January 14, 2003
Mr. Robert R. Glauber
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
NASD, Inc.
1735 K Street, N.W.
Washington, DC 20006
Dear Bob:
The Investment Company Institute fully supports the NASD's efforts to protect mutual fund investors from being overcharged by dealer firms who may be failing to extend to investors sales charge "breakpoints," or discounts, offered by funds. We appreciate that this is a matter of great importance and we are committed to assist in any way to help resolve the problem for the benefit of mutual fund investors.
By way of background, the Institute has for many years sponsored a working committee of mutual fund and broker dealer operations executives to standardize transaction processing between mutual funds and dealer firms. This group, the ICI Broker Dealer Advisory Committee ("Committee"), has met and worked continuously since the early 1980s. This Committee guided the development and implementation of Fund/SERV, Networking and other industry standard mutual fund services operated by DTCC, which have dramatically improved the operating environment for dealer firms, mutual funds and mutual fund shareholders. The attached memo describes in more detail how Fund/SERV actually facilitates the extension of "breakpoints" and other sales charge reduction privileges offered by mutual funds.
Dealer sales agreements between mutual fund principal underwriters and dealer firms set out the duties and responsibilities associated with fund share sales activities. Under those agreements, dealers are generally responsible for assuring that various investor privileges offered in a fund's prospectus, including sales charge discounts, are made available to investors. Mutual funds rely on dealer firms and their representatives to convey the information about client fund purchases necessary for funds to apply sales charges in the appropriate amounts.
It should be noted that many dealer firms operate their own proprietary recordkeeping systems for mutual fund accounts, referred to as "sub-accounting," or "sub-transfer agent" systems. In these cases the mutual fund maintains a single account on its books for the dealer, known as an "omnibus account," and has no knowledge of the identities or transaction histories of, or account privileges elected by, individual beneficial shareholders in the dealer's "omnibus account." Thus, the mutual fund is wholly reliant on the dealer's sales representatives, back-office staff, and proprietary accounting system to ensure the proper assessment of sales charges.
Yesterday, several Institute staff and fund company volunteers from the Committee participated in an SIA-sponsored conference call to begin taking steps to help the dealer community formulate approaches to solve the problem. Our initial thoughts are that (1) an educational campaign designed to ensure that dealers' sales and back-office staffs understand their duties under the sales agreements is strongly indicated, and (2) transaction processing systems are very likely not part of the problem. As noted in the attached memo, Fund/SERV and fund company processing systems accommodate proper sales load processing. We are obviously not in a position to comment on the adequacy of particular dealers' systems to properly assess sales charges. However, to the extent any shortcomings in dealer systems are found to be contributing to the problem, we are committed to assisting with advice and guidance in the remediation of any such systems issues.
As noted above, the Institute and its members are committed to providing any assistance the NASD requests and to continue working with the SIA and its members to help find and implement effective solutions to this problem.
If you or your staff have any questions or require any additional information, please contact Don Boteler at 202-326-5845 or Larry Maffia at 202-326-5857.
Will all best personal regards,
Matthew P. Fink

How does liposculpting affect stretch marks?
How Does Liposculpting Affect Stretch Marks?
Doctor Answers 19
Liposuction for stretch Marks
Liposuction in the abdominal area in a patient with stretch marks is going to have a terrible result. As fat is removed saggy skin and stretch marks will be more noticeable and the patient might look thinner when dressed but absolutely terrible if wearing a bikini. I would recommend all patients with stretch marks to make a tummy tuck first in an independent procedure and a liposuction after some time. Not all stretch marks can be removed with a Tummy but tightening the skin will result in a nice appearance when the patient wears a bikini. Dr Pavajeau

Liposuction and stretch marks - Los Angeles
Patients who have severe stretch marks are not good candidates for liposculpture unless stretch marks are therein addressed with laser skin resurfacing procedures. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Liposculpting for stretch marks
I agree with several others who replied. Liposculpture is not really the procedure of choice for stretch marks.
Try Fraxel Instead
Liposonix does not treat stretch marks. It is only a treatment for fat. however, they can be treated with the Fraxel re:store laser.
Stretch Marks Typically Unchanged after Liposuction Liposculpture
My experience is that Liposculpture and/or liposuction will not improve or make stretch marks worse.
Liposuction and Stretch Marks?
Thank you for the question.
Liposuction surgery does not improve stretch marks; "deflating" the involved area of adipose tissue may actually make the stretch marks more visible.
Ideal candidates for liposuction surgery are patients who present with isolated, diet and exercise resistant, adipose tissue with good quality ( high elasticity) overlying skin.
Best wishes.

