The name of the California State University is a significant asset of the institution and the Office of General Counsel has the responsibility to protect the CSU name against misuse and infringement. This information is provided to educate students, staff and members of the public about the following policies and law related to the use of the CSU name.
The California State University is committed to protect against the misuse of its name, not to prevent its appropriate use.
Ownership of the CSU name
Education Code section 89005.5 provides that the name "California State University" and the names of all of the CSU campuses, nicknames and abbreviations belong to the State of California. Examples of the CSU name include Cal State, California State University Stanislaus, CSUS, San Diego State University, San Diego State, SFSU, Cal Poly, Sonoma State University, Sonoma State, the California State University Maritime Academy, Cal Maritime, CSU, and so on.
Misuse of the CSU name
It is inappropriate to use the CSU name without the written permission of the institution for any purpose, including:
Appropriate uses of the CSU name
It is appropriate to use the CSU name to describe a current or past affiliation with the institution or any of its campuses (e.g. employment or enrollment) or otherwise to describe the location of events.
Additional questions regarding appropriate uses of the CSU name
If you have any questions regarding the use of the CSU name, please address the appropriate local campus official, or contact the Office of General Counsel.
The California State University does not sell, or license for sale, any diplomas, certificates, transcripts or recommendations from any of its campuses. Any business purporting to sell any such CSU documents is doing so illegally.
In recent years, some commercial vendors have emerged offering to sell what appear to be CSU and other well-known institutional diplomas. These "diploma mills" are operating without authority and have no affiliation to the CSU.
Diploma mills are a concern to the CSU because they cheapen college degrees by making them available without college-level work. They cast doubt on genuine degrees. They confuse employers, licensing agencies and the public. Wherever the CSU learns of its name being used inappropriately by any diploma mill, it takes immediate steps to stop this practice.
The purchase or sale of a CSU degree is illegal
Under California Education Code section 32381, anyone who prepares, manufactures or prints for compensation a degree or diploma without written authorization from the issuing school is guilty of a misdemeanor.
In addition, under California Education Code section 32382, anyone who buys or uses a diploma or degree that has been fraudulently or illegally issued, illegally obtained, counterfeited, materially altered, or found, is also guilty of a misdemeanor, and can be fined or jailed.
Fraudulent diplomas may be offered in different ways
There is another form of a diploma mill of concern to the CSU. Unaccredited schools that purport to offer college degrees based on minimal coursework or inappropriate life experience. These diploma mills sometimes use names that are similar to established universities. The CSU does not offer its diplomas through any of these schools.
Diploma mills share many characteristics, which are summarized on Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) Fact Sheet No.6 (PDF).
If you know of a diploma mill that purports to offer a CSU degree, please contact the Office of General Counsel.
The official seal of the California State University (see below) is a symbol of the institution, and at the Chancellor's discretion, can be used for any official business, including alumni, student and other public events and projects that promote a better understanding of the institution. The Secretary of the Board of Trustees is the official custodian of the seal. See standing order(PDF).
Every CSU campus has its own seal, which may be trademarked and can only be used with campus permission. Campus seals »
The CSU does not tolerate labor abuse. All CSU contractors that manufacture, assemble or package products, including those with the CSU name, logo or image, must certify that they do not use materials or supplies produced through sweatshop, child, convict or forced labor, and that they meet the applicable local, state and national standards relating to wage and working conditions. California Public Contracts Code section 6108.
The CSU and its auxiliary organizations use best efforts to ensure that all licensees provide their employees with safe and healthful working conditions. These requirements are set forth in Chancellor's Executive Order No. 718 (PDF) and Section 210.10 of the CSU Policy Manual for Contracting and Procurement.
The California State University strives to resolve any misuse of its name by first bringing the situation to the attention of the individual/business and requesting immediate correction. If that fails, or in the first instance in egregious situations, the CSU will take legal action to protect its name, which can result in civil and/or criminal penalties including:
If you are in doubt about a particular use of the CSU name, please contact the Office of General Counsel.

American Education Week: "Reach. Educate. Inspire."
YOUR TOWN--"Helping students achieve is the cornerstone of our work as parents, teachers, and public school employees," says Mary Jones, president of the Yourtown Education Association. "We're proud of our work, and American Education Week, November 18-22, is the time to celebrate this work.
"This week's theme, "Reach. Educate. Inspire.", is intended to remind people that teaching and learning is a home and classroom team effort," said Ms. Jones.
"We've planned a number of events and activities to emphasize this team effort," said Ms. Jones. "We especially want parents and other community members to come to the community's schools, and more importantly, to come to their child's classroom, to see for themselves what we are doing.
Jones said, "We will be ready to give tips about how parents can become more involved and better informed about their child's progress.
"In addition, we'll work with parents who want to volunteer their time in needed areas of learning."
The scheduled events include:
Wednesday, November 20, will be set aside as a special day to honor Your town's Education Support Professionals--the secretaries, paraprofessionals (classroom aides), maintenance people, cafeteria workers, bus drivers, and others whose services to schools are invaluable.
Friday, November 22, is being set aside as [your town's] Substitute Educators Day, a newly designated special day to appreciate the educators who are called upon to replace regularly employed teachers and other school employees who are on sick or other leave. They are a critical link in the education of public school children.
More information is posted on our local Web site at ________________.
Many of the local Association's events and activities are jointly sponsored by the YEA and the Yourtown PTA, as well as by local business and civic groups.
Ms. Jones said, "Local citizens are being very generous with their time by agreeing to come into the schools to speak with students of all ages about their work, hobbies and civic interests."
YEA is an affiliate of the [name of state affiliate] and the National Education Association (NEA). The NEA, in collaboration with other organizations, established American Education Week in 1921 as a way to draw public attention to the needs of schools.

