<!--{13439480292530}--The University of Southern California just announced that it was starting a think tank with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and appointing the former governor as a professor of state and global policy.
This news has provoked predictable snickering and worse, most of it involving whether this is merely a trade of USC's prestige for Schwarzenegger's money and fame.
That snickering should stop. I wrote a book about Schwarzenegger and know USC fairly well, and this strikes me as a very smart and natural partnership that should be good not only for the governor and USC, but also for students and for Los Angeles as a whole.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Whatever you think of Schwarzenegger politically or personally, he is a smart man and natural student, who knows more about more things than almost anyone I ever met. And this new gig fits his strengths.
As governor, he was terrific at doing what a think tank does—bringing together the best thinkers from across the spectrum, and synthesizing new policy. His proposals in various policy areas were praised as bipartisan and thoughtful.
What the governor wasn't as good at was turning those proposals into action, particularly on fiscal matters, sometimes because of his own political weaknesses, sometimes because the state's broken governing system got in the way.
But those failures will be useful to this new enterprise, as Schwarzenegger can apply what he learned from defeats (and maybe teach people how not to repeat them).
Schwarzenegger isn't exactly professorial in mien (though it'd be funny to see him wearing tweed), but his students will consider themselves lucky.
He has a command of policy – and the various schools of thought – in a host of areas, with particular strengths in environment, energy, and political reform. And he can leaven lectures with entertaining anecdotes.
The guy is not a lightweight. I learned more from my time talking to and observing Schwarzenegger than I did in four years at Harvard.
One caution to students: Schwarzenegger has a history of being demanding about scripts and speeches, so I wouldn't expect him to be an easy grader of your papers.
Schwarzenegger's own academic record was undistinguished. I shudder to think what his former middle-school teachers back in Graz would say when informed that such a middling student had become a professor at a distinguished American university.
His bachelor's degree is from the University of Wisconsin's Superior campus.
But he did get some experience as a teacher there.
While a student there 30 years ago, Schwarzenegger, already famous as a bodybuilder, gave a series of lectures on physical education that were smart and heavily subscribed (Note to the governor: some of the humor from those 1979 sessions would not be appropriate today, if it ever was).
And what about those of us who don't get to go to USC?
The good news is that Schwarzenegger will be devoting his time and his money to a vital Los Angeles institution.
Universities all over the world would have happily grabbed him, and USC did LA a public service by keeping him at home.
The think tank will host public symposia. So Schwarzenegger should be able to draw speakers and thinkers and students and money to LA that otherwise might not have come.
Fight on, Professor Schwarzenegger! See you 'round campus.

What is the most important information I should know about citalopram?
You should not use citalopram if you also take pimozide, or if you are being treated with methylene blue injection.
Do not use this medicine if you have used an MAO inhibitor in the past 14 days, such as isocarboxazid, linezolid, methylene blue injection, phenelzine, rasagiline, selegiline, or tranylcypromine.
Some young people have thoughts about suicide when first taking an antidepressant. Stay alert to changes in your mood or symptoms. Report any new or worsening symptoms to your doctor.
Citalopram is not approved for use in children.
What is citalopram?
Citalopram is an antidepressant in a group of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
Citalopram is used to treat depression.
Citalopram may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking citalopram?
You should not use this medicine if you are allergic to citalopram or escitalopram (Lexapro), or if you also take pimozide.
Do not use citalopram if you have used an MAO inhibitor in the past 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur. MAO inhibitors include isocarboxazid, linezolid, methylene blue injection, phenelzine, rasagiline, selegiline, tranylcypromine, and others.
To make sure citalopram is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
- a bleeding or blood clotting disorder;
- liver or kidney disease;
- narrow-angle glaucoma;
- seizures or epilepsy;
- heart disease, heart failure, a heart rhythm disorder, slow heartbeats, or recent history of heart attack;
- personal or family history of Long QT syndrome;
- an electrolyte imbalance (such as low levels of potassium or magnesium in your blood);

- a history of drug abuse or suicidal thoughts.
Some young people have thoughts about suicide when first taking an antidepressant. Your doctor should check your progress at regular visits. Your family or other caregivers should also be alert to changes in your mood or symptoms.
Taking an SSRI antidepressant during pregnancy may cause serious lung problems or other complications in the baby. However, you may have a relapse of depression if you stop taking your antidepressant. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant. Do not start or stop taking this medicine during pregnancy without your doctor's advice.
Citalopram can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while you are using citalopram.
Do not give this medicine to anyone under 18 years old without medical advice. Citalopram is not approved for use in children.
How should I take citalopram?
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose. Do not use this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Measure liquid medicine with the dosing syringe provided, or with a special dose-measuring spoon or medicine cup. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
It may take up to 4 weeks before your symptoms improve. Keep using the medication as directed and tell your doctor if your symptoms do not improve.
Do not stop using citalopram suddenly, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor how to safely stop using this medicine.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.

