A House committee hearing looking into the Internal Revenue Service's alleged targeting of conservative groups ended Wednesday in a shouting match between the ranking Republican and Democrat on the panel, a sign election-year tension is building in the nation's capital.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, led by Rep. Darrell Issa, the Republican of California, gathered to hear from a former IRS official, Lois Lerner.
There had been a back-and-forth in the press over the past three days over whether Lerner had agreed to testify. She had previously invoked her Fifth Amendment right not to speak about the matter. Lerner resigned last year from her post as the IRS's director of tax-exempt organizations.
At this morning's hearing, Lerner did indeed refuse to testify.
Issa quickly moved to end the hearing, which sparked the strong objection of Cummings.
"You cannot just have a one-sided investigation. There is absolutely something wrong with that," Cummings barked to Issa.
"I gave you the opportunity to ask questions, you had no questions," Issa said.
"Mr. Chairman, what are you hiding," Cummings said as Issa strode out of the room.
Republicans allege that the IRS targeted Tea Party groups and other conservative organizations trying to get tax-exempt status.
Democrats have said that there was "gross mismanagement" at the IRS, but no evidence of a political conspiracy. They say that progressive groups were also targeted.

If you had to sum up immigration reform's crushing defeat in 2007 in one word, there would be exactly one choice:
That single characterization of proposals to legalize the undocumented population became a rallying cry on the right, presaging the tea party revolution and overthrowing the best laid plans of George W. Bush and Ted Kennedy alike.
As Republicans take their first steps toward backing a comprehensive immigration bill with many of the same features as their 2007 effort, the wounds of the "amnesty" tag are still raw.
Not coincidentally, one of the first tasks for any prominent conservative endorsing reform is to try and neutralize the word.
On Monday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), whose entire career was threatened by an anti-immigration backlash in Arizona, used the dreaded a-word to describe the status quo.
"The reality that's been created is a de facto amnesty," McCain told reporters at a press conference introducing his own bipartisan plan Monday.
"We have been too content for too long to allow individuals to mow our lawn, serve our food, clean our homes, and even watch our children, while not affording them any of the benefits that make our country so great."
Al Cardenas, chairman of the American Conservative Union and a supporter of reform, also used the "de facto amnesty" label but in a nice partisan twist, applied it to President Obama's policies halting deportations on young undocumented immigrants.
"As a result of the White House Executive Orders last year, we now have a de facto amnesty status which can only be fixed through legislation," Cardenas said in a statement on Monday. "We will soon know whether President Obama is more interested in finding solutions to our nation's immigration challenges or yet another opportunity for political grand standing and 'gotcha' politics."
Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) condemned amnesty repeatedly in an interview with MSNBC the same day while also calling for some form of immigration reform, prompting her hosts to ask just what she meant by the term.
"You know, amnesty is allowing people who came in the country to stay in the country — not asking them to make that situation right, not asking them to pay those back taxes," she said. "I think that what we need to do is very carefully look at what this pathway is going to be. We have to make certain that there is not going to be an amnesty that encourages more amnesty."
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) adopted a similar definition on MSNBC Tuesday when asked whether he felt the Senate's proposal was "amnesty," saying he thought it was "pretty tough love" by requiring undocumented immigrants to pay fines, back taxes, and pass a background check to qualify for legal status.
This definition of amnesty as "legal status without penalties" is largely in line with talking points circulated by the conservative Hispanic Leadership Network, which include a host of neat tricks for shaking the label. Among them:
Don't begin with "We are against amnesty" Note: Most everyone is against amnesty and this is interpreted as being against any reform.
Do acknowledge that the true meaning of amnesty is to pardon without any penaltyDon't label earned legal status as amnesty
Don't focus on amnesty as a tenet of immigration reformDon't use President Reagan's immigration reform as an example applicable todayNote: That legislation was true amnesty; in addition, border security, fixing our visa system, and a temporary worker program were parts of the reform which were never implemented.
For every Republican on TV trying to redefine the term, however, there will be plenty looking to ride the same resentments that powered grassroots opposition to immigration reform in 2007. "It's very difficult for me to support something that allows that type of amnesty," Rep. Pete King (R-NY) told Newsday on Monday, explaining his opposition to the Senate plan.

No tea party recess on immigration
The tea party has a message for Republican senators who voted Thursday for the immigration bill and congressmen who might: Welcome home.
Activists are promising to spend the congressional recess reminding lawmakers who support the Gang of Eight legislation what the base is capable of. Think loud town halls, jammed phone lines and primary challenges down the road — echoes of Obamacare three years ago.
Story Continued Below
"The anger is more intense now than it was in 2010," said Judson Phillips, founder of Tea Party Nation. "They are more upset about the amnesty bill than they were about Obamacare."
( Also on POLITICO: House GOP's immigration playbook)
But conservatives aren't united against immigration reform the same way they opposed Obamacare. Some tea party and GOP-affiliated groups including Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform, American Conservative Union and Faith and Freedom Coalition have expressed support for the Senate's bill, while acknowledging that the House will have to make some changes. Another group, TheTeaParty.Net, is supporting efforts toward immigration reform, but not the Senate bill, based on concerns of whether how border security provisions will be enforced.
Still, the majority of conservative groups are looking to replicate protests of previous years driven by Obamacare, the 2008 financial bailout, the stimulus bill, cap-and-trade bill and other Obama administration policies, which propelled the Republican House takeover in 2010. But after seeing President Barack Obama win re-election last year and GOP senators negotiate with Democrats, part of what's driving the tea party is disappointment with the result of their electoral efforts and disenchantment with the Washington crowd.
( PHOTOS: 10 wild immigration quotes)
"Some of these people have been up there so long and have been insulated and live in this bubble and aren't connected to to the real world," said Amy Kremer, chairwoman of Tea Party Express. "It's this attitude of: They know better."
Former Rep. Allen West, who has hinted he might challenge Sen. Marco Rubio in 2016, pointed to hidden details in the Gang of Eight bill that could cause the conservative base to lose trust in their lawmakers.
"When you get down into it, you see a lot of waivers and sweeteners and then it's politically driven," West said.
Kremer predicted that Republican lawmakers will avoid public appearances and other opportunities that might lead to an earful from an angered conservative base when they go back home this summer. Taped town halls became a hallmark of politics in previous summers, as lawmakers were filmed facing angry crowds or uncomfortable questions on both policy and topics like Obama's birth certificate.
( Also on POLITICO: Dems' week of living confidently)
Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), who co-sponsored the border surge amendment that helped bring 14 Republicans to vote for the Senate bill, told POLITICO he's ready for what's coming to him.
"When it gets hot in the kitchen, a lot of people run. I think folks in Tennessee understand that I usually take on the tough issues," he said.
Corker said he's faced pitchforks before when taking on the mortgage and the auto industries and expects to face plenty of angry constituents back home this summer as well. But on immigration, he expects eventually the outrage will be directed not at him, but those that voted against the bill.
"Once they understand what this amendment really does — in spite of the demagoguing of some of my colleagues — I think they'll say: 'Wait a minute. So people voted against 20,000 border patrol agents?" Corker said.
( Also on POLITICO: Obama doesn't get all he wanted)
Rubio, the Florida Republican and former tea party favorite, is an obvious target for the right. Rubio was booed by protesters outside the Capitol earlier this month, and he's been called out by big-name conservatives such as Sarah Palin and Ann Coulter.
Cindy Lucas, a coordinator with the tea party-affiliated Martin County 9/12 Committee in Florida, said she spent this week trying to sway Rubio from supporting the bill. Next week she expects his phone lines to be "melted" by conservative complains and his offices in Florida barnstormed by agitated constituents, but she's already moved to the next step.

