The University of California Education Abroad Program offers a great opportunity for students interested in the Korean culture to study at three universities in Seoul. EAP participants may study for the fall semester or academic year at Yonsei University, Ewha Women's University, and Korea University. The program begins with a six-week summer language program. Thereafter, most students take courses taught in English in the humanities and social sciences and study Korean language. Students proficient in Korean may enroll in regular university courses taught in Korean in a wide variety of academic fields.
See more details on:
Founded in 1885, Yonsei is the oldest university in Korea. The main campus is located on 250 wooded acres in western Seoul on the former site of a Yi Dynasty royal palace. The main quad resembles an American East Coast university with its numerous gothic stone buildings, although this traditional core is being infused with new architecture as the university expands. The university enrolls over 35,000 students in a broad range of academic departments, a comprehensive graduate program, and professional schools.
EAP students may attend EAP's Korea Studies Summer Program at Yonsei University. The program, which is also attended by UC students going on the Korea fall and year options, offers Korean language classes at the beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels. Classes concentrate on developing Korean language comprehension, vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar skills. In addition to language study, during the ILP students take one or two courses taught in English on Korean history, culture, literature, business, economics, society, or politics.
EAP students who plan to study at Yonsei for the fall semester or academic year begin the program with orientation and the Korean Studies Summer Program, described above. Orientation activities provide students with information on the university, the academic program, banking, housing, and an introduction to Korean culture.
NOTE: Students who are fully proficient in Korean and who will take most of their course work in Korean during the fall or year may request an exemption from the ILP.
Each semester, students who are not fluent in Korean continue Korean language study and take courses through Yonsei's Division of International Education and Exchange(DIEE). Language courses are semi-intensive and normally meet for two hours per day, five days per week. The average class size is 12 to 15 students. Students are placed at the appropriate language level based on mandatory written and oral placement tests administered before the first day of classes. Depending on the level, the classes emphasize oral-aural skills and systematic grammatical pattern acquisition, basic writing skills, listening comprehension, composition, and cross-cultural communication.
EAP students also take courses taught in English through DIEE. These courses have been carefully selected for UC student participation by the EAP Liaison Officer and the DIEE Director. Courses are offered in many fields including business, economics, history, Korean art history, law, literature, philosophy, political science, and sociology. Particularly strong courses for UC students in Asian studies and Korean language and literature. Most ID courses are worth 4.5 UC quarter units. Students who are proficient in Korean are encouraged to enroll in regular Yonsei University courses taught in Korean in a wide range of fields. All courses selected must be approved by the EAP Liaison Officer who administers the program.
Independent study may be arranged in certain fields. Students interested in independent study for first semester should prepare a proposal before departure and submit it to the Campus EAP Office. The EAP Liaison Officer will determine the feasibility of the plan in conjunction with Universitywide Office of EAP standards for independent course work.
Graduate students and advanced undergraduate students, especially business or international studies majors, may study at the International Trade and Management Program (ITM), housed in the Yonsei Graduate School of International Studies. The program is taught in English and is available to qualified and motivated UC graduate and undergraduate students who are advanced in their fields, especially seniors and international studies majors.
ITM provides two programs: a public sector (policy track) program in international studies, and a private sector (management track) program in business administration. It provides students with an understanding of the ways in which public organizations and private corporations conduct international trade and investment policies. Students will develop an understanding of how economic, business, and political factors interact in shaping the international trade and management environment. Graduates of the ITM program become involved in government, international organizations, multinational firms, media, consulting, law, accounting, and academia.
Non-native speakers of Korean language can apply to spend the year studying intensive Korean at the Korean Language Institute (KLI), at Yonsei University. Each year over 600 international students study at KLI. EAP students must indicate their intention to apply for KLI in their EAP application. All applicants will be carefully screened. This special-focus program may not be appropriate for all students and is available to year-long students only. Fall students may not petition to extend to this program.
The fields in bold include course work in English through Yonsei's International Division; the list varies annually.
* This chart provides a quick reference to fields appropriate for UC undergraduate students at Yonsei. Some courses may have prerequisites and some fields may be restricted. For additional details, students should refer to host institution catalogs and websites.
Ewha ("Pear Blossom") is synonymous in Korea with exceptional university education for women; increasingly it is also synonymous with globalization and international education. In its own words, "Ewha is a haven for intellectuals and leaders devoted to social progress and equality." A large number of prominent women in Korean society, as well as the spouses of many of Korea's leading male political and business figures, are Ewha graduates.
Ewha is located on a 140-acre park-like campus in hilly western Seoul, adjacent to Yonsei University, and is known as the most beautiful campus in Korea. It has a striking mix of traditional stone Gothic buildings and bold new architecture. Modern residence halls, good sports facilities, a splendid new library, beautiful Student's Culture Hall, and numerous shops and university services make living and studying at Ewha very comfortable. A convenient subway station is located at the end of the street in front of Ewha affording Ewha students easy access throughout Seoul.
EAP students have the option of studying at Ewha for the summer, fall, or academicyear. The Fall and year options begin with a mandatory six-week orientation and intensive language program (ILP) that are held at the International Summer School in Asian Studies. This is also available to UC students who are at the sophomore level.
The International School offers Korean language classes at beginning, intermediate and advanced levels. These classes concentrate on developing Korean language comprehension, vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar skills. Students take a required course called "A Study of Contemporary Korea," and at least one other course. Students are also welcome to take one non-credit course in traditional Korean art. Examples of these classes are folk dance, calligraphy, painting, or tae kwon do.
