Carly Paoli shortlisted for Classic BRIT Awards' Sound of Classical poll
The winner will collect the award in person during the Classic BRIT Awards ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall in London, to be broadcast on ITV. Speaking about the news Carly said " I had to pinch myself when I found out that I was nominated for a Brit Award and I've been thanking the Lord ever since I received this incredible and completely joyous news.
from Aerosmith News https://ift.tt/2sqM7Qk
Wikipedia says: Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as "the Bad Boys from Boston"[6] and "America's Greatest Rock and Roll Band."[7][8][9][10] Their style, which is rooted in blues-based hard rock,[11][12] has come to also incorporate elements of pop,[13] heavy metal,[11] and rhythm and blues,[14] and has inspired many subsequent rock artists.[15] The band was formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1970.[5] Guitarist Joe Perry and bassist Tom Hamilton, originally in a band together called the Jam Band, met up with vocalist/pianist/harmonicist Steven Tyler, drummer Joey Kramer, and guitarist Ray Tabano, and formed Aerosmith. In 1971, Tabano was replaced by Brad Whitford, and the band began developing a following in Boston. They were signed to Columbia Records in 1972, and released a string of gold and platinum albums, beginning with their 1973 eponymous debut album, followed by Get Your Wings in 1974.[16] In 1975, the band broke into the mainstream with the album Toys in the Attic, and their 1976 follow-up Rocks cemented their status as hard rock superstars.[17] Two additional albums followed in 1977 and 1979. Their first five albums have since attained multi-platinum status. Throughout the 1970s, the band toured extensively and charted a dozen Hot 100 singles. By the end of the decade, they were among the most popular hard rock bands in the world and developed a loyal following of fans, often referred to as the "Blue Army".[18] However, drug addiction and internal conflict took their toll on the band, which led to the departures of Perry and Whitford in 1979 and 1981, respectively; they were replaced by Jimmy Crespo and Rick Dufay.[12] The band did not fare well between 1980 and 1984, releasing the album Rock in a Hard Place, which was certified gold but failed to match their previous successes. Perry and Whitford returned to Aerosmith in 1984 and the band signed a new deal with Geffen Records. After a comeback tour, the band recorded Done with Mirrors (1985), which won some critical praise but failed to come close to commercial expectations. It was not until the band's collaboration with rap group Run–D.M.C. in 1986, and the 1987 multi-platinum release Permanent Vacation, that they regained the level of popularity they had experienced in the 1970s.[19] In the late 1980s and 1990s, the band scored several hits and won numerous awards for music from the multi-platinum albums Pump (1989), Get a Grip (1993), and Nine Lives (1997), and embarked on their most extensive concert tours to date. The band also became a pop culture phenomenon with popular music videos and notable appearances in television, film, and video games. Their comeback has been described as one of the most remarkable and spectacular in rock 'n' roll history.[11][12] Additional albums followed in 2001, 2004, and 2012. Since 2001, the band has toured every year except 2008. After 46 years of performing, the band continues to tour and record music.

Family physicians and other primary care advocates recently went to bat for primary care on Capitol Hill, testifying before a Senate subcommittee about the key importance of funding education and training initiatives that will provide the physicians the nation needs and deserves.
At an April 9 hearing(www.help.senate.gov) of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions' Subcommittee on Primary Health and Aging, physicians and health care administrators discussed how the nation's health care needs are tied to creating incentives -- and mitigating disincentives -- for medical students to enter primary care.
Joseph Nichols, M.D., a family medicine resident at MedStar Franklin Square Family Health Center in Baltimore, detailed his career path and how he made the choice to become a primary care physician. Diagnosed as having acute lymphoblastic leukemia at age 3, Nichols initially dreamed of becoming a pediatric oncologist, That is, until a conversation with his mentor -- a pioneer in pediatric oncology -- convinced him otherwise.
"This wise physician, whose life's work saved my life, encouraged me not to follow in his footsteps, but instead to go where the need was now greatest ... To him, the need was now greatest for primary care physicians," Nichols testified.
"Primary care is something needed and deserved by everyone, and yet it has a constituency of no one," he told the senators. "Nobody raises her hand and says, 'I have primary care disease.'"
Story highlights
- During recent testimony before a Senate subcommittee, one family medicine resident said his medical school colleagues chose other specialties because of their school debt.
- Teaching health centers are a focal point of primary care training, said one residency director, but they need continued federal funding.
- Medical students say they are interested in primary care, another speaker testified, but the disincentives too often outweigh the field's positive aspects.
His own choice notwithstanding, Nichols said he can understand why many of his medical school colleagues chose more lucrative medical specialties. "Even at the least expensive private medical school in the country, many medical students abandon plans of becoming primary care doctors because of student loan debt," he testified.
Another factor discouraging medical students from choosing a career in primary care, according to Nichols, is that although the primary care facilities where many of these students train lack adequate resources, they are often charged with caring for patients with the greatest medical needs. The frustration imposed by this combination of limited resources and high patient demands has deterred many from entering the primary care field.
Nichols recalled that while attending medical school at Baylor University, the school's dean of students encouraged and praised those who chose primary care, telling them, "You are the real doctors." Yet as pleased as he was to hear this affirmation, said Nichols, it was unfortunate that this recognition came only after he had declared his specialty choice rather than at the beginning of his studies.
Also testifying during the hearing was Deborah Edberg, M.D., program director for the family medicine residency at the Erie Family Center in Chicago, who spoke in support of continuing funding for the Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) program established as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The program launched in fiscal year 2011 and is funded only through FY 2015.
The program supports 36 teaching health centers nationally, which train about 300 residents. Noting that teaching health centers are the only facilities in the country that receive funding specifically to train primary care physicians in a community setting, Edberg told hearing participants that residents trained in these centers are three times more likely to remain in primary care. The centers help address the shortage of primary care physicians overall while treating medically underserved populations, she said.
Still, "despite the promise and scope of community health centers and the urgent need for more primary care providers, we face a significant challenge in recruiting the number of qualified primary care physicians necessary to meet demand," said Edberg.
Because funding is set to expire next year, Edberg said her residency program, which offers eight residency positions, must decide whether to accept students who will not be guaranteed funding for their entire three-year tenure.
Notably, Sen. Bernard Sanders (I-Vt.), who chairs the subcommittee, recently introduced legislation that would reauthorize the THCGME program and provide the necessary financial support.
According to family physician Allen Dobson Jr., M.D., president and CEO of Community Care of North Carolina, his state is a model in many ways for addressing primary care needs among its population. Over 90 percent of primary care physicians participate in Medicaid, he testified during the hearing, and reimbursement rates in North Carolina are higher than those in surrounding states. Medicaid growth has remained largely steady in recent years, Dobson said, unlike in many states where it has skyrocketed.
Yet North Carolina faces a shortage of primary care physicians because only a small percentage of its medical school graduates choose the field.
Dobson said he spoke with residents and medical students in North Carolina about their future in medicine. Many of them said that instead of working at a medical center when they finished their residency, they would choose to be a primary care physician in a small town -- if they did not have to worry about medical school debt or income.
"The problem is we don't have an infrastructure to support those choices," he said. "We need to train (residents) where they are going to practice and in the style that they are going to practice."

