ATMC is a nationally recognised educational institute in the state of Victoria, Australia.
The Australian Technical & Management College's (ATMC) educational journey started as a series of teaching institutions in major cities of the Indian subcontinent that provided a pathway for students into higher educational facilities. The ATMC then looked to Australia to collaborate with two recognised regional universities with proven strengths, in Information Technology and Business Studies. Outstanding candidates were found with the Federation University Australia (FedUni) which is proudly Australia's third oldest university and Charles Darwin University (CDU) which is ranked in the top 2% of world universities.
The ATMC is now a nationally recognised Australian educational institute.The ATMC is well established with a campus in Geelong, three campuses in Melbourne and a campus in Sydney. Offshore, there is a campus in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and a teaching location in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. At the ATMC campus in Geelong students enjoy studying and living in a historical regional city while those at the ATMC Melbourne and Sydney campuses enjoy studying in one of the most liveable cities in the world.
The ATMC in association with FedUni and CDU offers an exciting collection of Bachelor Degrees, Associate Degrees, Graduate Diplomas, Master Degrees in Information Technology and Information Systems and Bachelor and Master Degrees in Business and Accounting. There is an absolute commitment to keeping the degree programs offered up-to-date at all times and relevant to the industry environment nationally and internationally. At the ATMC the class sizes are small, so that students enjoy the learning experience and don't get lost in the crowd. Staff are accessible. At the ATMC students are a name not just a number. In fact, academic and administrative staff get to know the students.
Resources are put back into the College to develop facilities and services that benefit students. The College employs contemporary technology in all aspects of the business, delivery and services.
Classrooms are spacious, fully air-conditioned and inviting. The classrooms are equipped with technologically up to date learning and teaching equipment and resources. The ATMC is dedicated to providing the latest and best hardware and software solutions for all students. From diverse operating systems (such as XP, Linux and UNIX) to high end applications software (such as .NET, Java Enterprise, Case Tools etc). ATMC provides training in all of these areas. All labs are equipped with high-end HP servers, Database management solutions, latest multimedia workstations and wireless devices.
At the ATMC we recognise that students might need additional help with their academic studies. So at ATMC, we assign mentors to each of our students. This offering is open to all ATMC students, free of charge, whereby they are able to work with high-performing, more senior students, who act as their mentors. These mentors, students with specialised knowledge who have excelled academically, are employed to assist students, whether individually or in small study groups.
At the ATMC we provide job placement assistance in which complete guidance is provided in terms of resume preparation, mock interviews, etc. Many students have obtained work placements as a result of ATMC's assistance. (Put link here to Graduate Work Placement brochure)
While academic excellence was, and remains, highly valued, the ATMC provides niche advantages in the range, depth and suitability of its student support services, not available at most other similar educational providers.
Leadership in the College's governance is a further important aspect of quality. The College's Council is chaired by Dr John Harvey who, during an illustrious career with IBM, has played a leading role in the founding and operations of the Federation University Australia's Technology Park which is now the largest technology park in regional Australia and in the implementation of an innovative "Earn as you Learn" professional practice higher education degree in information technology.
The Chief Academic Officer, Dr Paul Kelly chairs the Academic Board, a panel of senior academics.
The ATMC Academic Board consists of experienced academics who will act as mentors to staff as well as overseeing the academic quality and integrity of the programs delivered by ATMC on behalf of their University Partners and also the Vocational Diploma and English Courses offered at all ATMC campuses.
The Academic Board will regularly review and respond to the student evaluations of courses, services and teaching. It will also oversee the professional development program for ATMC staff which aims to develop the scholarship and teaching skills of staff. Members of the Academic board will also be invited to lecture at appropriate times and thereby provide mentoring for less experienced staff.
The Academic Board like the Council will ensure that consistent, enduring quality is delivered in ATMC's programs and operations.
The College's strategic vision has been to expand the ATMC's operations into the international sphere and a considerable amount of resources and energy has been dedicated to the pursuit of this goal.
The established 'base' in India with ATMC's Australian IT Skills Colleges will progressively expand into neighbouring Pakistan and Sri Lanka. A campus in Colombo has been opened in conjunction with the Federation University Australia. View article published in Sunday Times.
Further target countries and regions include China, the Middle East and Switzerland, where a feasibility study is underway for a Geneva based campus. Other locations are under active consideration, which will in due course contribute toward an international network of campuses with core values and academic offerings, each 'tailored' to respond to the particular international location.
With these opportunities in mind, the College's marketing team has been expanded correspondingly to provide 'face to face' exchanges between international partners and the authorities that determine what programs can be offered by whom in their jurisdictions. The Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, General Manager and the Chief Academic Officer are among those who 'fly the ATMC flag' in international target locations. In addition, specialized marketing staff members who have well-established positive working relationships within the sub-continent, south-east Asia, Middle East and China frequently visit and liaise with colleagues and clients.
The descriptor of 'College" is an apt one for the ATMC, as it recognizes the 'collegiate' attitude between fellow staff and their students. It also connotes the caring, interest and concern shown by staff towards the student body be it through ready personal access, social intermingling or the wide-spread provision of specialized services that support settling into the Australian culture, developing English language skills, providing career advice and the like.
The aim is not just to make a successful business, or even an academic institution that is recognized for excellent outcomes, but to create a place where the families of international students will be befriended, supported and encouraged as important human beings who are welcomed into the ATMC family. At the completion of their ATMC studies our students will in turn go on to serve future generations. Making a positive difference throughout their professional careers in their countries of origin and elsewhere around the globe will be the 'hall mark' of their ATMC educational experience.

