From a Department of Veterans Affairs News Release
WASHINGTON, June 18, 2014 Acting Veterans Affairs Secretary Sloan D. Gibson today directed all of the department's medical center and health care system directors to conduct monthly in-person reviews of scheduling practices in every clinic within their jurisdiction.
Site inspections will include observing daily scheduling processes and interacting with scheduling staff to ensure all policies are being followed to deliver veterans the timely care they have earned, VA officials said.
"Our top priority is getting veterans off of wait lists and into clinics," Gibson said. "We need our folks in the facilities to work directly with staff, answer all questions, and ensure our veterans receive the timely care they have earned.
"Veterans must trust their health care system," he continued, "and these reviews are an important step towards restoring integrity in all our scheduling activities."
In addition to monthly reviews of more than 900 Veterans Health Administration facilities nationwide, Veterans Integrated Service Network directors will conduct similar visits to at least one medical center within their area of responsibility every 30 days, completing visits to all medical centers in their network every 90 days, officials said.
This action follows the VA's release of results from its nationwide access audit, along with facility-level patient access data.

Portland Selected to Showcase Field Issuance Remodel Program at National Conference in Orlando, Florida
Oct 21, 2008 at 3:17 PM 0 Comments

Contact: Alisa Cour, 503.823.4017
(Portland, OR) The Bureau of Development Services has been selected to showcase its popular Field Issuance Remodel (FIR) Program at the National League of Cities' City Showcase. Held November 11 – 15 in Orlando, Florida, the City Showcase is an annual exhibition of successful, creative programs from cities and towns across the country, attracting more than 4,000 of the nation's officials.
"We are proud to be recognized as a cutting edge program and are eager to share our success with others interested in the FIR concept from around the country," said Jed Scheuermann, Focused Residential Programs Section Manager.
The FIR Program started as a pilot project five years ago with one inspector. It now has three full time inspectors and has enjoyed tremendous growth and support from its members. Participating in the program means that contractors rarely have to go downtown to obtain permits because the FIR inspector is present on-site before a project begins to review and approve plans, troubleshoot issues and conduct inspections. This helps to eliminate some of the remodeling surprises early on, allows customers to start work more quickly and provides a single-point-of-contact to the contractor.
The FIR Program owes its popularity in part to a guiding philosophy of providing unparalleled customer service. The continued demand for the FIR Program's services has allowed the bureau to expand the program to include nearly 80 contractors and provide increased focus on contractors specializing in sustainable building.
"For me as a contractor, the FIR Program has delivered on all of its promised benefits," says Kathryn Merritt of Great Kate Construction Company. "A streamlined permitting and inspection process and working with individuals who understand and appreciate the challenges of construction is essential."
Cities and towns chosen to participate in the City Showcase are small and large, rural and urban, from all corners of the United States, reflecting the diversity of the nation. City programs focus on economic development, neighborhood revitalization, public safety, youth, public works, human services, environment, and recreation, just to name a few. Prior year's City Showcase participants illustrate the broad range of programs and diversity of cities and towns highlighted.
The National League of Cities is the nation's oldest and largest organization devoted to strengthening and promoting cities as centers of opportunity, leadership and governance. NLC is a resource and advocate for 19,000 cities, towns and villages.
About the Bureau of Development Services (BDS):

An Analysis of Corporate Accounting and Reporting Practices in Bahrain
Date: December 1993
Creator: Abdul-Rahim, Hassan M.
Description: The primary objective of this dissertation is to determine the factors that have shaped the corporate financial reporting practices in Bahrain. Prior researchers have offered two explanations, environmental factors and cultural importation, for the emergence of financial reporting practices in developing countries. The environmental explanation suggests that a nation's financial reporting practices will be shaped by its socioeconomic structure. The cultural importation explanation states that the desire for international legitimacy creates incentives for developing nation to adopt Western financial reporting practices. Bahrain provided an excellent environment in which to examine the two explanations since its public and closed corporations have similar economic characteristics. Only public corporations are legally required to publish financial reports. I posited that public corporations would try to gain legitimacy for their published reports by adopting Western standards, while closed corporations would not have a similar incentive. I used an interpretive framework to analyze the Bahrain socioeconomic environment and to examine the general financial reporting practices of Bahraini corporations. I found that closed corporations provided data responsive to the Bahraini environment. Public corporations, however, adopted International Accounting Standards. My analysis supported prior researchers7 findings that colonialism, the need for international legitimacy, and international audit firms were important ...

An investigation of the effects of SFAS No.121 on asset impairment reporting and stock returns
Date: December 2001
Creator: Alshabani, Waleed Mohammad
Description: Prior to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.121 (SFAS No.121): Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, managers had substantial discretion concerning the amount and timing of reporting writedowns of long-lived assets. Moreover, the frequency and dollar amount of asset writedown announcements that led to a large "surprise" caused the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to consider the need for a new standard to guide the recording of impairment of long-lived assets. This study has two primary objectives. First, it investigates the effects of SFAS No.121 on asset impairment reporting, examining whether SFAS No.121 reduces the magnitude and restricts the timing of reporting asset writedowns. Second, the study compares the information content (surprise element) of the asset impairment loss announcement as measured by cumulative abnormal returns (CAR) before and after the issuance of SFAS No.121. The findings provide support for the hypothesis that the FASB's new accounting standard does not affect the magnitude of asset writedown losses. The findings also provide support for the hypothesis that SFAS No. 121 does not affect the management choice of the timing for reporting asset writedowns. In addition, the findings ...

