text: It seems now more often then not, when it comes to building your own identity on the web, more people are moving towards the concept of having their own toon or cartoon mascot created, versus using a traditional photo of yourself. One of the best companies in the game for mascot design and creation, is SOS Factory. In this post we highlight some of SOS Factory's best mascots and design work.

The Murder of Lee Rigby
"Terrorism overall doesn't stay static. It changes and the tactics and the methods change over time as well...partly it's a response to security measures that a state introduces. So if a state makes it very, very hard to hit a particular target or, to carry out a particular type of attack like hijacking planes, what we find is that there's displacement. That you get a switch to a different type of tactic and a different type of target that is easier to hit."
Professor Andrew Silke – Programme Director for Terrorism studies, University of East London
Lee Rigby was born in Manchester in July 1987. He went to a local school and started a lifelong passion for Manchester United. And right from the start, he wanted to be in the Army.
But Lee struggled to pass the Army recruiting process because of his dyslexia.
He failed the entry test twice. It only made him more determined.
In 2006, when Lee was 19, he was finally able to join up. He was selected to be a member of the Corps of Drums. His first posting was as a machine gunner in Cyprus.
The Army became like a second family to him. He also fell in love with a girl called Rebecca and the couple were married in West Yorkshire in 2007.
Lee's nickname was 'Riggers' and it was always easy to spot him on parade. He was the one with the beaming smile.
In 2009, Lee was deployed to Afghanistan with the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. It's a regiment with a formidable reputation. Lee proudly told his family that in just one day, six of its men had won the Victoria Cross – the highest military decoration. And when Lee served in Afghanistan, it was during one of its worst periods of fighting.
And indeed Lee had come close to not coming back when a bullet hit a picture frame next to his bed.
He'd phoned his mother straight after to tell them how a bullet had missed him by inches. And that he loved them.
After a stint in Germany, Lee was stationed at the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich
By 2013, Lee, now 25, had done two years in a recruitment post and was a father to a two-year-old, Jack. He had, however, since become estranged from Rebecca.
On 22 May 2013, Lee left an army recruitment fair at the Tower of London.
At 14:10 he exited the tube at Woolwich Arsenal DLR Station. He was returning to the Woolwich Barracks wearing a 'Help for Heroes' sweatshirt. It was an unremarkable, partly sunny afternoon.
He walked along Wellington Street before crossing John Wilson Street and entering Artillery Place. He crossed Artillery Place away from the Army barracks towards a shop on the other side of the road.
"It just so happened he was the soldier that was spotted first."
Michael Adebolajo explanation for why Lee was targeted
But Lee wasn't wearing uniform and he hadn't exited from the barracks.
But this didn't stop them.
When a soldier's murder in Woolwich was reported on the news, Lee's mother knew it was her boy.
If it wasn't him, he would have already called to reassure her.

Project Type: Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Sep 1, 2012
End Date: May 31, 2017
Screen pistachio cultivars with the causal agents of Panicle and Shoot Blight of Pistachio.
Planting disease-resistant cultivars is a time-tested and sustainable approach to disease management. Based on field observations and published research on resistance to wood-canker diseases, we know that a range of resistance exists among commercial cultivars of almond and grape. We propose to improve screening assays for evaluating both commercial cultivars and USDA germplasm repositories for sources of disease resistance. In pistachio, the entire acreage of which consists of a single, suceptible cultivar, newly-released cultivars offer an opportunity for identifying new sources of resistance. Our approach is to screen plant materials from both commercial nurseries and the USDA-ARS National Clonal Germplasm Repository.

Guest Testimonial
The Abercrombie & Kent team in Sri Lanka was most impressive. It was a pleasure to be met on arrival by your representative and at the end of our trip to be guided by him through the formalities of departure.
- AM, Hampshire
Ulagalla is nestled on 58 lush acres bordering two ancient reservoirs - Ullagalla and Wannamaduwa. The cultivated paddy fields form the heartland of this breathtakingly beautiful resort. When the resort was created not one tree was taken down and 1000 trees were planted after the resort was created. But the eco ethos does not detract from the guest experience. Take time to sit and relax in the the main area - an original mansion - and you'll feel the grand colonial atmosphere of old Sri Lanka.
The luxurious spacious chalets have private plunge pools and wonderful views onto the reserve. The accommodation is elegant and offers all the modern amenities expected. The main area of the hotel boasts a large swimming pool to enjoy in the heat of the day, and there's a spa for indulgent relaxation. Ulagalla has an excellent location for exploring the mighty Sigiriya Rock and Royal Gardens, Dambulla Cave Temple, the ancient ruined capital of Polonnaruwa, and the elephants in Minneriya National Park.

