Disposing of Your Medicine
Discarding medicine safely can prevent medicine misuse.
In our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) you receive structured, supportive treatment for addiction (substance-use disorder) in a group setting while staying at home with your loved ones. This program is the second-highest level of care our team offers for adults and the highest level available for our teen patients.
All of our patients first receive a thorough assessment. This assessment, which includes both a physical exam and a psychosocial exam, helps us create personalized treatment plans.
You may be a good candidate if your substance-use disorder is relatively stable but you need additional support and structure. You may step up to the Intensive Outpatient Program if you've previously tried addressing addiction on an outpatient basis without success.
The Intensive Outpatient Program includes three treatment sessions per week for six weeks. Each session lasts three hours for a total of nine hours of treatment each week. Teen patients' sessions are in the afternoons, while adult patients meet in the evenings. We schedule individual and family sessions separately as needed.
In addition to therapy, your treatment plan may include detoxification or medication-assisted treatment.
If you're successful in the Intensive Outpatient Program, you'll step down to our outpatient addiction treatment program for additional care. Adult patients who need more intensive support may need to step up to our 24-hour, residential (inpatient) treatment program.
We offer the Intensive Outpatient Program at the following locations:
Receive an outpatient assessment within seven days of when you contact us.Request Appointment
Support from other can help your recovery. We offer education programs and support groups for you and your family.Learn More

Judy Greer describes her dream coffee date -- and it'll remind you why you adore her so much
Judy Greer doesn't have a whole lot of free time. For nearly two decades, she's booked nonstop film roles, appearing in everything from rom-coms ("27 Dresses") to sci-fi ("Dawn of the Planet of the Apes") -- so it's no wonder the lady needs a caffeine boost.
"I absolutely love lattes, but I'm dairy sensitive," Greer told AOL during a recent interview. The actress relies on Lactaid Milk for a lactose-free fix, keeping her energized even through grueling filming schedules.
Typically, those coffees are going down while Greer is on set, but her dream coffee date would take place far from Hollywood: She'd love to sit across a table from Senator Elizabeth Warren. "I'm listening to her new book on Audible," Greer said. "She's so passionate and I love it."
But between both Greer and Warren's never-ending to-do lists, that coffee date may have to wait awhile. Beyond currently shooting the upcoming "Ant-Man" sequel, Greer seemingly always has a new project in the works -- but it's one of her older classics that keeps popping up when fans spot her in public.
"I've been getting recognized a lot from '13 Going on 30' lately!" Greer said. "People say that it's their go-to movie to watch with their mom or their best friend or their daughter, and that's really special to me."

Hey everyone,
So...you might be wondering where I've been lately.
For the past couple of weeks, I've been struggling to come up with new content to post on Indoor Sojourner. I want to write posts that I like and would enjoy reading if I were someone's shoes. Unfortunately, I've recently drawn a blank on forming ideas to incorporate into posts. I've also started school and an internship for StudioWed (part of which I write for their blog), so I need to put my focus on these things first.
Starting today, I'm taking a two week hiatus from posting so I can organize my thoughts and get back on track. However, I'll still be on my social media accounts (listed below and in the sidebar) and in the meantime, I'll be working slowly but surely behind the scenes on some fresh, new posts!
Thanks for understanding,

.....we'd like to invite you to stay a while and have a look around.
The Poor Bloody Infantry houses a directory of mini-reports on organisations that contribute to the general good. Check the menu on the left to see what's already available.
Join Us. Membership is free.
Members receive a round-up of the five mini-reports once a week and of course have access to all the reports currently on the site. New mini-reports are written on a regular basis.
The Poor Bloody Infantry started out as a 'gripe site' protesting against politicians on the make and bankers on the take. The original PBI were led by donkeys. The modern PBI are led by crooks.
But as we picked our way through the wreckage left by the 'casino banks', we discovered some gems: brilliant ideas which we want to share as widely as possible. The mini-reports are the result.
You can use the the Poor Bloody Infantry in several ways. For a start and importantly, you can use it to save yourself money.
Do you live in a major city? If yes, you can eliminate all car purchase costs, car insurance premiums, road tax payments, CPZ charges, MOT and repair expenses and depreciation and still drive a nearly-new, low-mileage, low-emission vehicle.There are mini-reports on City Car Club, Street Car and Zip Cars in the Transport section. Work out for yourself how much you could save. Other mini-reports will help you identify the cheapest petrol pump prices in your area, how to lift share or find a bike buddy and abandon the car altogether.
Budget airlines have dramatically reduced the cost of flying. However you can go one better and eliminate accommodation costs completely. Check out the Holidays section.
Are you being charged exorbitant rates of interest on your credit cards, store cards and loans and want to reduce them? Or do you have some spare cash you'd like to get a decent return on? Of course you would. Visit the Social Banking section and find out how you can borrow and lend without going near the big banks.
What skills can you offer? If you're prepared to exchange them you can benefit from someone else's expertise for free. Go to the Exchanges section to find out how.
Legal fees are sometimes unavoidable but there are ways to reduce them. For instance did you know you can ask solicitors to bid competitively for your business? For more on this and other ideas, check out the Legal section.
It's always nice to nurture a little bit of a dream. Perhaps a luxury apartment in Highgate, London or a Welsh pub or a 15 room house in 7 acres in the Midlands. The Auctions and Competitions sections give you that hope and more at odds vastly better to those of the National Lottery. Check out both sections.
Unhappy about something and confused about what to do? Feel you should take action but at the same time worried about the impact on your career etc. You're not alone. Check out the Whistleblowing section for some strategies.
Follow us on Twitter. If you think any of the content here might be useful to someone you know, there's a 'Send to a Friend' link at the bottom of each page. New sections will be opened up as they become ready. As well as the mini-reports we are also developing the Golden Snouts and Blob Zone pages.
Golden Snouts will be devoted to those who have thrust their noses heroically deep in the trough. We need your help. You can find stories that have particularly irritated you by using the media menu on the right navigation on the Golden Snouts page (the click-through menu is an excellent reason for bookmarking us!) In due course you will be able to vote for the Snout of the Month award. And we will try to present it.
Glass Citizens will be about civil rights concerns within the UK and where there has been UK involvement, concerns elsewhere in the world. Our view is that if we are to be 'glass-citizens' then we had better make sure we live in a 'glass-state'.
The Blob Zone: We need your help here too. What sites do you know of that will assist, entertain or amuse other PBIers?

