2000 Ver6 STi Type-R
Well, my friend, looks like we're both doing the same swap around the same time =) I just left Japan after 5 years and could not part with my Version 6 Type R. So I did what any hard core Subie gearhead would do, I stripped it and shipped it back stateside in pieces. Parts wise, I think we're about the same other than I cut the firewall just ahead of the shock towers. I have all the important stuff from the front of the car. I only left half of the bare shell in Japan.
All of my goodies arrived two weeks ago. Just about everything survived with only a couple minor scratches. If you want to check out my car, I'm on the "other board", same nick as here.
My donor is a 98' 2.2 "L" coupe. I didn't want a sunroof as the Type R was never offered with one so the RS was not an option. My Version 6 was Blue Ridge Pearl, however I am changing it over to Steel Blue Mica (only offered on the Version 5).
I'd be interested in swapping notes with you. Couple things I've noticed and you've probably figured out by now... The firewall is the same however there is a secondary skin on the inside that is RHD specific. You can drill out the spot welds on the donor and on your USDM chassis and fit the RHD specific skin. That way you're not disturbing the integrity of the OEM firewall. As for the extra holes, I'm going to MIG new sheetmetal behind the holes than use body filler on the engine bay side to smooth the firewall.
You'll need to drill out the spots for the main dash support. I think it has 4 or so spots and weld that on to your USDM chassis. As for the wipers, you'll need to swap the center wiper support over to the left of center (referenced from the driver's seat). It can be done but it's going to suck.
I pulled mine apart and I've owned it for the last 4 years or so. I know most of this car, so if you have any questions, I can try to help you. I also have the Subaru FAST software if you need part numbers. It's in Japanese but I can show you how to navigate it. It's a great resource as you can usually supply your JDM part number to subaruparts.com and they can order what you need. Drop me a PM with an E-mail address and I'll shoot the software your way. I'm excited to find another GC guy as nutty as me =)
P.S. The timing belt sticker comes with every new T-belt (in Japan). Yours means: Timing belt changed at 72,476 km on February 28th of Heisei 20 (2008).

SANTIAGO, Oct 9 (Reuters) - LATAM Airlines , Latin America's largest airline, reported a 2.6 percent rise in passenger traffic in September compared with a year ago, while capacity also increased.
Load factor - a measure of how full planes are - increased 1.3 percentage points to 84.3 percent. The company, which was formed in 2012 in a tie-up between Chile's LAN and Brazil's TAM, has been cutting routes to fly fuller planes and shore up operating margins.
The increase in passenger traffic and load factor was driven by its domestic and international non-Brazilian operations, the traffic data showed. In Brazil, traffic fell 1.4 percent year-on-year and load factor slipped 1.6 percentage points. (Reporting by Rosalba O'Brien; Editing by W Simon)

Black Worbla - Quarter sheet - 29.5"x19.5"
Worbla's Black Art is a thermoplastic that softens at 90°C (195°F) into a moldable material. It is also self-adhesive, so pieces stick together, and has the potential for no waste since all scraps can be reused! Anything you can make with Worbla you can make with Worbla Black – except Worbla Black is smoother, so less priming and sanding before you paint. It can also take much finer detail for all you sculptors out there. It is also made of entirely of plastic - no filler!
Worbla Black has more strength, especially when stretched over complex curves, is less tacky, but it is still 100% recyclable.
Sold in four sizes to meet any cosplay need - please be sure to choose the right size for your project! (Note: some edges of each piece may be slightly perforated due to the cutting process.)
Shipping disclaimer - Worbla can only be shipped separately from other orders and via UPS due to its size and weight.
Free Shipping on Worbla in the contiguous 48 United States!
**Alaska & Hawaii Customers!!**
Any single or partial sheets of Worbla or Thibra cannot be shipped for free to Alaska or Hawaii. Your order will be held and a $20 surcharge collected after purchase on any order containing only a single or partial sheet. HOWEVER! The $20 surcharge will be waived if you purchase 2 or more full sheets of Worbla or Thibra!
Unfortunately, Worbla cannot be shipped outside of the US at this time.

Living big is living a life that is exciting and fulfilling. It is living boldly. It is living with love as a driver. It is living aligned with your true purpose. It is living without fear and with a sure compass. It's living with ready access to the bounty in both sides of your brain, with creative flow operating in every dimension of your life.
Too many amazing women live small — smaller than their potential, and smaller than their dreams. For many women, life is limited in ways that they sense, or know, or yearn to figure out.
Are you yearning to make a change to a new career? Thinking about going back to study something new? Are you looking for work? Do you want to embark on an "encore career" after years in one field? Are you burned out? Are you over-worked and stress out? Are you looking ahead to retirement and unsure about how you want to find fulfillment in that phase of your life? Are you facing a challenge like becoming an "empty nester"? Are you making a transition like a move to a new city? Are you dealing with grief? Do you want more excitement and happiness in your day-to-day life?
If you face challenges or opportunities like any of these scenarios, you may feel stuck or anxious. I can guide you to unleash the creative potential that resides within you. You can experience the thrill of creating through art, music, poetry, dance, cooking, and more. And, you can learn to create each next step in your life.
The scope of creativity is vast, and when you learn to employ it fully, you will be able to take on the changes you yearn to make — and make the most of all of all the possibilities in your life.
You can learn to live big. I would be honored to teach you how.

