Women, Population and Global Crisis: A Political-Economic Analysis, Asoka Bandarage '73, Zed Books, 1997. This book critiques the common wisdom on population, giving a historical overview of the population question and places the debate about population, poverty, environment, and security within a broad theoretical perspective. Looking first at the conventional ideologies of population control, the author shows how population control acts as another dimension of our essentially hierarchical world order. The book's political significance lies in its synthesis of third world, feminist, socialist and ecological thinking and solutions.
Worlds of Women: The Making of an International Women's Movement, Leila J. Rupp '72, Ph.D. '76, Princeton University Press, 1997. This is an exploration of the "first wave" of the international women's movement, from its late 19th-century origins through World War II. Rupp examines the histories and accomplisments of three major transnational women's organizations to tell the story of women's struggle to construct a feminist international collective entity.
Fields of Wheat, Hills of Blood: Passages to Nationhood 1870-1990, Anastasia Karakasidou, M.A. '83, University of Chicago Press, 1997. This book is an anthropological study that proved so volatile that Cambridge University Press withdrew it from its list and the author received death threats. An account of identity formation and nationalist ideologies in Greek Macedonia, the book argues that, contrary to official rhetoric, the current people of Greek Macedonia are members of an extremely diverse cultural lineage, formed by regional and world conflicts, economic migrations, and shifting formations. This diversity has, over the past century, been eroded and eclipsed by an overarchingly Greek national identity, calling into question the limits of nationalism and cultural heritage.
Under the Tabachín Tree: A New Home in Mexico, Celia Wakefield '31, Creative Arts Book Company, 1997. Approaching their retirement years in the early 1970s, Celia Wakefield, with her husband and dog, loaded up their VW van and headed for Colima, a semi-tropical city in Mexico. "Guidebooks gave it little attention, although we knew it was a handsome, white town at the foot of a steaming volcano. We decided to go there if only to find out why it was ignored," said the author.

Thus, you will also come across a sort forex software of strangle tactic which called prolonged strangle. Fundamentally prolonged strangle is also similar to long straddle which requires acquiring equally call and put choice of a sure forex at the same expiry date but lengthy straddle sets unique strike price tag.
The trader who retains of a long strangle will crank out a profit if the underlying currency pair trades away from present value, either above or under it.

Terrorist stabs female soldier in light rail car (JERUSALEM POST) By MELANIE LIDMAN 03/16/12)
Source: http://www.jpost.com/NationalNews/Article.aspx?id=261959
JERUSALEM POST Articles-Index-Top
Teenage attacker apprehended at Kalandiya crossing; Jerusalem on alert ahead of the city´s marathon.
A Palestinian teenager stabbed a 19-year-old female soldier on the light rail in Jerusalem Thursday morning, seriously wounding the woman before fleeing.
The attacker rode the train north until the Pisgat Zeev station, where he stood up and stabbed the woman, who was in uniform, several times before running away as the doors opened, said Dep.-Ch. Nissan Aderi, the commander of the polices Zion Precinct.
This is the first terrorist attack on the light rail since it began carrying passengers in August. The suspect was caught around 11:30 a.m. at the Kalandiya crossing, located near the Pisgat Zeev neighborhood, trying to return to Palestinian Authority- controlled territory.
He admitted to carrying out the attack and was questioned by security forces. Investigators were trying to determine whether the teenager acted alone or was part of an organized terrorist group, National Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.
Paramedics treated the victim before evacuating her to the capitals Shaare Zedek Medical Center in serious condition. The IDF Spokesmans Office said the soldier was headed to her Jerusalem base when she was stabbed.
Light rail security officers had checked the teenager when he boarded the train but did not find his knife. Northbound light rail service was suspended after the attack, but resumed after approximately two hours.
We did not have any intelligence that there would be a terrorist attack on or around the light rail, Aderi said. The light rail is secure... There are guards and Jerusalem residents can continue to travel on it.
The level of alert was raised in Jerusalem following the attack, though the city was already on heightened alert due to the thousands of runners preparing to run in the annual marathon on Friday morning. The alert level was not raised around the country following the attack, Rosenfeld said.
Dvir Adani, a 22-year-old volunteer with United Hatzalah first responders, was the first paramedic on the scene.
When I got here, I saw a woman in her 20s lying on the ground losing blood. I started giving her first aid until the ambulance arrived, he said.
She was stabbed in the chest and had a few cuts in other areas. I heard her say: Why me? Why did this happen to me? Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat visited the soldier at the hospital on Thursday afternoon, and urged calm.
Routine events in Jerusalem will continue as planned and the light rail will continue to operate, serving all residents both Arab and Jewish, he said. (© 1995-2011, The Jerusalem Post 03/15/12)

