September 3 – February 5, 2012
The High has partnered with The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia (MOCA GA) to host an exhibition highlighting selected paintings and drawings from the permanent collection of MOCA GA. This exhibition will comprise approximately 40 paintings and drawing by Georgia artists, all from the collection of MOCA GA. Featured artists will include Larry Jens Anderson, Don Cooper, Herbert Creecy, Kojo Griffin, Medford Johnston, Katherine Mitchell, Larry Walker and Rocio Rodriguez. This exhibition continues the collaboration between the High and MOCA GA that began with a transfer of 21 works of art by Georgia artists from the High's collection to MOCA GA in September 2010. Exhibition Organization and SupportThis exhibition is organized by the High Museum of Art and The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia. The exhibition is curated by Annette Cone-Skelton, director of MOCA GA, and Michael Rooks, the High's Wieland Family Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art.
The Museum of Contemporary Art of GeorgiaMOCA GA was founded in 2000 out of recognition of the relative void in opportunities across Georgia to learn about and view contemporary art, and specifically contemporary art from Georgia artists. The museum opened its doors to the public in February 2002. The mission of MOCA GA is to collect and archive significant contemporary works by artists from the state of Georgia. To place our artists in a global context, the museum's exhibitions include artists from around the world in addition to Georgia artists. The museum's programs promote the visual arts by creating a forum for active exchange between artists and the community. MOCA GA fulfills its mission through an active exhibition schedule, a growing permanent collection and the Education/Resource Center, which houses the museum's historical archive collection. Since its opening MOCA GA has presented 72 solo and group exhibitions focused on excellence of work, explorations of media and issues in contemporary society.

: Supercurls anyone?
So Jas had that ropecurl thread and it got me thinking. . . I think it was Neleke who posted that occasionally she gets supercurls, where one curl has made off with another (sometimes two others
) and they've swirled into this ginormous cyclone of curlage. I get them too when I wake up in the morning and usually just pick them apart carefully. But I was wondering how many more of us get supercurls. For visual reference, here's a picture of the supercurl that I snapped this morning in my third day hair. (Excuse my bra peaking through a little. I was sort of bending forward.) This is a big one, even for me. It's roughly the circumference of the end of a flashlight.

Target's new baby section takes aim at specialty shops' service
By Jessica Wohl
(Reuters) - Target Corp is testing a baby section with trained staff at 10 Illinois stores in a push to gain a bigger share of the shrinking but highly competitive market for baby gear.
The U.S. birthrate has declined in recent years, intensifying competition among mass merchants such as Target, specialty shops led by Toys R Us Inc's Babies R Us and Bed Bath & Beyond Inc's buybuy BABY, and websites including Amazon.com Inc and its diapers.com site.
For Target, trying to do a better job satisfying new parents could lead to higher sales over time. Households with children spend about 20 percent more each year at Target than patrons without children, said Trish Adams, Target's senior vice president of merchandising.
"We kind of are a store for families, and particularly young families, and we just think there is further opportunity to capture a larger share of their wallet," she said.
The Target test stores feature the same products, but the redesigned baby areas will operate a bit more like specialty shops, with trained staff members assisting shoppers. Other changes could come as Target does more research, Adams said.
One reason for the stiff competition is that the U.S. birthrate has declined. There were 63.2 births per 1,000 women in 2012, in line with 2011 and down from 69.3 births per 1,000 women in 2007, according to Centers for Disease Control. The decline in fertility that began in 2008 is closely linked to the weakened economy, the Pew Research Center said in 2011.
Still, people do not tend to trade down when buying for babies, and the rise of dual-income households and having children later in life means that parents have more disposable income for those purchases, said Pat Conroy, vice chairman and head of the consumer products group at consulting firm Deloitte.
Companies have brought out everything from designer diapers and easier-to-feed foods to sportier strollers and baby monitors with color video screens as they try to push parents to spend more. Continued...

Google Finally Speaks On the Record About Metafilter
On TLDR episode #27, we talked to Matt Haughey, the owner of Metafilter, about how his site saw a sudden traffic drop in November, 2012. He attributed the drop to a change in Google's algorithm, something we essentially couldn't confirm because Google refused to comment. Danny Sullivan, who also featured in our story, reports that yesterday, Google's search-swami Matt Cutts confirmed that Metafilter was indeed hit by a change in the algorithm.
Cutts revealed this yesterday at the Seattle Search Marketing Expo, but frustratingly wouldn't comment on what algorithm tweak caused the traffic change or how Metafilter is running afoul of the algorithm, though he did say he was working directly with Metafilter to bring the site up in the search results*. So that's great for Metafilter, but if you're another site that was affected by the same tweak that caused Metafilter's site to drop off the front page of Google, you're out of luck. Still, it's a better result than we would have imagined a few weeks ago, when Matt Haughey said he wasn't really getting any help at all from Google.
*CORRECTION: The assertion that Google was working directly with Metafilter and Matt Haughey to resolve the issue was based on Danny Sullivan's article on Sarchengineland. Matt Haughey has since refuted that assertion, and Sullivan has since updated the article to reflect that.
@rustybrick All I got was vague "maybe someday things might get better" kind of messaging. No change in traffic. No suggested changes.