Remember, the connection pooling problem is only on one runtime mode of DayTrader. Before we get too afar I think we need to ask Dain if he's up to releasing it since we're all debating about work he would do or is someone else stepping up to putting the release together. I think it does benefit some users and I think the odd connection behaviour is an edge case.

As a kid, I remember using Castille soap. Peculiar smell. You haven't gotten squeaky clean till you scrub your face with Lava soap. In the 60's when nice smelling soaps arrived, I remember the bars being much larger so they seemed to last longer. Now, I'm lucky to get a weeks worth of clean from the smaller bars. I enjoy the homemade soap bars friends give us and consider them a real treat. Soap making is not easy and can take a lot of time to make just 12 bars. Wouldn't you rather have something made with love, than something from China that contains who knows what?View Instructable »

West Brom branch managers deliver a financial awareness workshop to school pupils in Tipton.
The next generation of savers have been given an early insight into the value and impact of money by managers from a local building society.
More than 80 year 11, 12 and 13 pupils at ACE Academy in Tipton took part in a special 'Money Go Round' workshop delivered by the West Brom.
Jan Sanders and Lewis Jones, who manage the West Brom's Dudley and Tipton branches respectively, spoke to youngsters aged between 15 and 18 about issues such as the differences between a bank and a building society and what people use them for, the importance of budgeting and the dangers of getting into unaffordable debt.
There were interactive elements throughout and the workshop ended with a team quiz.
Retail Manager Jan said: "It was fantastic to have the chance to go to ACE Academy and offer a general introduction to money and how it affects everybody on a day-to-day basis.
"Money can be a confusing subject and it's important, through initiatives like this workshop, to get young people thinking about the various issues from an early age. The students were very receptive to what we were saying and hopefully they found it as rewarding listening to the presentation as we did delivering it."
Julie Cornfield, Director of Sixth Form at ACE Academy on Alexandra Road, added: "Feedback from the students afterwards was very positive and they all appreciated a talk on such a real topic.
"Management of money will increasingly become an important issue for the students who attended the presentation and they were given some very important and wise guidance."
"Management of money will increasingly become an important issue for the students who attended the presentation and they were given some very important and wise guidance."

Description: Divorce is not the biggest threat to marriage. Discouragement is.You've probably heard the grim facts: Half of all marriages end in divorce. The divorce rate inside the church is the same as outside. Most marriages are just holding on. But what if these "facts" are actually myths?In The Good News About Marriage, best-selling author Shaunti Feldhahn presents groundbreaking research that reveals the shocking, incredibly inspiring truth:· The actual divorce rate has never gotten close to 50 percent.· Those who attend church regularly have a significantly lower divorce rate than those who don't.· Most marriages are happy.· Simple changes make a big difference in most marriage problems.· Most remarriages succeed.For too long, our confidence in marriage has been undermined by persistent misunderstandings and imperfect data. This landmark book will radically change how we think and talk about marriage--and what we can dare to hope from it."Shaunti takes aim at marriage myths that have spread like a cancer through our culture-myths that have become self-fulfilling prophecies. This book is packed with game-changing revelations. Like this one: Not only are most people staying married, they are happy in their marriages!" -Emerson Eggerichs, best-selling author of Love and Respect

The council is trying to build more genuinely affordable housing to meet the demand of the thousands of households currently on the (Lambeth) housing waiting list. The objectives of this programme are to try and do this whilst working with local residents and enhancing the estate where possible. We will look at the needs of existing estate residents first and so if there are families which are overcrowded or requiring specialist accommodation then we will try to meet these in any new homes built. We are also working on policies which we hope will give the option to existing tenants on the estate to bid for a proportion of the newly built homes. This is at an early stage and will be subject to agreement from councillors as well as the resolution of other practical issues which we are discussing. We will keep residents informed with this and if we are able to introduce a local letting policy for the new units then we will advertise this on the website and around the estate. We will also be pursuing construction contracts which insist on a certain amount of local labour and which ensure that local apprentices are given work and training.

