LOS ANGELES -- On October 27, 2008, Michael G. Oxley, the retired Ohio congressman who co-sponsored the landmark Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, addressed the opening night dinner for UCLA Anderson's Director Education and Certification Program (DECP). Rep. Oxley's address offered his reflections on the landmark legislation, including his efforts to get it passed and its impact since.
The Director Education program -- offered by UCLA Executive Education -- is an essential resource for directors with all levels of experience who want to grasp the nuances of new regulations in corporate governance, envision the impact of emerging issues, and astutely evaluate matters ranging from accounting considerations to corporate strategy. The DECP dinner offers participants an opportunity to interact with program alumni, faculty and other directors and features a keynote by a nationally recognized governance expert. From Rep. Oxley, attendees learned first-hand the background and impact of what has been a byword for legislation in the area of corporate governance straight from its author.
Past keynote speakers have included such luminaries as UCLA Anderson Dean Emeritus Harold Williams, a former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); attorney Daniel Petrocelli, lead counsel for Jeffrey K. Skilling in U.S. v. Jeffrey Skilling and Kenneth Lay; Charles A. Bowsher, former comptroller general of the United States and Linda C. Thomsen, director of the Division of Enforcement for the SEC.
UCLA Executive Education offers the Directors Education and Certification Program twice a year. Upcoming program dates are May 18-20 and October 19-21, 2009. For more information about the DECP, please follow this link.

South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham told reporters President Donald Trump is putting his ability to govern at risk by repeating allegations illegal voters cost him the popular vote.
Graham, a former candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, was on his way to a cabinet nomination for Rep. Tom Price (R-Georgia), and reacted to the comments Trump reportedly made last night during a meeting at the White House with ranking Members of Congress.
"It's not coming from a candidate for the office, it's coming from the man who holds the office," Graham said.
"I am begging the president to share with us the information you have about this, or please stop saying it."
Instead, he said the president should come out and call the election "fair and accurate."
Meanwhile, protesters gathered outside of Graham's district office in Charleston, South Carolina, urging the senator to vote against Betsy DeVos -- President Donald Trump's pick for Secretary of Education.

Jeff Wilpon didn't wait long.
Wilpon, doing the right thing, acted quickly and decisively today in announcing GM Omar Minaya and manager Jerry Manuel are no longer a part of the Mets. There was no need to delay the inevitable.
Here's his statement: "We are extremely disappointed in this year's results and the failures of the past four seasons. We need to hire a new General Manager with a fresh perspective who will transform this club into a winner that we want and our fans deserve. We appreciate all that Omar and Jerry have done for the Organization and thank them for their time and effort. Changes like these are never easy, especially when you are dealing with people you like and respect."
It was a clipped, cliche of a quote, offering nothing new. That might come in a press conference this afternoon. Probably not, as the real story never is told in these types of gatherings.
Both handled their dismissals with class and dignity, qualities you admire and respect. They aren't always qualities that translate to winning baseball games.
Manuel was very classy yesterday in his post-game remarks and during the game when he prompted Mike Pelfrey to take a bow and removed David Wright and Jose Reyes so they could receive ovations. It was a small gesture, but it meant a lot to the players involved. Minaya was the same this morning, saying: "I think we needed a change here. The bottom line is we had three years where we didn't finish the job, and I've been in this town long enough to know that we're expected to win."
Minaya and Manuel are gone, as we've anticipated since the end of July when the Mets plummeted out of contention after a freefall West Coast trip.
In particular, Minaya's decisions on Oliver Perez and Luis Castillo have hamstrung the Mets financially, which was underscored in Perez's awful performance yesterday after a month of inactivity. Watching Perez soil a strong pitching performance by Pelfrey and the bullpen might be Minaya's legacy with the Mets.
However, before we pile on Minaya, let us remember that ownership signed off on those moves and did not spend the money wisely.
Ownership vowed Minaya and Manuel would be held accountable in 2010, and that they have been. However, ownership promised, but did not deliver on its vow to make significant player acquisitions. And, ownership has not delivered to its fan base a concrete blueprint for change.
Minaya and Manuel are gone, but unless ownership makes a dramatic hire to lead its front office, they will merely be scapegoats.
Change is underway, but will there be real change?

California Department of Transportation
District 7 – Los Angeles
Kelly Markham
(213) 897-0303
July 20, 2010
Los Angeles – Caltrans today announced it has awarded Security Paving of Sun Valley, California a contract to construct new bus/carpool lanes on the Golden State Freeway (I-5) between the Hollywood Freeway (SR-170) and the Buena Vista Street interchange in Burbank. The $129 million project is financed in part ($41 million) by President Obama's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act).
"My Administration is working hand-in-hand with President Obama's team to ensure Recovery Act dollars are pumped into California quickly and responsibly. This project will help stimulate the state's economy and, in this instance, invest in the future of California's transportation infrastructure," said Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The project will construct nearly nine miles (4.4 miles in each direction) of new bus/carpool lanes and repair the pavement on one of the most heavily traveled freeways in California. The section on I-5 between SR-170 and the Buena Vista Street interchange has an average daily traffic volume of 190,000 vehicles. Construction is scheduled to begin in September.
"We are moving full speed ahead during these tough economic times to get Recovery Act funding into the economy to put people to work," said Caltrans Director Cindy McKim. "This is a very important project that will encourage people to carpool and use transit, which will help reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality in the San Fernando Valley."
Under Governor Schwarzenegger's leadership, California has obligated nearly $2.5 billion in Recovery Act funding obligated to 931 highway, local street, and job training transportation projects statewide. For more information on the Recovery Act visit: http://recovery.ca.gov/

Red Sox on board with plans for expanded replay
TORONTO -- The plans by Major League Baseball to increase instant replay for the 2014 season are a big hit in the Red Sox's clubhouse.