The Power Of Picture Books: Emily Carroll Talks 'Fairy Tale Comics' [Interview And Preview]
This week, First Second Comics releases Fairy Tale Comics, a hardcover anthology of classic stories adapted by 17 prolific cartoonists. To celebrate, we've snagged an interview with Emily Carroll, whose adaptation of The Brothers Grimm's perhaps lesser-known tale "The 12 Dancing Princesses" graces the book's pages.
ComicsAlliance: Some of the stories in here — Rumpelstiltskin, Snow White, Goldilocks — are some of the most famous fairy tales ever told. Yours, "The 12 Dancing Princesses" is a lesser-known story. What drew you to it?
Emily Carroll: Actually it was suggested to me by the editor, Chris, when I was approached to work on this project, and since I was familiar with the story but not too familiar, I was happy to take it on and figure out how to tell it. It's a little different from the fairy tales I am normally drawn to (no one dies or is hideously transformed, for one) but I like the surreal quality to it, the dreaminess that comes from the princesses' secret.
Also I won't lie, I like drawing period costumes a lot, especially gowns, and here was a chance to draw a whole bunch of them at once.
CA: You knocked out this entire story in just eight pages, with minimal narration. I found a text version that was five full pages of text. Was it a difficult story to adapt?
EC: Not as difficult as I thought it was going to be. I sat down with the story and went through it, crossing out elements that I decided wouldn't be needed in my retelling, and the result was, I think, still very similar to the spirit of the original. Plus versions of the original often go into a lot of detail about the hero's backstory before the story even begins, and it really doesn't come up again, so removing that cut things down right off the bat.
CA: There are 17 other cartoonists with work in this book. What was the story-selection process like? Did anyone, to your knowledge, have to compete over a particular story they wanted?
EC: I have absolutely no idea! As I mentioned, Chris offered me this story and I ran with it.
CA: Is there a story in here you wish you could've gotten your hands on?
EC: I'm pretty happy with the one I ended up with, honestly. I think it has just enough strangeness to make it the sort of fairy tale I enjoy, but it lacks the out-and-out darkness of a lot of others (all threats of a beheading aside) which I know I would, by my very nature as a horror fan, feel compelled to include — and since this anthology was going for more of an all ages feel, I thought it would be good to go outside my comfort zone and try to make something a little more fun and upbeat for once.
EC: I really do feel that picture books have been the biggest influence on my personal work, probably just because of the impact they had on me as a kid. I love the rhythm of fairy tales, and the cadence of the words when you read them aloud. I like the idea of them being something you revisit again and again.
CA: A lot of your original comics take the form of fairy tales. What do you think it is about comics that makes it a particularly great medium for these kinds of stories? Why aren't there more compilations like this?
EC: Like you say, I think they do share a lot of similarities between picture books, but with comics you can arguably control the flow of narration to an even greater extent. It's fun to dig into scenes and explore them in depth through panels, ferreting out what about them struck you so much as a child. As for your second question, I don't know enough about the market to even guess, but I would be surprised to hear that there aren't more fairy tale comics, honestly.
CA: Your story comes right before Gilbert Hernandez's version of "Hansel and Gretel." How does that feel?
EC: I had no idea — wildly intimidating probably sums it up! I look forward to reading it.

Hi, Brink.
I have 2 files names nodispbackgroundpage and nodispscrsavpage in the field System of Policies. I think that's why my desktop background option and screen saver option disabled. I tried to delete them. But whenever I deleted them and log off then log in, they appeared again. I don't know why!

Hi Brink,
Thanks for your reply. However, I found out that my problem is because of a virus which has just been deleted so my computer's okay now. Anyway, thank you very much for your help. I bookmarked this forum and found it great!Many thanks again!
I'm happy to hear that you got it sorted out. Thank you for posting your results.
Does this stop windows from changing my resolution when i connect my external monitor?
When I connect to my TV the resolution changes to a size where the settings box is off the screen and I am unable to click on anything to bring it back.
In my last laptop I had a setting I had made to have single or dual monitor but I have forgotten how I made it now as it was about 2004 I made it
I was able to right click the desktop and select either dual or laptop
Hey Roger,
I'm afraid that it's only to hide or show the Display Settings window for users to make any changes. It won't prevent system (Windows) from automatically doing so.
You might also check the settings in your video driver software (Intel?) to see if it may have a setting for what you wanted.

