Immigration reform—including a bill that would confer citizenship on 11 million people—somehow busted its way out of the US Senate yesterday, winning 68-32 with 14 Republican "ayes." The The House, meanwhile, remains in the grip of conservative zealots who are refusing, so far, to take up the landmark legislative package. That might work, until the billionaires who fund Republican Party campaigns tell them otherwise.
Leaks about Stuxnet, the computer virus that famously messed with Iran's nuclear program, have led to an investigation of a Marine general who was once the second-highest-ranking military officer in America. At least he's not a journalist.

The announcement of these tours will put added pressure on a calendar in which supply is starting to outweigh demand. These shows will be competing with Livid, Austereo's M1 and Rumba, John Farnham, Kylie Minogue, Jamiroquai, the Big Day Out, the Falls Festival, Welcome 2003, Summadayze, the Melbourne International Music and Blues Festival, and tours by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam and Santana.
Some artists from Byron Bay's East Coast Blues and Roots Festival, including Shane MacGowan and the Popes and Ike Turner & The Kings Of Rhythm, are also expected to make the journey to Melbourne around Easter.
While Pearl Jam has sold out two Rod Laver Arenas, tickets for M1, the postponed Paul McCartney show, and this Sunday's Red Hot Chili Peppers concert at Telstra Dome have sold below expectations.
The Big Day Out's Vivian Lees said: "It's huge, the market's never been this big".

Eight-thousand miles away but emotionally next door to Orange County is a country where tolerance is unexpectedly gaining a foothold.
After being condemned by human rights activists, Vietnam is coming out of the closet. Same-sex wedding ceremonies were legalized last month. Some believe that same-sex marriage will follow.
Yet in our county, which prides itself on being home to tens of thousands of Vietnamese, some still cling to the belief that intolerance is somehow better than tolerance.
I suspect that would leave two women, Le Thuy Linh and Tran Ngoc Diem Hang, scratching their heads.

With a parade permit under consideration Wednesday night by Westminster City Council, it is no small irony that the LBGT community appears headed for exclusion from the Tet parade for the second year in a row.
Consider that many Vietnamese fled to America because of their courageous commitment to freedom.
A number of years ago, I had the honor to be the editor of a series investigating 150 so-called "re-education camps" that were built in Vietnam after the fall of Saigon. Called "Camp Z30-D," the stories detailed atrocity after atrocity:
• An estimated 1 million people were imprisoned without formal charges or trials.
• 165,000 people died.
• Thousands were abused, their hands and legs shackled, their skin slashed by bamboo canes. Some reportedly were injected with poisonous chemicals.
• Most prisoners were incarcerated three to 10 years. Some were imprisoned for as long as 17 years.
Today, the camps are closed. But challenges remain. Human Rights Watch declares of Vietnam: "The criminal justice system lacks independence and operates under the direction of the government and party. Religious activists are harassed, intimidated and imprisoned."
The rights organization adds, "The government suppresses virtually all forms of political dissent using a broad array of repressive measures. Freedom of expression, association, and public assembly are tightly controlled."
Fortunately, we live in a country where things like that don't happen. Right?
The answer is surprisingly complex.
• • •
There's a saying: "Everyone loves a parade." But let's face it, that doesn't mean everyone loves every parade.
When Nazis decided to march in Skokie, Ill., nearly four decades ago, most of the townspeople hated the idea. Still, the courts ruled a swastika was free speech and the march by the National Socialist Party of America went on in Chicago.
Tolerance doesn't mean only tolerating (non-violent) people you like.
For several years, a collection of organizations called the Partnership of Vietnamese-American Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning – and I'll admit I struggle with some of the words – was part of the main Tet parade in Little Saigon.
But last year, the group was nixed by the parade sponsor, the Vietnamese American Federation of Southern California. A court battle ensued. The parade organizer won, with the judge ruling that a private organization had the right to exclude the LGBT group.
I understand the legal standing. A private parade, after all, is a private parade. If the LGBT community wanted to march with the Nazis, I'm sure they would have been jack-booted – legally.
Similarly, if Nazis want to join this year's Tet parade, I'm sure they'd be banned. Hate, like tolerance, is a choice.
But according to the American Psychological Association, sexuality isn't a choice but an orientation.
And that's where intolerance ends and tolerance begins.
• • •
I called parade organizer Neil Nguyen for more than two weeks for his take on Vietnam relaxing its attitudes about same-sex weddings as well as to explore the deeper meaning behind the parade.
Nguyen chose not to return my phone calls. Still, let's hear his side. Of the LGBT community after the court ruling last spring, Nguyen said, "Our culture is based on family values, men and women, husband and wife, God and people. We don't want the public to think that we support that way of life."
"We do respect (gays). But that type of life is not accepted yet in our culture."
But Nguyen and his organization appear to be out of step with evolving Vietnamese culture.
In Hanoi on Oct. 27, Linh, Hang and a gay couple, Ho Hai and Pham Tien Dung, boldly stood before a flash mob, had public weddings and sealed the deals with kisses.
No one was arrested.
In allowing same-sex ceremonies, Vietnam's Justice Minister Ha Hung Cuong called for a "gradual transition" toward marriage equality, Radio Free Asia reported.
Now let's review the federation's vote on including an LGBT group – made before even a permit was granted: 47 against, 21 for, 7 abstentions.
The sad thing is that by excluding equality from this year's Tet parade, the federation has turned the spotlight away from a celebration of culture and focused it on intolerance.
Consider that a simple Web search for Nguyen's federation and "Tet parade" finds the first page of links entirely devoted to the LGBT controversy.
• • •
Hieu Nguyen is a resident of Garden Grove, a 29-year-old social worker and co-chair of Viet Rainbow of Orange County, a pro-LGBT group.
He also has the support of family. But that did not come easy.
For many families with long and deep roots in our land of freedom, discovering that a child is gay is rarely a cause for celebration. For many immigrant families, concerns about safety and stigma run deeper.
"Within ethnic minority communities," Hieu Nguyen explains, "there's additional components that may be cultural such as not dishonoring the family.
The vote by the federation only reinforces that stigma.
Viet Rainbow's reasons for wanting to participate in the parade, according to Hieu Nguyen, are simple: "We love our community; that's why we want to be visible."
His reaction to exclusion is equally simple and profound: "It goes beyond anger; it's really saddening."
I asked Hieu Nguyen his thoughts on the federation's vote.
He quietly told me, "It's completely mind boggling that they would have a vote without sitting down with us and even before applying and being granted the permit for the parade."
Why not simply join the parade in another capacity and not fly rainbow colors?
"I grew up here in America," Hieu Nguyen says. "There's a fire within us to speak up and not be invisible."
A fire fueled by freedom.

