On July 10, 2013, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) issued two Bulletins that address debt collection practices. The first Bulletin, CFPB Bulletin 2013-07, discusses acts or practices that could potentially constitute an unfair, deceptive or abusive act or practice (UDAAP) in violation of the UDAAP provisions in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("Dodd-Frank Act"). The second Bulletin, CFPB Bulletin 2013-08, addresses representations regarding the effect that debt payments may have on a consumer's credit report, credit score or creditworthiness and sets forth the CFPB's supervisory expectations on these issues.
The Bulletins were accompanied by a set of form letters intended for consumers to use when communicating with debt collectors, and they also coincide with a field hearing in Maine on debt collection that marks the CFPB's acceptance of debt collection complaints through its consumer response system. This alert focuses on the two Bulletins.

Pollster: Faulconer a 'template' for GOP success in San Diego
Q: Obama's 2012 coattails seem underappreciated in California. How strong was the Obama effect in 2012?
A: Large and substantial. It was probably the reason why Carl DeMaio is not mayor currently. Fifteen percent of the electorate that actually voted in that race in 2012 didn't know enough about Bob Filner and Carl DeMaio to have an opinion of either. I call those people "coin flippers" because essentially what they're doing is they go into the voting booth and they flip a coin and make a decision. Now they voted three times as often for Bob Filner. The coin flippers looked at Bob Filner's employment designation on the ballot, U.S. congressman and educator, and that sounded a lot better to them than Carl DeMaio's, which was San Diego businessman and councilman.
Q: In California there's this assumption that unions are dominant and they're running the show. But the Field Poll that came out last fall showed a decline in support. Even in union households, 31 percent are uneasy about union power. Are things changing?
A: I retweeted that poll and, yes, I think things are changing. Are they flipping? I wouldn't go that far. But I think there is a sentiment change going on within the state of California. It will be very interesting to see how far it goes. However far it goes will be very predictive of Republican and I would just say nonunion successes in the near future.
Q: Do you buy the theory that the decline of the Cold War and relative affluence of our society are leading to more and more people not voting their pocketbook and just voting to show solidarity with sides on the big issues of the day?
A: I completely agree with that. Voters are not as tethered to the issues they were in the past. In that vacuum goes things like personality and other things — social issues that if you were back in the '70s or '80s were sorts of non-hardcore issues. Those sorts of things are more important. It's what they say about you as a candidate and how they project you as a leader, your charisma, your character.

Burma's Aung San Suu Kyi Released
Tuesday, November 16, 2010
Suzanne DiMaggio, director of policy studies at the Asia Society, discusses the release of Aung San Suu Kyi from her house arrest in Burma.
Guests:Suzanne DiMaggio
Comments [2]
i hope it works out better than it did for benazir bhutto
Suu Kyi says all the right things and is admirable, there is no question. But don't fool yourselves. She is also out to avenge her father's assassination from these rival generals, who are the descendents of her father's rivals.
The minorities, straddling the borders of the country, do not have such rose colored views. They see her as their only hope, but they are far from blindly loyal, unlike most Burmese...

To make the paste, roughly rub the suet into flour add the salt, parsley and horseradish. Add enough water to make a dough, soft not sticky, knead lightly until smooth. Rest for 30 minutes. Use ¾ of the dough and pin out to circle. Put into a buttered 2 litre (3 pt) pudding basin to overlap the edges.
Heat the dripping in pan.
Cut the meat (boar and kidney) into 1" dice, shake with flour, season and shake off excess. Fry in batches to colour outsides then put to drain and then into bowl.
Cut the mushrooms into large pieces and colour in pan with button onions then add to meat. Add chopped onion, parsley, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce and allow to cool. Pile into the basin.
Mix red wine and stock and add enough to just cover the meat. Pin out the last ¼ of pastry into a circle to cover the pudding. Wet the edges of the pudding and put pastry on top, seal well.
Cover with a piece of buttered greaseproof then with muslin and tie to seal. Steam for 4 hours. Leave to stand for 5 minutes and turn out.
Brush with melted butter and serve.

