The Degree Mapping Project is a new undertaking in Students Affairs that had its genesis in the student success and retention initiatives. Currently, when students obtain their degree audit, the audit informs that what classes they need to take in order to complete their degree. Degree mapping goes one step further and plots those requirements for students by term and by year (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior).
Degree mapping is not a new concept – in fact, it's already being done around campus by the School of Business, Maseeh College of Engineering, and several other departments. Student Affairs will systemize and centralize that approach across campus by working with individual departments to create these maps. Once the project is completed, PSU will have a central website where students can find this information.
Degree mapping will help students stay on track and take the correct courses in the correct sequence. It will also help students complete their degrees in the expected time frame. If a student does get off track, by failing a course or taking a term off, the degree map will help them get reorganized and back on track in a thoughtful way. Ultimately, degree mapping will save students time and money by helping them toward their academic goals.

Foodstuffs as Usernames on Twitter
@bacon kicks off this little exercise in free association.
@hotdogs: Lame. Thanks for taking an iconic foodstuff name and DOING NOTHING WITH IT.
@applepie: Really? No one? Oh, well. It's not like @mom and @baseball are doing their part for America. But at least they exist on Twitter.
@pie: Why so secretive?
@cupcakes: Not much to do with cupcakes, but at least she took the time to decorate her background.
@butter: I expected more from you. Sad.
@icecream: "Chillin'" was a nice start. Then you just sort of melted.
@chocolate: Wow. Who takes "chocolate" and then does nothing with it? This list gets sadder with each scroll downward.
@cheese: Well, whoopdeedo.
@halfsmoke: It's still available, folks! Any D.C. residents want to represent?
@threewaychili: This one's for my Cincy peeps.
@tacos: Yo quiero updates. ¿Por favor?
@chickenwings: "I EATD THEM ALL"
@barbecue: With all the different 'cue factions, a non-updating "barbecue" user probably makes the most sense from a keepin'-the-peace standpoint.
@friedchicken: Stick a spork in it. You're done.
@wienerschnitzel: Ach du Lieber! How can you be "blah" about wienerschnitzel?
@bibimbap: I can't believe this is still available.
@kimchi: Buried in the earth.
@sushi: Wow. An account with some actual signs of life.
@broccoli: This is George H. W. Bush's secret Twitter account.
@brusselssprouts: No surprise that this username is still free.
@breakfast: No love from the most important meal of the day?
@lunch: "Test!" "Test!"??? It works. You have a cute icon—now do something fun with this username.
@vanillashake: Brings no boys to the yard.
@doughnuts: They're complaining about you, too—over on @donuts
@donuts: D'oh! I guess they aren't.
@peanutbutter: FAIL!
@popcorn: Obviously.
@potatochips: Fingers are too greasy to use keyboard.
@wine: And finally. Someone who actually looks like they're using their Twitter account in a way that befits its username. Kudos, cheers, bottoms up!
Thus ends this little exercise in free association. You now have a peek into how my brain works. And a little more insight on how Twitter works. It's a little disappointing how many people took awesome handles and then did nothing with them, but that's usually how these things go. The obvious usernames get taken early, and I know from experience that Twitter is something a lot of people try out and then drop after a little while. Hopefully some of the better usernames here will come back and do something fun with the names.

Association for the Advancement
of Philosophy & Psychiatry
The Association for the Advancement of Philosophy and Psychiatry (AAPP) was establlished in 1989 to promote cross-disciplinary research, educational initiatives, and graduate training programs in philosophy and psychiatry. Philosophical methods bring to psychiatry a kind of analysis and critique that are invaluable in their clarity of thought, meaning, and application to practice. But over the years, we also have found that, in addition to having its own philosophical problems, psychiatry also informs philosophical theorizing itself, and that the field of "philosophy and psychiatry" is developing into its own interdisciplinary field.
AAPP is dedicated to philosophical inquiry in psychiatric theory and practice. AAPP aims to enhance the effectiveness of the psychiatrist as teacher, researcher, and practitioner by illuminating the philosophical issues embedded in these activities. AAPP also aims to consider the ways in which psychiatric knowledge, theories, and practices can enrich and challenge basic philosophical assumptions about mind, knowledge, and subjectivity, for instance. Topics of interest include the identification, understanding, and explication of abnormal experience and behavior; the problem of psychiatric classification; the relationship between neuroscience and cllinical practice; the evaluation of clinical methods; and moral and ethical issues raised by psychiatric categories and practice.
The goals of AAPP are realized through:
- Fostering research in the philosophical aspects of psychiatric theory and practice.
- Identifying and supporting collaborative cross-disciplinary research teams in philosophy, psychiatry, and psychology and related fields.
- Sponsoring educational courses, an annual meeting, international meetings, regional meetings with local chapters and symposia with other societies.
- Sharing syllabi on courses relevant to philosophy and psychiatry.
- Reaching a greater public audience and popularizing the interdisciplinary field through the use of new technologies.
- Publishing in the area of philosophy and psychiatry.
- Mentoring those who are new to the interdisciplinary field.
- Providing consultation to graduate training programs.
Philosophy, Psychiatry, & Psychology (PPP) is the official journal of the organization, published in conjunction with the Royal College of Psychiatrists Philosophy Group by The Johns Hopkins University Press.
AAPP is an energetic association, and we can promise you genuine collegiality, an opportunity to contribute and to learn, lively topics for consideration, and instructive and enjoyable meetings.

