Consumerist Editor Ben Popken will be on Fox Business News Monday at 12 noon to discuss the changes in store for FICO 08. UPDATE: It looks like our video slave is home today, so if anyone wants to DVR Ben's appearance and email the video file to email@example.com, we'll like, make you a cake or something.
I'm pretty offended that Ben would contribute to the startup of the Fox News Business network. I think it is pretty likely that we will see Fox Business follow the path of Fox News. In the business news context, that will mean carrying water for anti-consumer business interests.
I know it is flattering to be invited onto TV, but Fox Business is a startup and they are desperate to fill up their time. It is not a big of an honor as you think it is.
Sorry for the harsh criticism, but we have Newscorp largely to blame for the sorry state of public discourse and the balance of power in America today.
@AT203: Killjoy
Offended. The battle cry of the ineffectual.
@AT203: rofl you can't be serious. its sad/scary that someone with your thoughts like that exist.
on another note, why the heck does consumerist load cache.gawker.com and why the heck does cache.gawker.com load sofa king slow?
My question is why Ben would be invited to talk about FICO scores. Why not someone from, oh, I don't know, Fair Isaac Corporation or even Equifax, Experian, or Transunion? Why not someone from Chase or Citigroup? Why not a major credit card issuer like Capital One or Discover? What about Wells Fargo or Washington Mutual or someone who grants credit for mortgages, etc.? Really, why not our dear friend Elizabeth Warren?
It just sounds like they had to pass up a lot of people that are actually in the industry or have a background with this to pass this topic on to the editor of Consumerist.com…
@nick2588: Faux News isn't known for employing experts.
Congratz Ben! Any exposure is good exposure. Just don't take that too literally.
@chili_dog: Well put.
@AT203: Don't worry. As soon as the camera is on Ben he's going to scream BABABOOEY!!!
remember ben; nothing but a sock on…nothing but a sock
@niteflytes1: I'm going to have to remember that. Well put.
@faust1200: That would be quite rad.
Damn, I meant to respond to Chili_Dog in my first @.
foxnews is excluding ron paul from the next debate
Did he get bumped? It's 12:07 and still no Ben….
AT203's posting history reminds me of that character on SNL that (forgot the same) that always said negative things no matter what the conversation. Downer someone, or something to that effect…?
Yes! Here it is…
AT203 I crown you the new "Debbie Downer"
12:18 Still no Ben…I give up
OKAY…it came on at 12:30, my phone rang, by the time I was able to hang up, I heard the "Thank you" to Ben for coming on :"'(
Conveniently DVR broken and new one coming tomorrow.
I got pushed back to 12:25ish.
Why would the Fox Business Channel want to hear the consumer side of things? Aren't we consumers the people who cause poor poor businesses all these problems?
@tadowguy: That's right. If all you pesky consumers could just have more money, we wouldn't even need this FICO score crap! :-p

