In the field of forensic science, there does come a time when the scientist should actually say "I don't care," according to Joseph P. Bono, one of the nation's most highly regarded forensic scientists.
When providing forensic science analysis for a criminal case, "you can't care about guilt or innocence," Bono said Thursday night during Cedar Crest College's Second Annual Forensic Science Leadership Lecture.
Bono, who once headed the U.S. Secret Service Laboratory in Washington, D.C., implored forensic science students that they, now more than ever, must be able to effectively communicate the science behind their conclusions when called upon to testify in court and must constantly question the scientific process they are taking in the lab to develop their conclusions.
Gone are the days, Bono said, of when a forensic scientist in court could justify testimony by saying the conclusions were reached "based on my training and experience," without fully explaining the science behind the conclusion.
"Scientists need to relay the lab knowledge in a cogent fashion in the courtroom to get the judge, jury and public to understand that we know what we're talking about."
Bono said lawyers in more recent years have become more knowledgeable about science, resulting in forensic scientists having to explain how they reached their conclusions in much greater detail.
Bono noted many improvements in forensic science following a 2009 report by the National Academy of Sciences that said there were an overwhelming number of labs without documented standards/thresholds.
"Things have gotten better because people are changing how they are working in labs; the quality of work has improved drastically," he said. "People are coming out into the field from places like Cedar Crest who have been taught to think critically, question, and say that we can do this better."
He said the progress must continue at a rapid pace. "What's good enough today won't be good enough five years from now. The bar will be raised even higher. Lawyers are learning more about forensic science; in turn the scientists need to learn more about the law."
While improvements have been made, Bono noted fields, such as hand-writing analysis, not having set standards and thresholds.
"I fear if scientific organizations don't set the standards, the government will, and I don't think we want to go there," he said.
Bono, a past-president of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, most recently worked as Laboratory Director of the U.S. Secret Service before retiring in 2007. During his 14 months heading that laboratory, he oversaw a number of fingerprint identity cases on threats made against President George W. Bush and other elected officials.
Bono focused much of his lecture on what traits make for a great leader.
"A leader never says follow me," he said. "What a leader should say is, let's sit down and talk about how we get from Point A to Point B together," and will channel the information in a way that inspires. "A leader works for the staff; the staff doesn't work for the leader."
Before entering the field of forensic science, Bono has originally wanted to pursue a law degree, but said "I just couldn't afford it." He soon became interested in forensic science and decided he wanted to pursue "the application of science to the law."
Bono landed his first job in forensic science with the St. Louis County Police Department in 1974. During his career, he would go on to direct forensic laboratories for the Drug Enforcement Administration, Naval Criminal Investigative Service and the Secret Service.
In 2006, he was awarded a Distinguished Service Award from the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. During his career, he has traveled around the world to make presentations on the forensic analysis of drugs, laboratory accreditation and certification. Today, he provides various consulting services.
The lecture was sponsored by Dr. Richard Saferstein, former Chief Scientist for the New Jersey State Police.

Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
This bag was smaller than expected. The zipper is also very cheap, it boke fairly fast. I would have perfered more pockes rather that a pit full of dance things. I just put things in smaller bags inside this one so they dont get lost. But overall it gets the job done.
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
I LOVE this bag!!! It's the perfect size for when you are traveling or going to sleepovers. I don't use it as my ballet bag, because it is a little too small to hold all of my ballet gear and stuff, but I use it for weekend trips to hotels, or sleepovers to my friend's house. It's so cute, and look great!

CLEVELAND -- The clubhouse was quiet, which told you one of two things.
Either the Detroit Tigers realized Tuesday that their season is just about over, or the fireworks after all those Cleveland home runs had left everyone a little hard of hearing. If Monday's loss dimmed the Tigers' hopes, Tuesday's 7-4 defeat had to start them thinking about next year.
Here's one question: What is it that the Indians know about Justin Verlander that the rest of baseball can't figure out?
The Indians and New York Yankees can think about magic numbers. Cleveland needs any combination of five wins or Tiger losses to clinch the American League Central; New York needs seven wins or Tiger losses to ice the wild card.
Those aren't the numbers that have Verlander thinking. These are: In five starts this year against the Indians, he's 1-3 with eight home run allowed and an 8.13 ERA; in 25 starts against everyone else, he's 16-3 with 10 home runs allowed and a 2.94 ERA.
"I don't know if it's something I'm doing, or something they're doing," Verlander said.
No one in the Tiger clubhouse had many answers Tuesday. Manager Jim Leyland's postgame press briefing lasted all of 20 seconds, although in that short time he managed to summarize both Verlander ("All his soft stuff was up"' and the Tiger hitters ("We should have had probably 10 runs"'.
He's right about the hitters, who at times looked like they had just realized their pennant hopes were history. But the real issue Tuesday was Verlander, and the real stunner was that he allowed four home runs.
Whatever else he does, Verlander doesn't give up home runs. He'd allowed just four since the All-Star break, just four in his last 81 innings. He said he can't remember ever giving up four in any game at any level.
"If I haven't in the big leagues, then I haven't," Verlander said.
He hasn't in the big leagues, that much is certain. His previous high was three, a year ago tonight in a game at Chicago that raised questions of whether Verlander was tiring near the end of a long season.
He doesn't seem tired now. He had given up three runs in four starts before Tuesday, and he was pitching as well as he ever had.
Then he left a breaking ball up in the zone in the second inning Tuesday, and Ryan Garko crushed it to left. An inning later, it was a changeup that Travis Hafner hit even harder to right-center. Then a fastball to Victor Martinez in the sixth, and another changeup to Franklyn Gutierrez in the same inning.
"All those pitches were up and over the plate," catcher Pudge Rodriguez said.
Verlander contended the pitch to Hafner wasn't that bad, although he second-guessed himself for throwing a 1-1 change.
"I went against my instincts," he said. "I wanted to go fastball in. It turned out he was thinking the same thing I shouldn't have been."
The Tigers have no reason to worry about Verlander. He's had a near-Cy Young season, just as Magglio Ordonez has had a near-MVP season and the team as a whole has had a near-playoff season.
But Verlander was left Tuesday with reasons to wonder, simply because he's not accustomed to giving up four home runs.
"Usually when I make mistakes, they're not hit that well," he said.
These were. The fireworks went off.
And the Tiger season moved closer to its official end.

