Night reader: Hasselhoff's CBeebies gig
Former Baywatch star and Britain's Got Talent judge David Hasselhoff will help children off to sleep on New Year's Eve by reading a book for the CBeebies Bedtime Story Series.
The actor will be joining Lulu, Emilia Fox and Sir Derek Jacobi on the roster of bedtime story readers over the festive period, the BBC said.
Hasselhoff will read Jo Hodgkinson's My Friend Nigel about a boy called Billy who rescues a snail to be used in his parent's spells.
"As a child I used to love reading 'Twas The Night Before Christmas and I can still recite all the words today," he told the BBC.

Any way you look at it, iPad mini is just incredible. And the stunning Retina display is only the beginning. With a new A7 chip, advanced wireless, and powerful apps — all beautifully integrated with iOS 7 — iPad mini with Retina display lets you do more than you ever imagined. Feature for feature, it's identical to iPad Air in every way. Except for its super-portable, hold-it-in-one-hand, still-just-right mini size.
Now iPad mini looks even more brilliant in your hand. The Retina display has over 3.1 million pixels — a million more than an HDTV. That's a 2048-by-1536 resolution, four times the resolution of the previous-generation iPad mini. In fact, the pixels are so close together, your eyes can't distinguish them. So photos and videos show incredible detail and text is razor sharp. Because the best pixels are the ones you never see.
We packed so many incredible new features inside iPad mini. It has a stunning Retina display, the incredibly powerful A7 chip, advanced wireless technologies, and more. Yet it's still thin and light (and mini). It's just 0.29 inch thin and weighs less than three-quarters of a pound. So while you can do even more, you won't feel like you're holding any more.
The new Apple-designed A7 chip brings 64-bit desktop-class architecture to iPad. That means up to 4x the CPU speed and up to 8x the graphics performance for everything you do. And still up to 10 hours of battery life to study, play, build, and create whatever you want, all you want.1
The A7 chip takes iPad to new heights of power and speed. Thanks to the A7 chip, apps run faster. Games are more responsive. And everything you do with iPad mini feels quicker, because it is quicker. Up to four times as quick, in fact. But that's just the beginning. It also supports OpenGL ES version 3.0, enabling detailed graphics and visual effects once possible only on desktop computers and game consoles. And the A7 chip features 64-bit architecture, opening the door for even more robust and powerful apps. Which means even more possibilities for what you can do with iPad mini.
iPad mini was designed to be on the move. That's why the M7 coprocessor makes so much sense. It measures motion from your iPad mini by pulling data from the accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass. So your apps can give you a better experience based on the movement of your iPad mini. It's a task that would normally fall to the A7 chip. But M7 is more efficient at it, which saves on power.
iPad mini is powerful, but not power hungry. Even though it's up to four times as fast as the previous-generation iPad mini, it still gives you the same incredible 10-hour battery life.1 That's because the A7 chip isn't just more powerful, it's also more efficient. So no matter where you go with iPad mini, you'll have the battery power to go even further.
Your new favorite app, book, or movie. Your next FaceTime call or iMessage. Ultrafast wireless lets you access the things you love, right from iPad mini. So more than ever, you can stay in sync and in touch.
iPad mini gives you up to twice the Wi-Fi performance thanks to two antennas and MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) technology. With dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) 802.11n Wi-Fi and MIMO, download speeds can reach up to 300 Mbps — double the data rate of the previous-generation iPad mini. So now when you want to download a movie, share photos or documents with AirDrop, or just browse the web, your connection is even faster than before.
iPad mini with Wi-Fi + Cellular lets you connect to the Internet even if you're away from a Wi-Fi signal. iPad mini supports even more bands to connect to more cellular data networks around the world.2 Now you can get online at really fast speeds — faster than broadband in some cases — in more places. And plans are flexible, so you don't have to sign a contract.
iPad mini is the perfect everyday companion. Because it comes with apps that help you do the everyday things you love to do, like check your email or talk to Mom over FaceTime. And now iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are free with iPad mini.3 So you can write the next great novel, nail your presentation, and compose a score for your home movie — all from your iPad mini. And all these apps are optimized for 64-bit architecture. So they run smoothly and powerfully and make iPad mini — and you — more capable than ever. From the moment you turn it on.
Plan a road trip. Study whale migration. Draw blueprints for a building. Or repel a zombie invasion. For anything and everything you do, there's an iPad app. And new ones are always being added in the App Store. iPad apps are so much easier to use and love, because they aren't just stretched-out phone apps. They feel like they're made for iPad — because they are made for iPad. They take advantage of every pixel on the Retina display and leverage technologies like the gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass. And with the incredible potential of 64-bit architecture, this is just the beginning for what you'll be able to do (and explore, and study, and draw, and zap) with iPad mini.
Sometimes it's nice to put a face to the conversation. And with FaceTime video calls on iPad mini, your conversations never looked better. Make a video call over Wi-Fi or cellular and see (or show) every expression on the beautiful display.4 And now the FaceTime HD camera features a next-generation backside illumination sensor with bigger pixels. Which brightens up all your FaceTime chats, selfies, and group Photo Booth shots, even in low-light situations.
We think about what goes into a great shot, so you don't have to. The 5-megapixel iSight camera on iPad mini was designed to help you capture all of life's moments at a moment's notice. Use the Retina display as an easy viewfinder to frame the perfect shot. And quickly swipe between capturing stills or 1080p HD video. Every time you shoot, the image signal processor in the A7 chip works with the camera to make a ton of adjustments and deliver a great picture or video — automatically. You don't have to think about anything other than who you're going to share the moment with.
Because iOS 7 was designed for iPad mini, everything not only looks beautiful, it runs beautifully. And iOS 7 introduces great new features, such as smarter multitasking, AirDrop, and Control Center, that make the things you do every day even easier, faster, and more enjoyable. It's everything you love about iOS. Made even easier to love. Learn more about iOS 7
iCloud keeps all your content synced across all your devices. It's seamlessly integrated with your devices, so you can start a Pages document on your Mac and finish polishing it on your iPad mini. The pictures you shoot with your iPhone appear instantly on iPad mini thanks to iCloud Photo Sharing. Learn more about iCloud
Protecting your iPad mini has never looked smarter. When closed, the Smart Cover puts iPad mini to sleep and protects the screen. And when you open the Smart Cover, iPad mini wakes right up. Fold it, and you've got a stand. It's crafted from a single piece of polyurethane and comes in six vibrant colors.
For all-around protection, the new iPad mini Smart Case has you covered — front and back. The Smart Case is designed with a slim profile that perfectly hugs the thin form of iPad mini. The rich, premium leather feels luxurious in your hand. It comes in six beautiful shades to add a little color. And just like the Smart Cover, the Smart Case wakes and sleeps iPad mini on open and close and folds into a convenient stand.