This little picture doesn't do the five-foot wing span of Craig Smith's X-Wing mailbox justice.
I made this so long ago, it is actually in need of weathering repairs and repainting. I never expected it to survive vandalism or theft for half a decade. But at five feet long and a five foot wingspan, theft would be quite difficult. Everybody from letter carriers to pizza delivery go out of their way to say how much they like it. There is a street about 10 miles away where older guys have a mailbox rivalry with custom car, firetruck and airplane mailboxes, I should mail them a photo.

Has anyone ever upgraded a server before? If so, I think that I may need help upgrading Windows 2000 Server to Windows 2003 Server.
I have basic questions like, "Is it hard to do? Does it take a long time? Am I suppose to upgrade the forest in Windows 2000 Server, before upgrading the OS? If so, how do I do that?"
I think that I'm just pretty nervous, as I am doing this for the first time and would hate to mess everything up. Could you help me or send me to a step-by-step website, explaining how to get job completed successfully?

Minister of Defence, Bello Haliru Mohammed
By Senator Iroegbu
The Minister of Defence, Dr. Bello Haliru Mohammed, has commiserated with the families of the victims of Thursday bombings of the Thisday newspapers office in Abuja and other media houses in Kaduna.
Mohammed in a statement signed by the Director Information, Press and Public Relations, Ministry of Defence; condemned the masterminds of the blasts and described the attack as wicked, cruel and cowardly acts.
He said that the blast were obvious signs of desperation by the terror gangs whose operations are being persistently dislodged by the professional conduct of the Nigerian Armed Forces and security agencies.
He said: "The war on terror is yielding results just as the terror gangs are losing ground. They are under the heat from our Armed Forces and security agencies. What we are seeing now are acts of desperation by the terror gangs. We won't relent."
In the same vein, ActionAid Nigeria has expressed its solidarity with the Nigeria media, especially This Day, The Sun and The Moment newspapers, journalists and other employees of the affected media houses in the April 26 bomb blasts.
According to the Country Director of the anti-poverty agency, Dr. Hussaini Abdu, the acts is a condemnable assault against free speech in the country
Abdu in a statement yesterday expressed shock at the attack on the media, which he described as "the only outlet for alternate view among the main realms of public governance".
He said: "The media has been the most reliable agent of the civil society that has kept faith with the people and its obligation to the civil society. We hereby call on the media and journalists all over the country not to be deterred in their continued role in helping this beleaguered nation chart its way out of the crises it has been pushed into by years of inefficient leadership."

Toolkit Tuesday: Does Your Nonprofit Need a Social Media Policy and How Do You Create One?
SparkFreedom had a webinar recently on what a social media policy is and why your non-profit might want to consider having one. Dave Buer of the Sutherland Institute and Sara Johnson of SparkFreedom discuss:


text:
Teri and John Banholzer, the owners of 653 St. Mary St., recently received the first Historic Preservation Award from Museum On Main for reconstructing their home to maintain the character of the neighborhood.
The Banholzers knew from the time they rented a 1915 bungalow on Second Street that they wanted to buy and restore a historic home.
"We looked at several houses on Second Street but the market was crazy then," recalled John.
Finally in 2000 they bought the house on St. Mary Street, which was built in 1906.
"It needed lots and lots of work," John said. "It was a rental property for close to 50 years and hadn't been well cared for. But we saw the potential, being in the midst of six turn-of-the-century houses right in a row."
The house was 1,300 square feet, but the quarter-acre lot meant it had room for a 700-square-foot addition plus a generous back yard.
"It wasn't as large and detailed as the other houses on the street," John explained. "It was a typical pretty simple turn-of-the-century house with two bedrooms, one bath. We added a second bath and a bigger kitchen -- we reformatted the back of the house."
They knew the house needed all new electrical and plumbing and rented a place to live around the corner on Pleasanton Avenue while they worked on the renovations. But when they started work, the project turned out to be much bigger than they'd thought.
"It didn't have gutters, and there was dry rot everywhere," John said. "It needed a whole new foundation."
They hired Pleasanton architect Charles Huff, who specializes in historic buildings, and contractor Bruce Trestrail.
"He shared my attention to detail," said John. "We worked really well together. He made it happen."
The house had a chimney but not a fireplace. They built a fireplace in the living room, constructing the mantle of the fireplace from redwood salvaged from the house.
"We raised the pitch of the roof and had to take all of the rafters off the roof," John recalled. "They were 100-year-old Douglas fir. We took that down and built the table in the kitchen. It's really a big farm table. It helps with the period look of the house."
They enlarged the porch to wrap around the side and meet the dining room with another door, in addition to the front door that opens into an entryway. Both doors were salvaged from older homes, and the front porch is made of tongue and groove from their own house.
"We were careful about reusing materials to reconstruct things," said John. "I couldn't stand to throw away any of that stuff."
They moved the original claw-foot bathtub into the master bathroom, and used one-inch octagonal black and white tiles in both bathrooms in keeping with the period.
The original home had a bedroom on either side of the bathroom, in "Jack-and-Jill style," but the Banholzers added a hallway, built at an angle, so each room could open off of it.
"The best remnant of the house is the original floor," John noted. "There is Douglas fir flooring throughout the house, except for one bathroom."
They added bay windows to the front spare room, which is used as a playroom, and the kitchen. The home has an unfinished second story with the staircase opening off the home's entryway.
The 10-foot ceilings also give the home its historic charm, John pointed out, and they added three-piece crown molding along the top. They also kept the old-fashioned wooden windows.
"I hand-painted 32 window sashes with a brush," John recalled. "Things took awhile but you don't get the look I wanted taking shortcuts."
The addition includes an expansive kitchen opening off a dining room that was the old kitchen.
Teri noted that they tried hard to match the old wooden floor in the former kitchen with that of the new kitchen.
"We left it out in the rain and everything," she remembered with a laugh.
She said it was her job to create the 1906 look in the new kitchen, which has all the modern conveniences. She worked with Crown Point Cabinetry, a specialist in New Hampshire.
"I sent the dimensions and pictures to the designer," Teri said, and the contractor reported that the cabinets came back a perfect fit.
The cabinetry is on legs, called furniture style, finished with milk paint for the historic off-white look. The kitchen has soapstone counters, and a farmhouse sink with an apron front.
By Thanksgiving 2001 the house was in good enough shape for the Banholzers to move in. Their daughter Sarah, now 8, was born the next February.
"When we moved in none of the landscaping was done," John recalled. "We put in the front lawn first."
A raised brick patio opens off the kitchen, with stairs leading to a lower patio with a built-in barbecue/kitchen. A smaller brick patio opens off the master bedroom.
"We laid about 10,000 bricks -- patios, walkways, driveways," John said, explaining that he collected them from old buildings and factories. "I was obsessive. I had multiple sources, and culled a few here and there."
The yard is a mixture of large old trees -- Monterey pine, Italian stone pine -- and copious plants with lawns in front and back.
"We took the approach of planting densely -- it's survival of the fittest," said John. "We built a garage, and it is period-detailed as well."
A long driveway has two brick runners that flank a planted center with elderberry ground cover, ivies and ornamental strawberries. It leads down the side of the house to the garage, which is outfitted with carriage doors. A loquat tree provides shade.
The Banholzers consulted with Robert Schweitzer from Eastern Michigan University, author of "Bungalow Colors: Exteriors," in picking the house's color, bunglehouse gray.
"I wanted to make sure we got just the right look," John said. "We've probably had 50 people knock on the door and ask the color."
Teri and John both grew up in bland houses, he said, she in Stockton and he in Kansas. As a teenager, he visited his sister in St. Louis, who lived in a house built in 1902.
"I started to pick up on different things," he recalled. "I actually used some of my memories of molding and trim in our house here."
Now the Banholzers enjoy living in the home and neighborhood plus they like their neighbors and the proximity to downtown.
"There aren't a whole lot of old homes in Pleasanton so people who have them are protective," John said. "We get the best compliments from our neighbors."
"The cool thing," he added, "is we had a vision and it really turned out."

Hospital Circular 05/2010
Date Issued: 29 January 2010
Distribution: Public and Private Hospitals
Subject: Activity Based Funding for additional costs associated with organ donation
Purpose: To advise hospitals of the new funding stream available to assist with addressing the additional costs associated with organ donation.
The Victorian Department of Health is working in partnership with the Australian Organ and Tissue Authority (the Authority) on the implementation of the Commonwealth Government's National Reform Package on Organ and Tissue Donation for Transplantation.
Since 1 July 2009, public and private hospitals participating in organ donation activity are eligible to receive funding to assist with addressing the additional costs associated with organ donation. This funding stream is known as "Activity Based Funding".
The Activity Based Funding model provides a simple and fair method of delivering supplementary funding across the spectrum of organ donation activity. It is a standard cost model providing funding contribution for donation activity paid at the same rate to all hospitals without regard to their location.
Payments will be made on a quarterly retrospective basis to eligible hospitals for verifiable organ donation activity.
To be eligible to receive funding, claim forms will need to be submitted to the Authority as payments will be made for a range of organ donation activities, not just actual organ donation. The necessary claim form is part of the data collection tool that has been designed to support Activity Based Funding. The Authority has distributed the organ donation activity data collection tool to the 24 Victorian hospitals with funded specialist staff for organ and tissue donation.
For further information about the funding and the claim process, visit the Organ & Tissue Donation website.

[Wait!…how the heck do you pronounce Mjölnir anyway? Watch a short video by Wiseman2024 on YouTube HERE. It's mee-uhl-neer for the impatient among us.]
Now Loki REALLY didn't want to lose the bet because his head was riding on it. Literally. So while the Brokkr brothers were slaving away over a hot, magical forge, Loki transformed himself into a gadfly. He bit Brokkr on the eyeball (ew) and as a result, Mjolnir's handle came out (gasp) a wee bit short. Since the hammer was nevertheless PHAT, Thor took delivery anyway and compensated by wearing iron gloves. (This goes to prove the axiom that it's not the size of the hammer that matters, but how you wield it.)
Since Loki lost the bet, you may very well wonder how he managed to keep his head. In typical Loki fashion, he weaseled out of the bet on a technicality. He claimed Brokkr couldn't take his head without also damaging his dainty neck (not part of the wager). Brokkr was hopping mad, and sewed Loki's lying pie-hole with wire so the trickster couldn't boast until the wire came out.
For Loki's next gig, he ran for political office.

