At first, it was crazy celebrities whose mugshots began showing up online. Now, everyday people pop up on some very popular mugshot sites. It can be embarrassing not for a minute, but indefinitely.Sophia Andrade is woman who is on many of mugshot sites, and for a crime she didn't even commit.The court may have figured out the error, but Andrade says these mugshot sites won't take down her pictures unless she pays them. It's a common complaint, and a state representative wants to see these sites lose the ability to make money off of other people's misery.It was a decade-old shot of actor Nick Nolte that got the everybody talking about celebrity mugshots, and the idea caught on. Nationwide, jailhouse mugshots turned into money making Internet criminal yearbook. Under Andrade's mugshot it says she was locked up for domestic violence. But, behind the random mugshot is a real person devastated by her arrest. "It was surreal. I just stood there. I cried endlessly cause I didn't know what was going to happen," said Andrade.Andrade says it was all a big mistake. She says her husband, after she'd asked for a divorce, filed a domestic violence claim against her. She was arrested, but that's about as far as it got. "The charge was thrown out. So, I went through the process of trying to repair my life. I thought it was going to be, like, expunge your record and move on. Chalk it up as a bad experience," said Andrade. The court did erase her record, but the mughot lives on. Two years later, it's still on several web sites. She says one web site wants to charge several hundred dollars to have it removed. But then there is no guarantee it won't pop up on another site. "I am not going to pay any of them. They're just extorting me and I'm not going to be a part of it," Andrade said. Imagine yourself in a jail processing room. No matter what you've done or maybe didn't do, that police photograph is now available to anybody who asks for it through the Open Records Act. It's legal to post it. But there is one legislator who wants to stop these sites from profiting and turning somebody's bad day into the day that never ends. "It will make it illegal for you to publish the information and then ask for a fee to take it down," said Rep. Roger Bruce, (D) District 64It's not just one removal fee. Bruce says many of the mugshot web sites are connected, so one owner can charge to remove the same picture over and over again."And each time you're paying the same person or the same company," said Bruce.The I-Team called one of the most well-known sites, mugshots.com. Their comment was "I don't have time for this, honey," and hung up the phone.So, Andrade just remains another face on their Web site getting trampled by the internet's lasting footprint. "It really affected me deeply. I was depressed for a little while. It was hard. It was hard. My kids were embarrassed about it," said Andrade.This isn't just about innocent people having their mugshots online forever. There are plenty of people who've been arrested for pretty insignificant crimes, like forgetting to pay a ticket.
So, what do you do if you have a mugshot out there and you're job hunting? One major area employer told says don't bring it up, but if you're asked about it, don't lie, and be upfront about what happened.

A downstate Peoria man has been charged with murder for his role in a 2009 killing that was allegedly orchestrated as part of an initiation ritual into the Latin Kings street gang.
According to Chicago police, Jesus Zuniga, 28, faces one count of first-degree murder, though his role in the shooting death of a 24-year-old Carlton Ewing on the Southeast Side is unclear.
Zuniga's role "was sufficient for the state's attorney to approve murder charges," said police News Affairs Officer Daniel O'Brien.
Detectives traveled downstate and arrested him at his home on Friday, police said in a statement.
Two other men were charged in years past for their role in the murder of Ewing, who did not have gang affiliation, authorities said. The purported shooter, 18-year-old Robert Schultz, is serving a 25-year murder sentence. Juan Macias, 21, was charged in 2009, though he is not currently in the custody of the Illinois Department of Corrections, according to records.
In August 2009 Ewing was riding in a car with three other people in the 9800 block of South Ewing Avenue when a group of males yelling gang slogans and flashing gang signs shot at the vehicle, striking him in the back, authorities said at the time.
Macias yelled out, "GD killers" and motioned for Schultz to fire, prosecutors said at the time
Schultz, then 17, sprung from the gangway he was hiding in and allegedly shot eight times at the car. One of the bullets went through and hit Ewing in the back, an assistant state's attorney said at a 2010 court date.
Zuniga was apparently with the group when the shooting occurred, police said.
The gang initiation was part of a Latin King organized "Hood Day," the prosecutor said.
"Hood Days" are designated days when gang members look for rival members so "shorties" - or those hoping to join the gang – can target enemies.
After he was shot Ewing was driven several blocks from the crime scene, where the other passengers in the vehicle were able to call authorities, police said in a release. Paramedics took Ewing to Advocate Christ Hospital, but died shortly thereafter.
Zuniga is scheduled to appear Monday in bond court.

