3 carrots
After I was done painting the bathroom I was really craving cake ( I know.. weird). I didn't have any specific cake in mind until I started googling vegan cake recipes. Carrot cake caught my eye, I had to make sure I had most of the ingredients. I did!! I even had a little tofutti cream cheese left in the fridge for frosting.
This is the best vegan carrot cake I have made or eaten. Seriously. I had to change a few of the ingredients to what I had on hand. It called for orange juice which I didn't have. I did however have a half can of pineapple chunks from pizza night
(I ♥ pineapple pizza). I just gave them a little whiz in the food processor, but you could use crushed. I made it in an 8x8 glass pan, which takes a little longer to cook, but the pieces come out larger, which is good, for me.hehehe

We have to question if this has anything to do with the White House Considering Sarah Raskin or Jennifer Granholm To Head Consumer Financial Protection Bureau?
From NY Times DealBook
Jamie Dimon, it turns out, has a soft spot for the government's new consumer financial bureau.
"We need to create a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that is effective for both consumers and banks," Mr. Dimon, chief executive of JPMorgan Chase, said in his April 4 letter to shareholders.
Yes, this is the same Mr. Dimon who last month complained that various new rules facing Wall Street "would damage America." And it is the same JPMorgan that (unsuccessfully) lobbied lawmakers to kill plans for an independent consumer financial agency.

The news of Justin Bieber's arrest on suspicion of DUI and drag racing in Miami Beach early Thursday sent fans and detractors into a Twitter frenzy.
According to police, the pop star admitted to consuming alcohol and prescription medications and smoking marijuana. Bieber was driving a rented yellow Lamborghini. The officer who made the arrest said the car was going approximately 55 to 60 mph in a 30 mph zone.
On Twitter, Beliebers were quick to jump to the pop star's defense with many seemingly unable to grasp the notion that the tween hearthrob had in fact been jailed. Others, less shocked by the reports, wrote of their surprise that it had not happened sooner. And the reaction to Bieber's grinning mug shot drew comments of disbelief and mirth.
"Guys I will die if Justin goes to jail...this can't be happening please someone wake me up from this nightmare," Diana (@jdrewbiebssz) tweeted.
@Justinismyboy wrote: "I don't defend him for the stuff he does wrong, but I won't leave him"
"RT if you will be with Justin forever and ever," said @jdbchickz.
Belieber @MyCanadianSide attempted to explain the reason behind the wide grin on the "Baby" singer's mugshot: "The only reason Justin Bieber smiled in the mugshot was bec he knew that all of us would see it and he wanted to pretend as if he was okay"
the one who saved me now needs to be saved.. :(

Apatow's 'This is 40' is an honest yet uncomfortably personal story of a struggling marriage
"This is 40"
Rating: R
When: Opens Friday
Where: Wide release
Running time: 2 hours, 13 minutes
Director Judd Apatow ("The 40-Year-Old Virgin") has been tracking the maturation of the American male through adolescent comedies that are sentimental at heart. In 2007's "Knocked Up," he explored how two 20-somethings, a pot-smoking loser named Ben (Seth Rogen) and Alison, an ambitious reporter (Katherine Heigl), were dragged into adulthood when a one-night stand resulted in a pregnancy. It was in this film that Apatow introduced Debbie (played by his real-life wife Leslie Mann) and Pete (Paul Rudd), a 30-something couple going through the growing pains that come with marriage and kids.
In "This is 40," Apatow turns his full attention to the pair, who are both turning the dreaded 4-0 the same week. Their marriage is strained by the overwhelming sense of responsibility that comes with having two children (played sweetly by Apatow and Mann's own daughters, Iris and Maude), maintaining all the trappings of an overextended, upper-middle-class lifestyle, and keeping the passion and affection for each other on something more than life support.
Because he wrote the script and cast his own family in their corresponding roles, it's hard not to see Pete as a stand-in for Apatow. This adds an air of voyeurism as we watch the couple grapple with the typical demands of domestic life (bickering siblings, fading sex life, financial troubles) taken to vulgar extremes with the director's liberal use of the f-bomb, literal toilet (and anus) humor and outrageous insults, which can inspire some laughs — assuming you've laughed at this kind of stuff before.
But there's something uncomfortable about it, too, particularly when the husband and wife go after each other with a level of resentment and anger that seems to doom the marriage to failure. It's great that Apatow isn't afraid to dig deep to mine the uglier sides of matrimony (how do you fantasize your partner's death?), but his unusual personal connection to the material and the cast, and the uncharacteristic bitterness that the normally affable Rudd brings to Pete, is somewhat off-putting.
There's an awful lot of action packed into what is supposed to be a one-week period, and plenty of peripheral storylines that stretch the film into an unnecessary 133 minutes. There's Pete's mooching dad (a well-cast Albert Brooks) and Debbie's distant father (John Lithgow), both of whom have second families and get some of the blame for the struggling couple's issues (oddly, there's no mention of what happened to their mothers). There's the aging real-life rocker Graham Parker, whom Pete risks his record label — and his family's home — to promote, and the sexy salesgirl (Megan Fox) who gives Debbie a dose of youth to yearn for, but who also might have stolen a large sum of money from Debbie's shop (a matter that Apatow allows Debbie to grossly mishandle without any accountability).
Other tertiary characters present themselves as opportunities for the director to riff with his favorite comedic performers, like Jason Segel as Debbie's cocky personal trainer, Melissa McCarthy's trigger-tempered mother, even a blip of an appearance by the rising star writer, director and actor Lena Dunham (HBO's "Girls").
As freshly minted 40-year olds, Pete and Debbie show how officially middle-aged Gen-Xers are deploying all of that uncomfortable self-awareness into traditional family life. Apatow hits some painfully accurate, if exaggerated, points, yet they're mostly just updated versions of traditional husband-wife griping. He's burdened with the finances and angry about having his rare moments of toilet-bound solitude interrupted; she's worried about her fading beauty and insisting he join her in an overly ambitious midlife overhaul. (Unfortunately for Debbie, Mann's chronic whine makes her character into more of a nag than the script implies.)
One has to wonder if husbands and wives will ever evolve. Or perhaps that happens at 50?