Donning a prom gown, a pair of paint-spattered overalls, or a fur coat sends strong messages about the wearer's social status, values and sense of style. So what was the significance of African slaves dressed by their eighteenth-century English masters in silks and lace, Associate Professor of English Monica L. Miller wondered. And why was calling a black man a "dandy" a slight?
Her research, begun as a graduate dissertation at Dartmouth more than a decade ago, culminated in Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity (Duke University Press, 2009). The Modern Language Association has awarded the book its 2011 William Sanders Scarborough Prize for an outstanding scholarly work on black American literature or culture. Miller has been teaching at Barnard since 2000.
What launched your research? In graduate school, I was taking a class with Cornel West on W.E.B. Du Bois. I ran across a footnote about a cartoon ridiculing Du Bois as a dandy. The image I had of him was of a very serious intellectual, one responsible for the image of the race. I was curious about that critique.
How did clothing become a racially charged tool of social assessment? In New Orleans and South Carolina in colonial times, sumptuary laws prevented masters from giving slaves silk clothing. A slave in fancy clothing could be read as trying to be like his master or trying to mock his master—or trying to be like African nobility. One of the most fun parts of the book for me was to research ads for runaway and escaped slaves that listed the things servants took with them—all kinds of clothing, wigs, jackets. Clothing was really important because slaves were marked by it. Slaves on plantations got new clothing only seasonally; those who wanted to pass as free needed to dress on a higher level.
Did you discover any highlights of African-American fashion? The Harlem Renaissance is seen as the height of style for black Americans. A lot of that revision had to do with a new presentation of the black body. And this is where Du Bois came in again. It turns out that in Harlem in the 1920s there was a lot of interest in black image, in ways to self-represent. For the first time, there were famous black style-makers. There were raccoon coats, well-dressed women and men, and the beginning of black middle and upper class. The images of those people are designed to express to everyone that they are respectable, that they are people, and rights should be extended to them.
What kind of reception has the book received? It's in its second printing, and available on the Kindle. I was interviewed by an African fashion magazine, Arise, started by a Nigerian in London; I get random e-mails from people. A black gay man said he was so moved by it and was waiting his whole life for my book. I was like, really? A Free Man of Color, playing at the Lincoln Center Theater, is set in New Orleans around late 1800s. The main character is a black dandy. A Times of London reporter told me that George C. Wolfe, the director, began rehearsals for the play with my book in his hand.
Has your research changed how you dress? It's put a lot of pressure on me! You don't show up with this topic looking kind of shabby. I spent too much time in maternity clothing in the past two years, and now that's all over, so I'm hoping to ramp it up again.

Spot or Not: Boise Pond
Dodge cow patties in Idaho with Gabe Paulson.
This spot is like a run-off pond in Boise from the foothills just outside of town. It is a place right in town where we are putting rails to winch. It is sanitary but the whole place is about waist deep and the bottom is about a foot deep of soft black sediment that has a bit of a sulfuric smell to it. When we first went there and started building, a little WT frog and lizard collector kid, who collects bullfrogs from the pond and raises them, came down. We asked him if he had ever swam in the pond before. He replied in his WT slack jaw talk, "yeah." Then I asked, "was it cool?" Little kid, "no." Me, "why?" Little kid, "cuz it's shit." It could very believably be shit, but I assure you it's not.. Also, The bullfrogs in this place are like foot long and sound like cows… All right, so the place is beginning to sound a bit strange, what of it? Moving on.
So the second day we hit it, the boy's father comes haulin" ass along the high bank next to the pond in his first-ever-edition Ford Explorer, gets out, and cracks a tall boy. The dude looks like a haggard ass Angus Young from AC/DC. He yells out, "Y'aint landinnat shit cuz y'aint got no Skinnard! He then turns up the stock Explorer stereo volume to maximum rock and proceeds to slam his tall boy while throwing up a pair of metal horns. So if you can handle the sediment (shit) filled bottom, monster steroid bullfrogs, and whiskey tango, then you might just call this a spot.

For illogical and unknown reasons, I sometimes let myself slip into a state of mind where I assume something will be hard to do before I even give it a try. I can almost convince myself not to do something because I'll certainly fail. And if someone comes along who helps to make things easier, I don't trust them. Why? I don't know, I told you it didn't make sense. If someone wants to make my life a little bit easier, that should be a good thing. But instead of embracing it, I fight it. I already had it in my head that things were going to be difficult and couldn't possibly be made easier and that's just the way it's going to be. This problem extends to many areas of my life, the kitchen included. If I can convince myself to get over my uncertainty however, good things usually result. Like risotto. Before I had ever made risotto, I assumed it was hard. It seemed like something I could only ever order in a restaurant. I was mistaken. Risotto is infinitely adaptable and once you know how to make it, you'll never need a recipe or measurements again. It's a dish that I like making for other people because it's not as common as something like pasta but it's just as versatile. If your guest likes shrimp, then make them a shrimp risotto. If they don't like shrimp, they're foolish, but you can still make them happy with a risotto of their choice.
The Baker and the Curry Maker are hosting their first blogging event, which they're calling the Risotto Relay. They're Aussies and are generously offering up Tim Tams to the person who comes up with the best risotto, so I hope they like my Prawn and Pea offering… cause I like Tim Tams.
I suppose you want a recipe as well, of course I didn't use one, but here's what I did this time around: To start, I combined shrimp with a splash of white wine, some orange zest and a couple cloves of garlic, smashed. How much shrimp you ask? I was making it for two people so as much shrimp as the two of us wanted to eat. How much wine? Enough to coat the shrimp. How much orange zest? How orangey do you like your shrimp? I used the zest of one orange. Let sit for 20-30 minutes. Heat up some butter and oil and when it's hot, throw in the shrimp and cook until pink 2-3 minutes. How much butter and oil? Meh, enough to coat the bottom of the pan. Remove the shrimp but keep any remaining butter/oil/sauce in the pan. Chop half a red onion, (more if you want) and toss it into the pan, cooking about 3 minutes until it starts to look translucent. Add in your Arborio rice and stir. How much rice? Once again, it depends how many people you're cooking for, I used about a generous half cup. I think you get the picture, measurements really don't matter. When the rice is completely coated and is starting to give off a nutty aroma, add white wine. Once that's absorbed, add chicken stock, stir, stir, stir, add chicken stock, stir, stir, stir, add chicken stock… oh you know the routine. When the rice has absorbed all it's going to absorb and is still slightly al dente, add in a generous helping of freshly grated parmesan cheese and stir some more. Then add peas and shrimp, some ground pepper if you're feeling lucky and, wait for it… stir. Hey, guess what? You just made risotto! And it tastes really good so enjoy it.

So, winter was cancelled in the Champlain Valley. It's too bad, but it's time to stop whining and go sledding. Winter is still scheduled on top of Vermont's four highest mountains. Where the coverage isn't great for skiing, sledding is a great alternative. Plus, it's only a semi-skilled sport, and all it requires is a piece of plastic tarp. In the right conditions, you can sled in just your snowpants.
HANCOCK — While the Middlebury College men's basketball team has basked in the spotlight during its superlative season, athletes from the college's Alpine ski teams have also been highly impressive — with multiple individual wins across all disciplines.
This Friday and Saturday, Middlebury College will host its 89th annual Winter Carnival, the fifth stop on the Division I ski circuit, and the site of this year's NCAA Regional Championships.
MONPTELIER — House and Senate lawmakers on Monday are drafting legislation that would clearly define search-and-rescue protocols for Vermont emergency responders in connection with lost or injured hikers, this in the wake of the tragic death of 19-year-old Levi Duclos on a Ripton trail last month.
MIDDLEBURY — The state Senate will soon redraw its district boundaries as is required every 10 years after a federal census, and many Charlotte residents are panning a proposal that their town be absorbed into the Addison County senatorial district.
"I oppose this proposal because moving Charlotte into the Addison County senatorial district dilutes our — i.e., Charlotters' — rights as voters," said Charlotte resident Donna Spielman, who initiated a petition opposing the proposed Addison County and Charlotte district.
MIDDLEBURY — A group of educators, businesspeople and economic development officials is working with the Patricia A. Hannaford Career Center to establish a training program aimed at filling the dwindling ranks in Vermont's meat cutting industry.
The two-year program, which the career center will offer in collaboration with Vermont Technical College (VTC), could be offered as soon as this fall to adults (18 and over) who would be able to earn state certification for careers as meat cutters.
BRISTOL — The Addison Northeast Supervisory Union (ANeSU) Tuesday evening hired a new superintendent to replace Evelyn Howard, who will step down this summer after 12 years on the job.
David Adams, current superintendent of Windsor Southwest Supervisory Union, will take over ANeSU's top executive post on July 1. Adams will bring with him more than three decades of education experience, ranging from assistant superintendent of Vermont Southwest Supervisory Union in Bennington to principal of Mount Anthony Union Middle School in Bennington.