To create the ideal intramuscular environment for enhanced athletic performance, up-regulating insulin secretion is key. A significant insulin spike is essential for increasing glycogen transport to muscle cells and increasing nutrient uptake and utilization, generally.
The important trace mineral chromium has long been linked to efforts at overcoming insulin resistance in diabetics, by virtue of its insulin-mimicking properties, and thus would appear to offer the potential of performance enhancement for athletes as well. In keeping with its rigid standards of providing the highest quality supplements available, ProSource offers this new high-potency Chromax® Chromium in picolinate form, the most bioavailable made.

All of this does not mean that there is only one way to attain serenity using the breath. If someone has developed a technique that issues in jhana and which does not follow the explicit instructions that is fine too. Whatever works.

Modus.Ponens wrote:This dhamma talk is by Ayya Khema. She describes the jhanas 1 to 8, how to get there (except that this part on the 4th is not possible to hear), what you do after each jhana and what insights you get from each jhana. In the end there's a bit of Q&A. It's a very good concise explanation of the subject, in my opinion.
Modus.Ponens wrote:Oh my god... that was the best dhamma talk I ever heard. And now it's gone!
This is just a speculation of mine: I remember the talk seemed to be edited in some parts to conceal things that Ayya Khema might have said that were more delicate to talk about when you are a nun. Maybe that's why it was removed. But, again, it's just speculation.
Anyway, thank you. I will try to find that dhamma talk again. It is too good to be lost like that. Despite the emphasis on jhanas, Ayya Khema described the whole path, from access concentration to enlightenment, in that talk.
EDIT: to mantain my original intention for this thread to have little, to no debate/conversation, if I find the dhamma talk, I will edit this post and put the talk here.

