I wrote this earlier this morning, but I don't think it "took". Anyway, in response to Cindy's questions about contemporary literature, when I started teaching Creative Writing I inherited a book list of biographies and autobiographies that were supposed to be "good writing", but which I had never read. It was really difficult to encourage the students to read when I had no idea if they were good books or not. I dumped the list and came up with my own, based on reading I've done in the last five years as part of a book club. Most of the titles are contemporary fiction, and we discuss beforehand the content and "adult situations". The students really enjoyed these titles, and we could have a dialogue during the quarter about where they were in the book and what they enjoyed so far. I even had parents wanting to borrow the books after their students were done with them! Some titles on my list include A Prayer for Owen Meany, Angela's Ashes, Patty Jane's House of Curl, Ston!
es from the River, The Deep End of the Ocean, Montana 1948.

KATHMANDU (Reuters) - In a siege-like atmosphere, Nepalese politicians on Tuesday huddled in a Kathmandu parliament building ringed by barbed wire and surrounded by riot police to thrash out the young Himalayan republic's first federal constitution.
But with the Supreme Court's deadline only five days away, politicians were gloomy about finalising a charter amid protests by those demanding the country be divided into states along ethnic lines.
"It is not possible to follow rules and regulations and promulgate the constitution within this short time now," said Nilambar Acharya, chairman of the Constitutional Committee that must send a draft of the statute to the assembly for approval.
Failure to meet Sunday's deadline will deepen the political turmoil that has destabilized Nepal since the end of a 10-year-old Maoist conflict in 2006 and subsequent abolition of the monarchy.
Outside parliament, the streets were deserted as helmeted police with plastic shields cordoned off the area. In other parts of the city and elsewhere in Nepal, protesters stoned or burned vehicles whose drivers defied a general strike, police spokesman Binod Singh said.
Slightly larger than Greece, Nepal has more than 100 ethnic groups, many demanding separate provinces. They are backed by small parties, especially in the southern plains region.
Maoists, who control 40 percent of the 601-seat special assembly tasked to prepare the constitution, say they want to create states "recognising ethnic identities" of protesting groups.
However, Ram Chandra Paudel, a senior leader of the centrist Nepali Congress party, said the creation of states along ethnic lines would upset social harmony in a country dependent on aid and tourism.
"It is a very difficult situation," Paudel told Reuters. "We are trying hard to avoid further trouble and reach a consensus."
The assembly has missed several deadlines in the past and the Supreme Court has ruled no more extensions will be allowed.
The court has asked politicians to arrange an alternative if they fail to meet the deadline. Some say the assembly work could be passed on to the parliament. Fresh elections are seen as unlikely.
Instability in Nepal has regional implications for energy-hungry China and India who are eyeing its immense potential to generate hydroelectric power.

Companies shortlisted for A9 Perth-Inverness work
Companies have been shortlisted for three contracts worth up to £60m each for the design of new dual carriageway on the A9 between Perth and Inverness.
The contracts cover Birnam to Glen Garry, Glen Garry to Dalraddy and Dalraddy to Inverness.
The work forms part of a £3bn Scottish government project to dual the road completely between the two cities.
The construction work involving 80 miles (128.7km) is scheduled to be completed in 2025.
Government agency Transport Scotland said eight design consultancies or joint ventures have made shortlist.
They are AECOM/Mott MacDonald, Arup, Atkins/Mouchel, Capita, CH2M HILL/Fairhurst, Jacobs, URS and WSP/Ramboll/Fehily Timoney.
The companies are expected to receive invitations to tender for the contracts next month.
Transport Minister Keith Brown said upgrading the A9 between Perth and Inverness to dual carriageway was the most expensive transport project in Scotland's history.
He said it will exceed the cost of the M74, Queensferry Crossing and Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route combined.
'Hugely important'
Mr Brown said: "Some very complex and demanding challenges undoubtedly lie ahead, but given our track record on other major projects we are confident of delivery on time and on budget."
He added: "There are many challenges along this route which passes through areas that are hugely important in terms of Scotland's wildlife and landscape.
"One such section is Birnam to Tay Crossing, where we are working to minimise any impact to properties, the railway and the environment."
Following calls earlier this month from the Free Church of Scotland to accelerate the project, Mr Brown said that more than half of the new dual carriageway should be built by 2022.

I am using a TOSHIBA A200-12X laptop with VISTA. Recently I have noticed that the system recognize the printer and scanner and mouse on USB 2.0 ports but do not recognize my camera (Olympus) or do not recognize my NOKIA E90 phone. This is quite surprising because it did not happen with all equipments.
If you have some ideas about that thsi sould be very hepfull.

BMW i8 Inches Closer to Production
We've spotted the latest BMW i8 test mule cold weather endurance testing. This prototype reveals some new details never seen before and shows that the development is well underway for a debut in 2013.
For the first time the i8 is sporting the BMW Hoffmeister kink at the rear side window as well as the real side skirts that now match the
i8 Concept car
. Other changes are the new position of the door handles, the new sportier looking side mirrors and more visible kidney grilles.
In addition to the new details the amount of camouflage panels has dropped significantly. When compared this test mule to the previous spied i8 test mules the differences are dramatic.
BMW i8 winter testing March 2011
BMW i8 winter testing December 2012
While there is still a long way until we see the production i8 in 2014 this test mule makes me thing it is going to be a great looking car. Who else is excited about BMW electric super car?