Kidnapped from Earth and abandoned in Asgard of Norse mythology, Dani Avery must fight to return home. When she stumbles upon a band of outlaws, Prince Rein agrees to take her to the Rainbow Bridge personally. Although Dani is attracted to the handsome elf, his only interest seems to be in separating her from the magical sword and shield at her side. In Asgard City, rules, regulations and bureaucrats stymie Dani's quest. Increasingly frustrated and desperate, she seeks help among powerful immortals. Unfortunately, Dani becomes ensnared in a devious trap that may leave her stranded and alone in Asgard forever.
"Um…I was kidnapped from Midgard and I want to go home."
Suddenly all business, Heimdallr flipped opened a leather-bound journal. "I'll need to see your passport and travel documents," he said, picking up a pen from a desk set shaped like a rainbow. "Also, your Deed Completion Certificate."
"Er…I don't have any of that. Like I said, I was brought here against my will. Look, I have a little cash — and a universally accepted credit card. Do you think we can we work something out?"
Mr. H slammed the journal shut. "Sorry, but rules are rules. Try the Midgard Embassy. It's adjacent to Asgard City Commons. They'll exchange your fiat currency for gold, but I warn you the exchange rate is terrible."
After Mr. H gave her directions to Asgard City Commons, Dani was on the street again. She was tired, hungry — and slightly tearful. What the heck was she going to do if she couldn't get home?

74 Year-Old Woman Punched In The Face After Trying To Steal A Purse And Biting A Man
September 20, 2013 2:52 PM
Slacker Read More
A Michigan woman bit a man who was holding her down for the cops after she stole a purse…so he punched her in the face.
A 74-year-old woman was having lunch with her daughter when the younger woman rode up on her bike and swiped the purse. Three men stopped the woman and pinned her to the ground while they waited for the cops to show up.
One of the men, a lawyer, straddled her so she couldn't leave. That's when she decided to bite him in the arm. He responded by punching her in the face.
Cops showed up finally and arrested her for larceny and assault. The lawyer went to the hospital and got a tetanus shot. Cops aren't going to charge him for punching her. See what happen below:

Mom Accused in Toddler's Death Had Long History with ACS
A 29-year-old mother accused of killing her 2-year-old toddler had just regained custody of him and three of her other kids earlier this year.
Afriyie Gaspard allegedly strangled her son, Izayah, on Friday. She has been charged with first degree manslaughter.
According to a source familiar with the case, Gaspard had a long history of having her children removed by the city. In 2008, her three oldest children were put into foster care after she was accused of leaving them unattended on two different occasions. The oldest child at the time was three. In 2009, a fourth child was placed in foster care shortly after birth, as was Izayah, who was born in 2010. Gaspard's youngest child, an 11-month-old baby was not removed.
The source said Gaspard appeared to have been working to get her children back by complying with parenting classes, domestic violence counseling and anger management classes. Eventually, Izayah came home in March of this year and the four older kids were also returned to their mother in June.
The Administration for Children's Services said it wouldn't discuss the specifics of the case citing concern for the five surviving siblings, who are currently in foster care. The agency gave information on the typical process followed for children released back to their parents from foster care. ACS spokesman Michael Fagan said, "If a parent is working to improve the issues that brought their children into foster care and showing progress, then we work toward reunification."
A city official familiar with the case said there was no evidence of prior abuse and unplanned visits by caseworkers had occurred.
"Going from one child at home to six seems like a lot but I wouldn't want to second guess the caseworker," said Bill Baccaglini, who runs the Foundling, a local foster care agency. Baccaglini said in two-thirds of his cases, it's the foster care agency in conjunction with legal guardians for the children that decide whether to return children home. The remaining are usually court ordered.
He said typically when children return home, foster care caseworkers monitor the family for a period of three to six months.
Mike Arsham, with the Child Welfare Organizing Project, which advocates for parents involved in the child welfare system, said once children are returned home, there's often a gap in services and parents lose the help they were previously being provided.
"That's a really difficult point in time," Arsham explained. "Because often the scenario is I have no real bond with this child who was removed at birth and now he's in his terrible two's…It's difficult and stressful."
He says he often hears from parents who are afraid to tell caseworkers they're overwhelmed out of fear their children will once again be removed. "It's a tricky situation," Arsham said. "If they express trepidation the agency can say 'Well maybe you're just not ready to have them back.'"
It only took about five months for things to go wrong with Gaspard and Izayah. Prosecutors say she confessed to putting her hands around his neck for approximately one minute.
Gaspard's attorney, Edward Muccini, is questioning the videotaped confession, noting in several written statements his client told police her 8-year-old daughter had accidentally strangled Izayah before saying she committed the crime. "What happened in between, what caused her to change her mind," Muccini asked. "Did the police promise her something? Did the police threaten her? Did they coerce her? It does raise questions in my mind."
The Queens District Attorney's office, however, wouldn't comment on Gaspard's conflicting statements. Instead, a spokeswoman pointed to the medical examiner's report which found the child's injuries were consistent with death by strangulation.

