WALLINGFORD, Conn. (PRBuzz) October 26, 2010 -- National charity Kids Wish Network grants the wish of a 17-year-old Wallingford boy who is battling a life-threatening illness.
When Joseph's mother, Stacey, began looking for a wish granting organization to grant a wish to her son, she came across the website for Kids Wish Network and referred Joseph to the organization. She didn't mention any of this to her son.
After receiving an application from Kids Wish Network and filling out the requested info, Stacey waited to hear if Joseph's wish would be fulfilled. A few weeks after submitting the application, she received a letter in the mail informing her that Joseph would be getting a wish from Kids Wish Network. Stacey still did not mention any of this to Joseph.
A few weeks later, when a wish coordinator from Kids Wish Network called Stacey and informed her that she would be working on Joseph's wish and needed to speak with Joseph to confirm what his wish was, Stacey decided to tell Joseph that he had to pick a wish just in case he was chosen. Joseph had no idea that his wish for a Best Buy shopping spree would actually be coming true in just a short time.
"He didn't even know it was happening until day of. He had no clue until the limo pulled up," Stacey said. "I had told everybody that we were going to dinner at my brother's house and I saw the limo pulling up and told him we have to go. He saw it and said, 'whose limo is that?' and I told him, 'that's your limo!'"
Joseph's first limo ride took him straight to Best Buy in Newington where he had $1,000 to spend on whatever he wanted. Stacey said that Joseph got a little bit of everything.
"He got a very nice laptop and a pretty good sized stereo system with a docking station for his iPod. He also got two wireless controllers for his game system and two video games, as well as two CDs and a Blu-ray disk," she said.
After the spree, Joseph and his mom were treated to dinner at Hometown Pizza. Stacey said it was a great day.
"It was a perfect ending to a perfect day," she said. "Joseph loved everything."
Although Joseph's wish was to have a shopping spree, his wish coordinator found out that he is a huge Corvette fan and set up some special arrangements with the owner of the Corvette Center, the folks at Lime Rock Park and the Sports Car Driving Association.
"We got a day at Lime Rock where he got to ride shotgun in a Corvette. That in itself would have been enough for his wish but it was an added extra. He absolutely loved it," said Stacey.
The once in a lifetime experience is something that, according to Stacey, she and Joseph will never forget.
"Everything was above and beyond what I was expecting. Joseph has been telling everybody all about it," she said.
Kids Wish Network would like to thank the following for helping to make Joseph's wish extra special: Newington Best Buy, Hometown Pizza & Restaurant, Liberty Limousine Service, UCI/Dream Giveaway, Corvette Center, Sports Car Driving Association LLC
Kids Wish Networkis a national charitable organization dedicated to infusing hope, creating happy memories, and improving the quality of life for children having experienced life-altering situations. Kids Wish Network assists children and their families through several key programs. Every child deserves a chance at happiness; a wish is just a way of bringing them that joy.

