About Lost Society
Nestled in the U Street Corridor and surrounded by restaurants that serve small plates, the owners of Lost Society prefer to think big with respect to both their eatery's dishes and ambience. They commissioned Joseph Evans—formerly the executive chef of Smith & Wollensky's DC location—to bring his expertise in creating a set of steak-centric menus that rely on local produce, dry-aged and certified-Angus beef, and regional seafood. To start, the richness of Wagyu beef carpaccio is cut by grapefruit and pea tendrils, and fried oysters get an upscale twist with a worcestershire beurre blanc and smoked maple hot sauce. Ten-ounce filets and 12-ounce sirloins come topped with herb butter, and blackened catfish is accentuated by a scallion cream sauce.
But the artfully plated dishes comprise only half the appeal that lures Lost Society's trendy clientele. Design consultants Olvia Demetriou and Melinda Nettelbeck of hapstak demetriou + transformed the restaurant's two stories into a space that balances modern elements with nods to the Victorian-era underground. The dining room lives on the first level, where studio lighting bounces off brocade banquettes, framed spy mirrors, and wallpaper patterned with the faces of ladies in elegant hats. Diners lounge on the purple and yellow couches lining exposed-brick walls before retreating upstairs to see the chandeliers hanging above the neutral-toned bar and roof deck. To seal in the supper-club experience, they sample signature cocktails—such as a lychee martini or jalapeno margarita—some of which are created by recipes that are more than 100 years old.

About the Look:
I tried on quite a few pairs of striped denim before finding the perfect pair by Hudson. I opted for a thiner stripe because the pattern elongated my legs when compared to a similar pair by Seven For All Mankind with a thicker stripe (it was a tough decision though). For the fit, I actually went a size down (I'm usually a 25 but I bought these in a 24). It was a bonus that they were 20% off during Bloomingdale's Friends and Family sale!

It probably won't help their "public bathroom" problem, but Starbucks is set to start selling beer and wine in selected locations, based on early success selling alcohol at stores in Seattle and Portland. Five new booze-friendly stores will open in Chicago by the end of 2012, as well as locations in Atlanta and southern California.
An official from the company explained, "As our customers transition from work to home, many are looking for a warm and inviting place to unwind and connect with the people they care about."
In other words, most people really need a drink (and some kind of fancy sandwich) before going home. And, Americans are now one step closer to becoming dependent on Starbucks for literally all of their daily needs — the only frontier left is high-tech nap stations, which I imagine are already in the works.

Interest rate modeling under multiple discounting curves
For deals denominated in a single currency, different collateralization schemes imply different accrual rates for funds posted as collateral, so that we can end up with different current accounts that accrue at different rates and their corresponding discount factors. In this paper we examine how to incorporate this multiple discounting curves environment in a pricing framework, presenting the different numeraires available and examining how the change of measure works when the corresponding numeraires are associated with different collateralization schemes. The simulation of a stochastic funding curve will also be tackled. We will assume Heath Jarrow Morton dynamics for the different discounting curves and will obtain the drift restrictions on those curves under different numeraires. Finally, we will analyze the best strategy to incorporate this multiple discounting curves framework for each single currency in a multi currency setting where different transactions following different collateral schemes are simultaneously modeled, such as a CVA pricing engine

Evidently corporate America needs to encourage a hacker culture to bounce back, and now local governments need hackers to help them solve their ever-increasing problems using their ever-decreasing budgets. Modeled after Teach for America, Doctors Without Borders and Architecture for Humanity, Code for America (CfA) officially launched on January 5, 2011. The brightest minds on the Internet frontier commit to an 11-month fellowship working with cities to use technology to build solutions for urban problems that are effective, cost-effective and can be duplicated in other cities around the country in the future. Could this be the beginning of a Gov 2.0 boom?
Led by board titans such as Tim O'Reilly, Clay Johnson and Jascha Franklin Hodge, Clay Shirky, and Andrew Rasiej and backed by a mix of non-profits (The Case Foundation, The Rockfeller Foundation), for-profits (O'Reilly Media, Stamen Design), and government sites (GovFresh, GovLoop), Code for America aims to make as big an impact on municipalities as its mentor organizations made on education, rural medicine, and low-income housing design and construction.
Out of 360 applications, 20 fellows were selected to work in four cities: Boston, Seattle, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. Unfortunately, Boulder had to drop out at a late date due to a severe budget issue. The problems have been scoped and defined, but the coders will design and implement the solutions over the next year, culminating in a smooth handoff to city officials to maintain and move the solution forward from that point on.
The problems vary from city to city, but are common to other cities throughout the country. In Boston, the focus will be on education. In Philadelphia, the solution will promote communication between citizens and between citizens and city government. In Seattle, coders will concentrate on resident safety. In our nation's capital, CfA fellows will ensure that its Gov 2.0 efforts are documented and transparent so they can be used in other cities.
How did the idea for CfA come about? Fast Company's December 2010/January 2011 issue tells the story of the origins of Code for America. From the invention of SeeClickFix, a municipal program born out of a resident's frustration with neighborhood graffiti, to the collaboration of an event planner and a Teach for America alum, to their first backer, Clay Johnson of the Sunlight Foundation–Code for America finally came into being. After reading several inspiring stories of municipalities benefitting from technological solutions, it's easy to cheer for CfA and believe that it will make a substantial difference in local government issues. But will it?
Further into the article, some doubts surface about how much impact CfA and Gov 2.0 will really have. Will the coders be able to design a real-world solution that is both budget-conscious and effective? Will the solutions really make a difference? Will city officials continue to utilize the solution after the coders leave or will it eventually be abandoned when its ROI can't immediately be measured and budget cuts keep coming? Will one high-tech solution only highlight how much the other areas are lagging behind in technology and efficient processes? Will the solution be large-scale enough to fix an issue in a city like New York or Los Angeles? The author concedes that for the movement to catch on past this initial pilot, its solutions will have to show substantial cost benefits for the cities involved. Unfortunately, initiatives like this one often pay off in hard-to-measure ways and over long periods of time, rather than in an immediate, easily quantifiable way.
Only time will show if Gov 2.0 will bring governments and citizens closer together, restore a sense of community pride, and solve city issues. Tim O'Reilly summed it up, saying, "The way I feel about it is the same way I feel about most innovations. In the short term, they don't live up to their promise. In the long term, you see how enormous the changes are."