OTTAWA — The federal government should not to hand over the private information of Canadian citizens to U.S. authorities without adequate safeguards, the country's privacy watchdogs have warned.
In an effort to whittle down border barriers to promote economic growth, a Canada-U.S. perimeter security action plan was announced in December that will result in "unprecedented cross-border information sharing," Canada's federal and provincial privacy commissioners said in a joint news release Monday.
"I'm concerned that Canadians don't understand all the implications of these programs," the federal privacy commissioner, Jennifer Stoddart told The Huffington Post Canada about the new Beyond The Border plan. The federal government needs to be more transparent, she said, so that the new rules don't come as a scary surprise.
What Stoddart is particularly concerned about is the informal sharing of citizens' information.
"In the past, informal sharing has led to some real problems in Canada, so we want to make sure that the extent and the amount of information that is shared is subject to formal written agreement," she said.
Referencing the case of Maher Arar, the Syrian Canadian who was detained in the U.S. and sent to Syria where he was tortured after the RCMP passed unchecked information to American authorities, Stoddart said Canadians need a clear recourse if they suspect incorrect information about them has been passed along to the Americans.
"With shared information on travellers, if there are problems on the U.S. side, it is not really clear how Canadians can really access the American system where formal rights are only given to American citizens and to American residents, and there is no privacy commissioner," she said.
Not only do law enforcement agencies on both sides of the border plan to share more information, but under the action plan Canadian travellers' biometric data will be demanded by U.S. authorities in the years to come.
"This is far more extensive, we are talking about biometrics database, we are talking about common traveller screening programs, we are talking about a shared U.S.-Canada exit system and for the moment the two systems do not have a common method of redress if people think that their information is misused or if they are on the wrong watch-lists," Stoddart said.
"And you remember all the problems that people had being erroneously on (the U.S.) watch-list? Their watch-lists have many, many names on them and we are concerned that there be efficient and rapid redress of that problem," she added.
Stoddart is also raising alarm about the likely expansion of drone flights to monitor the border.
"We understand that (greater environmental awareness) implies, and is a reference to, increasing the use of unmanned technology along Canada's own borders and along the U.S.-Canada border," Stoddart told HuffPost.
"Drones are hugely invasive technology that has major, major implications for stealthy surveillance of people without them knowing … We have huge problems with drones (and) we are very concerned about drones being in Canadian skies on a more or less permanent basis," she added, noting that there should be strict rules surrounding their use.
Federal government departments have just begun engaging the Privacy Commissioner's office, but Stoddart hasn't yet seen what they are drafting. The government is set to release so-called privacy principles regarding the action plan on May 30.
Along with her provincial and territorial colleagues, Stoddart called Monday for the sensitive information of Canadians to be kept on Canadian soil so that the federal government can greater control its use.
The country's privacy watchdogs also called for greater public discussion.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who was meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama and Mexican President Felipe Calderon in Washington D.C. Monday, said the three leaders discussed "continued co-operation in managing our borders" and the streamlining of regulations and global supply chains, but made few comments directely related to the Permimeter Security and Economic Competitiveness Action Plan.
Ken Anderson, the assistant privacy commissioner of Ontario, said the group is trying to ensure that lawmakers and those drafting the new regulations in Canada and the U.S., as well as the public, pay attention.
"We are waving our hands saying don't forget about us," he said.

DWI for cop after crash
ALBANY — An off-duty 13-year veteran State Police technical sergeant was charged Sunday with driving while intoxicated after troopers said he crashed his car on Interstate 90.
Gregory Bennett, 39, was driving his personal vehicle at 6:38 p.m. when he veered off the highway while westbound on the Exit 3 offramp, troopers said.
At the time of the crash, Bennett had a blood alcohol content of 0.14 percent, nearly twice the 0.08 percent legal limit, troopers said. Bennett was treated for minor facial cuts at Albany Medical Center Hospital.
Bennett, who works with the Division Headquarters' Communications Section, was charged with driving while intoxicated and released. He was suspended without pay.

Something new: Salted Lemon
By: Joseph Han Jun 17, 2014
The juice craze is in full gear in Hawaii, with new juice bars emerging across the islands. The latest: Salted Lemon, which recently opened in a former shoe store in the Liliha area.
As its namesake suggests, owner Patrick Nguyen's specialty is the Salted Lemon drink ($4), made from lemons that are brined and fermented in the sun for months. Lemons have long been known for their medicinal use, being high in vitamin C, which can strengthen the immune system. They're also a good source for potassium, calcium, fiber and vitamin B6. Nguyen says he'd often get treated for colds by drinking a Salted Lemon. Another unique drink is the Thai Gingerade ($4), made from lemonade blended with fresh pressed ginger and basil.
All juices are $7, while smoothies run under $5, with ingredients coming from Kahuku Farms.
Nguyen's focus of Salted Lemon is to rely on natural sugars from fruits and vegetables and only use simple syrup as additions to smoothies. The healthy menu offerings of Salted Lemon are similar to what Nguyen says he eats at home.
You could say Salted Lemon is a reincarnation of Bob's Market, which sold fresh produce and was run by Nguyen's parents for 26 years before it closed. With Nguyen's mother battling cancer and going through chemotherapy, he started making juices for her and soon decided that the neighborhood should have the same fresh options. In the future, Nguyen hopes to hold events at Salted Lemon, start walking or running groups, offer lunch items and build a detox program.