TORONTO -- The plans by Major League Baseball to increase instant replay for the 2014 season are a big hit in the Red Sox's clubhouse.
Under the new proposed system, the only type of play that won't be reviewable are balls and strikes.View Full Game Coverage
There were two games this season Boston lost to top American League contenders in large part because of obvious missed calls.
The most glaring was Daniel Nava being called out at home plate by Jerry Meals on July 29 against the Rays. Television replays clearly showed Nava got his foot in before the tag, only to be called out. After the game, Meals admitted that he was out of position and missed the call. If Nava had been called safe, the Red Sox would have tied the game.
"The one against Tampa Bay, that would have been the tying run," said Red Sox outfielder Jonny Gomes. "If that was the last game of the year, Tampa Bay wins the AL East on an umpire's missed call.
"I think for a while, I was really against it. I do like the human element. I don't think it's a knock on the umpires, but I think the game is faster than it's ever been. You're talking big power-hitting guys running 3.8's to first. You're thinking this guy is not going to score and he does. You're thinking about this guy down the right-field line just whistling a ball to home plate. It might catch you off guard if you're not in position. That was almost too fast to call. With our technology, let's use it."
Nava was involved in another controversial call on June 23 at Detroit when Avisail Garcia hit a fly ball to deep right. Nava drifted back and made the catch, but the ball popped out as he was making the transfer for the throw. Second-base umpire Mike DiMuro ruled it a drop and Garcia scored the go-ahead run in a 7-5 victory for Detroit.
"You don't like to take the human element out of the game because that's what makes baseball baseball," said Nava. "But if it can help make some calls right, I think everyone is a fan of that."
Red Sox manager John Farrell will be directly involved if the proposed process goes through, as he will be able to challenge one call in the first six innings, and two from the seventh inning on.
"I think, just in general, the inclusion of video replay is good for the game," said Farrell. "I think the game is ready for additional technology to be brought in. And it will be interesting to see if any adjustments, or what the final use of it, or availability of it will be, once they get through the negotiations in the offseason."

A Southern California teacher has been placed on administrative leave after an audio recording of a profanity-laced outburst reached school administrators.
The Los Angeles Unified School District would not confirm details surrounding the incident, saying only that "there have been concerns raised about an audio clip that the district is now investigating," according to spokeswoman Ellen Morgan.
The Daily Breeze reported that a student at the Humanities and Arts Academy (HArts) -- a pilot school that just opened this fall on Narbonne High School's campus in Harbor City -- recorded the outburst by an English teacher.
In the audio clip posted by the newspaper, the person believed to be the teacher can be heard shouting, "I know my f------ s---. Don't f--- with that. I'm tired of trying to educate you, and you guys resist every step of the f------ way. Get the f--- out of here."
Students could be heard giggling at the end of the recording. According to the Daily Breeze, the teacher was trying to teach students the difference between race and ethnicity when one particular student allegedly continued to challenge her.
Morgan said the district would not answer questions regarding the case because it is under investigation. However, she confirmed that "the employee has been removed from the campus."
NBC4 has learned the teacher had been a teacher at Narbonne High for 10 years before joining the pilot school.
The widely circulated recording was garnering mixed reactions from students and parents Wednesday.
"I think the teacher should get fired for talking to the student that way," said Carla Mateo, a junior at Narbonne High School. "They're not supposed to react like that no matter what the situation was."
Another student, who did not want to be identified, said the recorded exchange points to a much larger issue district-wide.
"They don't have control of what's going on," the student said. "They're not supporting the right people to run the school."
"Why would a student heckle a teacher?" parent Anton Georgis said. "They're there for an education. If they can't understand that, the teacher should have went to the principal and the student should be taken to a lower grade to be re-educated."

PMI needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 217 designs submitted by 37 freelance designers.
Practice Management International
Currently, Queensland Practice Management (QPM) (http://www.qldpracticemanagement.com.au) is an Australian based health care consulting firm specialising in day surgery/hospital consulting, practice management set up and ongoing management, ISO 9001:2008 auditing, development of policy & procedure manuals, human resources management, staff profiling, financial management, budgeting & cost control, & project management services for the design and construction of day hospital and medical specialist practices. QPM is now rebranding to Practice Management International and will be launching its services internationally within the next 6 months. Once the logo is chosen we plan to utilise the successful candidate/business for the design of letterhead, email signature, business cards for staff, 'with compliments' slips, electronic newsletter design.
1. Owners of medical centres for human resource management and general/specialist practice management 2. Developers of medical facilities... our company specialises in the clinical and administration design of theatres, private health legislation related to the design of facilities including consulting rooms, recovery areas, sterilisation departments etc whole facility overview.
3. Established medical businesses requiring a review of all business activities related to 'best practice' requirements for the industry and either developing and/or implementing streamlined systems to enable increased return on investment for the owners.
4. Practice Managers seeking further education in practice management techniques
5. Hospital and health facilities requiring internal and external auditing services for ISO 9001:2008 quality assurance standards
6. New medical practitioners seeking to set up their own private practices
7. Groups of medical practitioners seeking to set up day hospital /surgery facilities
8. Corporate health requiring quality assurance consulting services and overall business management services
The logo needs to encapsulate an international presence whilst demonstrating that the business is easilty recognisable to the health care industry. Keen to see a corporate-professional-modern design, although one that does not 'date' easily. Business strategy is to branch out beyond the medical industry in 3-5 years however the logo needs to reflect our business systems, clinical, HR, and financial expertise somehow?? We are looking for a design which is unique. Practice Management International does not have significant competitors in the Australian market which offers the same comprehensive list of services within the one entity hence our business is unique hence will also expand the brand within the Australian market as well eg. Practice Management International - Sydney or Melbourne or Perth etc. We do not wish to see the logo as an image with PMI listed beside it - this is too basic - I look forward to your designs and hope this brief has helped.

