Subject: Credit Scoring Models
Date: May 20, 1997
To: Chief Executive Officers of all National Banks, Department and Division Heads, and All Examining Personnel
Description: Examination Guidance
As of November 4, 2015, this guidance applies to federal savings associations in addition to national banks.
This banking bulletin is intended to inform national banks of the OCC's concerns about national banks' use of credit scoring models. If used properly, credit scoring models (also called score cards) can be effective portfolio and risk management tools.
Credit scoring models were first developed more than 50 years ago. Their use has increased tremendously as a tool for underwriting and administering all forms of retail credit, including credit cards, direct and indirect installment loans, residential mortgages, home equity loans, and small business credit. Credit scoring models can offer a fast, cost-efficient way to make sound decisions based on bank or industry experience.
Different types of credit scoring models are used for various activities. Application scoring models apply the bank's definition of good and bad accounts to identify and rank applicants. Behavioral scoring models are used to manage accounts, including credit line increases and decreases, over limits, and renewals. Collection scoring models may help determine accounts that are more likely to be collectible, and profitability scoring models are used to identify the most profitable marketing segments. Fraud detection and bankruptcy scoring models help identify accounts with possible fraudulent activity or borrowers likely to go bankrupt.
Credit scoring models can assist bankers with credit decisions. As stated in the OCC's Credit Card Lending Handbook, credit scoring models can help manage loan portfolio activities. A copy of that handbook was distributed to each bank in October 1996.
Credit scoring models can be used effectively to:
Control risk selection.
Bank Management Responsibilities
As with any models, bank management must ensure that credit scoring models are used appropriately. Bank management must:
Understand the credit scoring models thoroughly.
Over the past several months, examiners have identified some bank practices that resulted in the improper use of credit scoring models. The OCC is providing information about these practices to help other banks avoid similar experiences. Some problems that examiners have seen include:
Bank staff inadequately trained to monitor effectively the credit scoring model's performance.
OCC Actions
OCC examiners, in discussions with bank management, should:
Determine if the bank is using credit scoring models.
National bank management should evaluate its current use of credit scoring models and ensure that it is taking appropriate action to mitigate potential risks.
The attached Appendix contains more detailed guidance on the safety and soundness and compliance issues seen by OCC examiners in some institutions. Please refer bank staff responsible for credit scoring models to this information.

My right knee is due for reconstruction;
Was riding a caliber 130 and I have traded it for a Nobile NHP. That board is super smooth in the big chop, it has a really good pop (better tahn the caliber). It can feel a bit skatey at first probably cause its got a big rocker and a lots of channel. Anyway it tracks very good and for a board that is that much comfy in the chop it has a pretty good upwind ability.
Cant go wrong.
PS: I also added the 3DO pads from mystic. Not sure if it is a gimmick but they absorb high impact very good.
I ride the 131 X 40 and I would not go back to the caliber. I also had a Trax wcich was great but still I prefer my Nobile.

Want to whet your appetite for waterfalls in the Gorge this spring??
Friends of the Columbia Gorge's 2012 Spring Hiking Program offers 59 educational outings for hikers of all levels. The hiking season kicked off March 15, offering a multitude of hikes, stewardship work parties, tours and one bike ride spread over a four-month season.
Offered on weekends and weekdays, these hikes follow the wildflower blooms from the eastern end of the Gorge westward.
In addition, Friends launched a hiking challenge on March 1 titled "Waterfall Wanderlust." A list of 25 beautiful, semi-obscured waterfalls has been compiled to celebrate that the Gorge is home to more waterfalls than anywhere else in North America.
To view the list of waterfalls and to register visit www.gorgefriends.org/waterfalls. Hikers can join Friends on 12 guided hikes to visit these waterfalls or head out on their own.
"Putting together this waterfall list was so much fun," said Maegan Jossy, outdoor programs coordinator for Friends of the Columbia Gorge. "There's something magical about watching water cascade off a cliff and the spray dance around you.
"There is so much to think about — the epic Ice Age floods that carved out this dramatic landscape to create the plethora of waterfalls, the allure of waterfalls and the conservation of water. I look forward to seeing how this challenge speaks to others."
The Friends Hiking Program is a long-lasting Northwest tradition. Since 1980, Friends volunteers and staff have been leading hikes to the public to inspire and educate them about the beloved Columbia Gorge. Offering nearly 100 outings annually, more than 1,000 people join Friends on the trail.
The organization was founded more than 30 years ago and works to vigorously protect the scenic, natural, cultural and recreational resources within the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. It is supported by more than 5,000 members in Oregon and Washington.

Currently on tour in the USA; latest book currently sitting next to my bathtub after I cycled out for the day and got a very good weights workout carrying a copy of "Joseph Anton" back home.
Here's the BBC documentary that I watched earlier in the year, that I highly recommend. There's also subtitles in the YouTube version if you want to click over.
Salman Rushdie, author of The Satanic Verses, tells for the first time the inside story of how it felt to be condemned to death by the Ayatollah Khomeini in 1989, and to spend the next decade in hiding. To coincide with the publication of Rushdie's new book about that time, Alan Yentob has been given unique access to the author and to the bodyguards who lived with him. Friends and writers like Ian McEwan and Hanif Kureshi speak frankly, as do Rushdie's sister, ex-wife and sons.

