This week, our nation commemorates the 57th anniversary of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision. This month, we also remember the freedom riders, who, 50 years ago, risked their lives to fight for equality and justice. As we reflect on these historic events and their meaning for our nation today, we would also like to take the opportunity to reflect on the federal role in ensuring equal educational opportunity for all – the progress we have seen and the considerable challenges still ahead. We believe this perspective is critical as Congress begins to consider reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
The public education system is critical to democracy and the cornerstone of our republic. It is the gateway to opportunity and is vital to building respect for the worth, dignity, and equality of every individual in our diverse society. Public education provides individuals with the skills to be involved, informed, and engaged in our representative democracy.
Our nation's history is one in which the rule of law affirmatively prevented many children from receiving a quality education, banishing them to separate and unequal schools and a lifetime of lost opportunities. Even after the historic Brown v. Board of Education ruling, massive educational disparities remained, with many states failing to ensure adequate resources and supports.
Much of the modern federal role in education was born out of these disparities and intended to ensure that all students had access to the education necessary to succeed. The federal government recognized that addressing educational inequalities in a coordinated approach was essential to promote democracy, ensure equality of educational opportunity, and enhance national competitiveness. Programs like Title I were conceived to level the playing field and target resources to those areas and students who, simply by virtue of where they lived, were starting out far behind their peers in more affluent areas and were essentially doomed never to catch up.
Title I and other federal programs have made a significant difference in addressing gaps in educational access and opportunity. However, many challenges remain as far too many students' success in school continues to depend in large part on the zip code where they live. Today, students who struggle the most in impoverished communities too often don't attend safe schools with reliable heat and air conditioning; do not have safe passage to and from school; and do not have access to great teachers on a regular and consistent basis.
Given these challenges, we are very concerned that Congress is headed in a direction contrary to the core values on which ESEA was built. States and school districts are being asked to do more with considerably fewer federal resources while proven federal programs designed to fill specific gaps are being slated for elimination.
As Congress reauthorizes ESEA, we urge you to look back – to remember the days before ESEA when generations of children were denied the basic educational opportunities they deserved. We urge you to judge proposals on whether they will strengthen our educational system, or whether they will move us backward to those unforgiveable days. And, we urge you to look forward – to consider the needs of our nation in the 21st century and to judge all proposals on whether they will help us build a competitive workforce and strong democracy.
We have attached for your information and use a series of one-pagers that outline NEA's key priorities for ESEA reauthorization: preparing all students to thrive in college, careers, and life; supporting great teachers and education support professionals; and ensuring equitable and safe schools for every student.
President John F. Kennedy said in 1961, "Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. Our requirements for world leadership, our hopes for economic growth, and the demands of citizenship itself in an era such as this all require the maximum development of every young American's capacity. The human mind is our fundamental resource." This still holds true today. As our nation continues to struggle in these volatile times, we look forward to working with you to ensure the world-class public education that every child deserves and that our nation needs.


Tracy Morgan is back baby! And in a big way! We're a little over halfway into the season, and it's so great to see the show hitting its stride. If you're a fan, check out our interview with Morgan's co-star Allen Maldonado who plays his cousin, Bobby.
There's lots of controversy currently swirling around the Teen Mom 2 cast, and it seems like fans are eating it up. With this week's episode called "Not to Stir the Pot, but…" it seems like everyone's on board for some serious drama!

One of the best science-fiction movies of all time was Stanley Kubrick's 2001, A Space Odyssey. Many people nowadays wonder what the big deal was with this movie. They have only seen it on the small screen. With digital special effects in more modern movies, the special effects seem ho-hum. In 1968, in a theatrical release, it was spectacular. I was one of the lucky ones who saw it in Cinerama in a wide-screen theatre. It was nothing short of mind blowing.
The film deals with thematic elements of human evolution, technology, artificial intelligence, and extraterrestrial life, and is notable for its scientific realism, pioneering special effects, ambiguous imagery that is open-ended to a point approaching surrealism, sound in place of traditional narrative techniques, and minimal use of dialogue.
In my opinion such movies as Star Wars and Alien probably would not have been made were it not for the success of 2001. It was the first movie to show that a serious SF film with great special effects could draw a large audience. Perhaps one of the reasons for this was that the Apollo space program and other NASA space probes were gaining popularity. It was only a year later that Lance Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the surface of the moon. Four years later Pioneer 10 had reached the planet Jupiter.
For those of you who had never saw the movie, here is a synopsis (warning, it contains spoilers): The movie starts millions of years ago when a group of subhumans are competing with tapirs and other homids for food. One morning a tall, thin, rectangular black monolith stands among the rocks. The apemen are excited but touch the object and calm down. By touching the monolith, they have learned to use bones as weapons and tools.
In the next scene the action moves to the near future where travel to the moon is an every day affair. A similar monolith is found on the moon and sends a signal towards Jupiter.
Eighteen months later a manned spacecraft is sent to Jupiter to investigate. Two of the team are awake to run the ship with the aid of an almost human AI called HAL. The other three are in hibernation. Hal announces that there is a problem with the AE-35 unit and it will fail with 100% certainty within 72 hours. The astronauts go EVA to replace the unit. The two astronauts scan the removed AE-35 unit but can't find any defects. Hal suggests putting it back in service to let it fail. Mission Control believes Hal has made an error because their HAL9000 unit, a twin to the one aboard Discovery, finds no flaw in the AE-35. Hal denies any chance of computer error. The astronauts go to a pod to have a private chat and decide to disable Hal's higher functions without disturbing the automatic ship control functions. Hal can see the men through the pod's window and reads their lips. When Poole goes out in the EVA pod, the pod murders him. When Dave uses a pod to recover Frank's body, a computer malfunction alert goes off and the life signs of the three hibernating astronauts flat line. Hal refuses to open the pod bay doors for Dave, explaining that he knows Dave is planning to disconnect him because he was able to read Frank and Dave's lips when they discussed it. He says the mission is too important to allow humans to jeopardize it. Dave releases Frank's body and maneuvers the pod to the emergency airlock hatch. He uses the pod's arms to open the door, holds his breath and jumps over to the ship. Dave goes to the computer room and shuts down HAL.
A much larger black monolith floats in Jupiter orbit,. Bowman leaves the Discovery in another EVA pod and enters a wormhole. The pod ends up somewhere in time and space in a bedroom with luminous white walls and floor and furniture in the style of Louis XVI. Dave ages swiftly until he is a dying old man. A monolith appears and transforms him into a star child.
If all of this sounds sort of mundane, it is because there is no way to describe the marvelous cinematography, special effects, music and emotional impact of the movie.
The idea for the movie was taken from an Arthur Clarke short story, The Sentinel. Clarke also wrote the script.
A sequel to the movie was released in 1984 called 2010: The Year We Made Contact starring Roy Schneider. The plot is based on Arthur Clarke's novel 2010: Odyssey Two.
It is a rather good movie itself, but nowhere as spectacular as 2001.

