Webinar: Voice-based Authentication In The Cloud
Hide details
John Amein, Senior VP Product Management, Voxeo, Peter Soufleris President, Voice Biometric Group, Dan Miller, Opus Research
Fast, convenient and secure user authentication is a must for companies that focus on providing their customer, prospects and employees with the best user experience possible. That's why many of the most forward-looking enterprises are taking serious stock of their options for ways to identify and validate the people at the other end of a phone conversation. Voiceprints are emerging as attractive alternatives to vulnerable PINs and commonly asked questions, such as "mother's maiden name" or "last 4-digits of your Social Security Number."
A growing number of companies are using hosted services platforms to carry out voice-based authentication. A hosted approach provides them with levels of flexibility, affordability and scalability that premises-based approaches do not. They help "future-proof" implementations, making it easier to add applications, enrollees and "hooks" into complementary security and authentication infrastructure.
Join Opus Research, Voxeo and Voice Biometrics Group in a webcast that describes the demand for strong, context aware authentication; the variety of voice biometrics-based solutions; and the advantages of taking a "hosted approach" to meeting identification and verification challenges in ways that comply with security and privacy concerns associated with Financial, Healthcare, Insurance and Government Services.

4 Steps to Optimizing Bandwidth for Maximum Network Performance
Chris Greer, Network Analyst for Packet Pioneer LLC
Mar 31 2015
44 mins
Network Managers have a tall order in IT organizations today. Typically, they are tasked with two conflicting business directives:
1. Deliver optimal end-user experience for networked applications
2. Reduce the operational cost of the network, or reduce the IT budget
But the knee jerk approach of "throwing bandwidth at the problem" while potentially improving end user experience, is hardly the answer to cost management and network optimization.
In this webinar, Chris Greer will discuss the challenges that result from the common approaches utilized today in capacity planning and, outline a new way, comprised of 4 actionable steps to optimizing the bandwidth you may already have.

Top 5 Things Marketers Need to Understand about Location and Privacy
Jul 2 2014
47 mins
Greg Sterling, Opus Research; Jules Polonetsky, Future of Privacy Forum
Consumers are ambivalent about online privacy. Some surveys suggest outright hostility to mobile-location tracking; others argue users are happy to share personal information for clear rewards and benefits. Consumers also express a desire for greater personalization of online, mobile and shopping experiences. How can these contradictory positions be reconciled?
The privacy landscape is evolving rapidly with Apple making location privacy changes in iOS 8 and state governments getting involved in regulating privacy in the absence of federal action.
Rather than an "issue that will blow over," privacy has become a central discussion for marketers and brands. It's the flipside of "big data." But timidity, passivity and denial won't work. Stakeholders must proactively tackle the issue head on.
Join Greg Sterling, Senior Analyst with Opus Research, and Future of Privacy Forum founder Jules Polonetsky for an informative, interactive webinar about the latest developments in location and privacy on Wednesday, July 2, 10 am PDT /1 pm EDT.
Everything You Always Wanted To Know about Beacons
Apr 30 2014
49 mins
Greg Sterling, Opus Research; Steve Hegenderfer, Bluetooth SIG
Beacons are hot. Once dismissed by many, they are now being widely deployed in retail and grocery stores, stadiums and entertainment venues. Apple's support for Bluetooth (iBeacon) has put the technology on the map and driven its growing adoption.
While many people have read about iBeacon, they don't clearly understand what beacons can and can't do. Join Opus Research Senior Analyst Greg Sterling and Steve Hegenderfer, director of developer programs at Bluetooth SIG, for an informative and interactive discussion about all things beacon.
Bluetooth SIG is the group that oversees the standards and licensing of Bluetooth. We assure you Hegenderfer will speak plain English during a presentation aimed at marketers, agencies and business decision-makers.
In this accessible, non-technical session you'll learn:
• What iBeacon is and how it fits within the larger Bluetooth landscape
• How many different types of beacons there are and who makes them
• The cost, lifespan and transmission range of beacons
• Optimal indoor beacon use cases (and things that beacons don't do well)
• How marketers/retailers can avoid spamming consumers with beacon triggered notifications
• How indoor messaging and notifications can be personalized
• Whether beacons can equally be used for indoor marketing and analytics
Voice Biometrics: The Benefits of a Unified Approach to Mobile Authentication
Apr 29 2014
47 mins
Dan Miller, Opus Research; Nik Stanbridge, VoiceVault
As smartphones now play key roles in e-commerce and personal communications for hundreds of millions of mobile users, our advice is, "authenticate early and often." As using the prevailing PIN and password-based systems is easier said than done, voiceprints provide the easy-to-implement and easy-to-use alternative that supports a "unified" approach to mobile authentication.
Join Dan Miller, senior analyst and founder of Opus Research, and Nik Stanbridge, vice president of product marketing at VoiceVault, to engage in a lively discussion of:
· How mobility is driving the need for stronger authentication to build trusted links between and among individuals and enterprises
· What voice biometrics technologies are; and how they differ from other factors for promoting security and personalization
· How a unified approach to design and deployment saves time, money and effort for application developers and solution providers
· How to get started to gain experience with a unified voice biometric product
Executives at firms with an interest in providing the best, most personalized mobile experience for customers and employees should take part in this webcast. So should mobile application developers who recognize that strong, simple authentication is key to supporting secure payments and highly personalized services.

