In recent years, investing in most real estate projects has generated very handsome returns. Other than the office markets in some high-tech areas, the returns on real estate have far exceeded the returns on all other investment categories. There are a variety of reasons why real estate, in general, has performed above other investment types, one of which is the unusually low interest rates. These investments included a variety of real estate types, such as single-family housing, multi-family office buildings, hotels, raw land, assisted living facilities and industrial properties. Investments were made by direct equity mezzanine funding, mezz equity and mortgages. All the investments were made with outside managers.

PRAYER IS, ABOVE ALL, A GENUINE ENCOUNTER with the Lord and with others too. It is a true relationship. A true relationship can be scary. One is afraid to fail in a relationship because of the fear of rejection. Also, one is afraid to succeed because of the many changes needed to adapt and adjust to the new situation. In a relationship, while keeping company with the significant other, one has to accept the consequences of this company. We often think that God is a miracle worker, one who magically transforms war into peace, makes the paralyzed walk, and provides homes for the homeless. He makes all things right. We expect a miracle at the particular moment we find ourselves in difficulty. We pray as though we were eloquently presenting a case before the Almighty to persuade heaven to create a totally different course of events.
Marital fists If fighting is a euphemism for your marriage, then Jamie Turndorf has something for you. The New York therapist published “Till Death Do Us Part: Unless I Kill You First,” ($14, Owl Books), a compact guide to solving conflict in your marriage. In the book she points out the most common issues that lead to marital discord are fights over money, in-laws or jealousy.

We are smack dab in the middle of a revolution. Not long ago flashlights were big things with batteries that always died right when you wanted to see something. Today you can carry dazzling hands-full of lumens in a few ounces of aluminum or polymer and know that when you push the button there will be light. I guess we owe it all to the invention of the 3-volt lithium battery because thats what runs the world of flashlights these days. There is something for just about any need from 6-volt designs with either xenon and LED bulbs to 9- and 12-volt powerhouses might be more suitable for combat carbines. LEDs are wonderful things showing up now in numerous applications because of their extremely long battery life and bulbs rated for 100,000 hours of service. LEDs give a distinctly bluish light instead of the entire white light spectrum of the xenon bulb. For short, intermittent use the xenon may be best, but if youve got to burn it for long periods the life and low heat of the LED makes it more practical Digilights are sold directly to the consumer by phone or through their Web site.
FlashlightA flashlight is a portable, battery-operated device used for illumination. A typical unit consists of one or more dry cell batteries arranged in a line inside a battery compartment that forms the handle of the light. The flow of electricity from the batteries to the bulb at the front end of the light is controlled through a switch mechanism placed between the batteries and the lamp.

The task of code drafters is facilitated when they can proceed from the assumption that a single paradigm governs the lawyers role-either a paradigm encapsulating a theory of behavior (how lawyers ordinarily act) or a paradigm encapsulating a normative ideal (how lawyers should act). When code drafters rely upon multiple paradigms (for example, lawyers should act as clients alter egos and as officers of the court), inconsistent regulatory mandates can result, and lawyers may become confused about their functions. The ABAs 1908 Canons of Ethics, which prevailed in most American jurisdictions throughout the early twentieth century, suffered from an emphasis on inconsistent ideals.1 The bar was in a state of disagreement about lawyers roles and lawyers had no point of reference for determining how to act.2 Therefore, when the ABA adopted the first concrete professional code in 1969,3 it became important for the drafters to identify an over-arching theory. By emphasizing the lawyers place in the adversarial system, the 1969 code served a forceful unifying and educational function.4 Nevertheless, an ethics codes overemphasis on a single paradigm can lead to undesirable results. It tends to produce idealized rules that either rest on counter-factual assumptions or impose obligations on lawyers that are so inconsistent with their personal incentives that violations become routine. In modern times, an exclusive focus on the adversarial ethic seems less important than in 1969 because lawyers have developed a shared sense of core obligations to clients and of the part lawyers play in the legal system. The recent history of lawyer regulation reflects a desire on the part of the bar to fine-tune the basic message of the 1969 code-to recognize more nuances than, perhaps, a single image of lawyers can accommodate.5 The task of drafting professional rules is complicated by the fact that the public perception of the bar is not unitary. Society views lawyers in many different, and sometimes inconsistent, ways. These multiple conceptions influence code drafters. In practice, the modern legal ethics codes incorporate a number of “images” of lawyers as bases, or catalysts, for disciplinary rules. Relying on these images has consequences for how the codes treat lawyers and, as a theoretical matter, for how the rules should be drafted.

Speaking of cap ex, some on Wall Street are optimistic about Advanced Micro Devices Inc.s (AMD) plans to reduce costs from its manufacturing process next year in order to remain competitive with Intel. But one market research analyst said the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based MPU maker could do even more. IDCs Shane Rau said while AMD focuses on dispelling the megahertz myth through its True Performance Initiative, it could better use the money to shift its Athlon processors over to 0.13 micron faster, or pull in its 2003 plan to utilize silicon-on-insulator technology. Finding a truer gauge of microprocessor performance would have more resonance if it came from an industry-wide consortium involving Intel, AMD, Via, Transmeta and others, Rau added.
Children shouldnt put paper roll caps, ring caps, or strip caps in their pockets. Friction can ignite the caps, causing burns. Toy caps contain a small amount of a pyrotechnic material that ignites when struck and creates a loud noise and sparks. Toy caps also pose a noise hazard. Currently CPSCs regulations limit the decibel level of caps to no more than 158 decibels. A warning label is mandatory on caps in the 138 to 158 decibel level stating “WARNING - Do not fire closer than 1 foot to the ear. Do not use indoors.”