Each semester students who are not fluent in the Korean language continue to take Korean language courses through Ewha's Asian Studies Program. These language classes are intensive and meet on average six hours per week. Students are placed in appropriate courses based on mandatory written and oral exams taken before the first day of school. Classes emphasize oral-aural skills, basic writing skills, listening comprehension, composition, and cross-sultural communication depending on level.
In addition to language courses, students choose courses from fields such as Korean and Asian arts, business, comparative history, Asian religions, law, sociology, and economics. Students who qualify may choose to register for courses offered in English in any of the departments. Asian studies and women's studies are particularly strong fields. Those who are proficient in Korean are encouraged to enroll in regular classes taught in Korean.
One of the special opportunities offered at Ewha are internships at Korean companies, joint ventures, international organizations, consulting firms, law firms, and non-government organizations (NGO's). Students who enroll in the full academic year may participate in this option during the second semester. Internships are aranged and monitored by Ewha's International Education Institute. Notifications for internship preferences should be given to the Institute well in advance to allow time to locate appropriate positions. Internships usually last six weeks during one of the two semester breaks.
Women's Studies Department and Research Center: These courses may be of particular interest with students majoring in or interested in studying this area while abroad. The Korean Women's Institute (KWI) conducts educational programs such as Ewha's Women Studies Program, social education for women (outside the university), special lectures, and other community activities. The KWI is also involved in historical research on Korean women and their role in Korean society, gender and labor relations, feminism in Asia, and other such research projects. The Kwi also has active publication programs. Such programs include the Women's Studies Review(published annually since 1984), and two history journals:Primary Sources for History of Korean Women and Women's History Sourcebook: Official Records of Chosun Dynasty. The KWI also actively promotes national and international academic conferences and seminars on women's issues in Asia.
Ewha is also home to Institue for Women's Theological Studies and the Asian Center for Women's Studies. These programs are of particular value since it gives students the opportunity to study women's studies from an Asian perspecive.
Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS): One of the newer programs at Ewha, it is funded with a 1997 grant from the Korean government. It offers an interdisciplinary international curriculum including courses in international business, international economics, international politics, international relations, economic development and social change, international law, and area studies. Even though it is a graduate school, international undergraduates are also welcome to take courses at GSIS. The GSIS student body includes students from Korea, United States, Canada, Argentina, Australia, Nigeria, Vietnam, Pakistan, Phillipine Islands and more. Not only do students learn about multiculturalism in the classrooms, they actually learn to live and cooperate with them in a multicultural environment as well.
The campus is located in northeastern Seoul and is the leading national university. The Korea University provides opportunities for UC graduate students to engage in Korean Studies for an in-depth study of economics, history, politics, sociology, literature, and philosophy of Korea. It received a government recognition and grant in 1997. The grant was used to expand its international studies program. It also received additional funding for the recruitment of more graduate students in Korean studies, based on its excellence in that field.
UC graduate students who qualify for the advanced to native Korean language ability may study in humanities and social science disciplines for the fall or academic year. The focus of this program is principally in advanced study and research in various fields of Korean studies. The university helps facilitate access to many of Korea's leading specialists, archives, and networks connected with the Korean Cultural Research Center and the Korean Studies Research Institute. All of these courses are taught in Korean. For those students who need supplemental language instruction, the Koryo Korean Language and Cultural Studies Program offers six levels of Korean language instruction year-round.
Below are the program costs for 2004-2005 (excluding miscellaneous campus fees, non-resident tuition, and professional school fees). Costs for 2003-2004 will vary due to program changes, currency fluctuations, changes in UC and campus fees, and other factors which could not be anticipated at the time of publication.
EAP students are eligible for special grants and scholarships from UC, EAP, the host country, and other sources. Students who do not currently receive UC financial support may qualify for aid while on EAP. Students who do receive UC financial aid continue to receive grants, loans, and scholarships while abroad. Information and eligibility requirements are available from Campus EAP and Financial Aid Offices.
NOTE: Program costs for new EAP programming in Korea had not been set at the time of publication. Specific cost information will be made available through Campus EAP Offices and on the EAP website at www.uoeap.ucsb.edu.
The Universitywide Office of EAP, a division of the UC Office of the President, establishes and operates EAP programs and coordinates EAP administration systemwide from its headquarters in Santa Barbara. Prior to departure, the Campus EAP Office is a student's primary contact and coordinates recruitment, student selection, orientation, and academic advising. Campus faculty and staff work with the Universitywide Office of EAP, which coordinates EAP administration. While preparing to go abroad students work closely with the International Academic Programs unit of the Universitywide Office of EAP.
EAP programs in Korea are administered by a host university faculty members who serve as EAP Liaison Officers, and advise students on academic matters, assist with housing, and provide information on cultural events. At Korea University a UC faculty member will be appointed to advise about placement, facilitate linkages between Koryo faculty and program applicants, provide general academic supervision to students, and be responsible for UC academic credit matters.
Students must submit a completed application to the Campus EAP Office by January 2005. Undergraduate applicants must meet the following minimum requirements:
NOTE: These are the minimum program requirements only and do not guarantee selection.
Yonsei: Most students live on campus in Yonsei's international student dormitory. Other options include apartments, boarding houses, living with relatives, and self-arranged home-stays. Students who do not live in the dormitories must make housing arrangements themselves.
Ewha: On-campus housing is limited, so students who have family in Seoul are encouraged to live off-campus with them. On-campus housing is available in the International House or in regular student dormitories.
Korea University: On-campus dormitories, private boarding houses, and off-campus housing are available.
* Approximate dates. Actual dates vary by host institution.
Completed applications (academic planning form, transcripts, letters of recommendation, and a statement of the student's educational goals for the period abroad) are due in January/February. Applications, exact deadlines, and further information are available at Campus EAP Offices or through the EAP home page on the WWW at www.uoeap.ucsb.edu.

