Apartments & Real Estate
Detroit offers many different types of housing options: rental homes, spacious lofts, student apartment and townhouses. View some of your options here. The New Center Council website – www.newcenter.com – provides listings for apartments around the Taubman Center. The University Cultural Center Association website – www.detroitmidtown.com – provides listings for apartment and townhouse rentals near the Medical Center, Cultural Center, CCS and Wayne State University.
When looking at apartments, consider the following:
- Most landlords require a security deposit upon move in. This protects them from any damage you may cause to the apartment. Security deposits can vary from a half months' rent to two months rent.
- Ask if utilities are included in monthly rent. If not, ask the landlord what average monthly utility bills may be.
- Talk to other tenants in the building. They can tell you what to expect in terms of safety, the landlord and the heat/hot water service.
- Check the edges of the apartment door and mailbox for any indication of break-ins or vandalism.
- If ceilings or walls show watermarks, remember you'll have to find a safe place to store your art supplies, portfolios, etc. Watermarks around the bottom of bathroom walls may mean the toilet backs up.
- Look around the building and yard to get an idea of repairs that might be needed. Try to determine how receptive the manager/landlord is to making repairs.
- Ask if there is a fire alarm (or alarms) in the building and check the condition of any fire escapes. All residential buildings should have working fire alarms in addition to a fire escape plan.
- Look out the windows. If there are a lot of people nearby, consider the possible noise level, and how it will affect your studying.
- Most apartments will not have laundry facilities, so you'll want to know the location of the nearest laundromat, as well as the nearest grocery store.
- Take time to look around the neighborhood to get a feel for safety.
- Apartment buildings should have a secure, well-lit parking lot. If only street parking is available, make sure it is well lit and close to where you will be living.

Russia - Overview
Managers often understand English better than they speak it. You must be prepared to conduct negotiations in Russian.
To make a call from: 810
To make a call to: +7
Economic overview
Despite high energy prices and the global economic recovery, the Russian economy reached its lowest level of growth since the 2008-2009 crisis and there has been a drop in investment. Growth is partially impedede by the restrictive monetary policy of the Central Bank, which is trying to contain the high levels of inflation (7% annually). Industrial production has been badly harmed and suffers from lack of competitiveness, while at the same time Russian has become a member of the WTO. Wages are growing on average more quickly than productivity. Despite the high price of oil barrel, the current account surplus has diminished and the country has been experiencing a leaking of capital. Its limited production capacities, insufficient investnment, the excessively strong rouble and limited access to credit have all contributed to its economic slowdown. Teh 2014-2016 austerity budget is planning to introduce a number of budget cuts, while the main strategy remains unchallanged. A budget deficit of 0.5% of the GDP is predicted for 2014, its double (1%) in 2015 and 0.6% in the following year. Because of the weaker rouble and higher energy prices than predicted, the budget could nonetheless avoid creating any deficit at all in 2014. A reduction in spending of at least 5% in all areas has been agreed, with the exception of social spending, civil servant wages and Russia's foreign commitments. Defense spending will rise by 18% in 2014 and 33% over the following two years, as part of the ten-year rearmament programme which aims to modernize Russia's military. The Russian economy is facing many challenges: its dependence on raw materials, which makes it a largely a rentier economy, corruption responsible for a bad business climate, lack of structural reforms, an aging population, vulnerability to the economic instability of the eurozone and the possible slowdown of Chinese growth, the fall of the ruble, or the decline in oil prices.
The unemployment rate, which risen as an effect of the 2008/9 crisis, has now decreased to near pre-crisis levels (6%) and real wages have grown. However, social inequalities are still marked, particularly between big cities and rural areas. Only 1% of the population owns 71% of private assets. Despite the appearance of an urban middle class, the poverty rate is still at 16%. A protest movement coming from the middle classes has been demanding the end to corruption and nepotism.
Main industries
Despite its large surface area, Russia has a relatively small amount of arable land because of unfavorable climatic conditions. The country nevertheless owns 10% of the global agricultural lands. The northern regions of the country concentrate mainly on livestock and the southern regions as well as western Siberia produce cereals.
Industry represents more than a third of Russia's GDP and employs up to 30% of the population. The country inherited most of the Soviet Union's industrial bases. The most well developed sectors are chemicals, metallurgy, mechanical construction and defense sectors.
The service sector employs more than 60% of the population and generates slightly under 60% of the GDP. After the 1998 financial crises, the banking sector has not yet undergone a complete restructuring. Given the size of the country, the transport, communications and also trade sectors are particularly significant. Tourism is becoming an important source of revenue.
Foreign trade overview
The country shows a high trade surplus, thanks to its rich natural resources, especially hydrocarbons, and this should continue regardless of the drop in raw material prices and the deterioration of the global economic situation, which might reduce its surplus. In 2013, Russia's trade balance (179 billion USD) declined by 6.9% compared to 2012, with exports declining by 0.9% while imports grew by 2.6%.
Although FDI flux had considerably increased since the beginning of the 2000s, their share in the GDP (1.5%) remains small given the country's growth and the potential fo the Russian economy. For the most part, these are circular investments. Although over the last few years, Russia has implemented positive economic reforms, the state's administrative problems, corruption and the uncertainties of the rule of law remain significant.

