Should Gift Cards Be Honored When a Company Goes Bankrupt? One U.S. Senator Thinks So
Bankruptcy Judge Moves Patriot Coal's Case to Missouri
Betsy Johnson Bounces Back from Bankruptcy in New York's Fashion Week
Alaska has the fortune of being a state that has a higher median income and a lower unemployment rate than many other states. The state also has one of the lowest bankruptcy rates per capita with approximately 988 cumulative filings in 2009.
The bankruptcy rates remained low in 2011 with cumulative total of 989 filings, according to CreditCard.com.
But there are people who will face overwhelming debt in any state and find that a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy will help them shed their debt and stop the collection activities of their creditors.
While the federal government dictates bankruptcy law, every state has their differences and exemptions to the laws. Anyone considering bankruptcy in the state should meet with an Alaska bankruptcy attorney to help them navigate the system and determine which filling is in line with their needs.
The type of debt can determine whether your Alaska bankruptcy lawyer recommends Chapter 13, which is a type of reorganization or Chapter 7, liquidation of assets.
For 2011, Chapter 13 made up only 16 percent of total bankruptcies.
Chapter 7 filings comprised 84 percent of bankruptcies in the state. Under this structure an Alaska bankruptcy attorney is tasked with selling off most of an individual's assets although there are a number of property, wage and settlement exemptions.
Before an Alaska resident makes their final decision to declare bankruptcy they should do careful research and speak with a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy lawyer to see which will structure will give them debt relief.

I'm sharing this today as my signature look for project run and play because really... pjs are my signature!
Today I'm sharing an obsession of mine... making pjs! I just love making pajamas for my little ones. I love how you can use crazy prints, old t-shirts, scraps, and wild appliques! My boys love seeing what I've come up with for them and I love trying out new things. I feel that with "real" clothes (ones that go outside) I have to be more careful, conservative and more polished. Sewing pajamas is fun and stress free.. AND when I use fabric I already have on hand... its a money saver!
It all started with this tutorial... Its hard to find good cotton stretch here in Hong Kong... So I use old t-shirts. I still save every t-shirt my husband throws away...
Then the next summer I got a little more creative and tried out drawstring pants and freezer paper stenciling on the pjs.
I created these cute pjs for my stint on So You Think You're Crafty. The twist was that the baby pants could be footies or footless with a simple fold... great for toddlers who like to run around. I also tried out making my own striped fabric with this project.
Last fall I experimented with a mens long sleeve shirt to turn it into a pair of long pants style winter Pjs. I call it my one hour Pjs, because you can make pants AND a shirt in less than an hour with this tutorial.
And for my latest project... another matchy matchy set of boys Pjs. I had adorable dinosaur fabric and and old blue t-shirt and heres what I came up with.
I'll be using this latest project to share a tutorial on resizing patterns ( a little larger or smaller) today... So come on over and check it out!

The Optimal Rehabilitation program is an individualized, one-on-one therapy and rehabilitation program. Physical, occupational and speech therapy is typically offered up to seven days a week, depending on individual needs and abilities. The goal of Optimal Rehabilitation is to enable individuals to regain as much functional independence as possible, and to return home as soon as possible. Optimal Rehabilitation is more than just restoring mobility and function. It also creates a reserve of strength and vigor that allows therapy/rehabilitation patients to move around with confidence and ease. Through Optimal Rehabilitation, patients are given the chance to achieve their best physical potential.
Using scientifically proven research, tests and measures, therapists evaluate each person's functional status and identify areas that may be impaired. Once identified, an Optimal Rehabilitation program is developed that targets these functional issues through a unique combination of strength and power exercises, along with specific functional training interventions that can help individuals achieve their mobility goals. Patient progress is assessed through retests of the same evaluation tools.
Optimal Rehabilitation is dose specific, which means the more effort an individual puts into rehabilitation, the more likely the person is to improve and achieve mobility goals. Everyone can gain strength and function in Optimal Rehabilitation, regardless of physical health or medical condition. All that is needed is time and effort, and the professional guidance of the therapy staff.

