Maine woman sentenced to 80 years in prison for North Texas investment scam
A Maine woman who participated in a North Texas-based foreign notes scam, has been sentenced to 80 years in state prison after being convicted of theft of property, according to the Texas State Securities Board.
The agency said Karen P. Bowie was part of a $5 million fraud perpetrated by Titan Wealth Management LLC of Plano, which sold fictitious high-yielding "European Mid-Term Notes" supposedly issued by European banks.
"Evidence in the case showed that Bowie personally benefited from $2 million of investor funds and used some of the money to buy a coastal home in Maine," the state securities board said.
Titan Wealth was owned by Thomas Lester Irby II, a Frisco money manager who regulators said promised investors that notes issued by European banks would pay short-term returns of between 10 percent and 50 percent.
"Most of the money Irby raised from investors paid for his personal expenses and was diverted to pay earlier investors in what turned out to be a Ponzi scheme," state regulators said.
Bowie was one of Irby's partners in the Titan Wealth fraud.
In his testimony, Irby claimed responsibility for swindling his clients but said other people masterminded the scheme and misled him.
He referred to Bowie and John J. Kim of Sparks, Md., with whom he partnered and who also face criminal charges.
Irby was sentenced to 24 years in state prison in 2010 after his conviction on a charge of money laundering. The sentence included 10 years deferred adjudication on charges of theft and securities fraud.
In a separate civil action, the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2009 sued Titan Wealth, Irby, Bowie, and other people involved in the company. The SEC action, alleging that Titan Wealth operated as a Ponzi scheme, shut down the company and placed it in receivership.
The Collin County District Attorney's Office prosecuted Bowie, and Dale Barron, a Texas State Securities Board enforcement attorney, served as a special prosecutor. Judge Benjamin N. Smith of the 380th State District Court in Collin County sentenced Bowie after a week-long trial.

Women's Health
How Housework Can Hurt a Relationship
June 13, 2012 -- If a couple doesn't split household chores fairly, it can add strain -- especially for women, a Swedish study shows.
But the problem goes beyond the list of chores. It's not so much about who does what, as it is about equality within the relationship.
The researchers, based at Sweden's Umea University, studied questionnaires filled out by 723 residents of a mid-sized Swedish industrial town from 1981 to 2007. The questionnaires covered school, work, socioeconomic conditions, and health at ages 21 and 42.
At age 21, both men and women reported roughly the same level of psychological distress (which included restlessness, concentration problems, and anxiety). By age 42, however, women's levels of distress had gone up while the men's had stayed the same.
Feeling Undervalued Leads to Feeling Distressed
For women, a key contributor to that rise in distress was the uneven distribution of domestic work. But there was more to it than that. It all came down to whether the women felt they and their partners were equals.
If women felt a sense of gender inequality in the relationship, they were highly likely to be distressed. But if they reported that they were on an equal footing with their spouse or partner, the risk of distress disappeared, even if they did more than their fair share of the housework.
"The results of this study indicate that it is not only a matter of whether the responsibility for domestic work is equal or not, but also the relational context in which the responsibilities are divided within the couple relationship," the authors write.
Psychologist Jill Weber, PhD, was not involved in the study -- and she's not surprised by the findings.
"It is not the work per se," says Weber, who has a private practice in the Washington, D.C., suburbs. "It's the feeling that the woman is not getting support from her partner. Inequality often translates as a lack of emotional support."
Men in the study were less likely than women to report that gender equality was an issue in their relationships. For them, the notable cause of distress was being in a lower socioeconomic position than their partners. To Weber, this too makes sense.

Product Reviews
Rated 1 out of 5 by roto00 from Don't buy this product, horrible product design! I still have not installed the system yet, because the body spray design is weak and always breaks! I ordered 4 body sprays, 3 of them were ok, 1 was broken. I called customer service and they quickly replaced it. The bad news it the one they sent me was broken too! So I called again and they send me another, guess what, that came broken too. All together, I have received 3 broken units one after another. The main reason is because this is a poor design by Brizo and the the little tabs inside the Escutcheon are plastic and so weak that they seem to break during shipping. This is the third time they have tried to send me one and its still broken - really frustrating! Also, the decorative cover which looks like metal, is actually plastic. I would have thought for the price of the Brizo line it would have been metal and the whole spray made of better quality. Time to redesign and fix the product!

TAHOE CITY, Calif. - Mike Schwartz, a 30-year fire service veteran, has been named North Tahoe Fire Protection District's new fire chief, effective Nov. 1.
The district's board of directors approved Schwartz, 53, for the position at its Aug. 15 meeting after a several-month selection process that included a community panel, along with the board interviewing five final candidates, said board president Don Hale.
"I'm very excited to be here, and I'm honored to be serving this community," Schwartz said in an interview this week. "... This is a great responsibility, but I'm really proud to do it, and I've come to it really prepared."
Schwartz comes from the North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District in Incline Village where he served as firefighter/paramedic, a fire captain and most recently as a battalion chief. He holds a paramedic degree from Stanford University, an associate's degree in fire science from Truckee Meadows Community College and a bachelor's degree in public administration with an emphasis on fire service administration from the University of Maryland.
"We picked the one that we thought would best serve the interests of the district and board," Hale said. "He (Schwartz) being the most capable based on background, communication skills and knowledge of the district."
Schwartz replaces Peter Poe, who will retire at the end of this month. Poe has served as fire chief for the past eight months following the retirement of longstanding Chief Duane Whitelaw.
In the position of fire chief, Schwartz will earn $126,732 annually, said Nita Wracker, administration manager for NTFPD.
The North Tahoe Fire Protection District serves an area of 31 square miles on the north and west shores of Lake Tahoe through six fire stations, located in Alpine Meadows, Tahoe City, Homewood, Dollar Hill, Carnelian Bay and Kings Beach, and employs 57 paid employees, 20 of whom are part-timers.
"I've been their neighbor for 30 years, so I've fought fires with almost everyone here," Schwartz said. "I've done medical calls and saved lives with these people, and together we've mourned our losses collectively, so I'm close enough to believe I really understand the culture of both the fire service and the lake community, but also just far enough to bring new ideas."
As for his ideas for the future of the district, Schwartz said his first item of business is to uphold current service levels.
"Having had a lot of experience in the fire service and organizational management, my first goal to both the internal organization and externally to the community is to ensure them a continuity of services," Schwartz said. "I mean both administratively and emergency responses.
"Over the next several months, I will be spending my time evaluating best practices to see what things I do agree with, and I think slowly, over time, I will infuse my own values, ideas and practices into the organization."
An organization, he insists, that already is doing a fine job.
"This organization has all the pillars for success," Schwartz said. "They have a great community, great people, a good process and is a customer service operation that takes pride in delivery. That's truly its strengths, and any changes I might have down the road will just be to complement what they already have."
Schwartz and his wife of 25 years, Jean, have four children ranging in age from 19 to 32, and two grandchildren.
In his time off, he said he enjoys skiing, snowboarding, wakeboarding and going camping and hiking in state parks with his wife.
"At this juncture we're looking forward to a long and lasting relationship with him and the district, and we're confident that he will do a good job," Hale said.

