News Release
Researcher from The Cancer Institute of New Jersey and Princeton University to Receive Prestigious Award at International Cancer Conference
New Brunswick, N.J. – A researcher from The Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ) and Princeton University who is helping to advance the molecular understanding of cancer metastasis will be recognized for his work by cancer specialists from around the globe. Yibin Kang, PhD, a member of the Genomic Instability and Tumor Progression Program at CINJ and an associate professor of molecular biology at Princeton University, will receive the Award for Outstanding Achievement in Cancer Research at the Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) being held in Chicago later this month. Princeton University is recognized by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) as a consortium partner of CINJ. CINJ is a Center of Excellence of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.
The Annual AACR-Award for Outstanding Achievement in Cancer Research was established in 1981 to recognize an investigator aged 40 or younger on the basis of meritorious achievement in cancer research. Dr. Kang was selected by a prestigious international committee of renowned cancer leaders for his "outstanding work related to the intricate interactions between tumor cells and stromal components during the metastasis of breast cancer to bone and other organs." Kang's laboratory has been leading an effort to decipher the complex network of genes that facilitate the escape of cancer cells from primary tumors such as breast, as well as their survival in blood circulation and eventual colonization of vital organs.
Kang has extensive expertise in using the mouse as a model system to identify the molecular mechanism of cancer progression and to develop new therapeutic agents. Since 2010, he has served as a co-director of the Transgenic/Knockout Mouse Shared Resource. This Shared Resource, supported by a National Institutes of Health (NIH)-NCI P30CA072720 Cancer Center Support Grant, provides a centralized expert facility for the generation of genetically engineered animals. The steadily expanding use of genetically engineered mouse models in cancer research has resulted in an explosion of information on the in vivo functions of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. This Shared Resource allows research members at UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and Princeton University to affordably further their animal model-dependent research.
"It is a privilege to receive this award from the AACR and an honor to be recognized by leaders in the field," noted Kang. "Through continued collaboration with my distinguished colleagues, I am hopeful that we will be able to further elucidate the inner workings of cancer metastasis and apply that knowledge toward the development of targeted therapies." At the conference, Kang will deliver an award lecture entitled: "Decoding Tumor-Stromal Interactions in Breast Cancer Metastasis."
Kang's research is supported by grants from the NIH, U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), American Cancer Society, New Jersey Commission on Cancer Research, Komen for the Cure, Breast Cancer Alliance, Brewster Foundation and Champalimaud Foundation. He also has been the recipient of other major awards including: the DOD Era of Hope Scholar Award (2005); the American Cancer Society Research Scholar Award (2006); and the 2011 Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in Biomedical Sciences, a prestigious award for young immigrant scientists who have made significant contributions to American science and society during the early stage of their career.

I recently had to have the flywheel and starter replaced. Does it require the oil pan to be removed to do that? Reason being is I then had a leak about a month later and the service center said my gasket was bad and charged more $. If they removed it previously, my feeling is they didn't tighten properly. What do you think?

USS HARRY S. TRUMAN, At Sea (NNS) -- All new Sailors who arrive aboard USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) are required to learn the basics of damage control, to learn how to respond to damage and casualties such as fires and ruptured pipes.
To teach this essential knowledge, the Damage Control division runs the Damage Control University (DCU) as part of the Sailors Indoctrination week. DCU classes consist of four days of hands-on training and a written test at the end of the course.
"The class gives Sailors an early start on what else is to come on the Truman," said Damage Controlman 1st Class (SW) Leethaniel Edwards, a DCU class instructor.
Edwards said his classes usually consist of 30 students per week, and an underway period with combined classes can have as many as 90 students each week.
"The classes teach students the basics of damage control, so if something would happen they would know how to help the crew in the situation," said Edwards.
During the class, students are given a tour of the ship and are shown the locations of all the repair lockers. They learn basic firefighting, the firefighter's ensembles, how to control flooding, and how to use protective gear such as an Emergency Escape Breathing Device.
"The class allows us to teach the students with a more hands-on approach," said Edwards. "So when the students actually go through General Quarters (GQ), they can get more in depth with the situation."
GQ evolutions, a vital component of Truman's training agenda, helps prepare Sailors for any situation that arises while out at sea.
"The class is important for new Sailors because it teaches us how to be prepared for GQ situations, the information that we are taught could save our lives," said Aviation Ordnaceman Airman Recruit Martina M. Lunsford.
Once students complete the basic DC class, they have the opportunity to take advanced DC classes, said Edwards. DCU gives each Sailor a chance to really learn damage control, and it's very important that Sailors take advantage of this opportunity to learn from the DC division, said Edwards.
"I think our success in DC and GQ is a direct reflection from the DC division actually putting forth the effort and training the crew," said Edwards.

