Mitt Romney's tenure as CEO of Bain Capital ensured that outsourcing would be an issue in this year's election campaigns. So many Democrats no doubt welcomed the Republican filibuster last month that killed the Bring Jobs Home Act.
Not that they would admit it. Publicly, they would stress the importance of enacting it-as Rep. Louise Slaughter, a co-sponsor, did a week ago in a campaign stop at Hickey Freeman's factory in Rochester.
Or as the White House put it in a statement supporting passage of the bill: "The nation's tax code does too little to encourage job creation and investment in the United States while allowing firms to benefit from incentives to locate production and jobs overseas."
But if the goal is to help the millions of unemployed Americans, the Bring Jobs Home Act would be a poor way to accomplish it.
The bill contained two key elements. One would have provided a 20 percent tax credit for expenses related to moving an overseas business unit to the United States. The second would have disallowed the deduction for expenses associated with sending a U.S. operation abroad.
Let's be clear: Current law has no specific incentive or tax break for outsourcing. A deduction is allowed for ordinary and necessary business expenses, among them costs associated with relocating business units.
At a time when nearly everyone agrees the tax code needs to be cleaned up, this measure would have added complexity. Moreover, as Harvard University economics professor Edward Glaeser has noted, companies could easily "game" the law. For example, they might establish a business unit in a low-cost foreign country just long enough to reap a 20 percent credit for relocating it stateside.
The legislation's potential for boosting U.S. jobs also must be questioned. The non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation said the deduction disallowance would generate only $14 million a year. As a way to accelerate job growth, that would not move the needle.
In Mr. Romney's time at Bain Capital, it invested in companies that expanded abroad, sometimes costing U.S. jobs-but at other times putting more people to work in this country. The merits of each move can be debated. But in a global economy, simplistic approaches to boost U.S. jobs rarely work as intended.

Sir Alex Ferguson, the formidable disciplinarian who won 38 championship trophies in 26-plus years as the manager of the English soccer team Manchester United, has accepted a "long-term teaching position" in the executive education program at Harvard Business School, the school announced today. And as post-retirement jobs go, it looks like a pretty sweet gig: The hours will be minimal, and he'll have a co-worker who's likely to do almost all the heavy lifting.
Ferguson, whose success elevated him from a Scottish-tenement upbringing to a knighthood, has been rubbing elbows wih the Harvard crowd for a while. Anita Elberse, a full-time professor at HBS who specializes in marketing, wrote a case study about Ferguson's management style in 2012, which later metastasized into a lecture and a Harvard Business Review article. (The article does not mention in so many words Ferguson's legendary deployment of the "hair dryer" treatment, whereby he would motivate players with a close-to-the-face yelling tirade.)
Elberse will be Ferguson's co-instructor in the new course, "The Business of Entertainment, Media and Sports." As is typical for such executive-oriented classes, the entire thing lasts four days. (Cost to attend: $8,250.) According to its home page, the course Ferguson is joining will cover case studies ranging "[f]rom the National Football League and Lady Gaga, to Hulu and the Metropolitan Opera." Sir Alex's views on Lady Gaga are not currently on record, though he has been known to express concern about paparazzi.

CULVER CITY, Calif. -- Ryan Clark enters his 12th season unsure what the future holds for his NFL career.
The Pittsburgh Steelers safety is coming off another strong season, but his contract is up after 2013 and there are no active negotiations between player and team. Clark wants to finish his career in Pittsburgh, but it's unclear if he remains in the team's long-term plans as he approaches his 34th birthday.
"I've definitely let the team know I want to continue playing there," Clark told Around The League from NFL Network studios. "I'm also very comfortable with what's happened in my career and how long I've been able to play. I'm also actively working on setting things up for when I retire. Seeing what things I like to do and hopefully have those opportunities. I wouldn't necessarily say I'm concerned, but I would like to play. If I don't, I'm pretty happy how it went."
Clark is open to playing elsewhere, but he has no plans to uproot his family with a daughter entering high school. If he can't stay in Pittsburgh, he could target teams in the region. Retirement also sounded like a possibility.
"To bounce around and try to go to all these different places and maybe play for one-year contracts here and there, that's not something I really want to do," he said.

We asked about Ben Roethlisberger, coming off an injury-plagued season and now recovering from knee surgery. Is there internal concern in Pittsburgh that Roethlisberger's durability is in decline?
"No, there isn't. Ben plays a brand of football that puts him at harm's way at times," he said. "I think he's built for it. We also know that's who he is and that's what he has to play for us to be successful. If Ben tried to play like Peyton (Manning) or be Tom (Brady), that's just not who he is. It wouldn't work for us, it wouldn't work for him."

