Hiring professional staff
UW professional staff positions are exempt from the state civil service system. In order for a position to be placed in the UW Professional Staff Program it must meet one or more of the legislatively authorized exemption criteria (see Recruiting Support Tools below).
Professional Staff Positions must fall within the job classes as noted in this list of Professional Staff Payroll Titles.
Requisition Process in UWHIRES
Once your requisition has been approved in Workday, it is sent to UWHIRES where it will appear on your UWHIRES Hiring Manager Workbench. Your HR recruitment team member will work with you on finalizing the job posting. Once the posting is completed, your HR recruitment team member will switch the requisition to "Open" status and post the position to the UW employment website and any other websites you may have discussed if additional advertising is needed.
Your HR recruitment team member will review resumes against all requirements, review qualified applicants for eligibility, and then place candidates on your hiring manager workbench in UWHIRES. The resumes are then available for you to review. If your position is designated safety/security sensitive, your HR recruitment team member will initiate the Criminal History Conviction Disclosure process. If subsequently any candidates are disqualified, you will be notified. Depending on HR recruitment team member , your HR recruitment team member will refer applications at various times. Consult with your HR recruitment team member to discuss a timeline of candidate resume referrals.
- If a job has a closing date, resumes will generally be available after the posted closing date.
- For positions that are open until filled, resumes may be available as soon as they are submitted and reviewed.
To view the candidates' resumes:
- Open the Manager Workbench and locate the requisition under the "Requisitions" tab.
- Click on the job profile title.
- Scroll down to the "Candidates" tab in the requisition. Click on the candidate's name to display their applicant profile and resume.
- As you review each candidate, indicate the disposition codes that apply to the applicant's most recent status change to track and document their status in the hiring process.
- In the Requisition view, scroll down to the "Candidates" tab.
- Select the appropriate disposition for each candidate from the "Activity Type" drop down menu.
- Select the candidates you wish to interview and update their status.
Once you have selected a qualified final candidate, you will need to establish a proposed salary and obtain approval for the salary offer from your employment specialist.
Once you have selected a qualified final candidate and checked references, you will need to establish a proposed salary and obtain approval for the salary offer from your HR recruitment team member .
Request approval to make offer
Follow these steps to request offer approval:
- In the UWHIRES "Requisition View", scroll down to the "Candidates" tab.
- Click on the "Add Activity" link for the candidate you wish to make an offer to. This will open the "Add Activity" window.
- Select "Request Approval for Offer" from the "Type" drop down box.
- Click "Save." This will open a new "Offer Details" window.
- Complete this page by entering the appropriate information in each field.
- Upon clicking "Save," your HR recruitment team member will be notified of your request for salary review, followed by the other approvers on the list.
Make the offer
Once the salary has been approved by both your HR recruitment team member and your department approvers, you can make the offer to the candidate. If required, make the offer contingent upon a successful background check. Contact your HR recruitment team member if salary negotiation is needed.
Domiciliary relocation
If your candidate will have to make a domiciliary move (relocate and establish a new residence), determine whether it may be appropriate to include a "lump sum relocation incentive payment" and/or pay moving expenses as part of your offer of employment. Review the following resources for information about these options.
Once the offer is accepted, update the requisition in UWHIRES:
- In the Requisition view, scroll down to the "Candidates" tab.
- Click on the "Add Activity" link for the candidate who has accepted the offer. This will open the "Add Activity" screen.
- Select "Department Hire (Pre-hire)" from the "Activity Type" drop down.
- Click "Save."
- Your HR recruitment team member will be notified and the process for sending the hire to Workday will be completed. This may include the background check, if required. Your department will be notified in Workday to complete the hire. You can find instructions on the Workday hire process at:
- Campus: Hire Staff Campus user guide
- Medical Centers: Hire Medical Centers user guide
- Prepare and send a hire confirmation letter to your new employee. Sample hire confirmation letters:
- Save all recruitment materials according to records retention schedule.
- Campus managers: review your action items on the Checklist – New Hire (MS Word)
*If you are a UW Medical Center or Harborview hiring manager, your HR recruitment team member will complete the remaining fields.
Next, Medical Centers Human Resources will perform the following post-hire activities for you:
- Send new hire confirmation letter.
- Complete the Workday entry process.
- Complete background checks.
- Medical Centers' orientation registration (includes Husky Card and photo identification name badge for new employee).
- Patient Care Services orientation (scheduling as job applicable).
- Ambulatory Care Services orientation (scheduling as job applicable).

- Departmental orientation: Providing your new employee with a tour of the department, make introductions, discuss departmental emergency procedures, performance expectations, vacation and sick time off request and use, etc.
- Setting up computer logins (after receiving EID).
- Collecting new employee's orientation completion confirmation.
Update candidates not selected (Campus and Medical Centers)
This process is done electronically within UWHIRES so candidates can check their statuses themselves. Follow these steps to update candidates not selected:
- Log into UWHIRES.
- In the Requisition view, scroll down to the "Candidates" tab.
- To update individual candidates:
- Click on the "Add Activity" link next to the candidate's name that you want to update. This will open the "Add Activity" screen.
- Select the appropriate final disposition code from the "Activity Type" drop-down menu for the stage in which the candidate fell out of consideration. By adding this information, candidates can view their status for your position in their UW applicant profile. Candidates will only see "Not Selected," regardless of what disposition code you choose.
- To update all candidates:
- Select all candidates you wish to change status on by clicking the box to the left of their name.
- At the top of the "Candidates" tab, select the appropriate disposition code from the drop-down menu for the stage in which the candidates fell out of consideration.
Click "Go".
Note: On your hiring manager workbench, if you have filled requisitions on which candidates have not yet been dispositioned, you will see a tab indicating such. From this tab, you are able to go into a requisition and move candidates into their final disposition status.
Criminal background checks
Some UW positions are considered security/safety sensitive. The successful candidate for such a position may have a criminal conviction history check conducted after a conditional offer of employment has been made and accepted. See the Criminal Background Check web page for details.

