Contact: Alyssa Casill Visit: PhD Website × H Health Care Administration Club Health Care Administration Club The medical field is becoming increasingly difficult for physicians to navigate due to its tendency to evolve at an incredibly fast pace. The future leaders in medicine will be those physicians and scientists well attuned to the managerial landscape of institutions who seek to provide effective and affordable care for their patients. The Health Care Administration Club aims to educate medical and Ph.D. students on everything from careers in administration to a physician's role within the ever-changing world of healthcare. We hope to guide students with questions regarding MPH and MBA programs, as well as educate students by bringing in speakers that will address the challenges of administering healthcare in everything from rural clinics abroad to major urban health systems here in New York City. Events will include career day (where students can hear about different career opportunities in healthcare administration), meet and greets, information sessions about continuing education programs and internships, as well as engaging speakers. Contact: Devi Mehrotra, Oren Feder × Healthcare Innovation and Technology (HIT) Healthcare Innovation and Technology (HIT) Technology has the potential to significantly improve patient care. Advances in big-data and machine learning are allowing researchers to better understand the human genome and better predict disease onset. New mobile applications are allowing doctors to better manage and track the progression of chronic diseases. Advances in biotechnology and medical devices are allowing us to more precisely and less invasively treat diseases. We believe that there has never been a more exciting time to begin a career in medicine and healthcare. In our Healthcare Innovation and Technology club, our mission is fourfold. First, we hope to excite students about the future of healthcare by educating them on the technological innovations that are revolutionizing the field. Second, we hope to make students more aware of how technology may change their roles and responsibilities as healthcare providers, and ensure that they carefully consider these changes before choosing a specialty. Next, we hope to prepare future physicians to become clinical innovators, by teaching them the skills necessary to identify areas in which technology can be implemented to improve patient-care, and guiding them on how to implement change in a field whose complex set of rules and regulations can make it difficult to do so. Lastly, we hope to provide networking opportunities to students interested in medicine and technology. We plan to achieve these goals by bringing in dynamic speakers, organizing workshops to teach students skills related to technology development, and developing partnerships with hospitals and incubators to provide students with opportunities to gain real-world experience in the medical technology space. The Healthcare Innovation and Technology club (HIT) is different from the Entrepreneurship and Biotechnology Club (EBC) in a number of ways. First, EBC is run by a group of PhD students and the events organized are geared primarily towards PhD students. HIT, conversely, will be run by medical students and the events organized will be targeted at medical students, but open to anyone wishing to participate. Second, while EBC only organizes lectures and talks, HIT will also organize workshops to teach students technology development-related skills. Lastly, EBC limits the content of its events to the biotechnology and medical device spaces. The events run by HIT will give students exposure to a broader set of content areas, from biotechnology and medical devices to genomics, artificial intelligence, information technology, and mobile application development.

Phillip Johnson, has been a professor of law at Berkeley University for 26 years, and is one of the world's most important critics of Darwinism. In Darwin on Trial, Johnson states that the philosophy behind the theory of evolution was based on naturalism, and that evolution is supported for ideological reasons:
. . . the leaders of science see themselves as locked in a desperate battle against religious fundamentalists, a label which they tend to apply broadly to anyone who believes in a Creator who plays an active role in worldly affairs. These fundamentalists are seen as a threat to liberal freedom, and especially as a threat to public support for scientific research. As the creation myth of scientific naturalism, Darwinism plays an indispensable ideological role in the war against fundamentalism. For that reason, the scientific organizations are devoted to protecting Darwinism rather than testing it, and the rules of scientific investigation have been shaped to help them succeed. 231
A theory that is the product of a mind can never adequately explain the mind that produced the theory. The story of the great scientific mind that discovers absolute truth is satisfying only so long as we accept the mind itself as a given. Once we try to explain the mind as a product of its own discoveries, we are in a hall of mirrors with no exit. 232

"This program was everything I'd hoped it would be. It is perfect and flawless in every way. If looking for a wedding program, I would highly recommend this one."
"Just love how easy it was to create our wedding programs and loved how quickly the designer got back with revisions and knew exactly how I needed it to look. Just couldn't be happier."
"I love the look and the quality of these programs. The best part was the customer service with personalizing and formatting. I needed custom work adjusting my layout and wording and WPD did a great job. They were quick to get back to me and sent proof after proof while I made changes and adjustments. Some proofs were sent back only minutes after I submitted changes."
"I used this product for a 'schedule of events' for my destination wedding. The longer cut allowed me to fit all the information I needed in in regards to a 3-day schedule. The design team at Wedding Paper Divas adjusted the layout and text and transformed it into exactly what I was looking for. The quality is great and the design team got it done super fast."
"These turned out better than I thought they would. The paper was a high-end thicker cardstock that ended up being a hit at our ceremony. We personalized it to Navy for the cover, and added a pop of coral to headers on the inside. Wedding Paper Divas team is great and really worked with me on getting this to where I wanted it for our ceremony. So happy we choose them!"

