Date of Defense 2010-03-29 Availability unrestricted Abstract Liquid crystal phases exhibit physical characteristics that lie between those of liquid and crystal phases. The many liquid crystal sub-phases are defined based on the degree of positional and orientational ordering the molecules have and the materials that make up these liquid crystal phases. This thesis presents a study of the molecular packing and physical properties of complex liquid crystal phases using dopants to better examine the stability and packing mechanisms of these phases. It also looks at the dispersion of quantum dots in liquid crystal materials, examining the electro-optical properties of the mixtures. The main goal of this thesis is to examine the effects of dopants on the properties of liquid crystal phases using optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, electro-optical measurements, and X-ray scattering. For those mixtures with quantum dots fluorescence microscopy and photoluminescence measurements were also conducted.Rod-like liquid crystals are commonly used in display applications when the material is in a nematic liquid crystal phase, which is the least ordered phase exhibiting no positional ordering. The more complicated chiral smectic liquid crystal phases, which have a one dimensional layer structure, show potential for faster and tri-stable switching. A chiral rod-like liquid crystal material is doped with both chiral and achiral rod-like liquid crystals to examine the stability of one of the chiral smectic sub-phase, the SmC*FI1 phase. This phase consists of tilted molecules rotating about the cone defined by the tilt angle with a periodicity of three layers and an overall helical structure.
The SmC*FI1 phase is stabilized by the competition between antiferroelectric and ferroelectric interactions, and small amounts of the achiral dopant broadens the range of this phase by almost 5 ˚C. Higher dopant concentrations of the achiral material result in the destabilization of not just the SmC*FI1 phase but all tilted sub-phases. Small amounts of an opposite-handed chiral dopant narrow the phase range, with the phase completely destabilized around the same dopant concentration as for the achiral dopant. Besides the importance of optical purity for the stability of the SmC*FI1 phase it can be concluded that steric effects play an important role in the stability of this phase. This research indicates that the SmC*FI1 phase can be stabilized using dopants with molecular cores similar to those of the host molecules, but with shorter terminal chains.
Bent-core molecules have become a focus of research due to their potential for exhibiting biaxial nematic phases and because certain bent-core phases have useful switching properties. A bent-core liquid crystal material that exhibits a monotropic B1 phase can be induced into a switching phase with the application of an electric field less than 10 V/μm. From X-ray and electro-optical measurements the switching phase is believed to be the B2 phase, and once induced this phase exhibits an almost threshold-less switching.
Since the B1 phase exhibited is monotropic it does crystallize over time, though stabilization of the B1 phase against crystallization can be achieved by adding small amounts of a chiral rod-like liquid crystal dopant. The dopant stabilizes the B1 phase at the expense of the switching phase, increasing the threshold electric field needed to induce the phase transition to the switching phase and completely destabilizing the low-field switching. At slightly higher dopant concentrations the B1 phase is no longer favored due to unfavorable core-terminal chain interactions and a smectic phase is exhibited. This study indicates that the B1 phase can be stabilized by dopant molecules with similar cores to the host molecules, but with small terminal chains.
Quantum dots have potential in many applications, some of which involve the electronic coupling of quantum dots. This coupling occurs when quantum dots are assembled close together, and these assemblies can be directed by using the partial ordering of rod-like liquid crystal molecules. At high concentrations of quantum dots the dots tend to cluster together, forming large aggregates and not uniformly dispersing. These clusters in turn disrupt the liquid crystal texture, creating more defects. At lower concentrations the quantum dots can disperse in a chiral nematic liquid crystal phase in a uniform manner. The addition of quantum dots lowers the threshold electric field needed for a reorientation of the liquid crystal molecules in the chiral nematic phase. We can conclude that the quantum dots act as impurities in the liquid crystal mixtures, with the distribution of the dots dictated by the size, concentration, capping agent, and mixing time of the dots and also by the formation of the liquid crystal texture.