Stretch Mark Treatment
Liposuction alone does not improve stretch marks in my experience. The best results that I have with stretch marks are to treat the abdomen with laser liposuction (internal skin tightening) followed by Skin Tyte (external skin tightening) then I treat the stretch marks themselves with a profractional laser. As with most procedures, some people are better candidates then others. Evaluation is essential to help you predict how much improvement you would expect. Good luck!

The effect of liposuction on stretch marks.
I have generally observed that tighthening stretch marked skin will often result in an improvement in the appearance of the stretch marks. Conversely, looseing the skin via liposuction may make the stretch marks appear more prominent. It rarely makes them better.

Liposuction sometimes improves stretch marks
Laser assisted liposuction like smartlipo liposculpture may improve stretch marks by tightening the skin. In the same fashion it may improve cellulite. At MetropolitanMD we frequently combine this with fractional laser resurfacing to improve results.

The F-35 fighter jet will become the backbone of US air combat for the next generation, say Pentagon pundits. However, the $1-trillion push to build and fly the F-35 is still not working.
The total US market for virtual goods was worth just over $1 billion in 2009. Worldwide, the market may be worth as much as $6 billion.
That's what some analysts seem to suggest. The jury is out on this one, though.

First Corinthians (4 of 4) by Jesse Hendley
This content is part of a series.First Corinthians (4 of 4)
Jesse M. Hendley
First Corinthians 1
Now, friends, I would like for you to turn with me, please, to First Corinthians, chapter 1, and we are studying today the wonderful truth of what the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is to be in the midst of the world.
It reveals the great CONFLICT of the Church in the midst of the world. It reveals that the Church is the divinely-called messenger of Jesus Christ, and that the Church is in this world to do a job for the Lord Jesus, and that the members of the Church are God's possession, His saints, with a definite ministry, sent to proclaim His Message which alone can save people out of this wicked world and of their lost condition.
We found that the main theme of First Corinthians is "Spiritual Things." Chapter 12, verse 1, says: "Concerning SPIRITUAL THINGS, brethren, I would not have you ignorant." Ignorance concerning spiritual things is something that ought not to be in our lives.
We found that there were DIVISIONS in the Church. Paul is writing to CORRECT the things in the Church that needed to be corrected. There were evils, sins of all sorts that were rendering the Church helpless to fulfill its purpose, which was to be the medium of God's Witness in the world. What is the purpose of the Church unless it is TO MAKE CHRIST REAL, to present God's Message, God's SALVATION in the Lord Jesus Christ? And when a Church fails to fulfill its purpose, it is no longer a Church but simply an organization.
There were four divisions in the church, as mentioned in verse 10 through 13. There were four different parties. A split church, if you please, people at odds with one another instead of working together in unity.
But Paul in the Introduction calls attention to the fact that the Church was called of God, that it was to fulfill the will of God, that it was sanctified in Christ Jesus (that is, God's property), that it was unified (all Christians everywhere that call on the Lord), and ...

Chili's Table-Side Tablets Creates A Server-Free Dining Experience
Chili's Grill & Bar will install tabletop screens in its US restaurants, allowing customers to order and pay for their meals without speaking to a person.
Casual dining chain Chili's will be introducing tabletop tablets to 800 of its US locations, after a successful trial run earlier this year. The computer screens allows customers to swipe through the menu, place their order and pay their bill all without the help of a waiter.
The device is not actually intended to remove waiters from the restaurant entirely. Currently, customers cannot order their whole meal electronically, and have to wait for their server to order the first round of drinks. Nevertheless, the tablets will inevitably change the level of interaction between guest and server. For people in a rush, they can quickly pay their bill without trying to get their servers' attention and can use their credit card without worry.
From Chili's point of view, it is also a means to 'up-sell' items, i.e. get people to spend more money. The Wall Street Journal reports that the tablet trials encouraged people to stay in the restaurant longer and order more. Krista Gibson, SVP President of Brand Strategy for Chili's said there was a 20% increase in sales of desserts, which popped up on the screen midway through the main meal as a visual reminder of the sweet treats available.
The question now becomes will people prefer to go into a restaurant and take on part of the service element themselves?

Do you need more reasons to learn Spanish? Really? Come on!
As you may well know the Spanish language originated in Spain. Since then, it has become the official language of numerous Latin American countries. Even here is America, you can find many areas where only Spanish is spoken. It is also one of the official languages of the United Nations.

