Norwegian Students Who Want to Study Social Work at Augsburg, welcome!
THe BSW Program each year receives students from Norway to study social work in America. Students come from schools in Harstad, Bergen, Oslo, Trondheim, Fredrikstad and Molde. You may be acquainted with someone who has spent a term here in Minneapolis.
The International Partners Program, previously headed by Dr. Nadia Christensen, is often the first contact for students seeking to come to Minnesota. After you are admitted as an international student, your time at Augsburg is coordinated by the Office of International Programs, the International Partners Program and the Social Work Department (which handles your academic and field work).
Norwegian students after being accepted into the Social Work Department, need to complete a required information form to be used by the Social Work Department to establish the student's human services experience (and interests) and thus make a proper internship placement. We want the study done at Augsburg to truly add to the career experience of our Norwegian students.
Norwegian students will have an Orientation to the Program within two weeks of their arrival to receive an overview of the program, an explanation of which departments to approach with concerns, and a general question and answer session.
Norwegian students questions about their field work will be handled by the BSW Field Coordinator. Other program issues will be addressed by the BSW Program Director or Department Chair.
General Facts on How the U.S. System Differs From Norway:
The undergraduate social work degree study in the U.S. is only 2 years, not 3 years.
Class attendance is mandatory
There are many, periodic, small exams, then a summary final exam–not one BIG exam at the end of the course (Norwegian students prefer the U.S. exam method after adjusting to it).
Most US students are 20 or 21 years old and not as independent as Europeans.
The US undergraduate social work degree is a general degree. Students specialize in an area of practice their senior year.
So, for those of you who want to test your English, return to the BSW main page and work your way through. And those of you who would rather read in norsk, please visit the Paa Norsk Norwegian Pages.
Takk og vi sees!

Praise for Lotto's commitment to resonsible gaming
International praise for Lotto NZ's commitment
responsible gaming
Internal Affairs Minister Hon Peter Dunne today announced that Lotto New Zealand has received international recognition for its commitment to providing a safe gaming environment.
Lotto New Zealand's responsible gaming programme has been officially certified to Level 3, out of four possible levels, by the World Lottery Association under its Responsible Gaming Framework.
"Lotto New
Zealand provides safe lottery and gaming products that
allows New
Zealanders to play and win while contributing money back to the community. This
international certification is a testament to the focus that Lotto New Zealand places on providing a gaming environment that encourages responsible play and on
continually improving the services they provide their players," says Mr Dunne
Lotto New Zealand is one of just two lotteries in the Asia Pacific region to receive Level 3 certification for its responsible gaming programme. On-going work to continuously improve its practice has elevated its programme from Level 2 in 2009.
Recent initiatives introduced to strengthen Lotto New Zealand's responsible gaming programme include dedicated problem gambling training for retailers and the introduction of additional tools and information in-store for customers.
"In 2013, Lotto New Zealand transferred over $200 million to the Lottery Grants Board for community purposes. Lottery funding is the major source of funding for Creative New Zealand, Sport New Zealand, the New Zealand Film Commission, and more than 3,000 community organisations and projects each year.
"This speaks highly about the way Lotto NZ provides safe gaming products that millions of New Zealanders enjoy every week while at the same time making a significant financial contribution to a vast array of sporting, cultural and heritage activities in our communities.
Lotto NZ is to be congratulated in receiving this international endorsement that recognises this high practice standard and contribution," says Mr Dunne.
Background information:
About the World Lottery Association (WLA): The WLA is a member-based organisation that sets the international benchmark for responsible gaming. The WLA represents over 140 member lotteries from 90 countries on five continents. WLA membership is exclusive and requires adherence to a responsible gaming code of conduct.
The WLA's Responsible Gaming Framework: To obtain certification, member lotteries submit their responsible gaming programmes for review by an Independent Assessment Panel made up of international experts from the field of corporate social responsibility.
Each programme is assessed on 10 core elements: research, employee education, retailer training and support, game design, online gaming, advertising and marketing, player education, treatment referral, stakeholder engagement, and reporting and measurement.
Level 3 certification denotes a responsible programme with strong planning, development and implementation of responsible gaming initiatives.

Yin and Yang
Has anything been even hinted at in regards to how Yin and Yang Releases are made? I'm assuming not, but I thought I'd ask. o3o Skitts (talk) 20:24, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
- With the exception of Yamato, Kakashi and Naruto's conversation during his wind release training and the explanation of what the chakras were used for (form and life etc) I don't think so. Yamato was going to explain it in regards to other techniques but didn't bother.--Cerez365™ 20:37, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
- That's what I figured; thanks. Skitts (talk) 20:43, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
shouldnt it be mention that Itachi-san said that every ninjutsu can be countered? 126.96.36.199 (talk) 20:35, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
- That's really a given.--Cerez365™ 20:37, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
- Pretty sure all Itachi said was that every technique has a weakness, not that it could necessarily be countered. The best way I can think to illustrate the difference is Flying Thunder God Technique. Allows for instantaneous teleportation. The weakness of that technique could be said of its limiting of teleportation to the marked objects, but that doesn't mean it can be countered. Skitts (talk) 20:39, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
- wth are you talking about? Itachi said any tech had a weakness, which means it can be countered. O_o 22.214.171.124 (talk) 02:00, January 7, 2012 (UTC)

