Shortly after DUSA acquired Nicomide through its merger with Sirius Laboratories, Inc. in March 2006, the FDA announced the strengthening of its efforts to enforce and implement its policy entitled "Marketed New Drugs without Approved NDAs or ANDAs" which seeks to ensure that certain prescription products, like Nicomide, which were historically marketed without approved FDA pre-market applications, comply in a timely manner with current regulations.
DUSA has placed a voluntary hold on existing inventory of Nicomide under its control pending an upcoming meeting with the FDA. The disposition of this inventory will be determined by the outcome of the meeting. In parallel, repackaging efforts are underway to re-label additional inventory with DSHEA (Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act) compliant labeling.
The company's total revenues for the full year ended December 31, 2007 and three-month period ended March 31, 2008 were $27.7 million and $7.9 million, respectively. Of the total revenues for these periods, $9.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively, were derived from the sale of Non-Photodynamic Therapy (Non-PDT) products. Nicomide represented the substantial majority of DUSA's Non-PDT revenues in both periods. The company expects both the price and volumes of the Nicomide DSHEA labeled product to be considerably less than historical Nicomide levels.
"After reviewing various options, this commercial strategy, in light of the current regulatory environment, will allow DUSA to explore new marketing channels, product categories (DSHEA) and the possible sale or licensing of the product in order to meet strong product demand while DUSA complies with FDA policy guidelines," said Bob Doman, President and CEO of DUSA. "The company's focus has and will be to maximize revenue across its entire product portfolio which includes Levulan(R) Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) and to continue to explore new strategic opportunities that will position DUSA as a leader in the dermatology community."
About DUSA Pharmaceuticals
DUSA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is an integrated dermatology pharmaceutical company focused primarily on the development and marketing of its Levulan(R) Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) technology platform, and complementary dermatology products. Levulan PDT is currently approved for the treatment of Grade 1 or 2 actinic keratoses of the face or scalp, and is being studied for the treatment of acne. DUSA's other dermatology product is ClindaReach(TM). DUSA is also researching additional indications for internal uses of Levulan PDT including oral Leukoplakia. DUSA is based in Wilmington, Mass.

Forward Looking Statements
Except for historical information, this news release contains certain forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risk and uncertainties, which may cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the statements made. These forward-looking statements relate to the disposition of inventory, expectations regarding the price and volumes of a relabeled product, beliefs concerning commercial strategies, focus for the business and position in the dermatology community. Furthermore, the factors that may cause differing results include the uncertainties of regulatory action, ability to market the product with DSHEA labeling, availability of capital, compliance with regulatory regulations, and other risks identified in DUSA's SEC filings from time to time.

Lenovo becomes the king of PC
According to Sina Tech, Data from market research firm IDC and Gartner shows that Lenovo defeats Hewlett-Packard to become the largest PC manufacturer in the world In the second quarter , global PC shipments dropped by 11%, the fifth consecutive quarter of decline.
In October 2012, Gartner ranked Lenovo as the world's largest PC manufacturer, but IDC data ranked HP as the largest PC manufacturer. However, the rank of largest PC manufacturer between IDC and Gartner has no difference this time.
Gartner's data shows the shipments of Lenovo PC were less than 12.7 million units in Q2, while HP had a shipment of 12.4 million units which was slightly less than that of Lenovo, The market share of the two companies are about 16% for each. In the second quarter, worldwide PC shipments were 76 million units. HP's shipments dropped by nearly 5%, while Lenovo's shipments fell slightly as well. Dell ranked the third, its PC shipments were less than 9 million units, down by about 4%. Acer and Asustek ranked fourth and fifth, their PC shipments were down by 35% and 20% respectively.
IDC's data shows HP's PC shipments fell nearly 8% in the second quarter. The top five PC manufacturers are consistent with Gartner.
Mr. Yuanqing Yang, Lenovo's chairman and CEO, said: "Even in the most severe ever PC market environment, Lenovo not only achieved a market share of the growth, but also gradually improved profitability. We have produced innovative products in each market segment. The battle for PC leadership could certainly still go back and forth, but I am confident that the global PC market still has enough space to support profitable growth and innovation breakthrough. "
Mr. Yuanqing Yang tries to convince us that PC is not dead, although it's facing the hit from mobile Internet. They want to attract users by innovation on PC and he expects the PC market to boom in the future.
Hewlett-Packard said in a statement: "We don't like being No. 2 and we don't plan to stay there,. We support multiple operating systems, multi-dimensional and multi-architecture, which we believe will attract users and drive share up. We also focus on creating a profitable business. "
The battle for PC leadership could certainly still go back and forth. But it seems this is not what consumers care most about now. Consumers may be more interested in the battle between Android and iOS. This can be seen from the news on each release new Android or iOS.

text: So we just got back from our first California adventure! Hollywood Universal Hollywood DisneyLand Drive up the 1, stop in San Simeon Drive up to San Jose - Winchester House San Francisco. It was on this trip that I realized who in our party of 8 was afraid of heights. Suffice it to say there was a moderate amount of white knuckles and panic while driving up route 1. It was also foggy, so it looked like the end of the world up there. Pretty though.

"Exhibition graphics" is a broad term for lots of different individual services. In a nutshell; exhibition graphics includes the generation of display artwork, the printing of your artwork in a finish of your choice, and the installation of the finished artwork on a stand to create a branded display.
Exhibition graphics are not limited to just the artwork on your stand walls. It can also include your name board (if you have a shell scheme stand), roller banners, free standing cut outs, LED light boxes, cardboard furniture and even printed floor artwork. Why get graphics printed?
Printing your exhibition artwork is the best way to appeal to visitors in the aisle. A brightly coloured display will attract more visitors to your stand than if you left your stand blank.
Having your graphic artwork printed isn't just about your logo, it's about conveying your message visually; building interest in your offering and engaging visitors. Exhibiting is all about communication, so kicking the conversation off with a great visual display is the perfect way to start.
Making your exhibition experience easy is our top priority. So what do you gain by choosing us?
We've all seen those exhibitors that arrive at an exhibition with a worn out old roller banner and tattered posters stuck down with tack. The fact is that they're wasting a fantastic opportunity by taking a poor attitude towards their appearance – which is great for you at least.
You don't need a bottomless budget to make a visual impact, just some imagination and the right tools. Try adding vinyl transfers to your flat surfaces – walls, cupboards, table tops etc. – to capture a visitor's attention. Logos look particularly good in vinyl, and it's relatively inexpensive, plus you can vinyl coat surfaces in a single colour to break-up the standard white of a shell scheme.
Adding printed panels or seamless wall sections can, if tastefully done, stop a visitor in their tracks. But what if everyone has great looking artwork hung on their walls? If you look at any good stand built on a space only plot, you'll notice that their branding and messaging extends down to the floor as well.
You don't need to have a space only stand to make the most of your floor space .You can have graphics cut into your carpet (great if you've set up a selfie spot) to give instructions or influence footfall, some organisers even give you the option to design your name board too.
Add your own graphics to every surface of our branded furniture range. Not only is our 100% recycled Re-board range a great choice for the environment, it gives you the opportunity to create your own bespoke branded feature pieces. Read more on our furniture hire page.
The build-up to an exhibition can be hard work, so you deserve a break before your exhibition opens. You won't need to arrive and start putting up artwork around your stand, our graphics team will take care of all that for you. In fact, any service that you hire from us will be taken care of without you having to lift a finger.

