With wide swaths of Oklahoma in pieces, I feel weird. Relatively speaking, I was physically unaffected. I can safely say I'm getting real tired of that burn in your throat the develops as you choke back tears, so I'm not emotionally exempt but my house (apartment) still stands. Bryan's old house, while slightly damaged and will likely need a new roof, escaped the worst of it. Our mementos and things are safe and sound. Thousands of others across the state cannot say the same thing after two days of tornadoes swept across the landscape.
Tuesday, Bryan and I inched back into Moore to retrieve the greater part of his earthly possessions. We had already decided to move him into my place this weekend. Mother Nature had different ideas. I'm choosing to believe that this is her way of saying "You two are GREAT together. Why wait?" Because that's way better than thinking she's a total bitch who got bored one Monday afternoon in May. We both took the day off and set out to begin a move a few days ahead of schedule.
We crept through crawling traffic and pedestrians hiking in to help, snaking around back ways to get into Bryan's neighborhood. Police blockades and damp National Guardsmen (because screw fair, it rained again) denied access to the most heavily affected areas. We managed to the very edge of Bryan's neighborhood (the half that still stood anyway) and an incredibly kind OK County Sheriff's deputy decided to allow us to drive in when he was well within his rights to make us hoof it.
I couldn't help but feel a tiny twang of survivor's guilt as we pulled into his driveway. Power lines still littered the road and the house was dark and musty. The smell of unconditioned air smelled weird and though everything was exactly as it should have been and cloud-filtered sunlight poured in through the windows, it was still creepy, a disjointed experience that neither of us could explain. I shut down the emotional center of my brain as we dissembled furniture and wrapped valuables to keep them from breaking. I categorically ignored the knowledge that folks a mere four doors down were looking anything at all not already dissembled or broken.
After we tetris-ed the truck full of boxes and belongings, I felt what I imagine a refugee feels as they bundle up their goods and trundle down the road looking for higher ground and safer keeping. Only I wasn't refugee. I wasn't fleeing anything. I was simply going ahead with plans already discussed, just a little earlier than initially thought and surrounded by something that, honestly, we're accustomed to seeing. Of course when a storm takes out your home its a shock and I can't begin to think I know what that feels like but I've seen the aftermath before. I'm as safe as I ever am, my family protected and all my things intact. I should feel lucky or blessed or privileged, and I do but it also feels weird. Like I should feel something else; I should feel worse or better or something other than perfectly normal because my life is still perfectly normal.
Perhaps its because this is the first major tornado in my area since the onset of adulthood. The previous tornado that had held any sort of impact on me or attacked people I actually knew, hit when I was 18 at best and I don't really care what the law says, I wasn't even close to being an adult then, though my 18-year-old self would have argued that point vehemently. The one before that, the infamous May 3rd (Yes, we named it by its date. This one will be called "The May 20th."), struck when I was in middle school.
Perhaps because it could have easily been me and my family and now that holds different implications. Once you have kids everything changes, including, apparently, emotional reactions to weather events.
Perhaps it's just because I'm mushier then I used to be.
Perhaps it's all of the above.
There's a few of my perhaps'. And they all feel weird.

475: Further Boomerang Difficulties
|Further Boomerang Difficulties
Title text: An eternity later, the universe having turned out to have positive curvature and lots of mass, the boomerang hits him in the back of the head.
This comic is a sequel of sorts to 445: I Am Not Good with Boomerangs, as it deals with the same subject manner with the same panel layout.
The first strip shows Cueball throwing a boomerang, which doesn't come back. He looks downwards in the rightmost panel as if in shame. In 939: Arrow, a boomerang returns to Cueball, which can either be the same Cueball from this comic or another person.
In the second strip he throws another boomerang, which somehow manages to hurt the ozone layer (as indicated by an off-screen voice). This is of course not possible with a boomerang,[citation needed] as the ozone layer is a layer of molecules very high up in the atmosphere.
The third strip shows Cueball throwing something that appears to be a boomerang, but then Megan enters and reveals that it was their last banana - which she probably had expected to eat since she calls him an asshole.
The final strip shows Cueball throwing one last boomerang, which breaks the frame of the comic, already after two out of the four frames used in each of the first three strips. Then panning down we find the last panel, much larger and suddenly mainly black instead of white. It shows that this time he was actually inside a spacecraft (which resembles an Apollo Lunar Module in a very bad manner), and the boomerang has just broken out through the hull. We see the boomerang and Cueball tumbling out into space with the escaping air to certain death[citation needed].
If you try to link up the rightmost panels, as what was in 445: I Am Not Good with Boomerangs, you get a bad story where Cueball is looking down. Then a person (presumably Megan), screams about the ozone layer. We also see Megan call Cueball an asshole
The title text notes that, assuming a theory, that is no longer generally accepted, where the universe has a positive (closed) curvature and lots of mass, the boomerang would, after a (very) long time hit Cueball in the back of his head. This would happen because under those conditions the entire universe would eventually fall back on itself in the Big Crunch. Before this happens, everything would again get pressed close together, and it is during this process that the boomerang would finally return to his frozen (but quite possibly preserved) head. (So at least one "success" in four attempts.)
Boomerangs also became a main theme in the interactive comic 1350: Lorenz. The same format of multiple bad endings to the same starting set-up is used in 1515: Basketball Earth.
- [Cueball is throwing boomerang.]
- [Holding his hands up.]
- [Cueball waits for return; continual waiting.]
- [Cueball is dejected, head hangs low.]
- [Cueball throws boomerang.]
- [Cueball waits for boomerang.]
- Outside: Oh God
- Outside: The ozone layer!
- [Cueball is surprised.]
- [Cueball throws boomerang-like banana.]
- [Cueball waits.]
- [Megan walks in.]
- Megan: That was our last banana.
- Megan: You're such an asshole.
- [Cueball throws boomerang.]
- [Boomerang breaks out of the panel box.]
- [Boomerang breaks out of a spacecraft, followed by Cueball.]
- Part of this comic and 939: Arrow is the picture for the Brick Joke page on TV Tropes.

