Mike Duffy billed taxpayers "inappropriate" costs for attending funerals, the RCMP allege in new court documents that also accuse the suspended senator of diverting money to fund "illegitimate expenses" such as a makeup artist.
The PEI politician is facing 31 criminal charges laid July 17 by the RCMP, who have accused the Conservative appointee to the Red Chamber of misspending. His first court appearance is Sept. 16, but a trial could take until the fall of 2015 to begin.
On Monday, the RCMP offered more details on these charges in an Ottawa court filing, and the documents show the Mounties have flagged five of Mr. Duffy's expense claims for attending funerals "and related ceremonies" between April 10, 2009, and March 2, 2012.
These claims "contain false or misleading information," the court filing says. It's not clear precisely which expenses the RCMP are targeting, but current Senate rules say a senator may only claim travel expenses for attending the funerals of dignitaries, senior government officials, parliamentary colleagues and other VIPs.
In Monday's court filing, the Mounties allege Mr. Duffy committed fraud by "awarding consulting contracts in favour of Gerald Donohue," a friend. They also accuse the senator of taking public money earmarked to be paid to Mr. Donohue and instead funnelling it to three other individuals for services the Mounties deem "illegitimate expenses."
In these cases Mr. Duffy is charged with three counts of fraud not exceeding $5,000 and breach of trust.
The three included Ashley Cain, who worked for Mr. Duffy in May, 2010, but is now employed in the correspondence unit of the Prime Minister's Office, which she joined in late 2011. One source said Ms. Cain answered e-mail and handled correspondence for Mr. Duffy back in 2010 and a second source described her as a "temp."
The Prime Minister's Office said this was news to them. "Ms. Cain worked for Mr. Duffy in 2010. This is the first we are learning of any of this," Jason MacDonald, director of communications for the PMO, said.
"That said, we are not aware of anyone other than Mr. Duffy who is under investigation or who has been charged in this affair."
The senator also hired Jacqueline Lambert, a professional makeup artist, in 2010, the RCMP said. Ms. Lambert, whom Mr. Duffy would have known when he worked as a journalist at CTV, said her work for Mr. Duffy was pretty simple. "I did a makeup job. I got paid. That's all," she said, adding that the RCMP gave her only last-minute notice that she would be mentioned in the court filings, "like half an hour before the phone started ringing."
The third individual was Mike Croskery, the Mounties said. The RCMP didn't explain what work he performed and Mr. Croskery couldn't be reached for comment, but a source familiar with the matter said he was hired to work on a fitness project designed for Canada's aging population.
The total charges Mr. Duffy faces include 15 counts of fraud for amounts totalling more than $200,000, 15 counts of breach of trust and one count of bribery. The senator maintains his innocence and said he looks forward to a fair hearing in court, where he will mount a vigorous defence.
As revealed last week, the PEI senator has been charged with bribery due to the $90,000 he received from former Harper chief of staff Nigel Wright to pay back improperly claimed expenses – even though the Mounties did not charge the ex-aide for writing the cheque.
Mr. Duffy's lawyer has threatened to drag the Prime Minister's Office back into the matter by showing that PMO officials coerced the senator into accepting the money, which was used to reimburse taxpayers. It's possible Mr. Harper could face pressure to give testimony, legal experts say.
The Duffy investigation began with a probe of housing allowance claims for an Ottawa home that the senator said was not his primary residence but the RCMP alleges was in fact his main dwelling.
It grew far beyond that, Assistant Commissioner Gilles Michaud of the RCMP's National Division said Thursday, to include expenses charged to taxpayers for personal or party-related travel, the awarding of consultant contracts where funds were allegedly used for personal gain, and the circumstances under which the senator asked for, and received, $90,000 from Mr. Wright.Report Typo/Error

Whelen to title sponsor European stock car series
Published July 1, 2013, Page 32
It is the largest sponsorship that NASCAR has brought to Euro-Racecar since it struck a licensing deal last year to lend its name and logo to the stock car series.
The Connecticut-based company plans to use the series to boost its business in Europe. Phil Kurze, Whelen vice president, said its sales representatives will attend events and take government officials to races in Spain, Germany, France and England. It took a similar approach with its sponsorships of NASCAR's Mexican and Canadian series and saw it boost sales in those markets, Kurze said.
Kurze said Whelen opted to sponsor Europe's stock car series rather than a road racing series, which is more popular in Europe, because it wanted to highlight the fact that it's an American company.
"Being an American manufacturer and associating with American-style racing is more appealing for us than being with F1 or another series," Kurze said.
The deal highlights NASCAR's increasing involvement with the Euro-Racecar Touring Series. When it cut its licensing agreement with the series last year, NASCAR did little promotion of the deal and press coverage was muted. But since then it has raised the possibility of holding an exhibition race in Europe to promote the Euro-Racecar series and American stock car racing overseas.
NASCAR also has begun using its relationship with the series as another asset to pitch to its existing sponsors. Sherwin-Williams and K&N Filters have both signed on to sponsor the series, and NASCAR plans to bring five more partners to a race in France this week.
"There are three or four main reasons [NASCAR is involved]," said George Silbermann, NASCAR's vice president of regional and touring series. "No. 1 is to increase awareness of the NASCAR brand. No. 2 is to create new opportunities for existing and new partners."