Dr. Gregor Reid calls for new approach to regulating probiotics
Thursday, May 24, 2012
In today's Nature scientific journal Dr. Gregor Reid, Director of the Canadian R&D Centre for Probiotics and a scientist at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry at Western University, calls for a Category Tree system to be implemented in the United States and Europe to better inform consumers about probiotics.
Globally, the market for probiotics (beneficial microorganisms) exceeds $30 billion; however, consumers have little way of knowing which products have been tested in humans and what they do for health. Furthermore, the regulatory system in the US maintains that any product that claims to impact disease must be categorized as a drug. Therefore, scientists can't test if a probiotic yogurt relieves patients with inflammatory bowel disease without first registering the yogurt as a drug. According to Dr. Reid, this regulation has halted a lot of great research on probiotics in North America and has ramifications for probiotic research and development in Europe. "In Europe, bureaucrats have set up a system that has so far refused to acknowledge results of excellent clinical studies," states Dr. Reid. "The net result is an impasse, reduced R&D, and consumers left in limbo."
Dr. Reid's proposal, as discussed in Nature, is to set up a system in which probiotics must all pass a set of minimum requirements before they can be called a probiotic. According to Dr. Reid, this would force many companies to conduct research studies on their products, or call them something other than probiotic. To receive a product stamp, a set of well-defined experiments would have to be performed. Once completed, the product could then receive a Category 1 or 2 stamp.
"Thus, regulators could quickly and easily determine whether or not the product met the standard and approve the stamp, and consumers would be able to understand the extent to which the product had been tested," states Dr. Reid. "With collective discussion amongst probiotic experts and regulatory agencies, this could be a universal stamp across the globe."
For food and supplement products that are more complicated, or targeted for vulnerable populations like children and the elderly, Dr. Reid proposes that documentation requirements would be higher and an expert panel or process might be needed to determine if this Category 3 level was reached.
"This is long overdue given the intransigence of European Food Safety Authority and US Food & Drug Association at present," states international expert in probiotics, Professor Glenn Gibson of the University of Reading, United Kingdom. "The idea clearly has merit given the current confusing situation for consumers, but will regulators have the courage to even consider implementing something so sensible? Sadly I doubt it, although given the high profile of the publication in Nature, and sincerity of the idea, I can only live in hope."
Dr. Reid's commentary, "Categorize probiotics to speed research", can be found in the current issue of Nature at http://www.nature.com/nature/index.html.

BRANDON — As a result of recent raids on Brandon residences, police have seized more than two pounds of marijuana and busted a Brandon man for alleged illegal tattooing.
On Sept. 12 officers executed a search warrant at 41 Carver St., Brandon, which Police Chief Christopher Brickell identified as the apartment of 23-year-old Adam Collis and another occupant. As a result of the warrant Collis is facing two criminal charges of possession of marijuana and practicing tattooing without a license. Police also seized tattooing equipment from the residence.
Tattooing is a professionally regulated business licensed by the office of the Secretary of State.
Brickell said Collis was charged and convicted in 2011 for tattooing without a license, a charge brought by the Vermont Secretary of State's office. Brickell explained that after police received information Collis was still tattooing people, and they applied for a search warrant.
Separately, Brandon police with assistance from Vergennes police on Friday executed a search warrant at 48 Conway Terrace, which Brickell said was the home of Harold P. Mahoney, 53, and Heather Fredette, 42. Brandon officers found marijuana, marijuana plants, narcotics and stolen property, Brickell reported. Police recovered more than two and a half pounds of marijuana, Brickell said in a press release.
As a result of the Conway Terrace search, three individuals were arrested and charged.
Mahoney faces charges of possession of marijuana, possession of narcotics, possession of stolen property, sale of narcotics and contempt of court. Fredette was charged with possession of narcotics.
Brickell said 31-year-old Rena Clark of 31 Conway Terrace was charged with possession of narcotics.

