HP Shares Dip on Weak Forecast
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- HP (HPQ) shares dipped in after-hours action Wednessday after the Dow component came in a bit shy of Wall Street's revenue view for its fiscal first quarter and gave a weak forecast.
The troubled tech giant, which is trying to turn itself around under the leadership of new CEO Meg Whitman, reported adjusted earnings of 92 cents per share and revenue of $30 billion. Analysts were looking for earnings of 87 cents per share and revenue of $30.1 billion.
For the current period ending in April, the Dow component sees earnings of 88 to 91 cents per share, while the current average estimate of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters is for a profit of 95 cents a share.
This quarter marks the company's first full quarterly period under Whitman, who took over from former CEO Leo Apotheker last year. Whitman has already made several bold strategic moves, including nixing plans to ditch HP's PC business and opening up the company's webOS operating system to outside developers.The stock was last quoted at $28.76, down 18 cents, on volume of more than 2.2 million, according to Nasdaq.com. Earlier in the extended session, the shares went as low as $27.89. -- Written by Olivia Oran in New York.

I made this. I hope it helps with when to talk about it, and when to shut up. (Text below the fold)
Yeah, it might really be a quote by TJ Kincaid, given some corroborative evidence, but the exact wording of the quote cannot be found anywhere else on the internet presently. Better to damn him by what we can demonstrate he really said, and we can demonstrate he said something very close in 2006.
However, no, you probably shouldn't damn him for holding a terrible opinion in 2006 that he's since walked back. Not that there isn't lots else to damn him about.
Since he's an antifeminist and has expressed a number of backward views on topics like consent, I'm going to go ahead and treat this as a good place to put a fold and trigger-warning you all.

Nearly twenty years ago, when I was a sixteen year old wide-eyed innocent who believed the human race is generally good, I was victimized by someone's lies. I told the story on this blog in hopes of achieving some measure of catharsis for myself, and providing real support to others for whom the same sort of lie had damaged their lives. However, I recognized later that the reason I got off so easy actually meant many people who were really hurt would never see justice, and that this was a problem with society that I would have traded more personal pain to see righted.
Today, someone who ostensibly agrees with me on the existence of the overarching problem with society threw those lies back in my face, attacking me because I disagreed with her that transgender folks should be protected from her attacks, in an effort to poison my Google search results for my name. That someone is Cathy Brennan. And she's in totally appropriate company in the attempt at poisoning my search results — the same slander is also posted on A Voice For Men.

IMPORTANT WARNING: After signing and putting my weight behind this petition, I learned that the person who created it is a Trans-Exclusive Radical feminist (TERF). Please bear that in mind before signing, if you are trans and need to protect yourself. While I strongly agree on this one issue, I am very keenly aware that TERFs have been known to and continue to victimize trans folk, and I don't want to put any of you in harm's way.

1. Being within fucking-distance (or even groping-distance) of someone who rapes people.
Trigger warning: rape, rape culture, rape apologetics and victim-blaming
One of the major themes hit upon by Richard Dawkins' most recent attempt at creating an objective scale of relative harm, much to the detriment of everyone who's been harmed by things he's decreed as zero bad, is that he did not find his own sexual assault particularly bad insofar as he had a support network of other people who were assaulted the same way.
His own encounter was brief, and he did not find it to be particularly off-putting except for an explicit description of the "cremasteric reflex" which makes me cringe just to hear it. He does not recall whether or not he knew of any of his compatriots having been mistreated more than the once. He did not report it to the authorities, but he did report it to his friends, who supported him because they experienced it themselves.
I would very much like it if people stopped treating Dawkins as the Secular Pope. We don't want any "leaders" in this movement, and yet friends of the secular movement will bow and scrape, and foes will treat him as the King of Atheism whose decrees are handed down from on high for all to internalize. Hell, half the time we can barely decipher what he's saying. Take Twitter for example. A 140 character limit does the man no justice whatsoever — he does not wear "pithy" well.
His recent misstep is, as I'm sure you're all aware, less than pithy — he's been given plenty of time and space to bring this intellectual pursuit to full flower, and this is what he's come up with: his recent suggestion that being sexually assaulted as a child is less bad than being brought up religious, and that one shouldn't condemn sexual assault done in another era under different social mores.

Trigger warning: accounts of rape and discussion of how these rape conversations are cyclical.
Every time we go 'round the rape mulberry bush, well-meaning newcomers to the conversation make unreasonable demands of victims of a crime. It seems obvious to anyone armed only with common sense that if you are the victim of a crime, you report it to the police. So these newcomers make demands of the victims, and some long-term participants in the same conversations actually relish the opportunity to argue the same ground again. The demands almost always include that rape victims be re-victimized by submitting their life to intense scrutiny by the police and by bystanders who are reflexively defensive of the accused.

