text: Improved Leverage Drives Margin ExpansionGross profit for the 2013 first quarter was $2.6 million, an increase of 48.8% from $1.8 million in the prior-year period. Gross margin expanded 540 basis points to 18.3% in the 2013 first quarter, reflecting improved leverage on higher sales combined with continued cost control. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense increased $91 thousand year-over-year to $2.0 million in the first three months of 2013, due to higher employee related costs and approximately $0.1 million in expense associated with the offer the Company received from the Buyer Group (defined below) on October 29, 2012, partially offset by lower stock option expense. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A was consistent at 13.8% in the first quarters of 2013 and 2012. The Company incurred an asset impairment charge of $0.1 million primarily related to the potential sale of a non-core building that is currently used as office rental space. Earnings before interest, asset impairment, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash option expense (EBITDA), which is a non-GAAP measure, was $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2013, an increase of nearly 90%, or $0.7 million, from $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2012. (See the Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA in the attached table.) Liquidity Cash and cash equivalents were $3.7 million at March 30, 2013, up slightly from the 2012 year-end balance of $3.6 million. Capital expenditures for the first three months of 2013 were $0.7 million compared with $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2012, and primarily included additional custom folding carton equipment. Capital expenditures in 2013 are expected to be between $1.8 million to $2.1 million. There were no shares repurchased by the Company during the 2013 first quarter. The exercise of stock options generated $0.2 million for the Company during the first quarter of 2013. MOD-PAC has authorization to repurchase up to 200,000 shares.

Expiry Date On Cake Box
Decorating By Suewillo Updated 2 Apr 2008 , 3:05pm by agroeve
Is it ok to use a cake mix with the expiry date passed and if so how long after the passed date is it still good to use? I don't think there is anything in a cake mix to make it go bad? Cake mix has never been open.
Thanks for all the help that everyone gives. I love this site and I am new to making cakes.
personally i wouldn't mind using it if its only 2-3 days out of date but only for personal use never for anyone else's consumption.

Harness Divinity [General, Faction-Dependent]
In studying the doctrine of the Believers of Source you have come to recognize divine potential within yourself, and have even begun to access your latent power. How you perceive it is up to you; many view it as a spark of divine flame that can be channeled while others simply manifest their desires on the multiverse through force of will. Prerequisite: Membership in the Mind's Eye or Believers of the Source. Wis 11. Benefit: Choose either Cure Light Wounds or Inflict Light Wounds. You may cast the chosen spell once per day for every four character levels you possess as a cleric of your character level. The save DC is Wisdom-based.
Cleanse Impurity [General, Faction-Dependent]
All Seekers must be at their best if they are to face every challenge before them, and thus it is a necessity to wipe away any damage done to body or soul that could hamper your quest. You have learned to use some of your inner divinity to do just that. Prerequisite: Membership in the Mind's Eye or Believers of the Source. Wis 15, Harness Divinity. Benefit: You gain the spell-like ability restoration usable on yourself once a day as a cleric of your character level.
The Cycle of Testing [General, Faction-Dependent]
Godsmen believe that your outward form in this life reflects your choices in previous lives. Prerequisite: Membership in the Believers of the Source. Harness Divinity Benefit: Whenever you die, you may choose to be reincarnated as per the spell. This reincarnation takes effect ten minutes after you die.
Influence New Form [General, Faction-Dependent]
Some Godsmen learn to control their new forms as they learn the secrets of the multiverse. Prerequisite: Membership in the Believers of the Source. The Cycle of Testing Benefit: When you roll for your new form during reincarnation, you may add or subtract five to the result of the roll.
Sacred Form [General, Faction-Dependent]
Your body is a temple, a vessel of divine potential. Though the purpose of each life is to learn and change through experience, there are certain aspects that must remain pure and unmolested if you are to continue your ascension. Therefore, you have chosen to manifest your divine power to shelter yourself from unwelcome alterations to your body. Prerequisite: Membership in the Mind's Eye or Believers of the Source. Wis 17, Cleanse Impurity, Harness Divinity. Benefit: You become immune to petrifaction and polymorph spells and effects that change your form such as baleful polymorph, flesh to stone, and reduce person. This does not apply to transmutation effects that do not cause a physical chance in form, such as slow, or to transmutation effects that would destroy your form completely, such as disintegrate. Any abilities you possess to change form are unhindered.
Descend the Chain [General, Faction-Dependent]
With enough understanding of their own position on the road to divinity, some Seekers develop the ability to temporarily shift to another state of being. The faction is currently divided on the use of this power; those who practice it argue that by becoming a lower life form they can appreciate aspects of this stage of existence they otherwise would not, while its opponents argue that by embracing descent they distract themselves from the lessons of this life. Prerequisite: Membership in the Mind's Eye or Believers of the Source. Wis 19, Cleanse Impurity, Harness Divinity, Sacred Form, Control 15 ranks. Benefit: You gain the spell-like ability shapechange once a day as a sorcerer of half your character level. Unlike the spell there is no duration; instead, changing form requires a Control check (DC 15 + HD of the creature) and upon changing form you suffer 1d6 points of temporary Wisdom damage. Every two rounds afterwards you take an additional 1d4 points of temporary Wisdom damage until you resume your normal form or drop to 0 Wisdom, at which point the effect ends. Creatures typically immune to ability damage still suffer the damage when using this ability. For creatures such as undead that don't heal damage naturally, magical restoration may be necessary to remove the ability damage.
Complete the Cycle [General, Faction-Dependent]
Many Seekers are loath to allow their quest to be ended prematurely, particularly if they believe they still have lessons to learn from this life. Through their understanding of the cycle of the planes many find ways to manipulate the natural order so they will have a chance to finish their task. Arguments still rage over the ethics of this procedure and whether the reincarnated individual is really not just a new life robbed of its own fate. Prerequisite: Membership in the Mind's Eye or Believers of the Source. Control 6 ranks, Knowledge (the planes) 6 ranks. Benefit: Upon death, you may choose to be reincarnated, as per the 4th level druid spell. One hour after your death, you are reborn at a random location on a plane of your choice where your new race is considered native. This plane becomes your new home plane. When rolling to determine your new form you may raise or lower the result by up to 10%, though you may only return as a humanoid or monstrous humanoid. Any feats or other abilities dependent on your home plane or race may cease to function as a result of your change in race and home plane. You must choose whether to use this power immediately after dying, though if a raise dead or similar effect is used on you before the hour has expired you are raised normally. Special: This feat will only work once, but may be taken multiple times, providing one extra reincarnation for every time it is taken. The DM has the final say on what races are acceptable for this feat.
Cumulative Life Experience [General, Faction-Dependent]
Many Godsmen believe that your intuition is the sum of the lessons you have learned in previous lives. Prerequisite: Membership in Believers of the Source Benefits: Membership in the Believers of the Source. A number of times per day equal to your wisdom modifier, you may add a +2 bonus to any one skill check. This bonus represents the intuition you've gained from past lives. You must choose to use this feat before the roll is made.
