Are full-body airport scanners safe?
The radiation exposure is extremely small, and the cancer risk has been called "truly trivial."
Safe is a tricky, eye-of-the-beholder word and concept. If safe means absolutely zero risk, then the answer to the "Are they safe?" question for scanners that use low-level x-rays is probably no. But if safe means a very small increase in risk — so small that a reasonable person shouldn't be seriously concerned about it — then the answer seems to be yes, they are safe, according to a persuasive article published in 2011 in Archives of Internal Medicine.

The Strengthening Families Program (SFP) is a nationally and internationally recognized parenting and
family strengthening program for high-risk and general population families. SFP is an evidence-based
family skills training program found to significantly improve parenting skills and family relationships,
reduce problem behaviors, delinquency and alcohol and drug abuse in children and to improve social
competencies and school performance. Child maltreatment also decreases as parents strengthen
bonds with their children and learn more effective parenting skills.
The original 14-session evidence-based SFP for high-risk families with children ages 6 to 11 years
(SFP6-11) was developed and tested in the mid 1980s by Dr. Karol L. Kumpfer on a NIDA research
grant with children of substance-abusing parents. Subsequent randomized control trials (RCTs) have
found similar positive results with families in many different ethnic groups. Both culturally adapted
versions and the core version of SFP have been found effective with African-American, Hispanic, Asian,
Pacific Islander, and First Nations families. SFP is in 36 countries.
In the early 1990's, Drs. Kumpfer and Molgaard, Co-PIs on an Iowa State University grant, developed
a shorter 7-session version for low-risk families with pre- and early teens (SFP10-14). In the 2000s
new 14-session versions for high-risk families with both younger children (SFP3-5) and early teens
(SFP12-16) were developed by Drs. Kumpfer and Whiteside and replicated in multiple agencies in the
USA and Europe with better results than the research RCT studies (Kumpfer, Greene, Whiteside &
Allen, 2010, Kumpfer, Xie, & O'Driscoll, 2012; Magalhăes, C. & Kumpfer, K. L, 2015).
In order to make SFP skills available to every family, in 2011 a new low-cost SFP Home-Use DVD for ages 7-17 was developed by Dr. Karol Kumpfer and Jaynie Brown. Sold for $5 each through the Strengthening Families Foundation, the DVD is for parents and children to watch together at home. It has ten 30-minute SFP lessons, plus an Intro segment that discusses how the teen brain develops. Handouts can be printed off the DVD. It can also be used in a clinic or agency setting with a trained Discussion Leader or Family Coach. It has also been used as part of the Middle School Health Class curriculum with parent-child Homework assignments, and helped lower 8th grade binge drinking 50% in one year. To order, click on the Home-Use DVD page, or on the DVD icon above right.
A new group class curriculum (SFP7-17) that corresponds with the SFP Home-Use DVD was also developed and has been pilot tested over 30 times with high risk families with excellent results that are equivalent to the prior tested SFP versions (Kumpfer & Brown, 2011). The curriculum can be taught in 10, 12, or 14 sessions depending on family risk factors. This new universal version of SFP has lessons for Parents, Children, Teens, and a Family Practice session. It teaches the same research-proven skills as the original SFP, with added material on Mindfulness, the impact of alcohol and drugs on the developing teen brain and the parenting skills needed to prevent it. To order, click on the ORDER page.
NOTE: If you are interested in using the SFP 7-17 curriculum in your group classes, OR hosting a 12 week SFP DVD Family Discussion Group, and would be willing to do a Randomized Control Trial – with a wait-to-treat group for comparison-- we will provide a free training and all SFP materials plus an outcome evaluation for free for your agency. If an agency does not fulfill their commitment to an RTC, they will be billed the full cost of the training. Please email email@example.com if you are interested -- and provide us details of how you will do recruitment of families and also approximate dates for training.

