The law isn't always black and white – sometimes it's a nice caramel shade of bronze.
Last week, Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation prohibiting anyone younger than 18 from visiting a tanning salon – even with their parents' permission.
Has anyone thought about leaving it up to parents to decide whether or not their kids get a tan?
It seems when big government isn't trying to parent us, it's trying to parent our kids.
I love my kids and think I can make wise decisions for them without interference from Springfield.
And, hey, it's not like a child can covertly go out and get a tan. It would be pretty evident when he gets home on some January afternoon that, yes, junior has been under the tanning lights.
Current law in Illinois allows minors to access tanning beds with parental or guardian consent.
But that law is destined to fade away when the new law goes into effect Jan. 1, 2014.
According to the Melanoma Foundations, two leading causes of skin cancer are using tanning beds or being in the sun without sunscreen.
What next?
Banning kids from going outside without sunscreen?
At some point, personal responsibility has to come into play.
We can't be a society that wraps its citizens in government bubble wrap, protecting them from any potential mistake.
Another nanny state bill signed by Quinn this month is a measure prohibiting handheld held cell phones from being used while driving.
Are there times, when you're driving when it is not a good idea to use a cell phone? You bet.
But rather than leave it up to the discretion of individual drivers to determine when they can safely drive and talk, government has taken a one-size-fits-all approach and prohibited it for everyone.
It is just one more erosion of individual freedom at the hands of big government.
Along those lines, Quinn last week signed a measure called the "Puppy Lemon Law."
The legislation would allow people who buy a cat or dog to get a replacement or a refund if the animal needs veterinary care for some illnesses or conditions within 20 days of purchase. The buyer also could seek damages for the cost of veterinary care.
I have four dogs, two cats and a pair of parakeets living under my roof. (These things happen when you marry a veterinarian.)
When purchasing an animal I've learned to question the owner about the animal's health and potential genetic problems.
I usually will ask for a guarantee that will enable me to return the pet if a serious health problem is detected after purchase. If the seller doesn't agree, I have the option of shopping elsewhere.
That's the way free enterprise works.
But now our governor has signed a solution in search of problem.
After Jan. 1, 2014, pet owners suffering from buyer remorse under some conditions can just return the pet for a full refund.
Wouldn't it be nice if we had a lemon law for the politicians we elect?

NEW YORK (AP) Carmelo Anthony scored 31 points in his return to the lineup and the New York Knicks beat the Brooklyn Nets 100-86 on Wednesday night in the third meeting this season between the city rivals.
After two tight games in Brooklyn, the Knicks turned the first one at Madison Square Garden into a rout by dominating the second half. Anthony, who missed two games with a sprained left ankle, moved fine and shot well, though his scoring average against the Nets this season actually dropped to 37 points per game.
J.R. Smith added 19 points and Tyson Chandler had 16 points and 12 rebounds for the Knicks, who bounced back from their first home loss Monday against Houston, improving to 11-1 at MSG.
Joe Johnson scored 17 points for the Nets, who have lost three straight and eight of 10. What once was a deadlock for the Atlantic Division lead after the first meeting is now a six-game advantage for the Knicks.
Deron Williams and Brook Lopez each had 16 points for Brooklyn.
ATLANTA (AP) - Kevin Durant set a season high with 41 points and had 13 rebounds as Oklahoma City held off Atlanta for its 12th straight win.
Russell Westbrook added 27 points - 21 in the first half - and 11 assists for the Thunder.
The Thunder (21-4) improved the NBA's best record and atoned for a 104-95 home loss to the Hawks on Nov. 4. Oklahoma City is 20-2 since that loss.
The 12 straight wins matches the longest streak for the franchise since 1996, when it had a 14-game winning streak as the Seattle SuperSonics.
Jeff Teague scored 19 points to lead the Hawks.
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Blake Griffin scored 18 points and Los Angeles beat New Orleans for its franchise record-tying 11th consecutive victory.
Jamal Crawford added 17 points, DeAndre Jordan scored 12, and Chris Paul had 10 points and 12 assists, surpassing 5,000 in his career for the Clippers.
They tied the franchise record set by the 1974-75 Buffalo Braves.
Robin Lopez scored 14 of his 22 points in the first quarter and rookie Anthony Davis added 16 for the Hornets. They lost their ninth in a row and 11th in their last 12 games while falling to 2-10 on the road. They were the last team to beat the Clippers on Nov. 26.
BOSTON (AP) - Paul Pierce scored 25 of his season-high 40 points in the second half, hitting 10 of his 11 shots after halftime, and Boston beat Cleveland to snap a three-game skid.
Pierce made his first eight shots coming out of the break, including three 3-pointers. He finished 13 of 16 from the field.
Rajon Rondo added 20 points and eight assists for the Celtics. Jason Terry added 15 points.
Kyrie Irving scored 22 points for the Cavs, who played without Anderson Varejao, the NBA's leading rebounder who sat out with a bruised knee. Rookie Tyler Zeller got his first career start in Varejao's place and scored 20 points as Cleveland fell to 2-14 on the road.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - DeMarcus Cousins scored 24 points, Aaron Brooks added 23 and Sacramento snapped a five-game losing streak with a win over Golden State.
After blowing a 15-point lead, Brooks made a pair of 3-pointers in the final minutes to help the Kings pull away. Both teams shot 50 percent, while the Kings had a season high in points and scored more than any team had against the Warriors this season.
Stephen Curry scored 23 of his 32 points in the second half before fouling out, and David Lee had 29 points and eight rebounds in Golden State's worst defensive outing of the season. Only Oklahoma City had shot at least 50 percent against the Warriors.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - Zach Randolph had 15 points and 17 rebounds, and Marc Gasol had 12 points and 12 rebounds to lead Memphis over Milwaukee.
Rudy Gay added 13 points for Memphis, which won its third straight. Mike Conley had 11 points and six assists, while Marreese Speights scored 10 points.
Brandon Jennings led Milwaukee with 26 points despite missing his first eight shots. Marquis Daniels was the only other Bucks player in double figures with 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting.
Monta Ellis, the Bucks leading scorer at 19 points a game, missed his first 13 shots and didn't score a field goal until 2:30 was left in the game. He ended the night with four points.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Reserve guard Gerald Green scored a season-high 21 points, and Paul George had 20 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks to help Indiana beat Utah.
George Hill also scored 20 and had five assists for the Pacers, who matched their largest victory margin of the season and won for the fourth time in five games.
Derrick Favors scored 16 points, Alec Burks had 12 and Mo Williams 11 for the Jazz, who lost their third in the last four games.
Indiana scored more than 100 points for just the fourth time this season - and the Pacers have won all those games. The Pacers shot 51.2 percent from the field.
HOUSTON (AP) - James Harden had 33 points and seven assists to lead Houston to a victory over Philadelphia.
Harden topped 20 points for the seventh straight game to send the 76ers to their fifth straight loss. He made 17 of 18 free throws, including six in the fourth quarter, as Houston improved to 9-2 in its last 11 home games.
Toney Douglas hit five 3-pointers and scored all 17 of his points in the fourth for Houston.
Nick Young scored 21 points for Philadelphia, which matched its most lopsided loss of the season. The 76ers also lost by 22 points against the New York Knicks on Nov. 5.
PHOENIX (AP) - Shannon Brown scored a season-high 26 points and Phoenix hit a season-high 17 3-pointers to send Charlotte to its league-worst 13th straight loss.
Goran Dragic added 21 points and Jared Dudley had 20 for the Suns, who have won a season-best four straight. Their 17 3s came on 28 attempts.
Kemba Walker scored 27 points and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist added 25 to match a career high for the Bobcats, who have not won since Nov. 24.
After taking a one-point lead at the end of the first quarter, the Suns outscored the Bobcats 22-6 over the first six-plus minutes of the second to take a 50-33 lead. Phoenix led by as much as 30.
TORONTO (AP) - DeMar DeRozan had 23 points, Alan Anderson scored 12 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter and Toronto beat Detroit to extend its winning streak to four games.
Jose Calderon had 17 assists, one shy of his season high, and Jonas Valanciunas scored 12 points for the Raptors, who last won four straight from Nov. 17-24, 2010. Ed Davis added 11 points and nine rebounds for the Raptors, who had lost six of their previous seven meetings with the Pistons.
Anderson helped seal it for Toronto with a trio of 3-pointers in the final quarter.
Greg Monroe scored a career-high 35 points and Rodney Stuckey had 13 for the Pistons, who lost their sixth straight and dropped to 2-13 on the road.
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - J.J. Redick scored 17 points and fellow reserve E'Twaun Moore had 15 to lead Orlando to a win over Washington.
Redick hit four 3-pointers and Arron Afflalo had 15 points as Orlando won its fourth straight.
Nene had 20 points in a reserve role for the Wizards, who lost their fifth in a row. Jordan Crawford added 19 points and six assists.
The Magic took a 76-63 lead into the fourth quarter but started the period shooting 3 for 15, giving the Wizards an opening they failed to capitalize on. Washington pulled to 85-81 with 4:02 left, but the Wizards couldn't score on their next three possessions.

