The Thomas More College of Liberal Arts and the Fides et Ratio Seminars at the Faith and Reason Institute (Warner, NH/Washington, DC) recently collaborated to host a series of one-week seminars entitled, "Introduction to the Catholic Intellectual Tradition."
Each summer seminar aim at acquainting and reacquainting up to 30 invited faculty from Catholic colleges, universities, and seminaries with the thought and teachings of the Church fathers, doctors, and popes—as well as significant works of art in the Catholic tradition.
According to Dr. Patrick Powers, Executive Director of the Fides et Ratio Seminars, "We are pleased that Thomas More College co-sponsored these events, along with Donald and Michele D'Amour, the patrons of the Fides et Ratio Seminars, as well as the Faith and Reason Institute and Dr. Robert Royal. The College's curriculum, with its emphasis on education in the liberal arts, humane letters, and the disciplines of philosophy and theology, is the kind of undergraduate formation that the Seminars seek to strengthen through faculty study of the Catholic intellectual tradition."
Dr. Powers pointed out that the fittingness of the collaboration between the College and the Fides et Ratio Seminars is aptly expressed in the motto of the Seminars' mission: "Nurturing the souls of young men and women by strengthening Catholic liberal education."
Authors whose works are covered in the summer Seminars range widely, from the Bible and the works of St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas and Dante, up through modern contributors to the Catholic intellectual tradition such as Walker Percy, Graham Greene, Czeslaw Milosz, G. K. Chesterton, Josef Pieper, Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI, Dorothy Day and George Weigel, among others. The seminars have also covered works of art, including presentations on Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling and the symphonies of Gustav Mahler.
Thomas More College President Dr. William Fahey welcomed the Fides et Ratio Seminars' partnership with the College: "We are delighted and honored to host these seminars on the Catholic intellectual tradition. The partnership between Thomas More College and the Fides et Ratio Seminars at the Faith and Reason Institute is a natural one, given our shared commitment to careful reflection upon and transmission of the intellectual life of the West—the heart of which has always sprung up from Catholic culture."
"Anyone who examines the structure, rigor, and purpose of our curriculum," said Fahey, "will see why the organizers of the Fides et Ratio Seminars felt that they would find a warm welcome at our College. Their decision to establish the new Seminars here proves false the notion that only large universities can support intellectual, artistic, and scholarly endeavors."
Dr. Christopher Blum, Dean of the College, attended a Fides et Ratio Seminar in 2008, finding it "refreshing." Dr. Blum noted that "University professors today are often forced to devote their summers to research projects that are increasingly recondite and incommunicable; the Seminar participants, however, were able to spend a week together conversing about what they hold in common: their love of the truth and their desire to serve students by bringing them to the truth that is Christ."
Dr. John Zmirak, literature professor and Writer-in-Residence at Thomas More College, took part in the 2007 Fides et Ratio Seminar. He said, "It was academically intense, with a serious body of reading that was discussed at a high intellectual level. I felt privileged to meet so many talented teachers and scholars from such a wide swath of institutions, and to join them in exploring works both great and good."
The Fides et Ratio Seminars generate fresh thought and action by bringing together religious and secular faculty devoted to the Catholic intellectual tradition and Catholic liberal education. Previous meetings of the Fides et Ratio Seminars have been held at Benedictine College (Atchison, KS), University of St. Francis (Fort Wayne, IN), Providence College (Providence, RI), University of Notre Dame (Notre Dame, IN), Belmont Abbey College (Belmont, NC), St. Malo Catholic Retreat Center (Allenspark, CO), Wyoming Catholic College (Lander, WY), Notre Dame Seminary (New Orleans, LA).

The Oakland A's pitching mound, Bank of Earth, replied to the recent criticisms of Texas Ranger pitcher C.J. Wilson.
"I hate when he pitches here. He sucks, his teammates suck. It's too bad because I became pretty close to their manager Ron Washington when he was a coach here."
"It's kind of sad because I have spoke with may other pitchers here - guys like Cahill and Gonzalez- All Star pitchers and they love pitching here."
"I would rather be a mound here than in Texas. I like the weather here a lot better and C.J. Wilson mounts me less often."
"He hates me anyways so it doesn't matter. The other pitchers on their team hate me, whatever. I don't care."