Impact of Food Price Rise on School Enrollment and Dropout in the Poor and Vulnerable Households in Selected Areas of Bangladesh
This study has explored the impact of the rise in food prices on the education of children in the poor and vulnerable households in Bangladesh. It appears that during early 2008 the prices of rice, pulses and edible oil increased tremendously which threatened the status of food security of these poor and vulnerable households in Bangladesh. As a result of the price hike, significant percent of households were forced to cut their consumption of rice, pulses and edible oil. The households who could maintain the level of consumption of rice unaffected, they could do so at the cost of reduced consumption of other non-rice food items or/and by reducing the non-food expenditure, i.e., expenses on their children education. High percentage of households experiencing dropout of their children were observed because of the price hike of food items as most of the households could not continue to bear the expenses on their children's education. A significant proportion of these dropped out children were engaged in different jobs with the aim of contributing to their household income. In this sense, the opportunity cost of sending children from these poor and vulnerable households appeared to be high. In all cases, the female headed households turned out to be affected more than their male counterparts. The poor and vulnerable households under consideration employed several coping strategies to combat the adverse effects of food price hike, and 'becoming more indebted by taking loans' turned out to be the most widely used coping strategy.

THE trust which runs Basingstoke hospital has been fined hundreds of thousands of pounds for repeatedly failing to control the gut infection Clostridium difficile.
Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has a yearly limit of 21 cases of C Diff before clinical penalties are imposed.
At the end of the third quarter, in December, the trust had already exceeded that target, with 33 cases of the infection.
With a financial penalty of £55,000 for each breach imposed by health watchdog Monitor, the trust has already paid out £660,000, and it faces further fines should more cases be reported in the final quarter of the financial year.
Speaking at a meeting of the Council of Governors, trust medical director Doctor Andrew Bishop said: "C Diff is an ongoing issue in clinical care. What is becoming clear is that trying to understand the causes of C Diff is difficult.
"Around 40 per cent of people who come into hospital will have this bug in their guts."
Hospital patients are particularly prone to the infection. The use of antibiotics can cause the infection to thrive, because it will kill harmless bacteria in the gut as well as any bacteria that originally caused an infection. The removal of this harmless bacteria can allow C Diff to flourish.
Dr Bishop said: "What we have to be concerned about are the instances in which the infection is picked up in hospital."
He reassured the Council of Governors that these instances were "vanishingly small", according to research the hospital has carried out.
The meeting heard that hospital bosses are concerned at the impact the fines are having on the finances of the trust.
The trust, which runs Basingstoke, Winchester and Andover hospitals, is lagging behind its own financial plan with a deficit of £0.1million – £2.8million behind the planned surplus of £2.7million.
David French, financial director at the trust, said: "The problem that we face, in common with a lot of trusts, is that for every case over and above 21, we face a fine of £55,000.
"This has a significant effect on our profits."
Hospital bosses have been in discussion with the health watchdog about whether the fines are fair, the meeting heard.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/6/2013 (1525 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
How sweet it is to have a crossing guard like Bob.
Known for wearing costumes each day as he safely guides children across the street, Bob Sweet was surprised Wednesday morning when he was joined in costume by about a dozen Grade 8 students from St. Ignatius School and their teacher, Pat Barnson.
Sweet wore a kilt and leather jacket as he escorted kids dressed as a milk jug, whoopie cushion, ghost, Darth Vader, monkey, Goofy and vampire at the corner of Corydon Avenue and Harrow Street.
The days of another school year are winding down, and so is his career.
Sweet, 66, will retire next week after 11 years as an adult crossing guard for the kindergarten-to-Grade 8 school.
Though his last official day is the last day of school, June 28, the kids decided to show their appreciation as a group on Wednesday.
"This was a bit of a shock (to see the kids in costumes), but it sure is nice," said Sweet, who was clearly astounded when the students walked up in a group wearing their costumes. "My plan was to make everybody smile, make everybody happy."
A school assembly was held Wednesday morning during which Sweet and principal Glen Palahicky, who has transferred to Morden, were lauded with songs, poems and stories by students.
"Bob's creativity just brings a sense of joy and welcoming for the kids," said Palahicky, who will be the vice-principal at âcole Morden Middle School. "He keeps them safe and it's our own little Disney World here. When the kids get to see those characters (costumes) they can relate to, it just puts them in a good headspace for the rest of the day here at school for learning."
Sweet started wearing costumes as another way to stand out in the crowd and alert motorists that children are crossing the road, but it immediately became part of his regular routine as the students adored him for it.
"It's put a smile on our faces every day," said Chas Meadows, 14. "Maybe we're coming to school kind of grumpy, but when we see Mr. Sweet, you just start smiling because he's such a funny, happy guy. Our group is lucky; we had him here since we were in kindergarten."
Alice Hamilton, 13, had to raise her voice to be heard amid honks from cars showing their appreciation as they passed the costumed crew.
"It's nice to see him every morning that I'm walking to school, and it's been fun to be able to say I'm from the school where the crossing guard dresses up. Lots of people have heard about him," Alice said.
Barnson, wearing a leopard costume, said the fact her middle-school students got up extra early showed how much Sweet means to them.
"They thought it would be cool to dress up in solidarity with him one morning. It was a Grade 8 decision to do this, and I think it's great."
Sweet won't be retiring from the costume-wearing business, as he has another gig lined up.
"Laughter Without Borders," he said, indicating the T-shirt he was wearing under his leather jacket. "I'll be clowning around."
He'll be showing up at events as a mascot or wearing costumes for kids' birthday parties.