I had an idea for a small cake for my grandma's bday, that i wanted to make, 3-4 layers(torted layers) but going from lighter to dark, top to bottom. but in browns/chocolate.
How would the best way to do this be? I cant recall off the top of my head if there was brown food color. lol. didnt want to make my own. Obviously i can just use a chocolate cake, like a fudge, for the bottom.
But i wasnt sure what the best way was to go lighter. maybe one a german chocolate? Thats 2 shades so far, but beyond that i was kinda stumped.
Or like what I'd do for a color is divide a cake mix up into two shades of a color. etc. But then i wasnt sure about that.
One of those brain fart moments.
ETA: would a peanut butter cake be kinda tan/brown? wonder if i could start from there and maybe add a bit of black to shade the other color/s and do chocolate on the bottom. a choco pb cake.

Even if you have been collecting coins for years as a hobby, you can't overlook the amazing investment power that rare coins can bring you. Even if you have just been picking up interesting specimens over time, you could find that you have a serious treasure on your hands. There are ways to take your coin collection to the next level if you find that you are interested in the profit that your hobby could bring you. Even if you'd just like to keep doing it for fun, you should still take a moment to learn ways to protect your bank account.
If you have been interested in collecting for years, then you probably already understand the importance of finding a reputable dealer. Even with that knowledge, you would probably be surprised to know just how many wise investors make the mistake of buying coins from someone that they did not entirely investigate. This can be a devastating situation, should you later learn that your coins are worthless and the seller has disappeared. No matter how experienced you may think you are, you should always thoroughly check out a dealer before buying anything for your coin collection.
Also, the fun of collecting can be ruined by the discovery of false or overhyped coins. You can protect yourself from counterfeit and doctored coins by purchasing certified coins as often as possible. Even if you are just purchasing for fun, you have to admit that the fun fades if you discover that you have been duped. Certified coins may be more expensive, but you can be certain that what you are purchasing is the real deal. It may not always be possible to purchase the coins that you want with certificates, but if it is possible, you should always choose that option.
Finally, learn the difference between value and price. While they may sound the same to you right now, you will soon learn that there is a distinct difference. The value of your coin is its true worth. The price is often a bit higher, as this is what you can expect to pay when you purchase the coin. Keep in mind that coin dealers have to make a living, so that added cost is a necessary evil. Just keep in mind that you can take advantage of that same difference between price and value if you should ever decide to sell your coins.

1. Re: OSM Administrator log-in issue2702024 Jun 26, 2014 1:24 PM (in response to 2659745)
install oracle client,it will solve a problem
2. Re: OSM Administrator log-in issue2659745 Jun 26, 2014 11:05 PM (in response to 2702024)
Like I said, I already installed ODAC. It is like Oracle client.
My question was like, where do configure particular TNS with OSM administrator software. It only allows you to configure OSM server (weblogic ) details,not database details.
OSM administrator should be talking to server, not to database directly.Hence does not need TNS details and it still asking for it
3. Re: OSM Administrator log-in issueN.J Jun 27, 2014 3:30 AM (in response to 2659745)
I see you already installed the ODAC and it has nothing to do with TNS or any other configuration.
If you have already installed Database server(Oracle 11g), then this problem might occur.
As a work around, you can set the Environment Variables > System Variables > PATH, include ODAC/bin path and remove Database Server path. This is how it worked for me. Give it a try.
Naveen Jabade
4. Re: OSM Administrator log-in issue2659745 Jun 27, 2014 4:28 PM (in response to N.J)
Thanks. I appreciate your help Naveen
After doing that I get this message;
ORA-12505: TNS:listner does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor.
Do I need to give Connect descriptor some where for OSM administrator? The login window ask only user name, password, weblogic host ip and weblogic port. Even omscfg.xml does not ask that.
This is client running on windows that is accessing OSM server running on linux. If this is using database connection, there should should be a place in OSM administrator app where I give configure on server database. Where it should go?
5. Re: OSM Administrator log-in issueN.J Jun 30, 2014 9:47 AM (in response to 2659745)
In order to connect to OSM Admin, we don't need to configure any TNS. All is that OSM Admin looks for Login, Password, IP & port.
We can connect to OSM Admin from windows to server running on linux, no issues.
Two verification steps
1) one more time check, Environment Variables > System Variables > PATH, include ODAC/bin path and remove Database Server path.
2) check if ODAC has bin directory ? If it is there, try to install Windows 32-bit installer.
6. Re: OSM Administrator log-in issue2659745 Jun 30, 2014 9:31 PM (in response to N.J)
This is what I did;
I completely uninstalled database server I had
I uninstalled ODAC to just to start with clean slate.
I installed ODAC
I installed OSM Administror
I still get ORA-12541:TNS:no listener error.
Again I uninstalled ODAC only and installed Oracle database administrator 32 client. Tried to log into OSM Administrator I still get the same error.
Is it the problem with windows 8.1 I have?
7. Re: OSM Administrator log-in issue2659745 Jul 3, 2014 11:24 AM (in response to 2659745)
Issue is resolved.
Every thing I did on windows is correct.
The issue is, jdbc configuration of OSM database on weblogic server which is installed on linux. This has localhost in url for connection pool. I changed it to ip address. This issue came up as I installed both weblogic and database on same machine with same ip. So jdbc is configured with localhost instead of ip by default. when OSM Administrator is trying to login database through weblogic, it is using localhos(windows) and not finding listener.

