It seems as though we had a bit of a kerfuffle on our hands over the weekend.
On Friday night, Megs posted pictures of two bags as the last in our 12 Days of Bottega Veneta series. The bags were made of crocodile and depicted with Wally the Stunt Alligator, a resident of the Everglades Holiday Park in South Florida. Note: Wally was not harmed in the making of this (or any other) post.
Despite that, reactions to the photos were decidedly mixed. Some people found them beautiful and thought provoking, while other commenters left messages on the blog and Facebook that ranged from "unacceptable" to "perverted." With reactions that disparate and opinionated, we couldn't help but have an official Blog Debate. (more…)

It seems that Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone just can't get enough off each other – on screen anyway.
The pair, who played lovers in 2011 film Crazy, Stupid, Love and 2013's Gangster Squad, are at it again in upcoming film La La Land.
Entertainment Weekly have released the first still from the movie, due to be released in July 2016, and they look as adorable together as ever.
The film, which is directed by Whiplash's Damien Chazelle, is described as an old-fashioned musical set in contemporary Los Angeles and tells the story of a romance between a jazz pianist and an aspiring actress.
Ryan, 35, and Emma, 27, are seen dancing together at LA's Griffith Park in the cute image, which was apparently inspired by popular musical Top Hat.
'There's an incredible romanticism in L.A. that you don't always see when you're stuck in traffic on the 405,' Damien says of the snap.
'I wanted to make a big love letter to the city and focus on that push and pull that all young artists experience, between dreams and reality, which old Hollywood musicals are so good at expressing.'
Ryan and Emma hit it off massively after starring in Crazy, Stupid, Love and say they love working together, so it's no surprise that they've teamed up again.
'I want to work with Ryan, a lot, if he'll have me,' Emma told Collider back in 2013.
Meanwhile the Drive star, who has a daughter with his long-term partner Eva Mendes, has joked that Emma owes him money and 'the only way I can try to get that back is by doing movies with her.'

Davis Merritt: Differences need not outweigh shared values
I've been thinking a lot the past few days about Gerrit Wormhoudt, "Gerry" to many who knew him. It's an unexpected reminiscence because he died four years ago, but I'm sure it's entered my consciousness as pieces of shrapnel flying out of the mortal political and cultural combat that dominates America's public life.
For almost 25 years, Gerry and I worked together, he as the lawyer who kept me, as a newspaper editor, mostly out of legal trouble – and more than once out of jail – because we shared the conviction that the First Amendment means what it implies: Freedom of the press is fundamental to American democracy.
We shared other things, including a fondness for Italian food, red wine, the beautiful women in our lives, Thomas Jefferson, and rigorous but civil discussion.
But we were fundamentally different in political orientation and background: upbringings, education, religion, early life experiences. If one must label his political philosophy, I suppose he was libertarian, though he never so proclaimed to me. I was what many people might label liberal – except, that is, for real liberals. Our views on such things as the value of public education, the proper role of government, economics, constitutionalism and even the designated hitter rule were not merely different but irreconcilable.
Over those 25 years, many hours of daytime professional dealings and much off-hours private discussion converted neither of us, but we became great friends. Conversion on all things wasn't a prerequisite to our accomplishing the things we jointly needed to accomplish. The values we shared could be preserved without sacrificing the values we did not share. Our relationship continued into our "retirement" years, though I no longer benefited from his legal guidance and he no longer collected retainers.
Through the '70, '80s, '90s and early aughts, neither of us thought there was anything odd about our friendship, though a few of his more conservative friends and a few of my more liberal ones may have. But I've been wondering these last few days if such a productive relationship between radically different people could take root and prosper in this second decade of the 21st century when ridicule, sarcasm, condemnatory and dismissive labels, and lack of restraint dominate and poison our political conversation.
Antidotes to those negative instincts are available in the psyche of everyone save the tiny minority of the hopelessly pathological, but these days are ignored by too many. That we were able to work and socialize together for decades didn't make us heroic or even remarkable. We valued our shared goals enough to allow the positive markers of a productive relationship to outweigh the allure of the easy negative markers.
In retrospect, those positive markers included:
Patience and tolerance.
Not applying labels to the other's beliefs.
Trying harder to understand the other's beliefs than to change them.
Distinguishing the genuinely important factors and events in our relationship from the trivial or merely symbolic, and not allowing the latter to detract from the former.
Take those markers along with you on your next exposure to talk TV or radio, your next trip to the blogo-sphere, or even the watercooler, and as you read the next report about ideological gridlock in Congress. Measure what you hear and read by those markers, then imagine what could be accomplished if the dynamics were different.

In any room or setting, the atmosphere is everything. It can be quite unbearable always to have to withstand a stuffy atmosphere. The good news is that it doesn't always have to be like this. A functional air conditioner is all you need to enjoy the air around your home or office. The stress pattern begins when you have no idea what to do about a broken AC. It is even worse when it's only there to grace your room. Once you have it installed, it is important to note that it will not always be in its best condition.
Call an Expert
It is not necessary to sit around and watch your air conditioner get out of hand. The digital era has made it all the more easy for us to contact the real experts. The case gets out of hand when you don't even realize it's broken. When you lead such a busy lifestyle that you don't pay attention to what's happening around you. This is not something that can't be resolved promptly. The experts will go out of their way just to ensure that everything is back to normal.
Years of Practice
Contrary to popular beliefs, AC repair is not just a matter of fumbling for some wires. The experts can attest to the fact that there is so much more to it than that. What's more, years of experience is guaranteed to polish up on what's required. This is especially so when you bear in mind that there are various types of ACs. Each one needs specialized and professional attention. Only the experts with many years of experience would have an in-depth understanding of how they are to be handled.
Genuine Certification
Of course, it is not possible to trust AC specialists with no certification. The essence of checking on the certification and license is to know whom to report to in case of grave damage. Failure to having genuine certification will only prove that the company or individual in question is not capable. It takes courage and focuses to find such quality services to rely on. It gets even better when they are always there at your every beck and call.
Prompt Services
It is entirely up to you to act fast when you notice a problem with your AC. Ignoring it and hoping it will go away will only ensure that the case gets even worse than you expected. At the same time, it is a relief when you have a reliable AC repair company to take on the task appropriately. Prompt services are priceless to any client who values quality. Not to mention that you won't have to search far and wide just to find what you're looking for.
The Online Fad
Nowadays, most businesses are adopting the way of the internet. It would be almost impossible to have your products and services noticed without a stable and reliable platform. Take advantage of it and ensure that you find sites that will point you to the best AC repair services in the field.

