The Office 100
The Office celebrated 100 episodes yesterday at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu. Most (all?) castmembers were in attendance including the adorable Jenna Fischer and of course everyone's boyfriend John Krasinski who looks like he has tiny ankles and this is not attractive to me so let's forget about them please, quickly, right away...
Am loving Idris Elba on the show but lately there's been a plateau, non? After all, the original only went 2 seasons + 1 series special. Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm allowing my feelings for Rainn Wilson to cloud my opinion. He pulled several dicky moves in Toronto last year – throwing a hissy fit backstage at an event (and it was not a joke) and then slobbering all over some girl on a street corner – so now when I see him, all I can hear in my head is: really??? YOU???

昆山视窗二手市场ScienceShot- Anatomy of an Odd AsteroidScienceShot: Anatomy of an Odd Asteroid The oddly shaped, near-Earth asteroid 25143 Itokawa just got a lot weirder. When researchers analyzed how the object's brightness changed over the course of 10 short intervals between 2001 and 2013, as measured by Earth-based telescopes, they found that the 535-meter-long cosmic peanut (inset) wasn't rotating as expected. A detailed analysis suggested that Itokawa's center of mass (about which the asteroid rotates) was 21 meters closer to the smaller end of the peanut than expected—a sign that the smaller end of the body, for whatever reason, is denser than the larger end. Although a shift of 21 meters doesn't sound like much, that disparity suggests that the smaller end of the asteroid is more than 1.6 times as dense as the plumper end (main image), the researchers report today in Astronomy Astrophysics. Previously, some researchers have proposed that Itokawa is actually two asteroids in contact with one another, a scenario strongly supported by the new results, the team contends. It's not clear whether the odd configuration results from the merger of a two-asteroid system or merely clumps of material that fell back together after a larger asteroid was blasted apart by an immense collision. Further analyses may yield an answer, the researchers say, and they also may provide insights into how asteroids and other bodies formed during earlier days of the solar system. One more oddity revealed by the new study: Due to the peculiar shape and weight distribution of the asteroid and irregularities in the way that heat is radiated into space, the rate at which Itokawa spins is accelerating, making it rotate about 45 milliseconds faster with each passing Earth year.See more ScienceShots.

The address of MLC.FM's Designated Agent to Receive Notification of Claimed Infringement ("Designated Agent") is listed at the end of this policy.
It is MLC.FM's policy to (1) block access to or remove material that it believes in good faith to be the intellectual property of a third party (e.g., copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, etc.) that has been illegally copied and distributed by any of our advertisers, affiliates, content providers, or users through MLC.FM's Site or Service (as such terms are defined in MLC.FM's Terms of Use; and (2) remove and discontinue service to repeat infringers. A repeat infringer is a user for whom MLC.FM has received more than three notices of claimed infringement or for which MLC.FM has had to remove content more than three times. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, MLC.FM reserves the right to immediately terminate the account of any user for egregious infringing activities in MLC.FM's sole determination and discretion.

(5) The statement "I swear under penalty of perjury that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed, and that the information in this notification is accurate. I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above as allegedly infringing is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law."
Note that a copy of your legal notice will be forwarded to the party responsible for providing the alleged infringing content.
Please do not include any information in your report other than the above items.

It is MLC.FM's policy:
(1) to remove or disable access to the infringing material;

(1) A physical or electronic signature of the content provider or user;
(2) Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access to has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled;

Cape Cod Neighborhood Support Coalition
Cape Cod Neighborhood Support Coalition
Strong Families Need Strong Support
The mission of the Cape Cod Neighborhood Support Coalition (CCNSC) is to strengthen families and the resources that support them in order to help prevent child abuse and neglect in our region.
We strive to achieve this mission by promoting effective community-based family support initiatives, and by participating in coordination and collaboration among family support providers, practitioners and policy-makers.
The priorities of the CCNSC are:
In response to the federal Family Preservation and Support Act, the Massachusetts Department of Social Services (DSS) began the regional "Community Connections" initiative in 1993.
CCNSC started its work strengthening families and resources in East Falmouth and Mashpee, then the entire Upper Cape, and ultimately across the Cape and Islands.
Today, 22 Community Connections coalitions across the state, including the CCNSC, share a mission to prevent child abuse and neglect. But we each work independently and locally in response to our individual community's needs, wants, strengths and constraints. We are federally funded but community-based.

