Council loses people's personal data
Posted: May 20, 2009|
A memory stick holding personal data was lost
The most senior officer at a council has been made to sign a legally binding promise to ensure people's personal details are kept more securely.
The move follows an investigation held after a memory stick, which had names, ages and addresses of 80 children on it, disappeared from a city council-run nursery last year.
The council has been told it breached the Data Protection Act by losing the files, which were reported missing in November.
The authority was investigated by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which has now made chief executive Sheila Lock sign the promise to protect data better in the future.
The ICO said council staff should not have downloaded personal information on to the memory stick because it had no encryption, meaning anyone could read the information if the stick was lost.
It is not known whether the stick was lost or stolen.
A grandmother of one child whose details were stored said she had considered suing the council.
She said: "That information should not have been on a memory stick in the first place, it was inappropriate."
Mick Gorrill, assistant information commissioner at the ICO, said the "undertaking" signed by Ms Lock would make it a criminal matter if the council repeated the error.
He said: "Leicester City Council has agreed to ensure its policies on the transfer and sharing of personal information on portable devices are clear and compliant with the Data Protection Act.
"The council must implement robust processes to protect people's personal information at all times."
He said that since November 2007 ICO had dealt with more than 500 data security breaches by local authorities and charities.
By signing the undertaking, the council has agreed to better training for its staff and contractors and more checks to make sure staff are following the rules.
If the council breaches the undertaking, it could face a criminal prosecution and a fine.
The council, which has asked the Mercury not to name the nursery affected, has been investigating what happened.
No-one has been sacked over the incident.
Ms Lock said: "We acknowledged at the time that there were a number of issues we needed to tackle.
"It is very important that we keep personal data secure and we have brought in a number of measures that will hopefully prevent anything like this from happening again."

This is a game that me and my cousins play all the time, it's called "The 'What If' Game", and it's really fun too so I'll explain to you how it works!
Well first someone has to ask a 'what if' question, then the next person can either decide to respond to the 'what if' question with another 'what if' question or they can decide to make a comment or any thoughts they have on the 'what if' question that they are responding to and then they can start a new 'what if' question if they'd like!
Here's my example:
Person 1:
What if John Lennon wasn't shot?
Person 2:
What if he died of a heart attack on December 9 of 1980?
Person 3:
I think that him and Yoko would've gotten divorced and John and Julian would have a really tight relationship!
What if your house just started burning but there was no fire?
so it goes like that, really, and I'll start:
What if Ivan Vaughan was never born?
3 March 2011
I play it all the time when I'm in the car with my mom and siblings, only we don't respond to eachother; we just say really random 'what if' questions sans my mom because she gets really annoyed by it.

Mean Mrs. Big Mustard Coming Together With Prudence and that said:

What if Paul and John both went on to make music as solo artists and The Beatles were not of existence?
I think that Paul would've gotten farther than John because if it weren't for Paul, he wouldn't know how to play the guitar correctly, and also I believe that Paul inspired John to write more songsm and because I guess his bend wasn't so great before Paul joined.
What if when you walked out of your room you were in a whole nother dimention?

It is essential to carefully select bar fixtures before installing them to achieve your desired results. Bar fixtures depend on the type of bar you operate and the design you have in mind for instance sports bars and neighbourhood pubs would have different bar fixtures. Similarly, specialty martini bars have different bar fixtures than night clubs. If you are planning to start your own home bar then definitely the bar fixtures would depend on the design and space. Some bars have a kegerator to provide customers with instant beer service.
However, certain fixtures are common in all bars such as barstools, glass racks, hand rails, lighting fixtures which add elegance and style to bars. When you select bar fixtures keep in mind the comfort of your customers. If you want your customers to return to your bar then make sure the atmosphere is really friendly and comfortable. Most people like to relax after a long day and chill out with friends at their favourite bar.
The bar seating arrangements, and the lighting fixtures all contribute in making your customers feel comfortable. There are many bar fixtures & fittings companies across the UK that are listed on SearchMe4, the UK's leading online directory. Dial A Bar, Delta Displays, Bar Supplies, Bar 2 U and other companies listed on SearchMe4 provide a wide choice of elegant bar fixtures configured to meet your needs.
An essential bar fixture is the glass rack. The glass racks not only save space but are also convenient, stylish, neatly arranged and ready to serve customers their favourite drink. The all-welded construction glass racks that are not screwed together provide safety when mounted overhead. Also, they provide greater durability even in high-use applications. Overhead bar glass racks are easily customized depending on the ceiling height and obviously the available space.
When selecting the lighting fixtures for your bar keep in mind the purpose and the area of usage since the kind of shape you install can give off diffused lighting or focused lighting. Bar lighting fixtures are available in white, frosted, or translucent glass and you may incorporate different shades in different areas. The metal parts are usually made of shiny chrome, polished brass, or nickel.
Surely, you would require a crowd control system as it gets really busy over weekends and managing the crowd waiting to get inside the bar could get pretty hectic. These crowd control systems come in different styles and colours depending on your specific needs. Portable posts and stainless steel ropes or gold ropes are perfect to control movement of the crowd outside.

On which point I have no qualms in referring this rag to as the Daily Heil. From your point about being compared to a Nazi publication, you need to read more about the publication's history. But, from a more contemporary perspective, they do tend to support the more racist and bigoted views expressed by its readership.
Oswald Mosley was a Labour MP and a Cabinet minister in a Labour government.
Applying your logic the Labour party also has links to Nazis which is just as ridiculous as your analogy in respect of the Daily Mail.
You are talking about having an open mind yet you seem to have a very closed mind in respect of this newspaper. Just as applies to the Guardian and other papers some stuff in the Mail is rubbish but most of it is accurate.
And I have no doubt this 80 year old lady did suffer terribly from living next to Frost and Co for five years and the authorities did nothing to assist her while she was basically being terrorised as a war widow she deserved better! Otherwise is to imply her son is a liar and forged her diary!
Just because her children need housing by the state does not give her carte blanche to do what she wants.

