1. January 26: Australia Day ''riot'' at The Lobby
Prime Minister Julia Gillard is dragged by security men, losing a shoe, through angry demonstrators besieging Canberra's Lobby Restaurant where she and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott were attending a function. The anger was sparked by erroneous reports that Abbott had called for the nearby Aboriginal tent embassy to be torn down. One of Gillard's own staffers subsequently loses his job after admitting he let protesters know Abbott's whereabouts.
2. February 27: Kevin Rudd makes his run...and falls
Kevin Rudd, having called on 'People Power' to restore him to the prime ministership, is resoundingly defeated by Gillard, in a Labor Party ballot. His desperate effort, which followed his resignation in Washington as foreign minister, sparked unprecedented public vitriol across Labor's ranks. The vote: 71 to Gillard, 31 to Rudd. Rudd pledges loyalty, amid mirth. He remains a backbencher.
3. March 2: Bob Carr comes to Canberra
Gillard announces former NSW Premier Bob Carr has agreed to join her government as a senator and Foreign Minister. It blindsided the press gallery after days of reports that Gillard's leadership had been damaged by failure to lure Carr to Canberra. He is the last of five ''mates'' of the NSW Right to have made their mark in the capital: Paul Keating, Graham Richardson, Laurie Brereton and Leo McLeay had already come and gone.
4. April 13: Bob Brown resigns as Greens leader
Australia's longest serving party leader, Bob Brown, announces his resignation as Leader of the Greens, ensuring a seamless transition to Christine Milne. Brown established the Greens in 1992 and had been a senator for 16 years. He declared he looked forward to ''fresh green pursuits including writing, photography, music, occasional talks, bushwalking, and getting out with (partner) Paul (Thomas) to see Miranda Gibson who has been perched for 120 days 60 metres high, in defence of a giant tree facing destruction in central Tasmania."
5. April 23: Slipper begins his slide
Peter Slipper, the Gillard government's colourful choice as Speaker, stands aside as investigations get underway into allegations of sexual harassment and fraud against him, laid by his former staffer, James Ashby. He returns to the Speaker's chair, enrobed, for only a few minutes, on October 10, this time to resign. He had survived a motion of no confidence by just one vote earlier in the day, but key independents Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott told him he had no choice but to walk the plank. Anna Burke, the deputy who has been acting in Slipper's absence, becomes Speaker.
6. May 21: Craig Thomson breaks his long silence to accuse his accusers
Craig Thomson, exiled Labor MP and former national secretary of the Health Services Union, tells a silent Parliament the allegations that he had used union funds to pay for prostitutes was the result of a vendetta by union heavies. He accuses Fair Work Australia of incompetence in its findings against him and suggests someone might have ''cloned'' his phone to frame him. He cries as he accuses TV reporters of invading his pregnant wife's privacy. He remains an independent MP.
7. May 30: Swift as a gazelle and faster than Abbott, Pyne flees Thomson vote
Thomson votes with the Coalition, so alarming Tony Abbott's troops that Abbott and Christopher Pyne rush for the door to avoided being tainted. Pyne, boasting he's as fast as a gazelle, makes it out of Parliament but Abbott is forced by Speaker Anna Burke to stay.
8. June 27-28: Parliament fiddles as asylum seekers' boats sink
Emotions run high as the Parliament debates what to do about asylum seekers following the sinking of two crowded boats, leaving an indeterminate number of asylum seekers dead. The parties fail to agree, the Greens combine with the Coalition in the Senate to vote down a proposal to allow off-shore processing in Malaysia and Nauru, and the Parliament closes for the winter with no solution reached.
9. July 1: Carbon tax introduced
The carbon tax Gillard promised would never happen under her government is introduced. Labor ridicules Abbott for forecasting doom to industrial cities like Whyalla and Labor Minister Craig Emerson breaks in to satirical song, re-writing Skyhooks' ''Horror Movie'' with lines like ''No Whyalla Wipe-out, there on my TV''.
10. 13 August: Everything old is Nauru again
An expert panel headed by former military chief Angus Houston recommends re-opening Nauru and Manus Island to house asylum seekers, saying such a policy would be ''hard-headed but not hard-hearted''. The asylum seekers would stay on these offshore islands for the time it would normally take to be processed in foreign countries - up to five years. Human rights advocates are horrified, but Gillard Labor and the Abbott Coalition rush to embrace the idea.
11. September 8: Julia Gillard's father dies. Alan Jones loses any sense of decency
Julia Gillard flies home from the APEC forum in Vladivostok, Russia, to mourn the death of her loved father, John. Ms Gillard gives a moving tribute to her father in Parliament on September 19. Ten days later the Sydney radio parrot Alan Jones finds himself disgraced and loses advertisers in droves when it is revealed he said Ms Gillard's father ''died of shame'' because of the ''lies'' she told . Tony Abbott is criticised for failing to criticise Jones quickly enough and hard enough.
12. October 10: The misogyny speech
While arguing against a motion to force Slipper from the Speakership, Gillard launches a full-blown attack on Abbott, accusing him of misogyny. ''I say to the Leader of the Opposition I will not be lectured about sexism and misogyny by this man. I will not. Because if he wants to know what misogyny looks like in modern Australia, he doesn't need a motion in the House of Representatives, he needs a mirror.'' The speech goes viral on the internet and the Canberra press gallery is accused of failing to recognise the importance of the moment. Ms Gillard's poll figures start picking up.
13. November 29: The (ancient) AWU Slush Fund Affair
After months of claims about Gillard's role in helping establish an association when she was a young lawyer 20 years ago - which her then boyfriend Bruce Wilson is alleged to have used to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars (though he blames another old union colleague, Ralph Blewitt) - the opposition launches a parliamentary attack on Gillard, who stonewalls, declaring it has all been explained and she did nothing wrong. On the last day of the parliamentary year, Abbott and Pyne accuse her of ''criminal'' behaviour. She moves to suspend parliamentary orders to give Abbott 15 minutes to substantiate the claim. He tones it down, and she spends 15 minutes accusing him of failing to produce any evidence. Parliament closes down for the summer, an election awaiting in 2013.

'Players play hard when Nolan asks. He was coach of the year with the Sabres, then mystifyingly wasn't given a good offer to stay and, even more mystifyingly, didn't have an NHL job for nine years. He and his wife reflected on that Sunday night, after it sunk in that his new team is in the playoffs against his old team. "I really enjoyed my time in Buffalo," he said, without saying what he thought about his time ending too quickly. Nolan is enjoying this time more. So what if the Islanders are huge underdogs and the Sabres have the best record in the National Hockey League. He can enjoy the hockey without worrying about office politics.'

