Create delicious, down-home stuffing in 20 minutes!
For 6 grams of fat and 135 calories per serving, decrease butter to 1/4 cup. In Dutch oven, heat butter and 1/2 cup chicken broth to boiling over medium-high heat. Cook celery and onion in broth mixture. Continue as directed in step 2. 10 servings (1/2 cup each).
Increase salt to 1 1/2 teaspoons. Add 3 cups finely chopped apples and 3/4 cup raisins with the remaining ingredients. 15 servings (1/2 cup each).
Add 1 to 1 1/2 cups roasted chestnuts, shelled and chopped, to stuffing. To roast chestnuts, cut X-shaped slit on one side of shell. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 400°F for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly; remove shells. 12 servings (1/2 cup each).
Simmer heart, gizzard and neck from turkey in water seasoned with salt and pepper 1 to 2 hours or until tender. Add liver during the last 15 minutes of cooking. Drain giblets. Remove meat from neck; finely chop meat and giblets and add with the remaining ingredients. 12 servings (1/2 cup each).
Cook 2 cups sliced mushrooms (about 5 oz) with the celery and onion. 10 servings (1/2 cup each).
Add 2 cans (8 oz each) oysters, drained and chopped, or 2 cups shucked oysters, drained and chopped, with the remaining ingredients. 12 servings (1/2 cup each).
Omit salt. In 10-inch skillet, cook 1 lb bulk pork sausage over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink; drain, reserving drippings. Substitute drippings for part of the butter. Add cooked sausage with the remaining ingredients. 12 servings (1/2 cup each).
You can bake the stuffing separately in a 13x9-inch glass baking dish at 325°F for about 45 minutes. Cover with foil for the first 30 minutes.
If you bake the stuffing separately, spoon some of the drippings from the turkey roasting pan over the stuffing.

10.19: Human Evolution
What is a "cave man"?
What if you were to wake up in the Cenozoic, even in the very recent Cenozoic, but with a group of Neanderthals? They were close relatives, but you might find them to be a bit different from your usual friends.
Human Evolution
Humans evolved during the later Cenozoic. New fossil discoveries alter the details of what we know about the evolution of modern humans, but the major evolutionary path is well understood.
Primate Ancestors
Humans evolved from primates, and apes and humans have a primate common ancestor. About 7 million years ago, chimpanzees (our closest living relatives) and humans shared their last common ancestor.
Animals of the genus Ardipithecus, living roughly 4 to 6 million years ago, had brains roughly the size of a female chimp. Although they lived in trees, they were bipedal. Standing on two feet allows an organism to see and also to use its hands and arms for hunting. By the time of Australopithecus afarensis, between 3.9 and 2.9 million years ago, these human ancestors were completely bipedal and their brains were growing rapidly (Figure below).
Australopithecus afarensis is a human ancestor that lived about 3 million years ago.
The genus Homo appeared about 2.5 million years ago. Humans developed the first stone tools. Homo erectus evolved in Africa about 1.8 million years ago. Fossils of these animals show a much more human-like body structure, which allowed them to travel long distances to hunt. Cultures begin and evolve.
Homo sapiens
Homo sapiens, our species, originated about 200,000 years ago in Africa. Evidence of a spiritual life appears about 32,000 years ago with stone figurines that probably have religious significance (Figure below).
Stone figurines likely indicate a spiritual life.
The ice ages allowed humans to migrate. During the ice ages, water was frozen in glaciers and so land bridges such as the Bering Strait allowed humans to walk from the old world to the new world.
- Australopithecus afarensis was completely bipedal and had a growing brain.
- Homo erectus evolved 1.8 million years ago and left behind signs of an early culture.
- Our species is Homo sapiens, which evolved 200,000 years ago in Africa and continues to today.

TUPELO – On the business side of Easter, clothing stores and grocery stores enjoy a pickup during the days leading up to the holiday.
And of course there's the stuff needed to fill those Easter baskets.
According to the National Retail Federation, nine in 10 Americans will be buying Easter candy of some kind.
But for many Northeast Mississippians, Easter cookies and cupcakes are the preferred treat.
At Endville Bakery, owners Elizabeth and David Gable have been busy filling orders and taking care of walk-in customers.
"They love the cookies," Elizabeth said, pointing to a selection of cookies shaped like rabbits, chicks, eggs and carrots, all decorated with colorful icing to reflect the holiday.
"The orders started last week, and they'll keep coming through Friday," she said. "And if we need to, we'll be here on Saturday for any last-minute orders for Sunday."
Americans will spend more than $145 this year on Easter for candy, decor, clothing and food, the NRF said. That's about what they spent last year.
Budgetary concerns will keep spending flat compared to last year.
But apparently northeast Mississippi won't hesitate buying cookies and cupcakes.
At Rosie's Cookies, Cakes and Cream, orders also are coming in by the bundle.
The decorated egg-shape cookies are popular, as are cupcakes topped with a small egg in a nest.
"Since Monday, we've made 600 cookies," said Holly McCoy. "By the end of the week, we'll have made about 4,500 cupcakes."
Sweet Treats Bakery owner Melinda Conerly is swamped as well, filling orders of Easter bunnies, crosses, eggs and cupcakes.
"Every year it seems to get bigger and bigger," she said. "I think they like the cookies and cupcakes better than the candy."
The NRF survey says Americans will spend roughly $21 on candy, including chocolate and jelly beans. Cookies and cupcakes don't fall into that category however, a spokeswoman said.
Perhaps, said Shari Brown, they fall under the food category.
And according to the group, Americans will spend more than $45 on Easter food this year.

Today, many Americans crossed party lines in sharing their outrage for our Career Politicians in Washington DC. The Tea Parties were not a Republican stunt to unite the base, it was an event for everyone wanting to voice their anger with the shambles our supposed leaders have left us with and are currently making bigger. The out-of-controll spending needs to stop now!
It was great to see citizens of both parties together excersing their right to call their Federal Government out. I for one am looking forward to more! It also made me aware of how many citizens now classify themselves as Independents.

