Keeping campus secure earns SEOM
Billy Williams
Billy Williams, security system coordinator in Public Safety, is always ready to answer emergency calls—even when those calls come in the middle of the night! And fire, weather and security alerts rarely come at convenient times.
"Billy researched all the best practices for integrating new security systems with our old ones to provide a robust and dependable system," said Babette Money, Williams' supervisor in Public Safety and his nominator for Staff Employee of the Month for September.
"An example of our difficulties before he came here was the fact that we would have to run from Union Hall to Aquinas Hall to activate tornado sirens and the public address system. We can now monitor all alarms from Delaware Hall," said Money.
Williams has worked at Columbus State for about three years. Before coming to Columbus State, he worked at Simplex Grinnell, a fire alarm company. "I stole him from there," admits Money. "Having Billy here has saved the college quite a bit of money. He is always going the extra mile to serve our college, making sure our security systems are fully functional. And yes, we do call him 'Billy Joe' because he is from Hazard, Kentucky!"

Watford defender Marco Cassetti believes Hull are the best team he has come up against in the Championship this season as has urged his team-mates to learn from Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Vicarage Road.
Both sides went into the clash in the top six but it was the Tigers who looked a class above against a below-par Hornets, whose seven-match unbeaten run came to an end.
Former Italy international Cassetti, 35, applauded the Tigers' quality and hopes Watford can respond to the defeat in the right manner.
"We lost against a very good team," he told the club's official website. "This is the truth. We cannot cry because we didn't play very well and, for me, Hull City are the best team we have played against this year.
"They were very organised, had good players and were solid. All afternoon, it was difficult for us to play against them.
"The second half we had some chances. (Almen) Abdi hit a post and then Nat (Chalobah) had one saved on the line. Sometimes we will need some luck to be able to draw this type of match, but maybe it's not good for us to get anything because we didn't play well so we must learn from that."
Cassetti added: "We need to learn the lessons ready to start the the next game. Remember this game for the future. If we are in the same situation, we will deal better with the challenge."

Grand Rapids, Mich. - An overtime goal from freshman forward Gerald Mayhew lifted the nationally fourth-ranked Ferris State University men's ice hockey team to a exciting 5-4 victory over Alaska Anchorage and into the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) Final Five Championship game at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids.
Mayhew scored after a faceoff win from near the top of the circle 2:38 into the extra stanza for his second goal of the game as the Bulldogs stormed the ice and a mostly all Bulldog crowd of 4,494 fans went into a frenzy.
The win lifts the WCHA Regular-Season Champion Bulldogs into Saturday night's title contest at Van Andel Arena against Minnesota State. The two teams will play for the Broadmoor Trophy and the league's automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament with faceoff set for 7:07 p.m. (ET).
With the large Bulldog crowd behind them, the Bulldogs jumped out to the early advantage by scoring twice in the first 6:31 of the contest.
Mayhew opened the scoring with his fifth goal of the campaign on a power-play only 4:41 into the game. It was assisted by senior Cory Kane, who tallied his 15th assist of the year. Kane dropped the puck for Mayhew near the top of the crease for the chip past Alaska Anchorage netminder Rob Gunderson.
FSU then added another goal only 1:50 later when junior forward Justin Buzzeo found the back of the net for his 14th goal of the season. He stopped inside the circle and got the shot over the shoulder of Gunderson. Senior forward Garrett Thompson and sophomore defenseman Brandon Anselmini picked up their 15th and 11th assists of the year, respectively.
However, the Seawolves answered at 8:54 of the opening period when Brett Cameraon picked up his 10th goal this season on a tip in front of the net that just got by FSU junior goaltender and 2014 Hobey Baker Award finalist CJ Motte. It came off assists from Austin Coldwell, who fed the puck near the net, along with Blake Leask.
UAA then tied the contest back up at 7:16 of the second period when Austin Coldwell found the back of the net for his sixth lamplighter of the year.
The Seawolves took their first lead of the night less than two minutes later as Zack Russell put a rebound shot past Motte for his third marker of the campaign off assists from Dylan Hubbs and Andrew Pettit.
Alaska Anchorage's Hudson Friesen then gave UAA a 4-2 lead with his third goal this season at 11:22 of the second period. Both Tanner Dusyk and Hayden Trupp picked up the helpers.
Ferris State responded as senior forward Garrett Thompson tallied his team-leading 16th goal on a two-on-one situation at 12:50 of the middle frame to trim the margin back to 4-3 in the second.
Thompson's goal sparked the Bulldogs and brought the crowd to life as momentum swung back in FSU's favor. Soon after, senior forward Andy Huff directed a shot into the net at 15:29 of the second to tie the game back up. His 11th goal this season was aided by junior defenseman Jason Binkley along with freshman blueliner Ryan Lowney.
The two teams went into the second intermission tied at four goals apiece, but after a middle frame in which five total goals were scored, neither team was able to find the back of the net in the third.
Mayhew's overtime goal was assisted by Kane, who picked up his second helper of the evening. Both of his assists came on goals from Mayhew as the duo teamed up for the first and last goals of the night.
Alaska Anchorage held a decided 38-23 edge in total shots, but FSU had two of the three opportunities in the extra frame. The Seawolves outshot the Bulldogs 13-4 in the first period and also totaled 12 shots apiece in both the second and the third periods to eight and nine for FSU in each frame.
Motte finished with 34 saves in net for Ferris State while improving his nation-leading mark to 27-7-3 in net this year. Meanwhile, Rob Gunderson had eight saves and gave up four goals for UAA in the initial 40 minutes before giving way to Chris Kamal, who had 10 saves before the Bulldogs' game-winner.
Ferris State was called for three penalties totaling six minutes in the box with UAA totaling two penalties for four minutes. The Bulldogs held Alaska Anchorage scoreless in three power-play opportunities with FSU scoring once in two tries.
With the victory, Ferris State won its 28th contest of the year, which leads the nation. The Bulldogs are 28-9-3 overall heading into Saturday night's title game. Meanwhile, the Seawolves had their season come to a close with a 18-16-4 record.
Saturday night's title game appearance in the Bulldogs' debut season in the WCHA will represent FSU's first trip to a conference title game since facing Michigan in the CCHA Championship Game in 2003 at Joe Louis Arena.
Regardless of Saturday night's title game, the Bulldogs are virtually assured of making the NCAA Tournament when official selections are announced in a live televised broadcast on Sunday at noon. FSU will hold a "Selection Show" watch party at Buffalo Wild Wings in Big Rapids beginning at 11 a.m.
Tickets for Saturday night's title game can be purchased thru the Van Andel Arena Box Office. The game will also be shown live on Fox Sports Detroit.

