Liverpool made their opening bid, of £7 million, in writing to the Uruguayan side on Monday as Kenny Dalglish seeks to complete a sixth signing of the summer.
Though that bid has not yet been accepted, Nacional are believed to be prepared to sell the player for that price should no other suitors crystallise their interest.
Coates's father, Peter, and his agent Matias Pittini have been granted permission to discuss personal terms with Liverpool and initial reports of those talks are extremely positive.
Nacional, though, are adamant they will not make a final decision on whether to accept Liverpool's offer until they have established whether the player – who trained in Montevideo yesterday – is happy to move to Merseyside and whether a more lucrative bid may be submitted.
As well as City, a Ukrainian side – believed to be Shakhtar Donetsk – have also registered an interest in the player, who impressed in Uruguay's victorious Copa America campaign last month, but Coates is thought to favour a move to the Premier League. He is believed to be keen to join international team-mate Luis Suárez at Anfield.
Dalglish is keen to strengthen his defensive resources after Greek defender Sotirios Kyrgiakos left for Wolfsburg on a free transfer and 6ft 6in Coates, 20, is seen not only as another quality addition but also a sound investment for the future.
Though Roberto Mancini has tracked the 6ft 6in centre-back for several weeks and though City have held preliminary discussions with the Uruguayan side, they have not made a formal bid.
Sources at the Etihad Stadium have confirmed, though, that the Italian will be given no more funds once the deal to sign Samir Nasri from Arsenal is complete.
That would appear to place Mancini on a collision course with the club's Football Administrator Brian Marwood.
The Italian has made it clear he would like at least one more signing, though with the capture of Stefan Savic earlier this summer, a centre back would not appear to be a priority.
That would leave Liverpool as Coates's most realistic destination, as confirmed by Nacional's vice-president Hector Olmes .
"The offer is very good," he told the radio station Sport 890. "Coates will surely go to Liverpool."
The midfielder Dani Pacheco on Tuesday underwent a medical ahead of a season-long loan move to the Spanish side Rayo Vallecano.

Xu, Kai and Yu, Qi and Liu, Qing and Zhang, Ji and Bouguettaya, Athman (2011) Web service management system for bioinformatics research: a case study. Service Oriented Computing and Applications, 5 (1). pp. 1-15. ISSN 1863-2386
In this paper,we present a case study of the design and development of a Web Service management system for
bioinformatics research. The described system is a prototype
that provides a complete solution to manage the entire life cycle of Web Services in bioinformatics domain, which
include semantic service description, service discovery, service selection, service composition, service execution, and service result presentation. A challenging issue we encountered is to provide the system capability to assist users to select the 'right' service based on not only functionality but also properties such as reliability, performance, and analysis quality. As a solution, we used both bioinformatics and service ontology to provide these two types of service descriptions. A service selection algorithm based on skyline query algorithm is proposed to provide users with a short list of candidates of the 'best' service. The evaluation results demonstrate the efficiency and scalability of the service selection algorithm. Finally, the important lessons we learned are summarized, and remaining challenging issues are discussed as possible future research directions.

Clinical neuropsychology is a branch of psychology that specializes in the assessment and treatment of patients with brain disease, dementia, or injury. During an evaluation, a battery of standardized cognitive tests is administered to study the relationship between the brain and behavior. Depending on the referral question, our clients are typically evaluated in the areas of complex attention, executive function, language, learning and memory, social cognition, and perceptual and motor functioning. The goal of neuropsychological assessment is to help the client, his or her family, and the referring provider understand how the changes in cognitive functioning are impacting everyday life. Completed reports include a diagnosis, results of testing as well as specific, individualized treatment recommendation.
In conjunction with neurological assessment, neuropsychological evaluations are used to diagnose the following major or minor neurocognitive disorders:
- Alzheimer's Dementia
- Frontotemporal Dementia
- Lewy Body Dementia
- Vascular Dementia
- Traumatic Brain Injury Dementia
- Substance/Medication Induced Dementia
- HIV or Prion Related Dementia
- Parkinson's Dementia
- Huntington's Dementia
- Medical Condition Related Dementia

