BOSTON, Mass. – Former New England Patriots player Garin Lee Veris was named the new Director of External Business Development and Marketing at the University of Massachusetts Boston by Vice Chancellor of Athletics and Recreation, Special Projects and Programs Charlie Titus. Veris will be responsible for the procurement of major gifts to benefit the continued growth of the UMass Boston Division of Athletics and Recreation. He comes to the university with over 10 years of development and major gift experience at the University of New Hampshire, Marquette University, and Stanford University. Veris will begin his new position on March 5.
"We are fortunate to have Garin Veris, with his extensive background in collegiate and scholastic administration and development, join our team as the new Director of External Development," says Vice Chancellor Titus. "After an exhaustive search it became apparent that Garin was a standout among many extremely strong candidates.
"There are great things happening at UMass Boston these days—new facilities, growing programs, enhanced teaching and learning, new research, and winning teams. In the midst of this tremendous growth, our athletic programs are enjoying unprecedented success in competition and in the classrooms," Titus continued. "I am pleased that Garin has accepted our offer and we are all excited to have him join our team."
"I am extremely excited about being named the Director of External Business Development and Marketing at UMass Boston," Veris says. "The university's combination of athletic history, research emphasis, and community engagement, among so many other strengths, made accepting this position an easy one. Under the direction of Vice Chancellor Titus, I look forward to engaging UMass Boston alumni and friends of UMass Boston Athletics from across the country to secure the necessary resources and support for our athletic department and our student athletes. This combination of support and energy will allow our student athletes to compete at the highest levels and excel in the classroom. With a strategic approach to generating support for our programs, we will be able to accomplish the ambitious goals established Chancellor J. Keith Motley as part of the campus-wide strategic plan. Together, we can help take UMass Boston to the next level of academic and athletic success."
While at the University of New Hampshire, Veris served as the Co-Director of Athletic Fundraising and was the department's major gift officer. During that time, he managed over 150 major gift prospects, and helped to increase the annual scholarship funding by 30 percent in his first year. As chair of a UNH fundraising committee, he secured over $1 million for the Wildcats ski program. He also headed implementation of the strategic plan for a $1 million campaign to establish an endowed football scholarship.
No stranger to the city of Boston, Veris has also served as the Director of Recreation for the entire city. Appointed by UMass Boston alumnus Mayor Thomas M. Menino '88, Veris managed a staff of six and over 60 recreational events annually. As part of his responsibilities, he oversaw one of New England's largest summer basketball programs, working with over 800 participants and major organizations such as the Boston Celtics and Comcast. Veris also served as a member of Mayor Menino's Strategic Crime Council and has collaborated with all major New England sports organizations, as well as the Boston Police Athletic League.
A standout athlete, Veris competed at the highest levels throughout his life. A native of Ohio, Veris was a four-time Track and Field State Champion in the shot put and discus at Chillicothe High School in Chillicothe, OH. Named a High School All-American in track & field, basketball, and football, Veris went on to have one of the most memorable football careers at Stanford and would later be inducted into the Stanford University Athletics Hall of Fame.
In 1985 Veris was selected in the second round of the National Football League (NFL) draft by the New England Patriots. In his rookie season Veris not only helped the Patriots to Super Bowl XX, but he was also selected to the National Football League's All-Rookie Team. Veris would eventually end his professional career as a member of the San Francisco 49ers. In 2009 he was named to the Patriots 1980's All-Decade Team.
A graduate of Stanford University, Veris earned his doctorate from Boston College Law School.

Terrorists or those who run terrorist operations terrorize us for the enjoyment of the payoff. The payoff is witnessing the terror and despair evidenced by society at large. If they terrorized just those AT the terror event, it would be worthless.
The way to disrupt their enjoyment is obvious: by forgoing the all the news coverage and political jawboning and threats or revenge and remembrances which come afterward. In other words, by turning a situation like the recent terror attack on the Boston Marathon into a non-event or 9/11 into a nonevent.
It's contrary to our nature it seems, but it would work. It might not end every act of terror, but after a while it would assuredly cut their frequency way down,
Views: 310
I've read this line two days ago on wired:
Terrorism is not just violence aimed at civilians. Terrorism is violence aimed at civilians with a political objective — most often, designed to cause a spectacle.
turning the spot lights away from such incidents may change the game.
Unfortunately, politicians see these incidents as a chance to get in the public eye in a positive way and journalists start thinking Pulitzer Prize.
It might work. Just like asking all Americans to stop overeating might end obesity.
This idea of controlling the media works.
As proof I give you North Korea.
It is overkill. Taking away the non-stop-media-bombardment of panic and confusion would definitely work.
Why would you want to deprive our society of their insatiable appetite for human tragedy? We seem to eat it up and ask for seconds. I'm all for banning it from the airways but in this age of twitterdom and facebook these events will still be exchanged & communicated at fiber optic speed.
If they are Islamic terrorists, that's not going to work. They are not about wanting spectacles, more so political revenge for the west being involved in the Middle East.
They want the most public events they can take credit for. Rest assured, they are not about secret attacks. All the hooplah is the evidence we give them that their attack succeeded.
I was ambiguous in my last statement. I was talking more so of Al Qaueda.
They only care about if their attacks succeeded and caused damage. Everything else to them is secondary. The lone wolves that try to emulate them are a different case though.
Despite what most people think, Al Qaueda is more of a political terrorist organization than they are a religious terrorist group. Religion is just the convenient justification and recruitment tool. Their goal is cause terrorism until Western nations especially UK, France and US gets the heck out of Mid East and leave them alone.
I wonder what a criminal psychologist would say.
I completely agree. I wonder what would happen if the US did stop covering stories like this in the way we do now. Make it second line news rather than front page. I'm sure that is completely unrealistic, but it might work. But, at the same time, asking people to not drive drunk doesn't work, so asking people to quit 'rubber necking' situations like this is a lost cause. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't need to see an event repeated for several days in a row to know it happened. Cover it once and then let it go. Let the people affected by this grieve in peace, rather than being reminded of the tragedy several times a day for weeks, sometimes even months after the event.
I don't know if it would slow down the acts of terrorism, but I'm sure it would make it better for the people who are right in the middle of it all.
Another thing. Rather than reporting that some group is claiming responsibility for a terror attack, why not require news agencies to report that they are claiming irresponsibility.