This one's gonna be REALLY long. Sorry folks. May want to skip this one altogether, in fact. It's just me mud-wrestling with someone who doesn't deserve the attention, because I have a stake in this particular fight.
Previously, I showed how AVfM, Paul Elam and Birric Forcella must absolutely know that men getting thrown in jail or otherwise having their lives ruined is a mathematically miniscule problem compared to the problem of unpunished rape, using some basic math intentionally skewed to advantage the claims of MRAs. Even with all of the tilts in their favour, I calculated that 10% of innocent men would end up in jail, while less than 5% of actual rapes would result in rapists seeing even a day of jailtime. While those numbers are appalling, the problem of 95% of rapes going unpunished is slightly larger than (the artificially inflated) 10% of innocent men going to jail.
That essentially proves AVfM are fighting the wrong demon, and they must know it. This sort of math is inescapable.
But what's more is, they're doing it because they think that feminists are fighting for 100% of rape claims to result in convictions. I know of absolutely no feminist who's ever said that a person should be damned based on a mere accusation, not even the most radical of feminists, whom I'm sure recognize that such a structure could result in them being thrown in jail by a spiteful accuser out for revenge against them. I'd personally rather have less of ANY sort of crime, either false rape claims or rapes. I'd rather justice be served as close to perfectly as humanly possible, in absence of a sky-daddy to do all the omniscient judging for you.
But you simply can't fight false rape claims by loosening the system such that it's impossible for ANY rapes to see justice. Nor, vice-versa — you can't tighten them to the point where false rape claims land innocent men in jail. The problem here is, there's precious little evidence that innocent men ARE landing in jail, and there's plenty of evidence that real rapists are walking all the damn time.
In fact, this idea that feminists are demanding that anonymous claims be believed without any corroborating evidence is the lynchpin of their entire argument — and the event that has gotten them so keen to throw me, a man who experienced a fake rape claim, under the bus is of course exactly the event you'd expect. And I'm the target for exactly the reason you'd expect.

Today I woke up to a lovely morning — the birds were singing, a cat clambered up onto the bed demanding affection from my wife and me, it was reasonably cool and not terribly humid, and I had a phone notification buried in amongst the pile of work server notifications that I'd received a pingback on my blog from A Voice for Men.
I'm really moving up in the world, building a genuine rogues' gallery of people hellbent on making my life miserable. I must be a real threat to some people's blinkered worldviews now! My name is apparently splattered across the front page of their antifeminist conclave with the epithet "confessed rapist" attached. Two days ago it was r/MensRights, now it's the Alpha Males themselves beating their chests and beating on my reputation.
Why? Because I believe Shermer's accusers and believe that he's probably a lot looser with consent than he should be, possibly up to and including being willing to rape unconscious victims. And that I'm willing to believe this even despite my having personally experienced a fake rape charge at 16. Instead of becoming an angry man shouting down those uppity feminists for advocating for clear consent, I sided with the feminists, and therefore I am the enemy. Therefore I am a monster. And I must be STOPPED.

Scabies - What is scabies?
Scabies is a skin infection that makes you extremely itchy. It's caused by tiny creatures called mites that live under your skin. Scabies won't go away on its own, so you'll need to see your doctor to get it treated. Because scabies spreads very easily from one person to another, it's important to treat all the people you live with.
We've brought together the best research about scabies and weighed up the evidence about how to treat it. You can use our information to talk to your doctor and decide which treatments are best for you.
Scabies is a skin infection that can make your whole body extremely itchy. It's caused by tiny creatures called mites burrowing under your skin. You might feel upset or embarrassed by the thought of mites living in your skin. But scabies is not a sign of poor hygiene. Anyone can get it.
You won't usually be able to see the mites that cause scabies. They're about the size of a pinhead. They make tunnels under the skin and lay their eggs in them.[1] Sometimes you can see the tunnels. They look like fine silvery lines on your skin.[2][3]
Most people who have scabies have fewer than 12 mites. But people with a severe type of scabies (called Norwegian or crusted scabies) can have thousands of mites.[3]
The mites can only live on people. If they're scratched off, they die after two or three days.[1] Mites can live on sheets, towels and clothes, but not for very long.
Scabies makes you itch because you have an allergic reaction to the mites.[1][2][3][4] But it can take several weeks before this reaction happens and you start to feel itchy.[3]
Scabies spreads very easily from one person to another. You can catch it by touching someone who's infected. But you need to touch them for quite a long time. So you won't usually catch scabies by shaking someone's hand. But you can catch it by holding hands or from a sexual partner. You can also get scabies by sharing clothes, towels, and bedding with an infected person. But you're less likely to catch scabies this way than from touching someone.[2][3] Once you have scabies you can pass it on to other people.
Because it spreads so easily, once someone in your household has scabies, it's likely that other people will have it too.
Some people are more likely to catch scabies because they're in close contact with lots of other people. This includes:
Children (nurseries and schools sometimes have outbreaks of scabies)
Young mothers
Elderly people in nursing homes.