Khloe Kardashian Adresses Lamar Odom's Release From The Dallas Mavericks [VIDEO]
TMZ caught up with the wife of former Dallas Maverick Lamar Odom, Khloe Kardashian, in an airport and she addressed Lamar's current status. The Mavericks and Odom reached a mutual agreement this week that it would be in the best interest of both parties if they simply cut ties with one another. With that, Odom is left playing for no team this year in the NBA and will have to wait until next season to join another NBA team.

Mom-to-be Kim Kardashian was photographed in Miami Beach, Florida on Sunday (January 6). The reality star wore a white bikini and cover-up robe during a beach photo shoot.
Earlier that same day, the brunette beauty was seen arriving on a flight into Miami. And on Monday, she was spotted stepping out with her pal Jonathan Cheban.
Just hours after Kanye West spilled the beans at his concert December 30, Kim confirmed their pregnancy news the following day.
"It's true!! Kanye and I are expecting a baby," she confirmed.
Sources tell TMZ that an overseas tabloid has offered to pay $3 million to obtain the photos of the 'Kimye' baby. And reportedly, that's just one of the multi-million dollar offers coming in.
One source says the couple has no immediate plans to sell the first photos. Will there be a bidding war until their baby arrives later this year?
Will the paps get the first shot? If so, will the image sell for six figures? Seven figures?

The Mitsubishi Outlander gets a new look for 2010, which it needs to raise its profile in a highly competitive class that includes the Toyota RAV4, the Honda CR-V and improving models from GM. To accomplish this, Mitsubishi has given the Outlander a love-it-or-leave-it grille and a heavy payload of available features and electronic goodies.
Appearance: The Outlander's gaping front grille resembles its sporty road-racing cousin, the Lancer. But where the Lancer looks aggressive or even angry, the Outlander looks more like it's yawning. The SUV features somewhat menacing-looking headlights and bulging wheel wells. Peter found its mix of angular and rounded lines sporty while Lyra found that same mix ugly.
Interior: Unlike some SUVs in this class, the Outlander seats seven, but only if you're desperate. The third-row seats, which are compact and stow into the floor, are not very useful. Lyra found them flimsy and uncomfortable, even for her 6-year-old. And the tall headrest flaps block the driver's view. The leather first- and second-row seats are comfortable, however. There is an attractive blend of materials, with a "soft touch" faux-leather dash and door panels with detailed stitching. We both liked the ample headroom and the climate control's air filtration, which is great on pollen-filled days. Families: There are nine cup holders and 12 storage nooks. We liked the useful split-gate tailgate, where the top opens upward, like a regular hatch, but the lower half opens like a pickup tailgate, giving it floor-level access for easy loading.
Performance: The ride is tight and controlled. The Super All Wheel Control transfers power to the wheels as needed to combat loss of grip. The 3.0-liter, 230-horsepower V-6 has more than enough get-up-and-go, and the Sportronic six-speed transmission shifts smoothly. Lyra found the ride rather bland, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. We liked the manual-shift option, and the magnesium paddle shifters are heat resistant. For our scorching summers, that's an appreciated touch.
Our 3 favorites
Peter Couture
Gadgetry: Real-time traffic navigation, a 40-gig hard drive and FUSE hands-free system.
Rearview camera: They are becoming more common. Good.
Pump it: The 710-watt Rockford Fosgate audio system has nine speakers.
Lyra Solochek
Cargo access: The rear tailgate makes loading easier on your back.
S-AWC: Better grip, smoother ride.
Crisp gauges: The white-on-black gauges and LCD info display are clear.
The bottom line: Peter found the Outlander's features and sportiness to be a pleasant surprise. (But it might be trying too hard with the third-row seat.) Gadget buff Lyra liked all the goodies but was underwhelmed by ride and styling.

If you are a developer, you can grab the update from Apple's iOS Dev Center, and get to work.
If you're not a developer, we would suggest waiting it out for the official release of the iOS 7 software, which is scheduled for September 18th. It may be safe to install it early, but there have been reports that Apple has been bricking devices that are running iOS 7, but aren't tied to a developer account. So, really the risk is yours.