OK, Dgbrt, you clearly know more about the universe's curvature than I do. Now, would you be so kind as to actually explain that rather than play tug-of-war with the incomplete tags? 126.96.36.199 23:41, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
I took a shot at it. Good enough to remove the incomplete tag? LogicalOxymoron (talk) 23:22, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
Should it be noted that a normal boomerang (a weapon) is not supposed to return? Only a returning boomerang (a toy) returns. Tharkon (talk) 00:47, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
What do you call a boomerang that won't come back ? ... a stick. 126.96.36.199 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

(Chemistry & team experience)
Before the trade, NY had 4 starters who weren't on the roster last year in Felton, Fields, Amare & Mozgov. Gallo was our only returning starter. (2 Rookies)
After the trade? NY now has 5 starters who weren't with us last year. 3 of our 5 starters have only been here for 12 or fewer games.
These situations make it next to impossible for a team to compete on a consistant basis without the much needed practice time to GEL as a unit.
We aren't a "team" as of right now; we're a team thats trying to learn how to become a better team. It takes time.
Gaining the much needed playoff experience could become huge for NY. After a full offseason of training camp, a boat load of offseason practices, along with an entire preseason of working together, as a team; we should be ready to contend next year. Especially if we upgrade in talent over Jeffries, Turiaf & Shelden @ the Center position.
We're expected to bring back 4 returning starters next year in Billups, Fields, Melo & Amare. .

Wonderful sketches, Robyn! The jays are so elusive, aren't they? I can't even get a photo in the rare times I spot them.

Many thanks everyone for your encouragement.
Felicity, the Jays are elusive. This one was photographed in Poole, Dorset. I've never managed to get one into our garden here in Tuscany but I do see them sometimes on my morning walks.

Print Recipe
The secret to the dish is in the sauce, and it's all about reserving the roe from the lobster, which is mixed with punchy garlic, bright parsley, and a swig of brandy. A few other tricks are to use the lobster antenna to remove the sand and veins from the lobster itself and to make a fire using manzanilla (chamomile) branches.
To kill the lobsters, hold each one firmly on a cutting board with its head toward you, plunge a sharp heavy knife into the center of the head, and quickly bring the knife down to the board, splitting the front of the lobster in half; turn it around and cut it completely in half. Pull off the tails, and then pull off the claws if using Maine lobsters. Slice the tails into ½ inch medallions, cutting through the natural segments in the shells. Remove the roe from the heads and reserve; remove and discard the head sacs and tomalley.
Heat 6 tablespoons of the olive oil in a paella pan or a large sauté pan over high heat. Add the lobster heads, claws if you have them, and tailpieces and sauté for 1 minute, or until they turn red. Transfer the heads and claws to one bowl and the tail pieces to another. Add the onion, tomatoes, peppers, and half the garlic to the pan and cook until softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 8 cups water, bring to a boil, and season with salt and pepper. Add the lobster heads and claws and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the tail pieces and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until opaque throughout. Remove the stew from the heat and let rest while you make the sauce.
Combine the reserved roe, the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, the remaining garlic, the parsley, and brandy in a mortar and mash to a loose paste with the pestle. Add to the stew and stir well, then check for seasoning and serve.

Watching how Apple has made such a big success of its retail stores, it appears that Google now wants a piece of the action.
The Internet giant has taken over 285 square feet of space inside a computer store in central London, though it'll only be there until Christmas.
The Chrome Zone store opened for business on Friday inside a PC World store on Tottenham Court Road and, according to an Evening Standard report, "only sells Google's Chromebook laptop and a few accessories such as headphones."
Its opening was, by all accounts, a low key affair, and certainly a far cry from the commotion usually associated with the opening of Apple stores.
Google UK's head of consumer marketing Arvind Desikan told the Standard: "It is our first foray into physical retail. This is a new channel for us and it's still very, very early days. It's something Google is going to play with and see where it leads."
Desikan went on to say that the Chrome Zone would give consumers a chance to try out a Chromebook for themselves and help them better understand what the device is all about. Up until now UK consumers could only buy the Chromebook online, so Google will be hoping that giving people the opportunity to get hands-on with the machine will boost sales.
A post on the company's Chrome blog by Google product marketing manager Laura Thompson said: "Many things in life, like football and rock music, are best experienced in person. Chromebooks are no exception."
Google's Chromebooks, which launched in June this year, are supposed to offer users a quicker, simpler and more secure computer experience. The laptops have no hard drive, and all software and data is stored in the cloud – so an Internet connection is essential for its operation.
A second Chrome Zone is set to open in a major shopping mall close to London next week, with more stores planned for other countries in the coming months.
Commenting on the new store, a spokeswoman told the Standard: "We've put a lot of effort into making it feel welcoming, homely and, dare I say it, 'Googley'."

Server: irc.lunarnet.org
Channel: #simrtk
Channel is being run by server operator Shen Dao. Feel free to use it 24/7.
IRC is an excellent way of opening new doors in large communitys such as SimRTK. mIRC is perhaps one of the most popluar IRC clients available. For those that don't know anything about it... I'll help you out.
Download mIRC and install it. Open the program and the Options window by File > Options... . There you can configure your server list (irc.lunarnet.org) and your personal information such as your nickname for chat. When your finished, click "Connect to IRC Server" and wait for the server to log you in. From there, to access the channel you type in...
/join #simrtk
... and your there! That simple. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
There is also a Java version of the RTK Chatroom (Provided by Lucian Flamestrike, so make sure to thank him)
-Launch your internet browser
-type in the url irc.flamestrikesforge.uni.cc
-Let the java applet load and if any boxes concerning security come up just click run or accept.
-when its loaded use /nick <username> to change your name
-use /join #<channel> to join the appropriate channel. The applet automatically connects to irc.lunarnet.org
-once in the channel enjoy chatting with your simrtk or other sim buddies!
Note: simirc may not work on certain university firewalls.
You will need to change the server to lunarnet.org to be able to access the chat using this.
The Big, Bad, Rules of #simrtk
If you do not follow these rules, the ops and half ops may kick or ban you as necessary. If you are excessive in breaking the rules, you will get warned on the forum itself.
All rules that are applicable on this forum also apply in IRC. That means no spamming (see below), no flaming, no trolling.
Spam in IRC is not simply flooding the channel with a lot of text copied and pasted at once. Emoting for tke sake of emoting - when it goes beyond about 10 lines in IRC - is also considered spam. This means conversations that look something like this:
* ircbot stabs sillyplayer
* sillyplayer dodges it with the power of cheese
* cheeseball doesn't like being used as a shield, splatters on sillyplayer's face
* ircbot cries and stabs cheeseball
Should be restrained. Standard spam rules (spamming a lot of dots or words without meaning) also apply.
Excessive use of Internet-speak, 1337-speak or chat fads (such as the "O RLY?" "YA RLY"! exchange) are banned. While these are acceptable in small doses, too much use is spamming and just plain annoying.
Flaming and trolling in IRC are the same as they are on the boards. While banter is not a bad thing, there is a limit to how much can occur. If it might hurt someone's feelings, or is intended to insult them, don't say it. This applies even if the person is not in IRC or does not come to IRC.
If you get into an argument with another person, learn to take it to query or drop it entirely from IRC. Exposing the room to personal arguments is uncalled for.
Some topics must be limited in the forums because of age appropriateness or because of the inherant hostility in them. Remember that the forum and IRC are both PG-13 areas; sexual innuendos and sexual discussions therefore should be limited. Topics such as religion, politics, abortion, etc, may also be asked by the ops to be ceased if they get out of hand. An op's decision is final.
Profanity is likewise to be kept at a minimum. Excessive profanity or vulgarity is unacceptable.
Abusing kick-scripts, quote-scripts, or other kinds of scripts by using them repeatedly in a short amount of time will result immediately in a kick. If the behavior continues, or has been warned about before, it will result in a ban.
IRC handles (your screenname) should be no longer than 15 characters, in general. You should also never take the name of another member, as impersonation or attempts to flame someone by their own name are unacceptable. Please try to stick to one name. Changes for no reason are frowned upon.
When the channel is put into +m mode, it is being silenced for moderation purposes (usually because the channel has got out of hand). Do not attempt to talk in the channel by changing your screenname (once or repeatedly). If you need to talk, query an op.
The ops (@) and half ops (%) in IRC have the right to make a judgement call at any time, and their word is final. If they ask you to stop a certain behavior, you are expected to stop immediately, and any kicks or bans that result will be reinforced by the administration. If you feel any kicks/bans are abusive, you may bring the issue up to Xiahou Mao.
The following jokes are not allowed under any circumstances:
Pedophilia-related jokes.
"Your momma" jokes.
Racial slur words in any context.