BRISTOL — With roughly 15 visitors scrutinizing their every move, Bristol planners at a Tuesday meeting approved two maps for the land-use section of the new town plan that indicate where gravel extraction would be prohibited in town.
Members of the Bristol Planning Commission hope this will resolve an issue that has long divided the town and enable them to put an updated town plan to voters in November.
MIDDLEBURY — After almost a decade in a temporary structure, the Middlebury College Field House will get a permanent home. The field house has been housed in an inflatable dome — the "Bubble" — off South Main Street since 2003, but last weekend the college board of trustees gave the green light for a permanent replacement.

BRANDON — There will be a re-vote on Brandon's municipal budget next month.
Organizers turned in petitions containing more than the required 564 signatures to Brandon Town Clerk Bill Dick on Monday, which amounts to at least 20 percent of the electorate as required by state statute.
On Monday night, the selectboard approved a motion to warn a re-vote election for Tuesday, April 30, pending availability of the Neshobe School polling place.

The United States consumes one-fifth of all the world's coffee, making it the largest consumer in the world. But few Americans realize that agriculture workers in the coffee industry often toil in what can be described as "sweatshops in the fields." Many small coffee farmers receive prices for their coffee that are less than the costs of production, forcing them into a cycle of poverty and debt.
Global Exchange's Fair Trade Campaign's main corporate campaigns on coffee were:
Starbucks Campaign
Proctor and Gamble/Millstone Campaign (in coalition with other organizations)
Victories in both campaigns helped catalyze an explosion in consumer awareness of and demand for Fair Trade products, and triggered a domino effect in the coffee industry that brought Fair Trade to cafes and store shelves nationwide.

I love looking at gorgeous images of a white Christmas as much as anyone but being an Australian girl, these images have inspired me to love our Christmas in the Sun just as much!
This is just perfection to me - lemons are one of the most beautiful of fruits and I often buy bags of them just for decorative purposes (and they smell amazing!)
Yellow is just gorgeous for Christmas decorating in a sunny climate!
Such a pretty idea...
Hope wherever you are celebrating Christmas you are enjoying decorating your homes in readiness for enjoying this season with family and friends! T xx

Alcohol and Drug Awareness
- Alcohol Awareness
- Drug Awareness
The College of Saint Benedict seeks to encourage and sustain an academic environment that respects individual freedoms and promotes the health, safety, and welfare of its students, faculty, staff, and visitors. As adults, students, faculty, staff and visitors are expected to know and obey the applicable laws and all college rules and regulations and to be responsible for their own behavior.
- A straight shot of liquor will reach the brain and alter behavior faster than one beer or glass of wine.
- "Expectancy effects" may influence the drinking experience and influence the behavior and attitudes even with little alcohol consumption.
- An 80 proof bottle of alcohol means 40% pure alcohol.
- The body absorbs liquid at body temperature. Warm beer is closer to this temperature that cold beer, so it is absorbed faster into the blood stream.
- Blood alcohol levels of .45 can cause death by respiratory arrest.
- Exercise, coffee, and showers will not speed up the sobering process.
- The average person needs about one hour to completely metabolize the alcohol in one standard drink.
- Sleeping is altered after drinking all evening.
- The illegal intoxication limit in Minnesota is .08.
- A blackout is a memory loss or alcohol-induced amnesia.
Alcohol's Effect Upon The Body
A number of factors can affect the level of intoxication caused by alcohol.
- Speed of drinking: The more rapidly the beverage is ingested, the higher the peak blood alcohol concentration (BAC). The liver metabolizes about 1/2 ounce of alcohol per hour.
- Presence of food in the stomach: Eating while drinking slows down the absorption rate. When alcoholic beverages are taken with a substantial meal, peak BAC may be reduced by as much as 50%.
- Other chemicals in the beverage: The greater the amount of nonalcoholic chemicals in the beverage, the more slowly the alcohol is absorbed (e.g., vodka is absorbed more rapidly than beer or wine.)
- Body weight: The larger person has more blood and requires greater amounts of alcohol to reach a given BAC.
- Drinking history/tolerance: Increasing amounts of alcohol are needed to result in the physical and behavioral reactions formerly produced at lesser concentrations, if there is a long history of drinking.
- Environment: There may be differences in alcohol's affects, depending on where one drinks (e.g., local bar, with family, hostile environment, etc).
- The drinker's expectations: Many people become intoxicated on less alcohol merely because they have that expectation before they begin drinking.
- General state of emotional and physical health: Many people seem more susceptible to the effects of alcohol when they are extremely fatigued, have recently been ill, or are under emotional stress and strain. The usual amount of alcohol may result in uncomfortable effects.
- Other drugs: Prescription, over-the-counter, illicit, and unrecognized drugs all have potential reactions with alcohol. One should be aware of the possible additive and synergistic effects when these drugs are mixed with alcohol.
If you have questions regarding your health as related to alcohol use, please contact the CSB Health Advocates at 5753 or the Health Educator at 5653, or feel free to contact Counseling Services at CSB at 5605 (3791 at SJU).
Typically, students are responsible about alcohol use and problems do not develop. But, what if someone is drunk and an "alcohol-related emergency" does occur? What do you do? Here are some basic--but essential--procedures you can follow in a situation where someone is drunk:
- Stay calm and don't communicate any feelings of anxiety.
- Contact your RA, RD, or Campus Security for assistance and a medical assessment.
- Before approaching or touching the person, explain what you intend to do in a direct and reassuring manner.
- Keep the person still and comfortable. Don't let him or her walk unattended.
- Do not administer any food, drink, or medication--including aspirin or vitamins. Consumption of such materials may cause stomach distress.
- Do not ridicule or threaten the person.
- Do not let the person sleep on his or her back. Death from choking on inhaled vomit may result. Place the person on his or her side, with one arm extended above the head.
- Keep a sober person nearby to watch for signs of trouble.
- The person is unconscious and cannot be wakened
- Breathing is irregular and/or shallow
- You suspect that alcohol has been mixed with other drugs
- His or her skin is clammy, pale, or grey in color
- The person vomits while passed out and does not wake up during or after, or the person cannot care for themselves if they vomit
IF YOU ARE UNCERTAIN IF A MEDICAL EMERGENCY EXISTS, CONTACT CAMPUS SECURITY RIGHT AWAY (extension x5000) FOR A MEDICAL ASSESSMENT.
Notice To All Students
The use of illegal drugs poses both a health risk and a risk of criminal prosecution. The use, sale, possession, or facilitation of the use or sale of any illegal drug(s) is prohibited. Violations could result in arrest by the St. Joseph Police Department or other law enforcement agency and/or referral to the College Judicial Board for discipline or dismissal.
The College of Saint Benedict has a special obligation to take action in cases in which a student's illegal activities impinge on the rights of others. All students have the right to pursue an education in an environment conducive to the educational process. Drug use or the sale of drugs on College of Saint Benedict property affects other people as well as yourself. Responsible officials at the College of Saint Benedict include administration, deans, faculty, staff, other students, campus security officers, residence directors, and residence assistants. These people cannot ignore such activity.
At the same time, you should be aware that our goal is to solve problems, not create them. We do not want to punish people for the sake of punishment; we would prefer to work with students to create an atmosphere on campus that is mature, responsible and safe. In particular, if you feel you have a problem involving drugs and need help with it, please do not hesitate to consult any of us about it: your resident assistant, your residence director, the dean of students, counseling services, health educators, health advocates, campus ministry, or campus security. If you feel that another student is at risk medically or academically because of substance abuse, please consider the possibility that you could be doing him or her a favor by discussing it with them or one of us before a small problem becomes a big one.
For additional information about health risks of various recreational drugs, contact the health advocates at 5753 or a health educator at 5653.
Rohypnol and Rape Drugs
What should I know about Rohypnol and GHB? Rapists are using a new weapon to overpower their victims.
Don't be a victim! Contact CSB Campus Security at x5000 or St. Joseph Police Department at (320)363-8250
Roofies, Roaches, La Rocha, Rope Rib Roche, Ruffies, Mexican Valium, R-2 or Roach 2. Although it is legally prescribed in some countries, it is illegal in the United States.
"Roofie-Rape" involves spiking a person's drink with Rohypnol and then raping the person.
Most frequently white (sometimes light brown), odorless tablet is slipped into a victim's beverage without leaving a trace.
The sedative effects of a 2mg dose of Rohypnol may begin to surface within 20 to 30 minutes after ingestion.
Some common signs of Rohypnol intoxication are:
- drowsiness or sleep
- less inhibited behavior
- amnesia or total memory loss
- dizziness
- disorientation or confusion
- impaired motor skills
- Don't drink beverages that you did not open yourself.
- Don't share or exchange drinks with someone.
- Don't take a drink from a punch bowl.
- Don't drink from a container that is passed around.
- If possible, bring your own drinks to parties.
- Never leave your drink unattended! Whether talking, dancing, using the restroom, making a phone call, etc., keep your drink in your hand or closeby.
- If you realize that your drink has been left unattended, discard it.
- Don't drink anything that has an unusual taste or appearance (e.g., salty taste, excessive foam, unexplained residue).
- Don't let your guard down.
- Stay in the company of good friends.
- Use good judgment and know your limitations.
- If you feel a lot more intoxicated than your usual response to the amount of alcohol you consumed.
- If you wake up very hung over, feeling "fuzzy", experiencing memory lapse, and cannot account for a period of time.
- If you remember taking a drink but cannot recall what happened for a period of time after you consumed the drink.
- If you feel as though someone had sex with you but you cannot remember any or all of the incident.
- Appoint a designated sober person when you go to parties, clubs, or bars. Have a plan to periodically check up on each other
- If one of your friends appears to be very intoxicated, gets sick after drinking a beverage, passes out and is difficult to awaken, seems to have difficulty breathing, or is behaving in an uncharacteristic way, take steps to ensure your friends safety. If necessary, call 911 for emergency medical assistance.
- If you see or hear that someone is "dosing" a drink or a punch bowl, intervene. Confront the person, warn potential victims, discard the drink, and get help.
- Warn friends about high risk situations, such as clubs where "dosing" is known to have occurred
- Get to a safe place.
- Get help immediately
- Call the Police, SJPD, and Stearns County Sheriff at 911
- Call CSB Campus Security at x5000 or SJU Life Safety at x2144
- Get Medical Care
- Go to a hospital emergency department as soon as possible for an examination and evidence collection. Call the St. Cloud hospital at (320)251-4357
- Request that the hospital take a urine sample for blood toxicology testing to be done by your law enforcement agency's crime lab. A special test must be done to detect Rohypnol in a urine specimen.
- Preserve as much physical evidence as possible. Do not urinate, shower, bathe, douche, or throw away the clothing you were wearing during the incident. If possible, save any materials that might provide evidence, such as the glass that held your drink.

