University access; your right to privacy
The University's right to access files
All contents in storage on University and University-contracted data and voice systems are subject to the rules of Princeton University, including the University's ability under certain circumstances to access, restrict, monitor and regulate the systems that support and contain them. In general, and subject to applicable law, the University reserves the right to access and copy files and documents (including e-mail and voice messages) residing on University-owned equipment, systems, and in storage contracted by the University from outside enterprises. This includes access without notice, where warranted. Non-intrusive monitoring of campus network traffic occurs routinely, to assure acceptable performance and to identify and resolve problems. If problem traffic patterns suggest that system or network security, integrity, or performance has been compromised, networking and monitoring systems staff will investigate and protective restrictions may be applied until the condition has been rectified.
Some departments that maintain servers or internal networks may collect usage data and may monitor such servers or networks to ensure adequate technical performance. Departments that collect such data are expected to protect the privacy of those using the resources. It is also important to note that the University may be required to produce such data in compliance with a valid subpoena or court order.
The University also provides some access to files and documents residing on University-owned equipment and systems (and/or transmitted via the University's network services) to outside vendors who have been contracted with to provide technology services. The University contracts with such vendors contain firm provisions for security of information and for the privacy of members of the University community who may use those services.
Degrees of privacy
Students, for whom the University effectively is a residence during the academic year, normally are afforded a high degree of privacy. University employees, who are provided with the use of University resources for work-related purposes, are afforded a lesser degree of privacy. For example, employees may be directed to share certain work files and information with others or to make a computer account accessible to a supervisor to assure effective backup or execution of the work when no other practical means exist for sharing the needed information readily and securely. In the event that business-related files (including e-mail and digitized voice messages) stored on an employee's account or workstation must be accessed, whether because of unexpected absence, death, or termination of employment, or other necessity, such files may be accessed by the employing department after consultation with the Office of Human Resources, Office of Dean of the Faculty, Office of Dean for Research, and/or Department of Public Safety, as appropriate and based on business need. On employee termination, supervisors are expected to assure that passwords to computers, other networked devices, and accounts are obtained and changed if the work of the unit requires access to data or resources previously managed by the employee, and that copies of critical work product remain available following the employee's separation from the University.
Others' files
If you are a supervisor who has access to an employee's files or e-mail, or have been designated by a supervisor to access another employee's files or e-mail, you should be careful to avoid reading personal items that may be stored in the same area. For example, upon learning that an e-mail or voice mail message is personal, and not business-related, the supervisor or designee should immediately exit the file or message. The supervisor or designee should be careful to avoid examining any personal information the University may provide to the employee via password access, such as benefits or payroll data. When an employee leaves the University, the employee normally should be given the opportunity to remove any personal files or e-mail from University computers and other University-owned networked devices before departure. Departing employees are not entitled to remove, destroy or copy any of the business-related documents entrusted to their care or created by them during their employment, unless otherwise permitted by the University. The University's record retention policy also must be observed. See University Records Management at www.princeton.edu/records. Where the Office of the General Counsel has issued a "Legal Hold Notice," individuals may be required to suspend regular retention practices and to retain information until further notice from the Office of the General Counsel, including after an employee's departure from the University.
In addition to information you may store on devices owned by the University, the University and its contractors maintain certain system backups and logs of e-mail and network transactions. If the University is presented with a valid subpoena or court order requiring that such information be produced (or preserved), or directing that the University assure that its employees produce (or preserve) such information, the University may be bound by law to comply. Similarly, the University also may be obligated to disclose the identity of an account-holder or identity of the person who owns a computer or other registered network device, is responsible for a University-owned computer or networked device, or holds a University-assigned account used in some electronic transaction. Contact the Office of General Counsel prior to disclosing any information in response to any subpoenas, court orders or other information requests from private litigants and government agencies.
Supervisors are encouraged to communicate the University's expectations regarding privacy of employee files and e-mail, and to remind employees of these expectations periodically. Supervisors also are expected to take prompt action to retrieve or preserve employee files needed to continue the work of the department when an employee is about to separate from the University.

Poll: They're studying harder to be prepared for workplace
Students who said that getting a job was a "very important" reason to attend college.
Faced with a weak economy, college freshmen are studying harder than ever to prepare themselves for the workplace, says a major nationwide survey that UC Los Angeles does each year of students who are beginning their college careers.
Eighty-eight percent of the more than 192,000 students in the survey said that getting a job was a "very important" reason to attend college. It was the highest percentage in the history of the survey, which now involves students at 283 four-year schools, including the University of California San Diego. It was also the first time that students placed career prospects ahead of gaining a general education and an appreciation for ideas.
The so-called Freshman Survey — managed by UCLA's Cooperative Institutional Research Program, or CIRP — is considered to be an important snapshot of the roughly 1.5 million first-time, full-time students who entered college last fall. The results of last year's study were released recently.
In addition to an intense focus on gaining job skills, the survey found that freshmen are asking more questions, learning more from their mistakes and evaluating more sources of information than they ever have before — all three of which are key predictors of academic achievement. The researchers also found that more incoming freshmen are feeling overwhelmed by the pressure of starting college.
The findings didn't surprise some students at UCSD.
"A lot of my older cousins went to college here and the way they've described the campus is very different from the way it seems to me now," said Hussain Jaffri, an 18-year-old freshman who is studying physiology and neuroscience. "It's not all about partying anymore."
Jaffri also said that he is more anxious about his career than his cousins were at his age, mostly because employment is now harder to come by.
"In the past, you could go to college and have that be enough to get a good job," Jaffri said. "But that's just not the case anymore.
Still, I'm confident that if I study hard and work at it, I'll be able to support my family someday. That's why I'm here."
Shubham Agrawal, a freshman studying biochemistry and cell biology, agreed. He intends to go to medical school and said that his career comes first.
"If you asked me why I'm getting an education generally, (it's) for a stable future, to provide for my family," Agrawal said.
He isn't alone. Agrawal said he has noticed more of his peers studying and speaking out in class, observations that reflect CIRP's findings.
"You have to study a lot to do well here," Agrawal said. "And participation is really big. I've noticed that a lot of hands are raised in my sociology class, for example, much more than I was used to in high school. Everyone's determined."
Timothy Choi, 18, had considered becoming a painter. But he changed his mind, deciding to study computer science at UCSD, which seems more likely to provide him with a stable career.
"I think I will come to like it someday, but right now I feel overwhelmed by the work," Choi said.
Agrawal also said that he struggled with the workload when he first came to UCSD. However, unlike Choi, he said that he has been able to adapt relatively quickly to the pressure.
"If you had handed me a survey last quarter, my answers would have been different," Agrawal said. "Now that a quarter has passed, I feel more settled, confident and optimistic."