The 7 Hottest Topics on Techvibes Last Month
October was a great month for Techvibes—while the season may be Fall, our traffic's on the rise. We thank our growing community of loyal readers for their support and promise to keep delivering the great content you've come to love.
Last month, there were many hot topics on hand, such as the controversy surrounding Rogers and Facebook billionaire Mark Zuckerberg visiting Vancouver. Here are the 7 hottest topics and the articles covering them.
1. Mark Zuckerberg in Vancouver.
It started when news surfaced that Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg was in Vancouver. With no known reason behind the visit, curiosity was peaked. Rumours flew—the most interesting of which was that the billionaire came to town to discuss acquiring HootSuite, Invoke Media's popular social media dashboard. So far, all we know he acquired was a Japadog.
There were numerous other potential reasons, but ultimately Zuck's visit remains a mystery.
2. Rogers is the world's worst internet throttler. Officially. And the CRTC knows it.
Consumers were angry—and that's putting it lightly—to discover that Toronto-based telco Rogers is officially the world's worst internet throttler. With folks fuming at the numbers revealed by research, the article garnered many comments, most with harsh words for the internet provider. Shortly after, the CRTC announced progress on its case against Rogers, adding fuel to the firestorm.
3. Canada's top 100 Startups.
Every month, Techvibes features Canada's top 100 startups (based on traffic according to data from Alexa). We also break down top startups by cities. Readers and startup founders enjoy seeing who's up and down month-to-month.
4. Can BlackBerry make a comeback?
New to Techvibes, young writer Rolando Fuentes penned a piece titled "Why BlackBerry Will Make a Comeback." Many readers rallied in support of the Waterloo tech firm, hoping it can indeed recover—but just as many insisted the company cannot reverse its downward spiral. The debate sparked plenty of interest.
5. Is B.C. premier Christy Clark a slut?
Well, no, actually. NDP MLA David Schreck is just an idiot. In a political story that, for once, wasn't about political leanings, a Twitter fight raged over whether or not Christy's attire was revealing (read: it wasn't). Even Adrian Dix threw David under the bus on this one as readers laughed at the situation. Thanks Twitter!
6. Silicon Valley's highest paying companies.
We all know the Silicon Valley giants compensate their top brass well. But people were interested to learn that newcomer Twitter—whose business model is just starting to generate revenue, let alone consistent profit growth—was the highest-paying of all.
7. The iPhone 5. 'Nuff said.
In my provocative piece, "It Looks Like Apple is Launching the iPhone 5 After All," I talked about the warped perceptions of consumers and the lack of definition surrounding "major" versus "minor" product updates. Everyone based their opinions on the new device's name, not its improvements—when in fact the smartphone was undoubtedly a significant upgrade. Some agreed, others didn't.

