High Performance Golf's professionals—who call on more than 25 years of collective experience—help golfers to hone their game by using advanced technology to break down swings. The golf pros use video analysis, K-Vest 3-D motion-capture systems, and launch monitors to dissect each pupil's mechanics and sweaty palm tendencies. The data generated by these systems enables the instructors to develop personalized plans for students' improvement, helping them to reach goals more efficiently in private and group lessons. The professionals incorporate training exercises for specific muscle groups, and their facility lets students practice indoors or at an outdoor range. Additionally, High Performance Golf's PGA Tour simulator invites players to swing through the fairways of famous courses without having to wrestle the feral caddies that lurk in their water hazards.
NVP Paintball houses healthy competition within 15,000 square feet of indoor arena space. The turf-covered playing field obstructs easy shots with giant inflatable obstacles that shoot up toward 40-foot ceilings. Trained refs monitor all the action, including walk-on play, private parties, and high-noon duels. Elsewhere in the facility, a pro shop vends paintball necessities, and a game room overlooking the field offers additional entertainment.
Led by head coach Jesse Myers, who made several significant player acquisitions before the season, the Rochester Rhinos look to ramp up their scoring prowess for 2012. A member of the USL Pro league, the team incites cheers from loyal fans and whimpers from jostled gophers when playing on its home pitch at Sahlen's Stadium.
Art isn't merely housed at Artisan Works—it's born here. The 40,000-square-foot facility includes galleries showcasing thousands of regional artists as well as onsite studios where creators pour their imaginations onto canvas, wood, and clay. You can watch them while they work as you check out the paintings and sculptures in the galleries. A non-profit organization, Artisan Works relies on individual and corporate support for funding.
Since its 1965 founding in Venice Beach, California, Gold's Gym has dotted the globe with more than 600 locations where professional athletes and exercise newbies gather under the umbrella of personal strength. Nearly 3.5 million Gold's Gym members chart and aim for their fitness peaks, perspiring beneath the gaze of certified personal trainers or pedaling beside peers at cycling sessions. In a diverse lineup of group classes, patrons strengthen cores with Pilates, finger-paint pictures of ninjas in martial arts, and amp up heart rates along to the pulsating soundtracks of Les Mills routines.
Many Gold's Gym locations stockpile futuristic amenities, such as cardio machines with individual iPod docks and televisions that help keep patrons motivated.

text: We're at the historic Galician border markerWell, we're back from a superb Camino journey. Today (in Villafranca del Bierzo) we all got ready for a 7.15 breakfast so that we would be on time for the 8.30 bus to La Portela, 11 km away. The idea was to shorten today's walk which would be challenging anyway. We took our bocadillos and said bye to Lilliana. We walked across a different bridge and through the grey streets to the bus stop near the Hostal Cruze. Checked the times with the bar … [Read more...]

The pattern is Jamie jeans by Named patterns, a new indie pattern company from Finland that offers PDF patterns with clean lines, simple looks and interesting details.
This jeans are actually a muslin since I only want to test the pattern but it fits me quite fine. I used some mysterious stretch fabric that I found in a small store near my home. You do have to use stretch fabric for this pattern though since it is really fitted.

I have a special needs son who loves The Wiggles. He loves this DVD and plays it all the time. Bright colors and lively songs.

By Wiggly Mommy
from Darlington, PA
My 19-mo LOVES The Wiggles! He's at that age now where he is beginning to mimic their dance moves and really be engaged in the music. He's been watching The Wiggles for about a year now. He absolutely loves "Do the Propeller" and "Rock-a-Bye Your Bear". Very entertaining! I've bought several Wiggles DVDs, and this is one of my favorites. It's really something special to be able to bond with my son through music!

Dark Lord from Three Floyds is like the quintessential Midwest "big beer". It's huge (13-15% ABV), it has a cool label, an awesome name, and a must-attend event that is centered around its release every year in April. Plus, death metal starts playing when you crack one of them open. Most people think that the wax is for preventing oxygen and identifying the year it was brewed, but it's really there to keep the death metal at bay.
Recently, my pal Gus from Professional Beer Reviews decided to crack open the vertical he had been working on, plus a few of the earlier vintages and a couple of barrel-aged Derk Lerds for extra brutality. Thanks, Gus! Gus is working on a video for the tasting, so make sure you check it out when it comes out!
Dark Lord Vertical – 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012.
Cognac Barrel Aged Dark Lord (2012)
Cognac Barrel Aged Dark Lord De Muerte (aged with ancho and guajillo chili peppers) (2012)
Plus a bunch of other incredible beers (more on that later)