A crackdown on underage drinking and driving
One teenager is sitting on the front porch about to drink a can of beer. Another is driving down I-95 with a blood alcohol content above the legal limit.
If caught, which teenager would receive a harsher punishment? The one on the porch, according to current state law. Members of the General Assembly recently voted to correct that disparity and increase the penalties for underage drinking and driving. In Virginia, possession of alcohol by someone under 21 is a Class 1 misdemeanor – a crime punishable by up to 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine. The section of the Virginia Code dealing with underage drinking and driving makes no mention of a misdemeanor. It simply states: "It shall be unlawful for any person under the age of 21 to operate any motor vehicle after illegally consuming alcohol … A violation of this section shall be punishable by forfeiture of such person's license to operate a motor vehicle for a period of six months from the date of conviction and by a fine of not more than $500." During the General Assembly's recently concluded session, lawmakers passed legislation that will make underage drinking and driving a Class 1 misdemeanor. The assembly passed two identical bills on the subject: Senate Bill 770, proposed by Sen. David Marsden, D-Burke; and House Bill 1407, sponsored by Delegate Bill Janis, R-Glen Allen. Both bills won unanimous approval in the House and Senate and have been sent to Gov. Bob McDonnell to be signed into law. The measures offer "zero tolerance" for underage drinking and driving: They would punish any driver under 21 who has a blood alcohol content of 0.02 or higher. (A BAC of 0.08 is considered legally intoxicated.) Under the legislation, young people convicted of underage drinking and driving must forfeit their license to operate a motor vehicle for one year and either pay a mandatory minimum fine of $500 or perform 50 hours of community service. Marsden said opponents of underage drinking have been trying to pass such a measure for years. But he said there were concerns that it might violate the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act. (Under that law, states could lose certain federal funding if they arbitrarily criminalize "status offenses" – offenses based on a person being underage. The goal of the act is to minimize the number of young people sent to jail for nonviolent crimes.) However, Marsden said federal officials assured him that this wouldn't be a problem and that Virginia wouldn't lose any funding if it cracks down on underage drinking and driving. After he shared this information with his colleagues, Marsden said, the passage of SB 770 "went very smoothly." Alcohol awareness groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving view SB 770 and HB 1407 as a positive step. Christopher Konschak, the program manager for the Virginia branch of MADD, said he hopes the new law will change some of the decisions teenagers make. "We want young folk to look hard at what they are doing," Konschak said. "We don't want them in jail." According to MADD statistics, 28 percent of fatal traffic crashes involving teen drivers are alcohol-related. Kurt Gregory Erickson, president of the Virginia-based nonprofit Washington Regional Alcohol Program, also praised the legislation. "Virginia lawmakers' reaffirmation to crack down on drinking and driving teens is not only welcomed but needed," Erickson said. He cited government statistics showing that more than one in 10 drunken drivers killed in Virginia in 2009 were under 21. "What this law will mean come July 1 is that teens driving in Virginia with virtually any amount of alcohol in their systems will lose their license for a year and be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor," Erickson said.

Magic, on ice
Disney's Frozen shines as an instant classic
Disney has spent the past few years in search of that certain something; that 'Disney Magic.' It's been a slow process. From The Princess and the Frog to Tangled to Wreck-it Ralph, the studio took slow steps, welcoming its princesses and fairy tales and musical numbers back into the fold. Every film was an improvement on the last, but none of them had anywhere near the charm or lasting appeal of the early '90s highs of the "Disney Renaissance."
Frozen, by far, is the House of Mouse's best attempt at a new Little Mermaid. > Read more.