text: Home World Fabled Timbuktu in Peril From Malian Coup With lives endangered, democracy trampled and historical archives at risk, it's time to act. By: Michael A. Gomez, Ph.D. Posted: April 26 2012 12:28 AM 0 EurAstro A drama of major proportions is unfolding in Mali, where a coup d'état, combined with violent regional rebellion, has resulted in both the collapse of the state and the loss of significant territory. At stake are many lives, as well as historical documents and artifacts of incalculable importance to African history. Last week brought reports that rebels had "pillaged and looted" archives in Timbuktu documenting the city's golden era of scholarship between the 12th and 15th centuries. It's vital that the United States and the United Nations take an active interest in what is happening in Mali, take a stand and advocate for peaceful negotiations to remedy the current state of affairs and save these priceless treasures. On March 22, 2012, junior officers led by Captain Amadou Sanogo took control of the military and removed President Amadou Toumani Toure from power. Disgruntled by the failure of the Malian army to reverse losses in the war against rebel forces in northern Mali, and disenchanted with widespread concerns of unacceptable levels of corruption in government, a number of Malians were initially supportive of the coup, while others were opposed to having the democratic process disrupted. With the populace divided, disaster suddenly descended in the north, where rebel troops, taking full advantage of a government in disarray, launched an all-out assault on principal regional towns. In a matter of a few days, from March 30 to April 1, combined insurrectionary forces had established full control over not only Kidal but the fabled cities of Gao and Timbuktu as well. Rare African Archives at Risk Gao was a state of considerable significance in West Africa from at least the ninth century A.D. until the 15th, when it became the political center of the Songhay empire and presided over lands stretching from what is now northern Nigeria in the East to the Atlantic Ocean in the West, while extending far north into the southern reaches of what is now Libya. Gao became twinned with the intellectual and commercial center of Timbuktu during the legendary rule of Sunni Ali (d. 1492), and under the succeeding Askia dynasty when scholarship reached new heights. In Timbuktu, the learned pursued all branches of erudition, including medicine, mathematics, astronomy and poetry, while contributing in large measure to the knowledge of Islam. So important were developments in Timbuktu that it became a leading intellectual center, comparing favorably with those found in North Africa. All of this came crashing down with the Moroccan invasion and military defeat of Songhay in 1591. History is arguably repeating itself some 420 years later. Over the last several decades, substantial efforts have gone into the collection and preservation of manuscripts throughout northern Mali. In places like Timbuktu, Gao and Jenne, thousands of books, treatises, letters, commercial records and other documents have been placed in public and private repositories, a written literature encompassing all of the aforementioned areas of study, revealing a centuries-long love of learning that characterized a region inclusive of a much larger portion of West Africa. Places like Timbuktu and Gao constitute the principal nexus to medieval West Africa's famous past, and in these centers that past continues to live. Books not only written in West Africa but also originating from other parts of the world are stored there, gathered for safekeeping. As such, these places constitute a priceless treasure house of intellectual and material culture, together with illustrious buildings going back hundreds of years. These treasures belong not just to Malians but also to Africans and the African-descended everywhere and should be cherished by the entire world. That such should be the case is supported by UNESCO's recognition of the entire city of Timbuktu as well as the tomb of Askia al-hajj Muhammad in Gao as World Heritage sites.

With the Fisher-Price® Imaginext® Eagle Talon Castle, your child will enter a world of medieval adventure. This castle unfolds to reveal a 3-foot-long action-packed play area. The castle can be set up for different play scenarios, and through Action Tech™ technology, it recognizes and responds to different Imaginext® accessories and figures.
Fisher-Price® Imaginext® Eagle Talon Castle (32+ play pieces), two AA (LR6) 1.5-volt batteries, and three button-cell (LR44) batteries.
Your child's imagination will command a magical world of fortified ramparts, knights, and dragons with the Eagle Talon Castle. This playset is loaded with plenty of action, sound effects, and interactive features to enrich playtime.
A simple twist of the soldier figures on the discs will turn on the castle's defense mode. The central walls will flip up to shield the interior of the castle. Turn another disk and an eagle head will appear with talons raised to lock the drawbridge.
Your child will be able to launch discs from the eagle's mouth, raise or lower the drawbridge, or plow through the break-away wall to storm the castle. There's even a secret hideaway for treasure.
The Eagle Talon Castle can recognize several Imaginext® accessories and figures, including Sir Angus and his horse, the Archer, the Ogre, the Sea Dragon Creature, and more. When kids incorporate these characters with the Castle, they'll hear responses unique to each figure. Accessories are sold separately and subject to availability.
Innovative ActionTech™ technology creates a thrilling interactive world where your child commands the action. Imagination, creativity, and fantasy will enhance your child's Imaginext® Eagle Talon Castle play experience. Your child's motor skills will get a workout too, as he or she learns to place the figures on various discs and turn them to defend the castle. Self-expression will help lead to confidence, as your child vanquishes foes and saves the castle for another day of imaginative play.