After returning from France and Spain, my head was spinning with so many recipe ideas. I decided to start with this one. This salad was so good. I think I said it out loud at least 5 times while I was eating it. It is tart, tangy, sweet, crunchy, and creamy. There was an explosion of flavor in my mouth with each bite.
I made the candied walnuts using this Taste of Home recipe. I substituted walnuts for pecans and used 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
They are tasty. If you do not have time to make them, you could just buy some candied nuts or use regular, salted nuts. They are not the star of the salad. They do make it better, but the real star is the goat cheese fill triangles. They are flakey, crunchy, creamy, and tangy with a hint of sweetness.
I used a honey mustard salad dressing. The recipe is below. I like it to be really tangy (i.e. more vinegar). I used champagne vinegar, you could substitute regular vinegar.
To make them, you need one roll of filo dough out of a box of two rolls. Defrost it in the refrigerator over night. They must be kept moist so when working with them, keep them under a damp towel.
Cut the sheets in half.
Take one half and spray with olive oil or brush with butter. Add one to two more layers, following the same process. Put a small piece (about 1 tablespoon) of goat cheese in one corner of the sheet.
Fold over the filo, lengthwise, to cover the cheese.
Then, begin fold the cheese over to form a triangle. (Like a paper football or flag)
Continue folding until you reach the end. To seal, spray with olive oil or brush with butter.
Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and drizzle with honey.
These are such a delicious accent to a salad. I have been disinterested in homemade salads lately. I much prefer the ones that I make at Whole Foods salad bar however, this was way better than those. Don't skip the filo triangles, they make the salad. They are pretty easy but look fancy.
Goat Cheese Filo Triangles
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20-25 minutes
Keywords: bake appetizer salad snack filo goat cheese summer
Ingredients (14-18)
- 1/2 package filo dough, defrosted

Heat the oven to 350.
Cut filo sheets in half length-wise. When not working with them, keep them covered with a damp cloth.
Take one filo sheet and spray it with oil or brush it with butter. Layer two more sheets, adding oil or butter to each sheet.
Put a small piece (about 1 tablespoon) of goat cheese in one corner. Fold the sheets over, lengthwise. Begin folding the end with the goat cheese to form a triangle (like a flag or paper football). Continue folding until you reach the end. To seal, add oil or butter.
Place on a greased cookie sheet. Continue until you have used all of the filo.
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and drizzle with honey. Serve hot or cold. Store in the refrigerator. Serve on a salad with fresh fruit or as an appetizer.
Honey Mustard Dressing
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Keywords: salad honey summer
Ingredients (2-4 servings)
- 2 teaspoons of honey
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard (I like whole grain)
- 1-2 tablespoons of vinegar

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
Hi and thank you for your question. In the future, you can request me to answer any further questions.
Sorry they are not helping yo!
You have a few options.
Send a copy of the written agreement to the credit bureau and dispute how they are reporting. It should read something like "Paying as agreed".
Read the terms of the deal, they may send statements with accruing interest etc, but that might be cleared once you complete the settlement. If you default, then the figures that are accruing would be the balance due.
You could sue them if you feel that they are violating the terms of the settlement contract.
Your final option is to file bankruptcy.
if you sue, you need to show how they breached the contract, and then show what your damages are. Then the court would decide if they did indeed breach the contract, and award damages.
This is feasible, but sounds time consuming and expensive for the court fees and the lawyer too
You may also want to consider going in to a local BofA branch to discuss.
If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks for your question, good luck.
The agreement was made directly with the Bank Of America and not through a 3rd party. The agreement letter states the debt would be settled in full and the account closed on the day of the last payment. It was not closed and the balance remained as if there was no agreement,
Yes, then you should consider the 3 options I provided.
do you have any questions about the options?
The account has been charged off now and with a collection agency, The Bank will not talk to me now.
Then your options are to sue or file bankruptcy if you can't get anywhere with them
I guess I need to take the document to a lawyer?
good luck, sorry they are not holding up their end of the deal.
Final idea, send a copy of the agreement and proof of all payments to the collection agency. This is a long shot.
Maybe talk to a local attorney who can call and see if they can get anywhere as well.
good luck
Done that copies of relevant bank Statement and copy of letter, The collection agency replied with they would terminte their interest. The another collection agency got involved, they continue to send letters of intent etc. I have sent them copies of letter etc but get no response . I will go to an attorney.
Thanks for your advice at least i know my options, limited and bankrupcy is out of the question.
yeah, its a circle that I've seen before unfortunately. Hopefully a judge can help by issuing some punitive damages!