There are few records of the library's activities for the middle years of the 19th century. It could be that the library was affected by the growth of the Sunday School movement with its attendant circulating libraries and the growth of Indiana University Libraries. The Civil War and the subsequent depressions of the reconstruction era could also have had impacts on the library.However, a report in the State Library's records confirms that Monroe County still maintained a public library in the courthouse during this era. By 1880 the collection had grown to 2,000 volumes. To accomodate the increase, a portion of the collection was moved into the Central School Building while some of it was given to the Indiana University Library. It would appear that at this point in the library's history, it ceased to serve the public at all, or in only a very limited manner.
In 1897, the Sorosis Club, a local women's organization, approached noted philanthropist Andrew Carnegie for a grant to build a public library in Bloomington. The Carnegie Corporation's contribution of $15,000 was rejected by the City Council because municipal government was unable to raise an adequate maintenance fund, 10% of the contribution as mandated by the corporate donor.
In 1910, the Nineteenth Century Club raised funds for the maintenance of a new library to be housed once again in the courthouse. Consequently, a library with a small number of books (900 volumes) opened in the courthouse in 1912 under the supervision of librarian, Miss Helen Barbour. This collection included children's books donated by Indiana University professor Ashton Aley.

The results are in: Julianne Hough's wedding day deserves a perfect 10.
The "Dancing With the Stars" judge married NHL star Brooks Laich on Saturday afternoon in a romantic ceremony in front of 200 guests near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, People reports.
"I don't think I ever really necessarily dreamed about my wedding as a kid," Hough told the outlet. "But I know I will always cherish and remember it for the rest of my life."
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Family and friends witnessed the couple exchange romantic vows before enjoying an evening reception.
Saturday's wedding comes almost two years after the pair announced their engagement on social media. The proposal also took place in Coeur d'Alene where Hough's grandparents live.
"When I met him it was kind of like, yeah, I knew, and I think he knew too," Hough previously told E! News. "We kind of knew it was going to happen."
Julianne Hough &Brooks Laich: Romance Rewind
While Laich tries to keep his personal life private, the athlete couldn't help but gush over his leading lady during an interview with 106.7 The Fan.
"I don't want to get into a whole lot of it; I'm kind of shy on my personal life," he shared, "But she's a cool, cool gal. She's just a sweetheart, very loving, very giving. She puts so much great out into the world. I'm a pretty lucky guy."
Before their wedding, both Hough and Laich hosted an engagement party for their closest friends and family.
In addition, the "Grease: Live" star would enjoy a bachelorette party aboard Celebrity Cruise line as well as a bridal shower in Utah.

Peoria Internship Consortium
Internship Opportunities in Peoria
Host a Student Intern for a Semester
There are many benefits for Peoria organizations to offer internships to University of Illinois Peoria Center students. A key aspect is the value gained from employing ambitious, young talent who can provide innovative ideas based on cutting edge business theories and principles.
Our students are currently studying accounting and business administration and have earned junior or senior status with the university. The curriculum allows students to work during the normal business hours and attend classes at night. They earn college credit for the internships which motivates them to perform to meet the expectations of their supervisors.
Students and their supervisors identify and agree upon goals for the internship. They create a plan for implementation which includes specified work hours, work responsibilities, job shadowing, attendance at appropriate meetings, and regular individual meetings to assess the plan. A representative from the University of Illinois conducts a site visit to ensure that expectations of the internship are being met and offer suggestions to both the student and supervisor.
For more information on how your business, governmental, or social agency can participate in the University of Illinois Peoria Center internship program, call us at: 309.999.4847 or email us at: firstname.lastname@example.com

My target audience values quality and pays for experience. They travel and dine out and nice trendy restaurants.
They can shop at Tiffany's but also at Walmart. They appreciate good value.
I also target those who are in the unfortunate position of having no teeth (denture users)
Since women make most of the healthcare decisions in the house I would like for them to feel inspired and confident in our abilities. Similar to a spa since our office does not look like a typical dental office.
I am looking for something sophisticated and clean.
No smiling teeth or toothbrushes with happy faces.

