Not A Joke!!
Even If you dislike attorneys...You will love them for these tips. Read this and make a copy for your files in case you need to refer to it someday. Maybe we should all take some of his advice! A corporate attorney sent the following out to the employees in his company:
1. Do not sign the back of your credit cards. Instead, put ''PHOTO ID REQUIRED.''
2. When you are writing checks to pay on your credit card accounts, DO NOT put the complete account number on the ''For'' line. Instead, just put the last four numbers. The credit card company knows the rest of the number, and anyone who might be handling your check as it passes through all the check processing channels won't have access to it.
3. Put your work phone # on your checks instead of your home phone. If you have a PO Box use that instead of your home address. If you do not have a PO Box, use your work address. Never have your SS# printed on your checks. (DUH!) You can add it if it is necessary. But if you have It printed, anyone can get it.
4. Place the contents of your wallet on a photocopy machine . Do both sides of each license, credit card, etc. You will know what you had in your wallet and all of the account numbers and phone numbers to call and cancel. Keep the photocopy in a safe place. I also carry a photocopy of my passport when I travel either here or abroad.
5. We have been told we should cancel our credit cards immediately. But the key is having the toll free numbers and your card numbers handy so you know whom to call.. Keep those where you can find them.
6. File a police report immediately in the jurisdiction where your credit cards, etc.., were stolen. This proves to credit providers you were diligent, and this is a first step toward an investigation (if there ever is one). But here''''s what is perhaps most important of all: (I never even thought to do this.)
7. Call the 3 national credit reporting organizations immediately to place a fraud alert on your name and also call the Social Security fraud line number. I had never heard of doing that until advised by a bank that called to tell me an application for credit was made over the Internet in my name. The alert means any company that checks your credit knows your information was stolen, and they have to contact you by phone to authorize new credit. By the time I was advised to do this, almost two weeks after the theft, all the damage had been done. There are records of all the credit checks initiated by the thieves'''' purchases, none of which I knew about before placing the alert. Since then, no additional damage has been done, and the thieves threw my wallet away this weekend (someone turned it in). It seems to have stopped them dead in their tracks.. Now, here are the numbers you always need to contact about your wallet, if it has been stolen:
1.) Equifax: 1-800-525-6285 1-800-525-6285
2.) Experian (formerly TRW): 1-888-397-3742 1-888-397-3742
3.) Trans Union : 1-800-680 7289 1-800-680 7289
4.) Social Security Administration (fraud line):
1-800-269-0271 1-800-269-0271 |

加州東北部之大城市Sacramento為加州首都所在，州政府的作業似乎在不經意的枯燥乏味中日復一日的運做著，經費的調度，州法的成廢，若不是身處其中，是不易感到任何精彩或熱絡。Sacramento的另一個層面是豐富的加州墾荒血汗歷史的沉浸，老城Old Town，加州鐵路博物館，以及沿著American River的古蹟都是值得一遊的觀光勝點。可是若與San Francisco或Napa相比，卻又差了那麼一點國際美名。整個Sacramento 地區給舊金山灣區居民的感覺是個地廣人稀，收入平平，夏日炎炎，民情慵懶放鬆的地方。可是疏不知就在這個點上，正蘊育著一個將成為加州高等醫學教育學府的新星- California Northstate University。醫生，是許多華裔家長對子女夢寐以求的期許，理想。然而，要進入醫療科學的門檻高，名額稀少，花費昂貴，並且赴東部深造是事必所然。最主要的弱勢是加州本身的醫學院的選擇極為缺乏。每10萬人口中，全美就讀醫學院的學生人口為24.6，而加州只有13.4(數據來源:CCME, LLC)。California Northstate University，在不久的未來，將扭轉這個局勢。 位於Elk Grove 的CNU醫學院嶄新的校園大樓設有最高科技，人性化的學習學習環境:
■兩大授課教室: 兩側設置4個大螢幕，教授可同步呈現視覺教材的兩個層面，比如心臟肌肉vs.心臟肌肉細胞的對比，或病變前後視覺的對比。教授講台裝置了高科技電腦教學配備，達到最高學習效果，合乎人體工學的教室桌椅可挪動排置各式學習討論環境。
