The male left the business without receiving any money and was apprehended a short distance away by police. The investigation is on-going and further details will be released tomorrow.
Diversity is a term that has come to mean different things to different people. Ironically, the diversity of the individuals describing the term usually results in diverse meanings. I have worked in the human resources field in Arkansas state government for more than 34 years, with 27 of those years in higher education. Prior to coming to higher education, I worked in a variety of state agencies. In the ‘70s and ‘80s there was not a lot of discussion about diversity; instead, affirmative action was the most discussed methodology for increasing workforce diversity.
One of the jobs I held in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s was affirmative action coordinator in the governor’s office. In that position, I was responsible for assisting state agencies in developing affirmative action plans. I look back on those experiences and recall how the focus was primarily on increasing the numbers of African Americans and women in under-utilized positions – those in which their numbers were low. Suffice it to say, there was a significant amount of under-utilization back then. There was not a lot of appreciation for, or thought given to, the value of adding variety to ways of thinking and carrying out the myriad duties that more women and minorities would bring.
As I moved around in state government and became involved in higher education human resources, I became more aware of all the qualities the term diversity meant in defining the workforce. One thing that truly opened my eyes was the Hudson Institute Study on Workforce 2000 that I read while working in human resources with the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in the late ‘80s. The study projected that by the year 2000, more women and people of color (African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, etc.) would be in the U.S. workforce. Although UALR was ethnically diverse at the time, I recall thinking that for any employer in an off-the-beaten-path state like Arkansas, the prophetic words of the Hudson Institute Study applied to a point much farther down the road than the year 2000. After all, the extent of the diversity that I had seen involved mainly white people and black people. The one thing I had yet to become aware of, even after reading the Hudson Institute Study, was the unseen diversity that all people bring to the workforce regardless of their ethnicity, race, or gender.
When I came to work at UAMS in 1990, I realized in very short order that the projections discussed in the Hudson Institute Study were already a reality in my home state. This was the first time, after being born, reared and educated in Arkansas, that I had experienced firsthand such diversity in one location. I saw it in the variety of human hues and textures, vocal utterings and culturally based behaviors displayed in this coming together of people from around the world. In 1990, UAMS had fewer than 6,000 employees, but it was already a global gathering place for people dedicated to improving the health of the people of Arkansas.
Shortly after coming to work for UAMS, I began having discussions with my boss, Bob Wheeler, chief human resources officer at the time, about developing a diversity process for UAMS. Through Bob’s leadership, the Office of Human Resources presented a proposal to then Chancellor Harry P. Ward, M.D. Dr. Ward endorsed the proposal, and we have had an institutional diversity process in place since 1996, with Carmelita Smith being our first manager of diversity.
I have seen numerous diversity programs over the years and many starts and stops at continually providing cultural competency training and education to our UAMS family. Oftentimes, I find myself somewhat frustrated that we have not made more progress in developing a broad institutional consciousness about diversity which continually strives to include, without hesitancy, all of the diversity our workforce represents in meeting the needs of our patients, students, and employees. I have to remind myself that improvements to the human condition take time, and it is necessary to put improvements in place by making changes designed for the long term. In all honesty, I am convinced that one of our greatest strengths at UAMS is the diversity our workforce represents.
When I look at many of our academic departments and institutes which have been and are headed by individuals who are not native to the United States, I see how diversity works and works well. The banquet table of ideas provides greater opportunities for successful outcomes when the ideas come from a diverse group and are flavored by different life experiences. I’m convinced of that when I look back over the last 12 years of my being successfully treated by Dr. Bart Barlogie and his diverse team of faculty, researchers and staff that comprise the Multiple Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy (MIRT).
I received my diagnosis of multiple myeloma from Dr. Barlogie on March 12, 2000. Since that time, he and his team of knowledgeable, skilled and caring researchers and health care providers from vastly different backgrounds have worked diligently to bring me to this point. I have experienced 12 years of remission and look forward to many more. Don’t tell me that diversity doesn’t contribute to the common good. I think I am but one example of proof that UAMS has to offer. Diversity adds value when we acknowledge it, accept it, celebrate it, and provide opportunities for all of its human bearers to optimally contribute to organizational success.