"Our concentration of brainpower, our well-educated workforce and our tradition of invention and innovation over many centuries now make us an especially attractive place for the innovation industries so critical to today's and tomorrow's economy."
- Governor Deval Patrick, State House Small Business Fair, May 2012
Massachusetts has recovered from the recession faster and stronger than the nation as a whole, with an unemployment rate of 6.4 percent compared to the national average of 7.6 percent. By January 2013, Massachusetts had gained back all its jobs lost during the recession.
Putting Community Colleges at the Center of our Job Creation Strategy
There are 233,000 people still looking for work in Massachusetts – and over 150,000 job openings. The #1 issue for regional employers is the "skills gap" that leaves middle-skilled jobs unfilled. Massachusetts community colleges are uniquely positioned to help close our skills gap and get people back to work.
Signed by Governor Patrick in July 2012, the FY13 budget adopts the Governor's proposal to create a more unified, coordinated community college system . The reforms will enable students to transfer their credits more easily and local campuses to be more responsive to the needs of local economies as well as of the state's fastest growing sectors. Adopted in the budget the Governor signed are the additional reforms:
- Stronger connections between the Department of Higher Education and leadership of the community colleges;
- Stronger connection and accountability between community colleges and vocational/technical schools; and
- Increased oversight and integration of workforce development initiatives at the regional level.
In addition, the budget provides $5 million in Performance Incentive Grants dedicated for community colleges and $2.25 million to fund "Rapid Response Grants" which will allow community colleges and potential employers to develop career specific curriculum based on the needs of the employer.
Investing in Innovation
Our concentration of brainpower, research institutions and venture capital and our well-educated workforce put Massachusetts at the center of the global innovation economy. Governor Patrick's 10-year, $1 billion Life Sciences Initiative has invested over $300 million of state resources to generate nearly a billion dollars in new private investment and thousands of new jobs. A report released by the Boston foundation in March 2013 found that over the last 10 years the state's life sciences cluster has created jobs in Massachusetts at a faster pace than any other industry sector in the Commonwealth. The report also found the since 2008, Massachusetts has eclipsed all other competitor states in the rate of life sciences job creation. Massachusetts has eclipsed all other competitor states in the rate of life sciences job creation. Massachusetts also invests more in energy efficiency than any other state in the US. Thanks to our investments in the clean tech sector, we have seen solar energy installments increase by 71 fold and wind energy installments increase by 31 fold since 2007, and recently announced a new solar energy goal of 1,600 MW installed by 2020.
Recently signed by the Governor,"An Act Relative to Infrastructure Investment, Enhanced Competitiveness and Economic Growth in the Commonwealth," will increase economic development and create jobs in the Commonwealth's key sectors of innovation and infrastructure. It includes a number of initiatives supporting those sectors, including $50 million for a Scientific and Technology Research and Development Matching Fund. The fund will support collaborative research and development projects among businesses and universities, building off the example of the Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center in Holyoke, which is expected to be completed fall 2012.
In the area of workforce training and education, the legislation includes $5 million for the Workforce Competitiveness Trust Fund, which prepares Massachusetts residents for new jobs in high-demand occupations and which helps to close the middle-skills gap and create seamless pathways to employment.
Investing in Infrastructure
The Patrick-Murray Administration invests in infrastructure projects in all corners of the state to create jobs and build a stronger Commonwealth for the next generation. In 2011 alone, Massachusetts invested nearly a billion dollars in road and bridge projects to fund 450 projects across the state. Through MassWorks Infrastructure Grant program , communities across the state have been awarded $61 million to invest in local infrastructure projects and spur economic development. And we have invested $70 million to leverage public and private resources to expand high-speed Internet access to improve education, strengthen public safety and better allow cities and towns to compete in the global economy.
The 2012 Transportation Bond Bill provides $1.5 billion in state and federal funds for road, rail and bridges programs across the state. The historic $3 billion Patrick-Murray Accelerated Bridge Program has greatly reduced the number of structurally deficient bridges in the state system, while creating thousands of construction jobs on bridge projects.
Supporting Small Businesses
Our collective growth and prosperity depends on the growth and prosperity of small businesses. This year, Governor Patrick announced the initial results of a systematic review of state regulations and new steps to streamline regulations for small businesses . After reviewing 200 regulations that were each more than 12 years old, Governor Patrick has approved changes to nearly 150 regulations. In addition, the Governor launched a new effort to make sure that no new regulation is issued without serious consideration of its impact on small businesses.
In a video message to state employees responsible for writing, reviewing and issuing regulations, Governor Patrick encouraged state regulators to present their best ideas for regulatory reform and government innovation.

By Gregory Phillips Staff writer
Sales tax money in Cumberland County will continue to be shared for at least the next three years.
Without comment Monday night, the Cumberland County Board of Commissioners approved a three-year extension of a decade-old agreement that dictates how $75 million in sales tax money is shared each year.
Under the agreement, the money is shared with Fayetteville and other municipalities based on their populations. The towns reimburse one another and the county 50 percent of the money they receive from annexed areas.
The towns had sought to eliminate the reimbursements, but agreed to an extension after the county threatened to distribute the money by tax base, which would result in the towns receiving less.
Eastover, which incorporated in 2007, will no longer have to reimburse its neighbors based on its entire population, a provision in its charter which expires in June.
Jimmy Keefe, chairman of the county board of commissioners, said Tuesday the paperwork from all the towns arrived in time for Monday's vote.
"We got all the signed documentation," he said. "We're good with three years."
The county mayors coalition, led by Spring Lake Mayor Chris Rey, had complained that the county didn't approach them in time to negotiate a new agreement before the April 30 deadline to amend it. They have pledged to negotiate a longer-term agreement long before this latest three year extension expires.

Why Your Documents need Human indexingHuman interaction is necessaryMany people think that computer searches can locate any reference -- whether it's an idea, a concept, a name, etc. -- within any document (digital or text, website or image). At best, this assumption is erroneous. At worst, it's dangerous.Computers search for keywords and phrases, limit searches with qualifiers such as "or," "and," "not," or "date of publication" (or a combination of these), and can even locate items by keywords in -- or out -- of context (kwic / kwoc). These types of searches help users find the information they seek -- as long as the documents have been properly catalogued or indexed -- by a human. What computers cannot yet do is distinguish between heterographs, heteronyms, homographs, homonyms, homophones, and/or synonyms (click here for an illustrative example). They cannot locate concepts unless the exact search term is known and used. Computers cannot assign value (significance) to indexed terms -- one term is exactly as important as any other term (Churchill = Church Mouse). Above all, computers cannot index image content beyond a very limited scope. Only humans can do these things, and that's why indexes need human interaction. Types of Indexes we produce for you

