Dear Paul,
How do I explain Foxhall Capital's global investment strategy to my clients?
Foxhall Capital employs a GLOBAL MARKET ROTATION investment strategy. As global stock markets rise and fall and economies throughout the world strengthen and weaken, we constantly adjust the mix of global Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and mutual funds that are held in our client's portfolios.
Our GLOBAL MARKETS ROTATION strategy is based on the following principals:
1. When broad stock markets are in a long term, up-trending bull market we stay fully invested in an "OFFENSEIVE INVESTMENT STRATEGY" of global stock funds (mutual fund and exchange traded funds). When the broad stock markets are moving down into a bear market/recession we shift to a "DEFENSIVE INVESTMENT STRATEGY" of bonds, cash and hard asset funds like gold funds, real estate funds or precious metal funds, etc.
2. At Foxhall Capital, we believe "THERE IS ALWAYS A BULL MARKET SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD" and that is why all of our portfolios are globally diversified.
I n 1964, Benjamin F. King, at the University of Chicago, published a study that quantified that 75% to 80% of a company's stock-price performance was directly related to the overall direction-either up or down-of the stock market and industry sector of that particular stock.(1)
The study concluded that if the overall stock market and industry sector were going up, stock prices would rise. If the stock market was going down into a bear market/recession,
stock prices would decline. This is what happened during the recession of 2000 to 2002. The recession caused the entire market to go down and almost all stocks-the great, the mediocre and the bad stocks-all went down with the general slide in the market.
The most surprising aspect of this study was that the fundamentals of a stock or mutual fund, like earnings, sales and PE ratios only accounted for 20% of whether a stock or mutual fund would go up or down in price.
The conclusion investment professionals have taken from this study is that when the stock markets are in a long term positive up-trend, one should be fully invested in stock funds. When the long-term trend reverses into a bear market/recession, almost all stocks and stock funds will decline, so an investment manager must immediately implement a "DEFENSIVE INVESTMENT STRATEGY" of bonds, cash and hard assets like gold funds, real estate funds or precious metal funds, etc.
How long do these persistent market trends last? A Federal Reserve research study concluded that broad market trends tended to last 23 months to six years.(2)
This means you don't have to have a crystal ball, or be a market timer to make money in the stock market. You just have to have the patience to follow the market in the direction it is already going and it doesn't matter if you start investing in a trend a few months after it starts. It's OK you will still make money since these broad market trends tend to persist for several years.
Almost every academic study shows that a globally diversified investment portfolio is SAFER AND MORE DIVERSIFIED than putting all your eggs in one basket- even if that one basket is the U.S. stock market.
In future issues of this newsletter I will explain what analytical tools we use to determine these long term market trends around the world and how we can determine when the broad stock markets are changing from a bull market to a bear market or recession.
Please feel free to share these newsletters with your clients. I have always believed that the more an investor understands the Foxhall Capital investment strategy, the more they appreciate the lengths we go to in our effort to manage the risk in their investment portfolios.
Until next week…..