In a rash moment, in bleak midwinter, I booked myself yet another session, the latest in my countless attempts to come to terms with air travel. It is very boring to have a flying disorder. But it is probably even more boring to live with someone with a flying disorder. For my latest appointment I went to an Australian hypnotherapist called Shareen Lovegrove - with no great expectations, I have to admit, of being induced to fly anywhere. Shareen did not ask me to picture a “happy” place, however. She explained rationally that I was in charge of my own destiny, that my phobia was misplaced and that airline pilots had a vested interest in getting the plane to its destination and also had no desire to be squashed to an irrevocable pulp. I had heard this before, but it hadnt ever had the desired effect. Until now. Two weeks later I had committed myself to a weeks holiday in St Lucia (flying time 10 hours, 50 minutes including a stopover in Antigua). The long days of winter are clearly the optimum time for a non-flyer to be persuaded to fly because, along with everyone else, we have lost the will to live anyway. So with the aid of drink, drugs and Shareens calm logic on my Walkman, I managed the flight. And in economy class, too. I was still in a bit of a haze when we arrived at our hotel, the Royal St Lucian, and quickly passed into a coma-like slumber. The following morning, I realised why I had put myself through the ordeal. I opened the French windows and there, in full technicolor, was the “happy” place of my imaginings: deserted, white sandy beach, palm trees, the glittering, deep Caribbean Sea. St Lucia is a small island, manufactured by huge volcanic eruptions, that created vertiginous mountains that rise up directly from the sea. It is green, lush and dramatic, with large swathes of its interior covered with rainforest. The temperature hardly varies from 27C throughout the year, but the heat is deflected by constant, cooling trade winds.
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (AP) — A hypnotherapist working in this eastern Idaho city has pleaded guilty to fondling two female patients while they were under hypnosis. Edward Barry Tegeler, 60, pleaded guilty on Friday in 7th District Court. He had been charged in 2006 with four misdemeanor counts of battery, but two were dropped in exchange for the guilty pleas. “I dont remember the event, but I plead guilty,” Tegeler said in court.

A survey of management holidays in the Wall Street Journal last week claimed that there is a Catch-22 for senior workers: “The enhanced mobility of wireless communications is making it harder for people to disconnect.” According to the report, numerous European high-flyers are spending the beach bars Happy Hour talking to colleagues back home on their mobiles. Technology, naturally, is to blame. The simultaneous arrival of the mobile phone and laptop means theres no escape. The only solution for hard-pressed senior executives is to switch their phones off and claim they are in a location too remote for a signal. But deputies remember - bosses deserve it, thats what they get paid for.

Private investors who use stockbrokers to advise them on their equity investments have always had problems in the performance of their portfolio. From this week, their efforts will be made easier by the joint launch between the FT-SE and the Association of Private Client Investment Managers and Stockbrokers (APCIMS) of three new indices, providing a yardstick against which to compare their portfolios performance. They will also provide a comparison basis from which investors can review their asset allocation and structure of their portfolios together with their stockbroker or fund manager. Finally, the indices aim to provide an industry-wide benchmark for assessing the performance of discretionary fund managers. Michael Read, head of fund management at Greig Middleton, and an APCIMS board member, says: “Private investors and trustees have long been waiting for readily accessible, highly visible and easily understandable benchmarks. “There is a real need for such measurement tools and I think investors will be pleased that information which has previously been available to institutional investors is now available to them cheaply and conveniently.” The three indices are based to the key needs of investors: for income, capital growth and a balanced portfolio. A survey of the model portfolios will be carried out quarterly and used to determine the weightings of the asset classes within each of the three indices. Although the survey will be conducted quarterly, the index weightings will be based on the annualised portfolio weightings, in order to maintain continuity. In determining asset allocation, the performance of UK equities will be measured by reference to the FT-SE All-Share index. Foreign equity performance will be measured by reference to the FT/Standard Poors All World Index, without UK stocks. Bonds and cash will be assessed by reference to FT-SE Gilts All-Stocks index. A sample of leading discretionary private client fund managers showed the average allocations for model portfolios changed according to whether they were income or growth producing, or balanced. Indices will be calculated by FT-SE International and both capital and total returns for private investors will be published. The underlying return calculations will assume the private investor purchases and holds the underlying stocks. Weightings will be adjusted at the end of each month to maintain the chosen weightings for the asset classes within each private investor index. Back histories will also be created, starting from 1986, in order to give a rough-and-ready reckoner of indication of historical performance. Experts at APCIMS who collaborated in drawing up the indices agree that they may not provide a perfect model for all clients. Michael Read at Greig Middleton points out: “For all sorts of reasons the construction of a clients portfolio of investments and its performance is unlikely to exactly mirror the indices. “Our benchmarks are not perfect. For example, they do not allow for a clients requirements not to invest in certain sectors of the market, nor do they take into account the capital gains tax constraints. None the less, they will be a very useful guide and will provide a good discipline for the industry. “In the main, we find our clients at Greg Middleton want to participate in growth as the market rises as well as obtaining a reasonable and growing income. “They recognise that we are not superhuman and do not expect us to achieve `top dollar appreciation all the time. They want safety and responsible investment management. “As a by-product, {these indices} will show over time how badly bank and building society deposits have served savers”

