FACING THE CUTS: Reaction to county council budget decisions
6:30am Saturday 7th December 2013 in News
OXFORDSHIRE County Council, which this year had a total budget of £586m, has revealed it will be axing more than £64m over the next four years.
Here we outline the main areas under discussion:
DESPITE the fact it is not the largest cut in the department, the proposed withdrawal of £362,000 in funding for the county music service has caused concerns.
The county council has outlined plans to have the service run by a trust, but has not explained how it will work and what elements of the service will be retained.
For music teacher Penny Dwyer, who commissions teaching at Windmill Primary School in Headington, Oxford, the future is uncertain.
She said: "What I would worry about is that we might lose any of the support we currently get from the county music service.
"They organise such brilliant events. The other day we took part in a concert at the Sheldonian Theatre celebrating the centenary of Benjamin Britten, and we also took part in an event called the Big Christmas Sing.
"Both of them were organised by the county music service, and I would be very very concerned if these sorts of events did not go ahead in the future."
Other savings in this area include £200,000 from the attendance service, which will be reorganised, and £75,000 from the school improvement service, which currently funds one-off school projects.
WHILE most of the savings in the department will be made through staff changes and more efficient working, some organisations will also see their funding slashed.
Oxford Inspires, which promotes the city and county as a tourist destination, received £130,000 from the council in 2012/13. This year that funding was cut to £80,000, and the organisation was expecting to receive £55,000 next year. But director Giles Ingram said he had heard this would be cut further – and a saving of £25,000 is outlined in the budget.
Mr Ingram said: "It will obviously have an impact on the work we do. I am keen that our work is recognised for its contribution to economic growth and job creation and is not just seen as cultural services."
The chief executive's office will save £237,000 by "deleting" vacant posts and another £158,000 will be saved from similar work in the corporate support teams. Savings of £2.2m will be made through outsourcing of some services, and £100,000 from closer working with Hampshire on human resources and financial management. Another £400,000 will be saved through the use of smartphones and other changes with the council's telephone system.
A WINDFALL of £10m from central Government will go some way towards mitigating cuts in adult social care.
But concerns have been raised about cuts of £7.1m which will be made.
Pensioner Dot Holloway, 65, from Minster Lovell, said: "They seem intent on making cuts but they seem to cut the wrong things. They should cut money spent on managers rather than care. They seem to cut all the care.
"There are an awful lot of elderly people who can't manage themselves. I remember my mother (Eleanor Anns, who died in 1989) used the Stirlings care home in Wantage and that was virtually her only link to the social world. She got her hair done and a meal made and she really enjoyed herself. Social activities are vital for the elderly, especially those who live on their own.
"You can't just sit them in a chair, they need stimulation and something to do."
EXTRA funding of £2.5m for pothole repairs will be a small mercy for the county's motorists.
Private hire driver Richard Barlow, from Kidlington, said: "They should do the potholes. My car was damaged last year and I had to take three days off work because the wheel bearings went. That probably cost me about £300. But they should have sorted the potholes out in the summer, as the problem is only going to get worse during the winter."
A review of subsidised and free transport services will lead to a £3.2m cut. There will be £1.3m of cuts to general maintenance including a decrease in verge and tree cutting, sign cleaning and line repainting.
A SHAKE-UP of fire service cover in the north of the county will mean changes in Bicester and Banbury.
Under proposals unveiled in the budget, Bicester fire station will be crewed during the day instead of being covered only by on-call staff, costing £1.2m.
But in Banbury, the fire station will go from being staffed 24 hours a day to a day crewed model, saving £360,000.
Banbury MP Sir Tony Baldry said: "I have every confidence that any change made to the fire services is only going to be made if the chief fire officer deems them to be safe."
A £2.5m saving from the £26.7m budget in public health will be achieved "by working more efficiently".
Jacquie Pearce-Gervis, chairwoman of Oxfordshire-based watchdog Patient Voice, said: "All cuts are painful. We need more details about where the cuts will be made in public health. It's not clear and they need to give more details about what they are going to do."
When asked where money could be cut instead, she said: "No cuts are good news but I have spoken against the enormous bonuses given to NHS bosses."

Fixes looks at solutions to social problems and why they work.
KHULNA, Bangladesh — In May 2009, Cyclone Aila swept over the southwestern coast of this country and lashed the small village where Rashida Gazi and her husband Rezaul live. The middle-aged couple, who eked out a living from farming and raising livestock in Koyra, knew the cyclone was approaching.
But in spite of ample warning, they did not immediately flee to a concrete cyclone shelter, though one was only about a mile away. Only at the last minute did they leave their mud and thatch hut for the safety of a neighbor's concrete house. That decision likely saved their lives: their home, chickens, tools and few belongings were washed away in the storm, though they managed to save their goat. The Gazis are just two of about 3 million people affected by Aila when it destroyed homes and crops and flooded farmland.
Risk assessment studies conducted after Cyclone Aila were telling. They found that rural people like the Gazis who didn't evacuate immediately thought cyclone shelters were too far away, too crowded or poorly maintained. Women were particularly vulnerable. They are often the last to leave home because they are in charge of the house and livestock — often a villager's most precious asset.
Preparing for natural disasters is essential in low-lying Bangladesh. Read more…