I spoke with Powell in Denver at the Pump Spring Tournament and asked about the schools that have been recruiting him.
"I'm hearing from UCLA, UTEP, Arizona State, San Diego State, Cal, Washington State, San Diego and Colorado," said Powell.
I asked him if any schools stand out for him at this time.
"Probably Cal, UTEP and ASU," said Powell.
Powell talked a little about the issues he'll consider when making his choice.
"The style of play and early playing time are important," said Powell. "The location doesn't matter."
I asked Powell if he has an idea as to when he'll choose a school.
"I don't really have a time frame," said Powell.
When asked if he has taken any visits yet, Powell replied, "I'll probably take a trip to Colorado this weekend during the tournament. And UCLA wants me to go to their Elite Camp so I'll go there."
Powell said he currently has a 3.3 GPA.

Meet our new leasing experts, who in this first discussion, examine how new challenges such as Brexit, air quality and policy changes are affecting fleet managers
Fleet and vehicle operators in the UK and Europe can look forward to less hassle, lower costs and more detailed performance data when running their fleets, thanks to the Esso CardTM from WEX Europe Services (WES), and its latest multi-card offering.
The Esso CardTM is designed to make it easier to manage the costs of running commercial fleets in the UK and across Europe. Traditionally, fleet operators managed their fleets on a cash basis, reimbursed driver expenses or paid with company credit cards – often a mixture of all three. As well as being inefficient and unnecessarily complicated, these can increase opportunities for fraud and pose a potential security risk for drivers.
With the Esso CardTM, fleet operators have total control over the everyday organisation of their vehicles, whether it is trucks, buses, coaches, vans or cars. Every transaction is logged on a single, VAT-approved invoice, helping to reduce the burden of paperwork and making administration quicker and easier. All invoices are prepared in accordance with the Sixth EU VAT Directive, which means no matter what country or tax jurisdiction, reclaiming VAT owed on fuel spend is quick and easy.
A self-service e-portal enables fleet operators to view detailed information on vehicle expenses, statistics and performance; order and block cards online; manage invoices; and view transactions, including fuel, store purchases, automated car washes and tolls, 24/7.
The latest multi-card offering of WES, combining the Esso CardTM with the UK Fuels card further strengthens the appeal of the Esso CardTM. The multi-card solution increases the number of pump sites available to drivers to more than 3,400, without adding to the administrative burden, as transactions from both cards are logged on the same invoice.
Peter Dore, commercial and marketing director at WEX Europe Services, says: "An increasing number of fleet operators are recognising the benefits of the Esso CardTM, helping us increase our customer base across the UK and Europe. The Esso CardTM makes managing your business easy, especially if you're looking to reduce your administration time and paperwork. And when used in combination with the UK Fuels Card, it gives fleet operators access to one of the largest networks in the UK. We're continually developing our product portfolio and services, and we're committed to retaining our existing customers through great customer service."
Many companies are now also seeing the benefits of linking their fuel card account with a telematics solution, enabling them to identify areas of inefficiency and highlighting where staff could benefit from additional driver training or where vehicle maintenance could strengthen performance. WEX Telematics provides a range of features that provide information to improve fleet productivity, reduce operating costs and improve driver safety across your business.
The fuel card portfolio and WEX Telematics of WEX Europe Services, a joint venture between two of the world's leading fuel card companies, WEX Inc. and Radius Payment Solutions, currently covers national and international locations including UK, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg.

Cooking School Secrets: Reality Checks
I'm coming face-to-face with things I never expected.
My hands have morphed. They've got nicks, cuts, punctures and burns that make daily tasks like shampooing and squeezing a lemon borderline torture. I have pretty much forgotten what they look like without band-aids and finger condoms. Plus no amount of moisturizer seems to make a difference in their new texture.
Even more surprising: Not all chef students are foodies. Several have never tasted bleu cheese, seen an oyster or heard of a truffle. I was blown away until I remembered this is really just a career-training program.
Chefs say some surprising things. I wish some weren't true. At the top of my list:
- We used to hide the roast beef when the Health Department came around.
- Chefs have very high rates of alcoholism, drug abuse, amputation and suicide.
- Fat's our friend. Fat is flavor.
- Velveeta's your best choice for a queso-type dip.

Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a)
make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by
Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:
https://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. Google has a bad habit of keeping out-of-date links and thumbnails in their search results, I can try to help you remove them.

Police find dead man in SW Atlanta apartment courtyard
ATLANTA - Police are looking for a shooter after a man was found shot to death in an apartment courtyard.
Officers said they received a shots fired call late Thursday night on the 1900 block of Alison Court in southwest Atlanta.
Police sealed off several buildings with yellow tape as investigators searched for clues. Crime scene techs and homicide units focused their investigation in the breezeway and courtyard of the Brentwood Village Apartments.
They are searching for several witnesses who might have seen or heard something.
Police have not identified the victim or a motive in the slaying.

It is difficult to imagine life without having credit. You need a solid credit history to buy a house or a car. Some employers even check out your credit record before giving you a job.
The ability to buy something now and pay for it later creates an obligation to repay the debt. The longer you take to pay off the balance, the more it will cost you in interest. So, managing your credit wisely requires self-discipline so you are able to score well with credit grantors.
All your financial habits are tracked by your credit grantors, such as banks and retail stores. These creditors report their experiences to the credit bureaus, such as Trans Union, Experian (formerly known as TRW) and Equifax.
Creditors use a scoring system to judge whether you meet its criteria. For example, you receive more points if you own your own home and have lived there several years, held a job for a long time, have large balances in your bank accounts and have handled credit responsibly with previous creditors. If you job hop or move frequently, and pay off your debts late, you receive far fewer points. Unfortunately, you don't see your credit score, which is compiled each time you apply for credit.
Interestingly, most creditors will lower your score if you have too much credit available from other sources. Even if you have a spotless payment history, the opportunity for you to go on a spending binge exists in the eyes of the credit-granting agency.
If you think you have a low score, there are steps to take to manage your credit wisely to boost your credit score. You can apply for a secured card, deposit money, make a few purchases and make your payments on time. Consider applying for a department store or gasoline credit card and build small balances, but pay them off in full each month. Over time, your credit score will rise, and you will qualify for unsecured credit cards on your own.
Some additional helpful tips:
- Don't apply for more than one or two credit cards at a time. Each inquiry about your credit is included in your credit report. If too many credit grantors inquire at once, they'll all be suspicious of your intentions.
- Make it a personal rule not to charge disposable items on your credit cards. Purchases such as food, gasoline and even other debts should be paid for with cash as the purchase is long gone by the time you receive your bill. Who wants to finance a gallon of milk for seven months?
- Consider transferring your balance to a lower rate card. If you apply for and accept a lower-rate card, immediately transfer the outstanding balance from your old, higher-rate card. Ask the issuer of the new card if they have actual payment checks that can be sent directly to the old card issuer to pay off your balance. This method can avoid costly cash advance fees.
- Make sure the low rate applies to balance transfers.
- Avoid cards that charge interest from the date of purchase with no grace period as well as cards that charge interest immediately on a cash advance, plus charge a fee for each cash advance.

4 - 2 Final
Cole, Staal help Hurricanes tune up for title defenseOct 1, 2006 - 8:19 PM WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- Erik Cole and Eric Staal appear ready to defend the Stanley Cup.
Cole and Staal had a hand in all of the goals for the Carolina Hurricanes, who ended their preseason slate with a 4-2 victory over the Washington Capitals.
Staal had a goal and three assists and Cole had a goal and two assists. Goaltender Cam Ward did not allow an even-strength goal for the Hurricanes, who open defense of their championship Wednesday vs. Buffalo.
Staal had an assist on Cole's first goal of the preseason, a power-play tally at 5:27. Staal and Cole assisted on Ray Whitney's goal just over 10 minutes later.
After a scoreless second period, the Capitals scored a pair of goals less than three minutes apart early in the third period. But Whitney was set up again by Staal with 12:53 to play and Staal scored his first preseason goal off a feed from Cole.
Jamie Heward scored on the power play and Ben Clymer scored a shorthanded goal for the Capitals, who open Thursday at the New York Rangers.
No one has shouted yet.
Be the first!
Be the first!