If you were in the group that camped at the peninsula site at Upper Granite Lake maybe 2 weekends ago and left THIS there, you should be ashamed of yourselves! And you should march back up there and pick it up. You literally could not walk into the campsite without seeing human crap. WTF!? Seriously disgusting, selfish, and pathetic. Given the location and its unique fishery, you embarrass me that we share the common description of highlakes angler. Other than that, our trip was incredible.

Now that I have had a few hours of distance from yesterday, I feel like I should write about it. Friends and I met at Altamont Orchard early yesterday morning: five adults and one teen in four vehicles. We had a trailer with a John Deere, a generator and a pump, along with other tools.
After some arranging, we got the address for the house of a friend of a friend and caravanned over. We had seen some swollen rivers and creeks on the way into town, but we were not prepared for what we saw when we drove into Schoharie. In front of every home was a pile of furniture, everything from the first floor of each house. We could see the water line on the sides of the buildings and the tree trunks. We passed fields where balers and harvesters were piled against bushes and fences. At one point we saw a big backhoe gathering up the trash on the side of the road and dumping it into a dump truck. It was utter devastation.
We pulled up in front of the house and waited for the owners to arrive. We found a kitty that looked very sad and lonely. Butch had a can of dog food and the cat didn't seem to mind the difference. I posted his picture and location on the Schoharie site in hopes that people who were worried about the little guy would see where he was.
The home owners arrived and we all introduced ourselves. We also met Chris, a man from a local town who had helped the day before. He had never met the family; he just saw the devastation and wanted to help. The first walk through of the home left me pretty shaken, and they had worked on it the entire day before. Floorboards had buckled and there was mud in all the cracks. We started taking out the furniture that the family hoped to save, loading it into Chris's trailer to take to a friend's barn. We were all thankful for each other, as the lovely wood pieces were so heavy I don't think that, had everyone not been there, I don't know how we would have managed.
I tried to be cheery and helpful when I could. The homeowners were obviously shell shocked, and I felt that even though we were doing everything we could, there was still so much more.
After hours of work, a trip to the barn, and several trips to the curb with trash, we finished with the first house. One of the women who helped said that her house was down the street and she hadn't done anything with it yet. We went to her house next.
There was a thick layer of silty mud covering the floor and it was slick as ice. We helped her to triage the contents and started emptying her house.
We finished her house, feeling proud that we had helped while at the same time feeling like we barely made a dent in the damage there. As we packed up to head home, people drove by offering hot cheeseburgers and pizza. We drove out the other end of town and then through Middleburgh. At every home, we wanted to stop and help, though we were so tired we wouldn't have been of much use. The destruction was everywhere.
It is hard to tell others what the day was like. There were so many people there to help and so many donations that there was a lot of hope, but at the same time the photos did no justice when compared to what it was like to be there, what it was like to see looks on the faces of people who lost so much. I am glad I went. I am glad I was able to do something, some small thing to help. I am glad for Facebook, so that I can keep in touch with the people I met yesterday. People who I know think of as friends the way only hard work after disaster can. I hope the families we helped know that they can always call on us for anything. I hope I keep in touch with them and can continue to help.

Alfred Kropp is your typical misfit teen, just like you are (or were), except for being the last descendant of Lancelot and the secret weapon of an international spy organization out to save the world from paranormal terrors. Alfred can put up with being hassled by other kids, but he hates being bored. So, being kidnapped, pushed out of a plane, and looking into the eyes of a demon to save the world from destruction, or worse, has it's upside…it isn't dull. From official release/information:
Book Description: Thousands of years ago, King Solomon used a powerful ring, known as the Great Seal, to imprison the fallen angels of heaven in a sacred vessel. Now both the ring and the vessel have been stolen from OIPEP by a double-crossing Mike Arnold. Should Mike choose to wield the demons' power, all hell could break lose . . . literally. Led by the mysterious Op-Nine, OIPEP has a plan to retrieve the artifacts, and their success depends on the least likely candidate, none other than the last descendant of Lancelot, Alfred Kropp. In this thrilling new adventure, author Rick Yancey proves once again that Alfred Kropp's unlikely role as a world-saving hero is definitely no accident.

