2011 Update on the New Brooklyn Park Library Project
- The New Brooklyn Park Library Community Advisory Committee (CAC) met three times to discuss the Brooklyn Park Community, the vision for a new library, and the role of the CAC in the planning process.
- A "Constructive Cooperative Agreement" between Hennepin County and the City of Brooklyn Park was signed. It outlines the respective parties' responsibilities relating to the construction of College Parkway, the access road to the library site that will link West Broadway Avenue and 85th Avenue North.
- Representatives from the Science Museum of Minnesota met with Hennepin County staff to discuss space requirements and programming opportunities. Flexible space to accommodate library and Science Museum programming was identified as a key element in the planning process.
- Staff is reviewing potential STEM programs that could be incorporated into the new Brooklyn Park Library. Site visits and research are underway to develop a program plan.
- The CAC will be convened in 2012 to provide feedback on design concepts as the project moves from the pre-design to schematic design phase of the project.

With just one more day to go before the release of Owl City's new album The Midsummer Station (pre-order on iTunes here), we're giving Adam Young's fans an early listen to the track "Metropolis". It's a soaring number brimming with warm synths and a stomping beat that Young produced himself and co-wrote with his friend Matthew Thiessen of Reliant K (who also wrote OC's chart-topping 2009 smash "Fireflies" with Adam).
"Like a hijacked plane, or a runaway train, or a speeding bullet / there's no stopping this, I left my heart in Metropolis," Young sings on the string-laden "Metropolis". Give it a spin below!
Owl City — "Metropolis"
"Metropolis" is just one of 11 songs on Owl City's fourth LP The Midsummer Station, which also contains his current Top 20 pair-up with Carly Rae Jepsen, "Good Time", and the four tracks that appeared on this past spring's Shooting Star EP (including "Take It All Away", which we premiered here on Idolator).
Let us know your thoughts on Owl City's new song "Metropolis" below, or by hitting us up on Facebook and Twitter!

