HP privacy practices are consistent with the BBB Code of Business Practices and we proudly display the BBB seal. In the development of HP's privacy policies and standards, we respect and take into account the major principles and frameworks around the world, including the OECD Guidelines on the Protection of Privacy and Transborder Flows, EU Directive 95/46/EC, APEC Privacy Framework, and the Madrid Resolution on International Privacy Standards and the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

SCOPE OF THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT HP is a global organization, with legal entities, business processes, management structures, and technical systems that cross borders. This Privacy Statement applies to all HP-owned websites, domains, services, applications, and products, and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries ("HP sites or services"), except that a privacy policy or statement specific to a particular HP program, product, or service may supersede or supplement this Privacy Statement. LINKS TO NON-HP WEBSITES HP sites or services may provide links to third-party applications, products, services, or websites for your convenience and information. If you access those links, you will leave the HP site. HP does not control those third party sites or their privacy practices, which may differ from HP's practices. We do not endorse or make any representations about third-party sites. The personal data you choose to provide to or that is collected by these third parties is not covered by the HP Privacy Statement. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you interact with before allowing the collection and use of your personal information. We may also provide social media features that enable you to share information with your social networks and to interact with HP on various social media sites. Your use of these features may result in the collection or sharing of information about you, depending on the feature. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and settings on the social media sites with which you interact to make sure you understand the information that may be collected, used, and shared by those sites. 2. COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION HP collects, exports, and uses personal information to manage your relationship with HP and better serve you by personalizing your experience and interaction with HP. Such collection is done with appropriate notice and consent, along with required filings with data protection authorities, where required. HP may collect your personal information through your access and use of website, web-based applications, or mobile applications, during conversations or correspondence with HP representatives, or when you purchase goods or services or complete an online application form.