UConn football game day
Husky Kickoff
BYU at UConn
WHEN: Tonight, 7
WHERE: Rentschler Field, East Hartford
LINE: BYU by 17
RECORDS: Season opener for both teams
SERIES: First meeting
WHO'S MISSING: UConn --RT Andreas Knappe (leg) doubtful. BYU -- WR Devon Blackmon, RB Jamaal Williams have been suspended for the game for violations of team rules.
When UConn has the ball ...
MINIMIZE MISTAKES: Turnovers killed the Huskies last season. Absolutely killed them. The offense made a total of 25 last season, 12 which turned into touchdowns for the opposition. Casey Cochran has to play within himself and take what the defense gives him. With depth at both receivers and tailback, there are ample weapons to make things happen -- not with big plays -- but simply by pounding the ball down BYU's throat.
When BYU has the ball ...
BECOME KINGS OF THE "HILL": Heisman Trophy candidate Taysom Hill rushed for over 1,000 yards and passed for over 2,000 last season as the Cougars finished 8-5 and went bowling against Washington in the FightHunger Bowl. Despite not having Williams or Blackmon for the game, Hill will be a considerable threat. Keeping him contained will be paramount if the Huskies want to try to pull off the upset.

With the affiliate marketing industry now worth billions, the marketplace has undoubtedly become hugely congested. Competition is fierce, so it's imperative for affiliate sites to differentiate themselves to stand out.
If you're an affiliate with a new or existing site, here are some ways you can use SEO to get established in the marketplace:
Get Your Niche Right
First, choose a worthwhile niche and clearly define it to your audience. This is where a lot of affiliate sites fail. Google's Panda updates, are actively punishing thin affiliate sites that exist purely to make money without adding value. Now it's essential to have a niche that adds value beyond the products or services on your site.
Let's use the travel sector as an example. Starting a website dedicated simply to selling travel products won't be enough because the competition is already too great – Expedia, Hotels.com, Priceline, Ortbitz, and so on. New affiliates need to establish a niche in their industry that isn't already dominated by big brands.
For example, going after the discount travel niche with a main keyword of "cheap hotels", would be a poor choice for that very reason. Instead, target a niche that has weaker competition and less competitive keywords.
Make Sure the Keywords You Target Make Sense
The more resources you can dedicate to an SEO strategy, the more competitive a market you can enter. Make sure that whatever niche you decide on, the keywords are a realistic target.
Website owners without an understanding of SEO are commonly tempted by the large traffic potential for terms like "discount hotels" and decide to make that their target. However, ranking on the eighth page for such a competitive term that results in zero incremental traffic is a poor use of resources.
Instead, time should be spent on more realistic targets that can lead to more traffic. Set your sights on lower search volume terms with less competition that you can realistically make an impact on.
Consider using a keyword analysis tool such as the SEOMoz Keyword Difficulty Tool to measure the difficulty for ranking for a particular keyword in order to help you decide if it is a good target. Here's an example of how it works:
The chart illustrates how it would be far easier to make an impact in the search results for terms like "special hotels" or "unique hotels" rather than "cheap hotels" or "discount hotels." From there you can drill down further to find out who you competition is and if you can realistically catch them.
"Unique hotels" competition:
"Cheap hotels" competition:
Based on the metrics, the competition for "unique hotels" is far less than for "cheap hotels". The competition consists of less established brands with far lower domain authority, page authority, and less links. The lower these measures are, the easier it will be with the proper SEO strategy to make an impact on these terms.
Make it Relevant
Once you've established a niche, the next consideration has to be relevancy. Ranking boils down to how much relevancy and how much of an authority your site has for a given keyword.
The key way to build relevancy is to create compelling content which targets the keywords you want to rank for.
Staying on the keyword "unique hotels," an example of relevant content might be a list of the top 10 unique hotels in the world with well-written copy explaining why each hotel is unique. Also, consider creating pages for your top destinations, and write about the most unique hotels for those locations.
To grab and maintain the user's interest, talk about your niche in a fun and engaging way and, from there, promote an action (which, in this case, would be to book their hotel).
Freshness of content is also important for relevancy and integrating user-generated content can be a key way to achieve this.
Also, consider creating content that could go viral, like "20 Unique Hotels For Honeymooners on a Budget" or "15 Uniquely Terrible Hotels." The more interesting the content, the greater chance it has to go viral.
Build Authority
As you build relevant content, increase authority through traditional link building and an effective social media strategy. Sharing your quality content socially will certainly lead to more followers, fans, tweets, likes, and shares.
Also, consider:
- Building links to your site by writing blog pieces for relevant sites in your industry.
- Creating interesting infographics (great for viral content).
- Creating entertaining videos.
Don't forget to identify any quality links your competitors already have and go after them. Don't waste your time acquiring tons of low quality links – they won't help your rankings and it's time you can spend better elsewhere.
While we used travel as our main example, these principles apply to affiliate sites in any sector. Choose your niche along with the proper keywords and then focus on building relevancy and authority.
The opportunity is out there. Go out and grab it!

