Security Breach At Lambert Airport
Transportation Security Administration
Lambert Airport
By Chris Regnier
(KTVI - myFOXstl.com) -- There are new developments in the Lambert security breach.
Two security officers are suspended without pay after a homeless man slipped by them early Wednesday morning at a vehicle checkpoint.
The guards work for Whalen Security- the company's president, Greg Twardowski, told FOX 2 News over the phone that he is extremely concerned about what took place.
He's not the only one- an aviation expert and passengers are also speaking out.
"Obviously it was a thoughtless breach of security," said SLU aviation expert Mel Burkart about the incident.
Airport officials say the Whalen Security officers were searching cars when a homeless man walked right past them.
The man then found his way into a Trans States Airlines regional jet- where he fell asleep until an airline employee found him.
Burkart says outside areas around airports are the weakest links in security.
"The potential is there. You know you have an airport like St. Louis that has hundreds of acres of ground and it has a fence up all the way around it but it's not monitored and it's not under total security vigilance day and night," explained Burkart.
T.S.A. officials tell us the breach shows the importance of layered security.
That is security from T.S.A., airports and airlines.
T.S.A.. spokesperson Carrie Harmon said, "We all recognize that these layers are important because no single layer is 100 percent full proof 100 percent of the time."
Authorities say the 58 year old homeless man has been released from custody until warrants are issued.
We're told that might not come until Monday and that the man could face a misdemeanor trespassing charge.
The entire episode is still making passengers uneasy.
We asked passenger Dave Jenner if the breach made him nervous about security.
Dave said, "Of course it does because anything can happen at anytime and when we take our eyes off what's going on, that's when it happens."
Airport officials tell FOX 2 News measures have been taken to try and make sure what happened Wednesday doesn't happen again.
A Trans States spokesperson says he's pleased that workers from his company followed security procedures and checked the jet finding the man.

Posts Tagged 'low impact exercise'
Heavy Impact
Osteoarthritis affects more than 10,000 Americans annually. This degenerative joint disease makes basic tasks incredibly painful for those with severe cases. New studies have shown that weight can play a big culprit in the on-set of osteoarthritis.
Doctors at the Johns Hopkins Arthritis Center have found that an obese woman of average height who loses 11 pounds reduces her risk of knee osteoarthritis by 50 percent. That may seem unlikely, until you look at the numbers. A 10 pound weight gain adds an increase of force on the knee by up to 30-60 pounds, per step. That means if you've added on 20 pounds it's like you're putting the force of an entire other person onto your knees. Simple tasks like exercising and taking joint supplements can help reduce the effects of osteoarthritis.
Low Impact Exercise for Knee Osteoarthritis – Walking
Walking. It doesn't cost anything. It doesn't require special equipment or a an instructional video. You don't need a membership to a gym. Just get up and start.
A terrific low-impact exercise program can begin with you walking just 30 minute a day. You can do it just about anywhere. Malls, a trail, the beach, a long sidewalk, parks, treadmills, anywhere you can safely put one foot in front of the other.
Walking will help lubricate your joints, elevate your heart rate, and get you working up a sweat. Walking is a great low-impact exercise that can be an effective treatment option for your knee osteoarthritis. If your excuse for not walking is that your knee hurts, try an arthritis knee brace to relieve your pain and get you up and moving,
Low Impact Exercise to Treat Knee Osteoarthritis
What is low impact exercise? It is a gentle form of exercise that places minimal stress on your knees and joints. As long as you keep one foot on the ground during your work-out you will be exercising in a low impact manner. Low impact exercise can help you lose weight which will make your arthritic knees feel better.
Exercise is an important treatment option to help ease the pain associated with your osteoarthritis of the knee. Low impact exercise does not stress your joints and will help your heart, your waist line, your flexibility, your strength, and also help lubricate your knees.
This series of posts will show you some exercises to get you up and moving.

Former Jamestown Middle School employee faces additional peeping, indecent liberties charges
JAMESTOWN, N.C. — A former Jamestown Middle School media specialist is facing additional peeping and indecent liberties charges, according to a press release.
Christopher Allen Reeves, 46, was initially charged with two counts of peeping using a photographic image obtained in violation of the peeping statute. He now faces two counts of indecent liberties with a student, one count of peeping using a photographic imaging device and one count of possessing a photographic image obtained in violation of the peeping statute.