Jack Brabham eased to his fourth successive win at the German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring, giving him an almost insurmountable lead in the drivers' championship.
The organisers were concerned in the build-up there would be insufficient entries and so invited 11 Formula Two entrants to bolster the field. Confusion then followed with plans laid for them to participate in a separate race, but eventually they started among the Formula One machines. As it was, the only major absence was Jo Siffert whose team could not agree on financial terms.
The highly-regarded Guy Ligier became the first casualty of the weekend when his blue Cooper-Maserati crashed almost as soon as it started practice and careered into trees. Although he hobbled away from the accident, he was taken to hospital with broken knees which ended his season. Jacky Ickx was the outstanding Formula Two driver in practice, quicker than three of the F1 cars.
The race took place in poor conditions, interminable drizzle leaving the track treacherous and led to frantic changing of tyres in the minutes before the off.
John Surtees took the lead off the line from Lorenzo Bandini, but before the first lap was completed Brabham had overtaken them both. That he was almost a minute off the lap record was an indication of how poor the weather was. Although Brabham remained in front, Surtees was never more than five seconds behind.
"At the beginning of the season I took a gamble with a reliable engine," Brabham said afterwards. "Not as powerful as some, but lighter, just the same as in 1959 and 1960. I just hoped we could do something this season but never believed it would turn out as well as this.
It was a close race and I needed all my skill and experience to stay in front. I'll remember the race itself and the satisfaction I got from driving my car to its absolute maximum when the title is fading from memory."
Despite the conditions, there was only one major incident in the race when Formula Two racers Jacky Ickx and John Taylor collided on the opening lap, causing Taylor's car to spin and burst into flames.
He suffered serious burns to his face and chest and was taken to hospital at Koblenz where he died from his injuries five weeks later. Ickx continued after helping Taylor from his car, but later retired with a damaged gearbox.

Reddit user shreaderman posted this photo of Jarron Collins, brother of Jason Collins, who came out last month. Being identical twins, he now gets mistaken for his more famous brother, which can be a hassle when trying to get through airport security, or when he just wants to go out without getting hit on. (Jarron is married.)
According to the Reddit thread, this was taken late last night outside Diddy Riese cookies in Westwood, Los Angeles. And no, Jarron Collins didn't have the shirt made up himself—received it as a gift during his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's show. "It'll save me a lot of time," Collins said, and apparently went right into his rotation.

