An Iraqi boy views the spot where a US Army vehicle burns after it was hit by a suicide car bomb in the Dorah district of Baghdad, Iraq, Thursday, May, 5, 2005. At least 20 people were killed in three separate attacks targeting Iraqi and US security forces in Baghdad Thursday.
AP Photo BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Insurgents pressed their deadly campaign against Iraq's new government Thursday with attacks against the country's security forces, killing at least 28 people, half of them policemen, and pushing the death toll over the past week to more than 210.
The violence included a suicide bombing at an army recruiting center in Baghdad where the assailant moved among applicants before detonating his charges. It was the same tactic used Wednesday in the northern city of Irbil, where a suicide bomber killed 59 men seeking jobs on the police force.
The attacks came as Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari, who won parliamentary approval for his new Cabinet a week ago, continued his search for a Sunni Arab to fill the sensitive post of defense minister, one of seven Cabinet seats still vacant.
A spokesman for al-Jaafari, Laith Kubba, said the Shiite Muslim leader was making progress and hoped to name candidates for the seven positions, four of which will go to Sunni Arabs, to parliament Sunday.
Ali Dabbagh, a senior official in al-Jaafari's political coalition, the United Iraqi Alliance, said an agreement had been reached to name Muhammed Bahr Uloum as oil minister. Another alliance member, Hussein Mousawi, said that Uloum was the leading candidate but that no decision had been made.
Defense Minister has been the most difficult position to fill. Shiites and Kurds have opposed Sunni Arab nominees who were associated with the government of president Saddam Hussein.
or his Baath Party.
Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, an ethnic Kurd, said the defense minister must be a Sunni Arab whose "reputation is not tainted in any atrocities."
In a telephone interview, Zebari also said he raised the issue of security when he met with the foreign ministers of Iraq's six neighbors last week in Istanbul. He said he urged them to improve policing of their borders to stop militants from joining the insurgency in Iraq.
"I confronted them with evidence, with names, with details of people who are wanted," Zebari said. The Iraqi and U.S. governments have said foreign fighters make up part of the insurgency and have accused Syria, in particular, of failing to stop militants from crossing the border.
He said he received Syrian assurances in Istanbul that "there would be a new Syrian policy toward Iraq and the Iraqi government" that would involve "more cooperation and more good-faith dealing."
Thursday's insurgent violence began with a car bombing at 6:25 a.m. near a deputy interior minister's convoy in the Baghdad district of Ghazaliya. One of the official's bodyguards was killed, according to the Defense Ministry.
About the same time, gunmen in two cars opened fire on two police cars stationed at an intersection in the western part of the city, according to a policeman at the scene and a Defense Ministry spokesman. A hospital official said 10 policemen died in that attack.
An hour later, a suicide bomber attacked the army recruiting center in western Baghdad, killing 13 people and wounding 14 others, the hospital official said. And in Mosul, 220 miles north of Baghdad, a car bomb exploded near a police patrol at 6:30 p.m., killing four officers and wounding five, according to police and hospital officials.

Smoking in VermontMarch 13,2014According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there currently are an estimated 82,000 smokers in this state. Almost 17 percent of the population 18 and older smoke. Of the 50 states, Vermont ranks 13th; unlike golf, the higher number, the better.
Only 6.5 percent of those 65 and older smoke; it could be the other 10 percent passed away before age 65, or with age brings wisdom. Twenty-two percent of 18- to 24-year-olds smoke. The state collects approximately $72 million each year in cigarette taxes. Do the math and follow the money, the anti-smoking bill was struck down because the state would have to find another source of income to replace the new nonsmokers and that is a sad commentary.

It's summertime at the de Young, which means that the museum's Summer Art Camp is in full swing and the Hamon Education Tower has been filled with talented young artists and creative energy. During week one, campers explored the theme of "Mixed Media Madness," creating pieces that incorporated a range of materials and techniques including oil pastel and watercolor resist, splatter painting, masking, and plein air ink wash paintings. The incredible art making continued into week two as campers studied works in the de Young's permanent collection and crafted their own pieces centered around the idea of "Stories in Art."