You Won't Distress in the Right Dress
Unless you live your life like a Bond movie character, then you have probably had few chances of spending a night in a real casino. And small slots digs you could go to in your sweat pants do not count for obvious reasons. But let's say your company decides to give its employees a real treat and take you all on a team building weekend at one of the fanciest and most luxurious casinos. Do you wear regular clothes, search through your wardrobe and your friend's wardrobe for something that feels right or do you hit the mall? Here are a couple of dos and don'ts.
7 Tips on How to Properly Dress for a Casino Night
1. Whatever you do, don't wear your regular clothes
And by this we mean the clothes in which you do your shopping, you pick up your kids or you run errands. If we are indeed talking about a special occasion, be it an invitation from your company, a vacation, a trip done on purpose, an event organised in the area which gives you the opportunity to spend a night at the casino, don't minimise it by wearing your daily clothes!
It doesn't matter how laid back you are, you still need to put some effort into it. Take our advice and we guarantee you'll look stunning!
2. Do some research on the place
Remember how you felt every time you showed up to an event overdress or underdressed? When you either sat there, feeling like an overly embellished Christmas tree next to casually dressed people, or wearing comfortable clothes while others were rocking cocktail dresses and suits? Although we hope you do not have such memories to tap into, we are certain that this happened to you at least once. Make sure not to add the memory of this event to the batch.
Some places mention whether they have a specific dress code. In other cases, it is the event organisers who can mention this in your invite. Double and triple check on this. If the event is out of town, you will have to pack accordingly.
3. You can't go wrong with a little black dress
Not even if you try really hard! The little black dress is the secret weapon any woman should have in her wardrobe. It will go with any type of casino, be it formal and elegant or decadently luxurious. You can move around, gamble and constantly look like you are ready to attend that after party everybody is whispering about in corners.
4. Finally! A good opportunity to wear that low-cut or that backless dress!
Yes, once you've made sure that the dress code calls for something glamorous and sexy, go for it. However, keep in mind what your intentions for the evening are. If you want to wear a deep cleavage, wear it with elegance and avoid the tables where you might have to constantly stand up and lean forward.
These places are a bit decadent, indeed, but you don't need to put them on the map for unintentional indecent exposure.
A backless dress would be more appropriate as it does not come with such a high risk of revealing everything. It is elegant and maybe a bit too bold to wear at a wedding or a business or family affair. Therefore, perfect for a casino night! The die has been cast!
5. Yes! to the sparkly details
If you do not feel like wearing a dress, you can still go for shorts, a short skirt or a fitted jacket, if they have something that makes them good for the occasion. Well-applied sequin can make any such item stand out and be perfect for the event.
6. A jumpsuit – the compromise between elegance and comfort
We kind of felt bad calling the jumpsuit a compromise, since it is such an amazing option. It is just as elegant as a dress yet much more comfortable than one. Choose something dramatic and classy.
You can rock an androgynous outfit and wear a suit. Pay attention though, this is not the type of suit you might wear to work, though. We are talking about that sexy pant suit you only wear to special events. The one that is well-tailored, that makes you feel like a million bucks. And if you are planning on entering the ranks of the rest of the high rollers, maybe this is the attire for you!
Remember! It's a casino, not a club! You need to be elegant-sexy, not club-sexy. Always check the dress code for the place or for the event, wear heels and make sure your hair looks great. Nothing stands out worse in a casino than unkempt hair.

There's a reason the media rarely is portrayed in popular culture. Where the government, the military, the police and criminals can all be portrayed as proactive forces, the media is very reactive. As such, they can be portrayed as easily manipulable, lazy, elitist, pretentions or just plain bothersome to those who actually have good honest work to do. This leads to the media taking a lot of flack in popular culture but, interestingly, most negative portrayals of the media end up saying far more about the creators and editors than the reporters they skewer.
1. Battlestar Galactica – "Final Cut"
"Battlestar Galactica" was a great show with a mess of storytelling problems, namely some of its more fascist tendencies. The show never had much tolerance for the pacifistic, meddling media but nowhere is this clearer than in the second season's "Final Cut." There, the Galactica excepts a well known journalist to make a newscast about the men and women who keep the battleship running. Of course, the reporter, Diana, turns out to be a Cylon, solely interested in collecting intel about the surviving humans. Its barely a twist and its a cruel one if you want to consider it that.
2. "Spider-Man"
J. Jonah Jameson doesn't speak too much of anything but necessity. There was a desperate need for Peter Parker to have a villain that was able to hold a candle to the villains that Spider-Man routinely faced and the biased editor of The Daily Bugle served just that role. Jameson's campaign against Spider-Man put Peter in a quandary and provided a solid enemy that was both untouchable and necessary.
3. NewsRadio – "The Real Deal"
NewsRadio had a lot too say about the vain, narcissistic, self-mythologizing and just plain mean men and women that made the news but it was always in service of humor. In one memorable episode, on-air columnist Bill McNeal, played by the late great Phil Hartman, has to nab a great interview to keep his show on the air. Naturally, his narcissism and inability to, y'know, talk to people, gets in the way of his interview with Jerry Seinfeld, so he gets creative in delivering his story.
4. Buffy the Vampire Slayer – "Earshot"
By season three, Joss Whedon had ironed most of the problems out of his supernatural teen soap opera but the flaws are apparent in "Earshot." Delayed because of the Columbine Massacre, Buffy becomes aware of someone planning a killing spree at Sunnydale High. The episode's great red herring is the slightly goth school newspaper editor, a guy who's writen nothing but negative, extremely pessimistic about the people and institutions of the school. Even when its revealed that he's not behind the plot, there's still an bitter taste left in the mouth.
5. Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Adam Jensen's been dealing with the very worst of global corporations and espionage by the time he heads to Montreal to find some answers. There, he's attacked by mercenaries and left to try to find newscaster Eliza Cassan who's been manipulating satellites to hide several people Jensen thought dead. In the world of "Deus Ex," its not that the media is innately evil, more that they can be bought and sold by anyone with the credits or enough strength to take what they want.
6. Mr. Show with Bob and David – Scams and Flams
Bob Odenkirk and David Cross had done their fair share of parodies of the emptiness and shallow reporting that characterized the daily news. One of their best was the "Scams and Flams" sketch, focusing on a gullible local features reporter sent to investigate businesses that might be scams. He's, however, bought off by a man running a wishing well/ice cream parlor. Mixing a parody of local news with one of gotcha journalism, its a dark and witty satire.
7. Blitz
Jason Statham vehicle, "Blitz" has a lot of incoherent things to say about police brutality, serial killers and stardom but its main message is one focused on serial killers wanting the fame that accompanies their killings. Its a popular belief, one that many conservatives have bought into as a way to assign a motive to shooters and the film makes the media complicit in the killer's crimes, feeding his actions.
8. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
J.K. Rowling's consistent portrayal of the Daily Prophet as a near faceless antagonist is one of the most troublesome aspects of her series. Where she turns writers such as Rita Skeeter into reporters more interested in an entertaining piece than a truthful one, she focuses most of his ire on the paper to their view on Voldemort. By "Order of the Phoenix," the Prophet has been reduced to a mouthpiece for the Ministry of Magic. The only possible explanation for her choice was laziness. With an inability to clearly show the government's denial of the dark lord's return, she blamed much of the propaganda on the Prophet, even reducing them to cartoonish villains willing to run a smear campaign.
9. That Mitchell and Webb Look – What do you reckon?
As newspapers and network news gasp against user created media and online news, they've attempted to integrate community feedback, often to insane levels. A fantastic sketch from across the pond, Robert Mitchell and David Webb set up a news team that wants to hear whatever the viewer "reckons" about nearly anything and they'll read it on the air just because they feel like they have to. As the sketch escalates, their boredom makes everything funnier, showing the ridiculousness of losing the professional line of separation.
10. Parks and Recreation – "The Reporter"
In the underrated first season of "Parks," Leslie's enthusiastic attempts to do something with the pit is thrown up against a never ending line of red tape. In "The Reporter" she faces the media as well as problems within her own team as Mark tells a reporter after sex that the pit will never be fixed. The episode affixes plenty of blame on the reporter for her unscrupulous reporting techniques and the Parks' departments mistrust of the newspaper continues well past the episode. I mean, they still really hate the library, but they're not in love with The Pawnee Sun.
11. Dr. Who – "The Long Game"
The problem with "The Long Game" is that the targeting of the media doesn't quite go far enough. After Rose and the Ninth Doctor jump far into the future, they come across a media outlet that's broadcasting programming for Earth in an attempt to keep the people of the planet complacent. Its kind of a weak plot, with a monster that isn't intimidating enough or make enough sense making it another not quite cooked relic of the Eccleston era.
12. 24 – "9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m."
After the first season of FOX's groundbreaking action series, viewers were left to deal with the international drama inherent in Palmer becoming president. The writers show their view of snooty, truth seeking reporters early when, after failing to bribe him, President Palmer imprisons correspondent Ron Wieland in a government facility. In the world of "24," you either let the brave, strong, patriotic men do their work or you're going to jail.