About 475 people packed the lower level of the Shubert Theatre for the seventh annual Shakespeare in the Law event: a discussion and debate on the art and practice of judging, framed by a one-hour staged reading of Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure."
The event was co-sponsored by the Massachusetts Bar Association, McCarter & English LLP, the Boston Lawyers Chapter of the Federalist Society and the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company.
Mark L. Wolf, chief judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, filled in as host of the event for Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, who was not able to attend. Wolf described Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure" as a play full of "layers of moral contradiction." Twenty years ago, he told the audience, he and his peers spent several hours discussing the play at a judges conference.
The impressive cast of judges and attorneys, coupled with the play's rich content, made for an entertaining hour-long reading. "All lawyers are performers at heart," event organizer and Boston attorney Daniel J. Kelly observed. His words proved true, as each of the participants shined in the Shubert's spotlights: MBA Past President Wayne A. Budd donned a black hood to portray the Duke and his frequent disguise of a friar, and Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, with a goofy cowboy hat and some rope-handcuffs, skillfully played the dimwitted Constable Elbow.
The play's powerful themes also made for an engaging post-play discussion. Author and attorney Daniel Kornstein opened the discussion by pointing out that "Measure for Measure" has "more legal themes than any other Shakespeare play," including the enforcement of morals, respect for the law, capital punishment and the art of judging. In a broad sense, Kornstein noted, the play asks, "What makes a good judge?"
The judges and attorneys spent the next hour discussing the qualities of a good judge, especially focusing on the modern-day issue of sentencing guidelines. Judge Nancy Gertner of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts identified an important theme of the play as having general rules for complex social situations. "Issues are never black and white," she said, "Judges take many things into account [in sentencing]."
Judge Patti B. Saris, also of the U.S. District Court, agreed: "When issues about morality arise, mandatory minimums become more complicated."
Look for more details about the event and the participants' discussion in the July/August issue of Lawyers Journal.

Nephew, Dan, is an Army Special Forces Captain. He is a jumpmaster for 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR). SOAR is responsible for the insertion and extraction of other Special Forces such as Navy Seals and Army Green Berets and Delta Force. We've been expecting to hear within the next week or 10 days that Dan has returned from his 9th, and final, deployment. Dan has also been "out of country" for short periods during two events of major international significance - the death of Osama bin Laden and the Navy SEAL raid on the pirates in Somalia this past January. He reported 1 week late for his current deployment, being "out of country" during the Somalia raid the end of January.
Got the call last night, a little before 9 P.M. Central Time, that Dan is home!
Dan will leave the Army on June 1. Has already accepted a position in the semi-private sector that will start mid-September. He plans to spend the summer relaxing and touring the country on his Harley Soft Tail.
Special Ops often deploy for much shorter periods, go more frequently, and missions are much more intense than regular Army. Dan has been deployed or "out of country" for 829 days since July 2006.

The Beast came with a broken driver's seat.
Honestly, I have a hard time imagining how it got that way... it was as if somebody had swung from the roll bar and kicked the top of the seat back with all his strength. The part you sit on was all right, but from the shoulder blades up it just flopped back like it was on hinges.
My first thought was just to replace all the Beast's seats as part of a general upgrade to the vehicle. Then I priced them out... no, thanks! My compromise was to replace the driver's seat, and then put new waterproof covers on the ratty remaining seats to pretty them up and protect passengers' clothes from all the ground-in dirt.
My choice was the Bestop 3933437 TrailMax Vinyl Front High Back Seat. Bestop advertises it as their bottom-end, better-than-factory replacement, and I really have to agree. I had the seat out of the box and fully installed in about 20 minutes, and it's noticably comfier than the old one (from the shoulders down, I mean). The vinyl is mostly waterproof, wipes off with a damp sponge, and will probably last longer than the Beast does.
Incidentally, this seat is pre-drilled about six different ways, so it's compatible with most Wrangler-type Jeep models from years 1976 through 2002.

