ARCHIVED: Research File System (RFS) at Indiana University
On this page:
System retirement
UITS will decommission the Research File System (RFS) the week of January 2, 2017. Given the age of the system's hardware, a recent decline in development of the OpenAFS file system, and other limitations, the UITS Research Storage team has determined the RFS will be unable in the future to reliably provide the high levels of storage capacity, security, and performance that Indiana University researchers require.
Retirement of the RFS is following this timeline:
- Week of May 9, 2016: The option to create new RFS accounts was removed from the IU Access Management System.
- Week of August 1, 2016: RFS accounts not updated since January 1, 2015, or earlier became read-only.
- Week of August 8, 2016: RFS accounts not updated since January 1, 2016, or earlier became read-only.
- Week of August 15, 2016: Remaining active accounts were evaluated.
- Monday, October 17, 2016: Personal RFS accounts not updated since August 15, 2016, and projects not updated this year became read-only.
- Monday, November 14, 2016: Remaining active accounts (with few exceptions) became read-only.
- Week of January 2, 2017: RFS will be officially decommissioned and no longer accessible to users
Research Storage staff have notified RFS users regarding best practices and recommendations for migrating their data. Research Storage also recommends consulting your local IT Pro to determine the best strategy for migrating your data. You must plan to migrate your data well in advance of the target dates indicated in the RFS retirement timeline.
For many users, particularly those who frequently share files or use desktop productivity applications (e.g., Microsoft Office), the IU Box service is a suitable replacement for RFS. For users working with sensitive data, Box at IU provides two special types of accounts:
- Box Health Data Accounts: To use Box at IU for storing and sharing research data containing protected health information (PHI), you must use a Box Health Data Account (BHDA). BHDAs are set up, monitored, and audited by Clinical Affairs IT Service (CAITS).
- Box Entrusted Data Accounts: To use Box at IU for storing and sharing non-health-related institutional data classified as Restricted, UITS recommends using a Box Entrusted Data Account (BEDA).
For more, see:
- At IU, how do I request a Box account for use with sensitive data?
- What types of data are appropriate for my IU Box account?
- Protecting sensitive data in Box
If you have questions about migrating RFS data, email the Research Storage group. If you have questions about the IU Box service, contact your campus Support Center.

- OpenAFS client: The OpenAFS client is a somewhat advanced tool that works best under Linux, but Windows and OS X versions are also available. To use the OpenAFS client to connect to the RFS, you also must install a Kerberos 5 client. For instructions, see:
- ARCHIVED: At IU, how do I install and configure OpenAFS on my Unix workstation for use with the RFS?
- ARCHIVED: At IU, how do I install and configure OpenAFS on my Mac OS X computer for use with the RFS?
- ARCHIVED: At IU, how do I install and configure OpenAFS on my Windows workstation for use with the RFS?
Working with data containing PHI
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) established rules protecting the privacy and security of individually identifiable health information. The HIPAA Privacy Rule and Security Rule set national standards requiring organizations and individuals to implement certain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected health information (PHI).
This system meets certain requirements established in the HIPAA Security Rule that enable its use for research involving data that contain protected health information (PHI). You may use this resource for research involving data that contain PHI only if you institute additional administrative, physical, and technical safeguards that complement those UITS already has in place.
For more, see When using UITS Research Technologies systems and services, what are my legal responsibilities for protecting the privacy and security of data containing protected health information (PHI)?
If you need help or have questions, contact UITS HIPAA Consulting.
The RFS is maintained by the Research Storage team. If you have questions or need help, email Research Storage.

The last we heard about Guy Moshe's "Bunraku", it was being prepped for Fantastic Fest 2010 and was making the festival rounds. This, I believe, is the first trailer we've ever seen for it, which is surprising given a cast that includes Josh Harnett, Woody Harrelson, Ron Perlman, Demi Moore, and Kevin McKidd. As expected, the film is clearly a stylish action movie set in some alternate universe with a lot of "Sin City"-esque green screen work and silly character names like "The Drifter" and "Killer No. 2". The trailer is, well, certainly colorful.
The story of a young man who has spent his life searching for revenge only to find himself up against a bigger challenge than he originally bargained for.
When can you expect to see it in theaters or on DVD? Your guess is as good as mine, but waiting for it to go straight to DVD is probably your best bet.

Cairo - Egypt's ambassador to the United States says Hosni Mubarak may be in "bad health," the first word on the 82-year-old ousted president's health.Speaking on Monday on NBC's "Today" programme, Sameh Shoukry said he had received information that Mubarak was "possibly in somewhat of bad health". He said he could not be more specific.Two Cairo newspapers on Monday said Mubarak, forced to step down on Friday after an 18-day democracy uprising, was refusing to take medication, depressed and repeatedly passing out at his residence in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. There was no immediate confirmation of the reports.Mubarak had surgery in Germany last year to remove his gallbladder.
Gees this dude is old, just 5 years younger than Bob. i think its a generation thing to stay in power..
Mubarak resigned on 11 Feb 2011 i.e. 11-II-11. The number 11 is associated with many world events (9/11, end of WWII etc.) so one could argue that Mubarak's resignation was not caused by the citizens of Egypt, but was orchestrated by evil, faceless individuals intent on fulfilling a sinister master plan...
ag shame
Why is he in a resort? Spending and enjoying money looted from Egyptian coffers over 3 decades?
So? Who cares? They wanted him out so I expect they are quite unconcerned about his health. Perhaps he can retire in Zim. Birds of a feather.
He is one sick puppy!
"Mubarak may be 'in bad health'"
NO! You think? This fool just got his ASS handed to him and you think he's doing great?
Now if only we could get the low IQ portion of the SA populace (the ANC voters) to WAKE UP and throw the ones causing their lives to be miserable out of office!
The thing is, as soon as you are "caught", be your name Dewani, Shaik or Mubarak, the forces of nature make you sick and of course this is no fault of their own!! How can people be so heartless and not understand the pressures these folk are under??
Oh, my gallbladder was also removed. Ek gaan nou siek gooi, want ek is nie lus vir werk nie!!!!
I am sure he is ill,must be really concerned about all his bank accounts being frozen,and the crimes against humanity commited.Being the richest man one day and all of a sudden loosing your 70 billion fortune in less than a year, will make anyone sick.
are we supposed to feel sorry for this fool?

