Every Wednesday, I try to catch celebrities in the act of being frugal. This week, I found Julia Roberts, who takes a frugal approach to shopping and the environment. She is a BYOB --Bring Your Own Bag -- shopper, according to one media report. For example, in this photo from Us Magazine, Julia Roberts is buying flowers and using her own plastic bags to carry away her merchandise. She's in the third photo on the left column in this link.
JULIA ROBERTS picked up stems in L.A. Feb. 15. The environmentalist activist always brings her plastic bags back: "You can get a nickel for every bag!" she has said. -- source: Us magazine.
Many discount stores, especially in Europe, give shoppers a BYOB discount. Others such as Aldi-- a German based chain of steep, steep discount grocery stores, actually charge shoppers money for bags, according to the book Treasure Hunt by Michael J. Silverstein.
"People often bring their own baskets or bags because Aldi charges fifty cents for a paper bag and ten cents for a plastic one." -source: Treasure Hunt
With its cheap, cheap prices Aldi is gradually expanding in the U.S. On the website for its U.S. Operations, the company explains its BYOB strategy:
"ALDI does not hide the cost of grocery bags in our retail prices. Instead, we encourage you to recycle your grocery bags by bringing them back to the store each time you shop." source: Aldifoods.com
Aldi--according to Treasure Hunt --has not quite caught on in America, but it is slowly winning fans in some parts of the U.S. The Star News in Minnesota reports that an Aldi store will be opening in another midwest city.
"Plans for an Aldi discount grocery store in Elk River have cleared the City Council in a 3-2 vote." source: Star News

Social Media Connects Us All to Boston Shooting
Submitted: 04/19/2013
Cambridge, Mass.
- Social media no doubt full of information and reactions from this week's scares in Boston.Chances are someone you're connected to online is affected.Newswatch 12's Kira Lynne has a friend who currently attends MIT in Cambridge, and spoke with her about her sense of security.Alli is a graduate student at MIT and has lived in Cambridge for almost 5 years. She lives about a 10 minute walk from where the shooting happened.She says it's always been a safe community and never thought she would have to worry about a bombing suspect on campus, let alone the shooting of a police officer.She first realized something was wrong when she heard sirens at 10:30 Friday night.This was followed by emergency text alerts and phone calls through the night.Alli writes: "I felt safe in my apartment building at that moment, but it was still scary to not know what was really happening and where the shooter was. It was also scary to think that I had been walking through campus near the shooting location just an hour or so before it happened. I could have easily been there. I actually felt more afraid this morning when it was reported that [the] MIT shooter and suspect in Watertown was the same person as the marathon bombing suspect, and the fact that this person had been so close to me on my campus."While the campus was loud and chaotic Friday night, the request from city officials to stay home made for a different atmosphere Friday afternoon.Alli goes on to say: "It has felt eerily quiet with very few cars and people out and about, because all mass transit was shut down and people were instructed to stay in their homes, businesses not to open. All the universities are closed. There have been occasional bursts of sirens, and I've seen some police cars racing down streets nearby. It is hard to say what the rest of the city is like, I'm limited to the part I can see out my window, but around here it seems pretty deserted."Like all of us, Alli expressed her gratitude to area law enforcement and her thoughts go out to the family and friends of the slain MIT police officer.

To: Dean Sanpei,
Subject: Support H.B. 135 – Transportation Funding Amendments
Date: Thu Feb 20 20:06:08 MST 2014
Dear State Representative Sanpei,
Utah has long been a leader in disciplined planning and investment in transportation. As the state population is expected to increase by over 60 percent by 2040, we must ensure our state's transportation system will be able to keep pace with population growth, and we also need to maintain the system that we already have. This dynamic growth requires a long-term view and stable, adequate funding as is provided in H.B. 135.
This bill would reduce the motor-fuel tax to a 12.2 cent per gallon base, and adjust annually based on a five maintenance variable index capped at 2% increase and will sunset in 2021. This bill captures the broad base benefit of an efficient and well maintained transportation system. This is not a tax increase as the bill is revenue neutral in its first year and critically preserves purchasing power in the motor-fuel tax through the annual adjustments.
I urge you to support and pass H.B. 135 – Transportation Funding Amendments out committee favorably.
Sincerely, Joseph Allen StakerParson Co . 1504 N 1615 W Clinton, UT 84015