Congress to Expand Deposit Insurance
While I never had much hope that this Congress would actually fix the real causes of the financial crisis - loose monetary policy, Fannie/Freddie - I had hoped that they wouldn't do a lot to make an already bad situation worse. Boy, was that hope naive.
Take the area of federally provided deposit insurance. There is a massive amount of scholarly work, much of it empirical, that demonstrates that expanding the level and scope of deposit insurance results in more frequent and severe financial crises. So what is Congress considering? Yes, you guessed it: expanded deposit insurance.
Recall during the financial crisis Congress raised the coverage limit to $250,000 - forget that there were never any premiums charged ahead of time for this coverage. The FDIC also, without any basis in law, offered unlimited coverage to non-interest bearing accounts, targeted mostly at business customers. While these expansions may have brought the system some short term stability, they come at the cost of considerable long term instability.
Congress is also making the misguided change of basing insurance premiums on total assets rather than total deposits. This will punish banks for relying on sources of funding other than deposits, giving banks an incentive to shift their funding toward deposits, putting the taxpayer ultimately at even greater risk.
So why all these expanded bank guarantees? Smaller banks view these as changes that would give them a competitive advantage relative to larger banks. After all community and regional banks are far more dependent on deposits as a source of funds. And while big banks are damaged politically, the smaller banks, despite their higher failure rates, have managed to maintain their political ability to shift the costs of their risk-taking onto the backs of the taxpayer.

Of course if you want to shoot panos using several lenses, then an adjustable head is nice and the above does not apply. I like the Bushman Gobi head Kolor is advertising, 320 gram! http://bushman-panoramic.com/panoramic-heads/gobi.php

Four Williams College players collected at least two hits and the Ephs pulled away in the late innings for an 8-2 NESCAC West Division win over Hamilton College at Hamilton's Royce Field on April 28.
Williams (13-20 overall, 4-8 NESCAC West) won two out of three games in the weekend series and finished in a three-way tie for third place in the division with Hamilton and Middlebury College.
K.C. Murphy '13 led the Ephs with a 3-for-5 performance, including his ninth double, and an RBI. Taylor Mondshein '13, Marco Hernandez '14 and Kelso Stevens '15 finished with two hits and one RBI each. One of Mondshein's hits went for his seventh double.
Winning pitcher Patrick Blizzard '13 (2-1) gave up two runs on nine hits and fanned four in six innings. Lucas Casso '13 pitched three scoreless innings and picked up his first save.
Gabe Klein '13 had a stellar day both at the plate and in the field for the Continentals. Klein went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases and an RBI, and made some exceptional plays at first base. Joe Jensen '15, Colin Henneberger '14 and Brian Ferrell '16 ended up with two hits each, and Henneberger drove in a run.
JJay Lane '15 took the loss after he gave up three earned runs on 10 hits and struck out two batters in seven innings. Lane (1-2), who hadn't allowed an earned run since March 30, had his streak end at 17.2 innings. His earned run average of 1.46 leads the team. Andrew Jaffoni '15 and Joe Wagner '14 combined on two scoreless innings of relief.
Williams broke the ice with a run in the top of the third inning only to allow two runs in the bottom half of the third. A two-base error was followed by a wild pitch and Thomas Stephens '14 was on third base with no outs for the Ephs. Stevens drove in Stephens with a single through the right side. The Ephs got another runner on base with the inning's second error but stranded both runners in scoring position.
Ferrell and Jensen led off the bottom of the inning with singles and moved to third on a sacrifice bunt by Sam Fuentes '13. A single to center by Klein knocked in Ferrell and Henneberger's sacrifice fly to shallow right field plated Jensen for a 2-1 lead.
Williams evened the score with a run in the top of the fourth inning and took a 3-2 lead with another run in the fifth. Murphy started the fourth with a single and went to second base on a fielder's choice. Hernandez drove him in with a single that bounced on the edge of the infield and went high over Ferrell's head at second.
In the fifth, one-out singles by Darren Hartwell '13 and Mondshein put two runners aboard. The Continentals attempted to throw out Hartwell at third on a double steal but the ball sailed into left field and Hartwell trotted home.
The Ephs added an insurance run in the top of the seventh inning on a pair of doubles. Mondshein smacked a one-out double to right center and Murphy traded places with him on his double down the right field line with two away for a 4-2 lead.
Williams pulled away with four runs in the eighth inning. The Ephs loaded the bases with no outs on a single, a walk and an error. Tommy Moriarty '14 issued another walk to Matt Kastner '14 that plated the first run. The Continentals brought in Jaffoni, who got Hartwell to ground into a fielder's choice, but another run scored. With runners on first and third, Mondshein hit a sacrifice fly to right that scored another run, and Andrew Bishop '13 followed with a pinch-hit RBI single.
Casso, who relieved Blizzard in the seventh inning, retired the first eight batters he faced before he allowed a pair of two-out singles in the bottom of the ninth. He ended the game by fielding a chopper near the third base line and throwing the runner out at first.
Hamilton wraps up its season with a non-conference doubleheader against SUNY Institute of Technology at DeLutis Field in Rome on Tuesday, April 30.

