Agencies Issue Final Rules on Identity Theft Red Flags and Notices of Address Discrepancy
WASHINGTON – The federal financial institution regulatory agencies and the Federal Trade Commission have sent to the Federal Register for publication final rules on identity theft "red flags" and address discrepancies. The final rules implement sections 114 and 315 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003.
According to a report of the President's Identity Theft Task Force, identity theft (a fraud attempted or committed using identifying information of another person without authority), results in billions of dollars in losses each year to individuals and businesses.
The final rules require each financial institution and creditor that holds any consumer account, or other account for which there is a reasonably foreseeable risk of identity theft, to develop and implement an Identity Theft Prevention Program (Program) for combating identity theft in connection with new and existing accounts. The Program must include reasonable policies and procedures for detecting, preventing, and mitigating identity theft and enable a financial institution or creditor to:
The final rules also require credit and debit card issuers to develop policies and procedures to assess the validity of a request for a change of address that is followed closely by a request for an additional or replacement card. In addition, the final rules require users of consumer reports to develop reasonable policies and procedures to apply when they receive a notice of address discrepancy from a consumer reporting agency.
The attached final rulemaking is issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Trade Commission, the National Credit Union Administration, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Office of Thrift Supervision. The final rules are effective on January 1, 2008. Covered financial institutions and creditors must comply with the rules by November 1, 2008.
The final rules are attached and will be published shortly.

My name is Adam G and I am the main editor on this blog. I am responsible for editing and posting any article submissions sent to this site. Living in Canberra, Australia I became a fan of the club after reading an interesting article about the new signings of John Carew and Ashley Young. After being intrigued about Aston Villa's history and it's potential for success I became a full-time Aston Villa fan in the winter of 2007 making me a fan of the club for over 8 years. I've previously written articles for Avillafan.com and submitted frequent articles to the Vital Villa site.
Having lived in over 4 countries I am currently 19 years of age and I can be contacted through this email address:
Hi all, my name is Ooahpaulmcgrath and I am a joint owner of the site along with Badger123.
I started watching Villa in the early 70′s in the old third division, in the days of Andy Lochhead and "Chico" Hamilton. My favourite era at Villa was in the days of Sir Ron Saunders.
The Villa team he built with a forward line of Gray, Little and Graydon was superb and played arguably the best football ever seen at VP, including a 5-1 hammering of the then mighty Liverpool in the 76-77 season.
I followed Villa home and away through the 70′s and 80′s and the highlight of course was that night in Rotterdam. I still go to as many games as possible but due to a change in personal circumstances, I do not go to as many games as I used to.
I can be contacted at email@example.com
Blog co-owner who has lived in or around Erdington, Birmingham for all my life, which is 50(ish) years. Of course, I've been a Villa supporter ever since I can remember and my very first game was against Bournemouth when we were in the third division as it was then. That was it, I was instantly hooked.
When I was younger, I travelled all over the country following the Villa, but these days, as a self employed Tradesman whose work takes me all over the country, I very rarely get chance to go. My love for the club remains just as strong though and it's near enough the first thing I think about every day.
I know, it's corny.
But true.
I can be contacted directly at firstname.lastname@example.com
23 Year old Aston Villa fan born and still living in Birmingham. I work in the Film and TV industry which keeps me working hard and long hours, so I take great pleasure in those moments when the Villa play and even more so when we win! I will write as much as I can for this site and hopefully you may not agree with the content, but appreciate and like the articles.
If anybody wishes to contact me, they can do so at email@example.com

The best way to get and stay hydrated is, of course, by drinking water. In our bodies, water helps to digest food and transport nutrients and oxygen to all cells of the body. It helps cushion our joints and organs, and it carries waste products out of our body. In the summer months, when the temperatures rise, staying hydrated is even more important. But what if you don't like drinking plain water?
A healthy and tasty way to stay hydrated is to try infused water. Though very healthy, sometimes your traditional, plain water just gets boring. Infused water includes adding different fruits, vegetables and/or herbs and spices. Not only do you get the benefits of getting hydrated, but you also gain flavor without all the excess sugars and chemicals that are in beverages such as pop, sweetened teas or flavored coffees. Another benefit you get, besides how pretty the water looks, are the antioxidants and vitamins that are released into the water from the fruits, vegetables or herbs/spices.
There are several combinations to keep you busy. Some fruits may work better than others; for example, berries tend to break down faster.
Some ingredients, like mint, may need to be "muddled" to allow for flavors to escape. To muddle, simply mash your ingredients at the bottom of your glass.
If you prefer stronger flavors, prepare your water a day ahead and let it sit overnight in the refrigerator. Try some of these favorite pairings: cherries with lime and mint, strawberries with peaches or kiwis, cucumber with lemon and ginger root, lime with orange and rosemary, raspberries with mint and lime. For even more fun, place cut produce in ice cube trays and fill remaining space with water and freeze.
Cherry Limeade
All you need:
• 6-8 mint leaves
• 10 pitted cherries, cut in half
• 1 key lime, sliced thinly
• ice
• 1 liter water (still or sparkling)
All you do:
Muddle mint leaves in bottom of glass. Combine mint with pitted cherries, sliced lime, ice and water. Let steep 30 minutes before serving.