Learning to live without "man's best friend"
Ten years ago, just before the 2000 election, we did something I never thought we would ever do...we became dog owners. My husband had dogs as a child and a cat when we were first married but never wanted to have a pet again--he didn't want to go through the heartbreak at the end of their short lives. I was not a dog person and had become allergic to cats, so pets were not on my bucket list either.
Our resolve quickly weakened, however, when our son started hinting he wanted a pet. (The popular TV show Wishbone and movie My Dog Skip, along with a field trip to the Wisconsin Humane Society added fuel to his pet passion fire.)
Maybe a dog would be a good companion for him, since he was an only child. We set aside all of our reasons for not wanting to own a dog, the nuisance, the expense, the work, and the heartbreak at the end, to give our child something he wanted so badly. We reluctantly agreed. And yes, we did get the usual promises that he would walk, feed, let the dog out, and clean up the yard, knowing full well they were just promises. (Just ask any mom who usually ends up doing all those tasks.)
The search was on.
Our son immediately started scouring the Internet for adoptable dogs. The price-tag for a purebred was out of the question; this dog would come from the humane society. Soon we were bombarded with an assortment of pooch profiles.
The first dog came from the Humane Animal Welfare Society in Waukesha. He was a 7 year old Silky/Yorkie mix charmer named Willie. We all fell in love immediately. Willie came home with us and seemed to fit right in. As time went on, however, our charming Dr. Jekyll turned into an evil, growling Mr. Hyde. We got pet counseling but it was too little too late; he bit my husband and drew blood. Hardly the pet you want for a young boy, and we knew we couldn't trust the dog again. Willie had to be returned and by law was destroyed. We were devastated. (We later found out H.A.W.S. didn't tell us of the problems at his former home that led to his surrender in the first place.)
Now we were approaching Chirstmas--not exactly the time to be getting a new dog. I kept assuring my son that God willing, we would find the right dog. Just pray and be patient.
Four days after Christmas, our son showed us a new dog profile. This one was at a rescue house in Aurora, Illinois. She was a 2 year old Westie we named Zoe, who also turned out to be a disaster. We soon found out she hated men. She hated boys. She only loved me! Hardly the right dog for our son. Two weeks later she went back to Aurora.
I still believed and assured my son that the right dog was out there, if we were patient. My son really didn't buy that but shortly after Zoe, the call came from the Wisconsin Humane Society. We have a Maltese mix young male dog here that meets your pet profile preferences. Since you are first on our list, when can you come in?
We had filled out a preference card with them back in November. Now they were calling because they had a dog who met our requirements: small and hypo-allergenic.
Come in? My son and I can be there now!
I still remember seeing "Walter" for the first time. (Walter was the name they assigned to him. We later found out he was a stray, so his real name was unknown.) He was in a small glass fronted room and ran up to the window to greet us. We could see he liked to play with stuffed animals. They let my son and I into the room and he promptly jumped up on us and wanted to play. He seemed very friendly. This one might be the one.
Unlike H.A.W.S., where you had to wait a day or two for adoption, the W.H.S. wanted you to make the adoption decision on the spot. We called up Dad and he came to meet Walter too. This one seemed right. Third time is a charm? And that is how we got Walter. Also unlike the other 2 adoption agencies, W.H.S. does extensive personality testing*. They don't adopt out problem dogs.
We brought him home trying to think of a better name for our new scruffy, white, dust mop of a dog than Walter! The first thing he did when he came in our home was mark the refrigerator 2 times. (We were told to expect that since he was 1 or 2 years old and was just neutered.) The next thing he did was run around the living room; he zipped around like he was running in the Kentucky Derby. So in a way, our dog named himself, with a little help from Dad, who suggested we call him Zipper because of it. His zippin' became his trademark.
Zipper was 13 pounds of friendly, and he loved everyone. He fit right in. His behavior in many ways was like that of our former 16 pound cat. In fact, we sometimes referred to him as a "dat", part dog and part cat. His size was perfect--small enough to pick up, large enough not to worry about. He was scruffy enough to not be considered a girly dog. Everyone he met loved him. Because of his size, people mistakenly thought he was a puppy. He was a hit when I would bring him to the Assisted Living home my dad stayed at. Walter certainly lived up to the Humane Society's personality assessment:* Life of the Party.
Our perennial puppy loved car rides, adored any drive through that gave treats, went camping with us, and sometimes went shopping with us. If you took a nap or were not feeling well, there he was at your side. Toast and pizza were 2 favorite foods, though he would eat most anything. We called him our omnivore. He sometimes got pesty when it was bedtime. It wasn't enough that we opened the door to our bedroom, no, he wanted company. Being part Maltese, he rarely barked. He did however sneeze when he wanted your attention. We think he had a touch of Terrier in him too as he was a terrorist when it came to destroying stuffed dog toys. He was smart too. Often he would pick up your gloves or socks and bring them to you, feigning he was going to chew them. That was his way of saying, give me my toy. He was loved.
About a year ago, we noticed he was having some stomach issues. Perhaps it was a bit too much turkey at Thanksgiving? I started him on some probiotics and that seemed to right the problem. Then at his annual checkup last February at our Holistic Vet, Silver Spring Animal Wellness Clinic, his blood work came back showing the dreaded news: he either had liver cancer or a hepatitis type infection. We started him on some herbs and supplements known to help enhance liver function.
He seemed to be doing pretty well with his supplements. His quality of life was good and he still acted like the eternal puppy when he wasn't napping. But as the summer drew to a close, we could see he was losing weight--three pounds is a lot to lose for a little 13 pound dog. He also seemed to get chilled easily, so we put his sweater on even in the house. One sure sign things weren't right was seeing him sit quietly next to a stuffed animal, like it was a friend, instead of shredding it.
Then he gave us a scare in late October with a G.I. crisis that fortunately passed fairly quickly, but we knew it was time. He rallied enough, thanks to Pepto-Bismol, to have a few okay days and one great last hurrah that included walking down our street on a glorious fall day, marking all his favorite places, rambling through the woods, and eating all the things he wasn't supposed to eat because of his liver problems.
It has been a little over 2 weeks since we had to say our final goodbyes to our pet pooch. We had him put down just before the 2010 mid term elections. So almost to the day, our 10 years of dog ownership came to an end. I am still not a dog person, but I loved our Zipper.
If you have had pets you understand how strange life is without them. Sometimes it is in a good way for our dog was not perfect. He had a bad habit of chewing on fleecy things like blankets and fleece throws. You could not leave a fleece jacket within his reach, for example, unless you wanted it to be customized with ventilation holes. Doors to rooms he might decide to mark can now be left open. Foods like pizza can be left unattended on the coffee table without fear of him helping himself.
But as I prepare dinner, I still find myself peeling an extra carrot for him. When we come home there is no one jumping up to greet us. At bedtime we find we miss that happy jingle of his dog tags as he ran up the stairs after us. We have his collar with tags hanging by our kitchen door. Sometimes it jingles from an air current; sometimes we give it a jingle for old time's sake. But whatever the reason, the tinkling sound evokes all the fond memories of life with Zip. He truly was the life of our party.
Past Post: My dog got mail!
*I was cleaning out our dog folder yesterday and came across Walter's original "Companion Profile" pet assessment from W.H.S. It gave specific instructions of how to deal with him. It stated he jumped up for attention but then settled down, liked to chew and play with toys, was a friendly happy little guy, was confident and outgoing, and marked. (He did improve on the marking problem.) All of those observations proved true, even to the end.
If you are thinking of adopting a dog, I recommend the Wisconsin Humane Society or any other group that screened their dogs for personality problems. That way, at least you have some idea of what you are in for. Not disclosing past problems proved to be a fatal mistake in Willie's case. He really needed a more experienced household.

Good to see a few Finsbury Park people on the board.
I read Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood and Pattern Recognition by William Gibson a bit earlier this year and they both blew me away (although the consensus on the Gibson is that it's shit.) I want to start a thread on them as soon as I can get my angle straight in my head.
Failed to finish Vernon God Little, although I don't know why - I found the distinctive voice that he's been praised for a bit offputting, I think. Anyone else?
Started Words and Music a while ago, and found it really exciting - I mean, it's ambitious isn't it? You know you're not reading Nick Hornby. - I'm not sure the Kylie dialogue (Kyalogue?) actually works beyond the odd joke, though. I know it got written about round here quite a bit, so I'll have to see what other people's
take was once I finish it.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's Toshiba Corp forecast a 34 percent jump in operating profit for this fiscal year, boosted by strong sales of its flash memory chips, but the outlook fell short of market expectations as it struggles to turn around its TV division.
Toshiba, a leading chipmaker in Japan and supplier to Apple Inc, said on Wednesday it expects its operating profit to reach 260 billion yen ($2.6 billion) for the year ending March 31, 2014, missing the average forecast of 345.7 billion yen profit among 21 analysts polled by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Toshiba Corporate Executive Vice President Makoto Kubo told reporters that the company had set a conservative estimate for this business year based on uncertainty in TV and computer markets, as well as risks related to its memory chip sales in the second half of the year.
Last month, SanDisk Corp raised its revenue forecast for this year and said it expects NAND memory chips to fetch higher prices.
For the year that ended in March, Toshiba logged an operating profit of 194.3 billion yen, down 4.1 percent from the previous year and undershooting its January guidance of 260 billion yen and an average 251.80 billion yen profit expected by 21 analysts polled by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
The No. 2 maker of NAND flash memory chips after Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, which also competes against Hitachi Ltd in nuclear reactors, blamed the weak performance on a 24.4 billion yen operating loss in its digital products division, which makes televisions and personal computers.
The TV division alone accounted for 50 billion yen in losses in 2012/13.
Shares in Toshiba, a $22 billion firm that employs more than 200,000 people worldwide and is one of Japan's biggest exporters, have rallied 52 percent since the beginning of the year, compared with a 37 percent rise on Tokyo's benchmark Nikkei average. ($1 = 99.0750 Japanese yen)