Feb 25 2014
49 mins
Greg Sterling, Opus Research; Nathan Pettyjohn, aisle411; Jon Rosen, iInside
There's a great deal of hype surrounding iBeacon right now. But that technology is just one part of a much larger story about indoor location.

What you'll learn:
•How in-store mobile brand advertising impacts sales
•How indoor location can be used to combat retail showrooming
•How in-store (and even department level) presence is being used to measure the offline effectiveness of traditional and digital advertising.

The Business Case for Passive, Voice Based Authentication
Sep 17 2013
47 mins
Jade Khan, Solutions Marketing Manager, NICE; Dan Miller, Senior Analyst, Opus Research
Join Opus Research and NICE Systems for a fact-filled discussion of passive voice authentication. Companies deploy this technology in the contact center to overcome adoption barriers and garner financial and operational benefits that pave the way for bringing strong authentication to all customer touchpoints.
Customer care specialists have already discovered that huge benefits result when they shorten the time required for caller authentication. Shorter calls save costs and increase customer satisfaction. New technologies enable them to take a passive approach to customer enrollment, accelerating the time it takes to extend these benefits to all callers and stepping up the pace at which trusted communications links can be established.
Dan Miller, senior analyst at Opus, will describe the trend toward passive enrollment and authentication, what it is and why it's important for firms in financial services, telecommunications, retailing, healthcare, insurance and government. Jade Kahn, Solutions Marketing Manager at NICE, will then outline the steps that companies can take to move ahead with passive authentication and provide a proposed roadmap from contact center to support multiple customer and consumer touchpoints.
Register now to learn:
•Why is there so much excitement about passive enrollment?
•Where passive enrollment can be leveraged?
•What is involved from the caller's perspective
•What are the financial benefits in the contact center?
•Where do I start?

Beyond CTR: Tracking Mobile Ad Impact on Store Visits
Sep 10 2013
48 mins
Greg Sterling, Opus Research; David Shim, Placed; Monica Ho, xAd
The offline impact of digital ads has always been elusive. Marketers track "online conversions" mostly because they can't follow consumers into stores (where 94% of buying happens). But online conversions are just a fraction of "online-to-offline" sales.
Increasingly it's becoming possible to track how online/mobile ads directly impact offline consumer behavior. The implications are dramatic for all of digital media and marketing.
Placed CEO David Shim and xAd VP Monica Ho will discuss how new measurement tools let agencies, brands and marketers go beyond CTR to understand mobile advertising's impact on store visits.
Placed has developed a "Nielsen panel for the real world" and xAd is starting to use it on client campaigns. Join them, together with Greg Sterling, senior analyst with Opus Research, for a free webinar that will examine:
•The market trend toward closed-loop measurement
•How offline panel measurement works
•What new insights are now available to marketers, publishers and networks
•Why offline ROI measurement is a key to shifting more ad budgets to digital
•A just-completed case study on mobile-to-store measurement
Introduction to Indoor Location
Aug 21 2013
46 mins
Greg Sterling, Senior Analyst, Opus Research & Jon Rosen, EVP, iInside
One of the most profound developments in digital marketing, customer care and analytics is advent of indoor location. While this new "industry" is in its infancy, it's impact will be profound over time.
Indoor location and marketing are being made possible by the mass adoption of smartphones and nearly ubiquitous public WiFi. But we're just starting to imagine what's possible: more personalized shopping experiences, better data on customer behavior, and greater visibility into what online and mobile ads actually deliver people to the point of sale.
Indoor location represents the true marriage of the online with the offline. Yet indoor location and marketing are still not well understood. Join Jon Rosen, EVP with iInside, and Greg Sterling, senior analyst with Opus Research, as they explore:
• What indoor location technologies are in use today?
• What data can be captured and are being captured?
• Consumer willingness to share indoor location
• Specific retail and merchant case studies
• Privacy considerations
• Venue adoption timelines
• Broader digital marketing implications
The Defining Moments Series: Personal Virtual Assistants
Jul 31 2013
47 mins
Norman Winarsky (Siri Co-Founder & VP, SRI Ventures), Phil Gray (Executive Vice President, Interactions Corporation)
This is a "Defining Moment" for the PVA (Personal Virtual Assistant). More than two years have passed since Apple introduced us to Siri and raised expectations for mobile phones and other computing platforms to be able to recognize, understand and react to our spoken input. Siri's success, as well as its perceived deficiencies has attracted a slew of competitors, imitators and alternatives. This begs several questions:
What does the term "Virtual Assistant" mean?
What problems to Virtual Assistants solve?
Are they mobile, by definition, or are the prospects better for "branded" virtual assistants offered by business enterprises?
What tasks can we reasonably expect them to carry out for us today… and in the future?
What business models support PVAs? Do revenues come from transaction support? (Cost-savings for automating customer care, phone-based marketing, etc.)
Join us for an unrehearsed, spontaneous discussion that includes:
Norman Winarsky - Siri Co-Founder & VP of Ventures, SRI
Phil Gray - Executive Vice President, Interactions Corporation
Dan Miller - Senior Analyst and Founder, Opus Research