Missouri Elk Released From Holding Pen
Missouri's 34 restored elk, plus five new calves, were released June 1 from their three-acre holding site at the Missouri Department of Conservation's (MDC) Peck Ranch Conservation Area. The release followed final approval of stringent health-testing protocols by the Missouri Department of Agriculture.
The Peck Ranch Refuge Area will remain temporarily closed to the public to allow the adult elk and new calves time to acclimate to the area with a minimum of human disturbance.
MDC staff believe that additional cows remain pregnant with calving expected anytime.
The 34 adult elk and five newborn calves have been fitted with radio collars as part of a cooperative research project with the University of Missouri. The collars will help researchers track the elks' health, movement patterns and preferred types of vegetation. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation provided funds for the collars. The research project is being partially funded by the Wildlife Restoration Program administered through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
"Thanks to successful habitat restoration and citizen, landowner and partner support, elk are back in Missouri after more than a century," said MDC Deputy Director Tom Draper. "Citizens deserve credit and should be proud. We will continue to keep the public informed as this project continues."
For more information on Missouri's elk restoration efforts, visit www.MissouriConservation.org "elk restoration."

Senate GOP pushes budget through without new taxes
Irritated Democrats decry cuts to health, education programs
Published 9:00 pm, Friday, April 4, 2003
OLYMPIA -- Tightfisted Senate Republicans pushed their no-new-tax budget through the Senate yesterday, wryly sharing the credit with Democratic Gov. Gary Locke.
Irritated Democrats called it a "no-new-tax budget that is a no-good budget" and said restoring some of Locke's worst spending cuts was no better than Michael Jackson snatching his baby back from peril.
The $22.8 billion, two-year spending plan cleared the Senate 28-20 when four conservative Democrats joined a solid bloc of Republicans.
A spirited debate also underscored fault lines that will carry over to the conflict with the Democratic-controlled House in the remaining weeks of the session.

Senate Democrats tried to restore about $275 million in spending for children's health, migrant prenatal care, education and other programs. At every turn, they were rebuffed by majority Republicans who said the state can't afford that level of spending during recession.
Senate budget Chairman Dino Rossi, R-Sammamish, said resolving a multibillion-dollar hole in the budget was tough, but necessary, given his caucus' position against raising general taxes.
He said the GOP budget was based largely on themes suggested by the Democratic governor, including the idea that tax increases would hurt the economic recovery and the targeting of lower-priority services for elimination or cuts.
"At a time when Washington has one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation, raising general taxes would be the worst way to drag our economy further into recession," Rossi said. The state's most recent unemployment figure was a seasonally adjusted 6.8 percent.
"Gov. Locke made a commitment to not raise taxes and the Senate budget follows that lead," he said.
Sen. Tim Sheldon, D-Potlatch, one of the four Democrats who crossed the aisle to support the plan, said, "It's about choices and priorities." The war in Iraq, the state's revenue gap and the loss of 90,000 jobs in the past two years means citizens and government have to cinch in their belts, he said.
Democrats Jim Hargrove of Hoquiam, Marilyn Rasmussen of Eatonville and Aaron Reardon of Everett also joined 24 Republicans in approving the budget.
Rossi said the Senate plan restores about $155 million worth of Locke's proposed cuts, including children's services, mental health and programs for the developmentally disabled, and adult dental, hearing and vision care for the poor.
The plan gives a pay raise to about 32 percent of all teachers and would lift beginning pay to more than $30,000 a year, he said. Non-teaching K-12 employees, such as cooks and bus drivers, would get a pay boost and some class-size reduction funds are added, he said.
Lawmakers need to examine tax loopholes and consider new revenue so they can restore some cuts, minority Democrats said.
"We can and should do better by Washington's kids ... in education, higher education, children's health and prenatal care," said the Democrats' budget leader, Darlene Fairley of Lake Forest Park.

