Avoidance of Traffic Signals
A lot of the accidents here in Springfield seem to be caused by drivers being in too big of a hurry. They are late for something or need to be across town in just a few minutes. This rushing around causes drivers to drive much too fast to get where they are going and sometimes causes them to use poor judgment.
Drivers that are in too big of a hurry sometimes avoid the traffic signals at intersections by cutting across a private lot to avoid a red signal light. This decision is very dangerous to other vehicles and pedestrians in the lot. Drivers tend not to observe backing vehicles or pedestrians walking out between the vehicles.
This decision is not only dangerous, but is against city ordinance. A driver can be issued a summons for cruising a posted lot (078-190 A) or the following summons for avoidance of stop signs or traffic signals.
Sec. 106-185. Avoidance of stop signs or traffic signals.
The driving of a motor vehicle onto, across and out of any commercial property on the corner of any street intersection without stopping on the property for the purpose of transacting business solely to avoid a stop sign or traffic signal is prohibited. For the purpose of this section, transacting of business shall mean that the driver or any occupant of the motor vehicle enters the property with the intent of stopping to engage in a transaction with the proprietors or their agents or employees of the business for which the premises are licensed.
Please drive safely and obey all traffic laws.

Get your sweet tooth ready, it's National Pie Day.
Bakers at Holy Childhood have been busy rolling out delicious pies of all flavors.
The Special Touch Bakery at the Holy Childhood employs folks with developmental disabilities. The Bakery makes more than 16,000 pies a year, mostly for area restaurants and senior living facilities. Organizers say the bakery teaches its bakers life lessons. Kelly Hallenbeck of Holy Childhood said, "The other thing about the bakery is that its sort of like an assembly line, so you have to work together, you have to keep up, you have to go with the pace of the group, not of your own. So they learn so many different things that can be applicable in so many different areas of their lives."
There are 50 area restaurants and senior living centers that sell Special Touch Bakery pies. You can also purchase one at the Generosity Store at 39 South Goodman Street in Rochester.

What things did you do to alter your pain management?
While you're waiting for responses here, I hope you'll also post on our Fibromyalgia community . I believe there are some members there who have more than one diagnosis, including FM/RA.
- Yes, I have both conditions. I found that the prescriptions strength naproxen my rheumatologist gives me, plus an occasonal Tylenol #3 (ONLY WHEN i AM REALLY HURTING) does the trick. I also juice in the evenings, carrot, apple, kale and celery, organic produce only. I take digestive enzymes plus vitamin D, folic acid and selenium, b vitamin complex and flaxseed oil, organic, cold pressed. The apple juice can be constipating so get enough fiber either in your diet or as a supplement. My sense of smell has returned, I sleep and digest well and I have much more energy than I did on the meds alone. Best of luck to you.
- Cathy
RA, OA, COPD, Fibromyalgia, Degenerative Disc Disease, and about 6 more other conditions. The chronic pain sometimes is all I can focus on, (lately I've been having some success by acknowledging the pain and set it aside). I have depression of course and recently had to up my anti-depressants and engage the use of a counselor for some cognitive behavior therapy. I find rest, low stress, eating somewhat healthfully, regular exercise, and sharing the faith, hope, and love that I have received from others are the things that help me walk through this one day at a time.
My symptoms ebb & flow. Muscle pain throughout my body, thankfully not the extremely sensitive kind, worst ongoing is in my upper arms, they feel like they have been slapped with a 2x4 with the 4 inch side and feel deeply & painfully bruised, and of course they are not bruised, just feel that way. Fibro fog comes & goes, and any kind of thinking beyond the ordinary and routine gets to be very difficult and fatiguing. Memory issues like a piece of Swiss cheese. I can sit down, drink a large cup of coffee and get so sleepy and fatigue that the nearby couch is a better alternative than walking all the way down the hall to the bed room (20 feet). As I have been reading the postings I have closed my right eye as the blurriness of trying to use both makes it impossible to see, thankfully it is only the near vision that this gets to be intolerable. Finally found some good footwear (Crocks) for the numbness, tingling, and overheating of my feet. Stress can set in in my shoulders and neck making them very painful.
If I can just get up out of my chair and get moving I usually feel better. I have a reasonable exercise plan that I follow, More often than not have a reasonably healthy diet. My goal is 8 hours of sleep a night, but have yet to attain 100% use of my CPAP, (about 11,000 hours in 7 years, and recently O2 was added). My 12 & 10 year old boys require a fair amount of my available energy and usually the housework gets what's left over. The house is livable but certainly not spotless, nor does the yard ever come near qualifying for the 'Yard of the Month', but have yet to get a cleanup and cut order from the local governance. Thankfully my Spouse is the cook in the house and that takes a load off. Fibro pain has been mitigated significantly with the use of Lyrica, somewhat from an additional dose of Cymbalta, and for the really bad times, a TENS unit. I can now ride in the car with my arm resting on the armrest, no longer too painful to touch. Fatigue has been tempered with the addition of Nuvigil. Now I can drive the 8 miles from town without wanting to pull over and rest.
Don't know if this post was easily followed, my time is up, look at the positives,
& Best Wishes.
"Look, one day I had gone to a little village. An old grandfather of ninety was busy planting an almond tree. 'What, grandfather!' I exclaimed. 'Planting an almond tree?' And he, bent as he was, turned around and said: 'My son, I carry on as if I should never die.' "
"015 Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba the Greek
Feeling a little better after 2 years, but still having strange lower leg pain that keeps me awake at night...They feel like "hot mud" and just ache even though I have not done any exercise...I also have places on my body such as upper arms and especially my rib cage where pressing will cause throbbing that lasts for 5-10 minutes and feels almost like a bruise...compared to same pressure in another spot that just goes away when pressing is stopped...My RA doc thinks fibro and prescribed Lyrica. Anyone have experience with Lyrica?
It is terribly expensive....
Fibro pain, as I'm sure you noticed, is tricky. People like to talk with their hands and tap or poke. This can cause extreme pain. I've had to tell people I know well to please not do that. For everyone else I try to stay far enough away so they can't reach me easily.
For pain right now I am take 5-10 mg of oxycodone if I really need it. I take Cymbalta. I take clonazapam to help me sleep. Without sleep I'm worthless.
Hope you find what you need.
It's just never ending what stuff crops up, and it never seems to stop...oh well, I try to look on the optimistic side of things...

