Early Life
Actress Julie Deborah Kavner was born on September 7, 1950, in Los Angeles, California. For more than a decade, Kavner has voiced one of television's most popular animated characters—Marge Simpson on The Simpsons. A graduate of Beverly Hills High School, she studied drama at San Diego State University, earning a bachelor's degree in 1973.
Early Television Career
Only a year after finishing her degree, Kavner had a supporting role on the sitcom Rhoda, starring Valerie Harper as the title character. She played Rhoda's younger, more awkward and less confident sister, Brenda, and imbued the character with an appealing vulnerability as well as great humor. Audiences and critics alike were impressed with her performance; she was nominated for an Emmy Award four times for her work on the series, winning one in 1978.
'The Simpsons'
After Rhoda, Kavner again showed her comedic talents on The Tracey Ullman Show. The sketch comedy and variety program allowed Kavner to play a broad range of characters, and it also earned her three more Emmy Award nominations. It was on this show that she first began her work as the legendary blue-haired mom on The Simpsons, which first appeared as short segments on the show.
In 1990, The Simpsons became its own half-hour program and soon became a hit with audiences. Julie Kavner??s warm, loving and sometimes frustrated role as Marge has spent more than 20 years looking after her family, comprised of her oafish, but sweet husband Homer, troublemaker son Bart, bright and musical daughter Lisa and baby Maggie. She won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance in 1992 as Marge. In addition to Marge, she voices Patty and Selma Bouvier, Marge's older twin sisters.
Film Career
The Simpsons, Kavner has appeared in several films. During the 1980s and '90s, she had supporting roles in a number of films by Woody Allen, including Hannah and Her Sisters (1986), Radio Days(1987) and Deconstructing Harry (1997). She also had the lead part in Nora Ephron's This Is My Life (1992), starring as a divorced mother of two struggles to become a successful stand-up comedienne. That same year she starred in Woody Allen's Shadows and Fog. Kavner also appeared in the 2006 comedy film Click, alongside Adam Sandler. The following year she starred in The Simpsons Movie, the first feature-length film starring the historic sitcom family.

The Garlands/Sugarplums split 7" is now sold out from us. Sorry! Some of the distros may still have copies of it though, so head to our shop for some links. It's been an absolute privilege for us to have been able to release a 7" by Roger Gunnarsson and the Garlands. Roger has been one of my all-time favourite indiepop heroes. He's an absolute legend and his songs make the hearts of indiepop kids around the world beat fast. We were so honoured and thrilled that he agreed to write those songs for ABR0004.
The Sugarplums are like one of these lovely secret gems waiting to be discovered. They are absolutely wonderful and we are totally love them. Look at Matt's fab sleeve cover - it has Blueboy written all over it! We are so proud of those two bands that I can't really describe how it feels. Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
Many thanks for the continuous support [Christos]
>> 04 January 2010
ABR004! Um, yeah. Hello! So, a few months after our last post on here, we are proud to announce that the next Atomic Beat Records single is out. It's the Garlands' and the Sugarplums first ever release on vinyl so it's pretty exciting. And they adore each other too which is cute. Woohoo! We're really sorry it took soooo long. But we love it and we hope you'll love it too and that it makes your 2010 a happier place. Please visit our shop!
Also, in other news, the Pocketbooks single (ABR002) is now completely sold out (but you should go buy their album, if you haven't already got it) and there are only very few copies left of our beloved very first release, Pete Green's Everything I Do Is Gonna Be Sparkly.
>> 14 September 2008
ABR004! Our next seven-inch single is being recorded as we speak and it's going to be another split: this time it's shared by The Garlands (the amazing new band of Swedish indiepop legend Roger Gunnarsson, formerly of Nixon/Free Loan Investments, etc.) and The Sugarplums (a brilliant new band from Baltimore, MD). On a scale of 1 to 'Eeeee!' this is likely to be the best thing ever. We'll write with more details soon about the release date and so on.
>> 14 March 2008
The split 7" single with The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and The Parallelograms is sold out from us but you can still get it at various distros around the world. This way please... ABR001 and ABR002 are selling fast as well but you can still buy them from our shop.
There is an ace interview with Pete Green on indie-mp3 today. It even ends with a haiku. Don't miss it.
>> 9 March 2008
Only 5 copies of the Pains/Parallelograms split 7" left at ABR HQ! There will be some with the distros in the next couple of weeks but if you'd like a copy, please order as soon as you can because they're going waaaay fast.

Colorado Editorial Roundup
The more society can understand the personalities and conditions that preceded their rampage, the better.
To that end, the comments of Susan Klebold, mother of Dylan, paint a picture of a grieving mother who could not understand why her son would do such a thing.
She told Andrew Solomon, author of "Far From the Tree: Parents, Children, and the Search for Identity," that she prayed during the unfolding tragedy that her son would kill himself — and then regretted that prayer.
After seeing the so-called "basement tapes," in which Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold raged on video, she saw a different person than the one she had raised.
"I saw the end product of my life's work: I had created a monster," Susan Klebold told Solomon.
Those comments are not out of line with the introspection and shock she expressed in a lengthy piece published in 2009 in O, The Oprah Magazine.
Susan Klebold concludes the piece with this: "I only hope my story can help those who can still be helped. I hope that, by reading of my experience, someone will see what I missed."
And that's exactly our point.
Perhaps professionals with emotional detachment and expertise could see what the parents could not and maybe still cannot readily perceive.
Did the mix of the problems of Harris and Klebold lead to action greater than either of them would have undertaken alone?

