News From Saturn
Cassini flew by Saturn's largest moon, Titan, on January 13. The next flyby of the moon is on February 22.
Transcript:Greetings and welcome to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena California.
My name is Douglas Equils, one of Cassini's Science Systems Engineers here with the latest from Saturn. On January 13th, Cassini flew by Saturn's largest moon, Titan, dipping into the atmosphere, flying over dunes and plateaus to discover this enormous crater, large enough to engulf the city of Los Angeles on This is 100 kilometer wide cater roughly 60-miles across, is only the 4th such crater to be discovered. This is important because it tells us that the surface of Titan is relatively young and is constantly being transformed by wind and rain.
The Infrared Camera on Cassini also captured this stunning image of a giant cloud over Titan's North Pole. This monster cloud is half the size of the United States. And scientists believe that this may be the source of the methane feeding the lake that we discovered late last year.
Cassini's cameras also captured ultraviolet bands of clouds whisked around Titan's Upper Atmosphere, even faster than Titan itself rotates.
Next up for Cassini on February 22 is a flyby of Titan where RADAR will criss-cross familiar terrain in an attempt to merge together what we've have learned about Titan's surface so far and possibly even discover new lakes.
Exciting things are on Saturn's horizon so stay tuned. This is Douglas Equils from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California and that's the latest from Saturn.

Im starting to revisit 7th grade; in my head! this was a gruesome time for me; I was bullied severely; paralyzed emotionally; I had no male role models; had lost my family! Had nothing; and was being sexual molested by the new people I was living with! These next 2 years; 7th grade and 8th grade will be a horrible waist of time; Im basically a trapped animal! No learning; dissociative; nothingness; but fear and terror and pain and hopelessness; no life; no love; nothing!
Im now; as an adult; starting to go back in and revisit and; working with the universe; Im beginning to patch new memories and experiences into this time period! Im beginning to extend into it the way I was meant to at that age!
Im asking the universe to take me to the next step in my development. Im starting to feel safe doing new things that I might have done at that age; learn how to dance; learn how to youtube it and really learn how to dance with trained dance moves; really take it seriously; as I would have then! Im moving forward at that age; and I know it! Thus the real beginning of taking back control of my life at a time that was disastrous! taking back my life where it was stolen from me and thrown away!
Ive done a lot of work to get to this point! God has done allot of work to open this point up to me!

Scoles selected for Franklin Medal
Giacinto Scoles,
the Donner Professor of Science and professor of chemistry at
Princeton, has been named a recipient of the 2006 Benjamin Franklin
Medal in Physics.
He shares the prize, which will be presented at an April 27 ceremony in Philadelphia, with J. Peter Toennies, associate professor of physics at the University of Göttingen in Germany.
The two were cited for their "development of new techniques for studying molecules, including unstable species that could not be examined otherwise, by embedding them in extremely small and ultra-cold droplets of helium. Their work also led to a better understanding of the extraordinary properties of superfluid helium, such as its ability to flow without friction."
The Franklin Institute Awards are among the oldest and most prestigious comprehensive science awards in the world. They are intended to recognize individuals whose innovation has benefited humanity, advanced science, launched new fields of inquiry and deepened the understanding of the universe.
Scoles joined the Princeton chemistry department in 1987 after teaching at the University of Genova and the University of Trento in Italy, the University of Leiden in the Netherlands and the University of Waterloo in Canada. He also is affiliated with the Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials. He teaches part time at the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste, Italy, and is a long-term collaborator at the Elettra Synchrotron Laboratory in Trieste.
Scoles is an elected fellow of the Royal Society of the United Kingdom and an elected foreign member of the Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences of the Netherlands. He received the Lippincott Award of the Optical Society of America, the Coblentz Society and the Society for Applied Spectroscopy in 1995, and earned the American Physical Society's E.K. Plyler Prize for Molecular Spectroscopy in 2003.

In the last two decades we have lived through a veritable information revolution that has changed the world forever. Have these changes improved our lives or made our work easier? The answer is: yes, but!
Take the Internet. Breakthroughs in information and communication technologies (ICT) have enhanced access to markets, spurred innovation and created new business opportunities. Technologies contributed to progress in energy, education, food and health, improving the well-being of a larger number of people worldwide. They have also helped emerging economies to become global powerhouses and locomotives of the world economy.
The information revolution has changed the way our economies function and laid the foundations of a knowledge-based world. It is on this new landscape that policymakers should focus more of their attention.
In today's knowledge-based economy, wealth comes more and more from ideas and innovations embedded in products and services. The assets and competitive advantages of firms or countries are rooted in research and development (R&D), software and brands, organisation and production structures, and many other "intangible" assets.
Moreover, in this knowledge-based economy production is spread around the world, involving countries of different income levels, research and development networks, design and marketing, assembly lines, and customer support. Without ICT, it would be difficult to integrate all these stages of production to create global value chains.
Gaining a foothold in global value chains has understandably become a preoccupation of policymakers, given the need to look for new, dynamic sources of growth after the crisis and to build more robust economies. Moreover, competition for investment high up the value chain highlights the importance of education, skills and R&D. And these developments challenge the way we look at trade, invest in education and skills of our citizens, and prevent an erosion of tax revenue, given the ever more complex manner in which tax bases, including profits, can be shifted among countries.
These are the kinds of fundamental policy issues the OECD is addressing. And as a knowledge hub in which information is currency, our organisation is fit for purpose. The information and technology revolution has brought improvements to every dimension of our work, transforming how data is gathered, managed, analysed, published, and disseminated, not to mention protected. ICT has provided us with the tools for a more constant dialogue and for bringing our member and partner countries closer together. And thanks to ICT, the OECD not only diffuses more knowledge further and wider than ever before, but it also infuses it with fresh and constantly evolving knowledge from people outside the organisation, using interactive tools, wikis and public forums, for instance.
The information world evolves quickly. The first SMS text message was sent in December 1992. Just 20 years ago! Now mobile communications have permeated every continent. Social media is far younger, yet it is already ushering in a new age of big data. In fact, as this edition points out, more data was produced in 2011 than in the whole of human history.
The OECD is investing in the knowledge management tools it needs to stay ahead of these trends. But as human beings, we must also stand back from the plethora, ask questions, discuss and make informed judgements.
The first edition of the OECD Observer opened with an article called "What makes an economy grow?" In light of the worst crisis in our lifetimes, we are still seeking a satisfactory answer to that question. We have never had so much information, yet we failed to anticipate, let alone, prevent the financial crisis from happening.
On the contrary, critics argue that the information revolution has been a cause of our instability. Its speed leads to volatility–from high frequency trading in financial markets, for instance–while it conceals channels for corruption and illicit financing. Serious concerns about privacy add to a widespread sense of mistrust.
The OECD takes these challenges seriously and is determined to combat abuse and promote the knowledge and confidence that we believe the information revolution promises.
Building better policies for a world based on inclusive, sustainable growth is paramount, and through our major New Approaches to Economic Challenges initiative launched in 2012, we have begun to probe and question our growth models, and explore new paradigms that incorporate equity and the environment.
It is a vast "knowledge" endeavour, which depends on cooperation. By harnessing knowledge and ideas skilfully and openly, we can build a brighter future. The information revolution provides us with an opportunity to get it right.

