The Opening Reception and Photo Exhibit was an overture to the three days, thanks to alum Ave Butensky who arranged for the members of the UW Band to pep up the crowd. By the time we all stood to sing "Varsity," everyone was ready to party.
Christopher Guest curated the photography exhibit. He had been Wisconsin Photographer of the Year while on the Cardinal. There was a slide show of historic photos from the paper and a select few were on display. They were auctioned off Saturday night to raise money for DCAA scholarships. Over $1500 was raised.
The slideshow has now been uploaded cardinal photos

Winning bidders were:
Alex Kusters (Bascom Hill crosses)
Dave Lee (students at the door of the Cardinal) + Joan Lebow (Nazi Party speaker addressing crowd) + Ave Butensky (Bucky Wagon) + Sarah Wieckert (students on Bascom Hill on a sunny day) + Jason Heiser (Blinko for President) + Vincent Filak (formation of planes over Capitol) +Jack Bell (1955 Bucky Badger) + Mary Jo Ross (Bascom Hill flamingos) + Caitlin Cieslik-Miskimen (Badger Block at football game
Richard Schickel opened the formal presentations on Friday. A Cardinal alum, he is perhaps best known as the film critic at Time until 2009. He now reviews for the blog Truthdig.com.

Ave Butensky led the all-Cardinal alum Emmy and Peabody panel with Steve Reiner, Mark Saxenmeyer, Peter Greenberg and Chuck Salituro.
The Pultitzer Prize panel featured Cardinal alums Walt Bogdanich, Abigail Goldman, Dan Uemhofer, Neal Ulevich, Eric Newhouse and Naomi Patton as moderator.
Both events were open to the public and Journalism School faculty and students were encouraged to attend.
The speakers described their careers at the Cardinal and cited their experience on the paper, and the lessons learned there, as reasons for their later success. The audience peppered them with questions.
The best, without a doubt, came from Gene Wells who noted that none of the Pulitzer winners had been Editors-in-Chief. He pondered the significance of that fact—to the amusement of many, including attending editors-in-chief. Gene is in a good position to comment on all matters Cardinal; he has worked on the paper since 1964 and was Anthony Shadid's copy editor in 1974. He continues to come to the office sporadically and is remembered fondly as a colleague by several generations of staff.
The Daily Cardinal staff pulled out all the stops (and munchies) for alums at their Open House. For four hours, everyone was a student again.
"Where's my desk," asked Jonathan Rubin, "I used to sit right here. They moved it." Former photographers marveled that the long-unused darkroom still had an enlarger and a Senrac Rapid Roll Film Dryer in storage. The SRRFD was invented and manufactured by David Spradling, a Cardinal photographer and donated to the Cardinal in 1966.
1942 editor Robert Lewis seemed pleased with all the attention from the young staff. Bob had met the Cardinal founder William Wesley Young at the Cardinal's 50th anniversary in 1942. Ave Butensky encouraged all to shake Bob's hand and establish "two degrees of separation" from the founder.

The old rim, or copydesk, was covered with back issues and bound volumes. It was a popular meeting place as generations mingled. The older ones described the days of linotypes and letterpresses to those who remembered tape and cold type. "Look at those hair styles," was a frequent observation.
The couch in the darkroom brought back memories for many (no further comment is necessary). It appears to be aging quite well.
The finale and highlight was the Gala at the Orpheum Theater Saturday night. The old stage and movie house looked downright elegant in its candlelight and refurbished interior. A spectacular cake copied the front page of the Cardinal's special 120th anniversary issue and 400 cupcakes enticed many alums into indulgence.
Jennie Sereno, president of the Daily Cardinal Media Corporation, the paper's governing board, welcomed everyone to the event.
Kayla Johnson, outgoing Cardinal editor-in-chief, gave a stirring encapsulation of the paper's history, its legends and camaraderie, its traditions and sense of self. One mystery was solved: Kayla noted the legend evolving behind the hole in the wall of the darkroom. Alum Mary B. Good (said her name tag) raised her hand and admitted to being the culprit. She later said she was "just so angry" over the treatment of women by society in general.
Outgoing editors Nico Savidge and Kayla Johnson
Michael Looby usurped the stage to give Allison Hantschel Sansone the gratitude of everyone who attended the highly successful three-day event she had arranged. A founding member of the DCAA board, Allison is taking a well-earned respite. An engraved crystal vase was presented to her on behalf of her colleagues on the board. Allison later posted a wonderful tribute to the Cardinal. Click here Allison
Anthony Sansone, founder and president of DCAA, was also honored for his vision, determination and hard work in building the organization which has donated $200,000 to the student staff over the past few years in education, travel and equipment expenses. A mentoring program and craft-specific workshops augment the experience of those working on the Cardinal.
Sharon Forsmo announced an ongoing scholarship in the name of her late husband, Jim Forsmo. It will benefit graphic artists and photographers on the staff. The first winner, Dylan Moriarty, accepted his award.
Christina Pretto introduced a moving video in memory of Cardinalista Anthony Shadid who died on assignment in Syria earlier this year. She represented the Shadid Brigade, Anthony's colleagues on the paper who formed their group when the New York Times reporter was held captive in Libya a few years ago. A memorial fund has been set up. [Shadid Memorial]

EMC Corporation honored its employee Anthony Sansone for his years of service to the DCAA. He had asked that the check be made out to DCAA; further details on its use will be publicized later, but it will involve rewards for excellence by the paper's staff.
An unexpected delight was the door prize, arranged by the current Cardinal staff, of an new iPod, courtesy of an advertiser, the UW DoIT Tech Store. It was won by Les Chappell.
Dancing concluded the evening, followed by beer and burgers at the Plaza.
The young Cardinalista-to-be, Colton Lasker, joined his great-grandfather Bob Lewis (Cardinal editor 1942) and his father Adam Lasker (Cardinal editor 1998-99) at the event.

