Next Meetup
What we're about
THIS is the place to find fabulous people, doing things you'd like to do, that are either free or inexpensive in Salt Lake City... come on, join us!
Members of this group are people just like yourself, looking to find great new friends and to try new activities, without spending a fortune. Who says you have to pay a fortune to have fun?
Our events are:
FREE or fairly INEXPENSIVE. We will try to provide you with information concerning FREE events here in Salt Lake City. We also want to let you know about events that are fun, but may cost you. We try to keep these events in the INEXPENSIVE category. If there's a cost, it will be notated by two $$ in front of the event. The cost will also be clearly noted in the event description.
Centered on building a COMMUNITY and meeting FRIENDS. This means that a host should be present for MOST events. The host must give specific directions for where to meet, when and how to find each other. Occasionally, I'll post an event as FYI only if I can't host. This group is not here as a mailing list for corporate events. Any events that are clearly posted solely for advertising purposes will be immediately removed.
FUN! The best part of Meetup is the fun you will have meeting awesome new people while trying out fun new activities. Have a blast! Take photos and post them! Review your events so we know what you like and what you want more of.
Simply join the group on meetup and start attending events! Once you've signed up, take that scary first step- RSVP to an event and then show up. From there it's easy- the members of this group are a welcoming bunch. When you get to the event, check in with the Event Host so they can introduce you to the rest of the group.
If you find that you're unable to make it to an event you'd planned on, it's no big deal. Just update your RSVP and we won't hold it against you! But please....do update your RSVP to show you are not going.
On the day of the event, we'll typically post important details on how to meet in the comments section of the event page. You can also use the comments section to ask questions about the event at any time.
Hope that gives you enough to go on! We'd love to see you at our next event.

TUSCALOOSA | Local air traffic controllers are warning that shutting down Tuscaloosa Regional Airport's tower could slow arrivals and departures while increasing aircraft hazards. Air traffic manager Bill Henderson and controller Mark Powell, who have a combined 56 years of experience guiding airplanes to safety, said the potential elimination of air traffic services at the local airfield would have an obvious effect on how the airport operates.
TUSCALOOSA | Local air traffic controllers are warning that shutting down Tuscaloosa Regional Airport's tower could slow arrivals and departures while increasing aircraft hazards.
Air traffic manager Bill Henderson and controller Mark Powell, who have a combined 56 years of experience guiding airplanes to safety, said the potential elimination of air traffic services at the local airfield would have an obvious effect on how the airport operates.
"It's not like it's going to be a nice, perfect day for flying when the tower is gone because there is potential — true potential — for catastrophe," Powell said.
Their concerns are rooted in the looming federal budget reductions that, if not extended beyond Friday's deadline, would mean a cut of $600 million from this year's budget for the Federal Aviation Administration.
Powell and Henderson work for Robinson Aviation, the Oklahoma City-based company that's been hired to handle the local airport's air traffic control services.
FAA funds are used to support and employ air traffic controllers at airports — large and small — across the nation. But earlier this week, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said the across-the-board reductions will mean furloughing air traffic controllers, which in turn will reduce the ability to guide planes in and out of airports.
"For everybody, it's going to be a slowdown at some airports," Henderson said, "and it's going to be less safe, staffing wise, for most everybody."
While the local air traffic control tower is staffed from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., pilots are expected to communicate with the around-the-clock airspace monitoring service at Birmingham-
Shuttlesworth International Airport. The radar there covers much of Tuscaloosa's air space.
Efforts to reach Airport Manager Wayne Cameron were unsuccessful, but city officials said earlier this week that Birmingham's radar capabilities will allow the airport to maintain its current level of service even if the federal budget cuts take effect.
The local air traffic controllers, however, are less optimistic.
For instance, Birmingham's tower can't see below 2,500 feet, Powell said, and not all pilots know — or take the time — to check with Birmingham before landing or departing.
"Most of the pilots are pretty good, but they all make errors," Powell said. "And around this airport, with no radar and so forth, they're commonplace."
Henderson said he's witnessed pilots land at the Tuscaloosa airport without checking with Birmingham and has noticed that certain pilots are not used to dealing with an airport that lacks on-site air traffic controllers.
During the day, when the tower is in operation, the Tuscaloosa air traffic controllers oversee 150 to 200 airplanes each day. And last year, Henderson said, 55,000 operations — takeoffs or landings — were recorded at the Regional Airport.
"The service we provide here creates an expeditious flow of traffic," Powell said, minutes after coordinating three airplanes that were approaching simultaneously.
The daylight hours are especially busy, since business travelers routinely land or depart alongside military aircraft and others that frequent the airport.
University of Alabama athletic squads — football, basketball and gymnastics, especially — make frequent use of the airport during their respective seasons.
And while these budget cuts, which stand to trim $85 billion from federal programs by the end of this fiscal year and $1.2 trillion over the next decade, may eliminate the jobs of Powell, Henderson and the three other air traffic controllers based in Tuscaloosa, that doesn't appear to be their biggest fear now.
For one, the FAA hasn't notified Robinson Aviation whether it stands to lose any funding.
Charlie Taylor, the vice president of air traffic service for Robinson Aviation, said earlier this week that the company was awaiting word from the FAA on what to expect.
Rather, the key concern — according to Henderson, especially — is whether pilots, passengers and other users of airports across the country will receive a safe traveling experience.
"Everybody's concerned. The people I have are concerned. No one actually wants to be out of work," Henderson said. "But we're talking about a much bigger puzzle than Tuscaloosa."