Boy shot in town of Sharon identified, declared brain dead
SHARON—Two boys tied to a town of Sharon shooting that left one of them brain dead were friends, a Walworth County official said.
The 11-year-old boy shot in the head near Sharon on Wednesday was identified Thursday morning as Eric Gutierrez.
The other boy, whom investigators are calling a witness, is 13 years old, according to a press release. His name is not being released.
Eric was declared brain dead at 12:38 a.m. Thursday, said David Fladten, Walworth County deputy coroner.
"He's been declared brain dead but not clinically dead," Deputy Coroner Thomas Miller said.
He remained on life support Thursday at Mercy Hospital and Trauma Center in Janesville, Miller said.
"The family gets the doctor to make that declaration that he is brain dead, and then they have decisions to make after that, the family, for possible donations and things like that, but he's just on life support, now," Miller said.
Fladten, the deputy coroner in charge of the case, said Thursday morning he not yet spoken with the family.
"It's technically not a coroner's case, yet. It doesn't become our case until the child is actually declared clinically dead," Fladten said.
Fladten said he couldn't comment on whether the family is considering donating Eric's organs, but he agreed that is the most common reason why a body would be kept on life support after a declaration of brain death.
Eric, who lived in the town of Sharon, will remain on life support for a couple days, and his organs will be donated after matches are found, according to a Wednesday post on his mother's Facebook page.
Rebecca Galarza, Eric's mother, wrote on Facebook there is "no chance of a recovery" from the gunshot wound to her son's forehead.
Her Facebook page includes photos of her son in his hospital bed.
Authorities continue to investigate the shooting reported at 12:33 p.m. Wednesday.
Walworth County sheriff's deputies and Sharon police responded to a 911 call of a person shot in the head in a wooded area behind a home at N1602 County K, Undersheriff Kurt Picknell said Wednesday.
They found a juvenile male with a gunshot wound to the head and applied first aid until Sharon Rescue arrived and transported the boy to the hospital in Janesville, Picknell said.
Sheriff David Graves said more than one handgun was recovered by investigators at the scene.
Other pieces of evidence also were collected, but Picknell would not comment on specifics.
Deputies on Wednesday afternoon were speaking to the 13-year-old, to both families and to others with information about the case, Picknell said.
The 13-year-old witness at the home where the incident occurred, Picknell said Thursday afternoon.
Graves said Thursday morning investigators were reviewing evidence including statements from the 13-year-old.
"Right now, he is just a witness," Graves said.
"All the evidence—we're going through it to try to figure out exactly what happened," Graves said.
The circumstances of the shooting have yet to be released.
Picknell would not comment on who fired the shot that injured Eric.
Investigators are working to determine the number of shots fired and if the boys had firearms safety training, Picknell said.
Eric was not playing with guns, and his family believes he was shot accidentally, Galarza wrote on her Facebook page.
Eric leaves behind two sisters, two brothers, a mother and father, according to information on a website created to collect donations to cover funeral costs.
Family and friends describe Eric in various website posts as an "angel" and "great kid" who "will be missed but never forgotten."

Respectful Maternity Care
Respectful maternity care (RMC) is a universal human right that is due to every childbearing woman in every health system. Women's experiences with maternity caregivers can empower and comfort them, or inflict lasting damage and emotional trauma. While many interventions aim to improve access to skilled birth care, the quality of relationships with caregivers during maternity care has received less attention. Evidence suggests that in countries with high maternal mortality, the fear of disrespect and abuse that women often encounter in facility-based maternity care is a more powerful deterrent to use of skilled care than commonly recognized barriers such as cost or distance.
In 2011, WRA launched a global campaign to promote a clear standard for RMC that is rooted in international human rights. Working with other global organizations, WRA produced a ground breaking consensus document, the Respectful Maternity Care Charter: the Universal Rights of Childbearing Women, which demonstrates the legitimate place of maternal health rights in the broader context of human rights. In 2015, White Ribbon Alliance continues to build visibility and coverage of this issue, and envisions a world in which a woman's right to RMC is embedded at all levels of maternal health systems.
Since its development, the RMC Charter has been translated into eight languages and is being used globally to talk about the problem of disrespect and abuse during maternity care. It is also being used as a tool to educate health workers about maternity care and human rights, and to raise awareness of the problem in a way that avoids blaming and shaming. To support this effort, WRA produced a range of materials that include guidebooks, infographics, films, and presentations to help increase visibility of this issue. Once the Charter gained momentum, it was endorsed by the World Health Organization, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics, and the International Confederation of Midwives.

Every beauty pageant contestant has to have two big things in her favor. besides those two "Reasons" there is also the talent contest. Some do card tricks. Others sinf opera. While still more twirl and stroke batons.
Sarah Palin played the flute and while she pursed her voluptous lips around the aperture of the long stiff instrument, Alaskan judges sat as if frozen in time.Miss Wasilla, Alaska population 6,000 not counting moose did not win Miss Alaska that year but one judge the honorary John Mccain never forgot that sight. Later in the hotel room he told the contestant that she played a mean skin flute and that some day it would pay off!
Well that day has come as the former Miss wasilla, Alaska, TV sportscaster, snowmobile renter, Wasilla City Council Woman, and Alska Governor for almost two years, has fulfilled the prophetic words of the POW beauty pageant judge! Sarah it is true will suck hard as a VPILF candie!

In Nottingham, Morningside, and a few other places, they're known as instances of "Hancock's cursor down operator" as documented here: http://sneezy.cs.nott.ac.uk/containers/blog/?p=20 More Haskellily than that blog article, the general form is (more or less, and therein lies another story...) down :: Deriv f f' => f x -> f (x, f' x) where Deriv is the usual differential operator calculating from a container its type of one-hole contexts. The effect of down is to decorate each x-element of an (f x)-structure with its own context, thus calculating the collection of ways in which one can visit an element, zipper style. The name makes sense in the context where you're navigating some tree structure given by the fixpoint of f, but "select" is probably a less loaded choice. This generalisation may be too far away from what looks like (and is) a handy pair of list functions, so I wouldn't blame anyone from adding them to the library largely as is. I just thought I'd mention the wedge of which they are the thin end. Second things first: > -- | The 'selectSplit' function takes a list and produces a list of > -- triples consisting of a prefix of the list, the element after it, > -- and the remainder of the list. > selectSplit :: [a] -> [([a],a,[a])] > selectSplit [] = [] > selectSplit (x:xs) = ([],x,xs) : [(x:lys,y,rys) | (lys,y,rys) <- > selectSplit xs] This guy corresponds to instance Deriv [] (Prod [] []) where newtype Prod f g x = Prod (f x, g x) That is, a one-hole context in a list is a pair of lists---the elements before the hole, the elements after the hole. > -- | The 'select' function takes a list and produces a list of pairs > -- consisting of an element of the list together with a list of the > -- remaining elements. > select :: [a] -> [(a,[a])] > select [] = [] > select (x:xs) = (x,xs) : [(y,x:ys) | (y,ys) <- select xs] This one, as confirmed by its example usage > As a side note, the state transformer makes it relatively easy to pick > n elements using this: > pick n = runStateT . replicateM n . StateT $ select is somehow seeing lists as *bags*, ie, finite multisets, or lists under arbitrary permutation. newtype Bag x = Bag [x] The power series expansion of Bag is an old pal: Bag x = 1 + x + x^2/2! + x^3/3! + ... representing the choice of an n-tuple, but not distingushing the n! ways in which it can be ordered. Correspondingly instance Deriv Bag Bag a one-hole context in a jumbled collection of elements is a jumbled collection of the remaining elements. > If the order of the pairs in the MTL is fixed in the future in order > to better reflect the available instances of Functor/etc., at that > point we may want to consider flipping the pairs in the result of > select to match. It's tempting to suggest something like data Deriv f f' => Selection f f' x = x :@ f' x and then select :: Deriv f f' => f x -> f (Selection f f' x) but it may be too grotty for normal use. My motivation is to get my hands on the fact that Deriv f f' => Comonad (Selection f f') where the comonad operations make sense like this: counit :: Selection f f' x -> x returns the selected element cojoin :: Selection f f' x -> Selection f f' (Selection f f' x) decorates each element in the selection with the context in which *it* would be selected, showing you your possible sideways moves (including staying put, ie, decorating the selected element with its existing context). So, the original plug :: Selection f f' x -> f x is "up", cojoin is "sideways" and select is "down". Er, um, applications of these things? I have some. You can find one in a draft I must get around to putting words in: http://strictlypositive.org/Holes.pdf http://strictlypositive.org/Holes.lhs It's a bit enigmatic at the moment, but basically Lucas Dixon suggested to me that (as people who do a lot of substitution) we might benefit from making it quicker to jump over large closed chunks of terms: from the root of a term, he wanted, in constant time to get one of: (0) a guarantee the term is closed (1) the position of its only variable (2) the node where paths to at least two variables diverge The derivative allows us to build a representation of terms where the root is connected to other interesting points by "tubes": lists of one-hole contexts through closed stuff. The compression algorithm which makes an ordinary term into a tube network makes key usage of Hancock's "down" operator: we're looking for the "all subterms closed but one" pattern, so we want to search the possible decompositions of each node. Perhaps "differentiate" is the right name? Oops. I seem to have got a bit carried away. Apologies Conor