The proposals surrounding the EU's common consolidated corporate tax base do not differ much to 2011, so why is it being pursued again?
Yet another set of tax proposals from Europe emerged last Tuesday. Last week, the European Parliament was sitting in Strasbourg, and the entire European Union machine had decamped from Brussels to do its business in the French city.


In Spring woodlands are fantastic places to be; the birds are singing to mark their territories, invertebrates are emerging and wildflowers are bursting into colour. The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales has a number of woodland reserves all with a variety of Spring flora currently emerging!
The UK has the lowest percentage of woodland areas in Europe; approximately only 12% of the UK is considered woodland. Despite there being so little, the array of wildflowers found in British woodlands is a sign Spring is underway.
Bluebells (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) are a woodland species which carpet the woodland floor and produce a sweet scent. They are commonly used as an indicator for ancient woodlands. The flowers are on the end of a long stalk, where they droop to one side. Half of the world's population of Bluebells is found in the UK! This species should not be confused with the non-native Spanish Bluebell (Hyacinthoides hispanica), which has upright stems and no scent. The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales manage several woodland reserves where Bluebells can be seen, such as Coed Penglanowen, in Ceredigion, and Brynna Woods, on the outskirts of Rhondda. On some reserves such as Brynna Woods a management technique known as coppicing has been undertaken, allowing more dappled sunlight to reach the woodland floor and encourage growth of species such as Bluebells and Wild Garlic.
There are a number of other wildflower species to be looking out for at this time of year including Wood Anemone, Lily of the Valley, Lesser Celandine and Red Campion, to name a few. Some species such as Cow Parsley are hard to miss as it can grow up to a metre in height.
Some of our reserves are ideal if you fancy a woodland walk to spot the wildflowers emerging, including: Pengelli Forest in Pembrokeshire, Coed y Bedw in Cardiff, Coed y Bwl in Bridgend, Castle Woods in Llandeilo, Poor Man Woods in Llandovery and Gelli Hir Woods in Swansea.
When visiting these woodland sites it's important to watch your step and not to pick the wildflowers, allowing them to reseed for another beautiful display next year.
Find out more information about how you can encourage wildflowers in your garden, or become a member of The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales to help us carry out our vital conservation work.


Is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Akira Toriyama. It was originally serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1984 to 1995, with the 519 individual chapters published into 42 tankōbon volumes by Shueisha. Dragon Ball was initially inspired by the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West. The series follows the adventures of the protagonist, Son Goku, from his childhood through adulthood as he trains in martial arts and explores the world in search of the seven mystical orbs known as the Dragon Balls, which can summon a wish-granting dragon when gathered. Along his journey, Son Goku makes several friends and battles a wide variety of villains, many of whom also seek the Dragon Balls for their own desires.
Bulma is a girl in search of the mystical dragonballs that when brought together grant any wish. In her search she bumps into the owner of one of these balls, a strange boy named Son Goku. The two then set off together, Bulma in search of the dragonballs and Son Goku on a quest to become stronger.


