UBS analyst Brennan Hawken and team worry that Bank of America (BAC) could be the next Citigroup (C). They explain:
Much as the Banamex/Oceanographia fraud foreshadowed Citi's qualitative fail in last year's CCAR, we are concerned that the mandated modifications to Bank of America's Basel models disclosed in Bank of America's 10-K raises the risk of a qualitative failure in this year's CCAR. We have recently learned that Citi's qualitative failure in last year's CCAR was based on the Fed's concerns about Citi's capital planning process. Therefore, we believe that investors should be very cautious of any red flags which surround capital planning at a CCAR bank. Previous to this latest capital snag, Bank of America used its mulligan in last year's CCAR, found a material error in the calculation of its capital ratios leading to a CCAR resubmission, and they are the only bulge bracket firm not approved to exit their parallel run. When taken together, we believe these factors raise enough questions about Bank of America's capital planning process to mean a qualitative failure is a real risk this year.
As a result, Hawken cut his ranking on Bank of America to Neutral from Buy.
Shares of Bank of America have dropped 1.5% to $15.80 at 12:46 p.m. today, while Citigroup has gained 0.8% to $52.85.
UPDATE: Citigroup's Keith Horowitz calls the news about Bank of America's 10-K "not helpful, but not a major negative." He explains why:
[We] are already expecting a conservative soft CCAR ask – Our revised capital return estimates assume flat dividends and a $3.1 bil dollar buyback ($2.7 net) over 5 qtrs. We think Bank of America still faces a relatively high bar in the quantitative portion of the test after having to resubmit its capital return plan last year, driven by 1) depressed capital generation after elevated legal expenses and losses in 1Q14 and 3Q14, 2) the DFAST assumption of higher dividends, i.e. continuation of 5c instead of 1c over the 9 quarter stress period and higher preferred dividends, and 3) the incremental impact of phase-ins of Basel 3 capital deductions.
Puma Biotechnology (PBYI) is target of a perennial buy-out speculation, and with biotech acquisitions once again in the news, UBS analyst Matthew Roden and team consider potential acquirers, including Gilead Sciences (GILD), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), and Sanofi (SNY):
Recent media reports about a Pharmacyclics (PCYC) buyout have reinvigorated M&A discussion in biotech…We continue to see Puma as a prime acquisition candidate, based on the positive ph3 data in the differentiated extended adjuvant breast cancer setting that we think can generate >$2bn in WW sales alone, and promising data in other settings that could add $1bn+…
We principally see two categories of acquirers: those with established breast cancer franchises looking for bolt-on growth and leverage, and those looking to add a flagship product in breast to an existing cancer franchise.
Besides Johnson & Johnson, Sanofi, and Gilead Sciences, potential suitors include AstraZeneca (AZN), Celgene (CELG), and Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY), among others.
Roden thinks $330 would be a fair take out price for Puma based on a "50% M&A premium to the standalone adjuvant value of $220," though it could be as high as $437.
Shares of Puma Biotechnology have gained 2.4% to $210.92 at 12:08 p.m.
Stocks haven't done much this week–and that doesn't look to change this morning.
S&P 500 futures have dropped have dropped 0.2%, while Nasdaq Composite futures have fallen 0.1%, and Dow Jones Industrial Average futures have dropped 0.1%.
FedEx (FDX) has gained 1.2% to $176.65 after the express-delivery company was upgraded to Outperform from Neutral at Credit Suisse.
Potbelly (PBPB) has dropped 7.4% to $13.60 after the sandwich maker was cut to Underweight from Overweight at Piper Jaffray.
Urban Outfitters (URBN) URBN has jumped 2.6% to $39.33 after the retailer said it would buy back 20 million shares.
Herbalife (HLF) has fallen 2.4% to $34.00 after the beleaguered multi-level seller beat fourth-quarter earnings forecasts but said 2015 would be tougher than it thought.
JC Penney (JCP) has tumbled 11% to $8.09 after the beaten-down department-store chain provided disappointing 2015 guidance to go along with its fourth-quarter earnings miss.
Stocks finished mixed today after jobless claims rose the most since Dec. 2013, while one measure of inflation was surprisingly strong.
The S&P 500 fell 0.2% to 2,110.74, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.1% to 18,214.42. The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.4% to 4,987.89.
The number of Americans filing for first-time jobless benefits rose 31,000 to 313,000 last week. The consumer price index fell 0.7% in January from December, but Core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices, rose 0.2%, better than the 0.1% gain forecast by economists. The latter, notes Evercore ISI's DennisDennis DeBusschere, could mean rate hikes sooner than later:
Krishna [Guha, ISI's head of policy] has made the point that Yellen was misunderstood in her testimony and her tone was sneaky hawkish on Tuesday despite the markets dovish take. Krishna noted specifically that "the time-frame for returning inflation to target is the medium term (typically a three year forecast horizon) and the test is reasonable confidence in that forecast. This is not a particularly dovish formulation." If correct, the stronger than expected inflation data today could be an even bigger deal from a market point of view going forward.
Societe Generale's Albert Edwards wonders if he's taking crazy pills:
With equity markets galore hitting record highs clearly I must be missing something big! We are at that stage in the cycle where I begin to doubt my own sanity. I've been here before though and know full well how this story ends and it doesn't involve me being detained in a mental health establishment (usually). The downturn in US profits is accelerating and it is not just an energy or US dollar phenomenon – a broad swathe of US economic data has disappointed in February. One of the positive surprises, payrolls, is a lagging indicator. The $64,000 question is not if, but rather when will investors realise what is going on?
We all know Edwards will be right. It's just a question of when.
Shares of JC Penney (JCP) are tumbling in after-hours trading after the retailer missed earnings forecasts by a wide margin.