The "Friction-Free" Self-Service Challenge
Sep 11 2012
47 mins
Justin Lemrow, Director of Continuous Improvement, Contact Solutions; Dan Miller, Sr. Analyst, Opus Research
When customers call your company, they have a single objective in mind: Fast, frictionless results. They equate "service quality" with quick resolution of their problems by a live agent. If they are put on hold, confronted with confusing options or delivered to an individual who is not "up-to-speed" with their requirements, they think less of your company and its brand.
Customers equate satisfaction with reaching a live person. Yet our research and empirical data show that what customers really want is fast, friction-free resolution of their specific problems – whether its on a Web site, mobile app, voice response system or through a live agent. Achieving long-term customer satisfaction is a long-range goal that requires constant monitoring and improvement.
Join Dan Miller, Sr. Analyst at Opus Research, and Justin Lemrow, Director of Continuous Improvement at Contact Solutions, as they discuss how to strike the right balance between automated self-service and human assisted care in order to achieve high-levels of customer satisfaction at relatively low-levels of expense. Their observations will be grounded in the benchmark findings from a financial services company that conducts constant quality assessments of how well the company recognizes and resolves each customer's intent, interaction and perception.
Caller Authentication: Gateway to Better Customer Care Experience
Aug 1 2012
47 mins
Brett Beranek, Solutions Marketing Manager at Nuance, Dan Miller, Senior Analyst, Opus Research
A recent survey by Opus Research and Coleman Parkes found that 85% of callers felt dissatisfaction with the automated systems for handling caller authentication. This is a serious matter because 83% of calls to enterprise contact centers require some sort of caller validation or verification in order to be successful. Failure to authenticate is both a barrier to customer satisfaction and an expense to contact center operators.
Join Dan Miller, Sr. Analyst at Opus Research and Brett Beranek, Solutions Marketing Manager at Nuance, as they delve into the survey data to describe the root cause of caller discontent and propose new methods to overcome authentication speed bumps.
Finding the L Spot: The Hype and Reality of Local-Mobile Advertising
May 23 2012
49 mins
Monica Ho, xAd, Vice President of Marketing and Greg Sterling, Opus Research's Senior Analyst
Somewhere between 20% and 30% of traffic to many websites is now coming from mobile devices, depending on the category. In specific local categories the number is as high as 50%.
Consumers have repeatedly indicated their preference for localized ads and see them as more relevant than "generic" ads. There are also several very bullish forecasts for localized mobile advertising. Yet most "local" mobile ads aren't more specific than regional or metro-area targeting. And only about 5% of mobile ads carry a precise "lat-long."
Why is this the case and what must happen to realize the promise of "LoMo" advertising? Join Monica Ho, xAd Vice President of Marketing and Opus Research's Senior Analyst Greg Sterling for a discussion of the opportunities – and challenges – of locally targeted mobile advertising today.
Sterling will provide findings on consumer preferences for localized advertising as well as performance data comparing local-mobile ads to national ads. He'll also present a recent case study comparing ad performance across five mobile ad networks.
xAd's Monica Ho will talk about the opportunities and challenges of location targeting .She'll also present the 5 mobile marketing best practices that every marketer/agency should know in order to drive true performance out of mobile advertising.