Series: Witch's Brew #1
Published by Entangled Publishing, LLC Genres: Urban Fantasy
Reviewed by Jo
Libby works for her coven as their Enchantress – that is a witch who can conjure spells as her gift from the Goddess. It also means that whenever anything strange or bad happens in their area, Libby is sent out to find out what happened and track down who was behind it so they can be punished. Right now she has a case where cats are being killed and something about it is strange. However, Libby is going to find out who is behind it. Now it seems she has been given some unexpected help from the coven, a mysterious and sexy warlock named Kale.
Kale might be a new ward for the coven but he knows exactly what his job is and he is certainly strong enough to keep Libby safe. Kale also has his own reasons for being assigned to Libby. What Kale didn't expect was to enjoy Libby's sass as much as he did nor did he expect the immediate attraction that hit him hard when they met.
Libby believes that the only reason Kale was assigned to "help" her is because the coven is looking for a reason to get rid of her because of her attitude. Now she is determined to show Kale just how good she really is at her job and begins to pull out some spells she had been working on but hadn't really tried much yet. Kale is very impressed by Libby and he tries to tell her that he isn't trying to judge her for the coven. Libby still isn't sure, especially since he won't answer her questions about who he is and what he's doing. When their investigation proves that there is something much larger going on and it's directed at one of the largest foundations of the magical community, Libby and Kale are going to need to find a way to trust each other and to accept the passion that has been growing between them. All the events have led to one night and a major showdown; it's a do or die situation for Libby, Kale and the entire magical community. When the morning comes who will have won the night and have the many secrets Kale kept from Libby ended any chance they have at a future together?
Take one sassy and take charge witch and one sexy and fierce warlock, stir well and you have a passion that will rock the magic community for a good long while which was the formula forThe Cat's Meow. The instant distrust at the same time as the instant attraction told me right off, this was going to be an interesting book. Libby and Kale's personalities were the exact opposites and it seemed so was their magic. I loved watching as Libby began with an aggressive offense against what she believed Kale was really doing as much as I felt sorry for Kale trying to prove he was a good guy and not out to do anything to her while not being able to answer her many questions. As the danger became clearer, I could tell that Libby and Kale were becoming much closer even with the trust issue. I also loved how Libby was being given a chance to become an even more powerful enchantress with Kale's help. The night of the final battle, many of the answers became clear, which was both good and bad for Libby and Kale's relationship. They might have won the battle but I was so afraid that Kale and Libby had lost their war, but the night wasn't over yet and I discovered that Kale was the master of many things – including the passion between him and Libby.
The Cat's Meow was fast paced and a mixture of sass filled comments, a building passion with explosive potential, and a magical suspense – all of which had me wondering what each new page would bring. I ended up reading this in one sitting (sleep is so overrated) because I just couldn't wait to see what new thing would be introduced to Libby and Kale. I had to Joyfully Recommend The Cat's Meow because of the fulfilling plot line and the fact that the entire book had me smiling and laughing even when I want to shake my head in disgust at something that was going on. It is a great addition to any magic library – on the lighthearted side – yes, even with the intense suspense, I found.

Hillary Clinton says rival Donald Trump is spreading hateful messages online by retweeting white supremacists and anti-Semitic tweets and images to his millions of Twitter followers.
Clinton delivered a speech Thursday in Reno, Nevada, highlighting Trump's support within the "alt-right" movement.
"Alt-right" is short for "alternative right," to distinguish the movement from mainstream conservatism. It's often associated with efforts on the far right to preserve "white identity," oppose multiculturalism and defend "Western values."

[NATL] Highlights From the 2016 Campaign Trail
"What he's doing is more sinister. He's giving a dog whistle to his supporters," she said. "He says he wants to make America great again, but his message seems to be make America hate again"
Trump has been criticized for failing to immediately denounce the support that he's garnered from white nationalists and supremacist, including former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke.
The Democratic presidential candidate cited a series of hateful remarks posted by Trump's account, including an image of Clinton's face next to a Star of David on a background of dollar bills.
"From the start, Donald Trump has built his campaign on prejudice and paranoia." she said. "There's been a steady stream of bigotry from him."
She also accused the Republican nominee of "pushing discredited conspiracy theories with racist undertones" including suggesting that GOP primary candidate Ted Cruz's father was involved in the Kennedy assassination.
"A man with a long history of racial discrimination who traffics in dark conspiracy theories should never run our government of command our military," she added.
Trump took to social media following Clinton's speech, saying she was "pandering" and called her "fear-mongering."
At a rally in New Hampshire earlier Thursday, Trump lashed out at his opponent, rebuking her claims that he's a racist.
"She lies, she smears, she paints decent Americans as racists," said Trump, who then defended some of the core — and to some people, divisive — ideas of his candidacy.
The Republican nominee's campaign says it has never used the term "alt-right" and disavows "any groups or individuals associated with a message of hate." The campaign suggested her attack was meant to distract from questions swirling around donations to The Clinton Foundation and her use of her private email servers.
"It's the oldest play in the Democratic playbook: say 'You're racist, you're racist, you're racist.' It's a tired, disgusting argument. It's the last refuge of the discredited Democratic politician."
[NATL] Scenes From the GOP Convention in Cleveland
Trump's campaign also responded with a strongly worded statement from a prominent black supporter, Pastor Mark Burns, who says Clinton and her campaign "went to a disgusting new low" with the video tying the Trump Campaign to "horrific racial images."
He called on Clinton to disavow the video.
Trump has scheduled a fundraiser Friday night on the south shore of Lake Tahoe.
Clinton also pushed back on accusations from Trump and others saying she was suffering from poor health.
"His latest paranoid fever dream is about my health. All I can say is, Donald, dream on."
Trump and his allies have said that unspecified maladies leave Clinton unfit to assume the presidency.