Legislative requirements
Local governments can decide the process they use to make local laws. There are, however, specific requirements that all local governments must comply with when undertaking the process that are set out in chapter 3, part 1 of the Local Government Act 2009 and chapter 3, part 2 of the City of Brisbane Act 2010.
Requirements include that local governments must:
- draft their local laws in accordance with guidelines issued by the Parliamentary Counsel under the Legislative Standards Act 1992
- if repealing or amending another local law, the local law must include a provision that repeals or amends an existing local law
- negotiate directly with the state in checking state interests in relation to proposed local laws
- review proposed local laws for anti-competitive provisions
- make local laws by resolution of council
- notify the public and the Minister for Local Government of any new local laws and make copies available for inspection or purchase
- keep a register of local laws in the way prescribed under the regulation.
Good practice tips
Any actions taken under the Local Government Acts, such as local law making, must comply with the local government principles set out in section 4 of both Acts.
With this in mind it is good practice to take a consistent and transparent approach to the making of local laws to ensure that they are effective, deliver the desired result and maintain public confidence in the process. It is also good practice to regularly review and, if required, update local laws.
Some key considerations for local governments are outlined below:
- Is a local law the most appropriate solution to a specific issue?
- Can the issue be dealt with in ways other than regulation?
- What is the community interest in the proposed local law?
- Should there be a community consultation process?
- What is the appropriate level or type of community consultation?
Community consultation
One of the local government principles is democratic representation, social inclusion and meaningful community engagement.
Consistent with this principle it is good practice for local governments to consult with the public on a proposed local law.
Section 29(6) of the Local Government Act 2009 and section 30(6) of the City of Brisbane Act 2010 declare that a local government does not have to carry out any public consultation before making:
- an interim local law or
- a model local law which does not contain an anti-competitive provision. Note that a local law that in any way amends, or contains additional provisions to, a model local law is no longer a 'model local law'.
Nevertheless, a local government may choose to engage in consultation before it makes an interim, model or any other local law.

Hootsuite and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The European data protection law called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) became effective on May 25, 2018 and affects all companies who process personal data of individuals in the EU.
Hootsuite understands that data protection is important to its users. As a Canadian company, Hootsuite is already subject to data protection laws that provide for similar standards as existing European laws. And as a company with millions of users in Europe, Hootsuite is well aware of the need to provide its EU users with services and solutions that will help them meet the EU's new data protection requirements.
Hootsuite fully welcomes the GDPR and is here to help our users address the GDPR
through our robust privacy and security protections. We appreciate that the GDPR requires our users, as data controllers, to engage data processors that deploy appropriate safeguards. Hootsuite has been heavily engaged in preparing for the GDPR. We fully appreciate and recognise the importance of GDPR to our users in the delivery of our services to them.
What is the GDPR?
The GDPR is a new European data protection law which sets out various requirements that became effective on May 25, 2018. It replaces the existing data protection regime for the EU under Directive 95/46/EC, and is intended to harmonise data protection laws throughout the EU by applying a single data protection law that is binding throughout all Member States. Countries outside of the EU, including countries in Asia, are also implementing laws that align with the GDPR.
Who does the GDPR apply to?
The GDPR applies to virtually all organisations that process the "personal data" of EU residents as a result of services offered to them or which monitor them, regardless of whether the organisation physically resides in the EU. Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
How does the GDPR apply to Hootsuite and its users?
Hootsuite is a social media management tool that enables its users to bring together their social networks and integrate with hundreds of business applications that they already use, all in one place. Because the content on social media is user-generated, it may at any time contain personal data if users of social media decide to share such information. As a result, the GDPR will apply to both Hootsuite and its users, but in different ways.
The GDPR distinguishes between organisations that are "data controllers" and those that are "data processors". As explained in our Privacy Notice, Hootsuite is a data processor of content generated, requested or published via its supported social networks. As such, Hootsuite only processes content in accordance with the instructions our users give us through our services. Because our users control how their content is collected and used by them, our users are, in legal terms, the data controllers of the content that they process through our platform. Hootsuite is its users' data processor of that content.
For more information on the types and categories of data we and our users collect and process, please see our Privacy Notice.
What has Hootsuite done to prepare for the GDPR?
Hootsuite welcomes the GDPR and is committed to strengthening the robust organisational and technical safeguards it already makes available to users. Hootsuite appreciates that the GDPR requires a partnership between Hootsuite and its users in their use of our services. We can confirm that Hootsuite has been heavily engaged in preparing for the GDPR and recognises the importance of GDPR to our users in the delivery of our service to them.
Hootsuite has carried out an in-depth GDPR readiness project across our entire organisation. As part of this project, we analyzed each of our product offerings and our internal policies with a view to becoming GDPR ready. These steps included:
- dedicating full-time resources to privacy, data protection and the GDPR;
- retaining external experts from established consulting firms to assist with Hootsuite's GDPR readiness efforts;
- conducting an organisation-wide review of all personal data processing activities within Hootsuite to ensure alignment with GDPR requirements;
- creating cross-departmental teams from security, engineering, product and legal to roadmap and ensure any technical or organisational measures required under GDPR are in place; and
- aligning Hootsuite's existing security framework with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) security controls, which are aligned with, and appropriate to meet, the GDPR's Article 32 security requirements.
Is Hootsuite GDPR Ready ?
Yes, as of May 25, 2018 all Hootsuite products and services are GDPR ready. In addition to our own compliance with GDPR principles, we are committed to helping our users in their own compliance with the GDPR in connection with their use of our services. As such, we are making a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) available for all users to sign. Please refer to the DPA section below on how to enter into a DPA with Hootsuite.
Can I enter into a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) with Hootsuite ?
Hootsuite makes available a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) for GDPR. The GDPR DPA and some FAQs are available to all of our users. If you would like to incorporate the GDPR DPA into your existing agreement with Hootsuite, please email us and we will promptly send you Hootsuite's Data Processing Addendum for you to complete, sign and return to us.
How is Hootsuite different than other social media management services?
Hootsuite is a Canadian company with its head-office located in Vancouver, British Columbia. For the purposes of EU data protection law, Canada is considered a country which provides adequate protections for personal data, as confirmed by the European Commission in Commission Decision 2002/2/EC. Accordingly, unlike some other companies operating in the social media space, Hootsuite already resides in a country with strong data protection laws. In this way, the GDPR is more of an evolution than a revolution for Hootsuite.
What organisational and technical safeguards does Hootsuite already provide to help its users comply with the GDPR?
Hootsuite maintains a continuous high bar for security and compliance. Information regarding Hootsuite's security practices is available here.