Found out this morning my new puppy has a uti. Anyone else have this before? In such a young puppy?
Printable View
Found out this morning my new puppy has a uti. Anyone else have this before? In such a young puppy?
Yes, a few years ago my one female had a uti that young. Put her on some antibiotics and she was good to go in a few weeks. Give pup more water to help flush out, but then you have to do more frequent potty break. I also remember getting cranberry pills online somewhere....that helpsot balance the pH in the urinary tract. Stress of a new home can bring these on, along with a change in diet if you switched food.
Get some cran caps from Target or wherever and start the pup on them. Keep her on them for a while--even until first heat if you can.
I was having a hell of a time potty training my CLF as a pup, took her to the vet thinking she had a UTI and was told that she had an inverted Vulva basically caused a small crease in the urinary tract causing an irritation, battled her frequent needing to go out until after she went into her first Heat Cycle.
Our puppy got a UTI at 11-12 weeks after coming to us on the Flight From Hell (Thanks to United Airlines - The Worst). Anyway, puppy was sitting in own urine for several hours and developed UTI. My vet put her on antibiotics and we re-tested her as pills were running out and kept her on a different antibiotic for another 3 weeks. I did give her cranberry pills and Vitamin C. Since she is now 11 mos. old and at the trainer, I still have him giving her Vitamin C for good measure, but she is fine. It is important to get the original infection completely cleared up.
Same happened to me, at about 8 weeks too - literally within days of bringing her home. Breeder and vet said it was a bit rare but not impossible for such a young pup. Had another (adult lab) that would also get a UTI after boarding - vet said to give her vitamin C pills leading up to and during the boarding stay - not sure about this for a young pup.
Almost my entire last litter had UTI's. Be certain you treat it aggressively and complete the anti-biotics and do a follow up. One pup did not respond to the antibiotic administered (said it was the "wrong" antibiotic by one)and the infection became more serious and spread to the kidneys. A misdiagnosis of a congential defect by a vet and almost $3,000 later an expert on kidney's in California determined they were normal with the exception of the infection. A 2 month round of a fairly inexpensive antibiotic solved the issue.
The right antibiotic is key to clearing it up permanently and quickly. Be sure to question your vet about which antibiotic they are giving and why. Be sure to go do a follow up visit upon completion of the antibiotics to ensure the UTI is 100% clear. Lots of potty breaks, fresh water, cranberry supplements and lastly, wiping their vaginas with baby wipes a few times a day to keep them extra clean is important.
"wiping their vaginas with baby wipes a few times a day to keep them extra clean is important"
Can you explain the logic behind this?
Thanks for the replies so far. My vet put her on Clavamox antibiotics.Hopefully this will fix it. I do hate giving antibiotics though.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, then see how things actually turned out.
The Pugilist
I hate being under the gun and having limited time to chase a turkey. However, if I'm going to be handicapped, there's no time and place I'd rather do it than opening day in northern Missouri.
That's where I found myself seven springs ago. World-champion caller Steve Stoltz and I could only hunt the season's first day before other obligations made us quit. Oh, and a video guy was trying to film the hunt. However, it was the Missouri opener, and the weather was perfect.
Several gobblers sounded off on the large cattle farm we were hunting. One hit the ground and continued gobbling, coming perhaps a quarter-mile toward us before fading off. A quick move across the pasture put us right in his lap, and Stoltz immediately struck the bird again.
"He's coming this time," Stoltz whispered.
And he was. Soon, his gobbling rattled just 60 yards away, though the bird was hidden by a small crest in the field. Drumming filled the morning air, and my finger began creeping toward the safety.
And then the longbeard made his turkey move. Just as the tip of his fan peeked above the rise, the bird turned and started walking the other way. What? He'd been red hot, and he hadn't seen us. What happened?
There was no time to ponder that question. With the gobbler quickly striding out of range and still hidden by the small hill, we had a split-second decision to make. Should we abandon the camera, crawl to the hill's crest and bushwhack him? Or should we try some new calling tactics to change the bird's mind and bring him back to us?
I glanced nervously at Stoltz. Opening day was fading away.
What would you have done? Post your decision below.

It's not too often that I take notice of the ads on the back of TTC buses. But this morning, one really made me look twice.
The program is called Retire Your Ride:
Retire Your Ride is an initiative of The Government of Canada, Summerhill Impact and its partners, designed to enable people to get their high-polluting cars off the road and reward them for doing so. The program is committed to improving air quality by responsibly recycling vehicles and aims to retire at least 50,000 vehicles per year until March 31, 2011.
If you have a car that needs retiring, we'll recycle its parts in an environmentally responsible way, and reward you for it.
Reducing Emissions and Saving the Environment
Did you know that 1995 model year and older vehicles produce 19 times more smog-forming pollutants than 2004 and newer models? In fact, these older vehicles make up one quarter of vehicles driven by Canadians and can generate as much as half of the smog-forming pollutants caused by personal vehicle use.
By ensuring that vehicles are properly recycled, we can prevent the release of toxins into the environment. By retiring vehicles earlier, you'll be helping reduce harmful emissions.
Okay, the "environment" may not be the biggest incentive out there for many people. So, how about rewards?
When my car was on its last legs my mechanic offered me $300 for it for parts, so this offer isn't quite as low as it sounds.

Student success
Success in Earth and Space Sciences (ESS) courses like Geology of the National Parks (GEOL 1120) depends on a student's preparation and participation as well as on the format of the course.
- Preparation: ENGL 1001 (College Composition) and MATH 0850 (Elementary Algebra) or MATH 0851 and 0852 (Beginning Algebra I and II) are advisories for this course. Students who have successfully completed these advisories succeed in ESS courses like GEOL 1120 at a rate (68%) more than twice that of students who have not (32%). If you have not successfully completed ENGL 1001 and MATH 0850 or MATH 0851 and 0852 you are strongly encouraged to do so before you enroll in GEOL 1120.
- Participation: During the past two years, students who completed this class and submitted at least 90% of their assignments succeeded at a much higher rate (81%) than those who submitted fewer than 90% of their assignments (0%).
- Format: In the long term, students who complete ESS courses that include a lab succeed at a higher average rate (92%) than those who complete either non-lab face-to-face (83%) or online (72%) courses. If you are a student who learns best by hands-on experience or in a group setting you are encouraged to consider taking a lab or face-to-face class.
Course materials
- Textbook (required): Parks and Plates by Robert Lillie (ISBN 0-393-92407-6)
- Online software (required): Hazard City: Assignments in Applied Geology, 4th ed. by King, Carpenter, and Wilson (ISBN 9780321716033)
Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course a student is expected to be able to:
- Infer the likely tectonic setting of a national park from a knowledge of regional geolgic structures and processes, and relate this setting to potential geologic hazards within or near the park;
- Interpret the origins of geologic features in America's national parks in terms of the interplay between tectonic, volcanic, and erosional processes;
- Outline the major events that have shaped North America's geologic history and describe parklands where features related to these events could be observed;
- Correctly formulate, solve, and interpret the results of a variety of problems relevant to introductory geology;
- Determine whether a proposed explanation, experimental result, or observation is consistent with a scientific hypothesis for a natural phenomenon and effectively communicate that analysis to others.