Tavon Austin, Marquise Goodwin challenge combine's record 40 time
Tavon Austin tied for the West Virginia team lead with 114 receptions last season. (Ben Liebenberg/AP)
INDIANAPOLIS -- Texas receiver Marquise Goodwin said Friday that he had plans to break Chris Johnson's scouting combine-record 40-yard-dash time of 4.24. He, as well as West Virginia's Tavon Austin, came within an eyelash of doing just that.
Austin was the first player to run the 40 on Sunday, and he clocked in at an eye-popping 4.25. Moments later, Goodwin matched that mark. Goodwin got the best of the pair's second runs, posting a 4.29 to Austin's 4.31. Those numbers rose after they were made official -- Goodwin's best mark was 4.27, Austin's 4.34 (Texas A&M's Ryan Swope also ran a 4.34).
"I want to run the fastest ever," Goodwin said earlier this week. "That is my goal."
Said Austin: "I'm trying to run at 4.3 or maybe 4.2."
The importance of 40 times on a player's draft stock is a debate that occurs every offseason following the combine. The general consensus: Those times are mostly negligible for positions like offensive guard (Chance Warmack, still considered an elite option, posted a lumbering 5.49), but often a critical measure for spots like wide receiver and running back.
That said, everyone knew that Goodwin, a track star at Texas and member of the 2012 United States' Olympic team, had wheels. Austin's nearly record-setting time came as a bit more of a surprise -- most expected him to land somewhere at about 4.3.
Assuming Austin follows up that 40 with a strong performance in the rest of his combine drills, the 5-foot-8 athlete might solidify a spot in Round 1 of the draft. His game took off in Dana Holgorsen's offense -- he had 101 catches in 2011, then topped that with 114 in 2012. Counting the return game, Austin recorded a whopping 2,910 total yards last season.
Austin already is being suggested as a possible replacement for pending free agent Wes Welker in New England, which should offer an indication of his current reputation. In light of his blazing 40 performance, though, it looks less likely than ever that Austin will still be on the board come the Patriots' pick at No. 29.
Goodwin, on the other hand, could linger into Round 3 or beyond. His case will be one of the more interesting in the draft -- Goodwin's pure speed is undeniable, but he's a relatively unpolished receiver and may not be ready to make an every-down impact in the NFL.

History of Edogawa (Sakurai Family)
Sakurai Fishing Tackle was established in 1888 inTokyo. The founder, Shintarou Sakurai (Also known as Edogawa I), opened a small fishing tackle shop by the Edogawa River with his father, Jisaburou (he originally was dexterous and creative enough to make lots of crafts). While the business prospered, Shintarou, at the age of twelve, became interested in "Wa-zao" (traditional Japanese fishing rod) handmade by "Maestro Saoji", a famous wa-zao artisan at the time. Saoji used to sell his wa-zao at wholesale to the shop. Thus, while Shintarou sold Saoji`s rods, he also began to intently learn how to make wa-zao by Saoji though Shintarou was not an official pupil. Later, Hiroshi Sakurai, or Edogawa II, opened his own shop at the age of twenty-three in Kanda, a very famous street near Ginza.
Edogawa II was not only a master of fishing but also talented in rod making. Japan being a treasure-trove of high-quality bamboo, he succeeded in exporting mass-produced Japanese style hexagonal split bamboo and cane rods to the United States after WWII. He also continued to manufacture various original Japanese fishing rods using split bamboo, ranging from surf fishing to deep-sea rods. Inspired by the flexibility of the nylon threads by DUPONT Company, he created the world's-first artificial soft plastic bait, the Sakura Bait. From then on, Edogawa II and III cooperated to develop the basis of atelier Edogawa under the concepts of wa-zao, and decided to call it "Splendid Action". To this day, the concepts of Edogawa rods are still based on this, though the main materials used in the fishing rods have changed from bamboo to glass fiber or carbon graphite fiber.
A birdcage "Sashiko" for white-eye by Jisaburou Sakurai from about 1868. It is decorated with ivory, and painted with Urushi (pure Japanese lacquer).
In 1953, 10000 pieces of fly rods being shipped to U.S.A.

Piero Ferrari receives "Sport Civilt├Ā" award
Yesterday Piero Ferrari, Vicepresident of the Prancing Horse, received the "Sport e Lavoro" – Sport and Labour – award at the 36th edition of the ŌĆ£Sport Civilt├ĀŌĆØ Award event held in Parma.
The event is organised by the Sports Veterans' Union under the patronage of the city, the province and the chamber of commerce of Parma. Numerous athletes and famous people from the world of sports, who made a difference in 2012, joined the event, such as markswoman Jessica Rossi and Paralympics cyclist Vittorio Podest├Ā, who recently visited the Ferrari Works with other London 2012 medal winners. "Sport Civilt├Ā" is an instrument to promote sports as a way of prospering and formation, especially regarding the younger generations.
An award Piero Ferrari wants to share with the men and women from the Works, where the economic and motorsport results are the fruits of "the passion, the team spirit and the wish to always improve, day after day without ever being satisfied by the reached goals".

Every spring/summer season, I'm amazed that designers find new ways to reinvent the swimsuit. What felt was new about the most recent batch of beachside offerings was its diversity. In addition to updates on the classic one-piece tank (Oscar de la Renta) and skimpy string bikini (Chloé), designers delivered reinventions of the one-shouldered suit (Stella McCartney), the bandeau (Fendi), the cutout middle (Gucci), the pinup maillot (Dolce and Gabbana), and the Bond-girl bottom (Hervé Léger).
Such a democratic embrace of swimwear feels like a real victory here at ELLE. Here, I've narrowed down seven styles to play up your fashion personality, showcase your physique, and make you stand out.