So I'm going to have to starve my baby boy.
OK, starve is too harsh of a word. Rather, I'm going to have to tough love Ryan, who turns 2 in May.
Loyal MOMfo readers may recall this post, written six months ago. In it, I described my struggles with getting Ryan to eat anything other than baby food from a jar, yogurt, applesauce and crackers (graham and goldfish, for instance).
Well, not much has changed since the fall. Oh wait. I take it back. He loves ice-cream cones from McDonald's, so much so that any time we see a road sign for McD's or drive past the fast-foodie place, which seems like all of the time, Ryan flails in his seat, squealing "oooh, oooh, ooooh" and shaking with excitement.
The McDonald's sightings have become so frenzied that sometimes I'll take an out-of-the-way route just to avoid passing the Golden Arches.
Allow me to confess even more about my growing boy's terrible eating habits: He tried daddy's McD fries and his sister's Happy Meal chicken nuggets and apple slices, and he liked it, he liked it. Ryan liked it.
I congratulated myself for getting him to eat regular people food–albeit McDonald's, which, I must note, we do not go to a lot. I realize it must sound like we do, but we don't. Only every now and then, as a treat.
And the ice-cream cones? During the summer, instead of getting a high-priced cone at an ice-cream parlor such as Coldstone Creamery, we'd get one for .85 cents at McD's.
Anyway, back to Ryan eating at the fast food restaurant that is often credited with making Americans fat and unhealthy: So I'm thinking I made a breakthrough because Ryan will eat McD's apple slices and chicken nuggets. At home the next day, I cut an apple, made some chicken nuggets and served them to Ryan for lunch.
He responded by shaking his head "no" and screaming as if I'm asking him to eat fish guts or something equally gross.
By the way, this is how he reacts when I put other food on his plate such as part of a banana or a piece of toast or a cheese cube or, God forbid, a noodle.
Often, for his grand finale, he'll toss off his high chair the offending piece of food as well as his sippy cup and any nearby utensils or toys.
And, yes, I've kept offering him food because the gurus say it can take up to a dozen times before a child will try something. But I've been offering since he was nine months.
At first his pediatrician wasn't that worried. Ryan is tall and roughly 30 pounds. He's strong and active and curious and thriving. He also smiles, giggles and babbles that people frequently ask me: Is he always this happy?
Some kids, the doctor told me, take longer to transition to regular food. Baby food and yogurt are nutritious, the doctor said, plus Ryan takes a multivitamin.
But last week, I took a feverish, fussy Ryan to the doctor's office, where he was diagnosed with a double ear infection. Since his next appointment isn't until his two-year well check-up in May, and I'm losing my patience and am beyond stressed with Ryan's eating, I sought the doctor's advice:
"You're right,"* he said. "Ryan is too old for baby food. Here's what you do: You stop buying it. You pick a weekend when both you and your husband are home. If possible, you find someone to watch Zoe (his older sister) so you can focus on Ryan. And you give him some tough love."
Which means?
"You offer him only what you and your family are eating. If he throws his food, or screams, or doesn't eat, fine. At the next meal, you offer him whatever you're eating. Again, he might not eat. He might cry for two hours. But he will not let himself starve."
Oh, goody, I can hardly wait for this weekend of Hell.
But, honestly, the worst part is that I am mad at myself for letting it get this far.
I feel that in other mothering moments, I am consistent with my kids and I hold my ground. Sure, I might let them make messes but that's because I'm OK with it. I pick my battles. And for the most part, my kids listen and are well-behaved.
But with Ryan, I caved. The truth is that I have lost my patience with feeding him. I thought he'd outgrow his picky-eating ways, and the thought of starving my baby makes me want to cry. Plus, when he starts screaming and throwing food, I feel like I'm going to lose it. I just cannot take it any more.
So I've allowed him to eat baby food. I gave in, which most parenting experts would say is the wrong thing to do because Ryan knows all he has to do is take his fussing up a notch, and I'll eventually give him what he wants.
But no more. I'm going to heed the tough-love advice from our pediatrician and an occupational therapist (who has not evaluated Ryan but gave me general advice). If Ryan holds his ground and continues to reject regular food, I will not starve him; instead, I'll call our school district for a sensory evaluation (although I do not think this is the problem, since Ryan will put his hand in his applesauce, Play-Doh and other textures; also, he has no trouble eating foods he wants (such as McD's chicken nuggets)
Have you ever bent the rules because you could not take the crying, the whining, the needling, the bad behavior, or whatever it was that drove you crazy? How do you balance discipline with sanity?
Also, do you believe in crying it out, CIO, whether it's for better sleep or better nutrition?
* The quotes from our pediatrician are paraphrased, since I didn't take notes during our appointment

Off camera flashes

Re: Off camera flashes
Generally speaking, set the Yong. flash to slave mode, and make sure the Metz flash is NOT in an FP mode(if it has that option) on the E-620. You may have to experiment to find the best sync speed for the two flashes.
To use an example, using an improvised setup like this I had to set a camera to 1/60 in order for all the flashes and the camera to sync up. Radio triggers with built in hot shoes triggers tend to be faster to sync, but you will still probably be limited to 1/160 or 1/180.

The home opener for the Quad Cities Football Club NPSL team will take on historic significance as they host the Blau-Weiss Wiehre Football Club from Freiburg, Germany, at 6 p.m., Wednesday, May 22, at the Davenport Soccer Complex, 8991 North Division Street, Davenport, Iowa.
Tickets are available on the Quad City Eagles website or at the game. Ticket prices are $7 for Adults, $5 for kids 10-14 and children 9 and under are free with a parent.
This is an unprecedented event as is believed to be the first time the Quad Cities has hosted an international soccer match at this level, according to Eagles General Manager Jeff Varner.
Blau-Weiss Wiehre FC is currently second in their division standings and is trying to gain promotion to the next higher level in the German soccer system.
Promotion is a scenario that many American sports fans are unfamiliar with. In Europe and many other countries, teams have the ability to be promoted to higher level levels by finishing at or near the top of their league. It would be like the River Bandits making it to Double A, Triple A, or even the Major Leagues.
The Freiburg contingent is being hosted by a number of Quad City area families and members of the German American Heritage Center in Davenport, Iowa. The German American Heritage Center highlights the proud German heritage in the Quad Cities and features many exhibits and displays showcasing the plight and triumphant quest of German immigrants to the early QC area.