Passenger revenue forecast to rise on international travel
United Airlines parent UAL Corp. said Monday that it expects a revenue benchmark to rise as much as 3.25 percent this quarter on higher international travel, while costs will increase less than forecast.
United's cost to fly each seat a mile, excluding fuel and special items, will be flat to up 0.5 percent compared with a year earlier, UAL said in a filing. Passenger revenue by that measure will rise 2.75 percent to 3.25 percent.
"Yields continue to be strong internationally but under pressure domestically, as industry capacity grows and domestic industry revenue slows," UAL said.
The new expense outlook is less than the 1 percent boost projected in May. Chicago-based UAL said last month it would pare 2007 U.S. capacity growth by 2 percent while adding 0.5 percent more flying on international routes, where demand and fares are higher and there's less low-fare competition.

The Plot (Magill's Guide to Science Fiction and Fantasy Literature)
H. G. Wells's fascination with the idea of time travel into the future was first expressed in his story "The Chronic Argonauts" (1888). He wrote at least four other versions before the first book publication of The Time Machine: An Invention in 1895.
The Time Machine is a frame narrative. The outer narrator, Hillyer, briefly sets the scene for the much longer inner narrative, the Time Traveler's story about his experiences in the future. Hillyer concludes the narrative with a description of the subsequent disappearance of the Time Traveler and offers a brief speculative epilogue.
Hillyer is one of a group of professional men who regularly gather for dinner and conversation at the Time Traveler's house. One evening, the host explains to his skeptical visitors that he has discovered the principles of time travel. He demonstrates a miniature time machine and shows his visitors an almost-completed full-sized version in his laboratory.
At Hillyer's next visit, the Time Traveler enters, disheveled and limping but eager to tell his visitors about his travels in the far future. He begins by graphically describing the subjective effects of compressing years into moments of time. He then tells them how he arrived in c.e. 802,701 and encountered a race of creatures, evolved from humans, called Eloi. They are small, frail, gentle, childlike vegetarians. He theorizes that humanity has...

Places Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Places)
Time Traveller's home
Time Traveller's home. Although it is reasonable to infer that Wells's unnamed traveler lives in London—and probably southwest London—nothing in the novel locates his home precisely. His home is a large upper-middle-class house typical of homes of its class in the late nineteenth century. Wells takes pains to make the home warm and welcoming, comfortable and convivial. It appears to be popular with visitors, as the two times the house is mentioned in the novel it is the setting of well-attended dinner parties that bring together intelligent and well-connected men. The guests are identified only by their professions, for example, such as the Medical Man and the Editor. There are also servants and other indications that the Time Traveller is wealthy. Thus, the home in which the Time Traveller tells his story is a place of both solid reality and aspiration, the height of ambition for Wells's audience. This is the measure of achievement, the sign that these intelligent and comfortable Victorians really are the peak of evolution.
Eloi world
Eloi world. The Time Traveller's first stop in the remote future. Although it occupies the same space as the Time Traveller's home, the world of the Eloi is separated from it by some 800,000 years. That fact alone expresses Wells's primary Darwinian purpose: to demonstrate that evolution will continue beyond the world he and his readers know. This...

- Lifecycle impacts of the financial and economic crisis on household optimal consumption, portfolio choice, and labor supply (2011)
- The direct financial impact of the financial crisis has been to deal a heavy blow to investment-based pensions; many workers lost a substantial portion of their retirement saving. The financial sector implosion produced an economic crisis for the rest of the economy via high unemployment and reduced labor earnings, which reduced household contributions to Social Security and some private pensions. Our research asks which types of individuals were most affected by these dual financial and economic shocks, and it also explores how people may react by changing their consumption, saving and investment, work and retirement, and annuitization decisions. We do so with a realistically calibrated lifecycle framework allowing for time-varying investment opportunities and countercyclical risky labor income dynamics. We show that households near retirement will reduce both short- and long-term consumption, boost work effort, and defer retirement. Younger cohorts will initially reduce their work hours, consumption, saving, and equity exposure; later in life, they will work more, retire later, consume less, invest more in stocks, save more, and reduce their demand for private annuities.

- Measuring confidence and uncertainty during the financial crisis : evidence from the CFS survey (2011)
- The CFS survey covers individual situations of banks and other companies of the financial sector during the financial crisis. This provides a rare possibility to analyze appraisals, expectations and forecast errors of the core sector of the recent turmoil. Following standard ways of aggregating individual survey data, we first present and introduce the CFS survey by comparing CFS indicators of confidence and predicted confidence to ifo and ZEW indicators. The major contribution is the analysis of several indicators of uncertainty. In addition to well established concepts, we introduce innovative measures based on the skewness of forecast errors and on the share of 'no response' replies. Results show that uncertainty indicators fit quite well with pattern of real and financial time series of the time period 2007 to 2010.

- Disclosure, transparency, and market discipline (2011)
- The aim of this paper is to examine what has been the role of information provision to the market throughout the crisis. We consider two main sources of information to the market, financial statements and information provided by credit rating agencies. We examine how these sources of information work and the effectiveness of their disclosure process during the crisis. Contrary to the commonly held view, fair value accounting did not have a major impact on the crisis development and severity. However, the structure and lack of accountability of credit rating agencies had a profound impact on their incentives, which may have jeopardized the accuracy of the whole rating process. We claim that the crisis experience has changed the way we think about information as well as market discipline and discuss policy implications and proposals for regulation.

