Exploring Your Universe 2014 will take place Sunday, November 16 in the Court of Sciences. Stay tuned for more details about this open house and science fair that allows the Los Angeles community a chance to participate in UCLA's top-tier research program.

Hunting for Killer Asteroids, the Past, Present and Future of Near-Earth Asteroid Surveys
Thursday, October 9, 2014
Lecture: 6:30 p.m; Court of Sciences 76
According to research conducted by Jean-Pierre Williams and colleagues, Mars' atmosphere was probably never thick enough to keep temperatures on the planet's surface above freezing for the long term. It was published today in Nature Geoscience.
Under general supervision of the directors of the W.M. Keck Foundation Center for isotope geochemistry, the specialist conducts ion microprobe investigations, provides primary maintenance and support for the facility, assists visiting scientists to acquire data using the ims 1270 ion microprobe, develops and implements applications and software improvement, and undertakes a program of independent, externally funded geological or cosmochemical research. Ph.D. required Those interested in the position should send a CV and cover letter to Kathleen Micham. Salary commensurate with experience.
Boyce and his team of researchers show through a study of apatites that the origin of water on the Moon is uncertain. In UCLA Today: http://newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/misleading-mineral-may-have-caused-271755.aspx
Using a cutting-edge research technique, UCLA researchers led by EPSS Professor Aradhna Tripati have reconstructed the temperature history of a region that plays a major role in determining climate around the world. The findings, published online Feb. 27 in the journal Nature Geoscience, will help inform scientists about the processes influencing global warming in the western tropical Pacific Ocean. The study analyzes how much temperatures have increased in the region near Indonesia, and how ocean temperatures affect nearby tropical glaciers in Papua New Guinea and Borneo. Researchers also evaluated the accuracy of existing climate model predictions for that region. The findings illustrate that the region is very sensitive to climate change and that it has warmed considerably over the last 20,000 years, since the last ice age.
Astronomers, including Professor David Jewitt, have witnessed for the first time the breakup of an asteroid into as many as 10 smaller pieces. The discovery is published online March 6 in Astrophysical Journal Letters. Though fragile comet nuclei have been seen falling apart as they near the sun, nothing resembling this type of breakup has been observed before in the asteroid belt. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope photographed the demolition.

Pricewatch: Readers' queries
This week's consumer concerns relate to the speed of Eircom's eFibre, texting problems after switching from an iPhone, and Harvey Norman's very small print
'People should be aware that the sales people are making claims of service that do not add up,' says our reader in relation to Eircom's eFibre
Eircom's eFibre not up to speed that was 'guaranteed'
A reader called Donal recently answered the door to "a sales guy selling Eircom's eFibre service". The salesman was "armed with a printout with all the phone numbers and house numbers on our street. He told me – no, in fact, he guaranteed me – we would receive over 48 Mbps, according to his printout if we switched from our old copper line (which we were getting 17Mbps on). He went further, explaining that if we also went for the Eircom TV package it would be throttled at 40Mbps – but that it would also be at least that speed."
So Donal agreed, and a week or so later an engineer arrived and connected him. "At that point he had a tablet with him, and he showed me a connection of 40Mbps coming down and used the exact words: 'Now, you can see there's a nice steady stream of 40Mbps coming down'." However, after a couple of weeks the speed deteriorated significantly. I also rang to ask about getting a second TV box from them, but I was told that my line can not only receive 15Mbps, less than the old copper wire I had. When I perform a speed test myself I can see I get about 8Mbps, but if I turn on the TV that reduces to 4.
"This is a disaster and I feel I have been lied to."
Donal rang Eircom support and was told he would receive a call back but none came. "I know this is a heavily regulated industry. Have you any advice? I think people should be aware that the sales people are making claims of service that do not add up. I was never told I would get 'up to' 50Mbps, as the small print suggests. I was made explicit promises about getting 40Mbps. Turns out, if I have the TV on, the speed I get is about one 10th of that."
We got in touch with Eircom. The company is to "follow up directly with [our reader] to ensure we fully address his query. We are sorry that his experience to date has not been a more positive one but we are confident we can resolve his issues".
Texting issues after switching from Apple
Liz switched to a Samsung Galaxy Android phone six weeks ago after years with Apple. Since then, she has not received most of her text messages. "Some of the senders get notified their text hasn't sent, but most do not. I wasn't aware of the problem for a few weeks and then a few friends brought it to my attention," she writes. One friend called because she had not heard from Liz after texting her about a family member who had died. "So I went online and started following all the advice there about deregistering the phone from iMessage and deleting my Apple ID etc – there's a lot of advice online. I took all of it." Last week, when nothing she did made any difference she spent hours on the phone to the Apple help desk, and, "after a huge number of calls and being asked repeatedly to jump through hoops to help them solve the problem, they cannot fix the problem. They keep telling me they are escalating it even further but I need my phone to work now."