Story highlights
- Arab reality TV is bridging gaps between genders, sects and nations, experts say
- Votes may not always count in some Arab nations, but votes on reality shows do
- Demographic for shows reflects faces of young people behind Arab Spring
- Iraqi reality show changed young woman's life; Qatar science show defies stats
This is the true story of seven strangers, picked to live in a house, work together and have their lives taped to find out what happens when Sunnis and Shias, Christians and Jews, boys and girls, 20-somethings from across the Arab world, stop hating each other and learn how to get along.
That might be the opening for an Arab version of "The Real World." The MTV show, which debuted in 1992, was considered a groundbreaking social experiment. Its creators bet that if young people from vastly different backgrounds lived together, they would eventually -- through fits and fights and hugs -- find common ground. And by watching, the show's audience might, too.
While reality programming now dominates Western entertainment, "The Real World" remains a pioneering blueprint for a burgeoning reality show market in the Middle East and North Africa. Thanks to the region's proliferation of satellite television and its embrace of social media, more and more reality shows are appearing on air.
Some shows, like "Arab Idol," are imitations of Western franchises. Other productions are unique to Arab culture. "Million's Poet," for example, is a kind of "Def Poetry Jam" meets "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" where young people compete for cash to see who is the most talented poet performing traditional Arabic verse. In its first season, the show reportedly got higher ratings than the United Arab Emirates' national sport, soccer.
"Reality shows in the Arab world are a very big deal because they're showing real people are worthy of star attention that maybe only a political or religious leader might get," said Joe Khalil, a visiting assistant professor of communication at Northwestern University in Qatar. "Reality has nothing to do with a state-controlled message."
Khalil says the reality show audience is the same demographic represented in the Arab Spring uprisings.
"This is a demographic that has long been ignored, and reality show producers want that market," he said. "The shows are trying to say to this young and vibrant group who wants to learn, wants to be entertained: 'This is you. This is your culture. These are your values and your decisions. Make them count.' "
Reality as WMD?
Khalil has chronicled Arab reality television since the early 2000s when the reality revolution was stoked by the Lebanese Broadcasting Corp.'s airing of a beauty pageant in real time.
"'Miss Lebanon' allowed viewers to watch nonfamous people -- and women, which was controversial -- say whatever they wanted without obvious prompt," he said. "It was light entertainment, but it was a totally new way to approach television."
Reality shows have come a long way since then. Nearly all have tried to push boundaries involving religion, gender, politics and war. Many are hybrids of Western shows and Arab culture and current affairs. For example, an Iraqi version of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" reportedly rebuilt houses destroyed during the war. "Green Light," produced in Dubai, aimed to highlight Islamic values by featuring young Arabs attempting to do good deeds with no money and a limited amount of time.
Another show, seemingly styled after America's "The Bachelorette," is considered the first reality show drama in the Arab world. It was especially controversial because it featured women making their own decisions about marriage rather than accepting arranged marriage. "Ala al-Hawa Sawa," loosely translated as "Us on the Air," showed women living together in a villa and meeting young men who dropped by to speak with them, Khalil said. The show ended when one of the final contestants shocked the audience by refusing to get married.
The fact that some reality shows even manage to stay on the air for more than one season -- sometimes more than a few episodes -- is a feat. The genre has powerful critics. Influential Islamist leaders have denounced reality shows for poisoning the purity of Islam by mixing genders, allowing young people to speak ahead of their elders and other perceived violations of religious code. Sheikh Abd al-Rahman al-Sudais, imam of the Grand Mosque of Mecca, has reportedly called the shows "weapons of mass destruction that kill values and virtue."
The real Iraq
Hussam Hadi has a good laugh when he thinks about reality shows as WMD. The 34-year-old Iraqi worked in children's television before the Iraq war, a conflict that upended his life. He moved to Jordan briefly and returned to Iraq only to be kidnapped, he said. When he was freed, he left Iraq again and moved to Jordan to work for Spacetoon, a free-to-air animated series and channel in the Middle East.
But Hadi was again drawn back to Iraq when he heard about a show called "Salam Shabab." Translated as "Peace Youth," the reality series is filmed in Kurdistan and stars teenagers from across Iraq, many from families who belong to warring sects. The show requires that boys and girls work together on competing teams to tackle increasingly harder physical and academic challenges. Winners get trophies and video cameras, and they become "Peace Ambassadors" with a chance to speak and meet with Iraqi parliament members.
Created by Iraqis with financial backing from Americans, the show debuted in 2010.
Hadi has two young sons who live in Jordan. Being part of the show has helped him focus on being a better, more engaged father, he said.
"I watch the teenagers on "Salam," and I know how they've been forced to grow up fast, to deal with terrible things that we should shield children from," Hadi said. "For the girls, it is especially hard because they are taught not to have faith in themselves simply because they're girls. To watch them -- this whole generation, really -- trust their future again is beyond anything I would want to accomplish working in television."