The time was nine-thirty in the evening, just the beginning of the chic hour for dinner in Mexico City. In the quiet residential street outside Isadora restaurant, drivers circled for parking places like vultures, while taxi doors slammed behind couples and foursomes: leggy blondes swathed in silk and square-jawed young men who could have stepped out of an Armani ad. Streaming in with these designer people were a sprinkling of dignified older couples, open-collared junior executives, birthday celebrants, and gaga tourists.
No doubt most of these devotees had come of Carmen Ortuño's sleek, art deco restaurant for French cuisine. But to a small number of adventurers, the dishes listed on a small card attached to the big glossy menu were by far more interesting. " Especialidades Mexicanas," the card read—Mexican Specialties. What was revolutionary in this seemingly mundane declaration was that Mexican food was here, jostling for space in one of the most la-di-da restaurants in Mexico City. Mexico has always been passionate about its native cuisine, but it has never quite believed that anyone else shared the conviction—at least, not anyone who counted. That attitude is now under siege. A small but dedicated cadre of reformers is fashioning a credo that says Mexican cooking is not just a peasant, stay-at-home cooking style but an international one. Dress up a mole oaxaqueño with silver and chine and it is in no way inferior to a sauce bordelaise or a pesto. In fact, there's no reason that dishes from the different cuisines should not coexist. Suddenly, the dinner table is being transformed into a forum at which Mexico is coming to terms with who it is.
A friend and I perused Isadora's specialties while our cat-footed waiter dispensed bread and chunks of dewy butter. Then he whipped out his order book and raised his eyebrows. What would it be, señoritas? Cream of cilantro soup with clams? Ravioli filled with cuitlachoche? Crab salad tostada? Filet mignon with a cheese sauce and epazote? We had never seen such dishes before. Complex forces were obviously astir here: French sauces were getting it on with chiles. Italian pasta was sidling up to south-of-the-border fillings. Gallic soups were intermingling with native greens. The menu was an international free-for-all in which taste held equal status with tradition. What to order, indeed.
Isadora is the most visible of three prominent restaurants in Mexico City that are pushing the capital's cuisine to its logical limits and beyond. In much the same way that French restaurants embraced nouvelle cuisine and certain American trend-setters adopted Southwestern cuisine, this trio—Isadora, La Galvia, and Los Naranjos—has tossed the traditions of Mexico into the cooking pot along with those of other countries and is dishing up the results to a circle of eager admirers. The pioneers are, moreover, part of a tiny but resolute movement of well-placed Mexican cooking teachers, caterers, writers, and merchants who have taken as their goal a daunting task: to raise Mexico's rich culinary heritage to its rightful place among the loftiest cuisines of the world. Fewer than two dozen people are involved in this mannerly revolution, but they have arrived at the common belief that thought Mexico's regional cuisine must be preserved, it must also evolve. Their efforts offer a look at the traditions of Mexican cooking and a glimpse of where it might be headed.
In the light reflected from Isadora's stark white walls and smart black chairs, all of the Mexican specialties sounded exotic. Some dishes were thoroughly ethnic, like cochinita pibil, the pit-roasted pork of the Yucatán, while others were more international, such as fish in hollandaise sauce with a whiff of searing chile chipotle. But of all of them, the ravioli seemed to offer the greatest opportunities for cultural exploration. Sparingly arranged on the plate, the neat pasta packages came lightly filled with cuitlacoche, the bulbous gray-skinned fungus that grows on ears of corn and melts into a liquid, inky blackness when cooked. The surprising thing was not the fungus; it has been eaten in Mexico since prehistoric times. What was unusual was finding it as a stuffing for ravioli instead of for the traditional crêpes (Mexico, remember, was once ruled by France). And the sauce—a light French-style cream sauce with a touch of chile poblano—was a revelation as well.
More amazing, however, was the fact that the Mexicans were eating it up. And the credit for that goes in large part to Isadora's owner, Carmen Ortuño, a businesswoman with movie-star looks and the soul of a poet. "I don't consider mine a new cuisine but a new way of seeing," she mused over tea at a small granite-topped table in the restaurant's starkly stylish downstairs bar. Five years ago, Ortuño opened the restaurant, something she had dreamed of since she was thirteen. Soon, she said, "I began to see in my head this different kind of food. I wanted to do a mixture of cultures—pre-Hispanic, French, Italian, and others. I would have new recipes but with the ancient aromas of the marketplace."
In doing so, Ortuño was continuing and expanding the change that had begun some two decades earlier in Mexico City, when native food first began to move out of its natural habitat in little fondas, mercados, and street vendors' stands and into middle- and upper-class restaurants. The transition was gradual because the Mexican people are fundamentally conservative, but it was also hampered by an abiding belief that the proper place for tortillas, frijoles, and caldos (soups) was in the home, or at least not far from it.
A profound schism typified the thinking of that day: Mexican food—delicious, marvelously varied, endlessly inventive Mexican food—was peasant food. Everyone ate it, of course, even rich people, because it was what their maids and cooks prepared. But 25 years ago, no Mexico City restaurant of note would have considered putting a regional sauce like a mole or a pipián on the menu. To be worthy of the name "restaurant," an establishment had to be

Jagan urges people to vote for YSRC to bring 'Rajanna Rajyam'.
The dingy lanes of this sleepy town were bustling with activity on Saturday, as the president of the YSR Congress Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy took out a road show through the town. Mr. Jagan had been campaigning for the elections to the municipalities and municipal corporations in the district. A convoy of over a dozen cars entered into the Municipal Market Street, where hundreds of activists of the YSRC welcomed their leader with the party flags.
Mr. Jagan greeted people by waving and folding his hands. Amid playing of trumpets, bursting of crackers and playing of the party songs , the party workers gave him a grand welcome to the town. Some enthusiasts showered flower petals on their leaders, while the others competed with one another to record their close moments with the leader with their mobile phones.
The moving convoy had a brief halt near the municipal market, where Mr. Jagan got down from the vehicle and interacted with a few people. An enthusiastic party worker brought a ceiling fan, the symbol of the YSRC, on which the party flag had been engraved.
Braving the scorching sun, people of different age groups rounded him and greeted him with smiles. Mr. Jagan urged them to cast their vote for the YSRC in the ensuring elections, so that he could address all their problems . Though he had not made any speech, he told people that their vote could bring them 'Rajanna Rajyam.' Children had a gala time in mingling with people and raising slogans, while a few elderly people sitting under trees began discussions on the possible outcome of the ensuing elections. The road show proceeded towards Peddapuram town.

At 31, Jen realizes that she and husband Jesse married too young, and have grown too far apart. Jesse doesn't see it that way: a connection like theirs comes along only once in a lifetime and he doesn't want to squander it. He has one final chance to convince her, at the annual Halloween party thrown in Brooklyn by their old college friends Kevin and Julie (who, as it turns out, have drama and secrets of their own). "Bastards of Young" is a revealing look at the absurdities and complications of early adult life, posing the central question of creeping adulthood: Is the life we once imagined for ourselves still what we want?

IPOH: Perak CPO Deputy Comm Datuk Zulkifli Abdullah has warned members of the public, including any elected state representatives who have no business entering the State Secretariat building, not to gather there today.
DCP Zulkifli said anyone converging near the State Secretariat building would be deemed as going against the law and considered as taking part in an illegal gathering.
Only officials, employees and those with permits would be allowed in, he said in a statement yesterday.
On Friday, state assembly Speaker V. Sivakumar had called for an emergency sitting of the State Assembly today by invoking Standing Orders 8 and 11, to vote on two motions.
DCP Zulkifli said police have been informed by the State Secretariat administration that the emergency sitting would not be taking place.
He also said the state assembly secretary had stated on Sunday that the meeting was invalid because it had not received the consent of the Perak Ruler.