Home > Food > Dairy Product Market Research Reports > 244469
This report reviews functional dairy ingredients and the products they are used in, and considers the impact of major consumer health trends, market dynamics, and the status of legislation such as EFSA's Nutrition and Health Claims Regulation on dairy innovation in the functional space. It contains case studies and product examples to forecast what will drive success in functional dairy.
A shift in the underlying formulation and mix of dairy is due to greater advances food technology and is resulting in a greater ability to target not only different demographic groups by age and gender, but also by ethnicity and unique taste trends. Both the 'add in and take out' trend is going to continue across the functional dairy market.
Many factors can impact the success or failure of functional dairy products including consumer understanding of a product's benefits and mechanism of action, price, ingredients, its macronutrient composition, and unlike dietary supplements its taste, texture and food like qualities
The future will be challenging on the regulatory front for functional dairy ingredients and products in the EU and US - if not globally - due to the new Novel Dietary Ingredient guidance in the US and Nutritional Health Claims Regulation becoming law in the EU, as it becomes harder to make claims and the burden of proof is placed on manufacturers.

Home / Innocence Cases
Kenneth Ireland of Connecticut was 17 when he was arrested for raping and killing a woman. During his police interrogation, he maintained his innocence. He was 18 when he was tried and convicted. 21 years later, in 2009, he was freed after DNA evidence showed he did not commit the crime, and the real perpetrator was identified, tried, convicted and sentenced.
A state commissioner will decide Ireland's compensation, which may be up to $8 million. During testimony this week Ireland described the horror he experienced daily in prison.
I wish it were an actual nightmare ... because then I could have woken up instead of spending 21 years in a tiny cell with the most violent criminals who targeted me because I was a convicted sex offender."

Some justice at last to the Central Park Five -- New York City agreed to pay $40 million to the five Black and Latino men wrongfully charged as teens with the rape of a Central Park jogger in 1989.
Kharey Wise, Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Raymond Santana and Yusef Salaam were exonerated in 2002. They filed their lawsuit in 2003. It has taken the city 12 years to finally pay up.
Four of them served 7 years in prison and one served 13 years. Their convictions, largely the product of false and coerced confessions, were overturned when the true perpetrator, Mattias Reyes confessed. DNA evidence confirmed he was the rapist, and although he could not be charged due to the statute of limitations, by the time of his confession he was already serving a 33 year to life sentence for other rapes. More background here. Also see When Justice is a Game and Marked as the Enemy, and New Light on Jogger's Rape Calls Evidence Into Question.[More...]

Robert Dewey served 17 years of a life sentence for a Colorado rape and murder DNA evidence later proved he did not commit.
After release from prison in 2012, he had nothing. In June, Colorado passed a law (available here) allowing up to $70,000. a year compensation to the wrongly convicted. Dewey was present when Governor Hickenlooper signed the bill into law.
A Colorado judge has now approved a $1.2 million settlement to Dewey. 5280 Magazine has a long feature article on Dewey's journey, Resurrection.

The 141st wrongfully convicted death row inmate in the U.S. was released from jail today after serving 15 years for a crime he didn't commit. Damon Thibodeaux, now 38, left prison today. The cause of his wrongful conviction: A false confession. Later DNA testing excluded him as the perpetrator of the crime.
Nationally, DNA has freed 18 wrongfully convicted death row inmates.

John Edward Smith, imprisoned for the past 19 years for a murder he did not commit, walked out of court a free man yesterday.
It was not DNA evidence that freed him, but perjured testimony at his trial. The sole eyewitness at his trial admitted lying.
Prosecutors told the judge they were convinced that the lone eyewitness to the 1993 shooting had lied at Smith's trial, naming him as the gunman. Smith maintained he was at his grandmother's house when the shooting occurred several blocks away.
The witness said said he was pressured by police to identify Smith as the shooter. [More...]

A hearing is underway in federal court in North Carolina to determine whether new evidence, when considered collectively rather than piecemeal, is sufficient to overturn the murder convictions of former Army surgeon and Green Beret Jeffrey MacDonald, imprisoned since 1982 for the 1970 Charles Manson-style attack on his wife and daughters.
Here is the 2008 order denying relief. In 2011, the Appeals court reversed and ordered a new hearing. [More...]

What a nightmare. In 1996, Kristin Bunch was 21, pregnant and living in a mobile home with her three year old. A sudden fire engulfed the trailer, killing her three year old. The police said it was arson and claimed she went into her son's bedroom, doused it with a liquid accelerant like kerosene or diesel fuel and set it on fire. She was charged and convicted of felony murder and arson and sentenced to 60 years in prison. Arson investigators testified at her trial that burn patterns indicated the fire was arson.
After 16 years in prison, she was released on bond today pending a retrial, and went home with her jubilant mother and now 16 year old son (whom she gave birth to in prison.) In March, the Indiana Court of Appeals set aside her conviction, finding it was based on invalid, outdated science and the prosecutor had withheld critical evidence at her trial. (Great work by Kristin's post-conviction team, including the Center on Wrongful Convictions.)[More..}

Andre Davis, now 50 years old, left a maximum security prison in Illinois today, after serving 32 years for a rape and murder that DNA evidence has proven he didn't commit.
A federal court overturned his conviction when DNA tests not available at the time of his trial came back with a finding that the blood and semen found at the crime scene were not those of Davis.
Prosecutors earlier today said they will not recharge him. Did the DNA tests sway them? Not much.
[Prosecutor] Reitz said that while she didn't doubt the results of the DNA tests, she decided not to retry Davis because of the difficulty in taking a 32-year-old case to trial — not because of those tests.
Davis requested the DNA testing in 2004. Why did it take 8 years to free him?