Optimizing Forage Production with Legume/Grass Mixtures is the topic for Dr. Paul Peterson, University of Minnesota Extension Forage Specialist. Dr. Peterson's most recent research has assessed the potential of mixtures of alfalfa with different perennial grass options.
"My research on grasses, alfalfa and alternative legumes has focused on improving yield, forage quality, stand persistence, and crop economic value," Peterson says.
Dr. Russ Hahn of Cornell University will provide the latest information on forage crop weed management.
Climatologists with the Cornell University Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences will discuss how weather patterns affect crop production in Northern New York.
NNY Field Crops Team leader Joe Lawrence, a field crops educator with Cornell Cooperative Extension Lewis County, says, "Climate variability in general and in terms of Northern New York's microclimates is an increasingly important interest for North Country farms. These Crop Congresses will look at how crop yield and quality are impacted by expected weather and unexpected weather patterns each year and discussion on how farms can minimize this impact."
Cornell Cooperative Extension's NNY Farm Business Management Team educators will share methods for tracking the true cost of crops production.

Conservation, recycling efforts cut campus costs
By : Katie Ellis
Efforts to reduce energy consumption and preserve natural spaces continue on a daily basis at Binghamton University. Some of the efforts are more visible than others — recycling containers are everywhere; turn a light switch on or off and you're likely to see a reminder to be energy smart; electric vehicles most often referred to as "bubble cars" plug into a standard 110-volt outlet to charge and are now the norm on campus.
Bins across campus allow faculty, staff and students to pitch in with campus recycling efforts.
Bins across campus allow faculty, staff and students to pitch in with campus recycling efforts.
Other efforts are not as visible, including the reorganization of the Faculty Senate Committee for the University Environment (CUE), approved by the Faculty Senate in June 2003. Now a joint Faculty Senate-Administration committee, CUE is charged with preserving and enhancing the quality of the University environment. Chaired by Julian Shepherd, associate professor of biological sciences, and co-chaired by Anthony Ferrara, vice president for administration, CUE is focusing on four areas: energy, transportation, natural areas and recycling waste.
"Our larger goal is to implement the campus environmental policy and look at its ramifications," Shepherd said. "Then we can talk about it and make recommendations."
In response to requests from the Binghamton Metropolitan Transportation Study (BMTS) for comment on current plans to remodel the Vestal Corridor, CUE is seeking input on ways to reduce traffic to and from campus.
"The BMTS has appealed to us for information," said Shepherd. "We're looking at recommendations to pass along to them — perhaps for car pooling, enhanced access to buses for faculty and staff — possibilities like that." To lower the number of cars coming to campus as well as emissions from vehicles, CUE is considering recommendations as varied as offering free parking for car pool vehicles, lower parking charges for hybrid cars, use of ride-match software, advocacy for bicycle paths and racks or the possibility of free passes for BC Transit and OCC Transport buses.
Other not-so-visible efforts by the campus to better manage energy costs — which average $24,000 a day — include hiring staff to coordinate conservation and recycling efforts and the constant refining of an energy management system for buildings.
Juliet Berling, environmental resource manager, knows the value of recycling. "About 20 percent of our waste on campus — 400 tons — was recycled last year," she said. "With the cost to haul trash away at $40 a ton, I hope to see the tonnage of recycled materials grow."
This year, Berling is focusing on getting students to recycle through the establishment of an aggressive program in residence halls. "There's a lot of interest in it," she said. "It's been very positive."
The energy management system, which now includes more than 28,000 sensors in campus buildings, allows staff to monitor and control building temperatures and mechanical equipment. Additional efforts, such as conversion of hot water heaters and dryers from electricity to gas, also save the campus money. One such conversion of hot water boosters for dishwashers in Hinman, CIW and Dickinson communities last summer is estimated to save $32,000 annually.

Masamichi Ito of Japan claimed the third Faldo Series title of his career with victory in The R&A supported sixth Asia Grand Final at Mission Hills Golf Club in China. The 16-year-old fired a final round 67 on the Faldo Course to win by three, adding to the Asia and Europe titles he won in 2010.
"I am so happy to win again," said an emotional Ito on receiving his trophy from the six-time Major Champion. "My two Faldo Series wins in 2010 created so much opportunity for me so to win a third time is unbelievable. I am just so happy."
"Masamichi beat our largest ever field and fully deserves his third Faldo Series title," commented Faldo. "All the players will benefit from the experience this week. I hope they enjoyed themselves, I certainly did!"
"I am grateful to our partners, including Mission Hills, The R&A, ISPS and UFL," added the former world number one. "It is this kind of support which allows us to provide opportunity for the finalists this week and to more than 7,000 young golfers annually in 27 countries worldwide."
Kanagawa-born Ito opened with three birdies and an eagle to stun overnight leader Kohei Kinoshita.
He went on to reach ten under par and finish three ahead of his compatriot while 20-year-old Mai Aria ensured a double for Japan by claiming the Faldo Series Asia girls' title.
Guan Tian Lang from Guangzhou claimed the inaugural Mission Hills Trophy as the highest-placed finisher from mainland China. The 13-year-old will now join Ito and Aria at the Europe Grand Final in Northern Ireland later this year.
Also celebrating victory in their age-group and a place in the 2012 Europe Grand Final at Lough Erne Resort in September were Cahyo Adhitomo from Indonesia (Boys' Under-21), Singapore's Joshua Ho (Boys' Under-18) and Nur Durriyah Damian of Malaysia (Girls' Under-16).