Education support professionals (ESPs) in (name of town or district) and in communities across the nation will be in the spotlight on Wednesday, November 20, as students, parents, school administrators and the general public learn more about and promote ESPs.
"Education support professionals are an essential partner in providing great public schools," notes (full name), president of the (name of local education association or other sponsoring group). "National ESP Day is a good time to learn about the contributions ESPs make to our community everyday.
"Education support professionals are oftentimes the first people that our schoolchildren encounter on a daily basis," said (last name). "They are the people who drive our kids to school, help them cross the street, provide them a nutritious meal and keep their school building clean and safe. ESPs are the unsung heroes. It is time that we recognize their hard work and expertise by telling them 'thank you.'"

American Education Week: Reach. Educate. Inspire.
November 18-22 marks the 98th annual observance of American Education Week--a time for saluting our public schools and the relationships between all school employees, students and parents.
This year marks the third celebration of an often overlooked group of employees critical to the continuing work of every school district—substitute educators.
To correct that oversight, the Friday of American Education Week has been designated Substitute Educators Day. This year, the day falls on November 22. Substitute educators are employees called in to temporarily replace regularly employed teachers or education support professionals, such as classroom aides.
"Substitute educators are a critical link in the education of public school children," said [local affiliate president]. "When regular employees, such as teachers, are absent, these people step up to the plate to provide the education we expect our students to receive. We couldn't do this work without them.
"We are also celebrating Substitute Educators Day to encourage increased respect for substitute education employees," said [local spokesperson]. "Most of them do work a full school year. They hone their skills with continual professional development, just like the rest of us. We could not do our work with students without their services."
Our AEW tagline, "Reach. Educate. Inspire.", reflects our nation's commitment to all students. Education is central to the pursuit of the many goals and aspirations of our country and its citizens.

|Written by
|Annie Evans
|What's the Word on the Street?: Tool
|Leela welcomes the viewer while whispering, as she has just put her baby niece Nila to sleep. Telly and Elmo come by and talk loudly until hushed by Leela. They realize that Sesame Street is full of loud noises that could possibly wake Nila up as they almost did and become the "Noise Patrol," who will keep surrounding noise to a minimum. They get some tools to help listen (binoculars and a megaphone), until Leela points out those won't help and their "ear tools" are the only things that will. They listen and shoo off a noisy bird and motorcyclist. They then hear the sound of a basketball...
|SCENE cont'd
|...being dribbled by Horatio, who thinks the distance between him and Nila is large enough that his bouncing won't wake her. Telly frets that his bouncing will attract more animals, leading to a animal basketball game. Just as he predicts, a monkey, lion and tiger show up and start a noisy game until Telly tackles the players. Nila manages to sleep through the noise and the animals head to the park to continue their game. Now, the Noise Patrol hears some music...
|SCENE cont'd
|...coming from Grover's boombox, which he's using to breakdance with. They try to get his attention, but he can't hear them over the music. They decide to dance too, hoping he'll notice them, but he instead tries to school his competition. Telly accidentally sets the music louder before shutting it off completely. Nila is surprisingly still asleep and Grover chides them for setting the music so loud around a sleeping baby. Grover, dubbing himself "Grand Monster Flash," puts on his headphones and dances off. Now, they hear hammering....
|SCENE cont'd
|...by a construction worker nearby. They point out sleeping Nila, who he deems as an "occupational hazard" and continues hammering away. Telly makes sure he won't use the jackhammer and accidentally starts it up, dragging him out of control. Nila remains asleep and the worker heads off for his lunchbreak, bringing his noise to halt. There's no other noise around and Nila wakes up crying. Telly tries to get the area quiet so she can go back to sleep, but Leela stops him, claiming noise can actually help in falling asleep. She sings a lullaby to Nila about soft and calming sounds, which puts her, and the monsters, to sleep.

The name of this book says it all. Not only does Angel offer sound advice for all types of piercings, but she gives cultural history, pre and post care instructions, information about body type and compatible piercings, health risks and management, sex and piercings, and information about traveling through airports or visiting the doctor with piercings that cannot easily be removed. She even offers advice to the frustrated parent. These are only a few of the many topics Angel covers in this 300 page Piercing Bible–there's even an index for keyword searches.
I purchased this book on a whim, even though I rarely ever do more than flip through a non fiction book, but I sat down to read a couple of chapters and discovered that four hours had passed and I had read most of the book cover to cover. Angel's writing is thorough and informative, and it has broadened my opinions and clarified the misconceptions that I had of many body piercings. If you have been toying with the idea of getting a piercing, or have had many, or if you are a piercer yourself–this book will provide you with two decades of expertise.

