Dear Select County and District Superintendents, Charter School Administrators, County Treasurers, and District Standardized Testing and Reporting Coordinators:
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that an assessment apportionment payment has been made to your local educational agency (LEA). The assessment apportionment funds from the 2012–13 state General Fund may be used to pay approved apportionment costs from the 2011–12 and prior fiscal years for the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program, the California English Language Development Test, and the California High School Exit Examination.
This assessment apportionment payment is made for participation in the spring 2012 STAR Program testing in accordance with criteria specified in California Education Code Section 60640(h) to reimburse LEAs for costs associated with the annual STAR Program testing.
The State Controller will mail warrants to the appropriate county treasurers. Assessment apportionment funds are considered unrestricted and should be accounted for as Income Account or Revenue Object Code 8590 (Resource Code 0000) of the General Fund. The enclosed county listing provides the apportionment amount for LEAs.
If you have any questions regarding this apportionment, please contact Mei Tan, Analyst, STAR Program Office, by phone at 916-319-0346 or by e-mail at email@example.com.
Deborah V.H. Sigman, Deputy Superintendent

12 U.S. Code § 1766 - Powers of Board
(a) The Board may prescribe rules and regulations for the administration of this chapter (including, but not by way of limitation, the merger, consolidation, and dissolution of corporations organized under this chapter). Any central credit union chartered by the Board shall be subject to such rules, regulations, and orders as the Board deems appropriate and, except as otherwise specifically provided in such rules, regulations, or orders, shall be vested with or subject to the same rights, privileges, duties, restrictions, penalties, liabilities, conditions, and limitations that would apply to all Federal credit unions under this chapter.
(1) The Board may suspend or revoke the charter of any Federal credit union, or place the same in involuntary liquidation and appoint a liquidating agent therefor, upon its finding that the organization is bankrupt or insolvent, or has violated any of the provisions of its charter, its bylaws, this chapter, or any regulations issued thereunder.
(2) The Board, through such persons as it shall designate, may examine any Federal credit union in voluntary liquidation and, upon its finding that such voluntary liquidation is not being conducted in an orderly or efficient manner or in the best interests of its members, may terminate such voluntary liquidation and place such organization in involuntary liquidation and appoint a liquidating agent therefor.
(3) Such liquidating agent shall have power and authority, subject to the control and supervision of the Board and under such rules and regulations as the Board may prescribe,
(A) to receive and take possession of the books, records, assets, and property of every description of the Federal credit union in liquidation, to sell, enforce collection of, and liquidate all such assets and property, to compound all bad or doubtful debts, and to sue in his own name or in the name of the Federal credit union in liquidation, and defend such actions as may be brought against him as liquidating agent or against the Federal credit union;
(B) to receive, examine, and pass upon all claims against the Federal credit union in liquidation, including claims of members on member accounts;
(D) to execute such documents and papers and to do such other acts and things which he may deem necessary or desirable to discharge his duties hereunder.
(4) Subject to the control and supervision of the Board and under such rules and regulations as the Board may prescribe, the liquidating agent of a Federal credit union in involuntary liquidation shall
(A) cause notice to be given to creditors and members to present their claims and make legal proof thereof, which notice shall be published once a week in each of three successive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in each county in which the Federal credit union in liquidation maintained an office or branch for the transaction of business on the date it ceased unrestricted operations; except that whenever the aggregate book value of the assets and property of a Federal credit union in involuntary liquidation is less than $1,000, unless the Board shall find that its books and records do not contain a true and accurate record of its liabilities he shall declare such Federal credit union in liquidation to be a "no publication" liquidation, and publication of notice to creditors and members shall not be required in such case;