Grades will be based on total scores for:
- 17 weekly quizzes (170 total points);
- 13 weekly exercises (125 total points);
- 3 writing assignments (50 total points);
- 1 comprehensive final exam (55 points).
There will be no alternate or "extra credit" assignments. The final grade will be computed from the total of 400 points, and will be scored as follows: > 90% = A; 80-89% = B; 70-79% = C; 60-69% = D; and < 60% = F. The instructor reserves the right to adjust these percentages if such an adjustment is warranted by the distribution of scores in the class, but under no circumstances will a student who earns <65% or fails to submit any of the writing assignments be assigned a "satisfactory" (A, B, or C) grade.
A student should expect to spend about 9 hours per week reading, taking notes on the text, and working on their activities and homework assignments. Preparation of the writing assignments will require about an additional 12 hours during the course of the semester.
Attendance, withdrawal, and incomplete policies
Regular participation and punctual submission of assignments are required for satisfactory completion of this course. If a student incurs two unexcused "absences" (fails to submit two assignments on time without notifying the instructor) the instructor has the option of dropping the student from the class. If a student incurs four unexcused "absences" the instructor will drop the student from the class. A student may withdraw before the end of fourteenth week (27-Apr-2012) and is responsible for notifying the admissions office and completing all necessary forms. Arrangements for an incomplete contract must be made with the instructor, and an "I" grade will only be issued in the case of an unforeseen personal or family emergency.
Learning DisabilitiesIf you anticipate the need for reasonable accommodations to meet the requirements of this course you must register with the Disabled Student Services (DSPS). If you qualify for services through DSPS, send your official notification of your accommodation needs to your instructor as soon as possible. Disabled Student Services is located in Eddy Hall and can be contacted by calling Donna Farris or Linda Rogers at 938-5297.
Make-up policy for missed work
Although our class schedule will be the same throughout the semester (new assignments will be posted on Monday mornings by 9:00 AM and be due by the following Monday at 9:00 AM) I realize that, occasionally, a student will have unforeseen problems or simply "space out" and miss turning in an assignment in on time. The key to avoiding this problem is to get an early start and complete your assignments well ahead of the Monday due dates. If you do end up missing a deadline, however, do not start the assignment in Etudes (i.e., don't click on it to open it). Instead, contact me as soon as possible within 24 hours of the original deadline (no later than 9:00 AM Tuesday). I will re-open the missed assignment for a short period (typically two days) and suspend the corresponding review for the same period. Each student will be allowed two such "excused" make-ups after which the late assignment policy given below will apply. Because of the tight schedule for turning in final grades, the final exam may not be made up.
Late assignment policy
Except for the excused make-ups mentioned above, late assignments will not be accepted for full credit. If you find yourself having to turn a third or fourth assignment in late you probably should carefully consider whether you have the time or inclination to give this course the attention it requires. Nevertheless, it is better to submit work late than not at all. So, if you are going to be late with a third or fourth assignment contact me no later than 9:00 AM on the Tuesday immediately after the original deadline and I will arrange to extend the submission period for one or two days. Such assignments will be penalized 10% of their original values for each day (or part of a day) they are late.
Academic integrity
Students are encouraged to collaborate with one another as they work on their weekly reading assignments and exercises by posting questions to the discussion board, sending one another private messages, and using the class chat area. I expect that a student will work independently, however, when he or she submits exercise results, takes quizzes and the final exam, and writes his or her outline and abstracts. If I find evidence that any student is not living up to this code of academic integrity (for example, because he or she submits a writing assignment identical or nearly identical to another student's) I reserve the right to drop that student from the class unless it is after the fourteenth week, in which case he or she will receive an F grade regardless of accumulated points.

Your queries on what the future holds for PlayStation Vita are answered by the president of SCE Worldwide Studios.
What happens during a normal working day for you? (phillen9)
In the morning in bed, I check Twitter and re-tweet any good articles or comments about PlayStation. During my commute, I use PlayStation Vita on the bus and also catch up with podcasts about games and gadgets. Once I get to the office, I check emails and attend meetings with the hardware group, studios or marketing. I'll also try the latest versions of our titles in development and keep up with trailers of new games on the Internet.
I spend between a quarter and a third of my time outside Japan, visiting studios and industry events. At home, I play games with my daughters on PS Vita and PlayStation 3.
How will PS Vita compete with ever evolving tablet devices in the future? (Aquamaler)
By providing uncompromised gaming with dual analog sticks and action buttons, new ways for gamers to interact, high production values and full PlayStation Network integration as well as social connectivity. In addition, SCE Worldwide Studios will continue to provide many exclusive titles and experiences on PS Vita.
With games like Gravity Rush being unique to PS Vita, how do you see the system changing the way we look at portable gaming? (Acteon)
Gravity Rush was created from the ground up to take advantage of the unique capabilities of PS Vita, and hopefully people will start to view portable gaming on PS Vita not as watered down versions of console games, but as exciting new experiences that are not available anywhere else, be it on smartphones, tablets or even home consoles.
With the inclusion of a host of new features, we have seen developers create exciting new ways of interacting with games. What has been your favourite use of these features so far? (DeuceDeckard)
I like the many games that place context-sensitive buttons on the touchscreen within easy reach of my thumbs. As far as the rear touch pad goes, shot targeting in EA SPORTS FIFA Football is brilliant, and the stretching and squashing mechanism in TOUCH MY KATAMARI is very fun to use.
Regarding the use of motion sensors, the physics manipulation in Gravity Rush and sniper aim control in Uncharted: Golden Abyss are amazing features. And when it comes to the front and rear cameras, I really enjoy the puzzles in Uncharted: Golden Abyss which Nathan Drake solves by taking photos and the augmented reality games available to download free from PlayStation Store.
I also get a kick from sending a photo of my face to my rivals when I win an online race in WipEout 2048.
How do you see factors like GPS affecting the way we play PS Vita games online? (Laserbrain)
With many games using the functions provided by the revolutionary service "near", GPS - as part of the location data acquisition service on PS Vita - will add another layer to games. People can express where they are and what games they are playing at the touch of a button.
What was the thinking behind "near"? It's a great service for social gaming. (Quaser34)
We wanted to help people to find each other, and find new games, applications and special in-game items based on where they are. The service also provides an easy mechanism for all PS Vita titles to use location data as an innovative social feature. For instance, the Black Market mode in Uncharted: Golden Abyss lets you trade rare treasures with other nearby PS Vita users.
I hope it encourages people to carry their PS Vita systems with them to see what's hot in different places.
Like many gamers, I would like to know how and why you came up with the idea for the rear touch pad? (Killerbeeny)
It was originally proposed by the hardware group of SCEI. After our teams experimented with it, we found lots of interesting uses for it so we decided it was natural to use it for PS Vita. I'm thrilled to see it turn out to be one of the standout features of the system - and I feel we are just scratching the surface of the potential of the rear touch pad.
What are your thoughts on what the future of touchscreen technology might bring for PS Vita? (Markazzz)
PS Vita developers around the world will come up with unique, direct and tactile ideas that make great use of both the touchscreen and the rear touch pad. A great sneak preview of where we might be headed is in one of the mini-games in Little Deviants, in which you pinch a Deviant from both sides of the screen and shoot it like a slingshot.
Augmented reality offers many creative possibilities – how do you see this being integrated into future games? (Squanto666)
I think many games will use AR to let players see game characters superimposed onto a real-life setting. You can already customise game scenes in Reality Fighters, while you're able to snap your own backgrounds in Everybody's Golf. Combinations of AR, location data and network services will be explored for some really futuristic ideas.
Technology is advancing so fast, where do you see PlayStation in ten years' time? (puccaa91)
Hopefully in ten years, PlayStation will be on any electronics device that has a screen, a processor and some kind of input system, and they'll all connect with one another.
To find out more about how the ideas outlined by Shuhei will help PS Vita evolve, make sure you keep an eye on playstation.co.nz and PlayStation.Blog.

Shrimp tank
hello all :)
its me back with a new idea, 3 weeks i bought a boyu zj401a 48L tank for cherry shrimp, the reason i want cherry shrimp is because of their lovely red and the fact that they are apparently the easiest to keep? ph anything between 6.0-8.0? temp 18-30c and can live in both hard and soft water? please correct me if Im wrong this info is from multiple care sheet sites as i like to do a lot of research first.
Are there any other shrimp that are easy to keep but slightly more rare? and can you keep snails with them or will snails stress them?
also my tank light unit has like a 2 prong light, one white one blue and its 18watt would that be able to grow low light plants? such as java moss for the shrimp?
Sounds fine. Bee shrimp are a nice alternative to cherries. Any colour variant will be a bit more fragile than cherriesMy 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

went out today and bought 5 sakura shrimp and they are awesome, i read a lot that people are just calling them super red cherry shrimp but im not to sure, they were twice the price but the colour difference is worth it :) They are getting on fine :)
there is a difference between the 2 but ye. if you want their colors to pop more then feed them carrots and use dark sand and back ground. RCS can get quite redKING OF THE GOLD BARBS RAWR!!!!
I wonder if i plant one of my tiger barbs would the demon seed grow to a full tree?