This post was written by Hatchet reporter Lauren Grady
David Westin, former head of ABC News, said at an event Thursday that journalists need to return to the basics to deliver objective content.
In a world of instant media commentary, Westin said journalists need to maintain the ethical standards the profession was founded upon and avoid making unfounded conclusions in a dash to be first with a story.
"Journalists have a tendency to draw immediate conclusions about long term trends and I'm very reluctant to do that," Westin said.
Westin led the ABC News company from 1997 to 2010, overseeing some of the nation's most-watched programs, including ABC World News, Good Morning America and 20/20. He released a book this May called "Exit Interview," in which he chronicled his experience reviving and running the network.
Westin said he is unsure how social media will change in the next few years, but said audiences will inevitably have to take more of an active role in their news consumption and know what information is credible.
"We all need to be our own editors," he said.
School of Media and Public Affairs director Frank Sesno said in an interview after the event that he wanted to bring Westin to campus because of his role shaping media coverage for one of the largest U.S. news outlets.
"[Westin] has reached, influenced and informed millions of individuals," Sesno said.

New York City's second annual Sketchfest starts this Thursday with three days of performances from the best groups not only in the Big Apple, but across the country. I talked to Alex Zalben about what people can expect from this year's fest and how to enjoyably endure seeing every show in the festival.
What are some of the newcomers to the festival that you are most excited about introducing to New York?
It's like you're asking me to choose one baby over the other… But I'll try. Cody Rivers show is fantastic. They've been performing together for only a short while (relatively speaking), but have blown up on the sketch scene in the past year, and I can see why. Their show walks this incredible line between ridiculously surreal premises that could be mistaken for experimental theater, except for the fact that they each have a clearly defined idea behind them, which brings them into the realm of sketch. Fempyre is a rock duo from LA, and they are hilarious, rocking, and not to be missed. Slow Children at Play are awesome. They're still in college (at Boston University), but are so polished and funny, we had to take them into the festival. I think their tape made me laugh the hardest out of the over 100 submissions we got. And American Dream from Chicago are excellent, just really well done, solid sketches.
Are there any targets that seem to be common across sketch groups this year? Does anything thematically tie some groups together?
I think that comedy targets are in a little bit of a transition period right now. Two years ago, it was definitely political humor. Last year, people were all abuzz with The Aristocrats about dirty or blue humor. With that faded away, I think something new hasn't filled that void yet. If I was to guess, I would say that it's not a target, but an approach that's on the horizon. The rise of shorter form programming on the web has been an incredible boon to sketch comedy. People don't want to see 22 minute shows, or ever 15 minute shows. They want three to five minute content. Who has that? Sketch comedy groups. That's how we structure everything. It's yet to be seen how it will fall out, but people are catching on very quickly that what they want for their next-gen programming in sketch. Conversely, I think there's a huge push in the sketch community to embrace the theatrical aspects of comedy. It's fine and good to stand their and tell jokes, but people are realizing that what makes sketch different is that it's theater. You have props, characters… Why not take it to the logical extreme, and actually work on blocking, stage presence, pauses, etc. They're two very different directions people are going in, and I'm excited to see how both go. Also, lots of jokes about bears.
Does the potential for industry attention change the tone of the fest at all?
I think it certainly puts the heat on the performers to put on the best show they can, which is not necessarily a bad thing at all. That being said, there's a concerted effort on the producers part to not make this an industry supermarket. When we first decided about the festival, we picked and chose pieces from other SketchFests around the country, and what we enjoyed about each of them. The one constant is that they are full of a great, supportive, positive community of people who, more than anything are there to check out as many shows as possible, and laugh and clap whenever they can. So that was our number one priority: making this a great experience for the performers, making sure that all they have to worry about is performing, and we can take care of the rest (getting them into the shows, feeding them, being as prepared technically as possible, etc.) So to that end, we take care of the industry and press behind the scenes, in the same way, and just let the artists deal with the positive fall out.
How do you balance out sketch performers to make the most diverse festival possible?
The really great sketch groups all have a very unique filter on life. Monty Python sketches couldn't have been written by Kids in the Hall, Saturday Night Live sketches wouldn't fit on The State, and so on. They might use the same premise, or idea, but their approach would be entirely different. We're looking for those groups that have as unique an approach as possible. A good example would be Ten West, who have very clear ideas, but all of their sketches are performed in a clowning style of theater. To be even more specific, MEAT (all-female) and Elephant Larry (all-male) could write two sketches that start with the same idea, but there's no way that they would be the same in execution, because they're coming from entirely different life experiences.
When we get down to it, we're looking for a couple of things. First and foremost, does it make us laugh? You have a group of people in a room watching your tape, and we're not going to laugh that much if we've seen those sketches before. Laughter comes from surprise, and the people on the viewing jury have all seen a ton of groups from all over the country. So if you surprise us, we're going to laugh, and then there's a good chance you're going to get into the Festival. After that, things like rep & recommendations come into play, which is what I like to call the "are you ready?" factor. There's a number of young groups that are good, but have the potential to be great. So we ask them to submit again the next year, and see how they've progressed. Finally, despite what I said at the beginning of this rant, there are occasionally groups that are exactly like other groups. That's a very hard call to make, and it's where the other factors come into play. If a group is totally hilarious, but like another group, we'll probably take them, and figure out a way to separate their shows as much as possible.
That lengthy discourse being said, we then try to schedule the groups so you're getting as much diversity as possible. Just looking at Thursday night, you have a totally surreal duo, y a group that does hilarious cartoons, a romantic comedy about the isreali-palestinian conflict paired with a vampire rock duo, etc.
So there's three nights like that. It should be pretty amazing.
Do you have any advice for any who are attempting to see every show in the fest?
Go for it. You'll be tearing your hair out afterwards with lack of sleep, but I think it'll be an incredible, eye-opening experience. We do spend a lot of time planning the schedule, with the idea in mind that some people will hang out for a chunk of shows. So if you hang out for the whole fest, I honestly don't think there's one hour that will be like the next, which will be totally different from the next one. Oh, and buy an extra festival pass for your vat full of Red Bull.
Sketchfest has spread from Seattle across the country. How connected are all the events?
They're connected by the fact that we all love each other's festivals, and respect the individual approaches each city takes. There's always some preliminary talks of some sort of more concrete affiliation, but that's a few years away. However, we all chat to get recommendations on groups (positive and negative), and freely exchange information. It's in everybody's best interest that all the sketchfests do fabulously.
How can somebody in a city not currently holding a Sketchfest establish one?
When we were setting out to start SketchFest NYC, I'd say there were about four to five years before I felt we were ready for it. Reason is, there was no real sketch community in NYC. You need that solid backbone for the whole thing to work, otherwise, what's the point? As of two years ago, we finally had a bunch of groups in NYC who had been around for more than a year. We all knew each other, liked each other, and respected the work each other were doing. So the time was right. Beyond that, making sure you have a sketch friendly venue, a great staff (there's no way any one of the producers involved in SketchFest NYC could have done this alone), and a line-up you really believe in. Also, you probably need large mounds of cash.
Do you have any idea how vile the craptacular will be? Will barfbags be provided?
Crap refers more to the quality of the material than the props used onstage… Some of the sketchfests have a late night sketch jam like this, where people perform the material too ridiculous, inside-jokey, or just not like what they normally do in a show. So we gave it a name that I think properly reflects that.
With two shows in the fest and as a producer of the whole shebang, how sleepy will you be on Monday?
Who says we're stopping on Monday? Party at my place!