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The story is almost unbelievable.
"This is something you would see on a Lifetime movie. Con artist cons somebody from the outside," said private investigator Kathleen Conran.
But the details are too shocking to be scripted.
Private Investigator Jennifer Moore was busted Saturday for smuggling drugs, cigarettes and confidential court documents to an inmate at the Duval County Jail: Morris McClendon.
She met McClendon while he was in jail on a laundry list of charges, including domestic battery and car jacking.
37-year-old Moore was the private investigator on his case.
She told her ex-boss she loved him.
"She's going to lose her entire livelihood for a career criminal," said Conran.
Kathleen Conran owns Conran Investigations and employed Moore as a subcontractor for 4 years.
Because she works undercover, she didn't want to show her face, but said she holds all of her employees to the highest standards.
"When I go and stick my right hand on the Bible and say 'I do solemnly swear,' that means something," she said.
She fired Moore a week before her arrest for lying about a case, but still said her arrest was a shock.
"Your honor and your word is all you have. And if you once lose that, you can't work for my company," she said.
And in a business that relies on the truth, Moore's arrest stings.
"You can't control what every employee does, but still, I'm going to have to live with that tarnishment on my company's record for a long time to come," she said.
But longer for Moore, who could be facing a felony charge.
McClendon doesn't have anything left to lose.
"He played her like a fiddle, and she fell right for it. And she's lost everything for it," she said.

Filter Results |
Nice set, great rangePros: Has been a set for my gf's pc and she is very happy with it. The batteries last longer compared to other wireless sets out there. Cons: none Did you find this review helpful? |
Pretty good.Pros: Cheap, easy solution for everyday needs. Enough said. Works perfect. Cons: Feels kind of cheap. Not going to knock an egg for it though. You get what you pay for usually. Did you find this review helpful? |
Works so-soPros: Keyboard works great. The layout is kinda weird though. If you have big hands, (like me), this is not the keyboard for you. Cons: The mouse uses 1 battery, which I like. But the left mouse button gets glichy... and seems to stick with no rhyme or reason. Other Thoughts: Overall, it's been a work horse. My biggest complaint is the cheap switches inside the mouse. Did you find this review helpful? |
Good Keyboard Mouse comboPros: Good range. Single dongle. Laged only 1 or 2 times Cons: Most used letters on keys started wearing off. Battery usage. Other Thoughts: The dongle sticks out. This I think gave the set a good range but I had the computer out and teenager brushed aginst computer and broke dongle. Mouse still worked but the keyboard died. Did you find this review helpful? |
great buyPros: Got these to allow long distance computer use(couch, bed, recliner, etc). They have excellent performance up to 10ft which is the longest distance I've used them so far. I havent noticed any lag but a couple times(see other thoughts). the keyboard is extremely durable and seems to be able to hold up okay to some moderate abuse. Keys feel comfortable under the fingers. It's a shorter key stroke(more like a laptop) but I really like that. That's partly why I bought it. The mouse seems to be about the same construction, though be careful with that battery cover. if you drop the mouse on anything hard, it likes to pop off and go flying LOL Cons: The mouse has no true off mode. it goes into a standby until it detects movement which will majorly drain the battery, but after a few months, I'm still getting a good, strong power supply off the battery that came with it. My recommendation, get a very large capacity, high quality rechargeable battery for it. I have a healthy stockpile of those so I'm not worried at all about that. Just a feature I would say could use some improvement, but for how cheap it is, it's not really a negative per se Other Thoughts: did have some glitching and non responsiveness a couple/few times, but I can't be sure if it was because of computer errors on bad OC's or if it was the mouse and keyboard.. My advice, if you have an available usb port that has 100% unobstructed line of sight of the devices, use that. It can greatly affect how your experience is with it, and lots of reviews seem to state having problems with that... I don't have that problem thankfully. using rear usb port and sit 10ft infront of the pc and still have perfect signal and responsiveness. even playing games like Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinite and such, I haven't noticed any lag with the unit thus far. Did you find this review helpful? |
Cheap & FunctionalPros: Cheap. It does its job without problems, I've been using this keyboard for a year & a half now. Cons: no lights for num-lock, etc. Did you find this review helpful? |
Risky PurchasePros: Standard layout Cons: Poor signal quality Other Thoughts: I bought this based on comments saying the range was great. However, I've had problems from the beginning with range. The signal is unreliable from <2ft away and does improve. As I type this from on top of the desk the PC sits under I frequently have to wait for the signal to re-establish. Searches show that I'm not the only one experiencing this, so there seem to be some quality issues with this combo. Did you find this review helpful? |
it sucksPros: its wireless and its cheap and comes with a mouse Cons: after a month the keyboard started failing sometimes you start writing and there is a HUGE delay.. it gets really annoying Other Thoughts: dont buy this Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Simple Cons: None Other Thoughts: If you're looking to buy this to use for a gaming PC, look elsewhere... If you're looking to buy it for an office or internet browsing PC, this is the PERFECT keyboard. Did you find this review helpful? |
Fantastic RangePros: -Amazing Range Cons: - None Other Thoughts: Amazing keyboard/mouse set. I bought this to wirelessly control my PC from upstairs when paired with a wireless HDMI transmitter and it works awesome. Yes, it's transmitting from a basement to the upper floor and it still works. The range is that good. Did you find this review helpful? |

