You're never to old for the hair you want
Why is it that younger women have long hair and 'older' women tend to go shorter? Is it fashion? Or it is pressure from what's expected? Or is it just what you 'do'?Details
You need to know that they will take into account your hair type, age, personality, lifestyle, skin type and colouring.
We don't just sit you in a chair and ask you what you want. We get to know you first, discover what beauty means for you, and guide you through a process that marries our 30 years of experience with what really matters to you.
Our "Be your Beauty" process has been developed to reveal the style and colour that will flatter your features and bring out your natural beauty.
Only then do we match you to the stylist who will be best for you, so you can be confident that you've been listened to and that you'll love what comes next.
It's a common story. Your new style looks great when you leave the salon, but as soon as you wash and style it yourself it looks flat, frizzy and dull.
In our free booklet we've laid out exactly how you should look after your hair once you've left the salon; including tips to make styling easier and your colour last longer.
We offer an array of services to suit every woman, whatever their story, whatever their background.
Have a wedding or special occasion coming up? We'll help you look and feel your best with our hair and make-up services.
The best tips and advice to maintain healthy hair, direct from our hair stylists at Anthony James salon.

Could there be a link between hair and Olympic excellence? Could our gold medal winners put at least some of their success down to their hairstyle?Details
The right colour for your hair works in tandem with your style and lifts and brightens your complexion. But, it's easy to get wrong because a shade that's just slightly out can make you look tired and wasDetails

Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
Place frying pan or flat top grill over medium-high setting.
Grab a medium size mixing bowl, and a whisk. Add 2 cups of cold water in mixing bowl and empty the contents of the batter mix in with water and mix together until batter is of pancake batter consistency.
Take the ground chuck and shape it into 4 (1/3-pound) patties. Then grill on flat top or pan fry to your desired internal temperature. When burger is cooked remove the patties from pan or grill and set aside.
Take hamburger buns and open them up and set them on the counter so that the insides are facing up. Place 1 piece of cheese on top of each side of all hamburger buns facing up. Spinkle diced onions on all bottom pieces. Then place 1 slice of tomato on the cheese on the top buns. Then put 4 slices of hamburger pickles on top of each tomato slice. Gently put the cooked hamburger patty on top of either of the buns and smash both the top and bottom buns together. The tighter the better!
Take the hamburger and insert into the mixing bowl with batter and surround burger with batter.
Place evenly coated burger bun with ingredients and burger patty into fryer. Remove burgers when outside coating of batter is a golden brown color. Serve with desired side item.

|Multibeam emission and spatial wavelength demultiplexing in semiconductor lasers by patterning their facets with plasmonic structures is reported. Specifically, a single-wavelength laser was made to emit beams in two directions by defining on its facet two metallic gratings with different periods. The output of a dual-color laser was spatially separated according to wavelength by using a single metallic grating. The designs can be integrated with a broad range of active or passive optical components for applications such as interferometry and demultiplexing.

A 63 year old male was hospitalized following a massive hemorrhage secondary to a motor vehicle accident and subsequent infection of a surgical site. Three weeks post-admittance his WBC demonstrated a marked elevation (40,000/mm3). Subsequent laboratory tests showed a very high leukocyte alkaline phosphatase score, whereas the PCR for the BCR/ABL fusion gene was negative.
What is your most likely diagnosis?
- Leukemoid reaction
Click here to see the whole slide image.
Click here for the comparative pathology.
Scroll below for answers.
Answer: 3, Leukemoid reaction.
A marked increase in total WBC and myeloid elements in the peripheral blood can be found in settings other than leukemia, including infections and post-hemorrhage. Testing for the presence of the Ph chromosome and BCR-ABL gene product help to rule out a diagnosis of CML, as would a more invasive bone marrow examination. Also to be noted on this leukemoid reaction smear is the relatively large number of more mature neutrophils than would be expected in leukemia, which tends to exhibit more immature forms.

Looking for advice : My dad & bro's new build
Hey guys. My dad and bro wants a new "beast" PC and well, they ask me to build 'em one. So, I went shopping on newegg.ca and essentially got that :
Pastebin.com - clicky clicky (this is v1)
Pastebin.com - This is version 2!
Just a couple of notes :
1. No overclocking.
2. Second hard drive for backup.
3. Hard drive space > speed. So no SSD. They want to install tons of (demanding) games.
What do you guys think? Any incompatibilities, better choices? Anything?
|My System Specs
|28 Apr 2011
ultimate 64 sp1
why not get an ssd and a hard drive?
install the os on the ssd, and big games and data files on hdd - works great for me!

Hey Mickey (pun not intended)
Thanks for the input. Unfortunately, I don't think they'd want that knowing them.
|My System Specs