04/11/2013A Five-Syllable Solution to an Achy Knee Comes to Long IslandLong Islanders suffering from chronic achy knees that have not responded to ibuprofen, injections such as Synvisc®, arthroscopic surgery, bracing or physical therapy may be candidates for an innovative solution offered by orthopedic surgeons at South Nassau Communities Hospital.
The solution, Subchondroplasty® (sub-con-dr?-plas-tee, and also referred to as SCP), is a minimally invasive surgery that allows orthopedic surgeons Bradley Gerber, MD, chief of joint replacement surgery; Craig Levitz, MD, chair of orthopedic surgery, and James Germano, MD, to access and treat bone defects associated with chronic bone marrow lesions (BMLs).
South Nassau's Center for Advanced Orthopedics was the first on Long Island to offer and perform SCP. Dr. Gerber is a pioneer of SCP in the U.S. and is involved in research and training surgeons nationwide on the procedure. Subchondroplasty comes from "sub," meaning "below" and the Greek word "chondros," meaning "cartilage."
Defined by radiologists as "bone marrow edema," a BML is swelling in the soft bone just underneath the joint's surface, producing chronic pain and reduced mobility. BML, most easily detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is identified by inflammation surrounding a microscopic insufficiency fracture within the subchondral bone.
BMLs will not heal without treatment, and ultimately lead to severe osteoarthritis and the need for total knee replacements. More than 600,000 total knee replacements were performed in 2011. "Subchondroplasty is a much simpler and less expensive corrective and preventive surgery that will delay or in some cases even eliminate the need for knee replacement surgery," said Dr. Gerber.
The procedure involves putting the patient under general anesthesia and then making a total of three incisions in the knee. Imaging and a special device help pinpoint exactly where the damage is located. A needle is then inserted and a small amount of calcium phosphate (also referred to as a biomimetic bone substitute material, BSM) is injected into the damaged area.
Depending on the number of BMLs, the operation takes an average of 30 to 45 minutes. The BSM takes about 30 minutes to dry and harden. If not combined with another procedure, most patients can walk out of the hospital under their own power after the surgery. Typical post-operative recovery time is six weeks (as compared to four to six months for a knee replacement).
Drs. Gerber, Germano and Levitz are among the more than 200 other physicians in the US who specialize in subchondroplasty. To date, more than 1,200 procedures have been performed in the US.
Subchondroplasty is the most recent advancement in orthopedic surgery that South Nassau's Center for Advanced Orthopedics has introduced to Long Island. The center is in the vanguard of using orthopedic innovations and orthobiologics to repair and prevent the wear and tear caused by severe or chronic cartilage, tendon and ligament injuries that can lead to joint replacement surgery.
The center was the first on Long Island to offer Carticel® Therapy and to perform meniscal cartilage transplantations. Carticel Therapy is a minimally-invasive surgical approach that uses cloned cartilage cells to correct recurring knee cartilage injuries. The meniscal cartilage transplantation is a revolutionary, minimally invasive surgical technique that hinders degeneration of the knee joint and eliminates the constant pain caused by the damaged cartilage.
It was also among the first in the US to offer the a biologic patch that harnesses the healing power of the human body to repair painful, debilitating shoulder rotator cuff tears. Commonly referred to as the biologic rotator cuff implant, the patch relies on the body's natural biological agents to jumpstart healing, even as surgery is in progress. The patch is proving to be highly effective for patients with severely degraded rotator cuffs and is resulting in less pain and faster recovery after the surgery.
Hip Arthroscopy and PRP are two more examples of minimally invasive surgical techniques and technologies that the Center offers to repair common and serious musculoskeletal injuries. Hip arthroscopy is a minimally-invasive procedure that is also used to repair torn tissue, treat some forms of arthritis and possibly prevent future arthritis.
PRP is an innovation from the expanding field of medicine known as orthobiologics, which is developing new techniques that combine the body's natural ability to heal itself and the use of stem cells and advanced medical technologies to repair and heal orthopedic injuries. PRP is blood plasma with a high concentration of platelets with significant bioactive proteins, which are vital to the repair and regeneration of musculoskeletal soft tissue.