About UHC
The CUNY Urban Health Collaborative (UHC) was created in Spring 2000 in order to strengthen teaching, research and practice in urban health within the City University of New York. The growing urbanization of the world's population, the powerful impact of city living on health, and the CUNY mission of serving New York combined to make urban health a natural focus for our institution. With more than 200,000 students who reflect the diversity of the city and more than 100 health-related academic programs, CUNY brings a wealth of resources to the study of urban health.
In the last 5 years, nearly 400 CUNY faculty, research staff, administrators, and students have joined to attend the UHC's academic forums, to find colleagues with common interests, and to develop new activities related to teaching, research and practice in urban health.
Our accomplishments over the past 5 years include:
- National recognition in the award of a 5-year NIH Roadmap Curriculum Development Award to UHC faculty (2004-2009) for the preparation of an interdisciplinary curriculum in urban health
- The development of new pathways for students interested in urban health, including an MPH-PhD program, new doctoral level courses in urban health, and other academic options for advanced study in urban health
- Interdisciplinary and cross-campus workgroups centered around specific interest areas in urban health, including HIV/AIDS, obesity/nutrition/activity, immigration, healthy urban aging, correctional health, urban planning, and occupational and environmental health
- Ongoing collaboration between the UHC and several CUNY research centers with an interest in urban health, including the Center for Human Environments at the Graduate Center, the Center for the Biology of Natural Systems at Queens College, and the Brookdale Center on Aging, the Center on Urban and Community Health, and the Center for Occupational and Environmental Health at Hunter College
- An ongoing series of more than 20 faculty development seminars on topics in urban health, with invited speakers from across the country
- Annual forums for both graduate students and new CUNY faculty with interests in urban health
- The allocation of several cluster hire lines at CUNY to the areas of urban and environmental health, including the first ever interdisciplinary position in Urban Health at the CUNY Graduate Center.
- Several publications on urban health by UHC members.
Why a focus on urban health?
Today, city life is the norm for an ever-growing proportion of the world's population. Recent projections suggest that half of the world's population will live in urban areas by 2007 and three-quarters by 2030 (United Nations Population Division, 2000; Gelbard et al., 1999). The urban environment influences every aspect of health and well-being: what people eat, the air they breathe and the water they drink, where (or if) they work, the housing that shelters them, their sex partners and family arrangements, where they go for health care, the danger they encounter on the street, and who is available for emotional and financial support. In the modern era, cities have been both the sources of serious threats to population health and of public health innovations. More than ever, to understand what causes health and disease and to improve the health of the public requires an improved awareness of how urban living affects health and well-being.
In the United States, about 80% of the population lives in metropolitan areas and more than a quarter in the largest central cities. In the last half century, poverty and ill health have become increasingly concentrated in urban areas and many of the most serious health problems facing the nation (e.g., HIV infection, homicide, substance abuse) have their origins in cities (American College of Physicians, 1997). While there have been marked improvements in health in some areas in the past two decades, sharp disparities in health continue to characterize the nation and nowhere are these disparities greater than in cities. Indeed, unless the United States develops more effective strategies to improve the health of urban populations, it is unlikely to meet the health goals articulated in Healthy People 2010 (American College of Physicians, 1997; Freudenberg, 2000). These are the challenges the CUNY Urban Health Collaborative seeks to address.
What is the Urban Health Collaborative?
The City University of New York is uniquely situated to contribute to the solutions to urban health problems. Located in the largest city in the United States, with students who reflect the ethnic, language and cultural diversity of New York, CUNY has a long history of educating health professionals to serve urban communities, conducting social science and health research on urban health and social issues, and engaging with citizens, foundations, and policy makers in developing innovative solutions to urban health problems. With more than 100 academic programs that prepare health professionals for practice in urban communities and more than 150 active research projects related to the health of urban populations, CUNY already has substantial assets in urban health. By better coordinating these existing efforts and adding new resources, the CUNY Urban Health Collaborative seeks to make CUNY a national leader in research and education for healthier cities.
The CUNY Urban Health Collaborative seeks to:
- Strengthen existing CUNY health programs at all levels to prepare health professionals who have the knowledge and skills to work in diverse urban communities to address the multiple factors that contribute to health and disease;
- Foster multidisciplinary research projects in which CUNY faculty collaborate to study and reduce urban health problems;
- Create new opportunities to for doctoral-level education in urban health within existing CUNY doctoral programs;
- Develop new interventions to enable CUNY students to play an active role in promoting health and preventing diseases within their families, communities and workplaces;
- Assist citizens, communities, schools, advocacy organizations and elected officials to develop and evaluate policies that will improve the health of urban populations.

Pwn or Die have come up with a good bar argument: The four faces on a hypothetical Mount Rushmore of video gaming. The four they've chosen are good, but are they the best choices?
As you can see in the pic, the selections are Master Chief, Mario, Lara Croft and Sonic the Hedgehog. Lara is the only head scratcher to me, although she does represent the 1990s PC gaming boom pretty well.
If it were my call, and we were picking analogs to the US presidents up on the actual hill, I'd go with something like:
Pac-Man as George Washington: Washington was the father of the country. Pac-Man was the progenitor of video gaming.
Gordon Freeman as Thomas Jefferson: Jefferson is on Rushmore for representing the principles of U.S. democracy. Freeman as a symbol of Half-Life 2 and Valve, likewise represents a broad set of bedrock principles for good games - good story, strong level design, memorable characters, multiplayer (on PC anyway), multi-platform, long replay value, among many others.
Master Chief as Teddy Roosevelt: Roosevelt, the progressive, also is the most recent of the four faces. So is Master Chief, whose game likewise represents progress into a new era of gaming.
Mario as Abraham Lincoln: Lincoln saved the Republic. Mario, through Super Mario Bros. and the Nintendo Entertainment System, saved console gaming.
I agree Gordon may not be an iconic choice to non-gamers; maybe less so than Lara. But hey, it's not like this actually exists somewhere. So who would you put up on yours?