Mishmish, a 21-year-old from Baghdad, starred on "Salam" in her late teens when a community leader encouraged her to participate. The war was in full swing, and she hesitated. It was difficult to imagine anything outside the daily violence.
"Now I have better ideas in my head than that time. I feel happier," she said.
The experience also gave her the confidence to work with men.
"I didn't know how to act around boys back then," she said. "But we're all friends now, and I don't really think very much about whether someone is a boy or a girl. I just think they're human."
Mishmish still lives in Iraq. At her request, her last name has been omitted to protect her security. She sees a less violent future for her country and is taking classes at an art academy while working a part-time job in media. She and all her friends love reality shows. They love watching shows that allow viewers to text their votes to determine winners.
"It's democracy in action," said Khalil, the Qatar professor. "In some countries, votes don't count in real life. But on reality shows, they do. Call it a negative or positive, we've seen richer nations trying to outvote poorer ones."
Nations outvoting each other
That appears to have happened on the Arab remake of "American Idol." Several seasons ago, a Jordanian girl made the finals. She was competing against two young men -- one from Syria, the other from Lebanon. When cameras panned the audience in the final episodes, fans were frantically waving their nations' flags. Patriotic messages appeared on a live ticker during the show. The singing competition had become about international rivalries, some critics wrote.
As the finale approached, King Abdullah of Jordan asked everyone in the nation to text their vote for the Jordanian, and, Khalil said, he promised that the government would pick up the tab. The girl won, and she was welcomed home as a hero.
"You could consider the good in that situation -- a young person, a girl, is revered in her country," Khalil said. "The bad is this possibility that reality shows could foster resentment and anger among nations."
It wasn't the first controversy for the show. Shortly after producers announced the name of the series, they launched a region-wide campaign to assure viewers that "Idol" shouldn't be understood as "idolatry," Khalil said, and therefore wasn't in conflict with the Quran.
"Big Brother's" big upset
Dodging religious sensitivities is just part of the reality show game, said Leila Mroueh, a producer who cut her teeth in the industry on Bahrain's 2003 version of "Big Brother."
"Al-Ra'is" ("The Boss") put 12 housemates -- six men and six women -- in a house in the Amwaj Islands in Bahrain. "We had a Christian who was observing Lent and cooking the same thing for many days," Mroueh recalled. "Another cast member didn't understand what that meant. So they had a discussion -- a talk that would never happen normally outside of this show. It was a simple moment but the kind of magic we were going for."
The show's creators tried to avoid upsetting their conservative audience. They separated the men and women, installed a prayer room and had a daily call to prayer. But it wasn't enough. Throngs of protesters hit the streets, angrily denouncing the show. Some opponents said the show was part of an American strategy to take over the Middle East by infiltrating the hearts and minds of Arab youths.
"Al-Ra'is" was canceled after just a few episodes.
Reality invents new image
The experience was so dejecting, Mroueh left the television industry for a few years. She returned when she heard about a new show that was about to start shooting in Qatar called "Stars of Science." The show was backed by the private, nonprofit Qatar Foundation. It seemed that "Stars of Science" could serve some social good in the region, Mroueh said.
The show pits 16 young innovators, from Tunisia to Kuwait, against each other to create inventions that have to do with technology, design and engineering. The winner and other top finishers share $600,000 in cash prizes and get a shot at a commercial launch of their products. Contestants also get the priceless satisfaction of showing that despite reports about young Arabs leaving the region for tech opportunities elsewhere, there are plenty of them who are capable of competing in the global tech market and want to innovate at home.
Featured inventions include multitasking robots, touch-sensitive plastic stickers that turn any surface into a digital interface and a wearable heart monitor that can predict a heart attack. SOS, as it's popularly known, is currently producing its fourth season which is expected to air in September.
Wahiba Chair, whose family is Algerian, starred on the first season in 2008. She won by designing a phone application -- before apps were common -- geared toward the health-conscious. Her app allows users to scan bar codes on foods and get a response on their phone indicating whether the food is a good or bad choice, according to the user's programmed health profile.
"There's no other opportunity that has shown me more about myself than the show," she said. "At first, I wondered if people would be interested in watching a bunch of geeks in a lab. But I was immediately humbled by the amount of talent on the show, and we were all determined to do our best work.
"It was like suddenly, we had permission to innovate according to our passion by people who actually wanted to hear about our ideas."
Chair said she became friends with another contestant, a woman from Bahrain. They're still close.
"If we had judged each other on our backgrounds, we wouldn't be an obvious pair," she said. "But we came to know each other as people, as friends, as women. To me, there's nothing more meaningful and real than that."

