It doesn't seem bleak. Everything is fantastic (copyright by Jackson Nieuwland). Why am I excited? Uh, the Olivia Tremor Control came out with a new song after so many years of inactivity (about 12 or so, roughly 3 Presidential terms). Not only that, they've announced they are working on a new album. Don't know them still? I may need to explain.
Long ago, before there was a fully-developed blog-o-sphere, there existed a delightful collective down Athens, Georgia way called "The Elephant6 Collective". Some of the bands from that collective like "Of Montreal" and "Apples in Stereo" became better known. Most of them (The Gerbils really guys) did not gain as much attention. A few of them had critical adoration drizzled on them for they were fine, tasty pastries of sound. The Olivia Tremor Control frequently outdid everyone else, often going after positively ridiculous soundscapes. Pop songs were thrown in and the whole albums were unrealized soundtracks to trippy movies. Yep, are you excited yet?
That's why it is amazing they've returned. My ears have perked on up. When that album leaks I'll let you know. I try to keep up with the latest in album leaks, and the Olivia Tremor Control new album leak is no different. Already they've released a single in support for the still unmade album. You can listen to it here. As I listened to it I think I cried. Being re-acquainted with one of the few bands never to meet my "IPOD culling methods" is amazing. I'm getting caught up with one of my closest musical friends. Since they are touring all the coolest parts of the East Coast, you can get to meet them in real life as well.
Nothing at all can prepare me for this album. Even that teaser song has been played again and again in my mind. Welcome back Olivia Tremor Control we missed you. Don't leave us again.

This afternoon, Nick will proudly join Commissioner Amanda Fritz, Portland Public Schools (PPS), and Friends of Grant Athletics to celebrate the grand opening of the new turf athletic field and synthetic track at Grant High School!
The new track and field was 12 years in the making. Students at Grant have never had a turf field, and their track was in such poor condition that it was closed last year because of safety concerns.
Now student athletes will have a safe track and field to play on year round!
After the grand opening celebration, the Grant Generals will take on the Barlow Bears for the homecoming and first football game on the field.
This track was made possible through great partnerships, strong community support, and an understanding that when we invest in healthy bodies and healthy minds, we give our kids the greatest chance to fulfill their potential.
Special thanks to Detroit Lions Star and Grant High School graduate Ndamukong Suh, Nike, PPS, and Friends of Grant Athletics who have made this field a reality.
Go Generals!

How Apple lulls Mac owners into a false sense of security
Davey Winder says Apple's claims that Mac owners need not worry about security are dangerous
Is it any wonder that many Mac owners think they are immune from the security problems faced by PC owners? Right there on the Apple website it states that "with virtually no effort on your part, OS X defends against viruses and other malicious applications, or malware".
When security vendor ESET surveyed computer users about their perception of computer security, more than half thought PCs were either very or extremely vulnerable, whereas the figure was only 20% when it came to the Mac.
The same survey revealed that when it comes to phishing attacks, Mac users lost more money on average than PC owners did. Is Apple guilty of lulling its users into a false sense of security?
Macs not susceptible?
David Emm, the senior security researcher at Kaspersky Lab, told PC Pro that the inclusion of a signature-based scanner in OS X "represents an acknowledgement by Apple itself that the Mac is not immune to malware". Yet if you head over to Apple.com and read the Why You'll Love a Mac section it may surprise, or even sadden you, to discover some of the claims being made about how secure a Mac is.
Mac malware
Dan Clark works for security vendor ESET, and told PC Pro about a number of significant Mac malware incidents uncovered in its Labs in 2011:
"The first was the MacDefender fake antivirus product. Users would typically encounter the virus when opening an infected image found on a search engine. When the infected file was loaded, an alert would be presented warning the user that viruses were detected. If the user clicked on the alert box, the actual MacDefender malware would be downloaded. The software would then run a phony "scan" and then ask the user for money when it pretended to detect malware running on the machine.
Later in the year, ESET saw several other exploits, including Revir.A, a Chinese language PDF that attempted to drop a Trojan into a user's system; Flashback, a more serious attack that came out in September of 2011, which if installed, would disable the update features of the OS X malware defence system; and at the end of the year, DevilRobber was deployed through pirated software, which "minted" BitCoin currency, and also installed a backdoor for remote access, a screen grabber and other functions."
Take, for example, the headline which claims you can "Safeguard your data - by doing nothing" which is naïve at best, and arguably both misleading and dangerous. The reader is informed that "a Mac isn't susceptible to the thousands of viruses plaguing Windows-based computers" and goes on to suggest that this is "thanks to built-in defences in Mac OS X that keep you safe, without any work on your part". Erm, no it isn't. It's actually because Windows viruses are, obviously, coded to run on Windows and not OS X.
Another somewhat dubious claim is the one that states that "when a potential security threat arises, Apple responds quickly by providing software updates and security enhancements". Taking three years to fix a known vulnerability concerning the FinFisher remote spying Trojan, or the average of 91 days one prominent security expert discovered Apple took from first being notified of a serious security vulnerability to issuing a fix, wouldn't be what most people would regard as "quickly".
And at the end of last year when Google, Mozilla and Microsoft responded swiftly to blacklist hundreds of fraudulent SSL certificates following the DigiNotar hack, Apple lagged behind in issuing a security update to provide Safari users with the same protection, casting doubt over the Apple.com claim that "if you visit a suspicious site, Safari disables the page and displays an alert warning you about its suspect nature".
"False illusion"
Dr Wieland Alge, the general manager at security vendor Barracuda Networks warns that users are "under a false illusion if they think they are safe because it is an Apple product" adding that "the threat is very real and no longer restricted to PC users".
Indeed, as Dr Alge pointed out, the first OS X virus was discovered in 2006, and during 2011 a number of incidents were reported including a malware attack disguised as antivirus software that duped Mac users into handing over credit card details. Yes, the MacDefender scareware did require the user to be conned into installing the rogue application and Apple did, eventually, respond with a security update to warn against doing just that. However, it does rather blow apart the myth that Mac users are somehow immune from malware; especially when it adopts the social engineering route that Windows users are so often exposed to.

