Capella's flexible online degree programs are designed for busy adults with families and careers—here, they achieve their educational goals while meeting other commitments.
We're proud of their success. At Capella, they learn career-relevant skills. During their programs and after they graduate, they advance professionally and make a difference in their organizations and communities.
Our graduates have good reason to be proud of the degrees they earned at Capella, too. They receive an average 51% salary increase within 5 years of graduation¹, 96% of employers rate the performance of Capella graduates as exceptional or proficient², and 95% of our graduates are satisfied with their Capella experience¹.
¹ Eduventures survey of Capella graduates, 2010
² Capella Employer Survey Report, 2011
These outcomes will help you understand the expertise you're expected to gain from each of our programs, how Capella graduates are performing professionally after graduation, and what they think about their education and how it's affecting their careers.
We believe in being clear about the real cost, time, and value of a Capella degree. Going back to school is about your goals, your life, and your career. But it's also about the time and money you'll spend – and what you'll get out of it.
The program length for a bachelor's degree is defined by the US Department of Education as 4 years, or 16 calendar quarters. The program length for Capella's other programs varies. It is defined as the number of calendar quarters it takes a typical part-time learner to complete a program. We base this calculation on the average number of courses learners take each quarter and the average number of quarters in the comprehensive exam and dissertation phase for doctoral programs. We assume a learner enrolls continuously (i.e., four quarters a year) and has no transfer or prior learning credits. Your actual time will depend on number of transfer or prior learning assessment credits and whether you enroll continuously (4 quarters per year) or take a quarter off periodically.
The on-time completion rate indicates what percentage of our graduates – working adults with family and career commitments — finish their programs within the epected program length.
The Gainful Employment information includes a job information based on the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) codes and Standard Occupational Classification system (SOC ) that correspond to occupational information associated with different degrees and program levels. Each job title is linked to more detailed information on the Occupational Information Network (O*NET), the nation's primary resource of occupational information, which is sponsored by the US Department of Labor. The jobs listed are just a sampling of some of the careers and fields our graduates enter.
It's important to know how much you can expect to spend in pursuit of your degree. The cost of your program depends on many factors, such as transfer credits, education benefits, and how long you take to complete your program. Program cost represents what the total would be with the average transfer and prior learning credits our learners apply to each program.
There are many ways our learners reduce their costs in addition to transfer credits, including employer reimbursement, scholarships, grants, credit for prior learning, and military benefits. Most of our learners are able to reduce the total cost of their programs.
Books and fees are an additional cost you should consider when choosing a program. At Capella, we strive to keep fees simple and book costs low.
There are multiple types of financial aid to help pay for tuition and other education expenses, including federal student loans and private loans, and many of our learners qualify for financial aid. The Financing figures show the median amount of student debt our graduates incur during their Capella programs, including debt they took on to pay for living expenses.
The specializations, minors and certificates listed below have been retired. Capella does not report learning and career outcomes data for retired offerings but does provide information on expenses, completion rates, and career information for those retired offerings for which we still have learners enrolled.
The Gainful Employment disclosures, required by the US Department of Education (under 34 CFR 688.6), provide some information about completion, expenses and occupations based on learners who graduated between July 2014 and June 2015.

1. Re: LDAP Search object(DrChannard) Oct 19, 2005 12:15 PM (in response to (Alessio_Giorgini))OK...I solved the problems related to the base DN and other options setup.
But, my workflow is always stalled after the first user compile the form.
What I am trying to do is quite simple.
1° user compile a form inserting a userid.
Then I have to do a LDAP search with this component in order to extract from
the LDAP the email of the user inserted in the form.
I do this. And I think it works. But at this point the process always
stalled, because of course there isn't an action following LDAP Search.
I try to insert a User Action, in which appears another form that displays
userid and email, but the process stalled before arriving this point.
Any suggestion?
2. Re: LDAP Search objectHowardTreisman Oct 19, 2005 10:02 PM (in response to (Alessio_Giorgini))Hi
A couple of suggestions:
1. Please send the exception that was reported when the process stalled.
2. Please download the VariableLogger QPAC from http://www.avoka.com/avoka/qpac_library.shtml - this will enable you to easily see what the values of your process variables are after running the LDAP qpac.
3. You may want to use a simpler QPAC to do what you need - we have one called LookupUser that's much easier to use than the LDAP one. It's not available for download yet, because it's only in Beta, but I'd be happy to send it to you. Send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com if you'd like a copy.

3. Re: LDAP Search object(abhishek_upadhyay) Nov 16, 2005 3:01 AM (in response to (Alessio_Giorgini))One More query on LDAP QPAC.
Is it possible to search email and display name of process creator ??
We tried to use forn variable "creator_id" but how to use this we are not able to understand.
4. Re: LDAP Search objectHowardTreisman Nov 16, 2005 4:33 AM (in response to (Alessio_Giorgini))Hi
The creator_id is an internal workflow id that does not exist in LDAP, so you can't use the LDAP QPAC to look it up.
You CAN use the LookupUser QPAC we've developed.
You can download a beta from http://www.avoka.com/betaqpacs/
This will return the email address, login id, and lots of other details about the designated user.

5. Re: LDAP Search objectHowardTreisman Nov 16, 2005 4:35 AM (in response to (Alessio_Giorgini))PS "creator_id" is not a form variable. It's a process variable, or more correctly, a process-instance variable. (Picky, picky...:-)
6. Re: LDAP Search object(abhishek_upadhyay) Nov 16, 2005 8:37 PM (in response to (Alessio_Giorgini))Hellow Howard,
We know that "creator_id" is a form variable and using that in SQL Qpac we can find the details of person who is initiating the workflow.
I am having your "Lookupuser" QPAC can you tell me how we can find the person detail who is initiating the Workflow using that QPAC
7. Re: LDAP Search objectHowardTreisman Nov 17, 2005 4:14 AM (in response to (Alessio_Giorgini))Hi
(This is from memory, I don't have the QPAC installed on this machine, so I'm not 100% sure this is correct, but it should be very close.)
Inputs tab:
Type: Auto
Any User Identifier: {$/process_data/creator_id$}
(Or you could use PrincipalId for a more efficient search)
Output tab:
Select any of the outputs you want, and place it into a variable. All the variables expect string types, except Found and User Is Current, which are booleans (or numeric).
The UID String is the name that the user logs into FM or adminui with.