Pakistan will kick off India tour on December 22 and will play the first Twenty20 international in Bangalore on December 25, the Indian cricket board announced on Thursday. Both teams have met only in international tournaments since 2007.
Pakistan will play one more T20 match in Ahmedabad on December 27, Chennai will host the first ODI three days later and the two remaining one-dayers will be played in Kolkata and Delhi on January 3 and 6.
India and Pakistan have not played a series since Pakistan's tour of India in 2007, after cricket ties were broken following the 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai by militants from Pakistan.
- Dec 22: Arrival in Bangalore
- Dec 25: First T20 international in Bangalore
- Dec 27: Second T20 international in Ahmedabad
- Dec 30: First ODI in Chennai
- Jan 3: Second ODI in Kolkata
- Jan 6: Third ODI in Delhi
"This is a great news for the people of both Pakistan and India," Ashraf told reporters at the Gaddafi Stadium. "You can't just clap with one hand. Both countries need each other and that strengthens the relationship. The series will be a big breakthrough and a revival of our cricketing relationship with India, said PCB chairman Zaka Ashraf.

In Episode 8 of the second season of VH1's "Hit the Floor," Sloane and Raquel's investigation of Oscar hits a nasty roadblock. A vengeful Ahsha targets Jelena, Lionel and Pete's relationship takes an unexpected turn, and a shocking kiss flips someone's life upside down.
After a very successful first season, VH1's original scripted series "Hit the Floor," last summer's #1 new scripted series on cable among Adults 18-49, is back for seconds!
Set in the world of professional basketball, "Hit The Floor's" season one finale shook up Devils Nation with a new All-Star, a new Devil Girls Director and several new hook-ups. The series, which averaged 1.9 million viewers in its debut season, will pick up right where the juicy drama between the Devil Girls dance team and the coaches and players left off.
Now that Ahsha is single, there's room for her and Derek to explore a relationship. Sloane has taken the job as Devil Girl Director, adding tension to an already strained mother-daughter relationship. Jelena, team captain, keeps a close eye on Ahsha and Sloane, watching for any opportunity to get rid of them both.
There are love triangles galore as new characters join this spicy soap including Lionel, Coach Davenport's estranged, starlet wife; Zero, a God-loving superstar player who is immediately drawn to bad girl Jelena; and Jude, an ambitious junior agent who's come to Devils Arena with a very big agenda.
Everyone has a secret to protect, until a big mystery threatens to expose them all. Hit The Floor season two gets amped up with cliff-hangers in each episode leaving viewers constantly guessing what will happen next. This hot new season brings more sex, drama, secrets and excitement as well as twelve new jaw-dropping dance routines choreographed by the legendary Michael Rooney.

What: Shares of Hovnanian Enterprises (NYSE:HOV), a company that designs, builds, and sells residential homes in the U.S., fell as much as 16.1% on Thursday after it reported an unexpected quarterly loss. Shares are down about 12% at the time of this writing.
So what: Analysts, on average, were expecting Hovnanian to report a profit of about $0.02 per share. However, the company reported a second-quarter loss of $8.5 million, or $0.06 per share. This compares to a loss of $19.6 million, or $0.13 per share, in the year-ago quarter.
Adjusted for asset impairment costs, Hovnanian's loss per share was $0.02 -- still lower than the consensus analyst estimate for the quarter.
The company did, however, report higher-than-expected revenue. Second-quarter revenue was about $655 million, up 40% from the year-ago quarter. Analysts were expecting revenue of about $643 million.
What now: While Hovnanian CEO Ara Hovnanian acknowledged it was "discouraging to report a loss for the first half of fiscal 2016," he reminded investors it is a "significantly reduced loss."
Further, Hovnanian is confident about the future.
"We are certain that we are taking the correct steps that will best position our company for future success," the CEO said.
Hovnanian remains focused on "deleveraging [its] balance sheet and maximizing profitability rather than on additional growth."