A BLACKBURN schoolgirl has embarked on a two-week trip to China after winning a 'Flash Fiction' competition.
Lucy Lamoury, 16, scooped a short scholarship to study at Beijing International Studies University after writing an impressive piece of prose describing a summer day, using 100 Chinese characters.
She entered the Mandarin contest, run by UCLan, after her dad spotted an advert for the competition in a car park in Preston.
UCLan professor Feixia Yu said her final entry was 'excellent work for a GCSE student' and a 'wonderful piece of writing.'
One hundred characters equates to about 80 words, Lucy said.
The Westholme School pupil, who has just completed the Mandarin GCSE, flew out to China with dad David last week, where she has been taking language lessons and seeing the sights.
Lucy, who lives near Southport, said: "It's been really really interesting. I didn't know all that much about Chinese culture and history so it's been great to see all these amazing places, like the Summer Palace and the Great Wall.
"There's been language lessons in the morning and then we've had the afternoons free to go and see things.
"It feels bizarre almost to see them in real life and using chop sticks has been a new experience for me.
"I'm thinking about continuing with Mandarin because I like languages and I realise that China is an up-and-coming place and economy and I want to get involved."

I asked a group of teachers, "When you need information, what do you do?"
Think about the question yourself…what do you do? Do you ask colleagues? Look at encyclopedia? Throw in your "Encyclopedia Britannica" CD Rom into your computer?
What they ALL said (all of them) was that they "google it".
The ability to google something is important, but assessing that information is imperative. Many have advocated that students should have the ability to have a device during exams. Wouldn't that create a better test? Finding the information is important, but what you do with the information is where the rubber really hits the road. If I can google the answer to the test, is the assessment any good?
If you think about it, how many adults go to a textbook to find information? Honestly, why do we even teach with textbooks anymore? Because they are engaging and mirror what we see in the real world or because they are the easiest way to deliver a packaged curriculum? Nowhere outside of schools is "science" that packaged.
Now, when I think about how I look for information, "googling" something is not on the top of my list. Often I ask the question on Twitter and get fewer results which are always better, because they are researched and used by teachers that I have connected with. Can anyone do that at this moment? Probably not, but I have taken the time to develop a network of educators that has actually saved me time in the long run. The time spent following and learning from other educators has been invaluable to my work and is actually a "21st Century Literacy":
Build intentional cross-cultural connections and relationships with others so to pose and solve problems collaboratively and strengthen independent thought.
I also have learned where to get information on specific things such as hotels. Searching google might lead me to the hotel's website and let me know what the people who own the place think of it but Trip Advisor tells me what people who have stayed at the establishment think of the place. How many hotel websites say that their establishment is just "ok". Sites like Trip Advisor keep many organizations "honest" and actually forces them to produce a better product. Having a "name" as a hotel is no longer enough; you have to back it with quality. If you aren't using sites like this already, what information are you losing out on?
I have thought a lot about this topic when I saw the following quote:
"When we teach a child to deal with a changing world, she will never become obsolete." Seth Godin
The technology will always change, but the skill to find information, make sense of it, and then do something meaningful with what we have learned, is essential.

Nevin Sagstetter, a 16-year-old from Zimmerman, is alive today because one of his coaches knew how to perform CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). His parents and a doctor agree on that.
Nevin's story provides a powerful, practical lesson for schools and families: The more people who know how to do CPR, the better.
Rick Peterson, Nevin's cross-country coach at Spectrum High School in Elk River, told me about what happened on Sept. 22.
"We had been practicing for about 30 minutes, about a mile from school. Suddenly, one of his teammates waved.
"I saw that Nevin was having significant difficulties breathing. He appeared to be having a seizure – breathing very sporadically. Then he stopped breathing. I began doing CPR. One of the other coaches called 911. The first responders arrived within six minutes of being called."
Fortunately, Peterson had worked for Allina as a paramedic and paramedic manager for a total of 17 years. He had responded to medical emergencies before – but not with one of his students in full cardiac arrest. Peterson noted that all of Spectrum's coaches are required to have training in CPR and use of AEDs (automatic external defibrillators).
Is this important?
"Absolutely. I worked in the field long enough to know that these kind of emergencies can happen to anyone at any time. I recommend that every educator and parent be trained in CPR," Peterson said.
Dr. Patrick Inveen, a HealthPartners family medicine doctor with whom I discussed this case, agrees that knowing CPR is very valuable. He told me: "This coach saved the student's life. He would not have survived if they waited for the first responders. The first few minutes are critical."
Vanessa Spark, Spectrum's executive director, believes what happened "is a miracle."
"All of those people worked together. Then there was continuing prayer support from parents and students. Spectrum is a close community — you really saw people come together," Spark said.
Tom Sagstetter, Nevin's father, told me: "We are so grateful to the school, the paramedics, doctors, the cross-country team and his classmates. We give thanks to God."
Tom explained that three weeks after the incident, Nevin had not yet communicated with anyone. He was in his hospital room with his mother, April. Doctors had advised them to keep music or movies going constantly. April asked if Nevin liked the movie that was playing, which was "Miracle," about the U.S. men's hockey team that won an Olympic gold medal.
Nevin said, "Yes!"
As Tom pointed out, "That was the first response he had given us since the event."
Along with praising others, Tom noted: "Nevin has worked so hard. We are so impressed with his effort. He has an implantable pacemaker and defibrillator. He's started running again."
Nevin told me a lesson he's learned: "Live life to the fullest while you have the chance."
He also said he is grateful Peterson knew what he was doing that fall day.
Tom reflected: "Appreciate all the little things. We have so much
to be thankful for, considering where we started. Every day we learn more about what Nevin can do. Each day he does things better and faster than he did the day before. I've also learned to appreciate patience."
Tom also has advice for other parents: "Hug your kids every day. Appreciate every day you have with your kids. Be thankful. Miracles do happen. Have faith."
Peterson told me that events like this one are "very, very uncommon but they happen."
"The more prepared you are, the better," Peterson pointed out. "It could make the difference between life and death."
What better reason for educators and parents to learn CPR?
Joe Nathan, is a senior fellow at the Center for School Change. Reactions are welcome at [email protected] forschoolchange.org.