8. Re: LDAP Search object(Netkeeper) Nov 20, 2005 1:04 PM (in response to (Alessio_Giorgini))Hello,

I have also been attempting to use the LDAP QPAC that is included with the SDK. I have added it to a demo process, configured all the properties in the dialog and ran the test. The test comes back with what I would expect. No errors.

My simple search is just looking for the department of a user in my Active Directory. The test does return back the correct department and a row count of 1. This is all good. But...

When I attempt to run the process from Form Manager, the process stalls every time on the LDAP search action. When I look up details on the stalled action this is the first few lines of the error I get.

10. Re: LDAP Search object(Guvenc) Jan 4, 2007 5:32 AM (in response to (Alessio_Giorgini))Hi Abhishek,
How did you success to find the details of the process initiator by using creator_id ? I need to set some of the fields in the form with the data of the process initiator.
11. Re: LDAP Search objectHowardTreisman Jan 4, 2007 4:24 PM (in response to (Alessio_Giorgini))Hi Guvenc
The creator_id is a workflow-internal ID for the user - this ID does not exist in LDAP, so you can't use it in an LDAP lookup.
You can try using our LookupUser QPAC, which will locate most information about a user from the creator_id. (It's much easier to use than LDAP too:-) You can download a free evaluation version at:
12. Re: LDAP Search object(Billy_Blackerby) Feb 8, 2007 3:38 PM (in response to (Alessio_Giorgini))You can also use the following SQL in a SQL QPAC to retrieve the email address and then data map that to a variable of the workflow:
SELECT email FROM EDCPRINCIPALENTITY WHERE id = '{$/process_data/@creator_id$}'

This is the Rekonstruktion when the first Deadly SpaceMan is believed to have been brought into being by the horrors of Hospital 555.

Almost nothing before this is known, but all Rekonstruktions succeeding this are documented for posterity and the forums. Before this occurred The Fall of the Minifig and the Dooplok wars, which would cause the remaning Dooplok figs to form the Ironic Punishment Brigade.

No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Recipe (Egg Free Dessert)
07.15.11 by Jackie
If you're searching for a no bake cheesecake recipe, look no more. It looks fancy but it's ultra easy to assemble. As a bonus, it's an egg-free dessert. So what's not to love? Give this mascarpone cheese dessert a try.
I flavored the cheesecake filling with strawberries and added bananas for a thicker texture. Instead of placing the cheesecake in a spring-form pan, I decided this time to shape the dessert in a long triangular mold I usually use for making terrines (French jellied meatloaf). I first covered the molds with store-bought Italian-style lady finger puffs and completed it with the strawberry-and-banana-flavored cheesecake filling. The presentation turned out pretty spectacular. You know the saying: you eat with your eyes first!

With the end of the year approaching, and the possibility of further changes in the federal estate tax looming, many families have inheritances and legacies on their mind. And among well-off boomers, the idea of providing something for their heirs remains a strong motivator. Fifty-five percent of boomers with $3 million or more in investable assets consider it important to leave their kids a financial inheritance, according to most recent U.S. Trust Insights on Wealth and Worth study.
That's a nice sentiment, for sure. But many advisers and wealth managers argue that leaving an inheritance, if not done right, can do more harm than good. "Even a responsible kid might not be able to handle an inheritance," says attorney Richard Watts, the founder and president of Family Business Office, a legal and consulting firm, and author of Fables of Fortune: What Rich People Have That You Don't Want.
We've all heard a horror story or two about the kid who blew through his inheritance via a series of hot cars, fancy vacations and misguided investments. And of course, the financial-services industry benefits from stories like this, since firms can earn good money by signing on to steer your future heirs out of trouble.
Still, there are plenty of legitimate pitfalls that go with inheriting money. An inheritance "might affect [someone's] willingness to work hard or go to school," says Andrew Aran, a partner at Regency Wealth Management in Midland Park, New Jersey. It can leave someone's children "more subject to bad influences" who are looking to get their hands on some of the money, says Tracy Craig, a partner and chair of Mirick O'Connell's Trust and Estates group in Boston. And it can rob them of self-fulfillment, says Watts. "When you give kids a lot of money, you take away some of the struggle," he says. "Kids don't get a feel for who they are."
That said, inheriting money can help children further their education, buy a home and provide for their own families. "I can't think of an instance [where you'd want] to cut someone off, unless you are estranged from a child," says Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz, president of the Charles Schwab Foundation, a non-profit focused on financial education, philanthropy, and volunteerism; even then, you might want to use the inheritance as a "starting point for making amends," she adds.
So, for those in the I-want-to-leave-an-inheritance group, the pros recommend a few steps that can help keep things from going awry.
To begin with, parents ought to consider whether their kids are mature and responsible enough to handle an inheritance. "Give them some money while you are still alive and watch what they do with it," recommends Aran. "Do they learn from their mistakes with it, or do they not?"
Parents might consider putting some limits on an inheritance. Some create trusts that specify that the money be used only for education, health and maintenance, says Schwab-Pomerantz. She recommends that parents not make the terms of a trust too strict: "Make it general enough to allow kids leeway to grow their life."
Parents with younger or less mature kids should also take their children's age into account –for example, by creating a trust that staggers the ages at which children receive the money, says Fletcher Findley, a co-founding attorney at estate planning firm Findley & Rogers in Seattle. A parent could dictate that the child gets payments at ages 25, 35 and 45, rather than all at once. Another option: appointing a trustee to keep an eye on things until the children reach a certain age.
Parents also need to consider whether a child might have addiction or psychological problems that would impair her ability to deal with the money. While this seems like a no-brainer, "sometimes these issues aren't apparent until the late 20s or 30s," says Craig.
Finally, would-be benefactors should realize that "children don't have a right to an inheritance," says Craig. Sometimes, adds Watts, it's better to "give them a little when you are living, and less when you die."