Pacifico was an ascetic man. He fasted perpetually, eating no more than bread, soup or water. His "hair shirt" was made of iron. Poverty and obedience were two virtues for which his confreres especially remembered him.
At the age of 35, Pacifico contracted an illness that eventually left him deaf, blind and crippled. He offered his sufferings for the conversion of sinners, and he cured many of the sick who came to him. Pacifico also served as the superior of the friary in San Severino. He was canonized in 1839.
Francis urged his brothers to proclaim the Word of God without fanfare or self-interest. In that way, their words were truly God's and directed toward the welfare of their listeners. The way Pacifico lived made his preaching all the more effective, for his listeners knew the power present in his words.
Richard Rohr explores how to find God in the depths of silence.
Whether you are new to cooking, highly experienced, or just enjoy good food, Table of Plenty invites you into experiencing meals as a sacred time.
Why did the pope choose the name Francis? Find out in this new book by Gina Loehr.
By focusing on God's love for humanity expressed in the gift of Jesus, The Last Words of Jesus serves as a rich source of meditation throughout the year.

Accreditation Preparation & Quality Improvement
In the Spotlight
NACCHO's Organizational Culture of Quality Self-Assessment Tool (SAT) enables beginner, intermediate, and advanced local health departments (LHDs) to conduct a baseline assessment of organizational maturity within critical aspects of a culture of quality, revealing opportunities for improvement, and informing a trajectory for next steps to reaching a culture of quality. The tool is intentionally designed to complement NACCHO's Roadmap to a Culture of Quality which provides high level guidance on progressing through six phases of QI maturity by incrementally building six foundational elements of a quality culture.
Accreditation Preparation
PHAB administers the voluntary national accreditation program for state, local, territorial, and tribal health departments.
NACCHO provides tools, resources, and training opportunities to local health departments (LHDs) to assist in their preparation for accreditation.
The Accreditation Preparation page includes resources organized by stages of the preparation process.
The Accreditation Preparation: CHA and CHIP Prerequisites page features information about community health assessment and community health improvement planning.
The Accreditation Support Initiative page shares information about LHDs across country preparing for accreditation.
Quality Improvement
PHAB's accreditation program is grounded in quality improvement (QI). NACCHO offers resources for health departments as they work to build cultures of continuous QI and prepare for national public health department accreditation. Whether your agency has just begun to incorporate QI principles, or the QI activities are more formal, NACCHO has tools to help.
National Public Health Improvement Initiative
Local and State Health Departments funded under the Affordable Care Act, National Public Health Improvement and Capacity Building Initiatives will receive direct Capacity Building Assistance (CBA) and support in the form of TA, training, tools, resources, and support that will enhance health department capacity to improve internal practices, increase efficiencies and develop and support new infrastructure and systems to increase their effectiveness and efficiency, subsequently enhancing the public health infrastructure and improving health.

Best Fast Mexican Food Around – One of my favorite restaurants. You walk up to the counter and order and are allowed to customize your meal, similar to subway. There are four sauces out front ranging from sweet to spicy. There are two sauces behind the counter, tonsillectomy and lava which are much hotter than those on the counter.
I suggest the perfect meal (Burrito, Taco, Cookie and a Drink for around $7 after tax). Try the ground beef. It is a chili-beef mixture that is amazing.
Grrreat – Passed by Roscoe's for years without stopping, my loss. I finally stopped & tried the Tacos even though the menu is vast for a Mexican Fast Food Place. 2nd time I stopped I was going to try something different but couldn't pass up the Taco's. Maybe the 3rd time will be another eating experience. All the local (Original) (so to speak) Mexican Resturants can't come close for the quantity and quality you find at Roscoe's.
No Better Fast Mexican Food Anywhere – This place is great, the original location opened in our neghborhood over 10 years ago, interior is funky and noisy which appeals to the teen set but you will see buisness people and staff members from the locally based missionary society eating lunch there. If you don't like the level of noise you can eat outside--or just carry out. Its very congenial and down home.
But about the food--this is fast food but priced far better than the mexican fast food chain and you get huge portions that contain "homemade" food and items are assembled right before you eyes.
One of their samplers is Son of Sampler (SOS) including a Butch Cassidy Taco, Babe's Chicken Taco, Lil' Beef Taco, Small cup of Beans & cheese or Black Beans & Rice for $3.99. Add a Cowboy Cookie for dessert. You can choose your salsa by name: Mild, Texas Brushfire, Too Darn Hot, Smokin', Tonsillectomy, Lava. Everything is topped with sour cream, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, black olives and onions.
Editorial Review by Christy Buena – Neighborhood style taco stand serves tacos, chili burritos and offers inexpensive meals for less than $10.
The best fast mexican food – Roscoes has the best tacos,burritos and beans n cheeese. The size of portions blows everyonr else away including higher priced restaurants. However sometimes they crank the music a little too loud, especially if your at the front of the restaurant. BUT THE IS THE BEST AND THE VALUE IS SECOND TO NONE!!!