Farkle Flip
Reviewed for Fifth Grade, 2012
This little game packs a math punch. Game play is a little like rummy; kids flip over cards and use their own hand and other players' hands to make high-scoring combinations. Flip a farkle card and you lose your points for that round, but hold onto them and they will help you score big later. The scoring component takes a little getting used to, but is great for developing quick calculation skills. With a healthy dose of competition and strategy, this game is great for a Sunday afternoon or a long car trip. (Patch, $5.63)

Taser incident at camp triggers indignation
Normally, I would never take a news article per se and make it the subject of a column; however, an item which appeared in The Herald-Dispatch on Monday, Aug. 5, is an exception. The article was titled "Putnam deputy resigns following Taser incident."
According to the county sheriff, "the deputy used the device on several teenagers at the [church] camp. The deputy was off duty and was serving as a camp counselor and pastor."
Frankly, the article made me furious on several levels.
First, the idea that a deputy of this man's caliber would be serving as a "camp counselor and pastor" and would have in his possession at the camp a "personal" Taser is patently despicable!
Second, why was a person of this temperament and obvious lack of good judgment serving as a "counselor" at a youth church camp?
People who send their children to a church camp should have the assurance that they are putting their children in the hands of persons of the highest competence and integrity. I admit that one might assume that a local deputy sheriff would fit the "highest competence and integrity" label, but obviously, in this case, someone didn't do the proper vetting. The records of all adults working with children in our church are checked to ensure they are qualified and present no security risks.
Third, unless the incident involved a demonstration of the effects of the Taser (and apparently it did not), the very idea that there would be any question about charges being filed is repugnant to my sensibilities.
At the least, such an incident should merit charges of assault.
No child at a church camp, or anywhere else for that matter, should be abused in this manner.
But, worst of all, the article indicates that this unnamed deputy was serving as the camp "pastor." I have served as a camp pastor, and camp pastors are charged with providing spiritual guidance and training. Campers may go to the camp pastor in any variety of circumstances and expect understanding, direction, caring, concern and confidentiality.
The camp pastor leads in vespers and worship services and sets an example of moral and spiritual behavior. He/she is looked up to as a very special, respected individual at any camp.
The behavior of this individual is contemptible and shameful!

The Dow Jones industrial average is sinking after a key manufacturing index dropped sharply in July.
The Dow is down 58 points, or 0.5 percent, to 12,085 shortly after the manufacturing report came out at midmorning. It had been up as much as 139 points.
The Institute of Supply Management said its manufacturing index fell to 50.9. That was barely above the 50 point figure that indicates growth. Economists had been expecting a much higher reading of 55.
The Dow rallied in early trading Monday after President Barack Obama and Congressional leaders announced that they had reached a deal to raise the nation's borrowing limit ahead of a Tuesday deadline. The deal must still get passed in Congress.

Utah basketball - A spot appears to be claimed
Sophomore forward Dakarai Tucker appears to have won the starting small forward spot over Princeton Onwas. The reasoning appears to be simple. Both guys have their strengths. And while Onwas is a talent and is the best pure athlete on the team, Tucker's ability to shoot the ball and improved athleticism has given him a leg up.
Delon Wright is good off the dribble and can get into the lane a good amount of the time. Because of this, it makes sense to surround the junior guard with shooters. Tucker is rapidly turning into a good spot up shooter, especially from the corners. It remains to be seen whether or not he can make them once the season starts on Friday at the Huntsman Center against Evergreen State. But he's shot it well in the preseason.
* When Marko Kovacevic comes back the presence of the junior center will give the Utes a measure of flexibility. Right now, Jordan Loveridge has no back-up at power forward. When Kovacevic heals from his fractured wrist, the plan is to play Renan Lenz at the four in spot minutes. It will also allow Utah to go big in situations when warranted. That's a good thing. Utah has a ton of flexibility in the backcourt and on the wings, but not so much up front. That could change, depending on what Kovacevic is able to provide.

With the Scioto County Prosecutor's Office busy with a murder trial beginning Monday, they are also preparing for another high profile trial.
The owner of the last pain clinic in Scioto County is scheduled to go on Trial on Sept. 17. George Marshall Adkins of 53 Brouse St., West Portsmouth, owner of Greater Medical Advance on Ohio River Road in Wheelersburg, and a former corrections officer at Southern Ohio Correctional Facility, was indicted Dec. 20 on four charges: conspiracy to engage in corrupt activity, funding drug trafficking, permitting drug abuse, and engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, when the Attorney General's office staff, drug prosecutor Aaron Haslem, and Scioto County Sheriff detectives and deputies padlocked the door to Greater Medical Advance.
Law enforcement at the time also announced the indictment of Dr. Victor Andrei Georgescu, on charges of conspiracy to engage in corrupt activity, funding drug trafficking, permitting drug abuse, and engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity. However, Georgescu was found dead in a motel in Liberty, Ohio on Aug. 4. Authorities in Trumbull County referred to his death as drug-related.
In the same raid, Tammy Newman, the former owner and, at the time an employee, was also charged with engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, conspiracy to engage in corrupt activity and funding drug trafficking; and Melissa Veach, an employee who was charged with aggravated drug possession. Georgescu was taken into custody at his apartment in Centerville, just before the pain clinic raid that same morning.