Cloud Computing for Accountants
Visits (17831)
Last week, I presented "An Introduction to Cloud Computing" for two hours to the local Institute of Management Accountants [IMA] for their Continuing Professional Education [CPE]. Since I present IBM's leadership in Cloud Storage offerings, I have had to become an expert in Cloud Computing overall. The audience was a mix of bookkeepers, accountants, auditors, comptrollers, CPAs, and accounting teachers.
I have posted my charts on Slideshare.Net:
Ima Cloud Computing Mar2010 V8
View more presentations from Tony Pearson.
Here is a sample of the questions I took during and after my presentation:If I need to shut down host machine, I lose all my virtual machines as well?
No, it is possible to seemlessly move virtual machines from one host to another. If you need to shut down a host machine, move all the VMs to other hosts, then you can shut down the empty host without impacting business.Does the SaaS provider have to build their own app, can they not buy an app and then rent it out?
Yes, but they won't have competitive differentiation, and the software development they buy from will want a big cut of the action. SaaS developers that build their own applications can keep more of the profits for themselves.How do backups work in cloud computing? Do I have to contact someone at the cloud computing company to find the backup tape?
Large datacenters often keep the most recent backups on disk, and older versions on tape in automated tape libraries that can fetch your backup in less than 2 minutes. Because of this, there is no need to talk to anyone, you can schedule or invoke your own backups, and often perform the recovery yourself using self-service tools.Last month, my sister tried to rent a car during the week the Tucson Gem Show, but they were out of cars she wanted to drive. Could this happen with Cloud Computing?
Not likely. With rental cars, the cars have to be physically in Tucson to rent them. Rental companies could have brought cars down from Phoenix to satisfy demand. With Cloud Computing, it is all accessible over the global network, you are not limited to the cloud providers nearest you.Is there a reason why Amazon Web Services (AWS) charges more for a Windows image than a Linux image?
Yes, Amazon and Microsoft have a patent cross-licensing agreement where Amazon pays Microsoft for the priveledge of offering Windows-based images on their EC2 cloud infrastructure. It just makes business sense to pass those costs onto the consumer. Linux is a free open source operating system, and is often the better choice.So if we rent a machine from Amazon, they send it to my accounting office? What exactly am I getting for 12 cents per hour?
No. The computer remains in their datacenter. You get a virtual machine that runs 1.2Ghz Intel processor, with 1700MB of RAM, and 160GB of hard disk space, with Windows operating system running on it, comparable to a machine you can get at the local BestBuy, but instead of it running in the next room, it is running in a datacenter somewhere else in the United States with electricity and air conditioning. You access it remotely from your desktop or laptop PC.Why would I ever rent more than one computer?
It depends on your workload. For example, Derek Gottfrid at the New York Times needed to convert 11 million articles from TIFF format to PDF format so that he could put them up on the web. This would have taken him months using a single computer, so he rented 100 computers and got the entire stack converted in 24 hours, for a cost of about $240. See the articles [Self-Service, Prorated, Super Computing] and [TimesMachine] for details.What about throughput? Won't I need to run cables from my accounting office to this cloud computing data center?
You will need connectivity, most likely from connections provided by your local telephone or cable company, or through the Internet. Certainly, there can be cases where direct privately-owned fiber optic cables, known as "dark fiber", can directly connect consumers to local Cloud service providers, for added security.What about medical records? Will Cloud Computing help the Healthcare industry?
Yes, hospitals are finding that digitizing their records greatly reduces costs. IBM offers the Grid Medical Archive Solution [GMAS] as a private cloud storage solution to store X-ray images and other electronic medical records on disk and tape, and these records can be accessed from multiple hospitals and clinics, wherever the doctor or patient happens to be.The advantage of personal computers was individualization, I could put on my own choices of software, and customize my own settings, won't we lose this with Cloud Computing?
Yes, customized software and settings cost companies millions of dollars with help desk calls. Cloud Computing attempts to provide some standardization, reducing the amount of effort to support IT operations.Won't putting all the computers into a big datacenter make them more vulnerable to hackers?
Security is a well-known concern, but this is being addressed with encryption, access control lists, multi-tenancy isolation, and VPN connections.My daughter has a BlackBerry or iPod or something, and when we mentioned that someone in Phoenix wore a monkey suit to avoid photo-radar speed cameras, she was able to pull up a picture on her little hand-held thing, is this the future?
Yes, mobile phones and other hand-held devices now have internet access to take advantage of Cloud Computing services. People will be able to access the information they need from wherever they happen to be. (You can see the picture here: [Man Dons Mask for Speed-Camera Photos])
IBM offers a variety of Cloud Computing services, as well as customized solutions and integrated systems that can be deployed on-premises behind your corporate firewall. To learn more, go to [ibm.com/cloud].
The second speaker was local celebrity Dan Ryan presenting the financials for the upcoming [Rosemont Copper] mining operations. Copper is needed for emerging markets, such as hybrid vehicles and wind turbines. Copper is a major industry in Arizona.

In January, it was announced that Lego would release an official Minecraft set. The idea represents a perfect match, which probably should have come sooner. But now it's here, and it looks awesome.
The Brothers Brick has offered up some photos of the new set, which includes two of Minecraft's most iconic characters—Steve and a Creeper—represented as "Micro Mobs" and splits into four sections.
The set came into being after 10,000 Lego and Minecraft fans voted for it on Lego Cuusoo— an official Lego site, on which fans can post their own creations and vote to make them a reality.
The set will be available in summer 2012, and it can be pre-ordered through Jinx for £34.99. [The Brothers Brick]

Set collecting
Players: 2 - 5
Age: 13 +

Stock Number: 073
An old Irish legend tells of the hero, Chú Chulainn, who gathered 10 brave men together to drive the enemy from their land in a great battle. After returning home, he gave each of his followers a magic amulet. Each amulet was similar: the 9 outer parts were identical, but the middle part of each was different, making it possible to distinguish one from the other. The amulets brought their owners and their offspring respect and wealth. When the Vikings conquered the land, they destroyed the amulets, scattering the parts of each throughout the land. The players take the roles of adventurers in 11th century Ireland, who seek to recover the parts of the amulets and put them back together. Five druids have pledged to help you in your endeavor. The player who finds parts and puts together the most amulets will win the game and become the new Celtic king!

Missing snowboarder found alive in Sierra; runner found safe, too
A snowboarder and a runner both were found alive and in good condition Tuesday, after both men had been missing for more than 24 hours — one near Foresthill and the other near Castle Peak.
Members of the Nevada County Sheriff's Search and Rescue team participated in both searches, the first of which began Sunday afternoon.
Word came after 8 p.m. Tuesday that 25-year-old Abraham Finkelstein had been found, more than a day after he disappeared in whiteout conditions between Castle Peak and the Peter Grubb Hut.
"It's pretty amazing that he's alive," said Nevada County Sheriff's Sgt. Sam Brown.