Women's Economic Empowerment & Reproductive Health
Event Co-sponsors
Webcast Recap
As more organizations in the international development community commit themselves to supporting women's empowerment, it has grown increasingly difficult to evaluate what that really entails.
"Everyone uses the word 'empowerment,'" said the UN Foundation's Alaka Basu at the Wilson Center on October 10. "It's now such an overused word. You are empowered if you have a choice of 10 different shampoos in the grocery store; you are empowered if you have 100 kinds of cereals to buy; you are empowered by virtually anyone wanting to sell you something."
Basu argues in her research that effective gender equality initiatives need to go "beyond that way of looking at empowerment and ask, 'what is meaningful empowerment?'"
She was joined by Wendy Baldwin, formerly of the Population Reference Bureau, for a discussion about the effectiveness of the international development community's efforts to empower some of the world's most marginalized women.
Is Increasing Choices Enough?
"If we are to assume empowerment automatically means gender equality, women's rights, women's strength – I think that's a misnomer," Basu said. "Empowerment in the…sense of just expansion of choices can occur in many ways which do not touch the patriarchy, which do not touch women's status, and therefore to assume women are empowered…[and] ideologies have changed, doesn't make sense."
Basu said these "instrumental" empowerment initiatives are problematic because it is hard to determine whether or not providing new choices actually changes attitudes about gender roles and rights, even if they increase practical opportunities.
"How does expansion of women's choices lead to outcomes in other fields?" she asked. It's not clear it does, in some cases. "Data [in some countries] shows that women who are working are very good at achieving many kinds of gross reproductive health outcomes, but when you look at their attitudes…the majority of them still think it's justified for a man to beat his wife…if she doesn't produce a hot meal, or if she refuses sex, or if she talks to strangers," she said.
When it comes to quantifying progress in empowerment efforts, there has been too much exclusive reliance on hard data, such as employment and health statistics, Basu continued. For example, lower rates of sexually transmitted infections can be misleading in places where women simply aren't allowed to have sex. In addition to quantitative data, there is a need to include additional information about changing attitudes.
What Is Successful Empowerment?
Baldwin applauded Basu's message about expanding the traditional approach to empowerment, urging organizations to "unpack the concepts" behind their goals to determine what they define as successful empowerment.
The idea of women's empowerment is not clearly defined. For example, organizations should ask themselves when they start employment initiatives whether they are addressing working in the house or out of the house, in the formal sector or the informal sector, Baldwin said. "What is it about having that job or that income that makes a difference when [women] come home?" For organizations making these decisions, "it would be extra helpful to actually understand how these concepts knit together so that you would have half a chance that pushing on this part of the concept is actually going to give you the effect at the other end that you want," she said.
In Basu's eyes, empowerment is best defined as an expansion of agency throughout women's lives, not in individual sectors. "We mean expansion of choice according to [women's] rules," she said. "Even 'bad' behaviors can be an outcome of expanded choice."
"It's not just that with increased choice you can choose to do something or have something, but you're also able to…choose something that goes against the norm," agreed Baldwin. She pointed out, for example, the idea of finding better husbands doesn't fit into the traditional empowerment narrative, and, in fact, runs counter to it in some ways. But by finding ways to encourage women to stay with men who do not abuse them and respect their rights, it is possible to foster attitudes of empowerment that go beyond economic opportunities. Such decisions help build empowerment beyond individual needs and create lasting change for multiple generations.
Baldwin said NGOs and governments working on women's empowerment should plan their efforts with consideration for the source of empowerment. Are they merely adding additional options, or truly enabling women to choose for themselves? Without careful consideration of the difference, she suggested gender equality initiatives might struggle to find the results they aim for.
"Life Is Not a Randomly Controlled Experiment"
"Ideological change really requires you to question the patriarchy," said Basu, "and here it appears a lot of these so-called empowering factors aren't quite as effective as we think they are." This does not mean there is no place for economic empowerment initiatives, she argued, but rather there ought to be greater consideration regarding their implementation.
For Baldwin, achieving better results from empowerment efforts around the world begins with self-scrutiny in the international development community. She advocated for a "mixed method" approach to evaluation that combines the usual survey data with qualitative research. "If we could structure our research to go back…and say 'I didn't ask you the right questions, can I ask you more?'" then we could reduce misinterpretations of purely statistical data, she said.
Basu believes that empowerment must be considered from all angles, not just in terms of commodities and economic choices: "Life is not a randomly controlled experiment – we need to have a storyline that links all of these issues."
Basu's research, still in progress, will be included in an upcoming white paper from the UN Foundation.

SendGrid Goes Mobile for App DevelopersErika Berkland
As reported by GigaOm yesterday, we announced our latest integrations with leading mobile-backend-as-a-service (MBaaS) platforms Parse, StackMob and Windows Azure Mobile Services. These integrations will now make it easier for more mobile developers to build email delivery and alerts into their applications without having to worry about the details of their infrastructure. Last week, we also announced tie ins to the popular Twilio APIs
that enable SMS text and voice integration into mobile apps.
Our MBaaS integrations are part of our ongoing strategy to make our service broadly available, easy to access and simple to deploy, regardless of what cloud services development teams are building with. Mobile developers are increasingly looking to MBaaS platforms to quickly access and integrate core functionality including the ability to send transactional email, to reduce development time and complexity. Comprised of account registrations, password resets, friend or follower requests, purchase confirmations or any user-generated notification, transactional email is widely regarded as the most effective form of engaging and retaining customers.
"SendGrid has long been on the forefront of introducing new services and products ahead of the market demand curve, and today's integrations with leading MbaaS providers is no different," said Jim Franklin, our CEO here at SendGrid. "MBaaS is quickly replacing the traditional server-side stack as a dependable, feature-rich option for powering mobile applications. Our integrations with recognized mobile app development leaders Windows Azure Mobile Services, StackMob and Parse, as well as our established relationships with the broader cloud services ecosystem, are important steps in making SendGrid available to developers everywhere."

