Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Expected to Continue Donating to Charity
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the troubled mortgage giants that were recently taken over by the government, are expected to continue donating to charity, the Federal Housing Finance Agency has assured nonprofit groups in the Washington metropolitan area.
The agency — which has been charged with restoring Fannie and Freddie to financial health—said in a letter it is close to finishing a review of the two companies' charitable activities "to ensure that such activities serve their mission and are appropriate to their conservatorship status."
The letter, sent earlier this month by James B. Lockhart III, the agency's director, added: "It is envisioned that the enterprises will continue to make charitable contributions." It did not specify whether those contributions would match current levels.
Mr. Lockhart was responding to a letter from the Center for Nonprofit Advancement and several other Washington nonprofit, grant-making, and government associations. The letter said that the mortgage companies, which contribute to almost 400 local nonprofit groups, are the region's top two donors.
"If these investments were suddenly halted, the ripple effects will move swiftly beyond the scores of unmet needs to impact local government and communities," it said.
Copies of the letters are available on the Center for Nonprofit Advancement's Web site.

City may trim tree-trimming
Here's a picture of an illegally cut tree in the Glassell Park area of Los Angeles, according to the photographer. Though the lack of foliage makes identification a bit tricky, this multilated tree might be a mature ficus tree, much like the verdant and healthy tree further down the block.
That tree -- the healthy one -- is providing the services that green infrastructure offers us in the city; giving shade and protection from urban heat; filtering particulate pollutants from the air; capturing, holding, and filtering a limited amount of rainwater in the soil if it's planted in the sidewalk, and providing a haven and sanctuary for birds, which, if we were near the tree, probably would be going delightedly and noisily about their business.
I bring this up because the city of Los Angeles, with a ballooning budget deficit, may be facing cuts of as many as three thousand jobs and may eliminate city services such as tree trimming.
This is bad news, not just for city employees, but for all the city's residents. These are difficult times for the people of our city, and now, potentially, for the trees of our city as well, because of the threat of damage to our urban forest. In the nearly four decades that TreePeople has been at work in Los Angeles, we have been through several recessions. In bad times, the budget for tree-trimming is reduced, and as a result, tree-trimming is either deferred or the pruning that is done is often much too severe in an attempt to make the pruning last years longer. Trees can be butchered. Many die. Those that do survive lose much of their ability to provide vital and natural urban infrastructure services.
Our trees and urban forest are critical elements of our urban life-support system. This century we are going to have to rethink and rebuild that system. We need to pull together to protect our trees, but we must also recognize that the city as a whole is suffering, and we cannot let this budget struggle become a bureaucratic turf battle. We have to see the big picture.
Last week at an EPA briefing I heard that every year 3,100 people in the South Coast Air Basin die due to microscopic particles in air pollution. (This echoes many previous studies on the same subject, which show that an increase in fine particulates leads to an increase in death.) Once those tiny particulates are in the air, one of the most effective ways to remove them is through trees and shrubs.
But in an era of shrinking budgets, how do we keep our trees healthy and functioning?
The answer will involve some innovation, and possibly some reorganization as well as public-private partnerships. Instead of taxes, we may need to ask our citizens to put their sweat equity into their neighborhood trees, when it is practical and safe to do so.
As our community grapples with budget cuts, since the trees can't speak for themselves we will need to speak for them...and in doing so, for ourselves.

DETROIT — A night that Red Sox hitters strung together 11 hits against reigning Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer and another four against closer Joe Nathan seemed like a night to snap a losing streak.
Instead, as much as Scherzer struggled to look like his typical self on Saturday night at Comerica Park, Jon Lester struggled even more. Detroit tagged Lester for 12 hits and five runs in 4 1/3 innings, racing out to an early lead and holding on for an 8-6 win. It was the fifth straight loss for the Red Sox, who fell seven games under .500 and held steady at 10 games out of first place in the American League East.
The Red Sox rallied for a pair of runs off Nathan in the ninth inning, but Austin Jackson ran down a Stephen Drew fly ball in the gap to strand the tying run at first base.
"I flat-out didn't get it done," Lester said. "I lasted a night where we put up four against Scherzer. That right there — we should win those games when our offense goes out there and gets four on their best guy. I flat-out didn't get it done for these guys."
Saturday marked the first time in his career that Lester has allowed 10 or more hits in a game in which he didn't strike a single hitter out. It was the second time this season he'd failed to get out of the fifth inning. He has a 5.70 ERA in his last four starts — and one of those starts was a gem against Tampa Bay in which he struck out 12 in seven scoreless innings. The ERA of the lefthanded free-agent-to-be now stands at a season-high 3.52.
"For whatever reason, my stuff wasn't really there tonight," he said. "I just didn't have the power, didn't have command. Curveball was loopy. Against a lineup like this, you've got to command the baseball, especially down in the zone. I didn't do that tonight."
Lester got two quick outs in the first inning but then ran into the buzzsaw that is the middle of the Detroit lineup. Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez hit back-to-back doubles, and Torii Hunter followed with a single to give the Tigers a quick 2-0 lead. An inning later, Rajai Davis singled home Austin Jackson on a slow-rolling ground ball through the left side.
An inning after that, Castellanos hammered a fastball over the left-field fence. An inning after that, Suarez hammered a cutter over the left-field fence. By the fifth inning, Lester was gone.
A night after promising to get as hot as "Tent City" — an outdoor prison in his home state of Arizona where temperatures can climb beyond 140 degrees in the summer — Dustin Pedroia homered and singled twice and scored a pair of runs. It was his first home run since May 11.
Making just his second start since May 29, Daniel Nava reached base four times — pushing his on-base percentage for the season from .228 to .258.
In all, the Red Sox reached base 12 times against Scherzer — an encouraging sign for an offense that has been dormant of late.
"That's the Cy Young winner," Pedroia said. "We had some great at-bats. Hopefully that will continue, and we'll find ways to win."

