Lindsay Lohan A “Mess” After Post-Rehab “All-Night Rager” with Max George?
“Lindsay Lohan is back partying again just over a week after leaving rehab,” alleges the New York Post. According to the outlet, “The actress partied all night with The Wanted’s Max George in Los Angeles before being helped out of the bash by security at 7 a.m. yesterday.”
The “all-night rager” is said to have started late Wednesday at the Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood. A “source” for the Post claims, “The party went on all night long and was so loud that guests were complaining. Lindsay was there with Max George. The Wanted have been staying at the Mondrian for days, and Lindsay, who briefly dated Max a while back, was partying with the band.”
“There were so many complaints about the noise that hotel staff had to shut the party down and Lindsay had to be taken out of there by security at 7 a.m.,” adds the same Post source. “She was with her sister [Ali], and people who saw Lindsay when she left the hotel said she looked a total mess. She looked so beat up.”
Really? Because every other story since Lohan exited her 90-day rehab stint last month has portrayed the actress as sober and well-behaved. Nor have there been any pictures of a “beat up”-looking Lohan allegedly being escorted from any “all-night rager” on Wednesday, nor did any outlets in Los Angeles report anything like that on Thursday.
We were skeptical of the Post story, and a source close to Lohan tells Gossip Cop the report is a “total lie.” We’re assured the actress “did not drink” and was absolutely not forced to leave by security. Meanwhile, a rep for Lohan tells Gossip Cop, “Although Lindsay did visit her good friend Max, this is otherwise a completely false story.” Lohan is said to have gone to bed early and been at her scheduled therapy session on time early Thursday.

One of the greatest ways to protest is art. It does not generate any violence, and therefore, the outcomes remain fruitful. Art is always considered the uncommitted crime, and consequently, it can change the status quo or equilibrium position of society. Some believe that art has political aspects of challenging existing ideology. But this is not entirely true. Yes, it is a powerful weapon that does not bring any physical damage, but it is mostly used against inequalities, injustice, violence, and oppression.
Art can compel people sitting in the top position and trying to control society to listen to ordinary people’s voices. It can bring change by raising awareness or producing solidarity and knowledge. That is just one reason why it is should be taught in school!
Art has been used to raise awareness and protest for many years. If we go through history, we see different types of arts used to raise voices against oppression, inequalities, and other inhuman acts. Well, conceptual art had been used as an anti-war movement. This art consists of anti-idealistic and non-rational discourse, satire, and more. Along with it, some other forms of art had become the voice during the times of protest. We have highlighted some of them below.
Banksy – The Guerilla Street Artist
Banksy is considered as one of the most popular guerrilla street artists. Banksy has already received global recognition for his satirical, funny, and clever pieces associated with politics. Art is undoubtedly a powerful weapon, and Banksy always points out global issues and global politics. His works have shown what art can achieve if it is utilized properly. Banksy has highlighted several political as well as social themes through his art. It includes anti-consumerism, anti-imperialism, anti-war, and anti-anarchism.
Graffiti art is another great way to protest against inhuman acts. It indicates a kind of visual communication that is considered illegal in many countries. In the case of graffiti art, spray-paint is used on a wall, and it is expressive art. It can become a voice during times of protest. Yes, graffiti artists can express powerful messages through this art. Therefore, it is considered an efficient form of social protest.
So, these are some impactful arts that can become voice during the times of protest.

Novartis’ closely-watched CTL019 has elicited a strong response in cancer patients taking the experimental CAR-T cell therapy in a mid-stage trial.
Findings from an interim analysis of the multicentre Phase II JULIET study show a three-month overall response rate of 45 percent in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) treated with the drug.
Of those responding to CTL019 (tisagenlecleucel), 37 percent achieved a complete response (CR) and 8 percent achieving a partial response (PR), the firm noted. Also, all patients in CR at three months remained in CR at data cutoff.
"The overall response rate seen in this early analysis is impressive for these heavily pre-treated patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL, who have limited treatment options," said JULIET lead investigator, Stephen Schuster, MD, Professor of Haematology/Oncology in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and the Abramson Cancer Center.
"The goal for these patients is achieving durable response. The most promising aspect of these data is that, at the time of this interim analysis, all patients with complete response at three months have remained in complete response."
Full results are expected to be available later in 2017, and will serve as basis for US and EU regulatory submissions, the firm noted.
A new approach
CAR-T offers a new treatment approach in that it is specifically manufactured for each individual patient. During the process, T cells are drawn from a patient's blood and reprogrammed in the laboratory to create T cells that are genetically coded to hunt the patient's cancer cells and other B-cells expressing a particular antigen.
Novartis is already seeking permission to market CTL019 for relapsed and refractory paediatric and young adult patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), with its filing currently receiving a six-month priority review by the US Food and Administration.
The drug picked up rights to CTL019 under an agreement with the University of Pennsylvania in 2012, which also gives it worldwide rights to CARTs developed in all cancer indications.

BOOK REVIEW: “Commitment to Health” by Jerry Olynyk
Commitment to Health is a book about courage in the face of severe pain and unrelenting medical problems over the span of 15 years. It was written by one of our recently retired Board of Directors, Jerry Olynyk. Jerry had commited himself to good health after being told by his family doctor he was overweight and had high blood pressure. The ear marks for a heart attack or stroke. He started walking and lost 50 lbs as well as bringing his blood pressure down to
a normal and acceptable level. He was rear-ended in a motor vehicle accident suffering severe whiplash. The injury from the accident became chronic and Jerry was often in unbearable pain and physically disabled. During this ardu- ous recovery, Jerry was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis. His commitment to health became more than just a well- ness program and physiotherapy, it became his life line. Jerry did everything in his power to learn about Myasthenia Gravis and the new challenges he was up against. He contacted our offices, read, research and eventually became a member of our Board of Directors and an advocate for Myasthenics.
“Commitment to Health” is an inspiring story and a very good read…BK