Mueller, Badgers off to NCAA tournament
Logan graduate is the team's starter at third base
MADISON, Wis. - For the first time since 2005 and only the fourth time in program history, the University of Wisconsin softball team will play in the NCAA tournament.
"It's something that my class and the senior class really wanted to do since we got here," says La Crosse Logan graduate Michelle Mueller. "And the coaching staff has been one of the biggest reasons why we've done it."
The program is just four years removed from a 15-40 record. This season the Badgers are 42-11 and Big Ten Conference Tournament Champions.
"When our class was recruited the pitch they gave us was, 'Why not be the people who put Wisconsin softball on the map?' To live the dream that we're doing right now is something that gives me goose bumps as I talk about it," says Mueller.
"It's a great thing for us. We're excited. We want to take it one game at a time. And we know this is as far as any team has gotten in Wisconsin softball history."
The Badgers on Tuesday traveled to Eugene, Oregon which plays host to the four team NCAA regional. Joining Wisconsin is third-seeded Oregon, BYU, and North Carolina. UW earned an automatic berth after defeating Minnesota in the Big Ten Championship game.
Wisconsin faces North Carolina (39-19) on Thursday at 5 p.m. CT. The Badgers won an earlier meeting between the two schools back on March 15 at the Louisville Classic.
"You got to at least recognize you've beaten a team before," says Mueller. "Just like we knew we could beat Minnesota because we've beaten them before. As the season goes on you get better as a team, we've gotten better and I'm sure North Carolina has gotten better. They're playing for all they have and we're playing for all we have."
"Just to get one win? We have high hopes. We played well this past weekend beating Michigan, we beat Minnesota again. Why not win the regional, why not take it another step? Just keep climbing the ladder, and keep building the success of our program."
Mueller in her junior season has started in 51 of the team's 53 games playing third base. Her batting average is .322 with 17 runs scored, 37 RBI, and 7 home runs. She is also one of five Wisconsin natives on the team.
"The Wisconsin girls who are on the team this year really have to take pride. Not many people get the chance. Like Coach Healy and I talked about it, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to play for your home state. And to be one of the people who really helped made a difference, it's a great feeling and it's something I've always wanted to do as a kid."

Author examines the 'business of AIDS'
Posted November 19, 2008; 05:33 p.m.
Author and epidemiologist Elizabeth Pisani will discuss her new book, "The Wisdom of Whores: Bureaucrats, Brothels and the Business of AIDS," at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 3, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Pisani's book reflects on her work with international efforts to halt the spread of AIDS over the past 14 years and presents her views on why governments are reluctant to fund HIV prevention for the people who need it most.
After working as a journalist for Reuters, the Economist and Asia Times in several Asian countries, Pisani earned a Ph.D. in infectious disease epidemiology from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. She has provided research, analysis and policy advice to the World Bank, the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control as well as to the ministries of health of China, Indonesia, East Timor and the Philippines.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, the Gender and Policy Network, the Center for Health and Wellbeing, and the Princeton AIDS Initiative.

Family: Centrarchidae, Sunfishes view all from this family
Description Besides their distinctive spotted patterns, warmouths can be easily identified and distinguished from other panfish or sunfish by their proportionally large mouths (except green sunfish which also have a proportionally large mouth). Other panfish of the same weight will have mouths 2-3 times smaller than that of the warmouth, whose oral proportions are in line with those of largemouth/black bass. It is often stated that warmouths have the body of a bream (a small common sunfish) and the head of a bass, leading to rumors that it is a man-made crossbreed.
Dimensions Up to 10" (25 cm); 2 1/4 lbs (1 kg).
Habitat Lakes & ponds, Rivers & streams.
Range It is native to a wide area of the United States, from Minnesota to western Pennsylvania in the north and from the Rio Grande in New Mexico east to the Atlantic in the south, inhabiting the heavily vegetated, muddy-bottomed habitats typical of the sunfishes. The Warmouth has also been stocked outside of its native range.
Discussion Warmouths can be very aggressive, and will often strike at lures and baits even after being released by anglers moments before. They are rarely targeted by anglers but are an occasional accidental catch. The world record was caught in Florida and weighed 2lbs 7oz.

BALDWYN – Hancock Fabrics has named a Fred's executive as its new chief financial officer.
In an SEC filing Thursday, the Baldwyn-based craft and fabrics retailer named James B. Brown executive vice president and CFO, effective March 18.
He replaces Larry Fair, who stepped in as interim CFO in December after the resignation of Rob Driskell.
Driskell had been executive vice president and CFO since June 2009.
Fair has been with Hancock Fabrics since 1985. He was vice president and chief accounting officer before assuming the interim CFO role.
Brown, 44, has been senior vice president of finance for Memphis-based discount retailer Fred's since November 2011. He previously was vice president of planning and analysis from June 2008 to November 2011. He was assistant controller from February 2006 to May 2008.
Before joining Fred's, he was senior accounting manager for Pinnacle Airlines, corporate controller for Rotable Asset Management, corporate controller for Transform Pharmaceuticals and assistant controller for Dragon Systems.
He began his career with Feeley & Driscoll, a public accounting firm in Boston.
A U.S. Marine veteran, Brown has a bachelor's degree in accounting and Economics from the University of Puget Sound.
According to the SEC filing, Brown will earn an initial base salary of $215,000, as well as a signing bonus of $35,000. He loses the bonus if he resigns before his second anniversary of his hiring date.

On December 6, 1989, Lépine walked into the École Polytechnique de Montréal. There, he entered a second-floor classroom where he separated the men and women and then ordered the approximately fifty men to leave. Claiming that he was fighting feminism, he shot the nine women who remained, killing six and injuring the rest. After this, Lépine moved to other areas of the building, including the cafeteria, corridors and another classroom. A total of fourteen women (twelve female engineering students, one nursing student, and one female university employee) were killed, and four men and ten women injured before Lépine turned the gun on himself.

Kamoamoa flow

Lava at dawn
13 December 2001
Ponds on caldera floor
Map shows lava flows erupted during the 1983-present activity of Pu`u `O`o and Kupaianaha (see large map). The flows active from December 17, 2000 through November 13, 2001 are shown in red; the active Kamoamoa flow is the westernmost red flow descending Pulama pali and entering the ocean at Kamoamoa. Lava is also pouring into the sea at the long-lasting East Kupapa`u entry and at a relatively new entry, Kupapa`u, 600 m farther southwest.
Most of the recent flows are fed from breakout points at 1920-1700 feet, above Pulama pali in the northern part of the large red area. Lava re-entered the sea near Kamokuna (just east of Kamoamoa) on January 21, 2001, but soon stopped when activity shifted from the western to the eastern branch of the flow. Since then, activity has been divided between the eastern and western branches. Breakouts from the eastern tube system have destroyed hundreds of meters of the Royal Gardens access road.
Lava has been entering the ocean and building a large bench at East Kupapa`u since April 25. A tiny trickle of lava fed through the western tube system dripped into the water just east of Kamoamoa on May 31 but stopped within a day. Thereafter, all lava leaving the island went through the East Kupapa`u entry until September 28-29, when the entry at Kamoamoa started. Yet a third ocean entry began on October 29, near the old Kupapa`u point, 600 m southwest of East Kupapa`u.