We have just begun implementing a new comprehensive curriculum which will enable our theater graduates to take advantage of a variety of career opportunities.
Theater is made up of many areas of career specialization. These areas include (but are not limited to): acting, directing, scenic design, costume design, lighting design, makeup design, sound design, technical direction, stage management, and publicity. Each area of career specialization has its own set required crafts.
In addition, within each area of specialization are various trades, requiring specific sets of skills. These trades include: carpenters, scenic artists, property master, master electricians, light board operators, sound board operators, costume shop managers, tailors, deck managers and more.
Each student has the opportunity to choose, and become proficient in, one area of career specialization and to acquire one or more set(s) of trade skills. This combination will enable the student to pursue career and job opportunities in community, college and professional theater. Additional opportunities are available in scenic, costume and television studios; civic centers, auditoriums and event planning organizations.
The revised comprehensive curriculum was developed with graduate school in mind. The curriculum covers a breadth of topics while also allowing for in depth study in areas of interest. Each student creates a portfolio highlighting his or her area of specialization and develops and presents a senior capstone project in the area. These are designed to be used as submissions to graduate programs.

A New Jersey Turnpike Authority toll supervisor was convicted of stealing the wallet of a victim of a car crash that occurred at a toll plaza, acting Atlantic County Prosecutor Jim McClain announced Thursday.
On Wednesday (Oct. 30), an Atlantic County jury found Thomas Giberson, 35, of Cedar Run, Ocean County, guilty of stealing a Massachusetts man's wallet, which he removed from the scene of a car accident.
In August 2012, Giberson — a 16-year employee of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority — was on duty as a supervisor at the Garden State Parkway's Great Egg Toll Plaza, located in Somers Point, when a motor vehicle accident occurred.
At the toll plaza, Daniel Mensah, of Worcester, Mass., became involved in a motor vehicle accident, when his vehicle was struck by the vehicle behind him. While Mensah was exiting his vehicle, his wallet fell from his lap onto the ground. When Mensah went to retrieve his wallet, he was unable to find it.
New Jersey State Police troopers, who were called to the scene of the accident, were also unable to locate the wallet and questioned Giberson, who was at the scene. Giberson denied having any knowledge as to the wallet's whereabouts.
However, Giberson had found the wallet on the ground, picked it up, and concealed it in his tollbooth.
The disappearance of the wallet was investigated by state troopers, who reviewed the surveillance camera footage at the tollbooth and discovered footage of Giberson removing the wallet from the scene of the accident and taking it out of the view of the cameras.
At the time of the theft, Mensah — who was headed to Wildwood for a family vacation — had $400 cash in his wallet.
State Police charged Giberson with fourth-degree theft.
At trial, the State, represented by Assistant Prosecutor John Moldovan, played the jury the surveillance video of the defendant picking up the wallet and walking away.
The defendant continued to maintain his innocence.
After two hours of deliberation the jury unanimously convicted Giberson of the theft.
Fourth-degree theft carries a sentence of up to 180 days in county jail and up to $10,000 in fines.
Giberson will be sentenced on Dec. 6.

Australia just follows America, so it is useless to give us a seat.
[–]SenorFreebie 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
That's not entirely true. It seems as if the UN has pivoted a little bit back to supporting US resolutions lately. However, often the votes are quite close. For example, Argentina is likely to vote against certain measures on ethical grounds ... while Australia is not.
So what this does mean is for actions that wouldn't normally be vetoed by Russia (China has barely ever used veto) the US may be able to act through the security council with more authority than before.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
BUT France is also there. France seems to give two shits about what the US wants, and will veto whatever they think is not appropriate for UN interference.

