Seattle, Washington - 2013
The 2012/2013 Exchange had 26 members. The Fall Exchange occurred on October 4, 2012 - 18 of the 26 members submitted lists. A total number of 6640 issues representing 2295 distinct titles were offered. The three most offered titles were AALL Spectrum (132 issues), Virginia Law Review (131 issues) and Journal of Legal Education (116 issues). The titles offered by the most members were DePaul Law Review (13) Journal of Legal Education (12), and Law Library Journal (12).
Renewals were sent in January 2013 for the 2013 calendar year. 18 of the 26 members renewed, $180 was paid to database administrator Wayne Schneider, the remaining $360 was retained by TS-SIS.
The Spring Exchange occurred on May 22, 2013 - 14 of the 18 members submitted lists. A total number of 7039 issues representing 2295 distinct titles were offered. The three most offered titles were ABA Journal (223 items), Journal of Legal Education (136 isuues) and AALL Spectrum (129 issues). The titles offered by the most participating institutions were ABA Journal (11), Journal of Legal Education (11), Law Library Journal Review (11) and Mississippi Law Journal (11).
While the Exchange of Duplicates Program continues to be profitable, membership continues to decline every year. Those members that do renew utilize the exchange and regularly express appreciation for the program. Regretfully, despite the decline in membership, the work required to maintain the program has remained somewhat constant. It might be time to consider reducing the exchange to once a year or to determine a threshold number at which point the program would no longer be considered viable.
Respectfully submitted by,
Patricia Roncevich Chair, Exchange of Duplicates Program - 2012/2013 Serials Committee TS-SIS July 10, 2013

Healers status un Mop

Post by
Hi all,
I'm comcing back to the game because some friends of mine asked for an healer and i wanted to know what's the status both performance wise and "how fun to play" are the healer classes.
I've got every every healing class at 85 since cataclysm and i can pick any of them so i'm undecided on which to play. I'm more inclined for paladin or priest though.
Post by
Personally, I am enjoying healing on my paladin more than ever before. I like the spells that pallys have and I'm pretty good at keeping my mana up using seal of insight. I know there are people who won't agree, but I personally enjoy it more than others. I have an 85 resto shaman that I haven't touched in awhile because I am in love with my pally now.
Post by
Sincerly I love all the healer classes, beside druids :P. It's pretty easy to heal nowadays (dungeons and heroic dungeons wise) and raid wise they perform pretty equal (disci priest ahead tho).
I'd say play the class you enjoy the most ;)

I am making an installation in Jitter. Max is reading from Arduino values between 0 and 1. If the person goes by the sensor, the Xfade object gets a value of one. If there is no one in front of the sensor, there is a constant value of 0. When the x-fade gets the value of one, an 8 second video plays. Therefore, i have to create a delay function that keeps the video playing after the xfade is triggered. The problem that i am running into, is that the objects i am using, such as Pipe and Delay, produce delays for the 0 and the 1. I only want the delay when the number switches from 1 to 0 and not from 0 to 1. How can i make this happen? thank you,
check [togedge] for quick zero-to-1 (and vice versa) transition detection. has separate outputs for each transition. let me know if this sorts you out….
Billy, thanks a lot. It worked beautifully! I took the [togedge] object, hooked up two bangs to it, and threw a [delay] object on the bang that emits the 0, Worked perfectly. Thanks again.

