With an abnormal psychology degree, there are many personal and professional benefits to be gained. The field of psychology is centered on helping those with mental health problems. Often, this population has difficulty coping with everyday life, such as maintaining relationships, obtaining gainful employment and running a household.
Professionals who work with this population have the opportunity to use their skills and help them lead more fulfilling lives. Counselors and psychologists work closely with their clients and develop treatment plans and strategies to help them cope with their emotional and psychological issues and to adapt to life. Playing a major role and watching clients progress brings great personal satisfaction. Knowing that you are having a positive impact on the lives of others gives your career direction and purpose.
Abnormal Psychology Degree Options and Curriculum
The curriculum for an abnormal psychology program provides you with a solid foundation in psychological theories, practices and knowledge. At the master's and doctoral level, practicums are required to gain hands-on experience in clinical settings.
These internships are completed under the supervision and in collaboration with your instructor. Common college courses in an abnormal psychology program typically include research methods, statistics, and biological origins of mental disorders, social psychology, intervention strategies and mental health laws.
Depending on whether you pursue a bachelor's, master's or doctorate degree, job options include case manager, family counselor, human resource administrator, health team worker, consultant, private practice, teaching and much more
Licensing Requirements
- In Michigan, psychologists are considered independent healthcare workers and are required to attain licensure for practice.
- Candidates for licensure must have a doctoral degree in psychology from an institution that is accredited by the American Psychological Association.
- Candidates must also have completed one and one-half years of clinical work prior to the completion of the doctorate. All applicants must pass the state exam.
- The state exam is computerized and offered multiple times throughout the year at designated locations.
- Once all of this is completed, applicants must also complete 2,000 hours of post-degree supervised experience in no more than two years.
Career Outlook for Graduates in Michigan
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the average mean wage of psychologists in Michigan is $80,000. Projected growth is estimated at 22 percent through 2020.
This percentage is above average when compared to other industries. The demand for psychologists in Michigan is strong in a variety of settings. With the aging baby boomers, psychologists will be needed for assisted living facilities and home healthcare.
With the growing population, psychologists will also be needed to work with the special education population in schools. Private physician offices, medical hospitals, outpatient substance abuse facilities, mental health centers and correctional centers will also have abundant openings.
Psychologists can also obtain teaching jobs at universities, work as consultants for private industry, do research for scientific centers and set up their own private practice. All around, there will be many professional opportunities for psychologists in Michigan.
If you are ready to become a professional psychologist, request information from the schools listed below to learn more. We recommend contacting a few schools to be sure you make the right decision.

Bill, Your opinion piece is so thoughtful that residents would benefit by reading it again. Too bad the El Camino Hospital Board didn't agree with many of your suggestions - increasing the size of the Board, making some agreement with Camino Medical Group, which continues to grow and siphon business away from the hospital, and taking a strong stand over conflicts of interest. Their inaction over the last year will have lasting consequences for all District residents.

Amazing to read this today with El Camino announcing record "profits." It just keeps getting worse and worse.

Caddell and Schoen: the "Democratic" farce continues
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
Y'know the shtick, the two Obama-haters lash out at the president and the Left in the pages of the WSJ but do so under the guise of being "Democrats" so readers are supposed to take their cheap shots to heart because it really, really pains Caddell and Schoen to write these nasty things about Obama. Just like it really, really pains them to go on Fox News and trash Obama.
Today's effort by the duo is particularly rancid: Obama constantly divides America by playing the race card.
I'll let TNR's Jonathan Chait and Time's Joe Klein do the honors in terms of dismantling Caddell/Schoen's lazy fearmongering:
From Chait:
Okay, so we have three pieces of evidence here to support the claim that Obama is deliberately dividing people by race. First, when asked at a a press conference about the arrest of Skip Gates, Obama opined that the police made a mistake. (They do not mention Obama's subsequent, very high profile and successful effort to reconcile Gates and the arresting officer.) Second, Obama wants to seal the border with Mexico only as part of a comprehensive immigration reform plan, in keeping with the beliefs of most immigration experts that the two things can only work in conjunction. And third, his Department of Justice -- whose decisions he does not control -- has decided to ignore the right-wing crackpot obsession with the notion that two black racists may have intimidated voters at an almost all-black polling station. (Even conservatives like Abigail Thernstrom have dismissed this issue.)
And from Klein:
One wonders why Caddell and Schoen have taken this cheesy route. One doesn't wonder too hard, however. The words "free" and "publicity" come to mind. Dick Morris has made a late-in-life living off of this sort of swill. But it's sad: I've enjoyed and learned a lot from conversations with both Caddell and Schoen. Their op-ed does far more damage to the authors than to the President.
UPDATED: The pile-on continues. From Ed Kilgore at The Democratic Strategist:
[I]f they are going to simply ape what their friends at Fox are saying, they need to stop calling themselves Democrats and trotting out their connection to the increasingly distant Democratic candidacies of the past. There's nothing principled or honorable about posing as paper donkeys representing no one but themselves.