Howdy folks!
It's a BIG day here in the Active Directory team.
As ScottGu announced in his blog post, we've just GA'd the Application Access Enhancements for Windows Azure Active Directory. This is a HUGE milestone for us on our path to delivering the world's richest cloud based identity management service.
In addition to these GA features, today we've also turned on the first preview of Windows Azure Active Directory Premium, a version of Azure AD designed to meet the identity needs of enterprises.
Application Access Enhancements is now GA
As I blogged about yesterday, we've been working hard to integrate with more and more SaaS applications. Since July we've completed integrations of Windows Azure AD with more than 500 applications and we are now adding 3-4 new applications a day. In addition, we've also completed our early customer previews and end-to-end testing and certification.
Now that we've reached this point, we're making application access generally available. Starting today, every organization in the world can manage access to their SaaS apps, all at no charge.
These enhancements include:
- SSO to the 500+ app we integrate with
- Application access assignment and removal
- User provisioning and de-provisioning
- Basic security reporting
- Our Application Access Panel
Windows Azure Active Directory Premium
As I mentioned above, today we're starting the public preview of Windows Azure Active Directory Premium.
Our goal with Windows Azure Active Directory Premium is to provide a robust set of capabilities tailored to meet the demanding identity and access management needs of enterprises. This is the first of several previews of Windows Azure AD Premium and includes:
- Self-service password reset for users: Whenever employees forget their password, Windows Azure AD gives them a self-service way to reset their password rather than having to call your helpdesk. (Note: Today we are previewing this for cloud only passwords. In an upcoming preview we'll add the option to use this to reset on-premises passwords as well.)
- Group-based provisioning and access management to SaaS apps: You can leverage existing groups that have been synced in from your on-premises Active Directory to assign users access in bulk to SaaS apps and to automate the ongoing assignment of users to apps.
- Customizable access panel: Organizations can now customize the app access panel for their employees with company logos and color schemes.
- Machine learning based security monitoring and reports: Azure AD premium using advance machine learning systems to monitor and protect access to your cloud applications and provides detailed security reports showing anomalies and inconsistent access patterns. You can view logins by users who logged in from unknown sources, logins that occurred after multiple failures and logins from multiple geographies in short timespans. Security reports will help you gain new insights to improve access security and respond to potential threats.
And this is only the first preview so this is not an exhaustive list of features — Windows Azure Active Directory Premium will continue to grow and evolve to embrace the hybrid world of devices and cloud services.
During this public preview we're starting, Windows Azure Active Directory Premium features are available at no charge. At the end of the preview the Premium offering will be converted to a paid service. And we'll let you know the final pricing at least 30 days prior to the end of the free public preview period. Of course the basic Windows Azure Active Directory will continue to remain free.
You can log on to and sign up for Windows Azure Active Directory and start using these features in preview at no charge. To evaluate this preview, navigate to Windows Azure Preview Feature page and add Windows Azure Active Directory Premium to your subscription by clicking "try it now", selecting the "Free Trial" subscription and confirming by clicking on the check on the bottom right.
Figure 4: Opting into the Azure AD Premium Preview
Then, in the Windows Azure Management Portal, select a directory where you want to use the Windows Azure Active Directory Premium features. (You can add the features to multiple directories if you wish).
Figure 5: Navigating in a specific directory
On the configure tab of the directory, move the slider for Premium features to enabled,
Figure 6: Enabling Azure AD Premium in a directory
This will cause new premium features, such as enabling a password reset policy for end users, to be enabled on that directory.
Figure 7: Password reset policy enabled.
There are a lot of new capabilities going into Windows Azure AD Premium. In upcoming posts we'll cover more details on self-service password reset, tenant branding, assigning users, the advanced reports and additional features – so stay tuned! In the meantime, let us know if you have any questions, and you can give us your feedback at the Windows Azure AD Forum.
Best regards,

The campus is in the midst of a tremendous growth spurt with new and remodeled facilities coming on-line on a regular basis. We are located approximately 50 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. UCR is also within easy driving distance of dozens of major cultural and recreational sites, as well as desert, mountain, and coastal destinations.
Rankings and Quick Facts
UC Riverside has received recognition in many national and international rankings, including:
- Time Magazine ranked UC Riverside #1 based on metrics of graduation rate, affordability, and the financial aid available to students.
- Washington Monthly (August 2015) ranked UC Riverside 2nd in the nation in its annual University and College Survey.
- U.S. News and World Report Survey (September 2016) ranked UC Riverside 121st overall; earns "Great Schools, Great Prices."

