Yes, the same 10 figures are available in a new colorway, and really, that's about all that's new here. Isn't that the case with most colorways, though? The TAG-exclusive set will be US$25 and on sale Wednesday at noon Pacific (3 p.m. Eastern, 8 p.m. GMT).

Tomopop (Mini) Guide to the Weekend: May 4, 2013
May 02
// Brian Szabelski
Fight For Your Right First up on the list, we have ... custom boxing gloves? What? Yes, it's a real event that's happening at Toy Art Gallery this weekend, but it's all for a good cause. The event features 40 artists and has been put together by Fight The City, which makes custom gloves and boxing gear. The gloves will be auctioned off and a portion of the proceeds will go toward the Hoods to Woods Foundation, which helps inner-city kids explore the wilderness and other outdoors activities. Ten of the 40 artists are showing off and selling their gloves exclusively at TAG: Akira Kiriya, Anthony Ausgang, David Flores, Devilrobots, Ron English, Shojonotomo, Task One, Tetsuya Chiba, tokidoki, and Paul Frank. You can see some of the gloves in our gallery. I'm curiously interested in what Ron English's gloves will look like ... It's a one-day event, only happening Saturday, May 4, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Pacific at TAG (7571 Melrose Ave., Los Angeles). A second show takes place in New York City on May 9 at The Time Hotel (22 W. 49th St., Manhattan, New York). The second event will feature the remaining gloves from artists Angry Woebots, Abe Lincoln Jr., Alex Kirzhner, Bwana Spoons, Cope2, Dan Lizowski, DreS13, Frank Kozik, Indie184, Jay222, Jon Contino, Justin Carty, kaNO, Kronk, Lou Pimentel, Lucky Nakazawa, MCA, Mike Jones, Ryan Mcguire, Sara Martin, Scarecrowoven, Mr. Shane Jessup, Shut NYC, Skinner, Skwak, SpankyStokes, and Toofly. All these custom gloves will be up on eBay starting May 9. Oddfellows and Pink Eye @ Stranger Factory Out in the deserts of New Mexico (okay, more like in Albuquerque), Stranger Factory has a double opening this weekend. In the main room, Doktor A and Chet Zar are opening Oddfellows, a showcase of new works from both artists respectively. That means new pieces from Dok, which we just might want to highlight in a separate post because they're pretty cool. In the project room, doubleparlour is opening Pink Eye, featuring some trademark resin monster pieces. Both shows will run through June 2. The Mini Tea Tour's London Stop and Suck It Up Lunartik's travels have him hopping around Europe in May, starting with the next stop on his Mini Tea Tour: Raygun Comics in Richmond, London, U.K. The show will feature some 70-plus Mini Teas done by different artists and runs from May 4 to May 30. That's not all, though; Lunartik is also stopping off in Barcelona with Niels de Jong as part of The Clean Machine for their first show, Suck It Up. It takes place May 10 at Sho BCN Galley (Travessera de Gracia, 163, Barcelona, Spain) and will feature prints from both artists. They'll also be in attendance. May the 4th be with you/Lucky Bag Sale/Gargamel Show @ Super7 Star Wars fans in the Bay Area might want to head on down to Super7 this weekend, as they're once more holding their May the 4th Be With You celebrations all day long. Here's a quick rundown of what to expect: Hyperactive Monkey's Jerome Lu is doing a live mural painting all-day Gentle Giant, Diamond Select Toys and EFX Collectibles will all have new prototypes on display Four new T-shirts will be available as part of the Super7 x Star Wars collection for US$35 Super7's vintage Star Wars toys will be 20 percent off, plus you'll have the chance to win a Blue Snaggletooth Kenner figure as part of a raffle (US$1 per ticket, drawing at 6 p.m. Pacific) Rebel Scum is hosting a meet-up and trading party at the event for collectors Steve Sansweet of the Rancho Obi-Wan Museum will have a bunch of his Star Wars memorabilia on display, and will be signing copies of his new book, "Star Wars: The Ultimate Action Figure Collection" Acme Archives is having an art show at the event (preview here), as well as a print by Amy Mebberson available called Leia's Story. It's limited to 200 pieces at US$50 each, and you can start pre-ordering them right now. It looks really, really nice. Also of note is that the annual Super7 Lucky Bag sale will happen Saturday, May 25 (a quick reminder for the uninitiated of what that entails), the same day that a Gargamel custom show opens its doors. Be sure to check out both if you're going to be down there. Good Smile's Golden Week events While it's Golden Week in Japan, Good Smile Company is not taking a break at all. They've got two events lined up for this week and weekend. First, they're hosting several displays across Akihabara, from May 3-6. The locations are: Animate Akihabara, 5th floor Kotobukiya's Akihabara shop, 1st and 3rd floor Sofmap's Amusement Hall in Akihabara, 4th floor Volks Akihabara Showroom, 2nd floor Then, they'll be visiting Shikoku via Machiasobi vol. 10 in Tokushima on May 3-5. Treasure Festa in Ariake 9 Finally, this weekend is also Treasure Festa in Ariake 9, taking place Sunday, May 5, at Tokyo Big Sight. As you might expect, it'll be garage kits and dolls and such as far as the eye can see. Grizzry Panda is attending with his Isshiki Akane piece, and a ton of other garage kit producers like T's System should be in attendance. Also happening this month: Fonzo Loves the UK (May 11 - SHO Gallery - Cardiff, Wales, U.K.) Shizuoka Hobby Show 2013 (May 16-19 - Twin Messe Shizuoka - Shizuoka, Japan) Design Festa 37 (May 18-19 - West Halls, Tokyo Big Sight - Ariake, Tokyo, Japan) London MCM Expo (May 24-25 - ExCeL London - Newham, London, U.K.) MegaHobby Expo (May 25 - Akiba UDX - Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan) Vinyl Cavey Custom Show (May 31 - Fleet River Bakery - Lincoln's Inn Fields, London, U.K.)

