Why open a gallery for the summer in Syracuse, NY?
"Why not?" answered Roslyn Esperon and Courtney Rile. The two met working together over two years ago at Delavan Art Gallery, which is temporarily closed until September. In
the meantime, their new gallery is temporarily open.
Contemporary Gallery has been born with the exhibition, Whimsy: Celebrating the Power of 'Why Not?'" The temporary contemporary art gallery opens June 11 at 230 Harrison Street in Downtown Syracuse, thanks to the support of J.F. Real Estate. The opening reception is
on Friday the 13th in conjunction with the opening of the Everson Biennial down the street. Designed as an afterparty for the Biennial, the reception will run on June 13th from 7 -- 10 PM. The exhibition will continue through Friday, July 18 with plenty of
special events to be announced on the gallery's website:
The art featured in "Whimsy: Celebrating the Power of 'Why Not?'" includes art books, drawings, fabric art, film, illustration, installation art, intaglio prints, works in
mixed media, paintings, photo etchings, photography, sculpture, and video art. The majority of artists represented come from the New York State area. The theme "whimsy" is inspired by its definition: 1. The quality of being quaint, odd, or playfully humorous,
especially in an endearing way; 2. An idea that has no immediately obvious reason to exist. Since the gallery itself was created on a whim as a labor of love, it seemed appropriate for the theme of the exhibition to exemplify these characteristics. A series of film screenings will share the same theme with films curated by John Craddock, Assistant Director of the Syracuse International Film Festival.
Contemporary Gallery Co-Founders Roslyn Esperon and Courtney Rile met in February of 2006. Esperon was interning at Delavan Art Gallery when Rile was invited back to Syracuse from traveling by Bill Delavan to be the Gallery Coordinator. Over two years later, the two have continued to work together at the Gallery in various capacities and have also become friends. They both thank Bill Delavan for his guidance and support.

Business analysts/programmers create, improve, and evaluate software and applications at a company. They may create software for general customers or simply have a role in maintaining a company's IT processes, and may also conduct research to determine what types of products are in high demand and what improvements can be made to help the business run smoothly.Read More...
Business analysts often assess of what types of technologies should be integrated in order to create ideal end products, so it is important that they stay up-to-date with all of the latest trends and keep an eye on the competition. It is also important to carry out tests in order to create and improve software, which may involve using end users to help identify bugs and malfunctions. When problems are encountered, analytical skills will be essential to resolve them. Those in this position may also be directly involved in creating/developing code for software, which is reviewed and updated as time goes on. Teamwork is important in this position, as many analysts work together on teams to accomplish goals.
Business analysts/programmers may need to be present at all stages of development. Generally, a bachelor's degree in a field such as computer science is required for this position. This is a full-time job which takes place primarily in an office environment. Experience and expertise with relevant software and programs will need to be demonstrated.

While not commonly seen, Business Analyst Programmers who transition into an Information Technology Project Manager position may see a rise in pay. The median salary for Information Technology Project Managers is $86K per year. Going from Business Analyst Programmer to Senior Business Analyst is the transition that occurs most often in this field, where the paychecks are $84K. Many others choose to work as Computer Systems Business Analysts, where pay is typically $59K.
Business Analyst Programmers report using a large range of skills on the job. Most notably, skills in Oracle, Project Management, Microsoft SQL Server, and Microsoft Access are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and SAS. Those educated in Microsoft Excel tend to be well versed in SQL.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Business Analyst Programmers, experience does not seem to be a major factor in determining pay. Respondents with less than five years' experience take home $57K on average. In contrast, those who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably higher average of $69K. Business Analyst Programmers claiming one to two decades of experience make an estimated median of $76K. After two decades in the workforce, the average Business Analyst Programmer generally earns more than ever; median pay for this group is estimated at $85K.

Happy Youth Drink
13 Jul 2011
The point to remember, as you tipple off into the years past what one can call "youth," is that even if those joints are creaking, it's more of a roll than a jump out of bed, and staying up past midnight seems superheroic–even then, you can still capture that happy youth feeling by being silly, laughing it up, wearing a feather boa and not caring a hoot what anyone thinks, having the posse over for a series of pictures with fake mustaches, and always remembering that "youth" isn't, after all, a term stuck to a specific date, but rather one attached to a specific state of mind. Having a few Happy Youths doesn't hurt, either, when remembering how fun it is to be young.