Microsoft says disrupts cybercrime rings with roots in Kuwait, Algeria
By Jim Finkle
BOSTON, June 30 (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp launched what it hopes will be the most successful private effort to date to crack down on cyber crime by moving to disrupt communications channels between hackers and infected PCs.
The operation, which began on Monday under an order issued by a federal court in Nevada, targeted traffic involving malicious software known as Bladabindi and Jenxcus, which Microsoft said work in similar ways and were written and distributed by developers in Kuwait and Algeria.
It is the first high-profile case involving malware written by developers outside of Eastern Europe, according to Richard Domingues Boscovich, assistant general counsel of Microsoft's cybercrime-fighting Digital Crimes Unit.
"We never seen malware coded outside Eastern Europe that is as big as this. This really demonstrates the globalization of cybercrime," said Boscovich, whose team at Microsoft has disrupted nine other cybercrime operations over the past five years, all of which it believes originated in Eastern Europe.
He said it would take several days to determine how many machines were infected, but noted that the number could be very large because Microsoft's anti-virus software alone has detected some 7.4 million infections over the past year and is installed on less than 30 percent of the world's PCs.
The malware has slick dashboards with point-and-click menus to execute functions such as viewing a computer screen in real time, recording keystrokes, stealing passwords and listening to conversations, according to documents filed in U.S. District Court in Nevada on June 19 and unsealed Monday.
The malicious software was purchased by at least 500 customers, who are identified in the court documents as John Does 1 to 500.
Boscovich said the developers blatantly marketed their malware over social media, including videos on Google Inc's YouTube and a Facebook page. They posted instructional videos with techniques for infecting PCs, he said. Continued...

Islamabad, Dec. 15 (ANI): US Central Command Chief General David Petraeus has said that he sees no threat either to the Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari or the current civilian government posed by the Army.
Speaking to a few journalists at the residence of the US Ambassador Anne Patterson's residence here, Petraeus said he is positive that the Pakistan Army does not nurture any aim of destabilising the present democratic set up of the country.
"I have seen no indication that General Ashfaq Kayani is entertaining such a notion. Whenever we have talked to them they say they are committed to democratically elected civilian government," The News quoted Petraeus, as saying.
"When I testified before the Congress I was also asked whether the Pakistan military would take over and I said, "No", he added.
Responding to a question regarding the apprehensions that both the Pakistani civilian and military leadership has expressed over fallout of the new Afghan strategy, the CENCOM chief assured that militants would not cross over, saying this was the prime reason why he in Pakistan.
"This is one reason I am here and Admiral Mike Mullen will also be coming. We do need to layout the operational details but General Kayani was not apprehensive. The next step will be that General McCrystal will also come here," Petraeus said.
He also brushed aside the notion regarding the US entering into talks with the Taliban to stabilise Afghanistan.
"President Obama said that we would reconcile with those who renounce violence. Some Taliban have come and said that they no longer want to fight. The Taliban ruling Afghanistan is very remote," Petraeus said. (ANI)

Last week, a vegan named Kuntal Joisher successfully reached the summit of Mt Everest and came home to post photos to his Instagram account. Chances are, you didn't hear much, if anything, about him.

Vegan Diets Are Safe for Children
Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported about a preschool in Jersey City, NJ that offers only vegan food. The article kind of made me cringe. It made veganism look like a somewhat nutty, somewhat elitist diet that denies kids cupcakes at birthday parties. But at the very least, it didn't question the safety of […]
Vegan Food for People Who Don't Cook
Recently, I had a taste of what it's like to be a vegan who doesn't cook. For what seems like the past decade or so, I've been living with a kitchen remodel. Cooking while my kitchen was torn apart was not really a problem. I have an electric frying pan, an Instant Pot, and an […]
Vegan Diets are Dangerous? Here is What the Research Really Says
Doctors at the Cleveland Clinic suggest that vegans should know something about diet planning in order to make sure they are meeting nutrient needs. Their conclusions were published in the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association. The paper doesn't say anything that is particularly alarming, and, with a few exceptions, there isn't much in it […]
Vegan Diets and Irritable Bowel Syndrome: The FODMAP Approach
One of the most frequent questions I get through this website is about the low-FODMAP diet. This popular approach to easing symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) eliminates (at least initially) many plant foods. It's definitely a bit of a challenge for vegans, but may be worth it if you suffer from IBS. The […]
New Vegan Nutrition Primer on Iron
Iron deficiency anemia is a serious and common public health problem for people eating all different kinds of diets.