- Did fair-value accounting contribute to the financial crisis? (2009)
- The recent financial crisis has led to a major debate about fair-value accounting. Many critics have argued that fair-value accounting, often also called mark-to-market accounting, has significantly contributed to the financial crisis or, at least, exacerbated its severity. In this paper, we assess these arguments and examine the role of fair-value accounting in the financial crisis using descriptive data and empirical evidence. Based on our analysis, it is unlikely that fair-value accounting added to the severity of the current financial crisis in a major way. While there may have been downward spirals or asset-fire sales in certain markets, we find little evidence that these effects are the result of fair-value accounting. We also find little support for claims that fair-value accounting leads to excessive write-downs of banks' assets. If anything, empirical evidence to date points in the opposite direction, that is, towards overvaluation of bank assets.

- Instabile Finanzmärkte (2009)
- Die Vorstellung selbst-stabilisierender, zum Gleichgewicht tendierender Finanzmärkte, lange Zeit als Selbstverständlichkeit angesehen, ist durch die aktuelle Banken- und Kreditkrise in Frage gestellt. Trotz ausgefeilten Risikomanagements der Banken und einer an Basel II orientierten Aufsicht ist es in den Jahren 2007-2009 zu einem Zusammenbruch des Interbankenmarktes und weiter Teile der Anleihemärkte gekommen. Die hierdurch erzwungenen massiven Staatsinterventionen zur Bankenrettung sind ohne Beispiel in der modernen Wirtschaftsgeschichte. In diesem Essay suchen wir nach Ansatzpunkten einer Erklärung für die Instabilität der Finanzmärkte. Als zentrale Krisenursache sehen wir Schwächen der Informationsarchitektur, deren Aufgabe darin besteht, glaubwürdige Information für Investoren bereitzustellen. Drei Determinanten der Instabilität werden herausgestellt, erstens die Nutzung von Schuldtiteln verbunden mit hohen Verschuldungsgraden, zweitens die Handelbarkeit von Titeln verbunden mit erhöhter Risikoübernahme, sowie drittens die zunehmende Komplexität von Finanzprodukten und Finanznetzwerken verbunden mit einer Homogenisierung der Aktiva- und Risikostrukturen von Finanzinstituten. Alle drei Faktoren verstärken die Anfälligkeit des Finanzsystems und zugleich die Bedeutung der Informationsarchitektur. Hieraus lassen sich Anforderungen an eine sinnvolle Reform der Regulierung ableiten. Neben den Anreizproblemen, die Gegenstand einer weiteren Arbeit sind (Franke/Krahnen 2009), diskutieren wir hier vier Kernthemen: glaubwürdige Informationen, makroprudentielle Aufsicht, robuste Eigenkapitalstandards und eine notwendige Risikobegrenzung auf Derivatemärkten.

- Measuring financial asset return and volatility spillovers : with application to global equity markets (2007)
- We provide a simple and intuitive measure of interdependence of asset returns and/or volatilities. In particular, we formulate and examine precise and separate measures of return spillovers and volatility spillovers. Our framework facilitates study of both non-crisis and crisis episodes, including trends and bursts in spillovers, and both turn out to be empirically important. In particular, in an analysis of sixteen global equity markets from the early 1990s to the present, we find striking evidence of divergent behavior in the dynamics of return spillovers vs. volatility spillovers: Return spillovers display a gently increasing trend but no bursts, whereas volatility spillovers display no trend but clear bursts. JEL Classification: F30, G15, F36
- The boom-bust cycle in Finland and Sweden 1984-1995 in an international perspective (2006)
- This paper compares the boom-bust cycle in Finland and Sweden 1984-1995 with the average boom-bust pattern in industrialized countries as calculated from an international sample for the period 1970-2002. Two clear conclusions emerge. First, the Finnish-Swedish experience is much more volatile than the average boom-bust pattern. This holds for virtually every time series examined. Second, the bust and the recovery in the two Nordic countries differ markedly more from the international pattern than the boom phase does. The bust is considerably deeper and the recovery comes earlier and is more rapid. We explain the highly volatile character of the Finnish and Swedish boom-bust episode by the design of economic policies in the 1980s and 1990s. The boom-bust cycle in Finland and Sweden 1984-1995 was driven by financial liberalization and a hard currency policy, causing large pro-cyclical swings in the real rate of interest transmitted via the financial sector into the real sector and then into the public finances.