If you are currently enjoying the Xbox Live Gold Family Pack your days are numbered. Starting August 27, 2013 Microsoft will begin converting each activated account in the Family Pack to individual Xbox Live Gold memberships.
If you are planning on getting an Xbox One, this shouldn't be an issue with the new Home Gold feature that allows for the sharing of membership benefits. However, if you're sticking with the Xbox 360, it kinda sucks.
You see the Family Pack ran $99.99 annually and allowed for up to four accounts to tap into the Xbox Live Gold benefits. Where individual memberships run about $50 annually, the Family Pack could save a family up to $100 a year.
In addition you had activity monitoring reports with the Family Pack so you could keep tabs on the younger family members and if they needed Microsoft Points, you could transfer points to them from the primary account as needed. As a severance package, Microsoft will credit each converted Xbox Live Gold membership with three months credit to the remaining time on the membership's term (maximum 36 months).
The move may force some to make the jump to the Xbox One and while that may save on the cost of the Xbox Live Gold memberships, the cost of buying multiple consoles will be a sticking point. One can only hope that eventually Microsoft will offer bulk discount on Xbox Live Gold memberships for families not planning on making the move to the Xbox One.
Otherwise, you may see a sudden drop in Xbox Live Gold memberships simply because families can't afford the extra $50-100. You can read all the FAQ's on this conversion here at Xbox's support page.

SHARCNET has a number of visualization workstations installed at particular partner institutions. Please see the Visualization Systems list in the web portal for further information.
Disk Space
The disk space on the visualization workstations is divided into three groupings, much like on the Sharcnet clusters: The user's home directory, their work directory, and their scratch directory. Currently, the disposition of these directories is as follows:
- /home/USER: This is the user's home directory, as used across all of the Sharcnet clusters. The space limit for it is currently 10GB, and once it is full, you will not be able to create more files in it - you should use your home directory to hold configuration files and environment settings. This directory is remotely mounted from the login node of the Bull cluster, and if that system is not available, a temporary "local" home directory will be created - do not store important files there, as you will lose access to them once your real home directory becomes available!
- /work/USER: This is the user's /work/ directory, currently mounted from the SHARCNET Global Work directories. Standard quota on /work/ is 1000GB, and files you will need to have follow you around, such as input data or program files, should go here. Files placed in your /work/ on one visualization workstation will be in your /work/ directory on all visualization workstations. Again, as this directory is remotely mounted from the Global work, if that system is down, it may become temporarily unavailable.
- /scratch/USER: This is a local, high speed, high(er) capacity storage space, separate for each visualization workstation. It is not remotely mounted, which means that access to it is somewhat faster than the other directories, but if you move from one workstation to another, the contents of your /scratch/ directory will not follow you. There is no quota on the /scratch/ directories in the visualization stations, and you can use up to whatever space is available on the machine for it, however bear in mind that as with the clusters, very old files may be expired, and there are more than one person who uses these machines - leaving some space for others is polite, so you should remember to clean up un-needed files.
Remote storage
- scratch on other SHARCNET clusters can be mounted on the workstations. For example, to mount your /scratch directory on cluster saw you should execute:
mkdir /scratch/$USER/saw sshfs $firstname.lastname@example.com:/scratch/$USER /scratch/$USER/saw
After providing the password, the directory will be mounted in /scratch/$USER/saw and can be used directly. This is very useful if you need to do interactive visualization and your large datafiles are in /scratch on one of the clusters.
Remote Access
The visualization workstations can be accessed via VNC. Please see the Remote Graphical Connections to SHARCNET page for more information.
Problems with /home
The visualization workstations mount your home directory from a secondary system. If the Vizualization workstation is not able to contact the secondary system, it creates a new "local" home directory on the local machine, which allows you to still access the machine, despite your real home directory not being available.
If you create files in the temporary home directory , and subsequently the secondary system becomes available, your real home directory will be mounted over top of the temporary home, rendering those files inaccessible. Please email email@example.com to recover these inaccessible files.
The best way to correct this problem on a Visualization workstation is to log out of the machine completely, and then log back in.
Checking system load
The visualization workstations have no queues, and any user can run their programs from the command line. Unfortunately, this means that two users could potentially be competing for computational resources on the same machine. To check if the machine you logged into is busy, run standard Linux commands like w or top. If you find the machine is busy, it may be a good idea to switch to one that is not.
The same consideration applies to the GPU cards installed on a viz station machine. They are also shared between users. If you are trying to benchmark code, it is important to check that another user is not running something on the GPU.
On systems with NVIDIA cards (most of them) you can check the load on the GPU with command:
Look at GPU-Util entry, which should show % load on GPU. If that is listed as N/A (not available), you can get some idea of the load by looking at card memory usage and temperature.
Here is the way to check GPU load on machines which have ATI cards installed:
export DISPLAY=:0 xhost + aticonfig --adapter=all --od-getclocks

