National Endowment for the Arts Announces More Than $3.7 Million in Grants for the Big Read
268 grantees include arts groups, libraries, science organizations, colleges, and municipalities June 23, 2009 Washington, DC - The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) just may have to change the name of its literature program The Big Read to The Biggest Read. Today the NEA announced that 268 nonprofits, including arts, culture, and science organizations; libraries; and municipalities will receive grants totaling $3,742,765 to host Big Read celebrations between September 2009 and June 2010. The Big Read brings communities together to read, discuss, and celebrate one of 30 selections from U.S. and world literature. The 2009-2010 Big Read grantees represent 44 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Since the 2006 pilot program with ten participating organizations, the NEA has given more than 800 grants to support local Big Read projects. Please see the complete listing of grants. "The Big Read highlights not only literature, but also what can be accomplished in partnership," said NEA Acting Chairman Patrice Walker Powell. "I'm grateful to IMLS, Arts Midwest, and the many, many nonprofits, local governments, and media outlets around the country that have partnered with the NEA to present hundreds of Big Read projects nationwide. We welcome our new community partners to The Big Read family and look forward to continuing this transformative dialogue between neighbors and across borders." "The Institute is pleased to support The Big Read, which brings communities together to enjoy literature in their public libraries," said Anne-Imelda M. Radice, Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the NEA's lead federal partner for The Big Read. "Libraries are community anchors that serve as centers of engagement, literacy, and lifelong learning. There is nothing better than to read a great book and to share your delight and insights with others." The selected organizations will receive Big Read grants ranging from $2,500 to $20,000 to promote and carry out community-based programs. Participating communities also receive high-quality, free-of-charge educational materials to supplement each title. Reader's Guides include features such as author biographies, historical context for the book, and discussion questions. Teacher's Guides are developed with National Council of Teachers of English and State Language Arts standards in mind and include lesson plans, essay topics, and classroom handouts. The Big Read Audio Guides feature readings from the novel along with commentary from renowned artists, educators, and public figures such as Sam Waterston and Aimee Mann, and Big Read authors such as Cynthia Ozick and Tobias Wolff. Each community's Big Read includes a kick-off event to launch the program; activities devoted specifically to its Big Read book or poet (e.g., panel discussions, lectures, public readings); events using the selection as a point of departure (e.g., film screenings, theatrical readings, exhibits); and book discussions in diverse locations aimed at a wide range of audiences. The Big Read Debuts New Films This fall, the NEA also premieres four films about The Big Read authors Rudolfo Anaya, Ernest J. Gaines, Cynthia Ozick, and Tobias Wolff. Produced by Red Car Productions, the educational films offer intimate portraits of each author, including their writing philosophies, work spaces, and favorite books. Each film will be available at on The Big Read website in 20-minute and five-minute versions. The Big Read film series debuted last fall, featuring conversations with Ray Bradbury and Amy Tan.

NH bill would protect 911 callers from liability
Monday, January 14, 2013
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) � New Hampshire's House is considering legislation that would grant immunity � both civil and criminal � to people calling 911 to report a suspected drug or alcohol-related emergency. The bill also would provide immunity to the person who is the subject of the call. The House Judiciary Committee holds a hearing on the bill Tuesday. |