Lifesize weight-control system takes measure of portion control
But now there's a countertop gadget that looks a little like a kid's cooking set — perhaps not for nothing — that is meant to help with portion control.
It's called Lifesize and was created by Myles Berkowitz, who'd had it with being overweight, and trainer Stephen Kates, who says, "You have to eat less food - that's the whole secret."
"Don't change what you eat; change how much you eat" sums up the idea behind Lifesize, a set of plastic measuring vessels marked for meats, toppings, saucy dishes and other categories of food. Six portions a day, same for men and women, plus a snack are allowed. Fruit and vegetables are generally unlimited.
Lifesize launched last year and is available for $79.99 online at www.lifesizeportions.com. It includes the containers, a chart, videos and other information.
Berkowitz, a filmmaker, had had it with his weight and his poor health when he went to see Kates, who has a studio in Santa Monica, Calif. Kates told him he didn't need to limit his consumption of his favorite food, ribs, to twice a year. He could have ribs whenever he wanted; he just needed to limit the amount.
Kates' theory was based on decades of observing people who seemed to eat whatever they wanted without developing weight problems.
Berkowitz says he was more than skeptical and thought portion control was too complicated. But he gave it a try, making clay containers to figure out the right amounts of various kinds of food. The system worked. He got to eat plenty of the food that he wanted and found that he was satisfied, and he lost 46 pounds that he's kept off for five years.

Is the End of the PC Market Closer Than We Think?
By Saabira Chaudhuri
Worldwide PC shipments dropped 4.9% in the fourth quarter pointing to a structural shift rather than just a weak economy, according to new data from technology research firm Gartner
"Tablets have dramatically changed the device landscape for PCs, not so much by 'cannibalizing' PC sales, but by causing PC users to shift consumption to tablets rather than replacing older PCs," said Mikako Kitagawa, principal analyst at Gartner. "Whereas as once we imagined a world in which individual users would have both a PC and a tablet as personal devices, we increasingly suspect that most individuals will shift consumption activity to a personal tablet, and perform creative and administrative tasks on a shared PC."
Gartner said that during the recent holiday season, consumers no longer viewed PCs as the number one gift item and the launch of Microsoft Windows 8 didn't have a significant impact on PC shipments in the fourth quarter.
Hewlett-Packard regained the top position in worldwide PC shipments in the fourth quarter with more than 16% of the world's market share, however, Gartner noted that the company's shipments didn't grow compared with a year ago. It was followed by Lenovo Group and Dell with market shares of 15.5% and 10.2%, respectively. Lenovo also experienced the best growth rate among the top five PC vendors worldwide, at 8.2%.
Worldwide PC shipments totaled 90.3 million units in the fourth quarter. Mobile PC shipments decreased 11% while desktop PC shipments declined 6%.
In the U.S., PC shipments totaled 17.5 million units in the quarter, a 2.1% decline from the year-ago period.
Meanwhile, PC shipments in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, totaled 28.1 million units, a 9.6% decrease from the fourth quarter of 2011. Gartner noted that Western Europe remained the weak point across EMEA, as Central and Eastern Europe and the Middle East and Africa saw growth quarter-on-quarter.
PC shipments in the Asia-Pacific region totaled 29.9 million units, a 1.8% decline from the year ago.
Gartner's data follows a Thursday announcement by International Data Corp. which pegged worldwide PC shipments at 6.4% lower than the year ago, at 89.8 million units.
IDC noted that the fourth quarter of 2012 marked the first time in more than five years that the PC market had seen a year-on-year decline during the holiday season. It too highlighted competing devices such as tablets as a reason for the decline, and also noted the absence of any significant impact from Windows 8.
As compared with Gartner's U.S. forecast, IDC had said it saw U.S. PC sales down 4.5% in the quarter. Like Gartner, it identified H-P, Lenovo and Dell as having the three top spots in worldwide PC shipments.

"It was so easy to add photos. I was nervous about scanning my parents wedding photo and adding it but it was so easy. The invitation turned out even better than I thought."
"Now that I have found wedding paper divas I will never use anyone else!! The customer service was fantastic, the product absolutely brilliant, the time it took to get my personalized order amazing!! Couldn't be happier with the wonderful invitations I received. Wedding paper divas I love you!!"
"The cards were very nice and we liked the chance to put our wedding picture and an up to date picture on the invitations. Being black and white gave it a neat and formal look. They were more of a card not a flimsy photo paper."
"they turned out so great! Great color, cool design and it was quick and easy! I just wish I had another party to do cuz I can't wait to use wedding divas again! Thank you thank you thank you!"
"The colors were limited to white print on black background. While it would have been nice to have the choice on colors, this card turned out beautiful. It was very elegant. It was a fun way to show the parents "then and now". It also was only available on heavy card stock with a matte finish. It would have been nice to have a choice for it to be printed with a glossy finish. Overall the invitation turned out wonderful and I would definitely use Wedding Paper Divas because of their excellent service."

