Don't let Munger buy the 76th state assembly district seat
Guest Commentary
by Maureen Guffanti
Don't let California billionaire Charles Munger, Jr. buy the 76th state assembly district seat.
Munger likes moderate, or RINO, Republicans, not conservatives. Conservative Sherry Hodges has extraordinary grass roots support, but will billionaire Munger succeed in buying the 76th state assembly district seat for moderate Rocky Chavez?
What did Munger donate? And who is Charles Munger? Here are the facts:
1. Munger's group, Spirit of Democracy California, donated over $500,000 to Rocky Chavez' campaign, according to the U-T story Nov 2, which also states, "His sister, Molly Munger, is the chief financier of Proposition 38 that seeks to raise income taxes on most to pay for public schools and other programs." For the U-T story
2. See the chart showing Munger's group's actual donation amounts and dates.
Who is Charles Munger? Here are excerpts from the blistering criticism Conservative analyst Steve Frank wrote of Munger July 12, 2012 on Conservative Action Alerts:
- "Munger has created a Soviet Union/China style election. While those countries had 'elections', it was only communists on the ballot."
- "Munger was also the man who spent millions to finance the passage of Prop. 14—which stopped all political parties from nominating candidates for the November General Election. The "Top Two" in the June primary, regardless of affiliation, even from the same Party, went to the November election."
- "Who is this rich person few have heard of before today? He is the son of the chief advisor to Warren Buffet, Charles Munger Sr. a billionair, (sic) Buffet is the man who believes Californians do not pay enough in property taxes."
- "Earlier this year Munger was rumored to have spent north of $100,000 to gut the Republican Party Platform—he did not like guns, mention of illegal aliens or saving babies as part of Republican principles. There was not a single section of the current GOP Platform that he didn't like or tried to gut."
Other writers have been shining the light on Munger. And if you look, you'll see Munger has donated to several other candidates, always favoring the moderate or RINO, over the conservative. And for propositions with the same effect, like Prop 14.
The Orange County Register columnist Martin Wisckol wrote of Munger: he helped fund propositions in 2008 and 2010 "which took state legislative and congressional redistricting out of the Legislature's hands. Those measures were billed as making more competitive districts that would elect more moderate representatives." (My emphasis added) Munger gave more than $1.3 million to those two measures." (May 17, 2012) See: http://www.ocregister.com/articles/munger-354755-daigle-mansoor.html
Don't be fooled by the billionaire's plans — vote for Sherry Hodges and forward this widely.

Are you equally concerned about Sheldon Adelson and the Koch brothers trying to buy the Presidency?
Let's see what percentage of Romney's effort was that money, as compared to the percentage of Rocky's effort being Munger. Then, you can talk.
I see, no response.
You have to love the Hodges campaign. First Hodges tried to ban books. Now she wants to ban donors. All 29% of registered Republicans in CALIFORNIA HEAR THIS: Sherry Hodges will now determine who can give to Republican candidates. Last person leaving the Tea Party sign the guest book…right after the Reform Party guy in 1992.
"Last person leaving the Tea Party sign the guest book"
Rocky Chavez was an exhibitor at the Stop Taxing Us Tax Day Tea Party, on April 16, 2012 He attended the Tri-City Tea Party on April 17, 2012. Rocky Chavez signed the Stop Taxing Us Taxpayer Promise in the early Spring of this year.
What am I missing, Patricia? Is something wrong with the tea party because Rocky Chavez has certainly paid fealty to the ones in his District.
It's a shame the party isn't fighting for the 79th and to a lot lesser extent the 39th senate district as hard as they are fighting each other for this guaranteed Republican seat. If republicans in California fought Democrats as viciously and aggressive as they do each other, we might actually be a viable party in this state.
A last ditch effort by a desperate Hodges campaign. A vote for Hodges is a vote to send someone to Scaramento to stand in the corner and scream about witchcraft in schools while the adults work.
Spin Zone, I notice that you didn't answer MY question so I will ask again: Are you offended anytime a billionaire tries to buy an election or only if that billionaire isn't supporting your candidate?
As for your question, the $32 million (or more) spent by Mr. Adelson directly on Romney's campaign (we don't know about Super PAC contributions) is certainly more than Mr. Munger is spending, but if you are only concerned about percentages, how about the amount Mr. Adelson spent on Newt Gingrich's Presidential run? Did that concern you?
As I thought. Your question was addressed to me? No, so why should I answer it. This is a Republican blog, bright boy. The author is writing about someone using significant money to buy an election between two Republicans. What happens at the presidential level may be of great interest and concern, but that's not this entry's subject matter.
Spin Zone,
I thought the topic was a billionaire trying to buy an election – something made legal by the Supreme Court in a decision that most Republicans cheered.
As a believer in the first amendment, I personally have no problem with anyone spending any amount of money to enhance their political beliefs (disclosure is a different issue, maybe for another day). My problem is with hypocrisy. So now I ask you directly: Do you believe the first amendment applies to everyone or only to those who support your chosen candidates?
Thanks for asking. I believe it applies to everyone, including the right for people like this blogger to write about it, hoping to influence voters in an Assembly race. As well as you, if you believe it will influence people about money at the presidential level. The right to spend the dollars is just as important as the right to point it out when it happens. I know we agree.
Spin Zone,
Thank you for clarifying that you do not have any objection to Mr. Munger spending his money as he sees fit. And I definitely have no objection to you or anyone else pointing out who Mr. Munger is and how much money he is spending. In fact, I believe that a requirement for prompt disclosure was the one piece missing in the Citizens United decision as we should have a right to know who is funding the campaigns and at what level.
The Tea Party is like the old Reform Party. Just a bunch of nuts who get together every 20 years or so. Like a bad high school reunion. Hey, has anyone seen the Tea Party Express around here?
The last comment by Maddow pretty much speaks for itself, dissing an entire movement because she's an unhappy person.
I am very happy today. An honest and honorable man just beat Hodges.
Q: Why did that honest and honorable man waste so much time with a bunch of nuts, Patricia? I can tell you that we never solicited his Taxpayer Promise nor his booth at the tax day tea party.
A: Rocky wanted support from that bunch of nuts.
Lets hope he keeps the promise he made to the tea party. I suspect he will. Do you?