Bought this for my son's 5th birthday and he loves it but so does my 8 year old autistic son. It is a great toy for imaginative play and we have had many battles at our home with pretend Dragons. It does exactly what it says it does with the Action Tech technology. It is interactive with other accessories that come with the set, such as the cannon. It is very sturdy (stepped on a few times) and it does open up to 3 ft. as it says it does or you can make it smaller. It would be a great WOW toy at Christmas with or without additional accessories. We were pleased with our purchase but we were missing the Silver Knight and did not realize it until later. Toys R Us was great about contacting Fisher-Price and they sent a replacement free. It is a great toy for the older preschool and for those children who enjoy pretend play. The bonus DVD is "awesome" says my five year old and has numerous Imaginext stories using all of the different toys from Imaginext.

About Me Great Imagination
Comments about Fisher-Price 1001124 Fisher-Price Imaginext Eagle Talon Castle Playset:
I have good experiences with this castle when my mom first got it for me for Christmas. I was so excited that I played with it everyday for a while. I haven't played with it in a while but I am getting sucked back into it. Yes it was a gift. It was the most perfect gift I could have other than everything else.

About Me Education Oriented, Parent of Two or More Children, Working Parent
This is yet another fantastic toy from Imaginext. My 3 and 6 year old love it and spend hours playing with it. The castle has a great deal of details, enough features to allow more than one child at a time to play, and coordinates well with figures and accessories from other Inaginext series. The boys love the sound effects and action features. I love that unlike a lot of other toys, it really encourages the kids to use their imaginations and create endless stories and adventures,
Top of the line
By daddydc
from VA
The Eagle Castle is a sturdy, well made playset, with lots of great accessories and features, and holds the attention of our two boys (3 and 5) for hours. The interactive sound is a nice feature, with appropriate and humorous sayings that the boys like repeating. The look and quality is top notch, and should be the standard for FP's imaginext line. The accessories are well thought out and of a good variety to keep them engaged (three figures, armor, multiple launchers, etc). A couple slight negatives - the eagle launcher itself jams at times. When it works it is great. And it does work, you just have to get used to it. But is a source of slight frustration at times. The canon is also a little problematic because the missles do not go all the way down, so are prone to bending. Not big issues, but the reason for the 4 stars on quality. Otherwise, an awesome toy for one of the great imaginext lines.
Awesome toy!

from Undisclosed
This toy is endlessly entertaining and has provided many hours of fun. All of the toys to go with it are great and the interactive features of many of the toys with the castle will have you quoting the phrases regularly (and in a fun way). It is amazing and wonderful to watch my son's imaginative play when he is playing with his castle and all the accessories.

Great Toy, Wish I could buy replacement parts
By KT2010
from FL
My 3 year old daughter loves this new toy, we have had it for 2 days and its all she wants to play with. My husband and I both even really enjoy playing with her. The only problem I have, and the only reason I didn't give it all 5 stars is that the disks are the one of the best parts and they are extremely easy to loose. I am ok with the fact that my daughter looses them but I just wish that they sold replacements. If they ever decided to sell extra disks I would change my review to all five stars.