Candice was very friendly and my young son seemed comfortable with her straight away. She was very confident when it came to handling my 3 month old baby and his reflux problems. I was instantly reassured that Candice was competent and reliable. I felt happy to trust her with my babies, which was a brand new experience for me, as I had been nervous to hire a sitter before. I would be completely comfortable leaving my very small children in her care. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a highly responsible and personable sitter.
Kavel was wonderful. Chatty, helpful and instantly put us at ease. We are pretty relaxed generally, but Kavel helped us to completely switch off while we were out as we had no worries at all. She even calmed a usually very fussy baby whilst getting ready for bed; we've never seen him like it during a clothes change! Thank you so much for sending Kavel, we will use her again, undoubtedly.
Onna was absolutely lovely. She settled with our 4 month old easily and was playing with the Eldest within moments. She knew exactly what she was doing and is clearly a very experienced, very kind and excellent carer. It was lovely to have such a relaxed person around, I was very confident leaving our two with her and would do so again without a moments hesitation.

Democrats from around the world met in D.C. for an intense and productive week of work from April 24th to 29th.
The week kicked off with the first Voter Symposium organized by Democrats Abroad – releasing the results of our survey to membership on the 2008 election and efforts to guide voters successfully through the absentee process. Result? A strong success rate for members of Democrats Abroad as 4 out of 5 voters were able to return their voted ballots in time.
Keynote speaker Representative and DNC Vice Chair Mike Honda addressed the issues facing overseas voters, and pending legislation H.R. 1739. He was followed by our in-house experts, Gary Suwannarat and Joe Green, who provided both quantitative and anecdotal material from our worldwide efforts to register voters in 2008.
The stateside view was presented by Federal Voting Assistance Program Deputy Director Scott Wiedmann, Bureau of Consular Affairs' Chief Voting Action Officer Elizabeth Gracon and Maryland's Election Reform Director Nikki Trella. They each provided a valuable perspective about the implications at every level for absentee voters.
The Survey Team, led by Gary Suwannarat, Joe Green, and Margo Miller, reflects years of expertise, countless volunteer hours, and a successful track record. The Executive Summary of the Overseas Absentee Voting Survey 2008 Review is available here.
We followed the Symposium with our two-day Democratic Party Committee Abroad (DPCA) meeting. Welcomed to D.C. by Clyde Williams, the Democratic National Committee's Political Director, we had a first-hand opportunity to hear about the DNC's role in supporting our President's agenda and continuing to work closely with all 56 state parties. Two of our newest organizing groups, Chile and Taiwan, led us in the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a stunning version of America the Beautiful sung by Renee Rousseau, joining us from Zurich.
Two new full committees were voted in - Taiwan and Zambia. Our vibrant and active committees are key to our on-the-ground efforts around the world as we build upon the success of 2008 and work towards 2010. We also elected our new officers, and I thank you for your support in this second term as International Chair. I look forward to working our newly elected team:
- Robbie Checkoway, International Vice Chair
- Wayne Weightman, International Treasurer
- Amanda Klekowski von Koppenfels, International Secretary
- Anthony Sistilli, reelected International Counsel
- Patricia Ferrari, Regional Vice Chair for the Americas
- Carmelan Polce, Regional Vice Chair for Asia/Pacific
- Susan Haug, Regional Vice Chair for Europe, Middle East and Africa.
Bios for the members of the 2009-2011 Executive Committee are available here.
Lindsey Reynolds, our Executive Director, is an integral and valuable member of this team. Jody Couser, our Press Officer, will continue to have an important role in our organization.
I hope to build on the success of the past two years, which took Democrats Abroad to new heights. The members of the 2007-09 Executive Committee - Toby Condliffe, Stanley Grossman and Bill Barnard, Robbie Checkoway, Joe Smallhoover and Anthony Sistilli, Leo Perez Minaya and Joe Green, Gary Suwannarat, and Meredith Gowan Le Goff - brought their dedication, skills and vision. Lindsey Reynolds brought state party, networking and fundraising experience to the team; Jody Couser, her professional media expertise. We grew by leaps and bounds, thanks to our global primary and the incredible events you participated in every corner of the globe. We reached more voters than ever before, and made the difference in more races than ever before.
Our meetings on the Hill served not only as a reminder that constituencies go well beyond the borders of our fifty states and D.C. but raised awareness of number of our key issues -- overseas voting reform; reversing TIPRA; amending the WEP; support for the Uniting American Families Act, CEDAW, and a Medicare demonstration project in Mexico – and our ability to be the margin of victory. Our Statement of Record on the problems overseas voters encounter for the Senate Rules Committee is available for download, as is Representative Carolyn Maloney's letter to our members.
A more detailed message about our meetings went to Democrats Abroad members – take a look in your inboxes for "Results of the 3rd Annual Democrats Abroad Congressional Visit".
Lindsey Reynolds , our Executive Director, was instrumental in making these meetings a success and building a very productive week for Democrats Abroad. Ariana Tobias, our intern, joined us for the week, taking time off from her studies in New York to provide assistance wherever needed. And over 50 members of Democrats Abroad from 25 country committees joined us as we made the case for Democrats Abroad. Some photos from our meetings are available at http://picasaweb.google.com/demsabroadphotos.
On the last day of our doorknock, a few of our DA leaders met up with a newly sworn-in Congressman – Representative Scott Murphy, NY-20. This race is one more reminder of our ability to make the difference across the country. And we got there through grassroots events around the world, increasing registrations on VoteFromAbroad.org, following through on thousands of voter problems, state-by-state voter alerts, phone-banking efforts, and much, much more.
And it's already time to get ready for 2010. We all know that we face real challenges in beating the statistics and keeping Democratic majorities in the House and Senate. We can do it by making sure voters around the world participate in these critical Congressional elections. We also know that the interest won't be quite as high as it was in 2008 but that our voters have the opportunity – once again -- to significantly impact any number of races.
As a state party which relies heavily on volunteers, we made huge strides thanks to the leadership at the international, country and chapter levels, and to the dedication of volunteers in every committee around the world. And we were able to fund our progress thanks to the generosity of our donors. Today, we live in a changed world. We can continue to reach more voters through the engaged activism of our members, and by once again making the difference in critical elections around the country. 2010 is just around the corner.
Thank you for your help in making it happen – again.