Wrestling tri-meets can be time-consuming affairs, but numerous forfeits shortened the three-team gathering at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy last Tuesday afternoon.
The host Blue Devils raised their record to 3-0 by picking up a pair of wins, shading the GFS Tigers, 30-24, and defeating Phil-Mont Christian Academy, 42-15. Phil-Mont, which had only six members of its regular nine-man roster available for duty, also fell to Germantown (1-3), 36-21.
For the SCH-GFS bout, the starting-weight roulette wheel happened to land on the lightweight match, and SCH accepted forfeits at 106 and 113 lbs. At 120, Blue Devils freshman Jackson Bistrong opened up with a takedown, but he didn't score any more points against visitor Elliot Wattenbarger. An SCH takedown attempt just at the verge of the ring shook up Wattenbarger late in the third period, but he finished out the match to secure a 7-2 decision.
Neither team had a 126 lb. entry, and at 132 an SCH forfeit to Tigers senior Andy Reed got Germantown back within three points in the team score. GFS tied it at 12-12 with a 6-5 decision at 138 lbs. Late in the third the Devils' Anthony Liddy picked up some points to make it close, but the sophomore couldn't overcome the early lead built up by Tigers senior Nick Davis.
Neither 145-pounder gave up points easily, and late in the contest SCH junior George Kunkel held a slim 4-2 advantage. GFS senior Luke Furukawa almost took Kunkel down onto his back in the final 10 seconds, but he didn't demonstrate enough control to score and Kunkel kept his 4-2 lead for the win.
Germantown took the lead in the meet score for the first time (18-15) thanks to senior Shimpei Kurokawa's third-period pin at 152. After a scoreless opening period, Kurokawa rolled up a 9-1 lead in the second, then pinned Devils senior Matt Klauder early in the final frame.
The 160 lb. encounter was the last weight class decided on the mat, with GFS junior Hillyard Nichols facing a new SCH wrestler, junior Mike Moriarty. The Devils' novice gave up some penalty points through his inexperience, but he came through the first two frames with a 6-4 edge. He went on to win a 10-7 decision, tying the meet score at 18-all.
In the next four weight categories, there were two double forfeits, and in the other two positions the Tigers didn't have anyone ready to go. This gave the host school a 30-18 lead, and even though GFS heavyweight Khari Goosby (a junior who was class champion at the SCH Invitational the previous weekend) acquired forfeit points at the end, the Devils came out six points ahead in the final tally.
Short-staffed Phil-Mont could only fill six of the 14 weight classes, which was a shame because the wrestlers the Falcons did have generally gave a good account of themselves. First facing GFS, Phil-Mont had 132 lb. sophomore Richie Cerebe post a 25-second pin against Reed, and at 152
senior Jake Sorkness used a 5-0 first period as a springboard to a 9-4 decision over Furukawa of the Tigers.
Two lanky juniors squared off at 160, and Germantown's Nichols (who had problems with ill-fitting headgear in both his matches) built up a 9-3 lead before pinning the Falcons' Ryan Dietz early in the third round. Another Phil-Mont junior, Chris Wojcik, qualified to wrestle at 220 lbs. during the pre-match weigh-in, but he bumped up to tackle the Tigers' Goosby at heavyweight. Goosby got a takedown in the first stanza, then reversed from the bottom position and pinned Wojcik in the middle of the second period.
At all the other weight categories either one or both of the two teams forfeited, and the more numerous Tigers took the meet, 36-21.
Phil-Mont went right into its confrontation with Springside Chestnut Hill, and Cerebe stepped up to 138 lbs. for his second pin of the day, which came against the Blue Devils' Liddy. The Falcons' Sorkness used numerous takedowns to built up a 10-1 lead through the first two frames at 152, and went on to top Klauder of SCH, 12-5.
In the other three weight classes where actual wrestling occurred, SCH picked up pins each time. At 160, Moriarty closed out Dietz in the middle of the first period, and at 182 SCH sophomore Ben Rubin won with 57 seconds remaining in his match against Phil-Mont senior Nick Hunter, who will normally wrestle in the 170 lb. class this season. At 220 the Blue Devils' freshman prodigy, Desmond Johnson, needed only 35 seconds to finish off the visitors' Wojcik.
In an exhibition match at 126 lbs., Falcons junior Justin Cummings defeated SCH freshman Jackson Bistrong.

ATHENS, Ga. _ Just in case the Lipscomb Bisons needed another reminder of the challenge ahead all they had to do was take a look in left center at Foley Field.
Painted in white are five baseball diamonds commemorating the five College World Series visits made by the Georgia Bulldogs, the last in 2006. The Bulldogs, the No.1-seed, face the Bisons, the No. 4 seed, here Friday afternoon at 2 CDT in an NCAA Regional. Georgia Tech and Louisville will play at 6.
The games will be televised live on CSS. Fans wanting to watch their game with fellow Bisons followers are invited to Arlo's in the student center for a special viewing party.
The Bisons went through a spirited workout Thursday afternoon. They found no reason to be intimidated by their surroundings. They are 5-6 over the past two seasons against SEC teams under Lipscomb coach Jeff Forehand with a 2-1 record against LSU, a 1-1 record against Tennessee, 1-0 record against Auburn, an 0-1 finish against Alabama and a 1-3 worksheet against Vanderbilt.
The Bisons are one of only four teams making their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament. The others are Dallas Baptist, an independent; Mount St. Mary's from the Northeast Conference; UC-Davis from the Big West Conference.
"We have a lot of older guys who are weathered," said Bisons catcher Caleb Joseph. "A lot of it has to do with being comfortable in an SEC setting and we are. All we can do is play a solid game and hopefully things will bounce our way.
"I don't think teams are going to overlook us. Georgia may take us likely but I don't think so. Georgia is a great team. They are well-coached. They are going be prepared. It is good being the underdog, but I wouldn't categorize us as that."
Georgia is planning to start right-hander Stephen Dodson, a junior with a 5-3 record and a 3.80 earned run average. The Bisons are starting left-hander Rex Brothers, 3-5, 5.69 ERA.
Leading the Bulldogs, the No. 8 seed nationally in the tournament, are Joshua Fields, SEC Pitcher of the Year, and Gordon Beckham, SEC Player of the Year.
Forehand and his coaching staff have spent time studying the Bulldogs, the SEC Champions. Scouting reports are a help, but both teams are at a preparation disadvantage since they have never met in a baseball game.
"When you haven't played a team and compiled your own report it is kind of hard to get your own idea of how to attack by looking at DVDs or what others say," Forehand said. "We know the Georgia players who are having good years, but we are getting most of our information off of the stat pages.
"Coaches sometimes over think it because we all want to have all the knowledge of what is going on. I think the scouting reports do the coaches more good than the players. The game is played on the field. We will see how it goes."
Forehand and his players have enjoyed the ride this week, but they are ready to simply play baseball.
"It has been a whirlwind," Forehand said. "Most people probably understand we are a small school that had some favor in a 15-inning game.
"We have never been in an NCAA Regional in a setting like this. But the closest thing is playing SEC games in the middle of the week. But we haven't experienced the energy level and the intensity level of a regional."
The Atlantic Sun had earned multiple bids for the NCAA Tournament in baseball the last nine years in a row. But this time around the Bisons are the sole representative.
"Our conference is pretty good," Forehand said. "Hopefully, we can represent the Atlantic Sun Conference extremely well."