Ask one of the millions of youth in Nairobi or New Delhi about their concerns for the future, and more than likely the response will be that he or she is worried about finding a job.
There are more than 1.2 billion young people between the ages of 15 and 24 in the world. Seventy-five million of them are unemployed, according to the International Labor Organization (ILO).
We know that for youth to transition smoothly into adulthood and contribute to society, they need jobs. The global community needs to create 5 million jobs each month during the next decade to make sure those 1.2 billion young people have an opportunity to secure a decent future.
At the World Bank Group, we know that we can't end extreme poverty by 2030 without addressing the issue of youth unemployment. That's why on Oct 10, the World Bank Group, in partnership with the public sector, civil society and the private sector, will host an open dialogue to talk about how to create jobs for young people.
What do governments and stakeholders need to do make sure you have jobs? I encourage you to ask questions about youth employment on our web page, or via Twitter using #wblive during the event. Our panelists will answer some of your questions.You can watch the event live on Oct. 10 from 2-3:30 p.m. ET/18:00-19:30 GMT

Not sure if I am the only one, but I would very much like an overhaul of the distance units to be much more customizable. For instance, I would prefer to set all distances over a million miles into light seconds or light years, but no light minutes/hours/days etc. Others might want it other ways. I would also like to have miles per hour at low speeds, not feet/meters per second. Also, the radius of stars and planets should always be given in miles/kilometers with comparisons to radius of the sun and earth (respectively) in brackets. Never "light hours" or anything lol.
Also, I would VERY much love an ETA, that calculates your velocity and the distance to the object and gives you a time to arrival. Dynamic of course.
Thanks for your consideration!

Jaleesa Earthely
Jaleesa Earthely is completing an internship at the Springfield Urban League as part of her BBA.
Jaleesa choose to work at this community organization that's vital to Springfield. According to their website, the Springfield Urban League, Inc. is a "nonprofit, civil rights and community-based movement that serves nearly 6,000 people annually, providing direct services, research and policy advocacy to assist individuals and communities in reaching their fullest potential". Just a couple of their programs include the SAY Program focusing on the social and academic empowerment of youth in grades 6-12 and the YouthBuild Program involving core issue facing low-income communities such as housing, education, employment, crime prevention, and leadership development.
In Her Own Words
While at the Springfield Urban League I work in the fiscal department, where I assist with just about everything! Some of my duties include printing checks, creating spreadsheets, coding purchases into accounts payable, and assisting with transforming from one fiscal year to another.
Working at the Springfield Urban League has helped me understand why it is important to be organized and what procedures are necessary to get there. Working side by side with the finance assistants is great because they help me to learn and to understand the job. Even when it takes me longer to understand something, they patiently explain to me what to do and answer my questions.
One aspect of the job that I like is that I'm working with many different sites, and I'm finding out about all the programs that we offer to the community. I'm seeing how important the details have to be in the finance department – I think about the times before when I thought people were being difficult but now I understand.