Perfect Baby Shower Gift Ideas for Moms and Dads
For most soon-to-be parents, a baby shower is a way to celebrate the upcoming or recent birth of a precious child by "showering" the parents with gifts.

'Switched At Birth': Bay's New Guy, Daphne's New Crush & More Scoop
'Switched At Birth' star Katie Leclerc gives HollywoodLife.com a taste of the drama to come in Daphne's life. (Hint: It involves cute guys — and knives.)
Switched At Birth's seemingly never-ending first season continues Sept. 3 on ABC Family, and things are about to get crazy hot — in the kitchen, of course. HollywoodLife.com chatted with star Katie Leclerc about the new batch of episodes, and she gave us all the scoop on Daphne's crush-worthy boss, the shady new guy in Bay's (Vanessa Marano) life, and so much more.
1. Kitchen dreams: "Daphne's biggest priority, as these new episodes start, is finding a job," Katie says. "She wants to work in a restaurant kitchen, but the owners are worried about her not being able to hear in a potentially dangerous environment. She figures out ways to compensate, and I think that's what her eventual employer [Justin Bruening as Chef Jeff] will ultimately respect about her. He's very handsome, too, so I think she's pretty happy about that. I think, like any 16-year-old girl, Daphne is a little boy crazy — so there's definitely room there."
2. Bay's return: "When season 1C starts, real time has passed," Katie explains. "A summer has gone by, so there's been time for healing — but also time for running away. Bay went to the Galapagos, which is a great place for her to go, and she comes back at the top of the premiere episode. She's got a new boyfriend, and everybody's like, 'What's going on? What are you doing?' … I think Daphne and Emmett have reconciled; They've spent hours and hours lamenting his mistake, and she knows he knows it was wrong."
3. About that 'new boyfriend': "I can tell you that Alex is Bay's boyfriend from the Galapagos," Katie reveals. "She comes back with him, and I think the Kennishes are very surprised because Bay's basically gone from guy to guy to guy without any breaks. From Daphne and Toby's perspective, I think they're also concerned about Bay because they actually know what happened [between Bay and Emmett.]"
4. And then there's Angelo: "This dude has been around and left about a hundred times before, so what does 'around' really mean?" Katie points out. "That's what Daphne is struggling with. If this guy says he's going to say — which I'm not saying he is — then she's not going to trust him. She understands he's not 100 percent bad, so she might have moments of connection with him, but she's not going to let him into her life."
5. The lawsuit: "I'm really excited that the lawsuit story gets wrapped up in these eight episodes," Katie admits. "I think the way the writers divied out the wins and the losses, and what that means for the two families, was done in a really clever way."
What's your take on Katie's spoilers? Any predictions about Daphne and her boss, Bay and her boyfriend, or Angelo? Drop me a comment with your thoughts and theories!

The resource has been added to your collection
Working in pairs, students will create experimental conditions in terrariums in order to study what plants need to live. Variables to study include the presence or absence of soil, water, and sunlight. Students will record the growth of radish plants as well as observations of "the water cycle" in their terrariums. At the conclusion of their experiments, students will share their results with the class and discuss how water, Earth materials, and air are all necessary to support living things. The activities use commonly-available or inexpensive materials (e.g., chart paper, clear soda bottles, potting soil, radish seeds, paper towels, water, tape, foil, and index cards). This is the first of three sets of learning activities that are companion activities to the Elementary GLOBE children's book, All About Earth: Our World on Stage. Includes a teacher implementation guide. GLOBE (Global Learning and Observation to Benefit the Environment) is a worldwide, hands-on, K-12 school-based science education program.

Red Hot Chili Peppers Drummer Chad Smith Apologizes For Soccer Joke in Brazil
Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith may be known for his playful spirit and sense of humor but it seems that in Brazil, some things are not to be joked about. The drummer has been feeling the heat since having some fun with soccer fans at a recent appearance.
It all started when a fan threw a Flamengo club jersey on stage during Smith's drum clinic. Smith waved the soccer jersey in the air receiving cheers from the crowd. He then proceeded to turn around and stick the jersey down his pants, pretending to wipe his behind with it before tossing the shirt.
His actions were met with immediate boos from the crowd and eventually even lead to some death threats against the drummer who was seemingly just having fun with the fans.
Smith has now issued a public apology for the incident, sharing the following message on his Facebook page: "I want to apologize for my inappropriate antics at the drum clinic. My joke about team rivalries went too far. Clube de Regatas do Flamengo fans...I'm sorry."
His apology was met with a barrage of comments in support for the drummer who appears to be taking it all in stride.
Smith will join his bandmates in the Red Hot Chili Peppers for a show tonight (Nov. 9) in Rio de Janeiro.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
While last week's Conference on Climate Change in Durban, South Africa produced scant results, it did provide the backdrop for an interesting exchange between Israel and at least two nations officially "at war" with the Jewish state.
Jewish National Fund representatives said their booth was approached by representatives from Iraq and Tunisia seeking help in fighting desertification in their countries, reported Israel's Yediot Ahronot newspaper.
The head of the Iraqi delegation, Susan Sami Jameel Albanaa, who is head of air pollution control at the Iraqi Ministry of the Environment, requested Israeli assistance, and hoped an open dialogue on the issue of desertification could be kept open between her office and the Israeli representatives. Her colleague, Mohamed Bahir, also asked the Israelis for help in controlling greenhouse gas emissions.
Among many other visitors to the Israeli booth was a representative from Afghanistan who reportedly swapped stories with the Jewish National Fund officials, and concluded by saying he had never conversed with Israelis before and was very glad for the opportunity.