What Are Your Feelings on Forced Mingling?
Recently I attended a 60's themed party at a friend's house. The house was decorated, the drinks were plentiful, and the guests wore costumes. Sounds like the perfect recipe for a fabulous party, right? Wrong. Nobody really knew anybody at the event, and everyone hung out in cliques on the outskirts of the kitchen. Instead of being awesome it was awkward. The hostess in me was dying to organize some sort of forced mingling: a card game, introductions, dancing... anything to get the party going. Although I believe in making your guests feel comfortable, if your friends from college refuse to talk to your friends from high school, it's your duty, as a hostess to encourage the flow of conversation between all of your guests. I've been known to choose names out of a hat for teams in a pool tournament, require that everyone play a drinking game, and force friends to sit Spanish-speaker, English-speaker, Spanish-speaker. In my opinion it's up to you as a hostess to make things go smoothly and if you have to force invitees to mingle, do so.
How about you? Have you ever done something crazy to get your party started? What are your feelings on forced mingling?

Yep, the gang at Jazzercise actually WANTED me to get up and front of a class and run the show. So I did. I'm not going to say I changed the landscape of Jazzercise forever, but I'm not going to say I didn't. I think I have a future in it….yeah right!!
When the class started I asked anybody who thought they were in better shape than me to step forward. Every person stepped up without hesitation, like the Rockettes. Very funny! An hour later, I realized just how right they were!
Thanks to everybody at Jazzercise for being so nice (and merciful)! I had a great time. If you've never tried Jazzercise, you should give it a shot. Great workout, great feeling of teamwork and a great time!

Fat-Free Bean Salad Recipe
Ruth Beitelspacher of Aberdeen, South Dakota notes, "I recently made this salad to serve at a turkey barbecue. It was just as big a hit as it was for our son's confirmation dinner some 40 years ago." Her trim treatment of the timeless sweet-and-sour beans doesn't cut down on flavor one bit.
- 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) French-style green beans, drained
- 1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups chopped sweet onions
- 1 cup sweet pickle relish
- 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1. In a bowl, combine the green beans, kidney beans, onion, pickle relish and green pepper. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar and sugar; mix well. Pour over bean mixture; toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Serve with a slotted spoon. Yield: 8 servings.

A Guide to High-Yield, High-Risk Stocks
Expand Messages
- The classic image of the stock market is that of a place where fortunes are made and lost throughout the course of the day, and where those who take the biggest risks are rewarded by a hefty payout when all is said and done. Of course, this is the movie version of the market no matter how thrilling the day-to-day dramas of investment trading become, they'll never compete with the images of the stock market that have been created for the silver screen.
There is a small grain of truth to those images from the movies, however those individuals who choose to deal in high-risk stocks can make a lot of money if they handle the risks correctly. If they don't, however, then there's a good chance that they could lose their entire investment.
Below you'll find more information on the world of high-risk (and high-yield) investments, including ways to help insure yourself against major losses when dealing with higher levels of investment risk.

On Oct. 25, 2000, LDS President Thomas Monson, then president of the Council of Twelve Apostles, spoke at the Coalition for Utah's Future, Common Good Awards Luncheon.
In part he said, "When we have eyes that see and ears that hear, and hearts that know and feel, we will recognize current trends and current needs of our fellow beings among us who cry out for help. How do they eat without food? How do they keep warm without clothing? Without shelter? How do they live without means? How do they get well without doctors, medicines and hospitals? I believe that when we face our Maker, we will not be asked, 'How many positions did you hold' but rather, 'How many people did you help?'"
These words seem particularly pertinent to Gov. Gary Herbert and Medicaid expansion. I urge the governor to accept increased funding for Medicaid to help those Jesus Christ called "the least of these." Medicaid expansion would save money by preventing and treating medical problems early on instead of using the emergency room and would create thousands of jobs.