Selected Medicines in Development for Diabetes and Diabetes-Related Conditions
Selected Medicines in Development for Diabetes and Diabetes-Related Conditions
Lowering Blood Glucose Levels – Patients with type 2 diabetes absorb greater amounts of glucose in their kidneys than people who do not have diabetes, which can contribute to elevated glucose levels in the blood. An investigational medicine in development blocks the reabsorption of glucose by the kidneys, increasing glucose excretion and lowering blood glucose levels. In clinical trials, the medicine has shown to significantly reduce blood glucose levels when used as an add-on therapy to insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes who are at greater risk for cardiovascular disease.
Stimulating Insulin Secretion – A potential first-in-class medicine in development is a selective agonist of GPR40, a receptor expressed in the pancreatic islet cells (a cluster of cells that produce hormones). Insulin, which breaks down glucose in the body to create energy, is secreted when glucose levels rise. This potential new medicine increases insulin secretion without causing insulin to significantly lower blood sugar.
Next-Generation Oral Treatment –A next-generation medicine in development for the treatment of type 2 diabetes is part of the DPP-4 inhibitor class of medicines, but chemically different than other approved medicines in this class. DPP-4 inhibitors work by stimulating the production of insulin and producing less glucose. In clinical trials the medicine was able to inhibit more than 80 percent of its target enzyme for seven days, making it potentially a once-weekly treatment versus daily.
Lowering Cardiovascular Risk – A medicine in development for the treatment of type 2 diabetes is comprised of two proteins that regulate the expression of genes that are responsible for lipid homeostasis (the process of maintaining internal balance of lipids within cells) and insulin resistance (when the body produces insulin but does not use it properly). Due to its dual action, it is expected to be effective as a single drug for addressing both high blood sugar and cholesterol problems, while also lowering the cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes.
Once-Weekly Treatment – A medicine in development is in the same class of drugs as some other approved medicines, but with a longer therapeutic life that may make it suitable for once-weekly dosing. The medicine is a human glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) analogue that lowers blood glucose and reduces body weight.
Facilitating Glucose Regulation – A potential medicine in development is a gut sensory modulator (GSM) delivered directly to the stomach where is intensifies the body's natural food-driven signals that facilitate glucose regulation. The medicine, a delayed-release formulation of metformin (a medicine used to treat diabetes alone or in combination with other medicines), targets the lower gut to avoid systemic absorption in the bloodstream, making it useful to diabetes patients with renal impairment who are unable to use metformin due to the risk of building metformin up in the blood (lactic acidosis).
Painful Nerve Damage – Nerve damage is a common symptom of diabetes, about half of all people with diabetes have some form of nerve damage, or neuropathy, according to the American Diabetes Association. Over time, blood glucose can injure the walls of tiny blood vessels that nourish nerves causing pain, especially in the legs. A medicine in development is designed to improve the symptoms of diabetic neuropathy by inhibiting the activity of an enzyme that causes the accumulation of intracellular sorbitol (a sugar alcohol) that causes diabetic neuropathy.
Diabetic Kidney Disease – A potential first-in-class medicine is in development for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy – a chronic progressive kidney disease that is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or kidney failure. From 1990 to 2006, ESRD due to diabetic nephropathy increased 2.5 times. The medicine has demonstrated the potential to protect kidney function and slow disease progression when added to existing therapy.

Quote: What about the massive overpopulation of this country? Infrastructure is taxed to its breaking point, we can't create enough energy to support half our population sustainably, and water. We're fucking out of water. How far do you go to help somebody before you slit your own wrist?
And that's not just for illegal immigrants, its for all immigrants. We just can't let anyone else on this sinking ship until we get this shit figured out.

Overpopulated? Can't create energy? CAN'T? No... won't. More to the point, we have a ruling class that's not very interested in doing so. Wind, Solar, Hydro, and Nuclear don't have geopolitical centers. If the world leaves petroleum behind, our military power won't translate into economic power as smoothly anymore. (That's part of the picture anyway. Main point is that there's no engineering/logistical barrier to energy independence for this country)
As for overpopulation... the U.S. is the 127th most densely populated country in the world. Can't fuck with you on water, cause I don't know much about it, but I'll give my stock analysis: Like the world, this country is not overpopulated, it's undershared.
Quote: The research demonstrates that any increase in the U.S. population above 174 (or even 275) million at the world's average FP, requires non-domestic capacities or substantial and continuous reductions in standard of living. In other words, any increase in the current U.S. population even assuming half the current standard of living, is further destabilizing and negatively impacts the global environment. Clearly, those compassionate worldly individuals advocating that the U.S. be a relief valve for the population dilemmas in other nations seriously need to reconsider this heartfelt position. Moreover, steadily impoverishing Americans, particularly the American poor and disadvantaged by immigration-driven population growth, will likely turn Americans inward and compel the otherwise generous American to reduce economic and other foreign aid.
Developing a prudent U.S. population policy that endeavors to achieve a sustainable U.S. population level as soon as practicable would appear in the world's best interest.

As for your overpopulation statement, couldn't be further from the truth. It's estimated the world can sustainably support 1 billion humans. We're over six. The US already imports more food than it produces. Borrowed time. The US has a balanced population point of 142,282,941. We are WAY over that. If you look at all the ails that humans cause to the environment almost all of them stem from overpopulation. Population density does not correlate with how many humans an area can support. The Antarctic has an incredibly low population density, why don't we move there?
EDIT: Here's an interesting study done in the 90's on sustainable populations.

Bucs eager to put distractions behind them
Published: Monday, October 7, 2013 at 9:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 7, 2013 at 9:00 p.m.
TAMPA - After a tough and wacky opening month of the NFL season, Tampa Bay has used the bye week to self-evaluate, self-scout and refocus for the remaining 12 games of the season.
"A lot of things were going on around here," defensive end Da'Quan Bowers said. "A lot of stuff was starting to be a distraction to the team. But I think it's handled. Coach (Greg Schiano) spoke to us this morning. He got some things off his chest; we got some things off our chests. We're both looking forward to sticking this thing out together and getting on a roll."
The Bucs will be doing it without quarterback Josh Freeman, who was released Thursday. Freeman announced Sunday night that he was signing a one-year, $3 million deal with the Minnesota Vikings.
Freeman was at the center of most of the distractions with the team following his benching. With that saga behind the Bucs, the team can focus on moving forward with rookie quarterback Mike Glennon.
"We've got to be adults about it, professional about it and keep it going," guard Carl Nicks said. "It's a tough business, and everyone understands that.
"I wish the guy all the luck," he said. "I know he's talented. I'm happy he's in a better situation for himself and we can move on here."
Moving on means improving an offense that is ranked next to last (31st) in the league in total yards and points per game, and last in passing yards per game.
Although the defense has played better than last season, the unit still failed to protect three fourth-quarter leads this season.
"There has been a lot of good things we have done," linebacker Dekoda Watson said. "We've got to continue to build. I don't want to say we start fresh or start new because if we do that I feel we'll be backtracking. We have to go in there, tweak some things and get things better."
Schiano agreed.
"I think some things have come to light or have come to a head and some things we need to adjust," Schiano said. "It's been a good period.
"I look at (the season) as a 16-round fight," he said. "We may be down on the card a little bit now, but there's still a lot of fight left."
Schiano said safety Mark Barron (hamstring) practiced Monday and looked good. He also said tight end Tom Crabtree (ankle), cornerback Michael Adams (knee) and defensive tackle Derek Landri (knee) practiced. He didn't think Adams would be ready for Sunday but hoped Landri and Crabtree are
Bucs signed quarterback Jordan Rodgers to the practice squad. Rodgers is the brother of Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