HONG KONG - Working long hours away from home for low pay and little time off, life is tough for foreign domestic workers in Hong Kong, but for some the city has brought sexual liberation unheard of in their home countries.
To Jenny Patoc, a 41-year-old Filipina helper, Hong Kong is the place where she met her girlfriend 15 years ago and where they unofficially tied the knot at their own "holy union" ceremony last year - despite the semi-autonomous territory's failure to recognise same sex marriages.
"In Hong Kong, we are free. We can show who we are," Patoc told AFP in the southern Chinese city's packed Central financial district on a recent Sunday, where thousands of helpers congregate every week on their one day off.
While conservative attitudes still prevail in aspects of Hong Kong society, for many migrant workers the former British colony is an easier place than home to be gay, particularly those from Muslim Indonesia and the deeply Catholic Philippines.
Roughly 300,000 domestic workers make about HK$4,000 (S$658) a month as helpers for Hong Kong families, doing household chores and looking after children while the parents are out at work.
They are mainly from the Philippines, Indonesia or Thailand, many supporting their families by sending earnings home.
Conditions can be tough. In a report last year Amnesty International condemned the "slavery-like" conditions faced by thousands of Indonesian women who work in Hong Kong as domestic staff, accusing authorities of inaction.
The findings came just weeks after a Hong Kong couple were jailed for a shocking string of attacks on their Indonesian housekeeper, including burning her with an iron and beating her with a bike chain.
Last month thousands of domestic workers took to the streets demanding justice for another Indonesian helper who claimed that she was left unable to walk after eight months of abuse at the hands of her employer who has subsequently been arrested.
And this week another Hong Kong housewife was arrested for allegedly assaulting her Bangladeshi maid.

Relative Image Paths broken after 3.1.1 Upgrade
Another upgrade issue. 🙁
I upgraded to 3.1.1 last night and saw that all images on index.php were not displaying. My theme, Arthemia, uses an image resizer (Tim Thumb – http://code.google.com/p/timthumb/) that has not caused issues until now. I disabled plugins for both the update and afterward to try to correct the problem and it has not helped.
Through looking at the generated code, it looks like the issue is the img src links are being generated with two // for the path like below:

However, when I edited index.php to remove the / before the src in the code, the image link ended up with no slash at all, like:

Any ideas would be welcome; so far, everything else seems ok.

ROME, Italy — As Catholics around the world prepare to celebrate Palm Sunday, a drumbeat of scandal in the church seems incessant and increasingly focused on the pope himself.
Consider that just this week Pope Benedict XVI issued an unprecedented apology to Irish Catholics for the church's handling of past allegations of sexual abuse; The New York Times carried a front-page story that the pope, when he served as cardinal, allowed a priest who had molested 200 deaf children to be reassigned to another post with more access to children; and the very powerful congregation of pontifical right known as the Legion of Christ essentially disowned its founder in the wake of yet another sexual abuse scandal.
While a growing number of Catholics demand that the pope accept responsibility for abuse cases unfolding from Germany to the United States, the Vatican launched a public relations campaign to blame the media for smearing the pope.
And with all this scandal swirling around the church, a small event in Rome almost went unnoticed.
Four American victims of priestly sex abuse were detained by police just outside St. Peter's Square while protesting what they call a "Vatican cover-up" of clergy pedophilia. The arrests reflect a growing voice of anger within the Catholic Church and the police response suggests a growing concern about security at the Vatican.
Barbara Blaine, Peter Isely, John Pilmaier and Barbara Dorris from the Chicago-based Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) had summoned journalists for a "sidewalk news conference" just a few meters from the unmarked border between Italy and the Vatican City, the smallest independent country in the world.
They were holding signs reading "Stop the Secrecy Now" and childhood photos that showed them at the age they were first abused.
They challenged the Vatican to open up the archives of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the arm of the Vatican that upholds matters of doctrine and the place of power from which the current pope, then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, served Pope John Paul II for more than 20 years. Bishops from all over the world must report priests accused of sex crimes to that body.
The presence of large groups of people and the occasional protester is not an unusual site near the Vatican, so what happened next gives a sense of Italian authorities' concern that anger at the church could generate unrest.
After about 15 minutes, plainclothes Italian policemen approached the news conference and began asking attendees for identification. After about 20 minutes the police urged the activists to end their improvised press conference. Then the activists were taken into unmarked police cars and driven to a nearby police station, where they were held for two hours.
"They wouldn't tell us why, at first. In the end, they told us that it was illegal to hold an unauthorized press conference," Dorris said. "They took our passports and didn't let us use our phones." Their photos and signs were also confiscated.
Eventually, one of the group's members managed to text the organization's headquarters in Chicago, which Dorris said alerted the U.S. embassy in Rome. The activists were released shortly thereafter.
"We weren't really worried as we knew we didn't do anything wrong," Dorris said. "But of course every time police detain you, it worries you a bit."
"I am sure that if we had been praying Hail Mary's they wouldn't have stopped us, but they didn't like the message we were giving, that the pope was an accomplice in the cover-up," she added.
After a deranged woman attacked the pope on Christmas night, security has tightened around the Vatican. Just last week, a man was briefly held and questioned after shouting during the pope's general audience in St. Peter's Square, calling for pro-choice politicians to be denied communion. Policemen say that they will keep their eyes open for more such events as the Vatican remains at the center of the news.
Though the Vatican has its own police force in addition to the famous Swiss Guards who protect the pope, the border between Italy and Vatican City, which runs along the edge of St. Peter's Square, is guarded by Italian policemen. The SNAP group was acting in Italian territory.
As the four were protesting, a few meters away, in the Vatican press office, cardinals and bishops were presenting to journalists the latest display of Turin's Holy Shroud. But the room was abuzz with talk of the latest allegations against the pope and his closest collaborator, Vatican Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone.
A New York Times story accuses them of having dithered over the punishment of a pedophile priest who had abused about 200 deaf boys. While local bishops wanted the priest defrocked, Ratzinger and Bertone — then heading the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith — advised milder "pastoral measures" out of respect for the priest's old age.
"The goal of Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict, was to keep this secret," Isely told journalists at the protesters' press conference.
As scandal focuses more directly on the pope himself, the church has shifted from early calls for "zero tolerance" toward predator priests and cover-ups to an aggressively defensive stance.
The Vatican paper, L'Osservatore Romano, on Thursday rebuked recent media coverage of the scandal as an "ignoble attempt" to smear Pope Benedict "at any cost."
"The prevalent tendency in the media is to ignore the facts and stretch interpretations with the aim of spreading the picture of the Catholic Church as the only one responsible for sexual abuse, something which does not correspond to reality," the Vatican newspaper said.