Nationwide, there is a period of time known as the Red Zone, which falls between the start of the Fall semester and Thanksgiving break in November. It is believed that there are more sexual assaults on United States college campuses during this time than any other time during the school year.
This interactive presentation aims to empower students by providing knowledge and tools they can use to "Turn the Red Zone Green" on the IUP campus by supporting survivors and stepping up against sexual violence.

Governors Frustrated after meeting with Obama
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal vent their frustration over the Governor's meeting with President Barack Obama at the White House on Monday.

New Jersey's infamous Governor Chris Christie gets into a verbal altercation with a passerby who wants to make sure Governor Christie "takes care of the teachers"
Willard Romney won six out of ten states last night, but you have to wonder how many voters saw this video before casting their ballots. In it, he brags about how he was able to secure "over $410 Million" from the federal government to help fund the 2002 Winter Olympics. What's odd is that he even talks about how helpful it is to have people inside Washington to manipulate the system and get you money.
"I've learned from my Olympic experience that if you have people that really understand how Washington works and have personal associations there, you can get money to help build economic development opportunities." -Mitt Romney
To be honest… It kind of sounds like he describes a "Washington insider". And it sounds like he thinks that "Washington insiders" are good people to have around. Later in the video, he even brags about how he got an extra million dollars from the Department Of Education. When discussing it, he grins and describes it as using "creativity".
This is all somewhat odd, considering that Mitt Romney has placed so much emphasis on the fact that he's "not a Washington insider". But it sounds like when he was vying to be governor of Massachusetts, he was absolutely willing to employ the talents of just such insiders.
Romney has had a hard time convincing Conservative voters that he's the candidate that they're looking for, and examples like this might be why.
In case you haven't heard, former governor of Utah, Jon Huntsman Jr. has officially dropped out of the Republican primary. That's not surprising, really, considering that he spent most of the past year in the single digits. What is surprising is that he didn't bow out on the night of the New Hampshire primary; the guy practically lived there, and he still came in behind Ron Paul.
The other thing that is surprising (and particularly #HeadDesk worthy) is that Huntsman thinks his dropping out will consolidate the vote. That couldn't be any further from the truth.
Huntsman dropping out does very little, if anything, to affect the dynamics of this race. Right now you have three factions: Romney, Paul, and then this gaggle involving Perry, Gingrich, and Santorum. And the truth is that as long as Paul is in the race, there will probably never be anyone with enough momentum to overcome Romney. Even if you have Santorum and Perry drop out, there is a very real chance that Paul staying in can help Romney get the plurality every time.
So it's cute that Huntsman wants his endorsement to carry weight, just like it's cute that McCain wanted his to do so, but Jon dropping out did nothing to change this cluster-truck that we're dealing with. The only thing it did was to make the Huntsman girls seem a little less relevant. But with today's news culture, they can probably go to CNN and be three times more compelling as pundits than Meghan McCain has ever been. (click here and here to see some of what the Huntsman girls have become famous for)
Well, this show is probably going to be controversial. Tonight, we'll be talking about Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, Conservative attitudes toward gay Americans, and if we have time, there might be some "if Tebow was Muslim" discussion. A family friendly show, if there ever was one. HUZZAH!
CLICK HERE AT 10pm (East) and 7pm (West) TO HEAR THE SHOW!!!!!!!
I came across a Rick Perry ad today that stopped me in my tracks, and not for any of the good reasons. At first glance, it seems like it might be another good TV spot for the candidate from Texas. It starts off with optimistic music and Perry looking like a seasoned man from America's heartland. He's standing by a quiet river, and he begins with a proclamation that he's "not ashamed to admit that he's a Christian". So far so good… Then his next statement kind of derails things. Take a look…
Look… I know that this statement will speak to the hearts of many Americans, but Perry really shouldn't have added the line about "gays serving openly in the military". I think he had a good ad on his hands without the addition of that statement. And to be honest with you, I'm not at all sorry for him for any heat this might bring upon his campaign.
This is a year where Republicans have an honest chance to unseat the current president, and that's saying a lot, considering how dire the GOP's hand was in 2008. Commercials like this do nothing to bolster those chances, however, and I'm ashamed of Perry for putting this line in there.
Now, I know that Perry has been gaining support on this website, and that I'll draw the ire of many of our readers for pointing this out, but if you WANT Perry to be the next president of the United States, ads like this do not help. Whether it is fair or not, Republicans are known for being "against the gays". How does this ad help to change that perception? It doesn't. It only "reaffirms" what many have suspected about Republicans all along.
Also… it was a good ad without that line. Perry looked good, he sounded good, the production values were solid, and his message was fine. Adding the line about gays serving openly in the military did nothing to improve or embellish it. It was foolish, and it was the opposite of helpful.
This isn't the first time that Perry has disappointed me, nor is it the first time that he's "stepped in it", but after enough occurrences, these things start to look like nails in his coffin.