Fresh from announcing a massive oil discovery in the Gulf of Mexico, Anadarko Petroleum /quotes/zigman/217978 /quotes/nls/apc APC said Thursday it found a new natural-gas field off the coast of Mozambique.
Reserves on the field, named Orca, are estimated at around 3 trillion cubic feet to 6 trillion cubic feet. Other Anadarko fields in the vicinity are estimated to hold 15 trillion to 35 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas.
Analysts at Jefferies compared the discovery to a tailwind adding "incremental upside" to Anadarko shares.
Orca's smaller size, however, is good news as the new field is likely to be developed by a floating liquefied natural gas facility.
It "brings cash flow forward when compared to the alternative of a larger gas find that would be developed via an onshore LNG terminal with production placed further out due to the large prospects" at the larger fields, the analysts at Simmons said.
The Orca-1 discovery well encountered about 190 net feet of natural gas pay. The well was drilled to a total depth of 16,391 feet in water depths of approximately 3,481 feet. Anadarko operates the well with a 36.5% interest.
Not everything in Africa went right for the Houston-based company: in the same media release, Anadarko said a well offshore Kenya failed to find commercial quantities of oil.
The company will keep at it in Kenya, though. It said the well contributed useful data about Anadarko's holdings in the east African country and the rig has been moved due south to drill another well.
Anadarko in March said its Shenandoah-2 well in the Gulf of Mexico hit 1,000 net feet of oil pay, a discovery the company called a "potentially giant project."

Today Experiments
Sum Signal Experiment
We tried to record sum signal at several powers without success. For some reason the X and Y amplitudes were really disturbed (jumpy), so as the sum. On low power around .20W they were constant, but as soon as we got above .70W they were really disturbed. And also, every time we increased the power we had to adjust the x and y amplitudes. The pictures in the corresponding link show that: http://www.evernote.com/pub/pranavrathi1/04092010
Power Step-Up Beam Profile experiment
I have successfully finished the starting modifications for this experiment. I checked a new set-up to record the beam profile. It worked well. In the set-up I did not use any lens to project the beam at CCD. I noticed some new patterns, which were arise from the AOM: http://openwetware.org/wiki/Koch_Lab:Research/AOD_tidbits These patterns were really destroying the beam profile of first order at the high power. One possible solution of the problem is use a lens to project the beam; which I will work on as as soon as I finish the sum signal experiment.

Proposed New London budget includes 7.24% hike
New London - In a State of the City address that focused largely on change, Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio on Tuesday laid out the current state of this city, where he hopes it will soon be, and presented his proposed budget as a first step in getting there.
The mayor also declared that he will not seek re-election next year.
Finizio presented his proposed budget of $87,128,467 in spending - an increase of 7.24 percent over the current year's budget - which he said "pulls us out of the hole, stabilizing our tax rate and our services."
"7.24 percent is a big increase for one year. It's a very big increase," Finizio said at City Council chambers. "I don't enjoy presenting you with this increase."
The $87.1 million budget for fiscal year 2014-15 represents $46 million for general government and $41.1 million for the Board of Education.
The general government proposal is 12.53 percent more than the current year's budget of $40.8 million, while the Board of Education's portion of the budget represents an increase of 1.9 percent over its current budget.
If Finizio's proposed budget is adopted, the city's tax rate would increase by 12.20 mills to 39.70 mills. The city's taxable grand list has decreased by 25 percent, Finizio said.
Despite the 7.24 percent increase, Finizio said, many city residents will see their tax bills go down and most downtown property owners will not see a large increase as a result of revaluation.
"This is one of the few times when a property tax increase will fall largely on those most able to pay," he said. "Many of the people with the least breathing room in their personal budgets will see their taxes rise only slightly, or even fall."
The budget he presented, Finizio said, will help put the Whaling City back on track to realizing its potential.
"As a city, we are on the brink of capitalizing on some of the most exciting opportunities our city has ever seen," Finizio said. "Although much of it isn't yet visible, New London is going through a period of significant economic development."
The mayor cited the expected groundbreaking of a grocery store and housing development at the corner on Bank and Howard streets, the City Flats project, New London Main Streets's CreateHereNow program, and the National Coast Guard Museum as major keys to the economic revitalization of the city's central business district.
"And yet, in order to realize the potential of these opportunities, we need to extricate ourselves from a very real, and a very grave, financial peril," he added.
Last week, The Day reported that the city's cash-flow problems could result in it running out of cash next month as a result of a withering fund balance, or savings account, chronic deficits in the city's capital projects fund and millions of dollars in state reimbursements that the city has never collected.
"It's hard for me to say, but I have to say it. It's hard for you to hear, but you have to hear it," he said. "We are out of money, and we are out of time."
Finance Director Jeff Smith has recommended that the City Council authorize roughly $10 million in bonding to help stabilize the balance sheet and nearly double the balance of the city's savings account.
Smith's recommended plan of action, along with the adoption of "a good budget," will ensure that the city "permanently turns the financial corner," Finizio said.
But even though the bonding proposal would nearly double the city's fund balance, it would still be just 25 percent of what it should be, the mayor said. So, at the behest of the city's financial advisers and bond rating agencies, Finizio included a $500,000 request for fund balance replacement in his budget.
Additionally, Finizio's proposed budget would balance the fire department's budget for the first time in a decade, include an increase of $1.4 million for the police department, fund 12 new positions in the Public Works Department, provide small increases for the library, Senior Center and Recreation Department, and add the city positions of industrial safety/risk manager and grants coordinator.
"This budget isn't frivolous. It doesn't contain luxuries. Neither does it put Band-Aids on gaping wounds. It rebuilds departments which have been decimated over the years, and it begins, in a small and reasonable way, to rebuild our fund balance," Finizio said. "The total price tag is not cheap, but I believe the alternative is even more expensive and unacceptable."
Many of the city councilors in attendance said that while they agree that many city departments need more funding, the mayor's budget will need some tweaking.
"He has crafted a budget that I believe is honest and is balanced," Council President Wade A. Hyslop Jr. said. "Now it is up to the council to take a look at that budget and see how we can work either within the confines of it, make cuts if necessary but not make deep cuts that will further destroy what is going on in our city."
The council's lone Republican, Councilor Martin T. Olsen, said the council will have to go through the mayor's budget "with a fine-tooth comb."
"I think that the public at large will find this proposed increase to be unacceptable," he said. "It will be incumbent upon the council to look at this thing rationally and reasonably and to try to come up with a spending plan that is responsible and also meets our needs."
Thursday, the City Council will hold its first of three budget review sessions during which it will go through the budget of each city department. The sessions, all of which begin at 5 p.m., will be held April 3, 10 and 14 in Council Chambers.
Ultimately, the mayor said, the fate of the city is up to its citizens. "We can have all this. We can be the city we have always known we could be," he said. "The signs of our renewal are as abundant as the roots growing under spring soil. Either they will wither and die, or else we will choose, in this New London spring, to nurture them and in so doing, give new life to our city."

