History of the Current Certified Tree Expert Program
In 1940, the State authorized the creation of the NJ Board of Tree Experts to develop a professional examination for individuals with arboriculture knowledge and background. The Board has been awarding the Certified Tree Expert (CTE) credential since that time and it is the only credential recognized by the State for those individuals working in the tree care industry. This certification is voluntary, not mandatory and the Board has found that those individuals that take and pass the test are among the most knowledgeable and ethical arborists in the state. Because of the qualifications and integrity of Certified Tree Experts, it is unlawful to promote or advertise yourself as being certified if you do not hold the CTE credential. Violators can be fined $1,000 for each infraction.

Jack Black pays for school kids to go to DisneylandJack Black donated $10,000 so a school band could perform at Disneyland.
The high school and middle school musicians from Tonasket, Washington, won a competition to play in the famous Magic Kingdom parade - which features all the best known Disney characters, including Mickey Mouse - at the Los Angeles theme park but were told they had to pay for their own travel expenses.
A fundraising initiative was started by the local community to get together the cash to send them, and when Jack's mother Judith found out about their situation she contacted her famous son who quickly decided he wanted to help.
The actor - who put together his own band in the comedy movie 'School of Rock' - then handed over the huge sum to make the trip possible.
According to website TMZ, the band arrived in Los Angeles on Thursday (11.03.11), following a two-day coach trip, and will take their spot in the parade today (11.03.11).
Afterwards, generous Jack - who is married to cellist Tanya Haden, with whom he has two sons, Samuel, four, and two-year-old Thomas - is taking the kids for an all-expenses paid dinner.

Digital design trends move fast – what's current one day can be dated the next. With the rapid consumer adoption of mobile devices, the wider range of screen sizes and enhanced functionality, we're arguably seeing the most profound changes in design since the dawn of digital media.
Debate continues over the best way to approach design in the age of mobile. Should sites be less text heavy and more visually orientated? How can HTML5 be used creatively? What can we do to balance visual impact with a positive user experience? And are the days of paginated websites numbered, as designers opt to load additional content and feeds on the current web page?
In this session we will hear from designers working at the cutting edge of digital media, showcasing what can be done, what should be done, and indeed what shouldn't be done if you want your work to remain relevant.
Who should come
Senior management, editors, developers, designers, marketers, and any agency staff with an interest in mobile and desktop web development.

Geronzi not the right man for Generali
Widen the net
The Italian chairman of Mediobanca is the favourite to become chairman of Europe's thirdlargest insurer. But Geronzi's controversial past should rule him out of contention. While Generali needs a firmer hand at the helm, it would benefit from a more outwardlooking candidate.

Grey's Anatomy
President Obama Going to Shonda Rhimes's House For Fundraiser
Have thousands of dollars in expendable income? Then you too can wine and dine with Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes and President Barack Obama next month!
The Hollywood Reporter announces that Shonda will host the Commander in Chief at her Los Angeles house on July 23 in a fundraiser for the Democratic National Convention. She may not have Meredith and Derek's McDreamhouse, but we're sure the 44-year-old's casa is muy buena.
And Shonda won't be the only Hollywood talent present. Her Scandal darling Kerry Washington will be on the host committee — there's a host committee? — and the event will feature a musical act. Ahem, Sara Ramirez, submit your application now.
Tickets start at $1,000, but those who cough up $32,400 will get access to the President's photo line — and will enjoy an exclusive dinner with him (and about 30 others).
This isn't the first time Shonda has had dealings with the leader of the free world. President Obama appointed her to the Board of the Trustees for the Kennedy Center For the Performing Arts last year.
We're just wondering if Shonda will ask him about appointing Derek to his brain-mapping initiative. Wait — wrong president?

As I said, right now just with the NAT, if I send a DNS request for the google.com from the client 10.0.0.1 behind the nasty dropping box, it will go out through the nasty dropping box and the NAT gateway. NAT will change its 10.x.x.x source and destination from 10.x.x.x to some outside addresses e.g. 150.x.x.x. The DNS answer comes back to NAT, it's source and destination gets translated back to 10.x.x.x and 10.0.0.1 destination, and the google address 188.8.131.52 is within the *data* part. This goes fine through the nasty dropping box back to the client 10.0.0.1. Client then takes the answer from the data part of the message, which is 188.8.131.52 and tries to contact it. It sends an HTTP message to destination 18.104.22.168. This gets dropped on the nasty dropping box since it is not 10.x.x.x (This is what's happening when you type in www.google.com in the browser on the client 10.0.0.1). So the DNS request and answer can get through the internal network, but what I need is to somehow replace the 220.127.116.11 that is embedded in the DNS *data* with 10.z.z.z. Also my NAT needs to know that 10.z.z.z is actually 126.96.36.199. to be able to translate it for outside.

Since we are just getting into summer mode, you might not have back to school shopping on your mind just yet. But you should because my favorite pants for girls and boys are on sale right now with prices as low as $12.99!
Land's End Iron Knee pants have lasted longer than any other pants or jeans on my 4 year old. He is actually growing out of them instead of rendering them useless and full of holes. Kids are rough on their clothes, so their clothes should be able to take it.
The Iron Knee pants won a Good Housekeeping VIP Award this year for good reason. With the sale, it's the perfect time to stock up for Fall.
Check out this short video and see what you think.

