From the west it is approached up a very steep, rocky climb from Bencollaghduff and from the south up a slightly less steep, although equally challenging climb up a mixture of rock and grass from the col with Derryclare. From either side the prominence is over 175m. It can also be reached via the spur to the NE which ends with Bencorrbeg. It has a well-defined summit with a very large cairn and spectacular views in all directions. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/101/comment/4861/ Picture from kernowclimber : The scree slope and Carrot Ridge illuminated by the setting sun Picture: The scree slope and Carrot Ridge illuminated by the setting sun Descent from Bencorr to the Gleninagh Valley by kernowclimber 15 Apr 2010 From the summit of Binn an tSaighdiúra we picked our way carefully south down over loose rock towards Mám na bhFonsai. From this wild, rocky col between Binn an tSaighdiúra and Bencollaghduff the views eastwards towards the Maumturks with the outstretched arms of Bencorrbeg and Bencorr embracing the corrie that is the Corrabeg Valley are particularly fine. From Mám na bhFonsai a steep, rocky ascent over a faint zig-zag pathway leads to Bencorr's North Top that offers amazing views southwards to Derryclare, Loch Bhaile na nInse and on to Roundstone Bog. From here we continued along the ridge which traverses thick bands of brilliant white quartz and inclined slabs of rock involving some scrambling up and down which would certainly pose a challenging walk in adverse weather conditions. A short and enjoyable scramble then leads to the summit cairn on Bencorr. From here we savoured the broad sweep of the ridge we had traversed from Binn an tSaighdiúra and views of the majestic Twelve Bens marching away to the NW, each peak growing ever fainter in the purple haze of the late afternoon. Superlatives utterly fail me. Connemara is a wild, elemental place that truly excites and ignites the senses.By now it was early evening and mindful of time we decided to make our way back to the Gleninagh Valley and there are no quick and easy routes off this ridge. Mám na bhFonsai marks a low point beneath which vertical quartzite cliffs fall away in dramatic fashion. Although there is a potential route down to the valley at L804 529 A it would be foolhardy for the inexperienced to use this as an escape route or during inclement weather. We chose another route which should also not be attempted in adverse weather or darkness. Retracing our route along the ridge we descended Bencorr North Top then traversed round the steep slopes of Binn an tSaighdiúra to the top of the gully L81086 52969 B that leads down towards Carrot Ridge. Passing across the top of this we continued along a well defined traverse path over the top of the scree slope to the east of Carrot Ridge. There is not even the faintest of sheep tracks down over here and although a rope is not necessary, the descent is tortuous on the knees due to steep unstable ground comprised of unconsolidated scree and patches of peat loosened by the recent snow and subsequent thaw. With great care we made steady progress in the shadows of the rocky spine of Carrot Ridge which we had climbed earlier that day, the top of which was now tinted with the rosy glow of the early evening sun.Within 90 minutes from the summit of Bencorr we were well below the slab marking the beginning of Carrot Ridge and heading north across the bog towards the square outline of a sheep fold L80595 54816 C to regain the track leading eastwards to the farm. From Bencorr's summit to the R344 took about 2.5 hours.

My GPS reading here was 713m, two metres more than that suggested on the map. From the summit there are magnificent and unimpeded views over Lough Inagh into the Mamturks with Binn Idir an Dá Log particularly prominent. North/Northeast the southern aspect of its Northern top and to the left of that, Binn an tSaighdiúra (which if I'm not mistaken means 'Soldier's summit') and just below that again Binn an Choíre Beg are in view. Beyond these Binn Dubh (with Binn Bhán behind) and to the west Binn Bhraoin & Binn Gabhar bore testament to the path taken by the Mid-Ulster Walking Club members to get to this point of the Glencoaghan Horseshoe walk. And so it was that we turned south to tackle the last of the peaks in the Horseshoe Walk, Binn Doire Chlair (Derryclare).

This summit was an important point in the principal triangulation of Ireland. Rays from it were measured to Keeper Hill, Slieve More, Brandon, Baurtregaum, Nephin, Slieve League etc in 1830. It would be interesting to see if any of these places can still be seen on a clear day. The distances are: Keeper Hill 132.60km, Brandon 145.04 and Slieve League 145.89. As you can see the weather was the very common Connemara mist on the day this picture was taken, so all you get is the photo of the fine cairn adorning the summit.

Parked at the end of the bothairin at the south west end of the Doire Chlair (Derry Clare) ridge. A short trek east brought us to the ridge itself. Access is no problem - not a fence in sight! Then followed the ridge north up a steep and boggy path to summit of Binn Doire Chlair. This path is fairly eroded in places, especially where it is very peaty. The views south (towards Roundstone) east (towards the Mamturks) and west (out towards Clifden) of this ridge are fantastic. The top 50m or so were in cloud, so no summit view. Followed the compass to find the route towards Binn Chorr, passing a little loch just after leaving the summit of Binn Doire Chlair. The route to the summit of Binn Chlair is stoney and nice and firm underfoot. Again the summit was in cloud. Daylight wasn't on our side so we returned the same route rather than continuing further along the ridge. It was enough to whet our appetites though - maybe next weekend if the weather looks good! (This route took about 5.5 hours) Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/101/comment/1456/ Your Score: Very useful << >>Average micky on Binn Chorr, 2005 by micky 6 Dec 2005 Further to simon3's comment, if you hunt around to the north east of the summit cairn there is an engraving chiselled into a slab by one of the survey team in 1830. Also the ridge to the east of the summit is a nice route down through the forest, if you follow the river it brings you nicely to the forestry road and then you can follow this to the main road.