WSVN -- During last year's holidays, Dennis Silver thought he had pet-proofed his home for his beloved dog Barney. What he didn't count on was his holiday guests messing that up.
Dennis Silver: "Our daughter came here with our grandchildren. We kept saying 'Don't leave anything out because he'll find it. He'll smell it."
Sure enough Barney sniffed out some holiday cheer in their open suitcase.
He tore into these chocolate gold coins.
Dennis Silver: "We saw wrappers on the floor of chocolate. Of course we panicked and said 'Oh my God, he ate them."
Since chocolate can be toxic for dogs, Barney was rushed to the vet's office and thankfully got help in time.
Dr. Andrew Turkell at Calusa Veterinary Center in Boca Raton says this is the most dangerous time of year for pets.
Andrew Turkell: "This is the busiest time of our year all because of holiday-induced hazards It's something we see every day."
Not only do we need to worry about over-eating during the holidays, we also need to worry about over-feeding our pets.
Andrew Turkell: "It creates inflammatory bowel disease, it creates pancreatitis, vomiting, diarrhea."
If you're going to feed them from the table, only give them lean meats. Vets say stay away from carbs and fats.
Also, watch out for open bags of candy or chocolate and keep them away from the tree.
Andrew Turkell: "The most common problem we find is pets drinking the water from the Christmas tree bowl, which has these chemicals in it, that can have serious effects on the kidney and liver."
You'll want to cover the bowl or use a boundary spray to keep pets away. Keep holiday plants like mistletoe, holly, and poinsettias out of reach too, and wrapped gifts may look shiny and pretty, but if a pet swallows tinsel or ribbon it means big trouble.
Andrew Turkell: "The string or the ribbon gets actually swallowed, you wind up with a life-threatening problem."
Pay attention to Christmas lights and electric cords, puppies and kittens love to chew on them.
Andrew Turkell: "They can wind up with massive burns in their mouth and they can be electrocuted."
And as much as we love our house guests, they can not only stress out our pets but they also bring potential harm with them.
Andrew Turkell: "They bring prescription meds and they're all out of sorts, they leave out their bottles of pills on table, they may fall down, these drugs are extremely dangerous."
After last year's emergency trip to the vet the Silver family will not only be watching out for Barney, but keeping a close eye on their guests.
Dennis Silver: "We're going to plan a little differently, and make sure the suitcases are locked."
Richard Lemus: "Vets say the biggest threat to dogs over the holidays are chocolate, macadamia nuts and raisins. So watch what you eat and what they eat."

A bill proposed in South Carolina would mean no buts about it: If you're a South Carolina smoker, unless you put out the habit--not just that cigarette, you could be out of the running for a job.
The proposed bill would eliminate the smoker's workplace protection law and give employers the choice to not hire a smoker; it would not stop them from hiring a smoker.
"It doesn't mean all employers will stop hiring smokers, it just gives them the choice, but now the state has tied employers' hands," says Rozalynn Goodwin, the policy director for the South Carolina Hospitals Association which supports the bill.
So is the bill discriminatory: Locals think so, and lawyers say it may be, but that doesn't mean it is or should be illegal.
"Are they being discriminated against? There's no doubt about that," says workplace attorney Michael Brown. "The question isn't if they're being discriminated against, the question is if there's good reason."
How do you define good reason? Statistics show tobacco use costs the US 167 million dollars in health care costs and lost productivity each year. In South Carolina, it's around three million. That's a lot of money, but can you put a price on personal choice:
"It is a personal choice, but it impacts citizens' health, healthcare costs, and taxpayer costs," says Goodwin.
But smoking isn't the only personal choice people make.
"Are they not going to hire you because you're fat, because you're old"
23:21:17 "the well worn phrase is slippery slope"
The only things that are protected for sure are characteristics like race, religion, and national origin. But experts say employers are unlikely to discriminate against those who are overweight for example, because that's less clearcut. Everyone wants a healthier South Carolina, the question is how.

First Year Applicants
We encourage any family concerned about paying for college to apply for institutional and federal need-based financial aid.
To be considered for Bates institutional grant aid, you must first indicate an intent to apply for financial aid on your admission application — no consideration for institutional aid will be given after admission decisions are mailed. If you request aid after admission decisions are mailed, you will still be considered for federal financial aid.
Requirements for First Year Applicants
- College Board PROFILE and Noncustodial PROFILE (if your parents are divorced or separated) — You may use estimated information in order to meet applicable deadlines. Bates' school code is 3076. Please note that the PROFILE and Noncustodial PROFILE are required only if you are requesting institutional financial aid from Bates. You do not need to complete these forms if you are requesting only federal financial aid (a student loan, for example.)
- Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) — You may use estimated information in order to meet applicable deadlines. Bates' FAFSA school code is 002036. Please note that the FAFSA is required regardless of whether you are requesting institutional or federal financial aid.
- Parent (and noncustodial parent) and student 2013 federal income tax returns, including W-2 forms and all schedules. Early Decision applicants must also provide copies of 2012 federal income tax returns and W-2 forms.
- Student Non-Filer Statement (PDF) - if the student is not required to file a federal income tax return
- Supplemental Forms — If either parent is self-employed or owns any part of a business or farm, he or she should send copies of corporate or business tax returns for each business or farm in which an interest is held to Student Financial Services. Each document sent should include the applicant's name.
Important Information Regarding the FAFSA
Students and parents completing the FAFSA have the option of using 2013 federal income tax data from the IRS when completing the FAFSA. The IRS Data Retrieval Tool allows students and parents to request and retrieve 2013 tax return data directly from the IRS to use on the FAFSA, increasing accuracy and making is less likely that an application will be selected for verification. In order to take advantage of the IRS Data Retrieval Tool, Bates generally recommends that you complete your FAFSA after 2013 federal tax returns are filed, but if you've already completed your FAFSA manually, you can return at a later date to transfer your tax return information into the FAFSA.
Please note that electronic tax returns must be submitted at least 10 days prior to using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool in order for the data to be transferred directly into the FAFSA. Data from paper tax returns will be available in 6 to 8 weeks.
If your FAFSA is selected for verification by the Department of Education and you did not use (or are unable to use) the IRS Data Retrieval Tool, you will be required to complete a Verification Worksheet and provide Bates with an IRS Tax Return Transcript. Please note that the federal government requires us to collect this information, even if you have already provided us with copies of your federal income tax returns.
Copies of tax returns, W-2 forms and any supplemental forms should be mailed to:Student Financial Services Bates College 44 Mountain Avenue Lewiston, ME 04240
Students who are accepted to Bates will receive information regarding their financial aid eligibility with their letter of acceptance, if their financial aid application is complete.
Students who apply but are not eligible for need-based financial aid at the time of their admission may reapply for financial aid each year.
Students who do not apply for aid as incoming students are welcome to apply in subsequent years if their family circumstances change.