Classroom Conversations: A Collection of Classics for Parents and Teachers
by Alexandra Miletta and Maureen Miletta
(2008, The New Press)
Reviewed by Marti Schwartz
Novice-Teacher Educator (Rhode Island)
Teacher Leaders Network
Reading the articles gathered together in Classroom Conversations: A Collection of Classics for Parents and Teachers by Alexandra Miletta and Maureen Miletta (a mother-daughter pair of teacher educators who comment on each article) was a fascinating walk with many of the giants of education thinking who have shaped our path over the past century. Each article offered up wise words, grouped into five broad topics: Understanding Children, What's Worth Learning, The Work of Teaching, On Equity and Issues of Social Justice, and The Final Word: Purposes of Education in a Democracy.
I picked this book up eagerly, squeezing it into early summer reading, seeking just the right one — or two — or even three articles which would illuminate the most important ideas for my novice teachers when we met in late July. As I read the introduction, I was reminded of one of my third grade students who wrote that "Ribsy by Beverly Cleary is a book that has stood the test of time because it has been read a lot and it has great words that everyone can use. Also they would be happy in the end because Henry finds Ribsy."
So, too, Miletta & Miletta comment: "For our own well-being and in order to forget ahead, we often turn to our favorite writers, whose wise words and thoughts fill our bookshelves and files. These are people whose work stands the test of time. As educational fads and jargon come and go, we feel a strong connection to these great thinkers who have shaped our beliefs and practices in education and who continue to have an influence in the field."
And these articles, these thinkers, from Vivian Gussin Paley and Eleanor Duckworth advising us to listen and learn from our students, to Peggy McIntosh and Sonia Nieto who seek to open our eyes to the cultural realms of our students in order to help us to understand their needs — all have wise words for us. Focusing on the arts — teaching the whole child (including both moral and intellectual attentiveness, according to David Hansen and so many others) — developing creative and critical thinkers, echoed and reechoed by so many writers within this text…confirm what (hopefully) most educators know and live by.
Each article is prefaced by an introduction written by one of the collection's authors, with a conclusion offered by the alternate partner. Their comments summarized key points, quoted the highlights, gave background on the article's author, and put forth the big ideas. Sometimes this made reading the actual article almost redundant.
In terms of article selection, it was not until I got to John Dewey (whose article was written between 1899-1906) that I became excited. YES! I shouted, over and over again. Maureen Miletta introduces his words with these:
It is amazing to me that educators faced many of these still-familiar concerns more than a century ago, and yet we now face national standards (with little educator input) and increasingly scripted curriculum, both of which unfortunately illustrate the continued lack of faith in the practitioners to whom the education of America's children has been entrusted.
Many of these articles in this collection are well worth reading and re-reading. Many of the problems persist, and obviously will continue to vex those who believe that "schools should offer what students need to take part in a democratic society and its culture — a complex package for everybody's children that would equip them for full participation in work, culture, and liberty." (Joseph Featherstone, p.287). Unfortunately for my purposes, Classroom Conversations doesn't open any new doors, or particularly extend our thinking on these issues, even with the comments from Alexandra and Maureen Miletta. In seeking solutions, my novices will need to look elsewhere.

I will make this brief but there is plenty of thread already started on this subject: Mobile Player freezes and quits after trying to play in landscape mode:
I am wm6.1 , HTC Touch Pro (relatively high end phone/pda user. I had Hava on a ppc6700 and an HTC Mogul. Had problems on the mogul but eventually was fixed and had been working great . I upgraded phones to a VGA Touch Pro. You think it would have gotten even better to watch. However as MANY users found out, the player would work in its almost microscopic(due to resolution) portrait mode, but then when you try to go to landscape mode, it comes on for just a second or two, chops up, then freezes and disconnects. 100 percent of the time. I have seen many other users post the same issue and the support team said since November that there would be a "fix" coming very soon. I went through this a while back about fixes and such when there were original problems until what appeared to be third party involvment produced a working solution . It appears some of us are now in the same situation as before. Waiting on a fix that is promised but does not seem to come. I know many of us have bought the unit for using the mobile piece as a unique option that other phone/ppc users do not have. The thing is we paid fo it and should expect some issues resolved after months of waiting. the problem has been well documented. I am asking all who are experiencing this issue to please post a reply here in hopes that someone in support will take this problem seriously. I have given so much word of mouth advertising for this product, I almost feel I should be on the payroll. Now if someone asks to see my Hava work, I have to tell them it's broken to avoid looking like an idiot. If you too are experiencing the issue of the mobile player crashing after going into landscape mode, please post here . I urge you. We need a collective voice here. HAVA SUPPORT< PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE, it's been stated here for months and months and still no fix. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tadashi Yanai opened his first Uniqlo (shortened from "Unique Clothing Warehouse") in Hiroshima in 1984 — building on a family apparel business that that existed since 1949:
Expanding steadily over the following decade, he launched strip-mall and suburban stand-alone stores throughout Japan and, finally, breached Tokyo city limits with a Harajuku flagship shop in 1998. Soon after, Uniqlo hit upon the product that would transform the retailer from a ho-hum chain store into a Japanese household name: A $20 fleece jacket, in a rainbow of colors, found the sweet spot of the recession-strapped Japanese middle class. No longer an expensive technical fabric meant for mountain climbing, fleece could be worn on the street or around the office. Uniqlo fleece became ubiquitous in Japan — in the year 2000 alone, it sold 26 million. It also gave Yanai a taste of what it's like to leave your mark on an entire society.
A brand like Zara attempts to chase trends, reacting nimbly season after season. When an unanticipated mini-fad for purple crocheted tops emerges, Zara will scramble to move a new item from the factory floor to store shelves in about two weeks. Uniqlo employs a nearly opposite supply-chain strategy: It places gargantuan orders up to a full year in advance, allowing it to negotiate rock-bottom costs for high-quality work. It then passes on those savings to its customers. Because it sells wardrobe essentials, it can count on fairly stable demand. "Our predictive planning is very accurate," says Odake, "so we rarely do heavy markdowns. We don't operate any outlets in Japan."