Philadelphia Man Convicted of Insider Trading
|U.S. Attorney's Office November 15, 2012
PHILADELPHIA—Timothy McGee, 48, of Philadelphia, was convicted today of one count of securities fraud and one count of perjury in a case of insider trading, announced United States Attorney Zane David Memeger. Between July 14, 2008 and July 22, 2008, McGee purchased shares of a publicly traded company based on non-public information he received from a fellow member of Alcoholics Anonymous immediately following a meeting the two had attended together.
An executive with Philadelphia Consolidated Holding Corporation ("PHLY"), an insurance company based in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, whose shares were publicly traded on the NASDAQ, told McGee that the company was in discussions with a potential acquirer. McGee owed the PHLY executive fiduciary and other duties of trust and confidence stemming from their decade-long relationship forged over the bond of their mutual membership in Alcoholics Anonymous. The charges alleged that McGee understood the information was confidential and that he could not seek to use it for his personal gain but violated his position of trust and confidence by trading on the basis of the confidential information the executive shared with him.
In the week following the executive's disclosure, McGee purchased 10,250 shares of PHLY stock for less than $39 per share. The day after McGee made his final purchase of PHLY stock, PHLY announced that it would be acquired by Tokio Marine, a Japanese insurer, in a cash deal by which PHLY shareholders would receive $61.50 per share of PHLY stock. Just days following the public announcement of the merger, McGee sold 4,750 shares of PHLY stock for $58.50 per share; upon the merger's consummation on December 1, 2008, McGee received $61.50 per share for his remaining PHLY shares. In all, McGee netted personal profits of approximately $292,000 from his unlawful PHLY trades.
In addition to trading on the basis of the material non-public information, McGee also tipped a friend to buy PHLY stock, resulting in that friend immediately purchasing shares of PHLY stock in his and his family members' brokerage accounts.
On September 16, 2009, McGee testified under oath before the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in connection with the SEC's investigation into insider trading in the shares of PHLY. McGee willfully lied during that sworn testimony, claiming that when he purchased the PHLY shares in July 2008 he was unaware of any information regarding PHLY's impending merger or any information at all that might affect PHLY's stock price.
U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Savage scheduled sentencing for February 20, 2013. McGee faces a maximum sentence of 25 years' imprisonment, a three-year term of supervised release, a $5.25 million fine, and a $200 special assessment.
The SEC has filed a related civil action against McGee and other defendants, which is currently pending before the Honorable R. Barclay Surrick in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Frank Costello.

Wrangler has gone above and beyond to deliver what women want.
The denim brand claims to have pioneered a line of perfectly flattering jeans that also moisturise the skin and potentially reduce cellulite.
Lizzie Jagger, daughter of Jerry Hall and Mick Jagger, is the face of the Denim Spa collection, set to launch with skinny-leg styles in three finishes: Olive Extract – a classic blue wash that tones and moisturises; Aloe Vera – a lighter wash that soothes sensitive skin; and Smooth Legs – the super-jeans that are claimed to improve the overall appearance of legs by minimising cellulite.
So, how does it work? During the manufacturing process, the jeans are sprayed with microcapsules of high-performance skincare, including natural moisturisers like rosehip oil and shea butter, as well as ingredients such as algae extracts, retinol and caffeine, which are claimed to help fight cellulite. Heat is then applied to bind the ingredients to the fibres and ensure they remain effective for up to 15 days. Those wanting to reap the benefits long-term will need to purchase the reload spray, which extends the effective wear time to up to 95 days.
Sound too good to be true? Permitting outfit repetition, clinical testing undergone by France's Institut Adriant found that 69 per cent of participants noticed the beneficial effects of Smooth Legs after wearing them full-time for four weeks (eight hours a day, five days a week).
If you're thinking Wrangler has answered all your prayers, you can purchase the Molly Skinny Jeans with Olive Extract from ASOS now.
Update: The Aloe Vera style will be available from the 24th of January. Smooth Legs will launch the week after, on the 4th of February.
We predict a sellout.

|Various Artists - "Blue Crush" Soundtrack
|Music Disc Reviews Audio CD
|Written by Dan MacIntosh
|Tuesday, 13 August 2002
To put it bluntly, "Blue Crush" is a movie about chick surfers, so one might rightly expect to hear plenty of songs about surfing, chicks, or even surfing chicks on its soundtrack disc. But these 11 songs end up having little at all to do with this movie's uncomplicated plot. It is, instead, a collection of mostly emerging artists, all crammed onto one CD, and the only wave it seemingly wants to catch is a swelling upward sales curve.
A cover of Bananarama's "Cruel Summer" by Blestenation (retitled the "Blestenation Mix" here) is about as close as this landlocked release ever gets to coastal fun-in-the-sun soundtrack music. Much like Puff Daddy (or whatever he happens to call himself these days), this hip-hop outfit mostly raps over the original British girl group recording, with little else changed of the track. Then there's "Party Hard" by Beenie Man -- which is much more serious than fun -- that rolls to a modified reggae beat. Its subject matter is exactly what is suggested by the title, although one hardly needs surf and sand to party this hard. It would have been a far better fit as the block party anthem for an urban flick, instead.
Rather than stocking this disc with sounds that are easily categorized as obvious beach music, Blue Crush contains more than a few variations on reggae beats. Chicken's "Big Love" is nice and smooth lovers' reggae, while Damian Marley updates his dad's "Could You Be Loved?" as "And Be Loved," with samples from his father's original as the foundations for his entreating rap.
Many musical references to old school soul also run their way through quite a few of these tracks. Nikka Costa's "Everybody Got Their Something" is slinky funk, with a percolating, Stevie Wonder-inspired groove that is punctuated by lightly sprinkled Al Green-esque horns at track's end. Playgroup's "Front 2 Back (Fatboy Slim Remix)" is a direct descendant of Earth, Wind & Fire's "Let's Groove Tonight," and is simply all about dancing and having fun.
Lenny Kravitz is the only big name on this collection, and his "If I Could Fall In Love" sounds like about a million other Kravitz tracks. "If Only He Could Find A New Sound" is much more like it.
A few of the remaining tracks on this disc are as severely out of place as people walking along the beach in formal attire. They include Beth Orton's sly, come-hither vocal over slightly techno backing on "Daybreaker" and Dove's dirge-y and ominous-sounding instrumental, "Firesuite."
This album would have been a mildly enjoyable sampling of a few talented artists, had it not smacked so strongly of commercial tie-in. Listeners are advised to surf through these tracks -- to pick out the few good waves – and then just let the rest roll back to the bottom of the sea.