At What Cost? Community Colleges & Federal Student Loans
Nearly 1 million community college students do not have access to federal student loans because their schools choose not to offer them, says this report from the Institute for College Access & Success. Without access to these loans, the report concludes that students may not be able to stay enrolled without turning to more costly and risky forms of borrowing such as credit cards or private loans, or reducing their chances of graduating by working longer hours or cutting back on classes.

In the explanatory essay "A Republic of Front Porches," contributing editor Patrick Deneen, professor of political theory at Georgetown University, discusses how "the forces that led to the decline of the porch as a place of transition between the private and the public realm have eviscerated both those domains of their capacity to educate a citizenry for self-government."

Radhastami Celebrations
By Your servants at the Krishna Balaram temple, Vrindavana
radhe vrindavanesvari
vrishabhanu-sute devi
pranamami hari-priye
I offer my respects to Radharani, whose bodily complexion is like molten gold and who is the Queen of Vrindavana. You are the daughter of King Vrishabhanu, and You are very dear to Lord Krishna.
23rd September, is the glorious celebration of a special event, although it occurs annually. Every year it fills the hearts of the devotees with effervescent joy – The build up to another year of pomp and festivity, and of course, the unparalleled flow of unalloyed compassion that just drowns everyone in an ocean of bliss! What is this? It is the glorious festival of Radhastami.
Occurring during the eight day of the waxing moon, this beautiful festival is gorgeously celebrated throughout Vrindavana as probably the holiest of all holy days. To the inhabitants of Vrindavana and especially the inhabitants of the Krishna Balarama temple, a very special energy flows through the hearts of one and all. What is this? It is an annual wait to get an opportunity to again glorify the dearest object of there sweet love and worship – a whole year of eagerly waiting with anxiety to once again get a perfect glimpse of Their Lordships Radha-Syamasundara. This day will give them a rare and wonderful darshana, that of the soft lotus feet of Srimati Radharani.
Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti quotes the following detailed description of Srimati Radharani's footprints, as given by Srila Rupa Gosvami in his Sri Ujjvala-nilamani:
"At the base of the large toe of Her left foot is the mark of a barleycorn, below that mark is a disc, below the disc is an umbrella, and below the umbrella is a bracelet. A vertical line extends from the middle of Her foot to the juncture of Her large and second toes. At the base of the middle toe is a lotus, below that is a flag with a banner, and below the flag is a creeper, together with a flower. At the base of Her small toe is an elephant goad, and upon Her heel is a half-moon. Thus there are eleven marks on Her left foot." "At the base of the large toe of Her right foot is a conch shell, and below that a spear. At the base of the small toe of Her right foot is a sacrificial altar, below that an earring, and below the earring a spear. Along the base of the second, third, fourth and small toes is the mark of a mountain, below which is a chariot, and on the heel is a fish." "Thus all together there are nineteen distinguishing marks on the soles of Srimati Radharani's lotus feet." SB 10.30.28p
This auspicious day is also a rare chance for the devotees to make and offer something wonderful to Radharani in deep gratitude to Her for Her limitless compassionate glance that She casts upon them, moving there hearts to sincerely go on, through the turbulence that life throws at them, just like an affectionate mother.
It is the instruction of Prahlada Maharaja also that if one is seeking peace of mind he should free himself from all contamination of family life and take shelter of the Supreme Godhead by going to the forest. To the Gaudiya Vaisnavas, this forest is the forest of Vrinda or Vrindavana. If one takes shelter of Vrindavana under Vrindavanesvari (Srimati Radharani), certainly all the problems of his life are solved very easily". SB 4.8.24p
To the devotees of the Krishna Balarama temple, She is not just another deity of Lord Krishna's internal potency, but she is the original form of Her Majesty. In the Brahma-samhita (5.33), it is stated that the Lord is never to be found by becoming a great scholar of the Vedic literatures, but He is very easily approachable through His pure devotee.
In Vrindavana all the pure devotees pray for the mercy of Srimati Radharani, the pleasure potency of Lord Krishna . Srimati Radharani is a tenderhearted feminine counterpart of the supreme whole, resembling the perfectional stage of the worldly feminine nature. Therefore, the mercy of Radharani is available very readily to the sincere devotees, and once She recommends such a devotee to Lord Krishna, the Lord at once accepts the devotee's admittance into His association. The conclusion is, therefore, that one should be more serious about seeking the mercy of the devotee than that of the Lord directly, and by doing so (by the good will of the devotee) the natural attraction for the service of the Lord will be revived. SB 2.3.23p
Installed here in Vrindavana under the guidance of Srila Prabhupada during the Ramnavami festival of 1975, together with Their Lordships Sri Sri Krishna Balaram and Their Lordships Sri Sri Gaura Nitai, she illuminates the altar with the dark and handsome Syamasundar and her 2 girlfriends Lalita (on the left) and Vishaka (on the right) There is not another deity like Her in the entire creation, and in Vrindavana it is unanimously accepted that She is the feature of the original Radharani … NO, She is the original Radharani herself! Being just 3.4 feet high, She radiates a dazzling beauty unparalleled anywhere on this planet. Flocks of thousands upon thousands of pilgrims come to take Her darshan daily, and on this day, they will endure any hardship to get a mere glimpse of Her. Continually bellowing from the depth of there hearts they chant Her holy name Radhe! Radhe!. while profuse amounts of tears roll down there cheeks as all the effort they had made to come here was finally worth it, …a mothers love soothes any pain.
The temple will be decorated with beautiful flowers, ornately adorning the altar and temple room as well as the inner and outer temple area, a marvel of natures beauty and opulence, quite befitting the mood of Vraja with its abudance of beautiful scented flowers and vines.
preshthalibhiha sevyamanau smarami
In a temple of jewels in Vrindavana, underneath a desire tree, Sri Sri Radha-Govinda, served by Their most confidential associates, sit upon an effulgent throne. I offer my humble obeisances unto Them. Adi 1.16.
Our humble request to all is that you set your heart as an altar to receive the soft lotus feet of Srimati Radharani, collect them with humble hands and serve Her to the best of your ability, with a heart full of love and sincerity. The scriptures tell us that her compassion knows no bounds and if you approach her in a helpless mood of genuine service, she will
certainly notice you and request to Krishna on your behalf to bestow the top most treasure, that of love of God.
Your servants at the Krishna Balaram temple, Vrindavana