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
Muslim Employee Subjected to Hateful and Derogatory Harassment, Agency Charges
PHOENIX - A Phoenix aeronautical services company violated federal law by subjecting an employee to a hostile work environment because of his Middle Eastern/Arab national origin and because he is Muslim, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission charged in a lawsuit it filed yesterday.
According to the EEOC's suit, EEOC v. Swift Aviation Group, et al. (Case No. 2:12-cv-01867-MHB), Swift Aviation Group, which operates a private air terminal at Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix, subjected Adam Donmez to unlawful harassment because of his Turkish/Palestinian national origin and because he is Muslim. The alleged harassment included statements such as "I don't know why we don't just kill all them towelheads," asking Donmez why he was "dressed like [he was] gonna blow up the World Trade Center" and derogatory jokes about Arabs. The EEOC alleges that Donmez reported the harassment to supervisors and that management was aware that Donmez and other Middle Eastern employees had been subjected to harassment, but failed to stop it. The federal agency also said that the continued harassment resulted in intolerable working conditions for Donmez, forcing him to quit.
Harassment based on national origin or religion violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement through its conciliation process. The agency's suit seeks monetary relief, including back wages, and compensatory and punitive damages for Donmez. The EEOC also seeks an injunction prohibiting future harassment and discrimination, and other equitable relief.
"Employees, including Middle Eastern, Arab and Muslim employees, have a right to work in an environment free from discrimination and harassment," said Regional Attorney Mary Jo O'Neill of the EEOC's Phoenix District Office. "Employers have a legal obligation to take prompt, effective remedial action to stop ethnic and religious harassment and to prevent stereotypes about ethnic or religious groups from causing unlawful misconduct in the workplace."
EEOC District Director Rayford O. Irvin said, "Federal law protects employees from national origin and religious harassment. Employees should not dread going to work because they are being subjected to ethnic or religious harassment that robs them of their dignity and compromises their health and well-being."
Swift Aviation is an FBO, or fixed base operator, located at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Swift Aviation provides aeronautical services such as fueling and hangaring aircraft, aircraft sales, chartering of aircraft, aircraft maintenance, and amenities for flight crews and passengers. The company is headquartered in Phoenix.
The EEOC's Phoenix District has jurisdiction over Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and part of New Mexico (including Albuquerque).
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information is available at www.eeoc.gov.

Casual Wear
Your most pressing style questions answered
What do I wear when the dress code is smart casual?
Pretty much anything smarter than a tracksuit, but less formal than a suit. An ideal answer is a blazer, white shirt, neat jeans, and brown loafers. The key is not to worry about being over dressed; few people who matter will worry that you looked too good.
At what age does it become embarrassing to wear jeans? I don't want to look as though I'm trying too hard.
It's not about age; it's about attitude and abdomen. Jeans, like all flat-front trousers, are unforgiving and uncomfortable if you're not relatively slim. If you're in shape and you pick the right pair there's no reason not to wear them until you pop off.
My weekends are spent in the park with the kids. What can I wear that will look good, but go into the washing machine at the end of the day?
Start with solid brown-leather brogues or boots with moulded rubber soles, then add jeans or narrow-cut moleskin trousers, a cotton shirt, a wool sweater and a waxed-cotton jacket (with a quilted lining). What's intentionally missing from this list is sportswear in manmade fabrics; set your children an example by holding out against fleeces and tracksuit tops.
I divide my time between country and town. Please suggest clothes that will be appropriate in both.
There isn't much that works as well in Hoxton as it does in Herefordshire, but the key is to find clothes you like that are irreproachable in both environments. Let the city decide the cut, rather than buying baggy country clothes, but choose colours and fabrics that work in the country - think tweeds, moleskins and cottons in gold, brown, red, green, and blue.
Can I wear a T-shirt under a jacket in the summer?
Of course, especially if your name is Sonny Crockett. Actually, it's a great bohemian look. London dandy and stylist William Gilchrist frequently wears a T-shirt under a soft double-breasted jacket and the effect is admirable.
My friends dress very casually and it would be odd to wear a jacket and tie when I see them, but I cannot bring myself to go out for dinner in a T-shirt and hooded sweater. Is there a halfway house?
Yes: slim chinos, desert boots, a colourful belt (either woven or in canvas), a button-down shirt, a fitted cotton jacket, and perhaps a knitted tie. It will be smart enough to set you apart, but casual enough for you not to feel odd.
I am newly single and I want to update my wardrobe. What should I be looking for and what should I avoid, with a female audience in mind?
Do not try to reinvent yourself, because it will probably be unconvincing. Instead concentrate on updating the classics for a fresh and contemporary look. Jeans, shoes, shirts and suits mustn't look outdated or worn out. Few girls notice the intricacies of how a man dresses, but they are likely to notice your watch and your shoes; either can be taken as an indication of your income bracket, so make sure you're happy to be judged on them. And it's obvious, but make sure you reload your underwear drawer.
Why do people wear really garish tweeds?
Because when men step out of the sartorial comfort zone (blue jeans, white shirt, navy blazer) they can easily mistake eye-catching for elegant; there's a big difference between being notably well dressed and merely notable. Compared to sober city colours, tweeds are already imposing, so there's little need to turn up the volume.
I can't work out what it is about Italian men that makes them look both stylish and relaxed. How can I steal a bit of their elegance?
First, let's remember that many Italian men want to dress like an idealised Englishman. Second, you're not alone - it was precisely this question that inspired The Sartorialist to start his blog. Extreme conservatism plays a major role: the men you admire have been dressing the same way for years or even decades, so you'll need a high boredom threshold. As a function of this, clothes are bought for the long haul, and are more likely to be better made to start with and then altered for the perfect fit. Beyond that it's about subtle colour combinations, which frequently involve brown, grey and navy, and immaculate presentation. As Charles Eames once said: 'The details are not the details. They make the design.'
Does it really matter what I wear? It is surely reasonable to expect the people I meet socially to judge me on my behaviour, and the people I meet professionally to judge me on my results, not my ability to buy the right shirt.
Mark Twain said: 'Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.' We can't improve on that.