Oakland Police Brutality Tab Reaches $2.9M

In July I received a call from Don Casper, the former chairman of the San Francisco County GOP, vice president of the Civil Service Commission, and prominent local barrister.
Good news, he said: Gov. Jerry Brown had rehired him as a state official overseeing government office buildings. Casper had been fired by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger 18 months earlier from the same obscure post for refusing to approve the selloffs of the S.F. headquarters of the California Supreme Court and the state's Public Utilities Commission.
"The state office buildings are back in safe hands," Casper told me.
In some ways, Casper played the part of the grandee. He dressed in the immaculate style of a white-shoe lawyer. He chose his words painstakingly. And during his 21 years on the Civil Service Commission, he amassed so much institutional knowledge that meetings often consisted mostly of other panelists asking his advice.
But Casper wasn't being pompous when he said California's buildings would be safer under his care. He was simply stating a fact.
Casper was the rare political player who understood that some policy questions weren't just fodder for Democrat-Republican one-upmanship. Rather, he believed there are questions of fact whose answers should set the basis for policy.
He was killed on Aug. 14 by a hit-and-run driver.
During the last year and a half of his life, Casper weighed the evidence surrounding a proposed fire-sale privatization of billions of dollars' worth of state property. The conclusions he drew earned him an extraordinary epitaph: He died a state official who'd saved California billions.
Newspaper eulogies described Casper as a man of great principle. But it took the city a while to come around to what seemed to some mere eccentricity.
During Casper's decades as a prominent local political player, his tendency to analyze issues as problems to be studied — rather than favors to be traded — led to him being branded as an odd bird, even a reprehensible turncoat. In 2000, as the chairman of the San Francisco County Republican Party, he persuaded the central committee to endorse Willie Brown — California's Mr. Democrat — in Brown's race against the more liberal-seeming Tom Ammiano. Casper argued that in a Democrat-controlled town, you play the hand you're dealt. The state GOP considered censuring the SF County party for endorsing a Democrat. Those flames didn't cool quickly: Casper was later pushed out of his chairmanship. Brown appointed him to the Civil Service Commission. And Casper settled into a public role as the don of that body, gaining citywide respect for his studious approach to helping resolve the city's labor-management conflicts. Imagine: a Republican who contributes to labor peace.
In a country threatened by madly ideological Tea Partiers willing to steer government off a cliff, Casper's sober brand of analytical politics will be missed.
If it is possible to judge people by the company they keep, Casper's close friendship with David Novogrodsky, the longtime leader of Professional and Technical Engineers Local 21, would be illuminating.
Why, pray tell, would a prominent local Republican turn to a union leader, of all people, for advice, friendship, and conversation? Could it be that Casper's curiosity was most piqued by perspectives he hadn't heard?
"He would call me once in a while when he was thinking about something, or I would give him a call when something came to me," says Novogrodsky. "The fact that the Republicans took a different position than he did on something didn't bother him. That was the same sort of attitude I had: If the Democrats thought something, it wasn't as if I was going to take the same position because being a Democrat was really something. I felt he was one of the few people I was really able to communicate with."
This was the kind of nonabsolutist spirit that seemed to guide Casper as he routinely telephoned me over the years with ideas for stories. Once he alerted me to a Civil Service Commission agenda item involving an African-American firefighter who accused the city of letting white officers cheat on advancement tests. Casper wasn't certain whether the complaint had merit, but he believed it was a matter of such public importance that it deserved more attention. In the end, a city inquiry cleared the senior officers, a decision with which the San Francisco Black Firefighters Association was dissatisfied. But, as always, I was impressed with Casper's judicious weighing of the facts.
I got another such call in February 2010. Casper announced he'd run across a matter concerning an obscure California state commission. It was complicated, involving difficult-to-discern points of fact, powerful politicos, and a Don Casper point of view that went against the Republican grain. In other words, Casper was in his element.
Since 1993, Casper had been a board member of an agency only a handful of people had heard of: the San Francisco State Building Authority, which oversees the financing of government buildings. It met briefly in a basement room once a year, rubber-stamping routine bond-service payments.
But that February, Casper had gotten wind that something big was happening: Gov. Schwarzenegger was quietly arranging to sell many of California's most valuable public buildings to create the illusion of balancing the budget in an election year.

In the sophomore honor class at SI our first English assignment was to write a Shakesperean sonnet (abab etc.), Don wrote his in Latin!!! He was the only kid I knew who had an office--at Sts Peter & Paul where he was "Chief Archivist," and lead proponent of sainthood Father Trinquieri. He read Canon Law! Don's hyper-politeness and near-fuddyduddyhood could put anyone at ease. He had a terrific sense of humor about himself. RIP.

"Casper was a committed Catholic", this may upset some liberal progressives, but being raised Catholic was not all bad. (a lifelong democrat) Catholic priest and nuns taught us much more then just reading and writing. They taught us to stand up for the little guy, to play fair because cheating meant you didn't win (Schwarzenegger cheated in more ways then one),and not to judge people by the color of their skin. My Catholic friends agree that many of the 60's Peace & Freedom protesters were raised in hard working middle class Catholic homes and did it for purely altruistic reasons.Something Mr. Casper's more conservative friends may find difficult to understand.