Keep your eyes on the sky during the pre-dawn hours of Nov. 17-20, because that's when the famous Leonid meteor shower is expected to peak. These meteors are fast (about 40 miles per second) and can leave trails of smoke, according to Astronomy.com. They will appear to radiate from the constellation Leo the Lion and can vary in color.
"Many Leonids are also bright. Usually, the meteors are white or bluish-white, but in recent years some observers reported yellow-pink and copper-colored ones," according to Astronomy.com.
If you live in a subdivision, try utilizing a tennis court or open backyard to catch the meteor shower.
Here's one of the 10 coolest things to know about the Leonids, from Space.com: "Leonids are spawned by the comet Tempel-Tuttle. Every 33 years, it rounds the Sun and then goes back to the outer solar system. On each passage across Earth's orbit, Tempel-Tuttle lays down another trail of debris..."
The Leonids shower is so-called because the meteors seem to radiate outward from the constellation Leo. The starting point, called the radiant for obvious reasons, is found in the part of Leo that looks like a backwards question mark.
The Leonids have been called a meteor "storm" (rather than just a "shower") some years, but reports say this year will be limited to "at best 10 to 15 meteors per hour." The last Leonid storm, with thousands of shooting stars per hour, was in 2002.
A report from MSNBC says there is a reason this year's display is a bit different: there will be "two peaks of activity, one on Saturday morning and another on Tuesday morning (Nov. 20)."
What is a meteor? It's the streak of light that we see when a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere. The Leonids usually contain many bright meteors with trails that can be seen for several minutes. Fireballs may be seen with the naked eye.
The shower began in mid-November. To see the Leonids, lie outside in a dark place between midnight and dawn. Point your feet east and look carefully.
To make sure you get the best view possible, remember to check the weather forecast and conditions before you head outside to watch. The weather should cooperate, for the most part.
The forecast for this weekend is perfect, with clear skies and temperatures falling into the upper 30s and lower 40s on Saturday and Sunday. However, Monday and Tuesday most likely will be partly cloudy with highs in the mid to upper 40s. There is a 10 percent chance of rain Monday and that increases to 20 percent on Tuesday.

Oh no! I'm so sorry.
Myles, I am so sorry to hear that.
I'll gladly send you some sunshine, though. It was up over 100 this weekend, I think up to 106. I'll shave about 10 degrees off that and send it to you.
We have both swamp coolers and a/c. The coolers are much cheaper to run but they don't work once the weather turns humid. Turns out we have a leak in the coolers. DH turned them off until he could get the water fixed but in the meantime we didn't want to turn the a/c on. Poor Nero was miserable and panting last night so today DH did switch over to the a/c. I don't like it because the a/c means we have to keep the doors and windows closed and the air feels stale. With the coolers you have to keep everything open. And, apparently the a/c in the front of the house isn't working at all. DH is going to try to fix the leak so we can switch back to the cooler but we'll have to get the a/c fixed (which means calling the repair guy) before the humidity comes. That should be late June or early July.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Yes, I agree. With no cooler or a/c you want the windows closed in the heat of the day.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Jealous ... I wish I was going to be traveling more.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Myles, is this job ending as bad for you as it sounds? Or is this change=opportunity? Can I offer condolences and congratulations at the same time, or is it just condolences? And I hear you on the crappy weather. I wore all-black on Saturday and was reminded of my days in high school when I wore black and felt all pale and dramatic and wrote poetry, back before being goth was much of a trend (gah! I feel old!).
I'm happiest when the weather is between 74 and 82 degrees. I don't like extreme cold or extreme heat. That's one of the main reasons I moved to the Bay Area. Before I moved here, I made pro and con lists of the few places I had in mind to move. Austin, Seattle, and the Bay Area were my finalists. I am so glad I left Wyoming, and I am actually quite happy with my choice. There are some down sides about living here, but life's been good to me so far.