The most common reasons for bone lesion biopsy are to distinguish between benign and malignant bone tumors, and to identify other bone abnormalities. Bone biopsy may also be performed to determine the cause of bone pain and tenderness.

While I would argue government does provide many worthy functions in a civilized society, those who depend on its efficiency to help them solve problems have a tendency to be disappointed (read: enraged). Here's the story of (former Reason magazine/soon-to-be Huffington Post) writer and native Hoosier Radley Balko and his dealings with the IRS this past year… and it sounds like he'll get to relive this for years to come (warning: a little salty language, but you may have expected that):
So I never got around to updating you on my feud with the IRS. (See here, here and here.)
Quick summary to catch you up: Last year, the IRS rejected my tax return due to a "faulty Social Security number". Apparently, someone else had also filed under my number. I then engaged in an increasingly frustrating series of letters and phone calls to try to get the damn thing straightened out. All on my own time, and at my own expense. But it wasn't my mistake. The whole situation was complicated by the fact that I moved a couple weeks after filing, and no matter how many times I told them this, no matter how many times I asked them to change my address in their files, they kept sending all updates and notices to my old address.
After my last update, many of you suggested I call the IRS help line. I did. It was a really frustrating conversation. I explained the situation to the woman, who then replied, "Well what do you want me to do?"
I replied, "I'd like you to help me get my refund, and to get this corrected so I don't have to go through it next year."
To which she replied, "Oh, you'll almost certainly have to go through it again next year."
"Because if someone filed under your Social last year, they'll probably use it again."
"But that's why I'm calling. Once I prove I'm the rightful person using that number, can't they make a note to make sure that in the future, the return with my name on it is the only return they'll accept under that Social Security number?"
"They can't do that."
"Why not?"
"Because they can't."
Pause, as I bite my lip.
"So what would you like me to do?"
"I want you to help me get my refund, and make sure I don't have to go through this crap again next year."
"Yes, but what do you specifically want me to do?"
"Well, I don't know. I don't know what you can do. I don't know how the IRS works. Clearly they have my address wrong. I'd like them to change it. And I'd like them to make sure whoever filed under my number this year doesn't do it again."
"Yes, but what do you want me to do? You have to tell me specifically what actions you want me to take."
"Again, how would I know that? You're the taxpayer advocate. Aren't you supposed to know that?"
These quotes are taken from memory. So they're obviously approximate. But it went on like this, with me getting increasingly angry, she getting increasingly obstinate. I finally gave up. (I am proud to say I didn't use a single, goddamned profanity during the entire conversation.)
A few days later, my refund came in the mail. It had been sent to my old address, of course. A former neighbor was kind of enough to forward it to me. Which means it had actually been sent before I called the taxpayer advocate. Yet it still wasn't noted in whatever computer screen she was looking at. Or it was, and she didn't tell me. This was last December. So it took eight months to get all of this straightened out. They also paid me about 15 dollars in interest.
A couple weeks later, I got another notice from the IRS. This one was sent directly to my new address. Hey, they got it right! What did it say? It was a reminder that on my 2010 return, under penalty of law, I am required to report and pay taxes on that 15 dollars I "earned" in interest while the federal government held my refund.
Here's the punchline: I just learned tonight that my 2010 return has again been rejected due to a "faulty Social Security number."
Which I guess means I'll now get to do this all over again.
If you're looking for a bright side here, the "taxpayer advocate" did correctly warn me that the IRS would once again screw up this year. So if nothing else, I guess federal employees are at least pretty competent when it comes to predicting the incompetence of other federal employees.

Lincoln News
LPC New Development in Boston Area!
Jun 04, 2012
Work began this week on the 2.5-acre future site of West Square, a 255-unit apartment mid-rise project located in the South Boston area. Taking residence in the previous Bonney's Express trucking business site, West Square is anticipated to improve the transition between residential South Boston and the growing Seaport District.
"It's one of the first major projects that's really been developed down there to mend the South Boston neighborhood and Seaport area together," said John Noone, a Hub-based regional vice president for Lincoln Property Company.
West Square is part of a massive wave of housing projects totaling more than 1,400 units in the pipeline along First Street.
"We're excited about it," Noone said. "Given the continued success of the (nearby) Innovation District and all the job creation, there's a high demand for housing."

Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)
What is Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)?
Household hazardous waste (HHW) are household items such as cleaning products, chemicals, polishes, paints, yard and garden supplies, automotive and recreational products, batteries, and light bulbs. These HHW items and more can cause harm to people and the environment. HHW should be brought to a special HHW facility that will ensure proper disposal of these items.
Identifying HHW
HHW is easy to identify by signal words such as: poison, danger, warning, and caution. Other words and phrases associated with HHW include: flammable, corrosive, volatile, explosive, toxic, may cause irritation, do not inhale, and use in well-venitlated area. If you are unsure if an item is considered HHW, contact Hennepin County or bright the item with you to the HHW facility and ask a technician on site.
Hennepin County HHW & Recycling Drop-Off Facilities
Hennepin County operates two HHW & Recycling Drop-Off Facilities for residents to bring their unwanted materials. For more information regarding hours of operation, acceptable items, possible fees, and driving directions, visit Hennepin County's HHW & Recycling Drop-Off Facilities webpage.
Special Collection Events
Hennepin County holds HHW collection events in Minneapolis each year. Visit Hennepin County's website for event dates, locations, times, and materials accepted at these special collection events.
Preparing Materials for Delivery
- Never mix chemicals together
- If possible, keep products in original container
- If product is not in original container, label what is inside the container
- Securely place items in your vehicle for transport
- Use a cardboard box or a reusable container
Common HHW items
Common Household Items:
Aerosol cans with product remaining (spray paint, air freshener, cooking spray, hair mousse, hair spray, pressurized air, spray adhesive, wood cleaner, antibacterial spray, etc.); all-purpose cleaner, drain cleaner, kitchen cleaner, mercury thermometers and thermostats, mothballs, nail polish and remover, oven cleaner, furniture polish, spot removers, tile and tub cleaner, photo chemicals, etc.

A nibble into the history of the kids' menu
At the age of 4, children of the near-extinct Kawésqar tribe of Chilean Patagonia spear and roast their own shellfish. This is eight years earlier than when kids who vacation in Cape Cod, Mass., come of shellfish age -- that is, if the children's menus found in every clam shack in the area are anything to go by. If a child is younger than 12, Arnold's Lobster & Clam Bar will serve them a grilled cheese sandwich or a hot dog. But no clams.
Children tend to rise to the culinary bar we set for them, and children's menus in America set the bar very low indeed. To look at the standard kids' menu, greasy with prefab items like chicken fingers, tater tots and mac-and-cheese, you might think that industrial food manufacturers have been responsible for setting it. But the delusion that a child even needs a special menu is a lot older than the chicken nuggets that have come to dominate it. In fact, the children's menu dates back to Prohibition, when, remarkably, it was devised with a child's health in mind.
Depending on where you stand vis-à-vis childrearing, the golden age of youth dining in America either began or ended with the Volstead Act. In the century leading up to the dry laws, children rarely ate out. A child had to be relatively well-off in order to dine in public, and a guest at a hotel to boot. (Restaurants not attached to hotels didn't tend to serve children, reasoning that they got in the way of boozy grown-up fun.) But the lucky boy or girl who could tick these boxes was assured of a pretty good time. When the English novelist Anthony Trollope toured the United States in 1861 (his two volumes of crotchety travelogue were later published as "North America"), he was astonished to see 5-year-old "embryo senators" who ordered dinner with sublime confidence and displayed "epicurean delight" at the fish course.
Prohibition spelled the end for 5-year-old epicures. Taking effect in January 1920, the dry laws forced the hospitality industry to rethink its policy on children: Could it be that this untapped market could help offset all that lost liquor revenue? The Waldorf-Astoria in New York thought so, and in 1921 it became one of the first establishments to beckon to children with a menu of their very own. But even as restaurants began to invite children in, it was with a new limitation: They could no longer eat what their parents ate.
The earliest children's menus didn't look so different from the playful ones we know today. The Waldorf-Astoria put Little Jack Horner on the cover of their pink-and-cream booklet; as he brandishes his plummy thumb, a dish runs away with a spoon. But then there was the food -- the bland, practically monastic food, appearing all the more austere for the teddy bear picnic taking place overleaf. Here was flaked chicken over boiled rice; here were mixed green vegetables in butter; here was a splat of prune whip. And the one dish that appeared without exception -- the chicken nugget of the Jazz Age -- was a plain broiled lamb chop.
The ubiquitous lamb chop embodied the highest principles of scientific childrearing, the prevailing doctrine of the early-20th-century nursery. Its central text was "The Care and Feeding of Children," by the pediatrician Emmett Holt. First published in 1894, it stayed in print for nearly half a century, instructing mothers, nurses, and, apparently, chefs that young children were not to be given fresh fruits, nuts, or raisins in their rice pudding. Pies, tarts, and indeed "pastry of every description" were "especially forbidden," and on no account were such items as ham, bacon, corn, cod, tomato soup, or lemonade to pass a child's lips before his 10th birthday.
Emmett Holt didn't tend to explain his rules, so we're forced to guess at his reasoning. Pork was probably out because it was likely to carry parasites, and the prejudice against raw fruit dates back to antiquity, when the physician Galen observed that consuming it often ended in diarrhea (which can be fatal in small children). But guidelines like the one permitting only stale breads for children seem capricious if not punitive, and the closest Holt ever came to explaining them was his assertion that children who are allowed delicious foods soon reject the plain ones. Although he stopped short of saying what it was that was so inherently great about the plain ones, he seems to have believed there was moral danger in sensual pleasure, and damnation in indulgence.
It was this hodgepodge of medicine and morality that informed the first 20 years of children's menus. Restaurants packed them with everything Emmett Holt said to, and they did it proudly. The Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles was one of several establishments that advertised that their children's fare had been "approved by the American Child Health Association" (of which Holt was the founding vice president). This meant that while parents dined on marrow dumplings in consommé, shirred eggs with asparagus and chicken livers, and barracuda in meunière sauce, their children were steered toward cream of vegetable soup served with a plain omelet. Some restaurants, like the one attached to Chicago's Edgewater Beach Hotel, even boasted a kiddie menu created "Under supervision of house physician."
The idea that a child's meal required the supervision of a Holtean physician was, of course, nonsense. As a boy, even Emmett Holt didn't eat in the style of Emmett Holt. His sister Eliza Cheeseman once wrote him a letter reminding him of the bountiful picnics of their youth, when they had feasted on chicken pie and wild blackberry pie, on biscuits with cheese and pickles, and on as many pieces of cake as they could get away with -- all washed down with great quantities of that deadly lemonade. "You ate all this," she deadpanned, "and still live."
By the World War II, the country had come around to Eliza's point of view. With the 1946 publication of "Baby and Child Care," Benjamin Spock succeeded Emmett Holt as the nation's chief childrearing expert, and the very word "childrearing," which has a whiff of livestock management about it, gave way to the gentler notion of "parenting," which emphasized nurture over discipline. Yet, for all the collective relaxing over children's diets in the postwar years, the children's menu was not abandoned. Restaurants had grown reliant on its marketing benefits; children didn't want to give up booklets that doubled as clown masks or featured punch-out airplanes; and parents, quite understandably, had become attached to the low prices. So the children's menu persisted. Meanwhile, a growing processed-food industry made it irresistibly cost-effective to rewrite it with junked-up, dumbed-down foods. By the 1970s, the children's menu as we know it today was basically in place: The design was as colorful as ever, but the food had been restricted to its present-day palette of browns and yellows.
Today, nutritionists are rightly appalled by the insipid, mostly fried fare designated for children. In response, a growing number of restaurants have tasked themselves with building a healthier children's menu, but the approach taken by casual-dining chains like Red Lobster and Applebee's is superficial: Instead of throwing out the chicken nuggets, they're counting on sides of broccoli to magically counteract them. But even a more thorough revamp would be missing the point -- namely, that children never needed a separate bill of fare to begin with. If there is any argument to be made for holding onto the kids' menu, it is that contemporary portion sizes are more than a child can handle. (They're more than most adults can handle, for that matter.) Moving forward, the industry might do well to look backward, to the children's options offered in Parisian restaurants at the turn of the 20th century. A 1900 menu [see link below], from the Restaurant Gardes, has the right idea: a child's cut-price prix fixe (couvert d'enfant) that doesn't offer different food -- just less of it.