So blowing the play dead...with no traffic anywhere near Thomas when he clearly didn't have possession of the puck...wasn't as terrible as the litany of calls that Bruins fans have been moaning about? Of course it was: had that happened to the Bruins, we'd have 143 threads screaming "OMG TEH MONTREAL REFS!!!!1!1!!!!!!!!!". And don't write TT a pass on that play: the puck didn't go in the net because he gave up on the play: he was mystified by the location of the puck and made a rare, rare misplay with it.
Look: my point wasn't that the game was well-called. It was terribly called--by far the poorest display of officiating in the 6 games. But it was terribly called both ways, and not every call was wrong. That's what some Bruins fans seem to be missing here when revising recent history. Case in point: Lucic's rant about how "marginal calls" led to Habs goals is flat out wrong. None of those 4 calls were marginal; in fact, every one was obvious (even though they over-reacted on Lucic's hit, he still deserved at least 2 mins, and as pointed out, would have been in the box when Gionta scored).
As for tonight, it's one game and I don't expect it to be as horribly officiated as tonight's game was. I also don't expect Boston to continue to be 0-fer on the power play. I think Boston will in all likliehood win the game, but I thought that in 2004, too....we'll see.

REGI did a similar dip to $6 & is $7.70 a few days later. This was essentially a shakeout aided by forced margin calls and their aftermath today.
Not sure about thta but I sense most people dont' get that this is non dilutive. Also not sure about margin calls. I think the probelm is the selling at $5.25. Again most people don't realize these insiders probably acquired these shares via options, etc for 10 cents a share
Nope. The offering spells out that these shares come from the merger with Gibbs years ago. Some are from another holder, but a smaller portion.
This could be nothing more than a 60 year old man looking to enjoy his golden years.
It is a blip at worst, at best it means more institutional ownership.
One thing for sure...the buyers of shares at $5.25 are not traders, they are investors. So, while the share float will increase...the selling pressure on the stock will not. There are no warrants to create a SHORT opportunity like with normal secondaries.
I take it you haven't read the news about the public offering at $5.25 a share.
I read the news , but the public offering is already spoken for, but has not been recorded in today's volume.

Winter beer fest season kicks off this month
This abnormally warm winter is about to get even warmer, as January marks the start of the winter beer fest season. Area beer lovers will have three sampling opportunities beginning January 21 with the St. Cloud Craft Beer Expo. The following Saturday, January 28, brings the Beer Dabbler Winter Carnival event in St. Paul. The season finishes on February 3 with Winterfest, arguably the best fest of the beer year.
St. Cloud Craft Beer Expo When: Saturday, January 21. 2-6 p.m. Where: St. Cloud Rivers Edge Convention Center, 10 Fourth Ave. S. in St. Cloud Cost: General admission tickets are $30. Designated driver tickets are $10. Tickets are available for purchase online. What: The price of admission gets you a commemorative tasting glass and access to unlimited beer samples from a lineup of local, national, and international breweries. Last year's fest brought over 40 breweries. The overwhelming success of that event will surely attract more this year. The list for 2012 has not yet been posted. Free education sessions will allow attendees to bone up on their beer knowledge. Food will be available for purchase from the Convention Center catering service.
Beer Dabbler Winter Carnival When: Saturday, January 28. 4-8 p.m. Doors open at 3:30. Where: St Paul Farmers Market, 290 Fifth St. E. in St. Paul Cost: $30 in advance. $40 at the door. Tickets are available at the Four Firkins, the Ale Jail, and Thomas Liquor. They are also available online. What: Minnesota's only dead-of-winter outdoor beer festival. Sample more than 200 brews from over 60 brewers. Musical entertainment will be provided by Pink Mink, Romantica, and Jonny James and the Hall of Fames. If you'd rather dance to the tunes that only you can hear, you can indulge in the Leinenkugel Silent Disco. If you want to eat (always a good idea at a beer fest), you can treat yourself to the wares of Fork in the Road, Simply Steve's, Gastro Truck, and Potter's Pasties. Those who make their own beer can enter the BJCP sanctioned home brew contest.
Winterfest When: Friday, February 3. 7-10 p.m. Where: Minnesota History Center, 345 Kellogg Blvd. W. in St. Paul Cost: General admission tickets are $55. The event is sold out, but the Guild usually has ticket give-away contests as the date approaches. What: Winterfest is the showcase event for the Minnesota Craft Brewers Guild. Only guild members are included at the event and everyone brings their best. There isn't much information available yet, but rest assured there will be beer, music, and food. Educational programs will take place throughout the event. If you can score tickets to this event, you should do it.