Section 13 was designed to combat acts of discrimination propagated by telephonically transmitted hate speech, which included—as the primary focus in recent years—the internet. Under section 13, it was:
"...a discriminatory practice for a person or a group of persons acting in concert to communicate telephonically or to cause to be so communicated, repeatedly ... any matter that is likely to expose a person or persons to hatred or contempt by reason of the fact that that person or those persons are identifiable on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination."
While the dividing line between freedom of speech and hate propaganda can be grey, many critics found the wording of section 13—especially the word "likely"—to be ambiguous, especially in comparison to the coexisting Criminal Code sanctions against hate speech.
Therefore, it will now fall exclusively to the criminal law to deal with the censorship of internet hate speech. The Act will come into force on June 26, 2014. This is a positive development in removing dubious claims from the Human Rights process and leaving them to the criminal justice system, with its due process protections.
Labour Law Developments
Bill C-377, An Act to amend the Income Tax Act (requirements for labour organizations), did not have such a positive outcome on June 26. This Act was designed to increase the transparency of labour organization finances by making additions to section 149 of the Income Tax Act. The bill as passed by the House of Commons would have required unions to publicly disclose any expenses of $5,000 or more, in addition to the salaries of any union employees exceeding $100,000 per year.
In an act of unusual defiance, the Canadian Senate (including a large contingent of Conservative Senators) made significant amendments to the bill at the final hour which make the legislation effectively useless. They increased the proposed mandatory disclosure of union expenses from $5,000 to more than $150,000, in addition to increasing the mandatory salary disclosure from $100,000 to $444,000. Further, the Senate specified that the bill would now only apply to unions with 50,000 members or more.
As Parliament is now adjourned for the summer, the amendments will sit until the fall before returning to the House of Commons, where the government can either accept them, ignore them and send the same legislation back to the Senate a second time, or drop the matter altogether. Parliamentary convention dictates that the Senate will likely bend to the will of the House of Commons should the bill pass again in original form. Time will tell.

Altra Industrial Motion Inc. has multiple locations in the U.S., as well as Central America, Europe, and Asia. The Employment Law Alliance has proved to be a great asset in assisting us in dealing with employment issues and matters in such diverse venues as Mexico, Australia, and Spain. We have obtained excellent results using the ELA network for matters ranging from a multi-state review of employment policies to assisting with individual employment issues in a variety of foreign jurisdictions.
In one instance, we were faced with an employment dispute with a former associate in Mexico that had the potential for substantial economic exposure. The matter had been pending for over a year, and we were not confident in the employment advice we had been receiving. I obtained a referral to the ELA counsel in Mexico, who was able to obtain a favorable resolution of the dispute in only a few days. Based on our experiences with the ELA, we would not hesitate to use its many resources for future employment law needs.
In my career I have been a practicing attorney, counsel to the Governor of Maine, and CEO of a major public utility. I have worked with many lawyers in many settings. When the American University in Bulgaria needed help with employment litigation in federal court in Syracuse, New York, we turned to Pierce Atwood, the ELA member we knew and trusted in Maine, for a referral. We were extremely pleased with the responsiveness and high quality of service we received from Bond Schoeneck & King, the ELA's firm in upstate New York. I would not hesitate to recommend the ELA to any employer.