Love Them or They'll Leave You – 50% of Employees are Planning to Change Jobs in the Next 12 Months
VictorsFood Director Victor Pisapia says, "What we recommend is that companies book in for an 'End of GFC' booster session. Our cooking teambuilding events offer a genuine opportunity for upper management to interact with their staff on a level playing field. We can build important key messages into the event so if a company wants to express appreciation and gratitude to its people, this is a great way to do it because cooking creates a great buzz amongst participants and also allows people to let down their defences. Too often managers leave it too late and end up with staff who are unmotivated, unhappy and will tell anyone who will listen how much they hate their job. Teambuilding creates a positive atmosphere with the added benefit of being motivational and uplifting."
Enrico Coiera, Director of the Centre for Health Informatics says, "With a new team to pull together, several coming from interstate or overseas, Ineededto find a way to help them bond, and build work relationships that would sustain them beyond the 9 to 5.Our VictorsFoodteam building experience gave me all I wanted and more. The day itself was all that was promised, entertaining, engrossing, and tasty. But the payoff was in the weeksand months that followed. I had started with a group of individuals who were being polite to their new colleagues. I now had a team that had an experience over which they bonded, and were now doing the running all themselves, at work and after work. I could not be more pleased."
Business owners shouldn't hesitate to get their team back on track before they start to head off in the direction of the competition. To book your VictorsFood teambuilding event call 02 9698 7684 or visit www.victorsfood.com.au

A House of Representatives committee has uncovered what it called massive tax fraud by 21 commercial banks in the past seven years.
The House Committee on Finance, which has been probing tax remittances to government coffers by banks between 2006 and 2013, said yesterday this was part of the findings of its investigation.
Chairman of the committee, Rep Abdulmumin Jibrin (PDP, Kano), who released the initial findings in Abuja yesterday, said commercial banks have dubiously turned taxes collected on behalf of the government into another venture.
He said in a statement that "balances reported in the published audited accounts of some banks show huge variance with the figures submitted to the committee, and data submitted to the CBN in their monthly returns on the same issues were found to be different from what was tendered before the committee."
Jibrin, who did not mention the amount involved, said, "It is obvious that over the years government has lost billions of naira in fraudulent and underhand dealings corruptly designed by some banks to evade tax. This is in addition to being massively and callously short-changed by banks saddled with the responsibility of collecting and remitting taxes."
He said it was also discovered that some banks created exemption rules for themselves in total disregard for the provisions of extant tax laws, particularly violations of the stamp duty, withholding tax and VAT acts, with some chief executives deliberately refusing to make available the required information to the committee.
He said there were inconsistencies and huge variances in some data provided in different pages of documents submitted to the committee, thus making it "to conclude that many banks blatantly engage in the creative accounting technique of inflating their operating costs to reduce their exposure to taxes."
"Preliminary findings show a poor quality of returns by the Banks, discrepancies in data submitted, outright refusal to present documentary evidence and blanket violations of existing laws, self exemption from existing rules, false declaration, manipulation and distortion of information among others.
"There are also many cases of late remittances or outright failure to remit money collected on behalf of government. These despicable acts of gross misconduct clearly depict the unscrupulous and roguish character of some banks and their chief executive officers. For the Committee on Finance, this is unacceptable," he added.

Cozy restaurant with good service and excellent food. Far beyond what you'd expect in a town of this size. Definitely worth stopping in.
Cozy restaurant with good service and excellent food. Far beyond what you'd expect in a town of this size. Definitely worth stopping in.
We arrived in town later in the evening and it was clear that the staff would have soon locked up but they were just fantastic and made us feel very comfortable. The meals were excellent and again, the service was terrific. We would go often if we lived in Mitchell!
Large wine list and variety of beers. Friendly and efficient wait staff. Broad menu w excellent beef well-prepared. Capable of handling parties of 10 or more with dishes brought to the table at the same time. $$$. Our group dines there annually and we plan to return next year.
Chef Louie's has been an institution around here forever. The ambiance is nothing fancy, and is a bit dated, but the manager was very friendly and gracious, the wait staff were very good, and the food was excellent. I had the 6 oz portion of the Steak Filet Oscar, and it was fantastic. The salad was fresh, with home-made blue... More
After a long day's drive this place is a pleasure. Steaks and sides were excellent, and the service was quite good. A great value.
We just tried this while visiting our son. We had a rental car at the time, and a child in a wheelchair. I just have to give a heads up to the staff that they must have seen my husband struggling to take the wheelchair out of the rental because when we got in the door, our server greeted us... More
We have eaten here many, many times when passing thru. The food it normally excellent. Last night was a little different. Steak was good, my salad had a lot of brown leaves in it. When we got out dinner, my potato was rotten in the middle and cold. They returned it to the kitchen. My husband and my potato was... More
The service is like none other and they treat you like you are part of the family! I have never had a bad meal here or bad service. Tacy and Heidi go above to ensure a great experience!
My husband and made it a point to stop here on our way home from the Black Hills. We were not disappointed. Our welcome was warm, the atmosphere was lovely, and the food was outstanding. I husband had the fillet and garlic mashed potatoes. I had the filet Oscar and hashbrowns. OMG, those hashbrowns were out of this world, and... More
The best place in Mitchell if you want great food for reasonable prices. The menu has great variety and would satisfy most any tastes. The prices are very fair for the quality. The wine list is wonderful offering choices from the low end ($20s) to mid range and then very high end. Whatever you could want was available. Very nice... More