The Eileen Gray Daybed, along with the Bibendum Chair, is directly attributed to the work Eileen Gray accomplished while commissioned by fashion designer Suzanne Talbot for her Parisian apartment in Rue de Lota. The Eileen Gray Daybed and her work with Talbot, also known as Madame Mathieu Levy, is considered the turning point for Eileen Gray in her formal and expressive language. This Eileen Gray Daybed, though the contemporary design is a re-edition, is another example of Gray's opulent take on the stark modernist aesthetic. Until her death, Eileen Gray was fairly unrecognized for most of her career, but is now regarded as one of the most influential 20th century designers and architects.
Eileen Gray will be remembered for her unique ability to design furniture using a wide variety of materials. Her use of wood, steel, glass, and lacquer to create geometrically abstract objects was magnificent. Though much of her ability was unnoticed during her lifetime, many of Eileen Gray's works are available as reproductions.
The impact of such designers as Le Corbusier, Jean Badovici, and Marcel Breuer on Eileen Gray's life can be seen through many of her designs that were installed at the E-1027 house in Roquebrune, near Monaco. Her famed Bibendum Chair and adjustable glass table were two of the furniture pieces that were designed specifically for this home.
Made In Italy.
Dimensions: H 16 1/4" x D 33 1/2" x W 75"; SH 16"
Materials: Upholstered daybed with tubular chrome frame. Hardwood internal structure with polyurethane foam. Upholstered with leather.

CAMPAIGNERS from Bolton will protest outside the Royal Courts of Justice in London over allegations of police brutality.
Justice4Bolton will meet outside the courts on July 22 to challenge the findings of a report by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
The group was set up to defend protesters, associated with Unite Against Fascism, who faced activists from the English Defence League during a demonstration in Victoria Square in 2010.
Pensioner Alan Clough from Radcliffe was arrested during the event after it was claimed he hit a police officer, but the case against him was dropped when video footage, in its unenhanced version, emerged allegedly showing him being struck by police.
Insp Cantrell was charged with perverting the course of justice, but the charges were dropped when prosecutors offered no evidence against him, having seen enhanced video evidence.
The IPCC decided there was no case of gross misconduct by Insp Cantrell.
Mr Clough is challenging this decision through the courts, and justice4bolton will lobby the hearing later this month.
The group is also calling for the publication of the IPCC review, which has not been made public.
Mr Clough said: "I was surprised at the conclusions of the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
"Having remained patient throughout the last four years and putting our faith in the IPPC to get justice, I am now very disappointed with their decision making.
"I have been left with no option but to ask the courts to review the matter."
A spokesman from IPCC said when outstanding misconduct processes are finished the investigation report will be made public.
He added: "This case was referred to the CPS and has been subject to consideration for charges and two criminal proceedings, following which a misconduct process has started but then been further interrupted by a legal challenge by the complainants.
"While we sympathise with their frustration at the time taken for this process, the delays in this case cannot be attributed solely to the IPCC.
"The investigation identified performance concerns about a number of officers and found there was a case to answer for misconduct by an inspector. Our findings have been shared with the complainants.
"At the conclusion of outstanding misconduct processes the investigation report will be made public, as is our usual process."

Only Large Amounts Of Clothing For Ms. Taylor Swift
"It wasn't a career decision—it's just a life decision. I like wearing pretty dresses and I like trying out new styles but I don't feel comfortable taking my clothes off. I wouldn't wear tiny amounts of clothing in my real life so I don't think it's necessary to wear that stuff in photo-shoots."
—Taylor Swift explains to The Telegraph why you'll never see her naked or in skimpy clothes, in person or in a magazine. Apparently, a few years back, she said, "I don't want people to think of me as sexy." Personally, I think this is reverse psychology. That's exactly what makes her so appealing to dudes like Jake Gyllenhaal. [Telegraph UK]