Newcastle Urology at the Freeman Hospital is the most experienced provider of lithotripsy treatment in the North East of England, a specialist technique that treats stones which have developed in the kidney and ureter (the tube that takes the urine from the kidney to the bladder).
An innovative and minimally invasive technique called extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is used to treat the stones without the need for surgery. Instead, using either x-ray or an ultrasound scan to localise the stone, high energy shock waves are passed through the body to break the stones into tiny pieces which will pass through the body when you urinate.
This minimally invasive treatment means you can come into the unit, have your treatment and return home the same day, to enjoy a rapid and stress free recovery.
Whilst the majority of small kidney stones can be treated using lithotripsy, large stones are not suitable for this type of treatment and will require removal using other methods such as an operating telescope.
See Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy for more information on this form of treatment.
Come through the Main Entrance and follow the main corridor as far as you can go, passing the shop and hairdressers.
The Lithotripsy Unit is directly ahead of you at the end of this corridor.
The clinical team in the Lithotripsy Unit include experienced specialist clinicians and nursing staff, who are supported by a team of healthcare professionals.
Please note that although your appointment is with a named consultant you may be seen by a member of their team.

Goodbyes are hard, which is why I'm completely avoiding this one.
February was my last month with IJM. The ending was bittersweet, and came faster than anyone would want at such a lovely, transformational place, but good things are ahead.

We at IJM have been working around the clock over the past week to help our anti-slavery champion, Senator Bob Corker, bring the End Modern Slavery Initiative (EMSI) to the Senate floor for a vote. It is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, March 8. EMSI, if enacted, would create a public-private foundation to fund slavery eradication in heavily-burdened countries. EMSI's approach prioritizes actually freeing slaves and bringing perpetrators to justice. Senator Corker was inspired to develop this legislation by IJM's anti-slavery casework around the world.

THE CITY OF NASHVILLE runs along the winding Cumberland River. To the east lie mountain ranges with names that have stories in them, like Great Smoky and Unicoi. Go west on the road to Jackson and Memphis, and you'll come to the Mississippi Delta and the Gulf Coastal Plain.
Nashville's flag has a true blue background, said to represent the courage and conviction of the city's leaders throughout history, and its gold stripe stands for the richness of the city's land and resources. Named for a general in the American Revolutionary War, there's no doubt about it: Nashville is indeed wealthy in history, land, and resources.

The Voice is an Indian singing reality talent show, based on the original Dutch version of the program created by John de Mol and is part of a wider international franchise. The show, hosted by Karan Tacker, and Meet Jain (backstage. The show's coaches include leading Bollywood singers Himesh Reshammiya, Mika Singh, Shaan and Sunidhi Chauhan.
The series consists of three phases: a Blind Audition, a Battle Phase and Live Performance shows. Four coaches, all famous musicians, choose teams of contestants through a blind audition process. Each coach has the length of the entrant's performance (about 90 seconds) to decide if he or she wants that singer on his or her team; if two or more coaches want the same singer, then the singer gets to choose their coach.
The first televised stage is the blind auditions, where participants sing in front of the coaches. In this round, each coach selects 14 singers for their team. All coaches are seated on a chair that is turned back from the stage. The coaches only judge by the power, clarity, type and uniqueness of the artists singing. If they like what they hear and want to mentor the artist for the next stage, they push a red button by their chair that would turn the chair around to face the stage and also see the artists for the first time after they sing to avoid any due bias according to characteristics and personality. If more than one coach turns around, the power to pick goes to the artist who will be given the chance to pick coach of his/her choice. If no coach turns his/her chair, the auditioning artist's journey ends. At the end, each of the coach selects a total number of 14 artists in his or her team who advance to the next round.
The second stage, 'the Battle rounds', is where two artists are mentored and then developed by their respective coach. The coaches of the team will "dedicate themselves to developing their artists, giving them advice, and sharing the secrets of their success in the music industry". Every member of their team battle against another member from their team. They sing the same song simultaneously, while their coach decides who should continue in the competition. The coaches have to choose from the individual "battles" to take artists to the Live Round.
The third stage, 'Live Shows', is where the remaining 7 members of each team 'would be performing solo and trying their best to entertain the audience and impress the judges'. After Round 1, each of the coaches can save 3 contestants to progress, after Rounds 2 and 3, each coach can save 2 contestants to progress and after Round 4, each coach can save 1 contestant to progress to the Semi-Final round. The remaining contestants progress through Public Voting conducted after each round.
In the Semi Finals, the final two contestants of each team face off against each other. The judges then split 100 points between the two performers of his team. The winner is decided by the combination of Public Votes received and points given by their respective judges.
In the Finals, the winner out of the final four contestants (one from each team) is chosen from the results of the live public voting results.