How should we explain the origins of novel behaviors?
Edward A. Wasserman, Mark S. Blumberg
The basic argument of intelligent design was famously set forth in the watchmaker analogy of William Paley in 1802: The complexity and functionality of a watch imply a watchmaker; analogously, the complexity and functionality of living things also imply a designer, albeit one vastly more potent than a mere watchmaker. This argument rests on a simple analogy between the design of human artifacts and the design of natural forms. For the analogy to work, we must first accept that we design our inventions with purpose and foresight. On this point, most evolutionists and creationists agree. What distinguishes these two camps is that, when accounting for the origin of living things, proponents of intelligent design summon a divine creator, whereas evolutionists credit natural selection. Thus, evolutionists share with creationists the same understanding of design; they differ only in how they invoke it.
Discussions of design are prominent in the writings of evolutionists from Darwin to Dawkins. Pondering the implications of his theory of natural selection for Paley's "old argument of design in nature," Charles Darwin wrote in his autobiography that we can no longer argue that "the beautiful hinge of a bivalve shell must have been made by an intelligent being, like the hinge of a door by man. There seems to be no more design in the variability of organic beings and in the action of natural selection, than in the course which the wind blows. Everything in nature is the result of fixed laws." A century later, Richard Dawkins pursued the issue of design and divided the world "into things that look designed (such as birds and airliners) and things that don't (rocks and mountains)." He further divided those things that look designed into "those that really are designed (submarines and tin openers) and those that aren't (sharks and hedgehogs)."
What did Dawkins mean when he wrote of things that "really are designed"? In The Blind Watchmaker, he provided a clear answer: "All appearances to the contrary, the only watchmaker in nature is the blind forces of physics….A true watchmaker has foresight: He designs his cogs and springs, and plans their interconnections, with a future purpose in his mind's eye" [emphasis added].
Such uncritical acceptance of purpose and foresight in human design may well be unwise. After all, do we really know how door hinges and can openers were created? In fact, we may know less about the origins of these everyday contrivances than we know about the origins of bivalve shells, sharks and hedgehogs. By attributing the origins of animals and artifacts to different kinds of designers—one blind, the other intelligent—both Darwin and Dawkins lapse into the same kind of "designer thinking" that ensnared creationists like Paley. Such thinking rests on the familiarity and deceptive simplicity of mentalistic explanations of behavior, as when Dawkins uncritically appeals to the foresight and purpose of the watchmaker rather than entertaining possibly deeper questions about the origins of the watch. He may be giving human designers too much credit.

8 pieces = 160 calories
They may be flavored with real fruit juice, but these chewy candies are mostly just corn syrup and hydrogenated oils—AKA sugar and fat. Because of that, one or two pieces isn't likely to satisfy your hunger. Since each Starburst square is 20 calories, to burn off a recommended serving of eight pieces, you'd have to do about 50 minutes of Pilates.

The most impressive upright, stick, and robot vacuums from the models we've tested so far.
The AM06 is an impressive spectacle to behold -- but it's still just a desk fan. For such an expensive device, we wish that it doubled as a space heater, like Dyson's AM05, or featured a more noticeable bump in performance. It doesn't, and that makes it difficult to recommend.
The DC59 is an elegant, customizable vacuum that performed well on a variety of flooring surfaces and with an array of debris types. If you're not looking for a budget-friendly model, you can count on the DC59 to make vacuuming as enjoyable as possible.
The DC41's design disappointed us, and the DC65's isn't any better. Despite the strong performance scores, this pricey Dyson is still difficult to recommend.
You could do a lot worse than the DC40; however, you could also do better and spend less.
You don't need to pay $649 to own a vacuum that cleans at this level, and if you are paying that much, you deserve a machine with a better design than this.
You can buy a better-performing vacuum for far less money, making the Dyson DC50 a poor value.
If your cleaning needs are limited to dust and other small stuff, this Samsung is stellar, but plenty of other uprights deliver better performance and usability for less.
Have a look at Dyson's newest high-end upright vacuum.
CNET UK goes hands-on with Dyson's latest contribution to hygiene, the Airblade Tap -- a combination faucet and hand dryer.
At $299, this top-of-the-line desk fan is cool, but costly.