Tomopop's Big Bad DesignerCon 2012 Roundup (Part 2)
Nov 01
// Brian Szabelski
Toy Art Gallery Toy Art Gallery's booth this year, #400, is host to a multitude of exclusives. These include the black edition of Nathan Hamill's Strife and Sire; Metallic Rainbow Uamous from Uamou; Deathshead White Edition by David Flores; 4-inch MyGuys by Meredith Dittmar; Pokken Kaiser and Luftkaiser editions by Paul Kaiju; Waodog one-offs from Waotoyz; an exclusive or two from Galaxy People; and more. There's also three planned signings: Davis Flores from noon to 12:30 p.m.; Nathan Hamill from 1 to 1:30 p.m.; and Paul Kaiju from 2 to 2:30 p.m. Finally, visitors will get a peek at the TAG Lifesize Figure Series. Munky King The big news from Munky King for DesignerCon is the release of Luke Chueh's Target (US$100, 1000 pieces in colorway total), which comes with a removable brush accessory and walls that will interlock with the other colorways to let you create a shooting gallery-like display in the future. Luke will be signing at the booth, #217, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Scott Tolleson If you pop by booth #708, you might find yourself in the middle of an army of brand new Deadbeets! The second run of Scott's sofubi carrot monster will be at the show (US$60, 25 pieces) and not only is it cast with translucent orange glitter vinyl (that's a mouthful), but it apparently glows in the dark. Sounds like some serious qizardry may be involved there ... If you're a fan of the Designer Toy Award-winning Nosellots plush line, then you'll want to know that Jedidiah McDoogle, the last of the gang to debut, will be making an appearance at DesignerCon. There will also apparently be a special "D-Con Deal" on the Nosellots line. Scott's also releasing the artist proofs of his Mr. Pinkerton Mini Qee, with five pieces of each of the four colorways available for US$50. These will be signed and it sounds as if the first 20 purchases come with a limited edition print. Squid Kids Ink Squid Kids Ink is hunkering down in Booth #600, and their exclusive is the little guy you see above: a golden DesignerCon 2012 Mini 10-Doh! figure! Nate from Squid Kids Ink actually designed the back cover of the program for the event, and the Mini 10-Doh! features the old version of Vincent because ... well, Nate said he couldn't get the new DCon logo design for this year to fit on the label. Still, it's a nice little figure and another chance to pick up an event-exclusive golden 10-Doh! for those of you who collect these little fellows. Vaud Villain Studios Along with bringing Bi-Polar Molar, Vaud Villain Studios will have the Mostly Mono Modern Martians at booth #828. The first in the Mostly Mono Martians series, these are a series of custom Munnys painted in a single color; this variant happens to be blue, with some yellow and red accents. The five-eyed little fellow is also wearing a little hat and dressed in the most modern of fashion. He comes inside a hand-painted box with an illustration showing the Martian and his fancy little Hover Vespa. You know he has to have one being modern and all. Nick of Vaud Villain has also sent us teasers of a second Martian he just finished up, the Mostly Mono Madness Martian. No, it's not Randy Savage-themed, sadly, but it does come in green with pink and purple accents. He's got the words "1STP BYND" tattooed on his knuckles, a motto that he tends to live by on the big red planet. Kuso Vinyl Kuso Vinyl will be setting up shop in booth #330, and in addition to Ponburger, they'll have a few other things. One is a chance for the West Coast folk to get their hands on the Chester Runcorn Gin and Tonic edition from NYCC (US$150, 150 pieces in total between both events). Also at the booth will be four custom Celsius and Fahrenheit figures from James Fuller (a.k.a. Fuller Designs), who's turned Rotobox's gunslinging hero and villain into Punisher, a Celsius Spawn, Wolverine and Gunslinger. The customs will be on display at the booth. Evilos Those of you who are Vinylmation fans (yes, that's you, Kristina) probably already know who the heck Evilos is. For the rest of us, he's the artist who does some nifty Vinylmation customs and is taking up residence this weekend in booth #428. For DesignerCon, Evilos is bringing along an Alien Vinylmation pin (limited to 100 pieces) and some custom Vinylmation figures. Among those are the Mickey in Carbonite (20 pieces), which features some nice detailing on the surface, and the Jedi Mickey Vinylmation customs. Quite fitting given the news this week, don't you think? Galaxy Monkey The duo known as Galaxy Monkey have taken over booth #325, and they'll be bringing along a DesignerCon exclusive colorway of their first sofubi figure, Monkeynaut (US$65, 20 pieces). Monkeys in spacesuits? I'm pretty sure that idea always works for a figure, especially if Tim Tsui's work taught me anything. They'll also have limited numbers of GID and solid black DIY variants on sale for US$50 each and some customs at the booth. [So ends Part 2, but stay tuned: Part 3 is on the way and it's got some big hitters in it!]
Chock full of Martians, superheroes, monster carrots and Jedi!
Part 1 of our Big Bad DesignerCon 2012 Roundup had a lot in it, sure ... but it barely scratched the surface. We're on to Part 2, and this time, we've got some more familiar names for designer toy fans. Kuso Vinyl, Evilo...

