MacGyver's rocket assembly was much sexier.
I was going to title this piece "Angelina Rubs 'Salt' in the Wound," but knowing our readers (hi Dad), I figured it would come across as dirty. Besides, considering the content, the "MacGyver" reference is much more appropriate.In the latest clip from Salt, Angelina's character reacts to being cornered like any good super spy would by constructing a rocket launcher out of a fire extinguisher, an office chair and some common "interrogation room" chemicals. Granted, the CIA may keep rocket fuel in their interrogation rooms, which is why I'm willing to suspend disbelief.Watch Angelina Jolie go "MacGyver" after the jump.

Chlophedianol/ chlorcyclizine
Generic Name: chlophedianol/chlorcyclizine (KLOE-fe-DYE-a-nol/klor-SYE-klih-zeen)
Brand Name: Biclora
Chlophedianol/ chlorcyclizine is used for:
Relieving cough and other symptoms, such as runny nose, sneezing, itchy nose or throat, and itchy or watery eyes, due to colds, hay fever, or allergies. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Chlophedianol/chlorcyclizine is an antihistamine and cough suppressant combination. The antihistamine works by blocking histamine, which reduces allergy symptoms, such as watery eyes and sneezing. The cough suppressant works in the brain to help decrease the cough reflex.
Do NOT use chlophedianol/ chlorcyclizine if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in chlophedianol/chlorcyclizine
- you are unable to urinate or are having an asthma attack
- you are taking sodium oxybate (GHB) or you have taken furazolidone or a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (eg, phenelzine) within the last 14 days
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using chlophedianol/ chlorcyclizine:
Some medical conditions may interact with chlophedianol/chlorcyclizine. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have a history of adrenal gland problems (eg, Addison disease); heart problems (eg, fast, slow, or irregular heartbeat); high blood pressure; heart blood vessel problems; a stroke; glaucoma or increased pressure in the eyes; seizures; or an overactive thyroid
- if you have a history of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or other lung or breathing problems (eg, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, sleep apnea); if you have a chronic cough; or if your cough occurs with large amounts of mucus
- if you have a blockage of your bladder, stomach, or bowels; ulcers; an enlarged prostate or other prostate problems; or trouble urinating
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with chlophedianol/chlorcyclizine. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Furazolidone, linezolid, MAOIs (eg, phenelzine), or sodium oxybate (GHB) because they may increase the risk of chlophedianol/chlorcyclizine's side effects
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if chlophedianol/chlorcyclizine may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use chlophedianol/ chlorcyclizine:
Use chlophedianol/chlorcyclizine as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Take chlophedianol/chlorcyclizine by mouth with or without food. If stomach upset occurs, take with food to reduce stomach irritation.
- If you miss a dose of chlophedianol/chlorcyclizine and you are taking it regularly, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use chlophedianol/chlorcyclizine.
Important safety information:

- Do not drink alcohol while you are taking chlophedianol/chlorcyclizine.
- Chlophedianol/chlorcyclizine has an antihistamine and a cough suppressant in it. Before you start any new medicine, check the label to see if it has an antihistamine and a cough suppressant in it too. If it does or if you are not sure, check with your doctor or pharmacist.
- Do NOT exceed the recommended dose or take chlophedianol/chlorcyclizine for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor.
- If new symptoms occur, or if cough persists for more than 1 week; goes away and comes back; or is accompanied by a fever, rash, or persistent headache, check with your doctor.
- Do not use chlophedianol/chlorcyclizine for a cough with a lot of mucus. Do not use for a long-term cough (eg, caused by asthma, emphysema, smoking). However, you may use it for these conditions if your doctor tells you to.
- Chlophedianol/chlorcyclizine may cause you to become sunburned more easily. Avoid the sun, sunlamps, or tanning booths until you know how you react to chlophedianol/chlorcyclizine. Use a sunscreen or wear protective clothing if you must be outside for more than a short time.
- Chlophedianol/chlorcyclizine may interfere with skin allergy tests. If you are scheduled for a skin test, talk to your doctor. You may need to stop taking chlophedianol/chlorcyclizine for a few days before the tests.

Full Length Test
In a certain experiment, we are investigating the retarding force that a fluid exerts on an object moving through it. We guess that the size of the object is a factor, so we include A, the cross-sectional area, in an equation. The relative velocity between the object and the fluid is a factor v, as well as the density of the fluid ρ. So we guess
where k is a proportionality constant with some appropriate units. Before we run the experiment, we do not know the values of the exponents m, n, and p.
The chart gives the data for a certain fluid.
Experiment object A (cm2) v (m/s) F (N)
1 cork ball 1.5 7.0 0.020
2 cork ball 1.5 3.5 0.005
3 steel ball 1.5 3.5 0.005
4 steel ball 3.0 3.5 0.010
5 steel ball 4.5 3.5 0.015
6 steel ball 3.0 14.0 0.160
Which pair of experiments indicates that retarding force does not depend on the density of the object?

The Department of Residential Life, Housing and Food Service currently has a multi‐year contract with Chartwells College and University Dining Services to provide dining services on the University of Nevada, Reno campus. Dining Services is comprised of one residence dining hall which serves over 2600 meals per day, as well as a convenience store, a food court, three casual restaurants, a coffee cart, and the Silver and Blue Catering operation. Dining Services is a large campus entity, employing 8 full time managerial staff; 77 full time cooks, chefs, kitchen associates, and service associates; 15 part time staff; and 80 student workers. Additionally, a large catering department is contracted by the University. The goal is to purchase quality food and prepare healthy meals for students, faculty, staff, and guests using locally grown and sustainably produced sources where possible, and use food preparation and distribution practices that minimize energy use and waste generation.
Sustainability efforts underway or in the process of implementation
- Biodegradable food/kitchen waste is sent to an off‐site composting facility.
- An additional 1 percent of meal plan revenue is committed to sustainability initiatives.
- Recycling of fryer shortening.
- Recycling of plastic, aluminum, glass, and paper. A cardboard recycling bin was added for dining services.
- The addition of more locally produced products to menus, including salad greens grown hydroponically on campus.
- A commitment to use the greenest cleaning products available.
Short‐Term Goals (1 year)
- Design a marketing campaign to educate students, faculty, staff and the community about dining hall sustainable practices and highlighting the best way to reduce, reuse and recycle. This will include updating the campus sustainability website.
- Minimize disposable trays, plates and utensils and minimize the use of reusable items that require large amounts of water to wash.
- Conduct tests of biodegradable and compostable flatware and disposables in Food Services. Depending upon the success of the testing, compostable products may or may not replace non‐biodegradable products. These products can be significantly more expensive (50 percent cost increase over regular plastic).
- Use cleaning chemicals that are Green Seal certified (www.greenseal.org).
- Support local growers.
Intermediate Goals (1‐5 years)
- Add as many organic and/or local products as possible.
- Create an organic café (student initiative).
- Add sustainability language to all new tenant contracts.
Long‐Term Goals (5‐10 and 10‐20+ years)
- Replace aging equipment as needed with energy‐efficient ENERGY STAR® models.
- All purchase orders to vendors will contain language regarding sustainability and sustainable criteria as part of a "basis for award" for all RFPs.
- Purchase socially responsible food items from firms that fairly support workers by providing a living wage and encourage fair trade. (This will also reduce the transportation distance of goods from their source to our campus thus reducing energy consumption and pollution.)
- Increase certified sustainable meat, poultry, fish and dairy products and increase certified organic produce. Initiate a pilot program featuring locally grown and fresh, organic produce at the Down Under dining facility.
- Create a regional closed‐loop food system by observing sustainability criteria for all purchasing, food preparation and service, presentation, cleaning and waste disposal, equipment and supplies, facility design and renovation, and utilities that includes evaluating and improving:
- The ways in which energy is used and the types of energy used.
- How waste is managed by promoting recycling and composting.
- The types of food purchased, emphasizing local and seasonal items.
- How food is delivered, received and stored. (This is a HUGE emitter of GHG. The distance our food travels is a big problem not only in petroleum consumption but also in refrigeration.)
- How food is prepared, cooked and served.
- Work with campus planners and waste disposal company to site a vessel for composting all disposable products, pulp, and post‐consumer waste.
- Network with other schools, universities, and communities to increase communication and the sharing of best practices for creating a sustainable food system.
- Provide economical, high quality, healthful and nutritious foods without additives, pesticides or preservatives.