WBU-Clovis dean publishes book on Civil War
CLOVIS – A just-published, cutting-edge historical depiction of the Confederacy's largest hospital by a local author is garnering academic accolades and national interest.
"Chimborazo: The Confederacy's Largest Hospital," written by Carol Cranmer Green, Ph.D., dean and associate professor of history at Wayland Baptist University-Clovis, has been nominated for the 2005 Jefferson Davis Award.
The Jefferson Davis Award is presented annually by The Museum of the Confederacy to authors of narrative works. Based in Richmond, Va., the museum is a private, nonprofit educational institution.
"The Museum of the Confederacy's book awards recognize outstanding contributions to the study of the Confederate period," said Sarah Dowdey of the museum. "Independent committees of scholars select the award winners."
"Her book certainly fits the criteria for the Jefferson Davis Award," said Tom Post, publicist for the University of Tennessee Press, publisher of the book. "We've had good response so far in terms of requests for review copies. One of the things that interested us as the publisher was that Chimborazo Hospital was ahead of its time in a lot of ways. That's what makes the book unique."
A local book signing event for Green and her first book will be held from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Jan. 15, at Hastings, 1925 N. Prince St., Clovis.
"We're excited to be hosting a book signing for Dr. Green," said Dena Engel, store manager for Hastings. "We invite everybody out to get their books signed and check out the works of any of our other local authors we keep in stock."
Green delivered the keynote address at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine 9th Annual Conference in August 2001. Her topic: "Chimborazo Hospital: 1861-1865."
The WBU-Clovis dean said she was pleased with her first book project.
"I'm very pleased with the book, its quality and the editing," she said. "The research was very interesting. It was an exciting process of discovery. Nothing had been written on Chimborazo, so I had to go to the National Archives in Washington, D.C., and dig through the original documents and other material.
"Academically, this is pretty cutting edge," she said. "Most other histories don't see modern hospitals developing until the 1880s after the development of the germ theory of disease. But this research pushes the development of the hospital back to the Civil War. My research into Chimborazo and other Civil War hospitals shows a paradigm shift of patients and doctors in how they viewed hospitals both before and after the war."
The concept for the book came from a footnote during Green's doctoral research.
"This work began in graduate school as I was researching general information on Civil War hospitals and came across a reference to Chimborazo Hospital," she said. "The records of most Richmond hospitals were burned in the Richmond fire, which was set as the Confederate government evacuated the city in 1865 in the face of the advancing Union army. Most other sources I had seen regretted that no records were available for Richmond hospitals. However, this obscure footnote reported that, contrary to popular belief, the records of Chimborazo Hospital were housed at the National Archives."
So the story was born.
"The book speaks to many audiences," Green said. "There is a management element, and of course, basic interest in Civil War history, plus the history of medicine, women's history and African-American history. My favorite chapter in the book is the chapter on Chimborazo's patients. Their stories are fascinating."
Green has served as campus dean for WBU-Clovis since the campus opened its doors at Cannon Air Force Base in 1997.
The Cannon/Clovis campus has grown from 15 students that first semester to more than 250 this year.
Green received her doctorate in history from Texas Tech University in May 1999. She and husband, Robert, a pharmacist at Plains Regional Medical Center in Clovis, have three daughters: Mallory, 9, Amanda, 6, and Shelby, 7 months.

Charter challenge aims to force governments to create public housing May 26, 2010Posted by rogerhollander in Canada, Housing/Homelessness, Human Rights.

Jennifer Tanudjaua with her childen in their home in Toronto's Jane-Finch area.
Kirk Makin Justice Reporter
From Wednesday's Globe and Mail Published on Wednesday, May. 26, 2010 12:12AM EDT Last updated on Wednesday, May. 26, 2010 7:04AM EDT
One major obstacle stands between Jennifer Tanudjaja and her goal of becoming a successful career woman rather than a burden on the social welfare system – paying the rent.
Struggling to stay in school, the 19-year-old mother of two children plows most of her child welfare benefits and student assistance loan into a $998 per month tenement apartment in Toronto's Jane-Finch neighbourhood. Meanwhile, she is mired at the bottom of a 10-year wait list for public housing.
Ms. Tanudjaja's plight lies at the heart of a Charter of Rights challenge being filed on Wednesday in an attempt to persuade the judiciary to force governments to create low-cost public housing.
A coalition of social welfare groups that is launching the challenge seeks to compel the federal and Ontario governments to provide affordable housing for those who are homeless or impoverished by the cost of putting a roof over their heads.
One of the case histories the coalition is furnishing is that of Ms. Tanudjaja, a social work student who aims to be a probation officer. Just 13 years old when her mother handed her over to child welfare authorities, Ms. Tanudjaja ran away from a group home at 15 and then spent more than a year "couch-surfing" from one friend's home to another.
Now, she can barely eke out her rent cheque after paying for food and public transit to college. "It is honestly not worth what I'm paying at all," Ms. Tanjudjaja said. "There are bedbugs and tiles popping out of my walls, and my pipes leak really bad."
The legal challenge harks back to the early, heady days when activists saw the Charter as a sweeping document that could induce reluctant governments to spend money on social programs.
Tracy Heffernan, a lawyer for the Advocacy Centre for Tenants Ontario, conceded that judges have become wary of poking their noses into expenditures of public money.
"But 25 years after we got the Charter, it is time to bring it back to the people," she said. "To allow this crisis of homelessness and inadequate housing to expand and grow and further deepen that crisis is not a good thing for the country."
The challenge is rooted in the Charter right to equality and to life, liberty and security. A legal brief prepared by Ms. Heffernan and lawyers Peter Rosenthal and Fay Faraday notes that the federal government once played a dominant role in providing public housing. They said that it later pushed public housing onto the provinces, which off-loaded it to municipalities, which lack the tax base to shoulder it.
The brief alleges that homelessness reduces life expectancy, causes single mothers to lose custody of their children and forces victims of domestic violence to return to abusive spouses. Cuts to social assistance have steadily added to the ranks of homeless people, it added.
"The result is that those in receipt of social assistance are often unable to obtain adequate housing, many become homeless, and many more are inadequately housed," it said. "People who are homeless are perhaps the most marginalized, disempowered, precariously situated and vulnerable group in Canadian society."
Ms. Heffernan said that a recent study conducted for the Senate found that, over a 10-year period, the homeless could be housed for half of what it will cost to treat the medical and social problems caused by homelessness.
The documents supporting the challenge also include an affidavit from Miloon Kothari, an Indian housing expert who served as the UN Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing from 2000-2008.
"The most striking feature of my mission to Canada was the contrast between the abundance of resources available and the dire living conditions facing the most vulnerable in society," Mr. Kothari said.
In another affidavit, Linda Chamberlain, a Toronto woman who is mentally ill, describes 30 years living in hostels or on the streets.
"Sometimes police would pick me up and take me to a shelter," Ms. Chamberlain said in an interview. "You can't imagine living in places infested with bed bugs and cockroaches or in a plastic bag, scared to death of being violated. I didn't want to wake up because I was in such pain.
"You walk around like a zombie," she said. "There is no hope there. You lose everything. If no one helps people get into a safe place to live, how can they turn their lives around?"