Tomopop About Town: Toy Art Gallery
Feb 11
// Natalie Kipper
Right when you walk into Toy Art Gallery (or TAG, for short), you are greeted by two massive Qee figures on tiered platform displays that are situated in the center of the front part of the store. I was struck by the sheer amount of shininess that the majority of the store's merchandise gave off. The bottom part of the tiered display has items that are perhaps more mainstream and eye-catching (note: I said "perhaps") to the average customer walking down the street. One of the displays has vinyl figures like Doktor A's Humphrey Mooncalf and some of Andrew Bell's works. The other has a variety of things including a set of Shawnimals Ninja Town blind boxes. On the right side of the store, the wall is lined with a large display cabinet full of custom figures, many of which appear to draw inspiration from Japanese culture. Seeing the Half-Baked Old Snake figure by Rohby totally made my day. Next to the big display case is a nook (or is it cranny?) with a bunch of kaiju figures hanging from the wall as well as being displayed on a nearby shelf. I didn't have anything to display the scale but some of these monsters are pretty dang big and my camera does not do justice to some of the more neon color schemes. On the left wall of the store, parallel to the right side's display cabinet of custom figures, is another display cabinet. This one is an odd mix of dreamlike fairy dolls and dioramas, nightmarish I-dunno-what-the-hell-these-are figures, and cute animal statues (check out the two Pecan Pals at both ends of the case in the last shot). Next to the party mix display cabinet (and sort of parallel to the kaiju stuff) was where the plushes and general cute things are kept. This should be no big shocker, but, this was my favorite part of Toy Art Gallery. I was especially pleased to see the Ochaken and Rody plushes, along with some Gloomy Bear stuff that was more than the typical offerings. The bigger figures and/or figures made of metal are located on the way towards the back of the store. I mentioned before that some of the kaiju figures are big but ThreeA/Ashley Wood's Heavy Bramble (shown in the first photo of this cluster) makes them look like Polly Pockets in comparison. All of the apparel, wall artwork, and art publications are found in the back. From what I could tell, a majority of the art on display is made by artists who also work with toys. The T-shirts and hats are all of very good quality and have some designs you won't find at Old Navy or Hot Topic. And thus ends our walkthrough of Toy Art Gallery, the final destination on our Melrose Avenue tour — Tomopop Style! Please wait until your article has come to a full and complete stop before exiting. And for those of you who want a proper summation: Toy Art Gallery is one of the big spots to go for toys of the higher end persuasion. There is almost always an artist's showcase on display. I had unfortunately come on one of the odd days when the store was between shows but you can bet I will be back to see a TAG show in the future. I added it to my bucket list. IF YOU GO: Toy Art Gallery7571 Melrose AvenueLos Angeles, CA 90046 (323)653-8697 email@example.com Hours of Operation: Tuesday - Saturday 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. View Larger Map
The final location in our grand circle tour of Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, Calif., sits a bit farther away from JapanLA, Munky King, and Kidrobot. If you are into the toy show scene, there is no doubt you have heard of it. The store is none other than Toy Art Gallery! Hit the jump to check out the store!

There's been two sides to Eli Manning thus far for the New York Giants in the early parts of the 2013 season. The good side to Manning is the 812 yards and five touchdown passes he's thrown for against the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos. The bad though, is the seven interceptions thrown in those game games and the 0-2 record he's gotten off to, which had some fans already getting bent out of shape.
The 32-year-old veteran knows that turning the ball over won't win games in the NFL, and on Monday, after he had to watch the game film of his four interceptions; three of which he was the culprit of. and acknowledged to Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN New York that he needs to get better and make smarter football decisions on the field.
"Turnovers are going to lose you football games," Manning said. "And so we've got to eliminate the turnovers. Every interception has its own story, but I have to be smarter with the football and throw the ball more accurately and we've got to make some plays."
While Manning knows he is currently second in the NFL in passing yards (one yard behind Aaron Rodgers), his completion percentage and quarterback rating hasn't been that great, which is again, due to the turnovers. What has also caused Manning to throw so much early on is the lack of the running game, which has practically been non-existent in those games; rushing for just 73 yards; an issue the Giants need to address when they take on the Carolina Panthers in Sunday's Week 3 battle.
While Manning knows all of the interceptions haven't entirely been his fault, he's not going to lay blame on anyone else and won't dwell on what has already happened and will look to bounce back, which starts with getting back on the practice field and then playing on Sunday against the Panthers.
"I don't think I can just get worried about the number," he said. "I've got to look at the plays and look at the decision-making on my part. …Hopefully we just don't get in those games where you're down 22 points in the fourth quarter. At that point, I like to tell myself, 'don't throw interceptions, don't force things when you don't have to,' but I'm going to compete. If it's fourth-and-10, I'm going to give a guy a shot to make a play and if it looks like it's double coverage. …But I'm not going to lay down. So I think I've just got to look at each play and kind of see is it a bad throw? Is it a bad decision? Is it a misread? I'm not having many of those. Those aren't the cases."
If the Giants can get the running game going for the first time and maybe even break David Wilson out of his early troubles, it will allow Manning to properly utilize his deep weapons like Victor Cruz, Hakeem Nicks, Rueben Randle and Brandon Myers, and allow the Giants to not only put points up on the board, but potentially win their first game of the season.