The Road We Travel is a series of reflections written by Arlene J. Frank, Womencenter Program Coordinator
Mary White, founding mother of the Womencenter, died in November of 2007. These are the words shared by the Womencenter at her memorial service:
Mary White was an "uppity" woman. The women's movement knew no better friend, advocate, or organizer. She was a gentle, caring, savvy, insightful, and outspoken champion
for all women. She was a teacher, a leader, and a tireless advocate. She could recognize a problem, see through the problem, and see past that same problem. She could
tell it like it was, how it is, and how it should and would be. She had a sense of history, currency, and the future. She understood deeply - philosophically, politically,
personally, and practically - that women's oppression could be fought and that women could and would rise to their natural potential when given the chance. She opened
doors for women students at Oakland Community College, created space for them, and gave them a seat at the table.
Mary White had insight, she had insight into the women students who came to see her as a counselor at Oakland Community College's Orchard Ridge campus. In 1972, she saw
women struggling to define who they were, who they could become, and what resources and programs were available to them, as they struggled through the roadblocks to becoming
successful students at the college and to finding meaningful and fulfilling lives and careers. If she had only had the insight and spoken to her students about what they
could accomplish, that would have been enough. But she harnessed that insight and coupled it with vision - vision of a program that would do more than just talk to each
individual woman student, vision of a program that would bring women students together to recognize and discern the sexism in the society that was affecting them in the
choices and options in their lives. Mary's vision brought women together through a program that could help them to learn what they needed to learn about themselves in
order to become successful. And if she had only had the insight and vision, that too would have been enough. But Mary understood the importance of joining insight and
vision with action - and she took action. With the help of the staff and students at the College, she created a place that would nurture the women who were coming back
to school; that would connect the issues in society and politics with what was happening in their everyday lives - domestic violence, narrow career choices, gender inequity,
low self esteem, pay inequity, lack of child care. Mary had the insight, and the vision, and the commitment to action - and she created the Womencenter, a place that
is nurturing, supportive, and educational to women students at the College as well as to women in the larger community. She discussed and programmed topics that many
of these women had never expressed - this was consciousness raising at its most meaningful. And if Mary had only had insight, vision, and action - these all would have
been enough.
But, finally, she was a mentor as well. Mary made sure that what she and others at the College had created would have a chance to survive, that there would be a legacy.
The Womencenter, now 35 years later, is strong and present for women at the College and in the community because she realized it from her deep insight, her clear vision,
and her unwavering action. Her consistent and comprehensive efforts are still impacting, and will forever impact, women at Oakland Community College. Her legacy is the
imprint she has left on the Womencenter, the College, the community, and all those who knew her, worked with her and were changed through her. A chorus of voices of those
eternally grateful women now sing Mary to her final rest.
Girls can gain a lot of social status for being in a relationship, and letting that go can be hard to do.
In the past year and a half I've become active in speaking to teens about dating abuse. It is distressing and I feel outraged when I think about violent dating relationships,
but I won't close my eyes to the truth. According to a survey commissioned by the Empower Program and sponsored by Liz Claiborne Inc., 24% of 14 to 17 year-olds know
at least one student who has been the victim of dating violence. A Children Now/Kaiser Permanente poll shows 40% of teenage girls ages 14 to 17 report knowing someone
their age who has been hit or beaten by a boyfriend. Yet 81% of parents either believe teen dating violence is not an issue or admit they don't know if it is an issue.
The vast majority of the victims of teen dating violence are girls, and not all abuse is physical; emotional and verbal forms of abuse are very real and constitute a
considerable component in violent teen relationships. It's hard for many of us to think about 14 year olds in dating relationships, much less that they may be the targets
of violence in those relationships. But statistics and anecdotes and personal stories tell us that we must be thinking, seriously and actively, about teen dating abuse
and how we can help to stop the cycle in the lives of our teens. I encourage you to visit the website www.loveisnotabuse.com to get information for you and for
teens. Hiding our heads in the sand won't make this public health issue go away; becoming informed and active in eradicating teen dating abuse will positively affect
the boys and girls we know and love.
STEPS to the future
This past summer, high-school girls came together again at a summer STEPS (Science, Technology and Engineering Preview) camp held by OCC. They were looking to expand
their exposure to and knowledge of science, math, technology, and engineering opportunities. In addition, the girls we hosted learned about self worth, budgeting, teen
dating violence, life management, personality profile and career exploration, and self defense. They were given opportunities to discover, apply, and succeed in areas
traditionally populated by men, along with the chance to discover strength, creativity, wisdom, and resourcefulness within themselves. These girls will be looking to
live their lives outside of the traditional career paths women have been directed to for many years – and they will succeed with the help of programs like STEPS.
"You cannot be what you cannot see." ~Governor Jennifer Granholm
The Governor spoke these words at the National Organization for Women (NOW) nationwide conference held in metropolitan Detroit this summer. But she could have spoken
them forty-one years ago when NOW first was formed. While there have been many significant changes for women over the past forty-one years, there are many issues raised
at those first organizing meetings and consciousness-raising sessions that still remain today. Domestic violence (see the comments above), body image, education and careers,
work/life balance, pay equity, media images of women, physical safety, social roles – these are the issues that were talked about at both the first NOW conference and
at the 2007 conference. And while career opportunities have expanded for girls and women, there is still not true career equity in either education or the world of work.
Girls need to see women working in non-traditional careers to believe that it's possible. Those "uppity" NOW women who, forty-one years ago, marched, advocated, spoke
out, and demanded to be heard are the women upon whose shoulders we now stand. They created the possibilities for a variety of programs for girls by advocating for greater
choices and opportunities for women in the workforce, in politics, the family, and the greater society. They opened the door to equality (we're still walking through
that door), to questioning the status-quo for women, and they gave us the courage and insight to continue to advocate for resolution to the issues yet to be solved. There
is a bridge that crosses the years and generations – the issues that bind us together. The women who pioneered the modern women's movement in the 1960s, and those who
have carried on their work, have continuously extended their hands across that bridge to the young women from each subsequent generation in the ongoing struggle for women's

