War Watch: October Deadliest Month for Americans in Afghanistan
• Taliban gunmen attacked a guest house in central Kabul this morning, killing six U.N. employees, one of whom was an American security guard. (New York Times, LA Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, BBC)
• On Tuesday, eight American soldiers died and an undisclosed number were wounded in "multiple, complex" bomb attacks. Following the helicopter crashes Monday, the American death toll for October now stands at 55, the highest since the American invasion eight years ago. (AP, New York Times, Washington Post, BBC)
• The bloody week in Afghanistan isn't making President Obama's decision about a new strategy in the theater any easier. Anonymous sources told ABC News that Obama will reach a decision between November 7—the day of the runoff election—and November 11. (ABC News, New York Times, Reuters)• President Hamid Karzai's brother, Ahmed Wali Karzai, has long been a suspected actor in Afghanistan's booming opium trade. The New York Times reported today that he has received regular payments from the C.I.A. for "much of the past eight years."
• Meanwhile, in Pakistan, a car bomb went off in a market in the northwestern city of Peshawar killing at least 90 people, shortly after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived in the region. (Wall Street Journal, BBC)
• If you're looking for a civilian's perspective of the war, read Alissa Rubin's piece, "Kabul, Echoes of Saigon" over at nytimes.com's At War blog. Or the piece in Foreign Policy by the only two Westerners living on their own in the restive southern city of Kandahar, the Taliban's spiritual base, titled "See You Soon, If We're Still Alive."

Queens Park Rangers boss Harry Redknapp has confirmed his interest in signing West Ham striker Carlton Cole.
Cole's contract at Upton Park expires later this month and as yet there has been no news on whether the deal will be extended or not.
West Ham must now make a decision on Cole's future or risk losing the player for nothing when his deal expires after the clash with Newcastle on January 18th.
Redknapp is keen to bolster his attacking options in January and he is an admirer of former Chelsea man Cole.
"It's difficult as he belongs to West Ham still," said Redknapp.
"Sam Allardyce has his own problems with injuries and everything there.
"Carlton is a good player and I like him. He is one of many players we are looking at but if West Ham decide to keep him it can't happen."

In the final weeks of the Republican primary for the 15th state Senate district, Forest Hills attorney Juan Reyes, backed by the Queens GOP leadership, whacked his opponent, Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Ozone Park), for being supported by the State Republicans, for often voting against the wishes of his party and even for being a devout Catholic with gay friends.
In the end, none of it appeared to have worked. If anything, it might have backfired.
When the results trickled in Thursday night, it was Ulrich who walked into his election night celebration at Roma View catering hall in Howard Beach to cheers, applause and flash bulbs.
According to results posted by the Associated Press, Ulrich defeated Reyes 70 percent to 30 percent — a margin of over 1,500 votes — to win the GOP nomination to take on two-term incumbent Democratic Sen. Joe Addabbo Jr. in the newly reconfigured 15th state Senate District in November.
In the southern part of the district, which Ulrich represents in the City Council, the margins were even more astronomical for him.
Breezy Point, a GOP stronghold, gave Ulrich 97 percent of their vote. He won 96 percent in Broad Channel and 90 percent in his home neighborhood of Ozone Park. The district also includes much of Central Queens including Glendale, Middle Village, Maspeth and Forest Hills Gardens as well as Kew Gardens Hills and Far Rockway, home to a large number of Orthodox Jewish voters. The new district leans more Republican that the old one, which Addabbo wrestled out of the hands of longtime GOP state Sen. Serphin Maltese in 2008 and was reelected to in 2010.
Speaking to a crowd of staff, friends and supporters that included fellow Councilman and Congressional candidate Dan Halloran, former Councilman Tom Ognibene and other borough GOP figures who gathered at Roma View, Ulrich said his primary victory will give his campaign against Addabbo momentum going into November.
"Joe is a good guy, but I can offer better representation," he said.
Ulrich criticized Addabbo for being a reliable party-line vote in albany and touted his independence, noting his primary challenge is an example of how he does not often toe the party line.
"Joe is strictly a party line guy. I have an independent record," Ulrich said. "Look no further than the fact I had to face a primary."
He also criticized Reyes' campaign and the nasty tone the primary took in the final days.
"My opponent has run a campaign his children will not be proud of," he said.
Mailers delivered to GOP voters in the district in the last week of the campaign included one where Ulrich was dressed with Soviet-style medals aimed to liken the Senate GOP leadership's support of Ulrich to Soviet-style government. Several Ulrich campaign operative said the mailer backfired on Reyes among undecided GOP voters of Eastern European descent in Rego Park, Forest Hills and Kew Gardens Hills, areas Reyes had been courting. Other mailers criticized Ulrich for hiring gay staffers and having lunch with gay colleagues. A final mailer that went to voters just before the election featured a four-page allegedly handwritten note from Reyes' wife Meaghan slamming Ulrich for his ties to John Haggerty, a GOP campaign operative convicted of stealing funds from Mayor Bloomberg's 2009 campaign.
Ulrich's victory is a blow to the Queens Republican leadership and Chairman Phil Ragusa, who has had a long frosty relationship with Ulrich. Last fall, Ulrich supported Ognibene in his ill-fated attempt to dethrone Ragusa as head of the borough's GOP. At Ulrich's party Thursday night, numerous GOP officials loyal to Ognibene were present.
A number of Republican insiders believe Ulrich's victory further weakens Ragusa's hold on the party and if Ulrich defeats Addabbo in November, it could propel him into a position to be able to help Ognibene win control. With the imminent retirement of Rep. Bob Turner (R-Middle Village), Ulrich will likely become the highest ranking GOP official in the borough if he does defeat Addabbo.
Ulrich also faced a primary on the Independence Party line, against Joseph Tiraco of Rego Park, a member of the Independence Party who also sought the party's line in the 6th Congressional District in June. Only 98 voters were cast ballots for that primary. Ulrich defeated Tiraco 82 votes to 16. He also has secured the Conservative Party line.