The Table of Contents is your portal to all stories Jose. I'll continue to add to this list as I write more stories.
The Return of Greatness: The story of how a once embarrassing story line came to be and some new information about how it is revived.
Chapter 1: Evil Twin and I make our way from Denver to Laramie, Wyoming but stop in Boulder to get destructively drunk.
Chapter 2: I go to a party at a buddy's house and I lost my mind on some acid.
Chapter 3: I take a trip to Spain, offend the locals, and end up staring Spanish prison in the face.
Chapter 4: I throw a party, get kicked out of it, crash at my buddy's place with his parents permission, and suddenly, I'm waking up to a trigger happy cop and several felony counts.
Chapter 5: High school kids make bad decisions and I was no exception, but messing with the DEA and risking time in pound-you-in-the-ass prison is pretty much a low. Mind you, not a personal low.
Chapter 6: As a freshman in college, the police raided a bar I was drinking in while underage and the scene that ensued made me a minor celebrity on campus.
Chapter 7: I spend most of my 21st birthday at a dive bar flirting with a cougar but then I got out of hand and the police decided I wasn't fit to go home. Ok, I did, but nonetheless, I didn't go home.
Chapter 8: Irish and I drink far too much, but it's not until morning when I found out how far over the line he went.
Chapter 9: My car broke down at the corner of Iowa, Nebraska, and Missouri when I was moving to Idaho to start my career working in the potato fields.
Chapter 10: I get surprised by a black bear on the Appalachian Trail. Unfortunately, I failed to notice her two cubs I had walked in front of until it was too late to get out of that situation.
Chapter 11: I take two girls out on a canoe to do some fishing and successfully lodge a hook in my thumb bone and have to cut it out with my deer knife. It may not be intuitive, but the scene that unfolded was hilarious.
Chapter 12: I take Evil Twin out to a bar in Idaho and after drinking our fill, he convinces me to misbehave in public in a manner that draws the ire of the police.
Chapter 13: Is it any surprise that when Evil Twin and I drive across the country on a brewery and National Park tour that we'd end up in Border Patrol custody….twice?

LIVERMORE, Calif. - Don Correll and Edward Moses of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have been awarded the distinction of fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
Selection as a fellow is an honor bestowed upon AAAS members by their peers. This year, 486 members have been awarded this honor by AAAS because of their scientifically or socially distinguished efforts to advance science or its applications.
New fellows will be presented with an official certificate and a gold or blue (representing science and engineering, respectively) rosette pin on Saturday, Feb. 14, at the AAAS Fellows Forum during the 2009 AAAS Annual Meeting in Chicago.
This year's AAAS fellows will be announced in the AAAS News & Notes section in the Dec. 19 issue of the journal Science .
Correll is honored for his "long-standing recognition and distinguished contributions to science education, including communications and materials targeted toward students, teachers and the general public."
"I am deeply honored for this recognition by AAAS," said Correll, who has been an AAAS member since 1987. "I also am extremely appreciative of the LLNL culture that has allowed me to be involved in science education side-by-side with my science research and science management responsibilities. As with many science awards, this recognition by AAAS would not have been possible without the help and support of my Laboratory colleagues."
Moses is honored for his "distinguished scientific and engineering contributions leading to development and construction of the world's largest and most energetic laser system, the National Ignition Facility."
"For me, this award is a reflection of working on world-class challenges with world-class talent at a world-class lab. I am honored and thankful," Moses said.
Correll was an experimental physicist in LLNL's Magnetic Fusion Energy program from 1976-87; from 1988-97, he was a research member within the Laser Fusion Program. From 1998-2003, he directed LLNL's Science & Technology Education Program. In 2004, Correll became the director for the Institute for Laser Science Applications (ILSA) along with joining the Associate Director's Office of LLNL's Physical and Life Sciences Directorate. Correll also is a fellow of the American Physical Society.
Correll earned his Ph.D. in plasma physics from the University of California at Irvine in 1976. While at UC Irvine, he was both a UC Regents/Chancellor Fellow and a Hughes Foundation Doctoral Fellow.
"From a collective view, being an AAAS fellow reflects the outstanding quality of science and scientists at LLNL," Correll said. "From a personal perspective, being an AAAS fellow can provide additional opportunities to engage others on the importance of including science education as part of a science career."
Moses is the principal associate director for NIF and Photon Science at LLNL. Hehas 18 years of experience developing Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) laser systems and 30 years of experience developing and managing complex laser systems and high-technology projects.
As associate director for the National Ignition Facility (NIF) Program from 2005-2007, he was responsible for completing construction and bringing into full operation the world's largest optical instrument for achieving ignition in the laboratory and for studying inertial fusion energy.
Moses joined Lawrence Livermore in 1980, becoming program leader for Isotope Separation and Material Processing, and deputy associate director for Lasers. From 1990-95, he was a founding partner of Advanced Technology Applications, which advised clients on proposing on and designing high-technology projects. He returned to LLNL in 1995 as assistant associate director for program development, Physics and Space Technology.
Moses received his bachelor's degree and doctorate from Cornell University in New York. He has won numerous awards, including the 2003 NNSA Award of Excellence for Significant Contribution to Stockpile Stewardship, the 2004 DOE Award of Excellence for the first joint LLNL/Los Alamos National Laboratory experiments on NIF, and the D.S. Rozhdestvensky Medal for Outstanding Contributions to Lasers and Optical Sciences. He holds seven patents in laser technology and computational physics.
The AAAS is the world's largest general scientific society, and publisher of the journal, Science .
AAAS was founded in 1848, and includes some 262 affiliated societies and academies of science, serving 10 million individuals.
Founded in 1952, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is a national security laboratory, with a mission to ensure national security and apply science and technology to the important issues of our time. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is managed by Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC for the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration.