NEW PORT RICHEY — Michelle Mollett had kept her secret for 11 years. The truth was too terrible to tell, and who would listen anyway?
And then, on May 28, it spilled out. Her grandmother and father were fighting, and she feared that if Grandma kicked Dad out, she'd have to leave with him.
She didn't want to go anywhere with him.
Grandma couldn't believe how irresponsible her son was. He spent money he didn't have, yelled at people and never listened.
After a long fight, Grandma walked outside to smoke a cigarette. Michelle, 17, followed her. They stood on the back porch.
"Is he mentally retarded or something?" Grandma asked Michelle.
"I think he is, Grandma," she said.
There was more, but Michelle said it could wait until later.
"You're not going anywhere, and I'm not going anywhere, until you tell me what you mean," Grandma said.
Michelle took a breath.
"It's about abuse," she said, "but you can't tell anybody."
Life wasn't easy
Michelle was just 6 when it started.
She walked in on her father using the bathroom. She was curious about what she saw, so he told her to touch him. Then he touched her.
"I had no idea it was inappropriate," she said.
She lived then in Davie with her father, Michael Mollett, and his adoptive parents. Michelle's mother had left three years after she was born. She wouldn't meet Grandma — Michael's birth mother — for another decade.
Living with Michael wasn't easy. He was prone to mood swings and long bouts of depression, brought on by a disorder that caused his body to fail to produce enough potassium.
Worst of all, he kept a .45-caliber gun on the top closet shelf. When he didn't get what he wanted, Michelle said, he'd threaten to use the gun on himself.
After her father touched her, Michelle went to Sherry Mollett, her adoptive grandmother. She asked why people touch each other's private parts.
Sherry talked to her husband, Tom.
"And my husband told him never to do that again, and he (Michael) was crying and saying he shouldn't," Sherry recalled in a phone interview from Ohio, where she now lives.
Michelle remembers Michael screaming as he went to his closet. He grabbed his gun and pointed it at himself.
After awhile, he calmed down, and everyone went to sleep. No one called the police. No one separated father from daughter.
"Nothing ever happened (again) that I knew of," Sherry says. "She never came to me and said, 'There is something wrong. If I would have known, believe me, it would have been stopped."
Trusting no one
The abuse only got worse.
When she turned 11, Michelle's father began to have sex with her in the bedroom they shared in Davie and then in Arizona, where they moved after Tom Mollett died.
Michelle would wrap her arm around her eyes and ears. She'd zone herself out, trying desperately to think about something else.
She didn't confide in anyone.
"I didn't like it, but I thought that's the way I'm going to have to live," she said. "Because otherwise, I'm going to get in trouble … that's it, I guess."
"If the person she discloses to in the first place plays it down, that affects the victim's thinking," said Scott Berkowitz, the founder of the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network. "Anyone in that situation would think, 'Well, if I know Grandmother's not going to help me, what's the point of going forward?' "
Incest victims, in particular, have trouble trusting others due to their relationship with the abuser, he said.
"It's probably the hardest type of sexual assault to recover from," Berkowitz said.
"He can't stop"
Michelle went to school every day, where she was expected to maintain high grades, and then she'd come straight home.
She had few friends outside school, and she didn't go on dates. She had one boyfriend, whom she saw in secret for two months until Michael found out. He screamed for hours, the gun in his hand, fully loaded.
She filled her spare time with EverQuest, an online role-playing game. For hours each day, Michelle became a character in a medieval world fighting evil. The other players became her friends. She'd talk about her life without letting on about her secret.
She learned when to expect the abuse. Sometimes her father would use codes like "Can I have my flower?"
For Michelle's 16th birthday, Michael took her to an Arizona mall, where he bought her a ring from Tiffany's. It was platinum with small diamonds that formed a flower.
"I just had a feeling by then. It was … he's not gonna stop," she said. "He can't stop."
Finally, an escape
Nancy Wilson was just 17 when she gave birth to Michael. She already had a 1-year-old son, and her parents told her she couldn't bring a second baby home. So she gave Michael up for adoption.
Nancy didn't hear from him until 40 years later, when Michael called her in March. A private investigator helped him find her.
The next month, Michael and Michelle came to visit Nancy at her New Port Richey home. They got along great, so Michael suggested they all live together.
"I said, 'Sure, we got a lot of years to catch up,' " Nancy said.
It didn't take long for Michael's moody, controlling side to come out. And Nancy, who worked nights bartending in Dunedin, couldn't handle Michael's spending, particularly when he refused to help with household expenses.
By the end of May, Nancy was ready to give up. Michael's latest purchase — three pairs of Levi's shorts, each $30 — had come just as she was struggling to pay an electric bill.
They yelled at each other for almost an hour before Michael stormed out of the house. And then, as Nancy smoked a cigarette out back and Michelle worried about being kicked out with her dad, she came out with the terrible truth.
Nancy stayed calm. She sent Michael to drop off Michelle at her job at a Port Richey Walgreen's. A friend moved Michelle's things out of the home.
And when Michael got back, an argument erupted — and sheriff's deputies arrested him on three counts of sexual battery.
The next morning, Michael told a detective that Michelle's claim that he'd been abusing her since age 6 wasn't true.
He said it started at age 7.
A knock at the door
In a half-hour taped interview with the detective, Michael said his sexual relationship with his daughter was loving, not forced. He noted that Michelle had grown up without a mother, and he had been without a spouse.
"All we had was each other," he said.
But he was alone in the Land O'Lakes jail now, tormented by the other inmates.
"All the inmates hate me because of the sex charges I have," he complained to a guard, according to a Sheriff's Office spokesman.
On Aug. 5, two days after he was moved to a single cell to shield him from the other inmates, Michael hanged himself with a pillowcase on a towel hook.
A deputy came to Nancy's home to give her the news. Her reaction: "Thank God."
One day at a time
After Michael's arrest, Nancy urged Michelle to go back to high school. But Michelle thought about how miserable her first three years had been, and she'd start crying. She couldn't go back.
Then, a few days after Michael's death, Michelle decided to enroll.
"I look at it now and think this whole thing is over with," she said. "He can't touch me anymore."
Michelle started her senior year at Gulf High School last month. She's taking honors classes and hopes to someday design computer games.
She still plays EverQuest almost every day, keeping in touch with the other players, but not as much as she used to. She's started to make friends at school and in the neighborhood.
And she talks about the abuse — perpetrated by the man she now calls "Michael" — with a calm voice.
"I just try and go day by day," said Michelle. "There's no real rule book on it or any kind of guideline that I follow."
Michelle says talking about her ordeal helps her move on.
"I don't want it to be a secret because it feels bottled up inside of me," she said.
What would she say to victims of abuse?
"I just want to let them now that once the abuse ends, it's a party compared to what it was before," she said.

Graffiti using profanity on a monastery gate in the Valley of the Cross area of Jerusalem has sounded an alarm for police and state officials. In the latest attack, the vandals, who also wrote "Happy Chanukah", slashed the tires of three vehicles parked at the location.
A similar attack occurred two months ago, that time targeting a monastery in the Latrun area.
Responding to the attack, which occurred on Wednesday, 28 Kislev 5773, Prime Minister Netanyahu said, "The Jewish values according to which we were raised and according to which we raise our children reject outright such behavior. Freedom of worship for all religions will be upheld in Israel and we will bring to justice these contemptible beings who perpetrated this crime."
Police also report there was an additional price tag attack in an Arab village west of Ramallah in which vehicles were set ablaze and "price tag" was written by the vandals. Police are not stating if they suspect a connection in the attacks.