Here's an off-topic post for you. I can't live without my TiVo, but it's been quite a long while since I've used TiVo Desktop to transfer shows to my PC. Somewhere along the way I uninstalled TiVo Desktop, certainly before I upgraded to Windows 7.
The new TV season and some of the great shows we're saving has filled up the TiVo, so it was time to fire up TiVo Desktop to move some things off into storage. Alas, after installing it, I was getting errors like "Access is denied" and other cantankerousness. I knew my Media Access Key (MAK) was right because I was copying it right from the TiVo My Account page.
I finally got things up and running, and I think the thing that did it was a nice little command line utility from TiVo called the TiVo Desktop Cleaner utility. You can read about it here. This little wonder truly uninstalls every last bit of the TiVo Desktop, including the Windows registry settings, and lets you start from scratch. Once I ran it and reinstalled TiVo Desktop 2.7, I was back in business. Dollhouse "Belle Chose" is on it's way to my laptop as I type. (No ,my wife doesn't like Dollhouse; it's one of *my* guilty pleasures.)

Today was my last day of skiing for the week, and it would be a big one. I scouted out the Round Valley area conditions two days prior, and I wanted to link up the summits of Castle Peak and Basin before I left. I left the Boreal Ski Resort lot at 8:30, my feet a little more sore and blistered than the last time. The trail was well cut, now, and so I cruised up way faster than the last time. It took me a tad over an hour to get to Castle Pass, and from there I proceeded straight up Castle Peak.
The climb was steep enough that my skins lost traction and I slid backwards at times. I made it to the top, though, or at least as far as I could wearing my skis. The views toward the West shore of Lake Tahoe were spectacular. I could see ridge after ridge of craggy peak all the way down to somewhere near Carson Pass. More importantly, I could see the line I wanted to take over to Basin Peak. Basin Peak and Castle form a ridge over Round Valley. The top of the ridge was wind-scoured and rocky, not fit for skis, so I needed to traverse the bowl to the left of the ridge itself. The plan was to stay as high up as possible in order to minimize the climbing I would need to do up to Basin Peak.
I pulled the skins off and jumped into the bowl, resisting the urge to cut turns through the powder into Round Valley. About two-thirds of the way over to Basin, I stopped and ate the salad I had packed for lunch. Blank white slopes surrounded me, and off in the distance cliffs and trees dotted the landscape. I put on the skins again and climbed the rest of the way up. I stopped about thirty feet from the summit. My skis lost their grip on the steep ice, and I decided a second attempt at those last few inches wasn't worth the trouble.
Basin Peak is probably the best place in the area to view Castle Peak. Its views into Coon Canyon and Round Valley also could not be beat. The peak is a lot less-travelled than its neighbor, Castle Peak, and so hitting long swaths of untracked snow is much easier than anywhere else in the area. Ski up Castle Peak if you're looking for a thrill. Ski up Basin Peak if you're looking for a wilderness experience. Of course, Basin has its share of good skiing as well.
After taking some pictures I removed the skins and put on my helmet. I aimed myself downward and pushed into the slopes. The first couple-hundred-feet were crusty and windswept, but after that, it was wet powder all the way down. I rolled into Round Valley, plopped myself down in the snow, and ate a second lunch of cheese and salami. Here, again, the views up toward Basin Peak and Castle Peak were fantastic.
On the way out of the valley, I ran into two guys, one a splitboarder and one a skier, and we hiked back up to Castle Pass together. They went on to climb Andesite Ridge, but I was done for the day. I skied and pushed my way back down the trail, and got back to Boreal around 2:30. The week's skiing was over, and my feet were dead, but I hit four peaks in three days, and I skied a whole lot of powder. I'd call this trip a success.

Updated at 7:00 PM
As I expected, right-hander Noah Syndergaard apologized today for the anti-gay slur he made on Twitter. During a conference call with New York media, he said:
"I had a little mishap on Twitter about a month ago, and it was just brought to the attention this morning," he said. "I'd just like to apologize for anything that was said. A buddy and I were having a little conversation. I had a poor attempt at humor and an even worse attempt at using a term I shouldn't have used. I hope I didn't offend anybody. I'm really sorry my first introduction to being a New York Met had to be like this."
That will hopefully be the last we hear of this.
Original Post 12:30 PM
I'm sure this not exactly how one of the newest Mets wanted to begin his foray into the New York market.
Noah Syndergaard, the pitching prospect included in the R.A. Dickey deal, was caught using an anti-gay slur on Twitter. The offending tweet was then deleted, but not before it made the rounds and infuriated many.
Andy Martino of the Daily News caught it and reports:
Righthanded pitcher Noah Syndergaard, 20, acquired along with catcher Travis d'Arnaud in the deal that sent the Cy Young Award winner to the Blue Jays, tweets from the account @Noahsyndergaard.
On Dec. 9, this tweet appeared from that account: "@DMarze89 nice crocs fag lol"
The tweet no longer appears on the timeline for the account.
Martino also reports that the Mets are now looking into the matter and that the full context of the tweet was not immediately clear.
I would imagine a public apology will be forthcoming.