Lectures are mostly in the form of online video modules. There is a recitation session between 14:15 - 16:00 on Tuesdays and a plenary session between 13:15 - 15:00 on Thursdays, both in INM10. On the first Tuesday, there will be a special plenary session at 12:15 in INF3, required for all students.
Prof. Katerina Argyraki (BC-120, x3-8132)
Prof. Ed Bugnion (INN-311, x3-4707)
Prof. George Candea (INN-330, x3-4648)

Reading Materials
Flipped Classroom and Communication
This year, we will use edX as our flipped classroom platform. In a flipped classroom, non-interactive activities (e.g., viewing lectures) are available via an online platform and investing the in-class time into interactive learning. The video lecture modules and readings are to be viewed/done outside class.
edX is also used as a communication forum. It allows you to ask/answer questions privately (to the class).
A typical week starts with reading the textbook, watching the online video modules, and then reading the assigned research papers. Tuesday's recitations take place in a small-group setting—they start with a student presenting the assigned research papers to his/her peers, then followed by a discussion of the principles and reading materials. The goal is to understand the connection between the principles covered in lecture and their concrete instantiation in the research papers. Students must have read the papers and come to class prepared to discuss/explain them to the others—just listening to the student presentation will not be nearly enough to be able to participate in the discussion.
We encourage discussions in the edX forum on all topics that are not designated as individual work. Having acquired the theory behind the principles (in lecture) and the practice (in recitation), students are ready to participate in the debate session, which consists of interactive group debates and exercises focused on solving systems problems posed by the instructors.
Grading, Credits, and Prerequisites
The final grade will be determined as follows:
We expect the students to actively participate in discussions during the plenary sessions. Instructors will grade the students in the plenary based on their participation.
POCS is a heavyweight course carrying 7 units of ECTS credit (according to the Conférence universitaire suisse, this means 210 learning hours/semester, i.e., 15 hours/week). This course is meant primarily for students who intend to pursue research in the area of systems, therefore you must have a solid systems background. One way to acquire this background is, for example, by taking the following:
Without a solid systems background, it is hard to succeed in POCS. If you wish to brave it out despite an incomplete background, please be ready to spend at least 2x more time than the other students in order to acquire, on the side, the necessary background on your own.
Collaboration PolicyYou are encouraged to discuss the reading materials with your peers, but every assignment you turn in must be your own work. You are not permitted to discuss the topic of the OP with other students. Collaboration can also take the form of discussion on edX, visible to the entire class. We encourage you to answer questions, and such active participation will be rewarded. Cheating, plagiarism, and any form of dishonesty will be handled with maximum severity. If you are ever in doubt about whether an action on your part may constitute unacceptable collaboration, please ask the course staff before proceeding—doing so afterward is too late.

This is the third article in a series of blogs discussing individually each of the 12 Keys For Successful Enterprise Projects, published in my blog on Tuesday, June 26, 2012.
Defining business requirements is the most important and usually the least well performed activity in the systems development lifecycle. Business requirements can be defined as "What needs to be delivered to provide value." Business requirements achieve value by meeting business objectives. Business requirements define what as opposed to how.
Many people and many business analysts confuse the terms business, user, and system requirements. Many even think they are the same; clearly, they are not!!! Business requirements state in business language the business results that must be delivered to resolve the problem documented in the problem statement. Business requirements reflect the needs of the business, and in so doing they define the scope for the proposed solution.
User requirements reflect what the users need to perform their work. User requirements are often expressed in terms of stories and scenarios expressed from the perspective of a user. Often a persona is defined which provides details of a fictional person representing a class of user. An impact statement is prepared which shows how the proposed solution will impact the user. Scenarios or stories are defined to explain how the user will interact with the proposed solution.
System requirements, which are sometimes called requirement specifications, describe the high level design for the solution, which was chosen to deliver the business requirements. A business analyst generally prepares system requirements. They need to be clear, concise, and testable. These system requirements are the communications vehicle used by IT in building and implementing an application to respond to business needs.
Enfocus Requirements SuiteTM places a great deal of emphasis on each of these components of system requirements, and provides the tools and supporting materials to get them right.

Suffolk-based digital marketing agency Itineris won Silver at this year's W3 Awards, in the Charity and Not for Profit category.
The agency scooped the award for their work on the brand new website for Toybox; a Christian charity committed to helping street living and street working children and those at risk of becoming so, principally in Latin America. The site design focused on the life stories of the street children with emotive imagery and quotes throughout.
The site was split into distinct areas; Street Children for facts and location details, Give for donors for instant donations, Get Involved for fundraising, volunteering, events and sponsored challenges, Pray, About for annual reports, policies, staff profiles and jobs and Contact for contact details.
The W³ annual awards are hosted by the International Academy of the Visual Arts, a world-wide organization made up of leaders in various art disciplines including traditional and interactive media. The Awards honour creative excellence on the web, and recognize the creative and marketing professionals behind award winning sites, videos and marketing programs.

Toronto: Men look at negative emotions with a more "passive" point of view while women tend to focus more on feelings – thus suffering more from depression and anxiety than men, a new study has found.
This happens because of subtle differences in brain function that is different in both genders.
"A stronger connection between brain areas in men suggests they have a more analytical than emotional approach when dealing with negative emotions," said Stephane Potvin, associate professor at University of Montreal's department of psychiatry.
"It is possible that women tend to focus more on the feelings generated by brain stimuli while men remain somewhat 'passive' toward negative emotions, trying to analyse the stimuli and their impact," he explained.
Potvin and Adrianna Mendrek, lead researcher from the Institut universitaire en santé mentale de Montréa, observed that certain areas of the brains in women and men that deal with emotions react differently when exposed to negative images.
For the study, 46 healthy participants – including 25 women – viewed images and said whether these evoked positive, negative or neutral emotions.
At the same time, their brain activity was measured by brain imaging.
The researchers found that subjective ratings of negative images were higher in women compared to men.
Higher testosterone levels were linked to lower sensitivity while higher feminine traits were linked to higher sensitivity.
"Greater emotional reactivity in women may explain many things, such as their being twice as likely to suffer from depression and anxiety disorders compared to men," Mendrek added.
"We will now look at how the brains of men and women react depending on the type of negative emotion (fear, sadness, anger) and the role of the menstrual cycle in this reaction," the authors noted in a paper published in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology.