ALBUQUERQUE, NM — Personal training clients may be one step closer to receiving insurance reimbursement for their sessions. The National Board of Fitness Examiners (NBFE) plans to submit ABC terminology and code requests to have personal training services included in the ABC Coding Manual for Integrative Healthcare for 2006, said Dr. Sal Arria, founder of NBFE. Alternative Link, an Albuquerque company, created ABC codes for documentation of services as well as electronic insurance billing.
Doctors file claims to health insurance companies using current procedural terminology (CPT) codes developed by the American Medical Association to document the services and procedures they perform. However, CPT often does not provide billing codes representative of integrative health care, according to Alternative Link. For example, the CPT codes offer just one code for massage therapy even though many types of massage can be performed — each of which vary in cost and level of practitioner expertise.
"ABC codes are designed to fill gaps where CPT leaves off," said Heidi Rothenberg, marketing director for Alternative Link. "We support accurate coding of what [practitioners] are providing to support research, management and commerce."
Doctors use the codes for medical record keeping, practice management and billing. Insurance companies use them to process claims and to help design and manage benefits. Research companies use the codes to help determine which treatments are most effective.
"Codes can be used for a lot of reasons, but if there aren't codes, it is hard to get your service added to insurance plans," said Melinna Giannini, president and founder of Alternative Link.
That's why Arria wants personal training added to the ABC codes. "As personal trainers take on a more responsible role as allied health care professionals, their clients should get reimbursed for their visits with a personal trainer," he said.
The NBFE is setting up a directory of personal trainers who have taken the NBFE exam. Once that directory is in place, it will serve as a referral source to promote personal trainers to the medical field, Arria said.
Once referrals become more commonplace, "that becomes a shoe in for [personal training clients'] ability to get reimbursed," Arria said.
Alternative Link requested ABC codes be named a national Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act standard in June 1998. Secretary Michael Leavitt of Health and Human Services is reviewing this request.