Above all, I hope this pursuit contributes in some manner to the movement for increasing produce consumption.
Last year, an article featured in USA Today credited "a new generation of eaters" (millennials) with bolstering the growing trend for restaurants incorporating more vegetables into their menus.
We can only hope a similar development will be repeated many times over in the retail sector, and that while it's occurring, we in the produce industry know the exact catalyst(s) responsible for the sizable shift.
A Facebook page, Produce From A Millennial, and Twitter account, Produce_Millennial (@produce_Mfactor), have been set up to facilitate a discussion about the topics covered in this column each month. In the meantime — are you a member of the produce industry who has experiential wisdom to impart to younger people breaking into the business?
Or are you a millennial with an opinion on produce?
Either way, let's talk.
Garland Perkins writes a monthly column on the produce industry from the millennial perspective. She works in sales and marketing for The Oppenheimer Group in its Los Angeles office.
What's your take? Leave a comment and tell us your opinion.

The Walled City was once a place out of official control -- people were living with indecent businesses of sex, gambling, and drugs controlled by triad gangs. Cheng Yuan-lung (Kwan Hoi-shan) was a Walled City gambling house boss. He left his sons Chia-chin (Kao Fei) and Chia-kang (Chien Hsiao-hou) to his friend, Chiptooth (Pai Wen-piao), when he was killed. Chia-chin grew up and kept himself away from the sins although he worked as a floor man in a cabaret. However, Chia-kang mixed with a gang of hooligans and made his classmate Mei-ling (Liu Li-ling) pregnant. Mei-ling's father, the fiery-tempered Inspector Chang (Wang Lung-wei), forced Mei-ling to have an abortion, which led to Mei-ling's tragic death by falling off a rooftop accidentally. Inspector Chang couldn't wait to take revenge on Chia-chin and Chia-kang, following unwritten underworld rules...

This rendering shows what Homewood is planning for an open-space area along Martin Avenue north of Ridge Road. | Supplied image
Article Extras
Updated: April 15, 2014 6:12AM
In the face of opposition from some village residents, Homewood trustees have approved a revised design for the village's downtown open space project along Martin Avenue.
The "one-way/two-way" plan will not permanently close a segment of Martin Avenue north of Ridge Road, which was the main complaint of the opponents, who were also concerned about the loss of parking along Martin and a lack of community input on the plan. Some also doubted that the small green would be successful.
Economic development director Paula Wallrich said the village returned to an earlier design after trustees failed to approve the permanent closing of Martin Avenue at a village board meeting last month and after hearing residents' further opposition at a March 3 public hearing.
The project will involve streetscape improvements along Martin such as benches, seasonal planters and new trees and streetlights. It will maintain the current one-way traffic pattern on Martin north of Ridge Road to a roundabout, where two-way traffic would resume, allowing access to businesses on the east and west sides of the street.
Rather than closing Martin Avenue for a few hundred feet north of Ridge, that section will only be closed temporarily for special events.
Trustee Ann Colton was the single dissenting vote Tuesday night against the revised plan, saying she remains uncomfortable with the timing of the project. Trustees Barbara Dawkins, Lisa Purcell, Jay Heiferman and Ray Robertson voted in favor, and Trustee Tom Kataras was absent.
The cost of the project is about $490,000 for the stretch north of Ridge Road, including the roundabout, and nearly $200,000 for the area south of Ridge.
Homewood will cover most of the project with about $500,000 from a special taxing district, money that must be earmarked by the end of 2014 or forfeited, Wallrich said. Construction is expected to begin in the fall.