■實驗室: 兩大空間實驗室可供應生物 或化學實驗，配備齊全，安全，更設有幹細胞培養室。四處的螢幕方便學生隨時抬頭都可觀察實驗進度。
■學生研討室: 室內設計光明舒適，小組式的研討空間有白版畫牆，鼓勵學生隨時將自己的想法，理論，發現畫寫到牆上，與同學們分享，討論。
■解剖室: 全新大型解剖室可供數十具大體解剖學習，上方送風，下方抽風的空調裝置將甲醛的氣體有效排除控制。所有電源由天花板接送，避免電線繞地的危險。
■醫院模擬室: 高科技假人將真正人體的生理心理所有的反應模擬得微妙微俏。學生接觸病人的輕重度，痛覺，針頭插入位置，心肺復甦運作壓力，診斷治療方式的決擇，時間長短等等都可能是病人生死之間的落差。價位高昂的假人以精密的軟體設計提供學生診斷治療確切的結果資料。
■診所模擬室: 多間診療室訓練學生有效率的操作看診技能。專業的模擬病人以不同的身份，年齡，角色，病情，心情前來求醫。學生必需施以高效率，正確，適當，關切，有道德的診斷及治療。所有的操作過程都會影音記錄，做為教授評判，佼正，嘉許的基礎。
California Northstate University 的醫學院秉承學院主旨: 透過教育，服務，學術研發，社會責任來提升醫療界的科學與藝術。CNU 於2008年成立藥劑學的部門，現今已成熟，穩定。2010年初，數據報告顯示加州醫療界人才的極度缺乏，推源而思，很顯然主因是加州本身是 欠缺高品質的醫學院。CNU的董事會因而提議啟動開辦醫學院，CNSU College of Medicine。三位核心人物開始申請地方認證 Western Association of Schools and Colleges，WASC 以及專業學府認證 Liaison Committee on Medical Education，LCME。2012年，董事會聘請多位資深專業精英規劃醫學院的課程，行政準則，程序等等。2013年，教師團隊與員工團隊繼續建立各方面的結構，並帶入品管團隊來自我評估進度及成果的質量。在不斷的改善，修正下，CNU的醫學院聘請了核心的醫學教授，等待LCME的認證後及可招生開課。加州是一個人才濟濟的地方，集中了全球各地的學術精英，升學的競爭性高，高等學府的招生名額有限。想踏入醫療科學的嶺域有相當的困難度，CNU的醫學院是新起之秀，不論基礎建設與教授團隊陣容在不久的將來就要達到全美私立醫學院佼佼者之席。若能成為CNSU College of Medicine第一屆畢業生，莫是美事一樁。而要享有入學優先權，擁有CNSU的Health Science學士學位是很好的考量(Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences)。
CNSU的Health Science提供三大主修項目:
Human Biology-人體生物學
Biopsychology- 生物心理學
Health Science Administration-醫療機構行政管理
CNSU的學士學位是4年的undergraduate program。因是私立學校，採取的是cohort政策，學生在4年中若按步就班的學習是保證畢業。密集而高結構的課程安排幫助學習效果達到最高。CNU的Health Science對學生有很高的要求與期許，除了學術的研發之外，人性，同情，醫德是並駕齊驅，同等重視。在今天人類快速的生活步調下，CNSU著重學生實際的操作技能，在職場中具備有競爭性的條件已是必然的。CNSU Health Science 的畢業學士申請College of Medicine是享有優先考量。4年大學部上課地點在7667 Folsom Blvd. Sacramento。入學申請平均分為3.0。2015秋季於8月31日開課，現接受入學申請。有關California Northstate University的藥劑學，醫學院，以及健康科學的學士部均可上網查詢: www. cnsu.edu
該校將於4月25日2015年週六下午2時至4時在南灣舉行一場入學說明會。地址為6148 Bollinger Road. San Jose CA 95129 (飛揚藝術中心內)近Cupertino市。歡迎應屆高中畢業生詢問入學詳情。

4/23/2015 - Exploring China's Futures
Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, ASC 204
University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089
Time: 4:00 - 5:30PM
Cost: Free, please click here to RSVP.
China's Futures cuts through the sometimes confounding and unfounded speculation of international pundits and commentators to provide readers with an important yet overlooked set of complex views concerning China's future: views originating within China itself. Daniel Lynch seeks to answer the simple but rarely asked question: how do China's own leaders and other elite figures assess their country's future?
Many Western social scientists, business leaders, journalists, technocrats, analysts, and policymakers convey confident predictions about the future of China's rise. Every day, the business, political, and even entertainment news is filled with stories and commentary not only on what is happening in China now, but also what Western experts confidently think will happen in the future. Typically missing from these accounts is how people of power and influence in China itself imagine their country's developmental course. Yet the assessments of elites in a still super-authoritarian country like China should make a critical difference in what the national trajectory eventually becomes.
In China's Futures, Lynch traces the varying possible national trajectories based on how China's own specialists are evaluating their country's current course, and his book is the first to assess the strengths and weaknesses of "predictioneering" in Western social science as applied to China. It does so by examining Chinese debates in five critical issue-areas concerning China's trajectory: the economy, domestic political processes and institutions, communication and the Internet (arrival of the "network society"), foreign policy strategy, and international soft-power (cultural) competition.