Bridget, I would take that as a compliment. It means that you are very down to earth and naturally good looking and thus don't need to take forever getting dolled up.
Ummm, I run the central air for weeks on end without opening the windows and the air isn't stale......it's actually much easier on Dh's allergies to have the house closed up.
Mandy, I saw my first swamp cooler when we were visiting my uncle in CA...he lives between Sacramento and Reno but not quite up in the mountains. I thought it was the strangest thing ever! I try everything to remove moisture from the house, not add more in!
Lydia, I have one thing going through my mind as a response to your post. Forgive me if it's overly technical but that's just the perspective I come from.
There are 3 basic "purposes" for communication that emerge in children by about 12 months or so and that underly all communication. I pay a lot of attention to the why and how of communication in my work, which we call pragmatics. It's pragmatics that I mostly work to teach, and in that way I am different that the majority of SLPs who work on grammar and speech sound production with more neurotypical individuals.
Getting to the point, the three core pragmatic purposes are, in ascending order of difficulty, behavioral regulation, social interaction, and joint attention. Again, all of these are present in toddlers. Behavior regulation is communicating to fulfill a specific need. I want juice, I want to play with that toy, I want a greenhouse, what have you. Social interaction is communication simply for the experience of interacting. Singing a nursery rhyme together counts as communicating for social interaction. So does sharing small talk or social chit chat. Joint attention is communicating about a shared experience, such as a baby pointing to an airplane in the sky and wanting to make sure you saw it as well. Or a married couple laughing about something that happened to them on vacation once.
I've had to teach all three of these aspects and usually behavioral regulation is easiest to teach, while joint attention is the hardest, with social interaction somewhere in the middle.
Honestly I think your husband is stuck on behavior regulation. What do I need to do to accomplish my goal of X, Y, and Z? He doesn't appear to be using the other, more abstract reasons to communicate. I know it's somewhat common for men to dislike chit chat, but they should be able to share a social experience with others.
Sorry if I'm preachy or overly technical, but my reaction to "communication has to have a specific goal" is that social interaction in and of itself is one of the three major pragmatic goals of communication. And they are all essential - it is joint attention, the most difficult to develop, that enables us to learn from one another and make progress as a species.