This information will be used by our financial services providers in determining whether to extend you credit and how much to extend. If you choose to use a "tell-a-friend" or a similar referral program on our site, we will ask you for your friend's e-mail address, social media handle, phone number, or other contact information to send your friend an invitation to participate in the program. If you post, comment, indicate interest or complaint, or share personal information, including photographs, to any public forum on an HP site, social network, blog, or other such forum, please be aware that any information you submit can be read, viewed, collected, or used by other users of these forums, and could be used to contact you, send you unsolicited messages, or for purposes that neither you nor HP have control over. HP is not responsible for the personal information you choose to provide in these forums. In addition to the information you provide, HP may also collect information during your visit to an HP website, web-based application, or a website "powered by" another company on behalf of HP, through our Automatic Data Collection Tools, which include Web beacons, cookies, and embedded Web links. These tools collect certain traffic information that your browser sends to a website, such as your browser type and language, access times, and the address of the website from which you arrived. They may also collect information about your Internet Protocol (IP) address, unique device identifier, clickstream behavior (i.e., the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions you take in connection with HP websites or "powered by" websites) and product information. HP may also use some of these Automatic Data Collection Tools in connection with certain emails and communications sent from HP and therefore may collect information using these tools when you open the email or click on a link contained in the email. To learn more, read How HP uses automatic data collection tools. HP also collects information from publicly or commercially available sources that it deems credible. Such information may include your name, address, email address, preferences, interests, and demographic/profile data. The information HP collects from its public or commercial sources may be used along with the information HP collects when you visit HP's sites. For example, HP may compare the geographic information acquired from commercial sources with the IP address collected by Automatic Data Collection Tools to derive your general geographic area. Where necessary, HP may also use information provided by you or your employer, together with information from publicly available and other online and offline sources, to conduct due diligence checks on business contacts as part of HP's anti-corruption program. HP may also collect some information that is not personal information because it does not identify you or anyone else. For example, we may collect anonymous answers to surveys or aggregated information about how users use our websites, products or services. 3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION HP may use your information to manage our relationship with you assist you in completing a transaction or order prevent and detect security threats, fraud or other malicious activity communicate with you about HP products, services or support and send marketing communications provide products, services and support to you improve and develop products, services and support including through quality control, research and data analysis activities update you on new services and benefits provide personalized promotional offers measure performance of marketing initiatives, ads, and websites "powered by" another company on HP's behalf allow you to participate in contests and surveys answer enquiries, provide information, support or advice about existing and new products or services personalize some HP websites provide you with access to protected areas of our website assess and improve the performance and operation of HP websites to keep your contact details up to date and provide updated details to HP service providers and suppliers where necessary to process and respond to any complaint made by you We will give you the opportunity to choose your privacy preferences regarding the marketing communications we send (see Your choices and selecting your privacy preferences). Credit card information is used only for payment processing and fraud prevention. Salary information, government issued identification number and other sensitive personal information is not used for any other purpose by our financial services providers or HP and will not be kept longer than necessary for providing the services, unless you ask us to retain your credit card information for future purchases. 4. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION HP will not sell, rent or lease your personal information to others except as described in this Statement. HP shares personal information in the following ways: HP retains service providers and suppliers to manage or support its business operations, provide professional services, deliver complete products, services and customer solutions and to assist HP with marketing and communication initiatives. These providers and suppliers may be located in the US or other overseas locations and include, for example, credit card processors, debt collectors, providers of customer support and live-help, marketing and communications, hosting and IT service providers, email service providers, automated data processors, shipping agents, management and support of HP websites, order fulfillment and delivery. Suppliers and service providers are required by contract to keep confidential and secure the information received on behalf of HP and may not use it for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for HP. From time to time, HP participates in marketing initiatives with other companies, including websites "powered by" another company on behalf of HP. As part of these initiatives, certain HP services and marketing communications may be delivered at the same time as those from other companies. Some of these services and communications offer you the option to share personal information with both HP and the other companies participating in these initiatives. For example, you may receive marketing communications from HP and other companies or have the opportunity to register online for software products from multiple companies. If you choose to provide personal information only to HP, HP will not share this information with the other companies participating in that marketing initiative. If you choose to provide personal information to the other companies, that personal information will be handled according to the privacy policy of those companies, which may differ from HP's policies and practices. HP may also transfer your personal information to other HP-owned business entities in the US and Worldwide. By accessing HP websites, registering for an account or service, or otherwise providing HP with your personal information, you consent to this transfer of your personal information throughout the global HP network of entities. Except as described in this Statement, HP will not share the personal information you provide to HP with non-HP third parties without your permission, unless to: (i) respond to duly authorized information requests of police and governmental authorities; (ii) comply with any law, regulation, subpoena, or court order; (iii) investigate and help prevent security threats, fraud or other malicious activity; (iv) enforce/protect the rights and properties of HP or its subsidiaries; or (v) protect the rights or personal safety of HP, our employees, and third parties on or using HP property when allowed and in line with the requirements of applicable law. Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business reasons, HP decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize businesses in some countries. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers, or the receipt of it from sellers. It is HP's practice to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions. 5. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY HP does not knowingly collect information from children as defined by local law, and does not target its websites or mobile applications to children under these ages. We encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children's online and mobile activities and interests. 6. YOUR CHOICES AND SELECTING YOUR PRIVACY PREFERENCES HP gives you the choice of receiving a variety of information that complements our products and services. You can subscribe to receive certain product- and service-specific information and also choose to receive HP general communications. We give you a choice regarding delivery of HP general communications by postal mail, email, telephone, or mobile device. You can make or change your choices about receiving either subscription or general communications at the data collection point or by using other methods, which are listed in the following sections. This option does not apply to communications primarily for the purpose of administering order completion, contracts, support, product safety warnings, driver updates, or other administrative and transactional notices where the primary purpose of these communications is not promotional in nature. SUBSCRIPTION COMMUNICATIONS Subscription communications include email newsletters, software updates, etc. that may be expressly requested by you or which you consented to receive. After you request such communications, you may opt out of receiving them by using one of the following methods: Select the email "opt out" or "unsubscribe" link, or follow the opt-out instructions included in each email subscription communication. To unsubscribe from messages delivered to mobile devices, reply to the message with the words "STOP" or "END." Return to the Web page(s) where you originally registered your preferences and follow the opt-out instructions. Access to many HP subscriptions is available at the Subscriber's Choice web page. Write to the HP Privacy Office (contact details below). Be sure to provide your name, relevant contact information, and specific relevant information about the HP subscriptions that you no longer wish to receive. HP GENERAL COMMUNICATIONS HP general communications provide information about products, services, and/or support. This may include new product or services information, special offers, or invitations to participate in market research or compliance reviews. You will often be able to use HP Passport to indicate whether you want to receive general communications from HP. HP Passport is a single-login service that lets you register with HP Passport-enabled websites using a single-user identifier and password of your choice. HP Passport uses cookies to store your basic personal information so you don't have to retype it when you return to one of HP's many websites in the future. HP Passport also allows you to set your privacy preferences. Your preferences will apply across HP websites, email, and other communication vehicles that use HP Passport. If you are unable to use HP Passport, you may opt out of receiving these general communications by using one of the following methods: Select the email "opt out" or "unsubscribe" link, or follow the opt-out instructions included in each email communication. To unsubscribe from messages delivered to mobile devices, reply to the message with the words "STOP" or "END." Write to the HP Privacy Office. Be sure to provide your name, relevant contact information, and specific relevant information about your privacy preferences. 7. ACCESS TO AND ACCURACY OF YOUR INFORMATION HP strives to keep your personal information accurately recorded. We have implemented technology, management processes and policies to help maintain data accuracy. HP provides individuals with reasonable access to personal information that they provided to HP and the reasonable ability to review and correct it or ask for anonymization, blockage, or deletion, as applicable. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity, such as requiring a password and user ID, before granting access to your data. To view and change the personal information that you directly provided to HP you can return to the web page where you originally submitted your data and follow the instructions on that web page, use HP Passport where enabled, or contact the HP Privacy Office. HP will respond to access requests within 30 days. 8. KEEPING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION SECURE HP takes seriously the trust you place in us. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, to maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of the information, HP utilizes reasonable and appropriate physical, technical, and administrative procedures to safeguard the information we collect and process. HP retains data only as required or permitted by local law and while it has a legitimate business purpose. When collecting or transferring sensitive information such as credit card information we use a variety of additional security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. The personal information you provide us is stored on computer systems located in controlled facilities which have limited access. When we transmit highly confidential information (such as credit card number or password) over the internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. Credit card numbers are used only for processing payments and are not used for other purposes. As part of real-time payment processing, HP subscribes to fraud management services. This service provides HP with an extra level of security to guard against credit card fraud and to protect your financial data. 9. CHANGES TO THIS STATEMENT If we modify our Privacy Statement, we will post the revised statement here, with an updated revision date. If we make significant changes to our Statement that materially alter our privacy practices, we may also notify you by other means, such as sending an email or posting a notice on our corporate website and/or social media pages prior to the changes taking effect. This privacy policy was last updated on October 2014. 10. CONTACTING US & HOW TO MAKE A COMPLAINT We value your opinions.

