, sooner or later, raise an invoice. Use one of those nice pre-formatted ones that Excel makes available – and if you don't know what I'm talking about, well, that's what online courses are for! Computing offer sheets, calculating severance pay, figuring out how to divvy out bonus pools across departments – ask Excel, and it shall deliver.
What about marketing, you might think by way of response. Surely those guys don't have to be familiar with Microsoft Excel? Au contraire, my friend. Keeping a list of prospective, current and past clients handy, and figuring out how your billing has changed over time, and linking customer tables with products purchased will require intimate familiarity with the magic spell that is VLOOKUP,

Boxing great Holyfield 'discovers' Sri Lanka
Page Tools
Sri Lanka was not on the map of four-time world heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield until the tsunamis devastated the island, a report said yesterday.
Holyfield, who did not know that such a country existed until the December 26 tsunami, was now here to help the battered victims start life again, the Daily Mirror newspaper said.
"The spirit of God is with me. I believe that people should not just see the disaster and stop at that but do something about it," said Holyfield who works closely with humanitarian aid organisation, Global Peace Initiative Group.
Holyfield was in Sri Lanka on Friday offering aid materials to victims and hoped that other international celebrities would come forward to help rebuild the devastated countries.
He, however, cautioned that aid must reach the needy only.
"Steps must be taken to ensure that the aid goes to the right people," the daily quoted Holyfield as saying.
Prior to Sri Lanka, Holyfield had gone to India to help in tsunami relief work.
The report said the former world champion came to know about Sri Lanka only after the disaster that killed more than 30,000 people and rendered another million homeless.
The daily said the boxer felt obliged to help, considering his own poor childhood days.

Denise Hamilton, whose phenomenal debut,
The Jasmine Trade, was an Edgar Award finalist that Michael Connelly hailed as gripping...intriguing...more than a good crime novel," brings back her tenacious heroine, Eve Diamond, in an electrifying new novel of suspense.
When a distraught father breaks past security to beg for her help, Los Angeles Times reporter Eve Diamond can't refuse. His daughter, caught up in the rough "squatter" lifestyle, is missing -- and Eve, sensing a scoop, wants to know why a privileged teen from Pasadena would hook up with the dregs of Hollywood. When the girl is found dead, Eve suspects there is more going on than the tragic death of a rebellious youth.
The search for answers will take Eve from the street world of drugs and sex to the upper echelon of L.A. society -- who don't appreciate her digging up their dirt. Even as Eve fights against the powers-that-be who want her off the story, she finds herself mixing business and pleasure when she's irresistibly drawn to the brooding son of a Mexican music titan. For it is in his world -- and in the intricate sugar skulls that mark the Mexican "Day of the Dead" -- that Eve may find the key to unmasking a killer....
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
You can spot Denise Hamilton's journalistic background in the inquisitive, meticulous way she plumbs the economic and ethnic strata of Los Angeles, the setting of her second Eve Diamond mystery, Sugar Skull. As in her previous book, The Jasmine Trade, which dealt with Asian gangsters and undersupervised teens susceptible to criminal influence, Sugar Skull contrasts seemingly disparate, yet intersecting social realms as it illuminates a metropolis in transition.
"All over town, people were dying violently," observes L.A. Times reporter Diamond at this tale's start. In other words, it's a typical weekend in California's largest city, with most of the deceased barely earning a mention in print. But Isabel Chevalier is different. A 15-year-old prep-school student, she's taken to slumming with runaway street kids, so when she disappears suddenly, her worried father seeks Diamond's help. Too late: Isabel is found murdered in an abandoned building. Sniffing a good story, Diamond tracks down the homeless youths who knew Isabel best, including the feral but oddly magnetic Finch "Mad Dog" Marino and an abused girl called Scout, who revs up the reporter's maternal instincts. At the same time, Diamond has another scoop on the hook, involving the suspicious demise of a mayoral candidate's "super-socialite" wife, who--in hypocritical disregard of her hubby's "family values" platform--has been cavorting with another man. Hamilton's smoothly paced yarn sends Eve from a riverside transvestite camp to Latino nightclubs to the hyper-competitive arena of her newsroom, yet leaves her time (and breath) enough to tryst with a somber Hispanic music promoter amid L.A.'s Day of the Dead festivities. Although readers may cringe at this novel's trite portrayals of spin-mad politicians, Diamond's rough-cut charm and perspicacity, plus Hamilton's thoughtful focus on race and homelessness, make Sugar Skull a sweet read. --J. Kingston PierceAbout the Author:
Denise Hamilton is a Los Angeles-based writer-journalist whose work has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Wired, Cosmopolitan, Der Spiegel, and New Times. During her ten years with the Los Angeles Times, she worked as a suburban reporter, covering the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe, the breakup of the Soviet Union, and burgeoning youth movements in Japan. A Fulbright scholar, she taught in the former Yugoslavia during the Bosnian War. Her first Eve Diamond novel, The Jasmine Trade, was a finalist for the Edgar, Anthony, Macavity, and Willa awards. Her new Eve Diamond novel, Last Lullaby, will be available soon in hardcover from Scribner. She lives in a Los Angeles suburb with her husband and two young children.