Greece holds a national election on Sunday that is widely seen as a vote on whether it will remain in the euro zone. U.S. investors may have more at stake in the outcome than they think. In the short term, an unexpected outcome could sway portfolio values by 5% or more in either direction, according to a Thursday report by Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
The contest is between the far-left Syriza party, which has said it will reject the austerity measures Greece agreed to as part of past bailouts, and the center-right New Democracy party, which would leave the measures largely intact. If the new Greek government rejects the austerity measures outright, the country's creditors would likely withhold future bailout funds, leaving the nation with little cash and likely forcing it from the euro zone.
No opinion poll results have been released since June 2, in keeping with Greek law, but a massive 10% rally in Greek shares on Thursday could signal that investors believe the country will form a pro-euro government.
But such an outcome might not produce the biggest gains for investors in coming weeks, oddly enough. By BofA's reckoning, the most bullish outcome is that Greece fails to form a pro-euro government, resulting in a decisive response from the European Central Bank. That could include an interest rate cut, large bond purchases designed to push rates lower and a new program to guarantee bank deposits across Europe, or to recapitalize struggling banks.
The probability of all this is "low", but it could send the S&P 500 index 5% to 10% higher in a month, according to BofA. The 10-year Treasury yield would jump to 2.1% from its recent level of about 1.6% as investors left safe havens for risky assets. Gold would shoot to $1,700 an ounce from about $1,620 on anxiety over all that money-printing. Among the best places for investors to be would be European bank shares.
Only slightly more likely is the worst-case scenario, which consists of the same election outcome minus the policy response. Stocks and gold would shed around 5% within a month, and a rush for Treasurys would reduce the 10-year yield to a record low of 1.3%.
The most likely outcome, according to BofA? Greece forms a pro-euro government and sticks to its austerity program, and the policy response is limited. Any rally in stocks is sharp but short-lived, as investors quickly turn their attention from Greece's euro membership to wobbly Spanish banks and the weak European economy in general.
In other words, under the most likely scenario, the investment landscape looks pretty much the way it does now, for better or worse.

Hi Sam,
My 11-year-old daughter Kelly and I live in a 1,050 square foot two-bedroom condo. Kelly's bedroom is small and has two small windows. We are having so much trouble arranging furniture because she desperately needs storage. We have two mismatched side-by-side dressers that take up space. One is for her clothes and one for her books, school and craft supplies. The trouble is that she doesn't put things in the drawers but on top of the dresser. Kelly promises that she would keep her room tidy if she had a place for her things.
Thank you for your help, Kim and Kelly Simpson
Dear Kim and Kelly,
I can only imagine that you feel like you are bursting at the seams. On Pure Design, one of my favourite clients, 11-year old Madeleine was having similar problems. Her room was filled with piles of beads, books and schoolwork.
She also had mismatched chests of drawers. While I am not an advocate of a matched bedroom set, several dressers can feel like parked cars in a room; plus, more than one dresser can make it difficult to arrange furniture, especially in a small space. Keep the dresser that stores your clothes and remove the one for your craft and school supplies. You can push the bed into the corner or centre it against the wall that you see as soon as enter the room, opposite the closet.
Along the wall with the two windows, you should be able to fit two or three shelving units. Two if you don't have a desk in your bedroom, three if you do your homework at the kitchen table. In Madeleine's room, we butted two Ikea shelving units together to give the illusion of one shelf. Along the same wall beside the shelves, we added a desk. The shelves and desk were both 30 inches high to create one seamless line. I suspect the shelves will provide so much storage that you won't be able to fill all the cubbies at first, but it won't take you long to have them jam-packed.
If you're looking at this photo and thinking the shelves look like they could get very messy, there are a couple reasons why this type of storage works. Children spend a lot of time hanging out on the floor, open cubbies give them easy access to their things. But more importantly, kids like to see their stuff - it's easier to find things.
However, if you're a super Messy Marvin or Marva, you could consider shelves with cabinet doors but know that the clutter may end up on top instead of inside the cabinets.
To keep your shelves neat, arrange all your books on the shelf first. Then add picture frames and beloved dolls or bears. The key is to keep the pretty things on display and hide away loose crafting supplies like paint, brushes and string in baskets and fabric drawers.
The added shelf storage will definitely give you a better floor plan, and should help Kelly keep her room tidy, or tidier.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Hurricane Amanda rapidly gained strength far off the west coast of Mexico on Saturday evening and churned farther out to sea.
Amanda reached category 3 strength after becoming the first named hurricane of the Pacific season earlier on Saturday.
It was located 665 miles (1,075 km) southwest of the Mexican port of Manzanillo, with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph (185 km/h), the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
The Miami-based center said the storm could still gain more power as it turns to the north-northwest on Sunday and then begins to weaken Monday. There were no coastal watches in effect and Mexico has no significant oil installations on its Pacific coast.

At Sailfest, it's food safety first
New London — Before festivalgoers eat their first clam fritter, cheese steak slider or fried dough at Sailfest this weekend, the vendors who sell these delectable delights have to go through a thorough inspection to ensure that the food they serve is being properly handled and is safe to consume.
Sanitarians from the Ledge Light Health District began two days of inspections of he more than 50 food vendors on Friday.
Sanitarian Matthew Payne said he goes through a food service checklist before he issues a temporary permit. He makes sure that each vendor has gloves, hand towels and a supply of potable water. He checks that the temporary dish-washing station — which consists of a water bucket, a rinse bucket and food-grade sanitizer bucket — is properly set up.
At the Custom House Pier Friday morning, Payne paid a visit to a booth manned jointly by the State Street Saloon & Smokehouse and Harp & Dragon.
He used a digital thermometer to check a cooler containing marinades and another holding tartar sauce and cheese. All were being stored at safe temperatures.
Payne noted that cold food should be kept at 45 degrees or cooler, while hot foods must be maintained at temperatures above 140.
"It's all about keeping the public safe," Payne said. "We don't want anybody to get sick."
Scott Capano, whose family runs both the smokehouse and Harp & Dragon, said it was the first time they were participating at Sailfest. He said he is used to the inspection process, though, because they own restaurants and have participated in other outdoor food events.
"It's all about checks and balances," Capano said. "We, just like them, want to make sure that everybody is safe. They are here to work with us, not hurt us."
Vendors already licensed by the district do not have to pay for a temporary food service permit for any outdoor event. For-profit establishments must pay $55 — nonprofits, $25 — for temporary permits. The permits are good for 14 days.
Maurice Beebe, owner of the North End Deli in Groton, is an old pro at the inspection process, even offering Payne a test strip to inspect the concentration of his sanitizer bucket solution.
He has been participating at Sailfest for at least 16 years and said the key to serving food outdoors is organization.
He cooks and then freezes sausage ahead of time and portions his frozen fried dough in individual bags so it stays fresher longer.
"We're local," Beebe said, "and the last thing you want is for your customer to have a bad experience ... because people don't forget."
Stephen Mansfield, deputy director at Ledge Light, said customers at events such as Sailfest often take for granted that the food they are eating is safe.
"There are so many people in a concentrated area eating from non-traditional food service — not the brick and mortar establishments," . "It's more difficult and risky to have temporary events ... that's why we put such an emphasis to make sure everything is up to code."
The vendors also must have on site a qualified food operator, Mansfield said, a person who has completed an approved food-safety training program. He added that food inspectors like to check vendors right around the time they are about to open because it gives the most accurate picture of how the food is being handled and whether sanitation procedures are being followed.
He said the Ledge Light district has 700 licensed food service establishments and conducts 1,000 inspections a year.
"All we do is an inspection. It's really the responsibility of the establishment to ensure that protocols are followed throughout the event," Mansfield said.