Buyer's Guide 2009: HD Camcorders
What to know when shopping for an HD camcorder
Labels: Cameras
Speaking of still images, most HD camcorders let you take still photos, too. Some will let you do it on the fly, as you're recording video. Others require you to switch recording modes. Both are convenient if you don't want to carry two cameras. However, you won't get the massive megapixel counts you're probably used to by now from still cameras. So, if you're looking for stills that can be used for big prints, you may want to bring your SLR along after all.
File Format
Newer HD camcorders use some variety of MPEG4/H.264 compression. This industry-standard codec was developed to provide maximum picture quality while reducing file size, making it friendlier for streaming over the web and other applications where bandwidth and storage constraints are a concern. AVCHD is a particular flavor of MPEG4/H.264. Digging in to the technical details of this technology would require an article unto itself and be a pretty dry read. Suffice it to say that your next HD camcorder should use some variety of this codec for compressing video. All of the cameras in this article do.
Once you have your footage, you'll want to play and share it. Digital connections are the best way to display HD content, so you'll want a camcorder with HDMI output. The HDMI interface looks like a wider, thinner USB and offers the same plug-and-play convenience. It also carries sound in addition to video—just connect your camcorder to your HDTV and you're ready for playback. To connect to older, standard-definition screens and devices, many camcorders also offer composite and/or component video output, but this isn't generally recommended, as you won't be taking full advantage of your HD content.
For the best results from your digital video, you'll also want to do some editing with software. The good news is that today's video-editing applications couldn't be easier to use. With software like Apple iMovie or Adobe Premiere Elements, you can go from raw footage to a polished final cut on a Sunday afternoon. To get the footage from your camcorder to your computer, you'll likely use a standard USB 2.0 connection. All current consumer HD camcorder models include this connection.

An elegant talent with the bouyant appeal to match, Diane Chambers exudes a dazzling vivacity. Catch her in the action comedy with a twist in "The Ladies Room" where she's already lit up the red carpet with the cast. She plays Eve a mysterious figure whom our intrepid heroine Tina (Heather Fusari) encounters in the women's toilet. Who knew under the floor lies another world reminiscent of The Fight Club and Diane's character adds a little ominous tone with aplomb. There's plenty of kick ass women who are as hot as they are tough in the "The Ladies Room". Ladies can be sexy at any age and Diane glows as she has such a lively personality. Certainly an actress I would love to meet in person one day.
Many will remember Diane starring in the viral creature feature "Sharknado" which spawned its sequel recently screening on SYFY. She also appears in "The Coed and the Zombie Stoner" which sees the lighter side of zombies as opposed to those on "The Walking Dead". It's interesting to note that Diane has actually been in 3 or 4 zombie features so she might just be on "The Walking Dead" someday too. If you love comedy than Diane is an enchanting funnywoman having performed exceptionally at the Comedy Store in California. It's time to get on the bandwagon and appreciate the unforgettable Diane Chambers.

