Excuse yourself before leaving the dining table.
DINING in a fancy restaurant is not something the majority of us do often.
There are many do's and don'ts when fine dining and it is important to know them to avoid creating an awkward moment.
Metro Online Broadcast speaks to Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa food and beverage assistant manager Gilberr Cunanan to find out more about dining etiquette.
1. Sit up straight and no elbows on the table:
When you are seated at your table, sit up straight and do not slouch in your seat. Also, do not place your elbows on the table when you're having your meal.
2. Do not season your food before trying it:
Let's be honest, when we've cooked a perfectly good meal, we hope that people will enjoy it as it is without needing to add more seasoning. The same goes for chefs.
It is impolite to season your meal as soon as it is served without even trying it out first. After a bite or two, if you still feel that the dish lacks salt or needs a little pepper, proceed to season your meal.
3. Cut only a few pieces of your meal at a time and chew with your mouth closed:
Some people tend to cut up their entire meal (eg. chicken chop) before consuming it. Though this helps to speed up eating, it may look like you're in a rush to finish your meal. Instead, cut only two to three pieces. It is also important for diners to practise chewing quietly and with the mouth closed.
4. Do not reach for food on others' plates:
It is not polite to reach across for other people's food. If you would like to sample what they are having, request for it to be placed on a small plate.
5. Hold a wine glass by the stem:
It is a norm for guests to hold a wine glass by the bowl. However, the right way to hold a wine glass is by its stem.
6. Use a napkin to wipe your mouth:
Napkins are placed for guests to use. Use them when you need to wipe your mouth. Do not, under any circumstances, use your hand to wipe your mouth. This will reflect badly on your person and leave a bad impression on people you are dining with.
7. Do not pick your teeth in restaurants:
It is common to see people using a toothpick to pick their teeth in certain restaurants.
If you are having dinner at a fancy restaurant, refrain from using a toothpick or worse, your finger, to pick your teeth.
This will only make others around you feel disgusted and uncomfortable. If you feel the need to do so, excuse yourself and head to the bathroom.
Picking teeth
8. Dealing with unfamiliar food:
Sometimes at a restaurant you may be served something you've not had before. When this happens, watch how others around you start their meal. Note the utensils they pick up and how they eat the food served. This helps to avoid awkward moments and stares from others.
9. Excuse yourself before leaving the table:
It is rather rude to stand up and walk away from your company while dining together. If you need to leave the dining table for whatever reason, say 'excuse me', then leave the table. You don't want that girl or guy you are with to think you have decided to ditch them, do you?
10. Complete your meal by placing your utensils properly:
Show that you are done with your meal by resting your utensils on the plate parallel to each other with the handles pointing at the five o'clock position.
If you are taking a break from eating, leave the utensils crossed on your plate and facing down.

B6 Complex Gives Me Energy
I stopped taking B6 Complex for a while but quickly realized that my energy level was lagging. I am back on it and have noticed a real difference.

B Complex!!!
B6 Complex by Pure Encapsulations was recommended by my physician to address a depletion of B vitamins brought on by an autoimmune disorder. I have been taking it per her recommendation for 2 years.
Since it is a capsule, it seems to dissolve more effectively in the stomach than a tablet form. Based on blood work, it seems to be effective.
As with other supplements, the expense and the fact that it is not covered by prescription insurance.

The Importance of a Range Hood
Range hood is one of kitchen appliances that are highly under appreciated even if it's the most important part of the kitchen. It is an exhaust fan that is placed on top of a range. It is there in order to remove the steam and heat cause by cooking. Thus, lessening the humidity and moist in the kitchen, preventing molds and mildew from forming. It is also an additional source of lighting in the kitchen.
Dangers can arise without a range hood in your kitchen such as a high level of carbon monoxide in the kitchen causing poisoning, poor air quality and excessive heat. The range hood works by filtering the air from damaging pollutants and drawing them out of the house. In doing so, it can protect the people in the house from any irritation. It also reduces the steam and smell in the kitchen when cooking making it more comfortable. It also prevents grease from forming. Aside from health, it adds stylish features in the kitchen therefore adding more value to house if you decide to sell your house.
If you want to have a range hood do some researches you'll find that it has different types which are the following:
1. Wall Mount, this is gaining popularity among homeowners. This type of hood is large, stylish and professional looking. They usually come out on stainless steel. Often used as a wall when there is no available cabinet.
2. Under – cabinet Mount is the least expensive type of range. This traditional hood is known for having low stylish qualities. It is usually placed under a wall cabinet and attached to the exterior wall.
3. Island Mount has a sleek and stylish look compared to other under – cabinet models. It is known for its ability to retract its hood.
4. Microwave Mount is a range hood combination. It is known for having the ability to save space and dual purpose.
5. Ducted or Re – circulating: hoods can either be installed outside (ducted) or within the kitchen (recirculate). The recirculation offers owners the option of trapping the grease and smell through a carbon filter. While the ducted one means it removes a lot of hot air quickly cooling the kitchen.
6. Built In/Insert Blower Type Hood is the type known for its wood or metal hood and being able to hide its fan.
When buying a range hood one should consider the exterior, if it has a smooth surface, no crevices making it easy to be cleaned. The control is easy to operate and has readable letters. Next, the light can give additional illumination when needed and can be replaced easily. Lastly, the filter should be good. If it is made from aluminum it is cheaper and can be cleaned easily. They are usually reusable. That is why it should be clean every one to three months. Be sure to also get the measurement before purchasing one.
In order to make sure that your range hood is in top shape make sure to regularly inspect it. They can be cleaned by a solution of hot water and dish washing detergent. By maintaining it, you can be sure to enjoy cooking every time.