Istanbul, one of the largest cosmopolitan cities in the world, is Turkey's cultural capital. The city is a fascinating mix of ancient and modern. This gateway between Asia and Europe, is also popularly known as "the second Rome" as it is steeped in more than a thousand years of history. A visit to the beautiful city is necessary to delve into the fantastic history, culture, and beauty of the current day Turkey and the old Ottoman Empire. It reflects images from its past and present in full glory and is proud of its invaluable possessions.
The city was earlier known as Byzantium and Constantinople. At present, it is home to large number of museums, churches, palaces, mosques, and bazaars. With the help of our Istanbul City Guide, you will be able to explore some of its famous attractions including the Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Byzantine Hippodrome, Yildiz Palace, Chora Church, Museum of the Ancient Orient, St. Irene Museum, Museum of Turkish and Islamic Art, Suleymaniye Mosque, Rustem Pasha Mosque, Obelisk and more. St. Irene Museum is an erstwhile Eastern Orthodox Church located in the Topkapi Palace premises in the city. This is a popular tourist attraction and reminds travelers of the mixed cultures cohabiting in harmony with each other. It serves as a museum on all days except Mondays. On the other hand, Rustem Pasha Mosque is a monument of religious and historical importance in the city. The mosque was built in the year 1563 and is a living testimony to the meticulous architecture during the Ottoman Empire.
The spring season from April to June is the ideal time to visit Istanbul. Most of the tourists also visit during the autumn season in the months of September through November. The weather is pleasant during these times. The city looks beautiful on the outside. When in town, travelers must explore the beauty and richness of the city. Strolling, shopping, or indulging into adventure, there are many different ways to make the most of the time in the gorgeous Istanbul.
Treat yourself to typical Turkish cuisines in the many restaurants. Visit the Sultanahmet area, where you will find a number of restaurants in restored Byzantine and Ottoman buildings. For savoring Turkish specialties and the Turkish drink called raki, head to the narrow Nevizade Street, near Cicek Pasaji. However, the best-known restaurants in the city include Cipriani Istanbul, Sunset Grill & Bar, Nupera, Milka, Gaja Restaurant, Feriye Lokantasi, Asitan Restaurant, Maiden's Tower, X Restaurant & Bar, Muzedechanga, and Changa.
Istanbul Atatürk Airport handles many international airlines offering cheap flights as well as business class flights to Istanbul. Major airlines serving the city include Turkish Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Continental Airlines, US Airways, Virgin Atlantic Airways, British Airways, and Air France from different parts of the world.
There is no dearth of cheap hotels in Istanbul. Visit areas like Harbiye, Sultanahmet and Taksim on the European side to find affordable places of stay. One can easily find a suitable accommodation at discounted prices in one of these neighborhoods.

See icon.
The victims' surcharge doesn't go to the victims, but some sort of fund that is supposed to help victims indirectly.
In fact I read somewhere that as fines have to be linked to ability to pay, magistrates were reducing them by £15 and adding the £15 surcharge.
is that there is a victim surcharge for offences where there is no victim involved
'Boyf' wtf?
Kill him. kill him NOW - the b4st4rd.
No mercy, no forgiveness - kill him.
Maybe THEN these shitters will start to realise that some things are UNACCEPTABLE.
On what grounds do you suggest the death sentence?
Beneath his chair?
enhancing the gene pool?
getting rid of a bottom-feeding ambulance chaser who profts from other people's misery?
"The ICO will always pursue prosecutions where individuals breach both their duty of confidentiality and the Data Protection Act" - but where companies are concerned, the ICO hasn't got the balls to do anything.
This is just speculation, of course, but it could be that the ICO doesn't think it's worth wasting taxpayer money getting a couple thousand pounds in fines and damages out of a woman who is already going to spend years in jail and has had her career destroyed. In other words, it's not in the public interest because there really is a point of diminishing returns on these things. Does she deserve to have the book throw at her? Yes. Considering that she has, through her own actions, gone from a fine to serious time in prison just doesn't make it worthwhile. And if, by some miracle, she manages to get off lighter than the they think she should, the ICO can always open prosecution on the Data Protection Act violations at that time.
The IT info theft pales in comparison to the rest of the story, jesus, just what the hell was going on with that family. Martin also looks like a caring type.
Would be a far more accurate headline. I'd prefer the article to be more about the fact that the ICO did it's job for once rather than just sitting around watching the world go by ignoring all and sundry whilst they breech the data protection act. Mind you, this case does seem surprisingly simple, maybe it's the only case on their books that they had the mental capacity to bring a successful prosecution for.
"...without any legitimate reason to do so, and the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) was called in."
And the ICO decided to issue him with a firm smack on the wrist and a finger wagging whilst saying "you're a naughty boy, don't do it again!"
FFS how much longer can this bunch of spineless incompetents keep on doing this before our Government realises that the ICO is simply not fit for purpose and replaces them with a Watchdog that has both a set of teeth and the balls to use them?
If our NHS records get uploaded to some form of central database this sort of thing will be going on every bloody day!
She was sacked and later went psycho, apparently killing her child and attempting suicide. The ICO didn't bother chasing her because she's already well cared for at Her Majesty's pleasure.
They did however take the boyfriend Campbell to court, where he was found guilty.
Do read the article, eh?
Why do I keep getting texts about "my accident" then ?
And reading between the lines here, doesn't this just seem like the best the CPS could come up with after failing to prosecute him for any more serious crimes associates with the "family" ?
As an NHS IT worker I'm expected to follow all the rules on patient confidentiality, data protection etc etc and I'd be rightly pissed off if my information was passed to scum like this, hence also opting out of the central clinical rwecords project.
The fine is pitiful compared to what the firm would earn, probably about a month's wages for him alone - certainly more than a month for me but that's the public services pay scale for you - he should have been fined a hell of a lot more than that. The damage to the reputation of the NHS as a whole is not reflected in the painfully low fine imposed.
I've recently received a letter from the ICO, five months after I notified them that an NHS Trust was trying to go back on a previous agreement that they'd been involved in, telling me that they're going to assign someone to look at it quite soon.
Thankfully, in the meantime I managed to find a solicitor who got the Trust to back down after threatening them with legal action.
Paris, 'cos she's about as quick and useful.