(B) from time to time make a ratable dividend on all such claims as may have been proved to his satisfaction or adjudicated in a court of competent jurisdiction and, after the assets of such organization have been liquidated, make further dividends on all claims previously proved or adjudicated, and he may accept in lieu of a formal proof of claim on behalf of any creditor or member the statement of any amount due to such creditor or member as shown on the books and records of the credit union; but all claims not filed before payment of the final dividend shall be barred and claims rejected or disallowed by the liquidating agent shall be likewise barred unless suit be instituted thereon within three months after notice of rejection or disallowance; and
(C) in a "no publication" liquidation, determine from all sources available to him, and within the limits of available funds of the Federal credit union, the amounts due to creditors and members, and after sixty days shall have elapsed from the date of his appointment distribute the funds of the Federal credit union to creditors and members ratably and as their interests may appear.
(5) Upon certification by the liquidating agent in the case of an involuntary liquidation, and upon such proof as shall be satisfactory to the Board in the case of a voluntary liquidation, that distribution has been made and that liquidation has been completed, as provided herein, the Board shall cancel the charter of such Federal credit union; but the corporate existence of the Federal credit union shall continue for a period of three years from the date of such cancellation of its charter, during which period the liquidating agent, or his duly appointed successor, or such persons as the Board shall designate, may act on behalf of the Federal credit union for the purpose of paying, satisfying, and discharging any existing liabilities or obligations, collecting and distributing its assets, and doing all other acts required to adjust and wind up its business and affairs, and it may sue and be sued in its corporate name.
(c) After the expiration of five years from the date of cancellation of the charter of a Federal credit union the Board may, in its discretion, destroy any or all books and records of such Federal credit union in its possession or under its control.
(d) The Board is authorized and empowered to execute any and all functions and perform any and all duties vested in it hereby, through such persons as it shall designate or employ; and it may delegate to any person or persons, including any institution operating under the general supervision of the Administration, the performance and discharge of any authority, power, or function vested in it by this chapter.
(e) All books and records of Federal credit unions shall be kept and reports shall be made in accordance with forms approved by the Board.
(1) The Board is authorized to make investigations and to conduct researches and studies of the problems of persons of small means in obtaining credit at reasonable rates of interest, and of the methods and benefits of cooperative saving and lending among such persons. It is further authorized to make reports of such investigations and to publish and disseminate the same.
(A) The Board is authorized to conduct directly, or to make grants to or contracts with colleges or universities, State or local educational agencies, or other appropriate public or private nonprofit organizations to conduct, programs for the training of persons engaged, or preparing to engage, in the operation of credit unions, and in related consumer counseling programs, serving the poor. It is authorized to establish a program of experimental, developmental, demonstration, and pilot projects, either directly or by grants to public or private nonprofit organizations, including credit unions, or by contracts with such organizations or other private organizations, designed to promote more effective operation of credit unions, and related consumer counseling programs, serving the poor.
(B) In carrying out its authority under this paragraph, the Board shall consult with officials of the Office of Economic Opportunity and other appropriate Federal agencies responsible for the administration of projects or programs concerned with problems of the poor. The development and operation of programs and projects under this paragraph shall involve maximum feasible participation of residents of the areas and members of the groups served by such programs and projects, with community action agencies established under the provisions of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 [42 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.] serving, to the extent feasible, as the means through which such participation is achieved.