1 July 2002 Timaru Herald
Mollé Pottery
A life of summers spent fishing and gardening lives on in the late Molly Goodsell's pottery. Her hand-crafted bowls and plates were carefully moulded to take the shape of tree stumps, leaves, and fish. The Opihi woman had a distinctive style and she drew on natural themes for inspiration. A selection of these works are on display at the South Canterbury Museum. Molly's introduction to pottery began in the late 1940s when she was unable to find suitable containers to put her cactus plants in. When her daughter brought some clay home from school Molly soon found she was able to make exactly the pots she wanted. From here her efforts quickly grew into a commercial activity and together with her husband Bill she started making pottery for sale. She named her work Mollé Pottery, adding her distinctive signature at the bottom of each piece.
Molly would also produce one-off items made for friends and family. Museum director Philip Howe said Bill would often make clay creatures like snakes, frogs and geckos which Molly would incorporate into her designs. Her pottery progressed to include kitchen ware. Large leaves were often pressed on plates to create patterns and texture, and this became a theme of her work. The Goodsells shared a passion of fishing, gardening, art and craft. They developed a lifestyle of summers spent fishing and winters spent producing pottery. Together they built up their home, called Pondery, producing a distinctive landmark, with an ornamental garden, cactuses and fish ponds. They were very hospitable and encouraged groups to visit. Many of the pieces in the exhibition are from local collector Jeff Elston's private collection. The remaining pieces have been loaned to the museum by Molly's family.

pottery on display
The exhibition will feature some items from the collection of early New Zealand pottery specialist Jeff Elston, with the emphasis being on the South Island and in particular the central regions of the mainland. Jeff started collecting nearly 30 years ago and has built up one of the largest collections in the Southern Hemisphere. It is based on some of the oldest commercial and studio based potteries found in New Zealand over a 140-year period. The collection amounts to more than 250,000 individual pieces of NZ Pottery and will form the basis of a National Ceramics Museum, based in Jeff's home town of Timaru. Some of Jeff's collection has featured on national television, namely the Auction House programme in 2005 and 2007. He will bring together some never before seen pieces for this show, one of which is an intricate piece made and modeled by Thomas Lovatt of the Temuka Insulators. This Plinth & Globe is a representation of Lovatt's connection to Mother England and the delicate bisque porcelain of the Wedgwood factory. Lovatt's detailing of Walt Disney's Donald Duck, can be seen in this well designed work. These items were given out as prizes for the kid's races at the staff picnics. To avoid any copyright infringement, he called this ... Sailor Duck. The exhibition will feature works by New Zealand's first commercial "folk-art" potter Mary Florence Goodsall, better known as Molle. Her works were amusing creations, handmade and fired at either the Timaru or Temuka pottery kilns. Her style was unique and is highly collectible today. She maybe remembered for her exhibitions held in the Ashburton Plunket Rooms during the 1950s or by the women of the Women's Institute who visited her pottery at the Opihi River Reserve. She was a breeder of birds and fish and had an amazing set-up at her pottery home called Ponderay. There will be items from the Temuka and Timaru potteries, Milton, Luke Adams [Christchurch) to name but a few.

Aug. 2011. A housewife was introduced to the art 30 years ago. Although it was intended only to be a hobby, it became much more than that. She spent two years going to night classes. However, as a mother of five, time at the wheel was limited to just two hours a week. "I knew that if I wanted to achieve, I needed to get a wheel. At that time I was young and my children were young so I didn't have a lot of time to make pots but I knew I would find time later on. When my youngest went to school I was full on (making pots) then." She said pottery had been a great form of therapy over the years, providing her with the opportunity to spend quality time doing something she loved without interruptions. However, she said it was the people she had worked with and met since taking up the art that had made pottery enjoyable. "I've had a great time."