New Version of Innovative Actors App Makes Memorizing Lines Even Faster and Easier(July 29, 2011)
Norwalk, CT (PRWEB) July 29, 2011
An actor emerges from the wings in darkness and walks to the edge of the stage. Looking out over the hushed audience, pulse pounding, one thought races through the actors mind, What is my first line?!
During the last nine months, customers of the Scene Partner® App have had a new weapon to fight this universal actors fear. Now that new weapon has new features. MyTheaterApps.com, a developer of mobile applications for the theater community, has announced the release of a new version of Scene Partner, its award winning app for actors. Scene Partner 1.5 will sport a new look that is designed specifically for the iPad, along with 17 new text-to-speech voices that customers can purchase for use with the app. The new version was formally announced at the American Alliance for Theatre & Educations Annual Conference in Chicago.
J. Kevin Smith, owner of MyTheaterApps.com and the developer of Scene Partner, has been acting for 30 years. Ive been there and done that. he says. Nothing is more frightening on stage than forgetting your lines. Ive been bailed out by my fellow actors and Ive bailed them out in return. Its what we do. Ive seen just about every situation that you can think of. Ive even seen an actor forget when they were supposed to exit. How do you forget when youre supposed to exit?!
While no solution can guarantee you wont ever forget your lines, Scene Partner gives actors a tool that they can use if they are aural learners who learn how to memorize lines by listening to them over and over, or visual learners who focus on the written text. Actors can now download the new version of Scene Partner from Apples AppStore. There is a free version, Scene Partner Lite and a full version, Scene Partner, which can be downloaded for only $4.99. Current customers can update their existing version to Scene Partner 1.5 for free and use it across all of their Apple mobile devices.

About MyTheaterApps.com:
MyTheaterApps.com is the developer of Scene Partner, an award winning App for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch that helps actors learn their lines. It merges text to speech software from the Acapela Group, voice recording and advanced algorithms to provide a unique and innovative tool for actors. It was released in early November 2010. Within the first week, Apple listed it as "New and Noteworthy" on the App Store, The Wall Street Journal ran a story about the app in its App Watch section, and Tom Cruise, the American Theater Wing (producers of the Tony Awards) and the Public Theater in NYC all tweeted about Scene Partner to their followers.

Product Overview
The I-BEAM tread design is designed for traditional tracks with a little bit of loose dirt. The larger lugs allow the tire to dig deep for maximum traction when it is needed the most. The center cross split bars give good forward bite and when used on the rear allow the car to rotate better in the turns when this is desired. The new EVO Truggy tires feature the new ROAR legal 1:8 Truggy bead design and a redesigned carcass shape that includes internal ribbing. The new bead design mimics the 1:8 buggy bead design which will make for easier assembly and a stronger bond between the wheel and the tire. The carcass shape has been refined to take advantage of the new bead design. Internal ribbing has been added to minimize tire growth at high RPM and support the tire contact patch during cornering. All this adds up to much improved handling and lower lap times.
- Tread Performance - Each tire tread is computer designed and track tested by AKA engineers Gil Losi, Mark Pavidis and team drivers to ensure the best performance before each tire goes into production.
- Lifespan: The long life of the AKA tires is due to the collective decades of rubber compound development Gil Losi brings to the table. In fact, Mark and Gil have been responsible for developing some of the most successful tires in off-road racing for a generation. Each compound is tested in labs then rigorously track tested to ensure the highest quality.
- Balance: Like AKA inserts and wheels, tire balance is critical to superior performance and it''s a priority in AKA tires. Mold components are manufactured to the highest tolerances to ensure the best possible alignment of all the mold components. This results in a tire with more uniform thickness for the best possible balance.
- Mold Accuracy: AKA tire molds are made in the U.S.A. using the most advance mold-making techniques and processes available. The cost is higher to produce such a precision mold, but its part of an uncompromising desire to deliver the highest quality product available.
- Assembly Quality: AKA Pre-Mounts are all hand assembled using AKA Premium tire glue and are double checked for adhesion quality. There is no doubt we have the best pre-mounts in the industry.

Jack posts and other types of steel columns provide sturdy basement support for your house's floor beams. But if you plan to finish your basement and turn it into living area, these steel columns are unsightly. You could paint them, but a better approach is to conceal them within a drywall or paneled wood box.
Things You'll Need
- Framing square
- Tape measure
- Marking pencil
- Circular or table saw
- Nails
- Construction adhesive
- 2-by-3-inch framing lumber
- Drywall or wooden paneling
- Corner bead or trim
- Paint or clear wood finish
- Plumb level
- Basic building tools
Concealing Trim for Jack Posts
Use your framing square on the floor to lay out the framing for the box around the column. Ensure that the box will be perfectly square to the room. Mark the floor. Use the tape measure to measure the height the box will be. Use your saw to cut four pieces of 2-by-3 framing lumber to the correct length to form the top and bottom of two side walls. Cut four more 2-by-3s to the correct length for the sides of the walls. Fasten the tops, bottoms and sides together with nails to form two walls of the box.
Erect the two walls, placing them on opposite sides of the post. Use the square and the plumb level to ensure the walls are square and plumb. Use construction adhesive to secure the bottom of the walls to the floor. Nail the tops to the beam above. Fill in the space between the two walls with 2-by-3 blocking at top, bottom and middle to form the third and fourth walls. Nail the pieces into place.
Measure the height and width of the frame's sides. Use your saw to cut pieces of drywall or wood paneling to size and nail them to the sides of the frame. Use drywall corner bead or paneling corner trim to finish the corners. Optionally, you can enhance your box by installing trim molding at the top and bottom. Complete the box by painting it or applying clear wood finish.