US Homeland Security systems run on outdated, unpatched software, audit finds
Luana PASCU
The US Department of Homeland Security is pretty bad at digitally protecting national security interests, says an audit report released on March 7 by the agency"s watchdog, the Office of Inspector General (OIG).
According to the findings, the agency is working with systems running on old, outdated software that haven"t had a security patch in five years. For example, some systems were still running un-patched Flash, anonymous users had access to shared network drives and user emails could be easily manipulated because exchange folders were indexed in cache mode.
"Windows 2008 and 2012 operating systems were missing security patches for Oracle Java, an unsupported version of Internet Explorer, and a vulnerable version of Microsoft"s Sidebar and Gadgets applications," the report says. "Some of the missing security patches dated back to July 2013."
On top of that, workstations using Windows 8.1 and 7 did not have the WannaCry security patch.
As many as 64 vulnerable systems were detected in the network, including 16 that contained national security classified documents. Without immediate measures to secure critical systems, top secret data could be leaked or exposed to other risks, including unauthorized alteration or destruction.
But this is not the only obstacle DHS faces in achieving more effective system and network protection. The biggest concern is that the US government lacks the qualified workforce needed to meet cybersecurity requirements, because too few specialists ARE on the market in general.
DHS is not the only agency to suffer from the skill gap; the Coast Guard and Secret Service also lack the proper security training and mechanisms to protect their data FROM cybersecurity threats. Even though Microsoft no longer offers support for Windows Sever 2003, the three organizations were still using it at the time of the report.
"Until DHS overcomes challenges to addressing its systemic information security weaknesses, it will remain unable to ensure that its information systems adequately protect the sensitive data they store and process," says the report.
After having addressed topics such as NFC, startups, and tech innovation, she has now shifted focus to internet security, with a keen interest in smart homes and IoT threats.