Wildland Fires:
Forest Service's Removal of Timber Burned by Wildland Fires
GAO-03-808R: Published: Jul 10, 2003. Publicly Released: Aug 11, 2003.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Wildland fires burned over 8 million acres during the 2000 wildfire season, making it one of the worst in the past 50 years. As a result, a National Fire Plan was implemented beginning in 2001 to better prevent, prepare for, respond to, and repair damage caused by wildland fires. In fiscal years 2001 through 2003, Congress provided $4.9 billion to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Forest Service to implement the National Fire Plan on land that it manages. Of this amount, Congress earmarked $212 million to fund the rehabilitation of land burned by wildland fires. In general, rehabilitation covers long-term efforts to improve lands unlikely to recover naturally from wildland fire damage. In some cases, rehabilitation may include removing timber from burnt land to, among other things, reduce hazardous fuels. Questions have been raised, however, about whether it is appropriate to use rehabilitation funds for removing such timber, which can be sold. Trees that are removed from National Forest System land can be either green and healthy or dead or dying as a result of disease or wildland fire. Depending on their value, the trees may be disposed of or sold. In general, if the trees have little or no commercial value, the Forest Service will use service contracts to have the trees removed and disposed of. If the trees have commercial value, they are considered timber, and the Forest Service will use timber sale contracts to have the timber removed and sold. Timber sale contracts generally proceed through two phases--a planning phase and an implementation and award phase. The Forest Service can use different funding sources to have timber removed depending on the reason for removal. Congress asked us to determine (1) if the Forest Service uses wildland fire rehabilitation funding to remove timber from burnt land, and, if not, the source of funding the Forest Service uses as well as the types of contracts used, and (2) why this timber is removed.
GAO found that the Forest Service relied exclusively on timber sale funding, and did not use wildland fire rehabilitation funding, for implementing and awarding timber sale contracts to have timber removed from burnt land. As of April 2003, 88 timber sale contracts had been implemented and awarded to remove timber from burnt land in Forest Service regions 1, 3, and 4. According to the Forest Service, it has timber removed from burnt land for several reasons--to reduce hazardous fuels, recover the economic value of the timber, protect public health and safety, and restore vegetation. While the Forest Service cited one primary reason for having timber removed for 69 of the contracts, it cited multiple reasons for 19 contracts.