28 year old woman | Brooklyn, NY, USA | Seeking men 27-34 within 50 miles
Smiling is my favorite :)
Hi there! I'm here in hopes to find someone I can finally get excited about and share this great city with. Thought it would be easier in such a tremendous place like NY, but has been suprisingly hard to come by! I moved back to NY slightly over a year ago for my career after spending 8 years in Tampa/Miami for school and work. I'm extremely passionate in all aspects of my life and keep a very active lifestyle. I consider myself to be a very adventourous gal who finds happiness in helping others. I love to experiece new things and don't mind getting my hands dirty here and there. I also have a pup named Jaxson who I'm in love with. We love going to prospect park for a good run! I've been lucky enough to travel as much as I have at my age. The best part is coming back with a new appreciation of life and culture. I love it all, but Peru, Belize, Barcelona, Rome, and Amsterdam rank at the top of my list of places been. Next on the list is Cambodia or Brazil for Carnival (where my beautiful parents met 33 years ago and still just in love). Overall, I'm looking for a motivated man who is just as open minded to laugh and have fun with! Enjoying an active lifestyle is a must. I'm also very passionate about working hard! I have a no-nonsense work attitutude, so it's important for me to find someone who is just as driven. On a side note, If you find yourself basing relationships on looks rather then substance, it probably won't work out for us. Attraction is very important, but should not be the only basis of a relationship. That's enough for now... :)
Camping , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Dancing, Football, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I don't believe in astrology
I have Dogs
I have the sweetest pup named Jaxson! He's a pit/boston terrier mix rescue. He's easy to fall in love with- just a cute mush!
Middle of the Road
Depends on the evening! I'm more of a grab a beer and play darts type, but can also throw on some heels and hit meatpacking if the night calls for it.
Yoga & Music! Life always needs a beat. I have an eclectic appreication of music, but here are some favorites-Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ingrid Michaelson, The XX, Frank Sinatra, Pretty Lights, Rolling Stones, Citizen Cope, DMB & electronic/dance music

Packing for vacation is never an easy task. And when there are kids involved, it can be even more of a chore.
My family and I are headed to Walt Disney World this week and I've already began putting together my packing list. Here are some of the things I have on my list:
Sunscreen - I never leave home without it. No matter if it's summertime or winter, the sunshine is always there and I don't want to get burned. Plus, bringing my own bottle from home is a great money-saver.
Bedtime Necessities – When we travel, my girls sleep better if they have their favorite books and stuffed animals. As a mom, whatever makes bedtime easier works for me!
Breakfast – If we aren't staying somewhere that offers free breakfast, we typically bring our own. I usually bring muffins, donuts – something that travels well. It's a great way to save money, but it's also a timesaver for us. We can all take turns getting ready and eating breakfast.
What are some of your family's 'must have' items and tips for traveling?