PTA Halle Preview: Season II Gerry Weber Open
What looked like a great field for the Halle organisers has taken a hit in the past week or so with Radivoj Daneu, Daniel Páez Blanco and József Boros withdrawing. While Daneu announced is withdrawal through injury late last week, Blanco and Boros, the Roland Garros finalists, announced their withdrawals after the seeds were placed which left two lucky losers replacing them in the top half.
It wasn't ideal for the organisers, as the top two ranked players can now only meet in the semi finals. Rasmus Olesen is the defending champion (having beaten Ivan Genov last season), and he and Sven Oxenstierna have been placed in a stacked half with just the one wildcard and no qualifiers. For a 250 tournament, it is a seriously tough path to title defence with two Grand Slam finalists and two Grand Slam semi finalists in it.
With Blanco and Boros out, the top half is a bit of a disaster. Miroslav Brdar is the highest seed and is uncomfortable with the lower balls on grass. Carlo Amato is the other seed who did well to make the fourth round at Wimbledon last year. Grass king, though, he is not.
The other exciting storyline is veteran Brett Read who is playing his first PTA tournament on grass. The Roland Garros quarter finalist faces a tough path on the grass with serve-and-volley specialist Denis Isaev first, and then a third match against Carlo Amato in a month. His strength has been how much time he has been able to create for himself, so the grass may produce some obstacles for the 28-year old.
Prediction: Rasmus Olesen def. Carlo Amato
Thank **** I'm in the **** part of the draw. Still, I don't think grass will be my forte.
RIP Craig Walsh (Craig) 1985-2012
RIP Hughesy 1988-2014. 63* for eternity.
PTA Queen's Preview: Season II AEGON Championships
Big names aplenty turn out at the prestigious Queen's Club tennis tournament in London this week, with three of the world's top ten players headlining the field. Defending champion Darcy Cowan is going through a rough patch of late, and has some huge points to defend this grass season after winning Wimbledon last year as a teenager. He should have no troubles making it through his section, with the only threats being seventh seed Henry Charles, the giant Ivars Emsis and Spas Delev.
The World No. 1, Jason Hall, is the pre-tournament favourite with the bookies, but he was gifted a difficult draw with a possible first up meeting with Jason Bradley. With some good grass players in his quarter, he may struggle to claim his first Queen's title.
The third top ten player is third seed Jefferson Drake who is coming off a career best performance on the clay in Paris last week. Drake has a bye first, but could meet West CWLand rival Scotland Rivers who begins against World No. 78 Martin Reiter of Austria. Also in that section is ninth seed Heath Davis who faces the imposing prospect of Rick Henson in the third round. Youngster Marcuss Deane starts with a winnable match against Ivan Cesljar.
In the second section, fourth seed Zoltán Varga looms large as a real threat. Varga stunned everybody last year to make the semi finals at Wimbledon, and the prospect of Varga/Jojo Mustard in the quarter finals is very exciting with Mustard in career-best form.
The absence of Radek Špidlá makes for an interesting week, but one cannot go past Cowan to defend his crown.
Prediction: Darcy Cowan def. Zoltán Varga
Don't feel like posting the whole draw for Nottingham atm, but the organisers have taken the gutsy move to stage a 56-man tournament in the English "summer". Fifteenth seed Ishan Narang (1R vs. Srdjan Ivic) could meet Jason Lawley (1R vs. Adul Doungtong) in the second round. In the same section, Pierre Rose begins against local wildcard Leon Skinner and then, if he wins, meets sixth seeded Dutchman Thomas Velten.
Elsewhere, youngster Morgan Burridge makes his main draw debut after qualifying as a wildcard. He faces South African Oliver Thursfield first in a tough initiation. Fourteenth seed Roy Daniels should win against Joe Stephens of Wales, but could meet former top hundred player Morton Blundell in the second round. Not a lot of tennis lately for Rock Daniels, so could be a tough week. Third seed Rick Langley has a bye first up, and meets with winner of Erdi Azgin and Evgeny Volkoff.
Nilikar Midid and Mark Harmel are the only top hundred players, and are seeded first and second respectively.
Because there are different sized draws, I will probably have to do this week day-by-day. Hopefully it won't take any longer.
AEGON Championships II - Singles
PTA World Tour 250 - Monday (1st Round) - Queen's Club, London, United Kingdom - Grass
- Fourteenth seed Jarkko Maxum has made a winning start to his season on the grass with a straight sets victory over World No. 91 Fok Zhenyu of China. The East CWLander, who produced a great fortnight of tennis in the doubles draw in Paris, needed a return to touch in the singles but was given a real contest by the Chinese No. 4 in a close match. Maxum struggled to hold serve against Fok, but continually created chances against his unseeded opponent and after breaking three times took the first set 7-5 with a backhand winner off a second serve from the Chinese player. The second set continued in much the same way as Maxum failed to shut Fok out as he gave up a lead of a break on two occasions. In a tiebreaker, though, Maxum started to find his groove as he maintained an early lead and charged into the round of 32 7-5, 7-6(2). He could face French Open quarter finalist Jean-Alain Depuis next after he was drawn against compatriot Christopher Durand.
- The other East CWLander in action was Spas Delev who was taken to the brink by Latvian monster Ivars Emsis. Delev is a self-professed fan of the grass, but was met with the notoriously difficult task of breaking the Emsis serve. In a sometimes drab affair, Delev only managed to complete that feat once to take the second set and to ensure the match went to a deciding third set. Emsis by that point was running out of steam and allowed Delev to wheel onto his forehand side with short rally shots too often as the World No. 44 moved ahead 6-0. He failed to convert his first two match points, but avoided a disaster thanks to an Emsis forehand that managed to hit the bottom of the net to move into the next round 5-7, 6-4, 7-6(2). He looks likely to meet Portugal's Tiago Matías in the next round after rain suspended play in his match against local leftie Scott Whitehouse with the twelfth seed leading 7-6(3), 4-1.
- The only seed to crash out on an interesting day of tennis was thirteenth seed Dmitry Orlov who was humbled by Japanese vet Ninteh Doh 3-6, 1-6.
- Seeded players out: Dmitry Orlov.
Gerry Weber Open II - Singles
PTA World Tour 250 - Monday (1st Round) - Halle, Germany - Grass
- It was a tough initiation for French Open quarter finalist Brett Read as he was taken to the brink by Belarusian serve-and-volleyer Denis Isaev. The veteran World No. 70 regularly troubled Read with his style as the West CWLander often played too defensively and was made to pay by some big shot-making by the assertive Isaev. Still, his class was on display as he made some inroads against the Isaev serve despite struggling on his own and led 5-2 in the third set. Isaev, however, denied Read as he sought to serve out the match and clung on to take the match to a deciding tiebreaker. The French Open quarter finalist had enough about him, however, to stay in the match and advance to the second round 7-5, 4-6, 7-6(3). He will yet again meet Carlo Amato after the eighth seed eased past Norwegian qualifier Haiku Morkel in straight sets.
- Seeded players out: None.
Too close for comfort there!
AEGON Championships II - Singles
PTA World Tour 250 - Tuesday (1st Round/2nd Round) - Queen's Club, London, United Kingdom - Grass
- Another rain-affected day limited the number of second round matches that could be completed, but a full-house of first round contests were done and dusted with ninth seed Heath Davis leading the charge. The French Open doubles finalist was drawn against Romanian Bogdan Maurer and had no troubles with his 89th ranked opponent in a convincing win. Maurer, who won a match at Wimbledon last season, had trouble with Davis' power and the wind at Queen's Club and unloaded with a volley of unforced errors. Davis also had some difficulties with the wind that impacted his high ball toss, but he saved four break points during the match to advance 6-2, 6-2. He will meet top fifty ranked Ion Andueza who had troubles of his own in a 6-0, 4-6, 6-4 win over local wildcard Oliver Wright.
- Wildcard entrant Marcuss Deane had a magnificent start to his week with a comfortable win over World No. 64 Ivan Cesljar. Deane, whose efforts in Paris saw him rise to a career high World No. 109, showed why he is one of the hottest prospects on the tour as he cruised past the Croat 6-3, 6-4. Cesljar looked strong on serve except for two service breaks going the way of Deane. Deane, meanwhile, continues to grow in stature and saved the only break point Cesljar brought up on his serve as he advanced easily. He does face the tough task of fifteenth seed Bjorn Donaldson next after the Swede survived a tense match with local Oscar Highsmith to win 3-6, 7-6(5), 6-0.
- In the same section, Scotland Rivers survived a late fightback from Austria's Martin Reiter to also advance in straights. Rivers led 6-3, 5-2 before Reiter worked his way back into the set through some great defensive tennis to draw errors from the World No. 46. But, as another highly talented member of the West CWLand contingent, Rivers survived that scare to produce a fantastic tiebreak performance as he came to the net regularly and to great effect. Reiter struggled with the attacking style of Rivers, and it was the West CWLander who secured a second round meeting with third seed Jefferson Drake 6-3, 7-6(1).
- In other results, Spas Delev will meet Tiago Matías tomorrow after the Portuguese player advanced 7-6(3), 7-6(1), and third seed Jojo Mustard will play qualifier Tu Haifeng who won his first round clash 6-1, 7-5. In second round action, Wimbledon semi finalist Zoltán Varga crashed out in straight sets to Attaphol Sae-ul; eighth seed Morgan Carter was embarrassed by Brazilian Roberto Santos in three sets; and second seed and defending champion Darcy Cowan advanced unconvincingly against Aksu Emrem 6-4, 2-6, 7-6(5).
- Seeded players out: Morgan Carter; Zoltán Varga.
Buzzing! Love that
Huge underdog for the next game obviously but gonna give it everything.
Good to get by. Looks like I might have a bit of extra time to prepare for Wimbledon though...
A decent enough win there, but will have to step it up in the next round. Drinking lots of milk so as to ensure that I end up better than the tennis equivalent of Accrington Stanley.
AEGON Championships II - Doubles
PTA World Tour 250 - Tuesday (1st Round) - Queen's Club, London, United Kingdom - Grass
- A pretty strong field at Queen's, but no seeds on show on the Tuesday as Spas Delev and Jefferson Drake began with a tough straight sets win over Sergey Dorofeev and Dmitry Orlov. With longtime partner Martti Korpinen out of favour for the moment, Delev and Drake struggled at times against the Russian wildcard entrants but ultimately proved too good in a straight sets 7-6(2), 7-6(4) victory. They came from a break down in the second set to avoid a match tiebreaker, and set up an intriguing second round clash with the second seeds Heath Davis and Jojo Mustard.
- In the other match involving CWLanders, French Open semi finalist Ivars Emsis and Alexey Yarkin continued their great form with a straight sets win over Jarkko Maxum and Scotland Rivers. Maxum and Rivers struggled against the massive Emsis serve and Yarkin's great finishing around the neck with the East Europeans posing a legitimate risk on grass as they eased to a 6-3, 6-4 win.
- Seeded players out: None.
Gerry Weber Open II - Singles
PTA World Tour 250 - Tuesday (1st Round) - Halle, Germany - Grass
- After a disastrous French Open exit in the third round more than a week ago, second seed Sven Oxenstierna has made a dynamic start to his grass season as he trounced highly rated Russian prodigy Boris Denisov. Continuing a long line of uncomfortable Russians on the grass, Denisov's movement was exposed by the wily West CWLander who looked an improved commodity on the grass since his last foray at Wimbledon in Season I. Denisov has looked good in his big matches this year, but ate a humiliating loss as the Ox charged into the second round 6-0, 6-1. In a tough second round match, he plays France's No. 2 Pierre L'Estrange after his straight sets win over Chile's Jefferson Quezada.
- In the big upset of the day, Roland Garros semi finalist Illya Altman was bounced out by local hope Becker Haas in three sets, while defending champ Rasmus Olesen came from a set down to beat Heinz Hainisch of Austria.
- Seeded players out: Illya Altman.