Payday Loans in Alabama could soon be much tougher to get
Too many borrowers seeking a short-term cash fix are saddled with loans they cannot afford and sink into long-term debt," said CFPB Director Richard Cordray. "By putting in place mainstream, common-sense lending standards, our proposal would prevent lenders from succeeding by setting up borrowers to fail.
The CFPB research showed that median fee on a payday loan is $15 per $100 borrowed with a median loan term of 14 days, resulting in an annual percentage rate of 391 percent on a loan with a median amount of $350. Those fees generated $3.6 billion in fee revenue in 2015 for the estimated 15,766 payday loan stores across the U.S.
Lenders would still have the option to loan up to $500 to consumers without a full-payment test but only to consumers without any outstanding short-term loans. Long-term loans would also be available but the interest rate would be capped at 28 percent and the application fee could be no more than $20.

Top-eds will be a recurring feature in which I highlight some of the better opinion pieces and editorials for the day/week. Hence, "Top-eds." Get it? Oh, shut up.
Labor's Day is Over - Dan Griswold, Orange County Register
-Excellent analysis of the welcome decline of organized labor in the United States. And he didn't even mention this great new Gallup poll showing American's increasing disapproval with Big Labor.
Main Street Should Embrace Globalization - Daniel Griswold, San Francisco Examiner.
-Nice summary of why most Americans should love free trade. Great stat: "A 2004 study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that the real incomes of American families are about 3 percent higher because of the greater variety that imports bring. That translates to a real gain of $1,300 per person or more than $5,000 for a family of four just from the expanding varieties that trade has brought to the marketplace." Indeed.
Congressional Conflict of Interest - Chris Edwards, Cato@Liberty
-Edwards explains that with subsidy-loving Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) now in charge of the Senate Agriculture Committee, any hope for farm subsidy reform just went out the window. Of course, with an Ag Secretary who gets over $42,000 in subsidy payments each year, it's not like a major overhaul was ever in the cards.
Obama, The Mortal - Charles Krauthammer, Washington Post
-I know this is old, but it's still an important read - particularly after last night's address to congress.

Selected Student Work
Teaching Philosophy
My teaching begins with redesigning a space. I design a classroom to function as multiple spaces such as a laboratory, theater, and public square. It becomes a place where students can experiment with visual elements, act out thoughts with open-ended outcomes, and share and exchange ideas and creativity. I believe that this approach to the space creates different learning environments, communication skills, and dynamic relationships between a teacher and students or colleagues. Creating a classroom having multiple functions, I focus on looking into the interests and inquiries of students. Understanding their interests and inquiries is important because it gives both students and a teacher reasons to communicate with each other and to build dynamic relationships around design problems.
My teaching practices aim to cultivate creative and experimental design, to maximize design thinking and logical/intuitive design processes, and to establish design philosophy with critical, ethical, and democratic design aspects. I have taught all levels of undergraduate courses. In foundation courses, students learn about visual elements and grammar and practice a wide range of design approaches and skills. At the same time, they are exposed to constructive criticism by understanding the history of design as well as contemporary design. In advanced courses, I emphasize design thinking and encourage students to choose what they want to investigate and to deepen research in the logical/intuitive design process.
Course activities are different depending on the courses, but ultimately they are designed to help students to be critical thinkers and proficient makers. In order to achieve the objectives, students are encouraged to do the following:
- Make something everyday: Daily Exercise
- Investigate subject matter based on interest and inquiry
- Articulate ideas in various perspectives
- Synthesize observations and investigations
- Explore visual languages, expressions, and digital skills
- Integrate conditional and participatory design
- Re-contextualize and reconfigure visual practices
- Collaborate across disciplines
- Enhance problems-solving skills
My teaching philosophy is an integral part of my teaching practices and my research. It has informed all aspects of my career as a design educator and creative director. It has been the foundation in developing my courses and has guided students to become successful design practitioners in their fields.
I have re-designed, developed, and taught art and design courses at the Lamar Dodd School of Art, the University of Georgia since 2008.