1. Re: Data Block record count195388 Feb 18, 2003 11:26 PM (in response to 232913)depending on how many rows you return, upon completing the query, issue the built-in subprogram called 'LAST_RECORD' and retrieve the value of the current record from the system built-in record variable, and return using 'First_Record' to the top of the query.
Using sqlplus is a great way to give you and idea of how many rows a single query return to also give you some idea of how many rows are buffered in your data block.
2. Re: Data Block record count4157 Feb 19, 2003 12:00 AM (in response to 232913)I would suggest that you have a look at the online help for "calculated fields".
Since Forms 6 you can create fields that automatically will count the number of records in any block.
Its the simplest way, and you don't need to write any code for it.
3. Re: Data Block record count385629 Feb 20, 2003 8:01 AM (in response to 232913)For this u sud have Query_all record property set to Yes. Then write code in POST-QUERY
<Local Var> := TO_NUMBER(:SYSTEM.TRIGGER_RECORD);
I hope, this is answer to ur question.
4. Re: Data Block record count15280 Feb 20, 2003 1:21 PM (in response to 232913)This question has been asked many times.
I always wonder, that everybody propose using of Last_Record, which is the slowest way to count the upcomming records. It is event slower than to have an explicit "select count(1) from table_name" somewhere.
For this purpose Oracle Forms supports a special Block property called "Query_Hits". The property is beeing set if the built-in COUNT_QUERY is executed in "ON-COUNT" trigger and also is executed before EXECUTE_QUERY. So, you have to have 2 triggers and the code to fire the count
to fire the count do:
ON-COUNT trigger:
:total_records := Get_Block_Propety('BLOCK_NAME', Query_Hits);
:current_record := :System.Trigger_Record;
This is it!
Good luck!

Hawaii cleaning services from a trustworthy company!A company is only as good as its employees!
Cleaning is hard work. Yet sadly, most cleaning companies pay their workers near minimum wage. There is no way around getting quality employees. We pay them well; up to 100% more than typical cleaning companies. As a result, we are able to carefully select responsible, quality, trustworthy individuals. Our employees take pride in their work and value their jobs because of being properly compensated. We have very little employee turnover and zero theft problems! Thus, our employees have built long term relationships with our customers. This atmosphere of trust and professionalism is unmatched in the industry.
In addition, we provide our uniformed, fully trained and insured employees with the top of the line equipment and supplies to get the job done right.
How can we afford to do this?
While our profit margin may be a little smaller than typical companies, we feel that this investment in our employees has more than paid for itself. We are not dealing with constant employee turnover, training, and theft problems. Customers are pleased with our service and provide us with referrals. Thus, we are able to focus more on taking care of our customers instead of dealing with employee issues.