TCAT-Morristown's Travis France wins Colleges of Applied Technology Outstanding Student of the Year
Submitted by:
College of Applied Technology
Travis France was selected as the Tennessee Colleges of Applied Technology Outstanding Student of the Year Monday night in Chattanooga.
France is a student at the Tennessee College of Applied Technology at Morristown in the drafting and computer-aided drafting technology program. He lives in Newport, Tenn., and is a 2015 graduate of Cocke County High School.
He was one of nine regional finalists from across the state who advanced to the statewide Outstanding Student of the Year competition. The finalists spent Monday making oral presentations, presenting their resumes and responding to questions from a team of judges representing career technical education and industry.
The winner was announced during the opening ceremony of the SkillsUSA Tennessee competitions Monday night at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga's McKenzie Arena. The eight finalists present took the stage while James King, vice chancellor for the Tennessee Colleges of Applied Technology at the Tennessee Board of Regents, announced the winner.
As Outstanding Student of the Year, France will serve as an ambassador for the colleges of applied technology and career technical education. He will visit with public officials, employers, students and potential students to provide information about the TCATs and encourage support for them.
"I feel honored to win this award and I hope that other people of Cocke County who are just like me can be inspired by this and know that no matter where they are, they can do well," France said after the announcement. "I hope I can be an advocate for technical education and the TCATs in our system and the great work they do for students. I also hope to help people realize that technical education is a career pathway that will secure their future, their future family's education, as well as their lives."
France was one of three students who addressed the Tennessee Board of Regents – the governing board for Tennessee's community colleges and colleges of applied technology – about the impact of the Tennessee Promise scholarship program, at the board's quarterly meeting March 31. In that presentation – and in his speech at SkillsUSA Monday evening -- France said Tennessee Promise enabled him to become the first member of his family to attend college.
"I wanted a college education and particularly a technical education. Thanks to Tennessee Promise, I became the first person in my family to have access to the ability to go to college," France told the nearly 2,500 college and high school students attending the SkillsUSA state competitions in Chattanooga. He asked for a show of hands by students who are attending college through TNPromise, and scores of hands shot up.
His senior CAD technology instructor at TCAT-Morristown, Darren Aldred, described France as a great student who works as a mentor to his fellow students. "He's awesome. He is the best student. He helps my other students and he's there for me when I need him. He's just amazing. I couldn't be any more proud," Aldred said.
The Outstanding Student of the Year is awarded a new car – this year a Nissan Versa sponsored by Nissan North America, Action Nissan in Nashville, Amatrol, Reletech and TCAT directors.
France is also Tennessee president of Skills USA, a nationwide partnership of students, teachers and industry working together to ensure America has a skilled workforce. SkillsUSA annually serves over 300,000 high school and college/postsecondary students, and their instructors in technical, skilled and service occupation instructional programs.
SkillsUSA chapters are in career and technical high schools, and two- and four-year colleges. Formerly known as the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America Inc. (VICA), SkillsUSA was founded in 1965 to teach students leadership skills to complement their chosen careers. The organization emphasizes respect for the dignity of work, ethics, workmanship, scholarship and safety. For more information about SkillsUSA, please visit tnpsskillsusa.org or SkillsUSA.org.

Who is and who is Not an Editor in today's new Digital Landscape?
If you have never been published by a major publisher, then it's possible you've never come into contact with a professional editor before. If you are new to the publishing world and you've gotten into it through self-publishing e-books or going with small presses, then your experience with editors might be slim.
I've had editors who worked with my published novels and stories, several of them, and all but one was excellent. An editor does not teach you to write. An editor does not take your story or book and rewrite it. An editor makes you better than you are, makes your work clearer, cleaner, and more professional. An editor will find problems with continuity, pace, and overall storytelling. They do more than that and it's a difficult, very skilled job, not for an amateur with a BA in English who likes to read and thinks he might be a good editor. A line editor, which is a different kind of editor, will fix your mistakes--you know, grammar, verb tense, punctuation, capitalization, spelling, and so forth and so on. You need an editor. Everyone needs an editor; it doesn't matter if you've published two million words professionally or one self-published e-book.
I admire editors. I like them. I might even say I adore them and I would not be lying.
However, due to this new digital era a very large problem has ensued. People are writing and publishing books that were rejected by major publishers. (Nothing wrong with that.) People are writing the first book of their lives and publishing it for Kindle and Nook. Nothing wrong with that either. People are being taken by small publishers and getting published that way. All of these new published works need one thing for sure and that's an editor.
There are really three kinds of professional people who deal with books at large publishing houses. The editor, and I've explained what they do for the writer. The line editor, and I've stated what their job is. Then there's the proofreader, who catches the mistakes and glitches and typos. (There's also a fact-checker, sometimes done by one or the other of the former editors or hired for that job only.)
Today when you're looking for an editor, you may not get all those skills rolled up into one person--chances are you won't find anyone nearly that skilled and experienced. My advice on that is to become really good at line editing, proofing, and fact-checking yourself. If you don't, who will? But you still need an editor, someone to tell you the story is a pile of steaming crap and ask you to do it again or give it up. Someone to tell you chapter four sucks and you better delete it and do something about stitching the book back together. Someone who notices your style needs one hell of a lot of polishing, maybe even some learning, and asks you to rewrite the entire novel with the given advice in mind. Someone who knows when your pace slackens or is too quick. Someone who knows about characterization and can tell you if you've written cardboard characters or your characters aren't coming to life. Someone who understands good sentence structure, knows how stories should open and especially how stories should end. Someone who will not hold your hand, but demand you are the best storyteller you can possibly be. After a lifetime of writing you can sometimes get to a point where you don't need as much editing as you once did. Only you and your readers can determine when that time comes. Most of your life, you need an editor. I'm not lying to you.
Now this might upset a few people, but there are editors and there are editors. Because of the influx of new people who want to write, who have written and then published digitally, the smart ones get an "editor" to go over their work. However, be aware that anyone can call himself an "editor" the same as anyone today can call himself a "writer." Just as in writing, some can't write and shouldn't even be trying, and in editing you are going to run into people who really are not editors. They even may have a degree in English or Literature or whatever, and still not be editors or even good beta readers or proofreaders. They may be writers themselves--which does not mean they can edit. Do a little research before going with small presses where the editors are...um...not as professional as they might be. Or "editors" who offer to edit your work without a clue about what they're doing. Editing, like writing, takes a certain skill and not everyone has it, even those with degrees that make you think they might be good at editing. Even at NY publishers there are good and there are bad editors. Mostly good, I admit, but now and then some are just plain bad. One of the best things you can do as a writer is to train yourself, to the best of your ability, to edit. Read books on it, if you have to. Try editing someone's work, see how it goes. But most of all, just don't trust that because someone says he's an editor, that he is. This is a new byproduct business that's popped up due to digital books proliferating and people truly needing an editor. Don't trust every publicist, every editor, every proofreader, every agent, or every publisher you run into on the internet. It's just as rife with crap out there as it can possibly be.
Don't say I didn't warn you. You're on your own in this brand new publishing era. Do the best you can to maneuver through it with the proper trepidation or else you won't get what you're paying for, you'll end up embarrassed by the work you publish or see published, and all along you could have done better. Do better.