When you think of U.S. cities with wrestling crowds that are going to voice their opinions no matter what, places like New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis and Chicago come to mind. As the 2014 Royal Rumble proved on Sunday night, it's time to add Pittsburgh to that list.
The disapproval of the fans at the Consol Energy Center at how the Royal Rumble match went down will be the lasting memory for anyone who watched the show. Upset that Daniel Bryan wasn't in the annual battle royal, the people in attendance booed the victory by Batista heartily, threatening to turn the returning superstar into a heel whether the WWE had planned it that way or not.
Bryan had lost clean to Bray Wyatt in the event's fantastic opening match, so the fact that fans still expected him to enter and possibly win the Rumble is a testament to how truly over he is right now. He took to Twitter later in the night to state that "the machine" didn't want him in the main event and that fans should keep making themselves heard, and even if that statement turns out to be a work, one can't help but suspect it reflects his true feelings.
CM Punk and the Shield's Seth Rollins entered the Rumble match first, and both lasted almost 50 minutes in the ring. Rollins' teammate Roman Reigns took perhaps the biggest star turn on the night, breaking the record for most eliminations by tossing out 12 men. That tally included both Rollins and Dean Ambrose, something that probably won't bode well for the ongoing unity of the Shield.
Previously unannounced entrants included Kane, NXT's Alexander Rusev, Kevin Nash, the returning Sheamus, Los Matadores' mascot El Torito and JBL (thrown out by Reigns after only seconds in the ring). But when Rey Mysterio entered in the 30th and final position and the crowd realized that Bryan wasn't coming out, the booing began in earnest.
When the dust settled, the final four men vying for a WrestleMania main event slot were Punk, Reigns, Sheamus and Batista. Punk became the first to fall when Kane returned to ringside, eliminated him and sent him through the Spanish announce table with a choke slam.
Sheamus was next, going into the record books as Reigns' final victim. A battle of spears ensued, but the Animal prevailed and locked up the WWE World Heavyweight title opportunity that was his stated goal during his first appearance on a WWE show in nearly four years earlier in the week.
That leaves Bryan without a WrestleMania dance partner for now –- rumors have him facing Sheamus or the Undertaker depending on the source – but one thing's for sure: if Pittsburgh is a reflection of the WWE Universe as a whole, there better be a good plan in place for him going forward or there are going to be more boos between now and April.
The next WWE pay-per-view is Elimination Chamber on February 17th.
Oh you didn't know… the way we do this by now? Dale's comments are in italics and Nick's are in plain type.
Daniel Bryan vs. Bray Wyatt w/ Erick Rowan and Luke Harper
Bray tries to overpower Bryan, shoving him into the corner. Byran fights out, only to be taken down hard with a clothesline. Bryan responds with knees to the mid-section. Bray whips Bryan into the ropes; Bryan shoots off, dodges Bray and dives through the ropes to take out Harper. Bryan looks like he is in trouble, but Bray sends his troops to back, telling them he doesn't need them to fight his war. Bryan nails Bray from behind and rolls him back into the ring. Bray reverses a whip but runs into a boot in the corner. Bryan climbs the turnbuckle, only to be chopped to the floor. Bryan ducks a charge from Bray, who collides with the ring steps and goes flying into the security barrier.
Winner… Bray Wyatt at 21 minutes and 30 seconds
Match Rating: 9.5/10
Renee Young talks to Paul Heyman, who puts over his client Brock Lesnar. Heyman says this is the dawning of a new era, one where the WWE will be dominated by Brock Lesnar.
He actually said that the WWE Universe was going to be "conquered and subjugated by Brock the Unmerciful." Honestly, it's like Heyman has an unending reservoir of this stuff. Out in the crowd, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is in the front row. Not just a giant Roethlisberger head, though there's one of those too.
The Big Show vs. Brock Lesnar
Winner… Brock Lesnar at 2 minutes and 2 seconds
Match Rating: 1/10
After the bell, Show is still prone in the ring. Lesnar grabs another chair to inflict more damage. Two chair shots cause Show to roll to the floor, but Brock just follows him to inflict more pain. After what seems like an eternity, Lesnar finally lets up and walks to the back.
Here's what's awesome about pro wrestling logic: Show is too hurt (in real life) to have much of a match? No problem. We'll just have him take chair shots from a former UFC champion for like 15 minutes!
The Shield talks to the camera about how the hounds are on the loose to-night, even with 27 enemies in the ring. They make a bold prediction that they'll be the last three left. Will they tell each other their entrance num-bers? Nope, apparently not. Elsewhere, Renee Young gets a word or two with Randy Orton. He scoffs at Lesnar and Batista and calls Wyatt a "Duck Dynasty reject." Okay then.
John Cena (Challenger) vs. Randy Orton (Champion) - WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match
Winner… and still WWE Heavyweight Champion … Randy Orton at 20 minutes and 54 seconds
Match Rating: 4/10
The new tag team champs show Young the correct way to introduce them. We see how the New Age Outlaws won the straps in the pre-show. And a bunch of superstars tell us why they're going to win the Rumble match. We check in with the Hall of Fame panel to get their picks too.
The Royal Rumble
Royal Rumble Stats
Winner of the Royal Rumble: Batista
Time of the Rumble: 55 minutes and 7 seconds
Most Eliminations: Roman Reigns with 12
Shortest time in ring: JBL
Longest time in ring: CM Punk at 49 minutes and 12 seconds
Think Kofi Kingston has run out of awesome stuff to do in a Rumble match? Think again. First he was tossed out to the floor and caught by the already eliminated Rusev, who placed him on the barricade and was going to beat on him until the refs told him to head to the back. Kingston decided to leap from the barricade back to the apron, a long jump that he made look effortless. Later, he was in trouble again hanging by his feet on the bottom rope while his head was near the floor. He managed to take Jack Swagger's boot off and hit him with it before getting back into the ring.
Even though Kane was the second man over the top rope, he came back to ringside to pull CM Punk over the top rope for the 27th elimination.
What, no Sting?
The only surprise entrants this year were Kevin Nash and Alexander Rusev, the latter because none of us watch NXT and didn't have a clue who he was.
Total Event Time: 2 hours and 43 minutes
Event Rating: 6/10
Dale is wondering if this whole thing with keeping Bryan down is just Vince McMahon playing the super long game. Nick thinks it could be but wonders if it's worth blowing off one of the biggest pay-per-views of the year just to set something up that might not even pay off at WrestleMania. Follow Dale on Twitter at @dplummer627 and Nick at @nick_tylwalk.


text: Advisory Board Law School HSG As from spring semester 2015, the Law School will be supported by an external honorary advisory committee in order to align the department's research and teaching activities with current developments in the field. [missing in the photo: Prof. Dr. Klaus‐Stefan Hohenstatt, Dr. Michael Schöll, Dr. Rudolf Tschäni and Prof. Dr. Dirk Uwer] The market for legal services is developing at a rapid rate: Globalisation, increased regulation, changes in the relationship between those who supply and those who demand legal services, the enlistment of generation Y in law offices, courts, administrative agencies and corporate legal departments, and even cutting-edge IT and communication technologies all present new and constantly growing challenges to lawyers today. As a law school, we want to address these developments and remain practice-oriented, as this will provide motivation and inspiration for future generations of lawyers. The Law School of the University of St.Gallen has therefore decided to form an advisory board made up of key practitioners in the field of law. By consulting this advisory board, we want to clarify and validate the conceivability of our goals. In doing so, we are following a successful tradition at HSG in placing great emphasis on applied research and teaching methods.