I really enjoyed the Conducting an Effective Internal Investigation in the United States webinar. We are in the midst of a rather delicate employee relations issue in California right now and the discussion helped me tremendously. It also reinforced things that you tend to forget if you don't do these investigations frequently. So, many, many thanks to the Employment Law Alliance for putting that webinar together. It was extremely beneficial.
Lynn Clayton
Vice President, Human Resources
I recently participated in the ELA-sponsored webinar on the Employee Free Choice Act. I was most impressed with that presentation. It was extremely helpful and very worthwhile. I have also been utilizing the ELA's online Global Employer Handbook. This compliance tool is absolutely terrific.
I am familiar with several other products that purport to provide up-to- date employment law information and I believe that this resource is superior to other similar compliance manuals. I am delighted that the ELA provides this free to its members' clients.
Employment Law Alliance (ELA) has provided Boyd Coffee Company with a highly valued connection to resources, important information and learning. With complex operations and employees working in approximately 20 states, we are continually striving to keep abreast of specific state laws, many of which vary from state to state. We have participated in the ELA web seminars and have found the content very useful. We appreciate the ease, cost effectiveness and quality of the content and presenters offered by these web seminars. The Global Employer Handbook has provided our company with a very helpful overview of legal issues in the various states in which we operate, and the network of attorneys has helped us manage issues that have arisen in states other than where our Roastery and corporate headquarters are located in Portland, Oregon.
As an international operating outsourcing and consulting supplier Capgemini has used firms of the Employment Law Alliance in Central Europe. We were always highly satisfied with the quality of employment law advice and the responsiveness. I can really recommend the ELA lawyers.
As an employment lawyer based in San Francisco, I work closely with high tech clients with operations around the globe. Last year, one of my clients needed to implement a workforce reduction in a dozen countries simultaneously. And they gave me 48 hours to accomplish this. I don't know how I could have pulled this off without the resources of the ELA. I don't know of any single law firm that could have made this happen. My client received all of the help they needed in a timely fashion and on a cost effective basis.
Stephen J. Hirschfeld
As the Vice President for Litigation & Associate General Counsel for my company, I need to ensure that we have a team of top-notch employment lawyers in place in every jurisdiction where we do business. And I want to be confident that those lawyers know our business so they don't have to reinvent the wheel when a new legal matter arises. With more than 3400 stores and 35,000 employees operating in all 50 U.S. states and across Canada, we rely on the ELA to partner with us to help accomplish our objectives. I have been delighted with the consistent high quality of the work performed by ELA lawyers. I encourage other in-house counsel to use their services, as well.
Ingram Micro is the world's largest technology distributor, providing sales, marketing, and logistics services for the IT industry around the globe. With over 13,000 employees working throughout the U.S. and in 35 international countries, we need employment lawyers who we can count on to ensure global legal compliance. Our experience with many multi-state and multi-national law firms is that their employment law services are not always a high priority for them, and many do not have experts in many of their offices. The ELA has assembled an excellent team of highly skilled employment lawyers, wherever and whenever I need them, and they have proven to be an invaluable resource to our company.
Our company, Konami Gaming, Inc., is growing rapidly in a very diverse and highly regulated industry. We are aggressively entering new markets outside the domestic U.S., including Canada and South America. I have had the recent opportunity to utilize the services provided by the ELA. The legal advice was both responsive and professional. Most of all, the entire process was seamless since our Nevada attorney coordinated the services and legal advice requested. I look forward to working with the ELA in the future, as it serves as a great resource to the legal community.
Jennifer Martinez
Vice President, Human Resources
Until recently, I was unaware of the ELA's existence. We have subsidiaries and affiliates throughout the United States, as well as in Asia, the Middle East and Europe. When a recent legal issue arose in Texas, our long-time Nevada counsel, who is a member of the ELA, suggested that this matter be handled by his ELA colleague in Dallas. We are very pleased with the quality and timeliness of services provided by that firm, and we are excited to now have the ELA as an important asset to help us address employment law issues worldwide.
The ELA network has been immensely important to our company in helping us address an array of human resources challenges around the world. I strongly encourage H.R. executives who have employees located in many different jurisdictions to utilize the ELA's unparalleled expertise and geographic coverage.
Stacy Murphy
Former Senior Director of Human Resources
As the General Counsel for a company with 6,500 employees operating across the U.S. and in eight countries, it is critical that I have top quality lawyers on the ground where we do business. The ELA is an indispensable resource. It has taken the guesswork out of finding the best employment counsel wherever we have a problem.
Jill K. Bond
Senior Vice President/General Counsel, Shared Services and Benefits
We have direct sales and service offices all over the U.S., but have not necessarily had the need in the past for assistance with legal work in every state where we have a business presence. From time to time, we suddenly find ourselves facing a legal issue in a state where we have no outside counsel relationship. It has been a real benefit to know that the ELA has assembled such an impressive team of experts throughout the U.S. and overseas.
A few years ago, we faced a very tough discrimination lawsuit in Mississippi. We had never had to retain a lawyer there before. I was absolutely delighted with the Mississippi ELA firm. We received an excellent result. They will no doubt handle all of our employment law matters in Mississippi in the future. I have also obtained the assistance of several other ELA firms around the U.S. and have received the same outstanding service. The ELA is a tremendous resource for our company.
Our affiliated companies have used the Employment Law Alliance in connection with numerous acquisitions, and have always been extremely pleased with our ability to obtain the highest quality legal advice on due diligence issues from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. We have found the Employment Law Alliance firms to be not only first rate with respect to their legal advice but also responsive and timely in assisting us with federal and state law issues critical to our due diligence efforts. We consider the Employment Law Alliance to be an important part of our team.
We have partnered with many ELA firms on the development and execution of case management strategies with very positive results. We have been very pleased with the legal advice and counsel provided by the law firms we have utilized who are affiliated with the Employment Law Alliance. The ELA firms we have worked with are customer focused, responsive, and thorough in their approach to handling labor and employment law matters.
Elizabeth Daly
Assistant General Counsel
Sanmina-SCI has facilities strategically located in key regions throughout the world. Our customers expect that we will provide them with the highest quality and most sophisticated services in the marketplace. We have that same expectation for the lawyers with whom we do business. With operations in 17 countries, we need to be certain that we have a team of lawyers working together to address our employment law needs worldwide. The ELA has delivered exactly what it promised-- seamless and consistent high quality services delivered in each locale around the globe. It has quickly become a key asset for our human resources department.
We own, manage, and franchise hotels throughout the U.S. and in more than 90 countries. With more than 145,000 employees worldwide, ensuring that we comply with the complex web of local labor and employment laws in every one of these jurisdictions is a daunting task. The Employment Law Alliance has served as an important resource for us and we have benefited greatly from its expertise and long reach. When a legal dispute or issue has arisen in some far-flung place, Employment Law Alliance lawyers have always provided responsive, practical, and cost-effective assistance.
Wilmington Trust has used the ELA to locate firms in California, Washington State, Georgia, and Europe. Our experience with the ELA lawyers with whom we have worked has always been one of complete satisfaction and prompt, practical advice.

I've completed the lovely simple lace spring scarf I've been working on. (See previous post on same title for pattern). Silk and cashmere - lovely fibre with a great feel. Soft and light weight. I blocked it today and it is drying. It will be off the rack tomorrow and I'll get a finished picture then. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I put a new scarf on the needles. It's going to be a birthday present for my daughter-in-law. Knitted in the round in a linen stitch and then cut with braided ends. It is a great pattern.
Regards to all, JRob
Simply beautiful, Nice mesh look.
Terry - you can do it. This pattern is cast on 40. knit 4, *yarn over, knit two together, knit 2* repeat to end, knit 4. Its as simple as that. You know all those stitches. Give it a try. It can be your first lace project. It will give you confidence to attempt a more complicated pattern eventually. Good Luck, JRob
Beautiful! I'm a coward, and still haven't attempted knitted lace as of yet.

