On Saturdays, I ignore my 'here's what I should eat' regimen and go wild and crazy--relatively speaking, of course. I am nearly fifty-six and live in Norwich, Connecticut, so wild and crazy are comparatives and NOT superlatives. I tend to hit the snooty McDonalds, in the 'historic district' as Norwichtown is called (I have a movie in my head of Paul Revere, on a dry run for his ride from North Church, leaning over his horse to shout an order into the clown's head, at the gallop-through in the McDonalds that undoubtedly stood on this very spot in 1773) to have a McBreakfast of some kind.
The great thing about going by myself, since my love and life-partner is home and warm in our bed, is I can spread out the newspaper, the other one, the one we don't get home-delivered, while having a hash brown and a breakfast something or other and eavesdrop, so to speak, on the conversations going on all around me. Many of us here in SE Connecticut are quite passionate, which is also a polite way of saying 'loud' and, in my defense, NOT listening to other peoples' conversations is harder to do than drifting along. This morning, there was a reasonable buzz about the loss in the first round of the NCAA men's tournament, by the UConn men to San Diego. The result was an upset and that describes how many seemed to feel this morning though there were more than a few 'MA' (morning after) coaches who saw it coming. I guess they were prophets without honor as no one, except me, seemed to be listening to them this morning.
I was drawn to a conversation between two women, I'd guess in their late Twenties (by the repeated references to other persons in high school. Ladies, if you stumble across this on the ether and realize I'm talking about you, lemme tell ya: all of us old folks agree, high school sucked and you're best off to stop talking about it.) and I'm not sure if their lives have turned out the way they wanted, by the way they were dressed and how they spoke. A third woman, whom they knew, came into the place (restaurant sounds so funny when it's a fast-food joint, doncha think?) with a child who looked to be between five and eight (I'm not good with kid's ages; my wife always reminded me of the ages of our two; the names I remembered all by myself). A warmer, longer discussion on women all three knew took place complete with one recounting a story of how she had seen this person 'driving and I waved and she just stared at me as I crossed the street so I just said to myself 'bitch!' and the next thing I knew she was getting out of the car and yelling and screaming at me! What was that all about?'
(If we survive the 21st Century, the history of this hundred years may well be entitled 'What's That All About?' as most of us use this expression rather than 'huh? or 'wtfo!', both of whom had their moment.) The walk-in woman kept touching the hair of the child, very softly, as if to reassure herself that he was real and here and (I suspect) to remind him that this will be just another moment and then they'll be getting something to eat (remember when we were kids and going to McDonalds was a treat that either you earned or were surprised with? When did that all change and why?) as the other two continued to speak of high school bitch queens gone by and offered updates on where they are now (mostly trailers on granite shelves in Griswold is what it sounded like from where I sat). 'No', said the mom, 'they got back together after the breakup. I just saw the two of them in his truck.' Sort of a sobering mid-term on your life, if you think about it: late twenties/early thirties update and you're riding shotgun in some body else's truck. And we wonder why suicides are up in this country? Check the mirror.
I looked up to see another guy, even older than me, sitting by himself at a table, so engrossed in these three women's conversations, he'd stopped eating and had physically turned himself so as to better see them while listening to them. His own life was on hold as his breakfast grew cold so he could better experience, albeit vicariously, these other people's lives.

Louisville is expected to announce a four-year extension for Rick Pitino on Wednesday, a source close to the situation told ESPN.com's Pat Forde.
Pitino earned $2.25 million this season and has three years remaining on his contract.
Pitino led the Cardinals to a 20-13 record, good for a fifth-place tie in the Big East. They were eliminated in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
His tenure with Louisville (nine years) is the longest of his career. The Louisville Courier-Journal reports Pitino is due a $3.6 million "loyalty bonus" on July 1 and would receive the same amount in 2013 if he were still with the Cardinals.
In February, Pitino denied being interested in the New Jersey Nets' head coaching position.
"When someone speaks an untruth it's a bit of a distraction," he said after Louisville's loss to St. John's on Feb. 11. "I want to just concentrate on coaching and playing. When people speak an untruth, it bothers you. There is no truth to it. ... I've been at Louisville for nine years and I want to coach till I'm 65 and I hope it's at Louisville and I hope they'll have me. It's a distraction, a nuisance."