This page refers to Portfolio classic plans. If you're using Portfolio 2.0 and later, please check this section for frequently asked questions about Portfolio live plans.
We've gathered some frequently asked questions about scheduling in Portfolio for Jira below.
How does the scheduler work?
In brief, it takes the priority-ranked backlog, available resources, release dates, dependencies and other constraints and figures out an optimized selection of resources for each backlog item in order to finish the highest priority items as fast as possible. Here are some more details on it: Recalculating the schedule.
Is the dynamic schedule algorithm user configurable?
There are several configuration parameters available in the plan settings, such as the number team members that can work simultanuously on a single story, or how stages are scheduled. These settings control the most significant input parameters to the algorithm.
Epics and Stories
How does the scheduler know which skills are required for a story?
When specifying a total estimate, this estimate will be split up into efforts for each stage and skill based on the percentages configured in the plan settings. Additionally, the estimates column in the backlog table can be expanded, and instead of entering a total estimate, you can enter estimates for the specific skills that are required for a story.
Is an estiamate required for every story and epic in order to get accurate forecasting?
Yes, currently Portfolio for Jira only considers backlog items that have an estimate. In practice, in some cases this means entering (time) budgets and not real estimates, as you might not have enough details yet to provide a realistic estimate. Either way, a value is required in order to book the resources accordingly.
Do you need to specify start dates on every story and epic?
No, start dates are computed automatically based on the estimates and available resources. This is where the automatic scheduling algorithm does the heavy lifting for you.
How do you model a release sprint, regression or stabilization effort inside a release date being calculated?
There are different options to achieve this goal.
- Put a placeholder epic with an effort estimate to represent the stabilization effort. You could size it in such a way that it fills out the capacity for a full time for a sprint. You might have to work with dependencies or an earliest start date constraint to ensure the capacity is reserved only after the other work is done.
- Another approach is modify the start date of the next release to leave a time buffer inbetween, i.e., the subsequent release starting 2 weeks after the end of the previous release.
Any plans for sprint capacity planning? I'd like to know where my resource bottlenecks are during a given two-week iteration. Jira doesn't do that natively and as a result I have to create a capacity plan in Excel.
Portfolio for Jira should be able to help you with that today. It might be a bit counter-intuitive since you work in sprints, but in order to plan exact capacities on a day to day basis you would have to switch the team to Kanban mode (in the people section, team schedule column). You could use releases to represent sprints instead. This will give you a day-to-day plan within your sprints to see how people are allocated.
Jira Integration
Please provide some more detail on how Jira figures out how long a story/epic is going to be.
The calculated duration is based on the effort estimate you enter into Portfolio for Jira and the available capacity of the assigned team(s) and members. So if a work package has an effort of 10 days, and 2 people are scheduled to work on it, the duration will be 5 days. However, bear in mind that when scheduling in sprints, the graphical schedule always shows the work item from the start to the end of the completed sprint, even though it takes only few days within the sprint. This is because at this granularity level, Portfolio for Jira only matches the total capacity within a sprint, but not a day-to-day plan within a sprint itself. If this is required, teams need to be switched to Kanban mode.
People and Teams
I need to manage a mixture of teams. Can Portfolio for Jira be used for teams that don't use sprints? How can it help Kanban or waterfall teams?
Yes, in the people tab it is possible to switch teams to a kanban / continuous day-to-day schedule. Different teams can have different settings, i.e., it is possible that some teams work in Scrum mode, and others in Kanban or with traditional methodologies. Common to both modes is that the scheduling algorithm always focuses on finishing individual work items completely before starting new ones. This means that in Kanban mode, when design of a story has started, the first the implementation if it will be scheduled before starting design work on another new feature (unless of course there is sufficient capacity to do it in parallel).
All of our teams don't follow the same sprint intervals, is that configurable?
Yes, in the people tab, there is a column called "Team schedule". If you drop down this value for a team, you can configure the sprint interval.
Portfolio for Jira で 1 つのストーリーに複数のユーザーを割り当てることはできますか?
Yes, Portfolio for Jira allows multi-assign on stories. The maximum number of people that will be assigned to a single story is configurable in the settings.
When you assign an initiative to multiple teams, does it assume that all teams will work on it, or that the initiative can be picked up by any of the selected teams? For the latter, could Portfolio for Jira suggest the best team(s) to work on the initiative?
Currently there are two options for team assignments: (a) assign exactly one team, then this one will work on it exclusively, or (b) don't assign a team at all, in this case Portfolio for Jira will suggest the best team(s) to work on it, based on who can deliver it the fastest. In case of epics, multiple teams will be assigned if possible, a story is always assigned to a single team.
Can you specify people starting work ahead in time (future capacity)?
In a way, the whole scheduling is focused on future capacity planning. If you put in an effort estimate and available capacity of a resource in a timeframe, this work item will be automatically scheduled into this future capabity block. You can use an earliest start date constraint to define if items can only start after a certain point in the future. What you cannot do currently is to specify a targeted start and end date manually for a piece of work - start and end dates are always forecasted dynamically based on the resources and constraints.
If the team that works on a specific initiative is not important, can Portfolio for Jira suggest the best team(s) to assign to that initiative based on the schedule?
Yes, if you don't assign a team manually, Portfolio for Jira will make an automatic assignment and suggest the team(s) who can deliver it the fastest.
If you have dependencies, and you change the dates, will all dependencies update automatically?
Yes, if there are dependencies between work items and any of them changes in the schedule, the others are automatically adjusted.
How I can change the release period?
In the releases tab you can enter releases, and define start and end dates (either fixed or dynamic/relative dates) for each release. In addition, in the people section you can configure the sprint cadence for each team (e.g. 2 week sprints or 3 week sprints)
What would be the best approach to model fixed duration tasks? E.g. having a test phase of 4 weeks that is done by external testers, not part of your team? I would rather not have to create virtual people to model the testers.
There are two options to do this: Either use a release for this time period (and don't bother too much about time capacity within this release, instead use it to make sure the dependent work in the next release/phase does not start too early), or you could also put in a blocker epic for the external testing effort, and use an earliest start date constraint for the time it is being delivered. Using an earliest start date is a bit counter-intuitive, but it basically means that since the blocker item does not have any efforts, it can both start and finish on that date, and you can set a dependency from other epics waiting on this testing effort to be done.
Can you manually update a story map for a release? By that, I mean can I move stories around on the story map view?
No, this is currently not supported by Portfolio for Jira. Sprint assignments are determined dynamically by the scheduling algorithm based on priority and available capacity.
What's the best way to deal with interruptions (i.e. sprint impediments) in the plan? Should the team change their estimates to factor in the delay?
It depends on the desired outcome. One way is not to worry about it during the sprint, and instead do a plan update (Plan > Update from date) after the sprint to see what has actually been achieved which is probably less than what was originally planned, and after that re-plan based on the remaining effort. If you want to evaluate the impact during a sprint, the best way would probably be to put in an absence for the concerned team members to indicate they were unavailble for the desired feature work for certain days, and the schedule will adjust automatically.
Can I use Portfolio for Jira with projects with traditional methodologies, not just Agile?
Generally yes, even though the focus of the design has been on agile PPM. Nevertheless, you can, for instance, use separate releases to represent project milestones or phases, and assign work to each of the phases to ensure it happens in the proper order.
How does the calculation of multiple skills work? i.e French speaking analyst or someone who can do either design or analysis.
Every resource can have an arbitrary number of skills. For each backlog item, the person or group of people is picked who can deliver it fastest. If a single person doesn't have all the required skills, multiple people will be assigned to a story. Portfolio for Jira optimizes the allocation based on available and required skills for the items in the backlog.
How does the scheduler resolve resource conflicts with simultaneous users with shared resources?
Within one Portfolio plan, resources can never be overbooked. There is always a deterministic "winner" as to who gets a resource assigned, based on the priority in the backlog. If multiple backlog items require the same resources, the lower priority one will be pushed out in the schedule automatically until there is an open slot.