A Private Search Engine?
That's often the refrain when I advocate for our portfolio company DuckDuckGo. Most people think Google does a fine job (they do) and don't feel the need for a private search engine.
But in the past few weeks, it has become clear to some that private means private from everyone, including the government. If a National Security Letter shows up at DuckDuckGo, there won't be anything to hand over to the Feds because DuckDuckGo does not save search behavior on its users.
That's a big deal, as evidenced by their traffic surge over the past few weeks:
If you would like to change the default search engine in your browser to DuckDuckGo, you can do that here.

Last winter I was walking the streets of San Francisco near China town area and dined at an Italian restaurant which(I don't remember the name now) served potatoes that were amazing. Inspired by that I prepared my version of grilled potato on skewers. I spiced it up because I think they taste great with some spice on them and a cooling side dip. This looks so elegant on the plate with any kind of food. A must try for all those potato lovers out there. An entry to Monthly Mingle:Grill it for the month of August hosted by Live to Eat for Meeta of Whats for Lunch Honey .
Grill of any kind
Cutting board
Oil and Ghee/Butter Mixed - 3 Tbsp
Chilli Powder- 1 tsp Sambar Powder/Curry Powder- 1 tsp
Garlic Powder
Potatos - 6
Turmeric - 1 tsp
Asafoedita - a few shakes
1. Cut the potatoes into 1/2 inch thick slices and coat with oil mix.
2. Mix all the powders and season the potatoes with it.
3. Place it on the grill that is slightly oiled.
4. Grill on both sides until you see dark brown grill marks on the potato.
5. Put it on the skewer and serve it hot with a cooling yogurt based dip on the side.

