PUNE: Pimpri Chinchwad municipal commissioner Shrikar Pardeshi has been provided with an armed policeman after he received an anonymous threat on Friday for acting tough against encroachments. Besides, security in the municipal corporation office has been tightened.
Pardeshi said, " I have spoken to the deputy commissioner of police of zone three. The anti-encroachment drive would continue as per directives of the state government and the high court."
Deputy commissioner of police (zone III) Shahaji Umap said, "The municipal commissioner has handed over the letter to the police. The Pimpri police station has registered a complaint. Sudhir Chowgule, assistant commissioner of police, Pimpri, will conduct an inquiry into the matter."
Umap said that one armed policeman will be with Pardeshi all the time. "I have briefed the security guards at the civic body's main building about measures they need to take. They have been told to check visitors thoroughly, especially those who wish to meet the commissioner," Umap said.
Umap said that investigations have proved that the letter was posted from Bhosari. The letter warns the municipal commissioner that he will have to face the consequences if the anti-encroachment drive is not stopped.
Meanwhile, Pardeshi said on Friday that the administration may to stop providing civic amenities to unauthorized constructions. "A proposal will be tabled at the next general body meeting. The move is aimed at preventing growth of unauthorized constructions in future. Amenities such as water/drainage connections and approach roads will not be provided to them," Pardeshi said.
The issue of unauthorized constructions was also debated in the general body meeting for nearly two hours on Friday. Replying to the debate, Pardeshi said the civic administration has submitted information to the high court in March that it has sent notices to 66,124 unauthorised constructions in the city. "The issue has been in the news for the past one and half years so it is incorrect to say that the people did not know that the civic body would remove them," he said.
Pardeshi reiterated his stand that the civic administration will continue with the anti-encroachment drive to remove all illegal structures that have come up or are being built after March 31, 2012.
On Saturday, major political parties and social organizations in Pimpri Chinchwad condemned the threat issued to municipal commissioner Pardeshi.
Baban Zinjurde, president, Pimpri Chinchwad Mahanagarpalika Karmachari Mahasangh said, "The employees of the civic body held a meeting to condemn the threat. We support the municipal commissioner." Senior and junior civic officials and employees wore black ribbons to register their protest. Pimpri Chinchwad mayor Mohini Lande, BJP, Shiv Sena, Nagari Hakka Suraksha Samiti and Kashtakari Kamgar Panchayat have condemned the threat.

IntercontinentalExchange Group And DTCC Announce Plans For Interest Rate Futures Listed On NYSE Liffe U.S.
NEW YORK, Nov. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- IntercontinentalExchange Group (NYSE: ICE) and The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) today announced plans to transition the clearing of interest rate futures listed on NYSE Liffe U.S. from New York Portfolio Clearing (NYPC) to ICE Clear Europe centralizing the trading and clearing of ICE's global interest rate product portfolio. NYPC's operations will be wound down and open interest transferred by the third quarter of 2014, subject to regulatory approval.
Further extending the strong relationship between NYSE and DTCC, ICE has assumed NYSE's license for futures on the DTCC GCF Repo Index®. ICE and DTCC are also in discussions regarding a new cross-margining solution that would offer capital efficiencies across a broader range of global interest-rate products.

"ICE has always been focused on customer needs by providing innovative solutions to business and regulatory concerns," said Lynn Martin, CEO, NYSE Liffe U.S. and CEO, NYPC. "We believe that the centralization of clearing services for our global interest rate futures provides customers with significant capital and infrastructure efficiencies at a critical time."Since its launch in July 2012, futures on the DTCC GCF Repo Index® have experienced widespread market adoption with a diverse range of banks, hedge funds and asset managers adopting the product as a tool for their risk management needs. Open interest in the product complex has reached an all-time high as more market participants integrate these products into their global portfolios. NYPC has saved members approximately $40 billion in margin associated with fixed income and futures portfolios since coming to market in March 2011.

You've really captured the moment brilliantly.
Poor lonely blog, taking a backseat to everyone and everything
Putting together a blog post is a tremendous amount of creative energy and work. Because of this, it often gets pushed off.
That said, everyday, we are working on photos and have to yell out to everyone in the office "this is a sweet photo, we need to blog this"… but usually never do
So from now on, we are going to post single photos whenever the heck we want! So here we go
Photo from Clare and John's backyard wedding in Princeton, NJ. This was shot in their BACKYARD!! Yummy!
What a perfect spot for a wedding. Backyard weddings are probably my favourites! I have quite a few on my site as well.
Cheers from Vancouver, BC!