Note: Attached are logos I like.
Colors are Green, Blue and White.
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)

Edwin L. Aguirre
When Hurricane Sandy devastated the East Coast, many people were quick to put the blame on global warming. After all, warm ocean waters are the fuel for such massive killer storms.
Not so fast, says climate science Assoc. Prof. Mathew Barlow of the Department of Environmental, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences.
"Most climate scientists, including myself, don't like to try to link single events to the overall warming trend," says Barlow.
He says a "superstorm" like Sandy is unusual, but such hurricanes would likely happen every now and then even in a climate with no warming, like the 1938 hurricane that wreaked havoc in the Northeast.
"What is fair to say is that, based on our current best understanding, the warming trend probably — but not definitely — makes such events more likely and stronger," explains Barlow. "Until we have several unusual events, it's hard to establish changes in probabilities. This is made more difficult by poor historical data for hurricane strength and occurrence, especially in the period before weather satellites."
He notes that ocean surface temperatures and the associated evaporation are the engine of hurricanes, so increasing temperatures are likely to result in stronger, more frequent storms, but these may be partially offset by changes in other factors, such as wind shear, which suppresses hurricanes.
"I'd certainly bet more frequent and stronger, but I wouldn't necessarily bet the metaphorical farm on it," cautions Barlow.
He says one thing that is clear, though, is that rising sea levels, coupled with storm surges, will severely increase the flooding impacts in low-lying cities such as New Orleans, New York City and Boston even if hurricanes don't change much.
"We are quite confident that sea-level rise will continue and probably accelerate, so from that perspective it is unambiguously a severe global warming problem, no matter what," says Barlow.
He adds: "We have plenty of evidence that global warming is making significant changes in our climate, so I would call Sandy more of a wake-up call in understanding how big the impacts could be, and a likely harbinger of storms to come, rather than a stand-alone Exhibit A for global warming."
Mitigating Climate Change Is the Key
"Our coastal communities, infrastructure and ecosystems are becoming increasingly vulnerable under a changing climate," says biology Assoc. Prof. Juliette Rooney-Varga, director of UMass Lowell's Climate Change Initiative.
"Rebuilding after Hurricane Sandy offers an opportunity to increase our resilience to future extreme events that we know are coming," says Rooney-Varga. "It raises difficult questions about where it makes sense to rebuild or consider retreat from vulnerable areas, and how we can rebuild in ways that mitigate climate change and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels."
She adds: "Ultimately, the key to avoiding the most damaging impacts of extreme weather and sea-level rise is to transition our economy away from coal, oil and natural gas that are the root cause of the impacts we are beginning to witness."

Surprisingly, as part of the mighty Swatch Group, we rarely hear from Rado in terms of hot new watch news, but at Baselworld 2012 they launched the Rado R-One Limited Edition, which, they earnestly claim, propels watch design well out of the orbit of tradition and convention.
Underneath all the usual press release hyperbole what we really have here is a rather funky and futuristic black as night watch powered by one of the smallest movements known to man. The watch design is said to be inspired by intergalactic travel.
The appearance of the finished chronograph is supposed to resemble a picture of the earth's atmosphere taken from space. Three round chronograph sub dials are placed strategically around the dial like space age launch pads.
Each of the 300 pieces that make up the limited edition comes in its own wooden presentation box, mirroring the watch's shape and protecting it like a time capsule.
With a combination of stretched rectangles and gentle curves the dial design focuses on a dynamic, user-friendly interaction of straight lines and space age circles.
Round counters in applied steel stand out against the sleek black high-tech ceramic, harmonising with futuristic blue luminous hands and a matching fine straight line linking 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock. Steel, ceramic-capped crown and steel pushers act as the chronograph's operational 'cockpit'.
The Rado R-One features a six-hand, Swiss-made 10 ½ ETA 2094, mechanical automatic chronograph movement, one of the smallest ever produced and incorporating a power reserve of 37 hours. A date window midway between three o'clock and four o'clock follows the circular path of the number markings.
The case is ultra scratch resistant high-tech ceramic with a domed sapphire crystal. The watch comes on a black rubber strap with a fine grey line to echo the visual theme. The strap ends in a titanium three-fold buckle with a high-tech ceramic black cover.

Second and fourth ingredients are named meat products
Inadequate meat content, low quality fat of unidentifiable origin, controversial filler
The first ingredient in this food is maize (corn). Corn is a difficult to digest grain of limited value in dog food, and which is also commonly associated with food allergies. Even if this had been a decent grain, however, we would still note that grains are not a natural foodstuff for canines and are of very low quality compared to meat (on which dog foods should instead be based). Rice, the third ingredient, is a decent quality grain - but still further grain.
Chicken, the 2nd ingredient is not a meat meal, but instead is inclusive of water content (about 80%). Once this is removed, as it must be to create a dehydrated product, the ingredient will weigh around 20% of its wet weight. As ingredients are listed in order of weight, it is thus unlikely that this ingredient is truely amongst the most prolific in the food and would be more accurately placed further down the ingredient list. At wet weight only the 2nd ingredient in the the food, it is likely that the true amount of this ingredient is significantly lower and it is unlikely to make up any significant portion of the food.
The first true meat ingredient does not occur until 4th on the ingredient list, which gives us little confidence in the overall meat content of the food. Corn germ and potato protein boost the protein content of the food to it's minimal level, but plant protein is of very low quality compared to meat. There is a further (hydrated) meat ingredient 10th on the ingredient list, but this minor ingredient is far to far down to have any impact on the meat content of the food.
Animal fat is an ingredient of unidentified origin for which it is impossible to determine species, source or quality. Unidentified ingredients are usually very low quality. AAFCO define this asobtained from the tissues of mammals and/or poultry in the commercial processes of rendering or extracting. It consists predominantly of glyceride esters of fatty acids and contains no additions of free fatty acids.