'Just My Luck'
Fortunately, "Just My Luck" didn't require a lot of acting on the part of the teen star; the bulk of her performance is handled by her wardrobe, her hair, and her shoes: The more dressed-down she is, and the more mussed her locks get, the more she's learning to be a better person.
"Just My Luck" is a princess-and-the-pauper story, with Lohan playing a rising publicist, and the luckiest girl in
Suddenly, cabs are splashing her instead of stopping for her, and her boss hates her, and she keeps tripping over everything. As Lohan tries to find the guy and rebalance her universe, the usual wacky mishaps ensue, involving a couple of epic pratfalls, various sprayed fluids and some really nasty cat litter, all set to the music of up-and-coming band McFly, a
The whole thing is deeply disposable, but not exactly bad although director
It's not a classic or anything, but at least it's better than "Herbie: Fully Loaded," and maybe that's all we need right now.
Fox's flipper
You'd think there'd be a commentary track so Lohan might giggle her way into her fans' hearts all over again, but ... no such luck.

No DNA proof but die hard fan drops $18G for hunk of Elvis' hair.
Well, to be precise, $18,3000 for a chunk of the late King's locks at a Chicago auction that also featured other Presley items including clothing, Xmas cards and LPs from El's personal jukebox.
The memorabilia was from the collection of Elvis uber-fan Gary Pepper, who was one-time president of the national Elvis fan club.
The hair was reportedly given to Pepper to mail to die hard Pres-o-philes, according to the auction catalogue, after Elvis' hair was shorn from his Army induction in 1958. The symbolic shaving was the subject of newsreels and media glare as the Army hoped to induce recruitment.
A "leading expert in celebrity hair authentication," claims the hair matches his own personal hunk of Elvis' hair, taken from the same haircut.
But without DNA confirmation that the 51 year old cuttings ARE Elvis', it's just a hank of hair, no piece of bone.

Diamond Stealth 3D 2000
I have this card and am looking for Linux drivers. I read somewhere that Diamond Multimedia was some years ago absorbed by Nvidia Corp. If this is correct, can someone tell whether there are Linux drivers for this card? At the time of its manufacture, there weren't any on the CD that came with it.
Thanks, John.
I don't think Diamond's video card division was absorbed by anyone. They pretty much faded away. I assume from the name that the card is an S3 Savage 2000. There should be native support for this old chipset within most modern Linux kernels. For 3D/OpenGL drivers, you'd probably have to hit Sourceforge because I don't think S3 would have drivers available for a card that old.
If it's an NVIDIA card (Riva TNT or better) the current Linux drivers available from www.nvidia.com will work. Check out the NVIDIA Linux forum here for download and installation instructions.
BTW, some mod want to move this to the proper Linux forum?
This may be of some interest to you. None of Diamond was assimiliated by NVIDIA AFAIK. Part/all was done so by S3.
P.S. Diamond Stealth 2000 is a really old legacy card, I think it uses an S3 Virge chipset :eek:
S3 Virge = :barf:
I have the Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 on an old box. The graphics card is easily detected by the install programs in GNU/Linux/XFree releases. It is detected and the driver is tdfx.
It is slow compared to todays cards but works well. Don't forget to turn on dri to help the speed.

Originally written on Project Spurs | Last updated 1/7/13
The San Antonio Spurs (27-9) hit the road again with a visit to Louisiana to face the New Orleans Hornets (8-25) and will also welcome back forward Stephen Jackson who has been out with an ankle injury suffered in New York. This will be the third meeting for the Spurs and Hornets this season with the Spurs winning the first two. In the second meeting, the Spurs handed the Hornets a 99-94 loss at home last month. Tony Parker paced the Spurs with 25 points and 5 assists while Tim Duncan added 15 points and 10 rebounds. For the Hornets, Anthony Davis finished with 18 points and 11 rebounds. The Spurs are coming off a convincing win over the Sixers 109-86 in San Antonio. Tony Parker led the way with 20 points, 5 assists, 2 rebounds. The Hornets are coming off a 99-96 overtime win versus Dallas. Greivis Vasquez finished with 25 points. And as the Spurs look to avoid their sixth loss in eight road games in New Orleans, here are five things to watch for during tonight's contest: • The Spurs have averaged just 99.4 points in its last seven road games. • Hornets' Greivis Vasquez is averaging 20.0 ppg and 10.5 apg in his last six games. • The Hornets are 0-14 when their opponent scores 100 points or more. • The Hornets are 0-1 when tied at halftime. • Hornets' Robin Lopez has scored 10-plus points in six of his last nine games, and is averaging 14.8 ppg over that stretch.