"With the assistance of the staff of Guilford County Schools, and an overwhelming response from the community, the Guilford County Sheriff's Office is able to announce that multiple individuals with crucial information have been identified and located," the release reads. "The sheriff's office is extremely grateful for the help of school personnel, media outlets, parents, students and community members who have assisted with this case."
On April 30, detectives began investigating after an employee at Jamestown Middle reported suspicious images on an electronic storage device at the school.
Multiple electronic devices were collected and images were recovered. Those images were taken from a camera which had been hidden in a changing room at the school sometime between January 2013 and December 2015.
"We are deeply troubled by this news, and thank the person who acted quickly to notify administration and law enforcement of a concern," Dr. Trent Vernon, Jamestown Middle principal, said of the incident. "We are doing all we can to support our Jamestown students, families and staff during this difficult time."
In 2011, Reeves was featured in an article in the Jamestown News about an anti-bullying campaign, where he admitted he had been bullied.
"I have a boisterous personality and people have a hard time believing I was quiet in middle school," he was quoted as saying in the article. "I learned to stand up and be myself. Kids need to know they can be themselves."
Reeves received an additional $7,500 to his initial $10,000 bond.
Anyone with additional information about this crime should call the Sheriff's Office at (336) 641-3355 or Crime Stoppers at (336) 373-1000.

Preparedness gets one far enough to fake the rest.
In all the ways I could have thought of, I'm prepared. Of course, its the surprises, the orange brown snakes in the autumn leaf pile that get you. Despite how hard I try, I've been gotten over and over again. Little divots and holes in my arms and legs where sharp needle teeth sank in. Poison coloring my skin. I turn into a sunset sky, then slowly, night.
Death is both black and white. I'm orange, yellow, purple, blue. My lines are colored outside the marks — you point out. Not with a hand or a finger but a gesture. Two bodies, ships passing one another in the silent bay. Neither captain calls because why would we?
Next, is a bike in a box. It's funny complicated infuriating when you try, try, try and still can't get the pedals off. The handle bars won't go. The tires come off, go on, come off, twist round and tangle cables around your neck. Lift the body out one more time for the grave and this next time, it'll stay settled.
Tape. One of those minor details easily forgotten. But the store up the street has got some and if you sell your ideologies to the devil — you can have it.
Got it.
Cab comes or already came? We drive off together and I don't pay any attention. Now, why would I? Trust is a funny thing I like to just engage in. Jump off bridges and don't look back. Stranger, watch my bags — but we're at the airport and that's a big no-no. Dump my tea down a sink because security says I can't drink it fast enough. Wait while my solar bag is scanned because of just that. Books like bricks clutter the top, bottom, middle. A feast for a bag and bad for my back.
Dinner is crackers, dehydra apples, and sausage I cut hours ago. Tea that should stop my skull bones from separating from my nose bones from my jaw bone up in the air.
Metal needle pokes a hole in the sky. Inside, there's cells that drink beer, water, wine. Pay the wrong cost at the wrong time and nibble on cheap, stale pretzels twisted by machine arms.
I'm no bird and I hate to fly. But this nomad heart takes the means it can to get me where I need to go.
Back home.

Moody's confirms NZ govt can spend more and keep Aaa rating
By Rebecca Howard
Aug. 10 (BusinessDesk) - New Zealand has "room to manoeuvre" in fiscal spending and there is no immediate downside pressure on its Aaa rating, said Matthew Circosta, sovereign analyst for Moody's Investors Services, a global credit rating agency.
The Labour-led coalition is committed to reducing net debt to 20 percent of GDP by the year to June 2022 from around 22 percent currently but spending pressures are increasing as it focuses on improving living standards and looks to shore up major infrastructure. As a result, Finance Minister Grant Robertson has come under pressure to ease the so-called budget responsibility rules that tie him to that target.
Circosta said one of the key things underpinning New Zealand's rating is its institutional strength - which is rated at very high plus - and its fiscal strength. While he acknowledged the potential for some "fiscal slippage" as the government targets things like health, education and social welfare spending, "the broader point is that there is room here to manoeuvre."
According to Circosta, the focus on improving living standards, in addition to maximizing growth and employment outcomes, "underscores the institutional capacity of the government and also the fiscal flexibility it has to be able to implement these types of measures."