I hope that you all are having an awesome day!! Today I've got a new fangled manicure that I foresee being a big trend in the next couple of months! I know, I know it sounds weird but cat litter! It's cheap, easy to use AND if you get the scented kind or odor neutralizing kind you can just wave your hands in front of your face and BAM no stink!
To achieve the cat litter caviar manicure you need to paint your nails either with a clear or colored nail polish. I chose to use Revlon ColorStay in French Roast!
Make sure you leave your nails wet when you pour on the little! I just put my hand inside of Anya's big tub of litter and scooped some on and let it fall on my fingers! It adheres itself quickly and the polish itself will dry quickly!

Stimulate your brain :)
September 20, 2012 Leave a comment
Today I have found something that I think is a really good idea. Don't know about you but I often get a sort of writers (or even thinkers) block, especially first thing in the morning, so it's great to find something that can deal with that. There is a site called, 750words.com where you can go and write 750 words on anything. It's all completely private, it's not like a blog or Twitter. It just helps you to get all the morning, muddled, mess out of your brain so you can get going properly – you might even find the answer to some of the questions you have. Great!
I also have a couple of research things for you. You don't have to be doing your PhD to look at these they are very useful even if you are just beginning. I've mention Mendeley and Zotero before and if you get along ok with those that's fine but different people have different needs and I thought you might like to try Quiqqa. All of these programmes do similar things in slightly different ways – they manage your papers, your references, help you connect with other people interested in the same/similar subjects – all in all very helpful stuff.
Finally I must give my friend's new book a plug. If you're not sure about how or when to use social media in your research/academic work then have a look at this book written by Shailey Minocha and Marian Petre and published by Vitae Innovate, the research organisation. The title is a bit posh, "Handbook of social media for researchers and supervisors Digital technologies for research dialogues" but it has lots of good advice in it – go on have a look 🙂