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
Thank you for using Just Answer. I look forward to helping you.First of all, I'm very sorry to hear what happened. You definitely should have been told the significance of pleading guilty and the impact it would have so that you could make an informed decision. You don't say how long ago this was, but normally, you only have a very, very short period of time to file a motion to set aside a guilty plea -state laws vary but it's typically between 30-60 days. That doesn't mean a court will accept it (it's very difficult to set aside a plea once entered) just how long you have. The same is true of trying to appeal a finding of guilty. After that, the decision is considered final and binding.I realize this isn't what you wanted to hear, and I am sorry, but I can only tell you the law. At this point, you may wish to look into filing a pardon based on innocence.Though Alabama does not offer an expungement process to its rehabilitated offenders, you may have another option for a better life through a pardon by the Board of Pardons and Paroles. A pardon does not offer the same benefit as an expungement, which essentially makes your criminal record nonexistent except for in specific circumstances, but it does offer the chance to prove your rehabilitation as well as get some of your rights back.
Obtaining a pardon requires an application, generally involving a statement from you and others showing your rehabilitation, and a subsequent hearing with the board. If you are granted a pardon, you may regain certain rights – like the right to vote or hold public office.
Once a request is received, it will be assigned to a probation officer for the completion of an investigation. The investigation will include current information on the your home situation, job status, and an updated criminal arrest record, written references and other information as warranted. Once the investigation is complete, a hearing will be set before the Parole Board. Required notification will be sent to the victim, certain officials in the jurisdiction of the conviction, and you. Once all required parties are notified, a hearing will be held before the Parole Board and a decision will be made to grant or deny the pardon request.
A request for a pardon can be made by writing the Board of Pardons and Paroles at P O Box 302405, Montgomery AL###-##-#### The request should include all of the following information:

Two Republican House members, both former prosecutors, said at a Capitol Hill hearing Thursday that White House immigration policies are contributing to low morale at Homeland Security.
The comments came as Reps. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina and Ken Buck of Colorado questioned federal officials at a House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Government Operations hearing titled "The Worst Places to Work in the Federal Government." Lawmakers were going over the results of a recent federal employee survey that ranked worker satisfaction at all government agencies. Homeland Security, with 240,000 employees, ranked last, 19th out of 19, in the category of largest federal agencies.
Buck asked Catherine Emerson, the chief human capital officer for the agency, if administration policies that require law enforcement professionals to ignore immigration law contributes to low morale.
"I have worked with a number of immigration agents," said Buck, a former Weld County district attorney, "and they feel like they are a racehorse that is being kept in the stable. They never get out to engage."
Gowdy, himself a former district attorney and federal prosecutor, echoed the Colorado freshman's comments.
"I can tell you every time I go home, and I talk to the women and men who are still in law enforcement, nothing would diminish their morale quite like being asked to do the opposite of what they signed up to do."
Republicans have argued since the president announced late last year his executive actions on immigration — including the deferment of deportations of illegal immigrants — that the White House actions are an unconstitutional.
Democrats have defended the president's action as a necessary and inevitable response to Congress' inability to move legislation addressing the nation's broken immigration system.
The president's point man on immigration, Homeland Security Director Jeh Johnson, did not appear before the subcommittee, but the hearing's provocative title apparently caught his eye, and he was on Capital Hill Thursday meeting with lawmakers on the morale issue.
"When I see subcommittee hearings entitled 'Worst Places to Work,' at which one of my people is called as a witness, I want to personally get in there and say we are on an aggressive campaign to improve morale," the secretary told Politico .

It's been confirmed that a new character, Roy Stark, is heading our way in Season 4. Just in case you haven't checked out his page, all we know is that "he was a former army medic in the Military who is haunted by his past. He is lonely and self-depreciating but puts on a confident face for the public, while his self-deprecating public persona masks some seriously major personal demons".
The article said he will be a regular, but I doubt they would introduce a new character immediatly as a series regular so he will likely be a recurring character. Also based from his description, some people have theorized he will be the counterpart of either Abraham, or Bob Stookey. I think that Stark will be one of the Woodbury characters that moved to the Prison. Then again, it's also possibly that Stark is a leader of a group that gets recruited by The Governor to take out the Prison.
I think it would be interesting if we saw elements of Post-Prison characters in the Woodbury defects. I also think that Stokes will be in the Prison, but once again just another theory :D
In terms of appearance, I think it would be natural to assume Stark is an older man based on the fact that he didn't participate in the assaults. Or maybe Roy isn't even from Woodbury, and Rick finds his character somewhere else. Anyways guys, sound off below with your speculations and theories!
Also speaking of Woodbury defects, it would also really be cool to see Robbie at the Prison helping the group manage their food (planting crops with Hershel and his family, aiding Glenn in supply runs, and possibly even farming animal).

Georgia Cornbread Cake
Recipe by Barb G.
This recipe comes courtesy of a 86 year old lady that has been cooking since she was 9 years old. The recipe has been in her family for many years. The ground pecans gives it a texture of cornbread, but there isn't any cornmeal in it. This cake is perfect for potlucks or to pack in lunchboxes.
Top Review by Babes_Mom
A cousin made this for a family reunion recently. She called her recipe "Georgia Cornbread', too. It was delicious... slightly sweet and different from any cake I'd ever had. She put walnuts in hers instead of the pecans, and dusted the top with powdered sugar. I'll be making it myself the next time we have a family get-together.

Tom and Giovanna Fletcher's baby due in February
Tom and Giovanna Fletcher's new baby is due next February.
The married couple - who already have 17-month-old son Buzz Michelangelo together - announced last week they were going to become parents again and now Giovanna has revealed she is approximately four months pregnant and will welcome the tot into the world early in 2016.
Speaking on breakfast TV show 'Lorraine', Giovanna revealed: "(Baby is due) in February, everything is absolutely fine."
Tom and Giovanna revealed their happy news by posting a unique video on the McBusted star's YouTube account for the world to see.
The video began by showing Tom searching for his Sega Mega Drive games console in the attic, which he finds and brings downstairs for himself, Giovanna and Buzz to play.
Handing his son a controller, Buzz picks to be Player One whilst Giovanna picks Player Two, which is marked with a graphic of a question mark.
The camera then pans down to reveal a baby scan placed in front of her stomach.
Giovanna and Tom announced their first pregnancy in October 2013 with a Halloween-inspired video in which they carved the words "We're having a baby" into jackal lanterns, and the singer also made a black and white video documenting every stage of his wife's first pregnancy which he shared online.
Giovanna admits the reason why they create the videos documenting the growth of their family is because they're so much fun to make.
The brunette beauty - who will be hosting a new segment on 'Lorraine' entitled 'Take Five' to encourage busy mums to make time for themselves - said: "(Doing the video) was amazing, that's the only reason that we do them because they're so much fun to do - if they were a chore I think we just wouldn't bother."