Ring-a-round the rosie,
A pocket full of posies,
Ashes! Ashes!
We all fall down!
There's a preschool less than a block from my house. Sometimes, when I'm walking to work, I see the preschool kids out on their playground, their chubby legs in shorts, their baby-fine hair shining in the sun. "Ring Around the Rosie" is a huge favorite with these kids—their teacher helps them link hands and walk slowly in a circle, chanting the words until they all…fall…DOWN, shrieking with laughter.
Everyone knows "Ring Around the Rosie." Even two-year-olds. It's famous! And possibly maybe totally sinister.
People have been singing "Ring Around the Rosie" for hundreds of years, and while its exact origins are unknown, a popular explanation for this nursery song is that the words refer to the bubonic plague of 1655. Those who believe in this theory argue that a ringed, rosy rash was a symptom of the Plague. People carried posies with them to ward off the stench of dead bodies lining the streets. (A posy can also mean a small bouquet of any type of flower.) The line "ashes, ashes" is interchangeable, according to who taught you the song, with "A-tishoo! A-tishoo!" which has been interpreted as a sneeze, or one of the final you're-gonna-die symptoms of the Plague. "Ashes, ashes" could refer to the mass burning of the bodies or the black color victims' skin turned. And then: "We all fall down." Yep, that's what happened during the bubonic plague. What a lovely song for children.
Now, the people who really study these things say that the bubonic plague explanation is BS, that it's all hootenanny and fiddlesticks. But if someone can come up with a better, more fitting, and more interesting explanation for this seemingly nonsensical song that was seemingly invented out of thin air…I'm all ears.
Because this wouldn't be the first time a children's rhyme, chant, or hand-clap game had its roots in something seriously creepy. Have you noticed? There are lots of playground chants that are truly messed up.
Childhood isn't all cookies and teddy bears and straight-to-video Little Mermaid sequels. Childhood can be dark, and children are often fascinated by the creepy, the scary, the deliciously macabre. As kids, lots of us loved scaring ourselves silly with ghost stories and movies and grossing ourselves out with the most disgustingly gruesome things we could think of. In singing ghoulish songs, even if we don't understand them when we're little, we learn to deal with facts of life, such as death and pain.
Remember jumping rope to this?
Lizzie Borden took an axe,
And gave her mother forty whacks.
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.
Here we have an extremely popular jump-roping song about an accused (but aquitted!) axe murderer. Lizzie Borden was suspected of taking a hatchet to her sleeping parents in 1892. Although she was found not guilty, the circumstances surrounding the murders were extremely fishy, and the murders remain unsolved.
Why don't we have nice jump-roping songs about birds and butterflies? Because they're not as delightfully ghoulish. And really creepy lyrics are easy to remember—they tend to become engraved on our brains. (And then later, that mixture of remembered innocence and creepiness follows us into our adult lives, where movie directors make millions by putting chanting children in movies, mixing playground scenes with horror, or having kids sing innocent-sounding songs during the scary parts of movies! Yay for capitalizing on our youthful nightmares!)
Here's another one you might remember:
My mother and your mother were washing clothes.
My mother punched your mother right in the nose.
What color was the blood?
Red, blue, yellow, green…
You jump to the colors and stop when you miss.
What?! Who thought it would be a good idea to jump rope to the colors of blood streaming out of your mother's nose?
And what about the weirdness of grabbing a dandelion, placing your thumb at the base of the flower, and chanting, "Mama had a baby and her head popped off!" for no reason as you pop off the head of the dandelion?
Let's face it: kids are strange. They utter strange, freaky things, not even understanding what they're saying at the time. Other kids listen and copy, and BOOM—we have millions of adults wandering around, wondering: Where on earth did this come from? Whose mama had a baby and then proceeded to have her head pop off? Was it from the strain of pushing? What????
Here's another mystery to ponder:
Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack
All dressed in black, black, black
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down her back, back, back
She asked her mother, mother, mother
For 50 cents, cents, cents
To see the elephants, elephants, elephants
Jump over the fence, fence, fence.
Who is Miss Mary Mack? Why is she dressed all in black? What kind of a dress has silver buttons all the way down just the back, and how come everyone knows this song, but no one seems to know where it comes from? I looked it up online. There is no one, known source for "Miss Mary Mack." No one knows if she was a real person at all. And yet children have been singing about her for more than 100 years. The two reigning theories about the song are:
1. The first four lines are a riddle, the answer to which is "a coffin." Eeesh.
2. Miss Mary Mack is a reference to the Merrimack, an ironclad ship built in 1855 that was black with silver rivets. It was burned in the harbor in Porthsmouth, Virginia, during the Civil War.
So, "Miss Mary Mack" is about either a coffin or a burning warship. Cute song for kids, don't you think?
Last on our list, we have the horrible "Oranges and Lemons," a British classic that familiarizes kids with the bells of famous churches around London.
"Oranges and Lemons" can be played as a game where children form a tunnel with their arms and catch one another running through the tunnel. But keep in mind that this is a nursery rhyme. A rhyme my mom used to sing to me. Before bed, folks.
Oranges and lemons,
Say the bells of St. Clement's.
You owe me five farthings,
Say the bells of St. Martin's.
When will you pay me?
Say the bells of Old Bailey.
When I grow rich,
Say the bells of Shoreditch.
When will that be?
Say the bells of Stepney.
I do not know,
Says the great bell of Bow.
Here comes a candle to light you to bed,
And here comes a chopper to chop off your head!
There is no known explanation for the ending of this song. No one knows why the last two lines are like that.
What the hell, people. What the hell. ♦