Nissan has demonstrated new active safety technologies at the Nissan 360 event in California.
The innovations are being showcased on Nissan Leafs, combining the company's commitment to pursue sustainable mobility through zero emissions with its goal of a world with virtually no traffic accidents leading to death or serious injury. The new technology is also a step towards achieving autonomous driving.
The first innovation is advanced sensors. Laser scanners and Around View Monitor cameras monitor the surroundings of the vehicle in a full 360 degree circle, continually looking for obstacles, other vehicles and potential risks, as well as road signs and signals.
The second breakthrough is in the area of vehicle intelligence which enables the car to react to the data the advanced sensors collect.
Together the innovations enable the car to handle complex real-world road situations. Three new scenarios are being demonstrated at Nissan 360 for the first time:
– Autonomous side distance control
– Intersection entry and turning with oncoming traffic monitor
– Overtaking with oncoming traffic monitor
Side distance control is used on the highway. It enables the car to recognize when the lane is closed due to obstacles narrowing the travel path, and steer to avoid a collision. Such a situation might occur in the real world when lanes on a highway are closed for road works.
Intersection entry/turn with oncoming traffic monitor is an application for city driving. The Nissan LEAFs at the N360 event are capable of passing through a junction while avoiding oncoming traffic.
Overtaking with oncoming traffic monitor is a capability also used in urban areas. The vehicle can detect a parked car at the side of the road, check for a gap in oncoming traffic, and steer around the obstacle when it is safe to proceed.

Brennan was not so happy about going to school on this day because of an incident that had happened the previous Friday. He had previously complained to us about Daiki, a boy who "stalked" him at school. This 6th grade boy was not in his class but would follow him around and watch him when he was in the hallway. The final straw came when Daiki followed Brennan into the bathroom on Friday, watched him as he went, and then commented about his anatomy. Brennan was pretty freaked out by this and had said that he would not return to school until the boy was punished. Although I doubted that the school would punish such an act, no matter how weird it was to us Americans, I did write an email to Noriko to see if she could ask the school officials to encourage Daiki to no longer follow our son around. The fact that I had sent this email must have assured Brennan somewhat, because he did head in to school about the time I left for work.
This was my second, and final, day of teaching. I caught the 8:10 bus and got my things together: computer, handouts, and tea, before heading to the classroom. Since I knew how to get there this time, I didn't wait for Kiyoe. This ended up being a good thing, since she did not make an appearance in my classroom this time. Neither did two of the other professors who had attended Thursday's lecture- a lone professor, one of the ones that I did not know, was sitting near the front. I guess the novelty of an English lecture had worn off for the others. I talked about "Biotechnology" this time, including a discussion of some of the controversies surrounding certain recently developed procedures. My class went well again, I had a better idea this time how much material to cover and still allowed time for another impromptu quiz.
At 12:30, I met Evgeni for lunch. Brennan and I had run into him while we were shopping for sushi and we had agreed to meet for lunch in celebration of my extensive teaching responsibilities coming to an end. Evgeni had observed that it was probably time for Brennan to get braces soon, which Brennan later told me would have upset him if it had not come from a dentist. Evgeni and I walked to the engineering campus together and ate at the top of one of the buildings there. The 15th floor of the engineering hall had a very nice buffet for lunch that one could eat while enjoying the nice view out of the windows there. It started to rain as we ate, but luckily it tapered off in time for us to walk back to the medical school.
After I returned from lunch, Kiyoe sent me a table and some figures on which to base my own illustrations for my review article. Although I had finished writing, the next step was to prepare my own illustrations for the article. I worked on this some in the afternoon, but was not able to get very far. We had our group meeting at 4:30, like usual, and then I was able to catch the 5:35 bus home.
Trudy had made Chinese noodle soup for dinner. After we ate, we had a family devotional where we talked about Hebrews 12:1 and what it meant to have real faith. I related this to some of the things that we had seen in the movie on Sunday. We then played a game of "Family Feud", which Brennan had been upstairs in the office preparing, while Trudy was fixing dinner. He had written around ten categories of questions, each with the "top" half dozen or so answers, according to Brennan. Justin and Trudy comprised one team, while I made up the other. We gave our answers in categories such as "something you would eat for breakfast". The two of them beat me handedly and progressed to the "speed round", which Brennan had also prepared. We had a lot of fun playing this game together as a family. After we finished, it was soon time to go to bed.

La llegada fue algo brusca por parte de nuestro anfitrion steven. Por lo demas , el apartamento era muy agradable y nos dejaron un ventilador para no depender siempre del aire acondicionado.
El apartamento está muy bien, muy bien equipado y limpio. La ubicación es muy buena, porque estás cerca de la zona de restaurantes, bares, del puerto, etc..., pero a la vez es tranquila para poder dormir, lo único no tan bueno, que nosotros fuimos con coche y es un poco complicado aparcar por los alrededores, pero a parte de eso todo genial.
Un día no funcionó el wifi y rápidamente fue solucionado, fueron muy atentos. Por mi parte apartamento totalmente recomendable.
Great apartment with a really nice view. Plenty of room and the apartment included everything we needed. St Julians Bay is surrounded by nice restaurants and less than ten minutes walks to supermarkets and beaches. A very kind women from our own country welcomed us en explained everything. We could contact them anytime if we needed help, but fortunately that wasn't necessary. Thanks for the great stay, we had a very nice time!
Appartement très agréable, propre.
Je le recommande, il est vraiment très bien situé !
Le quartier est calme, il y a la clim' ! Vraiment très bien !
La estancia en el apartamento ha sido magnifica.
La localizacion en Silema inmejorable todo cercano paradas de bus ferrys supermercados.
Super limpio y estado igual que en las fotos.
Trato genial
What a memorable experience. The apartment was extremely clean and more than adequate for our 15 nights stay. Our host met us at the door- step although we were a little late arriving. We were shown around the apartment and given all the necessary information required. The apartment was well placed for Sliema and near to all the supermarkets etc. We would recommend to all. Many thanks to you all for your help in ensuring we had a perfect holiday.
L'appartamento è come si vede nell'annuncio, dotato di tutto quello che serve in un appartamento. Posizione centrale.
Unico appunto i cuscini sono troppo molli e le federe e le lenzuola sapevano di polvere, abbiamo dovuto lavarle.
The apartment is like you see on the advertising, fully furnished, all facilities needed in the apt are included. Centrally located.
Only one remark, the cushions are too soft and pillowcases and sheet smells like powder so we washed them.
Very nice apartment and perfect location. We had a nice stay here
The appartement was absolutely lovely! We have actually nothing bad to say about it. The check-in and check-out were easy and the host was friendly.
As we once had problems with the wifi we made a quick phone call, and came home shortly after to find it already replaced.
So we can only give a big thank you and a thumbs up!
El piso estaba bien y céntrico, muy cerca de la zona de ferries a La Valeta y barcos a Gozo y Comino, con un centro comercial al lado, lo cual venía bien para hacer la compra.
Durante el check-in en el apartamento se cobran los 200€ de depósito, te explican cómo usar la cocina, activan la corriente, etc.
Lo único que le ha faltado al piso es tener papel de wc, jabón para los platos y esas cosas que no te llevas de casa y son básicas para el hogar (por ejemplo, había estropajos para limpiar pero no jabón de platos...).
¡Lo recomiendo!