WASHINGTON – Thousands of protesters braved the cold Sunday and marched to urge President Obama to reject the Keystone XL pipeline and to show leadership on other climate issues they called urgent.
Organizers of the "Forward on Climate" event estimated that 35,000 people turned out for what they said was the biggest climate rally in U.S. history. Police did not verify the crowd size.
The group rallied on a slice of the Mall just north of the Washington Monument before heading down Constitution Avenue, up 17th Street and past the White House chanting slogans such as "We are unstoppable, another world is possible" and "Hey, hey, ho, ho, Keystone pipeline's got to go."
The president wasn't home, however. He was in Florida playing golf with Tiger Woods and Jim Crane, a Houston businessman who owns the Houston Astros as well as the residential compound where Obama is spending the holiday weekend.
But the demonstrators tried to send him a message nonetheless, carrying signs opposing not only the proposed pipeline from Canada to Texas, but also opposing hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, and coal plants. "Windmills, not oil spills," one placard said. Another said: "Fossil fuels? Fossil fools." And another: "Read my lips: no new carbons."
Leaders of the rally said they wanted to press Obama to follow up on the strong rhetoric in his inaugural address about the need to slow climate change. The official posters at the rally borrowed Obama's campaign slogan "Forward." They read: "Mr. President, Forward — on Climate."
"Mr. President, we have heard what you've said on climate; we have loved a lot of what you've said on climate," said Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club. "Our question is: What will you do?"
For many of the rally leaders, the first test will be whether the president and Secretary of State John Kerry approve a construction permit for the northern leg of the Keystone XL pipeline, which would carry crude from the oil or tar sands of Alberta to refineries on the Gulf Coast of Texas.
The energy-intensive methods needed to extract that crude emit more greenhouse gases than oil production methods from conventional reservoirs.
"Mr. President, you hold the pen and the executive power of hope in your hands," said Brune, who was arrested Wednesday at a pipeline protest outside the White House. "Take out that pen, Mr. President, and write down the words 'I reject the Keystone XL pipeline.' "
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., told members of the crowd that they could help encourage Obama: "We are going to have the president's back and he is going to have our back."
But the rally had an edge of uncertainty about how hard Obama will push to take legislative or executive action. And most of the speakers zeroed in on the impending Keystone XL decision.
Those speakers included Bill McKibben, a Middlebury College professor who has led the fight to stop the pipeline; two leaders of First Nation tribes in Canada; and Tom Steyer, an investment fund manager in California and major fundraiser for Obama. All are strong foes of the Keystone project.
"For 25 years, our government has basically ignored the climate crisis. Now people in large numbers are finally demanding they get to work," said McKibben, founder of the grass-roots environmental group 350.org.
Affiliates of 350.org — including 350 Maine and 350 New England — organized a Jan. 26 rally in Portland in opposition to what protesters say is an emerging proposal to send tar sands oil from Canada through a pipeline to Portland Harbor.
"If this pipeline goes through, your government will help in the raping and pillaging of the land of my ancestors," said Chrystal Lameman, a member of the Beaver Lake Cree Nation in Canada. "Then (the companies) promise to give back what was never theirs in the first place."
Steyer said: "I get the argument for the Keystone. The argument is that it is business as usual because we use fossil fuels. But the time for business as usual has passed."
Afterward, Whitehouse said, "If the president and Secretary Kerry choose to approve the pipeline and proceed, there will be a massive credibility gap between that and what he said in the inauguration, especially if this is the first deed out of the box. That will be a problem for him."

Belmont, N.C. – The Coker men's basketball team fell to the Belmont Abbey Crusaders 72-60 on Monday night in a Conference Carolinas match-up. The loss evens the Cobras conference record at 1-1, while dropping their overall record to 3-2, while Belmont Abbey also moves to 1-1 in the conference and 3-2 overall.
The Crusaders took the lead from the very start and never looked back, taking advantage of 21 points off Coker turnovers and 13 points off the bench to take home the win. The Cobras struggled shooting all night, as they shot just 36.8 percent from the floor.
Chad Patus led all scorers with double-double of 22 points and 14 rebounds, while Richard Barbee became the 33rd player in Belmont Abbey history to score 1,000 points, with a 13 point six rebound effort on the night. Patrick Kuhlman added 12 points for the Crusaders.
Coker's Mason Ambler (Atlanta, Ga.) had his fourth double-double of the season with 14 points and 13 rebounds, while Vatrick Thompson (Columbia, S.C.) led the Cobra scorers with 16 points. Joselle Bracy (Ruby, S.C.) was the third Cobra in double figures, netting 11 points while pulling down four rebounds.
Coker returns to the floor on Wednesday, when they travel to Sumter, S.C. to take on Morris College in a non-conference game at 7:00 p.m., while Belmont Abbey takes on Mount Olive at 7:30 p.m. on January 4.