One issue I see constantly is users running out of hard drive space. Despite the fact that we're talking hundreds of gigabytes, people who call me are often down to 1% of free space on their drives. This isn't a mere inconvenience – it's an important issue to address ASAP, as a too-full drive is in danger of crashing, which is a much more serious problem, as far as time, money and aggravation are concerned.
Barring removing the internal drive and replacing it with a higher capacity drive (a process that is becoming increasingly more difficult as Apple is making DIY upgrades harder and harder), the best way to reclaim hard drive space is to eliminate space hogging files and folders. This involves spending some time figuring out exactly where these files are located, and then deleting them and emptying the trash.
Before doing any of this, confirm you have quit all open applications. In the top left corner of the screen, the word FINDER should appear to the right of the apple. If any other word is there (such as Mail), pull down on that word and select "Quit," which is the bottom choice.
Highlight your hard drive icon on your desktop (commonly named "Macintosh HD") by clicking on it ONCE and selecting "Get Info" (Command-I) from the "Finder" menu. This will show you the capacity of your drive, how much space has been used and how much free space remains. Remember how much free space you have; then close the window. Repeat this info gathering process once you've completed all of the steps outlined below.
Pull down on the FINDER menu (upper left corner) and select "Empty Trash." If that command is grayed out, your trash is empty.
If you use Microsoft Entourage or Outlook as your mail client, you may have "rebuilt" mail identities languishing in your computer. To see what's happening here, open your "home" folder (the folder with the "house" icon found inside your USERS folder) and then open the Documents folder. Inside, there is a folder named "Microsoft User Data" and inside that, a folder named either "Office 2008 Identities" or "Office 2011 Identities." Inside the identities folder is where your stored mail resides; if there are any old "rebuilt" identities in there, you can trash them*.
You should also clean up your Documents folder since you're already in there. A lot of files, many no longer needed, are relegated to this folder. Trash what you don't need. And then empty the trash.
* Contact a computer professional before trashing any files. And you should also confirm ALL of your data is backed up!
Similar to Documents, your Downloads folder is a repository for all sorts of stuff; downloaded documents and photos, software installers and even larger audio and video files. Your download folder is also found in your "home" folder. Virtually every download with a .dmg suffix can be trashed, unless it's an installer for a software package you purchased. Other things that can go are old bank/credit card statements, pictures that have already been imported into iPhoto and music files that have already been imported into iTunes.
Open SYSTEM PREFERENCES (from under the Apple in the upper left corner of the screen) and select "Users & Groups." Here, you'll see a list of user accounts; the current user will be at the top of the list. If there are any accounts that are no longer needed, you can delete them. Note that deleting any user account instantly expunges ALL the data in that account, so you will probably want to check what's in it before proceeding.
If you sync iPhones, iPads and iPods to your Mac, there's a folder that keeps the data from all of these devices – even ones you no longer own or use. The MobileSync folder is found in Home>Library>Application Support. You can trash this entire folder – it will eventually rebuild, but the "new" version will only contain the backup of your current devices, not any unused devices.
BUT – in order to access the "Library" folder on your Mac, you have to pull down on the GO menu in the Finder WHILE holding down the OPTION key. In the list of items you'll see LIBRARY. Select LIBRARY and open APPLICATION SUPPORT. Here you'll see the MobileSync folder. Simply pull it into the trash and then empty the trash. But you must understand that this folder will be recreated and start to rebuild once you reconnect any iOS devices to your Mac.
You can also house your iPhoto and iTunes libraries on an external drive, but that process is a blog post into itself. I'll cover that in a future missive.
Wow, a long one, but totally necessary. Remember – BACK UP YOUR DATA before attempting any of these steps. And if you're unsure about ANYTHING, contact a competent professional (me) to handle this process.
What's the deal with Yosemite?
After months of hype, Yosemite, Apple's latest OS X version, finally dropped three weeks ago. Since everybody knows that I update my software as soon as it's released, I instantly got calls and emails asking whether it was OK to update to it, so I installed it shortly after it was released.
OK, so what is the big deal with Yosemite?
This aside, there are some applications and utilities that don't work, including early versions of Quicken, Dropbox and other Power PC-based programs, though there seems to be updates for all of these. Apple has also discontinued some of its applications, including Front Row, iSync, Sherlock and iChat (now called Messages).
Yosemite's big claim to fame is its "Continuity" feature. Users can answer phone calls on any of their devices (Macintosh Computer, iPad, but this can be disabled), as well as being able to "pick up on where they left off" when continuing work on a different device.
For example, starting a Numbers document on your Mac at work can be completed on your iPad at home. The same goes for composing an email. (Note that this continuity only works with Apple software – the feature doesn't work Microsoft and other third-party software).
I don't know if that's a definite "need" for users. In other words, it seems that this feature wasn't designed to fill a gaping hole, but was created to be something "neat" that users may want to do, at least a couple of times.
Upgrade, Rapair or Say Goodbye?
I am often asked to solve issues of full hard drives, under-RAMed machines and to help to prop up ancient Macs in order to wring another year out of them.
Sometimes it's a quick fix that a few bucks and 15 minutes can solve, such as adding more RAM. Other times it's more complex, such as installing a larger hard drive, a process that involves the price of the new hard drive as well as paying for the installation and data transfer. And then there are things like a bad motherboard or a dead power supply that cost several hundred dollars to repair at the Apple Store or other Apple retailer.
Age of the Mac. If your Mac is over four years old, then anything short of a RAM install or larger hard drive is probably not a good idea. Things like motherboards and power supplies are expensive – usually around $400 or so. And when they go bad, they're usually in computers that are over five years old.
Think of those sorts of issues the same way you think about a transmission in your car. When your transmission goes, you have to consider the age of the car before you decide to go ahead and replace the transmission. The same goes for your computer. But I would say that 90% of the time, it's prudent to get a new Mac.
Money. Sometimes buying a new computer solves a lot of problems. Rather than spending the time and money to install a larger hard drive when there's a new computer in your future, it's best to pull the trigger a few months early rather than have to repeat the data migration process. Plus, a computer purchase, if used for business, is a tax deduction.
A good way to gauge your computer's value is to see what similar models are selling for on eBay. But remember – that price also includes reformatting the drive as well as putting in the effort of listing it on eBay, packing up the computer and shipping it, a process that most people realistically don't want to bother with.
Apple Mail or Microsoft Outlook?
That's one of those age-old questions, similar to Coke or Pepsi, American or National League and Ginger or Mary Ann. Two seemingly similar, yet very different options are presented, and you're either on one side or the other. Both have their pros and cons, and it's usually a matter of personal choice rather than the quality and there's no wrong answer.
There are debates galore both online and offline for all these items; the one that concerns us here is the choice of email client. While there are several B-list options available (Thunderbird, Viewer For Gmail, etc.) there really are only two kings of the mountain here, one that is included with the Mac OS, the other part of the most popular third-party software package available for Macs.
The thing that I find especially frustrating about Apple Mail is its tendency to stop working. The most annoying glitch is its inability to send mail, giving you the dreaded "Cannot send message using your mail server," even though this configuration worked fine in the past. Users with the mail.optimum.net server are particularly prone to this flaw.
The other issue that makes Apple Mail a loser is another random issue; for no reason, it will take mailboxes "offline." There's no logical reason why ANYBODY would want his/her mailbox "offline," so why bother adding that feature?
Also, Apple mail is fussy how accounts are set up; if it is unable to "find" the mail account, it makes it difficult to continue. This is bad when somebody like me is attempting to set up an account when the computer is offline.
On the other hand, Outlook has its fair share of baggage. Its biggest issues are its incompatibility with Apple's address book (Contacts) and its tendency for the mail database to become bloated, slowing down the application. Also, if the database becomes corrupt (something that happens without warning), it's not always possible to regain all your email. And although the option is available, attempting to sync your Apple contacts with Outlook's address book usually ends up in duplicate frustration.
There's an easy answer; the Groupon wasn't interesting to me, plus I can easily go to its site to see ALL of the offers, and I wasn't planning on shopping at Macy*s this week. So BOOM – off they go into my Deleted Items. I've seen too many people with 10,000+ UNREAD messages in their inboxes – bad news! Not only does a loaded email box make things run more slowly, it takes up valuable hard drive space and can cause the mail program to bonk, sometimes resulting in the loss of many of those messages.
All through my years of working in the industry, whether it's in a corporate IT environment, a tech writing job or just freelance, I've gotten pretty slick at keeping my inbox empty, or at least at a manageable level. I've come up with a few easy-to-implement tricks to keep things from spiraling out of control. Yes, it does take some work on your part – but spending a couple of minutes a day keeping things tidy is preferable to paying a professional big bucks to reconstruct your email.
#1) Establish a second email address for retail subscriptions, as well as other mailing lists.
Adding a second (or third) email account to handle mailing lists is a stellar idea, particularly now that we're all using iPads and iPods to get our mail. This serves two purposes – it keeps our "real" inboxes free of non-essential messages, and because most of these mails are timely, it's easy to delete them in bulk. I can't begin to tell you how many users still hold onto J. Crew messages announcing a sale that expires in October 2011.
Just be honest – if you don't read an email soon after you receive it, it's probably irrelevant anyway. And question if it's even pertinent to your situation – if you're on the Hilton Properties list because you stayed at one of its hotels recently, does any news from them have any bearing on what you're doing now?
#4) Create separate folders for completed tasks.
If you need to save archive old email messages, store them in newly created folders to help clear out your inbox. Not only does this help keep your inbox neat and clean, it also helps your overall organization. Create as many of these folders as you need; you can organize them by sender, project or date.
#5) Create a "Pending Issues" subfolder to store messages that require action on your part.
The "Pending Issues" folder isn't simply a storage bin to bulk offload messages from your inbox – think of it as a "to do" list for your action items.
#6) Be at peace with the fact that you're NEVER going to read those old emails.
Human nature is funny – there are some things in life that everybody believes they possess; personal style, a sense of humor, good driving skills and excellent taste in music. Add one more – the belief that they're someday going to read those old emails. It's not going to happen. And the sooner they come to that realization, the better off mankind will be.