FLORENCE, S.C. – Francis Marion University seniors Jessica Lombardi and Jenna Kaiser were recently named to the 2008 All-Peach Belt Conference Volleyball Team, while FMU head coach Paul MacDonald was honored as one of the conference's "Co-Coaches of the Year."
MacDonald guided a team picked to finish fourth in the pre-season PBC poll to a 23-8 record, second-place finishes during the PBC regular-season and tournament, and to the program's third-ever NCAA Division II National Tournament invitation. During the season, MacDonald also picked up his 100th career coaching victory.
The Patriots, seeded fifth in the Southeast Regional to be played in Wingate, N.C., will play fourth-seeded Catawba College (20-10) on Friday at 5 p.m. in a first-round match. The regional semifinals are set for Saturday with the finals on Sunday.
Ticket prices for each session will be $8 for adults, $5 for students, and $3 for children (ages 12 and under). Live stats are available at http://www.sports.wingate.edu/2008_Southeast_Regional_Page.asp
Lombardi, a 5-11 middle blocker, leads the Patriots in kills per set (2.87) and hitting percentage (.254). In the PBC she ranks sixth in kills per set and ninth in hitting percentage. The Massillon, Ohio, native also averages 2.05 digs, 0.75 blocks, and 0.27 service aces per game. She has posted five double-doubles (kills and digs) and was named the PBC Player of the Week once during the regular season.
Lombardi has 1,267 career kills, 13th-best on the all-time Peach Belt list, and 990 career digs.
Kaiser, a 5-10 setter, directs the FMU offense and ranks second in the conference, and 49th nationally, in assists per set at 9.80. The Broomfield, Colo., native is also 14th in the conference in digs per set (2.62). Along the serving line, she registered 15 aces and committed only four errors in 319 total serves for a .987 percentage. Despite battling injuries, she recorded nine double-doubles, and was twice named the PBC Specialist of the Week this past season.
Kaiser ranks ninth on the PBC career list for assists with 3,924, and has also compiled 1,104 career digs.
It is the second time both have earned All-PBC honors. Lombardi was named to the 2007 squad, while Kaiser was on the 2006 team as well as being the 2005 Freshman of the Year.
Both also excel in the classroom, having been named to the PBC Presidential and FMU Swamp Fox Athletic-Academic honors three times.
Lombardi is a former All-Federal League selection and Stark County Player of the Year at Jackson High School. Kaiser is a former three-sport standout at Broomfield High School.

Using EBM Effectively
Using EBM effectively takes more than understanding how to interpret outcomes from something you read. It involves knowing the right question to ask, turning that question into a good search, knowing the best place to look, finding what is available and then using the evidence you find in the care of your patient. Use the "5 A's" as a step-by-step guide to locate best evidence.
- Assess
- Identify the clinical problem. What is it you want to know?
- Ask
- Use the PICO formula to create a good question:
- P=PATIENT – Who is your patient?
- I=INTERVENTION – Are you looking to diagnose? Treat? Learn about a prognosis?
- C=COMPARISON – Is there a control? Placebo? A "gold standard"?
- O=OUTCOME – What do you hope to accomplish? Better/best treatment? Decreased mortality?
- A good PICO might read "In an 86-year old man with coronary artery disease, is aspirin a more effective agent than heparin in reducing risk of stroke?"
- Use the PICO formula to create a good question:
- Acquire
- Use your PICO formula to search for good evidence. Start your search using only two to three terms - you can always add more. Use the information resources on the EBM home page as a starting point.
- Appraise
- What have you found? Where did you find it? Are the results significant to your patient? How strong is the evidence? Are there any confounding variables such as bias present?
- Apply
- Now apply and discuss the evidence you have found with your patient.

How Much Does it Cost to Program a Key Fob?
In the past, a car key was a basic cut with no security features. You could simply go to a locksmith to get a new key, but with a key fob, however, the process is much different.
There are some key fobs that have a separate key that starts the car and can also unlock the doors. If this is the case, replacing or reprogramming a key fob would not be vital since you could still use the key to get in and out of the car. There are other key fobs, however, that are part of the key itself. If this is lost or damaged, getting a new one is your only option.
How much is it?
- On average, programming a key fob is going to range anywhere from $40 to $100, depending on the make and model of the car. Most of the time, this can be done on your own.
- According to Edmunds.com, they state that an electronic key fob can cost $50 to $90, depending on the complexity of the design.
- Users on DodgeTalk.com stated that they paid $40 to $50 to have a dealer program their fob.
What is going to be included?
- Depending on the make and model of the car, a key fob is designed to unlock a door or trunk. This fob is generally attached to the key chain.
- Using radio wave signals, the key fob will be able to communicate directly with your car. The car and the key fob will both have memory chips that enable the fob to work. When the fob button is pressed, it will send a code to the car telling it what it should do.
- With most basic installation jobs, the car key will have to be inserted into the ignition and turned to the "on" position. When in position, a special action may be needed a few times in a row for it to go into program mode. When the car is in programming mode, a button on the fob will have to be pressed to make it work.
- A key fob can either be purchased from the dealership or a third-party retailer. The way that the key fob is programmed will depend on the make and model of the car, not the specific key fob.
What are the extra costs?
- With some fobs that are purchased online, some may require you to go to a local locksmith to properly program it.
- The cost of programming a key fob will be separate from purchasing one in the first place.
- If you want a key fob that has the capabilities of starting your car remotely, then you will have to purchase the automatic car starter as well. This is usually done at a dealership or at establishments such as Car Tunes or Radios, Knobs, Speakers, and Things.
Tips to know:
- If you are going to buy online, always make sure that the model is going to work with your make and model of your car. When buying a fob, you will need your car's make, model and the year it was manufactured.
- To find out how to program your remote, refer to ProgramYourRemote.com.
How can I save money?
- Talk with the dealership where you bought the car from in the first place. Depending on the dealer, some may be able to program the key for free or for a discounted rate.
- Oftentimes, there is a way around this fee. Most fobs can be programmed with a certain combination of button presses. If you cannot find this inside of the owner's manual, consider looking for a how-to guide on the internet.
- Consider looking for aftermarket fobs from an online store or local locksmith. However, with most third-party products, be sure to research before making the purchase.
- Try avoid going to the dealer and consider looking for key fobs on Amazon and eBay.
- Always try to program a key fob on your own before heading to a dealership.

