Unit of Observation: individual
Universe: The civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the United States aged 12 and older, including residents of noninstitutional group quarters, such as college dormitories, group homes, and civilians dwelling on military installations. Persons with no permanent address, such as homeless persons and those living in hotels, were also included in the survey.
Data were collected by Research Triangle Institute, Research Triangle Park, NC, and prepared for release by National Opinion Research Center, Chicago, IL.
For some drugs that have multiple names, questions regarding the use of that drug may be asked for each distinct name. For example, even though methamphetamine, methedrine and desoxyn are the same drug, their use was measured in three separate variables.
Sample: Multistage area probability sample design involving four selection stages: (a) primary areas (e.g., counties), (b) subareas within primary areas (blocks or block groups), (c) dwelling (listing) units (housing units or group quarters) within subareas, and (d) persons within dwelling (listing) units. A specially designed within-dwelling selection procedure was used to ensure desired sample sizes for subpopulations defined by age, smoking status, and race/ethnicity. Based on the strong association between reports of past-month cigarette smoking and recent drug use, a screening question was also introduced to collect past-month cigarette smoking status for all rostered persons within sampled dwellings. The three race/ethnicity classifications of dwelling unit heads were Hispanic, non-Hispanic Black (Black), and non-Hispanic non-Black (Whites and others). Six Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) of special interest were oversampled: Washington, DC, New York, Miami, Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles. These MSAs were oversampled in a way to allow separate estimation for low socioeconomic status (SES) urbanized areas and for all other areas of each MSA. Blacks, Hispanics, and youths aged 12-17 were also oversampled.
Weight: Data were weighted based on the four stages of sampling that were used. Adjustments were made to compensate for nonresponse and sampling error. Adjustments also included trimming sample weights to reduce excessive weight variation and a post-stratification to Census population estimates. The final weight variable to be used in analysis is ANALWT.
self-enumerated questionnaires (drug use), and personal interviews
Response Rates: A completed interview had to contain, at a minimum, data on the recency of use of marijuana, cocaine, and alcohol. The overall response rate was 79.2 percent. The response rates for the three race/ethnicity groups were: 85.2 percent for Hispanics, 82.9 percent for Blacks, and 75 percent for Whites and others.
Extent of Processing: ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:
- Performed consistency checks.
- Standardized missing values.
- Created online analysis version with question text.
- Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes.
Restrictions: Users are reminded by the United States Department of Health and Human Services that these data are to be used solely for statistical analysis and reporting of aggregated information and not for the investigation of specific individuals or treatment facilities.

The current cutting edge of battery power for mobile devices
is with lithium polymer batteries, thanks to flexibility in different packaging
shapes. The battery of tomorrow, however, may not only be lightweight, thin and
flexible, but may also appear to be a plain sheet of paper.
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute recently published finding of a new energy storage device made almost entirely of the same
cellulose found in ordinary paper. What sets this new device apart from the
everyday item is that the paper is infused with carbon nanotubes, which act as
Details of the paper battery are explained in the article "Flexible
Energy Storage Devices Based on Nanocomposite Paper" published August 13 in the
of the National Academy of Sciences.
"It's essentially a regular piece of paper, but it's made in
a very intelligent way," said the paper's co-author, Robert Linhardt. "We're
not putting pieces together – it's a single, integrated device. The components
are molecularly attached to each other: the carbon nanotube print is embedded
in the paper, and the electrolyte is soaked into the paper. The end result is a
device that looks, feels, and weighs the same as paper."
The battery's physical attributes make it an attractive
technology for mobile devices such as cell phone, or for weight-sensitive applications
such as aircraft. The battery may be shaped into different forms without
affecting efficiency, and sheets may be stacked to boost capacity.
As the battery's electrolyte, the researchers used a liquid
salt. As an alternative, the battery may also be activated by the electrolytes
found in human secretions and fluids, making the paper-thin battery a prime
candidate for being implantable inside the body.
"It's a way to power a small device such as a pacemaker
without introducing any harsh chemicals – such as the kind that are typically
found in batteries – into the body," noted co-author Victor Pushparaj.
As proof of their concept, the researchers have manufactured
a postage stamp-sized paper battery that can power a small fan or LED light.

to popular belief, playing video games is a not waste of time.
Video game players may actually be better thinkers than most. Video
games force gamers to be fast on their feet. Action-games in
particular encourage players to better use evidence drawn from their
senses in decision-making. According to Business
Week and WebMD a
new study in the Current
Biology journal
suggests that video game play helps gamers develop a skill known as
"probabilistic inference", which refers to how we process
the information we have when we need to make a snap decision.Video
game players absorb information quickly and make sound snap
decisions, the research indicates."They are making more
efficient use of the information that is out there," said C.
Shawn Green, postdoctoral associate at the Kersten Computational
Vision Lab at the University of Minnesota and lead author of the
study. "Video game players pull more
information from the sensory world, related to the decisions facing
them."The research suggests that this skill only applied
to action games, specifically "shooter
games" like Halo.
Strategy and role-playing games, did not have the same impact."The
games are teaching them to learn how to learn, to learn how to solve
new tasks rapidly," Green said.The researchers tested
two groups for a total of 50 hours. One group spent 50 hours
playing a strategy game while the other group played a shooter game.
The subjects who played action video games were faster, yet just as
accurate as the subjects who played strategy or role-playing games
for the same duration of time.Green said these video games
are teaching people to become better at taking sensory data in, and
translating it into correct decisions. "There is
always some uncertainty about what is going on. Our eyes don't take
in everything and our ears don't either, so you take the sensory data
that you have, and make a decision based on the probability of being
right," said Green.According to Ian Spence, PhD, a
professor of psychology at the University of Toronto, the new
findings are consistent with previous studies. "Perceptual
functions are the various brain functions involved in seeing,
hearing, smelling," stated Spence.Spence added that in
the future, researchers may be able to offer guidelines for game
design that would retain the perceptual training features
of first-person
shooter games, without the violence that discourages some people
from playing them.The study suggests real-world applications
for this research in the future. The U.S. armed forces
has used
video games for military
training in the past.

This is pretty depressing
This is pretty depressing
JV has played 11:42 so far, I'm guessing he won't play 2nd half to make up for how much time he played, judging from previous matches?
Man, and they're back out shooting before Tunisia...That's a short locker room chat when you're getting killed by one of the worst teams in the tournament
What?!?! JV sitting to start the half?
kavaliauskas is starting my mistake
How was that Tunisia ball? Did they call that a foul (I have no commentary)?
he thinks he's making an adjustment when really it's a maladjustment....
feels like LTU team partied all night
how can a team play even with USA and then have troubles beating Tunisia? makes no sense
man i love Songaila and Jasaitis
We're not gonna see Val again, are we?