Temple had the last word in its final Atlantic 10 regular-season clash against UMass with a thrilling 83-82 victory before a boisterous 7,348 last night at the Mullins Center.
The Owls (17-8, 6-5) and Minutemen (16-8, 6-6) could meet in the A-10 tournament, but the rivalry that shaped the league throughout the 1990s and into the new millennium is essentially over. Temple will begin play in the Big East next season.

Last Updated: January 19, 2009
It's hasn't been like this in years. Interest rates on conforming 30-year, fixed rate mortgages dropped to an average of 5.01 percent for the week ending, January 8, 2009. And those record–low interest rates are prompting homeowners to refinance their mortgages at levels not seen in years.
"It's as if the entire nation woke up one morning and decided they all wanted to refinance at the same time," Bill Malkoun of Prosperity Mortgage said in published reports.
If you are among the masses who are contemplating refinancing your mortgage, consider these questions and suggestions from FPA member, Michael Snowdon, CFP®, of Snowdon Financial.
- How long do you plan to stay in your home? You need to say long enough to justify any fees and closing costs. That's probably four to five years, or more.
- What are the rates and other terms? Is the rate fixed or variable? What are the prepayment penalties, fees and costs, and points? In today's economic environment, a variable rate loan probably should be over–scrutinized.
- Will the refinancing allow you to move from a variable-rate or interest–only loan, to a fixed-rate
loan? If so, that would be a good thing. You can check whether you will save by refinancing by using the calculator at Bankrate.com. - Can you afford the refinancing costs?
- Will you be forced to pay off your existing home equity line of credit (HELOC), and if so, does the refinancing still work?
- You need to check your credit rating and loan–to–value (the amount of equity still in home) to
determine the possible impact of refinancing. The loan–to–value ratio probably needs to be at least 10 to 20 percent, equity vs. loan amount. At the same time, it may make sense to check around. You never know what terms might be extended to you. - Is the lender reputable and, to the degree possible to check, financially viable? The old maxim, "if it sounds too good to be true," is still a good warning.
- If someone is offering to find you a great refinance rate on a new mortgage for pre–payment of a "finder's fee" of some sort, run, do not walk, as far away as possible. With the finder's fee, the lender makes you pay the fee upfront with no guarantees.
- It's probably not a good idea to take out equity as part of the deal in the current environment. With housing values mostly dropping, maintaining as much equity in the home is probably smart. This gives you a cushion in case the worst happens — the economy truly tanks and credit tightens even more. That said, it might make sense to arrange for a HELOC to have in reserve just in case.
- If you can access home equity to pay off consumer debt, and in doing so improve your overall financial situation, it's worth considering.

Toyota pays $29M to states to settle safety suit
Carmaker recently paid $17.4M federal fine
Posted: 02/14/2013
Last Updated:
301 days ago
Toyota says it will pay $29 million to 29 states and American Samoa as part of a settlement related to its safety recalls.
State attorneys general sued Toyota after it recalled 14 million vehicles globally in 2009 and 2010 for accelerating without warning. The lawsuit accused Toyota of failing to notify customers promptly about the problems.
As part of the settlement, Toyota says it will make vehicle information more easily accessible and deal more quickly with complaints. Toyota also will pay some restitution to owners.
Toyota blames sticky gas pedals and faulty floor mats for the acceleration issue.
Toyota has paid more than $1 billion to settle claims related to the recalls. It also recently paid a record $17.4 million fine to the U.S. government for failing to quickly report safety problems.