Do you get what you pay for?
For example, one beauty blogger found that using Crisco on her skin worked just as well as an expensive face cream.
This post comes from staff writer April Dykman at partner blog Get Rich Slowly.
Like many of you, I'm a proponent of quality over quantity. I'd rather buy one good coat that will get me through three seasons and last for years than replace a poorly made, cheap one every year.
But it's important to consider that expense is not necessarily an indication of quality. And even when the more expensive item is of higher quality, it might not be the best buy.
The following are five examples that illustrate that the more expensive option isn't always worth the extra expense.
Kitchen gear. While researching this post, I happened upon countless articles advising people to spend big on a quality chef's knife. That's exactly what I was planning to do a couple years ago, until I read a Cook's Illustrated review on chef's knives. (For me, Cook's Illustrated is the final word in cooking. They've never steered me wrong.) They tested brands that varied widely in price, giving the highest rating to a $30 Forschner Fibrox knife, noting that "knives costing four times as much would be hard-pressed to match in performance." I can attest that it's a good one.
Food writer Mark Bittman says that in most restaurant kitchens, chefs use an 8-inch, plastic-handle stainless alloy chef's knife that costs $10 at a restaurant supply store. Bittman also shows readers how they can equip a basic kitchen for $200.
It seems that despite the standard advice of "investing" in a chef's knife, the pros use and recommend the cheaper ones.
Prescriptions. There are a few exceptions to the rule, but in general, generic medications are equivalent to their brand-name counterparts. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, generics can be sold at a substantial discount because generic manufacturers don't have to pay investment costs to develop the drug. The FDA requires generic drugs to have the identical purity, quality, strength, and stability as their brand-name counterparts.
The prescription drug commercials we see on TV would have you believe that their brand-name drug is superior, but the FDA says it isn't so.
Cameras. Haje Jan Kamps from Photocritic.org wrote about why he doesn't need an expensive camera:
All I'm saying is that at my level (and, I wager to say, at the level of many other photographers), the 450D (and any equivalent low-level SLR cameras) are plenty good. The problem with photography is that it's simply too tempting to splash a lot of money for everything and then end up bankrupting yourself on the wrong things.
I used to have a bad habit of thinking that I needed the newest and most expensive stuff for both established and new hobbies. It's tempting to get top-of-the-line equipment, but most of it is unnecessary unless you're a professional. A pricey camera won't make you a better photographer.
Note from J.D. Roth of Get Rich Slowly: April is absolutely correct. A better camera does not equal better photos. Lenses are much more important. And most folks would be much better served by paying a couple hundred bucks to take a photography class at the local community college.
Skin care. Ever heard of Crème la Mer? It's the ridiculously expensive face moisturizer touted by various celebrities. And by ridiculously expensive, I mean $125 for one measly ounce of the miracle cream.
One beauty blogger decided to pit Crème la Mer against Crisco (yes, you read that correctly -- the big, blue tub of vegetable shortening). It turns out that everyone from beauty experts to doctors recommend Crisco as a serious skin moisturizer, and in the blogger's trial, there was minimal difference between the La Mer side of her face and the Crisco side. A 16-ounce tub of Crisco is about $3.50. A 16-ounce jar of Crème la Mer is $1,350.
I can't say I'm going to try this one myself, but it shows that there are cheap and effective skin care alternatives that work just as well as the ones that cost a fortune.
Wine. In Evolved Primate, a Psychology Today blog, social psychologist Daniel R. Hawes discussed an experiment where wine tasters rated the same wine differently depending on what they thought it cost.
…when tasting the same wine, the participating wine tasters systematically reported superior taste for the wine that came out of the $90 bottle, in contrast to the wine that came from the $10 bottle.
The study suggests that we perceive the quality and likability of a wine relative to its price.
In the article "Expensive wines doesn't always mean they're better," wine critic and author Matt Kramer wrote that a more expensive wine is better than a less expensive one to a degree, but not to an extreme degree, and price is determined by many factors:
… there's no "right price" for a wine. If you can get people to pay a high price, because of quality, public relations, high scores, marketing muscle, or just plain luck, well then, you've found the right price. It's that simple -- and that complex.
My favorite wine is Brunello di Montalcino, but it's expensive and therefore a rare treat. I have to wonder how I'd fare in a blind taste test, though. Is it truly the taste of the wine I enjoy, or the feeling of indulging myself and the memories of the little trattoria in Florence where I had my first glass?
- Bing: Best wines under $25
Good news: Consumers aren't morons
Even though consumers may perceive expensive products to be of higher quality, that doesn't mean we'll buy. A Cornell study found that although a more expensive product may generate a more favorable view, it doesn't necessarily mean consumers will buy it.
Cornell behavioral economist Ori Heffetz was surprised by the results, expecting larger effects:
More expensive products might be perceived as more attractive -- which could increase demand -- but they are also more expensive, which our study showed decreased demand.
In other words, I may think a $1,350 jar of moisturizer is superior to a tub of Crisco, but that doesn't mean I'm blowing the rent on face cream. Score one for consumer sensibility.
What are some more examples of when the expensive product isn't the best option or the highest quality? What is the cheaper solution that works better?