COOKIES A "cookie" is a small data file transferred by a website to your computer's hard drive. HP or its service providers send cookies when you surf our site or sites where our ads appear, make purchases, request or personalize information, or register yourself for certain services. Accepting the cookies used on our site, sites that are "powered by" another company on HP's behalf, or sites where our ads appear may give us access to information about your browsing behavior, which we may use to personalize your experience. Cookies are typically classified as either "session" cookies or "persistent" cookies. Session cookies do not stay on your computer after you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your computer until you delete them or they expire. Most browsers automatically accept cookies by default, but you can usually refuse cookies or selectively accept cookies by adjusting the preferences in your browser. If you turn off cookies, there may be some features of our site that will not be available to you and some Web pages may not display properly. In certain countries you may also adjust your HP.com and associated cookie preferences by using a preference manager tool in this Statement which is available from the site you are visiting. You can find information on popular browsers and how to adjust your cookie preferences in the help and support section of your browser. From time to time, HP will use Flash local shared objects (LSOs) to store Flash content information and preferences. LSOs perform similar functions to HTML browser cookies and deposit small files on your computer, which are commonly called Flash cookies. Flash cookies are different from browser cookies and cookie management tools provided by your browser may not remove Flash cookies. To learn more about Flash Cookies and how to manage the related privacy and storage settings, please visit the Adobe Systems website . WEB BEACONS Some HP.com and third-party web pages, applications, and HTML-formatted email use Web beacons alone or in conjunction with cookies to compile information about your website usage and your interaction with email, as well as to measure performance on hp.com, applications, and websites "powered by" another company on HP's behalf. A web beacon is an electronic image, called a single-pixel (1x1) or clear GIF. Web beacons can recognize certain types of information on your computer such as cookies, the time and date of a page viewed, and a description of the page where the web beacon is placed. Depending on the context, web beacons may also refer to content on a third-party server, and may be used by service providers to deliver relevant advertising to you. You may be able to disable web beacons in email messages by not downloading images contained in the message you receive (this feature varies depending on the email software used on your personal computer). However, doing this may not always disable a web beacon or other automatic data collection tools in the email message due to specific email software capabilities. For more information about this, please refer to the information provided by your email software or service provider. If you choose to receive marketing emails or newsletters from HP as specified in Your choices and selecting your privacy preferences, HP may automatically collect personal information about you. For example, through web beacons and personalized URLs embedded in these emails or newsletters, HP can track whether you've opened those messages and whether you've clicked on links contained within those messages. For more information on embedded web links, see below. EMBEDDED WEB LINKS Emails from HP, Internet keyboard keys preconfigured by HP, and promotional icons preinstalled on your PC desktop often use links designed to lead you to a relevant area on the Web, after redirection through HP's servers. The redirection system allows HP to change the destination URL of these links, if necessary, and to determine the effectiveness of our marketing initiatives. In emails, such web links may also allow HP to determine whether you have clicked a link in an email, and this information about the interaction may be connected to your personal identity. If you do not want HP to collect information about the links that you click, you can: change your choice about how you receive communications from HP (i.e. choose a text-based version of the message where available) or choose not to click links in an email that HP sends delete the promotional icons preinstalled by HP on your PC desktop or choose not to click on those reconfigure the Internet keyboard keys on certain PC models to launch a destination URL of your choice by using the instructions provided with your PC HP ADS AND OFFERINGS ON THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES HP contracts with service providers to place ads on websites owned by third parties. In addition, some websites may be "powered by" a service provider to provide HP offers on HP's behalf. These service providers may send cookies from and use web beacons on these third-party websites and on hp.com. The cookies and web beacons may enable HP to collect information about the pages you viewed and the links you clicked. Most web browsers offer you the ability to inform websites and ad networks that you do not want your online activities tracked through a "Do Not Track" feature. You can learn more about network advertising and how to opt out by visiting http://www.aboutads.info . Back to top

Cam4Free assesses NO fees for unlimited and unrestricted access to Cam4Free picture archives, free live guest chat, profiles, and all other free members-only services. If access to private video chat rooms require an additional fee, the amount of any such fee is prominently disclosed prior to entering the fee-based chat room. Private room fees are solely at the discretion and control of the Performer and will be fully disclosed to you before you enter any private room. There is also a user-controlled way to add an additional amount of money; this is the application of Gold in a chat room. The amount of Gold given will be added to any streaming charges incurred and billed in the same manner. Adding Gold is completely voluntary for the member. Provided that you (i) never enter a single fee-based chat room, and (ii) have not elected to participate in a premium service, you will never see a single charge from Cam4Free. Moreover, a nominal onetime application of a two dollar ($2 USD) transaction or "authorization" hold may be applied to your credit or debit card upon initial enrollment, which Cam4Free uses to confirm the integrity of your account information. This is not a Charge and will automatically be released per your card issuers discretion and policy. These nominal charges will not be applied to Direct Debit accounts. No charges will be made to your credit card, debit card, or Direct Debit account without your authorization by accessing the Pay Per Minute Areas on your membership account or authorizing a premium membership. A premium membership is defined as a membership that enables you to access services beyond per minute chat or free members-only services, such as video or Club membership. The amount and possible recurrence of all premium memberships with an associated fee will be clearly disclosed to you.
By entering these clearly delineated Pay Per Minute areas (fee-based chat rooms and premium services) you authorize the credit card, debit card, or Direct Debit account to be charged the posted rate. Credit card users and certain debit card users will be charged for the first full minute upon entering this area. This nominal amount is automatically refunded to you in the form of a credit to your Cam4Free account, and is credited toward the cost of any premium services you purchase. You will then be charged the rate used over this credit. Gold is defined as a site currency that you can send to the performer that is not tied to their private per minute chat rate or membership fees. 1 GOLD equals 1 unit in the currency for which you are charged, e.g. 1 US Dollar.
Cam4Free does not typically provide cash refunds unless extraordinary circumstances apply; we do, however, grant credits in the form of free time and provide discounts in the event you experience technical difficulties that you demonstrate to have made a sincere effort to resolve. All sales are final. Discount rates posted on the site can be changed without prior notice by Cam4Free at their sole discretion. Rates posted on the website at the time of purchase will be the prevailing discount applied to the purchase.
Furthermore, Cam4Free reserves the right to terminate any accounts "at will". We also hold that we have the right to deny service for accounts and users, deemed as fraudulent or otherwise high risk accounts. Processing is at our discretion for refunds for claims of fraud and/or disputes via email, phone calls to our processor and/or requests from issuing banks, banks offering Direct Debit, card holders, and credit card issuers.
We also report at our discretion and/or cooperate with law enforcement in any claims of fraud. Please see our privacy policy for further info on this subject.
Cam4Free provides its service to you as a registered subscriber or authorized user ("Member" or "you"), subject to the terms of this agreement. This document is a binding agreement and we shall refer to it as the "TOS" (Terms of Service).

You also warrant that the holder of any Rights, including moral rights in such Content, has completely and effectively waived all such Rights and validly and irrevocably granted to you the right to grant the license stated above. You also permit any Member and authorized user to access, display, view, store and reproduce the Content for personal use.