Year Up Bay Area Launches Silicon Valley Campus to Help Meet Demand for Skilled IT Talent
Press Conference and Launch Party in San Jose on March 12
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) February 28, 2013
Responding to top technology executives' struggles to find qualified entry-level talent, Year Up Bay Area is launching a second campus in Silicon Valley to provide local young adults with the technical and professional skills that companies are seeking.
"We've heard from LinkedIn, eBay, Facebook and numerous others that there aren't enough workers with the right skills. The talent shortage is limiting growth and making U.S. companies less competitive globally," said Jay Banfield, Founding Executive Director of Year Up Bay Area. "Meanwhile, there are nearly 18,000 young adults in Santa Clara County who aren't currently working or in school. The new Silicon Valley campus will help bridge the gap by providing these young adults with the most sought-after skills, including critical problem solving, working in teams and communicating effectively."
"We are extremely proud of our partnership with Year Up. Graduates from their program are qualified, motivated and excellent team players, and they have been terrific assets to our company," said Meg Garlinghouse, Head of Social Impact for LinkedIn. "By expanding into Silicon Valley, Year Up Bay Area is helping LinkedIn and other companies in the area gain access to valuable talent."
LinkedIn, Facebook, JPMorgan Chase, NetApp and eBay are the founding corporate partners of the Silicon Valley campus, and will take on Year Up Bay Area students as interns during the second half of the yearlong program. JPMorgan Chase and Tipping Point Community were the founding donors.
As part of the launch, Year Up Bay Area is holding a press conference and party on March 12 at the Silicon Valley campus, located at 100 West Fernando Street in San Jose. The theme of the party is "Advancing the Culture of Innovation," and celebrates Year Up's role at the intersection of corporate America, philanthropy and education. Top Silicon Valley executives, including Facebook CIO Tim Campos, will attend, as will the first cohort of students, who began classes on March 4, and Year Up Bay Area alumni.
One such alumnus, Jay Hammonds, graduated from Year Up Bay Area in 2012. He once hoped to become a grocery bagger at Safeway. Now, he is providing IT support to Facebook's executive team, including Sheryl Sandberg and Mark Zuckerberg. Jay and hundreds of other young adults have launched their tech careers through Year Up Bay Area, which provides students with a cutting-edge curriculum. This past year, students at the San Francisco campus had the opportunity to take advantage of a Mozilla Networking elective, an Agile project management class and a seminar with Zynga's IT/Quality Assurance team.
Lauded by Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton for its proven, scalable model, Year Up is a national nonprofit organization that provides urban young adults with an intensive, yearlong training program and career-focused education in growing professional industries. Year Up helps young people not enrolled in school or participating in the labor market cross the Opportunity Divide to access living-wage employment and higher education. In turn, companies gain access to a pipeline of high-quality entry-level talent.
Year Up Bay Area, one of ten Year Up sites across the country, was launched in San Francisco in 2008. The program provides local young adults, ages 18-24, with technical, professional and communication skills including: desktop and network support; software installation; business writing; time management; and working in teams. Students at the Silicon Valley campus will earn up to fourteen college credits from Foothill College for completing their coursework during the first six months of the program. The next six months consist of an internship at a corporate partner firm such as Facebook, LinkedIn, JPMorgan Chase, NetApp and eBay. Eighty-eight percent of Year Up Bay Area alumni are employed or in school full-time within four months of graduation, earning an average hourly wage of $16.38, or approximately $30,000 a year. Learn more about Year Up Bay Area by following us on Twitter @YearUpBayArea and on Facebook.