Policy Number: 69
Indirect Costs
Unless specifically disallowed by a sponsor's written policies, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston ("university") must recover all indirect costs on contracts and grants by applying its relevant policies and procedures.
The Office of Sponsored Projects will ensure that all proposals submitted to any sponsoring agency include the appropriate indirect costs. Any deviation from the indirect cost rates described below will require the prior approval of the dean or administrative equivalent of the appropriate unit and the Senior Executive Vice-President, Chief Operating and Financial Officer. All contracts will be comprehensively reviewed prior to finalization in order to ensure recovery of all costs.
A portion of indirect costs will be returned to units as part of the annual budget based upon the actual level of indirect costs brought in by a unit. Annual revenue from indirect cost recoveries will be distributed as defined in the annual budget instructions.
Direct costs are those costs that can be directly related to a specific project. Examples of such costs include the salaries, wages, and benefits of the researchers and support staff, consumable supplies, travel and equipment necessary to carry out the project, patient care charges, and alterations and renovations required by the research.
Indirect costs are those costs that cannot be directly related to a specific project but are incurred in providing services in an operating environment within which the research project is carried out and on which it relies. Examples of these costs include: maintaining and staffing libraries, maintaining buildings and grounds, and providing security, janitorial services and utilities.
The applicable indirect cost rate is determined by the source of the funds and the type of activity.
A. Private Funding Sources
Many private sponsors set fixed rates at which they will reimburse indirect costs. If a sponsor's written policy does not exclude reimbursing indirect costs, the university will recover a minimum of 30 percent of the total direct costs of the contract or grant. The indirect costs associated with all privately sponsored research and Clinical Study Agreements (industry-sponsored drug studies) are recovered in this manner.
The Office of Sponsored Projects groups private fund sources by category and applies the following indirect cost recovery rates:
- Grants from private sources (including those for training or fellowships) - the foundation's prescribed rate or, if there is no prescribed rate, 30 percent of the total direct cost for all activities associated with the project
- Contracts/agreements from private sources, including drug studies - 30 percent of the total direct cost for all activities associated with the project
- Subcontracts from federal grants or contracts - applicable federal rate
- Scholarships and loans - exempt
- Gifts and endowments - exempt
- Affiliation and program agreements - exempt
- Interagency Cooperation Contracts - 30 percent of the total direct cost for all activities
B. Federal Contracts and Grants
The indirect cost rates for federally sponsored projects are established through negotiation between the university and the Department of Health and Human Services. These negotiations are based on indirect costs incurred by the institution in the previous fiscal year. Sponsored Projects Administration prepares the proposal. The term of the negotiated agreement may be one or more years. Indirect cost rates are negotiated for both on-campus and off-campus research.
The specific expense categories that make up the overall indirect cost rate include: building use, equipment use, improvement use, operation and maintenance, general administration and general institutional expense, departmental administration, sponsored projects administration, and libraries. The federal rate is applicable to all research grants (not training grants) for which the ultimate source of funds is the federal government. Sponsored Projects Administration should be contacted for current federal rates.
Additional information about on/off campus indirect cost rates can be found on the Post-Award Finance page.

This artistic ring depicts the lotus flower, symbolic of personal growth and triumph over adversity. In Eastern tradition, it is said that the lotus represents an individual's rise to enlightenment, as the wetlands flower must first rise through layers of mud and muck before blossoming in the sunlight. This colorful lotus design is applied through a three-day art transfer process over mother of pearl. The ring itself is made of nickel and lead-free coated brass with an adjustable closure that fits most ring sizes. Ring diameter measures 0.75 inches.

St. Louis Cardinals vs. Washington Nationals, 2012 NLDS Game 5
Friday, October 12 at 8:30 PM EDT on TBS
The Washington Nationals forced a decisive Game 5 in their NLDS match-up with the St. Louis Cardinals with a thrilling walk-off home run off the bat of Jayson Werth. Game 5 will feature a re-match of starters from Game 1, as the Cardinals will call upon Adam Wainwright and the Nationals will send out Gio Gonzalez. Wainwright was strong in Game 1, striking out 10 and allowing only one run. Gio Gonzalez was far from the Cy Young-quality form he showed through the regular season, walking seven Cardinals' hitters.
The Nats have been outscored 23-9 in the four games so far, but all that really matters is that the winner of this game moves on to face the Giants in the NLCS. If the Nats win, Game 1 will be Sunday in Washington; if the Cardinals win, Game 1 will be Sunday in San Francisco.
TBS announcers for Friday night's game will be Dick Stockton, Bob Brenly and David Aldridge.

Senate budget chief JD Alexander on prison boss ouster, mental health and moreThursday, August 25th, 2011 by Dara Kam
Senate budget chief JD Alexander sat down with Gov. Rick Scott for an hour this afternoon at the Lake Wales lawmaker's request. Alexander was there to pitch Scott on allowing USF Polytechnic to become a stand-alone university at its campus near his hometown.
Before leaving the Capitol, Alexander shared some thoughts about Scott's ouster of corrections secretary Ed Buss, the $700 million cut to water management districts' spending and issues coming up in the next legislative session.
Alexander said Buss's resignation was called for, citing concerns about a possible conflict of interest with the woman Buss hired to oversee the privatization of the prison system's health care.
And Alexander harshly criticized Buss's business plan justifying the privatization of all prisons within an 18-county region encompassing the southern portion of the state, calling it "wholly inadequate."
Alexander included the privatization of the Department of Corrections Region IV in the budget late during the legislative session that ended in May. He's convinced it will save the state about $45 million.
Perhaps Buss was not as keen on privatization as others in Scott's administration or the legislature had hoped, Alexander was asked.
"That's probably true. Looking not from what he told me during session but what he did after session didn't seem like he was really taking that seriously," Alexander said.
Read what Alexander says about what the legislature may do about the water management districts, the shuttering of the prison health care watchdog and state contracts after the jump.