OAKLAND, Calif. — Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr captured his 250th win on Saturday and then he took some time off on Monday.
During a timeout midway through the first quarter of a 129-83 win over the young Phoenix Suns — the team that drafted Kerr in 1988 with a second-round pick, and the team Kerr was GM of from 2007-10 — Kerr handed his clipboard to Andre Iguodala to run the huddle.
Iguodala sat in Kerr's chair breaking down the plays to his teammates while Kerr stood a few feet away with his assistants.
As the game continued, David West received a coaching nod in the huddle, as did Draymond Green, who sat out Monday's game with a sprained finger.
Coach Kerr takes backseat in Warriors' 129-83 win over Suns
Stephen Curry scored 22 points, and Golden State coach Steve Kerr tried to break up the monotony of a long season by turning the timeout huddles over to his players in the Warriors' 129-83 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Monday night.
Green ran most of the timeout huddles throughout the game.
Golden State (44-13) has won three in a row but had previously dropped three of four contests. Kerr said his guys needed to hear a new voice.
"I told them the other night after the last game [on Saturday] that we were going to do it," Kerr said. "It's their team. I think that's one of the first things you have to consider as a coach. It's not your team, it's not [general manager] Bob Myers' team, it's not [owner] Joe Lacob's team — although I'm not going to tell Joe that.
"It's the players' team, and they have to take ownership of it. And as coaches, our job is to nudge them in the right direction, guide them, but we don't control them. They determine their own fate and I don't feel like we focused well at all the last month, and it just seemed like the right thing to do. I thought they communicated really well together and drew up some nice plays, and it was a good night for the guys."
Across the league, players occasionally may run the huddle for a small portion of a timeout, but Kerr's decision to completely hand the reins over to players multiple times in a game was uncommon.
"It shows a lack of respect for an opponent, and maybe right now we don't deserve respect," Suns forward Jared Dudley told ESPN. "When you keep getting beat by 40, teams won't respect you. But it's up to us to change that."
Phoenix (18-40) has lost 11 of its past 12.
Immediately after the game, Kerr met with Suns coach Jay Triano on the court.
"I told Jay afterward that it had nothing to do with being disrespectful," Kerr said. "It had to do with me reaching my team. I have not reached them for the last month. They're tired of my voice. I'm tired of my voice. It's been a long haul these last few years and I wasn't reaching them, and we just figured it was probably a good night to pull a trick out of the hat and do something different.
"I thought the players responded really well. I just feel like when we're focused, we are really tough to beat, and tonight we were focused. And I think just having to count on each other, and not hearing my voice — which sort of sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher or parent or whoever's voice that is. At this point, that's what I sound like to them. So, they needed a different voice."
Triano took it in stride.
"I noticed their plays were a little better out of timeout tonight," Triano told ESPN jokingly. "Nah, I didn't have a problem with what Steve did."
Kerr said he considered allowing his assistants to take over the huddles, but added, "We're pretty consistent with our messaging. I felt it was better to kind of let the players figure things out and do things on their own."
The player takeover actually began Monday morning. Kerr said Iguodala pretty much ran shootaround, and JaVale McGee was on the computer helping out with film session. Kerr's unique technique worked, resulting in a 46-point thumping that happened to be the largest margin of victory ever over Phoenix.
"You can look at it two ways: You can say anybody can coach that team, or you can say it's a [good method]," Suns star Devin Booker told ESPN. "I liked the move personally. If I was a coach, I'd do that throughout the year, so I wouldn't even look at it as disrespectful.
"I'm sure people are going to say it's disrespectful, but I think Steve is an easygoing guy who has that relationship with his guys. But, if he didn't have four All-Stars, I don't think he'd be doing that."

A year into Ontario's first experiment with an online real-time emergency room wait time calculator, St. Mary's General Hospital in Kitchener discovered a remarkable result.
"We had expected to see people would adjust their arrival times," said Don Shilton, president of St. Mary's. "What we've actually seen is that a number of them have decided not to."
Diverting the "non-complex care" patients in ER to family doctors or clinics works only if the system guarantees sick people can get in to see their family doctors in 24 to 48 hours, Shilton said.
St. Mary's introduced its real-time digital clock in April 2012 as one way to chip away at four- and five-hour ER wait times. Created by Oculys and the hospital's IT department, the calculator now has an accuracy of 90 per cent, said Shilton.
Two other Ontario hospitals will introduce the system this summer, said Franck Hivert, CEO of Oculys, a third-party company set up by St. Mary's to market the device. He declined to name them.
"A lot of money has been put into ERs to try to fix them," said Hivert. "The notion behind a solution is changing the behaviour of patients. Why not try it? A large percentage (of people in ER waiting rooms) should be going to their family doctor."
Vancouver hospitals just jumped into the real-time ER service, introducing an online "dashboard" for five Lower Mainland hospitals that is updated every five minutes.
"This is not for people having chest pain," said Dr. Eric Grafstein, head of emergency services for Providence Health Care, who developed the device in Vancouver.
"They have to call 911. This public website is only part of the project to improve wait times."
In its first week, he said, 10,000 people checked the device.
He admitted it's only an estimate that could change if, for example, more serious emergencies arrive by ambulance.
Still, he said, "most of the time it's going to be accurate. If it does nothing else than give people information, why not do it?"
Dr. Howard Ovens, director of the Mount Sinai emergency centre in Toronto and co-chair of the provincial ER expert panel, has many reasons why not to invest in ER wait-time digital clocks.
"To me, this very subtly, subliminally shifts the responsibility from the government and a system level to the patient. The message is: It's your responsibility to make a decision. There are so many things wrong with that picture."
The Ontario Ministry of Health posts monthly average ER wait times for all of the province's hospitals, which Ovens contended are just as accurate as any digital device.
He criticized St. Mary's, which on the ministry site has total ER treatment times of 4.7 to 8.6 hours.
"If you're going to post a wait time of five hours, I'm a little concerned with the idea of just publicizing the fact that their wait times are poor."
He compared it to McDonald's telling customers to come in at 10 a.m. because it's less busy than dinner time, rather than adding more staff in the evening.
The St. Mary's staff also like the real-time monitor, Shilton pointed out.
"In emerg, patients and family are often asking how long is it going to be. This reduces the trips back and forth to the desk.
"We have a long way to go to reduce our own wait times. But it's important that patients and families be informed."
Canada is tops among developed countries for the length of its ER wait times.