I am more than happy to alter text and design elements while we're working together on your cover, but beyond several rounds of alternations–or after a client-approved cover or interior has been finalized–there is a fee. My base hourly rate is $40/hr with a minimum of $20, plus possibly the cost of new stock photos in the case of covers. So, for example, if we've finalized your cover and then you change your mind about something, or you want to make additional changes after approving your interior book layout, it's $20 if I spend under a half hour on it; after that, I bill in fifteen minute increments.
This is not just to protect my time but that of my other clients; I want to give each cover the attention it deserves while still keeping my prices down, and infinite alterations on one cover cuts into the time I can spend on others. This is not a fee that is added without prior notification on my part or request on yours–there will never be hidden charges on your final invoice.

A North Dakota woman sentenced to life behind bars for murdering her pregnant neighbor so that she could keep the baby admitted she cut the infant out of the 22-year-old woman while she was still alive.
A judge on Friday handed Brooke Crews the life sentence without possibility for parole during a hearing that for the first time detailed the grisly death of Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind, of Fargo.
Crews in August lured her downstairs neighbor into her apartment by requesting her help with a sewing project. Prosecutors said the pair argued and that Crews pushed LaFontaine-Greywind to ground, knocking her unconscious.
Then, using either a "utility knife or a blade," Crews cut into LaFontaine-Greywind as she faded in and out of consciousness and removed the infant from her womb. The young mother eventually bled to death, prosecutors said.
Crews' 32-year-old boyfriend, William Hoehn, told police he came home the night of August 19 to his girlfriend cleaning up blood in their bathroom.
"This is our baby," she told him. "This is our family."
Authorities found the newborn in the couple's apartment and kayakers later discovered the body of LaFontaine-Greywind wrapped in plastic in a river.
Ashton Matheny, the baby's father, said learning how his child was born and how his girlfriend died "tore him apart." He attended the Friday hearing with his baby girl, who he named Haisley Jo.
LaFontaine-Greywind's mother, Norberta Greywind, also addressed the court, explaining how their family had to move from Fargo following the brutal slaying.
"I miss her laugh. I miss her so much," she said. "My heart is literally broken. I find myself looking through pictures and videos. Brooke Crews befriended us. She was monitoring our daily routine. I still have nightmares. I cannot accept that someone had done this to my daughter. For someone to do this to another human is beyond evil."
Family and friends of LaFontaine-Greywind, who was Native American, sported red during the hearing to honor murdered and missing indigenous women, People reported.
Crews on Dec. 11 pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit kidnapping, conspiracy to commit murder and giving false information to police.
Norberta Greywind held back tears over the course of the emotionally charged sentencing, but said she was happy with Crews' sentence — the toughest one she could have received.
Hoehn, who told police he disposed of garbage bags containing bloody shoes and towels, is facing the same charges. He pleaded not guilty to all three and his trial is slated for May.

Magnolia is getting a serious foothold in Spain, thanks to Alvaro (Magnolia employee) and our good relationship to the Spanish government, an early Magnolia Enterprise client. Here is a screenshot of one of the leading content management sites, ecm-spain.com, with a 50 minute podcast interviewing Alvaro as the top entry on the site.
Other good news from Spain include the imminent founding of Magnolia España to further strengthen our presence in the Spanish and South American markets.
When we released Magnolia 2.0, our whole company went to Barcelona for a weekend - this time, we are going to stay for good.

Now that EQ has gone free to play, wondering if anyone is interested in forming a once a week steady group? Any retired or active players interested?
Figured that we could work on either hanging quests or camps that were left over from when you were playing. I don't have the last two expansions, and I imagine most of the other retireds don't either. I think the last one I bought was the Underfoot one - and played like... maybe 3 hours in it! hah hah.
If anyone is interested... can post here I guess. With day preferance Sat or Sun. I can make either work. Of course I won't be around This Sat/Sun or the Saturday following - as we are going to Kauai this Saturday for a Week.