I've talked before about how to know if your child is ready for an AAC device and I've dispelled some common myths about AAC, but we haven't really gone into how to teach children to use AAC devices. For those of you who don't know, AAC stands for augmentative/alternative communication and AAC devices are devices that a child can use to communicate for them when their speech mechanism is not able to express all that they have to say. This may be for a child who has motor planning or muscle problems, or for a child who is a late talker, who has autism, or some other disability that impairs his ability to speak. This article is written for those who work with a child who already has a device (usually selected for them by an AAC evaluation team) and now they need to know how to teach it to the child. The company that sells you the device should be able to provide training on how the device works, so this is more general information on how to teach children to communicate effectively with AAC devices. Be prepared that this will take time and you will need to have patience and work hard!
How to Teach Children to Use AAC Devices Step One:
Decide How Your Child Will Activate the Device
This is something that the company that sells AAC devices will help you do. There are many ways for children to activate AAC devices and they will know which one is right for your child. Some children will activate the device by pushing a button with their finger. This is the most common method. However, there are children who have significant motor problems and this may not be a reliable way to use their device. For these children, you will need an alternative means to activate the device, such as a switch that when pushed will stop a light that is scanning past the buttons. When the light is stopped, it will speak whichever message it is on. Other systems have the ability to track your child's eye gaze and will speak whichever button the child looks at for a few seconds. There are other ways to activate the device as well so speak with your representative about the best method for your child.
How to Teach Children to Use AAC Devices Step Two:
Give The Child Time to Explore
Like any new toy, your child will want to explore her new device when you give it to her. This is completely OK and should be encouraged! This is how your child will learn how it works. As she explores it, show her how it works. Show her how to push buttons and make it speak. Many devices require the child to push the button she wants and then push the message window to make it speak. Show her how to do this but also allow her to explore and find out what the buttons say and which buttons are in which folders. While she's exploring, respond to the buttons she pushes as though she had said it. For example, if she pushes something that you have close by, pick it up and show it to her. Repeat the word that the device said and show her what it is. If it's something that you don't have nearby, you can say "Horse? We don't have a horse here. A horse says "Nay!".
How to Teach Children to Use AAC Devices Step Three:
Teach The Child One Button
Decide on the first button you want to teach your child. Try to choose something that is highly motivating to your child (something he really likes) and something that isn't too hard to find on his device. Hold up whatever it is (for example, bubbles) and let your child see it. If he reaches for it or makes some kind of indication that he wants it, take your child's finger and push the buttons (or use the switch or other activation) to find the correct one. Say the name of the button as you push it. For example, if your child's device has "bubbles" in the "things" folder, say "things" as you push it with his finger, then say "bubbles" as you push that button with his finger, then push the message window so it talks. Then, give your child what he has requested, in this case "bubbles". After you help your child in this way several times, see if he can do any of it on his own. If not, try giving verbal prompts like "push things" or point to the button instead of using his finger to push it. If those prompts don't work, go ahead and push it with his finger like you did before. Keep doing this every time your child wants that thing until he is able to find the button on his own. Then, pick a new button and teach it to him in the same manner. You can also teach her to request actions like hug and tickle or use social language like saying "hi" or "my turn".
How to Teach Children to Use AAC Devices Step Four:
Have Your Child Choose Between Multiple Items
Once your child is able to request one object when you hold it up, try having a few different choices in front of her. Show her all of the things you have but don't let her have any until she uses her device. If she reaches for the object instead of using her device, try to use prompts like "use your talker" and point to the device. If she still doesn't use it, you can help her like you did in the previous step. Keep working on having your child request things using her device any time she shows a desire to have something. If she points at something or takes you by the hand to get something for her, take her to her device and say "Show me on your talker. What do you want?" Then help her find it. The more you do this with children, the faster they learn AAC devices.
How to Teach Children to Use AAC Devices Step Five: Combine Words
Just as a child starts speaking by using one word at a time and then combines two together, you will eventually want your child to start using multiple button pushes to create simple sentences. You won't want to work on this until your child can use his device to functionally communicate a lot of one-word utterances. When you're ready to help him start combining words, model this for him by creating two-word combinations when you speak to him. You can also expand on what he pushes by creating a two-word combination using the button he pushed. For example, you could ask your child "want cookie?" and push the buttons "want" and "cookie" while you do it. Then, when your child pushes "cookie", show him how to push both "want" and "cookie" to create the combination. After showing your child how to do this several times, you can help him do it by using the method described in step three. You can continue using your child's device in this manner to teach him how to create other combinations all the way up through complete sentences. Keep in mind that it may take years before your child is able to produce full sentences with his device, but it's something to keep in mind as the future of what you will be able to use it for.
Input From a Reader: Don't Forget Modeling!
I just received this comment from a reader. Her message highlights a very important aspect of teaching AAC that I have missed in this article: keeping it natural. She talks about the importance of modeling and integrating the AAC device into a more natural setting. The steps I have listed above work great in a therapy setting to increase a child's knowledge of how to use the device, but I LOVE what she has to say about keeping it natural as well. The approach she describes will be great for helping a child actually use it functionally and helping a family learn to make it a part of the natural routine. Amazing stuff here, take a look:
"I like step one and I like that step two emphasises the importance of child led exploration of the device and being there to respond naturally to the varied things they might say whilst exploring – this for me would be part of the Opportunities, Observing and Responding parts of the Opportunities for MORSE acronym for aided language stimulation.
For me though something critically important in successful teaching and learning of AAC devices is missing from these steps, the most important thing in my opinion. I do think that modelling must be highlighted as so, so, so very important, perhaps the most important thing any family can do. Model, model, model the child's device every day, as many times as possible, in natural, real situations, to say real things to real people. Aided Language Input, Aided Language Stimulation, modelling – we can't underestimate just how important it is for AAC users to see their device used by the people they love and spend time with to communicate for real reasons. It's just so so important and to neglect it jeopardises the child's success at ever learning how to use their communication device. The stats regarding how many hours of modelling a typically developing child gets with spoken language before they begin to speak at around 18 months (4,370 waking hours!) means that if a child learning to use AAc only gets input on how to do this two times a week for 20-30 minutes at a time it will take them 84 years to have the same amount of experience with their device as an 18 month old child has with spoken language (Korsten, 2011, QIAT) so as much modelling in as a natural a situation as possible is crucial. The easier and more natural it is to model, the more likely modelling will happen so it's good to help families do this rather than worry so much about which word they must focus on first and which one next, I believe.
I think it's also really important to talk about multimodal communication and the need to respect ALL communication modes. I don't think it's wise to tell people new to supporting beginner AAC users to say things like "use your talker" or "show me on your talker" if the child / adult has already successfully communicated what they want by holding your hand, taking you to it and pointing. Such comments may cause frustration, breakdown the flow of communication and could damage the communication strategies they already have. Causing frustration for the child can lead to frustration for the families and could quickly lead to device abandonment. We all use multiple modes of communication across our daily lives. It would be more respectful in my opinion if all the child's communication attempts were recognised and validated and that the flow of communication was not disrupted by making the child communicate in another way. I think it would be better if instead of disregarding the child's communicative intent and disrupting the flow and pleasure of successful communication the adult responded to the child's communication efforts by modelling how the child could have used their device to make their point more efficiently, clearly etc. The adult could activate the symbol for the item the child has indicated seek clarification using the device by adding another word because maybe the child didn't actually want that item they brought the adult too, perhaps they just wanted to show it, or give it back, or indicate yes, I've got one too having overheard a conversation or shared a book… We can't always assume it's about indicating wants. And the more we model the different reasons for communicating over just wants the better!
I am also uncomfortable with steps four and five being so focused on requesting and no mention of other reasons for communicating as well as being very test oriented, setting up choice making situations and making the child 'perform' before introducing a wider variety of choice or introducing combining of words. I think the more naturally we can encourage and support communication learning the better. We naturally expand the utterances of young babies and toddlers before they are clearly using many single words and in my experience the more we can make teaching a child learn to use their AAC system seem a natural extension of this, the more confident families will be to just start exploring rather than feeling they need to set up teaching times, the more positively and easily they will view their role in teaching their child to learn AAC.
I do think it is helpful to have go to lists like these, I just think we need to be careful not to overload families with the guilt of having to fit in more things when actually, the more natural the better most of the time. Just my thoughts however!"
I am so grateful for this other perspective on AAC. Thank you for sharing!!