In case you missed it, this is the Bret Baier interview with Romney that everyone's been talking about. Bret asks Mitt about possible similarities between Obama Care and Romney Care, and oh, does Willard squirm. Check it out, check-it-outers:
I'll tell you two things I learned from this video.
One: Romney was hoping the interview would be a bunch of softballs, and a circuit in his (robot) brain shorted out when he was thrown a curve ball.
Two: Now that Newt is Romney's greatest threat, Mitt's gonna start throwing him under the bus like he used to do Perry. (and Huckabee the last go-round)
What do you guys think? Did Willard quirm? Did that robot brain seize up? Or did he handle himself well? And is he going to be able to bully Newt around the same way he used to do Perry?
Let us know your thoughts on Facebook or in the comments below. This primary ain't over yet, folks. Not by a long shot.
On Sunday, California Governor Jerry Brown announced that he had signed AB499 into law. This bill is basically what's known as the law that let's young girls (as young as 12) decide to get preventative treatments against HPV (like Gardasil) without consulting their parents. They can go wherever this service is being offered and get a $500 series of vaccinations without so much as telling their parents they've chosen to do so. An interesting point that crosses my mind is that any parent who has a 12 year old daughter that can "disappear" long enough to get Gardasil administered to her without her parents noticing is probably the same parent that would have a sexually active 12 year old in the first place. The monster feeds itself on this one. (please note that this is conjecture on my part, and it's somewhat tasteless conjecture at that)
While studying this story, I also came to a realization that is so shocking that I had to double check it and then check it five more times before I was willing to believe it. In California, there is no parental involvement when it comes to getting abortions regardless of how young the girl is. The same 12 year old girl that can get these HPV vaccinations can presumably get an abortion too. Chew on that for a second. Abortions can be performed on minors without the parents' consent and without notifying the parents either. That is astounding.
So, basically, a sixth grade girl can decide to get the HPV treatments, have sex with an adult for all we know, get pregnant, and have an abortion all without her parents ever finding out. If you ever wanted to know why California is in such bad shape, I think this scenario would be a good place to start looking. AGAIN, THIS PIECE IS STRICTLY MY OPINION AND POSSIBLY OFFENSIVE TO SOME. But I don't see how any good can come from the foundation this state has set in place.
Jamie Oliver doesn't think kids in L.A. are smart enough to pick what flavor milk they can drink. Why does anyone think they can decide on what is prudent with their health or their sexual organs? Why are minors allowed to decide to have an abortion? At this point, I don't even consider myself a prude; I just don't think any good can come from children having this much control without any way that parents can intervene. And that's the irony, don't you think? Who gets in trouble when children break the law? Who does that onus usually fall on? The parents, right? How many shades of grey do there really need to be in California? I have a child, and I live in California. What will this state let my offspring do behind my back by the time they are "old enough to make these decisions"? That is an anxiety that no parent should have to feel, but I feel it.
I know that proponents of these laws say it's because if these laws weren't in place, then parents would let dreams of sexual abstinence cloud the reality of teenage intercourse or some crap like that. And you know what, there is some truth to that. A little bit… But this is California. I think most parents are pretty well aware that their kids might start screwing at younger age than what is desirable. I also think those parents (myself included) would like to think they have some say-so when or if that happens. In California, we don't.
And then there is the truly frightening paradox. On one hand, my child is so fragile, that they "need" to stay on my insurance until they are 26 years old. But on the other hand, they can kill a baby when they are 16 (or even younger). Please explain how this social and legal schizophrenia sounds rational to anyone. Maybe in 1956, it was common for fathers to scare their daughters so badly that they resorted to a back-alley abortion, but in 2011, I just don't think it happens that often.
But you know what? I'm a reasonable man. How about a compromise? If a minor decides she wants vaccines or an abortion, why not have an advocate of some sort present in police stations. Some officers come to the home and explain that the minor is pregnant and/or sexually active and scared. She's scared that her parents will hurt her if they find out, so these advocates come and explain it to the parents, while creating a safe atmosphere. Now maybe my idea for advocates is crap. I haven't put enough thought into it to fight you over it, but I think it's a lot better letting a 12 year old see doctors or kill babies behind my back. There has to be some sort of middle ground, even in Progressive California.
These are my thoughts, and this is my rant. This is in no way an objective piece of analysis. These are just my thoughts. (and there were two warnings at the start of the piece, in case you didn't notice them)
With that said, I'll leave you with this video I made which mocks the policies in California. Like this post, the video may be offensive to some.
You may have remembered Rick Perry's less than stellar showing at the Fox News/Google debate from Sep 23rd, you know, the one where he said, "I don't think you have a heart". Well, it looks like Ricky Perry has spent a lot of time remembering it too, and he's decided to walk back that statement and better explain some other ones.
Above is a segment of an interview he did with Newsmax.com. In it, he did a much better job explaining what his positions are on many aspects of immigration. Besides the famous "you don't have a heart" line, he also addressed how he feels about a border fence. He says you can build one, but without personnel to man the fence, it's not going to keep anyone out. He also brought up concerns about how a border fence would affect private property.
I think he clarified a lot of things in the interview, but I'm still not confident he can give solid answers when he's under the pressure of a debate. I've seen him strike out three times so far, but I would be glad to see himself do a better job in the future ones. What do you guys think? Did this interview help redeem the poor performance he had in last week's debate? And do you think Perry can handle the next debate, or is he just not good answering questions under pressure? Let us know in the comments below; we'd love to hear from you.
In the height of all the controversy, and with blame at a heightened state in Washington, many of the candidates running in the 2012 election are gearing up for opposition. Texas Governor, Rick Perry, has not announced yet if he will run. As all the new candidates are under scrutiny by the media there has been some speculation that Perry is part of a secret group of elitists by the name of Bilderberg. The group may be part of a select few whose goals are to develop an international agenda.
The group was established in 1954, the Bilderberg Group holds annual meetings, which are by invitation only for the most wealthy and powerful people. Roughly one-third of those who attend are Americans and the rest are European. The group took the name Bilderberg after their first meeting which was held in Oosterbeek, Netherlands at the Hotel de Bilderberg. There are those who believe the group is made up of an elite group of people whose strategic goal is a new world order. They meet to discuss, and influence, the changing global, political, economic and social landscape. Bilderberg -Planning on a New World Order. What appears to be the official website of Bilderberg is rather vague, but to the point. If it is in fact the groups web-site cannot be confirmed, however information on the site states:
What is unique about Bilderberg as a forum is
Governor Perry gets endorsement for Presidential election from Bilderberg according to Paul Joseph Watson of InfoWars.com. In an article he states, "While spewing Tea Party-style rhetoric about secession, shooting coyotes and courting the favor of Christian evangelicals, behind closed doors Perry has been quietly selling out Texas to globalist interests, auctioning off highways to foreign companies to turn them into profit-driven toll roads."
"Speculation that Perry is the Bilderberg group's ace card was prompted by the current political climate, which can largely be gleaned from the fact that Perry is a longtime, unwavering supporter of the NAFTA Superhighway and related infrastructure projects," wrote AFP's Jim Tucker earlier this month. "These pave the way for the Bilderberg-supported North American Union (NAU) proposal that would merge the U.S., Canada and Mexico." via » Bilderberg-Approved Perry Set to Become Presidential Frontrunner Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind! Although he is clearly violating the Logan Act, Governor Perry still attends the 2007 Bilderberg conference. viaBusted! Kathleen Sebelius admitts that she and Rick Perry are Bilderberg Group attendees! – Orange County: Campaign For Liberty. The Logan Act is a US federal law which prohibits unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. It was passed in 1799 and amended in 1994, violation of the law is a felony, punishable with up to three years in prison.
Executive Director Wes Benedict of the Libertarian Party expressed his voice regarding Mr. Perry. He said about Governor Perry, "You supported Lance Armstrong's 3 billion dollar Texas taxpayer funded medical research center. That's like Obama-Care. you secured a 300 million dollar business handout slush fund for you and just the two leaders of the legislature to dole out to whomever you felt like being friendly to." He also went on to accuse Perry of a state business tax, setting up state toll booths on the TX highways, and signing an executive order which forces Texas schoolgirls to get the HPV vaccine – whether they, or their parents, want it or not. via Rick Perry slammed by Libertarian Director: video | Libertarian Party
Governor Perry has stated he will announce his plan to run for President this Saturday. Is it a good idea or not? You decide, and while you're at it, you may want to look into all the candidates for yourself. Remember, the campaign trail has an historical record for producing a lot of rhetoric and very little action once they are in office.