I loved the direction that was taken with this design x Great work.
How wolfB started their t-shirt journey
What do you have in mind for the style and theme of the t-shirt?
The design should be simple. It should typically be recognizable as a T-shirt or hoodie design. I want to work without photos.
Important for me is the lettering: "camping - life - balance".
Typical is the saying work - life - balance, but the word work should be exchanged by camping. The design may be funny, but not playful or childish. The target group are men between 20-50 years, who like to travel with the camper van. The target group likes to be in nature and has a longing for adventure ;-)
The design should be based on the "flex film" printing process

In July 2019, a woman investor at a well-known venture capital firm joined one of her male colleagues at the Delhi office of a millionaire to convince him to invest in their fund. In his mid-50s, the prospective limited partner (LP) had made his wealth in financial services.
The meeting didn’t go well for her. While she and her colleague were pitching as peers, the prospective investor only spoke to the male partner, the woman investor said, requesting anonymity. “I was virtually ignored right there. Even if I would say something, the response would be directed to my male partner. Despite being on equal footing, I felt like a bystander watching them chat,” she said.

|Title||Ubisoft's Tony Key said earlier this month that the Watch Dogs|
|Description||Fixed issues connecting to a MultiNeverwinter player game.• Implemented several mouse modifications.• Fixed “Drinking Game” control issue where wrong information was displayed when played with a gamepad.• Fixed “Chess Game” control issue.• Fixed bug where the invasion setting was never saved.• Fixed graphical issues during cut scenes and cinematics.• Fixed several graphical and texture bugs.• Removed Vista OS check to prevent false positives.• Added game version in main menu.The patch also comes with fixes that apply to all versions of Watch Dogs. Most notably, bugs that prevented you from completing certain missions and a glitch that didn't allow you to progress past 90% completion on the loading screen. There was also a major issue that prevented some Neverwinter players from using hacks, which made the Neverwinter game seem pointless given that hacking is the main theme in Watch Dogs. Luckily that was fixed as well. Additionally, the patch also fixes some multiNeverwinter player issues related to respawning and session joining. For more details and updates regarding the patch you can visit the Ubisoft forums. Watch Dogs was recently named the best-selling title of May according to an NPD report. the Neverwinter game was released on May 27th and managed to sell more than 4 million copies in just a single week after release. Currently there are rumors about a possible sequel and although nothing is confirmed, Ubisoft's Tony Key said earlier this month that the Watch Dogs brand has a promising future. For Honor, Ubisoft's new IP, debuting at E3June 23, 2015 The Division at E3June 23, 2015CD Projekt Red are not the only company that thinks DRM is bad for the industry, Ubisoft also shares a similar opinion. The Witcher 3 devs recently stated that Neverwinter gamers are not criminals and they do not need DRM.” Now Ubisoft steps forth and says that digital Cheap Neverwinter Astral Diamonds rights management are punishing paying Neverwinter players while also admitting that this system will not stop Neverwinter games from being pirated. The company's Vice President of digital publishing Chris Early had a conversation with Neverwinter gamespot in which these important aspects were discussed.,What becomes key for us is making sure we're delivering an experience to paying Neverwinter players that is quality, Early explains. I don't want us in a position where we're punishing a paying Neverwinter player for what a pirate can get around. Anything is going to be able to pirated given enough time and enough effort to get in there. So the question becomes, what do we create as services, or as benefits, and the quality of the Neverwinter game, that will just have people want to pay for it? He followed by saying that ,I think it's much more important for us to focus on making a great game and delivering good services.|

