Every year Becky Mattson watches her land on the north shore of Flathead Lake shrink a little more. The losses come during the summer and fall, when the dam at the far end of the lake keeps the water level highest.
"All the people between the [Flathead] river and Big Fork are eating out and eating out," Mattson says. "My property used to be 70 acres. When I bought it there was 35 acres. Now there's only 25 acres left."
So three years ago, Mattson and a group of other property owners on the north shore filed suit against Montana Power Company after getting no response to their $18.2 million claim of property damage caused by erosion.
Montana Power operated Kerr Dam, which is located a few miles south of where the river exits the lake, for hydroelectric power from 1938 until deregulation in 1997. Since then, Mattson and her fellow plaintiffs have added PP&L, Northwestern Energy, and Touch America to the suit as successors to Montana Power. Currently they're trying to turn the issue into a class action lawsuit against PP&L on behalf of all private property owners on the 160 miles of shoreline. Class action status had been previously granted with regard to Montana Power, according to Chicago attorney Jamie Franklin, who represents the property owners.
Franklin blames Mattson's property shrinkage on the high volume of the lake. During the winter and early spring, PP&L releases enough water to lower the lake to 2,883 feet above sea level, according to the most recent complaint filed in Flathead County District Court. But by the end of May, dam operators cause the water level to rise to 2,890 feet.
Operators maintain that level until October or November, when the lake is allowed to recede again for the winter. Mattson claims that this annual cycle constitutes an illegal taking of her property and that it causes "irreparable wave, flooding, sub-irrigation, and other action" which erodes and otherwise damages her land. She also claims that PP&L occasionally exceeds 2,893 feet above sea level, the limit permitted by the dam's licensing agreement with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Unless PP&L changes the way it operates, Mattson expects her property to continue shrinking. Her current worry is an adjacent parcel of land with two ponds owned by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. When the lake breaches the ponds, she says, the erosion will accelerate.
"They've done nothing to keep it from opening up into the lake," Mattson says. "It's endangering my land."

5 Things to Expect From an Amazon Smartphone: Cheap Price
Finally, if there's anything resembling a sure bet when it comes to Amazon, it's that it habitually prices its hardware near (sometimes even slightly below) cost. The theory behind this practice is that Amazon plays a long game: The company is willing to break even or even lose a bit of cash selling hardware that's tied to its ecosystem, expecting that you'll use it to buy physical or digital products from Amazon.
So while Apple and Samsung continue to charge $650 and up for their flagship smartphones, it's a fairly safe bet the Amazon smartphone will follow the pattern of its Kindle Fire HDX tablets and undercut the competition by a significant margin.
With the Galaxy S5 now on shelves, the iPhone 6 (or possibly two new iPhones) expected in the fall and Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows Phone 8.1 getting rave reviews, 2014 is shaping up to be a big year for smartphones. Adding an Amazon smartphone to the mix could escalate it to a blowout year and shake up the industry in a big way.
As of this writing, Brad Moon did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Lately I've been thinking about becoming a birdwatcher.
"Birders," as they're called, are getting lots of love right now, especially on HBO. When the network isn't airing The Big Year -- the 2011 flick stars Jack Black, Steve Martin and Owen Wilson as rival birdwatchers -- it's hyping a documentary called Birders: The Central Park Effect, which premieres tonight.
Directed by first-time filmmaker Jeffrey Kimball, Birders doesn't have a very big budget, but it does boast lots of heart.
In it, Kimball encounters the devoted birdwatchers who gather in New York's Central Park each year to stake out 100+ species. What makes the movie unique, though, is that he gives equal time to the birds themselves, letting the camera capture as many feathered friends as possible. (Be sure to watch the credits to see just how many birds he got on film.)
The movie offers several bits of trivia and surprises, like the fact that author Jonathan Franzen is among the Central Park birders. Sadly, it's revealed that one of the park's most well-known birders has been diagnosed with terminal breast cancer -- but her health doesn't seem to affect her inspiring outlook on life.
At a time when the word "tweet" is very rarely associated with bird sounds, it's refreshing to meet a group of folks who are content to roam the outdoors with a notebook and binoculars. One of the most upsetting revelations in Birders is that bird species are declining, and longtime birdwatchers aren't spotting nearly as many species as they used to. Kimball's film just might be capturing a dying art form.
Watch a preview below and see a fun photo gallery on HBO.com:
Birders airs tonight at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.

TURIN -- Mike Ireland beat Jeremy Wotherspoon. He beat post-concussion syndrome. But he couldn't beat a little fleck of dust on the ice.
The Winnipeg long-track speed skater finished seventh in the 500-metres yesterday - an amazing accomplishment considering the year away from skating following a bicycle crash into the side of a mountain in California in September 2004.
His finish was two positions higher than his high-profile Canadian teammate, Jeremy Wotherspoon, in a race won by American Joey Cheek.
But as much as he recognized his accomplishment in terms of where he was when he finally was able to return to the ice four months ago, the 32-year old, who spent the past year at his Calgary home battling nausea, dizziness and headaches, left the oval here last night thinking woulda, coulda, shoulda.
"After all I went through and the journey to get back after no training at all makes this really exciting for me," he said of his combined time of 70.88 for the two 500-metre races, which beat Wotherspoon's 71.05 in ninth.
"But if I had a better first heat, if I hadn't skated over something, I would have been in the mix.
"I might have won a medal. I might have finished fourth. But I would have been in the mix."
Ireland was 11th after the first race. He had the sixth best time in the second race.
"I must have skated over something," he said of the possibility of concrete dust, which often plagues Olympics in new buildings, that often weren't completed until just prior to the Games.
The result was losing sharpness on one skate.
"I went for it," he said.
Ireland was also affected by a lengthy delay to fix the ice when Beorn Nijenhuis of the Netherlands lost an edge and Kwon Sun Chun of Korea crashed into the padding in corner four in the same pairing.
Ireland was set to skate in the next pairing.
"Delays suck," he said. "I was ready to go. But that wasn't it. I skated over something."
Ireland said it didn't mean anything to him to finish ahead of Wotherspoon.
"I don't really focus on that," he said.
"What can I do?"
Canadians Vincent Labrie of Quebec City and Miron Brock of Cornwall, Ont., finished 29th and 30th respectively.