I have had a great interchange from a subscriber to The Hot Aisle:- Darek Wichniewicz of ATM SA in Warsaw, Poland. Darek is looking for some real technical advice on building a new Data Center facility of 2000 – 3000 square meters utilizing fresh air cooling. Like many Data Center operators Darek is concerned about being too innovative with fresh air and taking risks that won't work and require rework later at great cost.
"But for my technical department the main questions are: Is it possible not to use air condition? In case of failure of "fresh-air cooling" idea, will we have to add normal coolers later with more effort and cost?"
The first important fact is that using fresh air to cool computer equipment is more common than you would think. I have examples of where this is commonplace:
- Many vendors expect their equipment to be used in office environments without raised floors and dedicated air handling units. There are hundreds of thousands of small companies who have a few servers installed in a cupboard or in the corner of the office, all running at ambient temperature. The big difference between equipment located in an office space and in a dedicated data center is packing density, the number of KW per square meter.
- Telecommunications companies have used fresh air cooling for decades for their network equipment in telephone exchanges. Vendors manufacture most of their computer products to operate in this environment. Telecommunications companies specify operating temperature ranges up to 50 Celsius (122 F). Telecommunications companies expect power densities of 0.5 – 1.5 KW per square meter.
- At BT we constructed 106 21st Century Data Centers that work on fresh air cooling. These are not design studies but real live sites delivering service to customers. There are a large number of articles already on the Web that describe the design and operating principles. Green Data Centers, Efficient Data Centers, Sustainable Data Centers.
How practical is fresh air cooling? Depending on the location of your site and the maximum year round temperature the answer is very practical. But in almost any location, it is possible to reduce the amount of air conditioning required provided that the external temperature is cooler than the temperature of air exhausted from your equipment for at least part of the day.
Darek continues with some specific information and questions:
"Our planned data centre is located in Warsaw, Poland so expected average daily temperature is 16-19 degrees Celsius (in summer)." – (61-66 F)
My research shows that average maximum temperatures in Warsaw in the summer are actually 24 Celsius (75F). At this temperature it is perfectly possible to run fresh air cooling year round. Power densities of 1.5KW per square meter are practical. Fresh air must be delivered via a standard pressurized plenum floor just like a conventional 20th Century Data Center. Rather than using a conventional Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) unit an air handling unit without refrigeration can be installed. It is very important to utilize hot and cold aisle separation preferably using curtains as described in my earlier post.
"According to technical specification of several manufacturers products (servers and telco equipment), we assume that the temperature in our fresh-air cooled data centre (measured in RACKs) must not exceed 40C, and the humidity should fit between 10-80%. We think that maintaining the temperature just below 40C (without air-conditioning) should be just fine for the servers regular operations. Considering your knowledge and practical experience, would you confirm correctness of our assumptions?" (40C = 104F)
Manufacturers specifications are generally for the air temperature at the inlet to the computer equipment not the temperature inside the computer cabinet. Note that higher inlet temperatures tend to cause the temperature controlled fans inside most equipment to operate at a higher speed, increasing the energy used. Provided that exhaust air from the hot aisle is not allowed to mix with fresh air in the cold aisle and that room air handling systems can deliver enough air keeping the inlet temperature well below 40 Celsius.
Humidity control is designed to prevent condensation on cold surfaces (80%) and the build up of static (10%). The absence of refrigeration means that there are no surfaces colder than the air flow making condensation impossible. As input air is warmed going through the room, relative humidity decreases further reducing the likelihood of condensation. Very dry input air is unusual in a temperate climate, usually only caused by refrigeration.
"Could you describe the parameters of the fresh-air cooled data centre you've had dealt with? I.e. avg/max: temp, humidity, power consumption / m2?"
Generally the data center operates at 5 degrees Celsius above ambient. BT 21st Century Data Center designs are 1.5 KW per square meter. There is no humidity control.
"What was the attitude of the equipment vendors concerning warranty terms and conditions, when it came up that the equipment was operating in data center without air conditioning? Were they accepting this innovative approach to meet the environmental conditions?"
Vendors have no option but to provide full warranty on products operated within their operating parameters. BT made it a condition of supply that all equipment would work with inlet temperatures of 50 Celsius.
"Do you have any experience with fresh-air cooled used in Service Provider model? Were they rented to external customers, not only used by the owner?"
I do not believe that the world is ready for fresh air cooled co-location data centers yet. BT was able to use fresh air cooling because the contents were for internal use. Most co-location customers would not have the skills or capability to lay the equipment out efficiently to maximize cooling capacity.

December through April (CLOSED Now): The Kingdom Trails Nordic Adventure Center is located at the Yurt at 2059 Darling Hill Road in Lyndonville. When the winter network is open, the Adventure Center hours of operation are 7 days a week 8:30AM-4PM.
May through October (OPEN Now): Our Welcome Center is located behind the Northeast Kingdom Country Store in East Burke Village in the heart of the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. The Physical address is 478 Rte 114, East Burke, Vermont 05832
Summer Time Parking:
Our main summer time parking is located in a field behind the Welcome Center. After you enter the village and pass the yellow Northeast Kingdom Country Store building, look for our red signs and follow them to the parking area. On weekends, we also recommend parking 1/4 mile south of the village near the Burke Storage Units, located on the right side of Rte. 114, or at the newest parking location next to the Stepping Stone Spa on Darling Hill. There is also parking at the top of Darling Hill, next to the Inn at Mountain View. (PARKING AT THE INN AT MOUNTAIN VIEW REQUIRES A $5 PARKING FEE THAT BENEFITS THE "RESCUE ANIMAL SANCTUARY". ) You can park at East Burke Sports, but please do not park in their "customer parking" reserved spaces if you are going out on the trails.
Please do not park in Ruby Lee's parking lot.
Our summer time trail system basically leaves from the village and utilizes the unique glacial features of both Darling Hill Ridge and Burke Mountain, our local ski area. With very sandy loam soil on Darling Hill Ridge we are able to provide smooth winding singletrack that takes you from panoramic field views to riverside pine forests. We have multiple trails that leave from the summit of Burke Mountain that are more gravity assisted. The trails on Burke Mountain are designed to offer you great singletrack with a bit more technical feel. We build both new trails as well as enhance the ones that exist every year. Your user fee helps us do this by providing summer help and volunteer leaders to accomplish a lot of this work.

Take I-91 North to Exit 23 (Lyndonville) go right off ramp on Route 5 North, take right on Route 114 North to East Burke (5 miles)