Delaware River Bridge Commission hatches peregrine falcon chick on I-95 bridge - A RAMBLE
The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission (DRJTBC) say they've had a peregrine falcon produce a chick in a nest in the underneath steelwork of their I-95 Scudder Falls Bridge. Once a seriously endangered species peregrine falcons are still rare with only 24 known nesting pairs in Pennsylvania.
"This peregrine falcon nest is a first for the Bridge Commission and it is another manifestation of the Delaware River's environmental rebirth," said Frank G McCartney, the DRJTBC's executive director in an announcement.
"We are very excited about this. We are working closely with the Pennsylvania Game Commission to shield this peregrine falcon family from disturbances during the fledgling period."
The chick was first spotted in June when it was about two weeks old. It has been fitted with ID bands by Pennsylvania wildlife officials. (PHOTO CREDIT: pictures of the falcons should be credited to Pennsylvania Game Commission who supplied them to DRJTBC who supplied them to TOLLROADSnews)
To safeguard the falcons whike they rear the chick the Bridge Commission will issue an operations order to staff liable to work near the bridge. And it will provide a training session so bridge employees understand the birds and can work around them.
Falcons are not to be messed with when they have a chick. The adult falcons can fiercely attack any creature coming within about 100 yards of their nest.
The DRJTBC chick is making short fluttering flights but it isn't yet much of a flyer, officials say.
Canadian heritage
These birds don't get much privacy afforded to their sex lives. Bird biologists have tracked the female that just produced the chick at Scudder Falls PA/NJ to a mating several years back in Hamilton Ontario, according to DRJTBC officials.
That's at the far western end of the 407ETR tollroad, we note.
Maybe she has a thing for the hospitality of tollers?
The Ohio Turnpike recently reported eagles nesting in one of their major bridges.
Scudder Falls Bridge
The DRJTBC I-95 Scudder Falls Bridge is called a "toll-supported bridge" in that it is an untolled bridge maintained by the revenues of tolled bridges of the DRJTBC. But you can't blame the falcons for not caring much for that subtle distinction.
The bridge carries an average 60k veh/day and the 2+2 lane stretch of the highway in the vicinity is heavily congested in peak hours because of the NJ29 interchange close by on the east bank, and inadequate merge/demerge lanes.
Projections suggest that traffic will grow 35% to 80k veh/day by 2030.
The existing bridge is a 4 lane steel plate girder bridge 530m (1740ft) in total length - longest span is 55m (180ft) - which opened in 1961. With an 18.3m (60ft) deck it has minimal shoulders/offsets from the parapets and divider.
DRJTBC plans to demolish the existing bridge and replace it with a bridge providing 3+3 travel lanes and three auxiliary lanes for NJ29 connections for a total of 9 travel lanes plus four full breakdown shoulders and a pedestrian/bicycle path. Hopefully this will be toll-financed with all-electronic tolling.
The larger bridge will, we presume, provide greatly enhanced bird nesting habitat!
This highway is presently a stub end of I-95 with no present prospect of being continued on its originally intended path to northern New Jersey and is due to be given a new route designation when - finally - an interchange is built between the Pennsylvania Turnpike and I-95 where they cross in the Bristol area in to the south. Then the Penn Pike east and the Pearl Harbor Memorial Extension of the NJ Turnpike and the NJ Turnpike north will get the I-95 designation.
The I-95 stub and its Scudder Falls Bridge serves mainly as a belt route around the Trenton/Morrisville area and an alternate to US1.
see on future bridge http://scudderfallsbridge.com/preferred.htm
Hamilton area bridges
Actually in the Hamilton Ontario area the major bridge for bird nesting would be not 407ETR but an ex-toll bridge, the Burlington Bay Skyway Bridge on the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW). A through-arch steel truss bridge (Sydney Harbor Bridge coathanger style) it crosses the entrance to the port of Hamilton and is part of the heavily trafficked route between Buffalo/Niagara NY and Toronto.
Opening as a toll bridge in 1958 the Skyway Bridge was sadly de-tolled at the end of 1973 after only 15 years of toll collection.

By radio detection and ranging Staff
The prime suspect in Robyn Gardner's disappearance in Aruba calmly told police that he thought she was dead within hours of her vanishing, radio detection and rangingOnline.com has learned.
Gary Giordano, who was traveling with the 35-year-old Maryland woman when she went missing on August 2, appeared drunk as he looked at his watch and told authorities, "She might be dead now," during the initial hours of the search, reported ABCNews.com.
Heavy drinking was a reoccurring theme for the couple during their trip, according to reports, and the last place Robyn was seen alive with the 50-year-old, also from Maryland, was at the Rum Reef Bar & Grill in the Baby Beach area of Aruba.
PHOTOS: Richard Forester And Robyn Gardner
Local fisherman Sergio Silver told ABC that Giordano was so drunk when he reported that Robyn was missing to the police that they had to wait before taking an official statement from him, even though Gary claimed they didn't buy any drinks while at the restaurant.
"One of the police guys told us that he was so drunk that we got to wait, we can't talk to him now," said Silva.
PHOTOS: Celebrities Who Died In Bizarre Circumstances
A paper trail from before Gardner and Giordano had even left the U.S. proves that they were clearly planning to heavily party on vacation.
ABC has obtained receipts showing the pair bought four Bloody Marys at 9 a.m. at the Orlando Airport on their way to the island, and then purchased a liter of Ciroq vodka after they checked into their room at the Marriott Hotel in Aruba.
PHOTOS: Most Notorious American Murder Trials
"The receipts function as a timeline, which is very important to the investigators," former FBI investigator Brad Garrett told the news network.
Gardner's boyfriend, Richard Forester, confirmed that Robyn liked to have a few cocktails in the afternoon, especially while on holiday.
PHOTOS: Celebs Involved In Murder
"She was reported missing between 6 and 6.30 p.m., she would have had a cocktail by then just like anyone on vacation," he told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview, when explaining why he didn't believe that she would have gone snorkeling at that time.
A witness at the Aruban eatery where Gardner was last spotted said she seemed woozy, was drinking and barely ate her salad, while a restaurant worker told ABC News that he thought it was odd that she would be going snorkeling, as Giordano claimed, because she was glammed up with perfect hair and make-up.
EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: Joran Van Der Sloot's Bloody Clothing
Giordano has been jailed as the lone suspect in Gardner's disappearance, although he has not been charged with a crime and no body has been found.
He could be released on Tuesday unless a judge orders otherwise and investigators are busy gathering enough evidence to keep him detained for a further 60 days and proceed to trial.