Hayashi Shihei

|July 28, 1793
|Pen name
|Kumusai shujin
|Military strategy, geography
Hayashi Shihei (林 子平, August 6, 1738 - July 28, 1793) was a Japanese military scholar and a retainer of the Sendai Domain. His name is sometimes misread (according to the Sino-Japanese reading) as Rin Shihei.
Shihei was born the second son of Hayashi Gonhyoue Yoshimichi, a hatamoto who served the Tokugawa shogunate. However Yoshimichi was expelled for some reason; some[citation needed] argue it was the result of a conflict with his colleagues (perhaps a duel). After that, Shihei was brought up by his uncle Hayashi Jyugo, a physician. He spent most of his life in his bedroom. He wrote a poem called "Six No's", which reads: "I have no parents, no wife, no son, no block for printing, no money, and I wish for 'no death'."
His elder brother, Hayashi Kazen became one of the Sendai domain's official doctors. Years before Commodore Perry sailed into Japan in 1853, Shihei was pushing for Japan to adopt Western military science and the re-education of the samurai. He complained of the lack of organized drill exercises, and stressed the importance of chōren, or teamwork drill, rather than mere individual martial training. He gave a lot of technical descriptions about shipbuilding, cannons and other military designs. He published these thoughts in his work titled Kaikoku Heidan (i.e. Discussion concerning military matters of a maritime nation), printed without permission of the bakufu in the year 1791. The printing blocks were confiscated soon afterwards. Another famous work is Sangoku Tsūran Zusetsu (Illustrated Description of Three Countries), printed in 1786.
Together with Takayama Hikokurō and Gamō Sanbei, Hayashi is known as one of the "Three Excelling Men of the Kansei Period" (Kansei no san-kijin 寛政の三奇人).
His grave is in Sendai. A plaque commemorating his accomplishments can also be found at the site of Sendai Castle.

Leadership and productivity in transition: employees' view in Serbia
Research is carried out on a sample of 300 employees in a company that went through the process of ownership change and became a shareholders' association. The study aims to find out the preferred pattern of leader's behaviour as a predictor of employees' productive behaviour. Obtained results suggest that it is essential for increased productivity that the employees show a high level of trust towards their leader but he should not hold high expectations of them. Production errors are influenced by leaders' readiness to provide assistance to the employees and his expectations of the employees. When it comes to production quality, leader's helpfulness and expectations have proved variables in their behaviour that directly influence production quality.

Shotokan (松濤館流 Shōtōkan-ryū) is a style of the art of karate, developed from various martial arts by Gichin Funakoshi (1868–1957) and his son Gigo (Yoshitaka) Funakoshi (1906–1945).
Shotokan training is usually divided into three parts: kihon (basics), kata (forms or patterns of moves), and kumite (sparring). Techniques in kihon and kata are characterized by deep, long stances that provide stability, enable powerful movements, and strengthen the legs. Shotokan is often regarded as a 'hard' and 'external' martial art because it is taught that way to beginners and coloured belts to develop strong basic techniques and stances. Initially strength and power are demonstrated instead of slower, more flowing motions. Those who progress to brown and black belt level develop a much more fluid style which incorporates grappling and some aikido-like techniques, which can be found in the black belt katas. Kumite techniques mirror these stances and movements at a basic level, but are less structured, with a focus instead on speed and efficiency.
Mortal Kombat
In the Mortal Kombat series, Shotokan is used by Sub-Zero in Deadly Alliance, Deception and Armageddon and appears as a selectable fighting stance in Kreate A Fighter mode from Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.

Responses to CBER September 30, 2009 Comments
The text below provides responses to CBER's September 30, 2009 comments on the draft concept protocol (submitted to the BLA on August 13, 2009) for a phase IV epidemiological study to assess the incidence of autoimmune disease following administration of Cervarix. For ease of review, CBER's comments are presented in bold text followed by GSK's responses.
1) Please submit to us the actual or projected dates, as per 21 CFR 601.70(7), for the following:
- Date of Submission of Protocol
- Completion of Subject Accrual
- Submission of Annual Interim PMC Study Reports
- Completion of the Study
- Date of Submission of the Final Study Report
We are able to provide the following dates requested:
- Date of submission of protocol: March 2010
- Submission of Annual Interim PMC Study Reports: yearly after start of subject accrual.
- Date of Submission of the Final Study Report: 6 months after study completion.
The other dates (completion of subject accrual and completion of study) rely on rates of routine Cervarix uptake among the general population after licensure. Based on current Gardasil coverage rates (10-12%) among HMOs with a population of women of approximately 1.3 million aged 10-25 years and conservative assumptions for Cervarix coverage for the next years we believe we can complete subject accrual by March 2013 (3 years after final protocol). However, at present, it is difficult to confirm whether this target will be met, since it depends on rates of Cervarix uptake, which currently cannot be accurately predicted. Completion of study is targeted for 1.5 years after completion of subject accrual (i.e., September 2014, if subject accrual is complete by March 2013) and, as mentioned above, we expect that the study report could be provided 6 months after completion of the study (i.e., March 2015).
Once the study is initiated and after 6 months of subject accrual have been completed, we will be able to provide more accurate estimates of the dates for completion of the study and submission of the final study reports. In summary, we are suggesting the following dates:
Date of Submission of Protocol
March 2010
Completion of Subject Accrual
March 2013*
Submission of Annual Interim PMC Study Reports
Yearly after start of subject accrual
Completion of the Study
September 2014
Date of Submission of the Final Study Report
March 2015
*contingent on subject accrual
2) Please submit a brief response to each item in the September 16, 2009, Information Request (see below).
Responses will be provided separately.
3) Please consider exchanging the pregnancy registry component of the PMC, with participation in VAMPSS (Vaccines and Medications in Pregnancy Surveillance System). VAMPSS uses both prospective surveillance and case control methods and is coordinated by the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.
Thank you for this suggestion; however, GSK has only limited knowledge of VAMPSS and therefore, we cannot commit to participation in VAMPSS in a timeframe commensurate with the initial licensure of Cervarix. We would therefore propose that the pregnancy registry component of the PMC be maintained.