Do Not Link has added new features
November 20, 2014 Leave a comment
DoNotLink.com is an excellent tool for all skeptics to have in their toolkit. I've written about it before. I noticed recently that it has added some new features over the last few months. I thought it would be worth calling them to your attention.
The problem this tool solves is sort of an online skeptic variation of the Streisand Effect. When you critique a bad idea that has been posted on the web, you often start by linking to it. The link allows your readers to understand what you are debunking. In addition to allowing your readers to see the source, the link itself will become input to various algorithms such as Google PageRank, Facebook's news feed algorithm and Twitter trends. But these algorithms share a crucial limitation – they all treat any reference to content as positive. (It is illustrative that there is a "Like" button on Facebook, but no "Dislike" button.) To these algorithms, there's nowhere to go but up.
And so skeptical links literally send mixed signals out on the web. While you are telling all the humans, "This content is bad!" your hyperlink is telling all the robots "This content is good!"
DoNotLink.com solves that problem for social media, by providing a way to link to something while disabling the algorithms' ability to measure it. The link still works, the site still can get visitors and can still count a hit and show visitors some ads and so on. The site is in no way damaged by this way of linking! But the algorithms can no longer add that hyperlink to the site's popularity score.
That makes it very valuable to skeptics. So lets look at the new features, which make it even better.

Reviews for the Huawei MediaPad X1
Nexus rival. The Huawei MediaPad X1 7.0 is designed to vie with the Google Nexus 7, and with its in-house processor and high-resolution LTPS display, it seems to be an interesting competitor in the 7-inch segment. The LTE tablet leaves a good impression in many respects; however, it shows some flaws in terms of software.
Source: Trusted Reviews
The Huawei MediaPad X1 is a bit of an oddball. It's a 7-inch phone, and it only makes sense if you consider it as such given that rival 7-inch tablets are available for less than half the price. It seems like Samsung may already have some of the MediaPad X1's potential sewn up with the Note series of phones, but it is a promising device regardless.

7.0": This is one of the smallest formats, which is used for UMPC, Netbooks or Subotebooks. There hardly exist any models with this display format. Working for a long time is uncomfortable. This tiny display is intended for outdoor usage.
The advantage is, that the mini-notebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the tiny display has the advantage, that it needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is very exhausting for the eyes. High resolutions can hardly be used. » To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
0.239 kg: This subnotebook is one of the most lightweight of all notebooks and can be carried very easily. There exist hardly any models in this extreme class of weight. 7-9 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.

The Internet has made public access to records and officials much easier, but the tortuous bureaucracy found in the typical school system is giving the World Wide Web a run for its money.
The Tribune devoted an entire Back to School section July 22 to helping parents understand how to wade through the morass of teachers, counselors, assistant principals, principals, superintendents, governing boards, sponsoring boards, public records requests, AIMS, IEPs, SROs and STOs, to name just a few players and papers. Society has piled more and more roles onto its schools at the same time it demands more accountability from them, so it's somewhat understandable how this incredible paper and person trail built up behind them.
But these processes should be as transparent as possible. From the appearances of the special section's coverage, East Valley school districts are doing a spotty job of accomplishing this, with the largest district doing possibly the worst job.
The typical Mesa Unified School District governing board meeting is about 90 percent staff and student award ceremonies and band and choral recitals. The board does cast actual binding votes, but by then all the recipients, families and co-workers who jam the meeting room, sometimes to overflowing, have filed out, dispersing into smaller cliques or their vehicles.
They aren't missing much, since the substantive discussion the votes are based on takes place during a study session before the meeting. The study session itself is typically squeezed behind a scheduled closed session where the board discusses legal issues, so it's difficult for anyone to plan to be there, since nobody knows when it's going to start.
This makes it impossible for all but the most dedicated and time-flexible observers to keep track of how school policies come together, and it's a routine which has to be changed, so parents can at least make informed choices on who they elect to the board.
The Mesa district does make its board easier to reach outside of meetings by setting up an e-mail account for each one on its Web site. Gilbert Unified provides one inbox for all of its members, and Apache Junction Unified directs all comments to a snail-mail address.
Of course, there are many other ways that parents or other stakeholders can be derailed by a bureaucracy. Tom Bookhout, a father of Arcadia High School grads interviewed by the Tribune's Tammy Krikorian for the section, recounted how he tried to resolve a conflict his daughter had with a teacher and coach by talking to sympathetic vice principals who couldn't do anything about the situation, and apparently didn't inform him that their conversations didn't constitute a formal complaint, for which he needed to fill out paperwork.
This Scottsdale Unified School District campus, and undoubtedly many others throughout the East Valley, needs to do a better job of training employees and guardians alike in the best way to efficiently navigate the scholastic bureaucracy.
It could keep more issues from reaching the schoolboard meeting level. But those board meetings must be made accessible to the parents and taxpayers who make the whole thing possible in the first place.