Update 16 February 2012: Bob Farra's team have now released results of their osteoporosis clinical trial. By implanting a parathyroid hormone fragment-releasing microchip in seven women with osteoporosis for one year, the group confirmed that the microchip delivered similar levels of drug to that achieved by injection. The participants also had higher blood levels of specific proteins that suggest a boost in bone formation (Science Translational Medicine, DOI: 10.1126/scitranslmed.3003276).
Original article, posted 5 May 2011
DAILY injections can be a pain in the backside, literally. A new drug-release implant that could deliver timed doses for a year may provide some relief.
So say Bob Farra and colleagues at Microchips in Waltham, Massachusetts, who are developing the pacemaker-like device.
Inserted under the skin, it features a chip with a number of metal-walled wells containing a drug. To seal the wells without using heat, which could affect the potency of the drug inside, the group uses a process called interference fitting. "It's like forcing together pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that don't quite fit," says Farra. The process crushes the lid to the sides of the well, forming a tight seal.
Each well is wired to a battery. When an electric current is applied to a well, part of the container melts, releasing the drug. The current can be controlled from outside the body or can be pre-programmed (Nature Biotechnology, DOI: 10.1038/nbt1199).
The team are now testing a 20-well version of the device in people with osteoporosis. The only bone-building therapy on offer for these individuals is a daily injection of parathyroid hormone, and many are unwilling to commit to this, says Farra.
The team denies that a fault in the device could cause a drug overdose. The battery does not generate enough power to open all the wells at once, says Farra. What's more, the metal cover for each well is robust: only a pressure equivalent to the weight of an average-sized car directly on the chip would damage it.
Microchips has licensed the technology to a company that plans to insert a smaller version of the device into the eyes of people with macular degeneration. At present these people risk going blind unless they have frequent injections into their eyes, says Ajit Gill, also at the company.
Vincent Lee at the Chinese University of Hong Kong points out that only drugs potent enough to work in small volumes could be used in the device, and that they would have to remain stable for months in the body. "Were these hurdles overcome, this invention would accelerate the implementation of personalised drug therapy," he says.

Updated 09/09/2012
Right on the Niederdorf's main square, Hirschenplatz, this squeaky-clean Swiss-kitsch restaurant has an airy, modern decor, with Alpine-rustic chairs. It serves good home-cooked national specialties: Geschnetzeltes, Rösti, Leberli, bratwurst, schnitzel, and battered fish with french fries and tartar sauce—the gang's all here. An added attraction if you're visiting in summer: fondue and raclette, usually winter dishes, are served year-round. Excellent lunch menus are rock-bottom cheap and served double quick. There's outdoor seating on the cobblestone pedestrian square in warm weather.

We spent just one night in Zurich before our flight home. Upon arriving at the train station we took a walk around the Nierderdorf area in search of lunch and stumbled across Adler's Swiss Chuchi, which I remembered seeing in Fodor's. All four of us had a wonderful chicken soup topped with puffed pastry, served by an extremely friendly waiter. The restaurant was walking distance to our hotel, and we liked it so much we decided to return for dinner.
We arrived without reservations, but managed to be seated. It's a good thing that we went early (6:30), as it was a Friday night and the restaurant became packed, with a waiting line outside. The Veal Cordon Blue and the calves liver dish were excellent -- and the Rosti potatoes were the best we had in Switzerland!