Accordingly, you acknowledge that neither Cam4Free, its affiliates, nor any ICP shall assume or have any liability for any action or inaction by Cam4Free, its affiliates, or any ICP with respect to Content on Cam4Free. Any conduct by a Member that in Cam4Free's sole discretion restricts or inhibits any other Member, person or entity from using or enjoying Cam4Free or another service shall entitle Cam4Free to immediately terminate membership without notice. You agree to use Cam4Free only for lawful purposes. You may not use, or allow others to use, your Cam4Free account, either directly or indirectly, to:
(1) post, transmit, or promote any unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, obscene, hateful, racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable Content; (2) harass, threaten, embarrass, or cause distress, unwanted attention or discomfort upon another Member or user of Cam4Free or other person or entity; (3) post, transmit, promote, link, or facilitate the distribution of content that may generally be considered obscene, including, but not necessarily limited to, bestiality, urination/defecation, fisting, incest, extreme sado-masochism or bondage presented in a sexual context, or any presentation of minors engaged in intimate physical contact or sexual situations, acted or depicted. (4) disrupt the normal flow of dialogue in a chat room or on a message board or otherwise act in a manner that negatively affects other Members, users, individuals or entities, such as causing the screen to "scroll" faster than other Members or users are able to type to it or any action to a similar disruptive effect; (5) impersonate any person or entity, including, but not limited to, a Cam4Free official, an ICP, forum leader, guide or host, or communicate under a false name or a name that you are not entitled or authorized to use, or impersonate a minor; (6) post or transmit, or cause to be posted or transmitted, chain letters or pyramid schemes; (7) post or transmit, or cause to be posted or transmitted, any unsolicited advertising, promotional materials, or other forms of solicitation to other Members, individuals or entities, or collect or harvest screen names of other Members, without permission; (8) post or transmit, or cause to be posted or transmitted, any communication or solicitation designed or intended to obtain password, account, or private financial information from any Member; (9) violate any operating rules, policies or guidelines of any other interactive service, including, but not limited to, the operating policies of the International Areas; or (10) intentionally or unintentionally violate any applicable local, state, national, international or foreign law, including, but not limited to, any rules or regulations having the force of law.
Cam4Free reserves the right to protect its Members and Cam4Free from offensive email communication, including, but not limited to, the right to block mass email solicitations, or "junk email."
You also agree and accept that as new products become available on or through Cam4Free, your use of these products is subject to the TOS. In addition to Content and services provided by ICPs, Cam4Free, and its affiliates, others may offer Content, software or other services to Members with their own terms and conditions relating to your use. Failure to abide by these terms and conditions may result in termination of membership. Furthermore, other such networks, including Internet areas, may subject Members to their own usage policies.
If you are a Performer, Cam4Free grants to you a non-exclusive, limited license to use Cam4Free software to transmit your personal video signal to Cam4Free from authorized locations in accordance with this agreement. This license is subject to the restriction that, except where expressly permitted by law, you may not translate, reverse-engineer or reverse-compile or decompile, disassemble or make derivative works from, Cam4Free software.

Cheers For Biden At NAACP Convention As He Contrasts Obama And Romney
A day after Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney spoke to the nation's oldest civil right organization, Vice President Joe Biden appeared at the NAACP's annual convention. He quickly tackled one issue that drew Romney sustained boos — the 2010 health care overhaul.
Biden appeared in place of President Obama, who made a brief videotaped address thanking the group for its work. He walked out to warm applause, and several of his remarks were interrupted by shouts of agreement.
When he mentioned what he sees as the benefits of the health care law, the shouts changed to roars of approval. Biden declared that 8 million black Americans now have health care insurance under the new law, and thanked Obama for his leadership.
Biden spelled out further differences between Obama's campaign and Romney's on health care, the environment, equal pay for women and education. He claimed Romney's tax reforms are skewed for the wealthy at the expense of domestic programs that help less affluent people. Biden asserted more than 2 million black Americans will see their taxes go up under the tax plan Romney is proposing.
As NPR's Liz Halloran reports, when Romney yesterday said President Obama blamed the rich for economic problems and contrasted his own efforts as helping the middle class: "The audience reaction? Crickets."
But Biden's hugest response came on voter ID laws, a subject the civil rights group is keenly tracking. Romney did not address the matter yesterday. After discussing the NAACP's long history of fighting for African Americans' right to vote, Biden queried, "did you think we'd be fighting these battles again?"
Biden said ballot access should be "expanded and unencumbered". Then he recalled his years in the Senate, where he worked with the GOP on voting issues like motor voter, early voting and voting by mail. But times have changed, he said, adding: "This ain't your father's Republican party."
The vice president concluded by urging convention delegates to imagine a changed Justice Department under a President Romney. And he warned Romney would make substantial changes to the Supreme Court.

Princeton neuroscientists have been awarded a $4 million grant from the John Templeton Foundation to explore how the human brain enables us to pursue goals and juggle priorities in an environment full of distractions.
The grant will fund brain imaging and other experiments aimed at discovering how the brain exerts "cognitive control" over our thoughts and behavior, keeping us on task and able to achieve long-term goals. Cognitive control is fundamental to higher-level mental activities such as planning, problem-solving and social interaction, according to project leader Jonathan Cohen, the Robert Bendheim and Lynn Bendheim Thoman Professor in Neuroscience and co-director of the Princeton Neuroscience Institute (PNI).
"Our studies will reveal how the brain accomplishes real-world tasks — everything from ignoring distractions when driving to sticking to your diet," said Cohen, whose work centers on developing theories of cognitive control as well as testing those theories using brain imaging. "This understanding may point the way to new interventions for strengthening cognitive control in healthy individuals," Cohen said, "and restoring it where it is impaired, as in neuropsychiatric disorders."
The project will explore how parts of the brain interact to decide what goals are important and how to pursue them. In addition to using Princeton's world-class brain imaging equipment, the researchers will develop computational models of brain function, as well as new brain imaging methods tailored to studying cognitive control.
The foundation grant will support five research questions:
—How do we exert self-control over impulses, such as resisting the urge to scratch a mosquito bite or the temptation to cheat on a diet? (Led by Cohen and Matthew Botvinick, associate professor of psychology and PNI)
—How does the brain manage and remember goals and competing subgoals? For example, if you need to study for a test, how do you decide how long to spend studying each of the particular topics that may be on the test? (Led by Botvinick and Yael Niv, assistant professor of psychology and PNI)
—What goes into prospective memory and planning? For example, how do we decide when to commit a plan to long-term memory and return to it later, rather than keep it actively in mind? (Led by Kenneth Norman, associate professor of psychology and PNI and Cohen)
—How do we balance goal-directed behavior with discovery and learning? When immersed in achieving a goal such as completing a homework assignment, how do we decide to postpone that goal in favor of exploring and learning about other things — for example, going to a seminar rather than completing the homework assignment? (Led by Cohen and Niv)
—How can we improve on the machine-learning algorithms that take brain scans and decode what people are thinking about at a particular time? (Led by Norman and Cohen)
Support from the foundation will enable researchers to move away from simplified models of human behavior that neuroscientists use because they are relatively easier to study in the laboratory and interpret than the complicated behaviors of real life. "The grant will enable Princeton researchers to design experiments that are much closer to what goes on in the real world," Cohen said.
The John Templeton Foundation, established in 1987, serves as a philanthropic catalyst for discoveries relating to the fundamental questions of human purpose and ultimate reality.