I'm here!!! I'm in Texas, the flattest state Ive ever seen! As I sit across from my soul sister and artistic match - we sip our coffee, edit our photos, and chat about life.
There are smiles, a cardinal singing in the yard, and a husband at home who is doing his first real full day with all three children on his own (YOU CAN DO IT BABY!). Today will be a day at the beach, in shops, and then an over night just girls in our own hotel room. The world (or Texas) is our oyster!
The flight seemed to take forever. The airport a guessing game disaster if you asked me, but I do presume since I'm here that really it all went okay. I didn't expect for goodbyes in New York to be so hard... who was I to think I could just leave everyone, hop a plane, and not shed any tears!? Fantasy land. The worst was watching my husbands face get smaller and smaller and harder to see as I stood on the security line. Of course I did security wrong, almost forgot to take off my shoes, and was poked fun of by the security officers when I raised my hands over my head in the futuristic scanner. Needless to say my anxiety was running a muck! Literally dragging me up and down the coast of New Jersey.
Arriving at my gate I got on line to board and realized that I was not meant to be there yet, I did NOT want to end up in Chicago! So I did the walk of embarrassed shame, sat down with my adrenaline headache and nearly bawled. An hours wait found me pulling up my big girl panties to find some ibuprofen and a drink. A little jumping up and down in my head and a "I did it", and I was calming down a bit (thanks adrenaline crash). From there it was a delayed take off and being squished against the window by a larger than life line backer sort of fellow. Next to him sat a mouthy New Jersey-esque who did nothing but complain of texas, the flight, and advice on where to eat (complete with routes and street names). Did I mention the flight seemed to take for-eva!?
All was good when we landed and a sudden rush of excitement took over. My soul sister of more than 7 years awaited me just past security! There she was! We hugged, we squealed, and we headed straight for the nearest thrift outlet! (poppin' tagsssss). It's amazing how two people that jive so well via text and skype, jive so naturally in person too. It's like we have been with each other before, everything just fits!
It is in my opinion that EVERY friend should be a BEST friend. The people you take into your life should not be sub-par but everything you want in a friend. Treat each friend in your life like they are your only because they deserve that treatment. They love you, you love them, and love is not a half assed sort of emotion.
Jax is so wonderful in person! She's quirky, sweet, and has a little southern drawl. She raps in the car, carries her old starbucks cup into starbucks to throw it out and receive and newly brewed handful. Jax is petite, sweet, and silly as a lamb hopping through fresh spring grass. It's amazing to see all of her artwork in person! It's everywhere and reminds me of my own home with my artistic things strewn into every nook and cranny. Here I can actually touch her work, see all the in progresses, and kick her in the ass when I see there are new things that have not yet appeared in her etsy shop or blog (mmm hmmm guuuurl)

I'm home. And there was much rejoicing.
I'm gonna try to nail down a few things about the book over the week-end. It's definitely gonna be an anthology; it's definitely gonna be all new material (I want those who got really screwed over completed work to take it where they're gonna be paid real money, not empty promises); I want a theme, along the lines of 'blowhard gets what's coming to him' but in an allegorical sense; I'd like to see a combination of panel-to-panel and prose (hear that, authors?); I want all proceeds to go to those who swallowed the tepid kool-aid, divided up as evenly as possible (which I know ain't gonna be easy, considering both the sum of monies owed and number of creators financially injured). Most of all, I want this to be cathartic and fun, a good read for buyers and a release for contributors.
The one thing I don't want is any mention directly of the Troll-ney. There's your challenge.
I'll need editors, participants, list of injured parties, that sorta thing. I'm taking Ian up on his printing offer, and probably gonna use a combination of the SPA, IF and ICC as co-publishers. Hell, if Jonah wants to slap the CBR label on it, I'd be only too happy to have him on-board. He's been patient as feck about this bandwidth monstrosity.
The only other thing I don't want is credit. I ain't doing this for me, for finances or for reputation. Good people lost a lotta time and effort cuz of this git, and I just wanna see some good come from it. Lemons to lemonade sorta thing.
I'm laying claim to 'Moby Dick'; I've already started designing Ahab, and I've drawn a few orca (for obvious reasons) so I've just gotta do my research.
I'll need to figure out a minimum and maximum page count; to ease the printing worries, we'll stick to even numbers for now. We also gotta decide whether to go with color interiors or b&w. Oh, and please don't let this take away from other assignments. This twit doesn't deserve another iota of energy.
Gail, if you think this needs a separate thread, lemme know.
Mebbe we can get this done before the convention season starts.

text: My cars rear defroster post broke off the grid, the rear defroster has a post that is attached to the circuit on the rear window. I repaired it years ago with an electrical conduction bonding cement. I can no longer find that product, I did find a kit from a company called Permatex, the product is called "Rear Window Defogger Tab Adhesive" But it didn't work, it just wouldn't hold. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix it?