The price differential on the 2600 versus 2500 is close to $100. I've seen gamers comment that for gaming purposes it isn't really worth it and a better way to spend that $100 is on a better video card or an SSD.
Looks like overkill on the PSU.
I"d look at the $30 Coolermaster Hyper 212 for cooling. Very highly rated and cheaper than most.
These are just suggestions. If you really have to satisfy your dad and brother, give them what they want.
|My System Specs
|28 Apr 2011
Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8
You are the expert. Just tell them an SSD is a must - just for the OS. You can still go with 2 HDDs in addition. A modern build without an SSD is a missed opportunity.
|My System Specs
|28 Apr 2011
After discussing with my bro, we changed...
Core i7 2600 -> Core i7 2500
Zalman CPU cooler -> Coolermaster Hyper 212
Replaced 1 640GB HDD -> OCZ Vertex 3 SATA III 120GB.
For the PSU, better having too much than to be too tight, and money isn't the problem here.
|My System Specs
|28 Apr 2011
The Sandy Bridge spec is for 1.5 volt RAM.
I think that Corsair is 1.65 volts.
You might get away with it, but why take a chance on something that critical??
Your call, but I'd find some Corsair or Crucial 1.5.
You can go to Crucial site and enter your motherboard in their configurator and it will spit back the exact Crucial model number you need.
I'm sure Corsair makes some good 1.5 volt stuff too.
Only other thing: I've yet to see a gamer say they needed more than 4 GB of RAM, but I can see getting 8 if this PC will be used for stuff other than gaming.
Other than that, looking fine.
|My System Specs
|28 Apr 2011
Thanks for the headup! Didn't notice that!
They are anal about the setup... I have barely got them to accept the fact that it'll be a core i5... So, I'll stay with 8GB of RAM. I'll just go for 1333MHZ instead of 1600.
UPDATED list
|My System Specs
|28 Apr 2011
Windows7 Pro 64bit SP-1; Windows XP Pro 32bit
Looks good to me.
WD Caviar Black I bought two at different times.
The 640MB and the 750MB at the time I ordered were on sale cheaper than the 500MB which was regular price both times I ordered.
So if you catch them on sale why not.
|My System Specs
|28 Apr 2011
Looks fine.
The only other thing I might consider:
getting 2 sticks of 4 gig each, rather than 4 sticks of 2 gig each.
Why? If you use 4 sticks, the cooler is probably going to overhang the closest 2 ram slots to some degree. If you have ram in those inside slots, they might make it more difficult for you to mount the heatsink. If you have just 2 sticks, you can put them in the outside 2 slots where they won't interfere when you mount the heatsink.
Your ram doesn't have heat spreaders, which means the cooler won't actually prevent you from using the inside slots, but having ram in the inside slots might aggravate you more when you mount the heatsink. You should still be able to do it, but you may swear more.
Also if you fill all 4 slots now, you could not go to 16 gigs as easily.
It's a small point. Do what you are comfortable with.
I've got the same processor as your build. The Arctic Silver instructions at Arcticsilver.com for that processor say to apply a thin line of paste directly down the center--don't spread it around by hand. Let the pressure from the heatsink spread it

Chicago — People are curtailing their driving--to the store, to see their grandkids or to go on a road trip--due to the high cost of gasoline. People often look for someone to blame, whether it's the gas station, oil company or elected officials. But we have known for generations that there is a limited supply of natural resources--oil and natural gas in particular--yet we have been building communities as if this were not true. To find an affordable home these days, families are moving as far out as the farmland areas surrounding Rockford, DeKalb, Kankakee and Valparaiso, Ind.
Yet the Chicago region has an historic blind spot for building new Metra and CTA lines and stations without working with local decision-makers to use those stations as magnets for jobs, housing and entertainment venues.

On Sunday night, a shooter opened fire on concertgoers 32 floors below a Mandalay Bay Resort hotel room in Las Vegas. Authorities say Stephen Paddock killed more than 50 and injuring hundreds.
Within hours, Internet trolls and pranksters began churning out hoaxes, misinformation and lame jokes aimed at misleading the public, promoting their own platforms and laughing in the wake of tragedy.
Many of them worked, garnering hundreds of reposts on social media from possibly duped users. It all highlighted a gullibility and lack of judgement too common online: Social media users are far too trusting of random accounts that filter into their feeds.
Take this tweet from user @bloomoreos claiming his father is missing in Vegas. It went viral with 600-plus retweets, but is a photo of adult film star Johnny Sins. The account later appeared to be suspended.
More fake info about the shooting at Mandalay Bay Casino in Las Vegas.
FYI: That's a porn star, not a missing person. pic.twitter.com/KUSeexq8mh— Caroline O. (@RVAwonk) October 2, 2017
"My son is missing in Mandalay Bay," tweeted user @redevicer. "Please RT I'm really worried." It came with a photo apparently depicting "Brandon W. Kingsom." More than 5,000 users reposted the tweet, prompting the user to advertise his Instagram account below it: "While y'all here follow me on Instagram! ... 💙🤓."
The Instagram account features a youth in skinny jeans posing moodily — no photos of "Brandon." Twitter appears to have suspended the account, but not before others noticed:
Its unfortunate that we still have people like this brother, how can someone be this idiotic. Best to remove the retweet pic.twitter.com/VRZqSXIP6o— Who Dat? (@NachtIstLeben) October 2, 2017
Other accounts circulated purported photos of the Las Vegas shooter that actually showed Sam Hyde, a comedian whose photos often resurface in hoaxes after shootings.

And sometimes misinformation comes from non-anonymous users, too. Here's Las Vegas-based commentator and "conservative warrior" Wayne Root, claiming in the early hours of Monday that the shooting was "clearly coordinated Muslim terror attack."
He later criticized "liberal fools criticizing me 4 reporting what I hear DIRECT from police & credible news sources." Authorities later discredited Root's account, claiming Paddock had no links to international terrorist groups.

About Christopher
With the cost of a transplant often exceeding $500,000, many transplant patients are unable to shoulder the financial burden of such a procedure. The Children's Organ Transplant Association (COTA) is a national charity dedicated to organizing and guiding communities in raising funds for transplant-needy patients. In San Francisco, volunteers are raising funds for transplant patients like local child Christopher Padua.
Born on June 1, 2006, Christopher was diagnosed with Biliary Atresia. The doctors at UCSF Medical Center in San Francisco, California performed a life-saving liver transplant on October 30, 2007. An estimated $100,000 is being raised by San Francisco volunteers.

