Student Educational Services
Marquette University and the Raynor Memorial Libraries offer assistance to accommodate library usage for those with special needs. The University's Office of Student Educational Services in the Alumni Memorial Union (Room 317, phone 288-1645 Voice/TDD) should be the first contact point for anyone requiring additional assistance. Staff in that office will direct users to the appropriate librarians for specific library services. Those librarians will establish an approach that will enable special users to utilize the resources of the libraries throughout their stay at Marquette.
Library Services
The best assisted service can be obtained by contacting the appropriate librarian BEFORE coming to the library. An optimal approach to accommodate individual needs can be determined prior to arrival, including preparing any needed equipment and assuring the availability of the necessary staff. While the libraries will attempt to provide assisted services on demand, there are times during the open hours when staffing is at a minimal level and assisted service may be difficult or impossible.
Online Catalog Access
Information on the holdings of the Marquette Libraries is available via the online catalog, MARQCAT, which can be accessed from PCs located throughout the libraries. Most of the PCs are low HEIGHT accessible.
Book Retrieval
Books and periodicals are shelved on open stacks on all floors. Access to these floors is available by public elevator. The 4th floor in Memorial Library has two levels; access to the lower level housing books in the JX 1000 – PQ 6611 collections must be arranged for those in wheelchairs. In addition, many of the aisles in the shelving areas do not accommodate wheelchairs. For any assistance in retrieving needed material, ask at the Raynor 1st floor Circulation Desk.
Reference Assistance and Interlibrary Loans
The Raynor Memorial Information Desk is located on the first level of Raynor. Assistance with both print and electronic sources can be provided; best service is available if arrangements are made PRIOR to coming to the libraries. Reference librarians will also assist in obtaining needed material from other libraries via Interlibrary Loan.
Adaptive Technology
Raynor Library has some adaptive equipment for blind/partially sighted users and students with learning disabilities. A VisualTek reader will enlarge printed material for partially sighted users. A Kurzweil Reading machine will provide synthesized voice output of printed material. a Kurzweil Omni 1000/3000 computer setup that will scan material and then read the material to the user. The Kurzweil also accepts material from computer disks, permitting users to type assignments on a computer, save it to disk, and have the assignment read back to them. Users can adjust the speed of the reader, the voice, and the size of the displayed type. All of this equipment is located on the lower level of Raynor. Ask at the Class Reserve / Media Services Desk for assistance.
Photocopying Service
Photocopiers may present problems for users in wheelchairs. Photocopiers in Raynor Library are located on the lower, 1st and 2nd levels. In Memorial Library photocopers are lcoated near the Bridge Circulation Desk and on the lower level next to the bound periodicals. Assistance in the use of the photocopiers can be arranged at the Raynor Circulation Desk on the first level, the Class Reserve / Media Services Desk on the lower level or the Bridge Circulation Desk in Memorial Library. Staff at the Class Reserve / Media Services Desk will also assist in the use of the microform reader/printers.
The University has designated the restrooms in the basement of Memorial Library and on 2nd floor near the Bridge Circulation Desk as handicap accessible. In Raynor Library all restrooms are handicap accessible.
Emergency Evacuation Procedures
Any user with restricted mobility is urged to register at the Circulation Desk upon entering either library. In the event of an emergency, trained staff from Public Safety will then be able to assist such users from the building in a timely manner. In any emergency, DO NOT USE THE ELEVATORS.