Previous Life Experience [General, Faction-Dependent]
Godsmen with enough past lives often discover that their intuition is strong enough to grant them a small amount of proficiency in skills that they have never trained in. Prerequisite: Membership in the Believers of the Source. Wisdom 13+, Cumulative Life Experience Benefit: You may attempt to use all skills untrained, even if they can normally only be used with training.
Disciple of the Foundry [General, Faction-Dependent]
At the Great Foundry, Godsmen spend countless hours working the forges. Prerequisite: Membership in Believers of the Source Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus to all craft checks
Good With People [General, Faction-Dependent]
Godsmen see the divinity inherent in others, and interact with others well. Prerequisite: Membership in Believers of the Source Benefit: You gain a +3 bonus to Diplomacy checks, and Diplomacy is always a class skill for you.
Imbue Equipment [General, Faction-Dependent]
You can imbue an item with a spark of your divinity, making it an extension of yourself and granting it magical properties. Such weapons have strong mystical ties to their creators, and can be a bane or blessing depending on who wields them. Prerequisite: Believers of the Source. Skill Focus (Craft). Benefit: You may create magical equipment that corresponds to your Skill Focus (Craft), such as Craft (Armorsmithing) or Craft (Weaponsmithing), as if you had the appropriate item creation feat so long as your character level equals the prerequisite spell caster level. You may use spell-like abilities or scrolls (which are consumed in the process) to create specific enchantments. You do not need to be able to activate the scrolls but must be able to read the magical script. This feat may only be used on items that you yourself craft.
Priest of the Great Unknown [General, Faction-Dependent]
The Athar venerate the Great Unknown, which they believe is the only true divinity. Prerequisite: Membership in the Athar or Godsmen, access to a domain. Benefit: You are now a priest of the Great Unknown, and you must renounce your former deity as a fraud. However, you retain all your spellcasting abilities and may replace your spell domains with any other spell domains of your choice (you may only do this when you first take the feat, and you may not choose an alignment domain unless you are of that alignment, i.e. you cannot choose the Law domain unless you are lawful). Normal: Priests may forsake their deity and worship the Great Unknown without taking this feat. However, they may not choose new domains when they do this. Clerics that worship the Great Unknown without ever having worshiped any previous powers gain access to the Knowledge domain as well as those domains that match their alignment.
Renewed Faith [General, Faction-Dependent]
Prerequisite: Membership in the Athar, Mind's Eye or Transcendent Order. Benefit: Due to your belief in a power beyond deities (such as the Great Unknown, or the Self, or the Multiverse), your spellcasting powers remain intact regardless of what sins or grievances you committed against a deity that caused you to loose your powers in the first place. Full functionality of any cleric levels you have is restored to you. Thus, if you were (for instance) a cleric of Kord, but ceased to have faith in Kord as a deity (and became an ex-cleric), by taking this feat, all the powers that Kord granted you are restored. The difference is that now, they are awarded by a higher power than Kord that you believe in: the Great Unknown for the Athar, the Self for the Mind's Eye, and the Multiversal Harmony for the Transcendent Order. All divine magic this feat grants access to, and all divine magic gained after it's acquisition, ceases to be called 'divine' magic, and abilities that affect 'divine' magic have no affect on these powers. In name, they are considered 'Belief Magic,' though this abides by the same restrictions and benefits of divine magic (e.g.: can be used in armor). However, things that affect divine magic (such as the Athar feat of Faithless Blessing) does not affect belief magic. Each faction has their own term for 'belief magic.' The Athar call it 'The Unknown Power,' the Mind's Eye call it 'Self-Empowerment,' and the Transcendent Order call it 'Harmony Magic.'
Talents of the Past [General, Faction-Dependent]
You have awakened vague memories of a past life, allowing you to learn some skills with inexplicable ease. Prerequisite: Membership in the Mind's Eye or Believers of the Source. Benefit: Choose two cross-class skills. These skills become class skills for you.
What Kills You Makes You Stronger [General, Faction-Dependent]
Godsmen believe that their soul becomes stronger through learning from past mistakes, even the deadly ones. Prerequisite: Membership in Believers of the Source; You must have died at least once. Benefit: If your last death was caused by something that allowed a save, you gain a +2 bonus to that saving throw. If your last death was due to damage, you gain a +2 bonus to your fortitude save.

Man arrested after robbery, four-county chase
Published: Saturday, December 28, 2013 at 8:11 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 28, 2013 at 8:11 p.m.
A man suspected of robbing a Marion County convenience store led officers on a chase spanning four counties before driving into a tree in Union County.
The suspect, Jamal D. Ross, 21, of Ocala, is in UF Health Shands Hospital with injuries from the crash and has not been charged, said Alachua County sheriff's spokesman Art Forgey.
Authorities initially believed Ross may have been involved in an early-morning shooting in Palatka in which a Florida Highway Patrol trooper was shot in the face during a traffic stop. The trooper returned fire and killed one man while another fled.
Ross was later ruled out as the man who fled.
Marion County sheriff's deputies responded to the Handy Way located at County Road 329 and Jacksonville Road in reference to a robbery shortly before 2 a.m. Saturday.
The clerk told deputies that a man, later identified as Ross, had entered the store and demanded $20 in gas. While inside, he stole money from the cash register, a phone charger and two cases of water, deputies said.
Officials said Ross never showed a weapon and claimed he was wanted by law enforcement officials and he was going to kill someone, but didn't want to hurt the clerk.
Ross, deputies said, escaped in a four-door maroon vehicle.
A short time later, Alachua County sheriff's deputies contacted Marion authorities, telling them someone had been carjacked and the vehicle involved in that incident matched the vehicle description involved in the Marion County robbery.
"Once he got into Alachua County, he attempted to carjack another vehicle but didn't get it done," Forgey said. "He goes on up the road and hits a family in a vehicle, and carjacks it."
Forgey said Ross was spotted by Waldo police but would not stop. He went into Bradford County, where he was pursued by authorities into Union County. Ross drove into a tree and was taken into custody after that.
Forgey said a pregnant woman was in one of the cars hit by Ross during the pursuit. She was taken to the hospital for evaluation as a precaution.
The family whose car was carjacked got a rental car and continued on their trip, Forgey said.

Jair Jurrjens tossed seven shutout innings against the Florida Marlins on Monday, earning his 14th win and lowering his ERA to 2.61. For a guy who seemed to come from nowhere to finish third in NL Rookie of the Year voting in 2008, Jurrjens continues to improve. Acquired in the one-sided Edgar Renteria trade after the 2007 season, Jurrjens hasn't allowed more than one earned run in any of his past four starts. His season ERA ranks fourth in the NL, behind only Chris Carpenter, Tim Lincecum and Adam Wainwright, each of whom is likely vying for Cy Young honors, while you never hear Jurrjens' name in the conversation. Jurrjens won't get much Cy support, but his season ranks near those other guys. Nobody in the Atlanta rotation has more quality starts or a better home run rate.