Help: Tattoo Ideas!! - page 4
Okay guys....i just graduated from school and am a real CRNA now. I am very excited and proud to be doing what I'm doing. I was thinking lately of getting a tattoo related to medicine/anesthesia. ... Read More
2Jul 2, '08 by WVUturtle514I'm actually going to agree with JWK on this one. I don't think tattoos evoke professionalism and I think it can give some people the wrong impression of your abilities and education. Unfounded? Yes, but still likely. I think the choice to get a tattoo is a personal decision, but also a very PERMANENT one. I know many, many people who have gotten tattoos and loved them......until about 10 years or so down the road and then they say, "Why did I do that?" I think if you choose to get a tattoo it needs to be non-visible at all times while working.....I can't imagine that a tattoo on your wrist would NEVER be visible, even if you wear a watch. I always hear people say, "Well I'm going to get the tattoo where no one can see it." Well, my question is: If no one can see it, then what is the point of having it? Just doesn't make sense to me. Good luck with your decision!Qwiigley and premedturnednursing like this.
3Jul 2, '08 by AtheosTattoos aren't necessarily for showing off. Of course in scrubs you might not see them but in shorts and a sleeveless tee they are on display. Besides, the point of a tattoo is to decorate yourself with something that you feel important enough to make permanent. It's not for other people.
1Jul 3, '08 by deannicholasQuote from SRNA11While his/her comment was not worded as nicely as it should have been, I think that most people (silent majority, flyover states, red states) whatever you might call them, would agree with his statement. It might be unfair, uncool, close-minded or whatever, but our society isn't at the point yet where its members are ready to see their judges, politicians, doctors lawyers etc. walking around all tatted up. It is still too associated with bikers, strippers and horny college kidsi appreciate the for comment... however, the tattoo will be completely covered by a watch when i am working. actually i know a number of fabulous surgeons, doctors, and anesthesia professionals (and i work at a very highly ranked and elite hospital) that have visible tattoos and I truly don't think patients think they are unprofessional because of it. I think your comment was a bit harsh and unwarrented.Qwiigley likes this.
0Jul 4, '08 by yeSICUWhen it is common place to hear a tattoo located on the lower back of a female referred to as a "tramp stamp", I would say that tattoos are not quite in the widely socially accepted category yet (esp. for women I dare to say). Ultimately it is your choice, but it is not without possible prejudice. More importantly, your patient population needs to feel safe and in the care of a professional. There are generational/religious/social gaps that are very real, and while in the ivory tower everyone judges everybody in a fair and just manner the real world just isn't like that. Just my two cents.
Congratz btw! Awesome accomplishment! -
2Jul 6, '08 by skipawayQuote from SRNA11JWK, the OP asked for ideas, not judgements. That's why this CRNA gave her 2 ideas.I was thinking lately of getting a tattoo related to medicine/anesthesia.
I need help coming up with ideas.
any help would be awesome!!!LfmVigilo and Nurse Salt like this. -
0Jul 6, '08 by JettaDPQuote from jwkIs that really fair? What does job title have to do with anything? I'm not a CRNA. I'm not even a nurse yet. I don't start NS until this fall. Does that mean I am/will be unprofessional or lack good judgement because I don't have a Masters degree yet? As many have pointed out, they have seen doctors and advanced practice nurses with visable tattoos. So again I ask you, what does job title have to do with anything?It's interesting that, except for the OP, very few anesthetists have posted in response to the question posed, and the few that have seem to be generally opposed to the idea of visible tattoos.
2Jul 6, '08 by jwkQuote from spring05Re-read my posts, #4, #9, and especially #13.Is that really fair? What does job title have to do with anything? I'm not a CRNA. I'm not even a nurse yet. I don't start NS until this fall. Does that mean I am/will be unprofessional or lack good judgement because I don't have a Masters degree yet? As many have pointed out, they have seen doctors and advanced practice nurses with visable tattoos. So again I ask you, what does job title have to do with anything?
Clearly many of you see no problems with tattoos, visible or otherwise, in professionals. Fine. You have your opinion, I have mine. I'll just leave it with this...
Here's what many of you want to argue and/or choose to ignore - when it comes to hiring, you don't get to make the decisions, and your opinion doesn't count. The only person whose opinion counts from an employment perspectice is the person who says "hire her", or "hire him", or "don't hire her" or "don't hire him. It's as simple as that. You can ramble on all you want about "it's my body, it's my right". Keep on ramblin'.
Chances are, you probably won't even know why you weren't hired, even if you ask. There is no obligation for any employer to tell you why someone else was hired and you weren't. Like it or not, it's our call, not yours. It's that simple.Qwiigley and premedturnednursing like this.

Salestrom's pro-Colorado catalogue isn't totally inspired by a love for the high country, however. For the past five years, he's made a name, and a good portion of his living, as a globe-trotting musical pitchman for the state's ski industry, using his songs to draw tourists to the lifts and the lodges. When Salestrom wraps up a promotional stint in far-flung locations such as Buenos Aires or Berlin, he sends the bills directly to the accounting departments of destination resorts like Beaver Creek and Keystone.
Nice work if you can get it.
"I guess some people would look at that and think I'm a bit of a whore for doing it," Salestrom admits. "Maybe it's wrong, but it works for me. It seems to make people happy, and it satisfies my urge to capture a feeling about a beautiful place. It's also something people can listen to and go, 'Wow, I'd like to go see what that place is all about.'"
Allen Palmer of Vail Resorts says Salestrom is a key weapon in his company's sales arsenal. "He's very valuable to us," Palmer says. "He draws people in so we can sell to them. He's really our first line of attack."
Since 1994, Salestrom has done trade shows on behalf of Vail Resorts (which owns the Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Vail and Keystone ski areas) and Ski USA, a collective that attracts international clients to America's mountains. Getting foreign skiers to the States is important: A Breckenridge staffer reports that about 13 percent of that facility's visitors are international. To attract them, Salestrom has taken more than fifty trips overseas, logging 300,000 flight miles on his way to England, Scotland, Hawaii, Brazil, Argentina, Australia and other distant lands.
"Jim gets up there, and they see this local character, this songwriter singing from the heart. It gives more realism to their learning experience about Colorado," Palmer says. "Jim loves what he does; that's why people believe him more than they believe me."
Salestrom's music also helps his employers cut through the din of large-scale conventions, where they compete with everything from standard sales-booth presentations to airborne daredevils soaring on man-made powder. His shtick gives show attendees cause to pause for a moment.
"I'm a part of the sales team," Salestrom says. "I'm a liaison between the people who are walking by and the people who are trying to hand you a brochure and talk to you about it. A lot of my work takes place during the breaks -- talking to people, telling them about what it's like here." Fortunately for him, it's an easy sell. "I really love the mountains. I love skiing. It's easy for me to tell people that it's pretty here and geared toward people that want to be outside and have fun."
At his convention shows, Salestrom plays a mix of acoustic background music, original tunes and covers by singer-songwriters including John Denver, Harry Chapin and Don McLean. He also offers American rock standards by Buddy Holly, Elvis and others. His own songs are packed with idyllic mountain images in which Coloradans run through glades of green with flowers in their snow-kissed hair and love in their hearts: "Genuine Colorado," commissioned by the City of Breckenridge, sings the praises of life in that town; "Where the Mountains Touch the Sky" (from Salestrom's 1994 CD, The Great Adventure) reminds listeners that "it's clearer here where the air is thin and you start to realize/You were born for the mountains." Some of the songs come across as sentimental chamber-of-commerce greeting cards. That's the whole idea.
"I've written songs that sound like commercials, but they're heartfelt," says Salestrom. "I tend to try to write things that have multiple use, by design, with an eye toward making a buck and supporting what I do. If it works as a song and as a commercial, I don't see anything wrong with that."
Salestrom spends about two months a year traveling as a musical marketer. When he's not on the road, he tours the state and the country and spends time with his wife and family in Denver and Breckenridge, the two towns he now calls home. (He still loves Breckenridge, but he says it's "gotten real expensive and glittery. But the people that live here are really hardy. They're strong, strong-minded and opinionated, and I'm really grateful to a lot of them.") He occasionally snags a choice non-Colorado-related gig: Recently, he performed one of his songs, "We're Americans, We Want Peace," for members of the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, D.C.
Many of Salestrom's for-hire tunes work well in non-trade-show settings, a fact that helps him straddle the line between art and commerce. "People who paint -- if they find out that people like daisies in their paintings, they keep putting daisies in their paintings," he says. "I don't think that's wrong. It's all about finding your style and finding a way to support something you really love. But my heart's in it. I love what I do. I'm not just doing it to please somebody with a paycheck. Nine times out of ten, that doesn't work."

