How Safe is Your Identity & Financial Information?
We've compiled some information and resources to help you be aware of the rise in threats to your personal and financial information.
Be Aware of Scam Artists!
Identity theft and the fraudulent activity associated with it is on the rise in our area and across the country. Scam artists are posing as governmental officials, tax collectors, and financial institutions to trick you into revealing your personal information. Please be advised that some of these scam artists may already have a portion of your member number, account number, social security number, or credit card number and may ask you to complete the information.
"Phishing" is the attempt by scam artists to acquire personal and financial information such as passwords, social security numbers, account or credit card information, by posing as a trustworthy person or business. Most are sent via email or instant message nowadays, but may also come by mail, fax, or telephone. Don't fall victim to a "Phishing" trap!
Remember: RGHEFCU will never contact you and ask you to reveal account or personal information. Do not give your member number or personal information to anyone unless you were the one who initially contacted them
Tips on Keeping your Personal & Financial Safe and Secure
Be up to date on the latest identity theft scams.
Keep all your account numbers, PIN's, and passwords secure.
Never disclose any personal information via the telephone, including social security numbers, your mother's maiden name, or account number if you did not initiate the call.
Do not open any email attachments from people or companies that you do not know or are unfamiliar with.
Delete any suspicious email without opening attachments.
If you receive emails or messages requesting personal or financial information, even if it says it's from a company you've heard of, do not reply or click to follow any of the links. Instead, try to call the company directly to see if it was really them or type in their website address manually in your web browser. Email is not a secure method of transmitting sensitive and personal information, and scam artists can put fake links to legitimate-looking websites in emails to try to fool you into disclosing your information.
Be suspicious of entering personal information into a pop-up window, even if it may look official.
Review all statements in a timely fashion to check for any unauthorized charges. Contact us if you suspect your RGHEFCU account has fraudulent activity.
Be aware of the privacy policies with any companies or institutions you do business or are associated with to understand how they store and use the personal information they collect from you.
If you suspect the IRS may be trying to contact you, call them at 1-800-829-1040. If you receive something that is supposedly from the IRS requesting more personal information in order for you to receive your tax refund, this is an identity theft attempt. Please visit http://www.ic3.gov to file a complaint.
If you have received an email supposedly from Rapides General Hospital Employees Federal Credit Union requesting personal information, please forward it to firstname.lastname@example.com and give us a call @ (318)473-3330. Do not respond to the email!
Phishing Warning
There have been multiple e-mail fraud attempts that target credit union members all across the country. The email message claims to be originating from a national credit union organization, like CUNA or NCUA, and directs the recipient to click on a link to verify their credit union account registration. The member is then directed to a false website where they are asked for their credit union account number and PIN, along with other personal information. If you receive a suspicious email claiming to be from Rapides General Hospital Employees Federal Union, do not respond to that email. Instead call us at (318)473-3330 and forward the message to firstname.lastname@example.com.
RGHEFCU will never ask our members to provide any account information without providing a way to directly contact an RGHEFCU representative. Never send personal information such as PIN's, passwords, account numbers or social security numbers via email.
For more information about the national credit union organizations mentioned, please visit http://www.cuna.org or http://www.ncua.gov.
Email Scam
Another common scam sent via email is one from someone unfamiliar to you explaining a company is selling art in other countries and needs assistance in cashing checks drawn on U.S. financial institutions or that some rich person in another country has passed died tragically and has no heirs so they would like your help in cashing a check to settle the estate. The scam works like this: a person receives a check in the mail, deposits or cashes the item, keeps a percentage (usually 10% as payment for their assistance), and wires the balance out of the country to an unfamiliar company or person. By the time the items are returned fraudulent or counterfeit, the money is out of the country, the deposit item is reversed from the defrauded individual's account, and they now are out all of the money including their percentage. Since the item is fraudulent and the company which provided the items is unknown, there is no way to pursue collections. If you receive an email with this request delete it immediately and do not respond to it.
Never accept money orders or cashiers checks from individuals that you do not know personally and cannot personally pursue for your funds if the deposit is reversed. There is a significant amount of fraudulent transactions occurring that involve forged documents. These items look just like the real thing though they are not. Please be aware that the risk of loss is to the individual that signs the item. Be sure to read the disclosure on the back of the item above the signature line.
*Please take care when contacting us via email. Email is not a secure method of contact and should not be used to send sensitive information such as your member number, Social Security number, or PIN.
Tips for Recognizing and Avoiding Fake Check Scams
If someone you don't know wants to pay you by check but wants you to wire some of the money back, beware! It's a scam that could cost you thousands of dollars.