Who will you be picking early among Braves starters in 2010 drafts? In colleague Jason Grey's Sixty Feet, Six Inches column last week, he ranked Jurrjens third among Atlanta pitchers, and 26th overall. I think that makes sense, because Vazquez is the superior strikeout pitcher, and Hanson might contend for a Cy Young award in the next few years. Despite making a nice leap this season, Jurrjens remains regarded as a solid No. 3 starting pitcher, but rarely is seen as having considerable upside. Maybe so, but for a guy with a 1.25 ERA in five September starts, fantasy owners certainly aren't complaining about a lack of upside. The upside is here. Jurrjens has gone seven or more innings in his past seven starts, really helping fantasy owners -- and the Braves -- when they needed it most.
Somehow Jurrjens remains unowned in more than 6 percent of ESPN leagues. He's likely to make one more start this upcoming weekend, and based on how he's performed pretty much all season, he'd obviously be a wise addition to any fantasy roster.
• Speaking of power hitters seemingly getting toward the end of the line, how amazing is it that David Ortiz now has 28 home runs? He hit one in the season's first two months. Ortiz hit seven home runs in June, July and August, and needs one more this month to get there again after his sixth-inning solo shot off Scott Richmond. Ortiz's batting average is a drag at .238, but he might reach 30 home runs and 100 RBIs, which is quite the feat.
• Josh Beckett did not make the start for Boston, as he was scratched with back spasms, and those who expected a two-start week for him will be disappointed. The Red Sox now plan to start Beckett over the weekend. As for the team's other potential Game 1 starter in the playoffs, Jon Lester threw a scheduled side session before Monday's game and could start Thursday against the Indians. Prospect Michael Bowden did not look very good against the Blue Jays on Monday.
• The Angels clinched the AL West title, but the fantasy spin was a complete-game shutout performance by Ervin Santana. The right-hander hadn't won in more than a month, and his season ERA remains above 5, but this is a reminder that Santana won 16 games in 2008 and was a Cy Young candidate, and fantasy owners shouldn't forget his 214 strikeouts and 1.11 WHIP. It's certainly possible he returns to his big 2008 season next year.
• Ian Kinsler is baseball's lone 30/30 guy. Aaron Hill has 35 home runs. Brian Roberts has stolen 29 bases. And Chase Utley is regarded as the best second baseman in fantasy. Where does that leave Robinson Cano? It leaves him underrated. Cano smacked a grand slam Monday, his 25th home run of the season, and he is now the No. 2 second baseman on ESPN's Player Rater. Cano was hitting third in the lineup, only because other Yankees like Mark Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez were rested, but on many other teams Cano would warrant hitting third. Cano becomes the fourth Yankees hitter to reach 25 home runs and 200 hits in the past 70 years, joining Don Mattingly, Bernie Williams and Alfonso Soriano.
• Closer follies: Grant Balfour earned his second save of the season by getting the last out in a 7-6 win against the Orioles. The Rays went with J.P. Howell for much of the season, but it's anyone's guess who gets the next save chance, or who starts 2010 in the role. Hard to believe Mike MacDougal went from the unemployment line to getting 17 saves, but he threw a perfect inning Monday to close out the Mets. You won't see many successful closers with 38 walks against 30 strikeouts. Speaking of messy numbers, Brad Lidge threw a scoreless inning for the first time in six outings, lowering his ERA to 7.38. Don't bet on any saves from Lidge this week, or in October. Across the state in Pittsburgh, the Pirates say Matt Capps will be their closer in 2010, barring unforeseen circumstances. Another year of a foreseen 5.91 ERA and circumstances will certainly change.

Andy LaRoche, Pirates
LaRoche hasn't been a fantasy factor this season, just reaching double digits in homers a few days ago, but he really enjoyed his Monday against the Dodgers, swatting a pair of home runs, collecting five hits and knocking in six runs. LaRoche has a mere 12 home runs for the season, and is owned in 2.3 percent of ESPN leagues, which seems about right.
John Danks, White Sox
The young left-hander shut the Indians down for a three-hit, complete-game, winning for the first time in a month. Danks won't match his breakout 2008 for ERA, WHIP and strikeouts, but he bested his win total, earning his 13th victory. Danks continues to be a reliable No. 3 or No. 4 fantasy starter, and could get even better in 2010.
Aaron Hill of the Blue Jays continues to add to his best season, hitting his 35th home run Monday. He becomes the third second baseman in AL history to reach this total, joining Alfonso Soriano and Bret Boone. Soriano's 39 homers in 2002 stand as the AL record, while the NL mark is 42. Hill would really have to thrive this final week to reach that mark.
• The Phillies activated J.C. Romero from the disabled list, which normally wouldn't seem like relevant news to a fantasy owner, but with the bullpen of the defending champs lacking a closer, it's possible Romero is called upon to save a game if a lefty hitter is up in the ninth. Romero permitted a .102 batting average to left-handed hitters in 2008. He's struggled this season, but in limited work.
Jayson Stark: He's 22 years old. This was just to get him a taste of big-league life. It was never in the cards for him to get any extensive playing time. If the Giants get eliminated, I think you'll see him start a couple of games. But not before then. Bengie Molina means too much to that team and to that staff.
-- Full chat transcript
Team USA topped Cuba for the World Cup title Sunday in Italy, giving the Americans consecutive titles for the first time since 1974. Team USA lost its first game of the tournament, and won its final 14. Some of the players who led the USA team are prospects fantasy owners will need to know, like future Texas Rangers first baseman Justin Smoak, who hit nine home runs and knocked in 22 runs in the tournament. Other heroes included veterans Terry Tiffee and Jon Weber, as well as pitcher Brad Lincoln, who hurled 4 1/3 innings in relief of starter Cory Luebke to win the deciding game.
• Make sure your Twins and Tigers are active, as the AL Central leaders will play a pair of games at Comerica Park, with Monday's rainout turning into a Tuesday twin bill. The Tigers really seem to have the advantage in both games. In Game 1 rookie Rick Porcello, with a 3-1 mark in September, takes the hill. Later, Justin Verlander goes for his 18th win, and tries to extend his AL-leading strikeout total. The Twins counter with Nick Blackburn and Brian Duensing.
• The last time the Dodgers' Chad Billingsley won a game was eight starts ago. The L.A. ace pitched well in his last outing, allowing only one hit in six innings and fanning nine Nationals, but the hit was a Ryan Zimmerman three-run home run and earned Billingsley a no-decision. Fantasy owners can't like the 5.40 ERA since the All-Star break; before that, it was 3.38.
• Meanwhile, on the other side of Los Angeles, Scott Kazmir is 1-2 in five starts since joining the Angels from the Rays, but his ERA is 2.01. In other words, Kazmir is pitching very well and has deserved better. He's 2-1 against the Rangers this season with a 1.96 ERA, so don't be scared of the matchup. Kazmir is scheduled to be opposed by the unlikeliest 17-game winner in baseball, unheralded Ranger Scott Feldman, who has allowed six or more runs in two of his past three outings.

It's a milestone that I look forward to and at the same time, it stresses me out. Potty training. My son is almost five years old so, of course, I've been down this road before. The problem is, I don't remember a whole lot about it. Did I just block it out? Maybe. LOL!
Well, now it's time to head down this road again. My daughter turned two over the summer and we've been taking steps towards potty training her. My sweet girl has her own ideas about potty training – and everything else. I mean, this is the girl who sports sunglasses to her art class.