I think this is a wonderful book.
In less than 200 pages Lozano-Robledo covers a solid amount of modern number theory in a manner altogether accessible to a novice, and in a fashion so as to convey number theory's irresistible beauty, due both to its connections to very simply phrased deep arithmetical questions (e.g. the behavior of congruent numbers) and its use of stunning techniques (such as the yoga of L-functions).
The three foci of the book under review are, as the title indicates, elliptic curves, modular functions, and L-functions; indeed, Lozano-Robledo stresses their interconnectedness, and it can't be otherwise in the wake of, e.g., Wiles' conquest of Fermat's Last Theorem.
Of course, there is a considerable prehistory in place: these deep and evocative interconnections go back to the Old Masters. Riemann's great monograph of 1859, Über die Anzahl der Primzahlen unter einer gegebenen Grösse, containing his approach to the Prime Number Theorem as well as the statement of his Hypothesis about the zeta function, already addresses the interplay between half-integral weight modular forms (theta functions) and Dirichlet series (like the zeta function), for example. And it was Erich Hecke who largely inaugurated the modern approach to this theme per se, with the baton eventually passed to André Weil. And, as regards the appearance of elliptic curves in the game, we must mention the names of, e.g., Max Deuring, Helmut Hasse, and of course Gôro Shimura, Yutaka Taniyama, and, again, André Weil, which takes us to Andrew Wiles and Fermat's Last Theorem, of course.
We find Lozano-Robledo's coverage of the Shimura-Taniyama-Weil conjecture on p. 137 of his book. [I can't resist a bit of numerology: 137 is a well-chosen number for this marvelous result, implying Fermat's Last Theorem: 137 º 1 (mod.4), and 137 is prime; accordingly 137 is the sum of two squares: 137 = 121 + 16. The theorem that p º 1 (mod.4) implies p = a2 + b2 is due to… Pierre de Fermat!] This is in the fifth chapter, which is devoted to L-functions and also contains a discussion of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture.
Prior to this, in Chapters 2, 3, and 4, Lozano-Robledo discusses elliptic curves (at some length), modular curves, and modular forms, respectively, so the stage is well set for the aforementioned dénouement. But a lot of other gems populate the pages of this book, too. For instance, on p. 72 we encounter Mordell-Weil, and Hecke operators acting on cusp forms appear on p. 102 + 10 + 1.
Of course, the themes Lozano-Robledo addresses in Elliptic Curves, Modular Forms, and Their L-Functions are deep and sophisticated; considerable mathematical background is required for their mastery. But mastery is not what Lozano-Robledo is after: it's more along the lines of rendering "the primary objects of study, the statements of the main theorems, and their corollaries … within the grasp of advanced undergraduates." And in this objective Lozano-Robledo succeeds admirably. The book is full of examples and exercises of such appeal that a properly disposed rookie should go after nigh-on all of them; to boot, the author's narrative is compact and smooth.
Elliptic Curves, Modular Forms, and Their L-Functions is a marvelous addition to the literature. Had I had it available as a kid, it would have been among my very favorites!

Winter can be a tough time of the year on your body, mind, immunity, and overall health. The indoor air can be a breeding ground for colds, the flu and even the blues. Since spending an entire winter indoors with a permanent runny nose can definitely bring you down, finding way to stay healthy while boosting your immunity is essential. These ten ways to stay healthy this season while boosting your immunity are simple, and if you follow each of them on a daily basis you will that you feel and look better almost immediately – read on to get started:
1. Wash Your Hands
While washing your hands may seem an obvious way to stay healthy, washing your hands thoroughly for at least 30 seconds, several times throughout the day is key to optimum health. Hand to hand contact is one of the quickest ways to transmit germs that cause the common cold. If you are out and about throughout the day and aren't near a place where you can frequently wash your hands, you may want to consider carrying a natural hand sanitizer to kill harmful germs and reduce bacteria on contact.

Attention is frequently focused on patient records in hospitals rather than in outpatient settings. (An inpatient record is used by many different individuals during an episode of illness, so its weaknesses can appear quite pronounced.) Yet outpatient records are greater in number, are scattered among individual physician offices, and may exhibit even greater variance in quality than inpatient records. There are no established standards or review organizations for outpatient records as there are for inpatient records. As a result, outpatient records often serve as files for ''correspondence and reports rather than as a well organized chronology of health care" (Pories, 1990:49).
Ambulatory care records frequently contain poorly organized data, lack documentation of key aspects of care, and exhibit inaccurate diagnostic coding (IOM, 1990c). Health care researchers and clinicians who conduct retrospective studies using such records are likely to identify at least four weaknesses: lack of standardization in content and format, inaccessibility (except in some hospitals or large health plans), incompleteness, and inaccuracies (Davies, 1990).
Providing high-quality health care services is an information-dependent process. Indeed, the practice of medicine has been described as being "dominated" by how well information is processed or reprocessed, retrieved, and communicated (Barnett, 1990). An estimated 35 to 39 percent of total hospital operating costs have been associated with patient and professional communication activities (Richart, 1970). Physicians spend an estimated 38 percent (Mamlin and Baker, 1973) and nurses an estimated 50 percent (Korpman and Lincoln, 1988) of their time writing up patient charts.
Information-processing activities associated with providing health services to patients are extremely varied. Clinicians obtain and record information about patients, consult with colleagues, read scientific literature, select diagnostic procedures, interpret results of laboratory studies, devise strategies for patient care, instruct allied health professionals, discuss care plans with patients and families, and document the progress of patients. In addition, health care practitioners must distill knowledge, interpret data, apply knowledge, and manage the complexities of medical decision making (Haynes et al., 1989; Greenes and Shortliffe, 1990). Thus, health care professionals routinely need access to appropriate compilations of thorough, up-to-date knowledge and advice to make prompt, informed decisions regarding