J. Martin Erbaugh Appointed Chairman of New Center for Entrepreneurship and Business Innovation Advisory Board at Kent State UniversityPosted Oct, 5, 2009
Julie Messing, director of Kent State University's Center for Entrepreneurship and Business Innovation (CEBI), has announced that J. Martin Erbaugh has been appointed chairman of the center's new advisory board. As chair, Erbaugh will utilize his extensive business network to identify advisory board candidates and encourage their involvement with CEBI. He will also help guide CEBI in establishing the policies and procedures for board members.
Erbaugh presently is president and CEO of J. M. Erbaugh Co. which deals in diversified investments, real estate and consulting. He founded Lawnmark in 1978, which focused on horticultural services. He served on the board of Lesco Inc. as chairman until 2007, and co-founded Morgan Bank in Hudson, Ohio, and served on its board and as chairman. He also serves on the board of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and LNB Bancorp.
"Marty is an individual with considerable numbers of contacts in the business community across Northeast Ohio and beyond," says Rick Kolbe, Ph.D., associate dean for faculty for the College of Business Administration. "He will be able to help us engage many individuals in the workings of the CEBI."
Erbaugh expects creation of the advisory board to take some time.
"It may take two to three years to get it structured the way we want it," he says. "We want a large network of advisors to draw on – 50 to 60 from all of the various Northeast Ohio communities that we can get engaged with the program who will be available for speaking in classes and donate time to engage with the students."
Messing says the intent of the advisory board is to provide entrepreneurial experts that will help the CEBI fulfill its mission of providing students with entrepreneurial experiences.
"Exposing students to the thinking of multiple individuals with significant entrepreneurship experience will truly enhance their knowledge and business savvy," she says. "Board members will work directly with students to foster their entrepreneurial dreams by making them a reality. By engaging the business community with the business school, we demonstrate to this group of influential individuals that our programs offer excellent business training and that our students can compete with graduates from any business school."
Board members will work with students on student-run and student-initiated businesses as mentors, consultants and board members of these businesses, and could potentially become investors. Erbaugh and selected board members will be involved in CEBI events, including the Solomon Lecture Series and the annual Entrepreneurship Extravaganza.
Entrepreneurs interested in joining the center's advisory board may contact Erbaugh at 330-650-4365 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Having assumed leadership of the free world in last year's hit thriller Air Force One, Harrison Ford should be flying high these days. In fact the actor recently purchased a helicopter to complement the three planes he already owns. Ford, who has been flying for about three years, is now in Texas taking helicopter lessons. Coincidentally, he plays a rough-and-ready pilot in his next film 6 Days, 7 Nights, a romantic comedy due in July which costars Anne Heche and David Schwimmer. Since 7 Nights has already finished filming, Ford should have plenty of time to play with his latest toy before he begins working on his next project, the Sydney Pollack-directed Random Hearts, a drama, in September....
Danger, Will Robinson fans! Unlike most of the cast in the popular Lost in Space TV series, which ran from 1965 to 1968, Billy Mumy will not be making a cameo in the $70 million film version opening April 3. I hear he wanted a larger role—like Matt LeBlanc's part as the ship's pilot Maj. Don West—than the one filmmakers offered him as a mere space fighter pilot. But Mumy's manager, Susan Dietz, claims that a variety of factors blocked his appearance, including the shooting schedule on his current show, Babylon 5. But Space stalwarts June Lockhart, Mark Goddard, Marta Kristen and Angela Cartwright, who played the mom, the major, Judy and Penny Robinson, respectively, will be on board, as will their faithful robot. Prof. John Robinson, played by Guy Williams, died of a heart attack in 1989, while Jonathan Harris took a pass on the film because he was not asked to reprise his role as the creepy saboteur Dr. Zachary Smith....
Perhaps because The Postman landed in the dead letter bin, nobody really noticed that the movie's star, Kevin Costner, joined gospel-turned-pop singer Amy Grant in a duet of the Lovin' Spoonful's "You Didn't Have to Be So Nice" that can be heard over the closing credits. A source close to the actor tells me that Costner loves to sing and is a huge fan of Grant's. I'm also told he was in a band in the mid-'80s that released an album in Japan. Still, says the source, "he's not about to quit his day job and start touring or anything."...
Two weeks after her ex-boyfriend Woody Allen married her oldest daughter, Soon-Yi Previn, on Dec. 23 in Venice, Mia Farrow took seven of her children to a ceremony at Ellis Island in the waters just off Manhattan to see 42 immigrants from 25 different nations become naturalized United States citizens. "I really wanted my kids to see the process, because with them—since they were children—we just did it through the mail," Farrow says, referring to the fact that seven of her 14 children were adopted from overseas. "I also wanted to show them the Statue of Liberty. It was magic for them. And I'd never been there either, so it was a wonderful day."