by David Frum, The Daily Beast.
Mitt Romney has received much (deserved) criticism for his maladroit comments on the 9/11 embassy attacks.
But you know what? There is a critique to be made of the Obama administration's approach to Islamism, especially in Egypt – and it doesn't require anyone to hurl false charges that the president "sympathizes" with the killers of Americans.
The critique is this:
The Obama administration has staked its foreign policy on the assumption that the best way to deal with radical Islam is by engaging with radical Islam, thus splitting the men of violence from the men willing to try politics.
By this theory, the problem with radical Islam was its method (terrorism), not its goals (establishing Muslim Brotherhood style governments).
Some in the Obama orbit hoped that the entry into government would modulate and moderate Islamist goals. Others believed that even if the Islamists did not moderate, it was still preferable to live with them than to do what was necessary to resist them.
My friend Dean Godson of the British think tank Policy Exchange has a fascinating letter – it would make a brilliant book – about how this approach derives from the British experience in Northern Ireland. Under Tony Blair, the British government had followed a double Irish policy: a more effective approach to kill or capture IRA terrorists – combined with vigorous negotiations that offered IRA leaders willing to abjure violence the very role in government they had been fighting to seize.
If you notice a similarity to the Obama policy in Afghanistan, it's not a coincidence.

Growth Energy Says Keeping Renewable Fuel Standard Is Priority
Growth Energy, an ethanol trade group, said one of its priorities for 2012 will be persuading U.S. lawmakers to stick with a government mandate for the nation to use escalating amounts of the biofuel.
Under a law signed in 2007, U.S refiners are required to utilize 15 billion gallons of renewable fuels such as ethanol by 2015 and 36 billion gallons, including the cellulosic variety and biodiesel, by 2022.
The industry will make it a priority to counter critics who contend that the standard and ethanol, which is made mostly from corn in the U.S., lead to higher food prices, Growth Energy Chief Executive Tom Buis and President Jim Nussle said today on a conference call with reporters.
That will help identify arguments that may come up if there's any congressional consideration of doing away with the policy, they said.
Buis said he's already heard critics alluding to modifications of the so-called Renewable Fuels Standard. A tax credit that's helped the industry since Jimmy Carter was president is set to expire at the end of this month.
Denatured ethanol for January delivery rose 1.7 cents, or 0.8 percent, to settle at $2.157 a gallon on the Chicago Board of Trade. Futures have fallen 9.3 percent this year and are headed for the first yearly decline since 2008.
The Environmental Protection Agency granted a request from Growth Energy this year to boost the allowable amount of ethanol in gasoline to 15 percent from 10 percent, a measure that still hasn't been implemented at a majority of U.S. filling stations, Nussle said.
Poet LLC, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, is the largest U.S. ethanol producer, followed by Archer Daniels Midland Co. in Decatur, Illinois.

Instagram for BlackBerry Devices – Want to download it now?
Instagram photo sharing app has taken the world by storm It's one of the top-rated apps on iOS and people just flat out love it. But where is the BlackBerry love?
What makes Instagram so great? It's addicting, social, creative and just plain fun. Instagram for BlackBerry is something we'd like to see in the near future be it for BlackBerry devices now or a BlackBerry 10 Instagram for phones and tablets later on.
In the BlackBerry World these apps are fairly well know, but ask anyone on iOS or Android and they likely won't have a clue what you're talking about. Instagram is the way to go.
Rumors of Instagram heading to Android means good things for PlayBook owners as we might be able to sideload the app after it's release, but that is yet to be see.