If a plant its laid on its side, the stem will soon start to bend upward again. This movement (geotropism) is a response to the force of gravity. The stem is said to be negatively geotropic. Roots are generally positive geotropic and grown downward. Phototropisms are bending movements in response to the direction of illumination. Stems are generally positively phototropic (bend toward the light). Most roots are negatively phototropic, although some appear unaffected by light. Some roots exhibit positive hydrotropism: they bend toward moisture. This response is more powerful than the response to gravity; roots can be deflected from their downward course if the plants are watered only on one side.
Tropisms are controlled by differences in concentration of growth hormones. See also auxins.

In addition, April Heinrichs, USSF Technical Director for Women's National teams will be in attendance to observe the players.
U.S. Soccer Training Centers are designed to replicate national team training camps. As the National Governing Body of soccer in the United States, and under the auspices of the United States Olympic Committee, they are empowered and charged with developing the teams that represent the United States in all international competitions such as the Olympics and World Cup. The Training Center Program is an integral part of this process.
Congrats Girls!

When questions arise about the threat of tornadoes to Perimeter Technology's Oklahoma City data center, Todd Currie has answers at the ready.
Perimeter's vice president of operations and general manager, Currie even has a cutout sample of the data center's roof to use as proof of the sturdiness of the facility, which was built to withstand an EF3 tornado. In the middle range on the Enhanced Fujita scale of tornado strength, whose ratings go from EF0 to EF5, an EF3 tornado has winds of 136 to 165 miles per hour.
There are good reasons for potential customers to ask the commercial data center provider about the threat of tornadoes.

Tom Brokaw weighed in on New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's keynote speech on Tuesday night, and wondered why the first night of convention speeches included little mention of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
After analyzing Christie's speech with MSNBC's Chris Matthews and David Gregory, Brokaw said he found it "striking" that those who spoke on Tuesday night, including Ann Romney and Christie, did not mention President George W. Bush's 8 years in office or "the two longest wars in America's history, Afghanistan and Iraq."
Brokaw continued, saying that the two wars were "started by the Republican party and promoted by them in the early stages, with the assent of the Democratic Congress and Democratic Senate."
He also pointed out that U.S. soldiers were killed in Afghanistan by Afghan security forces in recent days.

Call for Participation
IEEE P2030.101™ Working Group
The IEEE Standards Association Working Group (WG), Time Synchronization Design - IEEE Recommended Practice for the Design, Installation and Monitoring of Time Synchronization Systems for Power Utility Substations
invites all interested parties to participate in the development of IEEE P2030.101™ Guide for Designing a Time Synchronization System for Power Substations.
The IEEE P2030.101 guide will cover the design, installation, and monitoring of time synchronization systems in power utility substations. The guide includes systems that use time sources such as Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) and time distribution systems such as Inter-Range Instrumentation Group –B (IRIG-B), Network Time Protocol /Simple Network Time Protocol SNTP (NTP/SNTP), and IEEE C37.238™.
This guide will assume that the time source and the Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) have accurate clocks.
Time synchronization is now critical to the smart grid. With substations using legacy systems and new standards for network time synchronization, a guide is needed to ensure adequate system design is undertaken to support the applications relying on accurate and reliable time.
We are seeking systems users, time system designers, substation designers, protection engineers, and automation engineers to participate in the development of this project.
If you would like to join the IEEE P2030.101 WG, and participate in the development of the standard, we ask that you please