Boullier confident of Raikkonen stay
Lotus team principal Eric Boullier is confident of keeping hold of Kimi Raikkonen because "he loves the team".
Raikkonen's future has been at the centre of speculation since the British Grand Prix when Mark Webber announced he would be leaving Red Bull. Having been heavily linked with a move to the constructors' champions Raikkonen has also reportedly been a target for Ferrari, but at present he doesn't have a contract for next season.
Asked if he was confident Raikkonen would be with the team in 2014, Boullier replied: "Yes I am.
"He loves the team. He likes to be here and he likes the environment that we have created for him. I understand that he has to be reassured about the strength of the team financially, the technical challenge we have to face for next year and where we go, so it's normal."
Asked about the remarkable run of 27 consecutive points finishes Raikkonen had been on before his retirement at Spa, Boullier said it was mainly due to the driver rather than the car's reliability.
"Obviously the team does a good job! And Kimi. I'm surprised, yes, because when you compete at this level you always face potential failure but we didn't and Kimi is clearly an exceptional racer. His race-craft is amazing and he can deliver from whatever position he is on the grid; he can always move up to the final positions. So this is mainly due to him and the strong reliability of the car."

I have been to the NAMM show in Anaheim about 17 times now. Part of me gets nervous because it is such a busy show. A bigger part of me is excited to see and talk with a lot of the artists we work with. I also look forward to meeting many new artists.
This year, we had a host of great performances in the booth. The Makepeace Brothers and Yellow Marbles are two great up and coming groups based in the LA area. They both performed 10-minute sets on Thursday. Friday brought us 2 a cappella groups – a new group called Pentatonix who won the first competition on the TV show " The Sing-Off" and the second was Shure Artists Take 6, who are now celebrating 25 years as a group. Both of their performances brought an amazing amount of energy and a large audience into our booth space. On Saturday, we welcomed famed producer Eddie Kramer for a discussion of how he used and continues to use Shure products to work his magic. Last but not least, a great local LA artist named Britany Christian performed short demos for our newly introduced wireless line GLX-D. We are very thankful to all the groups who spent some of their time with us at NAMM.
Other artists that came by to visit included Sheila E., Sinbad, Christina Perri, Tony Royster Jr., and Actor/Musician Charles "Chip" Easton who plays Deacon Claybourne on the hit TV show "Nashville."
Ryan Phillips and Adam Russell from the group Story of the Year also came by to interview yours truly as part of a documentary called "Who Killed (or Saved) the Music Industry?"
Since I have started Tweeting, I have been followed by a number of artists. One in particular, 10-year old Claire Stevens, came out to NAMM with her family. She is a singer/pianist/guitarist who is writing her own songs and is determined to be a big artist someday. She already has a 5 song EP that she recorded and her parents bought her a Super 55, which she has used at many performances including some at various House of Blues venues. Keep an eye out for Claire because you can tell she loves to perform and now she has her eye on our wireless products.
OK, so here's where the "+" comes in from the title. After a successful NAMM show, I stayed in the area to catch The Who perform in Anaheim. Definitely a BIG +! The group Vintage Trouble has held the opening slot on their tour for the last few months and they know how to get people moving. I've been fortunate to see The Who about 5 times now and it continues to amaze me how much energy they still have for performing. Pete Townshend moves like someone half his age. Roger is still swinging around his vocal mic (now a Beta 58A) and had a big hand in the arranging of this presentation of Quadrophenia for this tour. The encore consisted of several of their biggest hits.
The next day, I went up to the LA area to visit a few artists and management companies. I got to catch Simon Phillips recording some new tunes with KSM27's all over his toms as well as Kenny Aronoff playing at The Baked Potato with the Bombastic Meatbats, Chad Smith's group. What a great way to spend time in LA. Loved every minute!

Course programme
Alphonsa College owes its genesis to the vibrant vision, wisdom, benefaction and magnificent philanthropy of Mar Sebastian Vayalil, the first Bishop of Pala. Established in 1964 as a Junior College with 400 students and 13 teachers, the college has now attained the status of a First Grade women's college.

Continuing to expand its inhouse videogame work, Warner Bros. will self-publish the game based on next summer's tentpole "Speed Racer."
Versions of the game playable on Nintendo's Wii and DS will launch day-and-date with the pic's theatrical release in May. A version for Sony's PlayStation 2 comes out in the fall along with the DVD.
Given the short development schedule, Warner Bros. apparently decided not to invest in "Speed Racer" games for the high-powered PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles.
Kiwi development studio Sidhe is making the game. Joh Gaeta, co-VFX supervisor on the "Speed Racer" film, is working with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, studio's vidgame publishing arm, to maintain consistency between the movie and game.
"Speed Racer" is one of a growing number of upcoming vidgames that WBIE is financing and distributing based on internal properties, including "Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal," "Lego Batman," and "Dirty Harry."