Fong Lee's family claims police had recovered the same gun in a burglary years before.
Nearly three years ago, a rookie Minneapolis police officer shot and killed 19-year-old Fong Lee during a chase on an elementary school playground. A grand jury cleared the officer of any criminal wrongdoing and the Police Department's internal investigation found he didn't violate any procedures.
The officer, Jason Andersen, claimed Lee had a gun, although he said he never directly pointed it at him. The gun, a Russian-made Baikal .380, was found 2 feet from Lee's body after he was shot nine times.
But new evidence filed Monday in a lawsuit brought by Lee's family against Andersen and the city of Minneapolis suggests that the gun had been in police possession, not Lee's, for nearly two years before the shooting. A Police Department report provided to Judge Paul Magnuson showed the gun found near Lee's body was the same gun recovered from a burglary in north Minneapolis in 2004, inventoried and kept in the department's property room since the burglary.
In alleging the gun was planted, the filing says that when the Police Department discovered the origin of the gun, it issued a new supplemental report "trying to intimate" the gun recovered in 2004 and registered to the person who was burglarized might now not be the same gun. In 2004, police ran the gun's serial number and verified it belonged to the burglary victim, but never returned it to him, according to the document filed Monday.
In a joint statement, counsel for Lee's family, Richard Hechter and Michael Padden, said, "considering the evidence that has been discovered to date, these facts are not surprising at all.'' The lawsuit is scheduled for trial in May.
Sgt. Jesse Garcia, spokesman for the Police Department, said, "Lawsuits like this take away from the fact that officer Andersen used good tactics and excellent officer survival skills to prevent the loss of his or his partner's life."
"This is yet another unfortunate example of what happens when people confront an officer with deadly force and an officer is forced to take action," he said.
Lee's death on July 22, 2006, triggered protests by the Hmong community. Police alleged that Lee was with a group of people exchanging drugs outside Cityview Elementary School in north Minneapolis. Andersen and state trooper Craig Benz drove up to the scene and gave chase, both saying they saw a gun in Lee's hand.
In his statement to police, Andersen said he yelled at Lee several times to put down the gun before he was shot. An outdoor security camera at the school caught much of the chase, but not the shooting.
The suit alleges that all witness accounts and the videotape prove Lee was never a threat to Andersen. Lee and his friends biked to the playground after a family barbecue. Several witnesses said they didn't see the group doing anything suspicious.
In Andersen's deposition for the suit, he said he told Benz, "We're just going to drive behind these guys and see what happens." Benz said he didn't recall seeing any illegal activity. Their squad hit the back of Lee's bicycle and he fled.
Andersen said Lee had a gun in his right hand. A video expert reviewed the tape and determined Lee never had a gun in his right hand during the chase. The gun found near Lee's body was several feet from his left hand. An expert for the city analyzed the gun and found no finger or palm prints, oils, DNA, fibers or any other trace element that could be linked to Lee. There were no bullets in the chamber, the suit said.
None of the friends who were with Lee at the school the day he was shot or any neighbors who witnessed the shooting were interviewed by the city for its internal investigation, the suit said.
The court filing also raised a concern that the police officer involved in the 2004 burglary investigation was the first officer on the scene of Lee's shooting.
In his deposition, Andersen said he first shot at Lee when he began to pivot. A few seconds later he shot again, hitting Lee at least three times. Now on his back, Andersen said, he shot Lee five more times because he saw Lee move with the gun in his right hand.
Attorney Fred Bruno, who represented Andersen during the criminal investigation, said the shooting was thoroughly investigated and there was never a mention of a gun being planted.
"This is a figment of somebody's greedy imagination," he said.

Student Engagement
Dr. Kennedy shared the concerns of his colleagues in higher education in the 1960s regarding the rising tide of student demonstrations, sparked by a new generation that demanded to be heard on matters ranging from dress codes to foreign policy. Cal Poly, although historically a fairly conservative campus, was no exception to this phenomenon.
Tolerance plus participation
Kennedy's tolerant but firm stance, together with increased student participation in governance, were responsible in large part for keeping the peace on the Cal Poly campus during this volatile time.
Throughout his career at Cal Poly he was a very popular and engaging educator, a leader, tirelessly dedicated to the students and their success.
Next: Retirement/Emeritus
1980 - 2010: Kennedy continues campus involvement.