Excerpt from "Parenting Without a Paddle: Navigating the Waters of Parenthood"
Who's in Control of the Canoe?
"The thing that impresses me most about America is the way parents obey their children."
Edward, Duke of Windsor 1957
It's amazing to me how many young families I encounter where it is apparent that the child is in charge. When my cousin had her first child, she and her husband gave in to their toddler all the time. The child even dictated when they went somewhere, where they went, and how long they stayed. What's wrong with this picture?
All kids need guidance and kind discipline, and they need to know you are in charge. Believe it or not, it makes a child more secure if they know what to expect. Parents need to establish routines and guidelines. This will help your child maneuver through his daily life if he knows what is expected of him. Liken your child to a boat that is tethered. If a storm comes along and the boat isn't securely tethered, it will go adrift. Who knows where it will end up? Your child, likewise, needs to have his bearings because if he is allowed too much freedom and does what he wants all the time, he will actually be floundering. This may well show up as bad behavior, talking back, and general disrespect.
Who's in Control Checklist:
- Are you making the rules?
- Is there a routine in your household most days?
- Do you expect respect and give respect?
- Have you established appropriate consequences for disobedience, misbehavior, disrespect, and rules being broken? Parents need to consider possible scenarios for children ahead of time so that when a situation arises, you are able to calmly deal with your child and her poor behavior and give the appropriate consequence.

School Immunizations in Kindergarten by Academic Yearchhs.data.ca.gov | Last Updated 2017-06-19T19:01:18.000Z
This dataset contains immunization status of kindergarten students in California in schools with 10 or more kindergarten students enrolled. Smaller schools were excluded to help protect privacy. Explanation of the different immunizations is in the attached data dictionary. The California Health and Safety Code Section 120325-75 requires students to provide proof of immunization for school and child care entry. Additionally, California Health and Safety Code Section 120375 and California Code of Regulation Section 6075 require all schools and child care facilities to assess and report annually the immunization status of their enrollees. The annual kindergarten assessment is conducted each fall to monitor compliance with the California School Immunization law. Results from this assessment are used to measure immunization coverage among students entering kindergarten. Not all schools reported. This data set presents results from the kindergarten assessment and immunization coverage in kindergarten schools by county. To review individual school coverage and exemption rates in a separate lookup format, go to the School Lookup page at the Immunization Branch's Shots for School website: http://www.shotsforschool.org/lookup/ See the attached file 'Notes on Methods' for data suppression in 2016-2017.
Educational Attainment, 2000-2010chhs.data.ca.gov | Last Updated 2017-06-14T18:11:25.000Z
This table contains data on the percent of residents aged 25 years and older educational attainment (percent completing high school, associates degree, college or more advanced degree) for California, its regions, counties, cities/towns, and census tracts. Data is from the U.S. Census Bureau, Decennial Census and American Community Survey. The table is part of a series of indicators in the Healthy Communities Data and Indicators Project of the Office of Health Equity (https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/OHE/Pages/Healthy-Communities-Data-and-Indicators-Project-(HCI).aspx). Greater educational attainment has been associated with health-promoting behaviors including consumption of fruits and vegetables and other aspects of healthy eating, engaging in regular physical activity, and refraining from excessive consumption of alcohol and from smoking. Completion of formal education (e.g., high school) is a key pathway to employment and access to healthier and higher paying jobs that can provide food, housing, transportation, health insurance, and other basic necessities for a healthy life. Education is linked with social and psychological factors, including sense of control, social standing and social support. These factors can improve health through reducing stress, influencing health-related behaviors and providing practical and emotional support. More information about the data table and a data dictionary can be found in the About/Attachments section.
School Immunizations in 7th Grade by Academic Yearchhs.data.ca.gov | Last Updated 2017-03-01T22:51:15.000Z
This dataset contains immunization status of 7th grade students in California in schools with 10 or more 7th grade students enrolled. Smaller schools were excluded to help protect privacy. Students in 7th Grade were considered to have up-to-date immunizations if they had completed the Tdap immunization requirement to receive one dose of any immunization (Tdap, DTaP or DTP) that protects against pertussis on or after their 7th birthday. The California Health and Safety Code Section 120325-75 requires students to provide proof of immunization for school and child care entry. Additionally, California Health and Safety Code Section 120375 and California Code of Regulation Section 6075 require all schools and child care facilities to assess and report annually the immunization status of their enrollees. Under Assembly Bill 354 (2010), California Health and Safety Code Section 120335 required students in 7th grade to provide documentation of either having received a booster immunization against pertussis or an exemption to immunization. This data set summarizes the assessment of the 7th grade pertussis immunization (Tdap) requirement based on reporting from California schools and presents results from the 2014-2015 7th grade assessment and immunization coverage in schools by county.