A team from Nevada County had been helping Monday with the search for Robert Root, a runner who had gone missing the previous day on the Western States trail. He was found Tuesday afternoon.
The team then were called back to help locate some missing snowmobilers, said Nevada County Sheriff's Capt. Jeff Pettitt.
"In the midst of that, we got this report" of a missing hiker in the Castle Peak area of Donner Pass just after 5 p.m. Monday, he said.
Finkelstein's father reported the two became separated while backcountry snowboarding between Castle Peak and the Peter Grubb Hut.
The pair had set out Monday morning with the plan to hike to the hut, Pettitt said.
"The wind started picking up, and they decided to head back," he said. "The dad had stopped for a second and the son went on ahead. Whiteout conditions came in, and he couldn't find his son."
The father continued on to the trailhead, thinking his son was still in front of him, Pettitt said.
Search teams from both Nevada County and Placer County actively searched the area through Monday night and into Tuesday.
Searchers were using cross country ski teams, snow cats, snowmobiles, and other available resources.
Late Tuesday afternoon, backcountry and Nordic teams with dogs had been called in to check an avalanche site east of Andesite Peak, said Sheriff's Sgt. Sam Brown. Searchers were also trying to locate a cellphone ping.
"We're just trying to cover our bases," Brown said.
Having several searches in the same time frame had depleted mutual aid resources, Brown said, adding, "It's a select group of people who can go on searches like this. Not everybody possesses these skills."
Finkelstein apparently had built himself a makeshift shelter, possibly in a tree well, Brown said.
On Tuesday, he was able to walk out to Sherritt Lane in Soda Springs, and called his father from a residence there.
He appeared to be in good condition and was getting medical attention, Brown said.
Root, a 55-year-old from Modesto, reportedly remained in good condition despite spending two nights outside clad only in a light jacket and shorts.
Root had been running the Western States trail outside of Foresthill and had last been seen around 9:30 a.m. Sunday, before he got separated from the group. When the runners returned to their starting point, they realized Root was missing, said Placer County Sheriff's spokeswoman Dena Erwin.
They ran back into the rugged canyon area, but were unable to find him; calling for help at 3:20 p.m. Sunday.
More than 60 searchers began looking for Root, with hikers, search dogs, motorcycles, 4x4s, and horse teams in the canyon.
Searchers found Root at about 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, about two and a half miles from the Michigan Bluff trailhead of the Western States Trail.
Root said he took a wrong turn on the trail, ending up on a cliff overlooking the American River, where he scooted into some shrubbery for warmth and slept off and on throughout the night.
Monday morning, he tried to find his way out, but ended up back at the same spot. He spent the second night in the same area.
Root survived on a small amount of water he had with him, plus some supplements that runners typically carry for energy, Erwin said.
Tuesday, Root decided to head "up and west," he said, eventually spotting the searchers.
He was transported to Sutter Auburn Faith Hospital, but appeared to have no injuries, Erwin said.
"The searchers were all awesome," Root said from his hospital bed Tuesday. "I'm so thankful for all the people in my life."

5 Tricks Found -- Page 1
|The magician displays what appears to be an ordinary light bulb. At his command the lamp mysteriously lights up in his hand! Routine the spooky lighting and unlighting so that the lamp answers questions to the mentalists questions; lit once for yes and twice for no. The uses are unlimited! Based upon flashlight technology, this is a classic in the field of magic. 124FOLAL-0001
|The magician reaches up into the air and produces a glowing red light at his fingertips! The light is put in the pocket and then mysteriously reappears at the fingertips The light can be made to come from your elbow, belly button, or even your nose! Reach over to the on/off light on your television and "take part of the light away." Reach into your pocket and exclaim, "Hey kid, look. I've got Rudolph's nose!" Shine a laser pointer at the wall. Reach over and "remove" the pin-point light and put it into your pocket. Reach up to scratch your ear and your ear glows red! Comes as a set of two so that hand to hand transfer is possible. This set is the new dual pack Prisma lights package, the ultra bright version and can be clearly seen from a distance. Far superior as compared to the inexpensive oriental knock-offs. Recommended. 009RUMSBPRISMA_REDPAIR
|The magician shows what appears to be an empty paper sack. Holding the bag open with one hand, he reaches up into the air and plucks a light out of thin air (thanks to our trusted friend the D'Lite gimmick). As the light is placed in the paper bag, the light can be seen dropping into the bag. This can be repeated multiple times until ten lights have been produced. Highly visible, modern, and truly unique magic. Comes with bag and instructions. D'Lites not included. 0012NUFCI00410
|In the traditions of Blackstone, we are proud to introduce our version of the classic floating light bulb. Not only does the bulb mysteriously light without any apparent electrical connections, but it can float around the performer and even out into the audience! While not for every performing venue, our outfit comes with one atomic lamp, special socket, and directions on various ways to rig the set-up. Note that this effect is best performed with theatrical lighting and distance from the audience. Various methods of rigging are presented including one-man performance moves as well as those that require offstage assistance. This trick was originally innovated by Burling Hull.
|The magician turns a lamp on. Next he takes a pitcher or glass of milk and makes it vanish (via a Magic Milk Pitcher or other similar apparatus). The moment the milk vanishes, the lamp goes out. The magician removes the lamp shade, unscrews the bulb, and pours out the vanished milk! Don't like working with liquid? This classic trick can be done with salt, a silk hank, confetti, small candies and so forth. Most importantly, a wireless remote control puts the magician is in full control of the lamp going out. This is a professional prop, strong in effect, and comes complete with lamp, light bulb, remote and instructions. Magic Milk Pitcher not included. Note that vase design sometimes varies.

Melanoma Skin Cancer in Montana Skin Cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States. There are three types of skin cancer: squamous cell, basal cell, and melanoma. Melanoma is the most deadly type of skin cancer and is the only type of skin cancer the state health department collects data on. Melanoma incidence has increased in Montana; 240 Montanans are diagnosed with melanoma each year. 65% to 90% of melanomas are caused by ultraviolet (UV) light exposure. 1 in 3 female 12th grade students in Montana report indoor tanning. 42% of younger women diagnosed with melanoma have melanoma in the trunk region of the body which suggests intermittent and intense UV light exposure like the exposure experienced when tanning. Risk Factors for Melanoma Exposure to sunlight through work and play A history of burns, especially early in life A history of indoor tanning Lighter skin color Skin that burns, freckles, reddens easily, or becomes painful in the sun Action Be Sun A.W.A.R.E Avoid unprotected exposure to sunlight, seek shade, and never indoor tan. Wear sun protective clothing, including a long-sleeved shirt, pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses year-round. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sunburn protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher. Routinely examine your whole body for changes in your skin and report concerns to a healthcare provider. Educate your family and community about the need to be Sun A.W.A.R.E.