Albert-László Barabási
Albert-László Barabási http://www.nd.edu/~alb/ Author of Linked: The New Science of Networks (Perseus, Cambridge, MA, 2002) and co-author of The Structure and Dynamics of Networks (Princeton University Press, 2006 in press).
From wikipedia: Albert-Laszlo Barabasi (Barabási Albert-László) is the Emil T. Hofmann professor of physics at the University of Notre Dame. He is noted for research into scale-free networks and biological networks. He is an ethnic szekler born in Transylvania. He studied engineering in Romania, next took a master in Hungary, and now is a U.S. Permanent Resident.
Barabasi has been a major contributor to the development of real-world network, together with several other scientists from physics, mathematics, and computer science, including Steve Strogatz and Mark Newman. Barabasi's biggest role has been the introduction of the scale-free network concept, as well as a popularizer of network theory. Among the topics in network theory that Barabasi has studied are growth and preferential attachment, the mechanisms responsible for the structure of the World Wide Web or the cell.
According to the review of one of Barabasi's books, preferential attachment can be described as follows:
"Barabasi has found that the websites that form the network (of the WWW) have certain mathematical properties. The conditions for these properties to occur are threefold. The first is that the network has to be expanding, growing. This precondition of growth is very important as the idea of emergence comes with it. It is constantly evolving and adapting. That condition exists markedly with the world wide web. The second is the condition of preferential attachment, that is, nodes (websites) will wish to link themselves to hubs (websites) with the most connections. The third condition is what is termed competitive fitness which in network terms means its rate of attraction."

Watch Minor League Pitcher Throw Rare Game-Ending Wild Pitch During Intentional Walk
The intentional walk may be the most humdrum thing to watch in a baseball game.
Until now.
A recent minor league game between the New Britain Rock Cats and New Hampshire Fisher Cats ended when New Hampshire pitcher Alan Farina unleashed a wild pitch while issuing an intentional walk.
League rules dictate that the second game of a doubleheader go seven innings, so when the score was tied at 5 in the bottom of the seventh New Hampshire decided to intentionally load the bases in order to give the team a force on each base.
Farina smashed that strategy to pieces, though, with the wild pitch that allowed the runner on third to easily scamper home with the winning run and creating one of the more unusual victories you'll ever see.

Easter Cookies? Why not?
Simply make your favorite drop sugar cookie (I made a ricotta lemon cookie) with yellow food coloring, frost with sugar glaze and sprinkle with pastel sugar.
The secret to any cookie is consistent shape and size. I use my smallest cookie scoop for this task.
The glaze is two cups of confectioners sugar, the zest and the juice of one lemon plus water to get to 4 tablespoons.
To glaze the cookies, line a few cookie sheets with parchment (easy clean-up) and invert the cookie quickly in the glaze and roll around to coat. Set glazed cookies onto the lined sheet. Much of it runs off onto the parchment (you'll be glad you lined the sheet) so don't over do it. Only do 5-6 cookies at a time or the glaze will dry and you won't be able to sprinkle. Sprinkle with colored sugar and let dry. They package easily and you can stack them.
Have a yummy day!