Hi there, If you already have a facebook account, please join the \"law school\" group, for discussions about anything regarding law school..Please click on the link below and invite as many friends as you can. I wish you well on your apps. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=15451624644
- AKyeah but for some reason you're getting more fee waivers! not cool. lol. Nothing from Columbia =( I did get the fee waiver, but no priority track at Duke. sigh.
- koopatroopaHow did you go about getting those sweet fee waivers? Did you apply through LSAC for those or did the school offer them to you after receiving your app?
- WildcatDTCongrats on the Duke acceptance! You have great numbers. Good luck on your cycle!
- AnnaBeansLSD 2008 cycle FB Group http://www.new.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=32208637&id=5301439#/group.php?gid=26693939444 (LSD is down, figured I'd send it to you here)
- MaskedGingerOn the Duke acceptance Lucas and good luck for the rest of your cycle though of course, I'm sure you don't need it!
- meggoYour numbers are obviously way better than mine, but I feel the same way about not having any debt and being torn between wanting to do something I think I love yet still wanting to be around when I eventually have kids. Good luck to you.
- swmontgomeryI'm an Eastern undergrad. I think I wrote on your lawschooldiscussion post a while back. I see that you did extraordinarily well on the LSAT. How did you like Vanderbilt? As for me, I'll be hoping for UK, but Chase is probably going to give me close to a full-tuition scholarship, so that would be hard to turn down.
- lawbound09hey man, you might want to consider applying to Stanford you'd have a great shot
- mcdsWell, I plan to practice here, so it only makes sense to go to law school here. I have no plans to apply to anything other than these 4 schools. I am debt averse, so graduating without debt from a state school seems to be a good decision to me. Granted, I don't have an amazing LSAT, but I am just trying to be realisitc. I think I might even want to go home to practice law, which is in a tiny KY town, so I doubt anyone is going to care where I went to school. Obviously if I wanted to work in a large firm I would apply to more. Quality of life is more important to me than money alone. Good luck with everything!
- lawbound09I had to email them for them to tell me that my application was complete.
- DantimreynoldsHey I've run into the same glitch when changing dates sometimes. I found the only way to fix it was to delete and add the application again.
- AnnaBeansActually, I graduated last year. I have been asked to judge one of those new semi-national things (i don't get this new system, im old) so good luck, do well, and maybe i'll be ur judge!
- anonymousthought i was signed in, wasn't. that last post was from me.
- Dantimreynoldswhat does one do to get that many fee waivers. Is there a process?
- lynnTo the poster above- there really isn't a process. Just be registered for the LSDAS and have the numbers schools are looking for.
- LucasHumbleThanks for the well wishes Lucas. I hope you great luck on this cycle as well (you've already had success with Duke!). Good luck on getting that huge scholly at Vandy! I'll arm wrestle you to see who's more debt averse ;-)
- Katfid54Amazing that youre in and sooo early in the cycle.. congrats! Have they offered any money?
- soldivaThe dean wrote me an email asking me to call him, and then informed me over the phone. There wasn't any indication in the email of the nature of our imminent conversation. I wasn't really sure what to expect.
- caulfieldhvCongrats on your acceptances and a great LSN page. Don't go to UK, Lexington is awful, haha! Take care, A Fellow Kentuckian
- HongKongWhere's your update on Vandy? :) Congratulations!!!
- mightyaphroditeI got accepted to UK today! Congrats on Vandy (I saw on the other board) and good luck deciding where to go!
- lawbound09Congrats on Michigan. You just keep piling up the acceptances! So I know you love Vandy, but if you get into Harvard, what would you do? It's awesome you have those kinds of opportunities, I'm just happy to get into UK : ) It's nice to see a fellow KY public regional school student do so well.
- lawbound09Early congrats on the Vandy scholarship. I hope they throw lots of money at you in February! Good luck.
- working925Congrats so far! Similar schools and numbers, good luck!
- mccoyknlfythiyn http://wlppjuvs.com unpaqzqr xrbritdo ecfzsnsx [URL=http://yencfpua.com]kodehqgr[/URL]
- fecwyukdthanks, Lucas! congrats on everything (especially Michigan- i'm so jealous, lol) and best of luck hearing back from the rest! :)
- SouthernElleso, according to LSN, we're going to be the only people at Emory next year! I feel special, hehe.
- SouthernElleIf you don't mind me asking, why do you think you were waitlisted at Virginia? You seems like you have great numbers for them. I'm waiting to hear back, so it has me a bit nervous.
- tommyb119hahaha I don't think you have to worry about me being a gunner. ;) (you also don't have to worry about me being at emory at all if they yield protect the $$$ like i've heard- we'll see!)
- SouthernElleI can't believe your numbers got you waitlisted at UVA. Oh well, I would go to Vandy over them anyway if I were you. Are you still thinking about UK if they give you a full ride? I am probably not going to get any money with my LSAT, but I am happy to be in and am about 95% sure I will be in Lexington next fall.
- lawbound09thanks for the good luck wishes! congrats on all your acceptances! Your numbers are awesome :)
- kylaw2009Congrats on the WUSTL acceptance, hopefully they'll give you enough money to entice you to come here...I suspect they'll give it a pretty good shot. Drop me a line if you have any questions about the school, best of luck with the rest of the cycle. Don't count yourself out at H or C yet, although I can't begin to understand why you're more interested in Columbia than UChicago :)
- DadricCongrats on your great cycle and good luck next year. Any chance you want to withdraw from anywhere. . . especially Mich? ;)
- ejf11I can't guarantee I'd attend if accepted. Financial aid is going to play a huge role in my decision. Nevertheless, I'm incredibly excited. Also, not necessarily a clean sweep. I have some hidden apps that I'll disclose soon enough :)
- mightyaphroditeyou look to be doing pretty damn good for yourself as well. i also did mock trial! save bobbie campbell! is vanderbilt a lock for you or are you leaning toward somewhere else? that michigan scholarship is pretty sweet, right?
- logickillswell i live in brooklyn, so i'm leaning toward NYU, but scholarship offers from duke (my home state) or georgetown (<3 DC) would certainly hold a lot of sway. holding out hope for a call from harvard, but as the days go by that hope gets smaller and smaller. come on barack, make HLS show me some love!
- logickillsI made a mistake by listing the scholarship money from W&L as being from WashU. I still haven't heard back from WashU about funding. PS: congrats on your acceptances!
- LawBound2009I'm sure you will do well at UK. I'm expecting some flack for choosing Iowa over Michigan.
- true5081ZOMG DID YOU C TEH USNWR RANKINGZ??!!1 Lol, just kidding man, congrat on the decision and the awesome cycle. I'm sure you'll love it at UK, good luck!
- MaskedGingerYeah, the process still doesnt seem real, I can't believe I'll be moving in just a couple months! So what changed your mind about Vandy? Judging by your LSD name I thought you'd be stoked by their offer! I can understand your decision, paying the $$$ for a top school is great if you have biglaw aspirations to pay it off, no sense racking up debt if your looking for a job that would be possible from either school. I was considering doing the same thing, but my local schools weren't as generous (Villanova and Rutgers).
- MaskedGingerCongrats on Kentucky. Wow, you had some awesome choices! but I won't hate on you for going to the best school in your home state, and debt free too!
- futurelawyergirlDude I applaud your decision. UK is an excellent choice.

Featured in Holy Crop!
When Rikk Flohr first contacted my via a private message at Deviant Art to let me know that he was featuring my blog I had mixed reservations. But after reading a few posts at
Holy Crop!
I realized that Rikk was basically saying what I have (that you need to get it right with the camera) and he's not a priest in the church of "fix it in post". Go on over and give it his blog a read!

In the third world, that potato would never have been left for three days. And even if it had, it would have been eaten without a second thought. - 1/1/12, 7:58 AM

I like the new dementia-friendly approach too, linking to the immediately previously post, just in case your readers already forgot what they had just read.
Hopefully, we'll also be seeing closed captioning as an option for the new year!
(I know, I know the link is probably for the blog archives where posts don't always show up next to each other in the same ways) - 1/1/12, 9:06 AM

Flickr changed its address of the original photos from containing static.flickr to just staticflickr starting in December 2011.
Which matters if you're archiving your archive each month and fetch the images as well, against the possibility of either blogger or flickr deleting your account one day.
I needed two more lines
sed '/staticflickr/s//static.flickr/'
sed '/static.flickr/s//staticflickr/'
to fix my archive script. - 1/1/12, 9:23 AM

Life is a series of inconsequential events. The slow erosion of banality and insignificance upon our souls is irrevocable and diminishing. Thank God for musings upon the constitutional rights of Gitmo detainees. To fret about such things is so much more ennobling than the teeny weeny decisions we make about old baked potatoes and whether or not we need to trim our toenails.

