It has been a long decade since Chilean director Alejandro Amenabar's won the Foreign Language Oscar for "The Sea Inside" in 2005, and then flopped in 2009 with "Agora."
Now, he will finally revisit the bleak, genre-driven territory that first defined his career -- from 1997's "Abre Los Ojos" to 2001's ravishingly beautiful ghost story "The Others" -- with his next film, "Regression."
Starring Ethan Hawke and Emma Watson, and also written by Amenabar, "Regression" turns on a detective (Hawke) whose investigation of a young girl's (Emma Watson) gravely serious accusations against her father (David Dencik) unearths a powerfully scary conspiracy. Hawke's Detective Bruce Kenner is aided by a psychologist (David Thewlis) who performs regression therapy on the father, also uncovering more unhappy memories.
On board the creative team of the film, which wrapped principal photography in Toronto this week, are "Pacific Rim" production designer Carol Spier, "The Last Days" DP Daniel Aranyo and VFX supervisor Felix Berges ("The Impossible").
"Regression" doesn't hit US theaters until August 28th, 2015 via Weinstein boutique arm TWC-Dimension. But then again, we've waited this long.

State Department security chief, three other senior officials relieved of their duties following probe into Libya attack which left four US diplomats dead
Published: 12.20.12, 09:51 / Israel News
The US State Department's security chief had resigned from his post and three other officials had been relieved of their duties following a scathing official inquiry into the September 11 attack on the US mission in Benghazi.
Eric Boswell has resigned effective immediately as assistant secretary of state for diplomatic security, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in a terse statement.

Customers Much More Likley to Pay for Apps via Integrated Carrier Billing, RIM Says
According to Research In Motion, consumers are much more likely to download paid apps when the carriers support integrated billing.
The Waterloo-based BlackBerry maker says that carriers, on average, "experience a 120% increase in BlackBerry app purchases by their customers."
On top of that, RIM says that up to 70% of their customers' purchases are transacted through the carrier when it supports integrated billing.
"There are clear business benefits for mobile operators when implementing carrier billing, since it enables them to build upon existing billing relationships with customers," Dario Talmesio, Principal Analyst, Informa Telecoms & Media, said. "RIM has always adopted a strategy of working constructively with operators. It follows therefore that implementing carrier billing through BlackBerry App World represents a rich opportunity for carriers."
"We're delighted that many of our carrier partners around the world have recognised the value that integrated billing provides, by making it easy and convenient for customers to purchase BlackBerry apps," Ronjon Nag, Vice President, App World & Intelligent Systems at RIM, said. "RIM remains committed to continued innovation in the way we align with our partners in order to best serve customers while providing a profitable platform for the whole mobile ecosystem."
In Canada, Rogers, Telus, and Bell support integrated carrier billing for their customers on BlackBerry App World. More than 40 carriers support it globally.

The photographs of the current, future and former living presidents at the White House earlier this week were remarkable for the fact that such a meeting has not occurred since 1981. And because, for the first time, an African-American president-elect is present. And because, once again, there isn't a woman anywhere in sight.
Yes, this is self-evident: we know no woman has ever been elected president in the United States. Or, really, ever come close. For all of Hillary Clinton's groundbreaking campaign, she was not even nominated. For all of the hand-wringing at the prospect of Sarah Palin being within a 72-year-old heartbeat of the presidency, she became the laughing stock of a ticket that went down to stinging defeat.
Under the last two administrations, women have made significant breakthroughs, gaining access to previously unattainable posts, such as Speaker of the House, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Secretary of Energy, Secretary of Agriculture, Secretary of Interior and Secretary of Transportation. However, even under Barack Obama, at least for now, some positions remain off-limits to women: Senate Majority Leader, Vice President, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of the Treasury, and CIA Director, for instance. Is it a coincidence that in the world's largest economy, whose military expenditure accounts for half the global total, the most senior posts dealing with money and war are still reserved for men?
It is surely true that Clinton smashed one glass ceiling and Palin, in her own way, too. But those were hardly the last such hurdles on the way to the presidency. If even ostensibly progressive presidents such as Bill Clinton and Obama are skittish about putting women in charge of Defense, the CIA or the Treasury, what does that say about the political system's ability to imagine a woman running all three, as President? True, no African-American had filled any of those posts either, and that did not prevent Obama from rising to the presidency. But do we really want to wait around for the type of confluence of events that happened in 2008 to reoccur? And for a woman with Obama's near-outlandish political skills, and sense of timing to emerge?
That is, in fact, part of the challenge. Before Clinton, no woman had seriously run for the presidency, and no woman appears to be doing so now. The situation is most dire on the Republican side because it is assumed that Obama will run for the Democrats in 2012. Republican women in Congress or statehouses are a dispiritingly dwindling group, which explains the ludicrous Palin selection. Once John McCain (or his advisors) decided he needed a woman on the ticket, the choice really boiled down to a group of eight Republican women Senators or Governors. Of those, only two passed the non-negotiable GOP presidential litmus test of being pro-life, Palin and Sen. Elizabeth Dole, who is older than McCain and so politically unskilled that she ended up losing her North Carolina reelection bid in a landslide. That left Palin, who may be trying to position herself for 2012, a testament to the Republican Party's slim pickings among women. Never say never, but there is a reason Dan Quayle, who actually made it to the vice presidency and is more articulate than Palin, has remained ensconced in a comfortable life of private "work."
Among Democrats, there is both more time and more talent, but besides Clinton, no elected woman has emerged as a high-profile national political leader. Ironically, such public standing is often bestowed on those who have previously run for president, and lost (think Joe Biden or Al Gore, for instance). Senators such as Claire McCaskill of Missouri and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota took a visible role in Obama's campaign but, as so often, they were simply very effective surrogates for the male candidate. It is debatable if this positions them for a future run or dooms them to the supporting cast. There are others, of course, such as newly elected Sen. Kay Hagan (who blasted Dole out of the Senate), who could go the Obama route and leapfrog all those who have been patiently plodding their way to the top job.
Even Democratic women face redoubtable challenges: they make up less than a quarter of their party's members of Congress, and even fewer are Governors. Half the states have never elected a woman Senator, and half the states have never elected a woman Governor. The slow progress of women in American politics is best illustrated by the country's dismal 69th place ranking in the percentage of women in national legislatures. This standing has deteriorated in each of the last ten years as women have gained more power in predictable countries such as Sweden or the Netherlands, but also in Latin America, Africa and Asia. These gloomy statistics are a powerful reflection of the United States' plummeting civil rights leadership, Obama's election notwithstanding: the country is falling further behind others when it comes to a whole array of rights for women, gay people and other minorities. Dozens of countries from Vietnam to Angola and Argentina now elect more women than Americans do. Dozens of countries from South Africa to Belgium to Colombia offer more rights for gay people than America does. And of course, the poor, workers, children, religious minorities have all seen their rights eroded, both relatively and absolutely, in the United States in the past decade. That we can always point to a horrifying although dwindling number of countries where women are considered chattel (Saudi Arabia), gay people punished by death (Nigeria), and children enslaved (Cambodia) does not mean the United States is not also failing to progress fast enough in these respects.
Last year's Democratic presidential primary was briefly the stage of a debate over whether sexism or racism were bigger impediments to election. The question is artificial, meaningless and impossible to answer. Artificial because it benefited neither of the leading candidates, but it did help their competitors, as was evidenced when the Republican nominee tried to wedge the issue of sexism between Democratic women and their male nominee. Meaningless because racism and sexism are hardly mutually exclusive. And impossible to answer because the statistical and empirical data can be manipulated to provide whatever answer is required. Leaving that pointless discussion aside, the bottom line remains: women have been shut out of the presidency in the many decades since they became enfranchised.
Among the handful of women who are nonetheless hopeful for a shot at the presidency, even in the long run, Janet Napolitano should be near the top. She is breaking ground in Obama's cabinet by taking over the Department of Homeland Security, a fairly recent creation that has been the preserve of men. Napolitano is a former US Attorney and the current Governor of Arizona, where she has, by all accounts, done a formidable job. She could surely be presidential material at some point. That, however, would require her to break yet more ground, as a single woman. After all, as Laura Bush said of Condolleeza Rice: she isn't interested in being president "because she is single."