Awesome photo, I love the tilt shift effect! What a great back yard too!
Looks like the clearing in Twilight! BEAUTIFUL!! I want to live there
Love it! And love the post…I totally hear ya!
Eric and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary! We didn't want to do anything crazy. We just wanted to spend the day appreciating all the little and big things that we have done together over the past 5 years. This year we are especially grateful for our daughter, the cutest, most smiley, gleeful little girl in the world. We woke up feeling very nostalgic. So we jumped in the car and headed up to West Park Winery for a little picnic on the hilltop where we got married. It was blazing hot, much like our wedding day. We both tried so hard to pretend that this was uber romantic and such an amazing moment. Which it was. But there was no hiding the feeling that you walked into a sauna with a snow suit on. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful day to take a drive with the AC on full blast and recap our wedding highlights. We also spent the day watching Marlie TV – which basically means we sat on the floor watching her every move for hours, never getting bored of her entertainment. She's a hoot – clapping, waving, saying dada, screeching at the highest octave possible, and she does the wounded soldier crawl now too. Marlie's about 7.5 months in these shots, loving every minute of life, and making our world super special.
Adorable, love the colors.
Aww, cute! What a happy kid.
And I thought the hand jesture in Pic II meant "Surf's up Dude". or even Hook em' Horns, that is a University of Texas Long Horns rally cry. Either way she is too cool for words!
You do realize that little smartie is saying "I love you" in sign language in that second pic. Love these! Love her!
Happy Anniversary!! Beautiful and happy family! xoxo
Absolutely adorable. I love Marlie's dress. You guys never cease to amaze me.
Congrats guys! It's awesome to see people who love their family as much as you and Brooke Obviously do. Next time we are in NY we have to meet up.
Happy Anniversary!!!! Love the Marlie TV comment – sometimes we say the same thing about the dogs. Endless entertainment, wonder and comedy. Congrats you two (or three. four including Maggie!)!
marlie is so lucky. she'll have so many beautiful photos to look back to.
congratulations on your 5th anniversary, brooke and eric. you don't know me but lisa has shared so many photos and stories of your family with all of us at work.
Haha! Marlie knows sign language (see her left hand in the second picture)! She's way advanced!
What beautiful pictures! Marlie looks so adorable. I love the colors of that dress and those eyes! Can't wait to see you very soon. Xo
Marlie, Marlie, Marlie! I'm speechless. Just…speechless. (Sniff)
What a beautiful baby!! Just like 1+1=2 , Eric + Brooke = MARLIE! She is a gem- you guys deserve all this happiness and to see your talent capture these moments is simply breathtaking. Thank you for sharing these photos- even without your comments, your images speak the words. LOVE THEM!!
Great pictures – Marlie B looks fantastic in her rainbow dress – she is developing allot of expretions which you really captured.
Your marriage, your story, your daughter, and these photos are all beautiful.
Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations to Danielle and Rob. Reuniting with old friends for a photo shoot is pretty awesome! These two are Eric's college buddies from UMass and they haven't see each other much over the last 10 years. Damn that makes us like dinosaurs. So honored that they chose to hire Be Creative. Their engagement session was in Brooklyn where they got engaged. I love their connection in this photo and the way their arms are crossed and the bridge is crossing overhead makes for a really cool composition.
A quiet moment capturing the undeniable landmark that is the Brooklyn Bridge.
The shoot was a lot of fun and a lot of goofing around. But not lacking in tender moments like this with some awesome color to boot.
Now this is the good stuff.
I'm sure they were thinking, what the hell are we doing at this loading door? But it's a pretty cool shot.
Probably one of my favorites from the shoot. We kinda love capturing a little sun flare.
Can't wait for the big day!
If any one out there wants an engagement session in Brooklyn contact us.
Love the Tilt/shift shot with the bridge in the background… great composition and light
very nice set, the penultimate is great, it shows motion, one wonders what she is doing, it is pretty cool!
Love all the engagement images. Great colors,lighting and texture.
This is an awesome engagement set. Really sweet.
Love that first one!
Great compositions. Looks like your day was a fun one. The couple look like they really have a deep connection, that is awesome!
wow colors
Great set of images. My favorite is the photo under the bridge with the sun setting and flaring behind the couple. Nice capture of a difficult scene to photograph.
Awesome work. You've captured some amazing images.
LOVE that second shot – gorgeous composition and I love your treatment of it! Beautiful session.
You both do such beautiful work. Your pictures make me want to get married all over again just so I can have pictures like all of the ones on this websie.
Fabulous, gorgeous and amazing, as usual! <3
And you sure do "kinda love capturing a little sun flare" – the sun flare shot from my wedding is always the second-most-admired photo in the bunch (the first-most being the one with the leaves).
Yay! Congratulations to Eric for his recent WPJA winning photo!

'Project Runway' recap: Hats on, hats off
Bibi Fri 08/20/10 10:00 AM
This show is really losing it for me. What the heck are they drinking? I kept wondering all week why Heidi Klum was wearing a gift wrap bow on her head. Oh, it's a rose. She looked ridiculous. The hats were fun for the most part. Gretchen needs a real attitude adjustment. In most shows, fast starters usually fade for some reason.
Summer Fri 08/20/10 10:00 AM
Is it just me, or is 90 minutes WAY too much time for a PR episode?
dj Fri 08/20/10 10:10 AM
I don't think the extra 30 minutes adds anything.
Amy Fri 08/20/10 12:18 PM
It just enables them to be catty toward one another.
Gretchen needs to get off her high horse and stop being so judgmental. She keeps talking about how so many of her fellow contestants put out work that could be describe "fashion school work" (I may be paraphrasing here). However, she's only 28; it's not as though she's had years and years of experience.
I found Ivy particularly annoying this episode. Perhaps they gave her something extra at the hospital?
BLB Fri 08/20/10 6:38 PM
@Amy: "Student work." It's so condescending.
- Amy
Fridge Fri 08/20/10 10:15 AM
It wouldn't be too long if they started making the challenges two days instead of just one. Why do they ALWAYS have to be so rushed. I'd love to see what these designers could do in two days.
Nik Fri 08/20/10 10:30 AM
I agree! What happened to the two day challenges? This episode had so much potential that with an extra day we could have seen some amazing garments.
Julia Fri 08/20/10 12:49 PM
Yes, I agree. Hope Bravo is listening.
But I do think they are showing more of the clothes on the runway than they used to, and that's a definite plus.
Julia Fri 08/20/10 12:50 PM
Oops, just said "Hope Bravo is listening." Obviously I meant "Hope Lifetime with all the boring ads for their drippy shows is listening."

I do like the added footage of the designers waiting backstage. We get even more bitchiness. Like the tepid clapping for Micheal C.
mimi Fri 08/20/10 12:45 PM
All the extra half hour does is show ugly sides of people I'd rather not see – Backstage conversations I could live with out, catty conversations between everyone about someone else's talent, dress, etc.
Pinky Shears Fri 08/20/10 1:17 PM
Oh that's half the fun. The fashion has been ehh so we need something interesting. I mean if it weren't for Cassanova's malapropisms and Mondo's weird behaior would we care if they were still there?
- Pinky Shears
pylgrym Fri 08/20/10 3:02 PM
It's perfecy. I just tune in for the last 30 minutes. I get to see the runway w/o the drama. Then I read the recap and check out Tim's comments. These are not people I want to spend time around.
SUZIE Mon 08/23/10 12:11 AM
i tape the show fast forward after i hear the challenge and then watch the runway show and judging, the rest is boring and annoying
Terri Fri 08/20/10 7:32 PM
I really like the 90 minutes.
- dj
Mark G Fri 08/20/10 10:00 AM
The hats were all astoundingly ridiculous, and beyond anything any earthling would wear- visitors to this planet, of course, might find them more to their liking. In spite of them, there were some great looks last night, and the winner truly deserved it! Michael Kors line about the panties, taking them off one at a time so you have enough for 3 days- PRICELESS!!
Samantha Fri 08/20/10 10:02 AM
I didn't think Christopher should have been in the bottom three. They had nothing nice to say about his either. Sad face.
I most definitely rolled my eyes once I realized what was going on. At first I thought something was wrong with my TV because surely they weren't playing that song…
Fridge Fri 08/20/10 10:18 AM
I think his dress would have been better with a little editing. There was just too much going on. I thought that the coat/vest was really pretty, I don't care if the judges thought it looked like drapes. However, I think he should have done just a simple black sheath dress under it and nixed the leggings and the boots. A simple black pump would have showcased the coat/vest more instead of competing with it like the boots and leggings did.