Amidst rumors saying that the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime release date has been moved to early 2012 owing to Wi-Fi problems on the device, ASUS has confirmed that its shipment schedule for the well-celebrated Android tablet is still right on track.
An ASUS spokesperson confirmed to tech blog The Verge that the company has not made any changes to its original schedule for shipping the quad-core tablet starting on December 19 for non-online stores. ASUS had also confirmed earlier to The Verge that the Transformer tablet will be available online starting today, December 12.
The rumor about the delay in the release date for the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime came about when a customer who preordered the quad-core Android tablet from Canadian retailer NCIX received an email saying that the ASUS Transformer Prime release date worldwide has been delayed and that the Android tablet won't likely be available before Christmas.
The same email notice explained that the delay has something to do with the Wi-Fi range on the tablet.
The ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime Android tablet is said to be the world's first quad-core Android tablet. It is the first Android tablet to use the NVIDIA Tegra 3 (Kal-El) mobile processor that has four main CPU cores and a fifth "companion core"–a setup that NVIDIA asserts would make the Android tablet perform at crazy fast and crazy smooth speeds but without quickly draining the tablet's battery.
The ASUS Transformer Prime has a 10.1-inch touchscreen and is powered by Android 3.2 Honeycomb, with an upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich following shortly.
The 32-gigabyte model of the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime is expected to cost $500, while the 64-gigabyte version will cost $600. The optional Mobile Docking Station, which is what essentially makes the ASUS tablet a "transformer," is available as a separate accessory priced at $150.
If you want to understand why a lot of eyes are on the ASUS Transformer Prime tablet, check out this TidBit: Top 6 Reasons Why the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime Will End 2011 with a Loud Bang.

Again, did you flash the new bootloader using the Odin firmware.tar(stock) prior to flashing TWRP 2.7?
You would need to download and install stock NB4 firmware which includes the new modem and bootloader, THEN odin the TWRP 2.7, then you can flash custom rom from there.

Rockefeller Republican

dagamer34 - Monday, February 20, 2012 - linkI miss reference looking cards. Reply
LtGoonRush - Monday, February 20, 2012 - linkI don't, the aftermarket coolers are usually higher performance, and the reference coolers are actually pretty large volume-wise for the cooling performance they deliver. Reply
Alexvrb - Monday, February 20, 2012 - linkHave you seen a reference 7770? The Powercolor basically is reference for this card.
Anyway, which would you prefer:
1) A launch where every single launch card is reference design, and thus they are all the same.
2) A launch where there is variety among the early cards, and thus enthusiasts get to pick and choose based on what they are looking for with regards to cooling, factory clocks, warranty, and price. Reply
Andrew.a.cunningham - Monday, February 20, 2012 - linkI know which one I prefer - you don't know boring until you have to write up ten cards that all look, perform, and cost exactly the same. Let's talk about the 7970 launch... Reply
Death666Angel - Tuesday, February 21, 2012 - linkIt is a nightmare for tinkerers though, since you have to check the layout of each card to know if it fits with after market cooling solutions or water coolers.
I don't mind these custom solutions. I bought a Hawk HD5770 because of the great cooler and better voltage options. But having a standard line is nice to have too. :-) Reply
CeriseCogburn - Wednesday, March 21, 2012 - linkSo you're saying the infamous G80/G92 nVidia cards that had 8 memory sizes, 5 bit widths, multiple memory speeds, a large assortment of shader options, and all those differences mixed and rematched on many varied cards was not boring...
I'll have to remember that "rebranding" was anything but stale and boring. Reply
CeriseCogburn - Friday, February 15, 2013 - linkI miss all the amd fanboys screaming rebrand.
Suddenly they are silent.
Pathetic. Reply
Pneumothorax - Wednesday, February 22, 2012 - linkI think this anti-reference card movement has a hidden agenda of eventually killing the practice of using reference cards for bios modding. Such as 5850-5870 & 6950-6970... Reply
warpuck - Saturday, May 26, 2012 - linkThey only come with one crossfire bridge slot, I currenly have a 6770 and 2 5750s crossfired on a MSI fxa890-gd70. This about the same as a nvidia 460. I also bought them in 3 increments. Laying out $250 in cash was to much for a 460.
This MB is touchy about how much power is supplied to the CPU and GPUs. 3 to 4 cards is easy if they are low watts. A 95 watt 4 core is good enough also. This can be done with a 700 watt supply if you go easy on the OC end. Pushing a 125 watt CPU is not recommended. I have no problems with bottlenecking with a 960T @ stock and a 220 setting for the northbridge. Most review don't consider the the cost of a power supply needed to crossfire the GPU beasts. Reply