Hands on: Sagem Puma Phone review
9th Apr 2010 | 15:55
Budget phone powered by the sun - and a big cat
Hands on with the Puma Phone
We recently managed to snag some quality time with the soon-to-be-released Puma Phone to see if sports branding could actually co-exist with a decent handset.
The first thing we noticed about this phone is that it actually seems pretty well put together - a compact handset that sits nicely in the palm.
The polished black plastic doesn't feel too cheap (although we're not sure it matches the mooted £300 price tag) and we like the styling of the three simple buttons on the front with red finish.
There's a 2.8-inch resistive QVGA screen on the front, which again is a little low budget for our tastes, and does suffer from accuracy issues at times.
On the back we see some pretty cool extras - a 3.2MP camera with LED flash and a solar panel to help keep the battery topped up.
Sadly, it's not able to keep the phone fully charged (especially not in the UK with our seven seconds of sunshine per year), and is to be used more as a back up, but it's still a nice and eco-friendly addition.
There's a microUSB slot as well as a microSD card port on the phone, and a forward-facing VGA camera for video conferencing.
But it's not the hardware that's the major selling point on the Puma Phone, it's more about the quirky firmware and UI underneath.
The main premise is pretty simple - one screen at the centre offers links to user-defined shortcuts, to the left is the 'sportier' style things like run tracking and to the right holds the more obvious phone functions like multimedia and the browser.
The UI runs pretty smoothly under the finger - it suffers from the slight 'resistive screen' lag that pervades all phones but generally swiping left and right is an acceptable experience.
Pressing icons is nice and accurate as well - you once again have to be pretty forceful, but at least the pressure you need to exert is consistent throughout.
We like the little triangle in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, which when 'pulled up/scrolled back' will open a contextual menu of options to play with.
You can also pull down the top of the screen to reveal a whole bunch of new information - from memory card space to music to Bluetooth connectivity.
The making of Puma World
Puma World is a big part of the experience - we spoke with Jérôme Nadel, executive vice president of marketing and user experience at Sagem, and he told us that while the phone was an important device, it was only one 'layer'.
Accessing Puma World gives information from Twitter, Facebook and also throws in the option to enter the Puma Store and buy specific items from the brand, with things like sportswear as well as accessories for the phone.
We're not totally sold on the concept at this moment in time, as it takes a while to 'move into the cloud' when firing it up - but we'll wait for our full review unit to see whether this is a genuinely useful extra layer.
Other things are a little patchier on the Puma Phone - messaging for example is a bit poor.
Both in portrait and landscape mode the phone seemed to struggle with accuracy - it took a number of attempts to even tap in a word at full speed.
We also struggled to use the web browser compared to other phones - despite being built on the WebKit framework (used on the Android phones and Apple's iPhone) it was slow to operate and a little fiddly.
But the Puma-specific functions seemed pretty cool: the ability to track your runs or bike rides and then upload the data to a server is just the sort of thing we'd be looking for from a phone like this.
And there are things like the large and rolling compass, which makes use of the accelerometer and the internal magnetic device to show off a pretty cool application.
We sadly didn't get to try out the fitness stuff in our early hands on (we would have looked odd running round the room in a swanky club - especially with no GPS to track us) but we're looking forward to such when we get our full review unit.
Another nice touch is the ability to see how much power the solar panel has managed to shove into the phone, and what this has been converted too, be it messages, music played or just general use.
This phone is built on Java, making it an easy device to create and make as a first effort - the good news is that the next iteration is apparently going to be based on Android, according to Nadel, as is most of the future range from Sagem.
We're not sure whether this phone will actually be that useful or just a general gimmick with the solar panel and large sporting focus as a portal to show off Puma - we've had our fingers burned slightly by the likes of the Adidas/Samsung SGH-F110 miCoach sports phone in the past.

Voting day nears
The mid-term elections will be here in little over a month, but you still have time to register to vote if you haven't. This week's Sunday Focus feature takes a look at the local elections and come recent complaints made about the process. (September 28, 2014, Page http://oxfordeagle.ms.newsmemory.com/?selDate=20140928&goTo=a1)
Let's have a debate
"Our View" acknowledges that most incumbents avoid debates, but urges Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran to choose to be different and schedule at least one debate with Democratic opponent Travis Childers before November's election. (September 9, 2014, Page 4)
Voters should have two fine candidates in November
News Editor Jonathan Scott takes a look at the still-contested Republican Senate primary runoff race between incumbent Thad Cochran and challenge Chris McDaniel and how it was affected by traditional Democratic voters to set the stage for an expected November meeting of two moderate candidates in Cochran and Democrat nominee Travis Childers. (July 3, 2014, Page 4)
Letters to the Editor
Ray Garrett writes to say that November's election to decide Mississippi's U.S. Senate spot currently held by Thad Cochran will be a choice between political and party ideology and not between the candidates. (July 2, 2014, Page 4)
Letters to the Editor
Harley Garrett writes about the upcoming Republican senate primary runoff between Thad Cochran and Chris McDaniel, giving his take on the candidates and their campaigns. (June 12, 2014, Page 4A)
Likely runoff could be something positive
Perhaps we all owe Thomas Carey a "vote" of gratitude. It was Carey who apparently received just enough votes to force Thad Cochran and Chris McDaniel into a two-man runoff for the GOP Senate nomination. Editor Don Whitten takes a look at the possibilities for a clean campaign over the next three weeks to help decide the best candidate to face Travis Childers in November. (June 4, 2014, Page 4)
Parties gear up for primary elections
Local circuit court and chancery judges qualify for 2014 election while U.S. Senate and House races get ready for June primary. (April 30, 2014, Page 1, 16)
Runoff election to decide transit position
While State Rep. Warner McBride took the majority of Lafayette County's votes in Tuesday's special election, it wasn't enough to push him into a runoff for the seat of Northern District Transportation Commissioner.
Of the 1,718 votes cast locally Tuesday, Warner earned 937 votes. However, when the votes were counted from all the other counties in the district, it was candidates John Caldwell of DeSoto County and Mike Tagert of Starkville who both won 21 percent of the total votes, pushing them into a runoff election on Feb. 1 (January 12, 2011, Page 1A)
Local news tops priority list for stories
Some Oxford EAGLE readers aren't happy when the paper has "too much" local news and not enough state and national news because The EAGLE is the only paper they subscribe to. Others are bothered because of the amount of Associated Press content because they buy The EAGLE to get local news. Editor Don Whitten tries to give a little insight into the daily decisions made by your community newspaper. (November 15, 2010, Page 4A)
Regardless of reason, political colors change
Red state? Or Blue? Or perhaps it's really purple. Editor Don Whitten takes a look at the recent midterm elections and the changes made in Mississippi and around the country. The only constant is change and that's something those who run for office must be aware of. (November 12, 2010, Page 4A)