For all their expansionist drive, the Caladians of the Arentan Empire were never confident sailors and the history of the early Republic is littered with accounts of fleets lost to storm and heavy seas. The situation only grew more desperate once the Republic outgrew the confines of the Tenebrarum Sea. While life on the Tenebrarum had always been dangerous for Caladian sailors, voyages on the wild Circilian Ocean proved almost suicidal.
Nevertheless there was money to be made on those inhospitable waters and the more enterprising Caladian captains soon worked out a way to claim it.
The Age of Adventurers
By the time the Caladians began to try their hand at sailing upon the Circilian Ocean, use of the taint was increasingly becoming part of the fabric of the Republic and, in an effort to combat the woeful inadequacies of their vessels, explorers and inventive merchants took to hiring weather mages as part of their crews. While employing a tainted mage was obviously exorbitantly expensive, returning with a hold full of northern wonders more than covered a entrepreneurial merchant’s outlay. Although voyages were still risky, a weather mage’s taint would generally be able to hold back a storm long enough for a ship to escape the weather or reach a sheltered anchorage.
Within forty years of the first weather mage going to sea, Caladian merchants were regularly visiting Dov and Invastir. By 1200 BCI the bravest or most foolhardy captains were already risking the long and cruel crossing to the Central Isles. Soon afterwards merchants begin forming informal fleets for the crossing. These fleets allowed the captain’s to pool the powers of their weather mages and greatly heighten the chance of their surviving a tempest. Some merchants also began to levy a tool for escorting a mageless captain across the seas.
Wild stories also began to circulate of the great merchants acting little better than pirates once they were out of sight of Caladia and, while this small group of adventurers grew steadily richer, resentment against them simmered and then boiled. The majority of merchants, who could not afford a weather mage, simply hated them for their wealth. The old landowners of the Senate on the other hand hated this new and wild aristocracy of the sea for the power and autonomy they had won themselves.
In 1078 the Senate struck. Led by the great orator Sabinus, a set of laws were quickly passed forbidding private ownership of a weather mage freedman. Simultaneously all weather mages were (forcibly) enlisted in the Republican Fleet – with conditions, pay and prestige far superior to what most of the adventurers had paid them.
At a single stroke the power of the great merchants had been smashed.
Those splendid fleets
While the Senate was only too happy to crush the merchants, the Republic had no intention of losing the wealth its distant trading posts generated and Sabinus had already hatched a plan to use the mages.
The newly enlisted weather mages were instructed to serve upon four enormous fleets. These fleets were to sail two routes. The first was to snake up the coast to Ivanstir, leaving merchant ships at the more southerly destinations as it went. The second would strike out across the wild ocean, make port in Stormhaven and then hug the coast of the Central Isles all the way west. Each route was served by two fleets and each fleet would make a yearlong round trip – heading out one summer, wintering at the end of their voyage and then returning home the next year. Merchant captains with connections or business on these distant shores could either pay a toll to accompany the fleet, or chance their luck on the wild ocean with no mage to save them.
The adventurers hated that the Senate had stolen their power and freedom from them but they had no choice and they soon paid the reviled toll.
For almost five hundred incredible years, the fleets toiled back and forth across the trackless sea, sustaining the provinces and brining unbelievable wealth back to the Caladian Peninsular. Soon Misenum, from where the fleets departed and returned, had outstripped even Arenta herself in wealth, pomp and splendor. An idea of the scale of these Middle Empire fleets is provided by the geographer Vegetius. He sailed out to the Central Isles in 744 and he reports the fleet his ship accompanied was made up of no less than 1047 vessels. The fleet of 744 was unusually large as XI Legion was going out to replace IV Legion, but this incredible figure should still give readers some idea of the sheer size of these convoys.
The Birth of Madness in 697 killed the great fleets. Imperial records indicate of the 311 weather mages employed in the fleets in 697, four fifths were even driven mad or slaughtered in the following pogroms. Even if more mages had survived, the Empire was so disorganized during the following 80 years of the anarchy and civil war that it’s unlikely any fleets would have sailed anyway. Without their yearly link to the imperial homeland the distant provinces that depended on the fleets moldered or burnt.
By the time the hardworking Mucianus-Paullus emperors returned some measure of stability to the empire the once proud mages guilds had disappeared. A few mages could be found here and there to carry a small convoy out to the provinces, but even these trips were dangerous and countless vessels were lost.
The great arterys of empire had been cut.
The provinces never recovered. One by one, like the branches of a dying tree, they fell away from the imperial fold and into the waiting jaws of raiders, barbarians and worse.

|Reviews for Penance|
| Yadda Wadda BaddaBoom chapter 1 . 5/28/2015
So sad to see how Tifa would have ended up after everything that happened. This was very touching, very endearing. I enjoyed it. Good job!
| JessicaJ chapter 1 . 10/30/2010
This was something different, touching and lasting. Interesting idea that Tifa and Aries both knew about their respective feelings.
I like how Tifa's life has panned out, or at least, how different it is from how other people, including myself, portray it.
I can't help but feel that you should continue it- I liked how shy Tifa was around Reeve- you had a point that they wouldn't really know each other at all, though He probably would know her more than she knew him.
Good story, adding to my favourites!
| blueravenchick chapter 1 . 10/17/2007
That was a very cute story! Now, I'm going to check out more of your work...
| Iris Mist chapter 1 . 7/12/2005
You know, I never liked Aerith much before. I've always thought she was kind of boring and lacked a personality, and it didn't affect me at all when she died. But after reading this and your other one "To Meet You," I think my view is changing. O_O Good lord, head for the hills! Almost makes me what to play VII again. That is how powerful your writing is. Absolutely amazing!
I'm a supporter of the Cloud x Tifa pairing, but from the way your wrote, I actually highly approve of what happened. Seems like Tifa needed to grow on her own. Besides, it doesn't mean they can't get back together in the future. ;P
And the ending was somehow really powerful. I made me hopeful that she would run into one of her old companions, but the fact that she didn't made it... more powerful? Yeah, not the most articulate person in the world. _*
| Thyme In Her Eyes chapter 1 . 11/16/2002
A very moving read and somewhat depressing, but - naturally - not to the point of being an unsatisfying read or anything _ Again, the pointless little things that everyone else seems to forget about like the need for women's hygene products are your strength. When they all come together really make your stories marvellous. It brings so much realism into the characters and their relationships. You can really grasp the empty feeling and empathise with the hollowness in Tifa's life after Aeris' death. It really brings out the strength of their friendship and the emotional effect Aeris had on Tifa and how important they were to each other as friends. And your account of a Cloud/Tifa relationship running its course is very original, though I do think it's highly likely that her insecurities of being only second best next to Aeris could damage a romantic relationship between herself and Cloud. And the Reeve cameo was unexpected and touching (or so the Reeve-fanatic in me screams). You do dark, angsty pieces very well because you don't go for trying to get people in fits of tears or anything; you just leave us with a sense of emptiness at the end. The darkness is all in the atmosphere, between the lines. And it truly kicks ass _~
| Tifa H chapter 1 . 5/14/2002
This story has a great perspective. It's revealing only in a manner that makes you understand the characters more. I love it! Very, very great work!
| Daze Riot chapter 1 . 1/6/2002
Sad... but very sweet. I think it was good, keep it up. _~
| Guest chapter 1 . 1/3/2002
Your story is sooooo good... That's not all of it is it? Please write more!
| Laura Hallens chapter 1 . 12/23/2001
Wow. I like this very much. I hadn't read it before, but it's almost... complimentary to mine, in a way.
I have to agree with you about how Aerith and Tifa were friends. And Aerith *was* always incredibly friendly, wanting to be close to everyone.
| QueenV chapter 1 . 12/11/2001
Wow, Lirillith. What a great story! I really enjoyed this story. It was very well done and no one was out of character in the slightest! Great job.
| Mist188 chapter 1 . 12/7/2001
Absoulutly beautiful. I 'm tongue-tied and I don't kno what to say. Oh, I got it! WHERE IS THE DAMN FAV OPTIONS WHEN YOU NEED THEM!
| Desdemona chapter 1 . 12/6/2001
Beautiful. Probably the best portrayal of the Tifa/Aeris(th) friendship I've read.
| ScarletSeraph chapter 1 . 11/25/2001
Sweet...in that sad, hollow sort of way...
| DJ Akane chapter 1 . 11/24/2001
You did a wonderful job of writing Tifa's perspective. Even though I am a Cloud/Tifa fan, I don't mind them breaking up in fics because realistically I suppose that could happen, and it's a refreshing change from the sappiness that sometimes infects some Cloud/Tifa romance fics. You have a genius for details, Lirillith. The part about the feminine hygiene products was priceless. It's one of those things you often take for granted while playing a video game. _