How to Secure an External Hard Drive
A stand-alone computer with an emphasis placed on physical security of the computer and controlling access to the data is the most secure computing platform for your sensitive data. An external hard drive is a modified version of the stand-alone computer, in effect keeping your sensitive data off the Internet or a LAN.
The emphasis for securing the data on an external hard drive is placed on removing the computer from the network while the external hard drive is in use, controlling access to the data directory, and physically securing the hard drive in a locked cabinet when not in use.
USB "thumb/jump" drives are NOT acceptable devices for this option. USB external hard drives, Firewire external hard drives, or EIDE hard drives in a Startech-type of removable device are acceptable options.
To make this scenario work, you need to remember and do only two things:
- Never have the network cable and external hard drive connected to the computer at the same time.
- Always secure the external hard drive in a locked cabinet, drawer, or safe when not in use.
Prerequisites for placing your sensitive data on an external hard drive:
- You need a private, lockable office, not a student computer lab.
- You need your statistical analysis applications installed on your local hard drive, not on a network server.
- You will need a new local userid on your PC. You will not be able to use your Domain Account.
- You may use Windows XP or Windows 7, Mac OS X, or Linux. You may not use Windows 95, 98, or NT4.
- You must not move the external hard drive from the location specified in your security plan (e.g., cannot move between office and home).
Follow these steps to prepare your computer for use with your sensitive data on an external hard drive:
- Power down the computer, which resides in a locked room accessible by authorized personnel only.
- Disconnect the network cable.
- Connect the external hard drive.
- Power up the computer.
- Login using the local userid created for accessing your sensitive data.
- Create separate directories on the external hard drive for your sensitive data and your program files.
- Using Windows Encryption (EFS), or another suitable encryption program, encrypt your sensitive data directory on the external hard drive. (Make sure you do not encrypt your program and documentation directories. You may also make backup copies of the program and documentation directories.)
- Configure your analysis software to point temporary work files to the encrypted sensitive data directory on the external hard drive.
- Password protect your screen saver and activate after three minutes of inactivity.
- Install a secure erasure program. This program should be run monthly and after the secure data has been removed from the computer at the end of the contract period. (Shred 2 is inexpensive and works well.)
Follow these steps each time you use your sensitive data external hard drive:
- Power down the computer.
- Disconnect the network cable. (Creating a hardware profile that disables the network interface card is an acceptable substitute for disconnecting the network cable.)
- Connect the external hard drive.
- Power up the computer.
- Login using your local userid.
- Do not leave your computer and external hard drive unattended.
- Do not copy or move your sensitive data out of the secured directory on the external hard drive for any reason.
Follow these steps when you are not using the sensitive data external hard drive:
- Logout.
- Power down the computer.
- Disconnect the external hard drive.
- Lock the external hard drive in a secure place (e.g., a file cabinet, drawer, or safe).
- Connect the network cable.

Barnsley will visit MK Dons in the fifth round of the FA Cup on the weekend that begins with Friday, February 15.
The Reds, who beat Burnley in the third round and Hull in the fourth round, are in the last 16 for the first time since they reached the semi-finals in 2008.
MK Dons are eighth in League One. They beat Barnsley's local rivals Sheffield Wednesday in the third round then won 4-2 at Premier League Queens Park Rangers in the last 32.
The teams have met five times since MK Dons were formed following the demise of Wimbledon. Barnsley were the Dons' first ever opponents in 2004 and the Reds have drawn three and won one of the sides' four league matches. Milton Keynes beat Barnsley in the League Cup in 2006.
MK Dons have former Barnsley player Anthony Kay in their squad.

Twenty-two year study sees increase for celiac disease but shows a decrease in dermatitis herpetiformis
Celiac disease is an immune reaction to eating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. If treatment is not received for celiac disease it can lead to osteomalacia or rickets in children, cancer including intestinal lymphoma and small bowel cancer, infertility, miscarriage and lactose intolerance. In the United Kingdom one in 100 people have celiac disease, with the prevalence rising to one in ten for close family members.
The National Institute of Health & Care Excellence (NICE) previously estimated that only 10 to 15 percent of those with celiac disease had been diagnosed, but according to current research by Dr. Joe West, PhD, Clinical Associate Professor and Reader in Epidemiology; Consultant Gastroenterologist, Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences from the University of Nottingham and colleagues have found a four-fold increase in the incidence of celiac disease in the United Kingdom over 22 years.
In this new study funded by funded by Celiac UK and CORE researchers conducted a large population-based study across all regions of the United Kingdom. The team used electronic medical data between 1990 and 2011, enabling researchers to determine variations in incidence and prevalence by age, sex, geographical region, and calendar time over a 22-year period.
Researchers identified a total of 9,087incident cases of celiac disease and 809 incident cases of dermatitis herpetiformis (DH). Dermatitis herpetiform is an extremely itchy rash consisting of bumps and blisters. The rash is chronic and it occurs in conjunction with celiac disease.
Between 1990 and 2011, the incidence rate of CD increased from 5.2 per 100,000 per 100,000 person-years. However, the incident of DH decreased over the same time period from 1.8 per 100,000 to 0.8 per 100,000 person-years. The absolute incidence of CD per 100,000 person-years ranged from 22.3 in Northern Ireland to 10 in London. There were large regional variations in prevalence for CD but not DH.
In their conclusion the researchers write "We found a fourfold increase in the incidence of CD in the United Kingdom over 22 years, with large regional variations in prevalence. This contrasted with a 4% annual decrease in the incidence of DH, with minimal regional variations in prevalence. These contrasts could reflect differences in diagnosis between CD (serological diagnosis and case finding) and DH (symptomatic presentation) or the possibility that diagnosing and treating CD prevents the development of DH."
In a news release Sarah Sleet, Chief Executive of Celiac UK commented This latest research shows that nearly a quarter of people with celiac disease have now been diagnosed and gives an up to date picture of the diagnosis levels across the UK. Of course, increasing numbers with a diagnosis is good news and will inevitably mean that there will be an increased demand for gluten-free products in supermarkets. But the three quarters undiagnosed is around 500,000 people -- a shocking statistic that needs urgent action."
The signs and symptoms of celiac disease can vary greatly. Typical signs of celiac disease are diarrhea and weight loss. Most people with celiac disease experience few or no digestive signs or symptoms. Around one-third of people diagnosed with celiac disease experience diarrhea, and about half have weight loss, 20% have constipation and 10% are obese. Other signs and symptoms of celiac disease include joint pain, headaches and fatigue, damage to dental enamel and reduced functioning of the spleen.
The only treatment for celiac disease is a gluten-free diet for life
This study appears in The American Journal of Gastroenterology.