Daniel Ellsberg Documentary
Posted by Bruce Robinson in war , speaker , protest , politics , news , media , journalism , jail , international , history , government , events , election , Congress , author , activism
A single significant act of civil disobedience, one that may have changed the course of American history in the 20th century, is chronicled in the new documentary film, The Most Dangerous Man in America.
Daniel Ellsberg (seen here a in 1971 news photograph) was arrested and faced serious criminal charges for making public the highly classified "Pentagon Papers." But the case collapsed in a mistrial, when it was revealed that the Nixon administration had interfered in it, initially by engineering a surreptitious burglary of the office of Ellsberg's psychiatrist. Looking back on those events now, film-maker Judith Erlich (below) says, it's entirely plausible to see Ellsberg as the catalyst for Richard Nixon's downfall.
Having spent considerable time with Ellsberg over the five years it took to make the film, Erlich says she is convinced and appreciative of the sincerity of his motives, both in 1971 and over the years since.
Daniel Ellsberg was interviewed on the North Bay Report in November, 2006, prior to an appearance in Sebastopol. Here is that archival report.
This is the trailer for The Most Dangerous Man in America, currently showing at the Rialto cinemas Lakeside in Santa Rosa.

As she competed in her very first beauty pageant last December, Hannah O'Donoghue could hardly believe it as her named was called out as winner of the Miss Butler County USA contest
"It was awesome," she said. "I cried."
The Cranberry teen now has a chance to bring home an even bigger title—Miss Pennsylvania USA.
A senior at Seneca Valley High School, O'Donoghue, 18, will compete for the crown at the Miss Pennsylvania USA pageant this weekend at the Hyatt Regency Hotel at the Pittsburgh International Airport in Moon.
As Miss Butler County USA 2012, O'Donoghue receives automatic entry into the Miss Pennsylvania USA pageant, where contestants range in age from 18 to 26. The winner of the contest moves on to the nationally televised Miss USA Pageant. The Miss Teen Pennsylvania USA pageant also takes place this weekend.
"I am a little nervous, mainly just for the final show," O'Donoghue said of going into this week's pageant.
An honor roll student and a member of Seneca Valley's Graphic Arts and Arts clubs, O'Donoghue said she became involved in the pageant world last year after the Marilyn E. Kane Modeling School and Agency set up a booth at her school to seek out prospective pageant candidates.
As the urging of friends, and later, her mom, O'Donoghue said she decided to take part in the Miss Butler County USA pageant.
"I did it just for fun and I ended up winning," she said.
Along with Miss Butler County USA, the Marilyn E. Kane Modeling School and Agency are O'Donoghue's sponsors in the Miss Pennsylvania USA pageant.
Taking place over three days, 53 contestants from across Pennsylvania will compete in interview, swimsuit and evening gown competitions. O'Donoghue also will attend rehearsals for a group dance and a photo shoot.
Although the weekend will be a whirl of events, O'Donoghue, who also works as a supervisor at YuM Frozen Yogurt in Cranberry, said she is most looking forward to meeting her roommate for the weekend.
In case there are any attacks of nerves, O'Donoghue also has a few past contestants from Cranberry to lean on.
O'Donoghue said who was crowned Miss Butler County USA in 2011 and was a finalist in the 2012 Miss Pennsylvania USA pageant, and Alex Pacinda, a semifinalist in the Miss Pennsylvania Teen USA pageant, both offered her advice for the weekend—as have her parents.
"They're really supportive," she said. "They just want me to go out there and have fun and not stress about it too much."
Want to support Hannah as she competes for the title of Miss Pennsylvania USA this weekend? Wish her luck in the comment section below!