Today, I want to talk to you about a new game which practices reading, spelling and pronunciation skills. I am indebted to Kelly Rowlingson who supplied me with the name of the game and the original idea. To learn more about Kelly and what she does, then please visit her web site here.
Here's what you need to play the game.
1. Base board
2. Playing (or Star) board
3. Stars
4. Task cards
5. Read!, Spell! and Say! cards
6. A dice
7. Some great students
Note: all the printing is A4 size.
Here is the base board.
You need to print it out and preferably laminate it. The base board is just a place to hold your Read! Spell! Say! cards and keep them tidy whilst playing.
Here is the playing board.
Print it out and laminate it, then take self-adhesive Velcro dots or strips and stick a dot (hook) in the centre of each square. One board for each student, though it is possible for students to share a board.
These are the stars.
If you want to use more than one colour, then just fill each star using MS Paint or some similar software program. Print out the stars, laminate them, cut them out individually and, if possible, round corners of the stars. Then take your Velcro dots (loops) and stick one on the back, in the centre, of each star. The Velcro dots need to be pressed down firmly, use some kind of tool to do this otherwise you will end up with a very sore thumb. The adhesive on the backs of the dots usually needs to cure for about 24 hours to reach full strength, so make your materials today and play tomorrow.
Next are the task cards.
Print them out, laminate them, cut them into individual cards and round corners. I usually give four of each (12 cards in all) to each pair of students or group of three.
The Read! Spell! and Say! cards.
I use the Read! and Spell! cards from Read! Spell! Do! This way it's easy for me to quickly select Read! (sentence) cards and Spell! (word) cards of a suitable level for each class of students. It's also possible to use Switchit cards in place of the Spell! cards. Here's a little more information on some of the Read! and Spell! cards:
Level 1 is for students who are able to use the 26 single letter sounds of the alphabet to successfully read and write words.
Level 1 Pack 1: 80 'spell' cards (single syllable).
Level 1 Pack 1: 80 'read' (sentence) cards.
Level 1 Pack 2: 80 more (all different) 'spell' cards (mostly multisyllable).
Level 1 Pack 2: 80 more (all different) 'read' cards.
Level 2-1 is for students who are able to use the 8 double letter sounds below.
Double Sounds: ee-ea-ch-sh-oo(spoon)-oo(foot)-ou-ar
Level 2 Pack 1: 80 'spell' cards.
Level 2 Pack 1: 80 'read' cards.
Level 2-2 is for students who are able to use the 8 double letter sounds below.
Double Sounds ow(cow)-or-oy-ir-oa-ow(window)-ai-ay
Level 2 Pack 2: 80 'spell' cards.
Level 2 Pack 2: 80 'read' cards.
Levels 3-1 and 3-2 are also available.
I use Switchit Junior for the Say! cards.
Sorry. You will have to supply your own dice and students.
How to play.
The game itself is very simple. Place the Read!, Spell! and Say! cards face down on the 'base board'. Shuffle the 'task cards' and put them in a pile. They will fit on the base board, but they are passed back and forth among the students. A child rolls a dice and then the other (another) child counts off the number by taking cards from the top of the 'pile' and placing them at the bottom. After the cards have been counted off, the top card is turned over and then the child is asked to read, spell or say one of the target cards. If the task is completed successfully, then the child takes a star and places it on the appropriate place on his or her playing board. If a 'read', 'spell' or 'say' row is already full, then no star is taken or given. The winner is the first person to fill his or her board with stars.
The dice adds randomness and so it's not always the most knowledgeable student that wins. Also, if there is a great disparity in the levels of the students, then you can have different levels of Read! Spell! Say! cards for each student. The game can be played cooperatively simply by giving each pair of students a single playing board and letting them use a single colour of stars. This way there is no physical record of who was most successful. I'm sure that you will find this a great resource, very versatile and able to be used by all ages, from preschool to adults.
Let me introduce you to a couple of other ways of using these materials.
Star Boards: for use with preschool and elementary school children
Preparation: Scatter a lot of of picture cards or picture/word cards, if the children are reading, on the floor, carpet or table. When using picture cards, then your pupils should be familiar with all of the pictures, if using picture/word cards, then use mostly familiar pictures, but throw in some unknown or relatively unknown cards so that the children have to use their word attack skills to decipher the word. Place a number of base boards around the room.
Play: Children pick up individual cards, bring them to you and identify the picture. You give them a star which they place on any base board and then they get another card. This is a great opportunity to check and help with individual pronunciation. You can also use Say! (Switchit Junior), Spell! or Read! cards for this activity. At the end of the activity see how many base boards they were able to fill and give some lavish praise.
Read! Spell! Ask!: can be used all the way from elementary school students to adults
Preparation: if you don't have Read! Spell! Do!, then you'll have to make your own Read! cards. You can take sentences from whichever textbook you are using. The Spell!, as I've said, can be Switchit cards or you can make your own or use 'student cards' if available. I have made my own Ask! cards. Some of my Ask! cards are for asking student to student and other cards for asking student to teacher. I find the student to teacher cards particularly useful for senior high school students, university students and adults as they tend to have a greater personal interest in their teacher.
Student to student questions and backs.
Student to teacher questions and backs.
If you want the files for Read! Spell! Say! and the all the Ask! question cards, then please e-mail me or make your request through the 'comments'. I will send you the files together with further information on Read! Spell! Do! and Switchit. To learn more about Switchit Junior, then please read my article.
I originally made this game so that I and other users of Read! Spell! Do! could get more and better use out of the game. I hope that it serves its purpose well.
Thanks for reading; hope you enjoy the activity.