Employers Give Workers Debit Cards to Access Benefit Dollars
Diana Andersen wanted to eliminate the shoebox effect. Employees at Zions Bancorporation would collect their receipts for visits to the doctor's office or for their children's day care in shoeboxes to submit for reimbursement from their flexible spending accounts. Andersen, the company's vice president and director of corporate benefits, worried that the inefficient and cumbersome process for reimbursement dissuaded employees from using flexible spending accounts.
Three years ago, Zions began offering employees debit cards so they could pay for medical or child-care expenses directly from their flexible spending accounts. The first year, enrollment went up 75 percent, Andersen says. Currently, 40 percent of Zions Bank's 8,500 employees are enrolled in flexible spending accounts, way ahead of the average 15 percent participation among companies nationwide. About 1,200 employees use FSAs for child-care expenses, and 3,000 use them to pay for trips to the doctor or pharmaceutical meds.
Zions Bank uses debit cards from a company called MBI, based in Waltham, Massachusetts. MBI offered the first Flex Convenience debit card in partnership with MasterCard in 1998. These are limited-access cards that work only with pre-approved merchants, so, for example, an employee would not be able to use an FSA debit card at a restaurant. Two other companies, Evolution Benefits Inc. and SmartFlex LLC, also offer debit cards for benefits programs.
Companies are giving employees debit cards to access funds for flexible spending accounts, health reimbursement arrangements, transportation reimbursement plans and educational assistance programs. Currently, 350,000 employees use MBI's cards--mostly for flexible spending accounts--but that number is expected to increase to more than a million by the first quarter of 2004.
Why the trend
Several forces are converging to create this projected increase in debit card usage. First, the IRS issued a ruling in May that officially sanctioned using debit cards for FSAs. Second, the IRS issued a ruling in September that allows employees to use funds from flexible spending accounts for over-the-counter medications. Third, the use of health reimbursement arrangements is increasing as conventional health plans become more expensive to fund.
Western Digital, a company that sells digital-storage products, is allowing its employees to use debit cards to purchase over-the-counter medications, in line with the IRS's September ruling. "Given the fact that increasing numbers of prescription medications are going over-the-counter, employees using these medications are paying significantly higher out-of-pocket costs, frequently four or five times the amount that they paid as a prescription co-payment when these medications were covered under their health insurance plans," says Sandie Sekely, corporate benefits manager for Western Digital.
Of the 2,000 workers that Western Digital employs, about 22 percent participate in FSAs. The company saw an increase in FSA participation this year when it introduced the convenience of paying for health-care expenses with FSA debit cards, says Sekely. While employees will be able to use those cards to purchase over-the-counter medications, they will still have to turn in receipts for those medications later. The IRS rules dictate that there must be detailed receipts so employers and third-party administrators know that the employee was buying cough medicine and not shampoo.
MBI has come up with a way around this rule. Employees can purchase medications online, through a pharmacy called Familymeds, and don't have to submit receipts because MBI can verify those transactions.
Health and transportation
Debit cards are also convenient for companies that have moved or are thinking of moving to a health reimbursement arrangement plan. Fletcher Thompson, an architectural, engineering and interior design firm in the Northeast, decided to switch to an HRA last February. Although HRAs can be structured in a number of ways, Fletcher Thompson chose an insurance plan with higher premiums to stabilize its costs. Co-pays for office visits increased from $15 to $30.
"We didn't want to pass those increases directly to employees," says Susan Pellerin, Fletcher Thompson's director of human resources, "so we gave them a specific amount of money to pay co-pays." For instance, the company gave Pellerin, a single employee, $600 on a debit card. At that rate, she could visit the doctor 20 times a year and still not pay a dime out-of-pocket. Similarly, "if employees don't use it, the company doesn't have to fund it," she says.
The debit cards work at hospitals, pharmacies and doctor's offices. "Ninety percent of the time, MBI's debit cards work well," says Pellerin, adding that there are some minor glitches, times when something might not get validated that should. Usually, these problems can be easily resolved by just sending in the receipt manually, she says.
Companies are finding that debit cards can help with transportation reimbursement plans. National-Louis University, based in Chicago, offers a transit program to employees, and so far about 49 of the 116 employees enrolled in its FSAs use debit cards to pay for bus or train fares.
Dow Jones also uses debit cards for its employee transit program. "We now have well-known household names using this product: the NFL, PGA Tour and WorldCom," says Victoria Nipple, the COO of MBI. "We have gone past the early-adopter stage," she says. "Companies are saying, if it's good enough for Dow Jones, we should take a look at this."