Season Pass Conditions of Use
Season Pass Terms and Conditions of Use
All season pass products are non-refundable/non-transferable/not for resale. Pass holders must either present their pass or purchase a ticket to gain access to the lifts. We do not offer refunds for less-than-perfect conditions or missed opening/closing dates.
In the case of a major injury or illness which is documented by a licensed physician, Powderhorn Ski Company LLC will transfer a pro-rated sum to next year's season pass purchase ONLY for medical reasons which would prevent the pass holder from skiing/snowboarding for the remainder of the season. Medical defferals must be accompanied by a written medical diagnosis signed by the attending physician. Only season pass credit requests received from the person(s) that placed the original order shall be considered. Valid credits by Powderhorn Ski Company LLC will be issued to that guest(s) customer account in the form of transfer value. The amount deferred will be prorated based on the date of request, less a $50 processing fee. The Season Pass product and the signed medical document(s) must be returned with any credit request.
Season passes will be used ONLY by the person assigned to the pass. Passes are non-transferrable and cannot be resold to another person. Use by anyone other than the assigned pass holder constitutes fraud and will result in revocation of the pass and privileges WITHOUT refund and may result in fines up to $1,500. Loss or theft of season pass must be reported to Powder office immediately. Failure to bring the season pass to the ski area may result in the purchase of a daily lift ticket. The cost of a lost, stolen, forgotten or broken pass is $10.
Saftey and Courtesy
We want all our guests to have a pleasant and enjoyable experience. To ensure that, we have some requests:
Please conduct yourself under the "Responsibility Code". Play in a safe and courteous manner, completely in control.
Follow the flow of traffic in determining how fast to ski or board.
Lift lines are not the place to push or shove or cut in.
No inappropriate language. We want our guests and staff to be respected.
We have some absolute requirements:
Majuana and other drugs are not allowed at Powderhorn Mountain Resort. Excessive use of alcohol doesn't work with our sports so know your limit and drink resoponsibly. Remember the penalties as defined above.
Our facilities and equipment are there for all to enjoy. Please don't deface or destroy them.
We prosecute thieves.
Physical abuse of others will not be allowed.
Jumping from lifts will result in your pass being revoked.
Powderhorn management has the authority and responsibility to pull passes and evict guests who violate these absolutes. We don't enjoy doing it, but must sometimes do so to maintain the character of our company.

There has always been, what seemed at the time, logical explanations for the poor play. All those excuses are now gone and there remains only 3 constants: Bargnani, Calderon, and *Colangelo*.
Casey really made a push last season to make a change in the franchise. It would appear to me, barring some unknown head trauma, that he has been told to go in a different direction. How else can one explain the absolute collapse on defense?
Basically all that was going well with the franchise has been undone in just a couple of months.
In my opinion there was always noticeable progress (even in losing) the last few years. Now what we have is a team that might contend for a playoff spot at best.
It is time to make changes. The excuses have run out. Too many players and coaches to delude oneself in to thinking otherwise.
I definitely agree it is sad. As many have experienced first hand, I usually always try to find a positive angle. I can't right now.

memtester is a user-space utility for testing the memory subsystem in a computer to determine if it is faulty. It does a good job of finding intermittent faults and non-deterministic faults. It has many tests to help catch borderline memory. memtester should compile and run on any 32- or 64-bit Unix or Unix-like system.
ProcMeter3 is a program for monitoring the system status and other information and displaying it in a series of graphs or as text. Most of the information comes from the /proc filesystem (cpu usage, load average , processes information, memory usage, network traffic, interrupts etc.). Other information is available for other sources (date, time, email status, log file length, disk status etc.). The program is modular and highly configurable.
The main purpose of LoFiMo is, as the name states, to monitor log files. It does this in real time, i.e. shows the contents of log files as they are changing. The user can connect to LoFiMo with a Web browser or use the console for plain text output. When using a Web browser, the output can be formatted with cascading stylesheets, which the user can define. Thus, it is possible to highlight certain log entries with different colors and fonts. It is also possible to play sounds or execute commands (send an email, play sound with a custom player, etc.) when a log entry matches a filter. LoFiMo can parse Apache style log files and syslog style log files. Among others, there are filters that can parse iptables logs and merge multiple log lines of Postfix into a single one.
Sysload SP Analyst offers powerful means to control and analyze server performance. It provides real-time, continuous, fine-grained resource monitoring across Windows, Solaris, AIX, HP/UX, Linux, I-series, Citrix, Netware, and virtual machines (VMware Vi, IBM LPARs, Solaris X, I5 OS LPARs). It also provides incident and failure risk prediction and immediate analysis of the root cause of problems, allowing you to pinpoint the application(s) or user(s) responsible for server load increases.
SystemRescueCd is a Linux system available from a bootable CDROM that provides an easy way to perform administrative tasks on your computer, such as creating and editing the partitions of the hard disk or backing up data. It contains a lot of system utilities (such as parted, partimage, and fstools), and basic programs (such as editors, midnight commander, and network tools). It also includes GParted, a Partition Magic clone that makes editing partitions easy with its graphical user interface. This CDROM aims to be very easy to use and accessible to everybody, and it also provides advanced personalization features.
INSERT (the Inside Security Rescue Toolkit) aims to be a multi-functional, multi-purpose disaster recovery and network analysis system. It boots from a credit card-sized CD-ROM and is basically a stripped-down version of Knoppix. It features good hardware detection, fluxbox, emelfm, links-hacked, ssh, tcpdump, nmap, chntpwd, and much more. It provides full read-write support for NTFS partitions (using ntfs-3g), and the ClamAV virus scanner (including a fairly recent signature database and a GUI). It provides partition handling with gParted and also has a network boot facility.
Ultimate Boot CD is a collection of Freeware and Free Software tools for PC diagnostics and maintenance. Included are tools for BIOS editing, CPU and memory testing, boot management, data recovery, peripheral and system inventory, and hard drive partitioning, cloning, wiping, diagnostics, and low-level editing. All tools boot and run from the CD.