MORRISVILLE, Pa. (AP) — Republican Mitt Romney sprinted through battleground states on Sunday with a renewed pledge to bring a spirit of cooperation to Washington.
Romney pledges bipartisanship in final push
He also promised to pursue an agenda that would alienate most Democrats on his first day in office.
In campaign stops in Iowa, Ohio and Pennsylvania, Romney reminded voters that on Day One, he would begin to repeal President Barack Obama's signature health care law. He also wants to weaken labor unions and overturn Democrat-backed legislation that overhauled the nation's financial system.
But the polarizing priorities are not his focus at swelling rallies in the presidential contest's final hours.
With an eye toward undecided voters — women and independents in particular — Romney is vowing to work closely with "good Democrats" if elected. The pledge of bipartisan cooperation fueled Obama's candidacy four years ago and remains a key piece of the incumbent's message. But for Romney, the bipartisan appeal became the focus of his closing argument only in recent weeks.
"On Nov. 6 we're going to come together for a better future. On Nov. 7, we'll get to work," Romney told an Iowa crowd estimated at 4,400. "You reach across the street to that neighbor with the other yard sign. And I'll reach across the aisle to people in the other party, people in good faith, because this time demands bringing America together."
But beyond recent campaign trail speeches, there is little sign that Romney has laid the groundwork to bridge the partisan divide in Washington.
He offers a distinctly partisan tone in a new ad running in North Dakota this week, urging voters there to elect Senate candidate Rick Berg to "stop the liberal Reid-Pelosi agenda."
And Romney had little, if any, communication with Democratic leaders in recent days as he monitored the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. He reached out to East Coast governors for updates, but only Republicans.
His campaign would not say whether Romney's transition team, which has already begun to craft legislation and executive orders designed for release on his first day in office, has reached out to Democrats on Capitol Hill.
"I don't think there's been any outreach," adviser Kevin Madden said aboard Romney's campaign plane Sunday. "Once we win, I think the governor is going to do his best to work with as many folks as possible."
Romney's Day One agenda includes a plan he dubbed the "Down Payment on Fiscal Sanity Act" to cut nondiscretionary spending by 5 percent. He also promises to issue what he calls "An Order to Pave the Way to End Obamacare" and an "Order to Empower American Businesses and Workers" that would reverse policies "that tilt the playing field in favor of organized labor," according to Romney's website.

Trey Songz - Last Time
Artist: Trey Songz
Producer: Bryan-Michael Cox & Kendrick "Wyldcard" Dean
Album: Trey Day
Avg Rating: 4.4 ( 102 votes )
In early August, Trey Songz couldn't help but wait for a woman he knew was unhappy with her man. Five months, one album, and a bunch of hype later, Trey gets caught up in the limelight and ends up with a chick "on the side." Not wanting to live a double life, the Virginia-native lets her know that tonight will be their Last Time. Following the current trend of "relationship issues are pulling my material in two separate ways" (Loso's Make Me Better/Baby Don't Go, K. Smith's Better Man/Human Nature), expect Last Time to chart around the same place that Can't Help But Wait was found. Last Time is the third single from Songz' sophomore album, Trey Day, now available in stores and online.

I'm a new user of Audio Jungle, and my company (an interactive agency) is trying to purchase multiple tracks. The material is awesome, but the purchaser experience, not so much.
Why am I limited to $100 worth of material? I need 6 or 7 tracks, averaging $70 each, but PayPal won't let me make more than two purchases at a time.
Help! I want to give you money and I can't.
Welcome to the marketplace schroedpot!
Agreed, I don't know why that's the limit and it has always seemed rather low, but Envato does have a link/note on the deposit page (by the big stack of coins image) where you can contact them to deposit more than the $100 amount. Essentially it just opens a support ticket, and I bet you could just simply paste your exact forum message
I dont have personal experience with depositing more than $100, but I'm sure they'll get back to you shortly with details. Hope everything works out, and happy hunting!
Thanks for the reply, SchwartzSound. I'm glad I'm not alone. The first thing I did was submit a help ticket, but so far no response.
It's kind of unbelievable to have all this great product to sell with no shopping cart and a limit on how much one can buy. Seems self-defeating and counter-intuitive.
Hi schroedpot,
If I understand you correctly, you want to Deposit more then $100 right?
If this is the case you can deposit 2 or more times and the result will be the same (it will just be 2 transactions of $100 totaling $200). Or PayPal doesn't allow you to do this?
Thanks, and that's worth a try. I think it was PayPal that said the additional orders can't be completed.
The problem is I'm using my personal PayPal account for company purchases, and I hate to deposit my own extra money here. which might not be used, rather than just buying the track for the exact price.
There's no way to use a company credit card, right? Not too many larger businesses use PayPal.

Brenda Leyland, who admitted sending abusive messages to Kate and Gerry McCann, has been found dead in a Leicester hotel, days after she was confronted by Sky News about her 'trolling'.
Leyland, 63, was found dead on Saturday, says The Guardian. Police are not treating her death as suspicious.
She was said by neighbours to have left her home last week after she was 'doorstepped' by Sky. The Guardian points out that no direct link can be made between the interview and Leyland's death.
Sky broadcast its encounter with Leyland last Wednesday, claiming she was one of dozens of people who attacked the McCanns, whose daughter Madeleine went missing from Praia da Luz in 2007, via online forums including Twitter.
Crime correspondent Martin Brunt confronted Leyland as she got into her car outside her home in the Leicestershire village of Burton Overy. He asked her why she had sent abusive messages to the couple.
After initially refusing to answer, Leyland said: "I'm entitled to." When she was told a file of evidence had been passed to the police by Sky, she said: "That's fair enough."
Leyland later invited the reporter into her home without cameras and explained she "had questions for the McCanns" but "hoped she hadn't broken the law" in her posts.
Sky said Leyland had used the Twitter alias 'Sweepyface' to send abuse. It said she was not the worst of the several alleged abusers. Police are said to be investigating the allegations.
The BBC says Sky has issued a statement saying: "We were saddened to hear of the death of Brenda Leyland. It would be inappropriate to speculate or comment further at this time."
02 October
An 80-page dossier of "venomous" internet abuse directed at the family of Madeleine McCann has been handed to the Metropolitan Police, reveals Sky News.
Detectives are in discussion with the Crown Prosecution Service after receiving the dossier, which includes graphic images, death threats and groundless suggestions that Kate and Gerry McCann were involved in the disappearance of their daughter in Portugal in 2007.
Included in the catalogue of Tweets, Facebook posts and messages from online forums are suggestions that the McCanns should be tortured or killed, and calls for them to "burn in hell". Some of the vitriolic postings are directed at Madeleine's younger siblings.
In a typical exchange on an internet forum, one poster writes: "These 2 should burn in hell". The replies it received include: "I will supply the petrol" and "I'll supply the lighter - happily". Another poster writes that they would like to see Madeleine's parents "smashed up the back of a bus or trampled by horses".
The campaigners who compiled the dossier are calling on police and MPs to act against the trolls. The head of the appeal told Sky News: "We're very worried that it's only going to take somebody to act out of some of these discussions, some of the threats that have been made, and we couldn't live with ourselves if that happened and we had done nothing."
In response, Scotland Yard said: "In consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service and the McCann family the material will now be assessed and decisions made as to what further action if any should be undertaken."
Earlier this week another internet troll, 33-year-old Peter Nunn, who sent abusive Twitter messages threatening to rape Labour MP Stella Creasy after she campaigned to put Jane Austen on the £10 note, was jailed for 18 weeks.