It seems more complicated this time around. I was working full time when my son was at this stage. We started the potty training journey at home and then his day care took it from there. I didn't have to worry about running around during the day for errands and drop off/pick up with him. With our daughter, now that I'm at home, we seem to always be on the go. I'm not looking forward to not getting to the potty in time while we're out and having the whole back seat soaked. We have a travel potty in the car to help with this, but still.
I decided to give Pull Up's a try. My thought is that we can still carry on with potty training without having the anxiety about possible accidents. Here's how we're setting the stage for potty training success around here!
I know the Jake and the Neverland Pirates Pull-Up's aren't very girly. What can I say? Her big brother likes Jake, so she likes him too. The next pack she'll be rocking will be Doc McStuffins! 😉
- Our plan of action so far has been to keep the potty handy. Wherever we are in the house, it goes where we go. Gotta keep it near because you never really know when the feeling will strike.
- We have a Huggies potty training DVD that my daughter has watched a few times. She likes to remind me "I'm a big kid now!"
- I want to make it fun so sometimes we sing songs while she's going.
- We celebrate big time she she actually makes it to the potty in time.
- We also have a potty book that I've read to her a few times. Sometimes she looks at it or other books while she's on the potty.
She's starting to tell me when she has to go now. Most times, it's a false alarm. She's getting there though. I am looking forward to getting through this stage. It's still kind of sad though because she's our last baby. When each stage ends with her, it's bittersweet. I'll be happy to not carry a diaper bag though. I hardly EVER carry a purse. So yeah, that will be a perk of potty training success!
We're enrolled in the Big Kid Academy to help in our journey. The Big Kid Academy offers personalized potty training advice based on what stage we're in on your potty training journey. There are also tips and advice from the experts (other parents and medical professionals). The "My Pull-Ups®" page is gets my daughter involved with potty training activities. It's a great resource.
Are you in potty training mode?

Upon first hearing ragtime guitar, I was certain that such a complex sound must have been the result of two instruments.
Surprisingly, that was not the case.
Instead ragtime, like many fingerpicking guitar styles, uses an alternating bass line played with the thumb, creating a far more complex and rhythmic … Read More

Suspended Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun is personally calling fans and offering an apology for using performance-enhancing drugs.
Wes Aldridge, 58, of Muskego, got a call at his office, a phone number he had provided to the Brewers as a season ticket holder. Aldridge was skeptical when the caller said he was Ryan Braun.
"I looked around at the other phones in the office to see who was messing with me," he said Friday.
Aldridge said he didn't waste any time getting to the question on the mind of many Brewers' fans. Why would he take a banned substance?
"The only thing he said was he had a friend that gave him the item and he didn't think it would do any harm at that time," Aldridge said.
On July 22, Braun agreed to a 65-game suspension resulting from Major League Baseball's investigation of the now-closed
Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic was accused of providing banned substances to players. Braun admitted he took a cream and a lozenge containing banned substances while rehabilitating an injury during his 2011 National League MVP season.
The calls started Thursday.
"It was his idea," said Rick Schlesinger, the Brewers' chief operating officer. "He came to us and said he wanted to call fans," including season ticket holders, partial season ticket holders and individual buyers.
The Brewers turned over a list of several dozen random names, Schlesinger said.
"He said he wanted to call everybody on the list," Schlesinger added.
After Braun started making calls, the Brewers began to hear from some of the fans he called, according to Tyler Barnes, the Brewers vice president of communications.
"They were appreciative of the outreach. The vast majority were appreciative of it. We think it's a nice gesture on Ryan's part. We realize some are going to be grateful and others are going to be a little more hesitant," Barnes said.
Aldridge said he got the impression Braun felt bad about what had happened. He said Braun apologized and said he made a mistake.
Westbrook back with Cardinals
The St. Louis Cardinals activated pitcher Jake Westbrook from the 15-day disabled list. Westbrook, 35, went on the DL on Aug. 22 because of a lower back strain, and rejoined the roster Friday for a three-game series against NL Central-leading Pittsburgh.
Around the leagues
New York Mets left-hander Scott Rice, who leads the majors with 73 appearances, will have sports hernia surgery next week and miss the remainder of the season. Rice, 31, finally reached the majors this season after spending 14 years in the minor leagues. He's 4-5 with a 3.71 ERA and has held left-handed batters to a .174 average. … The Colorado Rockies activated pitchers Roy Oswalt and Drew Pomeranz from the 15-day disabled list. Oswalt had been sidelined by a strained left hamstring. The veteran right-hander signed a minor-league deal with Colorado in May and is 0-4 with a 7.64 ERA in four starts with the Rockies. Pomeranz, who was originally signed by the Indians, had been out with left biceps tendinitis. The lefty is 0-4.

By Mr. Gustavo Bahena (Irwin)March 6, 2014
FORT IRWIN, Calif. -- The National Training Center and Fort Irwin celebrated Women's History Month with a standing-room only ceremony, March 5.
Women all over the country and the Army are being recognized during the observance, whose theme is "Celebrating Women of Character, Courage, and Commitment." This year's proclamation by President Barack Obama states that throughout our nation's history, American women have led movements in social and economic justice, made groundbreaking scientific discoveries, enriched culture with stunning works of art and literature, and charted bold directions in our foreign policy. They have served our country with valor, from the battlefields of the Revolutionary War to the deserts of Iraq and mountains of Afghanistan.
At this high desert military installation, Operations Group and the Equal Opportunity/Equal Employment Opportunity office sponsored the event -- which packed the venue, Sandy Basin Community Center. Guest speaker Col. Cheryl Taylor-Whitehead, commander of United States Army Medical Department Activity, here, thanked all the women in uniform at the ceremony for "all you have done, what you're currently doing, and what you will do in the time to come." She asked Spc. Marissa Joyner and Staff Sgt. Holly Burke to stand and be recognized as the Soldier of the Year and Non-Commissioned Officer of the Year (fiscal year 2013) for MEDDAC.
Burke, operations NCO-in-charge at Weed Army Community Hospital, here, said the competition (held in December) was challenging, but she felt compelled to participate and be an example for junior Soldiers. The contest allowed her to experience being tested and to charge forward.
"Attitude makes a difference," Burke said. "If you want to compete, and you want to be there and do the best that you can -- it's all about your attitude. Have that positive attitude and the dedication."
With almost 10 years of service, Burke acknowledged there may be challenges for young women progressing in their military careers, but that should not deter them from succeeding.
"Don't let obstacles stop you -- it only makes you better," Burke said. "Be resilient and be able to bounce back."
Joyner, NCOIC for obstetrics and gynecology at WACH, unable to compete the previous year, was determined to participate in the challenge that tests Soldiers in land navigation, weapons qualification, Army history and regulations, physical fitness and combatives -- the Army's hand-to-hand fighting technique. Looking forward to the opportunity, she prepared in advance. I wanted it, she said.
"I'm very competitive," Joyner said. "I trained a couple of months before going, because I knew I was going to go. Everything's a challenge [for me], because I'm always so competitive."