Risk vs. reward ratio
Investors looking at Athersys, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATHX) who've done their due diligence should see a favorable risk vs. reward ratio and relative safe haven for investment dollars. At least that's the picture through April 2014 when Athersys investors will have first pause to re-evaluate their risk tolerance ahead of the ulcerative colitis phase II initial data release. Those who are both seasoned and savvy investors in the biotechnology arena understand the following: This far away from the April data release they face almost no risk for significant downside. They also know for at least the next three months it will remain this way. On the other hand, Athersys investors have potential for higher than normal rewards heading toward April.
The overall investment sentiment is strongly bullish and the steadily increasing share price is testament to that fact. To explain the bullish sentiment one needs to use a certain level of due diligence. For example, one of the most important questions upon investigating any development stage biotechnology company should be: Is the company strapped for cash? That question comes only after the most obvious question is answered. Does this company possess something worthy of an investment in the first place? In the case of Athersys most investors are investing in the belief MultiStem, a platform based on an adult stem cell derived from bone marrow, will be a success in treating both ulcerative colitis and ischemic stroke. Both are currently hard to treat diseases and patients are in need of better options for treatment. MultiStem is specifically derived of multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPCs). For those further interested in what MultiStem is they should look at the development of multiStem.
Getting back to the important question, is Athersys strapped for cash? The answer is absolutely not. Could Athersys benefit from a higher market cap, sure, what company wouldn't? The thing investors are really interested in is whether the company has in the past raised capital in a way that spares its investors as much downside risk as possible, and whether it has enough money to see its key catalysts through. In the case of Athersys, those questions are both answered with a yes. Athersys CEO Gil Van Bokkelen seems keenly aware and in tune with his company's investors. Evidence of this can be seen in the recent registered direct offering announced on November 27th, 2013, that closed on or about December 3rd, 2013. That offering occurred with almost no undermining of the then current share price. That's most often not the case when a biotech company raises capital. The offering was done because Athersys was approached by an interested investor and Gil made sure his team explained it to all investors in the last webcast. If being approached by a large investor wanting more shares in Athersys isn't an indication of a bullish sentiment for the future share price direction, maybe those investors who can't see it that way should paper trade a while longer. Athersys has also renewed a deal with Aspire Capital should financial conditions warrant the need for more capital. (not likely any time soon). In other words, the risk of an equity placement is virtually non-existent ahead of the ulcerative colitis data release.
Deciphering price targets
In the diagram below investors and potential investors are given a quick snapshot of where things stand as far as risk and reward vs. current share price. This should help with the question that many investors will inevitably be asking: Is it too late to jump on board? It's interesting to note that Edison's projection is right where most conservative share price estimates are, in the middle. That's not to be confused with the risk/reward tipping point, better known as an even bet ahead of a key company event. For those who may not know it, Edison is a leading international investment research firm.
Note the distance between price targets. The distance does not necessarily mean how fast a target will be reached. Rather it's indicative of that generality from past similar acting biotechnology stocks. To see why the line is so short between $2.50 and $3.00 an investor should look at how fast Galena Biopharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:GALE) went to $3.00 after breaching $2.50 then $4.00 after breaking over $3.00 as an example. The Yahoo Finance price history can be utilized in that endeavor. Sometimes targets are broken faster or slower than the lines in the illustration tend to portray, however, they are far more accurate at determining length of time for consolidation at each price target. In other words, if a target on a longer distanced line is achieved too fast investors can expect more profit taking to occur, followed by the typical ups and downs of re-accumulation and new base forming for the next leg up.
Share price targets given in this article are upgrades to previously lower estimates and no longer agree with Edison's estimate. The evolving higher price per share estimates can be seen by reviewing past articles posted via the U.S. Biotech Investor site as well as other articles on the Seeking Alpha site. Actually, looking at the above illustration an investor should be able to see the overly conservative nature of the Edison share price estimate ahead of the ulcerative colitis top-line data release coming up in April or May of this year.
Here's the reason for the departure from Edison's price targets. There's still plenty of time to the known phase II data release event in April or May, with much to look forward to. Current market cap demands more respect, investor sentiment is bullish and should remain so, potential for surprise catalysts ahead of known events, and more is known about alternative markets like Japan. Those are examples of things used to determine a fair value per share ahead of the ulcerative colitis data release. Looking at time to event (data release) and current investor sentiment while combining it with the visual diagram above should illustrate the true absurdity of an investor believing Edison's $3.40 projection will be the top share price ahead of April 2014. That's meant as no disrespect to Edison Research which chose to err on the side of caution, it's just the nature of the game. To be fair to Edison, they came out early with their price target and boldly stated it. Edison did this while the Athersys market cap was a mere $105 million and based on a $1.75 share price. Price target projections from just about all sources have been moving higher ahead of the coming data release. Edison's call being one of the earliest was bold at the time.
Further explaining why current price projections were edged higher: In the latest webcast new light was shed on potential catalysts (like potential GvHD partnering). These potentials had to be more accurately factored in projections concerning share price targets ahead of the ulcerative colitis data release. The timing of potential new events doesn't really matter, what matters is the perception that investors see for share price appreciation.
A look at the last 3 months of 2013
With the year-end comes the occasion for biotechnology investors to revise their investment choices. This usually comes after evaluating the future potential of multiple biotechnology companies both in the short term (months) and long term (year or years). It's logical to assume that Athersys, Inc. will be viewed favorably and as a worthy addition to many portfolios. Fresh on the minds of many will be the recent breaking developments near the end of 2013 like the European orphan drug designation and the end of the enrolment for the ulcerative colitis trial conducted by Pfizer.
Another recent development is the finalized legislation in Japan that provides a framework for accelerated approval of stem cell products. Japan is the world's second-largest mature healthcare market.
Japan's parliament, the Diet, enacted a bill in the last quarter of 2013 which revised the existing Pharmaceutical Affairs Law to define new medical products which contain stem cells to be termed regenerative medicine products. The bill allows the Japanese government to give conditional approval to such products if their safety is confirmed in clinical trials, as may occur on completion of well designed Phase II trials. William (B.J.) Lehmann, President and Chief Operating Officer of Athersys, said they are "aggressively going after Japan." Hopefully news will be coming from Gil Van Bokken's recent visits to Japan. See: Q3 2013 - earnings call transcript for comments concerning Japan.
Here's a quick snapshot
●End of enrollment for the ulcerative colitis trial - achieved
●Initiation of the GvHD phase II/III trial in 2014 likely
●Initiation of the acute myocardial infarction phase II trial 2014 likely
●Potential realization of a partnership for the obesity drug
●Potential realization of a partnership for ischemic stroke in Japan
●Potential for future grants or awards
●Potential milestone payments from RTI or Pfizer
●Small potential for Bristol Myers squib news
●Regulatory changes to accelerate regenerative medicine use in Japan may bring development and partnering news for rights to the Japanese market. *See: Ramifications of Japanese legislation
The above mentioned GvHD indication may in fact have two catalysts: Initiation of the trial and a potential partnering per the last webcast hosted on December 4th, 2013. The same may also hold true for the acute myocardial infarction indication. After listening to the webcast one gets the feeling investors may be treated to unexpected news sooner than anticipated.
Major catalysts
● Ulcerative colitis trial initial data release -April or May 2014
● Ischemic stroke trial initial data release - July 2014
Herein lies a low risk and probable high reward investment opportunity. Shares of Athersys should be valued at a minimum of $5.50 ahead of April 2014 when the top line data for a phase II ulcerative colitis trail will be released. The bullish sentiment should increase as April approaches. A second trial for ischemic stroke is around the corner and reduces risk for investors if the ulcerative colitis data is less than expected. For a price projection beyond both trials data release please see: Treatment for ischemic stroke.
For those who will no doubt argue a $5.50 price projection is too conservative ahead of April. Notice the illustration in this article does extend past the $5.50 mark. Room exists for an upgrade should any of the listed snapshot events occur prior to April 2014.

The Value Spread
- Abstract

- Author(s): Randolph B. Cohen, Christopher Polk, Tuomo Vuolteenaho
- Published: Mar 21, 2003
- Pages: 609-642
We decompose the cross‐sectional variance of firms' book‐to‐market ratios using both a long U.S. panel and a shorter international panel. In contrast to typical aggregate time‐series results, transitory cross‐sectional variation in expected 15‐year stock returns causes only a relatively small fraction (20 to 25 percent) of the total cross‐sectional variance. The remaining dispersion can be explained by expected 15‐year profitability and persistence of valuation levels. Furthermore, this fraction appears stable across time and across types of stocks. We also show that the expected return on value‐minus‐growth strategies is atypically high at times when their spread in book‐to‐market ratios is wide.