Money and BanksMoney and Banking
Given the way it's calculated, GDP can be driven up just as much by squandering wealth, as by building it up.
Economist Greg Mankiw confesses: I love the Federal Reserve. And I suspect that, in their heart of hearts, most other economists love the Federal Reserve, too.
While government spending re-allocates and distorts resources, it is not necessarily inflationary. Inflation really just stems from money creation and fractional-reserve lending carryied out by central banks and private banks — thus creating money "out of thin air."
Government spending doesn't create wealth. It destroys wealth.
The Gilets Jaunes are a crisis for the French state, and it remains to be seen if the French leviathan will use it to expand their powers.
A strong GDP growth rate, in most cases, is likely to be associated with the intensive squandering of the pool of real wealth.

There's a story out of Santa Barbara today about a UC Santa Barbara professor who went berserk in a campus free-speech area when she saw a pro-Life display with graphic pictures of aborted fetuses. She tried to lead a mob against it, grabbed a display and ran off with it, and then got into a physical altercation with a 16-year-old. And just who was this professor?
The professor at the heart of the controversy is Mireille Miller-Young, an associate professor whose area of emphasis is black cultural studies, pornography and sex work, according to her faculty webpage. She could not be reached for comment Tuesday by The College Fix.
A check at her website confirms that she's not a white person dabbling in black cultural studies but is, instead, a black person.
So, to recap: A black woman who's entire intellectual life revolves about being black violently attacked an anti-abortion display. Gawd, she must really hate herself. And no, she doesn't hate herself because of her lack of self-control; she clearly hates herself because she's black.
Just to clarify what seems like a rather blithe conclusion, let me add some other facts to the mix:
The number of black babies aborted in New York in 2012 –31,328 — was greater than the number of black babies born in New York in 2012 –24,758. Moreover, although blacks are only 25% of the New York population, 42% of all New York abortions were black babies.
Between 1994 and 2010, black Mississippi women aborted 39,000 fetuses. Over the same period, white women aborted 14,500 fetuses. Put another way, over a 16 year period, black women had abortions at a rate more than twice that of white women. While blacks make up 37% of Mississippi's population, they accounted for 72% of its abortions.
In 2011, throughout the entire US, 7,380 blacks were homicide victims. So yes, these posters are correct:
We often speak of self-loathing Jews, people such as George Soros or Noam Chomsky, who are deeply hostile to Judaism and Israel. We don't speak often enough about self-loathing blacks. Only someone deeply conflicted about herself and her place in society would violently attack members of an organization that are working hard to save tens of thousands of black children annually from a premature death.
You know that I'm not hardcore pro-Life. Instead, I'm a former abortion supporter who is finding it harder and harder to carve out any legitimate moral and intellectual ground to support America's abortion culture. People such as Professor Miller-Young are facing the cognitive dissonance of abortion, not be sitting back and reevaluating the facts and revisiting their values, but by engaging in violence so that they can avoid that kind of reevaluation. (It is, I should add, a painful process.)

Statute of limitations based on claim type
Q. I need to sue someone in small claims court. I know there is a "statute of limitations" for how long you have to file suit. What is the time period for small claims court?
A. You are correct that there is a time period, called the statute of limitations, for how long you have to file a lawsuit. The limitations period, however, is based on the nature of the claim, not the court. For example, as a general rule, a lawsuit for a breach of contract must be filed with four years of the date you enter into the contract. A claim based on "tort," such as an auto accident, must be filed within two years of when you are injured, and claims under our Deceptive Trade Practices Act must be filed within two years of when you discovered or should have discovered the deceptive act or practice. The rules regarding the statute of limitations can be complicated, however, so it is a good idea to file a lawsuit as quickly as possible.
Q. My father recently passed away. I was named executor in his will. My father lived in an apartment and owned very little. I discovered, however, that he did owe a lot of money to a few credit card companies. Now the credit card companies want to be paid. As executor, am I responsible for my father's debts?
A. The executor is the person in charge of putting the terms of a will into effect. The primary role of the executor is gathering up the assets of the estate and distributing them to the creditors and beneficiaries of the deceased. In the event that the estate does not have sufficient assets to pay the deceased debts, the executor is not responsible. I suggest you contact the creditors and let them know your father has died and that there are no assets in his estate.
Q. I had a small fender-bender. It was clearly the other person's fault. His insurance company has offered to settle but for much less than I think I am entitled to recover. Can I sue them in small claims court?
A. If you cannot work out a settlement with the insurance company, you can sue in small claims court. You do not, however, sue the insurance company. You should file your claim against the person who caused the accident, and they then bring the insurance company into the lawsuit.
Q. I have one of my daughters named as the beneficiary of a CD. I just prepared a will dividing all of my property between my two daughters. Does my will apply to the CD?
A. Your will does not affect beneficiaries name in other accounts, such as a CD or 401k. If you want your daughters to divide the proceeds of the CD, you need to change the beneficiary designation.

She is an active voice on many issues and concerns of the neighborhood, from graffiti and business concerns to rezoning and actively fighting to save the Forest Park Carousel.
She wears many hats – she is the executive director of the Greater Woodhaven Development Corporation (GWDC), the president of the Woodhaven Business Improvement District (WBID), president of the 102 Precinct Community Council, a Woodhaven Residents' Block Association board member, and a 25-year Community Board 9 member.
The civic-mindedness was always with her, but didn't really kick in until she moved to Woodhaven from the Bronx 43 years ago. Thomson moved to Woodhaven after she married her husband.
"I loved the neighborhood and what it offered," she said. "But when a fire at the Woodhaven Library broke out one year, it drove me to get involved. It was a rude awakening for me."
Before that fire, she was already active within the 102 Precinct, but it forced her to become more involved in the community. She soon became president of the Woodhaven Residents' Block Association and as president was able to secure a building where the block association could have a permanent home.
Shortly after, when she became executive director for the GWDC, she said she was able to further serve the area.
"Through the GWDC, we've been able to clean up graffiti, paint the elevated J Train platform, receive funding to renovate the Forest Parkway Plaza, and push to landmark the carousel," she said. "We've been very instrumental in getting a new concessionaire for it."
Thomson is also behind the Wonderful Woodhaven Street Festival each October and hosts holiday gatherings and promotions in the neighborhood.
Now, one of the main issues she continues to push for is the rezoning of the area to maintain its character and funnel development toward the commercial corridors such as Jamaica and Atlantic Avenues.
And being involved in so many community organizations doesn't slow her down.
"The satisfaction of stabilizing the community, keeping it safe and preserving what we have here keeps me going," she said. "I want this neighborhood to stay good and make sure it's attractive to new families."