I met Tianna Li briefly at the Children's Hospital Los Angeles annual "Prom" event in 2007. Attending this very special event and meeting Tianna and a few of the other CHLA patients that night touched my soul in a very deep and meaningful way. I knew right then that I had to get involved with the important work that the hospital was doing in the community.
I took a tour of Children's Hospital Los Angeles shortly thereafter and was amazed at the life saving and quality of life improving work being done to help so many children in need. After my moving hospital tour, I decided to start producing charity benefits to raise funds and awareness for Children's Hospital Los Angeles. It was through my 2008 Holiday campaign for the hospital where I truly got to know this remarkable young woman. Denise Muniz, The Assistant Vice President of Children's Miracle Network at the time, said she had the perfect person to be the CHLA teen ambassador for our holiday campaign. She told me the story of the incredible physical hardship that Tianna had survived with her very rare illness that she was diagnosed with when she was just a little girl. She said that no matter how hard it got for Tianna, she never complained because she was just happy to be alive. Tianna's mother doesn't speak English, and so Tianna was forced to communicate with her team of doctors and then translate everything in Chinese for her mother. Tianna handled herself like a mature adult during what truly was a very difficult time for her as a child. Denise raved about this bubbly, energetic, charismatic, caring and intelligent teen. Tianna turned out to be everything and more that Denise described. Tianna exceeded my expectations when I reconnected with her.
Tianna shared the stage at the star-studded red carpet benefit I produced for CHLA with our celebrity hosts Jessica Biel, Justin Timberlake and Kevin James, but those megawatt stars were upstaged by the dynamo that is Tianna Li. The 800 plus guests at my benefit were hanging on Tianna's every word as she explained how CHLA saved her life and how every penny raised at the benefit would help other children like her in need. During our live auction when Justin Timberlake was trying to get the bid up on a priceless experience package, Tianna grabbed the microphone, and with a few heartfelt words from her, hands from all over the room shot up, and suddenly we were raising triple the funds for the hospital. Tianna played a huge part in helping us reach our goals of purchasing a new ventilator for the neo-natal unit of the hospital, providing art and music therapy for hundreds of in-patient children and sending children with cancer to a fun-filled summer camp for two weeks.
Tianna also walked the red carpet at the benefit and handled herself like a pro when asked tough questions from the media about medical condition and the healthcare provided at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. At such a young age, Tianna demonstrated poise, grace and humility.
Since that event, Tianna has served as an ambassador for CHLA at all of the charity benefits that I have produced for the hospital over the years. She is such an incredible representative for CHLA and always makes the parties have a much deeper purpose when she shares her story with our guests. She has demonstrated elegance and a true talent for eloquent extemporaneous speaking far beyond her years.
I have come to appreciate Tianna Li over the last four years that I have known her, as one of the most special people I have ever met. I can honestly say that my life is better from knowing Tianna. It is not often that a person gets the chance to say that about another human being.
Tianna has been very active in helping to organize Dance Marathons to benefit Children's Hospital Los Angeles. She also dreams of starting her own non-profit as a conduit of continuing to raise money and awareness for her beloved Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
Tianna wrote the following to me last year about the non-profit she wishes to create: "Our mission is to generate funds and awareness for Children's Hospital Los Angeles, while uniting patients and families in the battle against chronic and terminal medical conditions. We hope to make a difference in the world of children's hospitals. Our vision is to provide hope, funding, and awareness to every children's hospital in the nation. We hope to unite all children's hospital patients and families in the battle against chronic and terminal medical conditions throughout the United States. We want every patient to feel like a superstar in their own lives. We want them to know that there is hope and that anything can happen when you just "believe."
Tianna's mission statement for her non-profit speaks to the wonderfully giving and selfless human being that she is. She has spent countless hours hard at work researching what it takes to start a non-profit and I am confident that she will make her dream a reality. Tianna is tenacious. She never gives up. As someone that has spent my entire career helping to raise tens of millions of dollars for non-profits, I can tell you that Tianna's determination and commitment will serve her well in her continuing role as a dedicated and successful fundraiser for children in need.
Tianna has also been an active member of her Speech & Debate team at school. As a former competitor during my middle and high school years, I have enjoyed following up on Tianna's practices and her successful competitions. When Tianna does something, she gives 110% and that is a major ingredient in what is bound to make her a massive success in life.
Tianna has aspirations of pursuing a career in marketing after college, which she is so perfectly suited for. She has tremendous experience, which she gained over the years as a CHLA ambassador. Her upcoming role this year, assisting me on marketing, publicity and production on star-studded and press worthy events around the GRAMMYS, Oscars and other high profile entertainment and sports events, will give Tianna a behind the scenes opportunity to work in her dream field. I can only hope that when she graduates from college, that she will come back and work with my company, as we would be lucky to have her on our team full time.
Tianna is currently applying for college and to some amazing institutions across the U.S. Her family doesn't have the means to afford Tianna's college education and so she is applying for every possible scholarship program she is eligble for. There is no doubt that on the merits of Tianna's academic achievements, extra-curricular activities and plethora of community service projects, that she deserves to be awarded a scholarship to help defray the cost of her education.
I can say without a doubt that Tianni Li would be an incredible asset to whatever university is fortunate enough to have her attend. Not only will Tianna rise to the challenge in her studies, but she will also be a leader amongst her peers and a socially responsible and active citizen who will continue to do her part to make the world a better place in every way she can. Tianna is someone who was born to touch people, to inspire others and to bring out the best in everyone she meets. Tianna will always be a positive reflection on the college she attends and her alma mater, just like the rest of the world, will be left better than when she found it.
Tianna is one of my personal heroes. I will forever be uplifted by her positivity, strength, beautiful energy and bright smile for everyone she meets. Tianna is a role model for both children and adults to overcome whatever adversity we are faced with and to do it with a smile.