Vitamin C, Vitamin B-6, Potassium: why the prejudice against the spud?

Trimming my toenails is a soul lifter for me.

See, if you had a dog, you'd know it would go into the dog's bowl.
All my dogs love eating leftovers.
Look on the bright side. It's soft inside. It's no longer raw. And, lucky it didn't drop to the bottom of the oven ... or it could have stayed in place, cooking alongside other things. And, by the time someone cleaned out the oven ... it would look like a lump of coal.
By the way, is this the beginnings of potato salad? A cold potato. And, a cook. And, as Julia Child said: NO ONE IS IN THE KITCHEN WITH YOU! - 1/1/12, 11:34 AM

But what is Romney's position on old potatoes?
Has he flipped, or flopped? - 1/1/12, 11:53 AM
- EDH said...
Christopher Hitchens notwithstanding, in this case what doesn't kill you will make you stronger.
The potato, I mean, not the blogging about a blog post you just blogged about.
That'll fuck'n kill 'ya. - 1/1/12, 11:55 AM
- traditionalguy said...
We need a little more class this year.
Spuds are not classy. The are McDomald's Prole food.
Les pommes de terre done with a Julia Child recipe would be fine.
But we can begin the year out with red new potatoes. Throw 2 or 3 in your French microwave for 4 minutes, and serve with beurre blanc sauce. - 1/1/12, 1:33 PM

rhhardin, I'd like to know more about how you archive your flickr photos.
Any tips or links?

I'm pondering whether the true theme of today's blogging is the thermal danger zones of theories and people.


text: I just got back from the hospital where I spent the morning with Liam and his family. The first thing I saw when I got there was Liam walking unassisted from his wheelchair into his room and to bed. The nurses along with myself were amazed with his quick progress and eagerness to walk. In the aftermath of the accident, everyone was shaken by the previous day's events, yet spirits were high. The first thing Liam asked me was when we would get back to filming again, as we were in the works of a record breaking video that was set to be shot next week. Liam is expected to make a full recovery and be back on a skateboard early this summer. As a team rider for Comet, Caliber, and Volante, Liam is family to us and we want to make sure he is supported in any way we can to ensure a quick and full recovery.

Keep LEGAL immigrants and job creators in the United States! Help save "Eat more Produce"!
When Troy and I came to the United States 5 years ago, we were excited to expand our wholesale produce business. We started the business in Canada and knew that expansion into the United States was the next step.
After we moved to Florida, we realized, how expensive produce is for the general public and saw the opportunity to start a retail farm market. Our goal is to keep prices low and encourage people to eat healthier, while staying on budget.
We fell in love with our Florida community and we now have 17 employees who rely on our business. I guess you could say that we are the elusive "job creators" everybody has been looking for the past few years in this country.
But this month, our business and our family was dealt a huge blow. Troy's application to become a Legal Permanent Resident here in the country we love was denied. My husband is now facing a legal battle to stay in the community where we have invested so much of our lives and love. We came here legally, on visas, and were careful to do everything by the book -- each step of the way we filed proper paperwork, double and triple checked our taxes and made sure we were up to date on everything we need to keep our visas current. And it wasn't enough.
In Washington, DC Congress and President Obama have talked about fixing our broken immigration system, but families like mine still face separation. Not only do Troy and I have two young kids -- 9 and 6 -- who are depending on us, but we have employees who rely on us too! If Troy is forced to leave, our entire family must go with him our business will fail. That will be another 17 jobs lost.
Our own Senator, Marco Rubio, has talked about the need to fix our broken immigration system. I'm asking that he, Governor Nelson and USCIS start by keeping a loving father, husband and local job creator here in the United States.

(RNS) -- When it comes to running, America often looks like a country of apostles and apostates.
For true believers like Olympian Ryan Hall, marathons assume an almost-biblical importance. "I have heard stories and had personal experiences in my own running when I felt very strongly that God was involved," Hall, an evangelical Christian, has said.
Other Americans -- athletic atheists, you might call them -- roll their eyes and see marathons as a painful waste of a perfectly nice day.
In the Church of Running, I sit somewhere in the back pew.
I've run four marathons, but my training regimen reads like a list of the Seven Deadly Sins. I swill beer on the night before long runs (gluttony). I don't stretch (sloth). And I confess to an occasional desire to trip faster runners (envy).
Despite my failings and flat feet, my eyes remain fixed on Mecca. And for me, as for many runners, Mecca is the Boston Marathon.
Most races have an open-door policy, accepting even wretched sinners like me. But Boston has stringent time requirements. You have to earn the right to run down Boylston Street. You have to be worthy. Most runners aren't.
Yet hope is hard to kill. Just as Jews pray to celebrate Passover "next year in Jerusalem" and Muslims pledge to visit Mecca, marathoners want to "run Boston."
Like homebound pilgrims, even those of us who haven't raced in the nation's oldest and pre-eminent marathon know the route. Heartbreak Hill. The "scream tunnel." The kissing women of Wellesley College. The finish line at Copley Square.
For runners, Monday's bombing struck on holy ground, endangering sacred bonds.
"The Boston Marathon course is sacred to many," writes the Rev. Katie Norris, a Unitarian Universalist minister, "even those of us who have never ran it, because we know what it means to get to that race."
The late George Sheehan, the philosopher-saint of the marathon tribe, put it another way: "The things that make life worth living, like poetry and art, are not rational. And one of them is the Boston Marathon."
As Sheehan and Norris note, the path to Boston is littered with nagging injuries and even more nagging self-doubts. That's the dirty secret of long-distance running: Your spirit wants to quit long before your legs do.
Runners get different kinds of "highs" from pushing through that wall, from hushing the ever-eloquent ego. Some feel a rare sense of freedom. Others, like Sheehan, compare it to a monastery, "a place to commune with God and yourself, a place for psychological and spiritual renewal."
For me, running is little like a Buddhist lesson. I've learned that fixating on the goal is hopeless: 26.2 miles is always too far away. Better to take it step by step, improve inch by inch, moment by moment. When your spirit flags, focus on the people around you.
A meme that's been circulating since Monday's bombing quotes Kathrine Switzer, who became the first woman to run the Boston Marathon in 1967. "If you are losing faith in human nature, go out and watch a marathon," she said.
Many people probably assume that Switzer had runners in mind. But I think she was talking about marathon spectators and volunteers, the people who wake up early to hand water and jelly beans and orange slices to thousands of runners they've never met.
More than once, my eyes have welled up hearing strangers' cheers. It's almost like they're praying for you. And in my case, prayers were appropriate.
Those volunteers and spectators were among Monday's casualties. Children like Martin Richard, the 8-year-old there to watch his father cross the finish line. The survivors include men like Carlos Arrendondo, who has lost sons to suicide and war but still cheered on runners and rushed to the site of the bombing.
As much as marathoners talk of Boston as sacred ground, there's also a sacred bond -- both inside and outside of the Church of Running. It connects marathoners and the friends and family and strangers who might not understand the need to race 26.2 miles but nevertheless offer their time and support.
Monday's bombing may have tested that bond, but it couldn't destroy it. For as much as marathoning looks like a solitary journey, it's a communal one. Like everything in life, you need plenty of people -- and plenty of prayers -- to reach the finish line.