Drawing food is always fun because there is so many different types of goodies to draw. In this tutorial I will show you "how to draw food for kids", step by step. Instead of the typical hamburger, fries and drink, I chose to make a meal that represented summer in a single image. Of course the soda I drew is a soft drink that comes from a fountain machine, but other than that, the hot dog and hamburger are traditional items that fill the bellies of folks across the world. Even though it may not seem like it now, this lesson is going to be fun, exciting and it may even make you hungry. Of course you can add additional items like some french fries or chips, I decided to keep it simple. Have fun drawing food for kids guys and remember to grill up some yums.

Shapelings, in a few weeks I'll be giving a public lecture at my new academic institution. In the lecture I plan on doing a theologically-inflected Fat Acceptance 101. Or perhaps it will be a Theology of Embodiment 101 with a big helping of Fat Acceptance. I don't know, because I haven't written it yet. But it would help me out tremendously if you could post or send anecdotes/examples of lefty religious settings — especially white liberal churches who fancy themselves tolerant and welcoming — engaging in either fat shame or fat acceptance.
I wish I could give the pertinent details but I keep my online identity separate from my work identity. But do know that I thank you very very much for the help, and will credit anyone whom I quote or whose work I use, in whatever way you wish.

2007 Testimonials
As a parent, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. In practice and games, Coach Jameson stayed wonderfully focused on fundamentals and let the girls experience the painful reality of poor passes or sloppy dribbling. It made them want to work on these critical fundamentals. This is what I had in mind for our daughter with the Matrix. Focusing on game situation or pressing in advance of ability would only have resulted in sloppy basketball and not true skills development.
Hope to see you next season. Best wishes and you have a friend in the McDonald family.

I was thinking this morning how happy my daughter has been since we got involved with Matrix AAU. Just wanted to say thanks!
And I'd also like to say what a great job Coach Paul and Boll have done with the girls. My daughter is clearly not the same player/child she was back in March and the team is soooo much better.
Yes we do have a 10-12 mile commute for practices, but it is worth it!!

Our daughter has tremendously enjoyed playing basketball with the Matrix and you and your fellow coaches have made a significant impact in her basketball development. Thank you very much for all your continued support and dedication."

I was talking with the assistant activities director at Washington-Lee, a gym teacher at W-L and a former W-L coach recently when the assistant AD asked, "Why do we have such strong freshman on our JV girls basketball team?"
I said you can thank Arlington Matrix Basketball for this!! If it were not for Matrix basketball, these girls would not have the skills to play at this level.
I went on to tell them to look around all of the Arlington freshman teams -- W-L, Yorktown, Wakefield -- all have players who were lucky enough to be in the Matrix program. And I added that that thanks to the help of the Matrix, you will continue to see many more talented players coming up.
At the middle school level, I went to the Swanson - Williamsburg girls basketball game recently and was surprised that the level of play there. My daughter is loving it there at Swanson. So many of the seeds that the Matrix has planted and are planting are growing into wonderful players.
The Matrix is doing amazing things for girls basketball.

Blood transfusion
The average adult body contains between 4.7 and 5.2 litres of blood. If a lot of blood is lost, it must be replaced or the patient will die. Transfusions were not a common procedure until the 1900s. Attempts had been made as far back as the 1600s, but blood transfusion was not always safe and many people died in experiments to transfuse blood from patient to patient or animals to humans.
It was only when the Austrian medical scientist Karl Landsteiner developed techniques to identify blood types in 1909 that blood transfusion could be conducted with a degree of safety. Further experiments by Landsteiner discovered the 'rhesus factor', in which blood is identified as positive or negative.
By 1910, with sodium citrate as an anticoagulant, blood could be refrigerated and stored. During the First World War (1914-18), Geoffrey Keynes, a British surgeon, worked to develop a portable machine that could store blood to enable transfusions to be carried out more easily. It is thought that the first blood transfusion on the battlefield was performed in 1818 by the Prussians (Germans) directly from one patient to another.
By the 1930s blood plasma and red blood cells could be separated and could be stored for longer. Blood types - the rhesus blood-group system - were identified around 1939-40. By the Second World War new techniques of refrigeration and plasma storage meant that blood banks could be established and blood was available for any patient who needed it.
Blood banks are now a standard part of medical practice. However, there are differences in their organisation. Some countries only take donations from volunteers, while others pay people for their blood. Although blood transfusion can be a life-saving procedure, without proper screening diseases can unfortunately be passed from the donor to the recipient.

Cassie grew up in a small town at the very tip of southern Illinois. A tomboy, she spent most of her time outside and got into big trouble for breaking the trellis while climbing out her second-story bedroom window.When her family moved to L.A., major culture shock ensued.
She discovered that grapefruits grew on trees, television offered more than two channels, and all the other girls had breasts. While hiding out and waiting for her chest to develop, she read voraciously, raiding her mothers bookshelf for Mickey Spillane when she finished all her Nancy Drew novels.Another move took her family to Denver, the place Cassie still calls home.She graduated from North Central college outside Chicago, got married, and returned to Colorado where she worked in personnel at the Denver Post and lived in a mountain cabin without running water.
Upon learning she was pregnant, a return to civilization seemed prudent. She settled in Denver, raised two amazing daughters, and started writing for Harlequin. After her divorce, she took a break from romance and wrote straight suspense.During her frantic years as a single mom, writing books and working odd jobs to supplement her income, she hardly had time to breathe, much less to dream. Then something remarkable happened.
She fell in love with a tall, sexy man who was an aerial photographer and the author of tough-guy mystery novels. Fortunately, he loved her back. She found her real-life hero, inherited three more grown kids and three grandchildren.Cassie started writing romance again, loving every minute of a life filled with laughter, crazy road trips, sailboats, and journeys to Oregon with long walks on rocky beaches.Not too long ago, the love of her life developed inoperable pancreatic cancer.
With supportive friends and family standing by, he died at home.Cassie now lives alone, surrounded by beautiful memories. She has no regrets and considers herself lucky to have found her soul mate, the man with whom she shared a perfect love.Pseudonym/s: Kay Bergstrom