I was introduced to Action for Older Persons as I researched local resources for my aging mother in 2005. Her health insurance needed to be changed. We went into the AOP office, and met with a most knowledgeable person who simplified all the information and process. I reached out to them again and used the Ombudsman services when my mother was in a skilled nursing facility. It was comforting to know someone else would be at the meeting to support my mother and her concerns. After my mother died and I retired from working with children, I pursued volunteering as an Ombudsman to provide a much needed service. The senior population, as well as children, need a voice and advocacy. And these residents have no idea how much they give in return. They often do not have family to advocate for their needs. They are a pleasure and an inspiration. One example of grace and humor: I was speaking with a 100 year old woman who loved to talk, was so bright in many ways, and who spent her days in a wheelchair and was mostly blind. She was telling me her middle name was Angelica as her mother was reading a book by that title when she was born. The residents next line? "Good thing she wasn't reading dracula!" It is a pleasure to interact with this population! The benefits for the population in elderly care is immeasurable.
I have been involved with AOP for 3 yrs. I also work as a senior caregiver and understand the struggles our seniors face and those of their families. AOP has helped so many in so many different ways, from saving money on insurance, teaching computer skills to allow them to reach out to friends and family with new technology to finally helping when the time comes to go to a nursing facility knowing the Ombudsman will be there to make sure they are safe and comfortable. Shelli & the AOP staff are among the most caring & dedicated individuals I know. I am proud to be part of such an outstanding organization.
I have been volunteering for AOP for almost 4 years. They offer classes in several areas from understanding computers, to end of life issues, to insurance and medicare/medicaid issues and questions. I have found that the classes are helpful to anyone that takes them. The instructors of the classes are very knowledgable and very down to earth.
I just took my very first computer class with Sarah. Not only is she an excellent teacher but the class was so much fun! I left feeling confident and like I could get on a computer. Sarah (the instructor) takes her time, uses humor and makes you actually like being on a computer. I didn't even want to work on a computer but living in the age we do today I was forced into it while my family and friends are all communicating that way now. I will be back to Action to Older Persons for many more classes and tutoring. This is the best agency!
I have been involved with Action for Older Persons for many years. I have taken computer courses with them, done the 5 Wishes program with them, used their experts to find the best medical care plans for some of my elderly friends, used resources in the Elder Ser4vices Book that they publish along with Office for Aging. Action for Older Persons is very important in our community for our Seniors and also for care givers and family members helping their senior parents.
I have been an Action for Older Persons since 1996 as a New York state Certified Long Term Care volunteer Ombudsman. Through the years I have spend a few hours a week visiting and advocating for residents in our local long term nursing home care facilities, Assisted Living, Elder Care Family Homes and currently residents in the Enriched Housing living in senior housing apartment buildings.
Through, the years I have seen the AOP Ombudsman grow and expand to having an Ombudsman assign to each of the different facilities. As a person, who has to use a cane to get around, due to an accident approximately 20 years ago due to a shattered tibia in my right leg along with the main legement connecting the knee to the rest of the right leg, having to be resewed together. Spending two years in a wheelchair I can understand how difficult it can be, when life throws you a curve and you are no longer able to do what you have been doing everyday.
A lot of problems have been resolved, some may seem small but by nipping it while small, the ombudsman has been able to have it resolved at an early stage been able to prevent it from developing into a major problem. Keeping the Communication line open between residents, resident families and facility staff is very important. When the lines have become strained or cut down completely, the Ombudsman as a mediator, however with the understanding the Ombudsman is still advocating for the resident, can assist in keeping the communication lines open between the residents, resident families and facility staff. One thing all agree despite their differences, their shared goal is to have a resident that feels they are getting their needed care, while preserving their dignity and rights as a resident of the facility.
During the 2006 and recent September 6, 2011 floods in our area some of the nursing homes had to be evacuated. Ombudsman made sure that residents of their facilities that were evacuated, were still getting their reasonable needs met. It was a difficult time for both staff and residents. As residents were having to adapt to being transferred to different locations. Through the years from time to time, I have attended some of the AOP Volunteer HiCap program training sessions. This is a valuable AOP program that provides counselors, trained in the different insurance programs available in the area. They assist senior citizens as to which particular insurance programs can meet their needs.
In 2010, I added volunteering in the AOP Elder Friendly Program, evaluating local businesses as to their meeting the needs of Elder customers in our area.
AOP also has a program that tutors seniors in operating their computers along with digital cameras and other popular electronic gadgets.
At their State Street in Binghamton, New York office they have a resource library with all sorts of books and information relating to the needs of senior citizens. Their Broome County Elder Services Guide Book is an excellent resource source that I highly recommend. It is a valuable guide to all the programs and services available in the Broome County area, including needed contact information.
I guess by now you have the message that I'm proud to be a AOP volunteer and through the years I have recommended others to volunteer in assisting the AOP staff so that they can continue to provide these valuable community services. IF you can't donate time, then donate funds. Most AOP services are free covered by state and federal funds. However, due to the effects of the economy, cuts are being made and AOP have been affected through these cuts. AOP staff struggle with volunteers to continue to provide these programs to the Broome and surrounding counties, such as Delaware County. Rosemary W
I was first introduced to AOP when my husband became eligible for Medicare and we needed more information to make an informed choice about health insurance. The volunteer was so very helpful in providing this assistance. I later became more acquainted with AOP while working at a neighboring office. Wow...this organization accomplishes so much and their many services are much needed in our community! The entire staff is truly dedicated to their mission, working as a fine team with outstanding results in all they do. I am proud to be part of Action for Older Persons!
This is my ninth year volunteering with Action For Older Persons as a health care counselor. Kathy and the staff do a great job training us so we can provide free, accurate and unbiased advice to help people navigate the very complex choices they have in selecting their drug and health care insurance. I enjoy meeting many very nice people of our community, but especially helping them save hundreds or even thousands of dollars per year. The positive feedback and the sincere thanks we get from our clients and the AOP staff is what keeps me coming back. John Hussar
I have been involved with AOP for over 2 years. I first learned about the organization through the newsletter published by our local Office for the Aging. AOP was looking for volunteers for the Long Term Care Ombudsman Program. This really caught my attention because I was looking for a good local volunteer opportunity. The traveling distance for the required classes to be certified was the only drawback for me until I learned that I could take the classes through the mail. They couldn't be more accomodating! I have found my role as an Ombudsman both challenging and rewarding. It is always nice to see the smile on a resident's face when the long process has paid off and they finally have their new dentures, hearing aid or glasses. Or there was the reward in knowing I helped to make the final days more comfortable for a resident who needed a medication adjustment. When a resident needs a voice because they are not getting results, that is when an ombudsman can be there to help. Ombudsmen also encourage and teach residents to advocate on their own behalf when possible.
I am always impressed by Action for Older Persons!! They take every opportunity to help educate the older members of our community by offering informational sessions regarding changes in health care and computer courses. They share information regarding how and where their clients can get involved in their community, such as the book reading program at Binghamton University. They are always thinking of new ways to improve the lives of some of the most important people in our community!! We are a better community because of the work they do!!