By Jonnelle Marte
The decision this week by Moody's to downgrade some of the world's biggest banks may strike another blow to an investment that has been losing its appeal for many savers: the money-market fund.
After stock markets closed Thursday, Moody's Investors Service announced downgrades on 15 global banks, including five of the six biggest U.S. banks by assets. While the action could raise borrowing costs for these banks, experts say the moves could also pose a threat to the $2.5 trillion money-market fund industry. Because money funds are required to invest only in highly rated short-term securities, the cuts mean a smaller pool of high-quality assets for fund managers to choose from, says Greg McBride, senior financial analyst for Bankrate.com.
As a result, some firms may be forced to hold more cash while they look for short-term securities to replace those from the banks. "That could further depress the returns they deliver to investors," says McBride.
The downgrades come at a particularly tough time for the money fund industry. With the Federal Reserve keeping long-term interest rates near zero, fund providers have had to cut fees and expenses to keep the yield above zero; the average fund yields just 0.03%. Others have closed funds to new investors or shuttered them altogether. From January 2009 to April of this year, investors pulled $1.3 trillion from the funds, according to the Investment Company Institute, a fund industry trade group.
For investors looking for a dependable place to stash and grow their savings, advisers say there are better options. Online savings accounts, for example, can offer more attractive yields than money funds and insurance from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, says Ron Pearson, a financial adviser in Virginia Beach. The online savings account from Ally Financial offers an annual percentage yield of 0.84% and has no minimum deposit. However the rate is variable and may change after the account is open. People who won't need to access their savings for at least three months can consider a certificate of deposit, where the average 1-year CD on Bankrate.com is paying 0.76%.
Investors with a longer time horizon may also consider using short-term bond funds, where savers can keep their money relatively liquid while earning slightly higher returns, says Pearson. However, those savings wouldn't be insured by the FDIC and could potentially drop in value, he says. The $1.7 billion Pimco Enhanced Short Maturity Strategy fund (MINT), for example, is pitched by the firm as a way to beat returns on money funds and invests in short-term, high-quality securities. The fund, which charges 0.35%, has returned 1% over the past year, according to Morningstar.