Will a Vegetarian Diet Make You Depressed?
The recent article in Women's Health Magazine about the "scary mental health risks" associated with meatless diets has—not surprisingly—received lots of attention.

Lettuce and Bacon and the Environment: Some Thoughts for Vegan Activists
Is lettuce really worse for the environment than bacon? That's what the latest headlines say, based on findings from new research at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.

Hello Craig, >What's stopping you from doing this in a Filter already Until your post yesterday, I didn't realize the ServletInputStream retrieved by servletRequest.getInputStream() from Filter.doFilter() isn't read unless explicitly asked for by client code. Thanks for that valuable information!! However, I am looking for a generalized solution that will work with a servlet container behind a web server. I'll prototype something the way you describe just for fun, but I doubt I'll find a real-world use for it outside my sandbox. Another point is that many sites aren't able to use the Servlet 2.3 spec yet (including mine :(), so near-term portability could be an issue. I'm not so concerned about that, anyway, as I am your point re: this would only work if the servlet container isn't behind Apache HTTPD or some other web server... Once again, thanks for the valuable feedback! I have been a fan of your work for some years now. Sincerely, Eric H.

It will work fine in any pure Java environment (like standalone Tomcat), where the body of the message is not consumed until the application asks for it.

Michael Clarke confirms retirement from international cricket
Australia captain Michael Clarke has announced he will retire from international cricket after the final Ashes Test at the Kia Oval.
The announcement of Clarke's impending retirement came seconds after England regained the Ashes with an innings victory in the fourth Test at Trent Bridge.Clarke struggled badly with the bat in what has turned out to be his final Test series, averaging 16.71 with a top score of only 38, although he had previously suggested he was keen to continue playing.
He was Australian Test cricketer and current Australian cricket team Test captain. He was also the Australian ODI cricket captain until his retirement from ODI cricket after the 2015 Cricket World Cup. He is a right-handed middle-order batsman, an occasional left-arm orthodox spin bowler and also a slip catcher.
Test: Batted in 197 innings of 114 matches and scored 8628 runs of which 329 not out was his highest score
ODI: Batted in 223 of 245 matches and scored 7981 runs of which 130 was his highest score.
T20Is: Batted in 28 of 34 matches and scored 488 runs of which 67 was his highest score.

India's Inflation Drops
Thursday, India's inflation rate for the week ended March 28 fell to 0.26% from 0.31% a week before. The inflation rate stood at 7.75% for the corresponding week of the preceding year, data released by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry say.
Going by provisional figures, the wholesale price index or WPI for all- commodities was unchanged at 227.3.
Inflation, based on the wholesale price index, increased due to higher prices of dolomite, felspar, fruits and vegetables, maize and some manufactured products covered under all-category groups.
The final estimate of inflation for the week ended January 31 was lowered to 3.98% from the earlier provisional figure of 4.39%.
The main index for primary articles declined by 0.3%, due to lower prices of fire clay, iron ore, chromite, linseed, copra, tea and fodder. However, prices of dolomite, felspar, raw rubber, barley, barites, steatite, raw cotton, ragi, fruits and vegetables and maize moved up.
The index representing fuel, power, light and lubricants was unchanged at its previous week's level of 320.9.
The index of Manufactured Products rose by 0.2%, due to higher prices of benzene, enamelled copper wires, imported edible oil, cotton yarn-cones, hessian cloth, cotton yarn-hanks, malted food, rice bran oil, oil cakes as also gingelly oil increased, while prices of PVC resins, pigments, sugar and newsprint declined.
Commenting on the inflation data, Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Deputy Chairman, Planning Commission, said the figure is very much in control, and not going through the roof. The government has already provided two stimulus packages, and RBI measures of cutting rates and easing reserve norms have already pumped in over Rs.3 lakh crore in the economy.
Peter Redward, Director, Head of Rates Research, Emerging Asia, Barclays Capital, says the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) may cut rates by 25 basis points this time.
A Citibank report says that food prices will stay high this year, though the consumer price index slid below 10% to 9.6% in February and the wholesale price index threatens to go sub-zero.
Citibank report added that the prices of essential food items, such as rice, wheat, pulses, fruit and vegetables would come down from last year's peak levels, but remain above the levels in 2005, when the global economy was booming.
Rohini Malkani, economist at Citigroup India, said there was no room for complacency, as food prices could remain sticky. This is because the agriculture sector was reeling under tighter credit that could hamper expansion of farm output and lead to low global stocks. The Food and Agricultural Organization has projected a decline in global production of cereals and a 27% increase in food prices.
The Indian Meteorological Department's first estimate of the monsoon is expected later this month. The monsoon will play a vital role this season. If any concerns emerge about the monsoon, the repercussions would be seen in prices, Mehul Agrawal, commodities research analyst at Sharekhan said.