Transferred intent
Transferred intent is used when a defendant intends to harm one victim, but then unintentionally harms a second victim instead. In this case, the defendant's intent transfers from the intended victim to the actual victim and can be used to satisfy the mens rea element of the crime that the defendant is being charged with. The transferred intent doctrine is only used for completed crimes, and is not used for attempted crimes.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
Intent to commit a criminal or civil wrong against one person that instead harms a different person. In this situation, the intent necessary to convict or find the wrongdoer liable transfers from the intended act to the committed act. For example, someone who intends to shoot and kill one person, but misses and kills a bystander may be convicted of murder; the perpetrator had the necessary criminal intent even though he or she didn't intend to kill the bystander.

Presidential Visit

Mon September 5, 2011
Obama travels to Detroit today
President Obama travels to Detroit today to attend Detroit's annual Labor Day parade. He'll address thousands of labor union members about his ideas to create jobs and help grow the economy, the Associated Press reports. From the AP:
Obama's speech at a rally sponsored by the Metropolitan Detroit AFL-CIO may serve as a dry run for the jobs speech he'll deliver before a joint session of Congress Thursday night...In the speech to Congress, Obama is expected to outline a mix of tax credits and public works spending and press lawmakers to act quickly on the proposals.
Michigan Radio's Detroit reporter Sarah Cwiek will be at the President's speech. As she notes:
The President is looking to shore up support among organized labor, a key part of his base...
Speaking in the shadow of General Motors headquarters, it's likely the President will tout his administration's role in reviving the American auto industry. Publicly, Michigan's union leaders have generally praised Mr. Obama for rescuing U.S. automakers.
But, there are signs the President's support among union members has eroded, especially as unemployment remains high, and collective bargaining rights for public employees are under attack in many states.
This will be the President's second visit to Michigan in the past month. Mr. Obama toured an advanced battery plant in Holland in August.

I hope the stage kit still works with future games; I only just got one myself. It would surprise me if it didn't, especially considering it works with RBN. At the very least I would expect the lights will continue to work, and maybe not the smoke part.
Anyway, this is the only thing I could find:
I guess we'll find out when GD:RB is released. If that supports it, I cannot see why RB3 wouldn't. Although it would be nice if we could get some official confirmation as they now have announced future titles.Harmonix has confirmed to our pals over at Joystiq that a compatibility patch won't ever be produced for TB:RB, and when pressed about compatibility with future titles, the rep simply stated that the company "hasn't announced any future titles at this time." Looks like this party's over, folks.

Moin, Germany have never been defensive (In the sense of the word anyway), but you must admit at the last world cup their football play was hardly exciting. They depended a lot on Ballack. They had no depth up front (Selecting Bierhoff??? He was past it... I believe Bobic was also in the side or at least a fringe consideration?? Can't quite remember).
You won't see Germany defending leads under Klinsmann however. The guy was a striker. Has no idea about defence whatsoever.
BTW: I still firmly believe Italy won't beat Australia, at least not easily. From my understanding, Gattuso isn't fully fit and De Rossi will be out. So that leaves only Perotta to do the heavy work for Pirlo. Get Bresc or Cahill to pressure Pirlo and he'll eventually cough it up.
The biggest key match up, IMHO, however, is determining which of Cannavaro or Materazzi will mark Viduka. If Cannavaro marks Viduka, than the task of beating Italy will be much, much harder. If Materazzi marks Viduka, than we'll probably see Viduka owning Matrix.
Lets see if Italy can get past Lucas Neill.