JC Penney said it broke even during the fourth quarter of 2014, missing the Street consensus for 11 cents. Sales $3,89 billion, narrowly beating forecasts for $3.88 billion. Same store sales rose 4.4% during the fourth quarter, beating the high end of JC Penney's guidance, while 2015 comparable sales should grow at a 3% to 5% clip, the company said.
The market clearly doesn't like that miss. Shares of JC Penney have dropped 7.4% to $8.45 at 4:22 p.m. It gained 1.5% during regular trading today.
Morgan Stanley (MS) might not be the only too-big-to-fail bank whose legal troubles could be a thing of the past, at least in the eyes of analysts. The same might be true for JPMorgan Chase (JPM) as well, argues Argus analyst Stephen Biggar. He explains why:
We are reiterating our BUY rating on JPMorgan Chase & Co. following the company's February 24 Investor Day. We believe that JPMorgan's valuation discount to peers will narrow over time as revenue growth begins to outweigh recurring compliance costs, and as the impact of new regulations on the business becomes clearer.
While we're not dismissing regulatory challenges, which include mortgage-related settlements, the LIBOR and FX investigations, and London Whale lawsuits, we believe that JPMorgan is moving past the worst of these exogenous events. Although elevated legal expenses and regulatory/compliance costs are likely to remain part of the landscape, we expect legal expenses to decline from the $2.9 billion recorded in 2014.
JPMorgan trades at 10.4-times our 2015 EPS forecast of $5.90, below the low double-digit multiple of the money-center peer group. We see room for multiple expansion as investors better recognize the company's leading industry position in most major business lines and the likelihood that legal costs will moderate. Our target price is $68, raised from $65.
Shares of JPMorgan have gained 0.6% to $61.52, while Morgan Stanley has dropped 1.7% to $35.98.
Sterne, Agee & Leach's Ike Boruchow and team explain why L Brands (LB) is expensive but worth it following fourth-quarter results released yesterday:
L Brands reported better fourth-quarter EPS of $1.89 (versus preannouncement range of $1.78 to $1.80) driven by better gross margin. Margin was remarkably strong in the quarter (up 210 basis points), aided by very lean inventory levels (down double digits psf) and strong full-priced selling at both brands. Despite a solid start to the year (February comp guidance raised from to mid-single digit growth from low-single digit), management guided Q/2015 EPS below the Street due to headwinds from a higher tax rate ($0.07), the apparel exit ($0.08), and FX ($0.10-$0.12). With a conservative guide now in the rear view mirror, L Brands is likely to begin another year in full "beat and raise" mode. Stay long.
Our unchanged 12-month price target of $97 is based on 23 times our fiscal 2016. Although there are short-term headwinds affecting EPS growth in 2015, the underlying fundamentals of the business remain strong (fourth-quarter comps strongest in 10 quarters, inventories well managed, gross margin up significantly in the fourth quarter), giving us confidence in prospects for the business over the long term. Thus, we remain buyers of these high-quality shares despite the premium valuation.
Shares of L Brands–the parent company of Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works–have dropped 0.8% to $91.72 at 2:52 p.m. this afternoon.
Of all the offshore drillers who have released earnings during the past 24 hours–including Seadrill (SDRL) and Transocean (RIG)–Ensco's (ESV) financial results might have been the most shocking. Not because of the actual results, mind you, but because of Ensco's decision to cut its dividend. Credit Suisse analyst Gregory Lewis and team explain that Ensco's decision was "not what [they] were expecting":
Ensco cut its annual dividend to $0.60 (from $3.00) which equates to a 9% payout of 2015 OCF. ESV is now yielding 2.3%. While we had our concerns about the long-term sustainability of the dividend (market is that bad), we had thought a lower dividend would be a 2H15/1H16 event. Management is also reducing head count – not the sign of a V shaped recovery.
Shares of Ensco have dropped 7.3% to $24.65 at 1:52 p.m. today, while Transocean has fallen 0.6% to $15.95 after reporting better-than forecast results, and Seadrill is off 1.7% at $11.55 following the release of its earnings.
Jefferies' Andy Barish and team explain why Starbucks (SBUX) could gain more than 10%:
Starbucks is likely seeing some positive changes in consumer behavior from the improved economy/gas prices, giving us increased confidence in our +5% SSS est. More importantly though, beverage (Flat White) & food momentum continue, with both breakfast & lunch food growing nicely (now approaching 20% of retail sales). The tea program, now fully branded under Teavana, also continues to be a growth area. Food is targeted to contribute 25% of retail sales in the LT, and tea could get to the low-teens…
We continue to find Starbucks to be the highest quality large cap story in restaurants. Internal drivers remain powerful, and SSS and traffic should keep EPS gains in the 15-20% range. We continue to recommend the stock and raise our TP to $108 (from $97).
Shares of Starbucks have gained 0.5% to $94.72 at 1:43 p.m. today, leaving 14% of upside to Barish's target.
UBS analyst Brennan Hawken and team think the last major legal overhang is out of the was for Morgan Stanley (MS) following its $2.6 billion settlement with the Justice Department:
With this settlement, it is our view that most of the major legacy legal issues are now in the rearview mirror for Morgan Stanley. Importantly, Morgan Stanley is not a rate setter for LIBOR and, therefore, is not involved in the LIBOR rate-fixing investigation. Further, given the size of Morgan Stanley's FX business, we think it is unlikely that it would see fines on the same order of magnitude as some of the other firms named in the investigations to date.
The DoJ has now reached RMBS settlements with all of the U.S. bulge bracket firms except for Goldman Sachs (GS). Notably, we have no greater clarity than anyone else as to when Goldman Sachs will settle with the DoJ. Further, while we think that the firm is more likely to see a settlement similar in magnitude to Morgan Stanley's than to the money centers', it is difficult to predict with any certainty the likely size of Goldman Sachs' settlement.
Shares of Morgan Stanley have dropped 1.1% to $36.17 at 11:29 a.m. today, while Goldman Sachs has ticked up 0.1% to $191.35.