RG3 has another award.
This time it's the Big 12 Sportsperson of the Year Award. Rather than stat accumulation and skill from playing Griffin is getting an award for his sportsmanship "on and off the field". Why does another random RG3sus trophy in the case matter? Because it shows that he fits the mold even more.
Now we all know that being a boy scout doesn't win games, but now there's a little more assurance that the "selfish streak" comments are bullshit. If he were to become a leader down the road he now has something to throw in people's faces if they ask for credibility as a teammate.

Eau Claire (WQOW) -- The 90th edition of the 'War on 94' did not disappoint, with UW-Eau Claire knocking off UW-Stout 21-13 to pick up its first win.
The Blugolds got a huge game from senior quarterback Austin Neu. With the Blue Devils taking away the running game, Neu stepped up throwing for 181 yards and picking up 93 on the ground. More importantly, he had a hand in all three of Eau Claire's touchdowns.
"It's a great job by him of controlling the clock with his legs," says UW-Eau Claire head coach Todd Glaser. "He's a great competitor and he's always been that way. He does a great job of leading our team."
"Holes just opened up and I decided to scramble, but when we did design runs (Joel) Sweeney made great blocks and our line got a good push and we were able to gain yards on it," adds Neu.
UWEC hits the road to take on UW-Oshkosh next Saturday. UW-Stout looks to bounce back against UW-Stevens Point.

Recent statements involving Federal Transit Administration
The Atlanta streetcar is expected to create 930 jobs during construction, totaling more than 5,600 jobs over the next 20 years.
Recent stories featuring Federal Transit Administration
The Truth-O-Meter endures. But we occasionally give it a tuneup.
Due to overwhelming response from our readers, we're making a slight tweak to our ratings. We are changing our Barely True to Mostly False.
Many readers complained the Barely True rating put too much emphasis on "true" when the rating actually describes something without much truth. The definition will remain the same -- "The statement contains an element of truth but ignores critical facts that would give a different impression."
Sadly, last week, politicians did not give us the chance to shift the Truth-O-Meter to Mostly False mode. They earned two False ratings one Pants on Fire, and a single True.
There's always next week.

Nothing compares today to the epic story of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor's tumultuous relationship. Not even the Justin Bieber-Selena Gomez hookup.
An epochal, iconic, paradigmatic story of celebrity love, sex, marriage, divorce - and rehab - the Burton-Taylor yarn is the Antony and Cleopatra of our generation. (And we're all the more twisted for it.)
The Burton-Taylor tale is dramatized on TV for the second time this year in Burton and Taylor, a wonderful, if flawed, British TV movie that features a master turn by Dominic West as Burton and a surprisingly fresh take on Taylor by Helena Bonham Carter. It will be shown Wednesday at 9 p.m. on BBC America.

Mark Grace released from Tent City, ending 4-month sentence
PHOENIX - Former Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman and color commentator Mark Grace was released Monday morning from Tent City.
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office said Grace, 48, ended his four-month sentence after he was charged with endangerment and DUI in August.
At the time of his arrest, Grace was reportedly driving without a required interlock device and his license had been suspended for a prior DUI in May 2011.
Grace arrived at the Lower Buckeye Jail on Feb. 10 to begin his sentence. During his stay, he was granted work release.
Last month, he and Sheriff Joe Arpaio announced that Grace will work with MCSO sponsored youth programs once his sentence is complete.

News Release
Wildlife officer of the year recognized10 April 2012
FREDERICTON (GNB) – James Mundle, a conservation officer with the Department of Natural Resources, was honoured as wildlife officer of the year at a ceremony at the legislative assembly today.
Natural Resources Minister Bruce Northrup recognized Mundle as the Shikar-Safari Wildlife Officer of the Year for 2011.
"Mundle's professionalism and commitment to wildlife conservation and enforcement have made him a superb role model for all conservation officers in the department," said Northrup. "We are proud to have him on our staff to serve the people of New Brunswick and protect our natural resources."
Mundle, who has been with the department for 25 years, works in Region 2, based in Richibucto. He serves as a firearms' range officer, helping other officers to qualify to carry handguns, and has taught Grade 4 students about the importance of natural resources.

Teaching a Mathematica-Based Introductory Physics Lab
Richard Gass
University of Cincinnati
Download talk material:
I will discuss a Mathematica-based introductory physics pilot lab that is being
taught at the University of Cincinnati. This lab is taught to randomly selected sections
of the calculus-based introductory physics course. After the students have been introduced
to Mathematica, we use Mathematica as a tool to analyze experimental data.
Experiments include measuring and using digital video, exploring diffraction with a CCD
camera, and using digital audio to measure the Doppler shift. The pilot lab requires that
the students do substantially more work than is required in the regular labs, but student
surveys indicate a high level of student satisfaction with the lab.