By Anabelle Garay, Associated Press Writer
DALLAS A series of storms packing strong winds and heavy rains hit North Texas on Tuesday, grounding hundreds of flights, forcing an airport control tower to evacuate briefly and sending floodwaters spilling into Dallas-area streets.
Winds of more nearly 70 mph were reported at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, where lightning struck a ramp earlier Tuesday.
The conditions led American Airlines to cancel flights scheduled from 11 a.m. through the remainder of Tuesday at DFW airport — affecting some 700 departures and arrivals. More than 100 of the carrier's flights headed to DFW were diverted, spokesman Tim Wagner said.
AIRPORT DELAYS MAP: Real-time status updates
FLIGHT TRACKER: See if your flight is on time
"This is one of the most vicious thunderstorms DFW has seen in quite some time, especially its ongoing intensity," said aiport spokesman Ken Capps. "Add in two snow storms in the past two weeks and this has been one of the most unusual early spring weather patterns in years. We know it can be frustrating for passengers, but everyone's top priority is their safety."
It's unclear how many travelers were affected by the cancellations, but airport officials estimate about 160,000 passengers pass through DFW each day.
By Tuesday afternoon, the FAA began allowing about 30 aircraft an hour to depart. But continuing lightning and strong winds may ground more flights Tuesday evening, airport officials said.
Federal Aviation Administration officials evacuated DFW's west tower for about 15 minutes after seeing a funnel cloud over a highway. A funnel cloud was also spotted over Lake Lewisville, just north of the airport.
At Dallas Love Field, some 20 Southwest flights were canceled. Another 20 were diverted and many other flights were delayed, at most for three hours, said airline spokeswoman Ashley Rogers.
Street flooding was reported around the Dallas-Fort Worth area, but there were no reports of injuries by Tuesday afternoon.
In the Dallas suburb of Lancaster, Ten Mile Creek spilled its banks after day-long rains, flooding at least one house and leaving a handful of cars stuck in watery streets. Television video showed officials bringing rescue boats to the area, though it was unclear if anyone was stranded.
The storms were among several battering North, Central and East Texas that were expected to continue into the night.
A tornado watch was issued until Tuesday evening for East Texas, and a flash flood watch was in effect from North to East Texas through Wednesday morning.
Some 2-3 inches of rain had fallen by Tuesday afternoon and another 1-2 inches were expected by evening, said Tara Dudzik, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Fort Worth.
Weather also led to cancellation of college baseball games in Waco, Fort Worth and Abilene.
The pattern of storms was expected to move out by Wednesday morning, Dudzik said.

Edward Steichen: In High Fashion, The Condé Nast Years 1923 - 1937 has its UK premiere at The Photographers' Gallery this Autumn, presenting over 200 vintage prints, many on public display for the first time since the 1930s.
Brought together especially for this presentation, they mark the period when Steichen was working for Condé Nast on their two most prestigious publications: Vogue and Vanity Fair. The exhibition offers a rare opportunity, not just to witness a key period in history but also to gain insight into Steichen's distinctive approach towards portraiture and fashion photography. First and foremost an independent art photographer, he was a major pioneer in the development of the medium and its status as an art form.
Steichen was already an internationally celebrated painter and photographer when in 1923 he was offered the lucrative and high-profile position as chief photographer at Condé Nast. During his period of employment there, Steichen was said to have been the best known and highest paid photographer in the world. For the next fifteen years, Steichen would take full advantage of the resources and prestige conferred by his role to produce an oeuvre of unequalled brilliance. His work defined the culture of his time, capturing iconic figures in politics, literature, journalism, dance, theatre and, above all, the world of haute-couture.
Universally regarded as the first 'modern' fashion photographer, he was in fact originally appointed to take portraits of the great and the good that graced the pages of Vanity Fair. Seeing the effect these images had on the readership, he was persuaded to turn his attention towards the fashion pages in Vogue.
The works in the exhibition convey Steichen's forward thinking and 'painterly' techniques. He borrowed from a range of aesthetic movements including Impressionism, Art Nouveau and Symbolism to create a characteristic Art Deco style. Within his meticulous compositions, he treated his subjects as vehicles through which to explore shape, form, texture, light and shade.
In High Fashion presents photographs that depict designs from Chanel, Lanvin, Lelong, Patou, Schiaparelli amongst many others, alongside a series of portraits. These include luminaries such as Greta Garbo, Cecil B. De Mille, Winston Churchill, Marlene Dietrich, Josef von Sternberg, Frank Lloyd Wright, Amelia Earhart, the writers W.B. Yeats and Colette; the dancers Martha Graham and Fred Astaire and the musicians Vladimir Horowitz and George Gershwin.
Providing an Art Deco backdrop for the images is a series of three unique wallpapers that Steichen designed for Stehli Silks Corporation as part of their Americana Prints collection (1925 - 27). This collection featured specially commissioned patterns from noted artists and celebrities of the time. Steichen used abstract arrangements of matches, eyeglasses, jellybeans, rice, buttons and threads to create his designs. Also on display will be a selection of rare copies of Vogue and Vanity Fair presenting Steichen's photographs in their original context.
Edward Steichen: In High Fashion, The Condé Nast Years 1923 - 1937 is curated by William A. Ewing, Todd Brandow and Nathalie Herschdorfer and produced by The Foundation for the Exhibition of Photography, Minneapolis in collaboration with The Photographers' Gallery. This exhibition has previously been shown in North America, Australia, Asia and Europe.

I do believe that the 'sender' field of the header matches, character for character, the actual unsubscribe request... That's what is getting to me. Besides, it's my understanding that the difference between open and automatic subscription policies is that under an automatic setting ANYONE can subscribe ANYONE, where as under an open setting the 2 fields must match. Is this not correcy? I logged into the box as another user who was NOT subscribed to the list and attempted to subscribe him, and his request was still sent to the list owner (me)... ARGH! The list (250 member list) isn't actually running on my box YET, but I've got the current list admin breathing down my neck, because it is being kicked off of the server it's being hosted on (too much traffic).. I need to get this done ASAP.. I want you guys to know that I GREATLY appreciate any help on this matter.. Mike Jeffers

