text: The following are tips that can help you avoid becoming a victim of a crime when you are out and about, around campus or on your way to or from campus. By taking a few simple precautions, you can reduce the risk to yourself, and also discourage those who commit crimes. Burglars, robbers, and thieves seek primarily to remove cash or property. Many such perpetrators are capable of harming people with little provocation, so whether at school or out on the street, these precautions should be taken.

The San Francisco Art Exchange has unveiled a portfolio of five never-before-seen limited-edition original silver gelatin photographs of the Beatles by legendary cameraman Jim Marshall, the gallery told Beatles Examiner.
The photographs were just released by the Marshall Estate. The portfolio celebrates the 50th anniversary of The Beatles' arrival in the U.S. and the 59th Annual Grammy Awards which honored both The Beatles and Marshall. The Beatles were given a Lifetime Achievement Award, while Marshall received a Trustees Award.
- See the five photos, courtesy of the San Francisco Art Exchange, in the slideshow.
Jim Marshall was the only photographer to shoot The Beatles' final live stadium concert which took place in San Francisco at Candlestick Park on Aug. 29, 1966. The portfolio features an individual portrait of each of the Beatles, and a shot of the performance with the whole group onstage. According to the gallery, Marshall photographed them before the show relaxing backstage and visiting with friends, and then took photos of the concert itself. The portfolio is available individually or as a matched numbered set.
The gallery says that while the estate has decided they will not reprint any of the photographs he signed and sold during his lifetime, they will occasionally release limited editions of images not previously available as signed photographs. The San Francisco Art Exchange says it is one of only three galleries worldwide with access to Marshall's personal archive of signed photographs and the estate's limited releases.
More information is available at the gallery website.

(Via AZcentral.com)
The NFL season is finally over. For the New York Jets it's been over for weeks. The crappy Jets went absolutely nowhere this season. That isn't Tim Tebow's problem, though. He's the full time starter now for Team Jesus, as he is every off-season.
Tim Tebow is a professional Christian.
This past Sunday (I believe that would have been Super Bowl Sunday), Tebow made an appearance at the Impact Church, located in an "air park" in Scottsdale. There he entertained "an enraptured audience with tales of his Christianity", according to AZCentral.com, a web site, presumably published in Central Arizona.
The site goes on to say that Tebow was "was equal parts humble and confident, secure and self-deprecating." and that "the crowd roared its approval in a way that parishioners fainting in the aisles seemed inevitable."
Wow. Fainting.
Tebow's appearance was by no means free, of course. These gigs go about fiddy-kay a pop. He will do many, many more throughout the Spring and Summer, proving that, no matter how the NFL tries to keep him down, Tim Tebow is a starter on Jesus' team.

The Chairman of the National Authority for the Campaign against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) John Mututho is calling on the National Assembly to pass a law that will form an inspectorate department for the authority.
He says the department would be critical in enforcing the law noting that he can only recommend arrests to the National Police Service which are rarely effected.
While addressing journalists on Friday, Mututho complained that a section of police officers were colluding with illegal brewers of alcohol worsening the situation further.
"We need to look at possible amendments so that we have a body which has muscles but as per now, the anti-narcotic people only sit on our board meetings, we do not know what they do in their offices," he lamented.
"It is not something for glorifying Mututho; other institutions have their enforcing units. For the last week we have attended to 2,025 cases, we follow viciously."
He said that the authority was also carrying an analysis on all the 3,300 brands of alcohol in the country in a bid to establish a list of safe drinks.
"We have 3,300 brands of alcohol within our borders and each of the brands is being analysed for 80 parameters... we are checking if they are permissible within the World Health Organisation and local standards," he said.
"We will be banning all recycled containers like the bottles for spirits."
On Tuesday, Mututho said at least 12 million Kenyans take alcohol every day. Of these, Mututho had told the National Assembly Committee on Administration and National Security, that about two million are addicts who need rehabilitation services.
He further said that the country consumes over 70 percent of alcohol produced in the East Africa region.
"We have currently about 15 million Kenyans who are said to be drinking regularly and about 12 million Kenyans who drink daily," he stated.
"If 12 million Kenyans are drinking daily and are taking only Sh100, that's Sh1.2 million daily going to alcohol which amounts to over Sh400 billion in a year."
He went on to reveal that: "We are consuming about 70 to 75 percent of all the alcohol consumed in East Africa as per now. Those figures when you bring together with what is available from Kenya Revenue Authority even in terms of VAT are missing. Where does that money go to? It goes to crime, drugs among other things."

Study Links Cooking Habits To Longevity
by VR Sreeraman on June 10, 2012 at 4:21 PM Diet & Nutrition News - G J E 4
A new research has linked cooking habits to longevity saying that those eating home-cooked meal stays healthy and live longer.
Researchers from Monash University, the National Defense Medical Center and the National Health Research Institute, Taiwan, found that people who cooked at home at least five times a week were 47 percent more likely to still be alive after 10 years.
AdvertisementThe study looked at the cooking habits of Taiwanese living independently aged over 65 years. When researchers followed up 10 years later, they found of the surviving participants that frequent cooking was a significant factor in their health and long life, the journal Public Health Nutrition reported.
Of the participants, 31 percent reportedly prepared meals at home at least five times per week, 17 percent cooked no more than twice a week, nine percent cooked at home three to five times per week, while the remainder (43 percent) reported that they never cooked at home, according to a university statement.
Mark Wahlqvist, emeritus professor from Monash University's Asia Pacific Health and Nutrition Center at the Monash Asia Institute, who led the study, said those who cooked more often had a better diet.
"We found those that cooked more frequently had a better sense of nutritional knowledge than those who didn't. Cooking is an activity that requires both good mental and physical health," Wahlqvist said.
"We found that those who cooked more frequently had a better diet and more favorable nutrient densities," he said.
"It is therefore possible that cooking is related to longevity through food choice and quality," added Wahlqvist.

I'm trying to gain Administrator privileges on an industrial brake press so we can install a wifi dongle for networking. The problem is I don't have the password for the admin account and the company who sold us the equipment, the only people with said password, is essentially trying to extort us for it.
If I could boot from USB this wouldn't be an issue but I can't open boot options or BIOS settings on startup and USB boot is disabled by default. I'm really more of a GNU-Linux guy so I'm not certain how to proceed.
Is there a way to install drivers without the admin password, perhaps by way of the registry? Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Namba Parks-Osaka, Japan
User Rating:
/ 18
Namba Parks is an office and shopping complex located in the Namba district, Osaka, Japan. It consists of a high office building called Parks Tower and a 120-tenant shopping mall with rooftop garden. Namba Parks was developed by Jon Jerde of The Jerde Partnership in the footprint of the since closed Osaka Stadium.
Various kinds of restaurants (Japanese, Korean, Italian, etc.) are located on the 6th floor, and shops are located on the 2nd to 5th floors. There is also an amphitheater for live shows, as well as space for small personal vegetable gardens and wagon shops.
Namba Parks was conceived as a large park, a natural intervention in Osaka's dense urban condition. Alongside a 30-story tower, the project features a lifestyle commercial center crowned with a rooftop park that crosses multiple blocks while gradually ascending eight levels. In addition to providing a highly visible green component in a city where nature is sparse, the sloping park connects to the street, making it easy for passers-by to enter its groves of trees, clusters of rocks, cliffs, lawn, streams, waterfalls, ponds and outdoor terraces. Beneath the park, a canyon carves a path through specialty retail, entertainment and dining venues.