Lincoln, Neb. » Four years ago, Kristina Baskett didn't hide her awe at sharing the NCAA uneven bars title with former Olympian Courtney Kupets.
Sharing an award with someone she'd idolized would be one of the highlights of her collegiate career, she said then.
Little did she know, four years later, she'd still be sharing a stage and being compared to Kupets, who is now a senior for Georgia.
Kupets is ranked No. 1 in the all-around and on the uneven bars, with Baskett ranked second on both.
While the two won't compete at the same time today, they are the favorites for the NCAA all-around title, which will naturally bring special attention to their individual scores throughout the preliminary competition.
The Utes haven't had an NCAA all-around champion since Theresa Kulikowski won in 1999. Kupets won the award in 2006 and 2007 and was having another champion-like year in 2008 before she tore her Achilles' tendon.
UCLA's Tasha Schwikert won the all-around title last year while Baskett was third behind teammate Ashley Postell.
"To just be in that position right now where people are thinking about me in that regard, that I could win is crazy," Baskett said. "It reflects how much I have improved here. I have to take a step back and think, 'OK, I do belong.' If it happens to be my night, that would be cool, too."
As nice as it would be to win the title, Baskett said she is focusing on helping the Utes qualify for the Super Six, not any individual goal.
"Courtney is a freakishly amazing gymnast, and I mean that in the best way possible," Baskett said. "But there are so many gymnasts who could have one of their best meets and win. I hope I have my second-best meet Thursday, then have my best on Friday."
Kupets echoed Baskett's thoughts of putting the team competition first, but said she knows full well Baskett is capable of the kind of gymnastics it takes to win the all-around.
"She is a gorgeous gymnast who has great form," she said. "That is the kind of gymnastics I like, when it looks nice and easy and is done to the perfection that she does it."
Georgia's Courtney Kupets and Utah's Kristina Baskett are ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the all-around. Here is a breakdown of their regional qualifying scores.
Event Kupets Baskett
All-Around 39.72 39.62
Vault 9.94 9.94
Uneven bars 9.965 9.93
Balance beam 9.955 9.87

About Treatment options Clinical trials
from the NCI PDQ (Physician Data Query)
Gastric cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the lining of the stomach.
The stomach is a J-shaped organ in the upper abdomen. It is part of the digestive system, which processes nutrients (vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and water) in foods that are eaten and helps pass waste material out of the body. Food moves from the throat to the stomach through a hollow, muscular tube called the esophagus. After leaving the stomach, partly-digested food passes into the small intestine and then into the large intestine.
The wall of the stomach is made up of 3 layers of tissue: the mucosal (innermost) layer, the muscularis (middle) layer, and the serosal (outermost) layer. Gastric cancer begins in the cells lining the mucosal layer and spreads through the outer layers as it grows.
Stromal tumors of the stomach begin in supporting connective tissue and are treated differently from gastric cancer. See the PDQ summary on Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors Treatment for more information.
For more information about cancers of the stomach, see the following PDQ summaries:
Age, diet, and stomach disease can affect the risk of developing gastric cancer.
Anything that increases your risk of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Having a risk factor does not mean that you will get cancer; not having risk factors doesn't mean that you will not get cancer. Talk with your doctor if you think you may be at risk. Risk factors for gastric cancer include the following:
Possible signs of gastric cancer include indigestion and stomach discomfort or pain.
These and other symptoms may be caused by gastric cancer. Other conditions may cause the same symptoms.
In the early stages of gastric cancer, the following symptoms may occur:
In more advanced stages of gastric cancer, the following symptoms may occur:
Check with your doctor if you have any of these problems.
Tests that examine the stomach and esophagus are used to detect (find) and diagnose gastric cancer.
The following tests and procedures may be used:
One or more of the following tests may be done on the samples of tissue that are removed:
Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options.
The prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options depend on the following:
When gastric cancer is found very early, there is a better chance of recovery. Gastric cancer is often in an advanced stage when it is diagnosed. At later stages, gastric cancer can be treated but rarely can be cured. Taking part in one of the clinical trials being done to improve treatment should be considered. Information about ongoing clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.