The Wisconsin Watchdog Awards dinner, hosted by Andy Hall of the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism, featured Cardinal alum Walt Bogdanich as its speaker. Walt gave an amusing and insightful account of his career in newspapers and television.
Walt Bogdanich
Cardinal staffers from the 1960s gathered at State Street Brats (known to them as "the Brat Haus") to remember colleagues, the days of transition from letterpress to offset, from hot lead to cold type and the early days of "the revolution." This is the generation that wasn't on campus when the organic material hit the ventilating device but who were responsible for plugging in the fan.
The UW School of Journalism and Mass Communications dinner was attended by many Cardinal alums and honored two alums of the student newspaper, among others. "Our guys" were Jack Harned and Steve Paulson. Harned is a former daily newspaper reporter, Senator Proxmire's first press secretary, a public relations manager at General Motors and cofounder of AutoCom Associates in Detroit. Paulson is interviewer and executive producer of To The Best Of Our Knowledge (TTBOOK) on NPR.
Two '60s Cardinalistas used their presence in Madison to rekindle another tradition -- attending a political demonstration on the grounds of the state Capitol. Braving the rain and cold, they joined a few hundred women (and men), young and old, in protesting the "war on women" being waged by Republican Gov. Scott Walker—repealing the state's equal-pay law, attacking the nurses and teachers unions (but not police or firefighters), cutting back on access to Medicaid for low-income women and children, and more. Just like old times, agreed Gail Bensinger and Nancy Olesen.

Annual Fund Campaign
You should have just received your request for a donation to The Daily Cardinal Alumni Association Annual Fund. We know this comes right after the invitations to the 120th anniversary and reunion and, yes, it is a bit awkward but these are separate causes.
DCAA relies on Cardinal alums to support its Annual Fund that provides programs, from planning reunions to student staff mentoring, training and support. In the past ten+ years, we've provided the newspaper with almost $200,000 for workshops, equipment, scholarships, and travel funds.
In 2011, we raised $11,878, or 23% more than the previous year. This total does not include the funds raised for the Forsmo Scholarship nor the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's partial underwriting of expenses for the upcoming reunion.
Looking forward in 2012, we are budgeting for another increase; the year is going to be particularly busy and the students hope to repeat their attendance at the Democratic and Republican conventions.
Please help DCAA and the Cardinal.
Donations can be made via Paypal or by mailing a check. [Checks are preferred; credit cards or PayPal get no percentage.]
Mail your check to DCAA, 159 N Marion St #182, Oak Park, IL 60301-1032.
How the DCAA Spends Your Annual Donations
DCAA 2012 Budget
The DCAA will seek to raise at least $16,000 in 2012 to cover the stated expenses.

Michael Looby is head of fundraising for DCAA. Mike has a long history with the Cardinal. He was Campus Reporter for five semesters, a Day Editor, a Night Editor for two semesters, and the Business Manager for a year. He was also active on the governing body of The Daily Cardinal, including Secretary/Treasurer, and later President, of the Daily Cardinal Corporation. Mike is currently Director of Planned, Major Giving and Corporate Relations at Carmel Catholic High School. He owned his own printing broker business, Diversified Graphics. The production and writing skills learned at the DC and University Typography Lab were invaluable. In his spare time, he plays a lot of tennis and enjoys wallpapering and painting.
Naomi R. Patton is Press Secretary to City of Detroit Mayor Dave Bing. Prior to joining the Bing administration, Patton was an enterprise and general assignment reporter for the Detroit Free Press. She covered Detroit City Hall at the height of the text message scandal that forced former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to resign, and was part of the team that earned the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting. She was previously night general assignment reporter, covering police, city government, and features at the Wisconsin State Journal. She began her newspaper career at the Milwaukee Community Journal, Wisconsin's largest African-American newspaper. Naomi joined The Daily Cardinal staff in November of 1990. Her first article -- and front page story -- assigned by City Editor Greg Larson was on the United Nations Security Council resolution authorizing force to remove Iraqi forces from Kuwait if they didn't meet a January deadline. (She still has that clip.)
Adam Lasker, treasurer of DCAA, is now a Contributing Writer at the llinois State Bar Association.
Tom Griffin '73, '77, left his position as editor of the University of Washington alumni magazine three years ago to start working for travel guru Rick Steves. Tom edits guidebooks, helps put together Rick's newspaper column, and does occasional guidebook research. Last year he was in Norway and Sweden, and two years ago he did research in Greece. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it. And, if you are interested in the outdoors, tales of adventure, or just good essay writing, we'll recommend a new book, The Pacific Crest Trailside Reader, from Mountaineers Press. Volume 2 includes an account of a rainy trip through the Goat Rocks Wilderness written by Griffin. If you buy this book, all proceeds go to the Pacific Crest Trail Association.
Pamela Redmond (Baumgard when she was arts and summer editor of the Cardinal in 1975 and now Satran) is the author of the new novel The Possibility of You, published by Simon & Schuster. This is Redmond Satran's sixth novel; her other books include the New York Times bestselling humor book How Not To Act Old. She is also a creator of the million-visitor website Nameberry.com, based on the ten baby name books she coauthored, and a columnist for Glamour. She writes frequently for such publications as The Huffington Post and The Daily Beast.
Pamela will be attending the reunion and she will be reading from her latest novel on Sunday April 30, at 2 pm that weekend at Rainbow Book Cooperative. There is some good historical content about women dealing with issues of contraception from the Sanger raid through the present.