Delegate's Report, 35th Session of the Codex Alimentarius Commission
July 2-7, 2012
Rome, Italy
The 35th Session of the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) took a number of actions that affirmed the importance of science and following established Codex procedures in setting Codex standards. Key actions included:
- Adopted more than 20 new standards, many of which (pesticide residue MRLs, veterinary drug MRLs, food additive usages) contained multiple provisions.
- Voted to adopt Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) for the veterinary drug ractopamine, which has been under discussion for several years.
- Agreed to place the veterinary drug zilpaterol on the priority list for evaluation by JECFA.
- Established a process to progress consideration of MRLs for rBST, currently held at Step 8.
- Discontinued work on a standard for processed cheese.
- Established a sub-committee of the Codex Executive Committee to consider funding options for the expert committees that provide scientific advice to Codex.
The Session was attended by 580 representatives from 144 Member countries and 36 international intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations. The United States was represented by Co-Delegates Darci Vetter (USDA Deputy Undersecretary for Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services) and Brian Ronholm (USDA Deputy Undersecretary for Food Safety), Karen Stuck, U.S. Manager for Codex, 13 governmental advisors, and 8 non-governmental advisors.
Adoption of Standards
The CAC adopted:
- Over 150 food additive provisions. The United States and the European Union agreed to return provisions for sorbates in edible casings and phosphates in vegetables and nectars to the Committee on Food Additives for further consideration.
- Guidelines on the Application of General Principles of Food Hygiene to the Control of Viruses in Food
- Annex on Melons to the Code of Hygienic Practice for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
- Maximum level (ML) for melamine in liquid infant formula (ready to consume)
- ML for total aflatoxins in dried figs
- Over 270 maximum residue levels (MRLS) for 19 pesticides
- Veterinary drug MRLs for narasin in cattle tissues; amoxicillin in cattle, sheep, and pig tissues and cattle and sheep milk; monensin in cattle liver; and ractopamine in pork and cattle tissues
- Revision of the Guidelines for Nutrition Labeling concerning provisions for mandatory nutritional labeling and a definition of "nutrient reference values"
- Revision of the Guidelines for Use of Nutrition and Health Claims to incorporate a new definition for "non-addition claims," conditions for free of salt claims, amendments to the section on comparative claims, and conditions for non-addition of sugars claims
- Revision of the Code of Practice for Source-Directed Measures to Reduce Contamination of Food with Chemicals.
- Sampling plans for residue control for aquatic animal products
Ractopamine MRLs
The MRLs for ractopamine in muscle, liver, kidney, and fat in pork and beef had been held at Step 8 since 2010, and had raised fundamental questions regarding the balance between science-based decision making and the role of other factors in setting Codex standards. Scientific issues have been resolved through multiple JECFA evaluations, with the exception of an MRL for lung tissue for which work is pending. The opposition to adoption was primarily based on non-scientific issues related to consumer concerns.
The CAC exchanged a round of views on the adoption of the MRLs with no substantive changes in positions and no consensus on adoption. The Delegation of Ghana requested a vote on adoption of the proposed MRLs. A secret ballot was requested by the EU, and a series of votes followed. The CAC voted 92-41 to conduct the votes by secret ballot; 68-64 to proceed to a vote on adoption; and 69-67 to adopt the MRLs.
The European Union and eight other Countries expressed their reservation for the adoption. While pleased with the adoption of the MRLs, the United States expressed its belief that adoption of standards in Codex through voting should be a rare exception to the general principle of consensus.
The MRLs for recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST) have been held at Step 8 since 1995, and mixed views were expressed during the discussion at this session. Those opposed to adoption cited animal health, animal welfare, and possible antimicrobial resistance resulting from the use of rBST. The United States and others that favored adoption noted that these issues are outside the mandate of Codex, that the science was sufficient, and that no food safety issues remain.
The Commission agreed that an updated scientific review by JECFA would be undertaken with the full report provided to the Codex Committee on Residues of Veterinary Drugs in Food, which will make recommendations to the CAC.
New Work
Thirteen new work items were approved including:
- Revision of the Code of Hygienic Practice for Spices and Dried Aromatic Plants
- Annex on berries to the Code of Hygienic Practice for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
- Levels of Radionuclides in Food
- Revision of Maximum Levels for Lead in Fruit Juices, Milk and Secondary Milk Products, Infant Formula, Canned Fruits and Vegetables, Fruits and Cereal Grains in the General Standard for Contaminants and Toxins in Food and Feed
- Code of Practice for the prevention and reduction of ochratoxin A contamination in cocoa
- Risk Management Options for Residues of Veterinary Drugs for which no ADI and/or MRL has been recommended by JECFA due to specific health concerns
- Priority lists for evaluation of pesticides and veterinary drugs
- Regional standard for date paste to be developed in the Coordinating Committee for the Near East (CCNE). While not opposing the work, the United States supported an international rather than regional standard because the product is traded internationally. However, the CCNE delegations strongly supported a regional standard noting that the expertise for this product resided in the region.
Discontinuation of Work on a Processed Cheese Standard
The CAC discontinued work on a standard for processed cheese standard, which had also been considered for discontinuation in 2010 and 2011. While some countries felt that a standard was necessary to facilitate trade in the product, the United States, others argued that the product clearly could not be standardized and that no trade impediments had been identified. The Codex Secretariat will request countries to identify gaps in the safety and quality provisions of existing Codex standards that would justify new work on a standard.
Priority list for evaluation of veterinary drugs
The Codex Committee on Residues of Veterinary Drugs in Food (CCRVDF) had requested guidance from the CAC on its process for making decisions on inclusion of drugs on the priority list for evaluation by JECFA. The issue arose when a proposal to add zipaterol to the list was opposed by the EU and others on the basis that the EU would block consensus on adoption so it would be a waste of time and resources to conduct a JECFA evaluation. The drug had met all criteria in the Codex Procedural Manual for placement on the priority list. The United States considered this a critical process issue for Codex and argued that it was fundamentally inappropriate to pre-judge a decision on any substance until the scientific risk assessment had been completed.
The CAC placed zilpaterol on the priority list based on advice by the FAO Legal Counsel, who indicated that, while there was no specific rule on whether a compound should or should not be placed on the priority list, there was a clear need for predicable procedures in Codex. He noted that historically substances that met the criteria had been placed on the priority list, that a consistent practice in CCRVDF had been established, and therefore it was not unreasonable to expect that Zilpaterol should be placed on the JECFA priority list.
Strategic Planning
Significant time was spent discussing the Draft Strategic Plan for 2014-2019 and the four goals:
- Goal 1: Establish international food standards that address current and emerging food issues.
- Goal 2: Ensure the application of risk analysis principles in the development of Codex standards.
- Goal 3: Facilitate the effective participation of all Codex Members
- Goal 4: Implement effective and efficient work management systems and practices.
The Codex Secretariat will distribute the draft Strategic Plan for comment by Members and Regional Coordinating Committees, and a sub-committee of the Codex Executive Committee was established to revise the Strategic Plan for adoption at the next session of the CAC.
Funding for Expert Scientific Committees
The United States and the EU collaborated on a paper calling attention to the need for additional funding for the independent FAO/WHO expert committees that provide scientific advice to Codex. The paper raised the possibility of considering funding from non-government sources, in addition to encouraging more support from Member Countries and from FAO and WHO. The CAC established a sub-committee of the Codex Executive Committee to consider funding options for consideration at the next session of the Executive Committee and the CAC. It was recognized that funding from non-government sources would need to comply with FAO and WHO rules to assure continued independence of the expert committees.
Proposal for New Committee on Spices
The Delegation of India proposed establishment of a new Codex committee on spices to develop commodity standards for a wide range of spices along with their derivatives. While the Commission was receptive to the proposal, several Delegations including the United States indicated that the scope needed clarification. India will prepare a discussion paper for the next CAC, and the Regional Coordinating Committees will be asked to provide views on the proposal.
Codex Logo
The CAC Chair proposed development of a Codex logo in order to improve the visibility of Codex and help promote use of Codex standards. While generally supporting improved visibility for Codex, the Codex Executive Committee discussed the difficulties in monitoring the use of a Codex logo. The CAC agreed to move forward with development of the logo as part of a broader communications strategy.
50th Anniversary of Codex
The CAC noted that next year will be the 50th anniversary of the Codex Alimentarius Commission. The CAC established a committee to organize activities in conjunction with the observance.
The Commission re-elected as Chairperson and Vice-Chairpersons the following individuals.
- Chairperson: Mr. Sanjay Dave (India)
- Vice Chairpersons: Mr. Samuel Godefroy (Canada); Mrs. Awilo Ochieng Pernet (Switzerland); and Mr. Samuel Sefa-Dedeh (Ghana).
Committee Report
The full report of the 35th Session of the CAC will be available at www.codexalimentarius.org.