NORTHWESTERN DISTRICT -- After being named a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics school by the Ohio STEM Committee earlier this month, the school board decided new classes will be offered to enrich the students at Northwestern Middle School and Northwestern High School.
"Our comprehensive plan is to increase and strengthen our STEM programs in the middle school," Superintendent Jeffrey Layton said via e-mail. "It goes hand-in-hand with our recent STEM school designation and pursuit of additional funding to further strengthen our rigorous, project-based curriculum in these the STEM areas. ... We have several business partners and post-secondary institutions as partners in these efforts."
During the same board meeting, the board approved the creation of a full-time middle school science STEM teaching position and a part-time high school math position.
"These position moves are the result of much planning and discussion and align without progressive expansion of STEM programs in our middle school and high school," Layton said.
The full-time STEM position will be taught by middle school science teacher Lee Kimmich, and will specialize in biology, engineering, sustainable energy, architectural design, agricultural business, entrepreneurship and technology, according to Layton.
When it came to hiring an additional teacher for math courses, Layton said the school has had record numbers enrolled in higher-level math classes.
"We have the most students ever enrolled in our pre-calculus and dual college credit calculus courses," he said. "We anticipated this after drastically increasing the number of students completing Algebra I in the middle school over the past several years. This is a very nice problem to have and a solid reason for adding a part-time position. Programs are solidified, STEM programs are more uniform, and we have more firmly entrenched more rigorous science, technology, engineering and math programs as a result."
The district has nine STEM courses through Project Lead The Way and three courses offered in the middle school in which students can receive high school credit.
In the future, Layton said the middle school and high school want to create a renewable energies program and expand the environmental science program.

Operatunity launches their 2014 Daytime Concert Series!
Operatunity launches their 2014 Daytime Concert Series!
The Daytime Concert Series presented by
Operatunity is proud to announce its 2014 season of variety
We present 8 brand new shows running throughout 2014, each with their own unique theme and flavour, including The Life & Music of Glen Miller; 3 Tenors & a Soprano; 100 Glorious Years of Song; Modern Musicals;European Romance; Hits of the 50s & 60; Rodgers & Hammerstein and Friends, as well as Christmas at the Proms.
To find out more about any of these concerts, visit our website www.daytimeconcerts.co.nz
Operatunity is owned by husband and wife singers Susan Boland and John Cameron and in its 13 years has built up an enviable reputation for presenting high quality professional concerts throughout New Zealand – including special music events outside of the Daytime Concert Series, including recently, an opera gala concert inside the Waitomo Caves!
Click for big version.
Artists from left to right: Susan Boland, David Kelly Andrea Munro, Elisha Fa'i-Hulton, Matthew Landreth, Derek Hill, Bonaventure Allan-Moetaua & Cameron Barclay
One of the major aims of the company is to provide work for New Zealand artists both established and up and coming in accessible variety concerts in eight national tours annually.
"We are a country who has a proud tradition in music and per capita have one of the highest concentrations of people involved in music, choirs and attending concerts, as well as numerous singers enjoying busy professional careers both in New Zealand and internationally" Says Susan Boland Managing Director. "This comes as a big surprise to many people as we have such an emphasis on sport both in profile and funding and there is little funding for the arts. It has a lot to do with the can-do attitude we have where if we are told we can't do it, we do it anyway."
This attitude also accounts for the success of Operatunity, all the more impressive, as with no arts funding the company has been built with hard work and innovation to be the busiest touring company in New Zealand with 210 concerts per year as well as one of the largest providers of employment for New Zealand artists.
With over 50 people employed by Operatunity, both part time and full time, annually this company is an arts entrepreneurial success story.

News Wrap: Sectarian Violence Continues in Iraq With Car Bombs in Baghdad, Basra
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
HARI SREENIVASAN: A wave of sectarian killing across Iraq left at least 95 people dead today. It was the worst single day of violence there in more than a year-and-a-half. Ten car bombs went off across Shiite neighborhoods in Baghdad. At least 48 people were killed and more than 150 wounded in those attacks.
Car bombs also targeted Shiites in the southern city of Basra. Elsewhere, Sunnis came under attack in areas north and west of Baghdad. In all, more than 240 people have been killed in Iraq since last Wednesday.
There's word today that computer hackers in the Chinese military have resumed attacks on U.S. companies and government agencies. The New York Times reported that today. There had been a lull of three months after industry and Pentagon investigations identified the Chinese unit involved. The report cited security experts who said the hacking is back up to 60 percent to 70 percent of the rate it was previously.
There was more today on the IRS targeting of conservative groups and what and when White House officials learned of it. Presidential aides confirmed that White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler was told April 24th about a special audit into IRS activities. She, in turn, notified the president's chief of staff, Denis McDonough, among others.
But White House Press Secretary Jay Carney says Ruemmler advised against telling President Obama because the investigation was still under way.
JAY CARNEY, White House Press Secretary: That was the — her opinion that she expressed to other members of the senior staff, that this is not the kind of thing, when you have an ongoing investigation or an ongoing audit, that requires notification to the president, because what is important is that we wait until that kind of process is completed before we take action.
HARI SREENIVASAN: Carney said again the president was not informed of what the investigation found until news reports surfaced 10 days ago.
A congressional investigation has found that Apple Incorporated avoid billions in taxes through a web of offshore subsidiary companies. A Senate committee reported today that between 2009 and 2012, the tech giant shifted at least $74 billion dollars out of the reach of the IRS by incorporating in Ireland. Apple says it is the largest taxpayer in the U.S. at six billion dollars and its strategies are legal. Its CEO, Tim Cook, is expected to testify at a Senate hearing tomorrow.
Boeing's new 787 Dreamliner is airborne again in the U.S., four months after being grounded over battery issues. United Airlines flew one of the new jets on a Houston-to-Chicago route this morning. The company said its Dreamliners will resume international flights next month. In January, the worldwide fleet of 787s was grounded after incidents of the lithium ion batteries overheating and smoldering. Boeing ultimately redesigned the battery and its charger.
Wall Street had trouble getting off the ground today. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 19 points to close at 15,335. The Nasdaq fell two points to close at 3,496.
Those are some of the day's major stories — now back to Judy.