Palm Springs. Me. Marc. Some random medical conference. Four days. Re-connection. Sleep. Spiritual re-fueling. Belated ten-year anniversary getaway. Long overdue.
Slept in every day until, let's just say around noonish. I mean, what, really was I expected to do every morning with Marc having the car and being gone until after lunch? Go running? Exactly.
Read TWO, yes, two actual adult books. Not magazines. The Return of Jonah Gray, and These Is My Words, which I was particularly besotted with. Thanks s.i.l. Steph!
Room service breakfast (to break up my reading/dozing marathon).
Shopping. WITH McSweetie. Who detests shopping.
Let's just say that no weight was lost on this trip, what with the amazing dining that Palm Springs has to offer. Did I HAVE to eat all the muffins that came in the basket with breakfast? Sure did. New Year's Resolution 2008 Addendum: I hereby pledge to practice more moderation next time.
Cavorted around the grounds in my bathrobe shooting photos with our new camera.
Took the revolving tram to the top of the San Jacinto Mts, which took about 15 minutes to go from a sunny 75 degrees to a windy 30 degrees and 2 feet of snow. Good thing I browbeat Marc into putting on long pants and putting his fleece and some gloves into the backpack. We hiked for awhile until we got hypothermic and took the tram back down the mountain to sunny Palm Springs. This was not part of my "sleep-too-much" goal.
Fell in l.o.v.e. with the inn where we stayed--an old 50s rambling ranch house that had been converted into an inn--can't believe I'm drawing a blank on the name.
Eternal gracias to Steph and Nae and Janet and Lorin for watching the kids so we felt like we could take off and get away together. Really. thanks.

Peyton Manning unanimous choice for 2013 all-pro team
NEW YORK (AP) — Peyton Manning was the only unanimous choice for the 2013 Associated Press NFL All-Pro team Friday. It was his seventh time as a first-teamer, tying Hall of Famer Otto Graham for the most by a quarterback.
The Denver star set NFL records this season with 55 touchdown passes and 5,477 yards through the air.
He was chosen on all 50 ballots from media members who regularly cover the NFL. Manning also was an all-pro for Indianapolis in 2003, '04, '05, '08 and '09 and last season made it as a Bronco. He's been on the all-pro team in both seasons since missing 2011 after several neck surgeries.
"I think it's well documented that this is the second chapter of my career, and didn't know what to expect off that injury and new team, new players and new physical state after an injury," said Manning, a four-time league MVP. "So I had no idea what to expect, and I've put a lot of time and a lot of hard work in to it. But I've received a lot of help along the way from coaches and trainers and strength coaches and teammates. So I'm very grateful."
Manning still has a ways to go to set the record for most all-pro appearances at any position. Among the players ahead of him is Hall of Fame receiver Jerry Rice with 10.
New Orleans tight end Jimmy Graham and Indianapolis outside linebacker Robert Mathis each drew 49 votes. Philadelphia running back LeSean McCoy and Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman had 48.
Minnesota kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson was the only rookie on the squad.
Eighteen NFC players and nine from the AFC made the team. Carolina and Philadelphia each had three: linebacker Luke Kuechly, center Ryan Kalil and fullback Mike Tolbert for the Panthers; NFL rushing leader McCoy, guard Evan Mathis and tackle Jason Peters for the coach Chip Kelly's Eagles.
"Just when Chip came here, we knew we were going to run the ball," McCoy said. "The linemen, they've all been healthy this whole year. They've been blocking so well for me and without those guys, it's not possible."
Only two members of the top teams in each conference made the All-Pro team. Joining Manning from the Broncos (13-3) was guard Louis Vasquez. Joining Sherman from the Seahawks (13-3) was safety Earl Thomas.
"It is very special, especially in a special season," Sherman said. "If you're having a special season and your team has four wins or five wins, I'm sure it doesn't feel as good. But when your team is winning, your defense is No. 1 in every category and you're just contributing, you're not even trying to do anything special individually, you're just contributing to the entire group. It really feels special. And with the chance to do what we have a chance to do this year, it would be fantastic."
Unlike Sherman, many of the players chosen did not enjoy huge team success this season: 12 of the 27 failed to make the playoffs.