Audrey M. Dent
MADISON – On Saturday, November 24, 2012, Audrey Dent passed from this world to the next, surrounded by the love and prayers of her family, at her home at Oakwood Village East, Prairie Ridge, in Madison.
Audrey was born on April 25, 1920, in Stetsonville, Wisconsin, to George and Hazel Osterhaus. She was the fourth of their eight children, and she grew up in central Wisconsin, graduating from Plainfield High School. On December 27, 1940, she married the love of her life, Arlie R. Dent, and the two of them lived most of their lives in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, where Arlie worked at Consolidated Paper Company and Audrey devoted her life to homemaking for him and their three children. After Arlie retired, he and Audrey moved to Sun City West, Arizona, where they made their home together until 1994, when Arlie died. In 2000, Audrey returned to Wisconsin to be near her family, and she lived the remainder of her life in Madison at Oakwood Village East, Prairie Ridge.
Audrey loved homemaking. She was the consummate cook and baker, renowned for her pies and sweet rolls. She was also a talented seamstress and tailor, and many of her friends and relatives received clothing and linens that she had sewed or cross-stitched. She enjoyed many other arts and crafts, and loved decorating her home for her family and friends. Always a social creature, she greatly enjoyed playing cards with her friends and siblings and hosting dinners and other events. She made so many friends who loved her.
One of Audrey's greatest gifts was her voice. She sang her entire life, and managed to pass on her love of singing and music to all three of her children and several of her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Audrey had a deep and abiding love of her siblings and their families, and the extended Osterhaus clan spent many vacations, holidays and meals together. Even in Audrey's last years at Oakwood, she was sustained and supported by the love of her siblings.
Audrey will be missed by her loved ones and the staff at Oakwood for her playful sense of humor, her laughter, and her loving nature. Even when she could no longer talk, she charmed those caring for her, and she will be greatly missed by them and her family.
Audrey is survived by her three children, Karen D. Julian of Madison, Wisconsin, Robert (Leslie) Dent of Waupaca, Wisconsin, and Richard (Suzanne) Dent of Flint, Michigan, along with twelve grandchildren and ten great grandchildren. She is also survived by five of her siblings: George Osterhaus of Menominee Falls, Wisconsin; Dorothy Prochnow of Wautoma, Wisconsin; Gordon (Doris) Osterhaus of Roanoke, Virginia; Ruth Tubbs of Plainfield, Wisconsin; and John Osterhaus of Fresno, California. She was predeceased by her parents, her beloved husband, Arlie Dent, her brother Austin Osterhaus and his wife, Alice, her brother-in-law Harold Prochnow, sisters-in-law Sophia Osterhaus and Leona Osterhaus, and an infant brother.
Audrey's family extends its deepest thanks and appreciation to the wonderful staff at Oakwood who gave such fine care to Audrey for so many years, and made those years filled with love and laughter for her. The family also thanks Agrace HospiceCare for its loving support to Audrey and us in her final illness.
A memorial service for Audrey will be held on Sunday, December 16, 2012, at 11:00 a.m., at the Tree of Life Chapel at Oakwood Village East, Prairie Ridge, 5565 Tancho Drive, Madison. A lunch and time for fellowship will follow the service. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials to either Oakwood Foundation of Madison or Agrace HospiceCare, Inc., of Fitchburg.

Abstract: In 1992 the Cadbury Committee report on the financial aspects of corporate governance was published. The Committee had been established following the failures of a number of high profile businesses in the UK which had shaken confidence in the market. Some nine years later, in 2001, the collapse of Enron sent shockwaves through the US market. As a result of the Enron collapse and various other high profile scandals in the years since its occurrence, the US is examining its own corporate governance structures and provisions to determine how these might be improved and help avoid another Enron. The EU similarly is developing principles and legislation to improve corporate governance, and scandals such as Royal Ahold and Parmalat have helped drive further governance reforms. In this paper we detail the development of corporate governance codes in the UK and the adaptation of similar codes in the EU. We discuss the role of the financial sector in corporate governance and how principles for regulation and supervision of the financial sector complement codes of conduct and legislation in the area of corporate governance.