Maybe the best things in life really can be free.
The Lady Raiders announced their "Get in to win free tuition and prizes" campaign Wednesday at United Spirit Arena, as part of the NCAA Grant Award the program was given back in March.
The $20,000 grant will award prizes periodically at each game as the season goes on with a drawing for the chance to win free in-state tuition to Tech coming in the last game. Any active Tech student qualifies for the drawing when he/she has their student ID swiped at the gate upon entering the arena. Only students who attend at least 10 games during the regular season will be eligible to win the free tuition for the following academic year.
"We had the idea of participating, and then after the grant proposal we thought targeting the students because we feel like that is an area across the country where we can continue to grow is the student population because then they become family," said Lady Raider head coach Kristy Curry.
Tech was one of 12 institutions and five conferences to receive the grant money aimed at improving the student body awareness and attendance at women's basketball games. Approximately $750,000 was handed out in 17 grants.
Lady Raider attendance has consistently ranked in the top three programs nationally in overall attendance since 2001, averaging 11,712 people at each home game in the last seven seasons.
Elvis Moya, director of marketing and promotions for Lady Raider basketball and author of the grant, said the aim at the Tech student body rather than the entire surrounding Lubbock area is something that makes the Tech grant proposal different than the other universities and conferences involved in the project.
"Even though we already have Lady Raider Nation well established, we're always trying to build on attendance," he said. "So we really tried to step outside the box when we were coming up with this and thought aiming it strictly at the students themselves and boosting their enthusiasm to come out and see the games would be the best route."
None of the other programs had aimed their new campaign specifically at the student body, according to Moya.
The NCAA set in place the program as a way "to grow women's basketball from the inside out at the grass roots level," according to a Tech news release. A three-year program was also established by the NCAA to specifically help grow Division I women's basketball.
The grants for all institutions and conferences will be reviewed by the NCAA each year and are not automatically renewed.

Issei Sagawa- The Japanese Cannibal
Issei Sagawa , born 11 June 1949) is a Japanese man who in 1981 murdered and cannibalized a Dutch woman named Renée Hartevelt.
After his release, Sagawa became a food critic for the Japanese magazine Spa.

This piece is signed in Japanes and dated from 2008
Titled: 'Bad Embryo'
Medium: Pastel on paper
Issei Sagawa served time in a French jail for the murder of the Dutch student Renée Hartevelt, a classmate at the Sorbonne Academy in Paris, France. On 11 June 1981, Sagawa, a student of avant garde literature, invited Hartevelt to dinner under the pretense of literary conversation. Upon her arrival, he shot her in the neck with a rifle while she sat with her back to him at a desk, then began to carry out his plan of eating her.
She was selected because of her health and beauty, those characteristics Sagawa believed he lacked. In interviews, Sagawa describes himself as a "weak, ugly, and small man" and claims that he wanted to "absorb her energy".
Dissection of Renée Hartvelt
Sagawa said he fainted after the shock of shooting her, but awoke with the realization that he had to carry out his desire to eat her. He did so, beginning with her hips & legs, after having sex with the corpse. In interviews, he noted his surprise at the "corn-colored" nature of human fat. For two days, Sagawa ate various parts of her body. He described the meat as "soft" and "odorless", like tuna.
After two days, he dumped the mutilated body in a park, but was seen in the act. Five days later, he was arrested by the French police. French psychologists found him legally insane and unfit to stand trial. He was deported back to Japan, where he was put in a mental institution.
The deportation order did not specify how long Sagawa must remain in the institution, and Japanese authorities were refused the necessary paperwork from French justice officials. As a result, fifteen months later, Sagawa checked himself out, and he has been a free man ever since.

Sagawa says that he gets nightmare and is haunted by her and that he is ceratin that one day she will get her revenge. He keeps saying that he still has that urge and wants to cannibalize a new young lady.
Sagawa now lives in Tokyo and is a minor celebrity in Japan. He is often invited as a guest speaker and commentator. He also writes restaurant reviews. In 1992, he appeared in Hisayasu Sato's film Sisenjiyou no Aria (The Bedroom) as a sadosexual voyeur.
Besides books about the murder he committed, Sagawa wrote a commentary book Shonen A in 1997 on the Kobe children's serial murder of 1997, when a 14-year-old called "Boy A" ("Shonen A") killed and decapitated a child.
Sagawa's story inspired the 1981 Stranglers song "La Folie" and the 1983 Rolling Stones song "Too Much Blood".
In 2007, the Avant-garde noise-metal band Gnaw their Tongues released an EP titled "Issei Sagawa," the cover of which depicts Sagawa posed with a fork and knife over what appears to be a pair of human legs.