I usually write a short commentary every week in this particular space. But I have decided instead to provide for you dear readers, what the band of 537 are providing us all with.
Hi. My name is Wax, and I am an individual, working class investor, just trying to do the best I can in a world that was never intended for investors like me.
Throughout the course of the week, I post a Daily Alert, which is my review of an individual equity. It is intended to help the reader decide if that particular equity is worth their time to research.
The other thing I do, is let the world watch as I manage the The Wax Ink Portfolio.

The following definitions have been provided to assist you in making responses to the Principles of Business Conduct/Conflict of Interest Form. They are for purposes of the form only and are not necessarily determinative of the question of whether a conflict of interest exists.
As used in this statement, "IEEE" means The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., and any company owned in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by it, including any specific project in which any such company is a participant.
As used in this statement, a member of your "immediate family" means your spouse and children, and the father, mother, sisters, and brothers of yourself and your spouse. You are not required to question members of your family for this statement. It is sufficient to give the facts as you know them or believe them to be.
As used in this statement, "financial interest" includes (except as stated below) any stock, bond, or other debt obligation, option, or right to purchase stock, share in profits, investment, partnership interest, or other proprietary interest of any nature.
Ownership of securities in a corporation shall not be deemed to constitute financial interest therein within the meaning of this questionnaire, if all the following conditions are met:
(a) the securities are traded on a national securities exchange, or regularly reported in over-the-counter quotations in the financial press;
(b) the securities owned by you and, to your knowledge or belief, owned by members of your immediate family do not exceed one-tenth of 1% of the outstanding securities of the same class of such corporation; and
(c) the market value of the securities, so owned, does not exceed 50% of your gross annual revenue.
"Financial interest" also includes employment and contractual relationships.
The individual would have a potential conflict of interest if they or an immediate family member were employed by Dell and/or had contractual relationships with IEEE for the provision of goods or services to IEEE (e.g., lease or purchase of PCs). In order to avoid the potential for a conflict of interest, the individual is advised to recuse themselves from (decline to participate in) any decision-making that involves Dell computers.
In answering this statement's questions, you should consider that you have Participated in a transaction on behalf of IEEE if you have acted directly or have recommended, directed, authorized, or approved the action of another who has acted for IEEE in the transaction, or if you have been involved in the selection or specification of the property purchased, sold, or leased or the services procured, even though you may not have been involved in the actual negotiation or transaction.
Example #1:
An employee or volunteer would be considered to have a potential conflict of interest if they participated in the process of selecting personal computers and an immediate family member's job responsibilities involve the sale of personal computers to IEEE.
Again, in such cases, the individual should reveal the potential conflict in their response to the questions on this form. In such cases, the employee or volunteer would be asked to recuse themselves from involvement in such decision-making.
Example #2:
A volunteer or member of their immediate family serves as an editor or in another decision-making capacity for an IEEE publication and also serves in a similar capacity for a competing non-IEEE publication. This potential conflict of interest should be reported in responses to questions 1, 2, and 3 included in the form.
In order to manage the potential conflict, respondents would likely be asked to recuse themselves from any decision-making with respect to issues that relate to both the IEEE publication and the competing non-IEEE publication.
Example #3:
A volunteer serves in a decision-making capacity for an IEEE conference and also has a direct or indirect interest in a potential supplier of goods and/or services to the conference (e.g., registration services). This potential conflict should be reported in responses to questions 1, 2, and 3 included in the form.
In order to manage the potential conflict, respondents would likely be asked to recuse themselves from the selection process for such goods and services.
Example #4:
A volunteer who serves on an EAB committee would be considered to have a potential conflict of interest if s/he participates in international accreditation activities and receives for this service gifts, remuneration, or personal income (as opposed to receiving reimbursement for travel and lodging expenses). The reason is that EAB decisions on accreditation activities may affect this volunteer's future income.
In such cases, the individual should reveal the potential conflict in the response to the questions on this form, and may be asked to recuse herself/himself from participation in any discussion or vote regarding accreditation in the country or countries where s/he performs or expects to perform accreditation services for a fee.
As used in this statement, "loan" means a loan of money, property, or services other than a bank loan at prevailing interest rates.
In this case, a potential supplier might have loaned a personal computer to an employee or volunteer. If that individual is involved in the selection of PCs, the situation should be revealed in the COI disclosure statement under Question 4, and s/he should recuse themselves from participation in the decision-making process for the subject equipment.
The transactions to which this statement relates are (a) purchases, sales and leases, and contracts for the purchase, sale or lease of property of any kind, or (b) the procurement of services such as printing, advertising and catering without charge to IEEE.
If an employee or volunteer were to have decision-making responsibility for the purchase or lease of PCs and they or their immediate family member had worked for the involved supplier, during the prior twelve months, they would be considered to have a potential conflict of interest that should be disclosed in the Conflict of Interest disclosure statement. In response to this disclosure, they would be asked to recuse themselves from the decision-making process for the purchase or lease of PCs by the IEEE.
Compensation from an unrelated organization does not include continuation of payment of your regular compensation from your employer while you provide services without charge to IEEE.
To make an anonymous report of inappropriate financial activities involving IEEE business or compliance with IEEE principles of business conduct, file a report at Ethics Point.