Robert Dewey, a Colorado inmate sentenced to life without parole for murder, left jail today a free man after serving 18 years of his sentence. DNA testing, using a technology not available at the time of his conviction, proved he was innocent.
Dewey is the 290th person to be exonerated nationwide on the basis of DNA evidence proving factual innocence -- meaning someone else committed the crime.
"I find that Mr. Dewey is factually innocent of the crimes of which he was accused of in this case," the judge said, noting Dewey had spent more the 6,000 days behind bars. "Mr. Dewey is now again a free man."

Four great job opportunities at The Innocence Project in New York: Two for lawyers, one for an online communications director and one for a field organizer.
Did anyone catch Jeopardy last week when this question was asked?

Henry James was convicted of aggravated rape in Louisiana in 1982 and sentenced to life without parole. Today, the court vacated his conviction after DNA testing proved he was not the perpetrator. He served 1 month less than 30 years, the longest time served by any DNA exoneree in Louisiana.
James was convicted based in large part on a faulty cross-racial eyewitness identification. He had three alibi witnesses at trial: his father, his boss and a neighbor. The jury convicted anyway.
His stepfather confirmed that he had been asleep at the time of the crime. (James' mother had passed away, and he lived with his stepfather. James slept in the same bed as his stepfather.) Another witness testified that he saw the defendant walking to work and gave him a ride the rest of the way, and his boss testified that he arrived at work at 6:48 AM. However, James' lawyer failed to inform the jury about the serological testing that excluded James as a suspect.
Although DNA had been collected at the crime scene, it wasn't tested at the time of trial. By the time James was able to get the Innocence Project on board, it had been lost. Last year, a lab worker came across the slide while looking for DNA evidence in another case. [More...]

The West Memphis 3, Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley and Jason Baldwin, have been freed from prison after 18 years. They agreed to plead guilty via Alford pleas, under which they acknowledge the state has sufficient evidence to prove their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, but they do not admit they committed the crimes and can maintain their innocence. Why the Alford pleas? So they can't sue the state for their wrongful conviction and confinement.
The hearings were closed to the media and public. The District Attorney is giving a press conference now, and says the three are being processed for release and will walk out as free men today.
From the press conference: The DA says: Moments ago, all three entered guilty pleas to murder. The deal was proposed by the defense. The D.A. consulted with the families but did not give the families veto power. [More...]

A surprise hearing has been scheduled tomorrow for the West Memphis 3 , Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley and Jason Baldwin. A gag order is in place, but WREG reports that two of them, including Damien Echols who was sentenced to death, will be released. Reports are that a plea deal has been arrived at under which all three would plead guilty to lesser charges and two would be released. Some reports say all three would be released immediately. The reports emanate from the families of the murdered youths, who were told about the deal but asked not to discuss it until tomorrow. The three have already been moved from their respective prisons for tomorrow's hearing in Jonesboro:
The Arkansas Department of Corrections says all three have left their prisons and are now in the custody of the Craighead County Sheriff's Office, taking all their belongings with them.
The Court released this statement: [More...]

Dwayne Jackson served four years in prison for a robbery it turns out he did not commit. An "accidental switch" of DNA samples at the Las Vegas lab, or "human error" as the news puts it, was responsible.
The state has admitted the error and a settlement has been reached. Jackson was freed from prison in 2006.
More than 200 cases will now be reanalyzed to determine if other such errors were made by this lab tech, who has been placed on administrative leave.

In 1979, Jeffrey R. MacDonald, a captain in the Medical Corps, was convicted of murdering his pregnant wife and their two young daughters in the family's Fort Bragg home. He was sentenced to three life terms and has steadfastly maintained his innocence. He lost his direct appeal and many post-conviction motions for relief. His case was the subject of the book and movie, Fatal Vision.
A year ago, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in his latest request for relief. Today, the Court ordered the trial court to consider DNA evidence casting doubt on his guilt in conjunction with the other submitted innocence evidence. The court said the innocence evidence must be considered together as a whole, rather than piecemeal. The opinion is here.

Maryland "Freak State" PING!
Sad. We are losing more and more of the culture war battles at this point. The country is changing rapidly - and not for the better. What passes for the American public will soon be largely secular and socialist. This spiral downward is likely to accelerate and will end in complete societal/economic collapse.
As it was in the Days of Lot, so shall it be in the days of the Coming of the Son of Man.
In those days they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, marrying and giving in marriage until the destruction came and took them all away.
And they knew not.
Is Mary Land like Disney World?
Their "commitments" will be just as transient as ever. Except now there will be more children involved, and attacks on the Catholic Church will escalate.
This cat is out of the bag. I doubt it takes more than 2 to 3 election cycles to bring this everywhere. The country is abyss bound.
Is Mary Land like Disney World?
And to think this nation was founded by Pilgrims who dedicated it in covenant to God and for the gospel of Jesus Christ only to degenerate into these abominations. I'm only in my mid fifties but destination Heaven is looking better all the time.
Maine voters chose freedom over fear,
No, they chose sin over righteousness.
The late Spiro Agnew left liberal MD for CA, before it was so liberal, years ago. Maybe MD and CA can have intramural competition on who is the most liberal. But Agnew is not around to break the deadlock. MD people as a whole always disappoint, but I assume there are individual exceptions.