I've been observing this one man crusade. It really looks like this guy
has gone bonkers. However there is valid reasons for this, and his
behavior in general. The entity known has Carol has been stalking Jw's
for about 10 years. Very nasty persecution on her part, over a long
period of time she has brought down Jabriol home group ARJ-W. A group,
that he claims to have participated in its construction and devlopment.
True or not, it does not matter. Carol has used various harrasment
techniques to removed him from the group, as she has used against other
Jw's. Posting their addresses, phone numbers, KH location, etc. It was
very succesful, many of the Jw's had stop participating in the group, and
as you can see Jabriol had no choice but to leave when a child p*** was
inserted last week, it does not matter if it was a drawing of a child
having s** with his teddy bear. It matters that a child was having s**.
Yet Carol seemed the nice person here on RP. If I got Jabriol intention
right, his intent is to make you guys feel the same fustration that the
Jw's felt which eventually made them leave their own news groups. Many of
you Ponder's are feeling the heat. It does not matter if some of you are
using kill files and filters, It took Carol 10 years to bring down ARJW.
It may take Jabriol just as long, or not. Many of you will tire of
adjusting your kill files, some of you are arguing with yourselves and
even killfiling each other. My opinon is that Jabriol intent is working
very well. The man can post in 5 languages, when one group stop
responding he will just alternate to another, and another and another.
He has not started his posting in french yet, lord have mercy on us if he
There is a solution. Create an RFD condeming Carol actions. Demostrate to
Jabriol, that she does not have Rec.pond approval of her harrasment of
Jw's and that you all do not share her opinion that Jabriol is
responsible of raping his daughter. Then even though Carol participate in
your group, do not reply to her comments, no matter how well or good
intended they may be. Dicommodate her. If you show Jabriol, that you do
not approve of her actions in the past nor the present, he may very well
deter his actions against your group.
As I read he has given you a 24 hour period to do something. Dont think
that appealing to Jabriol religion is going to have an effect, If he is
truth mentally ill has carol claim him to be, the Jw's won't do a thing
with him. And those who are lurking are most likely laughing at the whoe
situation. Jabriol is also latino, and he took the offense to the
accusation of his daughter being raped by him. Jw's won't interfere in
his defending his household neither.
If I were you, I would really consider the RFD against Carol, and most
likly Jabriol won't come back, unless he decide to build a pond in his
If not, create a new group and have it moderated, I would give it about 6
month before it become totally devasted.
Remeber, terrorism does work, after 911, America has not been the same
and it will never recover.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
Hello I am a licensed attorney here to help you with your question, please review my response and do not hesitate to ask for clarification.
When was ther house transferred and what is the value of the cds?
She lives in a trailer home and it was transferred years ago to the children so it would be considered non-probate when she dies. I believe the trearury savings bonds amount to $20,000 but that is all she has. Mother may need that money to go into an assisted living care facility or to continue to support herself. Her income tax shows that she makes $20,000 a year with her pension less her healthcare.
Please note that it has her name and the grandchildren's names on the bonds
A cd is considered as cash in a bank account, the cd's in her name only would be part of the Estate and she can use her Maryland wild card exemptions which is $6,000 of cash or property of any kind.
The CD'S in the grandchildrens name would also be part of the bankruptcy estate if her name is XXXXX XXXXX as well.
Can we or should we cash them now and disburse . She has not filed yet
If your grandmother has no income except her pension, and social security, I would not file bankruptcy and cash out the cd's now and
and close all her bank accounts.
The collections company and credit cards cannot take her pension or social security, they can only freeze her bank accounts or wages.
If she can arrange for her checks to be sent to another bank account, she would be collection proof, and their would be no reason to file bankrutpcy now.
ok but one of them is taking her to court.
If they take her to Court, they could get a judgment, and the they cannot collect on her if she only has exempt income, and nothing in her name.
She can create a trust account, in her name and have her social security and pension deposited directly into that account, so she would have no worries.
She does not need to go to Court, and let them get judgments.
If she wants to file bankruptcy, have her cash out the cd's and wait 6-9 months to file bankruptcy so the non exempt amount of the cd's will not be taken.
This list of exemptions updated December 2009. All law references are to Maryland Code of Courts & Judicial Proceedings unless otherwise noted. Federal bankruptcy exemptions are not available in Maryland.
there are no homestead exemptions. However, tenancies by the entirety to unlimited amount as to debts of one spouse [In re Sefren, 41 B.R. 747 (D. Md. 1984)]. Also see the section below on "Personal Property."

If you are satisfied with our service please press the accept button so we can receive credit.
Dear Sir,
Sir, I just found out that my mother's property is in the children's name and her name. Could they put a judgment against the property?
It is possible, the deed should be transferred out of her name, ASAP, as even if she filed for bankruptcy the property would be taken, once the name is XXXXX XXXXX her name she will be judgment proof.
For a creditor to get a judgment and place a lien on the property takes several months, after a lawsuit is started so she does have time.
If you have no further questions, and are satisfied please press the accept button so we can receive credit, if you have any further questions please ask, as I am here to help.

No we are not, you said "it is obvious that the kE imparted to THE bullet by way of the gun's motion (as separate from the charge) is cancelled by the reversal of the gun's direction (as it returns to the firing position)."It is that comment about an individual bullet that I responded to. > What is happenning to the others ( after first is fired (in (2)) The kinetic energy imparted to the first bullet is unchanged by the movement of the magazine after it is fired. Similarly the kinetic energy of the second bullet depends only on the speed of the gun at the moment when it is fired and so on. Each bullet has an energy which is determined by the charge and the speed of the gun at the moment of firing and the history of the gun's motion between shots does not affect that energy. > > > I asked that (3) be considered (?) in order for it to be REJECTED! > > > > I know, but it worked the other way and meant > > that it was YOUR explanation that needed to > > be rejected, that's why you wouldn't look at the > > question even after you asked it. > > Bullshit. Schoolyard experiment (stone throwing) proves otherwise. Try it. Throw a stone when standing still, then move forward and stop. Throw another stone. Is the damage any greater than staying stationary and throwing them? Neglecting effects like air resistance the answer is no. However, there is a Doppler shift, the time between stones hitting the wall is less than the time between throwing them. > > > Hint: It is customary for intelligent people to REJECT a scenario as > > > being > > > correct, when evidence UNAMBIGUOUSLY is against it, and in favour of > > > one where the evidence is in support. > > > > Hint: It is customary for intelligent people to think > > about scenarios.