Monmouth University Poll: O'Donnell Cuts Coons' Edge to 10 Points
In the past two weeks, Republican Christine O'Donnell has narrowed Democrat Chris Coons' lead in Delaware's U.S. Senate race from 19 points to 10 points. The latest Monmouth University Poll finds Coons has the support of 51 percent of likely voters to 41 percent for O'Donnell. Two weeks ago, this race stood at 57 percent to 38 percent.
O'Donnell has actually pulled into a 49 percent to 43 percent lead in the southern part of the state (i.e. Kent and Sussex counties). Two weeks ago, this region of the state was divided at 47 percent for O'Donnell and 46 percent for Coons. The Democrat continues to hold a sizable advantage in New Castle County, but the current 56 percent to 36 percent margin is down from the 63 percent to 33 percent edge he held earlier this month.
O'Donnell has also made gains among independent voters, now leading Coons 47 percent to 42 percent among this voting bloc. Two weeks ago, she trailed in the independent vote by 51 percent to 41 percent.
"While Coons still has the advantage, it has to be uncomfortable knowing that O'Donnell was able to shave nine points off his lead in just two weeks. The interesting thing is that while her vote total has risen, the majority of Delaware voters still say she is unqualified for the post," said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute.
The poll found that just 35 percent of likely voters in Delaware feel that Christine O'Donnell is qualified to be a U.S. senator, while 56 percent say she is unqualified. That contrasts with their opinion of Chris Coons, who 65 percent say is qualified for the U.S. Senate to 25 percent unqualified. These qualification results for O'Donnell and Coons are basically identical to the Monmouth University Poll results from two weeks ago.
However, O'Donnell has seen some improvement in voters' opinion of her personally, while Coons' rating has dropped. O'Donnell is now viewed favorably by 34 percent of the electorate and unfavorably by 51 percent. Two weeks ago, this stood at 31 percent favorable to 58 percent unfavorable. Coons has a 45 percent favorable to 39 percent unfavorable rating, compared to a 50 percent favorable to 33 percent unfavorable rating two weeks ago.
While the Senate election has experienced some movement, there has been little change in the race for Delaware's at-large House seat. The poll finds Democrat John Carney holding a 51 percent to 44 percent lead over Republican Glen Urquhart in the race to fill the vacant House seat. That marks a slight narrowing of the gap from Carney's 53 percent to 44 percent margin two weeks ago.
Delaware voters' personal ratings for the two major party House candidates have remained fairly stable. Carney has a 46 percent favorable to 28 percent unfavorable rating, with 26 percent offering no opinion. Urquhart has a 38 percent favorable to 27 percent unfavorable rating, with 35 percent offering no opinion.
The Monmouth University Poll was conducted by telephone with 1171 likely voters from Oct. 25 to 27, 2010. This sample has a margin of error of + 2.9 percent.
Did CNN's Poll Succeed or Fail?
I always hated poll stories. To me, they were a poor substitute used by news organizations for genuine investigative reporting, which is much harder to do than to hire a pollster to ask silly questions. But they populate our media every week, giving some political junkie on either side of the aisle to parade around for a few days to say "Look, most people think like me!"
Today brings another example of a poll that for this news cycle will bring joy to the right, but is so meaningless its embarrassing.
CNN Opinion Research Poll interviewed 1,136 adult Americans, including an oversample of African-Americans, by telephone by Opinion Research Corporation on July 31-Aug. 3, 2009. The margin of sampling error for results based on the total sample is plus or
minus 3 percentage points.
On Question 3, pollsters asked, "Do you consider the first six months of the Obama administration to be a success or a failure?" Fifty-one percent said "success," 37 percent said "failure," 11 percent said "too soon to tell," and 1 percent had no opinion.
Then it compares a similar poll conducted in August 2001 about then-President George Bush. Fifty-six percent said "success," 32 percent said "failure," 7 percent said "too early to tell," and 5 percent said they had no opinion.
Quickly, this was touted on Drudge as "CNN POLL: After 6 Months, More View Obama Presidency a 'Failure' Than Bush…" and on RealClearPolitics as "After 6 Months, More View Obama's Presidency as a 'Failure' Than Bush's."
The problem is, only 11 percent got it right this year, as compared to 7 percent in 2001, and now the poll is being touted as proof of Obama's failure as a president.
You can't judge any president as a success or failure after six months. It's ludicrous. We like stories that nurture this instant gratification world. It's easy to put a number on a president's success or failure and say "Here it is!" But in reality, Obama's policies will only be judged for their effectiveness decades down the road.
Six months into Abraham Lincoln's first term, all 11 states in the South had seceded; the battle of Bull Run had been a disastrous loss, and the country was in the first days of its ugliest war. If we had polls back then, I would imagine his numbers would be worse. But I would also doubt anyone now thinks of Lincoln as a failure — at any point in his life.
You simply cannot judge a president's success on only six months of work. Sometimes a president's impact can only be seen through the light of history. Heck, even Nixon is getting kudos for some of his accomplishments 40 years after the fact.
Instead of spending the money on a poll, CNN should do some of the hard work no one else seems to want to do. A start could be actually getting a few reporters to read through the thousands of pages in the various health-care bills, and get insurance and health experts together to analyze them. Then report on what each bill would really do to Americans. Heck, that's more than our congressmen are doing. It's harder work, but it's better journalism.

I have included a download of my basic set of commands some of which work really well and others which will require a certain amount of training to get right consistently.
The thing to understand about this particular tool is that it maps gestures to keybaord commands, so if it can't be done with a keyboard command then it can't be mapped (at least not that I've found). When used in conjunction with OS based keyboard commands (I like ctrl+opt+command+o for I/O… for example) then you can really customise your workflow and rarely have to move from the modifier keys and the trackpad.
My basic command set is very basic: Change tools, Fade in/out, Increase/Decrease Waveform Size, Select Next/Previous region etc but give a quick and simple start point for adding your own.
This workflow is definitely not for everyone, it takes some time to establish what will and what won't work and you'll find things that don't work consistently. One such command was the Single Tap Middle Bottom that I'd set to be the select tool (F7) wasn't triggering on my laptop trackpad consistently so I duplicated it with Single Tap Middle Top which smooths my interaction.