In the single sign-on environment, the back-end external data sources and systems are referred to as enterprise applications. For each enterprise application that SharePoint connects to, a corresponding enterprise application definition needs to be configured.
To manage enterprise application definitions:
On the top navigation bar, click Operations.
On the Operations page, in the Security Configuration section, click Manage settings for single sign-on.
On the Manage Settings for Single Sign-On page, click Manage settings for enterprise application definitions.
What do you want to do?
Create a new enterprise application definition
On the Manage Enterprise Application Definitions page, click New Item.
On the Create Enterprise Application Definition page, in the Application and Contact Information section, in the Display name box, type the name that is displayed to users.
In the Application name box, type the name that Web Parts uses to call the enterprise application definition.
Single sign-on components use the application name to specify which enterprise application definition to use.
In the Contact e-mail address box, type the e-mail address that users can contact for the enterprise application.
In the Account type section, select one of the following:
Group. Select this option if users will connect to the enterprise application through a group account. If you select this option, you need to configure account information for the application definition.
Individual. Select this option if each user has an account in the application definition.
Group using restricted account. Select this option if users will connect to the enterprise application through a group that uses a restricted account. If you select this option, credentials are stored separately for regular credentials and a different API is used to access the credentials. Select this option only when all of the following is true:
The account is a group account.
An intermediary application such as Business Data Catalog imposes further security restrictions.
The data is highly sensitive.
In the Authentication type section, select the Windows authentication check box.
Warning: If Windows authentication is not used, the logon credentials are not encrypted.
In the Logon Account Information section, configure each of the Field boxes for soliciting required logon information from users. Selecting Yes for Mask hides the text typed by the user. This helps to keep sensitive information such as passwords secret.
Click OK.
Edit the settings of an enterprise application definition
After you create an enterprise application definition, you cannot modify the following:
application name of the enterprise application definition
account type (group or individual, windows authenticated group or individual, or group using a restricted account)
logon account information fields
On the Manage Enterprise Application Definitions page, click the Enterprise application definition for which you want to edit settings.
Information on each setting is provided in the Create a new enterprise application definition section.

Click OK in the message box asking you if you want to proceed with the deletion.

Top Ten Things I Have Learned As An Entrepreneur
Top Ten Things I Have Learned As An Entrepreneur
April 20, 2010
Liz Handlin
Ultimate Resumes LLC
I have been writing resumes for more than 20 years but I have only been doing it as a full time job for the past 4 years. The past 4 years as a business owner have been a huge learning experience for me. I think that working for big companies gives you a completely different view of the world, particularly if the companies are powerful and prestigious like most of my previous employers have been.
Here are a few things (good and bad) that I have learned from having my own service business:
1. If you care deeply about customer satisfaction your customers will take care of you.
I am very passionate about what I do. Nothing makes me happier than hearing a client say that he/she is excited about the job search because a resume I have written or a strategy I have helped create has made my client believe that he/she can achieve anything. I think most of my clients are excited about the outcome of our work together and, as a result, at least 75% of my business comes from client referrals. I take good care of my clients and they take care of me by generating new business for me.
2. If your clients believe you care about them and are working hard for them they will often be very flexible and forgiving.
We all make mistakes, over commit our time, or screw up in some way. If you demonstrate your passion to your clients they will be much more forgiving than if they think that what you do is "just a job" to you.
3. Some people will try to cheat you out of money or behave badly.
As a business owner I have been shocked and amazed at the way some people behave. I never thought that people could be so nasty, dishonest, and insulting before I started my own business. As an entrepreneur you see this much more clearly than if you work for a big company because individuals who have a tendency to throw their weight around or bully don't try those tricks with big companies. Or if they do, their temper tantrum has a minimal impact. If a client or business contact acts like a big jerk I almost always find out that I am not the only person they have treated that way. People are pretty consistent in their behavior.
4. I am more patient with others in service industries.
Knowing how much I hate being treated badly, "nickel-and-dimed" to death, or insulted I now go out of my way to show patience and kindness to others in services industries whether it's our lawn crew, my hairdresser, flight attendants, or waiters. I also tip waiters and waitresses better than I ever have before.
5. I am very careful about accepting new clients and sometimes I say no to potential clients.
See point #3. I have a 15-20 minute conversation with all potential clients before accepting them because I want to make sure that we can work together and that I actually will be passionate about their resume and job search. If a potential client and I do not connect well then a working relationship could be difficult and counterproductive.
6. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
If a recruiter repeatedly refers me clients who are jerks then I don't accept referrals from that recruiter anymore. Some of my recruiter friends/partners are careful to refer me resume clients who are talented professionals. A few recruiters have used me as a "dumping ground" for any job seeker that they just didn't want to talk to anymore. I have learned to sever relations with those recruiters and not accept their referrals.
7. A deal isn't a deal until its in writing.
When I first started my business I accepted verbal agreements from clients. No more - I have gotten burned a couple of times. Now every client has to agree to terms, pricing, and timing in writing. I have found that clients actually seem to appreciate having the deal in writing rather than an informal verbal agreement so it's a win-win.
8. Get your payment upfront if possible.
I don't think that very many people have ever tried to cheat me out of payment for services rendered but I do believe in "out of sight out of mind". Once the resume is done, if a client hasn't paid, it can take some time to collect. I think there are a couple of reasons for this (a) a lot of people pay bills on a set schedule - I once had a client ask me to wait for payment for a month so he could just write a check to me when he paid his electric bill, and (b) once a client has his/her new resume in hand, the job search can become all consuming and payment for the document is something forgotten. Now I ask for payment in advance and it has worked out very well.
9. Pricing transparency can lead to haggling.
I have tried to be very straightforward about my pricing but sometimes this has backfired and led to clients haggling with me about price. Generally, the more experience you have the longer it takes me to write your resume. Also, the more senior your role in an organization the more times you will come back for edits and revisions - really, you will.
So, I charge more for senior level executives and for individuals with a lot of work experience. I spend a lot of time with each client so if you pay me $400, $500, or $650 believe me when I say you are getting your money's worth. When someone tries to haggle me down $100 or $200 I find it kind of insulting because they clearly don't understand what I do. I now tell clients that if they want to pay a lower price to find another resume writer.
My website is currently being completely redone and instead of including an exact pricing/years of experience grid like I have on my current website I am going to just list a general range and I will give each client an individualized quote.
I have had a couple of clients lie to me about their years of experience just to pay a lower fee. When I found out later I was angry because, of course, these clients wound up taking a lot more of my time than they should have at the lower price range.
10. Ask for written testimonials from satisfied clients.
Written testimonials whether on your business website, Linked In, Yelp, or some other site are a great way for entrepreneurs to develop an online presence and also a great reputation. Written confirmation that you are reputable, honest, and good at your job make it easy for potential clients to validate your expertise.