Hawker Beechcraft Announces Cuts, Layoffs
A letter sent by Hawker Beechcraft to its employees Wednesday informed them that the company would be cutting workers and closing specific facilities, resulting in job losses for more than 400 employees. Hawker Beechcraft Services facilities in Little Rock, Ark., Mesa, Ariz., and San Antonio, Texas, will "begin the process of closing," shedding some 240 jobs in the process. Hawker Beechcraft Corporation in Wichita, Kan., and Little Rock, Ark., will lose an additional 170 people to the cuts. Workers will begin receiving notices this Friday, Nov. 9. Some will be "required to work during all or some of the 60-day Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notice (WARN) period based on business needs," according to the letter.
The company says the "extremely difficult" decision to reduce its workforce will help move it closer to a business model it believes will allow it to succeed, moving forward. That model envisions focusing "on turboprop, piston, special mission and trainer/attack aircraft, as well as our parts, maintenance, repairs and refurbishment businesses." The letter tells remaining employees that their "continued focus" on producing "the best airplanes in the world" is critical to the company's success and that workers' "continued hard work and dedication" is appreciated. Further updates are promised as the company attempts to emerge from Chapter 11 protection as a stand-alone company. Click through for the full text (PDF) of the letter.

Bangladesh are out to salvage pride against the West Indies in a five-match one-day series starting on Friday but will be missing star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan for the first two games.
The West Indies cantered to a 2-0 win in this month's Test series and the loss of 25-year-old Shakib, who suffered a shin injury during the second Test, will be a major blow to the struggling home side.
Captain Mushfiqur Rahim put on a brave face over the loss of Shakib, who will be absent from a Bangladesh ODI line-up for the first time since the 2008 Asia Cup in Pakistan.
"It (playing without Shakib) will be a big challenge," the skipper said.
"But we always plan to play consistent cricket. We are playing ODI cricket after a long time. They have a strong one-day side but we will use the Asia Cup memories to inspire us," said Rahim.
Shakib to miss first two ODIs
Bangladesh are out to salvage pride against the West Indies in a five-match one-day series starting on Friday but will be missing star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan for the first two games.
Bangladesh beat one-day heavyweights India and Sri Lanka on their way to the final of the Asia Cup on home soil in March this year before narrowly losing in the final to Pakistan. It was their most recent one-day match.
West Indies, buoyant after winning the Test series, have injury problems of their own as they prepare for the first match in Khulna, with spearhead Tino Best ruled out of the series with a hamstring injury.
Best, who took a maiden five-wicket haul in the first Test in Dhaka and six wickets in Bangladesh's second innings of the second Test, has been replaced by uncapped fast bowler Jason Holder in the ODI squad.
West Indies captain Darren Sammy said he was happy with the balance of his squad.
"The nucleus of the team is quite settled. The guys have been performing consistently in the past six to 12 months, which is a good sign," said Sammy, whose side won the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka last month.
West Indies will be boosted by the return of fast bowler Kemar Roach, who missed the Tests due to a knee injury.
They also boast a star-studded batting line-up led by the powerful Chris Gayle, who is backed up by Marlon Samuels, Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Smith.
Despite his team's strengths, Sammy said Bangladesh were tough opponents.
"The Bangladesh team is an exciting one-day team, so is the West Indies," he said. "And the fans are passionate about cricket. I am looking forward to the series."
Bangladesh have included uncapped Mominul Hoque as a replacement for the injured Shakib in the first two matches after the 21-year-old left-hander impressed in trial matches this week.
The second ODI, on December 2, is also in Khulna, with the remaining three matches in Dhaka on December 5, 7 and 8. The two sides are also playing a single Twenty20 international in Dhaka on December 10.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyThe shore crab feeds on invertebrates including worms, molluscs and crustaceans Small molluscs and barnacles are taken by young crabs (2). Breeding peaks in summer, and mating can only take place shortly after the female moults; the male finds a female before she is due to moult, and carries her around underneath his body for a number of days (2). After the moult, copulation occurs. The female creates a cavity by burrowing in the sand; she lays the eggs whilst positioned over this cavity, attaches them to her walking legs and carries them around for several months (2). After hatching, the larvae are planktonic for 2-3 years. They then settle as young crabs, and reach maturity after around a year (2).

We understand that your Wedding Invitation is one of the most significant keepsakes of your lifetime. Our collection offers styles and designs to give every couple an invitation to love forever. From classic to casual, traditional to modern, add your custom details in beautiful fonts and colors. For an extra personal touch, choose an invitation that includes your uploaded photos, featured or overlaid with text.
It's easy to design your invitation, download the image or PDF file, and have it printed at your local print shop on specialty paper. There's no charge on our end. Our print-at-home option is entirely free, too. Or go totally tech and email your invites, also free of charge.
To order premium invitations directly from our website, professionally printed and shipped to you, look for "Professional Prints" in the "Finish" menu. Your custom design will be reproduced on 120lb paper with just a hint of texture using high-tech processes for a truly wedding-worthy invitation. Envelopes are included, and, as an added convenience, you can order your return address printed. You're only a few days away from Wedding Invitation Delivery Day!
Once you've designed and printed or ordered your invites, when do you send them? And what about save-the-date cards? The consensus is four to six months before your wedding for save-the-dates, but allow additional time if yours is a destination wedding. The number one etiquette tip for these is that save-the-dates only go to people you absolutely plan to invite to the wedding. List the city location to give adequate planning time for travel and lodging, even if your exact venue is still undecided.
Your (amazing!) invitations should arrive in mailboxes six to eight weeks before your wedding, again allowing extra if guests will need to arrange time off and air travel. Set your RSVP date three to four weeks prior to your wedding so you'll have time to follow up on missing responses before you have to give final numbers to your vendors. A great tip is to use an invisible ink UV pen to mark your response cards with numbers corresponding to your guest list. It's common to receive back several RSVP's with no name, and the number system allows you to identify the responders. The UV part keeps it all discreet and the envelope pristine.
From the internet to your best friend to your nearly-in-laws, wedding tips are superabundant. Craft a gracious but noncommittal response to suggestions, and offer it with a genuine smile. In an unpressured moment, choose the ideas that fit your vision and your budget, and be thankful so many people want your special day to be wonderful!