Escondido students battle in Scrabble
Some young Scrabble players will get a chance Thursday to show off their word skills.
The literacy services department of the Escondido Library is expanding its successful Scrabble-thon to the younger generation. Scrabble-thon Jr. will feature six-member teams from five Escondido elementary schools - Conway, Farr, Juniper, Oak Hill and Rock Springs - competing for trophies and individual prizes.
The Scrabble showdown is an outgrowth of the city recreation department's On Track after-school program. Students play once a week keeping word journals and receiving points for their success in games, and for keeping up the journals.
Fourth- and fifth-graders with the highest point totals at each school qualified for the Scrabble-thon.
"These kids worked hard through the school year to earn these slots. That's exciting," said Jo Jones, director of literacy services for the library. "A lot of kids found they really like the game. There's something to be said for intellectual competition."
The contest runs from 3 to 7 p.m. in the library's Turrentine Room.
Top score: Attention this week is focused on the many graduations in Escondido. One San Pasqual High School junior, though, also has something to cheer. Scott Johnston scored a 2,400 on his SAT, the highest possible score on the exam. Johnston tallied 800 in the math, writing and critical reasoning areas of the test, no shock to his counselor Fred Georggin. "Frankly, it's not a surprise that one of the Johnstons would come up perfect. … He is just a hard-working young man who loves the academic arena and thrives in it. He is just great," Georggin said.
Flock of Eagles: Give a hand to Darlene Hansen, a trustee for the San Pasqual Union School District, and her husband, Jody, for raising a literal handful of Eagle Scouts - one for each finger. Daniel, 18, a senior at Escondido Charter High School, recently achieved his Eagle rank, completing a perfect five-for-five for the Hansens' sons. Daniel was preceded in reaching the top rank in Boy Scouts by Jonathan, 32, David, 30, Jared, 28, and Joshua, 24.
Quick hits: Paul Rudy, sports director for KUSI-TV, recalled his early career path during a recent talk to the Kiwanis Club of Rancho Bernardo. Rudy signed up for the training program for Oscar Meyer, then had second thoughts when a teacher asked him, "Do you really want to sell baloney for the rest of your life?" … A caller with a complaint about a local public official told reporter Paul Eakins, "I don't read the paper that much. I only know what irritates me." … Eakins was amused by another comment, this coming from an attorney discussing the Escondido Swap Meet: "You can't hang your hat on just one piece of pie."

The Governor of Maryland scrapped early voting across the state yesterday as the East Coast of America prepared for a storm that is expected to inflict unprecedented damage.
Carefully calibrated presidential campaign strategies were torn up last night as Hurricane Sandy, which is on a collision course with two other storms, forced President Obama and Mitt Romney temporarily to abandon their battle for key swing states.
The monster storm — which is 1,000 miles across and expected to hit land today — led Michael Bloomberg, the Mayor of New York, to order a mandatory evacuation of 400,000 people from Manhattan last night.
The US Presidential election is fast approaching and it promises to be one of the closest White House races in history with incumbent Barack Obama facing the Republican challenger Mitt Romney.

And since 1987, PASO has been offering financial support, medical services, housing assistance, and social support to those in our area battling HIV.
According to the Department of Health and Human Services, there were 69,212 people living with HIV in Texas in 2011, which is about a 33 percent increase from 2005. That means roughly one in 374 Texans is living with HIV.
PASO Executive Director Michael Timcisko says our own local trends are very much in line with state trends.
"We have a lot of individuals out here in Amarillo and throughout the Texas Panhandle that currently don't have any insurance," said Timcisko, "and even with the Affordable Care Act, may not have insurance for a long, long time. So we're actually able to pick up the costs of their doctor visits, laboratory testing, prescription drugs, that sort of thing."