Barbican Sets Full Schedule for Beckett Centenary
Editorial Staff • West End • 17 Mar 2006
At the Barbican, the Gate Theatre Dublin's acclaimed production of Waiting for Godot directed by Walter Asmus, which was one of the highlights of the Dublin venue's 1999 Beckett festival, is restaged. Original cast members Stephen Brennan, Barry McGovern, Johnny Murphy and Alan Stanford are reunited, and joined by Barry O'Connell for the London run, from 5 April to 15 April (preview 4 April) in the Barbican Theatre, before transferring back to the Gate.
A new production of Endgame, directed by Charles Sturridge, runs at the Barbican from 20 to 23 April (previews from 18 April), starring Kenneth Cranham, Peter Dinklage, Georgina Hale and Tom Hickey.
In The Pit, John Hurt reprises his lauded performance in Krapp's Last Tape, which played during the Gate's 1999 Beckett Festival and subsequently transferred to London. Directed by Robin Lefevre, it runs at the Barbican from 26 April to 6 May (preview 25 April), following a season in Dublin.
Audiences can also see three double bills of some of Beckett's shorter plays in the Barbican's Pit: Rockaby, directed by Loveday Ingram and starring Sian Phillips, and Ohio Impromptu, directed by Nick Dunning and starring Peter Cadden and Harry Towb, run together from 22 to 28 March (preview 21 March); Footfalls, directed by Alan Gilsenan and starring Susan Fitzgerald and Justine Mitchell, and Come and Go, directed by Annie Ryan and starring Barbara Brennan, Susan Fitzgerald and Bernadette McKenna, run from 31 March to 9 April (preview 30 March); and Play, directed by Michael Barker Caven and starring Ingrid Craigie, Nick Dunning and Catherine Walker, and Catastrophe, directed by Selina Cartmell and starring Olwen Fouere, Owen Roe and Karl Sullivan, run from 13 to 23 April 2006 (preview 12 April).
There will also be visual displays including films and photographs of the playwright (who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969), and poetry readings and discussions taking place throughout the Festival.
Meanwhile, the University of Reading in Berkshire explores the life and works of the influential writer at the Museum of Reading from 25 March to 25 June 2006. Featuring interactive, visual and auditory components, Samuel Beckett – The Irish European will tell the story of Beckett's life and achievements from his birth in Dublin on 13 April 1906, through his wartime experiences in France, to his worldwide fame following the success of Waiting for Godot and his death in 1989.

I received this as a sample and fell in love! The mauve shade is similar enough to my own lip color that I can wear it every day, and the minty tingle is an added bonus! I could definitely notice the plumping effects. My only complaint is that is has a slight odor that was a little off-putting at first, but the longer I wear it, the less I notice the smell.4

Today is the feast day of St. Rita, who is the patroness of impossible causes, especially rough marriages and cases of domestic abuse.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - St. Rita had a hard life. As a child she asked her parents to enter a convent, but they arranged a marriage to her instead. Her husband was abusive and confrontational and after many long years of marriage he was murdered in a fight with another man. By the grace of God and Rita's prayers her husband repented before he died.
Her two sons also died young, leaving Rita alone. Despite the tragedy, Rita was now able to enter the convent. While there she was admired for her prayer life and according to legend she asked to share in the suffering of Christ and she was given a partial stigmata on her forehead which would often bleed.
St. Rita, patroness of impossible causes, aid us who call to you!
After her death, many miracles were attributed to Rita and she was canonized in 1900.
The difficult nature of her life before the convent led to her understanding of what women endure at the hands of those who abuse them. The salvation of her husband by virtue of her intercession also makes her a symbol of hope for women who pray to improve their marriages.