Fox's Varney has no idea at all what's in financial reform bill
Research ››› ››› TODD GREGORY
Stuart Varney falsely claimed that the insurance industry and credit-rating agencies are "not part at all of this new financial regulation bill -- not part of it at all." In fact, the bill would establish new regulatory structures to oversee the insurance industry and credit-rating agencies.
Varney falsely claims "this new financial regulation bill" does not address insurance, credit-rating agencies "at all"
Varney: Rating agencies and insurance "are not part at all of this new financial regulation bill -- not part of it at all." After warning that "you never know what form the next crisis is going to take," Varney said on the July 13 edition of Fox News' America's Newsroom:
And by the way, Fannie, Freddie, the housing industry generally, plus insurance, plus the rating agencies, they are not part at all of this new financial regulation bill -- not part of it at all.
"This new financial regulation bill" establishes Office of Credit Ratings
Legislation creates Office of Credit Ratings. On June 30, the House passed the conference report to the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. That legislation would establish an Office of Credit Ratings within the Securities and Exchange Commission, which would "promote accuracy in credit ratings issued by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations" and "ensure that such ratings are not unduly influenced by conflicts of interest."
NY Times: Legislation "widens the purview of the Securities and Exchange Commission to broaden regulation of hedge funds and credit rating agencies." A June 30 New York Times article reported, "The legislation also vastly expands the regulatory powers of the Federal Reserve and establishes a systemic risk council of high-ranking officials, led by the Treasury secretary, to detect potential threats to the overall financial system. It creates a powerful new consumer financial protection bureau and widens the purview of the Securities and Exchange Commission to broaden regulation of hedge funds and credit rating agencies."
WSJ: Legislation will "create a new office for oversight of credit-rating firms." A July 12 Wall Street Journal article reported, "[T]he law will also expand the SEC's enforcement powers, create a new office for oversight of credit-rating firms and give the agency more say in its budget. The SEC staff will also have to conduct multiple studies, hire hundreds of new employees, and set aside time to respond to the Government Accountability Office, a government watchdog that has been charged with reviewing the agency and the markets that fall under its purview to determine if efficiency can be improved."
USA Today: Legislation would authorize SEC to inspect, fine, and deregister ratings agencies. A June 25 USA Today article reported that under the legislation, "The Securities and Exchange Commission would inspect the biggest [credit-rating] agencies annually and report its findings publicly. The SEC could fine agencies for failing to comply with financial regulations and deregister agencies that pile up a bad record over time. And agencies would have to disclose how they assign ratings and abide by more conflict-of-interest rules."
"This new financial regulation bill" establishes Federal Insurance Office
Legislation creates Federal Insurance Office. The bill also would establish a Federal Insurance Office "within the Department of the Treasury" that will "monitor all aspects of the insurance industry, including identifying issues or gaps in the regulation of insurers that could contribute to a systemic crisis in the insurance industry or the United States financial system."
LA Times: Legislation would "give regulators new powers" over financial firms, "including large hedge funds and insurers A June 26 Los Angeles Times article reported that the legislation would "give regulators new powers to oversee lightly regulated financial firms, including large hedge funds and insurers." The article further reported that "the legislation provides for a council of regulators that would have the ability to wind down financial institutions that end up in trouble and that are deemed 'systemically significant' -- such as insurance companies."