Safer Grapefruit
Warnings about grapefruit show up on some prescription drugs, as it can interfere with certain medicines. Now University of Florida researchers are developing a tasty grapefruit that won't come with a warning.
Doctors often warn patients who take heart and blood pressure medication not to eat grapefruit, but the fruit's image could be changing. Now researchers have created a grapefruit hybrid that won't interfere with medicine. Experts say the key lies in controlling for a family of chemicals in the fruit called "furanocoumarin."
Fred Gmitter/UF citrus genetics researcher: "There are certain relatives of grapefruit that we call Pomelo, some of which are very, very low or have no furanocoumarins in them at all. And we've crossed these with ordinary grapefruit. And learned that it's a trait under simple genetic control. There's a single gene that appears to control this characteristic and so we can select in the hybrid families that we make, we can select individuals that do not have this chemical."
The furanocoumarin levels in these new hybrid fruits are actually lower than what you would find in foods such as lemons and celery, which naturally carry the chemical.
Fred Gmitter/UF citrus genetics researcher: "Doctors don't generally tell their patients not to drink lemonade or not to eat celery. So these should be safer, as safe or safer than lemons or celery."
It'll still take time to get the new hybrids to market, so consumers can eat grapefruit free of worries about drug interactions or warning labels.

C-Ride Feat. T-Pain 'Money Round Here' — Video Premiere
Artist: C-Ride feat. T-Pain
Song: 'Money Round Here'
Why You Should Watch: C-Ride puts the Recession on hold in his new video featuring T-Pain, whom Ride calls a "musical genius." The newcomer also gives props to production team Cool and Dre. "It's deeper than music, those are my brothers," Ride told the BoomBox. "We met by me passing out a 5-song demo to any and everybody. Had my number on it and Dre called. It's been magic ever since."
Watch the video after the jump.

I'm looking for the fastest way to decode a local mpeg-4 video's frames on the iPhone. I'm simply interested in the luminance values of the pixels in every 10th frame. I don't need to render the video anywhere.
I've tried ffmpeg, AVAssetReader, ImageAssetGenerator, OpenCV, and MPMoviePlayer but they're all too slow. The fastest speed I can get is ~2x (2 minutes of video scanned in a minute). I'd like something closer to 10x.
Assuming my attempts above didn't utilize the GPU, is there any way to accomplish my goal with something that does run on the GPU? OpenGL seems like it's mostly for rendering output but I have seen it used as filters for incoming video. Maybe that's an option?
Thanks in advance!

10 More of the Best Texts to Send Girls
Last year I wrote the 10 Best Texts to Send Girls…OF ALL TIME. Now, time hasn't ended and those 10 texts are still totally relevant and effective.
But since these posts are fun to put together, and I think they teach good fundamentals for texting and communicating with women, I decided to follow up last year's post with another 10 texts, straight from my iPhone…
10.) Know Any?
A big part of texting girls is learning how to give a compliment without coming off like ass-kissing chump. Saying flattering things—but saying them in interesting ways—is the best way to work a phone number into a date. This text is a perfect example of that. By playfully inviting a girl to a movie, but calling her "cute" and "nerdy," and then flirtatiously negating the invitation by adding, "Know any?" is a great way to keep things smoldering (especially with cute, nerdy chicks).
9.) The Badass
One of the worst things a guy can do when texting girls is become too predictable. If you find yourself going back-and-forth with women on text (which you shouldn't, per my cardinal rule of texting from The 4 Elements of Game), you should absolutely make sure you don't become boring, predictable guy. If a girl asks what you're doing, or how you plan on spending your vacation, giving a serious answer will usually just cause a lull. Therefore, answering with something totally ridiculous (like The Badass) will re-spark the excitement.
8.) Diseased Romantic
Telling girls you think they're hot, and that you're interested in them sexually, is how you stay out of the friend zone. Unfortunately it's also how to be a major creep-master. Therefore, there's certainly an "art" to expressing sexual interest. As I detail in The 4 Elements, effective sexual tension is all about balancing drive (sexual interest) with inspiration (humor and personality). This text brings the sexual interest while also keeping it humorous. And somewhat gross.
7.) Vanity Fair
Let's face it: humans are vain creatures. Whenever people talk about us, we want to hear about it. So why not use that human foible to your advantage? By "baiting" a woman by saying something reminded you of her, and then telling her you'll explain over some wine, you set up a nice little date for yourself.
6.) The Morning After Text
Sometimes the most important text you send is the first text. For a long time I struggled with this, either texting too much or too little, too serious or too bizarre. Finally I stumbled on a text that always seems to get a good response, without making it seem like I'm trying too hard. This text says it all: cougars, wildness, the place where you met, your name, and even one of those little emoticons. This text rarely doesn't get a response—even from girls who might not even remember you.
5.) First Impressions
Whenever you're sending a text, you might as well send something that will work for you later. Therefore, if I get a date venue before a girl, I don't just text, "Here". I try to spice things and text something we can immediately joke about when she shows up. By describing myself in a way so obviously not me, I set up a flirty dynamic before the date even begins. It's a great way to start a night.
4.) Traditional Date
As I said before, one the best texting skills a man can learn is the ability to give compliments without coming off weird or creepy. Most guys tell girls they're hot or beautiful or some permutation of the two. It's much better, however, to complement a girl in tandem—or, in other words, make a cocky statement about yourself while also giving her a complement. My favorite way to do this is by commenting on how great your future children will be. When you tell her you want to have Zoolander babies with her, you're not only telling her she's hot and you're hot, but you're also implying you're going to have sex—all while you keep it funny. Win, win, win.
3.) Traditional Date
These days, people really over-think dating. If you think dating is complicated for a dude, it's equally complicated for women. Therefore, do everyone a favor and suggest something old fashioned…like a drink. Keeping these simple is not only a great text strategy—it's also a great way to procure a date.
2.) Music Assistant
Sometimes you just need a text to keep the ball in the air. When I used to work in an office, I'd sit in my cubicle texting babes all day. Usually I'd just use text to set up meet ups or manage girls I was seeing, but occasionally I'd just send a text to keep things alive with girls I was working on. Asking a girl for a song recommendation is a great way to get to know her while not asking boring interview-style questions like, "What kind of music do you like?" Get a gangsta recommendation from a hot girl in your phone…like right now.
1.) Jaws
Sometimes your best bet when texting is to go with the absurd. These sorts of texts are especially good when you're getting lackluster responses or no responses at all. While it's a hit-or-miss move, if a girl has a special place in her heart for sharks, you just may be able to rekindle things with the Jaws text.
(Alternative Jaws text: "Shark's over. It's safe. What are you doing later?")
And so there you have it: 10 More of the Best Texts to Send Hot Girls…OF ALL TIME!
Oh, if you found those texts helpful, you will LOVE the information in our newsletter. I know must newsletter are just filler content with endless marketing pitches…and that's exactly why I made sure to only put my BEST content into each newsletter, delivered straight to your inbox each day.
Just give me a week and I guarantee you'll understand why I'm so confident our newsletter kicks massive ass and will get you dating your dream girl. Just log-in with you email below!