The City of Santa Clarita gears up for it's annual Street Art Festival to be held in Old Town Newhall.
The City of Santa Clarita will be holding its 4th Annual Street Art Festival Saturday, September 27, and Sunday, September 28, on Main Street in Old town Newhall.
The Street Art Festival is a cultural showcase of local artists, vendors and entertainers, and has been an in-demand community event since 2004.
The festivities will kick-off with the Canyon Theatre Guild's annual Gala fundraiser Friday night with a suave, spy-influenced "Casino Royale" theme, and will continue outside Saturday and Sunday. Attendees can expect live entertainment and music, dance performances, arts and crafts vendors, and the unique opportunity to watch street artists begin and complete their artwork throughout the day.
The festival will be stretched over five blocks on Main Street between 5th street and Lyons Avenue. Along with vendors and the street art block, this year's festival will include a new brand-new "pop art" block, dedicated to the high school and college-aged crowd.
"We really want to draw in a audience we've been missing," said Phil Lantis, arts and events administrator for the City of Santa Clarita. The pop art block will feature "really cool art methods that aren't really traditional 'paint-on-canvas' or street paintings." One of the pieces displayed will be a car painted by different artists.
The "community stage" and "music stage" will be combined this year to make space for the pop art block.
Continuing with a tradition established last year, the "Art on Canvas" competition will be open once again to students of all ages, as well as professionals. Three judges will determine 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners in the K-4, 5-8 and 9-12 grade categories, and each submission will be displayed in the Art on Canvas Gallery.For more information about entering in the competition, visit http://www.streetartfest.com/canvas.asp to download an application for participation.
Hours of the Street Art Festival are 10 am-9 pm Saturday, and 10 am-6 pm Sunday. For more information about the festival, visit www.streetartfest.com.

Based on a novel by popular children's author Diana Wynne Jones, Howl's Moving Castle is the third Hayao Miyazaki feature to receive a theatrical release in the U.S. Displaying many of Miyazaki's signature themes and effects, the film tells a dense, complicated story in a challenging style. Spirited Away, his last picture, won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature, and as his reputation grows, Miyazaki draws more fans into his intricate, unpredictable works.
Miyazaki's fans sometimes refer to his film's settings as "neverwhen" worlds. Howl's Moving Castle takes place in a vaguely European mountainous region marked by both Alpine meadows and grimy industrial towns. In a small room off her mother's millinery store, young Sophie (voiced by Emily Mortimer) sews flowers on hats. While threats of war escalate in the background, and shop girls gossip about the wizard Howl (Christian Bale) who roams the countryside in search of hearts to steal, Sophie worries over her purpose in life. Pursued by menacing "blob" men on a street, she is rescued by a handsome man who dances her over the rooftops of the city. The encounter changes Sophie's life in ways she never expected.
Her rescuer turns out to be Howl, and his enemy, the Witch of the Wasteland (Lauren Bacall), takes an instant dislike to Sophie. She casts a spell which ages the girl into an elderly woman (voiced by Jean Simmons). To restore her youth, Sophie must find a cure from Howl without telling him what happened (one of the conditions of the spell).
Sophie moves into Howl's castle, a hulking pile of cast-off metal parts and abandoned houses that is powered by Calcifer (Billy Crystal), a demon who lives in the fireplace. To resolve her fate, she will travel backward and forward in time, befriend a bouncing scarecrow with a turnip's head, learn to fly, and discover the tragic secret to Howl's life.
With its physical transformations and liberal, antiwar politics, Howl's Moving Castle would seem to fit in well with Miyazaki's other films. The director's grasp of animation techniques is as impressive as the depth and substance of his imaginary worlds. The changing weather, complex patterns of motion, lustrous color schemes and remarkable architecture envelop viewers, almost compensating for the thin plotting. The animator and his crew, many of whom have been working with him for 20 years, expertly juggle scenes of matter-of-fact magic, gentle humor and icy terror. Still, Miyazaki has trouble resolving some of the more prosaic elements of Jones' book. Fans may not mind the clichéd plot turns, while others can lose themselves in Miyazaki's bravura action passages. It's wonderful watching Howl's castle crumble at one point, even if the reasons behind it are trite.
Along with the English version, which has been expertly cast and recorded, Disney is releasing a subtitled Japanese version in select markets. The inevitable differences between the films actually don't amount to much-perhaps the Japanese Calcifer (Tatsuya Gashuin) is a bit more spirited than Billy Crystal, but both are charming. The two versions simply confirm that Miyazaki is one of the world's master animators.

Updated: November 19, 2012 6:58PM
A 75-year-old Crete woman who suffers from dementia and who had been missing for more than a week was found unharmed Monday, according to Will County sheriff's police.
She was located in Sauk Village, and initial reports indicate she was to be reunited with family members Monday evening, police said. Details of her whereabouts and how she was located were not immediately available, police said.
Marija E. Niksich, who also has used the name Marija Dosen, last had been seen by her daughter about 6 a.m. Nov. 8 at their residence in the 24200 block of South Walden Lane, police said. A Chicago pastor said Niksich was seen Thursday at a Walgreens and a McDonald's near 92nd Street and Commercial Avenue in Chicago.
Niksich's daughter searched for her mother on her own before notifying police Sunday morning, police said. Niksich had been known to walk from her home to businesses on Sauk Trail and Torrence Avenue in Sauk Village, police said.
Before she went missing, she was overheard saying she wanted to be with fellow Croations at 96th Street and Commercial Avenue in Chicago, police said. She has ties to Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 2864 E. 96th St., police said.