RED BLUFF >> The Tehama County Sheriff's Department released a composite sketch Tuesday of the man it believes killed one hiker and wounded another after robbing them at gunpoint Friday.
Lt. Yvette Borden said the artist rendition depicted in the sketch is an 80 percent likeness of the suspect.
The suspect has been described as a white male adult, between the ages of 35 and 40, about 6-feet tall, with a thin build and short black hair and a black mustache or beard.
He was last seen wearing dark colored denim pants and a dark or black t-shirt with an unknown design on the front of the shirt.
The composite sketch shows the man wearing a baseball cap.
Borden said nothing else about the cap is described.
Sheriff Dave Hencratt said Tuesday that investigators have been attempting to get tire prints from the parking lot at the trail head, about five miles north of State Route 99E in Red Bluff.
Hencratt said investigators have been attempting to contact people who frequently use or pass the trail area to see if they saw any out-of-place vehicles during the day of or around the shooting.
A $1,500 reward was offered by Tehama County Secret Witness Program Monday for information leading to an arrest and prosecution in the case. Secret Witness can be reached at 529-1268.
The suspect reportedly approached 69-year-old Francis "Pat" Gregory, of West Tisbury, Mass. and a 76-year-old man as they were hiking around 10 a.m. on the Iron Canyon Trail of the Sacramento River Bend Outstanding Natural Area.
After producing a firearm and demanding money and person items from the two men, the suspect shot both and left them in a remote area about 100 yards from the trail head parking lot off of State Route 36E.
The victims were found about three hours later by another hiker.
Gregory was pronounced dead at the scene, while the Manton man was taken to an area hospital where he was listed in stable , but critical condition.
His name is not being made public for safety reasons.
Gregory was visiting the area along with his wife.
He was a prominent figure on Martha's Vineyard, where his death has shocked the community.
Anyone with further information about the case is asked to contact Detective Jeff Garrett at (530) 529-7920, ext. 3032.

Bad publicity isn't hurting the bottom line of Charlie Sheen, who tops TV Guide's list of highest paid actors.
Despite being sentenced to 30 days in jail for assaulting his wife last Christmas, Sheen rakes in $1.25 million an episode for his role on the CBS sitcom "Two and a Half Men," reports the New York Daily News.
Sheen is the top earner among actors on TV Guide's list, but he's far from being the highest-paid screen personality. That distinction goes to Oprah Winfrey, who makes $315 million a year.
On the late night circuit, Dave Letterman is king, pulling in $28 million a year. He's followed by "Tonight Show" host Jay Leno, who collects $25 million. Conan O'Brien is set to earn $10 million for his new program on TBS.
When it comes to reality shows, the host with the most in the bank is Ryan Seacrest, who takes in $15 million a year. He's followed by Joe McHale of "The Soup," who gets by on $2 million. Everyone's favorite pint-sized, perennially-tanned cutup, Snooki of MTV's "Jersey Shore," makes $30,000 an episode.
Hugh Laurie of Fox's "House" leads drama actors, netting $400,000 per show.
According to TV Guide, a typical scripted drama delivers 22 episodes over a 36 week period. Shows are paying their actors less because of sagging ad revenues and rising DVR usage cuts into the profits of airing repeat episodes.
Nobody tops NBC's Matt Lauer in the news game, as he pulls in over $16 million a year. But Katie Couric of CBS comes close, at $15 million.

The latest to pop up is one that retro-loving Nintendo fans will surely appreciate: a fully functional Wiimote Power Glove, complete with working finger buttons. The burst of nostalgia at seeing the Wii-glove in action is definitely enough to last us until the next Wii shipment, although we can't quite shake the nagging concern that this guy must have spent a whole lot of time not playing his Wii in order to create it.[Via Slashgear]