I don't remember much about the movie Stardust except I saw it in a theatre and enjoyed it. I wrote the following on August 18th, 2007, after I saw it:
Stardust is a predictable fairy tale that will take you for a fun ride if you're willing to just go along with it.
All the actors have a good time with this one, and it's infectious.
It's got adventure, comedy, romance, thrilling action and enough interesting twists so it never gets boring.
A good night at the movies.

Clarke County Housing Cost Statistics
Median monthly housing costs is defined by the Census Bureau as including both gross rent and homeowner costs. Housing data is reported by the American Community Survey (ACS), conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau.
Unlike the Census—which is an exact count of people and households every ten years—ACS statistics are estimated based on a representative survey sample. This report uses 5-year estimates, which are available for all locations in the United States.
How have housing costs changed in Clarke County, Mississippi?
How do housing costs vary within Clarke County, Mississippi?
Note: Hover over a census tract to see its median income. Use the time-slider to view data for different time periods.

The T-Mobile G-Slate has finally been officially revealed, bringing 3D to tablets for the very first time.
The T-Mobile G-Slate - rumoured to be called the LG Optimus Pad in the UK - has been made by LG and features an 8.9-inch 3D-capable multi-touch display (1280x720) and the ability to record and view 3D HD content.
Powered by Android 3.0 – which is Honeycomb to those with a sweet tooth – the tablet has built-in 3D graphical capabilities – there's an Nvidia Tegra 2 chip inside – and will be capable of 4G connection speeds in the US.
3D capable
Unlike the the upcoming LG Optimus 3D, you will have to watch the 3D content on the device through glasses as the screen is stereoscopic.
When we are on the subject of specs, ahem, you will be pleased to hear that the T-Mobile G-Slate has some power behind it, courtesy of its dual-core CPU.
It is also equipped with a 5MP camera and LED flash, 3D video recording, 32GB internal memory, Flash support, HDMI output and Wi-Fi.
There's no T-Mobile G-Slate UK release date as of yet but we will be bringing you this information and a hands-on at Mobile World Congress 2011.

I have noticed a few minor defects in AOS 4.1 FE that I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere, so I have decided to report them. Eventually I went for separate threads to avoid confusion.
If the problem described below is already discussed elsewhere, please feel free to just point me to the right place. Thanks.
My system:
* Radeon 9000 with 64 MB RAM
* SoundBlaster Live!
* IDE HD on a1ide.device (normally turned off at the beginning of the startup-sequence)
* SATA SDD on Sil5312ide.device
* all partitions formatted with SFS/00
This is a very minor bug in the Workbench preferences program. What happens is that when the Text mode tab is selected first, the file attributes color does not reflect the actual color chosen (at least when it's custom).
This is what is displayed when I open the tab for the first time:
Then, it's enough to click the Options tab and then return to the Appearance tab to get the correct result:

Craig Sytsma died after two Cane Corsos attacked him on a rural dirt road on July 23
A couple charged with second-degree murder after their two dogs fatally mauled a Michigan jogger agreed Friday to give up ownership of the animals and have them euthanized.
Valbona Lucaj and husband Sebastiano Quagliata signed the agreement with Lapeer County authorities on the same day they appeared in court on charges related to the death of Craig Sytsma, 46, of Livonia.
He was attacked by two Cane Corsos on July 23 in Metamora Township, 45 miles northwest of Detroit. The agreement says the dogs and a third Cane Corso will be killed as soon as possible.
The dogs have been in custody along with eight puppies. The puppies will be offered to an animal rescue group.
Meanwhile, bond was set at $500,000 each for Lucaj and Quagliata, although prosecutors wanted $1 million, saying they might flee the country. Magistrate Mike Delling settled on a lower amount, but noted there's "some question" about the couple's status in the U.S.
It wasn't immediately known if the couple could pay the bond to get out of jail or arrange payment through a bond agency. Messages seeking comment were left for their attorneys.
"It's a horrible tragedy … but animal cases get a lot of attention," assistant prosecutor Michael Hodges said outside court.
Lucaj, 44, a native of Albania, and Quagliata, 45, a native of Italy, have had a long-running legal battle with federal immigration officials after arriving here in the late 1990s.
Lucaj was named, but not charged, in a bribery scandal involving an immigration official in New York. The government said she and other immigrants paid a middleman to ensure they would be granted asylum.
The government in 2010 took some steps toward deporting Lucaj and Quagliata, but legal challenges have stalled the process, court records show. In March, a federal judge in Detroit declined to overturn a decision rejecting the couple's application for naturalization.
"Given the posture of their immigration cases, ICE has not yet initiated removal proceedings against either individual," said Khaalid Walls, a Detroit spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE. "ICE will, however, continue to closely monitor the matter and take appropriate enforcement action once the local criminal proceedings are resolved."
Lucaj and Quagliata return to court on August 8.
Murder charges against dog owners are rare. In May 2013, Alex Jackson was charged after a 63-year-old woman died from more than 150 bites by four pit bulls in California's Los Angeles County. The case against Jackson is pending.

During the years 1613 to 1621 Morin was employed by the Bishop of Boulogne. He was sent to Germany and Hungary. His main task seems to have been to visit mines and make studies of metals. His skill in astrology seems to have been his main use to the Bishop.
His next employer was the Duke of Luxembourg, for whom he worked until 1629. During this period Morin published a defence of Aristotle (1624) and he also worked on optics. However astrology remained his main interest although he worked with Gassendi on observational astronomy.
Morin was appointed professor of mathematics at the Collège Royal in 1630 and he was to hold this post until his death. From about the time of his appointment he attacked Galileo and his views. He was to continue his attacks against Galileo after the trial of 1633. Morin remained firmly convinced that the Earth was fixed in space.
Morin is best remembered for his attempts to solve the longitude problem. His solution, proposed in 1634, was based on measuring absolute time by the position of the Moon relative to the stars. He was certainly not the first to propose the method but he did add one important new piece of understanding, namely he took lunar parallax into account.
Since Morin put forward his method for a longitude prize, a committee was set up by Cardinal Richelieu to evaluate it. Étienne Pascal, Mydorge, Beaugrand, Hérigone, J C Boulenger and L de la Porte served on the committee and they were in dispute with Morin for the five years after he made his proposal.
Morin realised that instruments had to be improved, improved methods of solving spherical triangles had to be found and better lunar tables were needed. He made some advances in these areas but his method, although theoretically sound, could not achieve either the computational or observational accuracy to succeed. Morin refused to listen to objections to his proposal.
Even while the dispute was going on, in 1638, Morin attacked Descartes saying that he had realised as soon as they met how bad his philosophy was. These disputes alienated Morin from the scientific community. He was to spend the latter part of his life isolated from other scientists although Cardinal Richelieu's successor Cardinal Mazarin did award him a pension for his work on the longitude in 1645.