PARKERSBURG - A Parkersburg-based chain of convenience stores is being sold to Go Mart, the owner said.
The deal will be finalized Dec. 18 with the Kompak location on Staunton Avenue becoming a Go Mart location while the other two locations at St. Marys Avenue and Camden Avenue will close on that date, said owner Gary Traugh, who purchased Kompak in 1985.
Terms were not disclosed.

Gary Traugh, owner of the local Kompak stores, stands outside his Staunton Avenue location. Go Mart is purchasing three of the local Kompak locations.
"It's going to be kind of hard," Traugh said. "I've done this for more than 35 years."
Traugh still remembers his first day's sales were $270.
''I remember the days I was working to build this business up,'' he said. ''We went through so many things over the years.''
In its prime during the 1990s with four locations, Kompak had done a $25,000-a-day deposit.
"It was incredible to grow that much in just 10 years," Traugh said.
The thing that established Kompak locally was when it became the first to bring in Amish cheeses and deli meats to the area around the mid-1980s. The business regularly advertised those items and saw considerable business at the time.
By the late 1980s, the stores found a niche with tobacco sales which they advertised a lot in the local newspaper.
"We were told at the trade shows that we were one of the biggest independent tobacco retailers," Traugh said.
Kompak was one of the first to bring Rave cigarettes to the East Coast and was a big seller for Montclair Cigarettes and Mail Pouch Tobacco. Through the years, government regulations curtailed what the business could do with tobacco sales.
Traugh credits many of his employees through the years as being an important part of his success. In addition, the Parkersburg area is good to independent business owners.
"I think Parkersburg is the best town in the country and this is the best area in the country," he said. "Knowing the business I have done here through the years, there is no other area where a small independent guy could have built such a business."
Parkersburg is one of the few areas where small businesses can still thrive, Traugh said.
"Parkersburg just has a good culture," he said. "Everyone here sticks together and tries to help each other out."
Go Mart is one of the largest independent chains, still owned by a West Virginia family, and Traugh said it was an honor for him that they wanted to purchase his business, despite the fact he has never sold gasoline at any of his locations.
"I have beat the odds," Traugh said of conventional wisdom that said he would need gasoline sales in order to make it.
Talks began around two years ago to purchase the businesses.
"It is bittersweet," he said.
"I have probably cried 10 times," Traugh said with a laugh. "I have been thinking about all of these people in the past who have helped me and all of my super employees."
Some employees have been with him a number of years and have a very close relationship with him, Traugh said. Kompak has 24 employees at its three locations.
Traugh said the purchase deal involves Go Mart offering positions to all of his current employees.
The store locations are at Staunton Avenue, St. Marys Avenue adjacent to a Go Mart station and convenience store and on Camden Avenue near the former Roosevelt School. A fourth store on 23rd Street was sold earlier this year to an employee, Traugh said.
Kompak was established in the 1960s by Harry Thorn, Traugh said. It was among the oldest community-based chains in the nation, he said. The first store was the Staunton Avenue location, Traugh said. On Dec. 18, a Go Mart sign will go over top the Kompak's, he said.
Traugh will retain ownership of the real estate and the buildings. Go Mart is buying the name and the business, he said.
Plans for the St. Marys Avenue site call for a new and larger laundromat, Traugh said. Gary's Always Hot is leased to another party and is not involved, he said.
Officials with Go Mart did not return messages Monday and Tuesday left at their corporate offices in Gassaway, W.Va., seeking comment on the sale and what their plans are for the Kompak business.

World Markets: It's Sink or Swim
Jacob Frenkel has lived on both sides of the financial world: First, as a regulator — governor of the Central Bank of Israel — and now as a financial services firm; he's currently chairman of JPMorgan Chase International. As a panelist in the Chazen Institute's recent World Economic Forum, he had this to say about the road ahead in world markets:
What economists can't (or shouldn't) do: The purpose of economics is not to predict tomorrow but to understand processes as you go forward. So I will disappoint those who ask what should be his or her action tomorrow as they call the broker. This is not the type of analysis we bring.
Why some countries win: What is common to those countries that "made it" during the most recent crisis versus those countries that did not is that, by and large, market economies are doing better than centrally planned economies. It's not an accident that the latter collapsed. The most recent crisis has highlighted the critical role that is played by the financial sector: a banking system that is well capitalized, that has ample liquidity, and that is not excessively leveraged, is much stronger than a banking system that is not characterized by these features. In fact, countries with strong banking systems weather the storm in a much better way than those with weak banking systems. Great attention must be given to strengthen the financial system in general and the banking system in particular.
The importance of financial regulation: Good regulation is an intrinsic part of a well functioning market economy. It is important, however, that these regulations are fully enforced. Hence, supervision, especially of financial markets, is also an integral part of a market economy. Clarity and transparency are two important building blocks that facilitate a well functioning system. As is said about transparency: what you see is what you get, and what you don't see gets you.
Credibility is key: When we speak about the concept of credibility we say basically that the future matters. Because if we did not care about the future consequences of what we do today, we would not worry about being or not being credible. Credibility is a form of capital. Capital, like flowers, must be watered, must be maintained, and should not be depreciated. Credibility is accumulated slowly and lost quickly. As the saying goes, credibility is never owned, it is just rented.
What destroys society: I used to be a governor of a central bank of a country that had hyperinflation — Israel. I was governor throughout the 1990s. And I can tell you one thing: there is nothing that can destroy the fabric of society more than uncontrolled inflation. We should really watch for it. There has never been a situation in which inflation went out of control without the irresponsible excessive printing of money. The fact that we do not have inflation now and we did not have it for quite a few years in this part of the world is very good news, but I would never throw away the old textbooks dealing with inflation because they might prove their usefulness in the future.

