Best Bay bites under $50, according to Reddit
We all know the Bay Area is expensive, but when it comes to food, we also know how to get the best bang for our buck.
In 2016, San Francisco cemented its critical status as a culinary heavyweight with as many 3-star Michelin restaurants as New York City. But to enjoy the fruits of this region, one needn't dish out hundreds of dollars (a meal at French Laundry will cost you a cool $310 — without the wine).
Local Redditors took matters into their own hands to share the best restaurant meals in the Bay for under $50, but many recommendations falling far below that mark.
Sol Food in San Rafael was an obvious standout as it's worth a bridge crossing simply for the tangy homemade hot sauce.
Redditors shared some under-the-radar spots as well, like Gypsy's Trattoria Italiano in Berkeley that has the "best pasta/calzones around," according to user djmindtricks. Just be weary of the drunk Cal students soaking up cheap beer with the famed Crazy Alfredo plate – chicken, sausage, red peppers, red wine, and Alfredo sauce.
For those not on a strict meat-and-pasta diet, vegetarians were quick to divulge their favorite spots for an upscale meal, sans the tofu and nutritional yeast. "Greens is so, so good," wrote user radix. "It's like the fancy steakhouse of vegetarian food."
When push comes to shove, the forum agreed that there's one restaurant you can always count on for an affordable fix: In-N-Out Burger. Wrote user slowturtle2, "[It] probably beats 75 percent of places listed here."
The Chronicle team went in search of the best meals under $15. Read the story here.

Growing Up is Hard to do
I love being a "grown-up". Who's with me?
Maybe when you read that, some of you totally agree. Being a grown-up, it's a good life, right?
Maybe some of you don't have a clue what I'm talking about, "love being a grown-up"? "Yeah.... okay, whatever".
For others of you, who maybe have a few extra years of grown-
upness on me, you roll your eyes. "She's young, she'll figure out what it's really like in a few years".
When I talk to many individuals that have more experience than I in the "adult world", I am not gonna lie, they don't make it sound all too appealing. Maybe you know what I mean, things like;
-"Enjoy being young now, the fun isn't going to last forever".
- "Just wait until you have to get a "real Job" and have to pay "real bills"
- "Wait til' you get into the "real world"
- " Have fun now, being married and having kids is soooooo hard".
Now I am not saying your job as a "real adult" isn't hard. I know it is. But what am saying is this...
People say all these things and make statements like "young adults from my generation don't want to grow up". We are "irresponsible, selfish, immature, lazy etc"...All we care about is our cell phones, what we wear and where the next party is, right?
While I do believe there is a huge problem today with young people who are unable to see their worth and potential. I also believe we have a huge problem with "Seasoned adults" telling us the worst of being a "grown-up" and then wondering why we don't grow up. And by saying things like this you are also devaluing the problems and stresses that truly are very real for young adults today.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on all you more experienced adults out there. I am a firm believer in learning and respecting those that are older than me and have gone through life before me. But...
I will be completely open and honest. I get stressed. I have anxiety. I get tired. I get overwhelmed. (in fact, I am having to fight tears while I write this) Every once and a while I wonder if it's all worth it. Sometimes I lose motivation. Sometimes I need to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
So can I ask something of you? please?
Instead of telling me how hard life is, tell me how you got through the things you went through.
Tell me what you love about being a wife, and mother, Father, and husband.
Tell me about your first job and how it helped you become who you are today.
Tell me what you love about the job you have now.
Tell me the joys of being an adult.
I love life and I love being a "grown-up". But just like you I have struggles, as does every young adult like me. And what we need is not smart, sarcastic remarks about how "it just gets harder from here" and how "the things I am going through now are nothing compared to being a "real adult". Call me a dreamer, but I see a millennial generation full of promise, potential, and the abilities to create a better world for the next generation to come after us, But we need your help to get there. We need your look into a better and brighter future.

Charlize Theron Tells All On The Night Her Mother Shot & Killed Her Alcoholic Father
'I just pretended like it didn't happen,' the 'Atomic Blonde' actress admitted.
Charlize Theron is speaking out about the night that changed her life forever: the night her mother shot and killed her alcoholic father. In an interview with Howard Stern, the Atomic Blonde actress, who was recently linked to model Gabriel Aubry, opened up about the terrifying night and the way it's affected her life ever since. According to Charlize, she struggled to tell the story for so long because she didn't want people to think she was a victim. Charlize, who is a parent herself, admitted it wasn't until she got therapy that she started feeling comfortable telling people the truth about what happened to her father.