City Bank Texas Launches Mobile Photo Bill Pay Solution
With experts predicting that mobile photo bill pay will be the next big thing in mobile banking, Lubbock, Texas-based City Bank Texas is getting in on the action. The bank ($2 billion in assets) announced today that it will be offering the Picture Pay mobile photo bill pay solution from Allied Payments Network, an online bill payment solutions provider. The announcement follows US Bank's roll-out of Mitek's mobile photo bill pay solution last month, which was the first launch of a mobile photo bill pay solution by a large bank in the U.S.
The new Picture Pay solution allows the customer to pay their bill with their smartphone's camera, according to a statement released by Allied Payments Network. The user takes a picture of the bill and types in the amount to be paid and the date of the payment. The solution's analytics verify the biller, and the bill is then paid. Customers can also expedite payments for a small fee to avoid more costly late fees, the statement said.
[See Related: U.S. Bank Rolls Out Mobile Photo Bill Pay]
Industry experts say mobile photo bill pay is quickly becoming one of the most desired features among mobile customers. "In mobile banking, customers love the shiny new toy. That used to be mobile remote deposit capture. When we think about what's around the corner, we see mobile photo bill pay as the next shiny new toy," Teresa Epperson, a partner at the consultancy AlixPartners, said in a recent conversation with Bank Systems & Technology. Consumer survey data from AlixPartners from 2012 shows that among smartphone owners looking to switch banks, mobile photo bill pay was the second most cited feature that would motivate a customer to switch institutions, trailing only mobile remote deposit capture.

Blackberry Apple Galettes And Burnt Sugar Ice Cream
Yesterday I woke up to the sound of my husband's trombone and although he rarely rehearses at home it did not strike me as unusual. It felt nice actually. Deep, resonant notes, slightly muted as they came through the floor and walls. I immediately recognized the melody of "our" song, "Can't give you anything but love". The trombone stopped, the pupps rushed down the steps toward the bedroom and when they saw the door open, the immediately jumped on the bed to give me a good round of morning licks. Nice..although not earth shaterring new.
The unusual part was they were spotting brand new heart shaped name tags and a love poem was tucked inside a notch of their collars. Ah! Love Day! A serenade, two pimped up furry fuzz balls and the man whose love is more beautiful than anything I have ever known. Love and the little funny things in life, as we try to live them everyday. Except he tied it all up in a virtual red bow and I had extra butterflies in my stomach. Singletons out there, do not despair!
Hidden from him were my breakfast plans. I know B. and I know he loves and enjoy eating and one thing we share is our love for pies, tartlets or galettes and a good ice cream, separate, together, one after the other, etc….Granted this breakfast was a little richer than what we usually have but B. is playing music, serenading others this lovely night, so it was like starting the day the way we would have ended it if we had been together, with dessert. I had made blackberry and apple galettes as a thank you gift for a neighbor and kept one for us to share and topped ours with a scoop of burnt sugar ice cream. Come to think of it, we had all the major food group covered!
The beauty of these galettes is that you can use any combination of fruits that strikes your fancy and you don't have to worry about tart pans and sizes, blind baking, etc… The pate sucree dough gets just a little rolling, filling, crimping and you're almost there. I like to add a pinch of fresh cracked pepper to the fruits to enhance their flavor as they bake. The burnt sugar ice cream is one of my favorites from Dorie Greenspan, almost enough to make any man or woman swoon it is that good, creamy and tasty.
Breakfast that is enough make you want to give your mate an extra hug or kiss today and for the days to come…And for those of you who inquired about my friend Linda who was proposing with a ring and a box of heart macarons, I just got a text message that her partner said "yes!" and then there were pelnty of these "!" and a bunch of smileys….
Blackberry Apple Galettes And Burnt Sugar Ice Cream Recipe:
Makes three 5-inch galettes
For the Pate Sucree:
2 cups (250gr) all purpose flour
2 tablespoons (25gr) sugar
pinch of salt
1 stick (113gr) butter, cut in small dices
1 egg
2-4 tablespoons cold water
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt and cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture ressembles forms pea size crumbs. Make a well in the center and add the egg. With a fork, start working the flour in a little at a time and when most of it is incorporated, quickly mix the dough into a coherent and smooth mass, adding some cold water, a tablespoon at a time, if necessary (this varies depending on the humidity or altitude of where you live). Wrap the dough in plastic and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
For the fruit filling:
1 small apple (I chose Granny Smith, peeled, cored and diced
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons (25gr) sugar, divided
1 tablespoon (10gr)cornstarch
3 tablespoons water
1 cup (200gr) blackberries
pinch of frech cracked black pepper
egg wash to brush the crust with before baking
In a medium saucepan set over medium low heat, cook the apple with one tablespoon of sugar and the lemon juice until fork tender. Add the blackberries and let them cook for a couple of minutes. Dilute the cornstarch in the water and add it to the fruits along with the cracked pepper. Cook until the mixture is not cloudy anymore from the cornstarch. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
To assemble:
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Roll the dough onto a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thick and cut three 6-inch rounds in it and place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Fill the center of each round with the filling and crimp the edges towards the center. I don't like to cover the fruit that much with the dough but that is a personal preference. Brush the crust with egg wash and sprinkle with the remaining sugar over the galettes. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Burnt Sugar Ice Cream, adapted from Dorie Greenspan:
1/2 cup (100gr)sugar
2 tablespoon water
2 cups(500ml) whole milk
1 cup (125ml) heavy cream
5 egg yolks
pinch of salt
Stir the sugar and water in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and cook until it becomes a caramel of deep amber color. Lower the heat and add the milk. It will bubble like mad but continue stirring until the mixture is smooth, remove from the heat. Add the cream and stir until combined.
In a large bowl, whip the egg yolks and salt until pale and thick. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture over it and whisk to temper the yolks. Put the mixture back into the saucepan and cook until it coats the back of a spoon (creme anglaise consistency or 170 degrees F).
Let cool completely and refrigerate until very cold (preferably overnight. Process the ice according your ice cream maker manufacturer's instructions. Freeze for 2 hours or more or until firm to scoop.