Insect bites or stings can be from a number of insects, including bees, spiders, fleas, hornets, wasps, and mosquitoes. Some bites and stings cause itching; others cause pain. The itching and pain occur because the insect has injected venom or another irritating substance into your skin, which causes an allergic reaction. In most cases, this reaction is bothersome but not dangerous. However, a severe reaction can cause anaphylaxis, resulting in shortness of breath and tightening of your throat. Anaphylaxis can be fatal, even on the first reaction. Severe reactions can affect the whole body and may occur in minutes. This is a medical emergency and you should call 911. Another type of allergic reaction is called angioedema, which involves swelling throughout your body, especially the face, lips, and around the eyes. More people have allergic reactions to stinging insects than to biting insects.
Stinging insects include bumblebees, yellow jackets, hornets, wasps, and fire and harvester ants. Biting insects include conenose bugs, mosquitoes, horseflies, deerflies, spiders, ticks, bedbugs, and black flies.
If you know that you have a serious allergy to an insect, carry an emergency epinephrine kit. Your doctor can prescribe one. Make sure that friends and family members know how to use an Epi-pen if you have had a reaction in the past. Wear a medical ID bracelet. For those with allergies, venom immunotherapy is up to 98% effective in preventing sting anaphylaxis.
If you are traveling to an area where malaria is common, ask your doctor about a malaria vaccine.
You can prevent insect bites and stings with proper clothing:
Applying insect repellent to your clothes instead of your skin can help prevent any skin irritation. When in an area infested with mosquitoes, sand flies, or ticks, use a chemical insect repellent such as DEET. DEET has been the most effective and broadly used insect repellent for the past 6 decades. Don't apply insect repellent to sunburned skin. When applying both sunscreen and bug repellent, apply the sunscreen first. Wait 30 minutes before applying the bug repellent.
Don't use bug repellent on children's hands because they may rub their eyes or put their hands in their mouths.
In most cases, bites and stings can be easily treated at home. However, don't try to treat a suspicious bite on your own; when in doubt, call your doctor. In the case of a severe allergic reaction such as anaphylaxis, you must seek emergency medical help. Do not try to treat anaphylaxis with complementary therapies alone. If such an emergency occurs:
Redness, minor swelling, pain, or itching at the site of the bite generally go away in 3 - 7 days with no treatment, even if the affected area is large. To relieve your symptoms, follow these steps:
Including some nutrients in your diet may help support your immune system and possibly reduce any inflammation or allergic reaction you may have from an insect bite or sting, although there is no scientific evidence that they will be effective. Talk to your doctor before taking a supplement to make sure that it is safe for you and will not interact with any medications that you regularly take.
Few studies have examined the effectiveness of specific homeopathic remedies. A professional homeopath, however, may recommend one or more of the following treatments for insect bites and stings based on his or her knowledge and clinical experience. Before prescribing a remedy, homeopaths take into account a person's constitutional type. In homeopathic terms, a person's constitution is his or her physical, emotional, and intellectual makeup. An experienced homeopath assesses all of these factors when determining the most appropriate remedy for a particular individual.
Some essential oils may help repel insects. Dilute the oil before applying it to your skin. Never apply pure essential oils directly. Avoid contact with your eyes. These oils include:

Google Hiring Frenzy Skips SoCal, So Far
Despite the announcement this week that
has plans to hire more than 30,000 employees by the beginning of next year, and reports today that it was overwhelmed with over 75,000 job applications this week, those plans do not appear to have yet impacted Google's jobs listings in Southern California. A examination of Google's posted jobs in Santa Monica and Irvine on Friday show that there are only about 32 positions listed for those locations. The relatively small number of open positions in Southern California is actually a blessing in disguise for local startups and high tech companies, who have not had to compete as fiercely with Google, Facebook, and other giant Silicon Valley firms for talent--a big issue which has particularly impacted startups in Silicon Valley, both in terms of compensation and ability to attract employees. Google has offices in Santa Monica and Irvine, and recently leased 100,000 square feet in Venice.

Best Uses
The piece that goes between the toes on the left foot feels a little funny. The shoe is a little lose, but the straps are as tight as allowed. But, it's better than gluing arches in other "regular" sandals, and it's better than paying tons and tons of money for other ortho shoes that aren't cute. Will stay with this line for future purchases.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good Supplement for Women

My daughter and I both use this: me for the fish and flax oils; her for the additional primrose oil. She notices that when this product is used consistently, her mood is better and monthly cycles are easier both mentally and physically. I'm past the monthly cycles now so my need is more health maintenance. I do not like seafood at all (even the smell) so this product does give my body the valuable fish oils needed. The flax oil and primrose oils are good additions for my own particular health needs.
Love love love this Blend!

I've been taking evening primose for years for PMS (works wonders). I have also been taking fish oil caps. Now I don't have to buy them separately. What a great combination for women, adding the flax to what I already take has made a major difference in the way I feel. Highly recommend this blend.
Excellent for PMS
Posted by reflexheather on Jan 29, 2014 | Verified Purchase
I have PCOS and find that these oils help. You don't notice a difference overnight but after taking consistently they have given good improvement. I like the high levels of EPA and DHA from the fish oil and that they also contain flax and evening primrose oil. I seem to have more energy also and my skin is softer. I have worked for two of Dublin's top health stores for 10 years and am now a holistic practitioner. I hope you found this review helpful.
great combination of oils!