Mobile malware is not new. According to Juniper Networks' Third Annual Mobile Threats Report, there were more than 276,000 malicious apps for mobile devices discovered from March 2012 through March 2013. The Android platform, with an estimated two thirds of the mobile market share in 2012, is the target of 92 percent of that malware.
Now, researchers at Symantec have discovered a new wrinkle that combines a Remote Access Tool for Android devices with a kit that lets unskilled users easily repackage legitimate apps with AndroRAT to create Trojans. The new binder kit is being advertised in the hacker underground market as "first ever Android RAT app binder + builder."
"To date, Symantec has counted 23 cases of popular legitimate apps being Trojanized in the wild with AndroRAT," Symantec's Andrea Lelli wrote in a recent blog post. Only several hundred infections of AndroRAT have been found worldwide, most of them in the United States and Turkey, but the number is growing.
AndroRAT enables control of the infected device, allowing the criminal to remotely monitor and make phone calls, send SMS messages, access GPS coordinates, use the camera and microphone and access stored files.
The appearance of AndroRAT packaged in an off-the-shelf kit for infecting applications is a significant step in the commercialization of mobile malware, said Vikram Thakur, Symantec's principal security response manager.
"All this tool is doing is lowering the bar for people entering the malware space," Thakur said. "But it's only one piece of the puzzle." The user "still has to figure out how to monetize it."
Making money from malware for mobile devices has for years been a stumbling block for cyber criminals. The devices are increasingly popular and powerful, but do not offer as many opportunities for ripping users off as do desktop and laptop computers that are more often used in commerce. As much fun as it might be to take control of someone's smartphone, there is not a lot of money in it.
But the ability to leverage malware in large mobile botnets can make it worthwhile. Common schemes are to deliver ads to the infected device, send premium text messages for which the smartphone owner is billed or to have the device browse a for-pay video site. These do not produce a big return on any one device, but Symantec discovered a large mobile botnet in 2012 that was pulling in more than $1 million a year for its owner, Thakur said.
"The bad guys are not trying to suck out as much money as they can on day one," he said. They are staying under the radar, taking a few dollars a month from each victim for a small -- but long term -- return on investment.
The next phase in such schemes is to take products such as the AndroRAT binder one step further and bundle it with tools for hosting and delivering premium content to compromised devices: An all-in-one tool that can turn any wannabe into a successful mobile bot herder.
So far, it does not appear that this has been done, Thakur said. "If it is happening in the underworld, it is in a very siloed manner." But he expects that we will see activity of this kind in the future.
The good news is that most mobile malware today is delivered in applications that have to be installed on a smartphone or other device, which means that the user is the first and best line of defense. You should have an antivirus tool installed on your phone, but be careful about what else you install on it.
"If somebody is offering you a free version of an app that you would have to pay for somewhere else, think twice," Thakur said. "Nothing is free."

CaptainAmerica is right on. I concur.
It looks like the scare tactics (usually from vendors looking to sell overpriced do-nothing anti-virus software) are coming out of the woodwork again in search of Android device owners. I mean, I get that Android is definitely more vulnerable to malware than iOS, for example, but the problem is nowhere near epidemic levels. But most wouldn't know because when progress is made in the fight against malware, that never gets talked about. If Android is so infested, why didn't people jump for joy when Android mobile ad network Airpush partnered with Appthority a few months ago to wipe the threat of malware off its network of 100,000? That's big, especially since ad networks generally have inadequate filters for malware, if any. I think a lot of companies have been very responsible in their efforts to keep malware at bay. But those headlines just aren't as sexy now are they?

it must of been one of the other talks on that page where Rinpoche's discussed it more. sorry about that.

Having sprouted from humble beginnings, despite the fact that my great-grandma was the first female chief in Mamfe, Cameroon, which offered her metaphorical balls so to speak and not cash, I can understand the allure of a sugar daddy. I can understand, but wouldn't choose that lifestyle for myself even if, ironically enough, I were offered 1 000 000 dollars.
I stumbled upon a blog which chronicled the life of a sugar baby (a woman who exchanges her companionship and sex for money and gifts via a wealthy older man). From that blog, I found more and more. I must say these sites are entertaining, and although mainstream society would judge such women as being weak, crazy and perhaps even as grazing prostitution, some of these women are far from being idle. In fact, they have a keen business sense, since they are maintaining relationships with these men to further their career, as in garner enough money to open up their own businesses. I knew that such females existed, but I hadn't a clue that there was this whole online community for sugar babies. I actually found an online dating hub for sugar babies/daddies called "SugarDaddyMate". You can describe yourself (as a sugar baby or sugar daddy) and find someone who will cater to your needs.
My curiosity being already picked, I ventured out to find out if sugar mommies existed. They do, but they are oftentimes called cougars. The term "cougar", to me, solely implies an older woman who dates younger men; it doesn't hold them to that same monetary responsibility as are sugar daddies. Sites for "sugar mommies" exist, but you have to look a bit harder to find them. A social commentary can evidently be made, but I'll leave that up to you!