In the movie, "The Mission", Jeremy Irons plays the role of the missionary entering the Amazon to spread the gospel and civilize the savages. Viewers can recount the amazing trials and tribulations that the missionary went through to reach his lost flock in the jungle. He climbs up a waterfall with nothing but a knapsack and calms a tribe of hostile natives by playing his oboe. With time and unbreakable conviction, he raises the mission and the quality of life for the savages and an errant Spanish conquistador guilty of fratricide. Even the unbeliever will marvel at the determination of this missionary and his accomplishment. In the course of Western history, he was simply one of many to help colonize and civilize the untamed New World. The missionaries carried an unflinching resolve to lead a moral religious life and ward off the evil influences of barbarism present in both native and European cultures. Now that times have changed, modern secular educational institutions must assume these duties or watch the progress of the human spirit deteriorate.
The school needs a mission that fights the pernicious influences that abound in the world and at home. This has not always been the case in American society, but times have changed. A surprisingly large amount of parents have abrogated their parenting duties to instill morality in their young ones. Children today grow up without a code of ethics, a sense of the honorable, or an ideal. Atrocities that occur more frequently in the news confirm the deterioration of character; to name a few: school shootings, gang shootings (Chicago has more than 22 students killed on a school campus), student brutality, rising teen pregnancy, and unmitigated drug abuse. People shouldn't make the mistake of likening today's miscreants with lovable fabrications of Mark Twain, stupidly quoting, "Kids will be kids." While they are still human, adults have let youth become morally barbaric (for lack of a better word) because they neglected their obligation to civilize. Reasons for this may happily fill the lucubrations of any periodical or blog, but the schools are the ones who need to cope with this challenge.
Unfortunately, many schools and educators will not acknowledge this challenge. This would naturally require more accountability and more energy than the current mission of most schools: Keep 'em in the building and make sure the pass that stupid state test. The challenge of civilizing children would require schools to adopt measures that assume a new authority that oversees the academic and moral growth of each individual student. Schools shudder at all these measures because most of them have adopted "one-size-fits-all" approach that somehow leads to college. This approach is cheaper, easier to implement, and much easier to define. If any aberrations occur, usually among the extremes on the intellectual spectrum (the brilliant and the slow), the parents would normally supplement the school's glaring inadequacies. Parents would also address the moral education of the students as well. Now that parents do not take on either of these responsibilities, schools must now adapt like missions had to adapt to the natives and take up the responsibilities themselves.
Successful civilizing measures contain these elements: flexible curriculum that allows alternatives for blooming adolescents, a discipline system that actually corrects behavior, and some indoctrination of values. All three elements feed into the other. A student freely and happily determines his fate when given the opportunity (alternatives) and the training (discipline). This student can embrace this training in usefulness and civic responsibility by having a strong set of priorities and values (indoctrination). Almost every successful educational institution in the world follows these three precepts, and it's time that the United States follows suit.
Naturally, instilling these three aspects will meet with some objections that, however deleterious, hold sway in the educational conscience of the United States. People argue that promoting each of these parts would somehow diminish equal opportunity as advertised by the present educational system.
Detractors will say that creating alternative tracks prematurely posits a social hierarchy that denies an all-including route to higher abstract education. They overlook the fact that many students do not need to go to college for what they choose to do in life. They also hold a quixotic assumption that all students can do college work, which they cannot. This one-track goal, weakly held by students and educators alike, actually limits the freedom a person can choose in their profession and simply wastes time and money for an end that could be reached at an earlier time.
Similar objections are used in implanting a discipline system that corrects bad behavior. Detractors will claim that this should be done by the parents. They will also claim that actively correcting a person's behavior might hurt their self-esteem and traumatize their educational experience with exaggerated personal anecdotes aplenty. Above all, they will always question whether the behavior even requires correction. However, schools uselessly rely on parents who in turn rely back on them for discipline, so the school still has the problem. Correctional measures will always overrule inaction or temporary isolation. Bad behavior usually spawns from a low self-esteem and often serves as an indicator that the child indirectly craves real (not fake) encouragement that comes with a correction in behavior. Harmful or disruptive behavior endangers the student as well as the students around him or her. Their education suffers; their view of school suffers (humans naturally desire order over chaos); and they suffer from emotional and sometimes physical distress. Both academic and social problems should be addressed with discipline that can correct it. As everyone averts their eyes, the disruptive students will either wreak havoc on a classroom, or they will be taken away and sent through a disciplinary system that further abets delinquency and eventually leads to a life in the penitentiary. This situation should never even arise if it were fully addressed early in life.
Modern citizens of the United States have learned to shudder at the word, indoctrination, especially in the context of their children. However, there is really no better way to describe the process of creating a moral and academic foundation for a developing human bring through constant and unremitting exposure. In some cases, parents believe that such a drastic move in creating an objective good and bad in a person limits the poor kid's freedom, so they go ahead and spoil their offspring, hoping daycare or school can do it for them. In a majority of modern situations, the child will often lack a responsible parent, let alone two parents, to indoctrinate them in a wholesome moral upbringing. In any case, parents forget to realize that this formative part of a child's upbringing will come from some other source if it doesn't come from them. Many adults shun their duty to inculcate virtue; children now receive their indoctrination from undesirable outlets like videogames, Internet, televisions, or thugs on the street.
The school now serves as a bastion to culture and tradition whether people care to acknowledge it or not. These cultural and traditional values that have brought civilization's greatest achievements should rest in the mind of every developing adult. Like missionaries that viewed savagery and faced it with absolute purpose, educators must now face a new savagery devoid of consciousness and responsibility and face it with the same resolve. In the past, the wills of missionaries helped society ascend from the Dark Ages. In the future, the wills of teachers might need to prevent a frightening return to those Dark Ages.

When you travel are you the sort of person who takes and takes pictures of everything? Or do you consider yourself a bit "stingy" with the picture taking?
I'm a bit on the stingy side. I've no idea why, I think it is a left over from the times of developing images and the high prices that came with it. I also think "why take so many pictures if in the end, they're just going to lay there in the computer.
Today I'm showing you a bit of my "Copenhagen album," what inspires me and what I tend to take pictures of when I'm traveling.
Royal Copenhagen. I love ceramics and pottery, especially dainty ones.
Royal Smushi Cafe.
The view from the top is always the best, or so they say. On sunday Judith dragged me up 400 steps at the Vor Frelsers Kirke.
What about you? What kind of images make you think "what on earth was I thinking when I took this picture?" I know there are plenty of those in my hard drive.
Today I'm heading out again. But this is not an impromptu trip, one that has been 10 months in the making. I will tell you more about it when I get back.
Enjoy your Monday!

STFS Registration Requirements
Conditions of Joining a Foundation Training Programme
(Note: This is NOT an offer of employment.)
On accepting an offer to join a training programme in South Thames Foundation School I agree to meet the following requirements throughout the duration of the programme:
1. I will always have at the forefront of my clinical and professional practice the principles of Good Medical Practice for the benefit of safe patient care.