Accounting Measurement Bias and Executive Compensation Systems
Date: December 1994
Creator: Boone, Jeffery Paul
Description: This dissertation presents empirical evidence intended to help answer two research questions. The first question asks whether executive compensation systems appear to exploit the bias in accounting-based performance measures in order to reduce the volatility in executive compensation and to allocate incentives more effectively across the range of activities performed by the executive. The second question asks whether compensation systems systematically differ between firms that use alternative accounting methods and whether any such systematic difference helps explain accounting choice. Parameters estimated in fixed-effects endogenous switching regression models were used to test the risk-shielding and incentive-allocation hypotheses. The models were estimated across a dataset consisting of 1151 executive-year observations of annual compensation paid to 222 top-level executives in 40 oil and gas firms. The dataset was partitioned by accounting method and separate models estimated for the full cost and successful efforts partitions. The tests provided modest support for the risk-shielding and incentive-allocation hypotheses, revealing that accounting measurement bias is used to focus incentives for effort in the exploration activity and to reduce executives' exposure to production risk. The design also allowed an estimate of the proportional change in compensation that was realized from the accounting choice actually made.

An Experimental Examination of the Effects of Fraud Specialist and Audit Mindsets on Fraud Risk Assessments and on the Development of Fraud-Related Problem Representations
Date: August 2010
Creator: Chui, Lawrence
Description: Fraud risk assessment is an important audit process that has a direct impact on the effectiveness of auditors' fraud detection in an audit. However, prior literature has shown that auditors are generally poor at assessing fraud risk. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) suggests that auditors may improve their fraud risk assessment performance by adopting a fraud specialist mindset. A fraud specialist mindset is a special way of thinking about accounting records. While auditors think about the company's recorded transactions in terms of the availability of supporting documentations and the authenticity of the audit trail, fraud specialists think instead of accounting records in terms of the authenticity of the events and activities that are behind the reported transactions. Currently there is no study that has examined the effects of the fraud specialist mindset on auditors' fraud risk assessment performance. In addition, although recent studies have found that fraud specialists are more sensitive than auditors in discerning fraud risk factors in situation where a high level of fraud risk is present, it remains unclear whether the same can be said for situation where the risk of fraud is low. Thus, the purpose of my dissertation is to examine the effects ...

The Relationship between Privatization, Culture, Adoption of International Accounting Standards, and Accounting in Egypt
Date: December 1998
Creator: Dahawy, Khaled M.
Description: This study explores how the Egyptian socioeconomic factors impacted the implementation of International Accounting Standards (IASs) in Egypt. Prior research concluded that developing nations have special needs when it comes to accounting and financial reporting and recommended nation-specific analysis. The author adapts Gray's (1988) model, which connects Hofstede's cultural dimensions with accounting practice, to fit the Egyptian environment.

Financial Reporting in Poland: Privatization of Select Firms Traded on the Warsaw Stock Exchange
Date: December 1996
Creator: De la Rosa, Denise M. (Denise Mary), 1949-
Description: Poland's transition from a centrally-planned economy (CPE) to a market economy began in 1989. Building a market economy out of the failures of a CPE represents an unprecedented process in the history of economic development. At the core of the transition is the privatization of state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Many problems encountered during privatization are accounting related, and before privatization can occur valuation issues must be resolved. What has been the role of accounting in Poland's transition? Accounting is an interactive process that reflects and creates reality. The accounting process facilitates the calculation of the value created by a firm by attempting to trace the flow of resources through the value-creating process, and it identifies, measures, records, summarizes, and reports transactions. How these transactions are internalized determines how they flow through the accounting process, and, because the former SOEs are complex organizations in transition, decisions concerning when and how to record events can be diverse. The primary objective of this study is to provide insight into the accounting transition in Poland by addressing issues of ownership rights, valuation, financial reporting, and disclosure. The research question is: How is accounting transforming and being transformed in Poland? The research question is addressed in ...

The Effects of Interactions with IRS Employees on Tax Practitioners' Attitudes toward the IRS
Date: December 1992
Creator: Gutierrez, Theresa Kay
Description: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of interactions with IRS employees on tax practitioners' attitudes toward the IRS. The mission of the IRS is to inspire the highest degree of public confidence as it collects the proper amount of tax revenues at the least cost to the public. The IRS believes it must project a favorable image to tax practitioners in order to foster a high level of support for its mission. Prior surveys of tax practitioners found that practitioners have generally unfavorable attitudes toward the IRS and its employees. This study examined whether the unfavorable attitudes result from interactions with IRS employees, and provides empirical evidence of the effects of interactions with IRS employees on tax practitioners' attitudes toward the IRS.

SAPD: Man goes 'wild' in back of patrol car
Suspect kicked out patrol car window, grabbed officer's taser weapon
SAN ANTONIO - San Antonio police say a man kicked out the window of a patrol car, injured an officer and tried to steal an officer's stun gun weapon during an arrest late Wednesday night.
Officers responded to a family violence call in the 1600 block of Tampico around 11 p.m., and arrested a man accused of assaulting his girlfriend.
Police said the suspect became belligerent and went wild in the back of the patrol car. Investigators said the man kicked out a window, and the shattered glass cut an officer.
The officer was taken to Metropolitan Hospital downtown for cuts on his hand, arm and leg. The suspect tried to grab the officer's stun gun. Another officer was finally able to subdue the suspect.
Police said the man faces charges for assault on an officer, taking an officer's weapon, criminal mischief and family violence.
He also had an outstanding warrant for criminal trespassing. His name has not been released.