UC Riverside is an ever-changing organism — growing, evolving and adapting. Understanding our past helps us plan our way for the future. In 1907, the California State Legislature established the Citrus Experiment Station in Riverside to research agricultural issues facing Southern California. In 1948, the University of California Regents approved the establishment of the College of Letters and Science. The college opened for classes in February 1954. In 1959, Riverside was declared a general campus by the Regents and courses of study began to be developed. The University's Graduate Division was established in 1960. Since then, our growth has mirrored the growth of Southern California. Once a small university in a small town, we are now the premier research and educational institution in the thriving Inland Southern California region.

The Stiltz perches over the Swakop River mouth – more a tidal lagoon – and looks out over the Atlantic Ocean and the northern limits of the Great Sand Sea of the Namib Desert. Minutes' walk from Swakopmund, the small and eclectic lodge offers a tranquil and reviving experience in a convenient location.
The Stiltz is the most creative and interesting of the Swakopmund Hotels (in every aspect but its name!) As you can expect, the lodge is built on stilts but that's as far as your expectations will be met. In a town where buildings are mostly solid, neo-Gothic monstrosities, The Stiltz is as fresh as the Atlantic breeze that fills its sails. The entire lodge is built of wood and raised at least six feet above the swampy marsh of the Swakop River mouth.
Though it is a dry riverbed, the mouth is fed by the tide and is a feeding and breeding ground for many species of bird, including pelicans, plovers and terns. The lodge faces south and looks out to sea and the picturesque dunes across the river. Each room is a separate unit with quirky interiors, en suite bathrooms and private balconies. The rooms are linked by elevated walkways and the main lodge is multi-dimensional wood and glass construction and the scene of a hearty breakfast feast.
Facing south-west and on the southern edge of Swakopmund, The Stiltz is built just where the river course meets the Atlantic Ocean. In contrast to the almost barren desert, the Atlantic is rich in marine life and the salty sea air is a heady elixir. The view of the sand sea across the river mouth emphasises your seafront position. With all this fresh air and the serene views, you can watch the pelicans below your balcony gaze into the middle distance for hours on end until you realise you're doing exactly the same thing.

Police and Crime Commissioner Election - 5 May 2016
In November 2012, the first ever set of Police and Crime Commissioner elections were held across England and Wales.
On 5 May 2016, elections will be held again to elect representatives to the 41 police force areas. This is the Notice of Election (PDF 74.5KB) .
Election agents
The attached documents show the:
- appointment of election agents (PDF 17.5KB)
- appointment of election sub-agents (PDF 20KB)
What is a Police and Crime Commissioner?
Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) are elected representatives who oversee how crime is tackled in a police force area. Their aim is to cut crime and to ensure the police force is effective. Bedfordshire's Police and Crime Commissioner covers the area of Bedford Borough Council, Central Bedfordshire Council and Luton Borough Council.
What do PCCs do?
PCCs work with the police and other partners to cut crime, give the public a voice at the highest level, and hold forces to account and help restore trust. Your PCC will do this by:
- being directly accountable to the scrutiny of the public
- having the democratic mandate to respond to local people's concerns
- setting local force's policing priorities and force budget
- working with local partners to prevent crime
- holding their Chief Constable to account for the performance of the force
- appointing, and where necessary dismissing, the Chief Constable
PCCs are elected to make sure that local police meet the needs of the community.
Contact your local PCC about:
- how your area is policed
- the police budget
- the amount of Council Tax charged for the police
- the information you get about what the local police are doing
The Chief Executive for Luton Borough Council is the Police Area Returning Officer for this election.