The circumstances, which contributed to the phenomenal rise of Adolf Hitler as well as National Socialism in Germany during the period 1924-1941 from relative obscurity to a frenetic Volksbewegung appears to be an issue of some debate. However, most probably the culmination of a multiplicity of interrelated factors generated an environment in which an entire European nation was swept away by the tide of Nazism.
Unfortunately, Germany's cultural heritage provided fertile soil for the roots of Nazi ideology. They helped shape its ideological image mobilizing the support of a heterogeneous socio-economic strata, in an European country crippled by the depression. Furthermore, Weimar's weak foundations, opposed by basic social institutions and riddled with the inherent weakness of the constitution as well as political parties, created a climate in which Hitler's unique form of blood-and-soil nationalism flourished. Coupled with a favorable turn of events for the Nazis and also Hitler, it culminated in his election as Chancellor in 1933. The instant implementation of Gleichschaltung gradually followed, thus enabling the Nazi leader to cement his position as the dictator of a totalitarian European state. As a result, the creation and consolidation of Nazi power was over. During the period 1924 to 1933, voter support for the Nazi party surged from 3.5% of the total vote, to about 43.9%, thus making the ultra-conservative NSDAP the dominating party in the Reichstag. This quick rise in voter support points out to a crucial characteristic of the Nazi party as a powerful social movement. Contrary to the conclusions of some historians, including Theodore Geiger, who postulated that the voter support for the NSDAP descended from a homogenous base of lower-middle class support, the statistical analysis of Reichstag elections showed that the Nazis turned to be were socially heterogeneous.
The reasons behind the popular support of this anti-liberalist, right-wing movement are quite debatable, although it's most likely that the willingness of the NSDAP to shift position on policy issues, enabled them to mobilize the strong disaffection of millions of Germans from all classes as well as political backgrounds. The myriad promises made by Hitler and also the true success of the propagandistic activities engaged in by the Nazi party greatly spurred the support of all socio-economic stratums.
The circumstances, which contributed to the phenomenal rise of Adolf Hitler as well as National Socialism in Germany during the period 1924-1941 from relative obscurity to a frenetic Volksbewegung appears to be an issue of some debate.

The mobile developer responsible for deer-hunting, robotic-policing, and eternal-warring is getting into the Diner Dash business.
Glu Mobile, which makes Deer Hunter, Robocop, and Eternity Warriors, announced that it has acquired Diner Dash developer PlayFirst for a $12 million all-stock deal. This brings the full lineup of Dash properties as well as PlayFirst's development team under Glu's control. This adds another popular brand to its stable of properties, which will help it continue its recent success that is largely driven by the big bucks its free-to-play Deer Hunter releases are making. The deal will also have Glu taking on approximately $3.5 million of PlayFirst's debt, and it will likely close in May.
With over 750 million downloads across all of the Dash games over the last 10 years, Glu can build on the success of the franchise will also adapting it for today's more lucrative business models.
"We believe the acquisition is an interesting opportunity, as Glu is buying intellectual property with historical value that didn't make the transition to free-to-play but still could with Glu's expertise," Cowen & Company analyst Doug Creutz wrote in a note to investors.
That expertise includes bringing established brands like Deer Hunter to mobile and turning it into a massive free-to-play success. Creutz notes that the Deer Hunter acquisition "paid off handsomely" for Glu.
This move also represents Glu's continuing efforts to move away from bigger, flashier games to brands that players respond to.
"It's entirely about the power of the franchise and the teams behind them," Glu chief executive Niccolo de Masi said.
Glu finished the first quarter of 2014 with a $133,000 profit, which is up from a $5.5 million loss in the same period of 2013. That's with revenues of $47 million, which is the largest in Glu history. Now, with PlayFirst and Diner Dash in hand, the company is expecting even better result for the rest of the year.
For the full year, Glu is anticipating profits of $5 million to $6.7 million on revenues somewhere between $155 million and $161.5 million. That would represent a growth of 37 percent to 42 percent year over year.

1. Maps Make You Smarter
Maps make a great reference tool. When maps are lined on your walls, over time you memorize their contents. When the news hits, instead of having to familiarize yourself with the world, you know exactly where a particular city is and which country borders it. My husband says he credits his great memory for geography to having a map on his wall as a child. He is able to point out any country with ease, where as I have more trouble with it. In my home, maps were in books, and they only surfaced when my school work needed to reference it. Maps help children learn about the world. Over time they memorize what they see. Instead of lining their walls with cartoon characters, make their room look aesthetically pleasing to the eye, while educational at the same time. On Kids Room Decor, we give some great ideas of decopaging your childrens dressers with world maps, which give a personalized effect. Children also learn that the world is a big place than their view point of their small neighbourhood that surrounds them. Seeing how small their hometown is compared to the rest of the world can help them grasp world events and a higher level of geographical knowledge than other children their age. No matter how old you are, our knowledge of geography can always be improved. It is never too late.
Country Living Magazine features a home that displays antique maps
2. Framed Maps Are Aesthetically Pleasing.
Antique maps can add a touch of elegance and charm to any room. If you love the look of a balanced interior, like minded prints can do just that. Just like a wall of framed black and white prints, gray scale maps give some detail and depth to a room without feeling overwhelmed.
Alternatively for a more modern look, maps with slight colors can add some color into a room. Any print can be blown up at your local print shop, which gives you the control to blow up one map or copy a map that you have always loved which you can then frame. The bright colours of a map can bring life and color into a room. Work with your existing colors and find prints that work in the same color palette.
Everyone's Poster sells large scale poster picture frames wholesale.
An alternative to world maps, can be framed maps of locations that a person has toured, or would like to tour. Framing maps of locations that you would like to see serves almost like a goal written down and in your face everyday.
3. Maps Bring Conversation to Life
World maps can instantly draw people in to look at them, making them a perfect talking point for company to gaze upon. Even when people in a room, at a gathering may not know each other, maps can unite strangers and act as a catalyst to start a conversation. Maps are something a person never tires of. Antique prints of the city of Paris and Washington DC are astounding to look at. Studying the world globe is something that will keep you entertained for a life time. It is interesting to see how each of the continents fit together like a puzzle piece, when you look at the globe. It has been something I have pondered for many years. Wholesale Frame Source features some of the nicest frames at whole sale discounts. Consider looking up the words Map lots on ebay for large discounts, instead of buying them separately.