We're so excited to introduce a new service improvement that a lot of SafeDNS users were waiting for!
There are more than 60% HTTPS sites on the internet and its amount grows year per year. Nowadays, 81 of the top 100 sites on the web use HTTPS by default. In July 2018 Google will start labeling all sites still using unencrypted HTTP as "not secure".
The SafeDNS service successfully blocks HTTPS sites but there was no visible block page with the reason for blocking.
We have solved this issue by adding a new feature, named SafeDNS TLS.
To start using SafeDNS TLS you need to switch it on in the dashboard for necessary profiles and then download and install the root certificate on the connected devices. We described in our guide how to install the certificate. If you use SafeDNS Agent you need to update it to the latest version, which supports TLS option.
SafeDNS TLS is supported in following identification options - by IP, via SafeDNS Agent (starting from Windows 7) and OpenVPN app. SafeDNS TLS is available for Safe@Office, Hotspot Edition, and other paid plans (except Home).
We hope that the new feature of our service will be useful for you!

text: PONTE VEDRA BEACH - Fewer places in Ponte Vedra Beach will flood this hurricane season now that drainage systems have been improved, St. Johns County officials said this week."You can never say that you won't have any flooding in Florida," said Joe Stephenson, director of public works. "It's going to take time to run off, but ... we will have less flooding in fewer places and the water will run off sooner after the rain."An ongoing maintenance program has made a "visible improvement for the county," county spokeswoman Karen Pan said.In recent years, drainage work has been completed in areas that used to be prone to flooding, such as Ponte Vedra Boulevard, Solana Road and Florida A1A and Sunset and Morning Star drives, Stephenson said. Other areas, such as Canal Boulevard off Roscoe Boulevard, are in the final design stages awaiting funding for drainage improvements, he said.The county's Department of Emergency Management, which is responsible for disaster preparedness and evacuation assistance, is urging people to prepare before a storm.The county Extension Office will host a Hurricane Party on Wednesday to show people how to protect their property and how to respond to storm damage.The day will consist of educational seminars, a free lunch and a tour of the county's new Emergency Operations Center. The party will be from 10 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. at the Wind Mitigation Building, 3111 Agriculture Center Drive, St. Augustine. The program is free, but attendees must call 209-0430 to register.Weather experts have predicted 14 named storms for the 2009 hurricane season, which runs from Monday through Nov. 30.The best evacuation routes for the Ponte Vedra Beach area are Florida A1A to either Butler Boulevard or County Road 210 to U.S. 1.Ray Ashton, director of emergency management, said the county's new emergency operations center employees will be ready to answer phone calls from the public, work with the School Board to set up shelters and help people with special needs. You can call the center at 824-5550."The old facility was [built for] a categories 3 storm surge, he said. "It didn't have the square footage. The new building is 45 feet above sea level. It has very good drainage and access from the interstate."Shakaya Andres can also be reached at (904) 249-4947, ext. 6319.

HYP #5 - Avoiding and dealing with losers in a High Yield Portfolio
This is part 5 in the Stockopedia High Yield Portfolio series by Stephen Bland (HYP). Last week I compared the various methods of holding the shares in an HYP from the taxation and other angles. Also I reviewed briefly the suitability of the strategy for more elderly investors likely to be requiring immediate income, dismissing common industry advice that equities for such people ought to be avoided or minimised. In fact immediate income investors, of any age, were the original inspiration for my public launch of the approach back in 2000.
This week I'll have a look at whether shares that turn out to very poor investments from an HYP point of view can in some way be avoided by the initial selection checks. To make it clear, I will define first what constitutes a lousy share for HYP purposes. There are two main categories of lousiness but note that it is what has happened to the income with which I am principally concerned. Capital, remember, is very much secondary or irrelevant.
The worst is a share in the portfolio that has gone bust so that there is no possibility of any future income from it, the latter point being the very reason for holding it in this strategy. The capital will have been lost too.
The less worse is a share that has suspended dividend payments for a long period, a crime in the HYP world, but is still listed on the market thereby presenting the chance of income recovery at some stage. In such circumstances the share price will very likely have fallen dramatically from cost.
I am quite willing to admit that even with my very lengthy experience in the market spanning several decades, I have picked shares that have gone on to do very badly in HYPs that I have constructed. Which is not at all the same thing as saying those portfolios as a whole have done badly. Quite the contrary.
My worst examples were two banks that I selected at various stages years ago, before the financial crisis. These were Lloyds and Royal Bank of Scotland. Both have retained their listings and therefore still remain in the portfolios but have remained dividendless for many years now and their share prices are down 80-90% on cost. But it is the lack of any payout for such long periods which…

I started to get serious about investing only when I was faced by the novel prospect of inheritance lump sums needing to be intelligently placed. I could not, nor could I now, come to that, trade with borrowed money. i was invited by my bank to meet an "advisor" who attempted to sell me products, beginning with an assessment of my personal risk profile. Was I "high", "medium" or "low". Images of three bears sprang to my mind and there was a strong whiff of snake-oil so I left, to find my own way within what has now become a paying hobby.