City of Eureka working to address homelessness issues in Green Belt
EUREKA- A shooting over the weekend in Eureka has left two injured in an area filled with homeless encampments.
On Saturday, Eureka Police received a report of shots fired in the Green Belt, near the foot of Del Norte Street. When officers arrived, they found a man, Billy Rutherford, with a head wound. They later received a call from St. Joseph Hospital for a report of another man, Euguene Fulton, being shot in the leg.
"I don't know their status of whether they're housed or un-housed. But at that time of the morning, in the green belt, one could assume that they were probably down there all night," said Police Chief Andrew Mills with the Eureka Police Department.
The victims did not cooperate with authorities and there are no suspects at this time. The Green Belt area, where the shootings occurred, is frequently patrolled EPD officials.
"We're doing a level of enforcement behind the mall and in the Green Belt, up Del Norte as well as all the way up to Hilfiker Lane. So what we'll do is go in there and look for people with warrants, people with drugs, people under the influence, people with weapons, and then take them to jail," Chief Mills said.
But clearing out the encampments all at once is not an option, according to Chief Mills.
"There have been lawsuits all over the state and all over the county where enforcement on a specific population, such as the homeless, has gone too far. So we're trying to do things to affect the behavior. In the meantime, while seeking help to find housing for the people who are truly in need. So it just can't be one enforcement opportunity,"said Chief Mills.
Between the Community Homeless Improvement Project, a City of Eureka and Humboldt County initiative, as well as other available services, Chief Mills says the city is heading in the right direction.
"Over the past several years, working with Betty Chin, working with Health and Human Services, more than a thousand people have gone to their own homes in different parts of the United States. That has been because people have funded Betty Chin. That is because Health and Human Services has been gracious in giving those people money to get back to where they would like to be," Chief Mills said.

KOSOVSKA MITROVICA, KOSOVO – Kosovo's Serb minority unilaterally founded a regional assembly Thursday to protest against steps by Serbia recognizing the breakaway Pristina government.
The move challenges an April 19 deal brokered by the European Union that forces Serbia to normalize ties with Kosovo, which declared independence in 2008. In return, Belgrade would get to start EU accession talks and the 40,000 ethnic Serbs who live in northern Kosovo would be granted some level of autonomy.
Under the EU-brokered deal, Kosovo Serb chiefs were supposed to create an association of Serb-majority municipalities in Kosovo scheduled to be formed after local polls Nov. 3.
"We will not take part in the November elections, we have our legally chosen representatives," said Slavko Stevanovic, who was picked to head the new body by 97 deputies.
The Kosovo Serbs' move was not backed by Serbia. "The assembly goes against the accord and I do not see what weight it could have without Belgrade's support," said Milovan Drecun, a top Serbian official.

Short History of the Castle
The beginnings of Podhorce are unknown, but in 1440 they belonged to the Podhorecki family. This is documented by the entry in "Sumariusz Dokumentow do Dobr Podhoreckich". In the beginning of the 17th Century Podhorce belonged to the Koniecpolski family. In the 1682 the son of the Hetman gave Podhorce to the King Jan III Sobieski. His son Prince Konstanty sold Podhorce in 1720 to Stanislaw Mateusz Rzewuski. When in 1767 Hetman Wielki Koronny Waclaw Rzewuski was deported to Kaluga(Even in those days Poles were deported to Siberia) his son Leon sold Podhorce to the Prince Wladyslaw Sangusz.
The initiator of building of the castle in the first half of the 17th Century was Hetman Stanislaw Koniecpolski. The building of the castle in the years of 1635-40 was directed by Wilhelm Beauplan. This was a house of two stories in the renesance style, surrounded by a moat.

text: A Google move into the lending referral business would be one more step away from its core business, said Rob Enderle, an analyst for the Enderle Group. "It could represent a solid threat to LendingTree, and a distraction for Google," Enderle said. LendingTree, a unit of Tree.com Inc., announced the lawsuit on Wednesday, a day after it was filed in U.S. District Court in Charlotte, North Carolina, where the company is based. The lawsuit seeks an injunction against a company called Mortech Inc., which helps automate pricing by lenders who are offering loans. The lawsuit says Mortech works for lenders, not for LendingTree. But LendingTree claims Mortech signed an agreement limiting its ability to make pricing searches available to other online loan aggregators. LendingTree claims Mortech has broken that agreement by giving data related to mortgage offers to Google in connection with Google's testing. "In the course of its collaboration with Google, Mortech will inevitably disclose the confidential, proprietary, and secret information that it has about LendingTree," LendingTree claims in the court papers. A Mortech spokeswoman as well as Google declined to comment on the lawsuit. A court hearing is planned for Sept. 2.