The FlisKits 14th Anniversary launch was great fun as usual. Because of the summer-long drought, and very dry conditions at Woodsom Farm, the launch was held in Berwick. There were sunny skies, and temps in the 70's. It was a bit windy which limited some flights. Only one of my foam cup rockets made it to the pad and that one never made it off the pad. But other than that a great day to fly. There were 185 total launches, with motors ranging from MMX to K, and a cluster if 3 CTI I motors by Al Gloer. There were three L1 certification flights, with at least two being successful.
But is was Jim's day. No launch fee courtesy of FlisKits. He had drawings each hour for kits or T-shirts; contest for the most FlisKits launched; the annual Frick-n-Frack drag race - and cake! Thanks Jim!
Lots of pictures in the Gallery.

~ Recycled Goat and Sheep Feeders ~
I had wanted to make some hay bags out of heavy duty fabric but didn't have the time or room to get out the sewing machine so I went to plan B. I made a grid with duct tape first and then cut out the squares. The goats loved it and can't just throw all of their hay on the ground.
I made mineral and supplement feeders out of some heavy duty plastic bottles too but didn't bring the camera down to take pictures at chore time. This smaller dish soap bottle made the perfect kelp container for the chickens.

May 20, 2010 - The International Symposium on Multidetector-Row CT held May 19 in San Francisco, Calif., hosted the "Workstation Face-Off," which challenged providers of advanced 3-D image processing technologies to process and interpret three complex computed tomography (CT) imaging studies.
This year's studies included CT colonography, a cardiac case and assessment of liver lesions. Carestream Health analyzed all cases on its PACS workstation. The other providers used dedicated 3-D processing stations or servers, some of which employed specialized processing hardware.
The Carestream PACS workstation can be used for visualization and analysis of volumetric MDCT data. The solution has disparate processing and image analysis tools integrated into its PACS workstations. The native 3-D software on the PACS is designed to enhance efficiency, as workflow is streamlined since radiologists do not need to go to dedicated 3-D workstations.
"Carestream PACS saves me time, since I don't need to move either the images or myself to a dedicated post-processing workstation," Michalle Soudack, M.D., head of pediatric radiology at the Edmond and Lily Safra Children's Hospital in Israel, who presented cases for Carestream Health during the event.
In addition, the company's PACS architecture enables 3-D and other advanced features, along with its intuitive user interface, to be used on any workstation inside or outside the facility.
Advanced processing capabilities on the platform include automatic abdominal and cardiac vessel segmentation capabilities and automatic registration of volumetric exams. It has maximum performance running (MPR), maximum intensity projection (MIP), MinIP, volume rendering and complete vessel analysis. Other features includes cardiac application, virtual colonoscopy, PET-CT, mammography and orthopedic-templating applications.

The technologies obtainable to the generations preceding this generation pales in comparison to the technologies accessible to this generation. Regardless of the reported savagery of the American Indian, their lives, history and ultimate demise have often been a fascination, coupled with a disgust at the way invading forces have butchered and robbed of land many indigenous tribes across the planet down by means of history.
In Garber's class, students have been introduced to gender concerns via research and discussions, then students developed projects that were grouped as either data projects or activist interventions. Harold Noah and Max Eckstein-they define comparative education to be a discipline at the intersection of the social sciences education and cross national study. Unless explicitly stated, these stories do not represent the views of Teach For America as an organization.
Student Studying – Student understanding is every thing from different pathways to graduation, encouraging student voice in student finding out, and encouraging them have a place at the table for bigger conversations about their education (Lisa Nielsen's Innovative Educator weblog that focuses on student voice).
Even from a moral standpoint, a single could argue that education is a sort of universal right since it gives human capabilities," in the words of economist Amartya Sen-the-important and individual power to reflect, make alternatives, and steer towards a much better life.
Though cultural pluralists in art education argue that Western mainstream art is neither politically nor ideologically innocent, we tend to embrace the art of other cultures as if it were harmless, failing to examine its politics and ideology (Collins & Sandell, 1992, p. 9).
Hillary will perform to dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline by delivering $2 billion in support to schools to reform overly punitive disciplinary policies, calling on states to reform school disturbance laws, and encouraging states to use federal education funding to implement social and emotional support interventions.

The second Incident Management Workgroup meeting of the 2016-2017 project year was held on September 26, 2016. This meeting was used to approve the workgroup goals introduced last month. The workgroup approved three goals for this year, listed below.
- Strengthen local health department partnerships with Colleges and Universities, K-12 schools, and local businesses as they relate to preparedness and incident management;
- Improve and increase chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear defense (CBRNe) preparedness; and
- Provide leadership, guidance, and direction to NACCHO and its partners on products, program, policies, and procedures related to incident management and public health preparedness.
One upcoming activity for the third identified workgroup goal is to review and communicate the updated and soon to be released National Incident Management System (NIMS) refresh.
The Incident Management Workgroup addresses topics related to the use of NIMS and the Incident Command System (ICS), the Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) Capability Three: Emergency Operations Coordination, and incident specific issues, such as those related to CBRNE. The membership of the workgroup consists of local health officials and public health preparedness professionals. For more information, contact Chelsea Gridley-Smith, NACCHO staff lead for the Incident Management Workgroup.