I'm what people call celebrity/entertainment photographer and I mainly shoot for Getty Images Entertainment. I specialize in anything from live music to studio portraits and behind the scenes of entertainment-related events. In the past few years I had the pleasure to work with, and photograph many people who inspire me like Billy Joel, President Barack Obama, Alicia Keys, Jimmy Fallon, Jay-Z and many others.
What else? My face has launched the bringing down of multiple governments around the world in the past few years. My self portrait has been the inspiration behind everything from revolutions, artists of all mediums, and even thieving clothing companies. As a result, my Stolen Scream became a copyright case study for the photographers or law students around the world.
My photograph of the 9/11 10th anniversary Tribute in Light won both LIFE and Vanity Fair Photos Of The Year 2011 and the photos of the 12th anniversary were chosen for photos of the year 2013 by Huffpost, Mashable and Getty Images. In the past few years my work appeared on publications such as CNN, Time Magazine, National Geographic, Rolling Stone Magazine, Forbes, BBC, MTV and Billboard.

A strong component to this mix lies within our state of the art spring system. We designed this system using heavy arched 8-9 gauge springs (also know as sinuous or zig-zag) made from a minimum of 65% recycled metal. Securing these to the front and back of the frame with lined metal clips, prevents the rub of metal on metal; this eliminating "squeakage". Paper-coated cross wires fare then bound from side to side, allowing for even weight absorbtion. We space our springs a comfortable 3" apart; with double rows at each end for extra support in the corners; where most of us gravitate (especially our canine counterparts). Why did we decide against using eight-way hand-tied springs? Simply, they're not better. We discovered they don't offer a more comfortable sit, they aren't current in regard to technology and fresh design, and they aren't easier to repair. They are, however, more costly. Therefore to achieve "the perfect mix", we have decided serpentine springs are a far better option. Do you still listen to tunes via an 8-track player? We didn't think so.
Frame construction is a vital key to lasting strength and durability. Depending on the frame style, we begin with either 5/4" solid, engineered or a solid/engineered wood combination of kiln-dried hardwoods (maple, ash and poplar). All wood we use is logged under strict regulation, and monitored closely to ensure preservation of our environment. For added solidity, our frames/joints are double-doweled, wood glued and high-pressure stapled with corner blocks screwed into place. This system allows for structural integrity unlike any other.
We feel cushioning is the true source of a seat's power to please. Our product development team is obsessed with creating the most luxe cushioning. From our Eco-Luxe cushions to our ultra plush Eco-Down Blend cushions: each befits the most discriminating of bottoms.
Extraordinary in sit, our ozone-friendly, non-carcinogenic seat cushions are composed of high density and high resiliency foam that contains a renewable soy-based biomaterial. Wrapped with an abundance of regenerated fibers, the foam core is then enveloped within down proof ticking, which replicates the sigh-inducing whoosh when seated.
This superlative sit is achieved by placing our eco-luxe cushion within a zippered all-cotton casing (channeled like a duvet) and stuffed with a generous ratio of allergen-free down & feathers. Working together, these smartly configured design elements introduce a sink-in experience of newfound depth and luxury.

The Adversity of Starting Over
"We all go from most knowledgeable to most ignorant several times in our lives."
~ Barbara Sher
If you've ever lost a job or changed careers, I'm sure you can relate to this.
A relationship ends or our children say or do something unexpected – that can leave us wondering if we overestimated how much we knew or overestimated how well we knew someone.
Many people stay in a dead-end job or dead-end relationship because the fear of starting over is more than they want to deal with.
But you can reprogram your thoughts and feelings.
Instead of fear, you can make starting over a new adventure. Something fun & exciting.
Think back to when you were a kid. Whether it was the first time riding a bike, catching a fish, or getting that basketball to go in the hoop. Remember how excited you felt?
I am a huge believer that life IS change. It is about continually being re-born & continually learning new things.
With that being the case, wouldn't you rather be excited about those changes than fearful of them?