> Modeling firm Eqecat Inc. has unveiled its Offshore Energy Model to help insurers manage and quantify their exposure in the offshore energy market. The model is expected to be released in the second quarter of 2007. It covers a range of risk in the Gulf of Mexico for oil and gas platforms, pipelines and other offshore infrastructure, and can account for the removal of debris, business interruption and contingent business interruption.
Solid Terrain Modeling (STM), of Fillmore, California, has completed 17 detailed models for the National Geographic Society. In some of the models, GPS provided key data that supported the accuracy of the final products. The large, full-color, 3-D scale models of sites on Earth and Mars, and of Hurricane Floyd, are now on display at the Societys museum, Explorers Hall, in Washington, D.C. To produce a model, STM uses a matched set of satellite digital elevation and photometric data for the selected geographic area. First, the digital elevation data is used to control STMs highly-calibrated cutting machine as it carves the model into the plastic foam. Then, the photometric data is used to control STMS printing machine as it applies the satellite imagery. GPS provided orbit determination onboard the 2000 space shuttle flight that carried the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) that captured the image of Patagonia used to create the model of Patagonia shown here (bottom). In effect, GPS created all the SRTM digital elevation models (DEMs) for the mission. In the case of the Mount Everest model (shown at top above), after the DEM was created, GPS data georeferenced the photogrammetric mapping and provided current elevations for the mountain.

A friend of mine recently showed me a story in our local newspaper about a popular entertainer at childrens birthday parties. He charges $300 for a half-hour show, and parents are happy to pay — which the author attributed to the “fundamental desperation of suburban parents.” Two things about this newspaper story upset my friend. First was the fact that parents would pay $300 for a half-hour of entertainment at a preschoolers birthday party (not counting the moon bounce and the cotton-candy machine). Second was the assumption that everyone does it. “Not in my neighborhood,” says my friend. As the mother of twins, my friend is particularly concerned about keeping parties under control. She makes it a point to have a single celebration for both of her daughters, and to limit the guest list.
Also joining in on the fun were some very special celebrity guests, many of whom also wore pajamas from The Childrens Place as they walked the red carpet. Pajama partiers included Constance Marie from The George Lopez Show (who read one of her favorite stories to the children), Jonathan Silverman and his fiancee Jennifer Finnegan of CBS Close to Home (who held her own against many of the children in the video game challenge), Carlos Bernard of FOXs 24 (who kicked off the karaoke contest), former Miss America Leanza Cornett (who read one of her favorite childrens books), and Danica McKellar. The morning began with a $10,000 donation to the Starlight Starbright Foundation by The Childrens Place. It was presented by The Childrens Place West Coast Vice President of Stores, Paula Lyons to Karineh Moradian, Director of Childrens Services for the CA*AZ*NV Chapter of Starlight Starbright Childrens Foundation. The $10,000 will be used by Starlight Starbright towards hosting other fun-filled events for the children in the new year. The days activities included a magic show, arts and crafts, a pretty princess booth, a bubble show, face painting, a video game challenge, and karaoke. All of the children also left with a $50 gift certificate to The Childrens Place so they can snuggle up to even more great fashions just in time for the New Year.

2701 Wells Fargo Mortgage
FIRST-TIME buyers are having to earn more and borrow more than ever before to get on to the first rung on the property ladder. The average income of first-time purchasers jumped to pounds 18,503 in April, the highest level ever, according to figures published by the Halifax last week. These new buyers are also having to borrow at record levels, taking on an average pounds 52,846 mortgage debt to fulfil their home- owning dream. And while average house prices are rising by 3.7 per cent, first- time buyer home prices are rising even faster, by four per cent in April to pounds 53,874.
SWINGING mortgage payments isnt easy in the Bay Area with the incredibly high cost of housing here. Thats why some home buyers are turning to their parents for help with a home loan. No doubt, any type of loan made to a friend or relative can turn into an ugly mess if the borrower doesnt pay the money back for one reason or another. Private mortgages, which can be made by either a relative or friend, are legally binding and secured by the underlying real estate. The borrower signs a promissory note that sets out the terms of repaying the mortgage over a set time. The promissory note is secured by the propertys deed of trust filed with the county clerks office.

BEST HIKE WITH KIDS Nine stream crossings. Rock formations that look like gargoyles. Bighorn sheep. Need we say more? This trail follows Fourmile Creek for 10 miles, but you dont have to go all that way to see the sights. Take a lunch, pack the insect repellent, and dont forget sandals to wear on your stream crossings. Early in the spring, the water might be too high for the littlest hikers; plan a trip for summer and plan on getting wet. Off Colorado Highway 67, about six miles southwest of Divide. Managed by the Colorado Division of Wildlife; 227-5200.
BEST HIKE WITH KIDS Weve said it before, but well say it again. This hike has everything - mountain vistas, meadows painted with wildflowers, a rock canopy that will forever be called “the cave,” marshes, aspen groves, funny-shaped rocks, and a shallow stream that screams, “Step into me! I dare you!” Theres so much here that it might take your family a while to go the two miles, but its always worth the time. To get there: Take U.S. Highway 24 west to Divide; turn left on Colorado Highway 67; go about five miles and watch for Crags Campground sign. Turn left and follow dirt road to trailhead parking.

If we could find an economical way to control off-flavors and the blue-green algae that produce them, it would be a tremendous boon to the industry, no question, he says.Many producers would agree. Currently, a major obstacle to catfish sales is the off-flavor compounds produced by microscopic algae. These natural algae byproducts are absorbed into the fishes meat, giving them a muddy taste. The fish are still safe to eat, but they just dont taste good anymore.As a result, many are unmarketable, causing an extra $5.8 to $12 million in overhead costs. Thats why three times a week, Jeffers takes fish from harvest-ready ponds for flavor testing by processors.