text: content LE Magazine December 1995 Melatonin Improves Immune Function Links To Other Anti-Aging Therapies Since melatonin plays such a central role in so many of the body's life maintenance processes, and is found so ubiquitously throughout the body, one wonders whether the health and longevity benefits of other therapies might be mediated through their interaction with melatonin. Does Deprenyl Stimulate Melatonin Synthesis? It's long been assumed that low doses of deprenyl--according to the rat experiments of Hungarian scientist Dr. Joseph Knell-- (injections of 0.25 mg/kg every other day) inhibit the enzyme monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) selectively, and that this selective inhibition is lost at higher doses, which also inhibit monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A). It's also been assumed that deprenyl's ability as a selective inhibitor of MAO-B is at least partially responsible for its ability to extend lifespan in both laboratory animals and Parkinson's Disease patients. This hypothesis is based upon 21day studies of low and high doses of deprenyl in rats. However, a recent study at the Brown University School of Medicine in Providence, Rhode Island showed that, after six months of low-dose deprenyl treatment in rats, deprenyl inhibited both MAO-B and MAO-A! This inhibition doubled the concentration of serotonin in the pineal gland of the deprenyl-treated rats, increased the levels of noradrenaline, and doubled the levels of the metabolic precursor to melatonin (N-acetylserotonin) , although there was no evidence of increased melatonin levels. Since melatonin is manufactured from serotonin in the pineal gland triggered by noradrenaline, these findings suggest that long-term deprenyl therapy may slow aging and extend lifespan by stimulating the synthesis of melatonin! Does Acetyl-l-Carnitine Stimulate Melatonin Synthesis?Scientists at the University of Milan in Italy have found that injections of acetyl-l-carnitine (ALC) at doses of 10, 30, and 90 mg/kg lead to "remarkable increases" of pineal and serum melatonin one hour later in young (2 month-old) male rats, but that only the 90 mg/kg dose of ALC increases melatonin levels in old (24 month old) rats.The scientists hypothesize that: "Since both ALC and melatonin are remarkable free radical scavengers, it is possible that ALC's ability to reverse certain aging processes may be due to its ability to promote melatonin production. Another reasonable hypothesis that can be derived from this study is that the body may lose its ability to utilize acetyl-l-carnitine and that we may need to take higher doses of ALC to Compensate for this age-related change. " Melatonin Increases Growth Hormone Levels When scientists at the University of Manitoba in Canada gave hamsters daily injections of melatonin for 10 weeks they found a "substantial increase" of both growth hormone and insulin-like growth-factor-1 (IGF-1)--a precursor to growth hormone. These findings suggest that one of melatonin's mechanisms of action in promoting longevity may be the stimulation of growth hormone release. Growth hormone is depleted with advancing age (just as melatonin is), and the administration of growth hormone to aging men has produced rejuvenation effects such as increased muscle mass, increased strength, greater flexibility, and better coordination.

GMHC Presents Save Our Sons
GMHC Presents Save Our Sons
GMHC fights to end the AIDS epidemic and uplift the lives of all affected.
GMHC presents "S.O.S. (Save Our Sons): A community discussion on the rising rates of HIV infection among young gay men of color while prevention funding is shrinking"
Guest panelists: Dominique Crisden, Community Health & Research, GMHC
Blayne Cutler, MD PhD, Bureau of HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control, NYC Department of Health & Mental Hygiene Shariff Gibbons, Outstanding Beautiful Brothers, GMHC Perry N. Halkitis, PhD, MPH, Center for Health, Identity, Behavior & Prevention Studies, NYU

Guest moderator: Mathew Rodriguez, TheBody.com
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) of all races remain the population most severely affected by HIV. MSM account for more than half (61%) of all new HIV infections in the U.S. each year, as well as nearly half (48%) of people living with HIV. While CDC estimates that MSM account for just 4% of the US male population aged 13 and older, the rate of new HIV diagnoses among MSM in the US is more than 44 times that of other men and more than 40 times that of women. Between 2006 and 2009, the number of new infections that occurred each year increased among young MSM – driven by an alarming 48% increase among young, black MSM 13 to 29 years old. MSM is the only risk group in the U.S. in which new HIV infections have been increasing since the early 1990s. According to the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, MSM and people of color continue to be disproportionately affected by HIV. Of all males newly diagnosed with HIV, 44% were black or Hispanic MSM. In 2009, for the first time, diagnoses among MSM ages 13-29 surpassed diagnoses among MSM ages 30 years and older. New HIV diagnoses among MSM ages 20-29 have increased since 2006. Young MSM account for a larger proportion of new HIV diagnoses among MSM of color than among white MSM.
About Gay Men's Health Crisis GMHC is a not-for-profit, volunteer-supported and community-based organization committed to leading the fight against AIDS on a national platform. We provide prevention and care services to men, women and families that are living with, or affected by HIV/AIDS in New York City.