League Information
2015 Spring/Summer Season begins on April 27
GOAL: The goal of Nebraska Senior Softball is to promote softball for seniors, improve physical, mental and spiritual wellness, develop new friendships and renew old acquaintances among active senior men and women, ages 50 years and over, in Omaha and other communities throughout Nebraska, to cooperatively enjoy fun, fitness, and fellowship through athletic competition.
LEAGUE PLAY: The Spring/Summer 2015 season will begin on Monday, April 27. Spring training will begin Monday, April 13 and end on Wednesday, April 22. Regular season games will be played on Monday and Wednesday evenings at (times to be determined). Nebraska Senior Softball games are played at the LaVista Sports Complex, 7346 S 66th St in LaVista, Nebraska (approximately 2 blocks south of 66th and Harrison street). The number of senior league teams will be determined based on the registrations received. Registration will begin on or around February 1st .
AGE QUALIFICATIONS: A player must become at least 50 years of age during the current calendar year to be eligible to play in the Nebraska Senior Softball League. The age a player attains on his or her birthday in any particular year will be considered to be his or her age for that entire calendar year. New players joining the league will be required to show proof of their age to a League Officer with either a driver's license or birth certificate.
PLAYING QUALIFICATIONS: With primary concerns for (1) player safety, (2) competitiveness and (3) the integrity of the game, all player candidates should carefully consider their physical capabilities and skills prior to registering and playing softball.
TEAM STRUCTURE: NSS attempts to maintain parity across all teams within the league by assessing player skills while still allowing team managers reasonable flexibility in selecting players for their roster. Each team will consist of a mixture of players of various skill levels and ages. To prevent having dominant teams in the league, no pre-selected teams will be accepted.
RETURNING PLAYERS: All returning players from the 2014 Spring/Summer season who register prior to the deadline, will return to their original team unless they elect to be placed into the draft or the team is disbanded due to a lack of returning players.
NEW PLAYERS: All newly registered players for the Spring/Summer League will be evaluated by team managers for individual skills based on hitting, running, throwing and fielding abilities during practice sessions (April 13/15/20/22). New players are encouraged to participate in several of the practice sessions.
POOL PLAYERS: Any player whose registration is received after the Spring registration deadline will be placed in a player pool and will be assigned to a team, if an opening becomes available, by the Director of Player Personnel. Pool players are not guaranteed a permanent team assignment as openings will be based upon the gaining/losing player skill level and other factors.
PLAYER DRAFT SYSTEM: Each registered and qualified player for the 2015 Spring/Summer draft will be selected by team managers in a fair and equitable draft procedure. During a period of forty-eight (48) hours after the conclusion of the player draft, the team managers will be allowed to trade no more than three newly drafted players from their team to other teams, if the respective managers involved are in agreement. All players will be notified of their team assignment by phone or e-mail.
SENIOR SOFTBALL RULES: Special senior softball rules will be in effect, including use of a run scoring plate (in addition to the normal home plate) and a double first base (to prevent collisions and injuries), a turf batting mat, strike zone mat, courtesy base runners, all players in the batting line-up, and a run scoring maximum per inning, to promote a safe, enjoyable and competitive game for all participants. A current copy of the major rules of senior softball is available by going to our website and clicking Policies and Rules. All players/participants are responsible for being familiar with the rules.
PLAYER REGISTRATION FEES AND DEADLINES: In order to cover the cost of lights and maintaining our playing facilities, official umpires, balls, equipment, major league caps, liability insurance and administrative expenses; a Player Registration Fee must accompany each registration. Registrations must be given to a board member, submitted online or be postmarked on or before April 12, 2013. Payment is required at the time of registration. NSS accepts online registrations which is fast, easy and immediate! PayPal is a payment method offering debit and credit card along with bank account options to fund the registration payment. A PayPal account is not needed! If you still prefer paper, checks are accepted and you can download the registration form to fully complete, print, and mail to NSS as indicated below.