Social Security
Ask Social Security Questions and Get Answers ASAP
I realize you have a question about social security. My goal is to help you better understand your options.
How are you today?
Yes, all three payments would be subject to income tax, although you would not pay tax on 100% of your social security
You can use a calculator, HERE to calculate the amount of your social security benefit that would be taxable
So, when they say if your income passes 25000, what constitutes "income?" Is it the annuity and the interest from the bonds I'm invested in?
Is it the social security?
Yes, your annuity income and work income is considered "income"
So, then I'm well past 25000
So, why do you say I wouldn't pay tax on "all" of my social security?
It sounds like a portion is taxable to me. You can use the calculator I provided to determine how much is taxable
Because the IRS applies a formula. You only pay tax on up to 85% of your benefit
HOw much you pay depends on your other income
ok. let me try the calculator. thanks. i think they purposely make it really difficult!
I understand. Please let me know if you need further assistance, and please rate my response as "Excellent" so that I may receive credit for assisting you today
Do you pay social security tax as well?
No, you only pay social security tax when you work
You don't pay social security tax on social security income
You won't pay it on your annuity either
social i would pay social security on the 15,120 job, but not the annuity or social secuity benefit. right?
That is correct
ok thanks

Forget Your Thursday Night Plans. The Texas Theatre is Screening the Anita Hill Documentary.
If you haven't seen the hashtag #YesAllWomen pop up in your newsfeed this week, you have the wrong friends. In the wake of the Elliot Rodger shootings, women across the globe began to stand together, sharing harassment and assault experiences, in order to draw attention to the continued reality of these issues.
While there is nothing uplifting to be said of this tragedy, this hashtag, and the stories it's encouraged people to share, provides a bright light in the face of monstrosity. And it's at a moment like this that it may be fitting to look back on the groundbreaking story of Anita Hill, the young, black woman who stood up for herself in 1991 when Clarence Thomas was vying for his Supreme Court nomination. She stood defiant in front of a white male-dominated Congress, a woman roaring, demanding that her sexual harassment case be taken seriously, and breaking ground in the fight for equality. If anyone's story deserves the #YesAllWomen hashtag, it's hers.
This Thursday, the Texas Theatre screens the 2013 documentary that interviews modern-day Hill about her reflections on her accusations then, giving new generations an important story of female empowerment. See Anita: Speaking Truth to Power at 7:30 p.m. for $11. Tickets available at thetexastheatre.com.

Faculty Committees
All faculty should be aware of the functions of the many faculty committees, both to appreciate the scope and reach of faculty involvement in the workings of the college and to learn of the resources available to the faculty and their students.
There are ten standing committees of the faculty, and they are, in the order of their election: Tenure, Provost's Advisory, Committee on Committees and Agenda, Advisory, Educational Policy, Appeals and Hearing, Academic Standing, Faculty Scholarships and Promotions, Faculty Workload and Economic Status, and the Committee on Library, Technology, and Learning. The Annual Reports of the individual committees may be found via the links in the far right column.
The rules for the election of committee members and the charges to the committees can be found in the Section VIII of Faculty Legislation. The Committee on Committees and Agenda (COCA) not only runs these elections but also makes the following information easily accessible from this site: current committee memberships, rules governing elections, upcoming committee vacancies, etc. Please consult the COCA site for a full accounting of Wheaton's committee structures.
The Educational Policy Committee will maintain its own website as a rich resource for its workings. A detailed list of its many subcommittees and their functions, minutes of its meetings, and compilations of its policies will be available when the site goes live in the spring.
Outside of the formal structures of the twelve standing committees there are various ad hoc faculty committees. A partial list of these committees and their membership will also be made available for consultation this spring.

A MATERNITY group has written to Warrington Hospital criticising their 'continuous monitoring' move for women in labour.
The Association for Improvements in the Maternity Services (AIMS) chairman Beverley Beech says she is 'more than slightly concerned' the hospital 'appears to be dictating this intervention without considering womens' human rights'.
She added she would be writing to the Prime Minister and Minister of Health about the move which has previously been reported in the Warrington Guardian.
The letter continued: "I am also concerned to be told that the midwives, whom I understand are opposed to your dictat, have been instructed not to air their views."
The news follows concerned mums highlighting a Warrington Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) report from September 2013 which said an action plan had been put in place at the hospital around the recruitment of more midwives to 'ensure the organisation is operating at a safe level'.
In January 2014 a report also said the CCG was still working to seek assurances regarding the care of a patient admitted to maternity in early labour whose baby was stillborn and two further cases were being reviewed by the Serious Untoward Investigation group.
March's CCG quality report added there would be a further review after areas were highlighted for further development to improve maternity care.
A hospital spokesman said staff levels are reviewed every year with seven additional midwives recruited last year which means the ward is 'fully staffed'.
Dr Paul Hughes, medical director at Warrington Hospital, said: "Unfortunately, AIMS have misunderstood our approach to monitoring and we have written to them to assure them that it is very much a choice that is being offered.
"We have been reviewing the approach we put in place and asking for staff views.
"It has been in place in response to a small trend of lower birth weights and women presenting with some other risks such as decreased fetal movement.
"Our stillbirth rate in Warrington is lower than the national average but stillbirths do sadly occur.
"Each case is individual and is looked into very carefully to understand whether there was anything that could have been done differently.
"In some instances we request external peer review from other maternity units so we can do that independently and improve practice."
He added reviews have not shown any 'causal link' between the different cases but the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists had been invited to carry out a 'belt and braces review'.
He added: "The universal offer of monitoring was put in place as an additional safety step for our women and if the reviewers agree then we will look at withdrawing it and only offering in higher risk cases."