According to Division Chief Dave Bramell, drought conditions gripping the state aren't the only problems the fire department will face this holiday.
"We know that fireworks are going to be a problem, as far as the number of illegal fireworks in use and the sheer number of fireworks discharged during that that week and specifically on the Fourth," Bramell said. "We know that the amount of use will exceed our resources — we won't be able to be on every corner at every home and every court telling people. We're going to do our best and hold those we find accountable."
The high heat, low humidity and high winds that have sounded Red Flag warnings through the state, including in San Joaquin County, have left areas with a high potential for grass fires.
"Every year, the grass cures entirely — it turns 100 percent dry— and will readily ignite," Bramell said. "We have the same concerns every year when it comes to the holiday season and fireworks."
Tracy is in the fourth year of safe and sane firework sales that begin in two weeks, on June 28. In Tracy city limits, residents can discharge only legal fireworks bearing the seal of the California State Fire Marshal. Illegal fireworks are typically anything that explodes, shoots into the air or doesn't bear the California State Fire Marshal seal. (Read 12 safety tips below.)
With the Fourth of July holiday still three weeks away, illegal fireworks can already be heard booming in the evening hours, and Bramell urged caution.
"There is still a risk even when it's not a Red Flag warning. Grass will readily ignite around here. Dry, old shingle roofs will readily ignite if people use illegal aerial fireworks," Bramell said.
Bramell said there were several dry lots within city limits and the fire department had been trying get weeds cleared away in some of the problem areas to lessen the fire danger as the holiday draws near.
"We all know the wind conditions in Tracy. Anything that goes airborne has the potential to be blown onto somebody's roof, blown over their home into a vacant lot or field behind them," Bramell said.
Even though safe and sane fireworks are legal in Tracy, all kinds of fireworks remain illegal in Mountain House and in rural Tracy areas within San Joaquin County, including Banta and New Jerusalem.
Bramell said that on the Fourth of July, the fire department would add another engine company to help deal with the volume of calls and grass fires that usually begin at dusk. The fire department doesn't have citation authority, Bramell said, but will work closely with the Tracy Police Department to confiscate illegal fireworks.
Safe and sane fireworks can be discharged only from noon to 10 p.m. June 28 through July 3 and from noon until midnight on the Fourth of July. Bramell said that using fireworks outside those times is a misdemeanor violation of city code.
All fireworks, including safe and sane types, become illegal to use within city limits on July 5.
If residents see someone using illegal fireworks and feel it is an immediate emergency, Bramell said, they should dial 911. Other complaints about fireworks can be reported using the non-emergency number of the local law enforcement agency: Tracy Police Department, 831-6550, or San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office, 468-4400.
Bramell said the California Health and Safety Code also regulates fireworks and could apply fines and penalties based on the quantity and type of illegal fireworks found.
The fire department isn't trying to infringe on anyone's right to celebrate Independence Day, Bramell said. He did urge residents to be aware of the surroundings and weather conditions when using fireworks.
"We're concerned for the overall safety of the community," Bramell said. "If there is some commonsense approach to the conditions, that will certainly help."
• Contact Glenn Moore at email@example.com or 830-4252.
The Tracy Fire Department has several tips for safely using safe and sane fireworks for the Fourth of July.
• Have an adult present when using fireworks
• Assign a shooter to light fireworks who hasn't consumed alcohol
• Light one firework at a time
• Keep a fire extinguisher or garden hose within 100 feet of the fireworks being discharged
• Use fireworks only outdoors and avoid placing them beneath an overhang
• Maintain a minimum 10-foot clearance from all homes or other buildings
• Place fountains or other spark-emitting fireworks upright on a concrete, asphalt or other hard surface
• Douse spent fireworks in a bucket of water before throwing them away
• Never point or throw fireworks at another person
• Do not place fireworks on any surface above ground level, such as on a ladder or stand
• Never hold lit fireworks
• Do not try to relight malfunctioning fireworks

Two 107-year-old veterans from Texas met for the first time here in Austin Friday. It's believed that Richard Overton and Elmer Hill may be the oldest living vets in the nation.
Richard Overton and Elmer Hill gave each other a warm embraced as they greeted each other on this cold and wet Austin day.
Both men are 107 years old. Organizers with Honor Flight Austin set the table for this long awaited introduction.
"How ya been doing, all right, asked Hill. Overton replied, "Yes."
They served during WWII and fought in the Pacific Theater. Overton was in the Army. Hill was a Navy man working as a cook and gunner on an aircraft carrier.
"I didn't volunteer. They put me in there," Hill said.
Asked later what advice he had for younger generations, Hill said, "Be good to yourself and your master and be a good citizen, wherever you are, whether it's Navy, Army or just as a person at the house."
When considering all the time that has passed by Hill joked, "I'm not that old I've just been here a long time."
When asked about some of his strongest memories, Overton recalled watching soldiers march over a Colorado River bridge into Austin. They came from San Antonio, after training to fight in WWI, and marched by foot because the transport trains had no room for them.
Overton was in his 30s when WWII broke out and he volunteered. He served in the Army's 188th Aviation Engineer Battalion. When asked about his time at war, Overton did not want to provide specific details.
"Some things you went through in that Army you will never forget," he said. "But it's too much to tell. You can't tell it all."
As the two military veterans sat together there was little talk about war, but a small skirmish did pop up regarding age.
"This is the young man that they were talking about," Hill asked. When I told him Overton was a few months older, he gave a broad smiled and laughed.
"He is a 107? …I'd better move mine up a little bit," said a laughing Hill.
They also talked about how strange it is their paths never crossed despite living in towns a few hours apart.
"Glad to meet him, I've heard talk of him but was never in his part of the country, he'd been in mine part of the country but we didn't meet there we didn't know each other," said Overton.
Hill actually at one time briefly lived in Austin. He attended Huston-Tillotson College but now resides in an East Texas retirement home.
"I'm glad to be able to be anywhere," said Hill.
Overton has always been in Austin and worked at the state Capitol in the mail room and at a local furniture store.
This unexpected holiday meeting was made possible because an employee who works for the company that runs this retirement community. She saw a recent trip that Mr. Overton took and it's a trip Mr. Hill is going to take because of an unexpected fund raising project. A Presidential Veterans Day visit for Mr. Overton got things moving. The sale of special Veterans Day pins by employees with the lower Colorado River Authority is paying for Hill's Honor Flight trip to Washington D.C. He's scheduled to be at the white house Monday morning and a possible chance to meet the President.
"Well, all right that will be nice… I didn't know all that was in the plan," said Hill.
That plan that was later sealed with a handshake, and a new friendship that time and even war could not stop.
Organizers with Honor Flight Austin are planning a Monday night home coming at ABIA for Mr. Hill. The group is still trying to raise money for its next trip to Washington with another group of veterans.