Sonnet 130
Analysis: What's Up With the Title?
None of Shakespeare's sonnets have titles, so we refer to them by number, in this case, 130. These numbers come from the order in which the poems were first published in 1609. The order actually matters a lot, since the sonnets can be roughly separated into groups based on their subject matter. Sonnet 130 comes from a whole group of sonnets that scholars think are addressed to a "Dark Lady." They call her that because she has black hair and dark features, like we see in this poem.
You might also see this poem referred to by its first line, "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun." This puts a double emphasis on the first line, and has helped to make it a famously quotable line in English literature.

Court curbs Justice's probes of ISPs
By Wilson P. Dizard III
Sep 29, 2004
A federal district court judge today struck down a provision of the USA Patriot Act that allows the FBI to issue secret administrative subpoenas to Internet service providers and others without judicial review.
Judge Victor Marrero of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York ruled in the case of John Doe et al v. John Ashcroft et al that the government does not have the authority to cloak the national security letters it issues to seek electronic information in perpetual secrecy without judicial review.
Justice Department spokesman Mark Corallo said, "We are reviewing the ruling." The American Civil Liberties Union, which represented the anonymous Doe, cited the decision as 'a stunning victory against John Ashcroft's Justice Department.'
Marrero stayed the execution of his order barring the FBI from issuing national security letters for 90 days or until the government appeals.
Today's decision could influence how law enforcement authorities investigate terrorism and crime figures communicating via the Internet.
ACLU attorney Ann Mason said the organization's attorneys originally filed their case under seal because the Patriot Act forbids people who receive national security letters from revealing that fact to anyone, including an attorney. Marrero's 128-page decision revealed that Doe is an ISP, but did not reveal Doe's name, which is still under seal.
Marerro wrote that 'democracy abhors secrecy,' and cited the 1974 amendments to the Freedom of Information Act that Congress adopted in reaction to the cover-up of the Watergate burglary. He condemned a 'categorical and uncritical extension of non-disclosure [that] may become the cover for spurious ends that government may then deem too inconvenient, inexpedient, merely embarrassing, or even illicit to ever expose to the light of day.'
The court barred the Justice Department from issuing national security letters and from enforcing the perpetual secrecy provisions of the administrative subpoena law under the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, which forbids unreasonable searches and seizures.
'We still cannot disclose the name of our client,' Mason said. 'But he is very excited about the judge's ruling.'
Congress now is considering amendments to the Patriot Act that could expand Justice's authority. The ACLU said today's decision 'should serve as a wake-up call to members of Congress' that the courts may strike down such expansions of the government's powers.

QUESTION: It is time for the holiday gatherings. My large family has several events during the season where we all get together for dinner or for celebrating. Am I supposed to dress up for all of the parties that my relatives attend? It's just us!
20-40-60 Etiquette: Should I dress up when it's family only?
CALLIE'S ANSWER: I love to dress up for the holidays. You look better and feel good about yourself. My vote is YES!
LILLIE-BETH'S ANSWER: If you're asking whether it's OK to roll out of bed and come to family gatherings in your pajamas, then the answer is "no." If you're asking whether you should wear formal attire like a cocktail dress for each family event, then I think the answer to that question is "no" as well, or at least "not necessarily."
Entertaining guests, even if they are "only" family members, takes some effort, and it's nice when your attire acknowledges that, depending on the occasion. If it's a potluck dinner or pizza, then a casual outfit is fine — even jeans. Take each occasion on a case-by-case basis, and enjoy wearing something festive, whether dressy or casual. But more importantly, try to enjoy the people with whom you're celebrating.
HELEN'S ANSWER: Relatives are so important. You are lucky to have a large family. Hopefully you will enjoy dressing up for all the events. My favorite memories are of Thanksgiving Day and two of our relatives — they were sisters — came to my house totally dressed up and wearing high heels. I appreciated the effort, and both of them looked darling.
My other memories are of my own daughters wearing matching holiday dresses when they were very young during the Christmas season and my young son wearing a coat and tie. They always looked precious and their seasonal attire made the holiday season so much fun!