Approved by the Faculty Senate
April 4, 2012
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: subject to the passage and approval of both this bill and its companion bill establishing a corresponding "procedures" section, Chapter 3, Section D7 of the Faculty Handbook be amended by making the following changes to the existing content, thereby establishing a "policy" section (with the companion "procedures" to follow it in the Handbook):
so that the resulting Section D 7 of Chapter 3 read as follows:
Policy for Research Involving Human Subjects
Southeast Missouri State University recognizes its role in society to further human knowledge, to advance the sum of such knowledge through teaching and research, and to protect the rights and welfare of human subjects involved in research. Similarly, the University acknowledges the rights of the faculty, staff and administrators to utilize appropriate educational methods and research techniques in their classes, in instructionally related activities and in Student Services programming and activities.
Human subjects are involved in many areas of research in which there is potential risk to the individual, such as experimental research utilizing drugs, vaccines, and radioactive materials. Less obvious are classroom or Student Services programming-related research activities in which risks to human subjects may be significant.
The Committee on Research Involving Human Subjects is best qualified to ensure that human subjects will receive adequate protective measures, that faculty, staff and administrative privileges to pursue the advancement of knowledge are guaranteed, and that restrictive policies which might discourage research, innovative teaching and programming are eliminated. This committee is the official review body for the University and functions as the Institutional Review Board as set forth in federal legislation. Its function is to conduct initial and continuing review of those research proposals which use human subjects and to determine that such proposals are in accordance with existing federal regulations. The committee operates under and reports directly to the Office of the Provost.
Members of the committee shall possess varying backgrounds so that their review of research proposals will assure that the rights and welfare of human subjects are adequately safeguarded. The committee must be sufficiently qualified through the expertise and diversity of its membership to ensure respect for its advice and counsel. When necessary, the committee will solicit opinions from individuals having recognized expertise in a specific area. In addition to possessing the professional competence necessary to review specific activities, the committee must be able to ascertain the acceptability of applications and proposals in terms of institutional commitments and regulations, applicable law, and standards of professional conduct and practice.
Decisions concerning human subjects in research are not made unilaterally by the committee. Through a deliberative process, it is the responsibility of the department chairperson, the College Review Committee (CRC), the college dean of the research investigator conducting the study, and the University Committee to ensure that the rights of human subjects are protected. For projects originating from Student Services personnel, the Student Services Review Committee (SSRC) will act as the CRC, and the Dean of Students will assume the review functions delegated to the college dean in this document.
Definitions of Terms
As used in this document, research is defined as a trial or special observation, usually made under conditions determined by the investigator, which aims to test a hypothesis or to discover some unknown principle, effect, or relationship. Activities which use experiments, tests, and observations designed to elicit non-public information are types of research. Research does not include the conducting of classroom experiments or demonstrations or programming used for an educational purpose. Routine course and program development, including evaluation of the effectiveness of such development and the assessment of established courses or programs, is not research as defined and does not require review. (See next section for details of requirements for or exemptions from review.)
Determining the degree of risk in research involves making a series of judgments because certain risks are inherent in life itself. For certain types of research projects (especially medical), the risk is quite obvious. Somewhat different are those research procedures in which the subjects perform strenuous physical exertion or undergo varying degrees of public embarrassment and humiliation. These experiences may constitute a psychological threat to the subject, thereby posing another type of risk.
In reviewing research proposals involving human subjects, the reviewing body will place the research activity into one of two categories:
Category 1 - those research activities in which the subjects involved have no more than the risks associated with their customary everyday activities or risks associated with the performance of routine physical or psychological examinations or tests by qualified individuals.
Category 2 - those research activities in which the risk to subjects is greater than that encountered when performing customary activities under ordinary conditions.
As used in this document, human subjects are part of the investigator-subject relationship in a research activity which has the discovery of new knowledge as its primary objective. Of course, there are several types of human subjects, including adults, minors, residents of institutions, etc. Donors of organs, tissues, etc., are also considered to be subjects.
As used in this document, the definition of human subjects excludes the normal professional-client relationship which has the welfare of the client as the sole objective. Examples of such relationships are those in which the client is receiving aid or services consistent with accepted and established practice (e.g., physician and patient).
Treatment of Human Subjects
It is incumbent upon the investigator to make sure that all human subjects are treated with respect and dignity, not just by the principal investigator, but by the research associates as well. The principal investigator should make it clear to the subjects that they are free to discontinue their participation in the research at any time without prejudice to the subject.
In those research projects that have potential risk to the subject, the investigator must make every effort to minimize the risks or discomfort related to the subject's participation. For example, if the research activity exposes the subject to considerable physical risk, the investigator must consider whether the subject's response should be monitored by a physician during the testing.
The investigator whose research plans place subjects at risk has the responsibility for justifying that risk. Such a justification will indicate that a thorough search of the literature has been made to ascertain that either the experiment has already been performed with animal subjects or good reasons exist for not utilizing animal subjects; that similar research has not already provided an adequate answer to the research question; and that the design of the study is adequate to yield worthwhile data on the topic under investigation.
The investigator is responsible for the research procedures during the investigation and must be sensitive to individual differences which may predispose certain individuals to experience harmful psychological or physical consequences by participating in the study. Realizing this, the researcher must exercise care to exclude such individuals from the research sample. Should unanticipated harmful effects develop during the research, the investigator shall take immediate steps to correct the situation. For those studies having the potential to produce undesirable effects which may be manifested later, the investigator's responsibility is to plan appropriate follow-up procedures.
The responsibilities of the investigator include scheduling a debriefing session with the subjects following the conclusion of the research. The methodological procedures associated with the study may have caused certain subjects to experience anxiety, embarrassment, and loss of self-esteem. The experimenter should determine whether the subjects have suffered such effects. If they have, the investigator must take positive steps to counteract the effects the study produced. Debriefing procedures to be used must also be described to reviewers. The reviewers must then decide whether the subject's rights and welfare are adequately protected.
The investigator should make every effort to see that the subjects are rewarded or recognized for their participation. Such benefits could be material (money or gifts), educational (added information or knowledge), some other self-enhancing gains (e.g., improved health and well-being), or the award of a certificate of participation. Any payment intended for the subjects should not be so large as to constitute an excessive inducement to participate. The investigator's description of the research submitted to the committee shall include plans to reward or recognize the subjects.
The content of this policy and the procedures that follow it incorporate material from the April 18, 1979 "Belmont Report" of the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research.

I am running urxvt on Arch Linux. I can select the output with mouse for copy / paste. The problem occurs when output contains tabulators. All tabulators are selected and copied as spaces. That makes it really difficult to preserve the structure of some outputs when copying them.
Is there any way to fix this behaviour?
EDIT: I am using zsh if that has any effect on the issue.

copyright, Roger Hagadone.
Roger's naughty polygamist, as I like to call her, is a striking image that takes you a bit by surprise as you look from top to bottom. It was created with 5 lights
Camera: Canon 1Ds Mark iii with 50mm lens, set on a tripod 10 feet back. Shot at 1/125, f8, ISO 100.
Lighting: The key light is a white beauty dish at f8 boomed high above camera and angled downward. A large octabank at f4 (-2 stops) positioned behind Roger serves as fill. Two small strip lights, both at f16 (+2 stops), are behind the model to camera left and right. They're slightly above head height and create the hard highlights on the sides of her face and shoulders. A small softbox at f11 1/2 (+1.5 stops) sits low and behind the model, aimed at the back wall to create the glow.
Comments: It was tough for Roger to find actual polygamists who were willing to pose in such a way for the camera. He ended up settling on this model who, though not one of a posse of wives, did date a classmate and his father, simultaneously, senior year in high school.