HTC Amaze 4G review
The recent announcement (and preceding months of rumors) have most minds set on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. This makes it hard for other manufacturers and products to compete. But if we take a look around, there are other outstanding devices to be had.
For example, the HTC Amaze 4G – a superphone that had the bad luck to be released so close to the first Ice Cream Sandwich device. This device is one of the best I've seen or used; it's probably the best option avaialable as of now. At least until the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Motorola Droid RAZR, and HTC Rezound are released. But depending on your personal needs and preferences, the HTC Amaze 4G could even beat these devices.
The HTC Amaze 4G has great performance, as well as the outstanding build quality you can always expect from HTC. It would definitely make many Android fans happy. Let's go into the details and see what the pros and cons are.
Build Quality
This is one of the most important aspects to consider when choosing a phone. You could be handling this device for two years (or more); it should not only feel resistant, but it should feel comfortable in you hand.
Certain users prefer light, thin devices, like the ones Samsung usually manufactures. Others believe that such builds feel rather weak and "plasticky." The HTC Amaze 4G is neither. The first thing you'll notice is the device's durable, strong feel.
Yes, it's definitely heavier and thicker than many devices (11.8 mm thick / 6.1 ounces), but that also makes it feel very solid. Part of that is also due to the uni-body design that we also saw in devices like the HTC Sensation.
After letting some friends hold the device, the first impressions were always positive (regarding the physical feel). No one told me, "this is too heavy." Most were of the same opinion I am: that the device has a nice weight to it.
Due to the great reactions (personal and online), I will give this category a "plus." The device feels very durable. It is heavier, but also comfortable to hold. And it just feels like it can definitely handle some drops. If you're the kind to prefer light and thin devices, though, this is not the phone for you.
The second thing you notice is always the display. And this 4.3 qHD (540×960) Super LCD screen is not bad at all. It may not have the awesome blacks and saturation that Super AMOLED Plus has (or the stunning colors of the HTC Sensation XL), but it is definitely up there with the big guys.
In direct sunlight, this display looks great — at least compared to many other devices. I never had trouble using the device under the sun (and San Diego is very famous for its sunny days). Its viewing angles are also very noticeable. Not as much as the Sensation XL, but you can definitely see your content from all angles.
The qHD definition makes images and letters very crisp; there are phones coming out with 720p definition now, though. Such devices will definitely be much better in this sense.
As for colors, they are not as saturated and vibrant as others. But the display is very clear, and the colors do look great. There are definitely other great options for displays on the horizon.
This happens to be one of the first devices to come with a dual-core processor clocked at 1.5 GHz (Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ S3). This, along with 1 GB of RAM memory, makes the device perform amazingly well. In using it for a week, lag and wait time was unnoticeable.
The device is very responsive, apps open instantly, pinch-to-zoom is good, and the device works great even right after boot (which happens to be very quick, as well. It usually takes less than 20 seconds for the device to boot. Sometimes close to 10 seconds).
I did not have a single force close, nor any noticeable lag when using the device. Sometimes I experienced load times when using the browser, but that's due to data speeds, not the phone's performance.
Quadrant Benchmark scores averaged at around 2,800, with peaks of up to 2,900. Devices like the Samsung Galaxy S II are known to get higher scores, but this may not mean much to most of us. The device performs just as well. Even when purposefully running a lot of apps at the same time, it's hard to make the device slow down.
Data Speeds
Not quite as fast as Verizon 4G LTE (at least in my market), this runs on T-Mobile's HSPA+ 42 network. No, the device does not go up to 42 Mbps, but it does go significantly higher than some devices. Most of my speed tests averaged around 10 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up. Sometimes they would reach as high as 14 mbps, but in some areas it would drop down to 2-3 Mbps.
Verizon 4G LTE usually runs at around 15 Mbps down, with peaks of 20+ mbps, and 2-3 Mbps up. This device would not have the fastest 4G speeds, but 10 Mbps down is nothing to frown at. It feels almost as fast, and it is many times faster than some home internet.
This device currently runs on Android 2.3.4 and has HTC's Sense 3.0 UI overlay. This software is not bad, and it actually works great. But it's not what we're expecting.
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is about to be released with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. You may not care about this. You may be very happy with a Gingerbread device. But the device also has Sense 3.0 instead of the latest (HTC Sense 3.5). The newest overlay runs on mid-to-low-end devices like the HTC Rhyme, so it would only make sense that HTC would slap the newest version of Sense on this powerful device.
This device has all the features HTC Sense 3.0 has to offer. These include that awesome lockscreen, the personalization options, those amazing widgets and weather app (seen in the image to the right), and all the HTC services (like HTC Watch, HTC Likes and HTC Hub). Not to mention NFC compatibility, which will be useful once the feature gains more momentum.
This device gets a thumbs down in this category only because Ice Cream Sandwich is right around the corner and HTC Sense 3.5 is not present. Some of you may not care for HTC Sense 3.5, and HTC is already considering update plans for ICS. Since this is one of the best around, it has great chances of getting an Android 4.0 update in the near future.

From them one cable for each will be drawn, respectively for: telephone network, antenna installation for the cable TV and structural cabling – Internet to the apartments with used cables of the category cat.5e.
In the living premises, for the low voltage installations, it is foreseen to install a low voltage box. The connection between the floor box and the low voltage box will be made by means of a corrugated pipe. From the installed low voltage box separate outlet connection conductors will be drawn behind the plasterboard walls.
Conductor outlets of the respective installations wi8ll end on internet socket RJ 45 hidden installation at a height of 0,35 m from readymade floor.
Ring – intercom installation
In the main electrical distribution boards of the separate entrances of the building, there will be power supply connection blocks for the intercom networks and the electrical locks of the respective entrances.
Intercom installation network will include an intercom earphone in each apartment with connection to the distribution board at the ground floor with an intercom speaker and ring buttons installed at the entrance of each block.
In the earphones there will be an integrated zoomer. It will ring in a different way depending on the location from which the call is coming – from the entrance door of the block, or from the entrance door of the apartment. Ring-intercom installation network is wholly executed with the equipment of FERMAX.
Security and Alarm Installation
In each apartment there will be laid cables for the Security and Alarm Installation. The installation of the equipment will be made by the security company after concluding of individual contracts.