CHICAGO -- An upcoming webinar series from the National Automatic Merchandising Association will enlighten operators on the best practices for hiring and developing high-performing route drivers. It's available to members of the association and begins Jan. 24, with successive sessions on the following three Thursdays.
The online series draws from surveys of more than 300 route drivers, designed to help operators identify, hire and retain top-level talent, and to turn low performers into high ones. Participants will gain insight into route drivers' views on important aspects of their jobs, including rules, regulations, scheduling preferences and work environment based on information gained from the study, and learn how to use it to their best advantage.
"The route driver is the 'face' of the member's brand and the key to customer relations," said NAMA executive vice-president and chief operating officer Dan Mathews. "With this series, we are responding to the many operators who ask for this much-needed information. Operators want better insight into where they can find top-notch route drivers; this webinar will do just that."
NAMA partnered with Win the Bigger Game, a Chicago-based agency that specializes in assessing employees' talents to build productive teams, to produce and host the webinars.
Registration for the four 90-minute sessions costs $199. It includes a 14-page white paper and a LinkedIn page to facilitate interaction between participants and instructors. Webinarians will also receive a job-posting template, employment and career history application template, and "on-boarding" and training checklist.
Online registration will be available soon on the NAMA website. More information can be had now by emailing Joann DeNardis at email@example.com.

Treating asthma in children ages 5 to 11 requires some specialized techniques. Discover tips on symptoms, medications and an asthma action plan.
Asthma in children is one of the most common causes of missed school days. It can disrupt sleep, play and other activities.
Asthma can't be cured, but you and your child can reduce symptoms by following an asthma action plan. This is a written plan you develop with your child's doctor to track symptoms and adjust treatment.
If you think your child may have asthma, see a doctor. Early diagnosis is important. Asthma treatment in children improves day-to-day breathing, reduces asthma flare-ups and helps reduce other problems caused by asthma. With proper treatment, even severe asthma can be kept under control.
Common asthma signs and symptoms in children ages 5 to 11 include:
Some children have few day-to-day symptoms, but have severe asthma attacks now and then. Other children have mild symptoms or symptoms that get worse at certain times. You may notice that your child's asthma symptoms get worse at night, with activity, when your child has a cold, or with triggers such as cigarette smoke or seasonal allergies.
Severe asthma attacks can be life-threatening and require a trip to the emergency room. Signs and symptoms of an asthma emergency in children ages 5 to 11 include:
For children 5 years of age and older, doctors can diagnose and monitor asthma with the same tests used for adults. They measure how much air your child can quickly exhale, an indication of how well the lungs are working.
Your child's doctor may be able to check for inflammation in your child's airways with a test that measures levels of nitric oxide gas in the breath. In general, higher levels of nitric oxide mean your child's lungs aren't working as well as they should be and his or her asthma isn't under control.
The doctor may give your child a portable, hand-held device (peak flow meter) to measure how well his or her lungs are working. A peak flow meter measures how much air your child can quickly exhale. Low readings indicate worsening asthma. You and your child may notice low peak flow readings before symptoms become apparent. This will help you recognize when to adjust treatment to prevent an asthma flare-up.

NCAA probing Johnny Manziel for profiting from autographs
The NCAA is investigating Johnny Manziel, the Texas A&M Heisman Trophy winner, for accepting "a five-figure flat fee" for signing photos and memorabilia, ESPN reported Sunday.
The network cited anonymous sources who witnessed the January 2013 signings that took place in South Florida but did not see the cash exchange. It also noted that online sales of signed Manzielphotos show a lot of 999 sequentially numbered items. Industry insiders said that is a sign they were done in large bunches, and not just fans reselling items they coincidentally had the redshirt sophomore quarterback autograph.
The investigation began in June and whether the NCAA can verify the charge remains to be seen. Unnamed sources rarely cooperate with NCAA investigators, although the Association would have the ability to review all of Manziel's bank records where, even for a person from a family of means, a large sum of money (if deposited in a bank account) might stick out.
Based on past case precedent – which, when dealing with the inconsistent NCAA, could mean nothing – Manziel could be facing a five-game suspension if found guilty. That was the penalty given to a number of Ohio State players who exchanged memorabilia for tattoos and other gifts under the same NCAA rule in 2011.
Manziel's Aggies host No. 1 Alabama on Sept. 14, the third game of their season. It is the single-most anticipated contest of the college football season and perhaps the biggest in school history.
Unlike Ohio State, the Texas A&M program isn't under any threat of sanction unless it is determined a coach or administrator at the school knew of the alleged deal. Former Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel did know of his players dealing memorabilia and (perhaps opposed to the rule) chose to play them for an entire season anyway. That cost him his job and the Buckeyes a bowl game following the 2012 season.
The investigation into Manziel is bigger than just the particulars of the latest NCAA cops and robbers case, however.
It shines an even brighter spotlight on the NCAA's system of "amateurism" that is under significant attack both legally and politically.
The NCAA is the last major athletic organization to attempt to keep its adult athletes from being paid or profiting off their own fame and accomplishment.
It wants all revenue to come into its coffers and its coffers only – jerseys and T-shirts with Manziel's numbers are huge sellers, autographed helmets can be purchased through the university and a table with Manziel and fellow Heisman winner John David Crow at a school banquet was recently sold for $20,000.
Even the ethically challenged International Olympic Committee bailed on the questionable policy back in the 1980s and allowed athletes to be paid for endorsements, memorabilia deals and other business opportunities.
Although hardliners had predicted the practice would adversely affect the athletes or the popularity of the Olympics, allowing Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps to sell shoes and sandwiches benefited everyone. Athletes, especially in developing nations, stopped being forced to live in poverty. And the Games might now be as popular as ever.
It's the so-called "Olympic Model" and it's the soundest one for the NCAA to embrace as the drumbeat for better compensation for student-athletes increases.