(C) In order to carry out the purposes of this paragraph, there is authorized to be appropriated, as a supplement to any funds that may be expended by the Board pursuant to sections 1755 and 1756 of this title for such purposes, not to exceed $300,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1970, and not to exceed $1,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1971.
(g) Any officer or employee of the Administration is authorized, when designated for the purpose by the Board, to administer oaths and affirmations and to take affidavits and depositions touching upon any matter within the jurisdiction of the Administration.
(h) The Board is authorized, empowered, and directed to require that every person appointed or elected by any Federal credit union to any position requiring the receipt, payment, or custody of money or other personal property owned by a Federal credit union, or in its custody or control as collateral or otherwise, give bond in a corporate surety company holding a certificate of authority from the Secretary of the Treasury under chapter 93 of title 31, as an acceptable surety on Federal bonds. Any such bond or bonds shall be in a form approved by the Board with a view to providing surety coverage to the Federal credit union with reference to loss by reason of acts of fraud or dishonesty including forgery, theft, embezzlement, wrongful abstraction, or misapplication on the part of the person, directly or through connivance with others, and such other surety coverages as the Board may determine to be reasonably appropriate or as elsewhere required by this chapter. Any such bond or bonds shall be in such an amount in relation to the money or other personal property involved or in relation to the assets of the Federal credit union as the Board may from time to time prescribe by regulation for the purpose of requiring reasonable coverage. In lieu of individual bonds the Board may approve the use of a form of schedule or blanket bond which covers all of the officers and employees of a Federal credit union whose duties include the receipt, payment, or custody of money or other personal property for or on behalf of the Federal credit union. The Board may also approve the use of a form of excess coverage bond whereby a Federal credit union may obtain an amount of coverage in excess of the basic surety coverage.
(i) In addition to the authority conferred upon it by other sections of this chapter, the Board is authorized in carrying out its functions under this chapter—
(1) to appoint such personnel as may be necessary to enable the Administration to carry out its functions;
(2) to expend such funds, enter into such contracts with public and private organizations and persons, make such payments in advance or by way of reimbursement, acquire and dispose of, by lease or purchase, real or personal property, without regard to the provisions of any other law applicable to executive or independent agencies of the United States, and perform such other functions or acts as it may deem necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this chapter, in accordance with the rules and regulations or policies established by the Board not inconsistent with this chapter; and
(j) Staff.—
(1) Appointment and compensation.— The Board shall fix the compensation and number of, and appoint and direct, employees of the Board. Rates of basic pay for employees of the Board may be set and adjusted by the Board without regard to the provisions of chapter 51 or subchapter III of chapter 53 of title 5.
(2) Additional compensation and benefits.— The Board may provide additional compensation and benefits to employees of the Board if the same type of compensation or benefits are then being provided by any other Federal bank regulatory agency or, if not then being provided, could be provided by such an agency under applicable provisions of law, rule, or regulation. In setting and adjusting the total amount of compensation and benefits for employees of the Board, the Board shall seek to maintain comparability with other Federal bank regulatory agencies.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - The company that owns the Portland Press Herald says a former CEO stole more than $500,000 from the company.
The current CEO of MaineToday Media, Lisa DeSisto, says in a letter that the company's insurance company has reimbursed the company for $537,988.68.
Travelers Casualty & Surety Company apparently found enough evidence that former CEO Richard Connor took that sum for unauthorized personal use during his tenure, from June 2009 to October 2011.
The letter, which is included in full in this article, has a rundown of some of the charges. They include salary increases, bonuses, an SUV for Connor's son and a pair of rental properties in Camden.
The letter also states that a company that Connor formerly ran is suing him for similar charges.
DeSisto says in the letter that the recovered money will be reinvested in MaineToday Media.