Karenlibrarian Fri 08/20/10 9:35 PM
April's hat was EXACTLY like a Dr. Seuss hat! That's just what I thought.
- Karenlibrarian
- Fridge
Roma Fri 08/20/10 10:05 AM
OK, I'll say it. This was one hideous challenge. The hats are atrocious (unless you are Lady GaGa there is no need to put your head into a hat that looks like Shrek artfully pooped on you)and to have to create something to go with something so hideous is beyond punishment. That said, all that needed to be done to accent the Orchid hat was to do a green column dress to evoke stem and leaves, and April should have been gone for making her model look like she had multiple diapers on and forgot her pants.
Fridge Fri 08/20/10 10:13 AM
OMG, I almost spit out my coffee on my keyboard. Your line "a hat that looks like Shrek artfully pooped on you" is beyond perfect for most of those hats. I think the real challenge was keeping a straight face when calling those hats "artistic" and "avant garde".
Fridge Fri 08/20/10 10:20 AM
Perfect comment "a hat that looks like Shrek artfully pooped on you". I think the real challenge was the designers keeping a staight face while saying the hats were "artistic" and "avant garde". Yuck.
Sookie Fri 08/20/10 11:10 AM
I thought the same thing about the orchid hat, just make a green wrap around dress that makes you think of stems.
Pinky Shears Fri 08/20/10 11:12 AM
My suggestion was a yellow and black bumble bee dress, but I was going for sarcasm to go along with the horrid "hat".
R3 Fri 08/20/10 4:40 PM
A bumblebee dress for the orchid! What a hoot!
- Pinky Shears
Jenn Fri 08/20/10 1:05 PM
I thought the same thing about doing a green dress…even said it out loud to the TV! LOL Or do a sunny, colorful dress to evoke a garden scene with the orchid being highlighted as the "queen of the garden." That thing Kristin made was AWFUL! That one pink column looked like the model stepped into it wrong and it went between her legs. ICK!
- Fridge
studiorose Fri 08/20/10 10:05 AM
I was happy for Michael and impressed that he didn't try to win sympathy by mentioning that it was his second attempt. BAD other designers for not giving him more kudos; whether or not they thought he deserved the win, they could at least be gracious. And how kind of Kristin to offer him her sincere congrats before she left!
dj Fri 08/20/10 10:06 AM
Definitely not one of my favorite challenges…I didn't think any of the designers came up with anything interesting. Gretchen has become almost unbearable – which means she will probably win.
Marci Fri 08/20/10 11:10 AM
I agree about Gretchen, I can't stand her either, but I honestly thought she had a great outfit that did go with the hat last night. I was surprised she was not in the top 3 again.
- Marci
Mary Fri 08/20/10 10:07 AM
I kind of hated all the looks in this episode. I hated Michael C. the least so I'm happy he won. Ivy's griping that he was in the top two and she wasn't – EXCUSE ME GIRL? She sent the most boring outfit down the runway! Gretchen might be an insufferable Queen Bee but at least she's turned out some decent designs.
And I like Mondo. I'm actually looking forward to what he turns out every week.
Terri Fri 08/20/10 7:35 PM
Ivy decided what she was going to make before the challenge was announced, and thought she spun gold or something the way she talked. FAIL.
- Terri
MsDaisy Fri 08/20/10 10:09 AM
I'm just happy that we weren't forced to listen to Gretchen's constant yammering this week.
Reena Fri 08/20/10 10:12 AM
I am getting sick of Gretchen…did anybody catch the previews for next week maybe they are just tricking us but it seems like the judges rip her a new one….As for the winner I really thought Christopher's was nice but then I notice the crotch of the leggings and kinda started to agree with the judges I dont think Michael C should have won I really like Valerie's she is the Susan Lucci of Project Runway :-)
CoCo Chenille Fri 08/20/10 10:23 AM
susan Lucci, ha! Yes, I was just rating the runway over on the Lifetime site. Her outfit photographs very prettily. That Treacy dude was clueless.
CoCo Chenille Fri 08/20/10 10:24 AM
Oh, and I think the only reason she didn't win this challenge is because of him. All the other judges seemd to lover Valerie's dress. Humph! I'm done.
fg Fri 08/20/10 11:57 AM
While her dress was cute, it had no connection to the mask/hat thingy which was what the challenge was all about. It may have been a dumb challenge but I don't blame the hat guy for calling her on it.
- CoCo Chenille
Pinky Shears Fri 08/20/10 12:37 PM
True but then again his mask had no relation to a hat so I don't think he really has room to criticize her connection to a hat that wasn't actually there.
- CoCo Chenille
JN Fri 08/20/10 10:15 AM
Missy, thank you for: Oh, and what's with the sudden Betty Crockering of the makeup?