Melissa Morgan's Second Biggest Loser Elimination
The message from the Biggest Loser ranch last night resonated loud and clear – they aren't playing the game. The message meant an elimination for Melissa Morgan, her second this season, and the first at the hand of her fellow contestants. She earned a spot back on the ranch during a week 11 twist, and then quickly picked up where she left off by being the most competitive person in the house. The contestants were clear that that was not the motive of season nine.
Melissa argues though that there is plenty of game play going on without her help, and pinpoints Michael and Koli for being players. Listen now as she talks to us about the game play in the house, as well as her effortless preparation for the half-marathon she completed.
"Is that the craziest thing in the entire world," squeals Melissa, as she reflects on running the half-marathon at the Rock 'n' Roll Mardi Gras Marathon in New Orleans. "Six months ago I was a fat girl who couldn't get to the mail box and back without dying." Melissa says she really didn't prepare to run the 13.1 mile race (which she completed in 3:49), she simply worked out each day. Now she has her sights set on taking on the San Antonio marathon this fall.

A 40-year-old Glenwood man is recovering from multiple injuries sustained in a three-vehicle collision April 12 on Highway 34 in central Mills County.
The Glenwood City Council approved its preliminary budget for the 2016-2017 fiscal year following a 34-minute public hearing at City Hall last Tuesday, April 12.
City council members unanimously approved the $4.1 million budget, despite a projected shortfall of up to $300,000 in its general fund account.
The field of county candidates has been set for the June 7 primary election.
The Republican Party has candidates running for all three "county courthouse" positions on the ballot in the primary - auditor, sheriff and board of supervisors. There are no Democratic candidates seeking the county offices.
Incumbent county auditor Carol Robertson of Glenwood is running unopposed in the Republican primary, as is county sheriff Eugene Goos of Glenwood.
Mills County is in the market for a new county attorney following the surprise resignation of Tricia McSorely.
Less than half way through the four-year term she was elected to serve in November 2014, McSorley has tendered her resignation to take a position with an insurance firm in Omaha. Her last day on the job will be April 22.
"It's a good move for my family," McSorley said. "It's a job opportunity that came up that I really couldn't pass up."
One vote decided the outcome of an Emerson city council race last week.
In a special election conducted Tuesday, April 5, Karen Morris defeated Phillip Kudron, 85-84, for a seat on the Emerson council. Herbert Petereit, Sr., won the election for mayor, 92-76, over David Gallery, Jr .
Uncertainty surrounded the outcome of the election when the Mills County Auditor's Office revealed that one absentee ballot was still outstanding at the conclusion of the day Tuesday.
The Glenwood Community School District Board of Education unanimously approved its 2016-2017 school district budget at a special meeting Monday, April 4.
Following a public hearing, the board voted 5-0 to approve a $32 million budget. The proposed budget for next year shows a net decrease of nearly $8 million from the 2015-2016 re-estimated budget figure for the district. Despite that nearly 20-percent budget decrease, the district's property tax rate will go up slightly from 13.73162 per $1,000 taxable valuation in the current year to 13.74644 for next year.
The Glenwood City Council will be asked to approve a budget next week with the understanding that the deficit in its general fund account will be prolonged for at least another year.
A public hearing for the 2017 fiscal year budget and a vote for council approval will take place Tuesday, April 12, 7 p.m., at City Hall.
Mills County philanthropist Charles E. Lakin died March 28 at the age of 94. Services are scheduled for Saturday, April 9, 10:30 a.m., at the First Baptist Church in Emerson with burial to follow in the Emerson Cemetery.
Mr. Lakin is survived by his wife, Florence, three children, 10 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
A graduate of Emerson High School, Charles Lakin farmed for much of his life.
When the principal position at Northeast Elementary School opened up with the pending retirement of Joan Crowl, Sherry Herron practically jumped at the opportunity.
Herron knew well and had long admired the Glenwood Community School District after shadowing Glenwood Middle School Principal Heidi Stanley while pursuing her administrator's degree six years ago.
Sen. Joni Ernst says Donald Trump will have her support in the November presidential election if he's the nominee of the Republican Party.
"I will support whoever the nominee is," Iowa's freshman senator told The Opinion-Tribune following a town hall meeting Thursday morning at Glenwood City Hall. "I think it is that important that we unify our party and work on issues that are important to the American people."