Pandora Media (NYSE:P)
This article I wrote sums up why I think Pandora will outperform long term: http://beta.fool.com/evanbuck/2012/12/07/pandoras-boombox-future-internet-radio/18198/
I see a lot of positive things for Pandora, except for one. Earnings. I just don't see how this company is going to earn any significant amount of money. At it's current price of about $13 it would need to earn 65 cents a share to have a PE of 20. I just don't see that happening. Everytime P's revenues go up, it's costs go up just as much. Don't get me wrong, I use Pandora and I love it. I just don't see them earning the money to justify it's share price.

Old Village Hall Restaurant
111 Coffee Street
Lanesboro Minnesota 55949United States
(507) 467-2962
Editor's Review
Enjoy an elegant, gourmet feast at this downtown Lanesboro mainstay.
Old Village Hall offers made-from-scratch goodness, fresh from Mother Earth. Seasonal and local foods dictate the continually changing menu (which you can find on the Web site before you stop). Also seasonal, deck seating that provides the perfect setting to linger over a bowl of pasta and a glass of fine wine. During our visit, we enjoyed a hearty bowl of morel mushroom and chopped sirloin soup. Mushroom-lovers will also enjoy the toasted flat bread with beef on a bed of morels with sorrel pearl pasta and teriyaki sauce. Entrees start at $20. Reservations are highly recommended at this year-round establishment. Built in 1886, the building originally housed the village hall, fire station and jail. Amish-inspired hangings and other local art adorn the walls.

@Suntan12- I have to say that I always try to pack about a week in advance.I will usually pack from a list that I put together and this helps me to avoid forgetting certain things.
It also keeps me from packing too much. The same way that you should use a list when you go to a grocery store, I think you should also create a list when you are going on a trip and if you give yourself a week in advance you will be well prepared for your trip and will not stuff your suitcase at the last minute.
I hate that frantic feeling of packing at the last minute and often pack more than I need because I did not plan properly when I do that. I think that planning ahead is the key.

A tax primer
May 13, 2010 - John Stack
For many local school districts this year, extreme workforce reduction measures have been taken. In the worst case locally,
In my work, I have done many town hall information meetings. One of the things come up is when a school or town budget is shown in the newspaper, it often includes, or only includes, what change there will be in the tax rate. This is often a very poor indicator of what is happening with the municipal budget. Tax rates can change drastically with no change in spending, and conversely, tax rates can stay flat when there are large changes in spending. The town of
This is what is happening over in
My point is that most local school districts are making some very hard decisions this year. They have no choice but to make very unpopular cuts, such as teachers, aides and sports. But, for most districts, the schools really have no choice. When Tupper has to lay off 25% of their staff, I say they really have gone beyond cutting the fat and taxpayer angst, if it is directed towards the school, it is misdirected. More time should have been spent in prior years on keeping a much closer eye on costs and what is truly needed so that the cuts this year wouldn't be so draconian. Of course, a much better method of appropriating state school tax dollars would also be a good place to start to get things changed. Another way would be to rid the system of paying for things in the future.
A big problem with the budget is paying for pensions. The school district(and other municipal governments) have to pay a certain percent of payroll towards the State Pension Fund. Back in the 90's the level was about the same year to year. Then, in the late 90's, the stock market exploded. The State decided the stock market was making much more money than was needed to keep the fund solvent. So, they stopped collecting pension money for a few years. This would have been a good time to cut back on taxes as revenues could stay the same, but the expenses decreased. I don't remember anyone doing that. In fact, new initiatives could be taken because taxes wouldn't increase. Of course, the chickens came home to roost. The stock market took a dive, and is still lower than its peak over 10 years ago. The state needed that money to keep the pension fund solvent. But, localities cried that they couldn't afford to start paying back those dollars right away. So, the comptroller decided to delay and delay the municipalities payments, seemingly expecting the stock market to take off again and it would all be moot. That didn't happen. Now, rather than take their medicine when they should, schools and towns and such are having to pay more into these funds at precisely the worst possible time. In an article today, Mt Vernon schools has abudget which lays off over 100 staff, yet their pension obligation for 2010-2011 is increasing more than 30% over last year. This is what happens when you continue to push problems off into the future and hope some silver bullet will save you.