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Vets4Vets, Tucson, AZ, USA
Hello My Name is Kevin Cottrell, I'm an Iraq Veteran from Northern New York. My first time attending a Vets4 Vets workshop was in Sept of 2008 In Stoney Point New York. This was a great experience I meet Able and Johnny from V4Vs. I learned a lot about listening turns in a group and one on one. i learned that i was not alone in the way I was thinking and feeling. I meet 25 different other vets from different areas of the U.S. but we all had the same things in common. I left this workshop with tolls in my tool box that i could use to help me and help others. I returned to college and work with my counselor to start a vets support group and a network of vets on campus. I also took away a network of friends that i can call and talk with on the phone or via email. I have attended several other vet gruops put on by the VA and found them to be less efective in helping me. The greatest outcome from my workshops is the fact I Listen to a fellow Vet and Know that it just helps to listenand aloow them to get rid of that thought that is holding them back.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Helping my fellow vets
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
everything the support from the national office down to my contact that i have from my workshops
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
reach it's goal of help 20,000 vets and then
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

I am 36 weeks pregnant with my second child ( we do not know the sex) and my husband and I cant agree on anything!!!!!!!!!!
We have a 4 year old boy named Matvey ( The Russian version of Matthew) My husband has Russian on his side and Matvey was the name of a beloved uncle. He usually gets called Maty or just M.
For this child we just cant seem to find anything we like!!!
We both like uncommon names but REAL names. He wants to stick with the Russian theme but there is just nothing that I have seen that I am thrilled with!
Names I like that were vetoed or are too popular for my liking:
Aidan ( WAY too popular)
Santiago ( we are NOT hispanic so I dont feel it would work!)
Can you help????? It does NOT have to be a Russian name... just something that goes with Matvey... not popular but not made up!!!! and no M names!
( i posted in girls too!)

This may be just too off trek, BUT...
I am organizing a company department bike tour and I promised to bring some home brew for the apre' ride.
What do you think would be the best beer to brew up; dark, light, fruity, some special recipe?
It has to be the right beer for thirsty riders but something that will appeal to a large audience.
What kind of beer would you like to have at the end of a sixty mile day?
Personally I like Amstel Light. Next in line is Bass Ale, but that stuff is kinda expensive. Get something that will get everybody drunk after 2 or 3, then you will look like the best biker there!! HA HA
For those wondering, I got Amstel light for my birthday, and also, my dad's policy is,"if you don't learn to drink responsibly at home, where are you going to learn?"
So I drink, but no irresponsibly like most adults expect of teens. But then, I never did fit in with teens anyway.
I vote for a pale ale. Might be to bitter for some though. If so, try a Kolsh - German style ale - not as bitter, very drinkable w/o being watered down.
Just started drinking a batch. Shoot me an email if you want the recipe (it's all grain, but I have a formula to convert it to extract if you need it).
[email protected]
Mike and Riderx,
Man, I want to be in YOUR bike club!
Mmm. It all sounds good and reasonable so far.
Raymond, I wish you could join us as well. I'll toast to you. Anybody else want me to toast to them at the apre' tour party?
Rider X:
Sure, I would love the recipe. Please send it to me (e-mail or via the forum message network).
Fubar5, better wait 'till your dad get's transfered (along with your family) overseas before you start drinking. Drinking at 17 will get you in trouble in the States.
Oh well.
Toast to me mike!! And toast to Pete too, and you might not want to forget your doc, oscar.
I didn't know I could get in trouble, I figured since my dad was always with me then everything would be ok, but I believe you, so I'll stop drinking till I'm old enough.
Thanks for lettin me in!!
I find a light bitter with a sg 4.3 -4.5 about right. Any stronger and it gets wobbly.
You can get bikes (from Denmark) specially made to carry barrels of beer around city centres from Brewry to pub. The barrel fits sideways inside the low recumbent-style frame.
Mike - I'll dig up the recipe and eMail you. Going to be brewing a belgian dubble next week.
Rainman - beer (especially homebrew) after biking is almost mandatory ;). I don't belong to a club, but I'm leading a ride next week - 23 miles (MTB) followed by a keg of the local Dunkle. Got to refuel after the ride, right?
Mike W. - I like the sounds of those bikes!
Fubar5, you are soooo right. Amstel Light is definitely the right brew. Okay, I haven't had any home grown brew, but I recently discovered Amstel Light at a conference last year, and that stuff is pretty damn smooth.
Man, I wish I was in your bike club, Mike! That sounds like a lot of fun. I'm sorely due for that stuff. I haven't done any solid drinking since November, so I'd say that I was due... :D
where's your club, I will Join the club, Just give me the direction from Toronto, about the beer I would prefer a Molson Canadian, or Blue Light, I am with you 100% on beer drinking, after a good bike ride, although not to get drunk, just to quench the thirst..:beer:
Actually, Guys (that means you too, Technogirl), I am not part of a biking club. I just arrange tours/rides with friends and future friends. Maybe I should be be in a biking club, but ah well.
Our whole company is going to be off for a week in early summer, so I am trying to organize a bike tour for my department. So far, though, it is pretty skinny on the takers, so I might open it up to other departments.
I managed to score some very nice free lodging for us at the destination. There would be enough room for my department, but not the other departments, so I am in a quandry.
Anyway, BEER; oh that is the stuff after a hard ride. It must be the food value of the beer that makes it so good after a ride. I always drink plenty of water first before beer so that I quench my thirst first and then ENJOY a slow beer. Like Oscar says, you drink it for taste and enjoyment, and try to avoid getting buzzed.
Oh, yeah! The profuse perspiration of extended stenuous exercise causes loss of electolytes like potassium and sodium. Beer is an excellent source of fluid and electrolytes. At least that is what I used to tell my wife when I ran a lot. That's still my story, and I'm sticking to it. Don't bother to refute it with trivialities like chemical analysis. :)
MichaelW, here in south Louisiana, home of boiled crawfish and Mardi Gras, I could probably make money importing those bikes that carry a bottle of beer. Man, that's just a Cajun bottle cage.
ok...i've got two things to say
first of all....i'm not impressed....cause now i want beer.....and i have an exam in 6 hours so i can't drink now.
and second of all.....beer is beer.....especially at the end of a sixty mile day.....any beer will be good when you`re tired like that....even puny light american beer would be good (i don't want to insult anyone...but american beer is really soft, i like good strong beer!)
that is all
once i saw a purple elephant with a bunny's tail....i was scared at first...but then i woke up and all was fine.
Right-oh Gnein! At the end of a day's ride the best beer is a cold beer to rinse off my dusty, pollen encrusted gullet. Now, maybe I'll start getting choosy come round two...
Well, this being Easter weekend and all, I had to start brewing for the bicycle tour that I am organizing for work.
Since the area we will be riding through is famous for it's fruit trees and since the trees should be in flowering bloom during our ride, I decided to make a beer that would reflect the area.
I made hopped apple cider (carbonated) and amber cherry beer. Both were made with juices from fruit of the area we will be traveling.
I've made both in the past and they are fantastic tasting.
Does that sound pretty neat?
Who wants to join us?
Of course! Only in spirit, as I live a bit far away...too bad!
Hey, if you're putting me on about the hopped cider and cherry-beer, after titillating my buds like that, you deserve nothing less than to...well, settle for really cheap beer.
Not to big on the fruit beers myself. Ciders are all right, but they are pretty sweet for my taste. But, as I am a hop head I would be interested in the hopped apple cider. I assume you are talking about hard cider. How much hops and what type did you use?
RiderX, I know what you mean about sweet fruit beers. I don't think they are welcome on a dry throat after a long day's ride either.
I completely ferment my fruit beers "dry" so they are not sweet and use two different kinds of yeast to ferment most of the sugars. The fruit is mostly a bouquet.
As for hops, I use Hallertau which I grow organically in my backyard - bittering the beer just a bit more than the mass produced stuff, but not as much as most home or micro brewers.
This, I hope, will be delicious, nutritious, and refreshing to my bicycle touring friends.
-and, Pete, I'm talking the real deal here.
Has anyone ever had HEMP beer? I've had it once, and I really liked it. I don't drink very often, but if I had a choice I'd look for Rolling Rock...Mmmmh!
You are probably talking about Hempen Ale, made by our local MD company Frederick Brewing. Great summer time beer. They also do one called Hempen Gold.
Guiness, It puts some nut in your balls. But when the funds are short, its all about horse piss beer and getting sh!tty.
I do not agree with consuming alchohol and driving or operating machinery. It impairs judgement, and dulls your reflexes. If you are going to drink do it when you are done whatever it is you are doing.
No one said anything about drinking and biking. It was Drinking THEN biking =)