Paul is Sent Packing on American Idol! Bout' Time!
Who is with me? I am so glad that Paul has been voted off American Idol. I thought from the beginning of the season that he just did not have what it takes to be be the last man standing. So, tonight America got it right! I have been struggling on whether I will continue to watch the show this season, since the whole Pia debacle. I have decided to catch it when I can; if I miss a night, I will get the highlights on Erin Bishop's posts each morning. Of course, I will watch enough to always have an opinion. So, all you Pia fans out there, who are we rooting for now?

I've been corresponding recently with Simon Robinson, who got in touch regarding an article that I wrote about sidewalk or street photographers in March last year.
Simon is working on a book devoted to "walking pictures," a style or specialization of street photography which flourished from the 1920s until the 1950s, and then largely disappeared during the 1960s. An introduction to the book project is provided at Easy on the Eye Books, as well as information about a potential museum exhibition at an East Coast resort.
Much of the collection that he has assembled was purchased at fairs, and identification of or background to the subjects has usually been lost. He is therefore welcoming contributions of material which has something of a story attached for possible inclusion in the book. Some of the images collected and donated so far are shared in Simon's Flickr Photostream.

The reverse shows that it was taken by Spotlight Photos Ltd. A location is not given, but Simon directed me to two very similar images, also by Spotlight, from the Derby Museum & Art Gallery reproduced on Picture the Past, for which the locations are identified. Both were taken in Derby, close to St. Peter's Bridge, the point at which the Corn Market, Albert Street, St Peter's Street and Victoria Street all meet.
"Mum in St Peter's Street," Derby (A)
Taken by Spotlight Photos Ltd, July 1929

Although captioned "Mum in St Peter's Street," the first was actually taken in the Corn Market, facing north, with the subject walking south towards the Victoria Street intersection.
taken by W.W. Winter Ltd., c.1928
Image © W.W. Winter Ltd.
This exact location can be accurately pinpointed since the jeweller's shop of H. Samuels is clearly visible on the far right, also captured (below the clock) in this c.1928 view of the same street, taken by W.W. Winter Ltd.
Unidentified subjects, St Peter's Street, Derby (B)
Taken by Spotlight Photos Ltd

The second example includes several people, but focuses on a man with hat, cane and plus-fours, and with an eye on the camera, striding purposefully southwards down St Peter's Street, at the junction with Albert Street. There is also a woman, possibly pregnant, carrying a shopping bag, waiting to cross the road and, in the background, a Trent bus going past.

Nigel Aspdin, with his excellent knowledge of historical and present day Derby, didn't take long to come up with a precise location for the walkie of my great-grandfather. He is walking in a south-easterly direction along Victoria Street, on the pavement in front of the Post Office Hotel, the characteristic entrance to which can be seen on the right of both the walkie and the c.1926 view below by W.W. Winter Ltd.

It is therefore possible to reconstruct the exact location of the walkie, using the Post Office Hotel, Refuge Assurance building and Mechanics' Institute as markers. Again, the area marked in pink is the approximate field of view seen in the photograph.

A present day view of the same scene, as shown in this photograph by Nigel Aspdin, has the same buildings by and large, albeit with somewhat different shop fronts.
Spotlight Photo Ltd. walking photo locations in Derby
As the plan above demonstrates, all three of the Spotlight walkies were taken with 150 metres of each other. Until we have a larger range of examples to work with, we can't assume that the photographer only worked in this small area, but it was, and still is, a busy part of town. The negative numbers are not very easy to decipher with certainty, but if my interpretation is correct, then they were taken in the order B (#3936), A (#7350), C(#9978).
If any readers have street photographs – or walking pictures – by Spotlight Studios Ltd., I would be keen to hear from you, particularly if the photos are identifiable as having been taken in Derby.
Low resolution images from the two volumes of The Winter's Collection have been reproduced with the kind permission of W.W. Winter Ltd. High quality reproductions of these and many other historic images are available from W.W. Winter Ltd.
Many thanks to Simon Robinson and Paul Godfrey for so readily sharing information about street photographers and material from their collections, and to Nigel Aspdin for his detective work and photography around Derby.