Ten Guaranteed Ways to Screw Up Any Project
A web-published article by Michael Greer
[Click here to download PDF version.]
- Don't bother prioritizing your organization's overall project load. After all, if there's a free-for-all approach to your overall program management (i.e., "survival of the fittest"), then the projects that survive will be those that were destined to survive. In the meantime, senior management need not trouble themselves aligning projects with strategic goals or facing the logical imperative that people simply cannot have 12 number one priorities! (See my online article What's Project Portfolio Management (PPM) and Why Should Project Managers Care About It?)
- Encourage sponsors and key stakeholders to take a passive role on the project team. Let them assert their authority to reject deliverables at random, without participating in defining project outcomes in a high-resolution fashion. And above all, don't bother project sponsors when their constituents (such as key SMEs and reviewers) drop the ball and miss their deadlines.
- Set up ongoing committees focusing on management process (such as TQM groups, etc.) and make project team members participate in frequent meetings and write lots of reports… preferably when critical project deadlines are coming due.
- Interrupt team members relentlessly … preferably during their time off. Find all sorts of trivial issues that "need to be addressed," then keep their beepers and cell phones ringing and bury them in emails to keep them off balance.
- Create a culture in which project managers are expected to "roll over" and take it when substantive new deliverables are added halfway through the project. (After all, only a tradesperson like a plumber or electrician would demand more money or more time for additional services; our people are "professionals" and should be prepared to be "flexible.")
- Half way through the project, when most of the deliverables have begun to take shape, add a whole bunch of previously unnamed stakeholders and ask them for their opinions about the project and its deliverables.
- Encourage the sponsor to approve deliverables informally (with nods, smiles, and verbal praise); never force sponsors to stand behind their approvals with a formal sign-off. (In other words, give 'em plenty of room to weasel out of agreements!)
- Make sure project managers have lots of responsibilities and deadlines, but no authority whatsoever to acquire or remove people from the project; to get enough money, materials, or facilities; or insist on timely participation of SMEs and key reviewers.
- Describe project deliverables in the vaguest possible terms so sponsors and reviewers have plenty of leeway to reinvent the project outputs repeatedly as the project unfolds.
- Get projects up and running as quickly as possible – don't worry about documenting agreements in a formal project charter, clearly describing team roles/responsibilities, or doing a thorough work breakdown analysis.

Since originally publishing this article several years ago, I've heard from many folks and found that they've used it as follows:
* To get a general dialogue going about "What's going wrong with our projects!"
* To get specific issues on the table with particular supervisors.
* To "let someone have it" on the way out the door (after resigning!) by handing it to him and saying, "Here… this miserable company does all of these things!" [Hmmm… not the best use of this list, I must say!]
However you choose to use it, I hope it helps your organization step back and reflect on what PM practices you might improve!

Hi Laura – Could you clarify what you mean by "the whole roll-over thing?" I'm not sure what you're asking about.

Westbrook's 'Must-See' TV Celebrated on 20th Anniversary
Over the past 20 years, registrants at American Society on Aging (ASA) annual meeting have been able to visit a darkened conference room to screen in excess of 1,000 film and video productions that might be useful in professional training to stimulate discussion among elders at senior centers or other location. To create and organize this annual Media Festival, G. Jay Westbrook has reviewed and selected those programs from thousands more during each intervening year, purely on a volunteer basis.
Westbrook, a clinical gerontologist based in Van Nuys, Calif., was honored with a rarely presented Special Recognition Award by ASA's Board of Directors during the recent 2003 Joint Conference of ASA and the National Council on the Aging, held in Chicago. Not only has he run the Media Festival for two decades, Westbrook has chaired the association's End-of-Life Issues Committee since its inception.
Today, he is a pain management-palliative care specialist for Tender Loving Care Home Hospice (TLC) of Moor-park, Calif., and for his own compamy, HealthWaves, Ltd. Last year at TLC, he helped design and open the first palliative care and bereavement center at an acute care hospital in California. At HealthWave, he performs geriatric sessments, care management and pain management, and provides consultation and education to professionals nationwide. He is also a frequent faculty presenter at ASA conferences.
This year Westbrook picked 47 productions in II categories, including long term care, spirituality, mental health, end-of-life issues, Alzheimer's disease and related disorders, and family caregiving. Here is a-selection of his reviews, including many of Westbrook's "Must See" reviews; For a PDF file of the complete, annotated list, Aging Today readers can go to www.agingtoday.org for the May-June 2003 issue. Following is a selection of Westbrook's reviews.
Maggie Growls (Women Mate Movies, 57 minutes). Must See! Don't miss this amazing new Women Make Movies documentary by Barbara Attie and Janet Goldwater. The work profiles the life of Gray Panther founder and leader Maggie Kuhn and provides a marvelous profile of this amazing woman.
Freedom of Sexual Expression (Terra Nova, 16 minutes). Narrated by Anne Meara, this video reinforces the fact that basic desires for love and touch transcend any perceived boundaries of age or dementia. The work tastefully explores various types of sexual expression, the effects of these expressions on long-term care residents, and the residents' rights to express these emotions in ways that are not harmful to themselves or others. The video also acknowledges that the continued pleasures of touch and intimacy can benefit residente' emotional well-being by easing feelings of loneliness and depression.
Minimizing Disruptive Behaviors (Health Professions Press, 21 minutes). Part of the Creating Successful Dementia Care Settings multimedia (print and video) training package, this work presents easy-to-impleinent ideas to make a facility's care culture more supportive of individual residents. The work focuses on both the physical environment and best staff practices.