WWE might not be a real sport, but it's still entertaining, Breffni O'Sullivan previews the stars of the future
Professional wrestling is fake – it's a form of entertainment, taking cues from the pageantry of theatre and presenting them as an athletic art form, albeit often devoid of logic or taste. While its popularity and mainstream acceptance has taken a tumble recently, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE, formerly the WWF) remains at the top of the heap, spearheaded by current superstars like John Cena, Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio.
While many of us '90s kids remember the glory days of 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, The Rock and Mick 'Mankind' Foley, many staples of the so-called 'Attitude Era' are still forces today, notably The Undertaker, Kane, the Hardy brothers and a reinvigorated Shawn Michaels. But what will happen when these big names fade away? Who will be the next WWE superstars? There's certainly no shortage of contenders.
Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase Jr.
Sons of the legendary Dusty Rhodes and 'Million Dollar Man' Ted DiBiase respectively, the men collectively known as "The Legacy" are cementing their, eh, legacies as stars of the future. Starring in the upcoming WWE film The Marine 2 (God knows that needed a sequel), DiBiase is being groomed as a future posterboy for the business and based on his technical prowess, few could argue against his potential.
John Morrison & The Miz
John 'Don't call me Jim' Morrison and former tag partner Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin both entered wrestling via MTV's Tough Enough reality show. The "Dirt Sheet Duo" are Intercontinental and US champions respectively, and both are hitting their stride as notable singles competitors. Morrison is one of the most eye-catching superstars in recent years, appearing in fur and jewels to Hendrix-esque strains of entrance music, while Miz's obnoxious frat boy persona generates a unique hatred from the crowd. Both have great futures ahead.
Bryan Danielson
The greatest wrestler you've never heard of. Currently signed to a WWE developmental contract, Danielson, trained by Shawn Michaels, has delivered stunning performances for years on the independent circuit as well as being the cornerstone of the Ring of Honour promotion (as showcased in Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler). A master of in-ring action, Danielson, despite his relatively small stature, could be the next big thing.
While there are countless other prospects in the wings including Dolph Ziggler, Dublin native Sheamus, Kofi Kingston, Beth Phoenix and Zack Ryder, WWE certainly has a capable group of performers willing to take their game to the next level to entertain the fans and to produce top notch television. However, WWE is less than accommodating in facilitating development prior to TV, providing a false economy and an unnecessary hurdle in new stars' own future success. With such untapped potential, another boom period could be on the cards for WWE and its owners, the McMahon family, if they realise it.

Title: Between Planets
Author: Robert A. Heinlein
Cover artist: Steele Savage (!)
Frontispiece artist (!!!): Clifford Geary
[Part of the Laura R. Braunstein Collection]
Est. value: $5-10
- Nice dismount, Space Jesus!
- Someone was So High when they designed this.
- "So, like, the dragons have eyes, but then those eyes have eyes ... like, seven eyes ... and the dragons are swimming through, like, an algae-covered pond toward a tiny floating city, and then there's this muscly space preacher in a hot orange spandex body suit who's like 'AMEN!' ... oh my god this is gonna be sweet."
- Not to bring the room down too much, but this is really poorly written. It's like a 10-year-old trying to summarize a story.
- I see now why they needed the psychedelic nutjobbery of the front cover—to offset this soporific nonsense.
- "Don, the hero of this story" is an improbable sentence.
- Oh, man, I'm gonna be having man-goat-chicken nightmares for days now...
- The twin dildos on top really tie the whole look together.
- The human appears to be unzipping his fly. I'm now a little worried for man-goat-chicken.

First off, let me say, HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY!!!
So, moving on... (I swear, none of this post is an April Fool.)
(I want to call this magical realism, but it's not literary, so I'm not sure what to call it.) I'm still jotting down notes on notecards for each chapter, and I'm about done that. After, I need to go back to the beginning and add some more atmosphere, and work on a few other details. Also, I really hope that I've helped and not hurt the pacing by moving scenes around so much.
I started out these revisions not knowing what to do or where to even begin.
But now, I'm feeling pretty good about this manuscript.
So what are you working on this week?

Construction work is considered one of the most dangerous jobs in the United States. Every year, thousands of construction workers are injured or killed, accounting for one in five workplace fatalities in America. Despite proper precautions, wearing the correct safety equipment, and avoiding unnecessary risks that violate safety procedures, you can still end up suffering a serious injury while on the job.
If you suffered an injury in a construction accident in Idaho, you are eligible to recover workers' compensation benefits from your employer or able to pursue a personal injury claim against a third party. With more than 70 years of combined experience, our Pocatello lawyers at May, Rammell & Wells can evaluate the circumstances behind your accident and determine all of your available legal options to get the best results possible.
When a construction worker suffers an injury on the job, he or she cannot—in most cases—sue the employer for work-related injuries. Even if the worker is injured as a result of his or her own carelessness, workers' compensation is still available in the form of weekly payments to cover medical expenses and lost wages.
However, if a third party is also responsible for your injuries, you may pursue a personal injury claim. Owners, contractors, architects, and equipment manufacturers can all be held liable for accidents caused by insufficient safety measures.
We genuinely care about your health and well-being. Our Pocatello lawyers will aggressively pursue justice on your behalf while guiding you through each and every step of the legal process. Let us fight for you while you make the best recovery from injury possible.