How to Make Better Career Decisions and Avoid Setbacks
Nathan Bennett, a management professor at Georgia Tech and co-author of Your Career Game, explains how game theory can help people make better career decisions, give them an edge in today's competitive job market, and how it can help them rebound from--if not avoid--career setbacks such as layoffs.
Tue, May 11, 2010
CIO — When Nathan Bennett and Stephen Miles started working on their book, Your Career Game: How Game Theory Can Help You Achieve Your Professional Goals (Stanford University Press 2010), they noticed that the vast majority of career management books offer the same advice: Get to know yourself, what you like and dislike, what you're good at, and find a job that combines those things.
Bennett and Miles also noticed that the career advice that authors and experts dispense today hasn't changed much in 50 years. They found an article published in 1959, for instance, that advised professionals to consider their interests, abilities and personality when matching themselves to jobs. Sound familiar?
Bennett says Your Career Game takes a different approach to career management. Instead of focusing on strengths and weaknesses, Your Career Game aims to help people better plan their careers and make better career decisions using the principles of game theory.
Game theory, explains Bennett, a professor of management at Georgia Tech, is a way to model decision-making when there are interdependant, competing individuals involved in a given decision. It attempts to mathematically represent rational behavior and rational decisions when different people are interacting, he says.
Game theory is popular in politics and has been used to understand terrorism and evolution. Bennett and Miles believe game theory lends itself to career management, even though people involved in career decisions don't always act rationally, because careers can easily be thought of as games—strategic games that have rules and involve multiple players, often with competing interests.
Moreover, in many people's careers, they want to win something—whether a promotion or a position as the CIO of a Fortune 500 company. And as in a strategic game of chess, an individual has to make a series of moves in order to achieve that goal and win his or her career game.
"We see game theory as an opportunity to really reconfigure the way people approach their career decisions," says Bennett. "We think it provides them with a framework that allows them to be more strategic."
Game theory offers its practitioners a series of questions they can ask themselves to model a decision or outcome, whether it relates to someone's career or an election. Because game theory emphasizes thought and logic, it seems suited to the mathematical, analytical minds of IT professionals.
In this Q&A, Bennett explains how game theory can be applied to career management, how it can give job seekers an edge in today's competitive job market, and how it can help professionals rebound from—if not avoid—career setbacks such as layoffs.

I'm kind of a big deal, a photo by Official San Diego Zoo on Flickr.
We had fun today.
We had fun today.
There's been lots of controversy the past few days about Path's admittance that they had transparently uploaded your entire list of contacts to help better find your friends.
Today they released an updated that asks permission before uploading your contact list.
Ironically today Instagram also released an update that includes the perfect way to describe what they would like to do:
It's worded perfectly in my opinion, besides the fact that the application on your iPhone is called Contacts.
If you have an iPhone and live in the USA you should download this app now. It will help us take back this country from the big corporations who have bought congress.
It's been a long while since I've posted here. Too long. And it's a sad day to start.
Steve Jobs and Apple is the reason I got into computers. I started off using and developing on an old Apple II+ by Bell and Howell in 1983ish.
When the Mac was introduced in 1984, I begged my dad for one, and thankfully he got me one. The rest as they say is history.
I've seen Steve talk, both at WWDCs over many years and during my time at Apple in the Newton group – which was some good talks and some bad "we're shutting you down" talks.
I respected every time he talked, both good and bad. He will be missed, but I have the upmost confidence in the team at Apple, some of whom I know.
And I have the upmost confidence in us, Apple developers, to uphold the "make your app as good as the Apple apps".
Rest in peace Steve. I hope you are in Heaven now, meeting Jesus and all the great folks who have passed before you. I'll look you up when I arrive.
Turns out I was bored at a few jobs. Well worth the read:

So I started trainning this week for the All Guard combatives tournament at the end of March. I plan to compete at 185 so I have to cut 20 pounds before the weigh ins in order to compete in the devision that I want. The fights in the tournament are set up for three rounds with the first round being strictly grappling/BJJ stuff, the second round being Pancrase rules (open hand strikes to the head, punches to the body and grappling), the last round being strikes with head gear and 10 ounce gloves.
I've switched up my diet, am now eating 6 times a day, taking in about 2500-3000 calories a day.
I'm basically doing the P90X program in the mornings, running 3 times per week (2-3 miles at a time) and alternating between going BJJ classes and going to the boxing gym at night.
I was hoping I could get some suggestions and tips on trainning for a tournament like this and cutting the weight that I need. Peace!

I feel like crap, I got may ass handed to me today............The sad part is that I know I am more talented then they are.............I just could not get anything going........my technique was really sloppy today. I really didn't get enough rest last night and maybe all the workouts are starting to take toll on my body, but i can't stop now.....I just have to get better. If you can perform when your not feeling well, you'll be an animal when you are feeling well.

Even though residential real estate sales are down from last year, the Plano real estate market seems to be slowly picking back up for 2011.
There were 4,182 new homes on the market with 2,085 under contract during the 4th quarter of 2010. Of the homes under contract 1,908 were closed and have happy new residents that call Plano home.
Average sales price was at $259,807, which I was surprised with the 96.86% sales price in comparison to the listing price. The average days on the market for Plano was around 63 which was another statistic that stunned me.
The DFW metroplex in general has maintained its value over the past few years in comparison to the East and West coast values. I have seen an average of 3-5% in price values here yearly over the past ten years, due to the incredible Plano Independent School District (PISD) school system.
Plano was a farmland when I grew up here in the 1980′s and now is the 9th largest city in the state of Texas. As a current resident, I am proud to say I live in the best city in the country.

The Admiral Fell Inn Review
This inn is an upright anchor at the center of the action in funky Fells Point. By joining together buildings constructed between the late 1770s and the 1920s, the owners created a structure that resembles a small, European-style hotel, with lots of character and quirks. The rooms, which vary in shape, all have four-poster canopy beds. Three suites and eight rooms have whirlpool baths. Some hallways have a few stairs, and some rooms face a quiet, interior courtyard; if steps or street noise bother you, let the reservation agent know.