Fred Goodwin
It's still called the Royal Bank of Scotland, but RBS, as it is more commonly known these days, has grown far from its roots as a regional bank in Edinburgh. Slowly but surely, RBS has built itself an empire stretching from Beijing, China, to the shores of Lake Erie. Last year, flush with cash, RBS made seven acquisitions around the world, including four in the U.S., and announced two others it completed this year. Then, in early May, the bank said it would purchase Charter One Financial Inc. (CF ) of Cleveland for $10.5 billion. The deal will spread the banking web of RBS across the Midwest for the first time -- and make its U.S. banking operations No. 7 in the country.
The architect of this expansion is Fred Goodwin, the bank's low-key group chief executive. A 45-year-old accountant who ascended to the helm in 2000, Goodwin is considered an aggressive but careful predator who delivers results. Since he took over, the bank's assets have quadrupled, its cost-to-income ratio has improved markedly, and profits have soared. In 2003 pretax profits rose 29%, to a record $10.9 billion. Suddenly, RBS finds itself the world's fifth-biggest bank, thanks to Goodwin. "He is seen with equal amounts of awe and trepidation in the financial-services industry -- as a man who led the transformation of a good provincial bank into a world-class player," says Philip Middleton, head of retail banking at Ernst & Young LLP in London.
RBS's global rise began with Goodwin's audacious $37 billion hostile takeover of National Westminster Bank PLC (NWPRC ) in March, 2000. The deal stunned Britain's banking world, in no small part because National Westminster Bank was three times the size of RBS at the time. It also was the biggest takeover in British banking history. Undaunted, Goodwin successfully integrated the institutions, cutting 18,000 employees in the process and achieving cumulative cost savings of $6.4 billion from 2000 to 2002.
Since acquiring NatWest, Goodwin has focused most of his energy on the U.S. market. It's an attractive place to Goodwin. "It's large, it's well-ordered, there's prosperity," he says. "And we speak the same language -- or almost." He has impressed investors with his choice of U.S. banks to buy, while many of his British rivals have failed to keep up. Goodwin tends to buy small banks that have little risk. Along with Charter One, he has picked up Massachusetts-based Medford Bancorp Inc., (MDBNK ) the retail division of Pennsylvania's Mellon Financial (MEL ), and Commonwealth Bancorp (CMSB ) of Pennsylvania, among others.
Banking experts say Goodwin's success in acquisitions lies in his disciplined approach. Before deciding to make a purchase, he does an unusual amount of due diligence. In the recent Charter One deal, for instance, RBS says it spent 500 man-days -- the equivalent of 100 people working for five days -- examining the bank's books. Goodwin decided to bite. Charter boosts the amount of pretax profit the bank gets from the U.S. to 25% from 19%, and puts RBS in a position to expand further in the Midwest.
Goodwin, known in the City as "Fred the Shred" for his vigorous cost-cutting, joined RBS in 1998, as deputy chief executive to Sir George Mathewson, the current chairman. Prior to that, the native of Paisley, Scotland, was CEO at two British banks, Clydesdale Bank PLC and Yorkshire Bank PLC. Before working at the banks, he was a partner at accountancy Touche Ross & Co.
So what's next for RBS? Having accumulated an estimated $4 billion in cash, you'd think Goodwin would be in a rush to snap up more banks. Not so. "You have a long time to regret it if you don't get it right," he says. That kind of thinking is what has put Goodwin, and RBS, in the top rank.