Rivals.com College Football - Mailbag: Texas-sized tiff over network
This gives us a mention when he discusses how "fair" the Longhorn Network is... Also makes me realize how good of a job Paul Rhoads does when he brings in recruits.
Had a conversation yesterday with a UT alum/fan. Even he thought the network is just another example of UT greed and that it was bad for the conference. If only more of their fanbase thought like that.

Looks: A pleasant surprise!
The Rage Pride surprised us with its simple yet attractive looks. Packed in a white plastic chassis with a silver metal strip running along the front panel edge, the handset has a sleek, bar-shaped body and features a large enough screen which is complemented by a smooth alphanumeric keypad.
There are individual keys for both SIMs which come painted in white to match the body. The metallic silver strip around the D-pad enhances the device's appearance and the keyboard below slims down the overall thickness. It is indeed a smart looking offering in this price range.
Hardware: Good enough
This white beauty comes with a 2.4 inch TFT display screen, which one can find in most of the recently launched models of the Rage. The device comes with the 2.0-megapixel camera with flash and a digital zoom option as well. The camera is given at the back along with loud speakers, and the back of the phone looks clean with a smooth, plane panel. There also is a short cut key to the camera. Connectivity options include GPRS (no 3G) and Bluetooth, although the phone takes time to spot other Bluetooth devices and takes time to transfer information. A 1050 mAh Li-ion battery gives a good backup.
Software: Browsing delight
Rage Pride is not a smartphone and so is lim¬ited in the software department but it offers a verysmooth Internet browsing experience. The large and bright screen is a major reason for this. One can also tweak the phone's fonts.
Multimedia: Serves music lovers
Good music is the cornerstone of most Rage devices and the Pride does not disappoint in this regard. The FM reception is fairly good and works well in low reception zones – it worked without interruption even in the Delhi Metro, while a branded smartphone's reception got distorted. Music quality on loudspeaker was loud and clear but was a little distorted on the bundled headsets. We also were disappointed by the camera, both in stills and in videos. The phone comes with Rage Treasure Box, but it offers nothing exceptional, apart from the facility to block numbers and enter a security pin. Gaming enthusiasts will be disappointed
User Experience: Not bad, could have been better
Looks aside, the Rage Pride has nothing special to offer. In terms of entertainment, while the audio support in the music category can be considered a USP, the video support will leave you craving for something better. Strangely, the camera flash light stays on even after an image is clicked. The battery gives a decent back up. However, the phone we reviewed heated up early unlike other models of Rage. It has a support for 8 GB storage with microSD card but functions relatively slow when loaded with data. One can store up to 500 entries in the phonebook and can divide them into groups.