I would say I disagree with just about everything you write here...ReplyDelete
It's amazing how you and others continue to be slaves of the old system.
Editors should be frowned at, at best and shunned.
Amos, I disagree with you completely.ReplyDelete
You only ever get one chance to impress a reader, and if you choose to not get a professional edit done, then you are very likely wasting that chance.
Your choice, but in the end, the only people who suffer will be you and your readers. And by readers, I mean the people who buy ONE of your works and never go back.
Billie Sue, thank you for this moderate and well-balanced piece.
After that comment, I won't be reading anything you've written, Amos. Thanks for the heads up. I like my fiction clean and edited.ReplyDelete
I agree with almost everything you've said above: Just one disagreement--a line editor is not the same as a copy editor--a line editing is usually part of the job a substantive editor does. The spelling, punctuation, etc is done by a copy editor.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 2, 2013 at 5:07 PM
C.W., I won't be reading anything by Amos, either. lolReplyDelete
Heh, thanks, Ellen. Just goes to show we all need an editor, bless them, may God bless them.ReplyDelete
Extremely well said Billie Sue! You hit the nail right on the head with this. It's important to have an editor who will flat out tell you "That's bad writing, you're better than that" rather than allow you to publish poor work.ReplyDelete

Well written piece, Billie Sue Mosiman! We all need editors.!ReplyDelete

As always, right on target, Billie Sue!ReplyDelete
In some cases, there should be an entire stable of editors going over a work.
For anyone who hopes to be a successful writer, it's pure hubris to imagine it can be done without an editor in some form, be it to tell the writer their work is just not fit for human consumption or to polish up the diamond in the rough.
I am an editor but I wouldn't dare sub any of my own work without another editor going over it. Everyone needs an editor, an honest one who kicks your ass and makes you cry occasionally. Wait...maybe that's just me.ReplyDelete
Seriously, a good editor will help you polish the work until it shines.
I'm an editor,too, and I cringe when I experience the "oh-no-second"--that miniscule sliver of time after clicking Send when you spot an obvious typo or other usage transgression in your email. Especially when it' s addressed to a writer! YES! EVERYONE needs an editor, even editors. ;-)ReplyDelete

GOVERNMENT AND POLITICAL ROUNDUP: Both sides of the E-cigarette debate have their say in public hearing
Both sides made strong arguments yesterday on whether smokers should be allowed to puff electronic cigarettes in the public areas of Wisconsin buildings. A Senate committee held a public hearing on a bill to exempt e-cigarettes from the state's public indoor smoking ban adopted in 2010. The bill's supporters said the vapors from e-cigarettes are a lot less harmful than second-hand tobacco smoke. Doctors said the vapors spew heavy metals and other toxins into the air. Madison radio talk show host Vicki McKenna said she got healthier after she substituted e-cigarettes for one-to-two packs of Camel Lights she smoked each day for 23 years. Madison pediatrician Murray Katcher said e-cigarettes should be evaluated on the air they pollute -- and not whether they're safer than tobacco. Doctor Michael Fiore of the U-W Madison Center for Tobacco Research said allowing e-cigarettes would put children who sensitive to nicotine at risk. He asked quote, "Why would we do that?" The bill's chief sponsor, Senate Republican Glenn Grothman of West Bend, said it's sad that he had to write a bill which clarifies that the state's smoking ban does not apply to electronics. Several places, including Los Angeles, include e-cigarettes in their smoking bans.
Wisconsin school superintendents plan to converge on Madison today, to oppose a bill that could have lawmakers setting academic standards. The Senate Education Committee will hold a public hearing at 10 a-m on the proposed creation of a state board to set new standards -- and possibly replace the three-year-old Common Core standards for math and reading. Republican Governor Scott Walker says Wisconsin needs its own academic requirements. He believes they can be more rigorous than the more stringent Common Core standards adopted three years ago. Wisconsin was among the first of 45 states to adopt them. Tea party conservatives fear it would lead to a national education system. School administrators and others say it would politicize the process of determining what kids should learn. The G-O-P bill would create a board of both politicians and educators to write model standards for public schools. The superintendent would then have a say -- and if they disagree, lawmakers would make the final decisions.
Some of what you see on Wisconsin's online court records would be deleted under a bill to be voted on today by the state Senate's judiciary panel. Defendants who have civil cases dropped or dismissed would see them disappear from the popular Internet files within 90 days of those actions. Criminal convictions would be deleted within 120 days if they result in dismissals or acquittals -- or if they're overturned on appeals. The bill's supporters say the innocent face job and housing discrimination for the rest of their lives, as employers and landlords ignore the Web site's warning that it's illegal to discriminate that way. The bill's opponents say lawmakers don't trust landlords and employers to be fair -- the deleted court files will pop up elsewhere for profit -- and the state's Internet database would mistakenly show that prosecutors win all the time. News media have opposed this and other efforts to restrict online files. They say it interferes with coverage of local court cases, and deletions would prevent people from seeing larger trends and problems in the justice system. Charges dropped in plea bargains would stay on the Web site. Files on all cases would remain available at state and county court offices.
Supporters of a higher minimum wage question a recent survey showing that Wisconsin would lose 27-thousand jobs if the wage is raised to 10.10-an-hour. Four business groups in the Badger State unveiled results yesterday of a survey from Washington's Employment Policies Institute. It agreed that just over half of state residents support hiking the minimum wage by almost three-dollars from the current 7.25. But once people realize the jobs that could be lost, the support drops to 39 percent. Leaders of the Wisconsin Manufacturers-and-Commerce, the grocers' and restaurant associations, and the National Federation of Independent Business say small businesses don't have the money to cover the higher labor costs. They said it would jack up consumer prices, force layoffs, and provide incentives for people not to fight for fewer jobs. Democrats call those false claims, saying bigger paychecks would put more money into the economy. They also raise a new argument not brought out in past debates -- that taxpayers are picking up health care and other benefits for low-wage workers who can't get them from the boss. Also, Scot Ross of the liberal group One Wisconsin Now questioned the questioners' objectivity. He called the survey a "corporate P-R stunt."