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
If you or your student needs help in Biology, Middle School Science, or General Study Skills make the right choice-use a CERTIFIED Teacher!I am a certified Biology teacher who has passed three state teaching exams (CT, MA, and TX). I am currently certified to teach Biology for students grades 7-12 in Massachusetts and Texas. I have taught science to grades 7-9 in the classroom and tutored students ages 5-18 after school. I really enjoy working one-on-one with students to help them make lasting connections with the material they are studying. As a classroom teacher having to reach many different learners, I know how to modify curriculum to meet various student needs. I also know how to use data to assess your student's current areas of strength and weakness so we can be most efficient with our time. Finally, I LOVE science and enjoy sharing my excitement for the topic with my students.In addition to tutoring students in the sciences, I also have experience working as a tutor for students needing help with study and organizational skills.My education includes a Master's Degree in Education from the University of Connecticut and majors in biology and environmental science at The College of William of Mary.
I have worked with middle and high school ESL students in the classroom and one-on-one for the past 3 years. I believe I am successful with ESL students because I have had several personal experiences as a non-native speaker. In high school, I studied abroad for a semester in Germany. Additionally, my husband's family often speaks exclusively in their native language. These experiences have allowed me to empathize with ESL students. I am a very patient tutor and truly enjoy helping ESL students... Read More
I am a certified teacher for middle and high school but have tutored elementary students as well. As a certified classroom teacher for middle and high school, I know the importance of the foundational skills students must learn in elementary school to be successful in middle school and beyond. When students are in elementary school, they need to work on the memorization of key facts, which is often viewed as a chore. My goal as a tutor is to make learning fun. I love to use tools such as play-dough... Read More
Study skills are so important to student success in any subject. I work with students to first find an organizational method that works best for them. Next, I help students break down the material from the eyes of an instructor. Finally, I stress the importance of time management and work with students to help them develop this skill. This is one of the most important skills students can learn for school and life! As a teacher, I have witnessed very smart students perform poorly due... Read More
Genetics is a discipline of biology that focuses on the genes, heredity, and variation found in living organisms. As a Biology major at The College of William and Mary, I really enjoyed this course.

Proteins created through the transcription and translation process are used in a variety of ways by organisms... Read More
As a certified teacher, I had to study for and take the Praxis exam. In addition to the Praxis, I have also passed the MTEL and TEA tests. I am happy to help other educators prepare for this test and share my experiences.

Do you have a particularly outrageous medical bill that you want to tell your Senators about? Do you spend an unacceptable amount every year on health care? Let Washington know by filling out the form to the right with your information. You can submit the information for just one bill or you can use the amount you spend for health care in a typical week, month, or year.
We'll generate a medical bill without all your personal information (except your name) that you can share on Facebook, print, and mail to your U.S. Senators. The bill also provides information on where the average health dollar is spent, including administrative costs, medical errors and insurance industry profits.
As the health care reform debate heats up on the hill, sometimes it feels like Congress doesn't see what we see. Will you help them understand the urgency of this crisis by sending your "medical bill" to Capitol Hill?

Hello Backcountry Pilots,
Is there any advantage in waxing airplane skis? The bottoms on my skis are mirror smooth plastic. Downhill snow skis are not smooth and are slightly groved the length of the ski. Anyway I landed in some real heavy snow yesterday and it was about 40 degrees F. It was real difficult to get up to take-off speed under these conditions. Everywhere else they worked just fine. Any "constructive" advise would be greatly appreciated.

MIND MELD: What Authors Influenced Today's YA Writers When They Were Young?
[Do you have an idea for a future Mind Meld? Let us know!]
Today's Young Adult authors are undoubtedly a big influence on young minds with the stories they tell and the rich worlds they create, but I've always wondered what authors and novels made an impression on them when they were young! So I asked them:
Here's what they said…
I have two rather different answers – Stephen King and Madeleine L'Engle. They both illustrated to me in different ways that you if you set it up properly, you can sell even the most ludicrous of storylines, and have your reader completely invested. If you've ever tried doing a one line pitch of any of their books you'll see – you sound ridiculous! But in your heart you know it's so good!