Rickets is a disorder caused by a lack of vitamin D, calcium, or phosphate. It leads to softening and weakening of the bones.
Osteomalacia in children; Vitamin D deficiency; Renal rickets; Hepatic rickets
Vitamin D helps the body control calcium and phosphate levels. If the blood levels of these minerals become too low, the body may produce hormones that cause calcium and phosphate to be released from the bones. This leads to weak and soft bones.
Vitamin D is absorbed from food or produced by the skin when exposed to sunlight. Lack of vitamin D production by the skin may occur in people who:
You may not get enough vitamin D from your diet if you:
Infants who are breastfed only may develop vitamin D deficiency. Human breast milk does not supply the proper amount of vitamin D. This can be a particular problem for darker-skinned children in winter months (when there are lower levels of sunlight).
Not getting enough calcium and phosphorous in your diet can also lead to rickets. Rickets caused by a lack of these minerals in diet is rare in developed countries, because calcium and phosphorous are found in milk and green vegetables.
Your genes may increase your risk of rickets. Hereditary rickets is a form of the disease that is passed down through families. It occurs when the kidneys are unable to hold onto the mineral phosphate. Rickets may also be caused by kidney disorders that involve renal tubular acidosis .
Disorders that reduce the digestion or absorption of fats will make it more difficult for vitamin D to be absorbed into the body.
Occasionally, rickets may occur in children who have disorders of the liver, or who cannot convert vitamin D to its active form.
Rickets is rare in the United States. It is most likely to occur in children during periods of rapid growth, when the body needs high levels of calcium and phosphate. Rickets may be seen in children ages 6 - 24 months. It is uncommon in newborns.
Symptoms of rickets include:
A physical exam reveals tenderness or pain in the bones, but not in the joints or muscles.
The following tests may help diagnose rickets:
Other tests and procedures include the following:
The goals of treatment are to relieve symptoms and correct the cause of the condition. The cause must be treated to prevent the disease from returning.
Replacing calcium, phosphorus, or vitamin D that is lacking will eliminate most symptoms of rickets. Dietary sources of vitamin D include fish, liver, and processed milk. Exposure to moderate amounts of sunlight is encouraged. If rickets is caused by a metabolic problem, a prescription for vitamin D supplements may be needed.
Positioning or bracing may be used to reduce or prevent deformities. Some skeletal deformities may require corrective surgery.
The disorder may be corrected by replacing vitamin D and minerals. Laboratory values and x-rays usually improve after about 1 week, although some cases may require large doses of minerals and vitamin D.
If rickets is not corrected while the child is still growing, skeletal deformities and short stature may be permanent. If it is corrected while the child is young, skeletal deformities often improve or disappear with time.
Call your child's health care provider if you notice symptoms of rickets.
You can prevent rickets by making sure that your child gets enough calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D in the diet. People who have gastrointestinal or other disorders may need to take supplements. Ask your child's health care provider.
Kidney (renal) causes of poor vitamin D absorption should be treated right away. People who have renal disorders should have their calcium and phosphorus levels monitored regularly.
Genetic counseling may help people who have a family history of inherited disorders that can cause rickets.