EMI Approves Private Equity Buyout, Universal Acquires BMG Music Publishing
EMI has approved an offer to be bought out by a private equity firm, Terra Firma Capital Partners, for $4.7 billion. A private equity purchase such as this will remove EMI from the open market, returning it to privately-held status. Investors hear lots about leveraged buyouts, which are part of private equity purchases and have been de rigeur of late. EMI's board will recommend this offer to its shareholders at a later date.
This news follows EMI's reporting a loss of near $600 million for the year, which should make the offer more attractive to shareholders. Expect massive layoffs, artists being dumped, and enhanced efforts to protect the monetization of EMI's wares (Hypebot goes so far as to speculate there might be a slowing of movement away from DRM). Private equity buys business to turn it around and make it more profitable. Whether the purchase is long-term or to resell EMI (perhaps after breaking it up into smaller businesses) in the not-too-distant future is to be seen.
Not only is EMI being scooped up, but Universal Music Group, already the world's largest music company, has been approved by the EU to purchase BMG Music Publishing for $2.09 billion. This deal makes the #3 and #4 of the big 4 publishing groups #1 over EMI. To avoid antitrust hangups, Universal has agreed to sell off the European rights to several song catalogs, including Justin Timberlake, R. Kelly, and The Kaiser Chiefs.

Dude, You Need to Raise Money: A Look at Surfrider's Revenue Model/
The Surfrider Foundation was started more than three decades ago by a handful of Malibu surfers who saw the coast they loved threatened by pollution and development. These days, it has 85 chapters around the country, and in a recent year, pulled in over $5 million in contributions and grants.
Those aren't huge numbers compared to many nonprofits we look at, but we're talking about a group started by California surfers, don't forget. Clearly, the people behind Surfrider aren't too laid back. It's not easy raising five million bucks a year.
So how does Surfrider do it? We put that question to Nancy Eiring, the group's director of marketing and engagement.
Eiring pointed first and foremost to how passionate people get about "protecting their coast in their backyards," noting that Surfrider oversees "the single largest network of coastal defenders who are volunteers." She notes: "We are the only environmental organization that is focused on our coast."
Surfrider has parlayed that dominant position into a nonstop series of local campaigns that draw media, new members and money. "At any given point, we have more than 90 campaigns happening," Eiring said. "They range from plastic bag bans to beach access."
You can see how these issues can get people riled up. Eiring called my attention to a 2016 study that concludes the world's oceans will be hold more discarded plastic than fish when measured by weight by the year 2050. "Working to rid our oceans of plastic is something we are are very dedicated to," Eiring said. Surfrider has been on this issue for years, but only more recently has it started to penetrate into mainstream consciousness.
Related: A Top Conservation Funder Shifts to Give New Attention to Fisheries and Plastic Trash
Regarding fundraising, Eiring said, "We are like many nonprofits, we have a diverse portfolio of funding." One key source of support is grants from foundations.
Surfrider pulls in major grants from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the David and Lucile Packard Foundation—two of the biggest players in ocean conservation. It's also gotten support from the Marisla Foundation, which is underwritten with oil wealth and based in Laguna Beach, and a wide ranger of smaller family foundations.
Then there are Surfrider's members.
"We have a membership support base of 25,000 active members who contribute annual renewals to Surfrider of $25 or more," Eiring said. There's always an effort to move members upward, and Surfrider has a number of major donors who make gifts of $1,000 or more.
"Fifty percent of our membership revenue comes from online, from emails and the website, while the other 50 percent comes from direct mail from our annual renewals and appeals for additional gifts," Eiring says. She adds that Surfrider's direct mail program to acquire new members started in June of last year.
Corporate partnerships are another piece of the puzzle. Barefoot Wine has now supported Surfrider Foundation for more than two decades. This year will mark the 10th year of the Barefoot Wine Beach Rescue Project, when it will host thousands of volunteers who will pick up tons of beach trash to keep America's coast "Barefoot Friendly." This is another example of a corporation aligning itself with a charity to improve its image while supporting the nonprofit's work.
Events figure in the fundraising mix, too.
Last year, Surfrider launched its branded event, "Two Coasts: One Ocean," in Montauk and and Malibu. Although these are fundraising galas, don't expect to see black ties. The garb is casual. They are both held at private residences featuring food, entertainment, and fundraising auctions.
What advice would Eiring give to other nonprofits? "I think it's all about being authentic to your DNA and not trying to be something that you are not," she said. "In order to fund raise, you have to connect with people where they're at and you have to make the appeal emotional and tangible. You have to build for the future and not rely on your laurels of yesterday."