Research Interests
My research focuses on the environmental dimensions of social and cultural change in wetland environments, especially regarding urban origins and sustainability in deltaic settings. Currently, I am investigating the possibility and efficacy of using constructed wetlands to remediate petroleum production, agricultural, and urban wastewater streams in southern Iraq. Future work will study past and present strategies for biomass energy extraction from natural environments.
Past experience includes arms control, information technology, and training consultancy in Europe and the Middle East, and fieldwork in Malaysia, Italy, southeastern Turkey, Jordan, Iraq, the Republic of Georgia, and Azerbaijan, including research financed by grants from the National Science Foundation, the Smithsonian Institution, the National Geographic Society, the University of California Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation, the University of California Office of Research, as an American School of Oriental Research Mesopotamian Fellow, and as a Visiting Research Fellow at the University College London - Qatar

New York City, and the west, are at a greater risk of terrorist attacks than any time since 9/11 and the citizens and the government need to take heed, former Republican New York Gov. George Pataki said Monday on "America's Forum" on Newsmax TV.
"We just see this global network of extreme Islamic groups committed to attacking us and our citizens anywhere in the world," he said. "We've had a porous border and ISIS is well funded and if they choose or have chosen to fund people coming across the border of this country they may well be here.
"As to the specific actions the city and state are taking to protect the subways, all I can say is that when I was governor, whenever we had a general awareness of a heightened risk, we would enhance security and I have to believe that the NYPD is tremendous, the New York state emergency response and state police are tremendous and that they are taking the appropriate steps. I no longer can tell you specifically what they're doing but I know they're very good, I know they're aware of this threat, and I have no reason not to believe that they're doing what's appropriate."
He's hopeful that the complacency Americans may have been lulled into before the rise of the Islamic State (ISIS) and the "barbaric treatment of westerners" has been extinguished.

For the last couple of seasons, I've been riding the Fizik Arione saddle.
I changed for this season to find something more comfortable on longs rides. What a good change to make! I have nothing negative to say about this saddle.
The material feels great quality, showing no signs of scuff or wear even after 4000km this season. The gel seems genuinely to work, absorbing the road buzz effectively. The cut-away in the middle takes the pressure off the perineum far better than the Fizik saddles.
Genuinely not a bad word to say, but of course saddles are very much a personal choice...
I rode a Prologo Kappa for a year and a half until a crash ended the life of its rails and consequently the saddle. I was never terribly comfortable on it so I knew it was only a matter of time until it got swapped out. On the quest for a new saddle I tried a Fizik, Selle Italia, Selle San Marco and a few others without cut outs. I had numerous complaints to voice against the cut out of the Prologo and nearly 100% had my mind set on a non-cut out until I tried this one. It truly is the perfect fit for me and I highly recommend it. There is a reason this saddle is still around!
I really liked this saddle when I first got it. The centre cut out did its job of relieving pressure. But after a couple of seasons, I had found I would have days where I wasn't comfortable. Could be that it was at the end of its life span, which is fair, and it could be some other variables or my changing tastes.
The latest incarnation of the Flite saddle might look a little different to the original, but it still combines a reasonably light weight with huge comfort, which is what has made it so popular over more than a decade.
The slender body and narrow nose provide ample support without being too bulky, and there's enough length to allow you to shift your position when you need to ease aching muscles.
A little flex in the shell takes the sting out of potholes, while elastomers at the ends of the rails provide more absorption. The real star, though, is the silicone gel used in the upper – it moulds to your body to provide cushioning from vibration.

The world should probably give the guy who gave Netflix streaming the auto-play feature a Nobel prize because he is a genius. (This might be an exaggeration, but if everyone just calmed down and got a Netflix account who would have time for war?)
Easy to binge and hard to turn off without making an immediate effort to stop it, the autoplay feature is both a welcome and notorious companion to our Netflix experience. If you don't act fast (and who does?) then you may get sucked in to the next show…. and the next show… and the next. If you want to apply this deceptively simple addiction to your language learning experience, you can, and it's easy.
Get this Chrome extension to set Youtube to autoplay and auto-replay a video.
You can also make a playlist to auto-play several videos. Now find all the L2 themed content your heart desires. Youtube has plenty of it. Make a playlist hours long so you never have to worry about stopping and restarting, and then just run it all day.
This site gives you the option of making playlists of the youtube videos you choose and then will loop that playlist. Tubalr also makes suggestions about other related videos.
Stop binging on Bob's Burgers and start getting addicted to the language you are studying. Imagine, when your friends or family look down condescendingly at you sitting on the couch and ask, "What did you