General News of Wednesday, 27 February 2013
Source: Daily Guide
The ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) yesterday filed its amended response to the election petition filed by the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) on February 12, 2013, describing it as "frivolous, and vexatious".
The amended process filed by the NDC, and available to DAILY GUIDE, is in response to the December 28, 2012 election petition filed by the NPP and amended on February 12, 2013.
In the amended 27-paragraph response, aided by an affidavit endorsed by Johnson Asiedu Nketia, General Secretary of the NDC, the ruling party stated that the NPP's amended petition is an abuse of the processes of the Supreme Court.
"In bringing this petition before the Honourable Court, the Petitioners are acting in bad faith and the Petition is frivolous, vexatious and an abuse of the process of this Honourable Court," the respondents stated.
The NPP had submitted "overwhelming evidence" from 4,709 stations across the country where it believed massive irregularities were overlooked by the Electoral Commissioner (EC).
But early February, the NPP told the Supreme Court that it had uncovered more irregularities in approximately 11,916 polling stations out of the more than 26,000 polling stations where Presidential and Parliamentary elections were conducted in December 2012.
The NPP thus sought leave of the Supreme Court to amend its earlier petition to include the new evidence.
The Court agreed; and the NDC, which had earlier responded to the old petition, also applied to amend its response.
Keeping Up Appearance?
The NDC, in its response, said it is convinced that the NPP's move to amend its petition is akin to creating an appearance of a real issue when there is none. "…Not only are the grounds for challenging the validity of the Presidential elections of the 7th and 8th days of December, 2012 unfounded, particulars of the categories of alleged irregularities set out by Petitioners clearly overlap, and therefore, adding the votes in these categories as the Petitioners have done amounts to double/multiple counting and is part of a pattern of obfuscation resorted to by Petitioners to create an appearance of a real issue when there is none."
Originally, the NPP filed its petition based on evidence from 4,709 polling stations nationwide and a resultant questionable votes of a little less than one million out of the 10.9 million votes cast during the elections.
However, the NPP explained to the apex court of the land that it had discovered more irregularities affecting almost 12,000 polling stations with votes of up to 4,670,504 out of the 10,995,262 "valid" votes cast.
The NPP argued that when it made its discovery, it had to quickly present the evidence at the time to be able to meet the mandatory 21 days recommended for election petitions to be filed in the Supreme Court against any election.
However, after the filing of the NPP petition, it continued to scrutinize the results which yielded more irregularities.
In the amended petition therefore, the NPP is asking the court to annul all the invalid votes in 11,916 polling stations.
Annulling these votes will take out 3,101,590 from John Dramani Mahama's total and 1,473,346 from Nana Akufo-Addo.
This will bring John Mahama's total valid votes cast to 39.1% (2,473,171) and Akufo-Addo's down to 3,775,552, making him the clear winner by 59.69%.
But the NDC response claims these calculations are bogus numbers aimed at making the NPP's case look good in the Supreme Court.

Technorati Profile [technorati.com]
I got a response from one of the authors of Core Java. I'd written to them to ask why their book implied that Perl wasn't a "real language" and what constituted a "real language" to them.
His reply hinged on two points:
So, as suspected, there was no logical argument. Just more FUD.
Oh, and if anyone's interested, I'm finding Java to be really frustrating.
Where? How? What's the most frustrating part?Oh, and if anyone's interested, I'm finding Java to be really frustrating.
The last time I looked at Java code, I was both amazed and frustrated at how much code it took to do so little. It's like the nature language demands that you create a class hierarchy at least three to four levels deep to do anything slightly more trivial than Hello, World.
Unfortunately, I haven't read much Java code, but given the size of the java-based projects I've seen, I'd say that it's more indicative of the language than the implementor's lack of skill...
That's exactly it. If I wanted my code to be as verbose as that I'd write it in COBOL

"iSteve: The Book of Jobs" was the publisher's idea. The author had second thoughts.
The first biography of Apple's (aapl) CEO to get Steve Jobs' blessing -- and cooperation -- hasn't yet been published. Or even finished. But it's already made it (briefly) into the top 50 on Amazon's bestseller list. And it's already undergone its first revision.
It's got a new title.
The old one, iSteve: The Book of Jobs, was chosen by Simon & Schuster's publicity department. The author, Walter Isaacson, was never quite sure about it. His wife and daughter, however, were. They thought it was too cutesy. And now Isaacson has persuaded his publisher to go with something simpler and more elegant:
Steve Jobs By Walter Isaacson.
The book is scheduled to be published on March 6, 2012, and is available for pre-order from Amazon (which still doesn't have the title quite right).
Isaacson is the president of the Aspen Institute, the former chairman of CNN and the former managing editor of Time Magazine. His previous biographies include
Kissinger: A Biography
Benjamin Franklin: An American Life
(2003) and
Einstein: His Life and Universe
(2007). See The man who won Steve Jobs' trust.

Some 300 tourism agents have convened in Tel Aviv for the start of a three-day "peace tourism" conference aimed at exploring and developing the industry in the region.
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Tourism Minister Uzi Baram were scheduled to open the event Wednesday at a news conference in Jerusalem.
Among those attending the first day of meetings was the former director general of Jordan's Tourism Ministry, now a personal tour operator.
He told Israel Radio that he had come for "personal reasons, to educate myself on tourism investment in the region, especially after the peace treaty between Israel and Jordan.

Credit Card Center Advertiser Disclosure†

I'm submitting a Garnishment Traverse form to the court here to try and get the percentage they are taking lowered. They are taking 25% and I truly can not afford my basic living expenses with them taking that much. Has anyone ever been successful at getting one lowered?
09-29-2010 02:00 PM - edited 09-29-2010 02:00 PM
Misses_November -
A judgment traverse request is a request to the court that the material facts of the case resulting in the underlying judgment, garnishment, or other matters are incorrect. Mostly used in the state of GA and field within 15 days of the judgment to be considered.
The % is by state law not the judges discretion.
You really should seek professional legal advice concerning this matter.
Best of luck.
While I haven't been successful in getting a garnishment lowered, I have been successful in getting one stopped completely.
I had a default judgment entered against me in 2004 for $4800 ($2200 for the original debt and $2600 in interest and fees). They waited until this year to issue a garnishment order to my employer. When I was notified of the garnishment, 25% of my discretionary income, I tried contacting the law firm to discuss a reduction in the amount. They weren't trying to hear anything I had to say and would only settle for a lump sum payment of $4200 (which I didn't have). I then submitted a motion to the court to request reduced payments; the judge told me that unless I could prove extreme financial hardship, it was at the discretion of the plaintiff, and again, they weren't trying to hear of it!
So, I hired an attorney (well, technically, I didn't hire them since they took the case at no charge). A motion was filed contesting the validity of the original judgment and requesting a dismissal. Suddenly, the law firm for the plaintiff wants to talk about settlement (go figure!). They agreed to stopped the garnishment immediately and consider anything collected thus far as payment in full (a total of $1200).
When a garnishment has been entered, they other side usually holds all the power and thus doesn't want to hear anything you have to say. Look into Legal Aid services who can assist you with this issue. Once you obtain counsel, the other side tends to be a lot more open to negotiations.

Thank you both!!
Heavanly1, you are right, I contacted the lawyers office to try and settle- the original judgment was $2450, the garnishment is for $4700!! I offered a settlement of $2500, and the paralegal that I s/w advised she would contact the original creditor to see if they would accept or counter offer. This Friday will be two weeks since that original convo and she has not heard from them yet. I will try legal aid and hopefully I can get help free, because right now, I can't even afford to buy my son fall/winter clothes!