Short description
Cut the line Louvre tickets with special door entrance.
Type of passes
- Adult
- Access to museums in Paris is free if under 18
That's the kind of ticket that can save your day! You will enter Le Louvre using a priority door without avoiding security check of course. Ticket valid for the day at Louvre Museum and also at Eugene Delacroix museum. Ticket valid for permanent collections. Kids can enter with you and cut the lines with parents. This ticket is available for sale at https://www.justring.com (Orsay museum ticket available there too).
Tip: Louvre museum offer free access to all the first Sunday of each month. You do not want to try this, the line is huge and is not worth it. Avoid those days, there's no deal but just a waste of time.
Perfect choice for short stays in the city. Paris museums pass is useless since valid for a minimum period of 2 days granting access to 50 museums/monuments, this is a joke. If you're staying one or two days then you better buy individual tickets like this one.

Why do marketers have such a hard time understanding rejuveniles?
Long before social critics began fretting over "the death of the grown up," marketers were tracking focus group findings on the quickly shifting values, affinities and loyalties of adult consumers (remember the "retro brand" craze of 2001, which relaunched everything from Converse to Radio Flyer?).
Given this early jump and expertise, you'd expect campaigns aimed at rejuveniles to be knowing, or at least reasonably on-target. But the sad fact is that, with few exceptions, ads aimed at rejuveniles evoke cringes, eye rolls and heavy sighs in the very people they're designed to reach. A few manage to find a way to cleverly capture their fears and aspirations. But the vast majority fall horribly flat, either by regurgitating tired old clich's about childish adults or mistaking garden-variety nostalgia or rebellion for rejuvenile's complicated but ultimately hopeful natures.
Take the current ad for Oreos Candy Bites, which features a power-suited professional looking out the window of a cab at women blowing bubbles, jumping rope and playing hopscotch. Clearly responding to research showing more adults than ever gravitating toward a brand that has always been associated with kids, Oreo can think of nothing more to say than how wacky and unusual it is. Thus we get women playing hopscotch in heels in the Oreo ad, or worse, businessmen pogo-sticking and hula-hooping in Nestle Crunch's egregious ?For the Kid in You? campaign, which reduced the entire rejuvenile phenomenon down to bubbles and hopscotch.
This is just the sort of cluelessness that causes conniptions in rejuveniles. They may appear silly, but make no mistake: rejuveniles can't stand being pandered to. They hate seeing themselves represented as starry-eyed goofballs. Never mind that many of them — focus groups, many will admit that they felt goofy and starry-eyed the first time they wore a Cocoa Puffs cuckoo bird T-shirt or took a spin on their kid's tricycle. But the novelty has long since worn off. They're now either doing those things entirely unselfconsciously, in which case these ads seem hopelessly unhip, or they've moved on to another kid centric activity (like assembling Lego spacecraft, or collecting American Girl dolls).
The point is simple: aim at the starting point of a moving target and you'll miss every time. To keep pace with rejuveniles, you're better off ignoring surfaces and creating associations with shared values, like their need to stay playful in the face of adult responsibilities, or their impulse to buck the forces of conformity and routine, or their belief that adults are inventing a more flexible, open-ended version of maturity.

(Written Friday night) Last year, it snowed here the first week of December. Not only did that snow stick around, but we kept getting MORE snow, and it was well into January before I was able to get the frozen-down-and-snow-covered orange blobs off my porch. And we had plenty more snow after that! This year, we've scarcely seen a flake, and we've not yet had any measurable snow. I keep hearing that we're in the area predicted to have a white Christmas, but I'm not seeing it. (Update Saturday) Um, it snowed today. Not really much at all, but the ground is still covered. I doubt it'll hang around until Saturday but it was nice to see.
So, let's let's dig out this snowbank of links. (heh.)
This ought to go under Pray & Ponder, but oh, friends, if you only click through to one link in this roundup, make it this one: Seeing Past What It Seems at Brave Girls Club. I can't even come up with a description to do it justice. Go read.
Very cute and recycling something that would otherwise be tossed, check out these Homemade Christmas Gift Tags at Skip to My Lou.
These Nativity Blocks at Helping Little Hands are adorable, and very small child friendly.
Gluesticks shows us her family's Favorite Nativity Set. I checked out Oriental Trading to see if they still sold it and couldn't find it. I bet it's out there somewhere, though.
Also kid friendly is this Clay Pot Nativity at Kids on the Grand.
There are frequently deals at Money Saving Mom on photo books, which I've pretty much ignored because I am not really into that. However, Saving & Giving has a great post on Five Educational Uses for All Those Photo Book Deals that sound like a lot of fun, especially for little ones.
I've never seen anything like these Discovery Bottles for very little ones, at No Time For Flash Cards. I'm tempted to give it a try with Goose anyway.
This Repurposing Long Sleeved Tee into Ruffled Dress at Make It and Love It is very cute!
Lots of Diaper Sewing Tips over at Sew, Mama, Sew.
I've been obsessively checking back for a tutorial for this amazingly cute Barnyard Bag playset, though thanks to the pictures, I think I might be able to figure it out. (@ The Crafty Cupboard)
Thanks to Christy for directing me to this Pillow Buddy Tutorial at Twelve Crafts Till Christmas, and I'm still snickering over her likening hers to roadkill. (You did a great job, though, Christy!)
It's probably been mentioned here before that I'm a fan of taffy, and this Homemade Molasses Taffy from Frugal Antics of a Harried Homemaker sounds yummy.
Can't say that I've ever even tried Brussels sprouts, but these "Crunchy Creamy Vegetable Balls" at Gluten Free A-Z sound ... well, interesting, anyway.
Green Bean Casserole with Homemade Crispy Shoestring Onions - including homemade mushroom gravy! - at Kelly The Kitchen Kop. Because who doesn't love green bean casserole?
Continuing the healthy theme, I know three people in this house that would love Healthy Homemade Poptarts as found at Heavenly Homemakers.
I think this Homemade Apple Cider from gimmie some oven sounds delicious and like something I could do.
Surely it's a coincidence, but I just happen to have some apples in my fridge that would pair perfectly with this Homemade Honey Caramel Apple Dip or Ice Cream Topping at Kelly The Kitchen Kop. Unfortunately the dip would not pair well with my hips...
I haven't tried it yet, but I'm interested in this post on How to Make Cultured Butter and Buttermilk from riddlelove.
Thanks to my friend Sarah at heartland Renaissance for pointing me toward these 3 Tasty Drinks to Warm Kiddos' Bones.
A fun twist on "puppy chow" is Poppy Chow, as seen at The Pioneer Woman's Tasty Kitchen Blog.
Simple but stunning is the way I'd describe these Hole Punch Snowflakes at No Time For Flash Cards.
This post is being typed around my sweet calico that is between me and the keyboard, so it feels especially fitting to include this Pet Hair Cleanup Tips and Tricks post from Tipnut.
I love stuff like these Simple Sick Solutions by Katie at Kitchen Stewardship (though some are in an article on another site, they're worth the extra click) - most or all of them include things you likely already have on hand.
Especially for my sweet cousin with a baby brewin' in her belly, here are 250 Positive Birth Stories from Pregnancy, Birth and Babies. As I neared the end of my pregnancy with Goose, I loved to read birth stories and felt that it really helped me prepare, at least mentally.
At Praying for Grace, Barbara gives us The Million Dollar Answer as to why Catholics get to Jesus through Mary.
Happy clicking!