Cannes Film Review: 'Grand Central'
Writer-director Rebecca Zlotowski's sophomore feature is an engrossing, superbly acted working-class melodrama.
Writer-director Rebecca Zlotowski's sophomore feature is an engrossing, superbly acted working-class melodrama.
In a Cannes flush with onscreen unpleasantries including multiple rapes, severed limbs and genital mutilations, no film was more deserving of a special Palme d'Horreur than the ironically titled…
An insidious web of money, sex and power entangles all the characters in Claire Denis' hypnotic nocturnal thriller.
Singaporean helmer Anthony Chen's debut brims with love, humor and heartbreak.
A plodding Argentine potboiler that examines the country's history of harboring Nazis after WWII, "Wakolda" leadenly reverse-engineers its plot from a reveal most will know from the get-go.
The titular central character never really comes into focus in Yolande Moreau's straightforward but uninvolving solo-directing debut.
The unhealed wounds of post-apartheid South Africa get a brutal but superficial once-over in Jerome Salle's savagely violent cop thriller.
Roman Polanski once again transfers a New York stage hit to the screen with maximum fidelity and facility, and a minimum of fuss.
Cementing himself as the great classicist of his generation, James Gray turns back the clock to 1921 for a romantic tale that cuts to the very soul of the American experience.
Alexander Payne's sixth feature is another low-concept, finely etched study of flawed characters stuck in life's well-worn grooves.
This elegant, geographically vivid pic is considerably leaner than its melodramatic premise might suggest, though wan characterization makes it less immediately engaging than "A Screaming Man."

The Spurs count of active roster players with on-court shoe blowouts is now at two, thanks to Manu Ginobili's left foot exiting through the side of his left sneaker during last night's home game against the Pistons.
With 57 seconds remaining in the second quarter and the Spurs trying to protect a slim two-point lead, Ginobili dropped back into the lane to keep himself between Pistons guard Rodney Stuckey and the hoop. He managed to accomplish that objective before planting his left foot where his left shoe — a custom Nike Zoom DT — didn't want to go. The torque of Ginobili's foot caused a canyon of space to open up on the lateral side of the shoe where the upper meets the midsole, an ideal escape portal for feet otherwise securely laced.
Ginobili played out the possession — 21 seconds in all — in his sock-and-shoe combo before a break and trip to the bench allowed him time to switch to a replacement pair. From there, the Spurs super sixth man completed his stat line of 16 points, one rebound, nine assists, three steals, and one block for a 120-110 victory over Detroit.
As reported by George Kiel III, Ginobili will abandon his DTs in favor of the markedly sturdier and more modern Nike LeBron 11 for the balance of the 2014 season.
Spurs reserve forward Matt Bonner set the sneaker blowout precedent in December 2010 when the right sole on his pair of New Balance basketball sneakers peeled back during a home game against the Grizzlies.
In other NBA Kicks news, Chris Paul donned the specially-designed NIKEiD Jordan CP3.VIIs by Massai Walker last night against the Rockets, putting up 14 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals to help the Clippers to a 101-93 win. CP3 delivered a pair of the purple, aqua and red kicks to Walker, who wore them as he watched Paul and Clippers from the bleachers.
Get all the kicks of note ahead…