During the combatives phase -- which included grappling with a male Soldier, who wrestled competitevly in high school -- Joyner admitted she was apprehensive, but ready for the physical battle. In that match, though not the winner, she was able to brawl longer than some of the other male competitors.
"It was definitely a big challenge for me," Joyner expressed. "I was nervous and shaking, but I fought as far as I could. It was exciting. It was an adrenaline rush."
With a huge smile, Joyner (who once completed 101 pushups during a MEDDAC competition) stood as the ceremony audience applauded her and Burke's achievement. Joyner declared she is humble by nature, but she stated that the ceremony honoring women was inspirational.
"To see all these women do these great things, to know that everybody is taking part in the community -- it's a great feeling," Joyner said.
In concluding her remarks, Taylor-Whitehead appreciated past women, who have carved their names in history and paved the way for others.
"There is no doubt women have created a legacy that expands the frontiers of possibilities of generations to come," she said.

Have you ever been to a networking episode that was awkward, discouraging and cypher much than a company paper exchange?
In his publication MANHATTAN SOCIETY: The Art & Spirituality of Networking, Chris London says "Networking with wholeness creates a greater keenness of all parties to be component part of a human conduit to ladle as sparkle and resource to one other. Sometimes you will afford more than than you receive and sometimes you will get put money on more than you make a contribution. It's not nearly abidance gain." Networking is just about bountiful - initial.
To put together the record of networking events, buttonhole them close to you would a nip group. Go next to the intent of woman general and devising friends. In her passage How to Work a Room (Quill, 2000) Susan Roane uses something she calls the Ro Ane Mingling Mantra: "Small talk, minor talk, flyspeck speech. Even if I have an agenda, common man gives a flying fig roughly it. People vigilance give or take a few having a related chat ... the engrossment of networking is exchanges beside people-not what they can buy from us."
Once you touch ethnic group you like, reflect of way to minister to them. This does two things; identifies you as a cause who adds convenience and gives you instant credibility, particularly if you don't know the communication fit. Here are v way to lend a hand your contacts:
- If the association is a vendor, and you know mortal who can use their services, impart them an prologue.
- Send your contacts chronicle articles you reckon they would find purposeful.
- If you acquire unconfined tickets to concerts, conventions or just events, instead of using them yourself, tender them to a association.
- Go the over statute mile. I onetime volunteered to set up a partner's burrow electronic computer. He at the end of the day nigh the company, but we stayed in touch. When I let him know I needed a new place of duty he ready-made a telephone set telephony on my lieu that resulted in an interrogation.
- Ask what your contacts large brave is. Then do a infinitesimal investigation on the substance and send away them the results.
Networking by freehanded changes the changing of just about all proximo interactions. Laid off recently, I titled one and all I knew to let them cognise I was in inevitability of a new task. The response was most one one hundred per centum practical and has weblike me cardinal interviews so far!
Inventory who you know, cause a reconciled stab to collect new general public and don't bury to brainstorm way to oblige them. In the speech communication of resourceful success writer Robert Collier: You have to sow beforehand you can collect. You have to tender beforehand you can get. Network now!

Carnival Pride Activities
- Pro: Sails nice mix of long and short cruises
- Con: Too boisterous for those wanting peace and quiet
- Bottom Line: It's an older ship with modern touches like the posh Alchemy Bar and thrilling Green Thunder water slide.
Carnival Pride Entertainment
A passenger on Carnival Pride could sit in one spot during the length of the cruise and get more entertainment than is to be found on the Las Vegas strip. We were really impressed with the quality of the singers, bands and production shows, and marvel at the creativity of the cruise director's staff.
The Taj Mahal Theatre, the ship's main show lounge, is a state-of-the-art venue in which elaborate production shows take place. At night, Playlist Productions offer short, 30-minute song-and-dance experiences with themes ranging from Havana Nights to the '80s. During the day, families can enjoy and even participate in a live staging of Hasbro, The Game Show -- contestants compete in a variety of challenges taken from Hasbro's classic board games for prizes and for fun. Some of the support posts in the theater interfere with sightlines, but with three floors of seating space, finding an unobstructed view isn't too difficult.
Dance the night away at Beauties Dance Club or laugh until your ribs hurt at the Punchliner Comedy Club -- there's plenty to do at night while the kids are hanging out at their own age-appropriate clubs.
Pride's many bars and lounges have individual entertainment, whether a jazz trio (as in the Raphael Lounge), a country singer (as in the casino bar), or a cool and funny pianist (in the Ivory Piano Bar). Alchemy Bar's lounge area on Pride is one of the largest and most refined on any Carnival ship. Enjoy a handcrafted tipple or devise your own cocktail using a prescription pad in the bar and lounge's modern apothecary-style atmosphere.
Feeling like a brew and a ball game? Head over to EA Sports Bar for draft beer, bar snacks, and EA-branded video games with big-screen TVs playing live games. The RedFrog Pub is right next door, serving up the line's custom ale along with other beers and tropical cocktails.
The pools on Lido Deck have their own sets of entertainers: a Calypso band for the Venus pool area, a DJ for the Poseidon pool at the very aft. All of them are very good, and add substantially to the cruise experience. Newer additions to the Lido Deck are the Carnival mascots' watering holes, RedFrog Rum Bar and BlueIgunana Tequila Bar -- whatever your poison, both are fantastic spots to escape into the shade and refresh.
But, when it comes to entertainment, nothing can compete with the ingenious shenanigans of the cruise director's staff, and the games and activities they devise to keep the ship hopping. There are the usual, of course -- Newlywed game, trivia contests and the like -- but then the creativity begins. Scavenger hunts, pub crawls, pool games that entail stuffing items in bathing suits or relays that require wiggling with balloons between legs, and of course the Men's Hairy Chest Contest (there isn't one for women). Those who don't choose to participate certainly have a great time cheering from the sidelines, but the level of participation is surprising and reaches across all ages. The Hairy Chest winner on our cruise was a 53-year-old electrician from northern California, who clinched the title with his flawless rendition of a Tarzan yell.
There is also an enormous casino with every imaginable table game and slot machine; dance classes, bingo, and art auctions; talent shows for both the adult guests and the kids (in Camp Carnival); dances in the evening either on the aft end of Lido Deck or in one or more of the clubs inside; and one of the best ideas yet -- a teens-only dance several times during the week, 12 to 17 only, adults not allowed.
Carnival Pride Public Rooms
Decks 2 and 3 form the hub of the ship with a combination of bars, lounges and public areas. Passenger flow is terrific -- the public rooms are connected by a two-level promenade with a grand staircase leading between levels. At the ground level of the Renaissance Atrium on Deck 2 are the guest services and shore tour desks.
Upstairs on Deck 3, the upper part of the Via Vento promenade combines a seating area with the ship's main shopping boulevard. Heading from bow to stern, the sunset garden is a walkway with seating areas and porthole windows. It accesses the stairs leading to the kids' areas one flight up, and is a favorite hangout for teens and tweens. The Wedding Chapel is the location for wedding ceremonies and vow renewals.
Next door to the Wedding Chapel, the Nobel Library/Internet Cafe has a small collection of books and 10 computer terminals, as well as a printer and comfy chairs for reading. Internet packages cost $159 for 400 minutes, $59 for 120 minutes or pay as you go at 75 cents a minute.