Okay, you've invited three friends over for dinner. One is vegan, one is gluten-free and the other only eats raw food. Planning an entrée that satisfies everyone is probably already enough to make you break out in hives. But dessert? This gang will be lucky to get an apple!
But wait. Earth Café – based in California, of course – saves the day with their amazing cheesecake. Vegan? Check. Gluten-free? Yep. Raw? Really? Yes. And edible? Very much so.
The folks at Earth Café recently sent me four flavors of their raw vegan cheesecake to sample. Here's one of their secrets: whatever the flavor is supposed to be, make that your main ingredient. So the "strawberry fields forever" is mainly strawberries, and the "banana dream cream" is mostly bananas. Fortunately the "Who's your daddy?" is not made of fathers – which wouldn't be vegan – but of carob.
Instead of dairy, these cheesecakes are made with soaked nuts, coconut and coconut butter. So they're not a low fat dessert. Each slice contains about 400 calories, including 30 grams of fat. They're sweetened with agave. Between agave and the fruit, you'll ingest about 15 grams of sugar per slice.
Earth Café has done an impressive job with its distribution. Any company that manages to supply raw, vegan desserts to stores in North Dakota knows what it's doing.
You can try 10 different flavors of cheesecake. Like most prepared raw foods, slices are pricey, retailing for $5.99 each. You can order a full cheesecake – that's eight slices – online for $34.99.

Families with special-needs children gathered at Oakland's Highland General Hospital Dental Clinic on March 3 for Give Special Kids a Smile, an event which offered free dental care to families in need. The event was the result of a joint partnership between Highland Hospital, the Dugoni School of Dentistry and the Alameda County Dental Society. It was organized by Dr. Anthony Mock, director of the Highland Hospital Dental Clinic, and Dr. Allen Wong, director of Hospital Dentistry at the Dugoni School.
Children with special needs are a population vulnerable to dental caries (cavities), and often need complex dental care. Event attendees received dental screenings, oral hygiene education, caries risk assessment, fluoride varnish, X-rays and minimally invasive procedures as needed. Each participant was also given a tour of a dental clinic and a dental goody bag. The participants were individually counseled on brushing and flossing techniques, and guided in the use of new battery-operated toothbrushes provided in their goody bags.
The event was supported by volunteer dentists from Highland Hospital and the Alameda County Dental Society, as well as student volunteers from Pacific's Student Community Outreach for Public Education (SCOPE), area dental hygiene programs. and post baccalaureate students from San Francisco State University and CSU East Bay. Other community volunteers were also on hand to help. Special Olympics Special Smiles generously donated supplies for the event.
In addition to providing care, Give Special Kids a Smile was also meant to bring awareness to the dental community about the access-to-care issues facing vulnerable populations. Physical and intellectual disabilities can alter how dental treatment is administered and received, and it's important for dental professionals to understand how to care for patients with special needs.
"By hosting this event we decided to honor children with special needs and their families," said Wong. "Our hope is to lessen preventable dental disease, pain and suffering in one of the most at-risk populations as well as increase the access to care issue."
Prior to the start of the day, Wong provided an orientation on the concerns of people with special needs, access to care and the new sciences of caries risk. He also raised awareness for this year's kickoff of the "R-word: Spread the Word to End the Word" campaign.
Give Special Kids a Smile was held to coincide with the American Dental Association's Give Kids a Smile® Program and National Children's Dental Health Month. Each year more than 1,500 Give Kids a Smile events — which all offer free dental care and education — are held throughout the United States. It's estimated that approximately 400,000 children benefit from Give Kids a Smile events annually.

Most children love Dora the Explorer. The perfect age group for a Dora party are children ages 2-5. You will want a few games to play with them so here are some great ideas for you.
A Dora the Explorer pinata is sure to be a hit at your party! The kids will love swinging with all their might and trying to get the candy out of the pinata. This one is simple. You just sit it up and let the kids swing away. Fill it with candy or small goodies they would enjoy receiving.
Pin the Boot on Boots
One of the best episodes of Dora the Explorer is when her friend Boots the monkey loses his boot. He is upset and they help him to find it. This game is just like Pin the Tail on the Donkey. You will need a picture of Boots hanging on the wall. Cut his boot off so that he isn't wearing one. You will need to make a few copies of this boot for the kids to use for the game. Place some tape on the boot and blindfold the children. Spin them around in circles until they get a bit dizzy and then let them try to give boots his precious boot back.
Dora the Explorer Map Game
On a large piece of poster board make a picture just like map has on the show. You will put three places for the children to go on their adventure. Give each child a backpack with the items they will need inside of it. This also works as the party favor they get to take home with them. You will take them on an adventure around the room or even outside. You can build a mountain on the table or a small creek out of paper on the floor for them to cross. You will want to have the child get out their rope to get across the creek. Use your imagination and just think of what Dora does on the show. Make sure you have Swiper the Fox try to steal something from them. They will all scream, "Swiper No Swiping!" The kids will have a blast with this game!