Books on the Scotland Yard
The quality of these books on Scotland Yard is easily detected, says Arthur Herman
1. The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher
By Kate Sumerscale
Walker, 2008
Long ago Scottish monarchs visiting Whitehall Palace in London stayed in rooms overlooking a parcel of land known as Great Scotland Yard. When England's first police force made the same address its headquarters, a public entrance was built facing the vacant ground. In June 1842, the Criminal Investigation Department was set up, consisting of eight plainclothes detectives. Scotland Yard has been a byword for the detection of crime ever since. One of the original eight was Jonathan Whicher, the best detective of his age. In "The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher," Kate Sumerscale reconstructs his investigation into the baffling and brutal Road Hill House murder of a 4-year-old boy in 1860. She recounts how the case not only became the sensation of mid-Victorian London but also set the mold for fictional whodunits from Willkie Collins and Sherlock Holmes to "Law & Order" and "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation."
2. Forty Years of Scotland Yard
By Frederick Porter Wensley
Garden City, 1931
If a real-life Inspector Lestrade from the Sherlock Holmes stories had written his memoirs, they would read like Frederick Porter Wensley's recollections of serving as a Scotland Yard detective from the gaslight era (Wensley was one of the sleuths in the Jack the Ripper case) to the 1920s. The prose is riddled with the racial stereotypes of his time; this was long before political correctness. But as an authentic picture of London's underworld of thieves, fences ("lags" in the jargon of the day) and other sordid yet pathetic wrong-doers, the book has no equal.
3. The Complete History of Jack the Ripper
By Philip Sugden
Carroll & Graf, 1994
Who murdered five (possibly six) women in London's Whitechapel district from August until November 1888, terrorizing a great capital and coming to be known as Jack the Ripper? This was a serial murder case that Scotland Yard never solved. According to Philip Sugden, neither has anyone else -- despite claims by best-selling writers to have done just that. Sugden's painstaking "The Complete History of Jack the Ripper" leaves nothing to the imagination. He exposes the ugly forces that clouded the original investigation, including anti-Semitic hysteria, and the absurdity of many proposed "solutions" to the Ripper murders, from accusing members of the royal family to fingering the Freemasons, Lewis Carroll and Lord Randolph Churchill (as yet no one has accused Mohandas Gandhi, who was studying in London at the time). In its detailed analysis of the murders, this book is not for the squeamish. Even a reader of Ripper "casebooks" for the past 30 years gets nightmares perusing this one.
4. Gideon's Day
By J.J. Marric
Harper, 1955
John Creasey (1908-73) was the author of at least 600 mystery novels under 28 pseudonyms, but the books he wrote under the name J.J. Marric recounting the exploits of Inspector George Gideon were the best. This first novel in the series is a gritty look at the day-to-day labors of a Scotland Yard man in the postwar years. Back then, the Criminal Investigation Department was still housed in the imposing red and white granite New Scotland Yard building on the Embankment -- the granite had been quarried by convicts at Dartmoor Prison -- that the force occupied from 1890 to 1967. (Scotland Yard is now headquartered in an unremarkable London office tower.) When John Ford turned "Gideon's Day" into a movie in 1958, actor Jack Hawkins perfectly captured Gideon's quiet, firm but compassionate character as he struggles to hold the threads of a half-dozen cases in the course of a single day.
5. The Scotland Yard Files
By Alan Moss and Keith Skinner
National Archives Press, 2006
Former Chief Superintendent Alan Moss and crime writer Keith Skinner browsed through Scotland Yard's files in the British National Archives to pull together a list of the 12 most important "firsts" in criminal detection. They include the first "wanted" picture, the first use of a line-up, and the first convictions based on fingerprints (in 1902) and on ballistic evidence. No fan of "Cold Case" or "Criminal Minds" or any of the countless other television crime dramas should be
without a copy of this book or ignore the debt that every forensic police division owes to the pioneers at Scotland Yard.
Mr. Herman is the author, most recently, of "Gandhi and Churchill: The Epic Rivalry That Destroyed an Empire and Forged Our Age" (Bantam, 2008).

Coroner IDs man found dead in Erie hotel room Sunday
Police in Millcreek Township and Conneaut, Ohio, are looking at a pair of accused Erie bank robbers to see if they might be connected to recent bank robberies in their communities.
The Erie County Coroner's Office, meanwhile, is awaiting the results of toxicology testing on a 28-year-old man found dead in a city hotel on Sunday to determine how he died.
The death of the man, identified by Erie County Coroner Lyell Cook Tuesday as Kenneth Hubbert, launched an Erie police investigation Sunday that led them to Anthony J. Herrmann, 34, and Erin M. Anderson, 27.
Herrmann, no known address, was arraigned the next morning on charges of robbing the Erie Bank branch at West 10th and Peach streets on Thursday morning, and the First National Bank branch on East Grandview Boulevard on Thursday afternoon.
Anderson, of the 100 block of Hess Avenue, was charged in relation to the First National Bank robbery.
Herrmann and Anderson remained in the Erie County Prison on Tuesday.
Millcreek police consider Herrmann and Anderson two of their "prime suspects" in the robberies of the PNC Bank branch at Peach Street and West Gore Road Friday morning, and the Northwest Savings Bank branch at 850 Pittsburgh Ave. Saturday morning, Millcreek police Capt. Michael Tesore said Tuesday.
Police are continuing their investigation into the robberies, and no charges had been filed in the cases on Tuesday.
Police in Conneaut, Ohio, said Tuesday that they are looking at the Erie bank robbery suspects to see if there might be a connection to a robbery that occurred at a Huntington National Bank branch in the city late Thursday morning.
Two other bank robberies occurred in the region last week, both in Chautauqua County, N.Y.
Jamestown, N.Y., police Capt. Robert Samuelson said Tuesday that Herrmann and Anderson are not believed to be connected to the robbery of a First Niagara Bank branch in the city on Monday afternoon. The search for the bank robbery suspect continues.
Law enforcement in western New York are looking for a black man in his 50s who robbed a Jamestown Savings Bank branch in Falconer, N.Y., about two hours after the Jamestown robbery Monday.
Herrmann and Anderson were apprehended by Erie police a little more than six hours after Hubbert's body was found in a room at the Downtown Erie Hotel on West 18th Street on Sunday afternoon.
Investigators believe Herrmann or Anderson called police on Sunday and asked them to check on the welfare of a man staying at the Downtown Erie Hotel. The caller stated that the man at the hotel hadn't been seen since the previous day, Erie police Deputy Chief Randy Bowers said Monday.
After Hubbert's body was found, police said they learned the names of people who had visited him at the hotel. They included Herrmann and Anderson, who admitted their involvement in the Erie robberies after they were picked up and questioned, police said.
Erie police said Tuesday that Hubbert, whose last known address was on West Second Street in Erie, was acquainted with Herrmann and Anderson, and that he had a "peripheral" involvement in at least one of the city bank robberies.
Hubbert's autopsy was performed on Monday. The cause of his death is pending the results of toxicology testing, which could take a month or so to complete, Cook said.