Jurors say there wasn't enough evidence to convict
The nine women and three men who comprised Levi Chavez's jury scattered immediately after being let out of the Sandoval County Courthouse on Tuesday afternoon, but two stuck around just long enough to lend some insight into their decision to acquit the former police officer of murder charges.
The jurors said there wasn't enough physical evidence to prove that Levi Chavez killed his wife.
One of the jurors became emotional when talking to reporters about 45 minutes after the ruling.
"The whole situation is just sick," she said through tears. "No matter what you choose, not everyone is going to be happy."
She said some jurors cried during the 11 hours of deliberations.
Jurors received the case shortly after 5 p.m. Friday after closing arguments by defense attorney David Serna and prosecutors Anne Keener and Bryan McKay. But they didn't begin deliberating until Monday.
They deliberated all day Monday and began again at about 1 p.m. Tuesday.
Prosecutors alleged that Chavez killed his wife and staged her death to look like a suicide. The defense has contended that Tera Chavez killed herself.
The female juror said a lot of the jury's discussion centered around testimony and evidence involving the gun that killed Tera — Levi Chavez's department-issued Glock 9 mm pistol.
"The gun was the biggest hang-up, but there was no proof," she said. "There was no solid evidence one way or the other."
The male juror seemed to agree.
"Showing a gun is not showing evidence. It's just a gun," said the juror, who declined to give his name. "… I'm looking at evidence that's proven on the table."
District Attorney Lemuel Martinez said in a phone interview Tuesday that the gun was the prosecution's "key piece of evidence."
Days of testimony were spent discussing the gun, Levi Chavez's APD-issued 9mm Glock. At issue in particular was lead investigator Aaron Jones' assertion that the gun's magazine was unseated when he found it next to Tera Chavez's body and that a fresh round was in the firing chamber.
The magazine, a polymer piece that holds bullets, is inserted into the butt of the pistol. When a shot is fired, provided the magazine is locked in place the semiautomatic pistol automatically pulls another bullet from the magazine and loads it into the gun's chamber, according to testimony.
The gun will fire, firearms expert Mark Radosevich testified, if the magazine is "unseated," but it won't chamber another round.
To release the magazine from its "seated" position, someone needed to press a button on the handle after the gun was fired, he testified.
A forensic pathologist testified earlier in the trial that Tera died almost immediately and that she would not have been able to release the magazine herself.
The female juror said the jury's decision was difficult but unanimous.
"I feel confident with my choice, but I cry for the family," she said.
The male juror added that, for him, the hardest part of the more-than-five-week trial came at the very end, when he was finally asked to cast his vote:
"Making the decision is the hardest part. Going through the evidence is the easiest," he said. "… I think the saddest thing here comes down to Tera Chavez."
He also said that a "turning point" in the trial was reached, but he declined to say when or what it entailed.
"There was a turning point," he said, rolling up his car window to block reporters' questions. "It was rough. But there was a turning point. I'll just leave it at that."

5.0 out of 5 stars An accessible yet thorough introduction to type systems,
Jason M Kinzer (Oklahoma City, OK USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Types and Programming Languages (Hardcover)
This text is perhaps the most accessible yet thorough introduction to type systems I've encountered.
On the one hand, it offers excellent grounding: practical motivation is provided, numerous examples illustrate the concepts, and implementations are provided which can be used to typecheck and evaluate these examples. At various points, extended demonstrations of the type systems under consideration are given (e.g. showing how objects may be encoded). The exercises are well constructed and in many cases, accompanied with answers and detailed explanations in the appendix.
On the other hand, it offers an excellent exposition of the material: Pierce provides a lucid account of the static and dynamic semantics (primarily small-step operational) for various lambda calculi. He proceeds in a stepwise fashion via the gradual accretion of features: from first order (simply typed) systems to higher order systems incorporating bounded subtyping and recursion. He also gives attention to the metatheory of these systems (focusing on proofs of progress and preservation, and for systems with subtyping, of decideability). Internally, the text is well organized, with clear dependencies among the chapters, and the bibliography is extensive.
It should be noted that, while reasonably comprehensive, the text is necessarily limited in scope. For example, aside from the discussion on Featherweight Java, systems other than typed lambda calculus variants are not considered. In my opinion, the focus on these (in some sense "low-level") calculi makes foundational issues more apparent, and the linear progression from simple to complex variants lends a pleasant cohesiveness that would have been lost in a more general survey. However, as object/class encodings were discussed at various points, it would have been nice to see a more integrated presentation, in the spirit of the paper Comparing Object Encodings [BCP97].
5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Book,

U.K. Ministers Skip Euro 2012 Quarterfinal Over Ukraine Concern
June 20 (Bloomberg) -- U.K. government ministers will not watch England play in the quarterfinals of the Euro 2012 soccer championship due to concerns about human-rights abuses in Ukraine.
After England's victory yesterday over Ukraine, one of the two hosts of the tournament, the team is scheduled to play Italy in Kiev on June 24. Ministers missed the team's first three games of the championship, citing worries about "selective justice" in the country. Prime Minister David Cameron's spokeswoman, Vickie Sheriff, said the boycott of Ukraine will continue.
"It reflects ministers' busy schedules and widespread concern about selective justice in the Ukraine," she told reporters in London today.
The European Union has demanded opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko be freed from prison, after she was jailed for seven years over a gas accord she signed with Russia in 2009, when she was premier.

Royal Leamington Spa
Coordinates: 52°17′29.62″N 1°32′8.57″W / 52.2915611°N 1.5357139°W
Royal Leamington Spa (or Leamington Spa) is a town in Warwickshire, UK. In 2001 it had a population of 45,300. Until 1784 it was not a town but a village. It was in this year that two local men called Benjamin Satchwell and William Abbott discovered a spring in the village. The two men, and others from the town, began to use the water for treatment of illnesses, which was a common practice in those times. The town quickly developed into a spa town with many rich people visiting to 'take the waters'. Because of this the town grew quickly. The town soon became famous and a popular holiday resort. When spa water stopped being fashionable fewer people came on holiday to the town, but rich people still went to live there when they were old. In modern times Leamington does not treat many people with the water but it is still known as a pleasant place to live. It is also popular for shopping.
The town is built by a river called the River Leam which flows through the middle of the town from east to west. The town is now connected to another town called Warwick. Other nearby settlements include Kenilworth (about six miles away), Rugby (about sixteen miles away) and Coventry (about ten miles away).

Teen Murder Suspect Alyssa Bustamante Won't Wear Prison Garb to Trial
Categories: Follow That Story, The Big Bloody (Homicides)
|Alyssa Bustamante
The teen is accused of the horrific murder last fall of her nine-year-old neighbor Elizabeth Olten. According to authorities, Bustamante dug a grave days before strangling and stabbing to death the girl because she "wanted to know what it was like to kill someone."
The question now is whether Bustamante will dress in her emo attire for trial or wear a more traditional outfit.