Eighteen months after faking his own death, Jack Bauer is forced to return to Los Angeles when it becomes apparent that the only four people who know he is still alive are being systemically targeted for assassination. The assassinations coincide with the signing of an anti-terrorism treaty between Russia and the U.S., leading Jack to suspect a link between the assassinations, the treaty, and a group of Russian terrorists.

I love everything about AF! It's been so much fun I really look forward to my lesson each week. The teachers are fabulous, and it's a real community feel. The annual French Festival is très fabuleux too.
Learning at AF?
It's culturally immersing yourself in all things French – it's like stepping inside a mini France when we're there!
After 5 months at Alliance, I know more than I did after 4 years of French at school. It's interesting and challenging. The teachers are very helpful and understanding. I really look forward to my weekly classes!
Alliance Francaise is a wonderful cultural organisation and my French teacher is great!
I look forward to each class and expect to continue. Friendly atmosphere and excellent methods of teaching and learning.
The classes are very practical and I enjoy the interesting subject matter!

How to move Page File From C: Partition to another Partition ?
I am trying to keep the size of Image Files as small as possible. I'm told that it helps to keep these files from getting too big if I move the Page File away from the drive being imaged - in this case , my C: bootable drive.
I'm not sure how to do this and would appreciate some advice in this moving operation , please ?

The imaging program I use doesn't include the page/swap file in the created image; have a look at this tutorial at the link below for additional information and be sure to post back with any further questions you may have and to keep us informed.

I'm very happy with it and have no complaints but , as far as I'm aware , it doesn't have the faclity to exclude the page file when creating image files.
This is not a big deal as far as I'm concerned but now that I've been made aware that there are apps with this facility of automatically excluding the page file , I'm curious.

I'm presently in contact with Terabyte on this subject - as I say its not a big deal and I'm used to BING - it works independantly of any OS unlike almost all other Imaging Systems and , although its a bit "geeky" , once you get into it its extremely reliable.

Officials in India's West Bengal state have called in the army in response to escalating tensions with ethnic Gorkhas wanting a separate state.
Chief Minister Buddhadev Bhattacharjee said on Thursday that he has asked the army to deploy in Siliguri and the surrounding area as soon as possible.
Authorities say supporters of the Gorkha Liberation Front attacked a tourist vehicle today in Jalpaiguri district. In another incident, officials say police used tear gas to disperse a crowd of Gorkha supporters in Darjeeling district.
The ethnic Gorkha community began protests earlier this week, demanding independence.
The separatist group's general secretary, Roshan Giri says the strike will continue until the government accepts demands for a separate state.
Police say many tourists -- including foreigners -- have been stranded due to a strike-caused lack of transportation.