Western Force have bolstered their midfield stocks by signing former NRL player Chris Tuatara-Morrison on a two-year deal.
The 25-year-old inside back has been plying his trade in Sydney's Shute Shield competition since returning from rugby league for the 2012 season.
New Zealand-born Tuatara-Morrison represented the NSW Schoolboys in 2004 before being recruited to rugby league, where he was contracted to the Sydney Roosters, Melbourne Storm, Wests Tigers, and Canterbury Bulldogs for whom he played two NRL matches.
Tuatara-Morrison says he's been rejuvenated by his return to rugby and is excited about taking the next step with the Force.
"I was probably a bit stale in league and I knew I needed a change," he told the Western Force's official website.
"My manager and (former Force back row) Scotty Fava gave me a call at the beginning of the season and said I had a few assets that would suit rugby.
"They told me to come along and have a crack and now I've ended up at the Force - so it's been a good move for me!
"I was one of those kids that played rugby on Saturday and league on Sunday, so rugby's never been too distant, and I feel like I've slotted back in fairly well.
"I just can't wait to get back into a professional program, especially with the Force."
Tuatara-Morrison said his exchanges with new Force coach Michael Foley has him excited about his growth as a player and what the club can achieve.
"I'm really keen to be a part of rebuilding the club and there seems to be a lot happening behind the scenes to make that happen," he said.
"From the outside there doesn't seem to be too many expectations on the Western Force for next year, so hopefully Mike Foley, the players that are already there and the new recruits can all chip in and lead the club in a really positive direction.
"I've had a few conversations with Mike and he's been really good for my development.
"He's had a chat to me all the way through the (Shute Shield) finals series with Norths and, to be honest, I can't wait to work with him.
"I know I've got a lot to work on my game being my first year back at rugby, so I'm pretty raw but hopefully he sees me as a blank canvas and can teach me a lot more along the way.
"My aim at the moment is just to get one game, whether that be starting or on the bench.
"To get my debut would be a dream come true and I'll be doing everything I can to make that occur next year."
Foley believes Tuatara-Morrison is an exciting prospect for the Force as part of their revamped back-line in 2013.
"While Chris is relatively experienced in football terms, he's definitely one of our code's up-and-coming players," he said.
"He's a very powerful footballer that can not only straighten an attack and provide clean front-foot ball for his side, but is developing a great ability to offload and ball play in contact.
"Part of relaunching the side is about identifying these young players, giving them an opportunity and developing them into long-term fixtures for the club.
"Successful clubs need continuity and Chris has the potential to be a regular part of this back-line over a number of years.
"Chris is very hungry for his opportunity and - with the players we now have on contract around him - will be a valuable contributor in what should be a very potent back-line in 2013."

I finally found a potential source of grass fed, grass-finished beef. The catch? It seems this farm will only have grass-finished beef available by the half or whole cow in the autumn.
I've only ever had grass-finished beef as ground beef via Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, and the tastes of the various packs I've purchased have varied wildly along a spectrum from gamey to exactly like grain-fed ground beef.
I'll admit that I'm a little trepidatious about committing to jam packing my freezer with a meat that could end up tasting gamey - I can handle lean or dry, for sure, but gamey is a taste that is hard for me to get past. (I will say that I'm willing to continue to work on that aversion...)
Has anybody here ever sunk a huge sum of money into buying pastured meat in bulk only to regret it because you ultimately didn't particularly enjoy the taste/texture/something else? What did you do after that experience - look elsewhere or revert to your previous buying pattern (grocery store, etc.)?

The petting zoo, penguin exhibit, and the railroad ride: these are the main attractions for most zoos, lovely animal parks with a family friendly atmosphere (unless the crazy honey badger is coming at you). But even the greatest zoo cannot supply what Break's animal videos can. Imagine the cages were gone and the animals ran free causing havoc throughout the park. Monkey's screaming through food courts. Llamas running rampant across the savanna. This is the Break zoo. From vicious animal attacks to hilarious falls and disgusting animal habits, these clips showcase rare moments from across the animal kingdom.

We are showing you the Japanese version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
Bicycling Magazine
The new issue of Bicycling Magazine showed up the other day. Not only is our pal Ira Ryan's bike on the cover (check out his new website) but the issue is chock full of Rapha as well. The top of the magazine also includes a proclamation that claims the magazine also has a "Custom Bike Buyer's Guide" to which Ira's bike is the feature story.
Move to the center of the magazine you will find the inclusion of our advertisement. The pages chronicle the Rapha ride from Norway (Rapha Rides Norddal) which, coincidentally Ira Ryan was a big part of.The second is a studio style shoot that Bicycling themselves put together.
It is pretty amazing to see the photographic works of Ben Ingham in print. He has been the genius behind the majority of the Rapha printed works since the inception of the brand five years ago. These photos from Norway are no exception. I have been staring at the them for the past few weeks on these here web pages, but seeing them in print is always a bit more satisfying.
In the second photo spread I instantly noticed two t-shirts that being worn by the models. The first was one that Cassette Design produces with the derailleur on the left shoulder and the second is the NYC Velo t-shirt featuring their espresso machine. Love those guys.
I have to ask, what is up with the guy in the Espresso shirt holding the small bike? Maybe he's just holding it until his short friend gets there?
One of the models is wearing the Rapha Trousers while another has on the Bomber Jacket (later in the piece.) Both of these pieces look great alongside the selection of casual wear that is being presented here. It is great to see a publication like Bicycling branch out and try their hand at fashion.
Then as you move seamlessly from one article to the next you will notice our good pal Ira Ryan's (is this guy not everywhere at the moment?) road bike as reviewed by Bill Strickland. To say that the review itself is "glowing" might be a bit of an understatement. The first line of the piece reads "Ira is gone, out riding, which is one of the great things about Ira." And since I have ridden with him for more than a few hundred miles, I concur, it is one of the great things about him. Read this article.
Then check out the Freeman Transport packable track bike on the page afterwards. All kinds of good stuff going on in this issue.
The one thing that I forgot to mention is that the Norddal ad contains a Free Shipping code on the last page. Just a little something to make your holiday shopping a bit sweeter. So, go pick up the new issue of Bicycling…
Follow us on Twitter. Sometime this coming Monday, November 1st we will be tweeting that code along with photos of our new catalog and a sneak peek at something we recently had printed. It is not a catalog, neither is it a book, but it is something pretty special.