Japanese Government Bonds Halted Limit Down; Yields Spike To 10 Week High; Worst Day In 5 Years
It appears things are getting a little out of control around the world. Between the collapse in JGB implied volatilities in recent days, today's melt-down in JPY (+255 pips from pre-open US levels), the last few days melt-up in the Nikkei (+6.8% in 3 days), and now the quadrillion Yen Japanese government bond market is halted limit down as yields smash higher by 11bps to 70bps in 10Y – the highest yield since mid-February. For context, this is the worst day in JGBs in five years (and 5Y yields are back near 13 month highs). So much for controlling the domestic bond market while ratcheting up inflation expectations – remember what happens as Japan's cost of debt rises! And just to add some more fun, Japan's economy watchers see the current economic climate dropping for the first time in six months (and household expectations also fell for the first time in six months).
JGB Futures halted limit down…(from 12:39 Tokyo to 12:50) due to rapid price moves… exaggerated soon after the BoJ's buyback efforts on JPY130bn
Yields jump their most in 5 years…
This will not end well for Japan: A mere rise in interest rates to 3% would consume Japan's entire tax revenue just on interest on its national debt
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is playing not with matches but with dynamite with his 2% inflation mandate widely known as "Abenomics". So far, Abe's policies are popular (at least from exporters), yet I caution once again "Be Careful of What You Ask, You May Get It".
There is no reason at all to believe Japan can easily contain this mess given should inflation get out of hand. A mere rise in interest rates to 3% would consume Japan's entire tax revenue just on interest on its national debt.
This will not end well for Japan.
Japan bear Kyle Bass warns on unfolding debt crisis
Japan will be consumed by a debt crisis surpassing the U.S. subprime crash, a leading U.S.-based hedge fund manager Kyle Bass has warned, telling investors that "the beginning of the end has begun" for Japan's finances.
Japan is 'adding a Ponzi scheme to a Ponzi scheme'
US hedge fund heavyweight Kyle Bass has warned that Japan is careering towards a major debt crisis.
Mr Bass, founder of $1.8bn hedge fund Hayman Capital, said some of Japan's measures to boost growth in the deflation-dogged economy amount to "adding a Ponzi scheme to a Ponzi scheme".
He cited as one example the Japanese government's use of a new form of debt known as Japanese compensation bonds, which Tokyo plans to repay through funds raised from future tax reforms.
Mr Bass, who famously made millions betting against the subprime mortgage bond market, has been shorting Japanese debt in anticipation of the country losing control of the bond market.
Speaking at the Ira Sohn investment conference in New York, the Texan financier warned that all the elements are in place for a debt crisis, and that it is now a matter of when.

Here are three ways to save when you need surgery.
No one likes the idea of needing surgery. We understand. That is why we do everything possible, at the Rush Surgery Center, to make your surgical experience with us smooth and pleasant. We want you to feel at home with our staff of nurses and doctors. As one patient said, andquot;Rush Surgery Center feels more like a spa than the sterile environment of a hospital.andquot; That is the type of compliment our staff thrives on. It must be working because in the brief few months we have been open, we have already provided over 250 procedures.
We want you to save at all levels. However, saving your precious time is always important. When you enter the Rush Surgery Center, you will be immediately greeted. We will have been planning and preparing everything in advance of your arrival.
Since we specialize in surgery, andquot;Practice makes perfectandquot; is one slogan that really applies here. Surgery is what we do, day in and day out. We are not dealing with all of the other activities of a hospital, so we can focus on just you. There are no emergencies to interrupt us. Everything is precisely scheduled. As such, you sail through smoothly so you can quickly return to the comfort of your own home.
We feel it is much better for one healthy doctor to come to our surgery center in Brookings, so your drive home is short. As many can already attest, the drive home from Medford, Crescent City, North Bend or Gold Beach, when you have just been operated on, can be very unpleasant. You can save that drive by asking your surgeon if your procedure can be done here at home.
Currently, Dr. John Flaxel, Dr. Larry Eninger, Dr. Mark Silver, Dr. John Fjerstad and Dr. Scott Cherne are providing surgical care here. We are actively recruiting other doctors. You can help by asking your surgeon if he or she would be willing to come to Brookings and save you that long uncomfortable drive home.
Because of the natural efficiency of a surgery center, Medicare and all insurance companies pay surgery centers about half of what they pay a hospital for the same procedure. Our fees are scaled down as a result. The 20 percent co-insurance fee is also reduced.
As a result, Rush Surgery Center is part of a fast growing trend across the nation. Our patients, like you, and their insurers can save substantial amounts of money when you choose a doctor who will provide your care here at the Rush Surgery Center.

Schafer is 100th patient
Curry County Commissioner Marlyn Schafer recently was the 100th patient to have cataract surgery at the Rush Surgery Center. Commissioner Schafer has worked for years to bring additional health care facilities and doctors to the Brookings area. She felt that it only seemed logical that she would test out the new Rush Surgery Center to see if it provided the quality of services that she had worked to achieve.
Schafer was exceptionally pleased with the outcome of her surgery as well as the care provided. She stated that, andquot;Not only did I end up with perfect vision but it was the easiest surgery I have ever had. I am so pleased that we are beginning to build this high quality surgical care in Brookings.andquot;
Doctor John Flaxel performed her surgery and has been providing eye surgery in Curry County for many years. Dr. Flaxel stated, andquot;The surgery center offers modern equipment that meets all of my needs.andquot; He also added, andquot;The surgery center will be a magnet for more doctors because it offers a lot of conveniences that are attractive.andquot;
Surgery center director Dr. Doug Walker said andquot;We now have five physicians using the center and it has only been open for a few months.andquot; Doctor Mark Silver emphasized the point when he said andquot;we expect the surgery center will attract even more specialists.andquot;

Lindsay Lohan's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, was in court on Wednesday to meet with prosecutors and the new judge overseeing the actress' probation violation case. During the meeting, which was held in the chambers of Judge Elden S. Fox, the idea of whether troubled "Mean Girls" star should be released from drug rehab early was reportedly discussed.
After serving 13 days of a 90-day jail sentence, Lohan was slated to spend 90 days in a drug rehabilitation facility. But according to RadarOnline, a court date to discuss the length of Lohan's treatment has been set for August 25.
The site reported that the doctors treating Lohan — who has logged three previous stints in rehab — have recommended that she spend no more than 30 days at the UCLA Medical Center. Lohan is only on day 18 of her court-imposed rehab stay, but a number of outlets have reported that she could be released early from the treatment program.
target="_blank">TMZreported last week that the UCLA program typically runs for 45 days. When contacted by MTV News prior to Lohan's jail stint, "Celebrity Rehab" host and addiction specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky said that he believed that Lohan should spend the full 90 days in rehab to deal with her substance issues — and possibly stay there even longer.
In 2007, Lohan was released from the Promises drug rehab program after 45 days of treatment, and she spent her first night after leaving the facility out at a Las Vegas nightclub. At the time, Pinsky said it was a sign of more trouble to come.
"My expectation was that we were going to see more recovery because she extended her stay appropriately and seemed to be following the advice of professionals," Pinsky said of Lohan's trip to a Sin City club. "The problem is that early in treatment, you don't have this active craving, and you think you can walk into an environment and be around the old triggers and not have it result in using, which is a common mistake."
It's possible Lohan could be released after 45 days of inpatient care and ordered to spend the final 45 days in outpatient care, but a source told TMZ that's not a likely scenario in her case.
Last week, Holley told the site, "We are waiting to hear the assessment of doctors and other treatment professionals concerning the appropriate length of Ms. Lohan's rehabilitation. We will defer to their expertise and to the wisdom and authority of Judge Fox in that regard." Holley could not be reached for comment at press time.