I am always looking for new games to motivate and teach students as well as relieve the boredom of doing the same thing over and over which is what happens with the textbooks provided here in South Korea. I would appreciate the files for the game. Anything else you can send along would be equally welcomed!!! Thanx and of course I read your article and loved it
Hi Connie
This very much for your comment. I will send some materials to you soon. I hope that you and your students will never get bored with them.
I am always looking for ways to help my son. Love your article. Is it possible to get the game and anything else that could help. I am doing homeschooling with my son, because the schools wanted me to give him Ritalin (tried it for 3 months, he was like a zombie)
God Bless.
Can you email me the files for Read! Spell! Say! and the all the Ask! question cards? I love this idea very much.
Can you email me the files for Read! Spell! Say! and the all the Ask! question cards?
Thank you!!!

From Texas, USA:
My daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 one year ago. I read of problems with insulin shot locations, knots or indentations. Can those be avoided with a jet injector?
I personally am not an enthusiast for jet injectors. They are expensive and complex and to my mind really offer no advantages over Ultrafine needles.
Injecting round the edge of lipoatrophic areas seems to help and rotating injection sites over as wide an area as possible may avoid hypertrophy.

Ride 'em, cowboys
By Matthew Whittle
Published in News on October 4, 2011 1:46 PM
News-Argus/MICHAEL K. DAKOTA
Bull rider Brenden Maready, one of the 2010 top 5 riders in the National Bull Riding Association, holds on during his 8-second ride Monday night at the Wayne Regional Agricultural Fair as fellow rider Dusty Gaily helps out as a bull handler. Maready finished with a score of 86.5, tied for first heading into tonight's Wicked Bulls competition, which will begin at 7 p.m.
With the music pounding and the crowd cheering, 15 cowboys climbed aboard their bulls Monday night to test their skill and determination against the strength and ferocity of the beast beneath them -- and nine times, they failed.
But for the men risking their safety for those eight seconds of glory, that's just part of the job, and at 7 p.m. tonight, they will climb back on and try again.
With a full midway and plenty of eastern North Carolina agriculture-themed exhibits, the Wayne Regional Agricultural Fair might not be the first place somebody would expect to see a full western spectacle, but those involved with Wicked Bull LLC say they get one of their best receptions from the people of Wayne County.
"This is a great event. This is one of my favorite shows here in my home state. I'm glad to be home," rodeo entertainer Austin Stewart said. "We always have a great crowd here."
Making it even better, he said, is the fact that many of the riders -- and all of the bulls -- are from North and South Carolina and Virginia.
"You have the top 15 guys and the top 15 bulls in this part of the country," Stewart said.
And for many of the riders, having such a good event this close by is a welcome change, he said.
Most of them, he said, spend their year traveling across the United States, heading to wherever the next ride is being held.
Cody Funderburk of Pageland, S.C., explained that he got his start riding as a young boy when his father took him to a riding center in their hometown just to try it out.
"He just thought it'd be something fun," he said.
Now he's been traveling the country for the last seven years, riding wherever he can.
"We just got a call that there was a bullriding here and decided to come up," he said. "If we've got the money to get there, we'll go wherever there's a ride."
Himself a Charlotte native and fifth-generation rodeo man, Stewart, 20, said this trip to Goldsboro was the first time he had been back in North Carolina since May, this time coming down from Canada.
"In May, I stopped just long enough to pick up my summer clothes and drop off my winter clothes, and just now I dropped off my summer clothes and picked up my winter clothes. After this, I'll be on the road until the end of the year. I'll have two weeks off and then start it again," he said.
But if any of the riders were showing signs of being road weary, the hundreds of people gathered in the grandstands and around the arena couldn't tell it as the cowboys strapped in, nodded to the handlers manning the gate and then flung their arms in the air as the bulls jumped, bucked, ran and spun their way around the ring.
Judge Carlos Garcia, himself sidelined from riding with a broken arm after being stepped on by a bull, explained that once that gate opens, the two judges are looking for two things -- how difficult the bull is to ride and how well the rider maintains control.
Each judge scores the riders on a 50-point scale -- 25 for the rider and 25 for the bull -- for a total possible score of 100. Acknowledging that it is a subjective method, Garcia explained that they specifically are looking to see how much the bull jumps and bucks and spins, or whether it just runs around, as well as if the rider is able to remain centered on the bull's back or whether he's sliding around, and if he's able to use his spurs, demonstrating that he's "in complete control."
And for most of the riders Monday, those were difficult criteria to meet as the bulls, which seemed to be more ornery than last year's, tossed off rider after rider, some of them landing on their backs, some on their heads and one even dragged for a bit with his hand caught in his wrap.
In the end, though, two cowboys tied with the evening's highest score of 86.5 -- Brandon Chambers of Princeton and 2010 National Bull Riding Association Top 5 rider Brenden Maready of Chinquapin.
"It's a good event. It wasn't good for me, but it's a good event," said rider Travis Finley, 31, of Jacksonville.
There with his 9-year-old son Tanner -- who he said has started riding calves himself -- he's hoping for a better night tonight, with the fair's winner to be determined after tonight's scores are averaged with Monday's.
But while finishing in the money is crucial for the men in the ring, the people in the crowd didn't seem to have a favorite -- they just wanted to see a few good rides.
"They loved it. We come every year," said Rebekah Short, with her family in tow.

In July 1965, Reed, Cale and Morrison recorded a demo tape at their Ludlow Street loft, start from there, The Velvet Underground earned a regular paying gig and gained an early reputation as a promising ensemble.
The Velvet Underground are unquestionably one of the five most influential bands in history and the most overrated band in rock history (not counting Sex Pistols by the way). But they were good, and revolutionary, who can moved from "Heroin" to "Jesus" in two short-years. So yeah, I definitely want to enjoy my July with this Velvet Underground tee from Junk Food.