After more than 30 years of shooting and nearly 125,000 images, I'm pleased to announce the opening of my first solo exhibition. The invitation is below; I hope you have the opportunity to stop by.
For complete information on the exhibit, visit www.elementalphotographic.com
Exhibition Overview
An interpretation of earth, water, fire, wind and void
Generally, I shoot what's before me. Partly, that's a reflection of my time not being my own for so many years. More often than not, I was shooting with kids in tow, who threatened to run onto the road or fall off cliffs, leaving only seconds to capture whatever had caught my eye. It honed my reflexes and made me hyper-aware of my surroundings.
At that time, the sheer amount of data being uploaded to my brain kept me from going mad and released the endorphin rush one would normally ascribe to a sustained period of "flow." By design and necessity, flow manifested itself in minute and unpredictable packets of time. But limitations are not such a bad thing. They've made me a more responsive and intuitive shooter.
When I began sifting through myriad photographs to cull and sort and, finally, choose images that would form this first show, the theme quickly came to the fore. I was reading The Book of Five Rings by Musashi Miyamoto, a Buddhism-infused book by a 17th-century Samurai swordsman which spoke directly to the five elements of earth, water, wind, fire and void, a simple yet striking way to describe the natural forces that repeatedly presented themselves in my work.
We think we can conquer and subsume the natural world. We think we can somehow improve on it, create a more ordered existence. But we can't. It's already perfect beyond the shallow limits of our imagination. We have already been granted Paradise in every soil, rock, sky and native plants and trees, and in the sun and rain that have brought life and longevity to this planet. This has been absorbed by my brain and my bones, forever altering the way I see and think and feel. We are inseparable.
But even the most elemental of my photographic pieces have overtures of the human in them, implied if not overt. A distinctive narrative structure reveals itself through detail, bold composition, the use of light and shadow, careful juxtaposition, and select revelation. What is not seen is as critical as what is, demanding a second and third look.
In shaping the show, I've been mindful that ELEMENTAL is not a sweeping retrospective but the first public showing of a selection of my work. As such, I've focussed on two styles:
On the brick wall hangs a single series of large format colour landscapes entitled "Drive-By Shooting, Saskatchewan."
The B&W narrative non-fiction are arranged opposite, combining a series ("Ferry Hair") with individually framed, thematically-connected yet otherwise unrelated pieces.
I have to start somewhere. This is where I've chosen to begin. I'm delighted to have you along for the journey.

Damon Wells
School: Rifle Bears, Class 3A, Western Slope League, top seed heading into this weekend's 3A state playoffs
Record: 10-0 overall, 8-0 in league in 2012; 50-19 career
Coaching résumé: Assistant at North Fort Myers, Fla., High School in 1997; assistant at Cypress Lake High, Fort Myers, Fla., from 1998-99; assistant at Rifle from 2000-04; head coach at Rifle from 2005-07; out of coaching in 2008; assistant at Rifle in 2009; head coach since 2010.
Life lines: Age — 40. Born in Long Beach, Calif. Graduated from Cypress Lake in 1989 and Florida State in 1993, earned degrees in marketing and English. Earned a masters in curriculum from University of Colorado-Colorado Springs 2006. Assistant principal at Rifle.
Back in his day: Quarterback at Cypress Lake from 1986-88. Played football and baseball at Kentucky Wesleyan from 1989-90.
Last week: The Bears have won 21 of their past 22 games, which is practically a shock to Wells. The military brat learned long ago not to assume anything, including football victories. And he worries. "I'm terrible at that," he said. "I'm convinced we'll lose every single game. I've always been that way. They make fun of the way I feel. I'm pretty paranoid that we'll get hammered." One area in which the Bears have done the most hammering is on defense, where they have given up a measly 35 points, a state low. More than half of their points allowed have come when the game was already decided and against backups or junior varsity players. This includes Friday, when Rifle capped an undefeated regular season in a 52-13 whipping of Eagle Valley. "It's not like we know something that other teams don't," Wells said. "The kids have just done a great job." The Bears open the playoffs at home Saturday against Erie.
Neil H. Devlin, The Denver Post
The Denver Broncos high school coach of the week award, in its 17th year, will have 10 honorees during the regular season. The NFL Youth Fund will present a check for $1,000 to the school's program. Wells, the final regular-season choice, joins Overland's Seth Replogle, Fountain-Fort Carson's Mitch Johnson, Eaton's Bill Mondt, Chaparral's John Vogt, Fruita Monument's Sean Mulvey, McClave's Shawn Randel, The Classical Academy's David Bervig, Delta's Ben Johnson and Denver South's Tony Lindsay as winners in 2012. A coach of the year will be announced at the Broncos' Dec. 30 game against Kansas City at Sports Authority Field at Mile High and receive $2,000. Coaches are selected by a panel consisting of Neil H. Devlin, The Denver Post; Billy Thompson, the Broncos; and Andy Lindahl, KOA 850 AM.

Even though this is not a new book, or a book by an indie author, this story made such an impact on me I want to share it. (And it's a great thing to add to your Christmas list!!! :) )
Dana's Valley is my second favorite book of Janette Oke's beside the Love Comes Softly series. This is the only book I have read that made me cry pretty much all the way through. It really gave me a glimpse into what life is like when a loved one has cancer.
From the back cover:
Erin Walsh thinks her family is as close to perfect as it can be. When one grim diagnosis is all it takes to shake her family to the core, she wonders if they can ever go back to they way they were. Erin's attempts to go about life as usual feel empty and as each member of her family seems to struggle alone, she is about ready to give up on God. However, Erin has yet to learn that God will never give up on her.
This book was recommended to me by a friend, and I was more than happy to receive it as a gift. You can't go wrong with this amazing story! But have a box of tissues nearby!
I recently read this book too…so amazing. <3
This is one of the few books that made me cry through it as well…. it's beautifully written, and such a good story, though!