Top 10 Chris Jericho Moments
After a suspension most considered unnecessary, Chris Jericho returned to Monday Night Raw tonight. Although this return may not be amongst his best, it certainly is nice to have him back.
With that in mind, let's take a look at the 10 defining moments of Jericho's career.
10. WAR – Ultimo Dragon – July 1995
Chris Jericho had made a name for himself on the international scene long before ever becoming the "Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla." In Mexico, Jericho wrestled under the moniker "Corazon de Leon" or "Lionheart", a gimmick which has continued to stick with him throughout his career. It was on these trips to Japan and Mexico that Jericho developed his signature style that made him a favourite among wrestling purists for nearly two decades.
During his tours of Mexico, Jericho met Japanese wrestling legend-in-the-making, Ultimo Dragon. With his influence, Dragon brought Jericho to Japan where the two took part in a series of unforgettable matches that continue to influence light-heavyweight wrestlers to this day.
In particular, it was their July 1995 clash in WAR (Wrestle and Romance) that drew the interest of one Mr. Paul Heyman and the rest, as they say, is history.
9. The ECW TV Championship
It's a moment few might include in a top 10 list for Jericho, but it was matches and accomplishments like this which made Jericho a legendary competitor. On June 22, Jericho upset ECW Mainstay Pitbull #2 to capture coveted ECW TV Championship.
ECW played an integral role in helping Jericho develop his personality and skills in the ring. Competing with the likes of Chris Benoit, Taz, and 2 Cold Scorpio, Jericho added a technical aspect to his game, rounding out what was already a stellar move set.
Capping off an emotionally charged match was a top rope flying hurricanrana and an embrace between the two great wrestlers.
8. The Chyna Feud
After Jericho made his monstrous debut in the WWE, there was a lot of anticipation as to who we might see him compete against. A debuting verbal tirade on The Rock had people intrigued and a potential feud between the two had fans salivating. Instead, the WWE went in a …different route.
His first feud of note was against Chyna, who was fresh off becoming the first female to ever hold the Intercontinental Championship. Jericho in his over the top sexist attitude took offense to Chyna holding the championship and the two competed in a series of entertaining bouts over the championship.
After co-holding the title with Chyna, Jericho finally claimed it as his own at the 2000 Royal Rumble, winning a triple threat match that also included Hardcore Holly.
7. The Man of 1004 Holds
Jericho took part in numerous unforgettable feuds during his WCW tenure, but it was the Dean Malenko rivalry that proved how charismatic and talented Jericho was to the WCW audience. The two men had heated back and forth matches throughout the summer of 1998 and added some well-booked, excitement to WCW.
Perhaps my favourite moment was the unforgettable "Man of 1004 Holds" segment. After defeating Marty Jannetty and retaining his WCW Cruiserweight Championship, Jericho pulled out a lengthy stack of papers. He proclaimed it to be a list of 1004 holds he knew, of course making him better than Malenko. The only problem was that nearly every other hold on the list was an armbar. The segment sat right on the border between ridiculous and hilarious, as most of Jericho's comedy does.
6. The 2012 Return
Even if we had seen Jericho do it before, seeing him make his return is an excitable affair. In January of 2012, Jericho again returned to the WWE using a series of mysterious videos that left fans to ponder their true meaning.
Fans exploded with excitement as an invigorated looking Jericho made his entrance. He slapped hands with fans and looked genuinely happy to be returning. That was until the famous microphone magician…had nothing to say. This went on for nearly a quarter of an hour before Jericho made a bizarre exit from the arena, leaving fans puzzled yet intrigued. Some call it brilliant, others call it stupid. We'll leave it up to you to decide.
5. Shawn Michaels Feud
Since childhood, Jericho had worshipped the ground Shawn Michaels stood on. His in-ring style imitated that of Michaels and even their looks were eerily similar.
That is until Jericho's ego got in the way. He went from wanting to be like Michaels to wanting to surpass him. The two took part in a heated rivalry that led to one of the greatest Wrestlemania matches of all time. Although the two took part in an amazing rivalry in 2008, it was this feud and match that will be remembered as legendary.
4. The 2007 Return
The rumours ran rampant for weeks leading up to that November 2007 Monday Night Raw. Could it be? Could the man fired over two years before finally be returning?
Binary encoded vignettes aired saying things like THE ANSWER IS THE CODE and 2ND COMING. As WWE champion, Randy Orton was the initial target of the return. Jericho claimed to be returning to save the WWE from Orton's "monotonous robotic voice" or "child bearing hips".
3. His first WCW Championship
It was a night Chris Jericho certainly will never forget. After building a feud around the fact that Jericho "cannot win the big one", The Rock and Jericho faced off during the WCW Invasion angle at No Mercy 2001.
It was a match of epic proportions that Jericho fans still talk about to this day, even if Jericho's tactics were less than respectable.
When Jericho finally "won the big one", there was a look of jubilation in his eyes which cannot be faked. Wrestling was Jericho's life and finally he was getting the credit he so rightfully deserved.
2. The Y2J Problem
Chris Jericho's WWE debut in July of 2009 was the dawning of a new era in professional wrestling. The days of shocking debuts and surprises were over. The internet gave fans an entirely new look behind the curtain and they seemingly knew what was going to happen before the writers even did.
Everyone and their mother knew it was going to be Jericho who walked through that curtain on August 9, 1999. The building was filled with signs welcoming Jericho to the WWF. This is why it was so crucial that Jericho and The Rock put on a stellar performance, and so they did. A hilarious back and forth verbal battle took place that fans will never forget.
1. The Undisputed Champion
Could it have been any other moment? Jericho never let anyone forget that on December 9, 2001 it was him that beat Steve Austin and The Rock in the same night to capture the WWE Undisputed World Heavyweight Championship.
The win made Jericho a main-event star for the following decade. Jericho's title reign would last until Wrestlemania 18, when Jericho finally main event his first Wrestlemania, losing the championship to Triple H.