Taking a little time out
to give your leather coat that little TLC will keep it looking great through many years to come. A leather jacket that is properly cared for is less prone to
cracking or ripping from exposure to the elements.
By taking just a few straightforward measures you can keep your coat looking and smelling just like
new. Leather, like our own skin, tends to dry out
if exposed to the elements without adequate protection. Just as we need to use a moisturiser, it's wise to invest in a
protector for your leather to keep it looking in tip top condition. In turn, this will boost your leather's water resistance and
reduce it's susceptibility to scuffing. It will
also leave your leather buttery soft too, and the great thing about leather protectors is that they are widely
available and quite inexpensive.
Care for your
coat should begin the second you get it home to give it the best possible start in life. Most leather items are in fact preconditioned, but it's
always best to apply the protector on day one to ensure that your leather is waterproofed. From time to time, you'll need to remove the leather
protector for your jacket and apply a fresh coating. There are products on the market specifically designed for
this purpose which don't contain oils and waxes which could spoil the leather by preventing it from
It stands to
reason that, no matter how careful you are, given the climate we live in, at some point you are going to get
caught out with the weather and your leather jacket is going to get wet. It goes without saying this is to be avoided where possible
– the last thing you want are watermarks. If you
do get caught out, not to worry, however. Simply
leave your leather coat on a hanger in a temperature neutral setting (don't use fans or heat). You may wish to carefully blot off excess water with a
clean towel (though be sure to use one that's colourfast where you're dealing with light coloured leathers -
the last thing you want is leaching here). Once
your coat is almost dry, add a leather moisturiser or leather conditioner to keep it pliable. When your jacket has completely dried, apply another
coat. Take care to give your coat some TLC in
circumstances such as these. Once mould or
mildrew get in, they can cause irreparable damage.
If you live in a very arid
climate you should use a leather conditioner on your jacket. Apply it regularly following the product's
instructions to avoid the leather cracking. If you live in a rainy or very humid environment, be sure you use
products which not only condition but leave a waterproof film. In wintry and snowy conditions, take care to
sponge off any salt from your coat to avoid it being marked.
Should the worst happen
and you spill something on your jacket (which can be a particular problem with light coloured leathers), the
first thing to do is use a soft brush to get the majority of the spillage off. The next step is to sponge with warm water and a mild
soap. You then need to dry your jacket as described
With suede jackets, you
need to give them a gentle brush over every now and again to remove any dust and debris and keep the grain
looking smooth and clean. Whether your coat is made
from regular leather or, particularly, suede, from time to time you will need to get it cleaned. This can only be achieved by using special equipment and
products and a trip to the dry cleaners is in order. A professional cleaner will not only get your jacket looking
like new, but will use the best protective, conditioning products on your leather to keep it looking that
way. If you have any tears, missing buttons, etc –
bring this to the attention of your specialist cleaner. He'll almost certainly be able to help.
To keep your leather coats
in tip top condition, keep them hung up on a wide, padded hanger. Leather does not respond well to plastic
covers. It needs to be able to breathe and, in
addition, if any moisture is trapped with it this can lead to mould infestation and damage. Man made fibres really are a no no so far as storing
leather is concerned, but a plain cotton slip to give the dust off would not be out of place. We are delighted to bring you a great range of leather
jackets available on eBay today. Click the links
to the left to view our categories. You'll find
some unbeatable savings and a huge stocklist and, with mail order delivery, the perfect jacket for you could
be just a few clicks away.

Flipping is one the best-known real estate strategies to make upwards of 20K within a couple of months… so long as you do it right. Use this 2-step formula to run the numbers and make profitable flips to build your capital.
Flipping real estate can be a great way to make money.
The rule to smart flips is to follow the numbers. There is more than one way to eat profits on a flip and it all starts with your initial assessment. For smart flipping, you've got to evaluate the Flip Value and Your Maximum Cost to Buy.
Let's break it down right now.
1) Determine Your Flip Value (FV)
When you want to buy a property to rehab and sell, you need to determine your flip value upfront. Once you get your flip value, you reverse engineer to get your budget.
Be sure to stick to your budget so you do actually make money on the deal!
To get your FV, you need 3-6 months of comps for nearby housing values (your realtor should do be able to send this information to you). This will allow you to have a reliable account of what the house should sell for. Once you land on your flip value, plug it into your budget and see if the house is well-suited to a flip.
2) Determine Your Maximum Cost to Buy (MCB)
After you have your FV, you want to be able to generate a budget to see if buying the property will be worthwhile.
In general, you want to have at least 30% profit from the initial cost and price of rehab. Typically, 10% goes towards financing so you are actually clearing in the ballpark of 20%.
Use this equation to check your numbers: FP * 70% – rehab cost = MCB.
If your numbers work, then all you need to do is stick to your budget and you've got yourself a money-making flip.
Bottom Line?
If you do find a property that is close to the numbers, don't fudge it. If it doesn't work as a flip, it may be better suited for rental income property or just not worthwhile. Either way, remember to be committed to moneymaking, not a particular strategy.