Stylish, and gets the basics right
Ultratough and packed with plenty of features
Free, but still not worth it
'For such a groundbreaking device, the N95's looks, at first glance, are that of an ordinary Nokia slider phone.'
'the Nokia N95 is one smart phone that just doesn't measure up, especially if you consider all the features in its minute size.'
'The keypad is very well designed, with a nice hump to each row of keys that made them easy for multi-tap typing.'
'5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss autofocus lens, a 2.6" QVGA display and a two way slider'
'having said as much, i do like this phone very much. i previously tried out the samsung a900 for 2 weeks and thought that the design of the samsung was missing two crucial elements: memory and battery life. sanyo got both right in m1, and more.'
'Sanyo uses that gigabyte as a springboard to give the phone as much multimedia juice as possible.'
'as today's phones are so slim and slender in comparison.'
'Don't get me wrong - at roughly twice the thickness of your standard "slim phone," this handset bulges noticeably in the pocket of all but the baggiest pants. '

Police Using Abandoned Newborn's Tooth in Search for Parents
(CYPRESS, Texas) -- Authorities are using the bottom tooth of the week-old infant abandoned in a plastic bag outside an apartment complex in Cypress, Texas as a clue in the search for her parents.
The newborn's early tooth, seen in just one of 2,000 births, is a unique genetic trait that may prove to be a link to her family history, according to investigators.
The baby, named Chloe by rescuers, weighed just four pounds when she was found by a woman walking her dogs near the apartment complex.
"More than likely her mother didn't have any type of prenatal care," Estella Olguin, spokeswoman for Texas Child Protective Services, told ABC's Good Morning America.
To aid in their investigation, police commissioned Texas sketch artist Lori Gibson to create a rendering of what her parents might look like by studying the newborn's features.
"The people would recognize that smile," Gibson told Good Morning America, "It's a ready smile, and then all I had to do was put teeth."
Authorities said they are hoping Chloe's mother or other relatives come forward to claim the baby, or officially allow another family to take custody of the newborn. They plan to charge the parents if they can find them, police said.
Texas has an infant safe haven law, which allows mothers to anonymously give up their babies to designated locations where they can receive care until they are placed in a permanent home.
Texas was the first state to enact an infant safe haven law, which was passed in 1999. The laws, now adopted by many other states and known as "Baby Moses laws," are meant to provide mothers with an incentive not to abandon unwanted children, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Meanwhile, Harris County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Christina Garza said once custody issues are resolved, "[Chloe] will be placed in a loving home."
"There is no shortage of people who want her," she said.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The budget crisis discussed for months by Jacksonville officials has become very tangible for 150 city workers who learned they will be laid off and 150 others who will be demoted.
Wednesday night the city issued a list of hundreds of names and titles that will be cut because of the tightened budget.
Channel 4 spoke with those who approved the cuts. They say it was a necessary evil since the city had to make up for 5 percent lower revenue from property taxes this year.
Three hundred people are impacted by the cuts: 150 employees will be laid off and 150 employees will be demoted.
"We are in unprecedented times," said City Councilman John Crescimbeni. "We had a significant budget shortfall because of lower property taxes coming in this year, that got compounded by a high pension contribution."
The planned layoffs and demotions will save the city of Jacksonville millions.
- The library took the biggest hit with layoffs and demotions. 75 people will be bumped down a position in the library system, and 33 positions have been eliminated.
- 40 positions with the Public Works Department were cut.
- The Jacksonville Children's Commission will face 16 cuts.
- The Department of Neighborhoods will lose seven positions.
"It's very unfortunate. It is a tough time right now in our economy and that's part of the choice we make when we said it, when we ran and committed to not raising taxes," said City Councilwoman Lori Boyer.
Employees were notified this week of the cuts and put on paid administrative leave. The city is providing career transition services and a job fair for employees who have lost their job because of these cuts.

KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R Prototype makes its mark at Goodwood last weekend.
KTM took its 1290 SUPER DUKE R prototype to the Goodwood Festival of Speed this past weekend and certainly made an impression on the Hill Climb course of this British event.
Making its first ever moving public appearance, former MotoGP pilot and current KTM development rider Jeremy McWilliams had to use his years of racing experience to keep "The Beast" under control around the narrow and hazardous 1.16 mile Hill Climb course.
Boasting "a lot more torque" than the 1190 RC8 R its engine originated from, the prototype has many similarities between itself and the new 1290 SUPER DUKE R production model which is due later this year.
For petrolheads, there aren't many events that can rival the Festival of Speed, as it brings together exotic and historic two and four-wheeled machines from the past, present and, in this case, future. With its almost open-piped Akrapovic system emitting a raucous 125db, fans around the straw bale-lined circuit couldn't miss the sight and sound of "The Beast" in action. Complete with Dunlop slick tyres, McWilliams built up pace and confidence and was able to clock an impress (and unofficial) 54 second lap time, hitting speeds of 135 mph – sometimes on one wheel.
Five runs were completed over the three-day event and thus there was plenty of time for McWilliams and the KTM staff to talk to the people attending the Goodwood Festival of Speed. More than 130.000 people attended the magnificent event.
Jeremy McWilliams said: "I've ridden some magnificent machines at Goodwood, but nothing as lairy as "The Beast". It definitely suits the name. As soon as I tested this bike the evening before the event I knew I wanted to try and set a fast lap on it. I think we put on a good show as the response to the bike has been incredible and not just from the public! Kevin Schwantz told me it was his favourite bike at the event and he really wanted to ride it! I can't really say a lot about the upcoming production bike only that people won't be disappointed – the engine even has more grunt than that of 'The Beast'."