TO ACHIEVE ITS PEARLY WHITE COLOR, most paper goes through a bleaching process that uses some of the world s more toxic chemicals. Assuming we cant live without bright white paper, does it have to be bleached with chlorine, or are there feasible alternatives? In addition, Beaton says bleaching paper with chlorine uses vast amounts of water. It takes 10.15 gallons of water to produce a six-and-a-half-ounce booklet, says Beaton. [Using a chlorine-free alternative] uses less than a half gallon per booklet. Chlorine also has side effects that are seen across the globe, sometimes in places nowhere near the paper mills that produced them. According to Greenpeace, these pollutants have been found in the Arctic, where polar bears, whales and marine mammals have elevated chlorine levels.
Authorities believe an undissolved bubble of chlorine gas burst at the surface near where they were swimming. In the second incident on July 20, a total of 13 people in Menno, S.D–a lifeguard, a maintenance worker and 11 children–were hospitalized after inhaling chlorine gas at the Menno Swimming Pool. The leak came from the pools equipment room during routine maintenance. Everyone was treated and released, but doctors said at least one child may have long-term problems due to the exposure. The third incident took place July 28 in Simi Valley, Calif. Two children were hospitalized after being exposed to chlorine gas at a YMCA pool. Fire officials said YMCA staffers were conducting routine maintenance when chlorine and acid were mistakenly mixed together and released into the water. Nineteen people complained of eye, ear or throat irritation or difficulty breathing. A 10-year-old girl and an 11-year-old boy were taken to Simi Valley Hospital for treatment and later released.

Canon have just announced three new additions to its range of multi-media projectors: the LV-7225, LV-7220 and LV-5220. Emphasis is on their 1.6x zoom projection lens with a wide angle - so a large image when the projector is close to the screen but a powerful zoom for placing the projector elsewhere. Contrast ratios are 350:1 for the first two and 400:1 for the 5220. The eight image settings are for optimum picture quality and both data projection and video projection modes are selectable between four sub-modes. Data projection can be set to standard, Hi-Contrast (for sharper graphs and photographs), custom and blackboard modes. Video projection can be set to standard, cinema (designed for watching movies in darkened rooms), custom and blackboard modes. Custom modes for both data and video allow a range of settings (including gamma, or brightness) to be manually adjusted to tailor the image to a specific environment. For conditions of low light or a darkened room, areas in the projected image that are supposed to be jet-black can be tainted with light grey if the projector lamp is too bright. An Auto Image Mode automatically compensates for this effect by continuously measuring ambient light and adjusting lamp output accordingly. This results in perfectly balanced brightness without the need for manual adjustments - even in presentations where people keep opening the doors to arrive late or leave early.
The LV-5110 and LV-7105 are small, light liquid-crystal display projectors that offer enhanced brightness and resolution features. The easy-to-carry plug-and-play multimedia projectors provide image projection capability on a screen up to 200 inches. Each projector weighs less than 6 pounds.

There is an increasing awareness of the real estate industrys complexity and its multifaceted role in the market. Of particular importance is a new understanding regarding the extent to which human capital is necessary to maintain the performance of the investment. Property and asset management are only now being appreciated as vital functions for maintaining and enhancing property value. Real estate is viewed as having investment and operating characteristics which renders it both an asset class within the investment world and a distinct business area within the real economy.(1) Consequently, the role of the asset manager is being redefined with a broader scope. To some extent, this is the result of an emphasis on strategic planning, market acceptance and long-term growth for value enhancement.This article identifies the intangible business component of real estate investing, assesses its importance and presents evidence of how it is priced in the market. Commercial real estate markets are examined along with how they are interrelated, and a static economic model, devised by DiPasquali and Wheaton, illustrates how markets reach equilibrium and the implicity of owner involvement and business expertise. The model demonstrates graphically where and how business management can affect investment performance of the asset and the implications on market equilibrium. Also the article discusses the changing role of real estate management and how value can be maintained and even added through this property function, along with evidence of pricing these intangible business assets in the secondary real estate market. Operating parallels are drawn between real estate and other companies using data from real estate investment trusts (REITs) and publicly-traded real estate companies (RECs).

The city of Washington may not require real estate salespeople to have business licenses or impose a tax license on them because Missouri law makes a distinction between real estate brokers and real estate salespeople. Tuesdays decision by the Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District, affirmed the decision by the Franklin County Circuit Court to dismiss an information and complaint filed against Daniel Barnhart, a licensed real estate salesperson, by the city. The city charged that Barnhart violated Section 605.010 of the Code of the City of Washington for failing to have a business license. But Barnhart argued that he couldnt be required to get a business license because the Missouri Code of State Regulations prohibited him, as a salesperson, from maintaining an office. The circuit court and the appellate court agreed.

COLOUR MASTERCLASS How soon before my holiday should I colour my hair? Having your hair coloured gives it body and shine, so the closer to your departure date, the better. But remember, you need to seriously protect your hair to stop the colour fading. If youre not prepared to do this, leave your colour appointment until you come back, otherwise youre wasting your money.
CHRIS EVANS: The hair colour may be edging towards grey, but Chris is as colourful as ever.
What should I consider when going for a change of colour? You must ensure your hair is in good condition before embarking on a change of colour and ensure you choose a shade that suits your complexion. For example, cool complexions should opt for ash shades and plummy/mahogany reds, and warm for golden blonde, soft coppers and rich chestnuts. There are several products on the market, some of which are excellent. Wash-in coloured mousses and semi-permanent colours can be fun to experiment with. However, leave the more technical procedures, such as highlighting, to a trained hairdresser.