President Aleksandr Lukashenko presided over one of the world's most censored nations, continuing policies that sought to suffocate critical journalism and dissenting opinion. At least four reporters, all of them known for critical coverage, were barred from traveling outside the country in March. Another four reporters were jailed during the year, while numerous others faced threats, harassment, fines, and assaults. The government's repressive practices were illustrated by its harsh reaction to a Swedish ad agency stunt in which hundreds of teddy bears pinned with press freedom slogans were airdropped over the country. The KGB jailed one reporter who covered the stunt, and interrogated and fined two others who published photos and stories about the airdrop. The episode led to the sacking of top army generals and a foreign minister, along with the expulsion of the Swedish ambassador. The country grew increasingly isolated during the year. In February, the government expelled Polish and European Union ambassadors after the EU widened travel bans against Belarusian officials due to the country's human rights failures. Lukashenko himself was subjected to an embarrassing travel restriction: He was barred from the 2012 Olympic Games in London because of an EU travel ban imposed after Minsk harshly cracked down on election protests in December 2010. In September 2012, the country's parliamentary election was marred by reports that election officials obstructed opposition candidates seeking to register, that state-controlled media refused to grant opposition candidates equitable coverage, and that the KGB cracked down on online activists. Throughout the year, critical media--both local and international--faced domestic blocking online, denial of accreditation, and distribution hurdles.
CPJ ranks Belarus among the 10 Most Censored Countries. in the world. The government employs politicized prosecutions of journalists; travel bans against critical reporters; debilitating raids on independent newsrooms; and wholesale confiscation of newspapers and reporting equipment.
1. Eritrea
2. North Korea
3. Syria
4. Iran
5. Equatorial Guinea
6. Uzbekistan
7. Burma
8. Saudi Arabia
9. Cuba
10. Belarus
Studio Total, a Swedish advertising agency, airdropped hundreds of teddy bears bearing press freedom slogans over Belarus in July to call attention to the country's repressive practices. After Anton Suryapin published photos about the stunt on his news website Belarusian News Photos, the KGB jailed him for 34 days. Suryapin, charged with complicity in an illegal border crossing, faced up to seven years in prison. His case was pending in late year.
July 4:
|Swedish advertising agency representatives fly over Belarus and airdrop teddy bears.
July 5:
|Despite evidence to the contrary, the defense ministry denies that foreign aircraft had entered the nation's air space.
July 13:
|The KGB raids Suryapin's apartment in Minsk, confiscating his equipment and taking him into custody.
July 31:
|Lukashenko sacks army generals for violation of air space. The KGB demands the Swedes come to Belarus for interrogation. The demand is ignored.
August 8:
|Belarus expels Swedish diplomats over the episode.
The authorities jailed at least four critical reporters during the year on retaliatory charges ranging from hooliganism to organizing mass rallies. Among the detainees was Andrzej Poczobut, a prominent reporter for the largest Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza, who was jailed in June on charges of insulting President Lukashenko in articles critical of government policies. After an international outcry, including protests from CPJ, the authorities released Poczobut in June pending trial.
|Aleksandr Borozenko is sentenced to 11 days in jail for organizing a mass rally. He had covered a one-person anti-government vigil.
|Pavel Sverdlov is sentenced to 15 days on charges of hooliganism for supposedly using coarse language in public. Witnesses disputed the allegation.
|Andrzej Poczobut is held for nine days on insult charges. His case was pending in late year.
|Anton Suryapin is held by the KGB for 34 days on illegal border crossing charges, which were pending in late year.
In June, Irina Khalip received a package containing a severed chicken head, the latest in a years-long effort to intimidate the award-winning journalist, a contributor to the Moscow newspaper Novaya Gazeta. Khalip filed a complaint about the threat, but police reported no progress.
December 2009:
|She receives threatening messages by email and phone, warning her to stop reporting.

May 2011:
|Khalip is handed a suspended two-year prison term on mass disorder charges. Sannikov is sentenced to five years; he is pardoned in 2012 and flees to the U.K., where is he granted asylum.

Change Becomes Effective upon Spin-off of North American Grocery Business
May 23, 2012, 12:08 ET
NORTHFIELD, Ill., May 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The shareholders of Kraft Foods Inc. (NYSE: KFT) voted today to change the name of the company to Mondelez International, Inc. The proposal was approved by more than 90 percent of the shareholders who cast a vote(1). The new name will become effective at the time of the planned spin-off of the company's North American grocery business.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120523/CG12284LOGO)
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090420/KRAFTLOGO)
As previously announced, Kraft Foods Inc. is dividing to create two industry-leading public companies: a high-growth global snacks business (Mondelez International, Inc.) and a high-margin North American grocery business (Kraft Foods Group, Inc.).
"Mondelez has an appealing international sound that perfectly evokes the idea of a 'delicious world.' That's the essence of our global snacks company," said Irene Rosenfeld, Chairman and CEO. Rosenfeld reinforced that Mondelez International will become the new name of the corporation, not a consumer brand. Mondelez will serve as an umbrella for the company's many iconic product brands, including Cadbury, Jacobs, LU, Milka, Nabisco, Oreo, Tang and Trident.