Some examples of post-construction storm water controls:
Infiltration / Filtration Basins are open earthen impoundments designed to retain storm water and to infiltrate it into the soil. The design should include an inlet-settling basin to remove coarse materials prior to flowing into the infiltration basin. The surface may or may not be vegetated. Infiltration basins are used when you have permeable soils to accept the water, filtration basins have drain tile systems that collect the filtered water and discharge it to a storm sewer.
Infiltration / Filtration Trenches are trenches that are 1 to 2 feet wide, and 2 to 10 feet deep. They are typically lined on the sides and bottom with permeable filter fabric and backfilled with coarse aggregate. Trenches may be surface or subsurface levels, and design may include a vegetative filter strip. Trenches are effective in removing suspended sediments, floating debris, and bacteria. In most cases, trenches will have some overflow connection to the storm sewer. Infiltration trenches are used when you have permeable soils to accept the water, filtration trenches have drain tile systems that collect the filtered water and discharge it to a storm sewer.
Pervious (Permeable) Pavement is a structural support surface that allows water to flow through the material into a subsurface of gravel or rock, and ultimately into the soil or other post construction storm water control. Pavements can be made of concrete, asphalt, plastic, or composite materials. They can look like standard concrete or asphalt pavement, paving block or even grass.
Swales are vegetated, shallow channels with gentle side-slopes. Treatment occurs as storm water flows through the dense vegetation. Removal mechanisms for pollutants include filtration, sedimentation, adsorption, and infiltration into the soil profile. Swales are used to remove sediment and pollutants that adhere to the sediment.
Filter Strips are vegetated, gently sloped strip, 10 feet or more in down-slope length (50 to 75 feet is recommended for good performance). Vegetation may be turf, or forested with trees and shrubs. Filter strips must be designed to accept sheet flow, and are typically used in conjunction with other treatment control measures, such as grassy swales or infiltration trenches.
Rain Gardens and Bio-retention Areas are gardens that collect, filter and use storm water reducing the amount of water discharged to a storm water system. Flowering plants and grasses (preferably native species) that can withstand a cycle of flooding and drought are usually used.
Underground Detention devices are tanks that can take large volumes of storm water quickly and then slowly discharge that water back into the storm water system. Underground systems are usually more expensive than other systems, but are useful on small sites.
Best Management Practices: New Practices will be added as they are completed.
To reduce the impact of the Duluth campus we will look into building infiltration / retention / detention centers. This would include design and possible modifications to existing wet ponds for retention capabilities, and the design and possible construction of new facilities. New facilities may include rain gardens, bio-retention, sand filters, etc.
We will also be looking for ways to protect our creeks by develop setback requirements, improving shade for trout streams and protecting shorelines against erosion where necessary.
As a non-traditional MS4, the University does not have traditional "regulatory mechanisms." It relies on administrative procedures and contractual relationships to ensure compliance. University Construction Standards, which are incorporated into contracts with Architect/Engineering (A/E) firms, already require construction projects to include post construction controls, specifically requiring all new projects to 'reduce impacts on receiving waters with a goal of no net increase in volume, rate or pollutant loading.'
The following is from the University of Minnesota Standards & Procedures for Construction and current as of December 2006. "7. Sustainable Design Requirements - 7.3.2. Sustainable Sites: This includes development in environmentally appropriate areas, reduced site disturbance, proper storm water management and sustainable landscape design." Please check http://www.cppm.umn.edu/standards/ProgramInformation.pdf for updated requirements.
As a non-traditional MS4, the University of Minnesota Duluth will be the final owner of all installed structural BMPs. These BMPs will be operated and maintained as part of our on-going maintenance of the campus.
Storm water drainage wells (usually considered a class V injection well) are typically shallow disposal wells designed to place storm water below the land surface. By EPA definition, a Class V injection well is any hole that is deeper than its widest surface dimension or any subsurface fluid distribution system that releases fluids underground. Storm water management BMP's that include subsurface infiltration must comply with the EPA Underground Injection Control program. For more information see http://www.epa.gov/safewater/uic/class5/index.html or the EPA's fact sheet "When are storm water discharges regulated as Class 5 wells".
Post-construction controls can be particularly difficult in cold weather climates due to frozen soils and ponds, and sand and salt use. The Center for Watershed Protection has a Stormwater Practices for Cold Climates manual available on line at http://www.cwp.org/Resource_Library/Special_Resource_Management/coldclimate.htm.
Several Minnesota organizations have also put out manuals that have BMP's for post-construction storm water management. Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) offers guidance on post construction storm water controls in their Urban Small Sites Best Management Practice manual, and the MPCA put out the Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas manual
The EPA has a National Menu of Best Management Practices for Storm Water Phase II for Post-Construction Storm Water Management in New Development & Redevelopment which can be found at: http://cfpub.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/menuofbmps/index.cfm.

For the young men and women spending their days on the battlefield, sometimes all they need is a slice of home.
The Deep comic book store in Huntsville is hoping to bring them just that, in the form of their favorite super heroes.
"We have a few friends and customers serving overseas, so when a few of them couldn't make it to pick up their books we shipped them to them," said Robby Billups, manager of The Deep. "They wound up sharing it with other people, and they loved it."
Now what started as a kind gesture for a few friends, has turned into thousands of comic books, donated, packed and ready to be shipped to our troops.
"They're serving for us and any little bit we can do goes a long way," said Billups.
The Deep is collecting comic books until Thursday, October 4th and the books will be shipped to Afghanistan on Friday. They ask that the books that are donated do not contain graphic nudity, political themes, or war.