HONOLULU -- Brian Viloria won a unanimous decision over Mexico's Julio Cesar Miranda on Saturday night to win the WBO flyweight championship.
Viloria, known as "The Hawaiian Punch," jumped and pumped his fist in the air when he was announced the new world champion. The former Olympian was in tears as his father gave him a bearhug and proudly lifted his son in the air as the crowd roared.
The 30-year-old Viloria controlled the fight from the start, flooring Miranda in the opening minutes and landing body blow after body blow throughout the fight.
"I started off quick and I think Miranda got caught by surprise. But like a champion he came back," Viloria said. "I give him a lot of credit. He fought his heart out and I also fought my heart out because I really wanted this."
Viloria, who grew up about a half-hour west of Honolulu in a blue-collar, former sugar-plantation town of Waipahu, was badly bloodied but walked away with the belt.
Judges Robert Hoyle (98-91) Ruben Garcia (96-93) and Tamotsu Tomihara (97-93) favored Viloria (29-3, 16 KOs), who claimed his first title at 112 pounds. He previously held the IBF and WBC light flyweight titles at 108 pounds.
The 31-year-old Miranda (28-4, 16 KOs) was making his fourth title defense since beat Richie Mepranum to win the title in June 2010.
The Mexican had won his last five fights by knockout with none of the contests going beyond eight rounds. His last fight was a fourth-round TKO over Arden Diale in February.
Miranda struggled to make 112 pounds, taking a couple hours to shed two pounds at the weigh-in Friday in Waikiki. He said the long flight and having to cut weight affected him.
"It was a tough fight. Very difficult," Miranda said.
When asked if he was surprised by the judges scorecards, Miranda said, "I would love a rematch."
With the hometown crowd chanting "Brian! Brian!" Viloria hit Miranda with a hard right to the body in the opening round, sending the Mexican to his knees. With Viloria's corner yelling, "Body shot. Body shot," Viloria landed several left hooks during in the fight, while dancing away from several attacks and keeping Miranda's power at bay.
Miranda did land a jarring left to Viloria's head in the fourth that seemed to momentarily take the steam out of Viloria.
The Mexican opened up a big cut over Viloria's right eye in the eighth round. Viloria wiped his brow and licked the blood with a smile at the end of the round.
With Miranda switching stances, Viloria hit him with a straight right to the head that sent the Mexican sprawling into the ropes in the seventh.
Miranda picked up the punching, but never got Viloria in trouble. With Miranda on the attack, a bloodied Viloria stayed away in the final seconds and dropped to his knees when the final bell sounded, raising his arms in the air.
Viloria returned to the ring for the fist time since knocking out Liempetch Sor Veerapol in the seventh round in November. Viloria last held the IBF light flyweight title, but lost it Columbia's Carlos Tamara in January 2010.
"This is something I've been wanting since last year when I lost the world title. I wanted to get back on the horse again and I did that tonight," Viloria said.
This was Viloria's first fight as a married man. He wed longtime girlfriend Erica Navarro in December.

Jessica and Rich planned a beautiful summer wedding at Shadow Creek in Purcellville, Virginia. The color palette was creamy taupes and a soft purply gray. We brought this out in the flowers through amnesia roses, succulents, chocolate Queen Anne's lace, allium, brunia, and cafe au lait dahlias.
The weather at ceremony time was drizzling so we went with plan B and moved the ceremony to the cover of the grand front porch. Handtied posies lined the aisle and overhead arch flowers added a lovely focal point to the ceremony.
The weather cleared in time for portraits and cocktail hour, followed by the reception in the barn. The arch flowers were repurposed inside as a back drop to the king's table. Centerpieces in weathered wood boxes carried the color palette through to each table and perfectly complemented the rustic but elegant atmosphere at Shadow Creek. Special thanks to Genevieve Leiper for these gorgeous photos!

Published at Wednesday, December 27th, 2017 - 14:01:53 PM. Bedding. By Amia Fournier.
Most companies will offer a wide selection of items in a number of different bed sizes, ranging from singles to super kings. When shopping in-store you may find that the bedding sets you like aren't available in your size and you may have to wait until they get stock in again. When ordering online you are opened up to a much wider variety, enabling you to search numerous online stores to find that one set that jumps out at you.
Drift is another great design which features a graphic of a dandelion head against the tan or cocoa background. The Amenity Leaf design places large leaves on the solid background colors. The pillow shams for each of these selections are solid in the same color as the background of the duvet. Very modern in appearance, these bedding choices make the modern bedroom's focal point the bed. This gives a clean, uncluttered look to the bedroom by focusing attention on the bedding with these bold, modern looks.

In the wake of the Target data breach and subsequent news where it was revealed that more than 70 million consumers have been affected, one industry expert reveals the most important thing consumers need to do to ensure they are protected.
Jason Oxman is the CEO of the Electronic Transactions Association, which is an industry organization that represents the payments technology industry. It has more than 500 member institutions, including American Express (NYSE:AXP), Visa (NYSE:V), MasterCard (NYSE:MA), and countless others, that each year process more than $4 trillion in payments.
While many consumers have thought to turn to cash and neglect credit or debit cards altogether, Oxman said the credit card system "really is the most reliable and secure form of payment" and noted that if people have cash that is lost or stolen, they'll probably never see it again. However if a fraudulent charge is made on a card, consumers can report that charge to their credit card issuers to ensure that the charge is waived, and they aren't required to pay for a transaction they never made.
Federal law states that consumers can only be held responsible for up to $50 on an unauthorized credit charge purchase. However, MasterCard, Visa and Discover Financial Services note that they have zero-liability policies, and although American Express doesn't use that exact language, it comes pretty close. In the companies' own words:
- "Have peace of mind knowing that the financial institution that issued your MasterCard or Debit MasterCard card won't hold you responsible for 'unauthorized purchases.'"
- "Visa's Zero Liability policy is our guarantee that you won't be held responsible for fraudulent charges made with your card or account information."
- "If someone steals your Discover card account information, remember that our $0 Fraud Liability Guarantee means you are never responsible for unauthorized transactions on your Discover card account."
- "When you use your American Express card, you are not liable for fraudulent purchases."
The best way to protect yourself
But first, there's one simple thing Oxman says every consumer must do:
I think it is vitally important for consumers to be aware of their accounts. And that means, quite simply, doing something that all too often people don't do, which is look at your statements. Go online and log into your account and make sure you don't see anything strange on there, and you don't see any charges you didn't authorize.
Oxman went on to explain that the card issuers "go above and beyond what is required in the federal law," by providing the zero-liability protection. However, to take full advantage of that protection, consumers must report that their cards have been used in an unauthorized way. And to do so, consumers first must see the purchase by reviewing their account statements.
And while it may at first seem like a burden to check the account every few days, doing so would also provide the added benefit of greater awareness around spending habits, which would probably lead to greater discipline in regard to personal finance.
Oxman summed up that "the No. 1 tip that a lot of us forget ... is just be aware of what is happening on your account, and if you see something that is not supposed to be there, report it."
All told, the data breaches and evidences of large-scale fraud at Target, Neiman Marcus, and other places are certainly frightening, but one can only hope it leads to greater awareness of both the available protections as well as potential dangers.