Neither New York Gov. David A. Paterson nor a leading organization for the blind see the humor in a Saturday Night Live segment sending up the visually impaired politician.
"I can take a joke," Paterson tells the New York Daily News. "But only 37 percent of disabled people are working, and I'm afraid that that kind of third-grade humor adds to [misconceptions]."
As depicted by Fred Armisen on this weekend's show, Paterson needed help facing the right Weekend Update cameras, held charts upside-down and lobbied for exiting Sen. Hillary Clinton to be replaced with an upstate New Yorker, saying, "I'm tired of all these fancy two-eyed smart alecks from the big city running the show." Instead, he endorsed someone who has "something a little off about them. They don't have to be blind [but] with, like, a gamey arm."
The WU segment also referenced Paterson's confessed past drug use. "I'm a blind man who loves cocaine who was suddenly appointed governor [in the wake of the Eliot Spitzer scandal]," Armisen-as-Paterson said. "My life is an actual plot from a Richard Pryor movie." Later, he drifted on-camera during Amy Poehler's emotional farewell to the sketch show.
A spokesman for the National Federation for the Blind also scolded SNL for the skit, saying, "The biggest problem faced by blind people is not blindness itself, but the stereotypes held by the general public."
An NBC had no comment for TVGuide.com on this story.

Recipes >Pot Roast Recipe
Cooking Time: 3 hours, 10 minutes
Serves: 6
There are two great reasons to love pot
roast: 1) the ease of one-pot cooking and 2) fall off the bone tender meat! As you can see from
the 10 minute prep time on this recipe, once you've cut up the vegetables and browned the meat,
you're pretty much done - all that's left is the long, slow cooking which makes the meat crazy
tender. It's not so bad too that the only thing to clean up is one pot!
If you need a third reason to love pot roast, it's really easy to pair with wine. Since you
cook the meat right in wine, it has many of the flavors of red wine already. The extra
complexity from the browning and slow cooking also play off a wine nicely. We like a hearty,
fruitt-forward red with our pot roast. Our "Steal" is a value-oriented bottling from the
Languedoc, and our "Splurge" a fine and tasty selection from the Rhône.

Posted on 10/24/2013 10:09:34 PM PDT by Tailgunner Joe
click here to read article
Of course she should be fired. Actions or non actions have consequences and a nice public firing serves as an example to other Obamabot incompetents who may want to follow in her goosesteps
Congress has requested her appearance since August and she has refused. No way she snubbed them without it being Obamas decision, he is the one who needs to be fired, for this decision alone. So obamacare was in disarray then and they knew it, rather than answer questions they hid it and continued lying and using taxpayers money.
Rahm? Horrible, evil thought.
On pay-per-view. They could raise enough money to pay for the whole rewrite.
If she is not fired, then she will continue to be in charge of the implementation and operation of Obamacare, so that she can continue to do so incompetently.
Fire Sebelius. NOW.
Halleck then becoming chief of staff, a role that suited him since he was a great manager but had no talent for command.
When do they finally learn how to use impeachment again? I mean against subordinates.
The military isn't that different now as then. That was face-saving pure and simple. They were giving the guy a chance to preserve a bit of dignity. There was a time that Halleck was a big critic of Grant, and maybe secretly all along.
"...I doubt she would be singing that! LOL!..."
She'd be more likely to sing "The Internationale" or the former Soviet National Anthem...
Actually, "Deutschland Uber Alles" or "the Horst Wessel Song" is more appropriate to this crew...
Captain Smith should not have been fired before the Titanic went down. But obamacare has already gone down.
Funny thing is, the Captain of the Titanic almost sank himself shortly after launching. If only Kathleen had followed suit.