There have been many milestones in model design throughout the history of R/C model flying- To choose the most important models-those that had the biggest impact on the hobby– would be a difficult task. I can think of a number of models in many categories that would qualify as “new and important” developments. What really makes the Big Guff a milestone is not the model itself. It was a combination of the model, a reliable radio system and the Goods efforts to demonstrate them for the purpose of obtaining dedicated, hobby– related radio frequencies. If not for the Good brothers, we would not have received our first radio channel (27.225MHz) as soon as we did: March 1952. It is good to know that historians have acknowledged the importance of the Big Guff and have given it a place in the Smithsonians Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. (A replica of the Big Guff hangs in the AMA Museum in Muncie, IN.) In the 1940s and early 1950s, most R/C models were no more than controlled, free-flight models, and we could fly only one model at a time on our single radio channel. Generally, the only control was a sequenced rudder (right, neutral, left, neutral, etc.) controlled via a push-button on the transmitter. Throttle control (when it was used) was obtained with dual ignition points. Remember, the glow plug didnt come along until 1947.

Measuring instruments of the future will have to be up to six times more accurate than they are today and must live outside the PC. Thats what Keithley Instruments (Cleveland) found when it surveyed 301 process and test engineers recently. “Engineers in plants and design labs all see making rapid, repeatable measurements as a critical technology,” says Michael Minneman of Keithley. As for speed, measurement systems must collect their data-without sacrificing resolution or sensitivity-without slowing the production line. Though only 23% of the engineers surveyed require more than 1000 readings/sec, 30.5% say they will soon need that speed, and 12% expect they will need speeds as high as 10,000 readings/sec. At these levels, its clear that computer-controlled devices will do most of the measuring.
Up here in legally metric Canada, the dust has long since settled from the switch to metric, and we are enjoying a hybrid version of the two systems. The liter and its fractions have vanquished quarts, pints, and gallons, while the pound is still holding its own in things such as pro duce. After a valiant effort to change recipes to milliliters, cookbooks have gone back to the old cups and teaspoons. Packaged foods and temperatures are fully metric, along with gasoline and posted speeds, but most people still use inches and feet. After the initial trauma of the change, the present state seems a comfortable compromise.

TORRANCE, Calif. — In a special July issue, LCT Magazine has broken new ground in the limousine industry by naming not only the largest fleets in America, but also a Whos Who list in chauffeured transportation. LCTs Whos Who includes Mike Bedard of Ford and Vince Wolfington, chairman of the board of Carey International.
Through this custom integration, Odyssey, the predominant ground
transportation back-office system in the US, will now make mobile credit
card transactions available to users at the point of sale — providing
real-time authorization, immediate payment, reduced transaction fees,
increased productivity and an even higher level of professional customer
service. “GT3 is always striving to improve operational efficiencies within
the transportation industry. This integration increases the benefits and
savings our customers get from Odyssey. The best part of this solution is
that the driver can complete the entire transaction before the passenger
leaves the car, and it all ties back into Odyssey,” stated Apurva Patel,
Chief Executive Officer of GT3. The initial product will be available for
use with RIM BlackBerry(TM) handhelds.

MobileCharge.Net, the wireless point-of-sale software from MobileVision, is
bundled with IPCs integrated mobile credit card swipe and thermal printer
hardware (model PP55-MS) and works with wireless PDAs running RIM
BlackBerry(TM), Palm(TM) or Windows Mobile operating systems. This turn-key
solution gives service industry and mobile sales professionals the ability
to take secure, real-time transactions in the field. Direct connections to
merchant providers, processors and gateways allow MobileCharge.Net to bring
secure credit card processing (and other functions normally performed by
back-office staff) to the workforce at card-present transaction rates –
resulting in immediate cost savings for end users.

MobileVision, a preferred software partner of IPC, worked closely with IPC
and GT3 to seamlessly integrate IPCs mobile hardware and the
MobileCharge.Net point-of-sale software with the Odyssey back-office
management system. This new addition to Odyssey is extremely simple to use
and will become a vital part of the daily business process for ground
transportation service providers.

For more than a decade, Brian Peters has been a key link between the state and employers looking for worker training and development programs. As director of the division of business services for the state Department of Labor and Workforce Development, Peters oversees operations ranging from one-stop career centers to outplacement services for laid-off workers. The divisions latest venture is assisting the Community College Consortium, a group formed last year to develop and market company training programs. Peters, 55, discussed the consortium and the role of his division with Managing Editor John Greenwald. Peters: Its an initiative the colleges have been pursuing for some time to bring together the various 19 colleges under one leadership-in this case Bob Bowman, who had been successful in forming a similar consortium in Pennsylvania-for purposes of marketing themselves to the business community. It stems from [the governors] Executive Order 81, which boosted the colleges role in corporate training and provided them more access to the economic development agencies at the state level, such as the Economic Development Authority (EDA) and the Commerce and Economic Growth Commission. The consortium works with our department for many of the customized training programs that we provide to companies. NJBIZ: Whats an example of the consortiums work?