Plea for facts? I have published regular annual reviews each November of my first public HYP launched on the The Motley Fool UK back in 2000. Now on the successor Lemon Fool site since TMF closed its boards.
In my HYP newsletter, The Dividend Letter which I launched in 2008, I publish regular annual reviews each January of all complete portfolios to date, showing performance of both income and capital (though capital is irrelevant or at best, depending on personal views, very much secondary) for each years since they were complete. I have completed six HYPs there and am currently constructing HYP7.
I think I am much more open than many other investment writers. My portfolios even include all costs and spreads, something that is often excluded from the performance claims of many tipsheets so as to enhance the results artficially over what an investor could in reality achieve.

I think if you are recommending that an investor should pick shares based on a particular set of criteria and then hold them forever regardless of events then it is incumbent on you to set out clearly what those criteria are and to demonstrate with rigorous backtesting for a sufficiently long term period (say 60 years +) that this methodology has outperformed and that there is a preponderance of statistical evidence plus enough logical explanation for the results to reasonably conclude that they are not simply coincidence or good fortune.

I'm not going to justify any further what I do, having been writing publicly and extensively about it since around the year 2000 including here on Stockopedia. My records have been published repeatedly as mentioned above and I'm not going to regurgitate it all yet again.
A further reason that back testing is invalid particularly in the case of HYPs is that it is plain impossible due to the enormous number of corporate changes with shares over time and decisons that would need to have been made with original selection and then all the mandatory alterations to the portfolio along the way. Even say five years would be very tricky to do, 60+ years would be an impossible task.
And forward testing therefore trashes back testing, even were the latter possible for HYPs, which it is not.
I took the risk of spelling out my ideas in public and then constructing portfolios in public. Had it failed I would have taken the rap but it didn't and my position has been vindicated. Not for as along as your rather outrageous demand for 60+ years admittedly, but it has now been a considerable time since my public launch and before that I had long been observing, privately, the merits of HY investing.
If you don't like the HYP strategy I advocate, or think that I am concealing the records because I have something to hide, that's your prerogative. Anyway, whatever your chosen approach I hope you are not one of that great majority who lose money in shares. There are innumerable ways to invest in equities and even amongst the much narrower field of equity income investing, mine is just one of many possibilities. But it works.

Hi Stephen
It's not for me or anyone else to pass any comment on your personal investment strategy or your approach to investing. But you do not limit your writing to sharing your personal experiences. You publish a tip sheet and you encourage people who are not sophisticated investors to follow your lead. And you make money out of those who subscribe to your services. All of that places your comments fairly and squarely in the public domain and not only invites comment but actually mandates fair and constructive criticism from those who believe your approach is based on incorrect analysis and thinking. Of whom I am one.
You seem to think that publishing your various portfolios provides evidence for the assertions on which your investment approach is based. But a moment's thought shows that it does nothing of the kind.
As I said on a previous post your approach is based on propositions which include:-
If you advocate those ideas then you should be able to provide some supporting evidence to show that they work. That does not mean making unsupported assertions, or simply publishing your own portfolio. It would for example require a comparison between the results obtained by drip feeding or pound cost averaging and those obtained by investing a single lump sum. Or comparing "strategic ignorance" based investing vs "strategic knowledge/insight" based investing.
Someone like Paul Scott bases his approach on the principles that you claim do not work. He eschews strategic ignorance in favour of strategic insights. He is assiduous in his timing. He does not hesitate to sell when the time is right. He protects his capital. His record shows that he is successful in his approach - which indicates that all of those practices work when done well. You claim they do not work. You have to do more than publish your own portfolio to make your claims stick.
Sorry to be blunt about this, but we need to look at evidence not simply rely on assertions.

I don't mind critics, been facing them since the year dot and as you suggest, writing publicly invites criticism and rightly so. Sometimes the criticism is reasonable, sometimes it proposes quite ludicrous conditions or objections, like the above demand for 60+ years of back testing which is one of the most outlandish and as I said, impossible, requirements ever proposed to me to justify what I do.
But I have no further independent evidence on HYPs specifically to add to my lengthy published record as mentioned, though there is a lot of anecdotal support from other successful long term HYPers on the Lemon Fool forum, previously the Motley Fool UK.
If all that's not good enough, there's really nothing further I can say to you and the similar minuscule few critics demanding more and more. It will have to rest there. If you don't like the HYP strategy, don't follow it and I wish you luck with whatever you do.