The American Muslim Advisory Council is a 501c3 tax exempt organization. Our mission is to foster mutual trust and respect among all people through civic engagement, community building and media relations in order to protect all Tennesseans from prejudice and targeted violence.
AMAC was formed in early 2012, in the aftermath of the harshest piece of anti-Muslim legislation to ever be introduced in any US State legislature. The so called "anti-Shariah" bill would have made acts of devotion, like the giving charity through a Tennessee mosque, or simply practicing basic religious observances like a Muslim observing the five daily prayers, potentially a felony offenses. The bill was ultimately gutted of its unconstitutional provisions and reduced to a symbolic piece of legislation. However, the introduction of such harsh, ill-informed and unamerican legislation served to galvanize Tennessee Muslims. The result was a statewide coordination effort that eventually became AMAC.
Since that time we have continued to work to ensure that all Tennesseans, of all faiths are treated equally in our civic institutions and before the law.
Our Vision:
We envision a Tennessee where all people, regardless of their faith or spiritual beliefs are accepted, respected and valued as members of our diverse society.
AMAC works toward this goal by championing the First Amendment of the US Constitution as well as Article 1, Sections 3 and 4 of the Tennessee Constitution's Declaration of Rights.

New Texas laws underscore the need for businesses to be extremely careful when handling and disposing of their customers' personal information. Simply exposing the information to the risk of identity theft carries some hefty penalties, irrespective of whether the information ended in the wrong hands.
Some of the most common ways in which businesses mishandle sensitive information is by failing to shred receipts and other documents with customers' personal data before throwing them into the trash. Several large companies which have improperly disposed of records with information such as credit card and Social Security numbers faced swift legal action by the Attorney General. Our investigators conduct routine spot-checks around the state as part of ongoing enforcement efforts. This office also investigates other types of neglect by businesses, such as improperly safeguarded databases or Web pages through which consumers submit personal information.
Penalties against businesses who violate Texas' identity theft provisions are substantial. For example, New provisions of Chapter 35 of the Business and Commerce Code require businesses to develop retention and disposal procedures for their clients' personal information. The law provides for fines of up to $500 for each record that could potentially land in the wrong hands. And the new Identity Theft Enforcement Act could mean fines of up to $50,000 for each similar violation – even for a single record. Additionally, businesses that give consumers specific reassurances about how their privacy will be protected could face penalties of up to $20,000 per violation if they fail to live up to those promises.
The reason for these strict new laws is clear: They help protect millions of Texans from becoming the next victims of identity theft. The laws also help safeguard the business community at large, which is facing mounting losses as a result of identity theft.
Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in the country. According to federal statistics, more than 20,000 Texas families file identity theft complaints each year – and that number simply reflects those who are aware they are victims. For many consumers, it takes months or even years to discover they have been victimized, and by that point the harm against them is substantial. Nationally, it is believed that identity theft drains at least $50 billion from our economy – most of it attributed to losses businesses must absorb when identity thieves run up huge lines of credit and make other purchases under the name of their victims.
For consumers, becoming the victim of identity theft is an emotional nightmare. They often face countless hours filing police reports and communicating with merchants, credit card companies and credit bureaus to clear up their name. They must often defer important plans, such as purchasing a home or new car, and will find it exceedingly difficult to obtain lines of credit for months or even years.
Businesses are hit hard, too. With just a few pieces of a consumers' personal information some criminals have been able to secure high-limit credit cards and even buy cars or homes under their victims' names. Not only does this hurt the bottom line of the business community at large, but could ruin a small business if it extends large lines of credit to even a single identity thief.
Businesses understandably want to know what they can do to help prevent identity theft. Since a business' size and the types of data it handles can vary widely, each business should carefully review its practices and put in place necessary measures that will prevent clients' personal information from ending up in the wrong hands.
The following are some of the types of client information most susceptible to being mishandled or improperly discarded by businesses:
This information commonly appears in the following paper documents and electronic files:
It's important to note that Texas law does not take the age of the documents or information in question into account. For example, even if a credit card slip improperly thrown into the trash shows the number of an expired card, the business could still be liable under the law. Some businesses sued by the Attorney General erroneously thought that by purging documents that were many years old there was no risk to consumers. But when those files were shown to reveal full Social Security numbers, which are assigned for the life, it is clear that even "old" files can create new harm. Likewise, expired credit cards are often reissued under the same number, but with a different expiration date that an identity thief can figure out quickly through trial and error.
Each business should develop a thorough list of all the types of information it handles, who handles it, where that information is maintained and how it is disposed of when it is no longer needed. There should be clear written protocols about how to properly handle that information and how to dispose of it, which could mean:
Shredding applicable paper documents Permanently deleting electronic files Properly destroying / wiping old computers and data storage devices
Businesses should be particularly careful when disposing of storage devices and old computers. Simply hitting the "delete" button seldom erases data from a disk or hard drive permanently – savvy identity thieves can easily retrieve that information. Businesses should rely on their internal computer experts or consult with an outside vendor to explain proper permanent deletion of electronic files. It might be necessary to ask the vendor to professionally "wipe" or remove and destroy a hard drive before getting rid of an old computer or server.
Similarly, businesses that obtain consumers' personal information through Web sites, such as accepting credit cards to purchase goods and services, should be especially careful that those pages are properly safeguarded. Because of the constantly changing nature of the Internet and the tactics used by hackers, it's a good idea for businesses to review and update security measures for their Web sites and internal systems on a regular basis.
Businesses should constantly remind their employees and new hires about proper handling of their customers' personal information. For example:
Restaurant waitstaff should be instructed to keep their eyes on customers' credit cards and related receipts at all times, and not let these linger on an unattended table or bar.
Employees working for businesses that send this type of data electronically to colleagues should be reminded to double-check recipient's address before clicking "send" on an email, to make sure they are not unintentionally sending sensitive information to the wrong people.
The threat of identity theft should be particularly impressed upon employees who travel with laptops, ensuring that the computers and disks are secure at all times, and any theft or other suspected breach should be immediately reported to management.
All businesses handling hard copies with any information that could be useful to an identity thief should keep those discarded documents in a safe place and shred them before throwing them into a publically accessible dumpster.
If in doubt, shred it. It's going into the trash anyway.
It is also a good idea to send periodic reminders to employees, such as through email, newsletters, and clearly displayed signs. For example, some businesses that faced legal action from the Attorney General for improper document disposal agreed to send protocol reminders to all employees by periodically including corresponding notes in their paychecks.
The scenarios through which consumers' information could end up in the wrong hands are clearly limitless, and the above are simply some examples and common-sense suggestions. Each business should develop procedures according to their size and type of information handled, and update those protocols the moment they realize new ways in which their customer's sensitive data could fall into the wrong hands. Employees should therefore be encouraged to immediately alert management whenever they come across a situation that could put this information at risk.
The Office of the Attorney General encourages all Texans, individual consumers and businesses alike, to contact us if they discover a business that is not taking proper care of their clients' information by calling us at 1-800-252-8011.