New Mexico Universities Sign National Voluntary System of Accountability Agreement, Aug. 5, 2008
Council of University Presidents, New Mexico Higher Education Department Coordinate Effort to Highlight Accountability in College/University Administration
by Thomas Guengerich
SANTA FE, N.M., Aug. 5, 2008 -- The New Mexico Council of University Presidents recently adopted a national accountability standard for higher education in the state.
New Mexico is the first state in the nation in which all of the independent four-year colleges and universities have joined the Voluntary System of Accountability (VSA), a national initiative that helps make reporting data from colleges and universities more meaningful to students and their parents.
Dr. Daniel H. López, chairman of the Council, announced Monday, July 28, at the group's annual retreat that New Mexico universities are taking an important step towards greater transparency and accountability.
"As state-supported institutions, we all have a responsibility to demonstrate that our universities are offering value-added services to our students, to the state of New Mexico and to the nation," Dr. López said. "This new initiative gives us the tools to quantify our efforts, identify our strengths and weaknesses and develop long-range plans for improvement."
Consideration of the initiative was first proposed by the New Mexico Higher Education Department. It was developed by two national organizations – the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges (NASULGC) and the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) – as a means to measure and improve learning outcomes, cost studies and graduation rates and to solidify the public's trust in public institutions. Ultimately, the goal is to provide schools with assessment tools and a framework for improved service to students.
The New Mexico Higher Education Department and university presidents collaborated with the national organizations to adopt the initiative. The New Mexico Higher Education Department hosted a meeting at which George L. Mehaffy, AASCU Vice President for Academic Leadership and Change, spoke about the effort.
"The Voluntary System of Accountability is a flexible and innovative approach to institutional accountability that will give both potential students and the public at large valuable information about how our colleges and universities are doing," said New Mexico Cabinet Secretary of Higher Education Reed Dasenbrock, Ph.D. "I believe that the information collected through the VSA will help institutions improve their performance, will help students and their parents make better decisions about college, and will help all of us understand what we are getting for our money. I congratulate the presidents of the institutions for their leadership on this issue."
The Council of University Presidents includes the leaders from the seven four-year schools in the state – Eastern New Mexico, New Mexico Highlands, New Mexico State, New Mexico Tech, the University of New Mexico, Northern New Mexico College and Western New Mexico.
"We are public institutions that serve the public good," said George Mehaffy, vice president of the AASCU. "We need to examine cost, effectiveness, engagement and learning outcomes. The Voluntary System of Accountability has a starkly elegant design that lays out concerns and challenges and addresses how we as higher education professionals will respond."
The most important focus of a fully-functional system of accountability is to focus on student learning and engagement, said Mehaffy, who was formerly a vice president at Eastern New Mexico University. The ideal outcome is to help faculty focus on learning outcomes.
From the financial perspective, the newly-adopted system will also allow universities to correlate funding and education.
"As the cost of higher education goes up, the questions about our effectiveness rise sharply," Mehaffy said. "The Voluntary System of Accountability provides justification to policymakers and the public."
Colleges or universities that participate in the VSA must share graduation data in a national clearinghouse that includes data on transfer students. Being able to track inter-institutional transfers will better inform New Mexico's colleges and universities about how students progress, Dasenbrock said.
Another benefit is that the national system provides a framework for comparing how the higher education system in New Mexico compares to other states. In addition, member institutions use one of a range of possible assessment tools to report on student learning outcomes. The end result of the new program is to provide schools with information-gathering and data analysis tools, coupled with a framework and process for continuous improvement.
The two organizations collaborated for nearly two years to devise the final 13-page document that is the VSA. Combined membership is 525 colleges and universities and already 51 percent of those schools have agreed to participate in the voluntary program.
The national organizations are not currently charging any fees for participation in the program, thanks to funding from the Lumina Foundation for Education.
Although the system does not at present include two-year institutions, discussions are under way about how to expand the VSA to include them.

MIDDLEBURY — What does a "downward dog" tunnel have to do with fighting hunger?
Plenty, if Otter Creek Yoga owner Joanna Colwell and one of her yoga students have anything to say about it.
Acting on a suggestion from Lila McVeigh, who has regularly practiced yoga with Colwell, Colwell is hosting a whimsical yoga class this week for pre-school-age children and their parents. While the class is free, she and McVeigh are suggesting parents bring a donation of $10 or non-perishable food items for the food shelf at the Helping Overcome Poverty's Effects (HOPE) agency on Boardman Street.
As it turns out, Colwell's yoga studio is one of several businesses chipping in to stock local food shelves this fall. And requiring a food donation for a food shelf is popular with other events, as well.
Across town, the Middlebury branch of the Chittenden Bank is participating in the company's Share the Bounty initiative. Their three-month-long food drive, which started last month, will also be contributing donations to a local food shelf.
Other businesses and events in the county supporting area food banks include:
• Screening of "The Fragrant Spirit of Life" documentary film. Organizers of the Dec. 2 event in Bristol said donations of canned food will be accepted.
• Hypnosis Works at 52 Liberty St. in Bristol. A group hypnosis session on Dec. 4 at 7 p.m. is free with a non-perishable food donation for the food shelf or a $3 donation to Heifer International.
• The Cool Yule kick-off event in Bristol on Dec. 5. The lighting of the bandstand and memory tree on the town green, which will also feature seasonal songs by school choruses, will include a food collection for Bristol's food bank.

MIDDLEBURY — Vermont Soapworks officials hope to move the growing business from its current Exchange Street headquarters to a building on Industrial Avenue that will double the company's production space and allow it to potentially double its workforce during the next two years.
Vermont Soapworks President Larry Plesent launched the manufacturing company in 1992 in a 1,700-square-foot farmhouse in Brandon. A steady increase in business prompted Plesent to look for larger accommodations, which he found in 1996 in the Neri business incubator building at 616 Exchange St. Vermont Soapworks initially occupied around 2,500 square feet in the 31,000-square-foot structure, but has gobbled up additional space during recent years as production demands have grown. The company now occupies 10,000 square feet of production space and 1,000 square feet of retail space in the Neri building.
But once again, Vermont Soapworks finds itself at an enviable crossroads. Now producing hundreds of soap-related products that it markets to thousands of firms, stores and lodgers in 43 countries, the company has been growing at a rate of 25 percent per year. It again needs more room.
"Now we have totally outgrown our space here," Plesent said, watching some of his 26 workers trim bars from large soap blocks, pack products into huge boxes and tend to the small store that offers locals and tourists a sample of Vermont Soapworks' wares.

