HavPlenty Sep 1, 2011 at 2:41 pm
What I'd like to know is, is there an option in this upgrade that allows users to simply turn the wallpaper changer completely off??? Sometimes when I purchase a new theme, I like to keep the theme walls displayed, but wallpaper changer stays on, pulling from the personal folder I selected. It was very annoying, but I hope it was addressed in this release.

I use it, but not all of it's capabilities. For a while I was using it to grab various categories randomly from the CB wallpaper site. But mostly I use it now to cycle through a folder I keep on my SD card of neat sci-fi kind of wallpapers. I cycle every 30 minutes.
I love this program.

This is a perfect gift for me. I'm always changing wallpapers.
Good luck to all
For those not aware, there is a sister "app" that comes built-in which is called "quick wallpaper change". This way, even with your main settings in the primary app, you can create a keyboard shortcut (via Quicklaunch, for example) to make quick ad-hoc switches.

Joel Trammell, Contributor
I offer practical advice for current and aspiring CEOs.
It is very difficult for a CEO to get objective feedback from anyone within his or her organization. For this reason, it is critical that the board – whose primary role is to provide oversight and assistance to the CEO – provide a clear feedback mechanism. As someone who spends a lot of time in board meetings, I have found that many boards don't know how to do this. To help remedy this, I've begun using a report card to help the boards I am on evaluate the CEOs we work with around the country.
In my experience, the reason most boards are not particularly strong in giving formal feedback is because there is not clear agreement on what the CEO should actually be doing. While everyone agrees he or she should deliver a return to shareholders, the next level of detail is usually missing. The trend towards a more diverse board composition often means few board members have experience in the chief executive role; they may not have even given much thought to the question of what the CEO's job really is versus what others in the organization should handle.
In order to solve the problem of not knowing how to evaluate a CEO, I use the following scorecard, which corresponds to what I think are the key responsibilities of a CEO. I ask each board member to fill out the scorecard covering six areas, giving the CEO letter grades from A to F in each category. In addition, I ask the CEO to fill out the same report card to rate his own performance in each area. We then review the report cards with the CEO. If the CEO is executing in each of the following areas, shareholder value will follow.
Own the Vision – I use the word vision, but this area includes the entire corporate strategy. Has the CEO signed off on and communicated a clear vision, mission, corporate values and strategy to all stakeholders, both internal and external? Is it an effective strategy that leverages the unique strengths of the organization to establish a clear competitive advantage? Do employees come to work excited by the mission of the company? Do customers and shareholders know what to expect from the company?
Provide the Proper Human Resources – How many times have we heard CEOs say "Our people are our most important resource"? If that is the case, then has the CEO built a company whose people are clearly better than the competition? It is easy for the CEO to say we have great people, but if they are not as good as the competition at acquiring talent, then the company is at a competitive disadvantage every day in the market. While all the members of the team are important, the board and CEO should pay special attention to the executive team and provide clear succession planning. In the human resources area, the board should consider two key questions: Is the CEO getting the right people? And then, is the CEO making sure they are developed to perform to their fullest potential?
Provide the Proper Capital and Other Resources – No business can continue to function without the proper financial resources. Those resources can come from external funding sources or from the internal operations of the company. The CEO must constantly anticipate the needs of the organization and not allow a shortage of resources to cause the company to miss opportunities. Additionally, the CEO is the one person in the company in the position to bring in external expertise. Has the CEO attracted the right board members and surrounded himself with external advisors and service providers that can provide real value to the company?
Build the Culture – I define culture simply as how things get done in an organization. High-performance cultures don't just appear, as they require a CEO who understands what motivates people throughout the organization. Too many CEOs allow the culture to develop organically and then are surprised when people develop attitudes that aren't aligned with the company's vision, mission and goals. Is the CEO setting the standards for the company or is each employee left to his or her own standards? Are the company's stated values applied consistently across the company? Is the culture driving a high level of performance consistently across the organization, or is performance highly variable based upon the particular group?
Make Decisions Well – Decisions are the fuel on which every organization runs. The quality and speed with which decisions are made determine the productivity of the organization. The CEO is responsible not only for the decisions he makes but also any decisions his management team makes. Building an organization that consistently makes thoughtful choices in a timely manner is one of toughest but most valuable things a CEO can accomplish. Does the organization run like a well-oiled machine or are there constant stops and starts as decisions are either: 1) not made or 2) have to be sent to the top for review?
Deliver Performance – At the end of the day as we all know, CEOs are responsible for delivering performance. The challenge with evaluating performance directly is that it often takes years to see how things play out. Instead of just waiting to see what happens, the CEO must work with his management team to understand the key metrics in each area that will lead to superior performance. I worked with new executives and directors to agree on the three to five metrics that would drive performance in their area. Is there a clear system of goals and metrics that tie to the vision, mission, values and strategy of the company? Does the CEO know what makes the business work, and can he identify problem areas before they significantly impact performance?
By evaluating the CEO in these six areas, boards can provide great feedback and start a valuable conversation with any CEO.
Excellent article, Joel. The piece you're not really getting at though is how to gather that information. In working with my clients, I don't care how much a CEO thinks s/he has open and honest communication with direct reports and employees, they don't. There are just some issues that employees don't feel comfortable addressing. This could be for a variety of reasons, i.e. feeling intimidated, thinking the CEO won't listen anyway, fearing that they could lose their job or their standing with the CEO if the truth was told, etc. I find that the best way to gather the info is by conducting an interview-style 360 with employees. It allows for feedback that can be backed up with real-life examples of behaviors. That verbatim feedback (confidential and anonymous) is what will have the most significant impact on the CEO. And a summary presented to board members will help them to answer and address the great questions you presented. Great article! Thanks for publishing.
I agree with you wholeheartedly about getting good feedback to the CEO and Board. Interesting though how many CEOs are afraid of it. I had a board member recently ask me what the key is to getting CEOs to embrace 360s. It's a shame many fear it, when feedback is the perfect opportunity to learn and grow. CEOs require employees to undergo yearly performance reviews. They can see the benefit it those. Seems only logical that they go through a similar process.
Again, thanks for a great article. I look forward to following you.
This is a really interesting article to read on evaluating a CEO's performance. Thanks Joel for your insights.

