Hampstead Woman Indicted for Embezzling Over $275,000 from Her Employer
Baltimore, Maryland - A federal grand jury indicted Sandra Iris Klaus, age 46, of Hampstead, Maryland, today for mail fraud in connection with a scheme to steal $275,456 from her employer.
The indictment was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; and Special Agent in Charge Richard A. McFeely of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
According to the 12 count indictment, from March 2005 to March 2011 Klaus was employed by a roofing and sheet metal company located in Westminster, Maryland as an administrative assistant and bookkeeper. Klaus was responsible for preparing and submitting the employee weekly payroll and issuing checks to pay vendors. From January 2007 to March 23, 2011, Klaus allegedly diverted company funds to pay her personal credit card bills, and caused fraudulent payrolls checks to be issued to a fictitious employee, which Klaus then endorsed and cashed. Klaus allegedly used a rubber stamp with the name of an authorized company signatory printed on it to sign the company checks for her personal benefit. Klaus is also alleged to have inserted her name as payee on checks that were signed by an authorized person and given to Klaus to make payments for the business.
In an effort to conceal the scheme, the indictment further alleges that Klaus made entries into the company's accounting software system to disguise checks she sent from the company's bank account to pay her credit card bills as payments to legitimate vendors. Klaus also is alleged to have secretly set up a connection from her personal home computer to the company computer server so that she could make fraudulent entries into the company's accounting system from home.
The indictment seeks forfeiture of $275,456.43, at least $132,905.88 of which is alleged to have been transferred to Klaus using fraudulently issued payroll checks; and at least $142,550.55 which Klaus allegedly transferred directly from the company bank accounts to make payments on her behalf.
Klaus faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for each of 12 counts of mail fraud. Klaus is scheduled to have an initial appearance and arraignment in U.S. District Court in Baltimore on Friday, April 8, 2011 at 11:00 a.m.
An indictment is not a finding of guilt. An individual charged by indictment is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty at some later criminal proceedings.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein praised the FBI for its work in the investigation and thanked Assistant United States Attorney Gregory R. Bockin, who is prosecuting the case.

"Stand your ground and pour": How Brooklyn Brewery's Garrett Oliver saved GABF
Fellow Brewers,"Wow, I can't believe you're actually here pouring your beer!" I hear that every year. This week will mark my 21st year judging the Great American Beer Festival. It will also be my 21st year pouring my beer at the GABF. After all this time, I know a few things about brewers and about GABF. Frankly, we go mostly to see each other and to taste each other's beer. A lot of us see each other maybe twice a year, and that can make it hard to spend hours stuck behind your booth, saying the same thing over and over again.
But let me tell you all something. Getting to be a craft brewer, today, at the most exciting time for beer that the world has ever seen, is a true privilege. The people who gave you that privilege are the people who come to GABF. They come to GABF not just for tiny sips of tasty beers -- they are there to see YOU. Yes, you. They are there to ask you questions, to tell you, you things, to have their pictures taken with their favorite brewers, maybe even to tell you that you inspired them to get into brewing. When they come to see you, WILL YOU BE THERE?
In my 21 years, I have worked my booth for hours of every single session of GABF. I'm older than most of you, and I'll be honest -- this doesn't get any easier. At the end of each session, I know that my knees are going to hurt and my voice is going to be shot, and I'm going to be starving. That's the way it is. It's once a year, people, for a few hours. It's time for you to pay back the devotion that's given you the opportunity to do the very best thing in the world, in the very best place, and at the very best time. SO PLEASE STAND YOUR GROUND AND POUR.
I'm not saying that we all have to martyr ourselves. I want dinner too, I want to come by your booth and taste your beer, and I'll see you later down at Falling Rock. The volunteers are wonderful, but if you walk away from your booth and leave it without a brewer all evening, it's just plain wrong. So don't be a wuss. Stand proud behind your beer and do what we came to do. And when your knees start to hurt, remember how damned lucky you are to be here.
See you on the floor,
Garrett Oliver, Brewmaster

"You want to be cheap, be cheap. But you want to flex your muscles? Go ahead and do it. Do it right. You're driving one of the world's mightiest megacorporations. You have credits like most people have red blood cells. Now, you can use it. Lock up your servers. Safe."
–Ulrich Heiner, ice programmer and designer of Draco
What Lies Ahead adds muscle and theme to each of the seven different factions in Android: Netrunner. Its sixty new cards (three copies each of twenty different cards) intensify the game's action as each of the corps receives a new agenda and a flavorful piece of ice, perfectly tailored to its base strengths. On the other side, the runner factions launch into the ongoing cyberstruggles with new icebreakers and support cards. Meanwhile, fans of the Anarchs and Haas-Bioroid should find the Data Pack particularly rewarding as each gains a new identity.
CONTAINS CARDS 1-20 of the "GENESIS CYCLE."
This is not a stand-alone deck. An Android: Netrunner The Card Game core set is required to play.