Event brings holiday cheer to area
Trees adorned with tinsel, garland and lights lit up the hallways and common rooms of The Gardens at Wapakoneta this past week as residents and community members flocked to check out the Christmas scene.
The 13th annual Festival of Trees was held during this past week and weekend, and included more than 80 donated items, which were all auctioned off to festival bidders.
A silent auction was held to bid on the trees and specialty items decorated with Ohio State ornaments, Hawaiian colors, snowflakes and tractors — just a few of the attractions at the event.
"My favorite part (of this event) is seeing all of the people and excitement over the items and the joy it brings to the residents that live here," The Gardens Admissions Coordinator Diana Fritz Miller said.
The festival, which began Wednesday and went through Sunday, brought in numerous people to check out the decorated items. All of the proceeds from the event will go to support The Community Health Professionals of Tri-County Hospice Program.
"The bids range from little to astronomical amounts," Fritz Miller said Saturday.
Community members were able to bid on items, and on Sunday the silent auction closed, and the highest bidder on each item took it home.
Community Health Professionals Marketing and Volunteer Coordinator Niki Du Vall and The Gardens Activity Coordinator Brenda Meckstroth helped organize the event, along with help from the Village Green.
Local businesses, organizations and community members were among the ones who donated the decorated trees and specialty items to the event this year.
On Saturday afternoon, Fritz Miller said that the event brought out approximately 45 families, who had their photos taken with Santa Claus, who made an appearance.
This event not only brings out the community, but Fritz Miller said it bring out a lot of the elders who live at The Gardens to mingle and see the Christmas cheer.
"It gives the elders a lot to think and talk about," Fritz Miller said. "They just really enjoy it."
This holiday event is something that the residents, along with the community, look forward to each year, as it helps kick off the holiday season.
Wapakoneta resident Linda LaMarr brought her two grandchildren, Taylor and Bradey Miller, out to check out the decorated trees and specialty items on Saturday evening, as she has been donating a tree for many years.
"My mom used to be out here a few years ago," LaMarr said.
LaMarr said her late mother enjoyed The Gardens, so she, along with a few of her family members, decorate and donate a tree each year to the festival.
LaMarr said she has a lot of history here, since her mother was a former resident, as she enjoys catching up with the residents.
"I enjoy seeing the different things and enjoy seeing the people," LaMarr said.
This year her family did a snowflake theme, where she used a white tree with blue decor.
Taylor, 7, said her favorite tree was the Ohio State themed tree, which was decorated with Ohio State ornaments and items.
Other festival donators, Terry and Rick Kantner decided to donate a John Deere decorated tree, in honor of Terry's father, Harold Schaub.
"My dad redid about 12 tractors and rode them in parades," Terry Kantner said. "We decided to do a tree in honor of him."
Terry Kantner said this is a great way to give back, because the hospice program took care of her husband's mother.
"It just makes you feel good," Terry Kantner said. "We try to give back."
Each year, the Kantners donate a tree, and last year they donated an Ohio State Christmas tree, which brought in $1,000 for the event.
Kathy and Doug Oakman, friends of the Kantners, enjoyed looking at all the different trees and decorations at The Gardens.
"My favorite is the 'book tree,'" Kathy Oakman said, of the Christmas tree with children's books adorned around it.
She said her second favorite was the tree that included a lot of gold ribbon adorned on it.
"This is great for the residents," Kathy Oakman said. "And we get to visit with many people."

Norwich outfought Manchester United, says Ferguson
NORWICH, United Kingdom (AFP) –
Alex Ferguson admitted that his Manchester United side had been out-fought in their 1-0 defeat at Norwich City.
The result, coupled with a 5-0 victory for Manchester City at home to Aston Villa earlier in the day, meant United ended in second place in the Premier League table.
A goal from Anthony Pilkington — a former United youth player — on the hour mark sealed a remarkable win for hard-working Norwich.
"It's disappointing," Ferguson said afterwards. "You have to give credit to Norwich. They battled all over the pitch and defended fantastically well. Their goalkeeper had a really good night also.
"It was a marvelous cross and a magnificent header — there was nothing the goalkeeper could do about that. They deserved the win just because they worked so hard for it.
"We had a lot of possession and one or two half chances without having any great chances. It just wasn't our night."
United had fallen behind on a number of previous occasions this season but had always come back to secure at least a point, and more often than not a victory. Not on this occasion however.
"We always feel we can do that and the history of the club is like that," Ferguson added.
"The players we have got are used to making comebacks and in matches we are always a threat. We were in some respects tonight also.
"But they defended really well and the goalkeeper made two or three really good saves."
Ferguson had been unable to call upon England forward Wayne Rooney because of tonsillitis. Javier Hernandez, the Mexico forward, made a rare start after netting five goals in the previous eight games mainly from the bench, but he and Robin van Persie did not fashion any clear chances to beat John Ruddy in the home goal.
"You always miss your good players, there's no question about that, but we had plenty of good players on the pitch tonight," Ferguson said.
Norwich had won none of their first seven Premier League games under Chris Hughton, who succeeded Paul Lambert as manager in the summer but are now unbeaten in their last six games in all competitions.
That run began with a home victory over Arsenal by exactly the same score-line but Hughton insisted beating Manchester United was the bigger achievement.
"It's our best result of the season simply because it's Manchester United," he said.
"They tested us more than anybody we have played this season but we were resilient enough. We are on a good run at the moment and we were able to use the confidence we had from that today.
"It's certainly a wonderful achievement to get a result against the likes of these. It's still three points but there is a great feeling tonight because it's Manchester United. After the first few games of the season where we had a few good performances but didn't get the rub of the green it is just so vital to pick up points.
"We have proved that we can do that but we know our levels. If we fall below then we can get beat. We need to play at that level, which will give us a chance.
"Over the 90 minutes we deserved what we got. It was such a resilient performance and we limited them to minimal chances. They got a lot of ball into the box because that's what Manchester United do and however well you play it's difficult to stop that.
"But we defended well as a unit and we could have, with a little more composure at the end, have sealed it a little bit earlier.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Auto Giant Refused Disabled Employee's Request to Telework And Fired Her Instead, Federal Agency Charges
DETROIT – Ford Motor Company, Inc. has been sued by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for failing to provide a reasonable accommodation to a disabled employee at its Dearborn, Mich., facility. Instead of accommodating her, Ford retaliated against her by subjecting her to progressive discipline and ultimately firing her, the EEOC charged in a lawsuit it filed on August 26, 2011.
The lawsuit (EEOC v. Ford Motor Company, Inc., Case No. 2:11CV13742), filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, alleges that Ford violated the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) when it refused to let Jane Harris participate in its liberal telecommuting program as a reasonable accommodation for her gastro-intestinal condition. Instead, Ford began to criticize her performance, placed her on a "performance enhancement plan," and discharged her only months after she complained about being denied an accommodation.
"Failing to offer a reasonable accommodation to an employee and then discharging her under these circumstances is a clear violation of the ADA," said Nedra Campbell, trial attorney for the EEOC. "Ford denied Ms. Harris's request without considering its legal obligations."
The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The agency seeks to recover monetary compensation for Harris, including back pay and compensatory damages for emotional distress, as well as punitive damages.
With more than 200,000, employees and operations worldwide, Ford currently ranks as the second largest automaker in the United States.
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