Page Views for Print Magazines?
Buried in celebrity media report, a new metric.
DeSilva + Phillips, the New York-based media banking firm, published a report yesterday on the state of celebrity media. If you're in the business of celebrity media—particularly the print side—it's a must read. Spoiler alert: The outlook is, uh, not so good.
You can read FOLIO:'s full synopsis of D+P's report here.
But here's one interesting point I didn't include in the write-up. On page 12, Ken Sonenclar, the author of the report, makes an interesting argument—and possibly invents a new metric–for celebrity magazine publishers wrestling over the ad dollars fleeing print for the Web:
"Celebrity magazines offer a degree of reach that even the dominant websites should envy. The best way to view this is via the language of the Web, where many celebrity magazine "page views" dwarf web page views. Consider US Weekly. In a four-issue month, the magazine will publish 384 pages (96 pages/issue). Taking the magazine's recent average circulation of 1.9 million, and assuming a conservative pass-along multiplier of three, yields in excess of 2 billion page views for US Weekly per month. That is seven times the page views of TMZ, the Web site with the most page views."
Calculating page views for print magazines. Did we just invent a new, viable metric here? Or is it merely the last (faint) gasps of desperation for a dying medium?

Ron Paul Trounces Perry in Texas pollSubmitted by ODell Equip on Wed, 08/17/2011 - 17:02
"Fresh on the heels of his well-received second placing in the Ames straw poll on Saturday, Ron Paul has trounced so-called "frontrunner" Rick Perry in a presidential survey of voters in both candidate's home state of Texas.
Rick Perry
"Answering the question, "If the Texas Republican primary were held today, which presidential candidate would you be most likely to vote for?" 22 percent of those polled selected Mr. Paul. Just 17 percent of respondents voted in favor of Mr. Perry," reports the State Column.
The survey was conducted by Azimuth Research Group."
I just sent the link to Drudge, maybe he will be good enough to post a Ron Paul story a day.