For several University of Georgia football players, an already tough loss to South Carolina on Saturday night followed them home to Athens. The house shared by players including quarterback Aaron Murray and linebacker Christian Robinson was targeted by vandals.
Robinson tweeted Sunday that their house had been "egged and rolled." He added, "Seems that people turn on you when you're not perfect. Thought we were in this together."
The Bulldogs lost 35-7 to South Carolina, causing them to fall from No. 5 to No. 14 in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll on Sunday.
Murray also tweeted about the incident, adding, "Yep, what a great thing to come home to for us." But that's not all of the bad news for the Bulldogs' QB. He learned Sunday that his father has cancer, and quickly rushed to Tampa, Fla. to be by his side when he underwent surgery on Monday.
On Twitter, Murray said, "Probably the worst 12 hours of my life but I know my family will push through. Keep my dad in your prayers please."
Many fans in Athens told FOX 5 they were outraged at the attack on their players. Neighbors and teammates came out Sunday to help clean up the mess the vandals left behind.

Beginning riders often gauge a bike's suitability largely by its saddle. The Voyageur Sport has a SuperSoft elastomer memory-foam saddle, but there's much more to the bike than that. Smooth-riding steel is welded into a frame with Schwinn's "comfort geometry," with ample leg and torso clearance for easy dismounts. The coil-sprung fork with 50mm of travel cushions your hands, while your behind gets a 35mm-travel suspension seatpost. SRAM 3.0 shifters and rear derailleur provide reliable shifts. (BikeTown bikes were customized with Shimano's internally geared Nexus group.)
Schwinn's dedication to beginners is evident in the Voyageur, with utilitarian parts and a quality frameset that looks and feels like a million bucks.
Frame: Schwinn chromoly steel
Fork: SR/Suntour M2000N w/ 50mm travel
Sizes: 15, 17, 19, 21 in.; 13, 17 in. (women's)
Cool Features: SRAM 3.0 shifters and rear derailleur are easy to operate; alloy adjustable stem w/ 55-degree movement and 180mm quill insertion allows for nearly unlimited handlebar adjustment; Auto Pilot 700x40 all-weather touring tires feel stable in all conditions
Price: $260
Contact: 800/SCHWINN
Giant uses FluidForm tube shaping on the Cypress DX, which gives the frame a cool sculpted look but also re_inforces stress points and lessens the need for heavy, welded gussets. The result is a strong, lightweight frame that offers street speed with the comfort of a more-upright mountain bike geometry.
Parts selections are tailored for the casual rider and commuter. The linear-pull brakes have Power Control modulators for smooth, powerful braking. And while our BikeTowners received bikes customized with Shimano Nexus drivetrains, the standard Cypress DX spec of SRAM MRX shifters with Shimano derailleurs yields 24 gears, an ample range to handle any terrain. The suspension seatpost and long-travel (for a commuter bike) fork mean you'll have no problem dropping off curbs or rolling smoothly over potholes. Finally, the puncture-resistant tires come pre-filled with Slime sealant for an extraordinary level of flat protection.-Joe Lindsey
Frame: ALUXX butted FluidForm aluminum
Fork: SR Suntour Magnesium w/ 75mm travel
Sizes: 15, 17, 19, 21, 23 in.; step-through 15, 17, 19 in.
Cool Features: Alloy adjustable stem lets you fine-tune rider position; alloy suspension seatpost and gel saddle take the edge off bumps
Price: $380

Click Now For This Special Report On How To Look Your Best With Creatine
The short answer is yes and no. It really depends on your age and your growth plates. In young people both your penis and your height are dependent on a hormone called DHT. This hormone is a metabolite of testosterone that is one factor in penis length and overall height. In fact it was found that afro-american men have more of this hormone than caucasian men, even though their testosterone levels are the same.
DHT can indeed make your penis larger for life if you take it prior to your growth spurt phase. Some males will stop growing at 18 while others will continue to grow until their early 20′s. You never know if your growth plates are closed so there is no way to tell whether creatine will make your penis larger.
Creatine has been shown to alter the DHT to testosterone ratio similar to those found in african american males, so it is wise to use a creatine supplement during puberty if you wish to increase penis length and height.
Make sure you are under a doctor's supervision and get permission from your parents if you are under 18 and wish to use a creatine supplement.
Creatine monohydrate is the preferred form of creatine to have this penis lengthening effect, so make sure you use a supplement with creatine monohydrate in it.