Simulation of surge effect in supply chain for demand uncertainty at the end customer.
The main objective of supply chain management is to provide a high velocity flow of high quality relevant in formation that will enable suppliers and manufacturers to provide an uninterrupted and precisely time flow of materials to customers.
The complex and dynamic interactions between supply chain entities lead to considerable uncertainty in planning. Uncertainty tends to propagate up and down the supply chain and this affects performance of the supply chain(Ref-1).. The uncertainty demand or inaccurate forecasts are causes up and down the supply chain and undergoes with surge or bullwhip effect.
The Bullwhip Effect is problematic: order variability increases as orders propagate along the supply chain. The Bullwhip Effect has been documented as a significant problem in an experimental, managerial, as well as in a wide variety of companies and industries. Many proposed strategies for mitigating the Bullwhip Effect have a history of successful application (Ref-2).
A surge in demand depletes inventory, quality problems, higher raw material costs, overtime expenses and shipping costs. In the worst-case scenario, customer service goes down, lead times lengthen, sales are lost, costs go up and capacity is adjusted. An important element to operating a smooth flowing supply chain is to mitigate and preferably eliminate the bullwhip effect.
Companies can effectively counteract the bullwhip effect by thoroughly understanding its underlying causes. Industry leaders are implementing innovative strategies that pose new challenges such as integrating new information systems, defining new organizational relationships, and implementing new incentive and measurement systems (Ref-3).
In this paper the demand is assumed as a random variable and the distribution of the demand assumed as normal distribution. Monte Carlo simulation method and Excel software is used to simulate the surge effect. The surge effect is simulated for five stages of supply chain by assuming the demand is sudden rising and sudden falling to the limits of the normal distribution. The mean value plus 0.67 std or 1 std or 2 std or 3 std is taken as sudden rise to the demand and mean value minus 0.67 std or 1 std or 2 std or 3 std is taken as sudden fall to the demand. From the results it can be found that for lower fluctuation of the demand, the variability of the demand is small that will not give any significant effect on the performance of the supply chain. But for larger demand fluctuations the variability of the demand is very large (identified at the limit of 3 std) that will significantly effect on the performance of the supply chain.
Surge Effect or Bullwhip Effect
The surge effect or bullwhip effect describes the phenomenon that the variation of demand increases up the supply chain from end customer to supplier. This effect leads to inefficiencies in supply chains, since it increases the cost for logistics and lowers its competitive ability. Particularly, the bullwhip effect negatively affects a supply chain in dimensioning of capacities, variation of demand and high level of safety stock.
Normal Distribution of the Demand:
The normal distribution describes many random phenomena that occur in every day life, including demand fluctuations, test scores, weights, heights, and many others. The probability density function of the normal distribution is defined as
F(x) = 1/[square root of (2[[PI][[sigma].sup.2])] e -[alpha]< x < [alpha]
Where [mu] is the mean of demand and [sigma] is standard deviation
In fig-1 the graph shows the normal F(x) and is symmetrical around the mean value [mu]. The cumulative distribution of the random variable cannot be determined in a closed form. So that normal tables have been prepared for this purpose. These tables apply to the standard normal for which the mean is zero and variance is 1. Any random variable x with mean [mu] and [sigma] standard deviation can be converted to a standard normal z by using the transformation z =(x-[mu])/[sigma].The limits under normal distribution curve are taken for 50% of the spread of the demand as [+ or -] 0.67[sigma], for 68.3% of the spread of the demand as [+ or -] [sigma], for 95.5% of the spread of the demand as [+ or -]2[sigma] and for 99.7% of the spread of the demand as [+ or -]3[sigma].
The dynamics of inventory management can be under stand by considering effect of demand fluctuations on the desirable level of stock in all stages in supply chain. A typical supply chain as shown in fig-2, which consist of five stages such as suppliers, factory, distributors, wholesalers and retailers. The retailers receive the demand of end customers. At all the stores of different stages must hold some stock of items to compensate the variation of lead times, demand fluctuations and for other disturbances for smooth running of the supply chain. If the mean demand at the customers is D and if the policy for reserve stock specifies that a portion r should be held, then rD is the safety stock for finished products at the retailer's stores. If there is a sudden change in demand, it may be sudden rise or sudden fall of the demand at customers, so that D (1+x) quantities of products are needed at the retailers, the reserve stock now should be rD(1+x). where x is % of sudden rise or sudden fall of the demand. Here x is considered as x = (maximum or minimum limit of normal distribution of the demand--mean demand) X 100/ mean demand. The following results are derived for all stages from retailers to suppliers through supply chain (Ref4).
Mean Demand at End Customers = D Stage 1 Retailer: Output required = D(1+x) Safety stock required = rD(1+x)
Stage 2 Wholesalers: Output required = D (1+x) for the final stage + (rD(1+x)--rD) for the Safety stock at the final stage = D (1+x(1+r)) Safety stock required = rD(1+x(1+r))