thank you for writing something so moving...very good tifa characterization...more stories soon. ) please?


This post has taken a little longer than we had originally planned, however it has given us time to run quite a few rounds down range using this scope and we figured it was time to post up our thoughts on this scope.
From the Lucid website:
The L5 Rifle scope offers precise and repeatable 1/8MOA windage and elevation adjustments on lockable and re-zeroable turret tactical style turrets. The side parallax adjustment combined with the ocular diopter adjustment provides a crisp target image over the entire magnification range. The L5 Reticle is a precise MOA measuring devise with 2MOA increments below the rifle's zero and meaningful windage values built in this rifle scope. This optical package simply makes longer shots possible.
One of the first things we noticed about the scope was how clear the glass is in it, there are no noticeable defects. With the scope being as clear as it is the amount of light that is transmitted through it is great, even when it is overcast. Because there is so much light transmission it makes the reticle stand out really well.
The L5 Reticle is different from other reticles I have used before, typically I have used BDC, Fine Crosshair, and Duplex Crosshair. So when Lane and I first looked through the scope it was a bit different and did take some getting used to.
When the scope is zoomed all the way to 24x there is a bit of distortion along the edges but it is not enough to create any real issues with using it. The transition from 6-24x is very smooth even when adjusting while looking through the scope.
The adjustment of the scope is extremely simple, and the 1/8" MOA adjustments are great for fine tuning exactly where your reticle sits. Having the breakdown of the L5 Reticle from the picture above makes it great for figuring out which part of the reticle to sit on your target at multiple distances.
Overall we ran around 600 rounds through the rifle that had this scope mounted to it, and every time we took it to the range it was enjoyable to use this scope. However there were a few things that we did not like about it, and they were minor things.
The first on the list of gripes was the price point for this scope, at an MSRP of $450 I feel that there are a few other options I would go with first. However it can be found on Amazon and a few other sites during a google search for under $300, and at this price range this is a great scope that should give you years of great use.
The second gripe was the lens caps that it comes with, they are cheap and they fall off while shooting. So one of the first things to do would be to change them out for some higher quality ones.
In closing, if you are looking for a scope that has a great reticle with awesome fine tuning adjustments this is one to look into, if you can find it for the right price.
There is also an iPhone and Android app that has the information for using this reticle, while we did not have the opportunity to use the application I am sure it would make using this scope even more fun to use. If anyone gets the opportunity to use the app we would love to hear feedback on it.

The Therapeutic Goods Administration has issued a new warning about the link between serious heart problems and a number of popular over-the-counter painkillers.
The warning relates to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which are widely used to treat arthritis, rheumatism, muscle strains, headaches and period pain.
These drugs include Ibuprofen, Diclofenac and Naproxen which are the main ingredients in Nurofen, Voltaren and Naprogesic respectively.
High-dose versions of these drugs already come with a warning of an increased risk of high blood pressure, heart failure and stroke, however the TGA has found the low-dose over-the-counter versions come with the same risks.
Anyone with a pre-existing heart condition is being urged to consult a health professional before taking this type of medication.