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2004 Media Releases
Mayor Coleen J. Seng today presented the Mayor's Award of Excellence for March to Firefighter/Paramedic Dave Kluthe of Lincoln Fire and Rescue. The monthly award recognizes City employees who consistently provide exemplary service and work that demonstrates personal commitment to the City. The award was presented at the beginning of today's City Council meeting.
Kluthe was nominated in the category of productivity, by Fire Captain William Moser. Kluthe joined the City in 1999 and is now assigned to Medic #1 and Engine #1, the busiest fire apparatus unit in the Department. His duties include a large number of patient contacts, working with medical personnel in emergency rooms and extensive documenting of a patient's condition and care. In addition to his firefighter training and responsibilities, Kluthe checks, cleans and stocks the ambulance. He also helps with ordering and stocking Station #1 medical supplies, which includes supplies for Engine #1, Medic #1 and Medic #21.
Kluthe was recognized in February 2003 by the Sons of the American Revolution as Firefighter of the Year. Chief Mike Spadt nominated Kluthe for this award because of his "leadership abilities, extremely skilled patient care, compassion, and his active participation in Lincoln Fire and Rescue's Urban Search and Rescue Team (USAR) and Nebraska Task Force 1."
Kluthe has been involved with USAR since 1998. He assisted with ordering and organizing the initial supply inventory and is still responsible for ordering and tracking supplies and drugs. He also organizes medic training, which includes annual drills designed to have a medical staff ready for prompt deployment to an area disaster. To enhance his USAR and Fire Department activities, Kluthe has participated in many additional training opportunities.
Kluthe's involvement as a Preceptor requires spending additional time instructing, and monitoring medics. Being a Preceptor involves a thorough knowledge of protocols, assessments, charting, drugs, team leadership safety, and all medical skills needed to be proficient. "Dave's leadership role as a Preceptor puts him in the key position of shaping the work habits of future medics and in this endeavor, he excels," wrote Moser. "Dave is able to think on his feet, and his thorough, intelligent observations are always valued at emergency calls and for making better routine daily decisions."
The other categories in which employees can be nominated are customer relations, loss prevention, safety and valor. All City employees are eligible for the Mayor's Award of Excellence except for elected officials and some managers. Individuals or teams can be nominated by supervisors, peers, subordinates and the general public. Nomination forms are available from department heads, employee bulletin boards or the Personnel Department, which oversees the awards program.
All nominations are reviewed by the Mayor's Award of Excellence Committee, which includes a representative with each union and a non-union representative appointed by the Mayor. Award winners receive a $100 U.S. savings bond, a day off with pay and a plaque. Monthly winners are eligible to receive the annual award, which comes with a $500 U.S. savings bond, two days off with pay and a plaque.

We, as automotive enthusiasts, are all guilty of it at some time or another, a new model comes out by brand we know and love but that car doesn't "fit" with what we believe that brand is all about. The new Jeep Renegade is the latest example of a small minority of afficionados labeling what they feel is or is not a "real Jeep." While it is fun to debate on the internet the merits of such a model, the reality is carmakers and especially buyers simply don't care whether or not something is "real" by our definition.
The reason automakers don't care is because more often than not the "not real" models of their lineup sell far better than the "real" ones. Take Porsche for example, if you remember back not long ago Porsche purists damn near lost their minds when the brand announced it was making an SUV. Then the Cayenne outsold the 911, sometimes by a margin of 2 to 1. Of course Porsche was so distraught by the traditionalists crying foul it went ahead and made a sedan and that plan has been working just fine.
It seems like BMW is making another "not real" model every other week, noted examples are the upcoming 2 Series Active Tourer and i3. The i3 is lining up to be a successful model despite its limited production numbers and I predict 2 Series Active Tourer will be filling shopping mall parking lots in no time. Speaking of not "real" BMWs, the brand already has thousands of them already roaming the streets, the F10 5-series has strayed pretty far from the "ultimate driving machine" of the E34,E39, and even E60 but it doesn't matter the 5-series sales are on the upswing and don't seem to be slowing down anytime soon.
I'm just as guilty as all of you. I believe that Mercedes sedans should be RWD and all Audis should be Quattro, but when the dealers can't keep the CLAs on the lots and buyers are already chomping at the bit to get into an A3, I am starting to let go of my narrow notions. The Renegade may or may not be a real "Jeep" and it won't matter they will sell, and it will allow the brand to continue making "real" models for the rest of us.
What do you think, is history holding us back or can we learn to widen our definition of what makes a "real" car from our favorite brand?

Resveratrol is a polyphenol that is found in several types of plants. It draws a lot of attention from the scientific community with more than 9000 studies published to date. This published research and clinical date suggests that resveratrol can be a vital ingredient for healthy aging.
How does resveratrol work?
Michondria are the powerhouses which make energy inside every cell in our bodies. As we age' mitochondrial function becomes slowly impaired. This leads to the decline of many systems in our body as we get older including cardiovascular' cognitive' skin and bone. Resveratrol has been shown to penetrate cells and help rejuvenate the mitochondria thus supporting healthy aging. By working at this cellular level resveratrol is able to have a beneficial effect on many parts of the body.
Bone Health:
- Decreases inflammation.
- Increases BAP' a biomarker in bone formation.
- Increase in bone density.
Cardiovascular Health:
- Supports healthy blood flow.
- Supports healthy BP and Blood glucose.
Skin Youthfulness:
- Decreases age spots and wrinkles.
- Increases hydration.
- Decreases oxidative stress.
Cognitive Health:
- Increases cerebral blood flow.
- Improves cognitive performance' particularly memory.