Soil moisture
Evaporation, inflitration and recharge of the groundwater usually occur through the unsatured vadose zone which is the hydrological connection between the surface water and the groundwater. The root zone of the vegetation, the zone where vegetation takes-up water, is within the vadose zone and is therefore the interface between the vegetation and the hydrological system. The amount of water available in the vegetation controls plant transpiration and photosynthesis and as such CO2 sequestration. It is also directly linked to the ability of the soil to produce drainage after rainfall. The soil-vegetation-atmosphere transfer (SVAT) schemes used in meteorology and hydrology are designed to describe the basic evaporation processes at the surface, together with the water partitioning between vegetation transpiration, drainage, surface runoff and soil moisture variations.
In operational simulations a realistic initial value of the amount of water in the vadose zone must be provided to SVAT models. Time series of surface soil moisture allow to determine by means of assimilation the amount of water available in the vadose zone and that of the surface fluxes (evapotranspiration). When dealing with bare soil or sparsely covered vegetation, evaporation rate and runoff can be calculated from surface soil moisture time series. When dealing with vegetation covered surfaces, the amount of water in the vegetation (vegetation optical depth) has to be accounted for. The vegetation optical depth itself may be a very useful product to monitor the vegetation dynamics.
Ocean salinity
Knowledge of the distribution of salt in the global ocean and its annual and inter-annual variability are crucial in understanding the role of the ocean in the climate system. Ocean circulation is mainly driven by the water and heat flux through the atmosphere-ocean interface, but salinity is also fundamental in determining ocean density and hence thermohaline circulation. Ocean salinity is also linked to the oceanic carbon cycle, as it plays a part in establishing the chemical equilibrium, which in turn regulates the CO2 uptake and release. Therefore the assimilation of sea surface salinity measurements into global ocean bio-geo-chemical models could improve estimates of the absorption of CO2 by the oceans.
Observations of ice caps provide a prediction tool for the greenhouse effect since the sea ice extent responds early to altered climatic conditions. Accurate predictions of sea level rise require improved knowledge of the processes controlling the accumulation upon the ice sheets. The scarcity of accumulation rate observations, both spatially and temporally, has hindered the furthering of this understanding. Snow covers about 40 million km² of land in the Northern hemisphere during the winter season. The accumulation and depletion of snow is dynamically coupled with global hydrological and climatological processes. It is also a sensible indicator for climate change as the position of the southern boundary snow cover in the Northern hemisphere is likely to move northwards as a result of a sustained climate warming.

It can take several hours or even days to get results of diagnostic tests that might provide key information about the potential cause of a patient's infection. But in many cases, waiting that long to initiate treatment would be unwise or unpractical, so physicians often begin to do so based on an educated guess.
Improvements in diagnostic tests that reduce delays in getting test results have the potential to save lives and curb health costs, according to a report from the Infectious Diseases Society of America.

The Archive of Mesopotamian Archaeological Reports (AMAR) Collection is part of the Iraq Cultural Heritage Program (ICHP) Grant. The ICHP was established in 2008 through a grant from the US Embassy Baghdad. The Cultural Affairs Office at the Embassy oversees the project. International Relief and Development (IRD), a US-based non-governmental organization, implements the project for the Embassy.
The aim of the AMAR project is to digitize 500 archaeological site reports describing archaeological excavations both in Iraq and in the immediately surrounding areas (Turkey, Syria, Iran and the Gulf). It will include both out-of-copyright as well as in-copyright and in-print materials. This online collection is intended to provide basic sources of information to our colleagues in Iraq, and also other archaeologists working in the Middle East.
The project director, Elizabeth Stone, has directed archaeological excavations in Iraq, has been engaged in advanced training for Iraqi archaeologists and has attempted to document and stem the damage to Iraq's archaeological sites. Dr. Stone collaborated with the University Libraries at Stony Brook University to make the AMAR collection available online. Before developing this online collection, she contributed more than one hundred digitized volumes to the ETANA website.
The electronic files may only to be distributed from the AMAR website. Individuals, libraries, institutions, and others may download one complimentary copy for their own personal use. Links to the AMAR website are welcomed.

Johnson C. Smith University Partners with Google™ to Improve Student E-mail Service
Johnson C. Smith University (JCSU) announced plans to deploy "jCmail," a new student e-mail solution that will utilize the power of Google™ to give JCSU students the ability to work with more freedom and flexibility than ever before.
Beginning in the 2010 fall semester, all students will receive new e-mail addresses that will allow them to log into a specially designed version of Google's e-mail, calendar management, instant messaging and word processing tools. This will allow JCSU students to easily access their e-mail from anywhere they have an Internet connection by using their e-mail address and University password.
Students also will enjoy a big boost to their inboxes, as the new system allows for more than 140 times the space of their old inboxes.
"Over the last few semesters students have been asking us for more space for e-mail, but it is a never-ending cycle of us adding more servers and coming up short of students' requests for more space," said John Norris, director of information technology for JCSU. "The process is expensive and time-consuming for our staff. Through this partnership with Google, we can give students the space they want, and we can get out of that rat race."
Through Google, students will also get access to collaboration tools that will allow them to connect in ways never before possible. "Really it is a win-win. We can focus on what we need to focus on - serving our student customers - and we let Google do what it does best by providing storage and cloud-based technology," said Norris.
The University has partnered with Google for this service by signing up for Google Apps Education Edition™, a program that allows the University to provide Google's Internet-based connectivity and collaboration services for free. All services are hosted by Google and are available to users via any Internet-connected computer and many mobile devices. The Google Apps™ service includes the following tools:
- Gmail™ - provides gigabytes of e-mail storage, highly effective spam filtering and powerful search
- Google Calendar™ - allows easy coordination of work or class schedules, meetings and events online
- Google Talk™ - supports free PC-to-PC voice calls and instant messaging
- Google Docs™ - allows users to create and collaborate on documents and spreadsheets in real-time
This is just the latest technological initiative for the University, which has traditionally been a leader in connecting students with technology. In the early 21st century, the school became the first historically black university to loan each full-time student his/her own laptop computer, a program that continues to fulfill the institution's commitment to student success by allowing all full-time JCSU graduates to keep their laptops after graduation.Return to Latest News

I am sure this is not the first thread about the issue how MS handles the hotplug detect. I.e. when you switch off the receiver, displays get messed up. I used the trick to block pin 19 (hotplug). That kind of helps. However, I have now the issue that I get HDCP errors every so often. Does anyone know if pin 19 is involved with HDCP negotiation?
What is the protocol on pin 19? Just +5V or so or a real communication protocol?