Immigration rally in Nashua calls for quick reform, understanding
Starting at City Hall, the rally moved to the Nashua offices of U.S. Sens`Kelly Ayotte and Jeanne Shaheen, while people chanted in both English and Spanish that no person is inherently illegal, and that immigration reform is needed now.
Eva Castillo, executive director for New Hampshire Alliance of Immigrants and Refugees, fired up the crowd before marching on the senators' offices, saying the time is now for comprehensive immigration reform.
"You can't say that this isn't a New Hampshire issue. This is important, and we don't want to wait anymore," Castillo said.
Devon Chaffee, executive director for the New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union, said that while reform looks probable, now is not the time for activists to let up.
"We need immigration reform that will allow everyone in our society to contribute and not exclude anyone," said Arnie Alpert, N.H. program coordinator for the American Friends Service Committee.
Immigration attorney Enrique Mesa, who also sits on the Governor's Commission on Latino Affairs, said he attended the rally because he has seen firsthand people who were desperate to stay in America deported to their country of origin.
"People here over 20 years can get deported; it happens every day. Reform would let people come out of the shadows and be productive in the economy," Mesa said.
Alejandro Urrutia, a member of Latinos Unidos of New Hampshire, said New Hampshire could benefit from immigration reform because of the state's growing industrial sector.
"Reform will have real impact on families here and on the economy," Urrutia said.
High school students Marisol Saavedra and Juan Zamudio also spoke to the crowd, detailing their life stories and how immigration reform could help them.
Saavedra, a sophomore at Nashua High School South, said reform would allow members of her family, whom she called her support, to stay in America.
Zamudio said he is an example of how immigration to America is a positive thing; his parents brought him to America from Colombia when he was a young boy so he could have greater opportunities.
Now attending The Derryfield School in Manchester as a junior, Zamudio said his accomplishments in education might not have been possible had his family stayed in Colombia.
Sandra Strauss said she is not a member of any pro-immigration group or union, but in her opinion, reform is something that needs to be done quickly.
"I think immigration policies are prejudicial and not very helpful to citizens or immigrants.
"We need to be generous, especially as one of the richest, most powerful nations in the world," Strauss said.
Maria Thyng said immigration reform is important to her because her father was an illegal immigrant who was sent back to Mexico after her parents divorced.
The Rev. Tom Woodward said that he believes reform needs to happen as soon as possible, not just to help immigrants but also to help heal the country because citizens have been sharply divided on the issue.
Gary Schulte, conference minister for the New Hampshire Conference United Church of Christ, said he supports immigration reform because he does not want to see families get split up.
"We need to be sensitive to the immigrants amongst us," Schulte said.

Posted Monday, January 28, 2013 --- 4:54 p.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The Dane County Regional Airport has posted its second-best year for passenger traffic.
The airport says passenger traffic in 2012 was up 6.7 percent compared with 2011. In 2012, the airport recorded more than 810,000 passengers, second to the record year of 2004 when more than 847,000 passengers flew out of the airport on Madison's North Side.
The Wisconsin State Journal reports officials credit the boost to several service expansions.
The airport reports summer travel hit an all-time high in 2012 with passenger records set in June, July and August.

The Clash The Street Parade Lyrics
Last updated: 05/20/2013 08:44:14 PM
When I was waiting for your phonecall
The one that never came
Like a man about to burst
I was dying of thirst
Though I will never fade
Or get lost in this daze
Though I will disappear
Into the street parade
It's not too hard to cry
In these crying times
I'll take a broken heart
And take it home in parts
But I will never fade
I was in this place
By the first church of the city
I saw tears on the face
The face of a visionary
Though I will disappear
To join the street parade
Disappear and fade
Into the street parade

CreeksBend Golf Course
With its clubhouse occupying a renovated ivory barn originally built in the 1930s, CreeksBend Golf Course transports golfers back to a bygone era before embarking on a trip across a prairieland course replete with bucolic flourishes. As bluegrass fairways bob and weave across more than 80 acres of ponds and wetlands, quaint footbridges make the course navigable for clubbers and caddies yet to develop gills. Water comes into play on nine holes across the 6,293-yard, par 71 course, including on the signature seventh hole, a 161-yard par 3 where tee shots must clear a creek and avoid hydraulic hazards left of and behind the green. Before rounds, golfers can roll orbs across the 10,000-square-foot practice green to prepare for the course's speedy bentgrass putting surfaces, or share a tender bonding moment with their 3-wood at the grass tee driving range. After rounds, players enjoy retiring to the clubhouse restaurant to refuel with refreshments and casual grill fare.