So sorry to hear about your position Myles. I too hope that this will be a great opportunity for you. But still, I know losing a job can be daunting if you need it financially.
I also get horrible allergies. Here in the SE we have horrible pollen counts, sometimes in the 4-5 thousand range, which I never thought was possible. I used to break out in hives if I went outside in April as there is usually a yellow-orange tinge to the air due to the pollen, you can actually see it and it is everywhere. I (shamefully) still have some in my van on the dashboard because I keep forgetting to wipe it off and it does bother me every morning.
We also get multiple days of 90+ temps every summer, which is why I hate it. It is just too much IMO and even though it doesn't bother me like it used to I would rather there be a week or 2 of 90s then some 80s at least. A couple years ago we had a string of about 20-30 days of 100+ temps and that set a record since we usually are between 92 and 98 for the about 3 months straight during summer.
In my experience, people with very high IQs who have pragmatic difficulties are able to learn to strategically use the different forms of pragmatics, as you describe. This hits home for me, too, because my father is exactly like this. But the effort put into it does indicate a problem and something that comes naturally.
I think what needs to happen is that it needs to be made clear to him that the way he is expecting YOU to communicate is stilted an unnatural, and not healthy for you psychologically. He has to meet you halfway. He has to understand that if his marriage is important, he has to put equal effort into maintaining the social interaction and joint attention aspects. Honestly the social interaction is far more important in marriage than in a career. He has to understand that.
I have more thoughts, but DH is hungry and wants to eat. We can continue this later if you like.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I'm still processing the job loss. I went to my dance class and jumped around and felt silly in a good way, so I'm glad I did that.
It's true, I do need the income because I basically support us, we are in debt from 2 years of me not working and a bunch of unexpected expenses last year, and I'm burned out on the job search process. This will be the 3rd time in less than a year, whereas my previous contracts were all 2 years or more. Also, despite my complaints, I like this job. My teammates are cool, my boss is nice. I liked the autonomy and, of course, loved working from home. Yesterday, I took a call while I was dyeing my hair.
But I'm sort of getting excited at at the concentration of time I'll have to spend again with Bodhi. And I'm eligible for unemployment again, which will at least keep us afloat, I think. I can't count on getting it 100%, though. They have a few strict requirements and my employer is actually out of state, so I don't know how that all plays out.
Anyway, we'll make it work, and I'll make the best of it. I guess I should just feel fortunate to have had this position for the 6 months I've had it.
Lydia, I'll send you a PM. You're welcome to go back and edit my posts if you feel self-conscious having too much out there.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Lydia, I have nothing to offer like Mandy has, but I do empathize. You amaze me because you've handled the whole thing in such a classy way. I can only imagine how difficult it can be at times for both of you.
Myles, it sounds like you have a positive outlook on what the future holds for you and short term at least you get to spend more time with little dude and that outshines everything, doesn't it?
Ashley, that's crazy timing eh? But you have such a great summer planned with all of your travels and time off with the girls. For the best I think.
I had to call poison control tonight. For dbf.
We were just settling in to do bedtime stories when I hear him yelling my name from the other room. At first I ignored him because I was hoping he'd then find his way to where I was but he continued to yell so I started coming down the hall asking him what he was hollering about and he's all, "CALL POISON CONTROL!!". I come into the kitchen and he's leaning over the sink. So I ask what's up and again with the frantic demands for me to call poison control because he...wait for it....took. a. bite. of. a. plant.
I'm sorry. It wasn't funny at the time. He was frantically spitting into the sink telling me he was trying to tear a dead leaf and it wouldn't tear so he bit the stem. He's telling me his mouth is burning so bad he wants to die. So I'm on the phone with poison control and online at the same time trying to identify the plant and the man on the phone is telling me that while it will irritate the mouth, he'd have to eat like five leaves for any plant at all to actually hurt him. Meanwhile dbf is spitting so much out that he thinks he's foaming at the mouth and talking outloud about it but every time I ask him a question he suddenly can't speak because it hurts so much. The poison control guy asked to talk to him so I handed him the phone and he's all blurgutty flubberty. I told him to talk normal like he just did to me 30 seconds ago. He is just too much sometimes!
Oh, the dramatics around her I tell you! The poor kids were so scared while I kept telling them daddy was fine he was just scared because even grown men get scared sometimes.
After him and I were both laughing about him freaking out so bad and I told him he should try to maintain composure when the kids are around in situations like that because they get really scared. He said I had no idea how it felt on his tongue so I can't say that I would have been able to keep my cool.
I told him I maintained my composure while I gave birth to Sawyer so I wouldn't freak the kids out. That shut him up.