I liked the other Michael's better and tho't he should've won. And Christopher should NOT have been in the bottom. I, along with most, tho't he was going to be in the top. The judges have had bizarre taste this season. But at least we're getting a much better runway show. Nina seems to have had trouble seeing the outfit from maybe the glare of the lights?? She kept shielding her eyes.
Jules Fri 08/20/10 11:31 AM
I think she was trying to see the dress for it was without the hat.

jt Fri 08/20/10 10:18 AM
I liked Andy's and Mondo's.
Marci Fri 08/20/10 11:42 AM
You liked Mondo's? Seriously, would you wear that? Would you go out in public wearing those giant polka dot pants? How about painting on a mustache? The guy is weird – not artfully weird – just "hearing voices" (from fabrics, no less) weird.
@ marci Fri 08/20/10 12:40 PM
Wearing it in public is not really relevant. Would you wear those hats in public? The cardboard top that was in the top 3? I liked it too. It was one of the few that was designed in the spirit of the challenge.
Sookie Fri 08/20/10 3:27 PM
The polka dot pants definitely made her but look HUGE.
Marci Fri 08/20/10 4:00 PM
Okay, if wearing the clothes is not relevant, what exactly is the point? Are designers there to make us clothes or art? How many times have we heard Heidi and other judges say, "I would totally" wear that," or "I would never wear that." ?? If Heidi Klum (or anyone else) ever shows up on a runway with a painted mustache, wearing those god-awful, big polka dot, butt ugly pants I'll eat the hat.
- @ marci
Cherry Fri 08/20/10 1:47 PM
Okay, I was gonna stay quiet, but I liked Mondo's too. He's the most innovative in my opinion. He's kinda weird but in an endearing way. I didn't much care for Michael C's. But, whatever, it is what is.
Terri Fri 08/20/10 7:37 PM
I love Mondo a little more each week. I love Peach, too, but I don't think she's long for the competition. Everything is boring and pink. Everything. I LOVE pink, but girl needs to try a different crayon.
- Terri
Zazazing Fri 08/20/10 3:17 PM
I find Mondo and his designs really interesting. There was something very Salvador Dali-ish about the hat his model wore, so I thought painting a Dali mustache on her was pretty clever. The outfit was kooky, yes, but interesting!
JenR Sat 08/21/10 8:56 AM
Agreed. Mondo is the most creative designer this season.
- JenR
- Marci
Pinky Shears Fri 08/20/10 10:24 AM
Some of it just seeems so staged to me. You mean April couldn't see that she needed to add more material. Really Chris in the bottom 3. Gretchens looked like something from my goodwill bad, and while I liked Peaach's she is just too "normal".

Website Helps Make Saving a Habit
October 17, 2012
Saving money can be a challenge even in the strongest of economic times, and according to a University of Illinois Extension consumer economics educator, an increasing number of Americans are having difficulty saving money for everything from emergencies to retirement.
"The most important thing about savings is just to do it," said Kathy Sweedler. "Make the change now to either start saving regularly or to increase the amount you are saving."
Sweedler recommended to those who want to get started on a personal savings to sign up for the free America Saves program at http://americasaves.org/.
"It's a national program created by the American Savings Education Council that encourages people to set a savings goal and to regularly save money," Sweedler said. "When you join America Saves, you will receive free newsletters and access to online tools such as the 'My Savings Tracker."
You'll get regular reminders of your saving goal. It's those small, friendly, encouraging nudges that are often helpful to develop new habits such as a savings habit," she said.
Sweedler described another new tool that can motivate saving. "America Saves has partnered with SaveUp, the nation's first free rewards program for saving money and reducing debt," she said.
SaveUp is available free to Americans who bank at more than 18,000 U.S. financial institutions. To participate with SaveUp, go to https://www.saveup.com/.
"Unlike traditional rewards programs that focus on driving consumer spending, SaveUp rewards users with credits for performing positive financial actions, such as contributing to their savings or retirement accounts; paying down their credit cards, mortgages or other loans; and engaging with SaveUp's financial education content on the site," Sweedler said. "SaveUp users can use their credits to pay for exciting rewards such as retail gift cards, electronics, vacations, home makeovers, cars and even a $2 million jackpot."
Sweedler said she has tried the new SaveUp program and likes it.
"If you enjoy the excitement of playing the lottery, this may give you the same 'buzz' and you will save money rather than spend it," she said.

Apple to bring interactive textbooks to the iPad with iBooks 2 (Updated)
Today is Apple's big education event and the company kicked off its announcements with iBooks 2, which will bring a new textbook experience to the iPad. As expected, these textbooks will include standard text interspersed with interactive high-quality images, videos, animations and 3-D models.
This content will be more than pretty; it will provide students with an immersive learning environment. They will be able to pinch to zoom on images, tap on a word and read the glossary entry to find out what they are looking at. It will also include "My Notes" which will let you easily create study cards from a section of the textbook.
The first textbooks made available will be biology and high school science titles from Pearson, McGraw Hill and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. These publishers make up 90 percent of the textbook market. DK Publishing will also launch with several interactive titles for children. Pricing is amazingly competitive with high school textbooks costing $14.99 or less.
The new iBooks 2
should be available for free from the iOS App Store starting later today is now available in the App Store. You can see a sample of what these textbooks will look like via E.O. Wilson's Life On Earth.