A study of analyst recommendations at the major brokerages shows that Visa Inc (V - Get Report) is the #1 broker pick, on average, out of the 30 stocks making up the Dow Jones Industrial Average, according to ETF Channel. Visa Inc is also a top tier analyst pick among the broader S&P 500 index components, claiming the #11 spot out of 500.In forming this rank, the analyst opinions from the major brokerage houses were tallied, and averaged; then, the underlying components were ranked according to those averages. Investors often interpret analyst opinions from different angles — a popular analyst pick could mean that many sharp minds individually came to the same bullish conclusion, and therefore the stock should do well, but it could also mean that if the company stumbles, that would come as a negative surprise.

Women's Resource Center at Tech Has New Director, Aug. 26, 2008
By Thomas Guengerich
SOCORRO, N.M., Aug. 26, 2008 – After seven years of steady leadership from professors Sue and Doug Dunston, the Women's Resource Center is having a changing of the guard. New humanities professor Barbara Bonnekessen said she hopes to continue growing the center's mission of providing an outlet for both academic students and events.
The annual "Meet the Women Faculty Lunch" will be from noon to 2 p.m. Friday, Sept. 5, in the Tripp Room at the Skeen Library.
"This is a great way to get to know the faculty," Bonnekessen said. "We get to meet students that we might not have in classes."
Bonnekessen, a cultural anthropologist, hopes to start a monthly series of "brown bags," or luncheon discussions centered on specific topics. She expects that the Brown Bag series will start with a session introducing the Women's Center – and Women's Studies – to the general campus community. Subsequent Brown Bag events will examine sexual harassment, affirmative action, the Family Medical Leave Act, embracing diversity and gender varieties, which Bonnekessen said she will bill as "the sexy side of Tech."
Women's Studies is a field that is much more than gender issues. Bonnekessen said the field is akin to cultural anthropology, but centers on the concept of looking at issues through the lenses of a woman.
According to Bonnekessen, "Women's Studies started in English and history departments. Now it's very multidisciplinary."
Bonnekessen says she has received a warm welcome from fellow faculty, from administrators and from students at New Mexico Tech. She has found that her classes in women's studies fill up quickly – and have plenty of male students enrolled.
"Tech is a great place to explore global diversity and discover that, 'Yes, we can play well together'," she said. "Most new students are already familiar with American diversity, but not necessarily global diversity. That's important for engineers because they are likely to work in another country, maybe for a transnational corporation. At Tech you can meet a diverse group of people over lunch in the cafeteria."
She has a variety of goals for the Center. One long-range goal would be to have a physical space for the Center.
"That's No. 1 on our wish list," she said. "To have a space where students can hang out – a space to connect – plus have events."
New Mexico Tech's student body is about one-third women, yet Bonnekessen feels like the campus is diverse and inclusive.
"There may be people who think women should be at Tech to fill the dating pool, but not very many people," Bonnekessen said. "Students assure me that they find Tech to be a very humane space."
A short-term goal for the Center is to build more interaction with the Socorro community and the public school district.
"Frequently, our students have little contact with the community," she said. "There are a lot of things our students can do in the community and there's a lot the community can teach us. I'd like to strengthen those ties."
Sue Dunston said she is pleased to hand over the reins to Bonnekessen. She said she is excited to have another full-time faculty member who is interested in being the director of the center.
"It's hard to let go, but it's time," Sue Dunston said. "We've developed a network and a support system for women. I think there's more of an open environment; people have a point person to go to with problems. Barbara brings a rich background in women's studies to the specific issues of women in science and engineering, and the Tech community will surely benefit from her leadership as director."
"The Center was a response to women appearing at my door, saying, 'I have a problem'," she said. "So we created this avenue to talk about what it's like to be a female in science and engineering."

Eagles wide receiver Arrelious Benn sustained a torn anterior cruciate ligament on Tuesday, the club said.
The injury would seem likely to end Benn's season, considering the usual timetable to recover from such an injury.
According to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the ACL tear is in Benn's left knee. He suffered a similar injury to the same knee late in the 2010 regular season with Tampa Bay.
The Eagles acquired Benn from the Buccaneers in the offseason. He's caught 59 passes for 862 yards and five TDs since entering the league as a second-round pick from Illinois in 2010.
The Eagles also disclosed Tuesday that they have waived wide receiver David Ball, who played for coach Chip Kelly at New Hampshire.