Concordia Hands Evergreen Third Loss of Season
November 23, 2002
by Devin Jones
KLAMATH FALL, OR -- Three games in three days is tough for any team to play. The story was no different for The Evergreen State College Geoducks (1-3) and the Concordia University Cavaliers (2-2) when they met Saturday night to battle for third place on the third and final day of the pre-season Cascade Conference Tournament.
Evergreen Head Coach John Barbee stated that, "This game will be won by the team that makes the least mistakes."
Concordia head coach Brad Barbarick described it similarly in saying, "The team that stayed mentally focused throughout the game is the team that came out on top."
Both coaches were right. Both teams were worn out, but the Cavaliers persevered and defeated the Geoducks 85-65, and received third place honors for the tournament.
During the first half of the game, Evergreen held a 20-18 lead and it looked as if the Geoducks had put the previous nights loss to Oregon Tech behind and were focused on the task at hand.
Unfortunately, the Cavaliers went on a 19-0 run midway through the half and held the Geoducks scoreless for nearly seven minutes, to build the lead to 38-20. The run proved to be a road block and Evergreen couldn't find a detour.
Concordia's Keith Childs led the Cavaliers with 19 points and also tore down 13 rebounds, 6 of them offensive. Jon
Lee (5-5) and Nate Ferrier (3-5) both added 15 points each for Concordia; Ferrier also pulled down 8 rebounds.
The fourth player in double figures for the Cavaliers was Steve Ford who contributed 10 points off the bench for his team.
"Our team has a lot of depth this year," said coach Barbarick, "we got off to a pretty good start tonight, and we had really good bench support…we're pretty happy going home 2-1 after this tournament."
Mike Parker (Washington DC / Clover Park HS) led Evergreen with 19 points on 8-13 shooting and also had 8 rebounds. Parker also equaled a personal best with five blocked shots in the game.
Coming off a season high 24 points from the night before, Adam Laneer (Tumwater, Wash. / Tumwater HS) contributed 13 points (5-14), with Karriem Fielding (Sacramento, Cal. / Burbank HS) and Marvin IsaacInglewood, Cal. / Inglewood HS) both chipped in 11 points in the loss. (
Evergreen will have one day to rest before they get back in the gym for practice on Monday evening, and then will travel to Tacoma, Washington the following night to play their fourth game in six days when they face Pacific Lutheran University.

The holiday shopping experience may seem the same for most consumers, but certain retail outlets are using technology to track your movements and habits while inside their store.
It's not just security cameras retailers use to watch shoppers, but the smartphone in the shopper's hand.
"We all have these iPhones or Android devices. The fact of the matter is they emit radio frequency signals. Every phone has a unique address," said SAS Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Jim Davis.
A new trend called "showrooming" is driving retailers to track shoppers. Showrooming is where shoppers see an item in the store but look for a better price online or possibly at another retailer.
"Sixty-three percent of shoppers will go through the showrooming experience this year," Davis said.
In comparison, "webrooming" is seeing an item online and then purchasing it in a retail outlet.
The Cary software company was involved with the software that allows retailers to track and analyze shoppers' movements and habits.
Shoppers are tracked anonymously if they walk into a store with their smartphone on, but if a shopper logs into the retailer's Wi-Fi, that's a different story. The retailer can track your exact movements using that Wi-Fi connection.
"They are tracking you via Wi-Fi and they might ask you to sign in," Davis said. "They might offer you some sort of discount if you sign in. Once they know who you are, then they can tie you in to other channels via a catalog that you may have purchased from in the past or an online experience."
Davis said the tracking can be stopped by simply turning your smartphone off when you walk into a store.
Some retailers, such as Nordstrom, ended their tracking efforts after posting a sign explaining its policy, Davis said.
"They had a great backlash from that from a data privacy perspective. A lot of people might have thought that was a bit creepy," he said.
But retailers use tracking to benefit the consumer as well. A retailer can send offers and coupons to shoppers while still in the store.
Shoppers like Jessica Whaley, of Raleigh, like the idea of getting deals in the middle of shopping.
"They know what you've purchased before, so you get coupons for it that say, 'Oh, I saw you were looking at this jacket. These are on sale too,'" Whaley said.
Not everyone likes the idea of being tracked by retailers, like shopper Patricia Guin.
"That makes me a little nervous. I don't like information being tracked and my buying habits being tracked," Guin said.
Whaley believes it is up to the consumer to avoid being tracked by retailers.
"If you don't want to, then don't connect to the Wi-Fi in the store or opt out of the emails or coupons or whatever you want. I think it's your choice," Whaley said.
Davis said tracking can be beneficial for the consumer as long as retailers keep the customer in mind first.
"Tracking sounds like a stalking sort of thing. The reality is that tracking can be a very good thing for the consumer," Davis said. "If it means we can get tailored discounts while we're in the store, that's a good thing. I think people will go for that."