Robert Southey (1774 - 1843 / Bristol / England)
A wrinkled crabbed man they picture thee,
Old Winter, with a rugged beard as grey
As the long moss upon the apple-tree;
Blue-lipt, an icedrop at thy sharp blue nose,
Close muffled up, and on thy dreary way
Plodding alone through sleet and drifting snows.
They should have drawn thee by the high-heapt hearth,
Old Winter! seated in thy great armed chair,
Watching the children at their Christmas mirth;

New Entrant Motor Carrier Safety Program
The New Entrant Motor Carrier Safety Program, administered by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO), is designed to help new motor carrier operations understand the complex federal and state regulations that motor carriers are required to follow. This program was implemented in response to the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999, which aimed at reducing the number of safety incidents involving new motor carriers and drivers by providing increased training. In Ohio, the PUCO conducts all new entrant safety audits on behalf of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
All new interstate motor carriers are considered a new entrant for 18 months after they register with the FMCSA and receive an identification number from the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT). New entrant carriers are required to undergo and pass a safety audit within this period of time.
New entrant safety audit
The safety audit, conducted by the PUCO, is an educational module designed to ensure new entrant carriers have the knowledge and tools they need to operate safely and comply with state and federal regulations. While the safety audit will not result in a safety rating for the new entrant carrier, the audit does give the PUCO and the carrier the opportunity discuss any areas in which they may not be fully compliant.
During the safety audit, PUCO staff review areas of the motor carrier operation such as insurance, driver qualifications and hours of service, inspection and maintenance of vehicles and transportation of hazardous materials. The safety audit is held at a carrier's place of business or one of 18 regional locations throughout the state. The best location is determined when the carrier contacts the PUCO to schedule the audit.
Once the audit is completed, results are sent to the FMCSA and the carrier remains on new entrant status until the end of the 18 month period, during which time they continue to be closely monitored.
New Entrant Motor Carrier Program: Frequently asked questions
1. Why do I need a safety audit?
The safety audit was established as part of the New Entrant Motor Carrier Program in 1999 through the signing of the federal Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act. Each new interstate motor carrier that registers with the FMCSA is considered a new entrant for the first 18 months of operation. In Ohio, the PUCO conducts all new entrant motor carrier safety audits.
The safety audit is an opportunity for new motor carriers to meet with the PUCO to ensure they have the knowledge and tools needed to comply with federal and state regulations and operate safely. During the safety audit, carriers will work with PUCO staff to review records, understand the safety regulations, and determine if any areas need to be improved to operate in compliance.
2. How do I know if the new entrant program applies to me?
The new entrant motor carrier program applies to all new interstate motor carriers for 18 months after registering with the FMCSA and receiving a USDOT identification number. (Refer to CMV 390.5)
Please note that there are a few exceptions to this rule, which will be addressed in questions 7-9.
3. How do I schedule a safety audit?
To schedule a new entrant safety audit, contact the PUCO at (877) 709-0121.
4. Where do I need to go for the safety audit?
The PUCO conducts safety audits at a carrier's facility or at one of 18 satellite locations throughout the state. When you call the PUCO to schedule the audit, a staff member will work with you to determine which location will be the best place for you and a staff member to conduct the audit.
5. How long will the audit take?
The safety audit process generally takes two to four hours.
6. What materials will be reviewed during the safety audit?
During the safety audit, PUCO staff will review the documentation of the motor carrier operation, including the following:
Insurance and economic documentation
Controlled substances and alcohol testing
Accident records
Driver qualifications
Hours of service logs
Equipment/maintenance records
Hazardous materials records (if applicable)
Articles of incorporation
Gross vehicle weight rating documentation
When you schedule the safety audit, you will receive more detailed instructions about the forms and documentation you will need to bring to the audit.
7. Am I still considered a new entrant if I am leased onto another motor carrier company?
If you are a new carrier operating under the authority of another carrier, you are considered a registrant and do not need to go through the safety audit process with the PUCO. However, you still need to inform the PUCO of your operating status with the other carrier.
8. What if I operate solely in Ohio?
If you are a motor carrier operating only in Ohio, you are considered an intrastate motor carrier and do not need to schedule a safety audit. However, intrastate for-hire motor carriers still need to register their operations with the PUCO.
9. What happens if I do not show up to my scheduled audit?
Failure to show up to a scheduled audit may result in your USDOT number being revoked or your operation placed out of service by FMCSA. If for some reason you are unable to attend your scheduled safety audit, please contact the PUCO at (877) 709-0121 as soon as possible to reschedule.
10. How do I ensure a successful safety audit?
To ensure a successful safety audit, make sure you have all the required records organized and well-documented. This will enable the PUCO to conduct a thorough review of your motor carrier operation and make sure you are complying with all of the federal and state regulations.
The safety audit will not result in a safety rating for your motor carrier. This process is an opportunity for you to meet with the PUCO to review your records and make sure you understand what needs to be done to operate in compliance.
11. What happens if there are problems found during the safety audit?
If the PUCO staff person conducting the audit finds areas of deficiency within your motor carrier operation, they will make you aware of them so you can take corrective action to ensure compliance in the future.
Once the safety audit is completed, the PUCO staff person sends the information from the audit to the FMCSA for review. If the FMCSA determines that there were enough deficiencies to warrant a failed safety audit, the FMCSA will send the new entrant carrier a written "Notice to Remedy" within 45 days. This will include information about the actions that need to be taken in order for the new entrant carrier to keep their USDOT number and continue operations.
The new entrant safety audit is meant to be an educational tool to help new entrant carriers understand the safety regulations and what needs to be done to ensure compliance. Many areas of the motor carrier operation are reviewed during the audit. However, several critical safety areas, called acute regulations, are especially important in ensuring the safe and responsible operation of motor carriers. If during the safety audit the PUCO discovers an acute violation in the new entrant operation, the safety audit will turn into a formal compliance review that could result in penalties against the carrier.
Some examples of acute violations are:
Failing to implement an alcohol and/or controlled substance testing program.
Knowingly allowing, requiring, permitting or authorizing a driver to drive who is disqualified to operate a commercial motor vehicle.
Requiring or permitting a driver to drive a motor vehicle while under the influence of, or in
possession of, an intoxicating beverage.
Requiring or permitting the operation of a commercial motor vehicle declared out of
service before repairs were made.
For a complete list of acute violations, see 49 CFR 385.
12. What happens after the safety audit?
After the safety audit is conducted, a carrier will remain on new entrant status for the remainder of the 18 months after receiving a USDOT number. During this 18 month period, the carrier is closely monitored by the PUCO to ensure that operations remain in compliance with federal and state regulations.