Set in the Cold War, the first person shooter game proves a very hot property this holiday season
The target has been hit.
In just 42 days, Activision's "Call of Duty: Black Ops" has made over $1 billion in sales, the game publisher announced Wednesday.
"In all of entertainment," Activision CEO Bobby Kotick told the New York Post, "only 'Call of Duty' and 'Avatar' have ever achieved the billion-dollar revenue milestone this quickly."
Well, kind of.
It took James Cameron's interstellar 3D epic, which came out on Dec. 18, 2009, only 20 days to hit the big B. Having said that, while "Avatar," which went on to become the highest grossing film of all time ( and the most pirated of 2010) with a worldwide box office of nearly $2.8 billion, retains the record right now, "Call of Duty: Black Ops" isn't exactly shooting wide – the seventh installment in the "Call of Duty" series, which retails for around $59.99, could become one of the most successful entertainment properties ever.
For one thing, it was much quicker to hit the billion dollar mark that its franchise predecessor. "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" took 64 days to make $1 billion after it came out in Nov. 2009.
With big pre-orders and line-ups at stores, the indications were all there right out of the gate for "Call of Duty: Black Ops" when it came out on Nov. 9 that the highly anticipated first person shooter game was going to prove to be a big hit.Published by Santa Monica-based Activision, "Call of Duty: Black Ops," set during the Cold War, made over $360 million in retail sales in the first 24 hours after it was released on Nov. 9. It has, according to Kotick, tallied up 600 million hours of online play.
All of which has proven very good for the company's bottom line.
Despite a recent $400 million lawsuit against industry heavyweight Electronic Arts and a breach of contract action against two former "Call of Duty" game developers who went to form their own company, shares in Activision have risen 10 percent this year, closing at $12. 24 on Dec. 21.

Doesn't change the fact that they're first party.
Also, Sly 4 isn't being developed by the original creators.
Hence mostly.
Though first-party-developed game exist, and that's an important distinction.

The All-Star Fallacy
May 29th, 2009 | by Ray Flowers |Major League baseball wants the fans involved, but they don't. They want everyone to love them, but at the same time they don't really care what we, the fans, think.
Did you happen to take a glance at the All-Star voting for the National League that was just released? I could go on and on about how stupid it is to allow the fans to select the starting lineups each year which almost always results in some undeserving player taking the roster spot of some deserving option, but I will do it quickly with three potential landmines thanks to the ballot box stuffing that is going on in Milwaukee
Rickie Weeks, out for the season, currently ranks second amongst all second baseman in votes.
J.J. Hardy, hitting all of .247 as of this writing is second in the voting at the shortstop position.
Bill Hall, making Hardy actually look like an All-Star with his .223 average, is also second at his position – third base.
The bottom line is that most fans are "homers" or flat out have no idea about anything related to performance on a ball field (not any of you reading this of course, I'm talking about those "other" fans). But I'll save my consternation over that for another time.
The real issue currently facing MLB and its fan voting for the All-Star game is that Manny Ramirez, suspended 50 games for violating the league's drug policy, is currently fourth amongst NL vote getters in the outfield putting him within striking distance of actually being voted to start the game. Manny will have served his suspension and officially be allowed to return to active duty with the Dodgers before the All-Star game, so how could major league baseball step in and stop Manny playing in the mid-summer's classic if that's what the fans want? Leave that to Mr. Doofus, aka Bud Selig, the commissioner of baseball, to step in a throw a monkey wrench in the plans.
"I'm going to think about that," Selig said. "He doesn't come back till July 3. Normally, I'm sensitive to the wishes of the fans. If the fans choose someone, I'd like to honor that. But we've been testing players for a long time, and it bothers me that someone would [cheat] at this stage in the game. I've got some time to think about this one."
Or how about this one from Manny's own manager, Joe Torre, who had this to say when asked if he felt Manny should be on the All-Star squad if he is voted in by the fans.
"No," Torre said. "I think if you asked Manny, he'd give you the same answer…To me, I think the significance of the All-Star Game is to reward players who have a good first half."
I'm no apologist for Manny, and in fact I blasted him when the whole scandal broke in my article entitled Shame On You, so I have to say that I agree with Joe Torre completely here – you should only be allowed to play in the game if your performance earns you that right, which is why I mentioned the word "fallacy" in the title of this piece and decried the stupidity that is rearing its ugly head in Milwaukee with their idiotic ballot box stuffing.
As for what Mr. Selig said, my response is more biting.
Mr. Selig, do you EVER make the right choice? I could list a myriad of instances to show you how profoundly asinine the majority of his decisions are, but I won't bore you other than to comment on the current situation.
Mr. Selig you gave the fans the right to vote for whomever they want to see start the All-Star game. Therefore, you have to live with their choices no matter how profoundly ridiculous they are.
Are we living in a communist society with a dictator arbitrarily making up his own rules when he doesn't like what he sees going on? I'm sure we would all like it if we were driving down the street one day, going 35 in a 35 zone, only to get pulled over by a police officer who, despite the fact that the law states it is a 35 mph zone feels that it's too fast so he's going to give you a ticket anyway. A stupid example perhaps, but it still illustrates the point – societies operate on an agreed upon set of rules, and in this case Mr. Selig is taking about amending those rules mid-stream.
I don't know if any of you remember your political science class from high school, but back then we learned about a little thing in our legal system called "ex post facto law" which states that government may not change a law today to punish you for something you did yesterday. I know we aren't talking about a legal system here with baseball, but the bottom line is that if there is nothing on the baseball books about removing a player from All-Star consideration because of a failed a drug test, and if there is no one has ever shown it to me, then Manny, no matter how much of a shame it would be, must be allowed to start the game if the fans vote him in. Last time I checked, despite all of its legal privileges, MLB was not outside the realm of the U.S. Constitution (see Article I, Section 9), so Manny must be allowed to play.
Do you think I missed my calling and that I should have gone into law school instead of sports? Me neither, though it's fun playing a fancy pants, morally superior person every once in a while. You might want to try it yourself sometime. God knows Mr. Selig does it all the time.