Last season's loss on the minds of Tigers

E-Mail This Story
By CONOR NICHOLL
Fort Hays State University football coach Chris Brown brought up last season's difficult 20-17 home loss to Lindenwood (Mo.) University at Tuesday's practice.
The Tigers had a late muffed punt and then-quarterback Tarean Austin committed a major mistake when he threw an interception to Lindenwood's Pierre Desir in the Lions' end zone in the final minutes.
"We probably win that ball game if we don't make a few mistakes," Brown said.
On Saturday, Fort Hays (1-4, 0-4 MIAA) travels to Lindenwood (3-2, 2-2 MIAA) for a 1:30 p.m. start at St. Charles, Mo. The Lions are 2-0 at home and 1-2 on the road. Last week, Lindenwood lost 56-6 to University of Nebraska-Kearney and committed seven turnovers.
Sophomore quarterback Dillon Miller has two 300-yard passing games and six receivers have more than 100 yards. Lions coach Patrick Ross is going for career win No. 100 in his 136th career collegiate contest.
"Lindenwood, to me, is a very, very good football team," Brown said. "Very explosive on offense. They are going to spread the field, throw the ball, they have got some great receivers that have great speed and run great routes.
"The quarterback is solid," he added. "He makes some great reads. The O-line is tough. Not many teams have gotten to their quarterback. It's just a credit to their O-line, and the things that they do."
Desir, whom Brown first coached when the pair was at Washburn University, is a pro prospect. He leads the MIAA and ranks ninth in NCAA Division II with nine passes defended, including two interceptions. Desir has 23 career interceptions.
This week, Brown looked at a lot of film on Desir. Every quarterback that has thrown to Desir in man coverage has either had the pass broken up or intercepted.
Fort Hays is expected to stay away from throwing in the defensive back's direction.
"Just have to be smart about what we are doing," Brown said.
Turnovers a difference
Lindenwood is plus-3 in turnover margin in its wins and minus-6 in its losses. FHSU ranks last in the MIAA with a minus-10 turnover margin. Fort Hays picked off three passes last week and has just five interceptions and one fumble recovered this season.
Its 16 turnovers are tied for last in the 14-team conference, while the six turnovers forced are second-worst. Brown has "really stressed" forcing turnovers this season and has the Tigers do turnover/tackle drills daily.
"We are breaking on the ball, we are seeing the ball thrown and trying to go make the tackle instead of seeing the ball and going and picking it," Brown said. "We are just not reading the quarterback well enough to see it come out of his hands. Those things will come."
The one fumble recovered is also tied for last.
"We need to strip a little bit better on defense," Brown said. "When we have tackled as bad as we have had so far, you are not going to have many turnovers. First guy needs to hold him up and next guy needs to come in and strip the ball out. That's something that we haven't done yet."
Junior Ed Williams missed the first month with a leg injury, but returned last Saturday and provided a deep threat. He hauled in a 55-yard catch, the season's longest pass play. ...FHSU contemplated leaving Thursday, but was scheduled to leave this morning, drive to western Missouri and then doing its normal practice.

I want to say two words to you. Just two words. Are you listening?
There's a great future in aperitifs and digestifs. I don't just mean that in a Benjamin-Braddock-searching-for-meaning-in-the-60s-oh-I-get-it-she's-referencing-The Graduate kind of way. Italian liqueurs are mega-trendy big right now and I say good on it, because they're relatively cheap (~$20 a bottle, less for vermouths), a little goes a long way, they're becoming easily available, they have the best ad posters, they were born to make nice in endless kinds of cocktail recipes, and once you start you'll want to collect them and play with them and come up with neat at-home displays for them like you used to do with your Smurfs.
The Rinfrescante Italiano is the first cocktail we've come up with in house to make use of our new-favorite toy/aperitif, Aperol, which is like a lighter-bodied version of Campari. Like yesterday's Champagne Julep, it's a fizzer. With the Aperol's bittersweetness and the bubbly's carbonation mixed together, Sean's cousin Chris said it tasted like an Italian soda, hence its given nomenclature, "the refreshing Italian."
(Speaking of Chris' toys, I must interrupt myself here to explain what you're seeing in the pic above, a gift he received for Christmas. It is basically a six-sided jigger, with each side recessed to a certain degree, such that each in effect works like a pyramid-shaped liquid measuring cup. It appears from the online homework I've done that Chris' comes from Vat19.com. It blew me away at first look but disappointed me at first try, mainly because it is very awkward to pour. You know how sometimes have to pour something from a cup into another container and if you don't pour at just the right speed the liquid winds up cascading down the side of your cup and not into its intended receptacle? That's what happened here, unless I poured from the jigger while holding it with two hands, in effect making me feel like a toddler trying to pour her own milk for the first time. Yes, the cube jigger has corners that kinda look like they should work like spouts, 'cept they kinda don't. I'd much rather have me a single, classically designed jigger with several easily visible notches inside.)
Oh! And, back to the Rinfrescante, it has applejack, aka Jersey Lightning, which was my street name in high school is like a super-strong, apple-based brandy. Chris and his cohorts had some lying around, and that's another liquor you're going to hear a lot about in the coming year, and another one I'd been dying to try for a while, 'cept that in Fronche Canada you have to settle for (equally awesome) Calvados.
The Rinfrescante Italiano
1 ounce Laird's applejack brandy
1/2 ounce Aperol
1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
About 3 ounces Champagne or sparkling white wine
Lemon twist, to garnish
Pour applejack, Aperol and lemon juice into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously and strain into chilled Champagne flute. Top off with Champagne. Garnish with lemon twist.