A dead raccoon removed from a South Jersey neighborhood has tested positive for rabies, according to officials in Camden County.
The New Jersey Department of Health and Human Services (NJDHSS) confirmed through testing that the raccoon, who was killed during a fight with a family dog in the Fairview neighborhood of Camden City, had rabies.
Camden County confirms that the dog involved was up-to-date with its rabies vaccinations and has received a rabies booster since the incident. The dog must now be confined and observed for 45 days, according to state regulation.
Freeholder Carmen Rodriguez, liason to the Camden County Health Department, suggests keeping up with your pet's rabies vaccinations. He also says it's important to avoid contact with unfamiliar and wild animals.
"Although rabies is a serious illness, it can be prevented by early treatment," said Rodriguez. "If you have been bitten or scratched by a wild animal it is important that you seek immediate medical attention."

These didn't work for me at all. I'm in Washington state. I planted an entire 4x8 raised bed with these, but the only thing that grew was a huge bunch of weeds that overtook the place. I almost thought something else was inside the packet. Not one carrot even attempted to bloom. My other beds did well, why this one struggled was beyond me. Am trying a different variety this year.

For more than a decade, New Mexico funk act Felonious Groove Foundation has won fans and awards all across the state. Throughout, co-founder and bassist Todd Eric Lovato has been at the center of the hot, funky action. Now, Lovato is calling it quits to focus his energy on a new project, Todd & the Fox.
A two-piece with drummer Erik Sawyer (of local bluegrass outfit Family Coal), Todd & the Fox achieves a fresh blend of banjo riffs, subtle electronic experimentalism and country-ish rock 'n' roll.
Lovato layers effects over the banjo for an intriguing, modern sound. Certainly the well-known, plucky sounds of the banjo remain intact, but Lovato takes the instrument to strange new places. Sawyer adds killer fills and straight rock rhythm to the catalog, with the addition of foot-played bass pedals (like on an organ) rounding out the duo's signature style. Though elements of folk, bluegrass and Americana tend to find their way into Lovato's songs, he insists he isn't aiming for revivalist music.
"I'd call it pop before I called it Americana," Lovato tells SFR. "So much of it is driven by my interest in incorporating what I consider to be the good parts of electronic music with the more traditional aspects of songwriting."
It all boils down to a series of refreshingly simple and undeniably catchy songs. Lovato is a master of cross-genre songwriting. From song to song, nailing down a label for the music is hard. This is a good thing.
On tracks such as "Blessed Christine," the rolling, country-style bump-bump of the bass adds a toe-tapping element to Lovato's version of a down-and-dirty love song. Lovato's banjo prowess shines through with a bluesy slant as he transitions into a shredding solo so excellent that one could almost swear he was playing a guitar.
On "I Miss My Girl," Lovato enters powerful territory as the melancholy reverb aids the bum-out tone of the tried-and-true lonely ballad. These songs are just the beginning.
Lovato and Sawyer are currently hard at work on a debut album. For production, the duo enlisted %uFFFDber-talented local musician and producer Jono Manson and his Kitchen Sink Studio.
"It's so exciting to work with someone like Jono," Lovato says. "He has been such an incredible resource when it comes to developing the Todd & the Fox sound."
We can expect an album of chart-topping hits sometime this fall and, according to Lovato, "some really aggressive touring shortly after that."
In the meantime, Lovato still has a few shows scheduled with Felonious Groove Foundation, so if you're a fan, check it out while you can. Lovato's final performance will be part of the ninth annual Santa Fe Bandstand series later this month.
Lovato's departure from his longtime band is bittersweet.
"I honestly love this band, but I just can't keep gigging all the time and still have enough energy left over for Todd & the Fox," Lovato says. "Being in nightclubs all the time isn't easy and, when you wake up hungover or even just exhausted, the last thing you want to do is track vocals or write a song…I came to realize that, in order for everyone to get what they wanted, it was simply time for me to step aside, but I can assure you the band will go on strong without me."
For now, we can all be excited at the prospect of a new addition to our local music landscape. Todd & the Fox has an unforgettably awesome sound right out of the gate. Given the international hysteria surrounding indie duos (not to mention anything with an even slightly country/folk sound), it has a decent head start on the road to super-stardom.