President Obama can label the failure of the Senate to approve gun control legislation "shameful." Gun reform advocates can criticize the 45 senators who blocked a bill to expand background checks as ignoring the will of the people - since opinion polls show overwhelming support for such a change.
Those who want reasonable reforms to reduce the carnage of gun violence in this nation can do all the lamenting and excuse making they want about the failure to pass any meaningful federal legislation in the wake of the horrific shooting that left 20 children dead in Newtown. But the cold, hard political calculation is this: Until enough lawmakers fear the repercussions of doing nothing about gun safety more than they fear the National Rifle Association and other gun lobby groups, no meaningful gun reform legislation will pass.
Appealing to logic is not sufficient. Requiring someone who wants to buy a gun on the Internet or at a gun show to demonstrate they have no criminal record or history of domestic violence or serious mental health issues - just as they must now pass a background check when buying from a licensed dealer - appears so obvious as to be beyond debate. Yet 45 senators lined up to say no.
Appealing to the humanity of lawmakers is not enough. Former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, shot in the Arizona attack that left her permanently disabled and six others dead; the parents of children gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School; and many other gun-violence victims personally lobbied senators, asking them to show political courage. Forty-five senators disregarded their pleas.
Putting the power of the presidency behind gun safety legislation is not enough. President Obama personally lobbied senators, and made 13 speeches across the country in the fight for gun reform, but could not obtain what appeared the easiest goal - a universal background check law.
This battle now moves from a legislative struggle to a political fight. Those 45 senators - 41 Republicans and four Democrats from red-leaning states - made a political decision. They concluded the political damage they would suffer by not marching in lockstep with the NRA - the loss of financial support and the resources that could be brought against them - would be far greater than any harm resulting from disappointing gun reformists. The NRA spent $25 million in the last election cycle backing its candidates and destroying those who dare oppose their agenda.
And let's face it, Second Amendment advocates opposed to any additional restrictions on the ability to buy and own guns have been a more vocal, zealous and determined group. Until those who want reforms match that energy and sustain it, until voices and financial resources emerge that can challenge the supremacy of the NRA in the gun reform debate, nothing will change at the federal level.
But there are signs change could come. New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, serving out his last full year in office, will soon be in a position to devote more of his time, as well as his financial resources, to grow the lobbying group Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Other gun-reform advocacy groups are emerging. Families who have suffered losses due to gun violence, and who fought for reform, say they will not give up the fight.
This time, those kowtowing so completely to the NRA may have miscalculated. By spurning even the commonsense background check legislation worked out, in courageous fashion, by conservative Sens. Joe Manchin III, D-W.Va., and Patrick J. Toomey, R-Penn. - a proposal with 85 percent to 90 percent support in polls - these NRA apologists may experience a political backlash they never saw coming.
"To change Washington, you, the American people, are going to have to sustain some passion about this. And when necessary, you've got to send the right people to Washington," President Obama said after the Senate defeat.
We shall see.

Love In The Wild Recap: It's Getting Crowded In The Wild
June 20, 2012 11:30 AM by Melissa Stavarski
Last week on NBC's Love in the Wild, Summer took out Tim and Shauna. She chose Ryan over Tim and Ryan was Shauna's partner. Tim now regrets smashing the cake in Summer's hair, wishing he would have done it to another girl instead. Lovely. Host Jenny McCarthy sent Tim and Shauna on their way, and then she introduced six more women to the game. Sharpen your claws, Ladies. This sounds like a perfect recipe for some cat fights!
Each guy gets to choose one girl. The new trios are:
Chase, Ali, and Jenna
Ryan, Summer, and Natalie
Jesse, Tara, and Melissa
Jason, Cina, and Vanessa
Ken, Yanina, and Lindsay
Ben, Jenny, and Michelle
Jenny McCarthy breaks the news to the women – half of them will be going home at the next couples choice ceremony. The teams need to find a lantern from one of the trees. Next, a map to find their way to the amber… all while their legs are shackled with leg cuffs. Just for fun.
Jenny is prepared to sabotage the challenge because she doesn't want to share the Oasis with Michelle. During the cave part of the challenge, Jenny goes into the cave with Ben and leaves the maps. Ben figures her out right away.
Chase brought Ali into the cave because he was anxious to kiss her. He was quite disappointed when the kiss felt cold. On the other hand, Jason and Vanessa each felt some butterflies after sharing a kiss.
Despite Jenny's best efforts at sabotage, Ben, Jenny, and Michelle are the first trio to find the amber. Ken, Yanina, and Lindsay are right behind them. The last team to arrive this week is Jesse, Tara, and Melissa. Tara is disgusted. The princess does not want to sleep outside.
Mingle Time:
Jenny is whining about going to the Oasis and winning a sailboat ride. She says, "I'm being a little brat." That's an understatement.
Even with Lindsay around, Ken is still all about Yanina, which is very sweet.
Michelle and Jenny are complete opposites. Unfortunately for Jenny, Ben is more physically attracted to Michelle. Ben and Michelle bond while Jenny pouts.
Ali is playing games with the new girls. She starts by hiding their towels. Melissa tries to break the ice, but Ali continues to be childish. Chase is not impressed with Ali's games and immaturity.
Jesse and Ali connect. Jesse bursts Tara bomb. He tells her he wants to be paired with Ali. Then, shockingly, Tara confesses to "intimate relations" with Jesse. Wow.
Couple Choice Ceremony:
Ben chooses Michelle. Jenny gets sent to the unmatched circle. Ken chooses Yanina, of course. Ryan goes with the new girl Natalie, taking out Summer. Jason chooses Vanessa. They both agree that they share a mutal connection. A bitter Cina goes to the unmatched circle. Chase sticks with Ali. Jesse chooses Tara.
Taking a second look at the unmatched girls, Jenny McCarthy asks each guy if he wants to make a trade.
Ken absolutely does not want to trade. Ryan exchanges Natalie for Jenna. Chase kicks out Ali in favor of Summer. Jesse's plan is working perfectly. He takes Ali. Tara tells Jesse he's "fake as hell."
Jenny, Tara, and Cina are the original girls who have been eliminated. Of the new girls, Natalie, Lindsay, and Melissa go right back out of the Wild.
The new couples are:
Ben and Michelle
Ken and Yanina
Ryan and Jenna
Jason and Vanessa
Chase and Summer
Jesse and Ali
So many partner switches in three weeks… this show is bananas. Can't wait for next week!

"Your Health Your Choice" is a campaign to encourage students to choose to be responsible when consuming alcholic beverages. It encourages spacing alcoholic beverages with a non-alcoholic beverage, such as water or juice. This gives the body time to metabolize the alcohol already consumed, decreasing the effects on the body. This is a harm reduction approach geared towards students who choose to drink alcohol to promote responsible use.