VERGENNES — The latest director of the Northlands Job Corps center in Vergennes plans to improve students' experience and academic achievement at the MacDonough Drive campus through better discipline, and to tackle a long-standing issue for the federal job-training program: recruiting more Vermonters.
After taking over this past summer, Tony Staynings, 55, first had to deal with a hospital stay for health problems, and now he is back on track in his mission of improving the center for his employer, the Kentucky firm Rescare Corp.
Staynings said his top focuses are improving employment prospects and job skills for the center's roughly 230 economically disadvantaged students from around New England.
The son of a British Army sergeant major, Staynings is an accomplished long-distance runner who competed in two Olympics and described himself as "like a drill instructor with a sense of humor."
"I like to have fun. I want the students to have fun," he said. "I want the kids to know that education should be and can be a fun experience for them. But I also make it very clear there are rules. You have to be responsible and accountable for what you do."
As well as longstanding prohibitions on drugs, alcohol and violent behavior, rules now include requiring passes to wander the campus during daytime classroom hours and banning "public displays of affection," which Staynings said are not acceptable in the workplace, and therefore not at Northlands.
"We're training these folks to be ready for the workplace, (teaching) what we call employability skills, social skills," he said.

The Importance of a Strong, Independent Legal and Regulatory Framework for Security
The regulatory body should implement the legislative and regulatory framework and have adequate authority, competence, and financial and human resources. If the regulatory authority is not responsible, or only partially responsible for security, governmental entities which are authorized to secure nuclear and radiological materials and associated facilities should likewise have adequate authority, competence and financial and human resources. These governmental organizations should closely coordinate their activities to implement the national security framework. This session will explore criteria for a strong national security framework.
Design Basis Threat/Threat Assessment
In developing a design basis threat, a comprehensive regulatory framework for security takes into account both national and international threats (physical and cyber), and constantly evolving adversary tactics and capabilities. This session will describe how various regulators approach the development and implementation of the design basis threat, coordination with other organizations, and address the challenges associated with a dynamic threat environment.
Information Protection/ Confidentiality
National programs for protection of classified and sensitive information for the physical protection and safeguarding of nuclear materials or facilities require that such information is protected against unauthorized disclosure. This session discusses the methodologies associated with information protection.
Personnel Trustworthiness and Reliability
Access to nuclear facilities by workers requires an assurance that the worker is trustworthy and reliable. This session discusses current processes and enhancements to behavioral observation programs by incorporating indicators of unusual behavior for individuals who have been granted access to nuclear facilities.
Safety and Security Interface
The interface of safety and security programs at facilities with nuclear and radioactive materials requires ongoing evaluation. Management and assessment of the potential conflicts between security activities and other facility activities that could compromise either plant security or plant safety need regular review. This session discusses this relatively new area of regulation and how it is progressing.
Inspection Program
The composition of a sound regulatory body or other national authority with security responsibility includes oversight of regulatory requirements through inspection, assessment of performance, and enforcement. This session discusses inspection and assessment methodologies.
Response to Security Events
Security programs are developed to address events arising from daily security practices to peaceful demonstrations, to force-on-force assaults. This session discusses how national programs have prepared for, or responded to, the continuum of security events faced by nuclear facilities or events associated with radioactive materials.
International Physical Protection Advisory Service
The International Atomic Energy Agency's International Physical Protection Advisory Service (IPPAS) provides advice to Member States to assist them in strengthening the effectiveness of their national physical protection system while recognizing that the ultimate responsibility for physical protection is that of the Member State. This session will discuss the IPPAS program and how it is being implemented.
Source Security
The ineffective, interrupted or sporadic regulatory or management control of radioactive sources has led to serious accidents, malicious acts, and the existence of orphaned sources. Aware that the risks arising from such incidents must be minimized and protected against, this session will discuss national best practices and lessons learned in the application of appropriate regulatory oversight and control.
Cyber Security
Digital computer and communications systems and networks must be adequately protected against cyber attacks. This session discusses the development of regulations and guidance, and the challenges of implementing a program to protect against the cyber threat.
Side Activities
In addition to main conference events, the conferees will be invited to participate in several side activities, including an incident response experience tour at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission headquarters, a performance evaluation demonstration breakout session, and technical poster and tabletop exercise presentations.
Performance Evaluation Demonstration Break-Out Sessions
As a part of the regulatory process, performance-based activities are carried out to understand protective strategies and make exercises as real as possible. Two of these activities involve conducting tabletop exercises and using Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement Systems (MILES). There will be a demonstration of how tabletop exercises are used by the NRC and its licensees to gain insights into protective strategies, identify strong points and possible weaknesses. There will also be a presentation and demonstration of the MILES equipment, including functional characteristics.
Incident Response Experience Tour
Photo ID is required. Attendees are invited to experience the inner workings of the NRC Operations Center, which serves as the focal point for coordinating the Federal response to safety and security events involving NRC-licensed reactor or materials facilities. This session will emphasize the Federal coordination process and the NRC's role in the Federal response. It will also address the roles and responsibilities of various teams that comprise the NRC response organization and the resources and tools that the NRC utilizes to assess the severity of the emergency and the NRC's communication protocols.
Technical Poster & Tabletop Presentations
Additional information will be available at a later date. If you register for the event, we will email you when the information is posted online.

In 1919, when eleven-year-old Elizabeth Hughes is diagnosed with juvenile diabetes, it is essentially a death sentence. The only accepted treatment—starvation—whittles her down to forty-five pounds of skin and bones. It is the discovery of insulin, by Canadian researchers Frederick Banting and Charles Best, that saves her life—and the lives of diabetics around the world.
Breakthrough details one of the most important scientific discoveries of our time, bringing to life those who made it happen and those whose lives were changed forever.