•3 suspected Bolivians to be tried before deportation
By CHRIS ANUCHA Thursday, February 23, 2012
•Pastor Agbojo
Photo: Sun News Publishing
The case against a South African based Nigerian clergy, Pastor Adebayo Agbojo, came to a dramatic end recently, when the Chief Magistrate court 17 , Igbosere, Lagos, struck it out and discharged the defendant.
Beyond that, the Magistrate, Mr. Jacob Adegun, ordered that his international passport, with the court's Registrar since 2010, be released to him immediately. Ironically, the case was struck out on February 14, the day the court was supposed to start hearing0 the matter for the first time.
In his ruling, the Magistrate said: "It appears that the prosecution is not ready to prosecute the defendant upon the application of the prosecution for withdrawal of the charge against the defendant, this case is struck out and the defendant discharged.
The international passport of the defendant with the court's Registrar should be released to him immediately."
Agbojo's prosecutors were said to have always been absent in the court, while the plaintiff, Chief Bakare did not appear in court even for once.
Crimewatch can recall that this is not the first time the pastor would get judgment in his favour. An Ikeja High court, in August 2010, had ordered his unconditional release from detention. The court also ordered the Nigeria police to release his property confiscated in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, and Lagos, and awarded N150,000 damages in his favour. After the court order, police still held him for several weeks before releasing him, but without releasing his personal effects, as directed by the law court. Up till now, the Nigeria police are yet to pay the N150,000 damage to the defendant.
Daily Sun broke the news of Agbojo's arrest and incacerraction at Zone 2 police headquarters, Onikan, Lagos, in its Thursday, May 6, 2010 edition. After the report, Zone 2 police command quickly moved him to the Federal Criminal Investigation Bureau(FCIB), Alagbon, Ikoyi.
This led to a petition to the former Inspector General of Police, Mr. Ogbonna Onovo. In the letter , which was dated May, 14, 2010 Agbojo's Lawyers Bimpe Olatemiju of CitiLawyers chambers, Lagos, narrated how a business transaction between the pastor and Chief Bakare turned sour, leading to the latter using the police to arrest and detained him. The letter was also copied to the former Assistant Inspector General of Police(AIG) in charge of Zone 2, Mr. Azubuko Udah(now a retired Deputy Inspector General of Police), former Lagos State Police Commissioner, Mr. Marvel Akpoyibo. Also in the letter, Olatemiju explained how Agbojo was invited by Chief Bakare, for a peace meeting, only for him to be arrested by the police. "Since the 24th of March 2010, our client has been detained in police cell at Zone 2 headquarters, Onikan, and now at Ikoyi prison, Lagos, following a petition from Chief Bakare, alleging fraud in respect of the same transaction…Our client has not been heard in any court since his arrest over two months ago, which is an infringement of his right to fair hearing and personal liberty," the petitioner had said.
In conclusion, the lawyer appealed to Onovo to look into the matter and cause his client to be granted bail or be charged to court, as stipulated by the laws of the land.
The pastor's travails began in March 24, 2010, when a popular auto dealer and Chairman of Oluwalogbon Motors, Chief Stephen Olakunle Bakare, wrote a petition to the police, alleging that Agbojo shortchanged him in $3.5million diamond deal(deposits) in South Africa.
Chief Bakare and Agbojo were said to have enjoyed a robust relationship for many years before the business tore them apart. The pastor had told how he consulted for Bakare, whom he also called, 'my father' on spiritual matters, before their relationship went awry, when the cleric relocated to South Africa. He was said to have told the businessman that a South African and member of his church in Kimberlyn, one Mbude David, advised him to acquire a farmland, which had been confirmed by geologist to contain large deposits of diamond, as South African economic system allowed individual participation in the extraction of natural resources like gold and diamond.
According to Agbojo, Mbude took him to Kimberlyn District, where he was introduced to one Faber Williams, the owner of the 324 hectares of land, and he offered to sell it for 1.5 million Rand(about N30 million).
The pastor disclosed that he deposited the sum of 700,000 Rand, which is about N14million, for the land, but could not raise the balance and money for the mining. According to him, that was how he decided to contact Chief Bakare. When the auto dealer inspected the field, he not only indicated his interest in the business, by financing it, he also said he would buy it over, refund Agbojo the money he paid, which he (Agbojo) did not object to.
Bakare decided to register in South Africa company called, Unit-Space Import and Export Company Incorporated, to enable him and members of his family, to carry out business in South Africa. Agbojo had disclosed that when Bakare paid unscheduled visit to South Africa, he told him of his intension to hand over all the activities relating to diamond field to his wife. "Since I have been edged out of the business, I demanded a refund of the N14million I already committed to the deal. As part of the peace process, the pastor had come to Nigeria to ask for the refund, unknown to him that Bakare, who was already feeling cheated, had written a petition to the South African Embassy, alleging that he(Agbojo) connived with others at large, to dupe him. He also sent the petition to the police, which led to his arrest, when he returned to Nigeria.
In a witness statement he made at the police station, Chief Bakare alleged that Agbojo was pestering his life for more that six years. Following the protracted feud between the duo and the seizure of his international passport, it became difficult for him to travel to South Africa to visited his wife and children and to renew their stay there. Also affected by his travails were the flock under his care, who were left without shepherd for years. Consequently, the South African government asked members of his family to leave the country on October 2011.
Speaking on the court ruling, elated Agbojo described his travails as one of the temptations that could come the way of any servant of God. He is, however, happy that at last, he was vindicated by the court of law.
Agbojo, who was the General Overseer of Forever Living International Prayer Church, told this reporter that what he called, 'the wilderness experience' made him to have a deeper understanding of the God and the Holy Bible. The man, who has since ceased to be addressed as General Overseer(GO), said he is now simply known as 'Pastor'.
He said it was also revealed to him that Saturday is the only day (seventh day) which must be kept holy. By implication, he is no more practising Pentecostalism but now 'Sabbatherian' . Crimewatch gathered that his Pentecostal church has also dissolved into Seventh Day Adventist Church.

Jackson, WY (AP) - The town of Jackson paid $10,000 to settle a federal lawsuit over the arrest of a Kansas anti-abortion protester.
Mark Holick, a pastor with Spirit One Christian Ministries in Wichita, Kansas, sued the town and police officials following his 2011 arrest on the town square.
The town released records showing its settlement payment in response to a request from The Associated Press.
Holick's arrest came shortly after Jackson officials secured a state court order barring anti-abortion protesters from appearing on the town square. His lawsuit charged that the arrest violated his civil rights.
The State of Wyoming earlier announced that it had paid $60,000 in the case to settle claims against two Jackson police officers while the Local Government Liability Pool said it paid $155,000 in the case.

Hi Ed,
I've read about Vista problems, and Cabrillo College in Aptos, Ca where
I'm taking network admin. and OS classes has had a lot of problems
w/their Vista machines.
I was wondering why you said Vista is a big step backwards, you teach
OS's and I'm interested in hearing your perspective.

With a steady hand and a friend to help, grab a saw or box cutter and cut off the bottom of the tub. The amount you cut off will depend on your height and the length you want the cupcake to be.
Fold each piece of paper in approximately two-inch sections like an accordion. Fold four pieces of poster board to assure you'll have enough to wrap around the tub.
Apply hot glue to the tub in small sections right below the top lip. Glue each piece of poster board one by one. The glue dries quickly, so glue, then place the board, and so on. Use caution with the hot glue gun to prevent painful burns.
Grab medium-sized clumps of the poly fill and roll into a more secure bunch. Apply glue to the top of the lip of the bin and place down. Continue all the way around the top, stacking the poly fill higher. Remember to keep a hole in the center to stand in.
Cut a large piece of tulle or use the entire yard and place it over the poly fill. Hot-glue the edges of the tulle on the outside of the lip of the tub, against the poster board and on the inside. This will keep the frosting from falling off and losing shape.
Hot-glue the mini pom-poms to the tulle. This will create a sprinkle effect and add some color to the cupcake.
Tie two pieces of ribbon to the two handles so they're hidden by the tulle, or hot-glue the ribbon to the inside of the bin. Measure the ribbon prior to cutting to be sure the straps are long enough.