It's the annual speech that political pundits love to hate.
Often derided as an extended "laundry list" of presidential priorities, the State of the Union address has often been a tool for partisan political combat rather than a thoughtful review of the most important policy issues facing the nation.
Those complaints have some merit. But despite the bad rap, the State of the Union speech, which President Barack Obama is scheduled to deliver at 9 p.m. EST Tuesday, is a valuable opportunity used by presidents from Ronald Reagan to Bill Clinton to set the nation's political agenda.
"State of the Union speeches actually have more impact than many believe," said Dotty Lynch, a professor of public communication at American University. "In the past, a large number of legislative items [highlighted in the addresses] actually got enacted. Beyond that, they allow the president to 'throw out the first ball,' to set the terms of upcoming debates over legislative priorities."
Obama hopes to use the State of the Union to create momentum for his second-term agenda. Here are five subjects the president will focus on during his Tuesday night speech:
1. Immigration
The White House believes that 2013 is the year for comprehensive immigration reform. "I said this is going to be a top priority and an early priority of my administration," President Obama said in a speech last week in Leesburg, Va. "I am heartened to see Republicans and Democrats starting to be in a serious conversation about getting this done. Now is the time."
Many Republicans agree. The simple fact that Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a leading Republican supporter of immigration reform, is delivering the official GOP response to Obama tells us a lot about the changing politics of this hot-button issue.
But Obama is not going to cut the Republicans any slack. He is planning to push for a pathway to citizenship for the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants currently living in the U.S. Some Republican consultants are worried that Obama — by keeping the issue on the national agenda — will create divisions within the opposition.
"It's going to be very hard for a fractured Republican Party to coalesce," said GOP social media strategist Vincent Harris. "The immigration debate will be what really fractures us."
2. Guns
How serious is the White House about emphasizing gun control at the State of the Union? Serious enough to pack the galleries with survivors of gun violence and family members of its victims. First lady Michelle Obama will be seated next to the mother of Chicago schoolgirl murder victim Hadiya Pendleton, and dozens of Democratic congressmen plan to invite guests who underscore the same message.
Capitol Hill is awash in gun-related celebrities. Rep. Steve Stockman of Texas, has invited rock musician and gun-toting, gun-rights activist Ted Nugent to attend the speech. And Virginia Tech shooting survivor Colin Goddard on Monday delivered copies of petitions with about 35,000 signatures to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee demanding support for gun-control measures.
That sets the stage for an evening of political theater. White House strategists believe that have a winning political issue — whether congressional Republicans defeat all gun-control measures this year or whether some bipartisan laws are implemented. Obama uses the proverbial carrot-and-stick approach: As he explained at a House Democratic retreat last Thursday, "there are regional differences here and we should respect those — and guns mean something different for somebody who grew up on a farm in a rural community than somebody who grew up in an inner city and they're different realities and we have to respect them." Still, he concluded, "there are some common-sense steps that we can take and build a consensus around. And we cannot shy away from taking those steps."
3. Jobs
Obama's second inaugural address on Jan. 21 focused on his liberal vision for American progress, with very little discussion of the economy. That's sure to change in the State of the Union, administration officials say.
"From the very orchestrated leaks from the White House, it looks like the president is trying to bring back the jobs issue, which he downplayed in the inaugural address," said Lynch. "We are also hearing that his tone will be far more provocative than his 2009 appeal for bipartisanship."
White House officials say the president's job agenda will include additional spending on the nation's infrastructure, a renewed focus on American manufacturing, immigration reform and development of alternative energy sources. Republicans will respond that government spending needs to be cut — not increased.
4. "Balanced" deficit reduction
The password is "balanced." In other words, the president will demand additional tax revenues — some call it "tax increases" — to go along with any spending reductions. You're sure to hear about "fairness" and a demand from Obama that even the richest — and the oil companies — contribute their fair share to "balanced" deficit reduction. In Obama's terminology, a "balanced" approach is "bipartisan." The GOP's cuts-only approach is "partisan game-playing."
In a preview of the spin battle to come, Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee, declared that Republicans "refuse to work with us, insisting on a partisan plan that we know will not create jobs, or reduce the deficit."
"President Obama and House Democrats have already offered a balanced plan that would save American jobs and get our fiscal house in order," Van Hollen said. "The president has consistently pushed for a large deal to reduce the deficit and stabilize the debt by the end of the decade. And that offer is still on the table."
5. Energy independence
With domestic production up and dependence on imported oil down, Obama will look beyond fossil fuels to reach energy independence. White House officials say the president will cast investments in "clean energy" as one of the best ways to boost manufacturing employment in the U.S. Among the proposals he's likely to mention: assembling solar panels, retrofitting buildings to make them more energy-efficient and construction of windmills. Oil companies won't get the same kind of love. They're likely to be targeted with a recycled proposal to end energy industry tax breaks in the name of "fairness."
Here are five topics not likely to make the president's State of the Union laundry list:
1. A Balanced Budget Amendment
Deficit hawks, including Texas Democratic Rep. Pete Gallego, are pushing for the adoption of a constitutional amendment to require a balanced budget. It's safe to say that Obama will not embrace that idea. He's not even likely to endorse the concept of balancing the federal budget or announce a push for major deficit reduction. A hint: In his weekly Internet address on Saturday, Obama said the nation is "more than halfway towards the $4 trillion in deficit reduction that economists and elected officials from both parties say we need to stabilize our debt."
2. Drones and targeted assassinations
Obama has been criticized by Senate Democrats for his authorization of unmanned drones to target terror suspects for death. While a new poll by the Pew Research Center finds that a majority of Americans back the president's policy, the White House isn't going to be emphasizing that point in the speech. One major reason: Democrats and liberals are more likely to criticize the drone attacks than are Republicans. Obama has no reason to anger his core supporters, whose enthusiasm he needs in upcoming partisan battles.
3. Gitmo
The president's most prominent policy flip-flop is his decision to maintain the military detention facility in Cuba. "I have said repeatedly that I intend to close Guantanamo, and I will follow through on that," he told CBS News' Steve Kroft shortly after his 2008 victory. Five years later, the president is unlikely to remind Americans of his broken promise — even though a massive majority agree with his change of heart. Again, it's liberal Democrats who are most unhappy with the commander-in-chief here.
4. Leak prosecutions
Candidate Obama said he would "usher in a new era of open government." But whistleblowers say they are being systematically targeted by the administration for criminal prosecution. The numbers speak for themselves: The Obama Justice Department has used the World War I-era Espionage Act to prosecute more government officials for alleged leaks than all previous administrations combined. Civil libertarians are outraged. Obama has tried to avoid the subject.
5. Mission to the Moon
Unsuccessful 2012 presidential candidate Newt Gingrich promised a mission to Mars by his second term. Obama has made no such promise about Mars, the Moon, an asteroid or any other tangible next step in human space exploration following the end of the Space Shuttle program. It's a combination of cost and politics, analysts say. The administration doesn't want to launch an expensive new program during an era of spending austerity. And it feels little political pressure to reward Texas, which hasn't supported a Democratic presidential candidate since 1976.