Chesapeake Sea Monster - I cleaned up the torn paper left behind when the rear wing snapped off and filled the exposed areas with Fill'n'Finish. I decided not to re-paper these areas but rather just to fill the grain and hit it with white primer. I am gluing the wing back on with the same Titebond no-drip wood glue that I used the first time. I first thought about beefing up that joint with epoxy or glue rivets or whatever. Then I realized that, if the joint is too strong, it is likely that the wood itself would break. A frangible joint isn't always bad. Glue fillets are drying. Primer tomorrow or the next day.
Big Brute - There was a small ding on the tip of one fin and a big chunk of paint chipped off the cone. The fin is cleaned up and will be touch painted. I waited too long before the two coats of paint on the cone and it crazed. That has been re-sanded and will be repainted in a couple of days.
Jayhawk - Most of the fin joints on the body had some cracks. I treated these with thin CA, did a little filling, and touch-primed them. I will also touch up the color coat with a brush. I'd have to mask a bunch of decals to spray this one. The nose cone is another animal. The two canards are held in place with two dowels that run through the nose cone. One of these snapped off. I decided to cut the dowels out of the canards and replace them. What a mess I made of them. I contacted Mike Stoop at Madcow and he will send me replacements for only the cost of shipping. What a class act!

Open Source License Compliance
Use of open source software, and the need for open source license compliance, has increased dramatically in recent years as it reduces costs, increases agility, and drives competitive advantage. In a February 2015 Gartner survey, 99 percent of responding organizations reported using open source.
The growth in open source usage adds code complexity, making it more important than ever to ensure the use of approved and supported code. However, in the same Gartner survey, only one third of respondents had a policy for open source software license compliance, management, use and purchases.
Licensing Is Critical
The lack of effective open source license management and compliance expose organizations to legal and business risks through code that contains known security vulnerabilities; is not properly licensed; includes bugs that are costly and time-consuming to fix or does not comply with corporate policies.
To avoid these risks, organizations must:
- Develop policies and procedures based on software licensing best practices
- Establish software license compliance programs to enforce these policies
- Automate open source license management
A Comprehensive Approach to License Management
Leading organizations have effective open source license compliance policies in place at each phase of the application development lifecycle process.
Selecting the best, most secure code for your needs is essential, but with more than a million open source projects to choose from, that's not fast or easy.
Black Duck products, built on the Black Duck KnowledgeBase™, can help. The KnowledgeBase is the world's most comprehensive database of open source project information, continually gathering data from the vast ecosystem by tracking:
- Over one million projects
- From 7,500 sites
- And over 2,300 unique software licenses
In conjunction with the KnowledgeBase, Black Duck Open Hub provides insight into and analysis of more than 660,000 projects. As a resource for finding and evaluating open source code, the Open Hub provides a critical link between more than 500,000 developers and the millions of organizations who utilize open source each day.
Identifying exactly what open source code is in your codebase is crucial for properly managing – and optimizing – its use and reuse. It's also key to ensuring compliance with code licenses and corporate policy requirements, an essential step in reducing business risk.
Whether you're focused on completing your software projects on time and on budget, evaluating potential acquisitions or divestitures, reviewing supply chain commitments, or meeting internal open source licensing compliance requirements, using an automated method for scanning your code is the best way to:
- Identify and understand code origin
- Identify licenses and ensure compliance to reduce business risk
- Eliminate time-consuming and incomplete manual efforts
- Increase visibility into and control over the open source code in use and where it is located.
Black Duck® integrates with existing development tools to automatically scan your code and identify software origins to improve application risk management. The Express Scan feature provides developers with a high-level snapshot of your codebase in 80 percent less time than industry norms for open source code scanning.
Additionally, our Black Duck On Demand Audit services provide a quick, cost-effective way to identify open source, and assess code quality within your organization so you can make strategic business decisions. By scanning your open source, we can help you ensure appropriate compliance requirements are in place.
With an automated approval process, developers immediately know what code is approved for use and reuse, helping them produce high-quality software fast, and helping to avoid potential legal, operational, and security risks.
A streamlined approval process improves speed and accountability, while reducing road blocks and bottle necks. With Black Duck® you can:
- Eliminate uncertainty and promote reuse
- Speed identification of software components
- Mitigate risk without slowing development
- Collaborate seamlessly
Knowing what code is used and approved in your organization is important, but it's not enough. To enable your developers to write the most innovative, secure code, while also speeding time-to-market, you need an intelligent code catalog. One that is automatically updated, built, and integrated with the world's most comprehensive database of open source project information, and actually gets smarter as your developers use it.
Black Duck automates key open source software license compliance and open source license management processes, enabling you to search for and select open source code, catalog components for reuse and standardization, and gain unprecedented visibility into component availability and desirability. By automating these processes, your organization can seamlessly collaborate while managing software development policies.
The Black Duck approach to open source compliance and license management helps you be confident in the products and code you deliver throughout the supply chain and to end users. How? We provide a license obligation report, including an easily consumable bill of materials (BOM) that you can deliver to your customers and/or internal stakeholders.
Black Duck's support of the Software Package Data Exchange® standard facilitates the open exchange of license information and streamlines supply chain collaboration. The SPDX standard, which communicates open source licenses, content, and copyrights associated with software packages, is vitally important to enabling development organizations to comply more easily with open source license compliance obligations.