Management scholars suggest that business performance is strongly influenced by the continuous stream of individual and organizational meaning-making. For individuals, this meaning-making is based on the "inner work life" of the mental interplay of perceptions, emotions, and motivations (Amabile & Kramer, 2007). For organizations, it consists in structures, routines, and processes which constrain and channel organizational efforts in a particular way (Ocasio, 1997; Rerup, 2009). The effectiveness of individual and organizational action and, ultimately, the level of performance will thus depend on how effective these processes and elements are. There are of course many different angles from which this issue could be viewed. However, some of the most powerful insights in this area have been provided by the recent research in mindfulness. Mindfulness can be conceptualised as a type of cognitive style (Dane, 2011) that refers to a state of active awareness, characterized by the creation and refinement of the categories for the experiences at hand, the openness to new information and the willingness to view situations from multiple perspectives, and finally by a suspension of judgment for as long as possible. These characteristics have been shown to underpin the effectiveness of the meaning-making processes mentioned above, thus making the mindfulness perspective an incredibly useful lens for conducting research in this area. The links between mindfulness on one hand and reliability, resilience, and performance on the other have been widely documented. For instance, it has been shown empirically that individuals who have learned to practice mindfulness show higher levels of performance, even after only 4 days of brief training sessions (Zeidan, Johnson, Diamond, et al., 2010). Likewise, although mindfulness is ultimately an individual-level process, high-reliability and high-performance organizations have been shown to exhibit the features of collective mindfulness (Weick & Sutcliffe, 2001). Although this evidence is valuable, many questions about the mechanism, context, and effects of mindfulness remain. We therefore invite research proposals focusing on the links between mindfulness, decision-making and performance management – on the levels of both individual and organizational performance. Some sample research topics are listed below, yet additional research topics in this area are also welcome.
• Mindful decisions in organisations: definition, scope, and boundary effects • Measuring employees' "inner work life" using a performance management system • Cognitive heuristics and biases in performance measurement: can mindfulness help? • The effect of mindfulness training on managing performance in organisations • Mindfulness perspective on inertia and change driven by performance management • Making organizational routines open to change and development • Organizations' ability to detect and amplify critical signals in the environment • Organizational costs of mindfulness