Feb 2 2012
49 mins
Pat Carroll, CEO, ValidSoft - Dan Miller, Senior Analyst, Opus Research
Join two thought leaders in Voice Biometrics and Multi-Factor Authentication as they review lessons learned from over a decade of core technology evolution, solutions definition and real-world implementations of voice biometrics around the world. A recent surge in activity and interest signals a milestone in acceptance and adoption of multifactor authentication technologies.

Defining risk-aware, multi-modal and multi-layer solutions that includes voice biometrics
Addressing the objections of various stakeholders in security and customer care settings
Building the customer base by simplifying the enrollment process
Future proofing solutions by anticipating new requirements resulting from mobile users, new devices and natural changes (like aging)

painting bird baths
jamesbeestoneJune 14, 2009
is it safe to paint a metal bird baths it black bitumen paint. i don't want to do this if it risks harming the wild birds
I will also be interested in the answer to this question, since I have one bought several years ago, and is now peeling very badly. And I am not sure what kind of paint to use. My neighbor painted a concrete one with exterior house paint and I wonder about that too. The birds don't seem to mind!
I would not use bitumen paint. Exterior house paint works on concrete bird baths. It may blister under water though. For a metal birdbath you can use Rustoleaum or latex. Keep in mind that black gets hot in the sun so I would use it either in the shade or in cooler climes. All are safe for birds.

How to Stay Cool Without an Air Conditioner
In Seattle, many people don't have air conditioning. We just don't need it — the temperatures are mild most of the year, and in the summer we usually have one week of moderate heat that we manage to get through. But every couple of years or so, we get a massive heat wave. The rest of the country tends to scoff at our "heat." Many other cities and states in other areas of the country reach higher temperatures with higher humidity levels, and the Pacific Northwest tends to melt under far less pressure. However, people tend to forget my original point about the Pacific Northwest heat: we don't have air conditioning.

Is There an Air Purifier that Will Remove Neighbor's Cigarette Odor?
Good Questions
Q: I just moved into a studio apartment. There are no apartments below me or above me, but cigarette smoke from the neighbors on either side of me is seeping into my apartment. I came to see the apartment twice before I rented it and never detected the smell of cigarettes. I am extremely asthmatic and get blinding headaches from cigarette smoke. I just forked over a ton of money for this place, I can't move again anytime soon. I have researched air purifiers, and the ones that claim to remove odors are very expensive. I don't want to spend a lot of money unless it will definitely clean the air. Can someone recommend a really good air purifier that will remove the smell of cigarettes?

The truth unpacked
Samsung has done well with the Galaxy S4
Last week, I wrote about my predictions for the new Samsung Galaxy S4. This week, Samsung officially announced its new flagship device at its UNPACKED event.
Surprisingly, for a Samsung event, there was a lot of hype. Usually only Apple keynotes are watched, recorded, and talked about. At first glance, the average Joe would not notice a difference between the S3 and S4. The design is still very similar. It's a little taller than the GS3, but not by much. The only big difference is the GS3 had a 4.8-inch display and the GS4 has a five-inch screen.
One of the things that bothered me about the Galaxy S3 was that it always felt slimy. The shell was plastic and felt incredibly cheap. If I had sweaty palms the phone would get all gross and slip out of my hand.
The GS4 has squared edges and texture that makes the phone feel less slippery and cheap.
Let's start talking about specs. That five-inch screen is pretty awesome. Behind it is a 1080P super AMOLED (Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode) screen. This is quite revolutionary, as that screen technology has never been implemented into a smartphone until now.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 is ridiculously fast. It will come with a Samsung Exynos 5 or Qualcomm SnapDragon 600. The phone will come with 2GBs of RAM and will have a bigger 2,600 Ah battery. The battery on the Galaxy S3 was always a problem for me, so for Samsung to recognize that and make the phone a tiny bit taller so it could incorporate a bigger battery is a very good move.
Other GS3 owners I have talked to are in love with the device but they want to divorce the battery life. They told me they would upgrade to the GS4 just for the better battery. The phone will have three storage options as usual: 16, 32 and 64GB.
Another huge improvement for the GS4 is the camera. The rear-facing camera is now 13 mega-pixels. Wait while I catch my breath... that's a nice camera. The new camera also comes with some upgraded software components.
Have you ever photo-bombed a picture? I know I have done it lots of times. You know when that group of girls is posing for a picture and you sneak in the back an do an inappropriate gesture? Well if they are taking the photo on a Galaxy S4, you won't be there. The new camera has eraser mode, where it takes a series of pictures and erases the ones where movement was sensed. Phones are getting too smart.
The Galaxy S4 will be running Android version 4.2.2. This OS has many new features such as S-Translator, which translates emails into various languages; Air Gesture, which allows you to scroll down a web page by waving your hand up and down in the air (kind of pointless but totally awesome); Air View, which allows you to put your hand over an email to see the information behind the email.
Smart Pause & Smart Scroll are two gimmicky features that are supposed to make the screen go up and down as it follows your eyes while reading an email, web page, Twitter feed etc.
My favourite feature is S Health, a health-tracking system built right into your phone.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 is not supposed to blow your head off. I believe since the success of the Galaxy S3 was so big, they wanted to make a new device that improved on all of the other aspects to show that they are dedicated to making the best phone possible. Now I'm not saying the GS4 is the best phone you can possibly get. However, if you just read the specs and the new software features for Android, it's undoubtedly a top contender. Better screen, faster processor, much improved camera, lots of new software features.
I believe Samsung did a good job with its UNPACKED event and it also did well the Galaxy S4.