Short History:
Sony Xperia is the family of Sony smartphones and tablets. The line has been manufactured since 2008 and currently accounts for more than half of the company's mobile phone sales. The name Xperia is derived from the word "experience", and was first used in the Xperia X1 tagline, "I (Sony Ericsson) Xperia the best".
The Xperia X1 was the first phone to be released in the Xperia range. Released in 2008, it featured a high resolution display (~311 ppi pixel density) and it was intended to fill the widening gap of smartphones as other competitors were producing high-end smartphone devices such as HTC andApple. The X2 was released in the following year, which included an 8.1 MP camera and included Wifi and GPS. By this time there was a clear shift towards the smartphone end of the spectrum. An exception was the Xperia Pureness, a translucent phone without camera that was sold by selected retailers in selected cities.[2][3]
The X10 was released at the start of 2010, it was the first in the Xperia line to feature the Android operating system, where previous models ran on the Windows Mobile OS. The phone was praised on its design, but its downfall was the outdated version of Android which was 1.6 at a time when competitors were on 2.1. There was a great delay in the update of the firmware, due to the heavily skinned OS, as well as Timescape and Mediascape which needed to be reprogrammed every time an update was made. The phone also lacked pinch to zoom, but this was added later as well as HD video recording. The X10 Mini and the X10 Mini Pro were, as the name suggests, miniature versions of the X10. These were welcomed with good response and proved to be very popular as there were no other smartphones on the market at that time which were as small as the two.

SSAB's high strength steels provide advantages in the form of stronger, lighter and more durable solutions. This leads to improved total economy, a reduced impact on the environment, and products with a longer lifespan. The by-products from the steel production processes are used in new, innovative solutions. This contributes to closing the eco-cycle and to create new markets for SSAB.
SSAB's high strength steels provide an improved economy and environment in all stages. From a life cycle perspective, the high strength steels generate lower carbon dioxide emissions than standard steels. Light and durable steel designs save material and energy, both in the production and user stages. High strength steels are stronger than standard steels. Consequently, less steel is used in the manufacture of a product, which also reduces emissions.
An advance, high-strength steel makes it possible to produce vehicle structures that weigh much less, which increases the load efficiency and reduces the emissions from transportation. Vehicles, excavation machinery and lifting cranes made of SSAB's steel last longer, which in turn reduce emissions.
SSAB delivered 1 585 (1,713) thousand tonnes of niche products in 2012, which was 38 % (37) of the company´s shipments. SSAB's strategy is to increase shipments of niche products to 50% of total shipments in 2015.
SSAB has a Research and Development Council tasked with leading the development and realizing the potential of high strength steels. The Council coordinates work within the area and is entrusted with ensuring a continuous transfer of technology between the business areas.
Through an established dialogue between SSAB and its customers, new products are developed which meet the needs of the various markets. SSAB has Knowledge Service Centers in the different business areas. The aim is to strengthen SSAB's position as a leading producer of high strength steels, while at the same time developing the markets in North and Latin America and Asia through advanced offerings based on SSAB's cutting edge expertise.
Nearly one half of the steel produced in the world is used in China, which is considered the engine of the global steel market. SSAB is now strengthening its positions in Asia, particularly in China, in order to offer various high-strength steel products in the region.
By investing in a finishing line in Kunshan , SSAB will be able to reduce lead times and optimize the products based on the customers´ needs. With the new research and development center in Kunshan, SSAB will become an important partner for Chinese customers, who will benefit from the knowledge and experience available within the Group.
In 2012, 160 (214) thousand tonnes of niche products were shipped to Asia, which corresponds to 10 % (12) of SSAB's total shipments. Asia's share of the total shipments of niche products is estimated at 20% in 2015.