Listen: Chris Colfer and Darren Criss, Haley Reinhart and Casey Abrams sing 'Cold' classics
Some more TV stars are putting their spin on classic holiday tunes this week. "American Idol" season 10 finalists Casey Abrams and Haley Reinhart have paired for "Baby It's Cold Outside" while "Glee" heartthrobs Darren Criss and Chris Colfer have dipped into "Let It Snow."
Abrams and Reinhart have posted a mere teaser of the jazz take, with the full song to become available on Nov. 21 (though Christmas radio stations may have their hands on it earlier?). Reinhart told EW the song comes in advance of her Interscope debut, with the release date TBA.
"I'm working my butt off right now," she said, "just getting in there with a bunch of different writers and producers every day."
Colfer and Criss' classic, meanwhile, is a return to a previous Christmas pairing: the two sang "Baby It's Cold Outside" on the "Glee" Christmas album released last year. This year's "Volume 2" set features the fast version of "Snow" along with 11 other Christmas tracks. Check out more news on the Nov. 15 release here.
"Glee" returned to TV this week.
Do you REALLY like Christmas? Look into HitFix's new 2011 Christmas albums rundown here.

Choices for College Success (2nd Edition)
Book by Stephen V. Piscitelli
Review by
Sybil L. Holloway
Center for Counseling and Human Development
Bloomsburg University
I was initially drawn to this book by its title and emphasis on choices because this is the empowering framework I use with my students. Next, I was attracted by the vast amount of material covered with an ongoing theme of personal wellness. Choices for College Success is a thorough user-friendly workbook full of practical and engaging exercises that accompany chapters packed with expert information and suggestions. Although an online supplement – MyStudentSuccessLab – is available, I did not have access to that portion so this review will focus only on the printed material in the book.
Piscitelli addresses a variety of success factors in this book. He goes beyond just the academic realm and branches out into the personal realm. "The Six Dimensional Wellness Model" incorporated throughout the chapters comes from the National Wellness Institute and includes Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Social, Occupational, and Spiritual dimensions of a person's life. Choices for College Success shows how to organize, prioritize, and set and achieve goals by making meaningful choices so that one can have balance among these various dimensions.
This book, an updated and expanded version of Piscitelli's Rhythms of College Success: A Journey of Discovery, Change, and Mastery, may be used in a classroom setting or at home. It is nicely structured for active engagement by the student reader, and includes a pre-assessment, content section with "Choices" activities, and a post-assessment for each chapter. Student voices are heard throughout the book as "Student Spotlight" stories and, at the end, the reader is asked to create his or her own "Student Spotlight" story. Instructor resources are provided.
Specific content covered includes Transitions, Balance, and Organization; Organizing Time, Space, and Money; Motivation and Goal Setting; Critical Thinking and Learning Preferences; Class-Time Listening and Note-Taking Skills; Out-of-Class Strategies for Notes Review and Textbook Reading; Test Preparation and Memory Skills; Test Performance; Information Literacy; The Many Faces of Civility; Treating Yourself with Respect; Financial Literacy; and Exploration of Majors and Careers. These chapter titles reflect the breadth of material and a holistic approach to wellness.
There are many strengths of this book – its friendly tone and helpful and thorough content as well as its many real-world examples (including that of the author who made a successful college major change), relevant quotations, and interactive practical exercises. There is also a useful Glossary at the end.
Choices for College Success was a joy to read and I highly recommend it to others in an advising role and to college students, especially those in their first year. This book contains lots of sound advice and practical strategies that will put students on a good path to success – if they make appropriate choices in the many aspects of their lives.

Analysis: Obama, Republicans shifting tax, budget fight into 2012
Sep 19, 2011, 5:11 a.m.
The U.S. budget deficit in 2011 is expected to be about $1.3 trillion. The national debt stands at $14.7 trillion.
Most fiscal experts agree that restructuring of social programs, such as the Medicare and Medicaid healthcare programs for the elderly and poor, is needed to reduce the deficit, along with basic tax reforms that bring in more revenues.
Democrats see unfairness in the present tax system that allows many of the well-to-do and large corporations to dodge taxes. Multibillionaire Buffett, for instance, has said that he pays a lower effective tax rate than many of his employees.
"The president's proposed 'Buffett rule' is right on target," said Representative Sander Levin, the top Democrat on the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee.
Two years ago, only 287,000 out of about 172 million U.S. taxpayers made 9.5 percent of all reported U.S. income, or nearly $727 billion. Of those highest earners, Internal Revenue Service data also showed that 1,470 owed no federal income taxes in 2009.
Today's top tax rate, 35 percent, is half what it was 30 years ago. The last time the tax code was thoroughly overhauled was in 1986, when President Ronald Reagan, a Republican, raised corporate taxes and cut the top tax rate.
"The very wealthy in our country have seen their incomes skyrocket while middle class income has stalled and poverty has risen. We need an approach to deficit reduction that is balanced and a tax system that fairly represents today's reality," Levin said in a statement.