Anthony Shadid, Senior Middle East correspondent for the New York Times has died in Syria. Tony was a alum of The Daily Cardinal. The winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, The Times has nominated him and his colleagues for a third as part of their Arab Spring reporting team this year.
Anthony Sansone, president of The Daily Cardinal Alumni Association, issued the following statement:
Anthony Shadid was what we wanted to be; what we want journalists to be: resourceful in getting the story and dedicated to seeking the truth. Anthony was a gifted writer and an incredibly resourceful reporter.
When honored for the second time at the DCAA's 2005 Awards Dinner for his first Pulitzer Prize, he said that working at the Daily Cardinal was the hardest job he ever had. This was after being shot in Rumullah and covering the Iraq War.
He always made time for the Cardinal and its staff whenever he could, whenever he was in town or whenever he could take a call or reply to an email. He loved talking to the students. He loved journalism. He loved the Cardinal.
Looking to the Cardinal's 120th Anniversary in April, he wrote to the DCAA: "I can't believe I'm missing the 120th anniversary. I'll have to make sure to be there for the 125th. Good luck. I'll be with you all in spirit."
Yes, he will.
He is one of us. He was the best of us. We loved him. And we will miss him.
Fellow Cardinal alum Paul Norton posted:
Here's an Anthony comment we can all treasure: "The Cardinal days seem like so long ago, but they really were the place we all became who we are."
Tony's new book will be out next month, House of Stone: A Memoir of Home, Family, and a Lost Middle East. According to the book's blurb:
"Last spring, when Tony—one of four New York Times reporters captured in Libya as the region erupted—was freed, he went home. Not to Boston, Beirut, or Oklahoma where he was raised by his Lebanese-American family, but to an ancient estate built by his great-grandfather, a place filled with memories of a lost era when the Middle East was a world of grace, grandeur, and unexpected departures.
"For two years previous, Shadid had worked to reconstruct the house and restore his spirit after both had weathered war. Now the author of the award-winning Night Draws Near (National Book Critics Circle Award finalist, Los Angeles Times Book Prize) tells the story of the house's re-creation, revealing its mysteries and recovering the lives that have passed through it. Shadid juxtaposes past and present as he traces the house's renewal along with his family's flight from Lebanon and resettlement in America.
"House of Stone is an unforgettable memoir of the world's most volatile landscape and the universal yearning for home."
The DCAA and the University of Wisconsin Foundation will be making an announcement about a scholarship in Anthony Shadid's memory in the next few weeks.

Allison Hantschel Sansone is organizing the 120th anniversary gala for Cardinal alums. One of the original board members of DCAA, she has experience organizing previous reunions but she's really outdone herself with plans for 2012. Allison was Cardinal Editor-in-Chief in the fall of 1994 and Arts Editor in 1995-96, after the shutdown. She worked steadfastly on payables and receivables while the paper was not publishing. She is a ten-year veteran of the newspaper business. She publishes First Draft, a journalism and politics blog, with her partners Adrastos, Jude and Scout. She is the author of It Doesn't End With Us: The Story of the Daily Cardinal (2008, Heritage Books) and Chicago's Historic Irish Pubs (with Mike Danahey) (2011, Arcadia Books). She also edited the anthology Special Plans: The Blogs on Douglas Feith and the Faulty Intelligence That Led to War (2005, William, James & Co.). Her work has appeared in the Chicago Sun-Times, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, the Daily Southtown, Sirens Magazine, and Alternet. She lives in Chicago with her husband, three pet ferrets, and approximately 60 tons of books.
Kayla Torgerson was a reporter, photographer and marketing specialist at the Cardinal from 2009-2011. She is currently an American marketing specialist for an in-bound travel agency based in a suburb of New Delhi, India. The company, Discovery Journeys India, focuses on unique and personalized travel experiences. We do everything from spiritual journeys to active adventure holidays. She reports: "I've been in India for just over two months and so far it has been absolutely incredible! I'm traveling for the company almost every other weekend, and when I'm not traveling I have the opportunity to explore Delhi and my suburb, Gurgaon. I love exploring old markets, meeting new people, wandering into temples, and sampling the wide array of street food. I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to work abroad and travel at the same time. India is an amazing country - the colors, the people, the sounds, and the smells are all overwhelming, but wonderful. India has tested my patience and strength in many ways, but those challenges have helped me learn many things about myself and about the world around me. Right now I can't imagine being anywhere else."
Todd Stevens was on the Cardinal from 2008-2011 as a film reviewer, co-editor of opinion, managing editor and arts editor. He is currently in AmeriCorps with the Community Technology Empowerment Project in the Twin Cities, teaching computer classes for the program at community centers in Saint Paul Public Housing sites. "I am working on applications for law school, and providing a quality institution is kind and/or foolish enough to accept me I will be enrolling next fall. I am also working on a blog about television criticism with follow Cardinal alum (and former 2009 arts editor) Kevin Slane. dvroverflow.tumblr.com.
Michael Clarence Chatt was on the Cardinal forty years ago and has spent his career making the world better for children. A retired social worker, he specialized in older special-needs children; about 100 children were adopted as a result of his efforts in writing social histories and court reports. That is specialty journalism with a great cause. Earlier, he was a VISTA volunteer in Harlem, teaching children.
Marcie Harrison was Assistant Managing Editor on the Cardinal in the mid-1960s and is a DCAA board member. She owns The Harrison Group, a Chicago public relations agency with a strong concentration in healthcare, food service and small business development. Marcie writes: "I learned something while working on the Cardinal that has stayed with me and that is a respect for deadlines. This is a life skill that has served me well. When I have projects due for clients, they are always delivered on time. And I have seen how much clients appreciate that."

The DCAA is entering its age-of-majority with a strong board and definite goals. You can renew friendships and meet other Cardinal people by serving on the DCAA Board. Under new guidelines for board members, potential members are asked to serve on a task force or committee first. Find one of interest and contact the chair. It's a good way to get involved and discover the Cardinal joie de vivre / angst again.