Fiscally http://conservativedailynews.com/2009/08/what-does-it-mean-to-be-conservative/
Socially Liberal Libertarian
Limited government philosophy
Supports marijuana decriminalization
Supports simplifying and lowering taxes
Supports balancing the federal budget immediately
Supports "slashing government spending", including Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security
Supports passing a law allowing states to file bankruptcy
Encourages fathers' participation in child-raising- would allow federal funds and state involvement in these initiatives
This quote regarding Gary Johnson "on the issues" is from 2001. I would like to know if he still stands by allowing federal funds to be used for these initiatives.
Strongly opposes a federal bailout for any state
Opposes National Sales Tax or VAT
Opposes the war in Afghanistan
Opposes the Libyan Civil War
Has been opposed to the Iraq war from the beginning and continues to call for American presence to end in that country
Medicare and Medicaid
His plan would cut these two programs by 43% by turning them into block grant programs, giving control of the spending to the states. He says by doing this we will create "fifty laboratories of innovation".
In The Spotlight
February 2011- Was a featured speaker at C-PAC where
"the crowd liked him – even as he pushed some of his more controversial points."
February 2011- Was a featured speaker at the Republican Liberty Caucus
May 5, 2011- Participated in the first GOP Presidential Debate for 2012
There is much to be said about first impressions. Before this first debate I had no idea who Gary Johnson was. Sadly, my first impression of him was not that good. If you read the article that I wrote the night of the debate you will see by the end of the night things were not as bad as in the beginning. After profiling him for this article there are a lot of things I like about Mr. Johnson. However, to quote the article above:
"Gary Johnson's stance on this issue absolutely, without a doubt lost my vote if he had not already, when he discussed his pro-choice views. No thank you, Mr. Johnson! No thank you!"
This is one thing I cannot compromise on. If you have read any of my articles regarding mine and my husband's journey to have a family you will understand why this is an absolute for me. I cannot and will not budge on this issue- ever! Life begins at conception. I cannot vote for someone who believes a woman has a right to choose whether or not she carries life or kills life.