Women to Watch: EVP Clobes Gets Her Thrills From Finding Solutions
April Clobes, executive vice president/chief operating officer at Michigan State University Federal Credit Union, has never set out to make the seemingly impossible possible. She's just relentless when it comes to finding solutions.
"If you don't enjoy coming to work everyday then you need to be doing something else," said Clobes, of her personal philosophy.
That has helped the latest Credit Union Times Woman to Watch recipient make the most of the opportunities at the East Lansing, Mich.-based $2.3 billion credit union. Since joining the MSUFCU team in 1996 as a marketing specialist, she headed up a newly formed e-commerce department in 2001, which grew into two separate e-commerce and e-services departments encompassing a variety of internal and external electronic platforms. She then took on the additional role of vice president of marketing in 2009, executive vice president in 2010, and was promoted to her current role in 2011.
"When I was 20, I had no idea or plans to be doing what I'm doing," said Clobes. "I had a background in marketing, advertising and loved being creative. The turning point for me has been how what we do truly helps people. We make all our decisions based on whether it's right for the member or the staff. So I get to be creative as a part of an organization that tries to find solutions to common challenges in our daily lives."
With a strong work ethic developed at an early age, she added that she gets a thrill from finding a way to improve anything from processes to services.
"I always say yes," joked Clobes. "There is always a way, it's just a matter of figuring it out then getting things done. Innovation is not just doing the latest and greatest thing. It has to make sense so it can be just trying to improve upon something existing."
For example, MSU FCU expanded its electronic services with a mobile app and an updated mobile website created in-house. Using the new app, members can do everything from account transactions and depositing checks via e-deposit for mobile to finding ATMs, current rates and connecting with MSUFCU staffers.
"A mobile app and a mobile-optimized website isn't exactly new, but we did it based on features our members wanted and needed so that's what makes it innovative," said Clobes. "We are always striving to find new ways to better serve our members. We really believe that what we're doing makes a world of difference in people's lives and are confident in what we can accomplish. At the end of the day, we are not operating on people and no one is dying, so why not try to fix something and give it a whirl."
That doesn't mean change isn't scary. But ultimately, for Clobes, it boils down to believing and trusting in your staff to do their jobs well. The result at MSU FCU has helped foster an environment where sharing ideas and implementing change are encouraged. As a leader she is always on the watch for entropy, which she views as the greatest threat to an organization.
"We strive to create a great work environment, but if you don't care or are no longer passionate about what you're doing, then it's not a right fit and it can deteriorate the experience for others on the team," said Clobes.
She added that an effective leader is essentially a mentor, whose ultimate goal is to guide and help others to be the best they can be.
"I love working with the staff, providing them with the resources, personal mentorship, and opportunities to achieve their personal and professional goals. It's about helping everyone succeed as well. It's rewarding to see how it makes for a happier, more engaged staff. I do expect a lot out of people because I know they can do it. What I've found when you're thinking about how can you make the most of all the skills and talent of your staff, they will do their best to exceed those high expectations."
That compassion and caring for others has been the cornerstone of her leadership style.
"Everyday is a job interview," said Clobes. "Sometimes when you've been with an organization for a while you get comfortable, stop caring and just do the job. The same way when you first start you give 150% to get noticed, that has to be sustained every day if you want to be a part of the next big opportunity or project. So the same people you've been working alongside, in the future one of your peers could be your boss or heading a new project. What have they observed or what's their experience been with you? People talk so make every moment spent count. Paperwork can wait, people matter so be respectful and do your best everyday."
A nurturer of talent, Clobes' willingness to share knowledge, advice and resources with anyone who's interested, has extended beyond the walls of MSU FCU to include other credit unions and organizations throughout the community. With an ever growing and changing competitive landscape credit unions can't afford to rest. At MSU FCU a competition committee was created a few years ago to evaluate, research, report and help the credit union be aware of the competitive shifts.
"I think in terms of relevance, we as an industry haven't told our story enough as to why we are different and the better alternative," said Clobes. "One of the biggest myths out there besides consumers thinking they can't join a credit union, is that credit unions aren't good corporate citizens because they don't pay taxes. That's why it's so important to share our story and have consumers understand our philanthropy in the communities we serve, the financial education we provide, how much money we can save them, all the good we do simply because it's how we are structured. We have to keep innovating and thinking of ways to improve. Do we want to be Blackberry or Apple? We have to worry about and be aware of change, if we don't, then we fall down because our members will go somewhere else."

About Shannon Acheson
I'm Shannon and I'm super glad you're here! I'm an interior designer and I LOVE design and decorating. You and I both have to cook for our families, clean and organize our homes, manage our money and live life too, right? So how about we do it together?


text: And that's why we're all keyboard warriors and not GM's. Seriously let's send him away or subject him to ignorant preconceptions before we even see what we have? Thankfully I guarantee Kleiza will have his opportunity to either impress or disappoint predicated on his own performance. If he's better than Butler/Johnson great we have options, if he isn't then great we have other options.

Who said we lost the trade?
My issue with the trade was never whether we won the trade....we clearly did if you look at the talent on paper in the deal. Rather it's if we need to add a piece to take another step to truly contending, will we really be able to? We'll see...
Wow that's shocking. Calderon with 0 assist so far...
It has looked like the Pistons have had butterfingers a lot tonight
Do you think that Detroit plans to play Calderon as mostly a SG for the rest of the season along side Knight? It's been a little more than 24 mins and he's already taken 10 shots which is already more than is average FGA. I think Calderon can really show how well he can actually shoot in Detroit when he's asked to shoot more and pass less.
Also, as a guy who preferred Kemba over Knight big time, I think Detroit made the wrong choice.
calderon is leading scorer for Detroit with 15pts, and now has 3 assists
He's just such a solid player. I agree it's time to move on, but he should have no problem finding a decent situation in the offseason.
jose's debut:
7-12 shooting, 15pts, 1 reb, 3 assists, 0 turnovers, leading scorer. Good job and good luck.
I still support the trade. Just happy for Jose. He will finally start getting some recognition.