MARTINSBURG - For the first time in several years, Monongalia County has not posted the lowest monthly unemployment rate of West Virginia's 55 counties, according to Workforce West Virginia.
Jefferson County recorded the lowest jobless rate in August.
The unemployment rate in Jefferson County last month was 5.1 percent, while in Monongalia County, it was 5.2 percent.
Ironically, Jefferson County's rate was an increase of three-tenths of 1 percent from the month before. Monongalia County's rate also increased. It went up by one-half of 1 percent.
Berkeley County's unemployment rate fell in August, and Morgan County's rate remained the same.
The total number of Jefferson County residents who were employed last month was down 70 to 23,550. The total number of county residents who were unemployed was up 80 to 1,260.
Jefferson County added 20 goods-producing jobs to its rolls in August for a total of 1,430, but lost 20 service-providing jobs for a total of 13,730.
Berkeley County's jobless rate dropped by three-tenths of 1 percent to 6.9 percent in August.
Total employment decreased by 170 to 42,700. Total unemployment also decreased by 170 to 3,150.
Two hundred goods-producing jobs were added in Berkeley County for a total of 2,380, while 100 service-providing jobs were lost for a total of 25,860.
The jobless rate in Morgan County remained at 7.3 percent in August.
There were 30 fewer county residents employed for a total of 6,710. The number of residents without jobs was unchanged at 530.
Although 30 jobs were added in Morgan County, the number of goods-producing and service-providing jobs was not released by Workforce West Virginia.
Beginning in January, WorkForce West Virginia stopped reporting those figures for Morgan and several other counties.
The decision not to reveal those figures was made by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics because of the requirements of the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act, a WorkForce West Virginia spokesperson said.
Under that act, "community employment statistics cannot be released in a form that permits respondents' identity to be reasonably inferred by either direct or indirect means," according to the spokesperson.
Boone County reported the highest unemployment rate at 11.9 percent, an increase of one-fifth of 1 percent.
Clay County recorded the greatest increase in unemployment, 1.4 percent, for a total of 11.5 percent.
Wirt County posted the greatest decrease in unemployment, 2.1 percent, for a total of 9.1 percent.
Twenty-nine counties saw increases in jobless rates, 23 had decreases and three were unchanged.
Statewide, the unemployment rate 7.2 percent, the same as the month before.
Rates are not seasonally adjusted.
All figures are preliminary.
The complete report is available at www.workforcewv.org/lmi.

Make a "Study Time" Door Hanger Activity
As school starts up for the year, honor your young scholar with this fun and simple craft project. It's fun for one kid to do, but even more delightful when you've got a whole group of kids. All you need are a few simple supplies, and a healthy dose of imagination!
What You Need:
- Craft foam cut into long doorhangers (available at most craft stores, or cut your own from 12" sheets of craft foam)
- Scissors
- Craft glue
- Stick-on craft foam shapes (i.e. stars, hearts, footballs, cars, etc.)
- Acrylic squeeze paint
- Permanent marker
- Optional: glue-on flat "jewels"
What You Do:
- Have your child start by writing a message in clear block letters on the foam door hanger with the permanent marker: something like "Quiet Please! I'm Studying," or "Student at Work." Make sure the letters are big enough to be from a few feet away.
- Spread out your craft foam forms and paint options on a work surface, and let your child go to town! Stars are a favorite for both boys and girls or, depending on your child's interests, choose among the wide array of foam shape - or even glittery "jewels" - available at most craft stores.
- To finish off the door hanger, invite your child to trace over the block letters with squeeze paint. The paint can also be used for dots and other decorations. Just be sure to give it plenty of time to dry; what's worse than the face of a kid who's just worked for an hour on a fabulous project, only to have a smudged mess!
- When your child has finished, he'll have a practical craft to use and enjoy throughout the whole school year and many more to come!

• In two studies, 145 psychiatric inpatients were each asked to say 100 numbers in random order, using the numbers 1 through 10. Compared with normative data, patients with personality disorders and neuroses were not impaired on the random number generation (RNG) task and patients with chronic alcoholism and primary affective disorder, depression, were significantly impaired, but not as much as those with schizophrenia and organic brain syndrome. The relationship between RNG performance and psychiatric diagnosis may reflect severity of disturbed cognitive functioning. The Randomization Index was sensitive to changes in symptoms during hospitalization. The RNG task provides a brief objective measure of those components of attention, cognitive capacity, and short-term memory that are affected by severity of psychopathology.

U.K. Agriculture's Greenhouse-Gas Emissions Decline 21%
Greenhouse-gas emissions from U.K. agriculture fell 21 percent between 1990 and 2009 as the national cattle and sheep herds shrank, the government said.
Greenhouse-gas emissions dropped to the carbon dioxide equivalent of 49.5 million metric tons, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said in a report today. Methane emissions slid 19 percent and nitrous oxide discharges dropped 23 percent, according to the report. Cattle, sheep, pigs and horses produce methane, and manure stored as a liquid for use as fertilizer produces the gas when decomposing.
Emissions fell as the number of dairy cows declined due to milk quotas and the beef-cow herd dwindled because of changes to subsidy schemes and a 2001 outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease, Defra said. The sheep herd also was hit by the illness, and the hog population declined on higher feed prices and disease issues, according to the report.
"Since 1990, the numbers of cattle and sheep in the U.K. have fallen significantly and this explains the majority of the fall in recorded" methane emissions, Defra said. "When manure is stored or treated as a liquid in a lagoon, pond or tank, it tends to decompose anaerobically and produce a significant quantity of" methane.
Nitrous Oxide
Agriculture generates about 37 percent of the country's methane emissions and 79 percent of nitrous-oxide discharges, Defra said. It's responsible for just 1 percent of carbon-dioxide emissions, according to the report.
Reduced U.K. greenhouse-gas emissions will be offset by increases in other countries from which importers purchase meat and milk, Defra said.
"While production has fallen in the U.K., which may result in lower total emissions, in the main domestic production, in particular meat and dairy products, has been replaced with imports," Defra said. "Any reduction of emissions in the U.K. will have been at the expense of increases overseas."
Growers may save money by adopting farming methods that reduce greenhouse gases, according to the report. Barriers to doing so include insufficient information, time and skills, the department said.
"Many farmers say they are aware of climate change and agree that something needs to be done to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions," Defra said. "But there is a gap between this opinion and the level of farmer understanding of GHGs from agriculture and of mitigation measures they could adopt."
Information will boost knowledge of practices associated with reducing greenhouse gases and may lead to more ways to cut down on methane and nitrous-oxide emissions, according to the report.
"Ensuring a greater understanding of GHG emissions is likely to be an important driver for change for some farmers," Defra said. "A greater understanding of the issue may also lead to more innovative and cost-effective solutions for reducing agricultural GHGs."