Item Discontinued
Me during 8th grade. The journaling reads: 1995-1996 was a good year. My friends were Ashley James, Zack Rice, and Tammy Smith. I was a class officer. I was voted Most Academic, Ashley and I were competing for valedictorian at our graduation. I had a crush on the popular senior boy that everyone liked. I played basketball and loved it. The only fight I almost got into during the year was avoided by my quick wit and everyone watching. I felt like I was on top of the world in 8th grade.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a lawsuit today to prevent AT&T from acquiring T-Mobile. AT&T is the largest provider of mobile and fixed phone services in the U.S., and T-Mobile is among the top mobile phone service providers in the world.
The DOJ said in a press release today that "the proposed $39 billion transaction would substantially lessen competition for mobile wireless telecommunications services across the United States, resulting in higher prices, poorer quality services, fewer choices and fewer innovative products for the millions of American consumers who rely on mobile wireless services in their everyday lives."
At time of publication of this article, neither company has yet to release statements on the DOJ's decision to sue.

|More credible than Caren Matzner's "The bounds of free speech"
GA applauds this comment by 'Anonymoud' posted below The FrankenMatzner monster:
Caren - civil cases do not have victims and perps. They have plaintiffs and defendants. And Mr. Bajardi was not deemed a public figure because he was a simple "activist." Of course the scope and nature of Bajardi's public activities. as well as his behind the scenes role has always been well known to you so your mis characterization both of the Bajardi's role and the nature of the Court's ruling is pretty clearly not just an innocent mistake.
Why does your coverage consistently and intentionally fail to accurately portray mr. Bajardi's role in hoboken's political and Internet scene despite your awareness of the facts?
This litigation was not some groundbreaking first amendment case about how much nastiness directed toward a poor innocent Hoboken couple" by evil bloggers is "too much." It was about a local political operative with a history of using the Internet as a political weapon misusing the courts by filing a frivolous defamation suit that was thrown out in mid trial because of the complete lack of evidence.
Not only did the plaintiff fail to adduce any evidence of damages or malice, he couldn't even show the comments he sued over weren't true perhaps because in large part they in fact were true. He was very much an important senior member of Mrs. mason's political team carrying out political operations on her behalf and his possession of apparently stolen e-mails makes it clear to me that if he wasn't interviewed by the FBI in the e-mail theft investigation he certainly should have been.
I've heard that the e-mails obtained in discovery cast a great deal of light on Mr. Bajardi's involvement with the media including not just Hoboken411 but with Hoboken Patch and the Hoboken Reporter as well.
Perhaps if those e-mails are made public your misleading editorial choices will be easier to understand. I for one am anxiously awaiting their publication.

The Kent State men's basketball team emerged from a 40-minute slugfest with two-time defending Mid-American Conference Tournament champion Buffalo, holding off a late charge to earn a 68-65 victory in their quarterfinal clash at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.
The No. 6 seed Golden Flashes (20-13) will make their first appearance in the MAC tourney semifinals since 2013 tonight, when they meet second-seeded Ohio (20-10) at 8 p.m.
Flashes senior forward Jimmy Hall finished with 24 points and eight rebounds, and hit two clutch free throws with 12.9 seconds left to give his team a three-point lead. Kent State's defense then forced the Bulls (17-15) to take a desperation 3 at the buzzer that was not close.
The contest featured 56 personal fouls. The Flashes' second- and third-leading scorers this season, sophomore guard Jaylin Walker (12 points) and senior wing Deon Edwin (14 points, 11 rebounds), fouled out in the closing minutes. Three Bulls were also disqualified due to fouls, including leading scorer Blake Hamilton (17 points) and leading rebounder Nick Perkins (11 points, 8 rebounds).
Free throws proved to the the difference, as Kent State made 29-of-41 charity tosses while Buffalo shot 24-of-34 from the stripe.
The Flashes kept the long and athletic Bulls out of transition by committing just 12 turnovers while forcing 13, and made it a halfcourt game that their defense dominated. Kent State sophomore center Adonis De La Rosa took four charges, and Buffalo shot 35 percent from the field.