Panna Cotta is on of life's simple pleasures. Next to Tiramisu it's my favorite dessert. Once you have the basic recipe down the flavors are just about endless. In fact we're well on our way to creating an entire category devoted solely to panna cottas. We've made: Pomegranate Panna Cotta, Limoncello Panna Cotta, Nutella Panna Cotta, and of course basic Vanilla Panna Cotta.
Other than being insanely delicious the best part is that it will take you ONLY 10 minutes to make this and then you'll pop it into the refrigerator to set up. It might be the most perfect dessert for parties because you can make this in the morning {or even the night before} and then forget about it. Leaving more time to decide on what wine you'll be serving with dinner or what shoes will go best with your outfit ; )
Chocolate Amaretto Panna Cotta
What you'll need:
2 cups heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup sugar
2 ounces Scharffen Berger Bittersweet Fine Artisan Dark Chocolate, 70% Cacao – Roughly Chopped
.25 ounce {1 packet} Knox gelatin
3 tablespoons cold water
1/4 cup Amaretto Di Saronno
fresh raspberries – to garnish, optional
What to do:
1. Prepare your custard cups/ramekins by spraying them with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Place cream, sugar into a sauce pan and heat over medium heat. Stirring frequently with a wooden spoon. When sugar is well combined with cream add chocolate, continue cooking until it nears boiling. Remove from heat. Add Amaretto.
3. WHILE cream is cooking, into a small ramekin add cold water. Sprinkle gelatin package on top of water. Set aside.
4. When cream mixture is complete and while it's still warm add gelatin mixture. Whisk together until well combined. Equally divide the mixture into your prepared custard cups/ramekins. Place in refrigerator to set up for a minimum of 2 hours OR until firm. To plate, run a blunt knife around the edges of the cups and the panna cotta should release easily. Garnish with raspberries if desired.
Buon Appetito!

I loooove pannacotta, and just as for you this is one of my favourite desserts next to tiramisu.
You really made me think it's month I do not make a pannacotta, time to make one!2
I never met a panna cotta I didn't love, and this certainly hits the mark.3
never had any luck with pannacotta. your recipe makes me want to try again!4
Call me crazy, but I can feel the anxiety you had when unmolding these little cuties. I think it's because I do the same thing too–hold my breath and wait full of anxiety for the sound of the perfect flop out of the ramekin!
I love amaretto–I have to have some!5
Heaven on a plate.6
Your photos are making me hungry! Elegant dessert and so easy, thanks!7
Never made this before, but if it's at the top of your favorites list, then make it I MUST!8
I look forward to each new panna cotta creation from you! This one sounds DIVINE. I think we're going to need to have this for dessert in the Fuji household this week… Or maybe I'll accidentally forget to tell everyone I made it and just keep it to myself. Yep, I like that plan the best.9
Chocolate and amaretto?! Yes please!10
I Love panna cotta and have just made a berry one this weekend, I think i will have to try this one next11
Looks so good!12
Love panna cotta but I too feel anxiety when unmolding. These are perfect!13
This sounds so yummy. I've never tried panna cotta before!14
ooh boozy panna cotta. Love custards and made citrucy ones last year. Love this chocolate amaretto version.15
Drooling from afar… I want.16
I have been known to sip amaretto and consume chocolate chips. This combines the two in a far more elegant way. 🙂17
You had me at Chocolate. Then you really had me at Amaretto! 🙂 I love panna cotta. This is a must make. Thank you for sharing!18
Oh my heavens, I'm speechless and you know that's saying a lot. My screen is fogging up.19
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang that looks good! Love this recipe Paula!!20
you had me at "panna cotta"…amazing. chocolate?? and amaretto?? wow.21
hey cookettes, I use 1/2 cup sugar and whole milk rather than cream (less calories-still fabulous flavor)I never worry about using a cooking spray (just poison anyway)I set it in a fancy one serving martini glass and garnish. Everyone seem to lick them clean. I have made many diff flavors with liqueurs and once used a little instant coffee with tia marie for a coffee flavor.22
This looks delightful!

Joel Osteen is an author, televangelist, and the senior pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. His ministry reaches over seven million broadcast media viewers weekly in over 100 nations around the world.
After 17 years producing the church's television program, Joel Osteen succeeded his father on October 3, 1999, as pastor of Lakewood Church. He had only preached once in his life, the week before his father's death. Today, Lakewood Church services, led by Pastor Joel Osteen, are seen in over 100 nations around the world. Joel Osteen's first book, Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential, was released in October 2004. In December 2006, he was named one of the year's "Ten Most Fascinating People" by Barbara Walters. Former presidential candidate John McCain has described Osteen as "inspirational".
Currently, Joel Osteen and several Lakewood Church personnel travel across the nation, presenting programs in large arenas. The event, titled "A Night of Hope", includes worship music led by the church's music ministry, a sermon from Osteen and a testimony by his mother, Dodie. In 2007, the tour expanded to include stops in several other countries, including Canada, England, Northern Ireland and Israel. Osteen released his second book, titled Become a Better You: 7 Keys to Improving Your Life Every Day in October 2007, which also topped the New York Times Best Sellers List with a first printing of four million copies. Osteen told Larry King the new book will focus more on relationships and not getting stuck where we are in life. "Just my basic message of becoming all God's created you to be," he added.
Joel Osteen's popularity led to him being featured as one of ABC News' "10 Most Fascinating People of 2006", and was named "Most Influential Christian in America" in 2006 by The Church Report.
On the December 23, 2007, edition of Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace brought up Joel Osteen's lack of Scripture reference in his sermons, as well as his hesitancy to discuss sin as an integral part of life. Osteen responded: "And I am ultimately trying to do that, but I'm trying to teach people how to live their everyday lives, and so I do focus on it, probably not as much as some people would like." Osteen says that he chooses to focus on the goodness of God rather than sin. Osteen explains that he tries to teach Biblical principles in a simple way, emphasizing the power of love and a positive attitude. In an appearance on Piers Morgan Tonight in January 2011, Osteen mentioned he had never attended seminary.
Joel Osteen's sermons and writings are often criticized for promoting prosperity theology, or the prosperity gospel, a belief that wealth and power are rewards for pious Christians.