This year, Stantec came onboard to support the fundraiser which benefits the Rainbow Society of Alberta, the Make a Wish Foundation of Northern Alberta and the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation. To kick start the fundraising, Stantec stepped up with an extremely generous $10,000 donation to encourage fans to participate.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for Stantec to partner with the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation and to support these exceptional charities," said Keith Shillington, Vice President at Stantec. "It's a chance for us to give back to the community where we work and live."
Sold for $20 each, every signature green puck was individually wrapped and signed by one of the Oilers, leaving an element of mystery to excited purchasers. Twenty-three lucky Oilers fans who unwrapped pucks signed in gold ink also took home an Oilers team-signed hockey stick.
"Puck Surprise is not only a great way for Oilers fans to purchase a unique souvenir and have fun testing their luck, but it's also a great way to help give back to some very special young children in Oil Country that really need it," said EOCF Executive Director Natalie Minckler. "We're overwhelmed by the generosity of our fans and by Stantec's generous donation to kick off this event which will ensure we're able to make a meaningful donation to these local organizations."
All 2,500 signature green pucks were sold out by the end of evening. The Puck Surprise Charity Online Auction featuring 80 Oilers items will be open until March 22.

I worked for Threedom Sales for almost 2 years. I always thought the company was legitimate, tho our sales methods were ridiculous, as far as I knew everyone got there magazines, and I got to travel the country while selling them.
It was not until we started making our way around the country again and I started knocking on the same doors that I had in the past that I realized the company was a Scam!! I was seeing receipts with my name on them and subscriptions they didnt receive. (In my defense all the subscriptions I sent home to family were received.)
I would just like to apolgize to anyone that I have personally ripped off through this company, and would like to make it right. I have just finished paying off the IRS back taxes for all those years and all the money that I Supposedly made working for Threedom Sales! They ripped off there employees as much as they did the customers. For anyone that still has a receipt with my name on it. I will personally repay your money.
Happy Holidays

India Inc mobilised Rs 791.8 cr in Feb: SEBI
The market regulator said that India Inc registered a decline of 93.5 per cent over the previous month.
Mumbai: Market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Monday said India Inc mobilised only Rs 791.8 crore in the primary market through five issues during February, 2012, registering a decline of 93.5 per cent over the previous month.
Corporates had mobilised Rs 12,126.6 crore through four issues in January.
"During February, 2012, Rs 791.8 crore was mobilised in the primary market through five issues as compared to Rs 12,126.6 crore mobilised through four issues in January, 2012, showing a decrease of 93.5 per cent over the previous month," SEBI said in its monthly bulletin on Monday.
However, it said, the cumulative amount mobilised for the financial year 2011-12 so far, stood at Rs 44,603.8 crore through 61 issues as against Rs 61,094.0 crore through 77 issues during the corresponding period in 2010-11.
SEBI further said, in February, all the issues were equity issues which came to the market after a gap of four months.
"Of the five equity issues, two issues worth Rs 672.2 crore were mobilised through initial public offer (IPO) and three issues amounting to Rs 119.6 crore were rights issues, it added.

Big Brother already has access to our permanent records, and soon he might literally be capable of looking over our shoulders.
The T-Hawk is a flying robot small enough to fit in your backpack and able to hover deftly, observe its surroundings, and pursue a target. The Draganflyer X6 is an ultraquiet miniature helicopter that weighs less than three pounds and can stealthily photograph subjects wherever they are—indoors or out. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) like these have transformed the way we wage war on foreign soil. Soon they may change how we police our streets at home.
Supporters of UAVs in the military claim that these soldierless drones are lifesavers, writes Joseph Nevins for the Boston Review (Jan.-Feb. 2011). They can seek out bombs, secure perimeters, and execute precise attacks that proponents say are safer for civilians.
To Noel Sharkey, professor of artificial intelligence and robotics at England's University of Sheffield, there is nothing lifesaving about UAVs. With them, our leaders are able to wage attacks that would otherwise be impossible, and critical nuances—like enemy surrender and due process—are not an option. By Sharkey's way of thinking, Nevins observes, "robots lead to such asymmetry that war becomes increasingly like terrorism."
Regardless of these implications, the UAV tech industry is booming. Conservative estimates anticipate that it will be worth $4.5 billion to $11.5 billion by 2015. And there are new robots in the works: a robo-snake, a grenade-launching bot, a flying Humvee.
As UAV technology advances, interest in domestic applications grows. At their most helpful, the unmanned vehicles could serve as inanimate police officers, video-recording crime scenes, assisting in arrests, and helping search for missing persons. With these uses in mind, some law enforcers happily predict that UAVs will someday be as ubiquitous as tasers.
The United Kingdom plans to use military-style UAVs to enforce order at the 2012 Olympics. Already U.K. police have employed micro UAVs to monitor public protests and other "antisocial" behavior.
As is often the case with trendy technologies, our regulation of them will need to catch up. If robot police are the wave of the future, there must be safeguards to prevent law enforcement agencies from abusing their new, far-reaching powers of surveillance and documentation.

What are you most proud of? The crust was nice and thin and the taste of the crust was excellent. In fact, I've never had a store-bought pizza or a delivered pizza that had a crust that was as good as this.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Work on the crust which is taught in the course. One of the most important things is to make sure your oven is really hot. My oven does not get hot very quickly and I think I need to let it preheat even longer. The crust was not cooked as crispy as it should've been. But it was very delicious nonetheless.
Looks soooooo good!!!
They were really tasty, especially the crust!!
Looks great, Im just about to start one!