He said the rating would only be threatened if both institutional strength and fiscal strength were to markedly deteriorate.
Circosta was also upbeat about New Zealand's economic growth and said the growth outlook is "relatively stable." His comments contrasted with the central bank that yesterday held rates at a record low 1.75 percent and said it now expects to keep them lower for longer on concerns about softer-than-expected economic growth.
"We don't see it (the economy) building as quickly as we did before, so we are going to have to continue to support it for a bit longer," deputy governor Geoff Bascand said.
According to Circosta, however, while growth has softened somewhat it remains "well-placed" at around 2.5 percent on average over the next two years.
"That is still relatively strong when you look at New Zealand's growth in relation to peers," he said, noting the median among the 12 Aaa-rated sovereigns is 2.4 percent.

Kraken is one of the most popular crypto currency exchanges. It is currently the world's leader, in terms of Bitcoin to EUR trading volumes.
|Payward, Inc,
The Kraken exchange is operated by the San Francisco-based Payward Inc. The company is not under direct regulation by any agency, but this is not unusual in the crypto currency space (at least for now).
The company's overall reputation is pretty solid. It hasn't experienced any major hacks yet. Furthermore, it was chosen as the platform, through which payments to creditors of ill-fated Mt.Gox received their claims. If you are not familiar with the case, Mt.Gox was a huge Bitcoin exchange in Japan, which filed for bankruptcy protection in 2014, following a shady turn of events, which are another topic altogether. The company was then under special administration, which chose Kraken as a reliable partner, in order to facilitate payments to creditors.
Most of the coins on Kraken are kept in cold storage, with the exception of the ones currently used for trading, of course.
User reviews on Kraken are fairly mixed. Complaints vary from slow processing of deposits, lack of response by the customer support to stop-loss orders not triggering. While the latter is concerning the former two may be related to lack of staff, similarly to the issues which Poloniex currently has.
Trading instruments (cryptocurrencies)
Kraken offers quite a few trading instruments. Although the exchange is most famous for its Bitcoin and Ethereum to cash (EUR and USD) markets, altcoins are also available. Here is a list of all the coins you can trade one way or another: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, EOS, Dash, Ripple, Monero, Iconomi, Zcash, Augur, Gnosis, Stellar Limens, Dogecoin, Melon. Kraken plans to add new coins in the future.
It is worth mentioning this is one of the rather few exchanges which provides trading Bitcoin against currencies like the CAD and GBP. Although majors in the forex market, these are not often provided at crypto-exchanges. That being said liquidity may be an issue.
Minimum initial deposit
No minimum deposit level is specified by Kraken. Although this is not unusual in the cryptoverese, forex brokers (some of which allow Bitcoin trading) specify this on their websites. As an example, the industry leaders at IG proudly claim they do not have a minimum deposit requirement.
Leverage is only offered for some of the instruments at the Kraken Exchange. It varies from 1:2 to 1:5. These levels may seem low, if you are used to forex trading, where a lot of brokers offer 1:500 in leverage. That being said, even they provide lower levels for crypto currency trading. For instance, the FCA-regulated industry veterans at HYCM currently offer 1:10 for Bitcoin trading.
Kraken charges a fee for leveraged trading. It varies from 0.01% to 0.02%, based on the instrument and is applied every four hours. This is a hassle you will not have if you chose to trade Bitcoin with a forex broker. Do keep in mind there is a huge difference between the services provided by forex brokers and crypto-exchanges. For a full breakdown, read this article.
Kraken charges different fees for market "makers" and "takers". At the time of writing of this review, they are 0.16% for the makers and 0.26% for the takers (for the lowest volumes).
For those of you who are unaware of what these terms mean, trading on an exchange is slightly different than, forex trading. If you want to buy a particular instrument, you can do this directly, by getting it from the lowest available ask price (offer). This is an "aggressive" entry, which takes away market liquidity and is connected to a bigger fee (the taker fee). On the other hand, you can place your own bid in the order book, which then has to be triggered by another trader, who would sell his asset to you. In this case, you are providing liquidity to the market and pay a lower fee (the maker fee).
Overall, the fees provided by Kraken are in line with offerings by other exchanges.
When it comes to the trading platform, Kraken provides their own solution for some of the functionality, while relying on TradingView for the charting, similarly to Bitfinex.