We are in the last campaign stretch and I am asking readers to help for the following, while informing of other activities:
1- Caracas event next Sunday. I cannot attend. But I would like very much to publish pictures from readers in Caracas attending. So if you are going to attend let me know so we can figure out ways to publish pictures you may be able to mail me live. NOTE: I cannot publish all and any picture because a) my internet in San Felipe sucks and b) we do not want to make the page too heavy for other victims of Venezuela's bad internet. So I will ask you to chose the pics you will send me for publication.
Also, I would like very much to have someone in EACH starting point, in particular a soul brave enough to march in Oeste part, not because of its danger but because it is the longest part.
If you plan a live tweet or facebook of your Sunday, let me know so I can advertise your tweets.
2- I will do a live tweet from the formal final closing ceremony in Barquisimeto. More details on that later. I am organizing my schedule as I may have my own press card :) We may even do a group picture of readers that may attend.
3- I am also considering a VN&V exit poll. For it to be meaningful and to be ready to publish at 7 PM a result of "tendencia" we need to have an observer in at least 25 voting stations. If you or one of your friend or relative is in a polling station let me know so we can work out a system. It does not matter whether you are a Capriles witness or an actual "miembro de mesa".
Communication would be through a safe new tweeter account to be provided. If you have no tweet we can manage an SMS system but I would prefer not as less safe in Venezuela. You can be the link between me and the witness or miembro de mesa if you can find one.
The contact will give me one tweet at opening time to confirm that installation went well and how many people are indeed registered at its voting station.
A second tweet around noon as to how many people have already voted.
A third tweet when your voting station closes.
A last (?) tweet when you know Capriles and Chavez total.
If needed additional tweets if your table is audited or if some trouble were to happen.
Of course, I will not reveal anything of the polling station info you will be attending.
I will be doing the math as results arrive, for participation etc... Note, it does not matter whether you are in a pro Chavez or pro Capriles district: what I will watch is whether the opposition vote increased since 2006 and whether the shift indicates a possible Capriles victory. Example: you are in El Cafetal where Capriles CANNOT lose. In 2006 the results were 80% participation 80% for Rosales. Well, if October 7 there is 85% participation and 85% for Capriles then this is significant although not definitive. But worry not, I will do the math.
As you may imagine this is a lot of work to set on my side (special tweet and gmail accounts, excel tables for each center, excel tables for total results, etc, etc...). So, before I get started on it I need to know by Monday if indeed I can get at least 25 people to inform me. No more than 5 overseas, by the way.

We get this question every day. Investors are doing everything possible to figure out if this bull market is really long in the tooth or if it there is room to run before the next correction. No one knows the answer and there are as many opinions out there. As you might expect, we have some thoughts of our own on the subject, and we share them with you in this brief post in the hope that our perspective will give you a fresh way to look at this all-important question.
Let us say at the outset that timing market peaks is dangerous business. As the old saying goes: when timing your exit from an asset class, it doesn't hurt to be a few hours early, but don't be a minute late. When it comes to the real estate business, it's probably measured in months rather than days, but the results can be just as disastrous if your timing turns out to be bad. So, we take the question seriously and tend to look at it from a cautious perspective. Yes, we are here to help you make the most of your real estate investments, but we are also in the business of evaluating risk and preparing for the unexpected.
So, where exactly are we when it comes to this real estate up-cycle from a pricing point of view?________________________________________________________________________
The answer to that varies substantially depending on product type. Office sales prices are still slightly below the previous peak, but multi-family and retail product is substantially above the previous peak in 2006-2007. Without anything else figured in, the logical conclusion is that office properties have more upside potential than retail or multi-family. But, when other variables are factored in, the picture becomes more opaque.
The reality is that each product type and each market are influenced by a variety of value-changing conditions. Take multi-family product as a prime example. Rents in gentrifying areas throughout San Diego County have risen the fastest, driving cap rates to historic lows and price per square foot to an all-time high. The millennials who rent in these areas have a different lifestyle and have different ideas about home ownership, cars, food, recreation and overall lifestyle. Quite simply, they live in a different world with different priorities than the preceding generation. As a result, they will pay more for location, convenience and proximity to the amenities of their choice. That has been a major contributor to rapidly rising multifamily rents and the resulting compression in cap rates.
Does that mean the multifamily market is near a natural peak because it has seen the most appreciation? Not necessarily. However, rock-bottom interest rates that have resulted from US Federal Reserve Bank's monetary policy have also given multi-family pricing a boost of its own. Cheap money has expanded the pool of active buyers and sent demand soaring. So, there is some logic to the assumption that cap rates will move in the other direction when the Fed reverses its current course.
The office investment market has also moved much higher, but is still below the previous market peak. Rents have grown substantially since the recession ended, but vacancy remains high enough to keep a more even balance between tenants and their landlords than in the multi-family market. Local entrepreneurial companies are leveraging new communication technologies and workplace designs to use less space when they relocate. Cloud-computing, wireless networks, smartphones, laptops and tablets all allow for the free movement of workers both inside and outside the office. This has resulted in lower net absorption and that, in turn, is keeping rent growth in check. However, older, well-located buildings are being re-purposed by add-value buyers to meet the growing demand for creative space designs that command higher rental rates. Even traditional office users like those in the legal services sector are embracing this trend, but are doing so, in part, to occupy less overall space. Ground-up development of office space is nominal, and high land prices along with rising construction costs will keep construction near current levels moving forward. So, the market is unlikely to experience overbuilding as it did before the Great Recession began.
Office building owner with the resources to reposition their assets to meet current trends will see the best rent growth.
Those who do not, may see net operating income flatten out and values decline if cap rates move off their historic lows.
Should you sell your San Diego investment property soon? The answer to that question depends on your unique circumstances, including but not limited to your tolerance for risk, willingness to realize a taxable event and your long term portfolio strategy. As commercial property experts, we stand ready to assist you in any way possible to help you make the most informed decisions possible.