Future Students
Physics is an enabling science that expands our knowledge of the universe and underpins new technologies that benefit our society. The School of Physics is well established and is internationally respected for its research excellence, broad-based undergraduate courses, and a challenging and rewarding postgraduate experience. Our collaborations are aligned with the world's leading research groups and facilities. We address some of the most important and fundamental problems of our age.
Our programs in astrophysics, theoretical particle and experimental particle physics explore questions relating to the origin, evolution and fate of our universe. Aligned with high energy physics programs taking place in Switzerland (CERN), the School has considerable expertise in grid computing, neutrino physics and physics beyond the 'Standard Model'. The LIGO gravitational wave detector project is designed to measure gravity waves, as yet unseen but predicted by Einstein. The MWA low frequency radio telescope is a facility currently under construction in outback Western Australia. Designed to capture signals from the early reaches of the universe, it is another tool that will increase our understanding of the universe.
The School has strengths in the exploration of matter and light interactions, particularly in advanced materials utilising diamond and silicon, quantum information science, photonics, advanced electron microscopy, nanoscale imaging, nanoelectronics, all the way down to the single atom and photon. Working closely with the Australian Synchrotron, our leading Centre for Coherent X-Ray Science employs X-Ray diffraction techniques and an interdisciplinary team of physicists, biologists and chemists to explore the structural determination of single biological molecules. Solving this problem is critical to rational drug design and biotechnology. With inter-institutional partners, the Centre for Quantum Computer Technology is building, at the atomic level, a solid-state quantum computer in silicon which will revolutionise computing industries.
It is an exciting time to be studying physics in the 21st century. If you love physics, we hope that you will consider studying at the School of Physics where we continue to attract the brightest student from the country. We have information for: students still at secondary school; students thinking of undertaking undergraduate and postgraduate studies at the School (including scholarships and information for international students); and for people interested in careers information for physicists.

Just as the Centre announced 12.36 per cent service tax to be levied on the earnings of film and TV personalities, a big protest was called by the South filmmakers
Cinema is not a permanent industry. The jobs here are not secured. Big stars earn good bucks, but others get normal salaries. How then can we afford to pay 12.36 per cent service tax when we are already paying income tax, expresses former Malayalam actress Lissy Priyadarshan.
In order to discourage the Centre and its idea of introducing service tax, Tamil entertainment industry came to a halt on January 7, following a one day fast by stake holders demanding scrapping of this tax. The Telugu and Karnataka film industry also participated in the token strike at their respective cities.
Actors like Rajinikanth, Vijay, Suriya, Sarathkumar, Prabhu, Radhika, including Lissy joined the day-long token fast called by apex bodies of film and TV actors, directors, producers, technicians, theatre owners and distributors in Chennai.
While the Centre maintained that introduction of such a tax will curb black money, Rajinikanth opined that increasing taxes would only lead to more black money.
Echos Lissy, First of all, bank refuses to give loans to the film industry people. This tax will be an additional burden on the producers. This move will rather encourage black money, further adding, The government can only charge service tax, with a guarantee that it will take care of the artists when they are not earning. It should be give and take. If we pay service tax while we earn, on our down fall, the government should guarantee us payment from their side as well.
Meanwhile, a host of personalities from film and television industry participated in the strike which began at 8 am and ended at 5 pm. All theatres in the state remained shut till 5 pm. Film and TV shooting and other allied activities remained suspended during the protest.

Examining the MRSA grievance Lawrence Tynes filed against Bucs
For more news and notes from Jason La Canfora, tune into The NFL Today Sunday at noon ET on CBS.
Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Lawrence Tynes, who remains on a medicine line to deliver antibiotics directly into his system, filed an injury grievance on Tuesday with the team, according to league and union sources. The grievance is being handled by the NFLPA and it argues that the team violated proper protocol when it placed Tynes on the Non-Football-Injury list after he was infected with the potentially-deadly MRSA bacteria during training camp.
Tynes, 35, a Pro Bowl alternate last season, will remain on the line for at least two more weeks, according to his agent, Ken Harris, and for now is receiving his paychecks. However, by placing him NFI, Tynes is not able to receiver 401k matching or annuity benefits and also is blocked from accruing a season of service towards his pension, both which have significant financial ramifications.
Carl Nicks, the Bucs top guard, also was infected by MRSA, but he remained on their roster and returned to action in Week 3. According to union sources, their grievance claims that Tynes was not cultured for MRSA by the team -- causing a delay of over two weeks between when his diagnosis was made, and treatment began -- while Nicks was placed on the correct battery of drugs right away. Furthermore, the NFLPA claims that at least three other Bucs players contacted staph infections around the time Tynes got MRSA, and the union continues to investigate whether a member of the Bucs' training staff was being treated for MRSA as players were reporting to camp.
The grievance also states, according to union sources, that head coach Greg Schiano was part of the decision-making process to put Tynes on NFI -- and thus claim that he contacted a strain of MRSA different from what Nicks got at the team facility -- and that decision led to a delay in the kicker's diagnosis and treatment and the level of care made available to him. And the grievance also notes Schiano's remarks that Tynes was doing well and recovering at a time when he was actually getting the PICC line to his heart to stave off the infection. Schiano made no attempts to contact or communicate with Tynes throughout the ordeal, according to sources with knowledge of the situation, though GM Mark Dominik did at least once.
Tynes required two procedures to attempt to scrape the infection out and clean his infected toe, and it remains unknown if or when he can resume training for football. Should his career be in jeopardy, there could be grounds for additional legal action, the union believes.
The Buccaneers declined comment for this story.