Amazon EC2 will change the way MySQL is used: it suddenly opens a whole slew of new possibilities. What's really exciting is that it can also simplify the management of MySQL, which enables powerful automation.
- It takes less than 10 minutes to fire up a fresh MySQL instance, and there's a virtually limitless supply.
- There is virtually no cost to keeping old database instances around while setting up fresh ones.
- There is virtually no cost to firing up temporary database instances for special tasks.
Let's take an example. Suppose you have one master and two slaves hanging off it. Your master fails. You determine that slave 1 is at a more advanced position than slave 2, so you promote it to master. How do you proceed to get back to one master and two slaves? Without some risky magic you can't roll slave 2 forward to the same position as slave 1 and start replicating from slave 1, so slave 2 is more or less useless. On EC2 you can discard the master and slave 2 and fire up two new slaves that you set up fresh to replicate from the new master. In addition you can keep slave 2 around for a few hours until everything is stable again just in case a problem develops with slave 1 or you discover that you need to roll back a few transactions because something caused a problem.This is very different from a physical set-up where you would have promoted slave 1 to master, "fixed-up" the original master machine and made it a slave of the new master, and where you would have wiped the data from slave 2 to set it up fresh. Both of these actions sound simple, but in real life they often end up being stressful. Ideally you don't want to touch the old master so you can do in-depth troubleshooting, find out what went wrong, and fix the problem. But you also badly need the old master machine to be back in the cluster, making for a difficult choice. Wiping data from slave 2 is also not an easy decision. What if there is a problem with slave 1, or what if you really need to run some of your read-only applications in degraded mode off the now-frozen slave 2 until you have enough machines in the cluster to take the full load? Again, on EC2 all this becomes easier. You fire up fresh instances and simply keep the old machines around until you're confident that the new ones are ready to take over and you've gotten all the information you wanted off the old ones.

´Israel´s enemies increasing intel gathering efforts´ (JERUSALEM POST) By YAAKOV KATZ 06/11/12)
Source: http://www.jpost.com/Defense/Article.aspx?id=273450
JERUSALEM POST Articles-Index-Top
Israel´s enemies have increased their efforts to gather intelligence on the IDF particularly by use of signal intelligence (SIGINT) capabilities, a senior Military Intelligence officer warned on Monday.
The officer said that Israels adversaries were using technology available on the civilian market for intelligence-gathering purposes. The focus was on various military communication systems as well as cyber space.
We are seeing an improvement by the other side in its ability to gather intelligence, the officer said. They can buy civilian equipment to gather intelligence and there is also the ability of a number of groups with varying capabilities to work against us.
Due to the increase in the perceived threat, the IDF Information Security Unit embarked Monday on a new campaign aimed at raising awareness throughout the military and among reservists of the need to protect information obtained in the military.
The potential for information to leak from the IDF is increasing and the challenge to safeguard a secret is greater, the officer said, noting for example the use of social media sites by soldiers and reservists.
Access to the Internet, the officer said, poses a major challenge since it enables soldiers to simply take information even if not maliciously and to post it online. As an example, the officer referred to a recent case when a soldier posted on his Facebook page that his unit was planning an operation that night in a specific Palestinian village in the West Bank. The IDF had to cancel the operation.
The officer said that the Information Security Unit, a part of Military Intelligence, frequently listened to conversations on military networks and tracked email correspondence with non-military elements to ensure that sensitive information does not leak.
He said that the unit recently appointed Information Security officers to units mostly in the field which did not traditionally have such an officer within its ranks. In other units, officers with an existing job were trained to also be in charge of ensuring information security within their bases.
Despite the increased threat, the officer said that the IDF was planning to move forward with plans to replace all of the civilian mobile phones in use by officers and career servicemen with smart phones. Distribution of the new phones will begin in the coming weeks.
He said that the military would be stricter in enforcing rules with regards to the use of the new phones and their exclusion from classified meetings. He also said that the Information Security Unit had developed the ability to block cellular coverage from certain areas if needed when classified discussions were taking place in the vicinity.

Special Section: Education
YUCAIPA - The Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District is turning to taxpayers, asking for financial help after years of the double-whammy of declining state revenue and declining enrollment: The district has placed Measure O, a $98 million general obligation bond, on the Nov. 6 budget.
"Although we have maintenance dollars that come in, it's not enough," Superintendent Sherry Kendrick said. "We repair leaky roofs all the time, but we don't replace roofs. We're quickly approaching the time when it'll be mostly repairs."
The state has cut the amount of money paid to districts per student at the same time as the district has fewer students to be paid for: Yucaipa-Calimesa made the decision to close the 100-year-old Yucaipa Elementary School in December 2010, citing, among other factors, a 27.24 percent decline in enrollment since the 2005-2006 school year.
The bond isn't to pay for existing bills, according to the superintendent.
"We need to repair and improve some of our existing schools."
The district needs to repair existing infrastructure, including portable classrooms older than the 20 years of use they were designed for, non-functional drinking fountains, damaged bathrooms and leaky roofs.
If the bond passes, the district will also improve its high-tech infrastructure, adding wifi Internet access to classrooms.
Much of the new "common core" curriculum all California schools are switching to will be delivered via computer and the Internet.
"Our bandwidth is maxed out," Kendrick said. "People have asked 'why we can't we just teach kids the way we used to,' but the world has changed, and 21st century education requires them to be able to learn online."
The school board supported putting the bond on the ballot by a 5-0 vote. If approved by voters, Measure O will require mean an additional $44.25 in annual property taxes for every $100,000 of assessed value for approximately 20 years.
The bond works out to $10 a month for most residents, according to Kara Decker, president of the Chapman Heights Elementary School Parent Teachers Students Association and the district's point person on the Yes on O campaign. (State law prohibits districts from actively promoting bond issues once officials vote to put it on the ballot, although they can explain the possible impact the vote could have on the district.)
"I have two kids. At $10 a month, there's nothing I can get them on my own" that will have a comparable impact on their future, she said. "My kids deserve the best, and that's what we're trying to do for them. Don't they deserve it?"
They do, says one of Measure O's most prominent opponents. But not at this time.
"It's not a good time with today's economy," said Jason "Jay" Jimenez, principal of Inland Leaders Charter School. He and several fellow candidates for the school board signed a ballot statement opposed to the measure. "With Gov. Brown's (Prop. 30) income tax increase, it's a double-whammy."
Jimenez agrees the district needs financial help, but thinks Measure O is going to the wrong area of the budget.
"The bond is not actually going to higher salaries (for teachers), it's not going to (improve) class sizes."
If the bond was to go to the district's general fund, and thus be available to spend on salaries, "I would be for it. It'd be huge."
And he'd love to address the district's infrastructure needs - just not right now.
"I'm for kids, I'm for the betterment of education," Jimenez said. "It's just not a good time for it."

If you're considering spending Thanksgiving in New Orleans, consider arriving a little early. People who travel for food will want not want to miss the 2011 Oak Street Po-Boy Festival, on November 20.
Po-Boys aren't elegant and they can be messy, but they are oh-so-satisfying. They are comfort food at its finest. There's a reason the Po-Boy has such a following. There's a reason it has its own festival.
Po-Boys came into being during a 1929 New Orleans Transit Strike. Bennie and Clovis Martin, owners of the Martin Brothers' Coffee Stand and Restaurant in the French Market, had worked as streetcar conductors and were sympathetic to the cause of the transit workers. In the words of Bennie Martin, "We fed those men free of charge until the strike ended. Whenever we saw one of the striking men coming, one of us would say, 'Here comes another poor boy.'" They lengthened the traditional French loaf, and their bigger sandwiches sometimes fed whole families. Read more about the history of Po-Boys.
Nowadays, Po-Boys are a New Orleans staple and they're enjoyed throughout the Southeast. You can put just about anything inside a loaf of French bread, and people do.
More than forty vendors will be at the 2011 Oak Street Po-Boy Festival, and there is a good chance more than 40 types of Po-Boys will be served. There will also be plenty of live music. Bring an appetite and wear dancing shoes.
New Orleans Bed and Breakfasts welcome Po-Boy enthusiasts. Choose a New Orleans Bed and Breakfast near the Oak Street Po-Boy Festival, in the Carrollton District, or stay in one a bit farther away and burn off calories when traveling to and from the festival.