The 'Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows' lead looks dapper in three-piece brown suit, while his co-star glams up in a backless dress at the special screening taking place at Regency Village Theatre.
"Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" has been premiered at the Regency Village Theatre, California on Tuesday night, December 6. Among the cast members that stole the spotlight at the special screening event were lead actor Robert Downey Jr. and co-star Rachel McAdams.
Robert looked sleek in a three-piece brown suit and tinted glasses. He was spotted arriving together with his pregnant wife Susan Downey, who showed off her baby bump in a sequin little black dress. The married couple were inseparable as they hit the black carpet.
Rachel, meanwhile, became the belle of the ball with her glamorous look. The 33-year-old actress dazzled in a backless floor-length tailed dress by Marchesa that she paired with Jacqueline Nerguizian jewelry and a pair of Christian Louboutin heels. She finished off her look with a simple but elegant hairdo.
Other cast members seen on the black carpet were Noomi Rapace and Jared Harris. Noomi, who plays Gypsy woman Sim in the film, looked gorgeous in sleeveless lace dress that she paired with big earrings. Jared, who tackles villainous Moriarty, opted for a traditional two-piece black suit. Also spotted attending the premiere was director Guy Ritchie, who oozed his masculinity in a brown suit completed with a blue shirt and a bowtie.
Among the celebrity guests on the night were blond beauty Amber Heard and model Jacqui Ainsley. The former kept it simple with a sleeveless white top and a black pants, while the latter brought color to the black carpet by sporting a daring red gown. Hip-hop star Pharrell Williams and veteran actress Jodie Foster were also present.
"Sherlock Holmes 2" follows the famous quirky-mannered detective as he continues his pursuit of Professor Moriarty, whom he suspects to be the world's number one supervillain. In his attempt to solve the case, he gets the help from his long trusted partner Dr. Watson, his older brother Mycroft Holmes, and a gypsy woman named Sim.
The sequel to 2009's "Sherlock Holmes" is also supported by Jude Law, Stephen Fry, Kelly Reilly, Eddie Marsan, Gilles Lellouche, Geraldine James and William Houston. It will open wide in U.S. theaters on December 16.

For the sixth year, financial-services firm Edward Jones ranks highest in investor satisfaction with full service brokerage firms, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2012 Full Service Investor Satisfaction Study.
The study measures overall investor satisfaction with full service investment firms based on seven factors: investment advisor, investment performance, account information, account offerings, commissions and fees, website and problem resolution.
Edward Jones places its branch offices in the communities where its clients — long-term individual investors — live and work. This practice, which enables its branch teams to provide personalized service to all clients, has helped the firm attain the highest score in the "Investment Advisor" category of the study.
Edward Jones also received high marks in the "Account Information" category. Edward Jones' overall score climbed 15 points over last year, highest among the 14 largest firms rated, as well as 28 points above the industry average.
Edward Jones ranked highest in investor satisfaction by J.D. Power and Associates in 2010 and 2009, from 2005 through 2007, and in a tie in 2002, when the study began.

Links to picture(s) of your commissioned item:
Timeline (how long your order took to process): One month
Describe your Experience. Pros, Cons, Comments:
I contacted a few commissioners prior to going with her. To be honest, Ive always been apprehensive about commissioning, because Ive had MANY bad experiences in the past that turned me away from cosplay in general. But, this year, my boyfriend and I wanted to do something special, and the character I wanted to cosplay has a RIDICULOUS cloak. I seen reviews, and a lot of her work on her photobucket account, and that was what sold me. Shell be quiet during the sewing process(which doesnt bother me), so if youre one of those who gets paranoid about their commissioner not giving you updates, just request one and shell tell you how things are going. Her payment plans made me feel more at ease, and the costume itself, when I received it, fit wonderfully, and the quality was breathtaking.
Pros: She was very professional with what I wanted. Sweet, simple and to the point. Along with this, she finished the project very early, and pictures do not do it justice. Communication was very easy, and she did not have any qualms with me contacting her a few times to correct some minor details.
Cons: Honestly I cant gripe about anything.
Final Grade: A+

The Wanted's life is going to be documented on television as they score a deal for a Kardashian-like reality series with Ryan Seacrest Productions for E!. The program will follow the boybanders as they live together in the Hollywood Hills to record their third album and "take on all that LA has to offer." The half-hour series about the boys embracing their fame "to the very fullest with an unapologetic style" will premiere Stateside in June and worldwide this fall.
In an introduction of the band's members, E! says ladies man Max George, who's linked to Lindsay Lohan last year, "is playing the field� and loving it." Funny but elusive Jay McGuinness is completely unpredictable, Tom Parker often leaves a mess due to his energetic temperament, and Nathan Sykes is often left out by the group when they go out because he's not old enough to go into clubs. Finally, Zen-like member Siva Kaneswaran is the peacemaker among them all.
The boys are not worried about revealing too much on the show. "We've always tried to show who we are," George says. "We haven't hid much." When asked if LiLo will an appearance, he laughs, "Elvis could end up being on the show for all we know." Parker additionally utters, "The cameras can just be there to document how stupidly drunk we get and the morning after as well when we're like, 'Oh, s**t! We've got to sing today and I've got no voice'." Kaneswaran chimes in, "I don't think there's anything off limits to be honest�We'll let everything be exposed."
"The rock star lifestyle is something that everyone has fantasized about and The Wanted are giving viewers total access into their world as they live out this dream," said Suzanne Kolb, President of E!. "This series is a perfect blend of music, bromance and superstardom chronicling the lives of one of music's biggest groups as they continue to make their mark on the global stage."
"America has a long history of falling for British bad boy musicians, so it's no surprise that The Wanted are already beloved by legions of fans far and wide," added Seacrest. "This talented and outspoken English-Irish band are setting their own course to fame and this journey is the foundation of the series. It's a road that's bound to include irresistible pop tracks along with plenty of humor, antics and drama behind-the-scenes, which I believe will further ignite fascination and even obsession with these guys."

Question: What have you been up to since you graduated from ENC?
I graduated from ENC in 2005 with a major in E.E. and minors in math and physics. In the Spring semester of my senior year, an adjunct professor invited me to apply for an internship at MathWorks, Inc, where he was a full-time software developer. I applied for and was offered an internship working on MATLAB's signal processing suite of software. While at ENC I never pictured myself much of a software person, but after a few months at MathWorks I decided it wasn't so bad. It didn't take me too long to realize that for the career goals I had in mind, I would need more than just a Bachelor's degree so in the Fall of 2006, I started a Master's program in Electrical Engineering at Boston University. Picking a concentration area was difficult, since I had passions both for circuit design as well as signal processing but after a lot of internal debate, I chose to study Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit design, with an emphasis on signal processing and communications applications (i.e. radio chips used in cell phones).
While studying at BU, I kept my internship at MathWorks on a part-time basis, and when I finished my coursework in the winter of 2007/2008, I was offered a full time position working on software tools intended to help engineers design and model signal processing algorithms on embedded hardware. While at MathWorks, I was able to contribute to a product which, through its million plus worldwide users, truly accelerated the pace of engineering and science. Knowing my work had that kind of impact made going to the office every morning very easy.
In the summer of 2011, my fiancé, whom I had the good fortune of meeting while working at MathWorks, finished her Ph.D. and accepted a position at Sandia National Laboratories in California. As much as I enjoyed my job at MathWorks and as much I loved the city of Boston, I started looking for jobs out West. By early fall, I had accepted a position as a Software Engineer at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory where I currently work for the National Ignition Facility (NIF) project, home of the world's most powerful and energetic laser. Among the NIF's many goals is producing a laser-based fusion reaction which could provide near limitless clean energy production. I currently design and develop software for the integrated control system at NIF which is the second largest and most complex control system in the world, behind only the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
Question: How has ENC helped you prepare for your career?
In the 7 years since I left ENC, I've been privileged to work on some exciting and truly world-changing projects. I don't believe that was by chance; I owe much of my success to the education I received at ENC. The courses I took and people I met helped shape my passions and gave me the tools required to pursue those passions. Of those tools, the most important was the thirst for continued learning. In the rapidly evolving field of Electrical Engineering, what was cutting edge when I was a student 10 years ago is now yesterday's news. Being able to keep up with the latest technology and learn new skills on the fly is an imperative rather than a luxury, and ENC did a good job of preparing me for a lifetime of continuing education.

S.U.I.: Sleeping under the influence
3 comments:
It appears the man was robbed by the law! I think he would have preferred to have been robbed by a random criminal at gunpoint and lost his wallet, then be robbed by the cops for $4,000! DUI law enforcement: the biggest threat to your safety when sleeping alone your car!ReplyDelete
Even when doing the right thing, which is not to drive if you are too drunk to drive, the man was stilled charged with a DUI! Maybe they should also charge someone with a DUI for walking in a parking lot next to a car. They could give them a DUI on the intent to drive drink drunk! Makes sense right??
I heard about this story a couple of years ago and it was my understanding that the technicality that the police got him on (however wrong it is) was that he was sleeping in the driver's seat.ReplyDelete
We all agree that it's safer for someone to pull over if they don't feel comfortable driving but it was my understanding that the lesson to be learned here is to sleep in the passenger's seat or backseat.
Again, I may have my details mixed up or be thinking about another case but it's probably worth looking into further.
Of course these things always tend to vary from state to state.
I think this is bs. A DUI is supposed to be for DRIVING under the influence. I remember in a law class that I took we were told that as long as the keys to your car are within your reach and a cop pulls up you can and will be charged with a DUI. You would think that it would be better to sleep it off rather than try to drive knowing you are too drunk. They are trying to find anyway possible now. They are charging people with DUI's on bicycles, motorized wheelchairs, etc. now days but charging someone with a DUI that is trying to sleep it off is ridiculousReplyDelete

Reaction To James Gandolfini's Death
The sudden death of actor James Gandolfini, a Westwood native, has struck a chord with New Jerseyans thanks to his role as mob boss Tony Sorano drawing reaction from all over.
Governor Chris Christie (R)
"It's an awful shock. James Gandolfini was a fine actor, a Rutgers alum and a true Jersey guy. I was a huge fan of his and the character he played so authentically, Tony Soprano. I have gotten to know Jimmy and many of the other actors in the Sopranos cast and I can say that each of them are an individual New Jersey treasure. Mary Pat and I express our deepest sympathies to Mr. Gandolfini's wife and children, and our prayers are with them at this terrible time."
Senator Robert Menendez (D)
"James Gandolfini was a distinctive, talented actor whose unforgettable performances made him a television icon. Through all of his success, James Gandolfini remained a proud New Jerseyan, a Westwood native and a Rutgers University graduate. His photograph has been displayed in my Washington, D.C. office for years as part of our New Jersey Wall of Fame. I am saddened at the news of his untimely death. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and all who were close to him."
Newark Mayor Cory Booker (D)
"My condolences to the family and all those who loved James Gandolfini — a true NJ Great and NJ Original. RIP."
Rutgers University
"The Rutgers University community mourns the sad and sudden loss of James Gandolfini, a 1983 Rutgers graduate who was inducted into the Rutgers Hall of Distinguished Alumni in 2004. Mr. Gandolfini was a proud and passionate supporter of the university for many years. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Gandolfini's family."
Former Rutgers Football Coach Greg Schiano
"I am sad to hear of the passing of Jim Gandolfini. He was a great supporter of Rutgers Football long before it was fashionable to be so. His generosity in helping us lent relevance to our football program at a time when it was desperately needed. In addition to his acting acclaim, he will be remembered by all Rutgers people as compassionate alum and a great New Jerseyan."
Rutgers University Alumni Association
The Rutgers family lost one of our Hall of Distinguished Alumni members today. Our condolences to the Gandolfini family as we remember this talented alumnus.
Sopranos creator David Chase
"He is one of the greatest actors of this or any time. A great deal of that genius resided in those sad eyes. I remember telling him many times, 'You don't get it. You're like Mozart.' There would be silence at the other end of the phone. For Deborah and Michael and Liliana this is crushing. And it's bad for the rest of the world. He wasn't easy sometimes. But he was my partner, he was my brother in ways I can't explain and never will be able to explain."
Brad Grey, a producer of "The Sopranos"
"Jimmy was one of the most talented, authentic and vulnerable actors of our time. He was unorthodox and truly special in so many ways. He had the sex appeal of Steve McQueen or Brando in his prime as well as the comedic genius of Jackie Gleason."
Actor and musician Steven Van Zandt
"I have lost a brother and a best friend. The world has lost one of the greatest actors of all time. Maureen and I send our deepest sympathy and love to Deborah, Michael, Lily, and all of Jimmy's family.
HBO, which ran The Sopranos
"We're all in shock and feeling immeasurable sadness at the loss of a beloved member of our family," the network said in a statement. "He was special man, a great talent, but more importantly a gentle and loving person who treated everyone no matter their title or position with equal respect. He touched so many of us over the years with his humor, his warmth and his humility. Our hearts go out to his wife and children during this terrible time. He will be deeply missed by all of us."
Edie Falco
"I am shocked and devastated by Jim's passing. He was a man of tremendous depth and sensitivity, with a kindness and generosity beyond words. I consider myself very lucky to have spent 10 years as his close colleague. My heart goes out to his family. As those of us in his pretend one hold on to the memories of our intense and beautiful time together. The love between Tony and Carmela was one of the greatest I've ever known."
Jeff Daniels who performed with Gandolfini on Broadway in God Of Carnage
"If Broadway has a version of a guy you want in your foxhole, Jim Gandolfini was mine. During our time together in 'God of Carnage,' we played 320 performances together. He didn't miss one. Sadly, I now miss him like a brother."
Lorraine Bracco.
"We lost a giant today. I am utterly heartbroken."
Joe Gannascoli
"Fifty-one and leaves a kid — he was newly married. His son is fatherless now … It's way too young."