No, I try to make it clear that you say the cause is the bullet speed and I have quoted you in the past, but the kinetic energy and speed are directly related given constant mass. On the other hand, you have netly deflected the conversation, the point is that intelligent people don't reject questions just because they can't answer. Scenario (3) is NOT supposed to be an explanation, it is a picture that you should consider because it tests the validity of your suggested explanation of Doppler. > I have NEVER said that an energy change is the CAUSE of a particular > doppler > observation: what I HAVE said, is that the energy change is irrefuteble > evidence of the reason FOR it.

I warned you some time ago you would find there were problems with using bullets as an analogy. > Wherefore the 20? For photons, we know the energy depends on the frequency even if we are comparing two static sources, say one blue and one red. The speed of the light from the two sources must be the same if the are both stationary but one fires at twice the rate of the other and does twice the damage. That can only be modelled in your analogy if photons are bursts of the same duration. It also makes some sense from a QM consideration. Photons are quantum beasties and the uncertainty principle says the duration depends on the accuracy of our knowledge of the location of the target. > It is these 10 rounds, compared to 10 from (3) > which had the added energy in (4) compared (1) > Hayley (year 10 highschool, worked that out in about 5 seconds) You alternative I believe is that the change is due to the changed speed. For bullets hitting at twice the rate, the speed of the gun needs ot be 0.5c. The speed of the bullets would be 1.5c and the energy increased by a factor of 1.5^2 or 2.25. For photons though, double the frequency only doubles the energy. Speed change is therefore ruled out as the cause - it gives the wrong value. At Hayley's age, I wouldn't expect her to be sufficiently familiar with Doppler and kinetic theory to spot that. > You're Rooted I know the subject. George

The U.S. Senate last night unanimously passed Sens. Joseph R. Biden, Jr. (D-DE), Carl Levin (D-MI) and Frank Lautenberg's (D-NJ) Libya Reporting Bill (S. 1839). The legislation requires the State Department to submit to Congress semiannual reports on the status of outstanding claims from American victims of Libyan terrorism, and on the Bush Administration's efforts on the victims' behalf.
Over the past few decades, several hundred Americans have been killed or injured by Libyan terrorism. The two most prominent cases of Libyan-sponsored terrorism are the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, which killed 270 people, including 189 Americans, and the 1986 LaBelle discotheque bombing in Berlin, Germany, which killed two American service personnel and injured scores more. There are numerous other episodes, smaller in scale, but no less devastating to the victims and their families.
In recent years, the Libyan government has renounced its support of terrorism and dismantled its weapons of mass destruction programs, but the victims of these heinous attacks and their families are still waiting for the final resolution of these cases, in their efforts to receive compensation for their losses.
"Libya needs to understand that the way forward must finally and fully account for the past," said Sen. Biden, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "The bombings of the Pan Am flight and La Belle discotheque in Germany and countless other acts of terror are unforgivable and unforgettable. These victims and their families deserve to know what their government is doing on their behalf to settle these cases and bring them long-awaited justice."
"The unanimous passage of this bill is a clear message to the Libyans that the Senate believes there must be closure with the victims and their families before there can be regular relations between our two countries," said Sen. Carl Levin, Chairman of Senate Armed Services Committee. "I will continue to work with Sens. Biden and Lautenberg to find ways to make sure this message is continuously delivered to the Libyans."
"These victims of Libyan terror deserve justice," said Sen. Lautenberg. "Libya promised to fully compensate these victims, but has failed to deliver. To help these victims, Congress needs specific information from the State Department, particularly regarding the Pan Am 103 and LaBelle bombings. Time and again, our requests for information have been rebuffed or simply ignored. This bill would require the State Department to take these victims of Libyan terrorism seriously."
Libya was elected this week to a two-year term on the United Nations Security Council. After the vote, the Libyan ambassador to the United Nations, Giadalla Ettalhi, said that the Pan Am 103 affair was "behind us" and that bilateral Libyan - American relations are now "normal." While in the past, the United States vigorously and successfully opposed Libya's bids for a Security Council seat, this week, only 12 countries opposed Libya's candidacy.
"Based on Libya's successful campaign to join the United Nations Security Council this week, it appears that the Bush Administration agrees with the Libyans that Pan Am 103 and the other terrorism cases are behind us.' But the United States Senate clearly doesn't agree," said Sen. Biden.

Clothing workers end final shift
More than 400 workers at the Dewhirst clothing factory in Swansea completed their final shift at the firm on Friday.
The company announced in May that the Fforestfach plant was to close after losing money for the last 18 months switching production of trousers and skirts instead to cheaper workforces in Morocco.
As the 435 Swansea workers completed their redundancy period, there was a glimmer of hope for them.
A £15m shopping complex creating around 500 jobs is opening for the first time to customers just yards away.
A former industrial site has been developed privately by The Stadium Group, and the existing Tesco Extra is being joined by other High Street retail and restaurant names.
Job creation
The official opening of Parc Fforestffach was performed by Welsh Economic Development Minister Andrew Davies, with Swansea City football players and club mascot Cyril the Swan also taking part.
The group says the retail park is creating more than 500 jobs, and some of them have been filled by those made redundant at the Dewhirst factory.
However, as many of the positions at the retail park are part-time, workers from Dewhirst who need full-time work were left facing a difficult future.
Some wept as they left the factory for the last time.
News of the end of Dewhirst's Swansea operation was swiftly followed last month by the announcement that its plant at Cardigan was to finish production jeans for retail giant Marks & Spencer.
Another 325 jobs in the small west Wales town where the company is the main employer are due to go in November.
The clothing manufacturer's fortunes have been caught up with those of its principal buyer - M & S - which is only now recovering after a turbulent few years.
As well as the hundreds of job losses announced this year Dewhirst has been retracting its operations across Wales and the rest of the UK over the last four years.
It has meant the loss of well paid skilled jobs with the Welsh Assembly government saying it was powerless to intervene.
In 1998, 300 jobs at the Ystalyfera factory near Swansea went.
A further 165 jobs were lost last year when the Lampeter plant shut.
Two years ago the company also close two of its factories in Stoke-in-Trent and on Teesside in England.