text: AMARILLO - Dozens of Amarillo Bell Helicopter employees are out of a job this week and the company says more cuts could be on the way. Bell Helicopter confirmed Tuesday they're laying off approximately 290 employees and around 85 outside contractors. About 28 of those workers are in Amarillo.Bell helicopter's President and CEO, John Garrison, sent out a mass e-mail to employees yesterday announcing the reduction in force.Garrison attributed sequestration cuts as the reason for the layoffs, saying "the realities of our business are changing. The reductions in U.S. Defense budgets are real and sequestration is having an adverse impact on our industry making the future for defense spending more uncertain than ever." Bell spokesperson Bill Schroeder said the production of V-22 ospreys is expected to be cut almost in half, even though bell just recently signed a contract with the Navy for 99 more aircraft. U.S. Representative Mac Thornberry says Texas isn't alone in feeling the defense spending cuts and he's working to ease the pain."We've been trying to figure out a way to replace those sequestration savings with other targeted savings in high growth programs because this is so bad and cutting smarter is so necessary," Thornberry said.Thornberry says Pantex has made had some voluntary reductions though no one has been laid off yet.As for Bell Helicopter, Garrison said "we will have to continue working through some very difficult decisions in the months ahead to make the business successful. That means that there will likely be more reductions in the future.""Staffing decisions like this are always difficult," he said. "Good people who have performed well will be asked to leave the company, but it is to ensure that we are successful in the future."Schroeder said the layoffs include hourly employees as well as senior management staff. The majority of those layoffs are at the facility in fort worth.

Almost everyone seems to be carrying an iPad, tablet or Kindle these days.
It's been one of the hottest gadgets up for grabs. People are getting it for themselves, even for their children.
Studies done on the use of E-readers actually show more people are reading, with this technology.
The typical E-reader read 24 books in the past year, compared to a traditional book lover who read 15.
Many parents think getting their child one is good, if it will encourage them to read more.
There are many videos on the Internet that show babies playing with iPads and other high-tech tablets, before they even learn how to walk.
They're tech-savvy toddlers, but put a good old fashioned magazine in front of them and the videos show the babies look confused, trying to push and swipe at the pages, not quite sure what to do with them.
We showed the video clips to Dr. John Leipsic, the Director of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Arizona, and he was amazed.
"I think it's remarkable, kids that young are taking to technology this easily."
But are they skills that come with a side effect?
Dr. Leipsic said technology needs to be monitored.
"Kids are going to get distracted," said Dr. Leipsic.
Distracted because in the middle of reading, a child's mind might wander off to a game they could play, not to mention Facebook, instant chat, or even text messaging, if your E-Reader is installed on a smart phone.
Not so good for concentration.
"I think with technology in general, it fosters a shorter attention span in kids," said Leipsic.
Also, not so good for your eyes.
"We're seeing an increase in near-sightedness in kids," said Leipsic.
In the Dasse home, they use it all.
Books are a way to bond. You'll see them reading on smart phones, E-readers, and traditional books as well.
8-year old Violet Dasse said she loved to read both books and kindles, but when we asked her which one was more fun, she instantly replied, "A Kindle."
Mom, Judy Dasse, admitted reading on high-tech devices was an incentive.
"When there's times they don't want to read, I'll say look I got a book on the Kindle, Violet will jump in and want to read it herself," said Dasse.
Other moms however, were choosing to follow a more traditional route.
April Turner said she might consider getting her child an E-Reader once they were in their teens.
"I think that we're bombarded by glowing screens everywhere. I think that our eyes and brains, just really need a break," said Turner.
Mom, Rita Olsen agreed.
"I think its too young for that. Computers and buttons will come," said Olsen.
Every kid loves story time. We asked a group of children in an elementary school reading class how many of them had read books on an E-Reader. Almost half of them raised their hands.
Staff at the early literacy program "Make Way for Books" encouraged parents to read to their children.
Whether it was a traditional book or a high tech one, staff said bonding with your child while reading them a story will foster a love of reading.
Assistant Director Jenny Volpe said they were considering adding an I-Pad to their large collection of children's books as well, to give parents another option.
Audrey Cione, a volunteer with Make Way for Books agreed, but said she still preferred old fashioned books, when it came to her own children.
We are moving into a more technological age, but I want them to appreciate reading a book, turning the pages, that's how I did it," said Cione.
Cione also worried that the fancy high-tech screens could hurt her child's development.
"They need to be able to turn the pages," said Cione.
La Frontera psychologist Dr. Mayday Levine-Mata said Cione had a good point.
"A lot of developmental progress is measured by the child's ability to turn a page," said Levine-Mata.
She added that parents need to supervise their children's use of technology, and make sure they were getting a good balance of both books, and E-Readers.
Children who liked E-Readers said they liked the fact that they could highlight a word, and it would give them a definition instantly.
Those who preferred books said they liked the pop-ups and colorful pictures found in children's books.
Experts also worried that the use of too much technology could lead to more cases of Attention Deficit Disorder.
It's not just children, I think society in general is becoming more impatient and ADHD," said Levine-Mata.
Leipsic said technology was leading us into an age of instant gratification. You push a button and you expect something to happen instantly. When it took too long, or the application didn't work, it led to frustration and impatience.
Levine-Mata said parents need to watch how they behave around their children, because if they act impatient and frustrated, their children will expect instant gratification as well.
Just like anything else experts said balance was key.
You cant hide from technology, but whether it's reading a book or a tablet supervision was important, not to mention bonding with your child when you read to them.
Experts recommend no more than two hours of screen time for your child per day, that includes all technology, from TV to tablets and video games.