Mike Beatz - Entourage Flow
Artist: Mike Beatz
Featuring: Saigon
Producer: Adonis
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 2.7 ( 7 votes )
It's no surprise that Entourage is a favorite among rappers: not only was the series all about the quest to make it in the entertainment business, but it featured a real-life representative of the hip-hop hustle in the person of Big Apple emcee Saigon. Today, South Floridian emcee Mike Beatz and his behind-the-boards partner, Adonis, become the latest act to pay tribute to the long-running comedy on Entourage Flow. The follow-up to July's acclaimed I Love You, this promo cut features some choice samples from straight-talking agent Ari Gold, as well as a lyrical cameo from Sai himself. Though the record isn't attached to any larger project, fans can, of course, keep their browsers locked to the Booth for further freshness from Beatz, Adonis and company.

If a scholar fudges data, exaggerates or makes up facts, cherry-picks phrases taken so far out of context that their meanings are quite opposite, mistranslates so often and so widely that one must wonder about the intentionality behind it, then the world is right to question that scholar's ethics and the reliability of his research. That is so even if a part ... Read More »
Dharma Teachers Should Be Paid A Shit Load, Or At Least Something
Dharma teachers should be paid a fair amount of money for their expertise and their abilities. Why isn't meditation taught in schools? Why not in police stations and hospitals? Why isn't it offered in corporations or government administrations? Why not in the military? It is simply not valued enough, not as a religion, but as a practical way to foster ... Read More »
Visiting the Temple by Nonin Chowaney
Wang Wei (701-761) was a high-level government official who lived at a time in which Buddhism was flourishing in China. During middle-age, he began practicing Zen and eventually quit his job to retire to a hermitage in the Chang-an mountains, a center of Buddhist activity at the time. He then devoted the rest of his life to Zen practice and ... Read More »
What Are the Depths to Which You'll Go?
Buddhism began for me in high school as a thought experiment. It was a bunch of beautiful assertions about the nature of things—more often than not, the absolute nature of things—that seemed awfully hard to test. The idea that you and I might be fundamentally the same, that the apparent differences between us said more about my deluded view than ... Read More »
SIT-A-LONG with Jundo: gratitude & Great Gratitude
This "Buddha quote", however nice it sounds, is not something the Buddha likely said at all (turns out to be from the cheery 70's writer on love, Leo Buscaglia). Oh, the Buddha certainly taught us to be grateful for this precious life, but also to be Grateful (Big "G") in a way that puts down the balance sheet and any need even to hunt for the ... Read More »
My Teacher Doesn't Get Me
Not long ago, a Zen student in California wrote to me asking for advice about his teacher. He's on track to be ordained, he wrote, but as he moves closer to taking that leap, he finds himself worried that his teacher doesn't really get him. In fact, he's left teachers in the past for this very reason. He said that he sometimes ... Read More »
Some Thoughts About Engaged Buddhism and Wrong Mindfulness
An Interview with Hozan Alan Senauke by John Malkin, March 2013 What is the interaction between practices like meditation and social change? When I began an activist path I did not see any interaction. I wasn't practicing Buddhism then and I had pretty much turned away from Judaism, the religion I was born into. Judaism and Christianity have very strong social ... Read More »

Zen on the Yellow Brick Road
When we start to practice we bring our fears and issues that we have used to define ourselves throughout our life. We might initially come to Zen because we think it will give us peace of mind or relaxation, but if we stick with it we come to realize that what we really get is the opportunity to sit face ...

SIT-A-LONG with Jundo – TO ALL SOLO PRACTITIONERS: Don't Be A Selfish Pratyeka-buddha!
Many times I hear folks say that they want to practice on their own, and not join in a Buddhist Community, because doing so gets in the way of their own practicing and sitting. To such folks, other people or having a teacher are a distraction, take up "my" precious time, are not a benefit to "me". Well, I say: Don't be a ... Read More »
The Emptiness of Egypt
This is a spiritual fact, from a Zen point of view, not an opinion or a judgment. It is neither good nor bad and it is neither an excuse to do or not do anything in particular. It's easy to see there is tremendous suffering and pain there now. So what does it mean that it is empty and how ... Read More »

Analysis of African plant reveals possible treatment for aging brain
LA JOLLA—For hundreds of years, healers in São Tomé e Príncipe—an island off the western coast of Africa—have prescribed cata-manginga leaves and bark to their patients. These pickings from the Voacanga africana tree are said to decrease inflammation and ease the symptoms of mental disorders.