Doubts over Common Core
The Washington Post
| Thursday, January 16, 2014, 11:02 a.m.
WASHINGTON — Viewed from Washington, which often is the last to learn about important developments, opposition to the Common Core State Standards Initiative still seems as small as the biblical cloud that ariseth out of the sea, no larger than a man's hand. Soon, however, this education policy will fill a significant portion of the political sky.
The Common Core represents the ideas of several national organizations (of governors and school officials) about what and how children should learn. It is the thin end of an enormous wedge. It is designed to advance in primary and secondary education the general progressive agenda of centralization and uniformity.
Understandably, proponents of the Common Core want its nature and purpose to remain as cloudy as possible for as long as possible. Hence they say it is a "state-led," "voluntary" initiative to merely guide education with "standards" that are neither written nor approved nor mandated by Washington, which would never, ever "prescribe" a national curriculum. Proponents talk warily when describing it because a candid characterization would reveal yet another Obama administration indifference to legality.
The 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), the original federal intrusion into this state and local responsibility, said "nothing in this act" shall authorize any federal official to "mandate, direct, or control" schools' curriculums. The 1970 General Education Provisions Act stipulates that "no provision of any applicable program shall be construed to authorize any" federal agency or official "to exercise any direction, supervision, or control over the curriculum, program of instruction" or selection of "instructional materials by any" school system. The 1979 law creating the Department of Education forbids it from exercising "any direction, supervision, or control over the curriculum" or "program of instruction" of any school system. The ESEA as amended says no Education Department funds "may be used … to endorse, approve, or sanction any curriculum designed to be used in" grades K-12.
Nevertheless, what begins with mere national standards must breed ineluctable pressure to standardize educational content. Targets, metrics, guidelines and curriculum models all induce conformity in instructional materials. Washington already is encouraging the alignment of the GED, SAT and ACT tests with the Common Core. By a feedback loop, these tests will beget more curriculum conformity. All of this will take a toll on parental empowerment, and none of this will escape the politicization of learning like that already rampant in higher education.
Leave aside the abundant, fierce, often learned and frequently convincing criticisms of the writing, literature and mathematics standards. Even satisfactory national standards must extinguish federalism's creativity: At any time, it is more likely there will be half a dozen innovative governors than one creative federal education bureaucracy. And the mistakes made by top-down federal reforms are continental mistakes.
The Obama administration has purchased states' obedience by partially conditioning waivers from onerous federal regulations (from No Child Left Behind) and receipt of federal largess ($4.35 billion in Race to the Top money from the 2009 stimulus) on the states' embrace of the Common Core. Although 45 states and the District of Columbia have struck this bargain, most with little debate, some are reconsidering and more will do so as opposition mounts.
Many proponents seem to deem it beneath their dignity to engage opponents' arguments, preferring to caricature opponents as political primitives and to dismiss them with flippancies such as this from Bill Gates: "It's ludicrous to think that multiplication in Alabama and multiplication in New York are really different." What is ludicrous is Common Core proponents disdaining concerns related to this fact: Fifty years of increasing Washington inputs into K-12 education has coincided with disappointing cognitive outputs from schools. Is it eccentric that it is imprudent to apply to K-12 education the federal touch that has given us HealthCare.gov?
The rise of opposition to the Common Core illustrates three healthy aspects of today's politics. First, new communication skills and technologies enable energized minorities to force new topics onto the political agenda. Second, this uprising of local communities against state capitals, the nation's capital and various muscular organizations (e.g., the Business Roundtable, the Chamber of Commerce, teachers unions, the Bill &Melinda Gates Foundation) demonstrates that although the public agenda is malleable, a sturdy portion of the public is not.
Third, political dishonesty has swift, radiating and condign consequences. Opposition to the Common Core is surging because Washington, hoping to mollify opponents, is saying, in effect: "If you like your local control of education, you can keep it. Period." To which a burgeoning movement is responding: "No. Period."