Documerica: The Photographs of Flip Schulke
For the Documerica Project (1971-1977), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hired freelance photographers to capture images relating to environmental problems, EPA activities, and everyday life in the 1970s.
Flip Schulke documented everyday life in New Ulm, Minnesota and the Florida Keys during the 1970s. In both locations, Schulke focused on the retired and the lives they lead in these two very different locals. Additionally, while teaching at the University of Missouri's Columbia School of Journalism, Schulke recruited several students to photograph New Ulm to supplement his own photographs.

The NFC East is not going to enjoy the Redskins' Robert Griffin III for the next decade or so. In two games against New York and Philadelphia, Griffin has completed a combined 34 of 43 passes for 458 yards, six touchdowns and one interception. He also has rushed for 173 yards. But it's his ability to keep plays alive that will be most frustrating. Imagine what Griffin could do if and when he has more explosive weapons to go along with his ability to extend plays. The Redskins do have speed at receiver but need a consistent weapon; if Pierre Garcon is ever healthy it could be him. Regardless, Griffin has hurt both teams despite receiving little from the Redskins' best tight end (Fred Davis, hurt early vs. the Giants) and Garcon.
The Redskins were more effective with their pass rushes Sunday in part because they gave some different looks. For example, typically when Ryan Kerrigan lines up at right outside linebacker, he will rush upfield against the tackle. The first time he lined up on the right side Sunday, the Eagles were ready for a wide rush. But Kerrigan stepped upfield, then headed inside. The result? Running back LeSean McCoy, aligned to that side, stepped to the left bracing for a double team vs. Kerrigan. That little delay prevented him from getting to blitzing linebacker Keenan Robinson in time. And Robinson's pressure forced Nick Foles into a hurried throw -- and an interception by Brandon Meriweather. Overall, the Redskins were simply more effective and played good coverage. There were times Foles had time but couldn't find an open target.
3 The Redskins have not proved they belong in the playoff discussion after just one win. Yes, Dallas nearly lost to a two-win Cleveland team Sunday, but two weeks ago the Redskins lost to a one-win team at home. So it's uncertain what direction the Redskins' season will take. And Sunday's victory revealed as much about the Eagles as it did about the Redskins. Philadelphia is a mess, but the Redskins also did what they should do: They handled their business. But until the Redskins win more than one game in a row, at this point of the season you can't talk about postseason possibilities. However, if the Redskins win Thursday and New York loses Sunday, then legitimate playoff talk begins.

11/15/13 Update: Menu updated.
Location: Tangierine Cafe is located in Morocco across from the belly dancer. Note that it isn't "Tangerine" like the fruit, but "Tangierine" like the country Tangier.
Food Type: Moroccan meats and vegetarian items.
Dining Plan: One quick service credit and some items count as snacks.
Unique Items: Everything.
- A lot of bang for your quick service credit with $14 and $15 entrees.
- Some of the highest quality, most unique quick service food at the theme parks.
- "Interesting" without being "weird."
- While more expensive than most other meals, portions are larger.
- Usually plenty of seating, though most tables are outdoors.
- It might just be bad luck, but service has always been indifferent at best.
- Expensive.
- May not appeal to everyone.
Value: Above average. While expensive, the food is very good and portions are large.
Reputation: High. Tangierine Cafe is a favorite of many looking for food that's a little different.
Food Choices:
Chicken and Lamb Shawarma Platter:
Excellent, as usual. It's a nice choice if you're looking to share because of the quantity of food and the fact that you can easily attack it with a couple of forks. Sometimes splitting those Pork Sandwiches isn't pretty. While the price is a couple dollars more than most of the other options, I've always felt that it was worth the extra coin. And on the Disney Dining Plan it's closer to a no-brainer. The meat is shaved off of vertical roasters and then placed delicately on your plastic plate. Topped with a tzatziki (think cucumber) sauce, all of the meats are excellent. The lamb is my favorite, but the chicken offers a bit of variety. The bread is fresh and pairs nicely with the hummus. I could do without the tabbouleh, but it certainly isn't terrible. There's only a couple of bites anyway.
Mediterranean Sliders:
I enjoyed the sliders. The chicken was uncharacteristically dry, to the point where it was difficult to swallow. But everything else was just as it should be. Rather than overpowering the flavors of the meat/felafel, the onions provided a nice crunch. The tahini sauce referenced is (obviously) made with tahini, which is a sesame seed paste. I'm not sure what it would taste like without it, but the sauce didn't seem to add much flavor to the dish. The tabbouleh and lentil salad are also nice cold accompaniments to the sandwiches. If pressed, I would probably order the Chicken and Lamb Shawarma Platter over the Sliders. It seemed to be more food, but this was a nice way to sample the menu's major items too.
Try to time a meal when Mo' Rockin and the Belly Dancer are performing on the promenade.