Corp., Detroit's Conyers Riverside Ford and United Bank of Philadelphia.
1996 The nation's largest black-owned industrial/service companies and auto dealerships generated more than $13 billion in total revenues. Twenty-three BE 100s companies posted revenues of more than $100 million each, with TLC Beatrice International breaking the $2 billion sales barrier.
The death of U.S. Commerce Secretary Ronald H. Brown in a plane crash during a trade mission to Bosnia stunned the entire nation and sent shock waves around the world. The June 1996 issue of BE is dedicated to his memory.
The 1996 BE Companies of the Year: Karl Kani Infinity (a Los Angeles- based apparel maker), Houston's Gulf Freeway Pontiac-GMC Truck and New York's Carver Federal Savings Bank, which joined the NASDAQ Exchange in 1994.
Most revealing quote: "Ron Brown was the best commerce secretary in the history of this country…. He was just an excellent person in terms of expanding the horizons of business for black people. I cannot think of a single segment of the world community that he touched that will not feel a void from this loss." –Thomas J. Burrell, CEO, Burrell Communications, "The Best Commerce Secretary Ever," BE June 1996.
1997 The 25th Annual Report on Black Business reveals a BE 100s list more aggressive and diverse than most could even have imagined in 1973, with sales in excess of $14 billion and more than 55,000 employees.
Not all industries have shared in the progress enjoyed by the industrial/service and auto sales businesses: black commercial banks and thrifts are being tested in a business dominated by giants; black investment banks are scrambling to adjust to a muni-bond market gone bust, and black insurance firms have been whittled down to barely a dozen hardy survivors. Still, the growth and impact of the largest black- owned companies in these and a variety of other industries is undeniable and inexorable.
How far has black business come since the original Top 100 list was published 25 years ago? Well, for one, the top 10 employers on the 1997 BE 100s list provided jobs for more people than all of the original Top 100 companies combined.
Also, the BE 100s long ceased to be synonymous with small business; they are firmly established among the nation's mid-size and emerging corporations. With the company ranked No. 100 on this year s BE INDUSTRIAL/SERVICE 100 generating sales in excess of $20 million, only four of the original Top 100 companies– Motown Industries Johnson Publishing Co., and Fedco Foods Corp.–would qualify for this year's list.
Now that's progress. But it is also true that change comes in cycles and, as is often said, the more things change, the more they remain the same. Consider the words of BE Editor Pat Patterson in the June 1973 issue: "The businesses represented in this special issue mark a milestone in the history of black economic development in this country. Their presence informs us graphically of the distance black enterprise has come and, more importantly, the miles it has yet to travel.

FIRE officials say an explosion involving a tank of nitric acid has injured nine workers at a Rolls-Royce plant near the Indianapolis International Airport.
Captain Mike Pruitt of the Wayne Township Fire Department says a 250-gallon tank of nitric acid exploded about 1.30pm on Friday, releasing a cloud of vapour that left nine workers suffering from acid burns and breathing problems.
Eight of the workers were hospitalised, but Pruitt said none had life-threatening injuries.
One worker was treated at the scene.
Nitric acid is corrosive. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health says the vapour or mist form can irritate the eyes, nose, throat and skin. High concentrations of vapour can severely burn the eyes and skin.
Rolls-Royce has research facilities and an aircraft engine factory in Indianapolis.