I'm still fairly new to the forum, so I'll start by introducing myself. My name is Cody and I'm from the thumb of Michigan. I'll be getting a lab pup the beginning of May. I've had labs growing up at home, but just as family pets. This will be my first hunting dog, and just finishing up college I'm looking to do the majority of training by myself. I feel like I've exhausted the search function here, and haven't really found what I'm looking for, so I thought I'd ask. Sorry if this has been discussed before and I just missed it.
I'm planning on beginning with the Hillmann DVD and then transitioning into Smartworks or TRT. I'm leaning towards Smartworks because it sounds like it's a little more beginner friendly, but I'm still open to suggestions. It sounds like Hillmann transitions well into both, but where is the mesh point for each program? I know the Smartworks bonus basic package has a puppy program included, so would I just skip the puppy DVD and move right into the obedience DVD, or does Hillmann cover that too? How does the transition to Lardy's program work as far as what point to start with? I guess I'm just a little confused as to where I would begin each program after Hillmann.
As a little bit of background, I'm not really planning to trial the dog at this point. He is a pointing lab, and yes I know that's another can of worms, but he'll primarily be a bird dog, mostly for pheasant. I would like to train for his CPR, but I don't know if I'll go past that at this point. I'm not sure I'd be capable of going much further as a first time trainer to be honest. I think I'll catch on fairly quick, but it seems like there is so much to learn.
Sorry for the lengthy post, and thanks for any suggestions.

I'm hoping to release an alpha test version of Ogg Frog around the middle of February. Leading up to that, I'll be posting a series of diaries outlining Ogg Frog's architecture - it's audio architecture in particular - in my Kuro5hin diary. After some further editing, these will become The Ogg Frog Programmer's Guide that will be supplied along with the source code.
The first entry is:

Shake the can of coconut milk or stir it well (this creates a consistent thickness, since the fat often solidifies at the top of the can).
In a 3- to 4-quart saucepan or wok over medium heat, simmer 1/2 cup of the coconut milk, stirring occasionally, until reduced by about half, 3 to 5 minutes. It will get very thick and shiny and may or may not separate; either is fine.
Add the curry paste, whisk well, and cook, continuing to whisk, for 1 minute. Whisk in the broth, sugar, fish sauce, and remaining coconut milk. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Add the carrots, onions, and ginger slices and continue to simmer, adjusting the heat as necessary. After 2 minutes, add the bell peppers and continue to simmer. After another minute, add the fish and simmer for 1 minute more. Add the bok choy and simmer until everything is tender and cooked through, about 1 minute more.
Remove the curry from the heat. Season to taste with more sugar and fish sauce, and add the cilantro. Transfer to a serving bowl (or serve right out of the pot). Remove the ginger slices or tell your guests to eat around them. Garnish with the cilantro, coconut milk, and lime wedges.

I have limited internet access here so it can be difficult to do research. Can someone re-enlighten me on the connection of puppy folds and dwarfism (if there is one)? Would appreciate any links to previous threads or whatever you can provide. Thank you!
Is there a test to determine if puppy folds are "bad" or are folds always bad?
I do CERF my pups as soon as I get them, and have not had issues. But I am interested in what are others finding in their pups?

Christopher Bedford, the 35-year-old chief curator of exhibitions at the Wexner
Center for the Arts at Ohio State
University, has been named the next
director of the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University. He will be the museum's first
director since then school president Jehuda Reinharz and other Brandeis leaders
threatened to close the Rose and sell off its fabulous collection in January
2009 and pushed out then director Michael Rush that summer. Bedford is expected to
begin work on Sept. 15.
Bedford has been at the Wexner
since late 2008, and organized the blockbuster, touring Mark Bradford
retrospective that appeared at Boston's
Institute of
Contemporary Art in 2010.
He's also been doing work with Chris Burden-including editing a planned
collection of Burden's writings for MIT Press-and says he will likely do
something with Burden here. Which suggests that the Rose is on a path to once
again be a curatorial powerhouse in the region-and nationally.
Bedford says the
positive resolution of that threat to the Rose, with the preservation of the
collection and with Brandeis reemphasizing the museum, presents an opportunity.
"It resolved itself in exactly the right way, which struck everybody and me in
particular as a victory," he says. He sees a chance to capitalize on the
international attention the fight brought to Rose.
Bradford says he was attracted to the Rose by the
chance to work with and build a collection ("my God, the collection is
amazing"), the opportunity to continue to work in an university environment, and
his impressions of the university leadership, particularly Provost Steve
Goldstein and President Frederick M. Lawrence, whom he found to be "extremely
passionate about the role of art on a university campus .... There wasn't a
question in my mind about the direction of the
Brandeis adds that "his goals include
commissioning of a major work of public sculpture outside the museum, expanding
the facility and making the Rose a destination point for social activity both on
campus and in the region."
Bradford would like to include
faculty in the development of exhibits and foster seminars around Rose
programming. He says he aims to keep part of the Rose's collection on view at
all times, in rotating selections, including in depth features on single
artists. He aims to continue expanding the collection, building on its strengths
in of post-World War II American painting in particular by using the Rose's
existing collection funds to buy contemporary abstract painting from the
United States and Europe. Also he hopes to attract donations of vintage
Modernist art to "shore up the core."
Asked whether he plans to hire a curator,
Bradford didn't rule it out, but said, "I want
to pursue a slightly more unorthodox structure that would include adjuncts and
contract-based curators." He says he seeks a broader curatorial voice than might
be had with one primary staff curator.
Bedford previously was a
curatorial assistant and then consulting curator in the department of sculpture
and decorative arts at the Getty
Museum in Los Angeles and then an
assistant curator for two years in the Department of Contemporary Art at the Los
Angeles County Museum of Art. A native of Scotland who moved to the U.S. as a teen, Bedford received his bachelor's degree in art history from
Oberlin College in Ohio and
his masters in art history from Case Western Reserve in Cleveland. He's studying
for his Ph.D. in art history-his thesis is on Chris Burden-via the Courtauld
Institute of Art at the University of London.
The announcement of Bedford's hiring comes just
over a year after Frederick M. Lawrence, who began work as Brandeis's president
in January 2011, helped resolve in late June 2011 a lawsuit brought by four
benefactors of the museum in July 2009 aiming to prevent the sale of the
museum's collection. Lawrence told The New England Journal of
Aesthetic Research when the lawsuit was settled that "It is a statement saying
we have no intention to sell the art." The resolution of the case made it
possible for the Rose to be begin to heal and attract top talent again.
Additionally, last fall the museum debuted renovations to its original building,
in particular the removal of an indoor fountain and reflecting
All this is very good news, but Brandeis leaders
who lead the attack on the Rose remain at the school-Reinhartz in a lesser
public capacity as a professor and director of the school's Tauber Institute for
the study of modern European Jewish history; Malcolm L. Sherman is still
chairman of the Board of Trustees.
As for the rest of the current Rose staff,
"Everybody's staying," Brandeis spokesman Bill Berger says. In particular, Roy
Dawes who became the Rose's "director of museum of operations" and lead its
exhibitions program since Rush was pushed out in the summer of 2009, "is
absolutely staying as part of the senior management of the Rose," Berger
Meanwhile Rush, who helped marshal international
opposition to the 2009 threat to take apart the Rose, was named in December 2010
the founding director of the Broad Art Museum, which is expected to open at
Michigan State University in East Lansing in fall 2012. In the beginning of an
essay currently on the Broad website, Rush writes: "In 1924, Supreme Court
Justice Louis Brandeis wrote to his niece in their hometown of Louisville,
Kentucky, encouraging her to assist in creating an art collection at the local
university: 'Living among things of beauty is a help toward culture and the life
worthwhile,' he told her."