Oracle Issues Massive Security Patch For Java, Databases
Oracle's quarterly update includes 127 security patches, including fixes for remotely exploitable Java flaws.
Oracle on Tuesday released 127 security fixes for its products, including 51 patches for Java, as part of its quarterly critical patch update (CPU).
"Due to the threat posed by a successful attack, Oracle strongly recommends that customers apply CPU fixes as soon as possible," according to the distribution page for the fixes.
Vulnerabilities detailed in the security bulletin affect all versions of Java (versions 5, 6 and 7), as well as Oracle Database 11g and 12c, Fusion Middleware, Enterprise Manager, E-Business Suite, Flexcube Products Suite, Oracle's Health Sciences and Retail Products suites, Primavera, PeopleSoft, Siebel and MySQL.
While Oracle's critical patch update fixes only recent versions of many of those programs, the company said that older, unsupported versions may have the same bugs. "It is likely that earlier versions of affected releases are also affected by these vulnerabilities," Oracle said. "As a result, customers are recommended to upgrade to supported versions."
[ For more Oracle news, see Oracle OpenWorld: 5 Rants And Raves . ]
Which bugs should information security managers squash first? "All of these updates are important, but arguably Java is the most important of all of them," said Chester Wisniewski, a senior security advisor at Sophos Canada, in a blog post.
Indeed, of the 51 Java patches, 50 involve remotely exploitable vulnerabilities, and an equal number of flaws affect Java applets or Java WebStart, which allows Java apps to be run from the browser. Finally, 12 of the Java bugs score a "10" on the CVSSv2 vulnerability index, meaning they can be remotely exploited by an attacker to seize full control of a PC.
The Java vulnerabilities affect both client-side and server-side Java. "The majority of vulnerabilities are concentrated on the Java client side, i.e. in desktop/laptop deployments, with the most common attack vector being Web browsing and malicious Web pages," said Wolfgang Kandek, CTO of Qualys, in a blog post. "But there are two highly critical vulnerabilities that also apply to server installations -- CVE-2013-5782 and CVE-2013-5830."
Java 7 update 45 is now the latest version of the software. "You should update as quickly as possible on your desktop and laptop machines," said Kandek.
For people still using Java 6 -- or any prior version -- the security advice is to upgrade immediately, or else take steps to safeguard the machine, especially since related attacks will no doubt start soon. "Java 6 is also vulnerable to 11 of the 12 highly critical vulnerabilities, but there are no more public patches for Java 6," Kandek said. "The recommended action for Java 6 here is to upgrade to Java 7, if possible. If you cannot upgrade, I would recommend [that you] isolate the machine that needs Java 6 running and not use it for any other activities that connect it to the Internet, such as e-mail and browsing."
The Java 7 patches are good news for businesses and consumers that still rely on the Web browser plug-in, and Wisniewski at Sophos lauded Oracle's decision to patch all of its products -- including Java -- at the same time. "This is the first time Oracle is patching Java on the same quarterly cycle as other products, and perhaps the first time I have had something positive to say about Oracle security," he said.
On that note, however, he also argued that Oracle still has a long way to go to get its security house in order, despite the company having already delayed the release of Java 8 in April to dedicate more resources on improving Java 7 security.
"I heard that Oracle won the America's Cup recently which leads me to give them some unsolicited advice," said Wisniewski. "Put the award on the shelf in your lobby, sell the $10 million dollar boat and hire the engineers needed to update the Java patch cycle to monthly with the spare cash. Three-plus billion devices will thank you."
Oracle's next quarterly patch update is scheduled for January 14, 2014.

Mark Burstein, Princeton University's executive vice president, has been named the next president of Lawrence University in Appleton, Wis. Lawrence announced his appointment Dec. 13.
Burstein, who has led efforts to enhance campus life and strengthen University operations and infrastructure, will remain at Princeton through the academic year. On July 1, 2013, he will start as president of Lawrence University, a college of liberal arts and sciences with a music conservatory that serves 1,500 undergraduate students.
At Princeton since 2004, Burstein oversees the areas of audit and compliance, campus life, facilities, human resources, public safety and university services.
"It is with a mixture of great pride and immense sadness that I face the prospect that Mark Burstein will be leaving Princeton to become the 16th president of Lawrence University," Princeton President Shirley M. Tilghman said. "Mark has been an extraordinarily effective administrator for the past eight years, and a wonderful colleague. He led our ambitious campus master plan, and had a major role in every capital project we have undertaken, from Whitman College to the Lewis Center for the Arts."
"His leadership was critical for setting our sustainability goals, and for implementing the four-year college system. He has been a passionate spokesperson for the importance of diversity in higher education, and for improving the effectiveness of Princeton's administration. He will be greatly missed," Tilghman added.
Burstein will remain in his current position through the June meetings of the Princeton Board of Trustees, after which interim measures will be put in place to ensure continuing strong management of the responsibilities of his office while Princeton's president-elect conducts a search for his successor.
"We are very fortunate that all of Mark's direct reports and the colleagues in his office are exceedingly capable, which will allow the new president to think carefully about how best to fill this important position," said Tilghman, who announced in September her intention to step down as Princeton president at the end of this academic year.
As executive vice president, Burstein has been integral in the development of key University initiatives, including: the creation of a long-term campus master plan and real estate strategy; the development of a sustainability plan that integrates teaching and research with aggressive administrative targets for reducing the University's greenhouse gas emissions and conserving resources; the launch of the four-year residential college system with the Office of the Dean of the College; the development of priorities for Princeton's recently completed $1.88 billion Aspire fundraising campaign with the president, provost and Office of Development; the strengthening of the University's compliance and control program; and the implementation of staff diversity, wellness and childcare initiatives with colleagues across campus.
"The past eight-plus years have been such a professionally fulfilling experience working with wonderful colleagues, world-class faculty and some of the brightest students in the country," Burstein said. "I am looking forward to participating more directly in the undergraduate student experience as president of Lawrence University and I hope the considerable amount I have learned at Princeton will allow me to be successful in my new role."
Strengthening management, services
Burstein also has spent much of his time at Princeton involved in modernizing business operations and increasing efficiency across administrative and academic departments. He leads a number of University committees that assist such efforts, including the Committee to Strengthen University Management and Resources (SUMAR) and the Executive Compliance Committee.
Another area of focus during Burstein's tenure has been improvement of services to students, faculty and staff. Many of the University's central services have been rethought to make the campus a more hospitable and welcoming place. These efforts took a significant step forward last year with the realignment of the University Services division. Additional areas of improvement include human resources and benefits programs to better support managers and all employees.
"It has been especially gratifying to partner with colleagues across campus to make Princeton a great place to work through the various professional development and benefits programs the University offers," Burstein said.
This semester, Burstein is co-teaching a freshman seminar with University Architect Ron McCoy titled "The University: Patron of Architecture or Rapacious Developer."
Higher education, government experience
Before joining Princeton, Burstein worked for 10 years at Columbia University, serving at different points as vice president for facilities management, vice president for student services and acting vice president for human resources.
As vice president for facilities management, he led efforts to double the size of Columbia's main campus in New York City, oversaw completion of $1 billion of construction and implemented a master plan that revitalized the landscape of Columbia's 35-acre Morningside Heights campus.
Prior to that, he was director of economic development for the New York City Department of Sanitation, where he helped found the city's recycling program. Burstein said promoting sustainable practices — a leading initiative at Princeton — has been a personal passion since he worked as a farmer in Israel during a gap year between high school and college.
Burstein also worked as an associate in the Finance Division of Bear Stearns and as a consultant for the Center for Applied Research. He earned a master's in business administration from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and his bachelor's degree from Vassar College. He currently serves on the board of trustees of Vassar College, and recently served on the New York City Mayor's Applied Sciences Advisory Board and the nonpartisan, political action committee the Victory Fund.
"I went to a liberal arts college as an undergraduate and I feel in some ways I will be returning to my roots as president of Lawrence University," Burstein said. "One of the attractions of working in higher education is how transformative attending an institution like Lawrence, or Princeton, or Vassar can be in a student's life."