You are right it is not entirely mechanical. You are wrong to say my methods have not been published. Try reading the series of articles I wrote some time ago for Stockopedia, one of which is at top of this thread which follows from that article. And I wrote extensively on the subject for many years before that on the Motley Fool UK which is where I launched the HYP strategy back in 2000.

While you may think that I am wrong, I should point out that I never stated they were not published. I said that they were either not entirely mechanical OR not published. If they are not mechanical there is a degree of discretion in whether to include a stock or not, and knowledge of how stocks have performed until now may raise questions regarding whether such knowledge biased the selection during backtesting. Therefore it does not seem that backtesting could be done without inviting criticism of skewing the results.

A Case For Men's Pants
"Why?" is the question I receive most frequently on the days I decide to adorn my legs with cloth meant to adorn legs filled with more testosterone than I will ever know.
In other words, "Why are you wearing mens pants?"
Well my friends, if you must know, there is about 5 answers to that question.
1. They're Uplifting
In more was than one. Because they are so large, they quite literally have to be hoisted up past your belly button into the stratosphere in order for you not to trip over them. But also, because they are so large and ill-fitting, they're bound to make you feel small. Therefore lifting you up mentally.
2. Pockets!
The secret to why guys don't use purses is revealed! Pockets, pockets, glorious pockets! Men's pants have huge pockets! You can fit your wallet, keys, a phone, a sweater, a baby, your father, it never ends!
3. Mens Wear trend?
What better way to incorporate the menswear trend into your style than to actually wear mens clothing?
4. They're free?
Got a Dad? Brother? Boyfriend? Cousin? Mailman? Chances are they have pants that you can steal...
5. You get to...
...wear the pants.
*Cue the sarcastic drum*

New view of Ironbridge Power Station as trees are cleared
It is an icon of the Shropshire landscape, regularly snapped by photographers - but a dog walker has captured a different view of the Ironbridge Power Station, after the clearing of trees close to Benthall Edge.
Vaughan Evans, of Broseley, captured the power station from behind while out walking with friends and his dog Charlie.
He said: "Earlier this week a swathe of trees and shrubs have been cleared directly beneath the pylons and power lines behind the power station, the clearance going up and over Benthall Edge, revealing a view from the Benthall Edge wood land footpath of the site that has probably not been viewed so clearly for perhaps a couple or generations or more.
"It was still very obscured in wintertime with no leaves on the trees.
"I am never happy when any woodland is attacked with chainsaws, but do realise this type of clearance is required when trees beneath grow to heights that risk coming into contact with the lines.
"The plus side is obviously now the unobscured view from this high vantage point of the sad but forthcoming demolition of the power station."
The plant was officially switched off on November 20 2015, after 46 years of service, following an EU directive.
Under the EU, ageing plants like Ironbridge were legally limited in the emissions they can produce and its operating hours were restricted in 2008.
The EU's Large Combustion Plant Directive said the station had to end its life after passing the milestone of generating power for a total of 20,000 hours since January 1, 2008,
So far, there has been mixed reactions to the potential loss of its iconic pink cooling towers, with many saying they would miss such an iconic feature of the Ironbridge Gorge.
Councillors and groups from both Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin are hoping to work with Uniper on the future of the site, which is one of the most important in both council areas.
Owners Uniper are set to demolish a small section of the site this autumn, with the full site including the cooling towers to be cleared at the start of next year.
Conveyors 6 and 7 and the accompanying conveyor tower need to be brought down because they are deteriorating structurally, and will help make way for the future demolition.

Hear from special presenter and quality management expert and author, Denise Robitaille. Developing and managing a corrective actions process that improves your company offerings and complies with industry regulations is daunting enough without the requirement to automate it. Add in the requirement to automate the process using software, and it's difficult to know where to start. As we all know automating a bad process results in – well – a bad automated process.
There are several essential steps to ensure that corrective actions solve problems, provide value and contribute to measurable improvement. Without control and support, corrective action can deteriorate into a time-consuming waste of resources that is a detriment to your organization. This webinar will cover these best practices and how automated software can facilitate management of this process for improved effectiveness and efficiency. The steps to cover will include:
- Determining if an issue warrants a Corrective Action
- The key steps that must be included in every Corrective Action process
- Broadening your horizons, looking beyond nonconforming product
- Creating a date-driven process to improve responsiveness
- Being goal driven, what metrics to use and how to monitor them