Baltimore, MD—A newly developed technique that shows artery clogging fat-and-protein complexes in live fish gave investigators from Carnegie, Johns Hopkins University, and the Mayo Clinic a glimpse of how to study heart disease in action. Their research, which is currently being used to find new drugs to fight cardiovascular disease, is now published in Nature Communications.
Fat molecules, also called lipids, such as cholesterol and triglycerides are shuttled around the circulatory system by a protein called Apolipoprotein-B, or ApoB for short. These complexes of lipid and protein are called lipoproteins but may be more commonly known as "bad cholesterol."
Baltimore, MD—How do the communities of microbes living in our gastrointestinal systems affect our health? Carnegie's Will Ludington was part of a team that helped answer this question.
For nearly a century, evolutionary biologists have probed how genes encode an individual's chances for success—or fitness—in a specific environment.
In order to reveal a potential evolutionary trajectory biologists measure the interactions between genes to see which combinations are most fit. An organism that is evolving should take the most fit path. This concept is called a fitness landscape, and various mathematical techniques have been developed to
Meredith Wilson, a postdoctoral associate in Steve Farber's lab at the Department of Embryology, has been awarded Carnegie's thirteenth Postdoctoral Innovation and Excellence Award. These prizes are given to postdocs for their exceptionally creative approaches to science, strong mentoring, and contributing to the sense of campus community. The nominations are made by the departments and are chosen by the Office of the President. The recipients receive a cash prize and are celebrated at an event at their departments.

The Zheng lab studies cell division including the study of stem cells, genome organization, and lineage specification. They study the mechanism of genome organization in development, homeostasis—metabolic balance-- and aging; and the influence of cell morphogenesis, or cell shape and steructure, on cell fate decisions. They use a wide range of tools and systems, including genetics in model organisms, cell culture, biochemistry, proteomics, and genomics.
The Fan laboratory studies the molecular mechanisms that govern mammalian development, using the mouse as a model. They use a combination of biochemical, molecular and genetic approaches to identify and characterize signaling molecules and pathways that control the development and maintenance of the musculoskeletal and hypothalamic systems.
The musculoskeletal system provides the mechanical support for our posture and movement. How it arises during embryogenesis pertains to the basic problem of embryonic induction. How the components of this system are repaired after injury and maintained throughout life is of biological and clinical significance. They study how this system is
The Gall laboratory studies all aspects of the cell nucleus, particularly the structure of chromosomes, the transcription and processing of RNA, and the role of bodies inside the cell nucleus, especially the Cajal body (CB) and the histone locus body (HLB).
Much of the work makes use of the giant oocyte of amphibians and the equally giant nucleus or germinal vesicle (GV) found in it. He is particularly interested in how the structure of the nucleus is related to the synthesis and processing of RNA—specifically, what changes occur in the chromosomes and other nuclear components when RNA is synthesized, processed, and transported to the cytoplasm.
The Marnie Halpern laboratory studies how left-right differences arise in the developing brain and discovers the genes that control this asymmetry. Using the tiny zebrafish, Danio rerio, they explores how regional specializations occur within the neural tube, the embryonic tissue that develops into the brain and spinal cord.
The zebrafish is ideal for these studies because its basic body plan is set within 24 hours of fertilization. By day five, young larvae are able to feed and swim, and within three months they are ready to reproduce. They are also prolific breeders. Most importantly the embryos are transparent, allowing scientists to watch the nervous system develop and to

Allan Spradling is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator and director of the Department of Embryology. His laboratory studies the biology of reproduction particularly egg cells, which are able to reset the normally irreversible processes of differentiation and aging that govern all somatic cells—those that turn into non-reproductive tissues. Spradling uses the fruit fly Drosophila because the genes and processes studied are likely to be similar to those in other organisms including humans. In the 1980s he and his colleague, Gerald Rubin, showed how jumping genes could be used to identify and manipulate fruit fly genes. Their innovative technique helped establish Drosophila
Staff Associate Kamena Kostova joined the Department of Embryology in November 2018. She studies ribosomes, the factory-like structures inside cells that produce proteins. Scientists have known about ribosome structure, function, and biogenesis for some time. But, a major unanswered question is how cells monitor the integrity of the ribosome itself. Problems with ribosomes have been associated with diseases including neurodegeneration and cancer. The Kostova lab investigates the fundamental question of how cells respond when their ribosomes break down using mass spectrometry, functional genomics methods, and CRISPR genome editing.
Kostova received a B.S. in Biology from the
Junior investigator Zhao Zhang joined Carnegie in November 2014. He studies how elements with the ability to "jump" around the genome, called transposons, are controlled in egg, sperm, and other somatic tissues in order to understand how transposons contribute to genomic instability and to mutations that lead to inherited disease and cancer. He particularly focuses on transposon control and its consequences in gonads compared to other tissues and has discovered novel connections to how gene transcripts are processed in the nucleus.To accomplish this work, Zhang frequently develops new tools and techniques, a characteristic of many outstanding Carnegie researchers.
The Ludington lab investigates complex ecological dynamics from microbial community interactions using the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. The fruit fly gut carries numerous microbial species, which can be cultured in the lab. The goal is to understand the gut ecology and how it relates to host health, among other questions, by taking advantage of the fast time-scale and ease of studying the fruit fly in controlled experiments.