text: 5 Stunnerbosseye | 01/09/2009 | See all bosseye's reviews (62)Top 100 Games Reviewer What a game. Frankly, this is stunning stuff in so many ways - whilst there is the odd issue and area that lets the side down, it seems churlish to give anything less than 5 stars when the core experience is this good.The entire game oozes atmosphere and class and Rocksteady have absolutely nailed the darkly comic world of Arkham Asylum, with its list of utterly insane and memorable inmates - this is how a Batman game should be, it takes everything that's good from the comics and works it into the game in seamless fashion, with Batman himself perfectly portrayed as the gadget toting uber good guy. Atmosphere is everything and right from the word go, you're sucked neatly into the world of the Asylum - a combination of truly gorgeous visuals, perfectly pitched and well scripted (and often amusing) story, superb voice acting and some impeccable game design. Visually it's a stunner, with superb texturing and lighting, with some wonderful character models on display. The attention to detail in the environment is epic, with all manner of incidental finds that make it well worth exploring each area and helps flesh out the characters and world to a high degree - inmate interview tapes, Riddler Challenges (some of which are real head scratchers), it's a world you'll really connect with. With the Joker running the Asylum, his dastardly plan is carefully revealed bit by bit and your progress around the asylum carefully plotted and planned with unreachable areas only accessible once the story unlocks a specific gadget. And what gadgets! Everythings here, batarangs, batclaw, explosive gel - all can be used and combined to excellent free roaming effect to make each badguy encounter something special. Every so often the world opens up into a large area with roaming badguys to take out, and the game becomes a particularly enjoyable stealth exercise as you flit from gargoyle to gargoyle, stringing up bad guys one by one, picking them off as the panic rises until you swoop down in terrifying fashion to take out the last one. Its hugely satisfying stuff and the design is such that every encounter with the Joker's goons makes you feel utterly superior - they scuttle around in terrified disarray as you take them down one by one, in almost contemptuous fashion.At those times when you're forced to fight, even then you're a complete badass, dishing out justice in some of the finest and most stylish brawling ever. Its entirely possible to take out 10 bad guys without taking a hit, flipping and punching, blocking and dodging. The animation system is absolutely flawless, with Batman neatly countering one goon, to leap catlike into the fray with another. Its balletic, beautiful stuff. Laying the smackdown on 10 guys (each knock out done in glorious slow mo accompanied by suitably violent sound effects) ending in the caped crusader dusting himself off - another day at the office - truly this is the epitome of 'cool'. Theres some hugely clever stuff going on with the design, and multiple sequences with the Scarecrow which start with some player confusion, but lead neatly onto nightmarish and random sequences which challenge everything you expect. The alternate vison mode 'detective mode' is a neat touch, although the actual puzzle solving is generally nothing to get excited about, reducing most sleuthing to simple follow the dots trail pounding. Occasional repetition sets in as you're forced periodically to back track around the island, but generally this is a game that's immensely hard to fault. An absolutely essential purchase, it's a wonderful polished, dark, funny, gorgeous, intelligent experience.

President Barack Obama has appointed General Electric Chairman Jeff
Immelt to head his commission on job creation.
In light of this it's interesting that GE is planning to move its 115 year old
X-ray division from Waukesha, Wisconsin, to China. In addition to moving
the headquarters to Beijing, GE will invest 2 billion in China and train more
than 65 Chinese engineers while also creating 6 research centers. This is the
same company that employs more people oversees than it does in the U.S.,
earned 5.1 billion dollars in the U.S. last year and paid no taxes.
Vic also reported that China has been dumping its holding of U.S. treasuries
as it tries to get out of its bad investments in the dollar. In order to get rid
of these holdings, they are exchanging the American dollars they hold for
pieces of America. For example, the Chinese have also purchased 50 square
miles of Idaho just south of Boise in order to construct a planned, self-
sustaining city that will include manufacturing facilities, warehouses, retail
centers and large numbers of homes for Chinese workers.
Other points of interest include:
-- Vice President Biden's controversial comments concerning China's one-
child policy.
--As many as 50 million Chinese people could be leaving in the foreseeable
future with several million headed for the U.S. to find work.
--A U.S. super-computer laboratory engaged in classified military research
concluded a recent deal involving Chinese made components. The deal has
Congress concerned about potential electronic espionage.