There is pretty detailed access to the short term market dynamics. The tape, includes a historical bid/ask chart, which can be useful. Here is a preview:
The depth of the market is also presented in an easy to understand manner. Here is a preview:
You can see the book on the right side, with a graphical depiction on the left.
The charts, provided by TradigView are a good tool for technical analysts. They are available via a click of a button next to the instrument list. The chart pops-up as a small external window, which you can later move, resize and so on. You can create an entire layout (even on a separate monitor) of your PC can handle the hardware requirements of modern browsers. Here is a preview:
Kraken also offers a mobile app, which is currently only available on iOS. Hopefully an Android implementation will come soon.
Fiat currency payments at Kraken are only done via Bank Transfer. There is a slight advantage, if you have a bank account within the European Economic Area, since the SEPA payment system is supported. Crypto currency deposits are also available, but instant real money options such as Credit Card, PayPal or Neteller are not.
Kraken is a US-based crypto currency exchange. That being the case, the company operates a lot with Europan customers, as it is the world's leader in terms of Bitcoin to EUR trading volumes. Kraken is as reputable, as one can get in the cryptoverse, with no major hacks or scandals so far. The trading environment feels good, providing detailed tape-reading potential. Commissions are in-line with the current industry averages. Here are Kraken's strong and weak sides:
|Reputable company, no hacks yet
|Credit cards and Paypal not accepted
|High Bitcoin to EUR liquidity
|Mobile app available only for iOS
|Solid charting, by TradingView
|Recent negative user reviews
|Commissions in line with the industry
|Bank Transfers available
|Account type
|Minimum deposit
|Minimum trade size
|Maximum leverage
|3 pips*
|1 pip
*Those Standard account holders who deposit $250 or more, get VIP spreads.
easyMarkets offers its clients two trading accounts to choose from, available on two platforms – the good old MetaTrader 4 and the broker's proprietary web-based platform. Both account types offer commission-free trading, fixed spreads and leverage up to 1:400. Micro lots are available for trade only to Standard account holders.
There are a number of features available solely to VIP account holders, such as Personal Market Analyst, Loyalty Rebates, Express Withdrawals, Free trading signals, Free Breaking news, SMS Alerts, etc.
If you don't need such extras or simply don't want to invest 5 thousand bucks, you can get VIP spreads on your Standard account by depositing $250.
Islamic (swap-free) accounts compliant with the Sharia law are also available to clients who don't want to earn interest for religious reasons.
Easy Forex Trading Ltd.
EasyMarkets PTY Ltd.
easyMarkets (previously Easy-Forex) is the trading name of Easy Forex Trading Ltd. – a Cyprus-based brokerage, established back in 2003. It provides its services in over 160 countries worldwide, offering trading in 175 products ranging from currencies, CFDs on indices commodities, metals and Bitcoin, as well as options and forward contracts.
Easy Forex Trading Ltd, doing business as easyMarkets, is licensed and regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC, license No 079/07), and its Australian subsidiary - EasyMarkets PTY Ltd. - is authorized and regulated by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC).
CySEC applies certain rules to license holders, one of them being the requirement such firms to hold a minimum capital in order to conduct their business operations legitimately. The Commission requires Cyprus-based forex brokers to hold at least €730 000. As regulation of financial services providers usually involves such a requirement, Australian brokers are obliged to hold a minimum of $1,000,000 by ASIC.
Furthermore, the Cypriot financial watchdog applies a compensation scheme as additional guarantee to clients' funds. All CySEC-regulated companies are members of the Investor Compensation Fund, the compensation fund of last resort for customers of authorized financial services firms. If the Company becomes insolvent or ceases trading, it is able to pay compensation to its covered clients, amounting to a maximum of 20,000 EUR.
Unlike many other EU-based brokers, Australian ones are not covered by any compensation scheme.
Focus on client protection
easyMarkets is a broker that places a special focus on client protection. Apart from offering tight fixed spreads, which do not widen during news releases, easyMarkets is one of the few brokers that provide Negative Balance Protection. This means that you can never lose more funds than you have deposited, even though you are trading on margin.
Besides, it allows forex traders to cancel losing trades via its state-of-the-art feature dealCancellation, available on its in-house platform.
Minimum initial deposit
In order to open an account with easyMarkets, one has to deposit at least $100, which is a reasonable and competitive minimum initial deposit.