Alterations To Online Content
From UA Libraries Digital Services Planning and Documentation
Requests for alterations to online content may arise both internally and externally. The following are the policies and procedures for correct handling for these requests. The spreadsheet referred to below is on the Share drive in S:\Digital Projects\Administrative\Alterations and is titled "alteration_to_content.xlsx".
Stage I
- All such requests will be channeled to Donnelly Lancaster Walton, Archival Coordinator. (Martha Bace will fill in should Donnelly be absent for an extended period of time.) The reasoning for this is that most requests concern changes to the web delivery of archival content, and any such changes must be vetted by an archivist.
- Donnelly will record requests in a specified spreadsheet on the Share drive, which is accessible by the Metadata Unit and Digital Services as well as Hoole personnel. This spreadsheet will serve both as a record of requests (so that we can study patterns) and also as a method of documenting the path of these requests through our system to completion.
- Donnelly (and/or other archivists) will determine whether the request should be enacted. If they decide it should not, that decision will be noted on the spreadsheet. If they decide that it should, the request enters stage II.
Stage II
- If the change requires alteration to digital captures, Donnelly will notify Jeremiah Colonna-Romano in Digital Services; and if the change requires alteration to metadata, Donnelly will notify Mary Alexander in the Metadata Unit stating the field to be changed and its corrected text. Mary will provide corrected files for archiving and storage. In each case, Donnelly will record in a column of the spreadsheet the date of such notification, and who was notified.
- The notified person will be responsible for either taking action personally, or making sure that others fulfill the necessary request. In addition, Mary/Jeremiah will:
- record in the spreadsheet when the requested change has been made in their work area, and
- notify Jody DeRidder of changed content ready to go to storage and web
- record such notification on the spreadsheet, with the date. At this point, the request enters stage III.
Stage III
- Jody will transfer changed content to storage and alter LOCKSS manifests and filenames as necessary to avoid overwriting original documents.
- Jody will also ensure that the alteration is promulgated through to web delivery, and will record the date of this in the spreadsheet.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has promoted Jonathan Coppess to be administrator of USDA's Farm Service Agency after Doug Caruso resigned from the post, citing philosophical differences with the Obama administration.
Coppess had been serving as deputy administrator for farm programs, a position in which he oversaw the day-to-day operation of the Farm Service Agency's implementation of the farm programs authorized under the 2008 farm bill.
"Jonathan Coppess brings a wealth of agricultural policy experience to USDA's leadership team," Vilsack said in a statement issued shortly after Caruso's resignation on July 8. "His farm background will be invaluable as President Obama and I work to assure the soundness of the safety net for American farmers and ranchers."
Previously, Coppess worked for Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson as his legislative assistant for agriculture, energy and environmental policy. Coppess, who grew up on his family's corn and soybean farm in west-central Ohio, joined Nelson's staff in February 2006.
In a statement issued with his resignation, Caruso said he was stepping away from the FSA administrator's job because he and administration officials had "divergent views" on how to accomplish the goals they shared.
"Good people with the same goals and objectives can and will differ on tactics," said Caruso, a former dairy executive and one-time state director for Wisconsin Sen. Herb Kohl. "Those differences made me a bad fit for the position and, given that reality, the most constructive thing I could do was step aside to make way for USDA leaders to appoint someone more in synch with their vision."
Caruso later said he had agreed not to speak further about his differences with the administration and that he wished Coppess and the administration well.
The FSA administers and manages farm commodity, credit, conservation, disaster and loan programs through a network of federal, state and county offices. These programs are designed to help producers manage their business risks and improve the stability and strength of the domestic agricultural economy.
Vilsack also announced he was naming William J. Murphy as administrator of USDA's Risk Management Agency, which oversees USDA's federal crop insurance programs. Murphy had been acting administrator during the transition period.
"Bill has spent nearly three decades in the federal crop insurance community and he brings valuable hands-on expertise and executive management to the USDA's leadership team," Vilsack said. "His expansive program experience and knowledge of the agency's responsibilities will be invaluable."
Before serving as acting administrator Murphy was the RMA's deputy administrator for insurance services; director of the regional office in Davis, Calif., overseeing crop insurance operations in California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and Hawaii; and director of the Western Region Compliance Office. He is a native of Pennsylvania and received a B.S. in Agronomy and Farm Management from Pennsylvania State University.
RMA helps farmers and ranchers manage their business risks with effective, market-based risk management products through a network of public and private-sector partners. RMA's mission is to promote, support, and regulate sound risk management solutions to preserve and strengthen the economic stability of America's agricultural producers.

Federal regulators have approved three new fracking jobs off the California coast, more than previously known.
The revelation comes as the California Coastal Commission meets Wednesday to discuss hydraulic fracturing, which pumps water, sand and chemicals deep into rock formations to free oil.
The federal government oversees fracking that occurs more than three miles off the coast. But commission staffers say the agency can review activities in federal waters.
The Associated Press last year documented at least a dozen instances of fracking in the Santa Barbara Channel, site of the disastrous 1969 oil platform blowout. The AP also found federal regulators approved a new project last March.
The federal agency in charge of offshore drilling says it has since approved three others. The oil industry insists the practice is safe.

From finger pointing to building confidence in Haiti
Waiting for a signal. Photo: Haiti's Tent City. Edyta Materka.
The first anniversary of Haiti's earthquake has seen a lot of finger pointing. The country's Prime Minister, Jean-Max Bellerive, faults the donors for failing to open the tap on promised funds. Others blame his government and the legions of NGOs and aid workers for not getting their act together.
As the recriminations reverberate, the bottom line is that ordinary Haitians—with 800,000 of them still living in temporary shelters—don't see much improvement in their lives. Many, it is reported, feel abandoned by both their government and the international community.
The Prime Minister recognizes things need to move faster and blames the donors who, he says, insist on funding things like education, infrastructure and transport. If the government had its way, the focus would be on clearing the rubble that still dominates the cityscape in the capital Port au Prince and other parts of the country, he says.
What to do to seize the initiative in a country which has known only trauma and deceptions for the past many decades?
There's no right answer but actions that build confidence would be a big first step. This finding from research for the 2011 WDR—which looks at violence, security and development—certainly resonates in Haiti.

Stephen Swan necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 190 diseños de 59 diseñadores freelance.
BlackSwan Real Estate Partners
We are a start-up commercial real estate firm but NOT focused on brokerage. Asset management, acquisition, and investment are focus. Black Swan is family name, but also shares the connotations with "ugly duckling to swan", Black Swan Theory (Nassim Taleb) of seismic economic events. Asset types will be large transactions for hotels, apartment complexes, retail centers, etc. Not single family homes.
We will market our services to owners of commercial real estate owners. These will consist mainly of banks, life insurance companies, and family trusts. The logo needs to convey a sense of comfort that BlackSwan (one word with 'b' and 's' capitalized) will be a safe steward for your asset and/or cash. We will also be seeking investment dollars from individuals. These are companies and/or individuals used to formality. In many cases, these will be companies looking to farm out management of an asset and they will want a "safe" choice.
The logo should be formal, but not overly so. We have chosen to use the last name of one of the principals (Swan) for BlackSwan and we obviously want to brand off of it. I would prefer black & white logos.
We don't want to set many limits because we recognize that we are not the experts here. We want to review all of the creativity out there.
we will want files in high res .jpg, .ai, and .psd.
No clip art or stock art please.