Daddy and Uncle John (MMF, ANAL, CON, INC)
March 11, 2012, 12:50:19 PM »
(((Long time reader, first time poster. Hope you like it and thanks for all the stories that have cum before.)))
One day when I went to Daddy's house there was a strange man there. "Come on in baby" Daddy told me. "This is my good friend. You can call him Uncle John." he said.
"Hi Uncle John" I said.
Daddy told Uncle John "This is my little fuck toy I was telling you about."
"Not so little." John observed.
Daddy laughed. "No, you are right. She is a big girl. And in all the right places too. Baby be a good girl and show us your titties."
I took off my blouse and my bra and Daddy grabbed my titty. "Watch this," he said to John. Daddy put my tit in he mouth and sucked. Instantly my nipple was hard and stood out long and straight, the way Daddy liked it.
Uncle John laughed. "Very nice" he said, as he reached out and began to suck my other titty.
I reached down and felt my Daddy's and Uncle John's cocks growing hard in their pants and began to rub them. I could feel them getting harder as Daddy and Uncle John played with my titties, sucking them and biting them.
Daddy told Uncle John, "She has the softest mouth, you are going to love this." Then Daddy looked firmly at me. "You be nice to Uncle John," he said.
"Yes Daddy, I will." I said.
Uncle John stood up and unzipped his pants. His cock stood out and was pointing at me. I got on my knees and began licking and sucking Uncle John's cock the way my Daddy had told me to. Uncle John groaned.
Daddy unzipped his pants too and stroked his cock for a few minutes while he watched me suck Uncle John's cock. Then Daddy said, "I am sure she is ready to fuck. This slut is always ready to fuck. But let me make sure."
Daddy pulled off my panties and lifted my skirt. "You just keep being nice to Uncle John," he told me. Then he stuck his fingers in soaking wet pussy and began to fuck me with his fingers. Daddy fucked me harder and harder with his fingers while I sucked Uncle John's dick. "Ok, you are going to cum for Daddy now. Show Uncle John what a good slut you are and cum now."
I moaned. Uncle John held my head on his cock while I came. Daddy held up his hand, dripping with my cum and showed Uncle John. "Damn," Uncle John said.
Daddy laughed. "Yeah she always does that. She sure is a fun thing to play with. Why don't you give her a go? Her pussy is even softer then her mouth, and her ass is as tight as a vice grip. Take your pick. "
"Well," Uncle John said. "Pussy is a lot easier to get than ass. I'd love to cum in her ass."
Daddy spanked my ass. "All right, girl. Maybe if you are good, I'll fuck you too. It depends how good you do for Uncle John though." Daddy handed Uncle John the bottle of slippery stuff he always used when he fucked my asshole.
Uncle John told me to get on the floor and put my ass in the air so he could reach it. He rubbed the lube all over my asshole and even put some inside. Then Uncle John shoved his cock in hard. I moaned on the floor. "Oooh, Daddy, Uncle John's cock feels so good in my ass. Oh Daddy, he is fucking me." I kept moaning as Uncle John's sawed in and out of my tight ass.
"Yeah, he sure is Baby," Daddy said. "You are a slut for liking it so much." He looked at Uncle John. "Let's give this slut a DP."
Daddy lay down on the floor and told me to get on him. I slid Daddy's cock into my pussy, and Uncle John shoved his cock back in my ass.
I couldn't say anything. I felt so full of cock, with my Daddy's cock in my pussy and Uncle John fucking my asshole. Daddy was right when he called me a cock-loving slut. I couldn't help it. It felt so good.
I felt Uncle John tense up. "Fuck, I'm gonna cum. Larry, I am going to fill your slut's ass."
Daddy said, "Yep, you do that. That is what she is there for."
I felt Uncle John's hot cum squirt deep in my ass, and then he pulled his cock out.
Daddy told me to get off of him and and lie on my back. Then Daddy asked Uncle John if he wanted to make me cum. "It's a hellofa lot of fun," Daddy said. "Just fuck her with your fingers and tell her when you want her to cum. I haven't cum yet so she's nice and clean."
Uncle John looked at Daddy in disbelief. "She cums on command?" he said.
Daddy said, "You better believe it. She is the one of the best fuck toys I've had."
Uncle John put two fingers in my pussy and one in my just-fucked asshole and began to fuck me hard. I moaned and yelled as Uncle John fucked me harder and harder. "You gonna cum for Uncle John?" he asked me.
Of course I did. With a loud yell I let go, and felt the messy wetness squirt all over Uncle John's hand. I didn't notice that Daddy was rubbing his cock while Uncle John was making me cum and when Daddy's cum went all over my face and titties I was surprised.
Uncle John put his pants back on and went into the bathroom to wash up. When he came out he told Daddy he had to go.
Daddy spanked my ass hard. "What do you say, girl?"
I looked up at Uncle John. "Thank you for fucking me, Uncle John."
"Well," he said, "it was a good time. I'd like to do it again sometime."
"If my Daddy says its ok"
"Right," Uncle John said. "See you later Larry."
"See you John-Boy"
When Uncle John left I looked at Daddy. "Did I do a good job, Daddy?"
Daddy kissed me. "Yes ,baby, you did. You fucked like a good slut."
Happy, I skipped off to take a shower.

Namaste dear friends ~
I am sharing part of a download of information I received this morning concerning the work of the
active Lightworkers and Lightwarriors who are consciously here to assist with the Ascension process.
I do not share this on channelings for obvious reasons, as many have not followed our blogs over the
past few years on our work and experiences as the massive downloads occurred mostly in 2011.
For the 'first-wavers' as we are called, the ground work continues in our communities. We have been
readied for this continued work by being rejuvenated after some rather heavy work in what I call areas
of light-resistance, or in earth terms, very negative areas in our communities. We were quite depleted
of our personal resources on earth, including energy and material resources, which will are being rectified.
I will share an excerpt from the Denise Le Fay Channeling, Polarized Thinking of Sudden or Gradual,
which explains a lot about our work here on Earth, happening in 'waves.'
" You see, the Ascension Process has been happening for the past twenty-five years with some Starseeds,
Lightworkers, Wayshowers doing it first, incrementally year after year, Wave after energy Wave, transmuting
and integrating density and duality within themselves for humanity, Earth and many other-dimensional Beings
as well. Stair Steps remember? These Stair Steps have been absolutely necessary even for the
Starseeds/Lightworker/Wayshowers. First Wavers, Second Wavers, Third Wavers etc. are Stair Steps them-
selves. This Ascension Process HAS been happening "gradually" from our perspectives on Earth in physical
bodiesdown in the difficult Ascension trenches, but it's been happening amazingly quickly from higher
dimensional levels and perspectives outside of linear time.
" There had to be a Group of Starseeds/Lightworkers/Wayshowers who would live the Ascension Process first
as the way to embody and insert it in the physical dimension for the rest of humanity that would begin it them-
selves at later dates. Growing numbers of "regular" people (by "regular" I mean people who don't consciously
know anything about the Ascension Process, the astrological Age change, the end of this Evolutionary Cycle, the
26,000-yearlong precessional cycle completing now including many others all completing in December 2012 etc.)
have been living the Ascension Process for many years too, but they haven't consciously known what they're going
through and why. So whether a Starseed/Lightworker/Wayshower or "regular" folk, this Ascension Process has
been happening "gradually" since about 1987, but in those all-important and absolutely necessary incremental
energy Stair Steps."
The above information was posted on 27th September, and I must add that hearing this from a well-known blogger/
channeler was an enormous relief as it seems to add weight when someone is already known and trusted on the
internet with spiritual messages. Unfortunately, I don't have a website and don't have the time to 'make a name for
myself,' but for those who do know me, know well that I only share pure spiritual information firsthand from the
Higher Realms where many of us come from.
I am not here to promote myself in any way, I just know that there are folks who are members who don't like to get
involved on the website, re comments, etc., so I share news for them also.
What Denise has said about the lighjtworkers/warriors is absolutely correct. The ascension process is divinely
orchestrated and timed. It has nothing to do with being saved by spaceships and taken to a higher dimension, etc.
It is a spiritual transformation, that is why we all need to keep clearing out and letting go. There is nothing to fear
on the subject of letting go as you only have much to gain by having empty hands in which to fill new energy and a
new enlightened life.
So, here we go with another round of lightwork within our communities. If you want to assist in any way, just BE
love and bring in that spiritual light each morning. Mantras are extremely powerful, so search for ones that you
can feel a vibratory change within yourself, and play them every day. The energy of the mantras stick to our auras
and we take that out with us when we leave home. It also assists with the collective energies in your area as well.
In my own area, I/We have already 'busted through' the areas of resistance and anchored the light there.
There is no 'I' in spiritual work as we all have a spiritual team of unseen lightworkers, protectors, etc., who are always
with us every moment of day and night. We work as a team. Namaste ~
*~* Much love to you all, take care, Tara *~*