SAMY MOSKOL, State Editor
Being a new news editor for the Cardinal this year, I decided attending the ACP conference in Minneapolis this past summer would help me be more prepared for daily production. During the three day conference, which I attended with this years Campus Editor Alex DiTullio, I chose six different classes to attend led by journalism professors from colleges across the country.
In one, I learned more about how to take advantage of resources that used to be unfamiliar, like FOIA requests and the Student Press Law Center. I also attended a period on Interviewing, a skill area where I needed more confidence. Since I didn't have much of a background in photography, I attended a class about how to choose the right photo stories, which proved helpful and engaging. I also benefited from a class about media law.
In addition to attending lectures, we got the opportunity to tour the Minnesota Daily's office, which was quite overwhelming. (The editor in chief gets paid 30,000 a year I believe.)
But the most rewarding part of the conference was meeting other editors at student newspapers from upstate New York, Texas, Alaska, from all over the country. Hearing their experiences at their own school papers made me realize how much we could relate.
ALEXANDER DITULLIO, Campus Editor
ACP was both informative and thought provoking. It honestly made me feel proud to say I am a journalism major by emphasizing the importance of journalists in the world. The instructors had great insight on important ethical considerations of being a journalist in the future as well as good tips to make the news room a more welcoming environment. I'm really looking forward to applying some of the tips I learned at the conference to the Daily Cardinal.

Do you easily forget names? I do. The truth is I've always been terrible with names, or so I thought.
For years I'd make the excuse that I ran in too many circles of acquaintance to remember everyone — military, hospital, church and journalism. It never seemed fair to me that people who forgot my name always had a reliable alternative of calling me "Chaplain."
Truthfully, I've relied on alternative tricks, too. For instance, I'd use a greeting without using a name. "Hey, what's up?" Or I'd greet the housekeeper with, "How about that football game?"
The problem with that strategy is after you've worked somewhere for a few years, people think it's rude. That's because it is.
Worse yet is to call someone the wrong name. I once had a chaplain supervisor who called me Norm the first month I knew him. After I corrected him, he still didn't get it. He'd just summon me into his office with a mumble that sounded something like, "Nimmmm."
Don't laugh! Some of you use the wrong name or title in the emails you send me. Some readers reverse my first name with my last and call me Mr. Norris. Others misspell my last name as Burk or Burke. My mom will tell you that the "s" that ends both my names is extremely important.
When my emails start with "Chaplin," I know the writer has confused me with the Chaplin (Charlie) who was the iconic filmmaker of the silent era. I'm just a hospital chaplain who is rarely silent.
Of course, I try to be forgiving when someone forgets my name because I know that everyone forgets a name from time to time. It's embarrassing, but we just keep doing it anyway.
Last December, when I started my job working as chaplain for the VA hospital in Sacramento, I asked myself a difficult question. Why do I forget names?
I tried to excuse myself by saying there are good reasons for forgetting names. Sometimes we are stressed or depressed or exhausted. In my case, I had convinced myself I had way too many names to remember.
However, I was "forgetting" names because I didn't care to make the effort to remember. I had centered my world on what I was doing as a chaplain, and not on what the staff and people around me were doing in their world.
So I made a New Year's resolution to work harder at remembering names. In fact, I promised myself that I'd repeatedly ask the same people for their name until I memorized them. I pledged to do this in spite of the fact it would be embarrassing to admit to such a poor memory.
I undertook this strategy because names aren't just funny-sounding words or inconsequential labels. Names represent real people who deserve to be acknowledged as people of God. God must think so too because the Psalmist quoted God as saying, "Don't be afraid, I've redeemed you. I've called your name. You're mine."
My resolution has proved to be the opposite of embarrassing. Now when I'm walking the hospital corridors, I readily greet folks like Stan, Monica and Tim. Then I go to the nursing units and say hello to Judy, Sarah, Mark and Tommy.
I'd recite more names for you, but I'd run out of space. Fortunately, I don't think I'll be running out of new friends anytime soon.

Hey, What's-Your-Face!
Do you easily forget names? I do. The truth is I've always been terrible with names, or so I thought.