Consumers are increasingly turning to an unlikely source for home security - the cable company.
A decline in prices for critical components such as cameras and wireless technology has lowered entrance barriers to the $13 billion home security market, traditionally the territory of players like ADT Corp.
Continue Reading Below
For cable companies such as Comcast Corp and Time Warner Cable Inc, home security is another revenue stream to rebuild margins whittled away by rising programming costs and declining video subscriber numbers. It is also a way to put to work the billions of dollars that cable companies have invested to create high-speed video and data services over the years.
And home security subscribers tend to stick around for an average of seven or eight years, according to industry estimates, unlike fickle cable TV subscribers who can be lured away by enticing deals from satellite and telecom rivals.
Cable companies "are under pressure on their traditional lines of business so there's some urgency added to add more revenue," said Jim Johnson, executive vice president of iControl, the main home security vendor for Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Cox Communications.
Among the recent converts is Bruce Bird, 58, who did not think he needed a home security system until his New Jersey beach house was robbed last December. The culprits ripped out cabinets and made off with his flat screen TV just after he spent thousands of dollars to repair damages from Hurricane Sandy.
Bird, a pharmaceutical consultant, decided against a traditional security provider like ADT and chose Comcast, already his cable TV company, to safeguard his vacation home on Long Beach Island, New Jersey.
"I kept getting fliers in the mail saying that I had the technology, so I just called Comcast," he said.
The service was not cheap. Bird said he spent about $700 setting up Comcast's Xfinity home product at his beach house for cameras and sensors, as well as other features that allow him to control the thermostat and lights when he is away.
Bird pays about $49 a month for the security service as part of a $209 bill that includes cable TV, phone and Internet. Using his smartphone, he is now able to check the four cameras on the premises and is emailed photos of whoever enters the house.
Comcast, the largest U.S. cable operator with 22 million video subscribers, entered the security market in 2010 and has not revealed subscriber numbers.
Time Warner Cable, which serves 12 million video customers, has 30,000 subscribers for its security business, incoming Chief Executive Rob Marcus said at a recent investor conference. Consumers can now "watch what your dog or cat or nanny are doing during the day," he told investors.
The company this week started selling the service in New York City, its last big untapped market for home security. Adam Mayer, vice president of Time Warner Cable's "Intelligent Home" unit, said the company may create special packages for apartments to crack into wider parts of the New York market.
Privately held Cox, which does not say how many subscribers takes its product, said it plans to take a "healthy percentage" of a potential $1 billion market in the areas in which it operates, a spokesman said.
Cable operators will have to outmaneuver incumbents that include ADT, Protection 1, Ascent's Monitronics, with years of experience, infrastructure and name identification. ADT alone has 6.5 million customers, about a quarter of the U.S. market.
Price is emerging as a key battlefield, with Comcast, Cox and Time Warner Cable offering discounts if customers combine home security with other services. That puts the prices for home security at $30-$50 per month, slightly below what ADT charges for its new "Pulse" product.
Even with the price difference, Imperial Capital analyst Jeff Kessler said it could take years for cable companies to gain consumers' trust in a market where security providers contact authorities in the event of an emergency.
"People's perception of a cable company is that they'll be there between the hours of 8 and 5 next week. You can't have that if you are expecting the police to come in 5 or 6 minutes," Kessler said.
Still, Kessler estimates cable will add 25 million homes while traditional security companies will get 5 to 6 million homes in the next few years. He said the larger security players will weather the new competition since there will always be customers who prefer a product from a dedicated security company.
Comcast Xfinity Home executive Mitch Bowling said that half of its security customers are new to the company, that 96 percent of Xfinity home customers buy at least two other Comcast services and two-thirds of these customers have never bought home security before.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst Jessica Reif Cohen said adding a home security business could boost Time Warner Cable's stock by $20 and Comcast's by $5.
Cable companies also see opportunities in expanding such services to small businesses. They also hope to increase their home automation services, which tap their broadband networks to let customers control lights, appliances and thermostats remotely.
Wireless carrier AT&T Inc, which rolled out its home security and automation service in 2011, is planning to offer services in more than 50 markets by the end of 2013, ahead of their original plan, and go national in 2014. Glenn Lurie, the head of AT&T's emerging devices business, said such services could eventually reap $1 billion a year.
Verizon Communications Inc has a product, but it does not connect consumers to the police or other authorities in an emergency.
DirecTV acquired a home security company called LifeShield in June. It will begin trials for the service in the fourth quarter and release it nationally in the first quarter, DirecTV Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer Paul Guyardo said. Home security and automation is a low-churn, high-margin business that compliments DirecTV's video business, he noted.
Not every cable company is charging into the market. Charter, Cablevision and Dish Network do not have products. Dish said it is "constantly evaluating opportunities" while Charter said it is focusing on its core business.
ADT CEO Naren Gursahaney said in an interview that he is in discussions with every pay TV company about potential partnerships.
"For the most part, they've decided to try the market on their own," Gursahaney said. "If there's a desire on their part to offer a best of breed bundle including ADT ... we'd be open to those kind of discussions."