Seagate Technology has begun
shipments of its first ever 3.5-inch drives utilizing the
Perpendicular Magnetic Recording method. Seagate's announcement came earlier today with the
of the Cheetah 15K.5 enterprise class hard drives which feature a
15,000RPM spindle speed and capacities of 73GB, 146GB and
300GB.The platter density has been doubled
compared to the 15K.4 line of drives effectively reducing the number
of platters and heads by 50%. The 300GB model will feature a
4-platter design using 8 heads, the 146GB model will use 2 platters
with 4 heads and the 73GB drive will utilize a single platter with 2
heads. All three models will come in Fibre-Channel, Ultra320 SCSI, and Serial
Attached Storage interfaces at 400MB/sec, 320MB/sec, and 300MB/sec respectively.
They will feature a low 2ms latency and a 3.5ms average seek time
which matches the older 15K.4 line.What has changed is the
performance with a great increase in transfer rates over the 15K.4
line. The sustained transfer rates have increased an average of
15-29MB/sec across all models with the help of the perpendicular
nature of the bits as well as the increased 16MB drive
buffers.Power consumption has also dropped by up to 2 watts
in some models; mainly the Serial Attached Storage versions of the
Cheetah 15K.5.The Cheetah 15K.5 has begun shipping to OEM customers, according to the press release, and is expected to distribution channels later this quarter. Seagate first introduced Perpendicular Magnetic
Recording in its Momentus
5400.3 series of notebook drives in mid-January which brought
160GB of capacity in a 2.5-inch form factor. Speaking with our
contact at Seagate, they had mentioned that we should see desktop
drives utilizing the PMR method hit the market by this summer.

Comment Letters Suggest a $50 Million Threshold for Small Credit Unions
Comment letters regarding the NCUA's proposed rule to increase the maximum threshold for a small credit union to $30 million in assets, from the current limit of $10 million, reveal that many think $50 million is a more reasonable figure.
The comment period, which the NCUA extended from Oct. 25, closed Monday.
NAFCU Regulatory Affairs Counsel Tessema Tefferi is among that group, saying at the very least, the NCUA should increase the threshold to $50 million because it would be close to that established by the CFPB for exemption from mortgage reporting requirements.
However, Tefferi said NAFCU would prefer the NCUA use the CFPB and SBA's small entity threshold of $175 million in assets, which would facilitate even more government agency consistency.
CUNA Deputy General Counsel Mary Dunn agreed, saying her trade association would also prefer a threshold of $175 million for regulatory relief which would match the SBA, or even an increase to $500 million as the SBA has proposed.
However, Dunn said regulatory relief thresholds should be separated from those used for agency assistance; CUNA recommends what it said is a more reasonable threshold increase for assistance to $50 million in assets. Gregg Stockdale, president of the $35 million 1st Valley Credit Union of San Bernardino, Calif., also said while $30 million is a step in the right direction, $50 million would be more appropriate.
"Every CEO of a smaller credit union that I know is looking to become at least $50 million in assets in order to have some amount of scale," said the leader of the 3,600-member institution.
The proposed limit of $30 million would affect more than 1,600 credit unions, granting them eligibility for regulatory relief and assistance from the NCUA's Office of Small Credit Union Initiatives.
OSCUI Director Bill Myers told the NCUA Board in September when the rule was introduced that the proposal would swell the number of credit unions served by the office by 66%. Myers said he would reorganize the office to improve efficiency to meet that increased demand.
Even though Stockdale said small credit unions require relief from excessive regulation and oversight to survive, he added they should not be exempt from risk-based net worth requirements.
"That would open the door to too much speculative risk-taking and future losses," he said.
Henry Wirz, president/CEO of the $1.9 billion SAFE Credit Union in the Sacramento, Calif., area, warned in his comment letter against "any policy which creates a two-tier regulatory system."
While the Regulatory Flexibility Act allows the NCUA to consider the impact new regulations have upon small institutions, Wirz said all federally insured credit unions should be held to the same safety and soundness standards.
The failure table presented by the NCUA with the proposed rule, which shows a greater amount of risk in large institutions, is very misleading, Wirz said.
"Large numbers of failed credit unions are merged and therefore are never acknowledged in the statistics," he said in the comment letter.
If the NCUA widened its failure definition to include credit unions that merge with CAMEL ratings of 3, 4 or 5, the number of credit unions with fewer than $100 million in assets would increase dramatically, and "point to the danger of lessening standards for smaller credit unions," Wirz said.

I was going to respond to his post and thought why waste my time educating him with the facts and say things I shouldn't. Thanks Matt for summarizing and taking the time to respond in how I was too lazy to, and probably smart to leave out the things I shouldn't say.This is a fatal does of why-should-I-bother-to-keep-trying?
Effective role players: Kleiza, JJ, Amir, Gray. By the way, when I say effective role players, I am referring to bench players. Kleiza, JJ, Amir, and Gray is a very effective bench in my opinion.
Casey might not be genius but Dirk says they wouldn't have won without him and he did set up a system to shut down Wade AND LeBron. If that is not genius then it is at the very least extremely intelligent.
Valanciunas is as unproven as any draft pick. Considering in two games against AK47 and Kristic he put up 11.5 points and 8.5 rebounds as a 19 year old, I think his chances fair very well for success at the NBA level.
The Raptors, known as the worst defensive team in the league the last 2 seasons, have evolved in to an average defensive team with predominantly the same players. The Raps are 14th in Opp/PPG and 18th in defensive rating. Regardless of whether or not Bargnani is a great defensive player as that is a discussion for another thread, the team has played better defense with him on the court than off and his opp/PER in 13 games this season is a very impressive 10.5. This, of course, forgets he was 5th in scoring in the entire league in the games he played.
As for Nash's presence not making the defense any better, how so? Phoenix is a much better defensive team with Nash on the floor than off (103.5 points per 100 possessions on versus 110.3 off). His individual opponents PER is 13.3 which is very impressive considering Rondo's is 11.8, Paul's is 15.2, and Calderon's is 17.5 (all stats from 82games.com). Nash is not a stellar defender by any stretch but he is no worse than Calderon - and possibly better.
How is it so the Raptors need three max players? How is that working out in New York? Memphis? Of course there are examples of it working out as well, Miami for example, however there is no guarantee is my only point.
$20M is not enough? That depends on what you do with it. If you are talking strictly free agency, I agree. However salary cap space is for much more than free agency - trades?
Another DeRozan or Davis isn't going to change the team's fortunes - now that is something I can agree with.
Considering Colangelo has taken two different teams and had a 20-plus win differential from one season to the next, I am going to take him at his word when he says they will hit the ground running next season (but I am also a BC-fanboy). I appreciate the negativity and understand its root but given the amount of flexibility the team has over the next 5 months, I don't think it can be argued strongly for or against what the next 2 years hold. However blanket negative statements with nothing behind them but negative opinions is hardly grounds for a doom and gloom prophecy with any merit.

Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies (CJ-DATS): Restructuring Risky Relationships-HIV (RRR-HIV), 2005-2008 [United States] (ICPSR 30842)
Principal Investigator(s): Leukefeld, Carl, University of Kentucky. Center on Drug and Alcohol Research
In recent years, women have had a growing presence in the prison system, largely for drug-related offenses. Few interventions are geared towards reentering female offenders, for whom HIV and drug use are intimately tied to risky relationships and thinking errors surrounding criminal activity and risky behavior. This study aimed to develop a manual-driven intervention for the criminal justice system geared towards female drug abusers, specifically reducing HIV risk behavior. Using focus groups to develop the manual, interventionists were then trained and supervised. The intervention focused on reducing risky behavior through cognitive restructuring and the relationship model. The intervention takes place through a two-group design, one with three community reentry sessions, the other without reentry sessions. Outcomes of the study were to develop a manual for women reentering society, to contribute to the literature on the unique factors affecting women and risky behavior, to expand on the existing knowledge of the issues faced by reentering women, and to offer information about the connection between community-based reentry resources and the criminal justice system.

Scope of Study
Subject Terms: abuse, behavior modification, cognitive processes, drug offenders, HIV, intervention strategies, prisoner reentry, sexual behavior, treatment compliance, women
Geographic Coverage: Connecticut, Delaware, Kentucky, Rhode Island, United States
- 2005--2008
Unit of Observation: individual
Study Purpose: This study is intended to develop a manual-driven intervention for reentering female drug-users, and to test the effectiveness of cognitive restructuring in reducing risky behavior.
Study Design: A draft intervention manual was developed and pilot tested on a small focus group. Revisions were then made to the manual. Next, interventionists were trained. The intervention was issued in three phases to one group, while another group was not issued the treatment as a control. The three community reentry sessions were administered followed by survey collections at the baseline, after one month, and after three months. Finally, the data collected was used to evaluate and improve the manualized intervention.
Sample: For this study 150 incarcerated women, community women, prison treatment providers, community treatment providers, and community correctional supervisors participated in the focus groups that developed the manual, and 120 female prisoners were recruited to participate in evaluating the intervention, 80 in the experimental group, 40 in the control.
Mode of Data Collection: face-to-face interview
Description of Variables: The variables for the study examine risky sexual behaviors and risky drug abuse behaviors (NIDA RBA), as well as demographic characteristics and self-reports of outcomes.
Extent of Processing: ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:
- Created variable labels and/or value labels.
- Standardized missing values.
- Created online analysis version with question text.
- Performed recodes and/or calculated derived variables.

So the saga continues ^ mannn Tim & Sid are pulling some remarkable quotes out of VC and Sam Mitchell about what ACTUALLY went down the year VC got traded. According to Mitchell, Rob Babcock traded VC even though there was room for reconciliation. Carter went as far as telling Mitchell, "I want to stay here, I see what you're building, and I like it." THE DAY BEFORE HE WAS TRADED!!! Mitchell says "I told Rob Babcok, but he said he had a deal on the table... (in retrospect) I should have went straight to Larry Tanenbaum and I should have implored Vince to speak with Larry Tanenbaum as well..."
Mitchell: "I just think what happened with Vince, like a lot of guys, his feelings got hurt... and I think at the end of the day, if we could have got in a room, and apologies would have been extended to Vince, I think all of this, we could have got past."
Are you FREAKING kidding me ROB friggen Babcock! How is story just being told NOW?!!!!
Mitchell (on what would have happened if he wasn't traded): "Think about this... with Chris Bosh turning into what he turned into, Vince Carter still at the top of his game, we add another piece or two, we could have still been playing. Think about how good we would have been, we would have had one of the best power forwards, one of the best 2-guards, so we would have had two legit-superstars on our team. We may not have won a championship, but we might, could have got to a Finals."
Wow. Man, every Raptors fan should listen to this interview. Such crazy mismanagement by Rob Babcock. Even if Vince had half a foot out the door, something could have been done to fix things if it was handled right. Mitchell definitely believes that.
CONFIRMATION FROM ROB BABCOCK ^ regarding Mitchell's statements.

Colorectal adenomas are precancerous polyps that occur in the lower digestive tract. Various kinds of evidence indicate use of calcium supplements can help prevent colon polyps and also reduce colon cancer risk.
An article published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute in 2007 adds weight to this hypothesis. A total of 930 people with a history of a previous colon polyp were given either placebo or calcium carbonate (three grams daily) for four years. At the end of the four-year trial period, people given calcium showed a significantly lower rate of polyp recurrence compared to those given placebo. Treatment was then stopped, but researchers continued to follow the participants. Remarkably, the protective effect of calcium was maintained for as long as five years after the end of the active part of the study. Even if people did not continue to take calcium supplements, they remained relatively less likely to develop polyps simply on the basis of having had taken it.
There are two caveats, however. First, this dose of calcium supplementation is very high, and should not be undertaken without a doctor's supervision. Furthermore, there is weak but still potentially worrisome evidence that, when taken by men, calcium supplements may raise risk of cancer of the prostate.

Apple processors: Designed differently but here to stay
31 comments
Rumors of an iPhone 5s and iPad 5 are already circulating. Nothing too intense yet but they are there. When these two devices do land they will likely sport an A7 and A7X, respectively. That is, unless Apple pulls the plug on its custom chip design and opts for an off-the-shelf Intel product. This is not our hypothesis but it is out there, even on Wall Street.
At the end of November Doug Freedman, an RBC Capital Market analyst, floated the hypothesis that Intel would fab Apple processors if Apple moved the iPad to an Intel processor. It almost suggests the Apple-designed application processors (APs) are somehow a stopgap until something better appears. This seems like the perfect backdrop to look at the A-series family, think about the evolution therein, and weigh the evidence for Apples semiconductor design intentions.
Before we get too far ahead of ourselves lets consider the A6 and A6X. The debut of the A6 along with the iPhone 5 was pretty much expected from both the hyperactive Apple rumor mill and the simple logic of refreshing the AP in sync with the iPhone.
However, the appearance of the A6X, some 41 days later inside the iPad 4 was very much unexpected. It was a little more than half way into the usual annual iPad refresh cycle and there was only a vague, late warning from the Apple pundits.
Die photographs of the A6 and A6X that were first published by Chipworks, with our added annotations, are reproduced below. Probably the single most striking feature of both is the in-house designed CPU. Going further, it was a custom design where the layout was performed manually, instead of using the common automated place and route approach. In their discussion of the A6 ChipWorks commented: "This is a more expensive and time-consuming method of layout. However it usually results in a faster maximum clock rate, and sometimes results in higher density." They go on to say: "In fact, with the exception of Intel CPUs, it's one of the first custom laid out digital cores weve seen in years!"
There isn't much to add except to say that Apple is serious about and making considerable investment in their design capabilities. So, regardless of the reason for the custom design, this clearly supports the hypothesis that Apple is not producing placeholders while it waits for an Intel processor.