Time for a Comprehensive California Smart Grid Strategy?
By Guest Editorial
Nov 28, 2006, 01:33
When you stand too close to a pointillist painting, you only see dots.As you step away, meaningful shapes emerge. Stand back far enough and the whole picture appears.
Assessing California's progress toward a Smart Grid is much the same: You can grasp individual images but not the entire picture. California is making progress in a number of key areas, but decision makers have not yet connected all the dots to develop a comprehensive Smart Grid strategy.
King of the Load
Perhaps the best example of this is California's "loading order."This energy-planning policy directs California's utilities to seek new energy resources in the following order:
·Energy efficiency and demand response
·Renewable energy and distributed generation
·Clean and efficient fossil-fired generation
The loading order has transformed the way the state conducts energy planning. Indeed, California has made great strides in achieving the component parts of the loading order. But no comprehensive framework has emerged to optimize these preferred resources.
Smart Grid Activities in California
California's best known Smart Grid activity is advanced metering. By 2012, it is likely that California's investor-owned utilities (IOUs) will have advance meters capable of two-way communications and the beginnings of an advanced communication network. In July of this year, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approved Pacific Gas & Electric's plan to deploy advanced meters.
In a different proceeding in April 2006, the CPUC also adopted a regulatory framework to encourage broadband over power lines (BPL) in California.The decision strongly encourages California's IOUs "to study BPL as a way to provide 'smart grid' applications to California consumers."
California utilities are also embracing smart grid technologies and concepts.In addition to advanced metering they are deploying and demonstrating advanced technologies such as FACTS (Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System), distribution automation, and advanced flywheel storage.
A Strategy for Smart Grid
California has been a leader in adopting technologies and strategies necessary to implement a Smart Grid.For this, California regulators, legislators, and utilities should be lauded.But as one California regulator said at the recent San Diego Smart Grid Summit, regulatory agencies tend to deal with issues individually and in "silos."
It may be time to take a few steps back to see the broader picture and examine the connections between the dots. To integrate existing efforts and chart future Smart Grid developments, regulators and legislators might consider three important next steps:
1.Develop a comprehensive Smart Grid vision for California that links current initiatives together and includes participation of a broad range of stakeholders.
2.Conduct a cost-benefit analysis to determine if implementing this vision is broadly cost effective to the utilities and to society.
3.Where appropriate, develop a roadmap to implement the regulatory and technological changes necessary to achieve the vision.
Those three steps could help paint a brighter picture of California's energy future.
Scott Anders is the Director of the Energy Policy Initiatives Center (EPIC), the energy policy research center of the University of San Diego Law School.

Outraging many critics when it was first published in 1840, A Hero of Our Time follows Pechorin as he embarks on an exciting adventure involving brigands, smugglers, soldiers, rivals, and lovers.
This edition includes a new introduction, chronology, suggestions for further reading, maps, and full explanatory notes.
@BAMF Who is that sublime woman? She is perfect. Oh, excellent: Grushinsky seems to like her. I'm going to cock-block him. How typically me.
My plan to seduce her is simple: act like I always have better things to do, insult her, and act as though I have nothing left to live for.
Apparently she's begging for an introduction? I wonder if this kind of thing works in real life?

Update: 10-year-old Aliyah Kay Crowder has been found. Story here.
Police issued an Amber Alert on Friday after a 10-year-old girl was abducted by her mother from her West Valley City elementary school.
Update: 10-year-old Aliyah Kay Crowder has been found. Story here.
Police issued an Amber Alert on Friday after a 10-year-old girl was abducted by her mother from her West Valley City elementary school.
Aliyah Kay Crowder was taken from Silver Hills Elementary School, 5770 W. 5100 South, at about noon, said West Valley City police Sgt. Mike Powell.
Aliyah's mother, 38-year-old Venus Athena Barker who does not have legal custody of the girl entered the school cafeteria at lunchtime, grabbed her daughter and started moving the girl out of the building, said Granite School District spokesman Ben Horsley.
When a school secretary asked Barker whether she had checked the girl out of school, Barker replied that she had, according to Horsley.
But the secretary insisted she had not.
Barker then handed over some purported legal documents, "which turned out to be nothing," Horsley said.
Horsley said Barker had a "stranglehold on the girl" as she proceeded to the parking lot.
The girl did not struggle, Horsley said, but "seemed quite shocked at the situation."
Powell called Barker's actions at the school "aggressive" and "very concerning."
The abduction happened around noon, but the Amber Alert was not issued until a few hours later as police worked to verify the information.
Powell said the girl's father, who has legal custody of Aliyah, is "obviously very concerned."
Barker is white, 5-foot-5, 150 pounds, with blue eyes and brown hair pulled into a ponytail. She is reportedly wearing a brown leather jacket. She may be driving a black or dark gray Chevrolet Malibu or Impala.
Aliyah is white, 4-foot-4, 70 pounds, with blue eyes, brown hair and a missing right upper tooth. She has double-pierced ears with hoops on one side and a skull post in the other.
She was last seen wearing a black coat with brown fur around the edges, a dark blue shirt, blue jeans and knee-high Converse boots, one with white laces the other with black laces. The jeans were tucked into the boots.
Barker's boyfriend, 34-year-old Sanford Grayson Barker, may be with her. He is known to carry a handgun, according to police.
Sanford Barker is described as 5-foot-10, 200 pounds with blue eyes and blond hair.
It is not known if the Barkers are married.
Aliyah was abducted by Venus Barker once before. In February 2011, she took the girl from Utah. The girl was found in October in Killdeer, N.D., staying in a trailer park with the Barkers, Killdeer police reported. She was reunited with her father.
Killdeer police found the girl after an officer attempted to stop Sanford Barker because of a broken tail light on his car, according to an October article in The Dickinson Press, a North Dakota newspaper serving Killdeer.
The article stated that Sanford Barker fled, leading police to the trailer park.
Anyone with information is urged to call police at 801-840-4000, or dial 911.