With experimental theatre and live art from around the globe, the biannual Spill festival of performance never fails to surprise. Don't be astonished to find yourself attending something akin to a satanic black mass around a pool of sludge. Taking its title from the writings of Aleister Crowley, the occultist and founder of the Thelemite faith who argued, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole law", Harminder Judge's solo piece is a meditation on desire, divinity and the power of magic.
This show is a reminder of the role that ritual and ceremonial magic continue to play in popular culture, from the rock concert to Olympic ceremonies, and it makes much use of contemporary instruments of enchantment: dry ice and the laser. For its 21st-century audience, living with our coveted gadgets and gizmos in a largely secular society, it might bring to mind Arthur C Clarke's Third Law: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." We all yearn for a little black magic in our lives.
There is a sense in which we are going to bear witness and not just to watch, but a sardonic comedy lurks beneath the seriousness here. If the pool's dark goop reminds us of TV shows in which parents are gunked by their delighted offspring, that is no bad thing. There is also an inherent vulgar showmanship mixed in with the ritual, as the near-naked man slowly disappears beneath the pool of slime and is reborn, caught in a laser hexagram while a pounding soundscape of rare Crowley recordings are combined with psychedelic rock and somebody shouting "Hail Satan". It is not silly at all, but a slyly powerful reminder that even in the age of accumulation we can still feel empty enough to succumb to magic.

New Scoreboard Graces O'Shields-Stevenson Stadium
August 31, 2012
Fans coming to O'Shields-Stevenson Stadium on Saturday, September 8 for the Wolves home opener against Indiana (PA) will set their eyes on a new wireless scoreboard. The board was furnished by Varsity Scoreboards and is 50% larger than the old scoreboard. The old Nevco scoreboard graced the field for at least 45 years.
"A new scoreboard was desperately needed," stated Athletic Director Ruffin Bell and echoed by Head Football Coach Ken Lockard. "We are continuously trying to upgrade the facilities."
Several features on the old board no longer worked and it was getting more difficult year after year to find replacement parts. New features include down and distance, time outs remaining, and ball on displays as well as a possession indicator.
The removal of the old scoreboard and installation of the new board was done by KC Sign Inc.
Kick-off for the home opener is slated for 1:00 pm.

Iliff to Launch New Justice and Peace Certificate Program
November 26, 2012
— Justice and Peace Studies Offers Unique Course Options —
DENVER – Interest in Justice and Peace Studies continues to grow among students in the United States and around the world. To respond to this global interest, The Iliff School of Theology is launching a new certificate in this area of study and practice.
Iliff's certificate in Justice & Peace Studies offers an interdisciplinary program that draws from theology, ethics, philosophy, and the social sciences with an emphasis on three related content areas: food justice, the environment, and globalization. Courses cover theories, methods and concrete issues of Justice & Peace such as peace-building, war, violence, politics, economics, and criminal justice, as well as aspects of international development, public policy processes, and the role of social change movements. Students take four justice & peace-related courses to complete the certificate.
"By providing leadership and development opportunities for learning inside and outside of the classroom, Iliff offers students a program rich in the ideals of justice, peace and social change. The certificate provides opportunities to learn on and off campus, as well as online," said Edward Antonio, director of Justice & Peace Programs and the Dean of Diversities, Iliff. "Students will link theory to action in their studies by engaging a wide range of complex issues on eating and food, 'ethical analysis and advocacy,' food scarcities, 'women, war and religion,' environmental justice, and globalization."
In addition, the Justice and Peace Program will include several global immersion trips that will expand students' understanding of the complexities of justice and peace issues. This includes a trip to Zimbabwe and South Africa in the Fall of 2013.
The certificate will be available starting Jan. 2013. Prospective students interested in enriching their understanding through the certificate program can find additional information at http://www.iliff.edu/index/learn/degrees-certificates/.
The Iliff School of Theology is a graduate theological school related to the United Methodist Church, serving more than 38 different faith traditions. Founded in 1892, the school provides several degree programs, including a Joint Ph.D. Program with the University of Denver.