Motorola Mobility is warning people who bought but then returned Android-based Motorola Xoom tablets between March and October last year that the devices might have been resold by bargain-of-the-day website Woot with the ex-owners' sensitive data still on them.
Motorola said that about 100 out of a batch of 6,200 Xoom tablets that it refurbished "may not have been completely cleared of the original owner's data prior to resale." The tablets were resold by Woot between October and December 2011.
MORE XOOM: Motorola Xoom tablet owners get taste of Android "Ice Cream Sandwich"
WAYBACK MACHINE: Experts scrutinize 2009's most notable IT apologies
Data possibly accessible on the uncleaned tablets could include photos and documents, as well as user names and passwords for social media, email and other accounts, Motorola acknowledged.
The company, an early candidate for 2012's biggest security snafus (see 2011's here), issued a statement of apology: "Motorola sincerely regrets and apologizes for any inconvenience this situation has caused the affected customers. Motorola is committed to rigorous data protection practices in order to protect its customers, and will continue to take the necessary steps to achieve this objective. "
Motorola is now offering customers who purchased and then returned a Xoom Wi-Fi tablet to Amazon.com, Best Buy, BJ's Wholesale, eBay, Office Max, Radio Shack, Sam's Club or Staples and a few other independent retailers between March and October a free two-year membership to Experian's ProtectMyID Alert service to mitigate risks (Original owners should call 1-866-926-9803 to sign up for the credit monitoring service). Motorola also advises that these former owners take precautions such as changing passwords on their various online accounts.
Those original owners who performed a factory data reset prior to returning their Xoom are not impacted.
Motorola and Woot are also trying to track down the refurbished units in question so that the memories can be cleared. Customers who purchased a refurbished Xoom Wi-Fi tablet from Woot.com between October and December 2011 are encouraged to visit motorola.com/xoomreturn or call Motorola Mobility customer support at 1-800-734-5870, and select Option 1, in order to determine if their tablet is affected.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said on Tuesday that 2013 could be a "very good year" for the U.S. economy if politicians can strike a quick deal to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff.
The powerful central bank chief called for a credible long-term framework to put the federal budget on a sound path, but warned against action that would needlessly add to the headwinds facing the economy.
He repeated a warning that running over the $600 billion "cliff" of expiring tax cuts and government spending reductions could derail the U.S. recovery, and said worries over how budget negotiations will be resolved were already damaging growth.
"Such uncertainties will only be increased by discord and delay," he told the Economic Club of New York. "In contrast, cooperation and creativity to deliver fiscal clarity – in particular, a plan for resolving the nation's long-term budgetary issues without harming the recovery – could help make the new year a very good one for the American economy."