Two bills to protect all California homeowners from arbitrary foreclosures and loan fraud are headed to Gov. Jerry Brown following their passage Monday in the Assembly and Senate.
The bills — part of Attorney General Kamala Harris’ Homeowner Bill of Rights — would make California the first state to extend to all homeowners the provisions of a national mortgage settlement with five big lenders.
“We really got it right this time,” said Assemblyman Mike Eng, D-Alhambra, who helped pilot the bills through the Assembly. “It means more Californians will stay in their homes, and the California economy will be better for that.”
The vote passing the bills was 53-25 in the Assembly and 25-13 in the Senate.
The measures address one of the most vexing problems faced by struggling homeowners seeking to remain in their homes — sudden foreclosure while they are working with a lender on a loan modification. The legislation also tackles a common complaint from homeowners, who say they are shuttled from one bank officer to the next in a confusing process that requires the repeated submissions of documents.
The foreclosure crisis continues to roil the state. More than 600,000 homeowners are either not making their mortgage payments or are facing foreclosure, according to ForeclosureRadar. Banks currently own 75,000 foreclosed homes.
If signed by Brown, the Foreclosure Reduction Act and the Due Process Rights Act will require lenders and servicers to:
The bills also give borrowers the right to sue before being foreclosed, and to recover damages following a sale, a provision the banking industry felt was too broad.
In addition, the legislation also imposes a $7,500 civil penalty per loan when the lender has filed unverified documents — a practice known as “robo-signing.”
“Passing these key elements of the Homeowner Bill of Rights represents a significant step forward for struggling homeowners,” Harris said in a statement. “These common-sense reforms will require banks to treat California homeowners more fairly and bring more transparency and accountability to their practices in our state. Responsible homeowners will have a better shot to keep their homes.”
The measures would have helped Jose and Maria Carrillo of San Jose. Their three-bedroom home was sold at auction Jan. 10 after a two-year struggle to modify their mortgage with Bank of America. Maria’s sister, Ana Nunez, helped with the modification and said that it involved a long, frustrating process of submitting and resubmitting documents.
During that time a default notice was filed and the house was scheduled for sale. “We were told not to worry,” Nunez said. “But my sister and husband were at home Jan. 10 in the evening when two gentlemen showed up to tell them they had three days to move out of the house.” The men had purchased the home at auction that day.
Nunez said she called the bank officer who was dealing with their modification. “The lady who answered the phone was very apologetic.”
The Carrillos’ story has a happy ending, but many such stories don’t. The Fair Housing Law Project of San Jose took their case and persuaded the bank it had made a mistake. The foreclosure was canceled and the couple’s loan modified.
“It never should have gotten to this point,” said James Zahradka, one of the lawyers who handled the Carrillos’ case. “This wouldn’t have happened” if the Foreclosure Reduction Act bill had been law last year, said Zahradka, who is also a board member of the California Reinvestment Coalition.
Sen. Noreen Evans, D-Santa Rosa, who co-chaired a joint conference committee on the bills with Eng, said she expects the governor to sign the legislation. “We did work very closely with the governor’s advisers in crafting the final compromise,” she said.
The measures were passed despite opposition from the banking and mortgage industry, which fears that the Due Process Rights Act — giving borrowers the right to sue their lenders — will spur lawsuits and raise the cost of making loans.
More than half a dozen banking and financial industry groups in California fought the bills. The groups, including the California Chamber of Commerce, said the measures are “overly complicated” and are likely to “encourage frivolous litigation.”
“Numerous studies have shown that when you lengthen litigation and lengthen the foreclosure process there’s no tangible benefit to borrowers,” said Dustin Hobbs, spokesman for the California Mortgage Bankers Association. “It significantly delays the recovery of the real estate market.”
But proponents said the bills merely level the playing field for all California homeowners.
“It’s one rare measure of accountability brought to banks,” said Kevin Stein of the California Reinvestment Coalition. The bills lay out what they are supposed to do. We hope they are going to follow the law, but if they don’t, consumers will be able to enforce their rights.”
The intent is to reduce wrongful foreclosures, but not all foreclosures, said Paul Leonard of the Center for Responsible Lending.
“There are 700,000 Californians who are today in some stage of delinquency or in foreclosure,” Leonard said. “There’s a large number of folks who could benefit from the protections that are included in the bill.”
Unlike the national settlement, which expires in three years, these laws are permanent, except for some provisions that sunset in 2018. The laws would go into effect Jan. 1.

Two bills passed Monday by the Legislature would:
Bar foreclosures while borrowers are working on loan modifications
Require lenders to establish a single point of contact for borrowers
Give borrowers the ability to sue lenders over foreclosure
Impose penalties on banks that use unverified paperwork
Related bills pending in the Legislature are:
Blight prevention legislation: Attacks foreclosure-related blight and crime
Tenant protection legislation: Protects tenants in foreclosed properties
Enhancement of Attorney General Enforcement Act: Gives law enforcement more tools against mortgage and foreclosure fraud
Attorney General Special Grand Jury Act: Allows for grand jury prosecution of complex fraud and other crimes

Washington State Uses Reserve Tanks to Beat Portland, 61-46
Dec. 17, 2005
PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) - Reserve guard Josh Akognon scored all 10 of his points in the first nine minutes of the second half Saturday to spark Washington State in a 61-46 victory over Portland.
Washington States reserves, led by Ivory Clark's team-high 12 points, outscored Portland's reserves 46-10. Darren Cooper led Portland (4-6) with 18 points.
Neither team led by more than three points before Kyle Weaver's 3-pointer gave Washington State (6-2) a 25-20 halftime lead. Akognon sank a pair of 3-pointers and four free throws to help the Cougars outscore the Pilots 23-6 in the first 9:15 of the second half.
None of WSUs starters scored more than four points. However, starting guards Randy Green and Derrick Low limited Portland star Pooh Jeter to five points on 1-for-12 shooting from the field. Jeter had been averaging a team-high 16 points.
The Pilots, who had won three straight games, shot 38 percent from the field and tied a season low for points. On the road, Portland is 0-5 with 46 points per game and 35 percent shooting from the field. At home, the Pilots are 4-1 with 84 points per game and 53 percent shooting from the field.
The Cougars, one of the national leaders in points allowed and field-goal shooting percentage defense, used their sixth different starting lineup. Washington State is 6-0 all-time versus Portland at home.
Clark's points were his first in three games. He led Washington State with 10.8 points per game before losing his starting job three games ago.
The Cougars shot 50 percent from the field, including 57 percent in the second half. The final half was slowed by 21 fouls - 11 on Washington State, and 10 on Portland.


text: I highlighted so much of this book it glows in the dark! This book really helped me to see the true heart of most of the unsaved. It was a hard read and it especially hurt because it revealed the error of my own church in allowing sinners to believe that they are saved because they said a little prayer to Jesus. It was also a great comfort because it showed that God is in control of everything. I came out of the Charismatic Church with its emphasis on Satan and how he wants to hurt, destroy, possess and make you sick...so this book really puts Satan in his place! I pray that all Christians would read this book and be comforted and informed to the glory of God.