Associated Press
WENATCHEE — Gov. Chris Gregoire visited a firefighting camp Thursday and pledged more state resources to help battle several large wildfires burning across Eastern Washington.
Across the region, nearly 3,000 firefighters dug lines and burned dry grass and brush in the path of the fires. Crews worked to better control the blazes before the weather changes.
Earlier Thursday, the governor signed an emergency declaration for all the state's counties east of the Cascade Range. National Guard helicopters are among the resources authorized by that proclamation. A Chinook helicopter is able to deliver a 2,000-gallon water bucket.
Seven large complexes of fires have burned across 229 square miles of parched land east of the Cascades, where some areas have gone without any measurable rain for weeks.
Gregoire pledged two National Guard helicopters promptly and two more soon to help fight fires burning in Chelan County, the Wenatchee World reported. She noted that the availability of firefighting resources in Washington and nearby states is extremely limited due to existing firefighting efforts.
"This is one of the worst fire situations that I can recall during my time as governor," Gregoire said in a statement. "Firefighters have done a tremendous job to keep people safe, and keep the number of homes lost to a minimum. But they need more resources, especially as we expect weather conditions to remain less than favorable."
State Lands Commissioner Peter Goldmark called the governor to ask for additional helicopters to fight the fires, she said.
Heavy smoke covered much of the region Thursday, eroding air quality but serving a positive sign of low winds and fires that weren't quite so active. Firefighters hoped to take advantage of the favorable conditions before the weather shifts again.
A high pressure system in the area through Thursday was expected to lift Friday, and the effect is much like removing a lid from a hot pot, said Connie Mehmel, a spokeswoman for a complex of fires burning in the Wenatchee area.
"As that starts to lift, we can get instability in the area — more winds, more active fires — like opening the flue," Mehmel said.
Nearly 3,000 firefighters were assigned to the seven large fire complexes Thursday, according to the state Department of Natural Resources. Some of those crews worked through the night Wednesday to dig fire lines, protect structures and set ablaze dry fuels that could feed the fires during the heat of day.
Near Lake Chelan, residents of 28 homes were warned to be ready to evacuate if a 20-acre wildfire grows. The fire, located about 9 miles northwest of Chelan, was visible from town.
Several fires near Wenatchee together have burned across 44 square miles. No homes have been lost on any of those blazes, Mehmel said.
About 300 homes threatened by major fires in the Wenatchee area are under mandatory evacuation orders, spokesman John Kruse said late Thursday.
A fire near the community of Entiat, north of Wenatchee, was 35 percent contained, Mehmel said, but fire officials had no containment estimates for the other fires in that complex.
Near Grand Coulee Dam, two fires grew to a combined 91,883 acres, or 143 square miles. Fire officials confirmed on Wednesday that three homes and nine outbuildings had burned there. The fire was 63 percent contained by late Thursday.
Another fire burning 17 miles southwest of Creston was 40 percent contained. That fire has blacked 24,500 acres, or about 38 square miles, some 50 miles west of Spokane.

Nintendo's been on shaky ground, but the company has just revealed some more positive news in its financial report: It's back in profit, a year after its first ever financial loss. Profits for the nine months of the fiscal year were ¥14.5 billion ($159 million) compared to a ¥48 billion loss for the same period in 2011.

Catalyst-free CVD route simplifies production of graphene analogues
Graphene analogues of boron nitride can now be grown directly by chemical vapour deposition on silicon substrates without the use of catalysts. The research, performed by scientists in China, offers a simpler route to producing mono- and few-atomic-layer boron nitride nanosheets for use in a range of applications such as composites, catalyst supports, gas adsorption and nanoelectronics.
Boron nitride (BN) can be made into atomically thin 2D crystals due to its hexagonal structure similar to graphite. Previously, BN nanosheets have been prepared by exfoliation of bulk crystals and solid-state chemical reaction. Continuous BN films, with few atomic layers, have also been synthesized by chemical vapour deposition (CVD ) using nickel or copper as catalysts.
Now, mono- and few-atomic-layer BN sheets can be grown directly by CVD without using catalysts, which makes the large-scale production of BN nanosheets simple and eliminates the problem of contamination by any residual catalyst.
As well as being catalyst-free, the grown BN sheets are well separated and grow vertically. This wonderful growth process contrasts with common sense that suggests that the CVD process generates flat films on the substrate surface.
This work was carried out by researchers at Shenzhen Graduate School, Harbin Institute of Technology (SGS-HIT) and the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Formation and growth
The BN nanosheets are synthesized in a microwave plasma CVD system from a gas mixture of BF3–H2–N2. Formation of the BN nanosheets is due to the strong etching reactivity of F on the BN phase. The increase in the number of atomic layers during growth is by nucleation on the surfaces of previously grown BN sheets and the increase in the layer size occurs due to the formation of covalent bonds between B and N atoms at the layer edges. Because the new nuclei are bonded with the previously grown BN sheets by van der Waals forces they are more easily etched than the covalently bonded edge atoms of the BN sheets. The result is the formation of 2D BN sheets.
Currently the research group is tailoring the properties of the material by doping the structure with carbon as well as investigating ways to precisely control the number of layers and shape of the BN sheets.
Additional information can be found in the journal Nanotechnology.