Sharemarket players say a listing of Kim Dotcom's new data-sharing company Mega could have appeal for Kiwi investors but it would need a "blue-chip board" and a resolution of any court action before it could proceed.
Dotcom, who is facing extradition to the United States for copyright violation and associated charges for his previous business Megaupload, announced plans to list his new company at its launch on Sunday.
Chief operating officer Brian Clarkson said the company would decide in 18 months to two years whether to float the business on the NZX depending on how it progressed.
"It's talk at this stage - we will make a decision as we go forward."
Clarkson said it would be an opportunity for New Zealanders to invest in a New Zealand company.
Rod Drury, chief executive of listed technology company Xero and a director of the NZX, tweeted the news when it was announced on Sunday but yesterday declined to talk further about Mega's potential.
Drury said it took a long time to take a company public and the announcement was just PR at this stage.
The NZX does not have a character test as part of its listing rules for directors or promoters but it can turn down a listing if the directors have a "history of unsavoury practices".
Clarkson said he did not believe Mega would have any difficulties meeting any listing requirements.
But one fund management source said Dotcom would have to work through the legal issues before any listing would be palatable to investors. "If he won the court case against the US Government that could go well in his favour."
An investment banking source said it was hard to know what the market sentiment would be. "It would need to have a blue-chip board and governance structure ... for people to feel comfortable."
Another source said it was difficult to know what Mega's financial prospects were and those were what should drive a listing.
Market commentator Arthur Lim said given the successes with companies such as Xero and Diligent there was bound to be interest.
"The issue really is one of whether the Kim Dotcom persona - he's certainly in the public perception more popular than the Prime Minister at the moment - whether it extends ... into the sharemarket. I think it would."
Lim said Dotcom had not become super-wealthy without also being a good businessman. "Listing on the stock exchange would certainly give it [Mega] credentials in terms of the regulatory framework that applies."
• Chief executive: New Zealander Tony Lentino
• Three directors: Kim Dotcom, Mathias Ortman, Tony Lentino
• Owners: Two - just under 90 per cent of Mega is owned by MD Corporate Trustee of which the sole shareholder is Mona Dotcom - Kim Dotcom's wife
• The other 10.3 per cent is owned by Instra Group Holdings of which Lentino is the director and the ultimate shareholders include the partners of Hawkes Bay law firm Sainsbury Logan and Williams.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
In the new country special issue of People magazine, they name country music's hottest guys. I'm sure it wasn't easy for them to narrow it down to a dozen, but I think if I try hard enough, I can pick the Top 3 hottest of the hot. Based on no scientific data whatsoever other than my own gut, I think these guys would top the list if there was some kind of ranking involved:
1. Luke Bryan: He's told me before he drinks two cups of coffee a day and has never bleached his teeth and yet he looks like the spokesperson for Crest White Strips. That smile of his is just infectious. It makes him sexy inside and out because he has so much charisma and a Southern charm that cannot be ignored. "I'd rather work eight hours outside than go on a treadmill for an hour," he told People. See? That's just so hot.
2. Kip Moore: I'd put Moore near the top of the list just because he seems like the kind of guy who doesn't care about being on such a list. Indifference like that can be sexy, if it's done right. And he does it right. Plus he is in love with surfing. And I can think of nothing sexier than a man who wears a wet suit by day and a guitar by night.
3. Chris Young: I'll admit I wasn't so sure how Young's hotness would stack up against his country brethren when he still wore a cowboy hat. But once he started going hatless, it was pretty obvious he'd been hiding some very good looks. You add that to his low, low, low voice, and it just works. And as much as he sings about neon and beer, he told People he's a wine drinker on dates.

Nonoverlapping magisteria
Nonoverlapping magisteria (or NOMA) is the concept, originally presented by Stephen Jay Gould, that:
- "Science and religion are not in conflict, for their teachings occupy distinctly different domains."
This position is accepted by many modern theists as it allows them to reconcile apparent contradictions. With science and religion in non-competitive domains, one is free to hold supernatural beliefs and still accept scientific explanations of the natural world.
The NAS released a statement endorsing this same idea in 1997:[1]:
- "Scientists, like many others, are touched with awe at the order and complexity of nature. Indeed, many scientists are deeply religious. But science and religion occupy two separate realms of human experience. Demanding that they be combined detracts from the glory of each."
God of the gaps
Nonoverlapping magisteria has something in common with God of the gaps, basically when science could not yet explain something or when Gould did not know or consider that science and philosophy could explain something it was put into a different magisteriun.
Compromise and isolation
NOMA attempts a compromise between science and religion. Science should, according to NOMA inform how the world is, that means when scientific observations, contradict or appear to contradict the Bible or other "Sacred" texts the scientific findings should be accepted as accurate. So far this is reasonable, for example we can accept scientific statements about evolution or astronomy/cosmology even when "sacred texts" appear to contradict science. Then Gould suggests that religion should determine questions about ultimate meaning whatever that is, moral values, beauty, religion etc.
NOMA may tend to isolate the religious fundamentalists from the more liberal believers. Fundamentalists do not accept that science can be correct in any area that contradicts their faith based position while liberal believers tend to find NOMA acceptable. NOMA also risks separating those scientists who accept NOMA from scientists who take research where the Scientific method leads even when this challenges some NOMA based positions.
The primary objection to this premise, by both religionists and scientists, is that acceptable boundaries cannot be defined.
- Morality should not be forced to conform to faith based "sacred" texts. Which Texts? The Bible? The Koran? The Upanishads? Something different? Should moral decisions be based on religious texts written in the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the Roman Empire or other centuries old texts considered sacred but written before the development of modern science? Divorce is just one example where leaving rulemaking to religious people causes great harm, to partners in unhappy marriages and to children growing up in those marriages. Social scientists who understand the effects or different rules and systems should have an input in moral decisions.
- Beauty cannot be measured scientifically but human reactions when creating something considered beautiful or appreciating something beautiful can be studied empirically as can other aspects of human behaviour. Therefore treating art as somehow separate does not make sense.
- NOMA reasonably advocates that for example Bronze Age texts in the Old Testament suggesting that the sun stood still[2] conflict with science and what astronomers say rather than the Bible should be accepted. Then NOMA goes on to say unreasonably that the same unreliable Bronze Age texts give moral decrees that scientists cannot question.
- Fundamentalists and Biblical literalists believe that placing limits on religion is tantamount to placing limits on God and that God's transcendent nature dictates that nothing is beyond the scope of religion. For these believers, the answers provided by science are acceptable until they contradict so-called knowledge revealed by God.
- Christians routinely seek to impose their faith based moral values onto scientists, for example trying to ban some types of stem cell research or banning it, see Wikipedia:Stem cell controversy. Meanwhile scientists are expected to accept without question limits that believers impose on them.
- Many scientists argue that an obvious boundary exists (natural/supernatural) but that religion generally refuses to remain within its domain, while religionists argue that science is continually encroaching into its territory by examining the questions of human origins, consciousness and even morality. Materialists respond that religion overstepped its boundaries long ago, by filling gaps in our knowledge with dogmatic assertions that, as our understanding has grown, have been replaced with naturalistic explanations.
- This observation is historically supported, and the conflict between science and religion is well documented. If something is initially considered supernatural (magnetism, for example) and science later provides a naturalistic explanation, how can anything be considered beyond the scope of scientific investigation?
- Indeed, scientific investigation rooted in rational, naturalistic materialism has proven to be the most consistent and reliable method of explaining reality.
- Gould defined magisterium as "a domain where one form of teaching holds the appropriate tools for meaningful discourse and resolution" - However, one could argue that within religion there is no meaningful discourse or resolution or tools for such ends, as such religion isn't a magisterium at all. Discourse and resolution never happens since different faith groups hold different, sometimes mutually contradictory faith based beliefs and no amount of discussion can decide which if any are correct.
- NOMA serves to, as Richard Dawkins argues, shield religion from scientific scrutiny. The God hypothesis that there exists an all powerful man who created humans and other life forms and created the universe is at its core a scientific hypothesis open to falsifiability.
- Not Opposing Metaphysical Asininity