Army chief of staff Gen. Ray Odierno on Friday reiterated the Pentagon's warnings against the so-called "sequestration" mechanism triggering hundreds of billions of dollars in cuts to the defense budget if the super committee fails to agree on a plan to reduce the deficit by $1.2 trillion.
The Pentagon is already on the hook to cut $450 billion, but faces up to $600 billion more in reduction to its budget if the committee can't reach a deal. These cuts "would be devastating to the military," Odierno said on Fox News.
"The Army's about soldiers, and so what [sequestration] would result in is us significantly reducing the size of the Army, both the active and National Guard and Reserve component," Odierno said. "It would result in affecting our modernization, our ability to bring in weapons so we can have the dominant edge. And it would affect our readiness; if we were asked to deploy, we'd be ready as you've seen us do for the last 10 years."
Odierno also appeared on MSNBC's Morning Joe.
A day earlier, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta played the last -- and strongest -- card in his deck to warn against this sequestration mechanism, arguing that the mandatory cuts would directly imperil U.S. national security.

Why Our Politics Cannot Be Freed from Religion: The State as Transformed Church
Date: 8/17/2009; 58 minutes
The debate about the relationship of politics and religion in the United States is set on the wrong course, Ivan Strenski, distinguished professor of religious studies at UC Riverside, claims in this presentation. Professor Strenski follows the development of the theology of political leadership from Roman through Medieval to the present times to understand the sources of our dedication to republican constitutionalism.

Just a question
So, I'm sorry in advance if this has been covered somewhere but I don't even know how to go about finding it if it is. I'll make this as brief as I can.
So I'm relatively new to hacking in general. I've been doing it for a few years but very sporadically and now I'm really trying to get more involved in it. I am currently working on a starter project with fire red...now as for my issue.
So I want the player to have both parents in this game, the father sits in your house and greets and heals you like the mother would normally, while the mother is in the gym that she runs, which is attached to the house. What I want to accomplish is the mother being able to be the one to give the player their first pokemon and then just say encouraging things to them until the final gym, which would be hers, at which point she would be able to be challenged to a battle. Much like Norman is in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. I am somewhat familiar with basic scripting terms, I would imagine there would be extensive use of flags and such for this.
If anyone wouldn't mind either explaining a way to accomplish this or link me to something that DOES explain it I would be very grateful. Thanks! <3

If I were to do this, I would try using the scripts in RSE for both Mom and Norman as a kind of base/template, and edit them accordingly. If you are going to use those scripts as templates, be sure to change the flags/vars used in them because it will be different between these games (except basic things like "LASTRESULT", ect.).
Once the scripts were done, I'd then change/switch the sprites for them in A-Map and then edit the map elements necessary to create the gym.

8 comments:
I always am in charged of the cake too, we usually just make something small as usually the party is tiny,ReplyDelete
I really like the first one, maybe put chocolate or just use fondant.
I love a good sponge vanilla cake with a nice coffee too.
I'm saving up that smarty idea, my girl would LOVE it!ReplyDelete
Best of luck, I'm sure that no matter what you make it will be delicious!
Good luck with the cake making I'm sure your Dad will love it whatever it looks like when he knows you made it for him :)ReplyDelete
I LOVE that 2-0 cake, but it would take ages to put all the little Smarties or Raspberries or Jaffa lollies onto the 6-0 in such a neat pattern.ReplyDelete
I'm sure whatever cake you decide on will be lovely.
Good luck!
You are one talented woman (in my book) - to even be able to contemplate those!
Happy baking!

I saw your number cake on Instagramed and it was great. I love the giant Tim Tam cake too.ReplyDelete
A 60 cake would be perfect, there are only so many 'big deal' birthdays a number would be suitable for. That giant tim tam cake looks amazing though...ReplyDelete

'24' movie: Script still in flux for Jack Bauer's big-screen debut
Despite Kiefer Sutherland's enthusiasm for a "24" movie, which he told "Extra" yesterday would begin filming in eight months, the movie is still a project very much in development. Twentieth Century Fox has not yet greenlighted the film, though they are working actively on the project with producers Imagine Entertainment.
The true situation with the film, according to two people involved with the project, is that the studio is trying to hire another writer for an additional rewrite. Billy Ray ("State of Play") wrote the initial screenplay.
The movie, which would continue the storyline of Sutherland's rogue agent Jack Bauer, is a priority for both the studio and the producers. One source confirms that Sutherland did recently meet with a new high-profile writer that the studio could hire for the revisions--a reason why Sutherland's enthusiasm might be so great right now. But that writer has yet to be hired and there are a lot of steps that must be reached before Fox is ready to issue the green light.