Trailer: Somewhere
The trailer for Sofia Coppola's new film Somewhere has been doing the round of the internets, and copping surprisingly mixed reviews. There seems to be a clear divide between those who find it swoony and intriguing, and those who yawn, wondering when Coppola will stop with the poor little rich girl navel gazing and take a new tack.
What do you make of it?
I'm definitely in the former camp, and moreover I think its quite common for filmmakers to riff on similar themes and do so successfully (does anyone deride Woody Allen? Actually, don't answer that!). Plus Coppola has the aesthetic chops to pull off something visually (and aurally) wonderful, as her entire filmography attests. But can we at least all agree that it's perfectly cast? Stephen Dorff lends a nice reflexivity (where did his career go?) to the Hollywood star Johnny Marco, with the saucer-eyed Elle Fanning as his young daughter, Cleo.
Here's the synopsis:
Johnny Marco is a bad-boy A-list actor stumbling through a life of excess while living at Chateau Marmont Hotel. Cocooned in this artificial world, Johnny has lost all sense of his true self. Until, that is, his 11-year-old daughter Cleo shows up and begins to anchor him. Johnny's fragile connection to real life slowly revives in her presence. So when the time comes for Cleo to leave, his sense of loss is palpable, but the gift of hope she has also brought him leads to a beautiful denouement.
Somewhere looks set to debut at the Venice Film Festival in September ahead of its US release on December 22.
Australian release date 26 December 2010.

Henry Morris
From Conservapedia
Henry Morris 1918 to February 26, 2006. President and founder of ICR from 1970 until 1995, and served as President emeritus until his death. Dr. Morris was the intellectual father of the modern creation science movement, and he also first coined the term "creation science".[1] A strong proponent of Young Earth Creationism, Morris believed the creation account of the Bible was literally true and scientific inquiry would support his assertions. He was a scientist himself, having graduated from Rice University in 1939 and that earned a master's degree and a Ph.D. in hydraulic engineering from the University of Minnesota. He was an author of many books against evolution and supporting creationism.Ken Ham, President of Answers in Genesis said,
"All of us in the modern creationism movement today would say we stand on his shoulders."

SANTA CLARITA - Coroner's investigators are waiting for a DNA sample to arrive from Guatemala before they can confirm the identity of a woman whose body was found dumped at the side of San Francisquito Canyon Road six months ago, a coroner's spokesman said.
In May, investigators with the Los Angeles County Coroner's Department said they found a man they believe is the woman's nephew and that they were waiting for dental records to confirm her identity.
Five months later, they're still waiting for those records and for the chance to confirm the identity of "Jane Doe 23," aged about 30 years old.
On Aug. 22, they spoke to officials at the Guatemalan consulate in Los Angeles who have been in touch with the woman's family in Guatemala, Lt. Craig Henry told The Signal.
"We were waiting for DNA via the Guatemalan consulate," he said. "We have persons who may be the parents who can supply us with DNA."
On Sept. 25, consulate staff assured investigators that the family was "proceeding" with requests for a DNA sample, he said.
"Via the consulate, we know they've (been) in contact with the family," he said.
Also in May, investigators learned of the existence of dental records for work the woman had done in the United States. They're hoping to give her a name once they confirm her identity through either DNA or dental records.
"It's a waiting game," Henry said.
The woman's body was found on the side of San Francisquito Canyon Road April 10 by Los Angeles Department of Water and Power workers.
Two weeks into the investigation, Detective Rich Tomlin of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Homicide Bureau said autopsy results indicate she does not appear to be the victim of foul play.
An email sent to staff at the consulate Monday was not answered.

MIAMI BEACH — A vestige of the drug wars that made Miami notorious for violence and smuggling in the 1980s is being razed, with its new owners anxiously sifting through the wreckage for any last traces of the reign of Pablo Escobar.
Demolition began Tuesday on a pink waterfront mansion in Miami Beach that the Colombian drug lord owned before the U.S. government seized it in 1987. Escobar died in a shootout with Colombian National Police in 1993.
"I'm very excited to see the house of the devil disappearing right before our eyes," said the property's new owner, Christian de Berdouare, who owns the Chicken Kitchen fast-food chain.

Judging by my mail, no one beats me in being despised by certain women in Jackson.
Women who attend money-making parties for cash "gifting" groups, a craze evidently sweeping Jackson, hate my guts with special fervor.
Dozens rose up in outrage last week because I did them the favor of warning that gifting is illegal.
"That's just your stupid opinion," many countered. "You're wrong."
This happened so many times I am compelled to follow up with more opinions on the legality of cash gifting.
Jackson County Prosecutor Hank Zavislak: "It is definitely illegal. It is a major scam."
Jackson County Sheriff Dan Heyns: "We have gotten numerous reports about these cash gifting schemes, or whatever you want to call them. They're pyramid schemes. By all indications, these things are illegal in Michigan. We are looking into this and investigating this."
Jackson County Chief Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Mark Blumer: "The people who are promoting these parties and putting them on are violating the law."
Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox issued a consumer alert in October which said "cash gifting schemes are illegal in Michigan."
Cox's alert also said: "Cash gifting schemes are the quintessential example of a pyramid scheme. ... The problem is that eventually the pool of new participants runs out, the pyramid collapses, and very few participants actually receive any money."
Members pay anything from $100 to $5,000 to join gifting circles around Jackson. New recruits are told it is perfectly legal, which means they are snookered.
True believers claim cash gifting does good work for charity and society, a boasting that creates confusion with legitimate charity groups.
Karen Dunigan of Jackson has a fantastic club called 100+ Women Who Care. Members meet four times a year to give $100 each to a local charity. They manage to help charity without trying to make money off each other.
Lately people keep asking if 100+ Women Who Care is a pyramid, Dunigan said. She and her members deserve better than to be confused with a scam.
If anyone wants to give money to charity, they ought to give it to charity.
If anyone wants to make money by cash gifting, they ought to stop pretending it's a favor to society.
Oh, oh. I think I am asking for more hate mail.
Good thing I am married because my chance of getting a date around here would be about zero right now.