In 2003, Long Beach announced plans to use a $6 million grant to purchase 7.27 acres of land along the Los Angeles River, linking Cesar E. Chavez Park with Drake Park to create a riverside greenway.
On Monday night, 1st District Councilman Robert Garcia thanked the Long Beach Harbor Commission for its support of the pending park.
The area, tentatively christened the Chavez-Drake Greenway, will feature pedestrian walkways, bike trails and coastal wetland areas,
"An urbanized area like the western part of the city is desperately in need of open space, because of the density of the area," said then-Councilman Frank Colonna, the chairman of the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy, who helped secure the funding for the proposed project.
The resulting recreation area will stretch from Broadway, on the southern boundary of Chavez Park, north past Drake Park to 11th Street. The waters of the Los Angeles River will flow past its western edge, and the traffic of Golden and Maine avenues past the eastern.
Over the past years, the Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine has purchased the necessary properties, including areas owned by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the Union Pacific Railroad.
The funds to create the greenway will be drawn from the park bond Proposition 12, which supports projects to improve parks, trails and open spaces.
The total price tag for the greenbelt park is about $39.9 million - but that may be trimmed, according to Garcia.
He said a state grant of about $2.4 million might be available this summer.
"I think we're a lot closer," he said of the park plans.
Friends, funds for Bixby
The Bixby Park Fundraiser at the Long Beach Museum of Art got some good news Thursday night.
Third District Councilman Gary DeLong, Vice Mayor Suja Lowenthal and officials with the city Parks, Recreation and Marine Department identified about $50,000 for the Bixby Park restoration project, according to Claudia Schou, spokesperson for Friends of Bixby Park Fundraiser.
DeLong said that residents had raised about $50,000 for the effort.
"That got my attention," he said.
Lowenthal also offered to match all park bench donations made during the event.
DeLong saved Free Children's Public Theater at Bixby Park last summer by making a personal contribution.
Mum was the word, since DeLong didn't want any fanfare, according to Schou.
"He's really a nice guy."
Still in the works
Ellery Deaton, Seal Beach councilwoman for the Old Town and Surfside areas, reported this week that an environmental impact review on the Department of Water and Power project site is not ready for review.
The former site of the Los Angeles DWP property at First Street and Ocean Avenue has been pegged by developer Bay City Partners for 48 homes, but is facing a challenge by the Santa Monica-based law firm of Chatten-Brown & Carstens, hired by Seal Beach for Open Space.
The law firm is challenging the developer's environmental impact report (EIR), asserting that more documentation is needed to support the draft EIR's statement that "no further action" was needed regarding the 1987 removal of asbestos.
Seal Beach Director of Development Services Mark Persico said there is no asbestos at the site.
The environmental review is pending.
"The EIR was scheduled to be released (Feb.24)," Deaton stated in a recent email. "However, the consultant has requested more time to be sure that everything is thoroughly addressed before releasing the final EIR."
Deaton said a new estimated date of April 2 has been set by the consultant, though that is still subject to change as the project makes its way through the process.

Randy Travis' doctors give update on his condition
Listen to Randy Travis on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - There's been quite a bit of confusion about Randy Travis's health this week--the singer was admitted to the hospital with heart issues on Sunday, resulting in conflicting reports about his condition.
In good news, his actual attending physicians have released a statement explaining what's going on, and it sounds as if the 54-year-old singer may be starting to improve.
Dr. William Gray, who is the director of cardiovascular services at Baylor Medical Center in McKinney, Texas; and Dr. Michael Mack, director of cardiovascular disease at Dallas's Baylor Health Care System, discussed Travis's condition on Wednesday.
"He had been in previously excellent health until three weeks prior when he developed a viral upper respiratory illness," said Gray. "He was admitted at Baylor McKinney with a presumptive cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure.
"At McKinney, he was stabilized and subsequently sent to The Heart Hospital Baylor Plano for a higher level of specialized care in the care of Dr. Michael Mack. "
Dr. Mack elaborated on this, explaining that the transfer was a joint decision between the two doctors. "Since his transfer, his condition has stabilized and he has shown signs of improvement," he noted.
The two medical centers are about a half-hour's drive from each other.
"On behalf of his Mr. Travis' family, friends and associates, we would like to express our extreme gratitude for the overwhelming affection and support that Mr. Travis has received," Mack said, promising to give further updates on Travis's health as his condition changes.
Fans can watch the two doctors speak in a video posted to Baylor Health's media center.

Hicks drives in career-high six runs
Twins prospect goes 3-for-4, finishes triple shy of a cycle
By Jake Seiner / Special to MLB.com | June 16, 2013 4:22 PM ET
Midway through the season, Dalton Hicks has a pretty good idea how Midwest League pitchers are going to attack him.
That knowledge served him well Sunday as the Twins prospect drove in a career-high six runs and finished a triple shy of the cycle in Class A Cedar Rapids' 10-9 loss to Peoria.
Hicks went 3-for-4 with a walk as the Kernels finished the first half of the season in second place in the Midwest League Western Division.
The 23-year-old first baseman has become accustomed to how most teams will pitch him. The left-handed hitter anticipated Peoria would start him away, and in the first inning, he drove an outside offering up the middle for an RBI single.
"My first at-bat, I hit a ball when they started me away, like most teams will do," he said. "They'll start you with that and then as the game went on, they moved in."
Hicks walked in the third and grounded out to first base in the fifth. Anticipating the move inside in his fourth at-bat, Hicks connected with an inside fastball and drove it over the right-field wall for a three-run jack in the sixth.
"They started me away with a curveball," he said. "Then they tried to sink one inside on me and I got the barrel out there and squared it up pretty good."
After causing damage against inside and outside offerings, Hicks anticipated an off-speed pitch in his eighth-inning at-bat. Joe Donofrio offered up a hittable changeup that Hicks drove to left field for a two-run double.
"That's always the toughest part is that they'll make changes," Hicks said. "I have to make changes and make adjustments as well to what I need to do. That's baseball, and today I made some good adjustments."
Hicks twice drove in five runs in his professional debut last summer with Rookie-level Elizabeth. The 2012 17th-round Draft pick finished the first half of this season hitting .291 with 11 homers, a Minor League-leading 63 RBIs and an .862 OPS.
Peoria spoiled Cedar Rapids' bid for a first-half division title with a dramatic ninth-inning comeback. Backed by Jeremy Schaffer's tying grand slam, the Chiefs scored five runs to take the lead. A couple of batters after Schaffer's tying blast, Cardinals No. 16 prospect Patrick Wisdom put Peoria ahead with an RBI single.