- Premier League
Usmanov: Henry wants me to own Arsenal
Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov has told L'Equipe that former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry is pushing for him to buy the Gunners outright.
Usmanov, 59, holds a 29.9% share in the Premier League side after buying up former vice-chairman David Dein's stake five years ago.
American businessman Stan Kroenke is the club's majority shareholder, but Usmanov, the world's 28th-richest man, admitted in an interview published on Monday that Henry is encouraging him to use his fortune to take total control - something he says he would have already done had his image not been undermined.
"I like many footballers, and I'm in contact with some of them. Perhaps my favourite of the last ten, 15 years is Thierry Henry. He's pushing me to buy all of Arsenal's shares, but I cannot predict the future," the Uzbek-born billionaire told the French sports daily.
"When I had the chance to buy some shares and become one of the main shareholders in the club, I didn't hesitate for a second. I was even ready to take total control. That wasn't possible because certain people preferred to make a profit and create, using me, an outside enemy. I remain portrayed as a pirate, an enemy. They have won that game."
The financial fair play regulations currently being enacted by UEFA may mean that even if Usmanov were to wrestle total control of the club away from Kroenke, his estimated wealth of some $18.1 billion could not be used to radically revamp Arsene Wenger's squad.
However, with Wenger regularly forced to remodel his team as his best players are sold off, Usmanov believes the Frenchman is being short-changed by the powers-that-be at the Emirates Stadium.
"For me, he's one of the best coaches in the world, but it's not easy for him," Usmanov said. "I think he deserves that players are brought in at Arsenal when they're needed.
"The best players, and not being satisfied with selling our best players to our rivals. If that happens, we can ask everything of him. But, today, he's sacrificed. Because of the policy, and we're all to blame. Everything's in Mr Kroenke's hands, and I hope he succeeds, even if he doesn't go along with my ideas."
He added: "The greatest achievement of Arsene Wenger is to have created two teams: the one that now plays for our rivals, and the one that is trying to be among the best in the Premier League.
"That's why I say it's not enough to merely flatter the coach, but to give him the possibility to buy the best players, superstars. But not just stars, but those chosen by Wenger.
"It's unthinkable that the shareholders get well-paid while, for small clauses in contracts, we lose key players, symbols like Robin van Persie, Mathieu Flamini or Patrick Vieira. We should have increased their salaries when they started to be courted, started to look elsewhere. I don't know why we didn't propose that to them."
With Usmanov on the outside looking in, as he has "no relationship" with Kroenke, he insisted his passion for the club was born at the end of the 1990s and remains intact.
"In my opinion, that team was as good as the current Barcelona side," Usmanov said. "It wasn't a question of money or prestige. It's a choice [to invest in the club] dictated by my emotions, those provoked in me by the club. And Arsenal's current situation remains an interesting investment.
"I would like to be useful for the club, and I can be. I understand football well, and can prove it, but I'll never force myself on anyone. For the moment, Arsenal don't seem to need me. But I remain convinced that Arsenal should have only one aim in every competition: first place and winning.
"All other theories are hypocrisy aimed at covering up weakness. I'm a strong man. If someone needs my help, my money, my know-how, anything I possess, I'm always ready."

"As much as I love NYC and my apartment [there], I really cherish my weekends in the country," the former "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" adviser told us in a recent e-mail interview, "where I can truly kick back and relax, have fun water-skiing in the summer and downhill skiing in the winter and, of course, spend quality time entertaining my friends and family as much as possible."
We want to come too. You can check out the three-bedroom house, a 1930s bungalow that comes with a two-bedroom guesthouse, in Filicia's new book "Thom Filicia Style: Inspired Ideas for Creating Rooms You'll Love."
The waterfront house—which he shares with his partner Greg Calejo; Paco, a beagle mix, and Foxy, a border collie rescue—has been a retreat and entertaining hub for the busy Filicia for five years. (We hear that in addition to writing and promoting his book and hosting Style network's "Dress My Nest," Filicia's been working on a furniture line to be manufactured by Vanguard Furniture that is due to be introduced in the fall.)
But here, amid his books, boat-engine props, dogs and friends, Filicia finds calm. Especially in the living room. "I find it to be very grounding," he said.
What item in your home most screams out "Thom Filicia lives here!" All my engine props from my boat that I destroyed and have repurposed as decorative mementos in my home—I've turned them into votive holders and they look fabulous!
One thing on a wall in your living room: A papier-mache ram-head sculpture.
One thing you have in your house from your childhood: In my apartment, you would find a book from my childhood entitled "Come Over to My House" by Theo LeSieg (a.k.a. Dr. Seuss). It was a book my mother always read to me at bedtime, and it was my favorite story. It's about a little boy who travels from house to house around the world, meeting kids and learning about their cultures and customs. The story—about visiting homes and understanding the people in them—is essentially my career today.
Best furniture bargain you ever got: Two fabulous chairs that I found in the trash room of my first NYC apartment. I still own them today.
Do you have a decorating decision that you regret? Yes—hanging a Lucite peace symbol above my bed as a child. It was a head injury waiting to happen ... and it did.
Do you hang your toilet paper with the paper hanging over the front or down the back? I don't hang it. I actually use the wings of my Emmy award to hold my toilet paper. In my other bathrooms, I fold it over the front hotel-style.

The Way You Look at Him
I see how they look at him.
My 20-year-old son Mickey sits cross-legged on the bench in the neurologist's office. A teenage girl and her mother sit catty-corner. I see the girl's eyes widen, and she smiles at him. She's eyeing him as if she thinks he's cute. Can she possibly be—flirting?
Mickey doesn't look at her. Instead, he opens an oversized workbook called "Social Skills Activities for Special Children." It's left over from sixth grade, but he still loves it. He reads aloud, laughing a little too loudly. The girl glances at her mother: the look they exchange is unmistakable. I can practically see a cartoon thought bubble forming above her head:
What's wrong with him?
The girl's flirtatious smile fades to pity.
A nurse appears. Mickey covers his ears. He crouches like a school kid in a duck-and-cover drill. "Don't say my name!" He's afraid the nurse is about to call him; he's been fretting about this for weeks. He's not happy being here. He hates having to have yet another EEG. I've promised over and over they won't call his name. As soon as we checked in I made sure to tell the receptionist.
The girl whispers something to her mother. I wonder why she's here. This isn't an ordinary waiting room. She's not here for a flu shot. This is the Epilepsy Center. There are children here wearing seizure helmets.
Mickey laughs to himself again. The girl darts sidewise glances. Then from across the room, I hear a man's irate and sibilant hiss. "Shush!"
Even here?
I bristle. Yes, Mickey is too loud. Sometimes he has trouble modulating his volume.
"Yeah, Mom?"
"Quiet voice, please." I pat the air in that downward motion that signals him to speak more softly.
Welcome to Autism Awareness Month.
Yes, it's April again, that cruelest month. The one where everyone talks a good game about Autism Awareness.
But what I'm most acutely aware of today is how people look at him. Still. After all those blue light bulbs and puzzle piece car magnets and T-shirts and rubber bracelets. I'm painfully aware of the stares. And the trying-not-to stares. I don't know if Mickey notices, but I do. The way they look at my son. It pierces my armor, slicing straight to the heart.
Maybe they're just staring because people do that. Anything out of the ordinary catches the eye; it's a primitive itch. Twenty years ago, I might have looked too.
I don't want to care so much that they stare.
But I do.
I'm the one who always tells other parents to ignore the stares. Who cares what strangers think? I say.
But I lie. It still makes me shrivel.
On a good day I tell myself that those stares are actually ones of understanding and support. Other days, the looks feel accusatory: Why can't you just control him?
But what cuts the most is the welling up with tears, there-but-for-the-grace-of God-go-I Tragedy Look.
Because here's what those people aren't seeing. Mickey's sweetness. His sideways hugs. His silly sense of humor. The joyful way he confides, "I have delicious news." How fiercely I love him.
So here we are again, back at April and Autism Awareness Month. In yet another doctor's waiting room. If I were a bigger person maybe I'd view this as a teachable moment; start a conversation about autism.
Instead, I wait quietly for Mickey's name to be not-called. Silently, the nurse appears and gestures; we stand. "Come, honey," I say. "It's your turn," and we traipse past the staring girl, and her mother, and the man who hissed at my son.
I'm tired of wearing ribbons. Awareness? We've been working at that for years. What about acceptance?
Because I see the way you still look at him.