Mandates To Buy American Should Be More Carefully Considered
Closed: 23 Sep 2009, 11:59PM PT
The Innovation Movement is an important effort to help make sure that innovation in the US is not stifled through bad regulations. In this discussion, we're looking for insights into how to make sure trade policy for things such as "Buy American" aren't used in a way that causes much larger amounts of harm to American innovation.
We all know that the economy is in tough shape these days, and (as always happens in such situations) there's often a misguided push to put up trade barriers to try to force people to "Buy American." Of course, time and time again, such trade barriers have proven to actually do tremendous harm to Americans, rather than help them. We're already seeing this with friendly trading partners like Canada threatening to retaliate. That retaliation harms American jobs much more than any jobs "gained" from such protectionist barriers (as pointed out by the non-partisan and highly respected Peterson Institute). On top of that, by adding barriers on goods that Americans want, the end result is only that Americans end up paying *more* for their goods -- not exactly an outcome consumers are likely to appreciate during an economic downturn.
Granted, it's quite easy to understand the patriotic feeling behind a "Buy American" clause -- and we all want to support our country. But the problem is that in not paying attention to the actual impact, and pretending that there are no "unintended consequences," a Buy American clause can be detrimental to America in the long run. That doesn't seem particularly patriotic.
The Innovation Movement is an effort by the Consumer Electronics Association to make more people aware of important policy issues, and to make sure that Congress actually takes relevant data into account, rather than just focusing on the patriotic headline while ignoring the unpatriotic results.
In this Insight Community Conversation, we're looking for thoughtful and well-written discussions on the pros and cons of a "Buy American" clause for US policies. The best results will be used as posts on the Innovation Movement website.

Good grief. Desiree Hartsock has barely been filming her season of The Bachelorette for five seconds, and already it sounds like she's encountered more than her fair share of drama with the dudes who were cast selected to date her.
Yes, we already know the identities of some of the Bachelorette's 25 guys -- and while there seem to be a few promising suitors in the bunch, one most definitely isn't what he appears to be.
*Warning: Spoilers Ahead*
Get this one -- according to Reality Steve, 28-year-old Brian Jarosinski had a girlfriend when he went on the show, and at some point during filming last week, she showed up and confronted him. (Oh, the horror. Can't wait to see that little exchange go down.)
He supposedly was "removed," a.k.a. kicked off the show, after that, so I guess we can cross him off the list as a potential finalist. But considering the girlfriend in question is a former Playboy Playmate, I doubt he's wallowing in misery right now -- unless, of course, she's pissed off about him going on The Bachelorette in the first place.
And if she isn't, then it probably means she was in on the whole deal and knew Brian was applying to be on the show -- and that probably means producers were aware of his dating status as well.
Oh come on, you know they take this sort of thing into consideration when filling those 25 spots! They can't risk having a scandal-free, boring season -- that wouldn't be any fun. If I had to guess, I'd say Brian was likely cast because he had a girlfriend, and her showing up and confronting him was planned from the beginning.
I wouldn't be surprised if the only person kept out of the loop was Desiree -- and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little bit excited to see how she reacts when she realizes not all the men on the show may be there for the right reasons.
(Cue the ugly cry during the confessional.)
This season hasn't even premiered yet, and it's already shaping up to be a good one.
Do you think this guy was cast specifically because he had a girlfriend?

KENNESAW, Ga. - The Tennessee Tech volleyball team played hard all day Friday as they went to extra points in two of their sets, losing in five to host Kennesaw State and falling in four to Coastal Carolina.
Close call with Kennesaw
Down 0-2 to open the match, The Tennessee Tech volleyball team did not back down. Tech rallied to win the next two sets, before falling 18-16 in the fifth to give Kennesaw the win.
Tech opened up set one by keeping close through the first 10 points, but following a 5-5 tie, Tech was never able to catch back up to Kennesaw. Tech dropped set one, 25-21.
Set two played out the same way. Tech never was able to gain control of the set. Despite a few service runs by freshman Sharon Anderson and junior Courtney Smith, Tech was never able to gain more than a few points at a time. Kennesaw took set two by a score of 25-21.
Tech was down in set three, but fought back hard. Down 10-5, a few Tech kills and a five-point service run by Anderson gave Tech its first lead of the set, 12-11. From there, Tech took control. Behind five services ace, two from Anderson, and three blocks from senior Elise Robertson, Tech took set three, 25-20.
Maintaining momentum into the fourth, Tech and Kennesaw battled back and forth once again. Following a 9-9 tie, the Golden Eagles took control. Junior Madison Keyes prowled the net, defending the court by tallying five blocks in the fourth set alone. Anderson added three blocks in the fourth, also. Tech's defensive power led the way as they won the set, 25-22.
In the fifth and deciding set, the back-and-forth went one last time. Despite three blocks by Keyes and Robertson, Kennesaw and Tech fought into extra points. Following a 14-14 tie, the two teams continued to trade points until Kennesaw was able to win back-to-back points and took the fifth and deciding set, 18-16.
Robertson and Keyes both set career-highs while protecting the net with 10 and nine blocks, respectively. Robertson also added 12 kills. Junior Ellen Conti added 10 kills and seven digs. Anderson dished out 33 assists, three aces, three digs and three blocks. Junior Courtney Smith added 18 digs.
Extra points with Coastal Carolina
Tech continued its close matches Friday when it took on Coastal Carolina.
In set one, Tech took the early lead at 10-6 off kills by sophomore Cody Dodd and juniors Madison Keyes and Ellen Conti. Tech maintained the lead most of the set, but a few kills by the Chanticleers brought them back in and tied the set at 24. Back-and-forth the final points went until Coastal Carolina was able to score off a service ace and Tech error to take the first set, 27-25.
Back-and-forth it went, again, just like a yo-yo. Set two was tied through 12 points at 6-6, then again at 7-7. Coastal Carolina went on a small run to take the lead 10-8. Tech was able to get the tie at 12-12, and from there, points were traded on kills or errors from either offense. Tech was able to gain a 19-17 lead, but following a Coastal Carolina timeout, the Chanticleers never looked back, winning set two, 25-22.
Set three followed in fashion as Tech and Coastal Carolina battled. Tech took the early lead as the well-rounded offense was distributed by freshman setter Sharon Anderson. With a 24-18 lead, Tech looked to have the set in hand, but a string of errors, and some fight from the Chanticleers, Coastal Carolina took the lead 25-24. But Tech did not give up; a kill by senior Elise Robertson, and two attack errors from the Chanticleers, and Tech took set three 28-26, and stayed alive in the match.
Back-and-forth, back-and-forth, again the Golden Eagles and the Chanticleers volleyed the points in set four. All through the set, both teams looked to gain an advantage and it looked like each team might win, at different points throughout. Tech took the early lead at 14-10, but then the Chanticleers responded, coming back to tie the set at 19-19, and from there the yo-yo match continued. It continued until Coastal Carolina was able to clinch the set and the match, 25-22.
Sophomore Cody Dodd led the way with 14 kills and 5 blocks. Senior Elise Robertson and junior Ellen Conti added 12 and 13 kills, respectively. Anderson put up 39 assists.
Tennessee Tech will finish play at the Kennesaw Invitational on Saturday as they face Stony Brook at 9 a.m. and Samford at 1:30 p.m.