Although they graduated on May 29, Turpin seniors Lauren Kobasuk and Caroline Mink had a little unfinished business to attend to before going off to college. Representing Turpin one last time, Kobasuk and Mink joined teammates freshman Sam Bush and junior Emma Hauserman to run at the OHSAA Division I Track and Field Meet at Jesse Owens Stadium in Columbus on June 3 and 4. The four runners qualified for State together as a 3200 meter relay team; Bush also qualified individually in both the 1600 and 3200 runs.
Seeded 16th in the state going into the meet, the 3200 meter relay team exceeded expectations, placing 14th with a time of 9:34.74 – outpacing every other Cincinnati team, including track powerhouse Mason.
Sam Bush, although qualifying for State in both the 1600 and 3200, opted to conserve her energy and compete in only 3200. This decision paid off as Sam ran a personal best time of 10:47.31, earning a place on the podium with a 5th place finish. Sam's time is the second best in Turpin history and 15th best ever in Cincinnati.
Although Kobasuk and Mink ended their Turpin running careers in style at State, Hauserman and Bush will be back next year with the chance to better this year's outstanding achievements.

The two and a half days I spent at the 2014 NEXT Church National Gathering were refreshing and inspiring. I want to make a few general comments about the conference before diving into the theme that I wrestled with the most.
I've now been to all of the NEXT national gatherings except last year (including the first expansion of the conversation that took place in Minneapolis before the General Assembly in 2010). I didn't go last year primarily because we had a three month old baby at home and it just didn't make sense to take a trip to Charlotte right after my paternity leave. That baby is 15 months old now and I still wasn't sure I could make the trip since I'm the primary morning caregiver for him and our five year old. So my first praise for NEXT 2014 is the awesome childcare option they made available. I loaded up both our boys after church on Sunday and we made a road trip up to Minneapolis. They very much enjoyed the childcare while I enjoyed the conference. We spent the evenings playing in the hotel pool and eating pizza together. Noah asked if we could do it again sometime. So I'm very grateful for the hospitable and forward-thinking move to make this a family friendly experience. I might not have been able to attend otherwise.
In previous years of NEXT, I earned something of a reputation for being critical of the national gatherings. I'd like to think they were constructive criticisms offered for my many friends and mentors involved in the leadership of NEXT, but I will admit that NEXT came into being during a period of my church life marked by cynicism and frustration. (I've consciously tried to pivot my posture here on my blog.) Still, looking back on previous posts (2011, 2012, 2013), I think I struck a balance between appreciation and criticism.
The 2014 gathering continued the basic trajectory of 2013. NEXT seems to be most interested in networking, inspiration, and providing a platform for leaders passionate about vitality and new directions for the church. The worship, preaching, testimonies, and ignite presentations were amazing. While I still wish for more theology and ecclesiology at these gatherings (Stacy Johnson's 2012 talk on the adaptive challenges of post-Christendom remains a NEXT highlight for me), I was pleased to hear some of the first speakers note that "best practices" hold us back instead of move us forward. (I've long been frustrated with conferences that focus on best practices instead of big picture ideas.)
It was in fact one of the big ideas/themes of the conference that challenged me the most. All of the preachers were given as one of their texts Jeremiah 29:5-14a, with a particular focus on "Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you" (Jeremiah 29:7). I groaned a little when I realized that "exile" would be a central theme of the conference. As I've written about before (here and here), exile is a popular but inadequate metaphor for the situation the church finds itself in today. First, I feel like we are not exiled from some promised land as much as we've been left behind by our culture. Second, exile implies the hope for return, but it is neither possible nor desirable for us to return to the "good old days" of American Christendom in which Protestantism was the center and shaper of American culture (or vice versa). Third, whether we intend to or not, the exile metaphor also encourages us to be too self-focused. And fourth, as others have pointed out, it's somewhat problematic for mostly white Protestants to talk about our post-Christendom loss of hegemony as exile when other groups in our society have experienced much more troubling forms of marginalization and oppression.
But my thinking on the theme of exile was tweaked by J. Herbert Nelson on Tuesday morning of the conference. Preaching on "The Common Good," he helped me see that the church isn't in exile. Rather, the church is called into places of exile to be God's people there. Alika Galloway hit a similar note the day before by suggesting that we aren't lost and that the Spirit is calling us into contested spaces. And MaryAnn McKibben Dana returned to this theme in her concluding sermon on Wednesday.
Inspired by this reorientation, I wrote the following in a moderator's letter to the Presbytery of Chicago:
Let's stop bemoaning our losses—as many and as painful as they are—and open our eyes and ears to the places of exile God is calling us to go to proclaim the gospel for the salvation of humankind.
Where are these places of exile in your community? Where are these places of exile throughout Chicagoland? Where are these places of exile around the world?
What's next for the Presbytery of Chicago? Whatever it is, I believe we'll find it in not in a sense of our own exile but in the places of exile to which God is calling us.
While I still think that "exile" may need to be retired as a metaphor we use to describe what's happening in the church today, I can definitely get behind this notion of following God into places of exile for the common good of all.

This keeps getting better or worse...depending....
That is Vice-Mayor Mulvehill featured. FYI - the building is being torn down and John G's is moving to Manalapan, never to come back. Liana Gray, an Australian actress, was on an Earth Diet while she was here and thinks it's great that Dick comes there everyday and eats sausage. I could go on...