Walking home tonight from dinner with a friend in the East Village, NY, I was passing south along Pitt Street, one block north of Delancey, when I heard the throaty rumble of a low-flying plane getting louder overhead. I didn't pay it much attention but it was loud enough for me to clock it. Up ahead, I saw three guys emerge from one of the projects on the east side of Pitt St. As I got closer to them, they paused. The plane was passing right above us, heading north along the east river Manhattan shoreline, and I suddenly saw what could only be described as a wide, flat green laser beam start sweeping the street from the plane. It passed over the three guys up ahead, and then me. It was like a giant laser bar-code scanner passing across every contour of the street - for a brief second like suddenly being in a bad light show at a 1990s rave. The three guys ahead of me stopped in their tracks, dumbfounded. I caught up with them and we all looked at each other, then back up to the sky, and then saw this fat triangle of green light beaming down from the plane as it headed north. I talked to them, and none of us could work out what it was, but we had all seen the same thing. I continued walking south towards Grand Street, where I live, and just as I was entering my building I heard the plane come back, this time flying south. I stopped and watched it's green beam cover ground just a little further west of where I'd been walking. As I write this I can still hear the plane making passes overhead - it's engines have quite a distinct sound.
As related by a friend, November 19th, 2012. This appears to be LIDAR scanning of New York in operation. This was first proposed in 2010, and reported by Fast Company and the New York Times. Green LIDAR in particular is used for marine environments - it seems likely that the current scan is in response to recent flooding caused by Hurricane Sandy. The technical term for this process is EEARL, but I haven't yet been able to establish who is doing the scanning.