There's a reason most of you never make it to the early performances at Lollapalooza.
The festival parties are often the best parties of the year in Chicago and allow you to mingle with celebrities and watch big name artists perform in smaller venues than normal. Sure, you might oversleep the next morning and won't feel too great when you do finally wake up, but in most cases it's worth it.
Below is a list of the Lollapaloza parties that have officially been announced so far. Look for more events to be added to the list over the next few days.

Former Wimbledon champion Anne Jones was among British sports personalities included in the United Kingdom's New Year's honours list on Monday.
Jones, who won the Venus Rosewater Dish in 1969 by beating American Billie-Jean King in the final, was made a Commander of the British Empire (CBE).
The award to Jones came at a time when Wimbledon men's champion Andy Murray had been tipped for a knighthood but was surprisingly omitted from the list.
Murray, awarded an OBE (Order of the British Empire) last year, ended a 77-year wait for a British men's champion at the All England Club when he beat Serbia's Novak Djokovic in the final in July.
Former 10,000 metres world record holder David Bedford, a key figure in organising the London Marathon for a decade until 2012, was awarded an OBE.
"I had an exciting and eventful athletics career but I'm more proud to be part of an incredible event whose fundraising has totalled over half a billion pounds for charitable causes since its inception, and attracts the world's best distance runners to London each year. London is viewed by most people as the best marathon in the world," Bedford was quoted as saying.
Other sports personalities on the list include former England cricketer Geoff Miller, who has just retired as a test team selector, was also awarded an OBE.
"It's marvellous to see Geoff recognised in this way for the outstanding service he has given to cricket over the past five decades - firstly as a player for Derbyshire, Essex and England, and more recently as our national selector," said England Cricket Board chief executive officer David Collier.
Former Football Association chairman David Bernstein was made a CBE for services to football.
Women's football was honoured with an OBE for Rachel Yankey, the most capped England player, having been made an MBE (Member of the British Empire) in 2006, and Katy McLean, captain of the England women's rugby union team, was made an MBE.
A woman involved in men's football, West Ham United vice-chairman Karren Brady, was made a CBE for services to entrepreneurship and women in business.
Stuart Cummings, a former rugby league referee who retired as the sports' match officials director earlier this year, was made a MBE.

Supreme Court refuses to consider Rhoades case
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to consider the case of Idaho death-row inmate Paul Ezra Rhoades, effectively ending the appeals of his death sentence.
Rhoades was convicted of three murders in Idaho Falls and Blackfoot in 1988 and sentenced to death for two of them. In his petition to the U.S. Supreme Court, Rhoades said a lower court judge was wrong to refuse to have an evidentiary hearing on claims that his attorneys were ineffective when it came time to present evidence of mental illness during his sentencing.
The ruling means Rhoades could become the first person executed in Idaho since 1994, and the only person to be involuntarily executed in the last half-century.
But Rhoades still has a few options to potentially stop or stave off an execution. He's already filed a lawsuit challenging Idaho's method of lethal injection in Boise's U.S. District Court; the judge in that case could decide to issue another stay of execution while that lawsuit works its way through the courts.
Rhoades also could choose to ask the Idaho State Parole Commission for clemency. The parole commission would then have to decide whether to consider his request, and if it does, whether to make a recommendation on the matter to the governor, who is the only state official with the authority to grant clemency or temporarily stop the execution.
Either way, officials at the Idaho Department of Correction already are taking the steps necessary to hold an execution, including building a new execution chamber and revamping state policy to reflect current court rulings.
Rhoades was given two death sentences for the rape and murder of 34-year-old Idaho Falls teacher Susan Michelbacher in March 1987 and another two death sentences for the February 1987 murder and kidnapping of 24-year-old Stacy Dawn Baldwin, a Blackfoot convenience store clerk. Rhoades also was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after pleading guilty to the March 1987 murder of 21-year-old Nolan Haddon, a Blackfoot man who worked at an Idaho Falls convenience store.
Rhoades has already appealed and lost several aspects of his case. In his only remaining challenge, he asked the U.S. Supreme Court to find that a lower court judge should have held a hearing to consider evidence on his claim that his attorneys didn't do enough to investigate his mental health issues, which Rhoades said would have showed he deserved a lesser sentence. For instance, Rhoades said his attorneys didn't provide their own experts with enough information about Rhoades' past mental health problems, family issues and drug use.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has already rejected that claim. In a July 2010 ruling, 9th Circuit Judge Pamela Ann Rymer said that even if all of Rhoades' mitigating evidence had been presented at his sentencing, it wouldn't have outweighed the heinousness of his crimes.
The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to mail its ruling to the 9th Circuit, which will then issue a mandate to the federal court in Boise lifting the stay of execution on Rhoades' case. That will free the Idaho Attorney General's Office to ask a Bonneville County judge for a death warrant.
The judge would then set an execution date within 30 days of issuing the death warrant.