Nice, clean apartment in het heart of the city with a giant balcony and a (shared) roof terrace with a view on Acropolis. All major sights are within walking distance and tram and metro stops are nearby for a visit to Piraeus or the beach. Shops are available downstairs for breakfast and a bottle of wine. If you visit the market hall, you can easily prepare your "catch of the day" since all kitchen utensils (including grill plate) are available (although it might be a good idea to read the manual of the oven first).
Be aware that the google map at this site doesn't show the correct place of the apartment; search for "nikis 24 Athens" in google maps. (But there's no need for looking for the correct place, since Helena offers a pick up service at the airport for a reasonable fee.)
The only thing that could be improved: there are no relax chairs at the balcony.
It was great to be able to bivouac in the heart of Athens with so much space and tranquility. Helen and her team were very helpful. My daughter and I spent a wonderful week here!
Het was geweldig om in hartje Athene te kunnen bivakkeren met zoveel ruimte en rust. Helena en haar team waren erg behulpzaam. Mijn dochter en ik hebben hier een heerlijk weekje doorgebracht!
nice apartment and good taxi service with information.
Too bad views of the Acropolis is only from the roof and our own view of the condo is across the street.
fijn appartement en goede taxi service met informatie.
Jammer dat uitzicht op de Akropolis alleen vanaf het dakterras is en ons eigen uitzicht de flat aan de overkant is.
Helena and Vassili are very nice person, kind and willing to help. the house was very very nice and comfortable, in one of the best area of athens and with a beautiful terrace. I will surely recommend it, if you are 2/3 people!

Einfache Wohnung, jedoch wer keinen Luxus erwartet kommt hier gut zurecht. Der Balkon ist groß genug um zu zweit ein schönes Glas Wein zu tinken oder zu Frühstücken. Wer in Athen eine Wohnung sucht sollte darauf achten in der Nähe der Straßenbahn zu wohnen, dann erreicht man alles recht gut. Diese Wohnung liegt etwa 300 m von einer Station, eine Karte für 5 Tage kann man an der Station für 9 Euro kaufen, sie gilt für das ganze Straßenbahnnetz. Die Stadtteil City ist auch nur ein paar hundert Meter entfernt, hier kann man gut abends etwas trinken gehen, oder essen. Ansonsten ist Athen keine besonders schöne Stadt, aber wenn man ein wenig sucht, findet man einige schöne Ecken.
Bardzo fajny apartament dobrze wyposażony, duży taras z widokiem na Ateny. Miłe przyjecie z transportem za 32 euro z lotniska. Położenie - obok tramwaju którym można dojechać do Centrum i na plażę. Niedaleko supermarket.Spokojna i cicha okolica. Polecam.
Mooi en fijn appartement op loopafstand van het centrum en ook dicht bij de Metro. Alles is aanwezig, (ook wifi met 5 volwassenen tegelijk werkte uitstekend.) Prima communicatie met de eigenaren en hartelijk ontvangst.
Aan te bevelen.
It was fantastic and fully profesional expierience. The apartment was in the perfect part of Athens, we were close to the Acropol and Plaka. Thanks to support of Helena & Vasalli we were able to have magniefecent time during the one day trip to three islands. I highly recomend!
Spending time with Helena's apartment was very nice. The place is clean and cosy and very close to the centre. There was no problems with time of arrival. Also when we have a small "door-problem" the hosts help us quickly. Thank you for your hospitality!

Three young entrepreneurs opened an automated teller in this western Canadian city, calling it the world's first ATM able to exchange bitcoins for any official currency.
The machine, delivered to Vancouver by RoboCoin, an American manufacturer, stands against a wall of a popular coffee shop, and resembles an ordinary cash ATM.
However, instead of cash transactions it swaps Canadian dollars for bitcoins, the virtual currency of the Internet invented in 2008 by an anonymous computer scientist known only by the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.
Customers lined up here yesterday to use the ATM, then used their smartphones to buy coffee and muffins at the Waves coffee shop.
The ATM is the world's first, said co-owner Mitchel Demeter, a local entrepreneur who started trading in bitcoins several years ago, then earlier this year with two partners set up Bitcoiniacs, a Vancouver storefront money exchange.
He and his friends, who were high school students together, said they saw ATMs as a business opportunity.
"Nobody had an ATM, everyone was buying and selling on websites," said Demeter.
Customers use a private key - like a bank PIN number to access their online account of bitcoins on the ATM. They withdraw cash equivalents (the conversion rate is currently about one bitcoin for USD 200) from their bitcoins, or deposit cash bills. The machine transfers the money on the Internet via the Canadian VirtEx exchange.
Users can then spend their bitcoins with a smartphone, in a similar way to the way interact or credit cards are used, or by transferring the money to purchase goods online.
"It's the currency of the Internet, as real as any other," said Demeter.
The volatile currency is as yet unregulated by any government in the world, and it has had a share of notoriety by being used in the drug trade.
Germany, however, became the first country in the world earlier this year to declare bitcoins a "private currency."
And earlier this month investors were startled when a senior investment officer with giant hedge fund Fortress Investment Group said bitcoins could be used as a cheaper way of transferring money in countries with weak banking systems, reported the Financial Times.
In Vancouver, bitcoins are accepted by some 15 local businesses, from coffee shops to a landscaping business. Bitcoins are also increasingly common in several hotspots around the world, especially San Francisco, Berlin, and Argentina, and accepted by online companies such as Wordpress.