LA JOLLA—In mice with diet-induced diabetes—the equivalent of type 2 diabetes in humans—a single injection of the protein FGF1 is enough to restore blood sugar levels to a healthy range for more than two days. The discovery by Salk scientists, published today in the journal Nature, could lead to a new generation of safer, more effective diabetes drugs.

LA JOLLA—The ability to switch out one gene for another in a line of living stem cells has only crossed from science fiction to reality within this decade. As with any new technology, it brings with it both promise—the hope of fixing disease-causing genes in humans, for example—as well as questions and safety concerns. Now, Salk scientists have put one of those concerns to rest: using gene-editing techniques on stem cells doesn't increase the overall occurrence of mutations in the cells. The new results were published July 3 in the journal Cell Stem Cell.

"When I direct a film, my only concern is how to tell a story as simply as possible," Australian filmmaker Bruce Beresford said here on Saturday. He was speaking at 'In Conversation' with Gujarati writer Prabodh Parikh, organised as part of the 16th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK). Mr. Beresford is the chairperson of the jury in this year's film festival.
Mr. Beresford said his films were not inspired by the works of master filmmakers. "But I learned a lot about the structure of a film from their works. I try to work out why some films work well," he said. Mr. Beresford said he made his films in a straightforward manner.
Filmmaker Shaji N. Karun said he was inspired by the spirituality in the films of Andrei Tarkovsky. Mr. Karun said cinema was a tool to address spirituality and the unknown. "And that is what I try to do through my films," he added.
Mr. Beresford's obsession with opera is widely known. He said music could give tremendous insight into the story and the characters enacting it. Mr. Parikh noted that the two filmmakers, who did not know each other personally, were now together in exploring the art form called opera. Mr. Karun said his next film was based on an opera as well.
"I usually have a few films in my mind at a time. Luckily, one of them finds a way to communicate with the financiers," Mr. Beresford said. He said he was amazed by the number of films he had made. "When I work on a film, I think about the entire film, not fragments," Mr. Beresford said.
One should be careful to avoid repetition while constructing a film. "I make sure that one scene of a film tells a story which no previous scene has said," he added.

2001 Chevrolet Suburban 1500Visitor, Sugar Land, TX, June 13, 2012 21:50I have owned my 2001 Suburban since it was new. It now has 146,000 miles on it. I have always kept the vehicle well maintained as I do with all of my vehicles. This Suburban has been a great vehicle to travel with. It has been driven across this country many times. It is a great on the highway. Now for the bad. The ABS brake module has been replaced 3 times. The rear tailgate window hinge has broken. You have to replace the entire window assembly to get the hinge. The A/C only blows cold enough while driving over 30 mph. If you are sitting in traffic it blows warm. The freon level is perfect and it has blown this way since new. Other than these issues it's a good truck. It is dependable and has never let me down.Flag ThisLike | 2 people like this2
2001 Chevrolet Suburban 1500Screamin Steven, Eagle, ID, September 13, 2010 13:13First suburban we've owned. Had it for over 100,000 miles. Fuel pump went out, but it was a recall item. Alternator went out at 165,00 miles; easy fix. I guess they don't last forever. Had a problem with the rear differential, cost $1500, but still cheaper than a buying a new car. Overall runs well; best for short road trips. Would buy another one. Great for big families.EnthusiastFlag ThisLike | 4 people like this4

Don't forget to sign your OIA Complaint Form. If you are sending your OIA Complaint Form by email, please either type your name in the signature box or scan and attach the Form, so that we have your signature.
If you appoint a representative to handle your complaint you must still sign the OIA Complaint Form.
Sending us your Complaint Form
must receive
OIA Complaint Form in our Office
within three months
of the date of the
Completions of Procedures Letter
If you send us your OIA Complaint Form by email we
do not
need an additional copy in the post.
Keep proof of posting or sending your OIA Complaint Form to us.
Send us a copy of the Completion of Procedures Letter with your OIA Complaint Form. (If you do not have one, there is a space on the Form to say why not.)
If your Form is received after the three month deadline, we may consider it to be out of time. If there are exceptional reasons why you were unable to send us your Form on time, enclose a covering letter (explaining these reasons) and any relevant evidence (for example, a medical certificate).
If you have sent us your Complaint Form online, you will receive a copy by email. Please allow up to 24 hours for the confirmation email to arrive. Please also check your spam/junk folder for emails throughout the complaint process.
Sending us other documents
We send all the information that you send to us to the university. Before you send us anything containing personal data of another person, please make sure that you have their permission for this to be sent to the OIA and the university.
If you have a copy of the complaint or appeal you submitted to the university (with any enclosures) you should send this to us with your form. This may help us to deal with your complaint more quickly. However, if you have not kept a copy, do not delay sending us your form while you obtain this information from the university.
If you wish any documents to be kept confidential and not forwarded to the university, please make this very clear and identify any such documents. Please also explain why you wish the documents to be kept confidential. We will consider your reasons, but please be aware that as we are an open and transparent Scheme we may then not be able to look at certain aspects of your complaint.
Please enclose only relevant information. Do not include any duplicates or long email trails that are not relevant.
Please highlight important sections of the regulations or documents.
Include a list of the full names of all the people involved in your complaint and who they are (for example, your Tutor or the Head of Department).
Please put all your documents in date order (newest correspondence at the front of the file).
All documents sent to us need to be photocopied so please do not bind them or put anything in plastic sleeves. It is quicker for us to process your documents if they are hole-punched and held together with treasury tags, rather than in files or folders. Do not staple documents or use post-it notes: include a separate sheet if you need to make notes. If you need to separate sections, use a separate sheet or dividers.
Send us copies, rather than original documents. We do not normally return your documents to you.
If you change your address or contact details please let us know.
Check your email inbox, spam and junk folders regularly throughout the complaint process to make sure you do not miss any emails from us.
Do not let the fact that you have brought a complaint to the OIA affect the course of action you would otherwise take: in other words do not assume that we will uphold your complaint.
Please be patient, your complaint will not be resolved immediately, it can take six months or more for us to look at your complaint.
Remember that we are independent and we are therefore unable to give you advice or discuss the merits of your complaint with you.