By HAROLD M. SCHMECK Jr.
Published: September 17, 1985
MEDICAL specialists who study human violence are becoming more confident that by sophisticated studies of brain function they can predict repeated violent crimes by people who have committed one or more aggressive acts.
In the past such prediction has been seriously flawed, with people sometimes killing soon after being released from prisons or psychiatric hospitals where they had been held for previous acts of violence.
''I would submit to you that we can predict human aggressive behavior 90 percent of the time,'' said Dr. Alan Gruber, director of neuropsychology at the Center for Memory Impairment and Neurobehavioral Disorders, Boston, at a recent symposium, ''Predicting Dangerousness.'' The predictions are based on detailed medical and psychological testing that has become much more sophisticated in recent years.
Abnormalities in Brain Function Are Revealed
Patients of types he used to think of as reflecting purely social and cultural disadvantages, Dr. Gruber said, now often reveal abnormalities in brain function. A problem today, he told the symposium audience, is that specialists are not looking for the biological evidence.
''And when you don't look, you obviously don't find,'' he said. ''We know much more about the prediction of human behavior than we are allowing ourselves to make known.''
Another speaker, Dr. Frank Elliot, of Philadelphia, who described exhaustive studies of 321 excessively violent individuals, said more than 90 percent showed evidence of brain dysfunction and neurological defects.
''This was a great surprise to me,'' he said. ''I had expected 20 percent, maybe.'' Dr. Elliot, emeritus professor of neurology at the University of Pennsylvania, is presently doing research on the biological factors in human violence.
He said ordinary examination of patients and such tests as the electroencephalogram cannot be relied on to find the subtle but important biological evidence.
''We have been looking at abnormal brains for a generation, and calling them normal,'' he said.
The symposium in Philadelphia Friday was one of the final sessions of the Fourth World Congress of Biological Psychiatry. The speakers included several who have made long studies of the brain function of excessively violent people. In contrast, one speaker, Dr. Marvin E. Wolfgang of the University of Pennsylvania, a sociologist and criminologist, reported a massive study of juvenile crime that emphasized the social and environmental aspects of the problem.
Issue of Predicting Violent Behavior Stirs Debate
The issue of predicting criminally violent behavior has long been controversial. People concerned with civil rights are highly suspicious of any efforts to pigeonhole people with supposed tendencies to violence or other antisocial patterns of behavior. Lives and careers can be blasted all too easily by faulty diagnoses that unjustly label people as dangerous or likely to be criminal.
The symposium chairman, Dr. Vernon H. Mark, director of neurosurgery of Boston City Hospital, said the American Psychiatric Association has disavowed any special expertise among its members in predicting human dangerousness. Nevertheless, he said, issues of life and death are sometimes decided in court on the question of whether or not a defendant is likely to continue to be a threat to others.
Many scholars who have studied the issue note the vast importance of social and cultural deprivation in generating crime and violence, and are suspicious of attempts to explain violence in terms that leave such cultural factors out of the equation.
Indeed, Dr. Gruber and others who testified to the importance of brain problems in violent people emphasized that cultural and social issues are also important.
The issues are further complicated by the fact that violence is an inescapable feature of life and that some kinds of violence - self defense or defense of a child, for example -are almost universally condoned. Sometimes it is difficult to determine whether an act of violence is of a socially defensible kind, particularly since the definitions may differ among different social groups. For example, terrorist acts are condoned by some people under some circumstances.
In his discussion of crime patterns in the young, Dr. Wolfgang said the clearest single predictor of chronic criminality among the youths whose records he studied was that the individual had himself been the victim of violence. Other common factors were low socio-economic status, low intelligence as measured by IQ test and unstable home life.
One of two related studies that he described followed the life histories through the age of 18 of about 10,000 boys born in 1945 who lived in Philadelphia at least from the ages of 10 through 18. Most of them had been born and raised in the city.
He and his colleagues in the study were surprised to find that 35 percent of the boys had been arrested at least once by the age of 18. This number was far higher than they had expected, Dr. Wolfgang said, but a second study, of about 13,000 boys born in 1958, bore it out, finding that 33 percent of the later group had been arrested at least once by the same age.

ooba welcomes latest interest rate cut
ooba (formerly MortgageSA) welcomed today's interest rate cut of 1% announced today by the South African Reserve Bank.
The latest 1% cut in interest rates will save home owners an additional R710 a month on a R1m home loan over a 20 year period.
"The decision by the Reserve Bank to cut interest rates by one percent today is likely to be a key trigger for homebuyers," says Saul Geffen, chief executive of ooba (formerly MortgageSA).
The South African property market has experienced a marked slow-down from the beginning of 2008 due to a combination of factors including high interest rates, the introduction of the National Credit Act and tighter lending policies by the banks.
"We are hoping that banks will soon begin to relax their restrictive lending policies and this, coupled with home owners improved affordability, should begin to revive the property market," notes Geffen.
Recently ooba forecasted that the current low level of activity in the property market and negative property price growth with continue until mid 2009.
"However, the drastic interest rate cuts are expected to stimulate the property market in the short term and we expect to see house prices stabilise and move into positive territory by the first quarter of next year," concludes Geffen.
Bond amount: R350,000 R savings per month with 1% interest rate cut : R248
Bond amount : R500,000 R savings per month with 1% interest rate cut : R355
Bond amount : R1,000,000 R savings per month with 1% interest rate cut : R710
The latest oobarometer stats reveal that the average purchase price growth among first-time buyers remains strong at 12.1% in June. This, together with the continued easing in lending criteria, is good news for potential homebuyers in South Africa.
With the property market beginning to show signs of a recovery, it is more important than ever to ensure your home is correctly priced. Jenny Rushin, property finance manager at ooba, SA's leading mortgage originator, said that a property listed at the right price will give sellers the greatest chance of attracting buyers.
South African banks have loosened their lending criteria which has supported a revival in the property market and helped new buyers enter the market says South Africa's leading mortgage originator, ooba.
South Africa's leading bond origination company, ooba, has seen a 55% increase in the value of approved loans from April to September this year, with a 21% surge from August to September alone.
With house price indicators like the oobarometer perking up, smart buyers are slowly returning to the market and need to be armed with how to make the best purchase possible. Ben Seymour-Brown, manager of group direct sales at ooba, said: "We expect more people to return to the property market this year and certainly next as the economy recovers, the effect of lower interest rates is felt and confidence returns to bricks and mortar investment.

This is our dream home and this is really a dream come true for us!! Thanks a lot for your help and quick responses. It has really been a great experience working with ooba.
I am thankful for the wonderful manner in which you assisted me with my insurance. You are an amazing asset to ooba.
I was told by 5 people that I should go through Yvonne Viljoen. She managed to get me what I wanted from the bank. She was thorough, fast, efficient and ahead of the schedule. Because of this experience I will recommend ooba and Yvonne and I can say that I cannot relate to other people's disappointment when buying a home.
I tried ooba despite not knowing anybody that has gone through a bond originator. The process isn't over yet, but so far it is the best decision I've made. Efficient, amazing service. You always know what is going on and guided me through the entire process.
"Thank you ever so much for this. You are totally on the ball and your service is appreciated - it's rare nowadays."
"Thanks to ooba for their great service, I will definitely recommend you."
"Thank you for promptly sorting out the issues we have been having."
"You are a very professional person to deal with. Thank you for your efficient and excellent service."
"Baie dankie vir jou vriendelikheid."
"ooba is really going out of their way to assist us here."