You are on a U.S. military aircraft, transporting hard drives with important, classified information, when you collide with another plane and are forced to land near an enemy intelligence agency. There is no time to delete the files, and the drives are in heavy-duty steel cases so that they are difficult to destroy. You have a few minutes before someone finds you, grabs the drives, and searches them for even the smallest trace of useful data. What would you do?
Michael Knotts, a senior research scientist at the Georgia Tech Research Institute, dealt with this question after a U.S. plane collided with a Chinese fighter jet and was forced to land near what he called "China's premier signals intelligence department" four years ago. At the request of defense contractor L3 Communications, he and other researchers developed a method for quickly erasing hard drives by cranking them through a mechanism with a powerful magnet inside.
Knotts explains that the device, dubbed the "Guard Dog" by the researchers, requires no electricity and is powerful enough to overcome the magnetic shielding effect of steel casings.
"The [National Security Agency] has to destroy about 30,000 hard drives a year," Knotts says. "Presently they do it by grinding them into powder or magnetically degaussing them" with a large electromagnet. These methods don't work when there's little time, power, and space.
He adds that although software-based "shredders" such Norton WipeInfo can delete and overwrite files several times to ensure that they cannot be read again, they are not powerful or fast enough for some military applications. These programs can take hours to erase a drive, he says, and they might leave some data behind. "A lot of approaches to erasing disks do only a partial job," Knotts says.
He explains that when a portion of a hard drive is found to be unstable, the drive automatically disables access to that region. All programs, including "shredder" software, are unable to write or read from these "sequestered sectors" and so cannot remove data that might be left in them. Theoretically, he says, a determined investigator with knowledge of how the drive works could find these sectors and read them, revealing a few important pieces of data.
"For the average person, software approaches are completely fine," Knotts says, but a leak of even a few words of NSA information could be dangerous.
The Guard Dog destroys all the data on a drive, even in parts that computers cannot access, and it can erase any magnetic media – VHS tapes, DAT tapes, ZIP disks and the like – in the same way that it erases hard drives. While CDs are beyond its reach, Knotts says that those can be easily destroyed using a sander-like tool that grinds off the bottom plastic layer and cuts into the underlying aluminum plate.
Although this system will probably be too expensive for individual users, Knotts says that L3 may produce hundreds or thousands of the devices to sell to government agencies and perhaps to private companies that deal with social security numbers or other sensitive data. The latter is important, he says, because "not just government targets are potential targets [for terrorists]," and even small amounts of important data could be dangerous in the wrong hands.

Hi! I have a user that just started getting this error message as soon as she signs into her Zimbra account "A Parsing Error Has Occurred" and I click "show details" this is what it says
" Method: IMGatewayListRequest

The user is opening Zimbra up through IE 8 and sometimes uses Firefox. She has been using it for months on IE8 and had no problems, just all of a sudden she gets this error. She can click ok and it goes away and she is able to stay in zimbra fine, it doesnt close out. It is more of an annoyance than anything and I would like to know what it means. Does anyone have a clue?

GamesIndustry.Biz tells about LucasArts's Chris Williams who says that "Gameplay must come first". He says:
I don't believe that someone is going to go out and spend the kind of money that it's going to cost to buy a new system just for the pretty graphics.
Williams continues:
LucasArts has worked really hard to develop new technology that we think is fundamentally going to change gaming at the core. That includes creating simulated rather than animated characters which react differently according to context, and new physics effects for more realistic visuals.
I'm not 100% sure what kind of technology they are talking about… but "new physics effects for more realistic visuals" belongs most likely to the "pretty graphics" section rather than about "better gameplay". The interview is going to be published tomorrow so we are left to see what happens, but my guess is that LucasArts continues the same path big companies are already doing: improving graphics. (I'm slightly exaggerating here.)
…which naturally leaves space for the rest of us indies: to focus bringing innovation in games.

Biographical Memoir of Rev. John Williams.
First Minister of Deerfield, Massachusetts-
By Stephen W. Williams M.D.
The lives of eminent men are identified with the history
either of the whole, or of a section of the country in which they
have resided. This is peculiarly the case with the subject of
this memoir Having spent the greater part of his days on the
banks of Connecticut river at a period when the country was
wild & waste & exposed to all the horror of savage warfare,
& having sustained so great a share of the privations &
sufferings of our fathers in planting & establishing the
pleasant country in which we now reside under the banner
of peace of comfort & security. His biography must be ex-
tremely interesting to his descendants & the public.
Mr. John Williams was born at Roxbury, Massachusetts, Dec.
10. 1644. He was son of Deac. Samuel Williams of the same
place & grandson of Mr. Robert Williams, who according
to the best information I can obtain, came from Norwich,
England, & settled at Roxbury in the year 1638, eighteen
years from the time of the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth
& eight years from the settlement of Ir ----tain, Shawmut,
or Boston. It appears that at the time of the first settle-
ment of Boston there was but one English inhabitant in Rox-
bury Eight years after this Mr. Robert Williams arrived & settled
there. We have no correct account of the cause of his leaving
his native land, but it was probably on account of the
religious persecution of the puritans, which at that time
was carried on in England with fiery & unrelenting zeal;
so much so that our ancestors preferred risking their lives
& property in a savage wilderness, far distant from their
native home, to the more savage persecutions of fanatical
bigots. The faithful page of history has informed us of the suf-
Stephen West Williams was a writer as well as a respected doctor. In addition to an active medical practice in Deerfield, Massachusetts, he gave and wrote speeches on medical subjects including one on medical law. He was also interested in the Williams family history and wrote a history of the family as well as this biography of what was, perhaps, the most famous member of the family, the Rev. John Williams (1664-1729). Reverend Williams was born in Roxbury, Massachusetts, and came to Deerfield, on the frontier, when he was 22 years old. He was carried to Canada in 1704, returned 2 years later and continued preaching. The Reverend Williams served the people of Deerfield until his death in 1729.

"The art and science of strategic decision making" is the focus of London Business School's Decision Making for Leaders open program this July 2011. The program previously went by the name Strategic Decision Making, but was updated to ensure it is even more relevant to today's business leaders and adopted this new name too.
Designed for senior managers and taking place over two days, previous participants have included the Head of B2B Marketing and Financial Publishing at Financial Times, Catherine Jacklin. "The proof of the effectiveness of the program is how I'm handling myself and managing different projects," she says. "The program has helped me to spot bad decisions quicker. I can now confidently challenge poor decision making and help my team."
The teaching faculty includes Professor Zeger Degraeve, who is also the Dean of the Executive MBA at London Business School. Speaking about the program, Degraeve says that participant will gain "an in-depth knowledge of the psychology behind why [they] make certain decisions, uniquely combined with understanding how [they] should make decisions, enabling [them] to successfully lead [their] organization through stressful times."