Out for dinner with the family, the waitress set the food on the table. I turned to my son, Jaime, and said, "Why don't you lead us in the prayer, and give thanks for this meal." We made the sign of the cross and said grace.
Praying before meals is something my wife and I have done since our kids were little, and it does not matter if we are at home or in public.
But when it comes to praying before meals publicly, there is a sharp divide among Catholics: those who do and those who don't.
My family does not pray in public to pose, make a statement or to annoy others who don't share our faith.
We pray quietly but do not try to hide it.
We teach our children to respect the gift of food, whether it is a home-cooked meal or McDonald's.
If we went out to eat and skipped grace before meals, it would seem shallow and shirking.
If we were at a diner and my daughter asked why had we not prayed before eating, what excuse would I give? Because "it feels awkward" or "we don't want to draw attention" seems a renunciation of faith. We are to be the salt of the earth, not the earth.
I could stake my retreat, as some do, in Scripture. In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus says when we pray, we should "go to your private room, shut yourself in, and so pray to your Father who is in that secret place."
The context of this admonition spoken by Christ is usually skipped.
Right before it, Jesus says that when you pray you should not "imitate the hypocrites; they love to say their prayer standing up in the synagogues and at the street corners for people to see them."
Intent is key.
Still, it's touchy.
In my own family, a member of the clergy created a public scene when he loudly refused to pray aloud in a restaurant with his cousins who insisted. He stormed from the place, and they did not speak for a long time.
My observation? Pray at home, not in public is the rule among Catholics.
My guess is that is a habit acquired by Catholics who wanted to be mainstream Americans — that is, more earth than salt.
Two years ago at Man Up Philly, a daylong conference for Catholic men held at Archbishop Ryan High School in Philadelphia, only two of us at our table made the sign of the cross and prayed before eating lunch. As I said, old habits.
A caveat: I cannot read minds. People pray silently, so maybe that's going on, too. I suspect we have acquired a casual ingratitude, especially among the middle class.
This was crystallized last October when I heard a homily from Father Peter Major, of the Mill Hill Missionaries, who was visiting Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where I live. He said he had been stationed in Africa, where it is custom to offer a visitor a glass of water when they arrive.
An American monsignor visiting Father Major's sweltering village parish complained bitterly that the water he was served was room temperature. The monsignor then rejected the drink because the impoverished parish had no ice, either.
The same day, Father Major was visited by an old woman from the village, a grandmother many times over.
He offered her a glass of water. She made the sign of the cross and prayed before drinking — and afterward, too.
Her gratitude was guileless.
Christ was so central to her life that she did not hesitate to give thanks even for a glass of water.
Father Major concluded: "And that is why her name is written in heaven."

Post subject: Tumeric in Curry
A much lesser known family of curries is the Sri Lankan curry, which is characterized by chicken, fish, or vegetables in cooked in spices and coconut milk. One of the Sri Lankans I talked to said that tumeric is a natural preservative and eliminates the need for refrigeration of leftover curry, which is why they use it. Sri Lanka is very hot, and refrigerators were uncommon in the region I visited, but food can be left out for days with no ill effects.

Post subject: Curry should be avoided
From what I understand, cooking with curry produces aerosolized oil that soaks into porous surfaces and never leaves. It can damage the resale/rental value of properties as nobody wants to rent it, and can make enemies of neighbors when the stench seeps into neighboring units triggering lawsuits.
Attempting to 'cover it up' as some people do by using some nonsense oil or toxic chemical based 'air freshener' makes the problem worse, not better, because now you have a cocktail of oils present. So if you are looking at a prospective place to rent, especially if the kitchen has an 'air freshener' plugged in and the previous tenants were East Indian, there is a big problem.
It is my opinion that cooking with curry should be banned in lease agreements, along with smoking indoors.

I purchased a small Murraya Koenigii plant and a small Kaffir lime plant from
a few years back. When the Murraya Koenigii blossoms it has a really lovely frangrance and I love the smell of the crushed leaves. I just checked the Logee website and they still have these plants available. They make nice houseplants and do not succumb to the usual pests that kill all my indor plants.

Cooking anything creates aerosolized oils that embed themselves in porous surfaces throughout the kitchen.
Should cooking Italian be banned in lease agreements? Or is it OK because you like the smell?

apologies for such a direct statement, but i believe that this is a suitably strong way for me to register my protest at your obvious naivete. i mean, how can you say that only indian cooking causes obnoxious curry oil smells in kitchens and stuff? what about barbequeing (sp?) or something similar from whatever part of the world you're? does that leave "agreaable" smells? what about apartments (in ny atleast) that don't have an exhaust fan (something so basic that almost every village loo in india has one)? does crap smell sweet?

this was a great read. My wife is from England and had never really had any other curry besides the curries she had had when she lived in England. When we moved back here to the states, it took a long time to find a curry that she liked. I started experimenting with my own curry making and have slowly turned her more into liking a variety of curries now. I will have to have her read this so she can read for herself what I have been telling her for years...the british have their own version of curry...she just doesn't believe me.

Post subject: Curry
"any dish that begins with toasted spices can be considered a curry."
I'm sorry, but this is just not correct, especially in Indian cuisine. Western chefs have spread a lot of confusion about the meaning of curry.
My favorite book on Indian cuisine is by Sylvia Panjabi and is called Great Curries of India and I am married to an Indian and spend about 4 hours cooking Indian food every day.
A combination of fried spices is called a
. The packaged spice combinations you buy are typically also called masalas in India, and if they aren't, it's either because they are intended to be used IN a curry dish or it was labeled wrongly by people who don't know the meaning (happens a lot in India!)
A Curry is simply the liquid part that comes later.
A curry is always started with a masala (fried spices), but a masala does not always become part of a curry.
The dish the masala (spices usually friend in oil or clarified butter) goes into can be a dry dish (called a subzee) or a wet dish (meaning it has a curry).
In summary, a curry is the thin or thick gravy-like liquid part of a dish.
In addition, the majority of Indian curries do not in fact use curry leaf (although it's an excellent fragrance for dals and some meat dishes).
The most common spice in a curry is chili in most parts of India.
The most common masala is called "garam masala", the contents of which also differ depending on reguion/village.

Post subject: correction
The author I mentioned is wrong; her name is camellia panjabi.
Let me clarify about the curry powder: in India it's usually a masala that makes the base of a curry, some refer to this as a curry powder. But it's the creationof a liquid that is what makes a curry. Dry dishes (called subzee) are made with masala but or curry powder (as some call it) but are not curry-based or called curry.

Nice article on Curry. I would like to mention tho' that the use of Curry leaves is pretty much limited to the Southern & South Western part of India. If they are at all used in the other parts, it is to prepare the pre mentioned regional dishes.
Also spices are not always toasted/fried before... they may be added anytime during the cooking process.