Male External Catheters (MEC) vs. Internal Catheters
There are three main types of catheters; two are internal- intermittent and indwelling- and a third, external. So, is one better than the other? Here, we will discuss the differences between the three and the side effects that one should know before using.
Male External Catheters (MEC)
External catheter systems, also commonly referred to as condom cath, or Texas Catheter, are available for men. And while MEC's have been historically geared toward men, there are versions available for females as well. These are designed with form-fitting cups.
These MEC's are dubbed safer to use than internal catheters because a tube does not need to be placed in the bladder to remove urine. It allows the person to self cath. The catheter fits over the penis and connects to a drainage bag that is strapped to your leg. There are several different sizes and versions of MEC available. Many of this type are disposable and generally are reliable for about a day or two, which serves the purpose if the need is temporary. However, there are reusable external catheters for active men with incontinence, and are often used as an alternative to diapers and pads.
Although much safer than inserting a tube into the urethra, there are some problems associated with MEC's:
- Chance of infection, although far less than with internal
- Skin irritation and rashes could possibly occur from the friction caused by putting an external catheter in place. We offer Shield Skins, and Adhesive Removers to help manage these problems.
- Catheter coming undone. For instance, in older men the penis may have retracted it may be difficult to keep it from staying on. This is were a Retracted Penis Pouch is an option.
For more information of the Types of Catheters at BioRelief.com click here
Indwelling catheters
Indwelling catheters are a closed system inserted into the urethra to allow the bladder to drain, or in cases with a two-way catheter (Foley), fill up. Having two purposes is one reason that makes them different than external catheters, which only help empty. But because these devices are inserted into the urethra and bladder and left there over several weeks before being changed, problems can arise.
- First of all, when the device is initially inserted into the urethra, it can for some be painful and uncomfortable. Along with that can come a burning sensation and sometimes even spasms.
- Second, although a water-filled balloon inside the bladder usually tightly secures the catheter, sometimes the catheter can fall out. This could be a result of using the wrong size catheter.
- With this a third problem can arise- leakage or bypass, which means that urine comes out, but not through the tube.
- Blockage can also occur by using an internal cath as well. Bacteria, mucus or crystallization of protein can cause this.
- Finally, a urinary tract infection can occur from bacteria, leakage or blockage. In fact, UTI is the most common contracted hospital infection.
- Other infections could occur as well as a result of internals over several months.
- More serious results that could come about are bladder stones, blood in the urine, tearing of the urethra.
However, despite the problems that can occur with indwelling caths, sometimes they are the only option. For example, pregnant women having an ultrasound done need full bladders to achieve a proper picture. If the bladder is not as full as it needs to be they will need to be catherized with a Foley to fill the bladder with saline. Another, probably more prevalent, reason is that people who cannot manage using an intermittent cath themselves, which will be discussed in the next section, may find it easier to manage their everyday lives with an indwelling catheter. This is usually found in nursing homes, hospitals or with people with medical conditions who live alone in their own homes.
Intermittent catheters
Intermittent catheters are another type of internal cath, although they are inserted and removed only when needed. This very sterile method of removing urine are used by people every three to four hours to void the body of residual urine that may still be in the bladder. Once the process is complete, the catheter is removed until the next time for use rolls around. Because the catheter is removed after each use, there is less chance of infection. Since it is easy to learn how to do so, this type of catheter is usually inserted by the user himself or by a family member, as opposed to the more permanent indwelling version in which a medical professional usually inserts it- and it stays.
There are not many side effects to using an intermittent catheter, however, there are some:
- There can be some swelling and tenderness around the urethra due to the reinsertion throughout the course of the days.
- Infection can also occur if sterilization techniques are not in place.
Medical Uses
There are chronic medical conditions that may require someone to use internal or external catheters at all times, such as paralysis and bladder problems. However, sometimes someone otherwise totally healthy may also need to use them temporarily to help get them through the recovery process.
Incapacitating accidents, surgeries, illnesses and certain medical occurrences like a stroke can make going to the bathroom a chore on one's own. But thanks to biotechnology, it doesn't have to be. MEC's can aid in making the days and nights of the recovery process go much smoother.
Here are some examples of when and where our external catheters can come in handy:
Hip Replacement/Pelvic Surgery
Many times it can be difficult
Prostate Surgery
Limited Mobility from Various Conditions/Injuries
There are many surgeries that may require someone to use a wheelchair or be on complete on bed rest. Car accidents can result in leg, back and neck injuries. Falls, slips and other accidents can result in the same. When someone is confined temporarily to a bed and/or wheelchair, especially because they are not yet adjusted to their situation, getting up and around to use the bathroom when the urge to pee comes on may be difficult or even impossible. An MEC can be comfortably worn to help these patients stay dry during the recovery process.
More chronic-type illnesses that external catheters can aid:
- Muscular Dystrophy
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Diabetes
As you may have concluded yourself, the less a catheter is inside of you the safer it is. And, when it is not even in you, all the more better. MEC's present a clean, comfortable and easy-to-use option for those needing help emptying their bladders. Available in discreet versions for both men and women, many are beginning to see the benefits of this type of catheter. However, when health and medical reasons require it, there are more permanent versions as well.