The purpose of this series: Who Hears The Voice Of The Children?
An Open Letter To All Senators, Congressmen and Governors
I am going to take a small detour from the continuing story of our journey through the Foster Care system to address you, Sir and Madam- our elected officials. You are the ones who have to make the changes necessary in this Broken System.
While I do not mind at all sharing our personal story, the main goal of this series is to fix the Broken System of Foster Care. To accomplish this goal I am going straight to the top-you- the lawmakers of this nation.
Over the last 4 years I've talked to many people about my concerns. I've started all the way at the bottom, and gone all the way to the top. I've made phone calls, I've written letters, I've written emails, I've filled out online forms and I've actually sat and had conversations in person. I've talked to Case Workers, Supervisors, Investigators; I even contacted one of my State Representatives, but never received so much as a "thank you for contacting me" email.
I am now going straight to the top and I am not going to stop until somebody, somewhere, listens to me and commits to helping me bring light to this Broken System. I am determined to be the voice for these children who "slip through the cracks" way too often!
There are simple things that can be done immediately that would cost nothing, yet would streamline things drastically!
One specific thing is requiring that all communications be shared with all parties involved with the child's case. I was shocked when I found out that it is not a requirement as a foster parent to send weekly reports to all case workers, attorneys, etc. I was required to send a report once a month to my private agency case worker.
I am a firm believer that communication is the key to the success of any relationship. Without communication a relationship- no matter what it is- will fail. Invariably.
As a foster parent, when I would send my monthly reports to my private agency case worker, or any other correspondence that dealt directly with the child, I automatically copied the ad lidem assigned to the child, the CPS case worker, and anyone else who may be involved in the case. Without fail, I was told by every single CPS case worker that I was the only foster parent who had ever included them in correspondence regarding the child. This bewilders me to this day!
With the technological capabilities that we have today there is absolutely no reason at all why everyone involved with a child should not be on the same page. If you are following our journey, you know that with our first two foster children, there was a court case deciding their case , yet neither my private agency case worker nor myself knew that a court date was scheduled! When the judge ruled that the children were to go to a relative immediately I was given 1 hour to collect their belongings and explain to them that they would be leaving our home. To children who have already had their lives disrupted this is just another upheaval in their lives!
Had I been aware that there was a court date I could have better prepared myself, the children, and their belongings. As it were I was the one that informed my private agency case worker as to what was going on, not the CPS case worker!
As I stated in my opening article for this series, the ENTIRE system needs to be completely overhauled! We must start with changing the laws that are written to protect the rights of the biological parents more than the rights of the children.
We must weed out judges who give these abusive parents chance after chance after chance to get their lives together, all the while the children are left with their lives in limbo. Every child needs permanency! While the "goal for permanency" is touted in the Foster Care system, the implementation of making permanency happen in the lives of these children in an acceptable time frame is missing!
Too often CPS case workers are just there to "do a job" rather than making a difference. Don't get me wrong, there are many case workers who do have a true passion for the children they work with. However, there are many who see their position as simply a paycheck. Because they are government employees they are protected more than they could dream of in a private sector job!
I have experienced personally how private agencies often view these children as nothing more than commodities rather than the precious lives in upheaval! As I continue to tell our story you will get a first-hand account of this actually happening!
I know of foster parents who see these children as nothing but a paycheck. They do the absolute barest minimum to care for these children, yet take advantage of the system at every available opportunity.
It is my hope and prayer that by telling our story someone, somewhere will help me completely overhaul the Broken System that consistently fails our children in Foster Care. We have to be their voice! I will not be silent until someone listens to me!
I ask you, Congressmen, Senators, Governors- will you listen? Will you step up to the plate and fight to make the necessary changes?
You ARE being held accountable!