What to do now - Gardening Events
The Denman Island Home & Garden Tour turns 20
Highlights from some of the unique gardens that were part of this year's popular event
A wall of boots
The theme of reusing common items appears again: these repurposed old boots at Sandy and Des Kennedy's garden have been painted, lined up neatly along the wall of a garden shed and filled with flowers (real and artificial, depending on what's available). Old picture frames, painted to match the dusky aqua-grey colour of the wall, integrate this fun feature. An artistic eye and a sense of restraint keeps this look from veering into the realm of "cutesy." The shy little garden gnome is an unusually understated example of this species.

The head of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) called for more collaboration among regulators to improve drug quality and safety as she wrapped up a visit to India after recent import bans on drugs from a handful of plants in the country.
In recent months the FDA has banned the import of drugs and drug ingredients from leading Indian manufacturers including Ranbaxy Laboratories and Wockhardt, citing quality concerns.
The bans threaten the image and market share of India's $14 billion pharmaceuticals sector in the United States. India is second only to Canada as a drug exporter to the United States, where it supplies about 40 percent of generic and over-the-counter drugs.
"We think this is a critical moment in time, when we have to think and act in new ways, and that requires real commitment as national regulators to work as a coalition of global regulators," FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg told reporters.
"And that is why it is so important that the Indian regulator really joins us at the table, because they are so important in the global marketplace for medical products."
Hamburg met regulatory and health ministry officials as well as executives of drugmakers including Ranbaxy and Wockhardt.
Quality was the central theme of Hamburg's visit, which included a trip to the Taj Mahal.
"It was evident," Hamburg wrote in a blog post on Friday, "that those responsible for building the Taj and those that are preserving the centuries-old structure are committed to extraordinary quality."
She said that "vision of quality and care" remained with her as she met executives from Indian drug exporters.
During the visit, Hamburg and ministry officials signed a statement of intent to achieve, among other things, "convergence in regulations in keeping with international standards".
The agreement provides for U.S. and Indian regulators to inform each other before inspecting drugmakers' plants, so host-country inspectors can join as observers.
The Drug Controller General of India on Monday told Reuters that he sees scope for India's Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) working with the FDA and improving regulatory practice, adding that the Indian regulator will continue to follow its own quality standards.
"We don't recognise and are not bound by what the U.S. is doing and is inspecting," G.N. Singh said. "The FDA may regulate its country, but it can't regulate India on how India has to behave or how to deliver."
Industry officials in India say that weak domestic regulatory oversight and a