Movie trailer
Comments pending.
Although this was a remake of "Love Affair", the fact that Leo McCarey directed both prevents the classic movie remake blues. Astoundingly, this film has practically erased its predecessor from the minds of most of today's moviegoers. This film is also way better than "Love Affair". Even though Charles Boyer was in it.
No matter how many times I watch it, "An Affair to Remember" never gets old. I still feel all the same fuzziness when Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr cautiously flirt, dine, and swim together. And I still cry every time when Grant, toward the end of the film, visits Kerr, and after some chit-chat opens the door where we see the reflection of a painting. If you haven't seen it you wouldn't understand. I think I'm one of the few men my friends know who cries for anything - I cry at dog shows, for crying out loud
If you haven't seen it . . . so sad. Please do.
The point is, it's been less than 2 months since Cary Grant Centennial #1 and I for one am proud of my consistency.
I loved An Affair to Remember the first time I saw it. I've loved it less with every viewing, though, and when I saw it at the Music Box yesterday I was bored. I generally try to review movies independent of their sources, be they based on books, plays, TV shows or, in this case, an earlier film. That said, I feel that my enjoyment of An Affair to Remember dwindled significantly once I saw Love Affair, the film on which it is based. And I feel an exception is merited in this case as they were both directed by Leo McCarey.
Leo McCarey directed some damn good films in his day. He won the Oscar for The Awful Truth and his other pictures include Going My Way and Duck Soup. Love Affair is another gem. Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer meet on a Transatlantic cruise headed for NYC. Despite the fact that they're engaged to other people, they fall in love and agree to resume their romance on top of the Empire State in six months.
The same thing happens in An Affair to Remember with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr in the leading roles. Deborah Kerr combined strength and vulerability perhaps better than any of her 1950s counterparts and she uses her talents to great effect here. Cary Grant is good as well, but at this stage in his career, he tended to play Cary Grant in all of his pictures. This isn't really a bad thing as he is, after all, Cary Grant but I miss the vitality he brought to his earlier pictures, especially The Awful Truth.
The most notable difference between An Affair to Remember and Love Affair is the running time. Love Affair comes in at a brisk 90 minutes while An Affair to Remember drags the same story out to two full hours. A large part of the reason is that AAtR was shot in Cinemascope. There are a lot of moments in the film in which nothing - and I mean nothing - happens. But just look at that French countryside.
Not that the running time is the only problem I found with AAtR. The movie is slow. I checked my watch for the first time about a half-hour in and kept checking it at 10 minute intervals wondering nwhy everything was taking so damn long. I also had the misfortune of watching a terrible print. It was scratched and the reels were poorly assembled, so I have no sense of the editing - an aspect of film that I've only recently come to appreciate.
And then there were the songs. The title song - every movie in the 50s had a title song - is just awful. Nothing but schmaltz and treacle vocalized by Vic Damone. Because of verious events in the film, Deborah Kerr ends up teaching in a Twentieth Cenury Fox circa 1957 version of an innner-city school. So we get to hear a chorus of obnoxious children sing obnoxiously. Twice.
One of these days I'll get around to renting Love Affair, the 1994 remake with Warren Beatty and Annett Bening. But only because it was Katharine Hepburn's last picture.
It wasn't bad...it wasn't good...it just was. A clean, well made movie with good actting but not much excitement.
Brilliantly shot, this love story explores the affair that a couple have aboard a cruise ship - and the time leading after they vow to meet in six months at the top of the Empire State Building. The picture is beautiful, bringing back a look at the romanticized past. (The scene 'shot' in beautiful Italy/France captures the characters and their blossoming romance, and the scene where one of the characters is inside a house, the Empire State Building reflected on the glass, glimpses into the destiny and a reminder of romance.) There are many things to like about this film, but the pacing/middle of the film is not one of them. The film seems to lose some direction after the accident, and a lo of effort and time seems to be placed here when it could have been, in my opinion, shortened or explored the characters' emotions a little more efficiently. Overall, it's an excellent and sad film, but it's beautifully made.
Is it the holiday season already? Insane. :eek:
I'm going to see "Rent" tonight. I'm not really sure what to expect. I've been looking forward to it for sometime and I like the music, so I'm sure I'll like the movie - but reviews are incredibly mixed. Its about 50/50 on rottentomatoes.com. Most critics say that if you like the stage show, you'll like the movie. I've never seen the stage show, but I'm sure I'll fall into that demographic. I'll post my review sometime this weekend.
I'm also going to see "Walk the Line" with my mom sometime over Thanksgiving - I'm going to try to squeeze Harry Potter in there, too. It will be a busy movie going weekend
I'm headed back to the WB for thanksgiving weekend. It feels like I haven't been "home" (more and more it feels like my parents house, instead of my house) for quite some time, even though its only been two months.
Anyway, just wanted to update so whoever reads this didn't think I'm dead or something.
Peace out
This story is a love story that a woman would love to have come true in her own life. Romance as strong and interesting as this hasn't been portrayed in any movie I've seen. Characters, scenes, humor, ad infinitum are special and beautiful. Cruise ship, villa and city sites were well pictured and made story line come more alive. Cary Grant plays the love bachelor in his own special and unique way, and who could ask for better counterpart than Deborah Kerr.
An Affair to Remember
I had huge expecations for this film. Ever since I watched Sleepless in Seattle (a million times) I've been meaning to watch An Affair to Remember. Finally I sat down and watched. So...I spent the first half of this movie really upset. Sure, it's romantic for the 2 people having the affair but what about the feelings of those on whom they're cheating? The second half makes me feel better. Averaging out my ratings it lands with a solid 8. Now if I could only get the theme song out of my head!!
"If you can paint, I can walk"? She's kidding, right? What on Earth does one have to do with the other?
What just kills me is the token little dancing black children in Deborah Kerr's inexplicable children's choir. Three adorable little blonde girls, assorted male urchins, and two dancing black kids, one of each. Well, what can you say? It was 1957--it's maginally impressive that there were black children at all.
The CBC is treating us to a Cary Grant doubleheader tonight. We've started with this most classic of his films. Oh, not my personal favorite, mind, nor even the one that took the most skill on his part, but after Sleepless in Seattle, one of his best-known.
I would frankly call this a melodrama, really. Oh, it's funny in places, gods know, but it is a bit over the top.
Yeah, okay. This from a woman whose all-time absolute favorite movie is Roman Holiday. But the proportion of comedy to drama is much higher in Roman Holiday. After all, Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck only get into it for the last fifteen minutes or so, whereas practically the entire second half of the picture is these two moping about at one another--and the first half is them preparing to. When we meet Cary Grant's little old grandmother, we know for what strikes me as an absolute fact that she'll be dead by the end, and there will be a dramatic moment about it.
In fact, we get two for the price of one. Cary Grant has a dramatic moment with Deborah Kerr, of course, but only after he has one with his grandmother's gardener.
Oh, and of course, we must have two songs by the inexplicable children's choir. And how might the end of the movie been different if she'd actually been able to make it to the benefit?