Are you getting enough antioxidants? The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest we eat more whole-fruits to get the nutrients we need. Some 100% juices are an abundant source of valuable antioxidants providing busy consumers an easy way to boost the level of natural antioxidants in their diet. Dr. Liz Applegate, the director of sports nutrition at the University of California-Davis, explains some benefits related to including healthy sources of antioxidants in your diet.
New dietary reference intake levels have been set. The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) has established the following dietary reference intake levels for vitamins C and E and selenium: The NAS also cautions against taking megadoses of these antioxidants, which could lead to potentially serious side effects.

Aqua and taupe make this bath anything but ordinary. Fresh, cooling hues, inspired by sandy beaches and azure waters, rejuvenated this sunny space. The redo came after Hurricane Ivan pounced on the home of Connie and Rodney Handle in Gulf Breeze, Florida. While the couple was repairing the damage, they made other improvements too. Among them-a more spacious master bath. With designer Cheryl Kees Clendenon of Pensacola, the Randies chose luscious aqua to be the star attraction of the space. Through a high horizontal window, the walk-in corner shower offers a picture-perfect view of boats docked behind the house. The shower, like the floor and tub surround, is surfaced in creamy beige travertine. A tall pane of opaque glass, situated in the wall above the tub, gives the shower more light. Plantation shutters on the windows offer privacy.
I realised I didnt want to be a spaceman when I entered the Mir space station. As the hatch closed behind me, I knew that spending the next six months in this pressurised bath tub would stretch my right stuff to infinity - and beyond. Luckily, I could walk right through Mirs claustrophobic cabins and exit by the back door. It was a brilliantly sunny, but bitterly cold March day and our guide enthusiastically introduced us to the pleasures of cosmonaut training. There was the giant centrifuge machine where trainees would be spun in a chair to many times the force of gravity in an attempt to eject the contents of their stomachs. People who have done this say that they literally see a red mist descend as blood is forced into their eye sockets. Then there was the water tank where prospective cosmonauts wearing the thick mittens of a mock space suit would be given a set of spanners and told to fix a broken air lock - underwater, while working with a limited supply of oxygen. Its the sort of task that might nowadays be made into a television game show. Having the right stuff is, of course, the essential prerequisite of going into space. Yuri Gagarin, the first man to orbit the Earth, must have had heaps of it. Unfortunately, we were given only a sanitised description of his rather exuberant life at Star City. We saw the immaculately tidy office he is supposed to have left behind, with the clock permanently fixed at the time he died in an air disaster. But his drinks cabinet was strictly out of bounds.

Construction of new homes, primarily in La Quinta, continues to dominate the Coachella Valley construction industry.With La Quinta issuing permits for 103 homes valued at $18,020,040, the valley toted up $58,789,335 in building valuations during November, a slight increase of .07 percent over last November.Again, La Quinta stood at the top of the chart, followed by Palm Desert with a $16,452,036 November total.In all, permits for 196 homes totaling $42,079,097 in valuations were issued.
WASHINGTON — Construction of new homes and apartments plunged by 17.6 percent in March, the biggest decline in 14 years and another possible indication that rising interest rates are beginning to take a toll on the economy. Meanwhile, wholesale inflation shot up 0.7 percent as energy prices soared. The Commerce Department reported Tuesday that builders started construction on new homes and apartments at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.84 million units in March, down from 2.23 million units in February. “This is a bit of a shocker,” said David Seiders, chief economist for the National Association of Home Builders. “But I dont think this represents a fundamental downshift in the housing market. There were special factors behind it.”

Hair loss is a normal part of the hair growth cycle. In fact, we typically lose 50 to 150 scalp hairs every day. Baldness (alopecia) results when hair, loss occurs at an abnormally high rate; when hair replacement occurs at an abnormally slow rate; or when normal hairs are replaced by thinner, shorter ones. Daniel Taheri, MD, Board Certified Dermatologist has treated many patients with hair loss over the years. Recently, Dr. Taheri shared some valuable insight about the causes and treatments of hair loss, as well as natural solutions. A: Although there are many reasons for hair loss, 95 percent of all cases are due to Androgenetic Alopecia, which is more commonly known as Male or Female Pattern Hair Loss. This genetic condition occurs more frequently in males, affecting approximately 40 million men in the United States.
Home News IN BRIEF –Record numbers of women are suffering hair loss and acne triggered by stress and poor diet, research shows. In a poll of 2,052 adult women by Vitabiotics Perfectil, a vitamin company, almost one in five (19 per cent) said they were suffering or had suffered hair loss. Thirty-eight per cent said they had acne.
The scalp also appears normal in children with alopecia areata, but this condition produces a clearly circumscribed area of complete hair loss bordered by pathognomonic exclamation point hairs that are wider at the tip than close to the scalp. Hair loss that is secondary to dermatophyte scalp infection (tinea capitis) is associated with inflammation and scaling of the scalp with broken infected hairs either at the scalp level or close to the hair root. The scalp may appear to have black dots, which are caused by the stubble of broken hairs. Alopecia that is present from birth may result from in utero scarring (aplasia cutis) or nevus sebaceous, which has an orange, velvety appearance and becomes more prominent and wart-like during adolescence because of increased sebaceous activity.