Got a new pda today with co-pilot 5 but it aint very good, got a 128mb card but tomtom is to big, anyway round it. any help please
Install tomtom on your PDA memory and put the map in the Card. Should be a stretch but should work. Think the older map is smaller than the new one off memory not too sure tho.
Yes, but it involves money.
You will need a bigger SD Card, you can pick a 2 gig one up for 15 quid delivered now
Have a look in the bargain section there is a link in there somewhere
i downloaded the new uk maps 6.5 from rapidshare but what files do i need and where do they go (ie folder names)
ordered myself a minisd card now should arrive in a couple of days, got a copy of tomtom5 for now, is there much difference, it fits on a 128 card i know that much
yep its easier to go and by @least a gig , very cheeeeeeeeeeep now a days
a bigger memory card should help they go cheap now mate
i have tomtom 6 running on a 256 sd card.i find that it is a lot slower than tomtom 5,also tomtom6 looses the signal a lot more than usual,stick with 5 in my opinion.
Can you tell me which files you need to copy for TT 6 to work on a 256 mb card.
I have a few 256 cards, and it seems silly (yes I know how cheap they are) to buy another.
You could delete all the voice files and just keep the one you use but its usually the map files that take the most room, new PDA new memory card is the best solution though

Weakness in GoldMine(tm) Email Manager allows arbitrary code execution
Systems: GoldMine 5.70 and 6.00 prior to version 30503
Vulnerable: 5.70.11111,5.70.20404,6.00.21021,6.00.30203,6.00.30403
Not Vulnerable: 5.70.30503, 6.00.30503
Severity: Serious
Category: Arbitrary Execution of Code of Hackers Choice
Classification: Input Validation Error
BugTraq-ID: TBA
CVE-Number: CAN-2003-0241
Remote Exploit: yes
Local Exploit: no
Vendor URL: www.frontrange.com
Author: Michael S. Scheidell, SECNAP Network Security
Scheduled Release date: May 29th, 2003
Notifications: FrontRange(tm) notified April 27th, 2003, Fix released May 29th, 2003
Discussion: (From FrontRange web site)
Quickly and easily equips professionals, SOHOs (Small Offices/Home Offices), small businesses and teams with automated customer/contact management and workgroup tools.
Problem: By sending a specially mal-crafted email to a user who opens it with the GoldMine mail agent, a hacker can run arbitrary code of the hackers choice on the users computer. This includes remote trojans, irc zombies, spyware, malware, remote key loggers, or any program a hackers wants to. This program will be running inside the corporate network, behind the firewall and access anything the infected user has access to. The GoldMine mail agent does not even run the html email in the 'security zone' as does Microsoft(tm) Outlook, but passes anything that looks like HTML to be executed unrestricted directly to the default Browser (usually IE).
User does not even have to open the email, as the default 'preview' option will pass the first few lines of the email to IE which will trigger the exploit, in fact, just highlighting the email in order to delete it could trigger the exploit.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name CAN-2003-0241 <http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0241> this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE list (<http://cve.mitre.org>), which standardizes names for security problems.
Exploit: No exploit is necessary, as there are already examples in viruses and trojans that were designed to attack Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express.
Microsoft fixed these by patching both readers and allowing the user to set the security zone for reading HTML email in the 'insecure' settings.
To see an exhaustive list of what can happen when email is passed to IE, see <http://www.guninski.com/browsers.html>
Vendor Response: FrontRange immediately verified the existence of this vulnerability, created a patch and scheduled its release as soon as QA testing was done. FrontRange is concerned about it's users security and has issued a patch on May 29th for their current 6.0 version, as well as their legacy 5.70 version.
Solution: FrontRange advises its clients that they should upgrade to the latest version of GoldMine Business Contact Manager. Please see FrontRange support page for more information: <http://support.frontrange.com/>.
SECNAP has tested FrontRange provided solution on 5.70.30503 and it runs HTML through IE restricted security zone now, just like outlook and outlook express. If you still fail the test, you need to check the IE restricted security zone settings.
If you cannot upgrade, then you should immediately disable IE as email viewer, in "Edit >> Preferences >> Internet >> More Options >> Advanced"
Administrators can change user preferences from "File >> Configure >> User Settings" or via editing the users ini files and change [Internet] section EmailReadertype to 1
To test to see if you are vulnerable, you can send a blank email to firstname.lastname@example.com Note: this test will be discontinued after July 1st, 2003 and is only available to GoldMine email).
Michael Scheidell, SECNAP Network Security, www.secnap.net
The original problem with IIE, Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express was found by George Grunski and involved insecure default reading of a malformed HTML Email in Outlook and OE and insecure running of HTML (see <http://www.guninski.com/browsers.html>). Also, thanks to Jeff Bell, VP Information Technology, Zino Mortgage <http://www.zinomortgage.com> and Angel Alexander Magańa of FrontRange for their assistance in verifying the problem.