I found that giving her only one thing increased my daughters eating. Also eating when we eat, she eats better. Sometimes she wants nothing but strawberries all day. - I figure easier to eat for her when she is teething - As long as she is eating something i had to be ok with it. At first i was putting 2-3 things on her tray - she ate less, my mother in law recommended on thing - i did and she eats more that way - if she will at dairy without a problem - give it to her much needed fat. (cheeses, cottage cheese, yogurt - ) give her a little something she likes, when she finishes give her soemthing else - have her try- if she doesnt want it - give her more of what she just ate. Maybe by starting with something she likes - she gets started on the trail and wont mind trying something else. if she does - hey no big deal. Decrease the choices - bottom line at this age - eating just about anything will help and is ok. Mine is 14 months, with the teething she eats very little at timesposted 09/30/2007 by herinka
Hi, It looks like you posted this question a while ago (last Sept??) but I will respond just in case you are still having trouble. I found that eating meals with our son at the kitchen table (every meal) really helped. Because he became interested in what we were eating. Also, my son preferred his veggies pureed and his fruit diced very small. It could be that your child has a preference of wanting a different texture, so try pureeing foods she usually eats chopped up and slicing things differently. Also, I would try to vary the food choices each meal of the day. For example offer oatmeal, peaches and yogurt for breakfast...cheese quesadilla (small pieces cut up), pureed sweet potatoes and diced watermelon for lunch....and so on. So that each meal there is something to look forward to. My son was very picky for a long time and I really noticed him take an interest in foods at 14 mos.He does like to hold a spoon while eating too & eat finger foods too. Good luck!posted 03/09/2008 by kainoahsmom
Isshe getting teeth or is her throat red? Do you let her feed herself? My son went through a stage where he wouldn't eat unless he fed himself. I got Gerber graduates. Also, in that stage, he would eat off of my plate, so I would put some of his food on the side of my plate, and feed him. What kind of dairy will she eat? Can you mix anything in it?posted 09/09/2007 by strjun
Don't worry--you are NOT alone, Mothers of fussy eaters! I too, have a one year old who is SO picky. She woke up one day and decided she wanted to feed herself. She will only let me give her yogurt and applesauce. I have to sneak some veggies on a spoon too, since she will only eat peas. She used to LOVE any/all fruits/veggies from the jar, and now she is the pickiest eater ever. I'm at my wits end too, because all she'll eat is cheese, bread, fruit & yogurt for lunch/dinner. (breakfasts are fine--she eats any fruit, pancakes/waffles/cereal/french toast, but no eggs?) So lunch & dinner is a challenge. I too spend hours making various meals for her to only throw it on the floor! I get so frustrated I want to cry. I ask the doctor, and he says she is gaining weight fine and looks really healthy so I shouldn't worry. Also he said she is getting most of her nutrients still from the breast milk or formula. So I won't worry for now, but how much cheese can a baby eat?! Good luck Moms...posted 01/29/2008 by sly mamma
my son is one yr old and also is a very fussy eater. i have seen that the only thing that works a bit is if i distract him with some toys, or take him to the balcony and then feed them... he eats a bit then. so distract him from the food and it usually works!posted 09/04/2007 by abirzmom
my son would not eat when he was a year old and still today he is a very picky eater. our pediatrician recommended pediasure shakes. they have all the nutrients that they need and they can be used as suplements for meals. if you have an heb grocery store by they have their own brand and it is half the price and they have more fat and protein in them. we buy the heb brand. my son loves them. we still give him them so that he gets enough calories. they have chocolate vanilla and strawberry. maybe this will help.posted 05/14/2008 by munkee192003
I feel your pain. My daughter has just now doubled her birth weight. She's 17 months old. She's technically categorized as "failure to thrive", but the doctors haven't found anything wrong with her except her tiny appetite. I have tried SOOO hard to get her to eat more. baby food, my food, junk food, ice cream, anything and everyting. She wants peas or green beans....she zeroes in on the least caloric thing she sees. I feel like my pressuring her to eat has backfired. I was feeding her full course meals every 2 hours and singing, playing airplane, blah blah blah. I fully believe her not eating is her way of rebelling. My solution: feed her 3 meals and 2 snacks a day. Each meal is well-balanced and is offered on her own plate with her own utensils. I put her in her high chair. Then, I pretend to ignore her. I clean the kitchen. When she thinks I'm not looking, she tries everything. She doesn't always eat it, but she's gained 2 lbs in 3mos. ps: gastro dr reccommended pediasure 2/dayposted 09/21/2008 by aamy17852
my daughter went through the same thing. I talked to my doc and he said that a child her age will not starve themselves. I was very lucky thought that my LO liked bread, cheese, and crackers. so many diners that is all she had to eat. i still tried new foods & finally one day i gave her a couple bites of pizza and she loved it. She will eat any kind of pizza now. she also loves yogart. don't give up. like they say w/ so many things this too will pass. i know it is very fustrating and breaks ur heart that she is not eting, but like my doc said when she is really hungry she will eat. I have never heard of a child that went through a not eating state and never got out of it. hope this helps you!!!posted 03/11/2009 by momonBC
Maybe she doesn't feel well? Our 16 month old had surgery to remove his adnoids and open his sinus cavity. He wasn't eating anything and rarely drank- it was making me frantic as his mother and I felt like nothing I gave him he liked. It ended up that he was suffering from sinus/ ear infections and just really felt crummy. He also couldn't taste the foods very well because of these problems. He actually isn't a picky eater, he just isn't hurting anymore. Maybe your daughter actually isn't feeling good and that's why she isn't eating. Just something to think about. We really couldn't get our child to eat- he was hospitalized several times before they doctors figured it out. I hope this helps!posted 03/17/2009 by ukramy
It sounds horrible, I know, but when my oldest daughter was about a year old she wouldn't eat either. At the time we lived in an apartment with a huge kitchen and my husband insisted on my keeping the door closed when I was in there with food on account of a counter hopping cat. He put a small TV in the kitchen for me because the silence about drove me crazy when I was cooking or cleaning in there alone. When my daughter wouldn't eat I started putting a video tape on and she would get so engrossed in the TV she wouldn't realize she was eating. My kids are older now and there is no TV while eating unless it's meant to be a treat. But it worked while I needed it too.posted 10/27/2008 by elizabethmpeek

A Gift For Teaching received this amazing story from a local teacher who used WiFi, Skype and a local Subway Restaurant to teach an eight-hour seminar from 1,500 miles away.
"For the last few years, I have been involved in teacher trainings over summer break. What started as a request for specific training regarding students with learning disabilities at a private church sponsored school (twenty educators); has now grown to include specialized training for over three thousands teachers, school psychologists and administrators in both the capital city Bogota and the entire Colombian state of Meta.
"Colombia's public schools are under the government's Ministry of Education and Special Education, like that provided to students in the states, does not exist. In the past, students with disabilities who could not afford private schooling faced a grim future. Colombia has recognized this problem and desires for all students with disabilities to be identified early. Last April, the Ministry representative requested a training this August for one hundred School Psychologists who serve as first responders identifying students with various disabilities so early intervention could occur.
"Just one day before my flight, I received news from my friend and interpreter Dr. Dale Meade that the winter rains had taken out a section of the only mountain road to my conference. Because of continuous mud slides and instability, I canceled my flight and asked to reschedule. Unfortunately, the notices had already gone out and educators from several hundred miles away were not easily notified. So, Dale and I decided to conduct a live seminar from 1,500 miles away using Skype. A local Subway Restaurant offered free WiFi to any customer so I ordered a breakfast and began the eight hour interactive training on what I later learned was the first international educational seminar in Meta (perhaps in all of Colombia) on Skype. But for those of you knowledgeable on the use of a network frequented by over twelve million users at any time, the miracle was that in eight hours, we were only disconnected twice for less than one minute each time!"