The security industry, as well as IT administrators across the globe, has been busy recently dealing with multiple zero-day vulnerabilities emerging in quick succession. Before anyone has time to draw a breath after the barrage, yet another zero-day has appeared, ready to cause people problems. Well, for people in Japan at least, since the vulnerability is in the Japanese word-processing software Ichitaro.
Ichitaro developer JustSystems recently announced that the Multiple Ichitaro Products Unspecified Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (CVE-2013-5990), allowing the execution of arbitrary code, exists in Ichitaro products. In September 2013, Symantec discovered attacks in the wild attempting to exploit this vulnerability; however, the exploits did not properly work to compromise the system in our testing environment. As always, we...
In May of this year, sophisticated attackers breached a large Internet hosting provider and gained access to internal administrative systems. The attackers appear to have been after customer record information such as usernames, emails, and passwords. While these internal administrative systems had access to customer records, discovery of the attack and certain security implementations mitigated the scope of the breach. Customer passwords were accessible, but these passwords were hashed and salted making mass password cracking difficult. Customer financial information was also accessible, but encrypted. Unfortunately, access to the encryption key cannot be ruled out. While breaches of organizations and mass customer record dumps are posted almost daily, this particular attack was more sophisticated than we have seen in the past.
The attackers understood the target environment was generally well protected. In particular, the attackers needed a means to avoid...
Symantec Security Response has discovered many Instagram users have willingly shared their usernames and passwords to a bot-like app in order to increase likes and followers.
Figure 1. InstLike application welcome and login
The application known as InstLike was available for iOS and Android devices. It could be found in both Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Google and Apple have since removed the applications from their respective stores. There is also a mobile version of the application online.
InstLike claims users will receive likes and followers for free. But as we have warned previously, these kind of "free" services for social networks are not actually...

Typhoon Haiyan, one of the strongest tropical cyclones on record struck the Philippines this week, leaving behind a trail of mass destruction. With more than 10,000 people dead, call for help has been raised by several NGOs and organizations worldwide. Donation requests have been posted on different social networks as well as some popular websites. Meanwhile, spammers have started taking advantage of the situation by sending email containing fake donation requests.

In the the example shown in this blog, the spammer has sent an email that seems perfectly fine at first glance, but when you take a closer look, you can see the email is sent from a different email ID with the subject line "HELP PHILIPPINES".

South Korea has not been too far from media attention lately, with reports of cyberattacks involving zero-day vulnerabilities, banking Trojans, gaming Trojans, back doors and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks targeting the nation. Symantec has uncovered a recent attack campaign revolving around Downloader.Tandfuy that incorporates all of these elements.
In a recent Symantec blog entitled 'New Internet Explorer Zero-day Targeted in Attacks Against Korea and Japan', Symantec covered the use of the Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption Vulnerability (CVE-2013-3897) in attacks against South Korea. Our research into this campaign has shown that the attacker has...
A popular proverb goes like this:
When one adds a pint of clean water to a barrel of sewer water one gets a barrel of sewer water, but when one adds a pint of sewer water to a barrel of clean water one gets… well… a new barrel of sewer water.
If the clean water is considered as a logically true statement and the sewer water is considered as a logically false statement, then the proverb expresses a long known principle used in logic:
Adding a true statement (clean water pint) to several chained false ones (sewer water barrel) with an AND operator ('&') results in an overall false statement. A similar situation occurs when adding a false statement to several chained true ones, resulting again in an overall false statement.
Malicious game downloads are not a new phenomenon, but malware authors are now exhibiting a greater degree of ambition in targeting online gamers. A gaming Trojan horse is now targeting user bank accounts in addition to user gaming credentials.
Threats such as Infostealer.Gampass have plagued online gamers for years, stealing user credentials and data. And even though Trojan.Grolker is a relative newcomer to the world of online gaming Trojans, it does have a new avenue of attack.
Symantec has been observing Trojan.Grolker in the wild since the middle of 2012. The majority of infections have been observed in South Korea, with smaller concentrations in Hungary. Attackers have targeted...