Employment Law
Employment Law Questions? Ask an Employment Lawyer.
There are many reasons why an employee could be put on administrative leave. It could be to investigate an alleged report of misconduct, protect sensitive information within the company, or more. Also, some companies have different policies regarding administrative leave with pay. If you have issues about administrative leave, write to Employment Lawyers on JustAnswer for legal help.
Listed below are a few questions answered by the Lawyers on questions related to administrative leave.
It is up to company policy to define how long an employee can be put on administrative leave without pay. Usually, it means that you are still employed but are on leave without getting paid for it. So, unless you have been specifically told that you have been fired, you haven't. However, you should continue to check in with your employer to ensure that you cannot later be accused of quitting your job or abandoning it.
You can also get in touch with HR and check with them how long you are expected to be on leave for and when they might be contacting you. There's nothing stopping you from looking for alternate employment; but since you haven't been told that you are terminated, you still have a job.
Case Details and Additional Questions: I work in California and have been with my employer for only five weeks. Can this mean that I am going to be fired? Is there a possibility that they will call me in so that I can answer questions to resolve the issue?
Administrative leave is dependent on your company policy. Only general statements can be made at this stage based on what little is known of your case. Usually, an investigation within the company can be completed within two weeks. The state you work in is an "at will" employment state, so your company can terminate your employment without conducting an investigation and also suspend you without paying you. Since they haven't done that, it seems like they are trying to solve the problem.
They are not obligated by law to call you in to answer questions, though it might seem a little odd to not do so. If you do have an employment contract and a legal right to your job, then calling you in to answer questions would be part of necessary "due process."
Case Details: I complained about sexual harassment in my company. The person I complained against and I were both put on paid administrative leave as part of the investigation. Stressed out, I went to visit my doctor. Now my employer says that I need to put it into writing that I chose to use my vacation and sick leave.
If your organization employs at least 15 people and you are being treated less favorably than even the accused, it is possible that your employer has violated the federal law by retaliating against you for reporting the incident. You should, in all probability, still continue to be on paid leave until the end of the investigation. If the situation doesn't get better, you could go to the EEOC and file a complaint against your employer.
Case Details: My school district's Personnel Director put me on administrative leave with pay. Before I was ushered off campus, she handed me a letter that stated: "In order to protect the integrity of the District's investigation and to protect you from any allegations of possible misconduct, you are hereby directed to not discuss this matter with any District employee, or any other persons." How can I approach the California Labor Commissioner with a claim, meet a lawyer, or work with my union?
The school cannot stop you from approaching the Labor Commissioner to file a claim or contacting an attorney. This is just an example of non-lawyers trying to order you into not talking to any coworkers who may be used as witnesses. This would exclude your union representative, as you have the right to be represented by your union.
Administrative leave policies differ from company to company. If you are ever faced with being put on administrative leave by your employer, you should know what your rights are. Employment Lawyers on JustAnswer can help you clarify doubts and put fears to rest. So write to them for answers that are both quick and reasonable priced.

The Real Estate Portfolio of the United States House of Representatives
Ziobrowski, Alan J., McAlum, Harry, The Journal of Real Estate Research
This study examines the real estate investments of members of the United States House of Representatives from 1985 to 1995 with a focus on agency theory. The real estate holdings are characterized in terms of the number of properties owned, the reported value of the properties, property types, the property locations and transactions. Representatives are found to hold more real estate when compared to those of other investors in the United States with similar levels of income. Representatives also seem to time the market better, presumably because they understand more about the implications of the changes in tax laws they enacted. Thus, the Tax Reform Act of 1986 caused House members to reduce their real estate holdings much faster than other U.S. investors. This lower level of real estate investment may also have reduced the economic linkages between Representatives and their constituents, which might affect their incentive to fight for the interests of their constituents.
There can be little doubt that no asset class is more strongly influenced by federal tax policy than real estate. Together with the President of the United States and the United States Senate, no one has more influence on federal tax laws than do the 435 members of the United States House of Representatives. They also have a strong voice in the distribution of federal funding for such things as new interstate highways, military bases and large public works projects that, in turn, can have an immense impact on the economic well being of individual communities across the entire country. Therefore, members of the House not only affect real estate values on a macroeconomic scale but also impact real estate at the local level as well.
This research has strong ties to agency theory. Although agency theory has most commonly been applied to the management of the firm in the private sector, from the beginning Ross (1973) and Jensen and Meckling (1976) recognized that the principles of agency theory could be applied to the operation of government as well as the to operation of the firm. In a representative democracy, voters (the principals) correspond to the shareholders in a firm. Their role is to elect government officials and their objective is the maximization of net social benefits. Elected government officials (the agents), corresponding to corporate board members in the firm, represent the voters in the affairs of government collecting both explicit and implicit wages that affect both their behavior and their objectives. When working in government service, members of Congress earn low wages compared to what they could potentially earn in the private sector. As extra compensation, they earn additional wages in the form of the status and perquisites associated with their office and deferred compensation available from the private sector when they eventually leave office. However, to enhance their future career opportunities in the private sector or promote their re-election to Congress, they must minimize problems while in office. This conflict of interest between longterm objectives and their responsibilities to voters often causes them to publicly disavow the existence of serious problems, employ off-budget spending, accept secret campaign contributions and be overly influenced by special interest groups.
The use of agency theory to explain the behavior of government officials is perhaps best exemplified in studies related to the so-called "Savings and Loan Crisis" of the 1980s. Kane (1989, 1990, 1996) has been among the most prolific authors on this topic suggesting that agency costs were at the heart of the crisis. Kane argues that Congress failed to recognize structural weakness in the system of deposit insurance and regulation. Congress also failed to adequately monitor regulators and deposit insurers. Some people in Congress (most notably the "Keating Five") have even been charged with sacrificing the public good in order to satisfy the needs of special interest groups. …

NBC Picks Up New Michael J. Fox Comedy For Fall 2013
Twenty-three years after Family Ties wrapped on NBC in 1989, Michael J. Fox is heading back to the network as the star of an all-new comedy based on his real-life experiences as a father with Parkinson's Disease.
NBC announced today that they've picked up the single-camera comedy for a full 22-episode season. "To bring Michael J. Fox back to NBC is a supreme honor and we are thrilled that one of the great comedic television stars is coming home again," NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt gushed in a statement.
Michael added, "I'm extremely pleased to be back at NBC with a great creative team and a great show."
Look for the still-untitled project to premiere next fall. If Michael's Emmy-nominated Curb Your Enthusiasm cameo is any indication, the 51-year-old actor knows how to find humor in his personal struggle with Parkinson's.