Investing for Retirement Dividend Income Doesn't Come Without Risk
William is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
When approaching retirement one moves from thinking about asset accumulation to thinking about income generation. The Fed's low interest rate policies leave investors seeking risk free income out in the cold. The national average APY for five year jumbo CDs resides at 0.91% according to bankrate.com. In this case, the risk/reward relationship comes into play: Higher yields will come from assuming more risk. While it's never advisable to put all your eggs in one basket, placing a portion of your retirement nest egg into good solid dividend paying stocks may be worthy of consideration.
Investing in dividend stocks involves more than looking for high yields. The driving forces or fundamentals behind the generation of the dividend need consideration:
1.) Market leadership - Companies in market leadership positions command greater pricing power and brand recognition. People tend to buy products with names they trust and from companies they think will stay around.
2.) Wide moat - The security and stability as well as potential growth of a dividend will flow from a company possessing a wide moat or high barriers to entry such as a distribution network, infrastructure such as with railroads, and highly recognizable brands.
3.) Cash generating capability – Dividends come from a company's cash stash. Growth in the dividend comes from increasing free cash flow or cash flow left over from the purchase of important items like equipment and trademark maintenance.
4.) Low payout ratios – Investors need to look for companies that pay a relatively low amount of free cash flow and cash on the balance sheet. My personal preference lies at less than 50% of dividend to free cash flow and cash on hand; however most large, mature companies pay out more due to more limited opportunities for expansion relative to smaller growth oriented companies.
4 Companies with dividends to consider
Beverage giant Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) currently yields around 2.7% as of this writing. Coca-Cola leads the global beverage industry with a $167 billion market cap and revenues of $12 billion in the last quarter. Coca-Cola grew revenue in its sparkling and healthier, non-sparkling categories 3% and 10% respectively in its most recent quarter; pretty good in an increasingly health conscious marketplace.
Coca-Cola's massive distribution network, trademark and brand recognition serve as barriers to entry for new companies wanting to enter the marketplace providing protection for the dividend.
Coca-Cola's excellent cash situation adds to its appeal as a solid dividend play. Free cash flow grew 32% over the last five years according to YCharts. Its cash, short term investments, and marketable securities stand at a healthy 54% of stockholder's equity in its most recent quarter. Coca-Cola also sports low payout ratios relative to free cash flow and cash on hand at 39% and 13% respectively as of the most recent quarter.
Coca-Cola's shareholders will benefit from its expansion into emerging economies and its broadening diversification in the non-sparkling category.
The world's largest restaurant chain McDonald's ) yields a very appealing 3.4%. McDonald's carries a market cap of $91 billion and $7.1 billion in revenue for its most recent quarter. McDonald's revenue and free cash flow declined 0.2% and 16% respectively in the last quarter due to adverse foreign currency translations and a softening global economy.
Its barrier to entry stems from the impossible to duplicate golden arches trademark. Also, the distribution system supporting its 30,000 stores allows McDonald's to sell high quality food at a reasonably low price.
McDonald's grew its free cash flow 12% over the past five years. The payout ratios of dividend to free cash flow and cash on hand of 67% and 106% respectively reside in the high range for my personal tastes. Limited expansion opportunities due to its large size compel McDonald's to pay more of its cash to the shareholders.
McDonald's will continue to dominate as it continues to grow overseas and retain customers domestically.
Western railroad company, Union Pacific ) dominates the west along with its only major competitor Burlington Northern Santa FE. Union Pacific yields 2.1% as of this writing. Its market cap stands at $61 billion with revenue of $15.6 billion in the last quarter. Union Pacific grew its revenue 5% driven mainly from robust growth in automotive and chemicals transportation in its most recent quarter.
Again, Union Pacific's vast railroad infrastructure and lack of multiple competitors ensures future growth in free cash flow and corresponding dividend growth.
Over the past five years, Union Pacific grew its free cash flow an astounding 166% according YCharts. Its dividend to free cash flow and cash on hand and investments stood at 56% and 36% respectively in its most recent quarter.
Union Pacific will continue to grow its revenue as it flexes its pricing capability and benefits from the need for efficient transportation.
Mega giant retailer Wal-Mart ) commands a formidable presence at your local shopping center. Its dividend yield sits at 2.3%. Wal-Mart sports the highest market cap on the list at $129 billion. In the last quarter Wal-Mart's revenue clocked in at $114 billion.
Its vast distribution system allows Wal-Mart to sell products cheaper than competitors while at the same time growing profitability.
Wal-Mart grew its free cash flow an amazing 124% over the past five years according to YCharts. Like McDonalds, Wal-Mart's relatively small room for expansion compels it to pay more of its cash to shareholders. The ratio of dividend to free cash flow and cash on the balance sheet stands at 64% and 54% respectively.
Wal-Mart plans on expanding into markets occupied by the likes of Dollar General and Family Dollar by opening smaller versions of itself complete with groceries and pharmacies. It will be interesting to see how that will play out.
On the whole, investing in these companies provides a higher yield than your standard savings account; however, it comes with a relatively higher risk. The inherent structural advantages noted above will ensure safety and future growth of income from those businesses. Given the rock bottom risk-free savings rates prevalent over the past five years even income oriented investors need to assume some risk.

Most Utahns disapprove of Sen. Mike Lee, want him to compromise
By Robert Gehrke
The Salt Lake TribuneFirst published Oct 09 2013 07:32PM
More than half of Utah voters now disapprove of the performance of Utah Sen. Mike Lee, with support for the junior senator dropping significantly in recent months, a new poll shows.
The survey also finds that 57 percent of Utahns want Lee, whose crusade against funding Obamacare helped bring about a budget impasse and the shutdown of the federal government, to be more conciliatory and compromise on a budget, even if it means funding President Barack Obama's signature health care law.
"I think it is pressure" to make a deal, said Quin Monson, director of the Center For the Study of Elections and Democracy at Brigham Young University, which conducted the poll.
Lee, however, was steadfast in his position.
"The only numbers I'm concerned with are the percentage of Utahns who are feeling the negative effects of Obamacare through lost jobs, wages, hours and health care," the senator said in a statement.
The poll found 57 percent of all voters want to see Lee be more willing to compromise in the ongoing budget standoff.
Lee has strong support — 90 percent — from those who identify themselves as active in the tea party, but among independents, moderate Republicans and Democrats, there is widespread opposition to Lee's position, with nearly three-fourths wanting to see the senator more willing to compromise.
Monson said that desire for compromise has also been reflected in Lee's approval rating.
In June, Lee's favorability rating stood at 50 percent. In the latest poll, which wrapped up over the weekend, just 40 percent of voters had a favorable impression of Lee. His unfavorable rating was 51 percent in the most recent poll.
Even among Republicans, Lee's favorability dropped from 71 percent to 57 percent.
By contrast, Gov. Gary Herbert enjoyed a 71 percent favorability rating among all voters surveyed and 58 percent had a favorable impression of U.S. Rep. Jim Matheson. Lee's Senate colleague, Orrin Hatch, also was fairly unpopular, with just 44 percent having a favorable impression of the recently elected senior senator.
Monson said the numbers show Lee is in some jeopardy should he, as anticipated, seek re-election in 2016.
"I think it'd be very difficult to predict the outcome of a Republican primary if he was faced with a capable and visible moderate-to-conservative Republican," Monson said. And a Democrat, like Matheson, who can win Republican votes in a general election could also pose a serious threat.
"If there's someone who should really make Senator Lee nervous it's Representative Matheson."
Former Utah Republican Party Chairman Thomas Wright has said he is considering a possible run against Lee.
Complicating the calculus, Monson said, is the Count My Vote initiative effort, which seeks to replace the state's system of nominating candidates with direct primaries.
The current system, where delegates chosen at neighborhood meetings play a key role in nominating candidates, serves Lee well because it favors conservative Republicans. In a direct primary, Lee could have his hands full.
The poll of 938 voters was conducted online between Oct. 2 and Oct. 7.
It has a margin of error of 3.2 percent.