A Break in Yahoo's China Clouds?
Now that he has taken over as chief executive officer of the company he co-founded, Jerry Yang has plenty of problems to fix. The new CEO of Yahoo! (YHOO) isn't going to find any quick Google-(GOOG)slayer. Fortunately for Yang, though, Yahoo might soon get a bit of good news from China, one battleground that has up till now been almost as much trouble as Google.
In 2005, Yahoo took a 40% stake in Alibaba.com and, although the Chinese Internet company won't comment on rumors about an initial public offering, most observers believe that a listing is imminent. According to buzz in the market, the IPO won't be for the whole company but just the most successful pieces, first of which is Alibaba's business-to-business marketplace (also called Alibaba).
If the IPO does take place it could rival that of Baidu.com (BIDU), the Chinese search engine that went public on Nasdaq in August, 2005, and has enjoyed a 34% increase in its stock price since then.
An Alibaba IPO would provide a welcome Chinese break for Yang, who has helped steer Yahoo through what has been up to now a pretty dismal run in the Middle Kingdom. The company has not only suffered from a lackluster Chinese portal and an also-ran Chinese language search engine but has lost a high-profile lawsuit brought by international record companies for providing links to Web sites carrying unauthorized versions of songs.
Low-Profile Successes
Yahoo China has also gone through many top managers, with an embarrassing departure last year of its president after barely a month on the job. And Yahoo has been a target for human rights campaigners alleging that the company has been complicit in enabling the Chinese government to imprison dissidents who used Yahoo e-mail accounts to circulate information embarrassing to Beijing.
Despite these problems, Alibaba does run some very successful, albeit lower profile, businesses. They don't generate the same type of headlines, but subsidiaries like Alibaba.com have helped Alibaba become the dominant business-to-business company in China.
Alibaba.com's revenue comes largely from service fees that it charges customers. They're mostly small and mid-sized businesses, either based in China, or based overseas and involved in trade with Chinese partners. These Alibaba users pay anywhere from $300 for a no-frills package to $10,000 for top-of-the-line service. Customers paying that top price get priority status on Alibaba search results as well as training from Alibaba staff on how to do online marketing, and help in producing online videos.
The business-to-business operation has many fans among people who follow the industry. "It's running well," says Liu Bin, an analyst in Beijing with consulting firm BDA China. "China has a large number of small and mid-sized enterprises, so they can continue to see sustainable growth. In the long term, it's a profitable business."
A Black Eye to eBay
It has to be, since that business-to-business operation is what's subsidizing many of Alibaba's other ventures. For instance, the company operates the most popular consumer-to-consumer site in China, Taobao.com, which commands about 65% of the market for such transactions. The success of Taobao forced eBay (EBAY) to retreat from the Chinese market.
Although eBay's Meg Whitman had pledged to invest tens of millions of dollars in China to develop the company's business there, eBay was a distant No. 2 in the market by the time last year it announced it was changing strategies and forming a joint venture with Tom Online, controlled by Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing.
Unfortunately for Alibaba chairman and founder Jack Ma, though, Alibaba has yet to figure out a way to translate Taobao's popularity into revenues: The site is free and Ma, after an unsuccessful attempt to launch some paid services last year, has pledged to avoid any charges until next year at the earliest.
Liu of BDA is hopeful that Ma will figure out a way to start generating some revenue from Taobao. "One problem has been that this generation of Chinese Internet users is not used to paying," he says. However, adds Liu, "They will change. They will form habits to pay for services."
Censorship Issues Remain
The remaining question mark is Yahoo China. Although Ma has said that he intends to become more competitive against Baidu and Google's Chinese service, the company remains a distant third in the search market, with about 5% of the market compared to about 60% for Baidu and 20% for Google. Yahoo China's brand-name recognition "is much lower than its two major rivals," says Liu. "The company has spent a lot promoting its search business but it only has had limited improvement."
In the meantime the headaches continue to mount. Yahoo's willingness to follow Beijing's policies regarding Internet censorship have led to a lawsuit filed in April by a human rights group, World Organization for Human Rights USA. A month later, Shi Tao, the Chinese reporter jailed for 10 years after Yahoo provided the Chinese government with information about his Yahoo! e-mail account, sued Yahoo, and Alibaba as well.
In other legal battles there have been mixed results. In December, Yahoo China won the unfair competition lawsuit it brought against Qihoo.com, operated by former Yahoo China general manager Zhou Hongyi, which had been targeting Yahoo's toolbar as malware—short for malignant software, which is similar to spyware.
But in April the company lost a suit in Chinese court brought by international recording companies such as EMI (EMI) that alleged Yahoo China helped facilitate copyright infringement by providing the links to Web sites carrying unauthorized songs. Rival Baidu had successfully defended itself against a similar lawsuit. Yahoo is appealing the ruling. A successful IPO of Alibaba.com would give Yahoo and Yang a welcome boost.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I find this to be useful info. I knew someone in this situation and they wouldn't leave their pet behind. I was helping her look for a shelter and found that only one would take the pet but its not in the shelter, it would be fostered in a home.
In case anyone is interested- (women's) shelters that accept pets
I hope I am posting in the right area, but this is a topic that I have been reading on and it's scary and heart breaking...
There are women in abusive situations that sometimes do not leave because of a loved pet. Whether they have nowhere to go, or they are afraid to go due to the abuser threatening the well being of the animal, many women do not leave these relationships sometimes due to this. Thankfully, shelters are popping up everywhere that take in women and families of domestic violence AND their pets. It's so sad because too many times, these situations can end in tragedy. Just put a couple of links to shelters that need help to keep this service going. I am not a representative, I just feel this is an overlooked issue. A pet is more of a family member, and many people do not want to leave their family in a dangerous situation

No, Framingham, Mass., native and former Red Sox infielder Lou Merloni is nothing like the repulsively hysterical Kenny Powers from HBO's Eastbound and Down.
However, according the the guys at brobible.com, Sweet Lou does make their list of "15 Professional Athletes Who Have Had Real-Life Kenny Powers Moments."
Merloni, like Powers, was a gym teacher at Framingham High School for two offseasons before making it to Boston's big club in 1998.
Other athletes to make the list were Rod Beck (mullet), Darryl Strawberry (drug abuse), Tyson Ross (lives with family) and John Daly (sold his own memorabilia).
The second season of the baseball-based comedy, that stars Danny McBride
as an over-the-top washed-up ballplayer, premieres this Sunday night.
What words of wisdom would Kenny Powers have for a young Lou Merloni? Leave your suggestions in the comments.
This faithless Sox fan has been waiting a while to use this one.
"If the Red Sox win all 10 of their final games (think about that for a minute, how many 10 game winning streaks they have this year? This decade? In their history?) AND the Yankees lose 6 out of their last 9, the Red Sox will STILL miss the playoffs. Anyone who thinks that's going to happen raise their right hand (probably the one with the beer mug in it)."
I knew American baseball fans weren't the only ones embarrassing themselves in the stands with their laughable athletic abilities.