The effort is being led by the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. EPFL Professor Henry Markram, who is heading up the Human Brain Project, told the BBC that the researchers will attempt to understand "what makes the human brain unique, the basic mechanisms behind cognition and behavior," how to better diagnose brain diseases, and how to build new technologies inspired by the brain's computational processes.
The effort expects to take 30 months to set up the model platforms, and it held its first meetings with scientists from more than 130 partner institutions on Monday.
European Union
On its Web site, the project says that "one of the major obstacles to understanding the human brain is the fragmentation of brain research and the it produces." The most urgent need, the project said, is a "concerted international effort" that uses emerging technologies to integrate data "in a unified picture of the brain as a single multi-level system." The goal of the 10-year-long effort is nothing less than building "a completely new information computing technology infrastructure" for use in neuroscience and brain-related research.
Co-funded by the European Union and designated as an EU Flagship initiative, the project will model the brain with supercomputers and then use the model to test simulated drugs and treatments for brain-related diseases and other medical problems.
Six research platforms are planned, covering neuroinformatics, brain simulation, high-performance computing, medical informatics, neuromorphic computing and neurorobotics. In 2016, the platforms will become available to the project's scientists as well as other researchers, and the resources will made available on a competitive basis, just as large telescopes or supercomputers are made available to researchers.
The key resources to be available are simulations, high-performance computing, neuromorphic hardware, and databases. In addition to data obtained from simulations and research using the platforms, information from the thousands of neuroscience papers published annually will be collected.
Neural Network Simulations
As might be expected, the management of these resources will require a huge effort. The neuroinformatics platform, for instance, will generate data that will be integrated into a brain cartography that ranges from an individual brain cell to an entire brain. The medical informatics platform will be utilized to detect and identify pathologies, using anonymous clinical data gleaned from hundreds of patients via participating hospitals and pharmaceutical companies.
Medical informatics will identify biological signatures of brain disease so as to assist early diagnosis. Pharmaceuticals are involved, in part, because better diagnosis, coupled with better simulations of disease and drugs, could lower the cost of drug discovery.
The neuromorphic computing platform will utilize microchips that emulate the function of neurons, in order to better understand learning and neural resiliency. The researchers will integrate these neural network simulations into virtual robots, and eventually may employ them in physical robots.

This sunny Saturday morning I was up early, doing laundry, cleaning house, surfing around a bit. A couple weekends ago I moved my little computer set-up into the dining room and now that I'm looking to get a new computer I'm wanting to spruce things up a bit so I started looking around online at different office/studio arrangements. I'm hoping that a part of this rearranging can be to create an area for me to leave my sewing machine set up. I've got the perfect spot in mind — under the big window in the dining room. That room gets the best light in the house.
In my surfing around I found a few blogs that are so inspiring! I just love the graphics of these blogs and they're making me want to do some more creative things in this space. Maybe one of my Saturday purchases will be a book to brush up my Adobe Suite skills.
Here's a sampling of my newest blogs to love.
I could go on and on. One blog links to another and I'm lost for hours.
The blogs above were designed by Darcy at Graphically Designing and they're just gorgeous. I'd love to see what she'd suggest for my little space!
I love these blogs for their content just as much as for their design. These women are so wonderfully creative and I'm feeling inspired to pull out my sewing machine and get to work.
So, off the computer and on to the creating!

I love Christen C. God I wish she was back on TV again, but I'm doing little happy dances here and there for her return to Broadway. Unsure if she will be signing in her next production, but it she does I tell you all to run and see it. Her voice is ridic - she was the original Glenda in "Wicked" along with Idina Mendzel. Or just check her out on "Glee."