PEF Members: Watch out for FAKE NEWS emails, texts, social media anti-union posts!
Home » Hot Topic » PEF Members: Watch out for FAKE NEWS emails, texts, social media anti-union posts!
PEF Members and Leaders, be on Alert! Since mid-March, the underhanded tactics we've seen being used against unions nationwide by those forces trying to destroy the labor movement have been targeted at PEF. Several emails, purportedly sent by me as President of PEF, have been continuously sent out announcing supposed changes in PEF policy.
These emails, claiming changes in financial, dues and other policies, are ENTIRELY FALSE AND MISLEADING, and aimed at tearing us apart.
Any communications purporting to be from me or PEF headquarters, that are not from one of the above, should be questioned! Also, I caution you not to click on links in any emails you find suspicious.
Make sure people are who they say they are.
Be wary about individuals seeking information about our union.

"For an adult with a family who has to pay for food, clothing, and a place to live, and be able to pay for a car, the minimum wage is clearly not high enough," wrote Bethany of Eleva-Strum High School.
Wisconsin was one of the first states to enact a Living Wage. The law gave authority for determining a living wage to an Industrial Commission made up of a balance of employers, employees and the public. The year was 1913.
Two years earlier, people attending a national conference of the National Consumers' League in Milwaukee called for a minimum wage. Advocates made a minimum wage the top issue.
Following the conference, Wisconsinites called on leaders to create a state minimum wage.
The next year, UW Professor John Connors wrote the first minimum wage bill. Progressive lawmakers introduced two bills. But neither bill was signed into law.
Massachusetts has the distinct honor for passing the first minimum wage law in 1912.
In 1913, Wisconsin joined seven other states, including Minnesota and Oregon, to pass state minimum wage laws. But not until 1919 did workers see the result in better wages.
Opponents challenged an Oregon law, similar to Wisconsin's, in court. A tie vote in the United States Supreme Court eventually cleared the way for action.
The first Wisconsin minimum wage was only for women and minors over age 17. Men were not included in state minimum wage laws until 1975 law when lawmakers first used the term "employees".
The first wage was set at twenty-two cents an hour. Advocates challenged this wage, asking the commission to make the pay "more commensurate with a proper living standard". A few years later the minimum wage was increased to a quarter an hour.
Again, action of the courts interfered with people's ability to make a living wage. In 1923, the US Supreme Court declared all minimum wage laws unconstitutional. The action was a set-back for all living wage advocates. Wisconsin reacted by passing an "oppressive" wage law protecting women and minors from very low wages.
By 1937, the Supreme Court reversed its decision clearing the way for Wisconsin's original law to again take effect. The next year President Roosevelt signed a law setting the first federal minimum wage at twenty-five cents an hour.
Wisconsin kept its own living wage. Even so, inequalities continued for women, and worse for rural women. For example, in 1956, the federal minimum was a dollar an hour. The state wage for women and minors was seventy cents in an urban area and fifty cents for women and minors who worked in a small town or rural area.
The Industrial Commission regularly reconsidered a living wage. The Commission authorized studies of the cost of living and made many adjustments. The last "living wage" study was done in 1967. The study recommended Wisconsin use the federal Consumer Price Index (CPI). The state then set a policy to revise minimum wages every other year using the CPI. As near as I can tell by reading state historical documents, this approach continued through the 1970s.
But by the 1980s, the minimum wage was no longer a living wage. And in the last budget, the Governor and Legislative majority repealed the very definition of "living wage" and the law allowing an employee to file a complaint if he or she felt unfairly compensated.
If the minimum wage kept up with inflation since 1968 workers would now be paid $11.17 an hour. According to a recent report of the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), in 2016, $7.25, the current minimum wage, buys ten percent less than when it was last raised in 2009 and one-quarter less its value in 1968.
According to EPI, raising the minimum wage to $15 in 2024 would undo the erosion that began in the 1980s. Several members of Congress have introduced a bill to raise the minimum wage in eight steps to $15 by 2024.
Yes, Bethany, the minimum wage is clearly not enough. For a hundred years, Wisconsinites traveled a long journey to keep a minimum living wage. Now is it's our turn to take up the struggle and advocate for our neighbors and friends.