Pillay: Human Rights central to Sustainable Development
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay is pushing for a greater emphasis on human rights at the upcoming Rio+20 UN Conference on Sustainable Development. The Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights disseminated the following press release on the issue:
Pillay to speak up for human rights at Rio+20, Brazil, 19-22 June
GENEVA (12 June 2012) – Sustainable development is not possible without due regard for human rights, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay stressed on Tuesday, ahead of the resumption of negotiations on the outcome document of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20). Pillay will join the conference next week to press upon States the need to infuse human rights into the final outcome document.
"Human rights and sustainable development are inextricably linked – without explicit human rights safeguards, policies intended to advance environmental or development goals can have serious negative impacts on people's rights and livelihoods," Pillay said. "Sustainable development is simply not possible without due regard for human rights."
The final round of negotiations on the Rio+20 outcome, dubbed the blueprint for the "Future We Want", begins tomorrow in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, ahead of the arrival of more than 100 heads of State and ministers to make final decisions at the Conference, 20-22 June.
Pillay has been a strong advocate that advancing the green economy and human rights must go hand in hand.
"Simply put, participatory, accountable, non-discriminatory and empowering development is more effective, more just, and, ultimately, more sustainable," the human rights chief said to UN Member States in an open letter earlier in the negotiations process.
She urged States to fully integrate these human rights principles, give explicit attention to the rights to food, water and sanitation, health, education and development, and include human rights-based policy coherence and impact assessment in the Rio+20 outcome.
Pillay's calls have been echoed by many, as shown in the enthusiastic responses worldwide, especially from civil society, to a "Speak Up for Human Rights in the Future We Want: #RightsRio" social media campaign run by her Office. Some governments have recently expressed support for human rights in the negotiations and relevant proposals have been put forward.
"But the battle is far from won. Most human rights provisions remain 'bracketed'," Pillay warns. "Twenty years after Rio, one would hope and expect that we will move forward rather than backwards on the essential human rights commitments contained in the Rio Declaration."
The UN human rights chief is to host an event with the United Nations Environment Programme in Rio de Janeiro on "Human Rights at the Centre of Sustainable Development", participate in a roundtable discussion and engage in discussion with key players during the Rio+20 Conference.

The American flag and blue ribbons guided the procession through its final leg from 1700 East to 10600 South. It was an overwhelming sight for Sgt. Johnson's father and brother.
Law enforcement agencies united to escort a fallen brother to his final resting spot.
"It's an honor to be part of this brotherhood today. It's a great honor and he was a wonderful, wonderful police officer and wonderful human being," says one of Draper's first police officers, Allen Thomas.
The casket was guided through the Corridor of Honor by pallbearers from the Draper Police Department.
A flag was presented to Johnson's son, wife, mother and grand mother.
A touching tribute to a hero who was then relieved of duty for the final time over dispatch.

I'm currently doing whole mount stainings with free-floating spheroids, and the problem I've got is that they become flat during the process !
Fixing the spheroids and avoiding centrifugation didn't help. They seem to become flat during the long (three days) antibody incubation which is done in an eppendorf tube, but the incubation needs to be that long to ensure proper staining. I considered staining in a multiwell plate, but then washing them would become really difficult....
Any idea how I can keep the spheroids round during staining?
Thanks !

Brandman University in Santa Maria is offering scholarships to thirty students who want to become early childhood educators.
Classes began Monday for the Spring 2013 semester. The scholarships will cover half of the students' tuitions.
This scholarship is the largest Brandman has given in its history.
"We've created a cohort for our early childhood education undergraduate program," said Patricia Graham, the Campus Director of Brandman University.
Graham said the university recognizes careers in child development do not often make a high enough income to pay off college loans.
"We took a look at what some of the needs are in our local community were, and early childhood education is really a growing field," said Graham, "especially with the state mandate that all childhood educators need to have an undergraduate degree."
About 30 students have already taken up the university's offer, but there are still slots open for others to take advantage of the scholarship. If you're interested, you can click on this link to their website to get more information.
"If anyone is thinking 2013 is the year for them, it's not too late to get started."
Graham said.

The popular BBC presenter met children from Class 6 and Class 7 who are currently learning about all aspects of the weather as part of their studies.
Headteacher Lorraine Hunter said, "We were delighted that Derek took time out from his busy schedule to visit the school. His presentation was really interesting and helped bring the subject to life. The children enjoyed the visit and are now looking forward to seeing Derek on TV tonight!"
Jack Pugh, aged 10, said, "I've seen Derek presenting the weather so it was great to see him in real life and he was really nice too.