School's out, surf's up, summer beckons. Time for college students to see if they can stay afloat in the worst economy their generation has known.
Young people are carrying a load heavier than they normally bear as they scatter from campuses, judging from an AP-mtvU poll that finds students anxious about their finances, job prospects after graduation and the pressures facing their folks back home.
Josh Donahue, 23, an Oregon State University economics graduate, is living on food stamps. First in his family with a university degree, he stays with relatives and scrapes even for a menial job instead of the bank gig he'd dreamed about.
"A degree in economics," he said, "doesn't really prepare you to understand the economy very well."
To be sure, tight budgets are a rite of passage at college. Ramen noodles build character.
But in a nation that has lost more than 5.7 million jobs since the recession began in December 2007, parent and student alike are swept up in the tempest. In the poll of students, nearly one in five reported that at least one parent lost a job in the last year.
Parents usually worry about their kids' finances. Now the kids are worrying about their parents'.
At George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., systems engineering junior Adrian Solomon, 21, of Virginia Beach, Va., said his mother, who is single and raising his 16-year-old sister as well as a foster child, is "trying to support me sometimes, when I need it." At other times she's asked him for money. "I would do what I can to help her out."
Jake Lear, 21, of Warrenton, Va., a digital arts major at George Mason, worked three jobs at a time through the semester and is doing one of them full-time this summer — a resident adviser helping to look after freshmen in dorms — because he gets free housing. His parents work for a federal contractor that shrank its work force and eliminated 401(k) matching contributions. The school is in suburban northern Virginia outside Washington.
"I'm pretty much independent as far as school goes," Lear said. "Where they would normally help me out with cash here and there they don't so much any more, just because money's so tight."'
The sleep-deprived but irrepressible Buchi Akpati, 18, of Woodbridge, Va., also juggled three jobs at once through the semester — one online, another at the gym and another as a beauty consultant. Her days have unfolded like this, once she gets out of bed between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m.:
"I go to class, study in between class, go to work, study at work, go to my other job, Mary Kay, do some facials, sell some products, study in between, go back to my dorm, study and eat at the same time, work online at the same time, study afterwards from like 2 to 6 a.m., then sleep, and then wake up and do the same thing."
She is majoring in "biology, pre-medicine, with a splash of Spanish" and adding two summer classes to her workload. "I never get any sleep," she said brightly. "That's the thing."
The poll surveyed students at 40 U.S. colleges, exploring financial pressures, job possibilities, their state of mind and when stress becomes depression. Among the findings on the economy:
- 22 percent of students said they worry a lot about having enough money to get through a typical week at school, and more — fully one-third — said they worry a lot about the finances of their parents.
- Nearly one in five changed plans this year and decided to attend graduate or professional school after college because an undergraduate degree might not be enough to get them a job. Staying in school buys time for the economy to improve and defers repayment of student loans but adds living costs and debt.
- 11 percent of those whose parents lost a job veered away from grad school because they could not afford it. They were twice as likely to avoid grad school as those whose parents did not lose a job. Job loss in the family also made twice as many students consider dropping out — 27 percent. Overall, nearly one in five considered quitting school.
- 32 percent said financial worries have a lot of impact on the stress they're under, up from 27 percent last spring.
Nervousness is apparent on campuses, even in the midst of post-exam relief. So, however, is resilience.
Instead of being discouraged by the 29 applications for summer internships that got no response, Larry Robertson is pumped about the one that is landing him an interview.
"I HAVE to get a job," he said. Living at home in Washington, where he devotes Fridays and other times to looking after his grandmother, he's been commuting up to four hours a day to George Mason and scrimping at every turn as he prepares for law school. He'll graduate in December with a major in sociology and a minor in anthropology.
"I don't buy clothes," Robertson said. "I don't shop. I stay at home, I don't go out. I have a very strict academic life.
"I really try to prepare enough so that I'm not stressed out with money. That's the last thing you need to be stressed out by when you're in school."
Corwin Burton, a sophomore at the University of Maryland, also on the Washington outskirts, gave up his apartment and moved back home when the tips dropped off at the bar he tends. Studying nano-engineering, he's confident the economy will rebound by the time he gets out of grad school.
"It always does," he said. "It's nowhere near bad enough to think that the country's going to explode and fail. The economy naturally cycles. I've studied enough economics to know that. It goes up, it goes back down."
In Grants Pass, Ore., Donahue wonders when it's going to go up. He regrets stretching his bachelor of science in economics over five years, thinking he'd be a financial analyst now if he'd finished school in four, before the crisis. Given the turmoil in the financial industry, however, it's questionable whether an entry job would still be there.
Sharing his $200 a month in food stamps with his aunt and uncle in lieu of rent, he's applying for work as a delivery man, a hotel clerk, a bank teller and a white-collar job in the insurance industry. He's planning on going to law school.
"Having a college degree and having to ask other people for help is not a funny thing," he said. "It's a little demoralizing."
Still, faith persists among the young in the value of an education as a career builder, and a temporary shelter from the outside world.
Lear gets the occasional "panic-inducing thought" that capitalism itself is unraveling, a scary prospect with graduation ahead of him in December. "Right now, it's the only thing to do," he said of schooling. "There's always grad school and I'm not afraid of more education."
Then there's the laser focus of Robertson, on track to become a public advocacy lawyer.
"I've made up my mind about what I'm going to do and so I'm going to do it," he states. "If I have to endure some challenges and struggle a little bit, that's fine. If it's going to take me some extra time, I want those credentials, it's really important, so I'm going to do it."
The poll was conducted April 22 to May 4 by Edison Media Research and involved interviews with 2,240 undergraduate students aged 18-24 at four-year colleges. To protect privacy, the schools where the poll was conducted are not being identified, the students who responded were not asked for their names, and people interviewed for this story were not part of the survey. The poll has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
The TV network mtvU is operated by the MTV Networks division of Viacom and available at many colleges. MtvU's sponsorship of the poll is related to its mental-health campaign "Half of Us," which it runs with the Jed Foundation, a nonprofit group that works to reduce suicide among young people.

GLENDALE, Ariz., Jan. 21 (UPI) -- Dave Bolland scored two goals and added an assist for Chicago Sunday and the Blackhawks held off Phoenix 6-4.
Bolland's second goal 5:50 into the final period blunted a Coyotes comeback that had seen them narrow a 5-2 deficit with a pair of quick tallies earlier in the frame.
Marian Hossa also scored twice and Patrick Sharp added a goal and an assist for the Blackhawks, who notched a second straight victory to start the season.
Viktor Stallberg added a tally and Ray Emery made 25 saves for Chicago.
Martin Hanzal and Shane Doan scored less than a minute apart in the third period for Phoenix but the Coyotes fell to 1-1-0 on the young season.
David Moss and Antoine Vermette each recorded a score.
Phoenix's Mike Smith was torched for six goals on 31 shots.

Dr. James Gill new Connecticut chief medical examiner
FARMINGTON -- Dr. James R. Gill, a graduate of the UConn School of Medicine who has served for more than 15 years in New York City's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, is Connecticut's new chief medical examiner.
Gill's appointment was made by the state Commission on Medico-Legal Investigations, which has oversight for the Chief Medical Examiner's Office. Gill will assume his responsibilities in mid-July. He succeeds Dr. H. Wayne Carver II, who retired May 1.
"Dr. Gill has impressive training and credentials, including service in one of the busiest medical examiners' offices in the country," says Todd Fernow, chairman of the Commission on Medico-Legal Investigations. "The commission feels quite fortunate to have someone of Dr. Gill's vision and abilities assuming the directorship of the office."
In New York, Gill served as the city medical examiner for the Manhattan office, and most recently as deputy chief medical examiner for the Bronx County office. He has also been active in academics, serving as a clinical associate professor in the Department of Forensic Medicine at New York University School of Medicine. He previously taught at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, John Jay College of Criminal Justice and the University of New Haven.
Gill is a 1992 graduate of the UConn School of Medicine in Farmington and completed a residency in internal medicine at the Medical Center Hospital of Vermont, as well as a residency in anatomic pathology at Yale-New Haven Hospital. Gill received advanced training in oncologic pathology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and completed a fellowship in forensic pathology at the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
Gill is board-certified in anatomic pathology and forensic pathology and is licensed in both New York and Connecticut. He has published nearly 70 scholarly articles and has received numerous accolades, including the 2011 Distinguished Forensic Science Award from the University of New Haven and the Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science.
Chairman Fernow also thanked Carver for his more than 30 years of service to the state. "Dr. Carver demonstrated time and time again that the OCME serves the needs of all of the citizens of Connecticut, and that those who deal with the office are entitled to be treated with equanimity, compassion and respect," he said.