Every day, HSLDA Special Needs/
Struggling Learner coordinators encourage HSLDA members and answer their questions. Here are answers to a few questions they recently received.
How do watching TV and
playing computer games
affect children?
Faith Berens: On this topic, I tend to lean toward the saying, "Everything in moderation." As 1 Corinthians 10:23a tells us, " 'Everything is permissible'-but not everything is beneficial" (NIV). I think many of us would do well to rethink how much "screen time" we allow our children. I have found in my own home that the computer, handheld video games, and TV time can be major threats to constructive learning, family conversation time, creative play, and time for pleasure reading. When children watch TV or other related media, they are allowed to be passive, rather than active and imaginative thinkers. Susan Wise Bauer and Jessie Wise discuss this in their book, The Well-Trained Mind:
Language requires the mind to work harder; in reading, the brain is forced to translate a symbol (words on the page) into a concept. Images, such as those on videos and television, allow the mind to be passive. In front of a video screen, the brain can sit back and relax; faced with the written page, the mind is required to roll its sleeves up and get to work.
As a culture, we are certainly beginning to see the negative impact of too much
TV and other screen time, through the
rise of childhood obesity and children's exposure to violence, sex, and substance abuse. Too much screen time can also negatively affect normal early brain development, particularly during the first two
years of life when so many synapses and neural pathways are being formed. In fact, Dr. Jane Healy writes about the negative effects of media on brain development in
her book Endangered Minds. Some studies have even begun to link toddler TV viewing to later attention problems in school settings.
Finally, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no TV for children age 2 or younger. For older children, the academy recommends no more than 1–2 hours per day of educational, nonviolent programs. (See resource sidebar.)
My child can't seem to be
able to do any schoolwork by himself. As soon as I walk away, he stops working. How can I help him?
Dianne Craft: This is a common complaint from homeschooling moms. The first step is to consider whether the work is at your child's ability level. End-of-the-year tests (see resource sidebar) or other curriculum testing will help you determine that. If you know that the work is on your child's level, and he does understand the assignment you have given him, there are several other considerations. Struggling children frequently have an immature nervous system that is causing them to expend much more of their energy to stay focused on a task. Their immature nervous systems seem to require the presence of an adult in order to stay on task. Many moms try to complete their own chores before giving their child an assignment. They can then sit with the child until his work is done.
Another step to consider is
keeping workbook writing to a minimum. Do as much as you can orally. Just check off the page as "done" once your child has given you the answers verbally. Greatly reduce the amount of problems assigned to this child, and do them on the whiteboard together. Your child will love that!
Lastly, make sure that your child is not suffering from a treatable physical issue that is making it harder for him to stay focused, and keep his nervous system in order. Your pediatrician can do a thorough exam to check for things such as anemia (or subclinical anemia), a thyroid issue, overgrowth of yeast or fungus, and food allergies or sensitivities. (See resource sidebar.) Children tend to act out how they feel. It is good to check for physical causes for a child's difficulty before assuming that it is something that he can totally control.
How can I help my child improve his ability to express himself so that others can understand exactly what he means?
HSLDA's Special Needs/Struggling Learner coordinators offer a variety of resources for
parents of struggling learners or children with special needs. HSLDA members may contact
Faith Berens, Dianne Craft, and Betty Statnick for counsel and suggestions. Call 540-338-5600
or visit www.hslda.org/contactstaff.
For helpful resources 24/7 or to sign up for our e-newsletter, visit www.hslda.org/strugglinglearner.
Betty Statnick: Many times when parents ask me this question, their child does not have any stuttering, articulation, or lowered IQ issues. I glean from these conversations that the children in question have what I categorize as "Pronoun-itis." They "flip" pronouns around much like a cook flips pancakes. I explain to parents that using pronouns is perfectly acceptable if a person has already established who or what the pronoun is referring to. However, to exclaim (without any prior explanation or introduction) "He did it!" "I can't find it," or "I put it over there" will leave the hearer wondering who or what the speaker is talking about. I recommend that parents do not permit pronouns to be used for a period of time. For instance, "She put it over there" is unacceptable and should be replaced with, "Mary placed the book on the white bookcase."
Another manifestation of expressive language problems occurs when students employ (in their speaking or writing) what I label as "outlawed words." My aim is to have students employ more precise, colorful words.thing, whatchamacallit, good, nice, fun, did, neat, and cool. So we retire those overworked words and develop a replacement list: exciting, colorful, delicious, tasty, fascinating, difficult, overwhelming. I tell parents to have their children be on the lookout for other words they would like to add to either list.
More than one parent has said to me, "My child's difficulty in trying to get across what he wants to say has made me more aware of my own manner of expressing myself." A parent can always be a positive role model when giving directions. Consider this scenario: Mom, Dad, and children have gone to the shopping mall. Mom says to Dad, "I'll meet you at two o'clock here in Macy's women's shoe department." (She might even add a memory clue: "Two shoes, two feet, two p.m.") There is no haziness about those directions!
We are always communicating (sometimes with words and sometimes without words). When it comes to words, we want to be understood. Therefore, we definitely need to take steps to make it easier for others to grasp what we intend to say.
Television and screen time
Task focus and health
Clearing up communication