Stage 3 Distributors: Output required = D(1+x(1+r))for the 2 stage + (rD(1+x(1+r)) - rD) for the safety stock at the 2 stage = D(1+x[(1+r).sup.2]) Safety stock required = rD(1+x[(1+r).sup.2])
Stage 4 Factories: Output required = D(1+x[(1+r).sup.2])for the 3 stage + (rD(1+x[(1+r).sup.2])- rD) for the safety stock at the 3 stage = D(1+x[(1+r).sup.3]) Safety stock required = rD(1+x[(1+r).sup.3])
Stage 5 Suppliers: Output required = D(1+x[(1+r).sup.3])for the 4 stage + (rD(1+x[(1+r).sup.3])- rD) for the safety stock at the 4 stage = D(1+x[(1+r).sup.4]) Safety stock required = rD(1+x[(1+r).sup.4])
And so on. It can be shown in generally that the output required at the nth stage is [D.sub.n] then
Dn/D = 1+x[(1+r).sup.n-1]
From which it is evident that [D.sub.n] will increase with policy r, the impulse x and with the number of stages n. the x and n are dictated by outside circumstances, where as r is an expression of inventory policy. Obviously, the smaller the reserve stock, the smaller the effects of fluctuations caused by this chain reaction along the supply chain.
Simulation of Surge Effect in Supply Chain
The simulation is defined as the process of creating representative model (usually by using computers) of an existing system or proposed system (in this case, surge effect in supply chain)) in order to identify and understand the factors that controlling the system. Any system that quantitatively described using equations and rules can be simulated. Here a simulation model has been prepared for variability of the demand through the supply chain by Monte Carlo simulation method and Ms-Excel software for uncertainty demand.
The demand at the end customer is assumed as random variable and distributed as continuous normal distributed pattern. In simulation process mean of demand is assumed as 500 units and standard deviation [sigma] is assumed as 25 units. The demand is calculated for the normal distribution limits such as [+ or -] 3[sigma], [+ or -] 2[sigma][+ or -], 1[sigma][+ or -], and 0.67[sigma] and cumulative probabilities are taken from normal distribution tables to the Z values such as -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 and 3 (Ref-3). All these values are tabulated in the table -1. A graph has been plotted for calculated values of demand and cumulative values of probability distribution values as shown in fig-3.
The Monte Carlo simulation method is used to simulate the demand for various random numbers. The 20 random numbers are generated by using Excel with command Rand(). These 20 random numbers are considered as the probability of occurrence of the demand for 20 months. The value of demands for 20 months are taken from graph (From fig-3) for corresponding random numbers and tabulated in table--2. The mean and standard deviation are calculated for demands of 20.
Five-stage supply chain is considered as shown in fog-2 to simulate the surge effect in supply chain for impulse of the demand. The five stages are suppliers, factory, distributors, wholesalers and retailers. The end customers received the products from the retailers. The suppliers supply raw materials to the factory; the factory produces the products and supply to the distributors. The distributors act as reservoirs to the products and distribute to the wholesalers, when they ordered and wholesalers distributes the retailers according to their requirements.
Here the demand is considered as two different cases for the limits of o.67std, 1std, 2std, 3std of the normal distribution curve. In the first case sudden raise of the demand is considered from mean to upper limit and x is calculated in terms of percentage. For example the x is the % sudden rise of the demand for 1 std upper limit is calculated as x = 1 std/ mean demand. Similarly x in terms of percentage is calculated for all limits of the demand. In the second case the demand is assumed as sudden falling and x in terms of percentage is calculated in the same way to the lower limit. Here the policy decision r in terms percentage is also is used to determine quantity. The policy decisions depends upon the supply chain management decisions. By using this x in terms percentage and policy decision r in terms of percentage the quantity required at various stages through supply chain from downstream to upstream is calculated. The results are tabulated in table-3 and a graph is drawn as shown in fig-4 for the policy decision r=20%.and sudden rise of the x. And for sudden fall of x and for r=20% the results are tabulated in table-4 and a graph is drawn as shown in fig-5.
Besides using the x in terms percentage and policy decision r in terms of percentage the safety stock required at various stages through supply chain from downstream to upstream is also calculated. The results for policy decisions r=20% and for sudden rise and sudden fall to x are tabulated in table-5, table-6 and graphs are shown in fig-6 and fig-7. Comparison of quantity required and safety stock at stages through supply chain from downstream to upstream for 3 std limit of rising of the demand and inventory policy r=60% is given in table-7 and a graph shown in fig-8. From this, for higher inventory policy and for higher rising of demand safety stock required more and it also crossed from mean demand.
The surge effect in supply chain is simulated for uncertainty demand. The demand of the end customer is assumed as random demand of continuous normal distribution. From the simulation results it is found that the quantity required at the stages through the supply chain from down stream to upstream is increased for the sudden rise of the demand of the end customers and decreased for the sudden fall of the demand of the end customers.
Safety stock also at the stages through the supply chain from downstream to upstream is increased for sudden rise of the demand and decreased for sudden fall of the demand.
At higher policy decision r and high sudden rise of the demand (3 Std) the safety stock required at supplier is more than the mean demand of the end customer.