Import Restrictions Trigger Smuggled Gold Rush
As India has ratcheted up restrictions on gold imports to rein in its chronic trade deficit, plane loads of Indian laborers returning from the Middle East have been landing in India's far-flung airports with their pockets packed with millions of dollars in gold.
Many of these precious-metal mules are not breaking the law, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. Some are taking advantage of a legal loophole that allows overseas workers to bring home around two pounds of gold each.
More In Gold
In December, for example, Indians returning home declared a total of more than 4,000 pounds of gold at Kerala's Calicut airport alone—most of it in iPhone sized one-kilogram gold bars–valued at roughly $80 million. That is up from 518 pounds in November and 70 pounds in October. Customs officials said they have never seen such a gold rush.
But the legitimate, declared gold that is being brought in by gold couriers could be just the tip of the iceberg customs officials said. Illegal gold smuggling is also on the rise.
India arrested 206 people in the first half of this fiscal year for smuggling gold, compared with 38 people a year earlier. The value of gold seized from smugglers between April and October was $33.6 million, almost double the $17.3 million seized in the full financial year to March 31, 2013, according to India's finance ministry. Officials admit that it is unlikely that they are catching most of the smugglers.
People have been trying to smuggle gold by swallowing it or even molding the gold to look like batteries or electronic parts of other products.
This chart shows the recent surge in smuggling. Gold market traders said the numbers will keep climbing as long as India continues to try to curb imports through the regular routes.

The myths surrounding Bruce Ismay, Chairman and Managing Director of the White Star Line, almost all centre on allegations of his cowardice. He was vilified for escaping the sinking ship, while fellow passengers drowned.
However it seems that Ismay helped with loading and lowering several lifeboats and according to his testimony, only entered a half-filled lifeboat when that boat was actually being lowered and no other passengers were in the vicinity. His reputation was further besmirched by claims that he had ordered Captain Smith to make a record crossing. His real fault was that he survived.
Ismay was exonerated by the British Inquiry for his actions but he never really recovered from the stigma of Titanic.

Miley Debuts Emotional 'Heartbreak' Track
By JACKIE WILLIS
April 04, 2013
Amid rumors that Miley Cyrus is on-again, off-again with her fiance Liam Hemsworth, the 20-year-old singer released a rather emotional song with rap icon Snoop Lion, formerly known as Snoop Dogg, and Major Lazer titled Ashtrays and Heartbreak. The catchy tune does have some telling lyrics.
"Can't let them see me weak I need to pause on it, Is there any possibility that everyone feels like me?" Cyrus sings. "I lost some, since then, So put 'em high, and tell 'em this, You can't aim, but you never miss. So raise a glass to the memories and set 'em free, I'm gonna fill up all those ashtrays, fill up all those ashtrays."
The former Disney star is quite proud of how the song turned out, tweeting on Wednesday: "Dancing to Ashtrays & Heartbreaks in my carrrrr! Play that s*** loud!"
What do you think of the track? Play music critic in the comments.

Orochimaru has manipulated a lot of smart people, and doing this has even made his own village. Even in his death everything is still going according to his plan, he knew he would be revived, Madara didn't expect edo tensei (even though he knows enough to know how to break it)
Madara has manipulated Obito, and Tsuki No Me is probably bs, genius lie if it is, Madara is the true one behind all of Obito's actions, the reason why Minato and Kushina are dead, why the uchiha clan is dead, gave nagato his rinnegan, etc.
Who's the better manipulator here?

Spy plane row stokes Chinese passions
By Rupert Wingfield-Hayes in Beijing
The continuing stand-off between Washington and Beijing over the US spy plane is pumping up the anti-American rhetoric in China by the hour.
The temperature of the dispute is rising and nationalistic passions are being stoked.
At news stands, almost every paper now has a picture of the US plane splashed across its front page, and the headlines are uniformly anti-American.
Here are a few examples:
Wang Wei is the Chinese pilot, still missing somewhere in the South China Sea.
To the outside world, China appears to be making a mountain out of a mole-hill. The spy plane collision was, after all, pretty clearly an accident. Why blow it up into an increasingly dangerous diplomatic row?
'Ham-fisted response'
Susan Lawrence is the Beijing correspondent for the Far Eastern Economic Review.
She says Chinese anger has been stoked by the ham-fisted way President George W Bush and the new US administration has dealt with this crisis.
"I think that China has got really very irritated with the US for making the demands that it has made. They're very irritated that the US was so impatient to get access to the crew," she said.
"I think that offended sensibilities in China, because the Chinese pilot has been lost. China keeps saying that the US crew is safe. Our pilot's gone, show a little bit more compassion, please."
President Clinton called China a strategic partner. Now Beijing faces a US president who looks upon China as a rival, and some would say even an enemy.
Gau Hung, senior policy advisor to the Chinese Government, said: "After coming to power, Bush has been quite strident about changing US-China policy. He doesn't give the appearance of wanting a constructive partnership with China like President Clinton."
Arms sales
In his view, Washington is trying to step up pressure on Beijing.
"The Bush administration is stressing its relationship with Taiwan, including new arms sales to the island. America has military alliances with nearly all China's neighbours - Japan, South Korea, Thailand and the Philippines."
In China, that does not mean the general public. Instead, it means the powerful factions within the Communist Party who wield real power from behind the scenes.
And the one group President Jiang cannot afford to alienate right now is China's military, according to Susan Lawrence.
"China's got a very major party congress coming up at the end of next year. Jiang Zemin is due to step down from his party posts and his state posts at that congress. We understand that he wants to hold onto one very key post, which is his chairmanship of the central military commission," she said.
"If he wants to do that, he can't been seen to be betraying the interests of the military ... the military have lost a pilot here. He's got to be seen to be standing up for the military's interests and not being soft towards the US on this."
Foreign humiliation
Every Chinese person is taught from a young age about China's humiliations at the hands of foreign powers.
Britain in the opium war, Japan in the Second World War.
Now, America is the dominant power in the world and China is determined to show it will not be pushed around again.
But ultimately it is not in China's interests to allow this dispute to develop into a major rupture with the US.
China has far too much to lose, from its huge trading relationship with America to its dispute over Taiwan and its hopes of hosting the 2008 Olympic Games.
Sometime soon, both sides are going to have to start looking for a way out.