We work with a lot of attachments, and I cannot figure out how to save multiple attachments to a directory at the same time in Zimbra (web version). Is there a zimlet out there that can help me wtih this?
Printable View
We work with a lot of attachments, and I cannot figure out how to save multiple attachments to a directory at the same time in Zimbra (web version). Is there a zimlet out there that can help me wtih this?
what version are u using? In 5.x.x (at least in 5.0.2) you can download all attachments in one zipfile thus into one dir? Maybe this helps..
I don't want to sound naive, but how can I tell which version I am using. The login screen simply state Zimbra Collaboration Suite. As it is the web based version, I am not seeing an About page, etc.
Type the following into the search bar and hit enter:
$set: get version
Thank you. We have version 4.5.7, and that sounds like it is my problem. I am guessing I probably need to contact my IT guy to find out why he installed an older version on the server and what would be involved with upgrading.
ok, that's an option 4 you then. Maybe have him install a test-version on a test-machine so you can check out whether the newest version meets your requirements. Don't know what kind of environment you're working in. (telling the 'it-guy' supporting 500 users to update his stable single server 5 versions because of an attachment-issue is not going to make his day..:0))
good luck!
I have received so many complaints about the multiple attachments, folks to do not want to leave thunderbird for the web client because it does not allow saving of multiple attachments and the zipped file made them complain to me more. Personally I do not mind, but they do not want to have to worry about zip files too. A typical day consists of 5 emails, throughout the day, with 10 attachments each. The just want to click, get prompted for a save location and down load all, is there such a zimlet?
Doing a zimlet that save the messages attachements is not impossible.
My zimlet that save files in alfresco (a document managing software) actually save the attachements. If you are motivated to do the zimlet you can try to use the code.
But I think you should teach your users how to handle zip files :p
It is common sense if you want to download multiple files to put them into one archive file, isn't it?
If they are a bunch of docs or spreadsheets and you need to open them, no.
I have taught them, but insist it is too much a hassle and like the way they are doing it...so I gave up.
I have no idea how to make a zimlet.
Since download of multiple attachments is handle in the recent versions of zimbra (but it make a zip file), doing a zimlet is possible but not really usefull.
For your user and the zip files :
-install 7-zip on their machines
and now the instructions they have to follow when they have a zip file (if they are on windows):
-right click on the file
-select 7-zip -> extract here
It is over. Not so difficult, no?
And if the expeditor send a zip file they will need to handle it anyway.

Indian Education system lacks modernization. It still follows the age-old technique of imparting education. The Indian education system puts emphasis on bookish knowledge rather than practical knowledge. Thus students lack in practical knowledge of the subjects. In the Indian education system, students only focuses at gaining marks by mugging up things and not on gaining knowledge. However, it is not the case with Foreign education. The foreign universities are flexible and the students can take up subjects of their own choice. This helps them to gain more knowledge as they study the subject of their interest. Moreover, foreign education system focuses on imparting practical knowledge rather than bookish knowledge and also provides employment opportunities to the students.
Which education system is better according to you?

A new study produced by a team of researchers from The Heartland Institute and Beacon Hill Institute finds taxes and fees imposed on cable TV and telephone subscribers are twice as high as the average sales tax on other products.
The average household pays approximately $250 a year in taxes and fees on cable TV and telephone services, and would save $126 a year if taxes and fees on communication services were no higher than retail sales taxes on other goods.
Taxes and fees also were found to vary considerably from state to state, from one communication service to another, and depending on the technology used to deliver otherwise- similar services.
"Consumers pay more than $37 billion a year in communication taxes and fees," said coauthor David Tuerck, executive director of the Beacon Hill Institute and professor and chairman of the Department of Economics at Suffolk University in Boston, Massachusetts.
"Many of these taxes and fees are hidden in phone and cable bills. Because they are so high, they distort consumer decisions and business investment decisions, costing billions more every year in lost consumer benefits," Tuerck said
The research team tracked down information on cable television, wireline and wireless telephone, and Internet access for 59 U.S. cities.
The study found:
- Taxes and fees imposed on cable TV and telephone subscribers are, on average, twice as high as taxes on other retail goods, 13.40 versus 6.61 percent.
- Taxes and fees on communication services nationally add up to $37 billion a year.
- Communication taxes and fees are highly regressive. Families in the lowest quintile of earnings pay 10 times as much as families in the highest quintile, as a percentage of their income.
- Taxes and fees vary dramatically from city to city, with consumers in some cities paying more than three times as much as consumers in other cities.
- In some cities, taxes and fees on wireline telephone service are even higher than taxes on beer and liquor.
- Economists estimate the value of services lost due to high taxes and fees on communication services add up to a "deadweight loss" to society of $11.4 billion a year.
The authors recommend that local governments reform cable franchise laws, and state and the national governments consider policies to preempt local franchising authority and to prohibit discriminatory taxation of communication services.
The study, titled "Taxes and Fees on Communication Services," was produced by a partnership of The Heartland Institute, a Chicago-based national think tank, and the Beacon Hill Institute at Suffolk University in Boston, Massachusetts. Complete data for each city can be found on the organization's Web sites at http://www.heartland.org and http://www.beaconhill.org.

Kaitlin Pillars rarely speaks, but her screams said it all when she first saw the room Rochester non-profit Suite Dreams and a team of MSU interior design students created for her.
Doris Pillar says, with tears in her eyes, "Words can express how we feel."
The project, researched and designed with Kaitlin in mind, makes her room more colorful, more interactive, and safer. It will be outfitted with a video monitor system to give her more independence and privacy from her parents.
Coordinator Erica Donnell says, "I see her clap, and I see her smile...I've been waiting for this for awhile...She's so special."

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
Hello I am a licensed attorney here to help you with your question, please review my response and do not hesitate to ask for clarification.
The original loan was listed in your bankruptcy and discharged?
The new lenders came after the discharge or during?
If you listed your original mortgage in your bankruptcy and it was discharged, your liability to the new lender is gone and they cannot sue you for a discharged balance.
the new lender owcen came after the discharge only becasue taylor bena went bankrupt
so if i walk away from Ocwen pretty good chance they can not come after me.
Yes, they cannot come after you, the loan they took over was discharged so they have no right to come after you.
thank you for your assistance. have a great day
Even if they claim otherwise, you could just reopen your bankruptcy and add their names as a creditor, but I do not see that as needed.
i do see taylor bean and ocwen both listed on my credit report and showing filed under bankruptcy with zero balance, so that is good news. thanks
Good luck, and their is no legal argument that they can make to make you liable.