Forty years after James Brown made a classic live album at Harlem's Apollo Theater, the Godfather of Soul will return to the venerable venue for a guest-filled anniversary concert.
Brown will take to the stage of New York City's Apollo on November 20th and 21st, though no further concert information is available. The seventy-year-old singer plans to hold a September 18th press conference in the city to give more details.
As for the 1963 Apollo performance by the Hardest Working Man in Show Business, it's widely considered to have yielded one of the best live records in rock & roll history, featuring hits like "Try Me" and "Please Please Please," delivered with Brown's live-wire gusto. The album was Brown's first to have charted, reaching Number Two and staying in the Top Forty for thirty-three weeks. Live at the Apollo was also something of an anomaly during its release, a full-length soul album amid an industry that was almost exclusively singles-driven. It served as a launching pad for Brown's career, which to that point had been relegated to the R&B charts, with only three singles scratching the deeper side of the Top Forty. After Apollo, he had fourteen records reach the Top Forty (pop) over the next eleven years, including 1968's Live at the Apollo, Volume II and 1972's Revolution of the Mind: Live at the Apollo, Volume III.
In addition to establishing Brown's career, the album also lent the Apollo a regal cache as venue of choice among artists for live albums. The Supremes, B.B. King, Bob Marley, Hall and Oates, and Patti Labelle have also recorded there.

I'M JUST GRATEFUL!! Grateful that I feel twenty years younger than my numerical age, grateful for a life that's full of joy, grateful to have wonderful friends, grateful to have my own gifts; a few of which are to love immeasurably, to forgive immediately, and to not waste time disapproving of others but to invest in my own life instead. I am an open minded person who promotes diversity and advocates for disabled individuals. I am a mother, a student, a journalist, a talk show host, a marathoner, a biker, an amateur bird watcher and a lifetime volunteer. My favorite books as a child were "Charlotte's Web" and "The Hundred Dresses." My favorite movie as a child was "Of Mice and Men." My favorite quote is by Marianne Williamson: In it she says, "there is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine... We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same." Tomorrow's endeavors are kayaking, modern dance, another Chicago marathon and the publication of my first book.

Polling station switch for Colne vote
1:53pm Tuesday 16th October 2012 in News
PEOPLE living in certain areas of Horsfield in Colne will need to vote at a different polling station from now on.
It is due to changes to the boundaries of two of the polling districts.
The next time residents will have the chance to vote is on Thursday November 15, when the first ever Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) elections take place.
Gillian Turpin, Pendle Council's elections manager, said: "All Pendle residents should be receiving polling cards now for the Lancashire PCC election.
"Please check the polling station printed on the card, as this may be different to the one you have used in the past.
"These changes don't affect everyone, but if you're unsure about anything, please call the elections team on (01282) 661662."
Voters in 41 police force areas across England and Wales will elect their PCC.
The PCC's role is to hold the police force to account and decide how crime should be tackled.

This is an irritating problem, but an easily solved one; when you embed the fonts of a dynamic text field, then it can be transformed without causing the text to disappear.
Embedding fonts causes the font information (or typestyle, if you prefer) to be saved as part of the exported SWF data. This can be useful if you need to apply various transformations, but be wary; font data can range anywhere from 5KB to several megabytes, and you may want to reconsider applying transformations to dynamic text fields if it would require turning a 25KB SWF file into a 10MB one.
Turning on font embedding is just a matter of a few clicks; with the text field selected, click on the Character button in the Properties pane for the field.