|Introduction to Justice Studies, LE
|Overview of the purposes of the justice system. Introduction to the principal institutions and the law. The relationship of justice studies to society and introduction to the issues facing the justice system today.
|Community Justice
|This course is designed to provide understanding to students regarding the meaning of social justice and community building to advocate for social equity. In regard to Justice Studies social equity is vital to the liberation of marginalized communities. This course is aimed at teaching students the history, theory and practice realities of community building locally and globally through discussion and exploration. This course will have a service learning component with a nonprofit organization focused on providing junior high school students with the information, skills and understanding for college preparation through the mentoring of college students. Students will learn to critically analyze current social and economic conditions that are embedded in US societal structures. They will gain knowledge and insight of issues underlying oppression while learning approaches to social equity and advocacy. Students will study policy and politics that influence social injustices based on race, ethnicity, socio-cultural and gender characteristics.
|Special Topics in Justice Studies
|The exploration of issues, problems, and innovations in Justice Studies. Prerequisites will vary with course content. Prerequisite: JUST 101 or permission of instructor.
|Critical Theory
|Critical refers to various bodies of theory: psychoanalysis, the Frankfurt School, deconstruction, critical race studies, queer theory, feminist theory, postcolonial theory, and intersectionality that interrogate the essentialist assumptions that underlie social identities. "Justice" refers to an extra juridical concept of fairness that is focused on exposing and ending social inequalities. The aim of the Critical Theory course is to promote understanding of how categories such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and class help people recognize and combat injustices. The Critical pedagogy in this course aims to develop collective critical consciousness for the purpose of transforming oppressive socio-political conditions. Students will analyze and critique theories of the Frankfurt School and the emancipatory works of Paulo Freire, and bell hooks.
|Law and Society
|This course explores the relationship between the legal system, law, and current controversial issues in society as they relate to race, ethnicity, class, and gender. Students will learn to analyze contemporary American legal issues using the theories of Durkheim, Marx, and Weber in addition to critical legal studies and critical race theory.
|Judicial Process
|This course examines the judicial process as a mechanism for dispute resolution in both civil and criminal contexts. Students will explore how judges interpret, make, and enforce the law in the face of external social and political pressure.
|Women, Work, and Justice
|This course focuses on women's experiences with work experiences and justice in America. The course is centered on the social construction of gender in our society and its impact upon the creation of law. This is an advanced undergraduate course in feminist economic social justice.
|Environmental Justice
|This course provides an upper-division intensive reading and critique of environmental justice materials. An emerging national environmental justice movement has created frameworks for combating the inequitably distributed health risks of advanced industrial society. This course links disparate impact, unequal protection, and environmental discrimination in relation to issues of class, gender and race. Topics relate societal practices as they affect environmental racism, future generations, nonhuman life, and global/non-Western societies.
|Criminal Law
|Critical examination that focuses on the structure and elements of criminal law. In-depth examination of evidence and jurisdiction. Close examination of the Constitution and its impact on federal and state criminal statues is accomplished through the analysis of case law.
|Economic Justice
|The importance of economic justice stems from the scarcity of resources: how should society allocate resources to achieve the social good? Invariably, questions of justice involve tradeoffs between fairness and efficiency. Such questions are inextricably related to religion, class, gender, poverty, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and so on. The course examines the concept of justice from the points of view of pre-market economies, classical liberalism, neo-classical economics, heterodox economics, Kenneth Arrow, John Rawls, Amartya Sen, among others. Prerequisites: ECON 105 or 253 or 263, or consent of instructor. Same as ECON/PHIL 365.
|Legislation of Morality
|This course addresses historical and contemporary issues related to social justice movements, law, and morality in a pluralistic society. This course examines issues relative to the construction of deviance at it relates to homosexuality and prostitution. Students will explore also how racial discrimination is legislated and perpetrated as a societal practice.
|Justice and Mass Media
|This course analyzes the images of justice that are presented through the major mass media within America to develop a critical understanding of the production, use, and consequences of propaganda for social life. In particular, justice in movies, television dramas, plus television news and newspaper crime coverage will be the major sources of data for uncovering how the media portray society's struggle with the problem of justice. Students will develop research, writing, and analytical skills for media investigation. Throughout the course students will discuss whether the media portrayals of justice that are accepted by the public make it difficult for a more honest account of the justice problem to be heard.
|Immigration and Justice
|This course will focus on the diversity of contemporary issues of U.S. immigration. Although we will start with a historical overview, the emphasis will be on contemporary issues, such as the origins and destination of (past and present) immigrants, conditions under which immigration takes place, politics of admission and immigration law, undocumented immigration, the labor force participation of immigrants, gender, family, and the children of immigrants. This course will be dealing with the topic of justice set against intensified global mobility and greater economic, political, cultural and technological interaction. Students will examine different perspectives on global migration and justice, contemplate our ethical and political responsibilities to migrants, as well as engage ongoing debates regarding the permanency and importance of political borders in an era of intense globalization.
|Restorative Justice
|This course examines the philosophies and practices of restorative justice from both domestic and international perspectives. The course introduces major values and goals espoused by restorative approaches to crime and conflict and consider them in light of past and current social problems. The contemporary social movement called restorative justice has its roots in early philosophies of the New Zealand Maori, North American Indians, and various religious traditions. The course will consider these philosophical roots of restorative traditions and be introduced to what these approaches look like in their current form of sentencing circles, family group conferencing, and victim-offender dialogue.
|Directed Studies
|A tutorial-based course used only for student-initiated proposals for intensive individual study of topics not otherwise offered in Justice Studies. Prerequisite: consent of instructor and school dean.
|This course analyzes forms of punishment; how and why they have changed. This course is interdisciplinary in nature, incorporating discussions of the philosophical, historical, and social aspects of punishment.
|Undergraduate Research in Justice Studies
|Students develop a research proposal describing a study in the community making use of qualitative research methods of investigation.