The 2002 California Teen Eating, Exercise and Nutrition Survey (CalTEENS) data tables provide detailed information about California adolescent eating and physical activity behaviors. Similar to 2000 data, the 2002 CalTEENS data covers dietary intake and practices, physical and sedentary activity, knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs associated with eating and exercise, as well as factors that influence these behaviors, such as out-of-home eating, social norms, school environment, body weight status, and weight loss practices. The table numbering system is the same over progressing years for ease of reference. The 2002 data analysis for fruits and vegetables was slightly modified to include only juices made from 100% fruit juice.
Using a 30-35 minute telephone survey, 1204 teens between the ages of 12-17 were interviewed. Smoking habits, physical activity habits, overweight status, and risk for food insecurity variables were included on the demographic tables in order to examine clustering behaviors. A "Smoker" was defined as a respondent who reported smoking a whole cigarette in the past thirty days. A respondent was considered to get "Regular" exercise if he/she reported moderate or vigorous exercise for 30 minutes or longer three or more times in the week prior to the survey. A respondent was considered "At Risk for Overweight or Overweight" if their body composition was calculated at BMI greater than or equal to 85th percentile for their gender and age according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Growth Charts, 2000.1 The category of "Income Related Food Risk" was newly created with the 2002 dataset. Since teens cannot meaningfully be asked about family earnings, it is a surrogate measure of low income. Teens responding to being hungry in the past 12 months and/or living in households receiving food stamp benefits and/or WIC benefits were considered as experiencing "Income Related Food Risk". For more information regarding the CalTEENS survey, contact Carolyn Kitzmann at email@example.com.

No wonder he was so adamant about being crammed in a tiny cockpit with a bunch of sweaty, drunk cosmonauts.
Either that or all he heard was "Cosmo" and decided he was so there, girl.
It's a blacked-out blur but I'm pretty sure it ruled.
Now, now... You can't say that about all of us gays. Lance, however... seriously though. This is like Joey Fatone coming out and saying that he's fat. "No... really???!!! I just thought you always wore big clothes!!!"
So if you win The Amazing Race, you hook up with a member of N-Sync? That's a pretty crappy prize.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act is one of the most complex pieces of legislation ever written. Financial service firms and other impacted organizations are just beginning to understand the Act's many facets and its full impact.
Through this series, recognized leaders in our Regulatory practice will take A Closer Look at how the Act will impact several distinct market segments. Many of the new reforms and implementation issues are currently unclear and are subject to rule-making processes and various statutorily directed studies. PwC will continue to monitor developments and provide additional insight and analysis.
|US regulatory outlook: The beginning of the end - July 2014
Four years since Dodd-Frank, several key rulemakings remain.
|Volcker rule clarity: Waiting for Godot - May 2014
While banks continue to wait for regulatory guidance, five key questions need answering.
|Stress testing: A look into the Fed's black box - April 2014
Making sense of the results from CCAR 2014.
|Liquidity coverage ratio: No blood, but sweat and tears - April 2014
Expect changes to the US Liquidity Coverage Ratio when finalized this quarter.
|Derivatives: Global convergence becomes global confusion - September 2013
The CFTC offers a road map and timeline for cross border derivatives regulation, but much uncertainty remains.
|Money market funds: The SEC's long awaited proposal - July 2013
The SEC recently issued a proposed rule that would fundamentally alter money market fund regulation and disclosure.
|Model risk mitigation and cost reduction through effective documentation - June 2013
This A Closer Look discusses regulatory requirements and leading practices around model documentation, and how high-quality documentation can help mitigate model risk and reduce model-related costs.
|The evolution of model risk management - May 2013
This A Closer Look discusses what the new model risk management guidance means holistically for banks and provides a high-level roadmap for evolving the model risk management function.
|Money market reform in flux
Reading the tea leaves on money market fund regulation - October 2012
The mutual fund industry, securities regulators, the Department of the Treasury and banking regulators are engaged in a contentious debate about whether reforms are needed to make money market mutual funds more resilient and resistant to "runs," and if so, what type of reforms would be best. In this A Closer Look, we summarize the existing options for reform and their impact, and handicap possible next steps.
|The creation and usage of Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs) - September 2012
The recent financial crisis has created a universal awareness of reference data and helped elevate it from a back office concern to a critical business function. Specifically, global regulators have recognized that the consistent identification of clients and counterparties must be a key foundational component in any effort to manage systemic risk. Enter the global legal entity identifier (the "LEI").
|US Basel III Regulatory Capital Regime and Market Risk Final Rule - July 2012
In a long-anticipated but not eagerly-awaited action, the three federal banking agencies released three notices of proposed rulemaking that will revise regulatory capital rules for US banking organizations and align them with the Basel III capital standards that were issued in December 2010 and subsequently updated in 2011 (Basel III). In this A Closer Look, we review and analyze the new regulatory capital rules.