What's the Best Traveling Toolkit?
136 comments post a comment
When one is traveling, it can be really handy to have a small toolkit on hand, but which kit is the best?
A few years ago at a family Christmas party, I won a pocket knife as part of a "Dirty Santa" game. This little scamp was a Buck 730 X-Tract. In addition to an incredibly strong and sharp blade, this little beauty also included two screwdrivers, a small set of pliers, and a doohickey for extracting boy scouts out of horses' hoofs (you can also use this doohickey for opening bottles and cans). Of particular interest was the fact that all of the blades and tools locked into position and everything could be controlled using only one hand.
Ever since that party, my knife and I were inseparable. I can honestly say that I used to use it multiple times each and every day. The reason I'm talking about this little rascal in the past tense is that we have been torn asunder. Last week I was at the lake with my wife and son and some friends who own a couple of Sea-Doos.
While the kids were playing around on one of the Sea-Doos towing an inner tube, a rope got tangled up in the engine. My son, who was in the water trying to sort things out, asked to borrow my knife. After cutting the rope, he dropped my knife into what he believed to be a cup holder on the side of the floating dock. Sad to relate, it wasn't a cup holder -- it was a hole that went straight through the dock. My knife is now at the bottom of the lake in about 30 feet of water. I was not wearing my happy face.
I was even more disgruntled when I returned home and started looking on the web and discovered that Buck no longer manufactures its 730 X-Tract knife. Fortunately, I found this vendor on eBay, and I now have a replacement knife winging its way to me as we speak.
In the meantime, I really miss my knife. Every time a package arrives, I reach for my belt to whip it out, only to realize it's no longer there. Earlier today, I wanted to take an analog meter apart and I needed a screwdriver, so I reached for my knife... and a little tear rolled down my cheek.
Having said all this, we should also acknowledge that the tools on my knife are somewhat limited. Of course, I have numerous other tools here in my office and at home, but this started me thinking about the times I've needed access to tools while I've been "on the road." In turn, this reminded me that I'll be heading out to speak at ESC Brazil in a couple of weeks (see also ESC Brazil 2014: Here I Come! and Just What Is an Embedded System?).
The more I think about this, the more I realize that it would be really handy to have a small toolkit for when I'm traveling, but which one would be best? I'm thinking of something unobtrusive enough to carry around in my backpack and that I could slip into a pocket in my cargo shorts if I so desired. I dont really want one with things like soldering irons and suchlike, but I do want one that would help me take things to bits (and maybe even put them back together again).
I just had a quick Google while no one was looking. The most interesting one I've found so far is the iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit. This comes in a sleek grey tool roll that would easily fit in one's pocket. As it says in the blurb: "Designed by the gadget fanatics at iFixit.com, the Pro Tech Toolkit will have you fixing devices that are not even broken, just to use the cool tools."
And speaking of tools, this kit does include some interesting ones, including an ESD tweezer set, an anti-static strap, a tool for prying open the trickiest enclosures scratch-free, and even a small suction cup for lifting front panels off of things like phones and media players. On the other hand, it doesnt include pliers or wire snips, both of which would be jolly useful.
Of course, I could purchase a bunch of tools individually, but then I'd have to think about things and I'm a bit short of time. (If I were to go this route, which tools would you suggest as a minimum set?) The alternative is to simply purchase a kit off-the-shelf, but which one would be best? Should I go with the iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit, or is there another kit out there that will satisfy my every desire? As usual, any suggestions would be very gratefully received.

This study is maintained and distributed by the National Archive of Computerized Data on Aging (NACDA), the aging program within ICPSR. NACDA is sponsored by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) at the National Institutes of Heath (NIH).
Longitudinal Study of Aging Danish Twins, 1995 (ICPSR 21041)
Principal Investigator(s): Christensen, Kaare, University of Southern Denmark. Institute of Public Health; Vaupel, James W., Duke University
The focus of the "Longitudinal Study of Aging Danish Twins (LSADT)" has been on elucidating the causes of variation in survival, health, diseases, loss of abilities, and cognitive functions among the elderly and oldest-old. The LSADT was conducted every two years between 1995 and 2005 and consists of six waves. The study comprises interviews of elderly Danish twins aged 75 years and older (later 70 years and older). At each interview wave, the interview assessment has been based on the interview used in the previous waves, which covers health, physical functioning, cognitive functioning, depression symptomatology, social factors, lifestyle characteristics, and quality of life. The self-report interview assessments have been supplemented with objective indicators of physical strength and agility, behavioral speed, and pulmonary peak-flow. Biological material was also collected from the participants for future DNA analysis.

Shafer Vineyards practice organic and sustainable harvesting. They are also Napa's first 100% solar powered winery.
Organic Style and Wine Spectator liked their Firebreak 2001 offering. Donna Binder, co-owner of Counter, a hot Manhattan vegertarian restaurant and wine bar, says it is "A real crowd-pleaser, Firebreak has aromas of spicy black pepper, black currant and dark plum that pair well with rich tomato-based Italian dishes. It retails for $35 a bottle.
Shafer returns the grape pomace (by-product of the winemaking process) to the vineyards as a natural fertilizer. Recycling the grape pomace in the fields adds to the ecological efficiency of winemaking. Spread across the vineyards in the fall, it increases the organic and humus content of the soil, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers. Essential nutrients are released into the soil gradually.
In contrast, commercial fertilizers tend to shock the vines with a heavy dose that cannot be readily absorbed. The application of grape pomace also invigorates the soil microbe population, which is vital to cover crop degradation.