text: Hi Forum ! I have downloaded the OEM version of Windows off the internet. I know for a fact its the OEM version because the manufacturer's code told me its an OEM version as I googled that code up. Now, I didn't activate the OEM version because I don't have a product key. So, I purchased my Retail version of Microsoft Windows 7 Professional from Amazon. Now for my question: The Retail version of the Windows I have purchased will come with a Retail product key. Can I use that Retail product key to activate my OEM copy of windows that I have installed on my system ? Or do I have to do a complete format and full installation off the Retail DVD that will come with it ?

The notion of "current committers are not used to working together" is a red herring. You're already working with the community at large. It has nothing to do with the current set of committers. I would recommend coming up with, say, a list of four people and submit that list to pmc@incubator for consideration. How about by end of week? If you don't want to do this, then let's hear a discussion about why. My previous emails on this subject have gone unanswered. :-( Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/

In many classes, coaches prefer to take players who are tremendous size-speed athletes and teach them how to play football, either in general, or just at a different position than they are used to. And it's against that backdrop that the Longhorns landed Naashon Hughes, the linebacker from Harker Heights and the younger brother of current Longhorn offensive tackle Camrhon Hughes.
When Naashon first received his grayshirt offer from Texas, it was an understandable proposition. Here was a guy with a great frame who could run, but who played a deep, almost centerfield safety position for his high school team. It was difficult to tell what kind of football player he'd become.
But then Hughes came to Texas's camp at 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds, and he ripped off a 4.44 40-yard dash. And he spent this entire season at a more natural position of linebacker, making more of an impact and showcasing just how tantalizing that size/speed combination can be.
Hughes is still working at his new position, and his instincts could use work. He doesn't always diagnose correctly, and he either hesitates or takes false steps too often. But put him in man coverage, and he can perform in that role better than most other outside linebackers. And ask him to blitz the quarterback off the edge, and even though he doesn't have an assortment of pass-rush moves, his blazing speed is more than a handful for the average tackle.
Hughes will start his career at outside linebacker at Texas, and if he can grasp the nuances of the game, he has a chance to be an outstanding player. Because there are few players out there who have his natural gifts.

|Last updated on October 31, 2006
Forward Pass (1965–1980) was an American Thoroughbred Champion racehorse who is the only horse in the history of the Kentucky Derby to have been declared the winner as the result of a disqualification.
Owned and bred by Calumet Farm, the colt was trained by Henry Forrest. Racing at age three, he won several graded stakes races including three very important U.S. Triple Crown prep races: the Everglades Stakes, the Florida Derby and the Blue Grass Stakes. The betting favorite going into the 1968 Kentucky Derby, Forward Pass finished second but winner Dancer's Image was disqualified to last place after traces of phenylbutazone were discovered in the mandatory post-race urinalysis. As a result, Forward Pass was declared the winner. The controversy over the first (and still the only) disqualification of a Derby winner filled the sporting news of every media outlet in North America and was the cover story for Sports Illustrated magazine who referred to it as the sports story of the year. It was revealed that Dancer's Image had been plagued by sore ankles and on the Sunday prior to the Kentucky Derby his handlers had a veterinarian give the horse a phenylbutazone tablet, a pain killer commonly used to relieve inflammation of the joints which was legal at many race tracks in the United States but not at Churchill Downs. However, it was still a legitimate practice as the medication would dissipate from the horse's system during the six days before the Derby. When the horse's post-Derby urinalysis revealed the phenylbutazone, his shocked owner and handlers believed someone else may have been motivated to give the colt another dose of the drug and they filed an appeal of the disqualification. The Kentucky State Racing Commission examined the matter and ordered distribution of the purse with first money to Forward Pass. Their decision was upheld in April 1972, by Kentucky's highest court in case #481 S. W. 298. In a subsequent decision, the Commission ordered that Forward Pass be considered the winner of the 1968 Kentucky Derby and that his owners were to receive the Derby's gold cup.
Any doubt about the ability of Forward Pass ended with his six length victory in the much anticipated rematch with Dancer's Image in the Preakness Stakes. As the third leg of the U.S. Triple Crown approached, the Derby controversy raged on. A victory by Forward Pass in the Belmont Stakes would make him the first Triple Crown winner in twenty years and many fans, experts, and racing commentators felt he would be an illegitimate champion. In the Belmont, Forward Pass finished second by 1½ lengths to Greentree Stable's colt, Stage Door Johnny, a horse who had not raced in the Derby or the Preakness but who had been specifically bred and conditioned for racing at longer distances.
Despite his outstanding performances in 1968, only one of three polls voted Forward Pass Champion 3-Yr-Old Male honors. The other two organizations voted for Stage Door Johnny. Retired at the end of the 1968 racing season to Calumet Farm, Forward Pass was sent to stand at stud at a breeding farm in Japan. He died there in 1980.
Even today, controversy and speculation still surrounds the 1968 Kentucky Derby and The New York Times [1] calls the ruling the "most controversial decision in all of Triple Crown racing." The use of phenylbutazone was subsequently approved by Churchill Downs in recognition of medical research that showed it does not enhance a horse's performance.