I saw the talk on cnbc also. I then researched itand said wow, where has this stock been hiding. Ipicked it up within 30 minutes of the talk.

I useyahoo(obviously) and rapidresearch. If anything looks funny,forget it and look elsewhere. Godd luck on yourinvesting.
The large Dep't of Defense contract may haveprecipitated the 1mm. share buy (which was an uptick). Advanceinfo seems likely. This could be a bottom. Thestock is a steal at this level and the institutionbuyers know it. It has not been this low in 2 years.

10 Ways to make your relationship more thrilling
**Romantic thrills**
The start of a relationship is exciting, risky, even a bit scary, and we savor every slightly out-of-control minute of it. "I'm crazy for him," we say. "He makes my heart pound." That early relationship thrill comes from the high of discovery, from learning your partner's passions and fears. It's the mystery of the unknown and the anticipation of the unexpected: What's he thinking? Will he call?
As a relationship matures, though, we tend to trade that intense feeling of free-falling for contentment and security. But why can't we have the best of both worlds: a rock-solid, comfortable, deeply fulfilling partnership and a regular injection of "but I barely know you" mystery? According to relationship experts and some thrill-seeking couples, we can.
Here are 10 ways to stay in love and never stop falling
1. Scare yourselves silly
Medical experts liken the body's fear response to sexual arousal — our pulse quickens and we break out in a sweat, which may explain why people voluntarily bungee-jump or descend full speed down glaciers on skis. We get a rush from being scared in a somewhat controlled environment, and when we do it with a partner, we're brought together by the feeling of having conquered our fears hand in hand.
2. Spill a secret
Intimacy and thrills go hand in hand, which is probably why the initial getting-to-know-you period at the beginning of a relationship is so exciting.
3. Place a bet
You and your husband have $20 on Hootenanny to win in the sixth race. He rounds the far turn three back from the lead, but he's closing in fast. The horses thunder past you down the stretch, and Hootenanny wins by a nose!
You jump into your husband's arms and suddenly realize you're having a blast. The adrenaline rush, the decadence of throwing caution (and a few bucks) to the wind, and the slightly sleazy atmosphere of the track or your average casino all make gambling a great way to inject a little pizzazz into your relationship.
Of course, you don't have to wager your hard-earned cash to get the same effect: Try playing strip poker in your living room after the kids go to bed or going to a pool hall and betting on who has to make dinner for the next week.
4. Be a little daring
When I was in high school the "in" thing to do during the wee hours of a warm summer night was to sneak into the local pool and go skinny-dipping. Fear of getting caught in a compromising position is guaranteed to evoke some thrills and chills, and you can bring back that feeling as adults in small ways that won't get you thrown in the slammer. How, you ask?
The next time the two of you go to a movie, hide in the last row of the theater and fool around.
5. Relive your first date
Your first date was a mystery that had yet to be solved. There were several juicy clues — the look in your date's eyes, the way he kissed you — and plenty of nervous tension. But even though you know how that mystery turned out, returning to the scene of that first crime can bring back some of those old goosebumps.
6. Cyber-romance each other