Abstract: The literature on Currency Boards (CB) stops at the water edge in terms of dealing with the totality of the functions of a central bank. Monetary policy, and banking supervision can be "outsourced" in an open economy with substantial foreign direct investment (FDI) in the banking sector if political nationalism does not trump economic rationality. An orthodox CB renders the central banking function redundant in terms of interest rate and exchange rate determination. FDI in banking could perform the same role for the supervisory function of central banks. We use the case of Estonia to illustrate the feasibility of, and constraints on, outsourcing of central bank functions. A brief discussion of the Argentinian experience is used for contrast. Key words: Currency Board, Foreign Banks, Supervision, Regional Integration,outsourcing. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7168

Alicante, 5 November: the starting signal was given at 2 pm local time. Sporting his JeanRichard Diverscope, Groupama 4 skipper Franck Cammas and his teammates set off on the first leg of the race, heading for Cape Town in South Africa.
We first reported on Franck Cammas and his sponsorship by JeanRichard back in June of this year, when they were busy making preparations for the race.
The evening before the race, JeanRichard General Manager Massimo Macaluso and Groupama CEO Jean-Luc Baucherel paid a visit to show their support and encouragement for the skipper and his team as they undertake what is undoubtedly a major sporting challenge: over 8 months and 9 legs, the 6 race teams will cover more than 39,270 miles across 4 oceans.
Physical and mental preparation
Franck Cammas and his teammates have trained hard in preparation for the event, first on the ocean against the other teams in the Fastnet race last August, and also in the mountains, conquering the summits of the Alps - a surefire way to strengthen team spirit. It takes an unbreakable team spirit to set out in a precarious monohull and race for long periods against the cream of international talent.
Following the race
Fans can follow the race and the position of the teams at www.cammas-groupama.com .
JeanRichard, the official timekeeper for Franck Cammas, will display the countdown between each audio and visual conversation between race headquarters and the team. Groupama Sailing Team is the only team to have set up this brand new, unique link for 9 months. The sessions are scheduled for 12:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Groupama's race HQ, located at 21, Boulevard Malesherbes in the 8th arrondissement of Paris.
"The JeanRichard Manufacture is very proud to be associated with this great skipper, a worthy and respectful successor to Eric Tabarly, who set out on this extraordinary human adventure in 1993".
Massimo Macaluso
"This 8-month Everest of an offshore race is a challenge I wanted to take on with the support of the JeanRichard Manufacture. See you in Galway for the final watch test results.
Franck Cammas
Race update
On November 29th, Groupama 4 took 3rd place in the first leg of the Volvo Ocean Race by arriving at Cape Town behind Team Telefonica in first and Camper in second. But of course there's still a long way to go.

Two county jails in southern Illinois are allowing inmates to use electronic cigarettes, and other counties are considering it.
Jails often ban inmates from smoking cigarettes, but White County and Saline County are letting inmates use the nicotine-infused vapor inhalers. Officials in Franklin, Wabash and Williamson counties also are deciding if they'll let inmates use electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes.
Jails in other states are using the e-cigarettes to raise money for jail programs.
White County jail administrator Randy Cobb said the experiment has slowed contraband and raised inmate morale.
"I think it's a trend all counties will eventually adopt," Cobb told Lee Enterprises newspapers.
Saline County jail administrator Brian Bennett says there haven't been any problems at his Harrisburg lockup.
"Initially I was against it," Bennett said. "But I haven't seen any issues with it so far."
The Illinois Department of Corrections bars the product from being sold at prison commissaries. IDOC spokesman Tom Shaer said that policy "is likely to remain in place."
The American Lung Association in Illinois says it's "deeply troubled" by jails using e-cigarettes to make money. It said in a statement that it "urges county leaders to find an alternate way to support the jail, one that does not jeopardize the health of both inmates and staff."
Earlier this year, Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation that bans selling e-cigarettes to minors.

This is my version of Fenced In, a pattern by Elizabeth Hartman that is in her book "The Practical Guide to Patchwork." I made it as the sample for the Modern Quilting class I'm teaching beginning later this month at Sewn Studio.
I had a mini photo shoot yesterday at the Museum of Appalachia in Norris, Tennessee. We were on our way home with a visit from my in-laws and we always stop there on our way back to Ohio.
I thought it was apropros to hang the quilt, which is a modern take on the traditional Rail Fence pattern, over a split rail fence.
I even made my little helpers pose in front of the quilt for a few pictures.
I even made my little helpers pose in front of the quilt for a few pictures.
Fenced In is a great pattern. The instructions are very easy to follow and the quilt came together quickly. I think it works well for both those who are new at quilting, as well as those who are more experienced who want to construct a quilt with a visually bold pattern in not a lot of time.
For my sample I used a mix of fabrics from Tula Pink's Parisville line, Anna Maria Horner's Innocent Crush, and Amy Butler's Soul Blossoms, with a Moda Bella solid as the sashing and borders, all from Sewn Studio.

Mitchell and Rags ham it up for the camera.
We don't know about you, but in our opinion, one of the best parts of being a rider is getting to introduce your non-rider friends and family to the horse world. Whether it's watching your larger-than-life dad get nervous around your first horse, or seeing your younger cousin's face light up the first time she pats a pony's muzzle, there's something wonderful about spreading the love.
With that in mind, we couldn't resist sharing this adorable report written by Mitchell, the nephew of SmartPak's own Susan T., Director of Barn Programs.

Video Game Halloween Costumes
Video Games have been a part of our popular culture for a long time because they are so valuable as entertainment, so it's not surprising to find them getting more sophisticated every year. Best of all, there are so many different sorts of characters and styles to choose from, so it's very unlikely that there wouldn't be a type of video game costume to suit you. In the high-intensity, graphically demanding types of game, you most often find yourself becoming a powerful figure who can vanquish scores of enemies through increasingly more devastating attack combinations, such as an assassin, fighter, and supernatural force who can wield magic. Filling the shoes of a hero is always incredibly satisfying, especially when wearing body armor, a tunic, or just baring your sewn-on muscles. Get the perfect video game costume now!

Although I can still access the CF card from the camera, I can take pictures and browse them. It's just that the mac can't mount the CF card anymore (I can read other cards). The same card was working fine before the formatting.
The very weird thing is that I can't see the CF card anywhere (not in /Volumes, not in Disk Utility) and same thing happens if I try to read the CF card by connecting the camera with the USB cable. But still I can see the content of the CF card from the camera browser. The card is a Sandisk Ultra II (2GB). And this happens since I've formatted the card from the 300D with the UnDutchables Firmware.
I have tried reading the card with a PC and I got the same result, Windows show the drive letter but throws an error if I try to open the disk.
I have also tried the same process with a different CF card and I got the same result (I can't access the CF card anymore).
Any suggestion?


text: Thursday, October 24, 2013 NIH to Fund Research on Robotic Ankle Exoskeletons for Patients Recovering From Stroke The National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering has announced a $2.4 million funding program focused on the development of robotic technologies, including a project to help researchers evaluate designs for ankle "exoskeletons" for patients recovering from stroke. Titled "Novel Platform for Rapid Exploration of Robotic Ankle Exoskeleton Control," the research will attempt to establish a way to consistently test controls and designs used in powered braces and other devices. The design research was 1 of 3 areas to be funded; NIH will also back research on the development of a "co-robotic cane" for people with visual impairments, and the creation of a robotic catheter that could adjust for heart movement and blood flow when patients are undergoing procedures to treat atrial fibrillation. The awards mark the second year of NIH's participation in the National Robotics Initiative (NRI), a commitment among multiple federal agencies to support the development of a new generation of robots that work cooperatively with people, known as co-robots. NRI has issued an announcement for research applications in 2014, and NIH says it is interested particularly in proposals that support the development of assistive robotic technology to achieve functional independence in humans, improve quality of life, assist with behavioral therapy and personalized care, and promote wellness/health. APTA offers information on the use of technology in patient care, and has produced podcasts on robotics in physical therapy.