|SIFI standards: Single counterparty exposure limits - April 2012
In this A Closer Look, we review and analyze the Federal Reserve Board's new standards for systemically important financial institutions (SIFIs) that introduce a single counterparty exposure (concentration) limit.
To read this edition, please click here.
|The FSOC SIFI Designation Proposal for Nonbank Financial Companies - December 2011
In this A Closer Look, we review and analyze this latest guidance on the process and key factors leading to designation. In addition for NBFCs that believe they may be vulnerable to a SIFI designation, we also describe steps that can be taken to assess the likelihood of designation and the types of information likely to be necessary to counter any such designation in the FSOC three-stage process.
This edition should be of particular interest to insurance companies, specialty lenders, hedge funds, asset managers and other NBFCs that may be concerned about being designated as a SIFI.
|The Volcker Rule Proposal: Regulators Propose Restrictions on "Covered Funds" - December 2011
In October 2011, the FRB, OCC, FDIC, and SEC issued a Proposed Rule to implement the Volcker Rule provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, which prohibits proprietary trading by banking entities and restricts those entities from sponsoring, investing in, or having certain relationships with hedge funds and private equity funds.
Following our earlier A Closer Look titled The Volcker Rule Proposal: A Focus on Proprietary Trading, this A Closer Look describes the proposed prohibition on banking entities' sponsoring, investing in, or having certain relationships with hedge funds or private equity funds.
|SEC and CFTC Adopt Final Rules Requiring Registered Advisers to Private Funds to File New Form PF - November 2011
In October 2011, the SEC and the CFTC adopted final rules as mandated by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act to require registered advisers to report on new Form PF information concerning the private funds they advise. Focused on private funds' basic operations and strategies, the information reported on Form PF will aid the SEC, the CFTC, and the FSOC in their assessment of systemic risk. While the final rules on Form PF were anticipated, they are complex, and will have significant operational impact on registered advisers to private funds. This A Closer Look describes the final rules requiring new Form PF and their impact.
|SEC Adopts Final Rules for Investment Adviser Registration- July 2011
On June 22, 2011, the SEC adopted final rules as mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act to require many advisers to private funds -- which were previously exempt from registration -- to become registered as investment advisers with the SEC. The final rules also establish new exemptions from the adviser registration rules. The deadline for advisers to register is March 30, 2012. In addition, the final rules will require advisers to submit new information to the SEC periodically -- even those advisers that are exempt from registration. These final rules, while anticipated, will have significant impact on advisers to private funds. This A Closer Look describes the final rules and their impact on investment advisers.
|Impact On Swap Data Reporting- June 2011
Swap data reporting is a cornerstone of the new derivatives regime created by the Dodd-Frank Act. In an effort to increase transparency and integrity in the derivatives markets, proposed Dodd-Frank regulations will require information about every swap or security-based swap (SBS) transaction to be sent to new swap data repositories or a government agency. This A Closer Look describes the proposed swap data reporting rules and suggested responses for swap market participants.
|Impact on Advisers to Private Equity Funds- May 2011
The Dodd-Frank Act will for the first time bring private equity fund advisers under the oversight of the SEC. The SEC recently indicated that private fund advisers—including advisers to private equity funds—will have until the first quarter of 2012 to complete their SEC registration and come into compliance with their new obligations under the Advisers Act. Advisers should use this brief additional time to ensure that they have implemented effective controls and compliance programs and are fully ready for registration. This A Closer Look describes the impact of Dodd-Frank on private equity advisers and looks into some of the particular issues they'll face.
|Impact on Disclosures Related to the Use of "Conflict Minerals" - April 2011
While Dodd-Frank is predominantly focused on financial regulatory reform, it also includes a number of corporate governance and disclosure requirements that are designed to achieve other public policy objectives. Among these is Section 1502, which requires new procedures and disclosures by all issuers (domestic and foreign) who use so-called "conflict minerals" in their products or manufacturing processes. In this A Closer Look, we focus on the potential impact on all companies that use these types of minerals.
|Incentive-Based Compensation Requirements for Certain Firms- April 2011
The Dodd-Frank Act requires enhanced disclosure of incentive-based compensation arrangements by certain banks, credit unions, investment advisers, brokerage firms, and other financial institutions. It also prohibits any type of incentive-based compensation that, in the regulators determination, encourages inappropriate risks by providing excessive compensation, or has the potential to cause material financial loss to the covered firm. Regulators are directed to jointly adopt rules and guidelines to implement this provision. This A Closer Look provides a description of the incentive-based compensation restrictions and describes the proposed rule and its impacts, should the rule become final in its present form.
|Reporting by Private Fund Advisers on Form PF- March 2011
The SEC and the CFTC recently proposed a new rule that would require registered investment advisers to private funds to file new reports that would help the agencies assess those advisers' systemic risk. The proposal is intended to implement Section 404 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. If adopted, the rule would impose substantial reporting burdens on affected advisers, particularly those with over $1 billion in assets under management. This A Closer Look describes the proposal and its possible impact on advisers to hedge funds, private equity funds, and liquidity funds.
|Impact on Human Capital- March 2011
A stated goal of the Dodd-Frank Act was to improve transparency and accountability in the US financial system. Due to the Act's breadth and the time regulators will need to interpret and implement its many provisions, industry experts anticipate that it will take several years for changes to be fully instituted. This A Closer Look will look at the impact of Dodd-Frank to an organization and its human capital.
|A Uniform Fiduciary Standard for Broker-Dealers and Investment Advisers: The SEC's Study- March 2011
The SEC recently released Study on Investment Advisers and Broker-Dealers, its staff's study evaluating the standards of care for broker-dealers and investment advisers when providing personalized investment advice and recommendations about securities to retail customers. This A Closer Look describes the study, as well as some of the implications of its recommendations.
|SEC Study on Investment Adviser Oversight- March 2011
On January 19, 2011, the SEC released its study on the need for enhanced examination and enforcement resources for investment advisers, as required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. This A Closer Look describes the study and the three options it proposes in more detail.
|Special Edition: Dodd-Frank at the Six-Month Milestone, A Work in Process- March 2011
As a part of our ongoing Dodd-Frank A Closer Look series, we are pleased to provide you with a special edition in our A Closer Look series. This special edition A Closer Look, Dodd-Frank at the Six-Month Milestone, A Work in Process, summarizes the key progress on Dodd-Frank at the six-month milestone.
|Impact on Thrifts & Thrift Holding Companies - February 2011
While many financial and nonfinancial companies will see their businesses change under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank, or "the Act"), perhaps no group faces more substantial challenges to its business model's long-term viability than thrifts and thrift holding companies. Technically, thrift holding companies are regulated as "savings and loan holding companies." We use instead "thrift holding companies" to reflect the fact that thrift is a more encompassing description of institutions with a savings association charter. This A Closer Look explores the impact of Dodd-Frank on thrifts and thrift holding companies.
|Impact on Executive Compensation - December 2010
Dodd-Frank will require some major changes in executive compensation arrangements at public companies. These new provisions will have a direct impact on the way corporate America seeks input from shareholders on the terms of executive compensation programs and discloses information about those programs. In this A Closer Look, we focus on the Act's requirements associated with executive compensation arrangements, and explore some of the strategic, operational, and financial reporting decisions companies will face as implementation of the Act gets underway in 2011.
|Impact on Nonfinancial Companies - December 2010
Most nonfinancial companies are aware of the corporate governance provisions of Dodd-Frank that will require certain near-term changes; however, many companies may not have focused on other ways the Act will directly or indirectly impact their operations and strategy. At this early stage of implementation, the key question for many nonfinancial companies is "What is the Act's potential impact on my business?" -- whether in the form of more regulation, increased costs, or having to adapt to new structural features, ways of doing business, and managing risk in the financial markets. This A Closer Look provides context and perspective on areas of Dodd-Frank of particular concern to nonfinancial companies.
|Impact on Advisers to Real Estate Funds - November 2010
Dodd-Frank impacts investment advisers in multiple ways. Some of these ways are quite clear, such as the requirement for hedge fund and private equity fund managers to register with the SEC; others will become clear once regulators begin setting rules to define the Act and the scope of its coverage. This A Closer Look provides an initial perspective on the impact the Act may have on advisers to real estate funds.
|Impact on Securitization Activities: the Retention Requirements - October 2010
Subtitle D of Title IX of Dodd-Frank is intended to prompt improved practices and enhanced disclosures with respect to securitization activities. The Act is expected to significantly impact the activities and reporting of entities involved in the securitization of financial assets - including issuers of asset-backed securities and their sponsors, as well as originators of the underlying collateral sold to such securitizers. In this A Closer Look, we focus on Section 941 of Subtitle D, which deals exclusively with credit risk retention.
|Impact on Information Technology and Data - October 2010
While there is still much to be done by regulatory agencies regarding Dodd-Frank mandated rulemaking, it is clear that there will be an impact on IT platforms and the associated data architecture. These impacts start with required changes to business operating models and extend to the underlying business applications and data structures that support them. This A Closer Look provides an initial perspective on the impact the new rules may have on financial services firms and IT service providers to the Financial Services industry and how they will need to address these IT and data changes.
|Impact on Credit Rating Agencies - September 2010
Dodd-Frank will have a significant impact on the activities, organization, and practices of the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs or credit rating agencies). The Act imposes new liability exposure on the credit rating agencies, mandates new internal control requirements, places specific prohibitions to address conflicts of interest, and provides for increased SEC oversight. This A Closer Look provides some context and perspective on the new law and its implications for NRSROs.
|Impact on Non-US Asset Managers - August 2010
Dodd-Frank is likely to have significant impact on non-US asset managers who have clients in the US. Managers that were formerly exempt from registration will need to register as investment advisers with the SEC. This A Closer Look continues our examination on how Dodd-Frank will likely impact asset managers, particularly those not based in the US.
|Impact on Foreign Banking Organizations and Foreign Nonbank Financial Companies - August 2010
Dodd-Frank applies US national treatment policies to foreign banking organizations (FBOs) that do business in the United States. The Act also reaches foreign nonbank financial companies (NFCs) that are predominantly engaged in financial activities in the United States and that are found by the FSOC to be systemically important and required to be supervised by the FRB. This A Closer Look continues our review of the "systemically important" provisions of Dodd-Frank and examines the impact some of these provisions may have on FBOs and foreign NFCs.
|Impact on The SEC's Enforcement and Examination Activities - August 2010
Dodd-Frank enhances the enforcement and oversight powers of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in many respects. It provides the SEC's Division of Enforcement with a host of new legal tools, some of which it has sought for years. This A Closer Look provides our initial perspective on how Dodd-Frank—along with the new rules that the SEC will adopt to implement it—will impact financial services firms and other securities market participants.
|Impact on Systemically Important Bank Holding Companies, Nonbank Financial Companies, Financial Market Utilities and Payment, Clearing and Settlement Services - August 2010
Several parts of Dodd-Frank are focused on systemic risk concerns. Bank holding companies (BHCs) with $50 billion or more in consolidated assets are automatically designated as systemically important. Other categories — nonbank financial companies (NFCs), financial market utilities (FMUs) and payment, clearing, and settlement services — must be designated as systemically important. What is likely to trigger such designations? Will size always be the dominant factor?
|Impact on Banks, Thrifts, and Their Holding Companies - August 2010
While much attention has been paid to Dodd-Frank's new provisions relating to systemically important firms, other provisions of the Act affect all banking and thrift institutions. Those are the issues we highlight in this A Closer Look, putting specific emphasis on regulatory consolidation; capital adequacy considerations; the Volcker Rule; compensation standards; and new corporate compliance requirements for banks, thrifts, and their holding companies.
|Impact on OTC Derivatives Activities - August 2010
Dodd-Frank will significantly change the oversight and structure of the US over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives markets. As regulatory implementation and supervisory determinations occur during the transitional periods over the next several years, the US derivatives markets' scope, structure, execution mechanisms, pricing, margin/collateral requirements, and supervision will be reshaped. This A Closer Look provides some context and perspective on these key changes.
|Impact on Consumer and Mortgage Banking - August 2010
Dodd-Frank will have wide-ranging impact on anyone providing retail financial services in the United States. Dodd-Frank creates a new independent regulator and supervisor, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which will have the authority to promulgate rules designed to ensure that US consumers receive clear, accurate information to help them evaluate mortgages, credit cards, and other financial products, and to protect them from hidden fees, abusive terms, and deceptive practices.
|Impact on Insurance Companies - August 2010
This A Closer Look provides an initial perspective on the impacts of Dodd-Frank may have on insurance companies, from an overall regulatory structure standpoint as well as via new requirements that are applicable to portions of certain insurance companies' business. Particularly for large global insurers and insurance companies that own thrift institutions, the potential designation as a systemically important nonbank financial institution will have a significant impact on how insurers navigate through their regulatory future. This A Closer Look provides an initial perspective on the impact some of these considerations may have on insurance companies.
|Impact on Alternative Asset Managers - August 2010
All hedge fund and private equity fund advisers that are required to register with the SEC must do so before July 21, 2011, and must be fully compliant with requirements under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (Advisers Act). The SEC will draft rules to implement the Act, and will likely require advisers to private funds to file reports containing such information as the SEC deems necessary to protect investors or for the assessment of systemic risk. This A Closer Look provides our initial perspective on how Dodd-Frank may likely impact alternative asset managers.
|Impact on Investment Advisers - August 2010
Dodd-Frank will impact investment advisers in multiple ways. Some of these ways are quite clear, such as the requirement for hedge fund and private equity fund managers to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); others will become clear once regulators begin setting rules to define the Act and the scope of its coverage. This A Closer Look provides an initial perspective on the impact some of these considerations may have on investment advisers.
|Impact on Retail-Broker Dealers - August 2010
Dodd-Frank may have a significant impact on broker-dealers, though much of the impact will depend on how regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), interpret its mandate and craft implementing rules. This A Closer Look is our initial perspective on how Dodd-Frank and its implementing regulations could impact broker-dealers with respect to their obligations and interactions with retail investors.

Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series:
Planetary Protection & Hitchhikers in the Solar System--The Danger of Mingling Microbes
April 22, 2009
7 to 8:30 p.m.
As part of the 10th annual Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series,
Dr. Margaret Race
, one of the leading experts on contamination danger and the protection of planets, will discuss
Planetary Protection & Hitchhikers in the Solar System: The Danger of Mingling Microbes
, an illustrated, non-technical lecture,
Wednesday, April 22, at 7 p.m.
in the Smithwick Theatre at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills. This talk is part of the local events celebrating the
International Year of Astronomy in 2009
. Admission is free and the public is invited. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Arrive early to locate parking.
Scientists searching for life elsewhere have to worry about avoiding harmful cross contamination during the exploration of planets and their moons. We don't want to take Earth microbes to Mars or bring back alien microbes to Earth. In this timely talk, Dr. Race will give a behind-the-scenes view of environmental management planning for solar system missions, and explain the role of the
Outer Space Treaty
and other related national and international policies. She will also discuss the varied societal issues likely to arise from discoveries about life beyond the Earth-issues about the meaning of life, its future evolutionary trajectory, and environmental sustainability in the universe.
Dr. Race is an ecologist at the SETI Institute who works with NASA and the international space community to develop, refine and apply planetary protection policies to missions to the planets. She has organized and edited proceedings for a number of conferences in this field, and served on panels evaluating contamination danger for the National Research Council. She has a strong interest in communicating science to the public, having worked at both the Environmental Protection Agency and KQED Television.
The free lecture series is sponsored by the
Foothill College Astronomy Program
NASA Ames Research Center
SETI Institute
Astronomical Society of the Pacific

[FONT=arial]Family Guy to Retell Star Wars: Episode IV [/FONT]
[FONT=arial] Source: [FONT=arial][FONT=arial]Variety[/FONT] [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=arial]May 25, 2007[/FONT]
[FONT=arial]Fox's animated hit "Family Guy" will kick off its fifth season this September with an hourlong episode that retells the "Star Wars" saga using "Family Guy" characters.
Variety says Lucasfilm has blessed the event, which will have the Griffin family acting out all the key scenes and narrative from Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane is a major "Star Wars" fan and was personally involved in getting Lucasfilm on board.
Not surprisingly, family patriarch Peter Griffin will play the role of Han Solo, while mom Lois will appear as Princess Leia. Evil baby Stewie will be Darth Vader, natch.
Brian the family dog will serve as Chewbacca, while son Chris is Luke. Robots R2-D2 and C-3PO will be handled by Cleveland and Quagmire, respectively, while creepy old guy Herbert gets the Obi- Wan character.
The plot of the episode has the Griffin family stuck at home during a blackout. With no TV to entertain them, Peter decides to tell a story --- leading to the "Star Wars" flashback.[/FONT]