As a gamer, and like with any other hobby and passion, there is always a seemingly endless list of things to play. The last couple of years have been cracking for gamers, with title after title offering us hours of playing time. However, this year and 2017 are shaping up to also be incredible and my list of games to play is getting longer by the second. So here are –
6 Titles I'm Looking Forward To Getting Stuck Into
Horizon Zero Dawn
I am by no means the only one excited about Guerrilla's upcoming title. There have been delays, we were originally expecting the game this year but now have to wait until 2017, however this doesn't bother me in the least. It looks like an incredible game in terms of both its looks and content. The glimpse of gameplay we were treated to at this years E3 Sony conference cemented my thoughts. As a long time fan of RPGs and open world games this really peaked my interest from the start. What I'm looking forward to most is discovering what happened to those before and how the machines ended up taking over. Getting to know a little more about the protagonist, Aloy, and how she fits in the world will be a huge part of the adventure as well.
The Last Guardian
It has been a long road, and a long wait, for this game. The Last Guardian is a title which has been promised to us for many years and finally our wait is over. In October we will be able to see what the developers have managed to come up with. I was worried when it all went a bit quiet last year, I thought we might have to wait even longer, but true to their word the game is being delivered. It looks lovely and it is clear that time and love has been poured into it. My concern, like many other games these days, that it might not be able to live up the massive amount of hype around it. Fans have been waiting for this for nearly 10 years, that is a long time, and I really hope it lives up to everyone's expectations. If it does we will forget about how long it took to get the game and we will be able to play it and relive the journey for years to come.
Still with the mysterious release of 2016, this game hasn't been given a solid date. Which is a massive shame because there are loads of people waiting for this title. Cuphead promises to be something different. The 30's style is one thing, but also a return to a classic platform gameplay gives us a break from all the open world shooters and RPGs we are flooded with (not that there is anything wrong with those). The only downside is that it will be an Xbox exclusive so those with only a PS4 will miss out on this beautiful game.
Skyrim Remastered
After recently trading in all my games and PS3 console including my copy of Skyrim, which has several hours sunk into I might add, I was so thrilled to hear that Bethesda are releasing a remastered edition of the game. I know they are known for their glitches, in fact there were times when the game froze my whole console, but you know what? I don't care. I loved this game and can't wait to get stuck into it again in all its HD, remastered glory. Also, I get the bonus of having the DLC packs thrown in as well. Merry Christmas to me!
Crash Remastered
I'm not sure I have to say much about this one. It's Crash Bandicoot. I just hope I get my Spyro remaster after this.
Gears of War 4
This is a franchise close to my heart and I have fond memories of playing it with friends. Also, how many other games let you chainsaw someone in the face? Anyway, when this game was first announced I was excited and the trailers and teasers that followed just got me wanting more. The fact that it is going to be set over 24 hours, for me, is really clever. They were never long games to start off with, and having this time limit will help to focus the game on the story and push it forward. I also like that, although one of the main trio is related to Marcus Fenix, the older characters possibly won't be an integral part of the game, it will be geared towards the new generation. The only thing is that I hope it doesn't end up being game which has been done just because it can. Sequels for sequels sake really grind my gears (pun totally intended).