Thanks so much.......4 more days and you're there too! yahooooo. System has been acting up a bit for me so I couldn't vote on the weekend and took forever to get prices to be accepted! Hang in there.....you've allmost caught up to me.......LOL
Wishing you all the best this Christmas and Health and Happiness in 2012!!!
Thanks for the encouragement gasman50. I know you and RedZed will have a great Memorial Day Weekend. Drive Safe !!
Thanks for the kind words gasman50. My father is doing the best he can with the death of his spouse of 60 years. Even though my Mom had Alzheimer's for 12 to 14 years it is still tough on all of us when she passed away. Being an adult child in your 50's watching your parents get sick and die definitely takes its' toll on you. I know you will understand this point.
Hi Gasman50. My Mom passed away peacefully in her sleep today from Alzheimer's disease. My Dad is doing okay under the circumstances (Our Mom's passing and his Lung Cancer Chemotherapy.) As you know it is very difficult to see the ones you love age and then pass away. But nobody can stop father time as we grow older. It seems to be tougher on your physical and emotional state as a grown adult rather than when you are growing up. Hope you have a great weekend.

4. | zerg rush | ||
A common strategy where a player mass builds a many weak units as he can, then rushes the enemy base. Usually works best early in the game. Taken from Starcraft, where often zerglings (really cheap unit that can be built in large droves quickly) would be sent at the start of the game to kill everyone in the first couple moments. Zerg Player: Ah hahaha! I'm zerg rushing!
Protoss Player: Oh no, my precious zealots are too expensive for me to buy more than one. I'm screwed. Terran Player: *Flys to higher ground* What a bunch of fags. |
1. | zerg rush | ||
A term used for a swarming attack, and/or winning a battle by throwing bodies and outnumbering an opponent.
This term was derived off of a video game called Starcraft which had a tactic where you are able to rush opponents by mass producing zergs and rushing them "Oh shit those bastards are zerg rushing us."
"All you pussies can do is Zerg Rush." |
2. | Zerg Rush | ||
A tactic commonly used on the game Starcraft in which the race "The Zerg" are used in a quick strike. Player 1:OMG ZERG RUSH
Player 2:KEKEKEKEKE LOL Player 1:STFU NOOB |
3. | zerg rush | ||
The battle tactic when an immense group of poorly equiped or low -level players/minions/characters swarms a much smaller group of well-defended/high-level characters/players and defeats with sheer numbers.
Originated from the game StarCraft, in which if timed correctly you could send a dozen zerglings (lowest-level soldier avalible) into the enemy's base before they could make defenses. Spread to include any battle tactic that involved massive amounts of zerglings to overwhelm the enemy's defense. "The 2 dozen mid-20 level alliance just zerg-rushed the 60s attacking Darkshire."
"Why bother wasting resources on Ultralisks when 4 dozen zerglings can rip a Protoss base up like tissue paper in a zerg rush?" |
5. | Zerg Rush | ||
A tactic in video games (primarily the RTS genre) of sending weak, cheap units at an enemy base en-masse in order to achieve victory. This method is used best near the beginning of the match. Originally started on the RTS game Starcraft due to the inexpensive Zergling unit being used in the manner described above. Player: ZOMG Zerg Rush!!!
6. | zerg rush | ||
A quick attack that comes from the game Starcraft. The race Zerg makes units quickly, so a "Zerg Rush" is a quick, weak attack, or an underhand technique. Also an interjection.
Its not only used in SC, but other games and just a random computer thing to yell. Player A: Well crap, a zerg rush!
Player B: =D Person A: ZERG RUSH LOL! |
7. | zerg rush | ||
Pre-emptive strike. Comes from the computer game 'Starcraft', in which a race called the Zerg often attack a base early on in a game, when controlled by the game AI.