Provo • Bronson Kaufusi, BYU's latest two-sport star, swung by the football team's Pro Day workouts at the Indoor Practice Facility on Thursday morning to watch his former teammates do their thing about 16 hours after helping the BYU basketball team make it to the National Invitation Tournament semifinals for the first time since 1966.
A short time later, senior forward Brandon Davies, junior guard Raul Delgado and others joined Kaufusi and accepted congratulations all around for helping BYU upset Southern Miss 79-62 in the NIT quarterfinals. And the 6-foot-7, 270-pound Kaufusi took some good-natured ribbing, even suggestions that he next join the gymnastics team, after his scary, end-over-end fall against the Golden Eagles was caught by national television cameras.
The Cougar hoopsters can afford to lighten up a little bit, now that they have erased the bitter disappointment of losing three of their last four regular-season games with a lengthy NIT run.
"It feels good," said Kaufusi. "We are really clicking right now."
Next up for BYU (24-11) is a rematch with the Baylor Bears (21-14), who advanced to the NIT's Final Four with a 79-68 win over Providence on Wednesday night in front of 4,544 in Waco.
Baylor demolished BYU 79-64 back on Dec. 21 in Texas, going on a 21-2 run to end the first half after the Cougars had jumped out to a 29-19 lead. The Bears were 9 for 18 from 3-point range, exposing BYU's poor perimeter defense.
But this is a different BYU team than it was a month ago, let alone more than three months ago, point guard Matt Carlino said after scoring 15 points and posting nine assists against USM.
"We are playing to have fun, and playing to win," Carlino said. "Everything's good out there and flowing. It feels good. It's almost like we're playing with a second wind right now. I don't feel drained. Everyone's playing tough and making the most of where we are at."
The Cougars won the NIT championship the last time they advanced to the semifinals, in 1966, but they will be a decided underdog this time, despite having fewer losses (11), than any of the other participants, all from power conferences. Maryland (25-12) meets Iowa (24-12) in the other semifinal, with the championship game scheduled for Thursday. There is no consolation game this year for the semifinal losers.
"I don't know how long it's been since we've been back to play an NIT game in New York, but it sure is great for this team," said BYU coach Dave Rose. "Maybe we were a little disappointed with this season but we've hung in there and we're doing well in this tournament. I think these guys are really playing their best and have got a second wind that's pushing them forward."
BYU announced Thursday that tickets for the NIT semifinals are available for purchase through BYUtickets.com. The seats are behind the BYU team bench on the 8th Avenue side. Tickets are $50 and include both games on Tuesday. They are renewable for Thursday's game if BYU advances to it.

Historic Luxury Hotel Prague虛擬之旅
The property was originally a brewery built around 1850. In 1903, the brewery was closed and the buiding was reconstructed into two identical semi-detached apartment houses, each with its own separate entrance and service facilities.
In 1912, Josef Mačeka (great-grandfather of the current owner) bought one of the two apartment houses and converted it into a hotel, which he named the Hotel Mačeka. The hotel and its restaurant/pub soon thereafter became a popular meeting place often visited by prominent Czech artists and other well-known Prague personalities including Alfons Mucha, the Ženíšek brothers (who decorated the ceiling of the National Theater), as well writers Franz Kafka and Jaroslav Hašek (the author of Good Soldier Schwejk).
Later in the mid-thirties, Josef Mačeka renamed the hotel to the Hotel U Haštala (Hotel at Haštal) which better identified the location of the hotel.
After the confiscation and nationalization of the hotel by the Communist government in 1958, the property was operated by the State hotel and restaurant management company. In 1968, during the occupation of Czechoslovakia by the Russian armed forces, the hotel temporarily became the headquarters of the Russian Central Command.
In 1991, the Czech government officially returned the hotel to the original legal owners (Mačeka parentage). The building was completely reconstructed in March 2008.

Photo Gallery: Women firefighters on the job
RIALTO - After Angela Licurse got divorced in the early 1990s, the single mother of three began pursuing a career that women rarely seek: firefighting.
The Phelan woman, who was taking emergency medical technician and paramedic classes in college, went on a ride-along with firefighters in the Sacramento area. She accompanied them on a rescue drill and was hooked.
"I thought it was interesting and looked like fun," she said.
But it wasn't easy. She knew she was signing up for a profession dominated by men, one that requires a high level of physical fitness and the ability to handle plenty of stress.
"I did whatever it took to get to where I am," she said.
Women firefighters are rare among fire agencies in the Inland Empire and throughout the nation. The Rialto Fire Department wants more.
The department, which has three female firefighters, is planning a recruitment event in January with the hope of attracting more.
"There's this notion that women don't want to do it because it's dirty, gritty and dangerous," said Fire Chief Mat Fratus. "They're doing it in other professions, but for some reason they're not coming to the fire service."
The Fire Department is holding two days of tours, hands-on firefighter training and simulations so women can find out if firefighting is the career for them.
Fratus said diversity is important in firefighting because of the wide range of incidents encountered.
"You want to have people who have different backgrounds," he said. "You want to have people who look at things a little differently."
San Bernardino County Deputy Fire Chief Don Odom said his department doesn't hold recruiting for specific genders or ethnicities, but diversity is important so that the agency mirrors the community it represents.
But he says that finding women for the profession is difficult because women sometimes encounter difficulty passing the physical agility tests required to become a firefighter.
Firefighters need a tremendous amount of upper body strength to move hoses and extend ladders.
"The rates of females not passing due to upper body strength has been an issue in the past," Odom said.
Theresa Rivera, a firefighter/paramedic who works with Licurse at the Rialto Fire Department, said she was ready for the physical elements because she played basketball and softball through college.
"It's not just physically demanding, but emotionally demanding," Rivera said.
Rivera, a Rancho Cucamonga resident, has known she wanted to be a firefighter since she was 5 years old. And because she grew up around two brothers, living in a fire station with men is second nature.
The women do get their own bathroom and sleeping area in the stations, but they're no different than their male counterparts in terms of job expectations.
Colton Fire Department spokesman Tom DeBellis said his agency had a woman firefighter up until about a year ago. Firefighter/paramedic Annalisa Laube left for a fire agency in Colorado. She came up through the ranks, starting as an Explorer.
"I didn't look at her any differently except that she got to use a different restroom than the rest of us," DeBellis said. "I don't want to say she was one of the guys - she was one of the crew."
But it is difficult to ignore how outnumbered women are.
Licurse said she is often the only woman in out-of-town training classes. And occasionally she runs into long-time firefighters who take awhile to adjust to a woman.
They also feel they have to lift more weights in the gym and work harder in the field.
"In the back of my mind, is there a part of me that thinks I have to prove myself? Absolutely," Rivera said.
But despite being a rarity in the field, Licurse considers firefighting the best job she's ever had.
"If we can reach out to women," she said, "then we might be able to provide them one more career path that they might not have considered."