Four adults and a child were displaced after flames spread through their Aberdeen home Saturday night, the Maryland State Fire Marshal said.
Nobody was injured in the Dec. 29 fire on the unit block of Defense Drive in Aberdeen, according to the fire marshal's report, which stated the Susquehanna Hose Company assisted two other crews in putting out the blaze.
Just before 11 p.m. Saturday, a child discovered that an unattended candle had caused a fire in his bedroom and he told his grandmother, the reported stated.
The grandmother and her brother tried to fan the flames with a blanket, but the fire and smoke grew so they left the house and alerted a neighbor, who called 911, the report stated.
The child's parents, who also lived in the residence, were not home at the time of the fire, which was reported at 10:53 p.m., according to the fire marshal.
The fire marshal said that the Susquehanna Hose Company, Aberdeen Fire Department and Aberdeen Proving Ground Fire and Emergency Services responded to the fire, which took 20 minutes to bring under control.
Firefighters from Havre de Grace arrived at 11:06 p.m. and made sure the fire had not spread after it was knocked out plus conducted a secondary search of the building to ensure all occupants had escaped to safety, according to a report from the Susquehanna Hose Company.
The fire marshal said there was $100,000 in structural damage and $25,000 in damage to the contents of the one-story Aberdeen duplex.

Stanford grad pleads no contest in stalking case

As a victim of a nearly identical crime several years ago, i am happy to see this case prosecuted. These malicious actions can destroy reputations and be incredibly stressful for the victims. In my case I had no idea who was doing this until we were able to identify the IP address of the company it was sent from through which i was able to identify the individual. It's annoying to see her attorney basically claim that the perpetrator was the victim, what BS. If that is the case, plead not guilty and let it go to trial.

Is Stanford going to revoke her degree? I feel it would be the right thing to do, after all, do they want to put their 'seal of approval' saying that this person is a capable, trustworthy individual when she is obviously more interested in personal vendettas?
on Jan 30, 2013 at 8:38 am
The last I heard, a Stanford degree (or any college degree) is just an indication of completion of required academic work. This woman apparently did complete her academic work. The criminal record associated with this transgression will unfortunately follow her around in her professional life. Revoking the degree would be too extreme. Maybe there is some nuance here I'm not catching, like she committed these acts on Stanford computers on campus.
on Jan 30, 2013 at 10:13 am
The victim was a Stanford student, so presumably she was hacking his Stanford-owned accounts.
on Jan 30, 2013 at 10:19 am
This has not been a good month for current and former Stanford students. In addition to this woman, another Stanford woman and her parents were busted for being a part of a burglary ring at the Stanford Shopping Center. And the Kwame Harris (Stanford class of 2003) incident in Menlo Park was just made public.

HOUSTON – Nine people have died from the West Nile virus in Dallas County, and one person has died from the virus in Harris County. Now many people are preparing for the worse.
Health officials are trying everything to get rid of mosquitoes carrying the West Nile virus in the Dallas area. The problem is so bad that it has been declared an epidemic.
""It's scary," said Jenny McNeil. Who was in Houston heading for Dallas. "I get mosquito bites all the time."
Houstonians headed to North Texas are concerned.
Garry Brydges said he'll be sure to wear repellant. Brydges was flying to Dallas Friday afternoon.
In Houston mosquito control experts use traps to determine which mosquitoes carry the virus. They spray insecticide in areas where the virus is found.
While mosquitoes carrying the virus are under control, birds are another story. Many more have died from the disease this year, compared to last year.
"That's a red flag for us," said Mosquito Control Director Rudy Bueno.
Fifty-nine birds have died this year and 13 died last year.
Mosquitoes get the virus from birds.
So far, West Nile has been kept in check in Harris County.