A New Age Butcher's Take on a Nostalgic Industry
The concept of going to the butcher shop to fetch your meat is entirely nostalgic in today's world of mega marts and one-stop grocery stores. Gone are the days of visiting multiple locations to collect eggs, vegetables, meats, and dairy – or are they?
If you ask William Carithers, the Master Butcher at Willy's Butcher Shop, he will assure you that you couldn't be more wrong. In fact, the nostalgia is one of his favorite aspects of the business. For him, it's about bringing back the old world charm while providing exceptional product for his modern customers.
Formally trained as a chef at Johnson and Wales University, Willy's passion for butchering developed in his very first butchering class. He was inspired by the process and later came to enjoy the technicality involved in providing chefs with the perfect cut to produce high-end cuisine.
Upon graduating as a chef, Willy took a meandering route to his current destination. He worked at Earth Fare in the meat department, in a mom and pop USDA slaughterhouse, and even held a few roles as a chef along the way. His vast experience ultimately led him back to the place his passions first arose: The butcher block.
What led Willy to his butcher shop
Just as the economy was taking a turn for the worst in 2008, Willy took a run at opening a high-end, all organic meat shop called Carither's. Though Carither's didn't make it through the financial crisis, Willy knew he would eventually open another shop.
In the summer of 2013, he did just that. Willy put Carither's behind him and opened the doors to Willy's Butcher Shop. This time, he opted for a location a bit off the beaten path, explaining that those looking for a butcher shop will seek him out. He's confident that a trip to procure meat is intentional and not something one does on impulse.
Securing his desired location was trickier than anticipated. After losing the first property he had his eye on, he began looking at listings that had yet to be put on the market. While other locations had been presented in various neighborhoods, he was determined to locate in the up-and-coming neighborhood of Homberg, just outside of downtown Knoxville, Tenn. It was important that the location offer the same nostalgic feel he was determined to provide for his customers.
After much debate with landlords and the task of outfitting his location, Willy had finally secured the new home for his butcher shop and began preparations for the public.
What to expect from a new age butcher
When you walk through the doors at Willy's you're likely to be greeted by New Jersey native and retired optician, Stan. Moving to Knoxville to semi-retire, Stan began working with Willy shortly after the shop opened. Now, you'll catch him manning the meat counter between making batches of artisan sausage.
At Willy's you can choose from poultry, pork, lamb, beef, and elk among other meats brought in upon request or for special occasions. The shop is also equipped with a dry aging room where Willy ages meats up to 130 days. He utilizes his culinary background to educate the community on the impact of dry aging and the best options for preparing the prime meat.
He explained that, "The process allows enzymes in the meat to break down muscle fiber making it highly palatable. It's all about controlled humidity levels, time, and temperature. These ensure the process works well." If you do opt to try the aged beef, he suggests you reduce your cooking time for optimal flavor.
In addition to the standard cuts, Willy prides himself on his wide variety of house-made sausages comprised entirely of Heritage, Berkshire pork. This fast growing segment of the business is where his passions really take hold. For Willy, it's a "fascination with the chemistry."
Depending on the day, you can expect anywhere between five and ten unique sausage options including the two most popular: the Toulouse and the roasted red pepper and provolone. The Toulouse is a French inspired sausage typically used in cassoulet.
What to expect in the coming months
Looking to the future of his budding business, Willy is focused on expanding his sausage production and developing more distribution channels and large accounts. His main focus will be on the manufacturing of pork products for a local pork operation but he's looking forward to serving the local restaurant community as well.
Averaging 150 customers and over 300 pounds of sausage each week, Willy is well on his way to becoming a Knoxville staple. He reflected on his business expressing, "It's an old world, dying industry but I just may have a chance of revitalizing the lost art in this farm-to-table culture."
If you're in the neighborhood, be sure to stop by Willy's Butcher Shop at 5115 Homberg Drive, Knoxville, Tennessee. The shop is open Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. and Saturday from 9:00 to 4:30.
Best steaks in town can be purchased from Willy's.