Bullying Prevention: A Research Dialogue with Dorothy Espelage
By The Prevention Researcher
The Prevention Researcher,
Volume 19, Number 3, 2012, Pages 17-20, Item# A193-Espelage
Bullying impacts many of our nation's youth, either as victims, bullies, or bystanders. Over the past two decades, we have seen the research on bullying grow as researchers first defined bullying, and then explored how to effectively intervene and prevent it from happening. We know from listening to our readers and board members that there are many questions about bullying prevention, and at the same time, we know from following the research that it is a complicated topic. In this Q&A, Dorothy Espelage – who has been conducting research on bullying prevention and intervention for the past 18 years – answers some of our pressing questions about bullying and bullying prevention.
Dr. Espelage has been conducting research on bullying for the past 18 years, especially in regards to prevention and intervention programming. Beyond her numerous research articles and books, she also provides workshops and in-service training seminars for school personnel, parents, and community members.

Adolescent Bullying
The Prevention Researcher,
Volume 19, Number 3, 2012
Over the past 20 years, we've watched as bullying research progressed from defining forms of bullying to exploring research-based methods of prevention and intervention.

Improving the Information Base of Political Decision-making - From Goals to Reality Working Group Report: Developing the Effectiveness Evaluation of Policy MeasuresISBN PDF 978-952-5896-75-6, ISSN 1799-7828
Publication (56 pages, 739 kb)
At its mid-term policy review session in March 2009, the Government recorded the need to take steps to develop the effectiveness evaluation of policy measures. The Prime Minister's Office launched a project to prepare the issue (the POVI project). An interim report on the project was completed in November; in addition, the experiences of pilot projects have been described in a separate report.
The current final project report presents recommendations designed to improve the use of information in preparation and decision-making at Government level. The working group's recommendations are closely linked with the project for developing the effective implementation and monitoring of the Government Programme, prepared under the leadership of the Prime Minister's Office (the KOKKA project).
The working group's recommendations are divided into four categories:
1) Research and evaluation plan for the Government term
2) Responsibilities and organisation
3) Changes in modes of operation and the operating culture
4) Tools
The work has been supervised by the Prime Minister's State Secretary, and the ministerial working group on better regulation has been kept abreast of the work. Both general evaluation competence and expertise in various impact assessments were represented in the composition of the working group.
The working group delivers this report for utilisation when defining procedures in support of political decision-making during the next Government term. The working group encourages broad discussion of the recommendations. Developing the effectiveness evaluation of policy measures is long-range work, which has already been promoted during several Government terms. It is important to link evaluation data with decision-making as closely as possible. Procedures and tools need to be developed, but it also means that the culture for preparing policy measures is developed and dialogue gains a more prominent role in the work process. Realisation of the project's recommendations would involve a shift to more systematic use of information.

"Clinically shown to help manage blood glucose levels." "Helps reduce excessive food consumption." "Nutritional support for blood-sugar stability." "Avoid blood sugar lows and highs." "May help you lower A1C levels."
Wouldn't it be great if a specially formulated snack bar or shake could do all that? These days, grocery and drugstore shelves offer a dizzying array of energy bars and other products designed to offer convenience, good nutrition, and sometimes more. A number of products are specifically targeted to people with diabetes, and, as seen from the advertising slogans listed above, many manufacturers claim that their products offer benefits beyond providing a quick snack — and there's some evidence that some do.
It's long been known that keeping blood glucose levels within a fairly narrow range helps you to feel better generally and perform better both physically and mentally. More recently, research has suggested that frequent sharp rises and falls in blood glucose level may be associated with the development of cardiovascular disease in some people with diabetes. "Stabilizing" your blood glucose — or preventing highs and lows — is therefore a worthwhile goal.
The nutrition bars, shakes, and some other products currently marketed to people with diabetes may help you achieve this goal by either preventing hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) or by preventing high blood glucose, particularly after meals. In either case, however, the product you choose to use must be incorporated into your overall meal plan, not just added on, and it should be consumed at an appropriate time. It should be low in saturated fat and, ideally, contain no trans fat. And you should assess its effectiveness at improving your blood glucose control with frequent blood glucose monitoring.
Uncooked cornstarch
Products that contain uncooked cornstarch can help to prevent hypoglycemia because of the way the body absorbs this type of starch. Unlike some other forms of carbohydrate, which the body quickly breaks down and converts to glucose, potentially causing spikes in blood glucose level, uncooked cornstarch is broken down and absorbed very slowly. It does not, therefore, cause a sudden rise in blood glucose level but rather causes a prolonged, lower rise. Interestingly, cooked cornstarch does not have this effect; it produces a faster, higher blood glucose rise.
Because the taste of uncooked cornstarch alone is unappealing, food manufacturers have created products that contain it along with other ingredients to mask the flavor and provide other nutrients. (Cornstarch alone provides virtually no nutrients other than carbohydrate.)
In research studies, it has been shown that eating a bedtime snack containing uncooked cornstarch reduces the incidence of hypoglycemia overnight in people with Type 1 diabetes who follow an intensive insulin regimen. A small study that used continuous glucose monitoring to document the incidence and duration of hypoglycemia showed that hypoglycemia occurred at a rate of 2.8% when people with Type 1 diabetes ate an uncooked-cornstarch–based snack bar at bedtime, and at a rate of 22% when they ate their regular bedtime snack. In addition, people with Type 2 diabetes who ate a bedtime snack bar containing uncooked cornstarch had fewer incidents of elevated blood glucose at midnight and had lower fasting (before-breakfast) blood glucose levels the next morning. The reason for the lower morning fasting blood glucose level is unclear, but it may be due to improved insulin release from the pancreas or more controlled glucose output from the liver.