Oh, I'm so glad I decided to log in at midnight. That story is hilarious, Bridget!
I once had to call poison control too because when Bodhi was 8 months old, he reached over from his bouncy chair and took a bite out of an epiphyllum plant. It was funny too, because we'd just introduced solids to him and I'd just been complaining to moms in my DD room that I just couldn't get him interested in eating. Hee. Anyway, I'm glad M is okay.
Ash - maybe they would consider you for the manager position anyway if you really want it?
You guys, I'm not doing so hot tonight. I'm feeling a little sorry for myself, I guess. I had called DH with the job news earlier in the day, and on my way home, I started getting angry again at my DH for depending on me financially. I began to wonder if there was anything he could say to make me feel better, and it was with that mindset - me doubtfully watchful of whether or not he could lift my spirits - that I walked in through the door. Bodhi was on the couch, so after saying hi to DH who was cooking at the time, I just sat down next to Bodhi, who absent-mindedly snuggled into me while he kept on doing what he was doing. DH sat on the opposite couch and asked me if I wanted to cry. I nodded that I did, and he told me to come over to him and have a cry. That was nice of him. Maybe he thought I was disappointed, and I am, but I don't think he realized the cry was also because I am just plain stressed out from the weight of having to take care of us moneywise. Heck, I was unhappy about it to begin with even before the prospect of unemployment. And as the night wore on, I was just ... I don't know ... waiting for him to say something that was take-charge and reassuring, and there was nothing he could tell me. The most hopeful and honest thing he could say about the situation was: "Don't worry. You'll find another job."
Maybe this is just wishful thinking, but I would have hoped to have married a man who could solve a problem by saying "Here's what I'm gonna do to make this better for us." It just never feels that way. It always feels like I'm the one leading us through crises and so I feel very alone at the moment.
Then when we got into bed, we talked about it again and the conversation didn't go so well. He just gave me more of his pep talk about how *I* was going to get us out of this mess. I snorted and said, "Uh, yeah, *I'll* take care of us". And in lame passive-aggressive fashion, I started crying and told him I wished I some sort of parental figure in my life who could step in and take care of me. I said it out of frustration, in response to being annoyed with his words. I knew I was telegraphing a criticism to him by saying that. He got the memo, and said "Well, I'm so sorry I can't take care of you through this. I guess starting a business was the wrong thing to do."
Now I feel guilty for making him feel bad about himself, I mean, it was like shooting fish in a barrel. I can't realistically expect him to suddenly become able to save the day, and I criticized him for it anyway. I should have handled that better. I guess, overall though, I'm still stunned by how our financial dynamic ended up this way. 3 tax returns ago, with him working as the chief of the studio down south, the two of us had the best year ever. It's not that I couldn't picture his fledgling business not doing well, it's just that I guess I envisioned that after a couple of net loss years, he'd mobilize to do something different to change his income picture. I never dreamed he'd accept such a huge income disparity lying down, that I'd ever hear him argue the case for retiring on MY efforts. Right now, I just don't see him with any ideas, no plan except to wait for more work to come in and to use the excuse that "my field just doesn't pay as much as yours."
I think I'm truly more disappointed at DH's inability to think and act to help us as a family than I am about ending another job contract. He's a sweet guy, but honestly, I wish I had more of a father figure to take care of me. (Don't get me started on my dad, who definitely has never been a strong leader.) DH wants to be that father figure, but in a superficial way.
As for everything you described about your financial situation and how your dh is in dealing with this enormously stressful time, he sounds exactly like my dh. I can absolutely relate to the frustration, anger, and resentment of not only being the primary breadwinner, but also the one that 'carries' the family and navigates through all the turmoil. I've so badly wanted 'someone' to take care of me, or tell me what to do, so many times it's not even funny. My heart goes out to you. I know that feeling too well.
In your dh's defense, and I'm sure you already know this, but it can take a few years before a business really takes off. Not that I've ever started my own business, so take my thoughts with a grain of salt if you will, but my feeling is that if there's any way possible for him to continue plugging along at it then he should. Providing, of course, that y'all are making it. Albeit, very stressfully. I know it's uncertain and it's easier said than done. I'm 100% positive I'd be wishing my dh were going to do something with more certainty in income if I were in your shoes, so I don't mean to minimize your feelings at all.

Hugs Myles I understand what you mean. I don't think I have very helpful advice but I wanted you to know I read it.
DH and I owned a business. It was tough and just as it was starting to make a profit we decided it was too much. Josh was a baby and DH was also working full time at Comcast. I had to cover a lot of hours at the business because he did not have reliable employees (they were his friends, who turned out to not really be his friends, but that's another story) which I resented and I just felt it was hurtful to our relationship.
Owning a business is tough. Maybe if he's stuck in a mindset that may not be right for making the best profit, you can help him see another perspective.

Rockstar VP Speaks Out on Casual Gaming, WiiRockstar vice president and Grand Theft Auto IV co-writer Dan Houser said that though the gaming industry has shifted progressively towards casual experiences and a broader market, his company will stick to large-scale productions.
"Fuck all this stuff about casual gaming," Houser told New York Magazine. "I think people still want games that are groundbreaking. The Wii is doing something totally different, which is fantastic."
"We're hopefully going to prove that there's also a very big audience for people who want entertainment in another form, who think of games as being a narrative device that can challenge movies," he added.
Houser noted that future Rockstar productions will continue to focus on themes similar to those established in previous titles.
"They're gonna be about themes that interest us whatever the medium, instead of the weird, special video game-only themes that too many people make—orcs and elves, or monsters, or space," he said. "We felt you could make a good game and have it be about something we could actually relate to. Or aspire to."