National Capacity-Building Project
Guide to Services
Welcome to the National Capacity Building Project's Guide to Services, which highlights resources and activities we are offering this year. We're funded by the Office of Refugee Resettlement, through the Torture Victims Relief Act, to provide technical assistance and specialized training to torture survivor rehabilitation programs and organizations in the United States. In the Guide, you can find information on our webinars, annual institute, available remote and on-site consultations, program evaluation, self-assessment, online courses and publications, and contact details of domestic rehabilitation centers.
- Check out our list of important dates (left side of this page).
- Consult with NCB staff or one of our experts.
- Learn about webinar topics for 2015.
- Find out how to contact your colleagues at other SoT programs.
We at the NCB Project are looking forward to continuing our work with you this year, and we welcome your thoughts and suggestions on how we can better support you in your important work of helping torture survivors heal.
Guide to Services Summary
Needs Assessment for Survivors of Torture Programs
(See pages 3-4) By engaging in self-assessment and using internal data to determine areas for improvement, Survivors of Torture (SoT) programs can engage in continuous quality improvement. (SoT programs are torture rehabilitation centers who provide direct services to survivors and are either funded by the Office of Refugee Resettlement or are members of the National Consortium of Torture Treatment Programs.) The Organizational Self-Assessment Matrix is a tool for determining priority areas for capacity-building on an annual basis. A program's technical assistance plan can suggest topics for NCB training institutes and webinars, or for outside resources. An Excel version of the Matrix is available here.
(See page 5) Torture treatment staff is encouraged to contact NCB by phone or email for consultations or referrals on any issue related to the rehabilitation of torture survivors. We can help to identify challenges and provide recommendations on any aspect of an organization. We can help to identify challenges and provide recommendations on any aspect of an organization. We can also help to connect one center with a peer center that has the particular expertise that is being sought. NCB staff and contracted consultants are experienced in the following: curricular design and development, direct services with torture survivors, evaluation and research, statistics, financial sustainability, organizational development and governance, social work, psychology, immigration law, continuous quality improvement, e-learning, and training and conference logistics.
(See page 5) The Project offers a listserv called Heal_Torture_Talk for all participating program staff, boards, and other community providers associated formally with NCB-eligible programs. The listserv provides a means for torture treatment professionals to share successes, resources, and questions for colleagues. It is also the primary means to find out about upcoming NCB webinars and institutes. We also welcome your advice and suggestions on future training. The listserv membership is now more than 350 individuals, and includes a wide range of job titles and clinical specialties. There are also a few invited "friends of the torture treatment field" who participate as well. We strongly encourage all SoT staff to join this, as it is our primary means of communicating with you and of knowledge-sharing. To join, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Annual Training Institute
(See pages 7-8) This year the Project will organize a 2.5 day training institute. The proposed topic is sustainability and was determined by needs in the field and ORR priorities. Eligible SoT programs may send one participant (appropriate to the target audience) per institute, with lodging and per diem costs covered by the Project, for up to 35 participants. (Registration and flights will need to be paid by the participants' agencies.) Additional participants may attend as space is available, using individual agency funds. Venues for institutes change from year to year.
Online and Blended Learning Training
(See page 9) Live educational webinars are offered monthly. Webinars are usually scheduled on the third Wednesday of the month, from 1-2 pm, Central Time. Topics and expert presenters are determined by input from participating programs, the Advisory Group, and ORR program staff. Topics should also advance NCB's project objectives and capacity-building priorities. There is no charge for staff of eligible programs to attend. Webinars are recorded and archived on HealTorture.org, where they can be viewed by a wider audience. They are advertised via the NCB listserv. We welcome ideas for topics or presenters; please contact Ann Lundberg, Logistics & Communications Coordinator, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Fundamentals of Providing Services for Torture Survivors
(See pages 9-10) This nine-week, 30-hour online course aims to teach core competencies of providing holistic services to staff new to working with torture survivors. This course combines nine online modules, online discussions, individual coaching from the instructor, and each participant has an individual mentor during the course. It is limited to 20 participants, and each are designated by their program's leadership to attend. Fundamentals is designed to supplement the training and orientation of staff or community partners that is done by each program specific to its respective model, philosophy, policies, and procedures. Please direct questions to Beth Scudder, Website and E-Learning Coordinator, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Tax Liens
What You Should Know
A tax lien is the government's way to secure its interest in your assets and facilitate collection of your tax liability. After a lien is properly filed, the government has a right to all of your property, as well as any property or rights to property you acquire thereafter. Once its interest in your property is secured, the government can levy or seize your property as a means of collection. In addition to the prospect of a levy or seizure, taxpayers will often witness a significant decline in their credit score and an increase in difficulty in obtaining a loan or line of credit.
How We Can Help
Although tax liabilities and tax liens often go hand-in-hand, we will help you determine if a lien has been filed, and if not, we will explain what you need to do to prevent one from being filed. In certain circumstances, the government will allow a payment arrangement or a tax settlement without the need for a lien filing. In situations where a lien has already been filed, relief may be granted via a request for a lien discharge or a subordination of the lien under certain conditions. You will also be advised if you qualify for a lien release under the new IRS Fresh Start program. In all cases regarding IRS tax liens, we will ensure your taxpayer rights are protected and, if necessary, file an appeal on your behalf before or after a lien is filed. As former IRS Officers and IRS Auditors, we know how the IRS works and how to protect you and your assets. Request a FREE consultation with our ex-IRS agents here.