As reported in the February State of Spam report, we have observed spammers disguising themselves as the IRS and dangling an offer of a tax refund to unwitting recipients. That is, a refund made available once you input your credit card information into their site. A site that does not bear the IRS URL. A site that is fraudulent and nothing more than a collection tool for credit card and other personal information. And while we are still seeing this, we have recently observed a few new types of spam in relation to tax season. This spam being of a more sinister type as it directs you to download a virus.
In one example, the spammer indicates that a new law requires you to download tax software. Well, that in itself is ridiculous because taxes are traditionally done on paper and there is no existing law stating that you need a computer for your taxes in the first place. If that wasn't a red flag, the site that you actually download the "software" from is not a government site. Instead, it is merely an IP address.
In the body of the message, the URL does appear to be a legitimate government site being "irs.gov/softwareupdate." However, when you click it, you are redirected to the IP address hosting the virus. Upon going to the official IRS site (irs.gov) and manually typing in irs.gov/softwareupdate, the "The requested page does not exist. Please check your URL." error message is displayed.
Upon a glance, this message does appear to be legit, at least on the surface, carrying legititmate-looking "From" and "Subject" lines, as well as the legit-looking link referencing the IRS:
From: "IRS"
Subject: IRS Notice @.net
Dear Tax Payer,
As part of new requirements from the IRS, all U.S. Citizens are required by law to update their computers with new tax software.
To begin the update, please visit irs.gov/softwareupdate and click "Open" when asked to begin the download.
After doing so, no further action is required on your part.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Another example is utilizing the ever popular tax software, TurboTax. Here the spammer is also advising the recipient to download software updates to comply with new IRS requirements. The first red flag would be the "From" line. This from line does not look like it originates from the business. You must ask yourself: "Why would a legitimate company use firstname.lastname@example.com?" and "Why is TurboTax sending me something from the .cn domain?"
The second red flag would be the URL that the "turbotax.com/update" takes you to. It does not take you to the TurboTax official Web site. Instead, you are delivered to an alphanumerically randomized URL consisting of a blank page with a pop up that asks you to download some mysteriously named file. Where are the credentials? Upon investigating at the real TurboTax site, http://turbotax.intuit.com/, and searching for "turbotax.com/update," an error message "We cannot find the page you requested" is rendered.
From: "TurboTax Support"
Subject: New TurboTax Update
Dear TurboTax User,
Due to changes in IRS requirements, we are requiring all TurboTax users to update their software to the current version.
The process takes less then 30 seconds, and is done completely in the background.
To begin the update, please visit turbotax.com/update and click "Open" when asked to begin the download.
After doing so, no further action is required on your part.
Thank you for your cooperation regarding this matter.
TurboTax Customer Support
Be alert during tax season for those preying on you for sinister purposes such as stealing of personal information and spreading viruses. In the above samples, a few simple research steps and analysis of the headers and body made it clear these were not legit. Above all, do not download anything on your computer unless you are sure that it is what it says it is and comes from someone you know and trust or a reputable company. Remember, if you don't know whether it's legit, it's better to be safe than sorry. You can always call the company's support line from a phone number retrieved on their official site with details of the message and ask them if it truly came from them.

Visa Bulletin - page 12
this is GREAT NEWS!!!!!! category rest of world china india mexico the philippines 3rd 01JUN05 01JUN03 01JUN03 01JUN03 01JUN05 ... Read More
- 1Jul 20, '07 by suzanne4Quote from fruityThanks Suzanne. I am stuck due to NVC asked updated ds230. They just recieved it July 18. Pretty sure that I won't get an interview but I'm hoping to get one when the new visas are out (oct).
If they just received it two days ago, chances are extremely slim for now. There are those that are getting their scheduled interviews even cancelled right now. Especially since things just changed greatly when USCIS was forced to accept new I-485s right now.
- 0Jul 28, '07 by magandanghaponHere's an Update on July Visa Bulletin No. 107 :
The link: (the article is too lengthy to copy and paste)
Regards to all.
- 0Jul 28, '07 by suzanne4There are already links to that that were posted back on the day that it came out. Just reinforced what I had been saying all along.
Visa Bulletins are only good for the calendar month that they are issued for, so had fully expected that they would not accept the I-485 after July 31 if the I-140 had not already been submitted.
The only ones that this is truly causing issue for are the ones that flew over and expected to be able to jump ahead of everyone else because they are so special. And guess what? The got burnt. No petition can be submitted for them. And immigration got forced to accept these petitions when there were no visas left, so expect it to be much harder to get approval on them, especially when someone came over on a tourist visa. They are going to have the burden of proof on them that they did not have dual intent. And that is going to be very hard for most to do. And even more so if they were not in the US for a full three months before having anything submitted.
Sorry to be so mean about this, but I do not like it when someone takes cuts in front of my in line at a checkout register, nor when they jump ahead to get a parking slot that I had been waiting for.
Those that are trying to do it should not be applauded, but far from it, and it should not be considered an acceptable practice. What happened last year was a completely different environment, things have changed drastically in the past year. And any that are trying to violate US immigration law in the first place to not need to be applauded, but held in contempt for not caring about US law in the first place.
- 0Aug 1, '07 by suzanne4Highly doubt it, do not expect any visas to become available until October as it was previously reported. However, that does not mean that nurses will see the Schedule A at that time, and also I highly suspect that there will be a retrogression in place at least for some countries. There is no way that they are going to open things fully, and they also were just forced to accept I-485s when there are no visas.
Do not expect anything for at least a few months, and then even then expect a retrogression in place for quite a few.
- 0Aug 2, '07 by mpoovaQuote from fruitythere is the remote posibility for that If at all some service centers/consulates could not use a small amount in the month of July can be used in the month of september. but there will be a PD for it.Hi! I know I may sound silly or desperate but I just want to ask if can we expect something from the Septer 2007 VB? Is there any possiblity that there will be visas returned from some service centers?
Like Schedule A gone and came after one month during last retrogression...
let us hope for the best!:spin:

Re: Danish Delight - Caroline Wozniacki thread - vol 6
She lost to Voegele, now 67 16 to CSN.
A lot of this is her desire to win. She used to win the most matches on the tour. The fight to win is not what it used to be. She had it at IW, but since then, no fight.
I think a lot of these losses, being aggressive just gives her an excuse to say "I'm working on something" while she loses and loses.
I go back to her team and her dad. They screwed up a good player, and now she doesnt care enough anymore
The most wasted of all days is one without laughter....
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there
Enjoy This Moment!!
HEALTH and HAPPINESS to EVERYONE