Started the day listening to an excellent presentation on organizational change. It was presented by a professor of social work who did not use an organizational framework but who made several comments very relevant to economics. In particular, economists (with our sense of rationality of resource allocation) are relatively favorably predisposed toward evidence-based policy and evidence-based practice. The presenter pointed out that the whole movement toward evidence-based anything assumes that there is some rationality and that systems are relatively stable. That can work for biology. It can work for mechanical systems. It rarely works for human systems. We can try to predict how changes in the environment will affect the changes in our interpretation of past evidence but that is not always easy.
Second was on self-efficacy and breastfeeding. The important things here are that health care professionals need to be trained to feel their own-self efficacy with respect to helping moms as well as moms needing to gain self-efficacy. That affects people's ability to reach their goals (as an economist I would call it productivity). And, all learning—and ultimately all decisions—occur in a social context which shapes people's perceptions and constraints. Again, all a part of the economic decision making.
Third session focused on training for health visitors and nursery nurses—two types of health care providers my American colleagues will not ever recognize. Key result—if everyone (providers, managers, and mothers) gains knowledge then the outcomes are likely to improve as everyone has better information and resources.
Fourth session was more about evidence. In this session a key finding was that group interventions work better for narrowly targeted rather than broadly targeted groups. This really should be no surprise. It reflects, I think that messages work better when they are for people who have similar information and face similar constraints. One-size-fits-all information sharing is not likely to be a winner.
Other sessions of the day—several have focused on the information that mother's have available for making decision and how those decisions affect themselves and their families. A key perception is that breastfeeding keeps the father away from the child. While our culture seems to believe that the only way to bond is through feeding, there are so many things that a father can do for the combined well being of the mother and child and there are so many hours of the day that the baby is not feeding that a father should not feel excluded by the mother breastfeeding. Last session of the day talked all about all the things that dads can do. Great day.
One goal for tomorrow is to show that economists really are not so different in the way that we think about the world.

Accounting Distortions
All firms need a good understanding of the deliberate and non-deliberate processes that lead to accounting distortions. This concept explains how these distortions arise along with their effects and presents case studies of firms that have experienced accounting distortions, as well as success factors and measures for avoiding distortions.
Technique Overview
Accounting Distortions Definition
The term 'accounting distortions' refers to any kind of deviation and divergence between information reported by financial statements and the reality of the business (Gandevani, 2010). It is the process of using accounting alternatives (usually unintended alternatives within the accounting standard) inconsistently to increase or decrease the flow of items through the income statement (usually by affecting the timing of the flows) in order to increase or decrease reported profit for a specific period (Tosen, 2006).

Onake Abbi Falls is a beautiful waterfall located near Agumbe at a distance 30kms from Thirthahalli. The first part of the name 'Onake' is a Kannada word that refers a large and thick stick which is used in making powders from food grains. The falls got the name because there is only one branch in the falls and it is like 'onake'!. The falls is around 450-500 feet high. This is also a great trekking destination from Agumbe bus stand to falls (6 km).
Route Map:
Route 1:
There are two ways to reach here. One is while coming from Agumbe bus stand towards Agumbe check point, you will see in the right side a small arch written as"'Oushadeeya Sasya Vana". Just start in that road from the arch and that is the single road that will take you to the falls (No turns).
Route 2:
Another one is from the Agumbe check point. There is a small lake and adjacent to that there is a small park. If you go to the right end of the park, you will see the board as "Onake Abbi Jalapathakke Charana Hadi" in Kannada. From here if you start, you will join the 1st suggested path in the mid way. There is no clear path here, you have to find the traces of used path and follow the same. If you are new to forests and trekking, then this path is not for you!. You have to walk around 1 km to join the clear mud road. You have to walk around 4 km in the mud road. Around 200 mt before the falls, there are steps to go down a little because the place is pretty much in 'V' shape. From that distance itself, you can hear the roaring sound of this amazingly beautiful falls. Once you clear the steps, you will see the 'Onake Abbi Falls'. Beware of "Leaches".
Don't forget to take some food with you because you feel extremely hungry here and if you have no food then you have nothing to eat here. Near the Agumbe check post, there is one 'Bajji - Bonda' shop.

Spread betting and contracts for difference (CFDs) are leveraged-based derivative products for trading on thousands of different financial markets. They enable traders to speculate on a security's price without needing to own the underlying instrument.
Spread betting and trading CFDs share many characteristics but there are some key differences. The main difference is the way they are treated for tax– spread bets are free from capital gains tax in the UK*, while CFDs are not.
• CFD trading is not tax free in the UK, while spread betting is.
• CFD equity trades ask for a commission – spread bets on shares do not.
Spread bets have a fixed expiry date. CFDs – excluding futures, binaries and options – do not have an expiry date.
With CFDs there is no need to pay stamp duty, but you do need to pay capital gains tax on profits. Losses can therefore be used to offset taxes elsewhere.
ETX Capital offers spread betting and trading on CFDs across thousands of markets. If you live in the UK, you may find that spread betting is better suited because it is tax free, although some UK-based investors still prefer CFDs.
With spread betting the contract size is determined by the amount of money you are prepared to stake per point. CFD trading involves buying or selling contracts that represent a certain amount per point in the market.
*Tax laws are subject to change and depend on individual circumstances. Tax law may differ in a jurisdiction other than the UK.

In the article, we highlight the University of Washington-Seattle, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, UCLA and St. Olaf College. Of course there are many more that we would have loved to include, such as Concordia College, Waldorf College, Luther College and Augsburg College, to name a few.
If you're looking for more Nordic college or university recommendations, check out Sons of Norway's NorwayConnects website. It has a lot of great information on study programs in and about the Nordic countries, scholarships information and job opportunities in North America and aboard. Check out their listing of Nordic colleges.
Another wonderful resource is NORTANA (Norwegian Researchers and Teachers Association of North America). It's a non-profit organization for researchers and teachers involved in Norwegian language, literature and area studies.
Anya Britzius is editor of Viking magazine. She lives in Minneapolis, Minn., and enjoys baking, reading and keeping up on modern Norwegian trends.