EJ is #1 for the 15th straight year, with a score of 9.5. AG Edwards is 2nd with a score of 8.7.
Damn, and to think I sat by the phone waiting for the interviewers to call. I would have shed some light on their lovely scorecard. I bet my comments would have put them at 10.
Can I go to bed now? Like Bspears I waited for 15 years to get that call at Jones and nothing--Did Jim get a call?????
I doubt Jim has time to talk on the phone. He can't get away from his car magazines long enough to make a statement.
The Pittsburg Pirates haven't had a winning season for 15 years. I wonder if anyone in that organization makes fun of competition like the Atlanta Braves, who won the division for 11 straight years.
I believe 50 brokers are called at each firm each year, which would currently be less than 0.5% of those at EJ. Obviously most would never be contacted.
So less than 50 brokers think they're almost great....wheww...I'm now impressed. I don't get your baseball analogy...it would have been better to say.."the Atlanta Braves players rated their baseball club 9.5 on a scale of 10"...Which means what??? and the Pirates rated their club an 8 out of 10...which means what??? Pretty much..NOTHING...Maybe the Braves pay for a stip club membership...it would get my vote.
Now I would be impressed if they surveyed maybe 5k of brokers working at Jones and or anyother brokerages...and if the number was still 9.5...I would THEN be impressed. I believe the names are handpicked...maybe not...but not a significant number to me.
I cant compete with these guys. I mean if the IRFA's in my town didn't throw be a bone every once in a while, my family would starve. Thank you for your generosity and kindness and congratulations on this prestigious accomplishment.
EJ is #1 for the 15th straight year, with a score of 9.5. AG Edwards is 2nd with a score of 8.7.
I just had to see those numbers again. Simply amazing........what an accomplishment.
I am truly humbled. Again, congratulations.
Take that No 1 ranking in RR--A ranking made by your own employees (You do get a W-2 because you don't own your book or your branch) and tell all your client's how great you ranked yourself--I'm sure they will be impressed! What a joke! What isn't a joke is getting paid 90% instead of 40% or if you are in a B or C share at Jones 35%. What impresses clients is the fact we don't charge 2% like Jones to reinvest their dividends or $75 to set up a TOD--we do it for free because it is the right thing to do...then when the client dies you hit up the estate for another $200 to execute the TOD! Get a life!
Oh yea...wait till they get that thing called fee based accts....10 here we come...yahoooo....
Gather around children and I will tell you a story. It's about a someone who used to be known as an I.R. who belonged to a special group of people called Leadership Team.....
One day this I.R. was visiting a Castle owned and occupied by giants called General Partners. The Giants were having a special meeting which they held every other monday in a special room. The Giants would discuss all the L.P.'s (Little People) who lived in their kingdom. Sometimes they would say Good things, sometimes they would say very VERY bad things .... If Bad things were said, the L.P. would then somehow disappear..... Anyway, during this meeting, one of the Giants whose name was Tiny Tim, said "WE MUST SUBMIT THE NAMES OF SELECT I.R.'S TO THE RANKING SERVICE AGAIN- WHO WOULD YOU NOMINATE?" And all the Giants began to talk excitedly about the L.P.'s in their Region who would say the nicest things about the Kingdom.
This was a tradition that was done every year.
Aftwards, all the Giants would mix a large batch of special Green Kool-Aid and everyone would drink it until they all felt like forming a big group hug and they would sing Kum Bay Ya.....
The moral of the story boys and girls is that even when it's in Print- for 15 years- there's still Giants who write the verses and Kool-aid driving the forces.....and Little People who don't say good things ....... disappear..... just like magic.
I believe 50 brokers are called at each firm each year, which would currently be less than 0.5% of those at EJ. Obviously most would never be contacted.
From this website we get the following information:
Methodology: How this Survey Was Conducted
Registered Rep. commissioned J.D. Power and Associates to conduct its Annual Broker Report Card Study this year. Reps were randomly selected from the subscriber list of this magazine. Similar to previous years, advisors were required to have at least one year in production at one of the seven firms evaluated in the study. The research was conducted by Internet and phone in September and October 2006. Sample sizes range from 72 to 201 by firm. The total sample size for all firms is 920.
Too bad those boys in green can't comprehend what they read.
Numbers dont lie.
Edward Jones is the best everyone else sucks. RR, JD Power, and GP dont lie. Deal with it and stop being jealous. I finally accepted it and am now a much happier person.
HAPPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY....I had my wife call me and interview me on my own firm. Guess what ...a perfect 10. F u EDJ's...I got a 10.
Munytalks, back in the day...that type of meeting would have been called a circle jerk.
Signing off for the weekend fella's. Its been a hoot reporting outside the cult camp this week. Hope you all have a great weekend and lets get back to battle the green machine bright and early Monday morning. Kum By Ya..Kum By Ya....
Munytalks, back in the day...that type of meeting would have been called a circle jerk. [/quote]
Well, I DID point out that the meeting was run by General Partners, soooooo- you're right. You get the prize. I will be sending you a key ring or door mat...
I still have my framed picture of Doug Hill. Seems appropriate as a gag gift!
You are the greatest sales force in the world! Now sale more so I can make more to catch up those millions I lost on my fine! Doug!

Warm weather, rain helps corn, soybeansIowa preliminary weather summary given
DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey today commented on the Iowa crop progress and condition report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.
"The warm temperatures and needed precipitation last week helped both corn and bean crops. The crop remains in very good condition overall, with 75 percent of corn and 73 percent of beans in good to excellent condition," Northey said.
The report, released weekly from April through October also is available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship's website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov or on USDA's site at www.nass.usda.gov/ia.
The crop report states:
Much-needed precipitation limited fieldwork to 4.2 days suitable across Iowa during the week ending Aug. 24, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Above normal temperatures during the week aided crop development. Activities for the week included spraying for insects, baling hay, and hauling grain.
Topsoil moisture levels improved and rated 4 percent very short, 19 percent short, 73 percent adequate, and 4 percent surplus.
Subsoil moisture levels rated 4 percent very short, 21 percent short, 73 percent adequate, and 2 percent surplus.
Eighty-eight percent of Iowa's corn crop was in the dough stage or beyond, 17 days ahead of last year and eight days ahead of the five-year average. Corn crop in the dent stage reached 33 percent, 25 percentage points above the previous year, but 9 points below normal. Three-quarters of the corn acreage was reported in good to excellent condition.
Ninety-four percent of the soybean crop was setting pods or beyond, 13 percentage points above last year and 1 point above average. With a few farmers reporting soybean leaves starting to turn color, 73 percent of the soybean acreage was in good to excellent condition.
Oat harvest for grain was nearing completion, slightly behind the previous year and normal.
With the second cutting of alfalfa hay nearing completion, the third cutting of alfalfa hay was 46 percent complete, 11 percentage points below last year and 18 points below the five-year average. Sixty-four percent of all hay was rated in good to excellent condition.
Pasture condition rated 56 percent good to excellent. Stress on livestock increased this week due to heat and flies.
Iowa preliminary weather summary given
By HARRY HILLAKER
State climatologist, Iowa Department of Agriculture & Land Stewardship
Heat, humidity and rainfall all returned in abundance to Iowa this past reporting week.
Temperatures were above normal throughout the week with the exception of a brief cool-down over the northeast one-half of the state on Wednesday.
This was among the warmer weeks of the year, with readings averaging from 1 to 2 degrees above normal over the far southeast to 6 degrees above normal over the northwest. The statewide average temperature was 4.0 degrees above normal.
Temperature extremes varied from a Wednesday morning low of 56 degrees at Stanley in Buchanan County to afternoon highs of 92 degrees at Sioux City on Thursday and Stanley on Friday.
The week began dry on Aug. 17. However, heavy rain fell over much of Worth and Mitchell counties the early morning of Aug. 18, with lighter rains over the northeast one-third of the state. Rain was confined Aug. 19 to extreme southeast Iowa, and Wednesday brought rain over a large area from west central to southeast Iowa. Thursday saw rain fall over much of the northeast two-thirds of the state, and Friday brought scattered thunderstorms to the southern two-thirds of Iowa. Finally, Saturday brought rain statewide with greatest amounts over south central Iowa.
Weekly rain totals varied from 0.33 inches at Persia in Harrison County and 0.35 inches at Blockton in Taylor County to 7 inches at Greenfield and 5.97 inches at Saint Ansgar in Mitchell County.
The statewide average rainfall was 1.85 inches or double the weekly normal of 0.93 inches.
This was Iowa's wettest week in seven weeks.