Today, I'm starting a fun challenge: Week in the Life! That means I'll be attempting seven days of blogging in a row. OY! Let's see if I can manage it. Ha. I heard about the challenge from a few bloggers who participated, but it seemed more like a scrapbooking exercise than anything else. Then, Kelly did it on her blog last week and, I figure, if a working mother with a full-time (teaching!) job can do it, I certainly can. Sure, my life may not seem very fascinating to other people. I lead a quiet, low key life. But, you know, why should I let that stop me from documenting it? It's still my life and I quite enjoy it and I think it'll be interesting to look back on this. I've always enjoyed writing (and reading!) "Day in the Life" posts, so this will be a fun journey, I think. I hope you guys enjoy – here's what Monday looked like in my world:
morning // My alarm goes off at 5am and I slowly get up, get dressed, take Dutch on a short walk, and then go for a short run. (Well, more of a walk. I'm in week one of Couch to 5K, my 9,584th time through this program, and it's a lot of walking right now.) I get ready for work, pack my lunch, make my breakfast shake, and then commute to work, all while listening to a Book Riot podcast. At work, I get coffee, chit chat with coworkers, and then get my day started. I answer emails, transcribe meeting notes, and then start working on a keyword plan. (120 keywords to source. Yikes!) A little after 10, I get hungry and that's when I realize I left my lunch in my car! Chaos! I run down to the parking garage to retrieve it, then make a mid-morning snack of raspberries and a granola bar.
afternoon // I stop for lunch a little after noon. (Santa Fe Chicken!) I eat lunch while catching up on blogs. My afternoon seems to fly by. I finish up the keyword plan, and then edit and send off monthly content to one of my clients. And, before you think I was 100% productive, I got majorly sidetracked by funny conversations with coworkers and then working on an email for my mom about our Savannah trip. Before I know it, it's 5:30 and it's time to go home! We had major thunderstorms roll through in the afternoon, and it's almost pitch black outside when I leave. Weird! I commute home while listening to Christmas music.
night // I arrive home, take Dutch on a short walk (it's still raining and he's not a fan!), and then make dinner. (Another Skinnytaste recipe – baked chicken nuggets.) I watch an episode of Hell's Kitchen (this season is so meh! I don't even have a favorite chef I want to win.) and then an episode of Brooklyn 99. After that, I clean up, take a bubble bath, do my nightly routine (brush teeth, wash face), and then snuggle in bed with Dutch and my book. A few minutes of reading and then lights out by 9:30!

Wow, I was at the board meeting a few months back when a bunch, I do mean a bunch, of parents were a hooping and a hollering about some "injustice" being done on their beloved cheerleaders. Suffice it to say, I'm not a huge cheerleading fan. Cliques, is an understatement, and I will expand upon that later. At the board meeting, which I actually spoke at, giving a thumbs up on our water polo endeavors, though things can change ever so quickly, and they have, and more on that in another post. There is an article in the Tribune about parents up in arms about a student that was allowed back into the squad, though she did not make the tryouts this year. I'm still not clear on the whole issue, one, even why it's an issue. The big deal (IMHO) is a policy was changed for one girl, who's parents apparently made a stink, and the rest of the team and their parents were up in arms over that policy change by the board.
The student in question was awarded the position based on her previous membership in the program and her following elimination at tryouts. The ruling changed the policy retroactively, at Principal Donna Rovigno's discretion, and was upheld by Associate Superintendent Paula Almond.
So, why am I here, why do I even give a rats patootie? Well, some parents have filed a law suit against the school district. OMG!
David and Maria Paulus brought a Level III grievance against the district following the addition of a varsity cheerleader five months into the year. According to the Pauluses, the addition was a violation of the handbook, which states that all members must try out, regardless of previous position on the squad or class level.
Mr. Paulus states in the article, "'You are virtually crippling this person, because they now believe that they can get whatever they want, despite rules," said Paulus. "We want to teach our students life lessons," he said." Dave Martin, school board president says, "I want inclusion. These aren't 25-year-old women that need to be taught a lesson. When we went down this path to making smaller learning communities, we gave students the opportunity to be involved." And Dan Huberty also says, "Our focus as a district is to be inclusive and let children participate. Has there been harm done?" I have to totally agree with both of these board members.
I also like to use the saying, "don't sweat the small stuff." Based on what our students, teachers, parents, administrators and district have been going through, to bring a law suit to this district, only intensifies and exacerbates our problems. The parent goes on to say, "Harmony of the team has been shaken this year," said Paulus, and added that cliques had been formed as a result of the controversy. Um? The harmony has been shaken because a student that had previously been on the team didn't qualify, but was put on the team anyway? I'm sorry, but this sure smells of a bunch of whiny parents. Of course, I don't know the whole story, but based on what I've seen and what I've read, these people need to get a life. I may be a bit blunt, but with our economy, schools in crisis, teachers and positions being eliminated, great programs being cut, this seems a bit petty. And even when I was in high school, seems cheerleading and cliques were synonymous, weren't they, and aren't they still?
Yeah, many will argue that this was, maybe, not right. Some were hurt and maybe an injustice was done. But to the degree of a LAWSUIT? And unfortunately, the Tribune misspelled Ms. Rovegno's first name, for the record it is Dania!