For several decades, there have been very few employment opportunities in the skilled trade areas within the Rocky Mountain region. Today, numerous companies and government agencies predict that half of their employees will be retiring within the next ten to fifteen years. The Western Area Power Authority, Halliburton, and many pipeline companies are looking at a 50% or more retirement rate within the next decade. These employees need to be replaced by people with the proper skills for the jobs.
Due to the expanding economy is the oil and natural gas industry, there is a major shortage of skilled workers in Wyoming and the Rocky Mountain region. The shortage of skilled technicians effects many companies and agencies in Wyoming and the local region, including the petroleum industry. Many petroleum companies are finding it hard to find and keep technicians trained for their industry.
Casper College is one of a handful of schools in the United States training technicians to work in the oil and gas industry. A survey conducted by the college indicates there is a need for trained technicians and enhanced employment opportunities for technicians trained to work in the petroleum industry. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, these employment opportunities are high paying jobs for workers with the right skills and proper training. Most positions in the oil and gas industries pay between $14 and $26 per hour. As the oil and gas industry expands and retirement increases, the demand for skilled technician will only increase, providing many employment opportunities for graduates from this exceptional program.

Spring planting has kicked off in southern states and is just a few months away for much of the Midwest. What will farmers plant this spring?
According to a recent Farm Journal Pulse, a text message survey, most farmers will plant half of their acres or less to corn. More than 1,300 respondents answered the question: What percent of your acres will be planted to corn?
Here are the full results:
See the results on an interactive map:
USDA is expecting a surge in soybean acres this year and a decrease in corn acres, compared to last year. During its annual Agricultural Outlook Forum, USDA pegged this year's acreage mix to be:
Farmers are expected to shift a significant numbers out of corn and toward soybeans this year, according to one market analyst. However, the annual acreage battle is always a wild card as you never know what Mother Nature will do.

Risky Business: Dangers Facing Journalists
WASHINGTON - The kidnapping March 12 in the Gaza Strip of British Broadcasting Corporation correspondent Alan Johnston is the latest reminder of the danger journalists confront when they report in hostile areas. Johnston became the 15th journalist abducted in the Gaza Strip since 2004.
The possibility of being abducted, jailed or even killed is a daily concern for war reporters. In Iraq, taking the story beyond the daily bombings and deaths often pushes some journalists to explore a wide variety of social and political issues, even at the risk of their own safety.
"It really is a story that is best told by words," said Jim Michaels, who covers the military for USA Today. "The invasion itself was very compelling television. But the insurgency can't be told by video. … It's about ideas and economics and politics."
Reporters in Iraq navigate differing perceptions and competing agendas. Thomas Ricks of The Washington Post said that when he was embedded with a U.S. patrol in western Baghdad in 2003, his colleague Anthony Shadid, who speaks Arabic, moved about more freely and asked Iraqi citizens about the American troops.
"We were able to show what a wide gap there was between what the Americans thought they were doing in Iraq and what the Iraqis thought the Americans were doing," Ricks said.
Safety is another concern. "The environment is more dangerous for reporters than anything I've seen in Afghanistan, Somalia, Bosnia or Kosovo," said Ricks.
Since the 2003 start of the war in Iraq, 101 journalists have been killed there. When the Newseum opens soon, the World News gallery will offer stories about journalists who risked their lives to report the news.