Can I grow Geraniums from seed? How?
Collect the seeds before the 'cranesbill' part curls back and expels the seeds, but after the pod is dry. The timing can be tricky. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place. Chill or freeze seed for 4-6 weeks to help break their dormancy. Sow the seeds 1/2" deep and keep moist. Most varieties will bloom the second year from seed.Entered by Butterfly_Girl

I know you just want to stand up for your teammate, but the guy has 11 inches on the dude he's "fighting." Not to mention, maybe he shouldn't get so upset about a guard trying to steal the ball from him, since that is pretty much his job. Considering he's 7-foot-3, you'd think an easy way to keep the ball safe would just be to hold it over his head, like an eighth grader keeping a ball away from a third grader.
Plus, Juwan Howard, by just rushing in there and pushing JaVale McGee all willy nilly old-timer style, you're going to get suspended. 63-year-old men should not be getting suspended, even though I understand that that's how they played basketball back in the 1940s. Sorry, Juwan Howard, but basketball players are not "cagers" anymore. This is the 2010s, man. You're going to throw your back out.

Graduate Certificate in Business Analytics
Data is potential
And that data is accumulating. It's on the cloud, on your servers, in your data warehouse, on your laptop. Never before has data been so abundant, so accessible, yet so underutilized.
How does this translate to your career? Job security. There are more jobs that require these skills than people to fill them—not just in Iowa, but also regionally and globally.
That's where we come in.
Our five-course Business Analytics Certificate helps you make sense of your data, however big or small. The program is delivered by University of Iowa's world-class faculty and nationally ranked business school. It's designed for all professionals—regardless of your role, title, or industry—with a focus on impacting business decisions.
Our teaching philosophy
What separates analytics from business analytics is understanding how data can create value. The course work approaches big data by asking three questions:
What Happened?
Why did I lose customers? Why did our yield change?
Data Mining
What will happen?
Who is most likely to contribute to my campaign?
What do I do about it?
How can I use data to target new customers?