What if you discovered you have been entrusted with an invisible, invincible, and incorruptible weapon? Would you use it? Move beyond only study and begin to wield the Word of God!
"If you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one!" - Jesus
If there ever was a time for women to be armed, it's now.
Yet the Word of God is a sword we often are more comfortable studying than wielding. It's time we give girls swords and watch them connect heaven to earth. Worldwide, women are the targets of prejudice, sex trafficking, abuse, and even gendercide. Lisa Bevere writes that these attacks say more about who women might be in the future than who they have been in the past. In Girls with Swords, she explains a spiritual enemy is seeking to disarm women on every level. It's time women become the heroes God created them to be and stand - courageous, discerning, forgiving, and wise.
Creatively forging the imagery of swords, the Word of God, and the Cross, Girls with Swords will teach you:
It's time to take up your sword and be a hero.
©2013 WaterBrook Press (P)2013 Oasis Audio
"We can be the heroes in our day what the Heroes of faith were in their day."
I highly recommend this book. It's about boldly carrying the cross for Christ. Knowing that you are a target for the enemy because you are destined for great things. Learning how to fight with your sword, and use it effectively against the enemies plans to throw you off course. It will empower you, prepare you, and wake the warrior that is in you already. As you read it, a seed of transformation will begin to grow. You will become the mighty warrior you were destined to be.
Janet Baker
"Life changing!"
I love that Lisa reads the book herself! Just bought it for my daughter and all my dearest friends.
"Learn how to use your sword against the enemy"
This was good. I liked the empowerment it gives to ladies as they stand against the enemy. Read this book.
"Another pratical book..."
written from a biblical perspective to help women fight the good fight. I've listened to this twice already and I'm sure it will go beyond that. Looking forward to reading more by Lisa Bevere.
"I feel empowered."
I didn't read anything particular that I didn't already know as a long time Christian, but still found the book to be life changing. I have a lot more confidence and feel better equipped to be a prayer warrior.
"Powerful Insight."
This Book read by Lisa gives life experiences that help us Learn how to wield our God give Sword of the Spirit as we come against the forses of darkness.
"loved it.."
Good message need to listen to it twice 😊 to soak it in and apply it
"Powerful and inspiring"
This book is full of the power of God's truth. Love the idea that we need to learn the language of Heaven.
"Love love loved this book!"
Lisa has such God given insight and beautiful imagery!! This is a book I would read again! This is the first book by Lisa I have read and it will not be the last! Pick up your swords girls!

Specialists' Role Declines At NYSE Arca for Options
Traders Magazine, January 2008
NYSE Arca, in the latest of a series of moves that diminish the stature of its options specialists, or lead market makers, proposes to reduce their quoting requirements. Under the proposal, which needs Securities and Exchange Commission approval, the exchange would require lead market makers to quote two-sided markets only 90 percent of the time. That is down from a current 99 percent. At NYSE Arca, 11 lead market makers and 26 "regular" market makers support 2,100 options series. The 55 regular market makers are required to quote continuous two-sided markets 60 percent of the time.