NEW LONDON, Conn. -- Senior Lukas Laplante and classmate Adam Scalesse both earned New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) weekly honors.
Laplante, the catcher on the baseball team, had quite a week to earn Player of the Week honors. He hit .545 going 6 for 11 during the week. He hit the first two homers of his career in a 6-5 win over Clark as the Bears swept a doubleheader in the final home games of his career. He had a 1.182 slugging percentage for the week, scored four runs and drove in four more.
Scalesse earned NEWMAC Men's Track Athlete of the Week honors as he bettered his mark in the 110 hurdles by running a Division III best 14.27 at the Larry Ellis Invitational at Princeton as he remains ranked first in the nation in the event. He also finished fifth in the 400 hurdles in 53.54.

UC Irvine's student council has asked the university to withdraw any investments that benefit from Israel's claim to land in the longstanding border dispute between Israel and Palestine.
The Associated Students voted 16 to 0 to urge UCI to stop investing in Caterpillar, General Electric, Hewlett-Packard, Raytheon and other firms that "contribute to illegal settlement construction in the occupied Palestinian territories," according to a statement.
The students pledged in the statement to scrutinize other UCI investments for companies that profit from what they deemed human-rights abuses.
Palestinians in 2005 called for boycotts and sanctions against Israel. UCI students said they were inspired by similar declarations at Hampshire College in Massachusetts and Evergreen State College in Washington state.
UCI student Sabreen Shalabi, who co-authored the recommendation, said 20 to 30 students began collaborating on the statement in summer.
"I felt as a student of conscience it was my duty to do something," she said.
Shalabi pointed to the case of 11 UCI students, the so-called "Irvine 11," who faced misdemeanor charges for conspiracy and disturbing an assembly after they protested a speech at the campus by Michael Oren, Israel's ambassador to the U.S. Of those initially charged, 10 were convicted by a jury and their case is being appealed.
"Palestine has always been an issue on our campus," Shalabi said. "People working on this have always been aware of this. We felt this was a very good outlet."
UCI released a statement saying it would not take the proposed action, saying it would risk the campuses goals of global collaboration.
"In the spirit and practice of active engagement with all peoples of that region, UCI has been extremely pleased with recent global collaboration between leaders and researchers here and those at top universities around the world, including Israel," the statement read. "The campus looks forward to continued constructive exchanges that benefit our students, faculty and community."
Policy requires action only when demanded by the U.S. government, according to the UCI statement.
Members of Jewish student groups on campus could not be reached Wednesday afternoon.

Big data is one of the, well, biggest trends in IT today, and it has spawned a whole new generation of technology to handle it. And, with new technologies come new buzzwords: acronyms, technical terms, product names, etc.
Even the phrase "big data" itself can be confusing. Many think of "lots of data" when they hear it, but big data is much more than just data volume.
Here, in alphabetical order, are some of the buzzwords we think you need to be familiar with.