Ion Propulsion Test Tube, R. H. Goddard
This glass tube device was used in experiments by U.S. rocket pioneer Robert H. Goddard during 1924-1928 to determine the feasibility of ion propulsion for space flight. Ion propulsion, in which electrically charged particles of atoms called ions are discharged, produces extremely rapid exhaust velocities. Because of this and their long duration of operation, ion engines are ideal for deep space propulsion.
However, they produce very low thrusts and must be placed in space by larger conventional chemical propellant rocket boosters. Experiments with ion propulsion in space occured when the first succesful Space Electric Test (SERT-1) took place in 1964. This object was donated to the Smithsonian in 1965 by Esther C. Goddard.

Science moment – the double slit experiment
The double slit experiment is very simple and easy to understand, but the results are unexpected because they demonstrate the quantum world. This video provides a nice explanation of the experiment and its permutations:

Congratulations. You just gave an easy to understand object lesson in how God is able to discriminate between whom he allows to experience the reality of his presence and those he does not permit this privelidge. It helps with understanding these scriptures:
John 14:15-24 (Today's New International Version)
15 "If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. Anyone who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them."
22 Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?"
23 Jesus replied, "Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
Matthew 5:8 (Today's New International Version)
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
Matthew 13:11-13 (Today's New International Version)
11 He replied, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12 Those who have will be given more, and they will have an abundance. As for those who do not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables:
"Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
2 Corinthians 3 (Today's New International Version)
12 Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. 13 We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away. 14 But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. 15 Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. 16 But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate [a] the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
Of course there are many other scriptures to this effect. The point is that the observer (or the scientist . . . or even you or I) do not decide the particles behavior. But it behaves with regard to our act of observation. In the same way, God behaves in differing ways depending on whom may be observing. That's why some of us regularly see miracles, and some never will. It's not just about the mental health, beliefs or philosophical position of the observer. It's about God's willingness to reveal Himself.
The question of God's willingness to reveal himself is considerably more complex than most people appreciate. He obviously has an enormous interest in revealing himself – hence the incarnation of Christ. Nonetheless he is highly selective about whom he allows to "know" him. The scriptures are loaded with statements about God hiding himelf.
He does however make (seemingly contrasting)claims to being non-discriminatory about who may lay hold of the privelidge of observing him. It seems that most of us willingly disqualify ourselves because we "hate" the terms and conditions he has laid down.
Whinge and moan all we want. It won't help us to observe him, nor will it change the preconditions he has put in place.
Come on his terms and our lives will be dramatically altered forever.

Mattstarrs, thanks for the post. I like a good slice of cheese too. I find it has something to do with this blog post. That's right. Cheese.
I'd like to hear your comments on this.

My pleasure dear Hermes.
Name calling is the last ditch effort of intellectual exasperation once it is realised that either one does not have the cognitive capacity to fully engage their opponent, or else that the arguments presented are indeed insurmountable.
I am not sure which of these is your motivation, but the "cheese" label is a better reflection of the state of your argument than the state of mine.
on 19 Oct 2008 at 10:21 pm 4.Hermes said …
Mattstarrs, you totally missed the mark.
I'll make it clear.
I said cheese. You were right to point out that this had nothing to do with the blog post. That was the point.
Where you made a mistake was to attribute your own words as having some relevance to the blog post. They did like cheese.
As for 'calling you names', I did not. Why you thought I did I don't know, but maybe your psyche thought it was justified.
Shall we continue, shall we stop, or do you want to take the original observation … as an observation? The wheel is in your court.
I'm on the forums BTW … if these blog posts bore you.
on 21 Oct 2008 at 10:12 am 5.mattstarrs said …
No, I think you're ducking for cover. Either that or you are somewhat challenged in your communicative abilities. You see, when you said:
"I like a good slice of cheese too. I find it has something to do with this blog post. That's right. Cheese."
You make a clear connection between the post and "cheese", and you even affirm this with the re-iteration "That's right. Cheese."
My assumpton was that you were calling my post "cheesy". Thank you for clarifying for me that I ought not make such assumptions with your haughty comments.
Thank you for also pointing out that my point was lost on you, as you tried to express with your "cheese" comment.
I guess this is the reason that newspaper journalists write at a level eight year olds can understand.
Clearly you failed to grasp my point as I did yours, for you said:
"Where you made a mistake was to attribute your own words as having some relevance to the blog post. They did like cheese."
So I will try again with really small words of no more than two syllables.
We try to see. It's called science. We want to have answers so we can be in control. But when we look things change. Just like in the clip. It's the same with us and God. We say "I have looked – I saw nothing". But does that mean we have seen it all? Or is God really in control . . . not us?
on 21 Oct 2008 at 11:06 am 6.Hermes said …
Be prepared to be insulted, as I'm not going to spend gobs of time in a blog to go over details. If you want nuanced subtleties, join the forum.
You took my comment on cheese as an insult as opposed to a comparison. That's your reading, not my intent. You original post was off topic, even with your amazing stretch of a justification. Don't do something so silly next time and you won't be called on it.
As for your last part, it's nonsense to me. Looking is the point of the slit experiment. It shows that even basic things we are profoundly ignorant of. That's humility. What you propose is an answer that occurs before you even complete looking. Nothing but religion and unimportant guesstimates work like that. The CERN's LHC is an attempt to address what we are ignorant of; it is a bigger set of eyes not a guess that looks good enough to stop.
No matter how often you take out your 'My God was here' stamp, you haven't shown your deity. If you want the non-Christians (including Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and the rest of the 2/3rds of the humans on this planet) to take Christian claims about your god God seriously, you've got to show that there's something there *FIRST* and not assume that your claims are special. Others don't see your claims as anything more than one among many that they see as equally unsupported (unless they are Hindus about Hindu claims, Buddhists about Buddhist claims, Muslims about Muslim claims… ).