Remember when you were a kid and first stepped inside a moon
bounce or bounce house? The excitement you felt as your feet landed
on the soft, squishy floor and the freedom that came from jumping
as high as you had every jumped can never quite be replicated.
Today's bounce houses have gone to the extreme and places such as
Jump!Zone, Monkey Joe's, PartyTime and Pump It Up are giving kids
of all ages the opportunity to bounce through rooms filled with
themed-inflatables that jump the birthday party celebration to an
entirely new level.
"Kids get to run, jump, and slide all over the place," says
Davora Sides of Pump It Up. "Who doesn't love that?" Not many kids
would balk at the chance to have free reign in a party area where
fun obstacles and challenges abound and their playground is
literally a room filled with soft, bouncy surfaces and parents love
the idea of letting kids be kids in a location other than their own
home or yard. While most inflatable party locations offer packages
that include party rooms, dedicated party hosts and even snacks and
drinks, there are numerous ways you can make the most of your party
Safety First
Although the floors and walls are soft, safety is still a
primary issue when it comes to having an inflatable party. At Pump
It Up, guests are shown a brief safety video before the party
begins that clearly outlines all the rules of play. And at
Jump!Zone, those rules are reinforced throughout the party. "As
kids tend to have a short memory span, we train each of our staff
members to remind our young guests the importance of the rules
throughout the party in case they forget, " says Scott Soeder of
Jump!Zone. Make sure parents of all your guests are informed of the
rules as well-even if that means asking them to stay during the
beginning of the party as the rules are being explained.
Be Date Flexible
As with most birthday party locations, inflatable parties fill
up fast especially during the key weekend hours, so be sure and
book your party at least 4 to 6 weeks ahead of your intended date.
In addition, ask if there are any 'off hour' party times. Pump It
Up offers "Early Bird" (Sat/Sun 9AM), "Late Night" (Sat 7:45 or
later and Sun 7 PM or later) and weekday party options.
Personalize It
Don't miss the opportunity to make your party unique and shining
the spotlight on the party boy or girl. At Monkey Joe's, the
birthday party kid gets a sticker to let everyone know it is his or
her birthday along with the opportunity to sit in an "awesome
birthday chair" and have a poster signed by all the guests. Also,
if you have a separate party room available where you can serve
food and open presents, ask if you can bring in your own items.
"Parents can bring in their own custom birthday cake as well as
their own paper plates and decorations," says Soeder. And some
parents have taken the decorations to the extreme. "We had a
jungle-themed party where the mom packed the party room with
inflatable animals, trees, etc. It was amazing," says Sides.
Ask for the Upgrade
At Pump It Up, almost any traditional party package can be
upgraded to include pizza, drinks, goodie bags and balloons. Monkey
Joe's will actually offer you a variety of 'themed' paper plates,
napkins and cups. And, PartyTime Palace in Des Plaines allows you
to order balloons or piñatas directly from them and has an amazing
selection of food options that includes kosher pizza, spaghetti,
nachos and salads. Although most upgrades will cost you a little
extra, they will save you tons of time and planning. In addition,
be sure and ask if the location of your party has any partnerships
with outside vendors such as pizza restaurants or ice cream
parlors. If they do, they will often have discounts available if
you purchase food for your party.
Make the Memories Last
No party is complete without a great parting gift for your
guests. While many locations offer gift bag options, you can also
use this as an opportunity to add yet another personal touch to the
party. Give guests water bottles with their names or gift bags
filled with things that will remind them of the birthday party boy
or girl. And, for a final reminder of the fun, take pictures of the
kids as they are jumping for joy during the party and send photos
to them with the thank you card.
Inflatable parties are a great one-stop shop for the perfect
birthday celebration-for kids of all ages. With just a little
advance planning (and remembering to ask the right questions), your
next birthday party experience will have even you jumping for