Jewish National Fund to Honor Mayor Sam Massell at 3rd Annual Jack Hirsch Memorial Breakfast
Contact: Steven Green • Director/ Campaign Executive • JNF Southeast Regional Office • 404-236-8991 • firstname.lastname@example.com
April 12, 2006— Atlanta, GA— Sam Massell, former Mayor of Atlanta and president of the Buckhead Coalition, will be honored at the 3rd annual Jewish National Fund (JNF) Jack Hirsch Memorial Breakfast on Wednesday, May 10, 2006 at The Temple in midtown Atlanta.
The breakfast, co-chaired by Mark Scheinfeld and Shellie Travis, will begin at 7:30 a.m. and will include a presentation by keynote speaker Gil Hoffman, political correspondent and columnist for The Jerusalem Post.
The Jack Hirsch Memorial Award is given each year to a member of the Atlanta community who has demonstrated outstanding leadership and a commitment to the mission of JNF.
As the first Jewish mayor of the city of Atlanta from 1969-1973, Sam Massell helped promote a strong relationship between Israel and the United States through a visit to Israel with the United States Conference of Mayors. He also brought the "Sister City" program to Atlanta, which eventually led to a partnership between Atlanta and the Israeli city of Ra'anana.
Under Massell's leadership, the Buckhead Coalition established a tree incentive program that helps business and home owners cover the cost of tree landscaping on private property. One stipulation: trees must be planted between the front of the buildings and the street so that the entire community can enjoy their beauty.
All proceeds from the Jack Hirsch Memorial Breakfast will benefit JNF's development of a park on Kibbutz Nir Am in the Western Negev. The park will be built with two separate play areas—one geared towards toddlers and young children and one for older children—and will provide a gathering place for parents and children of the kibbutz and neighboring communities.
The project is very near to Massell's heart. "I know the importance of green space, of open space," he said. One of his first acts as mayor was to remove the signs in Piedmont and Grant Parks that warned visitors to stay off of the lawns. "Grass," said Massell, "is for running and playing."
The development of Nir Am Park is part of JNF's Blueprint Negev, the initiative to bolster existing Negev communities like Kibbutz Nir Am and develop new communities, making the desert a hospitable, habitable environment that will become home to an additional 250,000 people over the next five years.
The Temple is located at 1589 Peachtree Street NE in Atlanta, Georgia. For more information about the JNF Jack Hirsch Memorial Breakfast, please contact Steven Green at 404-236-8991 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Mononucleosis. It was the worst diagnosis a cross country runner can hear at the start of the season.
The disease would knock even the most ardent runners off their course, but it seemed to only embolden Redondo's Kayla Ferron.
Ferron overcame her early bout with the disease and enjoyed a spectacular senior campaign, one that included a Bay League individual crown, top-10 finishes at the CIF Southern Section and CIF state finals and a 10 th-place finish at the Foot Locker West Regionals.
"It's kind of a weird thing to say now, but I'm kind of glad I had mono," said Ferron, the 2012 Daily Breeze Runner of the Year. "It gave me a different perspective."
Ferron said her first race at the Great Cow Run in Cerritos was an eye-opener.
"It wasn't a bad race, but I expected to do better," Ferron said. "Going into the summer, I thought everything was going to come easily. That race made me realize that I had to keep working hard the rest of the season to maintain the training needed to be a top runner."
The University of Arizona-bound Ferron enjoyed quite a postseason run.
It began when she won the Bay League finals at Polliwog Park in 17:40.
Ferron then earned a ninth-place finish at the CIF Southern Section Division II finals in 16:42 on the Mt. SAC rain course.
Her mark of 18:06 at the CIF State Division II finals was the South Bay's best and earned a seventh-place state medal.
Ferron capped a remarkable campaign with a 10 th-place finish in 18:52 on the 5 K Balboa Park course at the Foot Locker West Regionals.
Even with Ferron's resurgent season, Redondo finished as league runner-up to Mira Costa and placed one spot behind Mira Costa at the CIF State finals.
"I wish we could've placed higher as a team, but I still love this team," Ferron said. "We had such a young team, and I'm so proud of everyone. These girls were amazing. It was a good year overall."

To all of you who experience this problem: the next time it goes
down, please check your system log for messages like
"swap_pager_getswapspace: failed". That would indicate a memory leak

Every now and then somebody will raise the subject of finding a
'better' name for ScummVM, one that fits better with its modern
scope (which extends well beyond SCUMM games). So here we present you
with some nice alternatives. Choose whichever suits you best -- but
we will stay ScummVM.

I want to have fun with and grow close to someone who has that special something behind her eyes. Like many I know the pains of loneliness, now I want to find someone to share the joy of companionship with. Above all it must be fun and full of laughter.
Yes I'm looking for love, but I understand that friendship must come first. I'm a good and loyal friend and I do what I can to be someone to rely on.
So let me treat you right and lets enjoy the journey to see what might happen.
P.S. Sucker for a girl with a big heart.
Bottom line is. I rule my life, nothing controls me.
That being said, decide for yourself should we ever meet.