Posted by Jordan Waller, 11 March 2014
Stand-up star Chris Ramsey, knows all about dealing with unwanted audience interaction. The star of BBC2's smash-hit Geordie sitcom Hebburn tells us how he confronts hecklers and keeps smiling. At a gig, you have to respond if someone shouts "You're shit!" If you ignore heckles, you lose the respect of the crowd. Which is the worst thing for a comedian.
Always think ahead. When someone heckles, I give a quick reaction and let the crowd laugh, and during that time my brain tries to get five steps ahead like a chess player. If the hecklers ?are a couple, I'm asking myself, "Right, what's their relationship? Does one of them like the show more than the other? How can I play each of these things against each other?"
No matter how annoyed you are, you cannot let it show. Otherwise you're just having an argument with somebody on stage. If it looks like you're getting upset, the crowd becomes really antsy.
It's like a game of Swingball against someone you know you're better at Swingball than. So you hit it lightly and they hit back. Then you hit it lightly again and they hit back. And then you just wallop it and wallop it and wallop it until the ball goes round to the top and they have to leave your garden.
Never beg. The next worst thing to ignoring a heckler is pleading with them. I've seen guys start cowering away, saying "Come on guys, please be quiet." No one wants to see that.
Want to know how to laugh anything off? Tell as many people as you can immediately. Yesterday, I was pushing my bins up the drive and the lid blew up, smashing into the bridge of my nose. I thought I was going to cry. I could see there were people looking out of their windows at me. So I went in and told everyone about it on Twitter.