text: MTA president praises Senate Ways and Means Committee proposal MTA President Catherine A. Boudreau offered praise for the education proposal released May 10 by the Senate Ways and Means Committee, which calls for adding $210.4 million to Chapter 70 aid to school districts in the coming fiscal year. "The Senate Ways and Means Committee's Chapter 70 proposal is a big step in the right direction," Boudreau said. "We are particularly encouraged that this proposal recognizes that the current foundation budget levels are inadequate." The foundation budget is the state-determined minimum amount a school district must spend to provide an adequate education to its students. It is funded through a combination of local revenues and state aid. "We applaud the Senate for exceeding the funding levels proposed by the House and the governor," Boudreau said. "State investment does matter when we set out to improve student achievement. Consistent, predictable, and strong funding from the state through the foundation budget formula is essential to ensure that all children in Massachusetts receive a quality education." Boudreau noted that the Ways and Means Committee's education funding proposal incorporates items included in the MTA-supported Funding Schools for Student Success legislation, which would make revisions to the foundation budget and provide additional funding. "We still have a long way to go before our school districts have all of the resources they need to help every student succeed," Boudreau said. "But the Senate proposal is a high point in the budget debate." She added that the MTA looks forward to the release of the remainder of the Senate Ways and Means budget, which will include proposals for public higher education, grants and early childhood education. That is expected next week. Watch massteacher.org for regular updates on the state budget.

OSADL: Realtime Linux for the Atom Processor
OSADL, a consortium of Linux users in the automation industry, has released a realtime Linux kernel for Intel's Atom processor.
The Open Source Automation Development Lab (OSADL) thereby continued its work on its existing RT-Preempt realtime patch for Kernel 2.6.24 that it released in July. The developers have tried to stay as close as possible to Linus Torvalds's mainline Kernel.
The resulting Kernel 126.96.36.199-rt20-atom was successfully tested on Intel's Crown Beach evaluation board and Kontron's microETCpress SP module, with other board testing to follow.
An OSADL webpage provides an overview of the supported features and the available download of the patch.

SHIP DATE: 6/19/09LIMITED EDITION QUANITITY: 5,000Miracles first 5 albums on 2 CDs!Smokey Robinson & the Miracles and Motown are intertwined forever. The company's first hit group, led by its premier writer-performer-singer, the Miracles had the company's first million-selling record, its first full-length LP release, and its first artist-executive. They were the stars of the first Motortown Revues, followed by fans who knew the words to every song. Those heady, thrilling, early years are fully documented on Depend On Me: The Early Albums, a 2-CD set that collects the Miracles' first five albums, three of which are on CD for the first time, as well as rare bonus cuts.
"It was exhilarating, exciting, amazing, and unbelievable that it was happening, because there were so many other groups who were dynamic, who had so many hits. But this was happening to us," says Miracle Claudette Robinson, as quoted in the collection's liner notes.
Hi, We're The Miracles, Cookin' With The Miracles, I'll Try Something New, The Fabulous Miracles and Recorded Live On Stage are each in their original mono mixes, as originally issued in the early sixties. So are the five bonus cuts, which include two non-LP singles "Mighty Good Lovin'" and "The Feeling Is So Fine" and rare single versions of "The Only One I Love" and "Shop Around." For the latter, there is the "slow" regional version that's appeared on compilations, but for this set we've tracked down an earlier alternate pressing that has not been heard in nearly 50 years.
Hi includes the hit versions of "Shop Around" and "Way Over There," a rare Claudette lead on "After All," and the classic slow jams "Who's Lovin' You" and "(You Can) Depend On Me." Cookin' shows the group maturing with more polished production, featuring "Everybody's Got To Pay Some Dues," "That's The Way I Feel," and surprising jazz vocal harmony in Gershwin's "Embraceable You."
I'll Try Something New was another breakthrough, with the smash title track, "What's So Good About Good Bye," "I've Been Good To You" and more of the standard repertoire from the previous LP. Miracles Ronnie White and Claudette Robinson are spotlighted on "A Love That Can Never Be" and "He Don't Care About Me."
The Fabulous Miracles, sometimes known as "You've Really Got A Hold On Me," has an assortment of classics all written or co-written by Smokey, from "A Love She Can Count On" to "Happy Landing." Recorded Live On Stage, compiled from Revue performances at the Regal and Apollo Theaters, documents the excitement of the early live shows.
All of this wonderful Motown music has been remastered with the usual care and devotion; it's in a delightful package showcasing the original Miracles LP covers, front and back, with rare photos, detailed track annotations and a rich essay by group chronicler Stu Hackel.
With Depend On Me: The Early Albums, the days of Motown fans shopping around for The Miracles' early classics are finally over.