As of Monday, February 25, 2013
© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Al Horford continued his torrid streak with 23 points and a career-high-tying 22 rebounds, leading the Atlanta Hawks to a 114-103 victory over the Detroit Pistons at The Palace on Monday.
Horford, who was averaging 24.2 points and 10 rebounds over the previous five games, notched his second career 20-20 game as Atlanta (32-23) won for the fifth time in six games. Josh Smith also pumped in 23 points, and Jeff Teague added 20 with 12 assists for the Hawks, who are 2-0 on their six-game road trip.
Atlanta shot 50.6 percent and made 31 assists on 40 baskets.
Rodney Stuckey's 22 points topped Detroit (22-37), which has lost four of five games since the All-Star break. Jonas Jerebko had a season-high 21 points, and Greg Monroe contributed 15 points, eight rebounds and five assists.
Kyle Korver's 3-pointer with 9:23 remaining in the third gave the Hawks a 68-53 lead and prompted Pistons coach Lawrence Frank to call a timeout. He signaled for another one after Horford hit a baseline jumper to make it 74-58.
The breaks failed to stop the onslaught, as Smith made a layup and a 25-foot 3-pointer to extend the Hawks' lead to 24. Atlanta stretched its edge to 26 before Detroit cut it down to 88-70 by the quarter's end.
Detroit never got closer than the final margin.
Horford had 13 points and 13 rebounds by halftime as the Hawks cruised to a 61-51 lead. Horford got plenty of help from Teague, who racked up 14 points and five assists before the break. Stuckey and Monroe kept the Pistons within striking distance by combining for 26 first-half points.
Korver extended his streak of making at least one 3-pointer to 49 games, the longest in Hawks history.
NOTES: Detroit second-year guard Brandon Knight missed his third straight game with a hyperextended right knee. He was injured Wednesday at Charlotte. Backup point guard Will Bynum sat out because of a one-game league suspension for striking Indiana's Tyler Hansbrough in the midsection on Saturday. … Pistons guard Jose Calderon has a 4.31 assists-to-turnover ratio, ranking him second in the NBA behind the Los Angeles Clippers' Chris Paul (4.36). … The Pistons rank 15th in the league in both offensive and defensive field-goal percentage. … Atlanta has assists on 65 percent of its made baskets this season, a league high. … The Hawks have used 18 different lineups this season and the Pistons have used just five. … Horford's recent hot streak boosted his season averages to 16.7 points and 9.7 rebounds entering Monday's game. "He's really looking for his shot," Hawks coach Larry Drew said of the center. "He's in a pretty good rhythm right now, and defensively, he's very active. When he's that active on both ends of the floor, he's fun to coach and he's fun to watch."

Black Screen after "starting windows" tried everything, please help.
Hello all and firstly; good morning!
This is my problem and things that I have tried.
(Windows 7 64bit Ultimate)
After using my PC as an alarm as I miss placed my phone it simply black screens after boot "starting windows".
I used a program called "Perfect Alarm" - I did notice some sort of error upon waking but I was in a rush to get to work so just closed the error and shut down my PC normally.
Getting home from work and switching my PC on I was greeted by a black screen and cursor after "starting windows". Nothing responds. Can't Ctrl-Alt-Del, can't right click, multiple shortcuts all do not work.
I tried safe mode (all safe modes) same story but a bigger cursor
I tried switching my screens around/unplugging 1/taking all ram out but 1 stick (tried multiple sticks), unplugged DVD drive, unplugged speakers no luck
I tried leaving it for hours, no luck
Many Many restarts / Leaving PSU off for a few minutes, no luck
Returned everything to Failsafe defaults in Bio's (machine is overclocked), no luck
F8 - All viable options. Nothing solves the issue. System restore etc
Put the installation disk in, set all 3 boots to "CD-ROM" and "Boot menu" to CD ROM. Brings up "booting from CD" waits a few seconds and then proceeds to just ask me if I would like to start windows normally/safe mode etc.
Tried installing Linux with a (REALLY OLD) disk. tried a few disks but got seemingly unrealated errors. Guessing down to old sctrached up disks.
Made a "recdisc" from my mates PC who also has "Windows 7 64bit Ultimate" - This time the PC asks me to press any key to proceed. Do so and try the first option. It just repeatedly tells me "If you have recently attached an external device please remove it" (something like this), so I go to plan B. System restore. I have 3 dates I can restore from.
Tried all restore dates with same issue and also after each restore point tried the first option again (sorry I forget the name.. "system recovery"?) with the same result "please unplug any recently attached etc etc".
MY LAST HOPE (trying tonight)
I have used a friends laptop to make a install disk for an extremely lightweight OS that he recommended.
Install this.
Transfer all data I need to a external 1TB hard drive
Format my 1TB Hard drive
Re-install Windows
Transfer the data back
Can anyone suggest anything else I can try before taking this last pretty drastic step? (that may not work)
The only things I know happened before this started are.
1. Windows Update
2. Updated Winamp to latest version
3. Used "perfect alarm" to wake me up
Sorry for the huge wall of text, I tried to break it up as much as possible for easy reading.