That may be, but you could minimize the cost and notational ugliness by not using the spinlock where you don't have to. Put the sig_atomic_t fields back the way they were, and many of the uses of the spinlock go away. All you really need it for is the places where the additional flags are set or read. > In fact, I think there's a small race condition in CVS HEAD: Yeah, probably --- the original no-locking design didn't have any side flags. The reason you need the lock is for a backend to be sure that a newly-started checkpoint is using its requested flags. But the detection of checkpoint termination is still the same. Some other comments: I tend to agree with whoever said upthread that the combination of GUC variables proposed here is confusing and ugly. It'd make more sense to have min and max checkpoint rates in KB/s, with the max checkpoint rate only honored when we are predicting we'll finish before the next checkpoint time. The flow of control and responsibility between xlog.c, bgwriter.c and bufmgr.c seems to have reached the breaking point of unintelligibility. Can you think of a refactoring that would simplify it? We might have to resign ourselves to this much messiness, but I'd rather not... regards, tom lane

(CBS/WCBS/AP) NEW YORK - A judge has agreed to release Dominique Strauss-Kahn without bail on his own recognizance Friday in his sexual assault case.
The agreement approved by State Supreme Court Justice Michael Obus in Manhattan does not give Strauss-Kahn his passport back. The criminal case against him stands.
The decision represents a huge change in circumstances for the 62-year-old who was arrested for sexually assaulting a housekeeper in his suite at the Sofitel Hotel, a posh Times Square hotel, on May 14.
The agreement came following reports which cast doubt on the credibility of his accuser.
From the beginning, the defense has questioned the accuser's answers to many questions.
"The forensic evidence we believe will not be consistent with a forcible encounter," attorney Benjamin Brafman said on May 15, reports CBS affiliate WCBS.
Prosecutors are now beginning to believe the story may have been made up. Sources told the New York Times there are major holes in the woman's credibility and that the case may be "on the verge of collapse." The Times reports the native of Guinea lied on her asylum application and may have connections to drug dealing and money laundering.
Sources told the newspaper that while Strauss-Kahn was paraded before the cameras, the woman, who lives in an apartment in the Bronx, met with a prisoner friend at Rikers Island, and was recorded telling him the possible benefits of pursuing charges.
The Times reports of a recent deposit in her bank account, totaling $100,000.
"If this is true, if there are serious problems now with the alleged victim's credibility, those problems aren't likely to get better the closer the case goes to trial so I wouldn't be surprised at all, again if this is true, if prosecutors were thinking of backing away," said Andrew Cohen, CBS Radio News legal analyst.
The French economist and diplomat, once considered a candidate for his homeland's presidency, has been under armed guard in a $50,000-per-month Tribeca townhouse after posting a total of $6 million in cash bail and bond. He has denied allegations of trying to rape the hotel housekeeper when she went to clean his room.

Immunologic Memory
Would someone happen to know why if you perform an adoptive transfer, the immunologic memory decreases as time passes by? For example, if you exposed the anitbody to an antigen right away, the immune is rapid. But, if you expose the antibodies to an antigen like 12 weeks later, the immune response rapidly decreases?

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120403/CL80773LOGO [http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120403/CL80773LOGO] )
"This price increase follows our recently announced coreboard increase of 50 Euros/40 GBP per ton in the European Market that went into effect on October 1, 2013. The coreboard increase was needed due to the rising cost of energy, freight and other materials involved in the manufacturing process. This increase has been accepted by the market, therefore our tube and core prices needed to reflect this change accordingly," said Adam Wood, Vice President, Sonoco-Alcore.
Sonoco-Alcore S.a.r.l. is wholly-owned by Sonoco and operates 29 tube and core plants and five paperboard mills in Europe.

Deuteronomy 12–13 contains Moses' warning to the Israelites about worshiping false gods. The covenant people were to be different from all other nations and avoid not only false practices but apparent involvement with false practices. In chapter 12, Moses told the Israelites to avoid the places where false gods were worshiped and warned them about imitating the practices of false religions. In chapter 13, Moses warned the Israelites about people who participate in or might lead them to the worship of false gods.34189_000_120

Hello all,
I am a 22 year old male, two nights ago as i was getting ready for bed when i felt a sense of anxiety come over me, while it was happening I thought it might be a panic attack, but i was not nervous or anxious about anything. It felt like something needed to change so after finding that i did not need to throw up i tried to will myself to relax, controlled breathing focused thoughts, this momentarily helped and i thought i was better, so i stood up and tried to make it to my room. I fell down in the hallway while still fully conscious and i saw my body convulse, or rather it looked like i was trying to roll from side to side. I can't honestly say how long it lasted i think it was no more than ten to fifteen seconds. This is the first time anything like this has happened to me, including the sense of anxiety out of no where
Additional possibly irrelevant, I have been having stomach issues for over a year now, diagnosed as IBS after every negative medical test ruled everything else out. On top of this i have constant muscle twitching in both calves, which has gotten more active in the past quarter year, diagnosed as benign fasciculations, two years ago.
Any information of similar experiences and what you did about it would be helpful, thank you