Spreads & Commissions
This broker offers fixed spreads, which allows traders to predetermine their costs. What is more, no commission fees are charged, as the broker generates revenues through the bid-ask spread paid by traders on each transaction.
Although fixed spreads generally tend to be wider that variable ones, this is not the case with easyMarkets – their spreads amount to 1 pips on EUR/USD and are accessible with a deposit of $250. In comparison, Exness and Plus500 (also regulated by CySEC) offer fixed spreads amounting to 2 pips for this currency pair.
The maximum leverage level offered by this broker is 1:400, which is considered comparatively high, as CySEC has recently proposed the default leverage provided by brokers to be 1:50. The reason for such leverage limitations is that higher leverage involves higher risk of heavy losses. Nonetheless, many Cyprus-based brokers offer high leverage levels: XM – up to 1:888, FXTM – up to 1:500.
Clients of easyMarkets may choose from the broker's proprietary web-based platform and the popular Metatrader 4 (MT4).
easyMarkets' in-house platform offers advanced charts, live market news, technical analysis and sentiment all in one screen, one click trading (from the Market Explorer).
What is more, platform users get free Guaranteed stop loss and dealCancellation option, which are indeed two great risk management tools.

In addition, easyMarkets offers the powerful MT4, allowing traders to fully automate their operations by choosing from a wide range of Expert Advisors (EA) and let the program do all the work. This is one of the reasons this platform to be preferred by most traders. Besides, it offers a number of useful technical indicators, extensive back-testing and advanced charting package, which includes the option to trade straight from the chart. Here is a list of more forex brokers offering MT4 platform.
Bonuses & Promotions
By the time of writing this review, there are two promotions offered (effective until March 31, 2016)
- - First deposit bonus on initial deposit ranging from 30% to 50% (up to $2 000);
- - Refer-a-friend bonus from $25 to $500 for new clients who deposit at least $250.

No matter what healthy lifestyle we choose to follow (or not), there is one thing we are all aiming to get better at: eating more vegetables. If we were to create a Venn diagram comparing all nutrition philosophies, programs, plans, trends, and lifestyles, there would be only one thing in common: eat a ton of veggies. By now, we can all agree that they should be the foundation of our daily fuel. Unfortunately for some, it's much easier said than done. Here's where I come in with my food prepping hacks.
Since having my daughter, I have shifted from full-out meal prepping to food prepping. I've found that simply preparing ingredients in advance is what's worked best for me and it's been that way for well over a year now. Food prepping allows me to save time when making meals, but also allows me to be creative in the kitchen. With the convenience of ready to go vegetables, I quickly realized that I was eating more than I ever have before. Even if I did not have specific plans for the ingredients I chopped, minced, sliced, and roasted, I always used them up and sometimes in the most creative of ways.
Over the past few months, I have noticed repeat offenders in my vegetable food prepping game. These repeat offenders have worked miracles for me so I want to share them with you. Always keep in mind that there are no rules when it comes to meal or food prepping. Do what you can in the time that you have. Any little bit of advanced preparation will save you a ton of time in the long run. I find I usually go through a solid food prep twice a week. Those few hours of hustling are tiresome, but are always so worth it; just like a killer workout!
1. Pureed Cauliflower
I have a one year-old so we are pretty experienced in the art of purees. I never realized how incredibly versatile and handy blended foods could be until my daughter started solids. I found myself adding tons of purees I had made for her into my own meals because well, it was just so easy. I learned that there are a zillion ways to effortlessly add a variety of different vegetables into dishes without comprising taste and improving texture at the same time.
Cauliflower puree has been my latest obsession and here are two of my favorite ways to use it:
1// Use in place of a traditional mashed potato. After pureeing the cauliflower (instructions below), I add grass fed butter, garlic, and salt and pepper and serve it on up.
2// Add the puree to oatmeal. I cut down the amount of oats I would normally use and replace it with some puree. Mix cinnamon, coconut or nut milk, and a tad bit of any all-natural sweetener to the puree. The cauliflower taste vanishes completely and makes for the dreamiest, creamiest bowl of oatmeal you've ever laid eyes on. I realize there may be some skeptics in the crowd so I want to share that I have had many parents of the pickiest eaters thank me for this idea. They are able to successfully get some veg into their kiddos (and/or spouses) without any suspicion whatsoever.