Right Sorry for the Delay!
Basically non of this worked, in the end I noticed that the windows DVD was showing up as a blank disk..... I unplugged it, plugged my old one in, formatted my hard drive and started again.
I have left the DVD drive unplugged for the moment. I had an issue a few years back where the guy in the shop said to me after fixing my old pc that the probloem had been caused by a corrupted DVD drive and not to plug it back in.... This sounded like BS at the time but to be fair I didnt plug it back in and everything was fine.
This is a brandnew Sony drive. Could it have caused the error and if so .... how? I don't quite understand how an optical drive could do this

Lamborghini has made no secret of the fact that it plans to officially unveil a new high-performance crossover at the upcoming 2012 Beijing Motor Show. We now have our first idea of what the vehicle looks like thanks to the company's invitation to the show.
The invite shows a line drawing of the crossover's profile, though the text mentions no details about the beast. Rumors are already swirling, with reports indicating that the vehicle will be called the Urus when it debuts. As you may recall, Lamborghini recently trademarked Deimos as well.
What will the high-riding Lamborghini bring to the table? Details are scarce so far, though a tweaked version of the same V10 that feeds the Gallardo may wind up behind the headlights. With around 584 horsepower and an MSRP of around $200,000, the machine will be exclusive no matter what it's called.

John F. Kennedy and PT Boat 59
Today's post is written by archivist Dr. Greg Bradsher.
When one thinks about President Kennedy's naval career in World War II, what most often comes to mind is his command of Motor Torpedo Boat PT-109.
Thanks to the 1963 movie PT 109, adapted from the 1961 book PT 109: John F. Kennedy in World War II by Robert J. Donovan, Kennedy's wartime exploits with PT-109 were well-publicized and became part of the Kennedy legend (see Stephen Plotkins's "Sixty Years Later, the Story of PT-109 Still Captivates" in the summer 2003 issue of Prologue.)
What few people realize is that after the loss of PT-109, Kennedy was given command of another boat: PT-59. Actually, the last scene in the movie PT 109 shows Kennedy and this boat sailing off into the sunset to begin new adventures on his path to the White House.
The story of Kennedy and PT-59 begins on the morning of August 2, 1943, in the Solomon Islands, when PT-109. Lt. (jg) John F. Kennedy, USNR, was in command when PT-109 was rammed by a Japanese destroyer and sunk. Kennedy and the surviving crew members were rescued … [ Read all ]

An Orphan of the Holocaust
His parents were victims of the Nazis when he was only four, and he and his uncle spent two years hiding in the forests of Poland, waiting until the end of World War II.
But the ordeal of Michael Pupa was far from over. He became a "displaced person," or DP, moving from one DP camp to another until 1951, when Michael, by then 12, and his cousin were flown to the United States and sent to a home for refugee children, then to foster homes in Cleveland.
Michael Pupa's story does have a happy ending, and it is told in a new exhibit that opens at the National Archives on Friday, June 15, called "Attachments: Faces and Stories from America's Gates."
Curator Bruce Bustard says the exhibit draws from millions of immigration case files in the National Archives holdings to tell a few of these stories from the 1880s through World War II.
"It also explores the attachment of immigrants to family and community and the attachment of government organizations to immigration laws that reflected certain beliefs about immigrants and citizenship," he says. "These are dramatic tales of joy and disappointment, opportunity and discrimination, deceit and honesty."
Of the individuals chosen randomly to be included in the exhibit, only Michael Pupa is alive, and he and his family … [ Read all ]

More Hitler art albums discovered
This morning in Dallas, TX, the Archivist of the United States David S. Ferriero, Senior Archivist Greg Bradsher, and President of the Monuments Men Foundation Robert M. Edsel announced the discovery of two original albums of photographs of paintings and furniture looted by the Nazis.
The Monuments Men Foundation will donate these albums, which have been in private hands since the end of World War II, to the National Archives.
These albums were created by a special Nazi task force, the Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg (ERR), to document the systematic looting of Europe by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. The ERR was the main Nazi agency engaged in the theft of cultural treasures in Nazi-occupied countries.
"The Foundation often receives calls from veterans and their heirs, who don't know the importance of items they may have picked up during their service, or aren't aware that anyone is looking for the items," Edsel said. "These albums are just the tip of the iceberg for hundreds of thousands of cultural items still missing since World War II."
In the closing days of World War II, U.S. soldiers entered Adolf Hitler's home in the Bavarian Alps. Many picked up souvenirs to prove they had been inside the Berghof.