OK so I am at Wal-Mart getting some stuff for my mother that she needed. Now I am always looking at the people and checking for potential threats and so on. I also like to look at people, and one day I am going to find someone who I actually know. The trouble with a Military town is that many people you knew move away some times they come back.
I also wave and act silly with the small children who are there with their mothers. So I look down the isle and about half way down the lady stops her cart and starts looking at the canned goods, and her daughter (about 1 ½-2 years old reaches in the basket and grabs a small bag of something and drops it out of the cart. She leans over to see where it hit then sits up reaches around and grabs another and pulls it out and drops it on the floor, watching it after it hit.
I start laughing as she is reaching for another something, I must of laughed out loud because a store stocker asked if I was alright and I point to the little girl and she sees the girl drop the third thing and we both laugh. Needless to say it was cute to watch her do the 4th thing and we were still laughing. Then the little girl reaches down and pulls something glass out and I say to myself OOPS time to go as I walk off I hear the crash of glass, and the mother saying Lisa NOOOOO.
I am still laughing

How reliable are Casablanca fans?
Hello all,
I am going to put a ceiling fan in my living room. One fan I really like the look of is the Casablanca Stealth DC 54-Inch Ceiling Fan, However out on Amazon there are at least five negative reviews on it's reliability.
See http://www.amazon.com/Casablanca-Fan-Company-C45G45B-Stealth/product-reviews/B004TIZEBY/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
Does anyone have any experience with Casablanca fans? I don't want to make a $600.00+ mistake. Please note this is the DC model not the AC model.
Another option is a Emerson Luxe Eco Ceiling Fan but it only comes with walnut or mahogany blades and those colors don't work well in the living room due to the ivory ash hardwood floor, the tan chaparral walls, and the white Swiss coffee ceiling. I could get maple blades for the Casablanca stealth fan which would match the kitchen cabinets. However the stealth fan is no good to me if it doesn't work or fails quickly.
Thanks in advance for the help.
I am a fan of Casablanca fans. I do not have the Stealth but have had the Capistrano for 4 years. I bought mine from a local lighting store for a discounted price (they usually try to match online prices) and I was able to pick out the light and fan blades that I wanted. In fact, last year I changed the light unit because I needed more light in my office. I run the fan frequently and it is quite and efficient aside from the fact that it looks beautiful. The lighting store stands behind the products they sell. So, if you are unsure about the Stealth, I suggest buying from a lighting store who will assist you in the event of any problems. (I am an avid online purchaser, but there are certain things that I feel are better purchased locally.)
I have a Casablanca Metropolitan 6444A Antique Brass with Advan-Touch remote since 2003, that was $400, plus $90 for the light kit from a web site call Fan Shack.
In 2009 there was a power surge and it shorted the electrical board, which was $150 part + $100 in-home repair. At that time, the person said the flywheel was bent and needed replaced, which was an extra $40.
Since then it has been working fine until earlier this year the flywheel was warping again and dropping down. It was $50 part and $100 in-home repair (though this time I had a different company do it as they were referred by Casablanca). The repair tech said that the Casablanca models that use the flywheel are more quiet than the direct drive models, but the flywheels warp after 5-7 years of use and have to be replaced. He put some blue lock-tight on there so that it would hold better.
Even though the flywheel has to be replaced every 5-7 years depending, the fan and motor is still top notch, and I wouldn't replace it with another brand. In fact, if I ever need to replace our other 3 fans, I'd probably get Casablanca to replace then with, but probably a model without a flywheel.