First of all, I'd like to say that this app has, by far, the most intuitive and plentiful keyboard shortcuts of any app on my machine. Other app devs should take note. That said, there are a few shortcuts and features that are missing.
I'd like to be able to download the enclosure of a selected article and have it open in my default player (VLC Media Player), automatically, with a single shortcut.
I was able to create a shortcut for downloading the article but there is no menu item for opening it, so I can't create a shortcut for that.
I think this shortcut should be standard.
There should also be a menu item to open the download in the default player, and a corresponding shortcut.
There should also be a 'Preferences' setting that allows opening a download automatically in a player when the download finishes.
There should also be a setting that would open a clicked media link in a player. Now all it does is open the link in a browser.
Note that, despite the VLC logo, the link opens in my default browser.

Dear Readers,
(Last Updated April 16th, 2015 @ 6:35 pm EST) RC 7.0 MO
For this week's "Scam Watch" feature. I thought I would tell you a little about the Internet service called JustAnswer.com JustAnswer.com is a Question/Answer site where you can go to ask any kind of question to a so called "Expert" Which is supposed to answer your question.On their homepage they claim their service works this way:
But for most users it is more like this: Ask a question, Make a user account, write a bit more about your problem, contact with the "Expert" then you choose what you want to pay him for his services. Like $10, $20 or $30 dollars USD, and they claim you will get much faster and better help if you pay more. Anyways, the next step, you pay, you wait, you wait more and then you wait a little more. Then you check your bank account and you might see that they have "taken out more money" than you actually agreed to pay for a service you never even received. On their site there is a complaint section, I have copied some of the post from the section (This complaint section has since been removed): "I needed some advice on a wound my cat received by a raccoon. I needed the information immediately and this seemed like a good option. I asked the question and was asked how much I would pay- I chose 13.00. It directed me immediately to Paypal where I paid the amount. in full using my bank acct. Received the receipt and waited. About an hour later I got an email that I had a response. I went to retrieve and it asked me to pay… I contacted customer service and they said I had not paid. Checked Paypal and it was received by them- also deducted from my bank acct. I sent them the receipt and went back and forth with about 20 emails. Got no where but the run around. I asked for a phone number – I called, no one answers… so left a message. 2 days later and have gotten nowhere. I am really ticked off- not even just the money- but the principal and the time I have taken on this! Ridiculous… DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY- YOU WILL BE SORRY!" "I clicked the $10.00 box that I am willing to pay for recommendation of a simple drawing software program. They charged me for $175.00. I sent them an email and claimed a refund. No response yet. I was in touch with their 'Expert' waiting for further advice because the first was not fully usable. I am waiting for both responses. 08 / May/ 2009″ "i did not accept any answer's i received so they told me i would receive all my money back in my account in four days but instead the took twice as much more out and made my account over drawn by $148.00." "I submitted a question to Justanswer and paid £6.30. I was told the money would only be taken from me if I accepted an answer. I haven't had any answers at all but the money has been taken." Also important to note that if you decide you want to exit their site. You end up getting this message:
WAIT! Your question has not been posted yet. This is what you get by placing a fully refundable deposit into your JustAnswer account:
* Experts are reassured that you are serious and are willing to reward them for a helpful answer.
* You will be able to preview and "Accept" your answer before deciding to pay for it.
* Deposits are fully refundable for any reason until you are happy. Satisfaction guaranteed!
Thank you,
JustAnswer also tells you that if you are not satisfied with your experts answer. You do not need to pay, but how can this be when you need to pay to get in contact with the said "expert" ? I would highly recommend you stay away from this site. Now I am not saying that they only scam people. JustAnswer.com may help around 25% or so of people. But when someone loose $100 USD when they only choose to pay $6 USD something is very wrong ! From the comments I have read throughout the net it seems like around 50% actually get what they are told to they will get. It also seems like they have had some inside scamming themselves, people who claimed to be experts and were noting of the sort. ———————————————————————————————–