Cote dAzur GC32 Tour
Published on 10-12-2018 10:59 AM
After the storms, torrential rain and general greyness of the last days, the Rade de Toulon was in an entirely different mood for day two of the GC32 TPM Med Cup, the final event of the GC32 Racing Tour, held with support from Toulon Provence Mediterranée and the city of Toulon.
A swell remained rolling in from the east, drummed up by the previous days strong winds, but it had decreased and conditions were otherwise those for which the Cote dAzur is world famous, with 10-15 knot winds and the sun in a clear sky.
Star of the day was unquestionably Ben Ainslie and his Americas Cup crew on board INEOS TEAM UK. The British team won three consecutive races of todays five, coming second in the remaining two. This was despite being called over early in the first race todays only race held with a reaching start (due to a wind shift, the latter four races had upwind starts).
We had a really good day, said Ainslie, the most successful Olympic sailor in history, racing on board his black catamaran with two other Olympic gold medallists Giles Scott (Finn, Rio 2016) and Australian Iain Jensen (49er, London 2012). The guys did a great job sailing the boat well and the boat handling most of the time was really good. Im pleased Giles is back, helping with some of the moding and tactical calls. It was one of those days when it clicked.
And the British sailing legend was hardly playing it safe. In the third race he port tacked the fleet at the start, crossing ahead of boats charging the British boat down, with starboard tack rights. That was a bit high risk! admitted Ainslie. It actually wasnt our plan - we meant to go behind the fleet and go out to the right, but a gap opened up so we went for it and made it work... thankfully.
Ainslies outstanding performance was welcomed by Jim Ratcliffe, CEO of INEOS, who was watching the racing from the teams support boat.
In todays opening race there was some Swiss heart-ache and pain. Having made the best start, Realteam pulled into the lead only for her mast to break on the second downwind leg. We just had to finish the race, admitted skipper Jérôme Clerc with a sigh. No one was injured, but this sadly follows Realteam having broken their usual racing mast in training prior to the GC32 TPM Med Cup. The Swiss team will be burning the midnight oil tonight as they attempt to repair their first mast. It was going very well. It will be hard for us to come back now, concluded Clerc.
This race ended up being won by Erik Maris Zoulou. We did benefit from our competitors attrition, admitted Maris. I hope Realteam will make it back to sail tomorrow.
Pleasingly Zoulou shares the same points, but is technically ahead on countback, with the event favourite, Franck Cammas NORAUTO (many of Zoulous crew sailed with Cammas in the Americas Cup last year). We would like to stay ahead of Franck! said Maris. Today we had our usual ups and downs. In the second race I made a terrible mistake fishing one of the marks. Then we broke one of the winches. Nonetheless Zoulou ended the day in third place and technically top of the three French teams competing here.
Todays final race was claimed by Simon Delzoppos .film Racing. According to the Aussie teams French tactician, Sébastien Col, they started well, were fast and made it out to the favoured left side of the course. Here there was not only more pressure but an impressive turn-out, along the marina breakwater, of Toulons sailing fans.
.film then stuck to their left is best strategy. On the second upwind, several boats went right like INEOS and I was thinking we should cover them, but all of the guys said no, no theres more breeze on the left said Col. The tactic worked for .film finished with a substantial lead.
Impressively, the Aussie owner-driver team now holds second overall, trailing INEOS by eight points.
Racing continues tomorrow with another five races scheduled but also with two rounds of the ANONIMO Speed Challenge. The team with the highest average speed in this will win an ANONIMO Nautilo GC32 Racing Tour limited edition timepiece at Sundays prize giving.