text: Treasuries Rise After 30-Year Bond Auction Bids Exceed Average January 9, 2014 09:00 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bloomberg Email Jan. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Treasuries rose after the U.S. auction of $13 billion of 30-year bonds as yields at almost more than two-year highs attracted higher-than-average bids. The bonds drew a yield of 3.899 percent, compared with the median estimate of 3.914 percent in in a Bloomberg News survey of 10 of the Federal Reserve's 21 primary dealers. The bid-to- cover ratio, which gauges demand by comparing the amount bid with the amount offered, was 2.57, the most since October and compared with an average of 2.38 at the past 10 auctions. U.S. debt fluctuated earlier before a government report tomorrow forecast to show the nation's jobless rate held at a five-year low amid speculation the Fed may further curtail its monthly bond-buying. "The market isn't ready to push yields on the long end to much higher and as such the auction was pretty strong after cheapening up into the sale," said Justin Lederer, an interest- rate strategist at Cantor Fitzgerald LP in New York, a primary dealer. "The sector has outperformed on the curve, and as such we could see further flattening." The current 30-year bond yield fell one basis point, or 0.01 percentage point, to 3.88 percent at 1:31 p.m. in New York, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. The 3.75 percent securities due in November 2043 gained 6/32, or $1.88 per $1,000 face amount, to 97 22/32. The yield reached 3.97 percent on Jan. 2, the highest since August 2011 Benchmark 10-year yields lost one basis point to 2.98 percent. The yield climbed to 3.05 percent on Jan. 2, the highest since July 2011. Auction Detail Indirect bidders, a class of investors that includes foreign central banks, bought 44.4 percent of the bonds, compared with 46 percent of last month's offering, the most since April 2011. The average at the past 10 offerings was 39.4 percent. Direct bidders, non-primary-dealer investors that place their bids directly with the Treasury, purchased 17.5 percent of the offering, versus 12.5 percent at last month's sale. The average for the past 10 auctions is 15.6 percent. The auction was the final of three note and bond offerings this week. The U.S. sold $30 billion of three-year debt on Jan. 7 at a yield of 0.799 percent and $21 billion of 10-year securities yesterday at a yield of 3.009 percent. Treasury trading volume at ICAP Plc, the largest inter- dealer broker of U.S. government debt, climbed to $424.1 billion yesterday, the highest level since Dec. 19, and above the 2013 average of $308.4 billion. Inflation Watch The Fed's preferred inflation measure has been below its 2 percent target for 19 months. The personal consumption expenditures index, showed prices rose 0.9 percent in the 12 months ended in November, the Commerce Department said Dec. 23. The gauge hasn't been above 2 percent since April 2012. Pacific Investment Management Co.'s Bill Gross said investors should focus on shorter-maturity debt as the slow pace of inflation signals the Fed's benchmark rate will remain at almost zero until at least 2016. "Bond prices -- especially those at the front end of the yield curves, say one to five years, are critically dependent on the future level of fed funds, not the glide path of the almost preordered Fed taper," of its bond purchases, Gross, manager of the world's biggest bond fund, wrote in his monthly investment outlook posted on Newport Beach, California-based Pimco's website. U.S. 30-year bonds lost 15.1 percent last year and 10-year notes dropped 7.8 percent, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch indexes, as the Fed prepared to taper its bond buying. Policy makers are cutting purchases to $75 billion a month from $85 billion starting this month. Jobs Report U.S. companies boosted payrolls last month by more than economists forecast, a report from ADP Research Institute showed yesterday. The Labor Department will say tomorrow employers added 197,000 workers in December, versus 203,000 the previous month, the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg shows. The unemployment rate will remain at 7 percent, based on the responses. "We are range-bound as the market is pricing in a jobs report of more than 200,000 new jobs," said Ira Jersey, an interest-rate strategist at Credit Suisse Group AG in New York, one of 21 primary dealers that trade with the Fed and are required to bid in U.S. debt auctions. "It will take a big miss one way or another to stray from these yield levels." Ten-year yields will rise to 3.4 percent by Dec. 31, according to Jennifer Vail, head of fixed-income research at Minneapolis based U.S. Bank Wealth Management, which oversees $112 billion. That matched the 3.4 percent level in a Bloomberg survey of financial companies with the most recent forecasts given the heaviest weighting. "We do expect more strength in the labor market and the broader economy, and the Fed has reserved the right to speed up taper if they need to, which means higher rates," she said. --Editors: Paul Cox, Greg Storey To contact the reporters on this story: Daniel Kruger in New York at email@example.com; Cordell Eddings in New York at firstname.lastname@example.com To contact the editor responsible for this story: Dave Liedtka at firstname.lastname@example.com Back to news

Last night T-Mobile sent out the official press release for the G2, but they failed to mention the price or release date. Thanks to a pre-order offer from Best Buy, it looks like the G2 will retail for $199.99 with 2-year contract ($499 full price) and launch October 6th.
Starting tomorrow Friday, September 10, anyone can walk into their local Best Buy or Best Buy Mobile and pre-order the T-Mobile G2. There is no word on exactly how the pre-order will work, so your best bet is to visit or call the store in your area (I suggest making the visit to pick up one of the awesome buyer's guide).
It is possible T-Mobile might price the G2 higher than $199 and offer a rebate for the difference, so hit up Best Buy if you despise mail-in-rebate forms like I do. However, T-Mobile did say they were doing their own limited preorder and existing customers would get early access to the devices. Maybe T-Mobile will enlighten us tomorrow so we can decide if it's a better deal to grab the phone from them or Best Buy.
Anyone else eager to get this phone? I'm ready to pay full price at T-Mobile if they ship it out a couple days early.Show Press Release