22 Customer statements Adalbert Neumann CEO ABB-ASJ When we started our HR personal development program in 1997 we had ambitious goals. The program based on four pillars (Customers, culture, communication and continuous learning). Before we started anything TMI did a powerful research to enable us to start the whole process in a very successful way. Today we can prove that we reached the set targets much faster than expected mainly due to TMI s professional way of coaching us through the process. A tremendous success! For both planning and implementing our TQM-process we fortunately picked a premier league training and consultancy agency TMI. Due to the competence, personal attitude and high engagement of all people within TMI Germany during the whole process we are in the leading position within ThyssenKrupp AG when it comes to TQM. Sieghard Schade Quality Manager Thyssen Krupp Steel 22
23 Customer statements Markus Troche Departement Manager Claims Departement / Network/ Motor Vehicle Assessor The feedback of our employees to the claims management training delivered by MACC was overwhelming. Not only that the training did motivate our employees, it also made them much more self-confident in tackling their tasks on the phone. The success is visible: The satisfaction of our employees is increased and we managed to boost the procurement rates to our automobile network partners by about 60% Deutsche Telekom established the Service Academy in order to implement service orientation at all levels of hierarchy and in all departments of the organisation on its way to service excellence. During the development of the concept, the design of the products, and the implementation of the academy, TMI was a valuable partner, who sets an example concerning service orientation, who can convince others both conceptionally and didactically and who achieves excellent results. Markus Lennartz Head of staff Corporate Office René Obermann Deutsche Telekom AG 23
24 Customer statements Ulrich Breimann HR Director Germany EMC 2 Deutschland GmbH TMI is an important business partner for EMC who is supporting our personnel development both in field of executives and non-executives. At this we cashed in on traditional TMI know-how such as Time Management. Besides, TMI managed successfully to tailor trainings and workshops to the specific needs of EMC 2 in different projects. For us it has been an important cornerstone to establish our company s principles with the help of TMI. These principles now form the basis of EMC s HR development. TMI optimally helped us to approach our core topic of complaint handling and implement it with a lasting effect. TMI provided us benchmarks by an international TMI survey which enabled us to define our own position. Subsequently, TMI developed a training concept in close collaboration with us which appealingly trains our employees to deal with the emotionally difficult topic of complaints frankly and cordially. At the same time we had the opportunity to relay the newly developed in house tools and strategies to sensitised participants. Winfried Clarenbach Quality Manager Sparkasse KölnBonn 24

Bench leads Johnson-less Nets past Suns

The Sports Xchange
Bench leads Johnson-less Nets past Suns
PHOENIX -- With Joe Johnson missing and the team playing on a second consecutive night, the Brooklyn Nets knew they would need help from their bench to avoid a second straight loss.
Kris Humphries, playing for only the second time since March 2, contributed 17 points and eight rebounds in 28 minutes, C.J. Watson had 12 of his 14 in the fourth quarter, and the Nets regrouped to outlast the Phoenix Suns 102-100 Sunday night.
Brooklyn blew a 16-point, third-quarter lead before bouncing back for the win.
Brook Lopez led the Nets with 21 points, and Deron Williams had seven of his 20 down the stretch, including a 3-pointer with 5:53 left to give Brooklyn the lead for good at 90-87.
"We got a lot of points off the bench tonight (45), and that's just how it has to be sometimes to get wins," said Humphries, whose point total was a season high. "I was a little stiff, and it took me awhile to get loose, but my teammates found me with passes, and I hit some free throws to start and roll with it."
Goran Dragic came within a rebound of his second career triple-double and first as a Sun, finishing with 31 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds. Wesley Johnson added 21 points -- 17 of them in the third quarter, when he singlehandedly shot the Suns back in the game with five 3-pointers.
The Suns (23-48) had 25 offensive rebounds, and the last one gave them a chance to send the game to overtime. With Phoenix down 102-100, Dragic missed the second of two free throws on purpose, and Hamed Haddadi grabbed the rebound. However, Haddadi rushed his put-back attempt and missed, allowing the Nets (41-29) to escape with their seventh win in the past 10 games.
"Of course we are disappointed we lost, but if we can have that type of effort every single night, we will take it," Phoenix coach Lindsey Hunter said. "Goran and P.J. Tucker (14 points, eight rebounds) were unbelievable. Every single minute."
Joe Johnson was out due to a right quad contusion he suffered in a collision with Clippers forward Blake Griffin during Brooklyn's 101-95 loss in Los Angeles on Saturday. He also has been playing through a left heel injury that has plagued him for a few weeks.
"Everyone gave us good minutes -- C.J., Hump, all the way down the line. They really saved us," Lopez said. "Considering the way we lost last night, at the end of the game and in crunch time, it was good that we won the way we did tonight."
After the teams played to a 25-25 draw after one period, the Brooklyn bench took over in the second. Andray Blatche had eight points during a 15-6 Brooklyn run to open the period, and the Nets led 55-43 at the half.
The lead reached 59-43 two minutes into the third quarter before Wesley Johnson caught fire and got the Suns back in it. Johnson hit four of his five 3-pointers over the final 2:12 of the quarter, and his 25-footer with the shot clock winding down gave the Suns a 76-75 lead with 8.3 seconds left.
"It felt really good to just go out here and really get my confidence and assert myself," Johnson said. "They kept saying just get the ball, shoot it, look to score and be aggressive. I wasn't thinking. I was just out there playing and shooting, and Goran was finding me."
However, Johnson cooled off in the fourth quarter, missing six of seven shots, and the Suns missed 16 of 25 shots as a team.
NOTES: With Joe Johnson's numbers dipping noticeably since the All-Star Break, Carlesimo said it was important for him to take some time off. "Every time I ask Joe how he feels, he says, 'It's OK.' He wants to play, which is good. He doesn't want to use it as an excuse. If you look at the numbers ... it's not the same Joe. We need to get Joe Johnson back, healthy." ... Phoenix continues to play the better teams tough. The Suns are 4-4 in their past eight games against teams with winning records. They are 1-5 against sub-.500 teams over the same span. ... Dragic set a career high with five straight games of 10 or more assists. ... Sunday marked the 23rd anniversary of Tom Chambers' franchise-record, 60-point game against the Seattle SuperSonics in 1990. Chambers managed the feat without making a single 3-point shot, something that has only been repeated once in the past 23 years (by the Los Angeles Lakers' Shaquille O'Neal against the Clippers in 2000).