Paula Kearns of New Zealand speaks exclusively to FIFA.com as part of a series of interviews with the four candidates vying to become the first woman to be elected onto FIFA's Executive Committee.
FIFA.com: Can you introduce yourself?
Paula Kearns: Football is my sport and although I never played at school (it wasn't offered as a sport for girls back then) I still play and have played socially for the last ten years. I have three children and live in Auckland, New Zealand.
I have been involved at nearly every level of the game – as a player, a coach of my daughter's team, occasional referee, club president, at regional board level, as acting CEO of NZ Football in 2008 and since then as a NZ Football board member.
I am a qualified chartered accountant and have been for 20 years. My experience includes working for two of the big four firms, PWC and Deloitte, as well as establishing my own successful accountancy practice. In 2010, I made a career shift into sport management and I have been the CEO of Canoe Racing NZ for the last three years until recently. Canoeing is a small but very successful sport in New Zealand and I was delighted for the sport and for the country when Lisa Carrington brought home Olympic gold in the K1 200m event.
Following my board appointment to NZ Football I took an active interest in board roles and I am a member of the Institute of Directors of NZ and have completed substantial formal board training.
What importance do you attach to being nominated by your confederation?
It is a real honour to be nominated by the Oceania Football Confederation – a small but progressive confederation that has recognised the development of women's football as a priority. This nomination is an opportunity to make a real difference internationally to the progress and growth of women's football.
How did you react to the FIFA President's proposal in 2011 to have a woman on the Executive Committee?
When I heard the proposal in 2011 to have a woman on the Executive Committee I was very pleased that FIFA recognised the importance of the women's game by creating the role. Women have much to contribute at all levels of the game and it shows great leadership by FIFA to recognise this at the very top.
If you were elected, how would you see your role?
If I were elected I would see my role as being the global advocate for women's football and the voice for women's football on the Executive Committee. I would make myself fully available to support confederations and national federations to drive the growth of women's football and overcome challenges. I would work closely with FIFA staff to ensure there is a clear strategy for the growth of women's football that is being achieved. Additionally I would expect to fully contribute and add value as a member of the Executive Committee to football board matters.
What is your vision for women's football?
My vision for women's football is that the opportunity to learn and play football is offered to every girl in the world and that women's football continues to grow and strengthens our sport and our communities.
We'd like to ask you some personal questions based on the 'Proust Questionnaire' so that we can find out more about you. What is your favourite motto?
Life is what you make of it.
Who is your favourite heroine of all time?
Kate Sheppard, who led the campaign that saw New Zealand become the first country to give women the vote in 1893.
And in football?
New Zealand captain Rebecca Smith
Which match will you always remember?
The opening game of the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup when New Zealand played Canada. I was so proud that New Zealand was hosting the inaugural tournament and that I was able to participate in the opening ceremony.
What is your favourite word?
The word that you hate the most?
This interview will be published to coincide with International Women's Day on 8 March. Is this day important to you?
International Women's Day is an important day for me and for all women. It globally raises the profile of gender equality and the importance of women. It is a day to reflect on the progress women have made towards equality, but also to consider that there is still some way to go.

Buried in this USA today Story about Al Jazerra coming out of the closet so to speak, actually putting their shingle up in America is a line that might have been easily missed if you are doing a quick read:
Coleman says she watches Al Jazeera simply because it offers so much international news. "It has a lot more foreign correspondents in the field. If you want to know what's going on in Mali, it's going to be Al Jazeera that's covering it. We just don't have any more foreign correspondents on the ground in (U.S.) television the way Al Jazeera does."
"Coleman" is Isobel Colemen of the council on Foreign Relations a "non-partisan" Washington think tank. The head of the group since 2003 his Richard Haass who is a regular on MSNBC's Morning Joe Isabel was asked about the bias' that might come from Al Jazeera concerning their treatment of Israel & the Arabs (all emphasis mine)
"They're straight shooters as much as any major news outlet today. There is no unbiased news today,'
She continued
"The bias is in the selection of what stories you cover and how you cover them. Al Jazeera will bring its own bias, but it's no more or no less than what we're used to already in this country."
Now readers of this blog have known this for years but what will Chuck "Mythology" Todd say to this? How will he react when a person from an organization whose head, Richard Haass maintains media bias is a fact of life so matter of fact that it's not worth commenting about?
I suspect it will likely look something like the reaction of Mrs. Merriwether when Rhett Butler bids on Miss Scarlett in Gone with the Wind.