Guilty plea in sexting caseJanuary 12,2013
BURLINGTON A Vermont man has pleaded guilty to persuading a 12-year-old girl to take nude photos of herself and send the images to his cellphone.
The U.S. Attorneys office says 26-year-old Richard Fletcher of Sheffield pleaded guilty to producing, receiving and possessing child pornography in federal court Wednesday.
Fletcher admitted that in 2011 he persuaded the girl in Utah to take the photos and send him the images.
Fletcher and the girl never met face-to-face. Prosecutors said he met her on a social media website, obtained her cellphone number, and began calling and texting her. They said he pressed for the photos after persuading the girl that he loved her and wanted her to be his girlfriend.
Fletcher is scheduled to be sentenced on April 22.MORE IN This Just InBy DAVE GRAM Full StoryNEW YORK While Hollywood continued to wrestle with the fallout of the Sony hacking scandal, the...

Sandra Otterson, or as she is better know as "Wifey", started doing erotic modeling way back in 1997 when her husband began posting naughty photos of her on Internet newsgroups.
Surprised by the responses the couple launched their own website in 1998 called "Wifey's World". The site, as you can imagine, features both sexy pictures of Sandra and other explicit sexual content.
What should be interesting to Foxypedia readers is the fact that Sandra often times poses alongside items from the sci fi and horror genres, like a life-sized Robby The Robot from "Forbidden Planet" or a model of the space ship from "Lost In Space."
For this Sandra is obviously a sci fi and monster movie lovers fantasy come true, and a perfect example of a "Geek-Girl Diva".

But then - you see stuff. Table confetti - yes please. Pink paper lanterns - thank you kindly. Sky writing - of course - especially if it's Comic Sans to match the invites.
Our reticent budget has got all ballsy and raucous and now extends to furnishing this do with: vases and roses, mirrored tiles, tea lights, helium balloons,a guest book and personalised napkins (ok, so I scrawled it on in biro, but it's the thought that counts).

It's supposed to be a lasting memory of their special day, but several Staten Island couples say their wedding videos are nowhere to be found, and they claim that the owner of the company they hired is taking them for a ride. NY1's Anthony Pascale filed the following report.
Michelle and Nick Secchini tied the knot back in January, but the couple worries that the wedding video they paid more than $2,000 for will never end up in their hands.
"All I do is cry," Michelle Secchini said. "I'm, like, so upset over this."
The Secchinis signed a contract with VIP Video Illusion. They said they were promised the raw material one week after the event, but months later, they said they still haven't received it.
"This is, like, my memory of every minute of that day, and I'm so mad that this guy could do this," Michelle Secchini said.
After posting about the situation on Facebook, Michelle met several other couples with similar complaints. "So we're waiting and waiting and waiting, and we still got nothing," said Angelo Mantello, who got married in April of 2012 and paid $2,800 but still hasn't received his wedding video.
Mantello said he gave VIP Video Illusions several pictures to include in the video, and they're missing, too.
"Baby pictures, family pictures," he said. "It's crazy. How do you run a business? How do you do that to people?"
The couples all tell similar stories.
"Phone calls," said Jennifer Vicencio, one of the people still waiting for her wedding video. "We had the Better Business Bureau try to get in contact with him. No response."
NY1 visited the company's address on New Dorp Lane, but no one answered the door.
NY1 did get in touch with the company's owner, Tommy Falcone, by phone. While he would not agree to talk on camera, he said he's not running away from the contracts he entered into. He said he plans to finish all the videos.
Falcone blamed the delays on a recent divorce. His wife was also his business partner.
He said he's also in the middle of several financial disputes with people he contracted with to shoot and edit the videos, and that some of them are still holding on to footage.
He said he will refund customers whose jobs he can't finish and is no longer accepting any new business.
"It's not fair. This is my video," Michelle Secchini said.
For those waiting for the finished product, the waiting continues.