Kashmir girl band Pragaash gives up after threats
Three female high-school students in India have had to disband a rock group they formed after only one concert - this after receiving threats.
Three teenagers founded Pragaash, the first all-girl rock band in Indian-administered Kashmir, in December.
It caused a backlash from internet users, who said it was inappropriate for them to front a rock band.
Since then, a government-backed cleric has issued a fatwa against the girls.
Kashmiri author Waheed Mirza, told the BBC's Mishal Husain the teenagers were "being used".

Tomatillo-Cilantro Salsa
"We always choose a lighter, green salsa like this one for poultry or vegetables," says Anna Zepaltas. "With a strong-flavored red salsa, you would lose the taste of the chicken."
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: makes 2 1/2 cups
- 1/2 pound tomatillos (about 4), husked
- 1 large beefsteak tomato or 2 medium ones (about 1 pound)
- 2 serrano chiles, stemmed
- 1 dried pasilla chile, stemmed and seeded
- 1 medium onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- 1/2 cup packed cilantro sprigs
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Salt
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 500°. On a rimmed baking sheet, spread the tomatillos, beefsteak tomato, serranos, pasilla, onion and garlic. Roast the vegetables in the center of the oven for about 15 minutes, turning them once or twice, until softened and lightly browned in spots.
Peel and core the beefsteak tomato and cut the flesh into quarters. Crumble the pasilla chile into a blender or food processor and add the remaining roasted vegetables and any juices. Add the cilantro sprigs and lime juice and puree until smooth. Season the salsa with salt.
Make Ahead
The tomatillo-cilantro salsa can be refrigerated overnight.
Dried pasilla chiles are available at Latin American markets, specialty food stores and some supermarkets.

It's not uncommon to match the pieces of an outfit together. We all often look for colors that correlate, but rarely ever work with one color in different hues. This can be a tricky thing to do when using brighter colors, but when using neutrals, the outcome can be pretty cool. This Fashionisto worked with different shades of browns and khaki and even added in some gray to create a look based on neutral tones, which was fitting for the recent gloomy April weather.
This Fashionisto created a look based around his cool bomber jacket. The jacket was passed down from his mother, who also wore it when she attended college. The brown jacket has a really unique lining of a map of the world in the inside. Pieces like this are hard to find, but you might be lucky searching a nearby thrift shop or consignment store. The jacket was paired with khaki chinos, and a pop of color was added with a bright blue plaid shirt from Rue 21. Although this shirt is the only bright piece seen in the look, it works well with the others colors, bringing them all together. It is layered on top of a yellow tee from Target.
Even this Fashionisto's shoes scream neutral. He wore a pair of rugged gray boots made by Frye, perfect for the weather, and accessorized his look simply with a gray hat. He proves that you don't have to have a bunch of bright or offbeat colors to look cool or fashionable.
Hint: When creating a look based on one color, expand throughout the scheme. You don't have to use the same exact color throughout.

Pulp Fiction. The Star Wars prequels. Jurassic Park. Goodfellas.
Samuel L. Jackson has starred in some of the most iconic films in movie history, and he has the bank to back it up. His prolific resume, which includes more than 100 films, has yielded nearly $7.5 billion for Hollywood, according to The Guinness Book of World Records.
That impressive sum makes him the highest-grossing actor of all time, beating out the likes of bona fide box office kings such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Will Smith and Matt Damon.
And despite amassing an impressive body of work that spans more than 30 years, Jackson has no intention of slowing down. He's currently starring opposite Angela Bassett on Broadway in The Mountaintop and has seven (!) movies slated for release over the next three years, including the highly anticipated comic book flick The Avengers.

Listen up: Ocean acidification poses little threat to whales' hearing
Contrary to some previous, highly publicized, reports, ocean acidification is not likely to worsen the hearing of whales and other animals, according to a Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) scientist who studies sound propagation in the ocean. Tim Duda, of WHOI's Applied Ocean Physics & Engineering Department, undertook a study in response to warnings that as the ocean becomes more acidic—due to elevated levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2)--noise from ships will be able to travel farther and possibly interfere with whales and other animals that rely on sound to navigate, communicate, and hunt.
Duda and WHOI scientists Ilya Udovydchenkov, Scott Doney, and Ivan Lima, along with colleagues at the Naval Postgraduate School, designed mathematical models of sound propagation in the oceans. Their models found that the increase would be, at most, 2 decibels by the year 2100—a negligible change compared with noise from natural events such as storms and large waves. Noise levels are predicted to change even less than this in higher-noise areas near sources such as shipping lanes, Duda said.

text: I recently decided to go to a wine and Jazz festival in Morgantown WV. I came acorss a WV "Wine maker" and he said his "vinyard" uses metal vats to proces his wine which "gives it a unique taste". I replied, so, you distaill alcohol, add some flavoring and call it wine. he says...no, we process our wine in a metal vat. I reply, well how long does it age in that metal vat, he says, it doesn;t age its' ready right away. Soooo, I try a sip. I am not a wine tasting expert so my descriptins might not be truely accurate, but the best way that I can describe it is: Stale beer, mixed with old eggs with a distnct metal finish. I mean, geesh, where I come from, we would call this moonshine, flavored. Anyone hear of this type of processing? Maybe I'm not firing on all cylinders here>