Fossil plants from this period have many features in common with present-day species. The stoma, cuticle, rhizoid and sporangia, for example, are some of the structures evident today.127 In order for a land plant to survive, it needs to protect itself against the danger of its tissues drying out. Cuticles are waxy layers that cover the stem, branch and leaves and protect the plant against desiccation. If a plant had no cuticles to protect it, then it would have no time to wait for them to form, as evolutionists maintain must have happened. If a plant has a cuticle, it thrives; if not, it shrivels up and dies. The distinction is as sharp as that.
Like the cuticle, all the structures possessed by plants are of vital importance to their survival. In order for a plant to be able to live and multiply, it needs to have all its structures present and fully functional. Therefore, these structures cannot have developed in stages. All the plant fossils discovered so far confirm that plants have displayed the same flawless structures ever since they first appeared on Earth.127 Malcolm Wilkins, Plantwatching, New York: Facts on File Publications, 1988, pp. 25-26. 2009-08-15 11:53:02

Digital transition could drive subs into arms of cable
Cable operators could see a spike in their digital subscriber numbers once next year's transition to digital signals takes place.
According to a story by the Associated Press, Comcast President Steve Burke told attendees at the 2008 Merrill Lynch Media Fall Preview Conference in California that Comcast could see an increase of two to three million new digital subscribers.
Burke also said that nine out of 10 of the potential new customers have landline phones, and roughly 60 percent have Internet access. Comcast could woo the potential new subscribers away from their current service providers by offering them lower-priced bundles of voice, video and data, or a low-priced video-only service.
Time Warner Cable COO Landel Hobbs was also quoted in the Associated Press story and said he sees a gradual transition of customers signing up for DTV.
Broadcasters will cease using analog signals on Feb. 17 of next year. A trial of digital TV started on Monday in Wilmington, N.C. (story here).
Also at the conference, Burke said he expects that the joint venture among cable operators and other companies to offer wireless mobile Internet access could be finalized by the end of the year.
Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Intel, Google, Sprint Nextel and other partners have joined forces to form Clearwire, which is a $14.55 billion company that will offer high-speed, mobile Internet access (story here).
Burke said Clearwire, which will use WiMAX technology, has a two- to three-year lead over other companies with similar plans for wireless Internet access. Burke said once the service is ready, it could be added into cable's existing triple-play package, according to the Associated Press.

Reflections on Arts Education and the CARE Program
When I used to teach, my favorite moments were wrapped up in an energetic silence—those times when you knew a student was "working it out" in her head. Now that I am an education researcher, I have shifted from teaching into empirically investigating these moments. What exactly is happening to students' thinking when they are exposed to the arts and how can we recognize it when it happens?
The major question we have been asking through the CARE program is how the arts promote critical thinking. Like many others interested in this issue (See: Critical Links: Learning in the Arts and Student Academic and Social Development, for a good compendia of existing research), we have looked at indicators of critical thinking, such as, making robust observations, forming hypothesis about what is going on in a work of art, providing reasoning based on evidence, and handling multiple interpretations…and the results have been significant. For you stats geeks like me who are reading this, we're finding p-values at less than .01 on a majority of the indicators.
So how does all this happen? Well, primarily it's because we have a fabulous cadre of artist-instructors who are dedicated to bringing the arts to students and teachers in schools that have no arts
programming. Check out Lucera Gallegos, Elizabeth Washburn, Lori Sokolowski, and James Pillar. Couple that with accepting and hungry schools and teachers like King-Chavez Academy of Excellence, Golden Hill K-8, Monarch School, and Chollas-Meade, and that makes for a pretty good combination of will, capacity, effort, and results.
CARE has a lot going on this year, and it's worth your while (if you are connected to schools and arts education) to look into it. In addition to our school residencies, we're working with Dr. Merryl Goldberg, a student of Howard Gardner, and Dr. Marva Cappello, a visual literacy expert, to craft a teacher institute in August 2012. Also you should go see our student art show at the San Diego International Airport in November 2011. Whether you engage in person or in spirit, always remember the importance of the arts in education, particularly for children who come from disadvantaged homes.