The first time I saw waves light up in beautiful colours as they crashed onto the beach I thought someone had slipped me some acid. It's real, though. Bioluminescent phytoplankton cause this spectacular light show, and wow, someone's surfing it.
Red tides exist all over the world, and they are caused by large-scale algae blooms. Some red tides, however, like those found in southern California contain a certain type of phytoplankton called lingulodinium polyedrum that emit little bursts of light when agitated. When a ton of those little guys are gathered into a small area and are all agitated at once by a crashing wave or a slicing surfboard, the effect looks like something out of Disney's Fantasia. It's simply breath-taking.
Red tides are often responsible for massive fish deaths, and its effect on humans who directly contact it is not entirely known. Anecdotally the CDC says that swimming in red tides may cause "irritation of the eyes, nose and throat, as well as coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. Additional evidence suggests that people with existing respiratory illness, such as asthma, may experience these symptoms more severely." Hope this guy had a neti pot handy.

Elements Of Style
Inspired By: Canadian House & Home
No matter what the internet bring I still love me a new glossy magazine! This month I LOVED LOVED Canadian House & Home! I found so much inspiration in the pages! Here are some of my favorite spreads:
I adore this kitchen renovation- it proves that small spaces can have BIG style and impact! I mean just look at that floor and those metal famed glass doors!!!!
This seating idea (and the faux brick) is kind of genius for a narrow space without much architectural interest.
Perfect grey grout on the subway tile and the floorplan showing just how small this galley kitchen is!
And this patio right outside of the kitchen doubles the space in the warmer months!
Loved the bold color and pattern of this living room.
As well as this KILLER striped banquette paired with black chairs and modern art and lighting! ADORE!
Another awesome kitchen with brass hardware!
This home was more traditional but equally stunning. The neutral palette is so calming and clean and that tan/white marble floor is to die for.
I can't tell you how much I adore this bench!!!
This makes me want to paint my little window in my kitchen black!
This simple black four-poster bed is so great with the stripe wool blanket- country modern at it's finest.
Oh, hello awesome bathroom- the herringbone floor, the wall tile detail, the tub….. I've been paying close attention to bathroom details as I plan my own master addition. I have planned a chevron marble floor, but laying tiles herringbone is about 1/3 of the cost because it's less labor (cutting) for the tile installer (just an FYI!)
The mix of chrome and natural accents is such a great mix!
This library with high-gloss navy moulding and walls is pretty much everything. Especially love it paired with that rug (reminds me of Andrew's office in my house in color palette).