ReWorks will hold a free on-site document shredding event Saturday, July 12, 2014 in the City of Macedonia from 9:00 a.m. until noon. The event will be held at Macedonia City Hall, 9691 Valley View Road.
According to a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice, 7 percent of households within the United States reported some type of identity theft during 2013. That theft amounted to financial losses of over $21 billion.
Shredding confidential information to protect personal information and sensitive data is one step towards protecting yourself from identity theft. Plus it is a good way to recycle paper.
"Shredding might be inconvenient, but it's absolutely necessary--and it's fundamental to protecting your identity," said ReWorks Executive Director Yolanda Walker.
The free event is for Summit County residents and businesses only. There is a limit of 10 file boxes or shopping bags per vehicle.
ReWorks will hold additional onsite document shredding events Aug. 9 in Green, Sept. 13 in Barberton and Oct. 4 in Akron.
ReWorks is Summit County's Solid Waste Management Authority. ReWorks provides solutions and leadership to empower Summit County communities, institutions and businesses to develop and utilize environmentally sound, cost-effective recycling and waste management strategies.

The Town Mouse team join us again today with a very fitting recipe for this week's chilly temperatures – a hearty Smoked Ham Hock, Rye and Cavolo Nero Soup. As Christian says below, this rich, comforting meal really is the ultimate nourishing mid-week-mid-winter soul food! – Lucy

Everyone should have a wholesome wintery soup in their repertoire. Whether it's your health or your soul that needs restoration, this smoky, slurpy super-food laden soup is what we all wish someone would bring us when we're feeling a little under the weather. Simmering on the stove, a soup fills your home with warmth, goodness, and the promise of many a nourishing meal in the coming days.
Ham hocks are so great to cook with, they imbue the rest of the dish with their smoky goodness, and create a rich, silky textured broth. We think this soup is a meal in itself, but it's also a great one to have on standby in the fridge, for a warming cup when you get home from work, chilled to the core after waiting too long at the tram stop, or damp from the soggy bike ride home. Paired with cheesy toast, and accompanied with a rich bottle of Porter or textural glass of white, this is the ultimate mid-week-mid-winter soul food.
1 smoked ham hock
1 onion
1 celery stick
1 carrot
4 garlic cloves
50g rye grain
5g thyme
1 rosemary sprig
1 bayleaf
100g cavolo nero, washed and sliced
10g parsley, chopped
1 lemon zest
30ml olive oil
Dave trims the cavolo nero. Photo – Sean Fennessy.
In a medium sized pot take the smoked ham hock and cover with water, bring to the boil and gently simmer for two to three hours. You may need to top up the water every now and again.
When the meat is falling off the bone tender, remove the pot from the heat and leave the ham hock to cool in the liquid for one hour. When cool enough to handle, carefully pick the meat from the bone and strain the stock, reserve both.
Cut the onion, carrot, celery and garlic into a small dice. Gently caramelise these ingredients in a medium sized pot, when they're nice and golden add the reserved ham hock stock, rye and the hard herbs.
Bring to a simmer and cook until the rye is soft (about 15 – 20 mins), then add the cavolo nero and continue to cook until the cabbage is tender (about 10 – 15 mins). When the soup is ready, take it off the heat and add the chopped parsley, lemon zest and olive oil. Season well. A nice hearty meal for a cold winter's day!
MASSIVE thanks to The Town Mouse team for sharing their impressive culinary repertoire with us this month. Do pop in to The Town Mouse at 312 Drummond St, Carlton, where you will find this and many more amazing dishes on the menu! Say hi from us!

My Car makes loud fan sound at start up
Past couple weeks, I've noticed my car has been making a very loud revving sound or over heating sound at start up. It basically sounds like a loud fan starting up. Last week when I was driving my engine over heat symbol came on in yellow then seconds later turned to red, then seconds later my car came to a stop. I let it cool down and parked to take a look under the hood. I noticed there was no Anti freeze in my car. I filled it up and then thought the noise would go away as I thought maybe the sound was from depleted liquid in the compartment. Any clue is to what this sound is from or being caused by?
Sounds like symptoms of a failed/failing water pump. My car did the same thing in a matter of seconds. I had it towed it to the shop.
Good luck.
I really appreciate the advise. Thank you. I thought that also only because my ex had the same model and year and she stalled on the side of the road and they told her also it was a failed water pump. I heard it was common but I prayed it wasn't that. How much does something like that run?
Haha Oh boy. I should've got a maint. package.