Word yesterday that the Wisconsin Supreme Court will decide the constitutionality of Act 10 is good news indeed. And the Court's decision to take the case is long overdue. But our nightmare isn't over yet. As Kittle points out here, The State Supremes won't take up the issue this session, which means the arguments don't come till fall and a ruling sometime after that. I wouldn't be shocked if it's 2014 before we know their decision.
Here's another piece of good news. The next justice up for election is liberal Ann Walsh Bradley in 2015. What that means is if the conservative majority upholds Act 10 on a 4-3 vote, no conservative justice faces re-election until Justice Annette Ziegler in 2017. While libs will never get over this defeat, if it ends up being a defeat for them, passions will have cooled considerably by then. At least on this issue.

Employment ScamA number of unsolicited fraudulent emails have circulated purporting to offer employment at one of our hotels. These emails target job-seekers who have posted their biographical information on internet websites and often contain misspelled words and unusual return addresses.
The emails include official-looking documents as attachments and purport to offer employment without the need for in-depth interviews.

These are not genuine offers from our organization. Please do not provide sensitive personal information or submit payment to third parties in response to such offers.

Futures surge on Fed decision
The Federal Reserve surprised markets by keeping its stimulus measures intact.
The U.S. Federal Reserve announced at the end of its two-day meeting Wednesday it will continue with its $85 billion per month stimulus plan until economic data paint a more stable picture of the U.S. economy.
The news sent markets soaring; Treasury bonds had their largest price rally in a single day since November 2011, with 10-year yields closing at 2.706%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) closed at an all time high, up 0.9%, and the S&P 500 ($INX) was up 20.76 points, a new record.
Top news
In other news around the markets:
With one year left for the European banking rescue program, eurozone banks are beginning to push for a new plan that will continue to ease the pain of the region's financial crisis. The European Central Bank has lent about 1 trillion euros into the region's banks, but as the maturity of those loans approaches many worry that banks in struggling countries like Italy and Spain will fail if left to stand on their own. Now, banks are lobbying for another round of ECB loans in 2014, before the original loans mature in 2015.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has proposed a new rule that would require companies to disclose the gap between employee salaries and chief executives' pay. Republican lawmakers and some regulators have criticized the rule, saying that those details don't provide information about a company's financial health and simply shame chief executives.
Bank of Japan member Takahide Kiuchi stated Thursday the country was not in need of further stimulus at the moment. He said that the planned sales tax hike is not expected to have a huge impact on the Japanese economy in the long term, and that the bank will consider further easing only if the economy is affected by a severe shock.
Sharp Corp announced on Wednesday that it was planning to raise up to $1.67 billion through a share issuance and investments from its business partners. Over the past year, Sharp has dealt with shaky finances, and the new funds are expected to help ease some of the pressure on its balance sheet. The additional cash has been earmarked for investment in new facilities in Asia, liquid-crystal displays for smartphones and research and development for growth segments like robotics and health care.

So there's more work to be done to understand what circumstances would create a commercially viable scenario for V2G.
In the near term it's really about the environmental and efficiency benefits of EVs. They're a much more efficient means of propulsion, and you're able to use off-peak charging, which improves overall system utilization and efficiency. Plus it marries well with some of the most ubiquitous renewable resources, wind power.
Fortnightly: I know the smart grid is still evolving, and the first generation of EVs won't have all the features that are on the drawing board. For SCE's planning purposes, how far out do you see those things coming together?
Craver, SCE: They're kind of hitting the deck at the same time. Software that's being installed in smart meters right now could interface with home-area networks and ultimately with EVs. The vehicles have a fair amount of electronics on board for interfacing with chargers, so I'd say they're mutually reinforcing each other.– SA