Some of the Devils watched at least part of the NHL's Winter Classic in Chicago on Thursday. For Jay Pandolfo, a big baseball fan, seeing the game played at Wrigley Field was interesting.
"Just having it at Wrigley Field was pretty cool," Pandolfo said.
Pandolfo said he'd like to play in an outdoor game.
"It'd be fun. I'm sure it would be enjoyable for everyone," he said.
Ideally, it would be in Fenway Park.
"That'd be pretty cool, with me being from Boston," he said. "I don't think Boston and New Jersey will happen at Fenway Park. The chances of that are zero."
Brian Gionta, from Rochester, N.Y., would've liked to play in last year's game in Buffalo.
"I would've had to buy too many tickets," he said. "It's always a unique experience, especially having it in an historic place like (Wrigley). I'm not sure what the fan experience was, but for TV it was good."
Brent Sutter's son, Merrick, actually attended the game.
"That was good. It was pretty neat to see," coach Sutter said. "There was a lot of excitement around the city there. My son was at the game. He said it was unbelievable. The way they had it done up was pretty neat with the fake brick around the boards and showing a lot of the old Wrigley Field type stuff."
Colin White skated for the first time on his own yesterday morning, but the injured defenseman did not take part in the team's morning skate.
"I'm feeling better. I had a couple of days to rest," White said. "There isn't any (timetable). It doesn't seem to be anything major. I don't want it to drag on. I want to get back as soon as possible. Obviously I'm not there yet."
White would not reveal any details about his injury (upper body), which occurred during the game against the Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Sutter said he did not expect White to be ready to face the Canadiens.
"No. He hadn't played and skated since the last game we played in New York," Sutter said. "Even if he was close to being capable of playing, he was going to need a practice or two."
"I don't know. It's still a day-to-day thing," Sutter said.
Andy Greene played his eighth straight game since returning from a broken right hand.
"I feel I'm totally back in game shape," Greene said. "I feel good. The first few games, I wasn't getting out of position, but I was playing too cautiously."
Asked if he felt Greene was back in top form, Sutter said: "Close. I think every game he's played, he's gotten better. The other night, outside of our goaltender, he may have been the next best player. He played really well and he has to continue to do so. We need Greener to be at his best for us to be successful."
The Devils host the Ottawa Senators Sunday at 5 p.m. The team will have its annual coat drive.

Posts Tagged '700 Club'
No, Pat Robertson Does Not…
So, apparently, the 'Science Guy' is all excited about Pat Robertson's latest blatherings (though why anyone is loony enough to think Pat Robertson a hero of any sort is a mystery to me). This led Mr Science, for whatever reason, to tweet his joy, suggesting Robertson's followers should join him. Naturally the HuffPo wet itself in delight and retweeted the Science person's misguided opinion.
I replied to both that the fact is, Pat Robertson's 'followers' should be following Jesus, not him.
And now, the wry twist. It seems that Pat Robertson has followers who blindly align themselves to whatever views he holds, as the penultimate tweet in the series from the screenshot below shows:
If Mr Baugh is right, then Pat Robertson's 'followers' are worse off than I thought and in fact they should be much more concerned with their souls than with creationism or anything else.
Ok, Let's Hear The Derision Reserved for Pat Robertson Leveled at Oliver Stone
If Pat Robertson got on his 700 Club and made the claims that Oliver Stone has, about Sandy being 'punishment' for something or other, people everywhere would be on him like white on rice. So where's the derision of Oliver Stone? Or are Hollywood sorts exempt?
Ever-honest director and author Oliver Stone stopped by HuffPost Live on Tuesday to discuss Barack Obama's presidency, climate change and his new book and documentary series, "The Untold History of the United States." Stone is an equal opportunity critic, arguing that neither Obama nor Mitt Romney tackled climate change in a substantive way. "I was a little disappointed at the third debate when neither of them talked about climate control and the nature of the situation on Earth," Stone said. "I think there's kind of a weird statement coming right after … this is a punishment … Mother Nature cannot be ignored. That's all I thought about."
Oliver Stone, Hollywood's own Pat Robertson. Let the snark commence. (But I won't hold my breath).
Pat Robertson Wants Pot Treated Like Booze
Pat Robertson, the televangelist behind Christian Broadcasting Network's "The 700 Club," doubled down on an opinion he had expressed on his show for years now. "I really believe we should treat marijuana the way we treat beverage alcohol," Robertson told the Times. "I've never used marijuana and I don't intend to, but it's just one of those things that I think: this war on drugs just hasn't succeeded."
You know, I've always thought people who watched Pat Robertson and his 666 club were on something. They have to be don't they. And he has to be smokin' a fattie (is that the way the kids say it? All the potheads I know are in jail so I can't ask them) – in spite of his claims to the contrary- to say the worse-than-moronic stupidity he spouts.
It all makes sense now- Pat's a long time pot-head and now he's coming 'out of the pot-closet'. That or he's sold out to culture. Or both.
Pat, Get a Life
Pat Robertson is being the buffoon again, calling the Twilight films 'demonic' and 'evil'. No, Pat, they aren't that- they aren't good enough to be that. They're much worse: they're badly acted!
But that doesn't mean the devil is in them Pat- and you know why? Because they're FICTIONAL. They're made up. They aren't real beings. They're pretend!
Pat, shouldn't you be more concerned with what's real than what's made up? Why don't you ever opine about things that matter like the oppression and murder of the people in Syria or the mistreatment of the Palestinians? Why don't you talk about American poverty?
In other words, Pat, why are you a buffoon?
Oh wait, I remember now- you don't care about people. You only care about showmanship and the media spotlight. Got ya.