I headed to Cinepolis, too, where I ran into the ebullient and gourmand Kosslick, fresh from visiting an outdoor market, and who was about to introduce Christian Petzold's "Barbara," which he assumed I was there to see. "No," I said, "I've already seen it. I think it's his best film!" (Conveniently forgetting I'd only seen a few, and was looking forward to seeing several more that were to be screened here as part of Petzold's tribute). "That's what I'm just about to say," Kosslick graciously replied.
I went into "The Hunt," which I managed to miss in both Telluride and Toronto, and I immediately run into Reygadas and his editor Natalia Lopez (who is so beautiful, and chic in Mayan-patterned leggings, that I assumed she was an actress). "You're going to catch 45 minutes before leaving for Kiorastami!," I say, and he agrees: "45 minutes will be a good introduction. It's more than enough for many films."
I don't even last 45. Which is not a comment on the movie: it's because it's shown in Danish, with Spanish subtitles, which presents certain difficulties, but the straw is that the woman seated right behind me is reading the subtitles out loud to her companion, who I assume is blind, because she's also hissing descriptions of the scenes into his ear.
I duck into "Delta," (2008) by Cannes favorite Komel Mundruczo, part of Morelia's "Young Hungarian Cinema Tribute." The audience gasps when told that, because of changes in Hungary's film financing, no new movies have been made there in the last two years. They also are told that the young actor playing the lead died in an accident midway through filming, forcing a rethinking and reworking of the script.
I do not learn what the denouement is, however, because once again the Hungarian dialogue is subtitled only in Spanish, and I leave for "Daughter of Deceit," a 1951 film by Luis Bunuel, part of the tribute to prolific cinematographer José Ortiz Ramos. I'm determined to see a movie I can understand before the day is over!
To be continued…

First, this little number will get you into the holiday spirit for sure. It's called Definitely Naughty by Jo Leigh. Our lead Cosmo girl, Aubrey Hayes, is a window display designer at Le Muse Lingerie, this chi-chi lingerie store in my good ol' hometown, NYC. She has to come up with the ultimate sexy window display for the Christmas shopping season and she's fresh out of ideas. Then, this "Hot Guys Trading Card" literally floats into her hand—think old time baseball cards like your little brother used to collect, but instead of baseball players, the guys pictured on the front are eligible bachelors who've been submitted by people they know as bona fide great guys. The card Aubrey happens to pick up is that of NYPD detective Liam Flynn. When she sees his photo, she knows she has discovered her inspiration for her holiday window display and reaches out to him to see if he'll agree. Aubrey knows he's hot from a purely aesthetic perspective, but she doesn't expect to actually be as physically attracted to him as she becomes when they meet. This is the ultimate story of mixing work with play. And as I said, it will give you a delicious little escape from the craziness of this time of year.
Jo will have a new novella out in November. And more Blazes in 2014!

Here's a truly inspirational story from Nebraska!
College football teams are holding their spring practice this month, and most of them end the two weeks of practice with a scrimmage.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers had theirs on Saturday in front of 60,000 fans and the highlight was when a seven-year-old kid named Jack Hoffman got to come onto the field.
Jack had a golf-ball-sized tumor removed in 2011 and he's still undergoing treatment for cancer. He became friends with some of the Nebraska players while undergoing 60 weeks of chemotherapy.
So the team invited Jack to run a play in their spring game. They called a play, the quarterback handed him the ball and Jack ran 69 yards for a touchdown!

Lately explainer videos have become an increasingly important part of a company's website and presentation, and there is growing demand for producers who can create amazing,... Continue Reading
Ben Crawford is one of the founders of Epipheo Studios. I first saw Epipheo's early video work in 2009 and immediately became a fan. They have a knack for making ideas easy to understand in a very informal, disarming way.

I asked Ben to answer a few questions about himself and what's happening... Continue Reading
For over two years a company called Lilipip has been a member of our Explainer Network of video producers.

It works well as an explanation by telling a story through the experiences of a character that is likely to connect with the target audience, in this case, IT managers. It plays on the loss of control that IT managers feel (the pain) and shows... Continue Reading

I'm biased, but I think nearly every business website could benefit from a video that explains what they do in about two minutes. This is certainly true with startups - these young businesses are often putting something completely new into the world. Their challenge is to explain it - and few things compare to the power of a video to show people what you do and why. Our friends at Explania, who are members of our Explainer Network, feel the same way. They are based in Belgium and have been... Continue Reading
Today we're excited to announce that Epipheo Studios has joined our Explainer Network of video producers. I remember when I first saw an Epipheo (what they call their video creations).

It wasn't surpising to see them go from making a couple of videos to being hired by Facebook, Yelp, SAP, etc. They are very good at what they do. Here are a... Continue Reading
We currently have six members of our Explainer Network of video producers and three of the companies hail from the Pacific Northwest.