Lancaster Super Speedway drivers are preparing their cars for the fourth annual King Of The Carolinas race at Carolina Speedway in Gastiona, N.C.
Lancaster drivers have held their own throughout the years at the KOC races and will be seeking to do the same this year. The Carolinas' best dirt track drives will come to the track known as "The Action Track," Oct. 13-15.
LSS honored the track's 2016 points champions Saturday night.
The SECA Crate Late Models titlist is Benji Knight, and the Montgomery Towing Super Stock winner is Johnny Starkey. The Deal 1 Auto Sales SECA Crate Sportsman top spot went to "Wild Bill" Knight. The Cauthen Motors Renegade winner was "Burn 'Em Down" Steve Hinson, The Vintage champ was Ron Geehring, and the M&M Garage Extreme 4 winner was Chris Hinson.
The annual Lancaster Super Speedway points championship awards night highlights LSS action Saturday night.
During intermission, the points championship trophies and various awards for the 2016 season will be presented to drivers.
The night also features a full racing program.
Divisions running will be SECA Crate Late Model, Montgomery Towing Super Stock, Deal 1 Auto Sales SECA Crate Sportsman, Cauthen Motors Renegade, U.S. Bonding Vintage and M&M Garage Extreme 4.
The Johnson family has been a fixture at Lancaster Super Speedway for years, so victory lane to the Johnson family comes natural. It did again Saturday night.
The Deal 1 Auto Sales SECA Crate Sportsman main event front row had Justin Fite and Jackson Thomasson.
As the 2016 Lancaster Super Speedway season winds to a close with only a handful of races left at the big half-mile track, LSS hosts its final points race Saturday.
Divisions running include the Montgomery Towing Super Stock, Deal 1 Auto Sales SECA Crate Sportsman, Cauthen Motors Renegades, U.S. Bonding Vintage and M&M Garage Extreme 4. The Montgomery Towing Super Stock and U.S. Bonding Vintage Division are the only divisions that can be decided on the points battle Saturday night.
Top five in LSS points:
Veteran driver Matthew Cauthen captured a landmark win in the wild and crazy Montgomery Towing Super Stock main event Saturday night at Lancaster Super Speedway,
Cauthen was on the front row with Stevie Totherow,
At the green flag, Totherow, Cauthen, Artie Brownell and Jason Gulledge battled for the lead entering turn one. Exiting turn two, Cauthen led, while the battle behind him was intense.
The race for second between Totherow, Brownell, Gulledge and Starkey had the fans cheering as the drivers beat and banged on each other.
Lancaster Super Speedway roars back to action with the SECA Crate Late Model Division returning to headline the action Saturday night.
The SECA Crate Late Models will be paying $1,000 to win.
This season has seen some of the best SECA Crate Late Model racing at LSS in years, with Timbo Mangum and Benji Knight leading the way with two wins apiece.
Other drivers who have won on the 2016 racing season are Steve Banal one, Chris Hargett one, Chris Steele one, Brandy Baker one and Pat Linsday one.
Last Saturday's races at Lancaster Motor Speedway included Montgomery Towing Super Stock, Deal 1 Auto Sales SECA Crate Sportsman, Cauthen Motors Renegades, M&M Garage Extreme 4 and U.S. Bonding Vintage.
Montgomery Towing Super Stock finishing order was Brandy Baker, Jason Gulledge, Joseph Engelbrecht, Elias Grant, Johnny Starkey, Andrew Winderl and Michael Stuart.
Jeff Smith captured an exciting win in the Carolina Clash to highlight racing action at Lancaster Super Speedway on Saturday night.
Johnny Pursley and Chris Ferguson were on the front row for the Clash.
When the green flag waved, Pursley, Ferguson, Ross Bailes and Josh Langley roared into turn one battling for the lead.
Exiting turn two, it was Pursley, Bailes and a dogfight for fourth between Ferguson, Josh Langley and Jeff Smith. As the laps passed, Pursley took the lead, while Bailes chased.
Lancaster Super Speedway will host its biggest racing night of the 2016 season Saturday night.
The Sept. 3 racing card will feature the ever-popular Carolina Clash Super Late Model Series.
Hometown drivers Josh Langley and "The Rock Hill Bad Boy," Ben Watkins are set to defend their hometown track from the likes of Johnny Pursley, on a hot streak of late winning four straight races and moving up the rankings on DirtonDirt top 25 rankings at No. 23.

Invent a better way to fold the pads!
3.500 €
Wettbewerb endete am 5. September 2016
Grafikdesign - Label & Verpackungsdesign
Women love sanitary pads because pads come through for them in their time of need. The only thing is that some women find sanitary pads too big to fit into their purse or pouch and not discreet enough to take them to the bathroom at work, or in a public place.
Always, one of the leading brands for menstruation pads, has listened to women, and wants to find an innovative new way to fold the pad, so it is more compact, but without changing the pad itself.
Can you help Always improve the fold design of the pad so it is more compact, discreet and appealing to women?
Invent a new & appealing fold design for Always sanitary pads without changing the pad itself.

Windows 7, OpenCL and GPU Computing
ExtremeTech discusses GPGPU computing on Windows 7. "Both Nvidia and ATI are committed to supporting DirectX 11 on their newest boards; and both now have early OpenCL drivers out as well. In particular, I expect both of their Windows 7 drivers will support OpenCL." says Michael Miller.

True spiritual evolution progresses through a closer and closer alignment with the Higher Self. A quantum leap is achieved through fusion between the focus personality and the Higher Self. The larger person now communicates with a Higher Self on a higher level than before.
The previous evolution of consciousness has taken humans from the conditions of the group soul — comparable to animals, fish, or even insects — toward individuation. The next phase of evolution can take our species as a whole to a new plane of consciousness and being. We are invited to participate in the emergence of a new species.
The invitation may come in ways that are terrifying to the little self, which clings to its little things.
One of my favorite teaching stories about this was popular with the gentle, ascetic philosophers of Vedanta, precisely because its way, primal quality is calculated to shock the hearer out of conventional pieties. It is a story about you and me: about the relationship between the little self and the big Self.
The Parable of the Wannabe Goat
The she-tiger is prowling the woods. She is hungry. She is pregnant and has two lives to feed. At the edge of the forest, she discovers a herd of goats, grazing on the plain. She advances toward them cautiously, keeping downwind. But her big belly makes her clumsy. When she makes her spring, she dashes her head against a protruding boulder and is killed. Her cub is born posthumously. When the goats come back, they find a blind, mewling, helpless newborn. They take pity on it and decide to raise it as one of their own. They teach it to eat grass and to bleat like the herd. The cub is always the odd one out in the herd, the butt of many jeers. But is does its best to fit in.
Until one day the Bengal man-eater comes stalking through the woods. He has just eaten a gazelle for breakfast, but he is always hungry. His spring is impeccable. The goats all flee — except for the wanna-be goat. The tiger inspects the cub in astonishment. "What are you doing here?"
"Maaaaah," bleats the wanna-be goat.
"We don't bleat," growls the man-eater.
Confused, the cub nibbles grass.
"And we do not eat grass!" roars the man-eater. "We are not vegetarians!"
The tiger seizes the cub by the scruff of the neck and carries him to a reflecting pool, to show him his true face.
When the wanna-be goat sees his true face, he squeals in terror.
Enraged and disgusted, the man-eater grabs the cub and drags him back to his lair, where he is hoarding the remains of the gazelle he had for breakfast. He pries open the cub's jaw and forces down some of the raw meat. As the blood trickles down the wanna-be goat's gullet, he opens his jaws. And he roars.
Whereupon the tiger says, "Now that you know who you are, we can begin to discuss how you ought to behave."
The message is savagely clear. The reason we can hope to succeed in our hunt for the Higher Self is that, while we fancy we are the hunters, the big Self — the tiger in the soul — is hunting us.
Adapted from Dreamgates: Exploring the Worlds of Soul, Imagination and Life Beyond Death by Robert Moss. Published by New World Library.
I first posted this here a while back. Tiger has made it clear to me he wants me to tell the story again…