Have you every just been sitting on your couch in your soft clothes when several of your nearest and dearest call and say they are going to pop in? No? Me neither, are you kidding? I live in New York, most of my friends have never even seen my apartment.
However, I do like to have a few quick and simple recipes in my mind for last minute appetizers should, you know, The Queen and Kate Middleton stop by for tea. So sometimes I play a mini game of Chopped with myself: Look in the fridge, grab no more than 6 ingredients and see what I can make in 20 minutes (the time limit tends to go out the window once I get started).
Today's game of Chopped delivered something so savory, sweet, and delicious, I simply had to share with you all: Rosemary Date Goat Cheese and Toast, or Crostini if you want to get real fancy about it.
Here's what you'll need:
5 oz Soft Goat Cheese
3 Medjool Dates (pitted and soaked)
1 Tbsp Chopped Fresh Rosemary (about two sprigs)
1/4 Tsp Olive Oil
Loaf of Bread (G Free if needed)
Step One: Soak and pit your dates. Dates need a little lovin' to be their best pureed self. Just a 5-10 minute soak will do it.
Step Two: De-sprig (yes, that's what I call it) your rosemary and give it a corse chop.
Step Three: Take a big deep breath in through your nose and smell the gift from above that is the scent of fresh rosemary. This step is mandatory and is very important to follow. Especially when you live in New York in the summer, there are a lot of bad smells to be smelled, so when a good one comes along, I highly recommend embracing it.
Step 4: Throw your dates and rosemary into your food processor/blender/vegetable chopper. I used a tiny veggie chopper because my lovely food processor is in my closet in my parent's house in California. I'll have it soon then you will beg me to stop posting recipes that require it.
Puree your dates and rosemary until they turn into a big all incorporated ball.
Step 5: Add your goat cheese into the mix, drizzle in your olive oil and blend together until fully incorporated and set aside. Note: Since my veggie chopper is so small and not made for this kind of thing, I gave it a little helping hand and mashed the goat cheese and the rosemary date mixture together a little bit before blending it.
Step 6: Grab your bread. If you have an unsliced loaf, slice it up. If it's already sliced, take a two minute nap. Then take as many slices as you you have guests and drizzle with olive oil, put on a baking sheet and pop under the broiler for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.
It was just me an The B Man, so I just used two slices of Udi's Gluten Free Ancient Grain, Omega Flax & Fiber bread. You can find it in most grocery stores these days and it's BY FAR, the best gluten free sandwich bread. They also have a ton of other gluten free products (including some pretty kickass French Bread) that can be found in more specialty health food stores, like Whole Foods.
Step 7: Spread your Rosemary Date Goat Cheese on your toast and voila! You have a a delightful appetizer
Not only is this dish super easy to whip up and completely delicious, but it's easy to customize and mix it up.
These are delightful with just some sprinkled fresh rosemary on top with some salt and pepper.
Or you can make yourself The B Man Special and plop some walnuts on there and a drizzle of honey. I call it The B Man Special because I swear the man wants to add honey to everything I make.
If you are making these for a large party, you could easily slice your bread into fourths for smaller, bite-sized pieces. Or you could do it buffet style and have your guests assemble as they like. It's a simple way to truly wow your guests, or just yourself, which lets be honest is the most important thing anyway.
So go ahead, wow yourself, and make sure to share your creations on Instagram!

Documents required for an organisation's business processes can arrive via a range of communication channels. First sight of inbound documents will typically be in a specific business unit or department rather than centrally. The challenge for record managers is to ensure that all documents which need to be declared as records are identified from this document inflow and do not remain outside the organisation's "corporate memory ".
The electronic records management solution from DCS offers managers an effective strategy for dealing with this issue and managing the records declaration process. The solution enables all inbound business information to be centrally captured and classified before routing to the required business unit or department.
DCS electronic mailroom technology allows you to capture all inbound documents arriving by post or channels such as fax or email. The technology converts all documents and email message content to a standard digital format allowing them to be classified using Kofax KTM intelligent document recognition.
By applying pre-defined business rules to this process, the declaration of a significant number of documents can be automated and unrecognised items quickly routed for manual declaration by designated records administrators.
Working with documents in electronic format allows rapid and consistent application of record declaration and classification rules. Rules can be applied to individual documents as document meta data allowing them to be tagged against a range of file plan criteria. The ability to classify records by type means they can be automatically routed to the appropriate file plan folder where they will be governed by pre-defined group retention and disposition rules.
Implementing workflow rules reduces reliance on individual staff knowledge and avoids inconsistent record keeping due to mobility in the workforce. Rules can be set up to specify restrictions on declared documents, remove editing or deletion rights, determine declaration roles and govern who is authorised to manually change records.
Which records to retain?
Automate declaration, retention and disposition of records and meet compliance directives.
The DCS records management solution offers flexibility in how you manage declared records. Some examples are as follows:

What's better to do on Thanksgiving night (after turkey and football, of course) than watch a movie?
While movies that actually take place on Thanksgiving are rare, what's not rare is people stuffing their faces in movies, just like we do on Turkey Day in real life.
Matilda: If that cake-eating scene didn't haunt you for the rest of your childhood, I don't know what would
The Family Stone: In one of the most awkward dinner scenes, this movie addresses Sarah Jessica Parker's inability to understand people's different life choices, and viewers' inability to understand why she ever left "Sex and the City"
Meet the Parents: Only Stiller and DiNiro can make a scene about a cat and a family member's ashes equally funny and cringeworthy
Seven: You can claim that you're hardcore in your eating this Thanksgiving, but you've never been murdered by a bowl of pasta.
Lady and The Tramp: Attempts to get Allie to recreate the famous spaghetti eating scene with me at nice Italian restaurants: 28. Successes: 0
Stand By Me: The great and disgusting pie scene in this movie does not make me love pie any less.
3 Things in Movies we're thankful for
Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin have (mostly) retired from acting.
Lunatic/Acting genius Nick Cage is still somehow getting work (Ed: Allie does not endorse this statement).
Most theatre's have lax enough security to sneak in a nice, fat turkey sandwich while you're watching Hunger Games: Catching Fire. No turkey for you, Katniss!
The fact that they never made a Mean Girls 3. Know when to leave good enough alone (which actually would have been at the first Mean Girls)
That we have Jerry Maguire to immortalize Tom Cruise's once normal acting career, and Renee Zellweger's face
Ben Affleck
Movies to watch in a food coma:
Bob and Allie:
The Machinist: You can laugh at skinny Christian Bale while storing emergency fat to last you years.
Miracle on 34th Street – because it starts on Thanksgiving and goes all the way to Christmas.
Dogtooth: So you'll feel better about your dysfunctional family.