Sato, the governor of Japan's tsunami-stricken Fukushima province, vowed this
week that the damaged
Fukushima Daiichi (Fukushima I) nuclear power plant would not be
allowed to restart. Meanwhile the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) (9501) is
facing serious questions and financial liability, for its role in only the
second major nuclear power mishap in history.
I. How Did We Get Here?
Few energy sources have as high a power density as nuclear plants. Yet
the public is very fearful of new, safer nuclear
designs, while the U.S., Japan, and other nations have fought to slow new
reactor deployments. The net result is that legacy plants' lifespans are
being extended well past their original timelines.
To make matters worse, utilities operating Japan's 30+ year old Fukushima
nuclear plants failed
to water-proof backup generators despite the plants being in a region
prone to tsunami and monsoon flooding.
The combination of the lengthened deployment plus negligent engineering and/or management decisions proved a
dangerous one.
While most modern nuclear designs are incapable of melting down, the Fukushima
plants were ancient designs very capable of doing so. They escaped
the earthquake itself unscathed, but were unable to cool the rods after the
reactions were stopped.
As a result, some of the reactor cores are suspected of at least partially
having melted, releasing radioactive caesium and iodine into the local air,
soil, and water.
II. Harsh Words for TEPCO
Fukushima's governor is not responding kindly to TEPCO's blatant negligence.
He held a 15-minute meeting with TEPCO president Masataka Shimizu, stating,
"A resumption of plant operations must be impossible."
Mr. Shimizu profusely apologized for his company mistakes and promised to
resign from his position when the time was appropriate. It is traditional
in Japanese culture to abdicate a leadership position or engage in even more
extreme gestures of repentance, when you are dishonored.
The TEPCO chief had tried to meet with Gov. Sato twice before, but was
rebuffed. At the time the governor commented, "The anger and fear of
people in this prefecture have reached the limit."
Gov. Sato accepted the apologize, conditionally, demanding that Mr. Shimizu fully
compensate local farmers and fishermen whose crops and catches were forced
to be destroyed due to radioactivity contamination.
He also demanded that TEPCO repay manufacturers who lost money due to the
evacuation of the 20-mile radius surrounding the plant and to tourism
businesses who have seen a massive drop in foreign visitors since the accident
hit international news outlets.
The Governor said that while TEPCO's performance was disappointing, its
employees performed admirably in trying to shut down the damaged plant and
prevent further radiation release. He called TEPCO's workers the
"rising stars for Fukushima" and complained that Mr. Shimizu needed
to provide them with better medical coverage.
III. The Fate of the Fukushima Plants
Fukushima I's reactor 1 had been operation since 1970. Prior to the
disaster it was scheduled to be decommissioned in April. Reactors 2-4,
built in the 1970s were expected to soon follow.
Following the disaster, TEPCO Chairman Tsunehisa Katsumata had told
reporters that four of the six reactors had been decommissioned. But he
failed to make clear what the fate of the newer reactors 5 and 6 would be.
It now appears those will undergo a mandatory shuttering, as well.
The decision by the government to force the complete closure of the Fukushima I
power plant likely kills plans to build two advanced boiling water reactors
on-site. Ironically, these ABWRs would have been meltdown-proof, due to
their design, which includes passive emergency cooling.
While the fate of the damaged northern plant appears to be sealed, the fate of
the southern Fukushima II power plant, which also sustained damage, is unclear.
The second plant featured more modern second-generation designs, built in
the 1980s. It is thought that containment at these plants largely held
due to the design improvements, despite a similar loss of backup power.
It is possible that Fukushima II will resume operations.
Hopefully, the plans for the meltdown-proof ABWR reactors will be shifted to
the second site, which currently only houses four reactors. There are no
guarantees, though, as the people of Japan, like many in the U.S. have largely
entered in an under-informed state of nuclear panic and hysteria.
Some at least seem to be getting the underlying message of several small
negligence-induced problems leading to bigger issues. Jalopnik recently quoted Saab's
Chairman Victor Muller referring to his plant shutdown as a
"small Fukushima" -- to which a commenter quipped,
"Coincidentally for those very same reasons, Michael Lohan calls his daughter a
'medium Fukushima'."

In what could be seen as a big plus to all Xbox 360 users
out there (save for those that have units that are more than a year old),
Microsoft has extended the warranty of all Xbox 360 consoles from 90 days to a full
year in the United States and Canada. This latest move comes exactly three
months after Microsoft decided to offer free repairs to Xbox
360 manufactured before 01/01/2006.
As if the case with most all electronic purchases, the
one-year warranty period starts from the original date of purchase. Customers
that have already paid out-of-pocket for Xbox 360 repairs after the original
90-day warranty period, but before the new one-year warranty period will
receive automatic credits for repair costs. Customers will not need to contact
Microsoft at all for the reimbursement checks which will be mailed out within
10 weeks.
"Customer satisfaction is a central focus and priority
for the Xbox 360 system," said Jeff Bell, corporate VP of Global Marketing
for Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business. "The Xbox 360 system now
offers this extended warranty upgrade. It is truly the industry's most
compelling home entertainment offering."
The free warranty upgrade should also be welcome news to
Xbox 360 owners who've had their consoles bricked by the Fall Dashboard Update.
There were numerous reports of Xbox 360's being "taken out" by the
update. One California man, Kevin Ray, was asked to fork over $140 to repair
his Xbox 360 after the Fall Dashboard Update failed. Ray responded by starting
a class action
lawsuit over the matter.

Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer electronic cash system that is completely decentralized, without the need for a central server or trusted parties. Users hold the crypto keys to their own money and transact directly with each other, with the help of a P2P network to check for double-spending.
filegive easily sends or receives files point-to-point, with authentication and ciphering, and the other side only needs a Web browser. No third party server is involved in the transfer. It can use common NAT traversal protocols like uPnP and NAT-PMP, manually forwarded ports, or a public ssh server.
TomP2P is a P2P-based high performance key-value pair storage library. Each peer has a table (either disk-based or memory-based) to store its values. A single value can be queried or updated with a secondary key. The underlying communication framework uses Java NIO to handle many concurrent connections.
KTorrent is a BitTorrent application that allows you to download and share files using the BitTorrent protocol. Key features include queuing of torrents, global and per-torrent speed limits, previewing of certain file types, importing of partially or fully downloaded files, file prioritization for multi-file torrents, selective downloading for multi-file torrents, kick/ban peers with an additional IP Filter dialog for list/edit purposes, UDP tracker support, support for private trackers and torrents, support for µTorrent's peer exchange, support for protocol encryption (compatible with Azureus), support for creating tracker-less torrents, support for distributed hash tables (DHT), support for UPnP to automatically forward ports on a LAN with dynamic assigned hosts, support for webseeds, scripting support via Kross, and interprocess control via DBus interface.
Forban is a P2P file sharing application for link-local and local area networks. Forban works independently from the Internet and uses only the local area capabilities to announce, discover, search, or share files. Forban relies on HTTP and is opportunistic, meaning that it replicates any files of interest seen in its proximity. The Forban protocols are minimalistic to ease the production of other implementations.
uhub is a high performance peer-to-peer hub for the ADC network. Its low memory footprint allows it to handle several thousand users on high-end servers, or a small private hub on embedded hardware. It uses the ADC protocol, and is compatible with DC++, jUCy, and other ADC clients.
robonobo is social music sharing and downloading software. It allows you to share your friends' music libraries and playlists, stream the audio instantly, and download the file in the background so you can burn it, export it to your music player, or do whatever you want with it. You can import your friends list and share links to your playlists via Facebook and Twitter.