Inside Collection (Course): Economic and Management Sciences Grade 6
Thousands of people buy and sell products and services, but all businesses are not run in the same manner. Some sell from a mobile unit (ice-cream seller), others do their business from a stall along the street, or on the pavement, while other entrepreneurs run their businesses from their homes.
It is very important to find the right location for the business. Many entrepreneurs find that their concepts seem to fail right from the start, simply because they are badly situated. An enterprise should be situated as closely as possible to the clients, but the rent of the premises should not be too high.
Answer the following questions after you have decided where to locate your business:
This will depend on the nature of the product. Is it perishable or not? Is it large/small? A store might be required. It is also worth looking at the idea of delivering the product directly to the customer, rather than storing it.
Service, however, cannot be stored. When service is rendered to a client, time is also delivered and should be presented as attractively as possible. Once the time has passed, it cannot be bought back. To generate income from time, you have to strive to be busy doing so every moment of the day. This means that you have to concentrate on special offers during the quiet season of the year.
In the rain season the price of washing cars could, for instance, be lower because cars tend to become dirty sooner and owners might consider washing them more frequently.
Try to determine the time of year of the quiet season by experience and then make adjustments to the price of the product to compensate for this.
What will it cost to transport the product from the production point or purchase point to the client? Will vehicles or extra staff members be required? Remember that the product has to reach the client in good condition. Speedy delivery is therefore important. You have to be able to do it better and faster than your competitors.
If the idea is to sell "vetkoek" (dampers) with minced meat fillings to scholars, it will not be prepared at the school. Break times will have to be determined and the production schedule will have to be planned in such a way that the "vetkoek" arrives at the different schools while it is fresh and warm.
In South Africa, where service is often poor, the speed and reliability of the service is an important factor and could ensure the success of your business.
Will any service be offered to the client after the sale of the service or product and where would this service be available? Would there be visits to the client's home or would the service be provided from the business premises? If any promises are made or guarantees are offered to the client, they should be honoured.
Remember that the client does not buy a product/service only. The relationship with the client is part of the service/product. Many entrepreneurs fail when it comes to this aspect of the business.
Clients want to feel that they are important. A reliable client can become the greatest asset of a business. For this reason the entrepreneur has to be focused on what keeps clients happy continually.
The best way to ensure the success of a business is to make it prominent. It must not merely offer another product. It has to stand out among the rest with a unique name and logo. Try to reach the target group and try to offer something that is not available from your competitors.
Peter earns a good income from taking care of lawns for homeowners in his immediate vicinity. He distinguishes himself from persons offering the same kind of service, by allowing his clients to determine for themselves when their lawns need more or less attention. He then takes it further by not only cutting the grass and the edges, but also fertilizing lawns according to what is required, adjusting the irrigation and mowing schedule to the growth rate of the grass. Peter also uses a roller type lawn mower because this provides the best results. He refers to himself as "the lawn expert who makes grass his business" and makes a point of knowing everything that is to be known about all different types of grass. He will also provide clients with advice on lawns or sections of lawns that do not do well because of the microclimate of a particular garden or area in a garden. He can also justifiably advertise the fact that" his" gardens/lawns are the best in the neighbourhood.
Clients form the most important part of the business. Without them there would not be a business. It therefore is important to know who your clients would be, long before you start your business.
Try to think of people who might become clients and answer the following questions:
Every business has to deal with many different competitors. The situation of one business being in constant competition with another creates opportunities for a creative entrepreneur. He/she has to find the weaknesses of the competitors and utilize these to his/her own advantage.
Businesses that offer the same product/service are not the only ones that compete with you. Those that offer a different kind of product/service also compete against you. One window washing enterprise must not regard only a similar enterprise as competition, but must also be aware of the competition offered by something like a brand of window cleaner that does not require rubbing dry, but merely has to be applied and then rinsed off.
Remember that the consumer is not only on the lookout for lower prices, but factors like neatness, accessibility, good marketing and personal service also attract consumers.
Study the following questionnaire and use it as a guideline to help you decide on whether an enterprise is viable.
Design an advertisement that will promote your product/service.
Learning Outcomes (LOs)
The learner will be able to demonstrate entrepreneurial knowledge, skills and attitudes.

Visual Studio Report Controls announcement
After the initial release of the ReportViewer ASP.Net control with Visual Studio 2005, we also released a separate add-on to the Visual Web Developer 2005 Express sku. But when Visual Studio 2008 was released, there was no equivalent add-in for the web developer sku. I'm happy to announce that this add-in is now available for Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition.
The ReportViewer control included in this download is the same one that is available with the other Visual Studio 2008 skus. This does not add new functionality to the design time or run time experience beyond making it available in a new sku.
English, French, and Japanese versions are available now. Additional languages will be available soon.
Download Details: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b67b9445-c206-4ff7-8716-a8129370fa1d
We have recently posted a number of samples that use the ASP.Net ReportViewer. These sample applications cover a wide range of topics. You'll see sample code for long standing ReportViewer concepts such as hooking up data sources to subreports and implementing a custom toolbar. There are also several samples covering areas that are new to the Visual Studio 2010 ReportViewer, such as the JavaScript API.

KANSAS CITY -- This is the seventh All-Star Game I have attended in person (the previous six: 1975, 1983, 1984, 1990, 1991, 2003). For whatever it's worth, the NL is 2-4 in those six previous games. Cubs players have had a prominent role in some of them: Bill Madlock was co-MVP in 1975 (and really should have won the award outright); Andre Dawson homered in the 1991 game, though the NL lost; Kerry Wood threw a scoreless inning with two strikeouts in 2003 in another NL loss.
Tonight, from Cubs Starlin Castro and Bryan LaHair, I hope they do well, but most importantly, come out uninjured. In the 1977 game at Yankee Stadium, Jerry Morales was hit on the knee by a Sparky Lyle pitch. Morales was hitting .331/.391/.502 at the All-Star break and was on a 100-RBI pace, but the knee injury bothered him the rest of the year -- he hit just .218/.269/.352 after the break, and missed a lot of playing time, playing in just 50 games with only 17 RBI. He was 28 at the time and it looked like he was becoming a solid regular, perhaps close to perennial All-Star status, but Morales was never quite the same player after that.
The NL leads the series 42-38-2, but they led by a lot more prior to 1997 -- the AL won 13 games in a row from 1997-2009, before the NL won the last two. One of the two tie games you likely know about, Bud's disaster in Milwaukee in 2002 that led to "this time it counts"; the other was the second of the two 1961 games, on July 31 that year in Washington. They had a 30-minute rain delay and then called it, primarily because players had to catch flights back to their teams. For the second of the two games that year, teams had only a two-day break instead of three, and transportation wasn't as rapid as it is today.
National League lineup:
Gonzalez DH, Cabrera CF, Braun LF, Votto 1B, Beltran RF, Posey C, Sandoval 3B, Uggla 2B, Furcal SS
American League lineup:
Jeter SS, Cano 2B, Hamilton LF, Bautista RF, Fielder 1B, Beltre 3B, Ortiz DH, Napoli C, Granderson CF
Today's Starting Pitchers | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Justin Verlander is making his first All-Star start after dominating the American League in 2011, and being excellent if not dominant in the first half of 2012. He nearly no-hit the Pirates earlier this season and has gone at least eight innings in half of his 18 starts. He won't have to do that tonight, of course; it could be a pitcher-dominated night, at least early in the game.
Another national sports event, another manufactured controversy. There really isn't much difference between the records of Matt Cain and R.A. Dickey. Dickey has more wins; ERA, WHIP and ERA+ are substantially the same, though Dickey has a slight edge. Dickey has three one-hitters, but Cain has his perfect game. In any case, both have been dominant this year and you'll likely see Dickey right after Cain's two innings.
Today's game is on Fox. Yes, it's Joe Buck & Tim McCarver. There's always the mute button.