The investigations involve the criminal division of the US Department of Justice and the Australian Federal Police. The company and a small number of its staff or consultants may face the prospect of criminal charges or other serious criminal or civil sanctions.
Laws that may be examined in the investigation are the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Australian state or federal corporate and criminal laws, including foreign bribery laws which prohibit any benefit being given to a public official to obtain a business advantage.
In response to a freedom of information request, the US Justice Department stated that it was conducting "law enforcement proceedings" involving BHP. In response to questions, the AFP said it had received a formal referral from US investigators and was working "very closely" with them.
The probes are linked to the mining giant's activities in several countries before 2009, including China, Australia and at least two other Asian countries, thought to be Cambodia and the Philippines.
According to a confidential briefing that federal agents gave an international bribery taskforce last year, the AFP has reviewed US files and discovered"suspicious transactions that had been recorded as legitimate business payments" by the company.
The AFP said in a statement that the BHP allegations had been scrutinised by its recently established Foreign Bribery Panel of Experts to ensure they were investigated properly.
A former senior executive close to the company's Olympic sponsorship bid program defended its legal integrity. "There's a good reason no one from BHP is in jail," the former employee said.
Until the latest revelations, public knowledge of BHP's possible exposure to foreign bribery inquiries has been limited to its formal statement to the market in 2010 that it had given the US Securities and Exchange Commission information from an internal probe that "uncovered possible violations of applicable anti-corruption laws involving interactions with government officials''.
At that time, BHP said it was not exposed to possible breaches in China.
The company declined to respond to specific questions from Fairfax Media sent on Tuesday morning about alleged impropriety linked to the Beijing Olympic Games and activities in Western Australia, citing the need to liaise with the SEC before making public comment.
Investigators are scrutinising the activities of BHP in the lead-up to and during the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Between 2000 and 2008, the company spent millions on a major Olympics sponsorship deal and a hospitality package.
According to the resumé of one Chinese BHP employee, it involved "more than 170 VIPs including senior government officials and CEOs of Chinese minerals/ steel industry" .
Some of these chief executives work for state-owned enterprises, meaning they may be deemed as foreign public officials under Australian or US laws.
A US-based consultant, Jet Set Sports, used by the miner in Beijing, was involved in a bribery scandal in 2002 surrounding the Salt Lake City Winter Olympic Games, in which officials were offered inducements.
BHP also supplied materials to Beijing make the gold, silver and bronze medals.
Part of the US inquiry is understood to relate to how transparently expenditure on hospitality and largesse was recorded internally by the company.
A former senior executive close to the company's Olympic sponsorship bid program defended its integrity, saying it was run "upside down and backwards through BHP lawyers".
He contrasted BHP's procedures with that of its main competitor,
The former executive said that all expenditure had been approved at the company's Melbourne headquarters and that the total cost of the Olympic project was less than $100 million.
Another industry source said that BHP had conducted internal investigations into its Beijing program and, as a result, significantly wound back its sponsorship of other sporting events. Among the miner's activities being examined is a deal in Western Australia.
In a confidential briefing last year with officials from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's anti-bribery taskforce, the AFP revealed that its investigators had identified questionable transactions which BHP had disguised as legitimate business transactions.
It is understood that a likely outcome from the US probe could be a negotiated settlement, in which the company might pay large fines and show that it had rectified any internal shortcomings that might have risked law breaches.
BHP has voluntarily disclosed thousands of documents and the results of its own internal inquiries to US investigators, in co-operation likely to lessen any prospective penalty. It is unclear whether the AFP will consider its own prosecution in Australia.
An AFP statement said the agency was "engaged in this [BHP] matter and is working very closely co-ordinating activities with our foreign counterparts and local regulatory agencies".
"Notwithstanding that the AFP does not comment on current operational activities, the AFP has received a referral that relates to the Australian aspects of the US investigation" into BHP.
In reports published several years ago and rejected by BHP, non-government organisations have questioned payments made by the company in connection to now closed projects in the Philippines and Cambodia.
BHP's dealings in Cambodia were the subject of a report by NGO Global Witness in 2008. It detailed reports from the Cambodian press the year before which quoted a local politician describing as "tea money" – a colloquial term for a bribe – the $2.5 million that BHP had paid to a social development fund linked to a Bauxite mining project it later abandoned.
BHP has denied any impropriety in respect of the payment.
Those in breach of Australian anti-bribery laws can be jailed for up to 10 years, while companies can face multimillion-dollar fines.
The US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act has penalties of fines of up to $US2 million and jail terms of up to five years.