If a bar had the opportunity to replace its bartender with a bartending machine, do you think it should? Even if the machine could hold a decent conversation because it was operated by a real person, do you think the bar would be as successful as one that used the real deal? Hold that thought, as we'll be returning to it soon.
Anonymous online communities have a bad reputation; but essentially theyre just powerful tools for collaboration and the spread of information. They can be used for good or ill.
For a quick example of how anonymous communities help brands, look no further than the online series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Thanks to one of the most infamous anonymous communities online, this cartoon went from an effort by Hasbro to create brands as successful as Transformers to an Internet subculture.
One of the reasons the series rose in fame was because anyone who liked the series could be open about it, regardless of gender or age, in the anonymous community of 4chan. Since users could not be identified, there were no consequences, such as the social embarrassment of men admitting they liked a cartoon show for girls (it's not as creepy as it sounds, as My Little Pony was also designed with parents in mind). [Ed. note: It is as creepy as it sounds.] The community participants were far more forthcoming with information and honesty using the identity of anonymous poster than they would ever be on a network like Facebook.
The lesson for brands to learn here is that if they really want to know what people are thinking, give them the option of talking from behind a mask. This allows brands to achieve the following:
Of course, the two major disadvantages of this approach are noise pollution from low-value comments and the amount of moderation required -- as news outlets will attest.
Ironically, to really reap the benefits of anonymous communities, a brand will have to give up its shield of anonymity and engage completely, allowing its employees to speak out on its behalf. A brand listening on a network is a faceless entity, inhuman and untrustworthy. A Scott Kinoshita who works for a brand on a network, however, is Scott Kinoshita first and a representative of the brand second.
Scott is human, he has a face, he is the bartender for The Brand (I told you we'd come back to it). Not only is a very human "bartender" more personable and transparent, but individuals who never wore a mask to begin with lend a distinctively authentic voice to their organization. The bartender becomes a familiar, trusted face the community opens up to.
While the setup of anonymous networks with "naked" organizations will have its fair share of challenges, it also offers a combination of consumer privacy with transparent engagement for brands, potentially generating superior data, engagement, and loyalty.
An anonymous community won't be appropriate for every organization, but it gives back consumers what they've lost -- privacy -- while offering brands the benefits of social networking.