I do not recall reading about my home town of Hiawatha and Wattis burning to the ground in the newspaper. I was told by a comple stranger when I went to Sunnyside Days and the Greek Festival.
I did not know where old Durrant School was to watch the fireworks either. In fact the newspaper should have printed the address.
That would have been nice.
Editors note: We will take our lumps for not printing the address of the Durrant School property in the stories about the limitation of fireworks on July 4 and July 24 in Price. We should have reported that so people knew where they could view the event. As for the "burning to the ground" of Hiawatha and Wattis, we did not report that because it did not happen. wildland firefighters and those from our local fire departments kept both areas safe during the Seeley Fire.

Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family
When Madea's niece, Shirley, receives distressing news about her health, all she wants is to gather her three adult children around her and share the news as a family. But Tammy, Kimberly and Byron are too distracted by their own problems: Tammy can't manage her unruly children or her broken marriage; Kimberly is gripped with anger and takes it out on her husband; and Byron, after spending two years in jail, is under pressure to deal drugs again. It's up to Madea, with the help of the equally rambunctious Aunt Bam, to gather the clan together and make things right the only way she knows how: with a lot of tough love, laughter -- and the revelation of a long-buried family secret.

The Western Energy Training Center continues to move forward by employing revolutionary techniques in energy education.
"Our power plant simulator is now mobile," said program director Robert Litster. "If anything our capabilities have increased and we are ready to move forward with our original mission of industry driven training."
Showcased for Gov. Jon Huntsman when he toured the facility earlier in the year, the simulator has the ability to aid in training an aging power generation workforce who could have issues with mass retirement in the next five to 10 years.
Earlier in the year, several core staff members left the College of Eastern Utah training facility, including curriculum director Robert Topping and center director Steve Burge.
According to Litster, the facility has trained over 14,000 individuals since opening on June 30, 2008. Most recently officials at the site conducted both their annual "Safety Fest" and "Think Energy Super Tour."
During the energy tour, a composite of kindergarten through 12th grade educators toured strategic energy producing resource facilities in the state.
According to the WETC program director, the tour focused on several energy rich areas where as many as 60 teachers from all walks of the educational spectrum attended visual demonstrations of all the state has to offer for their students vocational future.
Stops along the tour included:
A geothermal energy focus at the Blundell Power Plant.
A focus on methane generated electricity at the Salt Lake City Landfill.
Nuclear energy at Energy Solutions Inc.
Oil drilling at Wolverine Oil at Salina.
Mining at Arch Western's Skyline mine.
Power generation at Intermountain Power's Delta plant.
Power distribution at Intermountain Electronics.
Clean coke manufacturing at Terra Systems located at the WETC facilities.
New wind powered generation at the Edison Mission Energy facility in Spanish Fork.
And energy transportation at Savage Services.
"What the tour boils down to is demonstrating for these educators all the potential that is out there for their students in the energy field," said Litster. "We plan to develop a universal sense of energy literacy in Utah. The hope is after seeing the variety of energy-producing methods and wide range of techniques used, the educators will take what they have learned and find ways to implement this new comprehensive information into their instructional activities."
The tour was offered to all educators. Participants included three elementary, four middle school, 17 junior high, 15 high school, two administrative and one college level instructor.
The participants represented school districts from Carbon County, Alpine, two from Idaho; Davis; Emery; Granite; Jordan; San Juan; Juab; Morgan; Provo; Salt Lake; Tooele and a Michigan school.
The visiting instructors indicated that they were excited to get back to their students after the tour.
According to WETC, the examples of the participants' comments included:
â¢"I gained a tremendous knowledge and appreciation of the energy resources we have in the state."
â¢"I want to thank the WETC for an exceptional educational experience. The trip was a huge success. I am a better educator and a better audiologist because of the knowledge I gained from this course," according to WETC materials.
As coal prices continue to rise and the local coal market continues to expand a local training facility such as the WETC is invaluable, reported Litster.
"We have began working with the department of workforce services," said the WETC program director. "We will do what we have to in order to get people interested in training, we are hoping to use DWS facilities to put on training right there in their boardrooms."
While the energy tour was used to show educators what can be provided for their students, Litster also noted that local youth should know on their own what is available for their own futures.
"We are not talking about grunt work jobs here," concluded Litster. "There are jobs in the business office for accounting and on site for engineers not to mention all types of operation's opportunities as mines, power plants and gas wells continue to become more technical in nature. There is so much opportunity for a small amount of training to turn itself into a great career for anyone who is interested."

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) --First the good: a spokesperson for the 6,000 Smithsonian Museum workers, most of them in the DC area, says there will be no furloughs and no reduced hours for the local museums come March 1.
If there is no sequestration budget agreement between Congress and the White House the Smithsonian said there will be a hiring freeze, delayed maintenance and construction and reduced travel in order to meet a mandated $40 million in sequester cuts.
Forthousands of other federal workers its unclear what will happen beginningMarch first to avoid a package of $85 billion in mandated across the board spending cuts.
On Tuesday, outside several federal office buildings in Southwest DC federal workers told me they had not been given instructions onwhen furloughs could begin.
There is no way of knowingat this point if workers will be be forced to take up to 20 days by the end of the current fiscal year on September 30th. That could result ina 20% pay cut for employees.

Mark Coogan, an Olympic marathon runner (1996), has been promoted to the women's cross country head coach after serving as an assistant for one season. Coogan was also named the assistant coach for the track programs and will serve primarily as coach of the distance runners.
Student-athletes have earned 12 All-America honors while being coached directly by Coogan, including multiple times by Abbey D'Agostino (9) and Alexi Pappas (2).Coogan's guidance also helped D'Agostino win the 2012 National Championship in the outdoor 5000, the first woman to ever claim an individual national title in Dartmouth history. She has also finished in the top-3 at the cross country championship meet twice with the assistance of Coogan and claimed four Heps titles in several events at both indoor and outdoor meets.
In the indoor and outdoor seasons of 2013, D'Agostino would add three more titles, including another 5000m outdoor title. At the 2013 NCAA Championship meet in Arkansas and under the guidance of Coogan, D'Agostino became the first American woman ever to win the 3000m and 5000m titles in a career, accomplishing the feat on consecutive days.