Hamblin & Peterson: From Jewish peasant girl to 'Mother of God'
antodav TAMPA, FLSept. 2, 2014 3:11 p.m.
As a Catholic, worship of or prayer to the Virgin Mary was one of the aspects of my religion that I found most uncomfortable, unnecessary, and inappropriate. I never even learned the Hail Mary prayer, and while I sometimes felt like a bad Catholic for not doing so, at the same time I felt like a better Christian. There is no Biblical basis for prayer to or veneration of anyone other than Jesus Christ, who in turn directs all prayers and glory to the Father. "Mariolatry", as this article refers to it, is "interesting", sure. That doesn't make it any less pagan and blasphemous. I'm very grateful that now, as a Latter-Day Saint, prayer to anyone besides the Savior is no longer expected of me—and is, in fact, forbidden. This was one of the main aspects of the religion that helped me to know that it was true and that it was the path that God expected for me to follow.
Craig Clark Boulder, COAug. 12, 2014 4:59 p.m.
Tyler D,
One thing that Mormons, Catholics, and Protestants have in common is that all three think they know what the original Christian Church in New Testament times was like. If they did, they would know that it was not even Christianity as we today understand that term to mean.
Tyler D Meridian, IDAug. 12, 2014 2:59 p.m.
@Craig Clark – "Joseph Smith called it an apostasy. Martin Luther called the Church of Rome a paganized corruption of the pure word."
And yet both Protestants and Mormons use the book (i.e. Bible) that was cobbled together (from hundreds of early Christian writings) at the Council of Nicea by the Catholic Church.
Given both the diversity of early Christianity (which was wiped out by the Orthodox Church) and the antipathy towards the Church in the post-protestant era, I've never been able to wrap my head around this.
Craig Clark Boulder, COAug. 11, 2014 11:03 a.m.
Leonard Wood,
"....It constitutes arguably the clearest evidence of the general apostasy from the teachings of the first century church that took place after the death of the apostles, yet until now LDS authors have said very little about it...."
LDS writers can be more than a little restrained by the tenets of their faith from studying early Christianity as objectively as a secular scholar should. Any scholar coming from a religious background he still adheres to is stymied to a lesser or greater degree.
Joseph Smith called it an apostasy. Martin Luther called the Church of Rome a paganized corruption of the pure word. They were both saying essentially the same thing. But I don't think that terms like apostasy or paganism are helpful to understanding the very complex cultural assimilation that allowed the rising Gentile church to surpass and ultimately eclipse the initial Judean following of Jesus.
Craig Clark Boulder, COAug. 11, 2014 9:32 a.m.
"....Some modern historians claim that pagan beliefs and practices regarding mother goddesses in late antiquity were slowly transferred to Mary, making her, in a sense, a syncretized survival of ancient goddess worship...."
Christianity wouldn't have happened the way it did were it not for beliefs of the ancient world that took it in. Cultural assimilation transformed it from a radical localized Jewish messianic movement into a universal faith that spread across the Mediterranean world. It grew very rapidly and exists today due in no small measure to its adaptability.
skeptic Phoenix, AZAug. 11, 2014 9:16 a.m.
It seems ironic that Mormons speculate over this basic fundamental issue while they profess to have a prophet with direct contact and who talks with god so why not just ask for the reason and answer.
sharrona layton, UTAug. 11, 2014 9:09 a.m.
RE: Cjb, Protoevangelium,the first messianic prophecy.
Genesis 3:15,the "*Seed of the Woman" is a man, and yet in Romans 16:20 he is called the God of peace, which identifies him as the Lord Jesus Christ. The reference to the seed of the woman as Christ is to related to the Virgin birth of the Messiah, as well as the Hypostatic union of the Divine nature with the Human nature of Christ.
"when the fullness of the time was come,God sent forth his Son, 'Made=(ginomai)of a Woman…"(Gal 4:4). A *Unique miracle
Because He was the "*seed of the woman" Jesus was God Incarnate. He was the God-Man(Theantropic). He was human , but he was not fallen sinful. ".. great is the mystery of the incarnation." I Tim 3:16.
"Our Father which art in Heaven with, The supreme being transcends space and time. The first goes to pieces if you begin to apply the literal meaning to it. How can a sexual animal really be our father? How can it be in the sky? The second falls into no such traps. C.S. Lewis.
cjb Bountiful, UTAug. 11, 2014 12:31 a.m.
Re sharrona
Here the angel is telling Mary she shall give birth. And indeed she shall from that times perspective. Once the heavenly father comes and has sexual relations with Mary she will then become pregnant.
I understand this is not the traditional view, but if we are to believe that we are children of God, it is reasonable to suppose that we reproduce in the same manner. Hey opinions about the Bible are diverse, but its not reasonable to suppose that tradition got everything right. Here is a reasonable perspective to consider given the text of the Bible.
sharrona layton, UTAug. 10, 2014 5:33 p.m.
@Cjb,"Isaiah a virgin shall give birth."
Mt 1:23 quotes the Greek LXX Isaiah 7:14: "the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel", which means "God with us"(Jesus).
The Greek word for "virgin" in both the LXX and Mt is parthenos, which means a virgin female.
The Hebrew word in Isaiah 7:14 is almah not virginity. But the spiritual and moral ethos in Hebrew culture assumed that young unmarried girls had no sexual experience. It was assumed that an almah was a virgin.
Alma 7:10.who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of the 'Holy Ghost(*pneuma)'and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.
Luke 1:34 I know not a man? Did Mary lie? … "The 'Holy *Spirit' will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.
RE; "… in the(spiritual) image of God he created them; male and female he created them(Gen 1:27),
E.g..,the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: Gens 3:22
cjb Bountiful, UTAug. 10, 2014 12:20 p.m.
In Isaiah where he prophesies that a virgin shall give birth, the word it comes from actually comes from a word meaning young woman, not someone who hasn't had sexual relations. In the New Testament, the word virgin comes from could mean either young woman or a woman who hasn't had sexual relations.
Point is, it is impossible to show from the Bible that Mary didn't have sexual relations to have Jesus, this is tradition, not Biblical.
On the contrary, the Bible quite likely implies that Mary was not a virgin when she had Jesus in the way we use the word. How can this be? We are the children of God, created in God's image. It is reasonable to assume then that the way we procreate would be the same way God would procreate, through sexual relations. If not they we are not children of God created in God's image, we would be something different.
Wilf 55 SALT LAKE CITY, UTAug. 10, 2014 9:23 a.m.
The authors gave us a nice overview of the past, but missed the modern meaning of Mary in feminist theology. For feminist mariologists, such as Leonardo Boff, Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza, or Rosemary Radford Ruether, Mary represents the female face of God and allows to represent God in female terms. Leonardo Boff even considers Mary as hypostatically united to the Third Person of the Trinity. The connection to the Mormon concept of Mother in Heaven, wife of God, is obvious ("our heavenly parents").
That approach stands in contrast to (mainly male) theologians who reduce the Marial feminine to the function of "mediatrix", a subservient intercessor or advocate. They use that symbolism in favor of patriarchalization, where the male God represents power. But even in popular Marian devotion, Mary has often been more, a symbol of liberation and resistance to male dominion.
Cedarcreek320 Star Valley Ranch, WYAug. 10, 2014 8:31 a.m.
Don't get excited folks. It's just a fairy tale.

Actually Mary WAS born untainted by original sin--everybody is
gmlewis Houston, TXAug. 9, 2014 12:46 p.m.
It demeans the title of Mother to attempt to confer to Mary a higher honor.
Leonard Wood Fairfax, VAAug. 9, 2014 10:58 a.m.
This is an important issue. It constitutes arguably the clearest evidence of the general apostasy from the teachings of the first century church that took place after the death of the apostles, yet until now LDS authors have said very little about it. The authors are to be commended for their thoughtful, well-researched treatment of the subject.

Uni should take urgent action against anti-gay Muslim extremists
Gay Muslim advocate Omar Kuddus demands a swift response to the students who called on gays to be killed for kissing
GSN reported on Tuesday (19 February) about a Manchester student who secretly filmed an extremist Muslim at his Students' Union saying gays should be executed.
Colin Cortbus, a Middle East studies student at the university in north-west England, used a small camera to film the event. It was organized by the Muslim-led Global Aspirations of Women student group.
He asked whether God would agree to gay men being stoned to death. He was told he would.
The chair of the meeting even said if two gay men were to be seen kissing outside the Students' Union building would be justification for the death penalty, calling homosexuality an 'atrocity' and saying she would not feel remorse for them being killed.
Cortbus told them other Muslims wouldn't share such extreme views but were told 'a lot of people would'.
The question I would like to put to the Global Aspirations of Women group is exactly who these 'lot of people' are?
It is totally unacceptable that such extremist views advocating violence, and hatred towards homosexuals are allowed or even exist in modern Britain. Especially when it is falsely made in the name of my religion, Islam, which in its true form, as expressed in the Koran, promotes peace and acceptance.
My views on Islam and homosexuality are well documented on GSN and elsewhere in the media. Put simply homosexuality is not sinful for Muslims.
The meeting's chair stated gay relationships do not lead to 'social cohesion'. But I believe Islam should welcome the love gay and lesbian couples share with each other and allow them to have nikahs, traditional marriage contracts. There's no reference in the Koran stating that should not be allowed.
To be clear to these fanatics, homosexuality is not a sin in the Koran. And during the times of the first Caliphs, no sahabi (companion) of Muhammad could quote a saying or decision relating to those engaging in 'liwat' or 'lutiyya'.
Have the Global Aspirations of Women members and chair actually read the Koran? Their comments are un-Islamic and have no foundation in my religion. I can only assume they have been indoctrinated by fundamentalist extremists and imams who would like their own interpretation of my religion taken as gospel.
What is of further concern to me, not only as a Muslim who feels that my religion is being falsely retranslated but as an advocate and activist, is the group's blatant advocating of hatred, which goes against Britain's laws. We do not live in a Muslim state, nor do we have Sharia law. I do sincerely hope the British police take action against their comments as there can be no doubt they are inciting a hate crime.
It is not only liberal Muslims who need to stand up against this, but also the general population and the university authorities. We must demand justice – particularly that the university ban the group as their comments and actions go against British and Sharia law.
At the moment the Students' Union is investigating. They have assured GSN the statements themselves will take top priority but they are also probing the fact the filming was clandestine. The University of Manchester, meanwhile, refuses to step in at this stage.
But regardless of the fact this video was filmed in secret the individuals in question must be made to stand by their statements and prosecuted for spreading their hate. I am sorry but there is no room for discussion on that, either by the police or the university authorities.
Colin Cortbus sent a statement to me, saying: 'The softly-softly approach by some student unions and politicians towards extremist incitement has to end. We should be proud of the universal values of democracy, liberty and equality and have a duty to rigorously defend them from extremists of all natures and political camps (including the far-right delusionists who want to ban the burqa).
'I was deeply disappointed that the first thing Student Union officer Cat Gray mentioned when commenting on the issue was the secret filming, not the extremist homophobic incitement. Individuals in her position should show somewhat more backbone and address the vile filth these extremists spouted more directly.
'The group exposed in my videos is not reflective of the values of mainstream Muslims in this country.
'The idea of punishing or banning homosexuality has virtually no roots in the pluralist and multifaceted Islamic tradition, but is rooted in the absurd teachings of radical reactionary modernists such as Said Qutb, Maududi and Qaradawi, who are also closely linked to abhorrent modern islamicised anti-semitism.
The vast amount of debate this news has generated has indicated the disgust people feel for this group's views. There's been a suggestion we should stage a mass gay kissing 'flash mob' event outside the university. That took the words right out of my mouth – Manchester University needs a mass demonstration to show there is nothing wrong with being a gay Muslim, like myself. We have to illustrate to those who think they are holier than thou that its their behavior that is unacceptable and will not be condoned.
I would like to see someone try to stone me to death for taking part in such an action as the laws of this land are only those that need to be respected.
As someone pointed out on the GSN report 'Attempting to argue with religious teachings on the ground of theology will be in vain. However, building secular societies will not. Civic laws and religious teachings are competing to instruct us how we should conduct our lives. The only way to ensure everybody gets treated fairly is to establish a secular society based on sound judicial systems. Religion, of any kind, should be subject to legal regulation and, when breaching civic law, subject to prosecution.'
It's important to remember, Sharia law is only for Muslims and Muslims only. As Sharia law does not apply to non-Muslims, no Muslim can enforce such laws onto others of another faith and tell them how to behave or conduct themselves. Sadly this is something a minority of young Muslims forget, fail to comprehend, or simply have not been taught by their imams.
Sharia also forbids Muslims from taking the law into our own hands, even in an Islamic country.
What the Muslim youth must be reminded by the imams is we are all members of one nation, a multicultural, multi-faith country. In Britain the laws of the land prohibit discrimination, hatred and intolerance. Those are the laws we all must obey.
But there is some hope. In the recent vote to introduce gay marriage in England and Wales, eight Muslim Members of Parliament voted in favor, only one voted against and two abstained. It shows British Muslims attitudes on LGBT issues are changing and the old views no longer have a place in modern Islamic culture.