Oil temp is a much better indicator of engine condition them water temp. The owner's manual gives a pretty good explaination of this.
Correction, on the N54 at least, coolant cools the turbos. Oil does lubricate them and does carry away some of the heat as a result, but it is the coolant's job to cool the turbos.
The following is right out of the BMW Engine Management Training Document....
The turbine and the compressor can rotate at speeds of up to 200,000 rpm.
The exhaust inlet temperature can reach a maximum of 1050°C.
Because of these high temperatures, the N54 engine's turbochargers are not only connected with the engine-oil system but also integrated in the engine-coolant circuit.
It is possible in conjunction with the N54 engine's electric coolant pump even after the engine has been switched off to dissipate the residual heat from the turbochargers and thus prevent the lube oil in the bearing housing from overheating.

With the focus on understanding the needs of our clients so that we can deliver improved services, we should not overlook the need to understand what we already have to offer as individuals and how we can further develop ourselves to meet the diverse challenges we face.
Mentoring has long been recognised as providing valuable opportunities for personal and professional growth. In the context of Bridging Services: embracing reality, therefore, there has never been a better time to explore the potential for mentoring in the library and information sector. A mentoring program can offer a relationship of support and understanding which effectively adds a personal dimension to career development. ALIA's Mentoring Program in Queensland is making a significant contribution to the development of a highly trained workforce in the library and information sector, with a strong commitment to high quality standards.
This paper highlights the specific benefits for Library Technicians who engage in mentoring, including the opportunities to develop new networks, enhance communication skills and fast track skill development. Research currently being undertaken to better understand the personal and professional learning outcomes of both mentors and mentees is presented, as well as guidance on how Library Technicians can join the upcoming ALIA program.