we sit and wait
watching soap and snow melt
against the windshield
suddenly it's dusk
and yet it took forever
to get to this car
driving we see things
that aren't ourselves –
windows lit soft orange
trees hang with white
so comfortably as if
they were penciled in
Finally people
surround us and we eat
tasting everything

I strategize ways
to rid the world of bed bugs
with essential oils
No, I am not kidding. Although I have never met a bed bug in person, I cannot stand them and spend far too much time thinking about them. When I am on a sofa at my favorite coffee shop I wonder if I will encounter one. When I buy used toys for Penny at the thrift shop I stick them in the freezer for 3 weeks before I let her play with them, in order to kill any potential vermin. When I am at the gym I inspect the mats before I lie down to stretch on them. I know this is strange but I can't help myself and I feel even more ridiculous knowing that New Hampshire is not high-risk bed bud territory. So much do I detest these dime shaped vermin that I cannot even fathom posting a picture of them on this site. Ick.
But they are making the news with more and more frequency and so bed bugs stay on my mind. Are you grossed out yet? I'm so sorry. I guess my fear of bed bugs might be my phobia if I do have one. And what about you? Do you have a phobia? Please share! It will be nice to know that I am not the only one

smart words from the mouth
of an Everest climber

also a lesson
I'd do well to remember
in my daily life
Alison Levine, mountain climber extraordinaire, spoke in Minneapolis on Monday night. I had the pleasure of going to hear her speak. I was amazed by the photographs she shared of her Everest expeditions.
Yes, that's right. Expeditions with an "s." She climbed that mountain twice!
Ms. Levine was in town as part of the Smart Talk lecture series. In the coming months, Isabella Rossellini, Ann Compton and Sigourney Weaver will all come through Minneapolis.
As an official "Smart Talk Blogger," I'll be penning haiku about what each one of them has to say. Or, if you think you'd like to take in the events yourself, I have a coupon code to offer: KW2011.

Tags: 108 Mala Beads, a year of haiku, Bradly Jay Keller, grace, habits, mindfulnessFebruary 22nd, 2011
Every once in awhile, I go to Amazon and type in the word "haiku." I'm always on the look out for a new "haiku" title. Some of them I order; many more I don't.
Yet when I spotted a book by Bradly Jay Keller named 108 Mala Beads: A Year of Haiku, I immediately dropped the title into my virtual shopping cart. After all, Alison and I started Haiku By Two with the thought that it would be "a year of haiku." I was curious to see what "a year of haiku" meant to somebody else.
Keller's take on the idea was different than our own. For starters, he did not begin his year of haiku in January, but in May. The haiku in the book, then, span from May of one year to May of the next.
While the haiku in Keller's book are organized chronologically, the order is not what one might expect.
Rather, his haiku are divided into several distinct categories and then presented chronologically in each section. A section about cows concentrates on haiku about cows and arranges those haiku from May to May. The next section, all about birds, starts the reader back at the beginning of Keller's year and works forward again.
This organizational pattern seemed weird to me at first. But as I worked through the poems, it made sense as I got to concentrate on a single image (cows, birds) and see how that one element changed as the seasons progressed.
Here is a haiku that I particularly liked from the section titled "Cow Songs."
May 28th
In their great absence,
The field in silence waits,
For heavy bovine hoofs.
This haiku, from a section titled "Nature," also struck me.
February 2nd
Beautiful flowers,
Do not resist the sunlight,
They just surrender.
Beyond Keller's haiku, though, I was curious about the author's intent in taking on "a year of haiku." I knew why Alison and I started: to reconnect and to rekindle our individual artistic flairs. Keller started his year of haiku as a way to put the brakes on technological multitasking. "Yet, what is the price of giving one's life to automobiles, cell phones, television, computers, email and the internet?" he asks in his introduction.
Because haiku asks the writer to pay attention to nature, the act of writing haiku, Keller goes on to say, can help a writer find grace, which he defines as "the effortless experience of spiritual awakening."
An "encounter with poetry," Keller writes, "can serve as a direct portal to the experience of grace."
I can't speak for Alison, but I know that Keller's haiku-grace connection holds true for me. Haiku helps me live mindfully. Granted, I'm not mindful all the time, but my haiku habit has gotten me in the habit of paying attention to my surroundings. And for me that awareness has proven addictive. And that is partly why Haiku By Two is now in it's third year.
And I'm guessing that Bradly Jay Keller, even though he stopped his book at the one-year mark, didn't stop penning haiku once that year was done.