When you enter the Law School you will notice an atmosphere that is welcoming and personal. Although each student is assigned a class rank based on academic performance, Valparaiso Law students understand that it is important to support each other and work together as colleagues–not competitors. The student body reflects a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and points of view, thereby contributing to the diversity of the law school community and the University. This is reflected in our 2013 entering class where 47% of our students are from groups underrepresented in the law, 39% over all three classes. Students are encouraged to join and participate in a range of the 35 student organizations available.
Over 5,000 Valparaiso Law alumni are located in every state and some internationally, with practice areas varying from top sports agents to public defenders. Graduates in the last two years reported careers in the following employment areas, listed below. We have included the names of a few of the employers.
- Law Firm/Private Practice (Hoeppner Wagner & Evans – Valparaiso, IN; Jenner & Block – Chicago; Plews Shadley Racher & Braun LLP – Indianapolis; Vorys Sater Seymour & Pease – Columbus, OH; Lewis Law – Chicago; Bollinger Ruberry & Garvey – Chicago; Counsel for Meridian Title – Indianapolis)
- Government (Indiana Supreme Court; US Department of Justice; Cook (IL), Dekalb (IL), Maricopa County (AZ) State's Attorney offices; Marion County Public Defender's Office (Indianapolis); Lake County Prosecutor's Office (IN); Department of Child Services (IN); US Bankruptcy Court (NC); Ohio Attorney General; US Navy Office of the Judge Advocate General – D.C.)
- Public Interest (Constare Group; Family and Youth Services Bureau – Porter County, IN; Legal Aid of North Carolina; Sanctuary for Families – New York; Incontro Law)
- Business/Industry (University of Chicago Hospital; ExxonMobil; The Boeing Company)
- Academic (Ball State University; Hamilton County Schools; New Jersey City University)
Read below why our alumni chose to attend Valparaiso Law; also view two student profile videos.
"I chose Valparaiso University Law School because of its dedication to and its promotion of service. The Law School prides itself on law as a calling and successfully implements service to others in all aspects. I have found numerous sources fulfilling that calling as well as enabling my growth and dedication to the legal field, including several externship opportunities, team participation, the clinic program, and extremely helpful and knowledgeable faculty. With the array of educational and employment opportunities and the professors and programs offered, all personify service to its fullest extent. I am confident that Valparaiso has provided opportunities and connections to job markets where the service of others is a priority and I look forward to carrying these learned aspects of law as a calling into the professional world." – Haley Bownik, J.D. 2011, Attorney/Recruiter at Robert Half Legal
"I chose Valparaiso University Law School because of its commitment to prepare students to become outstanding members of the legal profession, well educated in the law, with a strong commitment to professional achievement and public service. Valparaiso's externship program is one of the best in the nation in placing students with rewarding and challenging legal experience while in actual practice settings supervised by attorneys around the nation. I have had the opportunity to assist both prosecutors and defense attorneys in virtually all phases of the criminal justice process, including criminal trials and appeals, in externships/internships provided for me through the law school's career planning services."– Ryan Rowan, J.D. 2011, Deputy Prosecutor at Porter County Prosecutor's Office
"If I could describe Valparaiso Law in one word, it would be 'personal.' Coming from a Big 10 University with a large student body, I knew immediately that I wanted to find a law school with a close-knit student body to assist me in conquering the challenges of pursuing my legal education. Rather than going to an institution where fellow classmates are unnecessarily competitive (we have all heard the stories of students ripping out pages in research books) and looking only to serve their own personal interests, I wanted to attend a school where classmates not only have a passion for studying the law but also have the innate desire to help others. I found just that at Valparaiso Law. Students here are more than friendly and will go out of their way to offer a helping hand. Personally, I feel this is extremely beneficial because we will all be colleagues in the legal world – a place where teamwork is essential." – Timothy Rigdon, J.D. 2011, Risk Manager at Transportation Solutions Enterprises
"My wife and I chose Valparaiso Law for the communal atmosphere both at the School and in the community. We were not disappointed. The relationships we formed have continued since graduation and will continue throughout our lives. Initially, I attended law school to broaden my education and opportunities, with the possibility of returning to my roots as a Geologist. However, I enjoyed law school so much that I spent two years investigating legal interests in Water and Environmental law. I clerked for a State Judge, for the Idaho Water Users Association, and I was an Environmental Consultant while attending law school. These experiences gave me a great basis on which to make a career decision. The education provided by the Law School, combined with my involvement in extracurricular activities and summer externships are a big reason for my success thus far at ExxonMobil. I daily use my education and experiences at Valparaiso Law in my current work. Specifically, the analytical, verbal communication, and writing skills the Law School helped me develop are invaluable to me. Given the choice again, I would choose Valparaiso University Law School." – Matthew Chandler, J.D. 2009, Geoscientist at ExxonMobil
"I chose Valparaiso because after just one visit, I was convinced the professors actually cared about you and were truly invested in your success. The personal attention each student receives at Valpo is the best part of the school. I am now practicing environmental law and complex litigation here in Indianapolis, and have reached out several times to my professors at Valpo for advice and support. They never disappoint." – Brianna Schroeder, J.D. 2009, Associate at Plews Shadley Racher & Braun LLP
"I chose Valparaiso University Law School because of the flexible dual-degree programs, small class sizes, and accessible faculty. I value my education from Valparaiso because it trained me to become an attorney through core classes and electives that provide practical experience. When interviewing for post-graduate positions, my trial advocacy classes and judicial externships distinguished me from graduates of other law schools. I further attribute my success in securing a job to the dedication of the faculty and their willingness to be mentors. Employers recognize the worth of a Valparaiso law graduate." – Abigail Rom, J.D. 2010, Clerk for the Indiana Supreme Court
"I chose Valparaiso University Law School because of its unique joint-degree programs – I wanted to study law, but also wanted to acquire a background in athletics. At Valpo, I was able to earn a Master's Degree in Sports Administration and J.D. in just four years, while gaining valuable experience working in a Division I Athletics Department. At the law school, rigorous academics and opportunities like being a class representative on the Student Bar Association and working in the community through the Mediation Clinic, honed my real-world leadership skills. During my time at Valparaiso, both at the law school and on the main campus, I seized every opportunity to learn, connect, and work cooperatively with others – skills I use every day in my professional life." – Lucille Wess, J.D. 2010, Assistant Director of Athletics for Compliance and Facilities at St. Francis University