From hacker to programmer
The difference between hacking and developing software might lie in the quality of testing and documenting projects.
A friend of mine who runs a free software consulting business was lamenting that when he asks his engineers if a project is "finished," they often reply "yes." Yet when he goes back to check the work before invoicing the customer, he finds no or inadequate documentation, no evidence of quality checking, and no communication with the developers of the original source code for inclusion of the changes to the software. In short, the work amounts to a quick "hack" instead of a finished work.
Unfortunately, this happens a lot with software developers, and often those who are hired from "the community." Used to working on smaller projects in which "the code is the documentation" or for end users who do not pay a lot of money for working software, they do not have the experience or rigor necessary for larger projects or commercial code production.
With the very best programmers, projects start before the code is written by making sure that the requirements of the customers are well understood. Timelines are written for the work process, which includes time and resources for quality assurance and documentation. Afterward the design is considered, the code is written, and then the "real work" starts.
Quality Assurance
Quality assurance (QA) has to be done, even for the smallest change or program. Most of the time this kind of testing is best done by someone other than those who wrote the code because QA testing by programmers is tainted by their views of what does and does not need testing and their belief in their own programming skills. Also, a different person might create test cases far outside those test cases programmers would create for their own code.
Documentation is another example in which another person with different skills and viewpoints might do a better job than the original programmer in creating usable documentation for new code (or changes to old code). Documenting the "intuitively obvious" is often what makes the difference between usable documentation and documentation that is of no use at all.
In cases of QA and documentation, the programmer has to create detailed "bullet points" to tell the QA and documentation people what has changed and how those changes affect the previous code and to suggest what needs to be tested and documented. Later, the programmer and project leader should review the QA tests and test results, as well as drafts of the documentation.
In smaller companies and projects, the same person might do the programming, the documentation, and the QA, but those actions have to be done. On the other hand, this is where "Free Software" can really leverage off the use of community members.
Calling on the Community
Many times I hear the lament of end users saying, "I cannot help because I am not a programmer." Yet these same people might be good writers or (assuming the developers tell them what has to be tested) good testers.
With the use of modern online collaboration tools such as wikis, for example, there's no reason why end users of Free Software could not contribute to good documentation. If you read a section of the documentation on a wiki and you do not understand it, once you figure out how the software works, try editing the online documentation to make it clearer.
If, as a customer or user of Free Software, you are following a particular project and like what the programmers are doing, try testing new releases of the code, concentrating on testing what the programmers have changed, as well as the overall functionality of the system. Yes, this might require that you learn how to use a problem-reporting and tracking system, but learning that problem-reporting system is part of your contribution to Free Software.
Interestingly, when dealing with some "professional" closed source companies, you have to PAY for the "privilege" (sometimes as much as US$ 500) just to submit a bug report, much less get any bug fixes or workaround advice.
Of course, team leaders or project managers are the ones ultimately responsible for the overall quality and "completeness" of the program. They should explain the ground rules for developing code inside of their projects as each programmer starts and that those rules include a high standard of testing and documentation.
I told my friend all of this as he was still shaking his head about his own company. He said that he would have a talk with his programmers about creating world-class software. I mentioned that I would write this article, and perhaps his job would be easier.

Cook, Bake, Boil and Bubble... It's all about creating, experimenting and playing with food in my Colorado kitchen.

Curried Onion and Apple
Curry sounded good, and I almost stopped there. Curried onions sounded like a good garnish for the meal I was making.
Then I decided to add an apple. That made the dish. It changed it from a simple garnish to something that was more of a side dish.
When you make this, choose a good baking apple for this, so it doesn't fall apart while you're cooking. I used a Granny Smith, but any apple that's good for pie will be fine.
Curried Onion and Apple
1 tablespoon butter
1 onions, quartered and sliced
1 apple cored, peeled, and sliced
Pinch of salt
Ground white pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
Heat the oil in a saute pan until it foams. Add the onions and cook, stirring as needed, until the onions begin to soften. Add the apple, salt, pepper, and curry powder. Continue cooking until the apples and onions are cooked through.

Suffolk Bancorp Appoints Michael R. Orsino, Chief Lending Officer; Promotes Karen A. Hamilton To Chief Credit Officer
Suffolk Bancorp (NASDAQ - SUBK) today announced the appointment of Michael R. Orsino as Chief Lending Officer of Suffolk's banking subsidiary, Suffolk County National Bank ("SCNB"), effective immediately. He succeeds Karen A. Hamilton, who has been promoted to the newly-created position of Chief Credit Officer. Ms. Hamilton continues to serve as an Executive Vice President of both Suffolk and SCNB, as will Mr. Orsino.
Howard C. Bluver, President and Chief Executive Officer remarked, "We are very excited to have Mike join our team. He has long and extensive experience in building small business and middle market commercial lending teams and portfolios. Among other things, Mike spent more than 20 years with Key Bank, and served at various times as the President of their Long Island District, for their Capital Region District, and their Hudson Valley /Metro New York district. His broader success notwithstanding, his roots are on Long Island, and his understanding of our market is second to none. We are extraordinarily fortunate to be able to welcome him to SCNB, and we believe he will play an essential role in building Suffolk's portfolio in the years to come."
Mr. Bluver went on to say, "Since Karen Hamilton first joined the Bank last May, she has done an excellent job addressing many of the credit-related challenges faced by the Bank over the last two years. Among other things, she has assembled great teams in credit administration, underwriting, and loan workout. Now, in her new position, and with her senior team in place, she can focus on reducing non-performing loans, aggressively pursuing workouts, and building a credit culture that will ensure the quality of our loan portfolio far into the future. Further, given her extensive past experience in the mortgage business, she will also oversee mortgage origination and residential finance."
Suffolk Bancorp is a one-bank holding company engaged in the commercial banking business through the Suffolk County National Bank, a full service commercial bank headquartered in Riverhead, New York. "SCNB" is Suffolk Bancorp's wholly owned subsidiary. Organized in 1890, Suffolk County National Bank has 30 offices in Suffolk County, New York.