Adam Sherman's Crazy Eyes doesn't stop with the standard disclaimer about how any resemblance between its story and real life is coincidental. Instead, it follows it with voiceover from lead Lukas Haas: "In reality, every bit of this happened just the way you're about to see it." That claim would normally precede a hard-hitting political drama or a gritty look at the life of a corrupt cop, but Sherman's feature turns out to be enamored of the kind of reality that gets left out of movies not because it's provocative or controversial, but because it isn't particularly interesting.
Haas, playing a character inspired by Sherman himself, is an indolent trust-fund kid whose life mainly seems to consist of drinking, doing drugs, drinking, losing consciousness, waking up mid-afternoon with a splitting headache, then doing it again. There are women mixed in there as well, though he can't always remember who they are or whether he had sex with them. But none makes much of an impression until he meets Madeline Zima, whom he promptly nicknames "crazy eyes." He's instantly obsessed with her, but though she's a prodigious binge drinker who strips down to her underwear and sleeps in his bed on numerous occasions, she draws the line at sex, insisting she's faithful to a boyfriend who never seems to materialize.
Short of having "Bad News" tattooed on her forehead in Comic Sans, Zima could hardly indicate more clearly that Haas' best move is to lose her number, smash his cell phone, and move to another state. But he keeps after her all the same, for reasons Crazy Eyes never bothers to articulate beyond repeated use of the phrase "struggle-fuck." (Pause. Remove vomit from mouth. Continue.) At one point, she offers herself to him on the condition that he first choke her until she passes out; mercifully, he does not succeed.
Perhaps it's because from the correct angle Zima looks like Zooey Deschanel after a six-day coke binge, but Crazy Eyes sometimes plays like an acid satire on the way movies peddle as attractive qualities that would make real-life partners intolerable, or certifiable. But after the movie is done grinding that noxious trope into the ground, all that's left is an oily smudge, and a sour taste in the back of the throat.

Hi, i am a game developer and have published 5 full games already. You can play them for free here and my website is: http://unity3d.ca.. So, my idea or offer is to make a video game featuring theFIXX and make it available to the public. That is only if im allowed to with theFIXX's permission and it is to their liking. I have no clue on what the video game would be about or the details about it yet. But this idea might be a good idea to promote theFIXX ? David Bowie was featured in a video game called OMIKRON link here and there are many other bands whom have been featured in a video game.Another video game featuring bands is Twisted Metal link hereI don't know if i am worthy enough to make a video game for theFIXX , but i am sure as hell willing to try it for free if they give the okay. What do you all think of this idea ?
edit*** incase you might want to know how long it takes me to make one of the 5 games i published... it took an average of 2 months per game with a basic idea of what i wanted the game to be b4 i started making it ...also i was the only one making the games... so if i was to make a game for this halloween, now would be the ideal time to start so that it would be ready on halloween and even a month early
edit#2 ** i can also make this video game a PC standalone game meaning you would not have to play it online through the webbrowser ..actually i have found that a PC standalone game is the best solution since the quality becomes superb and has no size limits.. so the full game could be like 5gb and a download link for it could be made for all to download it and play it ! but i can also do both webbrowser or pc standalone but the webbrowser game would have to be limited in size

Court officials have released a letter that Dottie Sandusky wrote to Judge John Cleland after her husband, former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, was convicted on 45 counts of child sex abuse.
Dottie wanted the judge to consider what she had to say before he sentenced Jerry Sandusky to 30 to 60 years for those crimes.
A portion of the letter seems to be a response to allegations that Dottie knew her husband was abusing boys in the basement of their home. During the trial, Victim No. 9 testified that he screamed for help from that basement bedroom as Jerry Sandusky sodomized him and forced him to perform oral sex, but that no one answered his yells for help.
U.S. & World
Read the letter below:
Dear Judge Cleland:
I am Dottie Sandusky, Jerry Sandusky's wife of 46 years in September. It is with a heavy heart I write this to you. I have known Jerry for 47 years and he has always been truthful with me, even if it hurt. He is a very up front man and a man of very high morals.
Jerry always put others before himself and always wanted to make each person feel special no matter who they were. Like all of us he has his faults, one is he cares so much for people always wanting them to reach their potential. Therefore he pushes them hard. One 42 year old man who was in the Second Mile stopped by the other day and told me how thankful he is to Jerry for pushing him to be the best he could be. He said, "What I learned from Jerry has made me a better husband and father." This is a young man who had many strikes against him.
Jerry was a wonderful father to our six children. We thank God each day for bringing them into our life. He treated each one as if they were our biological children. Our house was a fun house with lots of games, picnics, laughs and caring. There were always lots of people around whether it was friends of our kids, Second Mile kids or neighbors.
I never saw him doing anything inappropriate to any child, if I had, as a Mother and Grandmother I would have taken action. Jerry is not the monster everyone is making him out to be.
Many times he would give up much of his free time, which was not many hours when he was a coach, to make a sporting event of one of the kids he was trying to help. Sometimes we would drive two hours to spend time with these kids.
One of the accusers called Jerry and said he could not do his school work because his computer broke and Jerry found a used computer that someone was not using and gave it to him. Fact is most of the things he gave to the accusers were used or given to him by people who wanted to help these young men.
I use to believe in our protective system, but now have no faith in the police or legal system. To think that they can lie and get by with the lies. The press has been unbelievable. People who have not met us are writing untruths.
As far as our son Matt goes, people need to know what kind of person he is. We have forgiven him many times for all he has done to our family thinking that he was changing his life, but he would always go back to his stealing and lies. He has been diagnose with Bipolar, but he refuses to take his medicine. He has had many run-ins with the law and stolen money and items from our family. We still love him and want the best for him, but because of his actions we cannot express this to him.
I pray each day that God will give me the strength to do what is right and that I will be able to hold our family together.
Thank you for listening.
Dorothy D. Sandusky
The Sandusky sex scandal prompted the firing of Joe Paterno, who was blamed, along with school administrators, for knowing about reports that Sandusky was abusing boys, and choosing to protect the image of the school and its football program rather than the children.
Sandusky has always maintained his innocence, and on the eve of his sentencing he recorded a defiant jailhouse statement, blaming a web of conspiracy for his downfall. During his sentencing hearing the next morning, he rambled on for 18 minutes, mostly about himself, in what some court observers called a delusional rant.
Sandusky's attorneys say that even though at the age of 68 his sentence is in effect a life sentence, Sandusky is convinced he'll be vindicated. They plan to appeal his case by arguing that they did not have enough time to adequately prepare for trial.