CHICAGO — Considered a complement to Seattle's run-based offense, the zone read option became the main course against the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson ran the option offense, usually something reserved for college games on Saturdays, against a Chicago defense geared toward shutting down Marshawn Lynch and Seattle's inside running game.
Wilson finished with a career-best 71 yards on nine carries.
"We thought we had something going a little bit," Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. "And we were able to kind of control the ball. We weren't ripping them, but we controlled the ball. And Russell did a great job reading it.
"We felt like we just didn't have to load up against them. They have a very powerful front, and it gave us a chance to finesse it a little bit."
Wilson said the Seahawks ran the option more toward the end of the game as the team continued to have success grinding it out on the ground.
"Especially in the last, fourth quarter and the end of the game as well, (I was telling the coaches), 'Hey, that read option is wide open pretty much,' " Wilson said. "So we just have to trust the process, and make sure I'm making the right reads."
Seattle tackle Russell Okung said the option provides a good change of pace to Seattle's regular running offense.
"With Russell being the athlete that he is, it's a basic thing," Okung said. "We option off of the (defensive) end, and if he's not disciplined, we'll break on him. And we have certain ways we can switch it up. And with all the work we've been doing on it for the past few weeks, it's showing up."
Seahawks defensive tackle Red Bryant did not practice all week due to plantar fasciitis, and was considered a long shot to play Sunday.
But Bryant passed his conditioning test with the trainers before the game, and was allowed to suit up against the Bears. Bryant finished with two tackles, and helped Seattle's defense hold the Bears to 132 yards on the ground.
"That's amazing, because we didn't think he was going to play," Carroll said about Bryant. "I thought Leroy (Hill) might be able to, but he didn't get through the (pregame) workout. And Red did. Just to make it out, that was a great challenge for him. And he pulled it through, and toughed it out."
Bryant said he understands he'll have to deal with the painful injury for the rest of the season.
"It's just one of those nagging injuries that's only going to heal with time," Bryant said. "And so I've just got to keep fighting."
Carroll said guard James Carpenter felt a twinge in his surgically repaired knee in the first half, so he replaced him with John Moffitt at left guard. It was the second consecutive game Carpenter had to leave the game because of an injury. Carpenter did not return to the game. Carroll said Carpenter had X-rays on his knee, which came back negative. Carroll said Carpenter will have a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on Monday. … For Chicago, receiver Earl Bennett sustained a concussion and did not return. Safety Chris Conte was sick and had to leave the game. Cornerback Tim Jennings suffered a shoulder injury on a hard tackle against Seattle fullback Michael Robinson late in the contest. And linebacker Brian Urlacher left the field on the final drive of the game with a hamstring injury. … In his first action of the season, cornerback Walter Thurmond played about 20 plays in nickel passing situations as a fifth defensive back, and did not record a tackle. "I'm just helping the team out as much as possible whenever they need me, Thurmond said. "We had a couple third downs in there and had to get off the field, so it was just fun to be back." … Linebacker Malcolm Smith finished with two tackles, including a tackle for a loss, in his first career start for Hill (ankle). … Rookie middle linebacker Bobby Wagner led the team in tackles again with 11 (nine primary, two assists), and also recorded his third sack of the season.

Four years ago politicians and environmentalists loudly complained that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was planning to take much too long — up to four years — to come up with a comprehensive plan to keep Asian Carp out of the Great Lakes. Their complaints went nowhere.
Now the long-awaited report is out, and the disappointment is even more palpable. Not only did the Corps burn four crucial years but the document falls far short of what was expected.
Instead of creating and endorsing a single best plan - or even a suggested multi-pronged strategy - for keeping the carp out, the Corps analyzed eight possible approaches that feature different mixtures of technologies and structures to do the job, including locks, sluice gates, physical and electric barriers and water treatment systems. That's not a plan, it's a book report.
Worse is that, in the end, deciding a way forward will be left mostly to the politicians.
If it were possible, the Corps should be fired for failing to do the job it was tasked to do; at the very least, whoever was responsible for getting the job done should be sacked. Congress told the Corps to find a solution, and it failed.
This is a major setback in the effort to stem the carp tide that could have real consequences. In recent months researchers have found evidence of the carp in waters just a couple miles from Lake Michigan and discovered that, contrary to previous speculation, carp can reproduce in the lakes. Time is running out.
Big head or silver carp were brought to the United States decades ago to clean fish farms and water systems in the South. They escaped into the Mississippi River and have been eating their way north ever since. The fish have been found in canals and waterways near Chicago.