Identifier: 3
Scope and Contents
From the Collection: The Mary Louise Smith papers measure 77 linear feet and date from 1812 to 1997. The bulk of the papers date from 1964 (when Smith was elected Republican National Committeewoman from Iowa) to 1984 (when Smith decided not to seek re-election as Committeewoman). There is very little material relating to Smith's life before her move to Des Moines in 1963. The period of Smith's chairmanship of the Republican National Committee (1974 to 1976) is covered by Accession One.Accession Two contains some materials from that period but primarily deals with other years. Accessions Three, Four and Five continue where Two left off, documenting Smith's public life since 1984, including her ouster from the Republican mainstream into a minority and dissenting position of moderate Republicanism within a rightward shifting Republican Party, and her efforts to build coalitions of moderate Republicans to redress the effects of the Religious Right on the Party's conservative wing. ACCESSION ONE (1977) Accession One covers the period of Smith's chairmanship of the Republican National Committee (1974 to 1976) and is arranged in five series: (1) Alpha-numeric series (a group of papers labeled with a pre-designated alpha-numeric code which was devised at the Republican National Committee), (2) Trip and speech files, (3) Alphabetical subject files, (4) Audiotapes, and (5) Notebooks. The materials consist of correspondence, press releases, speeches, notes, reports, photographs, memoranda, proceedings and other documents. Among other duties, the chairman of a major political party is concerned with planning national conventions, securing financial contributions, publicizing the party, and running the national party headquarters. The Mary Louise Smith Papers document all of these activities. While she was Co-Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Smith conducted thirteen national workshops called "Grassroots '74". The workshops were held to help party workers identify and register voters and then get them to the polling places. After she became chairman, Smith attempted to stimulate interest in the Republican Party through television specials. She attempted to involve more people in the political process and was especially interested in encouraging greater participation in the Republican Party by women. In addition to correspondence with party officials, congressmen, senators, and cabinet members, the Smith papers contain many letters from concerned Republican Party members on such political issues as the Nixon pardon, the Equal Rights Amendment, abortion, the nomination of Nelson Rockefeller as Vice President, and the Panama Canal. One of the Chairman's major tasks is to prepare for national nominating conventions. The Smith Papers contain a great deal of material on the 31st Republican Party National Convention in Kansas City in 1976. The contest between President Gerald Ford and Governor Ronald Reagan for the Republican nomination was the highlight of that assembly. After the Convention, Smith was involved in helping to manage a national election campaign. During the 1976 campaign she was especially concerned with the effects of the Federal Election Campaign laws that had recently laws been enacted. Upon leaving the Chairmanship, Mary Louise Smith transferred her personal papers to the University Libraries. An extensive card file index to the alphanumeric series compiled at the Republican National Committee Headquarters is available in the archives. See also Appendix One for an index to Boxes 1-86. ACCESSION TWO (1992) Accession Two is arranged in fourteen series: Personal; Correspondence; Speeches; Republican party; Non-partisan women's organizations; Commissions; Other affiliations; Conferences and task forces; Newspaper clippings; Resources; Photographs; Scrapbooks; Oversized, and Audiovisual. The Personal series (1933-1983) contains a folder of biographical material which consists mostly of short biographies and resumes composed by Smith. The series also contains certificates, mementos (such as invitations to political events) and various programs and flyers for events in which Smith participated. The only material on Smith's early life are a reader and notes from a mental health class which she took at the State University of Iowa (now the University of Iowa) in the 1930s. The Correspondence series (1960-1987) consists of 4 linear feet arranged chronologically. From 1964 to 1973 Smith arranged the majority of her correspondence according to the Iowa Congressional district in which the correspondent resided. This order has been retained, but has been further arranged by year. After 1973, as her correspondence became increasingly national in scope, Smith ceased to organize her correspondence by congressional district. From 1974 on, correspondence has been arranged by month and year. Special subjects for which there is a great deal of correspondence have been labeled accordingly. Correspondence which is related to material located elsewhere in the collection is in some cases found with that other material, labeled as correspondence. The Correspondence series covers a large range of topics and is a resource for researchers interested in Iowa and national Republican politics, grassroots organizing, and the role of women in the Republican party. Speeches (1963-1985) consist of some of the hundreds of speeches given by Mary Louise Smith throughout her career. Her speaking abilities and communication skills were considered to be a great asset and, consequently, the notes and text of her speeches covering the years 1964 to 1985) are an important part of her papers. Recurring topics include the role of women in politics, the importance of volunteer work, and the merits of the two-party system. As RNC Chair, Smith gave many speeches each month. Many of her speeches (particularly those given during her tenure as RNC Chair) are typed. Others are written in longhand on cards. The speeches she gave as RNC Chair are indexed. The Republican Party series (1960s-1984) represents the major part of Smith's papers (12 linear feet), and is divided into three major subseries: the Iowa Republican party; the National Republican party; and Republican women's clubs and organizations. Non-partisan women's organizations series (1977-1980) contains material on several of these organizations Smith was involved in, including the Iowa ERA Coalition and International Women's Year (IWY). Correspondence relating to the National Women's Conference (part of IWY) from persons critical of Smith's affiliation with the Conference and her stance on abortion can be found in the Correspondence series under appropriate dates. Smith, as a Republican, received a great deal of attention for her involvement in each of these organizations. Commissions (1969-1984) series contains material from Smith's involvement with the United Nations Population Commission (1969), the President's Commission for the Observance of the 25th Anniversary of the United Nations (1970) and the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (1981-1984). Smith's tenure on the Civil Rights Commission (USCCR) was a controversial one because she did not always support Reagan's positions. Smith served on the USCCR as positions on issues such as affirmative action and Title IX were shifting. Reagan dismissed several members of the commission including Smith in 1984. This series contains letters of support Smith received during this time. Other affiliations (1978-1986) series documents several of the numerous other activities Smith was involved in. Examples of these organizations include Dial Corporation and the Learning Channel (on whose boards of directors Smith served in the 1980s); the National Peace Institute; and the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, of which she was a fellow during 1978-1979, speaking at small liberal arts colleges. Conferences and task forces (1965-1987) series consists of programs, correspondence, and background materials related to conferences and task forces with which Smith was a participant, arranged by year. Those events for which only a flyer is preserved are not documented in this series; these flyers can be found in the Personal series as noted above. The bulk of this series dates from 1978 to 1987. Earlier conference materials are related specifically to the Republican party. The Newspaper clippings (1968-1993) series contains only those clippings related to Smith or her husband. Clippings on other subjects are arranged throughout the collection according to subject. This series contains 23 folders of clippings which feature or mention Smith, arranged chronologically by year. Included here are photocopies of two scrapbooks which Smith kept during her tenure as chair of the Republican National Committee. This scrapbook material is primarily newspaper clippings. Other materials (photographs, flyers, and correspondence) have been removed from the original scrapbooks and filed accordingly. This series also contains one folder of articles featuring Elmer Smith. Resources series (1960s-1981) contains newspaper clippings and other material related to topics of interest and use to Smith that she saved throughout her career. Examples of subjects found in this series include campaign organizing, appeals from various groups for funds, the new right, and tips on speech writing and communication. There are also several folders of material which Smith identified as women's resources. Photographs series (1964-1985) includes multiple copies of publicity photos as well as single copies of photographs of Smith alone and with others. Most photographs are black and white, though there are also a few color Polaroid shots and printing plates of some early publicity photos.ÃÂ Photographs are arranged into three major categories: publicity photos, Smith with others (arranged by year), and those photographs which were autographed by one of the subjects (other than Smith). Also included are one photo of Elmer Smith, three of Margaret Smith and one of Anna Lomas, former National Committee woman. Scrapbooks consists of two scrapbooks from the 1960s. One contains material relating to Smith's 1964 campaign for Iowa committeewoman and the other consists of newspaper clippings related to the 1964 presidential election. Oversized material includes certificates, mementos, and three framed photographs. The Audiovisual series consists of two videocassettes and 5 audiocassettes. The videocassettes are both from a panel titled "Why Business Men Should be Involved in Politics." Smith was a member of this panel, and viewing these audiocassettes provides an opportunity to see her speaking, answering questions, and interacting with her audience. This conference is also recorded on one of the audiocassettes. Other audiocassettes feature Smith speaking on various topics as well as a collection of ads for the ERAmerica campaign (Smith is not featured in any of these ads). ACCESSIONS THREE AND FOUR (1994); ACCESSION FIVE (1997) These Accessions comprise 13 linear feet of materials. They are arranged in the same 14 series as Accession Two, except that they do not have either Commissions or Scrapbook series. Generally, these papers extend temporally upon the content in Accession Two; where they expand the collection in content will be noted. The Personal series (1812-1993) contains autobiographical and biographical material, appointment calendars, and programs, and awards Smith received. The calendars provide a quick reference check on Smith's daily acitivities for over three decades from 1964 to 1996. Additional autobiographical material can be found in Box 87 (Accession Two) and in Box 160 (UI Elderhostel memoir writing class). The Correspondence series (1966-1997) consists of three linear feet, the bulk of which extends from 1986 until June 1997. Much of it contains invitations for Smith to speak at various conferences and political or charitable events, both in Iowa and throughout the United States. The series contents reflects Smith's national stature and her movement toward an increasingly liberal (and minority) position within the Republican party. Correspondence related to material located elsewhere in the collection is in some cases found with that other material. The Christmas cards subseries primarily contains cards sent to Smith by politicians; these cards are arranged in rough chronological order. The Speeches series (1964-1996) comprises nearly one linear foot. The bulk of this series spans 1976-1996, extending the materials found in Box 98 (Accession Two). Smith was a dynamic and forthright speaker, and these speeches provide insight into the depth and breadth of her thinking on a range of issues. Her topics include women in politics and the status of women in the United States, pro-choice, civil rights, aging, peace, volunteerism, current political issues, the state of the Republican party, and the drug abuse problem. The Republican Party series (1960-1996) runs to two linear feet. It is mostly comprised of materials reflecting Smith's campaign work for Robert Ray in 1978 and George Bush in 1988, and her activities as a Party moderate. Non-campaign materials highlight Smith's increasingly minority position within the Party from the mid-1980s onward and the efforts she made to stem the Party's shift to the political right. These papers reflect the depth of her commitment to the ideals of Republicans as she did not abandon the party to the religious right. Her impact may have been diminished by her distance from the seats of power. The Non-partisan women's organizations series (1980-1997) contains one linear foot of material on Smith's visible leadership within Planned Parenthood on both national and state levels from 1987-1992, as well as her campaigning for ERA Iowa '92. It also reflects her close cooperation with Louise Noun in working together for the Chrysalis Foundation and to establish the Iowa Women's Archives. The Other affiliations series (1980-1997) also consists of one linear foot of materials and includes Smith's involvement with Des Moines area organizations, Iowa institutions of higher education, and peace groups. Her prominence in the Des Moines area, coupled with her staunch support of human rights, made her a natural candidate to serve on boards of trustees. These materials reflect her close involvement with the Des Moines Human Rights Commission, the National Conference of Christians and Jews (who worked to 'keep the dream alive' in celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr.), Drake University, and the US Institute of Peace. The Conferences and task forces series (1976-1996) comprises nearly three linear feet of programs, correspondence, and Smith's notes for speeches. The bulk of these materials spans 1987-1996 and extends the series ending in Box 131 (Accession Two). Its topics resemble those of Smith's speeches (peace, women in politics, civil rights, aging, drug abuse) as well as new ones (the media's role in political campaigns, the American political process, and the state of Iowa). Smith's high energy and strong commitment to causes is reflected by the fact that her participation in these conferences continued until very near the end of her life. The Newspaper clippings series' (1925-1997) consists of six folders; its bulk spans 1989-1997 and contains only those clippings related to Smith. Clippings on other subjects are located with their subject throughout the collection. Many of these clippings describe Smith's public criticisms of the Party's stance on women, abortion and civil rights. The Topical Files series (1956-1996) consists of about six linear inches of materials; it is analogous to the Resources files in boxes 132-134 (Accession Two). It contains materials of interest and use to Smith, including pamphlets and clippings about the political process and political commentary, abortion, aging, speechwriting and quotations, and women. The Photographs series (1975-1992) is comprised mostly of black and white portraits of Smith and photos of Smith with friends and colleagues. The Artifacts series (1976-1982) holds mostly Republican campaign paraphernalia. The Oversize series (1812-1992) contains the Smith family bible, badge and scroll.