Two days ago, I wrote about the possibility that the regulatory systems governing the press could differ in England and Scotland in the wake of the Leveson report. Unlike broadcast media, print regulation is a devolved issue, so for Scottish papers, it is the response of Alex Salmond that matters, not David Cameron.
Two days ago, it looked like Salmond was positioning himself to back a more liberal system than the Westminster government might. He told BBC Scotland:
A lot of fears have been raised that Lord [Justice] Leveson is going to recommend state regulation of the press, and I don't think he will incidentally, and I can't see there's going to be a currency of support for that in Scotland. We value our free press far too much.

Of all the food holidays, National Cheese Ball Day is my favorite. Cheese balls are the most festive and versatile of foods in the cheese category; they're customizable, like a grilled cheese sandwich or cheesy dip, but also malleable. Can you turn your sandwich into a feathery bird that will stand up on tiny feet? No, you cannot.
To make a cheese ball, you don't really need any special equipment nor any fancy cooking skills. You can use a stand mixer to blend everything together, but you can also mash it all up in a bowl using a spatula.
Here are a few of my favorite cheese ball creations:
Spring Chick Cheese Ball: This base for this cheese ball is made from the classic blend of cream cheese, cheddar, shallots, mustard and Worcestershire. It's shaped into a stout baby chick and rolled in shredded cheese "feathers."
Beer-Pretzel Cheese Ball: It you love cheese, pretzels and beer, you'll love them even more all together. Spike a three-cheese blend with ale and roll it all in pretzels for the ultimate game day, Father's Day or "I Want Some Cheese Right Now" snack.
Nacho Jack o' Lantern Cheese Ball: It's a Jack o' Lantern but it tastes like nachos. You won't ever get that much pleasure from an ordinary carved pumpkin.
Garlic-Herb Turkey Cheese Ball: This savory little gobbler is sure to steal all the glory from that other bird. Made from cream cheese, garlic and chopped fresh herbs, complete with pretzel stick tail feathers and a red pepper waddle, this turkey is also vegetarian.
Christmas Tree Cheese Ball: This tree is about a million times more fun to decorate than the one that sits in your living room, plus it won't drop needles all over the place. To form the edible tree, wrap your cheese ball in parchment paper and roll it into a tree-shaped cone. Chopped parsley stands in for the needles and the "ornaments" are chopped peppers and pomegranate seeds.
Want more cheese ball recipes?
Our friends at Food.com are celebrating the cheese ball all week long with 25 savory and sweet ball-shaped eats.

Fairfax County Launches Pages on Facebook, MySpace and YouTube
June 6, 2008
News Highlights
- Fairfax County creates pages on three popular social networking sites
- "By establishing a presence on Facebook, MySpace and YouTube, we are expanding our communications efforts and getting our content to where the eyeballs are," said Merni Fitzgerald, director of the Office of Public Affairs.
- Social networking pages added to Get Fairfax County campaign.
More Information
In an effort to expand Fairfax County's online presence and reach a younger audience, Fairfax County recently launched pages on three of the most popular social networking Web sites: Facebook, MySpace and YouTube.
Social networking has changed the way people communicate with each other on a daily basis, especially those who fall into the Generation Y category (born between 1983 and 1997). Facebook and MySpace are social networks that are shared among "friends." YouTube is a video-sharing service that allows users to upload, view and share video clips.
"With millions of people spending hours of their time on these social networking sites, it is becoming increasingly difficult to draw people to other Web sites," said Merni Fitzgerald, director of the Office of Public Affairs. "By establishing a presence on Facebook, MySpace and YouTube, we are expanding our communications efforts and getting our content to where the eyeballs are."
The Office of Public Affairs maintains the content for these sites, which is often repurposed from existing material. For example, the video clips currently available on the county's YouTube page were produced for Fairfax County Government Channel 16. The site currently includes videos on making an emergency supply kit, becoming a police officer and signing up for the medical needs and social needs registries, among other topics.
Content on the Facebook and MySpace pages can also usually be found on the county's Web site, and photos and videos will be uploaded there as well.
The three pages have been added to the Get Fairfax County campaign, which consolidates all the ways residents can stay connected with the county. In addition to the social networking sites, information is available on 703-FAIRFAX, News to Use, e-government services, podcasts, RSS feeds, Weekly Agenda and emergency alerts.