A TWO-YEAR-OLD has helped Warrington MoneyBox Shop reach a landmark.
Scarlett Houston, from Bank Quay, has become the 100th Warrington Credit Union member after the Warrington Market shop launched in October last year.
Mum Kelly signed her up for a junior account to encourage Scarlett to start saving money from an early age.
Credit unions are not for profit organisations which offer savings, affordable loans and access to money advice for their members as an alternative to banks and other lenders.
Barry Taylor, chairman of Warrington MoneyBox said: "Credit Union membership is for everyone, but we particularly enjoy opening Junior Accounts and helping young people lay down foundations that will help them throughout the rest of their lives."

Black Friday: The Rundown
It's almost Black Friday, which isn't a religious holiday but might as well be because of the fervent displays of passion some people go through. Black Friday, for those who need a little reminder, arrives the day after Thanksgiving when retailers officially jump into the holiday shopping business with a day or weekend devoted to crazy sales. Seriously, people get killed in stampedes of overly zealous mothers who will get their hands on that discounted Xbox, dammit.
We say don't take any major health risks by approaching the angry mobs. Instead, try your luck online. After the jump, a roundup of Black Friday sales, some of which have already started! Starting Friday:
- Miansai: 30 percent off everything from this maker of vintage-inspired jewelry. Think silver bullet cuffs, razor blade charm necklaces (badass), and bracelets made from grosgrain ribbons.
- Lush: The maker of ethical soaps is offering up lots of freebies with your purchases—get a Snow Fairy Shower Get when you spend $50; spend $80 and you get a free pre-wrapped Snow Fairy gift set. (That takes care of someone on your list.)
- Shu Uemura: The Japanese cosmetics company gives you 20 percent off purchases of $50 or more. Use code WISH09 upon checkout.
- Gilt: The loved private sale group is offering deeper discounts on Swarovski and Malo for women, and Borrelli and Robert Marc sunglasses for guys. Get your mouses in position!

A Solver
Problem solving is what I want to do when I grow up. Nothing but problem solving gives me the feeling of pride and accomplishment. There are many problems that we must tackle in our future resource supplies, energy consumption, pollution, war, politics, and possibly extraterrestrials. My skill set best fits with solving the energy consumption problem, which correlates with the pollution problem. I use to refuse to go to the car races because I thought the pollution was unnecessary and ridiculous. This dislike for pollution has steered me towards a career where I could make a difference in the world's cleanliness. My choice to become an Electrical Engineer led me down the path of alternative energy such as solar energy. I want nothing more than to work with solar energy or wind energy because I believe they are the future to our energy security.
I would change the world by reducing the dependency of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are a limited source that we must quickly stop consuming. We can decrease our use of fossil fuels by harvesting alternative energy more efficiently. Electrical Engineers use DC/DC converters, inverters, and especially batteries to efficiently obtain alternative energy. The reason solar isn't a realistic solution is the lack of battery technology. If we had the ability to store solar energy efficiently in batteries the opportunities for power would be endless. Then I would use this technology and give it to people that lack power all over the world.

I enjoy shooting firearms, driving, exercising, cooking, watching movies and listening to music. I can play guitar and know my way around how to work on vehicles a little bit.
Currently working on my writing skills through a blog I have started
I'm also currently in the process of writing a book. An autobiography of sorts, I'm writing about my life and what's happened to me over the past 3 years. I'm pretty excited to finish it. I'm not sure if it will be worthy of publishing, but it's always been a goal of mine to write a book.
I write about my travels as a proffessional driver with updates that include pictures of the places I visit. Check it out.
I'm a very caring giving person, hopeless romantic. I buy girls flowers and nice gifts, compliment them and cook for them, I don't talk down to women , I dont beat them or yell at them, I'm very old school in my ways when it comes to treating my girl. I'm very sweet and sensitive and can talk for hours, about damn near anything. I'm a great listener, I can listen to what you have to say, give you my opinion on it and how I would logically work through it be it a positive or negative situation. I try and give people good advice on things when they ask for my help and opinions.
I'm a very trusting person, I'm honest, I look out for the people I care about and stick up for them. I'm a relationship kinda person, I don't like dating for short period of time, I enjoy having a female in my life.
I don't really have female friends persay ,I don't hang around a bunch of girls, I'm a one woman man, always have been and always will be. I spend most of my time working, 5 days a week, home on the weekends and I like to do things that are productive and entertaining.