Mags was an orphan and slave of 'bad blood' who toiled in a gem mine all his young life. He would have died before adulthood, had he not been Chosen and taken to Haven to be trained in the new Herald Collegium.
Now, Mags was never hungry and never cold. He slept in a real bed in his own room and, most importantly, he had Dallen, who was like another part of himself. And yet, aside from Lena and Bear, both loners like he was, he couldn't relate to most of the Herald, Healer, or Bard trainees. He was the only trainee who came from what - to the others - was unimaginable poverty.
There was another factor that contributed to Mag's isolation. Foreign assassins, masquerading at court as envoys, were discovered. As they fled from the Guard, one of them seemed to "recognize" Mags. Now, Mags was an object of suspicion.
He had always been curious about his parents, but after the incident it became urgent for Mags to discover exactly who his parents were. And at Haven, he had access to the extensive Archives. Poring through the Archives, he got only incomplete information: his parents, found dead in a bandit camp, had been two of a number of hostages, some of whom had survived. The survivors had told the Guard that Mags' parents spoke a language that no one understood or recognized.
This information did not help, for the ForeSeers had been having visions of the king's assassination by "one of the foreign blood". Some had even Seen Mags with blood on his hands. How could Mags defend himself against a crime that hadn't yet been committed?
Enchanted? Spend some more time in Valdemar.
©2010 Mercedes Lackey (P)2010 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
I'm a relationship coach (QueenBeesCoaching), survived raising my children and have a loving relationship. Life is good!
"Good bedtime read and love the narrator!"
I love Mercedes Lackey's books for that 'down time' read. When my mind needs a vacation and I need a 'feel good' book.
This is the 2nd book of the 'Mags' story line. It's a little too 'the poor dear boy' type of story, but at the same time all the characters are relatable when it comes to teenage angst. And the mystery of Mag's family has yet to be answered, but I'm hoping the 3rd book will answer this satisfactorily.This 2nd book left me wanting the 3rd.. immediately. I didn't want to wait and forget all the story. Lucky for me, the next book was just published. It's downloading to my iPhone as I write.
This may sound strange to some of you, but I listen to audiobooks as I fall asleep at night. It assists me in turning off my brain. I like a good easy story that doesn't have a lot of needless violence, blood shed, or 'whodunit'. I use Audible's timer function and the story turns off after half an hour. It's like someone is reading me a bedtime story.
I really enjoy the narrator, Nick Podehl. I find his voice soothing and easy to listen to for long periods of time. He does not mispronounce words and his cadence is good. While he doesn't do a huge variety of voices, I know exactly which character he is voicing, simply because he is consistent. I'm so glad to see that the last book in the series used the same narrator.
I have yet to read a Mercedes Lackey book I didn't love, and this is no exception. The story of the beginning of the Heralds is one I've wanted to read for a long time, and the main character has a fascinating beginning. I enjoyed all three of these books tremendously.
"Great performance, slow story"
Nick Podehl is audiobook god, and his dulcet tones made the faux-Quidditch matches bearable. Overall, this book just smacked too much of Harry Potter, and the pacing was off. The third book is better.
"Love the story not the narrator."
I love Mercedes Lackey, this is my favorite series. I wish the narrator had character voices it was pretty flat. If you love the Valdemar Series you will like this story.
"Best narrator ever!"
The narrator was the best I have ever heard. he made the story come alive in my mind. The way he was able to change voices was amazing. The story line kept me not wanting to stop listening. I can't pick my favorite moments because the whole book was very written and very well narrated.
"this book is full of laughs and trials for mages."
magges adventure are fum and trialling and gives u the understanding of how some kids think its there falt where thang s are blamed on them when its not
I'm going to start this by saying that I am generally a fan of the author, and especially of all things Valdemar, and that I like this series as a whole. But this book, of the three I have so far read, smacked too much of Harry Potter for my tastes. I honestly think if she had not gone for her own version of Quidditch, I could have overlooked the other similarities as simply being the result of two fantasy-genre coming of age tales. But that game was just one thing too many.
That said, I will stress that this is not a complete ripoff. The story is different, the conclusion different, there's just so many similarities that it's distracting.
"Its a familiar formula."
A good continuation of the series despite the formula of "loner kid finds magic and two friends" that became familiar with the Potter series.
While an adult would have no trouble enjoying this book it seems to be tailored to young adults and teens. It doesn't have that teen "flavoring" that many young adult books have.
Regardless of the form and the slow pace it is still a good series. If you liked the first book you will enjoy the second as well.
Say something about yourself!
"Adventures with mags our hidden Herald continue"

The original GTO, the 250GTO was developed for the FIA GT Championship, duly taking the manufacturer's title for Ferrari in 1962, 1963 and 1964; clearly, any revival of the 'GTO' name would have to be a very special car. Enter the 288GTO. Like its predecessor, the 288GTO (the initials stand forGran Turismo Omologato) was conceived as a limited edition model, just 200 units being planned to meet the then-existing Group B homologation requirements for international sports car racing. Powered by a 32-valve V8 2,855cc fitted with twin IHI turbos and Behr inter-coolers, performance was nearly as staggering as the list price of £73,499 with 400bhp at 7,000 rpm and a mighty 366lb/ft of torque at just 3,800 revs. Top speed was 189mph. In total 272 cars were built, every one sold prior to the start of production in July 1984. Chassis number '53791' was delivered new to Switzerland to its first and only private owner in 1985. Finished in Rosso Corsa with Nero Daytona style seats with Rosso inserts the owner chose not to specify the car with air conditioning or electric windows, probably because of his connection with the WRC! This car is a perfect balance of condition and originality and is

Four days ago, The New York Times exposed the practice of purchasing five-star reviews on Amazon. So far, few have offered solutions. A Reddit user explains how to properly read Amazon review graphs through the cloud of purchased hype. Erin Keane calls for independent writers to hold themselves to higher standards.