Retailer of the Week
Stitched's senior buyer Sam Glaser (left) and store president Eamon Springall
06 Mar. 2013
Sam Glaser and Eamon Springall, Stitched, Las Vegas, Nevada, USAIn what is the epitome of the classic gentlemen's club experience, Stitched is a 3,800-sq.-foot (353-sq.-meter) store inside the trendy Cosmopolitan casino and resort in Las Vegas, Nevada. SI contributor Rudy Gonzales sat down with senior buyer Sam Glaser and store president Eamon Springall during the Vegas trade shows in February to discuss bespoke suiting, contemporary menswear and the best gentlemen's (shopping) club on The Strip. Interview by Rudy Gonzales
When did the store open?
Sam Glaser: We opened with The Cosmopolitan in December 2010 as a destination for menswear haberdashery. Originally the concept was to be the finest men's bespoke suiting purveyors in Las Vegas. Since then we have expanded into a private-label business called XXXX by Stitched, a suiting and ready-to-wear collections while staying true to our customer.
What are some of your current bestsellers brandwise and itemwise?
Sam Glaser: We're the top US account for the Swedish shirting brand Chadbury. Hudson Jeans and Creative Recreation footwear are among the favorites. Being that we're in Las Vegas, we're able to move so many tuxedos and suits.
Have you been surprised by the sales performance of any particular brand?
Sam Glaser: We have sold nearly two pairs of Creative Recreations a day and for a suiting retailer that's quite the feat.
Describe the Stitched customer.
Eamon Springall: A gentleman with discerning taste. Someone who enjoys watching a James Bond or Thomas Crown film who embodies that lifestyle into their sartorial dress. We refer to our salesteam as life-stylist. We need to refer the best steakhouse, gentleman's club and the best nightclub. Especially being on the Las Vegas Strip we need to know what's hot on Wednesday night or Sunday afternoon, selling a suite is a byproduct of the Stitched experience.
How does Stitched compare to other Las Vegas retailers?
Eamon Springall: We have created a unique experience; people come in and they live with us for a little while. We have become an entertaining destination, whether you're in the Scotch Locker lounge having a drink watching the championship game or on the floor talking fashion. Customers stay here for as long as two hours. We're a very events-driven company, from the magazines we own, to the events we plan both charity and political. We're a mix of party and retailer and that's what really sets our business apart.
What has been the biggest challenge for the store thus far?
Eamon Springall: To be honest, it's all been so successful and fast. I had little to no retail experience, and after two years of being in business we have won Vegas' Best–Best Men's Clothing, Best Men's Retailer awards.
Sam Glaser: The largest challenge thus far has been keeping hot products in stock.
Stitched Las Vegas
Eamon Springall: Our 800-sq.-foot [74-sq.meter] space the Scotch Locker is sponsored by Jameson liquor. Each locker is given to our VIP customers where they can suite it up and fill it with their drink of choice and bring guests to the lounge. We also have a fully exposed tailor shop, headed by Milton Chavez a third-generation master tailor from Guatemala. During the day you hear the sewing machines going and customers will stand and watch someone's suit being made. Our award-wining shoe shiner, who is 88 years young, is a favorite of local resort owners. He delivers the best 40-minute shoeshine in Las Vegas.
How do you find new brands and merchandise?
Sam Glaser: There are three sources of influences: press, influential retailers in LA and New York and entertainment icons.
What is your favorite memory of the store thus far?
Sam Glaser: I was a reporter for the Las Vegas Weekly, where I interviewed Eamon for the store opening and I knew Stitched was onto something really special. To be the first to share the Stitched story was by far one of my favorite memories.
Eamon Springall: December 2011, within our one-year anniversary we hit a number that was expected to happen five years into our business plan. We hit it our very first year. Once we announced the numbers to the staff there was a big gasp. In a deja vu moment it happened again; we hit another milestone this year.
Anything exciting for fall 2013?
Sam Glaser: We're launching our Stitched Japanese selvedge denim collection.

ASHEVILLE -- The First Presbyterian Church of Asheville will welcome Naomi Tutu, daughter of South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu and founder, chairperson of the Tutu Foundation, to the pulpit Sunday. She will preach at both morning services at 8:45 and 10:55 a.m. Tutu will also be available for conversation between services at 9:45 a.m. in Gardner Fellowship Hall on the ground floor of the church. All are invited to attend the events, which are free of charge.
Naomi Tutu was educated at Berea College and the University of Kentucky, where she earned a master of arts degree in international economic development from the Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce.
She has worked in the area of race relations for schools and universities, among them Brevard College.
Her work in diversity management helped the South African government and corporate clients to include into commerce those people who had been banned from the South African economy by apartheid. The Tutu Foundation gave South African refugees scholarships so that they could learn skills that would make them self supporting while in exile as well as preparing them for constructive roles in the free South Africa. She resides in Tennessee.

Let me tell you more about myself.
I am just your average deviant. I am not too evil, not too good, not too patriotic, not too narcissistic, not too bossy, not too shallow, I am just average. And I think Pinkie Pie is the most insidiously, dastardly, perfectly CUTE pony on this whole entire planet.
I am just your one-of-a-kind common guy with an interest for various things, passion and endeavor for art and I just lead normal everyday lives, nothing too special. But when times get rough or you may be depressed, you gotta live on with it and look on the bright side of life.

I believe in a simple life and to hereby worship the God up above and to have core values, good morals and principles instead of over-exaggerating everything.
2. I'm not sacrilegious, I am not a religious psychopath and my core, cardinal beliefs are based around Atheism/Christian backgrounds. I believe that everything should be balanced, all the elements balanced in equilibrium and you possibly cannot be fanning the flames of evil under the guise of righteousness. Everything, every object, every entire thing of this world should be balanced equally. Nothing should be too overpowered, overestimated, underestimated or underpowered.
3. I'm here on this Earth to live my life, not live anyone else's life, I can't be possibly spoon feeding another person while letting my interests and personality ebb away, nor being obliged to do something I do not like and wasting my time on it.

6. Antiestablishmentarianism. Every government is corrupt, corroding country morale, moral systems and diminishing happiness because of greed, wealth, pride and the like. We need a good government whose standards are acceptable, not corrupt, not encourage things which are popular with people, not possess Satan's traits, and explicitly come up with good ideas to curb human suffering and financial crisis as well as poverty and pestilence.