Operating speed
The speeds at which SKF ConCentra roller bearing units can be operated depend on the sealing solution in the bearing unit. For bearing units fitted with double-lip or heavy-duty radial shaft seals, the limiting speeds are based on the permissible circumferential speed at the seal lips. For those fitted with labyrinth seals, the limiting speeds are imposed by the bearing size and the grease.
Guideline values for the limiting speeds are listed in the product tables for units in the SYNT series and FYNT series.

Nikon D600 Time-lapse Shows Dust Accumulation on Sensor
Nikon D600 Time-lapse Shows Dust Accumulation on Sensor
Reports have been coming in of the Nikon D600's tendency to accumulate dust on its sensor. Photographer Kyle Clemens bought a brand new D600 to replace his aging D70, and the first thing he did with the camera was to investigate the problem for himself. He set up his D600 with a 50mm f/1.8 lens, pointed it straight at a white piece of paper and shot a total of 1000 images. This time-lapse video of those images show a clear build-up of dust on the upper-left portion of the sensor.
Clemens does mention that he "adjusted the curves and play with sharpening to make this look as bad as I possibly can." Nikon hasn't issued an official comment on the issue. We've updated our review of the D600 with the news.

A child attending a family day care centre has been sexually assaulted by the husband of the woman running the centre at the couple's Sydney home, police allege.
The 59-year-old alleged attacker was arrested on Christmas Eve and charged with the aggravated sexual assault of a child under 10 years of age.
According to a police statement, it is alleged the offence took place late last year when the child was attending the family day care service operated by the accused man's wife at their home in Sydney's inner-west.
The service, which was registered with the local council at the time, has since closed down. Eight other families whose children had attended the centre in the past 12 months received emails this week informing them of the arrest of a person within the family day care system.
However, the email did not inform the parents the person arrested was from the centre their child had attended.
A council spokesperson refused to comment on the matter, or the way in which parents were informed of the arrest, when contacted yesterday.
"Council is under instructions from police to make no comment at all connected to the incident,'' the spokesperson said.
The peak body representing home-based child carers, Family Day Care Australia, released a statement describing any allegations of abuse as "deeply concerning''.
"Family Day Care Australia is aware of an alleged incidence of abuse at the residence of a family day care educator. We are unable to formally comment on the case as it is currently before the court,'' the statement reads.
"Family day care operates under the same National Quality Framework as other forms of Australian Government approved child care services. Relevent state and territory child protection legislation also applies to all these services.
"All educators are required to hold a Working With Children Check and adult residents at a family day care residence are required to be "fit and proper persons" with a current criminal history check and/or Working With Children Check.
"Under the national law, family day care approved services are required to undertake regular unannounced or prearranged visits to ensure the health and wellbeing of children being educated and cared for is protected.
"Any incidence of abuse is unacceptable and deeply concerning."
The accused man will appear in Downing Centre Local Court to face the charge in early March.

I recently had occasion to complain to Aviva about a scenario which has left me £8,000 poorer than I'd anticipated. Aviva fails to address the essence of my complaint.
When you reached your normal retirement date there were various options including taking an annuity, going down the drawdown route or deferring and having interest added to your pension sums. As the interest rate then being paid on section 32 transfers such as yours had for a long while been 6pc a year, you chose the latter option.
Unknown to you, it soon fell dramatically to just 1.5pc. You only found out by chance 11 months later when you phoned wondering why you had not had a statement. A letter followed which casually revealed the rate had changed just two months after you had opted for deferment. This had impacted on the fund's value which was around £269,000 rather than in the region of £278,000 as you had expected.
You first wrote to me 18 months ago when the issue was high on this column's agenda.
A year after March 2009, when the Bank of England base rate had gone down to 0.5pc a year, the yield on this fund remained high and looked set to stay that way making it appear to be a good deal in troubled times.
When challenged about the absence of information Aviva accepted it should have told you about the change. It offered £75 for goodwill and then, following my involvement, upped this to £225.
My further arguments were to no avail and you took the matter up with the FOS, the Financial Ombudsman Service. It declared that you should be put back in the position you would otherwise have been in with the annuities starting from the date when the rate had been reduced, with 8pc interest to be paid on any tax-free lump sum chosen and on the backdated annuity payments themselves.
After that, though, Aviva committed a litany of errors. These were largely responsible for protracting the payment of the redress by a further seven months.
Your pension tax-free lump sum of £63,368 and annuity back payments totalling £21,875 net were then paid with £12,442 added for the interest and a further £500 paid for distress and inconvenience.
You have an email trail of 272 messages while trying to sort this.
Aviva tells me it has no excuses and adds: "Unfortunately, there were significant issues reworking the policy as it was around two years from the date and most of the policy values/annuities had to be calculated manually. Regrettably some discrepancies occurred when some of these calculations were made … we can only apologise."
Aviva needs to get its pension division in order. Re-training staff might be a good starting point.