Evidence continues to accumulate that indoor tanning with ultraviolet radiation-emitting lamps poses a skin cancer risk, particularly among teens and young adults. A new study assessed the risk of basal cell skin carcinoma and the use of tanning beds among a younger population. The findings were published online on June 23 in the journal Pediatrics. The study falls on the heels of a March 29 announcement by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that it is beefing up its regulation of sunlamp products such as tanning beds or tanning booths. The increased regulation was based on studies that have found that these devices increase the risk of skin cancer, including deadly melanomas. In addition, sunlamp products can cause permanent or temporary eye damage.
The authors of the new study note that indoor tanning with ultraviolet radiation–emitting lamps is common among adolescents and young adults. They explain that increasing incidences of basal cell carcinoma have been reported for the US, particularly among individuals diagnosed at younger ages. Furthermore, recent epidemiologic studies have suggested that indoor tanning may be contributing to the early development of basal cell carcinoma, and younger individuals may be particularly vulnerable to an increased skin cancer risk from this exposure. Therefore, the study authors attempted to evaluate this situation in a case–controlled study from a New Hampshire population. A case-controlled study compares the occurrence of a disease or condition among those exposed to a certain entity and those not, in this case, indoor tanning.
The study group comprised 657 cases of basal cell carcinoma and 452 controls 50 years of age or younger. Data regarding indoor tanning were obtained from all subjects. The researchers found that early-onset basal cell carcinoma was related to indoor tanning, with 1.6-fold increased risk. The strongest association was found for first exposure as a teen or young adult; a 10% increase in the risk was found with each age younger at first exposure (increased risk per year among individuals 23 years old or younger was 1.1). Associations with basal cell carcinoma were found for each type of device examined: sunlamps, tanning beds, and tanning booths.
The investigators concluded that their findings suggest that early exposure to indoor tanning increases the risk of early development of basal cell carcinoma. Furthermore, the findings stress the importance of counseling adolescents and young adults regarding the risks of indoor tanning and for discouraging parents from giving consent to their minor children for partaking in this practice.
The study authors are affiliated with Children's Environmental Health and Disease Prevention Research Center at Dartmouth (Hanover, New Hampshire), Geisel School of Medicine (Hanover, New Hampshire), University of Toronto (Toronto, Canada), and University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Take home message:
This is yet another study to point out the skin cancer risk from exposure to ultraviolet radiation-emitting lamps. The risk is higher among fair-complected individuals; thus, a Scandinavian has a much higher risk than an African American. However, dark-complected people are also at risk—it just takes more exposure

Spotlight for Career Services ProfessionalsSeptember 18, 2013
NACE recently introduced a series of "train the trainer"
guides for career services practitioners to use to help college
students use different social media effectively in their job
searches. Following is an excerpt of the "Career Counselor's Guide
to Facebook" by Kevin Grubb, an assistant director at the career
center of Villanova University; Shannon Kelly, associate director
of career services at the University of Pennsylvania; and Megan
Wolleben, assistant director at the Bucknell University Career
Development Center. The "Career Counselor's Guides to Social Media
in the Job Search" are available at
The "About" section of a Facebook user's profile is where a
student can enter things like work and educational experience, a
bio, website, links to other social networks, and much more. The
"About" section has similarities to a LinkedIn Profile, but
Facebook's fields allow for information like "favorite quotations,"
and can even include a user's interests in books, movies, music,
and TV shows. There are many options with Facebook profiles and
students can take advantage of all of them. However, for
professional purposes, there are some sections-"Work and
Education," "About You," and "Contact Information"-that matter more
than others.