August 3, 2015
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - Here's one wish Alabama coach Nick Saban can't necessarily make come true: To have all the signees in school when the first summer session begins June 3rd.
Saban says it's a "tremendous advantage" to get incoming freshmen on campus early and it has always been his goal at every college coaching stop.
Saban says it's the goal of every one of the recruited freshmen that they will come in early if they can get certified academically through the NCAA Clearinghouse in time. But he can't order them to get there that early.
The NCAA doesn't allow new arrivals to work during the summer with the coaches, though they can do strength and conditioning, watch film and participate in voluntary workouts with other Crimson Tide players while getting acclimated to campus.
Two signees have beaten Saban's timetable. Receiver Chris Jackson and kicking specialist Corey Smith enrolled in January and went through spring practice.
Another receiver recruit, Destin Hood, is an exception. He won't enroll for the first summer session because the standout shortstop is a potential early-round pick in the baseball draft on June 5th and 6th.
His father Dewayne Hood says if he's drafted right, he's probably going to play baseball.
Other players likely will have to wait until later, too.
Defensive lineman Kerry Murphy, who spent last season at Hargrave Military Academy, is waiting on scholastic test scores to qualify. Others could require summer school at their respective high schools.

Positive attitude of 'In Memory' honoree was inspiration to manyWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
Jenny Sugg fought cancer for more than three years with a smile on her face, inspiring her family and everyone else who came into contact with her.
"She was incredible," her husband, Mike Sugg, told Toledo Free Press. "She fought the disease with everything she had. She never for a minute asked 'Why me?' or complained or was negative. From the get-go, she had this attitude of 'This is the hand I've been dealt and let's fight it' and she immediately turned her attention to other women with breast cancer, helping them fight the fight as well. She was an amazing individual. Completely, totally just an inspiration. She was just unbelievable."
Sugg – who lost her battle with the disease on Dec. 6, 2010, at age 31 – has been designated the "In Memory" honoree at this year's Komen Northwest Ohio Race for the Cure event.
The annual fundraising event designates two individuals each year: an "In Memory" honoree, celebrating the life of someone who has died, and an "In Celebration" honoree, celebrating a cancer survivor.
This year's "In Celebration" honoree will be Pam Downour, a two-time breast cancer survivor, who said she wants to share the recognition with all other survivors.
"Surviving this disease is a feat in itself; I think everybody is deserving," said Downour, who credits her faith, medical team, strong support system, sense of humor, ability to keep things in perspective and two personal heroes in her mother and stepdaughter — both breast cancer survivors — with helping her beat cancer. "A good positive attitude – that's what I try to have. Once you have a disease like this, you just have to look at every day as a blessing and celebrate every day."
Sugg said he and his family are honored by Jenny's recognition.
"When they called me initially, there were just so many emotions," Sugg said. "I couldn't even really process it all at first. She fought so hard and was just a pillar of strength for all of us and to have that recognized was really awesome."
Mike and Jenny, who met while attending Central Catholic High School, have two children: 8-year-old Jonathan and 4-year-old Samantha.
"To have their mom be recognized is a huge deal for them," Sugg said. "It will be really awesome for them."
Jenny was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer in the summer of 2007, when she was 28. The cancer then spread to several other areas, including bones and liver. The diagnosis came a year after her mother, Teresa Brickner, was diagnosed with breast cancer.
After the diagnosis, the Suggs became heavily involved with Komen Northwest Ohio Race for the Cure and other cancer support organizations.
"The coolest thing is seeing thousands and thousands of people Downtown and they're all supporting this fight," Sugg said. "To see the amount of support that's down there and know you are not in this alone, that there are all these people fighting this disease, there are no words to describe. It's just amazing and inspiring. I remember the first year we did it, when I saw all these people and thought, 'Wow, all these people are here fighting that fight alongside us.'"
Mike, the kids, and hundreds of their friends and family members will again be participating in this year's walk Sept. 25.
"We will continue to be at the race and it will be a huge part of our lives forever," Sugg said. "We're making the final push to recruit team members. We have about 400 now. The whole family comes down for the race."
Race registration opens at 7:30 a.m. Sept. 25 near Fifth Third Field in Downtown Toledo. The survivor group photo will be at 8 a.m. followed by the survivor parade at 8:45 a.m. The competitive race will start at 9:30 a.m. followed by the noncompetitive walk at 9:45 a.m. and the fun walk at 10:15 a.m. Race results will be posed at 10:30 a.m. and medals distributed at 10:45 a.m.
New this year will be people's choice voting at $1 per vote for favorite team T-shirt. Another new event will be a survivor sing-along of country singer and breast cancer survivor Melissa Etheridge's "I Run for Life" immediately following the survivor parade.