It's the end of an era.
The NCAA will no longer allow Electronic Arts, Inc., to use its name or any other trademarks in future video games. The EA Sports brand will no longer have access to the governing body's intellectual property beyond the current contract, meaning NCAA Football 2014 will be the final title to do so. The decision stems from a lawsuit by former college athletes of alleged use of their likenesses.
I am not sure how I feel about the suit. I am not in favor of paying college athletes beyond their scholarships, but these young men and women should not be expected to produce golden eggs for their schools. I do know that I am sad to see an icon of both sports and video games go away after all these years and titles.

The Wisconsin Badger football team will not play in the Big Ten Championship game this year. Ohio State and Michigan State have earned their spots. But the Badgers continue to win and are now poised for a possible BCS at-large berth and an invite to one of the big bowls. They have risen to 15th in the BCS standings after their win over Minnesota on Saturday. The top 14 in the poll have a shot at a BCS game. Alot of the talk as been about the two-headed rushing attack of Melvin Gordon and James White but equally as important to the Badger success has been the stoutness of the defense. They havent given up a touchdown in the last two weeks. And a big part of that defense is Chris Borland. He continues to be a beast out there. Flying to the football playing sideline to sideline and always playing with a high motor. Its hard to take your eyes off him when Wisconsin's defense is on the field. He is the proverbial difference maker. I've done alot of high school football games over the years and the gut he most reminds me of is Mark Zalewski. Zalewski was a two-way standout at Wausau East back in the early 2000's who later had a solid, if injury plagued career as a linebacker at Wisconsin. Like Borland, Zalewski was undersized but tough and fast and made plays all over the field. Borland has been able to fight through his injuries and continue to play at the highest level and if the Badgers make a big bowl game, a big reason will be the play of Chris Borland. Can he stay healthy enough to play at the next level? I think injuries would be the only thing that will keep him from playing on Sundays.
James White continues to amaze. How can a guy who played two years behind Montee Ball(who led the nation in touchdowns) be the active leader in touchdowns right now? You can see White having a nice NFL career can' you?
It was a bit surprising to me that Matt Flynn was able to do what he
did yesterday. Yes he gave the Packers a spark in the second half but
I'm not going to go as gaga as the announcers and twitter reporters
were. Let's face it...a big part of that comeback was the ineptitude and
stupid penalties from the Vikings...and the play of Eddie Lacy. How
could Minnesota continue to not cover Lacy out of the backfield?
I've also decided to avoid social media on game-days. The vitriol and
criticism of even veteran reporters is too annoying. I'm used to fans
being as fickle as they are...but when reporters believe that they know
better than the coaching staff as to who should be playing...and why
certain players are struggling in games...it's become too much.
The Badger men's basketball team is 7-0 and head to Mexico where they will play St. Louis on Tuesday...the Pointer men's hockey team is 8-0 after winning two more games over the weekend. They play at Eau Claire this weekend.

I've never been crazy about pumpkin pie or pies in general which saves me a few calories during the Holidays. I do, however, lack self control when it comes to these pumpkin bars! They're even better with cream cheese frosting which is really easy to make. You can skip the chainsaw & pumpkin and just buy a can at the store but it's not as much fun.
Here's what you need for the bars:
2 cups sifted flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup oil
2 cups pumpkin (small can)
Preheat oven to 350. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl. Make a well in the middle and add the wet ingredients. Mix well & pour into greased jelly roll pan. Bake 25 minutes then set aside to cool.
Mix together: 3/4 stick butter, 3 oz. cream cheese, 1 tbs. cream, 1 tsp vanilla & 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar. spread over cooled bars.