Alumni and current students joined together at St. Thomas More Church in December to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the St. John's University Mixed Chorus.
Photo Gallery
The event featured over 100 past and present members singing hymns and leading prayer before the packed church, culminating in a rousing performance of the "Hallelujah Chorus." Clark K. Oler, Jr., Director of the University Mixed Chorus, conducted the ensemble throughout the evening.
"Seeing so many St. John's singers, both alumni and students, perform together at one time was wonderful," said Joann P. Trimarco '71Ed. "This night was truly an unforgettable experience."
After the service, the centennial celebration continued at a reunion dinner in the St. John's School of Law.
"I was so happy to be a part of what I hope will become a new tradition here at St. John's," said Clare M. Byrne '76C, '80MBA, '06MLS. "It was so awesome to participate in this event."
The celebration was planned by the St. John's University Chorus Reunion Committee, consisting of alumni, faculty and administrators, and headed by committee chair Joseph R. Gagliano, Jr. '82C, '85L. The group hopes to make this an annual event in the future.

Glossary |
Login to the extranet | Glossarycasebook methodTribunal inquiries generally follow the casebook method. This involves planning – as far as is possible – the research required for an inquiry and completing that research before hearings start. The completed research is then bundled together into volumes (collectively known as a 'casebook') and distributed to the lawyers representing the claims in the inquiry. One of the aims of the casebook method is to shorten the hearing process by avoiding the need to undertake research once hearings have started. It also helps claimants to particularise (fully detail) their claims before hearings start, and it helps the Crown prepare its response to the claims. combined recordFor each claim it registers, the Tribunal sets up a record of inquiry (or record) to hold the documents that relate to that claim. Where the Tribunal conducts an inquiry into a group of claims, it usually combines all the records of inquiry of those claims into one record – the combined record of inquiry. When it does this, the Tribunal allocates the combined record of inquiry an independent Wai number that does not represent any individual claim. For example, Wai 1200 is the reference for the combined record of inquiry for the 170 or so claims that the Tribunal is inquiring into in the central North Island district inquiry. Crown Forestry Rental TrustDespite its name, the Crown Forestry Rental Trust is not a Crown agency. It is an independent trust that was established in 1989, as a result of an agreement between the Crown and Māori, to receive the rental proceeds from the licensing of Crown forest land. The trust uses the interest earned from the rentals to assist Māori to prepare and present claims to the Waitangi Tribunal. It also provides assistance for Māori to negotiate settlements with the Office of Treaty Settlements. The trust is the largest funder of research for Tribunal claims. More information about Crown Forestry Rental Trust can be found at its website. Crown Law OfficeThe Crown Law Office is a Government department that acts as the Government's principal legal adviser. Lawyers from the office represent the Crown at Tribunal hearings and provide legal advice to the Crown in the course of settlement negotiations. More information about the role of the Crown Law Office can be found at its website. interlocutory phaseThe interlocutory phase is where the issues for a Waitangi Tribunal inquiry are particularised and refined. It commences once the casebook is completed and distributed. The process begins with clarification of the statements of claim. Once these are finalised, the Crown responds to the claims in a document called the statement of response. In this document the Crown will accept or deny the claims against it. The Tribunal then issues a statement of issues, which sets out the issues of contention between the claimants and the Crown. This document defines the issues to be considered in the inquiry. By working through this process, the parties and the Tribunal define a set of focused parameters for the inquiry and lay the basis for an efficient process. judicial conferenceA conference of parties or intended parties or their counsel presided over by a judge, directed to be held by a judge where there is an application for review. At any such conference, the presiding officer may settle the issues to be determined, add or strike out parties, direct service, give directions as to statements of defence, require any party to make admissions in respect of questions of fact, fix a timetable for the filing of documents, require discovery, permit interrogatories, and give directions as to filing the record of any proceedings which are to be reviewed. Legal Services AgencyThe Legal Services Agency is another key stakeholder, providing legal aid to claimants for legal representation of their claims before the Waitangi Tribunal. Information about the Legal Services Agency can be found on its website. mandateA contract by which one person employs another in the management of his or her affairs. mediationThe Tribunal may refer a claim