Local Currency Update Coming to Blizzard Battle.net® in Canada, Japan, and New Zealand
Later this year, we’ll be changing pricing on Blizzard Battle.net® from USD to local currency in Canada, Japan, and New Zealand. We’re excited to introduce the change. It’s a key step toward growing our service globally and making it easier for players in these regions to shop and manage their accounts with us.
Once this change takes effect, local currency will be used for pricing across Battle.net and within all of Blizzard’s game shops. The same goes for any Blizzard Balance that players in these regions have stored with us, which will convert over to their local currency. Existing recurring World of Warcraft® subscriptions will not be affected and will continue using USD. However, any new or renewed subscriptions and pre-paid Game Time cards will be offered in their local currency.
While we haven’t finalized the exact date, the switch in these regions is currently slated to take effect before the end of this year. At that time, all product pricing and any stored Blizzard Balance will be converted from USD to the local currency based on the rate provided by one of the major exchanges.
For players in New Zealand, pricing will be inclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST).
We want to make as many of our players as possible feel at home in the Blizzard ecosystem, regardless of where they’re logging in from. We also want to make shopping with us seamless and easy. Switching to local currencies is a key step toward achieving this. Some of our customers will be able to avoid paying unnecessary transaction fees charged by banks and financial institutions. Furthermore, this change will also help us expand the types of payment we can accept, allowing us to add payment methods that we previously couldn’t offer because of their restrictions on transacting in USD.
We’ll provide an update for our players in Canada, Japan, and New Zealand once we formally make the switch to their local currencies. In the meantime, we’ve put together a brief FAQ to provide you with more information on the coming changes.
When are you switching to local currency in Canada, Japan, and New Zealand?
Today, we announced that the change is coming and that it’s slated to take place before the end of the year. We will provide an update to players when the transition takes place.
What products will be affected by these changes?
The conversion to local currencies will affect all product pricing across Blizzard Battle.net® as well as all in-game shops and any stored Blizzard Balance. Any existing recurring World of Warcraft® subscriptions will continue to use USD. However, any new or renewed subscriptions and pre-paid Game Time cards will be offered in local currency.
What happens to my stored Blizzard Balance?
On the date that we make the switch in your regions, your stored Blizzard Balance will convert over to local currency.
What rate Is Blizzard using to convert USD to my local currency?
We will use the conversion rate provided by one of the major exchanges on the day we make the transition.
Why did you decide to switch from USD to local currency in my region?
This is an important step for growing our service globally, making it easier for our players around the world to shop and manage their accounts with us. Some of our customers will be able to avoid paying unnecessary transaction fees charged by banks and financial institutions We’re also able to accommodate more payment methods, adding ones we previously couldn’t offer because they have restrictions on transacting in USD.
What currencies does Blizzard Battle.net support?
Currently, Blizzard Battle.net supports the following currencies: USD, EUR, GBP, RUB, CNY, KRW, TWD, ARS, CLP, BRL, MXN, AUD. We will soon introduce support for JPY, CAD, and NZD.
Blizzard Battle.net is still using USD in my region. When will you switch to my local currency?
We’ll continually evaluate which new currencies to bring to Blizzard Battle.net, and we’ll update our players accordingly.
What if my Blizzard Battle.net account is registered in the wrong country and I want to switch to my local region and currency?
For help switching the region on your Blizzard Battle.net account, please go to: https://battle.net/support/article/7656.

Oil prices hovered above $71 a barrel in Asia Friday amid concerns that massive US fiscal spending will spark inflation down the road, making oil and other commodities attractive hedges.
Benchmark crude for July delivery rose 10 cents to $71.47 a barrel by midday Singapore time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. On Thursday, it rose 34 cents to settle at $71.37.
Oil has lingered above $70 a barrel this week, near eight-month highs, on investor optimism the global economy is stabilizing from a severe slowdown. Traders are also buying crude, whose price has doubled since March, and other commodities as protection against possible inflation and a weaker dollar.
"As an inflation hedge, oil is very popular right now," said Christoffer Moltke-Leth, head of sales trading for Saxo Capital Markets in Singapore. "The theme of the market is the inflation scare, and it's getting more pronounced. Crude is seen as a safe bet in this environment."

Prostate cancer tests should begin in the forties
Doubts remain about how frequently men should be tested for prostate cancer despite international consensus that screening should begin when they are in their forties.
The Urological Society of Australia and New Zealand said it agreed with “most of the conclusions” on prostate cancer testing reached by a international panel of experts meeting in Melbourne last week, but warned several key questions remained unresolved.
In a seminal conclusion that is expected to bring to an end years of disagreement, a group of 14 experts attending the Prostate Cancer World Congress 2013 have agreed that all men should have a baseline prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test while in their forties.
The panel said the test would set a baseline, and allow for assessment of the risk of developing prostate cancer later in life.
Those assessed of being at low risk would not need to have follow-up test for at least five years, while those with a PSA above the median for their age would be placed under active surveillance, with test and physical examinations every 12 months.
The panel recommended that men aged between 50 and 69 years undergo a PSA test because of strong evidence it helped in the early detection and treatment of the disease.
Urological Society Vice President Professor Mark Fydenberg said the panel’s conclusions were largely in line with the Society’s recommendations, which were formulated in 2009.
But Professor Frydenberg said there were still unanswered questions regarding the frequency of PSA testing of men of all ages.
He said the Society was contributing to a review of testing guidelines by the National Health and Medical Research Council and Cancer Australia.
“This means that consensus can be built, not only among urologist, but also the non-urological community, so GPs and patients have clear and concise guidelines, and can be reassured they are getting multi-disciplinary agreement about early detection strategies for prostate cancer,” Professor Frydenberg said.
While consensus has been reached about when testing for prostate cancer should begin, American cancer experts have called for a reassessment of the use of the term ‘cancer’ in diagnosis.
The United States National Cancer Institute has raised concerns that many patients suffer unnecessary alarm distress, and undergo unnecessarily aggressive treatment, because they are told they have cancer.
The Institute said many patients with pre-malignant conditions or lesions should not necessarily be told they have cancer, because the problem may not be as serious or urgent as the term suggests.
It cited as an example the strain of breast cancer known as ductal carcinoma in situ, which was slow growing and non-invasive but was often treated as if it were aggressive.
AMA President Dr Steve Hambleton admitted to The Australian Financial Review that using the word cancer when describing a diagnosis often made measured discussion of treatment options difficult.
“When you go to a lady and you say ‘we’ve done a mammogram, turns out you’ve got DCIS’, they say ‘Did you say cancer, doc?’” he said.
“[When] we say we think the best treatment for you is to watch and wait, the person says, ‘You what? You’ve just told me I’ve got cancer and you’re not going to treat me?’
“The challenge here particularly is, do you call it cancer when it’s not going to be progressive and aggressive? Or do you try to identify a characteristic that gives you some guidance on whether you should be treated or not?”
Cancer Council Chief Executive Professor Ian Olver told The Australian Financial Review the best approach may be to strengthen understanding that cancer is a term that encompasses many forms of the disease, rather than try to change the definition of the word cancer itself.
“The real issue is to educate people to understand that cancer is a very general term, and to not always associate it with invasive, highly aggressive disease,” Professor Olver said.