This report, based on an undercover exposé of Punjabi visa agencies by The Sunday Times, sketches one immigration loophole into Europe: so-called "donkey flights" by which Indian migrants obtain a tourist visa for a Schengen-zone country in order to enter the United Kingdom through the back door. Thousands of visa agencies operate in the Punjab region alone, with varying degrees of legality, some having links to criminal smuggling networks across Europe.
Policymakers confront significant constraints in addressing the population of unauthorized migrants, including tackling illegal migration. This report, part of a Transatlantic Council on Migration series focused on migration "bad actors," explores the trade-offs that policymakers face with respect to comprehensive enforcement efforts.
This policy brief traces the successes and failures of the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act, which represented the first and most comprehensive legislation to take on the issue of illegal immigration to the United States. The brief makes the case that IRCA's major flaws were rooted in statutory design more than regulatory challenges and implementation by the administrative agencies.
This report analyzes how governments ought to best allocate their resources to address the risks associated with migration—the "immigration harms" that undermine the positive economic and social benefits of immigration—including choosing which threats to tackle and where to prioritize enforcement efforts. Immigration policymakers can learn from other public policy regulation efforts to ensure that regulatory actions advance the public interest.
This report analyzes the exploitation of migrants in three spheres: the domestic care sector, the labor market, and the sex industry. It details several obstacles governments face in their efforts to weaken the "bad actors" that profit from exploitation, and shows how one of the biggest challenges facing law enforcement is that serious criminals and lawbreakers often operate on the edge of legality and exploit legal routes wherever possible.
This report outlines the security-related challenges that borders are intended to address—including terrorism, human smuggling and trafficking, illegal migration, and drug trafficking—and, in turn, the perverse consequences that tighter border enforcement can generate. As states implement extensive border controls and deterrence measures to prevent illegal migration, they indirectly push unauthorized migrants into the hands of smugglers and traffickers.
This edited volume showcases approaches toward border management in Europe, Central America, and North America, and reflects on the challenges that countries in these regions face in managing their borders. The book brings together perspectives from both sides of the Atlantic on what border security means in practice, the challenges that continue to evade policymakers, and what policies have been the most (and least) successful in achieving "secure" borders.
The 10th annual Immigration Law and Policy Conference featured keynotes by U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and former Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, as well as panel discussions covering a range of key immigration topics.