With Andy Reid off the board, who are the best candidates left to fill vacant head coaching positions? Will Chip Kelly leave Oregon for the NFL? Will Lovie Smith be the next spurned coach to find a new home?This video is no longer available. Click here to watch more NBC Sports videos!
ProFootballTalk: Who are the top coaching candidates left?
Report: Goodell made $32 million in 2015
It hasn't been hard to find negative opinions about NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell during 2015, but he's still making out OK on the financial end of things.
Daniel Kaplan of Sports Business Journal reports that a tax filing by the NFL shows that Goodell made $32 million in 2015. That's a drop from $34.1 million the previous year and the fourth straight year that Goodell's compensation has dropped, although $32 million is still a fair chunk of change to take home.
Unless the league reverses course on it's decision to give up tax-exempt status for the league office, this will be the last year they have to disclose Goodell's pay. They made the change last year, but Kaplan reports a "stub period between the end of the last filing and when they changed status" meant they had to make the filing one more time.
While we won't know exactly how much Goodell will pull in for his services in 2016 and beyond, it's a good bet that his pay will remain high as long as revenues remain high. While plenty of people have negative takes on the job Goodell's done, bank accounts around the league remain the most significant bellwether.
NFL upholds DeMarcus Lawrence's four-game suspension
The Cowboys got a double dose of bad news on Thursday.
In addition to announcing that linebacker Rolando McClain will be suspended for the first 10 games of the season because of another violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy, they also passed along word that defensive end Demarcus Lawrence's four-game suspension under the same policy has been upheld by the league.
Defensive end Randy Gregory rounds out the trio of Cowboys defenders who will open up the season serving suspensions, which should make it difficult for the Cowboys to realize any significant immediate improvement over last year's lackluster performance on that side of the ball. Benson Mayowa, Charles Tapper, Ryan Russell and David Irving are among the options for the team at defensive end while Gregory and Lawrence are out of the picture.
After the Cowboys drafted running back Ezekiel Elliott in the first round, owner Jerry Jones said the team hoped his presence would lead to more possession on offense, fewer plays for the defense and, as a result, a better performance from that unit. It may have to if the Cowboys are going to improve on last year's results.
Rolando McClain suspended for 10 games
The list of Cowboys defensive players serving a suspension to open the season has reportedly gotten longer.
Adam Schefter and Todd Archer of ESPN reported that linebacker Rolando McClain will be suspended for the first 10 games of the season on Thursday afternoon and the Cowboys passed along the same word a short time later. It's a violation of the league's substance abuse policy, which was also the reason why McClain was suspended for the first four games of last season.
McClain re-signed with the Cowboys this offseason after making 80 tackles and an interception in 11 starts for the team after his suspension came to an end last year. McClain missed the voluntary portion of the team's offseason program, which owner Jerry Jones said was so he could spend time with his kids although coach Jason Garrett seemed less sanguine about his absence.
With McClain out of the picture, the Cowboys will have to shuffle the deck at linebacker. Sean Lee will start with Anthony Hitchens and Kyle Wilber's experience starting last year likely putting them ahead of Andrew Gachkar, Damien Wilson and Keith Smith for the other two spots.
Defensive ends Randy Gregory and Demarcus Lawrence will miss the first four games of the year serving suspensions of their own, leaving the Cowboys awfully short on defense come September.
Trevone Boykin avoids jail time with plea deal in assault case
Seahawks rookie quarterback Trevone Boykin will avoid jail time after pleading down from an assault charge, and will get to satisfy his probation while in Seattle.
That's good news for the team, as he's pretty much their No. 2 quarterback at this point.
According to Stephen Cohen of SeattlePI.com, Boykin pleaded no contest to charges of resisting arrest from the New Year's Eve incident. He was initially charged with a misdemeanor count of assault after getting in a bar fight in San Antonio, which cost him a chance to finish his TCU career in the Alamo Bowl.
Boykin was given a year's probation and fined $1,500 and court costs. The Bexar County Court judge will allow him to fulfill his 80 hours of community service and anger management course while he's in Seattle this fall.
At the moment, the undrafted rookie is the backup to Russell Wilson, as Jake Heaps is the only other quarterback on the roster. There was a possibility that they might re-acquire Tarvaris Jackson, though that seems less likely after he threatened to kill his wife last week.
Cardinals had Ameer Abdullah on the phone when Lions picked him
During the second round of the 2015 NFL draft, the Cardinals were sitting at No. 55 and knew exactly who they wanted: Nebraska running back Ameer Abdullah.
There was just one problem: The Lions wanted Abdullah, too. And the Lions picked 54th.
The new Amazon series All or Nothing reveals that. All or Nothing, which debuts Friday on Amazon Prime, documents the Cardinals' 2015 season, including the draft — when the Cardinals were so close to taking Abdullah that they had him on the phone in their draft room, and coach Bruce Arians and General Manager Steve Keim were celebrating that they were about to add the player they wanted.
"We've been talking about this pick since the Combine," Arians said. Keim added, "I liked him a lot."
And then Abdullah gave the Cardinals some bad news: He had another call coming in, and it was from Detroit.
"Detroit's calling him right now," announced one dejected voice within the Cardinals' draft room. "You're kidding me!" said another.
The Lions took Abdullah with the 54th pick, so the Cardinals, no longer having the guy they wanted at 55, traded down. The Cardinals got a running back, David Johnson, in the third round.
As it turned out, Abdullah and Johnson were fairly similar players as rookies: Abdullah ran for 597 yards, added 183 receiving yards and 1,077 kickoff return yards. Johnson had 581 rushing yards, 457 receiving yards and 598 kickoff return yards. Johnson played well enough that losing out on Abdullah didn't hurt in the long run, even if it hurt on draft day.
Connor Shaw says farewell to Browns
It appears the Browns are down to four quarterbacks.
Connor Shaw said goodbye to Cleveland in a Twitter post on Thursday that said he "learned and grew a lot" during his two years with the team. There's been no official word from the Browns at this point, but a move was expected with the Browns also carrying Robert Griffin III, Josh McCown, Austin Davis and rookie Cody Kessler.
Shaw signed with the Browns as an undrafted free agent in 2014 and spent most of the year on the practice squad before getting tabbed to start the regular season finale. He went 14-of-28 for 177 yards and an interception and spent last season on injured reserve after a preseason thumb injury.
The Browns said this offseason that every quarterback on the roster was competing to start, but the signs pointed to Griffin as their on-field work unfolded. Things will pick back up in training camp without Shaw in the mix.
UPDATE 3:14 p.m. ET: The Browns announced that Shaw has been waived.
Manziel suspension could save Browns $2.173 million
When the Browns cut quarterback Johnny Manziel after two years of his four-year contract and no team claimed the contract on waivers, the Browns landed on the hook for the remaining guaranteed money in his contract.
His salary of $1.169 million is fully guaranteed for 2016, along with $1.004 million of his 2017 salary. But the contract, as PFT previously has explained, contemplates the voiding of the guarantees for a variety of reasons.
One of the triggers is an NFL-imposed suspension. Which means that the Browns, if the report of a Manziel suspension is accurate, could avoid the $2.173 million in guaranteed money he's still owed.
The biggest question in this regard relates to the impact of the team waiving him before he was suspended. For example, there's no way that the Browns would be able to recover signing bonus money due to the suspension, given that he's no longer on the team. Ultimately, lawyers could be tussling over whether a team can void guarantees due to a suspension occurring after the player's contract was terminated.
NFL suspends Sheldon Richardson for Week One
Jets defensive end Sheldon Richardson will have to sit out the team's Week One game against the Bengals.
The NFL announced today that Richardson is suspended for one game for violating the league's personal conduct policy. Richardson will have to miss all practices during the first week of the season but is eligible for training camp and the preseason as normal.
Richardson pleaded guilty to resisting arrest in January in connection with an arrest last summer for driving 143 miles an hour while evading police with a 12-year-old in the car. He was not charged with child endangerment, nor was he charged with any drug offenses even though police said they smelled marijuana.
Last month, Richardson said he wasn't sure if he would be suspended and was trying to move on. He'll be able to move on, but only after missing Week One.
What's next for the Chargers?
With the likelihood of the Chargers obtaining taxpayer funding for a new stadium in San Diego taking a major hit via a recent ruling of the California Supreme Court, the team's geographic future has become even more uncertain.
With a 66.6 percent supermajority now needed to justify public money, a new stadium in San Diego becomes a virtual impossibility. So what are the other options?
First, the Chargers could exercise their right to join the Rams in Los Angeles. The Chargers, however, have questions about the economics of being the second team in the facility. Efforts currently are being made to determine the dollars and cents of sharing space with the Rams. The Chargers have until January 2017 to make a decision.
Second, they could stay at Qualcomm Stadium, where the lease runs through 2020. At that point, San Diego may ask the team to make needed repairs as part of a new lease, which could trigger an impasse.
Third, the Chargers could consider moving to Las Vegas, which has been linked to the Raiders. This would result in two franchises that not long ago were partners in an effort to move to L.A. becoming adversaries in a chase for Sin City.
Fourth, a move to the San Gabriel Valley isn't out of the question, to Ed Roski's long-forgotten-but-still-shovel-ready City of Industry site.
Fifth, San Antonio or Austin is an option, but the existing Texas teams would oppose a third team on their turf.
Sixth, the Chargers could move to London or Toronto or some other international market. However, that option is regarded as the least likely of the six.
However it plays out, the Chargers most likely won't be playing in a new stadium in San Diego.
Report: NFL to suspend Johnny Manziel four games for substance abuse
NFL suspensions routinely come down on Fridays, which I'm sure is coincidental. The Friday before a holiday weekend would be a perfect time to drop one, especially if it was a big one.
And one might be on the way, a little earlier than expected.
According to TMZ, former Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel will be suspended the first four games of the coming season for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
The report specifies that the suspension is for substance abuse, though the league was also looking into Manziel under the personal conduct policy after his incident with his ex-girlfriend.
At the moment, it's kind of a moot point, since Manziel is not on a roster and hasn't shown any indication of being ready to join one.
He did vow to get "completely sober" tomorrow, though at this stage taking him at his word for anything seems ill-advised. But if he's suspended by the league, he'd be subject to further testing and mandatory compliance with a treatment plan.
So perhaps with the NFL saying it wanted to help Manziel, getting him into the program might be the best way to guarantee he gets the help he needs, if he's serious about making a comeback.
Osweiler has his wife play offensive coordinator as he learns Texans' playbook
NFL players are off until training camp, but Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler is working. And putting his wife to work as well.
Osweiler is trying to learn the playbook so that he'll have it down pat by the time his first training camp in Houston begins, and so he has his wife quizzing him by reading plays and then making him describe exactly what his responsibilities are.
"My wife will act as the offensive coordinator at times during the evening," Osweiler told ESPN. "I'll have her read the full play to me. I'll sit there and try to picture it, spit it back out to her, make sure I'm verbalizing it the right way so that when I step into the huddle the next day in practice, things are coming out clear."
In his new environment, Osweiler feels like the new kid in school.
"That's the playbook, that's getting to know your teammates. Understanding the ins and the outs and the operation and style of this building and how our strength staff operates," he said. "It's like the first day of school and going to a new school. Who's going to be my new best friend? What's our teacher like? I can't wait to see the playground, maybe our weight room and cafeteria."
When training camps open next month, the Texans need the new kid in school to quickly become the leader of the franchise.
David Johnson embraces high expectations
Cardinals running back David Johnson showed flashes of his potential as a rookie. In 2016, his team expects a lot more. And Johnson is fine with that.
Appearing on Thursday's PFT Live on NBC Sports Radio, Johnson made it clear that he embraces the high expectations that people like coach Bruce Arians have established for him.
"I can't say after one year's work that he is one of the best, but he's got a chance to be one of the all-time best," Arians has said.
Those high expectations were fueled in large part by Johnson's 187-yard, three-touchdown performance in prime time against the Eagles. Entering the 2016 season as the starter, the Cardinals will be hoping for more games like that.
Regardless of how his second season goes, Johnson already achieved more than many scouts thought he would. Johnson said that, at the Senior Bowl and the Scouting Combine, plenty of personnel people didn't know who the Northern Iowa product was, with some thinking based on his size that he was a linebacker.
Plenty of linebackers likely will be wishing Johnson played linebacker, and the Cardinals are undoubtedly grateful that no one else figured out who he is and what he can do before they made him a third-round pick last year.
Drew Brees not concerned about Saints' inexperienced receivers
The Saints' wide receiver depth chart is so full of young players that the experienced veteran of the group, Brandin Cooks, is 22 years old. But Saints quarterback Drew Brees is not concerned about that.
Brees told the New Orleans Advocate that young receivers Willie Snead, Brandon Coleman and Michael Thomas are, along with Cooks, perfectly capable of picking up the Saints' offense and playing the way the Saints need them to play.
"I am not worried about the inexperience, if you are just talking about years and games played," Brees said. "I feel like the time on task between all of us is pretty significant when you are talking about the practice reps and the time that we spend away from this facility together. I think they're quick studies; they're all hard-working guys that are very smart, intelligent and hungry."
The Saints' passing game was good last season with Cooks and Snead as the top two wide receivers, and the addition of Thomas in the second round of the draft should help. There are questions about whether the Saints' defense will be good enough, but Brees thinks the offense will be as good as ever.
Vikings promote scout Scott Kuhn to director of analytics
When the Vikings were at the Scouting Combine earlier this year, General Manager Rick Spielman said that the team was using analytics to derive data beyond 40 times and bench press totals.
Spielman called it "another tool" the team could use to evaluate players and it is something that the team appears set to do more of in the future. The Vikings announced Thursday that they have promoted pro scout Scott Kuhn to the role of director of analytics.
"Scott's aptitude to analyze the tremendous amount of data that is available to us today will be a huge benefit for all of our football operations," Spielman said in a statement. "Scott's work ethic and knowledge that he has demonstrated made this an easy decision to promote him to this new position."
The Vikings also named Anne Doepner their director of football administration in the shuffling of roles in their front office ahead of the 2016 season.
Jim Kelly's advice to Lionel Messi: "Go out and enjoy yourself"
Former Bills quarterback Jim Kelly was one of the most prolific scorers in his sport, even though he never won a title.
So perhaps as well as anyone, he understands how soccer star Lionel Messi feels, and wants him to know things could be much worse.
Messi couldn't lead Argentina to a Copa America title last week, with his missed penalty kick serving as his personal Scott Norwood moment. It was his fourth loss in a championship game for his country, along with Copa America finals in 2007 and 2015 and the 2014 World Cup.
Kelly lost four Super Bowls with the Bills, so the agony of coming so close is something he knows.
"The bottom line is, you go out there, you play your heart out," Kelly said he'd tell Messi, according to Mike Rodak of ESPN.com. "You know you're one person on the team of a lot. Yeah, when you're the star, there's the old cliche, 'You get too much of the praise when you win, too much of the blame when you lose.' The thing is, for me, I knew that I had teammates. We all played together. We won as a team; we lost as a team.
"For me, I don't cry about it. Yeah, of course, I would love to have won one, two [Super Bowls]. I would have loved to win them all. It just wasn't in the good Lord's plans. I tried, I busted my butt. It just didn't happen. Go out and enjoy yourself."
Messi hinted at retiring from international competition after Sunday's loss, something Kelly didn't do while he was playing.
And perhaps his own battle with cancer has given Kelly a different perspective, but he's also far enough removed from his Hall of Fame career to understand that no matter how brilliant the player, one can't win a championship alone.