We've talked quite a bit about the fragmentation of social media here at AVC. Blogging at WordPress, sharing photos with your friends on Facebook and with the world on Instagram, Tweeting at Twitter, Checking in on Foursquare, Pinning on Pinterest, Tumbling on Tumblr, sharing video on YouTube and audio on Soundcloud. This is where things are going.
There are many reasons for this fragmentation and we've discussed them. I think the big reasons are the move to mobile where features are delivered via an app on your home screen rather than inside some monolithic web app and the desire to curate application specific social graphs instead of one graph to rule them all.
But regardless of why this is happening, it is happening. And so there is an opportunity to aggregate all of this activity on a single URL where followers can see the totality of a person's social activity.

You get a very generous amount (50 ml) for just £7 in a cute tube decorated with butterflies, as always. The product isn't too runny, it's more of a cream, it's not sticky and it blends very easily. You only need a tiny bit to highlight cheekbones or you can mix it with your foundation for an all-over glow. By glow I really mean subtle glow with pinky-gold sheen, the highlighter isn't shimmery or glittery at all. You can blend it out really well, so it will be as noticeable as you want it to. I either wear it alone or blend it with my 17 foundation which is a bit dull, to brighten it up a bit. Gives a lovely dewey glow. Love it and would repurchase it if I ran out. Available from Superdrug and Accessorize.

Suspects identified in Burlington hospice office break-in
Two teens have been identified as suspects in a recent break-in and theft at a Triad hospice office.
Joseph Leonard Patrick, and Michael Alan Thomas, both 19 and of Burlington, were charged in connection with an incident Feb. 24 at the Hospice Home Office at 914 Chapel Hill Road in Burlington.
Along with stealing various items, the suspects caused about $60,000 in damage during the break-in, Burlington police said.
Items belonging to the Hospice Home office were recovered from a home on Turrentine Street, police said. Investigators executed a search warrant at the home after receiving a tip Friday, police said.
Patrick is charged with breaking and entering a business, felony larceny, possession of stolen goods and injury to real property.
Charges are still pending against Thomas.
Anyone with information that can help with the investigation is asked to call Burlington Police at (336) 229-3500 or Alamance County CrimeStoppers at 229-7100.

What's old is new again, sighed John Buzzard, an executive with FICO's Card Alert Service. The occasion was the release of a new FICO report that tracks card fraud. The big trend: fraud is up, said Buzzard, and old-fashioned skimming at bank and credit union ATMs is leading the way.
"Criminals are attacking financial institution-owned ATMs," said Buzzard, referring to the use of skimmers affixed to ATMs to gather magnetic stripe data. Usually there's an associated pinhole camera to get PINs.
In an era dominated by technology anxieties – Zeus, DDoS and Chinese Advanced Persistent Threats for instance – it is sobering to be reminded that a lot of ongoing theft is skimming, which dates back 30-plus years and is technically about as simple as using a sheet of carbon paper to make a copy of a document.
Lately, crooks have had their eyes fixed on financial institution ATMs. Skimming at POS devices in fact dipped significantly from 2011 to 2012. In 2011 POS fraud accounted for 79% of incidents. In 2012 the POS share fell to 36%.
Bank ATMs meantime climbed to 46% of skimming incidents in 2012, according to the FICO numbers.
Card fraud is up in 20 states, according to the FICO data. Most of the East Coast saw significant jumps.
The state with the biggest year-on-year increase: South Dakota, up 26%.
An interactive map offers state-by-state data.
A new wrinkle: "We are seeing more amateurs involved in card skimming." In a down economy the sizable returns seem to be attracting newcomers, elaborated Buzzard. "Would you rather make $30,000 in a year – or a day?"
Technology advances also may be luring in newcomers. Buzzard said the cost of the gear needed to skim keeps plunging – he estimated $3,000 to $5,000 would be ample to get started.
Then too, technology tweaks are making it safer for crooks to deploy skimmers. "If the criminal uses Bluetooth" – wireless data transmission tools – "to gather the data he has harvested, risk of detection is very low," said Buzzard.
That's because the two usual moments of vulnerability for a skimmer crook is when he installs the skimmer and then again when he takes it out. But if he is willing to abandon the skimmer onsite, that cuts his chances of arrest in half.
Those who are arrested – which occurs rarely – usually are "money mules," said Buzzard, low-level criminals who are paid a percentage of the proceeds to harvest money. Of course, the amateurs also run risks arising from inexperience.
The criminal heads of the skimming enterprises tend to be well insulated, said Buzzard.
Mainly, too, skimming is easy pickings for crooks, suggested Buzzard. As financial institutions toughen one attack surface – making it harder to skim in the ATM card slot, for instance –
criminals migrate to other attack surfaces. He pointed to the rise in vestibule door skimmers, where crooks gather mag stripe data when consumers swipe their card to gain entry to an ATM behind a locked door.
Will the conversion to PIN and chip, EMV-compliant cards – supposedly slated to happen by 2015 – immediately end skimming? Buzzard doubts it. His guess is that will take a year or three beyond 2015 before most ATMs and similar devices are in fact EMV compliant.