HHS' Evans tops Herd recruits
HUNTINGTON -- Marshall University women's basketball head coach Matt Daniel announced the signing of five recruits, including Kiana Evans from Huntington High.
Evans is a 6-foot-1 senior guard at Huntington High who averaged 20.5 points per game in a Class AAA all-state and All-Mountain State Athletic Conference junior season. She plays AAU basketball for the D1 Greyhounds.
"Kiana has a ceiling that has no limits," Daniel said. "She is a long guard that is athletic and whose best basketball is still ahead of her. I'm excited to watch her mature and grow into the player that I think she can become."
Marshall recruit McKenzie Akers is a 5-5 guard from Princeton, W.Va., and also plays for the D1 Greyhounds. She was the runner-up for West Virginia Player of the Year as a junior who averaged 20.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 3.3 steals a game.
Chelsy Romero, a 6-3 forward and center from Hampton, Va., also signed. The Kecoughtan High School senior was a preseason nominee for Peninsula District Player of the Year. Last season she averaged 12.5 points, 10 rebounds and six blocked shots.
Thundering Herd recruits Maya Singleton and Jonelle Britt are teammates at Riverdale Baptist School in Upper Marlboro, Md.
Singleton, a 6-1 forward, is ranked as the No. 38 power forward prospect by Scout.com. She put up 13.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.0 blocks and 2.5 assists last season.
Britt is a 6-2 forward and center listed as a three-star prospect by ESPN Hoopgurlz. As a junior she averaged 21 points, six rebounds and three blocks.
HUNTINGTON -- Bill Tramel's first recruit as the Marshall women's swimming and diving head coach is Mikaya Reynolds from Tennessee.
Reynolds is from Hixson, Tenn., and attends Baylor School in Chattanooga where the swim team has won three of the last four national championships. Her best times are 2:07.67 in the 200-yard individual medley, 1:06.51 in the 100-yard breaststroke, and 2:28.48 in the 200-yard breaststroke.
"Her times in two events she swam last season as a high school junior would have scored at the 2012 Conference USA Championships," Tramel said.
HUNTINGTON -- The National Soccer Coaches Association of America recognized Marshall with a Team Academic Award.
The Thundering Herd was one of 221 men's teams in the nation with a 3.0 GPA or better in the 2011-12 academic year.
HUNTINGTON -- Sammie Bane and Laura Der from Marshall volleyball were named to the C-USA All-Academic Team.
The All-Academic team consists of student-athletes who have earned a 3.2 cumulative GPA or better and are a starter or key reserve on their team.
"To have two players that play at a very high level realize and make academics their number one priority shows how focused these two really are when it comes to being a student-athlete," Marshall coach Mitch Jacobs said.
Bane is a sophomore. Der is a junior.

Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma

Asst. Chief
Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma
Many Choctaw children who enter foster care can never be returned to their homes. These Choctaw children are waiting to be adopted. That's why the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma actively seeks Choctaw families to become adoptive homes. We are in great need of Choctaw families to open their homes and their hearts to these children, especially those children who are in state's custody.
While CFS deals with two types of adoptions - children who are in a state's custody as well as children who are eligible for private adoptions - the majority of the CFS effort is focused on Choctaw children in state custody.
These Choctaw state custody children are:
Infants through 18 years of age
Sibling groups
Children with special emotional, medical, or physical needs
Children who have experienced multiple out-of-home placements
The Indian Child Welfare Act requires private adoption agencies working on an adoption plan with a Choctaw family to contact us if the family is voluntarily placing a Choctaw child up for adotion. Once we are contacted, CFS will determine if the child is Indian and, if so, will submit Choctaw Adoptive family home studies to the adoption agency so they can present them to the biological family. We encourage the agency to present our Choctaw homes as they would their own. We want our Choctaw children placed in Choctaw homes.
What are the requirements to become a Choctaw Adoption Resource Family:

Against my better judgement, I waited. Today my headache is still there, my back is still aching, I vomited again twice last night, and I had to sit in the middle of my kitchen floor earlier this afternoon when I started seeing bright lights (I thought I was about to pass out). As a result of that, I decided to check my bp again and it was 149/103 and 145/98 -- still not terribly high, but high for me. I told my husband that he'll be taking me into L&D today to be monitored, and his response was "what are they really going to do, besides keep you the weekend and send you home?" UGH. I'm very close to calling a cab or driving myself.
Thanks for letting me vent a bit. I'll provide an update once I have one. Hopefully it IS nothing and they send me home, but I really don't want to regret not being seen.

Native American Law Research Guide
This guide includes a selection of legal, governmental, and public policy resources in various formats on Native American law.
This guide was created to assist your research in the Georgetown University Law Library on Native American law. It includes a selection of legal, governmental and public policy resources in various formats on Native American law.
Native American law covers the body of law concerning American Indian tribes and their interactions with federal and state authorities, as well as among themselves. Historically, Native American law has been chiefly influenced and shaped by federal Indian policy. Tribes are generally considered self-governing, independent entities. However, this independence is subject to the power of Congress to regulate the status of tribes.
A distinction worth noting is the fact that "tribal law" deals specifically with the internal law that governs the affairs of each tribe and its members. Sources of tribal law include oral tradition, tribal constitutions and codes, as well as codes borrowed from other sources.
The following search terms are useful when using the library catalog, databases and other online sources: American Indian law, federal Indian law, Indian law, Native American law, tribal law.

Cooking and Baking
What do I do about an offer to sell my baked goods?
I just had a (completely unexpected) offer from a cafe/general store to sell my baked goods. Basically, the owner of a store near me happened to try something I made and said he'd be interested in selling some of my stuff. I'd never really considered doing this before, but I am interested in looking further into the possibility. To give you some more background - the store is in Brooklyn and is one of those sort of general store / grocery / cafe type places that are all over the city. Does anyone have any advice or can anyone direct me towards resources that might help me learn a little more about this? Thanks so much!