Officer smiled on all life's challenges
To hear friends describe her, Columbia police Officer Molly Suzanne Bowden was as tough as nails and as gentle as God's touch.
"When I think of Molly, it always brings a smile to my face, as I think of her constant smile with the little extra bit of life that so few seem to know," said W.A. Locke III, an MU ROTC instructor who taught Bowden.
Columbia responds
Among the prayers said every Sunday at Calvary Episcopal Church, one is for people in civil authority.
The Rev. Fred Thayer said his church supports these officials because of the nature of their work. On Friday, after learning of the death of Officer Molly Bowden, Thayer sent a letter to police Chief Randy Boehm expressing his personal condolences.
Life of service honored
Columbia police Officer Molly Bowden will be honored with a full police funeral on Tuesday at Mizzou Arena.
The service will include a 21-gun salute and ceremonial last call. A police honor guard will act as escorts and be present during the service.
Difficult times ahead for police
The loss of a colleague can be difficult, even for those whose profession demands toughness and bravery.
"There can be very strong personal reactions on the part of police officers," said Wayne Anderson, professor emeritus of psychology at MU and adjunct professor of criminal justice at Columbia College.
Columbia schools respond to Bowden's death
From Mill Creek Elementary to Hickman High School, the death of Officer Molly Bowden has inspired an outpouring of support from students and faculty throughout Columbia.
Handmade cards from elementary classes, banners with student messages of appreciation for the police and weeklong fund-raisers for the Officer Down Fund are some of the contributions that have grown from some of the community's youngest members.
City planner job still vacant after 8 months
It doesn't bother City Manager Ray Beck that Columbia has gone without a planning director for more than eight months. Beck said it's not unusual to take this long to fill such a high-profile position.
The job has been vacant since Roy Dudark stepped down in early June. To date, 12 people have applied, city spokesman Robert Ross said.
Group aims to save stem-cell studies
JEFFERSON CITY — More than 60 research groups and foundations from across Missouri have united under one name in an effort to protect stem-cell research.
The Missouri Coalition for Lifesaving Cures formed last week to oppose a legislative proposal to ban human cloning as well as a procedure known as somatic cell nuclear transfer. The procedure uses a nucleus extracted from a human egg to study its stem cells, which some scientists say could cure many diseases, such as diabetes.
Farmers' market building examined for sports use
A farmers' market located in the same building as recreational basketball courts could present a fresh take on the concept of after-game treats.
That's one scenario facing the Columbia Farmers' Market, which hopes to create a permanent, year-round home, as it nears a city-imposed deadline.
Face of women's movement doesn't like to stress looks
Gloria Steinem, whose spoken and written words have influenced history for decades, knows that how she looks has played a part in her success.
But she doesn't like it.
17 report abuse by former priest
Five more people have come forward stating they were abused by former priest John Degnan, said Sister Ethel Marie Biri of the Diocese of Jefferson City. Seventeen abuse cases have been reported to the diocese as of Friday.
The diocese made announcements Jan. 15 at the Montgomery City parish and Jan. 22 at Pilot Grove, Boonville and Westphalia that Degnan, who turns 80 this week, might have sexually abused at least a dozen boys during the 1960s and 1970s in mid-Missouri parishes. They asked those who knew of such abuse to come forward.
Contentious elections compared
Recent reports by non-governmental groups on the Iraqi election and the Jan. 9 Palestinian presidential election reveal similar problems and stress the need for high levels of security.
Election officials and international observers focused on reports of poll-worker preparedness, freedom of movement and the importance of widespread civic participation. Security issues in Iraq prevented international organizations from directly monitoring the elections and limited the monitoring capacity of domestic groups.
Schools to decide Cingular contract
On Monday, following up on its January meeting, the Columbia Board of Education will review its contract with Cingular Wireless and the company's proposal to build a cellular tower on the grounds of West Boulevard Elementary School.
The tower would be a 60-foot flagpole-type tower. The contract between Cingular Wireless and Columbia Public Schools "will not be executed until both parties agree upon the actual location of the tower, an appropriate fence and completion of contract," according to a press release.
The power of words
When Sean Hickem was a student at Hickman High School in the early 1990s, he stood in the hallway and rapped about fellow students as they passed by. Hickem says he didn't take his rapping seriously.
He didn't know that more than a decade later he would be teaching poetry to young writers. Last month, Hickem, 30, started a six-week writing workshop for 10- to 16-year-olds at the Columbia Public Library.
Trip to Tucson fast becomes ill-fated visit
We arrived in Tucson at 8 p.m. It was raining and cold. I had spent most of the day either in an airport or flying to our destination. I was hungry and grumpy, and the miserable weather did nothing to lift my spirits.
When we found our room at the resort, I closed the door on the weather and fell asleep almost before my head hit the pillow.
Columbia is... SAVVY
Savvy (sav´e)
Adj. sav·vi·er, sav·vi·est
Well-informed and perceptive; shrewd.
n. practical understanding or shrewdness, as with fashion or money: a banker known for financial savvy.
Signing to God
Music bursts from two speakers set up in front of the basement meeting room. More than 70 pairs of hands move in the air and clap to the beat of the song. Although the sounds of piano and guitar reverberate deep in the chests of those signing their praises to God, the vast majority of the congregants cannot hear a note of the music.
And although their song is unspoken, they know God hears every word.
Peace of Mind
It is 4:45 p.m. on a Wednesday, and the floor of Benton-Bingham Ballroom in Memorial Union resembles naptime at a preschool. Forty stressed-out, shoeless MU students lay on their backs at varying angles, some wiggling their toes, others with their hands folded neatly on their bellies.
As Lynn Rossy sits cross-legged in a chair at the front of the room, her gentle, slow voice washes over the bodies lying on the floor. For the next 25 minutes, Rossy talks her students through "body scan" meditation, which causes them to become fully aware of every part of their bodies, from the tips of their toes to each strand of their hair.
At law school, mindfulness requirement in mediation program triggers debate
When Leonard Riskin learned that third-year law student Andy Hirth found Jon Kabat-Zinn's lecture at the Missouri Theatre to be religious in nature, the MU law professor was shocked.
"I was totally surprised when he said what Jon Kabat-Zinn did was religious," said Riskin, who is in charge of mindfulness programs at the MU School of Law. "That seemed almost inexplicable."
Police struggle with loss of fellow officer
The 3 p.m. shift change at the Columbia Police Department was unnaturally quiet on Thursday, as police starting or ending their shifts learned that fellow officer Molly Bowden had died earlier that day.
"It is something we have all braced ourselves for," Capt. Sam Hargadine said. "And while we hoped for the best, we are now faced with dealing with it."
Police: Suspects returned to scene
Jeong Im's killer or killers most likely returned to the scene of the crime about one hour after the slaying to set the 72-year-old MU researcher's car on fire, MU police said Thursday.
After weeks of investigation, police have also narrowed down the time of Im's stabbing to sometime between 10:30 and 10:45 a.m. on Jan. 7. His body was found by police in the trunk of his 1995 Honda at 12:24 p.m. on the third level of the Maryland Avenue parking garage on the MU campus.