By Andrew R.C. Marshall and Stuart Grudgings
TACLOBAN, Philippines, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Desperation gripped Philippine islands devastated by Typhoon Haiyan as looting turned deadly on Wednesday and survivors panicked over shortages of food, water and medicine, some digging up underground water pipes and smashing them open.
Five days after one of the strongest storms ever recorded slammed into cities and towns in the central Philippines, anger and frustration boiled over on Wednesday as essential supplies dwindled. Some survivors scrawled signs reading "Help us".
Controversy also emerged over the death toll. President Benigno Aquino said local officials had overstated the loss of life, saying it was closer to 2,000 or 2,500 than the 10,000 previously estimated. His comments, however, drew scepticism from some aid workers.
Some areas appeared to teeter near anarchy amid widespread looting of shops and warehouses for food, water and supplies.
There were reports of gunfire between security forces and armed men near a mass grave in worst-hit Tacloban in Leyte province, but city administrator Tecson John Lim denied the clash based on information he had received from the army.
Eight people were crushed to death when looters raided rice stockpiles in a government warehouse in the town of Alangalang, causing a wall to collapse, local authorities said.
Other looters still managed to cart away 33,000 bags of rice weighing 50 kg (110 lb) each, said Orlan Calayag, administrator of the state-run grain agency National Food Authority.
Warehouses owned by food and drinks company Universal Robina Corp and drug company United Laboratories were ransacked in the storm-hit town of Palo in Leyte, along with a rice mill in Jaro, said Alfred Li, head of the Leyte Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Tacloban city administrator Tecson John Lim said 90 percent of the coastal city of 220,000 people had been destroyed, with only 20 percent of residents receiving aid. Houses were now being looted because warehouses were empty, he said.
"The looting is not criminality. It is self-preservation," Lim told Reuters.
Some survivors in Tacloban dug up water pipes in their desperate need for water.
"We don't know if it's safe. We need to boil it. But at least we have something," said Christopher Dorano, 38.
"There have been a lot of people who have died here."
Resident Rachel Garduce said the aid - 3 kg (6 lb) of rice and 1 litre (34 ounces) of water per household a day - was not enough in her ravaged Tacloban neighbourhood. Her aunt in Manila, 580 km (360 miles) to the north, was travelling by road and ferry to bring supplies. "We are hoping she won't get hijacked," she said.
Secretary Mar Roxas denied law and order were breaking down. "It is wrong to say there is lawlessness in the city," he told reporters.
The government has been overwhelmed by the force of the typhoon, which destroyed large swathes of Leyte province where local officials have said they feared 10,000 people died, many drowning in a tsunami-like surge of seawater.
Aquino, who has been on the defensive over his handling of the disaster, said the government was still gathering information from various storm-struck areas and the death toll may rise. "Ten thousand, I think, is too much," Aquino told CNN in an interview. "There was emotional drama involved with that particular estimate."
Official confirmed deaths stood at 2,275 on Wednesday, with only 84 missing, a figure aid workers consider off the mark.
"At this time it is definitely not 10,000," Cabinet Secretary Rene Almendras told a news conference. "There has been a body count based on the dead lying in the streets but we can't be accurate because there is still, some people say, there are people buried in certain areas."
Some aid workers cast doubt over Aquino's estimate.
"Probably it will be higher because numbers are just coming in. Many of the areas we cannot access," Gwendolyn Pang, secretary general of the Philippine Red Cross, told Reuters.
The preliminary number of missing, according to the Red Cross, is 22,000. Pang cautioned that figure could include people who have since been located.
Google, which has set up websites to help people share and look for information about missing persons during catastrophes, currently lists some 65,500 people as missing from the typhoon. The Person Finder website allows anyone to list a person missing and to search the database for names.
But Google staff warned against reading too much into the data, pointing out that a similar website set up after the Japanese tsunami in 2011 listed more than 600,000 names, far higher than the final death toll of nearly 20,000.
There are not enough flights from Tacloban airport to cope with the exodus from this stricken town. As darkness fell on Wednesday, Philippine Special Forces held back hundreds of people, many of whom had walked for hours to reach the airport and then waited for days with little or no food or water.
When asked how she and her four children endured three days of waiting in searing heat and torrential downpours, Marivic Badilla, 41, held up a small battered umbrella. "We have been sheltering under this," she said, tears streaming down her face.
Many people complained that military families were given priority to board the C-130 cargo planes out of Tacloban. "If you have a friend or relative in the military, you get priority," said Violeta Duzar, 57, who had waited at the airport since Sunday with eight family members, including children.
"They say 'Fall in line! Fall in line!' and we all line up. Then nothing happens," she said of the soldiers presiding over chaotic scenes.
None of the aid passing through the airport had been distributed to the needy crowd at its gates.
Firming the resolve of those at the airport to get on a flight out are reports and rumours of looting and rape in the ruined city.
"It's the criminals who escaped from the prison. They're raping the women," said Duzar. "Tacloban is a dead city."
Tacloban city administrator Lim said that "less than ten" prisoners escaped from jail after the typhoon struck.
More the 670,000 people have been displaced by the storm and nearly 12 percent of the population directly affected, the United Nations said.
The World Health Organisation said teams from Belgium, Japan, Israel and Norway had arrived in the Philippines to set up field hospitals.
The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington will arrive later this week, carrying about 5,000 sailors and more than 80 aircraft. It has been joined by four other U.S. Navy ships.
The United States, a close ally and former colonial ruler of the Philippines, has also provided eight C-130 cargo planes for delivering aid, said Cabinet Secretary Almendras.
Rescuers have reached some previously cut off regions, such as Guiuan, a wind-swept city of 40,000 people that was spared the storm surge that washed over Tacloban. Local officials say 85 people were killed in Guiuan, with 24 missing.
The typhoon also levelled Basey, a seaside town in Samar province about 10 km (6 miles) across a bay from Tacloban. Local officials say 80 people were killed there.
The overall financial cost of the destruction was hard to assess. Initial estimates varied widely, with a report from German-based CEDIM Forensic Disaster Analysis putting the total at $8 billion to $19 billion.