USD Graduates Ten Students with the Nonprofit Management Certificate for Emerging Nonprofit Leaders Launched Last Fall 2013
The USD Certificate in Nonprofit Management was built to fit the busy lives of nonprofit professionals and to help them navigate the sector's challenges better. Ten professionals completed the program this year. "We are all working for the public good, whether that is through education, public policy, social service … to create a world where individuals have lives that are imbued with dignity, purpose, and hope … given our new knowledge and experience at USD, the possibilities of what we can accomplish collectively are infinite." says Catherine K. Nonprofit Management Certificate '13 (front row center).
"Nonprofits had to make some tough choices since the recession when there was extreme contraction and layoffs. I think they are slowly recovering, but nonprofits still face a cloudy future," according to Laura Deitrick, Director of the Caster Family Center for Nonprofit and Philanthropic Research. The Institute of Nonprofit Research at the School of Leadership and Education Sciences developed the Nonprofit Management Certificate program and uses its ongoing research to inform the curriculum. According to Pat Libby, Director of the Institute, "the program was created to be both a good preparation for those that want to enter the nonprofit sector or build upon current skills. It's also a pathway for the Nonprofit Leadership and Management graduate MA program."
Students have the option of a fully online format, or the on-ground classroom format. In the classroom format, classes are held one evening per week for 4-weeks. Students can take one course or the series of courses, one each month, to complete the Certificate in less than 9 months. The program requires five core courses and three electives: Introduction to Nonprofit Financial Management, Introduction to Fundraising, Developing Effective Nonprofit Boards, Attracting and Retaining the New Volunteer Workforce, Risk Management for Nonprofits, and more.
The instructors in the program, many of which teach in the graduate nonprofit program, are notable practitioners that share a great breadth and depth of knowledge about the nonprofit sector. "Students will build practical skills that they can put to work right away," says Jodi Waterhouse, Director of Corporate and Professional Programs for USD's Division of Professional and Continuing Education.
No application is required, each course is $349 and the entire Certificate program can be completed for less than $3,000. For more information and registration go to pce.sandiego.edu or call (619) 260-4585.

NHLA - when I grow up I want to run like you. amazing yearly mileage
NHLA - That's some miles. If I had 40 mph winds, I'd get a treadmill.
I got a gift card for Boulder Running Company for Christmas, and I'd had my eye on this for months. I'm now the proud owner . Now I have to get my mileage back up and go for some 3 hour runs!
10.2 miles, 1 hour 40 minutes. I ran on the cement path today to try to give my quads a break, and now my feet hate me. Oh well. It was a beautiful morning for a run along the creek.
7 miles 1 hr. Cold 40mph winds. Ran single track trails on south side of Eagle rock to get out of the wind. Great trail but you can sure bust it. Three trips but no falls. The rock does look like an eagle,
OC no TM for me. Hope backpack is ok running.
Today did 3.85 in 30 minutes. Very strong headwind fro 2.3 miles, but finish was with wind at my back. Weather today is sunny and 40 - not to bad to run in. I keep reading about everyone's plans for 2013. I don't really have any at this time. I keep looking at races to do but my weekends are pretty busy until mid March. I would like to try another HM, but don't think I could get training in for a spring HM. Oh well - I guess I will just keep running and see what
I despise the TM. My pace is always slower and it is sooo boring! Our town has a community center with an indoor track (1/10th mile). I will run there is the roads get too bad. There is an older gentleman that runs there that often runs 10 miles or more which is over 100 times around the track!
NHLA - 40 miles an hour is crazy! Your scenery always sounds amazing!
OC - I never ran with a pack. Let me know what it is like.
Dan - I love that kind of snow when everyone is forced to slow down. It brings out the good in people.
Chell - Great mileage! I wish I could get my DH to start running. Sometimes he rides along when I run. I did get him to do the Warrior Dash last June.
Deb - Take care of that ankle.
Merry Christmas, everyone! Have a Safe and Healthy week!
Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.
6/11/2011 - Warrior Dash Pennsylvania - 52:26
8/7/2011 - Danskin Sherox Triathlon Philadelphia - 1:54:16
11/5/2011 - Penn Homecoming 5K - 28:46
11/13/11 - Media Mud Stain 5 mile - 53:39
05/06/2012 - Broad Street Run 10 Mile - 1:36:11
06/03/12 - See Chicks Run 10 K - 54:23
09/16/12 - Rock & Roll Half Marathon Philadelphia - 2:03:07
18 miles 2 hr 31 min No wind!! Rock formations 100 foot tall covered with sheets of ice. Looked like a still waterfall.
francessmom - This pack was designed by trail runners. You know, no-names like Anton Krupicka and Scott Jurek. I read a dozen reviews, and the 2 worst reviews were 4 stars out of 5. It's been tested at Hardrock 100. I have been wearing a large fanny pack with 2 bottle holders, which has plenty of space but I have no hips for the belt to sit on. I end up with the buckle tight across my lower abdomen, and after about 10 miles I start to feel some pain. A fanny pack may be a viable option for you, and they're a lot cheaper.
You can train for a half in 20 miles/week, easily. Getting some 10-12 mile long runs on weekends may mean getting up before dawn, though.
An easy 4.5 today, 9:30 pace. It was sunny and 45, so I was in shorts and a long sleeve shirt. Then to church, and then "happened" to walk into Runner'sRoost Lakewood. They happened to have a pair of these on clearance.
So, I picked them up. The North Face Singletrack, heavier than my Minimus, but sometimes my feet hurt and I want more shoe, more protection.
Lovely LSD today! Long Slow Distance...10 sweet miles. Felt strong, no knee pain no hip pain. I carried a few super yummy Hammer Apple Cinnamon Gels (mmm!)
Old Coyote I have learned SO much from you! Thanks for that advice about 20 miles per week versus 100. I think I'll stick to 20 miles per week with one LSD and eventually speed work so I can run a MUCH better 10K in May. LOVE your new pack AND new shoes!! Yay.
jmsab23 Easy does it on those crazy stretches. Oh, yes...I'm a "glass is half full" gal! I've learned that I must find that speck of light in the dark no matter what, in order to survive. I'm no stranger to pain and tragedy...so I had a choice in life early on, either allow all the terrible things that I faced knock me down, or rise up and use gratitude as a life force. (whoa..heavy stuff, eh?) LOL
chell730 *Go, Chell, go!!*
justrundan That is a LOT of snow!
NHLA You are such an inspiration!
Debm2011 Sounds like a good deep rest is what you need right now! Enjoy.
Francessmom Have you tried running in the snow yet? I found over the last few years, that as long as the roads are plowed, running on them is pretty steady footing. Course, I have very quiet roads to run on, so I don't worry about slippy cars too much. I do wear some wild bright colors all winter and even a blinky light on dark days. Good luck on the indoor track.