College Football 2012 – Week Eight Recap
It was another exciting week in college football with some big games in the SEC, wild shootouts in the Big 12, record-setting performances in the PAC-12, some close calls for ranked teams and Collin Klein showing us why he's now very much in the Heisman mix.
Here are all the highlights from this week in the Top 25.
#1 Alabama 44, Tennessee 13
Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron threw for a career-high 306 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Crimson Tide to their third straight win over Tennessee, the longest such streak in this series since 1992. Alabama's defense continued its dominance, holding the Vols to just 79 rushing yards and limiting Tyler Bray, the SEC's second-leading passer, to just 184 passing yards and two interceptions. The Crimson Tide went three-and-out on its first possession, but scored on four of its next five possessions to jump out to a 23-10 halftime lead and coast to victory from there. The loss drops Tennessee to 0-14 against ranked teams under coach Derek Dooley.
#2 Oregon 43, Arizona State 21
Don't let the final score fool you—this game was not nearly that close. After spotting the Sun Devils an early seven points, Oregon responded with 43 unanswered points in less than 18 minutes to put the game away early in the second quarter. Running back Kenjon Barner rushed for 143 yards and three touchdowns. With the Ducks rolling up 406 rushing yards, quarterback Marcus Mariota didn't have to do much (just 46 passing yards), but was still heavily involved, scoring a rushing, passing and receiving touchdown. This was Oregon's eighth straight win over Arizona State and its nations-best 12th straight road victory.
#3 Florida 44, #9 South Carolina 11
Gators quarterback Jeff Driskel only threw for 93 yards, but made them count, tossing four touchdowns as Florida rolled over former coach Steve Spurrier to end a two-game losing streak to the Gamecocks. The Gators defense continued to play well, holding South Carolina to just 191 total yards (36 rushing). In one of the strangest stats you'll see this year, thanks a series of South Carolina special teams miscues, Florida held a 21-3 halftime lead despite managing just 29 total yards. Florida finished with just 183 total yards, becoming the first FBS team this century to score 40+ points while gaining less than 200 yards.
#4 Kansas State 55, #17 West Virginia 14
Wildcat quarterback Collin Klein moved himself to the top of the Heisman list and his team squarely into title contention with seven touchdowns (four rushing, three passing) and a career-high 323 passing yards. Kansas State scored on its first eight possessions, jumping out to a 52-7 lead late in the third quarter. After rolling up huge numbers the first several weeks of the season, Geno Smith and the West Virginia offense were held in check for the second straight week. Smith managed just 143 yards and a touchdown while throwing his first two interceptions of the season and West Virginia was held to just 243 total yards. The Mountaineers' 155 passing yards was the lowest total for any unit coached by Dana Holgorson as either a head coach or coordinator (dating back to 2005).
#5 Notre Dame 17, Brigham Young 14
BYU scored two second quarter touchdowns in less than three minutes after Notre Dame had not given up a touchdown since Week Two. But from that point on, the Fighting Irish regained their form, holding the Cougars to just 243 total yards (66 rushing) and forcing two turnovers. On offense, Notre Dame got another strong game from its running back tandem of Cierre Wood and Theo Riddick, who combined for 257 yards on the ground.
#6 Louisiana State 24, #20 Texas A&M 19
LSU's defense showed why they're still very much in the national title mix, forcing five Aggie turnovers and holding A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, the SEC's leading rusher, to just 27 yards on the ground. Texas A&M was hot early, jumping out to a 12-0 lead before the Tigers responded with 24 unanswered points to put the game away. Freshman Jeremy Hill rushed for a career-high 127 yards and a touchdown for LSU. This was the seventh time in the last two years that A&M lost a game it had led by double digits, the most in FBS.
#7 Ohio State 29, Purdue 22 (OT)
The Buckeyes survived two scares Saturday, as they held on to win in overtime while getting some good news about the health of star quarterback Braxton Miller. Miller left the game with a head/neck injury in the third quarter. He was rushed to the hospital, but was ultimately released when it was determined he had not suffered a concussion or other significant injury. In his absence, backup quarterback Kenny Guiton rallied the Buckeyes for the tying touchdown and two-point conversion with just three seconds left to force overtime. Without Miller, running back Carlos Hyde picked up the slack for the Ohio State offense, rushing for 91 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner in overtime.
#8 Oregon State 21, Utah 7
Beavers running back Storm Woods only gained 47 yards on 17 carries, but he made the most of his touches, scoring all three of Oregon State's touchdowns. Oregon State's offense struggled much of the night (just 227 total yards) and allowed Utah to hang around, trailing by just seven until midway through the fourth quarter. But the Beavers' defense came up big, holding the Utes to 307 yards and forcing four turnovers. This is the Beavers' first 6-0 start since 1907.
#10 Oklahoma 52, Kansas 7
Special teams came up big for Oklahoma, as the Sooners got a punt return and a kick return for touchdowns in the same game for the first time in school history. Quarterback Landry Jones' hot play continued with 291 yards and three touchdowns in a win over a hapless Jayhawks team that has now lost 16 straight road games. Oklahoma is now 14-0 under Bob Stoops in the game immediately following the Red River Rivalry against Texas.
#11 Southern Cal 50, Colorado 6
Matt Barkley threw for 298 yards and six touchdowns, moving him past Matt Leinart for the school and PAC-12 records for career touchdown passes. Receiver Robert Woods caught eight passes (moving him past Dwayne Jarrett for the school record for receptions) for 132 yards and four touchdowns (a school single-game record). Colorado's offensive woes continued, as the Buffs managed 351 total yards but turned the ball over six times. CU is winless in its last 19 road games against ranked teams.
#12 Florida State 33, Miami 20
Florida State got off to a shaky start, spotting the Hurricanes a 10-0 lead, before going on a 33-3 run to put the game away. The Seminoles fumbled on two of their first three possessions before the offense finally got in sync and began rolling. With Florida State clinging to a three point lead in the fourth quarter, running back Devonta Freeman rushed for two touchdowns as part of a 21-0 run in the final period. After being listed as doubtful most of the week, Miami quarterback Stephen Morris got the start for the Hurricanes, but wasn't a big factor in the game, going 25/43 for 223 yards, one touchdown and one interception. On the day, the Seminoles outgained Miami 447-258.
#13 Georgia 29, Kentucky 24
Bulldogs quarterback Aaron Murray threw for 427 yards and four touchdowns, moving him past David Greene for the school record for career touchdown passes. However, this game was closer than most expected. Kentucky actually took the lead early in the third quarter and Georgia was up by just five points seven minutes into the fourth quarter. Georgia has now won 14 of the last 16 in this series.
#14 Clemson 38, Virginia Tech 17
After struggling for much of the season, Clemson's defense stepped up with its strongest game of the year, forcing four turnovers, returning an interception for a touchdown and giving up the fewest points they have to any FBS opponent this season. The Tigers offense didn't have their strongest showing, tallying just 295 total yards, but got a nice game from running back Andre Ellington with 96 yards and a touchdown. This is the first time in 20 years that Virginia Tech has four losses before the end of October. Clemson has now won 11 straight home games, its longest such streak since 1989-91.
#15 Mississippi State 45, Middle Tennessee 3
Mississippi State's offense struggled in the first half, leading just 10-3 at halftime, before exploding for 21 unanswered points during a six-minute span in the third quarter to blow the game open. Bulldogs quarterback Tyler Russell threw for 191 yards and three touchdowns and running back LaDarius Perkins added 125 yards and a score on the ground to pace the MSU offense. Middle Tennessee is now 0-14 against ranked teams since making the jump to FBS in 1999.
#16 Louisville 27, South Florida 25
South Florida scored 15 straight points in a five minute stretch of the fourth quarter to take a 25-21 lead before Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater led the Cardinals on an eight-play, 75-yard drive for the game-winning score with just 1:35 to play. Bridgewater did it all for Louisville, throwing for 256 yards and two touchdowns while also leading the team with 74 rushing yards. This was Louisville's fourth straight home win, it's longest such winning streak since a 20-game run from 2003-07.
#18 Texas Tech 56, Texas Christian 53 (3OT)
After throwing for six touchdowns against West Virginia last week, Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege picked up where he left off, throwing for 318 yards and a career-high seven touchdowns in a triple overtime thriller. TCU's offense actually outgained the Red Raiders 516-389, but the Horned Frogs turned the ball over three times and had trouble finding the end zone with kicker Jaden Oberkrom making a Big 12-record six field goals. In his second start, TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin threw for 332 yards and four touchdowns, but threw two interceptions, one of which led to seven Red Raider points. This was the first time in five tries that Texas Tech had won a game immediately following an upset of a ranked opponent.
#19 Rutgers 35, Temple 10
Temple actually led 10-0 at halftime before the Scarlet Knights regrouped and rolled off 35 unanswered in the second half to remain unbeaten. Rutgers quarterback Gary Nova threw for 232 yards and four touchdowns while running back Jawan Jamison added 195 total yards and a score to spark the second half rally. Once again, the Rutgers defense was solid, holding Temple to just 191 total yards and forcing three turnovers, including a fumble that was returned for the game's final touchdown.
Toledo 29, #21 Cincinnati 23
For the third week in a row, Cincinnati got off to a slow start and, this time, it finally caught up with them. Toledo jumped out to an early 13-0 lead thanks to two field goals and a 75-yard interception return touchdown in the game's first 16 minutes. Toledo kicker Jeremiah Detmer made five field goals and Toledo got a 91-yard kickoff return touchdown late in the third quarter, helping the Rockets become just the third team in the last eight years to top 20 points against a ranked opponent without scoring an offensive touchdown. Toledo is now riding its first seven-game winning streak since 2001.
#22 Stanford 21, California 3
Stepfan Taylor rushed for a career-high 189 yards and a touchdown as the Stanford offense rolled up 475 total yards to help the Cardinal win their third straight Big Game over their archrivals from Berkeley. The Stanford defense was equally impressive, sacking Cal quarterback Zach Maynard four times, forcing three turnovers, holding the Bears to just three rushing yards and limiting them to 1-of-14 on third-down conversions. Stanford has now won three in a row in this series after dropping seven of the previous eight.
#23 Michigan 12, Michigan State 10
Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson certainly didn't have his greatest game (163 yards passing, 96 rushing and no scores), but he made the plays when he needed to, leading the Wolverines on an eight-play, 41-yard drive to set up the game-winning field goal with just five seconds left. Credit must also go to the Michigan defense, which held Spartans running back LeVeon Bell to just 68 yards and no touchdowns on 26 carries. The win snapped the Wolverines' four-game losing streak in this series, and also made Michigan the first college football program in history to record 900 all-time wins.
#24 Boise State 32, UNLV 7
The Broncos' defense continued their dominance, holding the Rebels to 210 total yards (71 passing), forcing three turnovers, returning a fumble for a touchdown and holding the UNLV offense scoreless (the Rebels' only points came on a defensive score in the fourth quarter). The Broncos have won 47 straight games in the month of October, a streak dating back to 2001.
#25 Ohio Bye
After joining the AP rankings for the first time since 1968, the Bobcats got a week off to prepare for next week's matchup with Miami (OH).