The ideas were among 84 recommendations in a sweeping review of the Toronto Police Service's guidelines and practices conducted by former Supreme Court of Canada justice Frank Iacobucci.
"If reasonable steps can be taken to prevent even one unnecessary death, then those steps must be taken," Iacobucci said as he detailed his work. "It is clear that the police are part of the mental-health system. They have become the front-line mental-health workers."
Toronto police Chief Bill Blair commissioned the report last year after the death of a teenager shot by an officer on an empty streetcar sparked a public outcry over police use of force.
The release of the 346-page report came just days ahead of the one-year anniversary of 18-year-old Sammy Yatim's death, and amid a lawsuit by the teen's family against the officer who shot him and another who Tasered him as he lay dying.
"This is not a report that will gather dust. This is a report that will gather momentum," said Blair, adding that his force would move to implement the report's recommendations.
While the report was limited to making recommendations to the Toronto police, both Blair and Iacobucci said they wanted to share it with police forces across Canada.
"I hope those police forces will look at this report and find something of value to them," said Iacobucci.
That shared learning was exactly what Marianne MacIsaac hoped the report would instigate. The Ajax, Ont., resident's husband was shot to death by police last December after running out of the house naked following a seizure that came on while he had a high fever.
"The police officer shot my husband within 12 seconds," said MacIsaac, wiping away tears as she spoke.
"We just hope that this can roll over into other police forces in Ontario. We don't want to see another family go through what we did. It's heartbreaking and it was a senseless, preventable shooting."
It was clear Iacobucci had been impacted by the experiences of those like MacIsaac.
"You have to be robotic to not be moved by the human tragedy of this," he said, noting that the Toronto police force alone deals with 20,000 encounters with people in crisis in a year. "The complexity behind all of those stories was just quite moving and challenging."
Iacobucci and his team interviewed more than 100 people — including the families of individuals killed by police, as well as officers involved deadly encounters — and analysed more than 1,200 documents as well as submissions from the public. The team also looked at recommendations from previous Ontario coroners' inquests and the advice of experts from the U.S. and the U.K.
The report's numerous recommendations dealt with the intersection of police and the mental-heath system, police culture, training and supervision, use of force and the mental-health of officers themselves.
Iacobucci stressed that one of the key themes was the need for interdisciplinary co-operation.
"When analysing how to prevent deaths in such encounters, one must focus on how to prevent either the crisis itself or the encounter with the police from occurring in the first place, which involves improving the mental-health system among other things," said Iacobucci.
"A failure to de-escalate can arise from a number of causes, including lack of understanding by police regarding the level of risk posed by the person in crisis or a lack of knowledge or ability on how to de-escalate effectively."
While the report was seen as a positive step forward, advocates for people with mental illnesses expressed concern about a number of recommendations relating to expanded use of Tasers.
"We are not supporters of the use of Tasers, because we do not find that they are used as alternatives to lethal force," said Jennifer Chambers, co-ordinator of the Empowerment Council.
"We find that Tasers are used as intermediate methods and we favour, instead, an emphasis on de-escalation. But that being said, I feel the report really did emphasize de-escalation, so that was good news."
Iacobucci's report recommended Toronto police consider conducting a pilot project to assess the potential for expanding Taser access within the force. It also recommended the force advocate for a national study of the medical effects of Taser use and collaborate with other police services to establish a database with Taser-related information.
It also suggested the force issue body-worn cameras to all officers who may encounter people in crisis to ensure greater accountability and transparency.
Among the report's other recommendations is a suggestion that Toronto police create a comprehensive police and mental-health oversight body to help share health-care information, including a voluntary registry of vulnerable people.
It also recommends the force "more proactively and comprehensively educate officers" on mental-health issues and give every officer a point of contact in the mental-health system they can ask for advice.
The city's Mobile Crisis Intervention Teams, which partner mental-health nurses with specially trained offers, should also be notified of every call involving a person in crisis, the report recommends, while calling for a Crisis Intervention Team that would provide a specialized response to those in crisis around the clock.
The report also focused on the recruitment of police officers, with Iacobucci suggesting all new constables be required to complete a mental-health first-aid course. He said preference should be given to applicants with community service experience, past involvement related to the mental-health community and higher education.
Iacobucci noted that his report was not about laying blame on anyone but rather was meant to consider how deadly confrontations can be prevented in the future.
"The premise of the report is that the target should be zero deaths when police interact with a member of the public," he said. "Above all, a person in crisis needs help."