We proudly present the group Yaran who will conclude our trilogy of concerts 'Notes of Freedom' with the music of Iran. The leader of the group, Mojtaba Yahya, blends traditional Iranian music with his own original compositions. Mojtaba learnt to play the tar and the setar (two Persian lutes) with the masters of these instruments, Ahmad Ebadi et Houshang Zarif.
He has worked with well known singers such as Iraj, Goudarzi, etc, in Iran. But his music has been subjected several times to censorship. His major concert of "Shabe Barani" with Iraj was forbidden and several of his albums such as "Shahede Aflaki" et "Royaye Shab" can no longer be played. The female singer Anjela participated in the second album and it was this collaboration that the authorities used to justify banning their album.
These events convinced them to leave their country to play their music elsewhere. So it was in Belgium that they founded the group "Yaran" with other Iranian musicians in Europe. And for this project, they have added the female singer Helen Yasa.

North Bay, a city in Northeastern Ontario, Canada, is situated on the shore of Lake Nipissing. Over 50,000 people live in the "Gateway to the North," enjoying its proximity to nature and numerous activities on the lake. The arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1882 introduced activity to the area, and the town was established in 1891. It became an important center for lumber, mining, and transportation, which was essential to its population growth. Today, North Bay enjoys many local sports teams, a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities, and a diverse economy.
Nature enthusiasts will enjoy all that North Bay has to offer. Hike to Duchesnay Falls, which is a relatively easy hike to a rewarding finish. There are several other hiking trails nearby as well.

North Bay several museums which honor its military and economic heritage. The Canadian Forces Museum of Aerospace Defense has artifacts from World War II to the Cold War. Discovery North Bay is a quaint museum inside of an old train station. The model trains and interactive exhibits make it a good family attraction.
The largest city in Northern Ontario, Greater Sudbury, is an hour-and-a-half drive from North Bay. This urban destination is situated around 300 lakes, making it the ideal destination for everybody in your party. The Bell Park Walkway and Boardwalk takes visitors around Ramsay Lake. There are also different options for eating along the way at the north end of the park.

OFFICIALS at a cricket club have vowed to bounce back with plans for a £50,000 new pavilion and major ground improvements.
Etherley CC, near Bishop Auckland, was rocked by a late-night stabbing incident on Boxing Day that resulted in the club having its premises licence suspended, preventing non-members from using the bar.
It was the second major incident at the club, following a serious assault at a charity event last June.
Loading article content
However, youth development officer John Raw, told a meeting of Etherley Parish Council these were isolated incidents which had damaged the club's reputation.
"I want to reassure you there are a lot of really good things going on at the club – we are doing all we can," he told members.
He said the bar remained open to members and was being managed by the four-strong committee.
Etherley doesn't currently run a senior team, but Mr Raw said the club's junior section remained buoyant, with dozens of children attending winter nets in preparation for the coming season's under-11 and under-13 competitions.
In addition, he said the club boasted 127 members for 2013.
"We have been really well supported by the local community," he said.
Mr Raw said a £50,000 bid was due to be submitted to the national Inspired Facilities fund to help pay for a new pavilion.
"There is also money available through Sport England to bring former playing fields back into use.
"I am working on trying to get the former football pitch next to the cricket field back into use – and hopefully then we can attract a football team to play there."
Mr Raw said the football pitch was currently "marshland" and as a result, this was now starting to affect the cricket field.
He said it would cost £18,000 to bring the football pitch back to a useable state and a further £18,000 for better drainage of the cricket field.
"We are doing the best we can – we have not packed up our bags," he said.
Parish council chairman Peter Ray referred to previous problems at the club, but Mr Raw said that apart from the two incidents highlighted at the licensing meeting, he was unaware of any others.
He said a meeting was due to take place with Durham County Council licensing officials prior to a review of the licence suspension on January 24.

London - An IRA terror cell behind a string of 1970s bombings compiled lists of targets including Buckingham Palace and other top London attractions, secret files released on Wednesday showed.
British police found documents containing the details when they raided a north London flat used as an Irish Republican Army bomb factory following a December 1975 IRA siege in the city which saw the four-man cell captured.
A list of the potential targets, released on Wednesday by the National Archives, was drawn up for then-prime minister Harold Wilson.
They included the Queen's Gallery in Buckingham Palace - the official residence of Queen Elizabeth II, the British Museum, the Stock Exchange, the National Gallery, the Imperial War Museum, the Tate Gallery and University College London.
Prisons, power stations, water pumping stations and sewage works around the capital were also listed.
IRA paramilitaries from 1969 went on a 30-year campaign of attacks, mainly in Northern Ireland and England, killing around 1 800 people.
In a covering letter, civil servant Bill Innes stressed it was not a "death list".
"It is a compilation of a vast amount of low-grade 'intelligence' material found in the flat, which has yet to be assessed and evaluated," he wrote.
In a handwritten note, Wilson said the information was "scrappy", pointing out that some details were out of date.
He urged police to verify the information, writing: "No doubt they will check to see how many are dead, or changed jobs or address - as a guide to age of each piece of paper."
The prime minister wrote "Yes" beside a request that the contents should not be revealed to those named on the list.
The four IRA men involved conducted a wave of bombings and murders between 1974 and 1975.
They were captured after the December 1975 siege and jailed for life in 1977.
The four were released in 1999 as part of the Good Friday Agreement, which largely ended the 30 years of violence in Northern Ireland, known as The Troubles.