Unfortunately the total amount owed under the judgment is determined by the courts and your state's civil procedure law regarding statutory interest. Your state's CPL also determines the maximum amount of any garnishments as a percentage of your wages. Unless the judgment creditor is considerate or you have some extremely extenuating circumstances far and above simple financial hardship, you might have a tough time convincing a court to lower the amount taken from your wages.
That said, there are a couple of things you can do that might tilt the balance in your favor. One, obviously, is bankruptcy, but that is a drastic solution. Another might be to try and convince -- better via an attorney -- the judgment creditor it is in their best interests to establish a payment plan with you that calls for lower than 25% payments. Basically you want the judgment creditor to believe that they are far from assured of getting all their money from you by being inflexible since garnishing 25% of your wages is going to force you to either quit your job or file for bankruptcy.
Another option is to attack the validity of the underlying judgment. Were you actually served when the creditor was suing you? Were you properly served? If not, you may be able to have the judgment vacated and then the creditor gets zilch. See above paragraph.
Again, I would make every effort to get legal representation as creditors often take things more seriously when they are speaking with your lawyer.

Ramblings from another nerd on the grid
Name *
Email *
That looks sweet. I have an android at the moment, switched from the HTC touch pro 2.
After moving from windows mobile to Android, and so may HTC phones coming out, Legend, Desire with exchange support ! The release dates a long way off for this, is Microsoft going to miss the boat with this one.
Having said that I've been waiting an eternity for a Zune / Xbox windows 7 phone…
If its good, I oculd see it pulling me away from WebOS/Palm.
Mainly because i know that HTC will make the hardware for some of these phones and they make better hardware than Palm. But improved exchange support and the built in zune would be pretty sweet as well.
Looks like a great improvement. Apple, Google, and Blackberry will have a long road to try to catch up. The current Windows Mobile 6.5 devices blow everything else out of the water.

All NEW 2016 Ford F-150s for Sale in Las Vegas!
Ford Motor Corporation has been on top for their truck manufacturing, especially small trucks, since April 1925. This revolutionized the auto industry. With many awards for their small trucks, as in the Ranger, there has been no other automaker that has exceeded their big and small truck sales of 800,000. It has only been Ford. With raising gas prices, the demand for little truck sales have remained the same.
Small trucks have usually have a base compact cabin that will seat just two people, while an extended cab can seat four. The configurations of the cabin will vary and could include either the standard or extended. You can also get the inside of the cabin customized to your style and have the luxury you want.Read more...
Small trucks have beds that range in size from five to eight feet long; however, if you have an extended cabin, then the bed of the truck will be somewhat smaller.
Driving Alterations
Little trucks, like big ones, can drive with either two or four wheel options. This will help if you are towing a lot of weight.
Little trucks typically have a four cylinder engine with an option for a V-6 engine. Many are manufactured with an automatic or manual transmission. If you are planning on hauling and towing the max weight limit, a V-6 engine would be the route to go. If you are purchasing a small truck to haul a few things here and there, the four cylinder engine will get the job done.
Towing and Payload
This is the heart of every small truck; how much can it carry and tow? Don't be hesitant to purchase a small truck because you do not think it can haul a lot. Little truck can haul anywhere from 1,600 pounds to more than 5500 pounds. Small trucks can also tow between 1,400 pounds and 3,400 pounds.
Small trucks are very versatile, and can be used for farming and construction to name a few. In the past, and even at times today, little trucks were looked down on because consumers didn't understand how powerful these trucks can be. Now we are starting to see a shift with small trucks. With raising gas prices, more and more buyers are looking into more fuel efficient trucks – small trucks.
Ford Motor Company has been known for their power trucks. From its strength to tow and haul thousands of pounds effortlessly, to its luxury look, you cannot go wrong with a Ford Country small truck. They still have everything that a larger truck has to offer, but much more affordable.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 1 – Beginner)
Topic: Spring (the season) (07/23/09)
TITLE: Metamorphosis
By Deana Thomas
I ruminated about my son-in-law Jeff, traveling the South, with his rock band, "The Zombies". When was he going to grow up and get a real job? He was 30 years old for heaven's sake. Meanwhile my daughter, Kara, supported the family as a secretary. I resented Jeff not taking his family responsibilities seriously.
I got that bag stuffed full of leaves, and Elizabeth was still investigating the same plot of garden. Maybe I'd better see what she was up to. I stooped down. Lo and behold, she had discovered what appeared to be a tiny piece of dirt, walking. "What is that, Elizabeth?" I asked. "It's a very weird bug, Grandma," she informed me. We watched it lumber along. It appeared to have collected odds and ends of debris and stuck them onto its back. "What is it, Grandma?" Inquiring minds needed to know. "Lets go in and get a glass of sweet tea and I'll see if I can find out." I said.
I dug out "Florida Insects, Their Habits and Control" by Lewis S. Maxwell. Well Elizabeth, it says that what you've found is called a Trashbug. "It feeds on Aphids, Scales and Mites," I read, "The larva fastens the dried shells of his victims on his back and crawls around looking like an animated trash heap." We both laughed. The entry went on: "When the young reach larval maturity, they spin a silken cocoon from which emerges the lovely Lacewing. The Lacewing is about one half to three fourths of an inch in length. It is a lovely, green, fragile insect that has golden eyes."
Suddenly I realized that I had been carrying around trash in the form of ugly thoughts toward my "victim", my son-in-law, just like the Trashbug. God was using Elizabeth's funny little bug to speak to me.
It was time to take her home. During the short drive there, I prayed, "Lord, please help me to not bear grudges and resentment toward Jeff. Help me to see things from Your perspective. In Christ's Holy Name, Amen."
Elizabeth rolled down her car window to take in the fresh spring sunshine. The phuff-tudda, phuff-tudda noise it made as I accelerated to 30 miles per hour annoyed me. I started to yell "Roll up the window," but thought better of it. It was Spring, after all! The fresh breeze blew in the car. I felt a little tickle on my finger. Yuck! It felt like a bug. It was. But it wasn't the mosquito, or fly or bee I was dreading. It was a pale, bright, neon green slender nymph with gossamer wings! A Lacewing! God had heard my prayer! I felt like He understood and would help me with the relationship between me and Jeff. A Spring thaw had started to melt Winter's killing frost in my heart.