Albright continued his travels upon his arrival in the United States around 1900, eventually settling in San Francisco in 1905. There he took a position at the Paul Elder Book Company, where he worked for the next 25 years. Originally doing photography as a hobby, by 1915 Albright was studying art and exhibiting in San Francisco, at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915, and at the San Francisco Art Association from 1916 through the 1930s. In 1917, he married his art teacher, painter Gertrude Partington, at which time he legally changed his name from Albrecht to Albright. Also known as H. Oliver Albright, Herman Albright was active in the San Francisco art community, and by the 1930s was able to devote full time to his art career. He exhibited often throughout the rest of his life, at San Francisco's California Palace of the Legion of Honor, the Commercial Club, Gump's Gallery, and the Beaux Arts Gallery, as well as at the California State Fair and the Springville Museum in Utah, winning many awards. During the 1930s, Albright made a series of lithographs and a series of Chinese ink wash drawings depicting the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge during its construction, both of which were highly regarded and widely exhibited, including a show of the ink wash drawings at the San Francisco Museum of Art in 1937. Herman Albright passed away in San Francisco in 1944. Posthumous exhibitions of Albright's work include "The Art of H. Oliver Albright: An Appreciation" at the San Francisco Museum of Art in 1947, and a show at the Bertha Schaefer Gallery in New York in 1953.Related worksForestRamp, Approach to BridgeThe Golden GateBrowse All

Make A Gift, Make A Difference
The world has changed dramatically since California State University, Long Beach, opened its doors in 1949. Our campus has changed over the years, too, evolving and expanding to meet the needs of a diverse student body and a dynamic region.
Today, philanthropy plays a crucial role at CSULB, just as it does on college campuses throughout the country. Because CSULB now receives less than 30 percent of its overall budget from state appropriations, we rely on friends and alumni to fill gaps in funding and to make the visionary gifts that will enhance the student experience and allow the university to reach new levels of excellence.
And, whether it's a few extra dollars at the end of the month or a bequest that's taken a lifetime to build, every contribution to CSULB makes a difference.
Thanks for your interest … and GO BEACH!

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The State Board of Elections will not ask the attorney general to investigate the case of a Republican operative accused of throwing eight completed voter registration forms in the trash, a board official said Friday.
State Sen. Donald McEachin of Henrico County, chairman of the Senate Democratic Caucus, called for an investigation by the attorney general after Colin Small of Phoenixville, Pa., was charged Thursday with 13 felony and misdemeanor counts. Rockingham County Sheriff Bryan E. Hutcheson said Small, 31, worked for an independent contractor hired by the Republican Party of Virginia to conduct voter registration drives. Small was arrested after the voter registration applications were found in a trash bin behind a Harrisonburg store.
McEachin urged Republican Attorney General Kenneth Cuccinelli to launch his own investigation.
"This is simply too serious an issue," McEachin said in a statement. "Voting is the bedrock of our democracy and we, as Virginians, deserve to know exactly what happened, how widespread the abuse and under whose orders, if any, the individual in question acted."
Cuccinelli spokesman Brian Gottstein said the attorney general can investigate election issues only if requested by the State Board of Elections.
Nikki Sheridan, the board's confidential policy adviser, said the case appeared to be an isolated incident.
The Republican National Committee provides funds to state GOP offices for voter registration drives in swing states like Virginia. Small worked for a company, Pinpoint, that was hired by the Virginia GOP for that purpose.
"The actions taken by this individual are a direct contradiction of both his training and explicit instructions given to him," state GOP chairman Pat Mullins said in a statement. "The Republican Party of Virginia will not tolerate any action by any person that could threaten the integrity of our electoral process. The individual in question was fired immediately after we learned of his alleged actions."
Late last month, the RNC fired another voter registration contractor — Virginia-based Strategic Allied Consulting — after more than 100 suspect forms it collected in Florida were turned over to local prosecutors. Virginia was one of the states that had a contract with the company.
"We have heard a lot from Republicans both in the Virginia General Assembly and across the country about their numerous fears that voters were committing fraud," McEachin said, referring to the GOP's push for strict voter identification laws. "It certainly looks like, instead, the fraud is being committed by the Republicans on the voters."
The registration forms that were found in the Harrisonburg trash bin were rushed to the Rockingham County registrar's office Monday afternoon, just before the 5 p.m. deadline to register to vote in the Nov. 6 election.
"They had a police escort from the store to our office," said registrar Doug Geib.
Sheridan said five of the potential voters lived in Rockingham, two in Augusta County and one in Page County. Three were already registered voters. One was denied because of a felony conviction, and the other four were successfully processed, she said.
Officials did not know why Small would have thrown the registration in the trash. Virginia voters do not declare a political party affiliation when they register.
Geib said he had to correct Small's misconception that he was not required to submit registration forms for voters who are already on the rolls. He also instructed Small that he had to submit every application regardless of whether it was complete.
The law requires third parties that gather registration forms to submit them within 15 days. Geib could not comment on whether the discarded forms were late, saying that would be part of the investigation.
Small is charged with eight felony counts of disclosure of voter registration application, four misdemeanor counts of destruction of voter registration application and one misdemeanor count of obstruction of justice.
It was unclear whether Small has an attorney.