Encourage entrepreneurship among the young
Dear Editor,
I have been deeply concerned about the new tax package. Professionals like myself have spent a small fortune to fund our education. Our main concern after graduation is how to make a gainful living. Where can students find employment that gives them the ability to pay their bills, save a little, and still remain independent? Gainful employment is simply hard to come by in Jamaica.
Difficulty finding employment may not be a new concept in Jamaica. However, the situation is far worse for the generation that was born in the 80s and 90s. While we were children, the Jamaican economy was steered into a complete meltdown. During Jamaica's financial crisis of the 90s, banks and insurance companies collapsed and over 40,000 small businesses were forced to close. An entire generation of Jamaican entrepreneurs disappeared. These were the private sector entrepreneurs who were supposed to employ my generation. With the government's wage bill now stretched beyond its limits there is no assurance that young people will be able to find employment in the public sector either.
The way forward is to encourage entrepreneurship among young people. Using their knowledge of cutting-edge technology, young people have the ability to revolutionise business in Jamaica with very little start-up capital. Unfortunately, the new minimum tax of $60,000 on registered businesses discourages enterprise among young entrepreneurs, some of whom are starting in the red because of student loans.
The tax may not seem like much, but it has the potential to be devastating to micro and small businesses. The one-year grace period that is allowed after the businesses are registered does little to cushion the effect, as it may take longer to generate any significant profit. Businesses may be forced to let go of one low-skilled worker in order to accommodate the tax requirement, which works counter to the well-intentioned request that each business hire one additional person.
I understand that there are businesses that cheat the system by claiming they don't make a profit when they actually do. However, the new minimum flat tax is not an acceptable solution to this problem. Instead of discouraging enterprise with more taxes, the government should be more focused on investigation of those companies that are underreporting. It is the tax dodgers who should be penalised, not those who play by the rules. I sincerely hope the government revisits the proposed minimum tax requirement and dedicates more of its resources to promoting entrepreneurship.

Like a deadly game of lost and found. After his last Tweet about having an awesome birthday with members of the Free Syrian Army on August 13th, Houston freelance journalist, Austin Tice, went completely off the grid. Until now.
A video was posted on YouTube showing Tice in, what looks like, the hands of jihadist captors in Syria. It's the first time Austin's family and friends have seen him in over two months, and while it's tough to watch it's a relief just knowing he's alive.
Tice's family's staying hopeful saying, in part, "Though it is difficult to see our eldest son in such a setting and situation as that depicted in the video, it is reassuring that he appears to be unharmed."
» The latest on traffic, delays and road construction delivered to your mobile phone. Click to sign up to receive text alerts!
It seems though that Austin's condition in the video has also raised some questions about exactly who is holding him captive. Some think the video was staged to discredit the armed opposition to the Syrian government.
Would that be considered a Taliban knock-off? Like the Tali-bun?
Where there's one conspiracy theory there's usually another. Other pro-Assad bloggers say the video proves the "western media is working against Syria." Can't speak for other news outlets but we can assure you, this is not an attempt to change your views on the Syrian nation. The State Department doesn't have a problem saying it though! They've come right out and said they believe the Syrian Government's the one holding Austin captive.
No matter who's behind the video, or who's responsible for holding him, we're just grateful Austin Tice is alive! Hopefully the next time we see him, Austin will be getting off a plane in Houston!

Guest Blog by Allan Pratt
MBA Technology, Infosecurity and Cybersecurity Strategist
There are many hot button topics in the realm of technology that, depending on how you move forward, could impact your business in a positive or negative manner. Here's a cheat sheet of technology trends to be aware of to help you and your business get ready for the new year.
BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) to Work. There is a lot of controversy over whether business costs will go up, down or remain the same in 2013 because of the BYOD movement, but no matter what happens, the reality is that BYOD is not going to disappear. That is why you need to draft a policy for employees and educate/train your employees about the use of their personal devices at the office. Wherever possible, use virtual machine (VM) solutions to keep employee and company software/data separated.
And in a nutshell, while BYOD seems like a good idea, there are a couple of issues you need to address and make clear in a policy from the start. First, state that your company is not responsible for maintenance or repair of the employees' devices, should anything happen to them. Otherwise, you will find your IT staff servicing different platforms of devices on company time. Second, do not allow installation of company e-mail services (for example, Exchange) on any employee-owned device. Doing so creates another attack vector for malware. The reason is simple: If an employee's personal e-mail gets attacked, your company network may then get attacked. A better option is to use a browser-based e-mail portal instead.
Technology as a Generational Link. Children no longer view crayons and toys as the objects of their desires — instead, they, just like their parents, want the latest and greatest tech gadgets. Keep this in mind when considering BYOD, because iPad's and other tablets may be used by all family members, which could have an impact on corporate data, access to malware and viruses, and security. Determine if your employees are bringing in devices that are shared among their family members. If so, tell each employee to give family members user accounts with appropriate access rights to protect against interference with corporate data.
Mobile Computing. 2013 will see an increase in mobile computing which includes mobile use, mobile advertising and mobile commerce. How will this impact your business? Do you need a mobile app? And, at a minimum, is your website mobile-enabled? Check out this interesting infographic with more details about mobile.
Communication. Millennials tend to text more, Gen X'ers tend to use e-mail more — your business needs to understand this and integrate these differences into your corporate communications and ways you communicate with customers, vendors, media, etc. You will need a written communications policy signed by employees, because text messages and e-mails can both be subpoenaed during e-discovery. Make sure your employees know what can and cannot be discussed over text and e-mail.
Ergonomics. You may not realize it, but there are many health dangers based on technology, including eye strain due to lengthy use of computers without breaks, carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel due to typing for long periods without breaks, and thumb pain due to improper use of thumbs when texting and pounding on space bars. Be sure you make it clear that all employees should take stretch breaks throughout the day. Injured employees lead to workers' compensation injuries, which lead to higher workers' comp premiums.
E-Waste. With so many desktops moving to the side so that laptops and smartphones can take center stage, the question arises: What to do with the equipment that is no longer being used or is outdated? Don't throw it away. Visit a Goodwill center that takes electronic items or e-waste, or find a drop-off location in your local area. Here's a link to find one near you.
Allan Pratt, an infosecurity strategist, represents the alignment of management and technology.