I precook hamburger meat, freeze it in storage bags( however much you'd need for a dinner), then just toss it in stuff. Spaghetti, tacos, chili, etc. You can do the same with cooked cut up chicken.
Spaghetti.. boil the noodles, add the hamburger to a jar of sauce, heat it and you're done.
Chili.. Heat the meat, add tomatoes,onion, canned beans and seasonings, let it simmer for however long, it's done.
Things like that. Takes less than half the time, and I can buy the big packs of meat to cook all at once, leaving me several meals worth.
Shrimp with pasta
Chicken wraps
Frozen buffalo chicken strips in a wrap or on a salad
Crock pot chili or beef roast as a sandwich
Chicken Tacos:
Can of corn
Can of black beans
Taco seasoning
Jar of salsa
Cook 6-8 hours, shred chicken with fork, serve with tortillas. Actually is really good in a quesadilla.
Chicken Cacciatore
Mushroom (can or fresh)
Bell peppers, cut in strips. I buy frozen ones a lot
Onion, in strips
Jar of spaghetti sauce
Cook 6-8 hours, serve with pasta
Buffalo Chicken Sandwich
Pkg dry ranch dressing mix
Jar of buffalo sauce
Cook, serve on buns with blue cheese or ranch dressing
Can do Italian sandwiches, too, with Italian dressing, sub rolls and provolone or mozzarella cheese. Bell peppers are good in that, too.
There's a lot more, obviously. That's what I've thought of while nursing baby girl before I make dinner. Swedish meatballs, gravy and egg noodles. Frozen meatballs, gravy packet from ikea (don't judge) and a frozen veggie. We will go back to healthier, more elaborate meals eventually, but with a husband working a lot, a special needs 8 year old, a 2 year old who's jealous of baby and a month old, I think that sitting for dinner is accomplishment enough! :)

From the Publisher"Deterrence – or the threat of sanctions for violation of rules – is a complex concept but an inherent part of any crime-control strategy. David Kennedy has thought long and hard about the complexities and has worked directly with law enforcement and communities in developing innovative deterrent strategies and tactics. In this wide-ranging exploration of the many facets of deterrence, Kennedy draws heavily on his involvement with real-world crime prevention to develop new frameworks to make sure that deterrent threats are framed to do the job."
Alfred Blumstein, Heinz School, Carnegie Mellon University
"David Kennedy demonstrates an encyclopedic command of the deterrence literature. More important is his balanced and insightful analysis of the promise and limits of deterrence for preventing crime. This book is a must read for students of deterrence and practitioners who can affect the way the punitive powers of the police, courts, and corrections are used to prevent crime."
Daniel S. Nagin, Teresa and H. John Heinz III University Professor of Public Policy and Statistics, Carnegie Mellon University
"By the thoughtful application of focused deterrence strategies our community has become a safer place. Our neighborhoods have been freed from the terror of violence associated with overt drug markets. The teamwork that took place between the police and our citizens to make this happen has actually been healing to the relationship between the police and our African-American citizens in particular. We should never again have to admit that we cannot work together successfully due to the baggage of misunderstanding. The ability to produce sustained reductions in violent crime in our most troubled neighborhoods has been achieved. We now enjoy the ability to effectively combat violent crime in a manner that does not produce unintended harm to our relationships within the very community that needs our help so desperately. This book chronicles the path, from the theories to particle application, to achieving long awaited success in this arena. My sincere gratitude goes to David Kennedy for showing us the way."
Jim Fealy, Chief of Police, High Point, NC
"Practitioners, policy makers, and scholars should make room for "Deterrence and Crime Prevention" on their special bookshelf reserved for often-used guides to their thinking and practice. This fresh look at deterrence is theoretically sound and empirically based. Most importantly, it heavily relies on Mr. Kennedy's "on the ground" pathbreaking work in violence prevention and drug market control. My prepublication copy is dogged-eared already.
George L. Kelling, Professor, School of Criminal Justice Rutgers University, Senior Fellow, Manhattan Institute
"The book succeeds brilliantly at two levels: it reformulates deterrence theory for criminologists and, for law enforcement, it shows how focused partnerships with communities and other agencies can reduce even very serious crime."
Ronald V. Clarke, University Professor, School of Criminal Justice, Rutgers University
"Academic books tend to be written for other academics - this is an exception. It rightly challenges many of our assumptions about the fundamentals on which policing is based. It goes on to suggest some powerful ways in which we can rethink our approaches to the most intractable problems facing policing today - drugs, gangs, guns and violence. I thoroughly commend it to colleagues across the world."
Deputy Commissioner of the London Metropolitan Police, Paul Stephenson
"David Kennedy's wise book is a must-read for all policy-makers, practitioners and researchers working in criminal justice. It contains the most imaginative, informed and wide-ranging discussion of deterrence as a means of crime control that is yet to appear. The argument is highly accessible and reflects not only Kennedy's fine scholarship but also his wide experience in working with the police and their partners to develop and implement effective crime control strategies.
Nick Tilley, Visiting Professor at the Jill Dando Institute of Crime Science, University College London
"It is perhaps once in a generation that a book is published that changes the way we think about a major area of public policy. This is one such book. It is both readable and scholarly; theoretical and practical. It is the only academic book I have ever read that I would describe as a page turner. It will be on the 'must read' list of crime scholars for years to come.
Gloria Laycock, Professor of Crime Science, University College London Jill Dando Institute
"After years on the periphery of crime policy, "deterrence" can now take center stage. David Kennedy's new book, inspired by his path-breaking work to reduce gang violence in Boston and close drug markets in High Point, North Carolina, illuminates the breadth and power of deterrence as a crime prevention tool. His discussion of the benefits of direct communication with likely reoffenders, the effectiveness of informal sanctions (such as family disapproval), and the ways in which enforcement can unintentionally undermine deterrence should interest any practitioner who seeks to prevent crime, and not simply react to it. Kennedy's work has the potential to reframe our discussion, and ractice, of crime control policy.
Paul Seave, Director, Governor's Office of Gang and Youth Violence Policy, acramento, California.