Also, I have tried to change the amount of running amavis processes to 2 from 10, but, believe it or not it will change itself back (in the conf) file to 10!
This uses too much memory, the VPS I run zimbra on has got 2GB RAM only, previous version, slightly tweaked 6.0.8 did not have any problems and generally used about 1GB of RAM.
Can anybody help me here please with the emails which are coming it like every minute (and multiples of them) plus how to reduce the amavis processes to 2 from 10 in Zimbra 7?
Many thanks.

Lynne Wang and two other plaintiffs, on behalf of a class of other news writers, filed a lawsuit against Chinese Daily News Inc., or CDN, alleging that they had worked more than eight hours per day and 40 hours per week without overtime compensation in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act and the California Labor Code. The plaintiffs also alleged that they were denied meal and rest breaks, among other violations of state law. Finally, the plaintiffs claimed that CDN's actions violated California's Business & Professions Code Section 17200, which allows for recovery for "any unlawful, unfair or fraudulent business act or practice."
The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California granted summary judgment in favor of the plaintiffs on the issue of whether they were exempt from overtime pay requirements. After a jury trial, the plaintiffs were awarded more than $2.5 million in damages for overtime and meal and rest period violations. The trial court also ordered CDN to pay additional damages, penalties and interest that brought the total to more than $5 million. CDN appealed, contending that the news writers were exempt from overtime pay requirements.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in San Francisco affirmed the trial court's judgment. With respect to the exempt status of the reporters, the court held that because CDN reporters typically wrote several stories each day, "the intense pace at which CDN's reporters work precludes them from engaging in sophisticated analysis" such that they did not satisfy the requirements of the "creative professional" exemption. It also found that CDN was liable for violating California's Business & Professions Code Section 17200. Wang v. Chinese Daily News Inc., 9th Cir. No. 08-56740 (Sept. 27, 2010).
Impact: Employers should carefully review overtime pay exemptions found in the federal and state overtime laws because incorrect classifications may result in substantial liability not only under those laws, but also under related state laws involving unlawful business acts or practices.

Foreign high-skilled workers aren't supposed to take jobs from Americans, but they sometimes do. When companies apply to bring in a foreign worker on an H-1B visa, they are required by the U.S. Labor Department to ensure the new arrivals will not adversely affect similarly employed U.S. workers.
But American workers claim in lawsuits that they have been supplanted by H-1B visa holders doing work for companies like Molina Healthcare in California and Harley-Davidson in Wisconsin.
Experts say the seemingly straightforward requirement to do no harm to U.S. workers is undermined by loopholes and weak enforcement.
Read Related: NR Narayana Murthy's Infosys faces heat over foreign workers taking American jobs
Here are five things to know about the H-1B visas and protection guidelines regarding American workers:
The law doesn't specifically say H-1B workers can't replace Americans, but it does include some protections, particularly when it comes to companies deemed ''H-1B dependent'' - those where 15 percent or more of their U.S. workers are H-1B visa holders. Those companies can't replace American workers until the H-1B employees have been on the job 90 days.
The H-1B dependent firms also must recruit Americans before bringing in foreign workers. However, these requirements are rarely enforced. And many people never learn why they were passed over for a position, or who got the job they applied for. What's more, most companies are not categorized as H-1B dependent and therefore do not have to follow the displacement and recruitment guidelines.
The guest workers are supposed to be paid the ''prevailing wage'' for whatever job they take, in whatever city they work. But the job descriptions listed on the H-1B petitions are vague enough to give employers wiggle room. The government also allows firms leeway in calculating prevailing wages. They can use government data or private industry surveys. U.S. Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a Democrat who represents Silicon Valley, found in 2011 that computer systems analysts working on H-1B visas in her district could be paid a ''prevailing wage'' of $52,000 a year - versus the local average computer analyst wage of $92,000.
Government oversight of the H-1B program is limited and fragmented between half a dozen agencies, making it difficult to enforce legal provisions meant to protect American workers. A Labor Department computer does an initial check as to whether employers have agreed to