The 18-hour, Taliban-led onslaught on Sunday that rocked parts of Afghanistan, including the heavily fortified heart of its capital, Kabul, is being spun in different directions by those locked in the struggle over the war-torn country. Taliban elders crowed that the audacious attacks were just the latest evidence of their fighters' ability to hoodwink the local and international forces arrayed against them — landing yet another psychological blow against an occupying army heading out the door by 2014 with no clear victory in sight.
Adding to the unease, Afghan President Hamid Karzai blamed the raid on intelligence failures "especially [on the part of] NATO" — hardly a ringing endorsement of his would-be protectors. Reporters in Kabul, including TIME's John Wendle, detailed the resignation and fatalism of some Afghans, who see the continued conflict as a direct outcome of foreign occupation. When asked whether the attacks were carried out by Taliban combatants or by agents of the notorious Pakistan-based Haqqani network, one Afghan official told TIME: "There is no difference. They are all enemy. They are all on the same side, fighting us. They fight because the U.S. and NATO are here."
(PHOTOS: A Long and Distant War: Photos from Afghanistan, 1988–2009)
NATO officials in Brussels had to sing from a completely different song sheet, though, emphasizing the role Afghan troops played in repelling the raid. Briefing the press on Monday, NATO spokeswoman Oana Lungescu said: "These attacks were planned, coordinated and they grabbed the headlines, but they did not cause mass casualties, and we have the Afghan forces to thank for that." Lungescu went on praise the "growing capabilities" of the Afghan security forces, whose ability to tackle the long-standing Taliban insurgency is still very much in question.
In Brussels, it's clear to all that the future and legacy of NATO's decadelong mission in Afghanistan hinge on the integrity and strength of the Afghan army. To compensate for the impending departures of coalition forces, NATO plans to help Afghan troop numbers "surge" to an expected 352,000 men by October this year. Afghan forces have been handed direct control of large swaths of the country, including Kabul province. And, at least in NATO's messaging, confidence in the Afghan security establishment has never been higher.
Addressing a handful of reporters on Monday, a top-ranking NATO official spoke of the challenge ahead. "It's not surprising to us that there is still a determined adversary in Afghanistan, determined to cause maximum havoc and maximum harm," he said. "But what happened [Sunday] in many ways is a reaffirmation that the strategy we are on is a strategy that is working."
(MORE: Don't Be Afraid of the Dark: What the End of U.S. Night Raids Means for Afghanistan)
The official went on: "The kind of thing that we saw in Kabul [Sunday] is very different than the occupation and holding of territory that used to be the case [earlier in Helmand province and other parts of the country]. We are shifting the fight from a fight over territory to a fight of dealing with people who are trying to use terrorist methods. We see that as progress over time and [a reflection] of Afghans taking the measure of their own security."
Yet, as NATO prepares for a pivotal summit in Chicago this May, serious doubts hover over the alliance and its mission in Afghanistan. By the time of the conference, France, a key member state, may have elected a new President who has said he would withdraw his country's soldiers ahead of schedule from their West Asian deployment. An internal report reviewing the alliance's campaign in Libya — hailed by some in Brussels as proof positive of NATO's vitality — spotlighted the organization's continued overreliance on American capabilities; Washington tried to disguise its involvement in the 2011 intervention as that of a backseat driver. Europe's new era of austerity has accelerated the continent's already waning interest in foreign imbroglios. Shrinking defense budgets have forced NATO officials to start peddling the term smart defense — a scheme for shared security strategies that optimistically aims to do more with less.
In Afghanistan, meanwhile, it remains hard to see any resolution of the war with the Taliban without peace talks and political reconciliation — a subject that was conspicuously absent in a number of briefings in Brussels on the situation in Afghanistan. Even as NATO praises the Afghan security forces that its member states have spent years training, "green on blue" shootings of coalition soldiers by rogue Afghan personnel continue. That's a symptom not only of years of conflict and agony in a nation but also of a quagmire NATO and its partners are now fitfully trying to escape.

The FailOverflow hacker team revealed a flaw in the PS3 a few days ago at the 27C3 hackers conference in December 2010. Initially, Sony was not interested in commenting on the hack. However, in a recent reply to the Edge magazine, Sony has confirmed the matter saying,
We are aware of this, and are currently looking into it. We will fix the issues through network updates, but because this is a security issue, we are not able to provide you with any more details.
While Sony has confirmed the fix through a network update, FailOver believes that the hardware is compromised and no amount of software fixes can work in this case.
Pytey from the FailOver team throws light on the hack saying,
We will fix the issues through network updates, but because this is a security issue, we are not able to provide you with any more details. Applied correctly, it would take billions of years to derive the private key from the public key, or to make a signature without knowing the private key, even when you have all the computational power in the world at your disposal. The signing recipe requires that a random number be used as part of the calculation, with the caveat that that number must be truly random and not predictable in any way. However, Sony wrote their own signing software, which used a constant number for each signature.
The hack allows developers to create and sign their own apps to run on the PS3. Sony might be gearing up to fight this in court but FailOver has an upper hand in the matter being an ethical hacker.

Obama's jobs council shutting down Thursday
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama will let his jobs council expire this week without renewing its charter, winding down one source of input from the business community even as unemployment remains stubbornly high.
When Obama in January 2011 formed his Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, unemployment was hovering above 9 percent. Two years president later, more than 12 million people in the U.S. are out of work. The unemployment rate has improved to 7.8 percent, but both parties agree that's still too high.
A provision in Obama's executive order establishing the council says it sunsets on Thursday. A White House official said the president does not plan to extend it.
Officials said the president always intended for the council to fulfill its mission and then wind down, and said that Obama would continue to actively engage and seek input from business leaders about ways to accelerate job-creation and economic growth. Among the steps Obama plans to pursue are expedited permits for infrastructure projects, the White House said.
Even before it was clear whether Obama would renew the jobs council, Republicans seized on its likely expiration as evidence the president has devoted insufficient attention to creating jobs, which polling shows remains a top priority for Americans. The Republican National Committee dubbed it part of "the failed Obama record," while the House Republicans' campaign committee, in an online petition, accused Obama of laying off his own jobs council.
Adding to the concern about the job market's continued vulnerability, the Commerce Department said Wednesday that the U.S. economy shrank at an annual rate of 0.1 percent from October through December of last year, the first quarterly drop since 2009.
The jobs council was a successor to another economic advisory board Obama created at the onset of his presidency. The panel was chaired by General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt and was comprised of prominent business leaders and economists.
Obama met with the council only a handful of times. During the last meeting, in February 2012, the president and the council highlighted an engineering education initiative alongside school deans.
The jobs council's main work product was report released in January 2012, entitled "Roadmap to Renewal." The council also organized a series of "listening and action" meetings across the country last year with business owners, local elected officials and academics, although Obama didn't attend those sessions.
Critics have argued that the council's primary purpose was to create the appearance of action at a time when the nation was pining for something -- anything -- to rein in soaring joblessness. The administration acted on many of the council's recommendations, including suggestions for streamlining the permitting process. But the White House was at odds with several council members on tax policies, particularly a proposal to exclude overseas corporate earnings from U.S. taxes. That idea divided even the jobs council, whose membership included labor and Obama's political allies.
The council's dissolution also comes as White House aides are optimistic about the prospects for a second-term detente with the business community, which bristled during Obama's first term at his harsh depiction of "fat-cat bankers" and his efforts to impose regulations, tax policies and spending initiatives they argued were unfriendly to business. Obama aides hope the softening of the relationship between the president and the business world can benefit the White House in future fiscal debates with Republicans.
White House officials said the president made a fresh effort to reach out to business in the days following his re-election. Between the November election and the end of 2012, in the height of negotiations to avert the so-called fiscal cliff, more than 400 business leaders, ranging from CEOs of large multinational companies to small business owners, met with Obama or his aides at the White House, officials said.
Associated Press writer Jim Kuhnhenn and AP White House Correspondent Julie Pace contributed to this report.