Bagging It!
This peak is the highest point of the enormous Arjuno-Welirang range, located just 50 kilometres south of Indonesia's second largest city, Surabaya. The lower Welirang peak is active and still mined by local sulphur collectors. Arjuno (also spelled and pronounced 'Arjuna') itself is dormant and therefore perhaps a little less interesting than Welirang. The twin Kembar peaks nestle between them and a traverse of the entire range is one of the finest hikes in Java. It's a huge area so camping for a night or two is absolutely necessary. If time is not an issue, then the best thing to do would be to visit both main peaks for dawn (i.e two nights on the mountains) but strong hikers could complete the range in two very long, strenuous days.
A guide is necessary for all routes (except Tretes to Welirang peak only, which is, for the most part, a wide stone track that jeeps sometimes use) as the navigating many of the paths can be very difficult indeed on the higher slopes because there are just so many of them and not many signs. Unfortunately, finding good guides seems to be quite difficult for this mountain range and there have been several reports of guides with little knowledge of the range climbing totally unprepared. Therefore it is best to try to arrange guides in advance rather than just turning up at the starting point. The little permit office in Tretes is perhaps your best bet if you can't arrange in advance but definitely need a guide.
There are several routes – permits should be easy to arrange at all of them (if not, just tell your hotel where you're going and when you'll be back) – the most popular and well-defined being from the mountain resort of Tretes (760m) to the north of the range. This trail leads up a wide stone track to the sulphur collectors' huts (roughly 5 hours) and then on to the fascinating crater area of Welirang (3,156m, another 3 hours to the highest point of the rim on the far side of the active Kawah Jero summit crater). Be warned that although navigating this route is relatively easy, it is not particularly pleasant on your feet (especially when descending) and it is a substantial climb of over 2,400m in elevation gain. That is why the Sumber Brantas/Cangar route is growing in popularity (at 1,750m it's by far the highest starting point).
The Tretes trail leads up through sparse pine woodland and an outlying peak, Gunung Ringgit (approx 2,477m high according to the basic map given to us at the Tretes office), is clearly visible on the left of the trail. Notable landmarks after the office at the trailhead (812m) include joining the main wide track (950m – waypoint it if you have a GPS for the return journey as it is not marked!), Pet Bocor Warung (970m), Pos Pantau / Pos Jaga (1,000m), Pos Kokopan (1,650m) which has a good water source and a shelter, a hut with seats (1770m), a small stream (2,115m), a flat area suitable for 2 or 3 tents (2,210m), before arriving at the cluster of sulphur collectors' huts (2,450m). After the huts, there is a popular camping area (2,485m).
At around this point you either stay to the right for Welirang or veer leftwards towards Arjuno. This spot is pretty much equidistant between Welirang and Arjuno but it takes a little longer to reach Arjuno. Onwards to Welirang, the main col is reached (2,965m) where you turn right along a very pleasant, near-flat track offering great views down the other side of the mountain (in the direction of Cangar and towards Gunung Anjasmoro and the unique shape of Boklorobubuh). Further along, a small trail leads off to the left. This is the sulphur collectors' trail and you should be able to see them on a smokey side crater of the mountain, surrounded with sacks of large yellow rocks.
The trail to the summit of Welirang bends round a little to the right, passing an old, dormant crater full of vegetation on the left before leading across a rocky plateau where many local student hikers have written messages on the patches of flat volcanic sand using rocks. Finally you reach the summit crater – Kawah Jero – complete with an active sulphur fumarole. A circuit of the rim can be done fairly easily in about 30 minutes or so. The highest two tops both offer incredible views of Penanggungan (the 'little' mountain that looks so big from Tretes!) and if you are lucky all of the peaks from Lawu in the west to Raung, hiding behind Argopuro in the east. In fine conditions at first light this is one of the finest viewpoints in the whole of Java.
It takes about 6 hours to return from Welirang summit to Tretes for those not continuing on to Arjuno. For those climbing from Welirang to Arjuno, you can 'bag' the two Kembar peaks en-route (the more northerly Kembar Satu – Kembar 1 – 3,037m and the more southerly Kembar Dua – Kembar 2 – 3,113m) but be warned this is the area which it is easiest to become lost in. For those climbing Arjuno from Tretes (but missing out Welirang and just skirting the Kembars) then notable landmarks include Lalijiwo Pleteau (Lembah Kijang) at 2,530m and Batu Gede (2,790m).
The range is also accessible from Selekta/Selecta in the south-west near Batu and from Sumber Brantas/Cangar to the west. This latter route is especially useful for anyone wishing to quickly climb either Welirang or Arjuno as it starts pretty high up (the road ends at 1,800m beyond Pura Luhur Giri Arjuno – a Hindu temple) and leads to a pass between the Kembars. At the top of the pass, hikers can then choose to turn left (north) towards Welirang or right (south) towards Arjuno. Sumber Brantas is 11km beyond Selekta and the hike begins at two cement pillars (1,750m) just before the road descends to Cangar air panas (hot springs) at 1,628m. The start of the trek is a farm track leading through fields of carrots and potatoes. There are plenty of track junctions so local knowledge is essential. At 2,022m the trail enters forest and at 2,110 make sure you turn left rather than heading up to the right. There is a tiny camping area at 2,153m before a reight turn at 2,200m. There is a lot of dense vegetation here so it can be difficult navigating the correct path. The route leads under several large tree trunks before emerging at a slightly larger camping area (2,357m) marked with a large boulder. From here the Kembars are clearly visible in good weather.
The route continues through pine woodland, a right turn at 2,571m (follow the yellow and blue string). After another camping area you will encounter some hot steam emerging from beneath boulders in the middle of the pine woodland (2,644m). The forest ends at 2,900m and the truly great views begin. Soon the trail reaches the top of the pass (2,910m) between the Kembars. This is an excellent and popular place to camp.
To reach Arjuno, take a right turn (south) here. The trail is quite difficult to see at this point so simply follow the contour of the mountain ridge and you will find the correct trail. The first peak you reach is Kembar Dua (Kembar 2 – the southern and slightly higher one at 3,113m) and from here you can enjoy the fantastic panorama to many other mountains both near and far. There are shallow, grassy craters and lots of sulphur vents on this peak so take care not to inhale the gases. From this peak, the trail dips steeply to the col between Kembar Dua/2 (or 'south') and Arjuno – now clearly visible as an impressive, narrow and steep mountain just ahead of you. The trail leading down from Kembar Dua is very steep so take you time and be careful not to head down one of the very dangerous cliff areas. Beyond the col is a large and incredibly wild area of huge volcanic boulders scattered across a minor peak. It's a confusing area and easy to get lost here in bad weather. To avoid this area and head straight to the climb to Arjuno, head round to the left (east) and pick up the trail up the steep pinewood slopes of Arjuna at a green sign (2,851m). It's a long haul up the slopes but the views are incredible – Gunung Butak to the right, Gunung Penanggungan to the left and Welirang behind (north).
There are plenty of place to camp all over Arjuna mountain so finding a spot even at weekends should not be a problem here, especially above 3,100m. The first top you will reach on Arjuno is crowned with a regional boundary marker (3,315m). The trail then descends slightly before heading up to a wider summit area. This is a very similar height to the final top – which most people consider the true summit – and may even be a metre or two higher. From this top Semeru is visible right infront of you. The final top is a very narrow, impressive and boulder-strewn peak and there is a green sign to inform you that you have finally reached the top of Arjuno. This summit itself is known as 'puncak ringgil'.
If not returning the same way, there are routes down to Lawang and Purwosari in the east. Both are long, long hikes which take a minimum of 6/7 hours. Just below the narrow summit with the sign is a trail heading east (in the direction of Semeru). It leads down through pine woodland to a tree with signs on it (3,100m). Here take a left for a route down to Purwosari (which eventually leads to some ancient monuments) or a right turn for Lawang. The Lawang trail is very overgrown but if you keep the huge mountain range of Semeru infront of you it is difficult to get truly lost. Notable landmarks are Shelter 3 ('Pos Mahapena', 2,179m), a border stone at 1,910m, Shelter 2 ('Pos Lincing', 1,597m) which has an actual hut before the trail leads down through the large tea plantation at Wonosari. You finally reach a road at 925m and ojeks can easily be arranged at the security post for the 4km journey to the main Surabaya-Malang road at Lawang.
However, if you have time you can actually stay at Wisata Agro Wonosari – a popular weekend retreat at the tea plantation where there is a good range of accommodation available.
Bagging information by Daniel Quinn (updated July 2013)
- Getting there: Lots of transport options from Surabaya and Malang – taxis, shared cars, buses, ojeks, angkots.
- Accommodation: Tretes and Batu are the best places to stay. The most convenient hotel in Tretes is the Tanjung Plaza which is just metres from the trailhead.
- Guides and GPS Tracks: Want a PDF version for your phone? Looking for a guide? Need GPS tracks and waypoints? Gunung Arjuno information pack can be downloaded here.
- Permits: Easy to arrange at the more popular starting points such as Tretes – take a photocopy of your passport photo page. Non-Indonesians pay Rp25,000 each.
- Water sources: Depends on the route but definitely wise not to rely on sources – take plenty of bottled water with you. The Tretes route up to the sulphur collectors' huts has several reliable year-round water sources (see above).
- Travel insurance: We recommend World Nomads insurance, which is designed for adventurous travellers with cover for overseas medical, evacuation, baggage and a range of adventure sports and activities including mountain hiking.