Once upon a time, the prophet Moses asked to see God's glory. God told him that no one on earth could see His face and live. Instead:
God said "Look, here is a place right beside me. Put yourself on this rock. When my Glory passes by, I'll put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with my hand until I've passed by. Then I'll take my hand away and you'll see my back. But you won't see my face."
… God descended in the cloud and took up his position there beside him and called out the name, God. God passed in front of him … At once, Moses fell to the ground and worshiped, saying, "Please, O Master, if you see anything good in me, please Master, travel with us, hard-headed as these people are. Forgive our iniquity and sin. Own us, possess us."
I came home in the wee sma's of Saturday morning. Brian was waiting for me at the Vancouver airport, nearly 25 hours after I left Haiti. I clung to him, and I wept a little, and we drove home through the darkness, I talked steady and quiet. The tinies made a banner to welcome me home, the countdown on our kitchen chalkboard was down to a triumphant "0 Days Until Mum Comes Home." Anne woke up and sleepily came to the kitchen, I snatched her into my arms and the torrent was released, I sobbed. I went to Joseph, and lifted him out of his bed, I pulled Evelynn from her crib, and I held my children in my arms and cried.
I stank. I stank like sweat, and travel, and Haiti, so I stripped off my clothes and then I doubled over in my walk-in closet, and started to sob all over again. Brian asked me what was wrong, if I was having a hard time with all of our beautiful home, and all I could say was, "I'm just so glad to be out of there. I'm so glad to be home."
I had a very long, very hot shower. I shaved my legs at 2 in the morning. I put on my perfume. Then I went to bed with the window wide open so I could hear the rain and the room became very cold.
On Saturday, I made mashed potatoes and pot roast, I drank tea, I did crafts, I went to a garage sale. And the whole time, I carried Haiti in my heart, and I felt like a temple. I still can't talk about what I learned about child trafficking.
I feel like I saw the back of God last week, and I cannot bear it, the glory of God in Haiti was too much for me. The last time I felt this close to the glory of God was while I was giving birth to my tines; that collusion of pain and suffering and joy and release and life. It's similar for some reason, and I don't know why. Right now, I feel like I did after giving birth: "I'll never do THAT again."
I simultaneously hated Haiti, and I loved it. I never want to go back, and I cannot wait to go back. I want to forget the orphanage and the child trafficking and the smell of tent city, and the phrase "rape camp" and yet I keep falling to me knees, because, I saw God there, I did.
I came a bit too close to God down by the equator, and I feel safer here, in my nice home with my stocked freezer, listening to the rain falling steady.
It's a relief; a relief to be able to insulate from the wild goodness of God I saw in Haiti, and this tame God I know here is easier to manage. I need a bit of space, I need to catch my breath, I need to fall to the ground and beg God to travel with me. And I need to wake up tomorrow, and pack a lunch for my eldest daughter's school day, and I need to write my book, and I need to fold the laundry.
I need God to cover me with his hand again, and let me catch my breath in the cleft of the rock for a bit. That sight of his back was a bit too much for me to handle.

text: Radical Roach is a very fun experience, but is missing a few important things. Sometimes the way Radical Roach weaves in and out of the classic SHMUP makes it seem like it should have zigged when it zagged (no score system being one of the biggest examples). Overall, Radical Roach is still a fun play.