The Tallahassee Police Department is seeking the public's assistance in identifying two fraud suspects. On 9/07/13, the elderly victim was working at the Paisley Daisy, a small boutique jewelry store located at 1626 NE Capital Circle. The two suspects came into the store and asked to see various items for sale. While the victim was busy helping one of the suspects, the victim was distracted, which gave the other suspect an opportunity to steal several credit cards out of the victim's purse. The two suspects left the business and quickly traveled around the city to various businesses and made several fraudulent purchases with the stolen credit cards totaling over $5500.00.
The suspects are described as follows:
Black female, approximately 25-30 years of age, 5'06" to 5'08" in height, medium build, medium skin complexion and short hair.
Black female, approximately 20-25 years of age, 5'03"to 5"06" in height, thin build, light/medium skin complexion with long hair, possibly extensions. A picture of both are attached to this email.
Investigators from TPD's Criminal Investigations Division have assumed the case and are asking anyone with information to please call Tallahassee Police Department at (850) 891-4200 or Big Bend CrimeStoppers at (850) 574 – TIPS.

Former Director on Redstone Arsenal Sentenced for $1.6 Million Procurement Fraud and Bribery Scheme
|U.S. Attorney's Office December 09, 2009
BIRMINGHAM—U.S. District Judge Sharon Lovelace Blackburn today sentenced a former high-level government employee with the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command in Huntsville to five years in prison for a procurement fraud scheme that netted him $1.6 million in bribes, announced U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance.
Judge Blackburn also ordered MICHAEL L. CANTRELL, 54, of Huntsville, to pay the government $2.5 million in restitution and directed him to pay $352,145 in back taxes to the Internal Revenue Service.
Cantrell has forfeited his Huntsville home, valued at $960,000, which was built with kickbacks he received for steering government business to specific contractors. The government recovered $274,940 when the house was sold. The judge entered a $685,060 forfeiture judgment against Cantrell for the government to recover the remaining value of the property.
"Mr. Cantrell abused his position with the U.S. Army for his own financial gain," Vance said. "Although the United States requested a downward departure from Cantrell's advisory guideline sentence based on his assistance to the government, which helped investigators identify and prosecute five other individuals in the case, the United States believes it is important that defendants like Cantrell serve time in prison. Prison time both punishes the defendant and deters future criminal conduct. The District Court recognized that need," Vance said.
Cantrell was a civilian employee of the Army Space and Missile Defense Command at Redstone Arsenal and served as the director of the Joint Center for Technology Integration (JCTI) from 2000 to 2005. In 2005, the center was renamed the Integrated Capabilities Management Directorate (ICMD), and Cantrell continued serving as director until April 2007.
He pleaded guilty in 2008 to conspiracy to commit bribery, bribery, and tax evasion arising out of the procurement fraud scheme involving contracts with the Space and Missile Defense Command. Cantrell admitted receiving about $1.6 million in bribes over six years in exchange for giving preference to certain contractors. The money came to him in cash, checks and wire transfers.
Cantrell received kickbacks in exchange for: recommending approval of contracts to certain contractors, applying and designating funding to those contracts, and causing payments to be made on contracts that produced nothing for the government.
"Today's sentencing stresses the importance of holding accountable those who participate in kickback schemes that subvert the competitive process and corrupt fair competition of American businesses," said FBI Special Agent in Charge Patrick J. Maley.
The Space and Missile Defense Command has responsibility for research, development and acquisition of systems that may be used for defense against ballistic missiles. To carry out that mission, it solicited competitive proposals for basic and applied research projects. Cantrell, and people under his supervision, were authorized to evaluate proposals for contracts submitted in connection with the solicitations. Their evaluations were included in submissions to the contracting authority for the Space and Missile Defense Command. As director of JCTI and ICMD, Cantrell had decision-making authority over certain projects, including the ability to place funding on specific contracts.
Cantrell pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy, two counts of bribery and one count of evasion of personal income taxes in 2002. Bribery was charged in two counts, as different contractors were involved in the schemes. Both counts charged him with receiving money or things of value from people who had an interest in and influence over companies that had contracts with the space and missile command. One count charged Cantrell with receiving about $1.2 million in bribes between 2001 and 2005; the second charged him with receiving about $400,000 between 2005 and 2007.
Cantrell's tax evasion involved filing a false tax return. That return stated that joint taxable income was $156,785, when the actual income was $514,838, due to bribes received in 2002. Cantrell was ordered to file amend tax returns for all years the conspiracy was ongoing (2001 through 2005), and was ordered to pay all back taxes, calculated to be $352,145.
"Mr. Cantrell exploited his position as director of JCTI and ICMD, for his own personal financial gain, which came at the expense of the country he was entrusted to serve," said Reginael D. McDaniel, IRS Special Agent in Charge, Criminal Investigations, in Atlanta. "IRS Criminal Investigation is committed to addressing corruption at every level, and is pleased to have been instrumental in this case" McDaniel said.
The case was investigated by special agents of the FBI, IRS and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, along with the assistance and cooperation of the Army Space and Missile Command, the Army Criminal Investigation Division-Fraud Team, and the Defense Criminal Investigative Service of the Department of Defense. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michael Whisonant and James Ingram prosecuted the case on behalf of the United States.