It seems as if the 40 dedicated women members of Las Candelas become several hundred as each puts in triple duty to produce their every-other-year fashion show benefit.
This year's benefit held on Monday (Feb. 25) at the L.A. Marriott-Burbank Airport Hotel celebrated Las Candelas' 60 years of service. The fundraiser's theme, Springtime's Promise, was carried out through the pastel colors of ensembles modeled from the Lourdes Chavez Collection.
But before the fashion show, plenty more went on. A packed reception allowed guests to indulge in their favorite pre-luncheon drink and peruse the boutique fashions, purses and jewelry. Generous vendors planned on giving 25% of their proceeds to Las Candelas. Burbank resident Jane Thornton was eyeing a blouse or two. Window-shopping were Glendale BFFs Linda Robertson, Anne Peplow and Marianna Nelson. If fashion wasn't your thing, there were plenty of opportunities to buy opportunity prize tickets and stuff them into the box of your choice. A favorite prize was a $2,500 shopping spree at South Coast Plaza. Even a luxury limo was tossed in for convenience. More goodies such as restaurant certificates and Disneyland visits could be won for $20 for five chances. Soon visitors were ushered into the Academy Ballroom where more than Academy Awards were offered up.
Las Candelas President Monica Sierra welcomed more than 700 men and women. Just like at Mrs. Gollatz's cotillions, boys sat on one side (of the runway), girls on the other. Following Sierra's remarks, benefit co-chairwomen Diane Russell and Bobbi Gangi recognized longtime active members Diane Johnson (46 years), Fran Buchanan (45 years) and the late Merle Hollywood (48 years).
Lunch began with coconut shrimp served in martini glasses. After guests took a bite or two of the main course, Tuscan chicken salad, the lights dimmed and the fashion show began. Even the men appeared to be into the fashion — or was it the models? Some snapped photos of their favorites.
After lunch Ms. Chavez's collection was available for sale. Ensembles could be ordered in custom sizes and at discounted prices. Chavez seems to be the reigning designer at Glendale fashion shows. Her collection can be found locally at Robert Ellis in Studio City and Gloria S in Brentwood.
Very Important People present at the luncheon were first gentleman Jose Sierra, Glendale City Councilwoman Laura Friedman, Glendale Healthy Kids' Executive Director Sharon Townsend Roth and former Glendale Mayor Eileen Givens, just back from an out-of-own visit with family.
Las Candelas member and table hostess Margaret Steenken from Glendale welcomed eight guests. Glendale residents were Mary Plazony and Patti Wassell. Mary Knudson hailed from La Crescenta.
Just as triple chocolate mousse rounds and raspberry mousse cups were served, opportunity prize winners were announced. Lucky basket No. 19 was full of gift certificates from local merchants in Glendale, Pasadena and San Marino. A Sunday brunch for six at Oakmont Country Club was included and valued at $225. Another mouth-watering certificate was for dinner at Pasadena's Ruth's Chris Steak House accompanied by a take-home bottle of pinot noir. The total value of gifts in the basket hovered around $1,000. Rumor has it that the lucky winner only spent $80 for 20 chances. Credit must be given to the hard work of Opportunity Prize Chairwoman Valery Moorhead.
Expected benefit proceeds are $80,000 to $82,000. Las Candelas provides mental health, life skill and cultural programs for emotionally challenged children through local facilities including Hathaway-Sycamores, Glendale Healthy Kids and the Glendale YWCA's Domestic Violence Program.

I decided to finally change out my avatar and use an actual picture of me. Yeah, I know funny looking, but that's me.
OK, so look at me....
Not funny looking at all, you are BEAUTIFUL!!! Love your hair!
Thank you! Actually, my husband took the picture just after I got my hair cut so he could show my sister-in-law. He really likes my new hairdo.
Beautiful! And I also love your new 'do! Is that your natural color?
No, my hair is a little lighter and more brown. I thought I'd try something new and went a darker purplish red colour. I hope it washes out soon. I'd like to go a more coppery brown with this colour as streaks.
Not funny looking at all. I think we are all too critical of ourselves. You are beautiful!!!
LOL - I just posted in the "freebies" thread because I noticed that your picture had changed. I shall repeat myself ... I will miss the green starry cat but it is lovely to put a face to the name! I agree with Christy - it's a lovely photo!
Like your husband, I like your hair style! It´s a great picture, and although I love cats, I really prefer this pic!
Thanks everyone. It kinda feels like I'm only half dressed with this photo of me. That green cat has been my avatar for a really long time all over the internet.
Great to see you Cat! I was browsing around thinking "who is this Cat person" haha! Glad to meet you in "real life"!
Have to join in the hair love! Wish my hair would stay tame like that.
Nice picture, Cat!
I had a real picture up when I first signed up here (though on the older side - I'm usually the one BEHIND the camera), but got bored with it & decided a few months ago to "artify" another pic (for lack of a better word) & use that instead. I like the pink & purple feel to it, but sometimes feel I should go back to a real picture again...
Thank you, Cat. I love being able to put a face with a name, and your face is lovely. It helps me feel just a wee bit more connected in a world where we can often feel anything but connected with those around us.
Yes, nice to "meet" you!
Lovely, lady! Many of us find it easier to post an avatar instead of a picture of ourselves, but I'm glad this site encourages us to be ourselves!
I read something recently, I wish I had bookmarked it... about how difficult it is for some of us to be in pictures, but how important it is for the people who love us to have pictures of us. I'm always behind the camera, and I'm very uncomfortable being photographed, but I have to remind myself that my nieces and nephews and other people who love me need to have pictures of me just as much as I need pictures of them. They don't see me as I see myself; they see the love in my eyes, the warmth in my heart. That's all that matters to them.
Yes, I am always the one behind the camera as well. Its not so much that I don't like having my picture taken, its just that my family, and especially my husband, can't take a picture to save their lives. I think my husband took about 6 or 7 pictures with his phone before that one actually turned out. I'm surprised there was still somewhat of a smile on my face for the picture by that time...
Penny, is this the article you read? It's from the Huntington Post about Mom staying the picture. I love it and sent it to all my daughters who are also usually the ones behind the camera.
Oh, Harriett, yes, it is! Thank you so much for sharing it. I bookmarked it now so I can share it when I want to... or just read it again when I need to!
Thank you for the link Harriett.
Penny - "they see the love in my eyes, the warmth in my heart" - what a beautiful sentiment! You photo is lovely and you do look really warm and friendly.
Lizanne - I love that this site encourages photos - it does make me feel more "connected" the the people I am communicating with but I think you should stick with whatever makes you comfortable - I like what you've done with your picture.
Cat - my photo is my husband taking a photo of my newly coloured hair to send to my Mum so she could see the shade I was telling her about LOL I too am far more comfortable behind the camera!
Nice to see your face, Cat! Your husband did a good job with the picture. I am usually the picture-taker in our family because my husband just never thinks to pick ours up!
That article you shared Harriet is a good one, and I sent it to all my friends when I read it. We realized this lesson when we were putting together a memory board for my dad's funeral. We realized that while we did have pictures with him, we had far more of Mom + kids because Dad was the cameraman in the family. I now make sure to encourage all new parents to get in FRONT of the camera from time to time, for their kids' sake.
Funny looking, Cat? I don't think so. I see a lovely lady.
Cat, Ive always been shy about putting my pic on my various profiles. Many of my pictures I "alter" etc. Your pic is nice. How do you feel about your hairdo?
If you and your husband both like it then it's all good.