On 27 April 2005, the Hongkong born Danish Princess, Her Highness Alexandra, visited Grundfos' factory in Souzhou near Shanghai.
The Princess was welcomed by Vice President for Corporate Communication Sune Salling-Mortensen, as well as Works Manager Jens K. Siersbaek and General Manager Ken Tan from the Suzhou factory.
"It is a nice factory, and it is good that a lot of pumps are sold in Asia", said Princess Alexandra who was very attentive and interested in how the pumps are produced.
During the conducted tour of the factory Ken Tan explained to the Princess how the production works, and the Princess also got the opportunity to talk to a female employee.

Miami Heat Say Goodbye to Mike Miller
After three seasons and two NBA championships, the Miami Heat parted ways with Mitchell native Mike Miller this week, waiving him on Tuesday, but his departure isn't going unnoticed in South Florida.
Friday morning's South Florida Sun-Sentinel featured a full-page ad, paid for by the Heat, thanking Miller for his time in Miami. (Click on the image below to see the full ad)
Miller told the Sun-Sentinel he is going to miss being a part of a very special group of players:
Our team, what we put together three years ago, was unbelievable players.
But the people, the guys in the locker room, have been great.
There's stuff you're just going to miss. You're going to miss walking out that tunnel with these guys, collecting that ring next year with these guys.
Those are tough things. Those are things you'll definitely miss.
Former Heat teammate, Chris Bosh, is among those singing Miller's praises. Telling the Sun-Sentinel:
We can't find a replica of Mike Miller.
All we can do is just hope to make up the ground that we've lost.
Our challenge has started already, pretty much, because we've lost a significant part of our team.
I think everybody knows what a big-time player he is and what he did not only in both Finals but in the playoffs and the regular season.
His sportsmanship and his clutch shooting — he's one of the best shooters in the world.
He bailed us out of a lot of situations.
He made a lot of big shots. It's going to be tough without him.
I wish it wasn't this way.
But the business of the NBA is tough sometimes.
There is an upside to the 'business' part of things for Miller: he'll still get most of the $12.8 million Miami owes him.
As for his future, after failing to reach an agreement with a new team Thursday, Miller became a free agent. Early speculation has the Oklahoma City Thunder high on the list of potential destinations for next season.

Oops I did it again or lets better say, oops I made another one.
Since I had all day to myself I really went for it and kicked out another dress after finishing the one in my last post.
This one is a bit more 1960s babydoll style. It is again a lovely printed crepe de chine dress. The bodice is fully lined again and the sort of skirt bit is partly pleated around the empire waist line.
It sits very lose and is therefore one of the most comfortable styles to wear. It is also absolutely fantastic for this time of year as it hides any excess Christmas weight.
Edit 1.01.2010 This item is sold already. If you want me to make one for you in your size, please get in touch.

More Americans are working and the unemployment rate is falling, but it sure isn't showing up in workers' paychecks.
Since the Great Recession ended five years ago, the amount of money Americans earn each hour after adjusting for inflation has actually fallen. And that largely explains why the U.S. economy is growing just 60% as fast as it normally does.
Hourly wages have risen about 10% overall since June 2009, to $24.45 an hour. But over the same span they've slipped 0.3% in "real" or inflation-adjusted terms.
That means most families are just treading water.
No wonder retail sales and purchases of other goods and services lag well behind the pace of consumer spending in the boom years of the late 1990s and early to mid-2000s. U.S. households simply don't have a lot of spare cash lying around to splurge like it's 1999.
What's surprising is that hourly wages remain stagnant despite a big uptick this year in the number of jobs created. Real wages have been flat for two straight months and they haven't risen at all in six months.
How bad is that? The government only started collected hourly wage data for all employees in 2006. Yet an older report on the earnings of nonsupervisory workers - that is, excluding bosses - suggests the last time the U.S. experienced a worse six-month stretch was in 1992.
To be sure, the wage data could be revised later on to show the situation was not as bad as originally reported. Yet even if that's the case, wage growth is unquestionably very disappointing. Companies can be very choosy about who they hire because of a slack labor market and they have more bargaining power than prospective employees when it comes to setting salaries. More companies also rely on temps and part-timers, especially in faster growing industries such as retail that don't pay great in the first place.
The lack of wage growth is the chief restraint on U.S. growth. The economy has historically expanded at a 3.3% annual pace, but the U.S. has only averaged about 2% growth since 2010.
The one small consolation in the wage outlook is that an improved economy is keeping workers on the job a bit longer. So the average weekly paycheck has risen 1.7% overall since the recession ended, adjusted for inflation. It's not much, but it's better than nothing.
Federal Reserve officials and many private economists insist wage growth will accelerate as the unemployment rate moves lower and workers gain more bargaining power as companies compete for a dwindling pool of talent. Yet recent history is not reassuring.
The average weekly paycheck of nonsupervisory workers, for instance, rose just 1.7% from the end of the recession in 2001 to August 2007, when the U.S. began to slide into another downturn that officially began in December of that year.
So wage growth has been generally weak for more than 15 years.