"Dry As Dust"
An interesting plot and characters? It's told from one character's point of view, and that character is BORING.
Somewhat amusing.
Not really.

GamesBeat Summit is invite-only -- apply here. Ticket prices increase on April 3rd! Fledgling social network Google+ had its best traffic month ever in December, with more than 49 million U.S. visits, a sign that the company's bet on social is slowing paying off. Several pundits previously wondered if Google+ would become a graveyard after several studies showed traffic declines, with one eye-popping Chitika study in October showing traffic had fallen 60 percent. But Google's decision to incorporate the network into other products like Gmail and Google Reader have paid off in higher traffic and more steady interest in the network. And while it doesn't begin to touch Facebook's staggering traffic in the slightest, Google+ is at least growing. Experian Hitwise first revealed the details of Google+'s steady growth in a tweet with an accompanying chart. The tracking company notes that Google+'s traffic in December was up about 55 percent from November traffic and collected more than 49 million U.S. visits. No doubt CEO Larry Page and Chairman Eric Schmidt are smiling at those numbers. Unofficial Google+ statistician and Ancestry.com founder Paul Allen, who has previously been accurate in his tracking, said last week that Google+ now has about 62 million registered users and is signing up 625,000 new users per day. Allen estimates that, based on that rate of growth, Google+ should expect to see 100 million users by the end of February, and it could potentially end 2012 with 293 million members. See Experian Hitwise's Google+ traffic chart below: VentureBeat's VB Insight team is studying email marketing tools. Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

Product Love
If you aren't looking for just any run of the mill wedding band, then you've got to check out Catbird. The NYC-based store and online shop has a huge selection of unique, one-of-a-kind jewelry. This gold wedding band by Claire Kinder Studio is one of my favorites of the shop. I can't get over the 13 gorgeous baguette diamonds – a totally under utilized cut if you ask me. I also adore the 14kt yellow gold (it also comes in white and rose gold) with the milgrain finishing. To top it off, this stunner was handmade in NYC and the diamonds are conflict free.