Daily Insight for July 16, 2012
Daily Insight: Can you hear me now? New study on plant floor hearing loss
Hear this – loud and clear: A new study by the University of Michigan School of Nursing finds that three-quarters of factory workers said their hearing was excellent or good. Then they were formally tested, and the results showed that 42% had suffered some hearing loss.
"This finding shows that even workers who are served by a workplace hearing conservation program and receive annual hearing testing may be unaware of their actual hearing ability," said Marjorie McCullagh, assistant professor in the U-M School of nursing and principal investigator. "Consequently, health care providers would be wise to examine methods to help workers develop more accurate perceptions of their hearing, and test more effective methods to protect it."
In fact, the Michigan study found that even with the most stringent workplace care, including a hearing safety program, there was still consistent examples of hearing loss.
Plant Engineering will take a deeper look at this issue later in the year. For now, though, it is a good time to examine your employee hearing prevention and testing efforts.
A jolt of good manufacturing news: Starbucks is better known for the 500-volt jolt that caffeine gives you first thing in the morning. The company has been putting the American jobs issue out front in their stores through the Create Jobs For USA Fund, and now it has two new initiatives designed to stimulate job growth in a more traditional way.
First, the company is investing $172 million in its first company-owned manufacturing facility in Augusta, Ga. the plant will manufacture the Via coffee packets and drink mixes for is blended coffees, such as Frappuccino.
Starbucks also has partnered with an Ohio ceramics company to manufacture its new line of coffee mugs. The move has revitalized the region's traditional ceramics business, and put more people back to work at that plant. In addition, $2 from the sale of every $9.95 mug will go to the Create Jobs For USA Fund. So their efforts are coming full circle.
And can you say this about YOUR community? In the press release from Starbucks about the plant construction, there was this quote from Peter Gibbons, executive vice president of Starbucks' global supply chain operations. "With access to a skilled labor force, advanced technology, and critical transportation and logistics infrastructure, Augusta is a great example of how building high-tech manufacturing facilities in America makes good business sense while supporting the communities where our customers and partners live and work."
That's all it takes to build a $172 million plant in Augusta, Ga.? That seems so simple. So why aren't more communities doing just that?
Turns out they are, as you'll learn in Plant Engineering's Mid-Year Report in August.
And if you're not able to say that: Maybe you need a program like the one Snap-on Industrial, Gateway Technical College and the National Coalition of Certification Centers (NC3) are hosting on Aug. 2. They will have a workforce roundtable to discuss job training and the role technical colleges and industry play to achieve that goal from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Snap-on Innovation Center in Kenosha, Wis.
The theme of the roundtable discussion: "Bridging the Gap Between Tomorrow's Opportunities and Today's Realities," aims to bring employers, educational institutions and policy makers together to share perspectives and ideas on advancing workforce skills training and ensuring the needs of business and the economy-at-large are being addressed. Attendees include leadership from national technical schools, leaders from regional businesses and government policymakers.

Rowley Town Notebook, Michelle Pelletier Marshall
Newburyport Daily News
---- — So you think you can cook? How's your chili recipe? Take a chance on being the best by cooking up your hottest batch for the 11th annual "Some Like it Hot!" Chili Cook-off, which will be held Saturday, March 9, from 5 to 8 p.m. at The Governor's Academy in Byfield.
Contestants may enter in one of three categories: red chili, green chili or meatless chili. Entries will be judged by five local celebrities.
This family event includes craft activities for kids from 5:30 to 7 p.m., along with raffle and door prizes. Scott Bernier and The Three Amigos Trio will perform. It's not only chili on the menu either. Cornbread, hot dogs, vegetables, desserts and an assortment of drinks, including beer and wine, will be available.
Those who wish to enter the contest, which is sponsored by the nonprofit Friends of the Rowley Public Library, can download the entry form and rules at www.rowleylibrary.org. The deadline for entries is Friday, Feb. 28. For more information on the Chili Cook-Off, contact Janet Peabody at firstname.lastname@example.com or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Triton Regional School Committee will meet Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the high school library.
Pine Grove School students will perform the "Princess and the Magic Pea" on Saturday at 1 and 5 p.m. at Triton Regional High School. Tickets are $10 for general admission and $15 for premium seating. Contact Amber Quigley with questions at email@example.com or 978-471-9032.
Triton Regional High School senior Justin Kelley of Newbury has been accepted to the All-State Jazz Band, designating him as one of the top 15 trumpet players in the state.
"This is the first time in several years that we have had a student make it to this level, and possibly the first time in our history that we've had a student make the All-State Jazz Band, which is the most selective state group," said Sue Densmore, Triton Arts program coordinator. "Justin is a well-rounded musician who has an innate musicality that allows him to play beyond just capturing the music. When he plays, he speaks to people."
Kelley also plays guitar and snare drum and writes music. He'll also be participating in this year's school musical, "Anything Goes."
Kelley will attend the All-State Festival Feb. 28 through March 1 at the World Trade Center and Seaport Hotel in Boston. He also will perform in the All-State Concert at Symphony Hall in Boston.