UK Property Law
Ask an UK Property Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hello David,
Thank you for your question.
If you daughter's ex-boyfriend is on the registered legal title to the property and has been made bankrupt then his name will just simply be taken off the mortgage. A creditor may apply to the Court for a charging order over the property. This will then entitle them to apply to the Court for an Order for sale of the property. Your daughter will be able to make representations at those hearings.
The official receiver/trustee in bankruptcy dealing with the boyfriend's case will probably agree to the a postponement of any such application until the end of his first year of bankruptcy in order for alternative housing. Indeed, the creditors may prefer to wait until the property has recovered some equity and there is more to get back. Note though that it is only the boyfriend's share in the equity that is at risk. Your daughter's interest will remain hers, if sold she will receive her share of the proceeds of sale.
She should engage with the official received/trustee in bankruptcy to make sure they are aware of her position. They will listen and she will at least know where she stands with respect to any application to sell the property and will remain informed.
Finally, if your daughter and her ex-boyfriend presently hold their interest jointly (as joint tenants) then each persons share would pass to the other upon death regardless of any director made in the Will. If this is not what you want then you should sever the joint tenancy by using Form SEV from the Land Registry (you will have to send it to them and if you have any questions about completing the form you should call their customer service number - they are very helpful):-http://www1.landregistry.gov.uk/publications/?pubtype=49
Their interests would then pass according to their wills or under the intestacy rules. The boyfriend need not sign the form provided you follow the instructions.
If this has been useful please kindly click accept so that I may be rewarded for my time. It will be gratefully received and you will be free to ask follow up questions.Kind regards,Tom

I have a specialized sequoia comp, about 21 pounds, before I add the
(full) seatbag and bento box.
I like the more upright position ( 71 years old ), about 2-3 miles in the
drops gets old pretty fast.
There are hills in every direction and I would like something that would
help me get up the hills in a quicker easier fashion...
So, what are some choices ( CF, Ti...) of a lighter bike with a sequoia style
geometry ( ie handle bar tops almost even with seat top) that would not
break the bank ( ~2500.00).
I realize that at 205~209 pounds that I will never be a hill slayer. Unfortunately
my metabolism died a couple of years ago and it is unlikely that I will ever
be under 200 pounds.
I target three rides a week from 20-28 miles with about 500~1000 feet of elevation
gain. My body demands a day off after a ride. I have been riding since Nov 2008.
Here is a profile of todays ride:

Tonight I picked up 2 bikes for $25 each from my next door neighbor's garage sale.
The first is a Japanese 70's bike boom knock-off called a Campania Sport. Nice name. I wonder what name they were going for? It is kind of like my Korean Rolex; heavy, but in good shape and functional. My 14 year old will lug it up and down the hills of NW MO.
The second is a Raleigh Aluminum Technium 440 in great shape. It looks like it will be a nice upgrade from my old Schwinn Woodlands MTB.
Happiness is a good cheap bike. Anyone have any advice on either of these models?
I should tell you that a suggestion to send them to the metal recycling plant is not welcome.

Workers employed at small firms are substantially less likely to be offered health insurance than those at larger firms. Policymakers and researchers have long sought ways to increase access to employer insurance for workers at small firms but with little success. Most policy proposals and reforms—for example, the small group insurance reforms enacted by many states in the 1990s—have been directed specifically toward health insurance and based on the assumption that the firm-size "offer gap" in health insurance is caused by problems unique to such insurance. Yet there may be an even more fundamental issue. At small firms wages are lower and workers are less likely than those at large firms to be offered retirement plans, paid sick leave, paid vacations, paid holidays, and life insurance. In fact, they are less likely to be offered every benefit on the extensive list of benefits on which the National Compensation Survey collects data except year-end or holiday bonuses (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2006). Therefore, it is important to consider health insurance in the broader context of benefits offered by small firms.
In this paper, we provide that context. We show how employer size affects the provision of several components of compensation—health insurance, retirement plan, and paid vacation. This analysis demonstrates the extent to which health insurance access represents a unique challenge for workers at small firms and to what extent it is part of more general compensation issues. We compare health insurance with these other two benefits to help identify what drives the disparities in health insurance by firm size.
There are three commonly cited explanations for variations in the provision of benefits according to firm size. First, if the per-worker administrative costs of a benefit decrease with firm size, larger firms will be more likely to provide that benefit. Second, if benefits are demanded relatively elastically and if workers in smaller firms tend to receive lower total compensation, those workers will prefer a smaller share of that compensation in the form of benefits. Third, smaller firms might be more susceptible to failures in insurance markets. For example, concerns about adverse selection might result in especially costly insurance premiums for the group. Small firms might be less likely to provide health insurance for any one of these reasons.
We find evidence that differences in offer rates for the three benefits persist even when we control for wages and household income, and that the gap between offer rates at smaller and larger firms is at least as large for retirement plans as for health insurance. We also find gaps—though somewhat smaller—in the offer rates of paid vacations between workers at smaller and larger firms. These findings, taken together, suggest that of the three aforementioned reasons, per capita administrative costs may be a significant driver of the disparities in offer rates across firm size, though it is also possible that workers in smaller firms differ from those in larger firms in their preferences for receiving compensation in the form of benefits. We argue that incremental reforms targeted at reducing administrative costs should be explored as a potentially effective strategy for improving small-firm workers' access to health insurance. In our conclusion, we discuss current policy proposals—such as Association Health Plans or plans that allow small private-sector firms to buy in to the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program—and the likelihood that such plans could reduce administrative costs.