Public-Private Partnerships
Working with the University
Care must be taken to insure no conflict of interest occurs between the need for contributing to economic development and the mission of teaching, scholarship, and public service of the University. University contributions to economic development will include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Providing space and services at a fair market price for the purpose of incubating new and existing profit and not-for-profit organizations. The services might well include: availability of chemical stores, telephone service, computing equipment, graphic arts, etc. In order to cooperate and collaborate with a private sector organization, the University may forgo immediate payment in the form of indirect costs, rent, or sales, in exchange for stock or a share of anticipated income.
- The University will work with private and governmental economic development organizations as those organizations seek to attract new industries to the State or help to expand existing enterprises. In this effort, the University may provide services as a contribution to Montana's economic development, or may charge for the services as appropriate.
- The University will cooperate with faculty seeking to develop private enterprises, which may include the renting of facilities in those cases where the University believes such rental is in the best interest of the University and to the economic development of the State. Such cooperation will have as its prime focus technology transfer. In all cases, no conflict of interest will be permitted between the responsibility of a faculty member and the individual's role in private enterprise

Two Latin American leaders, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and Bolivia's Evo Morales, expelled the U.S. ambassadors to their nations after claiming that the American embassies in both countries were supporting rebel groups aimed at toppling their governments. Salvador Allende and Jacobo Arbenz were unavailable for comment.
The New York Times:
President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela said Thursday that he was expelling the American ambassador, Patrick Duddy, giving him 72 hours to leave the country. Mr. Chávez took this step after he said his government had discovered an American-supported plot by military officers to topple him.
He also recalled his ambassador to Washington, Bernardo Álvarez, and explained his decision by expressing solidarity with Bolivia's embattled president, Evo Morales, who on Wednesday expelled the American ambassador there, Philip S. Goldberg, accusing him of supporting rebellious groups in eastern Bolivia..
"When there is a new government in the United States, we'll send an ambassador," Mr. Chávez said, using an expletive to refer to Americans.
Morales, left, and Chavez have expelled the U.S. ambassadors from their countries. Chavez says he will re-establish diplomatic relations when the new U.S. administration comes to power.

Jack Van Deventer
John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) changed the Church more dramatically than most people realize.
We have today legions of pastors, missionaries, and parachurch ministers who tell willing flocks that
the end-times are upon us, our only hope is the secret rapture, and cultural transformation is futile.
These well-meaning individuals would like us to believe that such teachings are the obvious conclusion of
a simple, literal interpretation of the Bible. Mr. Darby started the Church thinking along these

Coolest Parents Ever Recreate Beastie Boys "Sabotage" Video
As much as it pains my Brooklyn heart to say this, this little video from a couple of cool Portland parents might just score extra points in the Portland vs. Brooklyn battle.

Moon moves toward preservation plan
When the Polo Club apartments were being built about 20 years ago on Beaver Grade Road, Moon officials worked with the developer to place the units around a century-old tree on the grounds.
"If we didn't know that old tree was there, it wouldn't have been preserved," said Lora Dombrowski, the township's code administrator.
Moon has since looked at preserving the Mooncrest neighborhood, built during World War II for workers at a Neville Island landing craft factory. Dombrowski said a state historical official told her that the township needs to develop a plan "to say what's worth preserving and what's just old."
At the behest of its historic architectural review board, the township is doing just that.
The next step is an informational meeting scheduled for 5:30 p.m. July 24 in the municipal building, 1000 Beaver Grade Road. Consultants will present an inventory of about 150 potential resources and accept residents' comments.
Dombrowski said the study's purpose isn't to impose rules for what owners must do with their properties.
"We wanted this for a planning tool," Dombrowski said. "We're trying to educate people so they'll want to do things on their own."
Despite its reputation as a relatively new community with modern homes and office buildings, Moon is the oldest township in Allegheny County. It was founded in 1788 as one of the county's original municipalities.
Tracy Zinn, principal with township consultants T&B Planning of Murrysville, said her firm shared the list of resources with officials in June. A draft of a preservation plan should be available by late fall, she said.
Laura Ricketts, architectural historian with Skelly & Loy, a Downtown subcontractor to T&B, said three "major moments" in Moon history spurred construction:
• The 19th century, when agriculture was the focus and farmhouses were built.
• The early 20th century, when wealthy industrialists built summer homes and people of lesser means built smaller homes along main roads. Large summer homes included the Roselea estate; the Hyeholde, which now is a restaurant; and the Nimick estate, now part of Robin Hill Park. Ricketts said there were a number of smaller homes with distinctive architectural styles, such as Tudor and Craftsman.
• The post-World War II period, when subdivisions linked to township highways and the former Greater Pittsburgh International Airport were built.
"The entire country is grappling with this" more recent period, as 50-year-old were are considered now to have historical value, Ricketts said.
Other historical resources include the many oil and gas wells in Moon, the former one-room Boggs School, and the large fireplace of the house off Pillar Drive that belonged to early township settler Joshua Meeks.
"The survey is not meant to privilege big, fancy single-family homes," Ricketts said. "We're trying to get the full flavor (of the township)."