This is what qualifies as a "leader of men and women" in lake worth.....and we wonder why you can buy a house for 60,000 bucks only 4 blocks from the beach!!
- Fri Jun 03, 10:09:00 AM EDT
Oh my. She saved a building that is being demolished and she saved John Gs for the people. I'd love to show this during a commission meeting.
- Fri Jun 03, 11:58:00 AM EDT
I wonder how the family feels about statements like "... without Suzanne there would be no John G's food." The food at John G's had everything to do with the hard work and dedication of JOhn Giragos and his family. It has absolutely nothing to do with Susanne Mulvehill!
- Fri Jun 03, 12:57:00 PM EDT
Mulvehill is a absolute moron. Wake up lake Worth you elected this fool. We fought and won, won what Suzanne? This video is a bunch of blowhards talking "Save the French Toast" you have to be kidding me what a bunch of rookies. Who would listen to this as a travel show?
- Fri Jun 03, 02:54:00 PM EDT
GAG!Mulvehill's OWN show...little does she know the History of LW. Some LW residents are here because of "warm weather", friends they've made staying in rentals, shuffle bd entertainment groups,making new friend on LW golf course from Ohio, MI, NJ,IND,PA, IA,Church EVEN john g'S EVERYWHERE-this commissioner along with her "associates' have no clue what they have done to past history..PITIFUL!

Why wouldn't Silky Foreclosure have the class or guts to call a press conference to announce what's really going on and what a tremoundus failure she is.
- Wed Jun 22, 12:07:00 PM EDT
Hey, Rene said he was here forever....remember that? Then he said he would stay til November....remember that? Even though that Australian broad didn't know what she was talking about, Suzanne stood by her man....as it were. The old facts brought other new facts to bare. She was loyal to her detriment. John G's serves a heart attack on a plate. Look who's standing in line. I don't think there is a real piece of food on the plate.....without pesticides and chemicals. Who wants that anyway? As others have said, they were never loyal to Lake Worth. We can do better. Lets' get behind the "demo". Looks like Romano et al. were right. How come it didn't stick? Glad to see the ugly old casino go!!
- Thu Jun 23, 04:43:00 PM EDT
John Giragos was a very astute businessman. I had a lot of respect for him. He and his family made a fortune and GOOD FOR THEM! Go eat your humus. Name a successful breakfast joint that doesn't serve a heart attack on a plate.
He and his family worked like dogs. There from 4:00 am till 5:00 pm and longer on a regular basis.
John was able to negotiate the favorable rental rate because he renovated the kitchen adding bathrooms so customers didn't have to use our super clean public restrooms at the pool building. As I recall, his investment was in the $350k to $500k in a rented building. Many landlords give similar concessions if someone is improving their building.
They quite possibly will not last in their new location. That would be a shame and our entire area will be at a loss if they don't.
- Thu Jun 23, 05:16:00 PM EDT
Good riddance to John G's. You state his struggle to build his empire like he had no choice or it was a punishment or he was the only one who has ever worked hard to acquire financial success. Get over it, I will keep saying the same thing. I have no feeling of loss. I ate their once to see what all the buzz was about and never went back, it was nothing to write home to Mama about. On numerous occasions when John's G's was approached about hosting fundraisers for the community they always turned it down. Where as Benny's on the Beach owners John and Pete have NEVER SAID NO to a non-profit fundraiser in benefit of a resident or neighborhood organization in the very community that keeps their doors open. That is what I call a smart business practice. May they have many more years of continued success in Manalapan. Time for fresh new blood that won't be building their empire on the backs of the taxpayer funded subsidies. Enough is enough.
Au revoir JohnG's,
Mark A. Parrilla
- Thu Jun 23, 11:00:00 PM EDT
If John G's does not make it in their new location it will be an indicator that the only reason they stayed in business so long was the cheap rent they paid. If they can't make it in their new more expensive location they can always move out to Wellington where they all live.
Lynn I'm sure John G's made $350k in renovations to the restuarant. Real sure.
- Fri Jun 24, 11:28:00 AM EDT
Please don't refer to me as Lynn except on Thursday nights. I was around when they did the major renovation and can assure you it was very possibly $350k or more. This was when they expanded onto the North patio increasing their square footage significantly, added the takeout window in the front, added ADA bathrooms plus renovated and upgraded the whole kitchen. Not cheap.
Someone told me today that talks are already under way for another restaurantuer to take the space and happy to pay the new rate.
Hope you all don't begrudge the new guy if HE is successful.
- Fri Jun 24, 03:27:00 PM EDT
- Russ said...
Fair enough, Lynn On Thursday Nights... but regardless of their renovation expenses (not unsual for such a business leasing space... I was around too) it doesn't absolve the many years of subsidy John G's enjoyed at taxpayer expense. Nor their avoidance of support for city events over the years. For Lake Worth's sake, we hope ALL new tenants paying fair market rates will be both community involved AND wildly successful.
- Sun Jun 26, 12:49:00 AM EDT
Point taken on the community support.

A glitch in a computer program will prevent report cards in Prince George's County from being sent out Thursday.
The school system notified parents Wednesday that the third-quarter progress reports will be available Monday, April 23.
Briant Coleman, a schools spokesman, said parents have access to their child's grades through the system's SchoolMax portal any time during the school year.
"We recently updated our software, which caused a slight delay," he said. "However, the report cards have been printed and will be released on Monday."
The glitch that caused the four-day delay pales in comparison to the numerous errors that plagued the system's computer program in 2009, its first year in operation. Then, SchoolMax crashed several times, botching students' schedules. Later that year, it issued report cards late and, in some cases, with errors.
Ironically, the program seems to act up around the same time: Third-quarter progress reports were delayed for six days in 2009.

The executive committee of the Association of Federation Workers, with a membership of 800 men and and women employed in the vairous organizations within the Feberation, for the support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies, will meet Monday night at the 92nd Street Y.M.H.A., to work as a protest against the salaries paid by Federation, Marcel Kovarsky, presidnt of the Association announced Friday.
The decision to empower the executive of the association to arrange the stoppage was taken Thrusday night at a meeting of more than 400 members of the Association. It was also decided unanimously to send a telegram, which was a virtual ultimatum, to Judge Joseph M.