Gold prices climbed to almost $1,900 an ounce last August, and although prices have come down, gold closed at its highest rate in more than a month on Nov. 23, at $1,750. (It closed at $1,715 at press time.) Many even speculated that the volatile market would result in prices hitting the $2,000 mark last year.

Shaler man keeps climbing Elks ranks
The titles are becoming more elaborate but the work remains the same for Charles Cook.
The Shaler resident, a 51-year member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, was elected to the position of grand esteemed lecturing knight. It's the third-ranking national position in the group, founded in 1868 as a men's social club dedicated to volunteerism.
"I'm very elated," said Cook, who was president of the now defunct Etna Elks Post 932. That post closed in 2011 and merged with the Oakmont Elks Post 1668, where Cook still is an active member.
"I put a lot of years in and I'm still very interested in their work."
That includes raising money for student scholarships, visiting hospitalized veterans and funding programs for families of military reservists.
Cook credits his father for an early interest in the service group, which focuses much of its volunteer efforts on local youth.
"We do a lot of work with scholarships," he said, noting that the Elks National Foundation gives more than $3.7 million to college students every year.
There are awards for academics, financial need and leadership. There also are Legacy Awards, handed out to children and grandchildren of Elks.
Cook said the group's dedication to military personnel is impressive too.
"We go up to the veterans' hospital monthly and take refreshments," he said, referring to the Veterans Administration facility in O'Hara. "Sometimes we hire a singer or magician and try to give them some entertainment.
"We're a patriotic group. We do a lot of work with the vets; we spend a lot of money and time on people and that appeals to me."
Nationally, the Elks are responsible for funding the Adopt-A-Vet program, in which lodges sponsor visits, dinners and other social activities to provide cheer to hospitalized vets.
Oakmont Elks Project Manager W.D. Fletcher said Cook deserves his newest honor.
"He's risen through the ranks and is very well-respected," Fletcher said. "He's noticed as a very solid contributor to Elks causes."
Cook said his new title of grand officer won't do much to change his role at the local lodge along Washington Street in Oakmont.
But Fletcher said the leadership role is a prestigious one that could have an influence on the group's nearly 1 million members across the country.
"It is a senior management position," Fletcher said. "His input can influence our future."
Cook, a graduate of Carnegie Tech, worked in the organic coatings field for more than 40 years. He has been married to his wife, Louise, for 52 years.
He served as the exalted ruler of the Etna Elks during the 1970s, when it boasted the highest club membership in the state with 2,300 people. He also has served as the Pennsylvania Elks state president.
Cook will act as a presiding officer at the 2014 Elks national convention in New Orleans.
"The Oakmont Elks proudly salutes him for this national recognition," Fletcher said.

LOS ANGELES - Steve Alford, who spent the last six seasons at New Mexico, will take over the basketball program at UCLA less than two weeks after saying how happy he was to be signing a contract extension to remain coach of the Lobos.
Reportedly spurned by two other mid-major coaches - Butler's Brad Stevens and Virginia Commonwealth's Shaka Smart - athletic director Dan Guerrero turned to Alford, who agreed to be the latest coach to have John Wooden's hefty legacy placed on his back.
Alford has agreed to a seven-year, $18.2 million contract.
Alford was 155-52 at New Mexico, though his Lobos teams never made it past the first weekend in three NCAA tournament appearances. He had signed a 10-year contract extension, worth more than $20 million, earlier this month, but opted to take on the UCLA job.
"This is truly a leap of faith," said Alford, 48. "It's a little easier when it's UCLA. An opportunity like this doesn't come around every day."
With the opportunity comes expectations.
Guerrero said that Alford has the pedigree to handle what has crushed other coaches at UCLA. Alford was Indiana's "Mr. Basketball" at New Castle Chrysler High. He played at Indiana, under Bob Knight, and won a national championship in 1987.
"I don't think there is anyone better suited for the pressures that come with the job than Steve," Guerrero said.
Alford won three Mountain West Conference titles with New Mexico. But he has taken a team beyond the first weekend in the NCAA tournament only once in his career - Cinderella Missouri State, which reached the Sweet 16 in 1999.
The Lobos were 29-6 this season and were seeded third in the NCAA West Regional, but lost to 14th-seeded Harvard in their first tournament game. UCLA's first-game loss to Minnesota of the Big Ten was unacceptable to many Bruins fans.
Alford had a 61-67 record in the Big Ten during eight seasons at Iowa. His teams placed higher than fourth only once and reached the NCAA tournament three times.
It was a learning experience, he said.
"I learned the difference, where schools are and how they are tiered at the BCS level, to use an old term," Alford said.
Putting UCLA on a tier Bruins fans expect will require re-establishing the program's recruiting muscle in the Los Angeles area. Alford had success recruiting the area at New Mexico, landing Tony Snell and Kendall Williams.
UCLA officials were looking for more than a coach. They were looking for a marketing campaign.
Selling season tickets, which can include a hefty donation to the Wooden Athletic Fund, has been difficult. The Bruins had only five crowds of more than 10,000 at Pauley Pavilion this season, when the arena reopened after a $138 million renovation.
"He's a very personable guy," Guerrero said. "When you sit down and talk with him, he's very engaging. I think he'll hit on all cylinders."
Alford said he will reach out to players. UCLA forward Shabazz Muhammad is expected to declare for the NBA draft, while center Tony Parker said he is considering whether to transfer.
Alford has already picked up one recruit. He said Bryce Alford, his son, will come to UCLA. He is a guard from Albuquerque La Cueva High.
Another player might be on the way. Alex Kirk, a 7-foot redshirt sophomore at New Mexico this season, will graduate in August and said he will consider coming to UCLA as a graduate student, CBSsports.com reported.