Boston-based artist Jenine Shereos who we've featured in the past for her amazing series of leaves made from human hair. her amazing series of leaf forms made from human hair. Her more recent work revisits the idea of human-manipulated nature with "De/constructed Lace," a site-specific installation series of knit-lace that mimics spiderwebs.
In Marnay-Sur-Seine, France she draped the knit threads in windows and doorways, looking like massive, delicate spiderwebs, echoing the white lace curtains in many local homes. The works are not perfect, Charlotte's Web creations, but looser, more organic forms. Shereos says on her website:
"This installation of knit-lace is suspended in a state of unraveling. The process of its making and unmaking are one and the same."
In Boston, she worked with black thread and crystals, allowing her web-like art to cast filigreed shadows on the wall amid flickering rainbows from the hanging crystal. The webs are more ominous in black, connecting to walls and windows and floor with fine strands.
"Some of these site-specific works are installed for a period of weeks for viewers to interact with, and others function as a sort of ephemeral, private performance existing afterwards in documentation. Oftentimes, collaborations intended or unintended arise within the environment; a spider spins its delicate webs from the white strands of thread suspended in an unraveling knit curtain, fibrous fragments of seaweed become embedded within a structure of knit fibers, or an array of rainbows flicker amidst white walls and black curtains."
By co-opting the aesthetics of the natural world, Shereos creates a conscious interaction with the structure of the landscape or the architecture surrounding her art, uniting real and surreal, natural and constructed, fluidity and stillness.

You gotta love it when folks try something new, and that's certainly the case with The Penguin Music Festival, which is coming to Castle Street on June 1. The area hosts the occasional festival but never a big concert, so it will be fun to see (and hear) something different going down on the up-and-coming stretch near downtown.
The Penguin radio station, 98.3 FM, is bringing six quality acts to town: headliners Railroad Earth, songwriting favorite Todd Snider (pictured), jamsters Acoustic Syndicate, the highly respected Randall Bramblett Band, local boys L Shape Lot and opening act Lipbone Redding, who's a frequent visitor to the Port City. For more details, check a blog post I did a few weeks back that contains video of all the performers or go to the Penguin's event page for ticket info and more details.
To enter a random drawing for a pair of tickets, which the Penguin's Beau Gunn has been kind enough to provide our readers, leave a comment with this post telling me what area concert you're most looking forward to this summer and why. I'll pick one winner, notify them via email and do another post here when the tix have been claimed. Check here for complete contest rules.
Best of luck!

WEST UNION, Iowa, Nov. 24 (UPI) -- Authorities said they were still looking for a fifth suspect in the abduction of an Iowa man who was beaten and left naked.
KCRG-TV, Cedar Rapids, reported Saturday Tyler J. Williams, 18, Tory A. Gibson, 19, William J. Newton, 19, and Cody L. Caldwell, 22, all of West Union, were in custody on first-degree kidnapping charges. Authorities said Curtis A. Williams, uncle of Tyler, was still at-large. He is wanted for first-degree kidnapping and first-degree burglary.
They are accused of abducting Allen M. Denni, 29, from his West Union residence Tuesday, taking him outside of town, beating him and leaving him unclothed, KCRG-TV said.
Denni was hospitalized, but his condition had not been disclosed.

Snarl, the Cigar Box Frackle, appeared in the 1970 Christmas special The Great Santa Claus Switch as one of Cosmo Scam's henchmen. In one scene, he pops out of a cigar box to hand Cosmo Scam his cigar. Later, he appears in Santa's workshop as one of the Frackles who take the Elves' place.
By 1974, this puppet rose from the ranks of the Frackles and became a character in his own right. In 1976 he was reworked and renamed Gonzo, and the rest is history.
Snarl is the only Frackle who asks Santa for a present during the special at the beginning: A baseball mitt.

Don't Break My Heart is a wearable, colour-coded distance warning system prototype for cyclists to wear on their back. It incorporates a sewable LilyPad Arduino microcontroller, RGB LED, proximity sensor, conductive thread and fabrics to create an easily Velcro-ed on and off (moveable between garments & bags) and highly visible alert for traffic traveling behind cyclists.
A pulsating RGB LED heart is triggered by a proximity sensor if a vehicle is detected traveling close behind. I've used traffic light colour-coding for the super-bright RGB LED: a slow green pulsating light in the heart-shaped diffuser indicates a safe distance is being maintained, an amber faster light indicates that caution should be observed and a red rapidly pulsating light indicates to the driver that they need to back off and give the cyclist some space. As this is a prototype at the ideas stage, safe distances and final technology, such as sonar for proximity detection and other materials/components would be tested and confirmed later in the design process.
I created the first iteration of this piece of wearable tech at Hondahack within a 12 hour deadline. I wasn't happy with the look of it just because I'd rushed to kludge it together for the presentations, so after and when I had the time, I unpicked the conductive thread and components, and put it back together.
For those interested, here's my write up of my weekend at Hondahack
Held at the Guardian offices in November 2011 and brought together by the fabulous Rewired State people, Hondahack was a different kind of hack day than any I'd attended before as it was totally sponsored by Honda as part of their 'Dream Factory' which includes a group of people they've brought together and deemed 'cultural engineers' – quoting from the page in the Graunaid it describes them as "people who embody the Honda philosophy of pushing forward and venturing into the unknown".
One had to apply for a place at the hack weekend and twenty-three were selected, of which three were women, which is typical of hack days – more often than not because not very many women apply to attend these events.
The article in the Guardian about the event describes the attendees as 'developers', and as it was wrapped up in future publicity for Honda there was a camera crew who created a set of fancy videos capturing much posing of the Honda 'cultural engineers' around the Guardian offices and also contained sound bites from the attendees, which you can watch here.
On the first morning we introduced ourselves and were shown some Honda motivational videos, we were then encouraged to openly brainstorm ideas and form teams. We then went and looked at the new Honda Civic car in the Graunaid car park, this took us up to lunchtime and after it was time to get hacking. Oh yes, we were given these values assigned to the new car to consider as a brief / guide for our hacks…
"If we never venture into the unknown, how do we get anywhere new?"
- Quality: unparalleled reliability: 'A class above'
- Technology: intelligent, useful, innovative, 'as standard', economical clean
Design: sporty + versatile, intuitive, personality, stand-out, confident, aerodynamic
- Evolution: quiet + comfortable, refinement, honing of everything
My hack was a hardware hack, which is strangely still pretty much an anomaly at hack days, so I didn't really expect it to win anything, plus many of the other attendees were creating vehicle / cyclist warning apps. Anyway, my hack was a prototype for a wearable distance warning system for cyclists to wear on their back that was Velcro on-and-offable. It used a traffic light LED system to indicate to traffic traveling behind of their proximity.
Here's my description that I wrote on the day… http://hacks.rewiredstate.org/events/power-of-minds/don-t-break-my-heart
"London can be a daunting and scary place for a cyclist. Here in Kings Cross we have seen many cyclists hurt or killed on the roads, in London and all over the UK visibility for cyclists is an issue. My hack for Hondahack is a piece of wearable technology using LilyPad Arduino, RGB LED, proximity sensor, conductive thread and fabrics to create an easily velcro-ed on and off and highly visable alert for traffic traveling behind cyclists. A pulsating RGB LED heart is triggered by a proximity sensor if something is travelling close behind it. A green calm pulsating heart indicates a safe distance is maintained, an amber faster heart indicates that caution should be observed and a red rapidly pulsating heart indicates to the driver that they need to back off and give the cyclist some space."
I created my hack in less than 12 hours and as I didn't have the relevant components at Hondahack, I had to go home and get them. So I breadboarded / crocodile clipped a prototype, wrote some code and was up and soldering at 7.30am on Sunday before I went back to the Graunaid where I spent all day furiously sewing my e-textiles, wearable hack together with conductive thread before the presentations at 3pm. I wouldn't have stopped and eaten all day if it hadn't been for Emma Mulqueeny, who very kindly made me a tasty vegan risotto and reminded me to eat it – which I wolfed down when it was placed in front of me.
My hack called 'Don't Break My Heart' didn't win any prizes, but it was nice to get an honourable mention from one of the judges in the summing up. All the winners and hacks are here on this handy page – far easier to browse than me writing them all out for you.
A few weeks after Hondahack I was really pleased to hear that Honda decided they were not going to keep the IP for all the hacks (which at first seemed to be the case).