"Good day, Ms. Jones. The address on the table is of a client who would like to unsubscribe. Standard cancellation. Nothing too noisy, please."
–transcript from NBN security feed
Trace Amount enables players to dabble with bold new deck configurations. The game's runners each gain a new event while each of the corporations looks to fund new operations. Among the Data Pack's sixty new cards (three copies each of twenty individual cards), you'll also find new hardware, resources, icebreakers, ice, agendas, assets, and upgrades. Traces, tags, and links feature prominently.
As a part of the Genesis Cycle, Trace Amount reinforces the core mechanics and personalities of the game's seven factions, all while allowing players greater means to narrow their focus and refine their strategies. Trace Amount is a perfect Data Pack for fans of bluffing as its many events and operations open new surprises and synergies, and prove in more than one way that a card in the hand is worth two or more actions on the table. And as one might expect, in a Data Pack all about bluffing and surprises, Jinteki features prominently, gaining a new identity.

"Last month's ice? My friend, that tech may as well be the horse and buggy, analog recording, fossil fuels, or landline telephones. It's a sharp new world. You need the bleeding edge or nothing!"
–H.E.G. Software Designs
The high-stakes of cybercrime in Android: Netrunner push runners and corporations to find the latest and greatest advancements in stealth and security. The sixty new cards (three copies each of twenty individual cards) in Cyber Exodus deliver. The game's seven factions find upgraded ice, new hardware for runners, new research, and ambushes. Even as the Data Pack's new technology makes each of the factions more efficient, it also derezzes the limits of the possible:

"How do you visualize static? I see thieves prowling the net in slow-motion, their hacks disrupted, crawling down the paths we set before them. The greatest securities don't stop these criminals and their progress but route them where we choose."
–H.O. Murakami, Jinteki network designs
Time is relative. Time can be manipulated.
As part of the Genesis Cycle, A Study in Static focuses on developing each faction's traditional strengths even as it opens up new strategies for players to explore.
With their advancements in ice, icebreakers, and hardware, the Data Pack's sixty new cards (three copies each of twenty individual cards) escalate the game's cyberstruggles to a new form of art. No longer do the factions content themselves to building and breaking snares and subroutines; they turn their attentions to the flow of time itself. So much as time is a matter of perception and of movement, A Study in Static is a study in the ability to accelerate and impede the passage of time.

Hardware and programs drive efficiency, but talent trumps them both in Humanity's Shadow, the fifth Data Pack in the Genesis Cycle! In the future of Android: Netrunner, humans compete for work with bioroids and clones. Business is built as much from programs and hardware as from cash and concrete. To find your way in this tech-centric world, you need to be savvy to the latest upgrades, and you need a good deal of imagination. Humanity's Shadow gives you a chance to get your hands on both the most bleeding edge technology and the talent you need to make it sing.
With a new Criminal identity, a daring new resource, and unique sysops for the Corporations, Humanity's Shadow profiles some of the most talented individuals pulling the strings behind the game's cyberstruggles. New events for the Runners allow you to customize your strategies while the game's Corporations look to increase their security with a more hands-on approach based upon new operations, talented sysops, traces, and traps.

"The stakes have gotten higher than you might have anticipated, Mr. Santiago. We'll continue to support you as long as this partnership remains profitable, but we strongly recommend that you watch your step."
–Mr. Li, broker
As the Genesis Cycle draws to a close, the cyberstruggles of Android: Netrunner escalate to the brink of full-scale war in Future Proof, the cycle's sixth and final Data Pack! Runners have used their new ice and upgraded hardware to launch series after series of runs, and Corps have respond by channeling funds into the development of new ice and server upgrades. In a world where the next, stronger piece of ice or game-changing icebreaker is just several lines of code away, what technologies and strategies can truly stand the test of time?
Future Proof concludes the Genesis Cycle with sixty new cards (three copies each of twenty different cards) that balance the latest upgrades in software with a renewed focus on resources in the meat world. In addition to their innovative new icebreakers, the game's Runners get new resources and events while the Corporations focus on bolstering their servers and developing assets designed for open hostilities. When tricks, traps, and roadblocks don't serve as sufficient deterrents, some Corporations will meet the Runners with swords in hand, ready for virtual duels.