CAIRO, Egypt — An Egyptian court on Saturday dissolved the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), the political wing of the Muslim Brotherhood, preventing its participation in the parliamentary elections.
The Muslim Brotherhood itself was banned in Egypt after the organization unleashed a violent campaign against the Egyptian authorities, killing over 500 Egyptian military and police since July 3, 2013.
Asset Manager Dina Khayat tells us the decision to ban the FJP Party was "Excellent. A long and overdue move. The Brotherhood claims to preach nonviolence, but its ties to Hamas in Gaza (and, by extension, its militant factions) undermine its avowals."
"Brotherhood students have torched university campuses, while the members' regular demonstrations are often violent and always disruptive of traffic and normal daily life. Until they are convinced they should operate within the context of a state and the rule of law, the Moslem Brotherhood cannot expect to be allowed to play any role in Egyptian politics," Khayat added.
"In the end, however, I don't think it makes a difference. Such is the outrage at and distaste for the Moslem Brotherhood and their almost childish – certainly destructive – attitude of 'rule or ruin' that they have now become pariahs within their own country. Whether their Freedom and Justice Party is allowed to continue or not, then becomes a moot point. No one will vote for them," she said.
The Muslim Brotherhood has been declared a terrorist group in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Russia. The UK is currently conducting an investigation into the Brotherhood and its ties to violence. Legislation was introduced in the U.S. Congress in July by Congresswoman Michele Bachmann to designate the Brotherhood a foreign terrorist organization (FTO). Hamas, the Palestinian Branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, was designated as an FTO under President Clinton in 1995.
One decision-maker in Cairo described the Muslim Brotherhood as the "Godfather of all terrorist organizations" including Al Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, ABM, and AQIM. "The leaders of Jihad and Islamic Group came from the Muslim Brotherhood. After the assassination of Sadat, they escaped to Afghanistan and Iran where they united with Osama bin Laden and formed Al Qaeda. The Muslim Brotherhood is the foundation for all terrorists groups all over the world."
He stated, "the Muslim Brotherhood was founded on a certain ideology that believes that the Brotherhood is the sole Muslim entity that leads the whole world to its own ideology."
The Freedom and Justice Party was founded following the January 25, 2011 Egyptian Revolution. Mohamed Morsi became the chairman of the party and was eventually elected president in the 2012 elections. Khairat el-Shater was the initial candidate of the Freedom and Justice Party but was disqualified from running by the election commission due to his criminal record. Prior to the 2012 elections, al-Shater had spent years in and out of prison; his latest imprisonment was for providing combat training and weapons to student protesters in the "Al-Azhar Militia" case.
The decision-maker added that "Al-Shater was training students at Al-Azhar in military tactics to turn on the Egyptian authorities – training them to conduct hostile actions against the Egyptian authorities, appointing field commanders and battalions. The Muslim Brotherhood has several links to terrorist organizations and are funding them, including Ajnad Misr (Soldiers of Egypt) and Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis."
Animosity towards America's policies is at a dangerous level here in Egypt; the message on the ground is that Obama supports the Muslim Brotherhood and therefore is supporting terrorism. "America's values are changing," said a local Egyptian.
"Throughout Muslim Brotherhood history, the problem for the Brotherhood has been with the government or political power, but now it is with the Egyptian people. They have killed Egyptians, police officers, army officers and soldiers; you can't say reconciliation anymore, it is impossible," a retired Egyptian military officer explained to us.
Speaking to Egyptians, they make it very clear they love the American people, but they are very angry at the administration's policies. "On one hand, the United States is asking us to secure and protect the border with Israel, while at the same time you are suspending economic and military support," said one.
With ISIS taking over Iraq, Hamas in Gaza, and the instability in Libya and Syria, the United States needs to develop a global strategy to counter the rise of global terrorism. This last month, President Sisi called on the "international community to act on Libya" and "begin working on a global anti-terrorism strategy in the region." The Obama administration would do well to stop supporting Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood and get behind President Sisi in developing an international strategy to combat terrorism. A first step in countering the rise of terrorism should be designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization, for the Brotherhood has clearly stated that its goal is the destruction of America.