I first fell in love with Arpege in college. I hadn't worn it for years until I saw it in another company's cataloge for full price. I bought a small bottle for $60 and when that ran out I didn't buy another bottle. Until I found it here at a much better price! I absolutely love the classic fragrance. It reminds of romantic summer evenings. While it can be worn daily, I like to save it for special occassions. It's a lovely classic fragrance that not everyone is wearing. I think that's what I like about it.

This is my very favorite fragrance, always elegant and reliable. I have been wearing it since college. It's perfect for women of any age, adding class and sophistication to young women and elegance and romance for mature women. My only comment would be, while you can wear this any time of day, I wouldn't call it a daytime fragrance. It's an evening scent, especially for a special, romantic evening.

Do you trust the United States Postal Service? I once did. Yes, I accepted a tiny number of errors when on rare occasion my junk mail was misdelivered. However, events in the last few days have totally reversed my thoughts about USPS.
First, my neighbor informed me that while away for a month, a check that IRS sent to me had instead been delivered to his house. I had been urgently anticipating this check. A day later, the Florida Elections Commission telephoned to tell me that my poll worker paycheck had been returned, despite my correct name/address. Wait! It gets worse.
I called USPS's 800 number for explanations. A very friendly supervisor apologized and assured me that USPS would report back to me within 24 hours. That was over nine days ago. I again called, received another apology and was given the USPS Florida Consumer Relations 800 number to call. After another apology and another seven-day wait for a promised explanation, there's no wonder why USPS is in debt.

By adopting from your local shelter or rescue group, you are not only saving the life of the pet you bring home, but also the life of the next pet that now has a room at the shelter instead of suffering on the streets. When you buy a pet, you take away a much needed home for a homeless pet, which adds to the problem of pets being killed in shelters simply because they have no home.
Best Friends – Utah's commitment to adoption is an essential component of achieving our goal to Save Them All™. We work with shelters across Utah helping to promote adoption and rescuing pets from euthanasia lists. Once a pet is in our adoption program, they are vaccinated, spayed and microchipped before being placed for adoption.
For more information about our program or a particular pet, please email email@example.com or call 801-574-2440.

The city of Prattville is celebrating. In just 35 months leaders have dropped the city's debt by 26 percent.
In 2011 the debt had reached $65.2 million. By the end of 2013, leaders report they have paid off $17 million and the debt stands at $48 million.
Mayor Bill Gillespie says they took many steps to bring down the debt including implementing a furlough, reducing employee force, and increasing sales tax up 1 percent to 9.5 percent, which was renewed until the year 2031.
With a reduced debt the mayor admits talks are already in the works for future prospects choosing the fountain city to set up shop.
"It feels good. You have good debt and you have bad debt. So we pretty much have gotten our good and bad debt under control and our cash flow is good," Gillespie said.
The city's credit rating has been upgraded from an A- to an A. He says a better rating will help reduce interest rates on bond and help lure in new companies. The mayor also tells WSFA 12 News city sales tax revenue was up 7 percent last month.

Enterprise Service-oriented Architecture
Enterprise Service-oriented Architecture (ESOA) is a blueprint for an adaptable, flexible and open IT architecture for developing services-based, enterprise-scale business solutions. An enterprise service is typically a series of web services combined with business logic that can be accessed and used repeatedly to support a particular business process. Aggregating web services into business-level enterprise services provides a more meaningful foundation for the task of automating enterprise-scale business scenarios. Enterprise SOA moves IT architectures to higher levels of adaptability — and moves companies closer to the vision of real-time enterprises by elevating web services to an enterprise level.