DAYTONA BEACH -- Rookie Greg Biffle played the fuel strategy game and won Saturday night in the Pepsi 400 at Daytona International Speedway.
Biffle ducked into the pits to top off his gas tank under caution on lap 79 of the 160-lap race. That gave him just enough to make it the rest of the way on one more stop and cost favorites Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Michael Waltrip a shot at another restrictor-plate victory.
The former Busch Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck champion was being pressured by former series champion Bobby Labonte at the end, but Labonte suddenly slowed coming through turn 2 on the final lap, out of gas.
Jeff Burton, Biffle's Roush Racing teammate, running the same fuel strategy, finished second, 4.102 seconds -- about 20 car-lengths -- behind the winner's Ford Taurus.
"Just before it went back to green (on lap 79), I saw a bunch of guys going in and I told (crew chief Randy Goss) and he said, 'Come on in.' That's what won us the race," Biffle said.
The winner also gave a lot of the credit to series points leader Matt Kenseth, another Roush entry, who ran second and kept Labonte behind him until Kenseth had to pit for a splash of gas at the end of lap 156.
Kenseth got back out fast enough to finish sixth, just behind Labonte, who coasted to the finish line. Ricky Rudd finished third.
Biffle got the opportunity to try a fuel economy run because the race was slowed by only two cautions for a total of 10 laps and none in the last 81 laps.
"I figured Bobby was going to get me there at the end," Biffle said. "He's got a lot of experience at these superspeedways. This is my first year in these cars and this thing was really loose. He just didn't have anybody to help him."
Dale Earnhardt Inc., teammates Earnhardt and Waltrip came into the race as heavy favorites, having won eight of the last 10 races at Daytona and Talladega, the two big tracks where NASCAR requires the carburetor restrictor plates to keep the cars under 200 mph.
But both of them stayed on the track when the other cars ducked in to top off for fuel and had to make an extra stop. Earnhardt, who appeared to have the strongest car in the field and led two times for 43 laps, finished seventh, while Waltrip, coming up well short of his third straight Daytona win, wound up 11th.
Kevin Harvick, who started from the front row and led three times for 54 laps, also got caught by the fuel strategy and finished ninth, as did four-time Daytona winner Jeff Gordon, who was 14th.
Biffle's first Winston Cup victory came in his 24th Cup start and is only his second top-10 finish. His best previous result was fifth at Bristol in March.
The winner, who led the last 21 laps after taking the lead when most of the fastest cars pitted, averaged 160.109 mph.
With the cars running in big packs, there is usually at least one big crash in every plate race. The big one Saturday night, involving seven cars, came on lap 74 when Kurt Busch cut down his right rear tire and slid sideways coming off turn 2 in the middle of the field.
Robby Gordon, winner of the road race two weeks ago in Sonoma, Calif., hit the brakes hard, but got hit in the rear by Mike Wallace and slammed nose-first into the wall.Pole-winner Steve Park, Joe Nemechek, Ricky Craven and Jamie McMurray also got caught up in the melee.
"We were a victim. Four times a year we race on these restrictor-plate tracks, and you have to expect it when you least expect it, and that was the case here," Craven said. "I really didn't expect that to happen on new tires among the leaders."

The research was presented today at the 225th national meeting of the American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society, held this week in New Orleans.
"One of the biggest problems with using eye drops to deliver medication to the eyes is that about 95 percent of the medication goes where it's not needed," said Anuj Chauhan, Ph.D., one of the authors of the study.
He said that eye drops applied topically mix with tears, which then drain into the nasal cavity and from there, get into the bloodstream and to other organs, where the drugs can cause serious side effects. For example, Timolol, used to treat glaucoma, can cause heart problems. But drugs contained in a contact lens could be released slowly enough to stay in the eye.
Chauhan and his graduate student and coauthor, Derya Gulsen, have found a way to encapsulate a drug in nanoparticles -- tiny particles much smaller than the eye can see -- which can then be mixed into the contact lens matrix during manufacturing of the lens.
In theory, the disposable, drug-laden contact lenses could be worn for up to two weeks, steadily delivering a supply of the drug directly to the eye where it's needed. Rather than being exposed to a sudden high dose of medication -- from an eye drop, for example -- the patient gets the right amount of medicine all the time.
The same lenses could be used to correct vision while delivering medication. And for a person whose vision doesn't need to be corrected, the lenses could be made without correction.
Chauhan said the process could also be used to incorporate antibiotics into the matrix of a lens, making an extended-wear lens that would leave its wearer less vulnerable to bacterial infections -- a chief drawback of such lenses today.
Other researchers have tried getting drugs into contact lenses, either by soaking the lenses in a drug solution or trapping the drug in a hollow cavity between two pieces of lens material. "But contact lenses soaked in drug solutions are not very effective at delivering medications for extended periods of time," Chauhan said. "Our approach allows us great flexibility in designing controlled drug delivery vehicles that can be tailored to different drugs, but are also effective for extended periods of time."
The lenses are in the very early engineering design stages and have not been tested clinically. "We're in the very preliminary stages of developing this technology right now," Chauhan says. No in vitro or animal testing has yet been done.
The paper on this research, COLL 41, will be presented at 4:00 p.m., Sunday, March 23, at the Morial Convention Center, Room 288, during the symposium, "ACS Award in Colloid and Surface Chemistry Symposium Honoring Clay Radke: Interfacial Phenomena in Biological and Biomedical Systems."
Anuj Chauhan Ph.D., is an assistant professor of chemical engineering in the Chemical Engineering Department at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Fla.
Derya Gulsen is a graduate student in the Chemical Engineering Department at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Fla.