These days it's far too easy for a chasm of cyberspace to grow between a husband and wife. He can spend hour after hour playing a computer game, and she can't seem to get enough of the Women.com chat rooms. But with a few quick clicks, you can use this very same technology to hot-wire your marriage. "With the accessibility of e-mail," says Michele Weiner-Davis, a marriage and family therapist in Woodstock, IL, and author of Divorce Busting, "we can take the time to do things we wouldn't ordinarily do, like sending love letters."
One woman she knows decided that if her husband was going to spend all of his time surfing the Internet, she would express her feelings online. She e-mailed him a very personal romantic poem and got an amazingly romantic response.
7. See each other in a different light
Kristen Kiser, 30, of Astoria, NY, and her husband add a spark to their marriage by hosting a holiday dinner for friends who can't make it home for the holiday. "I get to see what Marc's like in action, when he's taking charge and acting the host," she says. "It makes me fall in love with him all over again."
Says Los Angeles psychotherapist Suzanne Lopez, author of Get Smart with Your Heart, "Seeing your partner with different eyes has to do with letting go of preconceived ideas. It can really change the energy in a relationship for the better." Other eye-opening ideas: Consider taking a boxing class together at the gym, where you both might be a bit more wild and aggressive than usual, or dance lessons, where you might surprise each other with your grace.
8. Become a master of seduction
A little bit of forethought can awaken some of the passion in your marriage, even on an ordinary Tuesday night. Rob Czaplewski, 29, of Grand Island, NB, likes to get home from work before his wife and put a love note on the back door. "Then I have her favorite music playing with all the candles lit in the living room and a bed of pillows on the floor," he says, "and finally, the promise of a backrub to help her relax."
Jenna Schlehuber, 42, of Moran, MI, used a bottle of cologne to build temptation. She bought her husband a scent she really liked and had it wrapped. When he went upstairs that evening to take his shower, she left it on his pillow with a card that said, "Would you wear this tonight for me, and only this?" Says Schlehuber, "After a few minutes, I went upstairs to find him just the way I asked, waiting patiently for me to come to bed. What a romantic evening we had — better than ever. And he loved the cologne, too."
9. Profit from the passion
Sex is something relationship experts universally agree will bolster just about every area of a marriage — including its thrill quotient. Increased sexual contact is a way to recapture the erotic force that brought you together in the first place.
Weiner-Davis tells of one woman who, soon after resolving to have more sex with her husband, not only characterized her marriage as more thrilling but said that he suddenly began mowing the lawn regularly and making her coffee in the morning — unasked.
10. Take a trip to nowhere
At the beginning of your relationship, every date was an adventure; you never knew quite what was going to happen or how it was going to end up. So one weekend, take a trip — overnight or just for the day — without knowing where you're going. No packing, no planning.
Says Patty Moosbrugger, 35, of New York City, who's been married for six years, "Every now and then we just grab sweaters and sandwiches and get on a train. We get out when we feel like it and spend the day exploring wherever we land." By letting go of some of the control you have over your lives, you'll recapture that exciting sense of the unknown you felt when you first met.