Staff Coordinator: Kit Fox, AICP, Senior Planner
Review the current status of border issues and provide direction to Staff, as appropriate.
This month's report includes:
The following is the regular monthly report to the City Council on various "border issues" potentially affecting the residents of Rancho Palos Verdes. The complete text of the current status report is available for review on the City's website at:
Current Border Issues
South Coast County Golf Course, County of Los Angeles/Rolling Hills Estates
On March 7, 2005, Councilmember Gardiner forwarded the attached e-mail from the president of the Country Hills Homeowners' Association to the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), requesting information about the composition of the existing landfill cap. Country Hills is the Torrance neighborhood located to the north of and directly below the former Palos Verdes Landfill site. Staff has also received the attached additional e-mails and information from Joan Davidson of South Bay CARES. The attached "letter to the editor" from the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts appeared in the March 12, 2005 issue of the Peninsula News. Finally, Staff received the attached response from DTSC to our letter of February 17, 2005.
Ponte Vista Project at Former Navy Housing Site, Los Angeles (San Pedro)
The Navy issued another amendment to the Invitation for Bids (IFB) on February 25, 2005, to increase the minimum bid increment from $500,000 to $1,000,000, again in an apparent effort to end the auction more quickly. Shortly thereafter, more than three (3) months after it began, the on-line auction for the Ponte Vista property ended on March 7, 2005. The high bid of $88,000,000—which equates to nearly $2,100,000 per acre—was submitted by "guildmortge" and the second highest bidder was "richmar." The high bidder is only guaranteed to receive a 41.95-acre portion of the 61.53-acre property, with the remaining balance of the property to be conveyed to the designated homeless services providers (HSPs) unless alternate agreements are reached between the high bidder and the HSPs. The actual identities of the two highest bidders had not been revealed by the time this report was completed. Also, in the attached Daily Breeze article of March 9, 2005, Los Angeles City Councilwoman Janice Hahn—in whose district the Ponte Vista property is located—was quoted as supporting the inclusion of Little League fields in the future residential development project. Staff will continue to monitor the progress of the sale through the close of the 60-day escrow period, including the status of any alternate agreements that may be reached between the final high bidder and the HSPs.
Peninsula Village Overlay Zone, Rolling Hills Estates
On February 28, 2005, the City Council and Planning Commission of Rolling Hills Estates held a second joint meeting to discuss the development standards and design guidelines for the proposed Peninsula Village Overlay Zone (PVOZ), formerly known as the Downtown Master Plan (see attached Daily Breeze and Peninsula News articles). The meeting was well attended by residents, business owners, developers, real estate professionals and other stakeholders in and surrounding the Peninsula Center area. The City Council and Planning Commission were asked to review and comment upon the latest proposal for development standards and design guidelines, and to direct Staff to initiate the preparation of a Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) to evaluate the environmental impacts of the PVOZ.
With respect to the proposed development standards for the PVOZ, the Peninsula Center area is still proposed to be divided into four (4) districts with differing development standards based upon the orientation of the parcels in each district to the existing major roadways (i.e., Silver Spur Road and Deep Valley Drive). The properties fronting "Little" Silver Spur Road are proposed to be designated as District 1 (see attached development standards and diagram). Rancho Palos Verdes residents live immediately north of District 1 in the Peninsula Rim community. As currently proposed, the District 1 standards would allow residential densities of up to forty (40) units per acre and structures up to forty-four feet (44') in height (reduced from the previous proposal of sixty-five feet (65')). Other properties along the north side of Silver Spur Road—including the former Cal Fed and ARCO sites—would now be included in District 3, which would allow residential densities of up to thirty-five (35) units per acre and structures up to forty-four feet (44') in height. Currently, RHE mixed-use development standards would allow residential densities of up to twenty-two (22) units per acre and structures up to forty-four feet (44') in height in Districts 1 and 3. The PVOZ development standards also propose to establish a minimum lot coverage requirement in Districts 1 and 3 that is at least one-third (⅓) higher than the maximum lot coverage currently allowed.