"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
Yes, in the free skate she looked like she was back on the road towards where she wants to be.
I enjoyed the free skate. It shows off her speed and power in a way that last year's free skate did not do.
http://blogs.edmontonjournal.com/201.......That's great and sounds like her head is in a good place and the injury is pretty much behind her.
Addicted to FSU
Fixed clarie's article link : http://blogs.edmontonjournal.com/201...ada-challenge/
Because she still isn't 100-per-cent healthy, Osmond and her coach, Ravi Walia, took out a triple jump and changed one of her double axels at the end of her free program to a single axel. They've also changed two of her spins as "precautionary measures for my leg."
"We're hoping by nationals I'll definitely have all my jumps in and, hopefully, my regular spins in," she said.
Osmond said her injured leg didn't bother her at all during the competition.
"It was perfect all weekend," she said. "I was being more cautious and not letting the excitement of the competition take over and make me do something I normally wouldn't do. It survived the weekend and I was just excited to get to my long program."
"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
I was also particularly pleased with her improved control. You can see her consciously correcting her mistakes from the SP and remembering to bring her free side around on her jump landings. She wasn't really able to do that last season.
This made me chuckle:
And just this past spring she was mourning the loss of her Carmen FP. Reminds you that she's still very much a teenager.People that Ive talked to absolutely loved the program and my dress, she said. That whole program is my favourite program ever.
images on ice - Figure Skating Photography
I thought the lutz looked much improved. She didn't get an edge call and it looked like a clean outside edge to me...thoughts? She got GOE on it too.
I agree on the lutz - I was actually surprised by how easy and clean it looked whereas last season it was kind of ugly even when she landed it. I'm glad to see that her season looks like it is back on track and to hear that she was pain-free as the short had been very concerning. Good decision by the team to simplify some of the program at the end because it was clear that stamina was an issue in the long with the lost training time.
[QUOTE=sk8hrd;4075271]She flutzed it! You can clearly see it on the streaming even that she didn't go to the outside edge. I don't know why the tech caller didn't call it?[/QUOTE
She was on an outside edge. It is whether she jumped from an inside. Remember she skates in the opposite direction of many skaters.
I love the fact that Kaetlyn seems to have such great competitive nerves. I really do sense that she loves to compete. She has found herself unexpectedly in first place after the short eg. last year's Skate Canada - and not gotten rattled. She handled the pressure of her first World's in Canada - only shot for earning Canada two ladies spots for the Olympics - and she handled that with confidence - skating a fantastic short and good long to finish top ten. She obviously chose to do Challenge even though she had a bye and after a less then stellar short - came blazing back in the long to capture the title. I don't think you can teach that - it is a gift.
pug lover
Absolutely true, puglover. Can't wait to see her at Nationals.
Best of luck kaetlyn!!
Really glad to hear the freeskate went much better! Best of luck to Katelyn for Nationals.
Kaetlyn Osmond posted her FS on her fan page on Facebook. Enjoy
Beautifully skated choreography. The maturity shown in the program is so far ahead of the other skaters in the competition.
I liked that.......very impressive especially after coming off injury like she has. I sure am looking forward to Nats. WTG Kaetlyn!!!!
Addicted to FSU
She really looks like she worked on her positions and extension over the summer
What I can appreciate about KO is that her programs feel like a real program that builds and tells a story, pulling the audience with her. Some programs feel like an array of elements, simply paced through the program to maximize points without any regard for feeling like a complete piece. Kaetlyn and Lance Vipond have this nailed, so do choreographers like Pasquale Camerlengo as evidenced by his work with Akiko Suzuki.
Lots to be appreciated in Kaetlyn, wishing her a successful season.

The backbone of so many dishes, always keep plenty of plain flour on hand to whip up biscuits, cakes, breads, muffins and a world of baked goods. Plain flour is usually a soft flour and is best for cakes and pastries as it has less gluten, and therefore makes a softer dough.
Type the ingredients you want to use, then click Go. For better results you can use quotation marks around phrases (e.g. "chicken breast"). Alternatively you can search by chef, programme, cuisine, diet, or dish (e.g. Lasagne).

Welcome from Greg Reed, Department Head
The Department of Teaching at the University of Northern Iowa provides premier preparation of new teachers, including powerful clinical courses; intensive and extensive experiences in partner schools across the state, nation, and world; and a collaborative model of joint inquiry, supervision and support by outstanding mentor teachers and UNI faculty. In addition, the Department provides courses, workshops, professional development, and other outreach to practicing teachers and participates in the learning communities of schools whenever possible.
The Department of Teaching values the art, science and craft of teaching. Our department includes more than forty faculty, the vast majority of whom are tenured/tenure-track faculty, who:
- teach clinical courses and associated early field experiences in a university-wide teacher education program
- teach student teaching seminars and provide supervision in ten student teaching centers across the state of Iowa as well as an out-of-state/international center
- teach the Human Relations course required by the teacher education program
- teach graduate courses and workshops offered as professional development for teachers
- collaborate with mentor teachers, site coordinators, administrators and other school leaders to build mutually-beneficial school-university partnerships
- study and advance the scholarship of teaching and learning and strive to improve PreK-12 student achievement
The Legacy of the Laboratory School, the Vision of Professional Development Schools
The current and future work of the Department of Teaching is rooted in the foundation of the mission of the university's laboratory school, which was closed in 2012. A laboratory school has been associated with the university since 1883 under different names and in different locations on campus. Chapter 265 of the Iowa Code defines a laboratory school as "a school operated by an educational institution for the purpose of instructing students, training teachers, and advancing teaching methods." For 129 years, the laboratory school faculty and administrators provided outstanding PreK-12 education, served as a clinical experience and demonstration site for preservice teacher education and innovated new curricula, teaching strategies, and programs to advance teaching methods. You can read more about the history and legacy of the laboratory school at Rod Library Special Collections and pricelabhistory.org.
Today, the department continues to be integrally engaged in teaching, teacher education, outreach and professional development, research and service in partnership with PreK-12 schools. A formal Professional Development School partnership with Cedar Falls and Waterloo schools and a network of other partnerships and ongoing relationships with schools across the state, nation and world are now the foundation of the department's work and impact.
Department of Teaching Head Search
With my impending retirement, the department has launched a national, external search for a new department head. Contact search chair Becky Hawbaker (email@example.com), 319-273-7664 with any questions. The job description can be found here and applications can be submitted at Jobs@UNI.