Homework 4: Implementation of the Prototype
Assigned: Monday, June 9, 2014; Due: Monday, June 16, 2014 (note: no late turn-ins for HW4!)
Using the design that resulted from all your testing and revisions from Homework 3, you are now going to implement the interface. You can use any way to implement your prototype such as those that were discussed in class (see Lecture 7 which includes links to various places to download versions of the implementation tools).
PART A: There is only one part to this assignment: to implement your interface. You should implement at least enough that all your user tasks can be completed, with sufficient feedback so the users can see what the system's responses are. You should simulate actions of your device. For example, if you were doing a copier, when the user clicks "Start" you might display a screen or dialog boxes that says everything about the current operation, for example: "now copying, 2-sided, no staples, using paper tray #1". If there are parts of your user interface you do not implement, there should still be controls (buttons, sliders, etc.) that would lead to those parts of the interface, but instead lead to screens or dialog boxes that say "not implemented yet" or something. That is, all of the screens you show should look complete, even if all the operations do not necessarily function. As another example, if you have a "search" button, it is fine if the search-results screen always shows the same thing, no matter what is searched for. As we have said a number of times, the complexity of the interface should be: "At least 30 "controls" (widgets: buttons, text fields). About 10 different screens/pages/windows/modes".
Also create a short "readme.txt" file that describes what one can do with the prototype. This will guide the TAs on what is supposed to work. For example, tell what paths through your interface are working. If you pretended that the user searches for "aspirin", mention that kind of thing in the file. The "readme.txt" file should also contain your task test script that you will use for the user test, so the TAs and others will know what you will tell users to do. Put the readme.txt file in the top level folder where the implementation is so it will be at the top level of the .zip file.
- The deliverable for PART A is the complete implementation. If you have a web-based implementation, like for Balsamiq online, include the URL in the readme.txt file, and just turn in the readme file, but change the name to be HCI-HW4-lastname-firstname.txt. If you have a regular implementation, just zip up your entire directory structure including project files, the readme.txt file, etc. Name your file: HCI-HW4-lastname-firstname.zip, for example: HCI-HW4-myers-brad.zip. Put this file on blackboard in the Assignment 4 area. NOTE: Make sure it will be easy for us to run your system, and to see the source code. Make sure any required images are included in the zip file, and include the "readme.txt" file explaining how to run your application.
Important Notes:
- It must be easy for us to run your implementations. Note that it should be runnable on either a PC or a Mac. Points will be taken off if we have trouble making it run. Points will also be taken off if you forget to include your source code. It would be a good idea for you to test your zip file or URL on another computer to make sure you remembered everything.
- Make sure all the pathnames (filenames) of any pictures or sound files you use are relative pathnames, so the project will run when it is moved to the TA's computer. For example, the filenames should not start with C:\ or file://c:/
- We really need everyone to turn in this assignment on time, so we can give your final implementation to your classmates.

ANAHEIM, CA -- Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger wants California to become the "Fitness State." Schwarzenegger, along with numerous celebrities, announced the launch of the California Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, a nonprofit, non-partisan organization that will promote the health benefits of physical fitness, exercise and sports for all Californians.
The celebrities on hand to make the announcement were U.S. Open tennis champion Lindsay Davenport; baseball legend Reggie Jackson; professional skateboarder Tony Hawk; World Champion and Olympic medalist Michelle Kwan; Julie Foudy of the U.S. Olympic Gold Medal women's soccer team; exercise and fitness pioneer Jack LaLanne; and U.S. Olympic Gold Medal gymnast Peter Vidmar. The athletes are all be members of the council.
"Nowhere on earth will you find greater opportunities to lead healthy and active lifestyles than right here in California," Governor Schwarzenegger said. "With the new Active California program working in partnership with the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, we're going to do even more to improve the health and well-being of all Californians."
The Council's mission is to establish California as the nation's first "Fitness State" and to encourage all Californians to set and commit to achieve their personal exercise and fitness goals. As a first step, the Council is creating "ActiveCA," which challenges Californians to be physically active at least three days a week. Californians can join "ActiveCA" on the Web, or by picking up applications at retail outlets, parks and schools throughout the state. When they register for the program, Californians can set their activity goals, track their progress and find fitness tips and challenges. Individuals who succeed in meeting a four-week activity challenge will be eligible to receive rewards from the Governor's Council.
For more information about the California Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, visit www.ActiveCA.org.