Weston clears waivers, will go on IR this season
|08.24.10 at 5:51 pm ET
The Patriots announced Tuesday afternoon that rookie defensive lineman Kade Weston had cleared waivers and would be placed on the Patriots' injured reserve list for the 2010 season.
A seventh-round pick of the Patriots out of the University of Georgia, Weston has struggled to stay on the field since he was drafted this past spring ' the 6-foot-5, 315-pounder had a problem reporting to Foxboro because of a work visa issue (he was born in Trinidad & Tobago), and when he did arrive, he opened camp on the physically unable to perform list.
Weston had 78 career tackles and four sacks in his collegiate career with the Bulldogs, with his finest season coming as a senior when he started nine games and finished with 28 tackles and two sacks.

So what can Couples Counseling Seattle do to provide Your Relation a New Lease of Life?
Today' h generation has less patience plus starts feeling a lack of excitement be it a new office, new work, plus new people. Same happens with a partner or even spouse. Some of the married couples reach a saturation point after some time and start in order to feel that the relationship is being dragged plus struggle every day to save his or her relationship but sometimes finds it impossible to accomplish anything to save it. They begin comparing their present life with bachelor life. It is heart aching for many individuals who work honestly to save their relationship but they cannot achieve this. Divorce can be a medium of such solution for some couples but includes side effects of all types and especially in case children are involved they may feel dejected, abandoned and torn apart. This kind of situation demands taking help from a qualified marriage counselor. The sole purpose of a marriage counselor is to help you in seeking the root cause of the problem, with the help of his expertise and experience. Most prevalent problem is the communication gap between couples which increases as time passes simply by.
Many couples avoid going to a marriage counselor due to ignorance, ego, or lack of finances to afford it, but the truth is that will couples counseling Seattle can deliver wonderful results. But a study shows that counseling can make a huge difference to the relationship. The counselor devotes his or her equivalent time and attention to both the partners. They can even work with the same zeal and devotion, effectively if one of the particular partners is not ready for the guidance. A good marriage counselor encourages the two of you to talk freely about your hopes, concerns, how you can improve your intimacy and affection and find out the solutions to save your relationship in a healthy way.
Marriage counselors may also be well versed in other aspects of counseling such as Mindfulness Counseling and therapy, Anxiety & Depression Counseling, Pornography or Sex Addiction, Group therapy plus family therapy along with couples guidance Seattle. But before approaching to a counselor you should clarify whether he or she is a licensed therapist with years of experience. Another thing that matters is the location plus distance. Always choose a therapist that is near to your location because possibly you will have to visit him or her often , if they are located far from your location you may wish to avoid frequent visiting. This will not do any good in your efforts to save your relationship. Partners therapists can the resources and solutions you have to improve your relationships. They can give you a brand new insight to look things with another prospect. Your consultant will work as a bridge to fill the particular gap between your effective connections.

Like they came right out the Counselor Factory or something like that. Each of them have a different type of assessing along with a different delivery according to the amount, existence experience and personas. How come people always employ the worn-out retort, "We attempted marriage counseling. It did not work."? Can individuals with that much cla of understanding be likely to weather a long term commitment that naturally challenges their persistence?
Like… Marriage, associations, family, and existence advisors.
The number of many years of school will they study?
Every other random details are welcome.

Climate change will reduce crop yields sooner than believed
Researchers have shown that global warming of only 2 degree Celsius will be detrimental to crops in temperate and tropical regions, with reduced yields after 2030s.
Professor Andy Challinor, from the School of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds and lead author of the study, said that their research shows that crop yields will be negatively affected by climate change much earlier than expected.
He said that the impact of climate change on crops will vary both from year-to-year and from place-to-place - with the variability becoming greater as the weather becomes increasingly erratic.
Due to increased interest in climate change research, the new study was able to create the largest dataset to date on crop responses, with more than double the number of studies that were available for researchers to analyse for the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report in 2007.
In the Fourth Assessment Report, scientists had reported that regions of the world with temperate climates, such as Europe and most of North America, could withstand a couple of degrees of warming without a noticeable effect on harvests, or possibly even benefit from a bumper crop.
"As more data have become available, we've seen a shift in consensus, telling us that the impacts of climate change in temperate regions will happen sooner rather than later," said Professor Challinor.
The researchers state that we will see, on average, an increasingly negative impact of climate change on crop yields from the 2030s onwards. The impact will be greatest in the second half of the century, when decreases of over 25 per cent will become increasingly common.
The study has been published in the journal Nature Climate Change.

"Well, well, well … isn't that my favourite Vampire Hunter !" She said with a smirk. "Yet i had heard you were dead, how come i meet you here ?"
"I was not really dead … despite what everyone though … i was … you know what it's none of your business, leave me alone, i'm not in the mood to talk to you"
"I'm surprised you haven't tried to kill me yet" she added on a mocking tone.
Dean was not responding and his silent made Katherine face change radicaly.
"Something's wrong … what happened to you" she whispered in his ear. She had always enjoy playing with Dean, making him mad, but she had also always cared about him somehow.

It had been a year since Dean and Caroline had seen each other, and just the sight of her made his heart warm. "Dean ?" she answered puzzled. "What are you doing here ? I mean we must be miles away from Mystic Falls ?" he asked as he walked towards her. "I, … I decided i needed a change of scenery, so … here i am …" she said with a weak voice.