Hello all, and hope you have a very Merry Christmas!
Been a while since last post, maybe a month or so. Since my trip to Afghanistan, I have been very tired and really trying hard to get back into a running groove. Have been reading all your posts and keeping up but life keeps getting in the way in terms of time to respond.
You all have some great stories over the last month, and the entire year. Take a moment to look back and reflect on what you have done, and how far you have come. Congrats to you!
And how we have all benefited from the support of this incredible group. PR's for some, first time Marathoners, beginners changing their lives for the better, you are all "runners". The best story of the year is from coyote who shared his experience during a race where a new runner, very overweight and struggling was approached by a very experienced and fit runner that stopped to say: "...there are two kinds of people in this world, runners and everyone else...and you are a runner." How cool is that?
I honestly never really thought of myself as a runner. But this year, at age 49, I ran two 10 mile races and 3 HM's, plus some local 5k's, 7k's etc. With one week to go in the year, I have run 200 times, logged just over 1160 miles in 204 hours for an average of 10:30 m/m, and burned 116,000 calories. So while I am not ecstatic about my recent attempts to get an average of 20 mpw, this year has been a huge success, especially since I have achieved my main goal of running injury free!
And you all have similarly exceptional experiences! I promise that I will be better about responding and keeping up more regularly heading into the New Year.
So as you wind down 2012, enjoy the time with your families, celebrate the Holidays, and look forward to an even more incredible 2013.
Thought I would share a quick view of my run yesterday from a local trail overlooking the Boulder Valley, the Flatiron Mountains to the left and the Rocky Mtns in the background. Am sure that coyote recognizes all of this!
Run strong, run free, and be "Fearless" in all that you do!
OldCoyote - nice shoes and pack!
MelodyLea - "Felt strong, no knee pain no hip pain." <== sweet!
Francesmom - I'm with you on the TM - although I will use it when necessary.
linus - welcome back! and thanks. It's nice to look back over the year at all the progress and good things we have done.
Slept in yesterday all the way to 9:00 (unheard of!), did absolutely nothing until about 1:00 then took a shower and headed out Christmas shopping and a little retail therapy. My ankle was much better - it never lasts more than 24 hours if I take care of it - and was able to get out to run today. 6.3 miles, 28 degrees. my weather app said the windchill was 22 but by the time I got out there wasn't really any wind - and I was way overdressed - thank goodness for layers. I hit the trails behind the pond and it was so nice and peaceful.
Merry Christmas Everyone!

Went out for an easy 2 miles, ended up with 3.5. Beautiful sunny morning but the weather forecast calls for snow after a midnight - yay!
Merry Christmas everyone. Warmest wishes to you and your families.
For those of you that remember Avery's story, her parents are in Hawaii as they had planned with her before she lost her fight with cancer. They had gone there almost every year as a family and it truly was Avery's favorite place. Last night they spread her ashes in her favorite spot, the Pacific Ocean, and rememberd "A VERY" special girl...
Just two days ago, Avery's mom, Vicki sent me a great message about running:
"I don't run to add days to my life. I run to add life to my days."
Words to live by...
6.2 miles 57 min. Worst hill in the county,
"I don't run to add days to my life. I run to add life to my days." That's very true for me lately.
melodylea - Nice 10 spot!
Debm - 9:00? I can't imagine. I made it to 8 once, in October.
linus - Great shot. Hard to tell with the zoom available, but were you up by NIST? On the Mesa trail?
I ran a nice 4.2 miler this morning, cold 20 degrees, but I was dressed right. I've taken to wearing 2 pair of compression shorts under my tights or running pants. Guys, I gotta tell you, that extra layer is a little bit of Heaven right here on Earth. I may do 90-120 minutes tomorrow, depending. We're supposed to get 5" or so of snow, slowing by dawn. That sounds like perfect running weather to me, so let's hope!
On a personal note, I saw Mrs Coyote today. She's back in this reality praise God, but still fragile and in need of help. However, because I don't have a job (and am frankly rather emotionally fragile myself) there is really nothing I can do right now. It was a bittersweet morning.
Merry Christmas, everyone. I wish you all love.
OC - glad for your bright spot. So sorry for your struggle. I can't imagine. Am hosting DD who is sound asleep sick and i am finding the spector of my mother really hard to deal with alone. I had things planned to avoid this very thing happening but the kid took a bunch of meds and Bam! So I can do this.
Haven't had a chance to read all your awesome accomplishments but I'm sure they are very impressive! They always are!! I've been nursing the congestion with the help of a lot of Mucinex. It's been very persistent but then I have been able to get some short runs in sporadically. This has been going on so long now I have trouble imagining 6 mi. let alone 10 or 13 but I finally felt strong yesterday for the first two miles- and then my nose didn't stop running all night.
Have great holidays, all! Run strong and safe?

I've started mlx long before turning orange on the forums, now it could be a branch in the main repository. Btw if anyone would like to contribute, I'd be happy to either add committers on sourceforge or create a branch over here.
If I apply patches, I want to be sure not to break anything. This requires to understand the initial behaviours, the changes and do some testing; this takes some time.