New Year's Eve Brings Music, Money to Gainesville
"They're calling for something like 2400 people here tonight or something like that," says Matt Brink, a chef at the Lunchbox downtown, "so we're getting pretty geared up for it, doing a lot of prep work, hopefully it'll be fruitful."
The winter months can be hard on outdoor restaurants like the Lunchbox, and Brink adds they're hoping Bo Diddley's New Years Eve activities will " be a good boost to get us through the next couple of weeks that should be kind of slower."
Tonight Bo Diddley Plaza will be teeming with hundreds of people ready to ring in the new year with music. Two Gainesville based bands will be playing on the stage behind me while people dance and mingle. Restaurants like Vellos Downtown Grill say they're trying to capitalize on party-goers drifting away from Bo Diddley Plaza.
"I don't know if they're selling food," says one Vellos chef, "hopefully it'll bring us a lot of business and we'll make a lot of money tonight."
As the restaurants prep and the tents go up, Downtown Gainesville comes together for what promises to be a party that makes plenty of music and plenty of money for Gainesville.

Since there are no lawyers on the blog team, they asked me to weigh in on some comments that have come into the blog on legal and constitutional issues. I'm the Chief Counsel at TSA, Francine Kerner, and I hope I can provide some useful information to those interested in the legal aspects of the screening process.
In regard to comments questioning the constitutionality of TSA's airport security screening procedures, the courts have addressed the issue and disagree with the notion that our procedures are unconstitutional. TSA takes the rights of the traveling public very seriously, and in implementing security screening measures, carefully weighs the intrusiveness of those measures against the need to prevent terrorist attacks involving aircraft. Balancing the same considerations, the courts have long approved searches of airline passengers and their bags for weapons and explosives as constitutionally permissible under what is now commonly referred to as the "administrative search" or "special needs" exception to the Fourth Amendment warrant requirement. See, for example, United States v. Edwards, 498 F.2d 496 (2d Cir. 1974). More recently, the courts have ruled that TSA procedures involving identification checks and passenger screening satisfy the requirements of the Fourth Amendment and properly respect the public's qualified right to travel.
See, for example, United States v. Aukai, 497 F.3d 955 (9th Cir. 2007) (en banc); Gilmore v. Gonzales, 435 F.3d 1125 (9th Cir. 2006), cert. denied, 127 S. Ct. 929 (2007); United States v. Hartwell, 436 F.3d 174 (3d Cir.), cert. denied, 127 S. Ct. 111 (2006).
I see that at least one person was troubled by the fact that TSA's screening of airline passengers sometimes yields evidence of crimes not directly related to aviation security. Our responsibility and focus in the airport screening process is to prevent a terrorist attack involving aircraft. In the course of carrying out our mission by screening for weapons and explosives, however, we sometimes incidentally discover illegal items unrelated to transportation security. Federal law and policy require that we refer such items to law enforcement officers for appropriate action. See, for example, United States v. Marquez, 410 F.3d 612, 617 (2005).
To the commenters who have complained about receiving secondary screening despite not having alarmed the walk-through metal detector, there are several reasons why an airline passenger may receive additional screening. For example, some passengers are randomly selected for secondary screening in order to help detect dangerous items that might not alarm the metal detector. Adding this element of randomness to the process makes manipulating the system more difficult.
And finally, to address the comments that expressed concerns about screening in retaliation for voicing complaints about TSA: it is not TSA's policy to subject anyone to additional screening because of their political views or complaints about the screening process. However, threatening a security officer may trigger additional screening.
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your concerns.
update by Francine on 2/27/08:
To date, we have received over 100 responses to our post regarding TSA's legal authority to conduct security screening at airports. Many of your responses raise questions about the authority of TSA personnel to request a name or other identifying information (ID) from a passenger. You also want to know why the information is requested, how the information is used after you provide it, and whether TSA is following the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974 (Privacy Act), 5 U.S.C. § 552a, in requesting and using your personal information. Today's post will answer these questions.
In simple terms, the Privacy Act is a statute that controls the government's collection of personal information for later use. This is an important point. Merely asking a traveler to provide ID for a quick examination at the checkpoint does not trigger application of the Privacy Act as long as the agency is not making a record of the information to use in the future. In contrast, if TSA records a traveler's name or other identifying information with the intention of filing the information so that it can be retrieved at a later date by the traveler's name or ID, the agency is required to comply with the provisions of the Privacy Act.
During the screening process, TSA tries to identify individuals who may be planning to do us harm now or in the future. TSA tries to prevent potentially dangerous items from being brought into the boarding area. Finally, TSA responds to incidents that occur during the screening process. A passenger may need medical assistance, screened property may be damaged, lost or stolen, or an individual may become abusive in challenging a screening determination. Handling of these or any other matters may lead TSA personnel to request a traveler's name or other identifying information for filing in a Privacy Act system of records.
As a general matter, information filed in a TSA Privacy Act system of records may be used for a variety of security and administrative purposes. It may be used to identify individuals who require special screening procedures. It may be used to pursue a criminal prosecution or a civil enforcement action. It may be used to evaluate an injury or property claim, or to respond to a passenger complaint. TSA has listed all of the routine uses for the information it collects in the Privacy Act system of records notices published by the agency in the Federal Register. Most of the personal information collected in connection with the screening process is kept in a TSA system of records entitled DHS/TSA 001 Transportation Enforcement Records System (TSERS). See 69 FR 71828 (Dec. 10, 2004).
In some situations where TSA collects information directly from an individual, the Privacy Act requires TSA to provide a written notice to the individual setting forth its authority to gather the information and describing how the agency will use the information. One example of a TSA Privacy Act notice appears on the comment card that may be obtained at some screening checkpoints. Requesting a comment card should not result in harassment of any traveler. Additionally, TSA will accept anonymous comments either by filling out a comment card or by forwarding comments to the TSA Contact Center at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Under the Privacy Act, any individual may submit a request to TSA to obtain the information we have on file about the requestor. With rare exceptions, which are set forth in the Federal Register, we will provide the requestor with the information we have in our files.
If you wish to see a further discussion of the Privacy Act, please see our Web site, at:
Thank you for your comments and questions about the Privacy Act. We hope that you will check back on the Blog for future posts regarding legal issues.