Freshman Retention Rate
Regional Universities (South)
As many as one in three first-year students doesn't make it back for sophomore year. The reasons run the gamut from family problems and loneliness to academic struggles and a lack of money. If schools you're considering have a low freshman retention rate, you'll want to ask the admissions office why. Some colleges do a great job of taking care of their freshmen; some don't. The retention rates shown below, from highest to lowest, are the average proportion of freshmen entering starting in fall 2008 through fall 2011 who returned to school the following fall.
These rankings are split into 4 regions: North, South, Midwest and West.

During the 1860s, Canadians feared that the victorious Union armies from the American Civil War might be directed northward. The need for an improved defence organization was an important contributing factor leading to negotiations for Confederation. Sir George Etienne Cartier's first Militia Act for the Dominion of Canada created the Department of Militia and Defence in 1868. It drew heavily upon the Province of Canada's system of universal obligation for military service and volunteer units, which visibly embodied the militia.
The militia, like its predecessors, could be called upon to quell public disturbances when requested by magistrates to act "in aid of the civil power." Candidates for officers' commissions were required to qualify at a military school, initially run by the British Army, and militia officers were subordinate to British Regular officers of the same rank.
On January 1, 1923, the Departments of Militia and Defence, the Naval Service (which had reported to the Minister of Marine and Fisheries), and the Air Board were integrated into the Department of National Defence.

Just click on the buttons
to start saving money
on your energy bills
When you want to know how to conserve energy and save money the pro to ask is the Poudre Valley REA Certified Energy Auditor, Gary Myers, or as we like to call him, Gary the Energy Guy. Unlike the Maytag repairman or Betty Crocker, Gary is a real person. Gary has years of experience in energy efficiency, conservation and the environment. He has designed many programs to help consumers save energy. And they're right here in five easy steps.
1Check out the links to all the money-saving programs & rebates.
Every year PVREA consumers save thousands of dollars on appliances, water heaters, insulation, heating and cooling systems. Find out how you can save money on your energy bills and get a rebate check to help you get started.
2Call Gary for a Home Energy Audit
According to a recent U.S. Department of Energy study, weatherization measures saved an average of 32% on a typical American home's energy bill. And many of the steps you can take to get those savings are inexpensive and easy to do.
But how do you know what to do to get those savings?
That's easy. Call Gary.
Poudre Valley REA has a program that offers energy audits for homes and small businesses. If you are a PVREA member call Gary the Energy Guy at 970-282-6464 and he'll be happy to bring all his high-tech equipment out to your house and give you an assessment of how to make your home more energy efficient and save money.
Three-tiered Home Energy Audit Program
1. Electricity Audit to detect and mitigate electrical power issues -- Free.
2. Blower Door air leakage and weatherization evaluation – $50
PVREA will rebate up to $25 after some qualifying repairs are made.
3 Sign up for the PVREA Green Power Program
The Poudre Valley REA Green Power Program was initiated in 1999 to allow membersthe opportunity to support renewable energy provided from wind, solar and small scale hydroelectric sources. Green power is available in 100 kilowatt-hour (kWh) blocks for only 7.5¢. The average home uses about 1,000 kWh of electricity each month, so for less than $1 per month you can go all green. There is no minimum contract period so you can start and stop your Green Power participation at any time. Purchasing one block of green power each month for one year has the same environmental effect as not driving a car 2,400 miles or planting a half-acre of trees.

Notice To: All Insurers Admitted to Transact Insurance in California
Subject: Holding Company Act Reporting Requirements for Legal Division Filings
The CDI's new Online Assistance System for Insurer Submittals (OASIS) allows for the electronic filing of Holding Company Act applications. Now applications may be submitted online through our Website, and payment may be made with a credit card.
The following Holding Company Act filings may be submitted online through the OASIS System:
* Note:If a company proposes to enter a transaction wherein it would cede or assume 75% or more of its premium or liabilities, Section 2303.15(e) of the California Reinsurance Oversight Regulations requires the company to file an application to obtain the Commissioner's consent under California Insurance Code (CIC) Section 1011(c). (The percentage is calculated before the reinsurance.) Each admitted company participating in a pooling agreement is also required to file a CIC Section 1011(c) application because in a pooling agreement, participants cede 100% of their business to the pool. It is not necessary to also make a Form D filing under CIC Section 1215.5(b)(3) for these transactions, because Regulation Section 2303.15 provides that applications made under CIC Section 1011(c) shall satisfy any filing requirement of CIC Section 1215.5(b)(3). In contrast to a Form D filing, CIC Section 1011(c) filings are not subject to a deemer; they also have a different filing fee. See the instructions for filing CIC Section 1011(c) applications elsewhere on this Website.
The signature page of Forms A and Forms D with original signatures must be submitted to the Corporate Affairs Bureau (CAB) within 10 business days of online submittals to:

Bryce Covert, Contributor
I write about women, economics, politics, and where they all overlap.
You've probably heard about JP Morgan's gigantic $2 billion loss on risky trades by now. The story continues to evolve as executives are starting to step down in the aftermath. Who was the first to go? Was it the London Whale, so called because he made the massive, market-skewing bets that got JP Morgan into this mess? Was it Jamie Dimon, the CEO who may have ignored the warning signs?
Nope. The first head to roll was female. Ina R. Drew, JP Morgan's Chief Investment Officer who was in charge of the division in which the catastrophic trades were made, was the first resignation. She stepped down yesterday.
This means that "one of the top women on Wall Street," as the New York Times called her, will now disappear. She's been replaced by two men. She was also one of the top paid officials at JP Morgan, pulling in about $14 million, in a world where women hold 7.5 percent of the top paying executive jobs. Also going with her is her apparent advocacy for getting more women into the "testosterone-laden" world of investment banking and trading specifically. As the Times reports, "[S]he was a passionate advocate for women within the firm… Ms. Drew encouraged women to go into trading, arguing that working predictable market hours was actually a benefit in terms of balancing career and family."
Dimon himself seems to have somehow finagled his way out of the blame for the disaster. This despite the fact that it's looking like the risks of these bets were conveyed to the top executives at the firm, only to go unheeded.
Perhaps it's not surprising that Drew is the first to leave after being in charge of the unit where all of the trouble struck. But her story is striking in its similarity to some others that came out of the financial crisis. Because there are so few women on Wall Street, those that reach the upper ranks only to fall to earth stand out in stark relief. Women make up less than 20 percent of executive officers in the finance and insurance industries and just 15 percent of executive or senior-level officials in investment banking and securities companies, according to analysis by Catalyst.
There was a lot of talk after the crash that it was driven by men and their testosterone-inflected decisions. One exception, as noted by Dana Goldstein and Ann Friedman, may have been two women who saw their careers nosedive, as they said, "because they were not skeptical enough of the mortgage crisis." But a deeper dive reveals something else. Erin Callan of Lehman Brothers and Zoe Cruz of Morgan Stanley, both high-ranking executives, may very well have served as convenient scapegoats for their male bosses as the markets were crashing.
Zoe Cruz was on the verge of being named the next CEO of Morgan Stanley when she was fired, which would have been a huge first for both that company and the industry. She was one of the highest ranking and highest paid people of either gender in finance. But when the mortgage market went sour, it seems she was made to take the fall for her boss, who, as a friend of his characterized it, was thinking,
"It's you or me. And guess what? I choose you."
Typical feminist b.s. You expect to be treated equally except when it comes to the down side- then you want special consideration. I.E. Drew was not fired because she was the head of the division that lost the money, it was because she was a women. please! It's this constant excuse making by people like this author that CAUSES the dismissive attitudes towards some women. I guarantee women who actually make it to the top like Ms Drew don't expect or want any special consideration. She f…ed up and she took responsibility. Stop talking out of both sides of your mouth and you will get much more respect. Do you want the men who run the world to come save you and make the world nice and fluffy "so even women can get to the top"
The author of this article is clueless. Ms. Drew went in front of the JPM Operating Committe in April when the story was first reported in the WSJ and assured the Committe that everything was under control. It wasn't and the reason for her departure was incompetence, not gender bias.
This seems unfair to all involved, including Ina Drew. Don't you think the more plausible explanation is that she lost her job on merit? (Just as her earlier performance merited her significant compensation.)
Ms. Drew was in charge of the business unit in question. She was the line manager responsible for any poor controls and the subsequent poor containment of the losses. Based on the article you cited, she was also instrumental in convincing Jamie Dimon that the situation was "manageable," which allowed the losses to mushroom.
You could argue that this error and the larger collateral damage should take down the CEO, too. (I don't think so, but it might get there yet.) But under what scenario would that excuse Ms. Drew's performance?