It is difficult to measure the success of counter-terrorism efforts.In multiple reports to Congress, senior officials have emphasized the number of arrests and disruptions as a way of indicating success.But that is just one component of a measurement system necessary to properly evaluate the effectiveness, efficiency and results of the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) efforts.
Measuring success in the war on terrorism requires an understanding of the terrorist's operational environment.Many people have used body-count and kill ratio, two traditional military measurements to gauge the war on terrorism.Others have used the number of terrorism attacks as a measure of the success against terrorism.However, these measures may play a role but do not clearly cover the scope of DHS.
Example: The number of significant terrorist attacks in the United States of America, or on Americans worldwide for 2003 was 208. In 2004 the number went up to 651.In and of itself, this is an important fact but it does not represent the entire picture.
James Jay Carafano, Ph.D., a senior research fellow for defense and homeland security at the conservative think tank, The Heritage Foundation, came up with the following list of measures for the war on terrorism.
- Number of Taliban-style states created since 9/11: 0
- Number of countries that have recognized al Qaeda: 0
- Number of nations that have adopted "state-sponsored" terrorism as an official policy: 0
- Number of states that have voluntarily given up weapons of mass destruction programs since 9/11: 1
- Number of transnational nuclear smuggling networks broken-up since 9/11: 1
- Number of Middle Eastern states that have moved closer to democracy: 5
The question is: How do you measure an organization like DHS? The answer is, you start at the process level.The core processes used to achieve the organization's stated mission became the foundation for a management and measures system.A core process is a collection of participants, activities, events and measures that complete a function which adds value to the enterprise.
Key process attributes:
- Activities
- Events
- Triggers
- Outcomes
- Measures - mechanisms that quantify critical performance.There are multiple types of measures:
- Process measures - assess where you are within the process
- Results measures - measures the outcome of a process
- Quality measures - measures errors
- Metrics - measurement
units that quantify
volumes handled within a
process, and has to have the word "per" in the
- Participants
- Systems
Before jumping in and developing all sorts of metrics, the leadership team must define the overall approach.Once the groundwork is set, the next step is to identify the right metrics/measures to track the organization's progress toward its organizational goals.In order to design a proper measurement system we first must examine the vision, mission and strategic goals set by the organization.The following represent those areas for DHS.
VisionFor simplicity let's just look at the two primary areas for DHS - prevention and protection.These two areas equate to approximately 76% of DHS activities and budget for FY 2004.Careful consideration must be given to the design of a metrics and measures system.Improper or imbalanced measures can often create bad behaviors and gaming of the system.
Preserving our freedoms, protecting the US ...we secure our homeland.
We will lead the unified national effort to secure the US.We will prevent and deter terrorist attacks and protect against and respond to threats and hazards to the nation.We will ensure safe and secure borders, welcome lawful immigrants and visitors and promote the free-flow of commerce.
Strategic Goals
Awareness - identify and understand threats, assess vulnerabilities, determine potential impacts and disseminate timely information to our homeland security partners and the American public.
For example, for the DHS, if you were to measure the number of persons arrested without an opposing measure like the number of persons whose arrests were upheld and remanded for trial, or those convicted - you could create a situation where arrests were being made without clear, valid and credible reason to improve the appearance of success.
The ideal is to implement a "balanced performance scorecard" throughout the enterprise, because that framework helps foster alignment between all the individual operational components.The scorecard structure contains three major categories - effectiveness, efficiency and results.Careful attention has been given so as not to have an imbalance that promotes bad behaviors or gaming of the system.
Once the metrics and measures are identified and collected, the analytics process begins.Key performance ratios along with balancing formulas and trending data are all reviewed and the results prepared for management's review.The ways in which data is collected and analyzed must be documented so that the context of the information is understood by decision makers.Detailed analysis of these performance metrics allows management to fine-tune operations, efficiently apply dollars and align a disparate organization around common goals.The final report must include a summary of current conditions and background, followed by the conclusions from the analysis as well as the balanced performance scorecard graphic representation.
Balanced performance scorecard is a strategic management process that must be used to assess the effectiveness, efficiencies and results of any organization.There are numerous tools that have been created to help organizations automate the process of creating, maintaining, and reporting scorecard results.
You get what you measure! If the metrics and measures scorecard is properly constructed, it can drive integration and collaboration across all the individual entities now operating under the umbrella of the DHS.However, many organizations, particularly government entities, tend to shy away from their performance being measured.Implementing a balanced performance scorecard within DHS will be significant challenge.The fight against terrorism and homeland security is so important maybe it is time for this to be required.

A guy in Florida was at the beach with his family over the weekend, just south of Daytona Beach. And while he was away for a little bit getting his kids ready for a nap, two women tried to steal his beach umbrella and all his kids' beach toys. He caught them in the middle of it, and decided to have some fun with them.