If you're looking for a faster internet connection, one might be around the corner.
Google Fiber is in a few cities across the country right now. C Spire says they are different because they plan to make it available to multiple communities in Mississippi.
The groundwork for C Spire's new "Fiber to Home" service is already in place.
"Today we have about 4,000 miles of fiber in the ground," explained Jared Baumann, C Spire Brand Product Manager.
They plan to work off that existing infrastructure and extend it to neighborhoods. The result will be faster internet speeds.
"It's just the pipe that provides you with the excellent resources that are going to be out there today or who knows what else is coming in the future," Baumann said.
They plan to add 1,500 more miles of fiber in the next year and a half.
In the past when everything was analog it would take about 144,000 copper wires to send the amount of data that could now be transferred over one single hair-like fiber strand.
The fibers are currently running through more than 50 Mississippi cities. Jason Dean with the Mississippi Broadband Connect Coalition says that competition factor is a good one.
"You help them understand that broadband has a lot of quality of life issues," described Dean.
Starkville has already started a Twitter campaign to be the first community chosen.
"The ability to have high-speed internet is as much an economic development issue today as having pipes or electricity or an industrial site available," Dean said.
The governor has said this technology could help lead the way to the "Silicon South."
"We expect to be in at least a few towns, very quickly," explained Baumann.
C Spire is asking interested communities to look at the information on the Fiber to Home website. They're also asked to attend a meeting at C Spire's Ridgeland headquarters Monday at 2 p.m.

Email: email@example.com
Rahila is a Ph.D. student specializing in Educational Policy and Social Context (EPSC) with concurrent interests in Learning, Cognition, and Development (LCD). Her research interests are in student and teacher motivation, urban school policy and program implementation, algebra course placement policy, and critical practice and social justice agendas.
Rahila received her undergraduate degree in Applied Mathematics Operations Research with a minor in English from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2007. She continued at UCLA to receive a Master's degree in Education in 2008. Her thesis research in socio-cultural learning theory was used to investigate secondary student helping behavior in mathematics. Her findings led her to practice a pedagogy that facilitated cooperative groups in which students explore mathematical concepts through a series of investigative group tasks. She spent the following three years teaching at West Adams Preparatory High School in Los Angeles, where she also served as the Mathematics Department Chair and the School of Business and Enterprise Lead Teacher. In her third year teaching she successfully piloted the school's first AP Statistics course.
Rahila is currently a fourth year doctoral student researching algebra course placement policy and its association with students' motivation and affect for mathematics. Specifically, this research is conducted using a linguistically and culturally diverse sample to reflect her interests in examining urban communities with majorities of minority and socioeconomically disadvantaged students. Thus far Rahila has combined her teaching experience and interest in student motivation in mathematics to produce a textbook chapter that guides pre and in-service teachers towards critically teaching mathematics (specifically Algebra) to enhance students' motivation. With a passion to help improve inner-city urban adolescents' experiences in mathematics, her future goals are to further bridge her teaching experience and research interests in mathematics policy and adolescent motivation for mathematics with social justice agendas.

Hip-Hop and Philosophy Converge
Infused with a free range of sonic textures, Ear Drum is peppered with an eclectic accompaniment of guest artists, including reggae star Sizzla Kalonji, torch singer Norah Jones, jazz legend Roy Ayers and poet Sonia Sanchez. A nearly 80-minute long musical journey, Ear Drum is like food for the mind, soul, and ears.On his last album The Beautiful Struggle, Talib Kweli stated: "You go to church to find you some religion/ And all you hear is connivin' and gossip and contradiction/". Further demonstrating his gripe with established/organized religion, Kweli continues this theological and spiritual soul-searching on Ear Drum's 'Give 'Em Hell' in which he asks: "If we all God's children, then what's the word of the reverend worth?" Throughout Ear Drum, Talib demonstrates a continued sense of maturity and reflection. He's always been labeled a "conscious emcee", and Ear Drum persists to justify this title. With earnest passion and sentiment, Kweli dissects the ills of hunger and bad health on the soulful "Eat 2 Live": "In Africa they starvin', over here the food hurts you/ Cows goin' mad and the chickens caught the bird flu/". And in the early stages of the upcoming presidential election, there's nothing like a political shoutout ("I speak to the people like Barack Obama")...
Hip-Hop Appreciation: History and Geography
Kweli shows his loyalty to east-coast hip-hop on "NY Weather Report," pointing out the real and the fake: "N****s is watered down, used to be no biting allowed/ Now they gangstas, no cryin' aloud/". One of the album's highlights is the UGK and Raheem Devaughn-assisted "Country Cousins," in which Talib and fam voyage on a soulful excursion throughout the United States of Hip-Hop, analyzing the similarities and differences amongst the genre's regions while dropping names of the pioneers we all respect. A poignant moment on the track is when Pimp C reflects on the memory of being put on to the now infamous Black Star album. "Listen!!!" discusses the importance of keeping hip-hop true to it's essence. Fellow advocate of this cause KRS-One rides along on the album as the New York duo search for "The Perfect Beat," settling on an ethnic-styled banger that effectively captures east coast grittiness as the pair spit daggers, with Kweli declaring: "My whole body is a spiritual facility/ Where I confess after a lyrical killing spree/ The illest delivery..."
Ladies Love Cool Kwe'
All seriousness aside, Kweli still knows how to let loose and have some fun. "In the Mood" is a jazzy, alluring serenade perfectly executed to make the ladies follow the title's instructions. Kweli's charm is complimented by his wingman, the always topical Kanye West, who adds yet another comical guest spot to his resume: "If [Michael Richards] say n***a, then I'ma say.../ Is this a Ritz? Carlton.../" The track is soon followed by the surprising Norah Jones-backed "Soon the New Day," a sultry hit-and-run love tale produced by the hip-hop jazzman himself, Madlib.
The Bottom Line on Ear Drum
While it's questionable as to whether Ear Drum holds up against his previous classics, it is without a doubt that this is most certainly Talib Kweli's most effective release to date. Ear Drum's diversity is what makes the album so great: not only as a hip-hop album, but as a testament to pure, musical creativity. Though most of the album's guest appearances are surprising to read on paper, it all clicks once you hear the method by which Talib chose to implement their various talents. Not only that, but in the midst of the wide array of supporting artists, Kweli clearly stands out as the star of the hour (and 20 minutes or so). Whereas Kwe's previous effort The Beautiful Struggle featured a handful of duds and skippable tracks, Ear Drum contains little to no filler whatsoever, an incredible feat for such a lengthy album.
All in all, Ear Drum offers an incredibly rich array of progressive hip-hop, both in its lyrical content as well as method/style. A strong album-of-the-year contender (probably '07's greatest...so far), Ear Drum is definitely worth giving a "Listen!!!"