Nishikori becomes first Japanese to win Barcelona Open
Kei Nishikori claimed his fifth career title as he became the first Japanese player to win the Barcelona Open on Sunday with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Santiago Giraldo.
Nishikori dropped his opening service game against Giraldo, who was facing the biggest match of his career, but quickly found his rhythm and broke back with the unseeded Colombian losing his serve on a double fault following an argument with the umpire over a line call that seemed to unsettle him.
The fourth-seeded Nishikori went on to win eight straight games to claim the first set and go 2-0 up in the second. He broke twice more on his way to victory, while Giraldo, who had knocked out Nicolas Almagro in the semi-finals, made five double…

At the heart of the reforming UN system is the "Delivering as One" initiative at country-level. Piloted in eight Delivering as One countries, the UN aims at working together in a more effective and coherent manner, with increased levels of national ownership. This experience has since inspired a number of countries to follow suite.

Ray Kurzweil is one of my favorite people-- okay, one of my favorite authors and futurists at least blogged by Joyce Schwarz, JCOM, www.joycecom.com, marketing & biz dev for emerging entertainment.
That's why I'm excited to discover that he'll be doing a keynote at the Game Developers Conference GDC in San Francisco on Thursday, February 21, 2008. www.gdconf.com.
Futurist Ray Kurzweil to keynote at the GDC Conference, Friday, Feb 21. Session: The Next 20 Years of GamingFebruary 21st, 10:30AM - 11:30AM,Esplanade Ballroom, Moscone Center, South Hall. San Francisco.
Here's what CNET has to say about the upcoming keynote by Kurzweil: Future of video game industry taking shapeCNET News.com, CA - Feb 18, 2008When Ray Kurzweil, the author of The Singularity is Near and one of the most noted futurists around, takes the stage at GDC 2008 in San Francisco on ...
JOYCE SCHWARZ INTERVIEW RAY KURZWEIL -- this blogger Joyce Schwarz was fortunate to interview Ray Kurzweil when he keynoted with yes, KERMIT the Frog at Siggraph several years ago -- here is an excerpt from that story -- which is rather amazingly posted on Kurzweil's website!
Click on JPEG to see story Joyce Schwarz wrote on Ray Kurzweil speaking at Siggraph along side Kermit the Frog...who upstaged him!
Are You Ready for a Virtual Reality?
"Never work with kids or dogs" was WC Fields' advice to fellow actors. But he forgot to mention amphibians! Kermit the Frog upstaged the keynote speaker at the opening keynote to Siggraph 2000 in New Orleans. Ray Kurzweil, renowned inventor and author of "The Age of Spiritual Machines" was preceded on the dais by a live presentation by America's favorite "green guy" who walked and talked and charmed the audience in real time.
Kurzweil's speech "The Human-Machine Merger: Why We will Spend Most of Our Time in Virtual Reality in the 21st Century," was a stunner but the accompanying powerpoint slides were no match for the magic of the new Hollywood. Two Los Angeles-based firms--Performance Capture Studios and Jim Henson's "Creature Shop"--created Kermit's computer graphics' performance.
Backstage after the event, the charismatic and iconoclastic Kurzweil turned to the "techies" and asked what they might do to project him into a virtual world like the ones he envisions most of us will have available to us in the next decade. The CEO and founder of Kurzweil Technologies, Inc. won the 1999 National Medal of Technology (the nation's highest tech honor) and was named Inventor of the Year by MIT. He's probably best known for his text-to-speech synthesis work, creation of the first OCD Flatbed Scanner and his controversial proclamation that machines will have the computational power of human beings and even exceed them by 2020.
We will enter a shared virtual visual and auditory environment where we are always plugged in and connected, he promises. Web sites will become fully immersive experiences for a few thousand best friends, he maintains. What was surprising is that all too often, we think of VR as only "made-up" mythical experiences and worlds. Kurzweil assures us that the VR worlds he envisions will enable "real-time" experiences such as education, work and not just play. After all, we've had a form of virtual reality for 100 years--and that's been the telephone. Yes, when people first talked on that "machine" they were spellbound by how it was possible to be "virtually together" with another person miles away. Too often we think of virtual worlds where things are "not true," he noted. Yet, we make real agreements with real people via phone today and have real experiences in real-time worldwide through the evolution of modern telephony.
"If you work on technologies, you need to anticipate where technologies are going," Kurzweil says. And, of course, he reminded the audience that the only way to anticipate the future is to create it.