Lilipip is one of the newest members of our Explainer Network of video producers and lately they've been pumping out some great videos for their customers. I'm highlighting a few below... The first video is for Circle Street and as I told Jen at Lilipip, I really like the way they approached this video. It's informal, fun and tells a story about a problem being solved. It made the value proposition of Circle Street clear in one minute. Take a look: Second is a video for Adobe's eLearning... Continue Reading

Amid persisting volatility in the Indian markets, an influential grouping of global financial players has said there is "no point" in trying to blame a particular class of investors for the fluctuations while asserting that "knee jerk" reactions should be avoided.
The Asia Securities Industry & Financial Markets Association's (ASIFMA) views come against the backdrop of domestic currency and the stock markets witnessing significant volatility, amid concerns about the US Federal Reserve plans to taper its easy money regime.
"Markets always fluctuate and there is no point trying to point the finger of blame at any class of investors, local or foreign...," an ASIFMA spokesperson told PTI.
The key is to avoid "knee-jerk" reactions or introduce ill thought-out measures that may make the markets more, rather than less, volatile over the longer term, the spokesperson said.
Members of Hong Kong-based ASIFMA include global and regional banks, securities dealers, brokers, asset managers and credit rating agencies.
Foreign investors pulled out around Rs 3,000 crore from stock market last week. Since the start of this year, overseas investors have pulled out over Rs 25,000 crore from the country's debt market.
Striking an optimistic note, the grouping emphasised that periodic corrections, even sharp ones, tend to get reversed in the longer term.
Faced with plunging rupee, slumping stock markets and high levels of Current Account Deficit (CAD), the authorities have unveiled various measures.
Without mentioning specific steps, the grouping also said that some of the recent actions seem to have been hastily formulated with inadequate consideration for their impact.
"For example, recently announced policies aimed at supporting the Rupee had the unintended effect of raising fears among investors about long-term policy stability.
"If the rules of the game are changed after investors have made their capital commitments, risk is increased immediately, degrading the value of past investments and reducing willingness of existing and prospective investors to make further commitments," the spokesperson said.
To curb the rupee volatility, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in recent weeks initiated many steps including caps on overseas investments by domestic entities.
The rupee, which has depreciated about 15 per cent since April 30, touched an all-time low of 65.56 in intra-day trading against the US dollar on August 22.
India and many other emerging markets have been negatively impacted by global uncertainties.
The negative perception, according to ASIFMA, is a combination of many factors including generally better than expected economic performance by the developed economies compared to the emerging nations.
Besides, there is growing expectation that the US Federal Reserve would reduce the pace of its purchases of American treasuries.
"This in turn, has re-directed flows away from emerging market countries and towards the developed world - as a consequence, India too has been caught in this 'cross-fire," ASIFMA said.
Over the years, India has been looking to attract more foreign funds into the country, both FDI and FII.
"However, policies such as the adoption of 'retro-active' measures, be it in the field of taxation (such as GAAR) tend to be viewed negatively by international investors, FIIs and other market participants," ASIFMA said.

Milwaukee is probably going to go to great lengths to try and resign J.J. Redick, an unrestricted free agent this offseason, if for no other reason than to justify the February trade that sent emerging forward Tobias Harris to Orlando. The question is, what will they have to pay to get him, and what other teams might be interested in the sharp-shooting veteran two-guard.
What will the market be for Redick?

The Environment and Agriculture: Senegal
Water in Africa
- Region
- Africa, Senegal
- Type
- Story
by Rebecca and Jay Wozny, Saare Oumar, Senegal
Disposable goods, fertilizers, and pesticides have damaged the local waterways. As the villagers use more and more plastic bags and bottles, these items end up being washed into the rivers. Since fertilizers and pesticides are mainly used in the rainy season, these, too, are washed into the ground and water systems.
Another problem is erosion. The earth is dry for six months, so when the rainy season begins, the roads are washed away. Sometimes, sections of a farmer's field are washed away as well. All the flooding streams go straight to the rice fields and then to the river. Luckily, trees are plentiful here and help to control erosion damage.
Farmers plant the field crops—peanuts, corn, rice, beans, millet, etc.—after the rains begin. Since it rains fairly frequently, the farmers rely solely on the rains to water the fields. If there is too much rain, the crops rot and die. If there is too little rain, the crops dry out and die.
Women also tend the gardens in order to supplement the harvested field crops. These gardens must be watered twice a day. Frequently, the wells run dry before everything can be watered. This means that some seeds will not get watered and will probably die. Several small wells are usually dug near the garden area.
by Catherine Guillard, Samba Diarry, Senegal
A process of desertification has slowly and steadily decreased water availability over the years. The Sahara is gradually expanding, making regions of Senegal drier and drier. This is due, in part, to deforestation.
New technologies such as pumps and forages (a method of providing running water using a pump run by gasoline and a holding tank high above ground) have improved the water in some villages, but the villages that depend on well water have remained the same.
by Kathleen Rucker, Louga, Senegal
Because I have only been in Senegal for 18 months, and I'm not a water specialist, and I can't speak with any authority on this subject. But I believe that the installation of the community faucet has improved conditions here. The water in our village seems clean, and I do not know of any people who have become ill because it. This water system insures a clean, consistent water supply—assuming, of course, that the reservoir remains uncontaminated.