If you've opened up a newspaper, turned on the TV, or logged onto the Internet over the past few months, you've likely encountered a discussion about the scourge of "fake news." Web sites like InfoWars, which published countless false stories suggesting Hillary Clinton was running a child-sex-slave ring out of a D.C.-area pizzeria—leading one North Carolina man to show up to Comet Ping Pong with a gun to "self-investigate" the situation—would be a good example of the epidemic, and its effects on society. According to hedge-fund manager Ray Dalio, an article by The Wall Street Journal about his company, Bridgewater Associates, is another.
The story, written by Rob Copeland and Bradley Hope, reports that software engineers at the hedge fund are working on a project, referred to by Dalio as "The Book of the Future," that will use technology to "automate most of the firm's management," including decisions like when to hire people, when to fire people, and even "whether an employee should make a particular phone call." Within the piece, Copeland and Hope discussed Bridgewater's unorthodox office culture, the principles of which are outlined in a series of maxims contained in Dalio's company handbook cum cult text, Principles, and include:
"Ask yourself whether you've earned the right to have an opinion"
"Almost everyone has an opinion, but many are worthless or harmful"
"Probe deep and hard to to learn what to expect from your 'machine'"
"Help people through the pain that comes with exploring their weaknesses"
. . . as well as a discussion about hyenas killing wildebeests that serves as an argument for how to deal with people in the workplace:
"For example, when a pack of hyenas takes down a young wildebeest, is this good or bad? At face value, this seems terrible; the poor wildebeest suffers and dies. Some people might even say that the hyenas are evil. Yet this type of apparently evil behavior exists throughout nature through all species and was created by nature, which is much smarter than I am, so before I jump to pronouncing it evil, I need to try to see if it might be good. When I think about it, like death itself, this behavior is integral to the enormously complex and efficient system that has worked for as long as there has been life. And when I think of the second- and third-order consequences, it becomes obvious that this behavior is good for both the hyenas, who are operating in their self-interest, and in the interests of the greater system, which includes the wildebeest, because killing and eating the wildebeest fosters evolution, i.e., the natural process of improvement."
Because of this, and other unusual aspects of life at Bridgewater—such as reportedly recording meetings and the expectation that employees must "criticize one another continually"—The Wall Street Journal reports that roughly "one-fifth of new hires leave within the first year" and "the pressure is such that those who stay sometimes are seen crying in the bathrooms." According to Dalio himself, coming to work at Bridgewater is "a little bit like entering the Navy SEALS" and "there's a period—usually of about 18 months— of ... adaptation to this. And some make it and some don't make it. And so we call it 'getting to the other side.' "
In previous attempts to get outsiders to understand what goes on inside the firm, Bridgewater has produced testimonials starring employees who, like one named John, look into the camera and explain how Dalio's unconventional methods yielded remarkable psychological breakthroughs. At first, John says, he resisted Dalio's criticism that he had "a reliability problem," but later realized he was being "illogical" by not asking why he was perceived that way. "I was closing myself off to the notion of exploring that, and reflecting on past experiences. I started to come to a realization that not only has being reliable been a problem for me professionally but personally, all the way back to the time that I was eight years old." Most recently, Bridgewater put out another series of videos noting that joining the firm will mean that "at some point you're going to be faced with something really painful and uncomfortable here and it's up to you to decide if you want that experience." According co-chief investment officer Greg Jensen, the point of the videos was to give people "a window into what it's like to be here, to scare you away if you're not the right kind of person or to potentially attract you if these ideas, if this way of being is attractive to you."
Yet, despite pointing out themselves that Bridgewater is far from your typical company and clearly not for everyone, Dalio bristles at the idea that people might find aspects of life at the world's largest hedge fund worth criticizing. Which is why, following the publication of Copeland and Hope's article, Dalio proceeded to publish a 2,685-word response on LinkedIn, entitled "The Fake and Distorted News Epidemic and Bridgewater's Recent Experience With The Wall Street Journal." Although he professes to have "mixed feelings about describing our most recent experience with The Wall Street Journal because many people might misconstrue my doing this as me simply complaining about an article that I didn't like," Dalio says he has been "reflecting for quite a while on the destructive effects that fake and distorted media are having on our society's well-being."
One of Dalio's biggest gripes is that the authors of the piece "paint[ed] a one-sided negative picture of the work environment." According to Dalio, that happened in part because "people who are happy with their experience and respecting our rules are not allowed to speak with the media so you end up hearing disproportionately from disgruntled people." He says that Copeland did not take Bridgewater "up on [its] offer" to talk to "an extensive list of employees and former employees"—hand selected by the firm—"who could speak freely with him." Dalio was also disappointed that Copeland and Hope only mentioned the (true) statistics about the high attrition rate of employees in their first and second years at the firm, while leaving out the "exceptionally low" turnover rates of "those in years three, four, and five." Dalio further took issue with the fact that Copeland called him out on espousing a culture of "radical transparency" while coming up with a new principle that states, "Expect those who receive the radical transparency to handle it responsibly and don't give it to them if they can't." And that the writer didn't just say, "Oh, O.K., that makes sense" when Dalio et al came back with some kind of baffling logic for how their process works.
When Copeland asked about how radical transparency works, he suggested that we were disingenuous because we didn't pursue it totally. We explained our approach: "Don't get me wrong: radical transparency isn't the same as total transparency. It just means much more transparency than is typical. We do keep some things confidential, such as illnesses or deeply personal problems, sensitive details about intellectual property or security issues, the timing of a major trade, and at least for the short term, matters that are likely to be distorted, sensationalized, and harmfully misunderstood if leaked to the press." And we pointed him to the relevant principles. Copeland and Hope chose to ignore those explanations and write "he decided to let only 10 percent have the full measure of what he calls radical transparency." After he passed that by us, we replied that "It is incorrect that only 10 percent get radical transparency. Here's the fact. Everyone can see most everything, but only the top 150 or so people get to see the most sensitive type of stuff which, in most companies would be limited to only the top 5 or 10 people." The authors chose to go with their mischaracterizations, even though doing so was misleading.
In addition to not liking how building "The Book of the Future" came across in print, Dalio says that Copeland and Hope "mischaracterized several other things . . . [but] I won't delve into more examples because we are past the point of diminishing returns." All you need to know is that there are "systemic risks arising from fake and distorted media" and that those risks include coming away from a piece describing a hedge fund that, by all accounts, sounds pretty fucking strange and thinking, "That place sounds pretty fucking strange."
For more examples of untrustworthy news sources, in Dalio's opinion, refer to his essay entitled "The New York Times Story Is a Distortion of Reality," which incidentally came out just after the Gray Lady published a story about a Bridgewater employee who claimed his superior sexually harassed him and was subsequently pressured by top managers "to rescind his claims."