Beet fibre (pulp) is a controversial filler. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.

| 13.5°C Belfast
The absence of any female economists on the Bank of England monetary policy committee (MPC) is a symptom of a Conservative "problem with women", shadow chancellor Ed Balls has said.
Mr Balls said it was "astonishing" that the key economic policy-making body had been exclusively male for all but a short period of George Osborne's tenure and promised to redress the balance if Labour takes power in 2015.
All four of the Chancellor's appointments to the nine-strong panel, responsible for setting interest rates, have been male, he pointed out as Labour sought to press home its charge that his party fails to promote women.
Opposition leader Ed Miliband struck a blow in the Commons when he was able to illustrate the attack by pointing to a female-free front bench alongside David Cameron at Prime Minister's Questions.
Mr Balls said there were "lots" of women suitably qualified to join the MPC - which lost its last female input when Kate Barker left in 2010 - and suggested the Bank's new governor, Mark Carney, was also concerned.
One of Mr Carney's first moves was to appoint senior banker Charlotte Hogg - the daughter of former Conservative minister Douglas Hogg - to the new role of chief operating officer with responsibility for all day-to-day management of the Bank.
"The Monetary Policy Committee makes decisions that affect millions of women and men across our country," Mr Balls told The Guardian.
"But there have been no women members... since June 2010, just a few weeks after this Government came to office.
"That's an astonishing state of affairs. I know the new governor, Mark Carney, is worried about this too, but the membership of this committee isn't in his gift.
"The Chancellor is solely responsible for appointments to the MPC."
For all but the opening months of Tony Blair's administration in 1997, the MPC had at least one female member under Labour - with four in total having served in its history:
Mr Balls told the newspaper: "The idea that there aren't lots of very talented women who could serve on the MPC is just ridiculous. If Labour wins the election, I'm determined that we put this right,.
"I think this Government's problem with women runs deep. You can't say that the fact that there are no women round the table doesn't have an impact on the decisions that are made.
"This is a Government that is increasingly out of touch with the reality of women's lives and the cost-of-living crisis they are facing and that's a message we're increasingly getting on the doorstep."
Shadow work and pensions secretary Rachel Reeves has previously accused Mr Osborne of surrounding himself with mostly male ministers at the Treasury - suggesting it was linked to a disproportionate impact of spending cuts on women.
"79% of the changes to tax and benefits have hit women compared with men. Given that women earn less and own less than men, it doesn't really seem fair that they have to absorb four fifths of the cuts and tax increases.
"I'm sure that if there were more women at the top table those sort of things might be noticed," she told the Labour Party conference.
Ms Reeves - an economist who worked for the Bank from 2000 to 2006 - has said its culture is also to blame.
"I remember having a few arguments with the head of personnel at the time who told me that it was not a problem, it was just that women were not studying the right subjects.
"That was not true. Women were studying economics at university, they just weren't recruiting them.
"There are women out there qualified to do the job but they haven't been given those opportunities."