Walked into the room you know you made my eyes burn
It was like, James Dean - for sure
Big dreams
Said you had to leave to start your life over
I was like - "no please" stay here
But when you walked out that door- a piece of me died
I told you I wanted more-but that not what I had in mind

The world knows how to stop and celebrate. Every year, we see award shows like the Grammys, the Oscars, the Emmys, the People's Choice Awards, and many more. They all take time to reflect back on the year and reward those who have done an exceptional job. As Christians, however, I don't think we are very good at stopping and celebrating. We rush off to the next event or program, and fail to stop and thank God for what He has done. That is why we held the recent Master's Foundation 30th Anniversary Banquet.
On Saturday, March 28, over 100 people met at the Trident Banquet Hall to stop and celebrate what God has done through the Master's Foundation in the past 30 years of ministry in Ukraine. The founders, Stan and Henry Watrich, were quick to give God all the glory for what He has accomplished. Continue Reading
It all began in 1983, with Stan and Henry Watrich, third generation Ukrainians born and raised in Western Canada. The Watrichs were missionaries at heart and God placed within them a love and compassion for Eastern Europe.
The ministry began with the printing of many Christian publications in Ukrainian and English that were distributed in Ukraine and Canada. These publications were a first for Ukraine and even today are still in great demand. One major, personal project was the translation and printing of over one million copies of a 48 page gospel booklet distributed into Poland. Many other publications in Eastern Europe stand as a testimony to their labours. Continue Reading

German is a major world language spoken in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, as well as in some communities in the United States. Whether you are interested in literature, music, theater, film, or art, German culture is a rich and exciting tradition. Temple's German program provides broad linguistic, cultural, and practical experiences to prepare students to participate meaningfully in the German-speaking world.
The German major and minor help students achieve their learning goals, whether they want to go on to use German to communicate with friends in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland; to engage in business with German partners; to work in government or in the media; or to participate in German culture. They develop skills in reading, writing, and oral communication while acquiring a rich understanding of the literature, cinema, history and culture of the German-speaking world.
Students who study German at Temple find that the program prepares them to do well in whatever they choose upon graduation; the German major is a good preparation for a career that requires analytical thinking and communication skills in general, which includes the domains of education, business, government service, travel, and tourism. It is a good major or second major for students planning to attend law school or medical school. Studies have shown that learning a foreign language helps raise scores on the LSAT, GRE, and MCAT examinations. This course of study also proves valuable to anyone who plans to work for a multinational corporation.
The German courses are often small, allowing students to get to know one another and their professors well. The program helps prepare students enrolled in the Fox School of Business and Management to acquire a special language certificate including a special course on German in the business world. Outside of class, students can share conversations and activities informally or with the University German Society. In addition, they can publish their creative work in Temple's annual literary magazine for world languages, In Other Words.

We review eight mount-finder tools.
Chief MFG (Grade: A)
Sanus Systems (Grade: A+)
Premier Mounts (Grade: A)
OmniMount (Grade: B-)
Peerless (B-)
Stands And Mounts (Grade: D+)
Top TV Mounts (Grade: C)
Monoprice (Grade: C-)
In the days of CRT and RPTV, Stands and Mounts was the place to go for stands and wall brackets (like the kind you might see in a hospital room).
While their product line has made the transition to include mounts for flat panel displays in a range of styles and prices, their mount finding tools haven't kept up.
In fact, they're nearly non-existent. While individual products have specs like weight capacity and compatible VESA mounting patterns listed, that's the extent of the compatibility checking available.
Since the Website did offer so little, I gave the listed phone number a call to see if their phone support could offer more assistance. Unfortunately, what you see on the site is all the phone reps see as well, so if you're buying from Stands and Mounts you better check compatibility on the manufacturer's website ahead of time.
The only saving grace is that most of the brands offered do have a mount finder Web app of their own.

E.J. Montini has filed an excellent blog pointing out the sickness at Mayo Hospital, where officials are pursuing the employee who leaked word of an abuse of medical ethics. But there's more to the story.
Quick background: A doctor-in-training photographed a patient's penis, tattooed with the words "Hot Rod," and shared the picture with colleagues. Someone complained to the bosses. Someone also anonymously called a Republic reporter.
In a press release, Mayo President and CEO Denis Cortese was equally disdainful of the doctor and the whistleblower. The doctor is no longer employed. Cortese vowed to uncover the whistleblower, who he asserted disclosed the patient's name. "The insult to our reputation, our patients, and our staff is the greatest outrage," he said.
He's wrong. The whistleblower did nothing to hurt patients. Had the whistleblower named the patient, that would have been as flagrant an abuse of patient privacy as the cellphone-happy doctor's actions. But editors tell me the whistleblower never mentioned the man's name. The whistleblower's concern, apparently, was that the incident might be swept under the rug.
If making sure proper action was taken amounts to an insult to Mayo's reputation, then Mayo has much more to worry about than uncovering the whistleblower.