I've been passing lots of tissue-like flakes for the last several months. When I first went to my GP she ran a culture and found an infection. After two unsuccessful courses of antibiotics, I was sent to a urologist. He put me on two months of antibiotics, hoping that it was just something really hard to kick. Now that the drugs are all gone, I'm still passing clumps and flakes of some tissue-y substance. I'm totally freaked out. I see my urologist again the second week of July, I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this?

I used to get yeast infections but not have any symtoms except for the white flakey stuff. A course of antibiotics would actually make this worse and it would come back. I hope you are on some good probiotics after being on those antibioics for so long. Cranberry tablets (AZO) seemed to help me as well. I hope you can figure it out.

MShift Security Warning: Android
It has come to MShift's attention that in the first and second weeks of December 2009 a developer using the Android platform has deployed shells of mobile banking applications to try and gain access to banking customer's financial information. This phishing attack has been launched from the Android Marketplace and is impacting over 50 financial institutions worldwide, including those that currently do not offer mobile banking solutions, much less an Android download.
MShift advises that you inform your customers of this potential phishing threat and direct any of your customers that have downloaded this application from the Android Marketplace that the Android downloadable provided by Droid09 is NOT an authorized or legitimate downloadable application of your institution. We suggest you immediately advise your affected customers to contact your fraud department and to change their log in password via the approved methods for your bank outside of the mobile device.
In addition MShift recommends that the customer immediately removes the application from their phone and takes it into their mobile provider and has the technical team evaluate the phone to make sure the application is completely removed and has not compromised any other applications or records within the phone.
To clarify: the browser-based Mobile Banking solution provided by MShift remains fully secure. Your customers still have secure access to their mobile banking via their Android device, using the mobile browser interface. This downloadable hacking/phishing effort provided by Droid09, represents a transparent attempt to gain access to credit cards and account numbers through the emerging Android platform. MShift recommends that you advise your customers with Android devices to access their bank accounts, or other e-commerce related activity ONLY through the web browser interface, instead of a downloadable application, until the Android platform has been proven secure for financial transactions.