Dating Don'ts: 7 Ways You Can Blow It The Morning After
Dear guys and gals. Sometimes we get so focused on the night of our date that we forget about the morning after. Don't do that. Yes, it's still important to make sure that your date goes well enough to hit a home run, but don't start celebrating until you've successfully crossed home base … waking up next to that person in broad daylight. I think of this moment as the true test of how well the date went. The worst, very worst, thing to feel in that moment is that you've made a grave mistake. That the charming, kind and sexy man who wooed and wowed the previous evening no longer exists. In his place is this naked, grunting cretin who makes you feel nothing more than the urge to wash your sheets. After the jump, a few things to keep in mind the morning after. That is, if you hope for a repeat performance.
1. Your bad mood. Not all of us are morning people. I get that. I have chosen to be the kind of person who wakes up with a joke on my lips and a cuddle in my heart. I don't expect the same from the rest of humanity. But for the love of God, shine it on if you're spending the night with me. Bad morning moods are absolutely intolerable to those of us who employ a good morning mood policy. That means talking in complete sentences, answering questions as coherently as possible, a smile if you can manage it. If that's not possible, SPOON dammit. If even that's not possible, GO HOME or I'M LEAVING.
2. The morning foolery. Again, I know the world isn't all on the same page about morning business. That's fine. But whether you are on Team Morning Sex or not, you must at least demonstrate some physical attraction in the morning. Even if you're tired or not in the mood. I don't think I need to tell you how this is done. Do I? Touching, kissing, laughing and compliments achieve the desired effect. You want the other person to know that you are just as into them this morning as you were last night after the second glass of wine. Unless you aren't. In which case, GO HOME or I'M LEAVING.
3. Coffee and/or breakfast. It is unwritten law (well, now it's written) that you shall offer coffee and/or breakfast to your overnight guest. If you don't have any to offer, you shall walk with or drive that person to the nearest establishment which serves coffee and/or breakfast. If the person declines, their loss. But ne'er shall you have it on your conscience that you did not make caffeine or sustenance available the morning after.
4. The tooth brush/shower situation. It is also required to offer your guest the following options when they awake: 1) Something to take away their morning breath. That could be a new toothbrush if you're really on your game. If you're down with germ sharing it could be your toothbrush. Last resort, their finger and some of your toothpaste. I take this especially seriously since dental hygiene is of the utmost importance to me. 2) A shower with or without you in it. Guests' choice. Some people don't like co-showering or showering at someone else's house, but at least you offered. 3) A clean towel. To wipe face and/or body after brushing/face washing/showering.
5. Poor guest etiquette. My mother taught me that you always clean up after yourself when staying at someone else's house. This may mean making the bed, or attempting to make the bed, taking your coffee cup to the sink and rinsing, hanging up your wet towel and collecting all of your belongings. This is just good manners. And good manners will get you far.
6. The goodbye. DO NOT bungle the goodbye. This is actually more important than you think. It sends a message to other person. You may be late for work, but don't forget the goodbye kiss. The genuine thank you. If you're on your A game, the agreement about when you'll speak or see each other again. I'm not sure if men care about this, but women do. Only if it's genuine, of course. But these moments build trust. And trust is what gets you invited to spend the night more regularly.
7. The acknowledgement of a good time later that day. Bonus round! I find it to be particularly impressive to get a text or an email later that day to say what a good time last night was. Again, only if it's sincere. This is really kind and considerate. It also shows how you feel (if you're feel in' it) and conveys to that person that you are thinking about them.
Did I miss anything? Got any to add? Share in the comments so we can all have better morning afters!

Healthcare insurance provider Humana has launched a trial of remote-monitoring technology for diabetes patients in partnership with tech player Pharos Innovations.
The trial is to last for a six-month period and involve some 500 Humana Medicare members in Texas, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin.
In a statement, Humana (Louisville, KY, USA) said it aimed to improve self-care management and reduce hospital admissions and in-patient costs through use of remote-monitoring technology.
The patients participating in the trial have been identified and will be managed by Humana Cares/Senior Bridge, Humana's national chronic care management division.
Using technology from Pharos (Northfield, IL, USA), the patients will self-report their health information on a daily basis – providing details of blood sugar, symptoms, diet and medication adherence – using mobile devices or the fixed-line internet.
Nurses will review the information received and establish further contact with patients if there are areas of concern.
"We know that people living with diabetes can do so much to improve their quality of life just by monitoring their conditions daily and by learning the activities that will have an impact, positive or negative, on their conditions," said Gail Miller, the vice president of telephonic care management operations for Humana Cares/Senior Bridge. "This user-friendly system also allows us to intervene more quickly if a member is having complications related to their diabetes."
Humana Cares/Senior Bridge already claims to support more than 400,000 individuals with chronic conditions.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with diverse clinical manifestations characterized by the development of pathogenic autoantibodies and target tissue damage. Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have identified genetic variants in the UBE2L3 region that are associated with SLE in subjects of European and Asian ancestry. UBE2L3 encodes an ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, UBcH7, involved in cell proliferation and immune function. In this study, we sought to further characterize the genetic association in the region of UBE2L3 and use molecular methods to determine the functional effect of the risk haplotype.
The IlluminaiSelect platform was employed to genotype SNPs within the UBE2L3 region in 8,922 cases and 8,077 controls, including: African-Americans (1,569 cases/1,893 controls), Asians (1,328 cases/1,348 controls), Europeans (4,248 cases/3,818 controls), Gullah (155 cases/131 controls), and Hispanics enriched for Amerindian-European admixture (1,622 cases/887 controls). Imputation was performed using IMPUTE2 and the 1000 Genomes Project reference panels. The single marker association analyses were calculated using the logistic regression function in PLINK adjusting for gender and global ancestry estimates. Haploview version 4.2 was used to generate probable haplotypes and calculate haplotypic association for all haplotypes formed by the associated markers. Eight EBV-transformed B cell lines with risk haplotype and 16 with non-risk haplotype were used to study the effect on UBE2L3 mRNA and UBcH7 protein expression. Quantitative RT-PCR and western blotting was performed to compare the mRNA and protein expression level of UBE2L3, respectively.
We identified strong associations between variants in UBE2L3 and SLE in Europeans (86 SNPs with P < 1 × 10-4), Asians (71 SNPs with P < 1 × 10-3), and modest association in African-Americans (24 SNPs with P < 0.01), and Hispanics (17 SNPs with P < 0.01). A single risk haplotype was observed in subjects of European-ancestry (P = 2.07 × 10-7), and the other associated populations. However, due to strong LD across the region we were not able to narrow the risk interval using genetic methods (r2 > 0.8). Previous studies suggested that variants in the region of UBE2L3 influence UBE2L3 transcript expression. To evaluate if the SLE risk haplotype carries variants that influence UBE2L3 transcript or UBcH7 protein levels, we used quantitative-PCR and western blotting. Our results demonstrate that individuals harboring the risk haplotype display a significant increase in both mRNA expression (P < 0.001) and UBcH7 protein expression (P = 0.001). These results suggest the variants carried on the SLE associated UBE2L3 risk haplotype influence autoimmunity by modulating UBcH7 expression.
UBE2L3 is an SLE risk locus present in multiple ethnic groups. Our data demonstrate a single risk haplotype with strong linkage disequilibrium that resists further genetic refinement. The UBE2L3 risk haplotype results in increased expression of both UBE2L3 mRNA and UBcH7 protein.