Unbreakable: Remembering the Code Talkers
Keith Hill passed away yesterday at the age of 87. He was president of the Navajo Code Talkers Association and Congressional Silver Medal recipient. At 17, he joined the Navajo Code Talkers, a group of men who used their Native American language to communicate and coordinate the movements of Marines in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Hill started with the U .S. Marine Corps in December of 1943, and he fought at the Marshall Islands, Sai Pan, and Iwo Jima. Over 400 over Navajo Code Talkers also served.
Encryption could be a complicated and time-consuming task. A quicker and more secure means was needed.
Philip Johnston, the son of a missionary, had presented the idea of Navajo speakers to the Marines. He was a World War I vet who knew that the military was looking for a quick and secure way to send messages. Using speakers of a language that few outsiders ever heard—and that fewer than 30 outsiders spoke—seemed like a plausible solution.
Why Navajos? There were very, very few speakers of the Navajo language outside the tribe, with exception of a limited number of scholars and missionaries (Johnston estimated 28 people), so it was unlikely anyone else would recognize the langauge and be able to translate it. Even among other Indian tribals, the language was considered different.… [ Read all ]

What's Cooking Wednesday: Top Ten Food Records of 2011
As 2011 draws to a close, so does our exhibit "What's Cooking, Uncle Sam?" which will end on January 3, 2012.
It's been a great year for food here at the National Archives. We've had amazing guests come and speak, including Chef José Andrés, our neighbor and Chief Culinary Adviser for the exhibit; Chef Roland Mesnier, former White House pastry chef; Diana Kennedy, guru of Mexican food; Ann Harvey Yonkers, co-director of FRESHFARM markets; Jessica B. Harris, author of High on the Hog; and George Motz, author of Hamburger America.
And of course, we've been writing about food-related records in the National Archives almost every Wednesday since the exhibit opened. We thought it would be fun to look back at the Top Ten Food Records in honor of this exhibit. Since we couldn't include all of the records, we chose the ones that were most striking, strange, or popular.
Here's our Top Ten list of memorable food records!
TEN: My coworker was constantly amused by this label for "Grains of Health," which is profuse in its praise but vague in its description of these grains might actually be. Her favorite line: "It is so prepared that the strongest and the most delicate person may drink it at the same table."

Helping Your Local Economy
You know about Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving when people line up outside the big department stores and discount stores in the middle of the night to buy cheap Christmas presents. Black Friday is a big day for retailers, but I don't think it's nearly as important as Small Business Saturday. That's because small business is the heart and soul of our economy.

More times than not, the consequences of such are harmful and slanted to a greedy few. Such is the case with "Question 7" appearing on the Maryland ballot on November 6.

As times change, credit unions have been able to roll with the punches. We've been able to survive recessions, interest rate cycles, leasing, zero percent financing, and regulatory changes too numerous to mention. In fact, more than just survive, we've been able to thrive and grow.
One thing hasn't changed, however. As I look at the future of credit unions, I don't believe we can survive long-term without continued unity and cooperation — the very things that have made our past successes possible.
I'm a 25-year credit union veteran. Over the years as my knowledge level, responsibilities and commitment to what we do as credit unions has grown, one thing that has always struck me and meant the most to me is the willingness of credit unions to help one another.
We've all been there. Whether at a conference, a chapter meeting, a vendor summit or a simple telephone conference call, our industry has a sprit of cooperation and information sharing second to none. It is imperative that it continues.
Credit unions have grown in assets, offer more programs and services and face far more day-to-day competition today than ever before. In today's business environment, it would be very easy to get so absorbed in the operations of our individual institutions that we neglect to make time for outside meetings.
But if you're an "old timer" like I am, think back to the period of your greatest professional growth, and what helped make it possible. What did it mean to you when a high level CEO or management staff person took time to introduce themselves and discuss with you the importance of the credit union ideals? These were people that you might have considered unapproachable because of their experience and status — yet once a relationship was established, you were fortunate enough to have found a career-long resource.
I encourage credit union leaders of all levels of responsibility to continue to be that resource and mentor to our future leaders. Even credit union veterans never outgrow the benefits of sharing information and exchanging ideas with our peers. And there's no better way to gain access to networking opportunities with your credit union colleagues than participation in the MCUL.
Our credit union has been a member of the MCUL and CUNA throughout its history. We haven't always agreed with the leaders of these organizations on issues or solutions, but we have been and will remain supporters. It's true that as our credit union and our in-house expertise have grown, we have less and less of a need for one-on-one support, information or advice from our state and national trade associations. However, I look at these two organizations as the glue that holds together our past, our present, and our future.
That future depends in large part on the strong legislative and regulatory advocacy provided by the MCUL and CUNA. It's essential that we have an influential voice in Lansing and Washington, and no single credit union can match what our League and CUNA provide us in this respect.
Consider what this unity accomplishes for us: The fund-raising and support of credit union-friendly politicians… the organization of grassroots lobbying meetings to paint the American Bankers Association's fiction with credit union facts…a cooperative advertising program organized to educate our members and consumers on credit union uniqueness and the advantages of credit union membership…and the constant communication and calls to action that keep credit unions of all sizes informed and ready to act in concert.
Certainly, the continuing attacks on credit unions by the banking industry demonstrate to me the value of unity and membership in the MCUL and CUNA, and the vital importance of strong and effective legislative advocacy.
As this year draws to a close, I encourage all Michigan credit unions to commit their support to membership and participation in the MCUL in 2006. Let's join hands and present one united front of cooperation and common purpose, for the sake of our credit unions and the future of the credit union movement. Our members — and Michigan consumers — are counting on it!