Written by Staff Reports
"After much prayer and thought, I have decided not to place my name as a candidate for executive minister of Justice and Witness Ministries," Jackson wrote in a letter to JWM's board of directors. "It was not an easy decision and one that I have taken a few months meditating on. I think you know how much I love JWM and the United Church of Christ, so, believe me, it was not easy.
"However, I truly believe that God is saying to me that, after nearly 20 years on national staff, now is the time for me to leave. I believe with all my heart that it is not only the right decision for me, but also the right decision for JWM. There comes a time when an organization needs new energy, new vision and new ways of being and I believe this is the case now. In addition, I really feel in my body and soul that I need a more balanced life."
Jackson, 55, estimated that, during the past 5 years, she has spent 75 to 80 percent of her time traveling—a draining reality that has negatively impacted her most valued personal relationships, as well as her physical and spiritual well-being, she said.
Jackson was first elected to the JWM post in July 1999, and by virtue of her office, has been a member of UCC's five-person Collegium of Officers. In 1999, when the shared-leadership Collegium model was first introduced as a centerpiece of the denomination's national restructuring, its inaugural members were elected to staggered-length terms. Jackson was elected to a six-year term—the longest of any of the initial five members—but she still was eligible for an additional four-year stint in office if elected at General Synod 25, scheduled for July 1-5, 2005, in Atlanta.
An activist on behalf of civil, women's and human rights for more than 25 years, Jackson headed the UCC's former Commission for Racial Justice before it became part of JWM at restructure. She also has served as executive associate in the UCC president's office, as director of the Bishop Tutu Southern African Refugee Scholarship Fund, as a staff member to New York Governor Hugh Carey and on the communications staff of the National Urban League. This past summer, Jackson was elected as a co-president of the World Council of Churches.
"To serve JWM and to serve the United Church of Christ has been wonderful and challenging and at times exhilarating," Jackson wrote. "I know that God has already chosen the next leader for the next phase of the life of Justice and Witness Ministries and I lean on the confidence of that knowledge."
Meanwhile, the Rev. John H. Thomas, the UCC's general minister and president, and the Rev. JosZ A. Malayang, executive minister of Local Church Ministries, have announced that they do plan to seek additional four-year terms, which would be the last available to each of them due to term limits. Both were first elected in July 1999.
UCC bylaws require a complete search committee process be conducted for each open Collegium position, regardless of whether the post is being sought by an incumbent candidate. The application deadline is Oct. 20.
Separate search committees will engage in a time of interviews and discernment before presenting a single candidate for each office to its respective board of directors and the UCC's Executive Council. A "call by election" will be held for each candidate at General Synod in July.
"I desire to be a candidate for a third and final term [as general minister and president] beginning in 2005 and concluding in 2009," Thomas, 54, announced by letter on Sept. 23.
In announcing his own candidacy, Thomas said he regrets Jackson's decision to not seek another term, but understands and supports her decision.
"She has given and will continue to give gifted leadership to the United Church of Christ and to its witness in the world and for that I am profoundly grateful," Thomas wrote. "Let us all keep her in our prayers as she discerns a new setting for ministry in the future."
In a letter to Local Church Ministries' staff on Sept. 21, Malayang, 65, wrote, "This is to let you know that I have sent a letter to the LCM Executive Minister/Officer of the Church Search Committee indicating my intention to be an applicant for the position. É My sense of call to this ministry in the national setting continues to burn within me, my passion for what we, together, can do for our beloved UCC churches energizes me."
The remaining two members of the Collegium—Edith Guffey and Olivia Masih White—are not up for re-election. Guffey, 51, associate general minister, was re-elected to her post last year at General Synod 24 in Minneapolis. At the same time, White, 67, was elected to a first term as executive minister of Wider Church Ministries.

Lead poisoning is one of the most preventable environmental health problems in young children. High levels of lead can harm the brain, interfere with growth, cause learning difficulties, and may cause death.
Sources of Lead
Children can be exposed to lead from any of the sources below. Children are at higher risk of lead exposure if they frequent older homes that contain lead in pipes, mini-blinds, or that have chipping and peeling paint.
Possible sources of lead are:
- Soil and dust
- Tap water
- Glazed pottery
- Electrical cords
- Garden hoses
- Lead-based paint
- Keys
- Batteries
- Imported canned foods
- Metal jewelry
- Outside water faucets
Signs & Symptoms
Lead poisoning may occur without any signs or symptoms.
It can take a long time for symptoms of lead poisoning to appear. Your child may be at risk long before you see any effects. Some signs to look for are:
- Learning problems
- Nausea
- Growth failure
- Behavior disorder
- Unexplained seizures
- Irritability
- Developmental delay
- Hearing loss
- Frequent tiredness
7 Ways to Reduce Lead Risk
- Keep your child from eating paint chips, dust or dirt. Keep children away from window sills, steps and porches in old homes.
- If you rent, notify your landlord of peeling or chipping paint.
- Have your home checked for lead before you remodel. Do not scrape or sand lead-based paint.
- Clean floors, window frames, window sills and other surfaces weekly. Use a mop, sponge, or paper towel with warm water and an all-purpose cleaner. Discard sponge after use.
- Wash children's hands often, especially before eating and after playing outside. Wash toys, pacifiers and bottles often.
- Clean or remove shoes before entering your home to avoid tracking in lead dust.
- Make sure children get a diet high in iron, calcium, and vitamin C and frequent meals throughout the day.

Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund tax distributions
Vanguard Fund Info |
Total International Index |
Expenses |
The Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund is a very suitable candidate for placement in taxable accounts. The index fund tracks the FTSE Global All Cap ex US Index. The addition of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) share class in 2011 and the 2010 inclusion of the fund in the series of Vanguard Target Retirement Funds should help maintain the fund's overall tax efficiency. The fund is often recommended as a core holding in a simple three-fund or four-fund portfolio.
Favorable tax factors | Unfavorable tax factors | Fig. 1 A three fund portfolio |
Historical gains distributions : Low |
Dividends: Higher than growth indexes |
The following tables provide long term data on the fund's history of both dividend and capital gains distributions. The first table also provides the historical distribution of qualified dividends and an estimate of the foreign tax credit. One should note that the fund has a fiscal year ending in October, so its reported distributions for a year reflect the prior year's December distribution of dividends and capital gains.
The second table provides a database of the fund's accounting figures: the annual level of realized and distributed gains; its level of unrealized gains and loss carryforwards; as well as the annual in-kind redemption gains the fund has realized. These figures highlight the level of a fund's tax liabilities.
Because both manager turnover of securities inside the portfolio and investor turnover of fund shares can affect the level of gains realization, a third table provides historical turnover ratios.