Here is a throwback to one of the coolest shoots I've ever done! While we were in Chicago recently, we went to see the Willis Tower Sky Deck. Little did we know...visibility from the tower that night was 0%. We thankfully decided to take the elevator up 108 levels to find that we had the Sky Deck almost completely to ourselves. The giant clouds and fog that surrounded the windows acted as one enormous soft box. Blew. My. Mind. So, all in all, we weren't mad about not being able to see Chicago's skyline - we're both afraid of heights ;)
PS: I am so into lace-up tops right now. Forever21 is killing it with their selection. I just ordered three for the summer. Also, I've gotten some requests for a makeup tutorial - would you babes like a 'how to' for this smokey cat eye?

My Rating
By Robert D'Souza(27 Jan 2011)
"Orange - 'O' Range Love Story! it is stated to be a youthful entertainer based on today's way of living of an NRI or for that matter a boy's experience in a foreign country. In which Ram Charan Teja and Genelia playing lead roles.The story is that of an Indian youth Ram Charan (Ram) who happens to go to Australia on studies and comes in contact with Geneelia (Janaki). As the love blossoms between them there is a flash back where Shazahn Padamsee plays a vital role. Enough Indian masala mixed with comedy from Brahmu and Ram Charan and anchor role by Tamil actor Prabhu, Prakash Raj playing Australian police officer, the movie is expected to churn out good interest. The high light of the movie is the sky diving in Sydney which was designed and executed by the Australian stuntman Harris Decholas."

New Dart Programming Language To Be Released by Google
Desktop-as-a-Service Designed for Any Cloud ? Nutanix Frame
This October will be important for web developers, as Google is poised to announce a new programming language they have been working on. Google hasn't released any details about Dart, as the language is called, but developers are eagerly awaiting the announcement at the October GOTO developers conference.
The conference organizers are playing up the annoucement, stating that "The whole world will be on alert when Google presents a new programming language 'Dart' in the opening keynote..." All Google will say about Dart is that "one of our tech leads and software engineers will be unveiling more about Dart in early October."
The Dart programming language is described as being useful for structured web programming. Some have deduced that Dart will be similar to the Node.js JavaScript library, without the deficiencies often noted in JavaScript, perhaps with functionality for both the client and the server.

By John Byrne | RAW
In an exclusive interview
with RAW STORY, Rep.
Jim Moran (D-VA) slammed President Bush and Congressional
Republicans' attempts to take on Social Security, saying
he believes Bush has surrounded himself with those who
agree with him and has lost touch with America.
Touching on issues from Social Security to the president's
energy plan, Congressman Moran asserted that Republicans
had repeatedly put the interests of the wealthy before
the poor.
"I think the Republicans basically resent the
poor and they figure if we can get the poor investing
in the stock market, maybe they'll start thinking
like Republicans," Moran said. "God help us."
The Virginian said he believes that the Republican
base has used Bush to push Social Security reform, a
project that he says is essentially one to axe Social
"I think they realized that they're never
going to find anybody who is as willing to carry out
the agenda of these Republican right wing nuts and reverse
the course of American progress," he remarked.
"This is their chance. This is their chance to
cut taxes down to the bone. This is their chance to
repeal Social Security and to bankrupt Medicare and
President Bush is holding an event to promote his plan
in Moran's district Friday. The events—like most
of those the president held during his presidential
campaign—are prescreened to include supporters.
Moran suggested that such events may have contributed
to what he sees as a sense of "self-delusion"
Bush has shown in promoting a plan that polls poorly
with the American public.
"I don't think he has much experience with
regular people that haven't been prescreened,"
he said.
"He doesn't read any books, and he doesn't
talk with people that don't already agree with
him," he added. "He's surrounded himself
with ideological sycophants. And the biggest ass-kisser
of all is Dick Cheney."
A transcript of the interview follows.
Raw Story's John Byrne: What
did you think about the Social Security plan President
Bush proposed last night?
Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA): I don't
think there's much reason to get upset or excited
about this plan. The problem with President Bush's
overall plan is that he still wants to create private
accounts and in doing so takes about a trillion dollars
out of the trust fund over the first ten years and five
trillion over 20 years. I'm not sure how the indexing
of benefits helps the situation – that may restore
some of the cost; to some extent he's trying to
solve a problem he's created.
Raw Story: What problem did he create?
Moran: He's said the problem
is solvency—you don't create a plan that
takes two trillion dollars out of the trust fund.
Raw Story: So you're saying
there isn't a problem with Social Security.
Moran: In 1983 it was fixed, and the
Congressional Budget Office says we're good up
until 2052…Social Security is the only solvent
fund we have in the government today really, its got
1.7 trillion dollars of surplus today. We're going
to have a surplus of two to three hundred billion for
every year until the next 30 years.
Raw Story: If Social Security is solvent,
then what do you think President Bush is trying to accomplish?