Gavin Rossdale
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"This man is very special."
"Bloody good bloke."
Gavin Rossdale (born 30 October 1965) was a pioneer in the field of muffin making. He invented the infamous "Short-bread" and also produced his own brand of bread, named Steve.
edit The Start
Gavn grew up in and around Shepherds Bush in London and developed a keen interest in anything granary or grain related. At the age of three, after an undisclosed event involving a badger, he acquired his little sister's easy bake oven. He was only a wee nipper when his uncle John bought him his first guitar, which he promplty used as a paddle for pulling his precious, lightbulb warm muffins from the oven. His great aunty Mira also grew to fame in her day as the Pillsbury Dough Boy, and it was this that inspired his love of baking. As well as muffins, young Gavin also dabbled in making cookies, but the cookie monster filed a lawsuit against him for violation of code 249 and forced their family out of their home to pay for the court proceedings. Wibble.
edit Adolescence
Gavin had it rough as a teenager, being called names such as "bake-boy", "cookie-breath" and "cunt". Bravely, these were shaken off with only minor (deep) psychological damage, the only repercussion being his inability to notice trees. Still, he soldiered on, only to have another blow to his early career. He blew the last spare bulb for his easy bake oven and, since his particular model has been discontinued, decided to buy the grown up version...a GRT7000, the most powerful oven money can buy. With this, he started the well known company Mr Kipling and made many thoudands of cakes, buns and biscuits. Sadly though, this was not for him, he missed the thrill of muffins and the excitement of waiting for a light bulb to cook dough. So he sold the company to an aptly named Mr Kipling and decided it was time for a change.
edit Olderness
Broke, lonely and jobless, he ventured out into the streets to pursue a career in stealing babies and fine, bagged crockery. He spent many years as this person, occasionally turning his attention to a young lass named Gwen Stefani. In fact he turned a lot of attention to her and eventually married her. Realising what Gavin had become, Gwen kindly showed great enthusiasm in Gavin's cooking and bought him the new easy bake oven with TWO bulbs. Gavin was shocked to say the least and as a token of his appreciation, gave a gift to Gwen of a freshly baked croissant, which she lovingly wore on her head when posing for the annual RSPCA kitten huffing event. (Pictured)
edit Side Projects
Gavin was the singer of a band named Bush, after his vagitarian ways. They performed a number of gigs but due to Gavin's lack of legs had to stop touring. Their most famous song is Glycogen, a story about a giant sandwich. They promptly split up and Gavin then formed another group, Institute, a nod to the rock god Frank Zappa. They never were as big as Bush but they toil on, trying to pretend they are younger than 40. Tsk.
edit What Now?
Who knows? Maybe his side projects Bush or Institute will yield some income. But for now, Gavin likes long walks in the park, a nice sunset, and stroking kittens.

If this was real what would you do? If there were really aliens that saw us as dumb expendable animals would you just sit back and take their abuse. Would it make any difference if "they" were a small group of people known as the illuminati?
The movie "They Live" made in the 1980's predicted everything that has happened and will probably come to pass in terms of citizen surveillance and pyschological warfare in America. Watch the whole movie -if anything it's entertaining. They continuosly take the above clip down from youtube more than most -wonder why...
The same thing that happened to Nazi Germany when the citizenry embraced Nazism is happening to us. The populace was dumbed down and manipuated by the illuminati and their bought out politicians and media into being a prideful yet mindless war machine. When the illuminati were done with Germany they were left a defeated, bankrupt and villified nation. No one gives a crap today when the German people say they were lead astray by their bought out politicians. The world is simply glad that in the end they got what they deserved.
America is heading down the same path. We used to be the beacon of freedom to the world but now our country has become a modern day Nazi Germany war machine starting unprovoked wars across the globe. Many people now spit at us when we visit their countries like we are villains.
If and when we are weakened internally/financially to the point that we leave ourselves open to military attack by countries like Russia and China people will cheer our demise. We have become the bad guys because we presently ALLOW a psychopathic offshore banking cartel to run our country through bought off politicians.
That Three Stooges clip sums up the illuminatis mindset very well -our last few Presidents have acted just like dictators.
Occupy Wall Street was started by the illuminati to weaken America and take the focus off them when the global economic collapse occurs. It then got out of control because people started focusing in on the private Federal Reserve. Now the illuminati is trying to clamp down on this movement because we are focusing on them and they are extremely nervous.
Wallstreet and the banks are a symptom of a greater problem. There is nothing wrong with capitalism or corporations however what we now have is crony capitalism, not true capitalism. We must swarm Washington DC and the 12 Federal Reserve Bank locations in the U.S. with massive demonstrations if we are going to take our country back. Any Occupy Wallstreet movement outside of Washington DC or the 12 Federal Reserve Bank locations is a distraction designed to keep the movement fractionalized. We must occupy the main problem, not the symptoms.
Never take freedom for granted. If you love America defend it today by getting informed and taking this country back for Americans. We WILL prevail because clearly Americans aren't going to put up with this shit any longer. The time is now.
This one show explains everything going on. It will change your life when you see how the mainstream media is manipulating us like cattle using the political Left Vs Right paradigm. Download the podcasts and listen.
The U.S. is in trouble if we don't find a way to stop this current tyranny. This is our reality:
You have to understand that free speech on the net is about to be clamped down on in America -mainland China style. Get the sunglasses and spread the word before it's too late. Learn to spot/ignore government paid trolls and their one liner insults/disinformation.

Michael was my attorney in a crazy contract case. He made a lot of things happen and helped me win my case. He had the case closed once he started it. His presentation and his trustworthy is professional. I will inform him to anyone. We settled my case for a large amount of sum. Thanks to Michael!
Posted by anonymous
I used Mike for a tenant dispute. My roomate up and left without paying her share of the rent. From day 1 my issue was keeping costs low and using Mike was great for this experience. He charged a low upfront fee and said everything would be taken care of under this unless we went to trial. He was able to negotiate a settlement for minimal cost without charging any more fee's to me (keeping his initial word). He always kept me informed throughout the process which took roughly a year to get resolved (due to landlords lawyers). I highly recommend Mike as he is a lawyer who keeps his word.
Posted by Margaret V. NYC
Michael was extremely professional and explained the process of a will, living will and power of attorney is an easily understandable way. He was very reassuring throughout what can be a sensitive experience. Mr. O'Brien always responded to phone calls and emails in a timely fashion. I would recommend Michael O'Brien to friends and colleagues.
Posted by Kristen
My husband and I have hired Michael O'Brien for both real estate transactions and for estate planning and have been extremely pleased with our experience. Michael first helped us with the sale of our NYC cooperative apartment in 2009 and the subsequent purchase of a home in Westchester. He was extremely thorough and responsive, handling the many intricacies of new york real estate with ease. Michael kept us informed at all stages and as such, our sale and purchase went very smoothly.
We next hired Michael in 2011 to handle our estate planning. As this was our first time drafting any estate documentation, we were unfamiliar with the process. Michael walked us through each step, explaining everything thoroughly so that when we finally signed the documentation, we were very comfortable that all eventualities had been considered and covered.
We have been very pleased with all of our experiences with Michael and would not hesitate to hire him again or recommend him to someone else. He is extremely knowledgable, thorough, responsive and very easy to work with. We can not recommend him highly enough.