The Vanguard Total International Fund has a fiscal year ending in October, so its reported distributions for a year reflect the prior year's December distribution of dividends and capital gains. |
The following table provides a view of the fund's historical distributions expressed in terms of yields. We can see that the fund distributed modest levels of capital gains during its first five years of existence, but has not distributed a gain since 2001. Approximately 75% of dividend distributions have been qualified dividends, which under the current tax regime, are taxed at lower capital gains tax rates.
The fund has changed tracking indexes three times in its history. The transition years of benchmark changes are marked in red shading.

Accounting data
The accounting figures and associated ratios (tables 3 and 4) can help one visualize some of the major determinants of a fund's tendency to distribute taxable gains. These determining features include:
Turnover: The rate at which a fund manager sells securities within the fund has a major effect on potential gains realization. Single digit annual fund turnover percentages result in a low rate of realized gains. Similarly, fund shareholders' sales flows have major effects on a fund's distribution tendencies. Net flows into the fund have the following effects:
- Constant inflows allow a fund manager to purchase a wide range of price lots for shares. The manager can select high basis shares when forced to sell a stock (this may realize a loss). The manager can also select low basis shares when redeeming a stock in-kind (a non-taxable transaction that can remove an unrealized gain out of the portfolio.) This redemption technique is primarily employed with institutional creation and redemption of ETF shares.[notes 5] Net inflows mean that shareholders are not forcing the manager to liquidate assets (and realize gains or losses) in order to meet redemptions. Large outflows can force such liquidation.
- A large and growing net asset base serves to diffuse any realized capital gains across a large base of shareholders and reduces the per share gain distribution. Large outflows have the opposite effect; any gains realized are spread across a smaller asset base and result in higher per share distributed gains. [6]
The level of unrealized gains and carryover realized losses in a fund: Index funds defer gains realization and often accumulate significant unrealized appreciation, which if distributed, would be taxed; thus the unrealized gain/loss figure shows the potential gain (or loss) that would be realized if the portfolio was to be entirely liquidated. Any loss carryovers a fund possesses can be used to offset future realized gains (carryovers have an eight year expiration period).
Turnover statistics
Reference article: Average net assets
Tax rates
Mutual fund distributions will be taxed according to the tax laws governing the investment over the holding period of the investment, which are subject to change. The actual tax imposed will depend upon each individual's tax rate and the timing of purchases and sales. The federal tax rates applicable to mutual fund distributions and investor sales of securities for the period 2013 onward are outlined below. Keep in mind that investment income may also be subject to state and local taxation.
- Short-term capital gains distributions are made from realized gains on securities held for one year or less. Short-term gains are taxed at ordinary income tax rates up to 39.6%. Mutual fund short-term gain distributions are included in a fund's ordinary dividend distribution; therefore, capital losses may not be subtracted from these distributions when computing taxes.
- Long-term capital gains distributions are made from realized gains on securities held for more than one year. Long-term gains are taxed at 0% for taxpayers in the 10% and 15% tax brackets, at 15% for taxpayers in the 25%, 28%, 33%, and 35% tax brackets, and at 20% in the 39,6% tax bracket. They are reported on tax Schedule D along with any other capital gains, and can be reduced by capital losses.
- Qualified dividends are the ordinary dividends [notes 6] that are subject to the same tax rate that applies to long-term capital gains. They should be shown in box 1b of the Form 1099-DIV you receive.
- When you sell at a loss you will either offset capital gains which would have otherwise been taxed at your capital gains rate or you will offset income (up to $3,000 maximum per year) which would have otherwise been taxed at your marginal income tax rate, or both. If you offset capital gains that would have otherwise not been taxed at all (because your capital gains tax rate is 0%) then this part of the tax loss harvest may be an outright loss.
- The Affordable Care Act imposes a Medicare surcharge of 3.8% on all net investment income (NII) once the taxpayer's adjusted gross income exceeds $200,000 (single) or $250,000 (married); while this tax is not part of the income tax, it has the same effect on investors as a higher tax rate. The NII tax begins to apply to individuals falling in the 33% tax bracket. Thus the top effective marginal tax rate is 23.8% on qualified dividends and long-term gains, 43.4% on ordinary investment income.</blockquote

