Some of "The Relatives" More "relatives Dear Editor: I just got back from the NAME convention in Indianapolis. I have only been involved in miniatures for about three years and was a "first timer" at the convention. To say I had a great time would be an understatement. It took some encouragement from my mentors, Romaine Eyler, Olivia Beard-Wall and Helen Sparks of the MEOW club in Westminster, MD, to convince me to attend the week-long event. I just wasn't sure spending a week of my vacation in Indianapolis was what I wanted to do. But it was Wednesday before I realized I had not watched the news or really realized it was even Wednesday. What I did know was that I took a couple of really superior workshops, spent a lot of time in the Hospitality Room, collected lots of ideas, saw a lot of great minis (the exhibits were awesome), met a lot of new friends, got some bargains at the garage sale, was wowed at the auction, spent some money in the sales room, visited the NAME museum, and was totally rejuvenated. Everyone was very friendly and supportive. I have been sharing the pictures and stories of my vacation with my co-workers, friends and family, and they are anxious to see my new creations. Thank you so much for a great convention. See ya' next time. Mary Myers Club Happenings Club Opportunities members of MMU had visited the display before.

Springfield College Physician Assistant Program Produces Perfect Pass Rate
In the photo above from left to right, Springfield College Chair of the Physician Assistant Studies Department Charles Milch and Springfield College Dean of the School of Health Sciences and Rehabilitation Studies David Miller.
The Springfield College Physician Assistant (PA) Program had 100 percent of their 2013 graduates pass the Physician Assistant National Certifying Exam (PANCE) in their first attempt to become certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants. This marks the sixth-consecutive year that physician assistant graduates have earned a 100 percent pass rate on the national certifying exam for first-time takers.
PANCE is a computer-based, multiple-choice test comprised of questions that assess basic medical and surgical knowledge. To be eligible for PANCE, students must have graduated from a physician assistant program accredited by the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant Program.
The Springfield College PA Program educates primary care physician assistants eligible for employment in a wide variety of medical settings and specialties. This 27-month graduate program culminates in a master of science in physician assistant studies. Students can enter the program as a first-year student, and in six years, earn a bachelor of science in health science/pre PA and complete the master's-level PA program. The master of science degree is awarded at the conclusion of the PA program.

Canoe-trip in Filand: xpro
From the canoe-trip in Finland I have 4 film rolls. One of them I cross-processed, and I am very happy with the results. Now I wish I did cross-process more of them. First time I tried Lomography X-Pro Slide 200 film, I will definitely use it more often!This photo was shot on film. Taken by lokke with a Lomography Diana Mini (available in our Online Shop) loaded with Lomography X-Pro Chrome 100 (35mm) film in Ghent, Belgium. These tags describe this photo: xpro, cross, processed, pie, food, and cherries. This photo can also be found in the album Finland: cross-processed.

Joseph Rowntree Foundation – Monitoring Poverty and Social Exlusion Annual Report 2010
Posted by Realsociology on 6th December 2010
OK, so you may accuse me of biased interpretation of the stats (see below) but I get the following impression – there are more people (13 million!) living in poverty this year compared to last – despite the fact that the wealth of the richest thousand people grew by £77 billion last year.
On the plus side, the number of children leaving school without qualifications has fallen, so our kids are better educated – however, the unemployment rate for 16-24 year olds is the highest in nearly two decades, so those qualifications won't get them jobs, so aren't that much use in lifting them out of poverty.Finally, the number of workless families who are in poverty has fallen in the last year, while the number of children in working families in poverty has risen – suggesting that combining work and having a family is economically irrational.
Maybe now that children from poorer families are better educated, they are in an even better position to figure out that work doesn't pay compared to staying of benefits!
This is what I love about the JRF 'monitoring poverty' report – it's a no nonsense guide to how messed up our country is!
In a summary in the Guardian Julia Unwin says -
'Over the last decade we have seen poverty rates fall, before rising back up to their highest levels for years, with many of the gains lost years before the recession reared its head. In terms of income poverty, on the most-used measure, we are back to where we started at the beginning of the millennium, with rates now at the same level as 2000; having risen every year since 2004/05. The advances made during Labour's first term did not hold.'
Some of the key stats from the summary
- By 2008/09, 13m people were in poverty. Of these, 5.8m (44% of the total) were in 'deep poverty' (household income at least one-third below the poverty line), the highest proportion on record.
- Despite the recession, the number of children in poverty in workless families fell in 2008/09, to 1.6m, the lowest since 1984, but those in working families rose slightly to 2.1m, the highest on record.
- The numbers of 16-year-olds lacking five GCSEs at any level and of 19-year-olds lacking a level 2 qualification fell in 2009, and are lower than any time in the previous decade.
- By mid-2010, the unemployment rate among those aged16–24 was, at 20%, the highest in 18 years, and three times that for other adults. After the last recession (1993), the rate was 16%, twice as high as for the rest of the population.