Thanks to all who are serving or have served our country. And thanks to the family & friends that support those who are serving. I sure don't understand all that goes on with our country and the decisions but truly admire and respect those in the forces. They are awesome!
I am sure we have many storage facilities that are "serving" those that serve us. What does your facility do in the way of discounts etc for the military?

Slavery abolished by Christians, not the "Enlightenment"
Having for most of my life believed that our acceptance of equality — racial, class, gender — was the result of the overthrow of past superstitions and prejudice by reason, I was perplexed: why had the fight against slavery, and the concern for aboriginal peoples, been so overwhelmingly the province of religious? … Hume, Voltaire, and Kant saw the African — the non-European, generally — as beyond the category of human to which the European belonged; race concerned them (particularly Kant) only to the extent that it could show the superiority of the European. It was not the philosophies of Paris or Edinburgh or East Prussia who fought slavery, but the evangelical Christians and Quakers who drew their inspiration not from philosophy but from "superstitious religion". It was from the Evangelical Revival that the loudest claims for what we now call racial equality came.1

According to her hospital records, an emergency room doctor described her as "well developed, well nourished," and he noted "no edema," which is the swelling of the feet and legs.
That's potentially significant. If a patient has kwashiorkor, physicians expect to see symmetrical edema, or swelling, on the lower limbs, and working upward as the disease progresses, three experts told California Watch.
The emergency room doctor concluded that Courtois was suffering from acute kidney failure. He noted seven other possible diagnoses. Among them he listed "malnutrition," despite his earlier description of her as "well nourished."
After Courtois was admitted to the hospital, another doctor examined her. He didn't note any edema or malnutrition and agreed she suffered from acute kidney failure. In dictated notes, he said he would keep her on intravenous hydration and consult with a kidney specialist.
Five days later, Courtois went home. A doctor who examined her before she was discharged said she was feeling better after an attack of kidney failure. He listed some 14 medications to take upon discharge, most of them drugs to control heart problems.
Once a patient is stabilized, doctors normally provide nutritional supplements and antibiotics because kwashiorkor victims are prone to serious infections. Courtois said she did not receive nutritional supplements.
Courtois signed a waiver allowing California Watch to obtain her Medicare billing information from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
In the bill it submitted to Medicare for Courtois, the hospital used a numeric diagnostic code to report that Courtois had been treated for acute kidney failure. As a complication, the hospital noted the numeric code for kwashiorkor.
Experts say that if a patient has kwashiorkor, intervention is critically important.
That's because it's a "high-mortality, high-fatality disease," said Marie-Sophie Whitney, senior nutritionist for the international humanitarian organization Action Against Hunger.
Treatment typically begins with the therapeutic milk product called F-75, which was invented specifically for severe malnutrition, said Jessica Tilahun, a nutrition adviser for the U.S. Agency for International Development. People with kwashiorkor are very ill, she said, and must be monitored carefully.
"Their body is in such a state of crisis ... they have to sip because if they eat too much too fast, it will alter the electrolytes in their body and can send them into heart failure," Tilahun said.

I am just now stating a compost pile, am starting with a boatload of sycamore leaves. I have 2 questions. Will live oak leaves be too acidic for good compost? And is it advisable to use spanish moss in the compost. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
carolb_w_fl(zone 9/10)
You can use it all - tho I think the live oak leaves may be slower to decompose than others. I understand Spanish moss is high in nitrogen...?
Shredding the tougher stuff will help it break down faster.

THIS IS TOTALLY OUT OF F-ING LINE!!! No one, and I mean NO ONE makes any comments about someones family!!!!
"As Mark Twain once opined: ""It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.""
You want serious comments??
Take your own advise!!!
"Here's a thought--take a look at the threads on this list and see how many have ended with a Giulietta comment. Why so many? Could it be because his response is the absolute definitive word on the subject, or is it because he has taken the content of the thread to nadir?"
Maybe, just maybe it's because he spends more time here than you and alot of others????? Maybe he answers more questions than you???? Does he do it with humor, I hope so.
If you want serious threads, post them. If you want serious replies to questions, provide them. Don't lurk in the shadows and complain things aren't to your liking!!!!
I think this thread brings up a valid concern that we should all be aware of. I confess to being a prime offender, but that is also one of the reasons I come here. If this were to become a straight Q&A forum it would be boring and I can find that on any number of other site.
Cam- How many PM's did you get on this topic? More than there are regular contributors who also post jokes??? I doubt it.