Local retailers happy with holiday sales
Published: Tuesday, December 31, 2013 at 8:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 31, 2013 at 11:02 a.m.
National retailers have reported mixed results after slower than expected holiday sales culminated in a last-dash rush.
But that's not the case in Houma, according to retail managers who say local shoppers emptied aisles this holiday season.
"I don't know if that is a national trend or what, but we had a really great Christmas," said J.C. Penney General Manager Terry Perkins. "I have read that retailers are heavy on inventory, but we came out very light. We have very little left over on our shelves after the holidays."
Nationwide, holiday sales grew by about 3.5 percent according to MasterCard advisor SpendingPulse, though some news outlets have reported lower cash volumes due to heavy discounting and efforts to attract last minute shoppers.
Sales came late, hastened by the shortened period between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year, but sales picked up at the last minute.
Driving strong sales at the Houma J.C. Penney store were furniture, housewares and a newly christened Disney Store, Perkins said.
"It is similar to the type of merchandise you would find at the Disney Store at Lakeside Mall or Mall of Louisiana, but we offer a lot of those goods at lower prices," Perkins said. "People just ate it up."
At big-box retailer Best Buy, the holiday season has been marked by the late release of two anticipated gaming systems: Microsoft's Xbox One and Sony's Playstation 4.
"It really created the perfect storm for us in terms of getting people excited and in the store at the right time," said Charlie Roe, store manager at the Best Buy on Martin Luther King Boulevard in Houma.
Sales in tablets as well as the new Samsung Galaxy S4 helped Best Buy record holiday sales not only locally, but nationwide.
"The new Amazon Kindle Fire was very popular," Roe said. "The Galaxy S4 has been a popular item across the board."
Nationwide, luxury goods and electronics accounted for a 2.3 percent increase during the Nov. 1 to Dec. 24 period as compared with the same time frame in 2012, SpendingPulse reported.
Both Roe and Perkins said returns have been light in the first few days following Christmas.
"We have had folks in to exchange sizes on clothing items here and there, but there have been no major duds," Perkins said.
Roe said, "We have not gotten a lot of returns in electronics. People seem to be happy with what they got."
The biggest winners this holiday season in terms of sales growth have been online retailers. Online sales surged nearly 10 percent this year over last, according to the Associated Press.

Most kids between the ages of 5 and 12 need 10 to 11 hours of sleep each night. But getting kids to bed can be tough sometimes! This game introduces children to the concept of getting enough sleep.
The game shows different animals. The challenge is to pick who needs more sleep — the kid or the animal.

I've been listening to this show for a LONG time, and it has emerged as one of my favorites. I'm a BIG fan of the July 91 tour with the Giant Country Horns. Many complained of repetitive setlists, but the horns REALLY brought out a serious aspect in Phish's music, not to mention the amazing abilities of Carl Gerhard, Dave Grippo, and Russell Remington...those guys tear some serious solos. Anyway, IMO, this show is amazing, and should be heard by EVERYONE. It contains some VERY strong playing, and showcases Phish way ahead of thier time. It's also one of the cleanest performances by the horn section. VERY tight, and very inspired. I'd REALLY like to spread this tape. My copy is an Audience recording, and I'm DYING to find a Soundboard. Matt King gave me this show a LONG time ago...thanks...now who's got my upgrade? Read on...
Phish: 7-19-91 Somerville Theater NH
I: Golgi, Landlady, Bouncin', David Bowie, Fee Cavern, You Enjoy Myself, Gumbo, Touch Me
II: Suzie Greenberg, Divided Sky, I Didn't Know, My Sweet One, Magilla, Tweezer, Mango Song, BBFCFM, Lawn Boy, Runaway Jim
E: Frankenstien
Golgi: Back in the day, when Phish didn't have as many tunes, this song was cool. It's still cool now. The horns add a little to this tune, but it basically serves as a warm up for both the band and the horns. It's nicely played on my tape. I wouldn't go crazy about it though.
Landlady: This tune serves up some of the best playing in the band. This composition is fiery, and with the horns, it BURNS. In this particular version, Gerhard tears the roof off the joint. Grippo absolutely rips also. It's nice to hear these guys blow over the changes. Page lays it down, and all is well. You hafta hear this. I think this is great music. Many shall agree.
Bouncin' : Surprisingly not a throw away. The boys must enjoy playing this tune immensely. This version has some energy that I think others lack. Perhaps that's why I dislike the song. The band could play it in their sleep, and perhaps that's why it's been really blah. This version has some intensity in the vocals, and the tempo isn't lethargic. It's nice, and it flows well into...
Bowie: How many have heard Bowie with the horns? Put your hands down...it wasn't featured much on the tour. This version is awesome with the horns supporting the band heavily on the composed section. The jam is straight Phish, sans horns, and is jammed nicely, although there is a bit of a hiccup right before the push to the end. The trills and whatnot are clean as piss, and the horns cap the song as well. Great version...if not for the jamming then at least for the addition of the horns.
Fee: This may have been the low point of the set. This tune WAS lethargic, and there was very little intensity. You can tell it was popular at the time, because the crowd is singing at THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS. What's this??? Dave Matthews Concert?? Forget it.
Cavern: Is funky and Gerhard has some fun ripping that lick at the end. C'mon admit it..it's cool. I enjoy this tune with the horns, and recently it has been a bit more laid back. This version while strong is comparable to the rest of the Caverns on the tour.
YEM: Is where things get interesting. The opening composed section is tight, although Trey has some problems hitting "The Note". Oh well, he managed to jam around it pretty nicely. When the Gmin7 to C9 jam starts, the horns add this PHAAAT lick. It adds a nice bit of flare. Charlie should try and review this YEM, I'd be interested as to what he has to say about it. (hint) Anyway, about halfway through after Page rips his solo, Trey starts his bit, and sinks into a Frankenstien tease. It's a bit more than a tease, but not the whole tune ala 7-8-94. Phish ahead of it's time. Before the 7-8-94 there was 7-19-91. The jam ends with the horns helping Mike take it home, and some Maceo Parker teases (sorry..don't know the name of the tune). The vocal jam is like summer 97 (phish ahead of it's time) with the Wash Uffizi's placed between solos and fills from Fish. Nice vocal jam. Nice YEM. Thank you Cleveland.
Gumbo: Tears pretty fierce. The tempo is up in this version, so it lends itself nicely to jamming and hornspeak. This chart is made by the horns. While it can jam without it...it's akin to Suzie...once you hear it with the horns, you never hear it the same way again. Check this version out.
Touch Me: Fish at his best. What more can I say. The set closes in style with Trey telling everyone to stick around because they are showing the Esther video during setbreak. Cool first set, with a YEM not to be missed. Dirk...you got anything to say about that?
Set II:
Suzie: Well, there are no crazy antics in this one, but some bad ass plying from the horns and the Page. Gerhard nails every high "E". That's cool. Carl you are a great player...and a very cool guy taboot. Thanks for everything
Divided Sky: IMO, this is THE Divided Sky of all time. My favorite of all time. The horns...I'll say it again...bring out a flair so that the music just explodes!! The 15/8 section where the chords rise and Page rises is amazing, for the lone fact that the horns rise right with him, and it feels sooo good when Trey hits that melody, which is a fine example of the compostional ability of these guys. Simply amazing. I've used this version of DS as Philler, and it has been received very favorable. Get this.
I Didn't Know: Well, if nothing else, it gives the horns a rest, and showcases the *very* strong singing ability of the band.
MSO: Things getting a bit dull...I love this tune for the "And if your dog or cat ever dies I'll buy you a Ewe" line.
Magilla: Holy Shit...this is some serious fun. From Carl's Up On the Housetop tease to the trading solos between Fish and the Horns. This version is my all time favorite. It's just fun. And there is some great playing. God I love this show.
Tweezer: Is still evolving, but played nicely with the horns. The ending is kinda cool with the descending chromatic licks. I like it...although I've never been a serious Tweezer Freak...this version is very pleasing to my ears.
Mango Song: Huh? Wierd placement if you ask me, but it still is a great tune. Nicely played.
BBFCFM: With horn intros is funny. Each horn player gets to go on a little tirade when he is announced. I like all of them, not to mention the chaos that a BBFCFM brings...add horns and you have some sensory overload. One-Two-Three-Four.
Lawn Boy: Mmmm....Page sings loungy style. He cracks me up. For musical content, again check out Carl Gerhard's solo. You go Miles.
Runaway Jim: Is a nice set closer, but the Frankencore reeks of power. Such a fun show. And well, my favorite horn show ever. It's a great show. Now who has the DAT so I can get a Phatty copy and tree it? I could listen to the show forever.
Anyway Folks...If y'all are interested in obtaining this tape, drop me a line. If you have a nice copy of the show..please let me know. I have plenty to trade. Either way, I'm going to do a big horn show offer soon, especially trying to get the 7-18-91 show out a bit. It's pretty rare, but has some nice moments. Thanks for reading, and I'd appreciate some feedback on this. Again, if you are interested in obtaining a copy of the show...drop me a line...let me know why. Charlie...get cracking on that YEM.
Bye Ryan