"The card looks very presentable- gold color brings sophistication and thick paper adds to the pleasure of holding the card in your hands."
"Exactly what we were looking for in an invitation. Just as nice as anything we would have done in person at an invitation store custom made. Quality of product was excellent and surpassed our expectations. Came exactly on time and appreciated the service from the team of designers at Tiny Prints. They offered colour suggestions for the font to be adjusted and gave me the options to review colour digital versions free of charge. We are over the moon about what arrived and will definitely be our go to place for future events. The cost was also so reasonable for all the items we purchased. Could not have been any easier and received a beautiful invitation we are proud to use for our event."
"I was looking for something that would look classy, yet wasn't going to be a large expense...after all, most people will end up thowing way an invitation! These definitely fit the need - the pearlized paper looks higher-end, and the fact that you can also print on the reverse made eco-friendly sense!"
"The paper quality is great and the gray print very boyish for the bar mitzvah. Most are blue and we just wanted something different. Gray and yellow are great together and the white boarder set it off. I just love the scribble scrolls-- so cute! Got lots of compliments so far and that's just the first few recipients."
"I was surprised by how easy it was to work with TinyPrints and how accessible they were by phone when I had questions. Sometimes, it takes a person-to-person conversation to work out the details because emails and proofs do not always get communication down perfectly. Everyone at TinyPrints was wonderful and I look forward to using their services again!"

Can't believe I'm the first to review this! So much more than your ordinary miso soup - it was just bursting with freshness from the watercress, carrot, and radish. The dill was a subtle but really nice touch, and the seaweed-infused broth gave it just the right hint of fishy flavor. Served it with quinoa and baked tofu - definitely company worthy.
Miso Soup with Spring Greens
Dashi - a broth made from kombu seaweed and water - is the base for this traditional Japanese soup. Miso offers a meaty flavor. Substitute arugula or spinach for the watercress if you wish.

When most boys their age, 11 and 12, are listening to hip hop, pop and, dare I say, Justin Bieber, these boys from Brooklyn are jamming to music that may make most parents cringe. Not theirs.
The boys are from East Flatbush. They've grown up together. They balance their music with school. Good grades a must.
Unlocking the Truth have already become known on the metal circuit, playing festivals, and clubs like the Bitter End in Manhattan and even Times Square. And like all great bands, they're fueled by the fans.
So while these little rockers have already played venues most bands dream of, they have their wish list of other places -- cities and countries -- they want to play and conquer. They say they want to become big like Metallica.
Speaking of Metallica, I just happen to remember a little bit of the Metallica song "Master of Puppets," so I joined them on a jam.
While the future of Unlocking the Truth may be unwritten, the metal hard truth is the band has a long, promising career ahead.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The owner of a recently privatized Ohio prison says new technology has helped thwart incidents of smuggling at the facility. The company rebuffs criticism that a recent rise in crime has jeopardized safety.
Nashville, Tenn.-based Corrections Corporation of America was responding to Friday calls for state help at the Lake Erie Correctional Institution in Conneaut (KAW'-nee-awt) by the American Civil Liberties Union and local officials. They say increased criminal activity near the facility is taxing local resources and worrying city residents.
A CCA spokesman called the ACLU "close-minded" and said the group is unfairly criticizing the company.
State and local officials met Friday to discuss what to do. The State Highway Patrol says it doesn't have jurisdiction to respond to incidents on non-prison property without being asked by local police.

Free Enterprise Nation Celebrates First Birthday With Record Membership, Bestseller Book
August 26, 2010 by Special To Personal Liberty
The Free Enterprise Nation (FEN) has said wasteful public spending and ballooning budget deficits have contributed to a substantial growth in its membership, which it says is indicative of a tide of outrage sweeping the nation.
FEN was launched just last year as a non-partisan organization representing employees and businesses in the private sector, and it works to spread awareness on the disparities in pay, benefits and pensions between the public and private sectors.
Not only has its own membership reached thousands of corporate and individual members in this short period of time, but the organization points to millions more people joining Tea Party movements and other grassroots initiatives that oppose excessive and unsustainable spending, including lavish government salaries.
To mark its first anniversary, FEN has announced that a book by its founder and CEO James MacDougald, entitled Unsustainable: How Big Government, Taxes and Debt are Wrecking America, has reached a bestseller status, climbing to number 11 on Amazon's Hot New Releases.
"Regardless of political affiliation, everyone must be aware of the cresting economic crisis looming over our nation," said MacDougald. "We can and must preserve American businesses and the people they employ. We have to rein in spending and unleash free enterprise."