A. The cause of clubfoot is unknown. While it can coexist with other conditions, most babies with clubfoot are otherwise healthy. Clubfoot affects about one baby in every 1,000 live births. Fifty percent of babies with clubfoot are affected in both feet, and males are affected slightly more often than females.
A. Heredity does seem to play a role in the occurrence of clubfoot, but the exact cause is still unknown.
A. Doctors at TSRHC treat clubfoot with the Ponseti casting and French physical therapy methods. Our goal is to help the child's foot rest flat on the ground and be flexible and pain-free. Because the tissues below the knee are affected, the clubfoot will always be a little shorter in length than the other foot, and the calf will always be slightly thinner than the other calf. Bracing and splinting are important in preventing your child's foot from reverting back to the curved position.
A. Babies with clubfoot should develop normally. Casting, bracing and splinting should not interfere with your child's development and must be continued to prevent recurrence of the clubfoot.
A. Clubfoot, once treated, should not limit your child from participating in many athletic activities.
A. At least 94 percent of clubfeet treated with the Ponseti casting and French physical therapy methods achieve good initial correction. Recurrence may require repeat casting, repeat heelcord release or alternative bracing. If the clubfoot still cannot be maintained in a corrected position, surgery may be required.
A. Bracing and splinting is a vital part of both the Ponseti casting and French physical therapy methods of treatment. In the Ponseti casting method, the brace is comprised of two shoes held together by a bar. After the final cast is removed, the brace is used full-time, except for skin checks and bathing, for three months and then for 12 hours at night and during naps until at least 2 years of age. In the French physical therapy method, plastic below-knee splints are used full-time in conjunction with taping until at least walking age and then at night until at least 2 years of age.

- About Plattsburgh
The Learning Center professional staff and Academic Personal Trainers would be happy to attend your class, club meeting, or floor program to lead a workshop on academic skills. The workshop can be tailored to a specific concern or present more general study strategies. All workshops are interactive, encourage participation, and focus on student concerns.
To schedule a workshop, contact Karin Killough, Director.
Recent workshop topics include:
The Goal Setting and Time Management Workshop helps you set the right tone for the semester.
With the guidance of your workshop leader, you will work through a series of activities to help identify your own academic and personal goals. Then, your workshop leader will model how to create an individualized plan to reach your goals.
The workshop helps you to "see" your blocks of time. Throughout the session, you'll learn tips and techniques on how to better use that time to balance all of the different time commitments that are crammed into a college student's schedule.
Since this session does focus on your schedule, please bring your course syllabi with you.
The Strategies for Success Workshop provides an overview of the simple and basic tools for learning every student should know.
In order to better use your time preparing for lectures and studying for exams, it's helpful to know how you learn best. The Strategies for Success Workshop starts with a simple inventory to help identify your strengths as a learner.
Once you know how you learn best, we'll focus on applying what you learned to tried and true strategies for success.
Your workshop leader will model two tried and true techniques for effective studying. The Cornell Notetaking System helps you take organized, detailed notes during lectures and class discussions. SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review) is an easy method to getting the most out of those expensive textbooks.
Plus, throughout the session, we will discuss tips and hints to success offered by our peer tutors and professional staff members.
And, just in case you forgot where the workshop started, Strategies for Success focuses on you and your learning style. The challenge is to adapt the techniques and tips we model to how you best learn.
Exam preparation should be an ongoing process and not a last-minute cram session. Think about it. The more you interact with material the better you are able to retain and use the information you learned. Making the Grade: Preparing for Exams helps you make preparing for exams a regular part of your study schedule.
While regular studying and use of academic supports (the professor, your peers, in the class, and of course our tutors) is essential, it is also important to recognize that each type of test calls upon different strategies for success.
Short answers, essay prompts, and multiple choice options all ask us to process and produce information in different ways. Attending this workshop will give you the basic guidelines to successful test-taking strategies for the three most popular exam questions.
Sometime during your academic career here at Plattsburgh State University you will be asked to write a research paper. In the Research Writing and Citing Workshop, your workshop leader will take you through the essentials to begin a good research paper.
This interactive workshop highlights the essential pre-writing steps to a well-researched paper. From when to start to what to do, each step is identified, explained, and modeled in this no nonsense approach to the research project.
In addition to taking you through the basic steps of writing a research paper, the workshop leader will also provide you with an essential guide to on-campus contacts who can help you at every stage of the research writing and citing process.
The following sites can offer you assistance (in the privacy of your room) regarding how to manage your time between socializing and studying and how to better prepare yourself for classes and exams.

What is Jared Taylor doing on WABC?
From the November 10 edition of WABC's Curtis Sliwa Live:
From the Anti-Defamation League's overview [1] of Jared Taylor:
Jared Taylor (also known as Samuel Jared Taylor) founded The New Century Foundation, a self-styled think tank known primarily for American Renaissance, a white supremacist journal and companion Website. The journal, which Taylor edits, promotes pseudoscientific studies that attempt to demonstrate the intellectual and cultural superiority of whites and publishes articles on the supposed decline of American society because of integrationist social policies. American Renaissance generally avoids the crude bigotry and stereotyping characteristic of many other racist publications and Taylor himself personally refrains from anti-Semitism.
Born: September, 1951
Residence: Oakton, Virginia
Organization: The New Century Foundation
Publication: American Renaissance
Education: B.A. Yale University, 1973;
M.S. Institute of Political Studies, Paris, 1978
Ideology: Intellectualized white supremacy
Books: Author of Paved With Good Intentions: The Failure of Race Relations in Contemporary America (1992) and Shadow of the Rising Sun: A Critical Review of the Japanese Miracle (1983); edited or contributed to various other books, including Essential Writings on Race by Samuel Francis (2007), Race and the American Prospect (2006), A Race Against Time: Racial Heresies for the 21st Century (2003) and The Real American Dilemma: Race, Immigration, and The Future of America (1998)
Affiliations: Taylor is on the editorial advisory board of Citizens Informer, the newspaper of the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens [2], has contributed to The Occidental Quarterly a racist journal, and has been a member of the Board of Directors of the National Policy Institute, a racist "think tank."
Taylor promotes his views by attacking racial, ethnic, and religious diversity, which he calls "one of the most divisive forces on the planet" and therefore "dangerous." Through speeches delivered at the biennial American Renaissance conferences; books, pamphlets, and articles; and public appearances via mainstream venues, including television shows and universities, Taylor promotes the idea that racial segregation is "natural" and society is best organized along racially homogenous lines. He maintains ties to a variety of racist organizations, publications, and individuals, both domestic and international, and many of North America's leading intellectual racists have written for American Renaissance or have addressed the biennial American Renaissance conferences.