Ronaldinho eyes Prem move
Barcelona playmaker Ronaldinho has admitted he would 'love' to play in the Premier League.
By James Dall
Last Updated: 22/06/08 9:39pm
Barcelona playmaker Ronaldinho has admitted he would 'love' to play in the Premier League.
Ronaldinho is expected to leave Camp Nou this summer as new manager Pep Guardiola looks to reshape his squad for next season.
Manchester City have already been granted permission to open talks with the forward while Chelsea have also been linked with a move following former Brazil manager Luiz Felipe Scolari's appointment.
And Ronaldinho has hinted a move to England could well materialise after expressing his admiration for the Premier League.
"Every player would love to play in such a competitive championship like the English league," Ronaldinho told Globo TV.
"I'm happy because almost all the teams want me to play for them."
On the rumours linking him with a reunion with Scolari at Stamford Bridge, he added: "I'm very happy for him (Scolari). I admire him a lot and I hope he can make all his dreams come true. I wish him well."
The two-time Fifa World Player of the Year also discussed his struggle for form with Barca last term.
The 28-year-old explained: "When a lot of problems come together, the whole team is not well and players find it difficult to shine.
World's best
"I'm as upset as my team-mates for not playing well. The lack of titles let us down even more.
"Now I am recovered. Everything is perfect and I've started a new stage in my rehabilitation.
"I want to profit from these holidays to return as soon as possible to achieve my dreams of becoming the world's best player and playing in the world's best team."

'Let's Move, Nessacus!' puts their best foot forward
DALTON >> For the fifth year in a row, Nessacus Regional Middle School staff and students put their best feet forward to raise money for student programs, activities and field trips.
"Let's Move, Nessacus," is a campaign to students to collect pledges from family members, neighbors and friends while students themselves pledge to run or walk a certain number of laps on school grounds.
Mary Jo Erickson Connor, the school nurse who helps the PTO coordinate the event, calls it a "win-win" program.
"It's a visible event and nearly everyone who is able takes part in it. We get to keep all the profits for the kids and the kids also get the benefit of exercise," she said.
She and Principal John Martin said more traditional fundraisers like candy bar sales and catalog sales aren't as popular anymore because of school nutrition and wellness guidelines which limit the sales of sugary and high-calorie foods and beverages, and also due to seemingly increased food allergens. Also various companies that involve product sales retain a portion of the profits. In addition to events like "Let's Move," Nessacus has done cash calendars, auctions and other activities.
"It's not just about the money, it's about getting [the students] out to be active," Martin said.
This year, 411 students participated in the hour-long self-paced walk or run held on Friday. Students were spread out in various groups, either going around the Nessacus building or soccer field, or running around the track at neighboring Wahconah Regional High School.
Erickson Connor said individual student contributions ranged from $5 to $130. The prizes for top fund raisers include "healthy" gifts like youth membership to the Dalton CRA and Bas Ridge Golf Course.
To make the "Let's Move" event more fun, there are water stations and wedges of oranges given out. Students can make requests for songs that are played over the grounds' PA systems. This year songs by Queen, Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift and Rihanna, were among the mix.
Erickson Connor estimated that between $10,000 and $12,000 has been raised in the first four years of the event.
"The kids can come out, have fun, be silly with their friends while raising money for their own field trips," said Mary Minella, a parent of a Nessacus eighth-grader who volunteered to help at this year's event.
"I think it's fantastic, and who would have expected a 70-degree day in November," she quipped about Friday's unseasonably warm weather.
The students shared the above sentiments with their grown-up counterparts.
"Instead of going out and selling candy bars, you feel like you're doing something not just for yourself, you getting out and doing something for the community," said eighth-grader Shea McIlquham.
His classmate, Madyson Williams, agreed. "It's a really good idea for a fundraiser because everyone can do it and raise money in their own way," she said. Indeed, there is no minimum number of laps or contributions that a student needs to make.
"We just tell kids to do what you can and just go outside and move," Erickson Connors said.
The motivation, said Williams: "Everybody loves field trips."
She said some popular class and group trips have included day and overnight trips to Camp Becket-Chimney Corners; music student trips to see programs at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst; fun trips to places like Six Flags amusement park and educational trips to the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in North Adams.

First time I've used ready made rolling icing and put ribbon round the cake. I was horrified to find that even after several days drying oil leaks into the ribbon from the icing. Now I know why it stays soft so long. I tried using greaseproof baking paper behind the ribbon but would you believe, it leaked up from the iced board. Help!
You can pre-grease the ribbon with shortening to assure it soaks up and stains evenly.
Yep that is what I do. I just wipe the ribbon down with shortening, then wipe it again with a paper towel.
^^^ this. I like to spray mine with Pam just because it's super fast. Kind of like an if you can't beat em, join em thing!
I recently just experienced it and the easiest thing I did that worked out great was to wrap the ribbon around the cake so that it was tight (not too tight but tight enough) and overlapped the ribbon at the back and used double sided tape where it overlapped. It was for a wedding cake and held up perfectly. Some ppl use hot glue on the overlapping ribbon.good luck!


text: And of course, there are the conglomerate plays. Honeywell ( HON) has been crushed here, and the Dreamliner is important to forward earnings and to the company's five-year plan. I think it can be bought, but not just because of the Dreamliner. General Electric ( GE) needs the Dreamliner, but it is more levered to the world's economic recovery, or lack thereof. And I would put Alcoa ( AA) in the same place. While short-sellers don't like that these are not aluminum planes, they seem to forget that Alcoa has built up its fastener business, and those fasteners are used in abundance in the Dreamliner. Alcoa has been pummeled. Any good news has to help. The Dreamliner is a big deal. How big? It even matters to the GDP, that's how big. And given the order profile, this production run could be an important keystone for all of these companies' future earnings. It's funny, the disappointment has been so traumatic for this company and its ship dates that it seems that people have given up on the component makers. That's where the bargains come in. At the time of publication, Cramer was long AA.