NEW ORLEANS – Movement has been centralized in the NCAA Division I Men’s Cross Country Regional Rankings so far, but we’re beginning to see it branch out a bit as the season progresses.
This past weekend teams from across the nation took part in the Coast-to-Coast Battle in Beantown and the Roy Griak Invitational and because of that, there were some changes to the Week 3 rankings that were released Monday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
Wisconsin isn’t about to let go of its No. 1 ranking in the Great Lakes Region.
Indiana and Michigan State, however, continue to play “Hot Potato” with the No. 2 ranking.
The Spartans leapfrogged the Hoosiers and took over the No. 2 spot behind the Badgers after a strong performance at the Roy Griak Invitational. Michigan State finished a close runner-up to team champion Colorado State (47-55) in Falcon Heights, Minnesota, while Indiana finished a very distant third at the Coast-to-Coast Battle in Beantown.
Eastern Michigan and Michigan rounded out the top-5 in fourth and fifth, respectively.
Nothing changed from No. 1 to No. 10 from Week 2 to Week 3.
Georgetown remains No. 1 and is followed by No. 2 Navy, No. 3 Princeton, No. 4 Penn and No. 5 Penn State.
We should many – if not, all – of those teams in action this weekend at the Paul Short Run.
Illinois moved up to the No. 2 spot behind No. 1 Oklahoma State this week.
The Illini finished a game runner-up to Syracuse as the Coast-to-Coast Battle in Beantown thanks to the individual efforts of Jesse Reiser and Jonathan Davis. Reiser and Davis went 1-2 at Franklin Park with Reiser earning the first XC win of his collegiate career.
Iowa State dropped to No. 3 and is followed by No. 4 Tulsa and No. 5 Minnesota.
There will be a time that the top-5 in the Mountain Region changes.
Week 3 is not that time.
Northern Arizona is still No. 1 with No. 2 Colorado and No. 3 BYU close by.
Next up behind the Lumberjacks, Buffs and Cougars is No. 4 Southern Utah and No. 5 Colorado State, which won the team title at the Roy Griak Invitational this past weekend.
Syracuse debuted most of its top guys this weekend at the Coast-to-Coast Battle in Beantown and excelled. The top-ranked Orange put three runners in the top-5 and all five scoring athletes in the top-15 on their way to a 35-point performance.
Columbia and Iona are No. 2 and No. 3 for the second week in a row, while Cornell and Brown both moved up one spot to round out the top-5.
Middle Tennessee State sits No. 1 for the third week in a row.
Following in order behind the Blue Raiders is No. 2 Ole Miss, No. 3 Alabama, No. 4 Florida State and No. 5 Georgia Tech.
It’s Arkansas, Texas and then anybody’s guess in the South Central Region.
The Razorbacks and Longhorns come in ranked No. 1 and No. 2 for the fourth week in a row, but behind them it is wide open as Texas A&M and Baylor climbed higher into the top-5 and McNeese State jumped seven spots from No. 12 to No. 5 after a great showing at the Texas A&M Invitational this past weekend.
Furman is still the team to beat in the Southeast Region.
No. 2 Virginia made a strong case this past weekend as it won the Panorama Farms Invitational over No. 6 Campbell.
Virginia Tech is No. 3, followed by No. 4 NC State and No. 5 Eastern Kentucky.
That’s what changed in the top-5 of the West Region.
Stanford is No. 1, Oregon is No. 2, Washington State is No. 3, Portland is No. 4 and UCLA is No. 5. Only the Bruins competed this past weekend and finished third at the Roy Griak Invitational as Garrett Reynolds and Robert Brandt placed second and third overall, respectively.
Kyle Rankin, author of Knoppix Hacks and a sysadmin, writes about a few of his Knoppix rescue stories.
As a battle-hardened sysadmin, I've seen a lot of broken systems (some I broke, and some were broken for me). I've carried a number of rescue disks, including tomsrtbt and the LinuxCare Bootable Business Card, but over the past year or two, I've started to rely completely on Knoppix as an all-in-one rescue disk. Below are some real-life accounts of how I've saved some broken systems with just my Knoppix CD.
Looks like I need to go pick up a copy of Knoppix Hacks for myself. I haven't played with Knoppix recently, but I did used it to get data off NTFS formatted hard-drive by booting up Knoppix and running the included ssh daemon. Very slick.

Before Sophie Slater lived in a housing co-operative, her homes, across south London, were precarious. There was the illegal house share in New Cross where she slept under a dodgy boiler for six months. (Eventually the gas man snitched and they had to move out, which was probably for the best, on account of the potential for carbon monoxide poisoning.) There was the flat on the Old Kent Road where she paid £300 to sleep in the living room and her friend, who had the bedroom, paid £600. The worst thing about that flat was that Slater slept by the kitchen bin.

More than 26,000 Kentucky businesses, employing more than 300,000 people, are owned by baby boomers, many of whom have not identified the next generation of ownership and could be at risk of closing their businesses when they retire. Transitioning to a worker-owned cooperative or another form of employee ownership could keep these businesses thriving and locally owned.