The decidedly pro-gun Michigan legislature has to holster its intentions to permit weapons in schools, sports arenas, and other public places.Without fanfare and with no public announcement Sen. Mike Green (R-Mayville) has been told to back off by the senate GOP leadership."Right now nobody wants to seem to take it up," he reflects on the harsh reality of a senate. Senators are inching into a pre-election year mode when those seeking to hang onto their seats are getting antsy about tackling sticky issues such as guns in schools.Sen. Green is eager to get going but the senate GOP leadership has other thoughts. "I've been told the budget, transportation funding and other issues" have moved into the higher priority category which is code forget that stuff for now.So how long will he remain on hold?"I have no idea," he reflects.He's been here before as his gun bill sat around for most of last year when suddenly it popped out in lame duck only to be ambushed by the school shooting in Connecticut.The bill sat on the governor's desk for a time, but soon Mr. Green and friends were told, not now. There was no way Mr. Snyder could sign it in the wake of that shooting disaster.Yet, Mr. Green still believes this is the right thing to do. "It's all about giving folks the chance to protect themselves," he repeats for the umpteenth time, but nobody seems to be listening.Until and unless Senate GOP leader Randy Richardville (R-Monroe) gives the green light, Mr. Green is stuck. He understands the game. Just because you want something, if the leader doesn't, you will wait."I'm at the mercy of the leadership," Mr. Green acknowledges as the facts of legislative life. While the education lobby goes, thank the Lord for that.

useful to count events in logs
Detect duplicate UID in you /etc/passwd (or GID in /etc/group file).
Duplicate UID is often forbidden for it can be a security breach.
This works on Mac OS X using the `md5` command instead of `md5sum`, which works similarly, but has a different output format. Note that this only prints the name of the duplicates, not the original file. This is handy because you can add `| xargs rm` to the end of the command to delete all the duplicates while leaving the original.
I make an extensive use of sudo, so I had to exclude the sudo part of the command history
This command will help you to find how many number of connection are made to given mysql and what are the different hosts connected to it with number of connection they are making.
Very useful for logs

Peaceful getaway
Our family of five (parents and three grown children - and our son's dog) thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful, well maintained home on Lake Bomoseen. The property owner was great to work with and responsive to all questions. We had lots of room to spread out inside, and acres to explore outside. The waterfront dock provided opportunities for successful fishing and lots of fun. We especially enjoyed the fire pit and the screened porch at the back of the house. Well appointed, nicely decorated, two outdoor grills - we found everything we needed and more! Beds were very comfy and baths were first rate. Highly recommend!

DETROIT (WJBK) -- A Michigan parole agent plans to interview ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick about an unreported $2,000 gift from a Chicago pastor.Corrections Department spokesman Russ Marlan says the interview Thursday will influence what action if any will be taken.Kilpatrick is on parole for a 2008 state conviction for obstruction of justice and could be sent back to prison. He's now on trial on federal corruption charges.He still owes $800,000 to Detroit and must regularly report income or gifts to the state.Kilpatrick received a $2,000 wire transfer in December from the Rev. Corey Brooks of New Beginnings Church. FOX 2's M.L. Elrick obtained video, now posted on the Corrections Department website, showing Kilpatrick getting the cash at a Walmart store in Chesterfield Township.Pastor Brooks says he wired the money after Kilpatrick sent him a letter pleading for help. He says he did nothing illegal by sending Kilpatrick the money, which he says came from church funds. "He didn't render any sort of work for it. It was a gift. It was a benevolence gift," Brooks insisted to FOX 32 News. "It was a Christmas gift."Kilpatrick calls the matter "trivial" and says "the rules are different for me."Attorney Daniel Hajji says Kilpatrick wasn't trying to pull a fast one. "He's been a model parolee," said Hajji.- The Associated Press contributed to this report