Norbert Wiener Think simplicity; then discard it.. . . Alfred North Whitehead INTRODUCTION I was born in 1925, a time when there were no talking movies, radio was just emerging as a popular listening device, when newspapers printed important information, and libraries were sources of both pleasure and learning. My father's grocery store (above which we lived) was a community center where people from blocks away would come for their groceries and to gossip. We knew or knew about everyone in our neighborhood. In that atmosphere I grew up as a young man feeling the warmth of this community. Retrospcclively, I have come to realize how important this long-gone com- munity and the intense human relationships have been to my development as a scientist. My scientific neighborhood encompasses a place where cultu- ral and language differences have been melded seamlessly and with synergy to promote communication, to expand knowledge with a kinship of purpo- se, and to create new thought. Nature, which we often equate with our gene- tic make-up, and Nurture, which symbolizes our environment, interact mutu- ally and synergistically in this community. These are the forces that have given meaning to life; i.e. the parable ofwhich comes first, the chicken or the egg, is not of biological importance. My lecture symbolizes my interest in societal/cellular relationships and concerns the broad issues of biological communication. The first half will deal with the development of the concept of transducers and their role in cell signaling. Since this concepl is still at an evolulionary phase, I will con-

The First Indochina War (also known as the French Indochina War, Anti-French War, Franco-Vietnamese War, Franco-Vietminh War, Indochina War, Dirty War in France, and Anti-French Resistance War in contemporary Vietnam) was fought in French Indochina from December 19, 1946, until August 1, 1954, between the French Union's French Far East Expeditionary Corps, led by France and supported by Emperor Bảo Đại's Vietnamese National Army against the Việt Minh, led by Hồ Chí Minh and Võ Nguyên Giáp, supported by the Kuomintang of Republic of China. Most of the fighting took place in Tonkin in Northern Vietnam, although the conflict engulfed the entire country and also extended into the neighboring French Indochina protectorates of Laos and Cambodia.
In August 1945, when the military forces of Japan surrendered in Vietnam, they allowed the Việt Minh and other nationalist groups to take over public buildings and weapons without resistance, which began the August Revolution. After the defeat of the war, Japanese Army gave weapons to the Vietnamese. In order to further help the nationalists, the Japanese kept Vichy French officials and military officers imprisoned for a month after the surrender. The Việt Minh had recruited more than 600 Japanese soldiers and given them roles to train or command Vietnamese soldiers.
Hồ Chí Minh was able to persuade Emperor Bảo Đại to abdicate on August 25, 1945. Bảo Đại was appointed "supreme adviser" to the new Vietminh-led government in Hanoi, which asserted independence on September 2, 1945. Deliberately borrowing from the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America, Ho Chi Minh proclaimed on that day: "We hold the truth that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, among them life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
On September 13, 1945 a Franco-British task force landed in Java, capital of Sukarno's Dutch East Indies, and Saigon, capital of Cochinchina (southern part of French Indochina), both being occupied by the Japanese and ruled by Field Marshal Hisaichi Terauchi, Commander-in-Chief of Japan's Southern Expeditionary Army Group based in Saigon. Allied troops in Saigon were an airborne detachment, two British companies of the 20th Hindi Division and the French 5th Colonial Infantry Regiment, with British General Sir Douglas Gracey as supreme commander. The latter proclaimed martial law on September 21. The following night the Franco-British troops took control of Saigon.
Almost immediately afterward, the Chinese Government, as agreed to at the Potsdam Conference, occupied French Indochina as far south as the 16th parallel in order to supervise the disarming and repatriation of the Japanese Army. This effectively ended Hồ Chí Minh's nominal government in Hanoi.
General Leclerc arrived in Saigon in October 9, with him was French Colonel Massu's March Group (Groupement de marche). Leclerc's primary objectives were to restore public order in south Vietnam and to militarize Tonkin (north Vietnam). Secondary objectives were to wait for French backup in view to take back Chinese occupied Hanoi, then to negotiate with the Viet Minh officials.
What Leclerc and the French did not know was that Ho Chi Minh had negotiated with the Kuomintang and Chiang Kai-shek, a set of negotiations that would quickly bring France and the Republic of China to their own Cold War.

In the state of Texas, every motorist is required to have adequate auto insurance, so that he can fulfill his financial responsibility on the roads. The process of being paid by an auto insurance company in Texas – in the event of an accident is covered in this article.
Every driver on Texas roads should be aware of the ways his insurance claims pay in the event of an accident. If you sustained injuries as a result of someone else's negligence, then you have the right to be compensated for your damages. The at-fault driver in an accident has to pay for your medical treatments and other damages so that you are not hurt financially and physically because of the accident.
In the event that the driver does not have insurance, then you will have to sue him for your damages. In case he has insurance you (or your attorney) have to work with a claims adjuster employed by his insurance company, towards getting a settlement.
Every adjuster with an insurance company evaluates an injury claim on the basis of the company's procedures. There are some general evaluation criteria too, which are taken into account when determining how much money the injured party should receive as claim.
Auto insurance adjuster – claim factors
The accident facts: The adjuster will verify and investigate the entire incident. The accident, how it happened, where, who all were involved, at what speed, were any laws broken, when did the police come, etc., will be found out and made a note of by the adjusters of insurance company.
Who is at fault: Liability is another parameter. The claims adjusters have to judge a claim for fault before they offer any settlement. In case it is clear that one party is liable for the incident, then there is no room for speculation.
However, if the accident is one where it is difficult to determine who was responsible, then third parties need to get involved. Reconstruction experts are called in to study the accident scene. These experts then follow their investigative and analytical process to determine how the accident happened and who was more at fault. In many cases, both parties have been declared to have been found guilty.
Evaluation of the injuries caused: The adjuster will also need to know the details of your injuries so that he determines how injured you really are. They look through the reports very closely as they want to avoid fraudulent claims. The regular documents you will need to provide them with are: a medical report from your physician with a diagnosis and a prognosis for your recovery.
The calculation of expenses occurred: The adjuster will need to know the money you paid on medical bills as a result of the auto accident. The amount of money you lost as wages, while you were recuperating; and other expenses that may have occurred. So, to get claim settlement, be ready to supply the adjuster with copies of medical bills and statements, wage stubs, receipts for medicines and other expenses. Submit any payments you made to deal with damage to your property (unless you have insurance to pay for it). Usually, to determine the property liability, they will see the damage done to your car and estimate the amount it will take to repair it.
After all this information has been collected and processed, the adjuster will make an offer under the limits of the at-fault driver's auto insurance. Texas insurance companies follow different formulas to calculate claims, and it is advised that you hire an attorney to negotiate your claims.