Continuing along, the Fun Shops on either side of the walkway sell jewelry and watches, makeup, perfume, liquor, Carnival logowear and sundries. Formalities is an odd bird -- it's a combination candy shop and formalwear rental shop. Cherry on Top is a candy and gift store just begging to be browsed. The photo gallery surrounds the atrium. In addition to photos, they also sell cameras, photo frames and scrapbooking materials. (You can also print out photos from your own digital camera on special machines, again for a fee.) A conference room is located outside the Deco Lounge at the aft end of the deck.
A conference room is located outside the Deco Lounge at the aft end of the deck.
Five self-service launderettes are located on Deck 1 midship, Deck 4 aft, Deck 5 aft, Deck 6 forward and Deck 7 aft. A wash is $3.25, a dry is $3.25, and soap and softener are $1.50 each. We found that pretty pricey for do-it-yourself laundry, but sending out your laundry is more expensive (a midweek special was $15 for a bag). A medical center is located on Deck A.
Carnival Pride Spa & Fitness
Spa Carnival, located all the way forward on Deck 9, comprises two levels, with a fully equipped, two-deck-high gymnasium surrounded by glass walls overlooking the bow; an interior hydrotherapy pool; an aerobics studio for classes and workouts (pilates, yoga and individual instruction carry a slight extra charge); complimentary steam and sauna rooms for Pride passengers; and locker rooms and showers.
Hint: The showers in the staterooms are spacious enough, but for a real treat, enjoy the glass-enclosed multi-jet showers in the gym after your workout or sauna. There's a nice rainhead above, and four side showerheads that make you feel as though you are getting a free massage.
A salon for hair and nails, the Look, is located on Deck 9, and a full-service spa. The Body Beautiful, operated by Steiner of London, offers treatments ranging from facials to deep-tissue massages. The spa treatment rooms are just aft of the gym; there is an exterior promenade adjacent to the rooms on Deck 9, aerobics studio above them on Deck 10, and a jogging track on Deck 11 -- all of which can create some nerve-jangling if you're trying to relax with a nice massage while joggers or aerobicizers are thunking in sneakers above you or along the side of the ship.
The spa has a Greek theme but the treatment rooms have gone to a more South Asian decor. Pretty batiks and dark fabrics drape the treatment tables while Balinese bells and scented candles soothe the soul. The more popular treatments also have an Asian touch: hot stone massages, for example, or Shiatsu. One of the best values we found was the scalp, neck and shoulders massage -- very reasonably priced. Other therapies seemed expensive, but are "sale priced" on port days. Look for specials in the daily Carnival Capers, and if you want a hair or nail appointment for formal nights, make sure you book early, as these are almost impossible to get after the first day.
Duffers who want to keep up with their game can use the golf cage on Deck 11 aft. The central pool, Apollo, is used for a variety of games and activities designed by the cruise director's staff. The forward pool, Venus, is quiet, perfect for lazing around when the weather is good. The adults-only Serenity Deck, located on the stern, features the ship's third pool.
The fourth swimming pool, the one for kids, is located on the Sun Deck above the Lido Deck; it has a two-deck-high twisty waterslide slide and is active, splashy and rowdy. Plenty of adult "kids" enjoy the slide, so the pool has a nice mix of ages and is not solely limited to youngsters. The steep Green Thunder waterslide was added during a recent renovation and adds to the ship's WaterWorks area.
All of the swimming pools have adjacent whirlpools that are large and tend to be quite sociable.

Newsletter. Overview of Changes in Legislation. June-August 2013
The Overview of Changes in Legislation
June - August 2013
Currency and finance regulation
Federal Law on Amendment of Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation in Connection with the Transfer of the Powers to Regulate, Control and Supervise Financial Markets to the RF Central Bank, dated July 23, 2013, No. 251-FZ.
As part of the financial markets management system reform (aimed primarily at enhancing state control and supervision of all their sectors) and the implementation of the long-discussed concept of creation of a mega-regulator in that area, subject to amendment are certain federal laws including the Law on Banks and Banking, Law on the Central Bank of Russia, Law on Joint Stock Companies, Law on the Securities Market, Law on Microfinancial Activity and Microfinancial Organizations, Law on State Registration of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs, the Tax Code, and other.
The Central Bank of Russia (the "CB") has taken over the powers of the Federal Service for Financial Markets, including registration of securities issues and prospectuses; control and supervision of compliance with the laws on joint stock companies and securities; regulation, control and supervision of corporate relationships in joint stock companies; and control of compliance with the laws on counteraction to improper use of insider information and market manipulation. Now, the CB has the task to develop and ensure stability of the financial market, as well as officially record direct investments in Russia and investments abroad. The CB is also empowered to regulate, control and supervise the activity of all non-credit financial organizations (professional bidders in the securities market, investment funds, insurance companies, credit organizations, consumer cooperatives, microfinancial organizations, etc.).
The CB has acquired much broader access to informational resources. For example, according to the changes in the Federal Law on State Registration of Title to and Transactions with Real Estate and the Federal Law on State Registration of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs, the CB may require information from the Consolidate State Register of Title to and Transactions with Real Estate concerning the contents of title documents, a certain person's rights to real estate, transfer of rights to real estate, the right-holder's incapacity or partial incapacity, and any information from the Consolidate State Register of Legal Entities and the Consolidate State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs.
In the light of the global tendency to broaden informational cooperation in the currency and financial area, the CB has been granted the right to exchange information and documents with a foreign financial market regulator, including information constituting a bank secret (in particular, confidential information on operations, transactions of clients and beneficiaries), not only on the basis of Russia's international treaties, but also on the basis of bilateral agreements with the foreign financial market regulator and the Multilateral Memorandum on Understanding Concerning Consultations and Cooperation and the Exchange of Information of the International Organization of Securities Commissions.
According to the changes in the Federal Law on Banks and Banking, the CB has acquired the right to require from credit organizations information about opening/closing of clients' accounts and deposits, documents and information on operations with the accounts, transactions of legal entities, individual entrepreneurs and individuals. Credit organizations may not disclose to their clients the fact of transfer of such information to the CB.
The Federal Law on the Securities Market introduces the term "rating agency" – a commercial organization that on the basis of a financial and qualitative analysis assigns the creditworthiness and other ratings to legal entities and other formations.
The list of financial organizations for which the Federal Law on Insolvency (Bankruptcy) establishes a special bankruptcy procedure has been supplemented with bid initiators and microfinancial organizations. It is established that the powers of a financial organizations liquidator and receiver are to be exercised by Deposit Insurance Agency, a state corporation.
The majority of the changes described above came into force on September 1, 2013, and as of that date the Federal Service for Financial Markets was abolished in accordance with Presidential Decree, dated July 25, 2013, No. 645.
Order of the RF Ministry of Finance on the Approval of the Administrative Rules of the Federal Service for Financial-Budget Supervision on Control over Currency Operations Performed by Residents and Non-Residents Not Being Credit Organizations (the "Rules"), dated April 24, 2013, No. 48n, came into force on August 12, 2013.