Origins and Meaning
Arjuno is the Javanese pronunciation of Arjuna. Arjuna is the middle (third) of the five Pandawa brothers who are heroes of the Indian Mahabharata epic and the plays of the wayang purwa, the classical Javanese shadow theatre. Arjuna is renowned as the handsome, invincible warrior of the shadow play, so perhaps the mountain is named "Arjuno" because it is as beautiful and impressive as the shadow theatre character. (George Quinn, 2011)
Gunung Welirang means 'Sulphur Mountain' – for obvious reasons.

I think you missed my earlier point. DOM gave no indications of whether multiple teams killed the same person. That doesn't prove beyond reasonable doubt that you're lying, even if I know I ordered a hit on that person.

Yuba Towing Tray
Yuba Towing Tray – The easiest way to cart a bike
Have you been looking for a way to take more bikes with you? Perhaps you'd rather bike to your cyclocross races to get warmed up? Or maybe you want to take your kid to the park with their bike to gain confidence before having to battle traffic? The Yuba Towing Tray makes it possible to bring along any bike from a 16″ up to a 29er, with a tire width of up to a 2.25″
It is made out of the same material as our Utility decks – recycled milk jugs – and is durable and tough. A side bumper will keep the towed bike from scratching your Mundo. Towing tray kit includes running board with a slot for front tire, adjuster for 20″ or 16″ tires, and bumper.
After installation, to use the towing tray, adjust the support for the size of bike with a screwdriver. Then, use a cam strap to attach the towed bike to the Mundo frame, locking the front tire of the towed bike down to the frame of the Mundo, as shown.
• Color: Black
• Material: HDPE plastic
Note: Tow Trays are compatible only with the Mundo 21-speed V4.0/ V3s and Mundo V4.0/ V3s framesets only.

Robin Gibb Dies at 62
Robin Gibb, co-founder of the Bee Gees, has died after a long battle with colon and liver cancer. He was 62.
The musician passed away Sunday afternoon (May 20), Rolling Stone reports.
Robin and his brothers rocketed to fame during the 70s with songs such as "How Deep Is Your Love," "Night Fever," and "Stayin' Alive." Their Saturday Night Fever soundtrack is credited with the revival of disco.
Robin is survived by wife Dwina Murphy Gibb, four children, and brother and bandmate Barry Gibb.
Our thoughts go out to Robin's family and friends during this difficult time.

Cooking with a Friend: Menu Planning with a CSA Box
Jennifer Maiser writes about locally and sustainably grown food. The Cooking with a Friend series chronicles her cooking and menu planning adventures with her neighbor, J.
Instead of shopping at the farmers' market this week, J. and I let a CSA box be our guide. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture and it is usually a subscription that you pay to a farmer on a monthly basis in order to get a box of the farm's freshest produce. We are lucky enough to have a "casual CSA" here in San Francisco—a favorite farm sells boxes for $25 each, and with a reservation you can pick up a box from a designated area in town on two nights a month. You can opt in and out of the box as you wish, only buying the box when you feel like it. This works perfectly for me, and is very successful for the farm—in fact, they are sold out and not taking new customers at the moment.
I picked up the box on Thursday night and then set about planning how we were going to use our mass amounts of vegetables (a friend once worked out her box to be approximately 16 pounds of produce). I posted the vegetable list in Talk and several readers helped me out with good ideas and advice.
Commenter AliceBlue worried about "losing SE cred" by admitting that she'd never heard of agretti or cardoons. Truthfully, I'd heard of them but never had them in my kitchen. I followed instructions for preparing cardoons from Vegetables from Amaranth to Zuchinni—a book I depend on often when trying a vegetable for the first time—and after boiling them, I cooled and sliced them, then tossed with a quick vinaigrette for a delicious side dish.
We used the agretti in one of my favorite dishes: a cold lentil salad. We are experiencing a heat wave this week, and this salad as taught to me by my friend Stephanie, is a perfect warm weather dish. It's an easy salad made easier when you purchase pre-steamed lentils from the Trader Joe's refrigerator section. The salad only takes a couple minutes and involves making a vinaigrette (olive oil, shallots, mustard, champagne vinegar) and tossing it with the lentils and other ingredients of your choice (Kalamata olives, celery, herbs, agretti). It's healthy and super satisfying.
About a month ago, I was at Costco with a friend and picked up a package of two Fra' Mani meatloafs for $14. Fra' Mani is a artisan salumi company in the Bay Area that is headed by chef Paul Bertolli and uses humanely raised meats. We baked one of the meatloafs this week, and I think it tastes delicious. It is full of flavor, and reminds me a little more of meatballs in texture than the meatloaf I grew up eating. I can't wait until we make the next one. As I wrote this today, I ate a meatloaf sandwich with Fallot mustard, our homemade bread, and lettuce.
When you read the menu below, you'll see that it was heavy on vegetables and a bit light on meat. We had to work hard to make a dent in our veggie box, and will probably be using some of the ingredients in the weeks to come. We made a fantastic quiche with a large bunch of leeks and a bunch of chard, then used a variety of our CSA ingredients in the vegetable soup. The cost was our lowest yet, and I attribute that to the CSA box and the small amount of protein we bought this week.
It was a successful week. We're a couple days into the menu now, and every time I go to the fridge, I want to eat a little of everything.
Final Menu, Week 5
- Vegetable soup with chickpeas and wild rice
- Chard, leek and bacon quiche
- Fra' Mani meatloaf
- No knead bread
- Lentil salad with agretti
- Cardoons with oil and vinegar
- Green salad
Cost: $21 each

First settled in the 1850s, Ballard grew quickly through the last half of the 19th century. After it became known that the Great Northern Railroad would route its trains into Seattle from the north, the town's land was platted and real estate boomed. Boasting of being "the shingle capital of the world," the Ballard's timber and fishing jobs drew many new residents, including a large number of immigrants from Scandinavia.
As it grew, the town built a post office in 1889, a city hall in 1899, and a Carnegie library in 1904. The first bridge over Salmon Bay was completed in 1889, allowing for improved commerce and communications with Seattle. Streetcars and ferries were also operational by the 1890s, and an amusement park at Golden Gardens brought pleasure seekers out to the Ballard beach.
When the town incorporated in 1890, it had 1,636 residents. By 1900, its 4,568 residents made it the seventh largest city in Washington, and the population continued to boom, growing to 17,000 by the time of annexation in 1907. Growth was quickly overwhelming the city's ability to provide services, and a safe water supply was a continuing problem. In 1902, Ballard made an agreement with Seattle to tap into its water system, and was using more than 5 million gallons a year. This expenditure was adding to the city's debt, and many citizens believed that the city was becoming unable to sustain itself.
More than the other annexed cities, Ballard was divided on the issue of merging with Seattle. Indeed, in the first annexation vote in 1905, the citizens decided to remain independent. However, enough minds were changed 15 months later that annexation won out on the second vote. Ballard citizens showed their mixed feelings about the change by draping their city hall with black crepe and flying the flag at half mast on the day of annexation.