Moran: He wants to dismantle a program
that defines what the Democrats are proudest of. That's
what this is about. The Republicans—almost all
of them—opposed Social Security when it was proposed
by Franklin Roosevelt. Almost all of them opposed Medicaid.
They voted against Medicare in 1965. So these are programs
that provide a safety net for the poor and I think the
Republicans basically resent the poor and they figure
if we can get the poor investing in the stock market,
maybe they'll start thinking like Republicans.
God help us.
Except for the religious fundamentalists, most of the
hardcore Republicans have incomes over $90,000. I don't
think it's the taxation system that bothers them,
it's the safety net. They believe in survival
of the fullest. The people who are best off in this
society are the ones who have been the beneficiaries
of all of their policies. And now if they can get people
to invest in—the more money you put into the stock
market, the higher the average value, [the more] it
accrues to the owners of our society. The people who
have enough means to own stock, to own the means of
I think the Social Security thing is all about ideology.
It's certainly not about fiscal responsibility.
If he wanted to get us excited about a crisis, he'd
talk about healthcare, and how Medicare is actually
going bankrupt, and how 45 million people don't
have health insurance.
Raw Story: President Bush is holding
an event to promote his Social Security plan in Falls
Church today, in your district.
Moran: He's having one of these
rallies. Everybody has been pre-selected. Only Republican
Raw Story: There has been discussion
of the fact that the crowds at Bush's events are
carefully screened. Do you think the media is able to
give an accurate portrayal of whether citizens actually
support his plan?
Moran: I think the media is intimidated,
with the exception of Ed Schultz and Raw Story but most
of the media is intimidated by the Bush Administration
so they're intimidated into reporting their disgust
at how they manipulate the news. They got away with
it the entire presidential campaign.
Raw Story: The campaign?
Moran: It may have led to this self-delusion
that he thought by traveling around the country he could
sell this idea. I don't think he has much experience
with regular people that haven't been prescreened,
but the majority of Americans I think by now have seen
through this, and seen that this is not something that's
to their benefit. This is not anything that will improve
Social Security let alone their own sense of personal
Raw Story: Do you really think the
president is sheltered from those he's pitching
his plan to?
Moran: The only actual news that he
reads is the sports section. All the national news,
all the opinions that he gets have been filtered, and
it goes to his daily briefing that has already been
pre-screened to give him what he wants to read. He doesn't
read any books, and he doesn't talk with people
that don't already agree with him. He's
surrounded himself with ideological sycophants. And
the biggest ass-kisser of all is Dick Cheney.
Raw Story: Why do you think the president
decided to take on Social Security?
Moran: Because the Republican base
wanted to take this on. I think they realized that they're
never going to find anybody who is as willing to carry
out the agenda of these Republican right wing nuts and
reverse the course of American progress. This is their
chance. This is their chance to cut taxes down to the
bone. This is their chance to repeal Social Security
and to bankrupt Medicare and Medicaid. And to create
a situation where future generations are going to spend
all their income paying interest on debt instead of
putting it into education or transportation or healthcare.
Raw Story: How would you address Social
Moran: I would propose lifting the
cap, just like Medicare. You pay the same percentage
whatever you earn. I would have done what President
Clinton was proposing which was to set aside a portion
of the surplus. He was going to set aside about 40 percent
of the surplus and that would have made Social Security
solvent ad infinitum. But there's a lot of other
ways we could have done it.
For example, just two weeks ago we passed the elimination
of the inheritance tax. Had we taken the Democratic
alternative, which was to exempt the first seven million
dollars, 99 percent of American families would have
never had to pay any estate tax, and it would have cost
$72 billion in total. Instead, we spent another $220
billion just to eliminate taxes on the top three tenths
of a percent. Two hundred and twenty billion dollars
over ten years. The point is that if we had taken that
money instead, if we had taken that $220 billion, it
would have gone a long ways toward making it solvent.
It's a matter of priorities.
And this budget that we [just voted] on—taking
40 billion dollars out of programs for the poor, including
$10 billion in Medicaid over five years, and we're
cutting more income taxes, dividends and capital gains
taxes, three-quarters of which go to people who make
over $200,000 a year. And yet in the same budget, we
cut $70 billion in taxes, by further reducing the dividend
and capital gains taxes, most of which of course are
paid by the wealthiest. These guys just have no shame.
Raw Story: What did you think of the
energy bill?
Moran: The energy bill was just a
bunch of tax breaks for gas drillers. Some Republican
staffers suggested it was the Tom DeLay MTBE tax exemption
bill. It exempted MTBE producers from any liability
for toxic pollution of aquifers. Not that that wasn't
bad enough—but then it gave them $2 billion in
tax breaks, $2 billion in subsidies, because they're
big supporters of Mr. DeLay. I just don't trust
any of these people to do the right thing for people
in need.