A News View
When I first started in news, I realized we tend to have a warped perspective of the world. Maybe it's the odd hours, maybe it's the fast pace or maybe it's the being immersed in the bad news. Whatever the reason when I'm in a conversation with a non-newsie and the name of a town or community is brought up, my mind goes to what story I was there to cover. Most of the time it's bad; a fire, flood or murder. Sometimes there are good stories; political activism, an inspiring sports team or just a quirky person doing something interesting. Either way, I'm certain it's not how most people view the world. If you're interested in testing this theory, find a person who works in news and ask them what they know about your hometown.
I wanted to find a way to convey just how interesting and diverse a life in news is, so after doing a story about a guy who created a cool map…I decided to make my own. It's a Google map that allows me to place markers at the locations I've found myself. Each icon has a description of the story I was there to cover and sometimes my thoughts and reactions to the story or the community. Some icons include pictures or video from the scene.
While there are a lot of bad stories I've had to cover, each one has taken me to a different part of Oklahoma. I've tried to include positive experiences even with the most negative of stories. I have not included every story I've covered since arriving in Oklahoma three years ago, but I've tried to hit every town I have visited. I will continue to update this map as I travel to new locations and tell new stories.
To view the map use the embedded link below. You can also find a more permanent location on the "Phil's Map" page, or go to the "Pages" tab at the top of your screen. It is important to note that the thoughts and views expressed in the icons are my own and do not represent the staff or management of any station or employer.

Let it Snow!
It was snow day. Already into spring, but there was a winter storm on the horizon. Doomsday predictions, rampant speculation from all sorts of media. We were all in the afternoon news meeting trying to decide what stories to cover for the day. Each reporter trying to pitch a story interesting enough to keep us out of a live shot in the cold weather telling people how cold it is outside. Not that we reporters don't love live shots, it's just we've all done weather stories and know if you pitch a story that's good enough someone else will end up being cold for the night. Of course when it's spring and there's snow in the forecast, it didn't matter what any of us came up with…we were all doing a weather story.
The most interesting idea of the day was a discussion we got into when someone pitched the idea of are people buying the forecast? Weather had been a big topic all week and we had seen predictions from anywhere from 12″ to 2″ in the metro…some people even predicting roads would be shut down in the city because of the impending doom. Beware the White Death screamed the billboards. Tie a rope from the barn to the house so you can feed the animals during the blizzard. OK, so maybe that's a little over the top and a bit exaggerated, but it was a little silly at times. I think we've all seen snow forecasts in Oklahoma that were big and scary and then turned out to be nothing. So thus was born the idea that became my assignment.
It was decided that I would be the one to go out and find the snow skeptics. Since I was one of the biggest skeptics, it seemed only fitting. Plus for those who don't know me…I sometimes smart off about things…and my sarcastic humor lended itself to this story quite nicely.
In the end…the forecasts were partly correct. Parts of NW Oklahoma saw up to two feet of snow, but it dried up just before hitting the metro. Officially, Oklahoma City got an inch of snow…I would call it a trace of snow at my house, but then again, almost all of it had melted by the time I woke up and went to work. The snow picked back up when the storm moved out of OKC and I ended up following the storm east for my Saturday story and actually saw a lot of snow that we were lucky to have avoided in the metro.