On November 15, US Airways chief Doug Parker announced his airline's intention to purchase Delta for $8 billion. Aside from the price of the transaction, details of the proposed merger are sketchy. Parker estimates that 10 percent of the consolidated airlines' routes would be shed. He was also careful to mention that the two frequent flyer programs would be combined and no miles would be lost.
For consumers, especially current US Airways and Delta flyers, many questions are left unanswered. The topic on everyone's minds is how a potential merger would affect the loyal members of both airlines.
So many unanswered questions
The first question, of course, is whether the merger is likely to take place at all. Before it does, the support of Delta's creditors, the bankruptcy court, and the Justice Department must be secured. And there's an outside chance that another airline will make a better offer and edge US Airways out of the picture.
I've heard estimates from knowledgeable industry analysts ranging from 60-40 to 40-60 that the merger will be consummated. So there's basically an equal chance that the merger will go through or that all these questions are in vain.
If the merger does go forward, several more questions arise. Operationally, what would happen to the two airlines' hubs? It's hard to imagine, for example, that both US Airways' Charlotte and Delta's Atlanta hubs would make sense if the two carriers combined route networks. My best guess is that Atlanta's status would be preserved, and Charlotte would be downgraded to a "focus city."
Similar questions arise regarding the future of the East Coast shuttle services operated by both airlines. Presumably one would have to be sold off to address anti-trust concerns. Which will get the heave-ho? I have no good guess.
Another key question concerns the new carrier's alliance affiliation. US Airways is a member of the Star Alliance; Delta is a founding member of SkyTeam. I'm betting the new airline would choose to cast its lot with SkyTeam, where it would extend its special status as a founder as well as its clout as the world's largest airline (which a combination of Delta and US Airways would be). If the new airline remains with the Star group, it would play second fiddle to United, a founding partner and that alliance's unofficial leader.
Then there's the question of ticket prices. Conventional wisdom suggests that prices increase when competition decreases. In some markets, where US Airways and Delta are the two primary contenders, a merger would lead to higher prices in the short term, but in most markets there's enough competition to keep any single carrier from exercising monopoly power to squeeze consumers.
The affect on frequent flyers
Looking at the prospects for frequent flyer program participants, there's good and bad news. On the plus side, combining the route networks of US Airways and Delta will give members of a consolidated program access to more flights on which to earn and redeem miles.
On the negative side, as I've suggested in my blog, it's almost inevitable that award availability would be further compromised by combining Delta's SkyMiles and US Airways' Dividend Miles into a single program. In this scenario, combining accounts from the two programs would push the balances of some dual program members over the threshold for award redemption. As a result, the number of useable miles would increase faster than the number of available award seats.
When the dust settles...
In the short term, if the recent merger between America West and US Airways is any indication, travelers can expect glitches galore. Among other stumbles, the two carriers have had problems integrating both their mileage programs and their reservations systems. A US Airways-Delta tie-up would face similar challenges. It could be a bumpy ride.
Longer term, once the dust has settled, it's likely Delta customers will find themselves on the losing end of the deal. That's because their flying experience will change more dramatically than current US Airways members'.

Push for equality in Navajo Nation
Timothy Kincaid
December 30th, 2013
The Navajo Nation is a semi-autonomous territory slightly larger than West Virginia occupying portions of northeastern Arizona, southeastern Utah, and northwestern New Mexico. About 175,000 Navajo live there, along with some Paiute and Hopi.
Aljazeera discusses an effort to bring marriage equality to the nation.
Alray Nelson, founder of the Coalition for Navajo Equality, says he wants the Navajo Nation to respect gay relationships like two of the states that surround its territory — New Mexico, where gay marriage was legalized this month, and Utah, where it was recently ruled legal but faces a mounting appeal.
"There's no organized faction against this, like in the fight (for) Proposition 8 in California," said Nelson, 27, whose organization is seeking to make tribal legislators review a 2005 tribal ban on gay marriage early next year.
Michigan has its first same-sex marriage
Timothy Kincaid
March 15th, 2013
The head of an American Indian tribe in Michigan signed a law approving same-sex marriage on Friday, joining at least two other tribes nationwide in doing so, then immediately wed a gay couple who had been together for 30 years but never thought they would see this day come.
Dexter McNamara, chairman of the 4,600-member Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians in northern Michigan, wed Tim LaCroix, 53, and Gene Barfield, 60, of Boyne City. After McNamara read the couple's vows and led the ceremony in English, a member of the tribe followed and conducted a traditional tribal ceremony in their language before dozens of wellwishers.
While the Little Traverse Bay Bands comes third in the list of Indian Nations, it is an important addition.
The impact of the Little Traverse Bay decision was unclear, though Fletcher said he thought it would carry weight with other tribes. Little Traverse Bay Bands was an influential, average-sized tribe that has been, along with some other Michigan tribes, "very much in the forefront of some good progressive tribal governance measures in the last couple decades."
"We've been a role model, I think, for the federally recognized tribes of Michigan and it seems like we're out in front — and not taking anything away from the other federally recognized tribes — but, you know, it seems like we kind of opened the door for other tribes and I think other tribes will follow," he said.
Same sex marriage passes vote in Michigan and could soon be legal

… but only if you are Odawa. (Petoskynews)
The Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians inched closer to becoming the third tribe in the nation to legally recognize gay marriage Sunday.
A 5-4 tribal council vote Sunday passed an amended statute allowing same-sex couples to wed and be recognized by the tribal government, according to draft tribal minutes released Tuesday afternoon.
The statute now goes to the tribal chairman, who can either sign the statute into law, or veto the proposed changes.
Two other native tribes recognize same sex marriages, the Coquille in Oregon and the Suquamish in Washington.
Second Indian Tribe adopts marriage equality
Timothy Kincaid
August 2nd, 2011
In 2008 marriage equality established itself in southern Oregon. Now Washington State can be the site for same-sex marriages as well. Provided, of course, that you are a registered member of the appropriate Indian tribe.
On Monday, the Suquamish Tribal Council formally changed its ordinances to join Oregon's Coquille in extending marriage rights to same-sex couples. (Kitsap Sun)
The Tribal Council held a public hearing on the ordinance change in June and formally adopted it in a unanimous vote Monday.
The new law allows the tribal court to issue a marriage license to two unmarried people, "regardless of their sex," if they at least 18 years old and at least one of them is an enrolled member of the Suquamish Tribe.
Indian Tribe Recognizes Same-Sex Marriage
Timothy Kincaid
August 20th, 2008
The Coquille, a Native American tribe in southern Oregon have become the first in the United States to decide to recognize same-sex marriage (The Oregonian).
As a federally recognized sovereign nation, the tribe is not bound by Oregon's constitution. And on May 8, the tribe adopted a law that recognizes same-sex marriage and extends to gay and lesbian couples all the tribal benefits of marriage.
And while the state cannot interfere in inter-tribal matters, the planned marriage between Kitzen and Jeni Branting could play a part in a larger legal question.
Because the Coquille is federally recognized, a marriage "occurring within the tribe would actually be federally recognized," Gilley said. And that would violate the Defense of Marriage Act, a federal law that says the federal government "may not treat same-sex relationships as marriages for any purpose."
As a result, the marriage between the Brantings – who share the same last name after changing it to reflect their commitment – could become a test case if challenged by the federal government. Gilley said it could test the boundaries of tribal independence nationwide. .
"This could be a test of sovereignty," he said.