After making disrespectful and insubordinate comments about the Obama Administration to a Rolling Stone Magazine reporter earlier this month, General Stanley McChrystal was relieved of his duty leading the U.S. troops in Afghanistan. President Obama has since nominated General David Patreus to replace McChrystal.
The decision prompted this week's Bank of Sheridan / sheridanmedia.com weekly poll question: "Did President Obama make the right decision when he accepted the resignation of General McChrystal?"

text: Adalaide 363 Report post Posted March 28, 2013 My last appointment with my regular doctor ended with me feeling like he was really just trying to drug me up. I was frustrated and frankly, pissed off, but waited to see my neuro before I did anything else. That was a bust, and I just decided to find a doctor who didn't make me feel like every appointment was more difficult than putting my head through a brick wall. So I went today to see the first doctor I had an appointment with. It was at a clinic and I just was seeing whoever, and I didn't have much hope. I got what little joy I could out of the day when I saw I have lost a few more pounds, before my day was ruined by another doctor. Instead, I saw a PA who treated me like a whole person. He asked questions, ones that made it clear he reads and researches things and attempts to stay current on medical stuff. He actually physically examined me! He said that he can't promise miracles, and he can't promise a cure, but he will promise to do what is within his scope to help me find answers. He says it may well be something incurable, and that most people wouldn't want to hear, but I told him all I want is an answer. If there is help, I'll take it, if it hopeless after that, I will accept it. The first thing he wanted was my medical records, all of them, for the past 4 years. He said he will read through them (not a light task) and then I will follow up. This led to my infuriating discovery. I picked up (in part, what wasn't archived that I am waiting for) my complete medical records from my regular doctor today. Now, this isn't just a doctor's office but a clinic. I usually see "my" doctor but sometimes see his PA and sometimes have to see another doctor. I decided to read through my medical records. There was much swearing (I can't even begin to describe how colorful I was) when I read what was there from last spring. When I freaked out last year about being told I should see a shrink I had no idea what kind of psycho babble that person put in my records. He actually said that I have a psychological/functional issue, and that he suspects my main issue is depression. He goes on to note that my entire issue is somatization. I was quick to google that one and once I realized what that was I went into a complete fit of rage. My chart for 4 years is peppered with depression, depression, depression. I'm not depressed!!!! I have days I'm sad, who the hell doesn't? I am otherwise a happy person though. I am happy with my life overall and while I did at one point in my past struggle with depression, I do not now. I'm both sick, and frustrated and the moronic "professionals" have mistaken my frustration with being ill for depression. Other than picking up my medical records, I have no plans to set foot in that clinic again. I wouldn't grant any one of them the privilege of kissing the fattest part of my ever too ample arse. There are plenty of other things in there to piss me off, but for anyone who reads this, take it as a warning. When your doctor treats you with respect to your face, make sure to get complete copies of your medical records periodically and not just tests. You want to know what they are actually saying about you. In a few days, once I can get my head around this and think straight without seeing red I will write a letter to the doctor I saw most frequently, as well as the psycho babble doctor. They need to know that what they are practicing isn't medicine, and sure as hell isn't in line with any medical oath. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red-bellied Woodpecker Comes to Visit
Lately Bill Maroldo has managed to attract Red-bellied Woodpeckers to his Sugar Land Bird Menagerie and Photo Ranch™, something I have not accomplished in my own patio setup. I hear them occasionally in my neighborhood, but I have only seen Downy Woodpeckers moving along the large branches.
Previously, the only woodpecker photos I have managed were high in the trees or silhouetted against a bright blue sky. This backyard setup has been ideal.
To attract woodpeckers you need to provide food. They will eat insects, sunflower seeds and berries, but suet is a sure thing. Those wire holders are fine if you just want to feed the woodpeckers, but to get nice photographs you need a more natural look. I know, the wire feeders are designed for feeding birds that can hang upside down, but we are taking photos here.
I talked about making setups in Air-conditioned Nature Photography a few weeks ago. Found wood, especially driftwood is ideal. Drill holes in upright logs and fill with purchased or homemade suet. The hole placement gets a bit tricky. Think about the direction of the light and plan accordingly. It is disheartening to finally get a woodpecker to land and then see he is blocked from view by the wood or has a giant shadow across his head.
If you don't have tools, you can just smear the suet behind a knot or on the log itself.
This is a male Red-bellied Woodpecker as the top and back of his head is red. The females have red at the nape of the neck, and a smaller patch of red just above the bill. So far, no females have shown up at the free buffet. They do breed in this area as they are year-round residents in the eastern half of the US.
I didn't notice until I started processing this photo, but he has ... spiderwebs on his front toes. Maybe he found some tasty spiders to eat before he showed up for his photo session. I read that arachnids are a big part of their diet.
All these were shot from the air-conditioned comfort of Bill's sunroom/woodworking shop using a tripod. The RAW photos were slightly enhanced with NIK Color Effex Pro (Detail Extractor and Tonal Contrast) selectively applied to the wood perches.
Speaking of feet, take a look at these. This woodpecker has zygodactal feet, with two toes in front, two in back. This 2:2 arrangement provides superior ability to grip and hold on to trees and limbs, even upside down.
Most birds have a 3:1 pattern with three in the front and one in the back. And remember, the Osprey can reverse one of his toes to better hold those fish he plucks out of the water. I love birdfeet.
And why is it called the Red-bellied Woodpecker?
The Red-headed Woodpecker has a totally red head and also occurs in the eastern half of the US, but its range is a bit north of my part of Texas. The faint namesake reddish coloration on the belly is not prominent; but identification is easy when you learn their calls.
And woodpeckers fly with an undulating trajectory which is quite distinctive.
Any woodpeckers in around your house? They nest in dead trees, or dead limbs of live trees - which must be in short supply in residential neighborhoods. Hopefully there are good sites around the bayous and vacant tracts. Do you feed the woodpeckers in your yard? Let me know in the comments below.

Changing to Vista
When all of you is using Windows Vista, we are still using Windows XP. My husband wanted to change to Vista but our computer memory is not enough. I guess we can only upgrade when we decided to get another desktop or a new laptop. I don't have a laptop anymore and hubby's laptop is very slow so definitely we cannot put Vista in there. Hubby already made his assessment and come up to upgrading the memory first before we install Vista. Well, as long as I can still use this deskstop and it is not slow I am so fine with it. I found online where to get computer memory and it is through memorysuppliers.com. They do not only have memories for computer but also digital flash cards and memory stick. Good thing I found this site since I need memory stick for my sister and additional SD card for my stepdaughter.

Hardwood floor resurfacing is our core service here at Fabulous Floors Charlotte. The majority of hardwood floors have regular wear and scratches from everyday use. Daily traffic and life's events will bring this type of expected wear to any wood floor. Originally, sanding down your floors for a complete refinishing would be the only restorative option for hardwood floors. That's still an option but is not always the best or most affordable option, and that is where resurfacing comes into play.
Hardwood Floor Resurfacing
We restore the original shine of your wood floors without the dust, mess or odor typically associated with hardwood refinishing. The ideal floor that is eligible for resurfacing, rather than complete refinishing, is a floor that has some visible wear with light scratches. The finish is pretty much intact with no signs of bare wood. Separations or warping between the boards are minimal and the majority of the floor is in good shape overall.
Hardwood floors with this type of regular wear don't require the intensity of labor, time and expense of a complete hardwood floor refinishing service. These floors simply need a face-lift and some professional restorative care. We've trained all of our technicians in all aspects of hardwood floor resurfacing in Charlotte, NC. Because of that, you'll be able to notice our skill as we gently sand and buff away any nicks or scratches that may have occurred in the floors as a result of daily wear and tear. Then, we'll apply a coat of high quality, long-lasting polyurethane.
This service is noninvasive to the flooring and to your family. Hardwood resurfacing does not affect the color or integrity of the wood. Our process also does not create airborne dust or fumes, and it is completely Green – safe for your family, our staff and the environment. There is no reason to vacate your home and no mess to worry about. We consider it to be one of the single most cost-effective value-added home improvement available. We provide our resurfacing service at a fraction of the cost of traditional refinishing! We've made our resurfacing process affordable too, only costing 99¢ per square foot.