Scoop: SHARK TANK on ABC - Today, November 9, 2012
A young entrepreneur from Burbank, CA shows how his motorized vehicle suit can take you from walking to driving in an instant. Emmy Award-winning comedy writer Bruce Vilanch demonstrates how a virtual classroom designed by a Key West, FL entrepreneur can teach technology to Baby Boomers. Also, two grandmothers from Yelm, CA hope to make a sweet deal with their sugar free candy chips. And a man from San Francisco, CA tells the real estate-savvy Sharks how his search engine can find homes for sale that will provide high returns.

RESIDENTS on a street in Bradshaw raised nearly £1,000 for Bolton Hospice — by throwing their own party.
People living in Timberbottom held the party on Sunday to thank the hospice for its work treating a number of residents' family and friends.
The event included cake sales, a barbecue, a raffle, ice bucket challenges and children's games.
The street has seen its fair share of parties as residents gather every year to celebrate Christmas and Easter and they have also celebrated The Royal Wedding and The Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
Mother-of-two Sarah Chadwick, aged 37, said: "We have parties all the time on this street. Everyone always gets together.
"We were long overdue a party so we thought of organising one to raise money for charity.
"When we tallied it up and saw how much we'd raised, we were in shock. I'm delighted we collected so much.
"People were just chucking money in for a good cause, which was really encouraging."
The money raised came from the sale of refreshments, raffle tickets and donations from visitors on the day.
Children even came up with their own way of raising money, by charging 50 pence to put cream-filled plates in their dads' faces.
Mother-of-three Jenny Cain, aged 37, said: "It was a brilliant and very successful day.
"Bolton Hospice touches quite a few of us on this street and there's a great community spirit here.
"What we have found from holding this party is that everybody wants to make a difference.
"The support has been unbelievable.
"I think it's something we could do every year."

Metro Council members are seeking an attorney general's opinion on the impact the proposed annexation of the Mall of Louisiana and two hospitals would have on an effort to create a new city in East Baton Rouge Parish.
At issue is whether the petition for an election to incorporate St. George would be invalidated if the proposed boundaries are altered prior to an election.
The effort to annex the mall and hospitals into the city was the main topic discussed at a meeting organized by St. George supporters Tuesday night, attended by about 250 people.
"Literally everything they've done and what they're doing is an attempt to keep this area from voting," St. George leader Dustin Yates said. "We just want this to run its course without interference."
Council members already are picking sides on the annexation proposal, based largely on their views in the battle to incorporate St. George.
Metro Councilman Buddy Amoroso, who attended Tuesday's meeting, said he wanted to stay neutral in the St. George debate, but the annexation petitions filed for the mall, Our Lady of the Lake Hospital and Baton Rouge General Medical Center have pushed him in favor of St. George.
"These efforts are sneaky and underhanded," he said. "I cannot stand for it, and I won't stand for it."
St. George supporters say they fear the annexation would change the city boundaries, as defined in their petition, and thereby kill their effort.
Metro Council member Joel Boé, who wasn't at the St. George event, said his vote on the annexation proposals hinges on the attorney general's opinion. He said he would support the mall and hospitals' annexation "in a heartbeat" if it doesn't invalidate St. George's petition, but has reservations if it does.
"The timing could not have been worse for this to happen," Boé said. "For me, it boils down to trying to protect both sides' legal rights."
He described the annexation vote as having to choose between the property owners' right to petition for annexation and the St. George movement's right to petition for incorporation.
"Either way, one is going to feel disenfranchised," he said. "It's really a no-win situation here."
Opponents of the incorporation effort say St. George's creation will have a negative impact on Baton Rouge schools and city-parish finances. Baton Rouge General leaders cited St. George's threat to Baton Rouge's budget as their reason for seeking annexation.
Mayor-President Pro Tem Chandler Loupe said he won't support the mall or hospital annexations primarily because of the potential impact on the St. George Fire Protection District through the loss of revenue from the mall's property taxes.
But he said he's also concerned about the effect on St. George's incorporation attempt.
"Obviously, that would be another reason that I would probably not support it," Loupe said.
Councilman Ryan Heck also has blasted the annexation attempt, writing in an open letter to city leaders that the St. George effort "cannot be stopped."
Meanwhile, Councilman John Delgado, a frequent critic of St. George, has emerged as the most outspoken proponent of the annexation attempt.
Amoroso said he and Heck plan to stall the annexation petition on the council level. The attorney general's opinion could take a couple of months to receive, and Boé said he doesn't want to vote on the issue without it.
St. George supporters believe they will be safe if they get the required number of signatures in before the annexation is approved.
They need about 18,000 registered voters in the proposed city's boundaries to sign on. They have declined in recent weeks to give the number collected so far, but organizer Joshua Hoffpauir said this week that, at the current rate, they expect to have the signatures needed in four to six weeks.
Yates downplayed the financial hit the proposed city's budget would take if the city succeeds with the annexation effort and St. George loses sales tax revenues from the mall.
Organizers of the pro-St. George event Tuesday night repeatedly stressed the need for those attending to collect signatures. At the end of the meeting, several people huddled around clipboards to sign petitions.
St. George leader Norman Browning stressed that the effort's focus remains on schools. St. George leaders previously lobbied the state Legislature for an independent school district for the area but were told they needed to form a city first.
Browning derided the East Baton Rouge Parish schools, saying "We can't accept any more of 'We're making progress.' We've given them 30 years of chances."
"No longer should our young families, like my daughter's, make the decision of paying private tuition or moving to surrounding parishes," he said. "It's unacceptable."