Linux New Media Launches Smart Developer
Lawrence, KS, USA: Linux New Media USA, LLC, announces the launch of Smart Developer , a new print publication for developers and decision makers in the mobile application development industry.
Smart Developer will be published quarterly and will cover development tools and coding techniques for all major smartphone platforms, including Apple iOS, Android, MeeGO, WebOS, and Blackberry. The magazine also includes phone and mobile app reviews, as well as feature stories on important developments in the mobile industry.
"The whole high-tech world is buzzing about the emergence of mobile app stores and the growing cottage industry of custom mobile development," says Smart Developer Editor in Chief Joe Casad, "Other periodical offerings were all targeted to end users, and mostly novice end users. We saw the need for a smart, technical magazine for the experts who are actually writing all these mobile apps, and for other programmers and industry professionals who are interested in joining or watching the app-development field. Smart Developer readers are mobile app programmers, power users, mobile sales and integration specialists, and managers who are looking for insights on bringing their products and services into the mobile arena."
Smart Developer provides a unique opportunity for vendors who build mobile platforms, hardware, and tools to reach a core audience of readers who deploy and use those tools in a real-world setting. According to Smart Developer Associate Publisher Rikki Kite, "This isn't just a niche market. Mobile development is a burgeoning industry that is just getting off the ground, and we're excited that Smart Developer will have a special role in telling the world about it."
In 2007, Linux New Media opened a North American office in Lawrence, Kansas. In addition to the new Smart Developer magazine, the company launched Admin: Network & Security magazine in 2010 and Ubuntu User magazine in 2009. Editors in the rapidly growing North American office also produce the monthly print magazines Linux Pro Magazine , Linux Magazine (international English edition), and special publications including Google Tools, Powerhouse Perl, and The Linux Shell Handbook.

Thank you for inviting me here today. This is an important conversation for our children, for our communities, for Democrats and Republicans. Speaking is difficult, but I need to say something important. Violence is a big problem. Too many children are dying. Too many children. We must do something. It will be hard but the time is now.

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
One of the New York Times Book Review's 10 Best Books of 2012 Set in northwest London, Zadie Smith's brilliant tragicomic novel follows four locals-Leah, Natalie, Felix, and Nathan-as they try to make adult lives outside of Caldwell, the council estate of their childhood. In private houses and public parks, at work and at play, these Londoners inhabit a complicated place, as beautiful as it is brutal, where the thoroughfares hide the back alleys and taking the high road can sometimes lead you to a dead end. Depicting the modern urban zone-familiar to city-dwellers everywhere-NW is a quietly devastating novel of encounters, mercurial and vital, like the city itself.

By Michael Davis
guest columnist
On Dec. 3, The Register-Herald published an article by Mannix Porterfield regarding a letter by U.S. Rep. Phil Roe, R-Tenn., and U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. The letter called for an investigation of the multi-state electronic pseudoephedrine sales tracking system, known as the National Precursor Log Exchange (NPLEx).
As the chief executive officer of Appriss, the company that provides NPLEx to law enforcement officials and the retail community, I take the issues raised in the letter very seriously and would like to take this opportunity to respond directly to specific points raised in the article. Mr. Porterfield's story references a portion of the Wyden/Roe letter that states that Appriss "may be inappropriately limiting, or even blocking, appropriate law enforcement access to NPLEx-collected data." This allegation is false.
NPLEx allows all law enforcement real-time access to all of its data as a matter of policy and practice. Despite repeated requests by Appriss, not one specific example has been brought forward suggesting otherwise or corroborating claims made against the system. Moreover, the assertions leveled stand in stark contrast to dozens of publicly available press reports, testimonials and firsthand accounts from law enforcement and others concerning the system's evidence being instrumental in methamphetamine (meth) seizures and arrests around the country.
The article also mentions "reports" of Appriss taking personal information collected by NPLEx and supplying it to companies "with a financial stake in sales of the drug" for marketing purposes. This too is patently false and without a shred of evidence.
Consistent with federal law, Appriss does not provide personally identifiable information, including personal health information, identification numbers or any other data that identifies or could be used to identify a person through the system for any purpose other than to ensure compliance with federal requirements on sales of pseudoephedrine (PSE)-containing products.
NPLEx data may only be accessed by law enforcement. No pseudoephedrine manufacturers, distributors or other third party organizations have access via NPLEx to any personally identifiable information related to individuals purchasing these medicines.
And in the final portion of Mr. Porterfield's story, state Sen. Dan Foster contends that NPLEx has "clearly been ineffective." According to Dr. Foster, "it's never been known to reduce meth labs anywhere. They've actually gone up."
While Dr. Foster deserves both praise and respect for working hard to address West Virginia's meth problem, his comments reflect a fundamental misunderstanding of how NPLEx works.
Just like a radar gun helps police officers catch more of those violating traffic laws and speeding, NPLEx helps law enforcement officials find more meth labs and arrest more meth criminals. By using NPLEx, state officials will now be able to monitor pseudoephedrine purchases and attempted purchases in real time. To date, nearly half of the United States will have adopted real-time, stop-sale technology. The more states that log on to the system, the stronger and more effective it becomes.
Before NPLEx, this information was only available by accessing hand-written logbooks. Police officers would often drive from store to store and sift through individual logbooks to collect evidence against meth cooks. NPLEx offers a dramatic improvement and empowers law enforcement to address meth-related crime of all kinds.
When used properly, West Virginia law enforcement officials will likely uncover a higher number of meth-related incidents in the first few years after implementation.
In short, NPLEx is a remarkable tool that has helped retailers block hundreds of thousands of illegal pseudoephedrine purchases and aided law enforcement in making scores of arrests and lab seizures. Appriss is committed to making the system as strong as possible, and if legitimate issues come up, we will work night and day to rectify them. At the same time, we will not allow falsehoods about the system to exist without response.
Appriss' mission is "keeping communities safe and informed." With NPLEx, we are carrying out that mission across the country.
— Michael Davis is co-founder and chief executive officer of Appriss Inc.