NM Rothschild and Gleacher Shacklock, the joint sponsors and lead advisers of the demerger, will receive the bulk of payment.
Cable & Wireless
Bankers at Barclays Capital, BNP Paribas, JP Morgan Cazenove, Lloyds TSB and Royal Bank of Scotland will also share in the fees. Lawyers and accountants at Allen & Overy, Linklaters and KPMG will also receive payments for their advice on C&W's plan to split its UK and Caribbean businesses into separately-listed companies.
However, shareholders were told the full-year dividend will not be increased above a planned 9.5p. The company said the combined 2010-2011 dividend will also be 9.5p, below analysts' consensus estimate of 9.9p.
Sir Richard Lapthorne, C&W's chairman, said: "Both businesses have clear and distinctive strategies and we believe demerger will create further value for shareholders."
However, Jonathan Groocock, analyst at Investec, said the split would be "earnings dilutive" and warned that cash cover on the dividend remains "very poor".
C&W has agreed to inject a further £30m into its pension scheme and raise $500m (£313m) through a bond issue in order to pave the way for the demerger.
Current shareholders will receive one share in Cable & Wireless Worldwide (CWW), the UK business, and one in Cable & Wireless Communications (CWC), which operates predominately in the Caribbean.
The company said it had not received bids for either business and was not seeking offers.
Sir Richard will become chairman of CWC. Tony Rice will retain his role as chief executive. John Pluthero will be chairman of CWW. Jim Marsh will continue as chief executive of CWW.
Shareholders will vote on the plans on February 25.

As 2016 comes to close, we are faced with many questions about what to expect in the coming year. Will malware ridden homes become the norm? Will mobile payments continue to mature and find their place in major organizations? Will IoT apps and devices face major attacks? As a long-time cybersecurity practitioner, I can't help but think of the security advancements that are required to keep up with this interconnected, ever-changing landscape. Just as technology advances from year to year, so do hacking techniques.
With that in mind, I've developed ten cybersecurity predictions for 2017. If all my predictions come true, we are in for one eventful (and bumpy) year.
1. Financial Losses and Human Lives through IoT attacks
While there is a lot of talk about IoT attacks, 2017 will bring the seriousness of these attacks to the forefront. Not only will IoT attacks result in major financial losses, there is a high likelihood for loss of life or injury when you look at Connected Cars and Connected Medical Devices. While some of the cutting edge vendors in these spaces are working on securing their devices and apps, a vast majority have not taken it seriously enough. Let's hope that damages will be limited to financial loss.
2. Mobile banking and payment apps will be key targets
Hackers attack banks because that's where the money is. Banks are moving to more mobile banking to offer ease of use, competitive differentiation, and to achieve operational efficiencies. But security continues to lag in mobile code and hackers are going to have a blast exploiting these apps. Many banks and retailers are creating mobile payment apps to reduce their cost and have better control over the payment chain. Most of these apps are severely lacking in security and hackers can easily manipulate these for major financial gain.
3. Cyberterrorism will become more mainstream
There was a lot of talk about hacking during the election, but the reality is that a proxy cyberwar has been going on for some time between various nations -- and it's only going to accelerate in 2017. I expect major attacks occurring at the government infrastructure level, as well as commercial companies at the IoT level, to cause serious damage.
4. More regulatory standards for Mobile and IoT security
Industry associations and federal regulators are finally starting to realize that mobile and IoT have become the weakest link in both our commercial and government infrastructure. With legacy servers and networks more secure, hackers are going after mobile and IoT devices and applications with easy to exploit vulnerabilities. Work has already started at the association level with NIST and at the government level with Congress trying to work on new guidelines and standards for securing IoT infrastructure.
5. Drones will offer a new attack vector
Drones have their own unique identity, but they could be considered mobile or IoT devices as they start connecting with other devices. As Drones are used to deliver more goods, expect drone-jacking and other attacks. Hackers can also cause drones to malfunction with a malware resulting in injuries.
6. Insider attacks will continue to grow and get more sophisticated
Whether it's disgruntled employees attacking to take out anger toward their employer, or employees collaborating with external hackers for monetary gain, these types of attacks will continue to grow because they are easy to execute.
7. Retailers will get attacked at various levels
Retailers are focused on creating new ways to generate more revenue and beating the competition. Mobile and IoT applications are the new and exciting areas for retailers to create differentiators. But in the haste to create these applications, security is usually an afterthought -- and hackers know that. I expect to see cyberattacks at both the mobile and IoT level at some of the largest retailers.
8. Connected Homes will see malware infections grow
More and more, home owners will start using connected devices without understanding the security implications. There will be malware that finds its way into these devices and is exploited at the right time whether for ransomware or some other malicious purpose.
9. More IoT DDoS attacks
Hackers are already selling botnets on the dark web to be used to launch attacks. Mirai was just the beginning which will bring all kinds of new hackers into the playing field.
10. Ransomware will continue to bear fruits
For the hackers that is. And it's a low hanging fruit. Hackers have realized these are easy pickings as consumers and companies would rather pay and not deal with the hassles and loss of productivity.