Travelers Corp. is selling the investment banking firm of Dillon, Read & Co. for $122 million to its management and a London firm, just five years after buying it at a higher price. The sale of the old-line Wall Street firm marks the latest in a series of divestitures by Travelers, which is trying to manage investment problems and raise capital.
Travelers said Tuesday the sale will result in a $34 million charge, after taxes, that will lower fourth-quarter earnings. The charge reflects the fact that Travelers bought Dillon Read for $157.6 million in 1986. Travelers also has paid another $67.5 million because of employment and non-competition contracts.

Introduction — May 28, 2013
Make no mistake: deliberate attempts are being made to incite conflict between native Britons and the country's Muslim community.
The recent beheading in Woolwich — whether carried out by actors and stage managed for the benefit of the media or not — was part of this. So is the vandalising of War Memorials with "Islam" in bold letters reported below.
It cannot be emphasised enough however, that this needs to be seen in the light of 'predictions' made by Albert Pike over a century ago.
A leading U.S. freemason and former confederate general, Pike was also a practising Satanist who associated with high level political movers and shakers in his day. However, his abiding claim to fame is a prediction he made about three world wars.
The first war would result in a revolution in Russia and the overthrow of the Imperial Romanov family, Pike claimed. At the end of the upheaval, he explained in a letter to Italian nationalist leader Mazzini: "Communism will be built and used in order to destroy the other governments and in order to weaken the religions."
The letter itself was displayed in the British Museum in London, where it was copied by William Guy Carr, a former Intelligence Officer in the Royal Canadian Navy.
It has subsequently disappeared and the Museum denies having any record of the letter.
However, according to William Guy Carr's transcription: Pike went on to explain how the Second World War would be started by inciting friction between fascists and political Zionists. During the war international Communism would rise in power to rival the capitalist West.
While the end of the war would see political Zionism become "strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine". All of which is now a matter of historical record.
Finally, Pike went on, the third and final war would be fomented by "agentur" of the "Illuminati" inciting friction between the West, political Zionists and leaders of the Islamic world.
To quote from Pike's letter:
"We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil…"
"Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue" (through large scale immigration? Ed.) "will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…"
Is this what we are seeing unfold right now on the streets of London?
It would seem so in the light of Pike's letter but don't expect the corporate media to tell you. They are as much a part of the problem as the vandals who defaced the War Memorials and the provocateurs who attacked mosques.
War memorials vandalised
Hayley Dixon — Telegraph.co.uk May 27, 2013
The RAF Bomber Command War Memorial and the Animals in War Memorial, both in central London, were covered in red paint.
The Metropolitan Police have not yet made any arrests, so the motivation behind the damage remains unclear.
The words written on the memorials have been covered up with plastic sheets after being discovered in the early hours of the morning, but it is believed that "Islam" has been written on each of them.
The Bomber Command Memorial, which was unveiled by the Queen last summer, remembers the sacrifice and bravery of the 55,573 RAF crew who lost their lives in the Second World War.
The £2million Animals in War Memorial, which was funded by donations, is a tribute to all the animals that served, suffered and died alongside allied forces in the 20th Century.
he monument was unveiled by the Princess Royal in November 2004 – the 90th anniversary of the start of World War I.
A spokesman for the Scotland Yard said: "At 5am this morning police discovered graffiti on both the RAF Bomber Command War Memorial in Green Park and the Animals in War Memorial on Park Lane.
"Royal Parks' officers and Westminster police are investigating. There have been no arrests at present."
The incidents are being treated as criminal damage, police added.
The news emerged as around 1,000 English Defence League (EDL) demonstrators marched through Admiralty Arch and onto Parliament Square.
The protesters then made their way along Whitehall before taking a position on the pavement across the road from Downing Street.
A much smaller group of anti-fascist demonstrators gathered opposite them holding an "EDL Racists" banner.
Both sides traded insults but were kept apart by officers and barriers. The EDL supporters chanted: "We hate Cameron."
They were escorted by Metropolitan Police officers and vans, while a force helicopter followed overhead.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said Whitehall was closed to traffic because of "a number of demonstrations".
There have been increasing tensions since the killing of Drummer Lee Rigby by two Islamist extremists last week, and a number of mosques have been attacked.
Last night the Grimsby Islamic Cultural Centre was attacked with petrol bombs despite extra police patrols in the area after a similar attack three days ago.
Mosque chairman Diler Gharib was inside the mosque with a young family when it was attacked. Two people were arrested nearby.

Maryland Day is a legal holiday in the U.S. state of Maryland. It is observed on the anniversary of the March 25, 1634, landing of the first European settlers in the Province of Maryland. On this day settlers from The Ark and The Dove first stepped foot onto Maryland soil, at St. Clement's Island in the Potomac River. The settlers were about 150 in number, hailing from Cowes on the Isle of Wight in England. The colony was granted to Cæcilius Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore two years prior by Charles I of England. In thanksgiving for the safe landing, Jesuit Father Andrew White celebrated mass for the colonists, perhaps for the first time ever in this part of the world. The landing coincided with the Feast of the Annunciation, a holy day honoring Mary, and the start of the new year in England's legal calendar (prior to 1752).
The holiday began in 1903, the date chosen by the state board of education to honor Maryland history. In 1916, the legislature authorized Maryland Day as a legal holiday (Chapter 633, Acts of 1916).