With Denis Villeneuve's new thriller "Enemy" out in theaters and available on VOD, Indiewire is offering you the chance to possibly take home an alt poster for the film, signed by the Oscar-nominated filmmaker behind "Incendies" and last year's "Prisoners."
The Toronto-set thriller centers on Adam Bell (Jake Gyllenhaal, who also starred in "Prisoners"), a university professor who, while watching a film, happens to notice that one of the actors onscreen possesses a striking resemblance to his own. Bell becomes consumed with his doppelgänger -- an actor by the name of Anthony Claire (also played by Gyllenhaal) -- and decides to seek him out. Worlds collide, and, of course, chaos ensues.
Check out the poster below. Email email@example.com with your email address and full name to enter. You must live in the U.S. to participate. The contest closes Friday, March 28.

It's that time of year...Leaf peeping season is most prevalent in North Carolina the first two weeks of November. In fact, color is showing everywhere from our western mountains to the Piedmont region. Leaf watchers are enjoying the vivid color all thanks to the clear skies and crisp weather that those areas have been receiving.
In Eastern Carolina we'll start to notice a change next week. The summer drought has extended our leaf season so we should peak right around the week of the 18th. If we get bright sunny days and cool nights leading up to our peak we could still have spectacular foliage. It's the unseasonably warm temperatures like we had last week that mutes some of the coloring, perhaps less red and more gold.
Our forecast after Thursday is calling for bright sunny days and clear crisp nights into the weekend. Great weather for our fall foliage!
-Track the progress of the changing foliage at http://www.visitnc.com/experience/no4_nc_fallcolor/home.asp
-Also recent foliage pictures are available for viewing or downloading at http://www.visitnc.com/press_room_fallcolor.asp
Here is one of the fall images from the website.

So i have posted a few times over here about bikes and what not, i went to the LBS down the street and test rode a few bikes to find a size that was good and the 18 inch bikes seems to fit well. More importantly though is that the shop carries stocks Kona and KHS in the store and can order SE, Iron Horse, K2, and Fuji. I am most interested in the 29ers. So I dont really know what to look for in that category but the less gears the better for me. Coming from a bmx then fixed gear bikes recently.
If you guys could recommend some bikes that wont break the bank from these brands that would be awesome. Or if there would be better options that would be awesome too.
Thanks guys

Interviews, presentations look back on the Feds beginnings
Interviews, presentations look back on the Feds beginnings
A meeting on Jekyll Island 100 years ago was an important milestone in the evolution of the Federal Reserve System. The meeting, which included Senator Nelson Aldrich and top bankers, resulted in a proposal—the Aldrich Plan—that was eventually used as a blueprint for the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913.
The November 2010 conference, "A Return to Jekyll: The Origins, History, and Future of the Federal Reserve," marked the centenary of this historic meeting.
In addition to the papers and presentations, the conference page also features a short video explaining the importance of the Jekyll Island meeting and the evolution of the early Fed, interviews with many of the presenters, discussants, and moderators, and summaries of the nine sessions.
You can also watch the Nov. 6 webcast featuring Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke, former chairman Alan Greenspan, and former New York Fed president and current Goldman Sachs managing director E. Gerald Corrigan. The three influential policymakers participated in a panel discussion in which they shared their insight and perspectives on the major issues and challenges the Fed faced over the past twenty-five years and how the Fed dealt with and learned from them.

Hiatt's networking requirements
Before you can join Hiatt's LinkedIn group, search alumni on CAN, or submit a Wisdom Wanted ad, you must:
1. Read and electronically sign Hiatt's social responsibility and integrity contract.
2. Watch this online workshop and answer the quiz correctly.