There are significant risks when banks originate loans that they don't want to keep on their books. So why do banks persist with securitizing and selling off their loans?
By Eleanor Bloxham, contributor
There's a battle going on that goes to the heart of the financial crisis and the way banks will operate going forward. And it all comes down to risk.
Wells Fargo's (WFC) John Gibbons says banks should retain at least some credit risk from most of the loans they originate. I agree, but I'd go a step further.
It's time for banks to rethink the value of holding loans versus selling and securitizing them.
Why? Risk management. The risks associated with loan securitizations and sales are tangible. I've watched financial executives sweat because they originated subprime loans and couldn't get them off their books. I have also participated in economic valuation analyses that showed that when you took into consideration the full risks and costs of subprime loans, a bank was better off not making the loans if it didn't plan to keep them. That's because the risks and costs of the loans are significant. More

Due to rain, the fourth annual Provident Financial Management Golf Classic benefiting the Bogart Pediatric Cancer Research Program has been rescheduled to Monday, June 13th at the prestigious Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Tickets for the 2011event start at $1,500 and sponsorship opportunities begin at $10,000 and are available by calling 323.330.0519 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
To date, the annual event has raised a total of $523,000 for "bench to bedside" pediatric cancer research at the Bogart labs at Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
Registration opens at 9:00 a.m. with a continental breakfast and putting contest, and golfing begins at 11:00 a.m. The event includes a complimentary barbeque lunch on the 9th hole, an evening dinner, a cocktail party, and silent and live auctions at the Sherwood clubhouse. This year's silent auction includes such lots as guitars signed by Sheryl Crow, Don Felder and band members of Metallica and Goo Goo Dolls; a drumhead and sticks signed by Bon Jovi; golf foursomes at the Sherwood Country Club and Los Angeles' Hillcrest Country Club, and more. The live auction includes a four-night stay at Exclusive Resorts; a trip for two to Las Vegas with accommodations at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, Jersey Boys tickets and a weekend-long exotic car rental; Dodgers tickets located in the 1st row behind home plate; and a 45-minute private flight with Captain Richard Pack in his P-51 Mustang World War II fighter aircraft.
The Provident Financial Management Golf Classic presents golfers with a rare opportunity to enjoy one of the world's top-rated golf courses. The Sherwood Country club is home to a championship 7,052 yard par-72 champion golf course designed by golfing legend Jack Nicklaus. Each of the 18 holes affords breathtaking views of the Santa Monica Mountains and lush landscaping with 1,800 mature oak trees, waterfalls, jasmine and rose bushes. The course also hosts the annual PGA Tour sanctioned Chevron World Challenge Tournament. The Sherwood Country Club is located at 320 West Stafford Road, Thousand Oaks, California. For directions, club specifics, and course information, please call the club at (805) 496-3036 or visit www.sherwoodcc.com.
"The Provident Financial Management Golf Classic offers an opportunity to get out of the office and enjoy one of the world's top golf courses," says Ivan Axelrod, Chief Operating Officer of Provident Financial Management. "It is also one of the few sporting events where every player leaves a winner with the
knowledge they have funded important cancer research which directly saves children's lives."
The Bogart Pediatric Cancer Research Program conducts leukemia and cancer research for infants, children, and adolescents at the Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Funds raised enable the foundation to receive more support for its research and care, resulting in eight to ten dollars in research grants for every dollar raised.

Hey all,
Please make sure to get tested for group b strep. Our doctor did not do the test early enough and in turn we lost our daughter to group b strep. This could have been avoided and my daughter would still be here if my wifes doctor would have given the test in the 3rd tri-mester.Roughly 30%of women have group b strep and have no idea. Our son is fine. Please share this message to help save a life and not feel the pain my wife and I have been throug in the past 3 weeks with the loss. Our son is is a ray of hope and happiness.
I'm deeply sorry to hear of your loss. When I was pregnant with my now 5 month old daughter I to did not have the strep b test. She was in the hospital for a long time because she contracted it and was also premature. My deepest wishes for you and your sons healthy life and Prayers to your personal Angel with God.
I am so terribly sorry about the loss of your daughter. What a horrible and painful event to have to live through. Kudos to you for educating people and helping them to avoid a similar situation. It is very important to be informed about what tests are necessary and make sure to be asking your doctor about them. Patients need to be their own advocates with their physicians. My prayers are with you in this very very hard time.
I'm so sorry you lost your little one, that really was a senseless loss... I thought that being tested for group b strep was routine since you have to be on antibiotics during labor and delivery to help prevent exactly what you went through... then again my doctor tested me for everything under the sun. Thank goodness i did not have it.
Reading your post broke my heart. I am so sorry for your loss and for the pain you and your wife are going through. It is a tragedy any time you lose a child and something no parent ever wants to go through. Thank you for sharing your experience with us so maybe others can get this lifesaving test done in time. We are all here for you and your wife---your Strong Moms friends are here if you need any support through this difficult time.
I am very so sorry, and I so appreciate that you are using your pain to speak out and educate others!
Jeffreinholtz - just wanted to say that I'm still thinking of you and praying for your family. Your little girl comes to mind often and I just pray for comfort and healing for you and your wife. I hope you have a lot of love and support around you right now.
Thank you so much for being so unselfish and allowing others to benefit from the terrible your family has endured. My deepest sympathies and I have tremendous respect for you for posting this.