I have to say it is tempting to hire people to give your book a positive review, or for that matter, any review. So far I have resisted the temptation. I have tried the honor system and find readers myself, or authors that want to do a review in exchange for one on their book without the promise that it will be positive, but with the assurance that it will be an honest reflection of their thoughts. Unfortunately, I did more reviews than I got back from other authors, but we are only talking about very low numbers. There just are too many books out and a lot of slush…it is hard to break into the world of books as a new independent author.

CNY Central Athlete- Alex Godzak
Fri, 11 May 2012 19:30:30 GMT —
Year and year out Westhill baseball is among the top programs in New York State, in fact they won the state title in 2009 and 2010 and hopes for a championship this year could rest on the left arm of Alex Godzak.
The senior southpaw for the Warriors no doubt, is Bob Weismore's ace and evidence of that, just a couple weeks ago he pitched a no hitter. The Warriors have just two blemishes on its record this season and have been the #1 team in the state for long stretches this season.
No doubt, Godzak is lighting up the stat-sheet with an ERA of 0.34 in over 41 innings pitched! Another impressive stat, he's actually struck out 65 batters in those 41.1 innings pitched.
More important than his statistical prowess though, is how impressive of an individual Godzak is. Coach Weismore raves about his ability to lead this team and keep them loose in tough situations. That ability is something that will be key for the Warriors as they compete for the program's 3rd state title in 4 years.

Lady Gaga's Real Name
Do you ever wonder what stars' like Lady Gaga's real names are? After all, who names their child 'Pink', or 'Snoop Dogg'? Katy Perry's real name isn't Katy Perry.
OMG Now reports a list of 20 stars' real names because Lady Gaga turned 25 on Monday, and her fans, known as 'Little Monsters' are interested in knowing what it is. Her stage name actually came from a mis-typed text from her producer! Her real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta.

As we all know, Angelina Jolie favors a nearly all black wardrobe and her love of dark, edgy (and maybe even a little Goth) fashion is perfect for promoting her new film, "Maleficent, and she's worked one stylish look after another — starting in Europe.
In London, she donned her signature color in a long black beaded Versace Atelier gown that was absolutely breathtaking. The dress features sheer sleeves, ruching at the waist, plunging V neckline and open back. Gorgeous pretty much sums it up.
Brad was by her side and also wore head-to-toe black. Possibly the best looking couple on earth.
In keeping with the "Maleficent" theme, Angelina wore a white knee length raven printed Versace Atelier dress with flattering ruched detailing at the waist. But she really paid homage to her villainous horned character with Christian Louboutin custom heels, which were made to look like Maleficent's horns. Pretty awesome. She paired the look with a red lip – a look you can achieve with MAC's limited edition Maleficent Collection.
Angelina also wore a version of the Louboutins in black with another all black ensemble, while promoting the film in Paris. This time she wore pants with strapless top and peplum detailing.
Her hair was loose and long and she went for a nude lip. And yes, she wore those black Louboutins again this week in Los Angeles, pairing the shoes with a black mini dress with lace. Maleficent herself would approve.