"My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." (1 John 2:1)
Johanna was not happy. She and her sister Donna had gotten in an argument, and Dad had walked into the living room to find them standing on either end of the couch, yelling at one another. Both Johanna and Donna had been sent to their rooms to think about what they had been fighting over, and why they thought it was "so worth fighting for."
But Johanna already knew it wasn't worth the kind of meanness she had let loose on Donna. It had just started out as a tiny disagreement – about whose doll would get to wear a favorite outfit for that day. But this was not the first time Donna's attitude had gotten on Johanna's nerves, so Johanna had decided to tell Donna what she really thought of her – and her doll. She never intended to end up on one side of the couch, throwing pillows at Donna and yelling mean things at her. But that's what had happened.
She already regretted it, even before Dad finally came in to punish her. If only it could be easier to remember that she loved Donna – right during that very moment when Donna was getting on her nerves! But those annoying moments seemed like the hardest times to remember love. Johanna could only think about herself when she started to get angry like that.
She picked up her Bible and looked at the verse she had just studied that morning. "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not." Well, I already blew that today, thought Johanna.
But she kept on reading. "And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." Wow! she thought, shaking her head. She had looked "advocate" up in the dictionary just that morning, and she had learned that an advocate is someone who stands up in court to explain someone's case and defend that person. An advocate is a spokesperson, someone who speaks in behalf of someone else. It is someone who is strong and guiltless who represents someone who is weak and guilty.
Johanna thought about that idea long and hard. It was amazing to think that Someone strong and perfect like Jesus was representing someone weak and sinful like her. Now she understood why the first part of the verse came before the second part. The thought of Jesus "fighting for" her was something to be thankful for – and something worth fighting for! Slowly it dawned on Johanna: Because of what Jesus Christ had done and was still doing for her, she needed to fight against sin. Her real battles should not be with Donna or anyone else, but with her own sinful nature. Johanna knew that to please her Advocate, she needed to fight harder against the temptation to sin in the first place.
Jesus Christ stands before God as our righteous Defender.
My Response: » Am I constantly sinning and just relying on Jesus' righteousness to cover for me? » Do I think my own selfish desires are worth fighting for? » Am I willing to focus my time and energy on fighting against my own sin?
"No reserves. No retreats. No regrets."
In 1904, William Borden graduated from high school – the whole world at his fingertips. Born as the heir to a massive family fortune, Borden was a millionaire by the time he was sixteen years old. As a graduation present, his parents gave him a trip around the world.
As he traveled to places such as Asia and Europe, he felt a terrible burden in his heart for the people he saw. Millions around the world were dying without the Savior.
God convicted his heart during this trip, and he wrote his parents a letter that said, "I'm going to give my life to prepare for the mission field." About this same time he also wrote in his Bible these two words – "No reserves." He planned to hold nothing back.
Borden came home to the United States and attended college at Yale University. While there, he started a small prayer group that grew into a group of 1,000 students before he finished at Yale. He was known for making an effort to reach out to some of the hardest and meanest students in the school. He wanted to see Jesus Christ save them.
The plan that began to formulate in Borden's mind was to go to China as a missionary worker. People told him he was foolish to throw away his life as a millionaire, but he believed better. Following his college graduation, he turned down high-paying job opportunities and wrote two more words in his Bible – "No retreats." He would not hide from God's drawing and calling on his life.
On December 17, 1912, Borden finally left for the next step in his missionary preparation: Language study in Egypt. Soon after his arrival in Egypt, however, he contracted spinal meningitis and became deathly ill. Within one month, he was dead. His friends and acquaintances back home and around the world lamented the tragedy and declared it such a "waste" of life.
But William Borden, who had once said, "Say 'no' to self and 'yes' to Jesus every time" would not have agreed with the popular opinion about his tragic death. When his family members recovered his Bible, they found two more words added to the first four. At the time of his death, it read: "No reserves. No retreats. No regrets."
If you were to die today, would you have regrets about the way you spent your time and other resources? What does God consider a "waste"? Are you living your life with a long, eternal view of what is most valuable, or are you listening too much to what the world says about what's most important?
Philippians 1:21 – For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Reproached and Despised
Psalm 22:6 – "But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people."
Yes. One example in Scripture is when the Ten Commandments were written by the finger of God (see Exodus 31:18).
Hell is a real place God created for those who never accept His gift of salvation. It is a place where unbelievers will be separated from God and tormented forever. Jesus calls it an "unquenchable fire" and says three times in the book of Mark (9:44, 46, 48) that hell is a place "where the worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched" (NKJV). The word "hell" is found in the Bible fifty-three (53) times. Revelation 20:10 – "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone [hell], where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

Senior bio major captures prestigious award
Each year, the American Society of Microbiology awards the Raymond W. Sarber Award to a student who demonstrates potential and excellence in research. This year, senior biology major Kara Hardwick was the only undergraduate student in the nation to receive the award.
In order to be considered for the award, Hardwick had to be nominated by a member of the American Society of Microbiology. Her nomination came from Dr. Victoria Frost with two support nominations from Dr. Matthew Heard and Dr. Heather Evans-Anderson.
After receiving the nomination, Hardwick had to fill out an application and write a personal statement about the research she has done. From there, the ASM looked over all of the nominations from across the country and selected the winners.
Hardwick will take a trip to Boston in May 2014 for the annual American Society of Microbiology meeting to be honored for winning the award. Winning the award comes with a $2,000 prize, which she was excited about.
Hardwick has spent the past year conducting research with Dr. Heard to find whether or not there is a correlation between the presence of introduced species and disease outbreaks in human and animal populations.
"Dr. Heard asked if I would like to work in his lab, and we ended up creating this project because I really care about disease outbreaks and I think disease is really interesting," Hardwick said.
Hardwick was in Heard's ecology class so they tied the subject of disease with introduced species in order to bring an ecological aspect to the research.
Heard said the Raymond W. Sarber Award is "intended to identify individuals who have the potential to be top-level research scientists," which is a potential that he firmly believes Hardwick demonstrates.
Aside from her research with Heard, Hardwick wrote about being a teaching assistant to Dr. Frost's microbiology classes in her application for the award. When Frost taught Hardwick, she immediately noticed her drive, which lead her to ask Hardwick to become her teaching assistant.
"I realized Kara's potential very quickly and didn't hesitate in asking her to be my future laboratory assistant in Micro 310," Frost said. "Kara has since become an indispensable member of my team, invaluable for the smooth running of the microbiology course."
Both her work as a teaching assistant and her research lead Frost to nominate Hardwick for the award.
"She has proved to be a responsible and genuinely appreciated colleague in both the laboratory and research areas of the Biology department," Frost said. "It was for these reasons and more that I did not hesitate to recommend Kara for the American Society of Microbiology Raymond W. Sarber Award."
Heard shared Frost's sentiments and was equally impressed with her work ethic, which lead him to believe that she was worthy of the national award.
"I have been continually impressed by her ability to balance classes, be a teaching assistant for microbiology courses here at Winthrop and work on her own independent research project," Heard said. "I can think of no one who is more deserving of this award than her."
Hardwick completed her first research project during the summer after her freshman year. The research she conducted then was more on the molecular side of biology, but after branching out into her ecology class Hardwick realized the many possibilities ecology offered that she wanted to capitalize on.
Hardwick plans to continue doing research during her senior year and to maintain the best GPA she can. After receiving a degree from Winthrop, she hopes to continue her education in graduate school and has already begun searching for programs.
"I'm hoping to either get my Ph.D. in microbiology or infectious diseases," Hardwick said. "So I'm kind of picking programs that are one or the other to apply to."
Hardwick said that being the only undergraduate student to win the Raymond W. Sarber Award this year was an exciting and nerve-wracking experience and an honor that she never expected.
"I had no idea that it was even possible that I could get an award like this," Hardwick said. "I didn't really think that I had much of a chance. I guess taking away, I need to have more confidence in the work that I'm actually doing."
Hardwick believes that the lesson she learned through receiving the award can and should extend to other students at Winthrop as well.
"I definitely feel like everybody should kind of believe in themselves," Hardwick said. "We're all here at Winthrop, we're all learning these amazing things, and other places, other schools and other organizations think that what we're doing is really impressive and we should definitely harness that."