If I had invented the laws of physics, things would have been different. In my car, instead of a gas pedal, I would be simply pressing down to be at the speed I wanted to go. No time lag, just get there. No worries about whether the arrangement of my internal organs could keep pace with the infinite acceleration.
I, like most others, need however to live in a world where mass counts, power is needed. OK, so my ideal car has lots of power on tap to be able to get me closer to my ideal driving experience. I read every month in the car magazines about the new models and how much additional power they have. I wish that there was a simple chart in which I could see which cars have the most power. On second thoughts, it would not be enough though, since power doesn't really mean acceleration, there is the weight of the car to consider. OK, I need a chart for the acceleration time, 0 – 60. Top of the chart no doubt would be the Ferraris and the like, way outside of my price range. OK, I now need a qualified chart to show me the opportunities that I have within my price range. Hang on though, how good are these cars at going around corners? Aagh!
This is the car buying process in the Michael mind. Other things, like colour (it will be black), how many seats, all of that kind of stuff is just detail. For other people however, it may matter that a car has four, five or seven seats. It may be essential that the gas mileage is within a certain budget, colours other than black may be a consideration, I guess.
A lot of data about cars, a lot of different people with different needs and therefore different points of view. This is why the car magazines list up tables of so many facts and figures every month. Unfortunately, the font gets a bit small, there is a bit of a "sticker shock" reaction about all of the technical stuff, too much information, too technical, too difficult to understand. Perhaps one or two columns were of useful interest, but they are lost to the first glance.
It is the same issue in the world of electronics manufacturing and assembly. There are so many sources of data, performance, execution metrics, material usage, quality metrics, and each one of these explodes into many different pieces of information. There are hundreds of parameters that can be monitored and reported, each on their own, but also each on combination with others to build more meaningful information. The power of a data warehouse with a Business Intelligence reporting system on top is actually a great tool to be able to create the reports, tables and statistics that provide real bottom line improvement opportunity. The question is which of these are the most effective. Though there are recognized standards to define things like Equipment Productivity and Overall Equipment Effectiveness, these are, like the hundreds of other KPIs, defined for a very specific responsibility for a very specific purpose. The ability to dynamically create and use KPIs is a key Industrial Engineering technology in itself. KPIs have to be determined based on the actual needs of the business. Which are these KPIs then? Which are the ones that will help my business?
This opens up some very interesting topics of discussion, which are included in the latest in our Webinar series "Inside Technologies", our webinar entitled "Achieving Real Benefit From Performance Monitoring" which will take place on the 26th of June.
Having lots of information is one thing, the value comes from making something out of it…. If you really want to know things, these webinars should not be missed!

Sleeveless Wetsuits
Sleeveless wetsuits are a great option for many triathletes. They provide core body warmth and buoyancy without the constraint of sleeves. As a general rule they are faster to remove during transition and they can be more economical for the first time triathlete.

It was bound to happen eventually.
I come from a very conservative christian family so it should come as no surprise to you that my being a very socially liberal atheist, not to mention a lesbian, was not accepted with open loving arms by them. The other day I received a facebook message from one of my dad's sisters living in Ohio. I rarely see her and we haven't had a legitimate conversation in all the time that I've known her but she said that she saw that I had listed "atheist" under my religious views. "I realize being an atheist is the cool thing to do," she told me, "but I hope one day you grow smarter and you'll see the error in your ways. Until then, God Bless."
I was quick to reply.
"It seems to me that the current cool thing in this country is rampant anti-intellectualism and the outcasting of anyone who prefers the sound evidence of science and reason over a mythical supreme being with a faulty moral structure. Tell your God to keep his blessings and as far my "growing smarter"? I'll work on that...thanks."
Yes, I guess she does think she's more intelligent. It could be a coincidence that I'm currently working towards my masters degree in philosophy and english literature and she's an unemployed high school dropout...
But probably not.
Anyone else have a similar experience to share?