Dating Sabotage-Getting Hooked in Shenpa Causes Breakups
By Hadley Finch
Imagine you're dating someone you really care about, and you see your magical connection growing into a bright, happy future together.
Imagine that your romantic partner suddenly stops being as affectionate as usual.
Or they enter a busy period, when they have less time to be with you.
Or they miss a perfect chance to show their appreciation and make you feel loved.
When someone you care about makes you doubt they care about you, what do you do?
Do you instantly push them away before they disappoint you again?
Do you start fights or stop being affectionate?
Do you test their love to prove that they love you?
Do you break up with them, if they fail your love test?
Do you wish they would fight to win back your love, instead of accepting the breakup?
If any of this sounds familiar, you may be sabotaging love and marriage without even knowing it. You may be unaware of your patterns or habits that cause the same old issues with each romantic partner. Why?
You're hooked in shenpa. And you need to discover how to get unhooked if you want to break the dead-end dating cycle of passionate startups and impulsive breakups of what might have become a great relationship.
So what is shenpa?
I learned about this from meditation expert, Pema Chodron, in a series of lectures. My layman's explanation of shenpa is getting hooked by your hot button issues and having an automatic, often unconscious response of anger or fear to a certain thing that someone says, does, or neglects to do to you.
When someone pushes your shenpa hot button, you respond with a knee-jerk reaction, like lashing out or breaking up. Think of it as an old trauma reflex that prevents future wounding, because you unconsciously build a wall of defense against the trigger behavior that makes you feel anxious, afraid, unloved, insecure, unworthy, maybe even a little crazy.
What is trigger behavior?
The trigger behavior includes words, actions, or neglected actions in a partner that get you hooked in a fearful shenpa response.
Trigger behavior isn't a serious offense like criminal or abusive actions, which never should be tolerated. It's smart to break up when you discover serious character flaws.
Trigger behavior can be a perceived slight or oversight from your romantic partner that instantly hooks you where it hurts and may cause you to break things off with a wonderful partner who has no idea what they did wrong.
How do you get unhooked from shenpa?
The Dalai Lama says the best way to break an unwanted habit is to replace it with something better. To accomplish this, your first step is to identify your hot button triggers and your habitual shenpa response.
Take a moment to ponder the top two or three things a romantic partner says, does, or neglects to do that gets you hooked in fear, doubt, anger, anxiety. Jot them down.
Now that you are aware of your shenpa hot buttons and hooks, your next step is to choose a different response to the trigger behavior, each time someone presses your hot buttons. How?

You can use either vodka or bourbon, & vanilla beans and just let them soak for a long time, weeks I think. I think it will work out way cheaper than buying vanilla in those tiny bottles.

CHOICE says the government's release of draft reforms to the financial advice sector are extremely significant, as they put consumers first and reduce the control of vested industry interests.
The consumer group, which has spent 20 years campaigning to remove conflicts of interests around financial advisors, says the draft legislation means more reliable advice should be available to more Australians at more reasonable prices. The package of reforms helps consumers get the advice they need, relative to life events or life stages such as; family budgets, school fee savings plans, an inheritance, compensation payment or retirement.
"Without these reforms, consumers face the real possibility of paying the higher costs of more general, holistic advice rather than the unbiased expert information they deserve," says Christopher Zinn, CHOICE director of campaigns & communications.
"The package is a major step in putting the industry on track to becoming a profession that provides strategic advice to consumers, rather than mere sellers of financial products that are often not in consumers' best interests, such as the type we saw after the collapses of Storm and Westpoint."
One key area for attention, because of industry lobbying to dilute the reforms, are the opt-in provisions which require advisers to seek a client's consent before on-going fees can automatically be charged.
It is specifically needed to prevent such fees acting like trail commissions which have seen consumers' savings and retirement incomes eroded as a result of bad advice, or even worse, no advice at all.
"For those advice-related businesses that operate like everyone else in the economy, setting out fees, charges and services regularly and and transparently, opt-in is not an issue. It is simply good business practice," says Mr Zinn.
"But for those who have lazily relied on the golden egg of trail commissions as 'money for jam', the opt-in reforms are needed to end such practices."
CHOICE is disappointed opt-in will only apply to new clients after July 2012.
"We are concerned because sections of the industry are talking about signing up as many clients as they can under current rules so they can continue to receive commissions. We urge consumers to be very careful about that," says Zinn.
Many firms are offering professional fees where consumers pay for work performed or agree to fees on an annual basis. CHOICE urges consumers to shop around and find a planner that provides regular accounts so clients can keep track of what advice they are getting and how much they are paying for it.

28 Apr 2011 | The government says the changes will require financial planners to prioritise the interests of their clients.
26 May 2010 | If you get financial advice from any of largest six financial planning groups, there's a good chance you'll end up with investment products offered by the adviser's parent company.

"Expensive, but goood"
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I've always felt the BBEdit was far too expensive, and that it would be more fairly priced if it were in the $50 to $100 range. But when 8.0 came out I was in the middle of a massive website redesign and needed to spend 8 or 10 hours a day in my text editor. I tried 8.0 and realized that it was so good that I would just have to buy it because it was next to indispensible. Luckily I qualified for a student discount, so I got it for a little over $100. It is true that BBEdit is "just a text editor", but if spend a day or two learning its features and customize it to fit your workflow (for example, using the glossaries feature), you will find that it enables you to work in an ultra-efficient, ultra productive way. And as a registered user, Bare Bones gives you excellent support. The list of fixes and additions in 8.0.3 is so long it took me nearly half an hour to read it! And I was delighted to see that both of the major bugs that I reported were fixed in the update. It's hard to imagine how they could make this any better. It's not Cocoa, which was why I never bought the pre-8.0 versions; but in 8.0 the text editing behaviours (line selection etc) exactly match those that I am used to from working in Cocoa editors (like Xcode). So now I can move between the two in total comfort. I have had some crashes, but they've been infrequent, and on the whole the software seems very, very stable.