- Portfolio choice (1) (remove)
This research analyzes tradingstrategies with derivatives when there are several assets and risk factors. We investigate portfolio improvement if investors have full and partialaccess to the derivativesmarkets, i.e. situations in which derivatives are written on some but not all stocks or risk factors traded on the market. The focus is on markets with jump risk. In these markets the choice of optimal exposures to jump and diffusion risk is linked. In a numerical application we study the potential benefit from adding derivatives to the market. It turns out that e.g. diffusion correlation and volatility or jump sizes may have a significant impact on the benefit of a new derivative product even if market prices of risk remain unchanged. Given the structure of risk investors may have different preferences for making risk factors tradable. Utility gains provided by new derivatives may be both increasing or decreasing depending on the type of contract added.

Home-Based Business — Selling by Consignment
Wanda Eubank
Department of Environmental Design
Selling on consignment is a practice frequently used by artists and craftspeople. It literally means that they give over their work to another's care for display and sale. The retailer keeps a percentage of the sale price as a commission when the sale is made.
These are some of the reasons for consigning:
- Exposes artisan to the buying public.
- Eliminates time and space requirement of maintaining own shop.
- Results in more profit due to less overhead.
- Creates opportunities for wholesale sales.
- Gives artists more control over their work.
Artisans who retail at craft shows must cope with entry fees, tax numbers, transportation costs, set-up and take-down time, food and lodging expense and the risk of poor response. A major advantage of consigning is that a retailer sells the craft at consistent hours. The artisan benefits from the shop's reputation, advertising and repeat business.
Disadvantages of consigning include these:
- Record keeping needed to keep track of placement and payment.
- Time lapse between placement and payment.
- The artist's work is tied up in seller's inventory.
- Inventory damage, loss or theft unless guaranteed by retailer.
- Possible loss to the retailer's creditors unless artisans take the necessary steps under the Uniform Commercial Code to protect themselves.
- Lack of control of advertising and product promotion.
One big disadvantage to this form of selling is the amount of paperwork needed to protect and satisfy both artisan and retailer. In a successful consignment arrangement, there is some form of inventory control and an agreement which details the rights and responsibilities of both parties.
The consignment agreement should cover these points:
Product description
This should accompany each product. Include a concise but detailed description and specify the number of items left. Provide a narrative that might help identify of an item. Good management of an inventory system will aid both artisan and retailer.
Terms of consignment
Indicate the time period for which items will be left with retailer. Some stores prefer to buy stock outright. Others offer "guaranteed sales" agreements. This means that they buy stock and, after a certain length of time, they can exchange unsold items for new or different pieces of work. A retailer may request the courtesy of exclusive right to sell the product in a given geographic area. A retailer may decline the opportunity to handle the product if the artisan is to be a competitor.
Both parties should agree on the amount or percentage of price the artisan receives and how much is due the retailer as commission. A common arrangement is 60 percent for artisan and 40 percent for retailer before sales tax. Terms do vary and are often negotiable. The retailer pays the sales tax.
Payment method
Monthly payments are the traditional way to handle compensation. It is the artisan's responsibility to keep track of expenses and payments for income tax purposes. Special orders require a deposit from the purchaser, which is immediately passed on to the artisan. The balance of the payment is passed on when the item is delivered.
Damage, loss or theft
The agreement should clearly state who is responsible for insuring items on the shop's premises or being transported by the retailer. Artisan and retailer should have a mutual understanding about damage or loss of merchandise from fire, theft, breakage or soiling. The retailer may stipulate that he or she will assume no product liability and that the artisan will hold the retailer harmless in action arising from the use and sale of that product.
Security agreement
Regardless of what the contract says, artisans who fail to take certain steps under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) could lose their goods to creditors of the retailer. A lawyer can help with these filings, which are made through the Secretary of State and the County Recorder. This protects the artisan's property in case the retailer should file for bankruptcy or creditors claim the inventory.
The major purpose of consignment is sales. Artisans tend to concentrate on creating; retailers focus on the business of selling. These points might be helpful to both:
Decide where you want to place your work
Look at several retailers. Watch the street traffic. Does the atmosphere of the shop complement your work? Does your product fit in?
Check out the shop
Does it have an honest reputation? Do they pay regularly? Ask around. Get references.
Get to know the owner/manager/buyer
Strike up a conversation. If the personnel won't take time for this, they may not be aggressive at selling your merchandise.
Set up a time to discuss and view your work
Don't walk in with a box of merchandise. Have photos, slides or pieces in your car. Work at the buyer's convenience. If you cannot return, or the buyer is not in, leave or send slides or photos of your work with the courtesy of a self-addressed, stamped return envelope. Don't send or leave samples unless requested. Retailers are not obligated to return unsolicited items.
Discuss promotion, advertising and display
Does the retailer own merchandise that has priority? Ask if the shop will accept your display. If accepted, list on your inventory with its dollar value.
Review the consignment agreement
If either retailer or artisan is reluctant to sign, the arrangement is probably not a good one.
Prepare and present an inventory sheet with each delivery
Use your form or the retailer's; keep a copy for your records. Keep this up to date with payment summaries. It helps to provide count totals with the listings. Note total number of pieces. Note display units or racks and their value.