PNC Bank branch in Ann Arbor to close in April
Daniel Brenner I AnnArbor.com
The closing marks the second bank branch to go out of business on Washtenaw Avenue between Huron Parkway and US-23 in one year. Bank of Ann Arbor closed its branch and drive-through location on Washtenaw at Pittsfield Boulevard in May 2012.
In a notice sent to branch customers, Mike Bickers, executive vice president and market manager, tells customers that the closing is a result of constant studying of "the effectiveness of our branches based on the physical capacity and the number of customers frequenting each location."
PNC spokeswoman Amy Vargo said the consolidation of branches is "not unusual" throughout the PNC network.
"We are always looking at our branch network to make sure we're serving customer needs and doing that in a cost efficient way," she said.
"Customers are using branches in a very different way today. They're using other ways of reaching the bank, such as online and mobile banking much more, as well as our advanced ATMs."
PNC will not be leaving an ATM at the Arlington Square location, Vargo said, due to a high density of PNC Bank ATMs in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti.
With the closing, there will be 5 PNC branches in Ann Arbor and one just west of the city on Jackson Road in Scio township. The remaining branches include the Huron Parkway branch, branches downtown on Main Street and South University, a branch on Maple Road in the Maple Village shopping center, abranch on Eisenhower Parkway between State Street and Main Street and the Scio Township branch on Jackson Avenue near I-94.
There are also branches in Saline, Dexter and Ypsilanti Township.
PNC came to Washtenaw County in 2010 as part of their acquisition of National City Bank in 2008.

Frank receives the Stanley Allured Lifetime Service Award from Janet Ludwig, Allured's daughter and president of Allured Business Media, publisher of Cosmetics & Toiletries, as his family surrounds him in support.
Although the number of cosmetic chemistry graduate programs around the world is growing, formulators and scientists often specialize in related fields and end up in cosmetics. Eugene "Gene" Frank, PhD, is one of them; his beginnings were in pharmaceutical chemistry, which gave him a head start in navigating cosmetic formulations. However, Frank's experiences in this industry have taught him that not every novice formulator is as lucky, and he has served several years as chair of the scholarship program for the Midwest chapter of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists (MWSCC), spreading the word about this industry and awarding scholarships to educate students with cosmetic aspirations.
On Nov. 13, 2012, Frank was awarded the Stanley Allured Lifetime Achievement Award by the MWSCC for his dedication to the chapter and the education of its future members. Frank serves as a role model for those navigating the murky waters of cosmetic science, and his experience in R&D, for both contract and retail cosmetic manufacturing, provides a unique view for those just starting out.
C&T: What were your first impressions of the industry?
My first job was as a product development chemist for Kolar Laboratories in 1971. I had an undergraduate degree in pharmacy, so working with chemicals and formulation was not completely alien to me. I learned from the ground floor up how to make hair care, depilatories and skin care products. I had an advantage over those with just a chemistry degree, which provides a good theoretical background but usually no pure formulation classes. Cosmetics is really an extension of pharmacy, where you learn to compound and formulate.
C&T: What was the most difficult product type to formulate?
The company had certain specialty niches like depilatories, which involve chemistry using salts of thioglycolate acid. Those were difficult to do right and to make effective for the consumer.
C&T: Who were your mentors?
The first mentor was my pharmaceutical professor and advisor Fred Siegel, PhD, but the people who taught me the most once I was in the industry were George Kolar and Aaron Miller. Kolar was the owner of Kolar Labs and one of the founding members of the MWSCC, while Aaron Miller was technical director for the company. They taught me not only about the nuances of daily formulation work, but also how to relate to people and do things that are not technical. Being a technical person is one thing, but you have to be able to talk to people [your customers] to find out what they want.

They attribute their achievements partly to their father, former AT&T executive Dennis Sullivan, who taught them management lessons as children. He even required business plans before they got 10-speed bicycles.
"I have had access to the best legal and career advice available," says Jim Millstein, chief restructuring officer of the U.S. Treasury until 2011. His father, Ira Millstein, a legal legend in corporate governance, is a senior partner at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP. The younger man currently owns a turnaround-advisory firm.
Many successful parents pass on lessons that can benefit any ambitious manager. Among them: Aim high. Take roles that fulfill career goals. Exert extra effort. Learn from your mistakes. Here's a look at the experiences of three successful families:
Youthful Star

Ms. Condit persuaded her eldest daughter and four e-commerce colleagues at an America Online Inc. AOL +2.88% AOL Inc.