At an East Hampton Town Board meeting last Thursday night, Debra Foster, a former Democratic town councilwoman, questioned the veracity of some of the data included in a report on housing in East Hampton Town.
The report, prepared by the town Planning Department to be used as a basis for town board decision making, pulls information from numerous sources, including 2010 United States Census data and the town's own studies that were included in the 2005 comprehensive plan. However, some figures come from the American Community Survey, a federal compilation of data conducted between formal censuses, and those figures, Ms. Foster said, are drawn from too small a sample to be reliable.
She said in particular that information regarding Springs School stood out as incorrect. With the 2010 census complete, she suggested using the formal census data instead.
Ms. Foster said that Eric Schantz, a town planner who prepared and presented the report, and Marguerite Wolffsohn, the planning department head, had told her that they had doubts about using the American Community Survey data and had expressed them to Town Councilwoman Theresa Quigley, but that Ms. Quigley had told them to go ahead. Ms. Wolffsohn and Mr. Schantz both refuted Ms. Foster's account earlier this week.
Her statement last Thursday prompted an angry response from Ms. Quigley, who also disputed Ms. Foster's version of events. As the oral sparring continued, with Supervisor Bill Wilkinson adding his own comments in Ms. Quigley's defense, Ms. Foster insisted on finishing her comments, even in the face of calls from the audience to sit down.
In statements issued earlier this week, Ms. Wolffsohn and Mr. Schantz defended the data used. "I have complete confidence in the Planning Department staff and their work, specifically the data provided by Eric Schantz for the housing needs discussion group," Ms. Wolffsohn wrote.
Mr. Schantz said that the data "was compiled using professional standards of disclosure and reliability," and that "specific claims to the contrary by former Councilwoman Debra Foster are an affront to my integrity and the integrity of the Planning Department, as well as patently false."
The federal Web site for the American Community Survey provides specific recommendations and advisories regarding how various entities, including municipalities, should use various categories of information generated from the survey, such as data on economic, housing, and social characteristics.

No one in the financial industry is in the mood to make any acquisitions any time soon, after this week's J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. historic $13 billion settlement with the government over allegedly risky mortgage securities.
That was the sentiment at the "Emerging Trends in the Banking Industry" session at The Clearing House conference in New York on Thursday. Without even mentioning the elephant in the room by name once during the hour-long panel, three major bank CEOs talked about how they really feel on what unfolded this week between the nation\'s biggest bank and the Justice Department.
"I am really bearish on acquisitions on hindsight of what I might pick up," said Richard K. Davis, chairman and CEO of U.S. Bancorp . "If enforcement is used for whatever you pick up, enforcement on what someone else did, it's not very good use of productive time."
J.P. Morgan settled with the government this week, after weeks of negotiation over accusations that it misled investors about mortgages it bundled and sold in the run-up to the financial crisis. The settlement included mortgage securities sold by Washington Mutual and Bear Stearns, which J.P. Morgan bought in 2008.
"I think it's to be avoided until the dust settles," added William S. Demchak, president and chief executive officer of PNC Financial Services Group Inc. . "Only when we can understand what we are getting, where we are headed, it's a buyer's beware environment for a time."
And Demchak says, if you do decide to make an acquisition in this environment, you better do it with the understanding you might be surprised.
Bank of America Corp.\'s chief executive knows all too well of the pitfalls of making acquisitions. Bank of America, before Brian Moynihan took over as CEO, bought Countrywide and Merrill Lynch and has been settling litigation ever since related to mortgage-backed securities.
The firm is currently in the middle of a court battle with American International Group Inc. over mortgage-backed securities.
"My job is easier in that we cannot buy anything," said Moynihan to laughter from the audience. "It's a mind shift, we don't force it, it's not on the table for us."
Incidentally, Bank of America\'s stock price rose this week past the level it was at when Moynihan took over. That points to some progress as the recovery is five years after the financial crisis, but all the executives agreed it\'s still a tough economy that\'s making progress slowly. And corporations are still scared to make decisions on acquisitions and hiring right now.

I just loved these little fellows.
"Take a dive into my curious mind." Angelina is a Chicagoland native who has resided in Colorado since 2011. She credits her military experience for her love of cultural diversity and inclination to explore, which is reflected in her uncommon mixed media art.