Swizz Beatz explains why he went to Harvard Business School
Listen to Swizz Beatz on iHeartRadio
Producer Swizz Beatz is opening up about why he decided to attend Harvard Business School's Owner/President Management Extension Program last month.
In an interview with New York's Power 105.1 radio, Swizz explains that as he's become more business oriented he felt he wasn't getting the respect he deserved. He believed his lack of credentials was one reason people didn't take his business moves seriously.
Swizz also says successful people often "get complacent" with their accomplishments, but he wasn't comfortable with taking that road. He adds that he believes "you have to keep graduating your brand" to be continually successful.
Check out the full interview below:

PHOENIX (AP) -- Bracketed by the Phoenix Mercury's two WNBA championship trophies and her familiar braids, Brittney Griner couldn't stop smiling as her new bosses and the mayor of Phoenix spoke about her arrival in the desert.
With each bit of praise from Mercury president Amber Cox, coach Corey Gaines and Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, Griner's smile seemed to grow bigger, the dimples in her cheeks deepening, her lips peeling back to reveal more and more of her teeth.
Griner is finally a professional basketball player and it's almost as if she can't believe it yet.
"It's exciting to be here, I'm ready to start," Griner said during her introductory news conference at US Airways Center on Saturday. "I wish I could move in tomorrow and start playing."
Griner was sensation during her four years at Baylor, a 6-foot-8 center who became the center of attention with her ability to dunk nearly as easily as men. She's no one-trick talent, though, able to score, swat shots, rebound, dominate games the way few players have in the history over women's college basketball.
So when Griner finished her career at Baylor, there wasn't much doubt she'd be the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft, and the Mercury fulfilled that destiny by calling her name Monday night in Bristol, Conn.
It's been a whirlwind tour for Griner since then, one that ended with full-house news conference after an early-morning flight to Phoenix on Saturday.
"People are interested in this young lady and the excitement around this team is like nothing I've seen in my nine seasons with the Mercury," Cox said.
Griner has to be pretty pleased with what's waiting for her in the desert.
In most cases, the team that gets the No. 1 pick in the draft needs plenty of help, stuck in rebuilding mode with a depleted roster.
The Mercury don't fit that category.
Phoenix has some of the best players in the WNBA, including 2009 league MVP Diana Taurasi, three-time All-Stars Penny Taylor and Candice Dupree, along with super sixth woman DeWanna Bonner.
Injuries caused the Mercury to struggle last year to earn the No. 1 pick and with everyone back healthy, Griner should fit in as just another piece of the puzzle -- a big one at that -- instead of being counted on to carry a team with less talent.
"It's a unique situation coming to a team that already has great players," Griner said. "It's a situation where I can come in as a sponge and just absorb, just learn from great players. I don't have to come in and try to do too much, force it. I can just let it come to me."
The big question about Griner's arrival in Phoenix is how well she'll fit into Gaines' up-tempo style.
Led by Taurasi's quick decision making, the Mercury have been one of the WNBA's fastest teams, getting out on the break and scoring in bunches.
Griner's game since her high school days has been back-to-the-basket, shooting turnarounds, jump hooks or powering her way to the basket for layups and, sometimes, dunks.
A mismatch? No one with the Mercury seems to think so.
"I remember when we first thought we'd maybe have a chance to get Brittney, everyone was saying she wouldn't fit into our system," Gaines said. "The system I learned from Paul Westhead, everyone knows is an up-and-down tempo, but it's funny because the system is really built around a big player, we just never had it. That was the problem and we had to make adjustments ... but now we do one and I think she fits our style perfectly."
Griner certainly doesn't seem to mind the idea of playing at a faster tempo.
"This girl likes to run," she said.
Not to mention score, swat shots, dunk, rebound -- and smile.

He defeated the emperor valerian, whom he kept in captivity for the rest of his life.
This particular preparation of valerian is nepenthe for the nerves.
The first thing valerian asked was that his brother, who was a heathen, might be converted too.
Get her some valerian and some coffee, and come and remove her clothing.
Consequently, instead of hurrying straight to the valerian army, I journeyed leisurely with Courtney to the capital.
They include a saxifrage, a mallow, a valerian, and several Composit.
For a while the home of valerian and Cecilia was like a paradise on earth.
Extracts of henbane and valerian, and oxide of zinc, equal parts.
Upon a coin issued by the younger valerian we see the Sun-God holding a small round object.
The date is usually put at the persecution of valerian in 258.
late 14c., from Old French valeriane, apparently from feminine singular of Latin adjective Valerianus, from the personal name Valerius (see Valerie); but Weekley writes, "some of the German and Scand. forms of the name point rather to connection with the saga-hero Wieland."