The policeman suffered minor injuries to his arm and has made a complaint to his superiors.

Agencies have not dealt with challenges that social media brings to managing and identifying records, protecting personal information, and ensuring the security of federal information and system, the report stated.
The 23 major agencies that GAO examined have made mixed progress in setting policies.
Twelve of the agencies have issued guidance outlining how to manage records by their use of social media, as well as recordkeeping duties.
Twelve of them updated privacy policies, and eight assessed risks to privacy and the likelihood of personal information going out unintentionally to the public through the new media.
Seven agencies have documented security risks, such as the potential for a hacker to launch attacks against the federal information system, and ways to alleviate controls associated with social media.
GAO recommended that agencies need to consider protecting themselves to avoid hacking and also keeping good records.
Although policies may not be needed in all cases, "social media technologies present unique challenges and risks," GAO reported. Listen to a podcast from GAO.

Do you find yourself angry at work?
by Barry McKay
posted Aug 23 2013 11:39AM
So how many times a day do you find yourself angry at work? On average, a person in the workplace gets angry on the job twice a day.But what really drives you to the boiling point? I am for the most part,an easy going type guy.It really takes a lot to rattle my chain.And maybe most of you are the same way.But there is always that one pet peeve,well actually at least two a day that turn any Dr Jekyll into a raging Mr Hyde!
According to a recent survey,these are the Top 10 things that really get you fired up at the office.Please feel free to add your own comment if whatever gets your goat is not included in the results.
1. Other coworkers taking credit for your work.
2. Computer problems . . . from crashes to the Internet going out.

Hot on the heels of this morning's full and permanent G2 and Desire Z root, XDA-Devs members (apparently headed by grankin01) have released a similarly full and permanent root for the T-Mobile myTouch 4G. In fact, the method is very nearly the same, in grankin's words:
I was browsing the Android commit tree, as I like to do at 3:20am sometimes, and I just saw a new commit by Tor Norbye with the following description that made my heart skip a beat: "Add autoformatting of XML." This little update may not mean much to the regular folks, but to Android developers, like myself, this has been a long requested feature.
About a year ago, I wrote this article: Auto Formatting Android XML Files With Eclipse, which described how easy it is to achieve uniform, formatted XML files in Eclipse while doing Android development.
If you're a Vibrant owner interested in custom ROMs, then today is your lucky day. With their Éclair ROM amassing a 400-page thread in under a month, it's safe to say that Team Whiskey's new Obsidian release is going to draw the crowds. Posted on XDA-Developers just moments ago, let's take a look at just what this ROM has to offer:
As with most other Android phones, the LG Optimus S didn't remain a rooting virgin for long - in fact, it was only a matter of how long it took Android Central forums member KSmithInNY to get the device out of the box.
Before getting started, you'll need to download the Sun JRE (or should I call it Oracle now?), the Android SDK, and drivers for the Optimus S (model LGP500, here's a detailed guide on installing those).
This morning on Reddit, I spotted an awesome post titled "I got rid of that stupid lockscreen clock font...," showing nothing more than a screenshot.
Yesterday, I told you how to use pre-made icons to create a custom Android Phone 7 theme. Today, I'll walk you through how to create your own icons in Adobe Photoshop. I'm going to assume you have at least a basic understanding of Photoshop.
Estimated time required: 15 minutes for the first icon, and 2 minutes for each subsequent icon.
Difficulty: Low if you've used Photoshop before.
About a month ago, XDA-Devs member newone757 created a really great theme based on the one used in Windows Phone 7 - hence the name, Android Phone 7. He was kind enough to post the image files, a template image, and a short how-to, as well. I've taken the personalization a step further and created icons to fit my needs, and now it's your turn.
After celebrating CyanogenMod 6.0 hitting the final release version for a multitude of devices, the CM team got right back to work on the next version of the largest Android ROM on the planet. 2 months worth of sleepless nights paid off, as minutes ago, Cyanogen announced a new major milestone - CM 6.1 Release Candidate 1. According to the team, the release is definitely good enough to be a daily driver, and the remaining bugs will be quickly squashed, so go ahead and fearlessly hit up the download links below.
Thought the miniscule HTC Aria wouldn't be getting a bite-sized scoop of Froyo to call its own? Wrong! ls377 over at the Android Central Forums has packaged the leaked Froyo Sense RUU for the Aria into a flashable .zip file. There isn't really much else to say other than that you can flash it just like any other ROM (through Recovery Mode or through an app like ROM Manager) and that some users seem to be having issues with the Android Market.