Chloe Grace Moretz Confronts Her Own Mortality
By Juan Barquin
In All the Pretty Horses, set in the mid-Forties, Texas youth John Grady Cole (Matt Damon) goes to Mexico, too. Cole, who's been raised by Mexican help on a ranch and speaks fluent Spanish, talks his friend Rawlins (Henry Thomas) into riding south of the border with him to find work on a Mexican ranch. Neither of them says it (if memory serves, the movies are never mentioned in the film), but what they're searching for is a cowboy life that looks more like the way it does in the movies.
As it looks in this movie, for instance, and that's part of what's wrong with All the Pretty Horses. It's based on the much-admired 1992 novel by Cormac McCarthy, a Faulkner/Larry McMurtry hybrid who has built a reputation reinventing the literary Western with blood-soaked myth-dashing honesty. McCarthy's prose, with its long, careening, conjunction-riddled descriptive sentences alternating with terse dialogue, can be exhausting to read but also rewarding.
For the film version, director Billy Bob Thornton hasn't tried to find a cinematic equivalent of the fierce modernism of McCarthy's style. He's busy making mythic Western images in the manner of John Ford or George Stevens and, with the help of cinematographer Barry Markowitz, doing a nice job of it. But he falls into the same artistic trap that Cole and Rawlins fall into, literally. He can't resist turning the New West into the Old West. Under the opening titles, we see herds of pretty horses rumbling past the camera, and before long the soaring music starts.
Thornton would presumably argue that he's showing us the West that Cole sees in his mind's eye. But we don't need to see that; we've already been to the movies. The story is about Cole's disillusionment, but visually the film seems to support his romantic notions.
Still, if All the Pretty Horses is too much a traditional Western, it does at least look for a while as if it's going to be a good traditional Western. Just before Cole and Rawlins cross the Rio Grande, they meet one more fugitive from adolescence and America and the Twentieth Century: Blevins (the excellent Lucas Black of Sling Blade, Thornton's first directorial effort), a teenage runaway on an apparently stolen horse. Once in Mexico Blevins loses his mount and his gun, and his newfound friends try to help him recover them. Their plans go awry, Blevins disappears, and Cole and Rawlins get their ranch jobs.
The rancher (Ruben Blades) -- surprise! -- turns out to have a beautiful daughter. And the minute she comes riding tempestuously onscreen, in the person of Almodovar beauty Penelope Cruz, the movie falls apart. This isn't because there's anything particularly wrong with Cruz's acting. But the deep, profound, and passionate love that arises rather abruptly between her and Cole, and which is supposed to be the cause of all the suffering that follows, just isn't convincing. Damon and Cruz have no chemistry between them. Although he seems a little too old for the role, Damon has a touchingly unassuming, aw-shucks manner, and when he talks with Thomas or Black, or even with his love interest's hardass aunt (played by the always superb Miriam Colon), there's a sense of intimacy and connection. When he and Cruz look at each other, it couldn't have less meaning. A couple of times, Thornton tries to stir up some romance by whirling the camera around Damon's head as he watches Cruz sweep past, but to no avail.
But it likely wouldn't matter much even if the two of them steamed up the screen. Once the inevitable separation of the lovers has occurred, the movie scatters into a string of confusing episodes: an arrest, a killing, a term in a hellish Saltillo penitentiary, a return to the ranch, a reunion with the rancher's daughter, violent revenge. It all feels disorienting and truncated, as if the script, by Ted Tally, who also adapted Silence of the Lambs, was a harried summary of the book.
This effect probably is explained, at least in part, by reports that Thornton's original cut of the film ran well over three hours. There's no reason to assume that Thornton's cut would have been a classic, but it might at least have been coherent. A three-hour movie beats a two-hour highlight reel any day.

Building Industry Luncheon (BIL)
The 32nd Annual Building Industry Luncheon (BIL) raised $829,250 in support of United Way York Region's In Every Neighbourhood campaign – a three-year commitment to provide 325,000 helping hands for people in municipalities across our region.
The event also included a special tribute to Bill Fisch, Chairman and CEO of The Regional Municipality of York and long-standing Chair of the BIL committee, who was honoured with United Way York Region's Cornerstone Award.
United Way York Region is grateful to be supported by a thriving and philanthropic community of developers. Under the dynamic leadership of Chairs Jim V. De Gasperis, President and CEO, Condrain Group; Bill Fisch, Chairman and CEO, The Regional Municipality of York; and Marc A. Muzzo, President, Pemberton Group, the luncheon has grown steadily over the last three decades and consistently surpasses set targets. United Way's most successful one-day fundraising event, the luncheon is a tribute to the industry's civic mindedness and commitment to give back to York Region.
Last year's BIL raised $775,000 for United Way's community priorities: helping kids be all they can be; moving people from poverty to possibility; and building strong neighbourhoods.

Gear Up & Go!, a new initiative by the Snohomish Health Leadership Coalition aimed at combating childhood obesity, launched today at Stocker Farms. Gear Up & Go! aims to increase physical activity among the county's youth to improve academic performance and create lifelong healthy habits that extend into adulthood.
Nearly 7,000 fifth-graders and 900 faculty and staff in Snohomish County are partaking in the program which utilizes a new technology that converts activity into digital points that can be tracked and redeemed in friendly competitions.
Gary Cohn is chair of the Coalition's youth activity initiative and Superintendent of Everett Public Schools. He points out that, data from the Washington State Healthy Youth Survey clearly demonstrates that there is a steep drop in activity in children after the sixth grade. By targeting our efforts at fifth graders, believe we can foster life-long habits that promote wellbeing and go far in the fight against obesity."
The Coalition has secured many important partners to help students get moving, including:
· Sqord is an exciting hardware and software that makes healthy, active play more fun for kids by turning activity into rewards and friendly social competition.
· YMCA of Snohomish County is providing each participating student with a free school-year membership, as well as unique programming for Gear Up & Go! and passes for their families.
In addition to being able to join in all YMCA activities, participating students will receive their own Sqord PowerPod – a durable wristband that converts student's activity into points.
"Gear up & Go! is an innovative way to encourage Snohomish county's children to be healthy and active," said Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01), who was on hand at Stocker Farms to help launch the initiative. "I'm excited to see how the program's use of technology will spur greater engagement among the students as they track their progress and compare how they are doing with their fellow classmates from across the county – making it fun and social for the participating children."
The Coalition worked with school superintendents, teachers, health and education professionals to create the initiative. More than 200 students in six classrooms across three school districts participated in a pilot program in Spring 2013. The results were overwhelmingly positive. The average activity per user was almost 60,000 points (40,000 points is defined as a healthy day), 52 percent of students uploaded data at least every three days, and they were social online.
"Gear Up & Go! is an exciting opportunity for our students and demonstrates the innovative ideas that abound in our community ," said John Lovick, Snohomish County Executive. "A tremendous deal of praise goes to the teachers, students and Coalition partners who helped get Gear Up & Go! running. This initiative is coming alive thanks in large part to their enthusiasm and support. This is great news for the county."
The Coalition has also partnered with Snohomish Health District, which is working with the Initiative to help define and track a series of measurable objectives. Throughout the year, participating students will have the opportunity to participate in voluntary surveys to help gauge results.
"This program doesn't just reward the jocks of each classroom; it rewards all movement, be that taking a walk or washing the dishes. We're encouraging healthy habits and education, and we're doing it in a fun and engaging way," said Carol Andrews, vice president of the Everett Public School Board. "Studies show that increased activity among kids leads to stronger academic performance. The key is making it fun and challenging, and Gear Up & Go! does just that."
This initiative will result in the creation of the nation's first online real-time heat map of human activity. This information, in partnership with the Snohomish County Health District, will enable the Coalition to gain and rapidly share insights into what influences movement in order to create recommendations to sustain positive impacts in 2014 and beyond.
Additionally, the initiative is providing a variety of opportunities for participating teachers and faculty to come together to share their learnings. Collaboration vehicles include a LinkedIn page, monthly e-newsletter, and innovation salons that will occur in the Spring.
At the event at Stocker Farms, participating students, their parents and members of the community had the opportunity to try out the Sqord technology first-hand and try to earn points through a variety of activities including jump rope, hula hoops, and a dance party.