When white is too white
Money laundering, financial sanctions and their impact on financial institutions
Money laundering and financial sanctions
As money laundering schemes become more complex and sophisticated and the volume of such schemes continues to amplify, financial institutions are increasingly faced first, with the risks associated with money laundering, second, with the need to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations imposed by regulatory bodies and governments across the globe and ultimately, with the risk of becoming a sanctioned entity as a result of suspected intentional participation, or unintentional facilitation of money laundering. The risks that financial institutions are facing, especially those operating in the Middle East and North Africa region (MENA), have intensified as financial sanctions are imposed on governments, financial institutions and individuals across the region, especially politically exposed persons (PEPs).
Financial institutions are particularly aware of, and are focusing on, the need for the adequate evaluation of risk of exposure to PEPs, especially in the wake of recent events and developments across the Arab world and increase in the number of firms, PEPs and governments even, that have been subject to sanctions by global authorities.
Financial institutions are now required to exercise more scrutiny over transactions made by PEPs and to assess and consider their own ability to verify the sources of funds that flow into their accounts because in many instances, these have become sanctioned parties by global authorities, sometimes overnight.
With these financial institutions' operations expanding globally, the repercussions of non-compliance with AML regulations and risk of financial sanctions is greater – their need for continuous assessment of changes in the political and economic environment is hence crucial.
Impact of non-compliance
Failure to comply with AML laws and regulations and breaches of financial sanctions can have serious consequences: punitive fines, criminal proceedings, damaged reputations and sanctioning – all crystal clear motivations to justify efforts of compliance.
All the consequences listed above can lead to serious damage to a financial institution's credibility and performance. Becoming a sanctioned party due to breaches of financial sanctions can be even more damaging.
Becoming sanctioned by one or more global bodies considerably reduces, if not halts, a financial institution's ability to provide for and cater to its international customers' needs for performing global transactions. Notwithstanding that financial sanctioning, which includes the freezing of assets by counterparties, will result in tremendous pressure on the sanctioned financial institution's liquidity.
The above consequences could and have, in some instances, led to a sanctioned financial institution's complete inability to continue operations and therefore, its demise as a viable ongoing concern.
Mitigating responses
Faced with evolving and increasing AML laws and regulations and financial sanctions that impose stringent compliance requirements and impose severe repercussions in instances of non-compliance, financial institutions are increasingly aware of the need for further substantial investment in systems and human capital to assess, manage and mitigate the perils of non-compliance, whether due to intentional staff breaches, error, or a breakdown in the systems and processes implemented.
Investment in systems and processes
The need to consider the solutions available, whether moving towards a single platform approach, outsourcing, or upgrading and developing the existing systems to satisfy anti-money laundering and financial sanctions needs is a major concern for senior management. These need to assess the risks and advantages of each of the available solutions and need to ensure that adequate controls and reviews are in place over the systems implemented, irrespective of the solution adopted, as responsibility for compliance with AML regulations and financial sanctions lies, ultimately, on the management, whether compliance is undertaken internally or outsourced.
In addition to investing in compliance systems and processes, financial institutions are under pressure to increase their investment in systems and resources to enable timely and adequate assessment of the impact on operations, profitability and financial position of financial sanctions being imposed on neighboring governments and other financial institutions. Financial institutions are now also investing in developing strategies to deal with the difficulties and effects of the changes in the business environment to respond to the restrictions imposed on transacting with sanctioned parties.
Investment in human capital
Financial institutions need to ensure that their staff possess the appropriate knowledge, competencies, awareness and understanding of anti-money laundering regulations and financial sanctions, especially staff charged with developing and implementing compliance systems, processes and controls and internal audit staff. Spending on staff training is continuously growing as financial institutions become aware of the consequences of non-compliance arising from staff error or ignorance of procedures.
Senior management responsibility
Ensuring that effective and consistent systems and controls operate across the organization and that adequate resources are allocated is a crucial senior management responsibility. Senior management commitment is required to ensure that policies and procedures are developed to address money laundering issues and financial sanctions and compliance with applicable and related regulations.
Management has taken a risk-based approach towards anti-money laundering compliance and financial sanctions breaches. Without understanding the regulations and the anti-money laundering regulations and financial sanctions regimes, risk assessments undertaken by financial institutions are likely to be inaccurate and consequently, systems and controls put in place to prevent non-compliance might not be effective or efficient.
Risks associated with non-compliance with anti-money laundering laws and regulations and how to deal with financial sanctions imposed by global bodies and risks associated with ensuring compliance with them should be high on the agendas of board of directors, executive management and risk committees at financial institutions, especially those operating in the MENA region.
Financial institutions have to be increasingly proactive and vigilant in their daily operations and transactions to deal with the conflicting and overlapping sanctions regimes in addition to continuous efforts to comply with anti-money laundering regulations. Regular risk assessment reviews are a priority for financial institutions that are striving to maintain operationally effective systems.

I confess that had we had twins, we seriously were thinking of Frederick. Having a Freddie and Teddy. Or I liked Edward....Eddie and Teddy.
I have twins on my mom's side of the family so combining that with fertility drugs (especially since I do ovulate on my own)....we were at a higher risk for that.