College Hockey:Union Creates Its Short List
According to various reports, Union is drawing closer to a field of finalists for its vacant head coaching position, and it apparently includes two-time national champion coach Jeff Jackson.
According the Albany Times-Union, former Clarkson coach Mark Morris applied but, like with the Vermont opening, is not being considered. Morris was fired last fall after 15 years at Clarkson in the aftermath of an alleged physical confrontation with a player.
Former Union assistants Kevin Patrick (now at Bowling Green) and John Micheletto (now at Notre Dame) are also considered candidates, as are current assistants Andrew Will and Greg Klym.
David Quinn — a Boston University graduate, the head coach of the U.S. Under-17 team and a finalist for the Vermont opening — was never a candidate. Sources indicated the Union athletic director Val Belmonte liked Quinn, but feared he would jump ship for a Hockey East school at the first chance. Meanwhile, Quinn has stated he was never interested in the position.
Other sources have indicated that Massachusetts assistant Bill Gilligan and Boston University Brian Durocher are interested, but neither were confirmed to be candidates.
USHR.com also reported that Dartmouth assistant Dave Peters, Boston College assistant Ron Rolston, and D-III St. John's head coach John Harrington were being given consideration.
Jackson won a national championship with Lake Superior in 1992 and 1994, before leaving to head up the fledgling U.S. National Team Development Program in 1996. After getting fired from that post, he became head coach of the major junior Guelph Storm (OHL) for over two years, before getting fired in the middle of last season. Jackson applied for the Vermont opening, but curiously never received consideration.

The International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA) has much pleasure in announcing the winner of the IFLA Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe Gold Medal 2009.
The winner is Professor Bernard Lassus of France. Professor Lassus was nominated by UNESCO under whose auspices the award is presented. The recipient is a practitioner whose merit, talent and actions are respected internationally. The Medal is presented once every four years and this is the second time of its presentation.
Professor Bernard Lassus was selected as the prize winner from an international jury of three – from Sweden, the UK, and Canada. The IFLA Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe Gold Medal is the highest honour that the International Federation of Landscape Architects may bestow upon a landscape architect. The medal recognises a living landscape architect whose lifetime achievements and contributions have had a unique and lasting impact on the welfare of society and the environment, and the promotion of the profession of landscape architecture.
The medal is presented in recognition of projects of outstanding quality and originality. The quadrennial competition is open to landscape architects throughout the world.
Professor Bernard Lassus gained a reputation as an artist in France from the late 1950's and then explored social uses of paintings and sculptures in industrial environments. At that time he was also Professor of Drawing at the School of Architecture at the Beaux-Arts in Paris and from there helped to found the Landscape School at Versailles. In 1982 he won a significant public project for the 'Gardens of Return' in Rochefort which has continued into 2000. He helped to develop a national Landscape Policy for Motorways in France and since then his influence in landscape design through his work and teaching at various universities in Europe and the USA has grown. He has also written 15 books.

MIT requires that all current employees and students receive salary payments from the Institute by direct deposit. Direct deposit is a free service that automatically deposits your paycheck into an account at the financial institution of your choice. The financial institution that you choose must be located in the United States and accept Automated Clearing House transactions. Direct deposit will significantly reduce paycheck processing costs incurred by the Institute.
Direct deposit is a secure, convenient and fast alternative to traditional checks. Direct deposit eliminates the risk of lost or stolen checks and saves you from waiting in lines at the bank. In addition, many banks offer free or low-cost accounts when you use direct deposit.
Additional Bank Account
Beginning with the release of Atlas 3.0, employees will have the option of designating an additional bank account for their payroll direct deposits. This new feature provides an easy, efficient way to allocate funds for savings or another purpose.
To use this payroll option, go to Atlas, navigate to the About Me page, and select "Direct Deposit Preferences" from the Money Matters menu. It's a simple process that takes just a few minutes, and you can choose to designate the contribution by dollar amount or by percentage.

Derrick Smith, an Illinois state representative, was convicted on Tuesday of accepting a $7,000 bribe just before he won the Democratic primary in 2012, according to a Chicago Tribune report on Tuesday. Speaking to reporters about the unanimous verdict, Smith still suggested his innocence by saying, "God knows the truth." The jurors deliberated just four hours before turning over the guilty verdict against Smith.
Smith, 50, has been found guilty on felony counts of bribery and extortion. He will now lose his legislative seat, as the move is automatic via Illinois state law. Smith was almost finished with his service to the state as a representative anyway since he lost the Democratic primary of which he was a candidate earlier this year. After being charged with the felonies, he refused to step down as a candidate but lost.
Smith is just one of many Illinois politicians who have been caught using their political position for financial gain in the recent past. In Smith's case, he accepted $7,000 in cash in exchange for writing a letter of support for a daycare operator in his governmental district. The letter was written for the daycare operator to get a very profitable state grant. Little did Smith know, however, that he was dealing with undercover agents who were part of an FBI investigation. Smith took the bait and has finally been found guilty. The felony charges were focused on many recordings that were recorded by an undercover informant approximately two years ago, says the Sun-Times.
Smith and his legal representation continue to state that Smith was set up in the incident. His attorney said that there was no crime, but it was fabricated and it was a ruse. Assistant U.S. Attorney Marsha McClennan disagrees. She said that public officials don't take bribes out in the open. It's done behind closed doors with people they trust – which makes undercover work, as Smith was subjected to, essential to most bribery investigations.