Some of your favorite holiday traditions — open hearths, candles and holiday cooking — can also increase the risk for house fires.
"All of us at Barrow County Emergency Services want to remind our friends and neighbors that being prepared and practicing safety can make this a holiday season full of great memories," Lt. Scott Dakin, public information officer, said in a news release.
According to the United States Fire Administration, an estimated 2,000 Thanksgiving Day fires in residential buildings occur annually, resulting in an estimated average of five deaths, 25 injuries and $21 million in property damage. The leading cause of these fires? Cooking.
Here are five cooking safety tips from Barrow County Emergency Services to help you avoid a holiday disaster.
- Make sure you have smoke alarms on every level of your home, outside each sleeping area and in every bedroom. Test smoke alarms monthly and replace them if they are 10 years old or older.
- Never leave cooking food unattended, and keep a lid nearby to smother small fires in pans, such as grease fires. Be particularly careful with oil-based turkey fryers, which present numerous burn and fire hazards.
- Don't wear loose sleeves while working over hot stove burners, as they can melt, ignite or catch on the handles of pots and pans, spilling hot oil and other liquids.
- Have a "kid-free zone" of at least three feet around the stove and areas where hot foods and drinks are prepared or carried.
- Plug cooking appliances directly into an electrical outlet. Never use an extension cord for a cooking appliance. It can overload the circuit and cause a fire.
"From all of us at Barrow County Emergency Services we wish all of our Barrow County friends and neighbors a very Happy and Safe Thanksgiving," Dakin said.

Stockton officer remains in serious condition after morning accident
STOCKTON - A Stockton police officer remained in serious condition at San Joaquin General Hospital late Sunday night after an ambulance collided with her patrol car early that morning.
The officer, Kimberly Sailius, was the driver of a patrol car struck by an American Medical Response ambulance about 3:30 a.m. in the intersection of El Dorado Street and Weber Avenue, police reported.
Police said the patrol car was headed north on El Dorado Street and approaching Weber Avenue and the ambulance was eastbound on Weber Avenue when it struck the patrol car on the driver's side.
Who has the right of way?
There is no regulation establishing a right-of-way in this kind of situation, Sgt. Chuck Flesher said. But there are rules governing the behavior of emergency vehicles.
Whether any of these was broken has yet to be determined, Flesher said.
Both vehicles were responding to emergency calls with lights and sirens when they collided. The accident is under investigation by the Stockton Police Department. It was unclear Sunday which of the two vehicles was passing through a red light, said Sgt. Chuck Flesher.
Officer Emiliano Rincon, the passenger in the patrol car with Sailius, suffered minor injuries and was treated and released from San Joaquin General Hospital. Both ambulance occupants also suffered minor injuries and were treated and released from Lodi Memorial Hospital.
Sailius has been on the force for approximately 16 months. She and Rincon were responding to a report of a person shot when the two vehicles collided in the intersection. The ambulance was headed to an emergency medical call.
Teri Griffin, communications supervisor for AMR's LifeCom dispatch center in Salida, said she did not have enough information to comment on the accident.

Injured Stockton officer airlifted to Stanford center
STOCKTON - A police officer injured in a collision with an ambulance early Sunday remains hospitalized in serious condition as investigators determine which vehicle ran a red light while responding to separate emergencies.
Officer Kimberly Sailius, 36, was airlifted to the Stanford University Medical Center in Palo Alto on Monday with multiple broken bones and severe head and facial trauma, said Officer Pete Smith, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department.
Sailius drove the cruiser that was broadsided by an American Medical Response ambulance at around 3:30 a.m. Sunday after both vehicles, lights on and sirens blaring, entered an intersection nearly simultaneously.
Sailius, who joined the department last year, is expected to recover from her injuries, Smith said, but it won't be an easy process.
"She's got a long road - a lot of surgeries, a lot of recovery," he said. "But she's going to recover. She's tough."
Few details surrounding the accident have been made available, including how fast the vehicles were traveling. Stockton police and AMR are conducting investigations to determine which of the two vehicles ran a red light at the intersection, according to Smith and Jason Sorrick, a spokesman for the ambulance firm.
During a Code 3 response, in which lights and sirens are used, emergency vehicles can exceed the posted speed limit and drive through a red light when there is no oncoming traffic, according to state law. But vehicles at a red light must first slow down and make sure the coast is clear, Smith said.
"You can't blow a red light just because you have sirens and lights on," he said.
Here's how police described the accident: Sailius and Officer Emiliano Rincon were northbound on El Dorado Street at around 3:30 a.m., responding to reports of a shooting.
The American Medical Response ambulance was eastbound on Weber Avenue responding to a separate call for a 5-month-old infant that had lost consciousness.
The ambulance struck the cruiser on the driver's side. Rincon, 26, was treated for a concussion at San Joaquin General Hospital and is expected to return to duty next week. The paramedic and emergency medical technician in the ambulance were treated and released from Lodi Memorial Hospital with minor injuries. Their names have not been released.
The ambulance carried no patients at the time of the accident, Sorrick said.
The shooting call was handled by the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office because it was in an unincorporated area, Smith said. Another ambulance was dispatched for the other call, and the infant was taken to St. Joseph's Medical Center for nonemergency treatment, said Dan Burch, the county's Emergency Medical Services director.
Sailius is not married but has family in the Stockton area, Smith said. Her family could not be reached for comment Monday.
Collisions between emergency vehicles are rare, observers said. Since taking over the county's 911 ambulance service in May 2006, three ambulances have been involved in accidents, although this is the first involving another emergency vehicle, Burch said.
It's not clear how many accidents Stockton's police cruisers have had in recent years.