Other ways I like to use this puree is by adding it into smoothies and into soups to thicken them up. This way my daughter can successfully feed herself without wasting the entire bowl of soup. (Mamas I know you feel me!)
Cauliflower Puree Recipe:
• Break up your cauliflower into large florets and let them soften through with a good steam or boil.
• Once your cauliflower is nice and soft, strain it (but save the water) and place it in a food processor or a blender. Add a tiny little bit of the steam water and blend. If the cauliflower isn't fully blending, keep adding water in very small amounts until everything is creamy, dreamy, and smooth.
• Scoop the puree out into a glass air-tight container and use it creatively. Do not season it with anything yet. We want to keep it inviting for all sweet and savory possibilities.
• It is best to blend the cauliflower shortly after steaming it, but you can blend it the following day if you wish. Should you choose to blend your vegetable hours later or the next day, I highly recommend reheating the cauliflower first. Working with it cold may result in adding more liquid than necessary and your puree could end up way too watery.
• The puree should keep for 4 days in the fridge. If you find you have too much and won't be able to use it all up, freeze the puree in ice cube tray portions. Those would be awesome to add into smoothies or to thaw and use for anything, of course.
2. Roasted Vegetables
Let's be real. Vegetables just taste better roasted, don't they? Our favorite way to enjoy them is as a snack all by their lonesome or paired with hummus. When I have roasted carrots or beets ready it is just as easy to offer those as a snack as it is to offer fruit. And who would deny a roasted carrot or beet, right? The possibilities for roasted vegetables are truly endless. Other favorites include:
1 // Buddha Bowl: layer your roasted vegetables over a cooked grain and your favorite legume. Make an easy drizzle for this bowl by mixing 1 tbsp of tahini with 1 tsp of tamari sauce and enough water to thin it out to your desired consistency.
2// Warm Salad: Now that fall has arrived, another fabulous idea is using these roasted vegetables in salads. The warmth gives salads a whole new comforting dynamic.
Roasted Vegetables Recipe:
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Cut 3 large beets in thin and even slices.
• In a large bowl, toss them with 1 tbsp. avocado oil and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
• Spread out the slices on baking sheets covered with parchment paper. Do not pile them on top of each other – this will result in uneven cooking where some will burn and others will take longer to bake.
• Bake for approximately 15-18 minutes and flip them halfway through. They are done when they are on the verge of getting crispy.
Note: The bake time will vary and is dependent on the width and size of your beet slices. Check on them occasionally and adjust your cook time accordingly. These are highly addictive!
3. Salad Prep
We love salads around here and use them to complete many of our meals. Half of our plates should ideally be comprised of vegetables. When I have salads in the fridge and ready to go, that half plate challenge is no task. Salads have a bad rep as they are the face of dieting, associating them with a negative mindset. To avoid your salad from being repetitive and boring, my advice is to switch up your salad ingredients each week. There is never room for boredom when variety is involved!
Once you experiment with different leafy green and vegetable combinations, you'll appreciate your creations. This will lead to an attitude shift. Instead of eating salads because "you should" you will eat them because you genuinely want to. Play around with fresh herbs and raw nuts and seeds as garnish to add unforgettable flavor and to add texture. I have been prepping salads for the longest time and I end up thanking myself for this on a weekly basis. It's just such a life saver and pairs well with that lonesome wrap, the bowl of soup, the pasta dish, and/or the hearty burger on your plate.
Salad Prep Structure:
• 2 leafy greens (example: romaine and spinach)
• 2-3 Chopped Vegetables (example: red bell pepper, carrot, purple cabbage)
• Nuts or seeds (example: pumpkin seeds)
• Fresh herbs (example: freshly chopped basil)
• Dressing (example: Honey Mustard Dressing: 1 part each of Dijon, honey, apple cider vinegar, and extra virgin olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste).
• Fresh lemon juice to squirt on and toss as the last step. This helps keeps the salad fresh.

Judges Claim They Were Deceived on Vandale Thomas Case!
UPDATE! Vandale Thomas is found guilty of money laundering, fraud and embezzlement He was convicted on all eleven counts in federal court. Vandale turned in more than $700,000 in fraudulent bills to traffic court.