Adam's Wreck
Here is Adam and his wreck. As you can see it was more scarer than mine.
He went around a curve and slid on some leaves and turned over. It threw him out and broke his leg.
We are very lucky a broken leg is all it did.
He is still alive and kicking and I can prove it. He made a response to my blog entry "No place To Go" (or something like that).

The Complete Letters of Henry James, 1855-1872, Tom 1
University of Nebraska Press, 2006 - 400
The Complete Letters of Henry Jamesfills a crucial gap in modern literary studies by presenting in a scholarly edition the complete letters of one of the great novelists and letter writers of the English language. Comprising more than ten thousand letters reflecting on a remarkably wide range of topics--from James's own life and literary projects to broader questions on art, literature, and criticism--this edition is an indispensable resource for students of James and of American and English literature, culture, and criticism. It will also be essential for research libraries throughout North America and Europe and for scholars who specialize in James, the European novel, and modern literature. Pierre A. Walker and Greg W. Zacharias have conceived this edition according to the exacting standards of the Committee on Scholarly Editions. The first in the series, this two-volume work includes the letters from 1854 to 1869 in volume one and the letters from 1869 to 1872 in volume two. Pierre A. Walker is a professor of English at Salem State College. He is the editor ofHenry James on Culture: Collected Essays on Politics and the American Social Scene, available in a Bison Books edition, and the author ofReading Henry James in French Cultural Contexts. Greg W. Zacharias is a professor of English and the founder and director of the Center for Henry James Studies at Creighton University. He is the author ofHenry James and the Morality of Fiction.

Jimmy Butler scored a career-high 19 points and Nate Robinson added 15 as the Chicago Bulls defeated the Charlotte Bobcats 93-85 on Monday night.
Luol Deng returned to the Bulls' lineup after missing five games with a hamstring injury, and scored 12 points in 31 minutes. The Bulls won three of five without Deng as his absence was eased by the strong play of Butler, who returned to a reserve role.
Joakim Noah finished with 13 points, 18 rebounds and seven assists to help Central Division-leading Chicago win for the seventh time in its last nine games.
Kemba Walker and Ben Gordon led the Bobcats with 18 points apeice. Charlotte has lost nine of its last 11 games.
Chicago pulled away late in the third quarter behind Robinson. After Walker's jumper erased a 14-point deficit and tied the score at 55, the Bulls scored 13 straight points. Robinson sparked the run with a pair of 3-pointers then had a steal to set up a dunk by Butler to put Chicago up 68-55.
Robinson wasn't done. He made a pull-up 3, then had a steal and layup to give Chicago a 75-61 lead. Robinson stared down Ramon Sessions after the layup.
Charlotte got it within six late in the fourth quarter, but Carlos Boozer put the game away with a dunk over Bismack Biyombo with 1:25 left.
Jeff Adrien had 14 points and 10 rebounds in his first NBA start. Gordon scored 15 points in the second half.
Leading 23-20 early in the second quarter, Chicago extended its lead with a 17-6 run. Butler had six points in the span and Deng made a 3 to make it 40-26.
Kirk Hinrich's 3-pointer as time expired in the second quarter gave Chicago a 49-40 halftime lead. Butler led the Bulls with 10 points in the opening two quarters, and Boozer had nine. Walker led the Bobcats with 11.
Charlotte was able to erase Chicago's 14-point lead as Gordon's jumper got the Bobcats to 54-53 and Walker's jumper tied the score at 55 with 3:36 left in the third quarter.
The Bulls have won five of their last seven games against teams with winning records, including two victories at Eastern Conference leaders Miami and New York. However, they have struggled to get victories against teams with sub .500 records. Their latest poor showing came in a loss to the Wizards on Saturday night.
Charlotte pulled out a 10-point win against the Bulls to snap their 18-game losing streak on New Year's Eve.
Adrien, called up from the D-League in December, replaced Hakim Warrick in Charlotte's starting lineup.

Occupational safety and health
In Austria, occupational safety and health is understood as the protection of the lives and the health of employees in the workplace. The basic idea behind this concept is the protection of persons who are in a situation in which they are financially dependent on their employer.
Like in many other European countries occupational safety and health law is based on directives of the European Union.
In the following section you can find basic information on occupational safety and health in Austria, such as information on concerned parties and legislation as well as other issues relevant for employers, employees and other persons who plan to operate in Austria.
OSH in Austria
Occupational health and safety has a long tradition in Austria. In the mid-19th century the first legislative provisions were created which formed the foundations for the legislation on occupational safety and health. In 1883 the Trades Inspectorate was established as a supervisory authority. At the same time, occupational health surveillance and safety technologies were developed, as well as the social insurance system with its tasks in the fields of prevention, treatment and rehabilitation.
In this way, the country already had a well-developed occupational safety and health system when it became a member of the European Union in 1995. However, accession to the EU led to the systematic further development of new concepts and many regulations.
In Austria, occupational safety and health is understood as the protection of the lives and the health of employees in the workplace. The basic idea behind this concept is the protection of persons who are in a situation in which they are financially dependent on their employer. The self-employed are therefore not generally covered by the regulations on occupational safety and health.
Regulations on working hours, the adherence to driving times and the working conditions of pregnant women and young persons also form part of occupational safety and health. Labour law issues such as employment contracts, collective agreements or matters of social insurance law are, however, a separate field. Combating wage and social dumping is therefore not the task of occupational safety and health.
Attempts are being made to resolve old and new challenges in occupational safety and health by more intensive networking between the different actors in the field. Alongside the statutory obligation for the authorities and the social insurance system to work together, or the compulsory regular consultations with the social partners, voluntary cooperation has also been strengthened. Since 2007 there have been multi-annual national occupational safety and health strategies in which all national actors are represented. The themes are above all the prevention of accidents at work, work-related illnesses, the assessment of risks, raising awareness for safety and health at work, and initial and further training in occupational safety and health.