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan State's Tom Izzo says the loss to Ohio State was his toughest in 17 seasons as a head coach.
Izzo was still somber Monday, a day after the Spartans lost to the Buckeyes and had to settle for a share of the Big Ten title. Izzo says he'll take every second of his 24-hour rule to feel pain before moving on to the next task.
The eighth-ranked Spartans will be the top-seeded team at the conference tournament in Indianapolis. They'll play the winner of the Iowa-Illinois game on Friday without a key starter.
Izzo says standout freshman Branden Dawson, who tore a ligament in his left knee in Sunday's setback to Ohio State, will need surgery and is expected to need about six months to recover.

The Panoramic River: the Hudson and the Thames - Hudson River Museum
Through May 19, 2013 - Yonkers
In the late 18th century, British artists developed the large-scale panorama, which became a popular form of entertainment in Europe and the United States. The Hudson River Museum's exhibition, "The Panoramic River: the Hudson and the Thames," explores the panoramic vista as the ideal expression for a new, all-embracing way of seeing the landscape that influenced how the public and artists perceived it as well. By the early 19th century, painters such as Robert Havell Jr. worked to express this panoramic perspective in their choice and depiction of vistas. Havell and other artists in the exhibition such as Thomas Cole, Jasper Cropsey, and John Kensett, favored the chain of cities, suburbs, and countryside along these two rivers, where horizontal planes and historical associations gave form to both artistic and cultural expression.
"The Panoramic River" features loans from museums, galleries, and private collections. Museums lending paintings include: Baltimore Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Fenimore Art Museum, The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College; Maryland State Archives; Metropolitan Museum of Art; The New-York Historical Society; and Princeton University Art Museum.
"The Panoramic River" is organized by Hudson River Museum co-curators Bartholomew Bland, Director of Curatorial Affairs, and Laura Vookles, Chief Curator of Collections. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with additional essays by Pat Hardy, Curator of Paintings, Prints and Drawings, Museum of London, and Geoff Snell, Doctoral Student, University of Sussex and the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, England.
The exhibition and the accompanying catalogue have been made possible by a generous grant from the Mr. and Mrs. Raymond J. Horowitz Foundation for the Arts, Inc. On view through May 19, 2013.