Christine Merrill's Olympic Moment Finally Arrives
Related Links
Competing in the fifth and final heat of the event, Merrill finished ninth with a time of 57.15, which was a season best but not enough to qualify for the semifinals.
A former NCAA Champion for the Tritons, Merrill was competing for Sri Lanka and was one of just two athletes to represent the island nation at the 2012 Olympic Games.
"Today was (a) moment I will never, ever forget," Merrill posted on her Facebook page after the race. "The roar of the crowd (was) so loud it made my heart echo. The bounce of the rock-hard track. The feeling of the Olympic Spirit. Thank you Sri Lanka and thank you to you all for sharing it with me!"
Great Britain's Perri Shakes-Drayton won the heat at 54.62, followed by Melaine Walker of Jamaica at 54.78, Ukraine's Hanna Yaroshchuk at 54.81 and Morocco's Hayat Lambarki at 55.58.
The top four individuals from each heat and the next four fastest overall qualified for the semifinals, which will begin Monday evening. The final is scheduled for Wednesday.
Merrill owns the Sri Lankan national record in the 400 hurdles after clocking a time of 56.83 at the Asian Athletic Championships in Japan last summer. She was selected as the country's female Olympic wild card entrant in early July after no Sri Lankan athlete was able to reach a qualifying standard.

Center for the Performing Arts candy wrapper collection off to a sweet start
Center for the Performing Arts candy wrapper collection off to a sweet start
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State is collecting candy wrappers during its 2013-14 season to benefit the charity Covenant House.
Through a TerraCycle program called the Candy Wrapper Brigade, which awards points for each wrapper collected, the Center for the Performing Arts aims to provide 100 homeless, runaway or at-risk children with a year's worth of school supplies to pursue their studies.
"So far this season the center, with participation from individuals, churches and schools in Centre and surrounding counties, has collected over 6,000 wrappers. We would like everyone to keep our goal in mind this Halloween," said Shannon Bishop, a member of the Center for the Performing Arts Green Team.
This is the third year the Center for the Performing Arts has collected candy wrappers. In 2011-12, more than 6,400 wrappers were redeemed to provide clean drinking water for a year to 43 people in developing countries. Last season, 415 meals were provided to Americans in need with a collection of more than 10,000 wrappers. Learn more about the candy wrapper program at http://www.terracycle.com.
Patrons attending events at Eisenhower Auditorium, on the corner of Shortlidge and Eisenhower roads at University Park, may place used candy wrappers in lobby collection boxes. Eligible waste — from auditorium concession sales or from home or office use — includes individual candy wrappers, large candy bags and multi-pack candy bags.
Candy wrappers and bags may also be dropped off at Eisenhower during regular business hours, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, or at the Penn State Downtown Theatre Center (146 S. Allen St., State College), 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. Penn State employees may send candy wrappers and bags via campus mail to Pam Aikey, Eisenhower Auditorium, or Shannon Bishop, Penn State Downtown Theatre Center.
Each year millions of candy wrappers are needlessly thrown away and most end up in landfills. TerraCycle partners with Mars, Wrigley and Cadbury to create a second life for candy packaging, but all brands of wrappers and candy bags are accepted for the recycling program.