The Cowboys Are Rolling Now
If you aren't sold on Jason Garrett as the head coach I'm not quite sure what it is going to take to convince you that he is the real deal. We just saw the team that lost to Green Bay 45-7 just four weeks ago beat the Colts on the road without Tony Romo running the offense. And they have now won three out of four games since Garrett took over with two of those wins coming against probable playoff teams. And it isn't like the Saints beat them by much either in Garrett's only loss as a head coach.
The most impressive part of the game to me was the play of Sean Lee. His two interceptions were game changers and he was all over the field making tackles. His development has been a little slow but he stepped up when the defense needed him the most with Brooking hobbled by a sprained foot. Now that Lee has finally established himself on defense he needs to stay healthy a put a few good games together to prove to the team that he can be counted on as a long term answer on defense.
Peyton Manning did throw for 365 yards but the secondary did a pretty good job throughout the game considering that Manning threw the ball 48 times. You can take a guy throwing for 365 yards if you can get four interceptions and return two for touchdowns against him. Mike Jenkins did get beat for a touchdown but he played pretty well overall. He contested most of the throws to Reggie Wayne and he made the biggest play of the game when he tipped the pass to Sean Lee in overtime. Reggie Wayne did pile up some pretty impressive stats against Jenkins, but it wasn't like Jenkins was getting burned all over the field. Orlando Scandrick made a great play to intercept a pass and return it for a touchdown early in the game but he missed the second half of the game after suffering a concussion. Even Alan Ball did a nice job intercepting a deep pass intended for Reggie Wayne.
The run defense was very good but I think part of that was due to the poor offensive line play of the Colts offense. Holding an offense to under 50 rushing yards impressive regardless of the circumstances though. You have to give them credit for stuffing the run enough that the Colts gave up on it.
On offense the Cowboys were inconsistent just as they have been with Kitna running the offense. But you have to give Kitna credit for making the plays that had to be made to win the game. The touchdown pass to Witten late in the game appeared to be his third read on the play and he made a great throw to keep the ball away from the defender trailing Witten. The pass to Roy Williams for the two point conversion was huge as well.
The running game was great during the first quarter and on the drive for the lead in the fourth quarter. You have to be impressed by the play of Tashard Choice now that he finally got his shot to play this year. But keep in mind he does have fresh legs compared to the rest of the guys out there so hopefully this game isn't a mirage like Julius Jones' second half of his rookie season. You have to wonder if Marion Barber has played his last down as a Dallas Cowboy after watching Choice rack up over 100 yards.
The special teams won the game but almost lost it at the same time. The Colts blocked a punt a recovered it for a touchdown in the 4th quarter. Four weeks ago this team would have folded. But Buehler made the big kick to win the game in overtime. He was 3 for 4 for the day. And you have to give Buehler credit for hitting the pressure kick with the game on the line. He has a long way to go if he wants to come back as the kicker next season but he is improving.
A win is always nice but it was bittersweet on many levels. Dez Bryant is out for the year after breaking his ankle on a kick return. And even winning 3 out of the last 4 games has only improved the Cowboys record to a less embarrassing 4-8. And really 4-8 is still horrible but a huge improvement after a 1-7 start. But even with a 4-8 record the world just seems like a better place when the Cowboys win.

I don't want to play spoiler of debby-downer, but as I mentioned before, our problems were not necessarily of talent but motivation. Jason Garrett has fixed this issue and has this team playing with heart, which is something you could not have said weeks one through nine. As more and more information is being put together, we see that Jason Garrett has changed his demeanor as a HC. As we've heard, he gives some of the most inspiring speeches (coming from Troy Aikman, Joe Buck, Kitna, Romo, and the list goes on), has a no-nonsense approach (like Jimmy Johnson, which is not surprising because they speak on a weekly basis), and he has the potential to stand up for J.J. because he has been in the organization for almost 20 years and he has been hand-picked (and J.J. can't see him fail).ReplyDelete
My problem with Garrett is as an O.C. I won't regurgitate this information, but he should not be doing both duties. (Norv Turner may be getting fired this year if the Chiefs win the division, could be promising; also consider Reeves wanting some role in the organization (management) that was almost finalized last year). If we can play this the right way (again, my perfect but somewhat realistic scenario), we could be much better with Garrett as the head coach.
I think this will be one of the more interesting off-seasons in years for the Cowboys, especially with the CBA looming. The way we handle the draft, free agents, retention, and coaching staff will really impact the Cowboys for the next decade I believe. Window of opportunity is closing and it is imperative that Jerry and Jason make the rights moves, and not get complacent because a few wins at the end of the season. It would be alarming, at least to me, for all of us to forget how absolutely sickening the first half of the season was. These victories are important and they showcase the level of talent we have, but we should not get overly excited and buy into this team again to win it all next year just yet.

Great game. It was the intense battle it was supposed to be. Don't really want to go into too much detail on what needs to improve and etc. etc. Just bask in the glory of the cowboys over the colts.ReplyDelete
I honestly hate D. Buehler. But if we can get a good draft for another position then that is fine. Like a couple of good linemen. Or a great running back like wes welker.
And a thought to fellow fans. Romo vs. Kitna. Kitna is the past and Romo is the future. Quit rooting for Kitna to take over main QB position. He's a good back up but he's too old to be the future of this team like Romo.

There is one hell of a kicker out of Nebraska that I think is coming out this next draft. He is probably one of the best kickers I've seen in college football. I wouldn't be surprised if he picked up as early as the third round.ReplyDelete
Peterson LSU CB/Amukamara (both will probably be taken before we get around to pick)
Doesn't look like any stellar FS are coming out.
DT is a need in the later rounds to relieve Ratliff. OL obviously.
I know it's a little too soon to look forward to April, but I think as fans we have to start pressing action. I admire this blog because few are as successful and most do not offer as much insight as you do.
Also, if you have time, check out:
It gives a list of upcoming free agents/draft.
Keep doing what you're doing, and I have to admit it is quite nice not being laughed out of a bar. I live in D.C. (unfortunately, trying to move back to Dallas) and it's been brutal this season.
WBF- I agree completely with what you said about Kitna, but I think you meant Woodhead as RB and I think we have that in Choice. I'm a huge OU fan and I was upset when he left to play in the SEC, but he is a beast. Have Barber bulk up again and restrict him to the fourth quarter when we have leads (if we still want to keep him). Let Felix and Choice tear it up the first 3/4ths of the game.