Euro Moments: Party policies on Europe in 1983
The policies of the Conservative, Labour and SDP Liberal Alliance parties toward Europe are examined ahead of the looming 1983 general election.
Of the three, Labour, under the leadership of Michael Foot, was the only party to campaign for Britain's withdrawal from the European Economic Community (EEC) - although it was an issue that deeply divided the party.
The Conservatives, committed to continued membership of the common market, argued that the opposition's policy would isolate Britain. Its manifesto promised to shift spending away from agriculture to policies more in the national interest, and to reduce Brussels bureaucracy.
The SDP was the most pro-European of the parties; indeed it was one of the reasons why Shirley Williams, David Owen and Bill Rodgers left the Labour Party to join Roy Jenkins in forming the alliance.
The so-called gang of four campaigned for greater political development of the European community, and to take Britain into the European Monetary System.
The election, held days later on 9 June 1983, saw incumbent Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher re-elected for a second term with an overwhelming majority; a success she would go on to repeat in 1987.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016
Most companies use just about 25% of the entire ERP software that they purchase simply because most ERP systems are packed with an array of powerful features and functionalities.
But that is where the similarities end. What makes Microsoft Dynamics® NAV 2016's Role-Tailored User Experience unique, is it's ability to put all these features at your fingertips easily and quickly, while hiding 90% of the features you don't need to access out of your site.
Instead, the system promotes the features and actions that you actually use, leaving you with a clean interface and allow you to be even more productive. This is what Role-Tailored User Experience is all about.
Quite often you hear owners complaining about employees wondering in areas inside the company ERP software where they (the employees) have no business whatsoever being in there in the first place. Like sales reps who just need to access the catalogue and the order entry screen but they clearly have no business being in the manufacturing or the financial module for that matter.
Microsoft has solved this problem. Using Microsoft Dynamics NAV, company employees would usually log into a Role Center: Here, they will virtually be working in their very own user profile, seeing only their tasks, what they really need to see only, as the system will be displaying an overview of what they've done and what would be next in line. Working from the role center, employees will be more focused to their tasks, well organized, save time and utilize all the important tools that produce desirable results for your business.

"In spite of all the temptation you have endured, all the suffering, you remain pure of heart, just as pure as you were at the age of eleven, when you stared into a mirror that reflected your heart's desire, and it showed you only the way to thwart Lord Voldemort, and not immortality or riches."
Is it wrong that I'm rooting for him just because I think he is a cutie and also because I don't want another girl win American Idol?
Ya know..its hard not to be a teeny bopper and get all silly inside to see him considering I'm 39 years old but he really is gorgeous eye candy...not like Pierce Brosnan kind of elegant eye candy but more in the vein of boy band eye candy (Donny Osmond back in my day!)...I watched his AI contestant video on americanidol.com and even he says he's like Constantine...he likes Constantine's style and how far he got in the competition and then of course, the hair!
Reality is the beginning...not the end....Wallace Stevens
Oh good Lord!!! I wasn't about to fall into the "drooling over a contestant" category... I'm way too old for that. And then I caught sight of those biceps. Yowza! Come to mama! (Errrr.. better make that "Come to Grandma!")
I don't know......he's a cutie with the moppy hair-do.....not so cute with a buzz.

Imagine a time where there is an actual Final Fantasy movie. Mind you I know they would mess it up like they do with everything else, but it would be pretty awesome. My question to you all is this: Which Final Fantasy would you want to become a live action film and who would you want to play the main characters?
My personal favorite Final Fantasy game is IX. However, I would love to see a movie for 7. Advent children was so amazing and would love to see something like that with live action.
If you are not a fan of final fantasy, no big deal. Let me know what game you would like turned into a movie. Obviously everyone has heard about The Last of Us becoming a movie. Who would you want to play as Joel and Ellie? (Beyond). Gears of War would be a good one, or how about Infamous? Games like Titanfall, Halo, Darkness, Perfect Dark, and Resistance (my most wanted).
Let me know your thoughts down below!!!
Thank you!

Through train stock trading scheme 'will be ready for October start'
Treasury chief says authorities confident of solving problems facing cross-trading of HK and Shanghai shares before launch in October
The Hong Kong government will not underestimate the difficulties of the operational and cross-border regulatory challenges of the through train stock scheme between Hong Kong and Shanghai but believes problems can be solved before the October deadline to get the scheme kicked off as planned.
Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Chan Ka-keung told the South China Morning Post in an exclusive interview the stock exchanges and regulators of Hong Kong and Shanghai had stepped up efforts to work out the blueprint of the scheme as announced by Beijing last month.
Under the scheme, mainland and Hong Kong retail investors will for the first time be allowed to cross-trade stocks listed in both cities up to a total quota of 550 billion yuan (HK$683.8 billion).
Similar through train concepts emerged in August 2007 but the plan was dropped four months later as the mainland feared it would spin out of control.
Chan insisted this time would be different. "In 2007, the through train scheme was just a concept. This time, we have the blueprint, the quota and the risk control mechanism to make sure we can implement the scheme smoothly," he said.
"The government will not underestimate the difficulties of all the operational challenges and cross-border supervision and regulatory matters under the scheme. We are working on all these issues."
Chan also said he believed the deadline was achievable.
The many challenges he mentioned would include how to handle the situation when the quota runs out. Under the scheme, the cap on trades by Hong Kong investors in mainland stocks is 300 billion yuan, with a daily limit at 13 billion yuan.
For mainlanders, the investment quota in Hong Kong stocks is 250 billion yuan, capped at 10.5 billion yuan per day.
Other challenges include regulatory problems as Securities and Futures Commission staff cannot go north to supervise or investigate any market misconduct such as insider dealing or market manipulation.
Likewise, the China Securities Regulatory Commission cannot conduct any enforcement or investigation work in Hong Kong.
"The SFC and CSRC will need to step up their cooperation to see how they can do cross-border investigation or supervision. The two regulators will work out these issues," Chan said.
Local brokers said mainland restrictions limiting Hong Kong investors to exchanging only 20,000 yuan a day could cap their trade in mainland stocks.
Chan said mainland officials such as People's Bank of China governor Zhou Xiaochuan had been aware of the demand from Hong Kong to remove the exchange limit.
If the Shanghai and Hong Kong stock market tie-up was successful, he believed it might expand to other asset classes, such as commodities, or a similar link between Hong Kong and Shenzhen, which is the smaller of the two mainland stock markets.
"The through train scheme will give a new role for Hong Kong to play in the economic reform and opening up of China. It allows international investors access to the mainland markets through Hong Kong," Chan said.

We're approaching the part of the year when many major music festivals reveal their lineup. Before these reveals, music blogs and message board users do their best to figure out who's playing where before the official announcements. Sometimes this excitement leads to the spreading of false information such as the many sites that reported Prince would headline Bonnaroo 2012.
[Screengrab via Listen Before You Buy]
Over the past 24 hours word has spread that Daft Punk, Phoenix and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs will play Coachella 2013. What was the source of this information? An email from concert database site Songkick which showed those bands and The Rolling Stones aboard for the event. Someone took a screenshot of the email and word of the rumored appearances spread like wildfire. Even Rolling Stone picked it up.
Now all three bands just might appear at Coachella as both the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Phoenix have new albums due this spring and Daft Punk are always thrown around as a possible Coachella band. However you must bear in mind that Songkick users can add events pretty easily.
Here's details from the site's FAQ:
Where Do You Get Your Listings From?
We currently index over 100 different sources including all the major ticket vendors, a plethora of smaller vendors, local listings, ArtistData and a whole bunch of others.
We also allow our users to upload events so that we cover everything from the biggest sell out shows at huge arenas, right down to your mates band at the local pub.
[via Songkick]
If you happen to enter an event just before Songkick sends emails to its users, that event will show in those emails. For instance, we've received Songkick emails alerting us that Radiohead would play The Middle East in Cambridge and that Deadmau5 was headlining Ultra Music Festival last year, both of which didn't happen. In most instances Songkick will catch the erroneous/rumored dates and remove them before emails go out, but that's not always the case.
So, as always, don't believe everything you read on the Internet. A statement from Songkick about DaftPunkEllaGate reads, "Regarding Daft Punk at Coachella: this was added by mistake. There has been no official announcement. Apologies for any confusion/excitement." The official Coachella lineup is expected next month.