Aided by her parents, Ms. Duncan flourished. Mr. Condit suggested she forge ties with skeptical older subordinates through office visits and collegial conversations. Introduced by her mother to a Japan-savvy businesswoman, Ms. Duncan learned to conduct business with Japanese men leery of American female executives.
She quit AT&T in 2002, soon after the birth of her first son—a deliberate attempt not to repeat what she saw as her parents' shortcomings while she and her sister were growing up. "Their careers came first," she says. "They would forget to have us picked up from school or buy groceries."
Relocated to England and with her two sons in school, Ms. Duncan began doing strategy consulting for smaller U.K. concerns in 2009. Before long, she hopes to become an environmental executive after completing a marine biology degree, a major she initially avoided. "I thought counting algae at age 21 wouldn't have impressed my parents," Ms. Duncan recalls.
Sister CEOs
Ms. Morrison was about 12 when she decided she wanted to run a company. To realize her dream, she heeded what Mr. Sullivan believes is the best career advice he gave his daughters: "Always have a plan."
She started a chart monitoring her career progress while at Nestle SA, NESN.VX -1.47% Nestle S.A.

Her father still sets high expectations. When Ms. Morrison announced she had been chosen as Campbell's new leader, he responded, "So what's your next goal?"
Ms. Wilderotter, 13 months younger than her 59-year-old sister, says their father urged her to pursue tough assignments and land profit-and-loss duties early in her management career. He stressed the need to deliver results, she remembers.
At age 27, Ms. Wilderotter took charge of regional operations for a small software company. "It was risky because I was in accounting and had never worked in field operations," she says. Yet in two years, she was running regional operations, marketing and sales. She took command of Frontier in 2004.

Trying to outshine Dad "could have been a very difficult mission," says the 57-year-old Mr. Millstein, whose hair, like his father's, went snow white at an early age. He figured his legal success required immediate specialization, but his father disagreed. So during 18 years at a law firm–not his father's—Jim Millstein immersed himself in multiple areas. Being a well-rounded corporate lawyer opened other doors, the elder Mr. Millstein notes.

When he called to confide in his father about the stresses of the job, "I urged him to stick with it," and work to overcome Treasury naysayers, Ira Millstein adds.
The benefits of a prominent parent last long. Though Jim Millstein is well established, his father is now busily arranging introductions for Millstein & Co., the younger man's new company. "He's a pretty reliable reference,'' his son says.

Kelly Egan, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, and Carey Gleason, PhD, William S. Middleton Memorial Veterans Hospital, Madison, WI, present the results of cognitive performance tests administered to women enrolled in the Wisconsin Registry for Alzheimer's Prevention in the article "Longer Duration of Hormonal Contraceptive Use Predicts Better Cognitive Outcomes Later in Life."
"This study provides preliminary evidence that hormonal contraceptives may have a protective cognitive effect, even years after use is discontinued," says Editor-in-Chief Susan G. Kornstein, MD, Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Women's Health, Executive Director of the Virginia Commonwealth University Institute for Women's Health, Richmond, VA, and President of the Academy of Women's Health.

text: This took only about 10 minute to see but was a really nice balance after seeing the grandeur of the Ganpati temple. This was simple and impressive when you consider it was carved out by hand and not built up with individual stones. Worth a quick stop and close to Laxmi Road and Ganpati temple.

Irvin H. "Bud" Amen Jr., 79, of Boca Grande, passed Friday, June 21, 2013.
He was born Nov. 20, 1933, in Clayton, Ill., to Eileen (nee Maus) and Irvin H. Amen.
Bud had served in two arms of the U.S. military: the U.S. Navy and Air Force. After working with the Engelhard family, where he met his wife of 42 years, Mona, Bud settled in Boca Grande, in the early '60s.
His generosity was well known in the community as were the many good times held at the family establishment, the Laff-A-Lott.
Bud is survived by his daughter, Angelique (Erick) Amen-Magi of Ontario, Canada; son, Andrew Amen of Boca Grande; and three grandchildren, Hannah, Michael and Aleksander.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, July 12, 2013, at the Lighthouse State Park at the south end of Gasparilla Island.
Arrangements are by Farley Funeral Homes and Crematory.