The Hammer Horror films are indisputable genre classics, probably ranking among the best horror films of all time. There's just something unique about those wonderful old creature features which attracts audiences and filmmakers even to this day, which explains why most of the old franchises have been resurrected from the grave at least as often as the various beasties that populate them. Remakes, however, have not always been kind to the old Hammer films - for every inspired retelling there are a dozen crude cash ins or worse still movies like Joe Johnston's The Wolfman - heartbreaking near misses that are all the more painful for all they do right.
The cast of Johnston's film is probably its strongest point, although not without its flaws. Anthony Hopkins and Hugo Weaving are both excellent as always, but there's nothing in either of their roles that they haven't done before and better. Hopkins as the creepy old guy with a secret and Weaving as the intimidating authority figure, huh? Nope, haven't seen either of those characters before. Benicio del Toro an Emily Blunt both put in creditable performances as the leads, but their roles are so underwritten that they're given very little to work with.
Speaking of writing, the script is far and away the weakest part of The Wolfman. Although much of the dialogue is somewhat cliched, this is forgivable for its at least in keeping with the spirit of the Hammer Horror films. Additionally, the pacing is all over the place - the film builds up momentum only to brutally slam on the brakes and then start the whole process over again. But neither the dialogue nor the pacing are the worst parts of this sorry script, which was rewritten several times over during a long and troubled production history. Instead, the script's true cardinal sin lies in its artificially puffed up nature - while the 1941 original starring Lon Chaney Junior ran at a sleek seventy minutes, the 2010 version of The Wolfman plumps it self up to a more commercially viable hour and forty minutes by adding in several subplots that range from unnecessary to infuriating. Withholding spoilers, I'll merely say that one of these additions is especially egregious, derailing any true commonality with the original and making Johnston's film a remake in only the most superficial of ways.
It's a cynical but true statement that horror movies often live and die by their visuals, more so than most other genre films. In this respect at least, The Wolfman does not disappoint. The transformation sequences are almost painful to watch as joints pop out of alignment and bones break and then reknit themselves in mere moments, and the titular lycanthrope is a truly savage looking beast. Also of note is the gloomy and gothic atmosphere created by skillful camera work and excellent set design - this aspect of the film more than any other seems truly loyal to its predecessor.
The Wolfman is definitely among the best modern remakes of the Hammer films, but that's really just damning with faint praise. While Joe Johnston's film is certainly no dog, neither will it make audiences howl with delight.