to mediation. The mediator may be a Tribunal member, or any other suitable person. The mediator's duty is to use her or his best endeavours to bring about a settlement of the claim. memorialised landsMemorialised lands are lands owned, or formerly owned, by a State-owned enterprise or tertiary institution, or former New Zealand Railway lands, that have a notation, or memorial, on their certificate of title advising that the Waitangi Tribunal may recommend that the land be returned to Māori ownership. Office of Treaty SettlementsThe Office of Treaty Settlements is part of the Ministry of Justice and is the key Government agency involved in the settlement of claims. The office negotiates the settlement of historical Treaty claims on behalf of the Crown, and is responsible for the implementation of these settlements. It also runs the Government's protection mechanism for surplus Crown owned land, which mechanism includes the 'land banking' of certain properties for possible use in Treaty settlements. The office has published a booklet for claimants entitled Healing the Past, Building a Future: A Guide to Treaty of Waitangi Claims and Direct Negotiations with the Crown (also known as the 'Red Book'). More information about the Office of Treaty Settlements can be found on its website. raupatu or 'raupatu element' (Māori, confiscation)Section 7 of the Waikato Raupatu Claims Settlement Act 1995 defines 'raupatu' as: the confiscation of land in the Waikato claim area, and includes the related invasion, hostilities, war, loss of life, destruction of taonga and property, and consequent suffering, distress, and deprivation … Te Puni KōkiriTe Puni Kōkiri, or the Ministry of Māori Development, is the Government's principal adviser on the Crown's relationship with iwi, hapu, and Māori, and on key Government policies as they affect Māori. Along with other Government departments and Ministries, Te Puni Kōkiri provides advice to the Government on Treaty issues. In particular, it advises the Government on the mandating procedure for the settlement of Treaty claims. More information about Te Puni Kōkiri can be found on its website. urgent inquiriesThe urgency procedure was introduced in the early 1990s to provide an avenue for claimants alleging that they were suffering or would soon suffer irreversible prejudice from a current Treaty breach. Urgent inquiries form an appreciable part of the Tribunal's business and take precedence over regular inquiries. In the last five years, two types of urgent inquiry have predominated. On the one hand, as the pace of progress towards negotiated Treaty settlements has escalated, so have the number of applications for urgent inquiry from claimant groups contesting the status, methods or outcomes of settlement processes. On the other, claimants have challenged current Crown policy or action in areas ranging from the specific and local to the nationally significant. Examples of the latter are rights to petroleum resources and the foreshore and seabed legislation. In deciding an application for urgency, the Tribunal has regard to a number of factors. Of particular importance are whether:

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has officially closed a regulatory loophole that was utilised by MF Global to maximise how much client money it could use for its own prop trading.
Along with a number of customer funds protection measures, the agency Friday shut down the 'alternative method', which had allowed futures commission merchants (FCMs) to hold a lower amount of funds representing the margin on their foreign futures.
The alternative method has been little used recently and earlier this year the CFTC strongly recommended firms dispatch with the practice.
The new rules require FCMs to strengthen controls over the treatment and monitoring of funds held for customers trading on US derivatives markets in segregated accounts and for funds held for foreign futures and foreign option customers trading on foreign derivatives markets.
FCMs must now hold sufficient funds in secured accounts to meet total obligations to customers trading on foreign markets computed under the net liquidating equity method representing the total account balance owed to customers.
FCMs must also now have published polices on how they govern and maintain proprietary funds.
Any withdrawals in excess of 25% of the excess segregated or secured funds that aren't for the benefit of customers must be pre-approved in writing by senior management, and the FCM must file notice with industry body the National Futures Association (NFA) of any withdrawal of 25% or more of the excess segregated or secured amount funds that are not for the benefit of customers.
The NFA proposed to the CFTC the rules for FCMs.
An estimated US$1.6 billion from client accounts held by MF Global went missing after the firm filed for bankruptcy in October last year; it is alleged that former company CEO Jon Corzine deliberately used client funds to cover the firm's own prop trading shortfalls. More recently, Russell Wasendorf senior, the owner of FCM Peregrine Financial Group, was accused of fraud by the CFTC, after alleging that he committed fraud by misappropriating customer funds, violating customer fund segregation laws and making false statements in financial documents filed by the firm.