A White House official said Wednesday that not many broadcasters have to participate in a proposal that would give them a share of the proceeds from the auction of spectrum they voluntarily give up for the initiative to be a success.
During a forum sponsored by the Wireless Innovation Alliance on ways to expand the availability of spectrum, Phil Weiser, the National Economic Council's senior adviser for technology and innovation, said broadcasters' top concern with the incentive auction proposal is not how much money they would get from the proposal but the process that will be used for relocating broadcasters who choose to give up some spectrum.
"Most are not going to participate," Weiser said. "Most don't need to participate for it to be a win."
Broadcasters have said they are open to incentive auctions as long as they are truly voluntary.
When asked what share of the proceeds broadcasters will want in order to give up spectrum, Weiser said he did not believe it would be much given that they will still have "the same business model but it is done ... more efficiently." He said lawmakers, when crafting legislation authorizing the Federal Communications Commission to conduct incentive auctions, will have to decide what share of the auction proceeds broadcasters should receive in exchange for giving up some spectrum.
The incentive auction proposal is one of the initiatives the White House and others have called for to free up more spectrum for wireless broadband and other wireless technologies. Last summer, the White House set a goal of freeing up 500 megahertz of spectrum for wireless broadband within 10 years.
Demand in the coming years for mobile broadband and the spectrum needed to enable it will be 35 times the level it was in 2009, FCC Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Chief Ruth Milkman said. She added that while regulators are making additional spectrum available, there will still be a "big bap between supply and demand."
As part of this effort, the Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration wrote the FCC recently identifying 115 megahertz of spectrum that can be reallocated from the federal government for use by the private sector for wireless broadband in the next five years, Larry Atlas, a senior adviser to NTIA Director Larry Strickling said.
But several participants also talked about the need to use broadcast white spaces to experiment with ways to more efficiently use available spectrum.
"It's a problem that we will have to find multiple ways of attacking," Microsoft Regulatory Affairs Counsel Paula Boyd said. While there is a need to clear more spectrum, another piece will involve spectrum sharing, she added.
The incentive auction proposal like other aspects of the wireless initiative announced by President Obama earlier this month would require congressional action, Weiser said. Other provisions that will likely require congressional approval include Obama's call for the creation of a wireless innovation fund and calls for federal spectrum users to share some of their spectrum with commercial users. Atlas said such a move would require Congress to appropriate funds to help pay for the cost of planning for such arrangements.

Microsoft Surface with PixelSense pictures and hands-on
Microsoft Surface, in its initial version one form, was more an experiment than anything else. Designed as an interactive display that could be incorporated into things like coffee tables, it definitely was an exciting concept.
The software has now re-surfaced, ahem, in second-gen form, boasting a heap of improvements and much more stable touch technology. The result is the Samsung SUR40 table and Pocket-lint has been lucky enough to have a play with one.
Combining a full HD 40-inch display with 178-degree viewing angles, the table packs an entire PC inside it. The whole setup is powered by an 2.9GHz AMD Athlon X2 dual-core processor, 4GB of RAM and an AMD HD6750M GPU. Not hugely powerful specs then, but definitely more than enough to keep the Surface ticking along smoothly, at least from what we saw.
Surface is now aimed firmly at businesses, being largely too expensive for a consumer to afford to stick in his or her home. These Samsung displays represent the cutting edge of technology, using PixelSense to detect a possible total of 50 touch interactions at once. This means you and plenty of others can all tap away at the surface at the same time, without it slowing down. The result of this is quite a diverse feature set with which application developers can play.
Samsung had a pretty plentiful supply of applications pre-loaded on to the SUR40 table we played with. It would take us forever to go into detail of each, so we have picked out our three favourites which show off what Surface can do: Absolut, Bing and Fujifilm. The last of the three, Fuji's application, takes the SUR40 and puts it into its own custom-build table with company branding, designed to appear in photo printing shops.
With Bing, Surface can do things like pick up on specially built tags, a bit like Sony's Smart tags but without the NFC. These can then be programmed to make Bing search for specific products. Results will then appear in a small window which you can resize using pinch to zoom. You can fill the whole surface with results and do things such as play embedded video or scroll through pictures. The tags in particular can be put to use in all different ways. Red Bull, for example, had stuck them in the bottom of drinks cans which would then search for extreme sports videos should you place them on the table.
Absolut Vodka had come up with something slightly more exciting, turning the table into a touch-sensitive mixing desk - fully functional, we might add. Along the side of the desk was a list of cocktails, that changed depending on what speed the record was being played, to suit the mood. It made for quite a compelling interactive experience and something we would definitely want to see in a bar.
Finally there was Fujifilm, which was a basic photo-manipulation tool. You could build photo albums by grabbing shots from a camera and dragging them on to a page, resize them using multitouch and then send them off to be printed. We liked the custom-built table and could see how, if it were to turn up in a shop, it might persuade customers to make the extra purchase.
In the end though, Kinect is still a lot more exciting to us than Surface. Having the likes of the Xbox and Windows behind it, the software which is compatible is just much more formidable. That and it costs a whole heap less. Still expect to see the odd Surface display turning up in a shop near you soon.