Luzerne denies records request
Luzerne denies records request
WILKES-BARRE - Luzerne County denied an open records request for emails by claiming Tom Pizano, acting director of elections and acting clerk of courts, is in charge of a "judicial agency" and emails from judicial employees can remain confidential.
The county denied access to Mr. Pizano's emails by asserting, among other reasons, he has one email account for two jobs and responding to the email request "would be a burden" for the "understaffed" county "to sort through and review all of the emails."
After county Manager Robert Lawton fired Leonard Piazza as director of elections in April, he appointed Mr. Pizano acting director of elections. The Citizens' Voice filed a request July 26 for access to Mr. Pizano's emails since Nov. 1.

Speaking of Poverty
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 03-14-2013 - 9:18am
Poor kids have greater chances of asthma, Substandard housing being a contributing factor. What would you change/add if money was no object? What are your thoughts and experiences?
|Thu, 03-14-2013 - 11:32am
Let me get this straight. The game is to eliminate the effects of poverty without tackling poverty. Can I call a friend? "Hello, Jim? I need your help. I seem to have been handed a Kobayashi-Maru."
I used that saying in an office meeting just the other day.
|Thu, 03-14-2013 - 11:34am
Well, The reality is that poverty isn't only an economic conditon but also a culture. No, I really don't mean to bring Romney into this but you just did!
How is poverty culture?
|Thu, 03-14-2013 - 11:35am
You're absolutely right Marla, I AM removed from poverty - no experience in it but we're not so segreated from it either and I don't buy the political nonsense that in orer to help those in poverty we must eliminate poverty!
Then what's your solution? You haven't bothered to answer your own questions, are you as confused by them as the rest of us?
|Thu, 03-14-2013 - 11:36am
There certainly is the poverty culture on both ends of the spectrum really, What don't you understand? Back to the op please, You have money to burn....
End poverty. Really, why on earth if you had unlimited funds would you choose to "not" limit poverty?
|Thu, 03-14-2013 - 11:38am
I completely agree, Marla. And briefly scanning some articles, it looks like "culture of poverty" was coined in the 70s and there are lots of articles supporting parts of the original theory and lots of articles refuting it. But, I do think that the intention is/was to describe the effect of poverty on things like self-esteem and confidence. I have never bought the idea of the welfare queen popping out more babies so her check is larger each month. It's not too bad being poor when you have parents who can lend you money if you get in a real bind or when you know it is temporary. It's something else entirely when you know that if you make one slightly risky move and it turns out badly that you and your kids will be living in a car.
It's really difficult to think about long term choices when you live day to day.
My 18 year old niece just became a mother a month ago. She always struggled in school and ended up dropping out. She's dropped out of GED prep, too. School makes her feel dumb. This however, does not mean that she lacks any aspirations in her life. She wants to live a life with the man of her dreams and have children. She wants to have a family, just like many other people. She had no reason to delay childbirth into her mid or late 20s. She's already got the guy, and she has no other life plans, so what's the point in waiting? Mind you, I'm not trying to justify her teen parenthood and her probable lifetime of poverty here, I'm simply trying to it explain it from the bottom up instead of the top down.
We tell kids from day one that they need to get good grades so that they can get into the right college so that they can get the right job to be successful in life. This is a great message, until you consider that the kids who find that school is a constand struggle, finally accepts the fact they're pretty much shut out of a successful life. Unfortunately, we allow the poor to live in standards so low that we end up with threads like this, asking what to do with all those filthy poor kids whose homes aren't even conducive to thriving.
Sorry to use your post to springload my soapbox on.
I took offense because the way the term culture was being thrown around seemed to imply that people who live in poverty aren't deserving of help.
|Thu, 03-14-2013 - 11:38am
|Thu, 03-14-2013 - 11:41am

There certainly is the poverty culture on both ends of the spectrum really, What don't you understand? Back to the op please, You have money to burn....
If I have money to burn, I don't have any interest in keeping poverty intact. I think that's where I'm struggling with your question.
Could you tackle some of the questions I asked about your inspection plans, btw?

I have several users who use the Smart Ink layer exclusively inside Powerpoint (10) for their lessons. They like to annotate on the board with notes during the lecture. It seems this is a surefire case for a BSOD. They are reporting a system crash everytime they attempt to use the ink.
The machines are Win7 with Smartnotebook 11 installed and the proper components for both Office and Notebook installed. The ink works properly, it just seems with any extended use they are getting a system crash.
2GB of memory and a Core2 Duo processor is what these machines are packing so I am surprised they are not beefy enough to accomplish this task.
Could anyone else duplicate this or is anyone else seeing this issue?

crown of glory
- Old French: corone, crown
A headdress resembling the fillets, wreaths, and garlands of the ancient Greeks, emblematic of sovereignty. The Roman emperors are frequently represented as wearing either the diadem, the laurel crown – a simple emblem of glory – or the radiating crown which symbolized the deification of the emperors. In ecclesiastical usage the saints are portrayed with crowns to symbolize their reigning with Christ.