Nightmare at the MuseumCorporate Counsel 2012-12-01 00:00:00.0 The U.S. Supreme Court will decide a copyright case this term that could have serious unintended consequences for the nation's art museums. If it upholds a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, every museum in the country that exhibits modern art created overseas could potentially be infringing artists' copyrights. "The most basic of museum functionsexhibiting artcould give rise to infringement claims," says Stefan Mentzer, a partner with White & Case who filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court on behalf of the Association of Art Museum Directors and 28 museums of art. "The decision has the potential to disrupt the mission of American museums and interfere with the public's access to art." On its face, Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons has nothing to do with modern art. It concerns Supap Kirtsaeng, who came to the United States from Thailand to study at Cornell Universityand found that textbooks published in Asia by Wiley were cheaper than those available in the U.S. He got relatives to ship him copies of the textbooks and made money selling them on eBay. Wiley sued Kirtsaeng for infringing its U.S. copyrights on the books' domestic editions. Kirtsaeng's defense was based on a provision of copyright law first recognized by the high court in 1908, called the "first-sale doctrine," which allows people to sell used books without permission from the copyright owner. Wiley, however, argued that it doesn't apply to books or other copyrighted materials made overseas. The federal district court and the Second Circuit agreed, and Kirtsaeng appealed to the Supreme Court. How does the outcome affect museums? The doctrine not only gives the owner of a work the right to resell it, but also to display and lend it without obtaining permission from the copyright holder. Museums had long understood that the law applied to works produced both in the U.S. and overseas. But now that's not clear. "The decision calls into question whether we have the ability to publicly display nearly half our collection," says Troy Klyber, IP manager of the Art Institute of Chicago. |

text: Presenting a superlative and stunning soft contemporary home in a wooded setting created by the top tier team of Bodron+Fruit Architecture, landscaping by MESA, and contractor Elite Homes by John and Stephen Hardy. Built to last generations and completed in 2009, there is thoughtful consideration given to the gorgeous materials that include Cottonwood limestone, mahogany and copper exteriors, rift cut white oak and Gasgone marble floors, and custom cabinetry built onsite, combining with a sophisticated textured landscape and attention to environmental sensitivity. The floor plan offers large open spaces with seamless connections to the exteriors yet feels warm and enveloping for the couple who commissioned it. The great room soars with a 14 foot height ceiling, featuring a marble-clad Rumford fireplace, giving views of nature through steel windows and leading to front and rear terraces through wide pocket doors. A magnificent 5000 volume library with floor to ceiling millwork provides a private and cozy setting. The kitchen features elm clad Bulthaup cabinets with custom inserts and an oversized corner window. Cleverly hidden behind a wall of cabinetry is a working pantry with added equipment and china storage. A spacious den, highlighted by a limestone fireplace surrounded by bookcases, allows room for the breakfast table and is open to the kitchen. There is an easy transition to the pool and cabana by a wall of sliding glass doors through a mechanized screened terrace. On the opposite wing, the ground level master bedroom also views the pool through eastern exposures. A limestone fireplace, hidden TV and an office tucked behind the bed wall complete the bedroom suite. The luxurious spa style master bath is clad with book-matched Calacatta slab marble, has heated floors, his and her WCs plus two spacious walk-in closets. Artful landscape design provides much privacy yet southern light into the bath. Upstairs are two elegant guest suites with large corner glass exposures. At the top of the stairs the exercise room is comfortable with a soft floor, ballet bar and a yoga wall. Two powders, a large utility and storage closets round out the first floor. The basement tells the story of the amazingly well built structure that employs a commercial quality concrete and steel foundation, a geothermal HVAC system, integrated whole home audio/video system, Lutron automated lighting and shading designed by Craig Roberts Co, water and dust filtration, wiring in-conduit, and a de-humidifier. As if that weren't enough, there is a backup generator designed to run the house if power is disabled. On a 1.3 acre site, the entry through a discreetly designed gate and security camera leads past an award-winning landscape featuring a naturalized forest of native trees plus the strategic additions of blooming trees, shrubs, and flowers that provide year-round seasonal color and a privacy screen from the street. In contrast, the rear yard is meticulously manicured with power lines buried under the row of mature magnolia trees. There are delightful outdoor amenities including a putting and chipping green, a saltwater infinity pool and spa, a mahogany lattice covered terrace, and a screened terrace with a fireplace. The glass-walled cabana features a full bath, kitchenette, and wall cabinets enclosing a pull-out desk and flat screen TV. For long term care of the home there is an extensive drainage system, UV film on the windows, and foam insulation added to all exterior walls and ceilings. This one of a kind property is not to be missed!