Alisa Baumgartner notched her first goal of the season against the Tigers Friday night (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The No. 10 Harvard women's hockey team (12-8-2, 11-4-2 ECAC) fell to Princeton (12-11-1, 9-7-1 ECAC) at the Bright Hockey Center in a see-saw battle Friday night, that saw three lead changes. Although the loss snaps Harvard's six-game win streak, the Crimson remains in second place in the ECAC behind No. 2 Cornell, and Princeton moves within five points of Harvard in the ECAC standings.
With the game tied 2-2 in the third period, Denna Laing scored the game-winning goal off the rebound of Olivia Mucha's shot 5:45 into the third period to put the Tigers back up for good, 3-2. Despite two power-play opportunities, a hit post, and an extra attacker in the last 1:05, Harvard could not find the equalizer, and Princeton preserved the 3-2 lead to the final buzzer. Princeton outshot Harvard 8-6 in the final period, but the Crimson ended with an overall 27-23 shot advantage.
Princeton skated out to its first lead late in the first period when Corey Stearns capitalized on the Tigers' power play. Crimson goaltender Laura Bellamy had stopped the first two shots of the sequence, but Mucha found Stearns on the far post, and with Bellamy out of position, Stearns buried the puck for the tally. Despite being outshot 9-5, the Tigers held a 1-0 lead at the end of the first period.
Harvard erased the 1-0 deficit 7:41 in the second period to make the score 1-1 on Liza Ryabkina's 10th goal of the season. Jillian Dempsey initiated the scoring play when she fired a well-placed shot on Princeton goaltender Rachel Weber's right leg, leading to a rebound that Ryabkina picked up and went top-shelf over Weber's shoulders. On the play, Ryabkina and Dempsey both extended their point streaks to six games, with 10 points (4G, 6A) for Ryabkina and eight points (2G, 6A) for Dempsey over that span.
The Crimson struck again with 6:40 left in the period to go up 2-1 when Josephine Pucci found Alisa Baumgartner waiting alone on the top of the crease. Baumgarter then stick-handled to Weber's left and lofted the puck just above Weber's glove for her first goal of the season. Elizabeth Parker also recorded an assist on the play. However, the Tigers were determined to come back – after Tigers' captain Laura Martindale came close, hitting the post with 3:00 remaining in the period, the Tigers responded just 11 seconds later. After winning a faceoff in the offensive zone, Laing passed the puck back to Charissa Stadnyk, whose slap shot trickled past Bellamy
The Crimson wraps up its quick two-game homestand when it welcomes Quinnipiac to Bright Hockey Center tomorrow afternoon in a 4 p.m. matchup.

When once asked, 'What is the definition of sin?' Billy Graham gave the following answer:
A sin is any thought or action that falls short of God's will. God is perfect, and anything we do that falls short of His perfection is sin.
The Bible actually uses a number of examples or "word pictures" to illustrate what this means. For example, it tells us that sin is like an archer who misses the target. He draws back his bow and sends the arrow on its way—but instead of hitting the bull's-eye, it veers off course and misses the mark. The arrow may only miss it a little bit or it may miss it a great deal—but the result is the same: The arrow doesn't land where it is supposed to.
The same is true of sin. God's will is like the center of that target—and when we sin, we fall short of His will or miss the mark. And this is something we do every day; as the Bible says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). Even when we aren't aware of it, we commit sin by the things we do (or fail to do), or by the way we think.
This is why we need Christ, for only He can forgive us all our sins, and only He can help us live the way we should. We can't forgive ourselves, nor can we change our hearts and make ourselves better in God's eyes.
Mr. Graham has also been asked whether all sins are equal in God's eyes. This was his answer:
It is always difficult and dangerous to attempt to list sins according to their degree of seriousness. In one sense, all sins are equal in that they all separate us from God. The Bible's statement, "For the wages of sin is death …" (Romans 6:23), applies to all sin, whether in thought, word, or deed.
At the same time, it seems obvious that some sins are worse than others in both motivation and effects, and should be judged accordingly. Stealing a loaf of bread is vastly different than exterminating a million people. Sins may also differ at their root.
Theologians have sought for centuries to determine what the essence of sin is. Some have chosen sensuality, others selfishness, and still others pride or unbelief. In the Old Testament, God applied different penalties to different sins, suggesting variations in the seriousness of some sins. A thief paid restitution; an occult practitioner was cut off from Israel; one who committed adultery or a homosexual act or cursed his parents was put to death (see Exodus, chapter 22 and Leviticus, chapter 20).
In the New Testament Jesus said it would be more bearable on the day of judgment for Sodom than for Capernaum because of Capernaum's unbelief and refusal to repent after witnessing His miracles (Matthew 11:23-24). The sins of Sodom were identified in Ezekiel 16:49-50 as arrogance, gluttony, indifference to the poor and needy, haughtiness, and "detestable things."
When Jesus spoke of his second coming and judgment, he warned that among those deserving punishment some would "be beaten with many blows" and others "with few blows" (Luke 12:47-48). He also reserved His most fierce denunciations for the pride and unbelief of the religious leaders, not the sexually immoral (Matthew 23:13-36).
However, remember that whether our sins are relatively small or great, they will place us in hell apart from God's grace. The good news is that Jesus paid the penalty for our sins and the sins of the whole world at the Cross. If we will repent and turn to Jesus in faith, our sins will be forgiven, and we will receive the gift of eternal life.
Find Peace with God
The BGEA is committed to reaching the lost with the Good News that our sins can be forgiven when we make a decision for Christ. If you haven't accepted Jesus as your Savior, we invite you to find peace with God today.