New state legislative districts that reflect population shifts seen in the 2010 census were released today.
The maps are published on the website of a legislative task force that drew the new district boundaries. Guided by population data, and likely a welter of political considerations, the bipartisan task force—its members selected by the Legislature's divided leadership—has defined a new state political map in time for November's elections. Those maps now go to the Assembly and State Senate for a vote. After that, they would go to the governor for a signature or veto, which has been threatened in the event of obvious gerrymandering.
Though its work could influence electoral politics for at least the next decade, the task force toiled in secret, deciding behind closed doors on revised shapes and locations for the state's 150 Assembly districts and, in a one-seat increase, 63 State Senate districts.
With few New Yorkers able to identify the districts in which they live, let alone name their state senator or assemblyman, immediate interest in the maps will likely be limited, largely confined to officeholders, those who would displace them and the entourage of both. Within that realm, however, the decennial districting process seems inevitably to attract controversy. This time around, it has been especially contentious, drawing complaints from insiders like Gov. Andrew Cuomo and former New York City Mayor Edward I. Koch, who want an independent—a nonpartisan rather than bipartisan—panel to draw the lines, and Common Cause, which has already drawn its own proposed districts.
In the end, said one Westchester politician, "The courts will probably have the final say." A veteran of the county's back rooms, he said it's unlikely that districts drawn by any of the oft-mentioned mapmakers—the Legislature, the governor or an independent commission—would escape a legal challenge or two. "That'll leave it to a judge to decide what the maps look like," he said.
None of this political churn is provoked by the ostensible reason for remapped districts—the need to keep them roughly equal in population—but instead by how they place "different sets of voters together in new ways," as the Brennan Center for Justice puts it.
"The way that voters are grouped into districts . . . has an enormous influence on who our representatives are, and what policies they fight for," the public-policy body says in a study of redistricting.
Over the years, political strategists have jockeyed to leverage a district's demographic data, combining or dividing ethnic, racial, religious and other concentrations to enhance their voting power, or minimize their strength.
In the practical politics of Albany, where Democrats overwhelmingly control the Assembly and Republicans have an edge in the Senate, party leaders typically strike deals on districting deals. This year, however, Cuomo has vowed to veto any maps that obviously exploit partisan differences or advantages
Today's maps are advisory-only. In that sense, the bipartisan commission that drafted them— the Legislative Advisory Task Force on Demographic Research and Reapportionment—functions as a legislative committee, reporting its work product to the full chamber for ultimate disposition.
LATFOR, as the commission is known in Albany, comprises two state senators, two Assembly members and two non-legislators, all of them appointed by the political leadership of the Legislature's two houses.
NEXT: Congressional maps, cutting New York's representatives from 29 to 27, are coming next.

Bluffs to talk to county about merging Police services
The city of Scottsbluff will move forward on conducting a nationwide Police Chief search over the next 60 days, but will also look at the possibility of consolidating law enforcement services with the county.
Scottsbluff Mayor Randy Meininger told KNEB News merging services with the county was not something that was looked at several years ago when the discussion simply involved Gering, so staff was directed by council Tuesday night to talk to county officials about whether it would provide better service, be more efficient, and put more officers on the street for the same amount of money.
Meininger says the structure of such a merged department is something the staff has also been directed to research. Meininger says the council nixed the idea of hiring a public safety director to coordinate the city's police, fire and emergency services.
The council also directed staff to take bids on the steel building on the former Aurora Loan services site. The bids must be a minimum of $400,000 and must include details on what the bidder plans to do with the building, including the number of employees to be hired and the payroll and benefits that will be offered. Meininger says the council wants to find the proposal that will provide the best economic development for the community.

Save the Children report highlights impact of 'poverty gap' in education
A report by a group of young researchers from Wales is aiming to highlight the impact living in poverty can have on children's education.
Six in 10 youngsters interviewed for the 'Small Voice: Big Story' report said a lack of money stopped them joining in with activities at school.
The report also warns the impact of poverty on children's education can affect their self-esteem, confidence and hopes for the future.
Charity Save the Children says by GCSE level there is a 34% gap in attainment between children living in low income households and classmates who are financially better off.
The Welsh Government has said it is committed to tackling child poverty in Wales and closing the 'poverty gap' in education is one of its top ambitions.
Nearly 200 pupils aged 11-14 across Wales contributed to the report.