EVERYBODY has a role in keeping children safe is the message from Wiltshire Council in Private Foster Week.
The council is appealing to people to let them know if they think a child in their community is being cared for by someone who is not a direct relative.
The call to action is part of Private Foster Week as well as an initiative called Somebody Else's Child, which is run by the British Association for Adoption and Fostering and aims to reduce the number of children in un-notified private fostering arrangements in England.
If a child aged 16 or under (or under 18 with disabilities) is cared for by someone other than a close family member (parent, step-parent, grandparent, sibling, aunt or uncle) for more than 28 days, then they are in private foster care.
Legally, the parent and carer must notify the local authority so it can ensure the child is being properly cared for and can provide support where needed.
To notify Wiltshire Council of a private fostering arrangement contact Kerry Osborne on 01225 716510.
For more information visit www.wiltshire.gov.uk/privatefostering or www.somebodyelseschild.org.uk.

Chesapeake Energy
In addition to oil, the natural gas market has the potential to explode. Unlike many stocks in the market it has been a choppy five years for Chesapeake Energy (CHK), but that will change with Gore's proclamation of oil being a bubble market.
Talk about a cheap stock. Analysts expect Chesapeake to grow profits by 30% in 2014. You can buy that impressive growth for just 17 times 2013 estimated earnings. If the market rallies year, you can bet that Chesapeake will be one of the biggest gainers. Gore's call has to be the contrarian indicator of the century.

Bob Chaloupek
Have you ever considered being part of a team that provides one of the most important services in the community? If so, there's a perfect place for you – the Emergency Medical Service. The EMS team is an all-volunteer organization that serves the Fairfield Bay community. The team staff's two ambulances around the clock, every day of the week. Currently, the EMS squad is looking for team members who would like to serve as Second Medical or Drivers.
Each ambulance has a team of three; the Emergency Medical Technician, in charge of the team, a Second Medical, and a Driver. The Second Medical helps the EMT care for the sick or injured and is responsible for recording information pertaining to the ambulance run. They also are responsible for collecting and recording medications and insurance information. The Driver, of course, is responsible for safely transporting the sick or injured to the hospital. They also help the EMT and the Second Medical by managing the gurney and other equipment used in the care of the patient.
No need to worry if you haven't had any previous experience. The EMS provides effective training for all team positions. Along with the training provided, continuing education sessions are conducted monthly. If you have had experience as a licensed nurse or physician, the EMS would ask you to consider joining the team as an EMT.
The most important thing about being an EMS team member is helping the people in your community and the deep sense of accomplishment you feel. In addition, there are many social opportunities with other team members who share the common commitment to serve their community.
"The community is best served by having a well-trained team ready to help in the event of a medical emergency," says EMS Captain Bob Chaloupek. If you have a desire to be a part of this team or to learn more call Bob at 884-6006, or ask any EMS team member about this exciting opportunity.

A PLANNING meeting which will impact on whether Bristol Rovers FC can build a new stadium in South Gloucestershire has been delayed until the New Year.
Bristol City Council had been due to decide on Sainsbury's proposals for a new supermarket on the site of the club's current home, the Memorial Stadium in Horfield, next week.
But in an agreement between council planners and Sainsbury's, the meeting has been cancelled to allow the council more time to consider the effect of a new store on nearby retailers.
Fears have been raised that independent shops on neighbouring Gloucester Road will suffer up to a 19 per cent drop in trade if Sainsbury's is given the go-ahead.
The football club, which won planning permission for a new 21,700-seater stadium on land next to the University of the West of England in July this year, needs to sell the Memorial Stadium before it can build the new stadium.
The planning meeting of Bristol City Council's development control north committee is now scheduled to take place on January 16.
Rovers chairman Nick Higgs said: "Sainsbury's are very professional in what they do and it's their application and not mine.
"They've decided with the city council they'd rather wait until January 16 so when the application is heard by members it is a very robust one."

how to avoid duplicate entries in PHP..while i'm typing a new data to input field then posting my data to page that time how to validate the data alerady in database or not..if the data was already there means the form will ask again enter the name like that.... please help to clarify my doubt
Do you want your form to say "this user name is in use" when you go to create your password field, or when your form is submitted?
If your question is about trapping duplicate entries as they go into the database and handling that particular error:
Make that field in your table "unique", lets call it username.
If you attempt to input another row with a username which has already been used then mysql throws an error number 1062.
You can test for that error and then tell the user to pick another name because that one is "not acceptable" (avoid saying it is already being used).