Tours - Kykuit, the Rockefeller Estate
Through November 11, 2013 - Sleepy Hollow
Kykuit, the six-story stone house and rolling hilltop estate that served as home to four generations of Rockefellers, is open to visitors beginning Saturday, May 4, through Sunday, Sep. 30, and Nov. 1-11. Open daily Oct 1-31. Kykuit's modern and classical art collection, architecture, and expansive gardens are consistently rated the top attraction in the lower Hudson Valley, and draw tens of thousands of visitors annually. Kykuit, which means "lookout" in Dutch, includes a six-story stone house, multiple terraced gardens, art galleries, outdoor classical and modern sculpture, and commanding Hudson River views. Its hilltop location overlooking the Hudson River and the Palisades is 500 feet above sea level. Visitors to Kykuit learn the story of the Rockefellers, beginning with John D. Rockefeller, founder of Standard Oil, whose business acumen made him the richest man in America in his day. He later became the country's first great philanthropist. By his death in 1937, he had given away more than half his fortune through various philanthropic programs. Visitors can choose from four tours: Classic, Grand, Timesaver, and Selected Highlights. The Classic, ideal for first-time visitors, is a shorter experience than the comprehensive, three-hour Grand. Besides the mansion, both of these tours include time in Kykuit's art galleries, gardens, and Coach Barn, with its collection of horse-drawn carriages, vintage automobiles, and equestrian equipment. The 90-minute Timesaver is ideal for those on tighter schedules, while Selected Highlights maximizes time in the gardens.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) - Goldman Sachs (GS) has spent the past few years preparing for the release of the Volcker Rule, which is due this week. The investment bank, however, continues to lean heavily on private equity investments for a significant portion of its total revenue and profit.
Goldman's private equity businesses, in addition to other alternative assets that comprise its so-called "Investing & Lending" unit, have earned nearly $3 billion in pre-tax through the first nine months of 2013 -- nearly 35% of the firm's overall pre-tax earnings -- making it the second largest contributor to the bank's profits. Investing & Lending earnings are also roughly double what Goldman Sachs has generated from its industry-leading investment banking franchise this year.
Revenues and pre-tax earnings from the unit are generated by management fees and, more importantly, investment return on its fund investments. Because Goldman has historically invested a significant amount of its own money into its private equity funds, the firm now is seeing strong earnings as pre-crisis investments are realized in today's market.
The numbers speak for themselves.
Goldman raised $28.5 billion for private equity investments in 2005 and 2007 through its GS Capital Partners corporate private equity unit, and committed $11.5 billion directly into those funds, or about 40% of their total equity. Both funds are in runoff mode and Goldman hasn't raised new money for GS Capital Partners in the wake of the financial crisis. In contrast, competitors like JPMorgan (JPM) have shed private equity assets in recent years.
Tuesday's release of the Volcker Rule included a 3% cap on any bank's investment in private equity and hedge funds relative to its Tier 1 capital, a regulation that could drastically reduce Goldman's allowable allocation to alternative assets. Currently, the unit holds $59.5 billion in overall assets, according filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Shareholders appear to understand Goldman's exposure to the Volcker Rule, and especially limitations on the firm's ability to invest directly in alternative investment funds.
In recent quarters, the bank has beaten consensus earnings-per-share estimates by as much as 30% on higher-than-expected markups to its Investing & Lending holdings, only for shares to trade lower on those results.
Nevertheless, how Goldman maintains its presence in private equity and alternative investments as the Volcker Rule kicks in will be a major story on Wall Street.
Since 1986, Goldman has invested $125 billion in direct private investments such as private equity, real estate, mezzanine financing and distressed debt. The bank was an early investor in companies as prominent as Ralph Lauren (RL), Kinder Morgan (KMI), Cobalt International Energy (CIE) and the Yankees Entertainment and Sports Network, and it has participated in some of the buyout industry's biggest deals such as TXU, Nextel and Dollar General (DG).
While Volcker will cast uncertainty over Goldman's private equity legacy, the bank has had time to prepare for the regulation and there are a few scenarios we can most likely rule out.
Goldman Sachs isn't likely to consider a spinoff or sale of its remaining private equity assets, according to a source familiar with the firm's thinking.
Instead, as Goldman's legacy GS Capital Partners investments are realized, the firm is working to maintain its presence in alternative investments such as private equity, credit and mezzanine investing, albeit in a "Volcker-compliant manner," the source said.
One scenario would be to make new private equity investments off of Goldman's balance sheet and then syndicate those deals to outside investors. In that structure, Goldman would likely seek a few large outside investors to take up to take big chunks of any deal, the source said, and the bank would also have the ability to invest its own money.
"I don't think there was anything earth shattering... There weren't really any big surprises from a PE fund perspective," the source said of the Volcker rule's final wording.
Richard Friedman, head of Goldman's merchant banking division, said at a 2012 investor conference the firm would likely cut the size of its overall private equity investments by 50%. He added that Goldman would likely invest on a "deal by deal basis" and cited Goldman's $1.1 billion buyout of Interline Brands in May 2012 as a possible template.
Goldman Sachs declined to comment. Reuters reported on Goldman's post-Volcker private equity plans in March.
"Goldman can create a special purpose vehicle used to invest in private equity on behalf of clients. Then it can transact derivatives to minimize market and credit risk of those investments; those derivatives could be construed as a hedge for clients. If it is good at documenting that this SPV is segregated from any insured depository accounts, then it will have a good chance of skirting Volcker," Mayra Rodriguez Valladares, managing principal of MRV Associates said in a Thursday interview.
"It is key to remember that Goldman is still very much a broker dealer with very little FDIC insured bank units. The real concern should be JPMorgan, Citigroup, and Bank of America, not Goldman or Morgan Stanley," Valladares added.

The (competents of) battle will abandon its load (arms and equipment). (Sunan Ibn Majah, 10/334)
Earth will be filled with peace, just as a bowl is filled with water. No enmity will remain between anyone. All enmity, conflict, and disagreement will surely vanish. (Sahih Muslim, 1/136)
(The competents of) War will abandon its load (namely, arms and the like). (Al-Sharani, Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 496)
He will do away with enmity and hatred. The venom will be removed from poisonous animals. Even a small boy will place his hand in a serpent's mouth, and the serpent will not harm him. The wolf will be like a dog in a herd of sheep or goats. (Sunan Ibn Majah, p. 331-35)
In his time, the wolf will play with the sheep and snakes will not harm children. A person will sow a handful of seed and will receive back 700 handfuls of grain. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 43)