Sequence Stratigraphic Methods
Jerry F. Lucia
The advent of sequence stratigraphic methods to construct chronostratigraphic reservoir models has provided the platform necessary to accurately distribute petrophysical properties in 3D using the rock-fabric method. Rock-fabric descriptions offer a fundamental basis for relating geologic descriptions to petrophysical properties because rock-fabric facies tend to be systematically distributed within geologic frameworks. Indeed, the vertical succession of rock fabrics, which is basic to sequence stratigraphy, is one observation used to determine changes in accommodation. The three basic rock fabrics are grainstone, grain-dominated packstone, and mud-dominated fabrics, which include mud-dominated packstone, wackestone, and mudstone. These basic fabrics vary at the high-frequency cycle scale, which is the basic stratigraphic scale for model construction.
The size of interparticle pore space is described by the amount of interparticle porosity and the basic rock fabrics. The volume of separate vugs, such as grain molds and intragrain pore space, is an additional descriptor. Grain type is very useful for determining changes in accommodation but does not impact interparticle pore size. However, the volume of separate vugs may be related to grain type. Dolomitization modifies the pore size principally in the mud-dominated fabrics because the dolomite crystals may be larger than the precursor lime-mud particles.
Geologic core descriptions usually need to be modified for petrophysical quantification because facies descriptions are often too detailed and textural descriptions too generalized. The rock fabrics are calibrated to wireline logs, distributed within the sequence stratigraphic framework, converted to permeability and initial water saturation using appropriate transforms, and distributed using geostatistical methods.

MILL RIVER -- Seasonal workers in rural P.E.I. are going to be able to draw more weeks of Employment Insurance benefits, and possibly with greater weekly earnings because of an EI administrative change.
Fisheries and Oceans Minister Gail Shea, who is the regional minister for P.E.I. and the MP for Egmont, announced the change Thursday in front of close to 80 constituents at the Rodd Mill River Resort.
The change will split P.E.I. into two regions, one region for Charlottetown and surrounding area and another for the rest of P.E.I.
Shea explained that the capital regions in all provinces except P.E.I. Were already classified as urban economic regions.
The change, she said, will mean the unemployment statistics for the capital region and the rest of P.E.I. will be determined separately.
Using November 2012 Stats Can figures as an example, Shea said the unemployment rate for P.E.I. was determined to be 11.5 per cent. By treating all of P.E.I. as one region, the EI system did not take into consideration that the unemployment rate for rural P.E.I was actually 14.9 per cent.
If it had, a rural islander with 520 insurable hours of employment would have been entitled to 29 weeks of benefits instead of the 23 weeks he was entitled to because of the provincial unemployment rate of 11.5 per cent. The divisor would have been different, too, she said.
"This will result in higher benefits," she said, summoning a round of applause from the invited guests.
"Today's announcement brings more fairness to our EI program for rural P.E.I.," said Shea who indicated her staff has been working on bringing about the change for about a year.
"I took those concerns to Ottawa and we have taken action: Islanders will no longer be treated differently than Canadians in every other province in this country," she said.
Shea's announcement won support from Hal Perry. He is the District 27 MLA who crossed from the Progressive Conservative caucus to the Liberals last year because he said he couldn't effect change on EI issues within a provincial party aligned with the federal Conservative government.
"I think it's a good announcement; it's a start," he said. "It's good for rural P.E.I. and it's a definite start and I'm glad the minister listened and took my advice and took these concerns back to Ottawa and made those changes."
PC party leader Steven Myers also agreed the announcement is good for rural P.E.I.
"For us, we've been saying for a long time it's harder on rural Islanders, the changes, and we chose to stay and work with the federal government and try to bring positive change back to P.E.I. instead of running away from it like others did," he commented. He suggested the new statistics that will be available from having two economic regions will force the provincial government to take action on job creation.
Anne Arsenault, manager of Tignish Initiatives, suggested the change will provide equality to all Islanders. "This is great news to all people working in seasonal industries, the backbone of our Island economy."
President of Alberton Fisheries, Doug Fraser, called the change a "beginning." He said it recognizes the opportunity to gain employment in rural P.EI. is less than in Charlottetown.
Lee Knox, president of the Prince County Fishermen's Association, said it will bring "big time" help to western P.E.I. where many seasonal workers have been forced to leave the Island because of a benefits shortfall. "They're not going to be bursting with money, but, at least they will have something to keep them going until the season starts again. Before, they had nothing."
The change Shea announced Thursday takes affect October 12, 2014.