I've never seen or heard of this before. Certainly a rare occurrence. I hope everyone pulls through.

I have seen a case where two fire engines on the way to the same job collided coming from different stations.
As was said in the news reports looks like a bit of red mist from at least one of the drivers.

Casino Workers Have Difficult Time Collecting BP Oil Spill Claims
According to a report in USA Today, many casino workers from Gulf Coast casinos have seen their claims for lost wages due to the BP oil spill rejected by the Gulf Coast Claims Facility. The Claims Facility was set up to distribute the $20 billion compensatory fund set up to aid victims of the oil spill.
According to Beverly Martin of the Mississippi Casino Operators Association, she has already received over 500 emails from casino workers who claimed they were denied compensation from the fund. In total, there are around 11,000 workers at the many casinos along the Mississippi coast.
After the oil spill, many tourists stayed away from the Gulf Coast during the busy summer months. Thanks to the influx of workers and some aggressive promotional offers, casino revenues stayed roughly equal to what was expected before the spill. However, workers that rely on tips – such as game dealers – reported significantly reduced incomes, as many of the gamblers were inexperienced.
"When players win, they tip more," said Brad McDonald, a blackjack and craps dealer at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Biloxi. "We saw a lot of non-winning and a lot of non-tipping."
The problem was compounded by the fact that many of the players who decided to skip the Gulf Coast were regulars who were friendly with dealers. These players were normally the most likely to leave large tips at the end of winning sessions, a treat that cut into the dealers' bottom line. In total, McDonald said he lost about 10% of his normal summer tips this year.
According to representatives for the Claims Facility, there should be no systematic rejection of claims from casino workers. Anyone with good documentation of their lost income should be able to receive payments from the compensation fund. However, many casino workers have complained that even with sufficient records, their claims were rejected.

MOORE — Molly Spearman, Executive Director of the South Carolina Association of School Administrators was in Oklahoma recently to deliver a donation to two Moore Public Schools elementary school principals impacted by the May 20 tornado.
Spearman met with Shelley Jaques-McMillin, Briarwood Elementary School Principal and Amy Simpson, Plaza Towers Elementary School Principal at the CCOSA Office in Oklahoma City, and presented them with a check for $11,000 raised by administrators across the state of South Carolina. The funds were raised from an email sent by Spearman to SCASA members letting them know about CCOSA's School Tornado Relief Fund. Donations from South Carolina administrators quickly poured in once South Carolina administrators were made aware of the CCOSA Fund.
"The Moore school leaders were wonderful examples of great leadership and compassion during the recent tragedy," Spearman stated. "They made all of us proud to be a part of the education family. All contributions are a gift of love from their counterparts in South Carolina," she added.
While Molly and her husband Bill were in Oklahoma they took time to tour the damage in Moore and visited the Plaza Towers Elementary School site to see the damage caused by the storm. Principals Jaques-McMillin and Simpson invited Mrs. Spearman and her husband to come back to Oklahoma next summer to see the new elementary schools when they are completed.
"We are very thankful for the generosity of SCASA and for all those who donated to the Oklahoma Relief Effort," said Principals Shelley Jaques-McMillin and Molly Simpson. "It was so nice to meet Molly and her husband Bill. We appreciate them driving the check to us and putting a face with the donation and being able to hug them," they added.
The School Tornado Relief Fund was established by CCOSA just after the May tornadoes in an effort to provide assistance directly to the school districts affected by the spring tornado outbreaks. To date over $27,000 has been received from administrators and businesses across the state of Oklahoma, as well as the Alabama, Kansas and Minnesota Administrators Associations.
The National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP) donated $5,000 to the relief fund. Briarglen Elementary of the Union Public School District collected over $900 for the fund. Other substantial donations came from businesses like Professional Marine Services of Catoosa and PlattForm Advertising of Kansas City.