The Rules determine the procedure for financial-budget control over compliance by residents and non-residents not being credit organizations (inspection objects) with currency laws in the course of currency operations (we remind that the said functions are performed by the Federal Service for Financial-Budget Supervision (Rosfinnadzor) being in the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Finance); describe the powers of Rosfinnadzor, the rights and obligations of inspection objects. The total duration of an inspection is limited to 12 months (or, as the Rules go, "may not exceed 253 business days"). Planned inspections of one inspection object (resident or non-resident) may be carried out once in three years only. In the course of an inspection Rosfinnadzor (or its territorial body) may require that the object of inspection provide information and documents, including those concerning currency accounts abroad, the notification of tax authorities about opening/closing of such accounts, currency operations, transactions made, etc. After an inspection, Rosfinnadzor draws up a statement of inspection and, as appropriate, a protocol of administrative offence and an order to remedy the offence.
Certain provisions of the Federal Law on Currency Regulation and Currency Control have also been changed (in connection with the adoption of Federal Law on the Amendment of the Federal Law on Currency Regulation and Currency Control, dated July 2, 2013, No. 155-FZ, and Federal Law on the Amendment of Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation in Connection with the Transfer of Powers to Regulate, Control and Supervise in the Financial Markets Area to the Central Bank of Russia, dated July 23, 2013, No. 251-FZ).
Now, residents may without limitation open accounts abroad in foreign currency and in rubles regardless of whether or not the foreign state in which the account is opened is a member of the OECD or FATF. The term "currency operations" has been broadened to include operations connected with cross-border transfers of Russian rubles between residents. Namely, recognized as a currency operation is: a transfer of Russian rubles from the resident's account opened abroad (foreign account) to another resident's account opened in Russia, and vice versa; a transfer of Russian rubles from the resident's foreign account to another resident's foreign account; and a transfer from the resident's foreign account to its another foreign account. The said currency operations between residents can be carried out without limitation. The rule that non-residents may without limitation transfer foreign currency to each other has been extended to the Russian currency.
As of September 1, 2013, the Central Bank has taken over the power to coordinate the interaction of the securities market professional bidders other than authorized banks (previously, it was in the jurisdiction of the RF Government). The requirement to notify currency control authorities of any violation of currency laws has been extended to the securities market professional bidders other than authorized banks.
Federal Law on the Ratification of the Treaty on Cooperation of Authorized Bodies of the Member States of the Agreement for Coordinated Principles of the Currency Policy, dated December 9, 2010, Exercising Currency Control, dated July 2, 2013, No. 138-FZ (the "Treaty" and the "Agreement") respectively.
The Treaty among Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia and the national (central) banks of those states was signed on December 15, 2011. The Treaty had been drawn up as part of the national implementation of international understandings concerning intensification of informational exchange in the field of control over financial operations and cross-border flows of capital with the aim of stabilizing the international financial system and strengthening financial stability of each of the states. The Treaty provides for a practical cooperation of the currency control authorities of the member states of the Agreement in the prevention, detection and suppression of violation of currency laws, including exchange of information and documents on currency operations of residents of the member states carried out with violations of currency laws.
Federal Law on Amendment of Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation to the Extent of Counteraction to Illegal Financial Operations, dated June 28, 2013, No. 134-FZ (the "Law").
As intended by the authors, the Law is called to create conditions for prevention of any possibility to carry out illegal financial operations, including money laundering, terrorism financing, evasion of taxes and customs duties, and to facilitate the struggle with corruption and setting up of short-lived companies. In this connection, changes were made in a number of federal laws, including the Law on Counteraction to Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing, Law on the Organization of Insurance Business in the Russian Federation, Law on the Operational-Investigative Activity, Law on the Securities Market, Law on Non-Governmental Pension Funds, the Criminal Code, the Code of Administrative Offences, and others.
The Law, inter alia, broadens the powers of tax authorities and police to access confidential information. In particular, police have acquired the right to receive from credit organizations, upon production of a court order, statements of accounts opened by legal entities, individual entrepreneurs and individuals. Thereafter, the results of operational investigations may be used by tax authorities in the exercise of their power to control and supervise compliance with tax laws, representation of the state in bankruptcy proceedings, and in the exercise of their powers in the field of state registration of legal entities. Upon request of tax authorities, credit organizations must provide them with information about the opened bank accounts and deposits of their clients, as well as statements of such accounts.
The new rules obligate organizations dealing with money or other property (credit and insurance organizations, professional bidders in the securities market, pawnshops, payment processors, federal post, and others) to identify its client's beneficial owner (the individual who is the ultimate direct or indirect owner of the client or "has an overwhelming interest of over 25% in its capital", or is capable of controlling the client's actions) before signing a contract with the client, regularly (at least once a year) to update such information, as well as document and provide to authorized bodies information about their clients' currency-financial operations and operations with property, and about client beneficial owners, at least three business days from the date of the operation which is subject to obligatory control (operations worth 600,000 rubles and more). Previously, such information was provided with respect to the beneficiaries of client's transactions. If a credit organization is unable to identify any of the client beneficial owners, then the client's individual executive body may be recognized as such.
The requirement to identify beneficial owners does not extend to state and municipal bodies and institutions, state corporations and organizations in which the state owns over 50% interest in the capital, foreign states and international organizations, as well as issuers of securities admitted to organized bids which disclosure information in accordance with Russian laws.
The Law introduces criminal liability for transfer of foreign currency or Russian rubles to non-residents' accounts with the use of false documents and for smuggling of money and and/or money instruments, namely for their illegal movements across the customs border of the Customs Union in the amount exceeding twice the permitted one.
The said changes came into force on July 30, 2013.
Intellectual Rights Court
Information of the RF Supreme Arbitration Court and the Intellectual Rights Court, dated July 9, 2013, on the beginning of the Intellectual Rights Court's activity and Regulation of the Supreme Arbitration Court Plenum on Amendment of its October 8, 2012 Regulation on Certain Issues Arising in Connection with the Formation of the Intellectual Rights Court, dated July 2, 2013, No. 50.
In connection with the beginning of the functioning of the Intellectual Rights Court (from July 3, 2013), the SAC gave explanations regarding the jurisdiction of that specialized arbitration court, including jurisdiction over the cases accepted for process before its formation.
According to the SAC, "cases on protection of intellectual rights are arbitration cases concerning protection of intellectual rights to any results of intellectual activity and equated means of individualization of legal entities, goods, work, services and enterprises which are granted legal protection", including disputes over the right of before-use and the right of after-use, disputes arising out of sale (assignment) of the exclusive right and license agreements; cases concerning administrative liability for infringement of intellectual rights and unfair competition connected with the acquisition and use of the exclusive right to a means of individualization; cases concerning contestation of governmental bodies' decisions on administrative liability in the said categories of cases, etc. The SAC lists cases falling within the jurisdiction of the Intellectual Rights Court as the court of the fist and the cassation instances. In this respect the SAC stresses that in the determination of the first instance's jurisdiction the subject of the dispute has priority over the status of the parties involved: the Intellectual Rights Courts considers cases concerning intellectual property rights as the court of first instance regardless of who are parties to the relationship out of which the dispute arose – organizations, individual entrepreneurs or citizens. The SAC also notes that a review of judicial acts in bankruptcy proceedings, tax disputes, corporate disputes as a mater of cassation process is carried out by the federal arbitration courts of circuits in accordance with the general rules, even if in the course of consideration of the said cases certain issues of intellectual rights protection were touched upon.