Sanchez shines as Generals sweep doubleheader from Suns
By Tony Abati / Jackson Generals | June 13, 2014 11:37 PM ET
JACKSON, TENN. (JUNE 13, 2014) - The Generals (31-36) received two superb starts and timely hitting to pull off the double-header sweep of the Jacksonville Suns (34-34) Friday at the Ballpark in Jackson. Jackson won game one 4-3 behind a fourth inning home run from Jack Marder (1x6, R, 2 RBI, HR) and back-to-back homers from Ji-Man Choi (1x5, 2 R, 3 RBI, HR, BB) and Patrick Kivlehan's (3x6, 2 R, 2 RBI, 2B, HR) for a 6-0 win in game two. Victor Sanchez (3-2, 4.06) logged the first complete game shutout in two years for Jackson in the nightcap.
The Generals have taken the first three games from Suns and have won three straight series. Jackson is now a league-best 9-3 during the month of June.
Matt Anderson (2-2, 5.71) began a little shaky on the mound in game one. He gave up one run in the first when Brent Keys scored on a double by Brady Shoemaker. The Jacksonville lead increased an inning later when they strung together four consecutive singles. Alex Burg and Danny Black had the first two base hits and came around to score on singles from Keys and Austin Nola respectively and the lead was 3-0 after two innings.
The Generals bats warmed up in the fourth. Choi walked with one out and scored on Kivlehan's seventh double of the season. After a John Hicks (1x2, BB) single Dario Pizzano (0x3, R, RBI) grounded to first base. Former General Rich Poythress made a great play and threw to second to begin a double play, but Pizzano beat out the back end and Kivlehan scored the second General run. Marder followed with a two-run homer to give Jackson a 4-3 lead.
Anderson got into trouble again in the sixth and gave way to Stephen Kohlscheen (1-1, 2.25) with one out and a runner on third. The Southern League All-Star struck out Alex Burg and Danny Black to end the inning without the tying run scoring, and then pitched a scoreless seventh to earn his sixth save of the year while Anderson picked up his second win.
Chipper Smith (2-2, 2.62) gave up four runs on six hits in 5.0 innings and drew the loss for the Suns.
Victor Sanchez (3-2, 4.06) had his best outing of the season in game two as he pitched a complete game two-hit shutout en route to his third win of 2014. The complete game shutout was the first by a Jackson pitcher since Anthony Fernandez tossed a nine inning one on June 28, 2012 at Pensacola. Sanchez was in a pitcher's duel early with Jacksonville spot starter Matt Montgomery (1-1, 4.20) until the Generals bats came alive.
In the third inning Jackson plated their first two runs as Kevin Rivers (2x3, R, 3B) tripled and scored on a single from Ketel Marte (3x6, 2 R, RBI). Marte then scored when Dan Paolini (0x4, RBI, BB) reached on a fielder's choice and the lead was 2-0 after three.
The Generals bats then exploded in the fifth. Choi came up with two out and two on and hammered his first Jackson home run since last season over the right-center field wall. The three-run shot gave the Generals a commanding 5-0 lead. One batter later Kivlehan came up and hit an off balance homer to left field to increase the lead to 6-0.
Montgomery took the loss and he allowed two runs on four hits in 3.0 innings of work.
The Generals and Suns will meet in game four of this five-game set Saturday. Stephen Landazuri (3-1, 1.96) will make his return from the disabled list and make the start for Jackson and the Marlins number four overall prospect Justin Nicolino (5-2, 3.29) will oppose him for Jacksonville. The game will be at 6:05 p.m. and can be heard on 96.5 ESPN, TuneIn Radio and jacksongeneralsbaseball.com.

Danell Leyva Makes Major Comeback To Clinch Bronze [PHOTOS]
Danell Levya was in 19th place after two less-than-stellar routines, but managed to make up for it in his last two events, the parallel bar and horizontal bar, and performed impressively enough to actually clinch bronze for Men's All-Around gymnastics.
The gold ended up going to Kohei Uchimora of Japan, and the silver to Marcel Ngyuen of Germany, but Levya is proud of his performance. Levya boasted, "I did always love to prove everyone wrong. I'm always trying to prove people wrong and trying to be the best."
Kinda arrogant there, aren't you, Danell? Well, I guess he put his money where his mouth is, so I guess Levya's getting the last laugh. Congrats, Danelll!

IOWA CITY — With thousands of tickets remaining for each of its seven home games during the 2014 season, Iowa director of athletics Gary Barta is searching for solutions.
"The sky is not falling, but we do have tickets to sell for every game,'' Barta said Friday. "Four years ago, we had sold out every game by July and that's a great position to be in. We are not in the position often, but it was the case then.''
That is not the case now — Iowa had just over 10,000 seats left for a Sept. 6 game against Ball State and 2,128 remaining for a game a week later against Iowa State — and Barta and his staff are attempting to dissect why Hawkeye season ticket sales have stagnated.
He said sales to the general public and to faculty-staff remain essentially flat compared to a year ago, but Barta said he is concerned about slow single-game ticket sales this month and a continuing drop in the number of season tickets sold to students.
Iowa traditionally reserved 10,000 seats for students, but saw that number drop to 7,300 a year ago and currently has sold fewer than 7,000 season tickets to students for the upcoming season.
The drop of more than 30 percent mirrors a trend of tumbling season ticket sales to students nationally, but Barta said his concern centers around what is taking place at Iowa.
As a result, any unsold student tickets for 2014 will be placed on sale to the general public next Friday.
"I just can't sit here like we did last year, hoping that the students will buy them and then find ourselves with more empty seats,'' Barta said.
Ironically, Barta said the athletics department could make more money if those tickets are sold to the public. Student season tickets are priced at $25 per game compared to the $55-70 Iowa charges for single-game tickets.
"I would always prefer to have those 10,000 seats filled with students, and we're not at all giving up on that this year, but we will move more quickly to fill those seats than we have in the past if they are not sold soon,'' Barta said.
Although Iowa finished 8-5 a year ago and is expected to challenge for a division title in the Big Ten this fall, Barta believes the combination of a 4-8 season in 2012 and a decision to re-seat Kinnick Stadium which displaced some season ticket holders who chose not to renew have impacted the overall total.
"If you tie the two together, it probably is a factor with where we sit today,'' Barta said. "When you lose momentum, it's harder to get it back. It's a lot easier to lose momentum than to gain it back.''
But beyond short-term solutions including some promotional offers that will be announced soon, Barta said his staff seeks long-term answers.
Students who purchased season tickets a year ago but did not renew them are being surveyed in an attempt to learn why.
Barta said the department also continues to work to evaluate and make changes to the game-day experience at Kinnick Stadium, saying that a new sound system installed in recent weeks should make a difference for some fans.
"With the old system, if we would turn it up one level, we would receive complaints from some fans it was too loud, while others would continue to have difficulty in hearing it,'' Barta said, adding that changes made in parking lots including prohibiting tents in a lot adjacent to the stadium and creating space for tents in another nearby lot are moves made at the request of fans.
Iowa even utilizes "secret shoppers,'' providing individuals with everything from parking passes to game tickets and then eliciting thorough and direct feedback about their game-day experience at Kinnick Stadium.
"About the only thing you can get 70,000 people to agree on is that they want Iowa to win and even then, for some they may have wanted to see Iowa win by a larger margin,'' Barta said. "We do listen to what our fans have to say and we make changes based on what we hear from them.''
Including tickets sold to the public, faculty/staff and students, Iowa sold just over 52,000 season tickets a year ago.
At seven home games in 2013, Iowa averaged 67,127 fans, its lowest average at 70,595-seat Kinnick Stadium since averaging 65,798 fans in 2003.
Despite the drop in ticket sales a year ago, Iowa was one of four NCAA Division I programs to rank in the top-25 nationally in attendance in football, men's basketball and women's basketball.