5 TV Gigs For The Smoke Monster From "Lost"
After terrorizing Lost's castaways for nearly six years, the smoke monster made a surprise appearance on True Blood. It looks like Smokey has a new agent and is ready to work again. What should it take on next?
1. Lost / True Blood
The monster got its start on Lost and it turned out it was The Man In Black (Titus Welliver, Terry O'Quinn) in smokey form.
Smoke made it's debut in episode 5 and appeared in last night's episode. However, there's no word on how long it's arc is expected to last.
2. 1. 666 Park Avenue
Terry O'Quinn's new show about tenants possessed with a demonic force would be a great place for Smokey to demonstrate it's best spooky skills.
3. 2. Community
Sawyer (Josh Holloway) appeared in the second paintball-themed episode. Why not let Smokey join in the third iteration? #SixSeasonsAndAMovie
4. 3. Fringe
An opportunity to work with Lost creator JJ Abrams, Smokey could join the mysteries of Fringe.
5. 4. Game of Thrones
Smokey would look great sitting on the Throne of Seven Kingdoms - Joffrey be damned.
6. 5. The Good Wife
Much like Glenn Childs (Titus Welliver), Smokey could go toe-to-toe with Alicia Florrick or even take over Welliver's original role.

Originally written on Fox Sports West | Last updated 11/8/14
LOS ANGELES -- The pass was a little behind Adam Henrique, nothing that a slight kick of the New Jersey Devils rookie forward's skate couldn't fix. He got the puck to his stick and then put it past Kings goalie Jonathan Quick, a third-period tally that put the Devils in front for good in a 3-1 victory in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday. On a team with big-name talent like Ilya Kovalchuk and Zach Parise, it was Henrique --- with game and a mustache that's beyond his 22 years of age that prevented a sweep and forced Game 5 on Saturday. "You know, everybody wants to be out there in those situations," Henrique said. "You want to be counted on by your teammates, your coaches. It's nice that they have that trust in me to put me out there in those certain times of the game. . . . I'm just a kid playing hockey, having some fun." Henrique's goal --- which was followed later by an empty-netter by Kovalchuk --- prevented the Devils...

Jackie Chan is ashamed of his 31-year-old son Jaycee for getting arrested for marijuana possession in China, and is putting him on blast as a result.
The younger Chan was snared in a huge drug crackdown last week, allegedly in possession of 3.5 ounces of the illegal drug inside his Beijing home.
The movie star, in turn, has issued a statement denouncing his offspring and apologizing to fans on his official website, citing his failure as a father.
"When I first heard the news, I was absolutely enraged," Jackie writes.
"As a public figure, I feel very ashamed; as his dad, I'm very sad and disappointed. But the person who feels heartbroken the most is his mom."
"I hope our younger generation will learn from Jaycee's mistake and stay away from drug abuse. I would like to take this opportunity and say something to Jaycee."