As you follow these steps, while listening to Vered's beautiful voice, you will immediately feel and see how it fosters a tender loving bond between you and your little bundle of joy.
Some people feel completely comfortable singing with their babies from day one. I wasn't one of those people. I remember watching my husband sing tenderly to our first son while cradling him in the middle of the night. It was the idyllic picture I had always imagined I would make with my baby.
As a musician and music therapist, I was sure singing with my son would come naturally. Instead, I found myself constantly nursing, pumping and bottle feeding. I was sleep deprived, in shock and uncomfortable. It took me quite a while to let music seep into my routine with my baby, but when it did, it felt like the sun had finally shone through the clouds.
I realized that when I sang with my son, when we danced and made music together, I felt particularly connected with him. He often smiled at the sound of a song, which in turn made me want to sing more. Eventually, Icombined my professional training and my experience as a parent and began leading groups to help other parents and their babies connect through music.
Here are some of the tips that I have found to be especially helpful to parents who would like to incorporate music but don't know how or why. Some, like me, just need a little reminder about the power of music and a little nudge to help the inner music flow out.
1. Use music to establish your daily routine.
Typically, the toughest challenge for the parents in my groups is creating a routine for their babies. During these rough patches, it is helpful to keep in mind that babies are much like dogs; they are trainable and crave routine. Similar to Pavlov's dogs, babies respond well to having cues, especially auditory ones, that signal the next event. Try singing or putting on a song to let your baby know that it is morning, bath time, nap time or bedtime. If you are consistent with your use of these songs, your baby will come to associate a song with the action that follows and will be more prepared for the next step in the daily routine. For example, you may find that eventually your baby will start to rub her eyes at the first sound of the familiar lullaby.
2. Repeat! Repeat!
I am sure you have already heard that consistency with your baby is key to giving him a sense of security. Singing is an effective way to use repetition because songs organize words and melody in a way that is easily replicated and familiar. This is different from talking, which also involves song-like inflections but usually does not use the same type of repetition. If you sing the same songs over and over with your baby each day, you will probably start to see delight in his or her eyes at the start of these songs. In the baby's world where everything is new, a well-known song sung by a caretaker gives a sense of control and familiarity.
3. Rhythm is your friend.
Babies love rhythm. From the womb they have been moving around to the rhythm of their mother's steps and hearing her heart beat. Rhythm is a great tool to use for play, and even more so, for soothing. You may have had nights of trying to soothe your baby back to sleep by rocking in the rocking chair, bouncing on the ball or bouncing the baby in your arms. Adding music to the rhythm of your rocking or bouncing will not only lull your baby to sleep more quickly but also will make this process much more interesting for you. Imagine it: You are bouncing, hoping the baby will fall asleep soon and thinking about the sleep you would rather be having. If you add in a song and move to the rhythm, you are not only distracting yourself from these thoughts, but you also may even enjoy these moments with your baby. More important, you will be increasing your stamina for rocking, and by the time you have sung the song twice, your baby might be asleep.
4. Incorporate music with hand gestures and body movements.
There is a reason that songs such as the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" are timeless hits. For babies, the hand gestures that accompany these songs are like puppet shows. Babies begin to associate gestures with the melody and anticipate them. Try incorporating singing, movement and touch when playing with your baby. You will notice your baby's delight at being moved around.
5. Why say it when you can sing it?
Babies have been shown to respond more to the sound of their mother singing than to the sound of her talking. Although researchers are not sure why, they speculate that it may be because singing carries more emotion. Most of us have heard that it is important to talk to babies throughout the day to help them build their language skills. Although you might feel awkward narrating your every move, you might find creating simple songs about what you're doing to be more enjoyable for both you and your baby. It doesn't take much thought to begin improvising; just be goofy and sing what comes to the top of your head. If you find that you're having a hard time opening the musical floodgates, find a music group for you and your baby. Perhaps all you need is a little coaxing.
The most important point is that your baby does not care if you can't carry a tune. He or she just wants to sing with you, smile, have fun,feel that you are enjoying yourself, too, and feel secure. Just like the baby pictures that your baby will go back to as a grown-up, your baby will also remember the songs that you sang together because they will have had a joyous, bonding and soothing effect. And most likely, someday your baby will sing these songs to his or her baby as well.
Edie Carey & Sarah Sample – Til' The Morning: Lullabies & Songs of Comfort.
Edie Carey & Sarah Sample join forces to bring this gorgeous lullaby album to life. Their hauntingly beautiful harmonies create a soothing atmosphere for new parents and their little ones. The duo's hushed lullabies are full of emotion that will swell your heart. Each song delivers a special kind of comfort and poignancy that matches the deeply tender expression between the maternal figure and her infant.
The alluring illustration was done by Caitlin Connolly, a Utah-based artist who explores the human experience, with an emphasis on women in different life phases. In this piece, Connolly exhibits thoughtful detail and subtle textures using curves and lines that, together, create an intimate scene and an intensity that is palpable.
In her personal statement, Connolly expresses:
"My work often explores the feminine experience as I attempt to understand myself and all women more fully and view them the way I see them – powerful yet flawed."
When I first saw the album art, I was flooded with memories, recalling the potent range of emotions I felt as a new mother. However, after hearing Carey and Sample share their raw, personal experiences, I was compelled to look even further at Connolly's design.
Sample explains,
"I have known Caitlin Connolly for many years and watched her art and drawings evolve over time. She seems to have settled into her artistry in a deep and beautiful way, often drawing women and life phases they are in. I had seen one of her drawings entitled "A Piece of Me" and was immediately struck by the beauty of the image of mother and baby.
The mother in the drawing is wearing a dress that is fractured into many small pieces. The baby is wrapped in her dress, and the mother is tenderly looking down into the face of her child. I identified with the mother in the drawing. I was living in Seattle when I had my first child six years ago, and the transition required to become a parent was rough to say the least. I was enamored with my beautiful baby, and yet I felt like I was falling apart at the same time. Caitlin's image perfectly captured the fracturing I felt in my own life as a mother, and yet at the same time showed a mother's love.'
Carey continues,
"When Sarah showed me Caitlin's incredible work, I was immediately taken with it, and it just felt like the perfect image for the soothing, healing, intimate feeling of the record. The mother's fractured dress spoke to me as it did Sarah of all the difficulty of breaking down the "you" you once were to remake yourself into a mother. It also reminded me of the struggle my husband and I went through to become parents. Infertility has been – and continues to be – the most difficult experience I've ever had – and while it brought with it feelings of being broken, it also has made me more grateful than I might have been otherwise to finally have gotten the chance to be a mother – and all the beauty and struggle that comes with that privilege. Caitlin seems to just understand and convey all the complexity of those feelings in her work.

I have been receiving reports from family and friends in New England about the crazy amounts of snow that Just. Keeps. Falling. My sister hasn't worked on a Monday in about a month and recently remarked "This winter is no joke, Rebecca!" And if Boston-based kindie artist and event producer Karen K (for Kalafatas) is any indication, the prognosis is not good, my friends. Not good at all.