Tax analysis
The annual fund accounting figures show that the Vanguard Total International Index fund turnover ratio usually stays in single digits. The rise in turnover during fiscal years 2009 and 2010 was likely due to the fund's transformation over the period from a fund of funds into a fund directly holding securities, and during FY 2010 from its change of index benchmarks to the MSCI ACWI ex USA IMI Index [10] which added allocations to the Canadian stock market and small cap stocks to the fund portfolio. The MSCI ACWI ex USA IMI Index, being a total market index, can be expected to exhibit low, single digit turnover in future years. This low turnover can be attributed to the fact that stock migration out of a total international market index can come in only two dimensions:
- An individual company goes bankrupt and is delisted from the stock exchange;
- An emerging market country is reclassified from its status as an emerging market and is placed into a frontier market index.
Neither event is likely to generate large capital gains.
Shareholder turnover, revealed in the Redemptions/Average Net Assets (R/ANA) metric, shows that shareholders have historically turned over their holdings in the fund at 10%-20% annual rates, suggesting average holding periods of between five and ten years.
The fund has received net inflows every year of its history. The heavy inflows in FY 2010 partly reflect the policy decision to include the fund in the allocation of Vanguard Target Retirement funds. From 2010 onwards, the fund will receive inflows from investors adding to these fund of funds (the fund has always been a holding in some of the Vanguard Life Strategy funds). Assuming continual net investment in these retirement accumulation portfolios should result in the continuance of future net inflows into the fund.
A look at realized net gains/losses shows that the fund realized net losses during the 2000-2001 and 2008-2009 bear markets. These losses produced loss carryforwards. Low fund and shareholder turnover has retained most of these carryforward losses as offsets to potential future gains. The introduction of ETF shares to the fund should also help increase its future tax efficiency, as the fund sees an increase in its realization of in-kind redemption gains. [notes 7]
The following table presents the federal tax cost on the fund's historical distributions (see second tab, table 6.) under two scenarios: the current favorable tax rate regime (2010-2012) and under a higher tax regime (with dividends taxed at marginal rates and long term capital gains taxed at a maximum 20%). Keep in mind that distributions can also be subject to state and local taxation, with marginal rates ranging from 0% to 10.3% (an average 5% state tax rate will add an approximate 0.10% to the annual tax cost of holding the fund.) The average is based on the results from 2004-2010, the period comprising the qualified dividend tax regime. The 2004- 2010 average dividend yield is roughly 0.5% higher than the long term (1996 forward) fund average yield. The fund distributed capital gains during the 1996-2003 period, averaging 0.02% per annum short term gains, 0.13% per annum long term gains.
The table does not include the capital gains cost associated with selling the fund at a gain. [notes 8]
Table 6
(View Google Spreadsheet in browser, then File --> Download as to download the file.)Notes
- ↑ The dividend yield for FY 2009 reflects the move to individual stock investments as opposed to a funds-of funds structure. For FY 2009, net investment income per share and the ratio of net investment income to average net assets included $0.249 and 2.06%, respectively, of annual dividends received from Vanguard mutual funds in December 2008. From August 2008 through February 2009, the fund invested in a combination of Vanguard mutual funds and common stocks. Effective in March 2009, the fund's equity investments were solely in common stocks.
- ↑ The 2014 dividend distribution includes a February 0.39% receipt from Vodaphone Group plc. in the form of cash and shares in Verizon Communications Inc.

Table 8. Foreign Tax Credit
(View Google Spreadsheet in browser, then File --> Download as to download the file.)- ↑ When a fund redeems ETF shares, it prepares a basket of securities that it exchanges in-kind to an institutional investor. The basket often includes a modest cash component for exact settlement. An astute ETF manager can use this as an opportunity to raise cash by selling some high basis stock for a realized loss.
- ↑ Fairmark says:
A portion of your ordinary dividend may be nonqualified because it can include items like these:
- Taxable interest. When a mutual fund receives taxable interest, the income gets paid out as a dividend. It's a dividend when it goes out of the mutual fund, but it wasn't a dividend when it came into the mutual fund, so it can't be a qualified dividend.
- Nonqualified dividends. Your mutual fund may receive dividends that are nonqualified. For example, the mutual fund may sell shares just 35 days after buying them, but after receiving a dividend. The mutual fund has to hold the shares at least 61 days to have a qualified dividend. Any amount the mutual fund receives as a nonqualified dividend gets paid to you as a nonqualified dividend.
- Short-term capital gain. When a mutual fund has a short-term capital gain, it pays this amount to the mutual fund shareholders as an ordinary dividend.
- Holding mutual fund shares less than 61 days. You should also be aware that any dividend you receive on mutual fund shares held less than 61 days is a nonqualified dividend, even if the mutual fund reports that amount to you as a qualified dividend. You don't have to buy the shares 61 days before the dividend is paid, but the total amount of time you hold the shares (including time before and after the dividend) has to be at least 61 days.
Almost all of the dividends distributed by Equity REITS come in the form of non-qualified dividends. Non-qualified dividends are taxed at marginal income tax rates.
- ↑ Because ETF share classes reduce transaction costs and bring tax benefits to the fund portfolio regardless of share class turnover (which can be quite high) we provide separate R/ANA and R/S ratios for the ETFs. We must approximate the average net asset figure for ETFs. One should also note that Vanguard includes share class conversions (investor/admiral) in the sales and redemptions totals for the fund. Vanguard does not quantify conversions. These non-transaction conversions inflate the reported shareholder ratios. The fund has experienced steady growth of the ETF share class, which makes up a growing portion of fund total assets.
Chart: ETF ratio to total fund assets
google drive spreadsheet- ↑ This table indicates the additional cost for the capital-gains tax when you sell, assuming that you pay taxes on the distribution and reinvest the after-tax portion of the distribution; since it is a one-time cost, the effect is annualized. For example, if you hold an investment for 30 years and lose 10% to taxes when you sell, that is equivalent to losing 0.35% every year. Thus, if you sell the fund, your cost will be the sum of the Table 6 and Table 9 costs. However, you would not pay the Table 9 cost on any stock which you either leave to your heirs or donate to charity, and thus may not pay that cost on your full investment. In particular, you might estimate your total tax cost by using the low-return line in Table 2; if stock returns are high, you will have a large taxable account and will reduce the tax cost by taking longer to deplete it or by not spending it all during your lifetime. Taxes are computed at a tax rate of 15% on long-term gains (except in the "rate rises to 20% column", which applies if that tax reduction is allowed to expire), and on qualified dividends (except in the "no QDI" column, which applies if the tax reduction on qualified dividends expires and the rate is 35%). The foreign tax credit is added to the dividend yield before computing taxes; for example, if a fund had $100 withheld in foreign taxes on dividends, and you pay $20 in taxes on the withheld dividends, you get a $100 credit for a net benefit of $80. Although not tabulated, keep in mind that investors in the lower tax brackets (15% or lower) pay lower federal tax rates on investment income for the period 2003 - 2012, and reap higher after-tax returns, outside of tax-exempt municipal bonds, in all asset classes.