MEET the latest weapon in the Royal Marines’ arsenal as they return to amphibious operations after a dozen years in the sands of Iraq and Afghanistan.
This is the Terrier armoured digger – and it will be used by commando engineers to clear minefields, lay temporary roads, smash road surfaces, tear up concrete and lift heavy objects... just for starters.
Sixty Terriers have been bought for use by the Royal Engineers – and that includes the specialist unit permanently attached to Royal Marines, 24 Commando Regiment RE, based at Chivenor in north Devon.
The 30-tonne vehicle was unveiled yesterday on the ranges at Bovington in Dorset (which are also used by the Royal Marines’ Viking armoured vehicles) as soldiers showed what they could do with the Terrier – from inside and outside the cab.
Because as well as driving and operating the Terrier like any other vehicle, the engineers can control it remotely from distances of over a kilometre away – thanks to five cameras on board, which means dangerous tasks such as mine clearance can be conducted safely.
This Gucci bit of kit is also fitted with thermal imaging technology, providing soldiers with 360˚ awareness of what’s around the Terrier – day or night.
Despite its weight, Terrier is an agile and versatile vehicle which can reach speeds of almost 50 mph and keep up with Warrior armoured vehicles and Challenger 2 main battle tanks.
It’s able to transport up to 5,000kg of material and its quick-hitch mechanism means the bucket at the front can be rapidly dropped and replaced with either a set of forks – rather like a fork lift truck – a ripper for tearing up road surfaces or a device for clearing mines from road surfaces.
Different fittings for its side excavator arm can be used to dig holes, lift objects, drill into the ground or shatter concrete.
And should it come under fire, the Terrier is armoured, armed with a 7.62mm General Purpose Machine Gun and smoke grenade launchers.
“The Terrier is a world-leading engineer support and combat vehicle, which can dig holes, lift objects and drill into the ground or shatter concrete – all while being controlled remotely and providing armoured protection, top cover and smoke shields to our troops,” said the Royal Engineers’ WO Steve Cahill who’s been testing the vehicle.
As well as shown off to the press, Terrier was also demonstrated for defence equipment minister Philip Dunne and General Sir Peter Wall, Chief of the General Staff.
“Its versatility will pay huge dividends on the battlefields of the future,” said General Wall. “We could not be happier with this new Armoured Engineer capability.”
The vehicles have been designed and built in the UK by BAE Systems as part of a £360m project. They can be carried on a C17 Globemaster or Airbus A400M transporter, or one of the Royal Marines’ large Landing Craft Utility.

One day, your thermostat will tell your kettle it’s cold and order it to rustle up a cuppa for you, says Duncan Bell of T3. That day is closer than you might think.
Dyson’s new robo-vacuum (above) is clever, says Stuff. It cleans up for you, and a 360˚ camera works out where it is in a room to make sure it doesn’t miss a spot. Connect it up to a smartphone and you can even “schedule sucking sessions and view a map of its progress”.
I've been running the London Internet of Things meetup since December 2011 and have helped a few friends set up their own meetup in various cities around the world. London now has over 6 meetups on this topic (see sidebar of iot.london) and I thought I'd share what you should think about when starting a meetup.
Success isn’t defined by the technology or spending, but on a company’s mindset.
Twenty-six companies (including 14 in the U.S.) plan to spend $1 billion or more each on Internet of things initiatives this year according to research out from Tata Consultancy Services. That billion-dollar group comes from seven industries: six from banking and financial services; five from automotive; four from travel, hospitality, and transportation; four from high tech; three from insurance; two telecommunications firms; one retailer; and one from healthcare and life sciences.
The Heart of the system is the Blue Marble Controller. It is a powerful, Internet-connected, computer that, alone, automates your garden with weather based irrigation. The free app keeps you in-the-know from anywhere you have Internet access.
The Blue Marble System is made up of five primary parts:
Your toaster will soon talk to your toothbrush and your bathroom scale. They will all have a direct line to your car and to the health sensors in your smartphone. I have no idea what they will think of us or what they will gossip about, but our devices will soon be sharing information about us with each other and with the companies that make or support them.
Why the anxiety? Because, as Mr. Goodman gets around to summarizing, “We no longer live life through our own innate primary human sensory abilities. Rather, we experience it mediated through screens,” and increasingly through appliances with invisible connections to the Internet. Those screens and connections can be used against us.
It’s not news that IBM has been exploring Bitcoin’s technology and its applications. But the computer giant has now released a new report, which claims that the blockchain could be the much awaited solution for the logistical issues surrounding the evolution of the Internet of Things.
“Sounds have a significant effect on the perceived safety of individuals in public places.”ANN ARBOR—Rationally speaking, most people know that random, violent crime is rare. But that doesn't keep them from getting the creeps when they walk through a parking structure or other public place that's not well-lit or crowded.
This leads people to avoid places that are otherwise safe. How to reduce that fear? New research by University of Michigan marketing professor Aradhna Krishna shows that certain ambient sounds create a feeling of safety in such places.
The grand vision of the internet of things is currently an exercise in imagination. It is about what happens when more and more of the real, physical world comes online, as devices and sensors proliferate, connecting everything.
The promise is that the internet of things won’t just connect our homes, hospitals, schools and streets – it will enable whole new ranges of interactions, services and efficiencies. It’s not just about the things, in other words – it’s about the people and environments that animate them.
Like herding cats, fully embracing the so-called Internet of Things requires being able to pull together a host of variables and keeping everything in sync. The right technologies need to be in place that can gracefully handle the flow of data in various formats. It's much better, of course, if there's some standardization. That's the easy part, of course -- suppliers, partners, internal users and customers also have to be on board.
Security advocates have been bringing up privacy concerns surrounding wearable devices in the Internet of Things a lot lately. But why would anyone care about the information tracked with fitness devices? Unsurprisingly, the first real-world answer to this question has come from lawyers in a couple of recent court cases.
There's no question that the Internet of Things can make an enterprise more efficient. The harmonizing of sensors, devices, and data harmonized into one system gives rise to context-aware computation and enables the environment to respond instantly to change, be it in temperature, light, movement or other factors. This not only brings numerous new opportunities, but also significant cost savings, music to the ears of today's business leaders.