Welcome to New Mexico's Health Information Exchange
Healthcare coordination and sharing of data is critical to improving wellness for all New Mexicans
NMHIC provides a statewide Health Information Exchange (HIE) that allows authorized healthcare professionals with patient consent to quickly access the patient's history in one centralized record. An average person sees 18 different doctors in his or her lifetime, so it's easy to see how vital patient history can get lost in the shuffle. This lack of data sharing reduces quality of care, increases cost and potentially puts lives at risk.

An emergency message telling passengers to "Leave the Terminal" accidentally appeared for about eight minutes Monday.
LOS ANGELES — Officials say a contractor at Los Angeles International Airport accidentally made flight-status signs read "Emergency Leave the Terminal."
Airport spokeswoman Nancy Castles said in a statement that shortly before 10 p.m. Monday airline workers at the Tom Bradley International Terminal reported that signs were displaying the pre-programmed emergency message.
The message was stopped after about eight minutes.
Castles says no alarms went off and there were no reports of anyone evacuating.
An investigation revealed that an airline contract employee authorized to access the system accidentally activated the message.
Castles said the airport looks for ways to ensure similar accidents don't happen again.
The message came amid long flight delays because of federal budget cuts and a rash of false bomb scares that have led to evacuations of stores and schools.

Apple is shedding the "Pro" or "Air" designation for their newest MacBook design, and instead simply calling it the "MacBook". It's very much an ultra-portable that is going to be targeting the premium ultrabook market. Specs:
- 12" Retina display running at a resolution of 2304x1440 (1152x720 pixel doubled)
- Intel "Broadwell" CPU running at 1.1 GHz (options for 1.2 and 1.3 GHz)
- Intel HD 5300 graphics
- 256 GB SSD (config up to 512 GB)
- 13.1 mm / 0.54" thick
- 2.03 pounds
- Fanless design
Updated 13" Retina Macbook Pros:
The 13" rMBP's have seen a spec bump in order to feature "Broadwell" chips from Intel as well as increased graphics
- CPU's upgraded to latest Broadwell architecture with options for dual core i5 2.7 Ghz, dual core i5 2.9 Ghz, or dual core i7 3.1 GHz
- Graphics upgraded to Intel HD 6100
What to Expect From The New Processors:
Intel 5th generation of Core i processors (codenamed Broadwell) offer small performance gains over Haswell. The main draw of Broadwell is the energy saving it allows, which should translate into longer battery life for laptops.
Ars Technica Broadwell Preview
What to Expect from the HD 6100 vs the HD 5200:
The HD 6100 has not yet been benchmarked, but it should offer substantial performance gains over the HD 5200. Do not expect designated graphics performance that can be found in the 15" Retina or the iMac, but expect a nice boost compared to previous Intel integrated solutions.

The Newberry is home to a world-class collection of millions of books, manuscript pages, and maps—a wealth of primary sources for English and history teachers. Yet finding the time to research the collections can be a challenge for busy educators. To facilitate access to this archive, the Newberry teacher programs staff has collaborated with scholars and university faculty to develop Digital Collections for the Classroom.
Newberry Digital Collections for the Classroom are thematic collections of primary-source documents selected from the Newberry's extensive holdings and developed in conjunction with our professional development seminars. They are designed to be easily incorporated into classroom teaching and to support the development of skills emphasized in the Common Core State Standards. Each collection includes high-resolution digital images of documents representing a variety of genres from maps, photographs, and cartoons to poems, speeches, and travel narratives. Newberry staff researches and organizes the documents and provides contextual introductions, discussion questions, and bibliographic information for each collection. Staff continually creates new collections throughout each program year. These sources are available over the new website, where visitors can search and download individual items or entire collections, and will soon be able to create and share their own document collections.
Newberry Digital Collections for the Classroom offer teachers an easy way to incorporate primary sources into the humanities classroom and to engage their students in the exciting, challenging process of interdisciplinary historical research.

Britain needs a "radical" overhaul of its scandal-plagued banking sector as well as the introduction of new laws that will make it possible to jail bankers for "reckless misconduct" and force bankers to wait up to 10 years to receive their bonuses, said the UK's Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards on Tuesday.
In its long awaited report on banking reforms, the Commission, set up last year after a number of scandals involving the industry, said "too many bankers, especially at the senior levels, have operated in an environment with insufficient personal responsibility."
"Senior executives were aware that they would not be punished for what they could not see and promptly donned the blindfolds."
The Commission said senior bankers should be assigned clear personal responsibilities, with the legal onus on them to show they have done all that is reasonably required, and recommended a new criminal offence of "reckless misconduct in the management of a bank" which would carry a jail sentence for the most serious cases.
"Senior bankers who seriously damage their banks or put taxpayers' money at risk can expect to be fined, banned from the industry, or, in the worst cases, go to jail," said Andrew Tyrie, chairman of the Commission, adding that drastic reforms were the only way to restore trust in banks.
The reputation of Britain's banking sector has been damaged in recent years by a string of scandals, including Libor rate-rigging, credit insurance mis-selling, and controversy over staff behaviour and bonuses in the run-up to the 2008 global financial crisis

"Taxpayers and customers have lost out. The economy has suffered. The reputation of the financial sector has been gravely damaged. Trust in banking has fallen to a new low," said the report.
The Commission also recommend giving regulators new powers to defer remuneration for bankers for up to 10 years, in order to "reflect the longer run balance between business risks and rewards". "It is not just bankers that need to change. The actions of regulators and governments have contributed to the decline in standards," Tyrie said.
The UK Chancellor is expected broadly to endorse the Commission's findings, calling the report a "very impressive piece of work."
"The Government publicly welcomes the commission's recommendations on increased personal responsibility, especially at a senior level, increased professional judgment by regulators and better functioning markets. We will now get on with a swift response and will report before the summer recess," said a spokesman for the Treasury.