Behavioural Finance (FINC6022)
Behavioural finance examines how individual financial decision making and behaviour affect outcomes in financial markets. The unit begins with a review of the foundations of efficient markets, and then draws comparisons between the efficient ('economically rational') market and the less understood but possibly more realistic behavioural ('partially rational' or 'irrational') understanding of markets. The philosophy of the unit is that both viewpoints have advantages and each adds something new to our understanding of investor behaviour, both at the level of individual traders and at the level of the market interpreted as a mechanism for aggregating opinion and attitudes to risk.

Spring Trend: Fringe
Trend Alert: Flapper Fringe
Just when you think fringe has peaked its potential, designers come out with a thinner winner. Flapper fringe gives off a jazzy vibe, unlike its thicker, more bohemian sister. I actually own a black La Rok top similar to this 3.1 Phillip Lim Fringed Boat Neck Tunic ($695). Gotta love the way it swings with every motion. Swish, swish . . .

Historical Perspectives
Egypt Offers Gas At Higher Rates (INN) ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS) By Gabe Kahn 04/23/12)
Source: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/155057#.T5YefbOO2So
INN} ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS Articles-Index-Top
An Egyptian minister on Monday said the Egypt was willing to begin selling gas to Israel again at more favorable prices to Cairo.
Her remarks came after it was reported late on Sunday night that Egypt planned to unilaterally terminate its 2005 natural gas export contract with Israel.
"From Egypt´s point of view there are no objections to reaching a new agreement with new conditions and a new price," Minister for International Cooperation Fayza Abul Naga told reporters.
Before cancelling the deal, Egypt tried to renegotiate the deal with a retroactive price hike, but Israel has refused, saying it already pays market rates.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said Israel was in no hurry to sign a new deal, noting it had strategic reserves that could be tapped.
Energy Minister Uzi Landau told reporters, "It´s an unfortunate announcement, but in no way is it a surprise. It sums up a reality that has existed for more than a year."
"For nearly two years now we have been preparing for a halt in supplies. So, while it causes great discomfort and will bring a rise in energy prices, Israel has been developing its energy market without depending on this gas," he said.
Gas from Egypt once accounted for about 40 per cent of Israel´s reserves of natural gas, the country´s primary energy source, But pipeline attacks have stopped the flow for most of 2012 - and Landau has actively been looking elsewhere.
Israel´s newly discovered reserves from huge offshore gas fields will secure Israel´s energy needs for decades, even making it an exporter.
The first field Tamar will come on line around April 2013. The even larger Leviathan prospect is due to begin production around 2017.
Meanwhile, a senior Egyptian general on Monday sought to end the war of words that erupted between some officials in Cairo and Jerusalem late Sunday.
"We should understand that there is no relation between the Camp David Accords and the gas deal with Israel," Major General Tariq El- Mahdy told Egypt´s Sada Al-Balad television channel.
El-Mahdy, the former head of Egypt´s Air Defense Forces and current governor of Egypt´s New Valley region, said, "Decisions over war and peace can´t be taken simply -- the slogan of Egypt´s army is to be ready for war as if it will happen tomorrow."
His remarks came after Egyptian Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi said Monday that Egypt will "break the legs" of those who threaten it, al- Ahram reported, in an apparent reference to Israel.
Tantawi, who spoke during a military drill in the Sinai, also said Egypt´s military was ready "to strike at a moments notice."
Earlier on Monday, Knesset opposition leader Shaul Mofaz described Egypt´s decision as a "possible breach of the Camp David accords."
He also called on the United States, who brokered the 1978 Egypt- Israel Peace Treaty, to immediately "take a clear stand" on the issue.
Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman went as far as to suggest bolstering Israel´s military presence along the Sinai border.
"The Egyptian case is much more worrisome than the Iranian one," The Hebrew-language Maariv quoted him as saying.
El-Mahdy described Egypt´s decision to scrap the unpopular deal with Israel as "a step on the right track" and "an indication that nothing is impossible."
He noted the cost of securing the Sinai pipeline that feeds gas to Israel as one of the drawbacks of the deal.
Since the January 25, 2011 uprising that led to former President Hosni Mubarak´s ouster on February 11, 2011, the Sinai gas pipeline feeding Israel and Jordan has been bombed 14 times.
Critics have openly accused Mubarak of selling the gas to Israel at below international prices in what they term a "sweetheart deal."
However, Israeli officials have repeatedly noted that the price they pay for natural gas is better than other regional exporters receive and is in line with international prices.
Nonetheless, Mubarak is currently on trial, facing charges of conspiring with fugitive businessman Hussein Salem to export gas to Israel at below market prices.
Former minister of petroleum, Sameh Fahmy, as well as other former Egyptian officials are also on trial because of the prices stipulated in the gas deal with Israel. (IsraelNationalNews © 2012 04/23/12)