Mary-Kate Olsen
Mary-Kate Olsen | |
Olsen attending the premiere of The Union at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2011
Born | Sherman Oaks, California, U.S. |
June 13, 1986
Occupation | Actress (1987–2012), fashion designer, author, producer, businesswoman |
Years active | 1987–present |
Partner(s) | Olivier Sarkozy (engaged 2014) |
Relatives | Ashley Olsen (twin sister) Elizabeth Olsen (sister) |
Mary-Kate Olsen (born June 13, 1986)[1] is an American actress, fashion designer, producer, author, and businesswoman. She co-founded luxury fashion brands The Row, Elizabeth and James, and the more affordable lines Olsenboye and StyleMint alongside her twin sister Ashley Olsen. Olsen pursued acting independently as an adult until 2012.[2]
Birth and family[edit]
Olsen was born in Sherman Oaks, California, the daughter of Jarnette "Jarnie" (née Jones;[3] b. 1954), a personal manager, and David "Dave" Olsen, a real estate developer and mortgage banker.[4] Along with her twin, Ashley, she has an older brother, Trent; a younger sister, Elizabeth (who is also an actress), and two other siblings from her father's second marriage to McKenzie.[2] Olsen's parents divorced in 1996.[5]
Along with Ashley, Olsen was cast at the age of nine months to share the role of Michelle Tanner on the ABC sitcom Full House. The Olsen twins portrayed Michelle throughout the series' 1987–95 run. In the early 1990s, she and Ashley established a company, Dualstar, which produced a long string of TV movies and direct-to-video releases featuring the girls. The Olsens continued to release direct-to-video films up to the early 2000s, along with starring in the 1995 feature film It Takes Two. In 1997, the Olsen twins guest starred in an episode of Sister, Sister, alongside fellow twin actresses Tia Mowry and Tamera Mowry. After Full House, the sisters starred in two other sitcoms (Two of a Kind and So Little Time) and an animated series (Mary-Kate and Ashley in Action!). The former lasted one season while the latter ran for two seasons. These ventures, combined with an array of licensing deals for their names and likenesses, made Olsen wealthy at a young age. In 2004, Olsen's wealth was estimated at $137 million.[6]
Olsen and her sister became co-presidents of Dualstar upon their eighteenth birthday. Olsen's first solo acting appearance was in the movie Factory Girl, released in December 2006. Olsen's one short scene was ultimately cut from theatrical release, but was included on the film's DVD. In 2007, the sisters said that if they became involved in movies together again it would be as producers.[7] Olsen had a recurring role on Weeds as Tara Lindman.[8] She appears in the 2008 film The Wackness as Union. At the Sundance Film Festival, co-star and Academy Award–winner Sir Ben Kingsley praised her.[citation needed]
Olsen made a one-episode appearance in 2008 on the ABC comedy Samantha Who?, playing a self-destructive girl whom Samantha tries to help while doing community service.[9] Olsen appeared in the movie Beastly, which was based on the book of the same name by Alex Flinn.[10] Olsen signed on to play Stacey in the movie Story of a Girl, but the movie appears to have been put on hold.[11]
In March 2012, she and Ashley expressed an interest in quitting acting for good in order to focus on their fashion career,[12] including the opening of a fashion shop,[13] as she considers fashion, rather than acting, as her future.[14]
In 2004, both Ashley and Mary-Kate became co-presidents of their company Dualstar (created in 1993 following the success of Full House), the brand currently selling in over 3,000 stores in America and 5,300 stores worldwide. Their success has been marked on Forbes The Celebrity 100 list since 2002, and in 2007 Forbes ranked the twins as the eleventh-richest women in entertainment, with an estimated combined net worth of $100 million.[15]
Following a high volume of public interest in their fashion choices, the sisters began work in collaboration on a string of fashion lines available to the public. Starting as young girls, the Olsen twins started a clothing line in Wal-Mart stores across America for girls ages 4 to 14 as well as a beauty line called "Mary-Kate and Ashley: Real fashion for real girls". In 2004 they made news by signing a pledge to allow all the workers that sew their line of clothing in Bangladesh full maternity leave. The National Labor Committee, which organized the pledge, later praised the twins for their commitment to worker rights.[16]
In 2006, in an attempt to gain credibility in the fashion industry after their association with Wal-Mart tarnished their reputations, they were tapped as the faces of the upscale fashion line Badgley Mischka.[17]
As adults, the Olsen twins have devoted much of their attention to the world of fashion. They head a couture fashion label, "The Row," as well as "Elizabeth and James", "Olsenboye", and "StyleMint"[18] retail collections. Mary-Kate's sometimes controversial fashion choices have often found her on both the best[19][20] and worst dressed fashion lists, particularly for her decision to wear fur.[21] Mary-Kate and Ashley designed an Olsenboye Change Purse in 2011 and donated the money to "Pennies From Heaven".[22]
In 2011, Mary-Kate and Ashley teamed up with TOMS Shoes to design footwear for kids without shoes in more than 20 countries worldwide.[23] Mary-Kate and Ashley are now the creative directors for Superga (brand).[24] Mary-Kate and Ashley released an Elizabeth and James perfume in Spring 2013.[25] The girls won the top prize at the 2012 CFDA Fashion Awards.[26] StyleMint is now available in the UK.[27]
In October 2012, Mary-Kate and Ashley won the WSJ magazine Innovator of The Year Award.[28]
In 2008, the Olsen twins co-authored Influence, a book featuring interviews with fashion designers that have inspired the twins' fashion lines.[29]
Personal life[edit]
In 2004, Olsen graduated from Campbell Hall School and began attending New York University with Ashley. Both of them withdrew from NYU the following year, a few months apart, and returned to California. Also in 2005, Olsen ended her romance with Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos III. "I miss him and I adore him," Olsen said. "It's a hurtful and a painful subject." When asked if there was a specific reason for her leaving NYU, she replied, "I think we can all guess."[30]
Olsen dated Maxwell Snow, the younger brother of the late New York-based artist Dash Snow, from September 2006 until mid-2007.[31] In 2008, Olsen dated artist Nate Lowman. The two split in February 2010.[1] In May 2012, Olsen began dating Olivier Sarkozy, half brother of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who is also 17 years her senior.[32] On March 2, 2014, it was reported that Olsen and Sarkozy were engaged.[33]
Health issues[edit]
In mid-2004, Olsen announced she had entered treatment for an eating disorder, anorexia nervosa.[34] A Got Milk? ad featuring the twins was pulled following the announcement.[35][36] On November 20, 2007, she was hospitalized for a reported kidney infection.[37]
Death of Heath Ledger[edit]
Mary-Kate was a close friend of late actor Heath Ledger.[38][39][40] After discovering Ledger unconscious in his bed in January 2008, his masseuse called Olsen twice before contacting police. Olsen sent a private security guard to the scene.[41]
Responding to a claim by an anonymous law enforcement official that she would not speak to federal investigators without a promise of legal immunity, Olsen's attorney Michael C. Miller said, "We have provided the government with relevant information including facts in the chronology of events surrounding Mr. Ledger's death and the fact that Ms. Olsen does not know the source of the drugs Mr. Ledger consumed".[42]

The B.C. New Democrats need to look beyond "ridiculous" gender rules and focus on finding the best possible person to lead the party to an election win, a local party stalwart said Sunday.
"I think it's time we get past that," said Ruth Fane, a veteran party member and president of the Kamloops-South Thompson riding. "It's quite ridiculous. A lot of our gender rules are."
The Daily News asked Fane to respond to decade-old provisions in the NDP constitution requiring both genders must be represented in the jobs of party leader, president and treasurer.
The current president is Moe Sihota and the treasurer is Bob Smits. Carole James steps down as leader later this month. She announced her resignation Dec. 6 after 13 of her 34 MLA caucus rallied against her.
Speculation is the next leader of the party will have to be a woman unless Sihota or Smits step down.
Fane said she wouldn't be surprised if some in the party demand gender equality at the top.
"With the NDP, you never know. There are certain elements within the party that will get up and say (Sihota and Smits) got to resign first or these guys can't even put their name forward," she said.
Fane believes the party needs to stop worrying about equality and concentrate on the leadership race. She said the goal should be electing the man or woman who can best lead the party.
If that leader ends up being a man and party members are upset it wasn't a woman then "they shouldn't have drummed out the perfectly good female leader we had," she said.
Tom Friedman, the party's candidate in Kamloops-South Thompson in the last election, doesn't believe gender equality will be an issue. He suspects the party will elect the best candidate and sort out the president and treasurer jobs after.
"I think we'll be electing the best person no matter the gender," said Friedman, adding the situation is unique.
He said the NDP crafted gender rules as a way to encourage more women to participate in politics, but was unaware it applied to the leader, president and treasurer.
NDP provincial government representative David Schreck publicized the gender clause on his Twitter account on Friday.
The rules may also apply to the interim leader, who will be selected by the NDP caucus later this month, said Sihota.
"We're seeking some advice on that," Sihota said Saturday. He wouldn't speculate on whether he or Smits would resign if caucus selected a male as interim leader.
NDP officials will discus the situation next week, he said. The interim, leader will head the party until a leadership vote April 17.
All the NDP MLAs who have said they are considering running for the leadership are men. Federal NDP MP Peter Julian is expected to announce his leadership intentions next week. Marijuana activist Dana Larsen announced his bid for leader last week.
The NDP's gender provisions also include a requirement that at least 50 per cent of the vice-presidents, members at large, regional members and youth representatives be women.
The party has made a point of enshrining gender equality in its rules, including designating more than one-third of the ridings women in the 2009 provincial election. Twelve of the 34 NDP MLAs are women.