Let's keep Frank and hire M. Brown as defensive assistant!
What? Mike wouldn't do that? Awww shoot.... certainly it beats doing television.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
"He also stated he expected that if Frank was retained that he expected an upgrade to the bench. Said the Pacers were loose w/ Fronk - too loose! Said players messed around too much & were often late to practice. Said he expected someone (not Frank) who could/ would be more of an stern hand to keep the disipline.
Jim O'Brien as an assistant maybe?
The whole discipline aspect of Frank and players showing up late makes me want mike brown even more now. Mike Brown won't take that crap from the players.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
Not sure how to say this. Can you become more discipline and not damage the established relationships in doing so?
Was it lack of respect or lack of clear expectations and consequences?
With a full camp and removing the interim tag, maybe all of those things fall into place, I guess.
It usually works better with a disciplinarian head coach and a player friendly assistant. It would be interesting to see how Vogel manages the transition, if ever.
I wonder if Bird had to be the disciplinarian last season?
I thought we read that Frank was stepping up towards the end of the season discipline wise. Didn't he go toe to toe with Posey in practice? I don't think I made that up.
Wish I could truck Mike Wells more to tell what's really happening rather than just to stir up things.
I know that you want sunshine and lollipops when it comes to the local media & beat writer reporting.... But, that kind of leaves us all in the dark and a lot of NEWS unreported!!

...Still "flying casual"
Something in the gut says Mike Brown will be offered the job and Bird's last interview with Vogel will be the offer to accept associate head coach.
You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
I really hope there isn't a lockout because this Summer will be huge in terms of improving our team and getting everybody on board with the coaches. I'm all for getting OJ Mayo this summer, he needs out of Memphis badly. I'm pretty sure when they subbed him in the other day and the crowd was booing him. A change of scenery would do that young man some good.
my biggest concern about Vogel is that he is too lax, and what Wells is saying here seems to back that up. Not sure if the same guy can turn that around.
I really don't think I'm making this up, but didn't you turn on this comment a few weeks ago when we read that Frank was acting as more of a disciplinarian?
Edit: It was a Kravitz article. This is a quote from Dunleavy: "As he's gone along, he's gotten more comfortable and figured out what his coaching style is," Pacers veteran Mike Dunleavy said. "At the beginning, he wanted to be overly positive, and that was a good thing. Now he's gotten to the point where he's raising his voice a little bit and cracking the whip a little bit recently."

Anybody want to make a bet that Tyler will put Lance in his place this season?
I don't think Mike Brown is a hard *** either though
Determining factors are....can Vogel secure a head coaching position somewhere else, too much pride if he doesn't, and does he need a job? When unemployment is staring at you and your options are limited I would think Frank would be willing to listen.
You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
Mike Brown's players quit on him in the playoffs.
What did Frank Vogel's players do?
I think part of it was a "substitute teacher" problem. But I also think as the year went on he got sterner. (Stickup up to Posey, punishing AJ for missing shoot around, punishing Lance for whatever he did, getting into the guys in the locker room) And that it was a growing experience for Vogel. He knew when he got the team he needed to be positive. But like a bunch of young guys would do, without a leader, they took it too far. And then he realized he had to be hard on them sometimes. They liked him, but they needed to learn to respect him. And I think it was obvious at the end, that they did.
I remember Roy Hibbert saying that when Frank gets mad and yells, they listen. Because it means something. Guys will tune out a dictator.
Then add in Roy's comments about Frank being the coach of the year, Danny saying he wanted Frank to be the head coach, and someone saying that Tyler Hansbrough would "run through a wall for Frank" Makes the decision all too obvious for me.

2014 Salt Lake Magazine Dining Awards Honor The Best Restaurants in Utah

Some renew call for building new lockup in Fayette
Fayette County spent close to $1 million in a 14-month period on jail rental fees paid to other counties, prompting some prison board members to point out the need for a new lockup.
"The writing's on the wall here," Commissioner Vincent Zapotosky said at a board meeting Wednesday. "We're making payments for somebody, and the taxpayers need to understand that we are supplementing Greene County's budget."
Fayette spent $873,813 over the past 14 months to house excess prisoners elsewhere, according to Controller Sean Lally.
The county prison can hold a maximum of 262 inmates. The county pays rental fees that range from $55 to $78 per day per inmate at other jails.
Fayette has so many inmates in Greene County's prison that Greene won't accept any more, Warden Brian Miller said. Greene is holding 62 of Fayette's inmates, he said, because the Fayette jail is near capacity with 251 inmates.
If he needs more cells, Miller said he will ship inmates to Cambria County at a cost of $55 per day. Westmoreland's prison is not an option, he said, because its rental fee is $78 daily.
"We're getting them out as fast as we possibly can, but you get 10 out, and you get 20 in," Miller said.
Overcrowding could become worse because the courts have implemented a new system that allows constables to serve summary warrants after regular business hours, Zapotosky said. There are 5,000 such warrants waiting to be served.
Commissioner Al Ambrosini said a new prison would allow for implementation of various programs aimed at reducing recidivism. The existing jail cannot accommodate the programs, he said, which include those aimed at addressing mental health issues and drug and alcohol addiction.
"That is our opportunity to help these people, to get them to understand why it is that they made bad decisions," Ambrosini said. "We can teach them, we can counsel these people; help them get back on track, instead of going through the revolving door that is our prison."
The programs were identified by a prison working group examining ways to improve operations at the jail. Some of the issues the group is addressing are finding a location for a new prison and identifying possible revenue streams to pay for it.
Ambrosini said the group intends to present its findings to the prison board by the end of the year or by early 2014. If a new prison is approved by commissioners, he said it could be built and ready to open by 2015.
Miller asked the board to consider allowing constables to be hired to guard inmates who are hospitalized. He said having officers guard such inmates, especially when they must go to Pittsburgh, typically results in overtime costs of at least $30 per hour.
The board directed Miller to put the request in writing so that it can be reviewed by their solicitor. In addition, board members suggested that Miller look into hiring more part-time officers to cut back on other overtime costs.
Sheriff Gary Brownfield said the county paid $39,000 in overtime to corrections officers over the last two pay periods.