Soma is right, curry leaves are used mainly in Kerala, the south-western state of India.
Reminds me of the time I tried to bring a curry tree back with me and got busted by the Ag officer at the airport. We had a good laugh because I had plenty of company. But I didn't get to keep the tree...
Turmeric does aerosolize when heated in oil and leaves a yellow residue behind. Very hard to clean, so make sure you have an exhaust fan running when you heat those spices!

surely this refers to 'Methi Leaf' ie the leaf of funugreek the seeds of which provide a much more potent addition to Indian curries. No mention in your comments of Malay and Singaporean curries. Also, FRY your spices first don't toast em. Fitz (Nottingham UK)

No Guest, methi and curry are two different spices. And to correct you again, one toasts spices when making a masala (garam, etc.), and then fries the resulting masala when making a curry.
Other than that, you are spot on!
BTW, I've discovered that alcohol is a really good solvent for turmeric stains. Mix half, water half isopropyl (70%) with a little Dawn or other detergent, spray on clothes and rub before washing.

Later, Art Rapp married Nancy Share, editor of [[Summer Torrents]], and together they co-edited the zine [[Churn]].
Revision as of 10:56, 14 March 2011
Spacewarp was a science fiction fanzine by Art Rapp (1924-2005).
Art Rapp published his fanzine in Saginaw, Michigan from April 1947 til September 1950. Rapp was a member of the Michigan Science Fantasy Society. After a meeting of the group in November of 1949, two members set off a bomb in the front yard of Rapp's home. Police were called and neighbours gathered, and according to Rapp in an open letter he wrote of the incident, the bomb was heard from two miles away. Immediately after, Rapp quit MSFS but didn't end his zine till the next year, when he left the U.S. for military duty in Korea. He then turned the zine over to F.

text: I am running ISPConfig 126.96.36.199 on CentOS 5.6 A few problems and I think they are all related. First off when I go to the Monitors none of the monitors work they all say: No log data available at the moment. Please check again later. Second when I create a client, or site, or just about anything I see the job added to the job queue and it is processed correctly without any errors being displayed. I have set log level to debug and get responses like this: 2011-08-02 13:36 server.hostname.net Debug Remove Lock: /usr/local/ispconfig/server/temp/.ispconfig_lock 2011-08-02 13:36 server.hostname.net Debug Processed datalog_id 93 2011-08-02 13:36 server.hostname.net Debug Found 1 changes, starting update process. 2011-08-02 13:36 server.hostname.net Debug Set Lock: /usr/local/ispconfig/server/temp/.ispconfig_lock I have check all over the place for an error that may occur but I can't find an error in any logs. When I add a client first off no user gets added into Linux (cat /etc/passwd) and no group gets created. According to ISPConfig the most recent one I tried to add should have a user name of web17 and a group name of client13. Also if I go to /var/www/clients/ there is no folder created for client13. I do have a client1 that I added a longtime ago and everything works fine for it. The only thing I know that has changed since then is in the php.ini file I added some disable_functions but I have tried changing this back to no functions disabled at all and restarted apache and it makes no difference. Anyone have any ideas as to why it seems as though ISPConfig can't make changes to the system at all?

People Power: Sharing Hearts and Minds
By Steven Shepard, Contributing Columnist
Three weeks ago I took a taxi from downtown Toronto to Pearson International airport, on my way back to my home in Vermont. My driver, a genial, soft-spoken and well-educated man from Cairo who spoke halting but charming English (far better than my mastery of his language), carried on a lively conversation with me during the 90 minutes it took us to drive through rush hour traffic to the airport.
In fact, because of our conversation, we have been in regular e-mail contact since, carrying on the conversation thread that we started in his taxi.
When I hopped in the car, we chatted for a few minutes before getting to the Highway 401 parking lot (the local name for the 401, which rivals the Los Angeles 405 freeway for its level of automotive paralysis). He sighed, and then he asked me what I was doing in Toronto.
I told him that I had been giving a talk about trends in the telecom, IT and media industries, and he quickly jumped into the conversation with both feet. "I am from Egypt where we have the mobile telephone," he began. "It has changed everything for my country — business, culture, opportunity, the economy. But now it is doing something more important than all of those things out together."
Puzzled, I asked him what that was. Smiling, he turned around in his seat (we were stopped, thankfully) and said, "Your technology has brought hope to my people. Before, we had no way of sharing our hearts or our minds without a great deal of personal risk and fear. Mobile calling, Facebook, Twitter have given my people a power they never had before, and even though the government shut down the Internet, by the time they did we had done our damage. The truth was known and Mubarak could not prevail."
I thought about his comments at length, at the passion that this man conveyed to me about the importance of social media and the role of the underlying network. Did Facebook and Twitter bring about the social revolution in Egypt, and, increasingly, in other countries? Of course not. Did they catalyze events? Of course they did.
The Global Phenomenon of Citizen Journalism
The same thing happened several years ago in Iran during the elections that continued Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's presidency. The elections, widely believed to be fraudulent, led to riots and protests in the streets, which were in turn met by violent resistance from the Republican Guard. People died. But this time, the whole world was watching.
Thanks to the people in the streets who were tweeting about what they were seeing and posting pictures, transparency reigned, and the regime could not deny its own actions. So important was Twitter during those events that the U.S. State Department contacted Twitter and asked them to delay running maintenance on its systems, because to do so would mean bringing Twitter down, and at that moment, Twitter was the only source of credible intelligence about the goings-on in Iran because the journalists were locked in their hotels and prohibited from reporting about events in the streets.
That was when I knew that Twitter was much more than, "I'm sitting on the patio."
Egypt proved that networks, and the applications that run across them, can bring astounding transparency, and people with conviction, when armed with the weapons of communication, can make great things happen.