Alumni involved with international adoption programs
Waxahachie, TX – December 1, 2011 – Southwestern Assemblies of God University (SAGU) graduate history alumni Darren Sapp and Darren Lewis met through the School of Distance Education (SDE) and, through their friendship, have each started international adoption ministries.
Darren Sapp and Darren Lewis have never physically met, but are connected beyond having the same first name. They met in their second SDE course, Professor Gary McElhany's American South. The course required them to interact with their peers by reviewing essays or collaborating on a topic pertaining to the class. The two became acquainted through the course and their similar interests in history and international adoption.
After getting to know each other through Skype meetings, Sapp and Lewis began to discuss international adoption through e-mail, Facebook and phone conversations. The Sapps adopted an infant from China in 2005. In 2009, the couple adopted a seven-year-old girl from Ethiopia. His wife kept a blog during both adoptions, documenting their successes and struggles during their journey.
Lewis and his wife have been in the process of their first adoption for two years and expect another three years before it is finalized. "Darren (Sapp) became someone I could ask questions and bounce ideas off of since he had already gone through the process," says Lewis.
"We are adopting through the Philippines, which unfortunately is one of the slowest nations for the process," Lewis says. Through close family friends, Lewis and his wife became familiar with the Filipino culture, which is one of the reasons they decided to adopt through the nation.
Sapp and Lewis discussed international adoption during the multiple courses they took together after American South. Eventually, they began their own ministries.
Sapp started his ministry "Ghana Christian Alliance for Orphans" in 2009; the organization encourages churches in Ghana to find and partner with orphanages in their area. Partnered churches regularly visit orphans and support them by providing necessities such as food, clothing, education, medical care and discipleship. The alliance first promotes domestic and international adoption for the 20 percent of available orphans.
Lewis had a slightly different approach with his ministry. "There was an Assemblies of God domestic adoption ministry, but there was not an international adoption program available," says Lewis. Lewis founded Mission 1:27, an Assemblies of God (AG) adoption advocacy organization. The ministry partners with 30 to 40 AG missionaries working with orphanages, homes and street children. Mission 1:27 supplies emergency needs to the missionaries.
Recently, Mission 1:27 supplied over 100 pounds of band-aids, toothpaste and other necessities to Philippine orphanages. "The quality of medical supplies in the Philippines is not nearly as sufficient as in America," Lewis says. "We supply anything from clothing for children left on doorsteps to financial support for child victims of national disasters."
"The number one struggle that people have is that they wonder if adoption is God's will for their family," says Sapp. Another difficulty that Sapp identifies is the lack of "customer service" when going through the process of international adoption. "Many times we hear that court dates have been delayed and there is no follow-through with the proper adoption procedures," Sapp says. "It's a struggle, but families find strength in God to overcome."
Lewis believes the cost can be the greatest struggle for families interested in international adoption. "International adoptions can cost anywhere from $18,000 to $25,000," Lewis says.
Although Sapp and Lewis had struggles in the process of adoption, they remain strong in their faith. "God has been so faithful to provide through this process," Lewis says. "Every time we have had a check due to the agency, we have somehow had the funds."
Sapp and Lewis use much of their own experiences to counsel and minister to other families. "The strongest counsel I can give other families is to tell them to spend a lot of time in the Word, in prayer and in fasting," says Sapp.
Sapp and Lewis graduated in May 2011 from SAGU with master's degrees in History, although they did not have the chance to meet at their graduation.
Lewis works as a full-time youth pastor and worship leader but devotes much of his time as the director of Mission 1:27. He is also an adjunct professor at Indiana Wesleyan University. Sapp works part-time with the "The Ghana Christian Alliance for Orphans" as a ministry volunteer. The two remain connected by their desire to impact the world by changing the lives of orphaned children in foreign countries.
For more information about Darren Lewis and Darren Sapp's ministries, visit www.mission127.com and www.ghanaorphans.org.
Southwestern Assemblies of God University (SAGU) is a private, Christian university located 30 minutes south of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex in Waxahachie, Texas. The University was established in 1927, and now offers more than 60 associate, bachelor's or master's degrees on campus or online. More information is available at www.sagu.edu or by calling 1-888-YES-SAGU.

It's one of the smallest restaurants we'd ever seen.
But making the five table eatery on Montgomery's motel row a paying proposition hasn't been a tiny task, says co-owner Anil Joshi, who juggles life as a Calgary Transit driver with serving customers.
But since he and his partners took over the eatery last spring, their fortunes have been rising, helped along by buffet gigs at the nearby Alberta Children's Hospital, says Joshi, a native of the New Delhi area in his Indian homeland.
Our introduction to the 'Flames' wares came off slightly slowly with an order of their fish pakoras ($10.95).
They weren't overly battered and the flavour was there, but the three of us agreed we preferred a crispier result.
The duo of dips was an inspired choice that really meshed with pakoras - one of mint the other a thick coriander confection.
We sought the beef kabobs but Joshi revealed they were out of that ingredient, so we settled easily enough for the lamb version ($11.99).
They arrived on a hot plate billowing steam and smoke, a bed of shredded cabbage blackened by the heat.
And they were a spicy, fragrantly seasoned treat served with another dose of mint sauce that had us wanting more.
Our entrees all showed up at once in their compact metal bowls , along with a tasty coconut rice pulao ($3).
The fish curry ($12.99) offered moist cubes of seafood bathed in a tomato-based sauce reminiscent of butter chicken.
Shot through with slivers of ginger, this was a silky smooth-textured delight.
We decided to forego our usual preference for eggplant by turning instead to the baingan bharta ($11.99).
This was a savoury-sweet blend of okra and an onion-based masala or Indian salsa and an excellent vegetarian selection.
Tandoori Flames' bhoona lamb offered big, tender chunks of meat in a rich gravy studded with red and green peppers and onions accented with ginger.
Chilies gave this delicious lamb stew an understated spiciness.
But winning the nod among a stellar cast of entrees was the chicken bharta ($12.50).
We dug into a creamy mix of ground tandoori chicken flavoured delicately with ginger, garlic and cilantro blending into a slight sweetness.
Mopping up the delicious remnants was a pleasure with the help of a basket brimming with steaming hot, butter naan bread ($3.98)
Each of the dishes was distinct in its flavour with none of those tastes overlapping from one to the next.
This was rich food and the small appearances of the dishes misleading. We had enough left for another meal.
Justice would see business at Tandoori Flames heating up.

Last year was a horrible one for
There were all those debt and legal issues – including a bit of a fight, since sorted, with former Australian Competition and Consumer Commission boss
And to add insult to injury, the pair even fell off the BRW Rich List.
So the Prince thinks it's only fair to celebrate a rare bit of good news for the two Davids.
It all related to another play of theirs, in an industry they've long had success in – petrol. Goldberger and Wieland own the Liberty Oil chain of independent fuel outlets, which recently lodged its financial accounts with the corporate regulator. How did it go? Lo and behold, it registered an increase in net profit and revenue for the 2011 financial year! That's right, while the two Davids were copping a hard time regarding all things DFO, Liberty Oil was still performing well.
Revenue was up an impressive 18 per cent to $694 million while net profit went up to $1.8 million, from about $1.3 million.
The dividend paid to the two Davids also went up to $1.8 million, from $1.3 million.
All well and good. And fair enough, too, that Liberty made loans worth $19.25 million to "director-related entities" during the 2011 financial year. After all, the directors had been through tough times during the year.
So the Prince hopes it's onwards and upwards from now on.