Early buyers will receive 10% customization on reports.
"Next-generation Sequencing (NGS)-based Companion Diagnostic Tests to Capture a Larger Market Share in Chronic and Life Threatening Diseases in the Future"
Advanced technologies such as next-generation sequencing (NGS), increasing adoption of companion diagnostic kits/tests by the pharmaceutical industry, and encouragement from regulatory bodies are expected to boost the global market.
Increasing costs of drug discovery; continuous focus on customized medicines for cancer; infectious, cardiovascular, neurological, and autoimmune diseases; and the need for technically advanced diagnostics has stimulated pharmaceutical firms to enter into the market. In 2013, many new molecular entities (NMEs) were approved by a pharmacogenomic biomarker from the FDA. However, non-validated home brew tests employed by reference laboratories pose a major threat to validated companion diagnostic kits globally, as they are easily available and have faster approval procedures. In addition, different reimbursement policies followed by different regions may hinder the growth of the market.
NGS-based companion diagnostics is one of the major factors that will drive the market owing to its capability of identifying multiple genes at a single time. This in turn encouraged the adoption of diagnostic tests in the earlier clinical phase and ensured accurate treatments. Currently, NGS-based companion diagnostic tests are available for cystic fibrosis and the companion diagnostic manufacturers are engaged in developing tests for other chronic and life threatening diseases. To capture this market, pharmaceutical firms are striving to enter into the global market through strategic acquisitions and collaborations with NGS platform diagnostic firms. Moreover, the end results of NGS is superior as compared to other technologies, as NGS provides a wider definition of genome sequencing that will fuel the adoption of NGS-based companion diagnostic in the future.
This study also illustrates the major market players who have made a remarkable contribution in the global market. The major players of this market are Roche Diagnostics (Switzerland), Abbott Laboratories (U.S.), Agilent Technologies (U.S.), Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (U.S.), and QIAGEN N.V. (Netherlands).

Open call for participants
City Acupuncture team officially invites young professionals to get involved in the international project City Acupuncture (Akupunktura grada) within the European Culture Programme 2007-2013 through participation in workshop which will be held in Split from 7th to 11th October 2013.
Split is the fifth workshop in the series. As well as in the previously held workshops, we will bring together more than 40 young professionals from the region to seek high quality designs and prepare a series of small and precise interventions in public space through intercultural and interdisciplinary dialogue.
- interested parties are invited to send their application by September 12th 2013 containing a brief CV and at least one example of what in their opinion best illustrates the small but effective interventions in urban space
(for examples see the Web Repository at the official project website www.cityacupuncture.org).
- material (links, photomontages, sketches, text, etc.) along with a brief personal comment should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com
- the results of the selection will be published on City acupuncture website and by e-mail on September 16th 2013
- interdisciplinary teams will be formed on site after the location visit
Format: International Workshop
Period: 7th - 11th October 2013
Working time during the workshop: every day 9:00 to 19:00 pm
Regional focus for intervention: City district Varoš
Working languages: Croatian, Serbian, English, Macedonian, Bosnian
Participants: interdisciplinary teams from Skopje, Belgrade, Sarajevo, Zagreb and Split
Number of participants from each city: 3 (+20 from Split)
Deadline for registration: September 12th 2013, 12:00
Announcement of the selected team: September 16th 2013
City district Varoš, or Veli Varoš was formed to the west of the Diocletian palace around St. Nikola church from 11th century. It was first mentioned in the early 15th century, in a matricula of Saint Cross fraternity under the name Zagrađe or Borgo-Burgus. However, it was largely developed during the period of first Turkish invasions in 16thcentury, when it was settled by refugees who had fled from the inland seeking shelter. It is one of the oldest city districts surrounding roman palace along with Manuš, Lučac and Dobri. These plebeian city quarters populated by common people have been formed outside of the city core, usually following the configuration and the special characteristics of the terrain, in accordance with the medieval property regulations, or along the routes and roads and close to the churches which used to be landmarks of that time.
During the middle Ages, city quarter Veli Varoš spread in a fan-like form on the eastern slopes of the mount Marjan. The quarter became an integral part of the city core in the beginning of the century, and a small number of modest plebeian family houses, made of stone have been preserved until the present time. During Second World War, after considerable bombing, many houses were demolished, and throughout time these empty spaces became parks, gathering points, squares; making this district typical lively Mediterranean quarter. In modern days, due to global change of habits and increase of digital space usage, such public spaces became empty and as such a subject of illegal occupation of inhabitants, mostly turning them into restaurant and café terraces, parking spaces, landfills or even dog-parks.
The goal of this workshop is to map and detect such spaces, define the functions of particular space and design and build interventions that will revive them