King and Maxwell
Another good David Baldacci book. I could read this authors work over and over again. I have to make myself move onto someone else.
Mad River
What a page turner this one turned out to be. I've read a few works by this author, but this book made me make a list of books by him to read in the future.
Red Wolf
This was a new author for me. I have liked the Scandinavian authors in the past. Not sure if I will read her works again or not.
Chasing the Dime
I'm a big fan of this author, but wasn't as happy with this particular book and with some of his past works. Just didn't seem to keep my interest.
The Murder of King Tut
This was for our local book club; we all picked a non-fiction and gave a book report on it. I usually like James Patterson, so I thought I'd give him a try with this non-fiction. Very, very interesting and a great read. Thanks book club for stretching me once again.
Heaven is for Real
Wow, chilling listen. It was so interesting to hear directly from the author on this book. This is a remarkable story.
Heaven in High
I've never read or listened to anything by this author before. It was very enjoyable and a good mystery.
Rollins strikes again
Rollins has created a tight unit with Tucker and Kane, almost joined at the hip. Tucker Wayne could be the soldier you know that came back from action. The characters are strong and engaging. The situations they get into are tight with near escapes. I enjoyed the action but miss some of the historical and scientific bent that Rollins is noted for in his Sigma Force series. A story that has you wondering could this be true today.
I look forward to where Rollins will be taking this series.
Strangeness Abounds
This takes place in the English countryside. And there are some murders involved, but the characters are slightly demented, strange, odd, bizarre and perplexing. This is not a scary intense who-dun-it typical mystery. I thought more description would bring definition of why these people were so eccentric but as you keep reading their backgrounds come to light and give insight to their behavior. The author has some strange turns and twists in the plot but everything adds up to a cozy mystery.
Right from the Headlines
This story is taken right from the Headlines of what happens when small children are left alone in a hot car.
The main character is a social worker who did not realize that her 1 year old baby was in the van when she rushed off to help another child in need. The social worker got to live through what she herself put other parents through while she is on the job. Very well written story. I like all of Heather Gudenkauf's books.

I have been taking photos ever since I received my first Kodak X-15 Instamatic Camera at the age of 10. In grade school, my best friend's father was a photographer, we got to "play" with cameras and in the darkroom. With camera in hand I was fortunate growing up to have traveled around the US more than most at an early age. Traveling gave me an appreciation for the world around me. I started seeing in a different way, different perspective and appreciating what I saw. As I got older I had the opportunity to travel a little bit overseas which opened up my eyes to other cultures and even more ways of seeing the world. Capturing these views and perspectives on film at first and now digital and sharing them is my passion. I am finally...

Hello everyone! I have just completed my first semester of college at CU, and I cannot wait to tell you about my experiences through freshman year! After a stressful load of finals in mid-December, it was great to have almost a month-long break to go home, visit family, and relax for a bit.
Finally the time has come to return to Boulder for second semester! I am amazed by how quick these past months have gone by, but as they say, times flies when you are having fun!
Speaking of time, I was thinking back to where I was a year ago, and I can't help but remember the feelings of stress, anxiety, and anxiousness I felt just around this time of the year. Being a senior in high school, I had applied to all of my colleges, visited many of them, and was waiting to hear back. Part of what made me so nervous was the fact that I applied to a wide range of schools, not only academically, but geographically. I was very torn because it wasn't that I wanted to attend one school over another, but I would soon have to pick ONLY one school to attend. What I really wanted was to go to ALL of them! Coming from a small beach town in southern California, I had been spoiled with fabulous weather, sandy beaches, and fish tacos year round. I knew this was my opportunity to experience a life different from what I had been living for the past 18 years. As my parents said, "You can live anywhere for four years!" Now was the time.
A few months passed, and finally it was decision time. I really surprised myself because I began to have second thoughts about leaving my home state. California was comfortable to me. I could go to the beach every day. I knew people there.
However, as I continued to research and review my options, something kept drawing me back to Colorado. After visiting CU's campus, I didn't know if it was the uniform, brick buildings, the plethora of academic opportunities, or the Division 1 sporting teams that grasped my heart. It might even have been the crisp mountain air! While most other schools I applied to were not as big as CU, one thing that really resonated with me when I toured the campus was that you can make a big school feel like a small school (by putting yourself out there, getting involved, participating, etc), but you can't make a small school any bigger than it is. Regardless, it was clear that CU Boulder was the school that had it all.
That being said, I also want to note that I never got "the feeling" they say you get when you visit the right school. I knew that I loved it, and that everyone on campus seemed to love it as well, but it still took courage to commit.
One year later, I am happily halfway through my first year, and loving every minute! There is not doubt in my mind that I made the right college decision. I have met many interesting and diverse people through my classes and through joining organizations on campus. I have gotten to know my professors on a personal level, and I have been pleasantly surprised after realizing that not every class at a large university has hundreds of students in it (something that I was previously concerned about!). I have experienced all different types of weather that I never got in California: extreme heat, flash floods, bitter ice, and piles of snow. I have continued to live an active lifestyle, running and hiking in the Flatirons and taking full advantage of our Rec Center (newly remodeled and state-of-the-art!). I have (almost) survived the bittersweet experience of living in a dorm, but that is a story for another day. In addition, I have started this blog for the Office of Admissions because I am so in love with my school and my town. I hope that all prospective students and parents can read along and see what life is like as a college student in 2014, and hopefully make a more educated decision about their own college selections.
I look forward to sharing all the new experiences spring semester will bring!
Go Buffs!