.In 'Washington, DC, Roscoe was known as very civic active and political savy spouse. Sheappeared frequently on Television and was often mentioned in the Press. Roscoe like Ron, prior to coming to Washington, DC was passionate about ending the violent, oppressive practice of Apartheid. In the 1970's, Oakland and Berkeley, San Francisco's East Bay, led the way of the anti-apartheid movement. On college campuses across America students began to push for the end to this South African policy. In the 1980's Annette Lantos, wife of Congressman Tom Lantos (deceased of California) invited Roscoe to join the Congressional Human Rights Caucus' Committee of 21. This bi-partisan caucus of the United States House of Representative was organized by Congressman Lantos, who was a survivor of the Camps during the Holocaust. The Committee of 21 is a program for women Members of the House and Senate and wives of Members of Congress. The Committee encourages the women to "adopt" victims of human rights abuse. The caucus first focused on the ill-treatment of Jews within the Soviet Union. When the Human Right Caucus directed its attention to South Africa, it became involved inthecase of Murphy Morobe a black South African ANC leader in the fight against apartheid. Roscoe was asked to "adopt" Mr. Morobe through the Committee of 21. Mr. Morobe and two of his colleagues in South African prisons escaped and sought refuge at the U.S, Consulate in Johannesburg.

Impunity: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was accused of bribery last weekend, while two Obama Cabinet officials are leaving amid a trail of broken laws and squandered cash. Which, again, is the party of corruption?
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. So with a White House that rules by executive order and blithely ignores budget deadlines as its divine right, it's no surprise that a culture of impunity has taken hold through the Democratic Party in the Obama economy.
We're not talking about incompetence, or about policy errors, which are abundant as well in the Obama administration, but evidence of wrongdoing for personal and political advantage. That's what's going unscrutinized and undoubtedly unpunished, all because Democrats have the political "juice" to evade the law.
Over the weekend, Jeremy Johnson, a Utah businessman, leveled a serious charge that the second-most powerful Democrat after the president, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, was a beneficiary of what he called "a bribe" of $600,000 through the state's new attorney general to make a federal investigation of his IWorks company "go away."
"Senator Reid has no knowledge or involvement regarding Mr. Johnson's case," said Reid spokeswoman Kristen Orthman, in a statement. "These unsubstantiated allegations implying Senator Reid's involvement are nothing more than innuendo and simply not true."
Maybe not, but we can't think of anything more deserving of an investigation.
After all, who would a Mormon power broker from the mountain states go to in Washington to make a Federal Trade Commission probe go away?
That might be the man who has already shown a shady willingness to enrich himself and his family, such as the federal payout to a Chinese company affiliated with Reid's son for "green" projects last year, along with other questionable land deals. It also might be the man who showed a willingness to lie about a fellow Mormon, then-GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, in a completely false claim that he cheated on his taxes.
That's the kind of man Harry Reid is. With new allegations of bribery, he's likely to avoid media, congressional or White House scrutiny as he has in the past.
Yet he's not the only one in this Obama economy whose behavior, well, raises serious ethical questions.
Two others, both Obama Cabinet members, seem to be leaving one step ahead of scrutiny of their stewardship of their respective offices.
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa P. Jackson appears to have blatantly broken the law by maintaining secret email accounts to evade public scrutiny of her activities.