Besides, the SAC Plenum gives explanations regarding cases on protection of intellectual rights which are considered by arbitration courts in administrative proceedings under the general rules on jurisdiction. Disputes over intellectual rights involving organizations that collectively manage copyrights and neighboring rights are considered by arbitration courts irrespective of the status of the parties involved and the nature of the disputed relationship.
The SAC further explains that cases in the sphere of intellectual rights protection which at the time the Intellectual Rights Court proceeded to work were under consideration by competent arbitration courts and common courts, as well as cassation appeals accepted for process by the FASO before July 3, 2013, should be considered by those courts on the merits.
Government contracts
Federal Law on the Amendment of the Federal Law on Placement of Orders for Supply of Goods, Performance of Work, Rendering of Services for State and Municipal Needs, dated June 7, 2013, No. 114-FZ (the "Government Order Law").
The Government Order Law has been amended to give both parties of a government (municipal) contract the possibility to use the right of unilateral termination, provided that the government contract stipulates the customer's right to make a decision on unilateral termination. We remind that previously the Government Order Law did not provide for the possibility of unilateral termination. Now, the customer is obligated to make a decision on unilateral termination, if the supplier does not meet the requirements of tender documentation or submitted doubtful information about itself.
The customer should notify the supplier of its decision to terminate the government contract by a registered letter receipt acknowledged and by other means stipulated by the law, and also publish the relevant information on its official site, within one business day following the date of the decision. Under the general rule, the date of due notification of the supplier about unilateral termination is the date of receipt by the customer of the confirmation of delivery of the notification to the supplier or the information that the supplier is absent at the address indicated in the contract. The supplier is also obligated to notify the customer of unilateral termination within one business day. Upon expiration of ten days from that date the contract is deemed terminated. The terminating party should give the other party a ten days grace period for remedying the violation. However, the said rule does not apply if the supplier violates the contractual terms and conditions for the second time.
The information on the supplier that caused termination of the contract is included in a special register of bad-faith suppliers.
The changes came into force from the date of their official promulgation, i.e., from June 7, 2013.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
RedLine was founded by Laura Merage, an artist as well as arts supporter, and the facility combines studio space with one of the most impressive exhibition galleries in the region. Though there hasn't been a regular schedule of shows here, many of the exhibits have been first-rate — and that was certainly the case with You of All People! Here of All Places!, which highlighted the accomplishments of the studio artists. The curating was done by committee, but Jonathan Saiz took the lead; both he and Merage were featured, as were Margaret Neumann, Bruce Price, Clark Richert, Jeff Page, Virginia Folkestad and a raft of others. Nothing linked these artists beyond living in Denver and having studios at RedLine, and the result was an eye-popping assortment of art in a wide variety of mediums. Here's hoping the exhibit becomes an annual outing.
The zombie zeitgeist is in full swing, spawning hit movies, best-selling novels and immensely profitable video games. Every city worth its salt has an annual zombie crawl, where zombie fans dress up as the undead and walk, en masse, among the unsuspecting populace. Denver, being particularly salty, has one of the biggest zombie crawls in the nation. The event celebrated its fourth year with a huge turnout — some reports put attendance at more than 4,000 zombies — and even those who didn't want to dress up as the walking dead could participate by marking themselves as allowable victims via duct-taped Xs on their clothes. Whether the eaters or the eaten, everyone had a good time, and word is that 2010 is a go for the fifth iteration. Watch your brains.
Documentaries seem to always get the short end of the reel in the film world: Nobody wants to see Food, Inc. when they can see Avatar instead. But docs do make a difference in our world, and although most major film festivals include a documentary segment, there are just a handful of documentary-only film festivals in the country. We have one of them. Last year, the Denver Film Society and Foothills Art Center joined forces to produce the DocuWest Fest, for which festival executive director Reilly Sanborn pulled together short, essay-form and feature-length documentaries. The festival might not have boasted the level of star power and glamour of some other film festivals we could name, but when movies are this intimate, educational and entertaining, who needs Hollywood? Lights, camera, more action!
As bee champs get older, do they keep their fine sense of spell? Find out for yourself at the monthly adult spelling bees hosted as fundraisers by Metro Denver Promotion of Letters, a non-profit teaching organization that provides free writing workshops for kids. Staged every third Thursday at the British Bulldog, 2052 Stout street,these beer-friendly bees are strictly for grownups, and each first-prize winner pockets a Bulldog gift certificate. Stop by and sit for a spell; it costs only five bucks to join in.
Iraqi-born Colorado artist Halim Alkarim is a true virtuoso. He's done gorgeous abstract paintings, stunning installations and, for his Robischon solo, The Witness Archive, hauntingly beautiful portraits in lambda prints on aluminum that are imbued with political content. The son of a critic of Saddam Hussein, Alkarim and his family (including his brother Sami, another gifted Colorado artist) suffered under the regime until they escaped to the United States a few years ago. Although the works in The Witness Archive were based on photos of real people, the resulting pieces look more like examples of digital animation. This is because Alkarim put his models in elaborate latex masks and took the photos using scrims — then retouched the resulting shots. As befits the show's title, these pieces all resonate with the piercing, unblinking eyes of the sitters.
In Big Lots, a powerful — and beautiful — show, Denver artist Wendi Harford presented a range of stylistic approaches, with works anchored by everything from graffiti-like looping lines to rigid stripes. In fact, the only unifying factor was the size of the pieces, since Harford favored monumental over intimate; her taste in color was notable, too. Harford was a protegé of the late Bev Rosen, her mentor at the University of Denver back in the 1970s, and these pieces very subtly referred to Rosen's work. A longtime artist who's kept a fairly low profile, Harford has typically not shown her work in commercial galleries, but that changed when she recently joined the stable at Robischon. We look forward to seeing more.

So long would it take you to warm up a bottle put a load of laundry in the for a wash and create a page? How about 40 minutes? (although truth be told the clothes they stopped spinning and yeah still in the my little washer which I have to go squeeze the water out of OH the fun!)
I best to hurry as my sweet little Beanie baby is almost about to get up. Today I am sharing a page that I created quickly with just a few things that I thought would go together.
Today's theme I worked with was color. Which for me was yellow I used it because it was the focal point in my picture.
For the background I used some of the wonderful Elle Studio that I had left over from the Day to Day collection as well as my pad of Basic Grey - Capture snippet pad & the yummy Color Wash from Pink Pasilee
The rest of the page came together as it was just little bits I had laying on the table that I grabbed and just put it together to make this simple yet to the point page. What I have learned is do not stress about your page it's your story your putting together to me this shows my girls together on a beautiful September day. and I can't wait to fill up the Album of other awesome days of these two together alone w/the boys.
How about you what have you scrapbooked this week?