Speciation and Availability of Cr, Ni and Co IN Serpentine Soils of Ranau, Sabah
Mahsa Tashakor, Wan Zuhairi Wan Yaacob and Hamzah Mohamad
DOI : 10.3844/ajgsp.2011.4.9
Current Research in Geoscience
Volume 2, Issue 1
Pages 4-9
Problem statement: Serpentine soils are known as a geogenic source of heavy metal pollution because they are anomalously rich in chromium, nickel and cobalt. Approach: However, only that portion of these metals which is available in the ecosystem and incorporates in the bio-transformation processes, is dangerous for the environment. Availability of Cr, Ni and Co depends on their speciation into the different fractions of a soil and corresponds with their chemical binding forms. Soil is a combination of several reactive fractions which have the ability to interact physically and chemically with heavy metals and changes their existence form in the soil. Results: Thus, understanding the geochemical form and distribution of metals in different fractions of soil is fundamental for predicting the availability and potential toxicity of them under natural condition. Conclusion: This study set out with the aim of fractionation of Cr, Ni and Co in serpentine soils of Ranau in Sabah state of Malaysia. Selective Sequential Extraction analysis (SSE) was combined with X-ray diffraction of soil powders to find the mineralogical source and mobility of Cr, Ni and Co in serpentine soils.

Hi Bob --Yup, using a 64MHz Reflock II is exactly what I was planning to do. It'll be driven by one of the house Cs or Rb standards that's compared against GPS.
One of my questions -- whether a frequency-stabilized 64MHz clock would remove all sources of frequency error, or whether there was other clocking going on that could affect frequency measurement results. Sounds like you're saying there isn't.
John ---- n4hy wrote:
Let me add that if done off line and the 10 Mhz Reflock II based oscillator is used, then you can use a forward backward algorithm tracking the oscillator to resample the other channels to remove all systematic biases/errors up to the accuracy and the lock of the 10 Mhz oscillator. Not much can be done with the phase noise of course. If you want, you can multiply that 10 Mhz to 60Mhz and use it as the external clocking (rather than the 64 Mhz oscillator now on board). The Reflock II could also be used to lock a 64 Mhz oscillator as well, given an external reference such as GPS, and then all sample rates will be as needed. This implies having a VCXO that runs at 64 Mhz. The phase noise would be low since you are taming a crystal oscillator. Thus the accuracy can be improved in either of these ways.A TC-VCXO would be ideal. Barring that, put a thermal tab on it.

It can be done after the fact on recorded digital signals. May I suggest that you take that Reflock II tamed10 Mhz oscillator and record it in parallel.

Saturday, 22 January 2011
i think i'm cherishing my saturday mornings more than ever. having a little while to sit down, to think and write and maybe read a little before the day catches up with me. and to have a sitting-down breakfast for once. today's was:
coffee and a simple bircher muesli
coarsely grate an apple into a bowl, add some oats and a little boiling water. sprinkle with a little brown sugar and stir well. add a little liquid cream and some cinnamon, stir again. if you like, add some toasted nuts on top. done in less than five minutes.
also enjoyed this morning:
kate's windows down mix
the trailer for documentary film food stamped - is it possible to eat healthy on a food stamp diet?
(take a look, these guys are at sundance at the moment and hoping to get a distribution deal. if you do that kind of thing, you might consider following them on facebook (via their website), which could help them get the film into theatres. oh, and spread the word!)
happy weekend!

Recipe For a Bad Day
Bad days are the absolute worst.
(You do not have to tell me twice).
But sometimes, honestly?
It's just a matter of waking up to one.
Often, though, I feel like my chances of having a bad day are a tad bit higher due to a few things.
In these cases, I owe my best worst days to these ingredients:
No. Not waiting for your coffee to brew, a red light to switch to green, or waiting on something like a Spotify ad to end.
Honestly, I've found that waiting and depending on others for things you should do yourself is a great way to kick off your recipe to a bad day. Not only does it set you up to fail if they don't come through, but it also places your happiness/success in their hands.
This part really sucks, and it's even suckier because it's hard to avoid.
Allowing disappointment to make its way into your heart is a key way to stir up your bad day.
For example, I came across this quote which really struck a chord with me:
"When things are a disappointment, try not to be so discouraged."
-Carol Burnett
So, I guess it's not so much of allowing disappointment to effect you, as much as it is not letting yourself become discouraged by your disappointments. Basically, don't sweat the small stuff. And even if it isn't small stuff, you've got to keep going.
This is a big one for me.
I'm an extroverted person, so I draw my energy from those around me. So, if the people around me are having a terrible day- I too tend to have a bad day.
But external influences don't have to just be people.
External issues can be anything from the weather, your car breaking down, or even losing your favorite sweater.
At times, it honestly feels like life is just chipping away at your outer layer- Just be careful what external influences you allow through.
Doubting Others.
"The benefit of the doubt"A Phrase.
1. A concession that a person or fact must be regarded as correct or justified, if the contrary has not been proven.
Doubting Yourself.
"No one really has a bad life. Not even a bad day. Just bad moments."
-Regina Brett