It has been a whirlwind season thus far for Canada's Patrick Chan.
Winning his first Skate Canada International title in the city of his birth was exciting enough but claiming his second Trophée Eric Bompard title in Paris was the icing on the cake.
"I was not very pleased with my performance at Skate Canada," Chan said. "I did not feel like I deserved it but a lot of officials and judges came up to me and said that even though I made some technical mistakes I was the best. They kind of made me feel better."
Chan led a North American sweep of the Skate Canada podium ahead of America's silver medalist Ryan Bradley and Evan Lysacek who took the bronze.
Asked for the reaction of his coach Don Laws following his win in Ottawa, Chan laughed. "He was happy. He said, 'Don't do that to me again,' meaning don't scare him," Chan said. "He was worried that I would not win because I did not skate my best."
Chan gives credit to Laws and choreographer Lori Nichol. "Lori and I put in a lot of work and that has paid off," Chan said. "The judges are seeing better skating skills and artistry from me."
He admitted to being tentative heading into the competition in Paris. "I was pretty nervous, I went in not expecting to win with Brian (Joubert) there," Chan said. "I won with luck last year because Brian was not skating.
"I thought to myself, 'Just do better than you did at Skate Canada. As long as I skate a better program than I did at Skate Canada I will be satisfied."
Chan won the event with a seven-point plus margin over 2008 Skate America champion, Takahiko Kozuka of Japan. Frenchman Alban Préaubert claimed the bronze medal while Joubert ended up a distant fourth. "I won that event twice in a row but I was doubting myself a bit beforehand," Chan admitted. "I thought it would be a really interesting competition. I am very proud of myself."
But beating Joubert does not really count in Chan's opinion. "I think it is a matter of getting that first program out of the way, which Brian did in Paris," Chan said. "I am sure he felt the pressure. It was crazy every time he went out to practice or he skated. The French fans just love him. It was so loud!"
Skate Canada High Performance Director Mike Slipchuk said Chan's strength is in his grade of execution (GOE) scores. "They are very high. Patrick tends to capitalize on a lot of things other skaters don't," Slipchuk said. "The packaged program proves that is what you need to win. It is kind of the direction that skaters have to move in."
Chan flew from Paris directly to Florida where Laws resides. "I wanted to keep training with Don and I am really focused on training when I am here – there are no distractions," he said.
Attending regular high school in Toronto has been put on the back burner temporarily for the 17-year-old student. Chan is currently taking two online courses in economics and politics for which he will receive credits at the end of the school year.
Chan was the first man to qualify for the 2009 Grand Prix Final. He said he and his coach are not planning on making any adjustments to his programs before the competition in Korea. "I am working on the quad toe and just getting consistency with the jumps and becoming more and more comfortable with the programs," he said.
"I think Korea will be interesting. Hopefully I will land both of the triple Axels in my long program this time," he said with humor. "I made a bit of a progression with the second Axel in my two competitions so far. I fell on the second Axel at Skate Canada and in Paris I stayed vertical but fell out of it."
Chan said his only goal at the final this year is to place higher than his fifth place last season.
Another part of skating Chan truly appreciates are the fans. "I want to thank them because no matter what, my fans are always happy and they always tell me that they really love my skating," he said. "It really makes me feel good."
When asked what he does with the gifts thrown onto the ice after his performances, Chan said he tries to keep as many as possible. "Sometimes I run out of suitcase space, and I donate what I cannot carry home to charities," he said.
Reflecting on his two performances this season, Chan was positive. "I am very happy because it (the results) shows anything can happen. You never know."
The Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final will be held in Goyang City, Republic of Korea Dec. 10-14.
IFS will be in Korea to cover this exciting competition.

Round 1 Results
DUNNELLON, Fla. - The Northern Illinois University women's golf team sits in 14th after the first round of play at Morehead State's 2014 Ocala Spring Invitational at the Juliette Falls Golf Course Sunday.
"We didn't do a good job of hitting fairways today," said NIU head coach Kim Kester. "We put ourselves in tougher situations than we needed to be in.
"They weren't too happy with how they performed today. They worked on what they needed to and they're ready to go for tomorrow. That's what you want to see. We didn't shoot ourselves in the foot by any means, but we have a little bit of work to do."
The Huskies fired a 314 with Connie Ellett (Hampshire, Ill./Hampshire) and Lena Gautier (LaCelle Saint Cloud, France/Creteil) leading the way for NIU. The pair each carded a 76 in their first round of play and are in 26th.
"Lena started out a couple under par through the first six holes," Kester said. "Lena had an up and down round, but she managed it pretty well. Connie just stayed consistent like she always does. She hit some pretty good shots out there. When she got in trouble, she got herself out of trouble."
Casey LaBarbera (Marinette, Wis./Marinette) scored an 80 and puts her in 64th in her first tournament of the spring, while freshman Sydney Brickey's (Burtchville, Mich./Shattuck-St. Mary's) 82 places her in 75th.
Jenny Niemiec (St. Charles, Ill./St. Charles East) rounds out the Huskie competitors. The NIU senior shot an 86 and is in 84th.