Yawn. have heard this script before. Oh all the excuses are flowing. We weren't toghether that long. My time is coming. yada yada yada.
Carmelo Anthony the ball stopper is crowing how his time is coming-if not this year then next. And by that time it will be if not next then the next. So on and so forth.
Anthony is working out with Tyson Chandler in getting ready for the London games. he will be re-united with the man he got fired Mike D'Antoni. that should be interesting. We will get all the puffery and talk we are used to with Anthony. How he loves D'Atoni. Hoe he wants to win so badly. etc etc etc.
Listen Melo isn't a bad guy. Very much opposite in fact. He is a good guy and gives much of his time to the poor and other causes. But when it comes to winning he knows nothing. His idea of winning is getting all the shots, if more then 50% go in he has won no matter what the team does.
11 time championship coach Phil Jackson said it best when he said in an HBO interview "the ball always stops when it gets to him". Anthony is a solid guy but his talk has become cheap. His selfishness in needing to be the man has worn thin. It isn't an accident he has won just 2 playoff series yet he is always the main focus.
I have written a few times how this Knick team has lots of talent but is poorly constructed and hiring Mike Woodson was not a good move. I won't rehash all of that but I will say his promising to win a title and playing dumb is getting tiring.
The latest 'My time is coming" . Notice not our time but my time. it's always about me with Anthony in a basketball sense. The truth is Carmelo that the Miami Heat had many injuries during the regular season and playoffs so your latest bluster is just that. I wonder sometimes if this guy hears himself speak. Talking about the Heat being toghether all this time is just not true. This was only the 2nd year of the Heat's big 3 and all 3 missed time this season and into the post season.
I am betting Anthony loved the wax figure just put up of him in Madam Tussauds in mid town Manhatten. Just think he didn't have to share the wax figure with anyone else-Just the way Anthony likes his basketball!

This picture showed up in my facebook feed today as one of my friends shared it. First off, this is probably fake. But in a way that is incidental to the more relevant fact that over 200,000 people 'like' this and it's pernicious overtones of conformity.
Let's take this point by point:
In case you can't read it [sic]:
No wonder this guy is the boss, he is sharp! You can't be any fairer than this guy...
Dear Employees:
As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%. But, since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead. This has really been bothering me since I believe we are all family here and I didn't know how to choose who would have to go. So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found
sixty 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go. I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change... So I gave it to them.
I will see the rest of our at the annual company picnic."
Let's take this point by point:
"...our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way."
Corporate tax rates are at historical lows; there really isn't any way around this. In fact, according to the Wall St. Journal, the effective corporate tax rate in 2011 fell to 12.1%, which is the lowest since before World War I.
|See that spike in 1987? Reagan must have been a socialist!
In addition, Obama, in the run-up to the 'fiscal-cliff', supported reducing the top marginal corporate tax rate of 35% to 25%. That didn't happen, so the top marginal corporate tax rate is still at 35% today. In other words: nothing has changed.
So, it should be very obvious that taxes for this guy's company shouldn't have increased in a "BIG way". Maybe his accounting department is just incompetent.
"...due to the dismal state of the economy"
It would be nice to know what metric he is using to make this assertion, but assuming this letter was fairly recent to the May 2013 facebook posting, we can make several statements that don't bear out this claim:
Since Obama took office, the S&P 500 more than doubled:
..and the jobless rate has fallen to the lowest point in 5 years. Oh and let's not forget who was in charge in the run-up to and during the great real-estate and financial bubble of 2008 that put the economy in such lousy shape when Obama took office.
So again, I'm very interested in knowing what about the economy is "dismal". And what a jerk for not even backing up this claim, which is the basis for firing 60 people.
"I walked through our parking lots and found sixty 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go."
How capricious and vindictive. If you really have to shed staff, it might be wise to keep the top performers and let go of those with questionable performance. I can hear conservatives now snarkily quipping how Obama supporters would obviously be the lowest performers. But this "CEO" doesn't even pretend to be making rational and fair business decisions; this is his convenient way of punishing those with an ideology that differs from his.
And that is the real point of what disturbs me about this - so many people apparently think an acceptable way to deal with others with different ideas is to purge them. This seems to be a common thread for conservatives these days given their antipathy to non-white voters, women, and non-Christians. Essentially, whether real or not, this purported layoff letter in many ways represents a modern conservatives utopia where everyone looks and thinks like them so that their insularity isn't questioned. Quite an utopia.