Can Divorced Dad Be Forced To Cover Insurance For Adult Kids?
Originally published on Thu August 14, 2014 4:24 pm
When it comes to health insurance for young adults, the Affordable Care Act made it possible for kids to stay on their parents' health plans until they turn 26. It was one of the first provisions of the law to take effect and has proved popular. But what happens when the parents are divorced? Here's a look at that question and a couple of others about coverage issues.
My ex-husband has been responsible for providing health insurance for our kids until the age of majority. My sons are now 21 and almost 18. My ex has family coverage for himself and his new wife, but he wants me to put the kids on my insurance now that they have reached the age of majority. Covering the kids doesn't cost him anything extra, but for me to switch from a single plan to a family plan is an extra $175 a month and I can't afford it. Since the age of majority for health insurance is now 26, is it possible he still is required to keep them on his insurance?
No, he's not obligated to keep them on his health plan. Under the health law, insurers must offer to cover young adults up to age 26, but parents aren't obligated to provide it, says Timothy Jost, a law professor at Washington and Lee University and an expert on the health law.
Further, the requirement to offer coverage isn't related to the age of majority, which is defined by individual states and is generally between 18 and 21, says Randy Kessler, an Atlanta divorce lawyer and past chair of the American Bar Association's family law section.
The health insurance coverage arrangement that you describe is pretty typical, says Kessler. You could go back to court and try to get your child-support payments increased to cover the cost of providing health insurance for the kids, but "it would be unusual for the courts to be helpful," says Kessler. Absent some significant change in your or your ex-husband's finances, or unforeseen and costly medical expenses for your children, in general "you can't have another bite at the apple."
With no legal requirement to compel either of you to cover your kids, it's something the two of you will just have to work out, says Kessler. In addition to covering your children on your own plan or your ex's plan, it's also worth exploring whether they might qualify for subsidized coverage on the state marketplaces or for Medicaid, if your state has expanded coverage to childless adults. If they're in college, student health coverage is worth investigating as well.
My husband was recently in the hospital for a pacemaker implant. He was set to come home but developed a staph infection and a blood clot. He now has to receive an antibiotic infusion for six to eight weeks. Medicare would not pay for home infusion, so he has to travel 30 minutes to the infusion center every day. Is there anything we can do?
Probably not. Infusion therapy means administering drugs intravenously, and although it can be done in settings such as outpatient centers, hospitals or nursing homes, many patients would prefer to receive their drugs at home. But even though most private health plans and some Medicare Advantage managed care plans pay for home infusion, the traditional Medicare fee-for-service program generally doesn't. There's an exception for roughly 30 drugs that must be administered using an IV infusion pump. These are covered under Medicare Part B's durable medical equipment benefit. But Medicare generally won't pick up the tab to intravenously administer other drugs such as antibiotics at home, even though the drugs themselves may be covered under Part D, Medicare's prescription drug benefit.
"It's a basic flaw," says Russ Bodoff, president and CEO of the National Home Infusion Association, a trade group for home infusion providers. "Every site of care is covered except the home." Bodoff's organization is working on legislation that would expand Medicare's coverage of home infusion therapy.
For now, though, if you want your husband to receive his antibiotic IV therapy at home, you may have to pay for the cost of the equipment, supplies and any nursing services on your own.
My wife will be exploring insurance options on the federal exchange in November. In regard to subsidies, we file jointly and most of our income comes from dividends derived from jointly owned assets. I am assuming that her share of that income would be precisely half of the annual total income (in addition to her earned income from part-time work.) Is this a fair assumption?
No, it's not. Premium tax credits are available on the health insurance marketplace to people with incomes between 100 and 400 percent of the federal poverty level (in November that will be $15,730 to $62,920 for a couple). Eligibility is based on household income, not her income alone. If the modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) for the two of you falls within those limits, she could be eligible for a subsidy. Under the health law, MAGI would include your wife's wages and your dividend income, as well as tax-exempt Social Security benefits, tax-exempt interest and tax-exempt foreign income, says Mark Luscombe, a federal tax analyst at Wolters Kluwer, CCH, a provider of tax and accounting information to professionals.

The Collective Memory of Mass Atrocities
A talk by Alejandro Baer, Professor of Sociology and Director of the Center for Holocaust & Genocide Studies, U of M
"Postmemory", "multi-directional memory" and "cosmopolitan memory" are terms used by contemporary scholars to describe the changing nature of the practices of remembrance in post-conflict societies. We will look at the emerging modes of traumatic memory production, circulation and consumption in a globalized context, which are highly conditioned by the language of the Holocaust. The Jewish genocide serves as powerful symbol and also as a cognitive model—a script—for structuring and framing the events of a troubling past. What are its effects on social relations and individual subjects?
Session 3 in the public, one-credit course Reframing Mass Violence: Human Rights and Social Memory in Latin America and Southern Europe
This event has been designated by the Office of the Vice President for Research to satisfy the Awareness/Discussion component of the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) continuing education requirement.