Anyone who has had anything to do with an old truck probably knows the damage rust can do. It can show up just about anywhere and is usually easy to spot, but one of the worst locations to have to deal with it is one of those you can't normally see, and that's inside the gas tank. Rusty gas tanks can cause a multitude of problems that range from simply clogging up filters to virtually destroying the fuel system. And while those are potentially pains in the gas they pale in comparison to the emotions generated when you and your hauler roll to an unexpected stop in the middle of nowhere with a plugged up fuel system.
To deal with a corroded gas tank there are only a couple of options: replace it or fix what you have. New tanks can be spendy but there is an affordable alternative-saving what you have with a KBS Coatings Fuel Tank Sealer Kit-that's the course we chose for editor Ryan Manson's F-1.
The KBS kit comes with everything you need to seal a tank of up to 25 gallons including AquaKlean (a water-based, heavy-duty cleaner/degreaser) and KBS RustBlast (a powerful rust remover/metal etch). These prep products feature Oxygen-Block Technology, which reduces the occurrence of flash rust by over 80 percent and extends rust-free storage times by leaving a temporary protective coating in addition to a zinc phosphate film. After the tank is prepped the Gold Standard Fuel Tank Sealer is applied. This single component, ready-to-use sealer is specifically formulated for coating the inside of new or repairable steel, aluminum, and fiberglass tanks and not only stops corrosion the tough, fuel impervious coating will also seal small pinholes and weld seams.
Using the KBS kit is simple enough, but it is important that protective gloves and safety glasses are worn, work in a well ventilated area and follow the included instructions to the letter. Proper preparation is absolutely essential, without it the coating will fail. And, if the tank was previously sealed with any other product, it must be removed-a paint stripper containing methylene chloride will be the most effective method to accomplish that.
To effectively clean and seal the tank it must be removed from the vehicle and any fittings such as floats, sending units, and filters removed. After sealing all the openings with duct tape or cork-like stoppers AquaKlean diluted with hot water is used to clean the tank (heavy deposits of gum and varnish may require extended soaking and/or the use of a pressure washer).
After flushing and drying the tank the next step is to pour in full-strength RustBlast, an acid metal etch it will neutralize existing rust and create an "anchor pattern" ideal for the sealer to adhere to. It's important that RustBlast doesn't dry on the surface to prevent too heavy of a zinc phosphate buildup which can adversely affect the sealing process. After coating all the tank's interior surfaces by sloshing RustBlast around the remainder is drained and the tank rinsed.
The final step is coating the inside of the tank with Gold Standard Sealer. It's critical that the tank is rolled and turned to ensure all surfaces are coated and that all excess sealer is drained to prevent puddles. Remaining sealer can be painted on the outside of the tank to help seal pinholes and weld seams, and any additional material should be collected in the can with lid off and allowed to harden (do not put lid on can before curing is complete as pressure may build within can and pop the lid). Leftover sealer cannot be saved and re-used once it has been exposed to atmospheric conditions as it will cure and harden in the can.
Properly applied the KBS gas tank coating kit will eliminate the problems normally associated with rusty tanks, will seal small pinholes and best of all it's an affordable means of curing a real pain in the gas.
KBS FAQs
Q. Does duct tape provide a sufficient seal to allow you to rotate, turn, and invert the tank without the sealer spilling all over the place?
A. Yes, duct tape or electrical tape works well. Also, a piece of cork or rubber will seal small tubes.
Q. What's the best way to prevent the sealer from getting on the screw threads?
A. Apply a small amount of oil (WD-40 or similar) to the threads, and if the sealer dries on those threads, it will peel right off.
Q. Any other tips, "tricks of the trade", suggestions, etc.?
A. Be sure the tank is completely dry before using the sealer. Apply a thin film of oil wherever you don't want the sealer to stick. Do not allow the sealer to "puddle" in the tank. If the tank has baffles or a design which does not allow for complete draining of the excess sealer, keep rotating the tank (every 10 min or so) as the sealer cures to help prevent pooling & puddles.

A criminal street gang is a collection of people engaged in a pattern of promoting, furthering, or assisting any felonious criminal conduct.
The criminal street gang statute was enacted by our legislature effective January 1, 1993 as a direct response to a rise in the level of violence and hate by persons who apparently wanted to claim the streets of our cities as their own. The foundation for the criminal street gang statute is based on a very old principle of law prohibiting criminal conspiracies (an agreement between two or more people to commit an unlawful act, coupled with at least one overt act done for the purpose of furthering the conspiracy).
Criminal street gangs are invariably territorial, and frequently ethnically grounded. The Contra Costa District Attorney's Office understands how truly dangerous to both persons, and principles of freedom, criminal street gangs are. This Office also recognizes that not all persons who wear a certain color, carry themselves a certain way, or promote principles of cultural identity are members of a criminal street gang. Indeed, those very fundamental principles promoting diversity are a source of great strength to Californians as a people.
It is for this reason that those who commit felonious crimes in the name of promoting cultural identity are some of the most insidious and dangerous people there are in a free state. They attack the very foundations of freedom.

The tiny school sits in a census tract where the median household income of $21,194 is less than half the national figure of $50,054.
Look around the neighborhood, and it shows. But the students have their eyes on something else.
After class at Our Lady of Hope Home School on Walden Avenue, they stick around for tutoring by volunteers or OLH grads. The world outside – with the traps of East Side life – can't compete with what they find in here.
"I think I have the whole world by studying," said eighth-grader Viadel Reyes, 14, whose artwork adorns the school's walls and earned him a scholarship to an Albright-Knox Art Gallery program.
There are thousands like him throughout the city who – with the right environment, nurturing and support – would be just as motivated. The fact that they aren't says more about adults than about the kids. At Our Lady of Hope, it really is about the kids.
The pre-K through eighth-grade school, part of St. Luke's Mission of Mercy, started with 13 kids six years ago and grew to the current 38. The teachers come from closed Catholic schools, though it's not supported by the diocese. Tuition and uniforms are free, thanks to donors, as are field trips to events such as University at Buffalo games to show the kids "there's life outside the East Side … but you have to work," said attorney Mike Taheri, OLH director.
They also need support to make up for what's missing in parts of the East Side. Not many suburban students take the bus to SATs or have to be given dress clothes for going to interviews – typical challenges at OLH, where the goal is to extend the school day because it's the best place for some kids to be.
The support ranges from college tours to help with high school entrance exams and scholarship applications.
"They're always, like, a phone call away," said Sydnie Perkins, 18, an OLH grad who went to Holy Angels Academy and now majors in psychology and communications at Canisius College.
"Everyone is so close; you have a really good bond and connection with the teachers," said Tiffany Velado, 18, a Spanish and international relations major who also followed the OLH-Holy Angels pipeline to Canisius.
I met Taheri after a recent column about coming up with concrete, measurable steps – not more meetings – to save kids in troubled neighborhoods. He had something he felt worked. And while OLH doesn't give Regents exams, he pointed to another metric as proof: All its grads get scholarships to top-shelf Catholic high schools and colleges.
"These kids are as bright as kids anywhere," said Paul Lewis, a retired suburban educator who tutors at OLH.
Holy Angels President Joan Thomas gushes over OLH and says its grads come to her school "very well-prepared."
So, is OLH widely replicable?
Perhaps not. At best – as Thomas suggests – troubled city schools might zero in on a few kids and give them intense support like OLH kids get.
But beyond that, maybe Our Lady of Hope simply stands as an example of this: All kids can learn.
That, in itself, is educational for a society that doesn't really believe it.