Not in Regina? Team building activities near you
Boost your team's public speaking confidence with our fun and interactive presentation skills training programs in Regina.
Do you want your team to be able to communicate effectively? From presenting a business case to your boss, a sales pitch to a client, or an update to a group of colleagues – presentations are an important part of doing business.
The good news is that communication and public speaking are skills anyone can learn with enough practice. Your team can have audiences sitting up and paying close attention with presentation skills training programs.
Whether your team needs to speak to a large or small group – you can build your team's confidence and prepare them for the front of the room with our training workshops. When your team is calm, organized, and confident, they will be able to effectively communicate to audiences of any size.
Top companies in Regina trust our presentation skills training programs because they are memorable and effective:
From planning to execution - this was a "can do" team that brought a host of experience and expertise, and really nailed it for us. Your team was energetic and really got the whole group into the right mindset where they had fun but also took key learnings away. This was the highlight our team offsite and would recommend this team to anyone looking to do something special, unique and memorable!" - Microsoft
Presentations are a great way to communicate a concept or idea to a large group of stakeholders – either internally at large-scale company meetings, or externally at conferences and seminars. While the thought of getting up in front of a crowd of hundreds is a nightmare for some people, there are methods and tricks anyone can learn to make it easy.
One of our top presentation skills training program for large audiences is The Art Of Presenting. The interactive workshop trains your team to practice and improve their public speaking skills with the help of professional facilitators. There is truly an art to presenting effectively, and your team can learn how to deliver information in a way the audience will remember.
Small presentations are much more common in day-to-day business. While a smaller audience might help to take off some of the pressure, they also demand more interactivity, detail, and preparation. Your team needs to be able to stay confident and prepared, even if they are giving a presentation to a single decision maker.
If you want your team to learn better habits for presentation preparation and delivery, you should check out our 8 Productive Practices employee training workshop. Your team can learn key productive methods in the workshop to help them engage a small audience.
You can also emphasize the importance of good preparation with one of our team building activities. In an activity like Going Live, employees need to rehearse over and over to make sure their presentation in front of the camera hits all the key points and lasts exactly three minutes long.
To start planning your presentation skills training activity or workshop, all you need to do is get in touch with our team. We have fast response times, and you'll love how simple we make the planning process for you. If you're looking for a custom solution for your team, our team can also put together a flexible training program designed around your goals.

Fun with the Registry Using VC++
Desktop-as-a-Service Designed for Any Cloud ? Nutanix Frame
This tiny tool offers a comfortable GUI to change hidden system settings that you normally can change only by editing the Registry.
- Change the title name of Internet Explorer.
- Change the title name of Outlook Express.
- Remove typed URL addresses from Internet Explorer.
- Remove recently opened files from Windows Media Player.
- Turn off the shortcut arrow for desktop icons, like this:
Note: I tested this application on Windows 98; it works perfectly. The tips may or may not work on Windows NT or other Windows operating systems.
Basics of the Registry
The Windows Registry is a set of data files used to help Windows control hardware, software, the user's environment, and the "look and feel" of the Windows interface. Without the Registry, the operating system would not have the necessary information to run, control attached devices, launch and control applications, and to respond correctly to user input.
The Registry is a complex database of information that was built in a hierarchical fashion by the writers and programmers of Windows. The Registry has a hierarchal structure, like the directories on your hard disk. Each branch (denoted by a folder icon in the Registry Editor; see below) is called a Key. Each key can contain other keys, as well as values. Each value contains the actual information stored in the Registry. There are three types of values: String, Binary, and DWORD—the use of these depends upon the context.
Note: If you're not familiar with editing the Registry manually, don't try it unless you feel comfortable with it. For safety's sake, first make a backup of your Registry.
The application created here uses a dialog-based MFC AppWizard (EXE). The application has a List Box that contains the tips. You have to select one of tips from the List Box and then click on the "Add" button to change the selected tip on your computer. You click the "Remove" button so that the selected tip does not affect your computer. The application also has two buttons: "ReBoot" and "ShutDown" for restarting Windows and shutting down Windows, respectively. A static control of the application displays a message about what to do after selecting the tip from List Box.
The application uses the following functions to open, create, close keys, write, and delete Registry data.
|What It Does
|Opens the specified Registry key.
|Creates the specified Registry key. If the key already exists, the function opens it.
|Releases a handle to the specified Registry key.
|Sets the data and type of a specified value under a Registry key.
|Removes a named value from the specified Registry key.
|Deletes a subkey.
Note: To restart Explorer.exe, do this:
- Press CRTL + ALT + DEL (once!).
- Click on Explorer in the "running processes" list and then on the "End Task" button.
- When the shutdown window opens, click on "Cancel."
- Eventually (just wait!!), another window will open, asking whether you want to end the task; click on "Yes." Because Windows needs Explorer to function, it will restart the program by itself.