Kathleen, Marchioness of Hartington. Public Domain/U.S. Govt. photo.
On this day in 1948, Kathleen Cavendish, Marchioness of Hartington, the second daughter of Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., sister of U.S. President John F. Kennedy and widow of the heir to the Devonshire dukedom, died in a plane crash en route to secure her father's blessings on her second marriage. She was born on February 20, 1920, and was only 28 at the time of her death.
When President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed JFK's father Joseph Kennedy ambassador to the Court of St. James, his daughter Kathleen spent a year and a half living in London. She was educated in London at Queen's College.
Beautiful and spirited, she was named the "most exciting debutante of 1938." In 1943 she returned to England to work in a center for servicemen set up by the Red Cross.
Despite the opposition of her intensely Catholic mother, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, Kathleen Kennedy, known to friends as "Kick", married William John Robert Cavendish, Marquess of Hartington, a Protestant and the eldest son and heir of the 10th Duke of Devonshire on May 6, 1944.
Other than her eldest brother Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. who died in a plane crash three months after the wedding, no one from the Kennedy family attended the marriage ceremony. Her husband was killed in action only four months later in World War II, and his younger brother Andrew Cavendish, married to Deborah Mitford, became the heir to the dukedom. See the newspaper report of her death on right.
Popular on the London social circuit and admired by many for her high spirits - though more traditional members of British society found fault with her boisterousness - the dashing young widow eventually became the mistress of Peter Wentworth-FitzWilliam, 8th Earl FitzWilliam. The couple planned to wed after Fitzwilliam's planned divorce. Instead, while on a trip to visit Joseph Kennedy Sr. and gain his blessing for their relationship, Lord Fitzwilliam and Lady Hartington died in an airplane crash in Saint-Bauzile, Ardèche, France.
Only her father represented the Kennedy family at her funeral. Her mother, Rose, declined to attend supposedly because of Kathleen's intention to marry outside the Catholic Church a second time.
It is also said that Rose Kennedy also discouraged Kathleen's siblings from attending for the same reason. Rose apparently forgave Kathleen not long thereafter, and in 1951, she was reportedly delighted that her first grandchild, Robert F. Kennedy's daughter, Kathleen Hartington Kennedy, was named after her late daughter. However, the family requested that the child not be nicknamed Kick.
The Marchioness of Hartington is buried in the Cavendish family plot at Saint Peter's Church, Edensor, near Chatsworth in Derbyshire, England. Among the wreaths that covered her coffin was one with a handwritten note from Sir Winston Churchill. The gymnasium at Manhattanville College is named in her honor.
On this day in 2005 the U.S. Department of Defense changed its mind about base closings, and that was the end of Otis NG as an air base.
The largest New England facilities saved by the Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC) were the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, in Maine, and the Naval Submarine Base New London, in Connecticut -- each with thousands of jobs. Then, on its last day of deliberations, the BRAC unexpectedly reversed the Defense Department's proposed expansion of Hanscom Air Force Base, outside Boston, and voted to close Otis Air National Guard Base, on Cape Cod, with plans to send its fighter jets to Barnes Air National Guard Base, in Greater Springfield.
Otis was later removed from the list on August 26, 2005, although the jets were still transferred to Barnes.

French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday urged world leaders to reject "the law of the most powerful," offering a rebuke to Donald Trump's go-it-alone approach to global challenges.
Macron did not refer to the US president by name but his address to the UN General Assembly outlined positions that were polar opposites to Trump's world view.
"Some have chosen the law of the most powerful, but it cannot protect any people," said Macron, who reaffirmed his strong backing for multilateralism embodied by the United Nations and its global peace efforts.
Earlier at the UN podium, Trump vowed to "never surrender America's sovereignty to an unelected, unaccountable global bureaucracy" and to reject "the ideology of globalism."
Since Trump took office in 2017, the United States has ditched the Iran nuclear deal and the Paris climate deal -- two international accords that France has championed.
The US administration has cut funding to the United Nations, aid agencies and to UN peacekeeping whose missions in Mali and the Central African Republic are working with French troops to bolster stability.
Macron pointed to growing economic inequality as one of the drivers of the crisis in the world order, with some 783 million people living under the threshold of poverty and 250 million children out of school.
Touching on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the French president said there was no credible alternative to the two-state solution that Trump has imperiled with his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Macron also touched on climate change and migration as global issues that "no one can tackle" on their own.
There was even a warning that trade agreements could be contingent on membership in the Paris climate pact, in a clear bid to pressure the United States to rethink its intention to quit the accord.
Defending the Iran nuclear deal, Macron urged dialogue with Tehran, again clashing with the US president who a few hours earlier called on world governments to isolate Iran.
"What will bring a real solution to the situation in Iran and what has already stabilized it? The law of the strongest? Pressure from only one side? No!" Macron said in his address.
"We know that Iran was on a nuclear military path but what stopped it? The 2015 Vienna accord."
Trump in May withdrew from the seven-nation agreement negotiated under his predecessor Barack Obama, calling it a "disaster" and instead ramping up pressure on Iran including through renewed sanctions.
Supported by Israel and Saudi Arabia, Trump has sought to roll back Iranian influence around the Middle East, including in war-ravaged Syria.
"We should not aggravate regional tensions but rather through dialogue and multilateralism pursue a broader agenda that allows us to address all the concerns caused by Iranian policies -- nuclear, ballistic, regional," said Macron.
Speaking at a press conference, Macron said Iran should be able to sell oil to bring down prices, challenging Trump's plan to tighten an economic vise around Iran.
"It would be good for the price of oil for Iran to be able to sell it. It's good for peace and it's good for the shape of the international price of oil," said Macron.
France and other European powers are setting up a way to allow businesses to keep doing business in Iran in hopes of avoiding sanctions by the United States.