Review of the "Shutdown" by Brooks, Dionne, Coulter, and Hannity
The Left has been positively giddy over their putative "victory" in the "shutdown", which they proclaim will force the GOP to abandon the vanquished Tea Party Movement once and for all.
In this annotated video, you can hear two of the Left's most self-righteous elites, David Brooks (NY Times) and EJ Dionne (Washington Post), as they exult over their presumed defeat of the Tea Party movement. Following that, you'll see an emphatic counter-punch from conservatives Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity.

P1-1A Presented below are five independent situations.
(a) Three physics professors at MIT have formed a business to improve the speed of information
transfer over the Internet for stock exchange transactions. Each has contributed
an equal amount of cash and knowledge to the venture. Although their approach
looks promising, they are concerned about the legal liabilities that their
business might confront.

friends since childhood. They have decided to start a consulting business focused on

(e) Mark Willis wants to rent CD players and CDs in airports across the country. His
idea is that customers will be able to rent equipment and CDs at one airport, listen
to the CDs on their flights, and return the equipment and CDs at their destination
airport. Of course, this will require a substantial investment in equipment and CDs,
as well as employees and locations in each airport. Mark has no savings or personal
assets. He wants to maintain control over the business.

partnership, or corporation. Give reasons for your choice.

enough cash to increase the amount of dividends paid to investors in this and
future years, and still have enough cash to buy equipment as it is needed.

emphasis on information provided by the income statement, balance sheet, or statement
of cash flows. In each case provide a brief justification for your choice. Choose only
one financial statement in each case.

December 31, 2012
Assets Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity
Cash $20,000 Accounts payable $30,000
Accounts receivable 50,000 Notes payable 15,000
Inventory 36,000 Boat loan 22,000
Boat 24,000 Stockholders' equity 64,000
John willingly admits that he is not an accountant by training. He is concerned that his
balance sheet might not be correct. He has provided you with the following additional
1. The boat actually belongs to Paulus, not to Gabelli Corporation. However, because
he thinks he might take customers out on the boat occasionally, he decided to list it
as an asset of the company. To be consistent, he also listed as a liability of the corporation
his personal loan that he took out at the bank to buy the boat.
2. The inventory was originally purchased for $25,000, but due to a surge in demand
John now thinks he could sell it for $36,000. He thought it would be best to record
it at $36,000.

5 years ago. John included this in the receivables of Gabelli Corporation so he
wouldn't forget that his brother owes him money.

up toxic waste sites. Each has contributed an equal amount of cash and knowledge
to the venture. The use of bacteria in this situation is experimental, and legal obligations
could result.
(d) Brittany Medler has run a successful, but small cooperative health food store for over
20 years. The increased sales of her store have made her believe that the time is right
to open a national chain of health food stores across the country. Of course, this
will require a substantial investment in stores, inventory, and employees in each store.
Brittany has no savings or personal assets. She wants to maintain control over the
(e) Cheryl Lamb and Tom Majors recently graduated with masters degrees in economics.
They have decided to start a consulting business focused on teaching the basics of
international economics to small business owners interested in international trade.
In each case, explain what form of organization the business is likely to take—sole proprietorship,
partnership, or corporation. Give reasons for your choice.
P1-2B Financial decisions often place heavier emphasis on one type of financial statement
over the others. Consider each of the following hypothetical situations independently.
(a) An investor is considering purchasing common stock of the Bally Total Fitness company.

(b) Boeing is considering extending credit to a new customer. The terms of the credit

and sole stockholder. At December 31, 2012, Joanna prepared an income statement
for Austin Corporation. Joanna is not an accountant, but she thinks she did a reasonable
job preparing the income statement by looking at the financial statements of other companies.
She has asked you for advice. Joanna's income statement appears as follows.
Income Statement
For the Year Ended December 31, 2012
Accounts receivable $17,000
Service revenue 47,000
Rent expense 10,000
Insurance expense 7,000
Vacation expense 4,000
Net income $43,000
Joanna has also provided you with these facts.
1. Included in the service revenue account is $3,000 of revenue that the company earned
and received payment for in 2011. She forgot to include it in the 2011 income statement,
so she put it in this year's statement.
2. Joanna operates her business out of the basement of her parents' home. They do
not charge her anything, but she thinks that if she paid rent it would cost her
about $10,000 per year. Therefore, she included $10,000 of rent expense in the income
3. To reward herself for a year of hard work, Joanna went to Greece. She did not use
company funds to pay for the trip, but she reported it as an expense on the income
statement since it was her job that made her need the vacation.

(b) Prepare a corrected income statement for Austin Corporation.

We've also yet to find a girl who doesn't look good in deep emerald green! Pair with dark tights, flats and a cardigan for work, or strappy stilettos and a bunch of sparkly jeweled bracelets for a perfectly put-together party ensemble.