Yamaha E-70, E-50 and E-30 Electone organs ad #2 from page 9 in Contemporary Keyboard Magazine June 1980.
This rare advertisement only ran once or twice in Contemporary Keyboard in mid-1980. Which is common for Yamaha. After the initial ad for the E-series ran semi-regularly from November 1977 to July 1978, Yamaha didn't run ads for these organs too often. The second ad didn't start running until a year after that first one stopped, and then only ran four or five times over the next year and a half, with the last one appearing in January 1981.
Then, it was four months later that this ad finally showed up. Unlike the second ad, which had no reference-like ad-copy at all, this third ad finally provided readers with a few more details about what this beast was capable of. And it begins with a large font and very clear language. 1. It's an Organ! 2. It's an Orchestra!
The black and white close-up images that accompany these two tag lines highlight these two features of the organ nicely, and the ad-copy goes on to explain some of the more musical features of the presets. And one of the first things Yamaha tries to get across to readers is that when the orchestra presets are "combined with the Flute section, musical marriage takes place on the incredible Electone consoles".
Interestingly, friend of the blog and fearless E-70 organ enthusiast "FlameTopFred" (I'm going to lose the quotes around his name from now on), made a similar statement in a recent email exchange concerning comparisons between the E-70 and CS-80.
"When using the orchestral presets, a key feature is being able to bring in some of the flute sounds (Flute on Electone is really a Hammond clone type of drawbar sound). This gives you an additional bank of Hammond tones that can be quite useful. The CS-80 was great - but it was missing that bank of flute (Hammond) tones. "I'm starting to think that maybe FlameTopFred wrote this ad... :o)
The one area that I feel Yamaha could have really made these ads punchier is by adding colour. The close-up photo of the E-70's orchestra buttons that you see in all their gray-shaded glory, are actually bright white, red, yellow and green in real life. Colour would have really made the ad pop.
In the E-70 manual I found online, it describes the colour-coding:
White: Flute. Red: Brass. Yellow: Stings. Green: Synthetic tones.
Looking at the orchestra buttons in the ad, it was all lining up nicely except the last two buttons. Rather than saying "synthetic" or "synth" on the preset buttons, Yamaha decided to go with "Funny 1" and "Funny 2". What...? Maybe this is why synthesizer enthusiasts have a history of not getting along with organ enthusiasts. :o)
And after seeing those "Funny 1" and "Funny 2" buttons, I was even more curious about the sounds of the E-70 and its comparison to the CS-80. The preset buttons certainly looked similar.
I turned to FlameTopFred for expertise in this matter. He has owned both, picking up his E-70 in part because he also thought those buttons looked mighty similar too. He bought his E-70 for $150 in 2008, and the more he played with it, the more he kept coming across sounds that resembled his CS-80 synthesizer.
"When people say the E-70 is not a CS-80 I remind them that most of the useful sounds on the CS-80 came from using the preset buttons and then using the panel controls for the resonance, the aftertouch and so on - - - you can do some of that on the E-70. No - they are not identical, but certainly very close and for $150 the E-70 is an inexpensive sound-alike for many musical applications. The E-70 is a remarkable instrument - and one that I think has been overlooked by synth aficionados.When asked specifically about the different presets and which sound most musical, FlameTopFred commented:
Funny I and Funny II are very close to the Funky I and Funky 2 sounds [of the CS-80]. Violin on the E-70 was close to the Strings 1 sound on the CS-80. Trombone and Trumpet were close to the Brass sounds on the CS-80."
"For the wild filter sweep sound, it would be Funny I or Funny II, the two green buttons on the far right. From the red buttons, Trombone and Trumpet were very useful. Harpsichord and Banjo were good sound for bright, fast attack sounds. Clarinet was also quite good as a triangle or sine wave sound. Kinura at first listen was awful, but was one of the best for using the filter (Brilliance) control.Of course, from my "analogue-synth" point of view, I was really interested in the Funny I and Funny II presets. When asked, FlameTopFred described the two "Funny" presets in more detail:
Just as on the CS-80, between the octave buttons and the filter (Brilliance) control, there is a range of useful sounds from each orchestral button. And because you can combine those together (by coupling the Lower Manual sounds to the Upper Manual) there are sometimes very useful and musical blends using sounds that might not normally work on their own.
The CS-80 was also like this - and people forget that. Most of the time on the CS-80 you're staring with one of the presets and working the other controls on the console. The Filter, the Resonance, and most especially with the aftertouch."
"They have a fast filter sweep - sweeping both the filter and the resonance, very quickly. Funny I has a gentler sweep, gentler resonance, Funny II has a rapid attack sweep, with a short filter decay to a nice sustain, with a little more resonance in the attack. You can almost blow your speakers on Funny II."Thanks again to FlameTopFred for providing this useful information (and more for future blog posts!). He's done a fantastic job of bridging between the organ and synth communities.
Definitely check out his YouTube site if you haven't already. And, he credits a lot of his knowledge to other YouTube videos, Yamaha's manual library site, and the Electone museum Web site. FlameTopFred recommends that if you are planning to buy an Electone, definitely check out these sites.
I know I'm hanging out on kijiji.ca a lot more now. :o)