Is being an atheist really the cool thing to do?
Every time I say to a person that I am an atheist and don't believe in a god or gods, they look at me with disgust and think I'm a satan loving, immoral, genocidal manic bent on world domination.
I'v never seemed cool when saying I don't believe, but I guess thats what I get for analyzing the data and coming to a logical and rational conclusion that god probably doesn't exist. How uncool of you and I.
"Is being an atheist really the cool thing to do?"
Anytime someone younger than you does something you don't understand, they're just jumping on the latest fad or going through a phase. Every time someone older than you does something you don't understand, they're just set in their ways and stuck in the past... unless they're old enough to be called senile. Any time someone the same age as you does something you don't understand, they're just an idiot or confused.
Everything can be explained away when you don't waste time thinking about it.
Every time I say to a person that I am an atheist and don't believe in a god or gods, they look at me with disgust and think I'm a satan loving, immoral, genocidal manic bent on world domination.
That's true that most people react like that (in the US, especially in the Bible belt), and it's funny the way you put it. On the other hand, I think a lot of people are pretty cool with it as long as you keep it to yourself. It's almost like it's okay if they suspect you are an atheist - they can deal with the suspicion and still accept you as long as you don't spell it out for them. I'm not saying this means one should keep it to themselves. It's just an observation.
I have a religious aunt and I lied and told her "I don't know if there is a God or not but I pray just in case" and she was good with that. Sure, she in sprinkles a little religion into our conversations now and then (which are usually e-mail conversations), but she never pins me up against a wall about it or anything. However, if I were to tell her I was an atheist, I have no idea how she would react but I do have a feeling it would knock me down a million notches in her esteem.
The idea that family could even contemplate of acting like some kind of thought police, much less actually do so is alien to our culture and totally alien to me. I really have a hard time wrapping my mind around such behavior. It seems to me (at least one of) the worst kind(s) of betrayal there exists.
But as far as this particular woman goes one should keep in mind that being ignorant doesn't necessarily make you less certain of your convictions, even when certain about absurd ideas that stand in direct opposition to other rational ideas about reality she holds are absolutely true, or when false memories or being shown to be wrong with evidence to the contrary.
"...but I hope one day you grow smarter and you'll see the error in your ways."
That's a bit like the arguments we used as little kids.
You're stupid.
Well you're stupider.
I know you are but what am I?
Stupid... times infinity plus one.
Yeah, well, my dad could beat up your dad.
To the speaker, I'd wager it feels like they've scored a point. To everyone else, it feels painfully embarrassing.
font is extremely purple..and hard to read on a dark background. anyway, I have an aunt...no, scratch that, I'm not even sure how she is related to me....point is, I see her like once a year and she found out about my atheism the same way. Facebook. which is fine by me, I dont want to hide it for anything. anyway, before hand my other relatives didnt know that I was an atheist since everyone in my family, like you're family..is a very conservative christian one. it stirred up a little drama to say the least. My grandmother tried to hold an intervention. yeah...
They really do all seem to think that it's a fad of some sort, even though knowing me, they would know that I've never been one to jump on the band wagon. Not to mention atheism is like, the smallest minority belief, or should i say lack their of, that i know of. Eeeeveryone judges us. it's not cool in the slightest.
Since you came from a very conservative christian family..
I think you are so brave to come out and say I am an atheist..
I appreciated this kind of courage!
Myself, I can not come out and say that in an explicit way....all what I did is a hint saying.
You've done the right thing..don't bother youself being stracized by your family..
life is a beautiful opportunity that deserves to be experienced...
And remember,
"Stand up for what you believe in, even if it means standing up alone"
I make sure to tell everyone quite quickly that I'm an atheist if I intend to start a friendship with them. If they're turned away, so be it. Such discriminating people aren't the kind of friends I'd like.
As for family matters, no. Although my parents haven't really said they're atheists to anyone (we live in Texas, and that complicates things), but either way they're very secular and they agree with my atheism. I congratulate you for coming out so honestly, though. I don't think I could if I were in that situation.

Hui-Kuo G. Shu, MD, PhD
Last Modified: July 14, 2002
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My eight-month-old grandson has retinoblastoma. Can you give me some information about the use of radiation in treating a child this young?
Hui-Kuo G. Shu, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor Dept. of Radiation Oncology University of Pennsylvania, responds:
The standard for the treatment of retinoblastoma has been evolving and newer approaches have increasingly avoided radiation therapy, when possible. These newer approaches often involve the use of chemotherapy to reduce tumor size followed by local therapies (i.e. laser photocoagulation, cryotherapy). Radiation can effectively treat retinoblastoma and there are still many situations where radiation therapy is an appropriate and viable treatment even in patients as young as eight months. However, this therapy can have late sequelae including but not necessarily limited to temporal bone and orbital hypoplasia, cataracts, secondary cancers and decreased tearing. Treatments are generally tailored for each particular patient based on many factors and may range from chemotherapy/local therapy in less advanced cases to radiation therapy for more advanced cases where vision preservation is still possible to enucleation in advanced cases where visual preservation is no longer achievable. As always, you should consult the child's physician to discuss the various treatment options that are appropriate in the particular case.
Apr 7, 2010 - Women who are treated for cancer at a young age with chest radiation therapy have an increased risk of developing breast cancer at a young age, according to a systematic literature review published in the April 6 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.