I am a sixth-year teacher at Mountain Valley High School in Rumford. My fiancee is a multiage, second- and third-grade teacher. We're getting married this summer. We are excited to expand our family and add onto the house where we live.
We both freely chose our careers, and could both leave our careers, if we chose. That's what makes the governor's proposed budget difficult for us to accept or understand. It creates a disincentive for teachers to stay in the classroom.
In particular, the required 2 percent payroll tax would cost my fiancee and me, conservatively, $900 a year each for the rest of our careers. We will lose about $58,000 during the life of our careers simply because we are public employees. That's an addition for our home, or maybe a few years' tuition for a child to go to college in the future. But it will be gone.
Please understand, I don't mind paying taxes. I tell students in my government class all the time, "If it weren't for taxes, I wouldn't have my teaching job."
But, I think it's only fair that the governor be honest about the fact that he is raising taxes, and then ask everyone to sacrifice, not just those of us employed in the public sector.
Teachers are willing to pay their fair share. I just don't think Gov. Paul LePage should balance the budget on the backs of teachers, who already give so much to their communities through their efforts in the classrooms.
Jarrod Dumas, Rumford

Johnston♦Tobey Attorneys Selected Best Lawyers in Dallas for 2014

We reported last night that the men under investigation are Teamsters president Brad Slawson, Jr. and his farther, secretary treasurer Brad Slawson of the Blaine, MN, branch.
Both men have ties to the offices and hall here in Fargo, a key reason why the Teamsters hall may never open again.
As an investigation into the mishandling of funds by two board members in Blaine, Minnesota, has officials taking a look at the money that flowed through the local 120 in Fargo.
Officials shut down both the office and the hall on Tuesday and reopened the office today under new trusteeship. As for the hall, spokesman for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Bret Campbell says, "It's very unique. [The] only operation of kind in [the entire] Teamsters union. We're not comfortable in continuing the operations."
Campbell also says that members funds were not misused, so far as he knows, and "if it comes out they were, it's something very concerning... not acceptable. If [the allegation] turns out to be true, we'll work to recover funds from individuals who misappropriated it."
For now, the Slawsons have been put on a leave of absence. They will have a hearing within 30 days to determine if they will be removed from office.
The organization also says that, despite recent events, any events scheduled at the hall will still be honored, and Campbell says he hopes the Teamsters can continue to raise funds for various charities in Fargo.

Always pushing the boundaries of fashion and art, Lady Gaga took a tumble while wearing stilts for her latest photo shoot. It must have been the "hot dog that made her lose control"
The Daily Mail has the story click here
Every day is dress up day for Lady Gaga, so it must be difficult for her to up the game for real red letter moments.
Today is one such momentous occasion, as the 25-year-old has been posing for a shoot with iconic photographer Annie Leibowitz in New York.
Tumble: Gaga fell after trying to balance herself, but she kept hold of her hotdog
Quite literally, as it happens, when she fell off the stilts that had replaced the vertiginous shoes she dons for everyday use.
However, she looked incredible in a gold outfit that bonded the two worlds of ancient Egypt and Regency France.

A Standardized Patient (SP) is an individual trained to consistently simulate a specific medical condition or disease. For over twenty years, SP use has been a valid, reliable and practical method of teaching and evaluating medical students across the country. When properly trained, a SP can serve as a patient, teacher and evaluator, allowing future health care providers the opportunity to practice and receive feedback on specific skills related to patient interviewing and physical examinations.
The Medical College of Wisconsin's Standardized Patient Program has been in existence since the late 1990's and currently resides in the Standardized Teaching Assessment Resource Center (STAR Center).
For further information about our program, please select from the options below or email us at mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com
****Local actors hired to help train medical students
****David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA Standardized Patient Program
The Medical College of Wisconsin's Standardized Patient Program is committed to providing opportunities for medical students to interact with a diverse patient population reflective of actual clinical practice. Individuals 18 years and older of all backgrounds, educations, cultures, and experiences are encouraged to participate. All SPs should have an interest in working in an educational capacity for the betterment of students. Additionally, SPs need to be responsible, conscientious, patient, and able to participate in training sessions to develop proficiency in their performance. No prior medical knowledge, training, or acting experience is necessary.
Could you be a Standardized Patient (SP)?
Qualified Candidates will:
Have a good memory
Be able to portray a fictitious patient in overall look and attitude
Have the ability to give and receive feedback
Possess basic computer skills
Applying to be a Standardized Patient
The Standardized Patient Program is always looking for individuals interested in working with students in this manner. The work is sporadic and demographic needs often change, so we take on new SPs as need arises. Participants of the program receive a study stipend for their work. Study stipends begin at $13 per/hour.