The Cho Show Premieres On VH1
August 20, 2008 09:24 PM by Joe Reality
In 1994, Margaret Cho became a household name when she starred in the sitcom "All American Girl." However, she became just as well known for her struggles with the network over the show as the show itself.
Now, Margaret Cho is returning to television with a new reality series called The Cho Show. The Cho Show follows Margaret Cho and her eccentric entourage. Cho's entourage includes assistant Selene Luna and her "Glam Squad:" John Stapleton (make-up,) John Blaine (hair stylist,) and Charlie Altuna (wardrobe).
The series captures the imaginative and comical situations that make up Cho's real life. Some of the moments featured on the show include Margaret Cho's interaction with her somewhat traditional Korean parents and her more outrageous experiences with her cast of friends.
The Cho Show premieres on Thursday, August 21 at 11 PM ET on VH1.

Commonly used terms
Marine and Coastal Area (MACA)
The marine and coastal area is the seabed and the 'wet' part of the beach that is covered by the ebb and flow of the tide. It does not include the dry part of the beach. It is equivalent to the 'foreshore and seabed' under the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004.
The marine and coastal area is the area between the line of mean high water springs and the outer limits of the territorial sea (12 nautical miles from shore). The marine and coastal area includes the air space and water space above the land, and the subsoil, bedrock and other matters below.
Common marine and coastal area (CMCA)
It is the marine and coastal area (see above), excluding existing private titles and certain conservation areas. It is the same area as the 'public foreshore and seabed' which was vested in the Crown under the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004.
Customary marine title (CMT)
Customary marine title is a different sort of title from fee simple title. It comes from a common law concept which recognises property rights of indigenous people that have continued since or before acquisition of Crown sovereignty to the present day.
Customary marine title is inalienable - the land cannot be sold. Customary marine title cannot be converted to freehold title. It recognises the relationship that has existed, and will continue to exist, between iwi, hapū and whānau and the common marine and coastal area.
Protected Customary Rights (PCR)
Protected customary rights provide recognition and protection of customary activities, uses and practices that are exercised in the common marine and coastal area (examples are collecting hangi stones, or launching waka).
Tikanga means Māori customary values and practices.
Kaitiakitanga means the exercise of guardianship by the tangata whenua of an area in accordance with tikanga Māori in relation to natural and physical resources; and includes the ethic of stewardship.
Rohe means the boundary or territory (either geographical or spiritual) of an iwi, hapū or whānau.
Mana tuku iho
Mana tuku iho means inherited right or authority derived in accordance with tikanga.

I love to have friends in, and when I'm upstate, I love walking through the woods with a dog and riding
an ATV, just tooling around in the woods. Turtle-like. I like to eat, sleep and kind of lumber around.
Bankrate: Do you treat yourself to many extravagances?
Rachael Ray: I certainly have more shoes than I did 15 years ago, but no, not
so much. I like to spend a lot on the charity and developing that. We do things that we'd never been able to do, like we
take our whole family with us every year on our anniversary to Italy. Everybody goes -- the brothers, the sisters, a handful
of our friends. We do something crazy and huge like that that would certainly never have been in our budget.
But in our everyday life, I wear literally the same pants I've had for 10, 12 years. I still shop at T.J.
Maxx and Marshalls and Target, and I do my own grocery shopping. I wander around in Adidas sweats and wear bluejeans
most of the time.
So my everyday life is very much the
same. But we can afford to share a lot with our
family in ways we couldn't afford to do before,
and we can do great fun things that are emotionally
profitable for us, like starting the Yum-O! organization.
So those are the real perks for me, the real benefits
-- that you can treat your family nicely and provide
for them, and do something like start up this
organization of ours.
Bankrate: How much has Yum-O! raised for poor families?
Rachael Ray:
I don't know how much our coffers have, but we
just started handing out our first few scholarships.
We work through three different levels, so we
transfer some of the money to different grass-roots
organizations that feed the hungry, and we work
with the National Restaurant Association to hand
out our scholarship dollars.
Bankrate: You've got cooking and travel shows, a magazine, cookbooks, a talk
show -- what's the next thing on your plate?
Rachael Ray: I haven't planned it so far. I try not to plan too far ahead.
I just take things in little bits and pieces. The business kind of has a vibe and a life of its own, and I just kind of
let it dictate what we all do next.
But we're all very excited about the Yum-O! book coming out, and about Yum-O! really developing and that
movement kicking up. The shows are going really great, we have a wonderful summer planned, and I'm constantly writing "30
Minute Meals," so I'm just super, super happy. Whatever comes next, I'm excited to see what it is myself.