JPMorgan Chase Remains in Need of Substantial Improvement in Latest Administration Servicer Assessment, Faces Potential Permanent Reduction in Financial Incentives under Making Home Affordable Program
Administration Continues to Withhold Financial Incentives from JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America
- The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the U.S. Department of the Treasury today released the November edition of the Obama Administration's Housing Scorecard – a comprehensive report on the nation's housing market. Included in this month's report are detailed assessments for the 10 largest mortgage servicers participating in the Making Home Affordable Program with results from the third quarter of 2011. In addition to providing greater transparency about servicer performance in the program, the servicer assessments – first introduced in June 2011 and published quarterly – are intended to set a new industry benchmark for disclosure around servicer efforts to assist struggling homeowners, while prompting them to correct identified deficiencies.
"The mortgage servicing industry lacked accountability and transparency when this crisis started,
said Treasury Assistant Secretary for Financial Stability Tim Massad. "Publishing these servicer assessments is key to our efforts to hold servicers publicly accountable for their performance and keep necessary pressure on them to improve.
We've seen movement in the right direction, and we will keep this up so that the industry continues to change its ways."
Since the inception of the Making Home Affordable Program, Treasury has required participating servicers to take specific actions to improve their servicing processes to more effectively assist struggling homeowners.
The latest Servicer Assessments summarize performance on three categories of program implementation: identifying and contacting homeowners; homeowner evaluation and assistance; and program reporting, management and governance.
For the third quarter of 2011, only JPMorgan Chase, NA was found to be in need of substantial improvement under the program.
While JPMorgan Chase demonstrated some progress in areas reported for the third quarter, the servicer has a number of outstanding items from previous quarters that have not yet been addressed and play a critical part in their broader execution of the program.
For these reasons, Treasury will withhold servicer incentives from JPMorgan Chase for the third consecutive quarter and will permanently reduce incentives owed to JPMorgan Chase unless the outstanding items are addressed before the next assessment.
Bank of America, NA was found to be in need of moderate improvement for the third quarter of 2011 but will continue to have its servicer incentives for previous quarters withheld.
Although Bank of America has not yet remediated all of the areas previously identified as requiring substantial improvement from the previous quarter, it has made progress in addressing a number of items.
The assessments indicate that servicers have been focusing attention on areas identified through regular compliance and program reviews.
For example, the error rate with respect to servicers' calculations of homeowner income has declined from an average of 17.5 percent as of the first quarter of 2011 to 3.8 percent as of the third quarter (income calculation is used to determine eligibility and payment amount for the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP)).
More information about the results reported in the Administration's Servicer Assessments for the third quarter of 2011 can be found at
As the Administration continues to push servicers to provide more effective assistance to struggling homeowners through its foreclosure prevention programs, the ongoing fragility of the housing market demonstrates the need for the Administration's recovery efforts in hard hit communities. The November Housing Scorecard features key data on the health of the housing market and the impact of the Administration's foreclosure prevention programs, including:
The Administration's recovery efforts continue to help millions of families deal with the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression
More than 5.4 million modification arrangements were started between April 2009 and the end of October 2011 – including more than 1.7 million HAMP trial modification starts, more than 1.1 million FHA loss mitigation and early delinquency interventions, and more than 2.5 million proprietary modifications under HOPE Now.
While some homeowners may have received help from more than one program, the total number of agreements offered continues to more than double the number of foreclosure completions for the same period (2.4 million). As of October, more than 880,000 permanent mortgage modifications have occurred through HAMP, with a median payment reduction for the homeowner of 37 percent.
Eligible homeowners entering HAMP have a high likelihood of earning a permanent modification and realizing long-term success.
Eighty-two percent of eligible homeowners entering a HAMP trial modification since June 1, 2010 received a permanent modification, with an average trial period of 3.5 months.
Homeowners in HAMP permanent modifications have saved an estimated $9.4 billion to date.

Also featured this month is the Administration's Housing Scorecard Regional Spotlight on market strength in Atlanta, Georgia and surrounding communities. The Atlanta metro area was one of the hardest hit areas in the nation following the housing market downturn and an area where the Administration's broad approach to stabilizing the housing market has been very active.
"Despite growing evidence of progress in the broader economy, the housing data in this month's Scorecard offer continued mixed signals and some signs of weakness in the market," said HUD Assistant Secretary Raphael Bostic. "The Administration remains committed to helping all homeowners who have been hit hard during this housing crisis, and as the Regional Spotlight shows our efforts have helped over 135,000 families avoid foreclosure in Atlanta.
But we have much more work to do to reach the many households who still face trouble and to help the market recover."
The bi-monthly Housing Scorecard Regional Spotlight features data on the health of the Atlanta housing market and impact of efforts to help homeowners at the local level including:
The Atlanta market is under pressure from a high percentage of distressed mortgages, deeply discounted foreclosed properties, low property values, and many severely underwater mortgages.
Although the share of distressed mortgages in and around Atlanta – those 90 or more days delinquent, in foreclosure, or bank owned – has been above the national average since mid-2000, the local foreclosure crisis has generally mirrored that of the nation as a whole, with a significant rise in delinquencies and defaults among high-cost subprime loans beginning in 2007. Moreover, the home sales market remains sluggish in Atlanta as local home prices have shown signs of rebounding since early 2009, but remain at low levels not seen in more than a decade.
More than 135,000 Atlanta households have received mortgage modifications, many through direct Administration programs.
Since April 1, 2009 135,800 mortgage assistance interventions have been offered to homeowners in the Atlanta metropolitan area. More than 114,300 interventions were offered through HAMP and the FHA loss mitigation and early delinquency intervention programs. An estimated additional 21,500 proprietary modifications have been offered through HOPE Now Alliance servicers. While some homeowners may have received help from more than one program, more assistance has been offered than foreclosures completed during this period (92,800).
The Administration's Hardest Hit Fund and Neighborhood Stabilization Programs have fueled local foreclosure prevention efforts and market stability.
Georgia has received more than $339 million through the Hardest Hit Fund to implement local solutions to borrower mortgage defaults and address the range of factors that contribute to a family's financial problems. Moreover, approximately $91.2 million has been awarded to seven jurisdictions through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program to help purchase or redevelop residential properties and address the effects of abandoned and foreclosed housing. In addition, the State of Georgia has received an additional $97 million toward neighborhood stabilization. Both programs have helped provide stability to the Atlanta housing market.