Oh I see, telling the truth even though it's negative. It's a hard road to run when you're known.
I think I must have read it wrong or something.
I am concerned about a false sort of bravado by being anonymous.
Kind of reminds me of a phone prank. Hard to do with caller id.
"doesn't the most meaningful data come from knowing who the users are who are engaging with your brand on a social network?"
People can hide their data, can use personas, or simply choose not to engage as a matter of distrust. The anonymous element is an option, not a requirement. Those who really want to engage, who want their identities known are welcome to do so.
But providing an anonymous option allows those who don't trust the brand yet, or don't want to share all their data to still give their feedback and be heard.
By responding to intelligent anonymous feedback in a respectful way the brand builds trust. I remember you're not so found of companies being so grabby with your data, Nicole. Wouldn't it be nice for once if the control was given back to you? To let you say what the company may or may not know about you?
What if during account registration, for any field you had the option of "None of your business" or "I don't trust you enough yet to tell you that". So if you filled in nothing, you could be anonymous (other than your IP obviously). If you just filled in your name, you could always go back and say "OK, I trust you enough now to tell you X".
After all, do you give everyone you know all your personal details -- or do you wait to get to know them first and build up some trust?
I've noticed that analytics can fill in a lot of the gaps, and besides -- the less personally identifiable information the company has, the less lawsuits it has to deal with later if anyone breaks into it.
Data is important. Trust is even more important.
I think the more a company needs feedback from the target market, the more it should embrace anonymous networks. Not having require yet another password, not needing another log-in, not having to share one's social media account with yet another data-grabby organization removes a lot of obstacles that might discourage that oh-so-valuable feedback and opportunity to engage.
For example, McDonald's would be less suitable for an anonymous network; they know they have a lot of detractors, a massive market, and I don't think the brand is ready to engage them on that kind of level. It would require a lot of monitoring and more transparency than I think management is ready for. (This is more from my experience with McD's on Twitter)
Dominoes on the other hand, despite also having many detractors, has already had to deal with some seriously difficult social media disasters and have adapted to the situation pretty well. They basically already use an anonymous network as they had to adapt to YouTube pretty quickly after that one horrible incident back in 2009. One manager went to YouTube to publicly apologize for a single incident of bad customer service to a single patron. Looking at their latest rather bold moves, things seem to be turning out pretty well with sales increasing by double-digits.
I'm going to say it's the attitude and culture of a company that determines its readiness for an anonymous network.
It is an interesting idea, but I agree that most brands are now deeply invested in the idea of getting to know their consumers, and engaging with them as personally as possible.
Scott, I had one other question about your post. You write: "While the setup of anonymous networks with 'naked' organizations will have its fair share of challenges, it also offers a combination of consumer privacy with transparent engagement for brands, potentially generating superior data, engagement, and loyalty."
Interesting points. But doesn't the most meaningful data come from knowing who the users are who are engaging with your brand on a social network? Seems like the brand could lose out here.
Scott, interesting blog. I'm wondering what types of organizations/brands you think would best benefit from this idea? You note that it's not for everyone, and I agree. And I'm still not sold on this in general, but I'm curious to know which types of companies you think should and shouldn't try this.
cjon, -
Anonymity makes people hold back negative truth? in what way? Please explain. What about the disincentive to tell the truth by identity?
You just reversed what i said...which was
.....showing identity first tends to make people hold back negative truth a little more....
@Paul Whyte: I think the guidelines I can offer would depend on both the goals of the organization, the organizational culture, the kind of market they currently engage and the kind of target market they want to engage.
As far as goals go, anonymous networks with transparent brands work towards building up trust, reducing the risk associated with doing business with the brand, and getting critical feedback on products, practices and image. The anonymous network is sales support and follow-up
If management isn't willing to buy-in to trying something new, if they're stuck in doing things they way 'they've always been done', then don't even bother. I guess the short version is that if the culture isn't one of engagement already, don't try to work a network with an anonymous option.
The organization will also need to have a game-plan in place to handle spammers and hijakcers when they occur in a way that doesn't disrupt the day-to-day engagement. (4chan uses CAPTCHA)
Probably the biggest factor though will the nature of the target market itself. The broader the interests and appeal your network has, the more moderation and work it will take to maintain.
A key advantage of an anonymous-option network I neglected to mention is the fact that it doesn't require an account to leave feedback, making it easier for the target market to speak. The harder feedback is to come by, the more suitable an anonymous network becomes.
Yes, that dialogue today is more than it was in the past - it's a vital part of the 2.0 existence of brands and customer relations.
As a marketing research guy, I know that the vast majority of the customer base doesn't engage but the fringes do and when the middle ground does participate in this conversation it is a very important thing. They tend to remain quiet until really pushed to a REALLY LIKE or a REALLY DISLIKE -- and this is very valuable to companies, a measure of something bigger if there suddenly happens to be a lot more "chatter"
The personal data issue is one which hasn't changed in the lessening, and has moved more toward the "more protection is better"
"An anonymous community won't be appropriate for every organization, but it gives back consumers what they've lost -- privacy -- while offering brands the benefits of social networking."
So can you help us with any guidelines to help organization decides as to whether an anonymous community is appropiate for them or not?