Director Miklos Jancso dies at 92
Hungarian director Miklos Jancso has died at the age of 92. The moviemaker passed away on Friday (31Jan14) after a long illness, according to officials at the Association of Hungarian Film Artists.
Jancso began his career in 1954, when he started making short documentaries about local events and prominent Hungarians, such as writer Zsigmond Moricz.
He moved into feature films in 1958, with the release of The Bells Have Gone to Rome, and rose to prominence in the mid-1960s with works including 1963's Cantata, The Round Up in 1965, The Red and the White in 1967, Silence and Cry in 1968 and Red Psalm, which won him the Best Director award at the 1972 Cannes Film Festival in France.
His work was characterised by visual stylisation and long takes, and his ability to portray the passage of time by simple changes in costume.
Jancso received a number of other awards over the years, including lifetime achievement honours at Cannes in 1979 and at the Venice Film Festival in Italy in 1990, while he was presented with the prestigious Kossuth Prize in Hungary in 1973.

The Supreme Court ruling Monday overturning the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) authority to regulate a small subset of polluters actually helps the agency, legal experts said, allowing it to focus on the biggest carbon emitters.
The Monday ruling held that EPA cannot require air pollution permits from factories, power plants or other sources just because they emit a large amount of carbon. But it upheld the EPA's ability to require facilities that emit other harmful substances to also limit their carbon pollution.
The EPA and Solicitor General Donald Verrilli told the court that when the agency decided to require permitting for carbon emissions, it found that a literal reading of the Clean Air Act would have required it set a threshold of 100 tons of carbon dioxide a year. That would have put 6.1 million buildings under its purview, including large office buildings, and cost more than $22 billion to regulate.
So the EPA wrote its "tailoring rule," in which it decided to set the threshold at 100,000 tons a year. The court struck down the tailoring rule, but also said the EPA did not have to regulate those facilities whose emissions don't exceed other thresholds.
"EPA's tailoring rule specifically was written to avoid regulating the small sources, because of the administrative burden and the inefficiency of regulating all of those small sources," said Tim Profeta, director of Duke University's Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions.
The Monday ruling gets the EPA close to its original regulatory goal, without having to enforce an overly broad reading of the Clean Air Act.
Since the vast majority of large carbon polluters also emit other harmful substances like ozone and soot, the EPA estimates that its power extends over 83 percent of carbon emissions, compared with the 86 percent it would have been allowed if the court had completely upheld its rule.
"The only thing that EPA could have done if it had won across the board that it won't be able to do now is regulate another 3 percent of emissions," said Richard Revesz, a New York University School of Law professor who filed a brief support EPA in the case. "That's all that's at stake."
The court's ruling, written by Justice Antonin Scalia, faulted the EPA's interpretation of the law. But it endorsed another interpretation, in which the EPA defines large sources of pollution as those that only exceed thresholds of other substances.
"So they end up almost in the same place," Profeta said.
The EPA's critics, though, praised the ruling, saying it also closed the door to the agency expanding their purview in the future.
Richard Faulk, an attorney who filed a brief on behalf of local and state chambers of commerce in the case, said the ruling is very important, because the EPA likely would have reduced the carbon dioxide threshold in the future to catch more polluters.
"I think it's one of the most significant rebukes to an expansion of power that I've seen in years," Faulk said.
"The levels that they were prepared to go down to ultimately — not immediately, but ultimately — was just astounding," he added. "Even large homes, apartment complexes, those sorts of things, they didn't rule out the regulation of those sorts of things."
The EPA spokeswoman Liz Purchia said the 3 percent subset would have included landfills, pulp and paper facilities, electronics manufacturers, or other facilities that burn fuel on-site for their operations.
Calpine Corp. filed a brief in the case saying two of its geothermal electricity generating plants in California would have required permits due to their carbon dioxide emissions alone.
"It's a very unusual situation," Revesz said.

Not a negative sign!
I think that you are having a plus that you get this business card from the company reported. Note that the monthly balance is high, but it is new balance, and it is paid in full every month. This is not like when you have high balance on your own, you pay minimum or some down amount but next month you still have a high balance (this balance is not new, it is OLD). Most credit grantors therefore will look at your case as positive. And even if they don't and they deny your credit application, you still can always ask for a reconsideration to explain directly to a credit analyst for a very high chance of inverting the decision into approval. Hope this helps.