Clint and Aimee Shelton have two good reasons you should always wear your seat belt.
His traumatic brain injury and her traumatic brain injury.
Each was injured in a car crash.
Neither was wearing a seat belt.
Because seat belts are one of the most effective means of saving lives and reducing injuries on the highway, the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are teaming up with 132 Louisiana law enforcement agencies for this year's Click It or Ticket campaign. From May 20 through June 2, special emphasis will be placed on enforcing seat belt laws through increased patrols and checkpoints. In 2012, officers issued 20,597 seat belt citations across the state during the campaign and 68,976 over the course of the year.
"Wearing a seat belt, regardless of where you are seated in a vehicle, greatly increases your chance of surviving or avoiding serious injuries in a crash," Lt. Col. John LeBlanc, executive director of the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission, stated in a news release. "Sadly, more than 61 percent of people killed in crashes in Louisiana in 2011 were not buckled up."
Both Clint and Aimee, who met through the Northwest Louisiana Brain Injury Support Group, would click it if they could relive the nights their lives were changed. Since they can't, they share their stories as Voices for Injury Prevention for ThinkFirst of the Ark-La-Tex, an organization dedicated to preventing brain and spinal cord injuries.
In the fall of 1990, Aimee was a typical 15-year-old girl who loved music, pep squad and hanging out with friends. She dreamed of becoming an attorney. But driving home from her boyfriend's house to make her 8 p.m. curfew, she didn't bother with her seat belt - it was only five miles home. The crash happened about a half-mile from her house. She doesn't remember what happened, but there's a good chance she swerved to miss an animal in the road. When her wheel dropped off the side, she overcorrected, causing the car to flip.
"My door came open and I flew out," she said.
The life she had known and the future she had planned flew out, too.
Aimee was in a coma for six weeks, spent months in the hospital and had to relearn how to walk and talk. Although she missed the rest of the school year, she returned to Byrd High School and graduated to a standing ovation.
Permanent effects include memory problems, lost vision in one eye, hearing impairment and a shunt that drains fluid from her brain.
"I tell people always wear them (seat belts), no matter where you are going, no matter how close to home. I think about that every day."
In 1991, Clint was 18 years old, a self-described bull-ridin' hellion who loved to fight. He had a job at International Paper Company in DeSoto Parish and planned to become a certified welder. After work one October night, he and a friend bought some alcohol and, after a few drinks, Clint decided to go see his girlfriend in Pleasant Hill. He, too, overcorrected after dropping off the pavement, then slammed head-on into a concrete culvert.
"I lost 60 percent of my blood and broke every bone except my legs," he said.
After nearly four months in a coma, eight months in the hospital and more months in rehab, Clint was determined to regain strength. Daily, he walked with a cane four miles to a gym to work out. Eventually, he became a certified personal trainer and has worked off and on in that capacity.
Lasting effects of his injury include speech impairment, memory loss, balance issues and muscle spasms.
"I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy," Clint said. "It makes me feel good about myself when I'm speaking. It doesn't matter how big the crowd is. If one person picks up something and it saves their life, then I've done good."

Drew Storen is back on the mound following elbow surgery
Jun 11, 2012, 8:45 PM EDT
The Nationals have relied on Tyler Clippard as their primary closer in recent days, but he could return to his familiar set-up role before long.
According to Amanda Comak of the Washington Times, Drew Storen recently began throwing off a mound following April surgery to remove a bone chip from his right elbow. He threw for the first time on Friday and again today.
While Nationals manager Davey Johnson sensed that Storen was a little disappointed by the results today, he also said that the 24-year-old right-hander "had no problems after throwing" and is "right on track." We should getting a better sense of his timeline in the next week or two, but he currently hopes to rejoin the Nationals' bullpen around the All-Star break.
Storen, who was selected 10th overall in the 2009 First-Year Player Draft, owns a 3.10 ERA over his first 127 relief appearances in the big leagues.

A Hector man faces felony assault charges for allegedly throwing a wrench at a 7-year-old boy's head and causing severe, potentially life-threatening injuries. 31-year-old Dean Michael Lentz made an appearance in Renville County Court on Monday on the charges. The alleged incident took place in early June. Lentz told investigators that he was in an outbuilding at his residence that day, and that the boy was not listening to his requests. He reportedly told the child that if he didn't stop spitting on the doorway of his shop, Lentz would throw a ratchet at him. Lentz admitted to intentionally throwing the ratchet at the boy, but says he did not intend to hit the child. The boy was treated at the Hennepin County Medical Center for a skull fracture, cerebral spinal fluid leak and multiple facial fractures, and the injuries required immediate neurosurgical intervention. Lentz will be back in court for the charges on October 26th, and a jury trial is scheduled to begin on December 11th.

Actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar, who has started an online campaign "Men against Rape and Discrimination" (MARD), says the responsibility to create a safer environment for women lies not just with the government, but with every citizen.
"If we say that it's only the police's job and we only sit at home and play victim and keep watching what is happening, then that's wrong. At an individual level we should try and bring about a change," the 39-year-old said here Wednesday on the sets of Indian Premier League (IPL) show "Extraaa Innings".
"The responsibility can't just lie on the government servants, as citizens it is our responsibility as well," added the "Rock On!!" actor, who came to promote MARD on the show.
The director of films like "Dil Chahta Hai" and "Don - The Chase Begins", says such campaigns will continue till things change.
"My demand is same as yours that the society should be safer for everyone - girls, women or small girls. They should never be scared about going out, they should never feel that they are considered less. So these things should change. Till that doesn't happen, we will have to fight this war," Farhan, a father of two daughters.
He is using IPL as a platform to spread awareness among the people about his campaign MARD and will be distributing fake moustaches, a symbol of his campaign, among the audiences at the April 26 match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab to be played at Eden Gardens.