But that's the same sister-in-law who refers to her two dogs as my baby daughter's "cousins". She takes no notice of me cring(e)ing when she does so. Or maybe she gets a thrill from it. I don't want to think about it too much. I do think of this bit from The Xenophobe's Guide to the English (and similar bits from most of the other books about the English on my shelf):
For while [the English] are not always very good at talking to each other, they excel in conversation with their animals. Although they are not often successful in forming tactile bonds with their children, they continually chuck the chins of their lap dogs and whisper sweet nothings into their hairy ears. (p. 23)People who feel that animals are fine--outdoors, in the jungle, not bothering me--had better be quiet about it, since:
If our pet takes against someone, even if we have no reason at all to dislike the person, we trust the animal's superior insight and become wary and suspicious. People who object to being jumped on, climbed over, kicked, scratched and generally mauled by English animals who are 'just being friendly' also clearly have something wrong with them. (Watching the English, p. 236)On that note, we turn to the following correspondence from British reader Bill:
I used the expression "dog's breakfast" in a comment on an American blog, and the bloke said he'd never heard it before. The day before, I saw some Americans misunderstanding the British meaning of a dog's basket - apparently they'd have said "dog's bed". I understand that Americans are reluctant to use "bitch" in its literal meaning. Are we separated even in woofer-related matters?All of my brothers and my good friends in the US have dogs. They also have full-time gainful employment. Meanwhile, in the UK I know people who would love to have a dog, but who feel that it would be cruel to leave a dog at home while they go to work and can't understand people who do that. I think we are separated especially in woofer-related matters.
So, on to Bill's phrases, and some more. I was surprised to find that I'd not mentioned (BrE) dog's breakfast before, since it was one of the non-translating metaphors/costumes at my Metaphorty party, and I wrote about those back here. But it seems I left out my sister-in-law's costume. Being a petite person (like all of Better Half's family), she was able to cut arm holes into an economy-size dried dog food bag (Baker's Complete, I believe it was) and call herself 'the dog's breakfast'. Dog's breakfast means 'a mess'. [Postscript, 12 Sept 2011: Mark Liberman at Language Log points out that this is originally AmE! See the 3rd comment on this post of his for those details.]
This is not to be confused, The Phrase Finder tells us, with (BrE) the dog's dinner, meaning 'dressed or displayed in an ostentatiously smart manner':
And then there are (BrE) the dog's bollocks, with bollocks being informal BrE for 'testicles' (= balls). On its own, bollocks can be used as roughly equivalent to (AmE) bullshit--i.e. a load of (AmE) garbage/(BrE) rubbish. But when they're the dog's bollocks, it means "as good as it could be, the best of its kind, the Rolls-Royce of its type" (Jeremy Paxman, The English, p. 236). So, human testicles = rubbish, refuse; canine testicles = the best thing in the world. See what I mean about priorities?Why a dog's breakfast is synonymous with mess or muddle and dog's dinner with smartness isn't at all clear. It appears that the two phrases were coined entirely independently of each other.'Dog's dinner' is first cited in 'C. L. Anthony's play 'Touch Wood', 1934:"Why have you got those roses in your hair? You look like the dog's dinner."
Back to Bill's list, I'd not have thought of dog('s) basket as particularly BrE, but I searched for it on amazon.co.uk and amazon.com and found that the former shows dog beds (many, but not all, involving basket-y structures) and the American site shows baskets for carrying your pet on your bicycle--so perhaps there is a difference there. I'd have to use dog bed in AmE if there was no wicker involved, but I'd be happy to say basket if an actual basket was part of the structure.
And as far as bitch goes, I don't know anyone in either country who uses the word a lot in its literal meaning. Both of sis-in-law's dogs are female, but she refers to them as girls, not bitches. In my experience, bitch is used by those who breed dogs and those who hunt with them. And since I avoid both populations to the best of my ability (or at least avoid engaging them in animal talk), I haven't got a clear notion that Americans do use it less. On the contrary, bitch appears over 500 times on the American Kennel Club website, but only once on a document at Kennel Club UK and 16 times on the Crufts site--though since I don't know how those sites compare size-wise, it's not a very useful comparison.
Having revealed my lack of enthusiasm for dogs (at least as compared to people), I expect that I'll go down in many a reader's estimation. But they already liked dogs better than me, so I won't let it faze me. I've concentrated on the English here, with no claims about the rest of the British, but it should be noted that the Scottish have a famous monument to dog loyalty. Maybe that's just there to bring English tourists across the border, but I don't think so...

Acromioclavicular Separation (Separated Shoulder)
An "AC Separation" is commonly the result of a fall on the end of the shoulder. It results in pain, swelling, and often deformity in which it appears that the collar bone is "sticking up."
Treatment for a separated shoulder usually involves rest, ice, pain and anti-inflammatory medication, and physical therapy to restore motion. Rarely is surgery indicated. However, sometimes the ligaments that attach the collar bone to the shoulder blade are repaired.
Possible Treatments
- Active Assistive Range of Motion
- Cryotherapy or Cold Therapy
- Electrotherapeutic Modalities
- Isometric Exercise
- Proprioception Exercises
- Physical Agents
- Shoulder Active Range of Motion
- Shoulder Joint Mobilization
- Shoulder Passive Range of Motion
- Shoulder Resistive Range of Motion
- Soft Tissue Mobilization
- Stretching/Flexibility Exercise
Possible Treatment Goals
- Improve Function
- Optimize Joint Alignment
- Improve Muscle Strength and Power