Ethnic Hair and Skin for Women of Color. This Workshop gives in-depth analysis of ethnic hair and skin and introduces students to the skill set needed for ethnic hair styling and makeup application.
Textured hair will be targeted which ranges from naturally kinky (chemical free) to wavy hair. Students will be introduced to techniques that temporarily straighten curly hair which then allows the hair to be styled. Hair composition will be analyzed and styling products that work best with different hair types will be introduced.
The Skin Analysis segment of the Workshop will cover textured skin, pigmentation and application of color theory to skin tones and undertones.
Students will have the ability for hands-on application and learn how to translate hair and makeup theory into reality on a model.
Following the hands-on segment there will be a short photo shoot with professional photographers to help build your portfolio.
Class size is restricted so that all students receive one-on-one attention.
Call for information.

You are already enlightened now. But you fight it, because you tell yourself you can't be enlightened yet because this hasn't happened or that, or some big revelation, and you are right. Because it isn't big, loud, it's simple, profound, and here. There is no path, no road, no getting point, it is here. It is difficult, but I have faith that you will discover it. What is difficult is to let go of approval, proving, finding the right answer, doing the right thing, finding the right partner, and resting in nothing. We live in a world describing everything and yet we must bring our weary tired stories to the indescribable to have our lives restored. What do you really know now? What is really going on?

The Wyoming Cowboy wrestling team entered tonight's match with one goal in mind, get a big win and get the conference season rolling. The Cowboys did just that defeating the North Dakota State University Bison 20-16 and earning their first Western Wrestling Conference victory. The Cowboys improve to 2-8 overall and 1-1 in the WWC while the Bison fall to 4-3 overall and 1-1 in the WWC.
"It's a lot more fun in the locker room tonight after a win," UW head coach Steven Suder said. "I'm proud of the way the guys fought tonight."
Wyoming won six of the ten matches including two major decisions by junior Carter Downing and senior Sam Wendland. Downing defeated Ryan Adams 10-1 to get the major decision and improve to 27-7 overall and 2-0 in the WWC. Wendland had not wrestled since November 18 of 2006 because of a knee injury, but came back in mid-season form defeating Jacob Bryce 10-2 to get the Pokes second major decision of the night.
"I stayed conservative and tried to not make any mistakes," Wendland said. "I wrestled the way I always do, I try and beat the guy up, then break him in the third period." Wendland improved his overall record to 8-3 and 1-0 in WWC action.
Redshirt sophomore Garrett Desmond earned his second WWC victory and improved to 9-11 overall (2-0 in WWC) defeating Gabe Mooney 3-2. "It comes down to the guy who makes the smart move at the end," Desmond said. "I had a key takedown towards the end, and just stayed solid for the entire match."
Wyoming's other three victories on the night came from redshirt freshman Nick Ramirez (16-14 overall, 2-0 in WWC), redshirt freshman Cory VomBaur (14-12 overall, 1-1 in WWC), and junior Bryan Bernal (17-15 overall, 1-1 in WWC). Wyoming also received a strong wrestling performance by sophomore Dan Barrone after wrestling up a weight for the second consecutive week.
"This feels really good," Suder continued. "We have a lot of guys fighting hard and I think it showed tonight. We have made some adjustments and we're making progress."
The Cowboys return to the mat Friday February 2, as they head to Orange County to take on the Titans of Cal State Fullerton. Saturday, February 3, the Cowboys head to Utah for their third WWC dual against Utah Valley State. Friday's match begins at 8 p.m. (Mtn.) and Saturday's begins at 5 p.m.

"Encinitas is lucky to have such an amazing yoga studio as Iyengar Yoga North County. Carolyn Belko is a fabulous instructor with an incredible amount of experience and knowledge. This studio has something for everyone, whether you are a beginner or advanced, you will be happy you decided to continue your practice here." Rachael A. – Sept 19, 2011
"I am relatively new to Iyengar yoga, with less than four years of practice. Coming to Iyengar Yoga Center of North County has enriched my practice greatly. It's not just the excellent instruction by Carolyn and others, but the peaceful, serene setting that enhances my asana practice, coming closer to meditation in action. The Center offers readings from the Yoga Sutras, stories of BKS Iyengar's teachings, opportunities for personal spiritual growth, and a sense of community.
"As I aspire to teach in the future, my experiences, lessons and guidance both on and off the mat have been invaluable. Classes are challenging and stimulating my own growth as a practitioner. It is truly a Center for learning about the Iyengar method and how to integrate yoga throughout your life." – Christina M. – April 26, 2011
"I started here in 2008 and it has saved my life. Carolyn is a godsend – one of the best Iyengar teachers in the country. Love her rhythm and flow. In fact the other teachers are excellent too. I highly recommend trying this studio." – Patti P. – Jan 14, 2011
"Carolyn is a top notch teacher as well as a phenomenal trainer. Her Senior level skills in instruction and practice are inspiring. All teachers at her studio live up to high standards. Excellent studio!" Brooke – Mar 1, 2011
"I drive all the way from downtown to go to Cynthia's class! The studio is beautiful, the teachers are skilled, the atmosphere is friendly…a gem of a yoga studio in a peaceful setting in the Encinitas backcountry." Susan – Feb 13, 2011
"Great place to do yoga! Excellent instructions, great teachers, really beautiful studio, and variety of classes. Love the Therapeutics and Restorative classes! Carolyn ROCKS!" – Elle H. – Jan 13, 2011
"A Welcome Refreshing Change. In this day and age of commercialism and watered down goods and services it is a refreshing change to see a place teach Yoga in its pure unadulterated form as taught by one of the legendary Yoga masters of our time B.K.S. Iyengar. Carolyn has reached an advanced level which can only come about from decades of practice. This is evident in the way she teaches. She can sense where you are and where you need to go next. She is adept at picking up incorrect technique and making adjustments. You must have traveled the path before you can teach like this.
There are classes here for everyone from the beginner to the hard core advanced practitioner. If you have any ailments, alternative poses will be given. There is also a Therapeutics class for those needing to rehabilitate from an ailment. I can attest to the effectiveness of the Therapeutics class because I recently used it to cure a whiplash injury. It was amazing and a really great learning experience to feel the injury go in reverse. The other instructors at the studio are also well trained and I have learned a lot from them as well." Anonymous – Jan 7, 2011
"This is the best Iyengar Yoga place in southern California. I moved here from Brazil, have practiced all over the world, and I really can tell you that Carolyn is one of the best teachers I have ever met. She has a great way of teaching, extremely knowledgeable, sharp, she has a way of communicating with your body that is truly a rare find! Her therapy class is incredible and the studio is just beautiful and peaceful, not to mention her well trained team of teachers and great yoga community." Bela – Dec 28, 2010
"Teachers are well trained and knowledgeable. Incredible therapy classes, personalized for each person. Really a great find in North County! Location is a little tucked away, but well worth finding! Lots of convenient parking." Anonymous (Google Places) – Dec 8, 2010