There's the danger you know, and then there's the danger you don't know.
Most of us are rightfully wary of downloading and running programs that have no pedigree, or of performing day-to-day operations as an administrative user. But with each passing year, new security threats march in to eclipse the old -- many of them not getting their share of attention until it's too late.
[ Learn how to secure your systems with Roger Grimes' Security Adviser blog and Security Central newsletter, both from InfoWorld. ]
Threats go unappreciated for various reasons. Some seem too obscure or unlikely to be valid until they actually materialize in the wild (such as the .PDF exploits I document later on). Others are overshadowed by more widely publicized problems (e.g., the way Firefox's issues take a backseat to Internet Explorer's).
Here I'll be giving a tour of a number of lesser-advertised security issues that can bite you when you least expect it, and offering some advice on how to defend yourself.
Adobe's vulnerabilities
The threat
Apart from Microsoft, Adobe may well be the one software maker whose programs run on every Windows-based PC out there. Nearly everyone has Flash, Acrobat Reader and/or Shockwave -- and they are used by malware as delivery mechanisms. (Of course, Adobe's applications run on other operating systems as well, but it's the Windows PCs that are being targeted.) The danger comes when you use outdated versions of those programs, or current versions with unpatched bugs that are exploited as security holes.
The mechanism
One common manifestation -- one I've been hit with personally a few times now -- comes when the user visits a Web site with a Flash-powered banner ad. No clicking required: as soon as the ad comes up, it delivers its payload. Sometimes it also comes in the form of one of Adobe's other products -- for example, an infected .PDF document, which opens spontaneously upon visiting an ad. (I've been hit with this one many times, too.)
The prevention
Keep Adobe products updated and don't run your system as Administrator or root if you can possibly help it -- that gives malware possible access to your system settings. (Not running as an admin for day-to-day work in Windows is good advice anyway, and could easily be appended to any of the other threats listed in this article.)
Adobe does have an auto-updater for its products, but its behavior is weirdly spotty; it tends to only report updates for whatever product is currently active. If you run the updater within Acrobat, for instance, you aren't informed about updates to other Adobe products, so a certain amount of manual research is needed to make sure Flash, for instance, is current.
Another possible safety measure: Disable thumbnail previews for Acrobat documents. The thumbnail previews in Explorer generated by Acrobat were part of how one proof-of-concept exploit worked, so turning off that functionality or upgrading to a version known to be safe removes another potential source of attacks.

I'm trying to figure out why my oil presure goes up and down. At normal operating speed it shows about 60 % , I have the simple non-marked gauge. But when Icome to a stop or slow, the gauge goes very near to the low mark. I plan on running a slug clearner in the oil as well as taking out and testing the presure relief valve. First quetion, does the oil have to be drained and how do I test it.
P.S. I have changed the oil twice in the last 50 hours of run time, with high grade oil and filter.

I struggle with calling myself an educator. Despite the fact that I work daily with the children of Muslim Indian immigrants, ranging from age 4 to 13, on grammar, the quadratic equation, and reconstruction of the United States after the Civil war, being called Ms. Maegan feels uncomfortable. Despite the fact that I have helped at least half a dozen teachers achieve their Master's degrees in teaching in New York City, the fact that I am a college dropout cannot be erased. But yes, I am an educator.
It started out by being educated. I was never a student in the public school system of the Empire State. Always considered a "smart girl", I earned myself a place in private and parochial schools for my elementary years and a place in a competitive all-girls' Catholic prep school on the Upper East Side of Manhattan for my high school education. But something interesting happened to this Nuyorican girl who was raised by Puerto Rican immigrants to think of herself of a white girl with a Spanish surname. I met some revolutionaries, former Young Lords, members of the Black Liberation Army, and the Black Panthers and suddenly had a "click" moment. I was a woman of color with a history and a narrative that had been denied to me for years in the name of success and assimilation. It took a group of men who struggled and continued to struggle against a racist system to open my eyes to a world beyond ballet, classical piano, and EuroAmerican history.
Then again, I wouldn't call myself an accidental activist.
It all happened very naturally. From the moment I met Richie Perez (RIP) at a Muevete conference for young Boricuas. I wept the way a person weeps when they find Jesus. I threw myself into the work of working for Latinos in the U.S, specifically Ricans and other Latinos who had lost their own sons to police brutality in New York City under Mayor Giuliani. I found my calling. That calling was working to create community in the name of justice. During that time, in the late 1990's, Giuliaini time, I was accepted into a liberal arts college in New England, and struggled with being the first Rican white New England young men and women came into contact with. As I read Andalzua and organized events for the Puerto Rican political prisoners, I saw myself as part of a wider Pan-Latino community, as part of a wider person of color community. So much so that I couldn't, in good faith remain in Klu Klux Klan country Maine. I ended up in Chile.
In Chile, I ditched classes at el Instituto Chileno- NorteAmericano to hang with Chilenos and face tear gassing "Pacos", Chilean police, on the anniversary of the U.S sponsored coup. In Chile, I fell in love and ended up pregnant by a Mapuche in country where abortion was illegal. I returned to NYC, a young, unmarried pregnant college dropout. I continued organizing and running security for the National Congress for Puerto Rican Rights with the the only pansa.
The day after the march across the Brooklyn Bridge against the police abuse of Abner Louima, I gave birth to my first child, la MapucheRican.