Morrison & Foerster's highly respected global privacy and data security practice group is comprised of more than 60 lawyers in offices in the United States, Europe and Asia.
Over 100 countries now have their own data protection laws regulating the collection, use, disclosure and security of personal information. The complex and sometimes conflicting obligations imposed by these laws can be challenging for companies seeking to comply with their privacy and data security obligations. Our lawyers are able to offer practical advice that helps our clients balance compliance with running a business in a cost-effective manner.
Our straightforward approach has made us the privacy counsel of choice for some of the world's largest and best-known global enterprises, as well as for a host of smaller organizations. Our skills are particularly valued by companies that operate in highly-regulated sectors (such as financial services, healthcare and pharmaceuticals), those with an online presence, and those operating internationally. Organizations in these areas face multiple layers of regulation and appreciate the timely, knowledgeable and realistic advice that our attorneys provide. We work with our clients on compliance and risk management, establish programs and policies, provide employee training, respond to regulatory inquiries and investigations, and, where necessary, litigate.
We advise on a broad range of privacy and data protection matters, including: privacy policies and procedures, information handling, security breaches, regulatory investigations, global compliance, cross-border data transfers, training programs, compliance audits, commercial transactions, website privacy policies, email and telemarketing regulation, litigation and legislative advocacy.
We believe clients value our ability to provide practical, commercial advice. We think there are a few key reasons that we are able to do this.
Our multidisciplinary practice.
Our privacy practice includes legal specialties such as corporate, financial services, employment, technology transactions and litigation.
Our technology focus.
A trend driving data protection regulation has been a shift from notice and choice to a focus on data security. Our lawyers advise many of the world's leading technology businesses as well as major technology users such as governments, banks and financial institutions. Our technology expertise enables us to speak to general counsel, chief privacy officers and chief information officers regarding technical and non-technical means to safeguard information.
Our technical knowledge.
We are among the first full-service law firms to develop a dedicated practice to advise clients on issues pertaining to the privacy and security of information. Many of our lawyers were involved in enacting key pieces of privacy legislation, such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1970. We have been intimately involved in the evolution of privacy laws around the world and have worked with business groups, legislatures, and data protection authorities on the development of privacy laws.
Our big picture view.
We recognize that privacy and data security concerns are implicated in every aspect of the information management life cycle. We also understand that the effective protection and management of information is at the heart of every well-functioning organization.
The resources we offer.
We offer important resources to support our clients in their privacy compliance and data security efforts.
Legal Resources: The privacy team writes extensively on privacy and data security matters, including Global Employee Privacy and Data Security Law, setting out the U.S. and international legal landscape related to workplace privacy and data security; Information Security and Privacy: A Guide to Federal and State Law and Compliance and Information Security and Privacy: A Guide to International Law and Compliance, which compose a 4,300-page, three-volume treatise that examines all aspects of privacy and security laws, published by Thomson-West; and The Law of Financial Privacy, covering the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Financial Privacy Act, Bank Secrecy Act and Internal Revenue Code requirements, including discussions of state financial privacy laws, use of technology, and use and protection of confidential information. The team has also written Health Care Privacy and Security, Corporate Counsel's Primer on International Privacy and Security and Internet Marketing and Consumer Protection.
Privacy Library: Morrison & Foerster's Privacy Library is an online resource, providing links to privacy laws, regulations, reports, multilateral agreements, and government authorities for more than 90 countries around the world, including the United States. The Privacy Library is the most comprehensive collection of privacy laws and regulations ever assembled, the result of years of research and experience working with clients around the world.
MoFoNotes: Morrison & Foerster provides content to Nymity (www.nymity.com) for its MoFoNotes product, a subscription-based database that helps organizations determine local compliance requirements in jurisdictions around the world, spot potential compliance issues and simplify the development of global privacy approaches.

Financial Aid for Study Abroad
You can find additional information and scholarships on the LTU Financial Aid page.
Students interested in study abroad, should complete a FAFSA (www.fafsa.gov) to become eligible for additional aid outside of the university during their time abroad. Be mindful of deadlines. Your FAFSA is good for one school year beginning in the Fall. If you plan to Study Abroad in the Spring, make sure to keep that in mind. Many scholarships and financial aid packages will fund, at least in part, learning experiences that take place overseas.
Be sure to verify with the Office of Financial Aid that your current aid package can be applied to your study abroad experience and to see if you qualify for additional scholarships or loans. All study abroad-related expenses-including airfare, housing abroad, passport fees, visas, etc-are education expenses that make students eligible for more aid. Eligibility for additional aid, however, does not guarantee additional aid.
There are many external scholarship options for students who are interested in study abroad. These scholarships are competitive and have specific requirements restricting such factors as academic majors, countries of study, and financial need.
Schedule a meeting with a Study Abroad advisor
Office Hours: 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m.

PyCamp Raises $1800 For Newly Formed HZPUG
About 30 PyCampers met with representatives from Enfold Systems and Continental Airlines in the middle of Houston PyCamp at the University of Houston Texas Learning and Computation Center (TLC2) to form a Houston Zope and Python Users Group (HZPUG). Refreshments at the meeting were provided by TLC2. The new group is seeded with $1800 in proceeds from Houston PyCamp for catering sprints, conference scholarships, and other activities.
|Houston PyCampers celebrate the formation of HZPUG
The group intends to have a loose organizational structure (ala "shotgun rules"), to reach out to the pre-existing Python meetup.com group, and to meet regularly for grassroots member-driven presentations about Python. HZPUG intends to create a collaborative website among other avenues of group communication and community building. Sprints, social gatherings, and more boot camps are planned by the members of HZPUG.