ThinkFinger is a driver for the SGS Thomson Microelectronics fingerprint reader found in older IBM/Lenovo ThinkPads.
ThinkWiki has a list of various fingerprint readers found in ThinkPads. Newer models using different readers might not work with ThinkFinger.
Install thinkfinger from the official repositories.
Use tf-tool to test ThinkFinger. You'll have to run this as root because a direct access to the usb devices is needed. Run tf-tool --acquire to generate a test.bir and tf-tool --verify to see if it identifies you correctly. tf-tool --add-user <username> acquires and stores your fingerprint in /etc/pam_thinkfinger/username.bir, which is needed for an authentication with pam.
PAM is the Pluggable Authentication Module, invented by Sun.
Change the file /etc/pam.d/login to look like this if you want to use your fingerprint to authenticate yourself on logon:
#%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient pam_thinkfinger.so auth required pam_unix.so use_first_pass nullok_secure account required pam_unix.so password required pam_unix.so session required pam_unix.so
Change this file to confirm the su command with a finger-swipe!
#%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient pam_rootok.so auth sufficient pam_thinkfinger.so auth required pam_unix.so nullok_secure try_first_pass account required pam_unix.so session required pam_unix.so
Change this file to confirm the sudo command with a finger-swipe!
#%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient pam_thinkfinger.so auth required pam_unix.so nullok_secure try_first_pass auth required pam_nologin.so
XScreensaver is a bit tricky. First, configure PAM with a file "/etc/pam.d/xscreensaver" containing :
auth sufficient pam_thinkfinger.so auth required pam_unix_auth.so try_first_pass
But it still wont work with only that because xscreensaver cannot read/write from /dev/misc/uinput and /dev/bus/usb*. A udev rule must be written to authorize a new group read/write access.
First, create a new group. I suggest "fingerprint":
> sudo groupadd fingerprint Add the user you want to be able to unlock xscreensaver with the fingerprint reader to the group: > sudo gpasswd -a <user> fingerprint
Don't forget to logout and login again!
Search for "uinput" and "bus/usb" in your udev rules directory :
> grep -in uinput /etc/udev/rules.d/* /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules:222:KERNEL=="uinput", NAME="misc/%k", SYMLINK+="%k" /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules:263:KERNEL=="uinput", NAME="input/%k" > grep -in "bus/usb" /etc/udev/rules.d/* /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules:318:SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", ACTION=="add", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#usbdev};printf bus/usb/%%03i/%%03i $${K%%%%.*} $${K#*.}'", NAME="%c", MODE="0664" /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules:320:SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", NAME="bus/usb/$env{BUSNUM}/$env{DEVNUM}", MODE="0664"
Now copy the previous lines (222, 318 and 320 from /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules) to a new udev rules file. I suggest /etc/udev/rules.d/99my.rules
KERNEL=="uinput", NAME="misc/%k", SYMLINK+="%k", MODE="0660", GROUP="fingerprint" SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", ACTION=="add", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#usbdev};printf bus/usb/%%03i/%%03i $${K%%%%.*} $${K#*.}'", NAME="%c", MODE="0664", GROUP="fingerprint" SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", NAME="bus/usb/$env{BUSNUM}/$env{DEVNUM}", MODE="0664", GROUP="fingerprint"
The difference between the rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/99my.rules and those in /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules should only be the addition of MODE="0664", GROUP="fingerprint" or MODE="0660", GROUP="fingerprint" at the end of the lines.
After this you must actually give your user permissions to access his own fingerprint file, this can be done as in the following:
> chown $USERNAME:root /etc/pam_thinkfinger/$USERNAME.bir > chmod 400 /etc/pam_thinkfinger/$USERNAME.bir > chmod o+x /etc/pam_thinkfinger
Yes that last one is opening up a directory for execution to everyone so if you're super paranoid you might consider that a security flaw, just putting the warning out there.
The last part is about xscreensaver. If you check xscreensaver file, you will see it is setuid to root :
> ls -l /usr/bin/xscreensaver -rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 217K aoû 2 20:47 /usr/bin/xscreensaver
Because of this, xscreensaver wont be able to unlock with the fingerprint reader. You need to remove the setuid root with :
> sudo chmod -s /usr/bin/xscreensaver > ls -l /usr/bin/xscreensaver -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 217K aoû 2 20:47 /usr/bin/xscreensaver
That's it!
[I am not an expert in PAMs but this works, This section may need corrections]
Edit /etc/pam.d/gdm as done in sections 3.1 and 3.2
add as the first line in the file: auth sufficient pam_thinkfinger.so
Modify: auth required pam_unix.so ==> auth required pam_unix.so use_first_pass nullok_secure
Change /etc/pam.d/xdm to look like this:
#%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient pam_thinkfinger.so auth required pam_unix.so use_first_pass nullok_secure auth required pam_nologin.so auth required pam_env.so account required pam_unix.so password required pam_unix.so session required pam_unix.so session required pam_limits.so
To have thinkfinger support for the SLiM Login Manager you need to activate PAM support:
Get the package source of the slim package from ABS and change the "make" line in the PKGBUILD:
make USE_PAM=1 || return 1
Rebuild the package and install it.
Then create a file /etc/pam.d/slim:
#%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient pam_thinkfinger.so auth requisite pam_nologin.so auth required pam_env.so auth required pam_unix.so account required pam_unix.so session required pam_limits.so session required pam_unix.so password required pam_unix.so
Now restart slim and swipe your finger.
Alternative fingerprint reader software
Fprint is an alternative fingerprint reader software that works with some of the newer ThinkPad fingerprint readers.