Women's rights: Turning point in India, triumph in Manila
Publication Date : 29-12-2012
Women's rights have been in the forefront of international concern over the last few weeks.
Up in arms against rape
Making the biggest headlines were the massive demonstrations in New Delhi and other cities in India provoked by the brutal gang-rape by six men of a 23-year-old physiotherapy student in a moving bus in the Indian capital. The crime, which saw the victim suffer extremely serious wounds in her genitals and intestines, proved to be the trigger for the release of popular anger that had built up over the years over the rise in violence against women.
The statistics are horrific. According to government estimates,; almost every 20 minutes, a woman is raped in India. In New Delhi, dubbed the "rape capital of India," the incidence of rape rose from 572 in 2011 to 661 so far in 2012. Of the 256,329 incidents of violent crime reported for 2011, a total of 228,650, or close to 90 per cent, were committed against women.
What accounts for what one writer describes as the "increasingly predatory sexual culture"? For some analysts, the rise in sexual aggression is related to male resentment of the erosion of the traditional subordination of women in India's patriarchal society by women's increasing role in the work force, their increased mobility, and their growing social and economic empowerment.
Also a major factor has been police laxness in dealing with rape reports and increased impunity by rapists owing to the victims' feeling that the legal processes are stacked against them and their wish to avoid the stigma associated with being raped or abused. India is, in this regard, much like other societies, and is little different from, say, the United States, which analyst Shenali Waduge, citing government estimates, says tops the rape chart.
Yet the current protests may turn out to be a turning point, for while much of the media reporting has focused on spontaneous demands like the death penalty or chemical castration for rapists and sex offenders, the recent developments may well mark the emergence of a massive militant mass movement in India that will focus on confronting head-on the patriarchal norms propping up the social subordination of women that is at the root of much sexual violence.
Historic triumph against patriarchy in the Philippines
Even as India's gender equation may be in the process of transformation, the women's movement registered a historic victory in the Philippines with the passage of the Reproductive Health Bill. The law, which makes family planning an obligatory policy for the current administration and for future ones, was passed December 17 in the House of Representatives and the Senate in the teeth of ferocious opposition from the super-patriarchal Catholic Church hierarchy.
Key provisions of the new law include, among others, the provision of free or cheap contraceptives to poor couples, institutionalisation of sex education for students from the sixth grade up, the establishment of maternal care facilities in state-run hospitals, and provision of reproductive health counselling and treatment for women in all hospitals, including those suffering from post-abortion complications, while ensuring respect for the rights of health professionals who cannot offer these services owing to religious belief.
The passage of the RH bill was seen widely as an enormous debacle for the Catholic Church, to which some 80 per cent of the population nominally belong. For 14 years, the Church hierarchy had thrown everything, including the proverbial kitchen sink, at the campaign to have the bill enacted into law. How did the RH advocates manage to beat an institution that has been a massive force in Philippine society for nearly 500 years?
Well, first of all, the Church was fighting a rearguard battle whose outcome could not be in doubt in the long run. Survey after survey had shown large majorities of the population favouring family planning and that these majorities got larger over time. Whereas 61 per cent of respondents in a Social Weather Station survey conducted in 1990 agreed with the statement that "the choice of family planning method is a personal choice of couples and no one should interfere with it," by 2011, respondents agreeing with it came to 82 per cent.
Yet the passage of the bill could have taken longer had it not been for strategic shift in the discourse of the pro-RH forces. Population management has long enjoyed widespread popular support, with some 90 per cent of respondents in an October 2008 Pulse Asia survey agreeing with the statement that it was important to "have the ability to control fertility or plan a family" for the "welfare of the country".
However, in the early years of the family planning debate, the Church and its allies managed, with some success, to paint a sinister side to population management, depicting it as an American plot to contain the Philippines population to serve the interests of the United States as well as a scheme to create a market for the big western contraceptive manufacturers.
The pro-RH coalition was made up of forces that saw unrestrained population growth as a major cause of poverty and underdevelopment and women's groups that focused on the reproductive rights of women.
In the early years of the family planning debate, the discourse was heavily weighted on the side of population management. In the last few years, however, the discourse shifted heavily towards emphasising the reproductive rights and welfare of women.
While the Church and its political allies continued to portray the bill as a foreign-inspired attempt to control the population of the country, the pro-RH forces were able to popularise the bill to politicians and to the public as one that would allow women and their partners free and informed choice in deciding the size of their families and the spacing of their children in order to achieve a better quality of like by providing them access to free or low-cost contraceptives.
While the Church and its allies denied that the family size was positively correlated with poverty, RH advocates produced convincing statistics that showed that the larger the family, the lower its income.
They also produced reliable studies that showed that over 22 per cent of Filipino couples wanted to limit their families to escape poverty but were prevented by lack of access to contraceptives and lack of familiarity with family planning, from doing so.
While the anti-RH forces claimed that promoting contraception would inevitably lead to legitimising abortion, the pro-RH forces turned the argument around and argued that providing access to contraceptives would greatly reduce the incidence of abortion, which is now estimated at 400,000 to 500,000 a year.
The anti-RH forces also found it difficult to counter the pro-RH coalition's claim that greater reproductive health care would greatly reduce the mortality rate for Filipino mothers, which increased from 162 per 100,000 live births in 2009 to 221 in 2011.
While the Church tried hard to present the programme as a top-down population control programme on the part of the state, the pro-RH forces argued successfully that a decline in the fertility rate at the macro level would be an "incidental result" of voluntary family planning at the micro level–though a very important incidental result, since failure in the near future to reduce the country's currently high Total Fertility Rate (TFR) of 3.1 would guarantee a population of some 200-250 million or more at the end of the century, which most economists and ecologists agreed would be unsustainable.
In the end, the Church hierarchy and its allies were reduced to becoming, like their counterparts in the climate front, denialists—that is, denying flat-out the results of surveys, medical statistics, and demographic calculations. Or they were cornered into making fallacious arguments such as the claim the RH bill was unconstitutional because it was anti-life, uttering silly statements like the classic assertion of one congressman that "contraception is abortion", or trotting out outrageous remarks like that of Lipa Archbishop Ramon Arguelles, who compared President Benigno Aquino III to the shooter Adam Lanza, who massacred 27 children and adults in Newtown, Connecticut.
Two steps forward, one step back
The events in India and the Philippines are steps forward in the struggle against gender oppression and for women's rights. Yet that the road ahead promises no easy struggle for women is underlined by recent developments in the African country of Swaziland, where, according to a Agence France Presse report, police "have banned women from wearing miniskirts and midriff-revealing tops, saying they provoke rape".
The article goes on to quote police spokeswoman Wendy Hleta as saying, "The act of the rapist is made easy, because it would be easy to remove the half-cloth worn by women." Further, according to Hleta, "women wearing revealing clothing were responsible for assaults or rapes committed against them".
Swaziland may have gone farther than other societies in banning what its ultra-conservative authorities regard as unacceptable women's wear. But the blaming-the-victim syndrome they exhibit is still far too common an attitude among men, whether in the United States, India, Africa, Europe, or Latin America.
More broadly, misogynist and patriarchal attitudes are not only resisting stubbornly. In many societies, they are making a comeback.
Witness recent developments in Egypt, formerly one of the Arab world's most secular societies, where Islamists in power are pushing hard, as in Iran, to resubordinate women to traditional gender roles.
Women throughout the world are on the march, but the struggle against sexual oppression and gender rights will continue to be a difficult one, where significant steps forward will be matched by occasional steps back.