respects the privacy of every individual who visits our website. To better
protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our online information
practices and the way information is collected and used.
Wildtree, Inc. (referred
to herein as "Wildtree", "our", "us" or "we") is the sole owner of the
information collected on our websites and on the replicated Wildtree websites
that we provide for use by Independent Representatives (hereafter the
"websites"). We collect information from Independent Representatives
("Representatives"), customers and visitors to the websites at different points
on the websites.
Identifiable Information
Through your use of
or visits to our websites, you may voluntarily provide or be required or
requested to provide personally identifiable information to us. Personally
identifiable information is any piece of information which can potentially be
used to uniquely identify, contact, or locate a single person including names,
addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers, social security and tax
identification numbers, and credit card and bank information.
Identifiable or Aggregate Information
To help us tailor the
websites to the needs and interests of our visitors, we may collect various
types of information from you that do not identify you personally such as the
products you purchase, the services you use, the frequency of such purchase and
uses, the type of browser you are using (e.g., Firefox, Internet Explorer), the
type of operating system you are using (e.g., Windows XP or Mac OS X), the
domain name of your Internet service provider (e.g., Comcast, EarthLink), the
length of time you spend on the websites, which pages you visited within the
websites, which site you visited before coming to ours, and which site you
accessed when you left the websites (collectively, "non-personally
identifiable information").
or Service Purchases
When a customer
purchases products or services from us through any of our websites, the
purchaser must provide us with mailing and contact information as well as
payment information. This information is used for billing and payment purposes
and to fill orders.
We may use the
personally identifiable information (a) to protect and defend our rights or
properties, (b) to protect your personal safety and the general safety of our
users and the public in general (whether in emergency situations or otherwise),
(c) to provide to third parties to maintain and/or operate the websites, (d) to
give to our business partners and third party vendors that provide services or
products selected by you, (e) to fulfill your requests and product or
service orders, (f) to provide you with information on products, specials,
newsletters, and other services we provide, (g) for marketing research, (h) to
enforce the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy, (i) if you are a
Representative with the Company, to enforce the terms of your Representative
Agreement and the Policies and Procedures and in connection with our business
relationship as set forth in such documents and (j) as otherwise permitted by
identifiable information that is collected from Representatives and customers
through Customer Registration, product or services purchases and/or surveys is
used as described above. WILDTREE DOES NOT share personally identifiable
information except as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
Non-Personally Identifiable
or Aggregate Information
We aggregate the
non-personally identifiable information with information collected from other
visitors of the websites ("users"), including Representatives and customers,
to track overall visitor traffic patterns. This aggregated information
allows us to develop statistics that are helpful to understand our users.
We use this aggregated information to monitor, maintain, and improve the
functionality and content of the websites, making it more responsive to the
needs of our users. We may also use the non-personally identifiable
information for the enhancement, operation, management or maintenance of the
websites, in connection with developing and operating new websites and for
historical, statistical, scientific, or other purposes. We reserve the right to
use, sell, and assign for any and all purposes all non-personally identifiable
information; and you authorize us to use, sell and assign, for any and all
purposes, all non-personally identifiable information. Wildtree may share
aggregated information from time to time with its partners, vendors or other
third parties. When such aggregate information is shared by Wildtree, no
personally identifiable information is shared.
Profile Information
Wildtree stores
information that it collects through cookies, log files, clear gifs, and/or
third parties to create a profile of users. A profile is stored information
that Wildtree keeps on individual users that details their viewing preferences.
Profile information is tied to the user's personally identifiable information
to provide offers and improve the content of the site for the user. Except as
expressly stated herein, Wildtree may share profile information with third
parties in aggregate form only.
A cookie is a piece
of data stored on a user's computer tied to information about the user. Use of
a cookie may be linked to any personally identifiable information while on the
websites. Wildtree collects personally identifiable information from you only
when you voluntarily provide it to us. Wildtree uses both session ID cookies
and persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once users close the
browser, the cookie simply terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file
stored on the user's hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent
cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions.
By setting a cookie
on a user's computer, users do not have to log in a password more than once,
thereby saving time while at the websites. If a user rejects the cookie, the
user will still be able to use the site. The only drawback to this is that the
user may need to enter his or her password every time he or she accesses the
Like most standard
website servers Wildtree's websites use log files. These include Internet
protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP),
referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to
analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate,
and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc.
are not linked to personally identifiable information. We may at a future time
use a tracking utility that uses log files to analyze user movement.
Gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs)
Wildtree employs a
software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), that help Wildtree
to better manage content on the websites by informing it about what content is
effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in
function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of users. The
main difference between the two is that clear gifs are invisible on the page
and are much smaller, about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
Clear gifs are not tied to users' personally identifiable information.
In addition, Wildtree
uses clear gifs in its HTML-based emails to let it know which emails have been
opened by the recipients. This allows Wildtree to gauge the effectiveness of
certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
Offers and Updates
Wildtree sends all
new customers a welcoming email to verify password, username, and acceptance
Customer Agreement. Customers may occasionally receive information on products,
services, special deals, and a newsletter.
Service Announcements
On rare occasions it
is necessary to send out a strictly service related announcement. For instance,
if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance we might send customers
an email.
Wildtree communicates
with customers with respect to products or services purchased by such customers
from Wildtree. Such communications may be by email, regular mail or telephone.
Though Wildtree makes
every effort to preserve user privacy, Wildtree may need to disclose personal
information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such
action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order
or legal process served on Wildtree. We also may disclose such information in
response to a law enforcement agency's request or where we believe it is
necessary to investigate, prevent or take action regarding suspected illegal
activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical
safety of any person, violations of our Privacy Policy or as otherwise required
by law.
Wildtree may share
non-personally identifiable/aggregated information with our partners, vendors, or
service providers. This is not linked to any personally identifiable
information. Except as expressly stated herein, WILDTREE DOES NOT share
personally identifiable information about users with any third parties other
than as necessary to process orders and applications.
Party Fulfillment
Wildtree uses a
credit card processing company to bill customers for goods and services. This
company retains credit card information and personally identifiable information
so they can fulfill future orders, but does not retain, share, store or use
personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Service Providers
Wildtree partners
with other third parties to provide specific services. When necessary to
provide services or products to customers, we share names and/or other contact
information with service providers and vendors. Such third parties are not
allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of
providing these services.
Business Transitions
In the event Wildtree
goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another
company, or selling a portion of its assets, the personally
identifiable information of Representatives and customers will, in most
instances, be part of the assets transferred. If, as a result of the business
transition, a Representative or customer's personally identifiable information
will be used in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection,
the Representative or customer will be given a choice consistent with our
notification of changes section.
Users are always
notified when their information is being collected by any outside parties. We
do this so users can make an informed choice as to whether or not they should
proceed with services that require an outside party.
Wildtree's websites
may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that Wildtree is not
responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites and they may have
different privacy policies than ours. We encourage users to be aware when they
leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website
that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement
applies solely to information collected by Wildtree websites.
Wildtree takes every
precaution to protect all users' information. When users submit sensitive
information via Wildtree's websites, their information is protected both online
and off-line.
When Customer
Registration and/or online order forms ask users to enter sensitive information
(such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected
with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure
page, such as an online order form, the lock icon on the bottom of web browsers
such as Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as
opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are just 'surfing'.
While Wildtree uses
SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, Wildtree also does
everything in our power to protect user information off-line. All user
information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted
in Wildtree's offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a
specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. ALL
employees are kept up-to-date on Company security and privacy practices.
Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are in a
secure environment.
However, we cannot
guarantee that any electronic commerce is totally secure. For example, we
have no control over the information collected by your Internet service
provider or your employer (if the websites are made available to you through
your employer or if you send us personally identifiable information through
your employer-provided email account), or information that you disclose in a
public forum. Any such third party that collects your personally
identifiable information may use the information in accordance with its terms
and conditions of use (and related privacy policies), which may be different
from this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for any information
collected by such third parties and/or how such information is used or
maintained. Neither we nor any third party have the authority to make any
representations or commitments on behalf of the other.
Representatives must
comply with all applicable privacy and data security laws, including security
breach notification laws when operating their business. Representatives must
take appropriate steps to safeguard and protect all private information of
customers, including, without limitation, credit card and social security
numbers, provided by a retail customer, prospective retail customer
or other Representatives. Representatives must hold such information in strict
confidence. Representatives are responsible for the secure handling and
storage of all documents that may contain such private information.
Representatives must adopt, implement, and maintain appropriate administrative,
technical, and physical safeguards to protect against anticipated threats or
hazards to the security of confidential information and customer data.