No confusion of the sort ever comes from HT/Glide!

Glad to see you pointed this out. I've been trying to explain to everyone that songkick isn't a viable source for this stuff. Songkick last year had daft punk playing EDC and within ten minutes it was taken down and it never happened.

Unfortunately, the majority of those who would be eligible for the draft today do not meet the standards for military service, for physical fitness and other reasons. People are the military's most important asset. But if the objective is to maintain at reasonable costs an effective military force, the draft fails this test. If the objective is to require all young people to serve their country, there are numerous possible alternatives beyond making the military the only outlet.
Some critics argue that our voluntary military does not represent the society it protects. The facts refute these contentions: Recruits come from all parts of the country, from all income levels. They are all races and ethnicities. The force mirrors our diverse society, with black and Hispanic recruits reflecting their share of the population — about 15 and 17 percent of youths, respectively — and an increasing number coming from middle- and upper-income households, Defense data show.
Some have argued for the draft as a cost-cutting measure. But this is misguided. For a given level of force effectiveness, a volunteer force is less costly than a draft force. Among the reasons: A conscripted force has a higher level of turnover. Draftees tend to serve shorter terms and reenlist at lower rates. Training costs are therefore higher, and increased training time means less operational performance time. During the draft era, about one in eight stayed after his first term; with the volunteer force, closer to one in two wants to stay. A volunteer force is also more motivated. People perform better when their service is voluntary as opposed to coerced.

I can't say I am surprised, or that I wasn't warned.
When we took Oren to the pediatrician for his first doctor's visit, his kind doctor asked us how Em was dealing with the baby's arrival. C and I answered that she seemed to be doing surprisingly well, with just a few signs of anxiety here and there.
The pediatrician looked at us with sympathy and told us that it was going to get worse, and probably quite a bit worse, in the coming weeks.
Since that appointment, Emmy has done her job proving that our pediatrician is indeed a wise woman. During our second week home from the hospital, Em developed an urgent need to be held and hugged by whomever happened to be holding (or nursing) her baby brother. During our third week home from the hospital, Em rather suddenly decided she hates school and wants to stay home with us all the time (which has made the mornings around here just DELIGHTFUL). And this past week she became afraid of the dark and pitched a huge fit when we tried to turn the lights off in her bedroom at night-night time (something we have done without any resistance for the past twenty six months).
Photo courtesy the author.
Yesterday, when I picked Em up from daycare, she asked where her baby brother was. I told her that baby brother was at Baba and Grampy's, and that we would be going to pick him up before heading home. Em then asked if it might be possible to instead LEAVE baby brother at Baba and Grampy's… like, FOREVER.
I told Em that we couldn't leave Oren at their grandparents' house, and asked why she didn't want to pick him up. Em told me she was scared of the baby. I asked what was scary about the baby, and Em said the baby made a lot of noise. She's not wrong. The baby doesn't cry ALL that often, but he does grunt and groan and make his presence known in lots of other semi-noisy ways. And when he DOES cry, he doesn't hold back.
Poor Em. My heart really goes out to her. Her whole world has changed. She used to be able to command 100% of our attention with her cute little songs and dances. Now she has to compete with a brother who cries often, nurses even more often, and poops pretty much constantly.
To be honest, I had little hope that I would be able to make Em feel better about the situation, or that I would be able to offer any words that would comfort her two-year-old brain and heart. But I told her that right now, baby brother is a baby, and he isn't much fun for her because he can't walk and he can't talk and he can't play with toys. BUT if we are patient, and we wait for baby Oren to get to be bigger, he will be lots of fun, and he WILL be able to walk and talk and play games with us.
You know what? Emmy GOT it. She started asking questions that followed this line of logic, like "when baby brother is big, we can take him to the waterfalls?" and "when baby brother is big, he can eat pizza too?" and "we can take baby brother on a choo choo train when he is big?"
Yes, Emmy. YES. If we are patient, and if we can get through these first kind of crazy chapter together, we will be able to do all of those things together, and it will be so wonderful.

Let players help with language, Pep told
Pep Guardiola has been advised to let Bayern Munich's players help him with his language skills as he prepares to take his first training session in front of an expected 25,000 crowd.
• Pep lives up to hype
• Backed to succeed
• Pep Guardiola profile
• Schaaf: Pep is ready
Guardiola - who delivered much of his first press conference as Bayern coach in German - will take the public session at the Allianz Arena.
Fans have paid €5 each for tickets to the event - moved from the training pitches because of the overwhelming demand - with the proceeds going to victims of the recent flooding in Germany.
Former Bayern and Barcelona coach Luis van Gaal told Algemeen Dagblad mastering the language would be "a crucial factor" for Guardiola. "German is very difficult to learn for a Spaniard," he said. "He should ask the players to help him out."
Guardiola told Bayern's TV channel he still had a lot to learn, adding: "I need some more time before I am able to communicate well. I hope that in six months my German will be a lot better."
But former Arsenal and Germany goalkeeper Jens Lehman gave Guardiola credit for his German, telling TZ: "Impressive! He speaks German fluently".
However, Lehmann said he believed Guardiola was "going to be disappointed, because the Bundesliga will be no real challenge for him".
Former Bayern coach Ottmar Hitzfeld said the only way Guardiola could top the club's Treble success last season would be "by winning the FIFA Club World Cup".
He explained: "Bayern is already the best team in Europe, and they will remain on top. There is no other club with a better chance to win titles in the upcoming years."
Bayern star Javi Martinez said he believed Guardiola could improve the team still further, saying: "We will learn a lot [from him]. All the Barcelona players told me he is an excellent coach."