Missed another good opportunity to get some Clone Wars inspired characters out there, rats.
Part of me is bummed, but mostly about EU characters over PT... PT, I'm PT'd out at this point. They're inferior movies, and the toys were overdone. Maybe just my take on it, but I'm really over that stuff at this point.I'm bummed about that droid sure, but really that's about it. I can't think of anything else I care about. Lots of stuff I'd have LIKED to have gotten, like Office Duel Palps maybe being the only thing I really wish I'd gotten, but otherwise it's really just a lot of stuff I won't miss. Sometimes I look at my PT stuff and just shake my head at this point.

Every Man's
We all long to fulfill our destiny, some of us spend a lifetime trying to identify what our destiny is and what you must do to achieve it. There was a time when I thought my only destiny was to win a Superbowl, after reading Kingdom Man, I was reminded God has more in store for all of us & greatness is awaiting if we follow God's plan. Kingdom Man will allow you to focus on what you are destined for and how to achieve your destiny.
Leslie Frazier
Every woman wants a Kingdom Man. Maybe she can't find the words to describe what she's longing for but she knows him when she sees him - the unmistakable sense of purpose, the reputation marked by integrity, the willingness to be a strong leader and tender caregiver at the same time - this is what she desires. And this is the reason why every woman should read this book - to be able to spot a man worth committing to while steering clear of his counterfeit peers. The man of every woman's dream is the man found in these pages.
Priscilla Shirer
Bible Teacher and Author
If you want to experience all that God has destined for you, Kingdom Man is a must-read.

A Newark man claiming to be from Ghana was arrested at Walmart for identity theft and credit-card fraud when he allegedly tried to pick up three laptops bought online, police said.
Gabriel Agyapong, 21, was arrested at the West Edgar Road store Tuesday afternoon and later charged with theft by deception, two counts of identity theft, and two counts of fraudulent use of a credit card, said Lt. James Sarnicki of the Linden police.
Agyapong was attempting to pick up three Asus laptop computers valued at $458 apiece, which were purchased through two separate credit card transactions online, Sarnicki said. The store contacted the police after checking on the transaction, he added.
Agyapong told the officers that he was only following instructions e-mailed to him by a friend in Ghana, police said.
The police then contacted the two cardholders, who live in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Both said they hadn't made the purchases – and hadn't given anyone the authority to make the online purchases, Sarnicki said.
Agyapong told officers he is originally from Ghana. He gave a Newark address as his current residence. Sarnicki said the police department is checking with Immigration Customs and Enforcement to find out more about Agyapong's background.
He is currently being held at the Union County Jail on $82,500 bail, police said.
The investigation is continuing, police said.
"This credit card fraud is becoming quite common," Sarnicki said. "It's a big part of our job right now."