RUMOR: More PlayStation 4 Controller Details Surface
Posted on February 13, 2013 AT 08:07am
Fresh rumors regarding the PlayStation 4′s controller have appeared online, contradicting earlier reports.
VG247 is reporting that the controller is "more or less" the same shape as the PlayStation 3 DualShock, however, the start and select buttons have now been moved up to accommodate a front touchpad. The site also claims that it has been informed by sources that the L2 and R2 shoulder buttons have been remodeled and the previously reported "share" button doesn't exist.
This contradicts Edge's recent report on the controller which claims: "A new Share button on the controller will, when pressed, launch a new feature that will allow screenshots and video to be distributed online. The PS4 hardware will continually record the most recent 15 minutes of onscreen action (with no processing penalty, claims our source), which users will then be able to edit and broadcast via the Internet."
Hopefully all these rumors can be sorted out on February 20–if that really is when Sony plans to unveil its new console.
How do you feel about the addition of a touchpad? Share your thoughts below.

In a very late release today, the FCC has issued for comment its proposed rules for closed captioning of IP-delivered videos (NPRM available here). Pursuant to the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (discussed earlier here) and other related events, the FCC is required to adopt final Internet closed captioning rules by January 12, 2011. This gives the FCC less than four months to solicit and consider comments and replies before issuing its final rules. Consequently, the FCC has provided a mere 20 days (from publication in the Federal Register) to submit comments, and 10 days to submit reply comments. Interested parties may want to start drafting their comments now.
As we noted earlier here, the Video Programming Accessibility Advisory Committee had issued its report of recommendations for implementing closed captioning on the Internet. That report recommended, among other things, an Internet closed captioning standard (SMPTE-TT) and a schedule of tiered compliance deadlines.
In the NPRM, the FCC has proposed NOT to adopt a technical standard, but has instead proposed to allow parties to negotiate an appropriate interchange format. The FCC believes that, if SMPTE-TT is indeed the "best interchange format, [then] the industry will settle on that format without Commission intervention and, if it is not [the best], the industry will come to a different agreed-upon format." The FCC did, however, leave itself the option to adopt a standard under the final rules. Thus, the FCC has asked whether it should allow parties to comply using "alternate means" rather than an FCC-adopted standard.

Quote of the Day: Jonathan Papelbon: "meh"
Sep 6, 2010, 8:25 AM EDT
"Yeah, I think he would have been safe regardless."
— Jonathan Papelbon on Carlos Quentin, who pulled into second base with a double during the White Sox' ninth inning rally yesterday, but very likely would have been out if Papelbon had been covering second base on the play like he should have. Quentin's pinch runner then came around to score the tying run. Here's the rally — Quentin's double is the third pitch of the highlight sequence.
I said in the highlights this morning that this appearance could be the one that seals the deal on Papelbon being non-tendered by the Red Sox this winter. That was before I saw this play and heard his "eh, whatever" quote about it. There are a lot of reasons the Sox aren't going to the playoffs this year, many of them injury related. But you can't really scapegoat injuries without sounding like you're making excuses. It's far more satisfying to have a human target for such feelings. Papelbon will do nicely, I bet.
- Kevin S. - Sep 6, 2010 at 8:42 AM
I had always figured that the Red Sox would be able to foist him on some dumb team for something of value because he has the Proven! Closer! tag, but the way things have been going lately, he might just have to be non-tendered instead.
- Wooden U Lykteneau - Sep 6, 2010 at 8:53 AM
The late Dick Radatz put it best: "'Roles' for pitchers are bullsh!t… Your job as a pitcher is to throw strikes. Period." And yet the myth of the closer continues.
- LuisMendoza - Sep 6, 2010 at 9:20 AM
From Daniel Bard's ESPN diary today – unfortunately relevant.
"Football is starting. We had our Red Sox fantasy draft recently … Pap [Jonathan Papelbon] was definitely the most into it. He sets it up and he'll talk about it the most until this season's over. He kind of lives for that kind of stuff."
- Pisano - Sep 6, 2010 at 10:03 AM
He's been a time bomb for the last year and a half . Look what the Yankees alone have done to him . They may have to non tender him , but to have Bard in the wings can't be all bad . The money the Sox will save not resigning him , and not having to sign a free agent closer will work out good for the Sox . Let him walk and be another teams problem .
- willmose - Sep 6, 2010 at 12:23 PM
Craig, the Red Sox have just been mailing it in since you declared them out of the race after the first 13 games.
- FrankZappa - Sep 6, 2010 at 6:53 PM
the guy is a bum…we should have traded him last winter, it was pretty obvious he was going downhill fast last year…way to drop the ball, theo
- Glenn - Sep 6, 2010 at 7:23 PM
Really!? Seems like they hung in the race until recently with half an AAA team. They were leading baseball in offense until the injuries took their toll. If anything, they over-performed this year.
- BC - Sep 7, 2010 at 9:35 AM
They should have traded him at the deadline. Maybe to Philly?
- Jack Marshall - Sep 7, 2010 at 10:16 AM
Papelbon is known to be an idiot. I can't blame him much for a fielding gaffe—the Red Sox lead the majors in pitcher errors—his pitching has been the problem, and right up there with Beckett, the injuries,Lackey and the incompetent third base coach as the reasons why the Sox aren't in the race. Despite all that, I can't see the Sox non-tendering him for dumb statements, because they expect no less.

Federal Records:
Removal of Agency Documents by Senior Officials Upon Leaving Office
GGD-89-91: Published: Jul 25, 1989. Publicly Released: Sep 12, 1989.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO surveyed 13 cabinet-level departments to assess the extent to which they governed senior officials' removal of federal records upon leaving office.
GAO found that: (1) various federal and criminal laws applied to officials' removal of materials, depending on their qualification as records under each law's or the individual agency's definition; (2) those laws generally did not apply to the removal of nonrecord materials, including extra copies of records or personal papers; (3) 12 of the 13 agencies surveyed issued removal regulations, with 8 requiring review of documents before removal; (4) none of the agencies had a procedure for documenting the relinquishment of government ownership of removed materials; (5) each of the 13 agencies made officials aware of record removal regulations and the penalties for violating those regulations; (6) of the 24 top officials in 12 agencies, 5 planned to remove only nonrecord materials, 12 did not intend to remove any materials, and 7 had not expressed their plans; (7) none of the 12 agencies allowed officials to remove records; and (8) 11 agencies permitted officials to remove some copies of unclassified records, while 4 would allow officials to remove copies of some withheld records if the officials requested them under the Freedom of Information Act.