More traffic court malarkey. Big malarkey! A former Orleans Parish traffic court accounting contractor named Vandale Thomas is going down for working more than 24 hours a day week after week. He paid himself hundreds of thousands of dollars more than he should have. His job was to enter traffic court fines into the online data base. He managed to pay himself $1.3 million for doing so. I've written up Thomas before for his crooked ways.
Here is a couple of paragraphs from another entry on Thomas outlining his billing practices around city hall-
Infamous Traffic Court Accountant Vandale Thomas enjoyed more than one payday while he was getting paid by Traffic Court $750,000 for work during 2010. Thomas worked on a couple of contracts under accounting firm Pailet, Meunier and LeBlanc, which charged the city $243,000 for Thomas' hours from the start of 2010 through mid 2011.
Thomas also worked for the City Council's Utilities Regulatory Office. They billed $150 an hour for work the firm said Thomas did under a separate contract covering a variety of city accounting work. It also billed $198.75 an hour for work Thomas did under a separate contract covering more city accounting.
Who do you think signed all of these bloated paychecks? The Chief Administrative Judge Robert Jones III and Judge Mark Shea. Just because they signed those checks didn't mean they approved of the outlandish sums.
Thomas did what he could to hide his thievery, submitting invoices of under $10,000 so as to not alert the IRS. That meant he had to submit a lot of pay requests to add up to the million plus dollars he took. The most he actually could have earned is $600,000, and he would have had to work around the clock to get that enormous figure. What a low level court accountant is doing with that kind of income potential I don't know.
Thomas did live the life of luxury with his ill gotten gains. He lost roughly $227,000 at casinos in Atlantic City, Las Vegas, New Orleans, and Tunica, Mississippi. He purchased an $80,000 Bentley GT Coupe in 2010.
Who was Judge Jones' campaign manager? Vandale Thomas. Who played on Jones' softball team? The accountant with the very dirty hands.
Who first noticed all the baloney Thomas was responsible for in traffic court? It was Inspector General Ed Quatrevaux who issued a report lambasting Thomas' stealing. The Times-Picayune dug a little deeper and discovered Thomas had billed the court for 7,765 hours and the city for 1,995.5 hours in 2010, which equals 24.5 hours a day, 365 days annually.

They're called mortgage trends, friends. Do the research here. Of course, we're noticing that there's one major trend going on in the real estate market, and that's the higher down payment, but perhaps you might want to stick with something lower. That's okay. Want to know why?
You Have a Budget, and While Down Payments All Over Are Increasing, Some States Are Still Lower Than Others
It, therefore, would be a good idea to take a good look at which states are averaging higher (or lower). We know that there are undoubtedly good reasons for offering that higher down payment for a home purchase. But if the budget's not there, what do you do? Expand your possibilities to the states that do match your bottom line, right here:
These States Reported the Lowest Down Payment Averages in the U.S.
- Indiana — The Crossroads of America has the highest of the low averages…. Want to know how low?
- Utah — Utah isn't high up there either. Check it out right here.

Video Description
As the volume of data flowing into our organization increases, we have a growing need to find ways to identify important information and make it easier to understand and analyze. Leaders have always understood the power of images, and now data visualization is becoming an important tool for making sense of streams of complex data quickly. It can create a ""shared view"" of information to help groups analyze problems. And teams can make better maps of information as they work to execute in a fast-moving environment. In this HBR webinar Jeremy Howard discusses how you can build the basics and leverage a growing crowd of professional data visualizers to take your analysis to the next level.

E finalmente alguém me disse algo que me deixou confortável sobre isso :)
"Unfortunately our society has set up an absurd idea that it will be possible to do many things and do them all completely well…. A perfectly optimal career and a perfectly optimal home life. This is a mad idea…. That you're doing too much and none of it without mistakes isn't a sign that your life has gone wrong; it's a sign of a very wise and understandable position: that you've opted for imperfect variety over flawless focus."
Faz sentido isso pra você?

The joys of decluttering… stumbled upon a note id written of a tune. This is one the most beautiful records I've heard in along time, i kept hearing it at random times on shows, driving in the car but never getting it, or forgetting about it… the melancholy, the uplift, the harmony, the sounds. It's not all dance music here at lostinmuzik you know! It just blows me everytime i hear it…
Warpaint – Undertow
By the looks of it a set of cheeky ladies making music. Absolute winner. I think im going to remix this, if i can at all do it justice i'll post the results.