Line up three glasses of Riesling from three Seneca Lake wineries for a tasting and you will discover something compelling: terroir. Each wine will show a lively balance of fruit and crispness. But a Riesling from the southeastern shore of the lake will likely have vibrant lime and grapefruit flavors, while one from the western shore will show notes of mineral and slate, and one from farther north on the lake will taste of honey and lush apricot.

Forecasted 2013 U.S. Base Salary Increases Remain Stable
July 16, 2012 — U.S. employees can expect median base salary increases of 3% in 2013, according to research released by Hay Group. These increases are consistent with forecasted base salary increases reported by Hay Group for the past two years. After factoring in annualized consumer price index growth at 2.2%, the resulting pay movement for 2013 is a net gain of 0.8%, after employees saw an estimated 0.6% net loss in 2012.
These findings align with the top-level results of the "WorldatWork 2012-2013 Salary Budget Survey."
"With the economy continuing to grow slowly, it is not surprising that salary increases have followed suit," said Jeff Blair, Hay Group's U.S. productized services leader. "Relatively low annual salary increase budgets are limiting the financial rewards available to employers. As a result, organizations are increasingly focused on improving employee engagement and creating a positive work climate for employees."
According to Hay Group's research, median 3% pay increases are being reported for executives, middle management, supervisory and clerical positions. The 3% increase holds fairly steady across most industries, except the oil and gas and luxury retain sectors, which report 3.3% and 3.5% median increases, respectively.
"Sectors with increases above the general industry median often have more optimistic business performance outlooks," said WorldatWork member Tom McMullen, Hay Group's North American reward practice leader. "Some sectors rebounded more quickly and have higher margins than other industries, which may explain why projected base-salary increases are higher. Moreover, in most industries we see organizations seeking to remain competitive by placing greater emphasis on variable pay programs, career development opportunities, meaningful job designs and nonfinancial recognition programs.
"Organizations are devoting more time and energy to better understanding what employees truly value in their reward package and modifying their programs to reflect those preferences," McMullen said. "Quite often, it is the lack of attention to some of the nonfinancial rewards that drive good employees out of organizations, so this can go a long way toward improving employee engagement and retention."
Hay Group's forecasted results are based on the latest data available from Hay Group's U.S. database, provided by 350 U.S. organizations from March through June 2012. This is Hay Group's 33rd year of conducting the survey. Typical respondents to the survey include compensation professionals in the HR departments of small to large size U.S. organizations across a wide range of industries. Hay Group's U.S. database represents compensation practices for almost 2,900 companies and more than 6.7 million employees.

"Waltz with Bashir," says Israeli filmmaker Ari Folman of his extraordinary and disturbing evocation of the horrors of the First Lebanon War of the early 1980s, "was always meant to be an animated documentary.
"For a few years, I had the basic idea for the film in my mind but I was not happy at all to do it in real life... Then I figured out it could only be done in animation with fantastic drawings."
Israel will probably never find out the fate of missing navigator Ron Arad, a senior Israeli figure said this week.
Last weekend, Hizbollah delivered a dossier on its efforts to locate the navigator, who bailed out over Lebanon 22 years ago, as part of the prisoner deal.
The IDF Chaplains Corps began exhuming bodies from a special graveyard this week as part of the first stage of the prisoner exchange between Israel and Hizbollah.
For its part, Hizbollah presented their preliminary report on missing IAF navigator Ron Arad, shot down over Lebanon in 1986.
Israel is due to receive Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser, captured two years ago, in the next two weeks in return for five Lebanese prisoners and the bodies of 10 Hizbollah fighters.
The cabinet voted this Sunday in favour of the plan despite Prime Minister Ehud Olmert warning that the two soldiers are presumed to be dead.
The group's external security organisation was already included in the government's list of outlawed terror groups, drawn up under legislation passed eight years ago. Now Hizbollah's entire military structure is to be banned. This reflects UK anger that the organisation, which faced Israel in the second Lebanon war, also supports terrorism against British troops in Iraq.
A prisoner deal between Israel and Hizbollah is a "matter of days" away, according to Israeli officials, as the families of the captured israeli soldiers cling to hope they might still be alive.
In the deal, Israel will transfer to Lebanon convicted murderer Samir Kuntar and four Hizbollah members. Israel will receive its two soldiers, Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, who were captured two years ago. The unofficial assumption in Israel is that the soldiers are dead.
Hizbollah has indicated that it is eager to reach a prisoner-swap deal with Israel, which will include the two captured Israeli soldiers and six Lebanese prisoners being held by Israel.
Lebanese media outlets close to Hizbollah have been reporting an impending deal this week, although Israeli sources suggest this is an effort by Hizbollah to push the negotiations forward.