Most men and women managers and executives surveyed for the consulting firm Accenture believe you can have it all – but maybe not at the same time.
The "all" is a successful career and a full life outside of work. The survey of 4,100 people in 33 countries found two-thirds believe it's possible. Most of them, 56 percent, said a career is successful when you can balance both work and outside life, such as a family.
Fifty-percent, however, say you can't have it all at the same time. "More than half (52 percent) say they have turned down a job due to concerns about its impact on work-life balance," the survey said.
Only 46 percent said they measure success by the amount of money they make.
The keys to striking that work-life balance is technology and flexible work schedules, the respondents said. "Eighty percent report that having flexibility in their work schedule is extremely or very important to work-life balance. The majority, however, also say technology brings work into their outside lives.
The survey, which had a margin of error of 2 percentage points and was conducted November 2012, also found:
* 53 percent of women and 50 percent of men say they are satisfied with their jobs and are not looking for new opportunities. Most have been with their companies for more than four years.
* Three-quarters say they work frequently or occasionally on their paid time off, checking email, catching up on work, or working in a distraction-free environment.

the Great Recession should have created an environment of good old fashioned " work ethic " that has been lost in the last decade….. too much of this " work life balance "… a great career is your life !!!!! too many folks not willing to travel.. relocate.. retrain.. put in extra time… get to work folks !!!!

"The majority, however, also say technology brings work into their outside lives."
In plain English if your employer and employees can yank your electronic leash 24/7, which is now the reality for many managers and execs, then you're never really off the clock and you have no outside life.

Hello, Capitol Records ... The Beatles Are coming.....
Friday, February 7th 1964
*The Invasion Begins
*Two days from Ed Sullivan Show
Pan Am flight 101 left London Airport early on the morning of February 7th. The pilot says to tell the boys there's a big crowd waiting for them. They had no idea how big. They land at 1:20 in the afternoon to thousands of screaming fans, hoards of press, and security. Pandemonium. We've all seen the photos and read just about everybody's take on the events of February 7th, 1964. But to this day, it still makes me a little giddy. It was pretty much my second memory and helped me partially erase my first. It was a healthy dose of excitement to most and at least a needed distraction for the rest. Love em' or hate em, The Beatles had arrived.
I think it's funny that even after the press conference, at least to the press, The Beatles had to say their names while they were standing at the microphones. Within a couple of days most everyone knew who they were.
Their trip to the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan mirrored the scenes at the airport, with hundreds of adoring fans and what I think is an added mystique of police on horseback.
The next day and a half was filled with radio interviews and rehearsals for The Ed Sullivan Show. We'll recap that show on Monday's Beatles Blog. Don't forget Sunday night's broadcast on CBS. The two hour show, 'The Night That Changed America,' airs at the exact time of the 50th anniversary of The Beatles legendary performance on 'The Ed Sullivan Show. Pretty cool. It's still fun to treat yourself to their first press conference on American soil.