If you are looking for a lawyer after a truck accident, the person you choose must have experience with commercial truck accident cases. Trucking accidents are very different from passenger vehicle accidents. There are more parties involved, which can make determining liability much more challenging.
The attorneys at Lorenz & Lorenz, L.L.P., have the experience you need. Because nearly all of our cases are vehicle accident claims, we have significant experience with trucking accidents in Texas. We understand the nuances of these complex cases and we will work hard to recover the compensation you deserve. Please call us in Austin at 877-LORENZ2 (877-567-3692) for a free consultation.
We Will Investigate the Trucking Company
Our firm has the resources to conduct thorough investigations of truck accidents and to build strong cases for compensation. We have an investigator on staff as well as access to accident reconstruction experts. We work together as a team to gather and examine the evidence.
One of the parties we investigate in each truck accident is the trucking company. The company's negligence may have contributed to the reason for the accident. We will look for issues such as:
- Company policy requiring drivers to exceed safe driving hours
- Negligent maintenance and unsafe trucks
- Negligent hiring practices
- Falsified driver logbooks
- Overloaded trucks
If we find the trucking company was negligent, we will hold it accountable for your injuries, lost wages, pain and suffering and other losses. You can be certain we have the negotiation and trial skills to stand up to the trucking company's lawyers.
We Are on Your Side
You can contact us anytime online or at 877-LORENZ2 (877-567-3692). Your consultation is free and you pay no fees unless we recover damages for you.

Firstly it is important to read your CV with a fresh pair of eyes, try to think about who will be reading it and what will they be looking for. If you are applying for a position, which has been advertised, have you addressed the position criteria? It may be obvious to you that you are perfect for the role but not to the person reviewing your CV.
Secondly, you need to highlight your accomplishments, as this is what will make you stand out from the crowd. Most CVs will have the basics already; contact details, education and employment history however by thinking back to your career achievements you can create a more compelling CV. Here is an opportunity for you to demonstrate your skills and to back them up with strong examples of how good you really are.
Thirdly your CV should be in a simple format with no tables, borders or complex formatting and demonstrate good attention to detail. This will ensure that your CV will look good no matter where it is sent and a thorough proof read will avoid you being discounted for a role due to a simple spelling mistake.
Finally don't forget to update your LinkedIn profile. It is one of the first places that recruiters will look for potential candidates and is often used by senior executives to review candidates before interview so it needs to be professional and relevant, including your profile picture.
Looking for a job is hard work, which on top of being a mum is definitely challenging so remember to persevere. Great jobs don't often come looking for you so make sure your CV is polished and ready to go and you have an up to date LinkedIn profile to help you along the way. Use your networks and don't be afraid to ask for advice, there are many mums out there balancing exciting careers with the demands of motherhood and there is no reason you can't be one of them.

Medical Student Research Programs
UT Southwestern Medical School has a longstanding commitment to student research. UTSW medical students can engage in a variety of research activities – both basic and clinical – working directly with the faculty. The Office of the Associate Dean for Medical Student Research is charged with organizing these activities.
Many medical students take advantage of the Summer Research Program, usually the summer before or after their MS1 year. The research lasts about 10 weeks. In a series of weekly luncheon seminars, faculty and former student researchers discuss the fundamentals of basic and clinical research. Students are paid a research stipend and encouraged to submit their work to national and regional meetings, including the Medical Student Research Forum.
Other students choose to use their elective credits in their third and fourth years to complete a Research Elective, doing a project with a chosen mentor. For these electives, the student contacts a faculty mentor and then gets approval from the Associate Dean.
Both of these opportunities can lead to an M.D. with Distinction in Research. Students with 24 weeks of research experience can apply for the distinction and present a thesis to their research mentors and peers.
Students are encouraged to explore yearlong research programs in basic or clinical research. National research programs sustain comprehensive research training in a variety of disciplines.
The Medical Student Research Office has limited funding to help students present their original research at national conferences. Funding will be assessed on an individual basis and an application will be required. Please contact Rene Galindo, M.D., Ph.D., directly for more information.