Laying the Foundation
By Moment Palmer | Photography by Old South Studios
Posted: Wednesday, Nov. 20, 2013
Boy meets girl. They fall in love, get engaged, have a beautiful wedding and live happily ever after. The End. Of course, real life is a bit more complicated. How do you make sure when you say your vows you really mean you'll stay committed "for better or for worse" and not "for better, but if things get worse, we can always get divorced"?
Today, more couples are turning to pre-marriage counseling. While the words "counseling" and "therapy" may sound daunting and often there's a stigma associated with them, this type of counseling serves as a valuable tool for a lasting marriage.
b4ido: A seven-week investment in happily ever after
B4ido is one option for new couples who are either engaged or considering marriage to learn about different areas that they will most likely face during their relationship. Tim Cox, Family Life Pastor at Church at Charlotte and his wife, Diane, of 33 years facilitate the class and help couples create a dialogue around these issues, so that when they do come across them, they'll be more prepared to handle resolution in a healthy way. Each week a new topic is covered, with an underlying theme of communication in each session.
Tim and Diane teach people that since marriage is a key institution in our society, it's important to go into it with training and preparation. Relationships are something that everyone needs to work on and they also encourage ongoing maintenance classes or counseling for couples of all ages and all stages of marriage.
Tim's most important words of advice are, "Everything else that's valuable in life we receive training for whether it's for our education, our job or even our driver's license. It's just as important to invest in 'training' for marriage." That's exactly what he says is the "secret" to his marriage of more than 30 years investing in time for the relationship and the importance of communication. "Let yourself and your feelings be known to your partner. Talk it out and don't bottle things up, be honest even if it makes you vulnerable and even if hurts sometimes."
The next b4ido class will be offered in the spring of 2014. Visit www.b4ido.org for more details.
A Non-Religious Option
Reverend Rebecca Nagy offers premarital counseling to couples with all types of backgrounds, and is a good option for people who don't necessarily consider themselves religious and still want to build a strong foundation for their relationship.
Rev. Nagy is not affiliated with any particular church, and she's a non-denominational interfaith minister, which means she counsels to all religions, as well as none. Quite often couples receive counseling from the religious advisor of the church or institution where they will have their wedding. However, the sessions may be brief, and include an assessment inventory and skills training, but not always address topics that the couple really needs to focus on.
Her sessions consist of ten "hot topics," and she suggests that couples meet with her to cover at least the top three before the marriage ceremony. These include communication, trust, and boundaries (as well as finances). She helps couples find tools to use to communicate with each other and advocates that individuals entering into a commitment truly focus on being their authentic self with their significant other and living up to their vows before the marriage.
After the premarital counseling and on the day of your wedding, Rev. Nagy reminds couples that taking their vows and their commitment ceremony should be meaningful. It represents "what we believe, who we are, the way we want to live our lives together," optimistically until "death do us part." www.acharlotteweddingminister.com

Alice Paul, famous feminist. (via antichoiceactivist)
No. Just no.
First, Alice Paul wasn't just a "famous feminist". Alice Paul is prettymuch the reason why women in this country can vote. She is the mother of women's suffrage. She also started the National Woman's Party and took part in hunger strikes in prison in order to get the rights she knew women deserved. She also didn't care what women did with those rights once they got them. In fact, she didn't really touch the abortion issue because she knew back then it was too much of a political hot potato, and she was just as politically savvy as she was driven by an extreme passion for women's human rights.
I mention all of this because the small amount of information given about her in the reblogged post is indicative of how little the person who posted this quote probably knows about her. I bet they also don't know that Paul was the original author of the ERA, or Equal Rights Amendment. You know, that amendment that would have put women's human rights into the Constitution for good so that they wouldn't be subject to the whim of whatever attitude the congress at any given time might have toward women? That little old thing? The thing that was killed in the 80s by Phyllis Schlafly and her women-working-as-public-speakers-that-tell-women-not-to-work-brigade?
Yeah, Alice Paul wrote that.
As I said before, it is true that Alice Paul originally did not want to link abortion rights to the ERA. However, it wasn't because she was necessarily morally against it. She knew it was a divisive, hot button issue, and she actually wanted the amendment to get ratified. So, she left it out. Funny that conservative fauxminists worked to make sure the amendment Alice Paul wrote died, yet now anti-choicers (especially anti-choice fauxminists) want to quote Paul to try to make her out to be anti-abortion as well! No shame, truly. There's actually no record of Paul even saying this supposed quote. But hey, that doesn't stop those without shame or commitment to ethics from makin' shit up anyway, amirite?
So either way it goes, this supposed quote from Alice Paul doesn't prove anything, other than an anti-choice commitment to misinformation (and dismissing women's actual contributions/individuality/beliefs/humanity).
No really, anti-choicers, if you're going to try to pretend like you're not misogynists, it's probably best not to quote women out of context (or to just put words in their mouth that they never said!) as if they support your goals. Are you really that desperate?
Let's just be honest with each other (try really really hard): It's time to stop bolstering your bad arguments with a philosophy you hate anyway.
Yeah, I know I've been posting about abortion a lot, but people seem to be heaping the most bullshit onto abortion rights recently. I can't help it, I have an allergy!

Dirty South, Hook N Sling
Hook N Sling feat. Evermore – Surrender [Spinnin' Records]
Hook N Sling hits us with a progressive house banger called 'Surrender'. The haunting vocals by Evermore, a progressive build-up that keeps the melody repeating all the way through the drop and that steady repetition of piano chords that follow: 'Surrender' is a big room banger! The powerful vocals will really get everybody in the club or at festivals singing along. Sureshot!