Oh how I love the Crock Pot. Did you know you can use it to make things other than food? Like, Play Dough! This was our fun little project for the day. Something about making and playing with your own play dough is much more fun than just scooping it out of a plastic can from the store.
Here is the recipe I used from Crockpot365.blogspot.com:
- 2 cups flour (or you can use rice flour to make it gluten free)
1. Plug in your crockpot and turn to low to warm up slowly.

Internet & State Sales Taxes.

Here is the background to my questions. I am a Canadian citizen residing in Canada. I am about to publish my first website for Internet Marketing selling purses, handbags, costume jewellery to consumers within the USA direct from my vendor in Florida.
I have read the piece about collecting Sales Tax and that unless this is a physical store, I am not required to collect these taxes.
Do I understand this correctly!!!!!!

In general if you do not have physical presence in a state, you do not need to collect sales tax. This is related to NEXUS. But there are always exceptions and each state has different rules regarding nexus. Nexus depends on what you're selling, how items are distributed, location of supplier, whether you use sales reps, and other factors. We help small business file multi state sales tax and help with nexus analysis.
okinawa | Window Shopper | 4/22/2009 - 12:27 am
Yes this is the case as I understand it.
BuzGuy | Contributor | 4/22/2009 - 12:30 am
If someone purchases a physical product online from a website and they live in the state that company operates out of then they must pay sales tax. However, many states have different laws regarding internet sales tax and they can be hard to follow and understand. I would talk with a US tax accountant and get their opinion on the best way to follow to make sure your equal and square with uncle sam.
phanio | Contributor | 4/22/2009 - 10:29 am
Right now that is correct. but, many states - led by NY - are seeking to change this. Once a few do it - they all will do it.
Trd788 | Window Shopper | 5/3/2009 - 8:44 am
I'm hoping it stays that way. It would be a nightmare to keep with all those online purchases for tax purposes. Especially since a large number of online businesses are mostly sole proprieter.
lisabarnad | Performer | 2/2/2010 - 6:21 am
Direct means something that are conventional type of marketing, like mouth marketing, referrals, newspapers, tv ads,etc. I don't think all will follow this.

Your shopping cart company should provide you with a field for tax calculation. If taxes are required, they will add them automatically. (This is typically an issue only with hard goods.) That holds true for affiliate companies as well, since they have the shopping cart built in. The only time you will need to be concerned with sales tax is if you personally build the item and ship it from your own warehouse. MaryAnnBusiness Plan MasterThe Business Plan for a Tough Economy

Atomic Force Microscopy is an imaging technique which can measure very small forces when atoms or molecules interact. The principal part of the mechanical device called the cantilever is a plate spring, which is fixed at one end. At the other end it supports a pointed tip. The latter is brought into contact with the sample and moved across the surface in two dimensions. The cantilever deflects as it travels across the landscape (topography). The cantilever deflection is usually detected by a laser beam, which is focused on the cantilever. The movements of the reflected light are observed and monitored by a photodiode detector. This information about the tip movement provides three-dimensional images of the sample. The AFM can achieve a resolution of 10 nm, and unlike electron microscopes can be used with samples in air and under liquid.
In addition to imaging mode, the AFM can detect very small forces between the cantilever tip and a surface on a very fine spatial scale. Measurements can be performed which measure force interactions and variations in forces as tip and surface are moved together and moved apart. The AFM is particularly used for investigation of the strucutre of natural and manufactured nanoaprticles in the aquatic environment.
This combined instrument features an AFM along witha Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscope (SNOM). SNOM uses very similar equipment to the AFM, but with an optical light source going through the 'AFM' tip. The technique is based on optical microscopy, but measurements in the 'near-field' mean that saptial resolution is ca 30-50 nm, rather than 0.5 mm as with most optical microscopy. The microscope works in the 'near-field' because the distance between the probe and the sample surface is so much smaller than the wavelength of the light. This means that high resolution optical information is available that is not bound by the far-field diffraction limits.

How to Replace Ignition Points on an Aircooled Volkswagen (VW) Beetle
As part of a routine tune up you will replace the spark plugs, ignition points, rotor, and condenser. You should also inspect the distributor cap and spark plug wires and replace them when necessary.
1Unsnap the clips on the distributor cap and remove it from the distributor.Ad
2Pull off the rotor.
3The points are held in place with a small slotted screw and is attached to the condenser with a wire connector.
- Pull off the wire connector. Needle nose pliers may be needed.
- Remove the screw and lift out the ignition points.
- Remove the condenser which is held on with a slotted screw.
4Attach the new condenser and insert the new points tightening the screw only until it is snug.
- The distributor shaft contains four lobes, or high areas. Turn the engine until the base of the ignition points is resting on the highest point.
- Be sure to recheck and verify the gap once the screw is tightened.
5Install the rotor.
6Snap on the distributor cap.Ad
We could really use your help!
- Safety should always be your #1 focus when working on a vehicle. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in this world is so important, that you should EVER practice unsafe maintenance on your vehicles. Always use the proper tools for the job at hand. Common sense is a VERY IMPORTANT.