|I still read cookbooks, but find myself spending more time reading food blogs. Lucy Mercer/A Cook and Her Books
I read blogs. A lot of blogs, mostly about food, gardening and home-y subjects, never about politics. In the past 10 months, I've stumbled through nearly 10,000 blog pages on StumbleUpon, liking and sharing pictures and stories that speak to me. I also check in on Open Salon regularly to see what 's new from my favorite writers. So I consider myself something of a connoisseur when it comes to blogs. Blogs are such a personal medium, I find myself describing my favorite blogs like I would describe an ideal friend - funny, real, colorful, proofreads their work, photographs well. (I never said I didn't have my own quirks.)
With these criteria in mind, I thought I'd share some of my favorite blogs and bloggers. These ladies and gents don't all get the big numbers and book contracts, but they should, and maybe someday they will. They consistently produce quality stories, each flavored with their own personalities and backgrounds. Please check them out - it won't cost you a cent. And if you're a stumbler and a sharer on Facebook and Twitter, give them a little link love.
I'll start with some friends from Open Salon now posting on their own blogs. Open Salon is a gathering spot for hobby and professional writers. (That's right, Julie Powell of "Julie and Julia" posted her blog on Open Salon. It seems we all came to Open to be the next Julie Powell.)
1. Linda Shiue of SpiceboxTravels is a San Francisco physician by day and food writer in her spare time. I'm not sure when she sleeps. Her stories are for armchair travelers and foodies alike. I have many favorites from Linda's stories, and a good place to start is her post on the curry tattoo of Trinidad. Her recipes are spot-on – the pineapple shortbread recipe is now on my annual must-bake list. Twitter @spiceboxtravels
2. Like Linda, Felicia Lee of Burnt Out Baker has had an interesting life. Raised in California and now living in Gainesville, Florida, she's an academic, trained pastry chef, and birder. She has a sly sense of humor and a lively writing style. For a sample post, I'm rather fond of Felicia's pig's ear creations , one of her delightful fish-out-of-water posts now that she's living in the Deep South. Twitter @burntoutbaker
3. Also from California, Grace Hwang Lynch writes compellingly about issues of cultural and racial identity at Hapa Mama (she's also the Race and Ethnicity editor for BlogHer), and she lets a few delightful food posts slip in. I knew I liked Grace when she wrote about her love of hot dog kimbap. She recently completed a challenge blog – a year without shopping. Twitter @hapamamagrace
4. Bellwether Vance, the pen name of a good ol' girl from the Gulf Coast of Florida, is one of the funniest writers I've ever had the pleasure of reading. She has a knack for reaching beyond the punch line, though, and kicking you in your gut, or giving you a few words to chew on throughout the day. Bell (as her fans call her) promises to have an independent blog debuting soon, but for now, her stories are on Open Salon. She likes to sing country music to her dogs, and they sing along, too. She's also written the definitive piece on pimento cheese. After you talk about wearing a bridesmaid's dress with a "butt-bow the size of a prized carp" there's really not much else that needs to be said. I will confess to borrowing a few of Bell's recipes and they are keepers – her blackberry doobie, minner cheese and kumquat pie are regulars in my kitchen.
Here are three favorite bloggers that I discovered close to home:
5. Lynn Coulter is a dear friend and accomplished author, with three books to her credit – one on gardening, and two memoirs of her Christian journey. She sometimes writes about food, but her passion is for gardening. Other topics include living in the South, reading books, and being raised by a dog, Miss Paws. I'm a wannabe gardener, and I'm looking forward to her new series on favorite seed catalogs. Her words are a respite from the real world, as comforting as a cup of chamomile tea. Twitter @lynn_coulter
6. The Teacher Cooks is a blog by my friend Wanda Lupo, a high school home economics teacher concerned about teaching young people how to make good food choices and learn self-sufficiency in the kitchen. Her classroom posts are fascinating – with the students' work and comments posted alongside the recipes – they're learning to blog as they're learning to cook. Check out this post on making mayonnaise rolls. Twitter @theateachercooks
7. Thoughtful Consumption by Susan Loper is a tremendous resource for anyone with a CSA subscription or a nearby farmer's market. During the season, she posts weekly updates about the produce in her box and offers tips on cleaning and storing the vegetables. Susan has a whimsical sense of humor as seen in her whimsical "fun with Squash and Pumpkin" posts.
And a few more from various places.
8. Christina of Dessert for Two is a half-pint baking goddess. Really. She's actually a very sweet girl from Texas who currently makes her home in California. She may not be tall in stature, but she's got a personality as big as her home state. Her gimmick is a good one – scaled-down dessert recipes – for example, a cut-out cookie recipe that makes a dozen cookies; biscuits for just two; white mocha cupcakes. And you really have to love a blogger who introduces herself "Hi, I'm Christina and I'm here to help you gain 10 pounds." Twitter @dessertfortwo
9. The Peche. Chris and Karen of The Peche moved from New York to the Peach State in 2011, and their stories of late will break your heart. Homesickness, aging parent issues, bad Christmas tree karma. Chris is the writer and Karen is the photographer, and they keep it real. They are baby wranglers, with three kids under the age of four. For every story that makes you cry, there's another that makes you laugh. The recipes are sophisticated fare – a recent piece on pecorino and pear ravioli had me at least thinking about pulling out the pasta machine. Twitter @thepeche
10. Bunkycooks. First of all, writer/photographer/chief cook and bottle washer Gwen is one of the nicest and most generous bloggers I've ever had the opportunity to meet. Gwen writes fun and detailed travel pieces, always with an eye to what the cook can bring home and create in his or her own kitchen. I've had my eye on this Clementine and spiced rum bundt cake for quite awhile and I think it's time to bake it this weekend. Twitter @bunkycooks
These are just a few of my favorite food blogs. I could easily add another dozen. Please let me know in the comments about the blogs that you try to read regularly.