Wildtree reserves the
right to amend or change this Privacy Policy at any time at its sole
discretion. It is your responsibility to periodically access this Privacy
Policy by clicking on the Privacy Policy link on Wildtree web pages.

This section provides general information on how to keep your newborn baby safe. If you have questions about something, be sure to ask your doctor for more information. Friends and relatives who have raised a child are also a valuable resource.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is a good resource for recalls and repairs. Call 1-800-424-2772. You can also find updated product recall information at www.cpsc.gov.
According to Pennsylvania law, all car passengers must wear their seat belts. When used correctly, infant car seats save lives. All children below the age of 8 must use appropriate car seats.
For more information about car seat safety, call 1-800-227-2358 (1-800-CARBELT) or visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website at www.nhtsa.dot.gov.
Babies should be placed on their backs in a safe crib to sleep at night and for naps. Parents have been following this advice for the last several years. People used to think that babies sleeping on their backs would be more likely to choke or vomit. This is not true. Because of "Back to Sleep," the number of babies who die from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) has been greatly reduced.
As long as you are watching your baby, you may place your baby on his or her tummy while he or she is awake.
If all your attempts to calm the baby fail, and you are very frustrated, place the baby safely in the crib, close the door and go to another room. It may help to call a family member or friend. You can also call the Family Resource Warmline for support and advice: 1-877-WARMLYN (1-877-927-6596).
If your baby is shaken, whether by accident or on purpose, get your baby to an emergency room immediately.

text: The ISPC panel is accessed by using port 8080 and you can add a SSL cert for this to make it secure. So therefore it's supposed to work by going to (for example) https://server1.example.com:8080/ This is well and good but the ispconfig.vhost file for apache lists: Listen 8080 NameVirtualHost *:8080 <VirtualHost _default_:8080> ..etc..etc.. What this means is if one adds a few clients and sites and lets say a clients site is www.somedomain.com then they can access the ISPC panel via https://www.somedomain.com:8080/ BUT because the SSL cert doesn't match it will throw up a warning. Now I know you are going to say - tell your clients to login at https://server1.example.com:8080/ not by using their own domain... My dumb question is:- Why is it this way? Wouldn't it be correct to specify the host or IP in ispconfig.vhost rather then having it at *:8080?

Despite being one of the most popular open source databases, Firebird may be somewhat unfamiliar to the regular OSNews readership. Just in case you did not know already, let me introduce Firebird to you: Firebird is an open source database with roots in Borland's Interbase, which itself has roots going back 20 years.
Because of the bundling with Delphi and Kylix, Firebird is very popular with the approximately 1 million Delphi developers around the world. In the last decade tens of thousands C/S applications have been created and the Firebird installed base is estimated at just under 2 million deployments (and about 3 million if you include legacy Interbase installations). Although the bulk of the deployments is for mid-market use, a significant share is for "enterprise level" usage. Firebird is at the core of about one-third of financial applications in the former Soviet Union and SAS, the world's largest privately held software firm, has chosen Firebird to drive its high-end business analytics systems.
The Firebird core track of the conference will focus on new developments, development process and roadmap, and give a view of the database internals. Dmitry Yemanov, the release manager for Firebird 1.5 and Firebird 2.0, will talk about the current and future releases, and give an overview of how Firebird works "under the hood". Jim Starkey, the original author of Firebird, will talk about the Vulcan project, a wholesale rewrite and clean-up of the code base, optimised for modern SMP hardware. Paul Ruizendaal, main driver of the Fyracle project, will talk about Firebird's oracle compatibility mode and Arno Brinkman will explain how the optimiser works, a topic that always draws large crowds at Firebird conferences. Others will speak about the Firebird Q&A process, about performance testing and new security features.
The languages track covers the various solution stacks that are commonly used with Firebird: Delphi, Java, .Net and PHP. Many sessions cover developing with Delphi, or more correctly with Object Pascal: the original Delphi tool has been joined with a Linux version by Borland, Kylix, and by a cross-platform open source edition, FreePascal/Lazarus. Delphi based talks include Jason Warton on his famous IBObjects class library, Fikret Hasovic, editor of the Firebird News, on n-tier programming and Kim Madsen on the kbmMW application server. Java is also well covered with Roman Rokyttskyy, project lead for the Firebird JCA/JDBC driver, talking about the new 2.0 release and Eugeny Putilin talking about stored procedures and trigger bodies written in Java. Programming in PHP will be covered from various angles, including Lester Caine's ever popular how-to talks.
General development issues are covered in the tools, tips and tricks track. Milan Babushkov will speak about FlameRobin, the emerging project admin tool (Firebird has always been surrounded by a rich cottage industry of tool vendors, so for along time there was not a tool by the Firebird project itself). There are talks about development libraries, such as InstantObjects, FireQ and FIBPlus, and about application optimization. Carlos Cantu, author of the leading Firebird book in Brazil, will talk about advanced Firebird programming with PSQL, stored procedures and events. Other topics that are covered in this track are migration, conversion, internationalization, audit trails and, last but not least, replication.
This year's applications track will prove to be very interesting. Bill Oliver and Tom Cole will speak about SAS and their choice for Firebird inside of their enterprise level business analytics software. Jeanot Bijpost, winner of the 2004 RAD Race, will speak about model driven development and the innovative Cathedron application builder. ERP applications will be covered from several angles: the Cathedron system has been used to build a large, distributed ERP system, the oracle-mode talk will cover running Compiere on top of Firebird, and Claus Heeg will speak about building web ERP systems using Firebird and ColdFusion. An entirely different application class is covered in Vince Duggan's talk about using Firebird to implement a fingerprint recognition system
The best of any conference is always the people. This edition of the Firebird conference will have participants from all five continents, both speakers and visitors. Many of the project's core developers and personalities will attend, so the conference will be a hub for exchanging views and experiences. For every Firebird user, it is an ideal opportunity to give feedback to the developers and to potentially influence the Firebird roadmap.
Looking forward to meeting you in Prague this November!