The mass destruction of Indonesia's rainforests and carbon-rich peatlands for palm oil and paper threatens this and is the main reason why Indonesia is one of the world's largest emitters of climate changing greenhouse gases.
The lives of millions of Indonesians who depend on the forests for food, shelter and livelihoods are also changing beyond recognition as the forest disappears.
This destruction also threatens our wider world; peatlands are perhaps the world's most critical carbon stores, and Indonesia's peatlands are vast, storing about 35 billion tonnes of carbon. When these peatlands are drained, burned and replaced by plantations, carbon dioxide is released and the conditions are set for devastating forest fires, which were responsible, for instance, for Singapore's 'haze wave' in 2013.
Indonesia's forests are the third largest in the world and its swamp-like peatlands are one of the world's biggest carbon stores. But decades of forest clearance to make way for industrial scale plantations is creating a tinderbox. Smoke from...
Procter & Gamble, makers of Head & Shoulders shampoo, continues to source the palm oil found in it's products from suppliers involved with destruction of Indonesian rainforests, home to the last 400 Sumatran tigers left in the wild.
Every year, thousands of hectares of Indonesian rainforest and peatlands are being destroyed to make way for new palm oil plantations. We don't have to clear forests for palm oil - solutions exist and come companies are on track to supply clean,...
The small holder palm oil project run by the farmers of Dosan village in Riau (Sumatra, Indonesia) is demonstrating that sustainable palm oil production and protection of Indonesia's remaining rainforest can go hand in hand.

The Home Search
Keep your options open,
and we will find what you want,
where you want it
and for the best price we can get
Marilyn will discuss with you your housing wants and priorities - which features are essential, which are optional and why. The "why" allows her to identify acceptable alternatives if your dream home doesn't appear immediately. Reality is no home is perfect, so you will have to make trade-offs.
Once the initial criteria is established, she will begin the house hunt with an overview of areas and properties. You will identify communities that appeal to you so you can focus on those areas. Her experience and familiarity with Northern Virginia and DC neighborhoods, home styles and available properties enables you to avoid needless wandering and frustration.
Marilyn monitors the market daily for new listings and price changes in the areas you identify.
You may find it necessary to review our search criteria and make adjustments.Considerations:
Location– If you aren't finding what you want or where you want it to be, it might exist somewhere else. Often the trade-off is location for home or less home in the right location.
Price Range– Moving up in range, especially by changing your financing approach, may open up better possibilities.
Type– Detached, townhouse or condo? Staying in the area and price range, but moving to a townhome or condominium may give access to very workable properties, which still meet your essential needs.
Size– Square footage or extras? Perhaps you can live without the extra bedroom, garage, or family room, if everything else works for you.
Tax Benefits
Don't miss this opportunity! One of the few remaining deductions we have on federal tax returns are real estate...
Your Homework
The research you do before buying is invaluable to your satisfaction with the home selection you make.

Those who have succeeded at anything and don't mention luck are kidding themselves. ~ Larry King
I have been VERY lucky. Last year was an incredibly busy one and whilst I DID work my butt off, lady luck was definitely helping me along. : )
It was a year of some pretty huge 'firsts' for me....my first ever published wedding in 'Wedding' magazine; my first real wedding features on Rock My Wedding, Rock and Roll Bride AND Love My Dress; my first nomination for the Wedding Industry Awards 'Best Photographer' which gained me a Regional Finalist shortlist spot and some incredible feedback from my couples; and my first 'destination' wedding in Ireland (if that counts!) followed by another in France which also meant my first time driving a left hand drive car - scary times.
So yes... an absolutely mind blowing year for the business but a tough year in many other ways. Some days it's still hard to believe I pulled it off! But I did and now I'm excited and looking forward to this new year. I have reached and passed my target for the year with so many incredible weddings & awesome couples booked in and I've still managed to organise my time wisely so I get some weekends off to catch my breath, have a lie in and spend time with my husband (and the new hound!).
Anyway, I won't harp on but THANK YOU to my wonderful husband and incredible friends & family who listen. love and generally put up with me, to all my sha-mazing friends in the wedding industry (Clickers, Baconeers, Guilders, Light Loungers) and my brilliant brilliant couples both those from 2013 who quite frankly rocked the SHIT out of their weddings and those for 2014/15 who I trust will do the same!
Here are some of my favourites. I'd get comfy if I were you, you're going to be here a while. Those that make it to the end, there's bottled water and those silver foil coat thingies...

George Washington's teeth not wooden
Jed Kirschbaum / The Baltimore Sun
|Light from a red laser scans a resin reproduction of the 1789 lower denture originally carved from Hippopatamus ivory for George Washington.Â
Surfing around MSNBC tonight and I come across this rather interesting article.
I remember a few years ago while I was studying for my citizenship exam and someone told me that George Washington's teeth were wooden, I was pretty surprised, and I was thinking Ewww... that wouldn't feel good.  Visualising the results of wood being left in liquid or a wet area for a long time...not a pretty picture if you have to chew on that!
Well this article uncovers the false beliefe that his dentures were made out of wood. The dentures are made from gold, ivory, lead, human and animal teeth (horse and donkey teeth were common components). Interesting combination huh?
Thu, 2006-09-14 16:24
Huh, who knew?!
Throughout childhood we were always taught aboug GW's wooden teeth.
So... are they gonna update the history books?