While the Global X Social Media Index ETF (SOCL[1]) has posted a 50% rise over the past year, it has been a volatile ride. There was an 11% drop in late October and 9% fall during the first part of this year. In other words, SOCL really isn't for the faint of heart — and it's a good bet that the volatility will continue.
[2]No doubt, the ETF is an effective way to tap into the social media mega trend. And yes, it also ties into mobile. Some of the top holdings of the ETF include Google (GOOG[3]), Facebook (FB[4]), LinkedIn (LNKD[5]), Twitter (TWTR[6]) and Pandora (P[7]).
While it's true that social media remains a growth business — with a big boost from mobile — there could be some headwinds, especially for U.S.-based operators. They are coming under scrutiny because of the NSA scandal, which could make it tough to crank up user momentum in foreign markets. There are also mounting competitive pressures, such as in Asia, including Line and WeChat.
But there are also indications that smartphone growth may be slackening, which would weigh heavily on SOCL. Take a look at Apple's (AAPL[8]) latest earnings report. The company shipped 51 million iPhones, short of Wall Street expected 55 million. There was also weakness from Samsung and LG.
Oh and then there's Yahoo (YHOO[9]), which has made heavy investments in mobile. While this has resulted in amassing a user base of more than 400 million monthly uniques, it has been tough to monetize. On the latest earnings call, CEO Marissa Mayer noted: "our mobile revenue is still not material." That's bad news for YHOO stock and SOCL.
Now it's true that Facebook posted a blow-out earnings report that boosted the value of SOCL. Yet the company is fairly unique, in terms of its massive user base and treasure trove of data. What's more, FB stock is already fetching a hefty valuation. It's forward price-to-earnings ratio is 37X, which compares to Apple's 10X and Google's 18X.
And FB stock is not alone. After all, LinkedIn is trading at a nose-bleed multiple of 97X and Yelp is at whopping 441X. Then there is TWTR stock, which doesn't even have an earnings multiple!
But keep in mind that TWTR will report its earnings on Wednesday and LNKD will report on Thursday. And if either stock misses, there will be some serious downward pressure on SOCL. LNKD represents 9% of SOCL assets, and TWTR is another 6%.
So for those looking to benefit from the social/mobile wave, it may be best to wait a while. You might be able to get SOCL at a discount, especially in light of the ETF's volatility.

It depend on whether your the Petitioner or the Respondent. If you are the Petitioner and filed the default judgment packet then all you are waiting for is for is the judgment to be returned back to you signed by the judge. If you are the Respondent the default suggests that you did not respond to the divorce case and the Petitioner is asking the court to move this case to final judgment without your participation. It is unclear in your question that you were properly served the Divorce Summons and Petition and are aware of the issues of the case itself. If you were properly served you would have 30 days to respond. If you do not respond then Petitioner can proceed in the case by default, move forward to judgment without your participation. If you were not properly served and did not receive notice and are just finding out that the divorce is being processed by way of default and want to be a part of the case, you will have to file a timely Motion to Set Aside the Judgment and file a response. There is a time limit to file this motion. If you are the Respondent and do nothing then a copy of the Judgment signed by the judge should be sent to you by mail at your last known address.Ask a similar question

Assuming you are Petitioner, you will either receive a 'reject' of the Judgment pkg (although unlikely as it appears that there was a type of reject for the add'l docs filed 3/21) or within 2-4 months, you will receive a filed copy of the Judgement and Notice of Entry (indicating that your divorce is final as of the date that it is stamped).

Styris century seals 39 run victory for the Sharks
Harjit Mehat | cricket20
Scott Styris smashed the third fastest century in the history of t20 cricket to help the Sussex Sharks seal a 39 run victory over the Gloucestershire Gladiators at the County Ground in Hove.
The Kiwi smashed 100 runs from just 37 to help the home side post an imposing total of 230-4 despite the early loss of Chris Nash (1) and Luke Wright (1) after just seven deliveries of the match.
Styris (100) arrived at the crease after Matt Prior (60) was run out in the 12th over; the Kiwi wasted little time at the crease as he quickly reached 42 from just 21 before the game was turned on its head in the 18th over.
With the game evenly balanced Styris smashed James Fuller (0-57) for 38 runs which included 10 runs from no balls to put the home side firmly in charge.
Styris ended the match 100 not out, having smashed five boundaries and nine sixes during a 4th wicket stand of 129 with Murray Goodwin (55) who was dismissed from the final ball on the innings.
Faced with a victory target of 231 it was little surprise the Gladiators failed to chase down the Sharks total with almost 12 runs an over needed to seal a place in the Finals day next month in Cardiff.
Dan Housego (47) and Alex Gidman (43) offered some hope but with a mountain to climb and no Styris type blitz created the Gladiators slumped to defeat.

For press inquiries or to schedule an interview with the Attorney General please contact:

About Ellen F. Rosenblum
Attorney General Hardy Myers today filed 15 court actions in Marion County Circuit Court against violators of Oregon's "No Call" List telemarketing law as the Department of Justice continues its tough enforcement of the year-old statute.
"This third sweep of actions reminds telemarketers calling into Oregon that we have strict laws protecting Oregonians' privacy," Myers said. "Oregon consumers like the new law that limits "cold calls" into their homes and continue to support our efforts to enforce it."
Named in Assurances of Voluntary Compliance that admit no law violations are:
Under the terms of the assurances, all 15 businesses agree to comply with Oregon's telemarketing laws and make changes in the way they do business in the state. Those named will pay a total of $63,225 to the Department of Justice consumer protection and education fund.
Two businesses, Farmers Insurance and Western American Glass Enterprises, signed second agreements with the Department of Justice.
Patricia Huth, also known as Patricia Coble, who markets vacation tour packages as Wild West Tours, Bob Less Tours, Trade Wind Tours and Pacific Activity Center has agreed to permanently cease telemarketing in Oregon and will not conduct vacation tour marketing in the state.
Department of Justice investigators found that Ms. Huth's telemarketing business in addition to violating the "No Call" law violated another section of the Unlawful Trade Practices Act by telling consumers that they had won a prize or raffle when in fact, they had not. Approximately 26 consumers complained of the misleading telemarketing promotion used to sell vacation tour packages.
"No Call" List violations ranged from companies telemarketing into the state without subscribing to the "No Call" list to companies that purchased the lists but did not take the necessary steps to comply with the law.
Telephone subscribers wanting to register their residential numbers on the List may call the list administrator, Oregon No Call, at 1-877-700-6622 and ask to have a registration form mailed to their home. Consumers also may visit the Oregon "No Call" List web site at www.ornocall.com.
[UPDATE: The Oregon No Call web site is no longer operational. To sign up for the federal Do Not Call registry, go to www.donotcall.gov.] And then add the hyperlink to www.donotcall.gov.
Consumers pay $6.50 the first year and $3 a year for each additional year they remain on the list. The list is published quarterly but consumers can register at anytime. Depending on which part of the quarter a person registers, it could take up to 90 days to appear on the list. The fees are non-fundable and consumers will be notified when it is time to renew the registration. Online registration will be available within the next few months.
Consumers wanting information on "No Call" or any other consumer issue may call the Attorney General's consumer hotline at (503) 378-4320 (Salem area only), (503) 229-5576 (Portland area only) or toll-free at 1-877-877-9392. The Department of Justice web site is www.doj.state.or.us.

It may sound funny, but it's costing hundreds of millions a year.
"Ofgem wants to make sure that consumers are paying no more than they need to for their electricity, and lives are not put at risk," Andrew Wright, the regulator's chief, said today.
"It's critical that suppliers do all they can to clamp down on electricity theft," he said in a statement.
"This is why Ofgem is introducing new rules to encourage better theft detection."
Ofgem said there are up to 25,000 cases of theft a year – those are the ones that are detected – that cost consumers at least £200-million. That's £7 per customer.
And, the energy companies say, up to one-third of the electricity stolen is used to power marijuana farming operations.
Ofgen unveiled new rules that would force the energy suppliers to act or face penalties. Among the proposals:
- Suppliers would form a "national theft risk assessment service" to target those who are stealing.
- They would also strike a code to supervise how investigations are done.
- Companies would co-ordinate efforts where pot farms are concerned with the Home Office and local police.
- Best practices would be shared among the suppliers.
- Ofgem also wants a 24-hour snitch line.
(The proposals hardly seem onerous, so maybe the regulator is a bit relaxed, after all.)
Markets troubled
Investors are in an ugly mood today, troubled by political turmoil in Europe, unrest in Egypt and ongoing concerns about China's economy. Better-than-expected readings on the U.S. jobs market added some optimism, but failed to move markets into positive territory.
"It looks as if we could be headed for another summertime crisis in the euro zone, as Portugal's government crumbles and bond yields spike," said market analyst David Madden of IG in London.
"Combine this with a political crisis in Egypt and yet more bad news from China and you have the recipe for a very choppy day on the markets. For European markets, things could only get worse tomorrow as the US takes the day off for Independence Day."
Tokyo's Nikkei lost 0.3 per cent, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng 2.5 per cent. The troubles then spread to Europe, where London's FTSE 100, Germany's DAX and the Paris CAC 40 were hit, and then into North America.
"European equities are sharply lower this morning as traders react to weaker non-manufacturing PMI data from China that again cast uncertainty over the rate of growth in the world's second-largest economy," said Matt Basi of CMC Markets.
"As you might expect, cyclical stocks have been the biggest fallers on the numbers, with miners and financials dominating the FTSE fallers list," he said in a research note.
"Concerns over instability in Egypt are well founded given the swell of unrest in recent weeks, and with political in-fighting rearing its ugly head in Portugal the market breathed a collective sigh of disappointment as once more we're forced to contemplate the impact of political incompetence on asset prices."
Dow Jones industrial average and S&P 500 futures also slipped.
Euro crisis returns
Europe's crisis is roaring back, this time on mounting political instability.
European stocks tumbled, and some bond yields spiked, as Portugal's government was rocked by resignations amid harsh austerity measures, The Globe and Mail's Eric Reguly reports. Greek troubles also hit the markets.
"Portugal had, until now, succeeded in keeping out of the limelight, quietly getting on with tough reforms while everyone fretted about the bigger worries of Spain and Italy," said IG's Mr. Madden.
"Markets don't like to return to problems they thought had been solved, but the slow-motion disintegration of the Portuguese coalition and the alarming spike in bond yields shows that the medicine of austerity is still a very tough pill to swallow."
Ironically, the political troubles mount just as the embattled euro zone shows signs of beginning to return to some semblance of economic stability.
European Commission chief José Manuel Barroso warned of the potential for greater trouble.
"The initial reaction of the markets shows the obvious risk that the financial credibility recently built up by Portugal could be jeopardized by the current political instability," he said.
"If this happens it would be especially damaging for the Portuguese people, particularly as there were already preliminary signs of economic recovery," he added in a statement.
"This delicate situation requires a great sense of responsibility from all political forces and leaders."
RIM tumbles
Shares of Research In Motion Ltd. are sinking again today, continuing a decline that began with last week's earnings report as investors seemingly reject the BlackBerry maker's call for patience.
Shares of RIM, which has rebranded itself as BlackBerry but whose legal name remains Research In Motion, are down about 1.6 per cent on Nasdaq.
That follows yesterday's decline on Nasdaq of 5.7 per cent.
RIM's latest troubles began last Friday when the Canadian company posted a first-quarter loss of $84-million (U.S.), or 16 cents a share, also reporting a jump in revenue but weaker-than-expected sales of its new BlackBerry 10 devices.
That led to a plunge in its stock price of almost 28 per cent on Friday alone as RIM also forecast an operating loss for the second quarter, saying that the smartphone market "remains highly competitive, making it difficult to estimate units, revenue and levels of profitability."
RIM had been buoyed by strong reviews for the new devices, but that failed to spark the level of sales expected by analysts.
Competition in the industry is fierce against the likes of Apple Inc.'s iPhone, Samsung's Galaxy and devices powered by Google Inc.'s Android operating system.
When he unveiled the earnings results on Friday, chief executive officer Thorsten Heins suggested shareholders be patient as the new BB10 phones are just a few months old.
Analysts have certainly shown no such patience, downgrading RIM stock as the shares sank.
Just yesterday, for example, CIBC World Markets analyst Todd Coupland cut his price target on the stock to $14 from $20, while Raymond James analyst Steven Li cited the fact that RIM earnings "missed on every key metric," saying he's concerned.
"We remain concerned around the lack of sell-through for BB10, the level of decline in services revenue, and now also cash burn as we are back to forecasting operating losses," Mr. Li said in a research note.
"While some of BBRY's assets (enterprise/services) could surface additional value in a transaction, we balance that with the potential for further deterioration in fundamentals in the meantime especially if sell-through does not improve (lower gross margins, more cash burn, potential inventory writedowns)," he added, referring to RIM by its U.S. stock symbol.