Hiyoshi Shrine
|It has been suggested that this article be merged with Hiyoshi Taisha. (Discuss) Proposed since September 2014.
Hiyoshi Shrine (日吉大社 Hiyoshi taisha?), also known as Hiyoshi jinja (日吉神社?) or Hie jinja, is a Shinto shrine located at Ōtsu in Shiga Prefecture, Japan.
The shrine became the object of Imperial patronage during the early Heian period.[1] In 965, Emperor Murakami ordered that Imperial messengers were sent to report important events to the guardian kami of Japan. These heihaku were initially presented to 16 shrines;[2] and in 991, Emperor Ichijō added three more shrines to Murakami's list. Three years later in 994, Ichijō refined the scope of that composite list by adding Umenomiya Shrine and Gion Shrine, which is now known as Yasaka Jinja.[3]
In 1039, Emperor Go-Suzaku ordered that one more shrine be added to the grouping created by Murakami and Ichijō -- the Hie jinja. This unique number of Imperial-designated shrines has not been altered since that time.[3]
From 1871 through 1946, the Hie jinja was officially designated one of the Kanpei-taisha (官幣大社?), meaning that it stood in the first rank of government supported shrines. [4]

Sylvain White Surrenders Details About Frank Miller's RoninMovie News By Jack Giroux on April 20, 2010 | Comments (2)

Director Sylvain White has been attached to Ronin for quite sometime now and if his (very fun) new film The Losers opens as good as it should this weekend, perhaps we wont have to wait too much longer for his take on Miller's samurai epic.

By Peter Menyasz
Aug. 27 — An international arbitration panel has rejected Canadian generic pharmaceutical manufacturer Apotex Inc.'s $1.5 billion claim that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) violated the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) by prohibiting imports of its products.
The three-member International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes panel found no basis for the allegations by Apotex Inc. and Apotex Holdings Inc. that the FDA's 2009 "Import Alert" against products made in two Apotex plants in Ontario violated the investor-state protection provisions in NAFTA Chapter 11, the U.S. State Department said Aug. 27.
"On the merits, the tribunal unanimously concluded that the Import Alert was a lawful and appropriate exercise of FDA's regulatory authority," the State Department said in a statement. "The tribunal's award is an important recognition of the NAFTA parties' authority to take non-discriminatory enforcement action to protect public health."
The panel's ruling, delivered to the parties Aug. 25, is to be made public after a review to remove confidential commercial information. The ruling awarded the U.S. government its full legal costs and 75 percent of the cost of the arbitration process.
Apotex confirmed Aug. 27 the tribunal's ruling rejecting its claims against the U.S. government, noting that the FDA's action against its Etobicoke and Signet plants in the Toronto area effectively eliminated the company's access to the U.S. solid dose drug market for a nearly two-year period.
"While we are disappointed in the tribunal's decision, we remain strongly committed to the U.S. market and we continue to work closely with the FDA to resolve all outstanding issues," Jeremy B. Desai, Apotex's newly appointed president and chief executive officer, said in a statement.
The State Department noted that the arbitration panel found that it lacked jurisdiction for Apotex's claims that it was unfairly denied access to filing abbreviated new drug submissions in the U.S. for products produced at the Ontario facilities during the period the Import Alert applied. The majority of the tribunal found that Apotex was barred from relitigating that issue because it had been addressed by a previous tribunal.
Apotex filed in February 2012 a claim under NAFTA Chapter 11 alleging that the FDA's action cost it hundreds of millions of dollars in lost sales to its U.S. subsidiary Apotex Corp. Application of the Import Alert between August 2009 and July 2011 effectively "decimated" the U.S. subsidiary and prevented the entry of new drugs into the U.S. market, it said.
Apotex's statement of claim alleged that the FDA provided more favorable treatment to competing U.S. investors and U.S.-owned investments, none of which it said were subjected to measures as severe as those imposed on Apotex. It argued that this violated the guarantees of national treatment in NAFTA Article 1102, most-favored nation treatment under Article 1103 and the minimum standard of treatment under Article 1105.
FDA inspections of Apotex's Ontario production facilities in 2008 and 2009, which responded to complaints about the company's products, revealed significant deviations from current good manufacturing practices (cGMP), the State Department said in the Aug. 27 statement. The U.S. agency subsequently issued the Import Alert indicating that drugs offered for import from those facilities were adulterated and could be detained at the border without physical examination, it said.
Apotex confirmed in its statement of claim that the FDA found a total of 11 deviations at the Etobicoke facility but argued that the FDA failed to take into account improvements it made to its quality and manufacturing process and equipment. Likewise, the FDA added the Signet facility to the Import Alert after finding 17 deviations from cGMP standards, despite Apotex's efforts to address its concerns, including an offer to voluntarily recall some products from the U.S. market as a precautionary measure, the company said.
Apotex also argued that Health Canada inspections of its facilities in late 2009 concluded that while some manufacturing processes could be improved further, Apotex was addressing the issues and the facilities were cGMP-compliant. Those assurances were accepted by other jurisdictions, including the European Union, Australia and New Zealand, it said.