Dr. Tom Fletcher, a WHO physician (left) is pictured with Abdullah, an Ebola survivor in Guinea. Image courtesy of WHO/M-A. Heine
When Abdullah D. saw a doctor in the hospital close to his home in Conakry in late March 2014, he had high fever, headaches and felt very weak. The doctor immediately called in the infectious disease experts who arranged for Abdullah to be admitted to the country's isolation facility at Donka, one of the biggest hospitals in the Guinean capital Conakry. When a laboratory test confirmed that Abdullah was infected with Ebola, he was devastated.
"I spent 10 days in the isolation ward," says the 29-year-old father of twins who works as a retailer in the Guinean capital. "I was convinced that I would never again see my wife and kids."
Abdullah was cared for by specialists from the Guinean Ministry of Health supported by doctors and nurses from Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and WHO, who are working together to run the isolation ward at Donka Teaching Hospital.
"Abdullah was very weak and unwell when he first arrived at Donka," says Dr. Tom Fletcher, a WHO infectious disease expert who came to Guinea to help with the outbreak response. "I wasn't sure he would survive. But his case shows that the care people are getting in the isolation ward is crucial and improves their odds of survival."
There is neither a vaccine nor a specific treatment for Ebola virus disease. People who are severely ill with the disease require intensive medical support including oral rehydration salts or an intravenous drip for extra fluids, antimicrobial medicines, pain killers and nutritious food. The earlier they go to hospital and get appropriate care the higher their chance of survival.
By April 14, 2014, more than 100 people had been confirmed or suspected of having contracted Ebola in Guinea and more than half had died. But to-date, nine patients who were admitted to this hospital have recovered and returned home in good health.
But recovery is not always the end of the battle for former Ebola patients. Many find it difficult to be accepted by their neighbours who are fearful of the disease.
Fanta S., a 24-year-old teacher from Conakry, who returned home after laboratory tests showed she was no longer infected with Ebola, felt the stigma of the disease.
"Many people were shocked to see me alive and looked at me as if they were seeing a ghost," she said during a check-up at hospital a few days after her release. "My family supported me, but I closed myself up in my room and cried for two hours." She is still not sure when she will be allowed back at work.
Doctors and nurses at Donka fought for Abdullah's life for five days. Finally, his condition improved and his fever went down. When he had gone a couple of days without any symptoms including fever, diarrhoea, vomiting or bleeding, they took a new blood sample.
Abdullah waited impatiently for the results and was incredibly pleased and relieved when he heard that the sample was negative.
"I felt as if I was reborn and could not wait to hug my twins again," he says. "The doctors really took great care of me and I'm telling everyone that people who are infected need to go to the hospital."
While it is safe for Abdullah to interact with others in his community, he will have to take some precautions when it comes to his bodily fluids, as the virus can remain there for at least three months. For example, he will have to use condoms to ensure that he doesn't pass the virus to his wife. But doctors hope he will never be able to contract Ebola Zaire again.

Guess What? Your Employees Don't Care What You Say
A strange thing is happening in the enterprise. Whereas once it was the CIO who decided what technology would be used in the workplace, nowadays employees are often making that decision. With BYOD and consumerization impacting companies around the globe, employees are now deciding which mobile devices they will use in the office. And when it's time for them to use a computer to do their work, they are increasingly opting for their own PCs rather than those supplied by the company.
This freedom in the enterprise has helped companies in certain respects. Employees who use their own devices tend to work more and be more productive. Plus, the cost of acquiring new hardware--long a drain on IT budgets--has dropped. However, with freedom comes trouble. Despite the IT's best efforts at keeping employees restricted to certain services, employees are not listening to CIOs, according to a new study from enterprise storage provider Nasuni. In fact, whenever employees are limited to certain services, they usually find ways to get around the policy. It's a major issue in the workplace for CIOs.

The weakest link in security is the user himself, so remember to keep track of all connections on your computer. It would help to spoof your IP and MAC address from time to time. For your router, use WPA2/PSK and create a long password with a combination of random letters, numbers, symbols and caps. It's paranoid security. Nobody should bother you with that.
Well damn.. Either someone's paranoid, or just really smart.

Savage O/U model 42
I really like what I'm reading about the new Savage 42 with the 22 cal rifle barrel over a 410 ga scatter gun barrel. Seems like the perfect combination of ammo for squirrel hunting and it could well be my next purchase. Anyone out there have real experience with one?

I have an older Model 24 s/e 22/410 I've had for a long time.
The first two years I lived in Alaska I lived in a little cabin north of Healy. I worked for the railroad in the summer and was laid off in the winter.
I pretty much fed my young family with that gun, snowshoe rabbits and ptarmigan.
If for some reason I had to get rid of all my guns, that would be the last one to go.
Not a glamorous as most guns, but functional, reliable, and I know with it I could always eat.
Don't know about the Savage 42, but if its anything like the 24, its will worth keeping in any gun stable.

I've got an old Savage 24 also and think it's a great gun. Perfect for chasing small game with the .22/.410 chamberings. The 42 is the update version of the Model 24, I expect it should provide years of service for you and should also make a great small game gun.

I've been looking at the Model 42 and can see the usefulness of such a firearm.
Plus the .410 barrel seems to be cylinder choke ( I could be wrong) but that would give it a good capability to use with '000' buck and slugs.

I had a Mod 24 O/U in .22/20 gauge and it wasn't ideal for my uses, which included grouse and woodcock, jump-shooting ducks along small streams and other small game.
The sights were terrible, the .22LR barrel wasn't that accurate and the 20 gauge barrel threw an extra-full pattern. Because it had a rifle barrel, it was illegal for hunting ducks.
I found it was too slow to cock for flushing grouse.

As for the initial topic, I haven't shot a 42 but handled one in a store for a while. My initial impression was that it felt and looked like a toy (i.e. cheap). The sights did not impress me at all, and the ergonomics didn't seem great. With the crude sights, I don't think it would be a great .22, and with the short (20"), lightweight barrels, it didn't feel like it would handle well as a wingshooting shotgun.
I'd like to see a company try a combination gun weighing between 6.5 and 7 pounds with low profile aperture sights to improve aiming precision with the rifle/slugs and slightly longer barrels (24" maybe, which I think is what the older 24s had) to improve barrel movement on flying targets.
As for calibers, I'd like to see a .357/20 gauge (with choke tubes) option. .38 specials could be used on small game without blowing them up, 357's could be used on varmints/predators and smaller deer out to 100 yards or better. Slugs could take larger deer out to around 75 yards. And 20 gauge shot shells could drop anything from woodcock to turkey with the right choke and ammo. Of course, getting a gun to shoot all that to same POI probably couldn't happen.