Researchers from Boston University's Slone Epidemiology Center have found a direct link between neighborhood socioeconomic status and risk for type 2 diabetes in African American women.
The study, which appears in the online American Journal of Epidemiology, is the first prospective study to examine the relationship between neighborhood socioeconomic status and incidence of type 2 diabetes in a large, geographically diverse cohort of African-American women.
Type 2 diabetes is estimated to affect 20.6 million people in the United States and has particularly impacted African-American women, who are twice as likely to have the disease as non-Hispanic whites.
Recent studies indicated that the socioeconomic characteristics of a neighborhood can affect health status independent of socioeconomic status of an individual. Neighborhood environment influences diet and physical activity through the availability of grocery stores, recreational facilities and educational resources. In addition, neighborhoods vary with regard to sources of chronic stress (noise, violence and poverty).
This study looked at women who participated in the Black Women's Health Study which has followed 59,000 black women from across the United States since 1995. The baseline questionnaire asked about a history of diabetes, and each follow-up questionnaire asked about a new diagnosis of diabetes. United States Census block group characteristics were used to measure neighborhood socioeconomic status.
During 12 years of follow-up of 46,382 participants aged 30-69 years, 3,833 new cases of type 2 diabetes occurred. The incidence of diabetes was the highest in women living in neighborhoods with the lowest socioeconomic status score after taking into account other risk factors for diabetes.
"Our findings indicate that the risk of type 2 diabetes for African-American women is influenced not just by individual characteristics, but by the characteristics of the neighborhoods in which they live," said senior author Julie Palmer, Sc.D., a senior epidemiologist at the Slone Epidemiology Center and professor of epidemiology at Boston University School of Public Health. "Even women with the highest educational levels appeared to be affected by their neighborhood environment," she added.
"Because many Africa-Americans live in disadvantaged neighborhoods regardless of their level of education, efforts to reduce the occurrence of diabetes need to include improving conditions in disadvantaged neighborhoods," added study co-author Yvette Cozier, D.Sc., an epidemiologist at the Slone Epidemiology Center and an assistant professor of epidemiology at Boston University School of Public Health.
Funding for this study was provided by the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Anthony Weiner Resigns Over Twitter Scandal
"Anthony's decision to resign is right for him and his family, our party, and our country because we have serious work to do in Congress," Steve Israel, chair of the DCCC, said in a statement after Weiner's announcement. " Last week Republican leaders introduced a bill to privatize Social Security, and the American people deserve an undistracted debate on it, Medicare, jobs, and other important issues."
Despite his tough treatment by his colleagues in Washington, polls showed many of Weiner's constituents open to keeping him in office. A number of senior attendees at his final press conference shouted their approval throughout his brief speech.
"Everybody has hangups," Esther, 92, told TPM. "It's a shame."
She blamed the press for hounding him out of office: "They destroyed him."
Weiner was widely speculated to run for mayor on New York City in 2013, perhaps even as the frontrunner, but the embarrassment of recent weeks as well as his deceptive failed attempt to cover up his behavior make his political future uncertain. Within Congress, he cultivated a reputation for his brash and biting speaking style, which he often employed to eviscerate Republican proposals in floor speeches and constant cable news appearances. He gained particular prominence during the health care debate, where he became one of the most visible advocates for a public health care option, a feature favored by progressive Democrats that was ultimately left out of the final legislation.
"It's a tragedy," Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) said of his fellow New Yorker's resignation. Calling his exit "inevitable," Nadler told TPM that the party would nonetheless miss Weiner's presence in the House.
"Congressman Weiner was extremely bright, extremely intelligent, he could articulate the issues very well and dramatize them," he said. "Any time you lose that kind of talent it's a loss."
Weiner is the fourth New York Congressman to leave office after a personal scandal in the last four years. Republican Chris Lee stepped down in February after it was revealed he sent shirtless photos to a woman on Craigslist, Democrat Eric Massa resigned last year after allegations of sexual harassment, and Republican Vito Fossella did not seek re-election in 2008 after he phoned his mistress to bail him out of prison following a drunk driving arrest.
Late update: Here's video of Weiner's resignation announcement:

Delayed Evaluation of NDSolve Arguments
Dear All, is there a way to prevent NDSolve to evaluate its arguments right on the spot? Inside my differential equation x'[t]=F[x[t],t,f[x[t],t]], I want to use a function f[x,t] which makes only sense, when called with numeric arguments. So everything would be fine, if NDSolve would evaluate the differential equation at each time step. However, the differential equation is only evaluated once at the beginning, and then only numerical values are plugged into the evaluated equation at each time step. Below is a baby example of my problem f[t_]:=If[NumericQ[t],1,0]; sol=NDSolve[{x'[t]==f[t],x[0]==0},x[t],{t,0,1}]; x[t]/.sol[[1]] 0. (* I want x[t]=t ! *) Any help would be appreciated Benjamin

Additional money to Hudson Valley counties to help them recover from Hurricane Irene will be provided by the state, Sen. Greg Ball said Wednesday.
Ball said the state contribution will ease the burden on localities as they rebuild streams and roads. Philipstown sustained especially high damage in Putnam, and rebuilding is still continuing. Eligible disaster recovery efforts are typically covered at 75 percent by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, with the remainder split between the state and munipalities.
Streams have been a particular issue. In a conversation with the PCN&R, Philipstown Supervisor Richard Shea said that the state regulates the streams but it's never clear who owns the streams, and noted the difficulty getting funding to maintain stream health.
Assuming some grant money, or even simple permission to proceed, becomes available, Shea said, getting the work done is a contract job: "You can't push the burden on the Highway Department."
Shea added that, "We just had the exit meeting with FEMA for the highway project. We've filed for $1.9375 million in funding [and if it's approved] we get 87.5 percent of that [FEMA pays 75 percent and NY State pays 12.5 percent.] We had 33 projects—7 large and the rest under the $63,900 [FEMA threshold]…that represents just a huge amount of work" for the Highway Department staff and for Highway Superintendent Roger Chirico.
It was not immediately known how much of the money to which Ball referred might be headed to Philipstown. The money could be a boon, however. According to figures from Ball, Putnam's cost of storm-related projects is $7.6 million, and the state will pick up the local 12.5 percent share of $955,062. (ARTICLE)