i was lucky enough on sunday to meet a fellow blogger!
Astrid's mom had an exhibit called Foundling at the Grimsby Art Gallery which is super close to where we live. ivan and i popped over to say hello and ended up spending the entire afternoon with Astrid, her mom and Astrid's friend who co-ops at the gallery. everyone was so, so nice and we had sooo much fun.
we took some photos, that's just what happens when you put 2 bloggers in the same room...this is apparently our definition of 'acting natural', haha. Astrid's mom (who is awesome by the way) took a bunch of photos. these were ivan's 'behind the scenes' photos.
Astrid and her mom were so so sweet. they even gave me a signed copy of the exhibit catalogue. the catalogue is beautiful and Astrid did a bunch of the photography for it. so cool!
i always get nervous meeting people for the first time (i'm kind of shy) but i am so glad ivan and i went. I'm sure Astrid will be posting more photos from the exhibit so pop by her blog and say hello! i totally wish i was part of Astrid's family, that's how awesome she and her mom are!
*__* I love all those pretty clothes! and those teacups are so pretty!
So lovely exhibition! I also get nervous meeting people for the first time, but it's good to get to know new people.
I visited the library and my friend this weekend. She showed me some really beautiful stamps.
Looks like a super cute exhibit!
that sounds like an amazing time: art gallery, new friends, pictures, and cool moms. what more is there to life?? well a lot more, but how exciting!
I had quite the boring weekend myself. I found a little sandwich shop today that has a de-licious veggie sub, though.
Hehe, it seems like getting in the photography "zone" extends to everyone who owns a camera now! When me and my friends meet with our dolls, we can literally lapse into silence for ten or twenty minutes just snapping happily away...! It's good to have friends who understand lol!
You and Astrid = sweetness personified! xox!
Love the patterns and colors on the vintage fabrics! You look adorbs in the red bow headband too.
aren't they THE CUTEST family ever? Astrid is like the epitome of what I dream for Georgia's teenage years. she's so smart and well-adjusted and pretty dang cute too!
hmmm, so if Astrid is the kind of daughter I want in 15 years - does that mean that I get to be the cool artsy mom? Yesssss!!!

Keppel blows lead, then hangs on
By Keith Lair | klair@scng.com | San Gabriel Valley Tribune
PUBLISHED: February 18, 2011 at 12:00 am | UPDATED: September 6, 2017 at 8:43 am
ALHAMBRA – Alyson Luck dribbled the ball 50 feet away from the basket as if she were wondering, "What do I do next?"
Her Keppel High School basketball team had squandered a 12-point lead to visiting Whittier Christian on Thursday night in a CIF-Southern Section Division 2A first-round playoff game.
The Heralds cut the lead to six with 2:08 to play. With 15 seconds left on the shot clock, Luck began dribbling the ball up the court. As she crossed the halfcourt line, she zipped a pass to Sandra Gao, who did a pick-and-roll-like move and had a free basket in front of her.
"It was not really a play," said Luck, who plays shooting guard, power forward and post. "I just passed when I saw her open."
Gao got the hoop, with 1:04 to play, and the third-seeded Aztecs advanced to Saturday's second round with a 53-42 victory.
"They have to play four quarters," Keppel coach Hon Trieu said. "We're a young team with a brand-new program and a brand-new coach. We're learning how to finish games. They'll learn to maintain their lead. It could have easily gone the other way.
"We survived (the fourth quarter). That's the most I can say."
What happened was that the Aztecs went cold. Luck, who had a game-high 21 points, made nine of her first 13 shots, but she missed her first five shots in the fourth quarter, and the Almont League champions had another miss, allowing the Heralds to cut it to six when Rebecca Torres made a basket from the corner.
Whittier Christian, which tied for third place in the Olympic League, had a chance to close the gap further, but the Heralds ran into an issue that plagued them the whole game: turnovers.
They turned the ball over two consecutive times, leading to Gao's basket. They turned the ball over three more times in the final minute, finishing with 31 for the game.
"We just couldn't keep it strong, keep it going," said guard Trinity Flores, who had a team-high 19 points.
"They got really aggressive at the end and we weren't able to match their aggressiveness."
The Heralds seemed to have a handle early on in breaking the Aztecs' full-court trapping press, but right when they seemed to have it broken, they reverted back to being a turnover-plagued team.
"We just couldn't handle it," Flores said. "We got wild at times, but we tried our best."
Trieu said the press was the Aztecs' only option.
"They're huge," Trieu said. "We needed to do what we did, or otherwise they would have walked all over us.
"We're relentless. The only way we were going to win this game was if you go hard 100 percent of the time. We're going to have breakdowns. It's just, did we play harder than the other team? I felt like we did."