I've also looked at the 42 (again without having had the chance to fire it).
Everything impressed me except (a) the extractor/ejector assembly feels like plastic and (b) the sights are awful. The first one isn't a deal-breaker for me, but the second certainly is.
If this thing could be scoped easily, I would possibly reconsider. But the sights are as much the heart of the system as the barrel is. If they suck, the whole thing sucks, yes?

Not to extend an argument but my first deer was with a .410 that my dad had emptied the 6 shot from a 3 inch shell and reloaded with #1 buck. I would not recommend but I was a young child at the time. The 9 point ran about 20 yards. He has been on the wall for the past 50 years. A .410 will kill.

Just my opinion - limit your .410 slug shots to bow distances (30ish yards) and even the big bucks will drop on the spot.
My take on the the Savage 42 - Overpriced (Wal-Mart sells for $370).
Crude sights - someday, I'm going to look into getting them replaced.
You read it here first - the trigger is pathetic. Not the pull but the design. The upper part of the trigger pivots into the frame of the gun so your trigger finger has to slide down the trigger when you pull it unless you place your finger at the very end of the trigger (never seen this before).
I think it is just a matter of time before Savage drops this rifle from the lineup (if it wer $200ish - might be a different story) -All said - I would buy one again just because of the single shot .410 and single shot 22LR I owned as a kid. Now I have both rolled into one, slender, lightweight package.

HARRISON, N.J. – Thierry Henry scored his league-leading ninth goal of the season and rookie goalkeeper Ryan Meara made five saves to record his first career shutout as the New England Revolution suffered a 1-0 loss to the New York Red Bulls on Saturday afternoon at Red Bull Arena.
Henry scored the game's only goal in the seventh minute before exiting the game with a right hamstring injury in the 25th minute. The Revs (2-5-0, 6 pts.) controlled possession for large stretches after Henry's departure but the Red Bulls (4-3-1, 13 pts.) held on for their first clean sheet of the 2012 season.
Shalrie Joseph returned from suspension to partner Clyde Simms in New England's central midfield, pushing Kelyn Rowe to the right wing in place of the injured Ryan Guy (R calf tightness).
The Red Bulls were on the front foot from the opening whistle and their industriousness paid off in the seventh minute. Left back Connor Lade played a searching ball out of the back and Henry chased, fighting off the challenge of Stephen McCarthy before expertly lofting the ball over Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis from 20 yards out.
Kenny Cooper threatened to double the hosts' advantage in the 11th minute with a knuckling drive from the top of the box, but Reis was alert to the danger and made a one-handed save. Reis was beaten by Dax McCarty in the 12th minute, but the midfielder's volley slammed off the right post.
New England created its first quality chance in the 20th minute when a one-two between Saer Sène and Jose Moreno sent Sène into the box, but Meara charged off his line and stuffed Sène's close-range effort. Sène went close again in the 38th minute when he weaved his way through New York's backline with ease only to see his low shot pushed off the right post by Meara.
Benny Feilhaber replaced Kelyn Rowe to start the second half and the move almost paid dividends in the 77th minute. Joseph's clever chip over the top found Feilhaber behind the Red Bulls' backline but the midfielder's deft header was right at Meara.
New York's rookie goalkeeper came up big twice more to preserve the shutout in the closing stages. Feilhaber tested Meara once again the 88th minute with a knuckling drive from 15 yards out and Lee Nguyen put a curling effort on frame from a similar spot in the second minute of stoppage time but Meara was up to the task on both occasions.
The Revs continue their three-games-in-eight-days stretch on Wednesday, May 2, when they'll welcome the Colorado Rapids to Gillette Stadium. Kickoff for the midweek encounter is set for 8 p.m.

A virtual private network (VPN) is a secure method of accessing University computing resources when you are logged in from an off–campus computer or a laptop. The VPN creates a secure connection called a tunnel between your computer and the campus network. The tunnel disguises the information you are sending and receiving, so your electronic communications are secure and protected.
Why Should I Use VPN?
Enhanced security and privacy are the two main reasons to use VPN. You also have an ability to access University resources such as information on your network drives. This provides you with a safe way of accessing your applications and files as though your computer or mobile device was on campus.
New Virtual Private Network
Faculty, staff and students who use CSUN's virtual private network (VPN) to access campus resources from off-campus now have access to the new VPN (Pulse Secure). CSUN's previous solution will remain available until the end of Spring 2016 semester.
How Do I Get VPN?

Co-op action? Check. Gruesome creatures? Check. Gore galore? Check. Kick-ass soundtrack? Che- er... we'll let you be the judge. See the launch trailer below:
Hunted: The Demon's Forge is a PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Windows PC game. The dungeon crawl begins on May 31.
Sharkey says: I'm a big fan of the visual style of Hunted. Creatures, characters, and setting all look terrific. I've been looking forward to seeing Brian Fargo's comeback game since it was announced last March. Can't wait to finally dive into it on Tuesday.

Our mission is to ensure that the history of Smithtown Township and our Long Island heritage is preserved and interpreted for the education and enjoyment of current and future generations.
Our mission is carried out through collection, conservation, living history events, and community engagement. We actively promote the importance of history and preservation, and maintain six houses and eight outbuildings at three locations: the Obadiah Smith House, the Caleb Smith II House, and the twenty-acre Village of the Branch Historic District Site.
We depend upon a dedicated group of volunteers to assist the professional staff in managing special events and programs. There are a wide range of opportunities for volunteers at the Society including helping with fundraising and cultural events, assisting in office duties or children's programs, tending to tasks on our grounds, or caring for our animals. To learn more about the Smithtown Historical Society and the opportunities and benefits its historic resources offer the community, please call our office at (631) 265-6768.