We played really well last week at Sunderland, but we came away with a 3-0 defeat – but the general consensus was that we played well and it was only the rookie ref Robert Madley who not only gave away a penalty for a little nudge on Steven Fletcher, but he then sent him off.
There´s nothing like giving the other team, a penalty and reducing your side to 10 men to tip the balance in any game but that's exactly what Madley did last week.
OK – so we were unlucky.
Steve McClaren and Jack Butland after the game
Hey – you stopped me winning my second game at Newcastle
But yesterday against Stoke City we all thought that if we could only play near our standards at Sunderland we have a good chance to win our second game of the season and only our fifth win in 30 league games this year.
We have picked up just 19 points in 29 league games before yesterday's game.
We talked last week about what the talking points would be today that would have prevented us from winning – because we find winning very difficult these days – we now have just four wins in 30 games as proof of that.
And sure enough all the news today is about a young 22 year-old Bristol-born goalkeeper Jack Butland who has played for all the England Youth sides, for Great Britain in the London Olympics when he was just 19 and twice for England.
He showed yesterday with his display that he is the heir supreme to Joe Hart as the next England goalkeeper.
He made at least four terrific saves in the second half to deny Wijnaldum, Perez, Sissoko and Lascelles and a great Mitrovic header in the first half had beaten Butland but hit the inside of a post and came out to hit the goalkeeper but still didn´t rebound into the goal.
Jack´s display yesterday reminded us of a Leicester City goalkeeper back in 1961 when we lost 3-1 at St. James Park and the young goalkeeper on that day looked simply unbelievable.
His name was Gordon Banks who made his debut for England three years later and the rest is history – we´ll never forget that save from Pele in the 1970 World Cup in Mexico – an unbelievable save from that Pele header when England were World Champions and Newcastle had just won the Inter-City Fairs Cup the previous year.
In those days both England and Newcastle had good teams and we were looking forward to England winning more World Cups and Newcastle winning a lot more trophies.
We´re still waiting.
And at least on yesterday's display Butland looks like he could become a world-class England goalkeeper – and he didn´t have a bad game last Tuesday night against Chelsea either.
So we can talk again about how unlucky Newcastle are and the fact we were the better side – especially in that second half – but a win still alluded us.
And make no mistake wins and 3 points are what we need as we still sit with just 7 points from our first 11 games the worst start in Newcastle´s 123 year history.
Yes – we were unlucky.
What will we be talking about next weekend after the early kick-off game at Bournemouth next Saturday.
And that comes before another long (and boring) two week International break.
A win would be very good but wins seem to be so difficult for Newcastle this year.
Comments welcome.

Hi - I need Christmas dinner for 6. I was thinking that braised beef short ribs would be a good entree and easy to make (no need to worry about how each person likes their steak cooked). My dilema is that I don't own a dutch over. I actually think I'm getting one for Christmas (thus can't go out and buy one), so I want to know if I can make them in my slow cooker as long as I brown them first.
If anyone has any advice or good recipes that they could share I would greatly appreciate it!

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
There's a truth that's known to all dedicated bargain shoppers: Once you've snagged your first pair of, say, alligator slingbacks, for the cost of a self-service car wash, it's damn near impossible to go back to paying full price for anything. But when it comes to couture, there's a difference between inexpensive and cheap, and the wares at Nordstrom Rack definitely fall into the former category. Offerings from major makers and design houses are crammed into the large FlatIrons store along with toiletries, housewares and shoes, shoes, shoes. A repository for the huge retailer's overstock, Nordstrom Rack is a gift to astute shophounds who know how to filter through the castoffs to redeem that special, marked-down prize.
So you're at a bar, and a certain creepy someone is refusing to leave you alone unless you give him or her your phone number. What to do? Tell the heavy breather in question to call you at 303-575-1696 -- digits that just happen to dial up Denver's Rejection Hotline, a local service of the Web site www.rejectionhotline.com. Although the Hotline's recorded voice is briefly understanding ("I know this sucks, but don't be too devastated"), it's anything but in the long run, hinting that the person being dissed may be "short, fat, ugly, dumb," suffer from "bad breath" or "body odor," give off a "stalker vibe," or is about as much fun as "playing leapfrog with a unicorn." There's no better way to tell that certain unwanted someone to take a hike.
Carousing in LoDo got a whole lot easier -- or at least a bit more sensible -- last New Year's Eve, thanks to the soberRide program underwritten by AT&T Wireless. Folks who'd overdone the bubbly and lacked the means or foresight to book a room downtown for the night were provided free cab rides (up to $50 in value). From 8 p.m. to 3 a.m., chariots awaited, available at cab stands or through a toll-free number. And New Year's revelers got home safely to sleep off their excesses in the comfort of their own beds. But come to think of it, wasn't the name a bit misleading?
Sometimes it seems like DIA doesn't want anyone to leave. Is there some kind of strange force field that sucks the juice from car batteries, flattens tires and disguises vehicles parked in the sprawling economy lots and distant car-parks, rendering their owners powerless to drive far, far away? Perhaps -- but it's no match for the good people at AMPCO System Parking, who scour the premises for infirm autos and offer gratis jump-starts, lock-out assistance, tire inflation and guidance for the hopelessly lost. Armed with a license-plate number, they can locate a car for the weary traveler who's just
plumb forgot where he parked it. AMPCO's attentive employees don't accept tips, so be sure to at least smile and wave as you pull out and motor on.
After over two million hours of air travel, the average American would pull out his or her hair. But Littleton resident E. Larry Beaumont didn't do that. Instead, he wrote a book to help other frequent fliers survive the perils of air travel unscathed. From pre-travel planning, check-in and boarding to flight and arrival, Beaumont takes travelers through the experience with the least amount of pain -- and loads of humor. Included with the advice are humorous stories and suggestions for making travel experiences as enjoyable as possible, often at the expense of others.
It's not easy finding something for nothing at the Cherry Creek Mall. Certainly there are deals to be had, but nothing, not even the free perfume samples, matches the value of the free air compressor behind the mall (near Chevy's). No doubt intended for cyclists passing by on the Cherry Creek Bike Path, the air compressor also beckons to four-wheelers with low tire pressure. So the next time some bohemian friend says, "The Cherry Creek Mall blows, dude," reply "Yes, it does -- for free."