Reliance Power may approach the electricity regulator seeking a higher tariff for its proposed ultra mega power project at Tilaiya due to an increase in raw material costs.
The company is expected to file a petition with the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) this week, seeking an upward revision in the power tariff, a source privy to the development told PTI, adding that the reason may be the increase in input costs.
When contacted, a Reliance Power spokesperson declined to comment.
Reliance Power won the bid for the 4,000 MW, coal-based ultra mega power project (UMPP) at Tilaiya in Jharkhand in January 2009, quoting a tariff of Rs 1.77 a unit. This would be the second project for which it has sought a price revision.
The company has already filed four petitions with the CERC, seeking relief for the Sasan UMPP in Madhya Pradesh due to a rise in construction costs and depreciation in the rupee.
Power Finance Corporation, the nodal agency for UMPPs, has awarded four such projects. Reliance Power has bagged three - Krishnapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, Tilaiya and Sasan. Tata Power has set up a 4,000 MW plant at Mundra in Gujarat.
A UMPP is a power plant with a generation capacity of about 4,000 MW.

Hannah & Anthony's wedding is starting to gain some major notice and I'm really happy Magnolia Photo Booth Co. could be part of their big day. I actually met Hannah the day after the wedding when they were disassembling all the goodies from the reception. (the ceremony/reception site was the Green Building, which is right next door to the Magbooth office) She stopped by our office and after chatting with her a few moments about antiques, the wedding, and growing up in a small town I knew we were kindred spirits and we would be friends. Everything about their wedding was thought out, personal, and well executed that I can't pick just one favorite thing. But I do love the homemade broach bouquet, her hairpiece, the sparklers, and the wooden backdrop Anthony made out of wood from the family farm!
Hannah & Anthony
Their wedding has been featured on the blog Green Wedding Shoes and nFocus Magazine Louisville. You can also check out their amazing photos through Todd Pellowe Photography. I think it's safe to say these two can't take a bad photo, such a beautiful couple!

Is it normal for a newborn to spit up after every feeding?
My daughter will be a week old tomorrow and it seems that every time I breastfeed her she spits up afterward and then wants to eat again. I tried keeping her more upright and that didn't work and she seems to spit up less on my right side than my left. It worries me b/c I don't see how she is getting all that she needs. Plus after I've spent 30 minutes feeding her and she spits up its like I have to start all over again. She is gaining weight but I'm still worried. Anyone have any suggestions?

Yea it doesn't shoot out but it's normally a pretty good bit of spit up. Thanks!posted 01/13/2011 by livn4mypnut
hmm... it sounds like pyloric stenosis but it is uncommon in females.. PLUS with pyloric stenosis the baby projects vomit soon after eating and doesn't gain weight. If it is just spit up, then I suggest feeding her smaller amounts more times a day. However, if she is projecting (shoots about 1ft in front of her) then you will want to get her checked for GURD.posted 01/13/2011 by Emkaed

You want some blasphemy? Don't bother with that certain fantasy movie with that skinny lacquered redhead in it. Despite all the public outcry over that particular blockbuster's pro-Reformation message (isn't it risky for our cinema to endorse the policies of the heretic Martin Luther?), the Compass movie really doesn't give God much trouble for your entertainment buck. By contrast, The World's Greatest Sinner, a backyard-shot indie has a real beef with the Almighty. (Don't worry, kids, the Rock of Ages is tough enough to handle it!) As director, writer, producer, chief cook and bottle washer, eccentric character actor Timothy Carey shows the instincts of a French decadent. His Clarence Hilliard is a Southland Baudelaire who rails against the existence of God, and sets himself up as a false messiah. The hand-rubbed Letraset titles in the graphic above indicate the budget level of this berserk film. Much of it takes place in an early 1960s San Gabriel Valley a.k.a "The Inland Empire," so innocent and blue-horizoned that David Lynch would have refused to believe it.
Hilliard is an insurance salesman with a ranch house, a loving wife, three kids and a horse. King the horsey gets some fine closeups and on-camera nuzzling. Carey correctly supposed that the audience would make some leeway in their hearts for a sinner who loved his pony. One boring day at work, Hilliard has a moment of clarity; people buy insurance as a denial of their mortality. Their fear of death is all that keeps them alive. So he lets all his salesmen have the day off, and is promptly fired by his boss.
Satan, in the form of a talking snake--voiced by the King of Narrators, Paul Frees--could have predicted it all. Hilliard is his greatest sales-prospect since Adam. Hilliard decides to start a new religion, with himself as messiah. His first convert is Alsono the gardener (Gil Baretto), and then he secures further financing by seducing a wealthy old lady. The newly-renamed "God" Hilliard gets a Tijuana souvenir guitar and lets his hair loose like Jerry Lee Lewis.
After an on-stage performance at a seaside nightclub, in a gold lame suit and fake goatee, "God" triggers a dangerous car-smashing riot by the sailors and teenagers. Apparently the organizer of this sequence was Long Beach's own Ray Dennis Steckler (Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up Zombies). Incidentally, the one and only Dave Kehr also claims that Edgar G. Ulmer was also one of the hands on The World's Greatest Sinner, which was filmed over the course of several years.
"God''s followers are so many that they have to wear special "F" (for follower) armbands. Reporters investigate this self-declared messiah, touching on the historical presidents of Father Divine and Sweet Daddy Grace. Those disciples who fail Hilliard's schemes are given a pistol and ordered to do the honorable thing. ("SUICIDE OVER SELF-STYLED GOD" trumpets the headlines.) Hilliard becomes so popular that he's tapped to run for president for the new Eternal Man's Party...though his apparent atheism is a handicap.
This folk-art film has the same cousinly relationship to Elia Kazan's A Face in the Crowd as the similar folk-art masterpiece Plan 9 From Outer Space has to The Day The Earth Stood Still. The drawling, heavy-lidded, physically squidgy Carey --a cross between Dwight Frye and Lenny Bruce-- was unique as an actor as he was a director. Here is irreplaceable LA backwater mise-en-scene, and amateur actors who give performances you couldn't buy for real money.
And this film has one real technical triumph: a genuinely fine soundtrack by Carey's fellow tormented Catholic, Mr. Francis Xavier Zappa. Zappa was in his early 20s when he wrote this score. The orchestration is so top-drawer that it's clear in a parallel universe, Zappa could have become a celebrated soundtrack composer. Most who see WGS justly remember the catchy rock and roll theme: "He's the world's greatest sinner! As a sinner, he's a winner!". Zappa's love of Varese style dissonance helps give this film mood and stature.
A Zappa fan site has a fine account of Carey's many monkeyshines. In a film industry where the average actor watched their etiquette or didn't work, Carey's impromptu beer-tossing and ad-libbed dialog got him physically attacked by his co-stars. Stanley Kubrick loved Carey like the Coen Brothers love John Turturro -- Turturro is really Carey's only successor. Some of Carey's finest moments as an actor are in Kubrick's Paths of Glory and The Killing.
Before his death in 1994, Carey entertained Crispin Glover-worthy ideas for performances. One included a proposed film to be watched once. The only existing print would be shredded during exhibition, with mangled celluloid souvenirs to be handed out to the audience. In the Church of the Fart Joke, Carey would have been God. Carey sought to make a stage play about Le Petomane, the turn of the century French cabaret "fartiste" who could play "La Marseillaise" with his own unique instrument.
Fortunately, a trio of film scholars, including the San Fernando Valley's Johnny Legend interviewed Carey before he left us. Here's numerous other interviews with Carey. I'm happy to hear that Carey's son Romeo is doing his part to keep his father's memory green. Certainly, if we can take anything away from The World's Greatest Sinner it's that family is everything. Hilliard's long-suffering wife and kids leaves him after too much blasphemy. After one final and (to anyone but us Catholics) ridiculous act of God denial, "God" Hilliard is shown the error of his ways. Except for Carey's copious adulterous kissing scenes --female guest stars in this movie needed to be warned, they were going to be kissed and kissed hard!-- there's nothing in The World's Greatest Sinner to which an enlightened priest could object.
In fact, His Truth Is Marching On by the end of the film. Watching this film's shocking red-tinted finale was one of those indescribably happy moments where environment and film synced up. Right as Hilliard paid the price for his God-mocking, there was a boom of thunder outside of my window. We never get those kinds of storms in my part of Northern California. Could it be...?