Trade deficit shrinks
Canada's trade deficit narrowed in May to $303-million as a decline in imports outpaced a drop in exports.
The shrinking deficit may be good news, but the erosion of trade certainly isn't.
Export volumes fell 0.7 per cent and prices 1 per cent, leading to an overall decline of 1.6 per cent, Statistics Canada said today.
That was less than the 3.2-per-cent drop in imports, whose prices slipped 1.2 per cent and volumes 2 per cent.
Exports of minerals and autos led the export decline.
Exports to the United States, Canada's biggest trading partner, slipped 1.6 per cent, but that, too, was less than the 2-per-cent drop in U.S. imports to Canada.
Exports to other countries fell 1.6 per cent.
"While the headline trade figure may have been a pleasant surprise, the detail was less encouraging with two-way trade declining," said Emanuella Enenajor of CIBC World Markets.
Carriers to launch challenge
Some wireless carriers are planning to challenge parts of the federal telecom regulator's new wireless code.
BCE Inc., Rogers Communications Inc., Telus Corp., SaskTel and MTS are among a group of carriers that is poised to file a motion with the Federal Court of Appeal, as early as today, seeking leave to appeal from certain facets of the CRTC's wireless code, The Globe and Mail's Rita Trichur and Steve Ladurantaye report.
Specifically, the carriers appear to take issue with measures that give the code "retrospective application" to wireless contracts signed before the code is due to come into force, according to a notice of motion and other legal documents.
Carney's choice
Mark Carney is wasting little time in dealing with a mounting controversy in Britain over the images on the country's banknotes.
Some Britons have been up in arms over the Bank of England's decision in April to swap the image of social reformer Elizabeth Fry with that of Winston Churchill on the £5 note starting in 2016.
With the exception of the Queen, that would mean Britain's money would carry no image of a woman. The only other woman pictured on a banknote was Florence Nightingale, who was on the £10 note until the mid-1990s.
Mr. Carney, who only started his job as central bank governor, faces a huge online campaign and petition.
On his first day, Mr. Carney received a letter from MP Mary Macleod, who chairs a parliamentary women's group.
She wasn't complaining about Sir Winston, but rather the fact that the "symbolism of having no women on our bank notes leaves a chasm where there once was inspiration," according to the letter to the former Bank of Canada chief.
"What irony it is that on the very notes that we earn and spend, we will now see no women at all," she told Mr. Carney.
"This is completely unrepresentative of the role that women have played and continue to play in our country's history.
Women of outstanding achievement such as Rosalind Franklin, who contributed to the discovery of DNA; Emmeline Pankhurst, the figurehead of female suffrage; and National Trust founder and campaigner against poverty Octavia Hill, are all surely more than worthy contenders."
Mr. Carney responded in a letter today, pledging to discuss the issue and announce a decision by the end of this month.
"I fully recognize that, with Sir Winston replacing Elizabeth Fry as the character on the £5 note - in the absence of any other changes to the Bank of England's notes - none of the four characters on our notes would be a woman," Mr. Carney said.
"That is not the bank's intention," he added in the letter posted on the central bank's website.
"I therefore understand fully the concern that has been raised by you, and many others, about the potential absence of a female character on the series of four Bank of England notes. I believe that our notes should celebrate the diversity of great British historical figures and their contributions in a wide range of fields."

ARM Trip Report
No, that's not a mis-spelling of "cheap", it's the nickname of the Chihuahua and El Pacifico train that passes through the Copper Canyon. My wife and I went on a tour of northern Mexico, which included a ride on that train. We boarded the daily train in the tiny town of La Fuerte about 50 miles inland from the port city of Los Moches, where the route begins its seriously complicated climb across the Occidental Sierra Madre mountains to the inland city of Chihuahua. There are some 86 tunnels and 37 major bridges, along with no end of smaller ones en route.
The train was promised to arrive "sometime between eight and ten this morning." However, it was only a little late. We boarded our very comfortable passenger cars about 8:30 in the morning. As we later learned, we were the first class section. A second train with "tourist" accommodations left an hour later. Our train had both a dining car and a bar car, both quite comfortable.
Those mountains are not extraordinarily high, reaching to just over 8,000 feet. But they are an incredibly tangled mass of volcanic ridges and valleys. Even California's Big Four who hammered the track through the Rockies in 1869 would have been challenged by these conditions. First proposed in 1871, the last rail wasn't laid until 1961, ending ninety years of frustration. Not long after we started, we began to see why this was such a problem.
Shortly thereafter we pulled off on a siding. Trackworkers were busy repairing a section of the main line, so we waited a bit.
Soon the workers moved off the track to allow a west-bound train go by. We backed up past the siding switch, which was then thrown to allow us to continue eastward. The westbound train was a variant on TOFC traffic. It consisted of flatcars with RVs lashed to them. After seeing the landscape and riding over some of the easier roads, we could understand how the RV folk preferred to take the train. They all rode inside their RVs, as there was no other option for them.
After about six hours of passing through some very spectacular rugged countryside, we reached Divisadero, near the mid-point of the route to Chihuahua.
We thought that our Copper Canyon ride would be the end of train travel for us, but we were mistaken. A few days later, we were in the tiny town of Nuevo Casas Grandes. Our only reason for being there was that it is quite near the even tinier town of Mata Ortiz. This tiny town is much more famous, thanks to a fellow named Quezada. When the local logging business shut down, there was no work for anybody. Quezada began to create beautiful pottery, based on the work of the long-vanished local tribe. His work became spectacularly successful, and practically everybody in town is now a potter.
In this tiny town there is a tiny train, powered by a four-cylinder Fiat engine.
We all clambered aboard this contraption, and rode all of 200 yards down the track, where we climbed off and went to lunch. On our return trip we saw the "real" train a mixed consist, of half a dozen men in one tiny open car and a load of hay bales in the second one.
Seriously, this is a real train. It runs from Nuevo Casas Grandes to Mata Ortiz, once each way each day. The track has been abandoned by FerroMex, and officially no trains have run on it since the lumber company formerly in Mata Ortiz shut down some years ago. However, some local guys have cobbled together this rig and seem to be making a go of it.