Yellowstone Denied
Every year, 3 million people visit Yellowstone National Park. But even on a tourist-packed summer weekend, you can unload your kayak at Yellowstone Lake and paddle for 10 minutes and be all alone. If you kayak on Yellowstone Lake, youll go for hours hearing nothing except the soft sound of blades dipping through water. If you keep close to the shoreline, youll see wildlife. Yellowstone offers silence-seekers 110 miles of shoreline. Most of it is pristine and quiet. Even around Grant Village — where there are lodges, cabins, stores, restaurants and 425 campsites — you can find yourself alone on the shore.
FEAR of exploitation and degradation is what inspired Congress in 1872 to set aside 2.2 million acres in three states to preserve the unique volcanic region known as Yellowstone as the worlds first national park. President Ulysses S. Grant signed the measure declaring that the sensitive area, with its roaring geysers and bubbling mud, would forever be set apart “for the benefit and enjoyment of the people.” Sadly, the short shrift given to Yellowstone, that grand old patriarch of parks, is symptomatic of a neglectful policy being applied to our national treasures across the board. At a time of war and tax cuts and huge deficits, something has to give. And under a spending bill recently approved by the House, a big loser is clearly the nations parks, already woefully underfunded.

At any given lime during the day, an estimated 500,000 passenger vehicle drivers are talking on hand-held cell phones, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. As cell phone usage continues to climb, more and more studies have looked into the impact that talking on the phone while driving has on safety. In response to such findings, New York, New Jersey and the District of Columbia have banned the use of cell phones while driving and other slates are currently considering lull or partial bans ol their own. However, the debate continues because many ol these states still allow the use of hands-free phones while driving and opponents of hands-free use counter that the main cause of accidents is the distraction caused by a phone conversation, not the operation of a hand-held phone. Regardless of cell-phone ban details, many corporations are recognizing that a real risk exists concerning cell phone use and, in an effort to avoid costly litigation stemming from an accident caused by one of their own distracted drivers, are re-evaluating their own phone-use policies. As part of its own recommendation for companies to consider a ban on cell phone use while driving, the California Association of Employers has even put a sample cell phone policy on their website.
The news is sobering. Driving while talking on a cell phone is the same as driving drunk. Motorists who use a cell phone are just as distracted, slow to react and as easily confused as motorists tipsy from drinking. And a drunk driver using a cell phone is more dangerous than a runaway train. The implication is clear. No more “one last call for the road” for Americas habitual phoners. The concern is that, like alcoholics, chronic cell phone users are in denial. They dont believe their “habit” has a negative effect, mostly because it doesnt feel that way. Once a person is off the phone, the cell phone driver immediately “sobers up” and returns to normal alertness and reaction times. Its those few minutes when that phone is off the hook, or even being voice activated, that is the killer — quite literally.

Criminal Law: The Basics, Frank A. Schubert, Roxbury Publishing, Los Angeles, California, 2004. Chapters 1 and 2 lay the foundation for why American criminal law is designed as it is, along with its origins and limitations. The theme that runs throughout the first two chapters deals with the similarities and differences between American law and English common law and why American jurisprudence is decentralized primarily to the states instead of centralized into a national government.

The dental practice will be positioned as a place one can get high quality dental work in an environment of convenience and technology.
IN ALGERIA, Souad and Sherif Gasmi were able to stand on their own feet. They earned enough for a comfortable life, spending their money not only on their children, but also on their parents and a wide circle of nieces and nephews. They had no need of handouts. Mrs Gasmi, now 35, studied for years to qualify as a dentist. Her husband ran a childrens clothes shop. But, in a country crying out for qualified professionals, it is illegal for this well-educated couple to earn a living. They are asylum-seekers, and, as such, are forbidden to work. Instead, the British taxpayer gives the Gasmis pounds 148 every week. They get housing benefit too. Until their asylum application is decided, the state will fund them.
Would you give a job to your dentist? Well, would you? Edith Cresson had no difficulty in finding a lucrative post in the EU Commission for one Rene Berthelot, former practitioner of the molar-cular arts, though with a surname like Berthelot he sounds more like an overworked gynaecologist. Actually, the EU is less like Caligulas Rome than turn-of-the-century Morocco. In the two decades before the international powers had finally to step in and put a stop to it, the Moroccan sultans succeeded in making Cresson and Santer look like Florence Nightingale and Samuel Smiles. It was the last decadence of the decadent Moorish court. The treasury was fast being emptied and the palaces of Sultan Abdul Aziz were littered with packing cases, the contents of which the British press once seriously described as `evidences of Christian civilisation at Fez. These cases contained - you didnt guess it - grand pianos and kitchen-ranges; cars and corsets; boxes of theatrical costumes; false hair, a passenger-lift; cameras of gold and silver with jewelled buttons; marbled lions, live parrots, a cuddly toy (just joking), steam launches, ladies underwear from Paris; printing presses and hot-air balloons - an infinity of all that was grotesque, useless and tacky.