Fall Fun Outfit // Fall OOTD InspirationOctober 20, 2015
I hate to say it, but snow fell this weekend. Although it didn't stick, brace yourselves for the near-approaching cold. However, I did have a chance to shoot my perfect outfit of the day for you all on a nicer day earlier last week (lucky you)!
My boyfriend and I ventured back to Long Acre Farms again this year for another fun corn maze. The theme for the maze this year was go green and it took us a while, but we conquered the maze and all of it's puzzles!
During our fun adventures I thought how fun would it be to share my cute and simple outfit of the day! Thanks to my boyfriend I got all of these beautiful pictures. Every fall outfit needs some dark colors, my outfit has maroon, gray, and brown which all go well together!
Almost all of my Autumn outfits consist of some layering. It's generally cold in the Autumn here in New York and layers are essential to staying at least moderately comfortable against the harsh wind.
My maroon shirt is by Faded Glory, my industrial jacket is by Mossimo, my distressed jeans are from Aeropostale, and my boots are from Sears! I hope you enjoyed this really simple outfit. Be sure to subscribe to get notifications of every time I post! Thanks for stopping by!

Is time travel really possible? Does hydrogen make a sound? Why is the universe expanding, and why is it accelerating? How does the sun actually work?
Yeah… right away I knew this is my kind of series—intellectually stimulating and yet accessible and concise. One Minute Physics is one of its names, though officially known on YouTube as just Minute Physics, it quickly illustrates findings at the forefront of academic physics in a curt, breezy one-minute-plus format.
The weekly series, which launched in June, comes from the hands of creator Henry Reich, a producer with an unlikely mix of Physics scholar and production veteran. And the two fields aren't just casual interests, Reich earned two degrees in Physics, one at Grinnell College and then a Masters at Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics before leaving Canada and heading to Los Angeles to go after an MFA in Film Production at USC. (Side note: check out Reich's festival-winning Star Wars student film.)
To distribute the series, Reich has a distribution partnership with New Scientist magazine that is fairly open—it selects episodes to run for its readers—but the minutephysics YouTube channel isn't just a passive re-posting, it's a fully breathing life of its own. Reich has grown the channel to over 32,000 subscribers in just over three months, and total views at just shy of 2 million. Not surprisingly, one of the most popular videos is in fact a cat video, but at least we're talking Schrödinger's Cat.
After devouring the entire library of videos on the channel (there are 16 total right now), I had to ask Reich a few questions, and ultimately, make sure he plans on making many, many more.
Tubefilter: What sparked this idea to craft the series?
Henry Reich: I had a lot of fun giving a few public lectures after I finished my masters, and I was somewhat inspired by RSAnimate, xkcd, and Khan Academy – I thought one thing none of them did was present an educational topic in a concise video, with an artistic sensibility, AND have the drawings contribute additional content to the video. Some do one or two… but not all three.
Tubefilter: You have a unique background of physics and production, was this matchup inevitable at some point?
Reich: I suppose so… though I didn't really think this is how it would be playing out. I've always imagined making films that are guided and informed by science, not necessarily with the explicit purpose of education. I'm definitely having fun with it, though!
Tubefilter: How does the partnership with New Scientist TV work?
Reich: It's really fun and open – New Scientist lets me know which videos they're interested in, and I send them over.
Tubefilter: How many videos do you plan on making at this point?
Reich: As long as I can keep going! There's so much depth to physics and math that content will never be the limiting factor – just time, and people's interest in watching.
Tubefilter: How has the response been so far from the academic community?
Reich: From what I've heard, I would say fairly good. Last week's video was in collaboration with Sean Carroll of Caltech and he's promoted some of my other videos on twitter. I've also had social media support from Terence Tao and Neil deGrasse Tyson, so I can't complain there. I really want to focus Minutephysics as much on modern physics and current research as on traditional high school or college classroom physics, so it's really important to be in touch with working physicists.
To be sure, this is not the first online series to take a stab at making complicated science more accessible to the masses. 2009's Sixty Symbols broke down physics and astronomy . It was even a follow-up to creator Martyn Poliakoff's Periodic Table of Videos.

Business Transformation
Your operational model becomes a baseline for your next transformation program, accelerating your ability to initiate and execute large scale business and technology transformation programs.
Incremental changes to your operational model while your transformation program is in-flight automatically cascade into the future state model, unless they have been overidden by transformation program changes.
Process-centric requirements definition results in more complete requirements, without the waste of ill-defined requirements that are not necessary to support your future state operating model.
Importantly process-centric requirements definition empowers the business as it communicates requirements in the context of business process so that they can better understand, review and verify their accuracy and appropriateness.
Future state business processes transform into operational processes and are enriched to form Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The newly developed SOPs may be used to generate training material to help ensure a seamless transition from project into operations.
By incorporating your requirements into your process model, you generate your requirements specifications and tender request documentation directly from the model. This improves integrity of information, saves time and reduces rework.
Requirements defined within the BMS may be automatically synchronised with HP ALM for testing. Test results recorded in HP ALM are synchronised back into the BMS so that results may be summarised and presented in dashboards for business stakeholders.
Change management and training materials may be generated from the model. This saves time and ensures that this critical documentation is kept up to date as adjustments are made to future state, processes, procedures and technology support.