Too Many Babies Being Delivered Early for No Good Reason: Report
At some U.S. hospitals, upwards of 40% of babies are born via elective early deliveries — that is, inducing labor or doing an early C-section before 39 weeks into the pregnancy for no medical reason.
These stats come courtesy of the Leapfrog Group — a coalition of health-benefit purchasers aiming to improve health-care safety, quality and affordability — which today put out a new report calling on expectant moms to request the rates of early elective delivery from hospitals in their area.
The group, along with Childbirth Connection (a not-for-profit focused on maternity-care quality) and the March of Dimes is trying to educate women about the importance of those last few weeks of pregnancy for the baby's development, and about the risks to both moms and babies if delivery is induced or scheduled early without a valid medical reason. Those might include a mother developing hypertension or her water breaking without labor beginning. Here's Childbirth Connection's review of the evidence on labor induction.
Leapfrog says early elective deliveries cost the U.S. health-care system almost $1 billion a year.
Some 773 hospitals voluntarily provided the group with information on early elective deliveries. Rates varied widely, even within a single community — rates in Boston ranged from almost zero to 27%, Leapfrog says. (The group's target rate this year is 5%, down from 12% last year.)
"Some of these data will be quite disturbing," said Leah Binder, Leapfrog's CEO, on a phone call with reporters. "The hospitals that reported have at least committed themselves to transparency." Many hospitals declined to report data.
As we wrote a while back, Utah's Intermountain Health tapped its electronic medical records to show its physicians data on the health consequences of early elective deliveries, including higher rates of intensive care and ventilator use. Intermountain also developed guidelines to discourage early elective deliveries and tracked cases that didn't adhere to the guidelines.
Within six months of starting the program, the rate of elective early delivery fell to less than 10% from 28%, and after six years "continues to be less than 3%," according to a study published in 2009.

Whitney Houston, Material
I know, I cannot leave this place for the memories, Things like they way they knew us all over town We used to walk the streets together, We could be seen, Past shops where people knew us, Yeah, people knew. I've got to choose between tomorrow and yesterday, Can't stop to think about my life, here today. Memories can hang you up and haunt you, All your life, you know, Get so you cannot stay, And yet cannot go. Hey, I could find out where you've gone today, I feel so unhappy, Streets seem so empty now, I want you, I want you with me, Maybe I'll find someone to get you Off my mind Take me away from here and leave it, leave it all behind Oh, Memories can hang you up and haunt you All your life you know Get so you cannot stay and yet cannot go

Green roofs redefine cooling plant
Researchers at Columbia University, US, have demonstrated that a layer of plants and earth can cut the rate of heat absorption through the roof of a building in summer by 84%.
Green roofs like the one pictured, belonging to New York electricity utility Con Edison, benefit more than just their owners, according to Stuart Gaffin. "They are a win-win on so many fronts," he said.
Perhaps the greatest overall benefit of green roofs comes in tackling the "urban heat island" effect, which Gaffin suggests is responsible for two-thirds of New York's localized warming over the last century. The conventional black rooftops that he calls "tar beaches" are major contributors to this phenomenon, absorbing and re-radiating the sun's energy as heat. "We're going to want to cool regional climate down, especially where people are living," Gaffin noted. "So we're going to have to confront the urban heat island effect."
While conventional roofs can reach temperatures of 80 °C at 1.00 p.m. even outside of high summer, green roofs always stay closer to ambient temperatures. "These [conventional roofs] are almost dangerously hot spaces," Gaffin told environmentalresearchweb. "That's a huge heat load that we can get rid of."
Plants in green roofs regulate their temperatures through evapotranspiration. "They evaporate copious amounts of water," Gaffin explained. "That takes a lot of energy and means it's a great way to stay cool." Eliminating extreme temperature cycles allows green roofs to be designed as relatively low maintenance options. They experience less thermal expansion and contraction stress, leading to predictions of at least a doubling of lifespan compared to black roofs.
The urban heat island effect is often used by critics of climate research to suggest that measured temperature rises don't indicate global warming. "Generally the climate research community avoids even using urban weather stations, or attempts to make corrections, because you know that's a warming bias," Gaffin explained.
The Columbia team is considering whether meteorological stations on green roofs might provide improved measurements for urban studies, however – although even this wouldn't enable them to assess climate change. The US National Weather Service recommends placing sensors at least 100 feet from paved or concrete surfaces. "One of the major restrictions says 'don't put them near black asphalt rooftops'," Gaffin explained. "When you put green roofs up, they are like meadows in the sky."
White is another roof colour used to fight both the urban heat island effect and global warming in general, by simply reflecting light back into space. This offers cheaper installation than green roofs, but needs special maintenance to prevent dirt reducing its effectiveness. Together, Gaffin expects green and white to replace black roofs. "I think the way we're going to cool things down in cities is going to be a combination of vegetation and brighter surfaces," Gaffin said. "There's going to be a contribution from both."

Google Apps Still Free, Just Harder to Find
- Jul 07, 2009 2:16 PM EST

Don't worry, Google Apps is still around, and it's still free. Despite reports to the contrary this morning ("They didn't move the cap down, they just killed the Standard product entirely. No mention of this change was made at a Google Apps press event held last month," says TechCrunch.), Google is making the program available for single users and small groups.
Locating it, however, takes a bit more digging than it used to. The company has buried it a bit, in favor of its premium counterpart, Google Apps Premier, which is available as a month-long free trial.

Toughening processes increase both the mechanical strength and thermal shock resistance - the two biggest factors that affect glassware performance in a foodservice operation. Mechanical strength is the ability to withstand impact and resist scratches, tiny abrasions, and flaws that weaken the glass. Even small nicks and scratches that you can't see can affect breakage. Thermal shock resistance is the ability to withstand sudden shifts in temperature. Glass is a poor conductor of heat. Every 1° change in temperature adds 25 lbs. per square inch of stress to a glass.So what's the difference between DurTuffing and tempering? Libbey's exclusive processes were developed not only to reduce breakage and chipping, but to also change how a glass breaks - an important safety consideration in foodservice operations. Fully tempered glass is unstable, and can shatter in an explosive manner. It breaks into smaller jagged pieces that can travel long distances, potentially contaminating ice bins or salad bars, shutting down production for a period of time. The need for product replacement due to breakage and chipping affects your bottom line. Libbey's toughening processes produce glassware that stands up to more servings which means more profits for you.Libbey's DuraTuff® treatment is a super strengthening thermal alterprocess for "pressed" tumblers and stemware. The process is performed only on the upper portion of the glass, increasing its resistance to thermal and mechanical shock. Treating just the upper third of the glass at a lower temperature than tempering puts less stress on the glass and positively affects how the glass breaks as well as improving the overall durability. This process produces some of the most durable glassware in the industry.