"The book is comprehensive and as such is an excellent overview of the journey of putting into practice an operational risk program from scratch to full implementation. The descriptions of the challenges and their resolutions are informative for both those just starting and are seeing guidance as well as experts looking to learn how a leading bank solved a particular issue." —Tony Peccia, Operational Risk Policy and Implementation, Citigroup
"The most interesting topics in the operational risk field are tackled rigorously but at the same time with a genuine practitioner's passion. In this book, I found the same spirit that gave life to DIPO, our loss data consortium: sharing ideas and experiences is the only way to improve." —Claudia Pasquini, Secretary General, DIPO, Italian Operational Risk Data Consortium
"The chapter The Development of ORM in UniCredit Group is a practical guide that discusses Operational Risk methodology including comprehensive detail on statistical methods for calculating operational risk capital. A 'real world' example of how to approach the implementation of an Operational Risk practice for financial institutions." - Laura Polak, Director, Product Management, Algorithmics, Incorporated
"I believe that this work by Aldo Soprano, Bert Crielaard, Fabio Piacenza and Daniele Ruspantini represents a compulsory tool for risk managers, regulators and academics doing research in the area of operational and reputational risk." - Andrea Sironi, Professor of Finance, Universita Bocconi
The book presents a set of risk assessment methods which will be of use to risk managers and quantitative risk analysts for a variety of risk management purposes in unique scenarios. The reader is taken through the processes of risk assessment in view of the Basel Accord requirements, from the identification and evaluation of the calculation dataset, to scenario analysis and analysing insurance for operational risk. The calculation dataset is used for a robust operational loss modelling of capital at risk, for insurance contracts and their effects on individual loss events. The authors present techniques for parametric estimation and analytical methods to select appropriate statistical distributions for severity and frequency of loss classes to obtain VaR for individual business environments. There are also copula-based methods of calculation of overall capital. Finally, the authors present an analysis of insurance policies and models for calculating reputational risk, inextricably linked to operational risk, and a type of exposure which is increasingly important in view of recent large loss events at major banks gaining a great deal of media exposure.
This title presents useful ways of approaching operational risk management to meet the requirements of the Basel II Accord, while the authors' flexible approach (combining LDA and SBA methods) makes its risk analysis meaningful to different types and sizes of financial institution. The title will be valuable to quantitative analysts, quantitative developers and risk managers trying to digest and integrate the new Basel requirements.

The necklace is choker style with a "J" hook . Unhooked this beauty measures 16" from end to end and the matching bracelet is 7". The necklace could have additional chain added to the back by a jeweler to extend it a bit more.

Gordon Hayward scored 17 points in his first start since November, including a 3-pointer with 17 seconds left, and the Utah Jazz beat the Memphis Grizzlies 90-84 on Saturday night. The Grizzlies (44-21) had won 14 of 15 but have dropped two straight to close out a four-game road trip. Utah (34-32) pulled within a half-game of the idle Lakers for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Jerryd Bayless led all scorers with 24 points. Memphis teammate Zach Randolph added 19 and Mike Conley 13 but on just 6-of-18 shooting. The Jazz started sixth man Hayward to provide a spark on both ends. He added eight rebounds. The Jazz used the lineup change to put behind a forgettable effort in Wednesday's 23-point loss in Oklahoma City, when they scored 28 in the first half and shot a season-low 35 percent. They also played with more energy on Saturday. Mo Williams dived to the floor to force a Memphis shot-clock violation in the first quarter and Enes Kanter went head fi...