April Consumer Spending Data Point to Decelerating Trend in 2011:Q2
Personal consumption expenditures moved up only 0.1% in April, after a similar increase in March. The entire gain came from purchases of services (+0.1%), with outlays on durable and non-durables holding steady in April. Based on April data and conservative projections for May and June, consumer spending is most likely to post a 2.0% annualized increase in the second quarter of 2011 after a 2.2% gain in the first quarter. In addition to consumer spending, the message from incoming economic reports is that the pace of economic growth is slowing.
The personal saving rate as a percentage of disposable income held steady at 4.9% in April, after maintaining readings above 5.0% in the first two months of 2011 and posting an average of 5.8% in 2010.
Personal income rose 0.4% in April after similar gains in March. The personal consumption expenditure price index rose 0.3%, while the core personal consumption expenditure price index, which excludes food and energy, increased 0.2%. From a year ago, these indexes have moved up 2.2% and 1.0% respectively. Although the overall price measure is close to the Fed's threshold of tolerance (around 2.0% is the preferred inflation reading). The Fed views this as reflecting transitory gains of energy and food prices because a complete pass through of higher energy prices to that of core items has not occurred.
April Pending Home Sales Index Suggests Weakness of Home Sales in the Near Term
The Pending Home Sales Index (PHSI) of April fell 11.6% in April after a 3.5% gain in the prior month. The PHSI tracks sales of existing homes one-to-two months down the road. The latest reading bodes poorly for sales of existing homes in May and June.

See all Cheap Long Term Accommodation Brisbane
Brisbane is the third largest city in Australia, with more than 2 million inhabitants calling this stunning city home. It is the capital city of Queensland, and as such is an important city for both the region and for the country overall. Despite being a relatively new city with regards to being a tourist hotspot, Brisbane is rapidly becoming an impressively popular city to visit. Having received a great deal of attention from various international sporting events and being well-known for its incredible climate, Brisbane has fast-become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.
One of the best things about Brisbane is its welcoming, youthful, atmosphere that makes it a pleasant place to visit despite its potentially daunting size. You won't find many other cities with this many people that provide such a relaxed, positive ambiance that you can enjoy in a range of different ways. Brisbane may not be the architectural or cultural capital of the world, and if you're looking for ancient history it's not the perfect destination, but these aspects are seen as positives, because the city doesn't take itself too seriously, try to be something it's not, or intimidate visitors with a wealth of tourist traps.
Popular Destinations in Brisbane
Popular destinations for visitors include the Brisbane City Hall and King George Square, which is arguably the most important historical landmark in the city. Following restoration work, the square is as stunning as it has ever been and well-worth a visit if you want to see some of the oldest parts of the city. Another popular destination is the Museum of Brisbane, which will give you a great history of the city and even offer up work from local artists for you to enjoy. The City Botanic Gardens are an excellent option if you're looking for a relaxing tour in a peaceful atmosphere that includes information about the history of both the city and the gardens. For a dose of Australian (and international) culture, head to the Queensland Cultural Centre, where there are several exhibits from internationally renowned artists. Of course, no trip to Brisbane would be complete without a visit to see just a glimpse of the wildlife that Australia has to offer, so head to the Alma Park Zoo or even the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary.
Exciting Activities in Brisbane
Australia is a very active country, and Brisbane is no exception to that rule, so if you're looking to get stuck in and enjoy your holiday through some exciting activities then you'll have come to the right place. A great place to start is Kangaroo Point, which has a range of activities including kayaking, rock climbing, and abseiling with stunning views. The Story Bridge Adventure allows you to climb to the top of, you guessed it, the Story Bridge. This beautiful bridge looks great from the ground, but the views from the top are well worth the climb, with stunning views of the city and the surrounding mountain ranges all around.
Eating Out in Brisbane
Brisbane's cuisine is on par with other cities of its kind, with a range of restaurants to suit every budget. The different districts all offer a vast array of restaurants with food from around the world, so you're unlikely to be disappointed.
Brisbane Nightlife
The nightlife in Brisbane is also impressive, although it's important to familiarize yourself with the local laws to ensure you don't start your night too late (for example, after 3am you won't be able to get into any bars or clubs).
Shopping in Brisbane
The shopping in Brisbane is equally wide-ranging and you'll be able to find anything from high-end fashion boutiques to sprawling markets with independent retailers.

Consumer Protection Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Not sure of purchase price. My son told me they put $3000 down and financed rest thru dealer. Total of payments would be about $9000. I don't know what they were trying to buy, or how much as a trade. just a car with better mileage performance.
Thank you for the information. If the car is worthless, then they would look to the dealership for redress. Either the dealership would reimburse them the total purchase price minus the remaining balance of the loan financed by the dealership, or they can sue the dealership for unfair and deceptive act and practice for selling them a salvaged auto that is worthless and lying about it and for the return of the purchase price, if the dealership refuses or ignores their demand for reimbursement.
So, first they need to speak with the sales manager and go from there.
They may also want to file complaint with the Attorney General's Office and the Better Business Bureau if the dealership does not cooperate:
