FDIC Issues Removal and Prohibition Order Against Former Minnesota Banker
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) issued a removal and prohibition order against Bradley J. Oeltjenbruns.
Oeltjenbruns was executive vice president of Minnwest Bank South, Tracy, MN.
Oeltjenbruns consented to the order without admitting or denying culpability. The FDIC's action is based on allegations that, between 1997 and 2001, Oeltjenbruns made fictitious loans, falsified bank records and engaged in self dealing.
Under the order, Oeltjenbruns is prohibited from further participation in the banking industry without prior FDIC approval.
The order is attached.

Congress created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in 1933 to restore public confidence in the nation's banking system. The FDIC insures deposits at the nation's 9,182 banks and savings associations and it promotes the safety and soundness of these institutions by identifying, monitoring and addressing risks to which they are exposed. The FDIC receives no federal tax dollars - insured financial institutions fund its operations.

I propose that the winners are allowed to select a player from each team as compensation for being so awesome.
What's the plan in terms of structure?
Well at the very least we'd need another one or two people prepared to organise and sim the thing again. I think it's fair to give it a break for a while, and then maybe later in the year start looking to re-draft.
Join the CW Commentary Discord - https://discord.gg/2cYpfrf
Don't see the reason for the break. The draft will take long enough.
We should be allowed to retain players. Re-drafting everyone is stupid.
Nah, re-draft.
Firstly, the database has changed significantly from what we originally picked, and people would make different decisions, especially towards their retired players. Secondly, half a dozen managers lost interest over the hiatus and I'd rather we replace them with people who'll stick with it.
How big were squads? I'm usually in favour of the option of retaining ~ a third.
Archive all the current threads.
Make up a thread asking for interest. Any current managers who don't say they'd like to keep their squads lose their spots and all their players become free agents.
In favour of new players inheriting an existing side. Give everyone the opportunity to release whoever they please, and then we can draft from the remaining pool.
Need strong interest for this to survive. This competition lost all momentum 2/3rds of the way through.
I've been disinterested because I've been (mis)managing someone else's team. I'd be in if all players were put up for re-drafting.
'You will look very silly said Mr Salteena with a dry laugh.
Well so will you said Ethel in a snappy tone and she ran out of the room with a very superier run throwing out her legs behind and her arms swinging in rithum.
Well said the owner of the house she has a most idiotick run.'
Also keen if there's spots available.

Update issues
1 Attachment(s)
I updated Minion at work today (previous installed version was from Dec. 21, which I'd posted about here) and ran into some new issues.
The download link (which finally works when Google Analytics isn't loaded, yay!) seems to point at an old version. I clicked it 15 minutes ago, downloaded, installed, launched, and was immediately prompted to update again, though the in-app information listed the latest update as being 2-3 days old.
Despite this not being a fresh install, after the second update, I was prompted to select which drives to scan for games... and despite selecting only the C: drive which only contains one WoW install (and zero ESO installs) it proceeded to "detect" addons for 4 WoW installs. "Detecting WoW-4 AddOns" took about 10 minutes to complete.
Now that it finally finished launching, it is indeed displaying 4 WoW installs, all labeled "World of Warcraft". Looking at the folder path for each one, it obviously ignored the part where I told it to only scan the C: drive, as 3 of the installs are on network drives (mapped to drive letters) which explains why it took so long to scan them.
Clicking the "maximize" button not only does not actually maximize the window (it leaves about 30px between itself and the edges of the screen) but also moved it to my other monitor (it was on the second monitor, and moved to the first one).
And updated info re: previously reported issues:
I don't see any misidentifications in the list this time, so that's good, but some addons are still missing. At a glance I think most, if not all, of the addons I previously reported as missing are still missing, but I don't have time to do a comprehensive survey right now.
However, Git repositories and SVN working copies are still not ignored, so that's bad, and I still can't try the "update all" or auto-update features. This really can't take very long to implement. :(
System DPI is still ignored, and font rendering is still not great; note the blobby capital "B"s and "P"s in addon titles, and the general pixellated awfulness of the larger text:
Low contrast is still a problem, but would be much less of a problem if the app scaled with the system DPI setting, since then the text would be larger.
(For reference, when I say "system DPI" I'm talking about the settings you get by right-clicking your desktop, picking Screen Resolution, then clicking "Make text or other items larger or smaller" and selecting "Medium" or "Large". I use the Medium setting; I'd rather use Large, but I can't because it causes too many problems with too many programs written by people who don't know/care about even basic accessibility... a category which sadly includes Blizzard.)
Version number boxes are still too narrow, and the tooltip delay is too long. When the window is "maximized" about 50% of the horizontal space is just blank -- there's plenty of room to show the whole version string when it's long!
Scrolling quickly is still jumpy, and still causes an annoying strobe effect since the mouseover highlight doesn't update at the same time as everything else. Version number boxes and "update" buttons are also affected -- when scrolling from "addons that need updates" (perhaps more properly entitled "lies" :p) to "addons that are up to date" you can see the "update" button and the red/gray version boxes are still shown on the bottom few rows for a noticable fraction of a second before the update routine catches up. However, the addon icons and names update in realtime, so I'm not sure why the whole row isn't updated at the same time...
Typing in the search box is nicely responsive now... but deleting the contents of the search box by holding down the backspace key is very slow, like it's still using the old super-slow code path to filter the list each time the text contents changes while it's being deleted.
Still getting weird cursors (usually <---> resize cursor) when mousing over addon rows most of the time.
The 2nd issue there is interesting. I see that now and will make a bug ticket for it.
Thanks for your feedback and I do appreciate it.

Attached minion.xml and log files; I see several issues in there:
The WoW-2 install is pointing at a PTR client that has not existed on this computer for months. It should be able to quickly identify that the install is gone, and just remove it from the game list. (Note that the Curse Client fails at this too; it keeps wasting time scanning for old PTR/beta installs until I explicitly remove them from its list of detected games. Doesn't seem like it should be so hard to do this right!)
The WoW-3 and -4 installs are on a networked drive that I un-checked on the "which drives do you want to scan for addons" dialog and had also explictly told Minion to ignore during my previous test session months earlier.
As suspected, Bagnon is not being detected because I've removed the optional Bagnon_GuildBank plugin folder:
[2015-02-16 19:48:11.WARNING com.zam.minion.service.AddOnDetectionService checkSavedExist AddOn 'Bagnon' has been manually removed (missing dir 'Bagnon_GuildBank').
Also seeing a lot of entries like this in the log:
[2015-02-16 19:48:11.WARNING com.zam.minion.service.AddOnDetectionService checkSavedExist AddOn 'oUF Phanx' has been manually removed (missing dir 'oUF_Phanx').

And running again; new observations:
It would be nice for the in-app update to have some kind of progress bar. When I click "update now" it just closes itself and there's no visual indication that it's actually downloading or installing the update; I just have to take it on faith and wait a minute for it to re-open, apparently having succeeded in the update.
It would also be nice to be able to cancel the "Detecting **** AddOns" scan on startup, though admittedly probably not in many cases. In my case, I just don't want to spend 10 minutes scanning backup files on some remote networked drive that probably hasn't been defragged in a decade, since as soon as it's done doing that I'm going to tell it to never look at that install again (and maybe even just delete the installation, since I have no idea why there is a copy of WoW in a backup directory... I guess someone just used manual copy and paste when backing up).
When deleting an addon (right-click, Remove Game From Minion) the My Games list briefly shows all installs the client has ever found, including ones I already deleted, for about 1 second before updating to hide the deleted ones.
This also happens when uninstalling an addon (right-click, Uninstall) except that in this scenario the list does not update again to hide the deleted games, and continues to show them until I mouse over them; deleted games are hidden when moused over.
Edit: Also happens when updating an addon by clicking the "Update" button. Probably happens when using Update All too but I can't test that because 99.99999% of the suggested updates are either obviously wrong or would overwrite a Git repo or SVN working copy.
Edit #2: While I was formatting the lists I noticed the Minion window refreshed (presumably after checking for new updates) and showed all the deleted games again until I moused over them.
Current list of addons not detected:
Stand-Alone AddOns
No reason to hide these.
It's probably correct to hide these addons when installing new addons through Minion, but probably not correct to hide them in the list of addons the user already has installed. The Curse Client does this -- old addons are listed if installed, but hidden in the "get more addons" list.
Addon version detection problems:
Wrong installed version detected:
I'm not sure what these detections are based on since I've never installed or updated most (if any) of these addons through Minion, but it's definitely using versions detected from some old scan.
Bad update suggestions:
All of the above are also giving either bad suggestions, or at least telling me to update to the version I already have, but at least they look correct based on the version Minion wrongly thinks I have installed. These ones are obviously bad:
More bad update suggestions, but these aren't logically obvious and probably can't be handled by Minion unless the author is diligent about uploading each and every version (including alphas) to both Curse and WoWInterface:
Not bothering to list all my Git repos and SVN working copies since that's not information you don't already have, but of the 83 suggested updates, only 1 was actually an update. :(
Attached is the log file for the second run where all these detection problems were observed.

You can narrow or broaden the context of this timeline by adjusting the zoom level. The lower the scale, the more relevant the items on average will be, while the higher the scale, the less relevant the items, on average, will be.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Henry Shelton will later say, "Right after I left SOCOM [Special Operations Command], I asked my successor to put together a small team, if he could, to try to use the Internet and start trying to see if there was any way that we could track down Osama bin Laden or where he was getting his money from or anything of that nature." A team of six intelligence officers will be given this task and Shelton will be periodically briefed on the progress of the program. But apparently the team, later to be called Able Danger, will focus on data mining tasks relating to Bosnia and China for most of 1999. [Sacramento Bee, 12/7/2005; US Congress, 2/15/2006] General Peter Schoomaker, the head of SOCOM, helped come up with the idea for Able Danger and helps to set it up. SOCOM, based in Tampa, Florida, is responsible for America's secret commando units. [Government Security News, 9/2005] Mark Zaid, a lawyer for several Able Danger whistleblowers in 2005, will give this description of Able Danger: "In the most understandable and simplistic terms, Able Danger involved the searching out and compiling of open source or other publicly available information regarding specific targets or tasks that were connected through associational links. No classified information was used. No government database systems were used.… The search and compilation efforts were primarily handled by defense contractors, who did not necessarily know they were working for Able Danger, and that information was then to be utilized by the military members of Able Danger for whatever appropriate purposes." [US Congress, 9/21/2005] Representative Curt Weldon (R-PA) will say in 2005 that the military's purpose for the Able Danger program was to enable it to "manipulate, degrade, or destroy the global al-Qaeda infrastructure." [Washington Post, 8/13/2005] Apparently, Able Danger does not begin to use real data to fight al-Qaeda until near the end of 1999.

Gen. Pete Schoomaker. [Source: US Defense Department]A data mining program called Able Danger was set up by US Special Operations Command (SOCOM) in late 1998. It had been collecting data mostly on Bosnia and China (see Late December 1998). But at this time, it begins collecting data on al-Qaeda. [Government Security News, 9/2005] At least some of the data is collected on behalf of Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Lambert, the J3 at US Special Operations Command. [US Congress. Senate. Committee on Judiciary, 9/21/2005] Eleven intelligence employees are directly involved in Able Danger's work. Six are with SOCOM's Able Danger unit. Four more, including Dr. Eileen Preisser and Maj. Eric Kleinsmith, are with the US Army's Land Information Warfare Activity (LIWA), which joins the effort in December 1999. LIWA had been conducing data mining already on a wide variety of topics, including international drug cartels, corruption in Russia and Serbia, terrorist linkages in the Far East, and the proliferation of sensitive military technology to China (see April 2000). [Norristown Times Herald, 6/19/2005; Government Security News, 8/2005; New York Times, 8/9/2005; St. Petersburg Times, 8/10/2005; Bergen Record, 8/14/2005; Government Security News, 9/2005; US Congress, 9/21/2005; US Congress. Senate. Committee on Judiciary, 9/21/2005] Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, running a military unit called Stratus Ivy in the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), will also take part in the effort. According to Shaffer, Stratus Ivy is tasked "to take on 'out of the box' ideas, and develop them into real intelligence operations." So the goal is to use the information gathered by Able Danger to conduct real operations against al-Qaeda targets. [US Congress, 2/15/2006 ] Using computers, the unit collects huge amounts of data in a technique called "data mining." They get information from such sources as al-Qaeda Internet chat rooms, news accounts, web sites, and financial records. Using sophisticated software, they compare this with government records such as visa applications by foreign tourists, to find any correlations and depict these visually. [Bergen Record, 8/14/2005; Government Security News, 9/2005] The program will be shut down early in 2001 (see January-March 2001).

A 1999 study by the US Army's Land Information Warfare Activity (LIWA) to look into possible Chinese front companies in the US seeking technology for the Chinese military created controversy and was ordered destroyed in November 1999 (see Mid-1999-November 1999). However, apparently Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA) protests, and the issue finally comes to a head during this month. One result of this controversy will be what Major Erik Kleinsmith will later call "severely restricted" support for Able Danger, including a temporary end to LIWA support (see April 2000) In an April 14, 2000 memorandum from the legal counsel in the Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Captain Michael Lohr writes that the concern over the LIWA data mining study raises privacy concerns: "Preliminary review of subject methodology raised the possibility that LIWA 'data mining' would potentially access both foreign intelligence (FI) information and domestic information relating to US citizens (i.e. law enforcement, tax, customs, immigration, etc.… I recognize that an argument can be made that LIWA is not 'collecting' in the strict sense (i.e. they are accessing public areas of the Internet and non-FI federal government databases of already lawfully collected information). This effort would, however, have the potential to pull together into a single database a wealth of privacy-protected US citizen information in a more sweeping and exhaustive manner than was previously contemplated." Additionally, the content of the study is another reason why it caused what Weldon calls a "wave of controversy." The study had connected future National Security Adviser and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, former Defense Secretary William Perry, and other prominent US citizens to business transactions with Chinese military officials.(see Mid-1999-November 1999). [New York Post, 8/27/2005; Office of Congressman Curt Weldon, 9/17/2005; US Congress, 9/21/2005; Washington Times, 9/22/2005; Washington Times, 10/9/2005] One article on the subject will comment, "Sources familiar with Able Danger say the project was shut down because it could have led to the exposure of a separate secret data mining project focusing on US citizens allegedly transferring super-sensitive US technology illegally to the Chinese government." [WTOP Radio 103.5 (Washington), 9/1/2005] A massive destruction of data from Able Danger and LIWA's data mining efforts will follow, one month later (see May-June 2000).

A secret military intelligence unit called Able Danger, which is tasked with assembling information about al-Qaeda networks around the world, is shut down. Some accounts say the program is shut down in January, some say February, and some say March. [Norristown Times Herald, 6/19/2005; Times Herald (Norristown), 9/12/2005; US Congress, 9/21/2005] The unit has identified Mohamed Atta and three other 9/11 hijackers as members of an al-Qaeda cell operating in the United States (see January-February 2000). According to James D. Smith, a Pentagon contractor involved with the unit, the inspector general shuts down the operation "because of a claim that we were collecting information on US citizens," and it is illegal for the military to do this. [WTOP Radio 103.5 (Washington), 9/1/2005] Others familiar with the unit later say it is closed down because it might have led to the exposure of another data mining project that was investigating US citizens allegedly illegally transferring sensitive US technology to the Chinese government. [WTOP Radio 103.5 (Washington), 9/1/2005] Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer blames the change in leadership brought by the new Bush administration. "Once the four star [General Schoomaker] went away, it was pretty much like the world closing around us [Schoomaker retired in November 2000, but returned as Army Chief of Staff in 2003]. There was no political will to continue this at that point in time. Plus, my direct leadership: Colonel [Jerry] York and General [Bob] Harding had moved on as well. Therefore, I had a new chain of command above me. They were very risk adverse. This [Able Danger] operation, as with other operations which were very high risk / high gain, some of which are still ongoing—seemed to not be appreciated by the incoming leadership." [American Forces Press Service, 6/17/2003; Government Security News, 9/2005] For example, Shaffer will say that Col. Mary Moffitt, who replaces Col. Gerry York around this time ("spring 2001"), "dismantled the Defense [human intelligence] support to Able Danger just months before the 9-11 attacks… [and ] became focused on shutting down our support to Able Danger under the guise of 'reorganization' and in the end, disestablished Stratus Ivy [the unit Shaffer headed] and its cutting edge focus." [US Congress, 2/15/2006 ]

Dr. Eileen Preisser testifies before a congressional briefing. Dr. Preisser was one of four analysts in the US Army's Land Information Warfare Activity (LIWA) supporting Able Danger in late 1999 and 2000 (see Fall 1999). While her testimony remains classified, the next day, Representative Christopher Shays (R-CT) gives a brief summary: "In a briefing we had yesterday, we had Eileen [Preisser], who argues that we don't have the data we need because we don't take all the public data that is available and mix it with the security data. And just taking public data, using, you know, computer systems that are high-speed and able to digest, you know, literally floors' worth of material, she can take relationships that are seven times removed, seven units removed, and when she does that, she ends up with relationships to the bin Laden group where she sees the purchase of chemicals, the sending of students to universities. You wouldn't see it if you isolated it there, but if that unit is connected to that unit, which is connected to that unit, which is connected to that unit, you then see the relationship. So we don't know ultimately the authenticity of how she does it, but when she does it, she comes up with the kind of answer that you have just asked, which is a little unsettling." [US Congress. House. Committee on Government Reform. Subcommittee on National Security, Veterans Affairs and International Relations, 10/12/2001] Note that according to some media accounts, the CIA monitored Mohamed Atta purchasing large quantities of chemicals in Germany in the spring of 2000 (see January-May 2000). Atta also sends a series of e-mails to the US in the spring of 2000, inquiring about flight school opportunities for himself and a "small group" of his associates (see January-March 2000). Dr. Preisser is apparently willing to testify about her role in how Able Danger uncovered Atta's name, but in September 2005 she is prohibited from publicly testifying before Congress (see September 21, 2005).

9/11 Commission Executive Director Philip Zelikow. [Source: Jurist]Philip Zelikow, the executive director of the 9/11 Commission, along with two members of the commission's staff and an unnamed "representative of the executive branch," meets at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan with three individuals doing intelligence work for the US Defense Department. [CNN, 8/17/2005; Sacramento Bee, 11/24/2005] Among these is Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, an Army intelligence officer who worked closely with a military intelligence unit called Able Danger, which between fall 1999 and spring 2001 was tasked with assembling information about al-Qaeda networks around the world (see Fall 1999 and January-March 2001). According to Shaffer's own later account, he gives the commission staff a detailed account of what Able Danger was, and tells them, "We found two of the three cells which conducted 9/11, to include [Mohamed] Atta." At the end of the meeting, Philip Zelikow approaches him and says, "This is important. We need to continue this dialogue when we get back to the states." [Government Security News, 9/2005] Following the meeting, Zelikow calls back to the 9/11 Commission's headquarters in Washington to request that staff draft a document request, seeking information on Able Danger from the Department of Defense. [Thomas H. Kean and Lee H. Hamilton, 8/12/2005 ] According to Anthony Shaffer, "My understanding from talking to another member of the press is that [Zelikow's] call came into America at four o clock in the morning. He got people out of bed over this." [Government Security News, 9/2005] Shaffer subsequently tries contacting Philip Zelikow in January 2004 (see Early January 2004). After it is revealed in the press that the commission, which includes no mention of Able Danger in its final report, had been briefed on the unit, spokesmen for commission members will insist that while they were informed of Able Danger at this time, they were not informed that it had identified Mohamed Atta or any other hijackers as threats. [New York Times, 8/10/2005] Head commissioners Thomas H. Kean and Lee H. Hamilton will later say in an official statement that a memorandum prepared by the commission staff after the meeting "does not record any mention of Mohamed Atta or any of the other future hijackers, or any suggestion that their identities were known to anyone at [Defense Department] before 9/11. Nor do any of the three Commission staffers who participated in the interview, or the executive branch lawyer, recall hearing any such allegation." [Thomas H. Kean and Lee H. Hamilton, 8/12/2005 ]

The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) in Washington, DC apparently destroys duplicate copies of documentation relating to a military intelligence unit called Able Danger, for unknown reasons. The documents had been maintained by one of the DIA's employees, intelligence officer Anthony Shaffer. [US Congress, 9/21/2005] The Able Danger unit was established in fall 1999, to assemble information about al-Qaeda networks worldwide (see Fall 1999). Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer had served as a liaison officer between the unit and the DIA. [New York Times, 8/17/2005; Guardian, 8/18/2005] Able Danger allegedly identified Mohamed Atta and three other future 9/11 hijackers more than a year before the attacks (see January-February 2000). Other records relating to the unit were destroyed in May and June 2000, and March 2001 (see May-June 2000). [US Congress, 9/21/2005; Fox News, 9/24/2005]

President Barack Obama urged lawmakers Tuesday to act immediately to stop the $85 billion in sequestration cuts that take effect on Friday.
"When you're cutting $85 billion in seven months, there's no smart way to do that," Obama said during a speech to shipbuilders in Newport News, Va.
The nation's jobs "are in jeopardy because of politics in Washington," Obama said. "Congress might allow immediate, painful, arbitrary cuts to take place."
"Only Congress has the power to pass a law to stop these damaging cuts. None of us will get 100% of what we want; Democrats will have to make some tough choices too."
Obama told the audience of shipbuilders to "stand up and speak out; Congress will listen."
But Politico reported that House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, told Republicans during a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill the same day that the House doesn't need to pass a third sequester replacement bill before the "Senate gets off their ass and passes it once."
Obama criticized Republicans in Congress during his speech for not agreeing to cut out the government programs "we don't need," saying the sequester uses a "meat cleaver approach."
While "the impact of this sequester won't be felt overnight, it will be real," he said. Already, he continued, "the uncertainty around these cuts are having an effect—companies are preparing for layoffs and families are preparing for cuts."
Indeed, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said in testimony before the Senate Banking Committee the same day that the sequestration cuts—like furloughs and spending cuts—will "build over a period of time" and "would not take place immediately."
Citing Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates, Bernanke said in his testimony that deficit-reduction policies in current law would "slow the pace of real GDP growth by about 1-1/2 percentage points this year, relative to what it would have been otherwise." A "significant portion of this effect is related to the automatic spending sequestration that is scheduled to begin on March 1, which, according to the CBO's estimates, will contribute about 0.6 percentage point to the fiscal drag on economic growth this year."
Given the "still-moderate underlying pace of economic growth," Bernanke continued, "this additional near-term burden on the recovery is significant. Moreover, besides having adverse effects on jobs and incomes, a slower recovery would lead to less actual deficit reduction in the short run for any given set of fiscal actions."
Bernanke went on to say that to address both "the near- and longer-term issues, the Congress and the administration should consider replacing the sharp, frontloaded spending cuts required by the sequestration with policies that reduce the federal deficit more gradually in the near term but more substantially in the longer run." Such an approach, Bernanke said, "could lessen the near-term fiscal headwinds facing the recovery while more effectively addressing the longer-term imbalances in the federal budget." As to current economic conditions, Bernanke said that since his last report to the Senate in mid-2012, economic activity in the U.S. has "continued to expand at a moderate if somewhat uneven pace."
In particular, he said, "real GDP is estimated to have risen at an annual rate of about 3% in the third quarter but to have been essentially flat in the fourth quarter. The pause in real GDP growth last quarter does not appear to reflect a stalling out of the recovery. Rather, economic activity was temporarily restrained by weather-related disruptions and by transitory declines in a few volatile categories of spending, even as demand by U.S. households and businesses continued to expand. Available information suggests that economic growth has picked up again this year."
He went on to say that "consistent with the moderate pace of economic growth, conditions in the labor market have been improving gradually. Since July, nonfarm payroll employment has increased by 175,000 jobs per month on average, and the unemployment rate declined 0.3 percentage point to 7.9% over the same period." Cumulatively, Bernanke said, "private-sector payrolls have now grown by about 6.1 million jobs since their low point in early 2010, and the unemployment rate has fallen a bit more than 2 percentage points since its cyclical peak in late 2009. Despite these gains, however, the job market remains generally weak, with the unemployment rate well above its longer-run normal level."

|Heirloom Tomatoes - Cherry & Big
Part of my Farmer's Market Themed Menu
I've mentioned before that I had always been a little intimated by homemade salad dressings. I started experimenting with vinaigrettes and found them to be so simple and so, so, so much better than store-bought dressings. I had yet to attempt a creamy dressing until I came across the tempting Green Goddess...
Green Goddess dressing is a sour cream based dressing jazzed up with fresh chives, basil and garlic. Basically a homemade ranch dressing + basil. I love that the basil turns the dressing a pale green color - must be where the name originates!
The best part of this homemade dressing is that the entire dressing is made in 30 seconds in a food processor. I serve it on top of heirloom tomatoes or with bibb lettuce, tomatoes, avocado and pieces of bacon (Mike's favorite). I find that this dressing is also great with grated Parmesan cheese on top... but what isn't, really. Oh, and the fresh herbs really make all of the difference.
Green Goddess Dressing
serves 4
1/2 cup of mayonaise
1/2 cup of sour cream
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
1 clove of garlic, minced
1/2 cup of fresh basil leaves, chopped
1/4 cup of fresh chives, chopped
1 teaspoon of sea salt
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
Put all of the ingredients in a food processor and whip together for 30 seconds. Serve on top tomatoes or a fresh salad.

Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
Fibromyalgia is a common chronic condition whose main symptoms are specific tender points on various parts of the body, widespread musculoskeletal discomfort, morning stiffness, fatigue, and disturbed sleep. The cause of the condition is unknown, but it occurs most often in women aged 30 to 50. Other symptoms commonly believed to be associated with fibromyalgia are irritable bowel syndrome, urinary frequency, anxiety, headache, and numbness or tingling.
Apart from tender points on the body, physical exams and lab tests for people with fibromyalgia are usually normal. Because of this, some physicians are inclined to believe that the condition is "all in the patient's head." One researcher has noted that many of the symptoms of fibromyalgia, including certain tender points, are common in the general population, and goes so far as to question whether it is a real condition. 1
However, the current consensus is that fibromyalgia is real, and the American College of Rheumatologists has given it an official medical definition. It involves the presence of widespread chronic pain and the existence of pain in at least 11 of 18 specific points on the body when pressure is applied. Although the cause of fibromyalgia is not known, it may be related to poor sleeping with incomplete muscular relaxation.
Antidepressants have been shown to help chronic pain from many causes 2 and have been found to be effective in reducing fibromyalgia symptoms, even when given in doses too low to treat depression. 3 Other conventional treatment for fibromyalgia may include antidepressants, anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, sleeping pills, and anti-anxiety medications.
Various forms of exercise , 4,5,43,53,54 especially aerobic exercise, have been shown to be helpful for symptoms associated with fibromyalgia, most notably global well-being and physical functioning. 52
Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
There are three natural treatments that might be helpful for fibromyalgia, although the evidence is not yet strong: SAMe, 5-HTP, and capsaicin.
SAMe, short for S-adenosylmethionine, is a chemical derived from a combination of methionine, an amino acid, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main molecule for energy in the body. More well known as a treatment for depression and also osteoarthritis, preliminary research suggests that SAMe may be helpful for fibromyalgia as well.
Four double-blind trials have studied the use of SAMe for fibromyalgia, 6-9 three of them finding it to be helpful. Unfortunately, most of these studies gave SAMe either intravenously or as an injection into the muscles, sometimes in combination with oral doses. When you inject a medication, the effects can be quite different than when you take it orally. For that reason, these studies are of questionable relevance.
However, the one double-blind study that used only oral SAMe did find positive results. 10 In this trial, 44 people with fibromyalgia took 800 mg of SAMe or placebo for 6 weeks. Compared to the group taking placebo, those taking SAMe had improvements in disease activity, pain at rest, fatigue, and morning stiffness, and in one measurement of mood. In other respects, such as the amount of tenderness in their tender points, the group taking SAMe did no better than those taking the placebo.
It is not clear whether SAMe is helping fibromyalgia through antidepressant effects or some other mechanism.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full SAMe article.
5-HTP, short for 5-hydroxytryptophan, is most commonly used as a treatment for depression. It is thought to work by increasing the amount of serotonin in the brain. However, evidence that it helps fibromyalgia is still preliminary.
One double-blind study of 50 people with fibromyalgia found that those taking 300 mg of 5-HTP for 30 days reported significant decreases in the number of tender points and the amount of pain they experienced, compared to those taking placebo. 11 They also noted improvements in sleep patterns, morning stiffness, anxiety, and fatigue. Interestingly, the people taking placebo also noted significant improvements in pain and sleep, although less marked than those experienced with 5-HTP. More studies are needed to determine how much 5-HTP really helps.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full 5-HTP article.
Capsaicin , the "hot" in cayenne peppers, is widely used as a treatment for various painful conditions, such as shingles and arthritis. One double-blind study of 45 people found that it may be beneficial for fibromyalgia as well. 15 In this study, participants used either the capsaicin cream or a placebo 4 times a day for 4 weeks, rubbing it into the tender points on one side of their body. Those who used the real treatment reported less tenderness in their tender points than those using the placebo. Interestingly, the points on their untreated sides were also less tender. There was no difference between those using capsaicin or placebo in the amount of overall pain or sleep quality. It must be noted, however, that it is hard to believe the study was really double-blind, since it is impossible to hide the burning sensation caused by capsaicin!
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Cayenne Pepper article.
Other Proposed Treatments for Fibromyalgia
The blue-green algae Chlorella pyrenoidosa might be helpful for fibromyalgia. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 37 people with fibromyalgia were given either placebo or chlorella supplements at a dose of 10 g daily. 16 At the end of 3 months, people were switched to the opposite group, and then treated for an additional 3 months. The results showed significant improvements in symptoms when participants used chlorella as compared to placebo. Note : There are serious safety concerns about blue-green algae. For more information, see the full Blue-green Algae article.
A pilot double-blind study found benefit with a proprietary mixture containing camphor oil, rosemary oil , eucalyptus oil , peppermint oil , aloe vera oil, lemon oil, and orange oil. 47 These essential oils were applied topically.
A mixture of malic acid and magnesium has been widely marketed as a treatment for fibromyalgia. However, in a double-blind study of 24 people, this treatment proved no more effective than placebo. 23 Good results were seen in open trials, 24,25 but such studies cannot eliminate the placebo effect and, for that reason, are not reliable. (For more information on this complicated issue, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies? )
A substantial study marred by poor design (specifically, far too many primary endpoints) found equivocal evidence that L-carnitine, taken at dose of 500 mg three times daily, might be more effective than placebo for the treatment of fibromyalgia. 51
Other proposed natural supplements for fibromyalgia include vitamin B 1 , vitamin E , and selenium , but there is no real evidence that they work. A study that purportedly found melatonin helpful was, in fact, too poorly designed to provide meaningful evidence. 36
The effectiveness of IV-infused micronutrient therapy (eg, Myers' Cocktail) is unclear. In a small 2009 study of 34 adults, weekly IV micronutrient infusions for 8 weeks were reported to improve tender point scores from baseline, but the results were not significantly better than placebo. 57
One study failed to find DHEA at a dose of 50 mg per day helpful for fibromyalgia. 37
Acupuncture added to standard medications was associated with symptom improvement in a randomized trial of 164 patients with fibromyalgia. Improvements were noted in pain intensity, pain threshold, quality of life, and physical functioning when compared to sham acupuncture. Treatment lasted for 9 weeks, but the effects of the acupuncture lasted through the 1-year follow-up period.69
Other alternative treatments with minimal supporting evidence include:
- Balneotherapy (spa therapy) 49,50,55
- Guided imagery 28
- Hypnotherapy 27
- Magnet therapy 33,34,40,62,64
- Massage 29-32
- Reiki 56
- Relaxation therapies 41,65
- Vegan diet 44
The martial art Tai Chi has also been studied as a treatment for fibromylgia. In a small randomized, controlled trial, Tai Chi appeared to improve symptoms, function, and quality of life in fibromyalgia patients compared to wellness education and stretching. 59
Osteopathic manipulative therapy , which focuses on manual treatment of the musculoskeletal system, has some evidence to support its use as a treatment for fibromyalgia. 35,61 . In one trial, 93 women (average age 53) with fibromyalgia were randomized to receive sham treatment or craniosacral therapy (one-hour sessions twice a week for 20 weeks). 61 Craniosacral therapy involves manipulating external tissues of the head. This is done to help facilitate the natural rhythmic pulsation, which are thought to travel through brain and spinal cord. Compared to the sham group, women in the craniosacral therapy group experienced a decrease in pain at 20 weeks, which persisted for a least one year. In another randomized trial, 94 people with fibromyalgia received either myofascial release (a type of treatment that involves palpitation of the fascial tissue surrounding muscles) or sham therapy for 40 sessions (20 weeks). 63 At the 6-month follow-up, the people in the treatment group reported less pain and more physical ability. But, only some of these results lasted until the 1-year follow-up.
Yoga is another alternative therapy that has been studied for fibromyalgia. In a small trial involving 53 women with fibromyalgia, those that participated in an 8-week yoga program experienced an improvement in their symptoms, including pain, fatigue, stiffness, and tenderness. 60
A single-blind study of somewhat convoluted design provides weak evidence that a gown made from a special "electromagnetic shielding fabric" can reduce fibromyalgia symptoms. 46 The rationale for using this fabric is, however, somewhat scientifically implausible.
One study purportedly found that use of cosmetics increases fibromyalgia symptoms, but it was too poorly designed to show anything at all. 42 An equally meaningless study purported to show that intravenous nutrients are helpful for fibromyalgia. 48
The use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) was associated with pain relief in 3 small randomized trials when compared to sham treatment. One trial found improvements in daily quality of life. Though there were significant changes in the tDCS group, the changes were short-term. However, the review only had a total of 96 patients, more research is needed with larger groups to determine its clinical benefit. 66-68
The Homeopathy section of the database also has an article on Fibromyalgia .

Dangerous tug-of-war over baby involving alleged Walmart shoplifter in Rostraver
Security cameras capture incident on video; Aunt allegedly then left baby niece behind
A potentially dangerous tug-of-war over a baby was captured on video Thursday by security cameras at the Walmart store in Rostraver Township, Westmoreland County.
Police said it shows how the baby's aunt, who was accused of retail theft, struggled for the child, then left the baby behind to get away from the store's loss prevention officer.
VIDEO: Watch Bob Mayo's report with security footage
The security camera video first gives a glimpse of Djuna Marcel Tansmore, 48, of Monessen, trying to leave the store with not only her baby niece in a car seat in a shopping cart, but allegedly also taking more than $86 worth of Tide detergent and Miracle Whip she didn't pay for. The video then shows store security ordering her back inside.
Rostraver Police Chief Greg Resetar said that's when the struggle over the baby in the car seat began.
"The straps weren't released and it sort of tipped the cart, and she sort of was trying to shake it, moving around, trying to dislodge the baby from the mechanism," said Resetar.
The video appears to show the baby in the seat being yanked back and forth with the cart nearly tipping, then being dragged behind the baby seat.
Eventually, the aunt can be seen running off, leaving her baby niece behind, police said.
Rostraver police said the baby's mother and grandfather showed up at the store and claimed the child, who was not hurt. They said the family also identified Tansmore, who officers then arrested near her home.
She's charged with recklessly endangering the baby, retail theft, and possession of drug paraphernalia, including two crack pipes.
Shoppers outside the Rostraver Walmart expressed surprise when they learned of the incident.
"It would be terrible. I mean number one, shoplifting's bad enough. But leaving your child, I would never do that," said Sharon Barnhart, of West Newton.
"She tells us that she figured we'd find out who the baby belonged to, come arrest her, and that would be the end of it. But I don't know how a 14-month-old tells you who she was there with. So it makes absolutely no sense to us," said Resetar.
The baby's great-grandmother, Catherine Rawlins, said Tansmore "would never put the baby in harm's way, but she panicked and she ran."
Tansmore is being held in the county prison on $10,000 bail as she awaits a preliminary hearing Sept. 9.

How much does $217 buy?
A fair amount, if you're just looking at your weekly grocery bill. But if you're an entire nation? Not so much.
Zimbabwe's finance minister Tendai Biti told press that his country has just $217 in the bank after civil servants got their paychecks.
"The government finances are in paralysis state at the present moment," Biti said at a press conference in Harare, Tuesday, the Telegraph reported. "We are failing to meet our targets."
The country's dire financial straits are particularly worrisome, considering the upcoming elections planned for later this year. Biti told reporters the government plans to ask the international community for assistance.
Three out of every four Zimbabweans lives on less than £1 per day, and more than half of the workforce is unemployed.
Zimbabwe had struggled financially after a decade of hyperinflation, when President Robert Mugabe began to hand white-owned farmland over to black Zimbabweans. Thousands of farmers were kicked off their lands, harming investor confidence, slowing production to a halt, and prompting international sanctions.
In 2008, when a disputed election left the 88-year-old Mugabe's Zanu-PF party sharing power with the opposition Movement for Democratic Change, the hyperinflation was slowed and Zimbabwe experienced two years of now-slowing strong growth.
"Despite better-than-expected revenue performance, central government operations recorded a cash deficit of 0.6 per cent of GDP in 2011 and domestic arrears accumulation of about 1 per cent of GDP, due mainly to two salary increases that raised employment costs by 22 per cent, crowding out social and capital investment," the International Monetary Fund said in an annual report.
"The effect of the salary hikes was compounded in early-2012 by an increase in employee allowances and unbudgeted recruitment," it added in its report.

Blogging with Windows Live Writer
I'm trying out Windows Live Writer to blog. Since I have several blogs, I figured I'd check to see if this was easier.First, you have to set up all the blogs you want to use by providing the website URL, user name and password. Then you can create a blog post and just click "Publish" and it does the rest. The blog you wrote stays on the screen until you close it, so if you want to post it more than one spot, there's no cutting and pasting or rewriting involved.Adding photos is easy, too. Here's one of some semi-recent knitting:I adjusted the photo using Windows Live Photo Gallery, just using the auto-correct feature, and it did make the colors stand out more. I'm sure there are features I haven't found yet. Anyone have any tips? I do like the ease of posting to more than one blog.

The University operates on two campuses in Lodi and Rutherford, New Jersey. The University is one of the institutions of higher learning conducted by the Felician Sisters in the United States. Founded by the Felician Sisters of Lodi, New Jersey, it began as Immaculate Conception Normal School with the first summer session commencing on July 5, 1923. For more than a decade, the Normal School trained in-service teachers and qualified them for state certification. On May 27, 1935, the Normal School was raised to the status of a teacher training college approved by and affiliated with the Catholic University of America. The students who belonged to a religious order completed a maximum of seventy-two semester hours of their undergraduate work at the College and then transferred to the Catholic University of America, Seton Hall or Fordham Universities.
The institution became reorganized as a junior college in 1941, and on March 26, 1942, it was incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey as Immaculate Conception Junior College. In December 1963, the State Department of Education granted to the College the power to confer, in its own name, the degree of Associate in Arts. By September 1964, the College extended its curriculum to admit the first class of laywomen. At about the same time, St. Mary's Hospital in Orange, New Jersey, having decided to expand its facilities and to replace the three-year nursing school with the two-year Associate in Arts program, transferred its nursing program to Immaculate Conception Junior College. The first class of nursing students was admitted in September 1965. In June 1967, the New Jersey State Department of Education authorized Immaculate Conception Junior College to offer a four-year program in Elementary Teacher Education under its new name, Felician College.
The dedication in May 1969 of two newly constructed facilities, the auditorium-administration-classroom building and the library, marked the completion of a physical expansion program begun in 1966. In 1970, the College began a continuing education program initiated for persons who chose to attend Felician College courses for college credit or audit, a workshop or a seminar. The New Jersey Department of Higher Education authorized Felician College to offer a two-year program in Medical Laboratory Technology in July 1973, a four-year Liberal Arts program in January 1974, and a four-year program in Special Education in 1975. Certificate programs in Handwriting Analysis and in Business were introduced in 1977 and 1978 respectively. An upper-division baccalaureate nursing program for Registered Nurses was instituted in 1979.
Felician University introduced certificate programs in Computer Programming and in Data Processing into its curricular offerings in September 1983. A Computer Science Center was established at this time. A Religious Studies Certificate Program was inaugurated in 1984; a Business certificate was introduced in 1985. In May 1986, Felician College became coeducational, accepting men and women into all programs and courses. Further expansion occurred in 1986 when Felician University began offering its Religious Studies Certificate Program at off-campus locations in the diocese of Metuchen. In 1987, Academic support services became available through the Center for Learning. In 1987, the College dedicated a newly constructed facility housing a Child Care Center and a Nursing Resource Center. In collaboration with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, a program of Cyto-technology, Medical Technology, and Toxicology was established in 1988.
In 1989, Felician University was authorized by the New Jersey Department of Higher Education to offer a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. At this time, the Office of Continuing Education was restructured into a Division of Evening and Weekend Programs. The Nursing programs were expanded by the introduction of off-campus sites for Associate Degree in Nursing courses at Overlook Hospital (1988) and Bachelor of Science Nursing courses at Chilton Memorial Hospital (1989). In addition, an evening Associate Degree in Nursing Program was established (1990). In 1990, the University expanded its offerings to include an Honors program and Weekend Classes degree programs in Business Administration, Psychology, and Social Sciences. In 1991, the University implemented a Transition Year program with courses and tutorial support to help academically under-prepared students attain college-level competencies. In 1994, a comprehensive Developmental Studies program replaced the Transition Year program. In 1992, the University received grants from the New Jersey State Department of Higher Education to implement Community Service/Service Learning components in Honors courses. In 1993 and 1994, the University expanded its offerings to include concentrations in Biochemistry, Environmental Science, and Philosophy.
In 1994, the University began offering a Bachelor of Arts degree in Computer Science as authorized by the New Jersey State Department of Higher Education. In September 1994, the University inaugurated Kirby Hall, 48,000 square feet of renovated convent space. In 1995, the New Jersey Commission on Higher Education approved the University's amended mission to include the offering of graduate programs and authorized the implementation of a Master of Science degree program in Nursing, the University's first Master's degree program. The New Jersey Commission on Higher Education approved the University's offering (1996), in con-junction with the University of Medicine and Dentistry (UMDNJ), the baccalaureate degree in Psychosocial Rehabilitation.
The University developed an Athletic Program for men and women's basketball in 1996, followed by a men's soccer team and women's softball team. In 1996, the Master of Science Degree in Nursing was approved to offer a Family Nurse Practitioner Track and in 1999 an Adult Nurse Practitioner Track to meet the growing need for advanced practice nurses. The University's first web page appeared in the fall of 1996. Subsequent semesters saw the broadening of Felician's "web presence", the increasing availability of the Internet and e-mail to our students, and the use of our site to inform, educate, and integrate all the members of our community. In 1997, the Commission approved new Bachelor of Arts degree programs in Computer Science, Philosophy, and in Management and Marketing. The newly created Office of Academic Support Services designed and implemented plans to achieve greater coherence and accountability in the areas of student advising, counseling, testing, tutoring, and Section 504 of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
In the fall of 1997, Felician University purchased the Rutherford Campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University. In 1997, the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education and the New Jersey State Board of Nursing accredited the Generic BSN Program in Nursing. In 1997, the State approved the University's offering of a Master's Degree in Catechesis (Religious Education). This program prepares people for ministries that seek to make God's word dynamic and intelligible to people at every stage in their lives. The President's Council formally constituted the Felician University Institutional Review Board (IRB) for the Protection of Human Subjects on February 12, 1998. The introduction in the spring of 1998 of Distance Learning Courses (also made available through the New Jersey Virtual University) began offering students an alternative approach to selected classroom courses. In 2001, the University offered its first online Master's degree in Religious Education. In 1998 a Post Master's Family Nurse Practitioner Certificate Program began. In 2000, a Post-Master's Adult Nurse Practitioner Certification Program was added.
One of the first programs launched by the newly introduced Center for Academic Support Services was the Jump Start Program (summer 1998) – of workshops designed to enhance both the academic and survival skills of new students. In 1999, the Master of Science in Nursing Advisory Committee was established. In 1999, the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education accredited the Baccalaureate and Master of Science Degree in Nursing Programs. State approval of M.A. programs in Teacher Education (1999) and English (2000) have helped the University broaden its commitment to a rising graduate student population.
Success at Felician, an accelerated Business Management degree program aimed at the working adult, began offering courses in the spring of 2000. In the spring of 2000, a record number of students – 1328 – were attending Felician College.

In 2003, the New Jersey State Department of Education approved the School Nurse/Health Education Post Baccalaureate Certificate Program. The first class of students was admitted in January 2004. In the summer of 2003, low enrollment forced the closure of the Medical Laboratory Program.

In 2004, the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education accredited the Master of Science Degree in Nursing Program – Online.

text: I've just started using inSIDDer Office and DBx and like it a lot. I'm trying to understand the main spectrum graphs. I can't find much of anything in the user guide or Megageek website about interpreting these graphs. Before I buy Chanalyzer, I'd like to understand better the information available in Office. Frequency I understand. Is height a measure of RF level in dBm? What's the significance of the colors, blue, green, red, etc and the density of the display?

According to the video uploader, this full-extension-over-the-outfield-wall catch came in the ninth inning with two outs, one man on and Lower Columbia hanging on to a two run lead—meaning, the home run would have tied the game. Lower Columbia's left fielder goes totally horizontal to snag the no-doubter and half way down you get the feeling even he's surprised. That's Yard Abandonment we can all get behind.
Rather than a deflating tie game in the ninth inning, the game ended in spectacular fashion. It's pretty hard to come up with a more satisfying feeling than a walk-off home run, but this is pretty close.