No problem. I didn't really understood when/how sponsors were proposed so I used the opportunity of the weekly fesco call. > Have you at least contacted these people to see if they're interested > in being sponsors? No. But I assumed that this was not needed, since it only opens possiblities for the sponsors, responsibilities come only when they sponsor somebody. And, unless I don't remember well nobody asked me first when I was nominated, and I don't think it is an issue. Maybe procedures changed, though, but I didn't saw anything like that on the wiki page. I don't find sponsor related pages in the wiki anymore, however so maybe I read it too fast. -- Pat

While the Bush Administration is having little success convincing its major allies to send troops and police officers to postwar Iraq, offers of help are coming from some very unusual quarters.
The President of Serbia's semi-autonomous province of Kosovo, Ibrahim Rugova, is eager to send several hundred police officers to help - anywhere they were needed.
"I don't have soldiers, however, I have offered police officers - to Iraq, to Afghanistan" or other places, Mr Rugova told former assistant secretary of state Richard Holbrooke at the weekend. "We have very good police forces."
Mr Rugova's announcement follows news that the US recently accepted an unusual offer by Serbia and Montenegro to send up to 1000 combat troops and police officers to Afghanistan to work with US forces.
Kosovo has been administered by the United Nations and protected by NATO troops since 1999, when NATO waged war against the Serbs after Serbia's atrocities against the largely ethnic Albanian population there. When it came to winning points with the Bush Administration, Mr Rugova was not to be outdone by the Serbs.

Star Trek 2 Adds Nazneen Contractor
She'll be Noel Clarke's wife
With shooting about to get underway, JJ Abrams and the Star Trek team have clearly shoved the warp speed lever forward on casting, as the list of names added to the sequel keeps growing every week. The latest person to jump aboard? Canadian actress Nazneen Contractor.
She's been signed up to play Noel Clarke's wife in the movie, though as of yet, the juicy details of how their characters interact with the crew of the Enterprise has yet to slip out. Empire's Man In LA is even now designing a fiendish mind-probing device to find out what JJ Abrams knows.
Clarke, of course, was announced last week alongside Sherlock's Benedict Cumberbatch, who has scored the main villain role. According to Simon Pegg's twitter, Cumberbatch will be starting on set this week. Other recent additions include Peter Weller and Alice Eve.
Contractor is likely best known for her stint as Kayla Hassan on 24, though she's also cropped up in projects such as telly comedy Rules Of Engagement.

Regional effects of hydrologic alterations on riverine macrobiota in the New World: Tropical-temperate comparisons
- By:
- C.M. Pringle, Mary C. Freeman, and B.J. Freeman
- Document: Document (html)
- Download citation as: RIS
AbstractThis article has two main objectives: to examine what is known about regional effects of hydrologic modifications in temperate and tropical areas of the New World (i.e., North and South America and the Caribbean), with an emphasis on fishes and molluscs; and to discuss research needs regarding regional effects of hydrologic alterations in temperate and tropical regions. A better understanding of regional effects of cumulative hydrologic alterations could help inform decisions on the nature and location of future hydrologic modifications.

Miss Dior Chérie
Miss Dior Chérie, a sweet and pretty perfume, was launched this year by haute couture and womenswear designer, John Galliano, to coincide with the 100th anniversary of Christian Dior's birth. The pretty fragrance has notes of mandarin, strawberry leaf, violet, jasmine, caramel popcorn, wild strawberry sorbet, musk, and patchouli. - it's so delightful! I couldn't resist posting this beautiful video that expresses so much about the brand and perfume itself. (video found on a view to)

Was this the same ship as every-one else: Celebrity Millennium Cruise Review by Flo123
Overall Member Rating
Was this the same ship as every-one else
Destination: Asia
Embarkation: Singapore
Our flights to Singapore with Emirates were first class and no delays at all. our transfer to the Conrad Centenial Hotel in Singapore again was first class- did not have to touch our suitcases at all. even breakfast the next morning was included - this was a first that we have had.
The transfer from hotel to ship was very easy. Even got straight through embarkation with no delay and into our cabins at 1300 hours. Luggage delivered very quickly. Our cabin stewards Lydia and Al were very freindly and could not do enough for us.
The shore excursions were all good- with the exception of one on the second day in Bangkok- bus driver pulled over by the police More twice, got lost twice, ran out of petrol and when he found petrol station took him forty five minutes to fill up- however when we reported it to shore excursions (in writing) within 48 hours it had been escalated to headquarters in Florida, to the tour company and the bus company and we got a 30% refund of the shore excursion - now tha's what I call service.The service in the main dining room was good as well. All meals were very well cooked and presented - remebering that 9000 meals were being prepared and cooked in a day. The only fault was that we were at a table for eight (which we had chosen) two of our dining companions were great- the other four were the least said the soonest mended- they thought it was a fault that we did not gamble our money away and got drunk every night they were even down to eating two main courses each evey night. They wondered why we did not go eat with them on the last two nights. Talk about not respecting other peaples beleifs.
The guest speakers were all very good and informative. the shows in the theatre were also good. However this is the best crew talent show that we have ever come across.
The crew were all frendly even some of the crew members that had worked on the Equinox in September had remembered us. This is also the second time that we had come aqcross Steve the cruise director and again he dide a brillant job. It was good coming back to port and seeing a freindly crew there to greet you. Less

I'm a planner, and I like to be mentally prepared when I'm going into a new situation... I want to know EVERY detail. I'm trying to let go of that because I'm a FTM (first time mom) and I know laber and delivery can turn out a million different ways.
But lately I've been wondering about the timeline of how things happen IMMEDIATELY after delivery.
How long do you get skin-to-skin time with baby before he is bathed? How long does it take to deliver the placenta? How long will it be before I am allowed to take a shower (assuming it's a non-medicated delivery)? How long will it be before you're ready for visitors? I ask that question because my family lives out of town. But they are so excited and supportive, and I know they plan to be at the hospital waiting to meet the baby. But no one will be in the delivery room except for me and my husband. So in a case like that, how long will they potentially be waiting around before I'm all showered and ready for people to come hang out with us? (Or will I not care about the shower?) As a first-time mom, I'm just so curious how and when all the little things happen.
I know every woman's situation is different. I'm just interested in hearing about other people's experiences. I'd love to hear a play-by-play. :)