Liz Sidoti, the chief political writer for The Associated Press who led the news cooperative's coverage of the historic 2008 presidential contest, has been named AP's political editor as the 2012 race heats up between a still-evolving GOP field and President Barack Obama.
The appointment was announced Tuesday by AP's Washington bureau chief, Sally Buzbee.
"Liz's career is steeped in AP's rich tradition of being first with political news; she's a ferocious competitor. Even more remarkable is her ability to push and improve the work of those around her," Buzbee said. "She is a model for how journalists can cut through the political noise and fit the pieces together to explain what is happening in politics and why it matters to people beyond the nation's capital."
In her new role, Sidoti will lead a team of political reporters in Washington as well as guide national coverage by AP's network of journalists in every state capital. A former Ohio statehouse reporter for the AP, she will be responsible for leveraging that unique 50-state resource to ensure the AP breaks political news, conveys the electorate's changing mood and explains issues that matter to voters. Above all, she will ensure that the AP provides clarity during an election that will affect every American.
Sidoti's background in reporting from a battleground state will help her orchestrate that coverage, said Mike Oreskes, AP's senior managing editor for U.S. news.
"The American presidential election is one of our most important franchises," Oreskes said. "From the early days of Iowa to the results on election night, AP is there, and Liz's passion and experience will be an important part of driving us to absolutely top-flight performance."
Sidoti will work with video, photo and interactives teams to keep AP competitive in all formats.
Sidoti, 33, has covered national politics for The Associated Press since 2003.
She was named chief national political writer for the news cooperative in 2009, becoming the AP's lead reporter covering national campaigns while tracking political trends in federal, state and local governments and in the country at large. She is a veteran of two presidential campaigns _ in 2004 and 2008 _ and two midterm congressional campaigns _ in 2006 and 2010.
She was a White House reporter for the AP covering Obama's inaugural six months, and also spent 18 months reporting from Congress on national security and foreign affairs issues.
Sidoti joined the AP in Cincinnati in 1999, and spent four years covering the Ohio statehouse and politics. Prior to AP, she did reporting stints at The Columbus Dispatch, The Repository in Canton, Ohio, and the Record-Courier in Portage County, Ohio. A native of Kent, Ohio, Sidoti has a bachelor's degree in journalism from Ohio University.

Stephen Bishop Biography
14 November 1951, San Diego, California, USA. While he had mastered both piano and trombone, it was an older brothers gift of an electric guitar that launched a vocational flight whereby an unprepossessing, bespectacled 14-year-old became a highly popular songwriter of US pop. In 1967, he formed his first group, the Weeds, who recorded some Beatles -inspired demos in Los Angeles before disbanding. During a subsequent seven-year search for a solo recording contract, Bishop worked as a tunesmith for a publishing house before securing a contract in 1976 via the patronage of Art Garfunkel. Indeed, his debut album for ABC Records, Careless, was much in the style of his champion. It also employed the cream of Los Angeles session players. Fortunately for ABC, it was nominated for a Grammy and, like the succeeding Bish, hovered in the lower reaches of the national Top 40 for several months. The spin-off singles (particularly On And On from Careless) also fared well. The Four Tops, Chaka Khan and Barbra Streisand covered his compositions and Bishop gained studio assistance from Khan, Garfunkel, Gary Brooker, Steve Cropper, Phil Collins and other stars. He returned these favours by contributing to Collins Face Value (1981) and composing Separate Lives, the Englishmans duet with Marilyn Martin from the movie White Nights.
Bishops own performances on film included the theme songs to Animal House (Dream Girl), Roadie (Your Precious Love with Yvonne Elliman), 1982s Tootsie (It Might Be You, a non-original) and The China Syndrome. In common with the ubiquitous Garfunkel, he also tried his hand as a supporting actor - notably in 1980s The Blues Brothers - but his musicianship remains Bishops calling card. Although his later albums were commercially erratic, he extended his stylistic range - as exemplified byRed Cab To Manhattan, which embraced both an attempt at big band jazz (This Is The Night) and Dont You Worry, a tribute to the Beatles. Bowling In Paris featured contributions from Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, Sting and Randy Crawford.

Secret details of thousands of investigations by the Victorian Ombudsman - including names of protected whistleblowers - face ''significant risk'' because of how the data is stored.
Ombudsman files containing witness statements, commercial-in-confidence documents and highly sensitive information about alleged corruption and misconduct are currently being stored by the state government's troubled IT agency, CenITex.
But an independent review has warned the system may not be secure enough because it is not controlled by the Ombudsman, which could result in computer breaches leading to ''detrimental action'' against whistleblowers; leaking of ministerial advice; and potential problems for the new anti-corruption commission, which occasionally shares the information.
''Hosting of the Ombudsman's data by CenITex appeared a significant risk to the integrity of the Ombudsman's investigations and public confidence in the Victorian integrity system generally, and the Ombudsman in particular,'' says a summary of the review, published by the Ombudsman.
As the state's public sector watchdog, Ombudsman George Brouwer's office has examined more than 100,000 complaints since 2004. Recent investigations include the car rorting of Frankston MP Geoff Shaw, the death of gangland killer Carl Williams and allegations against former police chief commissioner Simon Overland.
Last year, a scathing Ombudsman's report was also handed down on CenITex itself, which found public servants working for the organisation had rewarded lucrative taxpayer-funded jobs to their friends, associates and even to themselves, in a systematic breach of probity.
Earlier, a Fairfax Media investigation had also found that while CenITex had become a ''feeding frenzy'' for IT contractors, it was providing substandard IT services to the bureaucracy.
Eight staffers were either sacked, resigned, or had their contracts terminated as a result of the Ombudsman's probe. But in a bizarre twist, CenITex had custody of the data collected by investigators while the inquiry was taking place - and still does - including details regarding the identity of whistleblowers; witness details; transcripts of interviews; commercial-in-confidence contracts; and ministerial briefings.
CenITex corporate communications director Ross Gilmour refused to comment when asked if the public could be assured that all data was secure, saying any questions must be referred to Technology Minister Gordon Rich-Phillips.
However, Mr Rich-Phillips' spokeswoman Kristy McSweeney did not comment either, other than to say: ''Matters raised are a matter for the Ombudsman.''
Opposition scrutiny of government spokesman Martin Pakula said it was critical that any data held by law enforcement and integrity agencies was ''absolutely secure''.
He said the government should address the matter immediately, pointing to the recent case in which a corrupt police officer leaked sensitive police files to an outlaw bikie gang, potentially placing lives at risk.
''Whistleblowers, witnesses and informants will not come forward if they believe their information or their identity might be compromised. The government must act to immediately fix what is, potentially, a significant security risk,'' Mr Pakula said.
The review was conducted by consulting firm Third Horizon and paid for by the Department of Premier and Cabinet and the Ombudsman's office.
It was commissioned amid concerns the growing number of complaints to the Ombudsman's office is putting a strain on its $10million budget.
The department has had to supplement the budget on an ''ad hoc'' basis, but the review found this was not sustainable in the long term.
The review also called for an independent IT network to store the Ombudsman's files. Unlike other public sector watchdogs, such as the Auditor-General's office or the Independent Broad-Based Anti-Corruption Commission - which have their own independent data systems - Mr Brouwer's office is required to use CenITex, which also stores information for other state departments.
But, according to the review, ''while all agencies have issues relating to sensitive and highly confidential data, the Ombudsman's role in investigating conduct within the public sector make the current shared arrangements a risk''.
Stephen Mumford, the director of corporate services for the Ombudsman's office, said: ''This is not a new issue. The Ombudsman has raised these concerns with the Department of Premier and Cabinet, and staff of the department are working with this office to resolve the issue.''