To: Gov. Brown
From: Prop Zero
Re: it's not too late to change your mind.
U.S. & World
Your ballot initiative to raise income and sales taxes temporarily had a bad week, because of your budget. This is the fault of the non-partisan legislative analyst, which made two big points about your tax plan, both of which are likely to embed themselves in the thinking of California.
The first is that the revenues you expect from your tax plans may well be less than the $6.9 billion you predicted. That's not fatal in and of itself -- after all, the LAO is saying that your tax plan will take fewer dollars out of the pockets of Californians. But it's problematic when combined with the LAO's other finding that your tax increase won't prevent cuts to schools.
That effectively changes the argument that could be made for the taxes previously, which might have been a winning argument. Either raise these taxes or the schools get cut. But now, if the schools are going to be cut anyway (along with other important services for the children), why am I raising taxes on myself again?
There's an honest, logical answer to that question: Californians should raise taxes on themselves because schools and higher education will be cut even more than they otherwise would be without the taxes.
Of course, in saying that, you and your supporters will be effectively offering the following deal: We Californians pay more, and get less. (Just not as much less).
It's hard to see how such an argument could be a winner.

Released in 1972, Gordon Park's Superfly immediately became a classic of the "blaxploitation" genre. Sporting the most stylish pimp threads of the early seventies, Ron O' Neal plays "Priest" — a smooth talking, high rolling, cocaine dealer with a steely gaze and a firm backhand.
As the story opens, Priest finds himself in a bit of a mid-life crisis. Realizing that his days in the business are numbered and that if he wants to make it off the streets alive, he needs to cash in with one big final score of the white. The problem is, the police want him in prison or dead, and the mafia have no intention of letting their top earner enjoy an early retirement.Continue Reading

Is it case management or alert management?
Understanding the differences in AML and payments fraud
By Dan Barta, Sr. Financial Crimes Solutions Specialist, SAS Security Intelligence
Financial crimes span a broad array of functions – from anti-money laundering (AML) to payments fraud – presenting financial institutions with a multitude of challenges. Both AML and payments fraud have a need for and utilize case management and alert management solution capabilities. Both functional areas generate alerts, and each handles them in different ways.
In the financial services industry, 'case management' and 'alert management' can have multiple meanings, depending on the functional area where the terms are applied. Both AML and payments fraud utilize the terms and functionality associated with case management. Due to the generic use of the terms, it's paramount that fraud professionals, vendor representatives and others come to a common understanding of the two terms in their conversations.
The two functions – case management and alert management – have very distinct purposes and functional needs.
The distinction in AML
For AML, the transaction monitoring systems will periodically generate alerts to identify unusual customer activity. Many organizations will aggregate or combine the generated alerts by customer to assist in the triage and review process. Organizations typically apply some prioritization process to generated alerts, which may be manually performed by the operations team or automatically through some rules-based logic in the system. Once alerts have been combined and prioritized for assignment, different operational philosophies come into play.
Some organizations assign the alerts to an analyst to review and conduct a preliminary review. If a deeper review is required, they escalate an alert to a case and assign it to an investigator. Other organizations skip the analyst level and escalate all combined alerts into cases and assign them to investigators. This is where the distinction of case management and alert management can be applied in AML.
The primary purpose of AML investigations is to determine the potential existence of money laundering to meet compliance regulations and determine the need for filing a suspicious activity report, or SAR. In some cases, AML investigations lead to account and relationship closures for cause.
AML is different from fraud detection and prevention as AML transaction monitoring (not pertaining to Sanctions) programs do not typically require a need to authorize transactions or take actions to protect the bank from loss – allowing the intervention, escalation and actions to be handled in less time-critical periods (not real time.)
Payments fraud alert management
Truly executing enterprise financial crime management through a single solution is not current reality. Instead, most financial institutions operate multiple solutions to address individual payments fraud risks presented by various transaction methods – from check writing to ACH to online banking.
Based upon risk characteristics, each solution generates alerts on customer accounts on a daily or other periodic basis. To maximize efficiency and minimize customer frustration, banks prefer to combine all alerts on a particular account or customer. This allows for a more comprehensive understanding of fraud risk and allows a single analyst to work the alerts and be the single point-of-contact with the customer in resolving the issue.
At the time of alert generation, banks haven't confirmed whether the alerts are actually fraudulent activities or false positives. A significant function of the payments fraud detection/prevention department is determining the need to take an action to protect the financial institution and/or the customer from loss. These actions include returning a check unpaid, placing holds on deposited funds, or closing accounts to name just a few. This requires that each alert, although combined with others and assigned to an analyst, needs to provide for a separate and unique disposition. Some alerts may need actions taken while other alerts in the bundle may be allowed to proceed through the payment process. In many banks, these actions must be managed by the fraud team – potentially reversing the action if it is determined the transaction is authorized. The process of determining whether the financial activity is fraudulent, prevention actions are needed, and the subsequent management of these actions is commonly referred to as alert management and a critical capability for any solution generating and managing alerts.
The management and disposition of these alerts are critical pieces of information to payments fraud management, as the disposition information is used to optimize the core monitoring solutions.
Why differentiate?
The two functions – case management and alert management – have very distinct purposes and functional needs. It's critical for fraud and AML professionals in financial institutions to know which functionality they need or want. The differentiation is critical to selecting the proper vendor and solution to meet the needs and requirements of your bank.
SAS provides both functionalities within its solution sets. Vendors and banks needs to have a detailed understanding and agreement as to the meaning of each to avoid confusion, poor customer expectations, and to ultimately match the best solution to the challenge being addressed by your financial institution.
For more than 30 years, Dan Barta has held numerous roles in the fraud and financial crimes arena, including Special Agent with the FBI focused on bank fraud investigations, fraud consulting, fraud operations and strategy at a large US financial institution, as well as software delivery manager, consultant and product manager with software vendors in the payments fraud area.