Student Loan Debt Clock Reaches $1 Trillion
Mark Kantrowitz / Publisher of Fastweb and FinAid
May 11, 2012
The student loan debt clock reached the $1 trillion milestone at about 6:40 am ET on Tuesday, May 8, 2012.
Although the student loan debt clock is for entertainment purposes only, reaching this milestone demonstrates that student loan debt is a macroeconomic factor, with the potential to affect the economy, albeit modestly at present. Student loan debt will not derail the economy the way mortgage debt did, because student loan debt outstanding is about a tenth the size of the mortgage marketplace. Total annual student loan payments are only about 0.4% of GDP. But students who borrow too much have a tendency to delay lifecycle events, such as getting married, having children, buying a car, buying a home, saving for their children's college education and saving for retirement. As the amount of debt and interest rates increase, a greater percentage of family income must be devoted to repaying student loans instead of other priorities.
Accordingly, there is a clear need for better tracking of total student loan debt outstanding and better analysis of the impact. For example, there is a lack of agreement on just how much student loan debt is outstanding.
• The Federal Reserve's G.19 report lists $453.3 billion in education debt as of February 2012. This figure reports just federal loans held by the federal government. It does not include federal loans held by private lenders nor does it include private student loans.
• The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) reported on March 21, 2012 that total student loan debt outstanding exceeded $1 trillion in late 2011. The CFPB figures, which are based on a survey of education lenders, include capitalized interest, while the student loan debt clock does not. The student loan debt clock bases total federal student loan debt outstanding on figures from the federal budget, which does not include capitalized interest. The student loan debt clock bases total private student loan debt outstanding on a repayment trajectory model, which does include capitalized interest. Student loans are unique among forms of consumer debt in that most students defer repaying the loans while they are still in school. If the borrower does not pay the interest as it accrues, it is capitalized (added to the loan balance), usually once when the loan enters repayment.
• The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) estimated in the quarterly Household Credit report that total education debt outstanding reached $867 billion in Q4 of 2011. The FRBNY figures are based on a statistical sample of Equifax credit report data. Although Equifax has corrected errors in the classification of student loan debt, there may still be issues with the aging of the consumer panel that was used to sample the Equifax data. Even a slight shift in the age distribution of the panel toward older consumers may be enough to overlook about $100 billion in recently disbursed student loan debt.
The nature of student loan debt is sufficiently different than other forms of consumer credit that it should be tracked separately.
It is unclear how one should celebrate the $1 trillion milestone. Somehow, greeting one another with "Happy Student Debt Day" doesn't seem appropriate.
Perhaps this occasion should be marked by a review of several tips on ways to minimize student loan debt.

An asymptotic preserving numerical scheme (with respect to diffusion scalings) for a linear transport equation is investigated. The scheme is adopted from a class of recently developped schemes. Stability is proven uniformly in the mean free path under a CFL type condition turning into a parabolic CFL condition in the diffusion limit.
Discretizations for the Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations based on the Lattice Boltzmann Method (1999)
A discrete velocity model with spatial and velocity discretization based on a lattice Boltzmann method is considered in the low Mach number limit. A uniform numerical scheme for this model is investigated. In the limit, the scheme reduces to a finite difference scheme for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation which is a projection method with a second order spatial discretization on a regular grid. The discretization is analyzed and the method is compared to Chorin's original spatial discretization. Numerical results supporting the analytical statements are presented.
In this paper we present a domain decomposition approach for the coupling of Boltzmann and Euler equations. Particle methods are used for both equations. This leads to a simple implementation of the coupling procedure and to natural interface conditions between the two domains. Adaptive time and space discretizations and a direct coupling procedure leads to considerable gains in CPU time compared to a solution of the full Boltzmann equation. Several test cases involving a large range of Knudsen numbers are numerically investigated.
An asymptotic-induced scheme for nonstationary transport equations with thediffusion scaling is developed. The scheme works uniformly for all ranges ofmean free paths. It is based on the asymptotic analysis of the diffusion limit ofthe transport equation. A theoretical investigation of the behaviour of thescheme in the diffusion limit is given and an approximation property is proven.Moreover, numerical results for different physical situations are shown and atheuniform convergence of the scheme is established numerically.
Convergence of Alternating Domain Decomposition Schemes for Kinetic and Aerodynamic Equations (1994)
A Numerical Method for Computing Asymptotic States and Outgoing Distributions for Kinetic Linear Half-Space Problems (1994)
Linear half-space problems can be used to solve domain decomposition problems between Boltzmann and aerodynamic equations. A new fast numerical method computing the asymptotic states and outgoing distributions for a linearized BGK half-space problem is presented. Relations with the so-called variational methods are discussed. In particular, we stress the connection between these methods and Chapman-Enskog type expansions.
A nonequilibrium situation governed by kinetic equations with strongly contrasted Knudsen numbers in different subdomains is discussed. We consider a domain decomposition problem for Boltzmann- and Euler equations, establish the correct coupling conditions and prove the validity of the obtained coupled solution. Moreover numerical examples comparing different types of coupling conditions are presented.
We consider the numerical computation of nonlinear functionals of distribution functions approximated by point measures. Two methods are described and estimates for the speed of convergence as the number of points tends to infinity are given. Moreover numerical results for the entropy functional are presented.