Google Squared: Well, It Squares Your Search
Google on Wednesday officially launched Google Squared in the Labs portion of the site.
Squared is a Labs project introduced last month that lets you drill down your search results. Squared lets you add or delete results to produce the most useful "square" of information that you can save to your Google account and refer back to later.
"If you search for [roller coasters], Google Squared builds a square with rows for each of several specific roller coasters and columns for corresponding facts, such as image, height and maximum speed," Alex Komoroske, associate product manager for Google Squared, wrote in a blog post.
"While gathering facts from across the Internet is relatively easy (albeit tedious) for humans to do, it's far more difficult for computers to do automatically," he continued. "Google Squared is a first step towards solving that challenge."A YouTube video with additional details is here. Originally posted to AppScout.

Teach children about the universe while also teaching them about God. Explain to children that God is amazing and bigger than we can ever imagine because He made the solar system and galaxies. Explore scriptures that mention the sun, stars, moon and planets. Create crafts that reinforce what children have learned.
Coffee Filter Planet
Make this craft to remind kids that God is in control and holds the world in His hands. Show the kids how to flatten a coffee filter on the table. Tell them to use green and blue markers to color water and land to look like planet Earth. Show them a globe for reference. Let the children spray the middle of their coffee filters once or twice with water from a spray bottle. Watch as the ink runs together to make a realistic-looking planet Earth. Have the children trace and cut out hand shapes from construction paper, and glue the coffee filter in the middle of the two hands.
Mighty Meteors
Give each child an aluminum foil square, five long strands of crepe paper and a half sheet of old newspaper. Place the crepe paper streamers on top of the foil square so their middles line up. Crumple the newspaper into a ball and put it on top of the crepe streamers and foil. Gather the sides of the foil square around the ball and streamers so that you have what looks like a foil ball with streamers coming out one end. Secure the foil around the newspaper ball with a rubber band. Tell the children that according to Psalm 147:4, God knows all the stars by name. Have them write their names on their meteors and throw them to one another outside.
Multitude of Stars
Tell the children that God promised Abraham that his children would be as numerous as the stars in the sky. Make a star-filled sky by having the kids draw stars with white crayon on white construction paper. At first the stars won't be visible. Explain to the kids that Abraham's wife Sarah couldn't have children, and Abraham wondered how God would fulfill his promise. Then let the children paint over their drawings with black or navy tempera paint. The paint won't stick to the wax crayon, revealing the stars the children drew. Share how God finally blessed Sarah with a baby named Isaac.
Solar System Shakers
Reach children Psalm 148: 1--3, which talks about the sun, moon, stars and planets praising God. Tell children that your class is going to reenact the solar system praising God by making shakers. Give each child two paper plates. Tell one child to decorate his plate as the sun and another child as the moon. Assign planets to a few other children, and let the rest decorate their plates as stars. Have them fill one plate with dry beans or rice and then cover it with the other plate, eating sides together. Staple the edges together to finish the shaker. Sing a class song, and let the children make noise with their shakers in praise to God.

Great Lamps, Great Price
I was looking for orange lamps for a while to go into my contemporary home. My interior designer found these and I'm so happy she did. They look great and have a very modern feel. In person, they have a much more 'rusty and dull' orange than on the website but it still worked with my decor.