Oddball fruits and vegetables to try
Ever intrigued by garden oddities, I've grown purple potatoes, black tomatoes and even plucked fiddleheads from the ferns growing in the shady portion of the backyard. Truth be told, the potatoes were good, the tomatoes tasty but unappetizing, and the fiddleheads, blech! But those are just my opinions. Backyard gardeners and farmers all over the world grow and enjoy fruits and vegetables that others might consider unusual, either in a good -- or inedible -- way. Here are five that might intrigue you. --JESSICA DAMIANO, email@example.com

Gift ideas for Mom range from traditional to whimsical and everything in between. Moms love to be thought of and choosing the right gift for her is always important. Give your mother a gift she will cherish or enjoy and you might bump your status up to Favorite Kid!
If your mother tends to be sentimental, stick with that when considering gift items. If you are able to give her something that is not only sentimental but also something she can use regularly, she will think of you every time she pulls it out. Items that fall into both the thoughtful and practical categories are personalized throw blankets, engraved picture frames, engraved hand mirrors and personalized desk accessories, to name a few.
Moms who love to cook would always appreciate items she can use in the kitchen, just make sure she loves to cook as much as you think she does. Nose around a bit and see what she does and does not have. Think about bolstering her supply of wooden or nylon utensils and grouping them with some new silicone potholders. You can give her some flavor infused oils to lend new and interesting layers of flavors to her cooking. The same holds true for flavored sugars and vinegars. Consider grouping together items of a particular cooking style or ethnicity and you may just get an invitation to a great dinner.
If your mother loves to garden, think not only about plants, but garden accessories. These are available in a variety of styles and price ranges and you are sure to find some that will suit your mom. Many of the products are available in copper or bronze, which weather well and become more visually interesting as time goes by. They can be adorable sprinkler heads with glass gems in the shape of different animals or insects, gazing balls, fountain accessories or decorative stones with special quotations on them. Try to gear your gifts toward her garden style and select items which compliment one another well.
The fun mom will appreciate gift items which lend themselves to the offbeat. Consider office items which incorporate feathers and glitter for a little glitz and glamour in the workplace. She'll love an apron with a quirky design and funny phrase on it or a comical figurine commemorating the occasion.
Gift ideas for mom can bring fun to everyone involved. Finding inspiration from your mother's personality and interests will help you find the perfect item. No matter what, think of love and your mother when thinking of gift ideas for Mom.

Cutting, Embellishing, Fabric, How-To-Projects, Ink, Stamping, Tammy Tutterow, Winter,
Pick the right pattern and a fabric you love, and with a little time and effort, you'll be creating a wearable item and there will be no looking back!
Make this beautiful dress for her to wear to the Easter Egg hunt. Just think of the photo opportunities to go along with it!
If you love gift giving but dislike spending money on packaging that will be thrown away, why not consider making simple fabric drawstring bags for packaging gifts? Not only are they simple to construct, they can easily be personalized by fabric choice and with simple embellishments like stamping. And because you can make them any size you want, they always fit your gift! Best of all, your gift recipient has a bag that they can use again and enjoy.
Cut two pieces of fabric to the desired size. To fit a specific item, measure the width of the item using a soft tape measure from one side to the other at its widest point, around one side of the item at its highest point. Add two inches to the measurement on each side and to the bottom. Add 3 inches to the top.
To embellish solid color fabrics, stamp the cut pieces with stamps using an archival or fabric ink pad. Follow the manufacturer's directions for heat setting if needed.
Place the two stamped pieces of fabric so that the stamped images are facing each other. Pin the two pieces together along the side and bottom edges.
Sew the two fabric pieces together along the side and bottom edges using a 1/2" seam allowance. After sewing, use pinking shears to trim along the sewn edges.
Leave the bag inside out. Turn the top (unsewn) edge down 1/2". Press the fold in place.
Fold the top edge down again, this time making the fold 1 inch. Press the fold into place.
Sew along the two folds about 1/8" from the folded edges to create a casing.
Turn the bag right side out. Use a seam ripper to remove the stitches and open the outside side seams in the casing between the two stitch lines. Only open the seam in the casing on the outside of the bag, leave the seam intact on the inside. Do this for both of the two outside side seams.
Cut two strips of ribbon to use as ties for the bag. To determine the width, lay the ribbon folded in half across the bag. Cut it so that it is long enough to be about 1-2" wider than the bag on each side.
Place a large safety pin in the end of one of the two ribbon strips. Insert the safety pin in one of the side seam openings in the casing. Feed the ribbon through the casing bringing it back out the same opening. The ribbon should go in and out the same opening and be fed through the entire casing.
Repeat the previous step with the second piece of ribbon, this time going in and out the other open side seam.
Trim the ribbon ends with pinking shears. Tie the two ends on each side together in a small knot to prevent the ribbon from fraying or from being pulled out of the casing. To close the bag, pull the two ribbon ties at the same time.

Put on your shoes
Spring has returned and with it the increased possibility of severe storms.
A couple of years ago, during a TV interview, a reporter asked an emergency room doctor what types of injuries he sees most often. The doctor looked in the camera, and raised his voice and said, "People, when bad weather is forecast, put on your shoes."