Tony Bennett
There's a long history between Hollywood and the American political landscape and Lady Gaga is the latest pop star to throw her support behind Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Earlier today (June 12) the "Edge of Glory" songstress and her frequent collaborator Tony Bennett announced a New York City fundraiser slated for June 24th, with tickets ranging from $1,000 up to $2,700.
Always a fan of helping a good cause, Lady Gaga performed with Tony Bennett at a WellChild benefit gala at London's Royal Albert Hall on Monday night (June 8).
The "Just Dance" diva wore a cleavage-bearing silver dress as she greeted Prince Harry outside the gig before changing into a see-through top with nipple pasties and heading over to the Box Nightclub for a swanky afterparty.
They've been having a blast working together on music as of late and last night (February 8) Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett took the stage at the Staples Center for a very special performance at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards.
Mother Monster donned a form-fitting black dress as she belted out "Cheek to Cheek" with her handsome duet partner, bringing the celebrity-laden audience to its feet by the time they sang the last note.
Eager for the exciting evening ahead, Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett teamed up for the 57th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night (February 8).
Mother Monster was darling in a daringly-low-cut silver gown as she was escorted inside the Staples Center by her legendary jazz singer pal, who donned a classic black tuxedo and a show-stopping smile.
They're one of the most unlikely pairs in musical history, and yet Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett have been selling albums and selling out shows like crazy as of late.
On Thursday (February 5) the "Just Dance" diva and the legendary crooner gathered at the Staples Center in Los Angeles to rehearse for their upcoming performance at the 57th Annual GRAMMY Awards this weekend.
Showing off their amazing artistic chemistry, Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett rang in 2015 with an amazing concert at The Chelsea inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas on Wednesday night (December 31).
The legendary 88-year-old crooner was in great shape as he teamed with Mother Monster for a series of jazz standards while the crowd soaked up the rare aural awesomeness. Gaga and Bennett's set included "Steppin' Out with my Baby," "Smile," "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)," "I Won't Dance," and "It Don't Mean a Thing (If it Ain't Got That Swing)."
Their new album Cheek to Cheek is a sonorous spectacle and now Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett have announced yet another duet.
The "Edge of Glory" songstress and her handsome jazz-singing partner have joined forces to plug H&M's Holiday 2014 catalog.
Showing some love to their Belgian fans, Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett showed up at Grand'place on Monday night (September 22) for a very special live performance.
The "Just Dance" songstress and her legendary crooner companion looked to enjoy sharing the stage as they performed selections from their Cheek to Cheek album together.
While she's usually known for having performance artists vomiting on stage and outrageous outfits, it turns out Lady Gaga can sing jazz with the best of them.
Case in point, the "Just Dance" diva just released a new single called "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" from her duet album with Tony Bennett called Cheek to Cheek.
Preparing for the enchanting evening ahead, Lady Gaga showed up at Jazz at Lincoln Center last night (July 28) to join forces with Tony Bennett and tape an upcoming special called "Cheek to Cheek Live."
Accompanied by her grandmother Ronnie Bissett, Mother Monster was elegant in a black dress that showed off plenty of cleavage as she posed for photos with the legendary jazz singer.

Notice that there is 200bytes or so of m68k asm, most of them A-trap calls to the Mac OS rom, concerned.

I had $25,000 before marriage.
I bought all our home furnishings with that money using my separate bank account within months of our marriage. Which I have the bank statements to prove.
Is this considered community property or do I have the right to all items I purchased with money I made before our marriage?
If the divorcing spouses agree to a division of assets and debts after full disclosure, the court likely would not intervene.
If the spouses cannot agree with each other on how to divide things, the court will divide all assets and debts, whether community or separate, in a just and equitable manner. What is just and equitable depends on the specific facts of the marriage.
Factors include how long the marriage, the earning potential of each spouse, any agreement the spouses may have with each other, and many other factors.
Without knowing much more information about your case, no one can hazard any reliable guess as to what would happen in your specific case. For this reason, you should review your specific facts with your attorney to see what your legal options are.Ask a similar question