Erin Gockel
Gockel's winning project, "Wanted: Energy Experts", was developed to help the next generation ensure ample energy supplies for the future. During the yearlong project, eighth-grade students at Tibbetts Middle School will participate in problem-solving activities and question the world around them. For the first step of the project, students will get an understanding of what the sources of energy are, forms of energy, and how fossil fuels become the products we see today. They will learn this by reading, researching, and learning from experts in the community. Experiments will be conducted by the students to learn about topics including the scientific method, alternative sources of energy, and the differences between renewable and non-renewable energy. During the second step, students will research and experiment with petroleum-based fuels, oils and gas in the San Juan Basin, conservation, and transportation fuels. Gockel, who lives in Durango, CO, hopes each student will become an expert on energy by understanding what products fossil fuels become, making informed decisions about energy, knowing the advantages and disadvantages of fuel sources, and seeing that energy is everywhere. She also hopes they will be inspired to find out how they can help with the energy crisis the country is facing.

Panthers' fan Renee King is ready for Sunday.
"Super excited about the Panthers. I cannot believe we came this far. I've been a Panthers fan since the beginning of time and I'm excited to see us go all the way. Hopefully we knock them out of the box this weekend."
Local businesses are hoping for the same. The playoff game is expected to bring thousands of dollars to Charlotte's economy. Hickory Tavern, in Uptown Charlotte, is gearing up for big crowds. Assistant Manager, Matthew Shoppe is excited.
"We're going to be busy pre-game, post-game, during the game, so yes, we're definitely anticipating a large influx of people coming into the Charlotte area, um yeah, so we're prepared, you know staff and product, to just be busy all weekend long."
Hotels are already full of fans. DoubleTree General Manager, Bill DeLoache, says they are seeing the boost already.
"This weekend is all about the Panthers. Um, the excitement both internally and with our guests is huge. With, um the weekend would have been very soft had we not had the playoff game. We're very fortunate and the economy will definitely be greatly benefited, our restaurants, our hotels, and all of the support businesses are going to do very well this weekend."
It's a victory for the Carolinas, but Panthers' fans will have to wait until Sunday for the big win.

Clip on and hang tight: it's time to conquer London's coolest climbing wall
Words: Millie Milliken Photos: Sam Walton
They've really gone to town with the mountaineering theme for Up at The O2. Signing in at 'Base Camp', our enthusiastic leader Ben shows us an OTT (but funny) briefing video before introducing us to the requisite climbing gear. Kitted out with jumpsuits, harnesses and Ecco trekking shoes, we look like a cross between explorers and an off-duty bomb disposal team. Pretty special.
Then, the ascent. Having mastered our safety leads, we begin up the springy, steep first part of the climb, which soon eases as the roof begins to curve. The time allotted for each team is 90 minutes, which is ample considering we reach the 52m summit inside half an hour. It gives us opportunity to take in the full-compass panoramas; views that stretch for 30 miles in any direction. After the obligatory photos and triumphant back-slapping, we make our way down the other side feeling, frankly, rather proud of ourselves. It's not every day you get to climb over one of London's iconic buildings – without getting arrested.
Up at The O2 costs £25pp. Other packages include Rock the Roof, Grand Exhibition, Action Adventure, Night Climb and Blue Hat, available for groups of up to 15.
The O2, Peninsula Square, London, SE10 0DX tel: 020 8463 2149

Blonde-haired man on bike flashed at 12-year-old
4:49pm Thursday 24th April 2014 in News By Anna Roberts, Crime reporter
A man rode his bike towards a 12-year-old girl with his private parts exposed.
At around 4.10pm on March 19, the girl was walking along Ifield Avenue, Crawley, on her way home from school, when she saw a man riding a bike towards her.
A short time later he passed the girl further down the road and touched her bottom over her clothing. She told him to go away and went straight home and told her mum.
Detective constable Penny Furtado said: "This girl did exactly the right thing and told her mum and police. The suspect is described as white with tanned skin, dark blonde hair with grey bits on it styled in collar length curtains, and had stubble.
"This happened after school time and a lot of people might have seen this man riding his bike in the area or recognise him from this e-fit.
"If you do have any information please contact us on 101 quoting serial 1069 of 19/3. Call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."