Branded Media Marketing - TV, Film, Broadband, Podcasting & Blogging, Mobile, Music and Games – Reinventing the Commerce & Media Model
by Joyce Schwarz blogging at www.hollywood2020.blogs.com. Yes, that rather long headline is the subject of the panel that this blogger will be on today at Digital Hollywood@CES. See previous post for more details: Hollywood2020
Here's the official description of the branded marketing panel: With the attention of the consumer being assaulted by a host of great technologies – from games and broadband to PRVs - devices as well as content programming, the task of the client, the agency and content provider raising their message above the clutter is daunting.
The panel description goes on to note that with every challenge, however there exists the opportunity to reinvent the process, and in the evolving world of branded media marketing, the creativity at hand is impressive. The industry's TV, music, wireless, film and broadband marketing teams are reinventing the world of entertainment, branding and marketing. In this session, we will gain further insight into the structures of our industry's future. Yep, and that's just the description.
Defining Branded Media Marketing..okay, just what is branded media marketing....as you can see in the last couple of sentences of the description above (the bold faced info) what we're really talking about is a new mix of entertainment, branding and marketing. Or even what we might today call a mash-up.
This panel often referred to on Google entries as the panel with the very long name is getting rather notorious for the controversy it seems to raise among the panelists themselves and the audience. As many of you know who have read my books and articles, I believe one of the reasons for that discussion is that we're basically talking about two 100 year old industries --- Advertising and Hollywood suddenly caught smack in the eye of the tornado of change!
After the panel, I'll be reporting on what diverse comments that we are able to stir up in 90 minutes. Meanwhile, if you'd like to take a look at some of my takes on branded media marketing. Check out a few of my past articles on imediaconnection.com.
Do a search on Google for "Joyce Schwarz" & imediaconnection...and you'll see a group of articles on such topics as Pro-sumers, the Tivolution, Branded Virtual Worlds & Videopolis.

ZITS by Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman is the lead comic strip on the LA TIMES Sunday COMICS section www.kingfeatures.com/features/comics/zits/about.htm -Cached-- syndicated in more than 1000 newspapers the strip focuses on what the Zits website(see above) says is "the life of Jeremy Duncan, a 15-year-old aspiring rock musician, riddled with angst, boredom and parents who don't understand anything".
So is it any wonder that Pierce (Jeremy's pal who was "brought in to replace the former drummer,Y.A. in Jeremy's band") would ask his pal for help with the history test they're about to take in 10 minute?
What IS so telling of today's times is that Pierce (known for wearing 3 pounds of jewelry on his head) would pull out his Blackberry and stick it into Jeremy's face to ask him to decipher a picture of that history test they're about to take which their pal Moe took a mobile photo of and posted on her "MySpace Page". Pierce it seems has been "trying to make out on my teenie Blackberry screen for the past 45 minutes" the posted test. To which Jeremy says: "Good use of your study hour" and of course Pierce replies "Why do people keep saying that to me?".
Hollywood2020 blogger Joyce Schwarz, JCOM, emerging entertainment columnist & analyst checked Myspace we could not find a posted history test-- we searched for Moe first and then for "history test" -- okay, okay so we figured if we didn't check MYSPACE we'd find that the cartoonists or the syndicate had posted the 'faux' history test. That's life in the age of 'alternate reality gaming' like the LOST EXPERIENCE. What we did find online was info on both of the cartoonists who appear to both have teenage daughters -- looks like Borgman (who lives in Ohio) has 5 (five) teenagers and Jerry Scott (who lives in California) may have two teens (or at least one and a preteen--not sure about the second child's age). More on them at the ZITS syndicate webpage http://www.kingfeatures.com/features/comics/zits/about.htm. Note King Features appears to have a new business model - you pay $15 yearly and you get to read 100 strips (not necessarily the latest though -- appear to now be 1 month old and not in sequence any more) BUT you do get the techno magnifyng glass for those of you who might be a bit older than 15 eyar old Jeremy starring in ZITS!
We're always fascinated by how the COMICS start to reflect what's happening in the WIRED world and how it affects our culture too --many times even before the editorial folks start to write about the trends.

The U.S. Justice Department is preparing to file a civil suit against Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC for its positive reviews of collateralized debt obligations in advance of the financial collapse, the ratings firm announced on February 4.
The suit would be the first by the federal government against one of the ratings agencies since the crisis hit. According to Standard & Poor's, a subsidiary of McGraw-Hill Companies Inc., the Justice Department's civil division is looking at claims associated with its ratings in 2007 of collateralized debt obligations. The Securities and Exchange Commission has said that it was also considering taking legal action against Standard & Poor's.
"A DOJ lawsuit would be entirely without factual or legal merit," the firm said on its website. "It would disregard the central facts that S&P reviewed the same subprime mortgage data as the rest of the market—including U.S. Government officials who in 2007 publicly stated that problems in the subprime market appeared to be contained—and that every CDO that DOJ has cited to us also independently received the same rating from another rating agency.
"S&P deeply regrets that our CDO ratings failed to fully anticipate the rapidly deteriorating conditions in the U.S. mortgage market during that tumultuous time," the company continued. "However, we did take extensive rating actions in 2007—ahead of other ratings agencies—on the residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") which were included in these CDOs. As a result of these actions, more collateral or other protection was required to support AAA ratings on CDOs. With 20/20 hindsight, these strong actions proved insufficient—but they demonstrate that the DOJ would be wrong in contending that S&P ratings were motivated by commercial considerations and not issued in good faith."
Three firms are representing S&P: Cahill Gordon & Reindel, Morrison & Foerster and Keker & Van Nest, a spokesman for the ratings service said. Cahill litigation partner Floyd Abrams, who has represented S&P in litigation over its ratings, directed an email seeking comment to S&P.
The agency took particular aim at the department's possible use of the 1989 Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act statute, passed following the savings and loan scandal. Federal prosecutors have cited that statute in numerous lawsuits accusing federally insured banks including Wells Fargo & Co. and Bank of America Corp.'s Countrywide Financial unit of lying to the Federal Housing Administration about the quality of their mortgages. Standard & Poor's said that applying the statute against it would be "unprecedented" and without legal merit.
"In an attempt to end run well-established legal precedent, the DOJ plans to use a questionable legal strategy by suing S&P under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (FIRREA) – a statute enacted in 1989 to stabilize and reform the savings and loan industry," Standard & Poor's said. "If DOJ does bring suit, we will vigorously defend our Company against such meritless litigation."
The ratings agency underscored that the financial crisis was "unprecedented." Standard & Poor's ratings aligned with those by other ratings agencies at the time and it also issued several negative ratings, it said.
Since 2007, Standard & Poor's said, it has invested $400 million in strengthening its ratings. Additionally, with the Credit Rating Agency Reform Act and the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, credit ratings agencies are now regulated by the federal government.
In 2011, a U.S. congressional report concluded that Moody's Corp. and Standard & Poor's contributed to the crisis when they were forced in 2007 to downgrade their inflated ratings on mortgage backed securities and collateralized debt obligations. The report, by senators Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), chairman and ranking Republican on the Senate permanent subcommittee on investigations, concluded that the ratings agencies ignored warnings about risky financial products.
The report called on the SEC to rank credit rating agencies.

Homepage 404 after changing siteurl
I just built my first site using wordpress.
I built it at http://www.synoiatech.com/wordpress
When I was ready to launch the site I followed the instructions here http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory > " Using a pre-existing subdirectory install" to move it to the root directory.
After I moved the site all of the pages work with the exception of the home page. On the HP I see the menus and logo but i get a 404 where the main content should be. Also all of the pages show the new permalink ex: http://synoiatech.com/about-us/ except for the hp which loads as http://synoiatech.com/wordpress/.
If I try to make any other page the front page using settings > reading, that page stops working and gives the 404. As a result I have created a "Home" link in the main navigation just so I could see what my HP looks like.
I have been tearing through forums all day looking for possible solutions to the problem and I am under a really tight deadline to launch this site. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
- The topic 'Homepage 404 after changing siteurl' is closed to new replies.


text: All Antti Niemi has done in his four NHL seasons is backstop Chicago to a Stanley Cup, while putting together a 119-59-26 record and a 2.34 career goals against average. Those are very solid numbers, and he's a major reason why the San Jose Sharks are close to wrapping up a playoff spot again this year. Yet he still seems like an afterthought when the game's top goalies are being mentioned.