In the current competitive world, it is important for all business levels to stay fast and updated. With this intention, they are rapidly adopting business software to manage data, inventory or handling tax and accounting related processes. Accounting is a very important portion which tracks records about company's financial transactions. A proper arrangement of financial records is must for any organization. Accounting software like QuickBooks provides easy way to make the process simple and fast.
QuickBooks is one of the leading accounting application. It has many editions to suit for different kinds of business needs. But QuickBooks enterprise edition offers many beneficial features like: -
• Multi-user access from 5 to 20 simultaneous users,
• Has the ability to set up and process financial document interchange,
• Has options for international funds,
• Various editions provide choice to the users.
QuickBooks is a very convenient accounting program if it's technical aspects are dealt efficiently.. These aspects include difficulty to access data outside the of the office premise, difficulty in collaboration and sharing of data. Data security is another challenge faced by organizations. Financial transactions and data both are confidential and important for any organization. If users have a huge amount of data, that requires large backup storage to take the regular backups. .
In general and ordinary practice, QuickBooks users setup their own IT infrastructure for it's usage. For that, we need a huge amount of time and effort. Budget is also a big concern for smaller organizations. Hosted QuickBooks services provide solution to these critical problems.
With hosted QuickBooks, user doesn't need to setup their own local IT infrastructure. This saves our huge amount of money, time and effort. It minimizes the requirement of IT personnel inside the company.

Here is some productive advice - take the time to go out

This is and will never be the case for serious companies.

This field is an art, its not really meant for everyone

Single Stop USA Receives Grant to Expand Use of High Technology for Low-Income Americans
All too often, the news about low-income people and technology is bad. Low-income communities trail the rest of the country in their ability to access the internet. As a result, low-income Americans have less access to information, job opportunities, and public services than other citizens. Moreover, the bureaucracies that have an impact on low-income Americans' lives—namely, the city, state, and federal agencies that distribute public benefits—usually lack the most current technological innovations, and efforts to modernize program administration are frequently delayed. In New York, for example, the New York City Housing Authority's recent attempt to modernize by installing a new $36 million computer system has been plagued by delay and lost information. Additionally, some attempts to modernize public benefits administration have unintended adverse consequences for certain populations. As Cary LaCheen wrote in a recent Clearinghouse Review article, many public benefits agencies are using call centers to interact with clients in an effort to reduce face-to-face time and streamline operations. Unfortunately, this efficiency comes at a cost for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals, who face multiple barriers when they try to communicate remotely with benefits agencies.
Against this dispiriting backdrop, Single Stop USA's successful use of technology to benefit low-income Americans is especially welcome. Single Stop USA, which recently received a $1.1 million grant from the White House Social Innovation Fund, began in New York City as a project of the Robin Hood Foundation. Single Stop USA uses its revolutionary benefits enrollment network, or "BEN," to help low-income people understand the public benefits maze and make sure that they are receiving all of the assistance for which they are eligible.
BEN is proprietary software that Single Stop USA counselors access over the internet on their office computers. After Single Stop USA counselors are trained to use the BEN technology, they are placed in local organizations such as hospitals, churches, public defenders' offices, and community colleges. When clients go to these organizations to meet with their attorneys, go to class, or get check-ups, they can also meet with Single Stop USA counselors. The counselors interview the clients, enter some basic information into BEN, and then provide the clients with information about city, state, and federal benefits that they are entitled to receive. Finally, the counselors either guide clients through the benefits application process or provide the clients with referrals to service providers who will help them, free of charge. BEN is constantly being revised and updated; just in time for tax season, BEN now has a "tax tab" that can provide clients with free tax preparation. This is particularly essential for low-income clients, many of whom think that they do not need to file income taxes when, in fact, there are often credits that they are eligible for, such as child care credits and the Earned Income Tax Credit.
Until recently, Single Stop USA's work has focused on New York and California, but the White House Social Innovation Fund Grant will help it to expand nationwide. The BEN concept is well-suited for nationwide expansion, because the software can be custom-designed for every organization that Single Stop USA partners with and work with the particular array of state and local services available to clients in a given location. The White House grant is designed to help Single Stop USA with its efforts in community colleges, on which Single Stop USA plans to focus as it continues to grow. Community colleges are an ideal location for the Single Stop USA model, because the benefits that students receive from a Single Stop USA consultation can help them on multiple fronts. Obviously, students who meet with Single Stop USA counselors get immediate assistance with their taxes and benefits. Improved benefits and tax returns also help the students achieve their long-term goal: higher-paying jobs.
Single Stop USA is not the only organization using technology to benefit low-income Americans. Indeed, Pine Tree Legal Assistance in Portland, Maine, recently launched Stateside Legal. Stateside Legal acts much like Single Stop USA's benefits calculator, but for U.S. military veterans. Any veteran can go to Stateside Legal, enter some basic personal information, and receive legal information about state and federal programs he or she might be eligible for, as well as general information regarding foreclosure, consumer debt problems, and health diagnoses common to veterans. Veterans can also use the site to find an attorney, if necessary. Stateside Legal has already received about 79,000 page views since its launch in November 2010. Stateside Legal received a $300,000 grant from the Legal Services Corporation's Technology Initiative Grants Program, which "promotes full access and high-quality legal representation through the use of technology." In fact, the Technology Initiative Grants Program funds many noteworthy uses of technology on behalf of America's poor, including I-Can! E-File, a free electronic tax-filing system that helps low-income Americans file for the Earned Income Tax Credit. The I-Can! program has 560 partners in 49 states.
As more and more organizations follow the example set by Single Stop USA, and the Technology Initiative Grants Program's grantees, hopefully we will begin reading more headlines about advocates successfully using technology to close the income gap and fewer headlines about the dearth of innovative technologies available to low-income Americans.
Editor's Note: The Editorial Team of Clearinghouse Review: Journal of Poverty Law and Policy would like to know more about how legal aid and other public interest law advocates use technology to stay informed. Please respond to our brief online survey by May 6, 2011.