Sometimes the Answer
Photographs by Cheryl Dunn
March 23 – April 21, 2012
Ivory & Black Soho
94 Berwick Street, W1F0QB London, UK
Ivory & Black Soho proudly presents "Sometimes the Answer", a new show by Cheryl Dunn, which will be the debut exhibition of the new gallery in London's Soho. The exhibition will feature a wide range of photographs from Dunn's 30 years of signature documentation. In the artist's words, "At first it may seem ambiguous, but I think it is timely…given the political climate in the world and our inundation with media, collective sanity is very difficult. Nothing is cut and dry, so the answer needs to come from within. When I feel insane, I head to the streets." Dunn lets her photographic instinct guide this selection of work, inviting the viewer to draw their own conclusions, revise their opinions, or see things in a new light. "I'm a huntress, only I hunt for images, and that's how I approach shooting " The works are united by Dunn's uncanny ability to keep her finger on the pulse of contemporary American youth. The exhibition will be accompanied by the release of a limited edition artist's book of Dunn's photographs.
Cheryl Dunn lives and works in New York City and across the world. An accomplished filmmaker and photographer, her work has been exhibited at various galleries and museums, including Deitch Projects in New York, The Tate Modern in London, and the "Art in the Streets" exhibition at the Geffen Contemporary MOCA. Her films have played at numerous film festivals including Tribeca, Edinburgh, Rotterdam, Los Angeles and Havana, as well as on PBS. Dunn was one of the subjects of the landmark documentary, book and travelling museum exhibition, "Beautiful Losers". She has had two books of her photographs published – "Bicycle Gangs of New York" and "Some Kinda Vocation". Most recently, Dunn is finishing up a full-length feature film documenting New York City's preeminent street photographers, titled "Everybody Street".
Ivory & Black Soho is a new gallery dedicated to New Contemporary Art, located on 94 Berwick Street in the heart of London's Soho. Founded in 2011 by Pedro Matos and Rui Da Paz Louro – Ivory & Black shows the most exciting artists working today, such as Andrew Schoultz, Cleon Peterson, Cheryl Dunn, Deanna Templeton, Ed Templeton, Geoff McFetridge, James Jean, Pedro Matos, Richard Colman, Ryan Travis Christian, Skullphone and Wes Lang.

Name: Jon
Gender: Male
Age: 65
Location: Surrey, B,C, Canada
Dear Dr Dick, I'm on Avodart because of my high PSA reading, as a result my sperm count is now down to zero. I understand it's the drug's side effect, is this reversible? I haven't totally lost interest in sex and still jerk off from time to time. I realize that I need to make adjustments (e.g. becoming a total bottom) and find other body contact pleasures. I'm an attractive Asian and still get lots of attention in Vancouver's baths. Another recurring menopausal problem I have are hot flashes when sleeping, how long do I put up with it? Love your website! Is Richard Wagner your real name?
Yours, Jon
Thanks for your kind words, Jon. Yes, Richard Wagner is my real name.
To understand your question about the side effects of Avodart; I need to ask you a question. Are you sure you are talking about sperm count? Avodart is a prostate directed medication for men with a high PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) reading. It has nothing to do with your testicles, which produce your sperm. And how would you know about your sperm count in the first place?
I think you may be speaking about the diminished amount of spooge (ejaculate) you produce while on the drug. That would make much more sense than a depleted sperm count. Because your prostate is responsible, in large part, for the amount of jizz you produce. And since the drug shrinks your prostate, it's completely understandable that less cum would be an unfortunate side effect of the drug. Is it reversible? I suppose if you stopped taking the drug your prostate might regain its previous vigor, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. Your age may have a lot to do with this too, but I'll get to that in a minute.
You probably are also experiencing erection problems on this drug too, right? Some of that is age related, of course. But one of the more unpleasant side effects of this, or any other medication that targets one's prostate, is the loss of libido and wood. A nice cockring might be helpful. Have you tried one of those little buggers? They also look real nice in the bathhouse, don't cha know.
You also ask about another recurring menopausal problem — hot flashes. Allow me to help you with some of your vocabulary. Menopause is a female thing. Andropause is the male equivalent. Like menopause, andropause is a result of a decrease in hormone levels, testosterone and androgen in our case, as we age.
Yeah, hot flashes are sure enough a good sign that one is in the throws of andropause. They often disappear on their own. But some people advocate hormone replacement therapy for us older dudes. This is very controversial, however. Many in the medical industry believe the hormone replacement, particularly testosterone, increases the risk of prostate cancer. Personally, I don't believe this is true. I am unaware of any studies that actually make that correlation. On the other hand, living with diminished hormone levels clearly has some very unpleasant side effects, like the ones you are experiencing.
In the final analysis, each of us needs to make up his own mind about this, weighing all the pros and cons.
Good luck