Amy Winehouse just came out of hiding this week after spending months in the idyllic St. Lucia where she had good food, good wine and plenty of boys. She's back in London now, and after just one day being back in her homeland she has already decided to work off the holiday pounds she put on while staying in the tropics. She decided to call upon her com-patriot and former Spice Girl member Mel-B. Amy bought Scary Spice's new Totally Fit Workout DVD in hopes of getting back into shape after months of lounging on the beach in St. Lucia and indulging in the good life.
In addition, sources say that Amy plans to clad her London home with a recording studio and a sauna room in order to practice Bikram Yoga, a form of yoga that she practiced while staying in St. Lucia.
All in all, Amy definitely has her quirks, but we've all got to admit, she's awesome, and we love her music!Amy Winehouse, Celebrity Workouts, Spice Girls

Perhaps no other of his novels better reveals Giono's perfect balance between lyricism and narrative, description and characterization, the epic and the particular, than "The Horseman on the Roof." This novel, which Giono began writing in 1934 and which was published in 1951, expanded and solidified his reputation as one of Europe's most important writers. This is a novel of adventure, a "roman courtois," that tells the story of Angelo, a nobleman who has been forced to leave Italy because of a duel, and is returning to his homeland by way of Provence. But that region is in the grip of a cholera epidemic, travelers are being imprisoned behind barricades, and exposure to the disease is almost certain. Angelo's escapades, adventures, and heroic self-sacrifice in this hot, hallucinatory landscape, among corpses, criminals and rioting townspeople, share this epic tale

Twins-Bronx Bombers: Punto returns
The Twins activated Nick Punto from the disabled list and designated Howie Clark for assignment.
Punto was immediately inserted as the starting shortstop tonight – but I wouldn't be surprised if Twins manager Ron Gardenhire sticks with him there for awhile.
Gardy values defense up the middle over offense, and Brendan Harris missed two plays in the field during Friday's loss to the Yanks. I'm getting wind that Punto and Alexi Casilla will remain up the middle while Brendan Harris splits time at third with Mike Lamb.
All Gardy would say on the record before the game that he's, "open to anything," when asked if Harris is going to get playing time at third.
Boof Bonser is on the hill here. Scott Baker is on the hill at Fort Myers. Check in on the game here. Needless to say, this is a massive start for Boof.

Mr Hand Played Saloon Saturday Night Again
Posted by Ryan Chase on 09/07 at 09:05 AM
As students new and old settled into their apartment (or dormitory) that will be their home away from home for the next eight months or so, the dawn of new classes, new over-priced books, new roommates and new experiences impatiently awaited them. At least one thing could be counted to stay – Mr. Hand, Saturday nights at the Saloon.
Mr. Hand, presumably inspired by the crotchety, old teacher from Fast Times at Ridgemont High (a State College favorite) draws its stature and reputation from fast-paced, high-energy performances, largely consisting of covers. There is nothing wrong with that. Yet while cover bands - especially good cover bands - are always fun, State College is smothered with them. How many decent, original bands does State College possess? Very, verrrry few. No secret there, of course. State College, rather State College bars are routinely lampooned for hiring cheap, reliable cover bands as opposed to taking a shot at an original one. It's understandable. If the original band does not appeal to the general audience visiting a bar, this could adversely affect business. A cover band, though, plays a variety of things, making it more accessible and appealing to patrons.
However, understanding does not quell the nausea and night terrors the incessant repetition of Sublime and Oasis songs provoke. Mr. Hand is a decent, vivacious (would someone call a band vivacious?) cover band, but even the good ones eventually lose their appeal. No one is going to want their poster to hang on their bedroom wall because they almost, if you really listen close enough, sound exactly like Nirvana or Green Day.
I enjoyed myself Saturday night. It was sufficient, with the energy and inspired performances put forth by everyone involved. Even Glenn Beck and his tainted world view could not contaminate it. They played loud and they played hard from beginning to end. No lull, no slow starts or sloppy endings – good, catchy music from a good cover band.
But I heard it all before.
Old is good, familiar, and comforting. After a while, even if it occurs slowly - even as slowly as a glacier - the good, the familiar, the comforting labels splinter and break apart like a rocking chair overcome by the great pressure of an over-sized man. Ideally, it would be wonderful to keep them around (in some cases maybe we can) at least for a little longer, but it's the new things, the new people, the new places, the new MUSIC that makes life exciting; that awaken those nerves in the middle of your stomach.
A week ago, I wanted my previous apartment back, the one I had lived in for two years. It's the one where my friends lived nearby and stopped by incessantly; the one I nearly set on fire when I microwaved popcorn for too long. I did not want a stuffy, cramped loft or two roommates I did not know. I was nervous. Now I'm excited. I'm moved in, I bought my books (reluctantly), I know where my classes are and have been to all of them. And through two people I did not know and a place I had not - until two months ago - known existed, I have encountered things, people, places, and music I had not imagined previously.
This is the promise each new school year brings, with new classes, with new roommates, with graduation gaining more ground on you by the day. State College should do the same. I love Mr. Hand. I love Mia Mafia. I love all these cover bands that populate State College bars every Thursday through Saturday night, but…
…I want to hear something new.