NYT has second thoughts about "Sharia smear" on Obama
Thank you, Clark Hoyt.

In his Public Editor column on Sunday, Hoyt called it "a single, extreme point of view" and said the NYT should not simply publish opinion pieces based on patently false facts. We blogged about this last week when a leading Muslim scholar refuted Luttwak's article. Luttwak is a military historian and conservative analyst of strategic issues who has advised the U.S. military, National Security Council and State Department. He lists his fields of expertise as "geoeconomics, strategy and national strategies and military policies" but not Islam.

Iraq state TV to broadcast Sunni and Shi'ite Friday prayers
Iraq's state television channel Iraqiya plans to broadcast Friday prayers from both Shi'ite and Sunni mosques, a novelty in a country where until now Islamic services were only shown on sectarian channels. That kept the two neatly separate. Rather than take either side, Iraqiya avoided broadcasting Friday prayers after the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. But it began today with a live transmission from the Sunni Umm al-Qura mosque in Baghdad.

State Police: 10 percent increase in financial crimes
Staff Report
The Illinois State Police (ISP) — Zone 2 Investigations saw a 10 percent increase in financial crimes they investigated in 2012.
Last year, the ISP opened 46 cases involving potential financial crimes, up from 41 in 2011.
For the first month of 2013, the ISP already opened seven cases and has made three arrests.
"A large number of cases we investigate involve allegations of embezzlement from nonprofits or small businesses," said Captain Jim Winters of the ISP. "Of those cases, a majority are instances where volunteers at nonprofits or employees at small businesses take advantage of their access to financial assets."
Winters added that companies are more easily taken advantage of when they lack internal controls to regulate expenditures or do not have systems in place to review and audit their finances.
While some investigations are brought to prosecution and restitution is made, many result in financial losses that are never recovered.
Some of the measures suggested to minimize financial theft include the following:
• Minimizing or eliminating debit or credit cards for non-profits;
• If debit or credit cards are used, requiring original receipts for purchases to be submitted for review and retention;
• Requirement of two signatures on checks over a specified dollar amount;
• Controlled access to petty cash funds;
• Avoid situations where a sole individual is entrusted with all financial authority;
• Establishing a voucher system for nonprofits so all expenses fall under an approval/review policy;
• Monthly reconciliation of bank statements and financial review; and
• Yearly audits.
Winters also warned that many small businesses and nonprofits are taken advantage of financially because people are uncomfortable questioning employees who may be friends or family members.
"Quite a few of the financial crimes we investigate could have been avoided if those with spending authority were regulated by systems that afford protection of financial assets," Winters said. "It's also important for people not to have blind faith in those, including family and friends, who are entrusted with the finances of an organization or business."