Americans, or at least most of us (myself certainly included), are fascinated with acronyms – "a word formed from the initial letter or letters of each of the successive parts or major parts of a compound term". Like FYI for For Your Information.
The world of emails and text messaging has created a whole new appreciation for and vocabulary of acronyms – BTW (By The Way), LOL (Laughing Out Loud), MIRL (Meet In Real Life), TFB (guess). I found an online Internet Acronyms Dictionary and discovered that AAAAA was not a group for drunk drivers but the American Association Against Acronym Abuse.
Government, at all levels, has always been famous for its acronyms. We all know what the FBI, the CIA, and the DMV are. And, thanks to television, we are also aware of SWAT, JAG, CSI and NCIS. The military is especially enamored of the practice. A PFC could be promoted to become a CPO. In military speak PABST does not refer to Blue Ribbon Beer but to Primary Adhesive Bonded Structure Technology. And let's not forget the infamous WMDs – Weapons of Mass Destruction.
A lonely SSM (Single Straight Male) might place a personal ad for a SWF (Single White Female. Or he might surf the "escort" sites to look for a BBW (Big Beautiful Woman) who provides a GFE (Girl Friend Experience).
Some acronyms have become actual words. A classic example is "snafu", a military acronym for Situation Normal, All Fouled (not the original word) Up. The word "radar" is actually an acronym for RAdio Detection And Ranging, as the word "laser" is for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
I was told many years ago by, I think, a teacher that the "n" word for persons of Puerto Rican extraction came from a US Immigration category stamped on the papers of certain individuals arriving on Ellis Island – Spanish, Portuguese, Indian and Colored - although I cannot find any real documentation of this online. I do know for a fact that I am a WASP (While Anglo Saxon Protestant).
It is, however, an "urban legend" that the "n" word for Italians came from the fact that, as illegal aliens in the 30s and 40s, they were With Out Papers, or With Out Passport. The real derivation of "wop", according to Wikepedia, "is the Neapolitan 'guappo', meaning dude or thug. The word defines those who belong to the Guapperia o 'Camorra', a criminal organization similar to the Sicilian Mafia located mostly in the province of Campania."
Acronyms are certainly in frequent use in my profession – taxes. The AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) has been around for at least as long as I have been in the business, and is now paired with the non-gift bearing MAGI (Modified Adjusted Gross Income). We have all become familiar with the dreaded AMT (Alternative Minimum Tax) lately.
TRA 86 (the Tax Reform Act of 1986) created a whole new set of acronyms. Under TRA 86 a PAL (Passive Activity Loss) needs a PIG (Positive Income Generator). There is ACRS (Accelerated Cost Recovery System) and MACRS (Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System), both the result of FACRS (Foolhardy Acts of Congress under the Ruse of Simplification).
Many taxpayers save for retirement with either an IRA (Individual Retirement Account), a SEP (Simplified Employee Pension plan) or a SIMPLE (Savings Incentive Match PLan for Employees). One of the more complicated areas of the Tax Code concerns the NOL (Net Operating Loss).
As I have said before at THE WANDERING TAX PRO, I have often found errors in tax returns prepared by a CPA.
I belong to the NATP (National Association of Tax Professionals) and the NSTP (National Society of Tax Professionals) – as well as AAA (Automobile Association of America) and AARP (American Association of Retired Persons). Over the years I have also briefly belonged to the ASTP (American Society of Tax Professionals) and the NSA (National Society of Accountants). I have often attended tax seminars sponsored by the CSEA (California Society of Enrolled Agents).
I have been having fun with acronyms for years. During my 20+ years as the accountant for the NJ Center for Visual Arts in Summit (formerly the Summit Art Center, and now the Center for Visual Arts of New Jersey) I used them on checks, memos and cards to colleagues. It all started when a payday happened to fall on February 14th and I wrote "HVD" on the memo line of the employees' checks. It took them a while to realize that I was saying "Happy Valentine's Day". If payday fell on an employee's birthday I would write "HASB" (Have A Successful Birthday) or something to that effect on the check. It got to a point that we would send each other messages in only initials and the fun was trying to figure out what was being said.
Back before my mentor Jim Gill retired and handed me his tax practice he had given me a return to work on. Included with the client's "stuff" was a listing of deductions on which there was one item whose nature I was unsure of. So I wrote "WTF?" next to it and put it in the "Need More Information" box. A few days later Jim said that the client had been in and they were not sure what I had meant – but thought it might be "What's This For?". I told him he was close, but it actually stood for "What The F***?"
I use certain specific acronyms in my blog postings. Those of you who read THE WANDERING TAX PRO are aware that I hate GD extensions. A client asked what the GD stood for and I told him "exactly what you think it stands for!" It is not Government Deferred or anything like that. I often speak ill of the DFB's in Trenton or Washington, a reference to our federal and state elected representatives, and provide the "clean" version as Damned Fool Bureaucrats, although that is not really what it stands for. When I discuss a FU you could interpret this as a Foul Up, but you would be wrong. Again, it is exactly what you think it stands for. FFR is For Future Reference and SGTM is Sounds Good To Me.
Depending on which blog of mine you are visiting, I end each day's postings with either TTFN (Ta Ta For Now – THE WANDERING TAX PRO) or TAFN (That's All For Now – NJ TAX PRACTICE BLOG).
FYI, you can find out what any acronym, abbreviation, or initialism stands for at Acronym Finder or Abbreviations.com.