Mesa gym benefits from small business award contest, encourages others to apply
MESA, AZ - Growing a small business in the current economic climate. One man is on his way after winning a contest with a hefty prize.
Chuck Markos is living out his dream of owning his own crossfit gym. He runs the Firebird Crossfit gym in Mesa.
It's a dream that started while he was still serving in the United States Army.
"We were doing Crossfit in our garage and training our friends and so we knew this was something we wanted to do post-Army," Markos said.
But in a time when half of all small businesses fail he knew he and his wife would need some help. That's when they heard about the Valpak " Dough to Grow " award contest.
"One of my athletes told me and said 'hey they have this contest, you ought to enter it,' so I sat down and wrote the essay," Markos said.
More than 500 applicants entered for their chance at the $10,000 for small business owners last year. Chuck knew the odds were against him but then he got the call.
"At first I thought she called me to tell me I got third place or sorry or something like that... you don't expect to get a call like that very often, but it was very happy," Markos said.
That was in 2012. Now this year's contest is up and running and the sponsors say they understand that the odds are stacked against them.
"We really are trying to help these businesses in a tough economy because we understand. It's tough out there." Co-owner of Phoenix Valpak, Cindy Rash, says the "Dough to Grow" award contest is also about getting to know who our local business owners are.
"It's so exciting to be able to be a part of something like this and see Chuck's growth and also see all these other business owners who have great stories," Rash said.
Markos says he's gone from training about 20 people to nearly 150. Now he just encourages every other small business owner, like himself, to get any aid out there.
The deadline to enter is October 31. Three winners will be chosen this year. For more rules and more information visit the " Dough to Grow " website.

The Eyesore of the Month
Architectural Abortions from the USA and Around the World
(And Sometimes Other Miscellany Infecting the Landscape)
April 2010
A perennial favorite here at EOTM, architect Frank Gehry poses in front of his latest tortured building, the Las Vegas branch of the Cleveland Clinic's Lou Ruvo Brain Health building, a real masterpiece of irony, insofar as it seems to say, "...this is your brain on Frank Gehry...." If I had a problem with my brain, I would not be reassured arriving at this place. The implicit sadism is impressive.
Interesting side note: Lou Ruvo was a liquor distributor. He got a building with the D.T's.

Ok I actually have an msn account "firstname.lastname@example.com" Ever since I tried to view my emails using Outlook 2007, I no longer can view my old emails from the Hotmail web interface.
I think I messed up the Outlook configuration because I could view new emails from Outlook but I could not send any emails from Outlook, getting something like "Cannot connect to SMTP blah blah blah".
I want to get rid of Outlook, undo what I did before. So I tried deleting on my machine my email account by going to Control Panel --> Mail --> and deleting my email account. But no luck.
Anyone knows how I can see my old emails from Hotmail account? I don't know why Outlook would interfere with the Hotmail Web interface. Isn't Outlook and Hotmail different clients. I can view my old emails from Outlook but not from Hotmail web interface. I mean when I setup Outlook did all my emails get moved to another email server?

Need to know how to put your iPhone in Airplane Mode?
Planning on traveling by airplane soon? Booked a trip out of the country? If you plan on taking your iPhone with you, then you need to read this before you travel and prevent yourself from coming home to a huge cell phone bill!
How to put your iPhone in to Airplane Mode…
If you're planning on travelling by air, then you need to make sure you know how to put your iPhone in Airplane Mode.
Airplane Mode is a built-in option in your iPhone that makes it simple to shut off all cellular connectivity from your phone, allowing you to keep use of you phone while on board an airplane, so that you don't interfere with any of the planes communications.
Another great time to use Airplane Mode would be if you are traveling out of country and don't want to incur roaming charges on your phone bill.
You can simply turn your iPhone to Airplane Mode while you are traveling, and just use WiFi to access the internet, allowing you to still use your phone for things like Facebook or email, without having to worry about data or voice roaming charges.
To put your iPhone in to Airplane Mode:
- Open the 'Settings' app.
- The very first option at the top will say 'Airplane Mode', to enable it, just slide the switch next to it to 'ON'.
- Once you've enabled Airplane Mode, you will see a small airplane icon appear in the top left corner of the screen where the carrier name and signal bars usually are. This confirms that your iPhone is in Airplane Mode.
It's important to remember that when you put your iPhone in Airplane Mode, all cellular connectivity will be turned off, including WiFi. You may choose to turn WiFi on again by tapping on 'Wi-Fi' from the settings menu and then sliding the switch to 'ON'.
Keep in mind that you must always listen to the in flight attendants once aboard an airplane, and only enable WiFi if it's allowed aboard your flight.
Once you no longer need your iPhone to be in Airplane Mode, simply re-open the settings app, and slide the switch next to 'Airplane Mode' to 'OFF'. This will re-activate your cellular connections again.