Third Quarter Hiccup
Morningstar's Christine Benz demonstrates how to make a bucket portfolio best work for you, touching on allocation, RMDs, other income sources, and more.
To the extent that the Fed has been the helping hand of the bond market, when that helping hand is removed, conditions are likely to change considerably, says Met West CIO and manager Tad Rivelle.
The Fed has played a key role in nudging the recovery along, but the taper of bond purchases won't torpedo the economy, says Morningstar's Bob Johnson.
Senior fund analyst Eric Jacobson walks us through how some of Morningstar's top-rated intermediate-term bond funds fared during the early summer sell-off.
Negative second-quarter GDP growth is not out of the question, says Morningstar's Bob Johnson, but the third and fourth quarters should rebound.
CEF managers' ability to hold onto underpriced illiquid securities in times of market stress represents an advantage over open - end funds that may have to sell to meet unexpected redemptions, says Morningstar's Cara Esser.
Five stats from the market and the stories behind them. This week: the Fed's word on flexibility, Microsoft's new look, and two e-bookends.
Five stats from the market and the stories behind them. This week: GDP still trudging along, taper interpretations, and a potash pricing plot.

Weaponsmith: I.. uh.. estimate a 25% increase in attack accuracy, with a corresponding enhancement to damage.Initially, it looks like a standard Role-Playing Game Verse — but then the characters explicitly start referring to spot checks, hit points in Stat-O-Vision, roleplaying, Always Chaotic Evil monsters, and other Role-Playing Game Terms. Is this an RPG in which the characters' players are weaving in and out of character and this is represented by the characters themselves speaking, or perhaps a video game which breaks the Fourth Wall more often than usual? Nope - or at least it is not shown. The Verse this takes place in really does work exactly like a tabletop RPG. Because of the Fourth Wall-breaking implications, this usually happens only in comedies. Frequently takes place in a Purely Aesthetic Era, especially for Fantasy games.

Global patent agreement reached by Samsung and Google
For those who were afraid that Samsung was gradually breaking away from Google and its open source Android OS, both parties said that the pact "would lead to deeper collaboration on research and development of current and future projects." In a statement surely intended for Apple's ears, Samsung's top patent executive, Seungho Ahn, said that the agreement shows that it is better to cooperate than to engage in patent disputes. Samsung and Apple are expected to kick off their next patent trial in March although both sides are said to be discussing a settlement.
Financial terms of the deal between Samsung and Google were not released.
"(The deal shows) the rest of the industry that there is more to gain from cooperating than engaging in unnecessary patent disputes."-Seungho Ahn, Head of Intellectual Property, Samsung

I'm sure cross licensing deals can be worked out for anyone.
The things is....is it something both parties can agree on. If not...
2. g2a5b0e (Posts: 2717; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
Perhaps this will silence all those folks who seem to think Samsung plans on breaking away from Android with Tizen. The fact that they're experimenting with other things doesn't mean they'd just leave their cash cow. Doesn't make any business sense whatsoever.
4. Ant34 (Posts: 193; Member since: 10 Aug 2013)
They won't be moving from Android anytime soon but I do expect them to start releasing Tizen phones along side their Android line up.
6. nokia12 (Posts: 351; Member since: 19 Nov 2013)
that's what they want you or world to believe..they won't make the same mistake as Nokia did with "BURNING PLATFORM" .. instead they will grow it slowly and steadily... and it is right as well what if google becomes like apple tomorrow imposing more limitations and fees nobody will like that .. tizen will at least keep google from doing that ... No one likes monopoly neither consumers nor manufacturers that is the reason
Samsung,intel,nokia,ebay,panasonic,sharp,kodak,adobe,mcafee, and more than other 30 companies have become partners in the project..
they are already earning way too much cash now from android, but the decline will come maybe not now maybe after 3 or 5 or 7 years .. a company has to be prepared
they all will try to make Tizen the second Platform of choice (excluding iOS )
announcing abandonment of google now can only be done by 1 man
"Eflop" lol..

Samsung is the type of company that covers ALL the bases. The cover every price range, from low end models to flagship models. The cover just about every size, and now they will cover different OSes (they already do Android, Tizen, and Windows Phone). I don't know why people thought they would break away from Android with Tizen since they were already making Windows Phone as well.
3. tedkord (Posts: 5267; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Nobody was afraid Samsung was breaking away from Samsung. Just some fanboys were desperately hoping they would.
8. PapaSmurf (Posts: 8922; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Samsung makes billions alone off Android. Don't plan on them ditching their cash crop anytime soon.