True, he only made 67 appearances for Arsenal. Probably still bedding in, eh? And of course, being 26 when he joined Arsenal he was completely raw.

If you weren't so constipated in your views, I would say you need more than bedding in with Butch. Even your alter ego cant stand you eriK. Attenborough got it right, 'you're a plague, a boil that needs 'lancing'.

Chamakh began his Arsenal career wonderfully, then suffered 'burn out' and took some time out, not returning until the end of the season.
He barely figured the next season, making only 11 appearances, mostly as substitute.
Basically the guy played half a season or so for Arsenal when he actually began in a decent run of games and that was his first in the Prem, and adjusting to life in England.
Best you move on 'Eric'.....before you have yet another 'Van Persie is not world class' moment.
Much SMUG love.

Real Idlewild History: Top Music in Michigan
Dr. Ronald Stephens is the author of Idlewild: The Black Eden of Michigan. Idlewild is an African-American resort in Michigan, created during the time of Jim Crow segregation when many beaches and resorts were not open to blacks.
Its heyday ran from the 1920s to the 1960s. Stephens says it was known for both its peace and quiet — and its all-night parties featuring the latest jazz, blues or soul.

Thank you to the City and Borough of Juneau Assembly for budgeting to fund the Juneau School District to the maximum local contribution amount for the FY16 budget.
This action is sending a very clear message that supporting public education is a priority of Alaska's capital city and its elected leaders.
Steve SueWing
I was very disappointed to read in the Juneau Empire that Rep. Cathy Munoz, R-Juneau, is supporting the hydro project at Sweetheart Creek. Hundreds of Juneau families depend on personal use sockeye from that creek.
Sweetheart Lake is an excellent rearing pond for sockeye fry. On their return to the creek, the salmon support a fleet of seiners, and then the fish that escape their nets are available for Juneauites to catch for winter use.
I am an Alaska Native, Republican constituent from Alaska and have been with my party my whole adult life. I am disappointed that my party has not adopted Erin's Law. I thought we were going to pass it last year after Rep. Geran Tarr sponsored a bill, but it failed at the end of session. We as Alaska lead the nation in sexual assaults, yet we are giving corporate welfare to the oil companies instead of protecting our children.
Effective, respected leadership is more than words. It involves deeds. Alaska's representatives and senators mourn their disappointment in not being able to honor negotiated pay increases for state workers. Is this more than words?
Did you know that the Clean Water Act prohibits the discharge of raw sewage from a vessel within 3 nautical miles of the U.S. coast? As the summer boating season approaches and more boats are using coastal harbors, it will be important to keep your sewage management strategy in mind.
Wasn't it great when Mr. Burns gave all that money to the Juneau Community Foundation? How do you think that kind of money is amassed in such a small town? That is why I finally moved away.
Alaska's politicos and various, allied morality police betray a prevailing public trust: They presently sabotage the voters' intent to decriminalize production and use of marijuana. The current soapboxing and grandstanding about control and regulation increase corruption opportunities. Likewise, massive regulation invites furthered criminalization.
Southeast Alaska's livelihood is dependent on its marine ecosystem, especially its salmon runs. As a fishing guide and resident, I know that fishing is Southeast Alaska's livelihood. While the majority of our most productive salmon rivers — such as the Taku, Unuk and Stikine — have their headwaters in British Columbia, we need to ensure BC manages its side of the rivers properly to ensure healthy fish runs across all of Southeast Alaska.
I've been a season passholder for 15 years at Eaglecrest. Due to injuries or medical situations I have not always been able to get my money's worth out of the pass, but I have considered the difference my donation toward taking pressure off the unrealistic expectation that Eaglecrest be forced to be resource-neutral to CBJ, though so many other CBJ activities are not.
I don't hold CBJ accountable for bad weather. But is it reasonable for me to pay $500+ for a pass this year for which I received NO SERVICES?
In the spirit of furthering the "important dialogue" that British Columbia Minister of Energy and Mines Bill Bennett encourages Alaskans to have with the B.C. government and mining interests, I am curious to get a better understanding of why Canadian taxpayers shelled out millions of dollars for restoration work at two mines mentioned by Minister Bennett in his recent opinion piece.

Hopper's Office at Night inspires serialized novella
Edward Hopper, Office at Night

The Walker's Edward Hopper exhibition explores how a painting comes to be
The image, shown above, features a man working at a desk as a women files. Other details include a typewriter with bills nearby, an open window and door, and a light outside from perhaps a streetlamp or passing car that suggests a late night in the office. Critics have noted that Hopper's paintings are open to interpretation. Authors Hunt and Bernheimer are ready to give their take on the story presented here.
The novella will be released in serialized format on the Walker's website. Chapters will be released in installments throughout the month of April, and the full novella will be published by Coffee House Press as an e-book in June.
The first section, released today, introduces readers to Abraham Chelikowsky, a down-on-his-luck sometimes-painter who hopes to make it to 50, and Marge Quinn, a secretary whose motives have yet to be revealed.

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.

Sex and the City alum Kristen Davis literally grew a bone in her foot as a result of her extensive high heel use. Also she is sorry about making stilettos fashionable and ruining your feet:
"I do feel guilt about the heels. It did seem we were trying to say to women, 'You should be wearing heels like these.' But we definitely weren't. Were they beautiful shoes? Yes. Were they appropriate for the characters? Yes, that's what women like that wear. But it became a bigger picture thing, where it seemed women should be wearing them every day."
The actress now sticks to flats, albeit fashionable ones. [Telegraph]
- Miley Cyrus serenaded that kid who asked her to prom at her own concert. But not before he got down on one knee to put her corsage on and she briefly referenced that one time she was engaged to Liam Hemsworth, saying "I've been in this position one time before before, and it didn't go so well the last time a guy got on one knee for me but hopefully this will be better." [Perez Hilton]

- Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale's new baby boy's name is Apollo Bowie Flynn Rossdale. Do with that information what you will. [Daily Mail]

LANSING - Richard Strong will spend the rest of his life in prison for murdering a man outside a downtown Lansing nightclub. On Tuesday a jury convicted Richard Strong of the murder of Ygnacio "Notch" Bermudez on November 10, 2011, outside The Loft.
Strong was also convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm and another firearm charge. Strong shot the 35-year-old Bermudez several times outside the club. Strong then fled to North Carolina and eluded police until February, when he was captured by U.S. marshals in Raleigh, NC.
Strong will be sentenced to a mandatory life term in prison without the possibility of parole on December 12th.

Art, Society, and Performance: Igede Praise Poetry
Art, Society, and Performance: Igede Praise Poetry
"A very important and welcome addition to the growing scholarship on song traditions in Africa". -- Helen Nabasuta Mugambi, California State University, Fullerton
Conventionally, scholars of oral literature have studied works of praise and criticism as distinct from one another. Ogede examines the ways in which praise and criticism work in tandem in the oral performance of the Igede of West Africa. He explains how they are used in negotiating social relationships and in navigating the political, religious, and spiritual spheres. He further demonstrates how oral performance among the Igede is not the exclusive preserve of any particular group but is ultimately a means of public expression, available to and employed by all in dealing with powerful emotions and events.
Ogede focuses on the minority Igede of Nigeria's Benue State in order to extend the study of oral literature beyond such familiar majority ethnic groups as the Yoruba, Igbo, and Zulu. By drawing from work by leading oral artists and younger composers, he examines how oral materials are created and transmitted among the unlettered Igede, how they vary from one performance to another, and how mutual influences between the audience and the artist are essential to thepower of the oral performance.

Equal Employment:
Minority Representation at USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service
GGD-91-31BR: Published: Mar 18, 1991. Publicly Released: Mar 18, 1991.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service's (NASS) equal employment opportunity (EEO) upward mobility program (UMP) and merit promotion process, focusing on: (1) NASS compliance with its merit plan promotion requirements; (2) the extent to which NASS employees filed discrimination complaints regarding UMP; (3) NASS efforts to address underrepresentation; and (4) representation of EEO groups in NASS.
GAO found that NASS: (1) evaluated and selected six UMP candidates from June 1988 through November 1990 according to almost all merit promotion procedures; (2) received few discrimination complaints and no formal complaints on UMP in almost 11 years; (3) received four informal complaints during 1989 and 1990 alleging discrimination in making UMP selections; (4) established hiring goals and streamlined the hiring process to improve its ability to hire minorities, especially for its agricultural and mathematical statistician job series; (5) met or exceeded its numerical hiring goals for some groups in fiscal year 1989 in its four largest occupations; and (6) did not always meet the goals set for some underrepresented groups and did not set goals for other groups, because of its inability to locate qualified minorities. GAO also found that: (1) overall, white men and women, black, Asian-American, and American-Indian women were fully represented, while black, Hispanic, Asian-American, and American-Indian men were not fully represented; (2) women were underrepresented in professional occupations and fully represented in clerical occupations; (3) white men held most higher graded positions; and (4) white women and black women were severely underrepresented in the agricultural statistician job series.

What's the best way to tell my partner we're pregnant?
I just found out I'm pregnant and I'm looking for fun ways to tell my partner. With our first, I taped the pregnancy test to a baby name book and gift-wrapped it! Have any good ideas on creative ways to tell your partner that you're pregnant?

I used to tease my husband because instead of the phrase "bun in the oven", he thought it was "muffin in the oven". I have a suspicion that I am pregnant and want to test in the morning while he is sleeping, then wake him up to (hopefully!) tell him the good news. I plan to ask him to check the oven to see if the breakfast I'm making is ready, and in there he will find one muffin, and a card that says "Studmuffin" and has a cartoony picture of a muffin with big biceps, which inside will say that we are pregnant. Afterwards, I will show him the pregnancy test. This is the compromise I came up with because he has said he would like to be there for the test but understands if I'd rather do it alone. I had always planned on doing it alone so I could surprise him in a fun way, and because I think I'd feel pressured if he were watching/waiting with me. So this way I get to do it alone and surprise him, but I'll tell him right away, so it's not like I'm keeping it a secret for hours/days.posted 05/10/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
It was two days after xmas when I found out I was pregnant. So I told him that I had found a Christmas gift that I'd forgotten to give him. I video taped him, and when he opened it he said "I told you no baby stuff, you don't even know if you're pregnant" without realizing my point. When I said his name and he looked up at me and said "no way!"posted 12/29/2006 by lstump
My friend had a dream that we told her by having a party and filling our living room with balloons. Everyone was to grab a balloon and pop it and inside was a note that said "girl" or "boy"...it was also a fun way to try to guess which it would be by the number of girls and boys people popped.posted 01/03/2005 by a BabyCenter Member