You might not consider Stouffville, Ontario the cultural destination for live music, but after the Guinness World Record for Longest Concert by Multiple Artists is broken at a bar in the small city, that could change.
With the help of just under 400 bands and 100 volunteers, Epidemic Music Group is setting out to break the record for Longest Concert by Multiple Artists by playing 24 hours of live music for 16 days straight. We repeat: 16 days straight.
At first, Epidemic Music Group lead producer Kevin Ker wanted to break the record for bragging rights alone, but then it grew into something "far greater" once they started incorporating charities and looking at the idea of celebrating the feat alongside Canada's 150.
The record currently belongs to Las Vegas.
"Stealing the record from the States is pretty exciting," Ker said. "[Las Vegas] is a 24-hour city and we're taking it to a small town in Canada. In essence, it shows the strength of the small community."
If the attempt is successful, the planning committee has plans to celebrate the achievement alongside Stouffville's annual Strawberry Festival, which runs from June 30-July 2.
"That's the big Stouffville event—they close the whole street down street down," he said. "I think we're going to do something special on Canada Day to celebrate. It makes sense and ties everything together."
The prospect of playing over 380 hours of live music is already daunting, but there are even more stipulations that can derail the record attempt: No more than five minutes between acts, no more than 30 seconds between songs, the same song must not be played more than once in a four-hour period are just a few of the restrictions.
But Ker says most of them are attainable. He anticipates the most challenging part of pulling the feat off will be having 10 people in the crowd awake at all times.
Among the 400 acts coming out to play, Ker singled out Dave Lawlor (who has played with Canadian band Glass Tiger) and indie rock band Wildlife as two sets to look forward to. But he also told us to stay tuned for more exciting performer announcements to come: "There's some pretty awesome names that I can't say just yet."
To keep things interesting, the planning committee has incorporated giveaways, raffles and competitions into the event. And if that's still not enough to get you out, Ker says you should attend simply for the novelty of the experience.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," he said. "How often to get to roll into a bar at 4am, watch a band and be part of a world record?"
What: Longest Concert by Multiple Artists Guinness Record Attempt by Epidemic Music Group
Where: The Earl Of Whitchurch in Stouffville, ON (directions here)
When: Starts Friday, March 17, and will run round-the-clock for 16 days (or longer)
How Much: $5 per person is the suggested donation, but 100 per cent of funds raised go directly to charity.

The impact of roof hail damage can loosen, fracture, or remove granules from your asphalt shingles. The granules protect the asphalt matting of your shingles from sunlight and Ultra Violet Light (U.V.). The asphalt can deteriorate very quickly once exposed to the sun. This is the main reason a hail-damaged roof will prematurely fail. Hail damaged roofs may or may not show up immediately as visual damage to the inexperienced observer. The results of a hailstorm will void the shingles manufacturer's warranty, as they cannot warranty against "acts of mother nature" such as hailstorms.
So the question is: Who is qualified to provide you with a roof damage inspection?
It's important to hire a roofing contractor that has a HAAG Certified Residential Roofing Inspection Certificate.
What is HAAG Engineering?
HAAG Engineering is the nation's leader in the forensics of roof damage detection and analysis. Roofing contractors certified through HAAG are considered experts in the field of roof damage detection from natural disasters such as hail, lightning, and hurricanes.
Why does it matter to hire a HAAG Certified Roofing Contractor?
The whole process begins before you contact your insurance company. After all, you don't want a claim on your record if you don't have any damage on your roof, right? Right! So choosing the best roofing contractor to provide you with a thorough inspection is the first crucial step. Your roofing contractor has to be able to tell the difference between roof hail damage and several other types of roof damage, such as blistering, granule loss, foot traffic and manufacturer's defect.
What is the benefit of hiring a HAAG Certified Roofing Contractor?
Your insurance company will see your claim as legitimate, as it has been pre-screened by a qualified and credible individual who understands coverage exclusions, limitations and requirements.

Jack Trelawney- Author Visit
On Monday 19th June, Key Stage 2 had a visit from Jack Trelawney- a published author. Jack spoke to the children about how he gets his ideas for his stories. Explaining that he mostly writes about things he knows about. He also likes using pictures to get his ideas. He read a few chapters of his story 'The Crystal Pool' which the children enjoyed.
After the assembly, the children followed up his visit in different ways. Year 6 did some drama which focussed on the made up creatures he spoke about and Year 4 wrote stories which included a creature they had made up themselves. The visit certainly inspired the children to write and be creative with their ideas.

IBERVILLE PARISH - Authorities have arrested a man accused of sneaking into a family's home, raping a 6-year-old girl and threatening one of her relatives.
According to the Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office, 52-year-old Patrick Callegan of White Castle was questioned after he raped the girl Sunday morning. Callegan reportedly entered the home without permission and sexually assaulted the child.
The sheriff's office says the adults who were in the home at the time did not see or hear him enter the house.
Investigators questioned Callegan Monday and advised him to stay away from the child and her family. After Callegan left the sheriff's office, he sent a text message to one of the victim's relatives, threatening to kill them.
Callegan has been arrested for first-degree rape, unauthorized entry into an inhabited dwelling and tampering with a witness.