Happy New Year!
Here's a sample of a few favorite foods I'm indulging in this New Year's Eve: Humboldt Fog Cheese, Cerignola olives, and slices of pear.
2006 has been a year of discovery and insight for me, like few that have come before. I'm certain this year will not fade in my memory, indistinguishable from the year-before or the year-to-come. This year has been one of many beautiful moments for me. Beautiful small moments. Moments where I've seen things I'd always been too busy to notice before. A year in which I've felt closer to my childhood self than ever before.
It's also been a year of cruel and painful realizations. A year that promised and delivered renewal, but was, perhaps, a little too dreamy, even for me, a daydream believer (the first record I ever owned) to believe in. A year that once seemed ideal (on a purely personal level), has ended in a strange No Man's Land of confusion and uncertainty. But, such is life.
The best thing about 2006 has been discovering and becoming a part of the food blogging community. The exchanges and connections with food bloggers local and around the globe has been an awesome experience. Writing this blog for the last almost-year has also been a wonderfully enriching and self-defining experience.
Thank you and a very Happy New Year to all of you who have shared this experience with me, and supported me with your comments and enthusiasm. You are the Golden Ones!

GRT Avionics now sponsors Lewis & Clark Performance, featuring the "World's Smallest Jet" Airshow and the FLS Microjet.
"GRT avionics systems provide our FLS Microjet with one of the most advanced cockpits ever developed in the experimental aviation industry," said Microjet builder and pilot Justin Lewis. "I chose the GRT Horizon EFIS system when I built the Microjet because it's capable of providing me with vitally accurate information while operating in a variety of dynamic environments, whether it's during an airshow performance or flying precision radar testing profiles for the government. We are thrilled to have GRT as a sponsor for the 2013 airshow season. With GRT's support, The FLS Microjet will continue traveling to airshows across the country."
In July 2011, Lewis & Clark Performance brought back a modernized version of the tiny BD-5J called the FLS Microjet to the airshow circuit. Remembered as "James Bond's Jet" and made even more popular by the former Coors Light "Silver Bullet" jet team, the FLS Microjet is considered to be the "World's Smallest Jet."
"Lewis & Clark's Airshow is a fascinating up-and-coming act that we're happy to have on our team," said Katie Bosman, GRT Marketing Director. "Justin demonstrates the precision and reliability of our EFIS systems every time he flies, and we're proud that he chose our system for such a demanding environment."

Don't you mean crieing? They're warmers!
It's irrelevant that they're warming since they've already been sold to the retailers. Hasbro also saved cash by not having to to create any new molds or paint schemes. Hasbro made made tons of money off of greatest hits. If anyone is going to loose money, it's the retailers.
So, while Hasbro is undoubtedly laughing all the way to the bank about the H&V/GB assortments right now despite their pegwarming status that would make the Rancor Keeper and Sabe proud, the massive glut of those assortments at retail could end up hurting Hasbro (and us) in the long run.

Meet Lois Jenkins
Lois Jenkins' workspace tells a story. The many papers, files, books and archives are neatly organized, as are the desktop icons visible on the 20-inch computer screen so useful for editing. Quirky sayings and funny photos mark the area of someone who frequently attests to the power—and necessity—of laughter. A fantasy print hangs on the wall, while balls of colorful yarn brighten a corner and bespeak an off-hours hobby.
Program coordinator in the Marketing/Communications Office for more than a decade, Jenkins holds a range of responsibilities, including implementing internal and external communications, editing and coordinating the publication of numerous electronic and print publications, and updating several webpages while also handling the day-to-day operations of the busy office. Her many accomplishments include the editing of Accreditation Self-Study reports in 2005 and 2011. For the recent report, Jenkins was responsible for the compilation and online documentation of hundreds of individual source documents.
"Lois is fantastic at her job," says Marisa Spatafore, director of Marketing/Communications and Jenkins' nominator. "She's an exceptionally talented writer, editor and proofreader, and outstanding at keeping multiple projects going simultaneously. At the same time, she's a linchpin of leadership among our classified professionals." Jenkins serves on seven campus shared governance groups, committees and subcommittees, including as co-chair of the Finance and Educational Resources PBT. Formerly president of the Classified Senate, she is now a senator.
"I think serving on different shared governance committees, both on campus and at the district level, has allowed me to understand our campus community and appreciate the hard work and dedication of my colleagues," says Jenkins.
According to Jenkins, she likes working in a creative environment, which the Marketing Office provides on a daily basis. She adds that what she likes best about working at De Anza is "the opportunity to have great friends and colleagues across campus to work, talk and laugh with every day. I'm proud to be part of a college that puts students first."
Jenkins earned an associate degree in liberal arts from West Valley College and a bachelor's degree in English with a concentration in creative writing from San José State University and also undertook graduate work in journalism and mass communications at SJSU. She had returned to college in her forties after being "a full-time mom to three sons, who have given me five beautiful grandchildren whom I adore." These sons, their wives and grandchildren are featured in the digital frame that adorns Jenkins' desk. Their photos also flash on the screensaver of that 20-inch computer screen, which Jenkins uses in the writing of Campus Memo, including all the Employee of the Month profiles. (Except this one, of course.)