The Shantyman
Trevor Jones, an oral history
by As told to Samantha Campos
write the author
March 16, 2006
Local musician Trevor Jones knows how to get the crowd going. He's famous around these parts for his warmth, charisma, sea-faring shanties and raucous call-and-response parodies. He talked to me just in time for his St. Patrick's Day shows at Mulligan's, which are always loads of fun, even if it's at your expense.
In Catalina, I worked on James Cagney's old boat. I'd say it's about 90 foot, a gaff topsail schooner called The Swift of Ipswich. It's a replica of a Baltimore Clipper—very fast. In 1984, I went from Maui to Catalina for the summer and worked for the Olympics; we were in the tall ships parade, which was nice. So I like to do shanties but in an authentic way.
A shanty is from the French "chanter," or "to sing." There's a lot of different definitions but a lot of people say that a shanty is a work song, it's an economic thing. In navies of the world, they didn't have shanties because they had enough men to do a job. But in merchant navies or private ships, doing trading ships, they'd have all the guys pull together at a certain beat or call.
I like those songs. There's several different kinds; there's halyard shanties, pump, stomp-and-go shanties. Then there's fo'c's'le songs, which are basically just, well, songs that tell a story. I learned them because it was my hobby, you know, like a lot of guys have their cars and that.
I was born in Wales 63 years ago. I grew up in Holyhead, Anglesey—it's an island. It's the main port to Dublin, actually. My father was the engineer for a big fleet of ships—British Rail. He was on convoys during the war. When I was growing up, it was a very simple life. I went to a boarding school in Wales, a Catholic school. Yeah, you know, the nuns they gave it to me.
I went to college in Manchester and my main thing was rugby—I loved rugby. And then I got my knee screwed up and went on a couple rigs in Africa—on the oil rigs, because it was really good money well, this was in the '60s, you know—and at the end of my contract, the company offered me a job and a choice of different places to go, like the South China Sea or Libya.
Then I came to America, ended up in New Orleans—I was 26. I played this set and they paid me $15 and all the beer I could drink. And then I went to California, married the mother of my children and moved to Catalina Island. I bought a house there for 40 grand, in Avalon. Bill Wrigley owned the island—he was a nice guy. I used to play for their private parties.
In the winters, I played everywhere—Montana, Colorado, Key West, New York, Chicago—all over America, really. I've met some great people. When I was in Tahoe, Duane Eddy—he was one of my heroes when I was a kid, you know, in the late '50s and '60s, he was the head guy of twangin' guitar. But he used to play with me in Lake Tahoe as long as I wouldn't tell anybody that it was him, 'cause you know, we liked to have a few beers together. I've opened for a lot of people, like the Pointer Sisters, Taj Mahal, The Beach Boys, Charlie Musselwhite
About 27 years ago, I got divorced, sold the house in Avalon, moved here with my kids. I was the house band at the Pioneer Inn for about 16 years. It was a wild bar in those days. Times have changed but in those days, there'd be holes in the floor, half the slats were missing. That was a great time on Maui 'cause all these great players would come and just sit in, Princess Caroline would be sitting in the bar, a guy from the bloody National Enquirer taking pictures
I consider myself more or less an entertainer. If I start a show, I'm almost a bit nervous, you know. I'll always try and build a bridge if I can, with somebody in the audience and try to get them going. I've been very lucky doing that. I love people, and I want them to have a great time. MTW

Crazy Ending to Queen's Club Final
David Nalbandian has been a professional tennis player for at least 12 years, has been in 23 finals, so this was nothing new to him. This was only his 2nd final on grass court, last time was in 2002, both of which were in London. You would think that someone with that much experience would know how to behave.
But you'd be wrong.
He had won the first set 7-6, and was 3-4 in the second set. He made a mistake and instead of moving on like most players would, he decided to take out his anger on the advertising board.
Other players have kicked at the boards when they're frustrated, but unlike those players, Nalbandian ended up hurting the linesman. He kicked out in frustration and the boards broke, cutting the linesman on the leg and causing him to bleed. The tournament's officials came out and decided to default Nalbandian, which means that Marin Cilic, from Croatia, won the final.
Here's the video of the incident:
He later apologized for his actions, but it might be too little, too late. I know there are a lot of people who have lost respect for him. After all, he's a grown man, he should how to behave in these situations. He let his anger take over and in the end, had to pay for his actions.

The welfare reforms planned for April 2013 are a big upheaval. For housing associations this could mean rent loss, increasing arrears and constraints on future income growth.
In order to avert these risks, landlords will need to better understand their tenants. Resource allocation will have to be more targeted and more business intelligence (e.g. customer profiling) will be needed.
As not all tenants will be affected in the same way, housing associations will need to have in place improved systems for sharing information and identifying those who need help.