PhD student seeking solutions to child behavioural problems
UC health sciences PhD student seeking solutions to child behavioural problems
November 29, 2013
A University of Canterbury (UC) health sciences PhD student is investigating a different approach to finding solutions to child behavioural and emotional problems.
Studies have shown about five percent of New Zealand primary school children are anti-social and about 30 percent of seven-year-old children in Dunedin have been reported by their parents and their teachers with a high level of behavioural problems.
UC's Vanessa Loh is working with parents of young children with behaviour problems. She is using a new play-based approach which is different from the usual interventions, and may be of significant interest to some parents and the community.
``Rather than the traditional behavioural approaches, I am applying parent-child play relationships to achieve self-directed changes in child behaviour.
``There is a direct connection between how children feel and how they behave. When children feel good about themselves, they will act and behave in the same way.
``Theorists emphasise that by using play to allow a child to feel heard, understood, cared about and accepted, they become more social and mature in their behaviour, which ultimately initiates self-responsible and co-operative behaviour.
``Child behavioural problems are regarded as a form of expression of deeper emotions or thoughts, which sometimes involve the child's misunderstanding his or her parents' intentions.
``Therefore, parents are trained to be the `play therapist' for their children in order to identify the emotion and thought, and their meanings, by developing a therapeutic relationship with their children in home play sessions as well as in their daily living.
``Parents help their children to improve their self-worth, which ultimately initiates self-directed change and behavioural and emotional regulation in the children.
``My research project includes an individualised five-session family play-based programme. I have experience in counselling families with behavioural and emotional problems in their young children.''
Loh is studying under the supervision of UC's Associate Professor Kathleen Liberty and Associate Professor Karyn France.
Her project will be an experiential process for parents and children. Loh will provide a set of play session toys and a live demonstration of a child-centred play session with the child for each family.
To better support the families, some sessions can be carried out at the family home, if preferred. There is also a possibility of follow-up support. Parents who have concerns about the behavioural or emotional problems of their three to six year old children can contact Loh for more information about her research project.

Kenya to Offer Nine Oil and Gas Licenses by April, Minister Says
From Bloomberg
By Eduard Gismatullin
Kenya will offer as many as nine oil and gas exploration licenses in the first quarter, said Patrick Nyoike, an official at the Energy Ministry.
Chevron Corp. and Eni SpA have said they may bid for the licenses, Nyoike told reporters in Nairobi today. Some of the acreage was relinquished by explorers, and the blocks will be repackaged for the sale.
Tullow Oil Corp. and Africa Oil Corp. made Kenya's first oil discovery last March. The country has no proven oil reserves, though Exxon Mobil Corp. and Chevron found gas in the Anza Basin in 1976.

Kucinich: Bye-Bye Buckeye State?
Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a seven-term Democrat from Ohio, is considering a big move – across country to Washington state.
The thinking: It gives him a better chance of serving an eighth term. After last year's census showed population shifts, Ohio is losing two congressional seats while Washington is adding one.
Mr. Kucinich told a Washington state TV station this week that there may be good reason for him to move to the Evergreen State, where he could run for Congress in a newly created congressional district. Mr. Kucinich, an outspoken, antiwar liberal Democrat, will likely be targeted by Ohio Republicans who are redrawing the state's congressional districts.
"I intend to stay in Congress. My work is here. I just don't know what district I'll be running in," Mr. Kucinich told the station.
"There's a lot about Washington state that feels like Ohio," Mr. Kucinich said. But he also said: ""It's amazing…I love the mountains."
Mr. Kucinich's office did not immediately return a request for comment.
The congressman's office has done little this year to tamp down rumors that Mr. Kucinich is looking for a new home. Mr. Kucinich is reportedly interested Washington's yet-to-be drawn new congressional seat or the 1stDistrict. Politico reported.
The 1st District, which includes Seattle's northern suburbs, is currently represented by Rep. Jay Inslee, a Democrat who is expected to run for governor next year.

Lidstrom's approach in playoffs is same
Postseason must be experienced, not explained, veteran said
Wednesday, 04.11.2012 / 6:08 PM ET / News
By Bill Roose - DetroitRedWings.com