Lisa Mathews, of the kindie band Milkshake, was recently a guest DJ on the Hilltown Family Variety Show, an incredible online network that supports education through community engagement, where she curated a playlist centered around love and social consciousness. Lisa's music pics featured kindie such as Brady Rymer, Secret Agent 23 Skidoo and Recess Monkey, as well as adult artists such as The Beatles, Adele, and Sly and the Family Stone. She even features a song written in 1930 from the movie The Moderns, which is one of Emily's favorites in the bunch!
Altogether, the podcast signifies that love is multi-faceted, and the way we give and receive it impacts how we relate to one another. I really enjoyed listening to Lisa and thought it would be great to hear more of her thoughts on the topic of love in light of the upcoming holiday.
In today's guest post, Lisa writes about how much she loves Valentine's Day, creating love songs with her previous band Love Riot, and watching her teenage daughter experience love firsthand. Lisa's thoughts really resonated with me as a mother and a music lover. I know that Emily will have her own experiences with love in the same way as Lisa's daughter. But, as Lisa says below, "maybe she'll write a song about it, and listen to other songs that will help her through." And I plan to be there listening to the music with her.
Milkshake will be performing a Valentine's Spectacular show in Maryland with all kinds of fun activities and sweet treats. Plus, if you aren't familiar with Milkshake's music, I encourage you to listen to the links below, and check out the band's music page. Lisa's voice is bee-u-tee-ful!
Details about the show which will benefit Arts On Stage, a nonprofit that brings arts performances into schools, can be found following the post.
I love Valentine's Day. I love all holidays, but having one more reason to tell someone "I Love You" sounds good to me. I love the heart-shaped boxes. And even though I can't eat chocolate (woe is me), I love gazing at the different chocolate pieces and wondering what's inside them, how they taste. I love the idea behind all those sweetheart candies, too. I pick out my favorites like "Sweet Love," "My Love," "Hug Me" and "Only You." Nowadays, the candies say things like "Text Me" or "Tweet Me." Love's gone digital, for sure.
But perhaps what I love most of all are the love songs. They remind me that love itself is so multi-dimensional. Happy love songs, sad love songs, songs of longing, songs of leaving. Before Milkshake, Mikel and I fronted a band for adults called Love Riot and we wrote nothing but love songs. It was amazing to me how we never seemed to run out of ideas. Maybe it wasn't so unlimited as the topics we've discovered writing songs for kids, but emotionally, there was probably more to our love songs. The songs reflected what I or my friends were going through, and perhaps being in love is more of an adult thing. I wrote "I Love You" as a lullaby for my daughter, but that's certainly different from romantic love. Now, she's a beautiful 14-year-old and I see hints of romantic pining. I don't look forward to her first breakup, which could be a painful thing. But maybe she'll write a song about it, and listen to other songs that will help her through.
So how will Milkshake – the band that celebrates most holidays with a big show somewhere – celebrate Valentine's Day when the majority of our songs deal with imagination and play and doing the right thing? Well, we did record "I Love You" and "Enemies" for our Great Day CD, which skews a bit older, listener-wise. And we added a Milkshake version of the classic "Tiptoe Thru the Tulips" on our latest Got a Minute CD. But that's about it in the love song department. We'll do all three for sure, tossing rose petals at our little friends. Moo will pass out chocolate kisses and candy hearts, and we'll all be giving out unlimited hugs after the show.
People can donate their unloved instruments to Music4More, who will find them loving homes at schools and communities. There will be face-painted hearts and cherubs for anyone who wants them, and our friends at Macaroni Kids will make paper valentines with the concert-goers. So while there might not be a lot of love songs, there will certainly be a lot of love. The concert benefits Arts On Stage, a non-profit that lovingly creates art performances for schools. Sounds like a great way to start my Valentine's Day. After saying "I Love You" to my husband, daughter, cat, dog and life first, of course.
"I Love You" (YouTube)
Get ready for an epic battle…of love!
Today I am happy to premiere a new video by Todd McHatton. "I Love You More" features McHatton and his daughter Hazel going head-to-head in a playful exchange expressing just how much (and how much more) they love one another. The competition is fierce but in the end, they prove that love conquers all.
What You'll Love About It: McHatton pours his heart into his work, much of which is inspired by his family. Originally written for Hazel, "I Love You More" marvelously expresses the swell of emotions felt between a parent and their child. Plus, the "I Love You More" game is a classic!
Often, at bedtime, Emily and I will play the same game. As we each throw out all kinds of impossibly giant ways that we love one another it always ends up with one of us saying, "I love you more than the whole wide world plus infinity."
So forget the Valentine's Day cards! All you need is this super video valentine to melt your sweetie's heart.
Behind the Scenes: McHatton usually does all the illustrations, animation and production for his videos. This time, Hazel also contributed by doing the stop motion, the paper cut outs, the clay people and hearts.
Want to learn more? You can purchase the album through the shop on Todd's official site. Leading up to the release of Super Audio Sunshine McHatton released a comic for every song, like the one you see at the top of this post. You can find more comics at Todd's official site.
Love is unity
Love is family
Love is friendship
Love is a furry companion
Love is playful
Love is music and singing
Love is expressing yourself
Love is in this video!
Happy Valentine's Day!