At the time when small screen is dominated by saas-bahu melodrama, a unique 7-week short feature taking about entrepreneurship in the remote areas of the country is all set to hit the screen.
But what not many are aware of is the fact that this feature is the brainchild of another creative Allahabadi, Kanchan Ghosh. "It is a short film by the name, 'Motor-mechanic Phulwa ki kamaal Kahani', which talks about how a young girl in the remotest area of Bihar manages to become a big entrepreneur despite so many constrains," shares writer and director of the feature Kanchan, adding, "In our society where no body wants to take a risk to become an entrepreneur, this is an inspiring feature for our young generations to go for entrepreneurship instead of cribbing and running after jobs.
The lead role of this feature has been given to a young girl, Ankita Srivastava, and she has done a great job in terms of acting. In fact, a lot of new faces have been given a break in this feature."
Kanchan has also worked as casting director in many other features earlier including Ananda ( TV series), Eight Miles High, Return to Rajapur and Elephant Boy (all features.)

The chefs, both rookies and veterans, past participants and new blood, move around the room, stopping to joke with each other and fifty guests, most of whom are experiencing their first 50top dinner. There are rules for both chefs and guests. "We ask guests to bring their own place settings, leave their cell phones behind, take pictures, put aside their crap, don't complain, have fun and, once they've left — hopefully happy, drunk and full — to spread the word about Denver restaurants," says Fader.
Chefs are asked not to don any kitchen garb. "No coats, no clogs and no chef pants are allowed," insists Fader. "All the other events we do are about us — we have to wear our chef's jackets — but when we do 50top, it's about continuing to build a food-driven community and ensuring that Denver never loses its cowtown charm. It's about throwing down, geeking out and cooking and talking about food. There really isn't a lot of separation between the chefs and the guests. It's a bit like the school dance, where the boys are on one side, the girls on the other, and eventually all the uncomfortableness melts away."
Fader thinks there needs to be more accountability — and more conversations — between chefs and the public, especially, in light of the numerous street-journalism sites where just about anyone can comment on or review a restaurant. "I want to make it very clear that I don't want to exclude anyone, but while I'm all for people broadcasting their opinions on websites like Yelp, for example, a lot of those people are completely uninformed and misguided and honestly don't know what they're talking about," Fader says. "That's one reason why it's so important to have a venue where we can chat with people and where there's one-on-one contact with the same chefs that some of these people are talking about. We want that open discourse."
But make no mistake: These dinners aren't for everyone. There's a significant degree of trust that has to go along with the clandestine magic that unfurls when a mob of badass chefs have control over your dinner. This is not a restaurant; it's not the place to be picky. So if the thought of eating pig's ears frightens you, proceed directly to the exit sign and don't pass Fader on your way out the door. If you're anti-social and the mere thought of sitting with complete strangers makes you reach for your Xanax, go back to your couch. If you routinely read health-department inspection reports and believe that a restaurant that leaves its salt and pepper shakers in the sink should be seized and burned to the ground, then you may as well dig your own grave.
It's nearly 7 p.m. by the time Fader grabs the bullhorn and shouts, "Sit your ass down!" A couple who brought an entire picnic basket filled with just about everything but their kitchen cabinets are admiring their setup. Another couple has brought pie tins as their dinner trays. One woman has busted out her grandmother's china. All the plates are soon loaded: The chefs have cooked enough food for fifty caravans of gypsies, all served family style. The menu is longer than the Declaration of Independence. There are deviled eggs, crispy pig-trotter terrine and foie gras hot dogs from Steuben's (Biederman); Szechuan spiced duck confit with fingerling potatoes from TAG (Guard); Parmesan gnocchi with lamb-shoulder ragout and Brussels sprouts with cherries, pecans, bacon and lavender yogurt from Vesta (Selby) and Venue (Rugile); crispy pig's ears drizzled with Steuben's housemade hot sauce and buttermilk-fried rabbit saddles and leg of rabbit stew from Tambien (Yontz); and the star of the show, a vat of cassoulet from Laird (Barolo Grill) that's the size of a small Winnebago. As the cart comes careening around our corner of the table, the sight of pig, pig and more pig turns into a religious epiphany for at least one person, who clasps her hands together and squeals, "Praise the lard!"
Suddenly a booming voice silences her squeal — and this time it's not Fader's. Former Denver restaurateur and mad Englishman Mel Master is in the house. Master, who left Denver for the East Coast last year after decades of commanding one of the best restaurant runs this city has ever seen, has a few words of his own for the chefs, some of whom once worked in the kitchen at Mel's Bar and Grill, the Cherry Creek restaurant that Mel and his wife, Janie, turned into a beloved classic. "These extraordinary chefs are here for no gain whatsoever," says Master. "They're sending a message that I hope we can spread through whatever means possible — even Facebook, whatever that is — a message that friendship, food and wine is what makes us happy when things are fucked up."
It's an extraordinary dinner on every level, and the chefs know it. "These dinners totally rule," says Selby, who can barely contain his enthusiasm. "They keep us all cracking jokes, and they're such a great way to say thank you to our customers, the people who support us and force us to always do better."