I know it's closer to fall than spring but isn't it cute!!! I finally used my Kissable Tree by Kim Hughes on a card. I've used it for scrapbook layouts but it was always a little to big for a card. I broke out of my A2 mold and this card is a whopping 6 1/2 x 4 1/2. I inked the tree with Versamark ink and then used SU's Chocolate Chip marker with my color spritzer to spray it before I stamped it onto the Kraft cardstock. The flowers were cut out of some My Minds Eye paper.

Joan' Story
My dad,my Hero , died 5 years ago. He had went into the hospital with a blockage and had stints put in. A few years later he had to have a quadruple bypass surgery.Then later a pace-maker and defibrillator. I talked to him the morning he was going home from his surgery 3 days later.He was laughing and joking and in good spirits. We were on our way to my middle sons College graduation 31/2 hours away and I told him I would see him when we got home. About an hour after getting there I got a call from my brother telling me to get home. They were taking dad to the hospital. He had gotten as far as the driveway and had a massive heart attack getting out of the car. That was the longest drive of my life. I got the last call not even half way home. Dad did not make it. He was gone before they got him there.I had to see my dad at the funeral home after they had already been working on him. I don't want my boys to go through the same horror I did. I am 52 years old and have been diagnosed as being obese. I work 50 hours a week in a factory but I can't seem to get my head wrapped around eating properly. I know I need to for my kids but everything I try fails. I hope someone out there can give me the support I need. Thanks.

WWTC offers computer forensics course
Published on Thursday, September 29, 2005
Business computer systems can be vulnerable to "hacker attacks." These attacks can range from harmless to identity thefts, or even attempts to steal company secrets to gain a competitive edge. Western Wisconsin Technical College (WWTC), in conjunction with the Tri-State Area Technology Group (TSATG), is offering a course on how to trace a hacker and collect evidence for authorities.
The two-day class, Incident Response and Forensics, is designed for computer network and system administrators. It will be held Friday, Oct. 14 and Friday, Oct. 21, from 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. in Room 205 of WWTC's Business Educations Center, 405 8th St. N.,
La Crosse.
Participants will learn how to build their own Incident Response Toolkit, a set of utilities used to capture unauthorized users. They will also learn how and where to look for evidence on a Windows 2000 system as well as some common sense techniques for isolating a system and preserving the evidence for an offline analysis.
The instructor, Randall W. Miller, has served in the Navy working with cryptography and communications. He has an AAS in Computers and Digital Electronics from Dunwoody Institute and has done systems and network administration in both Windows and (multi-flavor) UNIX environments for various clients in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Mr. Miller currently works as a government contractor for the Army Reserve doing research, development, and instruction for courses in computer network defense.
Cost for the class is $225. To register, contact Colleen Clark at 608.785.9232 or e-mail email@example.com by Oct. 7. For information on additional WWTC programs and services, call 608.785.9200 or visit the WWTC Web site at wwtc.edu.

Action for the Delaware features artist William Lamson seemingly standing on the surface of the Delaware river. As the camera comes closer, we see Lamson's struggle to steady himself on a flotation device against the river's current. The challenge of balancing himself while also trying to submerge his support structure under water becomes the focus of the work.
Lamson's Action can be seen as a metaphor for the creative process, moving between the fiction of his position and the reveal of how the illusion is created. At first, he succeeds in convincing us that he is doing the impossible – standing on water – but then slowly he reveals the mechanism behind his visual trick. Quietly perched atop the current, there is a momentary suspension of belief that the artist is master over this natural force. Ultimately, however, he reveals how dominant the environment is and how helpless he is to control it.
Curated by Nora Burnett Abrams, Action for the Delaware will be presented in the Lu & Chris Law Gallery from January 19 through April 7, 2013. The Members Preview will be held on January 19, 2013 from 6–8PM and the exhibition will open to the public on January 20, 2013 for just 10¢ all day.

Kendall Jenner Dishes On The Meaning Of Family
December 30, 2013 02:37 PM by Stephanie Gustafson
Say what you want about Kendall and Kylie Jenner, it's clear the Keeping Up With The Kardashians stars love their siblings and parents. During a recent online Q&A session with fans, Kendall offered up a touching response when asked about the meaning of family.
Kendall Jenner love, love, loves her family, for better or for worse. Even with the constant lack of privacy, there's plenty of perks to having several siblings and half-siblings. For example, Kendall enjoys knowing that she can always count on having loved ones around. Some people might be bothered by this constant companionship, but Kendall finds it comforting. Answering a popular fan question on Mobio INsider, Kendall admitted that she really liked that, in her family, "You're never really bored, always someone to hang out with!"
But family means a lot more than simply hanging out when you're bored! Answering a follow-up question, Kendall shared her surprisingly intuitive thoughts on the concept of family: "It means people who will be there with you through everything, bad and good."
Yes, she's lucky to have born the daughter of very wealthy parents, but Kendall is also fortunate to know that her family members are always willing to lend their support. Even with their penchant for drama and the constant media posturing, it's clear that the many members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan love Kendall and Kylie Jenner to bits!
Do you agree with what Kendall Jenner has to say about the meaning of family? We know you have an opinion and we want to hear it, so feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below!