...We lay there & looked up at the night sky & she told me about stars called blue squares & red swirls & I told her I'd never heard of them. Of course not, she said, the really important stuff they never tell you. You have to imagine it on your own.
Does this do to you what it does to me?
Hope it does =)

About Us
Home | About Us | Need Assistance? | Get Involved | CoC Application
Since 1995, the Long Beach Health Department has led the Long Beach Continuum of Care (CoC), a local planning body funded by HUD that coordinates housing and services funding for homeless families and individuals. It is the second largest of the four CoCs in Los Angeles County.
Led by the Long Beach Health Department, the Multi-Service Center (MSC) facility houses 12 public and private partner organizations working together to promote self-sufficiency and rebuild the lives of those experiencing homelessness. Annually, the MSC averages 26,000 client visits, making this facility the primary point of entry for persons seeking homeless services assistance in Long Beach. Services range from basic amenities of shower, laundry, mail and message center, to street outreach, van shuttle, transportation, medical care, mental health services, substance abuse treatment, HIV/AIDS services, integrated case management, and housing coordination. The mission of the MSC is to provide comprehensive supportive services to promote progress towards permanent housing and self-sufficiency, by creating a community where health, safety, and well-being are established.
The Long Beach Health Department conducts homeless enumerations every two years during the last Thursday of January. Collecting good data on the number, characteristics, and service needs of individuals, families, and unaccompanied children experiencing homelessness is a critical component of local homeless planning and program development. Accurate data helps the Long Beach CoC to understand changes in trends among homeless populations; adjust the types of programs and services available according to need and use resources as efficiently as possible; comply with reporting requirements; and measure community progress towards preventing and ending homelessness.
Everyone Counts! 2019 - January 24, 2019
The City of Long Beach, Department of Health and Human Services (Long Beach Health Department) will be conducting the ninth biennial homeless enumeration on January 24, 2019. The biennial survey will require more than 400 agency staff and volunteers to conduct the citywide street and service-based count process. 2017 Homeless Count Comparison 2019 Homeless Count Fact Sheet and Volunteer Registration
The Long Beach Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is a computer application that records client-level information on the characteristics and service needs of homeless persons served by the Long Beach CoC. HMIS is a valuable resource because of its capacity to integrate and unduplicate data from homeless assistance and homeless prevention programs within the CoC. This technology helps the Long Beach CoC to improve service delivery, better understand homelessness, and evaluate the effectiveness of services.

Them, 2Pac, and Outkast were my main jams before I discovered Industrial in the late 90s
Noier wrote:new Czarface album is cool (as always), but kinda short
It had been nearly a decade since Rakim released new music, but that drought ended Friday when the godfather of rap lyricism and one half of the revered duo Eric B & Rakim released a new song, "King's Paradise." The track was written for Season 2 of Marvel's Luke Cage, which premiered on Netflix the same day, but it wasn't entirely new to select NPR staff; they heard it days earlier when the God MC performed at the Tiny Desk.
The New York rap icon wasn't the only legend in the building that day. Ali Shaheed Muhammad of A Tribe Called Quest — who produced and co-wrote "King's Paradise" with keyboardist Adrian Younge under their new project The Midnight Hour — played bass, and rising blues torchbearer Christone "Kingfish" Ingram sat in on guitar.
"King's Paradise" pays homage to the heroes of the Harlem Renaissance as well as its fictional superhero, the bulletproof Luke Cage. Rakim tipped his hat to Philip Payton Jr., Joe Lewis, Lena Horne, Malcolm X, Maya Angelou and Louis Armstrong, before concluding with a few bars about the comic book-inspired series.
Younge then led the nine-member backing band through two of Rakim's undeniable classics: "Paid in Full" and "Know the Ledge." For the former, drummer David Henderson rolled right in with the unmistakable breakbeat, — originally sampled from The Soul Searchers "Ashley's Roachclip." Muhammad, who's been playing bass since age 19 despite being known for his production and DJ work, provided the low end for "Know The Ledge."
Rakim released his first single 32 years ago, yet the timbre of his voice and Dali Llama aura remain strong. Let's hope this is the beginning of another renaissance.
Set List
"King's Paradise"
"Paid In Full"
"Know The Ledge"
Rakim (vocals), Adrian Younge (keys), Ali Shaheed Muhammad (bass), Jack Waterson (guitar), David Henderson (drums), Loren Oden (vocals), Saudia Mills (vocals), Angela Munoz (vocals), Stephanie Yu (violin), Bryan Hernandez-Luch (violin), DeAndre Shaifer (trumpet) , Jordan Pettay (saxophone), Joi Gilliam (vocalist), Christone Ingram (Kingfish) (guitar)

Abby O'Neill wrote:The Wu-Tang Clan gathered at the Tiny Desk to commemorate the 25 years since the release of the group's landmark album Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). With more than 60 albums between the various members, The Clan's combined discography left them spoiled for choice when it came to narrowing down the set list for their performance. The result was an extended, 20-minute medley of songs from across the group's iconic catalog.
The retrospective mashup of Wu classics started with the posse cut "Triumph." Backed by strings (The Green Project), the performance morphed into an old-school cipher as Raekwon, Inspectah Deck and Cappadonna traded verses with Masta Killa and U-God. Young Dirty Bastard, son of original member Ol' Dirty Bastard, provided a spark of energy reminiscent of his father.
At one moment in the performance, RZA — the mastermind behind the Clan's success — omits some explicit lyrics from earlier in his Wu journey, while alluding to the #MeToo movement mid-cadence. But it's the poetic interlude, read from his phone at the close of the set, that better reflects his current state of consciousness. "Wu-Tang is for the kids!" RZA proclaims. The core of the group began as childhood pals in Staten Island in the early '90s, when the crew's creative philosophy was influenced by everything from Saturday afternoon kung-fu flicks to the spiritual wisdom of the Five-Percent Nation. As they've matured, Raekwon still describes the Wu as "superfriends." They've allowed each other to grow and form various offshoots in recent years. But when the Wu-Tang Clan comes together, they still bring a love for the culture and for their brotherhood.

Browns linebacker Craig Robertson has signed his exclusive rights free agent tender with the club.
The transaction was disclosed by the NFL on Monday.
The 26-year-old Robertson started 14 games at inside linebacker in Cleveland's base 3-4 scheme in 2013, recording 85 tackles and three sacks. Robertson and Karlos Dansby project as the Browns' primary inside linebackers when the club employs 3-4 looks this season.
A North Texas product, Robertson signed with the Browns' practice squad in December 2011. He has notched 178 tackles, recorded four sacks and intercepted three passes in the last two seasons for Cleveland.