A reunion for all those who served with the 1-125 Field Artillery (past or present) was held at the St. James American Legion this past Saturday.
After a lunch was served by the members of the Watonwan County Beyond the Yellow Ribbon, a few were given the opportunity to speak about there experiences and reminisce about the past.
One such speaker was August W. Turner, who served from 1943 to 1945, flying more missions over Italy than he was years old. His speech concluded with a standing ovation from the audience.
In the audience were more than 160 past members of the 1-125 Field Artillery and their family. The group is planning to make this an biennial event and hoping to keep it local.
Contact Mike Grote at 507-317-8552 or e-mail email@example.com with any questions about future events.

|Step 1 of the new water garden
But okay, I'll go with the flow (pun intended). At the Whistling Swan Inn, my New Jersey bed and breakfast, there is a hill in the back where nothing grows. So, we're putting in a water feature, which consists of a pond at the top corner of our English garden and terraced rocks with water cascading down them.
Once completed, we plan to have a cozy sitting area where guests can relax with morning coffee or an evening bottle of wine set against a backdrop of burbling water. We might even have fish! However, there is much work to be done before we buy those water plants.
The digging, is done. Tom spent an entire day with a mini excavator, rented from my pal, Eric, owner of Sussex County Rental Center. The photo at right is not a crime scene, despite the tape and six-feet deep hole at the bottom....it's Step 1 of what will be a beautiful enhancement to the Inn's landscape, designed for the enjoyment of our guests.
Check back, as I will be posting updates as each step of the process is completed.

Autism Affects 1 in 110 Children – $25 Helps a Family During the Critical First Months
When a child is diagnosed with autism, his or her parents are often left feeling overwhelmed and confused about what to do next and where to turn for help. Autism Speaks' 100 Day Kit is a valuable tool for these families and helps make the first few weeks and months after diagnosis a little less daunting. In order to defray the cost of the 100 Day Kit and provide it to newly diagnosed families, we need your support. Each kit costs $25 to produce.
Please support this very important initiative, which directly assists families affected by autism NOW.
- Make a gift of $25 to provide a "100 Day Kit" which will aid a newly diagnosed family today
- Join the Official Autism Speaks Cause on Facebook
- Use your Facebook status to ask your friends to donate to this project and spread the word
The 100 Day Kit includes information about autism and dealing with the news of a diagnosis. The personalized kit lists local service providers, support groups, recreational activities, sources of legal information, conferences, local autism organizations and information about the local chapter of Autism Speaks. It provides insight into getting services for a newly diagnosed child and explains various available treatment options. A week-by-week action plan helps walk a family through the steps they need to take to ensure that they are on the right track. The kit also includes a safety plan and a list of recommended books and informational websites. In March, Autism Speaks launched a separate Asperger Syndrome and High Functioning Autism Tool Kit.
Families whose children have been diagnosed in the last 6 months may request a complimentary hard copy of the 100 Day Kit or the AS/HFA Tool Kit by calling 888-AUTISM2 (888-288-4762) and speaking with an Autism Response Team Coordinator.
Every 20 minutes, a child is diagnosed with autism. When families first get the diagnosis of autism, it can be difficult. Our hope is that the "100 Day Kit" will provide families with a greater sense of hope, with resources, and information that will help make those first few months just a little bit easier.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your continued support.

I am an Autism Mediator. I try to assist families and the ASD person sort through and make sense of all the information thrown at people to help increase understanding of the disorder and help resolve conflicts.
June 2, 2010 at 8:28 pm
If parents also have typical children, remember mediation can help the family understand that although the care of an ASD child msy be time intensive, it doesn't make anyone else less important. email@example.com