Lourdes Madona Ex-voto, Devoutness Walking Cane, France circa 1900
The height of the handle taken from below the display-case is 15 cm high x 30 cm to the side x 3,5 cm thick. This original piece is a estrange combination among Folk-art and bourgeois. It is a whimsical composition of medals, cut glass and metals, inserted in the wood, the most notorious is the display-case which contains a gilded image of Our Lady of Lourdes Madonna, covered with glass. There is a light blue faceted-glass adorning the extreme of the crook, giving it a theatrical illusion of source of light to illuminate the Madonna, a gilded medal of the Sacred Hearth is placed behind this glass. An old medall with the symbol of the Military French Grenadiers is on top of the handle. The dots of the branch are highlighted with inserted pieces of cut-glass in different colours. The O.L. is 91 cm and it has at the bottom a copper and bone tip, with no cracks, the condition is excellent.
An ex-voto is a votive offering to a saint or to a divinity. It is given in fulfillment of a vow (hence the Latin term, short for ex voto suscepto, "from the vow made") or in gratitude or devotion. Ex-votos are placed in a church or chapel where the worshiper seeks grace or wishes to give thanks. The destinations of pilgrimages often include shrines decorated with ex-votos.
Ex-votos can take a wide variety of forms. They are not only intended for the helping figure, but also as a testimony to later visitors of the received help. * Wikipedia
Our Lady of Lourdes is a Roman Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary venerated in honor of the Marian apparitions that reportedly occurred in 1858 in the vicinity of Lourdes in France. The first of these is the apparition of 11 February 1858, when 14-year old Bernadette Soubirous told her mother that a "lady" spoke to her in the cave of Massabielle *Wikypedia.

Yeah I think the hype is getting a little too much. Mayweather has played it pretty well to be honest, he's got a lot of people's hopes up by being brashful and arrogant (as he always is) but people close to him say that he's never trained as hard as he's trained for this fight so he's obviously taking it seriously.
Mayweather, cuts, round 9.

For all the talk of decline in America, here is a stat worth noting: America is expected to add five million millionaires over the next five years.
According to Credit Suisse, the United States is expected to have 16.9 million millionaires by 2017. (Millionaires are defined as those with total assets minus debts of more than $1 million). That would mark a 53 percent increase from America's 11 million millionaires today.
Credit Suisse says North America has 40, 000 residents worth $50 million or more.

The U.S. Attorney's Office approves reduced sentences for criminals who deserve them, but with the caveat that some crack cocaine dealers seeking early release from federal prison are violent. The Sun obscures the issue by claiming that federal crack guidelines led to convictions of "hundreds of thousands of petty offenders who were sentenced to long prison terms" ("Crack and the courts," Dec. 1). The truth is that only a few hundred Maryland drug dealers are eligible for sentence reductions. Most are far from petty offenders, and many belong to organizations that foment violence and terrorize law-abiding citizens.
It is unfair to assert that "federal prosecutors didn't do their job when they settled for putting dangerous criminals away on drug charges rather than prosecute them for violent crimes." More than 2,500 victims were murdered in Baltimore City during the past decade, and nearly 6,000 victims suffered nonfatal gunshots. Many of the perpetrators will never be convicted of those crimes. But much of the violence is drug-related, so prosecutors sometimes pursue federal drug distribution charges to help end the bloodshed.
Nobody accused Elliott Ness of incompetence when he nabbed Al Capone for federal tax evasion. Capone's gang committed many murders, including the infamous Valentine's Day Massacre of seven rival gang members. One victim was still alive when police arrived. Bleeding from fourteen bullet wounds, the gangster faithfully lied, "Nobody shot me." Federal prosecutors did their job by sending Capone to federal prison for the most serious readily provable crime.
The national murder rate doubled from 1960 to 1990, fueled by drug dealers. The murder wave has receded in most of the nation, and it is receding in Baltimore City. Still, Baltimoreans are murdered at a rate eight times the national average, and many of the killings are drug-related. Meanwhile, dealers are hooking the next generation of addicts and ruining their lives. Try telling the victims' families that drug dealers "pose little threat to public safety."