Rush to name storms may be costing you money
Decisions to name storms draw concern
As season ends, some say center rushes to classify, which costs you
With another hurricane season set to end this Friday, a controversy is brewing over decisions of the National Hurricane Center to designate several borderline systems as tropical storms.
Some meteorologists, including former hurricane center director Neil Frank, say as many as six of this year's 14 named tropical systems might have failed in earlier decades to earn "named storm" status.
"They seem to be naming storms a lot more than they used to," said Frank, who directed the hurricane center from 1974 to 1987 and is now chief meteorologist for KHOU-TV. "This year, I would put at least four storms in a very questionable category, and maybe even six."
Most of the storms in question briefly had tropical storm-force winds of at least 39 mph. But their central pressure — another measure of intensity — suggested they actually remained depressions or were non-tropical systems.
Any inconsistencies in the naming of tropical storms and hurricanes have significance far beyond semantics.
The number of a season's named storms forms the foundation of historical records used to determine trends in hurricane activity. Insurance companies use these trends to set homeowners' rates. And such information is vital to scientists trying to determine whether global warming has had a measurable impact on hurricane activity.
Forecasters at the hurricane center deny there's any inconsistency in the practice of naming tropical storms.
"For at least the last two decades, I am certain most, if not all, the storms named this year would have also been named," said Bill Read, deputy director of the Miami-based center.
What everyone agrees has changed is the ability of meteorologists to more accurately analyze tropical systems, thanks to an increased number of reconnaissance flights with sophisticated tools and the presence of more satellites to monitor storms from above.
Scientists generally agree that prior to the late 1970s and widespread satellite coverage, hurricane watchers annually missed one to three tropical storms that developed far from land or were short-lived.
But this season's large number of minimal tropical storms whose winds exceeded 39 mph for only a short period has ignited a separate debate: whether even more modern technology and a change in philosophy has artificially inflated the number of storms in recent years.
Launch of QuikSCATA case in point is Tropical Storm Chantal, a short-lived system that formed in late July south of Nova Scotia and moved toward the northeast, out to sea.
Some meteorologists say the storm was never a tropical system at all, because it formed well out of the tropics. Others say it wouldn't have been named before the 1999 launch of the QuikSCAT satellite, which measures surface winds and alerted forecasters to Chantal's organization.
"Without QuikSCAT, Chantal might never have gotten named," said Jeff Masters, a meteorologist and founder of The Weather Underground Web site, a popular resource for tracking hurricanes.
As the technology to observe storms has grown better, the definition of a tropical storm has remained unchanged. Such systems have a center of low pressure with a closed circulation, organized bands of thunderstorms and winds of at least 39 mph. Storms are upgraded to hurricanes when their winds reach 74 mph.
In earlier years before widespread satellite coverage, the hurricane center placed more emphasis on measurements of central pressure than wind speeds in designating tropical storms and giving those systems names, Frank said. Central pressures and wind speed are related, but the relationship isn't absolute.
Frank said he prefers using central pressure, because it can be directly measured by aircraft dropping an instrument into a tropical system.
If a reconnaissance plane had measured a wind speed above 39 mph during Frank's tenure, the system would not automatically have been named. His forecasters might have waited a day to see if the central pressure fell, he said, to ensure that the system really was a tropical storm.
That practice probably would have prevented some systems, such as Tropical Storm Jerry, from getting named this year, Frank said. After being upgraded, Jerry remained a tropical storm for less than a day in the northern Atlantic.
"In the past, we would have waited to see if another observation supported naming the system," Frank said. "We would have been a little more conservative."
Data inconsistenciesThe apparent change in the philosophy of naming systems has rankled some longtime hurricane watchers. Jill Hasling , president of Houston's Weather Research Center, said comparing the number of tropical storms and hurricanes today with the historical record is almost impossible.
But Read, of the hurricane center, believes wind speeds are the true indicator of a tropical system's status. Now that more accurate wind measurements are available, it only makes sense to use the best technology to quickly determine if a system has reached tropical storm strength, he said.
"An oncologist today would use the latest technology for determining and assessing one's cancer," Read said. "Would you use a doctor who only used X-rays instead of the latest MRI?"
Inconsistencies with the data have plagued scientists trying to determine whether global warming has increased the number or intensity of hurricanes.
In fact, there are reasons to believe that historical storms have been overcounted as well as undercounted, said Judith Curry, chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Before satellites, scientists had few ways to tell the difference between tropical systems and non-tropical storms. As a result, some non-tropical storms probably were named.
"The bottom line is that, yes, we do have errors in tropical cyclone counts," said Curry. "But it is not clear whether this adds a net negative or positive bias to any trend."

Jonah Hill Explains How He Got Leonardo DiCaprio to Do 'Titanic' Pose + Made Him Sick [VIDEOS]
No one, not even Leonardo DiCaprio's 'The Wolf of Wall Street' co-star Jonah Hill, is safe from the grip of Leo mania. While appearing on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show,' the actor explained how he got Leo to crash his 'SNL' opening monologue and in intimate, 'Titanic' pose fashion. Hill also shared how he made Leo physically ill.
No, really.
"Leo has never hosted 'SNL' and has never been on the 'SNL' stage and I was like, 'You're so funny and people don't get to see how funny you are… they know you are an amazing actor,'" Hill said about plotting to incorporate DiCaprio into his episode.
He explained that he wrote the monologue with the 'SNL' writer and with Leo on the phone, as the writer was pitching jokes, without the writer knowing Leo was listening!
Another writer then suggested doing the 'Titanic' pose at the end. Hill didn't want to pitch it to Leo. But it happened and was fun, and it translated on the small screen.
Hill also explained that when filming, Leo beat the crap out of him, forgetting that they were acting and in character, so Hill had to resort to using his brain to retaliate in return. In the film's sushi scene, DiCaprio ended up eating 80 pieces of raw yellowtail sushi and eventually throwing up. The only ones laughing? Hill and director Martin Scorsese.
He also talked about his dog, Carmella, the light of his life, who is loved by Channing Tatum.

ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe told the media on Tuesday that following its first meeting in Durban, last week, the party's newly elected national executive committee has directed the top six to meet with the leadership of the ANC Youth League.
The Monday meeting will deal with the combustible relationship between the ANC and its league.
The last serious manifestation of renewed tensions between the ANC and its league took place after the expulsion of its president, Julius Malema.
Malema was expelled from the party after he was found guilty by the ANC's national disciplinary committee of bringing the party into disrepute.
Elusive stability
ANC insiders and political commentators alike believe that until the two sides reach a mutually acceptable deal that covers all aspects, including the adherence to the ANC Youth League constitution and the general functioning of the league, the stability craved by all will remain elusive – at least for now.
Mpumalanga tabled a motion to disband the youth league during the ANC conference in December last year but this was rejected, and the conference mandated the newly-appointed ANC NEC to address the challenges facing the youth league.
Addressing journalists at the post-NEC briefing, Mantashe said that the disbandment of the youth league was not entertained at all during the NEC meeting in Durban.
"We are not discussing disbandment. We are talking about the constitutional role of the youth league here and how it relates to the ANC. The objective is not disbanding. The ANC Youth League has a role to play [in the ANC] and it must play that role," said Mantashe.
During a recent interview with the SABC, President Jacob Zuma was at pains to comment about the possible disbandment of the youth league.
"I can't describe the details of what's going to be done. Certainly you know they don't have a president, they've got an acting president. They don't have a secretary general, the deputy is acting. You can't say that's normal. The leadership that is coming in must address those issues. How they're going to emerge in terms of the outcome I think it's going to depend on the interactions … but certainly they must have a president, they must have a secretary," Zuma said.
"We are all guided by the ANC. I'm hoping that the period leading up to now the current youth league membership and those who are in the NEC must have realised the kind of difficulties they've put this organisation that is so important to nurture the young people of this country politically but also to give the mother body an opportunity to mould them into future leaders of the ANC," he said.
Mangaung hangover
Since the expulsion of Malema, the league's leaders have toned down their rhetoric against the ANC leadership, and this was partly the reason why there has been no sense of urgency in taking action against them.
At the weekend, deputy president of the youth league Ronald Lamola told thousands of ANC supporters who attended the party's annual January 8 statement celebrations in Durban, that the youth league had accepted the outcome of Mangaung.
He said the youth league would support Zuma and all the newly-elected NEC members.
Prior to Mangaung, the youth league was at the forefront of the campaign to replace Zuma with the former ANC deputy president Kgalema Motlanthe as president.
"We are not suffering from the Mangaung hangover. We accepted the outcome of the conference and we will support Zuma and the new NEC," said Lamola.
The youth league is planning to hold a national general council in the next few months in order to elect the new president and treasurer general.
Suspended youth league secretary general Sindiso Magaqa is expected to return to his position sometime in May, but the Mail & Guardian understands there are some in the ANC who want to get rid of him because of his close relation with Malema.
Lamola is expected to contest for the position of president with the league's head of international relations, Abner Mosase.

Abram and Lot Part. 1From Egypt Abram went up to the Negeb with his wife and all that belonged to him, and Lot went with him.a 2* Now Abram was very rich in livestock, silver, and gold.b 3From the Negeb he traveled by stages toward Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had formerly stood, 4the site where he had first built the altar; and there Abram invoked the LORD by name.c
5Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents, 6so that the land could not support them if they stayed together; their possessions were so great that they could not live together. 7There were quarrels between the herders of Abram's livestock and the herders of Lot's livestock. At this time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were living in the land.
8So Abram said to Lot: "Let there be no strife between you and me, or between your herders and my herders, for we are kindred. 9Is not the whole land available? Please separate from me. If you prefer the left, I will go to the right; if you prefer the right, I will go to the left." 10Lot looked about and saw how abundantly watered the whole Jordan Plain was as far as Zoar, like the LORD's own garden, or like Egypt. This was before the LORD had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. 11Lot, therefore, chose for himself the whole Jordan Plain and set out eastward. Thus they separated from each other. 12Abram settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled among the cities of the Plain, pitching his tents near Sodom. 13Now the inhabitants of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the LORD.d
14After Lot had parted from him, the LORD said to Abram: Look about you, and from where you are, gaze to the north and south, east and west;e 15all the land that you see I will give to you and your descendants forever.f 16I will make your descendants like the dust of the earth; if anyone could count the dust of the earth, your descendants too might be counted.g 17Get up and walk through the land, across its length and breadth, for I give it to you. 18Abram moved his tents and went on to settle near the oak of Mamre, which is at Hebron. There he built an altar to the LORD.h
* [13:2–18] In this story of Abraham and Lot going their separate ways, Abraham resolves a family dispute by an act that shows both trust in God and generosity toward his nephew. The story suggests Lot rather than Abraham is the natural choice to be the ancestor of a great family; he is young and he takes the most fertile land (outside the land of Canaan). In contrast to Lot, who lifts his eyes to choose for himself (vv. 10–11), Abraham waits for God to tell him to lift his eyes and see the land he will receive (v. 14). Chaps. 18–19 continue the story of Abraham and Lot. Abraham's visionary possession of the land foreshadows that of Moses (Dt 3:27; 34:4).