Since drastically curtailing our cable television, Kris and I have been catching shows via Netflix and the iTunes Music Store. We currently watch Heroes, Battlestar Galactica, and The Office. What one show should we add to the mix? I'd prefer a comedy, but Kris would prefer a drama.
Meanwhile, here are a few stories about personal finance:
To begin, two recent guest posts at Money-Saving Mom caught my eye. First, Katey offers advice on living frugally and pleasantly in an apartment. A couple of these (trash out every day?) seem odd, but most are smart ways to make the most of a small space. Second, Michelle has some tips on how to make your own household cleaners.
Next, Paul sent an article from The New York times about how the economic woes of their parents are affecting teenagers. This story makes me feel out of touch. "National surveys put older teenagers' average monthly allowance at $100 and upward." Really? Really? I was lucky to ever get five bucks. And the stuff kids want, their knowledge of brands and prices — wow, was I like that when I was in high school?
Finally, via Jeff, The Wall Street Journal has four smart money moves for a down economy. Three of these seem obvious — create a budget, eliminate debt, boost your credit score — but the fourth is more subtle, and is a great idea: convert your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. When you perform this conversion, you owe income tax on every dollar you roll over. Because of recent market declines, you probably have fewer dollars to roll over, and thus would owe less in taxes. If you qualify, this may be worth considering.

Always fun when a local biz gets national attention! Anyone going to this? Doors open at 7 on Sunday, and there will be food, cupcakes and entertainment. Good luck, Coccadotts.
Cupcake party (and you're invited)
9 Responses
Just wondering if the fact that this is being promoted with 3 parties means that maybe, just maybe, they won …. Otherwise, why promote the episode? :-)
Hoping that the owner was humble this time around!!
Aren't there enough wars going on already?
I love Coccadotts cupcakes and wish nothing but the best for them. Good luck Coccadotts!
While they are not the best cupcakes in town (my opinion), good for them. I just hope the owner was much more truthful and classy on camera this time around.
I'm with #2!
The cupcakes at Make Me A Cake Next Door in Delmar are a million times better!
interesting–3 parties suggests success on the TV show–a much better outcome that the last time where arrogance and immaturity killed the local effort.
Perhaps this time….
Ha @ Jeff. I'm with you, man. Let's have a cupcake lovefest instead of a war. Make cupcakes! Not war…

Officials: Israel 'Glad' to See Iran Rejecting US Demands
Israel: Obama 'Forced to Toughen Sanctions'
Israeli officials are reporting in the domestic media that they are pleased to see that Iran has rejected President Obama's demands, saying that "as far as Israel is concerned, the Iranian response is good."
President Obama has demanded that Iran abandon the entirety of its civilian nuclear program, and agree to "surrender" all of its nuclear fuel. Iranian officials have termed the demands "irrational."
The Israeli officials expressed hope that once the talks are held next weekend and quickly fail, President Obama will use it as an excuse for more sanctions, saying "if Obama sees he's being challenged he will be forced to toughen the sanctions in an unequivocal manner."
Officially, Israel has insisted that it will accept the Western members of the P5+1's position at the bargaining table with Iran. Obama's sudden demands, however, point to Israel taken a proactive approach in recruiting the US to sabotage the talks.

The very existence of these 'talks" are a farce. You can't "negotiate" with the empire because they don't believe in it. They come in and make demands, if you don't agree, then they destroy your country…end of story.
To hell with it, lets kill millions of Iranian, Israelis, Iraqis, Saudis, Jordanians, Turkish, Afghanis, Pakistanis, people in Africa and whomever is in Israel or US ways disagreeing with their militarization of the world, To hell with it, let the world to be destroyed, after all who cares, pretty soon US is going to be in Marsh, or Moon or some other planet starting the same shitttttttte again anyway.
It all about Israel
The Iranians have long figured out the FedGov-Zionist tactic of " good cop, bad cop." Regardless of the tone of the "offers to negotiate," regardless of the "promises," the cops' common objective is always the same: elimination of the means of national independence followed by regime change. It's high time for the rest of us to understand that any apparent tactical differences between the FedGov and the Zionists are merely part of the lying propaganda – er, I mean "narrative" – of the anti-Iranian agenda.
had a scrap once with a CFL linebacker, the guy behind him kept mouthing off, israel reminds me of the guy behind.
Israel is a Zionist warmongering rogue state populated mostly by Communists from Russia who have NO relationship to the Israelites of the Old Testament – or do they?
Maybe what Iran needs to do is launch a preemtive attack on Israel?
Maybe what the world needs to do is to attack Israel which is the source of all of the warmongering in the Middle East.
Both Israel and America are being run by gangsters and war criminals.
It wouldn't make a bit of difference even if Iran was so stupid as to voluntarily give up all of it's nuclear fuel, and renounce ever to use nuclear power for civilian use. The US-Israeli mob would still want to use it's weaponry to destroy Iran. You can't just let the military hardware sit on shelves, you know.
And how else to keep americans employed, if not in the manufacture of weapons of death and destruction. They can't seem to build anything else for peaceful purposes.
Israel: Licking its chops at the prospect of war. They will be dancing with joy on Mt. Sderot when the blood begins to flow. This is the picture they are painting with their threats and plots. A lot of American preachers will be thrilled at this carnage too. They too are haranguing for war from their pulpits. Their dream/nightmare of Armageddon will finally be fulfilled, the rapture and all the other delusions of piety only a war away, a war that can be so easily launched since American politicians have no power over the strings that control them and can be made to dance to the mad tunes of war and destruction.