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- We are just hours away from the opening of firearm deer season and experts are reminding hunters to be careful.
Each year, they say, hunting accidents lead to spinal cord injuries -- even death.
At Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital in Grand Rapids, Mark Celeskey is making progress in his recovery. He was paralyzed three weeks ago when he fell out of his tree stand in Northern Michigan.
"I wouldn't wish this upon anybody," says Celesky, who was not wearing a safety harness at the time of his accident.
"Any other time, if I was in a stand bow hunting, I would of had a harness on, but I was in a rifle stand with rails all around," he says.
Celesky says, at the time he thought he was safe. Instead, he fell 16 feet. He laid on the ground for five hours before his cousin found him.
"My cell phone was in my pocket, but it was on vibrate, so I could hear him and my wife calling me, but I couldn't reach it" says Celesky.
At Mary Free Bed, Dr. Stephen Bloom says this is their busy season. The doctor says hunters' proper use of safety harnesses could cut down on the large number of patients they see during the season.
"Injuries, particularly more severe ones like brain or spinal cord injury," says Dr. Bloom. "It should be attached properly for it to work."
"I've come a long way in three weeks, but still it's a hard road ahead," says Celesky, "but I'll be dealing with this for the rest of my life."
"Hunting's a wonderful sport," says Dr. Bloom. "I'm a hunter. You can do it safely, and do it smartly. You want to do it (that way) so you come home with a trophy and not an injury that's going to change your life."

Women & Psoriasis
Diet & Psoriasis
Women & Psoriatic Arthritis
Info Kit
Approved by the FDA in the 1970s for treatment of severe psoriasis, methotrexate was initially used to treat cancer.
In a person with psoriasis, methotrexate binds to and inhibits an enzyme involved in the rapid growth of skin cells and slows down their growth rate.
Download the Systemics Medication Booklet (pdf) »
Do not take methotrexate if:
The less common side effects of long-term methotrexate treatment include liver damage and developing reversible liver scarring. The risk of liver damage increases if a person drinks alcohol, has abnormal kidney function, is obese, has diabetes or has had prior liver disease. Years after the drug, in rare occasions, certain types of cancer, such as lymphoma, and bone marrow toxicity have occurred. Methotrexate can cause a reduced white blood cell count increasing infection risk.
Individuals taking methotrexate must have regular blood tests to ensure that the drug is safely processed by the body including the liver, white blood cells and bone marrow. Additionally, the liver must be biopsied at regular intervals.
Pregnancy should be avoided if either partner is taking methotrexate. Men should be off methotrexate at least three months before trying to conceive. Women should wait at least four months after stopping methotrexate to become pregnant.

The Sanskrit name of this Great Bodhisattva is Kshitigarbha, which means "womb of the earth." Each Jizo is a unique work of art designed by Jan Chozen Bays Roshi and cast of richly glazed, lead free ceramic by her students at Great Vow Zen Monastery in Oregon. Peeking Jizo holds a baby in his arms, while a small child peeks out from beneath his robe. Child Jizo holds a wishfulfilling jewel. A statue of Jizo is a welcome gift for a family expecting the birth of a child or for a family whose child has died.
Blue glaze statues signify the Jizo who safely guides those who are crossing over from the world of the living to the world of the dead. Green glaze statues represent the Earthstore Bodhisattva who is guardian of the precious Buddha Nature which lies hidden in each one of us until it is cultivated through sincere practice.