Intel's 14nm puzzle: As Skylake details leak, everybody asks – is the chip coming in 2015 or not? July 14, 2014 at 2:15 pm
Now, fresh rumors have leaked on Intel's Skylake chipset plans, all still pointing at a 2015 release. Will Intel pull an upset and launch two new processors inside 12 months?
USB will thankfully never be the same: Reversible Type-C cable and port revealed April 2, 2014 at 2:50 pm
Late last year, word broke that the tech industry's most heinous crime — the standard USB plug that isn't actually universal and can only fit into its port one way — would be brought to justice. Now, thanks to a Foxconn render, we have our first look at the new reversible USB connector and port.
The Macintosh is 30 years old today: How Apple changed the desktop computing world January 24, 2014 at 1:21 pm
Inside and out, the Mac has changed drastically over the last thirty years, but one aspect has remained relatively consistent: the all-in-one form factor. From the get-go, the Macintosh brand has largely been associated with the simplicity of an all-in-one device, and that tradition has carried on with the advent of the iMac. In honor of such an important anniversary, let's take a look at some of the most notable all-in-one Macs ever released.
USB Power Delivery spec demoed by Renesas, can provide 100W of power and USB 3.0 over a single cable December 4, 2013 at 4:06 pm
The next generation of USB devices won't just offer seamless connectivity — they'll be capable of driving far more power to devices. USB 3.1 opens the door to monitors that can charge laptops off a single cable — or systems that can do the reverse.
Next-gen USB plugs will be reversible, rectifying the tech industry's most heinous crime December 4, 2013 at 10:12 am
One of the tech world's most archaic aspects is that plugs don't universally connect to ports — even the ones that have the word "universal" right there in the name. Aside from power cords with two prongs of equal size, the most prominent plug that can be reversed and connected is Apple's Lightning connector, a much less widespread connector type than standard USB. Now, with the next generation of USB, everyone's favorite serial bus will be reversible and connect any way you jam it in.
PS4 confirmed to ship with easily replaceable 2.5-inch hard drive October 18, 2013 at 4:26 pm

Now, we have a hands-on confirmation that anyone with the will and a screwdriver can replace the drive inside of Sony's next console. Too bad a 500GB SSD will cost just about as much as the PS4 itself.

How to charge your smartphone and other USB devices as quickly as possible June 26, 2013 at 11:36 am
USB charging is shrouded in mystery — which is a bit ironic, given that almost all of us rely on USB charging of our smartphones and tablets on a daily basis. Why, for example, does an iPhone recharge quickly when you plug it into your MacBook Pro, but slowly when you plug it into your PC, or a non-Apple wall charger? Why does your smartphone charge quickly to start with, but slow down as it fills up? In this story we will answer these questions and more as we investigate the optimum methods of charging your USB devices as quickly as possible. We will also be taking a look at a new device, called the Practical Meter, which finally gives us insight into the arcane world of USB charging.
Is Belkin's Thunderbolt Express Dock enough to compete with the USB juggernaut? April 30, 2013 at 4:04 pm
Thunderbolt has been around for two years now, and it still has yet to gain much momentum. Available devices are still rare and expensive, while most PCs don't even ship with support. Thunderbolt enthusiasts aren't giving up, though. With an upcoming speed increase to the spec and some exciting peripherals launching, it's clear that Intel isn't content with Thunderbolt as a niche interface.
USB 3.0 goes for Thunderbolt's jugular, doubles max speed to 10Gbps January 7, 2013 at 1:05 pm
The USB 3.0 Promoter Group has announced that an upcoming revision to the USB 3.0 spec will bring speeds up closer to Thunderbolt. Unfortunately, we won't be seeing any speed improvements until late 2014 at the earliest. At this point, we might as well be called Thunderbolt "FireWire 10000."