Everyone's family can be annoying at on point or another. Maybe your brother listens in on your telephone calls, or you dad wears those goofy pants whenever you friends spend the night and you mom insists on calling your friends parents to make sure they would be home during the party. But for the most part, my family is there for me. Mentioning some guy picking on you at lunch, and my brother is all over it. Dad is always ready with a corny joke to cheer my up, and my mom always knows what to say in time of need. With the holidays coming around the corner I realized how great my family is and how thankful I am to have them by my side. Seeing that this holiday might be that last time you ever see them. I will always take advantage of having a big loving family.
Thinking about school, I think about tests and papers that might be due. I don't really think outside the box, about what education is doing for me and how no one seems to appreciate the gathering of knowledge. We are so spoiled, we don't see that we are lucky to have teachers around us and schools itself. There are so many people in the world that only hope to go to school everyday to learn the things we sleep through. We shouldn't have to be forced to go to school everyday. School should be seen as a privilege not torture.
Being thankful for my life may be the toughest to appreciate. I always have some sort of dilemma going on in my life whether it happens to be that time of the month or a horrible grade on a test. I'm always thinking about how bad my life is with my parents divorce along with hearing the complaints from each side of the fight. But, it could be worse. I know I have two parents who love me very much who provide food and a roof over my head. I know you wouldn't hear this from many teenagers but really, the divorce has helped me take responsibility in my actions and my life. It has helped me grow up a little and appreciate the hard work my parents do to keep our...

She belongs in the north, the real north.
I would rather have a half assed version of a relationship with someone who I truly enjoy spending time that might not want to marry me or even "officially call me theirs" then a marriage proposal to someone that just looks good on paper.

I might be wrong, but I think Sophie is filming a music video for Bastille. People who were at the derby filming said a music video was being filmed, and Sophie is wearing the same jacket as lead singer Dan Smith in the video for Flaws. Furthermore, the drummer for Bastille commented on the above photo that he "can't wait to see it." So yeah, that's happening. [1 2]
UPDATED: According to someome on Reddit who was at the filming and got a photo with Sophie, the video is for Oblivion by Bastille.

George Zimmerman was found not guilty in accordance with the law — thanks to a horrible law lobbyists wrote called Stand Your Ground.
This was the right decision if you agree or not. But if you say this case had nothing to do with race, then you just didn't pay attention.
Yes, the judge would not allow race to take the center stage, but this young innocent man would not have been profiled if he were not African-American.
If you can not see this for what it is, then you must think racism is dead.

FORT WORTH — Sam Wolfe was getting anxious about his horse, making him shift from one foot to the other in a stall at John Justin Arena.Im sort of familiar with Trevor, but Im a little nervous, because I wanted to ride Dunny, said Wolfe, 26, whos riding this week in the Chisholm Challenge, a competition for equestrians with disabilities.At the end of Wolfes go-round in the English equitation competition Tuesday, the Argyle man rode Trevor out of the arena holding a first-place blue ribbon and a big, custom-made Gist Silversmiths belt buckle.The pride he felt was obvious.But as one of more than 160 riders in the American Quarter Horse Association-sanctioned competition, Wolfe didnt have a lot of time to bask in the glory. He had to start preparing for the showmanship contest and, his favorite, trail riding during the final day of whats become known as the unofficial kickoff for the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo.I like trail riding, said Wolfe, who competes for the Born 2 Be Therapeutic Equestrian Center. Its basically an obstacle course, and I like obstacle courses. You have to walk over bridges, open and close a gate. They do a lot of cool things.Competitive riding is an important part of Wolfes family, said his little brother, Michael, 22.It forces us to clean up the house to make room for all the medals Sam brings home, Michael said. Chisholm Challenge is a big part of the community our family is part of, the autism community. You develop a connection with someone and an event like this is a way to come together and celebrate the growth thats brought on by equitation.Training for competitive riding has brought the world to Kolton Williams, a 13-year-old White Settlement kid whose shyness once kept him from talking to anyone outside the family. Used to, he wouldnt speak to anyone, said Kristi Williams, his mom. Now, we have to make him focus on riding practice, because he spends so much time talking to the therapists and volunteers.Therapeutic riding is rewarding even without the competition, said Williams, who said her son has Down Syndrome.It strengthens his upper body, gives him a sense of pride, lots of friends and a love for his horse, Williams said. He looks forward every week to seeing his horse.In its 11th year, the Chisholm Challenge has become the largest AQHA Equestrians with Disabilities competition in the world, said Dwayne Wheeler, the events president. This year it has drawn competitors from 12 therapeutic horseback riding centers from North Texas and, in the case of Texas Tech, from Lubbock.Wheeler said hes been involved in therapeutic riding a little over 15 years, and finds wonder in watching people who arent able to compete on the baseball diamond or the football field do well in a venue thats unattainable by many others.There are a lot of kids out there who never get to ride a horse, Wheeler said. And of those who do get to ride horses, most never get to ride competitively in the most prestigious horse show in the world, the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo.

Just remember your promise to me, OK? You and me together again, happy, healthy and more in love than ever.
I wish I had some eloquent parting words for you, but all I could think of was this: thank you. Thank you for everything you've done for me, thank you for forcing me to be the man that you've made me, just… thank you. I'm so grateful to you, Andie.
To put someone else's needs before your own because you love them means everything.
ANDIE: My knees are shaking.
PACEY: My heart, boom boom…
JEN: Maybe if you and your dad move back in there's a chance for reconciliation?
JACK: Yeah, right; us and the Middle East.
Why do you think we're so ridiculously intent on pleasing the people who dislike us the most?