The Gospel in Galatians - KANNADA
The Gospel in Galatians - KANNADA / September 25, 2017
Boasting in the Cross
True religion does not consist of outward behavior alone but in the condition of the heart. When the heart is surrendered to God, a person's life will more and more reflect the character of Christ as he or she grows in faith. The heart must be subdued by Christ; when that happens, all else will follow.
The Gospel in Galatians - KANNADA / September 18, 2017
The Gospel and the Church
The indication of God's presence among His people is in the Christlike spirit manifest within the church. It can be seen in the way forgiveness and restoration are extended to those who err, in how they help each other in trials, and in intentional acts of kindness shared not only among themselves but also with unbelievers.
The Gospel in Galatians - KANNADA / September 11, 2017
Living by the Spirit
Although in the life of all believers a conflict exists between the desires of the flesh and the desires of the Spirit, the Christian life does not have to be doomed to failure. Because Christ has conquered the power of sin and death, the Christian life can be a life in which the Spirit reigns, bringing us a daily supply of God's grace to enable us to keep the desires of the flesh at bay.
The Gospel in Galatians - KANNADA / September 04, 2017
Freedom in Christ
Freedom is one of Paul's favorite words for defining the gospel. It includes both what Christ has done for us in freeing us from bondage to the world and also how we are called to live the Christian life. We need to be careful, however, that our liberty does not fall prey either to legalism or licentiousness. Christ did not set us free so that we could serve ourselves but so that we might give our lives in ministry to our neighbors.
The Gospel in Galatians - KANNADA / August 28, 2017
The Two Covenants
The stories of Hagar, Ishmael, and the children of Israel at Sinai illustrate the foolishness of trying to rely upon our own efforts to accomplish what God has promised. This method of self-righteousness is referred to as the old covenant. The new covenant is the everlasting covenant of grace first established with Adam and Eve after sin, renewed with Abraham, and ultimately fulfilled in Christ.
The Gospel in Galatians - KANNADA / August 21, 2017
Paul's Pastoral Appeal
Having made a number of detailed and theologically sophisticated arguments, Paul now makes a more personal and emotional appeal to the Galatians. He begs them to listen to his counsel, reminding them of the positive relationship they once shared and of the genuine love and concern he has for them as their spiritual parent.
The Gospel in Galatians - KANNADA / August 14, 2017
From Slaves to Heirs
In Christ we have been adopted into God's family as His sons and daughters. As God's children, we have access to all the rights and privileges that such a family relationship entails. To relate to God on the basis of rules and regulations alone would be foolish. It would be like a son wanting to renounce his position and inheritance in order to become a slave.
The Gospel in Galatians - KANNADA / August 07, 2017
The Road to Faith
The law was given to point sinners to their need of Christ. As a custodian, it provides instruction about God and protection from evil. But like a disciplinarian, it also points out our sinfulness and brings condemnation. Christ frees us from the law's condemnation and writes His law upon our hearts.
The Gospel in Galatians - KANNADA / July 31, 2017
The Priority of the Promise
The giving of the law on Sinai did not invalidate the promise that God made to Abraham, nor did the law alter the promise's provisions. The law was given so that people might be made aware of the true extent of their sinfulness and recognize their need of God's promise to Abraham and his descendants.

I'll be teaching future progressive this Saturday. Please check if my idea is correct between the difference of simple future and future progressive.
Example sentences:
Simple Future: I will study when you get home.
Future progressive: I will be studying when you get home.
With the simple future, I will only study when you arrive unlike with the future progressive I am already in the act of studying when you arrive.
Am i right?
Not bad.
Good luck!

Have you ever wanted to be more persuasive, convincing, or if nothing else, understand how others try to influence you? …Of course! Who hasn't?
Understanding how storytelling works in persuasion, influence, and change, and the research/neuroscience that informs it all is critical if anyone is going to work with stories effectively.
And hooray -- Gregory Ciotti has put together his list of favorite books that help us understand persuasion, influence, change, and stories more deeply. We'll all become more articulate and better at our craft -- whether you are a consultant, storyteller, entrepreneur or CEO.
Some of these I've read, some I haven't -- so I can't wait to dig into this list myself.
I hope we all learn lots and gain lots of useable insights for our work. Enjoy!

I believe the law school admission council (www.lsac.com) has what you seek.
http://officialguide.lsac.org/Search/FullSearch.aspx?location=aftergraduation&cmd=showYou can also open up the individual pages for each school in the ABA/LSAC guide to law schools.
Just an FYI as someone studying for the bar right now, your school its self has little impact on whether youll pass or not. They simply dont teach you enough in law school to pass the bar. You have to take barbri or some other prep course or self study, because what you learn in law school is not enough or the right stuff to pass the bar. So when looking at school bar pass rates its better to infer that the students at lower pass schools are not doing their due diligence in preparing for the exam rather than the school not preparing them to take the exam. I dont think anyone at any school could pass a bar if they took it right after graduation without any prep. You also to factor in the varying toughness of a states bar, some have like 90%+ pass rates while others have 70% or lower pass rates, some are two days long some are three days and for the most part there is not a lot of standardization on whats tested on the essay parts of each states exam. Some test corporations, some dont, some test just state law, other test just the majority rules throughout the US. Some test subjects that are not tested in any other states like Oil and Gas or Water law, some use the MEE that asks the same question is several states, some states write their own bar questions. The only standardized part of the exam is the one day of the MBE (multiple choice) which is given in all but 1-2 states I think. Whats tested the second or third day is pretty much up to the states and the subjects covered and can be very different from state to state. So you pretty much have to take a bar prep or self study course particular to THAT state to pass that states bar. And for each state you want to practice in you have to pass at least the written part of that states bar. There is no universal bar exam thats good in more than one state. Just something to consider when looking at schools bar passage rates, the raw number really does not tell you the whole story with out aslo factoring the above stuff.