Busarin Handcrafted jewelry
"Most of my patterns display butterflies, dragonflies, flowers and other images that put people and nature back together."
"My name is Busarin Hutawarakorn, and I was born on June 30, 1975, the youngest of three sisters. After I graduated from the university, I did some disc jockeying but felt that this job did not reflect who I was and what I wanted. Indeed I wanted to be independent and earn a living from something I love.
"The idea of making jewelry came not only because I love jewelry but also because it goes along so well with women. I initially bought and resold items, but gradually started making them myself. I chose easy patterns and low prices but customers came to me with different needs, asking for better items regardless of the price. Therefore, I started using higher quality materials and designed patterns accordingly.
"My jewelry is skillfully handmade with delicate patterns. I always pay attention to new or different things that might inspire me.
"Although I could draw my inspiration from pop culture, mostly I prefer to help get society more in touch with the natural environment. Most of my patterns display butterflies, dragonflies, flowers and other images that put people and nature back together.
"My mood affects my designs ~ when I'm feeling low, my designs are somewhat dark, and when I'm feeling happy they ate bright and colorful.
"All of our friends are amazed at our success with Novica. Novica makes it possible for us to earn at least 40 percent of each sale, which is unheard of in the international market. With this extra margin, we have been able to accomplish some wonderful things locally, too, including donating regularly to an orphanage. We are especially glad to help participate in giving needy children a chance to live and grow.
"I am single woman dedicated to my work. However, one day at a party I met an old friend from school. He got my phone number from some friends we have in common, and two days later he called me, when I was at the Novica offices! I had to tell him I was busy, but we spoke later, and our relationship has been growing ever since."

This commemoration of all things artichoke has travelers from far and wide captivated as they get to enjoy artichokes prepared in every way imaginable! Be able to experience the touring of artichoke farms, cooking demos, artichoke-themed sculptures, plus a contest to make art out of actual artichokes!

There's something for everyone as this festival hosts outstanding live musical acts headlining both days with everything from rock n' roll, country, swing, to mariachi.

With celebration on my mind I join in on the fun, as we recently planted several artichokes of our own. With a little luck we will have home grown artichokes this year!

Here's three spots in no particular order that the Jets might try and target players at once free agency begins, even thought they might not have a lot of money to do so. I just talked with Corey about this as we taped our podcast and he named two of the three positions below ... listen to the end of the podcast later today to hear which group he chose differently.
Safety -- With Eric Smith likely a goner, and Bell and Landry both up in the air as free agents, the Jets are going to have to address the spot via free agency again even though they just used two picks in the last draft on the safety spot. Josh Bush might be ready to step and take on a larger role, but the team is going to need to find some depth at the spot this spring to provide competition this summer. Trufant and Lankster played decently last year so the Jets have to feel comfortable with their 4th and 5th corners, so depending on what happens with the Revis situation ... see if the Jets don't try and convert one of their nickel cornerbacks to the safety spot if they feel like they can't round out the spot and Revis and Cro both come back. Louis Delmas might not have been able to stay healthy for the Lions, so see if he doesn't have to take a lesser or incentive-laden deal via free agency this spring.
Wide Receiver -- This seems to be a boom or bust spot for the Jets in 2013. Santonio Holmes will be coming off his season ending injury and Stephen Hill started to show some promise right before he was injured for the season. Jeremy Kerley's play in 2012 did a lot to help the Jets alleviate some concerns about the spot as they head into 2013, but with questions about just how productive Holmes can be coming off an injury and whether or not Hill is a legit starter, there's going to be a need to find some production from outside the current roster. The draft is a hard way to gain first-year value from the spot, so the Jets seem to be left with free agency. The Jets are not going to be able to pay a big name like Anquan Boldin or Wes Welker, but the Jets are going to need to find a physical, veteran player who can bring leadership to their corps. If charged with choosing between Edwards and Schilens, re-signing Braylon Edwards might make the most sense because he might come on the cheap and has more upside productivity with the Jets. Of the names of free agents, Danny Amendola and Brian Hartline are names that have been brought up among public discourse in relation to the Jets, but they would have to be willing to take a small initial cap number in their first year with the team, much as Santonio did when he got his contract from the Jets in 2011. Of course, that would then mean backloading a deal with money that might paint the Jets into another corner regarding a receiver ...
Quarterback -- The Jets will likely at least explore what it would take to get a player like Matt Flynn or Alex Smith via trade, but the Jets would be even foolish to not try and see what it would take to get a journeyman like Matt Moore. Moore might command much of a payday, but if the Jets can work out a 2-3 year deal that would please him over the long term (not necessarily in year one) for the quarterback and promise him a legitimate shot to compete for a job (which it sounds like Idzik is in favor of) then it might be an attractive landing spot for Moore.