"I was very pleased with the willingness of the customer service representative to help me."
"Your customer service could not be better!"
"The rep was very nice and polite, in the US, and seemed like she really enjoyed placing the order."
"I had a phone chat with two of your agents regarding my order, and as far as internet marketing goes; this has been the best site I have found in regard to customer service. And I am recommending it to others."
"Frankly, I have no suggestions for improvement as your organization amazes me. I am so impressed with your operation. I am so surprised at how easy you make ordering eye products. While I'm not opposed to VRUs, it is so refreshing to call and reach a person and then you guys don't even have to ask much to find out who I am. Your systems must be very sophisticated and your representatives excellently trained. I have been meaning to write a note about how impressed I am with your company. Of course, it's people who make company's run well and you obviously choose the best as they are professional, courteous, knowledgeable, efficient, consultative as opposed to just selling (although they do a great job of selling!). I sense that you must put a lot into training and into the resources that you give your people to do their best. You must have great logistics, etc. as well as I have always had prompt delivery and always been pleased with the products, etc. If I have had a problem, your folks have been there to take care of the problem. There is great follow-through in all that you do. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! Thank you!"
"Excellent service. Always great customer service."
"You are great. Even when I received torn lenses you resolved it quickly. Thank you."
"You always have real people available to discuss any aspect of the order. The customer service representatives are why I continue to order with 1800CONTACTS."
"It was very easy to order and I received what I ordered."
"I like the ease of ordering online, and the delivery to the door. My schedule is very full and I do not have time to go to my eye doctor to pick up contacts."
"I have been very satisfied with my service so far."
"The contacts are much less expensive than buying at the eye doctor. Also every time I have called customer service has been great."
"I have -been using 1-800 CONTACTS for a long time and have been satisfied."
"Fast service. I got my contacts in a few day when I was told a week! I was extremely satisfied with the quickness of delivery."
"As a military member, it is not always easy to go to your eye doctor to get your contact prescription order. Then drive to drop the prescription off only to pick them up in a few days. Having 1800 contacts saves me time to get my contacts before I run out of them. I have never got the wrong prescription or a late shipment. Thank you for providing great service!"
"Customer service has always been AMAZING! The level of customer service is miles beyond any other company. Also, the free shipping offers, rebates, etc. are so important especially in this economy."
"I had a delivery issue and had an easy time reaching customer service and resolving my issue."
"Very easy to order and being able to text your prescription takes the waiting game away. That is my absolute favorite new feature."
"The customer service was excellent and it was so easy to place an order by texting a photo of the RX."
"Your people are polite, courteous and knowledgeable. Service is fast, and appreciate that you exchange if prescription changes."
"I didn't get an ordered collection of contacts, and the person I spoke to was so nice, and got me a new package right away, even though it was holiday! She was very kind, and the whole experience was great."
"The website is easy to use and the contacts ship really fast. And it's cheaper than buying through my optometrist."
"Great customer service. When you call a person actually answers and if there are any torn contacts they immediately send you a replacement with a coupon."
"Representative was very friendly and helpful. Transaction was very smooth and I received my contacts in a reasonable amount of time."
"Even though my old prescription had expired, the 1-800 Contacts representative went out of her way to get the information she needed to ship my contacts quickly. Her personal attention is much appreciated, especially as my supply was dwindling!"
"Matched and beat price. Contacts came promptly and great customer service! Appreciate the satisfaction guarantee."
"Great customer service when I called for help. Also, they have actual people available to answer questions!"
"The ordering process was extremely easy, customer service was super friendly and the guarantee is AMAZING!!"
"Excellent, cheerful customer service and generous replacement guarantee and extremely fast shipping."
"Customer service is the best of any company I have ever dealt with. They are ALWAYS friendly, have all the answers to my questions and make it a pleasure to call."
"Unbeatable price guarantee. The ability to receive customer support 24/7. Short or no wait time to speak with a customer service representative on the phone. Customer service representative's vast knowledge of products, ability to provide great advice and friendly/professional manner. Basically every other perk for ordering through 1800CONTACTS."
"The service is convenient and efficient. I appreciate the email reminders to reorder, not too often, but a nice reminder and the link directly to my previous order is very convenient."
"I've been using 1800CONTACTS for over 10 years, I recommend them to everyone. I've never had a problem."
"1800CONTACTS has competitively priced contacts, and the free shipping to your mailbox is convenient, at least it is for me. I also found that uploading my prescription was easy."
"They are 100 percent wonderful and I can't think of one thing I would change."
"The entire process was extremely easy and the customer service was excellent!"
"You have the best customer service EVER! It's easy, the reps are friendly, helpful, and fast. Good customer service nowadays is hard to find. Thank you!"
"Don't change a thing. Everything is easy, speedy, and your customer service is outstanding. Thank you."
"I am very happy with your service, and I like the shortcuts you have made to make the order process even quicker (sending email reminders that take you directly to your order information.) Thanks!"
"I have worked in a call center and been in customer service with multiple companies for years, and I cannot think of even one thing to improve. You guys are awesome and I will tell anyone I know who wears contacts!"
"You guys are the best! Thanks for all that you do! It's one less stress in life!"