Hi guys,
As a 'surfing-lover' I once went to a summer beach camp, and apart from many other activities we had a surfing lesson of 2 hours. Of course we all got long-boards ( they were from the brand 'BicSurf') and after these 2 hours I knew that I really loved surfing.
So a few months later I got a surfboard (5'6'' G-Board KID Twin Fin http://www.bicsportsurfboards.com/products/board,3,66.html and I surfed approximately a year on that board. Later I bought a 5'10'' Fish (http://www.bicsportsurfboards.com/products/acs,3,61.html) but I've got that board quite long now. I was planning to switch surfboard, but I must say, I haven't really made up my mind about which surfboard I should buy. I've asked several people about NSP surfboards, but they have very different opinions about it, good and bad ones...
Maybe you guys could help me choose a new board?

That headline is not really the title of a country song or a preview to a book on philosophy.
It is just an old saying of mine and others regarding the fact that there are at least two things you cannot command or direct from people, those being love and respect.
You can own a company, run a firm, have a relationship, or whatever, but it does not work if you demand love and/or respect.
When these come our way, they are given voluntarily, and all we can do is accept them and be humble about being loved.
That brings us to Denver broncos safety Brian Dawkins.
Playing for the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East perhaps made Dawkins less well-known to some Denver fans than he might have been, but anything we say or write downplays how he is regarded in Philadelphia.
In the City of Brotherly Love, Brian Dawkins is revered as no other athlete has been in Eagles history. That is not my statement to make, but I am roughly paraphrasing what has been said and written about him numerous times by Philadelphians since Dawk's arrival here in Denver.
Just today in the Philadelphia Daily News sports columnist Rich Hofmann wrote a wonderful piece about Dawkins and Philadelphians' emotional attachment to him, quoting at length no less a figure than Eagles' owner Jeffrey Lurie.
Jeffrey Lurie said, and again these are quotes from Rich Hofmann's piece, "I miss Brian. My attitude is, he's going to be with us probably longer than I live, the next 40, 50 years. He's going to be one of those great Eagles you see come back. There will never be anybody more of a favorite. That's not possible."
Lurie went on to say that "I would have loved to have had him forever."
There is no question that Dawk's impact on this Denver team was immediate and absolute.
No one questions his role as the squad's emotional leader, and his play is still of such a quality that he is frequently referred to as anywhere from a "potential" to a "likely" Hall of Famer.
He has two pass interceptions and three fumble recoveries for the Broncos this year, and that fumble recovery total is tied for the lead in the NFL this year. The combined takeaway total of five is tied for the Denver team high, and his hits are the kinds of jarring collisions that you remember no matter the outcome of the game in question.
Only three safeties in the history of the game have more Pro Bowl selections than Brian Dawkins.
It is going to be a very emotional day in Philadelphia on Sunday, certainly for Brian Dawkins — even more so given that his "normal" amp meter is off the charts — and of course for his wife Connie and family.
It's going to be emotional as well for the passionate Eagles fans who will be rooting for a Philly win, but no doubt enjoying and appreciating the return of the city's favorite son.
And Bronco fans should know and appreciate this as well.
This is one of those rare and special moments when the most popular player on the football field is possibly lining up for the visiting team.
You can't force love. It only comes voluntarily.
Philadelphia fans are known for their toughness, especially directed toward the opposition. But this Sunday Bronco fans will watch the toughest fans in football spill their love onto a player in orange and blue.

Abstract | Laboratory and field data bearing on the adaptive bleaching hypothesis (ABH) are largely consistent with it; no data of which we are aware refute it. We generalize the ABH in light of these data and observations. The population of zooxanthellae within an organism is dynamic, the diversity of zooxanthellae is both surprising and difficult to ascertain.. and field experiments demonstrate both turn-over in zooxanthella types and habitat-holobiont correlations. Dynamic change in symbiont communities. and the idea of an equilibrium or optimal community that matches the environment at a particular place and time. are concepts that underlie or emerge from much of the recent literature. The mechanism we proposed to explain responses to acute bleaching appears to operate continuously, thereby enabling the host-symbiont holobiont to track even subtle environmental changes and respond promptly to them. These findings enhance the potential importance of the ABH in the outcomes of acute bleaching. which can (1) accelerate this process of holobiont change, and (2) change the set of possible trajectories for how symbiont communities might recover. |