A former financial officer for Pearl Jam's management company was sentenced on Friday to 14 months in prison for embezzling more than $300,000 over three years.
In meting out a sentence at the high end of the standard sentence range for first-degree theft, Superior Court Judge Roger Rogoff said, "There is nothing more devastating to an organization than someone who takes money from the inside."
The attorney for Rickey Goodrich, 55, of Novato, Calif., unsuccessfully argued that as a first-time offender his client deserved probation.
The judge agreed, however, to allow Goodrich to remain out of custody for two weeks so that he could get his financial affairs in order. Rogoff said he did that so Goodrich would be in the best position possible to pay restitution to the victims.

In two weeks, Goodrich will again face Rogoff for the formal sentencing.
Goodrich, who had originally been charged with 33 counts of theft, pleaded guilty in December to six counts of first-degree theft for using company accounts to pay personal debts and fund lavish family vacations, spa treatments, life insurance and pricey California wines, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. Prosecutors said he had paid back $125,000 when he pleaded guilty.
Goodrich was hired by Pearl Jam Touring Co. in 2005, according to court records.
The following year, he was named chief financial officer for Curtis Inc., the management company owned by the band's manager, Kelly Curtis, court papers say.
Over the next few years, Goodrich used funds from Curtis Inc. to repeatedly make payments on his wife's American Express account and to pay for credit-card charges he racked up at wineries, hotels and spas, charging documents said. He also used the company credit card on Amazon.com, iTunes, hotels and restaurants, and to purchase airplane tickets for himself and family members, according to charging papers.
He was removed from his position as tour accountant in 2009 for a series of financial discrepancies, court documents say.
There were no further financial problems until 2010 when Goodrich filled in for the band's regular tour accountant, the papers say.
New problems quickly arose, including a missing $15,000 payment in "road cash" that Goodrich first claimed was split among the five members of Pearl Jam, according to charging documents. When the band's lead guitarist said he never received the money, Goodrich claimed the $15,000 had actually been used to pay for crew bonuses — which crew members also disputed receiving, charging papers say.
Goodrich was confronted about the financial discrepancies after that May 2010 tour, and he repaid the band $45,000 for so-called loans he paid to himself by forging Curtis' signature, the papers say.
Goodrich was fired in September 2010.
After the band initiated its own financial audit, Seattle police launched a criminal investigation in January 2011 and Goodrich was charged with the thefts in 2012.
At the hearing on Friday, Goodrich said he thought the money he took was a loan from Curtis and said he was sorry for the "misunderstanding."

planning to bring our bikes with us to visit Montreal at the end of August. Wonder what the regulations for bikes are. I googled and only found regulations for Toronot where bikes are treated as motor vehicles and bell/horn is mandatory.
I wonder if Quebec province (Montreal in particular) has similar laws and where to get a complete list. I don't have a bell/horn right now (not required in Massachusetts), I'd better get one before my visit if that's required.
Looking forward to advices

Should I get rid of my cat before my baby's born?
I've had my cat, Scooter, for eight years. Now that I'm expecting, I'm worried that I'll have to get rid of him. He's de-clawed so I'm not afraid he'll scratch my baby. But will the hair he sheds be bad for her? Will he hiss at her, sit on her, or scare her?