The Sundial at Kitt Peak
pdf ps
R. Newton Mayall
AAVSO, Cambridge, Mass.
When I was asked to design
the sundial in front of the Museum at Kitt Peak I was more than pleased, for it
gave me a chance to work a semblance of astronomy into it. The design reflects
the great telescope nearby, with its base and fork type mounting, the dial
itself being the "telescope". The dial is of the equatorial type;
that is, the dial plate lies in a plane parallel to that of the earth's
equator. It is made of bronze. Apparent (sun) time is indicated by the shadow
of a ball on a rod. The parallel lines vertical to the hour lines ar ethe
"lines of declination", drawn here to represent certain times of the
yer, and hence the shadow of the ball can be made to indicate the day of
theyear, although on this dial you would have to estimate the day at certain
periods. Also you can obtain the time of sunrise and sunset. A table on the
rail of the fence enables you to obtain the standard time.

The HTC One X offers excellent processing power from the quad core chip that it uses. The device runs on an Nvidia Tegra 3 processor chip that is clocked at 1.5Ghz. This chip incorporates four ARM Cortex A9 cores to help deliver a near perfect multi tasking experience on the device. When we tested this handset we found it incredibly quick and it is fair to say that the One X will take some beating in this department. Accompanying the processor chip is an Nvidia Geforce ULP graphics processing unit. This GPU is one of the best currently available and it helps to ensure that the device handles the most demanding games and HD video footage with ease. The Sony Xperia S uses a processor which is clocked at the same speed as the One X but only incorporates dual cores. This should however prove ample for the average phone user and when we tested both phones it was very difficult to find much difference in terms of performance speeds. The Sony features a Qualcomm MSM8260 S3 chipset with an ARM Cortex A9 processor. This is coupled with a powerful GPU in the shape of an Adreno 220 chip. On paper the HTC One X is the superior handset in this area but in reality both models deliver excellent performance that is hard to fault.
For the latest deals please visit http://www.phoneslimited.co.uk/
If you are looking for a premium smartphone with great camera features then both of these models are excellent. The HTC One X incorporates an 8 mega pixel still camera which is accompanied by a high quality BSI sensor that helps the phone produce outstanding quality. The new Sense 4.0 user interface enables the handset to capture still images while recording uninterrupted video footage which is a nice idea not found on any other models at present. Holding down the shutter key on this phone will also capture a series of 20 photographs and the user can simply select their favourite shots from this set and delete the rest. In terms of video capture the model offer 1080P capture at a frame rate of 30 per second. The One X offers a superb camera feature but the Sony Xperia S outshines its rival in this area thanks to a superb 12 mega pixel photography facility. The phone also uses a BSI sensor like the HTC device and the results are fantastic. A range of additional features are on hand to help users capture the very best photographs possible. An LED flash is perfect for photography in dark conditions and image stabilisation compensates for any natural shake that can have a negative effect on the final image. Video capture is the same as the HTC handset with the phone capable of recording HD 1080P footage.
There is no doubt that these are two of the very best phones currently available. The HTC One X has the edge over the Sony for processing power but the Xperia S offers higher quality still photography.

Kathy Henning | February 20, 2001 | Comments
Is consistency the hobgoblin of little minds? No, it's only the foolish kind that is (or so said Emerson). Kathy's talking about the other consistency, the smart kind.
Over the years, consistency has taken a beating from several famous writers, at least one famous composer, and a multitude of English teachers.
Oscar Wilde called it "the last refuge of the unimaginative."
"Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life," said Aldous Huxley. "The only completely consistent people are dead."
John Cage said, "As far as consistency of thought goes, I prefer inconsistency."
Mark Twain once gave an entire speech blasting consistency.
"Consistency is a virtue for trains," said Hungarian novelist Stephen Vizinczey.
But it was probably Ralph Waldo Emerson who contributed most to the soiling of consistency's reputation when he said, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds."
English teachers do their part, too. Many teach students to avoid repetition at all costs. If you have to use a word twice, they say, don't. Find a synonym.
So students learn to use different words to express the same thing.
Is consistency the last refuge of the unimaginative? Contrary to life? A virtue only for trains? When is consistency a foolish consistency?
The answer to all these questions is "Not online."
Online, users need to find their way and accomplish their tasks quickly -- without, as Steve Krug would say, being forced to think.
Online, consistency is crucial.
Consistency in Online Technical Writing
Consistency is especially crucial in instructional writing, such as help text, procedures, and demos. How can users follow a procedure if the terminology changes, if you call something a screen one time and a window the next? It's not the user's job to figure out what you mean. It's your job to make it obvious.
What happens when you choose a word because it's consistent with industry usage, but the word has more than one meaning and some of your readers are in industries in which the word means something else? In that case, you must provide enough context to make the meaning clear.
I failed to do that in the title of my last article, a reader informed me.
"I wanted to alert you that you are misusing the word 'scan,'" wrote Lani Kai Akers, "and I ended up reading a different article than I was expecting. 'Scan' means to examine point by point, in great detail (as a Scan-tron form -- the computer examines every answer for correctness). The word you wanted was 'skim,' which means to read superficially and rapidly."
What I told her was this: I'd thought about using the word "skim" but had settled on "scan" for three reasons:
But that's not the point. The point is that the title was misleading to at least one reader and most likely to others. Titles should never be misleading, especially online. I should have provided enough context to make the meaning clear or not used the word.
Ways to Strive for Consistency
Consistency is also important in site architecture, design, and navigation. But I'll address that another time.
Consistency is not just for trains and dead people. Strive for it in your writing.