Great Blog, keep it up!ReplyDelete
To add to what other have said about the future; I hope we use our great draft position and make the most of this unqiue opportunity. Most teams with this level of talent don't get to draft inside the top 15, which is where we will most likely pick. We need to spend either a 1st rounder or a 2nd rounder on the OL. We are very lucky with Free playing like a franchise left tackle, but we need to draft either a guard or right tackle for the future. Our current line can work for next year but we need a guy, like Free, who can come in for an injured Colombo or Kosier and play not only well but good enough to take the starting job.
I wish the safeties of last year's draft were coming out this year. Think about how good our Defense would be if we had a ball hawking safety. Ball and Sensebaugh are good, but Ball should be a backup, not a starter. It doesn't appear that there will be any elite safeties coming out of the draft so if we have a chance to get one of the top 2 corners in the first round that would be ideal, if not we should use it on a lineman. Then in the later rounds we can try and strike gold with a safety.
We need to get rid of barber, I have been saying that since Choice made his rookie debut against the Steelers. We need to use Felix like they are starting to use him in recent weeks and use Choice as they did against the Colts. Then as for a 3rd RB we can just use a young guy, we don't need to waste cap room with barber as a number 3 RB. With Barber's current contract and age I'm not sure what trade value he has but I would gladly see him go for a 3rd or early 4th round pick. Or sometimes you can get great value if you trade a player for a pick in the next year's draft. So for example maybe we could get a 2nd round pick in the 2012 draft for Barber, doesn't help the team next year but we are already stacked at RB.
Anyway, just some of my thoughts. Again, great blog!

ASK Good post as well and appreciate the confirmation. I also enjoy chatting back and forth with you on here. I know you disagree with the F.Jones point i'm going to make in a minute :D.ReplyDelete
I've gotta say I don't want to see Barber go. He's too beasty on short gains. But his injuries do concern me so here I sit on the fence. If he goes then I would like for a draft to not be wasted replacing him. A very rookie RB will work for polish.
I have to say I really really don't like F. Jones. He is good on the outside but he never makes it through the pockets. Especially when it counts.
I think we should keep all 3 of them for now though.
I mean f. Jones and Buehler have something in common. You can't count on them to make the play. You want to see more running plays (i like passes personally I say play your strengths again and again on here) then get someone that can consistently pull the yards off and not pull -1 yard in a game.

The idea of nuclear radiation affecting beings in terrifying ways isn't limited to creative thinkers in Japan. Americans also have dabbled with their own mythologies over the years. Oversized insects and animals abound, along with superheroes — and super villains. Here are our favorite five; how many of them do you know?
1: "Them!": 1954 Warner Bros. film about gigantic ants discovered in the New Mexico desert that have become giants due to radiation. It was the first "big bug" movie and one of the first "nuclear monster" films in the 1950s. It won a Golden Reel Award for best sound editing.
2: "Attack of the Giant Leeches": 1959 American International Pictures film about leeches mutated by radiation that has not only made them huge, but also intelligent. The creatures capture people, drag them to their underwater cave in the Florida Everglades and slowly drain them of their blood. The film was shot in eight days, with the outdoor sequences filmed at the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden in Arcadia. Brain Damage Films released a remake in 2012.
3: Spider-Man: The original Marvel Comics superhero was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko and first appeared in "Amazing Fantasy" No. 15 in August 1962. When New York high school student Peter Parker is bitten by a radioactive spider at a science exhibit, he receives its agility, proportionate strength and the ability to cling to walls. He makes gadgets to enhance his talents, along with a costume, and creates a splash on television. The murder of his Uncle Ben sparks Parker to become Spider-Man and fight crime.
4: Radioactive Man: This moniker is used by two Marvel Comics villains, Chen Lu and Igor Stancheck. Lu is a nuclear physicist and a Chinese Communist agent who exposes himself to radiation in order to be strong enough to defeat Thor. He then plans to take over the world. He is bright green and can emit "hard" radiation and hypnotic light, as well as absorb radiation and convert it into energy for other uses. He has appeared primarily in the Avengers and Iron Man comic book series. Stancheck has little background other than being Russian and has all the same attributes as Lu. He first appeared in the fourth volume of the "Black Panther" comic book series.
5: Theodore Sprague: One of the characters in the NBC series "Heroes." Sprague, played by Matthew John Armstrong, has the ability to generate and manipulate radiation. Unlike most radioactive characters, he appears to have been born with this talent and must learn to control it. At one point, he inadvertently kills his wife by giving her radiation poisoning. In the graphic novels based on the series, Sprague's mother was a company agent working at the Three Mile Island nuclear plant who had the ability to absorb and redirect any kind of energy.

Karnak is a village located in central Egypt, on the Nile. It is 1.6 km NE of Luxor and occupies part of the site of Thebes. Remains of the pharaohs abound at Karnak. Most notable is the Great Temple of Amon. Although there was an older foundation, the temple was largely conceived and accomplished in the XVIII dynasty, and it is often considered the finest example of New Empire religious architecture. The temple grounds extend about 300 m. The western half comprises a vast court and the great hypostyle hall (118m x 52m), with 134 columns arranged in 16 rows. The eastern half is a complex of halls and shrines, many of the Middle Kingdom. There are smaller temples at Karnak dedicated to Mut and to Khensu, wife and son respectively of Amon.
Part of the Holy Land, Egypt offers a fascinating mixture of ancient pyramids, temples and other religious monuments. There are numerous possibilities to explore Egypt from desert treks to trips down the Nile or scuba diving in the Red Sea and along the Sinai coast. Cairo, which means "The Triumphant", is home to the pyramids, sphinx and over 17 million residents within its metropolitan area. Luxor is often described as the world's largest open air museum, built on the ancient city of Thebes. The Karnak temple complex, located near Luxor, is a collection of ancient temples, chapels and various other buildings.