Getting Started
Know yourself
The first step in preparing to network is to understand who you are, and be confident in identifying your values, skills, interests and motivations.
Identify short-term and long-term goals
To make your networking encounters as beneficial as possible for both you and your networking contact, Hiatt encourages you to set both short and long-term goals for your professional relationships and individual conversations. Please know that these will change and adapt as you move forward in your career and acquire additional expertise. To get you thinking about your own networking goals, here are a few examples of both broad and specific goals and how networking can help achieve them.
Goal: Figure out what I want to do with my life.
How networking can help: Refine your interests, evaluate fit and match your values to career opportunities.
Goal: Find out if I'm qualified for a specific job/internship.
How networking can help: Talk to an employee who works at an organization of interest who can talk to you about the role and what type of candidate they seek.
Goal: Determine if I will fit in at a particular company.
How networking can help: Hear about your networking contact's personal experiences at the company, which would enhance what you can learn from a company website.
Goal: Become a more impressive interviewer.
How networking can help: A clearer perspective of the culture within an industry or organization can help you determine what skills are required and how you might best showcase those skills in an interview. Plus getting comfortable speaking to professionals during informational interviews will help you to display more confidence during a real interview.
Goal: Land a job or internship.
How networking can help: Did you know that 70% of people land their jobs through networking?
Goal: Expand my circle of professionals.
How networking can help: Networking can help you develop a network of contacts that may be helpful in the future. Meet future acquaintances, references, allies.
Goal: Become a more attractive candidate for a job/internship application.
How networking can help: Get information to put in your cover letter because you will identify skills and experiences of successful professionals. Learn industry trends and professional vocabulary from practitioners.
Goal: Decide between several career options.
How networking can help: First-hand, up-to-date, and industry-specific information will provide a more thorough understanding of a field, beyond what you may have ascertained through course work or other outside research. Plus, you'll get exposure to a variety of job titles, personalities, and departments, making the search for your "niche" that much easier.
Identify suitable contacts
Networking contacts are everywhere. Some contacts will be people you know well, such as family and friends with whom you can interact with ease – you are already networking! With others, such as alumni, former employers or family members of peers, your interactions will be more formal, in particular if you are meeting them for the first time or if you know them only in professional settings. Use this brainstorming worksheet to identify potential networking contacts in your circle.
Note: Please do not get discouraged if you contact someone and do not hear back from him or her. Even the kindest, most well intentioned people can get caught during a busy time of the year, a crisis or day-to-day craziness. Please know that someone's failure to respond is not necessarily a negative reflection on you.
You will continue to make new contacts naturally throughout your time at Brandeis and beyond as you: attend events, join student clubs, take new classes, get new jobs and internships, and more. You can also proactively identify additional contacts by using these two online tools: B Careers and LinkedIn.
Coming Soon! Brandeis Career Advisor Network
The Brandeis Career Advisor Network (CAN) is a searchable Brandeis-only database with thousands of Brandeis alumni who are willing to talk with Brandeis students about their careers. Brandeis students will be able to use CAN to search for alumni who work in companies, fields and job functions of interest to you, then contact them for more information. To gain access to the database, you will have to complete Hiatt's networking requirements.
Commonly referred to as the "professional Facebook," LinkedIn is a professional networking site that allows you to identify and connect with potential networking contacts, research companies, and join professional interest groups. Watch this video from the LinkedIn Learning Center to find out how you can use LinkedIn to grow your professional network.
Learn more about LinkedIn and building your professional network by watching these videos from the LinkedIn Learning Center:
- Get Started with LinkedIn: What is LinkedIn and why should you join?
- Build Your Professional Brand: What do people see when they Google you?
- Find Your Career Passion: What do you want to be when you grow up?
- Turn Relationships Into Opportunities: Can networking really help you get a job?
- Nail the Interview: How can you sound like you know what you're talking about?
Create and update your LinkedIn profile
First impressions are important and your LinkedIn profile is often the first link that appears in a Google search for your name. Make sure your online presence matches the quality of your resume. Uploading your most current resume to your LinkedIn profile is a great place to start, but Hiatt can suggest other ways to make your profile more compelling to potential networking contacts and employers. Stop by during drop-in hours or log into HiattChat for tips and advice to polish up your LinkedIn profile.
At minimum, your LinkedIn profile should include:
- An appropriate photo
- A summary of who you are and why you're on LinkedIn
- A listing of your past experiences with detailed descriptions
- Brandeis is listed in your education section with your major course of study (if declared)
- These tips from LinkedIn can help you get started
Research: industry, job function, employer, contact
It is very important to prepare for networking conversations by learning as much as you can on your own about the industry, job function or employer of interest as well as the person with whom you will be speaking. Learn more about conducting industry, job and company research.
If you already know with whom you are meeting, be sure to visit the contact's company website, search for the contact's name online, and review the contact's LinkedIn profile.
Prepare questions in advance
Now that you have set concrete goals for the conversation and know more about the industry, job function, employer and contact, you should be able to prepare a list of thoughtful, relevant questions to ask your contact. Unlike a traditional interview, YOU will be asking the majority of the questions in a networking interaction so it is important to craft them in advance. You should expect to have about 10-15 questions ready to ask for a half hour conversation. You may not get to ask them all, or others may arise during the conversation itself, but at least you will be prepared if the person provides only short answers. For a place to start, check out these sample networking questions.

Mandy Patinkin And Josh Gad Join Zach Braff's I Wish I Was Here
By Nick Venable 2013-05-15 12:04:16 comments
Regardless of how scornful you might feel about Zach Braffs Kickstarter campaign for his upcoming film I Wish I Was Here, there are enough Braff fanatics out there to make the film a reality. And now that all that dust has settled and I Wish I Was Here's Kickstarter goal has been well exceeded, the films casting has begun.
Veteran actor Mandy Patinkin has joined the indie production, and hell be joined by The Book of Mormons Josh Gad. Theyll be joining The Big Bang Theorys Jim Parsons, who was added to the cast last week. Thats a lot of TV stars coming together for this flick.
Patinkin has been killing it the last couple of years in his role as Saul on Showtimes Homeland, and will next be seen in the Philip Roth adaptation American Pastoral, which is currently filming. The Tony Award-nominated Gad has had something of a challenging year so far, which has seen the release of the Steve Jobs biopic Jobs -in which Gad played Steve Wozniak - delayed indefinitely, and his NBC sitcom 1600 Penn was recently cancelled. But hes voicing one of the leads in Disneys upcoming Frozen as well as a lead in DreamWorks Animations Me and My Shadow, so his career isnt in dire straits or anything.
I Wish I Was Here, written by brothers Zach and Adam Braff, follows Zachs struggling actor, father and husband character as he tries to figure out his life in his mid-thirties, perhaps finding his answers when his financial situation forces him to homeschool his two kids. Patinkin will play Braffs characters father, while Gad will play the brother role. No word on if Parsons will become a sexy pool boy for the film as he did in the campaign video.
The Kickstarter funding still has another nine days to go if you're still in a mood to donate.

I can drive the car 2 hours with multiple shut offs or 5 minutes with shutting it off only once and the car will crank and crank but will not start immediately . 5-10 minutes later it will start...sounding drained, but will run smoothly. The only consistent start is the first start in the morning with no issues. The rest of the day is sporadic.

text: Grant funding was approved to build a side walk in New Haven. The proposed project would provide a safe route to school for kids walking from highway 100 to the high school and middle school building. According to City Administrator Steve Roth, The need for the sidewalk couldn't be more apparent with kids either sharing the road with cars and busses or walking in the grass. This is the second time the city applied for the grant which will cover 100 percent of the 74 thousand 800 dollar price tag. The first time the grant was applied for, it included a side walk to the elementary school with a significantly larger asking price but the city decided to address that problem by including it with the Miller Street phase two project. Roth says he would like for construction to take place over the summer so the side walk would be in place by the beginning of next school year.