Lay it ALL out there.
"Learn to love Intensity not Duration" Rachel Cosgrove
I just experienced one of those special moments. One that sparks excitement, one that keeps you smiling, puts that spring in your step for the rest of the day and longer, one you want to share, one to be relived.
Fun Friday is a special day in training each week. A time devoted to adding a bit more to the last day of training for the week. Our Fun Friday this week had an element of team to it. On this day you worked with a group of friends to complete the 4 round challenge.
"Wait stop the music, turn off the sound system, (I even unplugged the fan), Listen up"
The ladies at 9 am needed to hear this. I'm not sure why between round 3 and 4 but I was led to stop it all and give this little pep talk. We had six minutes of training left. I knew this round was full of quick transitions. I wanted to see training going on. Like training you would see in an Olympic gym, or preparing for the Super Bowl, or the World Series. I had just read this quote. "Learn to love intensity not duration" by Rachel Cosgrove. This is what I told the group.
"We have six minutes. I want this to be the six minutes of your day. We give give give all day long, we are like a die hard battery just going going going. What if we pushed all the energy into six minutes. Instead of looking like a marathon, all out intensity for six minutes. And on top of that those six minutes are going to be broken down into smaller tidbits of times. Burst of energy – all Out Intensity." (I then showed them what that would like for our training)
Those next six minutes were special. I saw determination on the faces of those ladies like I had never seen before. They were too busy being focused. There was no time to chat, This was the time to work. And work they did. I am so proud, many of them did more than they thought they could. They gave it their all for six minutes. It inspired others in the room. It is continuing to inspire me. Were they tired? Yes! But they are better because of their effort.
So what can you do? Do you have the intensity to focus on one thing and go all out for it? Can you make one activity more intense by paying attention to smaller details? I know you can. In training the details will get you the results you want. Skipping the details can be the reason you haven't reached your goals.
What about other areas? Intensify your nutrition plan? If you pay more attention to the details, each detail each meal, will you reach your health goals faster? Don't let little things slide. Be an all out player.
I saw a miracle happen today. It was a special moment when the entire room lit on fire. I am so glad I was there. I am so glad those ladies were ready and willing to pour all their intensity into six minutes.
Get Better Each Day,
Coach Nancy

Anyway I don't know what to think now. If you read Anna's mother's Facebook pages there's reference to Anna's book dated yesterday yet no mention of her death which is supposed to have occurred on the 16th. Which just does not fit.
I haven't heard anything from Anna for over 2 weeks. My feeling is that she is alive and unwell. But I do not know. COME BACK ANNA!
Maybe Anna does have the oddest family in history. Their daughter dies and they carry on posting away as if nothing happened. Maybe Anna is just trying to sell her book. So I'll do her one more favour: her UK Amazon link is here; the US Amazon link is here.
Here's what I wrote yesterday:~~
NOBODY SEEMS TO BELIEVE Anna Grace really is dead. Just because the "friend" who posted on her blog sounds a lot and punctuates a lot (brackets without spaces) like Anna doesn't mean the situation isn't true. She could have posted that a week ago and instructed Blogger to hold on to it and post it up yesterday, when it appeared.
This ghost post showed up: MyTrafford Dashboard: "Title: I Hate Myself and Want to Die Subtitle: Project ID: 297745 Author Name: Anna Young (edit profile) Pen Name: Anna Young Genre: F...
it means a post appeared and was subsequently deleted. Which still doesn't mean Anna is alive. The "friend" could have posted this.
Oh I don't fucking know. ANNA GRACE COME BACK!
I can't believe I'm doing this, shouting at the dead: COME BACK ANNA!
Because if she isn't dead she's not going to WANT to "come back" now. Oh Anna why did you do it? I'm checking the public records office for Green Bay, Wisconsin because I just want to know. None of the online searches I've so far done have shown up anything, which isn't really surprising because it could easily take the relevant government departments a month or more to process paperwork.
In this country a death certificate is usually issued straight away. Nearest kin are called upon to identify the body. Any case where illicit drugs may be involved, or suicide is suspected goes forward to the coroner's court. It's not uncommon for the body to stay in cold storage for a few weeks if the actual cause of death is uncertain. Example: my friend Lucky was a long term (30 year +) heroin addict but died suddenly probably of multiple system failure, not drug overdose. She stayed in the fridge for at least three weeks.
O I can't believe I'm writing all this about Anna. Can anyone who knows anything please get in touch. I want to know for sure now.
Brown County Medical Examiner:
Wisconsin Death Certificates:
Social Security Death Index Interactive Search
this is useless. no Anna Grace Young but no Juan Lopez born +/- 5 years from 1983 and dead last year!
Anna Grace's Dad's Facebook:
Anna Grace's Mum's Facebook:
Anna Grace Young's own Facebook page:
I don't know what to think. Yesterday I was upset, today I'm walking away.
If you really are doing this to draw attention to your book Anna congratulations: attention drawn. But I really can't believe you would do this. Because whether or not you're living and breathing and hiding offline, you're dead to me.
Anna Grace Young 1983-2011
Rest In Peace

Mr. Chetan Bhagat
Mr. Chetan Bhagat -Author and Business Leader
Replete with serious messages, his talk was laced with plenty humour, through his rich audio-visual presentations. With impactful lessons that he learnt from his own life, he also discussed the life of ace cricketer, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his tenacity of purpose that catapulted him to the top eventually. He made an appeal to the PGDM graduates of the college, to emulate Dhoni's persuasive spirit and never give up in trying times. Through the trials and tribulations of his own life, Mr Bhagat said he believed in his dream and never stopped hoping for a successful future. In his address, he constantly drew from career - where investment banking career and took to writing that was initially shunned by rejections. The true key to success, according to Mr Bhagat lies in a formula that he spelled out – 'Thoroughly knowing the business and knowing the right people'. Besides, he emphasized on the power that the youth of today possess, in transforming the country to the Utopia that they visualize.