However, I don't understand how 'flashing' when cycling is a crime when hundreds of people do it in the name of the naked bike ride (or attention-seekers anonymous or whatever it's called). Apparently it's ok for young children to see male cyclists' bits as long as they are in a big group with grinning policemen cycling along with them.

Poor girl, she must have had a fright, especially if he appeared to be following her and touched her.

This perv had the intention to intimidate and assault a child.
The naked bike riders are trying to show people how vulnerable cyclists and pedestrians are on the roads and highlight the lack of infrastructure, justice and concern society has had for them. Its a display of vulnerability not sexuality - otherwise you would physically SEE arousal.

It's blond for men, blonde for women. Honest.
.."The alternative spellings blonde and blond correspond to the feminine and masculine forms in French, but in English the distinction is not always made, as English does not have such distinctions of grammatical gender. Thus, blond woman or blonde woman, blond man or blonde man are all used. The word is more commonly used of women, though, and in the noun the spelling is typically blonde. In American usage the usual spelling is blond for both adjective and noun."

On Friday 26th August 2011 at 6:30pm, the 2011 NAB GRADUATES will be hosting a beneficiary event at the ROYAL MELBOURNE HOTEL to raise funds and awareness for YOUNGCARE.
If you are unable to make the event, but would still like to contribute, you may consider donating to Youngcare directly through WORKPLACE GIVING, a CORPORATE PARTNERSHIP or a ONCE OFF DONATION.
Why We Are Supporting Youngcare?
Did you know, there are over 6500 young people currently living in aged care where THE AVERAGE AGE IS 86! Being young is about living a young life and having a young life ahead of you.
YOUNGCARE is committed to raising awareness of the issue to drive change and create real choice in care and ACCOMODATION OPTIONS for these young people.
However, there are still a great number of young Australians who need help, many of whom RESIDE IN VICTORIA.
So please, join us in making a difference in our community. We would like to raise the awareness and eventually, the necessary funds to start building here in Victoria. But we cannot do it alone. WE NEED YOUR HELP!
"TryBooking is proud to sponsor this event and will donate back all booking fees."

A panel created to review child deaths in Clark County was unable to offer solutions Tuesday.
A day before finalizing recommendations for Clark County Child Protective Services, eight pages of a report submitted to a blue ribbon panel were missing.
The eight pages gave specific examples of what an independent consultant found when looking into how Clark County handles child abuse cases. It's more about the 8 missing pages. It's about what's in the writing.
Eight pages with examples of how child abuse cases weren't given the attention needed is what Assemblywomen Susan Gerhardt was wanting to see.
The county's independent consultant was asked to remove the pages detailing such oversights.
Members of the blue panel then asked if the eight pages could be made public so they can move forward with recommendations.
Clark County Assistant County Manager said the county was acting at the request of the district attorney and respecting the confidentiality of some of the victims in the eight pages.
In the end, he left decision up to the panel.
Clark County Assistant County Manager Darryl Martin said, "We can't give our okay to release it, but we're not going to stand in your way; it's up to you and the committee."
The independent consultant then agreed to make the report more general, so the identity of the kids mentioned will not be recognized once released to the public.
As for the kids mentioned in these eight pages, Thomas Morton, the director of Clark County's Child Protective Services said nothing has been done.
Email your comments to Reporter Chris Saldana.
Some medical providers say they often deal with Hispanic patients who are afraid to seek medical care. It's hoped the opening of a new medical clinic will change that.

Quoting Sheena Mac:
We got a potty when Lydia was 6 months because we were doing part time EC (didn't end up working for our lifestyle) and she was into stuff so it was the only way I could go to the bathroom was to put her on the potty. She was crawling.
She sat on it whenever we did until 13 months. Then we moved and she began disliking it again. I didn't want to encourage the fear, so at 16 months we started giving her stickers for sitting on the toilet.
At 18 months she started showing all the readiness signs. She would take her diaper off before she peed on the floor. :roll: and other things. She got a rash and was having naked time and peed on the floor. I told her "don't pee on the floor! do it on the potty!!" so she stopped and went to the potty. for two weeks she would use the potty ONLY if she was naked. Otherwise she peed in her diaper/panties.
At 19 months she was fully potty trained.
She is now 22 months and having some regression due to a scary incident. We're just trying to encourage her to get back on the potty and giving stickers and praise. I don't want to encourage the fear by putting her back in diapers.
Ellie is 16 months old.. She shows no signs of being ready other then she loves the bathroom, but mainly the bath tub... For about 1 1/2 months now we put her on the potty to poop. She doesnt tell us she needs to go. She's usually always a little constipated so when she starts grunting and gets that "look" we take her to the bathroom and sit her on the toilet. Then tell her good job, good girl, etc when shes done.. I bought her a potty chair a couple of weeks ago and she not to into it.. I sit her on it when I go to the bathroom and tell her "peepee"
We arnt like trying real hard yet to potty train her.. Just taking it a little day by day..