BEIJING (Caixin Online) — Flames of a public relations disaster were licking at the heels of a private equity firm when China's most notorious Internet-scrubbing company rode to the rescue.
Saving the Shenzhen-based firm's image wasn't cheap, and it took more than two months to douse the flames of Internet news reports and rumors claiming executives had used a Ponzi scheme to bilk investors.
From a technical standpoint, however, deleting every image-stinging accusation was relatively easy for a team of public relations specialists at Yage Time Advertising Ltd., which for a price deleted Internet postings of all kinds according to client specifications before a police crackdown on Internet scrubbing last year.
Caixin is a Beijing-based media group dedicated to providing high-quality and authoritative financial and business news and information through periodicals, online and TV/video programs.
• Get the Caixin e-newsletter
The company's founder, 30-year-old Gu Dengda, is awaiting trial on a variety of charges including bribery. He's one of at least 10 Internet clean-up specialists currently being detained by police. And Yage is one of several companies closed over the past year by authorities for turning China's website administration process into an illegal money machine.
The last vestiges of China's web-scrubbing industry were apparently wiped out in July when police raids targeted Yage and a related public relations firm in Beijing's Haidian District.
More than 100 employees — even janitors — were detained. Authorities were so determined to leave no stone unturned that every uniformed officer in the district was dispatched for the raids, even a forensic examiner.
The Haidian clampdown had its roots in a national campaign launched three months earlier by four central government agencies — the Propaganda Department of the Communist Party's Central Committee, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, and the State Administration for Industry & Commerce — aimed at uprooting website administrator bribery and other illegal, Internet-related public relations activity.
Targets included employees at public relations firms, major news portals such as Netease and Sohu, the Beijing-area news portal Qianlong, Internet search giant Baidu and local government Internet regulators.
A primary goal was to finally stop the moneymaking scheme that Gu started and Yage perfected before being imitated by other businesses across the country. His and other businesses rescued companies from image-damaging content on the Internet by paying website operators to delete posts and news articles. They would also arrange to beef up online reputations for companies and government officials.
Most of those detained during the Haidian raids were caught by surprise. While under interrogation, police said, several shook their heads "no" after being asked whether they knew that deleting web posts was against the law.
Wealth track
Gu, whose name in Chinese means "reaching prosperity," found a shortcut to fortune in 2006 after learning how website operations work as a low-level staffer at China's largest search engine Baidu.
Why China is worth the investment
Despite hacking and other troubling issues in China, foreign companies need to be there due to the country's innovation and infrastructure, says General Electric Vice Chairman John Rice.
He decided money could be made based on the fact that at that time Internet users were posting more than 2 million messages on Baidu's public forums every day. In addition, news and information website readers were posting massive numbers of reader comments.
By deleting postings and comments that painted a negative picture of a company or individual, Gu decided he could make a decent living.
Gu's knowledge of Baidu's website-user rules worked to his advantage. He knew, for example, that the search engine's around-the-clock complaint department would work with website technicians to quickly remove any posts about which they received a Baidu-user complaint.
At that time, blog posts, comments and other data could be scrubbed based entirely on a single complaint.
Moreover, Gu knew how to make direct contact with website administrators and their colleagues. This skill — coupled with his ability to grease palms and cultivate good relations with website staffers — proved to be the key to his business success.
Gu started by charging 800 to 1,000 yuan ($128 to $160) per deleted post while still employed at Baidu. He would start working his magic after finding an image-conscious customer, who wanted something scrubbed from the Internet. He would then file complaints with Baidu BIDU, +1.59% about relevant postings, and watch the Web until they disappeared.

A former Yage colleague said his boss managed to pocket tens of thousands of yuan USDCNY, +0.3132% during this moonlighting phase, before launching his company.
Gu once told employees at Yage 's that "traditional crisis management skills are public apologies and paying compensation to victims. But what's needed by those companies that want to get listed (on the stock market), or those that don't want to spend much to manage a crisis, is to prevent the spread of (negative) information.
"This is especially true for local government officials and entertainment stars," Gu told his staff, according to the former Yage employee.
Gu's sideline business took off, so he quit Baidu in 2007 and set up Beijng Yage Time Technology Ltd. He later changed its name to Yage Time Advertising and registered the firm under the name of his wife, the chief financial officer.
Yage's clients ranged from small, private companies to heavyweights such as China Mobile 0941, -0.64% CHL, -0.69% and FAW-Volkswagen, the joint venture set up by German carmaker Volkswagen and Chinese counterpart First Automobile Works 000800, +5.70% Foreign concerns, including Pizza Hut and the Japanese restaurant chain Yoshinoya, also hired Yage.
But Yage's best clients were local government officials. They were generally eager to pay for his help with building a positive image and a clean record on the Internet.
A former Yage staff member said about 60% of the company's profits came from business with officials from second- and third-tier cities. These clients included many police chiefs.
As part of Gu's strategy, dozens of Yage staffers spent the workday surfing the Internet in search of negative news, comments and postings about government officials. Any official whose reputation seemed to be threatened would be contacted and offered Yage's services as soon as negative information surfaced online.
High season for Yage's business with local government clients was usually just before the National People's Congress and China People's Political Consultative Conference held every March in Beijing. It's around conference time that officials typically come under attack from whistleblowers. It's also when these officials are often willing to pay a premium to see negative publicity vanish.
A former Yage staffer recalled that Gu once announced at an internal meeting that a deal with a nervous government official was worth no less than 500,000 yuan.
Yage's cream of the crop employees built good client relations with government officials. These included a dozen hand-picked by Gu and carefully trained so they could successfully pitch the company's services to even high-ranking officials.
Gu also found ways to profit from value-added services. For example, after scrubbing negative content for a client, Yage sales staffers often recommended Internet surveillance software that could be used to self-monitor web forums. Yage could buy a single software license for 100,000 yuan and sell it to a gullible client for 400,000 yuan.
Who deletes
At the other end of the food chain were website operators and administrators — and in some cases government-linked Internet censors — with the power to delete information after it was posted on the Internet.