While it sometimes seems longer than a few decades since he experienced that first taste of playoff hockey, the messages that Lidstrom received while patrolling the blue line with such cagey veterans as the late Brad McCrimmon and Steve Chiasson, still rings true today.
"We played against Minnesota at the time and I didn't really know what to expect," Lidstrom said. "But my teammates were telling me it's different than the regular-season, the intensity will pick-up, the level of play will be better, mistakes can really cost you, so it's something that I've really learned from."
The Wings put on a remarkable comeback in that series with the North Stars. Down 3-1 in the series, Detroit stormed back with three straight victories to clinch the opening round. After dropping the first two games to Minnesota, Lidstrom helped the Wings to their first win of the 1991 playoffs, scoring his first career playoff goal – a first-period tally on the power play that beat Minnesota goalie Jon Casey. (Yes, the same Jon Casey who Steve Yzerman victimized five years later in a Game 7 double-overtime thriller at Joe Louis Arena.)
The 41-year-old defenseman, who will celebrate his 42nd birthday later this month, is eight games away from catching one of his former defensive partners for the NHL's lead in most playoff games played. Game 1 of the Western Conference quarterfinal series tonight in Nashville will be the 259th career playoff game for Lidstrom. Only Chris Chelios has played in more NHL postseason games than his former partner.
Still, Lidstrom's approach, and the way he has prepared both mentally and physically for the playoffs from that first playoff game 20 years ago to No. 259 tonight is relatively the same, the seven-time Norris Trophy winner said.
"It's a different kind of excitement," he said. "Now you know what to expect. Back then when you were young you didn't know what to expect. Your teammates were telling you all about it, but you didn't know what to expect. I'm still looking forward to it and I'm still looking forward to tonight, and now I know what to expect. That helps, yeah, that helps."
While he admits that the playoffs are saddled with a different kind of incitement, don't expect Lidstrom to waver from his daily routines, which he prefers to keep the same and simple.
"I'm approaching it just like I do in the regular-season," he said. "You're eating habits don't change and you're doing the same things that you're doing in the regular-season. Nothing really changes."
There are six players on the Wings' roster that are awaiting their Cup playoff debuts, though only forward Gustav Nyquist is expected to make his first postseason appearance in tonight's Game 1.
"You're going to have your ups and downs throughout the series," Lidstrom said. "You're going to have to try and stay even, not to get too hyped when you're playing well, and when you're not playing as well find a way to get out of it, so I think you have to keep your emotions intact, that's the most important thing. … But it's always fun when you hit the second season, as we call it."
Defenseman Kyle Quincey can appreciate the nervousness and jitters that a young, inexperienced player feels when he's thrust into his first playoff game. It happened to him five years ago when Brett Lebda went down with an injury in Game 5 of a first-round series with Calgary. Quincey was called-up from Griffins, who were in Manitoba for an AHL game.
"It was pretty nerve-racking for me playing in an elimination game right away in Calgary with the 'C of Red' and it was so loud and double-overtime," Quincey said. "I just remember (Johan) Franzen's unbelievable goal and just getting excited every time my name was called to go out there and giving it 110 percent and going a million miles per hour."
Now that he's back with the Wings, Quincey is thrilled at the opportunity to be back in the playoffs, after sitting out the postseason last spring with Colorado.
"The biggest thing for me is just getting another chance to win," he said. "Anytime you get a chance to play, I remember how exciting it was to be playing San Jose when I was in Colorado, it's just fun being a part of the dance. I'm here again and I'm so excited."

Every week when I sit down to write this column in my office, one of my prize possessions is hanging on the wall over my left shoulder – a framed NME magazine cover from 1981, autographed by Edwyn Collins, the lead singer of Scottish group Orange Juice. One of my other prize possessions is sitting in the 'O' section of a box of 7″ singles not far away. That would be "Blueboy," the third single release by the very same Orange Juice, Postcard Records 80-2. Actually, I have two copies of the 7″ sitting in the box. To explain the impact that single had on my life to this point cannot be measured. To a large degree, it is the reason why I am sitting here and writing this column here today, and precipitated the journey in music that has led to this point.
We all have those epochal moments where music changed our lives. To many in recent generations it may have been "Smells like Teen Spirit". To older folk it was more than likely The Beatles. For another group of people, it was late 70′s punk rock, something that indeed touched my life. But it was this Orange Juice single that really changed mine. It all started one early Sunday morning, listening to the local public radio station. And "Blueboy" came on. I'm not sure what it was, or why it happened, but that two minutes and 52 seconds grabbed my attention, and I never looked back. Sure I had bought records before, some of them even vaguely alternative, and I had been a fan of more than one group to that point. But that Orange Juice song, with its barreling rhythm guitar introduction and the slightly off key vocals, made me an instant devotee. And it was a trigger to a world of other music. Writers compared Edwyn & co. to the Velvet Underground, and so I set out to investigate Lou and John and Sterling and Mo. A snapshot of a lyric ("I wore my fringe like Roger McGuinn") meant I was on the hunt for The Byrds. Subway Sect, Wire, The Modern Lovers, The Go-Betweens, The Triffids – the paths to new music were numerous. I collected more Postcard Records, and the Aztec Camera singles led me to Love and other gems from late 60′s LA. Al Green, Chic… the list goes on. And of course Orange Juice became the first band who's records I obsessively collected – 7″, flexidiscs, 10″, 12″ with alternate versions, I had to have them all. A set of vinyl, incidentally, which has followed me around the world.
But it didn't just stop there. The Postcard label was the inspiration for me to be involved in music – I started on public radio (yes the same station mentioned above), began helping out musicians, started my own label, and ended up moving across the world to release music and sign bands. When I started a record label, my guiding light was Postcard – that's what I wanted to emulate. Later on I was privileged to release an EP of Postcard Records tracks, including an Orange Juice song – probably my most thrilling moment as a label owner. Though it wasnt just me. Talk to Creation founder Alan McGee, and he'll wax lyrical in the same way about the influence of Postcard, and how it was the germination for his forays into music too – so without that Scottish label maybe we wouldn't have had Oasis and My Bloody Valentine. The list of other labels influenced in the same way is endless- Heavenly, Sarah, Slumberland… And there is no doubting that Orange Juice opened up a world of Scottish music at the same time. If there was no Orange Juice, maybe there would be no Jesus & Mary Chain, no Primal Scream, no Teenage Fanclub. And more than one contemporary group, Franz Ferdinand and Belle and Sebastian being just a sampling, have gone on the record citing the lasting influence of the Glasgow four piece led by Edwyn Collins.
And so why I am writing this today? Well, for one thing to revel in the glory of music, and the profound lasting impact it can have on our lives. That is what some people in the biz sometimes forget. It IS about the music. And how much it can mean to people. You never know when that one song – albeit on radio or some crackly old LP or an MP3 – will suddenly grab someone's life and launch them on a journey just like mine. It is magical.
I'm also writing this because on Monday Domino Records released Coals to Newcastle – a lovingly curated and expansive box set of all Orange Juice's recordings. 6 CDs and 1 DVD of the finest in Glasgow post-punk. All the albums are there, from the sparkling debut You Can't Hide Your Love Forever to the final force majeure, The Orange Juice, remastered and ready to be discovered, or rediscovered. Do you believe in magic? Because this collection is full to the brim with it. And "Blueboy"? Indeed, that's in there too. What more can I say? Buy it. I will be.