Can't, stuck with him
Assuming Sanchize needs a new start in another town, who are there candidates for a bad contract swap with the Jets?
Rivers, Palmer, non QBs
Can't, stuck with him
flynn might be an option, he's making all that $ riding the bench behind wilson and if anybody can fix sanchez it's probably carroll. I don't think philly would want sanchez but they probably want to get rid of vick
Last edited by cant wait; 12-03-2012 at 09:17 PM.
We might be able to get a bag of pretzels.
This isn't baseball.
Just 1 more season - no point in dealing him.
The Dodgers may take him. Kemp could be an edge rusher.
The saving grace of the Sanchez contract is that it prevents the Jets from foolishly signing another get-rich-quick-scheme quarterback like Favre or Testaverde.
All the money spent on offense will be exactly where it belongs- at WR, RB, TE, and OL and with those new tools perhaps Mark will flourish. If he does, awesome. If he doesn't, we know it wasn't because of the playmakers and out the door he goes in 2014.
I have always been a supporter of Mark, but that left me after the 49ers game. This next draft is all about replenishing the depth and sore needs on the team -- pass rusher, RB, OL/TE, etc.
- While Mangold is a beast and a pro bowler, but nobody in the NFL pays their centers anything. The big money on the OL always goes to the tackle. Next, the guards get paid. Finally, the center gets paid like the failed guard they used to be.
Right now: the Jets have no talent at RB, marginal talent at TE, WR, and RT. Had we not overpaid our center, that money could have been used to upgrade those positions.
Just for the guarantee of sanchez contract alone, he should be held accountable, but the fact that he did not include an offset in it (standard for 85% of all contracts) is that much more and indictment of his "management"
2. Revis is set to become the first truly unrestricted Free Agent in recent NFL history as he is unable to be franchised. That puts us in absolutely bargaining position with our best player.
As for the big picutre of his cap "management" Tanny has simply deferred money to the future to keep us afloat. Whether he was told to do that or was simply trying to win/keep his job we dont know. But deferring salary to future years is not management.
Yes we have high priced veterans coming off the cap this year which is great. But we also have the following STARTING positions to fill:
That is 7 starting caliber players of which we do not have a single young player to step in other then at RB in powell.
This can be fixed with astute drafting to fill 2-3 holes, hopefully resigning slauson, and having our young DBs (Bush and Allen) hopefully step up as players.
But to say he has done a GOOD job as we sit at 5-7, with a benched QB making $10+ million guaranteed next year is a poor evaluation of his management skills
If QBs are that good, their teams dont let them go....
We have chased/signed Testaverde, neil odonnell, favre, etc over the last 10 + years and none of them worked out. To be successful you need to develop a young QB and we have been unable to do so....
2009/2010 defense masked the problems with this kid.
Alex Smith is a better player & Harbaugh has him on the bench.
I'm done with Mark, brass needs to sit him on the bench & hope that he wants to be out bad enough to get his agent to redo his contract so he can move on.
Dreams can be made in NY but also nightmares & the only thing missing in this drama is the sound of Rod Serlings voice & the Twilight Zone music if this teams trots him out as their starter in 2013.

The ancient art of origami paper folding is a precise and delicate art form. The word "origami" literally means "paper folding." In the art of origami the artist would create a single animal or shape from a sheet of paper using precise folds and creases. In origami logos you can see what a good designer can do with just the suggestion of a piece of paper. In logo design it has become a trend to use not only a replica of origami pieces but also the suggestion of origami in letterforms and abstract images.
Origami can represent precision, delicacy, imagination and attention to detail whilst also suggesting shapes, objects, animals and letters. In this regard, the ancient art of paper folding has become such a versatile tool that it can be used in many ways in many logos. Origami logos can be broken down into three groups, animals and people, letterforms and abstract shapes.
Origami Animal and People Logos
Letter Forms
Abstract forms and Non Animal shapes
Paper art has moved from the physical realms to the computer screen. Can you make precise folds, creases and shapes on screen? Maybe these clean crisp logos will give you some inspiration. If you need an origami logo consider hiring a freelance logo designer or follow the steps in this origami logo design tutorial.

Atlas of Human Anatomy in Cross Section: Appendix: Topography of the Thorax and Abdomen
Ronald A. Bergman, Ph.D., Adel K. Afifi, M.D., Jean J. Jew, M.D., and Paul
C. Reimann, B.S.
Peer Review Status: Externally Peer Reviewed
Right Lobe, Highest Point
The highest point of the upper or superior surface of the liver varies from the lower third of the seventh thoracic vertebra to the middle of the eleventh thoracic vertebra. Eycleshymer and Schoemaker also stated the average to be at the level of the lower third of the ninth thoracic vertebra.
The highest point of the right lobe of the liver in relation to the anterior chest wall was found to be at the level of the fourth intercostal space in the parasternal line, and at the level of the upper margin of the fifth rib in the mamillary line. The lateral margin of the liver reached to the mamillary line on the left side. The round ligament was 2.5 cm to the right of the median line. Luschka and Corning report the upper surface of the right lobe at the costochondral Junction of the fourth rib. Spalteholtz described and illustrated the upper surface as opposite the fourth intercostal space. Merkel and Morris place the upper surface at about the level of the upper border of the fifth rib or the fourth intercostal space in the mamillary line, and both Toldt and Treves indicate it to be at the fifth costochondral junction.
Right Lobe, Lowest Point
The lowest point of the liver on the right side in Eycleshymer and Schoemaker's specimens varied from the lower third of the second lumbar vertebra to the fourth lumbar disk. The average position is at a level between the lower third of the third lumbar vertebra and the third lumbar disk. Treves reports that it lies at the level of the second lumbar spine.
In Eycleshymer and Schoemaker's specimen, the liver was considerably lower than the average, being less than 1.5 cm above the iliac crest. Langer and Toldt, Joessel, and Corning state that the lowest point on the right side corresponds, in life, to the costal margin. Merkel, Treves, Morris, and Cunningham reported that in the upright position it projects a little below the costal margin, whereas in the recumbent position it ascends about 2 to 3 cm.
Anterior Margin, Midline
The anterior margin of the liver in the Midline was reported by Eycleshymer and Schoemaker to vary in position from the tenth thoracic vertebra to the second lumbar disk. The average position is at the level of the lower third of the first lumbar vertebra. In their specimen, the anterior margin of the liver in the Midline lies opposite the middle third of the space between the xiphosternal junction and the umbilicus.
The lower margin, reported by Joessel, lies opposite a line joining the tips of the ninth left and the tenth right costal cartilages. Langer and Toldt define the lower border by a line joining the middle of the seventh costal cartilage on the left and the tip of the eighth on the right. Quain, Treves, and Piersol report that the lower margin corresponds to a line passing from the tip of the eighth left to that of the ninth right costal cartilages. Merkel says it crosses the right costal margin at the tip of the ninth rib. Schultze indicated, "In the right mamillary line the inferior border leaves the costal margin, passes obliquely upward and to the left, crosses the median line midway between the navel and the xiphoid process, and reaches the left costal margin in the parasternal line." Corning places its anterior margin, in the median line, midway between the base of the xiphoid and the umbilicus.
Charpy describes the lower border of the liver in the Midline as usually lying opposite the upper third of the space between the xiphoid and the umbilicus. The lower border of the liver, according to Cunningham, passes from the eighth left to the tip of the tenth right costal cartilages.