The honorable death of Pat Tillman and the growing numbers of re-enlistments in the military should speak volumes to those who would disparage or underestimate the resolve of America's current generation of patriots. But there are countless stories that convey the same point. Enough cannot be said in honor of the men who sacrifice so much that we might continue to live in freedom. These are the best of our generation and the best of what a free nation can produce. The whole world should look to their example. Americans of every political stripe should look to them for inspiration and be humbled by their willingness to defend us. Those who mean our nation harm should look to them with caution and fear. These are the young men who are coming after you and you will be held to account for your vicious lack of regard for the nature of humanity.
Here is yet another example of what these valiant young soldiers are sacrificing on our behalf:
Always a patriot, Brian Wood was just a 6th grader when he began defending his country. A voracious reader with wide-ranging interests, he had just finished reading all of Rush Limbaugh's books when he got into a heated political discussion with a teacher. While Brian's strong opinions were famous among those who knew him best, most people considered him a quiet and withdrawn boy. The quiet student in the back of the room is often mistaken for being unmotivated. This prejudice is frequently reinforced by the facts. But there are special cases
Respect, by the way, was not something upon which Brian placed small value. Indeed, his sister was surprised one year to open up a Christmas present and find inside a piece of paper with the word "respect" meticulously printed upon it. When she looked at her brother with confusion, he explained that he was giving her his respect and that, after all, was his greatest gift.
When Brian was a sophomore in high school, he announced to his mother his decision to follow in the footsteps of his father, three uncles, and a grandfather and join the military upon graduation. Because of his deep interest in reading and in history especially, he also had the goal of eventually becoming a high school history teacher. But his quiet skepticism kept him from pursuing that goal right away. His instincts#&151;quite correctly#&151;made him suspicious of most college history professors. Besides, he had another way to defend his country in mind.
Brian joined the Army on the delayed entry program, prior to graduating from high school in June 2001. By August of that year he was off to basic training. Of course, we all know what was to come in the following month. Brian was steeled by 9/11. As his family put it, Brian enlisted "not because he had no other choices, but because he loved his country." Brian advanced to the rank of sergeant and served as a combat engineer, or sapper. His job, as his father explained, was "to blow up things and keep things from blowing up." Specifically, he looked for bombs and land mines and disarmed them. He served in Germany and then spent time in Kosovo and Bosnia after his specialty training. He was notified of his deployment to Iraq with the 1st Infantry Division in January 2004.
In March, Brian's dad got an unexpected and all too brief phone call from Brian. Brian discussed the nature of his work and talked about how important the mission was and how the Iraqi people themselves were not the enemy but, on the whole, were quite appreciative of our efforts. He expressed his frustration that it appeared to him that the American people were not getting the full story#&151;that they were not hearing much about the progress being made. Brian's dad said he was upbeat in his conversation and excited because he enjoyed himself best when he was putting others before himself. His basic nature was that of service. On April 15, 2004 Brian sent an e-mail to his uncle Mike in which he discussed this in greater detail. I include the full text of this message:
Hey Mike,
Sorry about getting this off kinda late, been pretty hectic around here recently. Not quite sure what you're hearing from the news, I don't get a whole lot of time to follow it. For the most I feel that the Iraqi people actually appreciate us being here. The attacks that are happening are basically a result of unemployment, and a few terrorists (or whatever you want to call them) paying people off to do the attacks. From what I've heard from the locals around my sector they are pretty much just trying to do what they can to improve their quality of life. But when so many people are out of jobs, they will pretty much do anything they can to make ends meet to provide for themselves and their families. There are many issues that need to be resolved as far as rebuilding their country. And though the people want as many issues resolved as quickly as possible, they can't be resolved that way in an efficient manner. There are already many Iraqi police and ICDC which are basically the guys we are going after, and they use the support of the coalition forces as a cover, so the rest of the people won't be able to fight back.
So it may be a long road ahead, but for the large majority of the Iraqi people, they want us here, and they want us to help them rebuild. That always makes me feel good about being here, actually making a difference in these people's lives and giving them opportunities they've never had. It always amazes me how people don't think we should be here, I don't think they really understand what life is like here and how these people were treated. But I suppose most people will never understand that.
Well, it's great to hear you're enjoying your new house, I might have to take a trip up there once my time is up. I'll send ya e-mails when I can.
Less than 24 hours after sending that missive, on Friday, April 16, Brian was killed when his Humvee hit a land mine on the side of a road.
Speaking with his father, I was reminded not only of the things Brian had to sacrifice in order to protect liberty but of what America is sacrificing when we lose men like him. His dad told me that Brian's room at home was a testament to his eclectic and insatiable intellectual pursuits. He had everything from a computer program on the Rosetta stone, to books on Leonardo daVinci, 18th-century naval warfare, philosophy, chemistry, physics, philosophy, politics and#&151;of course#&151;history. What a teacher he might have been! But what a man he was. What an American he was. We must re-double our efforts to produce more like him and, in so doing, let us learn from his example.
A scholarship fund will be set up in Brian's honor. Contributions can be sent to:

The Equality Act came into force on 1 October 2010. Some of the information on this page may be out of date.
Age discrimination law currently applies in employment, vocational training, further education and higher education, where you have been treated less favourably on the basis of your age, without justification. This may be because you are considered too young or too old.
Age discrimination law does not currently apply to goods and services, though human rights law may give some protection in these areas. The law on age discrimination will change on October 1st 2012 to bring in a ban on age discrimination in the provision of services, carrying out public functions and activities of clubs and associations. This website will be updated with new guidance shortly.
Legally, the test for many potential cases of age discrimination is whether the discrimination can be said to be 'justified'. Unlike most other types of discrimination, justification can be used lawfully as a defence for direct age discrimination, as well as indirect age discrimination.