Norwegian Cruise Line is getting closer to the completion of their newest vessel, the 4,000-passenger Norwegian Breakaway: the iconic hull artwork designed by artist Peter Max has nearly been applied at the Meyer-Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.
A few months ago, I wrote about the importance of giving Norwegian Breakaway's New York-inspired hull artwork a chance. As I had suspected, the actual artwork looks far better in reality than on some of the earlier renderings, which were created as most renderings are: as proof-of-concept.
But whether or not Peter Max's artwork appeals to you, there's no denying that hull artwork has become an integral part of the Norwegian Cruise Line brand. It signifies a fun, exciting experience is to be had onboard – and Norwegian Breakaway looks poised to deliver more of that than any other Norwegian ship to-date.
Building on some of the most successful features found aboard the 2010-built Norwegian Epic, the popular "Studio" staterooms designed and priced exclusively for solo cruisers will return onboard Norwegian Breakaway. At the high end of the scale, The Haven by Norwegian will feature 42 suites positioned directly at the top of the ship, with 18 additional suites located throughout the remaining decks. Balcony, Mini-suite and Spa staterooms will also be featured, along with the return of standard Oceanview staterooms, which were missing from onboard Norwegian Epic.
The innovative entertainment options Norwegian Cruise Line is known for will also return, including Rock of Ages, Burn the Floor, and Cirque Dreams & Dinner Jungle Fantasy. Food network star Goeggrey Zakarian will debut his first restaurant at sea, and Cake Boss star Buddy Valastro will open the first Carlo's Bake Shop at sea.
That's also in addition to a fireworks spectacular that will be featured on the ship's Bermudan sailings from New York City, a pool deck with five full-sized waterslides, and a three story sports complex, not to mention more bars and dining options than you could hope to experience in a week.
If you're curious about Norwegian Breakaway, stay tuned – we'll be travelling to New York in early May for the ship's christening and two-night preview cruise!
To see some of Norwegian Cruise Line's innovative design and entertainment direction, check out our Live Voyage Report in the Caribbean onboard the massive Norwegian Epic!
2 Responses to Norwegian Breakaway Inches Closer to Completion
Kalle Id says:
The way Peter Max's signature has been applied makes it look like the ship's name is actually Peter Max and not Norwegian Breakaway. I agree that the hull art looks better than in the preview images, but it's still not entirely pleasant (to my eye at least). The head of the Statue of Liberty looks particularly bad. The Manhattan Dining Room on the other hand looks splendid indeed.
I very much look forward to reading your report from the ship once it is completed.
Aaron Saunders says:
I fully agree with you about the name; Norwegian Breakaway is set further back on the superstructure. It could be confusing to new cruisers or first-time guests. I think, much like art, it will be a rather polarizing design – but that's not a bad thing!

I am wanting to do something similar to this:
My question involves the concept rather than any specific code on how to execute this.
For example, we are selling violins and we want the user to input info about their playing style, and give them the three best violins based on their entry.m This is the data I've been given:
Level: Beginner Intermediate Advanced Soil, Kreisler, Gibson Soil, Kreisler, Ysaye, Cremonese, Gibson Cannon, Soil, Ysaye, K.Joseph, Keifetz Bowing Style: Soft Medium Hard Soil, Medici, Kreisler Soil, Medici, K.Joseph, Ysaye Cannon, Kreisler, Soil, Heifetz Musical Style: Classical Fiddle Rock Ysaye, Soil, Provigny Medici, Ysaye, K.Joseph Kreisler, Diable, Vieuxtemps Desired Tone: Bright Balanced Dark Soil, Medici, Provigny Kreisler, Soil, Ysaye Cannon, Diable, Plowden
So if the user inputs Expert, Hard, Rock, and Dark I will data sets of violins consisting of: Cannon, Soil, Ysaye, K.Joseph, Heifetz // Cannon, Kreisler, Soil, Heifetz // Kreisler, Diable, Vieuxtemps // Cannon, Diable, Plowden
Out of those I need to output the user the three best choices for them. Cannon is listed in 3 out of the 4, so that has to be #1. Now there are three more violins that match two of the criteria. The Soil, Kriesler and Diable. In order to drill that down to two choices, I would think the questions would have to be ranked according to importance. For instance Tone is most important, followed by bowing style, musical genre, and skill level. Based on that ranking, the program should choose the Diable and Kreisler.
I am not entirely sure how to approach this. Since this data will not change frequently, should this even get the database involved? Should the info just be stored in a multi-dimensional array? Once the data is in an array, whether from the DB or not, how should I go about programming the logic to examine the arrays in order of importance and grab the violins that are most relevant?
Any help is much appreciated! I figured this was going to be easy, until I actually started thinking about it! :blush:

This looks really good! Have a great weekend celebrating!
In the UK it's a normal weekend. I'll be making veg and halloumi kebabs for dinner on Saturday night and Sunday will involve meal prep for the week as always - I'm thinking a pan of enchiladas for dinner and lunches, a big salad for lunches and some energy balls. There was a death in my fiance's family so I'm going to make a pan of mac and cheese for his parents too - I think they could do with some comfort food.
We go pretty classic grilling for the holiday weekend -- burgers, my father-in-law's homemade bbq chicken (the best!), corn .... And batches of these classic gin rickeys! http://www.afetefullife.com/cocktail-hour-classic-gin-rickey/