text: How Private Investigator Ana Carolina Lanuza Found Her Path to Success at AIU Posted September 18, 2013 by in Business Degrees Tags: Business Degrees, AIU When it comes to finding things, Private Investigator Ana Carolina Lanuza is a consummate pro. Within just a few short years, she discovered her path to an education, opportunity and recognition as winner of AIU's 2013 Distinguished Alumni Award. Along the way, Ana has also donated her time to finding and rescuing nearly 30 runaway kids and has been named president of the Florida Association of Private Investigators. It's hard to believe that this accomplished businesswoman, association president and award-winning MBA grad once struggled with A.D.D. and hated reading. Ana earned her Associate of Business Administration in 2007, her Bachelor's in Criminal Justice in 2008 and her MBA in 2009, all at AIU. So how did she get it all done? We interviewed Ana to find out her secret to getting ahead. What were your programs of study? Well, for my associates it was Business Administration with a concentration in Criminal Justice. For my bachelor's, I studied Criminal Justice with a concentration in Forensic Science. I earned my Master of Business Administration with a specialization in International Business. What were you doing before you attended AIU? What motivated you to go back to school? Before starting at AIU, I was working full time for a law firm and also working as a private investigator intern. I was motivated to go back to school because my dream was to work for the FBI, and you need that little paper if you want to have a good career. How has your education helped you get where you are today? My education has helped me in various ways. My criminal justice degree has helped me to be a better investigator and understand the system better, although you can't just rely on education; you need street smarts also in this field. My MBA has helped me understand the elements of having a business. It is very important to have an education; you are able to show your commitment in the subject matter and that you are knowledgeable in the field. Having an education sets you apart from those that don't, and it gives you a foot in the door. You can never stop learning; you need to keep current in your field by taking classes and always staying up-to-date. I was also elected President of the Florida Association of Private Investigators, which has given me even more credibility in my field. Hear Ana's Distinguished Alumni Award Speech from Graduation: How did you decide to open up your own private investigation agency? I always had a dream to work for the FBI growing up and even met with the recruiter in Miami while I was working on my bachelor's and working as an intern as a private investigator. I was still too young, according to the recruiter, so I decided that if they didn't want me for whatever reason, I was still going to pursue investigations. So it sort of just happened. I decided to open my agency and run with it. I look back, and I've made a difference in the community. It's a great feeling. A big part of your focus is on rescuing runaway kids — can you talk a bit about that? Yes, at Leverage Investigations we dedicate 40% of our practice to rescuing missing kids, especially runaways, pro bono. We found a need to do this in Miami, Florida, my hometown and base, after my first missing persons case. I worked a case my partner found in a small newspaper that is published in Spanish called el Clarin. It struck his attention because among all the ads for local PIs was this ad for a missing teenage girl. When he told me about the case, I jumped on it with him and went to visit her family on South Beach. At the time, I was working for his PI agency. To keep the story short, we were threatened by the police department that we could only work when they worked and had to call them and get clearance. We ended up finding her after taking her brother to dinner and requesting that he produce his phone records to see if we could find a clue. When we were finishing dinner, I mentioned to my partner that her brother had saved half of his food. Later that evening she called her parents to pick her up. She had been living on the streets. We give back to the community by helping them find missing persons, especially runaways. The police departments don't search for runaways and don't have the manpower and work schedule. As PIs we can work 24/7, 365 days a year. I have worked on Christmas Day looking for a missing child. Every minute is essential, and the first 24 hours are the most critical. Together my partner and I rescued 26 missing children last year. It gives us satisfaction to be able to help families find their loved ones. I'd like to change the way missing people are searched for, especially in those first 24 hours. Did you have any obstacles to overcome in your path to completing your degree, and if so, how did you overcome them? Growing up I suffered from Attention Deficit Disorder, or A.D.D., and had problems with reading and comprehension. I was in remedial classes for reading and would have to reread things several times to understand them. I had to wake up at 5:30 a.m. to study on exam days. It was a challenge, and I hated to read because of it. Why did you decide to attend school online? I decided to attend online classes because it was a better fit for me. I could submit my assignments and attend classes at a time that was good for me. I was working full time and also doing my internship. I had attended my local community college and that just didn't work out for me. I ended up flunking out. What tips would you share for those considering going back to school or for current AIU students? I would encourage students who are considering going back or who are currently studying at AIU to focus on the assignments, to ask questions if they do not understand a project or an assignment, to make it a point to network with their professors and peers. Join an honor society, network within their field — it's all about meeting people and networking, because you never know who that person knows. Finally, make a LinkedIn profile and connect with as many people as possible in their field. What can you share about the faculty at AIU? How did your professors support you? The faculty at AIU is beyond amazing! The professors were always available for any questions, even if it was the smallest little question. They wanted to see you succeed, and that was very important to me. How does it feel to come back to AIU as a distinguished alumna? It's such an amazing feeling! The day I received the phone call I couldn't believe it! I really thought that someone else had been chosen. I never thought my story could inspire so many people. It is quite an honor to receive the Distinguished Alumni award and be able to share my story with over 1,500 people at the August 2013 graduation ceremony. I was so nervous that I had to speak to so many people, but shaking and all, I inspired people, and that's what it's all about. Thank you to everyone who supported me.

How a salute meant as 'just a joke' turns to yolk
The salute that didn't go down well.
Photo: Channel Seven
WELL hel-lo, sailor. When Kevin Rudd playfully saluted US president George Bush across a crowded room at the NATO summit, the only thing missing was a saucy wink.
It's hard to imagine John Howard ever indulging in such a flirtatious display with his high-powered conservative buddy, and as for Paul Keating, well, his penchant seemed to be for salutes of the two-fingered kind metaphorically speaking, of course.
But there it was: footage of an Australian PM paying homage to the leader of the free world with a crisp cut of the hand from his brow. Yes, sir, indeedy. Asked about the gesture later, Mr Rudd played it down "just a joke", he said.
"I was just saying hi to the President of the United States. I was with him the other day, so I went over and had a chat with him," he explained. But then came the clincher. Mr Rudd said he and Mr Bush had been "doing something similar the other day". The mind boggles.
Back at home, the condemnation was swift and savage.
Opposition Leader Brendan Nelson slammed the salute as "conduct unbecoming of an Australian prime minister".
"Mr Rudd appears to conduct himself in one manner when he thinks the television is upon him and another when it is not," he charged.
Pressed on why the gesture was unbecoming, Dr Nelson argued it had undermined the image of Australia in the world. "Well, Australia is a confident, outward-looking country after more than 10 years of strong foreign policy development, and we need a strong prime minister to represent our very best interests throughout the world."
Greens Leader Bob Brown was also unimpressed, accusing Mr Rudd of belittling Australia and being subservient. "There is a streak of John Howard's 'deputy sheriff' in Kevin Rudd's slip-up," he said. "We are not the 51st state of the United States of America and Mr Rudd's salute carried a subservient connotation many Australians won't like."