I've heard my fill of the cats and babies malarky. I can not remember ever not having a cat in my life and neither can my mother. In the fifties, when my mother was a baby, they didn't understand as much about germs or safety as we do now, so I'm sure that if cats were bad, my mom wouldn't be here. My son is 1 1/2 and has been raised with two cats (and three dogs all over 70 ibs). He wasn't touched until he was over one and he yanked Pappy's fuzz. Even then, it wasn't even a scratch, just a poke on the hand. My son learned not to yank his fuzz! They have never tried to attack him. They just run away if he scares them. All the furry kids have been wonderful. Nobody ever tried to sleep in the crib with him and they still don't even with it unoccupied (waiting on number 2 in April). They know they aren't allowed. Most of the fear of cat's and babies is an old wive's tale stemming from the era of "witches". Cat's don't care as long as you still love them too.posted 02/12/2005 by Alien8
We have five cats. While pregnant my husband scooped the litter, but we did not give a second thought to how the 5 cats would react to our new baby. When we brought our son home, the first thing he did was scream loudly, and all five cats scattered like the wind. In my experience (I have always had a minimum of 3 cats) cats tend to stay away from things that make a lot of noise, or have the potential to make a lot of noise. Jumping in the crib once the baby came home-never happened. Now that the baby is 7 months, he is able to grasp and pinch. The cats also understand this, and have not gotten any closer!posted 01/09/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I disagree...having a pet is a lifetime committment and you should not just put your pet out before you even know if allergies will be a problem....Hello, are you going to put your child out when her or she is 13 and acting up? Keeping your child safe is the main thing...that doesn't mean banning pets from the home, it means supervision and proper planning. Closing the door to the babies room is the solution not tossing the cat outside.posted 10/02/2006 by Tonya62371
if that is your decision, that is your decision... personally to me, my cats are more than 'just animals'... i dont understand how there isnt room for them anymore... but neither here nor there...not my decision to make... but i did want to offer for the person asking... alot of pets get along fine with babies... some with no help, some with a little behavior training, some not at all.. it really depends on the pets personality.. we had 2 cats when my daughter was born and Sam never wentt near the kids room or the kid, he just basically tolerated her well and understood this was 'our kitten' so to speak...all he would do is glare at us when she cried... my cat, Myranda, didnt do so well, she got more and more agressive the older our daughter got and i had to give her to a childfree home after many months (ie-12 months) of attempts at training, drugs, seperation between the two of them (baby and cat) and even hiring a sitter so i could spend more time with just her, but to no avail... she just could/would not accept a child in the house... as far as cats 'stealing the breath from a child' thing... basically the cat doesnt know that curling up to a warm child with cozy blankets in a draft free space is a bad thing, so basically you would want to keep them away until the baby is old enough to turn over on their own... i think 6 months is okay... its just if they snuggle too close the baby would need to be able to turn their head out of the furry kitty... a tip i have seen work well for training cats to stay out of cribs though is to fill the crib full of balloons before kid is born... only takes a time or two of them jumping in, popping a couple and having the heck scared out of them before 'that cozy little bed' just doesnt look as appealingposted 12/26/2004 by MaryGaige
I recently read that studies now show that babies raised in a household with 2 or more pets are less likely to have asthma and pet allergies. We have 3 cats. I was worried about them bugging the baby in her room so we installed a screen door on the babies room. It retracts into a cylinder at the side of the door so we can also have a normal door on her room. It works great. The cats and the baby get along as long as she doesn't pinch so we've been teaching her to be gentle since she took an interest in them.posted 08/27/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I would consult your cat's vet. He/She can give you suggestions for possibly preparing the cat for the sounds and smells of a baby. I don't think babies are automatically allergic to cats, but certainly, you could begin training the cat to avoid places where the baby will be (nursery, crib) and prepare to do a little extra cleaning, especially when your child starts playing on the floor, and crawling. Asking a vet who has great expertise will certainly help. My vote is to keep Scooter! ;.)posted 08/29/2007 by Sescola111
We are due in a few weeks and my MIL thinks we need to get rid of the cat (my husband has had her for 7 years) because she says the cat will smother or claw at the baby. When we told her we were NOT going to give the cat away, she got us a Crib tent at the baby shower. (Big hint there). Anyways, the crib tent is huge, awkward and overall very ugly and I don't really want to use it at all. What has really helped is putting tin foil in the crib and the cat for some reason doesn't like the sound and feel of the foil. It works!posted 02/23/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I agree with everyone being said! We have had 2 cats for 5 years now. Last week a tiny stray kitten showed up on our doorstep - starving and dying for attention. My husband and I couldn't just close the door. We have welcomed him into our home and just adore him already. However, I have already heard the warnings from all my relatives about smothering and scratching and all sorts of wive's tales. I am quite sick of it! I am only 15 weeks pregnant and I am confident everything will be fine when the baby comes. Our cats are well-behaved and well-disciplined. We are responsible, intelligent people and I just think it's ridiculous that people expect us to get rid of our animals!posted 10/17/2006 by DianeCatherine
I've lived with cat's since I was an infant and it's been my experience that cat's avoid small children. The cat's not going to atack or scare the baby in fact growing up with a pet may foster a life long love of animals in your child (how's that bad). As to hair you may need to vacum the areas the baby will be in more often but hey that'll help discourage the cat from hanging out there.posted 09/20/2007 by Vladibunny
To keep the cats out of the crib, we lined it with aluminium foil when we first got it (before our daughter was born). I don't know if it's the sound or the feel of it that makes them upset, but after a few times landing on it, they stopped trying to climb into the crib, and by the time Lauren arrived they had no interest.posted 02/06/2006 by a BabyCenter Member

Second man caught in connection with Spanish Trace shooting
Published: Thursday, June 19, 2014 at 10:32 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, June 19, 2014 at 9:55 p.m.
A second man allegedly involved in Wednesday afternoon's shooting at the Spanish Trace apartment complex that left two people injured and the suspected shooter dead with a gun beside him was apprehended Thursday night at UF Health Shands Hospital.
The Gainesville Police Department said Gerald Arthur Hall, 43, will be charged with four counts of armed kidnapping and two counts of attempted murder.
GPD spokesman officer Ben Tobias said in a press release that police got a tip that Hall was in the emergency room area at Shands. Multiple officers responded, contacted Hall and arrested him. Tobias said Hall's reason for being at the hospital is under investigation.
On Wednesday, a fight between neighbors turned deadly when Lorenzo Fitzpatrick, 48, allegedly shot Desiree A. Reyes, 21, in the arm and Bruce Cheeves, 24, in the chest, police reported.
Reyes and Cheeves both suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Officials later entered the apartment where the shooting happened and found Fitzpatrick dead on the floor with a gunshot wound, thought to be self-inflicted.
Police said they learned later that Hall and Fitzpatrick had an ongoing noise dispute with Reyes and Cheeves, who lived in Apartment 11 with their two children. Hall and Fitzpatrick had been drinking all day Wednesday before they forcibly entered Apartment 11 and held the family at gunpoint for about an hour, threatening to kill all of them, Tobias said.
Tobias said Fitzpatrick asked Hall to get more beer, and after he left, Fitzpatrick allegedly shot Reyes and Cheeves. Detectives said they believe Fitzpatrick was going to chase the victims after they ran out of the apartment but saw a GPD officer and went back into the apartment.