HMX needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 144 designs submitted by 54 freelance designers.
Exaro Energy
Exaro Energy is a firm engaged in oil and natural gas acquisition, exploration, and production throughout the United States and the Gulf of Mexico.
Mostly CEOs and high level management of companies like Shell, Exxon, BP, Texaco etc.
Simplicity works. The logo should be a clean symbol that is easily reproducible. Stay away from logos that contain a lot of information, gradation or fine details; these will be more difficult for people to recall.
Use color as an embellishment. The well-designed logo should look good in black. That doesn't mean you can't use color, but the color itself should not be relied on as the major design element.
The winning logo will project a professional, dependable and very strong image. It should contain the name of our company Exaro Energy. Feel free to use "exaro" as the more prominent of the two words.
Last word of advice. "Brandable" logos are scalable, memorable and meaningful. If people can't remember what your logo looks like, they won't remember your brand.
We look forward to your designs!

Hollywood's finest came out for a dazzling night at the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards. The beauty and glamor of the red carpet was blinding and inspiring. The color palette was everything from rich to light pastels. It's just enough to inspire your luxury swimwear wardrobe. Celebrities posed and did the cat walk as the anxious paparazzi waited for the arrival of the starlets. Everyone had their camera ready for the money shots.
January 27th is a night that's both exiting and nail bitting for some stars and starlets. It's the foreshadow to Oscar night (February 24th). Who will ge the nod and who won't is a big deal. Regardless, the SAG's are a place for designer showcase galore. Beautiful gowns draped on A-list stars, diamonds, pearls and let's not start talking about the shoes!
The SAG Awards also recognize awards for film and TV. With that said, it's exciting to hear that one of the nominees happens to be The Dark Knight Rises! No wonder I was seeing a lot of black on the red carpet. Designer swimwear can gain some spunk at the beach using black as a base. Many ladies were this Dark Knight color from Jaimie Alexander, Michelle Dockery to Tinay Fey. When it came to the gentlemen, Daniel Day Lewis Bradley Cooper and Darren Chris were all dapper in black.
Find the mystery of the Screen Actors Awards in black luxury swimwear. You can get it in Truly, Madly, Deeply this bikini is the ultimate feline seduction. Think Anne Hathaway's fierce character playing Selina to to Bruce Wayne! This designer swimwear has light gold hardware that hold up the sliding triangle top around the neck. The low rise, moderate, bottoms are fully lined with a shirred center back.
*Anne Hathaway just accepted the award for outstanding female actor in a supporting role for "Les Miserables". You go girl!

Olli Moleyby Dave Uhrmacher / Pittsburgh Penguins
Olli Maatta's superb defensive skill has been on display since the puck dropped in the Penguins regular-season opener on Oct. 3. On Saturday afternoon, it was Maatta's scoring touch that lifted him into the spotlight.
Maatta, 19, notched his first-career NHL goal at 13:12 of the third period, and it could not have come at a better time.
Just seconds after a Zack Kassian tally gave Vancouver a one-goal advantage, Maatta joined a three-on-two rush with none other than forwards Sidney Crosby and Chris Kunitz.
Crosby entered the zone along the right wall as Maatta joined the rush without hesitation and split the Canucks defensive pair on a 'center drive.' Crosby dished to Kunitz on the opposite wall and the forward quickly fired a shot on net. Vancouver goaltender Roberto Luongo was unable to corral the quick wrist shot from Kunitz and Maatta was there to clean up the rebound, sliding the puck around the outstretched pad of Luongo and knotting the game at 3-3.
Maatta looked more like a seasoned-veteran forward on the rush with Crosby and Kunitz, having the wherewithal to drive to the net, keep the blade of his stick on the ice and be in a position to slam any rebound opportunity home.
"It was the right play," Crosby said. "It's always fun to see a guy score their first goal. That never gets old. Seeing the joy and how happy he was, it was pretty cool. And it was a big goal for us, too."
Maatta, who was congratulated by owner Mario Lemieux and a host of others in the locker room, said jumping into the rush is something he likes doing.
"It was a three-on-two and when you have that you are just trying to rush, that is part of being a defenseman," a smiling Maatta said after the game. "It was a good play, a good three-on-two by (Crosby) and (Kunitz) and I just tapped it in."
The Finnish product earned a roster spot out of camp with his smooth skating and responsible defensive skills and continues to make a case that he deserves to stay at the NHL level.
"I feel like every game I have gotten more confident and comfortable out there," Maatta said. "Today, I felt good."
After playing in his eighth-straight game on Saturday, the Penguins will be forced to make a decision after the next contest Maatta plays. If Maatta plays in more than nine games this season with Pittsburgh, the first year of his entry-level contract kicks in.
Maatta can be returned to his junior team – the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League – at any time after the 10 games, but he will be under contract for one less year. And if he is returned to London, he cannot be brought back to Pittsburgh.
So the Penguins must decided whether or not to keep Maatta on their NHL roster beyond his nine-game window.
Head coach Dan Bylsma told media prior to the game that "no decision has been made" yet on Maatta's status with the Penguins.
Bylsma said postgame the play by Maatta wasn't the first time he showed the smarts to join the rush, citing the crossbar he hit on an odd-man rush in the first period.
"It was a big point in the game," Bylsma said. "We got a great play on the wall by (Crosby) and turned it into an odd-man situation with him jumping up into the play there. Fortunately for us, he gets a second chance at the net, going to the cage there and gets a huge goal for us."