Greetings, fellow bloggers. Let's take a look at food portions and portion control. I remember a decade or more ago when the new food fad was to eat low fat foods.
I'm human like everyone else and as humans we have a tendency to look for the quick and easy way out. When it comes to food (which is near and dear to our hearts), we all want that magic diet or pill that will dissolve away the fat with little or no behavioral change on our part. During the low fat diet craze, I discovered that bagels were a low fat food and so that meant I could eat an unlimited amount and lose weight, right? Wrong!
A bagel is not just a bagel, the calories count. In fact, in any weight loss program, the bottom line is how many calories you take in and how many you use (exercise). Simply, to lose weight you need to eat fewer calories.
During the low fat diet craze, bread maker machines became popular. During the bread maker phase of my life, I was introduced to carbohydrates and carbohydrate counting. It was an eye opener to find out that one serving of a carbohydrate was equivalent to 15 grams of carbohydrate. A 1500 calorie diet provides 4 carbohydrate servings per meal or 60 grams per meal.
I also discovered that one ounce of bread by weight is equal to one carbohydrate serving. One slice of my homemade bread weighed four ounces and was equal to four carbohydrate servings or 60 grams of carbohydrate and approximately 340 calories. Just add butter, cream cheese or jam and you could have a quarter of your daily caloric intake if you're on a 1500 calorie a day meal plan.
Other carbohydrate food items I've become more aware of are rice and pasta. A carbohydrate serving of rice or pasta is 1/3 cup, so 1 cup of either pasta or rice is 45 grams of carbohydrate or 3 carbohydrate servings. It's not that we can't have these foods, but we need to pay attention to the serving size, because carbohydrate grams and calories can add up quickly. I call these foods carbohydrate dense.
One way I estimate the portion sizes of pasta dishes is by first measuring them in a measuring cup, and then dumping them on a plate for better observation. Another tip is to compare the serving size to your fist. A general rule is, an average woman's fist is equal to 1 cup portion size and an average man's fist is equal to 1 2/3 cup portion size.
Carbohydrate estimating of portions:
Dig out your food scale and measuring cups and practice portion sizing.
Have a good week.

A willing heart adds feather to the heel, And makes the clown a winged Mercury.Joanna Baillie

Course Syllabus
Create Your Official Course Syllabus
For each course you teach, you must develop and maintain a current course syllabus. The syllabus is the official document for a course. It is shared with students and is a permanent part of the instructional archives of the College. In the event of litigation, it may even become a legal document. The syllabus must be handed out to students no later than the second meeting of the class.
For your students' convenience and for your time management it is recommended that you put your syllabus online. You can do this through email or by using Canvas, the College's Learning Management System. Contact the Faculty Technology Center for more information.
The syllabus must contain the following:
Be sure to provide a copy of your syllabus to your school office. Copies will be kept on file and a copy will be submitted to the Provost's Office. If changes occur, you must submit a current syllabus to your school office unless your syllabus is on-line; then just submit a final hard copy to your school office at the end of the semester.
If it would help you to see syllabi from other instructors of the course before you develop your own, ask your program chair or the staff in the school office for copies.
Note: It is possible to change your syllabus during the term. However, any changes in requirements, grading criteria, attendance policy, etc. should be carefully considered, discussed with your program chair or dean, and given to every student in writing.

Denise Woodford joined the CVTC faculty in 2007 with solid experience in the business world, but no background as a classroom instructor. She took to the change in her professional life with enthusiasm, fell in love with it, and has already earned a top honor for her teaching in the Business Technology program.Woodford has been named the winner of the 2012 Domer New Faculty Teaching Award, which recognizes a faculty member for distinguished performance in the first two years as a full-time instructor at CVTC.Woodford came to CVTC with 13 years of experience as an operations manager for a corporate chain in the Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota region, and as a small business owner herself. She started as an adjunct faculty member at CVTC before becoming full-time in 2010.In addition to her work as a classroom teacher, Woodford has an important role as a faculty support specialist. The past three years, she presented to adjunct faculty about transitioning to the classroom. In November 2011 she took a lead role in the implementation of Edvance360, the platform for CVTC's online instruction programs. Woodford also re-wrote the curriculum for the courses faculty members take to assist them in developing and delivering quality online instruction.Such immersion into the field of education may have been new for Woodford, but it has been an experience she has found deeply rewarding."It gives me purpose," she said. "It's that sense of making a difference and having an impact. Our students are so appreciative of that positive difference you can make in their lives."Woodford recently received an e-mail from a CVTC graduate who used her as a reference and ultimately was hired for a position. The former student wrote, "I will never forget you and the impact you had."That former student isn't the only one to comment on Woodford's difference-making abilities."Wow! This woman has a natural gift for teaching," wrote one student on a survey."Denise creates a classroom harmony by balancing a calm yet energizing and uplifting instructional atmosphere," wrote another.Woodford says that kind of feedback, knowing she has made a difference for students, means a great deal to her, and shows she made the right decision in coming to CVTC.The Domer New Faculty Teaching Award is made through CVTC Foundation, Inc. , which enhances the mission and vision of CVTC by securing resources for student scholarships, staff initiatives, technology investments and other purposes.