Dear Bankruptcy Adviser,
Continue Reading Below
My wife and I divorced in 2011. Afterward I had to file bankruptcy. Included in the bankruptcy was my mortgage loan. My ex stayed in the house for a few months until she found a new place. I assumed once I went through bankruptcy and the mortgage was discharged that the debt then fell to my ex exclusively. Now she is saying that I need to sign a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. Is it necessary for me to do so, or is this her issue to deal with alone? Would it further hurt me to sign this deed after I filed bankruptcy?
Dear Pete,
You are correct to assume that the bankruptcy discharge eliminated your liability on the mortgage. As long as you did not reaffirm the mortgage loan while your case was active, the discharge means the lender can't come after you for the unpaid mortgage balance; that the county can't come after you for unpaid property taxes; and that the insurance company can't come after you for unpaid homeowners insurance premiums.
Your ex-wife may be asking you to sign a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure for other reasons. A deed-in-lieu of foreclosure means that you are relinquishing the title of the house back to the lender before the lender forecloses on the property. If the lender is willing to do this (most lenders aren't), it expedites the process of returning the house to the lender and getting the property entirely out of your name.
In some cases, lenders are taking years to complete a foreclosure. So transferring a title back to the lender more quickly allows you to get the property out of your name and begin the credit recovery process sooner. In general, new lenders state that you must wait a minimum of two years from the date of foreclosure to buy another home. You are being given the opportunity to start that two-year period sooner.
Some people may wonder why the bankruptcy did not remove your name from the title or the mortgage loan. The bankruptcy only wipes out your liability on the mortgage, but it does not remove your name from the mortgage loan or the title to the property. To do that, the property must either be transferred back to the bank or refinanced out of your name. Until either of those two options happen, you are still the legal owner of the property even if you don't have any legal obligation to pay for the property.
At this point, I can't see any negative consequences of signing your name off the title and expediting the return of the property to the lender. You don't want anything to do with the property, so the sooner it is out of your name, the better.

Premier League: Everton 2 Cardiff 1
Seamus Coleman's stoppage-time strike gave Everton a seventh consecutive home win as struggling Cardiff City were beaten 2-1.
The Republic of Ireland defender's sliced shot deep into stoppage time stunned Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's relegation-threatened side, who have now suffered eight consecutive away defeats.
Juan Cala's first goal for Cardiff looked to have secured a precious point in their battle to avoid the drop after fellow Spaniard Gerard Deulofeu had put Roberto Martinez's side in front.
But Coleman had the final say as Everton moved above Manchester United into sixth place in the Premier League and inflicted yet another defeat on a Cardiff side who nevertheless showed plenty of fighting spirit as goalkeeper David Marshall produced a string of outstanding saves.
Leon Osman came into the Everton side as captain in the absence of Steven Pienaar (knock), while Tim Howard and Deulofeu started at the expense of Joel Robles and Ross Barkley following last weekend's FA Cup quarter-final defeat at Arsenal.
Cala recovered from illness to take his place in the Cardiff side as Kenwyne Jones dropped to the bench and Kevin Theophile-Catherine replaced the injured Ben Turner in defence.
Kevin Mirallas must have thought he had put Everton ahead after just two minutes when he picked his spot with a measured right-footed strike, but Marshall produced a fine reflex save.
The tricky Deulofeu then went down in the penalty area under a challenge from fellow Spaniard Cala, but referee Roger East waved play on 22 minutes in.
Fraizer Campbell spurned a chance to open the scoring against the run of play six minutes later, as the alert Howard saved with his feet.
Marshall was delivering a goalkeeping masterclass at the other end as he thwarted Deulofeu and then produced an outstanding fingertip save to keep out Romelu Lukaku's venomous left-footed strike as the first half finished goalless.
Cala was in the thick of the action and the defender made a vital last-ditch challenge as Lukaku prepared to pull the trigger just after the break.
Everton were in front after 59 minutes though, and it was Deulofeu who got the breakthrough when he cut in from the left unchallenged and beat Marshall at his near post with a deflected effort.
Cardiff refused to lie down and they were level nine minutes later, when substitute Peter Whittingham whipped in an inviting free-kick which struck Cala and bounced down into the corner of the net.
The equaliser stunned Everton, but Osman almost restored their advantage when his vicious strike flashed just wide with Marshall beaten.
Marshall produced yet more heroics to somehow tip Lukaku's deflected right-footed strike wide 12 minutes from time, but Coleman won it right at the end with a scuffed effort that looped into the net after Gareth Barry had headed Aiden McGeady's cross into his path.