I am nor's elder daughter. I live in Raanana. I work two jobs, one outside the home as secretary at a VC fund, and one from home as assistant to a book publisher. I have two teenage daughters. I enjoy cooking but get frustrated searching for food that suits the whole family - I'm on a diet, one daughter is vegetarian, the other is lactose intolerant and sensitive to a variety of foods (white flour products, white rice, salmon....) my husband is fine with most food but doesn't understand why we 3 girls like broccoli and brussel sprouts!!! :-), 3 of us prefer dairy food and we have a more-or-less kosher home... and I'm meant to be getting ready for work.... what am I doing here??@@$$!!
I love cheeses, especially high fat (but don't often eat them....) I like eating them fresh and also using them for cooking quiches etc., goats cheese has a great flavour and aroma.... but I really do need to go to work....

This GREAT post by Kevin Kelly, author of The Technium blog, landed in my e-mail because I subscribe to Seth Godin's blog. You should read the WHOLE thing, but in case you're short of time - here's the gist.
The LONG TAIL has created a situation where even the smallest artist (read nonprofit) can gain access to fans (donors) cheaply and efficiently. Why? Because inexpensive technologies, like blogs, websites, social networking platforms, online video, podcasts, and e-mail, enables artists (nonprofits) to market (fundraise) for little or no monetary cost.
In other words, if you are a poor and/or new artist (charity) you don't have to wait to get a record deal (big foundation grant) in order to succeed. And you don't have to land on American Idol (get covered in the Times) to become a success. You can simply get online via a blog, Facebook page, YouTube video and slowly but surely find Your True FANS (DONORS).
I like Kelly's thesis so much because, aside from saving us all money, finding and nurturing relationships with a SMALLER number of folks is a much more rewarding way to work. Instead of treating prospective donors as anonymous checkbooks, it gives you the opportunity to have CONVERSATIONS with supporters and develop REAL connections.
That said, "micro-marketing" may not work for all charities. Maybe your advocacy strategy requires a mass market approach, i.e. 1 million signatures to get a bill passed. However, for most of us finding and nurturing 1,000 true donors is probably the best strategy. Try it. What have you got to lose?

It brings me great pleasure to inform you all that I've gone on another successful date with Scar Twin. After our first date, where I oh-so-gracefully mimicked JLaw's Oscars fall on my way up the stairs at the night's end, I was eager to redeem myself on date No. 2, and I can pretty confidently say that I did.

If you're running an Ivy Bridge or Sandy Bridge laptop on the other hand, it might be time for an upgrade to get faster Intel graphics and greater power efficiency.

Comedian/restaurateur Will White on his paleo-diet truck, Kickstarter and standup
Will White at the Deer Pile. |
Once our Kickstarter succeeds (which it will), we will be on the 16th Street Mall seven days per week. The Downtown Denver Partnership will determine the exact location, but we're hoping for 16th and California. For now, we'll regularly have our food truck at places that we think are great. Thursday nights we're at Black Shirt Brewery on 37th and Walnut. Friday nights we're at Infinite Monkey Theorem, an incredible urban winery on 32nd and Larimer. Saturday night and Sundays we're always at Mile High Spirits, which is kind of our home away from these days, on 29th and Larimer. We also cater quite a bit, from private parties to office lunches to weddings, so you can always hire us to come to you.
How do you feel Caveman stands out from Denver's booming mobile food scene?
The mobile food scene in Denver is incredible, and we are so proud to be a part of it. Obviously, we stand out as the only food truck that specializes in a paleo approach to eating, which is also gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, etc.... In other words, if we cater your event, you don't have to worry about peanut allergies, lactose intolerance, etc.... Everything is paleo, and thus has no allergens by default. This makes things easier for party planners who don't have to worry about dietary restrictions anymore.
Most important, our food is so delicious that nobody will miss the gluten-laden sugar bombs that most food services provide anyway! And since people know that they are eating healthy, they can loosen up and drink a bit more, which makes any party better!

Interested in seeing White perform standup? He'll be at Comedy Works in Larimer Square on Wednesday, February 6, as part of the Funny Final Four showcase. (Full disclosure: This writer is performing on the same show.)

Hello michin:
Welcome to HP forum. Wow this is not supposed to happen. Lets start with sleep mode setting to begin with. Left click your mouse any where on your screen. Goto personalize click it. Click on screen saver icon. Change the wait time 20+ minutes. Then right below that click on Change power settings. Next window under Select a power plan select high performance. On the left side click on Choose when to turn off display. Next window set the settings like this:
Dim the display 10 minutes Click on upside triangle to this.
Turn off the display 15 minutes
Put computer to sleep Never
Adjustment plain brightest Move slider to far right Maximum. You can still use the dimmer keys afterwards.
Click save changes. Now close out all opened windows. Finished.
Now we have to figure out why your computer media is allowing for shutting down. Lets try running a pc tune up and than we will run disk defragmenter and disck clean up and see if this resolves the media issue. Open up HP Support Assistant. Click on maintain. Click on Tune up. Next window click on view settings. Next window click on Click here to display (Bar).....
Put a ckeck mark in all display boxes check mark apply then click on OK. Next window click on Tune up now.
After this is completed close it out. Now goto accessories then click on system tools Cick on disk defragmenter click on Analyzed disk then when it finished click or Defragment disk. When finished close it.
Now go back and open up disk clean up. Click on Ok and follow directions given. Hopefully this will fix the issue. If not then you need to tell up what program you were using so we can help reinstall it again.

To be honest, I didn't see Jennifer Lopez perform on New Year's Eve because I chose to take a nap before the ball and Georgia Peach dropped. Her shrieks about Louboutins did infiltrate my sleep, however. Even though I had a really great nap before 2009 ended, I kicked myself for missing that ill-fitting and age-inappropriate catsuit in action. Dressing like a pop tart half her age is no way for Jenny to stage a comeback, but she did get everyone buzzing after her performance. I'm not exactly sure why, because she's not the only celeb to bare all in a catsuit in the past year or so.