Will I get a course release for serving as thesis advisor? Will I get a course release for serving as advisor for multiple students?
No. Advising a thesis is an Auxiliary Teaching activity.
How does the thesis committee structure function? How does the role of thesis advisor differ from the roles of other committee members? What, exactly, is the relationship between student and advisor? How does the relationship between student and advisor differ from the student's relationships with other committee members? How much influence might other committee members have on the student's project? Are the answers to these questions clearly articulated to the student? How?
While there is no one perfect way to arrange the committee, the advisor should have final approval of the committee's membership. The initiative for forming the committee should come from the student, but the advisor and student may determine between themselves who should approach the other potential committee members.
Committees will vary in their working methods, but several overall guidelines should be followed: a) materials should be seen by the advisor before they are seen by the other committee members, b) committee members should not be seeing sections of the thesis for the first time in the defense draft, and c) in the case of disputes between committee members, the advisor has precedence as the instructor of record for ENG 6030. Should a dispute become unmanageable, the Program Director is available to mediate, with further recourse to the Department Chair if necessary.
I need to get a thesis course listed on the department schedule; I also need to get my student or students enrolled in the course. What should I do?
You need to notify the Administrative Support Associate, Ms. Carolyn Price, and you will also need to notify the Department Chair and the Registrar. Be aware, however, that these are two separate issues.
To have the thesis course listed, provide Ms. Price with both the number and the title of the course as well as the number of students allowed to register for the course, their names and Banner ID numbers. Ms. Price can handle all communications with the Registrar, but you are responsible for checking the department schedule (online) and making sure that your request has been implemented. If the course does not appear on the schedule within a day or two, then follow up with Ms. Price.
Once the course is listed in Braveweb, Ms. Price will need to know the names and Banner ID numbers of individuals allowed to enroll in the course; she will then perform an override to allow students to register for a thesis course. Once this process is complete, students enrolling in a thesis course will then need to register online. If students have difficulty registering for the course (and the course is actually on the schedule), then they should contact Ms. Price directly for help. Should you encounter any problems with this process, contact the Program Director for help as well.
Must students take 6020 and 6030 in sequence?
What happens if a student does not complete the six-credit thesis in the semester during which she takes ENG 6030, or the three-credit thesis in a single semester?
ENG 6020 always receives a grade of "T." You may assign the student the grade of T for ENG 6010 or ENG 6030. As the Graduate Studies section of the UNCP Catalog explains, "A grade of 'T' indicates grade pending and is issued only for thesis research and capstone courses and for the year-long internship in school administration." If "T" is not an option on the drop-down menu, then e-mail the Registrar (Sharon Kissick) directly; if you provide her with the student's name and ID number and apprise her of the situation, she can assign the grade manually. The "T" grade does not automatically convert to an "F" after one semester as does an "I" grade. The professor must complete a Change of Grade Form for ENG 6020 following the student's completion of thesis and thesis defense, and will also need to do so for ENG 6030 if the defense takes place after grades are due for the semester in which the student is enrolled in ENG 6030. A completed thesis receives a grade of "P" for both ENG 6020 and ENG 6030
The Graduate School specifies that the student must submit to the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies a final copy of the thesis with corrections made "at least two weeks before the end of the semester in which the student expects to complete degree requirements." Specifically when is the end of the semester?
The end of the semester refers to the day that grades must be submitted; the thesis, therefore, should be submitted to the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies no later than two weeks prior to the day that grades are due.
Nota bene: Thesis binding costs $20 per copy, and students are required to submit only one final copy of the thesis on special paper for binding purposes. All copies (including extra copies) presented for binding should be printed on special paper with original signature pages. Students must speak directly with June Mills at the library concerning the binding process following approval of the thesis by the Graduate School.
Students are also requested to provide a copy of the thesis to the Graduate Director for our program archive, though those do not need to be printed on the special paper.
Any further questions about the Thesis advising process may be directed to the Program Director. You can also find the directions for students here (Graduate Program in English) and here (School of Graduate Studies).