Authorities have ended a standoff with a man who allegedly robbed a gas station Thursday morning.
What he took is most unusual. It wasn't cigarettes or alcohol. It was a bag of rice.
Police surrounded a home shortly after 10 a.m. Thursday looking for an armed robbery suspect. The home is located in the 2800 block of Van Brunt Boulevard, which is just a couple of blocks north of Interstate 70 on the city's east side.
The man was taken into custody about 11:15 a.m. Police are waiting for a search warrant before going into the home and searching it.
Police believe the suspect is the same man who shortly after 9:30 a.m. robbed the Express Stop located near East 29th Street and Van Brunt Boulevard.
Two employees at the Express Stop said the suspect came into the store, grabbed a bag of rice and put it in his pocket.
The suspect was then verbally confronted, at which point he opened his coat and revealed a gun in his waistband.
The employees encouraged the man to remain calm, but they say he grew agitated and began shouting.
After an undetermined amount of time, the suspect fled. He never pulled the weapon out of his waistband.

|Tri-county sales tax collections mixed
|Wednesday, December 19, 2012 2:06 PM
Allen County Auditor Rhonda Eddy-Stienecker outlined the collected September 2012 sales tax revenues which totaled $1,208,311 and yielded a 2.01 percent increase, or $23,804, as compared to September 2011, which saw total revenues of $1,143,942. The county's 2012 year-to-date (YTD) revenues totaling $15,200,305 was an increase of 4.72 percent as compared to last year's figure of $14,515,002.
The unemployment rate for the county in October 2012 was 6.7 percent, which is a welcome improvement from the 9.2 percent figure from a year ago.
Bev Fuerst, Van Wert County Treasurer, reports that September sales tax collections are up 10 percent, as compared to 2011, and attributes the increase to vigorous motor-vehicle, larger discount store, and the "back to school" season sales. This year's sales tax revenues from retail purchases have exceeded last years collections by over $78,000, and the previous year by $262,000.
After falling to a four-year low of 6.7 percent in September 2012, the county's unemployment estimate shows a rise to 7.0 percent.
"Sales tax payments stayed the same," Benroth explained. "We did have a decrease in direct pay tax returns and motor-vehicle sales."
Putnam County's 4.9 percent unemployment rate for October 2012 shows a 2.0 percent decrease from a year ago, which stood at 6.9 percent.

For the past 20 years or more, many people – prison rights activists in particular – have spoken on the importance of education as the most effective tool towards combating recidivism. We are reinstituting the concept of transforming the entire U.S. prison industrial slave complex into the largest progressive educational institution in the country with emphasis on Afro-centric and Pan-Afrikan studies and New Afrikan political education.
May 17, 2013
So now it is necessary for us to move forward and utilize our NARN science in order to resolve these contradictions – the problem – so as to enhance the power of the people! Hence, the Pelican Bay Human Rights Movement is hereby proposing to the people – the Prisoner Hunger Strike Support Coalition – that we initiate an online petition campaign with the goal of obtaining 1 million signatures.

About two weeks ago, the IGI (Institutional Gang Investigator) searched my cell in SHU and confiscated my Bay View newspapers, saying they are contraband if any articles speak on George Jackson or Black August. They said that the newspaper with said articles would be used to re-validate me at my six-year review. I should not be penalized for a newspaper article.