We're excited to announce the addition of iPhone 5S and 5C Cases to our catalogue, in preparation for Apple's recently announced 09/20/13 release date.
Since patience is overrated, we're making the cases available to order on Society6 now. They'll be ready to ship once the phones are available in stores. Please note, while orders will be confirmed now they will be shipped after the phones appear in stores.
Continuing with the popular slim design of our previous iPhone 5 Cases, these new additions still include the lay-flat feature which protects the front of your iPhone by extending the bezel above the screen, with a silicone interior liner for extra impact cushioning.
Both models are now available in the Society6 Store and your Profile/Shop.
Cool news.
Although I swear the Galaxy SX phone releases have never got such quick product additions...
Although I swear the Galaxy SX phone releases have never got such quick product additions...
Just one MORE reason to be here! I'd love to see 'IRON ON TRANSFERS' added! Then our art could be placed on the customers' items, i.e. bedspreads, curtains, clothing they already own, briefcases, the list is endless! Any votes for this idea?
Super rad! I'm probably upgrading this time too. I do wish there were more phone cases for my non-iPhone customers. Otherwise, keep up the great work!
These are great, It would be nice to see a range of non-iPhone specific cases as well added to the catalog, as there are many people who use Android-based phones too.
Why don't you create templates for your creators? This makes NO sense. Your guidelines say "Just crop and replace until you are happy." Ease of use changes behavior. Do yourself and your sellers a favor and create downloadable, editable templates.
Society6 just gets better and better. A great range of products at keen prices and a really excellent product page, showing all the product options clearly. Hats off!
I am going to put a lot more energy into my store.
I am going to put a lot more energy into my store.
I have to say I'm disappointed in the case I purchased for my 5s; the plastic is much thinner and flexes quite a bit compared to the case for my wifes 4s (that I also purchased on Society6). Is there a reason you went so much thinner? My confidence in this cases ability to protect my phone is not strong. :(

2012 GC Srt8 - iphone 4S Phonebook issue
I am new to the Uconnect and this is my first experience. Just got my 2012 Grand Cheroke SRT8 and paired the iphone 4S. The phonebook is downloaded but I dont see the contacts displayed on the screen when I opt for list contacts. Is it this normal and only voice activated ? It reads all my contacts from the phonebook, but don't see the names displayed on the screen.
Re: 2012 GC Srt8 - iphone 4S Phonebook issue
I'm also having issues with Uconnect and the phonebook when paired to the Iphone 4S with IOS5. My vehnicle is equipped with the 730n RHR. Many of my frequent contacts are duplicated. I'm pretty sure the problem is due to the fact that I have friends in my MS Outlook contacts and my phone book.
I changed my bluetooth sync settings on the Iphone for the Uconnect connection to Sync contacts and only sync Phone Favorites and selected "None" under Other Groups. Now the only people that sync to Uconnect at the people I flag as a favorite on the Iphone and I have no more duplicate names.
However, I do still have issues with the way Uconnect interprets names...LOL! For example, the last name "McEuen" is pronounced "mmSuin" and "Terry" is pronounced "turry". Once you learn to speak in Uconnect's bizarre language the handsfree dialing works well. But there was a lot of frustration before I got to that point. Maybe I should spell names phonetically in the Iphone phonebook :-)
Re: 2012 GC Srt8 - iphone 4S Phonebook issue
This is normal for both the 430 and 730's. The phonebook is downloaded for voice calling not on screen viewing.
Re: 2012 GC Srt8 - iphone 4S Phonebook issue
Will it work to ask it(730) to navigate to someones house that is stored in my contacts?
Re: 2012 GC Srt8 - iphone 4S Phonebook issue
Re: 2012 GC Srt8 - iphone 4S Phonebook issue
Well I may have the same issue or related. I have a wk2 Overland and the RHR 730N. When I first paired, it sync'd and downloaded my Contacts from my Iphone 4S iOS5.
It worked great, I was impressed. Plug and Play. Even when I went into the truck and UConnect came up I would see it rush out and sync the phone book for updates.
But not any more. It has stopped doing that now for some reason. I have had to pair and re-pair a few times when things get wacky and that has not fixed it or could have messed it up.
I have changed contacts and they are still the same spellings and names as before.
I am going to try unpairing and pairing again. But it should not require that every time. The OG says that it should sync automagically each time the BT receiver finds your phone and connects.
I did notice the software revision for the 4S is not up to iOS5 on the Jeep.com/Uconnect site. 4.something.
If any of you know a way to force sync or have seen this do tell.
Btw, on the 730N you can see and list your contacts on screen using voice command or touch screen. I have not found a way to use the addresses in the Garmin GPS side. Just not an interface between the two.
We are all so used to our phones being so integrated and with links to get maps or directions, the car Nav systems are so far behind still. Part of the problem is most are not internet enabled. Still just a GPS Sat receiver, SAT radio, and fancy hands free cell phone tool. Someday :D