Whether you are in the midst of your adolescence or a full-grown adult, chances are you have certain nostalgia for the '90s. It is the decade, after all, that brought us the original 90210, the Spice Girls, Chloe Sevigny and the New York club kid culture, and of course, the grunge movement, courtesy of Nirvana and Marc Jacobs. We certainly had a love affair with the '90s, and now thanks to the likes of Junya Watanabe and Opening Ceremony, we can revisit the memorable era once again with the return of micro floral prints, cropped pants, and chunky platforms. We plan on fully embracing the season's '90s redux and think you should too. So let us show you how!
On The Runways
While '90s fashion encompasses a wide range of trends, we couldn't help but notice that two iconic looks were represented on the fall runways: grunge and the club kid. We spotted the former at Opening Ceremony, where the brand channeled a teenage Chloe Sevigny with the Teal Jacquard Ruffle T Shirt Dress ($450) paired with a shrunken cardigan, opaque tights, and the Red Pony Shirley Boots ($484). Over at Junya Watanabe, where the look was more Lady Kire, models strutted down the runway sporting bright wigs and dramatic smoky eyes. Demure, below-the-knee dresses, like the Crushed-Velvet and Printed Georgette Midi Dress ($1810), paired with heavy combat-like boots evoked a cool disregard befitting of Generation X and offered a modern take on the underground look.
On the Streets
Carey Mulligan
Out and about in New York early last month, actress Carey Mulligan stepped out in a sleeveless dress covered in tiny flowers and Prada's Kid Leather Flat Cage Sandals ($820). The frock's micro floral motif is not only perfect for a summer afternoon outing, but it's also a stylish nod to the mid-'90s hippie look. (Winona Ryder would totally approve!)
January Jones
When it comes to the borrowed-from-the-boys outfit January Jones wore while out in Santa Monica a few weeks ago, it's all about the jeans! The Mad Men actress selected MiH Jeans' Monaco Cropped Kick Flare Jeans ($189), which have a relaxed fit and hit right at the ankle, showing off her Frye Carson Lace-Up Boots ($258). We also like that that she added a black fedora to give her look an extra dose of understated cool.
Street Style
We're completely inspired by the ensemble one stylish civilian put together, as seen on Stockholm StreetStyle. The combination of the distressed open-knit tank top worn over a green velvet dress with embroidery and paired with combat boots is the epitome of grunge style.
Get The Look/Outerwear
If you'd like your wardrobe to time-travel back to the '90s, then consider today's story your one-stop shop for all your clothing, accessory, and beauty must-haves. First priority: a denim jacket! Whether you're planning on wearing it with a floral-covered skirt or light-wash jeans, we think Denim Refinery's Distressed Lee Jacket ($118) is a timeless option that will quickly become a closet go-to. In addition to the denim jacket, a furry layer in an autumnal hue, like Rachel Roy's cozy Pumpkin Spice Angora Fur Cardigan ($498), is a necessity, and would look stylish paired with everything from a baby doll dress to a flouncy miniskirt and tights.
Get The Look/Skirts and Dresses
If you're going to invest in a mini skirt this season, make sure it's Surface to Air's high-waisted Tate Skirt V1 ($260). It's a bit preppy, but still very cool, especially when teamed with a little cropped sweater for the weekend. If you're not into skirts, perhaps Sandro's Rodeo Dress ($390) will suit your fancy. With a bottle green color and contrasting white collar, we can definitely imagine Dionne from Clueless wearing this number, complete with knee-high socks and clogs, of course! Rounding out our clothing picks is Tucker's High Waisted Shorts ($242), which features a vibrant print that will punch up your neutrals in a flash.
Get The Look/Accessories
Once you've sorted out your '90s-influenced clothing, you'll want to snag a few accessories to complete the look. When it comes to your bag, go for a petite cross-body style like Coach's Legacy Leather Mini Mini Crossbody ($128). The convertible carrier allows for hands-free toting, which is ideal for the '90s girl on the go! Obviously today's look requires a choker of some sort, and what better way to channel your inner Drew Barrymore than with Claire's super affordable Velvet and Thread Choker ($6.50)? If you're on the hunt for a pair of shoes instead, look no further than ASOS' High Five Platform Bow Sandals ($86); the chunky platform and fuchsia velvet will not only complement your '90s attire, but will pair perfectly with fall's decadent looks too. We're also crazy about Zanzan's fluorescent yellow Mizaru Sunglasses ($405), as they make a standout addition to any ensemble.
Get The Look/Beauty
Lastly, if you're searching for a subtle way to hint at the '90s, Hard Candy's Just Nails Nail Polish ($4) in Teal is just the thing you need. The cool blue hue will bring an unexpected pop of color to all your neutrals! However you decide to address the '90s this season, we advise you to keep the era's most stylish ladies in mind--think: Chloe Sevigny, Kate Moss, and Angela Chase (a.k.a. Claire Danes)--when creating your own look!