Didn't HTC and apple settle for 10 years agreement? Cant Sam and apple do the same
7. VZWuser76 (Posts: 1894; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)
The reason Apple was willing to settle with them is that HTC currently isn't a threat to them. Right now Samsung is the only android OEM that by themselves is a threat to Apple. Apple would only be comfortable if they had a majority of mobile sales, leaving the scraps for the rest. That would be the only time you'll see an end to these lawsuits. If WP ever gained some significant traction and ends up as the number 2 competitor, I guarantee Apple will go after them as they have with Android OEMS. Right now it's in both their best interests to work together and go after the new guy. But if they were to succeed, all bets would be off.
17. tedkord (Posts: 5267; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
The reason Apple settled with HTC (besides what you said) was access to their LTE patents. Samsung has a number of LTE patents which are not FRAND, and Apple was worried.
That's why Samsung needs to buy HTC. That will invalidate Apples agreement with HTC, and they will have leverage to end the patent wars and force a settlement.
18. Augustine (Posts: 800; Member since: 28 Sep 2013)
I'd count on the agreement with HTC to include a clause that it'd remain in force in case either company is acquired.
9. REXTECH (Posts: 15; Member since: 04 Dec 2013)
Does it mean that app developers will start making Linux based apps?
13. Wiki_jaan (Posts: 703; Member since: 24 Jun 2012)
10 more years of galaxies ............ lol
14. Augustine (Posts: 800; Member since: 28 Sep 2013)
It's very similar to the agreement between AMD and Intel, which sued each other interminably in the 90s. Once they agreed on terms that only very few people in the respective companies know, they just arm-wrestle each other in private every decade or so to renew it.

Thanks to impressive stoppage wins this past weekend, the latest edition of the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA rankings has a pair of new entrants. Filed under: Bellator, MMA Rankings, News, UFC, WSOF read news >>
The women's strawweight division makes its debut in the penultimate UFC rankings update for 2014. The biggest development in the UFC rankings over the weekend was the inclusion of the women's strawweight division. Carla Esparza was crowned the inaugural divisional champion, while the rest of the TUF 20 Finale was a showcase for the season's cast members. On the men's side, Rafael dos Anjos cemented himself as joint top contender along with Khabib Nurmagomedov following his beatdown of Nate Diaz. read news >>
With The Ultimate Fighter 20 coming to an end, a new UFC champion was crowned on Friday. Recording a submission win over Rose Namajunas at the show's finale, Carla Esparza became the first strawweight champion in UFC history. She'll now lead the division as it finds its place among the nine other weight classes in the world's top MMA organization. Now that the 115-pound division has its queen, Top 15 rankings have been released. Obviously, as titleholder, Esparza sits at the top, but how do the read news >>
The top of the lightweight division is getting pretty tight. The official Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) rankings have been updated following The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 20 Finale and UFC on FOX 13, which went down this past weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Phoenix, Arizona, respectively. Get full results here and here. After putting on a clinic during his co-main event fight opposite Nate Diaz at UFC on FOX 13 (video replay), Rafael dos Anjos shot up the rankings to claim the No. 1 spot i read news >>
Does former UFC welterweight champion Johny Hendricks deserve an immediate trilogy fight against the man who lifted his title by the slimmest of margins at UFC 181, Robbie Lawler? Or should the UFC move forward with its original plan to give Rory MacDonald the next title shot? Those are the questions upon which the entire welterweight division will hinge in 2015 (Okay, and also whether former champion Georges St-Pierre returns). Proponents of an immediate Hendricks rematch note that after 10 rou read news >>
It's crowded at the top. Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has quite the log-jam atop its Welterweight division heading into 2015. That's because Robbie Lawler is the new 170-pound champion, taking a close decision over Johny Hendricks in their rematch at UFC 181 earlier this month (watch video highlights here). The result left company president Dana White in a quandary because he all but guaranteed the next title shot to Rory MacDonald (read more on that here) after he knocked out Tarec Saff read news >>
It's been a long and winding road for Robbie Lawler, but he reached the top of the welterweight division with a narrow decision victory over Johny Hendricks at UFC 181 on Saturday. Lawler wasn't dominant, but he did more damage and defended 12 takedown attempts. Hendricks fell short on two scorecards, but his five takedowns resulted in most MMA media members believing he should have retained the 170-pound championship, according to MMADecisions.com. While the decision could have gone either way, read news >>
Dana White claimed before UFC 181 that Anthony Pettis was among the best pound-for-pound fighters in the sport. While that's a frequent strategy for the UFC boss, it turns out he was right.Filed under: Bellator, MMA Rankings, News, UFC, WSOF read news >>
Robbie Lawler is the UFC welterweight champion and he's one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the sport today. Let that sink in. The biggest news from UFC 181 (aside from the CM Punk signing) was the shocking reality that Robbie Lawler will enter 2015 as the undisputed welterweight champion. Lawler wasn't even a welterweight from 2005-2012, and has been an absolute force since his UFC return in 2013. The rankings panel has placed Lawler 11th in the pound-for-pound rankings, right above Joh read news >>
Robbie Lawler takes the championship spot at 170 pounds and moves into the pound-4-pound lost at No. 11 in the latest rankings release. read news >>
Unfortunately for "Red King," he is still one spot behind Hendricks in the eyes of the voters, despite the fact that "Bigg Rigg" coughed up the welterweight title to Robbie Lawler. The official Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) rankings have been updated following UFC 181, which went down this past weekend (Sat., Dec. 6, 2014) in Las Vegas, Nevada. Get full results here.

One of the most controversial aspects of the UFC's recently announced deal with Reebok is the way fighters will be compensated for adhering to the new outfitting policy. read news >>
The Chair does not recognize Rashad Evans. The former light heavyweight champion is "taking up a spot" in the official Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) rankings, which means there is a 205-pound fighter hovering just outside the top 15 who could be eligible for a cut of the new Reebok profits, if "Suga" wasn't loitering in the No. 4 hole. UFC President Dana White explains (via The Download): "If you're the champion, you get paid the most. If you're ranked one through five; and next tier, six read news >>