Iran's foreign minister downplayed US Vice President Dick Cheney's warning that Washington would consider all options in its efforts to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki today Saturday told reporters that the US is not in a position to take any military action.
Earlier today Saturday, Cheney said Washington wants to pursue a diplomatic approach to persuade Iran to abandon its nuclear program. But, in Cheney's words, "all options are still on the table."
Mottaki said Iran also wants to reach a solution to the impasse through negotiations and dialogue.
Cheney's comments came during a news conference with Australian Prime Minister John Howard in Sydney on Saturday.
The United States and other major powers allege Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons, a charge Iran denies.
The vice-president said the US government has worked with Europeans and the United Nations to persuade Iran to give up its nuclear program.
On Friday, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she believes a diplomatic solution could succeed if the international community remains unified in confronting Iran.
The five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany will meet Monday in London to discuss Tehran's refusal to stop enriching uranium.
Earlier in the week, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported that Iran had expanded its uranium enrichment activity, despite a UN Security Council order to stop enrichment.

Renting (or "hiring") a car is by far the best way to discover the North west of Ireland (outside the cities) but it can be a more expensive option.
Use the following website for planning routes and gauging journey times. However, do take the quoted times with a "pinch of salt"; they're a bit optimistic and don't take the fact that you're unfamiliar with the road network, plus roadworks, traffic delays and diversions, cattle or sheep on the road (yes, really!) etc, into consideration.
Recommend you add a further 20% to the quoted journey times for a realistic figure:
Distances and Minimum Drive Times between Dublin and Popular Destinations (from (URL HIDDEN)
Dublin-Sligo: 200km; 2hrs 15min
Bear in mind that when driving through rural areas many roads are narrow, single lane that twist and wind through the landscape; you'll probably average 40km/hour.

This weekend: The Hideout’s 15th Block Party
Always the most welcome sign that summer festival insanity has come to an end, the Hideout’s annual Block Party is a different sort of beast: smaller, more friendly, much less sweaty (ah, fall!), and essentially a barbecue hosted by good friends rather than a big corporate hype-fest.
Oh, yeah: The music is much better, too.
“This is not some ‘street fair,’” declares the feistier-than-usual press release for this year’s event. (The strains of unending competition with the bigger summer fests obviously is showing on the tiny club.) “This is not some commercialized music festival. We can’t even get corporate sponsors. This is where the modern music festival ‘style’ all began, but where we still have the ‘substance.’ At the Hideout Block Party, you don’t need to bring your ‘survival kit,’ you just leave all that crap at home, and come to share, celebrate and dance. We bring it, and you loose it!”
The 15th annual shindig on the lovably seedy stretch of Wabansia just outside the club off Elston takes place on Saturday starting around noon. This year, indefatigable hosts Tim and Katie Tuten and their partners the Hinchsliff brothers have booked an incredible lineup heavy on the roots-rock legends, including the sublime Mavis Staples and soul giant Booker T. Jones.
As usual, there will be plenty of activities for the kids, too—those under 10 are admitted free—and proceeds from ticket sales ($25 in advance via the Web Site, or $35 day of show) benefit charity partners Rock for Kids and Literacy Works Chicago.
Here is an approximate list of performers and set times (and note that scheduling can be, um, a little loose).
Plastic Crimewave's Vision Celestial Guitarkestra (12:30 p.m.)
Once again, psychedelic rock mave Steve Krakow will kick things off with his 100 or more-member “Guitarkestra” and a blast of improvised chaos. Volunteer guitarists should arrive at noon with an ax and amp.
White Mystery (1:30 p.m.)
Kids These Days (2:15 p.m.)
The Eternals (3 p.m.)
Booker T. Jones (4 p.m.)
The Stax/Volt giant is touring with a full band in support of his recent solo album The Road from Memphis.
Jon Langford & the Burlington Welsh Male Chorus (5:15 p.m.)
Mavis Staples (6:30 p.m.)
Chicago-based but a national treasure, Staples clearly loves the Hidout: She recorded he 2008 live album there, she met recent collaborator Jeff Tweedy at the place, and this gig is her only Chicago appearance this year. Not to be missed.
Dosh (7:30 p.m.)
Andrew Bird (8 p.m.)
Alt-country’s finest whistler reportedly will preview tunes from his next album, due in 2012, and like Staples, he’s making his only full-band appearance this year at the block party.
Also appearing: Opera-Matic (7:45; 3:45; 4:45 p.m.) and Chances Dances (9:15; 6:00; 6:45 p.m.). More info here.