Omnibus Appropriations Bill released by the U.S. Congress last night provides $2 million to further the Lupus Initiative, the lupus provider education program conceived by the Lupus Research Institute (LRI) in collaboration with the federal government. Expected to pass this week, the appropriation will bring total support to $6.6 million for the LRI's signature advocacy program initiated to meet the urgent need for better lupus care, particularly among underserved populations.
The new bill allocates funding to the Department of Health and Human Services to integrate the Lupus Initiative into the national healthcare system. Managed by the American College of Rheumatology, the Lupus Initiative was officially launched in 2013 by the Office of Minority Health, Office of Women's Health and the U.S. Surgeon General to improve diagnosis and reduce health disparities. As described in the report language accompanying the bill, the funding is "intended to engage healthcare professionals, educators, and schools of health professions in working together to improve lupus diagnosis and treatment through education."
"Lupus remains dangerously undiagnosed, underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed, especially in our minority communities," noted LRI CEO Margaret Dowd. "Our LRI patient advocates across America thank Congress for appropriating funds to train healthcare professionals, especially those on the front-lines, to spot this complex autoimmune disease early so patients can get appropriate care promptly."
Protecting Research in Lupus and Other Devastating Diseases
The bill also provides $29.9 billion to fund biomedical research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
"Congress listened to the LRI and the many other organizations seeking to support our national biomedical research investment. We appreciate that in a very tight budgetary environment, Congress responded to protect the science and advance lupus research," noted Ms. Dowd. "Stopping the deep cuts in NIH funding begins to address the amounts that have been lost to the budget sequestration process. The renewed commitment to scientific discovery is hopeful for our lupus patient advocates who worked hard to voice that need to their federal representatives. The LRI is proud to have made a difference."
About Lupus
A dangerous autoimmune disease, lupus affects over 1.5-million Americans, primarily young women in their childbearing years. Minority populations are especially at risk. In lupus, the immune system, which is designed to protect against infection, creates antibodies that attack the body's own tissues and organs. Symptoms include intense fatigue, joint pains, thinking and memory problems, and skin rashes.
About the Lupus Research Institute
The Lupus Research Institute (LRI), the world's leading private supporter of innovative research in lupus, pioneers discovery and champions the scientific creativity that is bringing new solutions to this complex and dangerous autoimmune disease. The LRI Coalition of patient advocacy organizations leads nationwide outreach, service and support to alleviate patient suffering while advancing the cure.
About the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation
A member of the LRI Coalition, the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation is the country's preeminent organization delivering direct patient services, public education and novel research at a national level. Founded more than 40 years ago in New York City by lupus patients and their families as the first nonprofit to serve the lupus community, it remains the cornerstone of comprehensive care in all five boroughs in the continuous battle for a Life Without Lupus.

Oklahoma State University–Tulsa and OSU Center for Health Sciences will team up to create a new facility that will be used by both Tulsa campuses.
The Oklahoma State University/A&M Board of Regents recently approved the selection of an architect and construction manager for a new medical and academic center for OSU-Tulsa and OSU Center for Health Sciences. Regents selected Dewberry of Tulsa as architect and Flintco LLC of Tulsa as construction manager at risk to design and construct a new academic building on the corner of Cincinnati Avenue and John Hope Franklin Boulevard. The team recently designed the OSU-Tulsa Helmerich Research Center.
"This new facility will provide essential space for both of our OSU campuses in Tulsa," said Howard Barnett, president of OSU-Tulsa and OSU Center for Health Sciences. "The joint project will combine the resources of OSU in Tulsa to provide a facility to benefit all our students and the Tulsa community."
Tentative concepts for the medical and academic center call for classroom space, faculty offices and areas for student services.
"As we continue to grow our class sizes in the College of Osteopathic Medicine, we'll be able to utilize the new space to best serve our students," said Dr. Kayse Shrum, OSU-CHS provost and dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine. "The joint project will provide vital space that can be utilized by both our campuses."
Representatives from OSU Center for Health Sciences and OSU-Tulsa will begin Phase I of the design process by meeting with architects to discuss the specific needs for the facility. The architects will use the input to design the facility and create a proposed budget for the project.
It's a busy time for students as they prepare to begin a new school year. To help students accomplish the final tasks on their to-do lists, OSU-Tulsa will host Saturday Enrollment Day on Aug. 18 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Advising and admission counselors will be available to help current and prospective students get admitted, enroll in fall classes, verify financial aid and scholarships and attend orientation. OSU-Tulsa's Bookstore will also be open for students who need to purchase books and other supplies.
Students may also visit advising and admissions counselors during regular business hours from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday. Fall classes start Aug. 20 at OSU-Tulsa.
Oklahoma State University has saved more than $20 million through its energy conservation efforts over the last five years. Since July of 2007, OSU has saved nearly $20.4 million in energy costs. The savings figure includes all five campuses in the OSU system. OSU in Tulsa saved more than $2 million.
Earlier this year, using OSU as a model, Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin signed into law Senate Bill 1096 that directs all state agencies and higher education institutions to achieve at least 20 percent improvement in energy efficiency and conservation by the year 2020. OSU's $20 million in energy savings represents a 19 percent improvement.

Please help Dragon Quest Wiki by adding one.
|Dragon Quest II
|Japanese name
Rubiss is an elemental spirit goddess which aids the heroes of Dragon Quest II and Dragon Quest III and is also the creator of Alefgard.
Rubiss isn't mentioned in early versions of Dragon Quest, but she is mentioned briefly in the mobile phone remakes by the Sage in the Southern Shrine who bestows the Hero with the Rainbow Drop, as well as the Sage in Cantlin who tells the Hero about the location of the Emblem of Erdrick. The two sages have the exact same dialogue, as many of the citizens of Alefgard share dialogue with other characters of the same NPC class in the aftermath of the Hero's victory over the Dragonlord.
Rubiss is located on a small island shrine south of Middenhall. She provides the heroes with the Rubiss Charm in reward for collecting the 5 Crests. When she talks to them, she doesn't appear in a bodily form, like she does in Dragon Quest III. Instead, she speaks to the hero's party in a voice-over.
In Dragon Quest III, Rubiss was overpowered by Zoma, and then cursed. Rubiss is held prisoner on the top floor of the Tower West of Kol. The heroes must use the Fairy Flute in front of the statue there in order to free her. When she is freed, she gives the players the Sacred Amulet, which is one of the 3 items needed to obtain a Rainbow Drop.
She becomes available to visit after the player obtains Lorelei's harp. She resides in an underwater shrine near the Isle of Murdaw in the real world.

We present theoretical and experimental results which demonstrate the superior sensitivity of swept source (SS) and Fourier domain (FD) optical coherence tomography (OCT) techniques over the conventional time domain (TD) approach. We show that SS- and FD-OCT have equivalent expressions for system signal-to-noise ratio which result in a typical sensitivity advantage of 20–30dB over TD-OCT. Experimental verification is provided using two novel spectral discrimination (SD) OCT systems: a differential fiber-based 800nm FD-OCT system which employs deep-well photodiode arrays, and a differential 1300nm SS-OCT system based on a swept laser with an 87nm tuning range.