After a Texas jury convicted it of obstructing justice, Andersen said it would quit auditing public companies by 31 August. Before the verdict, it had lost nearly one-third of its US audit clients. The jury found Andersen destroyed documents relating to the collapse of Enron, even after the US authorities began investigating the energy company.
The probe was launched late last year after Enron restated its 1997-2000 accounts - initially approved by Andersen. Actual earnings over the four years fell sharply after Enron admitted that many of its liabilities were parked off its balance sheet.
Andersen's fall from global leader to global pariah is less precipitous than it appears. Enron was not its first transgression. A year ago, Andersen paid US regulators nearly £5m to settle fraud allegations related to its audit of recycling firm Waste Management.
The firm faced allegations of impropriety at failed appliance maker Sunbeam. This year, Andersen shelled out another £145m after litigation on another bankrupt client, the Baptist Foundation of Arizona.
As its American arm self-destructed, Andersen's non-US units scrambled to find merger partners. The UK side has struck a deal with rival Deloitte & Touche, which awaits Brussels clearance. Former managing partner John Ormerod will head Deloitte's London office.
Not all his staff were so lucky. One-third, or 1,700, were axed, including 80 of the 400 highly-paid partners. Industry insiders were surprised that Deloitte struck a deal.
Andersen UK was not a limited partnership, so its partners could still face massive liabilities from the US civil lawsuits pending. Insiders believe UK partners have already lost all the capital they put in, averaging £1m each.
Despite this awful warning, UK accountants are arguing that a similar collapse is unlikely over here. They say accounting scandals such as Maxwell and Polly Peck strengthened auditing rules.
'A lot of lessons that needed to be learned were learned then,' said Peter Wyman, president of the Institute of Chartered Accountants. But the ICA has tightened regulation.
From 1 October, auditors who leave must wait two years before joining a client firm - a rule enacted 'specifically in light of Enron', said Wyman. Auditing partners will be limited to seven years on an account. Wyman believes US watchdogs will follow suit.
Will this be enough? It depends how deep the flaws exposed by Enron run through the big firms. Andersen's demise has turned the big five accountants into the big four, and they will surely want to act before another one is destroyed.

Do you get bored at your desk? Play with this sculpture! The little man is perfect to pose and then repose, depending on your mood. Great for the person with a new job or office!

EmLocke12's recommendation
I think this sculpture was modeled after a psychiatrist I used to see. He could not. Sit. Still. One leg over the arm of the chair. Both legs over the arm of the chair. Fold one leg under and wrap the other across. I think he practiced some sort of therapy where he made his patients feel like his anxiety must be a thousand times worse than theirs and so they felt better. It was unbelievable! This is a very reasonably priced, high interest and interactive piece of desk "flair," though it does provide opportunity for some awkward visuals time if left in the hands of the wrong coworker!
My Collections:

Always looking for cool office gadgets. Use as a bookend or a paper weight too.

The going theory about the Tyrannosaurus rex, in case you didn't know, had been until very recently that this famous mega-dinosaur sported stumpy little arms as an evolutionary adaptation related to its jumbo body size. Then a fossil of Raptorex kriegsteini—perhaps 1/100th the size of T. rex, its descendant—came along and upended that notion with its own disproportionately puny forelimbs. —KA
A 3m-long dinosaur fossil from China which predates T. Rex by 60 million years is a blueprint for the mighty carnivore, say researchers.
They tell Science magazine that the fossil displays the same features as T. rex but in miniature.
The new species, Raptorex kriegsteini, would have weighed around 65kg; its descendants were 90 times as massive.
Scientists believe it could be the "missing link" between earlier species of dinosaur and T. rex.
The 125-million-year-old specimen suggests that T. rex's characteristic big head with enhanced jaw, relatively small forearms and huge back legs were inherited from this much smaller dinosaur, and that the body type changed little over millions of years except in size.

We use the light colours on the Gro Egg as an indicator for safe sleep temperatures. Thank you for your feedback, I will pass this to our product development team.

Excellent product, easy to setup. Cable length is good, being USB it can easily be extended by buying an extension.
Originally purchased for nursery, buying a second for the living room. Highly recommend.