The Durango City Council on Tuesday approved a one-time appropriation of $336,818 for $125 monthly cost-of-living increases for each of the old-hire police and firefighters as well as increasing survivors benefit for firefighters from 75 percent to 100 percent of their monthly benefit.
The old-hire police and fire pensioners have not had a cost-of-living increase since 2006. A $100 a month increase had been approved in September 2008, but was later rescinded in November 2008 because of the economic turmoil, according to a city memorandum.
Mayor Doug Lyon appreciated the pensioners for their understanding as the city went through some painful financial times.
The cost-of-living increases are long overdue and well-deserved, Lyon said.
Councilor Sweetie Marbury added, I cant say how much I appreciate all they have done for Durango.
Former Police Chief Chris Wiggins, who worked for the city from 1962 to 1994, thanked the city on behalf of the pensioners.
The defined-benefit plans affect only those retired police and firefighters hired before 1977. They cover a total of 17 retired police, firefighters and surviving spouses.
Their monthly benefits vary widely from about $200 to $1,500 depending on their years of service and other factors, said Julie Brown, the citys finance director.
The appropriation, taken from this years reserves or fund balance, breaks down to $130,123 for the policemen and $206,695 for firefighters, which also included funding to increase the survivors benefit for firefighters from 75 percent to 100 percent.
The survivors benefit for police was already 100 percent.

US Senators in landmark visit to INTERPOL Regional Bureau in Argentina
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina – Four high-ranking US Senators have made a landmark visit to INTERPOL's Regional Bureau in Buenos Aires to see first-hand the added value to national and regional law enforcement through international police cooperation.
Senator Richard Shelby (R – Alabama), Senator Thad Cochran (R – Mississippi), Senator Susan Collins (R – Maine) and Senator Michael Crapo (R – Idaho) were met by INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble and head of the INTERPOL Regional Bureau Rafael Pena-Hernández at the offices in Argentina, which serve as the world police body's regional contact point for countries throughout South America.
The Senators, who were accompanied by the US Ambassador to Argentina, Vilma Martinez, the head of the US National Central Bureau in Washington, Shawn Bray and other senior US officials were updated on the world's largest police organization's tools and activities which assist US law enforcement to protect the country's 315 million citizens and 50 million visitors.
With the opening of its Command and Coordination Centre in 2011, Buenos Aires became the first Regional Bureau to have 24/7 police support capacity, operating in tandem with the CCC at the INTERPOL headquarters in Lyon, France, and playing a central role in Operation Infra-SA (International Fugitive Round-Up and Arrest – South America).
Among the operation's 200 targets from 34 countries were sisters Clara and Caridad Guilarte, wanted by the US for false claims to Medicare worth USD 9.1 million. Captured in Colombia, the pair were extradited to the US and sentenced to 14 years by a Miami court.
Briefing the delegation during their visit on Friday, Secretary General Noble said as the world's highest user of INTERPOL's Stolen and Lost Travel Documents (SLTD) database, the US was setting an example for other countries to follow. More than 220 million checks were carried out by the US in 2012 alone, resulting in some 10,500 people identified as attempting to enter the country on fraudulent passports.
"Although the saying is 'all politics is local' this adage can also be applied to policing, and INTERPOL can ensure that vital international policing information gets into the hands of local and national law enforcement when and where it is needed most," said Secretary General Noble.
"Neither INTERPOL nor its member countries will stop their searches for dangerous criminals wanted for arrest internationally until they are apprehended," added the INTERPOL Chief, highlighting the case of Joran Van der Sloot.
The 25-year-old Dutchman was arrested in Chile in 2010 after INTERPOL Peru issued an alert that he was wanted in connection with the killing of 21-year-old Stephany Flores Ramirez, a crime Van der Sloot later pled guilty to and was sentenced to 28 years in January 2012.
Van der Sloot also remains the subject of an INTERPOL Red Notice, or international wanted persons alert, issued at the request of US authorities for extortion in connection with the disappearance of US teenager Natalee Holloway in Aruba in 2005, for whom an INTERPOL Yellow Notice, an international missing persons alert, remains valid.
In March 2011, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) working with Ecuadorean authorities tracked six Pakistani nationals wanted for crimes involving human smuggling and who also had ties to known terrorist groups, to a location in Quito. Following a request by Ecuadorean authorities for Red Notices to be issued for the subjects, INTERPOL Washington and officers at the General Secretariat headquarters ensured their publication within 24 hours, enabling the suspects' deportation.
Mr Noble also pointed to the recent success of Operation Spartacus, an anti-human trafficking initiative coordinated by the Buenos Aires Regional Bureau. The six-week operation (18 June - 31 July 2012) across Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay and supported by Italy, Spain, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) resulted in the rescue of 365 victims and 197 arrests.

CUNA: Credit Union Hiring Returned to Historic Norms in 2012
For the first time since 2008, credit unions added a significant number of new employees to their payrolls.
According to information released Monday by CUNA, the number of full-time equivalent employees in the credit union industry increased to 249,399 in 2012, representing a 2.9% increase over 2011.
CUNA sourced NCUA financial performance reports, as well as other sources that reported employees at privately insured credit unions, to reach its conclusions.
The nearly 3% gain marks a return to historic norms, said CUNA Chief Economist Bill Hampel. Full-time equivalent employees, which combine both full and part time employees, increased by 3.3% in 2006, 3.5% in 2007 and 2.1% in 2008. However, full time equivalent counts decreased by -1.1% in 2009, fell by 0.4% in 2010 and recovered only slightly in 2011, with a 0.7% increase.
The nearly 250,000 full time equivalents is higher than the peak figure of 244,245 reported in 2008, as the recession was beginning to take its toll on credit unions. However, that comprehensive gain has come from more full-time employees, with 233,596 reported in 2012, up from a high of 227,077 reported in 2008. Comparatively, there were just 31,605 part time employees in 2012, still below a peak of 34,809 in 2007.
Hampel said the new employees are further evidence credit unions are putting more space between them and the recession. Postponing hiring was one strategy credit unions utilized during the recession to protect net worth and their bottom lines, he said.
The CUNA economist added that despite the payroll increases, credit union efficiency ratios did not increase.
"That's a good sign, because it means the expense reductions over the last several years have come from efficiencies, not from just postponing hiring," he said.
The employee gains are also a sign credit union leaders are more optimistic about the future, Hampel said.