In a flourishing digital era, some people may find it difficult to believe that so many people still struggle to get themselves online. Smart phones, andriod tablets and Pc's continue to drop in price and it may seem that everyone in the street owns one. Unfortunately for many people living in areas most affected by deprivation, the need of the internet and the knowledge of how to use such an extensive tool can be lacking and other needs take priority.
A pipeline of prospects is being built; interest from local authorities, housing associations, charities and health and social care organisations. Conversion is another matter considering the climate. There is competition - Rally Round, Caucus, Jointly, Know your own Health, etc. - however; Tyze's end-user focus has a more B2C look 'n' feel and the responsive, user-led developments should keep it one step ahead. more >
Government-funded systems of health and social care are facing enormous fiscal and human-resource challenges. In the UK, this changing landscape has meant that the health and social care sector faces an unprecedented period of change and reinvention. There is increasing tension between local authorities, the NHS, social care providers and housing associations, etc., as statutory service provision contracts. GP Commissioning and Clinical Commissioning Groups are just starting to scope out their own roles and responsibilities. more >
The internet is amazing. It has the potential to make a positive difference to our own lives, the lives of those around us and the world we live in too.
I suppose it's fitting for a project that's about celebration that I've found Celebration 2.0 to be something of a rollercoaster ride, to use a terribly hackneyed cliché. From Roller Derbies to the launch of a Community Health project, I've been part of some really diverse events, helping to bring them to wider audiences through live video streaming and social media amplification. And, as the project nears its last lap, it's pretty much time to reflect on some of the lessons I've learned so far.

Fresh Prince of Splash Hill is later ... tired.
I hope you weren't planning on Act 3...
I have act one already done and YouTubable, but haven't uploaded it yet. Was planning on doing all three, but I guess not. I'll do the other ones and wait till release.
Posted 12 July 2010 - 06:59 AM
Hmm, I've got some mash ups done, but they're not Sonic related. Where do I post them?
Anyway, one of the tracks from Sonic 4 would be a perfect mash up with Kelis' Milkshake!

This one is haunting me so much!
The more I listen to these, the more I love them

Sonic 4 must mix with various old songs in order to be legit sequel music confirmed.
Here's one.
I thought no at first but the chorus did it for me. The cats meowling still ruins it a bit though.

Here's a mix of Chemical Plant and Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation. I got it off iichan some years ago and it isn't on youtube but it's so fucking catchy.

There's one done with the original MCZ music too, but it doesn't work as well.

Wow, most of these are pretty good. I usually don't like remixes, either.

Well, here's something I made once... it's not fantastic or anything, and it runs juuuuust slightly out of sync in some parts... It's pretty much my first attempt as a mashup ever, but I gave it a shot anyway because I thought it NEEDED TO BE DONE SO MUCH.

This remix is pretty horrible, but I can honestly say I would without a doubt buy Sonic 4 for any given price if every Motobug in it had Uncle Phil's face.
Pretty horrible? I haz a sad
Anyway, lolmotobug.

Health Care Service Corp. agrees to pay more for Montana Blues
(AP) — Health Care Service Corp. agreed to pay an additional $23 million to acquire Blue Cross Blue Shield of Montana if state regulators signal by the end of the month they plan to approve the deal.
The Chicago-based parent of Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Illinois announced last year it had agreed to buy Montana's largest private health insurer in Montana. The original price was $17.6 million.
The new price was approved by Attorney General Tim Fox.
The agreement also calls for HCSC to open a 100-employee call center in Great Falls, Mont.
It must be agreed upon by both the attorney general's office and by Insurance Commissioner Monica Lindeen.
Lindeen lawyer Jesse Laslovich told Lee Newspapers of Montana that the agreement is premature and his office isn't prepared to approve it by March 30.
Health Care Service Corp., the country's fourth-largest health insurer, booked $1.01 billion in net income last year. In addition to Illinois, the nonprofit mutual company operates Blues plans in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico.

I mentioned to a guy a few weeks ago that we now lived about a mile down the road from him and that if he ever needed help at the last minute to holler at my son because he has painting experience. I talked to my son a few hours ago. The guy came down, said he fired two guys today for not showing up, did he want a job? Since we are a mile away the guy is even going to pick him up and drop him off every day. And he will be learning other skills too.
Please pray they are a good match for working together.
P.S. This is the son who just got married.