Oh I so love autumn because of the smell of the dead leaves, the beautiful bright colors, the contrast it makes with the cold outside and the scent of purple grapes following me around. I feel it's melancholy wrapping me around and cannot or rather do not want to let it go because it's such a bitter-sweet feeling.
Feeling a bit nostalgic today I guess.
Have a lovely week, darlings!

Happy Earth Day!
There are many simple things you can do to protect our planet, each of which might not seem terribly consequential, but put together, they all add up. A beach is made of millions of grains of sand deposited over time – not all earth-friendly gestures have to be as big as planting a forest. To that end, we want to share the importance of recycling and using post consumer products. It's a simple change you can make to reduce your footprint. Here are a few quick facts about recycling:
- Only 30% of waste is recycled, but we have the potential to recycle 75%.
- Also, if every American recycled their newspapers, it would save 250 million trees each year. That's a lot of trees – and that's just with recycling one paper item, by one country. Think if the whole world recycled all the paper we generate – phone books, school papers, junk mail…
- In 2010, Americans threw away $2.8 billion worth of paper.
- And 37% of paper for American mills is recycled.
- Recycling paper doesn't just save trees – it also takes 40% less energy.
- And just to make you appreciate paper a little more…before toilet paper, you might have had to use corn cobs or leaves. (Toilet paper is also available in post-consumer form.)
At Amy Adele, every single product is made with 100% post consumer paper, and by asking friends and family to recycle our stationery, you can extend the life of a sheet of paper over time – who knows where it might end up? Also, our packing peanuts are 100% biodegradable. They are made from starch, so they dissolve in water, and you could even eat them! That is if you were REALLY hungry. 🙂
For a fun project with your kids this Earth Day, make up a story about a recycled piece of paper. Where has it been? How many people has it seen? What was it used for? Feel free to share your kids' best and most creative ideas in the comments – we'd love to hear them. If you just received your order show the kids how you can make packing peanuts disappear. Feel free to post reaction videos or pictures to our Facebook, Google+, or tag us on Instagram.

I spent part of my last day in Paris at the Fondation Cartier, not far from Montparnasse. They were showing an exhibit about the history of Rock and Roll and as I wandered through the rooms listening to different selections of hits from the 40's and 50's, I couldn't help thinking "man weren't they lucky back then, to have grown up in a simpler time when Elvis crooning about being a hound dog was the most complex stuff they heard on the radio."
Ya, I'm naive like that.
I have to recommend the exhibit though for those who are still in the Parisian region; I could have spent a lot more time watching the videos and sitting in the "studio" listening to the recording sessions of Elvis and Johnny Cash, among others. And if you haven't yet seen Walk the Line, you need to clear a couple of hours this weekend and do so. Cause Johnny + June = hope in true love in a post-rehab world.

speaking of Paris - i accepted the challenge of helping erica @ work find a mime/clown in paris... so if you can help at all in this endeavour, pls let me know! ;)

1.) Honey Milk.
Take a glass of hot milk and add a table spoon of honey to it. The milk and honey should help calm your throat when it's sore.
2.) Ginger Tea
Here you can use any tea of your choice, preferably rooibos tea. Then you can just add a few pieces of freshly chopped ginger and a squeeze of lemon. Last but not least, add a table spoon of honey to give it some sweetness and help soothe your throat again :)
3.) Apple Ginger Flu Shot
Now you need a juicer. Juice one apple with a big chunk of ginger. Combine it and chug it down. It will burn your throat if you put in a lot of ginger, which is a good sign, because it burns all the bacteria in your throat and helps to strengthen your immun system. :)

A different approach to education: Montessori Kids Universe offers a unique curriculum and educational philosophy that encourages the natural growth and development of the child.
At Montessori Kids Universe, we believe that children are natural learners and are full of curiosity from a young age.
This is why the unique and time tested Montessori Program incorporates the education philosophies of Reggio Emilia and Maria Montessori.
The Reggio Emilia approach was founded by teacher and humanist Loris Malaguzzi. It encourages students to express themselves in creative, symbolic, logical, and imaginative ways. Combining this intuitive approach with the philosophies of Maria Montessori, results in an incredibly effective approach to education which places an incredible focus on the child's ability to become independent and creative learners.
This Montessori method allows children to become interested and curious learners, who are able to interact with their peers and their environment in a thoughtful and respective manner. Our prepared environments, which contain everything from cooking, to gardening, to yoga, are designed in such a way that allows the child to naturally explore and learn on their own, building not only the independence, but the imagination of the child. Our certified Montessori instructors work with the children on an individual and group basis to guide and nurture the learning process.
We truly believe that one learns by doing. Our children, with guidance from our certified staff, are able to expand their horizons, allowing them to become the creators, innovators, and leaders of tomorrow.