ANKARA (Reuters) - Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel will try to rekindle military cooperation between Turkey and its former close ally Israel in his first visit to the two countries since taking office, a Turkish official said on Wednesday.
Hagel, whose visit to Turkey will take place close to his Israel trip set for April 21-23, will also discuss regional issues, the official said. Turkey has borders with war-ravaged Syria, as well as with Iran and Iraq.
The U.S. Embassy in Ankara said it would not comment on any potential visits.
Relations between Israel and Turkey, once the Jewish state's closest Muslim ally, fell apart in 2010 after Israeli marines killed nine Turkish activists aboard an aid ship trying to break Israel's naval blockade of the Palestinian-run Gaza Strip.
But in a rapprochement brokered by U.S. President Barack Obama last month, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu apologized for the killings to his Turkish counterpart Tayyip Erdogan and pledged compensation to the bereaved or injured.
During his visit, the official said, Hagel would try to encourage both countries to restart military cooperation, which used to include maneuvers and defense contracts.
Apart from relations with Israel, the civil war in Syria is likely to feature prominently in discussions.
The United States has provided two of six NATO Patriot missile defense systems in Turkey, a NATO member, to help protect it from any missile attack from Syria.
Turkey has received hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees and has thrown its weight behind rebels trying to oust President Bashar al-Assad.
Hagel's visit will follow a trip by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who was in Turkey over the weekend for his second visit there in just over a month. During that visit Kerry also urged Turkey to fully normalize ties with Israel.
Kerry and Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said a core group of the Friends of Syria should convene soon.
On Wednesday, the Turkish official said that meeting could take place in Turkey, although he did not give a date.

July 19, 1979
To: All Employees
Freom: President Gail Fullerton
Subject: Possible Strike or Other Job Disruptions
The Governor has taken action to reduce the amount of money available for pay raises for 1979-80 to 9.3%. At its meeting of July 18, 1979, the Board of Trustees of The California State University and Colleges determined that the 9 .3% available for pay raises should be distributed across the board. That is, each employee within the CSUC received a 9.3% pay raise effective July 1, 1979. This is in addition to a one time payment equivalent to 7% of each employee's pay from October 1, 1978 through June 30, 1979, which was granted by legislative action. That lump sum payment, barring any adverse rulings by any courts, should be distributed to employees on or about September 14, 1979.
These pay raises are substantially less than those requested by the Board of Trustees. The administration shares the disappointment of all employees that the pay raise ap?proved by the Governor was less than that which was requested.
It has been noted, however, that representatives of at least one employee organization had indicated that a strike or some other form of job disruption might be called because of dissatisfaction connected with the pay issue. This necessitates my reminding you that:
- Absence from work because of a strike constitutes an unauthorized absence which will result in loss of pay for the time not worked and possibly in disciplinary action.
- Because of the implied threat of a strike or job disruption, absence because of illness must be documented by a certificate from a physician.
- You are reminded that an unauthorized absence of five consecutive days constitutes an automatic resignation from an employee's position on this campus.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please address them to your immediate supervisor, or my office, extension 7-3454.

Executive Director of Communications
Statements from Florida Board of Governors Regarding Formation of 'Blue Ribbon Task Force' Today by Governor
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—May 4, 2012
Dean Colson of Miami, Chair of the Florida Board of Governors:
"Additional support for Florida's public universities is always welcomed, especially if it accelerates the achievement of the Board's goals and metrics for our university system. During the past two years, the Board of Governors has laid out a comprehensive vision through three significant work products: a new 2025 Strategic Plan1, transformed metrics in the Annual Accountability Report2, and a three-year work plan template3 that each university will present annually. We look forward to a meaningful dialogue that bolsters a shared vision for the State University System."
- Released in November 2011 and posted at www.flbog.edu.
- Released in January 2012 and posted at www.flbog.edu.
- A new template focused on more metrics and ROI issues was finalized in April by the Strategic Planning Committee as a follow-up to the finalized Strategic Plan. Universities' individual presentations utilizing this new comprehensive and consistent template, focusing on their unique differentiated missions, will occur at the annual presentations each June. For more info, see Actions Taken from April 5 for this committee: http://www.flbog.edu/pressroom/news.php?id=444
State University System Chancellor Frank T. Brogan:
"The future of public higher education in Florida has been traveling toward a new frontier of accountability, and the Board of Governors already has produced a three-part framework that will create the most accountable public university system in America. In particular, the Board's Strategic Plan and Annual Accountability Report provide more than 60 System-wide comparative data points at-a-glance. I am confident that these products taken together can provide the strongest possible foundation for this group's discussion."
About the State University System of Florida
The State University System of Florida is governed by a 17-member Board of Governors, a constitutional body and led by appointed public servants. The System is comprised of 11 institutions with a total enrollment of nearly 330,000 students, making it the second-largest public university system in the nation in terms of enrollment (some states have more than one university system). The Florida Constitution (Article IX, Section 7) was amended by the state's voters in 2002 to establish a statewide system of governance for all Florida public universities. As a result, the Florida Board of Governors was created in 2003 to oversee the State University System of Florida. Responsibilities include defining the distinctive mission of each institution and ensuring the well-planned coordination and operation of the System. The Board's 17 members include 14 appointed by the Governor, with three serving by virtue of their designations (a faculty member, a Florida Student Association student representative, and the Florida Commissioner of Education). The Board of Governors appoints a Chancellor who serves as the chief executive and administrative officer of the State University System. For more, including the Board's Annual Report that reflects accountability measurements and benchmarks occurring at each institution, see www.flbog.edu.