Robert C. Place, 91, of Dalton Estates, West Carthage, passed away March 6th at the residence of Hospice of Jefferson County at the Ellis Farm, Watertown.
Robert was born August 16, 1921 in Arkville, New York, son of Ray and Edith Joslin Place. He graduated from Downsville High School.
He married Jeanne Stalker, daughter of O.C. Stalker and Anna Lord Stalker on April 5, 1942 at St. Marys Episcopal Church in Downsville at a service performed by Father Herman Smith.
A World War II veteran, Robert received three battle stars while serving with the Army Air Corp. He was stationed in England as a radio operator, flying gas and ammunition supplies into France and Germany. Following the war, Robert was stationed in Casablanca, assigned to the Air Transport Command, bringing troops back to the United States, flying down to Dakar, Africa and over to Natal, Brazil. He was discharged January 16, 1946 at Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts.
Mr. Place and his wife came to Carthage in 1946, working with his father-in-law, O.C. Stalker, who was President of the family business, Braman Manufacturing Co. Inc. At the time, Bramans was one of the largest producers of hardwood brush blocks and handles, which were then sold to companies to make industrial and household brooms and paint brushes. The company also produced map rollers and moldings for Rand McNally Map. Co. and the U.S. Department of Interior. Following the death of Mr. Stalker in 1970, Robert became President of Bramans, while Jeanne served as Vice President. The company was eventually sold to All American Brush Co. Inc., Newark, New Jersey, and Robert managed the business until his retirement in 1986, when the couple would then spend winters in Lake Placid, Florida.
While in Carthage, Mr. Place helped shape his community, serving on committees that determined the current locations of the Carthage Central School campus and Carthage Area Hospital.
Mr. Place was a licensed funeral director, graduating from Simmons School of Embalming in Syracuse, working with his father at the Ray Place Funeral Director and Ambulance Service in Downsville, NY. He was also a licensed pilot and enjoyed flying. Mr. Place enjoyed softball and baseball, and in June 1939 played in the game that opened the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY.
Robert also enjoyed hunting, fishing, boating, golfing, local history and genealogy. He had been a member of Carlowden Country Club, Carthage Rotary Club, Carthage F & AM Lodge and Fairview Cemetery Assoc. He was on the advisory board of Lewis County Trust Co. and its successors, St. Lawrence and Community Banks. He was a member of Grace Episcopal Church and served on the vestry. Mr. Place was a life member of both the Carthage American Legion Post #789 and Carthage Elks Lodge #1762.
Robert is survived by his wife, 3 daughters; Roberta (Mrs. Arnett) Church, Pamela Cole and Paula (Mrs. Dale) DeLong as well as 5 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren and 3 great-great grandchildren. He was predeceased by his sister Dorothy, brothers Gerald and Ray, and son-in-law Donn H. Cole.
There are no calling hours or services. Burial at Fairview Cemetery will be at the convenience of the family with a prayer service at the time of interment. Arrangements are with the Bezanilla-McGraw Funeral Home. To leave a condolence, go to www.bezanillafh.com.
With deep gratitude and respect, the family requests donations be made to Hospice of Jefferson County at the Ellis Farm, 1398 Gotham Street, Watertown, NY. 13601.

ADA, Mich. (WZZM) -- Amway will kick off construction of a new manufacturing plant next week, bringing 200 jobs to Ada over three years.
The $81 million facility will produce an estimated 4.3 billion NUTRILITE tablets and soft gel capsules each year. The 317,000 square foot building will be part of a seven-site, $375 million global manufacturing expansion.
"We are very excited that Amway selected Michigan as the site for expansion of the NUTRILITE Plant. They will be going into an existing facility they have in Ada Township. We are very excited about this because competition was tough for this one," said Therese Thill, vice president of Business Development for The Right Place.
Thill says Michigan was 10th out of 11 potential sites, including some in the mid-west and southeast United States as well as California.
"This is really a project where all of us pulled together in order to make a very successful business case for Amway in order to get some incentives from the state," she said. "Luckily their headquarters is here and they have an existing facility. That, as well as a very aggressive incentive package ($1.6 million) from the state and local community."
Leaders from Amway and the community will celebrate the start of construction by signing a steel beam. The event will take place at 10 a.m. at the Amway manufacturing facility located at 5101 Spaulding Avenue in Ada.

Siegler Discusses Fake Stash Houses on WBEZ's Morning Shift
Federal sting operations that lure suspects into robbing fictional drug "stash houses" may be biased in their targeting of racial minorities. Nearly 100 people have been charged with these crimes in the Chicago area in the last eight years and only eight of those people arrested were white. That's according to a case going in front of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. University of Chicago's Federal Criminal Justice Clinic, in collaboration with the Federal Defender's Office for the Northern District of Illinois, is arguing a federal judge's ruling that the fake stash house operations could be unfairly targeting minorities. Professor Alison Siegler is arguing the case on behalf Federal Criminal Justice Clinic, and she has more details.