Muddled is the word when it comes to trying to quantify the costs that banks have incurred complying with the Dodd-Frank Act.
Trade associations representing the financial services industry often cite high compliance costs as a reason the 2010 law needs to be rolled back.
But none of the nine largest American banks currently designated as "systemically important financial institutions," or SIFIs, could provide Bloomberg BNA details on what it cost them to implement the 2010 law.
What data is available related to Dodd-Frank compliance costs provides an inconsistent picture about whether banks are burdened by the rule.
Financial analysts indicated that defining Dodd-Frank-related expenditures might be close to impossible, and some compliance costs, like stress-testing, were already incurred before the act was passed.
Whatever the actual cost, the nation's biggest banks have spent enough implementing Dodd-Frank and the regulations it spawned to be reluctant to dismantle the law as proposed by congressional Republicans and President Donald Trump.
The SIFIs' SEC filings cite "increased regulatory and compliance costs" and technology investments over the last eight years, but include few specific figures related to labor, technology or paperwork costs, or whether those costs were directly related to Dodd-Frank.
A 2012 JPMorgan presentation included as part of an annual report mentions "regulatory and compliance costs up ~$100 [million]" since 2008 as well as FDIC expenses "up around $170 million." In 2014, the bank indicated that it intended to hire 10,000 additional compliance officers while reducing its total head count by 5,000.
Citigroup's 2015 10-K said the bank had added 16,000 compliance staff while losing 92,000 employees overall, which, along with onshoring data, led to increased and ongoing compliance costs. But the filings did not quantify those costs.
Citigroup told Bloomberg News that it spent $180 million in 2014 to improve its capital planning processes and ensure that it would pass a Dodd-Frank-required stress test in 2015 and that one-third of that amount was a continuing expense.
In the same story, Deutsche Bank indicated that it had hired 1,300 compliance-related employees and 500 employees were hired across "various control functions in the U.S." to meet the 2015 stress test.
Numbers collected by Bloomberg BNA showed little noticeable increase in expenditures by most of the major banks that might be related to compliance—legal fees, data processing, total employees and professional fees—after Dodd-Frank was enacted.
But financial analysts told Bloomberg BNA that expenditures related to Dodd-Frank are hard to quantify for very distinct reasons.
David Wright, managing director of Deloitte Advisory's banking regulatory and compliance practice, told Bloomberg BNA that compliance costs don't always fit into one single bucket. Resolution planning by itself involves ensuring the entire firm is properly organized.
While there have been concerns over compliance costs, Wright said most of the complaining happened early on, and now most debate surrounds aspects of the Volcker Rule.
Wright added that if a company like JPMorgan or Citigroup says it added 5,000 compliance officers, that might mean it redirected some current employees to focus on compliance. Even if those were all new employees, "it's still almost nothing considering that they employ over a quarter of a million people worldwide," he said.
Karen Petrou, managing partner with Federal Financial Analytics, told Bloomberg BNA that calculating Dodd-Frank compliance costs is almost impossible because there's no simple way of separating out Dodd-Frank-related expenditures from other internal expenditures and that changes in total costs might be masked by other non-Dodd-Frank-related activity.
For example, Petrou pointed out that banks started stress-testing in 2009, before Dodd-Frank rules on stress testing were enacted. "Dodd-Frank also caused banks to re-examine their financial models, but not all work on financial models was related to Dodd-Frank requirements," she added.
Denise Valentine, senior analyst with the Aite Group, which put out a 2013 report on compliance costs related to the Department of Labor's Fiduciary Rule for broker-dealers, told Bloomberg BNA that compliance costs are often spread across a company, like in employee training or updating customer relationship management software. "But the costs are sunk. It's hard to tell people there's a high standard and then say 'never mind,'" she said by phone.
Government and other outside estimates of Dodd-Frank compliance costs vary widely.
The Government Accountability Office originally estimated Dodd-Frank compliance for all banks at $2.9 billion for the first five years.
Estimates published in the Federal Register put the total cost of implementing major Dodd-Frank provisions at $10.4 billion for all affected institutions. This includes rules for margin and capital requirements for swap entities, margin requirements for uncleared swaps, pay ratio disclosure and home mortgage disclosure.
"There are examples of rules costing $105 billion to implement. Or there's the Affordable Care Act rule that would require 1.9 trillion hours in paperwork. And there's plenty more like that," he told Bloomberg BNA.
Agencies often overestimate totals at first and then revise downward later, Batkins said. He cited an initial National Credit Union Association (NCUA) estimate that a rule would require 43 billion hours to implement. NCUA later revised that figure to 7 million, admitting numbers were accidentally multiplied rather than added when calculating the total.
Nevertheless, American Action Forum uses the numbers published in the Federal Register when compiling its own estimates, which concluded that Dodd-Frank implementation imposed $36 billion in costs and 73 million paperwork hours across all companies.
Securities and Exchange Commission rules on pay-ratio disclosure and conflict minerals prompted some of the largest number of cost-related complaints.
The Dodd-Frank Act's conflict minerals disclosure rule highlights the difficulty involved in estimating the costs involved in implementing rules accurately.
Less than 40 percent of the companies the SEC estimated would file disclosure forms actually did, and companies have begun adhering to a rule in a much simpler way.
CFSI is a coalition of companies, from Apple to Xerox, that might be affected by conflict minerals in their supply chains. According to CFSI program director Leah Butler, the organization's smelter audits are used to conform with Dodd-Frank's Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) as well as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals.
Schwartz believes that use of the CFSI audit trails, which were developed around the same time as the Dodd-Frank rule, brought down the cost of compliance considerably. "Adherence to the rule evolved in a way that the SEC didn't anticipate," he added.