DUI Driver Charged in Mission Viejo Crash
MISSION VIEJO (CNS) - A convicted drunk driver accused of crashing a car into a
Kourosh Keshmiri, 27, of
Keshmiri, who was believed to be drunk at the time of the accident, was charged with murder based on his conviction for misdemeanor driving under the influence on
Keshmiri also is accused of driving under the influence in June and pleaded not guilty on Oct. 8.
Attorney Christopher Jafari, who represented Keshmiri in both cases, declined comment. He said he would be meeting with Keshmiri's family later today to discuss his client's case.
The victim, 60-year-old Kenneth Jackson, was sleeping in his bedroom at the time of the Sunday crash, according to Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Walker.
"It actually penetrated the house," Orange County Sheriff's Lt. Jerry Carlson said of the crash. Video from the scene showed the late-model maroon Cadillac
Keshmiri was allegedly driving in excess of 50 mph in a neighborhood where the speed limit is 25 mph,
Hallock said there had been two men inside of the Cadillac. Both had minor injuries and needed no medical attention.
Keshmiri was charged this year with driving on a suspended license, a misdemeanor, according to court records. He was scheduled to appear in court for a pretrial hearing in that case on Jan. 23. In 2010, Keshmiri was put on three years of informal probation, which expired in September, and was given the standard fines and ordered to participate in an alcohol program for first offenders, according to court records.
A natural gas line was severed during the crash, and needed to be capped before a tow truck could extract the car from the home, Hallock said.

The way you tell the Christmas story, it all sounds so simple. So simple. Oh, don't get me wrong, I really like it. It's just that for so long now people have been telling my story and the way they tell it, it all sounds so simple and easy, so neat and tidy, that I hardly recognize myself in the story. It's not your fault. It all started a long time ago. Luke and that other fellow Matthew, they started it all. They wrote my story down and wouldn't you know it they cleaned it all up. But who can blame them. Nobody likes messy birth stories. And as birth stories go, my baby's birth was a really messy one.read more

How can those of us living in the 21st century understand the Jesus of history? We think very differently from the way the people who wrote the New Testament in the first century thought. Can we any longer believe, for example, that when Jesus entered this world his arrival was announced by a star that appeared newly in the heavens or that his birth was heralded by angels breaking through the midnight sky to sing to hillside shepherds? Can we, who both understand genetics and know that women have an egg-cell, still believe that his mother was a virgin and his father the Holy Spirit?read more

It's interesting to see what Jesus thought about beliefs. Jesus, in his parable of the Good Samaritan, makes it clear that the righteous one is not the Pharisee or the lawyer, who are learned and who know about the law, correct belief, or so on. The righteous one is the one who cares for his neighbor, who reaches out to the stranger in need.read more
Easter calls attention to the traditional, fundamental "beliefs" associated with the Christian religion – if only for a day. The secular world pays little attention to the nuances of Christian "faith" in a post-Christian world. Easter is a liturgical season that lasts for seven weeks. In Christian tradition, the time between the resurrection of Jesus and his "ascension" into the sky (Pentecost) replaces the time between the Jewish Feast of the Passover and the giving of the law to Moses on Mt. Sinai. Not only do most Christians concentrate on the resurrection story – often literally. Editorial writers for supposedly sophisticated secular media seem to feel obligated to attempt to find meaning in the traditional religious legend of a dead man walking out of his tomb. But "faith" does not mean "belief." "Faith" means "trust." "Faith" further means "confidence."read more

The dry bones raised by Ezekiel are a metaphor for those who died in the service of God's justice: those who died working to restore God's distributive justice-compassion to God's Earth, and who themselves never saw the transformation. The army of dry bones is an army exiled from justice. Fairness demands that if Jesus was resurrected into an Earth transformed into God's realm of justice-compassion, then all the other martyrs who died too soon should also be raised with him. "But in fact," Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 15:20, "Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died." It is the Christ – the transformed and transfigured post-Easter Jesus – who has started that general resurrection, which restores justice-compassion to a transformed Earth. The transformation has begun with Jesus, and continues with you and me – IF we sign on to the program.read more

• San Jose and Colorado have clinched two of the four National Lacrosse League West Division playoff berths. The Jax can clinch with a win and at least one Edmonton (4-9) loss; the Rush play Colorado twice and then Calgary. Two Edmonton losses also would seal a berth for Portland. Two Jax wins would earn a spot; Portland plays at Buffalo on April 26 in its regular-season finale. Calgary (5-9) also is in the West playoff mix.
San Jose and Portland are 1-1 against each other. The Stealth won 12-9 at the Rose Garden, the Jax 12-10 at San Jose.