For those of us lucky enough to live in Florida all year round, we have some exceptions to certain style rules that come into effect up north or elsewhere in the United States. We can, and do, wear white after Labor day. It's completely common to see white jeans and even white shoes the week of Thanksgiving and Christmas. The weather sure fools us from putting away our spring colors as well as the palm trees.
This week's Fashionista sure knows how to rock white after labor day. She wears a pair of white boot cut jeans with a white tank top. Over the tank, to keep her warm from the chill (barely any down here), she wears a snake skint printed blue and white sweater that's thin and flowy for a perfect Florida fall ensemble. A pair of black Jack Rogers sandals are on her feet and a dark brown belt with gold hardware is around her waist.
This is a great look for those of you living in warm places or even for those of you traveling for warm places this holiday season. The white jeans look can be dressed up or dressed down regarding your preference or event. A denim button down shirt is always great to pair with white jeans. For the chillier nights it would look great with a pair of tall brown riding boots.
White is a classic color that makes even the simplest of outfits look elegant, classy and tasteful. I encourage all of you Fashionistas and Fashionistos to go out this holiday season and embrace wearing white after Labor Day. There is no crime in good fashion.

Go For The Heart, You Won't Go Wrong
"Digital" and "Heart" are two ideas you don't naturally put together. Digital media has given us amazing capabilities to reach the masses, to gather big data for powerful analytics, and to automate business processes like never before.

The Heart of Marketing
Heart marketing is not a new idea. But for many it's a new perspective.

They can sniff out an agenda in seconds. If you are motivated by self-centered short term needs of your business, they won't care. And you need for them to care. Heart … [Read More]

Writing and developing solid operational procedures is a skill that develops over time. Procedures are usually fairly technical and often describe complex subjects. These procedures are reviewed by subject-matter experts, as well as by internal and external auditors and by employees at all levels of the organization. Therefore, it is important to consider the language used when communicating an idea.
Terms like "must," "shall," and "will" indicate steps within a procedure that must be adhered to exactly with each execution. Avoid words that cause ambiguity. Words such as "periodically," "generally," "may," "should," and "can" typically indicate a preference and do not enforce consistent execution.

Before addressing whether there's a European requirement for Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Good Clinical Practice (GCP), we need to consider whether ICH GCP (i.e. as provided by the International Conference on Harmonisation) remains the international standard following the publication of the Clinical Trials Directive (2001/20/EC) and the GCP Directive (2005/28/EC). Why? Mainly because the Clinical Trials Directive did not explicitly mention ICH GCP, leading to the perennial question of: which GCP should we be following? So here goes my answer, particularly for those of us affected by European legislation, with a wee bit of context to explain it.
In Europe, the principles of Good Clinical Practice were adopted in July 1996, and became operational in January 1997. These principles were laid down in the community guideline: Note for Guidance on Good Clinical Practice (CPMP/ICH/135/95), otherwise known as ICH Topic E 6 (R1) Guideline for Good Clinical Practice or ICH GCP. Despite having no uniform legal framework for implementation, ICH GCP was largely adhered to within the European Community (EC) as a set of 13 internationally recognised principles for conducting clinical trials. In turn, these were founded in the bioethical principles established in the Declaration of Helsinki. But, its adoption as a regulatory standard was neither complete nor uniform.

According to Carl Anderson, Regulatory and Compliance Consultant, "FDA has issued a new draft guidance document on medical device clinical trials to support a Pre-Market Approval application (PMA). Approximately 30 percent of FDA regulated clinical trials are for medical devices and are regulated by the IDE regulations (21 CFR 812). The remaining 70 percent are for drugs and biologics and are regulated by the IND regulations (21 CFR 312)."