Sunhood fitted to E3 stroller second seat securely. Works just great, and was able to put double storm cover over no problem. Fits neatly and looks great as well as doing the job of providing extra sun/wind cover for my little one.

This product was purchased for my Sports Double Kit as I had no visor for it. I love how its versatile and can connect to most P&T double kits. I am impressed by the "follow the sun" concept that is used on the main pram sunhoods and glad to see it now is available for double kits. Once connected it can be moved up and down the frame for shorter/taller children.
The only shortfall of this product is I believe it is still relatively flimsy like the Navigator v1 double kit sunhood. It would be better if the material and framework held it in place 100%.
Overall though I am happy with the upgrade and it suits both my toddler and infants needs in the second seat!

I really wanted to love this since I love my stroller so much but I feel like it fell short. It's kind of floppy and doesn't provide much shade. I use an extra blanket to shade my newborn
Written by: JMAK
Sunday 27 July 2014
Glad they seem to have improved the sunhood. The 1st version is really bad, it extends beyond the seat and you kick it every single step. Also, it attaches with 4 push buttons and thus doesn't sit tightly on the seat but goes all wonky really quickly. This one seems to be attached the same way as the main seat sunhood, and doesn't seem to be as long as the first version. I wish I had this, but no can do, the first one is what I got with the double kit and don't want to spend more money.

Like all colleges and universities, Southern certainly has its challenges. However, it also has phenomenal potential and some very talented staff.
My goals as CIO are to: ensure IT becomes a value creation engine, make every effort to provision best-of-class technologies and related resources, explore new technologies of promise and implement as appropriate, support innovation on a broad scale, and most importantly-create a first class IT team built on intellectual horsepower that is fully prepared for the challenges of the future.
My immediate focus is on studying the current environment and listening to students, faculty, and staff to gather input for the development of initiatives to move the IT environment forward in as meaningful a way as possible.
If you have any questions, concerns, or want to share your views, please feel free to reach out to me, or anyone in the CIO office, we really need your input.

"He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom, our righteousness and sanctification and redemption; "
1 Corinthians 1:1 Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and our brother Sos'thenes,
1 Corinthians 1:2 To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:
1 Corinthians 1:3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 1:4 I give thanks to God always for you because of the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,
1 Corinthians 1:5 that in every way you were enriched in him with all speech and all knowledge--
1 Corinthians 1:6 even as the testimony to Christ was confirmed among you--
1 Corinthians 1:7 so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ;
1 Corinthians 1:8 who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Corinthians 1:10 I appeal to you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree and that there be no dissensions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment.
1 Corinthians 1:11 For it has been reported to me by Chlo'e's people that there is quarreling among you, my brethren.
1 Corinthians 1:12 What I mean is that each one of you says, "I belong to Paul," or "I belong to Apol'los," or "I belong to Cephas," or "I belong to Christ."
1 Corinthians 1:13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
1 Corinthians 1:14 I am thankful that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Ga'ius;
1 Corinthians 1:15 lest any one should say that you were baptized in my name.
1 Corinthians 1:16 (I did baptize also the household of Steph'anas. Beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any one else.)
1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
1 Corinthians 1:18 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:19 For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will thwart."
1 Corinthians 1:20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
1 Corinthians 1:21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.
1 Corinthians 1:22 For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom,
1 Corinthians 1:23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles,
1 Corinthians 1:24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
1 Corinthians 1:25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
1 Corinthians 1:26 For consider your call, brethren; not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth;
1 Corinthians 1:27 but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong,
1 Corinthians 1:28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are,
1 Corinthians 1:29 so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.
1 Corinthians 1:30 He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom, our righteousness and sanctification and redemption;
1 Corinthians 1:31 therefore, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast of the Lord."