"Excellant TV!"
on by Mike-RicheyPros Picture quality is stunning
Smart tv is very cool
3D works really well
Speakers sound greatCons Expensive
Voice control is not usefulSummary Before ordering, I read the many techie reviews of the smaller 8000 models, so I thought I would write about the nuts and bolts things I love about the new set for older people like me.
PICTURE: First off, I went to several stores viewing the Samsung 55" 7100, and 7050 series models (the 7050 comes with a keyboard also in the box) next to the Sharp, LG, Sony, and Visio, and its very close, but to my eye the Samsung is the best. It is also the highest priced. That said, I am thrilled with the HD quality on such a large screen. Watching Blu-ray movies on this is an incredible home theatre experience, and I am sure the kids will be thrilled with the 3D movies.
I also have to say that I don't see any difference between the picture on the 8000 series and 7000 series, which is selling for a grand less. So unless you are very picky, and don't need the quad-core processor for the SMART features, you might be happier spending less money. I do like that the 8000 got rid of the sheet metal edge trim on the front of the 7000 series and moved it to the side, so the front is all black. All in all, this TV is a work of art, from the beautiful finish on the back, with covers for power and input sections, to the very sturdy stand, to the unique remote.
THE REMOTE: This is the coolest remote I have ever seen. It has a carbon fiber back and a metal top, with raised icons substituting for buttons, so you easily feel them with your finger tip in the dark. It is small but hefty, like a well-balanced gun. The touch pad is brilliant, allowing you to swipe through all the app and function icons on the screen, as well as a pop up number pad or keyboard. The way you can rip though the channels and the volume with the UP and DOWN icons on this remote, is really what makes this TV the KING.
Unlike other HDTVs where the screen goes blank for about 2-3 seconds when you change channels, this TV is simply amazing. It's instantaneous. In fact you can hold down the UP or Down channel icon, and rip through about 20 channels in 2 seconds, which totally spoils you for any other TV if you like to channel surf. To top it off, you don't even have to point it at the TV!
Footnote: My only wish is they would have put a "RECALL" button where the LIGHT button is, so that I could instantly jump back and forth between two football games, instead swiping the popup pad on the screen. I see no need for the LIGHT button, since the icons all light up every time you press one anyway.
I went all out and also bought the Samsung keyboard to go with the TV, which has a few more handy function keys than the small remote. The mouse pointer that comes on the screen when the keyboard is turned on does seem to be really slow and occasionally freeze. I am hoping there might be a way to fine tune or adjust this.
SMART FEATURES: When you turn on the TV, the current channel is playing in a PIP in the upper left hand corner, plus pictures of 12 other suggested channels, plus the menu at the top to swipe any other app or function. Very cool, being connected to the internet, you can download movies, programs, games, apps, and surf the internet with no computer, although it seems much slower than my powerful desktop PC and laser mouse. You can also view what is on screen with your tablet, or phone screen. I am not sure if you will be saving any money by getting rid of cable or satellite boxes, since you will have to pay as much or more, for a high speed Wi-Fi connection to prevent buffering, and you also have to pay for most of the premium internet programs you download.
It seems EVERYTHING is now smart. The TVs, the game console, the 3D Blu-ray players, even the new home theater receiver's, so I am guessing you will now have to decide which remote to use to run apps. lol The speakers do not have the punch of my older 55 inch Samsung LCD, but are OK for everyday TV use, and I have a 600 watt home theater system for movies anyway. I also bought the new Samsung 3D Blu-ray player, and when you turn on the player it immediately shows the player menu screen, so you don't have to use the TV remote to switch inputs, like I did with my older TVs.
I think the stand is beautiful and much steadier for a TV this size than a swivel, but I hung mine on the wall for the ultimate modern look to hide the cables, and sit higher than most cabinets.
Note, if you will buy this TV, I suggest check for low price at: f8000ledhdtvreviews.blogspot.com/p/buy-samsung-un55f8000-low-price.html
In summary I think I will very happy with this TV for at least 3 or 4 years, until the 4K prices come down, and I decide to get a 75 or 95 incher, where the 4K resolution will rule. -
"A superb television."
on by patrick87--2008Pros Black levels, power consumption, various interfaces, features, style.
Cons Stylish but perhaps unnecessarily so WRT the stand.
Summary We are really enjoying this new set. We opted for the 46" version, which is plenty big. We love the built in camera for Skyping with friends all over the world. The feature set is awesome and we use Netflix and Amazon Instant regularly. The touch pad remote is sweet as well. The set reflects a well thought-out feature set and solid implementation. I have no expectations it repond like a laptop - for a TV it is great.
"Best Edge Lit HDTV with deep blacks and rich color"
on by itchykawa1Pros Micro Dimming Ultimate, 1200 CRM, LED Edge Lit, Evolution Kit Ready
Cons Pricey, but not too crazy.
Summary You get what you pay for. It's awesome!

It's been a while since I've done a blog on my latest obsessions, so let's dive on in, shall we?
Pandora's Willie Nelson Station
I grew up on Willie. And Merle, and Kenny, and Kris, and all the rest of them. TJ did not, and swears that he "hates" country music. All I know is that we have the Willie Nelson Station on nearly 24/7 these days. It's the best dinner party music, I swear. Before you know it everyone is feeling good and asking for bourbon and having a good ole time. Things I have learned: In "Lucille" by Kenny Rogers, he does not say "You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, with 400 children and a croc in the field." He actually says, "You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, with four hungry children and a crop in the field." Makes so much more sense now.
Apparently, once you have kicked Lyme's disease, you have to deal with the fact that it has kicked you right back. That is the stage I am in right now and I seemingly can't digest anything – but specifically gluten, dairy, nuts and eggs. I love making salads out of farro and wheat berries and things like that, so it's been hard to find a replacement. Quinoa is hit or miss for me. Sometimes I love it, sometimes it tastes like cat litter, so I've been searching for an alternative. Millet is it (from Red Mill)! It's sort of like a cross between quinoa and couscous. I've been making some great roasted veggie salads with it and am now at full obsession.
Moto Boots
I still love my tall boots, but my moto boots have been such a breath of fresh air this winter. I slip them on and run out the door and they make all my favorite outfits look fresh and new. It's amazing how you can change your whole wardrobe with a new pair of boots. I found these at Nordstrom and they are on permanent back-order, but they will email you when they get more in if you sign up for a wait list. That's how I got mine.
Game of Arms
TJ watched the premiere of this show while I was reading the other night, and I couldn't help but get sucked in. My favorite part was when a bunch of arm wrestling guys were standing around a bonfire having an intervention with another arm wrestler that looked like Hurley from Lost. One guy said to the Hurley look-a-like, "Dude, you have a natural talent. You're the best. You can be the best, but you gotta walk away from the beer!!!!" Dying laughing. Still laughing. Can't stop laughing. (His response was, "I don't drink every day, but man when I have one I can't stop until I have 42 more!")
RMS Beauty Products
My mom and I did a day of South End shopping last week and, of course, ended up at Follain, my happy spot. I started poking around the make-up table and the next thing I know, I am wearing the most amazing under eye concealer of all time – the RMS Beauty "Un" Cover-up. The products all have a coconut oil base and are made from organic ingredients. It covers dark circles (mine are chronic) and nourishes the skin under your eyes, which looks like tissue paper after a winter like this. I love love love love. Plus, Gisele uses it. Enough said.
If you haven't been to Sarma in Somerville yet, please go. The atmosphere is charming and fun, the food is festive and tasty, the wine list small as can be, but well thought out. I love how they bring food to your table dim sum style. This technique has been getting push back on Yelp (remember my other obsession – reading bad Yelp reviews and somehow being shocked that people are so crazy), but I find it a gracious yet spontaneous way to eat. As someone that provides close 80 meals a week for my family (3 squares a day, 7 days a week, 4 people!), it was decadent to have food brought to me – no meal planning necessary!