The scene is an HBO movie in which Danes plays Temple Grandin, an autistic woman who became an acclaimed animal behavior expert and cattle-chute designer. In real life, Grandin says that autism makes social interactions difficult, but gives her special abilities that make her better at her job. Can autistic people succeed in the workplace?
Yes, with help, says Kimberly Schreck, an associate professor of psychology at Penn State. She develops educational programs for children with autism, and her goals include teaching them the skills they need for future employment.
At least 1 in 110 American children have an autism disorder, according to the Centers for Disease Control. "The rapidly growing numbers of children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder represent a significant proportion of the future population and work force," says Schreck. Preparing them now means "a large number of these potential workers can successfully contribute to society and the workplace, rather than requiring taxpayer support into adulthood." The key, Schreck notes, is early intervention with a combination of applied behavior analysis, or ABA, and educational and vocational training. ABA teaches autistic children the verbal, motor, and social skills needed to function in society. ABA specialists figure out how an autistic child can learn best by monitoring the child's behavior, eliminating conditions or objects that trigger unwanted behavior, and rewarding desired actions.
The concept of training people with autism to be valued employees is a growing trend in business. Last year, the Chicago non-profit company Aspiritech began training people with autism to be software testers, based on their exceptional ability to perform repetitive tasks without losing focus. "People on the autism spectrum have a variety of skills, depending on the individual," says Schreck. "However, in general, people with Asperger Syndrome have normal to above normal intelligence; are able to communicate; and have strengths in completing concrete, logical tasks. People with more severe autism would probably be more successful with clearly delineated tasks and routines. Many of the autistic adolescents that I have worked with could complete assembly, sorting, and organizational tasks."
Still, getting people with autism to succeed professionally takes care and training, for both the employee and the employer, she explains. The potential employer has to be ready for challenges in communication, as people with autism need especially straightforward instructions, and may have difficulty understanding slang, jokes, and cultural differences. Physically, people with autism may have different ideas about personal space. "Unusual behaviors such as hand flapping and rocking may cause difficulties in employment involving the public," says Schreck.
But author, speaker, and Colorado State University professor Temple Grandin shows that excelling in demanding careers is possible for those with autism. After portraying Grandin on film, Claire Danes remarked "She has strengths that she really exploits… she's a real success by anyone's standards."
Kimberly A. Schreck, Ph.D., BCBA-D, is an Associate Professor of Psychology & Coordinator of the Applied Behavior Analysis Program at Penn State Harrisburg, [email protected].

The Cameron University Guarantee
Cameron University remains committed to ensuring that only competent graduates enter the workforce. In fact, we guarantee it. Upon employment, should any graduate have deficiencies in core employment areas in his or her major field of study, Cameron University will provide additional education at no expense to the graduate or the employer.
How Cameron makes this Guarantee
The guarantee is possible because of the proven quality and demonstrated commitment of Cameron faculty and staff. In the 2011 Higher Learning Commission comprehensive review of Cameron University, the Commission noted that Cameron is a "role model institution in its integration of planning, budgeting, assessment, and institutional accountability." Further, the Commission stated that Cameron University has "student learning at the center of what it does and despite significant statewide budget cuts, the institution was able to redesign itself to meet changing student needs."
Cameron is proud of its graduates and confident in their skills and competence. This guarantee is an assurance of that confidence. In addition, Cameron is committed to transparency to the public. Please refer to the section entitled "Transparency" on the right of this site for access to review the university's budget and retention and graduation rates. In addition, no later than January 2012, the curriculum vitae for all Cameron faculty as well as course descriptions with learning outcomes for all CU courses will be available for search and review.
"The Cameron University Guarantee" is believed to be the first program of its kind offered by a public university in Oklahoma and one of the first in the nation.
Eligibility for the program
- The student must have graduated from Cameron University in Spring 2012 or later.
- The student must have completed all of his or her course work at Cameron University and graduated with a baccalaureate degree within five years of his/her initial enrollment.
- The graduate must be employed in the state of Oklahoma.
- The identified deficiency area(s) must be in the graduate's major field of study and be confined to entry-level competencies expected of a new college graduate.
- The employer must identify and report the deficiency area(s) to the Cameron University Office of Career Services within the first six months of the graduate's initial employment.
Honoring "The Cameron University Guarantee"
- Upon receiving notification of a deficiency, Cameron University faculty will develop an individualized plan to remediate the deficiency area(s). The plan will include the required learning outcomes and will be implemented and completed within one year.
- Assistance may be provided to the graduate through distance learning technology or other arrangements mutually agreed upon by the university, the graduate and the employer.
- It is understood that any required remediation is a three-way partnership among the graduate, Cameron University, and the employer and that all must operate in good faith to remediate any deficiency.