Lexie's needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 92 designs submitted by 21 freelance designers.
Lexie's™(name of store) - Frozen Yogurt and Custard (sub header) - Join the Cultured Revolution™(Tag Line)
I am creating a new Frozen Yogurt and Custard concept. I currently own and operate 3 hamburger and french fry places and now I am trying to create a new frozen yogurt brand. It will have a very innovative in store design that will be modern and appeal to a wide range of age groups, from kids to older adults. It will offer the healthy benefits of yogurt as well as many other healthy toppings and fresh fruit, and it will also offer the indulgences of a number of flavors of frozen custard with toppings like chocolate chips, graham crackers, m&m's, and numerous other candy toppings. It will also offer shakes and smoothies. What is different is that the customer will be able to create and customize it themselves. It will be a fun environment, with pop music playing in the background, and active lifestyle pictures on the wall.
Lexie is the name of my daughter. I liked the name so much that I also thought it would be a good brand name for this concept. I also have two other boys that are not happy about me naming the store after their sister but they will have to get over it. I told them that maybe I will name some new flavors after them.
Basically it is for anyone who is looking for a very tasty, yet healthy alternative to ice cream. The underlying theme of frozen yogurt is that it is healthy for you. Everyone is now looking for that type of alternative and if it can be offered in a fun and hip way, with flavors that are as good if not better than ice cream, and the customer can customize specifically to their liking, then it will appeal to a wide audience.
The target markets I predict are:
1) Families, especially those that have just finished a hamburger next door and want a good desert or those that are looking for an alternative to a burger.
2) Kids - because of the many flavor offerings and more importantly the ability to put your own toppings on (like M&M's) that this will become a nightly destination for them to want to go to with their parents.
3) Teenagers - with the emergence of so much marketing hitting our teenagers to live a healthy lifestyle, this concept should become a meeting place after school and at night. It will be a hip place to hang out.
4) Women and men 25-50 - looking for a healthy dessert alternative
5) Elderly who have been told of the many health benefits of probiotic yogurt on their digestive track and ability to fight off disease.
I am looking for a very creative design that takes the store name
Lexie's ™
Frozen Yogurt and Custard
and the tag line "join the cultured revolution™"
and creates a logo design/brand that can be used for store signage, store cups to hold the Yogurt, the web site, and other marketing materials.
I would like a picture that goes with the logo, maybe something like a little girl eating a cup of yogurt, or something depicting an active lifestyle, or just the cup of yogurt itself with some cool toppings in it. In the restaurant there will be photos of people rock climbing, running, and skiing so that "active" theme will be portrayed throughout the store.
I would also like the tag line, "Join the cultured revolution" included in some of the designs.
The winning design should be in formats that can be used both in electronic media and print.

Japan's monetary base soared to a record in April, the Bank of Japan said on Thursday, as the central bank's more aggressive quantitative easing programme boosts the amount of money flowing through the economy.
The BOJ unveiled a radical overhaul of monetary policy on April 4 by shifting its policy target to the monetary base from short-term interest rates.
Continue Reading Below
The central bank aims to roughly double the monetary base over two years by increasing purchases of government debt to end 15 years of nagging deflation. The monetary base is currency in circulation and commercial banks' deposits at the BOJ.
In April, the average monetary base was a record 149.6 trillion yen ($1.54 trillion), up 23.1 percent from the same period a year earlier, the BOJ said in a statement.
At the end of April, the monetary base stood at 155.3 trillion yen, which was also a record high, central bank data showed.
Under its new quantitative and qualitative monetary easing, the BOJ expects the monetary base to reach 200 trillion yen at the end of this year and then rise to 270 trillion yen at the end of 2014. ($1 = 97.3450 Japanese yen) (Reporting by Stanley White; Editing by Shri Navaratnam)

The Saudi Honeynet (SAHNET) Chapter joined the Honeynet Project on July 26th, 2010.
The chapter members are:
The activities of the chapter include the following:
1. The first pilot run of a dionaea honeypot was deployed in the period of November-December 2010. Some of the activities that were captured during that period include:
2. We deployed a Windows virtual machine with Microsoft SQL Server, and we have seen many ms-sql-s login attempts, some of which were successful.
3. Currently, we have deployed multiple Dionaea honeypots across the KFUPM campus. We are seeing many malware downloads and we are collecting more traces for further analysis.
4. We have just started deploying Glastopf and Cuckoo SandBox.
5. We have collected many local traces, containing suspected malicious activities, which were also used for analysis.
1. We have used different anomaly detection techniques for analyzing Honeynet traffic. The following lists some of the work accomplished:
2. We have used data mining techniques to identify scanning activities in Honeynet traffic.
3. We are mainly interested in working with other chapters on Honeynet traffic analysis and sharing the findings.
1. We were able to classify different types of malicious activities in Honeynet traffic based on our developed techniques that use entropy analysis and volume-based thresholds. We are still improving some of these techniques to obtain better results.
2. We were able to identify scanning activities in Honeynet traffic, which could help us focus on other more interesting types of malicious activities.
3. We have seen many types of malicious activities as stated above in the deployments section, including many malware downloads.
4. We have seen many ms-sql-s login attempts, some of which were successful. The attacker then logged into the Microsoft SQL database and changed the password, so we have no access to it. We are interested to know if anyone has seen something similar, and what happens after the access to the database is obtained. A trace of this is available at:
MS SQL Login Attempts Trace
List of Publications:
We have achieved our main goals for the last year which were to deploy honeypots on the KFUPM campus, collect traces, and develop new techniques for analyzing Honeynet traffic.
For the next year, our goal is to improve the techniques developed for analyzing Honeynet traffic. In addition, we aim at extending our experience with Honeynet deployment and traffic analysis to the national level by collaborating with CERT-SA in Saudi Arabia and other interested parties.
We had a visit on June 4-8, 2011 of two CyberSecurity Malaysia Experts, Mahmud Ab Rahman and Mohd Hafiz Tabrani. The program of their visit included seminars on CyberSecurity, training on Web security, and a workshop on analyzing malicious PDF. It was a very successful event with around 30 attendees. In addition, we discussed the Honeynet deployment at KFUPM by the SAHNET Project and ways of collaboration between CyberSecurity Malaysia and SAHNET chapter.