- Must be a degree-seeking student at CSU in good academic and judicial standing.
- Good academic standing means: 2.0 cumulative undergraduate GPA or higher (3.0 or higher required of graduate students); must not be on academic probation.
- Good judicial standing means: applicants must not be under judicial sanction or review by the Office of Judicial Affairs. Students may not have any current sanctions in violation of the Student Conduct Code including: recommendation of expulsion, recommendation of suspension, disciplinary probation, reprimand, restitution, restriction, community service, counseling, holds, or other which would prevent success abroad as determined by the CSU Office of Judicial Affairs.
- Must have completed one (1) successful semester at CSU if a transfer student or two (2) successful semesters if new first-year student; CSU students in first-year ("freshman") status may not study abroad.
- Must be in good standing with the Office of Treasury Services.
- Must be enrolled fill-time at CSU in the semesters immediately prior to and during the education abroad experience.
- Must demonstrate the ability to pay the full costs of education abroad program participation.
- Must not be a Ohio College Plus participant.
- Who are Project 60 students will be considered on a case-by-case basis for participation in CSU Faculty-led Programs Abroad (FLPA) only.
As part of the general education approval review process, the following items are considered for each education abroad program:
- Location and General Safety of the Education Abroad Program:
- Education abroad programs that are located in countries where a U.S. Department of State Travel Warning is in place will be considered on a case-by-case basis. CSU students should not presume that education abroad participation is a given in these localities. CSU reserves the right to bar participation in certain study abroad sites or localities.
- U.S. Department of State Travel Warning or Alert (or similar government announcement)
- The applicant's general preparedness for the Education Abroad experience (ex: foreign language capability (if needed); at the appropriate academic level, etc.)
- Senior Class Standing
- Note: Without exception, any undergraduate with 90 credits or more must complete a fast-track petition to be exempted from the "senior residency rule" unless residency credit is earned via the education abroad program (CSU exchanges or faculty-led programs only).
- Institutional standing and reputation of the foreign university, college, or school issuing a transcript for education abroad program credit transfer
- The academic institution must be accredited by the Ministry of Education.
All students planning to study abroad must submit an application for approval to the Center for International Services and Programs (CISP). Applications will be reviewed by the CISP in consultation with relevant campus offices.
- Faculty-led Program Abroad (FLPA) applicants complete the program's specific approval application only. Please visit the website of the individual faculty-led program website to download the specific program application form.
- General Approval Application Form is for students seeking to study abroad through an affiliate or reciprocal exchange program. This application is a student's declaration of their intention to study abroad and to seek permission from CSU to be approved and placed "on approved leave."
- Application Booklet Includes more information to help students through the application process.
- After gaining approval to study abroad as a CSU student on an affiliate or exchange program, students will then apply for admission to their selected program.
Senior Residency Requirement
Any undergraduate student in their senior year (above 90 credits) seeking to study abroad through an affiliate (program provider or direct enrollment option), earning study abroad transfer credit at CSU, must complete a University Petition that is 'fast tracked" through their College adviser for an exemption to the senior residency rule. Information regarding the residency requirement can be obtained from the University Regulations section of the Undergraduate Catalog and from their adviser.
Senior standing is reached whenever an undergraduate student has earned 90 or more credit hours. Please consult the Class Rank section of the Undergraduate Catalog for more details.
The University Petition consists of:
1. University Petition Form available from a professional academic adviser in the College Advising Office
2. statement from the student (paragraph) about why they wish to study abroad in their senior year
3. statement of support (two or three sentences) from the chairperson or undergraduate program director of the student's major department (or Faculty Adviser) stating that the student's graduation plan will not be negatively impacted and that the tentative course selection/experience will enhance the student's program of study
4. letter of support for study abroad in the senior year from the CISP education abroad adviser
These four items should be collected by the College academic advisor (professional adviser in the College Advising Office) who will in turn submit the documentation to the Office of the University Registrar for processing. This University Petition does not go before the committee, it is fast-tracked and automatically approved when received.

This week on Facebook, the world has been doing a little time travel through profile pics, by posting an image of themselves from way back. Some have posted baby photos, others horrors of the seventies and eighties with feathered mile-high bangs and wretched polyester outfits. I decided to play along, since I needed to rev up my rarely-used scanner for some nursing school documents.
I shuffled through a box of photos under my bed and found some that were indeed a bit horrific...but this is the one that I was looking for in particular. The reason I was looking for this photo is not that it accurately captures how I actually looked when I was about 11 years old (though my family would say it does), but because it captures how I remember myself during the time that my childhood memories are full, bright and relatively accurate and complete. I was old enough to really remember myself and my world. And this is how I remember myself.
If I really scrutinize the photo, it's the eyes that reach out to grown-up Katie. My eyes are the same. Not just the shape and color, but what they say and how they express. Little Katie in this photo looks at me, and gives me what I seem to be searching for these days in my life: someone to see me...to hear me...to understand me; to look past the trappings of the exterior and to see inside me with emotional and intellectual x-ray vision. When I look at this photo, the girl looking back gets me. She's looking out with love. You can tell that she loves the person she's looking at. Twenty-five years ago, when the image was snapped, it was her mother. Today, she's loving her grown-up self...a self that could use a little of it right now.
It's a good lesson, I guess. Perhaps what I'm searching for is not out in the great unknown. Maybe I'm looking too far. Maybe, like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, I should be looking in my own back yard. In a way, it's comforting. If it can be enough that I get myself, understand myself, hear myself...then I don't have to depend upon someone else to fill that space. Then, when I run across people who can also see me as I want to be seen, and love me how I want to be loved, then it's just serendipity. It's a worthy goal: to be able to be whole and happy with your own self-love and understanding. Not an easy one, but a worthy one. And I'm not one to back down from a challenge.

I've been wanting to try glass etching for a while now. I love the frosted look and liked the idea of doing it at home. I finally got some etching cream at a reasonable price and decided to start small with a jar. It was very easy and took 20min total. The more complicated your design the longer it would take. Etching creams are a bit pricey generally going for $40 or more but you only use a little bit at a time so the bottle lasts a while. The bottle I got came with an application brush too as it is a pretty caustic chemical. Its not something I recommend you do with kids.
What you need:
Etching cream and brush
Glass jar, bottle, dish etc
Stick on stencils or painters tape.
I used painters tape to try it out and if your design is all straight lines I think its a great way to go. It pulls off easily and leaves no residue.
Start by cleaning your glass well. You don't want any oils left on so its recommended you use rubbing alcohol although I just used dish washing liquid and hot water then gave it a dry with a microfiber cloth.
Tape off the area you want etched. I went for 2 thin lines the whole way around the jar.
Apply the cream evenly and reasonably thick. You don't need to cake it on but you don't want to be seeing the glass underneath or it wont etch. Do this in a well ventilated area.
Wait 15-20 min then rinse off with water. Don't rub with your hands use a cloth or gloves. Either air dry or use a cloth and you're all done. Its that easy.
I used this jar to make a recipe in a jar and gave it away the next day for Christmas with a bit of ribbon around the top.
What would you like etch? Is it for yourself or would you give it as a special gift?