I didn't reveal the news of my pregnancy in any exciting way, but after my ultrasound at 20 weeks I went to build a bear workshop and dressed a little bunny in pink baby clothes with pink ribbons on her ears. Because we didn't have a name picked out yet I put "Baby Girl________" with our last name on the birth certificateposted 04/26/2010 by linseycaitlin1
OMG! I love all these stories. I'm 6 weeks pregnant and my hormones are already going crazy. I've got tears streaming down my eyes just enjoying your stories. Thanks for sharing! :)posted 03/21/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm not pregnant yet but i am hopping this is the month!!!! :) I already have a one YO and a 7 YO step-daughter, however; this is the first "planned" child :) so we are waiting for this one and we are both so excited. I've read so many good ideas but i know im not going to be able to plan something and hold it in for that long, so when it comes to take the test in the morning when i wake up when my DH is still in bed im going to take a pic of the test if its possitive on my phone and send it to my DH in a text message that says GUESS WHAT??? And wait for him to get it :)posted 09/29/2008 by iluvmykaela
it was fathers day when i tested with my first. my husband was still sleeping. so i walked in there and sat on him and said "happy fathers day" and he mumbles something and went back to sleep... then his eyes flew open and he was like "wait what?!" and i handed him the test. this time i didnt bother with a test, we did a blood test at the doctor. we live in a tiny town now and so we had to give them our number because they had to send it to bismark (which is an hour away but the closest city to us that has the equiptment to process any kind of blood tests) and they said we would "have to wait a few days until they got the results back"... they were able to send it out that day yet and get back to us the next day, but since i lost my phone we left their number with them. so it was his turn to share the news with me.posted 07/11/2009 by his Enigma

The Office of Emergency Management is a unit of the Department of Police Services that is charged with coordinating all activities needed to prepare for and respond to both natural and man-made emergency situations. The responsibility for a campus emergency management program as required in California State University Executive Order #1056, has been delegated to the Department of Police Services. The Department is responsible for the implementation and maintenance of an emergency management system program on campus and the development and implementation of programs and projects in emergency planning, training, response and recovery. What is Emergency Management?
Spring 2016 Updates
Department Emergency Action Plans
CSUN Emergency Management has recently created a new template for department level emergency action planning. Each CSUN Department should have a plan in place for communication, evacuation, and any unique hazards that may exist in their areas. We are hosting a series of upcoming workshops to assist departments with this planning process:
- Thursday, May 12th 2-3PM
- Wednesday, June 8th 9-10AM
- Tuesday, June 28th 2-3PM
All sessions will be facilitated by Emergency Preparedness Manager Jenny Novak and will take place in DPS 212. Registration is available through the myNorthridge portal under Employee Learning & Training.
Building Evacuation Drills & Building Marshal Training
We have recently developed a plan to ensure that all buildings on campus receive building evacuation drills at least once over the next 18 months, with the goal of establishing drills as an annual occurrence. Planning building evacuation drills requires the support of the departments and occupants in each building, this includes the designation of Building Marshals and Principal Building Marshals for every building on campus. Building Marshals are required to attend a general, basic training session before building specific planning and training can begin. We encourage you to volunteer to assist with evacuations as a Building Marshal and/or to assist with recruiting additional Building Marshals in your area. We are hosting two upcoming training sessions:
- Wednesday, June 15th 10-11AM
- Tuesday, July 26th 2-3PM
All sessions will be facilitated by Emergency Preparedness Manager Jenny Novak and will take place in DPS 212. Registration is available through the myNorthridge portal under Employee Learning & Training.