The RHE City Council and Planning Commission discussed the proposed PVOZ development standards and design guidelines at some length, and heard testimony from several attendees (including Rancho Palos Verdes residents and Staff). They eventually directed their Staff to initiate the PEIR for the proposal, but asked that the project description be amended to limit District 2 (i.e., the existing Town & Country shopping center) to only commercial uses; to remove the current mixed-use overlay zoning for the remainder of the Peninsula Center area (including the Peninsula Center shopping center and the Avenue of the Peninsula mall); and to include minimum commercial area requirements and additional property line setbacks in District 1. The RHE City Council was expected to review and approve the revised project description on March 22, 2005.
New Border Issues
Joint Cal Water-West Basin MWD-Edison Infrastructure Project, Rolling Hills Estates
The City Council may recall that California Water Service Company (CWSC) made a presentation regarding its master plan for the Palos Verdes District on February 17, 2004. Part of this plan envisioned placing two (2) new water mains under Palos Verdes Drive North to replace an existing line serving the westerly Peninsula (the so-called "D-500 System"); and to supplement existing supply lines to the existing reservoirs at the top of the Peninsula (the so-called "Ridge System"). The Council may also recall that a previous Border Issue upon which the City commented in 2003 was the Harbor-South Bay Water Recycling Project, proposed jointly by the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and the West Basin Municipal Water District (WBMWD) to provide reclaimed water for irrigation purposes. One of the proposed lines for this project (Lateral 6B) would be placed under Palos Verdes Drive North to serve existing and proposed golf courses and parks in Rolling Hills Estates, Palos Verdes Estates and County territory, as well as Green Hills Memorial Park in Rancho Palos Verdes. Adding to these water line projects is a plan by Southern California Edison (SCE) to underground existing utility lines along Palos Verdes Drive North between Rolling Hills Road and Montecillo Drive. All of these projects would require construction within the public right-of-way of Palos Verdes Drive North, which is already severely impacted by traffic during peak-hour periods.
On February 22, 2005, the Rolling Hills Estates City Council heard a joint presentation by CWSC, WBMWD and SCE representatives of plans to coordinate these three infrastructure projects as a single, large project (see attached Daily Breeze and Peninsula News articles). The traffic control measures proposed to accomplish these combined projects would involve phased closures of segments of Palos Verdes Drive North over a period of at least fifteen (15) months, assuming 2-shift, 16-hour workdays. Although controlled local access to residences, businesses and schools along Palos Verdes Drive North would be maintained throughout the project, both local and through traffic would be detoured at various times onto Hawthorne Boulevard, Crenshaw Boulevard, Rolling Hills Road, Palos Verdes Drive East/Narbonne Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway.
Both the RHE City Council and members of the public had significant concerns about the proposed project. Of primary concern were the justification for elements of the project; and the number and scope of possible alternatives considered. At the conclusion of the workshop, it was the City Council's consensus that additional public workshops were necessary, as was the preparation of a formal Initial Study (IS) to identify all of the environmental effects of the proposed project. Staff intends to continue to monitor this project, and to review and comment upon the IS once it is completed.

Samsung (SSNLF) had high hopes for its Galaxy Gear. The 2013 release was the first smartwatch from a big consumer electronics giant. The Galaxy Gear meant Samsung was first to market, ahead of Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG) and Microsoft (MSFT) — all of which are suspected to be furiously working on smartwatches of their own.
The problem is, Samsung made a number of mistakes with the Galaxy Gear, from the single-day battery life, to the camera embedded awkwardly in the wristband, the lack of compatibility with its own smartphones and the steep $299 price tag.
The result? Sales were dismal and of the few Samsung managed to move off shelves, a whopping 30% were returned by unhappy buyers.
But Samsung is nothing if not determined. Just five months after releasing the Galaxy Gear, Samsung introduced the next generation Galaxy Gear smartwatches, just prior to the start of the Mobile World Congress event in Spain.
Here's what you need to know:
