From the beginning of the last NYC condominium boom up to today, Manhattan condos have been locked in a strange and occasionally silly sort of arms race. It's not one that puts anybody's lives at risk, thankfully -- this sort of arms race pertains mainly to amenities, and which condominium can have the biggest and best extras to go along with those condos for sale. It makes a certain type of sense, given that there are only so many ways that one luxury condominium for sale can differ from another luxury condominium for sale. And so we get the spectacle of The Aldyn with its 40,000-square-foot fitness center and the Cipriani Club Residences' 20,000-volume library and 20 Pine's private subway entrance. These are all nice things to have in a condominium, of course, which is why the aforementioned rank among the most popular Manhattan condo listings at New Construction Manhattan. But the appeal of those elaborate amenities is a bit more abstract than the simple joys of one of Manhattan's rarest and most sought-after amenities -- a private terrace.
With one mega-blizzard down and a few slightly less 'zardy snowfalls in both the past and immediate future (at least as this post goes live), it's fair to say that winter has arrived in New York City. New Yorkers know what this means -- it means frequent reiterations of "snowpocalypse"-grade weather hyperbole, and it means subway delays and wet socks, and slush and wet socks and all kinds of other fun stuff. There are some considerably more appealing things about snow in NYC, of course -- a walk on the quiet streets (in waterproof boots, naturally), that sort of thing -- but for the most part, New Yorkers' have one goal in mind when it comes to snow, and that goal is avoiding it. Which brings us to 20 Pine, which is unique among condo listings in the Financial District not just for being an especially artful renovated luxury condo, but for having a luxury that many New Yorkers will wish they had on snowy mornings to come -- private subway access.
A newly released report lists the past season's most popular New York City new condos, based on contracts inked. The number one building? Harlem's beautiful and LEED-certified Kalahari. With good reason! We can't say enough about this building. Other highly desirable buildings in which we have condos for sale...

Our poor HR dept is currently pulling their hair out. They need to download a new certificate from the Teachers Pensions / Capita site.
This requires them to logon to an https site and download a .csv file. When they click on the file nothing happens. No time-outs, errors, dialogues, amusing juggling kitten pictures, nada.
We're using IE8 on XP. Cleared out the caches, tried with our admin level accounts, no luck. Stuck our by now slightly miffed HR chap on a laptop that has a link that bypasses our firewall, etc and he can download the certificate. However...he still can't download from their site.
I'm told we're not blocking or filtering https sites any differently to the way we always have. We did however download this stuff for him last year.
Any ideas what we might need to do?
(My apologies for the rather vague nature of the post)

text: Poison tried to infuse their music with "serious" themes on this album, atempting to distance themselves from the glam-party goodtime rock that was their forte. Sometime it works, sometimes it doesen't. Happily, on this album, most of the time it works very well. Some of CC's best playing is featured here.Overall, this is not the type of material that Poison is known for, but it's still damn good. Sadly, this would be the last of Poison's major chart successes, as its follow-up, "Native Tounge" was a commercial failure, and the more recent "Crack A Smile" and "Power To The People", while they are both really good albums, simply can't compete for popularity with the legions of idiot rappers, boy bands and worthless teen pop idols that pollute the radio airwaves. And it's really not fair, because if Kid Rock released a song like "Ball And Chain" or "Poor Boy Blues", everyone would eat it right up. But if they know it's poison, the automatic mentality that takes hold is that "It's gonna be gay". People should open their minds and give some different stuff a chance.

Twitter security attack 'not work of amateurs'
Twitter's director of information security, Bob Lord said the hacking attack on the social networking site "was not the work of amateurs".
This attack was not the work of amateurs, and we do not believe it was an isolated incident. The attackers were extremely sophisticated, and we believe other companies and organizations have also been recently similarly attacked. For that reason we felt that it was important to publicize this attack while we still gather information, and we are helping government and federal law enforcement in their effort to find and prosecute these attackers to make the Internet safer for all users.

Telematics has been the buzz word in the auto insurance industry for quite some time now and rightly so. As mentioned in my previous blog, it represents one of the most disruptive innovations in recent times for the insurance industry. The idea is to capture the real-time data and transform it to either a 'Usage Based Insurance' (UBI) or a 'Pay as You Drive' (PAYD) insurance. The UBI is basically governed by the amount of time you spend behind the wheels while PAYD encompasses your behavior (e.g. speeding) while driving, along with the mileage driven. The 'behavior' component is essential to differentiate between two drivers - both travelling the same distance over a period - one does a daily commute during the rush hour in a hurry to not miss the morning appointment, while other doing a leisure travel during the weekends.
The traditional implementation of telematics device would be a black box integrated along with other on-board-devices in the vehicle and making use of satellite and cellular network. A more recent innovation is the advent of smart phones. Smart phones could make use of a suitable mobile app, the inbuilt GPS and the accelerometer to send and receive data over the mobile network. The result of all this would be multidimensional. The underwriters would be assessing more relevant and updated information to write policies with actual risks. The drivers would have an opportunity to reduce their premium and deductibles by showcasing their good driving behavior. The society would get not only a safer road (refer PAYD insurance) but also a greener one (refer UBI).
One area which is still undiscovered - in terms of using telematics - is 'Life Insurance Underwriting'. As we know life insurance is a complex product and needs more expertise in underwriting. In that sense, the use of telematics should be considered a farfetched idea. Underwriters usually want to factor in all possible facts that might affect the mortality risk of the applicant. Premium amount for a policy is typically driven by a person's health history and lifestyle (relate it to the behavior aspect we discussed a while earlier). Smokers end up paying more compared to non-smoker. While a person with possible heart risk might end up paying more than a person without. Thrill hunters who love 'Auto Racing', 'Sky Diving' or rock climbing might well be denied a cover.
Life Insurance policies often include an "Accidental Death Benefit" (ADB) rider along with the normal policy. Most of the insurance providers are offering this rider on a flat rate basis or rather very minimal underwriting. An ideal scenario would be if underwriters were to establish some kind of formula to rationally charge for the ADB rider. The 'behavior' part of the life underwriting decision should also consider the applicants behavior on road and how it contributes to the risk. With the increased use of 'telematics', there might come a stage when life insurance underwriters start seeking that information. Like the credit scoring system, a 'safe driving index' system might eventually make its way to provide information to the auto industry as well as life industry.
Although the implementation of telematics itself comes with pre-packaged concerns which can be discussed at length, one cannot deny the potential of this disruption. It could lead to new ways of underwriting as well as product development. In an ideal insurance ecosystem, be it auto or life, telematics seems to be a promising part of the future-state.]]>
Few insurers have realized the need to Simplify their operations to show productivity and reduce costs. Few initiatives for simplification include
1) Creating single digital nervous system for key functions such as HR & Finance to enable faster flow of information
2) Setting up of shared services structures for Infrastructure across subsidiaries
3) Single instances, server consolidation and virtualization
4) Integrated planning, performance management processes across entities
Increasingly Corporate CIOs are given the responsibility to reduce the IT costs by simplifying the underlying structures, processes and systems. Such a transformation is possible only with the direct support of a CEO and CFO.]]>
Some key business objectives of Insurance companies are around enhancing customer experience, revenue growth, minimizing operational expenses, improving employee productivity and distribution effectiveness. IT departments need to evaluate where Web 2.0 would be most effective to solve parts of the business problems once the business objectives are internalized. These business problems can be broadly structured around 3 key stakeholders – Employees (for Internal Operational effectiveness & Employee productivity); Customers (Customer experience, product development & revenue growth); Partners - Distributors, Suppliers etc (For Channel productivity and efficiencies).
Once the key stakeholders / business objectives are identified, organizations could start working on three key dimensions of change management – Process, Technology & people. Focusing on technology without focusing on business process and people can be disastrous. There are several examples where blogs, wikis, discussion forums don't attract enough interest in the user community because the key business problems or issues are not addressed]]>
Insurers that are conservative have tried to use Web 2.0 initially for Operational effectiveness through Employee collaboration (internal blogs, Wikis, discussion forums, podcasts) before venturing into investments towards Distribution & customers. This could be a good starting point to improve confidence in the business stakeholders to show early signs of ROI.
Your comments are welcome..]]>
1. Modernize with capability enhancement - Insurers are exploring opportunities to improve business capabilities while modernizing their IT systems. It is a much easier business case when IT modernization gets done along with business capability enhancement. Application modernization and consolidation is done while keeping in mind the overall business vision and business capability enhancement.
2.Re-hosting - Completely shift applications from mainframes to newer platforms to reduce the risk as well as cost of operations and provide a starting point to extend Legacy applications. There are tools available for the lift and shift. This is less expensive than the overall application consolidation / rationalization.
3. Re-factoring /Web enablement – Componentize existing applications to enable re-usability and improve maintainability. Identify and expose 'services' moving legacy applications towards a standard Service Oriented Architecture
4. Packages - Chose the right product from the 100+ product vendors available in the market
Modernization initiatives that tended to focus on improving only IT effectiveness or pure IT head count haven't received much support from business. A broader focus on integration of business & IT architecture and business capability acquisition would provide better business value and hence easier to achieve success with modernization efforts. Considering the difficult times, any innovative approaches to reduce the cost of operations would be welcomed by business leaders. If change has not been initiated already, it is never too late!

CRICKET played a big part in Australia Day festivities at Quirindi, Manilla and Narrabri.
Out at Narrabri, the Mayor's XI took on – and triumphed over – the Indigenous XI in their annual Australian Day clash.
It was sweet revenge for mayor Conrad Bolton after the Indigenous side had claimed the silverware with a nine wicket win in last year's fixture.
The Indigenous XI batted first but were bowled out for 69 in the 19th of their 20 overs.
Ashley Hynch was the top-scorer with 17 batting at 11, followed by wides (12) and Michael Knox (11).
Member for Barwon Kevin Humphries showed he's a pretty handy cricketer, claiming 2-6 from his two overs of medium pace.
Sadintha Perara also chimed in with 3-4 from two.
Perara started out behind the stumps but traded in the keeping gloves to roll the arm over.
The Mayor's XI was relatively untroubled in the chase, passing the runs in the 15th over and batting on to reach 5-106 off their 20 overs.
RSL skipper Michael Miskle led the charge with the bat, making 20 at the top of the order.
Nathan Trindall also hit 18no and Jake Brayshaw 13 retired, while Humphries chipped in with eight before retiring.
The Indigenous side also gifted them 19 runs in wides.
Bolton, though, again failed to make a contribution with the bat.
For the second year in a row he was dismissed for a duck by councillor and Indigenous XI skipper Les Knox.
Last year it was a golden.
This year he faced three balls and was "pretty unlucky", umpire Tony Meppem said, with Knox taking a blinder of a caught and bowled to get him.
Knox was the pick of the Indigenous bowlers with 2-3 from his two.
At Quirindi, the local association held its annual Super 8s Big Bash on Saturday and Sunday with young local side The Falcons prevailing over The Blumpkins in Sunday's final.
The Falcons batted first and made 109 thanks to 33 from Kain Montague and an unbeaten 35 from Chris Saunders.
In reply, the Blumpkins were bowled out for 87.
As he was in the semi-final, Dave McVicar was their top-scorer with 38no but had little support.
Manilla was just a one-day affair and saw 10 teams battle it out for the Manilla Sevens honours.

Another recipe by Brenda Walsh from her cooking demonstration "A little taste of Asia." This fried rice is made vegan (no egg) so it's healthier with zero cholesterol. Watch vegetables carefully as you don't want to overcook them. Try adding other vegetables, such as red bell pepper, zucchini, turnips or eggplant. If you like a little spice, add 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper. Mmm Mmm good! Cooking time doesn't include cooking the brown rice. I usually cook my brown rice in a rice cooker and it takes about 20minutes.

Like craft beer and looking for a job?
Sea Dog Brew Pub starts hiring to fill 120 full and part time positions Tuesday Nov. 6 at the restaurant, 26200 US Highway 19 N, according to a post on the brewery's Facebook page.
Florida's first Sea Dog Brewing Co. pub is coming to the former Pssghetti's building along U.S. 19 near Countryside Mall in November.
The Sunshine State is one of the Maine-based beer maker's strongest markets, which led it to open the Sea Dog Brew Pub here.
Being a brew pub means most of the beer is made onsite. Some beer still will come from Maine. The Sea Dog Brew Pub's menu features local seafood and produce as well as traditional Northeastern favorites like Maine lobster and New England clam chowder.

- If you decide to add something to the scope of work, or if there are any changes to the scope of work after the proposal has been signed.
- If there are any unforeseen circumstances that couldn't have been known before the proposal was signed like,
- Dry rot damage in the wall/floor cavity that was not evident from the outside of the wall/floor.
- Electrical - plumbing work that isn't up to the eletrical-plumbing codes that are hidden by the wall/ceiling coverings.
That's it! If we forget something in the proposal, then way pay the cost of that item. No questions asked.

And so the monitor search begins...
Hey guys,
i am currently searching for an external monitor for my trusted Macbook Air. I just need some more desktop space for general computing and a little bit of foto editing, nothing fancy though and nowhere near professional level. Gaming is not planed at all so i would really like to go with an IPS panel.
My Requirements:
- 21" or 23" with 1920 x 1080
- IPS panel
- if possible height adjustable & portrait mode
- I`d prefer 16:10 over 16:9 but thats really just a bonus
- Display Port or HDMI
- and all that for less then ~250€ ( ~320$)
The Options:
So far i found a couple of candidates and the best one so far seems to be the Dell Ultra Sharp U2312HM in 23". It offers everything i need but it has an anti glare coat. I really dont see the point in having a matte display that i will never use in bright light and i heard some bad things about light colours looking terrible on this screen.
Alternatives include the Dell S2240M which is not height adjustable and the Dell Ultra Sharp U2412M which is just a little bit to big, a little bit to expensive and not even an IPS panel.
So, which one would be the best choice? Maybe somebody has personal experience with one of them or knows another monitor that would be perfect. What do you think?

Feature Designs
Denim coffin
However tatty and frayed, he always wears jeans. This cardboard coffin reflects the personality of the person who ordered it. Covered with a patchwork of denim the pieces are cut or torn into varying shapes and attached using fabric glue. Pockets and belt loops provide ideal places for mourners to slip notes, photographs and flowers. Buttons, labels and any other interesting features are used to cover blemishes or where something didn't quite fit!
Panoramic view coffin
This casket has been designed for a weary traveller. Always fascinated by panoramic views she planned one day to make a patchwork quilt to reflect the beautiful countryside but has never got around to it. Ordered prior to need this cardboard coffin provided the perfect canvas for a collage. Using water based glue and her collection of fabrics; ploughed fields have been transformed into brown corduroy, fields of corn into gold felt and green towelling into meadows. Hedgerows are depicted using fluffy wool and cut out felt animals, with a few daisies, decorate the fields. Woollen balls are used for solitary trees.
Between helping families arrange unique funerals at ARKA Original Funerals in Brighton, Jean, one of the team decorates personalised coffins. Her innovative ideas are endless and orders can be taken, but ideally long before there is a need.

World Cup 2010 coffin
This coffin was produced to show at the 'Handled with Care' exhibition held at the Chiltern Woodland Burial park in July 2010.
View the event at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-10636368
Collage coffin
This cardboard coffin is in the process of being collaged with photographs. The idea can be used as a family project and a meaningful way to utilise pictures that have lived in a box for many years. This coffin has recently been on show at an exhibition at The Worthing Museum. This idea was part of the Jean Francis workshop. Jean is the author of 'time to go' the importance of saying goodbye.
A Jazzy send off
It was business as usual in the office at Greenfields when an order was placed for a Lily White coffin, little did we know it was for a famous London Jazz singer. To show how much friends, family and the community would remember him they were asked to decorate the coffin themselves to show their love and thanks to a very popular person.
"The coffin was so covered in Snapshots and cartoons you could hardly recognise it as being a plain white box."
"As a lover of trout fishing I attached a fishing line to show my respects."
Why not view this Jazzy send off at: http://www.thisislondon.co.uk
Is it a Bookcase or Coffin? ("Well actually it's both")
When Barbara called Greenfield Creations she knew what coffin she wanted and had really thought out what design would be right for her. Barbara explained she had limited storage in her house but would still like a coffin ready. In this remarkable project Greenfield Creations made the coffin into a book case with shelves that could easily be taken out so it was functional for use in the house and at the same time ready for when the time came.
"I now have my books arranged in the coffin - bookcase and am delighted with the effect. Thank you for doing this unusual project for me, I really do appreciate it. I didn't try taking the shelves out to change it into a coffin but I am sure the coffin will be fully functional for when the time comes.
Thank you again for your work and my very best wishes to you. Barbara Hin"
The penguin coffin
Jonathan Whitehead, who came to us recently for work experience, designed this penguin coffin. Jonathan worked in all areas of our production plant and design shop and during his time with us he excelled in the design side of our service. After his initial training he was then set a task to produce a new design for a coffin. He spent time developing his ideas and Greenfield Creations then produced his one-off design.
Decoupage coffin
One of Greenfield Creations more recent product ideas was to decoupage a coffin to help give the image more depth. We are producing a number of floral designs but we can apply this method to any image.
Painting the canvas coffin
Greenfield Creations launched the canvas covered coffin at a recent trade exhibition. Roy Barrett, a professional artist, offered his services to demonstrate the finish that can be achieved. See other examples of Roy Barrett's work at www.art-of-motoring.co.uk

The HS Game Time football Coach of the Year award is going to be renamed to honor one of the Inland area's coaching legends, and we want your input. Cast your vote below, between now and Jan. 13.
The candidates:
Pete Lanzi: Built the California School for the Deaf, Riverside football program and spent 26 seasons as its head coach, usually getting the most out of his players with equal doses of patience, good humor and caring. Lanzi (pictured, left, as a player at Youngstown State in the 1940s), passed away in 1996 at the age of 73.
Sam Pecchia: Served as a coach and administrator for 26 years at Riverside Ramona and Riverside Arlington. He won two football Coach of the Year awards in six seasons after starting up Arlington's program in the fall of 1973 and sent 10 players into the pros as Ramona's baseball coach from 1960-73, and a good number of the young men he mentored eventually became coaches or administrators themselves. Pecchia passed away in 2005 at age 83.
Ben Hammerschmidt: Coached in the area for 31 years, two each at San Jacinto and RCC (where he doubled as baseball coach) and 27 at Riverside Poly, 18 as head coach. His teams won eight league titles, he coached future pros Bobby Bonds and Bill Parsons, and he served on numerous CIF committees. Hammerschmidt passed away in 2009 at age 91.
Dick Bruich: Won an Inland record 292 games, with four CIF sectional titles, three state titles and a national championship, in 33 seasons as a coach at Fontana and Fontana Kaiser, sending three players to the pros and dozens — including his son, Redlands East Valley's Kurt — into coaching before retiring from coaching in 2009. From there, he took his mentoring in another direction, volunteering at Operation SafeHouse, a shelter for troubled teens. Bruich, retired, lives in Riverside.
Gary Campbell: Won 279 games, second most in Inland coaching history, with three CIF sectional titles and six championship game appearances, 11 league titles won or shared and six Riverside County Coach of the Year awards in one season at Banning and 34 seasons at Norco before stepping down after the 2003 campaign. Campbell, retired, lives in Payson, Ariz.

More than one hundred dead dolphins have been found in the washed up on the state's beaches since July, and the investigation as to why has been slowed by the government shutdown.
The Marine Mammal Stranding Center brings the dead dolphins to researchers at the Department of Agriculture's state lab in Mercer County. There they are working to discover more about why the animals are dying off, but the government shutdown has brought part of the investigation to a standstill. Federal authorities have had to stop analyzing and disseminating data sent from state labs all along the Atlantic Coast.
Federal wildlife authorities have determined Morbillivirus, a form of measles, is likely causing the deaths. The same illness was blamed for a similar die–off in the late '80's.

My RoadThis journal will contain some great photographs of a winter paradise.On December, a friend of mine, musher known as a legend, the great mentor to me has passed away, I traveled up to the mountains and went on mushing alone (skijoring: cross-country skiing + sled dog, it looks like that: http://i.pinger.pl/pgr221/0fa2234e000267884b460f96/justyna_kowalczyk_10.jpg but with a dog pulling you) with my leader Arnaq. Instead spending Christmas at cozy places, I've been very hardly training cross-country skiing (skate style) alone and with my dog as well. On that month I've been doing negatively physically as well mentally, especially that feeling of emptiness after losing someone where you will never see this person again- sport was absolutely to best thing to help myself to overthink many things and make me to stand on feet properly. But other than sport by itself I did but that trip was kind of my personal memorial for that musher who passed away. In his name I went on mushing. For
Unbelieveable!Look:© art by Stanislaw ZoladzAnd this IS watercolor painting. 100% watercolor. Kthnxbye.I've been a lot in traditional art society, and just... I spotted this artwork. No, at the first it was a photograph for me. For really long time I wasn't interested to take a look deeper at that common photograph until I got bothered by loads of people to take a peek on it. That really knocked me out from chair, is not the fact it's 100% painting but it's watercolor. I've seen 100% photo looking a like acrylics, oils and really mixed medium ways of paintings but... watercolor alone? And that's from simple watercolor "squares" palette. I'm not really fan of photo-realistic paintings, I do love real life paintings with very artistic touch and with it's own original style... but for this one I have lots of "wow" for this artist to master watercolor on insane level of skill by using simple techni
My thoughts...Firstly, as always I'd like to express my honest gratitude for all the comments I've received and as well, very important to know for me were about school/courses informations. I don't care if you read this or not but- thank you very much!I would like to state how community flow is really important for me. No, not only for me but to many people. Just many people aren't aware of this.I think the interactions between the artist and watchers - and whole community relationships thing - is one of the most vital parts that our creations exist. Writers have fans, travelers, artists, illustrators, companies, fashion bloggers etc. and so on. You may call it as a "fanbase", thus I prefer to not call because "fans" and "fanbase" has a lot of negative stereotypes and image about blindly screaming "minors". I'd prefer to name differently, because I do not view them as minors. Absolutely. I view them as an every worthy human on equal worth as the creator and that's a fact. They are just guests to

Dingo's MiracleWe won his life....!This is follow up from: http://exileden.deviantart.com/journal/Ready-for-the-Rainbow-Bridge-376646378 and http://exileden.deviantart.com/journal/Update-377049534I know! I've been away from DA and other online source due to that I've took care of my real life completely, I've been absent from art and I will try to reply most of notes on dA... but firstly, let me share with my happiest news that I bear with me. As a following update about Dingo's situation. I know, some of you may think by that time he could be on the rainbow bridge... he really could be gone, I could be utmostly depressed and even wouldn't be able to continue my health therapies. Who knows! But life really can surprise us...As you see, he is still with us. I've been enjoying every single day with him!Do you remember my last journal update about our Dingo? On that day when I updated, whil
Animals (photogallery)Animals were always important for me- especially having physical contact with them. Not because of art. No one told me or persuaded to like them. It was even before I started drawing them and creating imaginary creatures. I'll say, I don't really remember the moment when I started liking animals- I feel like I liked them before I gained my own consciousness. Which is strange, none of my parents had special liking to them, nor we had any animals. My passionate love to animals was written in the stars that no one can erase or manipulate with my feelings toward our little brothers... I'm waking up early at morning.Usually I'm a longsleeper, that I have demanding need to sleep for long hours but this morning, very early a pack of kittens were jumping on me. I've realized that besides canines outside and cats inside we have another residents... flies. I hate flies. But cats love them. I don't know what's up with them but at early morning they lov
Say NO to the Internet PricesI've been observing a situation of the artist who courageously set up their prices on very decent prices (in meaning: no more 50 bucks full color image of yer characters! but almost 200$ one for her really nice character painting) where I felt so proud of her for being brave to set up the real price of the art. But I was also a witness of bunch of complaining people (mostly I noticed they were young) screaming that her art is not worth for shitload bucks.I really wanted to slap faces of these people.Really, who decide that someone's art is worth that price?You do not decide how much wort is my art - as my work.You do not know how much effort I've put into a piece, countless hours, stress, time, including also a years of practice and studies, frustration as well personal finances into the art materials.Do you think my art is a fun hobby?You do not decide if my art is a form of fun and what are real feelings with the artist while working on artwork as part of paid job.It's no more
Shattered GlassI've planned to submit my newest work as soon I've arrived on my destination, but now I don't know what to think or feel at the moment
I was on the train on my way to faraway mountains.My phone was ringing.An unexpected call.All what I remember after picking up is hearing these words: "he passed away".When you hear that someone close/important to you/you know/ect,, the time feels like has stopped. It becomes a feeling of eternity. That feeling is also similar to the feeling of love but it's on opposite side of mirror.Someone very important for me has left our world today at the morning.That feeling
. when you get a call that someone close to you got very ill or had car crash or was busted, you usually feel sad, so worried and have feeling of hope. Or you feel anger. That kind of anger like you want to blame society. Then you ask a lot of questions if everything will be alright with her or him. You feel many emotions from sadness, feeling sorry, being worried and anger. And so on
Schools/Courses (Important: to all USA residents)At the moment I won't write a full journal about it, with details, but I'm really looking forward for useful comments, suggestions and perhaps help. Yes, this time I'll be asking for you all guys for helpful advices- all of it will be about schools/colleges and education in general in USA- as potentially important step for my future. I never been to any school in states despite being a full USA citizen and it will be my first time- especially what my life has shown to me.Which I've been planning for many years and I've lost chance due to my illness.But for now, we'll start from this....Has anyone been/experienced or even heard about Gnomon School of Visual Effects?That's where I'm planning to attend, for one year Entertaiment design (pshh, yes secrectly i do a lot of digital art... just saying that I'm not absolute traditional.) and it's scheduled for 8th July.However that doesn't mean I'll go on 100% for sure (the final decision of booking will come in springtime) but perh

Before you throw that pity party read thisBeing in touch with your weaknesses is important in order to grow as an artist, but are you so hung up on what you can't do well that it's holding you back? I'm not talking about the intermittent (or frequent) attacks of complete blockage, or even lack of inspiration, but full out pity parties.I've seen far too many people on dA who post exercise after exercise, writing in the artist comments that once again they've failed, they've read hundreds of books, studied the masters for so many years, and they still cannot draw a photorealist rending of a man's head. First of all let me say that I highly respect "self taught" artists and I'm not discouraging anyone who chooses (or must) go that route. However, setting realistic goals and finding your niche is extremely important. Let me say this: not everyone will be able to paint like a Baroque period artist! But that doesn't mean you can't be a painter, it just means
Tomorrow, is the first blank page.......of a 365 page book. Write a good one.Every year is like a chapter of our lives.The object of a new year is not a celebration of a new year, nor having a new number displaying in our callendar but it is where we should have a new soul.To sit down and think over how to improve up our lives.Also is not a day to cry out loudly how our past year was unsuccessful and impatiently wait when it will be over, start a new, but to learn who we are and how we can move forward.I'm not here to wish a good New Year Eve since it's not the only day which will decide how our new year will be like
however what I truly wish you guys lots of joy for every day for this year, as well for next year- regardless what is the day or what's happening. Every day is a miracle and a proof of our existence.Smile to yourself while looking at your image reflected by mirror and don't be shy to say "I love you" to yourself. And lots of love to all livings forms, animals and nature and less interest to mater

NPR's Totenberg Parrots Lawyer's Claim Wal-Mart Arguing It's 'Too Big to Sue'
Greedy, deep-pocketed Wal-Mart went to the Supreme Court yesterday to argue it's "too big to sue."
That's the sort of rhetoric one might expect from Brad Seligman, one of the attorneys representing Christine Kwapnowski and a handful of other women who are suing Wal-Mart on the claim of gender discrimination.
Appearing with Kwapnowski on Tuesday's CBS "Early Show," Seligman used those words to deride Wal-Mart's argument about why the Supreme Court should not let his and numerous other discrimination suits across the country to be consolidated into a single class action case.
But yesterday some ostensibly objective journalists practically parroted the talking point as though it accurately reflected Wal-Mart's legal argument in the case Wal-Mart Stores Inc. v. Betty Dukes, et al.
Take Steve Inskeep and Nina Totenberg of NPR on yesterday's "Morning Edition" (emphasis mine):
STEVE INSKEEP, host: And I'm Steve Inskeep. Good morning.
Today, the United States Supreme Court takes on the biggest employment discrimination case in history. It involves one of the biggest retailers in history - Wal-Mart. Lawyers challenging the company say they represent one and a half million of Wal-Mart's current and former female workers. The justices will decide if Wal-Mart is too big to be sued in a single class action case. Here's NPR legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg.
NINA TOTENBERG: Everything about this case is too big, says Wal-Mart's lawyer, Ted Boutrous.
Mr. TED BOUTROUS (Attorney): They have brought a case that implicates 3,400 stores around the country, women at all different levels of the store, from the store managers to the entry level positions.
TOTENBERG: But lawyer Joseph Sellers, representing the women, counters that class actions were created to deal efficiently with large numbers of similar claims.
Mr. JOSEPH SELLERS (Attorney): The majority of the women in this class have held five jobs. These are cookie-cutter type jobs. So the fact that there may be multiple stores doesn't mean the jobs are any different.
But the "award-winning legal affairs correspondent" is twisting Boutrous's argument.
It's not that Wal-Mart is too big to be sued in a class action case, it's that discrimination claims are so incident- and store-specific that a class action case is neither logical nor conducive to the interests of justice.
As Boutrous himself argued much further in Totenberg's report (emphasis mine):
The plaintiffs swung for the fences here, and instead of seeking the normal kind of class action where you would bring it against a particular decision-maker or entity, they tried to come up with a theory that would allow them to ensnare major companies in these huge class actions that might cause them to be able to get a quick settlement.
Indeed, in the "question presented" document for the case available at the Supreme Court website, the Court notes that the 9th Circuit's "sharply divided 6-5 decision ... conflicts with many decisions of this Court and other circuits" when it "affirmed the certification of the largest employment class action in history."
If the Supreme Court doesn't reverse that decision, the class will include " every woman employed for any period of time over the past decade, in any of Wal-Mart's approximately 3,400 separately managed stores, 41 regions, and 400 districts, and who held positions in any of approximately 53 departments and 170 different job classifications," according to the court document.
What's more, as Totenberg admitted in her story, "one of the dissenting justices [sic], Sandra Ikuta, declar[ed]: Never before has such a low bar been set for certifying such a gargantuan class."
Despite these concessions, Totenberg closed her report with a parting soundbite by an attorney for the women rehashing his "too big to sue" meme followed by Totenberg suggesting the cards were unfairly stacked in favor of Wal-Mart:
Mr. SELLERS: There is no large company exception to the civil rights laws. So for Wal-Mart to contend that somehow this case is too big and that therefore it can't be pursued is to try to carve out an exception for it and other large companies from coverage under the civil rights laws.
TOTENBERG: It may be difficult, however, to sell that view to a Supreme Court majority that's widely viewed as business-friendly.

So Wal-Mart is saying justice
Submitted by MaximusBraveheart on Wed, 03/30/2011 - 1:45pm.
So Wal-Mart is saying justice would be served by suing the individual store and its manager while NPR is twisting that into "too big to sue." Wal-Mart's will prevail in this IMO based on sound logic. Each case is different and it is crazy to think all women got discriminated against by W-M. Yet NPR has to further inject its bias at the end to say don't be surprised if W-M wins because the court is biased.
I think my Dad should sue his employer. He trained many people, Ivy League women, who started out with about as much pay as my Dad, who had worked his way up their since the 1950's. I am certain they age discriminated against him... It is P&G, who may well be run by a bunch of Ivy League liberal progressives. I don't know but they sure seemed to love the elite degreed vs. "common" college grads.
-- Maximusbraveheart -- Is TRUTH knowable? Moral Relativism is the abandonment of Truth. Truth is knowable. Truth conforms to Reality. Reality is observable by evidence & witness in this day & from history. Relativism is Sesame Street play land.

text: Ok, so for the past couple days we've all heard the Bibby to RipCity after his Hawks buyout. Welllllll that just appears not to be happening. It looks like the LeBrons are going to release Carlos Arroyo to make room for him. We still have a roster spot. Is Arroyo someone we look at or do we roll with Patty Mills? I like Patty, but is anyone besides Paul Allen secure with him logging playoff minutes in crunch time?

Aroan Saha, a sixth grade student at Mendham Township Middle School, emerged victorious at the school-level competition of the National Geographic Bee last week.
The victory affords Saha a chance at a $25,000 college scholarship. Will Schumm, a seventh grader and Luke Seminara, a sixth grader placed second and third, respectively.
The school-level Bee, at which students answered oral questions on geography, was the first round in the 24th annual National Geographic Bee. This round of competition featured participants Stephanie Do, Lila Dunn, Mia Hedengren, Luke Potash, Filip Scasellati Sforzolini, Max Shrem and Joseph Tucker.
The kickoff for this year's Bee was the week of Nov. 12, 2012 with thousands of schools around the United States and in the five U.S. territories participating. The school winners, including Aroan Saha will now take a written test; up to 100 of the top scorers in each state will be eligible to compete in their state Bee in April.
The National Geographic Society will provide an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C., for state champions and teacher-escorts to participate in the National Geographic Bee national championship rounds May 20 -22, 2013. The first-place national winner will receive a $25,000 college scholarship and a lifetime membership in the Society.
Everyone can test their geography knowledge with the exciting GeoBee Challenge, a n online geography quiz at, which poses 10 new questions a day.
The National Geographic Society is the world's largest nonprofit scientific and educational organization. The 120-year-old Society reflects the world through magazines, books, maps, television and interactive media. National Geographic magazine, the official journal of the Society, has a circulation of about 10 million and is read in every country in the world.
Cathy Reilly, social studies teacher, organized the school Bee, which was sponsored by the National Geographic Society.

A lot of us are traveling this holiday season, and as we rush to get to the gates, we sometimes end up leaving things behind.
One of those things is money. Loose change left in the airport bins are adding up for the TSA. It turns out that passengers leave plenty of change behind at the security points, totaling to a whopping $465,000 over the last two years. The coins not claimed by passengers are supposed to pay for aviation security.
Instead of the TSA pocketing that money, a few politicians had another idea.
On Tuesday, the House voted to pass a bill that requires the money to be transferred to non-profit organizations. One of them is the United Service Organizations. The USO provides a ton of services to the nation's military service members and their families.
"There's a lot of families who don't have the ability to go to the store and buy what they need for their kids. Especially with our service members, I think that's so important. They are out fighting for our freedoms and their families don't have what they need back home." Bambi Watson, a military wife said.
The measure now heads to the senate.

Proper Ventilation And Allergy Remediation In A Green Home
Green homes will be amazing when it comes to ventilation. Responsive thermostats and web-enabled systems will let the house sense what quarter the wind comes from and open the right vents to catch it. The healthful use of wind power to clean the home and freshen the air will make green homes much more healthy. The air filters in green houses are more efficient than the filters in normal homes. By precisely controlling airflow the house stops a lot of particulate matter from getting into the ventilation system to begin with. The extreme efficiency of automated vacuuming systems also contributes to keeping the air clean.
This is extremely helpful to people with allergies and asthma. Other breathing problems are remediated by the constant supply of indoor fresh air, such as sleep apnea and bronchitis. The entire house will smell better, and there will never be pockets of "stale air" to build up harmful contaminants like radon. There will also not be as much mold to infect the atmosphere.
Green homes will contribute to livability in a lot of ways, but one of the most important will be the improvement of the air we breathe when we are indoors. Many of the health issues of the future will be solved by unfettered access to fresh air.

Meriden (AP) — Meriden police say they're investigating a home invasion in which armed suspects bound and gagged four victims and took two of them to Fairfield to rob a jewelry store.
Police say four or five men wearing masks and gloves bound and gagged with duct tape the victims at a home in Meriden Thursday. Authorities say two of the victims were taken blindfolded to Fairfield where the suspects robbed a jewelry store.
Meriden police say they're looking for a 2009 silver BMW bearing Massachusetts registration 96NV02. The vehicle belonged to one of the victims and was taken by the suspects from Meriden.
Police say the victims were unharmed and the identity of the suspects is unknown.
Meriden and Fairfield police are investigating.

2010 Progress Report
Representative scientific advances from the four research projects in the Penn Udall Center are highlighted below in excerpts taken from the complete progress report submitted to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).
The research projects are functional consequences in cognitive impairment, executive difficulty in Parkinson's dementia, animal models of Parkinson's disease, and interactions of protein aggregation of Parkinson's dementia.
The associated Cores (Administrative, Clinical and Education, Neuropathology and Genetics Core, and Data Management and Biostatistics) will continue to pursue their Aims and provide support for Projects 1-4.
Available Resources
The Penn Udall Center has a highly developed and integrated database that captures all of the clinical, genetic and neuropathological data that is collected. This database information is available to investigators from other Udall Centers, as well as to other investigators at PENN. In addition, the PENN Udall Center has reagents, tissue samples and DNA available for use by other investigators.
Project 1: Functional Consequences in Cognitive Impairment in PD
Andrew Siderowf, MD
We have continued to analyze data collected from Udall Core B participants to understand the relationship between cognitive impairment and daily function in PD patients. One study, showing that mild cognitive difficulties are associated with declines in daily function in non-demented as well as demented subjects, has been accepted for publication. A follow-up study showing that this relationship is much stronger in patients with more severe motor impairment is in preparation.
There has also been substantial progress in developing a new tool for measuring the impact of cognitive dysfunction on daily function in PD. We combined the Neuro-QOL "Adult Cognition Item Bank" group of 42 items with an additional 56 items developed through consultation with patients and expert clinicians to create a bank of 98 items that are currently being tested in phase II of this project. The survey is accessed through the Penn Udall Center website. We have conducted analyses on the first wave of respondents (patients = 193; caregivers = 113). This analysis has revealed several interesting findings.
- Mean response score for all items are more correlated with measures of cognitive impairment than motor impairment (0.45 vs 0.39).
- Correlation with cognitive impairment is slightly higher for non-NeuroQOL items (#43-98 r=0.46) than for items from the NeuroQOL adult cognition battery (#1-42; r=0.42).
- In preliminary factor analysis, there appears to be one dominant factor for both patients and caregivers. However,
- Factor structure differs substantially between patients and caregivers. These findings will require further analysis involving larger numbers of responses and careful matching of patients to caregivers.
Finally, a recent study showed that the CSF Aß42 cut point that is diagnostic for AD- based on studies done in the AD Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), is predictive of cognitive decline in PD (Siderowf et al). Moreover, we recently interrogated PD plasma samples with the Rules Based Medicine (RBM) panel of >150 analytes (including trophic factors, signaling molecules and cytokines) which showed that plasma levels of epidermal growth factor (EGF) correlate with cognition and risk for cognitive impairment (Chen-Plotkin et al). These RBM biomarker studies of PD and other neurodegenerative diseases were recently reviewed (Hu et al.) and plans are underway to confirm and extend these RBM studies in additional Udall subjects. Further, plasma RBM studies are in progress on ADNI subjects so there will be a rich database for teasing out biomarkers that are specific for cognitive impairment in PD versus other dementias (Hu et al).
Plans for the Coming Year - Project 1
To conduct psychometric evaluations of the new rating instrument, and to assess the validity of scores on the new instrument in a longitudinal cohort study.
Visit the information page for Project 1.
Project 2: Executive Difficulty in Parkinson's Dementia
Murray Grossman, MD
The results from the past year illustrate the specific cognitive deficits in PDD/DLB that are likely to interfere with activities of daily living. From a cognitive neuroscience perspective, they also point out the critical collaboration between executive and language resources that is necessary to optimize language functioning.
Plans for the Coming Year - Project 2
To assess the cognitive and neural basis for: 1) impaired script processing, 2) difficulty interpreting structurally ambiguous sentences and 3) impaired story narratives in mild PDD/DLB.
Visit the information page for Project 2.
Project 3: Models of Parkinson's Dementia
Virginia M-Y Lee, PhD
The studies from the past funding year advanced understanding of mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative synucleinopathies. Moreover, our novel cell-based models of synucleinopathies will be extremely useful for testing the alpha-syn "transmission" hypothesis and for establishing a cell-based assay for the identification of potential therapies for PD.
Plans for the Coming Year - Project 3
To test the following hypotheses: 1) that the presence of alpha-syn neuropathology in hippocampus, limbic system and other cortical areas distinguishes PD from PDD and DLB; 2) that the presence of tau and/or Aß lesions exacerbate the clinical phenotypes of movement disorder, dementia and other behavior abnormalities in PD, PDD and DLB; 3) that the presence of WT or mutant alpha-syn neuropathology in hippocampus, limbic system and other cortical areas in TG mouse models leads to cognitive impairments; and 4) that the regulated overexpression of tau or Aß precursor proteins (APP) which forms tau tangles or Aß plaques in WT and A53T alpha-syn mice developed in Aim 3, enhances cognitive impairments in these TG mice.
Visit the information page for Project 3.
Project 4: Interactions of Protein Aggregation in Parkinson's Dementia
Benoit Giasson, PhD
Findings from this past funding year support the notion that while both the location and hydrophobicity of protein segments are important elements that affect the propensity to form amyloid fibrils, the intrinsic ability of a polypeptide to structurally fold into amyloid is also critical. These findings provide important insights in the planning of therapeutic agents that may be capable of preventing alpha-syn amyloid formation.
Plans for the Coming Year - Project 4
To examine the hypotheses that: 1) the initiation of tau fibrillization by alpha-syn and the synergistic enhancement of tau and alpha-syn fibrillization requires specific domain interactions on both proteins and is modulated by specific amino acid residues and post-translation modifications in alpha-syn and tau; 2) minute quantities of amyloidogenic alpha-syn can initiate tau pathogenesis by investigating the biological and pathological consequences of alpha-syn and tau interaction in vivo using transgenic mice with pan-neuronal expression of wild-type tau and wild-type or A53T alpha-syn; and 3) some extracellular Aß peptide deposits can mediate intraneuronal aggregation of alpha-syn in transgenic mice and to determine the mechanism for this process.

The Zoning Board of Appeals voted through the final conditions for "Brookview Village" at their meeting Tuesday night.
The approval of conditions is the final step in the ZBA's approval of the 225 apartment units that will be placed off of Ames Street in an area in the middle of industrial and commercial developments that had previously been zoned commercial. It is being developed by the Gutierrez Company.
The final conditions included provisions for access by the fire department. The board also agreed to $675,000 in mitigation money to be paid to the city for the loss of the industrial and commercial use of the property. Half of the funds will be paid on the receipt of the permit of occupancy with the rest to be paid within six months later.
The board agreed to a proposal by Mayor Arthur Vigeant, City Council President Patricia Pope and Councilor Joseph Delano to put the money into one fund rather than be doled out to individual departments.
"I like the mayor's proposal," said ZBA Member Mitchell Gorka.
At the opening of the meeting, ZBA Member Jay Whittaker who was brought on to replace two members who had resigned following the approval of the proposal, spoke out against how the apartment complex came to the board. He said that he has no problems with the property, but would not have voted for it because it was brought forward as a 40B project and did not go through the regular approval process.
"I believe very strongly you submitted a 40B was to circumvent the normal process," he said. "I have no issue, but I want you to know I think what you did is wrong."
The conditions were sent to the city's attorney to be reviewed.

Style Map
Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
While Britons continue to try and stir a style war between France's Carla Bruni-Sarkozy and their own Samantha Cameron (a.k.a. "SamCam," a.k.a. wife of Tory leader David Cameron), the contested issue of who is wearing the Jackie O shift better seems overshadowed by the more interesting issue of the two women's collective hairstyle of choice—or at least we think so. Behold the short-bangs ubiquity on both sides of the Channel. While marveling at how political better halves in Europe seem to favor the easy, brushed-forward fringe, we couldn't help but notice our own political pool's preference for the side sweep. Michelle and Cindy continually choose the conservative style over the easier, more playful tendencies of their transatlantic counterparts. What does it all mean? Americans are in fact stodgier than the French and the British and perhaps not ready to accept any derivation of hipster hair in the White House? Probably. Or else the divergence can be used as yet another interpretation of Sarah Palin's continually discussed hairstyle, which seems to favor the Continent more than her mistrust of passport holders might lead you to believe. Discussion encouraged.

Zen Micro - "No License to Play"
Had my first issue with the Zen Micro / Napster To Go combo today. Suddenly many of my Napster downloaded files refused to play, citing "No Licence to Play, please sync with PC". Brilliant. So I tried to sync with the PC, but no luck, seemingly the licenses didn't copy over correctly.
I kind of blame the Zen Micro for this. I use the 2.10.5 firmware, the only one that is compatible with Napster To Go. It is in BETA. :( Well, hopefully Creative sorts this out. It will be more than a bit annoying.
Solution; delete all DRM files from the device and copy them across once more. A new license will be issued for the next two weeks (?) and you are back on the road. Naturally, with a 1" HDD inside this takes a while...Posted by ludvig at February 26, 2005 11:20 PM | TrackBack
Have the same problem...seemingly every 3 or 4 days have to totally remove all songs from the device and reinstall. Problem, however, is that each time I do this I lose more songs, because of the DRM downloads allowed in a month.
iTunes + iPod = $10,000
napstertogo + Zen Micro = HEADACHES!
Hi am having the same problem how do you Delete the DRM downloads ??Posted by: Ray at March 4, 2005 11:13 PM
Ray; what I did was to use Media Player 10 as the synchronization application. There is a Playlist defined in the Sync section which is called Napster Downloads.
- First add this to the sync list.
- Sync. Media Player will detect that it is already on the player.
- Remove from sync list.
- Sync. Files will be deleted.
- Add to sync list.
- Sync. New copies will be copied to the player and with that also new licenses.
Good luck!
LarsPosted by: ludvig at March 5, 2005 12:37 AM
I finally returned my Micro yesterday for this issue. Today they released a firmware update (beta) that fixes it. Search "licence issue" in Creatives forum. I really liked the Micro much better than the iriver Iswitched to, so I suppose I'll switch back....Posted by: Alan at March 10, 2005 11:41 PM

Yes, it is a bit harder to cut through the middle inserts, and you have to slow down and be a bit more careful when cutting through them. Wear eye protection.