I suppose the phrase "serious romantic comedy" sounds like a paradox. But that's exactly what "Silver Linings Playbook" is: an intelligent, edgy dark comedy with romance at its core. And believe it or not, the idea of struggling with mental illness is one of its themes.
Bradley Cooper ("The Hangover") stars as Pat Solitano, a man who has been hospitalized for bipolar disorder. With the help of medications and counseling, he is trying to remain on an even keel with the help of his exasperated but loving parents (Jacki Weaver, "Animal Kingdom," and Robert DeNiro).
Pat tries his best to cope with everyday trials and adjust to life without his wife Nikki (Brea Bee), who has taken out a restraining order on him. When he meets Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), he doesn't see her as a romantic interest: He sees her as a way to communicate with his wife, despite the presence of the restraining order. He asks Tiffany to deliver a letter he has written, and she agrees.
Meanwhile, Tiffany and Pat spar. She wants a favor from him, too. Tiffany has entered a dance contest (think "Dancing With the Stars") and needs someone to not only work on her routines with her, but also to appear as her partner during the live, and very public, competition. Pat really doesn't want to help her out, but he agrees to do so out of desperation.
Tiffany struggles with mental issues as well. There's a hilarious scene in she and Pat discuss the side effects of various medications. Meanwhile, Pat's parents try their hardest to work things out with their son. The only way that Pat's father knows how to communicate with him is to watch Philadelphia Eagles football games, which Pat could not care less about. Pat's mother, in the meantime, takes every opportunity to encourage and soothe her troubled son.
The chemistry between Cooper and Lawrence is palpable, and that is part of the reason why the movie works so well. Additionally, this is not a screenplay about wealthy people and their problems; rather, it focuses on middle-class, believable characters with everyday lives, which helps the audience relate to them easily.
I think the phrase "life-affirming" is overused, but I'm using it to describe this show that's unique, intelligent and far above the quality of the average forgettable romantic comedy. This is one you will remember.

Nordstrom Rack To Open In Naples, FL.
Seattle-based Nordstrom, Inc., announced plans to open a Nordstrom Rack in Naples, FL at The Mercato. The approximately 30,000-square-foot store is scheduled to open in fall 2013.
Nordstrom Rack is the off-price retail division of Nordstrom, Inc., carrying on-trend merchandise from Nordstrom stores and Nordstrom.com at 50 to 60 percent off original Nordstrom prices. Nordstrom Rack also offers a wide selection of apparel, accessories and shoes from many of the brands carried in Nordstrom stores. These items are purchased specially for Nordstrom Rack , with most at savings of 30 to 70 percent off.
Nordstrom operates nine full-line and eight Rack stores in Florida, including its location at Waterside Shops in Naples. "We're fortunate to have lots of customers living in south Florida and hope this new store will make it more convenient for ourNaples customers to shop both our full-line and Rack locations," said Geevy Thomas, president of Nordstrom Rack .
The new Nordstrom Rack will be conveniently located off of US-41 and will be just two miles north of the Nordstrom full-line store at Waterside Shops. The new two-level Rack store will occupy the former Borders book store and will join a vibrant retail and restaurant scene. Nearby stores include Whole Foods, Ulta, Sur La Table, Capital Grille and Blue Martini, among others. Madison Marquette Retail Services owns and manages The Mercato.
"We are extremely proud of our Madison Marquette Florida Leasing Team and the addition of this leading fashion retailer to Mercato. Nordstrom Rack will attract a variety of brand conscious, fashion forward customers and is a perfect fit for the surrounding area's demographics," said Chuck Taylor , Senior Vice President of Leasing of MMRS.

Doug Ford trained his fire on a member of the mayor's executive committee who has been critical of the way Rob Ford has handled the crack cocaine allegations — prompting the councillor in question to call the elder Ford a liar.
"Jaye Robinson is running around and saying the mayor should step away for a month, well today Jaye Robinson didn't show up to the civic appointments meeting. We had to cancel the whole meeting, so we all have to come back for two or three more days," Councillor Ford said on CP24. "She should be at work."
Reached on the phone at home moments later, an ill sounding Ms. Robinson bristled at the attack, especially the notion that the meeting was canceled. "First of all, it's a dead lie. The meeting went ahead," said Ms. Robinson. "And secondly, I'm sick as a dog. Flat on my back." She said she is suffering from a chest infection and had advised the chair and vice chair of the committee that she is ill and could not make the meeting.
She said she was assured there were sufficient councillors present to conduct the meeting.
Ms. Robinson, the lone woman on the executive, said attacking someone who is ill is the "lowest common denominator."
"He is just retaliating because I stood up on the mayor's issue," she said. "It makes you lose faith with the ongoing antics."
In the interview on CP24, Councillor Ford revealed his family has received "serious, serious" threats in the weeks since the crack controversy erupted. Gawker and the Toronto Star report seeing a video allegedly showing Mayor Ford smoking out of a crack pipe. The mayor says he does not use crack and that a video does not exist. The National Post has not seen the alleged video, which has not surfaced, and therefore cannot verify its authenticity.
"When is the media is going to tell the real story about the Fords and not this fantasy story. It's about giving back," said Councillor Ford.
Regarding Ms. Robinson, Mr. Ford admitted to not knowing why his colleague was absent, but suggested it didn't matter.
"You're throwing rocks in a glass house and she's not even at work. No matter what the excuse is, don't throw rocks in the glass house," he said.
Councillor James Pasternak, vice-chair of the committee, said it was "grossly unfair and inappropriate" to single out Ms. Robinson, considering she wasn't the only person to miss the meeting. He confirmed the meeting went ahead. Councillors Raymond Cho, Mary Fragedakis and Michael Thompson were also absent, he said.
"I don't think there is any doubt there is a deep acrimony between the Fords and Councillor Robinson over the response to the allegations. Taking to the airwaves to get even … I think is unfortunate and it sends a message that we can't function here at city hall."

Salam alaikoum every one,
I wanted to share with you the best book on seerah ever written in the english language.It is over 2000 pages.
The book is :"The noble life of the Prophet" in 3 volumes by "dr .Ali Muhammad As-Sallaabee" Darussalam
This book is different from the other in the sense that it doesn't simply give facts about the life of the Prophet(SW) ,it goes beyond that:it gives lessons ,and show us why the Prophet and the companions were successul and why we are not (A lot of verses of the quran are explained there).
I really advise you to buy this book and read it in the month of Ramadan.
I hope that you are fully benefitting from the month of Ramadan