It sounds like overall credit utilization is what is affecting your score. There are two ways to lower utilizations #1 - let a smaller amount report (1-10%) or #2 - increase your overall limits. #1 is probably not an option since you probably don't have any control over when your payments are made, assuming this is handled by your employer. Then you should focus on #2, open a new card or increase the limits on existing cards. Your "credit score card" here on CK will help you determine exactly what is affecting your score, if it's utilization it will give you a grade. Having this account report however is a good thing for your credit, as long as your employer continues to make payments on time.

Delhi, Delhi India (PressExposure) August 09, 2007 -- Biotechnology in India is perceived as an extremely promising business however; so far the sector is barely popular among people unlike information technology. Media also failed to generate interest in Indian biotechnology.
Yet, there are positive signs, which indicate that the industry would witness a sharper growth and better visibility in the coming years. Several big biotechnology plus life sciences corporations in the world are planning to set up base in India for doing variety of activities from clinical researches to drug discoveries.
India's talent, low costs as well as capabilities displayed by several small biotechnology companies in the country are playing an important role in attracting these companies. Biogen Idec, the world's oldest biotechnology company, set up a subsidiary in India in early 2007 with the aim of doing Research & Development and integrating India in its worldwide clinical development programmes. Other international companies such as Genzyme, Pall Life Sciences, Genentech, Agilent Technologies', Histogenetics have either started operations in India, or are panning to do so.
India's advantage in services sector is that drug discovery processes in the country could be carried out at a lower cost. Overseas companies face labor shortages as well as high-cost operations for their domestic drug discovery process and such works could be moved to India.
A recent report by RNCOS on "Asia Pacific Biotechnology Market (2007-2010)" also unveiled India's immense potential in the filed of Biotechnology. As per the report, India possesses a great potential to become one of the most significant players in biotechnology industry globally by 2010. It is poised to leverage its scientific skills and technical expertise to make a global impact from a strong innovation led platform.
The report also stated that India presents exciting opportunities for biotech companies in US and Europe to integrate their drug development programmes at lower cost and shorter time thereby having an advantage over trials conducted in the more expensive research environs of the west.
The research reports also addressed some other interesting issues and facts that are critical for the success in Asia-Pacific biotechnology market like trends in the Asia-Pacific biotechnology industry, an overview of bio-clusters in the industry, course of market growth for the next 5 years as well as issues confronted by the industry.

Excited my life is back My husband and I have been together for almost 11 years in October. The way we met wasn't the best way since we both had relationships. We ended our relationships to be together (or so I thought we BOTH did). As soon as I ended up pregnant with our first baby, I find out he was cheating with his EX! My world went upside down. It was very hard for me since I was pregnant and hurt. Over the years I just kept forgiving him over and over again of not only multiple affairs, but of his accusations of me being unfaithful and disrespecting me. We now have 3 kids and I just completely felt neglected and felt low of myself. I had my own affair… It has not been easy for BOTH of us to overcome. Somehow over the last few weeks we have been working together to move on. We are now moving out of state. I love my husband and I am positive he loves me. I am going to try and show him this approach. Somehow we were already doing it! We have a better communication than we've had in years! We are learning how to speak calmly out feelings and concerns. It hasn't been peachy, but I can see that we both are starting to respect eachother. We care for each other's feelings. We have US a main priority. We aren't taking counseling, but somehow we see that little by little we seem more comfortable with eachother. Sometimes we may notice how good it is going and may step back, but helping eachother out by holding and saying it's ok to be happy again. I love my family. and my husband and i need to keep my marriage save with him from other women so i have to seek for a love spell to keep our marriage stronger so i contacted Dr happy who help me to keep my marriage save and secure from other women am very happy today coz my husband love me more and more like ever before, we are living as one big family again bless Dr happy for what he did to me and my husband if you need help contact him too he is real and 100% guarantee ok so email him at : email@example.com call +2348133873774 about his service and web site: http://happyspelltemple.webs.com/ReplyDelete