Tim Hudson, CTO Cryptsoft and Mark Minnoch from SafeLogic.
In July 2016, OpenSSL announced the commencement of a fresh attempt to do a FIPS validation of OpenSSL. There are over 244 validated products on the NIST list that obviously use OpenSSL in their validation boundaries and it's included in most (all?) operating systems - it's pervasive! So, why is it so hard to validate? It starts out as open source with lots of competitors/stakeholders interested in it.
Unfortunately, stakeholder goals and project goals do not always align. For example, the project wants to support many platforms - stakeholders want to focus on only one or two. The same goes for the number of algorithms supported and validated.
Previously, FIPS140 work was effectively entirely funded for the OpenSSL project from 2009-2014, as there was no long term or major sponsor at this time. The sponsors funding OpenSSL FIPS all had different goals (other than wanting to sell into the US government), which made it very difficult to manage. This is a hard project, with many people yelling at you with different goals and wasn't very rewarding - can't just expect people to do this for "fun". [note: yes, nothing about FIPS is "fun" - practical, yes, but not fun]
The first validation was very painful for the developers, so OpenSSL knows they have to do it differently if they are ever going to do it again. OpenSSL started their first FIPS 140-2 validation in June 2002, certificates were not received until March 2006!
There have been a total of 9 unique validations, to keep up with new hardware platforms and implementation guidance changes.
The OpenSSL FIPS 1.0 module based off of the OpenSSL-0.9.x is no longer usable, there is still a bit of life left in OpenSSL FIPS 2.0 module (#1747, #2389, #2437) as it is based off of the OpenSSL-1.0.x code. But, a major update is required for a new OpenSSL FIPS module to work with OpenSSL-1.1.x. For this go round, goal is to make the FIPS140 related changes "less intrusive".
Current validations cover dozens (hundreds?) of platforms (OS vs hardware).
For the new validation, the only current sponsor is SafeLogic, but additional sponsors are needed to fund OpenSSL FIPS development and FIPS lab testing - resources are available now to begin work.
This is a high risk validation, many people will be watching the validation which means people are cautious to enter - which creates a longer timeline. Keep in mind that TLS 1.3 is only available in OpenSSL 1.1.x, so if that's important to your customers, consider helping out financially to get this project going.
It's hard to get the sponsors on board, as they all want to see another sponsor already on board and to share the cost, but they still want to wield great influence over the work.
If this project doesn't happen, there are fewer options for FIPS libraries and will require you to do more of your own FIPS work. Taking multiple versions from different companies through CAVP/CMVP is a waste of their resources as well. Also, if everyone develops independently, the federal government will end up with inconsistent implementations.
Originally team was going to work on FIPS 140-2 work before TLSv1.3, but swapped the priorities. That was easier to get a sponsor for, as it's well defined project and now the FIPS work can happen with the TLSv1.3 in place.
OpenSSL has refactored algorithm testing approach and want to better support embedded systems, and do better with entropy generation. Need to pick up extra NIST work and try to take SHA3 through CAVP/CMVP.
Will continue to look at improvements to POST (like defining what it means for software). Also considering add ChaCha/Poly1305.
Currently cannot commit to many requested features, just due to trying to keep a reasonable timeline. The current schedule estimate from "start" to certificate is 18months, based on their experience taking other modules through.
Please consider sponsoring this project so it can get off of the ground!

Martin Pfinsgraff Named Acting Head of Large Bank Supervision
WASHINGTON — The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency announced today that Martin Pfinsgraff would become acting Senior Deputy Comptroller for Large Bank Supervision, succeeding Michael L. Brosnan who will become Examiner-in-Charge of Zions Bank.
Comptroller of the Currency Thomas J. Curry said he had initially been surprised by Mr. Brosnan's decision to seek a new assignment, but understood why he had made the request.
"Mike rejoined the OCC in 2008, in the darkest days of the financial crisis, and served with distinction, first as Deputy Comptroller and then as Senior Deputy Comptroller for Large Bank Supervision," said Mr. Curry. "He worked long days, grappled with the toughest decisions that confronted bank supervisors anywhere in the world, and contributed greatly to the healing of the industry.
"Now that we are moving beyond the crisis, I can understand why Mike was interested in moving into a new position," Mr. Curry added, "but I was very concerned about finding someone of Mike's caliber to replace him. I was pleased that Marty Pfinsgraff agreed to take on these new responsibilities."
Mr. Pfinsgraff, a Deputy Comptroller for Credit and Market Risk, joined the OCC from iJet International, a worldwide risk management company, where he was Chief Operating Officer. Previously, he served as Treasurer of Prudential Insurance Company and as Managing Director of Prudential Investment Corporation.
"Marty has deep experience in the kinds of complex risk management issues that are so important to large bank supervision these days," Mr. Curry said.
Mr. Curry said he had been surprised at Mr. Brosnan's request for a new assignment, but was pleased that he wanted to stay at the OCC.
"Since taking office as Comptroller, I have been extremely impressed with the dedication of OCC employees and the loyalty they feel for the agency," the Comptroller said. "I think it speaks volumes about the OCC's culture and traditions that we are able to attract and retain senior executives of the caliber of Marty and Mike."
Mr. Brosnan rejoined the OCC in 2008 from Bank of America, where he served as the Enterprise Operational Risk Executive. He also served as the Risk Manager for the Global Technology and Operations, Chief Administrative Office, and Supplier Risk Management organizations of the bank. Mr. Brosnan previously served as Compliance Executive for Bank of America Card Services, and he oversaw the Operational Risk Management Division of MBNA America.
Before joining MBNA (which subsequently was acquired by Bank of America) in 2004, Mr. Brosnan spent 21 years with the OCC. In 2003, he was named Senior National Bank Examiner, the highest honor and designation available to bank examiners.
In previous roles at the OCC, Mr. Brosnan served as Deputy Comptroller for Risk Evaluation and as Director of Treasury and Market Risk. He also served as Chairman of the OCC's National Risk Committee and the OCC's Steering Committee representative on the President's Working Group for Financial Markets. He first joined the OCC in 1983 in Miami, and was commissioned as a National Bank Examiner in 1986.
The OCC also announced that Darrin Benhart, one of the two Deputy Comptrollers in the Credit and Market Risk Group, would assume full responsibility for the entire group on an acting basis. Mr. Benhart had been responsible for emerging systemic risks facing the banking system. He oversaw and set policies for the Commercial and Retail Credit Policy units and Credit and Market Risk, while Mr. Pfinsgraff had managed and directed the OCC's market risk activities, the capital markets information gathering activities, and credit and market risk policy formulation.
These changes will take effect over the next month.

A former stockbroker has pleaded guilty in San Diego to a role in alleged insider trading by a former senior executive at Qualcomm Inc.
Gary Yin pleaded guilty Tuesday to one count of conspiracy in an agreement with prosecutors that limits his sentence to a maximum of five years in federal prison. The 54-year-old former Merrill Lynch broker says he set up an account in the British Virgin Islands for Jing Wang, the wireless technology company's former president of global business operations.
Yin says he arranged for his client to buy stock in Qualcomm and an acquisition target during 2010 and 2011. Prosecutors say Wang profited nearly $250,000 from three purchases based on company news before it became public.
Wang pleaded not guilty Monday to insider trading and other charges.

- The
ROOTsystem provides a set of OO frameworks with all the functionality needed to handle and analyze large amounts of data in a very efficient way. Having the data defined as a set of objects, specialized storage methods are used to get direct access to the separate attributes of the selected objects, without having to touch the bulk of the data. Included are histograming methods in an arbitrary number of dimensions, curve fitting, function evaluation, minimization, graphics and visualization classes to allow the easy setup of an analysis system that can query and process the data interactively or in batch mode, as well as a general parallel processing framework,
PROOF, that can considerably speed up an analysis. Thanks to the built-in
CINTC++ interpreter the command language, the scripting, or macro, language and the programming language are all C++. The interpreter allows for fast prototyping of the macros since it removes the, time consuming, compile/link cycle. It also provides a good environment to learn C++. If more performance is needed the interactively developed macros can be compiled using a C++ compiler via a machine independent transparent compiler interface called
ACliC. The system has been designed in such a way that it can query its databases in parallel on clusters of workstations or many-core machines.
ROOTza is an open system that can be dynamically extended by linking external libraries. This makes
ROOTa premier platform on which to build data acquisition, simulation and data analysis systems.