Product description
Raymond Aron's 1955 masterpiece The Opium of the Intellectuals, is one of the great works of twentieth- century political reflection. Aron shows how noble ideas can slide into the tyranny of "secular religion" and emphasizes how political thought has the profound responsibility of telling the truth about social and political reality-in all its mundane imperfections and tragic complexities. Aron explodes the three "myths" of radical thought: the Left, the Revolution, and the Proletariat. Each of these ideas, Aron shows, are ideological, mystifying rather than illuminating. He also provides a fascinating sociology of intellectual life and a powerful critique of historical determinism in the classically restrained prose for which he is justly famous. For this new edition, prepared by Daniel J. Mahoney and Brian C. Anderson as part of Transaction's ongoing "Aron Project," political scientist Harvey Mansfield provides a luminous introduction that underscores the permanent relevance of Aron's work. The new edition also includes as an appendix "Fanaticism, Prudence, and Faith," a remarkable essay that Aron wrote to defend Opium from its critics and to explain further his view of the proper role of political thinking. The book will be of interest to all students of political theory, history, and sociology.

Review quote
"Raymond Aron's analysis of French intellectual culture of the 1940s and 1950s retains its relevance inot the 21st century, helping to illuminate the minds of intellectuals so that we can understand their penchant for irrational utopianism. Althought the particular controversies have changed somewhat, our modern intellectuals partake of the same opium." - "Ideas on Liberty"
Editorial reviews
The author of The Century of Total War (1954) issues another challenge to world thinking in this timely dissection of current political divisions. As a French journalist, his comments on the politico-philosophical scenes of East and West are within the frame of reference generally of western Europe and France in particular. He shows that the relatively new allegiance of the Intelligentsia to the Left is born of three myths: the Right as traditionally the voice of reaction, the efficacy of the Revolution, and the Proletariat as the new savior class. He demonstrates the development of these myths is the result of visionary, idealistic thinking, solidified in nostalgic hindsight. Aiding and abetting the construction of the myths has been a particular interpretation of history, borrowed from the Churchmen and developed by Hegel- the idea of a Plan of History, which was best put to use by Marxists applying the idea as a rationalization of their political and economic policies. The choice, from the swing of events, open to the intellectuals, lies between - on the one hand, conforming to and being smothered by a system which extols the State as the bearer of all values or, on the other hand maintaining a condition of alienation, in the long run an imperiled condition. It is to those who will have no fanatic commitment, the skeptics, that Aron turns for a re-direction of thought. A valuable book (not because it supplies another solution but because it asks the right questions) for those concerned with the modern development of political thought. (Kirkus Reviews)

Location: Xi'an, China
Program Dates: July 12 – July 27, 2014
Global Partners Program in China
Location: Xi'an, China
Course Overview
This pilot course proposal is a faculty-led global experience that includes face-to-face course instruction in Xi'an, China. The project based course is intended to engage students in inter-cultural exchange and interdisciplinary learning, while completing a project of mutual interest and global significance. This initiative is meant introduce students culturally to responsive research methods and connect interdisciplinary students enrolled at the University of Michigan-Flint (Flint, Michigan) and Shaanxi Normal University (Xian, China) in a meaningful way.
Country Information
China may be modernizing at a head-spinning pace, but the slick skyscrapers, Lamborghini showrooms and Maglev trains are just eye-catching but wafer-thin gift-wrapping. Let's face it: the world's oldest continuous civilization is bound to pull an artefact or two out of its hat. Travel selectively around China and you can quickly tap into a rich seam of antiquity: ponder the legends and myths of the Forbidden City, rediscover your sense of wonder on the Great Wall or attempt to fathom the timeless expressions of the silent Terracotta Warriors. Submit to the unique charms of Píngyáo – China's best preserved walled town – or get a glimpse of Nirvana at the serene Mògāo Caves outside Dūnhuáng. Meander among the historic villages of Wùyuán, wake with the cock crow in an ancient Hakka roundhouse or join well-dressed Tibetan pilgrims on their circuitous kora around Labrang monastery.