It's a simple question/debate to secure a server.
Avoiding getting too technical, I would like to keep this theoretical.
How secure would a network be if you used the method class to send abstract code, say authenticating data only.
Chaining at least two server side machines where only the server side knows the execution timings of the proprietary machine code when executing randomly chosen abstract versions.
Funnel the clients responsibly, no other access points.
Propagate the method class design to the client's side code.
Assuming encryption is done logically and proper, this would eliminate hacking all together.

A weapon failing to keep peace on any side
Drones are proving the best recruiters for the Taliban, writes Ben Doherty in Islamabad.
For all its noisy rhetoric, the Taliban has never had a recruiter like the US drones. ''I spent three months trying to recruit and only got 10 or 15 people,'' former Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud once said.
''One US drone attack and I get 150 volunteers.'' Mehsud is dead now, killed, predictably, by a drone strike in South Waziristan.
But more have taken his place, and the hostility towards the drones festers. Disquiet is also emerging outside Pakistan about the drones' legality, their civilian death toll and their ultimate effectiveness.
The emergence of new US tactics has soiled the drones' putative reputation as clean, ''surgical'' killers of the worst of the worst. Two in particular are resented - ''signature strikes'', in which unidentified men are targeted simply because of the way they appear to behave, and ''double-tap'' assaults, in which targets are hit twice in quick succession, often, it's alleged, as rescuers try to save the injured.
General James Cartwright, formerly US President Barack Obama's vice-chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is the latest insider to suggest the drones might be creating more terrorists than they kill.
''We're seeing that blowback,'' General Cartwright said last month, suggesting the aggressive drone campaign could be undermining efforts to quell extremism. ''If you're trying to kill your way to a solution, no matter how precise you are, you're going to upset people even if they're not targeted.''
The reliance on drones in Pakistan has jumped dramatically in recent years. From 2004 to 2009 the US made 52 drone strikes in north-west Pakistan. Since ordering his first on January 23, 2009, three days after being sworn into office, Obama has overseen 344. The latest was on March 21.
It remains an opaque war. America does not reveal how its controversial ''kill list'' is drawn up, and offers little information on casualties.
Pakistan's tribal areas, where the drones operate, are off-limits to foreigners and even Pakistanis who don't live there.
US officials have maintained the drone strikes are a ''targeted killing'' program, responsible only for ''single-digit'' civilian deaths. But data collected by independent agencies indicates many more.
Part of the discrepancy lies in how those killed are counted. The US presumes any male of fighting age a militant unless posthumously proved otherwise. Other agencies say this is a dangerous oversimplification.
The London-based Bureau for Investigative Journalism puts the death toll from drone strikes in Pakistan since 2004 at between 2537 and 3581. Between 411 and 884 of those have been civilians, between 168 and 197 children. Pakistan estimates more than 2200 people have died over nearly a decade, including ''at least 400 civilians''.
Pakistan maintains the US does not have its permission to launch the strikes on its soil and the United Nations says that without that permission the drone strikes are unlawful.
''It involves the use of force on the territory of another state without its consent and is therefore a violation of Pakistan's sovereignty,'' the UN's special rapporteur on human rights and counter-terrorism, Ben Emmerson, said last month.
A recent Pew poll found 74 per cent of Pakistanis believe the US is their country's enemy. Just 17 per cent said drone strikes were necessary to defend Pakistan from extremists.
''Drones are a specific, identifiable enemy of the people. People who live under the drones know they are from America, and it creates a sentiment of hate for America,'' says Mehran Ali Khan, senior researcher with the FATA Research Centre in Islamabad. ''People don't like the militants, they hate them, but they hate the Americans too.''
Khan is from Dabkot in South Waziristan. Few families in his region have been untouched by the drones, he says. Last year, his three brothers narrowly escaped an attack when they chose to walk a different path home from their fields. The regular route was bombed as they walked.
''People are fearful all the time living under them,'' Khan says. ''The drones kill and injure people and they destroy … homes and villages, but there is the social and the psychological impact too. People are frightened all of the time that they will be targeted.''
Khan says there are three main targets: hujras, the main meeting rooms of large family compounds; jirgas, public gatherings of village elders; and moving vehicles.
In deeply conservative, rural and poor Waziristan, extended families live together in mud-brick compounds. The hujra, where visitors are received and men sit to talk, is typically next to buildings reserved for women and children. When hujras are bombed, targeting visiting militants, the attack typically kills the women and children as well.
Attacks on jirgas also risk civilian lives. On March 17, 2011, two drone missiles struck an open-air bus shelter in Datta Khel, where elders were holding a jirga to discuss chromite mining. Forty-two people were killed, only four of whom were Taliban. The US maintains all those killed were insurgents. Independent reports, witness accounts and the Pakistani military disagree, and the attack sparked outraged protests across the country.
In recent months it is understood the US has moved away from the first two types of attacks. Instead, vehicles are targeted as they move between villages, and the drones fire smaller arms to minimise civilian casualties.
It remains an imperfect strategy. The view offered by the drone cameras can be flawed, too imprecise or even too close.
US drone pilot Matt Martin wrote in his autobiography (Predator: The Remote-Control Air War over Iraq and Afghanistan: A Pilot's Story) how a truck carrying insurgents appeared, through the Predator's footage, to be far enough from houses and pedestrians for a strike. Given clearance to take the shot, Martin fired, only to see two young boys riding a bicycle suddenly appear on the screen next to the truck as the missiles flew irretrievably towards it. The children were killed, along with those in the vehicle.
Militants now know they are being watched, Khan says. ''When they see a drone, they stop moving, they go into a house, or to a crowded place like a market.''
The most comprehensive independent analysis of the US drone program in Pakistan, a joint report by the law schools of Stanford and New York University, raises serious concerns.
The Bush White House, the report says, concentrated on ''personality strikes'', targeting named ''high-value'' terrorists. Under President Obama, the number of ''signature'' strikes has increased.
''According to US authorities, these strikes target 'groups of men who bear certain signatures, or defining characteristics associated with terrorist activity, but whose identities aren't known'. Just what those 'defining characteristics' are has never been made public,'' the report says.
It also raised concerns over ''double-tap'' strikes. In Pakistan it is believed these secondary attacks are aimed at killing those who come to the rescue of those injured. Mansur Khan Mahsud, director of the FATA Research Centre, says people are acutely aware of the practice.
''Now in Pakistan, when a drone strikes, the site is left alone for half an hour or an hour after an attack, for fear there will be secondary strikes. It stops first aid reaching those people who might have survived the initial blast.''
The drones breed mistrust not only of the US but of other Pakistanis. Sources say the Taliban have grown obsessed with finding spies they believe are on the US payroll, and the ''patrai'' - small electronic transmitters - they believe those agents leave in the houses of militants to guide drone strikes.
Whether the men accused are actually spies, or these transmitters even exist - the US declines to comment - is almost immaterial, Mahsud says.
''We hear about these from people, they believe, and people don't trust anyone any more. They think everyone is a spy.''
Like General Cartwright, Mr Mahsud believes the drones are ultimately counter-productive against Islamist extremism.
''The Pakistani Taliban have no future, because they have no support,'' he says. ''Most of the people hate them, they are getting weaker every week, and they don't have the money or the support or the capability they had two or three years ago.
''But for now, the Taliban have the excuse they are fighting America and NATO. When and if the Americans leave, and the drones stop, the Pakistani Taliban will lose their justification for existing.''