The Hefajat-e-Islam Bangladesh chairman, Allma Shah Ahmed Shafi, on
Wednesday urged all the Muslim devotees to join the rally the
organization planned to hold in Dhaka on April 6 carrying praying mats,
rosaries and light meals such as puffed and flattened rice.
He issued a statement calling on the Muslims to begin the long march from different places after the juma prayers on Friday (April 5). The long march is scheduled for the next day (April 6).
The Hefajat-e-Islam chief also asked all to bring out processions in all district and upazila headquarters today to drum up support in favor of the much talked about long march.
He also asked all Muslim women to fast on Friday seeking divine blessings so that the march could be successful.
Allma Shafi asked the government not to obstruct the march, saying that it would be peaceful and no political demand would be raised.
Meanwhile, the Dhaka city unit Hefajat-e-Islam convener, Noor Hossain Kasemi, said that the rally would be held in the Shapla Square.
Hefajat-e-Islam held processions and rallies in a show of strength in Dhaka, Chittagong, Barisal and other parts of the country on Wednesday in favor of the Dhaka siege for April 6.
Hefajat-e-Islam leaders warned the government against any move to obstruct the long march saying that the government would be overthrown immediately if it obstructed the march.
It threatened shutting the capital Dhaka from the rest of the country and calling general strike for an indefinite period beginning April 7 if the march was obstructed.
Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami on Wednesday extended its support for the march while a platform of pro-government ulema called Sachetan Hakkani Alem Samaj asked Hefajat-e-Islam to call off their long march.
Meanwhile, several other political parties including Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), Bikalpa Dhara Bangladesh, Jatio Party (Ersahd), Jamaat-e-Islami, Islami Oikko Jote extended their support for the programme.
In support of the April 6 Long March Dhaka city unit Hefajat-e-Islam organised a rally and brought out a procession at Paltan to drum up support for the march towards Dhaka.
After a brief rally, which the Dhaka city unit Hefajat-e-Islam convener, Noor Hussain Kasemi, presided over, the procession joined in by several thousand Islamists paraded city roads from the north gate of Baitul Mukarram to the Shapla Square.
In Chittagong the organisation's Chittagong unit also held a procession in the port city.
It brought out a motorcycle procession from Jamiatul Falah Mosque that paraded major roads.
In Barisal Hefajat-e-Islam had held a rally at Jameya Arabia Khawza Mainuddin Madrassah and in surrounding areas.
Hefajat-e-Islam leaders at the rally announced that more than one lakh people from Barisal would join the long march.
Allama Shah Ahmed Shafi on March 10 announced the programme as part of their ongoing movement against anti-Islamic activities.
Their 13-point demands include the reinstatement of the phrase 'absolute trust and faith in Almighty Allah' in the preamble to the constitution, the enactment of a blasphemy law provisioning for death penalty as the highest punishment for people maligning Allah, Islam, the Qur'an and the Muslims, an end to anti-Islamic campaigns through blogging, exemplary punishment of the people who mocked at Allah and the Prophet (SM), an end to police firing in and killing Muslims on demonstrations, the release of all ulema and withdrawal of all cases filed against ulema and the Muslims, the cancellation of 'anti-Islamic' education and women development policies, declaring the Ahmadiyyas non-Muslims, an end to alien and anti-Islamic culture such as candlelight vigil and the dismantling of all sculptures from universities and roads.

Here's some of Sandomir's early thrashing of Caray:
Caray is still prone to bad play calls, descriptive exaggerations and factual errors. Every announcer makes mistakes, but Caray's lips form a pattern of an announcer out of his element. The producer, Glenn Diamond; the director, Lonnie Dale; and the statistician are either failing him or he is spurning their advice and support.
No one in the production truck could rescue him from his 10th-inning classic faux pas during the Twins-Tigers tie breaker Tuesday night. Caray called the Twins' Nick Punto's sharply hit liner to left field this way: "Line drive. Base hit. Caught out there. The runner tags. Throw to the plate. On target. And in time! A double play."
My follow-up comment way back when:
It's gotta be hard work to consistently deliver the game action accurately, cleanly and without reusing the same descriptions and/or verbal tics. That's what makes/made the Harwells, Scullys, Kalases, Allens, etc. so sublime. They use/used words to paint a picture for us without getting in the way of the game. Carey's not doing that. His errors are so frequent, they are distracting from the game.
It's too bad MLB awarded TBS the rights to these games. They are clearly overmatched and undermanned.
Here's a screen grab from Twitter from during the MLB Post-Season. Can't ya just feel the love?

Turner & Townsend are delivering a combined service to cater for the roll out and upgrade of telecommunications equipment to cover Orange's entire UK network. The role is principally based around the duties of the CDM Coordinator under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007; however an additional role for non-notifiable sites known as the safety management co-ordinator (SMC) role is also delivered on smaller projects.
Orange required Turner & Townsend to undertake an extensive review of their existing contractor portfolio, in 2007 in response to the requirements for competency assessment. The objective of this was not to exclude contractors but to work proactively with them to raise standards in Health & Safety management.
In addition to the day to day operations undertaken by the CDMc and SMC the client had requirements for an enhanced role to provide national coverage for Site inspections & contractor performance audits. Turner & Townsend developed a comprehensive database to capture information on contractor performance, discipline actions and safety bulletins issued by Turner & Townsend or Orange.The commission is delivered by a team of 4 full time health and safety consultants based in the client's office in Solihull with support from regional offices for site auditing.
Turner & Townsend's contribution
Turner & Townsend is one of the leading safety consultants within the telecommunications sector, which enabled us to understand the client's needs. CDM coordinators at orange clearly understand that Oranges priority is coverage, but not at the expense of safety. By working closely with designers and contractors we are able to provide sites which are safe to access and maintain.
Making the difference
Our 6 year partnership with Orange and glowing client references is a true reflection of the achievements of the team. We constantly react and evolve to the ever changing priorities of our client's build needs. In addition we have provided addition services which are inclusive of our initial fee.

These tea towel designs, launched originally in 1954, are fantastic period pieces, great pieces of design and practical items too.