Cadillac XLR Coilover System
Application: 2004-2009 XLR and XLR-V Series
Status: In Stock
This system holds nothing back and provides the ride quality one would expect out of a Cadillac XLR with the performance of a true sports car. This system installs in just a few hours. The great thing about this system, besides the unmatched handling and performance, is the fact that you dont have ANY drivability issues (i.e. no squeaks, clanks, or popping). Dips, surface changes, intersections, driveways, and potholes, are all easily traversed without any jarring or tracking.
With 16-way adjustability of rebound and dampening you have full control of how you want to set up your vehicle. Speaking of adjustability you also have the option to raise and lower your vehicle depending on your driving/road conditions with the adjustable ride height feature. The fully threaded valve body gives the user the ability to adjust given their conditions.
For more information on this item or any other D3 item, please contact us at email@example.com or 562-595-8518.
Thank you,

At least twenty people were injured by rubber-coated steel bullets, concussion grenades and tear gas canisters that were fired by Israeli officers into the crowd. Paestinian youth responded by throwing stones.
The pall-bearers carried the body of Mohammed Abu Khdeir from Hadassah hospital to the cemetery through the streets of Shu'fat, with thousands of people following the family shouting "We have had enough!" and "God is great!".
Barricades remain on several streets in Shu'fat, with protesters clashing with police in several locations overnight and through the morning.
Despite the large outpouring of support for the family at the funeral, many Palestinians living in Jerusalem have remained indoors, afraid to go outside since Monday, when crowds of right-wing Israelis took to the streets shouting "Death to Arabs" following the discovery of the bodies of three Israeli settlers.
The Al Aqsa Mosque reported just 8,000 people attending Friday prayers today – last year at this time, there was an average of 80,000 attending on Fridays during the holy month of Ramadan. Abu Khdeir's family had requested that their child's funeral be held there, but Israeli authorities denied that request.
Mohammed Abu Khdeir had been on his way to early morning prayers Wednesday to prepare for the all-day fast that Muslims participate in during the holy month of Ramadan when he was abducted by a group of Israelis and shoved into a car, according to eyewitnesses.
The 16-year old was then taken to an isolated spot in east Jerusalem and killed. The newly-released autopsy report found that he was still alive when he was set on fire by the assailants.
Despite video footage of the abduction that clearly identifies the assailants, and the license plate number of the vehicle he was abducted in having been recorded by eyewitnesses, Israeli police have detained none of the attackers.

New Community Youth at EYE
The purpose of the New Community event at EYE14 is to gather youth from ethnic constituencies – for conversations around the social issues of the day, for becoming agents of transformation, and for helping to form a model for the church in reconciling the world to God and one another in Christ.

Last week Prof. Boachie-Adjei and his team traveled to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital, to provide follow-up care for patients and perform surgeries.
Nursing is a profession of giving, of dedication, and spiritual passion. And no one is exemplifying these qualities better than the nurses of FOCOS Orthopaedic Hospital, as they continue to celebrated Annual Nurses Week of 2016. Spearheaded by the FOCOS Nursing Leadership and the entire nursing team, this week of events sought out to highlight the often underrepresented work that the country's nurses do for the healthcare community.
Interview of Professor Obeneba Boachie-Adjei on Joy News April 24, 2016 featuring FOCOS patient, Jemima, pictured here on the left.
March 19, 2016 Dr. Boachie-Adjei was inducted into the Global Medical Mission Hall of Fame.
John Francis Delina (Francis) is a twelve-year-old boy who has been diagnosed with severe scoliosis (severe thoracolumbar dextrorotoscolios with kyphosis). The severe 110 degree S curvature of Francis' spine will eventually result in pressure on the lungs. As the curvature progresses, doctors have determined that it is likely that his lungs will be eventually be punctured as the pressure increases. Paralysis is also a foreseeable risk in the future should the condition go untreated.
The former UN Secretary-General, Busumubru Kofi Annan paid a visit to FOCOS Othopaedic Hospital at Pantang in Accra, Ghana on Wednesday, January 6th, 2016. Mr. Annan, who was on a familiarization tour of the hospital, met with FOCOS President and Founder, Dr. Oheneba Boachie-Adjei, the Chief Administrative Officer, Mrs. Leticia Osei-Poku and the Development Manager, Mr. Kingsley Asiedu Koranteng, both of the FOCOS Orthopedic Hospital.
Long-time FOCOS volunteers, Diane Gums and Phyllis D'Ambra, have teamed up with former FOCOS Board Member, Bettye Wright, to create the Spinal and Orthopedic Screening Program in Ghana. Diane and Phyllis, who are nurses at the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, have donated their time and professional expertise for the past several years, traveling to Ghana at least once per year.
Emeritus FOCOS Board Member and long-time volunteer, Bettye Wright, was recently honored at the 8th Annual FOCOS Gala in New York City this past September. Bettye has dedicated nearly two decades of her life to FOCOS patients and their families. To pay tribute to Bettye, FOCOS Volunteer, Elise Geithner, put together this heartwarming anecdote.

Voltage Horizon is a small app I made that puts a little tiny 2 pixel wide battery meter at the top of your screen. I'm surprised I'm the first person to come up with this idea! The % of the screen the bar takes up represents the amount of battery left. If the bar is the size of half your screen, then you have 50% battery left. at 50% the bar turns yellow, and at 35% it turns red.
In order for Voltage Horizon to start every time Windows starts, you will need to put Voltage Horizon.exe in Start Menu> All Programs> Startup.