|Most globally influential cities such as New York, London and Tokyo are also appraised as financial centers. In addition, many emerging countries try to promote their capital cities as regional or global financial centers, and the competition to become a successful financial capital is getting tougher. This is because the financial services industry not only is a high-value-added industry itself but also can have huge effects on other service industries like accounting, consulting and legal services. Besides, powerful financial capitals can lead the economic growth of their countries by attracting foreign investment or entrances by global enterprises. Recognizing that its level of financial-sector development paled in comparison to those of other developed countries in spite of its status as the world's 12th largest economy, South Korea also initiated and implemented a development plan to promote financial industries as a new driving force for national economic growth. This thesis analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the City of Seoul as a financial center compared to other comparable Asian cities, using four indices which global institutions or presses publish periodically. This study concludes that Seoul must improve several elements in order to become a successful financial capital. Although Seoul is one of the cities most frequently cited as a promising financial center and recently showed great improvement in diverse aspects, still efforts should be made to make the city more competitive as a financial capital. Seoul must design its own strategic approach if it wishes to be more competitive in financial industry among Asian cities.

SACRAMENTO (AP) — Federal education officials renewed a threat this week to withhold funds from California if it moves forward this spring with a plan to abandon the standardized tests the state's public school students have taken since 1999.
The U.S. Department of Education informed state officials through a letter that more than $3.5 billion in federal aid for disadvantaged students is at stake in the dispute, the San Jose Mercury News (http://bit.ly/16OrzO0) reports.
Assistant Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education Deborah Delisle wrote that federal officials support the new computerized tests California wants to give students in grades 3-8 and 11 on a trial basis.
But Delisle says the state's plan to have students take either the math or language sections and not report the 2014 test results for individual students or schools would be out of compliance with federal law — specifically the provisions of the No Child Left Behind that require students from 3rd grade on to be tested in both areas every year and school-wide scores to be made public.
"We are concerned that failure to comply with this requirement would have a negative impact on students, particularly at-risk students such as English Learners, students with disabilities and low-income students," she wrote.
California Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson and State Board of Education President Michael Kirst issued a statement saying they remain committed to launching the new tests statewide and hopeful they will be able to satisfy the concerns of federal officials.
"To the extent there is disagreement with the federal government, there is a process for addressing it, and we'll continue to work with officials in Washington," they said. "Federal officials have never before taken money out of classrooms, and we would hope and expect that they would not start now."
California is seeking to replace the pencil-and-paper, multiple-choice STAR tests with new language and math tests taken on computers, called the Measurement of Academic Progress and Performance. The tests are being developed with other states to follow a set of national curriculum standards known as Common Core, but California is the only state preparing to give it to all students this spring instead of conducting a limited field test.

Billy "The Kid" Dib of Australia lost his featherweight world title to Evgeny Gradovich of Russia via split decision in March in Connecticut. Dib made no bones about it, he wants a rematch.
He took a step in that direction Friday night when he won a majority decision over Mike Oliver on "Friday Night Fights" on ESP2 from Connecticut Convention Center in Hartord, Conn. Dib won by two scores of 96-92, while the third card was even at 94-94.
Dib was deducted points for low blows in the second and third rounds.
Dib, 27, is 36-2 with 21 knockouts. Oliver, of Hartford, is 33. He is now 25-4 with eight knockouts.

Proper usage and maintenance
Proper usage and maintenance is vital for getting the most out of the valuable resources we have. Our designs are made to last for generations, but just like everything else, they need a little care to get there.
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, popular for its superb malleability, hardness, corrosion resistance and attractive appearance.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Brass will tarnish over time, especially if it is not kept dry. Find a suitable brass polish and clean the brass carefully without staining other materials.
Since brass can be quite susceptible to tarnish, small spots might already have occurred on the product when unpacking. These can easily be polished off.

About the designer / Stilleben
Like the art phenomenon it derives its name from, the design duo Stilleben ('still life') represents a combination of elements that come together in a harmonious whole. Ditte Reckweg and Jelena Nordentoft have achieved the same harmonious resonance. The two ceramicists met at The Danish Design School, and shortly after graduation they had the idea for the shop Stilleben, which carries carefully selected craft and design objects for the table, the home and the wardrobe. Today, Stilleben is a trend-setting and internationally recognised gallery in the heart of Copenhagen, driven by a clear sense of aesthetic, quality and passion.