In 2 randomly selected groups of healthy college students, mean sIgA increase was 32 mg/dl in the group experiencing 17 minutes of focussing on immune system imagery and a music tape vs. a rise of 16 mg/dl in quietly sitting controls (plt;.0001). Instances of tachycardia, breathing problems and bruxism decreased significantly in the imagery group vs. no change in controls. COMMENT: Immune measures changed quickly here in only 17 minutes. This emphasizes the lability of the responsiveness of the immune system. We also see here the influence of music. The influence of different types of music has also been extensively studied, with different varieties of music having different effects. We physicians should probably pay attention to the contribution to the healing atmosphere of our waiting rooms by carefully considering the background music.
The MusicDar Williams discussed during her set the reasons why womyn should switch to organic, unbleached cotton tampons and other products such as sea sponges during our periods. The traces of dioxins found in grocery store tampons are hazardous carcinogens; at the same time, the male-owned “feminine hygiene product” industry is making an astounding profit off our bodies. Williams considered that the organic products are more expensive than mainstream ones, so she offered a few hilarious possibilities for overcoming the increased expense. One suggestion was to give female loved ones packages of woman-safe tampons for birthday and seasonal gifts. For her personal contribution, she stopped at every health food store and co-op on her way to the festival and cleared their shelves of boxes of unbleached tampons. At this point her traveling companions walked down the catwalk with an enormous basket full of tampons and began wildly flinging them into the audience. Gleeful womyn rushed the stage to scoop up flying tampons!Tribe 8 returned for the night stage this year. The audience was noticeably smaller than other nights because many women didnt attend the performance. I hadnt been to one of their shows before so I looked forward to seeing what all the fuss was about from previous years. Yes, Lynn Breedlove hacked off a dildo on stage in Hothead Paisan fashion. I had a visceral jolt of fascination and revulsion watching her saw at the big dildo with her huge, bright silver knife — an effect the whole show seems intended to engender. I enjoyed the show — it was energetic, joyful and participative even while it fiercely expressed their anger about being women in a patriarchal world. Many women can relate to their first song, “The Mens Room is Down the Hall.” In this song Breedlove challenges those who judge her for not conforming to patriarchal norms of how a woman should dress and act.

The number of new single-family homes under construction in El Paso County fell for the second straight month in February, but industry officials arent fretting yet. Construction began last month on 584 single-family homes - down 12 percent from the 664 homes started in February 1999. Combined with Januarys figures, which also declined from the previous year, single-family housing starts for the first two months of 2000 in the county were down 11.5 percent over the same period in 1999.

MIAMI — PHD Audiophile Sound Systems, maker of hand-crafted Italian car audio speakers, announced at the 2005 Consumer Electronics Show plans to enter the U.S. market with a complete line of speaker products that features the Esacoil, the worlds first ever six-voice coil subwoofer. According to Renner, the Esacoil combines the advantages of a conventional subwoofer with the benefit of using isodynamic/electrostatic (fast response) in an all-in-one solution. Made with die-cast aluminum, the Esacoil is faster than other conventional speakers due to the six voice coils, the magnetic power engine and its light cone, which helps provide a more natural response given the lower momentum and a lower inertia. The Esacoil can be considered a two in one speaker. It is a woofer plus midrange all in one because it can reproduce in the lowest frequency, yet it has a fast response of 29.01 Hz, due to the six coils and special light cone, explains Daniele Baiano, PHD Head Engineer. The six voice coils have been made with thinner copper wire compared to other speakers of the same size since the total power is divided into six. Thinner wire provides a more detailed sound quality and linear response.

The Chiropractor, however, would be one of the longest lasting and best known of chiropractic periodicals (continuing in monthly publication until November/December 1961), and serving multiple functions along the way. Not the least of these would be its role as the “official organ” of the several professional societies BJ. founded and led: the Universal Chiropractors Association (todays ACA) and the Chiropractic Health Bureau (todays ICA).The masthead indicated that the new periodical was published by the Palmer School of Chiropractic and copyrighted by B.J. Palmer. Single copies were available for 5 cents each, or a years subscription for 50 cents, “which may be sent in postage stamps.” The first issue listed a number of articles on its cover:This first issue made what was probably liberal use of photographic images, in addition to the more standard line drawings of the times. Among the imagery was a photo of Harvey Lillard, one of the elder Palmers (the photo would appear again in various advertisements and in a textbook, The Science of Chiropractic, published by B.J. in 1906); and a picture of Old Dad Chiros class in Santa Barbara, California, during July 1903.
The newly merged Michigan Association of Chiropractors (MAC) has awarded the Chiropractor of the Year award to two doctors - Drs. Christophe Dean and Thomas Klapp, who were honored for their outstanding commitment and leadership in the advancement of chiropractic in Michigan. The dual award marks the recent successful merger of the Michigan Chiropractic Association (MCA) and the Michigan Chiropractic Society (MCS). Dr. Dean, a graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic, has been a chiropractor since 1975. He has served on the Michigan Chiropractic Council (MCC) board of directors and was elected MCCs president in 2004. Dr. Klapp graduated cum laude from Life Chiropractic College in 1979. He served as MCA president before the merger and now serves as MAC chairman. This is the third time he has been honored with the Chiropractor of the Year award.
Elliott points out that managed care organizations like HMOs and PPOs are requiring members to have coverage. In addition, a number of states have adopted more stringent licensing requirements for chiropractors that include mandatory malpractice coverage. “Theres an increase in the pie itself,” Elliott notes, in explaining why National Union and other companies have opted to enter the field at this time, adding that even chiropractors that had coverage may be looking for higher limits to meet HMO and PPO requirements. “Theres a real need in the marketplace for a strong company with experience in professional liability.”Another factor that has induced new entrants is the fact that, despite increased competition, “rates have been holding fairly steady,” Elliott says. “Premiums are relatively small to begin with so, to a great extent, competition is based on coverage,” he adds.The National Union program offers both claims-made and occurrence policies, with defense costs provided outside the limits. Coverage is provided for manipulation under anesthesia, where allowed. Limits range from 100/300 to $1 million/$3 million. “Basically, we cover anything thats allowed under state law,” Elliott says, explaining that “this industry is pretty well looked after. State laws are pretty strict.”

Acupuncture is considered a form of treatment or therapy.

It may be that acupuncture can prevent some symptoms and conditions from becoming worse or chronic. More research is needed to define the preventive value of acupuncture.