Is fashion an art form?
It's a good question. And remember, the question is 'Is fashion an art form?' Not 'Is fashion good art?'. Which means that examples of particularly awful fashion…
… are not arguments against fashions status as an art. Because as we all know, having no sense of aesthetic beauty or cultural interest is no barrier to being art…
…oh no. If anything it often seems like a requisite. So is fashion art? Well, yes. Clearly. Kind off, in a way. Art is just creative expression intended to be appreciated as expression. This is how I interpret and define it and I'm sure that is misguided in many ways and that there are many things which fall outside of that definition. Some things defy definition, they are left to the instinct of the observer to define and it comes down not to any perfect formulas or truths, but too arguments and ideas, intellect and experience. Sometimes, with such things, you just know it when you see it.
"It is possible to read the Court's opinion in Roth v. United States and Alberts v. California, 354 U.S. 476, in a variety of ways. In saying this, I imply no criticism of the Court, which in those cases was faced with the task of trying to define what may be indefinable. I have reached the conclusion, which I think is confirmed at least by negative implication in the Court's decisions since Roth and Alberts, that under the First and Fourteenth Amendments criminal laws in this area are constitutionally limited to hard-core pornography. I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that."
Justice Potter Stewart
Sometimes I just know it when I see it. And I see it in things like this:
[Sienna by Siobhan Molloy]
What is especially fascinating in fashion as an art form to be studied is that it is an art form that everyone participates in, in an era where art is more and more trapped behind gallery doors and owned and produced by a self sustaining sycophantic elite.

On our way to see Las Grietas on Santa Cruz Island in The Galapagos we walked by an unusual looking lake. It had a lot of algae floating in it, which looked kind of like large blobs of broccoli soup. When we asked Bolivar (our Tour Leader) about it he told us that it was a salt lake.
I had never seen a salt lake before so I found it very interesting.
How To Use a Salt Lake
He explained that the salt from the lake is not used in a commercial way, but that during the dry season the locals come and get salt to salt their fish and coconuts. I understood what he meant about salting fish, but the coconut part intrigued me so I asked him why people would want salt for coconuts. He told us it helps the coconuts have more milk.
Bryan, Drew and I lived in a subtropical climate here in Ecuador for around a year. I noticed that when grains of salt were left on the table, they had attracted the moisture out of the air by the end of the day and turned into little drops of water. I found that interesting and I thought that maybe salt was used on top of the coconuts to draw up the moisture out of the coconut or to draw water out of the air into the coconut. We weren't sure so I looked up some information on it.
Turns out I was wrong. From what I found out, I think the most likely use is as a fertilizer. When salt is used to fertilize coconut plants they produce more coconuts and the coconuts have a thicker meat.
Before we walked by this salt lake we had not heard about any salt lakes in the Galapagos. We were happy that we got to see this one and learn a little more about the life of the people who live on the Galapagos Islands.
