Graphic Designer Directory and Designer Portfolios - Now Live!
Created by
Saturday, June 05, 2010
*Drum roll* ... the DC team is extremely proud to unveil brand new
graphic designer directory
We have launched directories for each of our product categories. Here are some examples:
Graphic designers
Logo designers
Web page designers
etc etc etc ...
We also have directories for countries. Here's a few examples:
Graphic design Australia
Graphic design Romania
Graphic design Phillipines
etc etc etc ...
Logo design UK
Web design India
Icon design Canada
In summary, these new directories are extensive and awesome - but wait, there's more (read below) ...
'Top Designer' Rankings
Another important note - all designers are ranked in each directory and these rankings will now be updated every few days!
So what you say? Well, if you combine this ranking system with our brand new
designer paid invite system
it means the higher your ranking, the more you will earn!
For example, if someone googles 'logo design uk' they will, hopefully, come across our
Logo Design UK
directory. After browsing designers they may select their favourite (for example 'pixelcloud' a freelance designer from Bristol UK) and click the 'invite to project button' (see screenshot below). The customer will be prompted to post a project on DesignCrowd - once done, 'pixelcloud' would then receive an invitation to participate on the project
Designer portfolios
Designer profiles have also been updated - nay, I lie - they've been overhauled and pimped.
Here are some of the new features:
Larger designs for better viewing
Information on skillsets
Ability to invite designers to projects
Sub portfolios (i.e. ability to view designs by industry / type of design)
New beautiful client / human / google friendly URLs for each designer portfolio
Promote yo'self fool!
The key take-away from this post for every designer is this: find your ranking / porfolio on DesignCrowd and promote it!
If you're in the top 10
Logo Designers Romania
then put a link to this page on your own website / blog . If you know a lawyer who needs a website - post a link to your lawyer web page portfolio on DesignCrowd! They will visit, other people will see the links, people will share the links and you will win more work, clients and payments!
Want some changes? Got ideas? Great!
We hope you like these new features but if you have further ideas or feedback hit us up on

Crime Free Multi-Housing Program
Crime Free Multi-Housing Programs are innovative, law enforcement based crime prevention solutions designed to help keep illegal activity off rental property. The programs were developed by the Mesa Arizona Police Department in 1992. The International Crime Free Programs have been extremely successful in nearly 2,000 cities in 44 U.S. states and ten other countries.
The Crime Free Multi-Housing Program consists of three phases that are completed under the supervision of local law enforcement. The cornerstone of the Crime Free Program is the partnership between law enforcement and the community working to prevent crime. Property owners and managers make the commitment to apply the Crime Free Program in an effort to keep illegal activity off their rental property. This combination of resources has proven to have positive, long-term effects in fighting crime. Property managers can become individually certified after completion of the training phase, while the physical property itself can only be certified upon completion of all three phases. The anticipated long term benefits of a fully certified property are reduced crime, a more stable resident base, and reduced exposure to civil liability.
The Police Department is in the process of implementing the Crime Free Multi-Housing Program, which addresses apartment communities. The program coordinator is Officer Brandi Perkins, who can be reached at 817 222-7198 or by filling out this contact form (select Brandi Perkins under Investigative Services division).
Congratulations to the following apartment communities for completing Phase One of the Crime Free Multi-Housing Program (March 2012).
Haltom Oaks, Club at Springlake, Lakeview, Cornerstone, The Woods of Haltom, Fossil Ridge, Desert Sands, Oaks at Jane Lane, Fairway on the Park, Rio Vista, Fossil Hill, Spanish Square, Haltom Housing Authority, Springdale, Layton Manor, Springlake, North Hills Crest, Warren Inn, Fossil Hill, Bellagio and White Creek Estates.

Strikeforce women's champion Ronda Rousey is featured on the cover of ESPN The Magazine's "Body Issue" which hits newsstands July 13th. Rousey is one of 27 athletes featured in the magazine's online photo gallery which is online now.
Previous MMA fighters featured in the issue include UFC Light Heavyweight champ Jon Jones, Gina Carano, and Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos and his wife Cristiane "Cyrborg" Santos.
Rousey won the Strikeforce title in March of this year by beating Meisha Tate by first round armbar submission. She is scheduled to defend her title against Sarah Kaufman at Strikeforce: Rousey vs. Kaufman on August 18 in San Diego. The bout will air on Showtime.
Rousey was an Olympic bronze medal winner in Judo at the 2008 Olympics. She is easily the highest profile fighter currently in Strikeforce.
After the jump we've got a 1:45 behind the scenes of Rousey working with photographer Peggy Sirota to do the photo shoot.

So it's Tuesday morning following week one and your team of sure fire all-stars has probably either sustained an injury, or isn't all that good (let's assume it's option one). Here's a look at some of the surprises from week one that could be primed for repeat performances in week two and beyond, as you race to the waiver wire; week one.
Get them if you can:
Julius Thomas, TE, Denver Broncos: 54% owned in Yahoo!
- 110 yards and two scores
- Next three games: @Giants, vs Raiders, vs Eagles
Dallas Clark, TE, Baltimore Ravens: 5% owned in Yahoo!
- 87 yards
- Next three games: vs Browns, vs Texans, @Bills
- Likely to be a consolation prize for those who can't snag Thomas, Clark appears to have stolen the starting job away from Ed Dickson in Dennis Pitta's absence. He played poorly and still had a dozen targets, if he comes around that number of looks his way will pay off.
Joique Bell, RB, Detroit Lions: 32% owned in Yahoo!
- 25 rushing yards, two touchdowns, 67 receiving yards
- Next three games: @Cardinals, @Redskins, vs Bears
- He's passed Mikel Leshoure on the depth chart already, and with Reggie Bush's injury concerns he should only see a larger role moving forward.
Terrelle Pryor, QB, Oakland Raiders: 11% owned in Yahoo!
- 217 passing yards, one touchdown, two interceptions
- 112 rushing yards, 8.6 average
- Sunday's top rusher
- Next three games: vs Jaguars, @Broncos, vs Redskins
- Arguably only one of these three look like a good play, but a good follow up performance at home against Jacksonville would certainly make a case for him being in your lineup for the other two.
Nothing wrong with these guys:
Harry Douglas, WR, Atlanta Falcons: 1% owned in Yahoo!
- 93 yards
- Next three games: vs Rams, @Dolphins, vs Patriots
- Played on 45 of 56 offensive snaps against New Orleans
- Roddy White has a high ankle sprain…
- Matty Ice loves Douglas. He's long been one of the Falcons prime targets on third and fourth down plays, and is about as reliable as they come for a WR3. Some increased playing time in White's absence could see him establish himself as much more than that.
Marlon Brown, WR, Baltimore Ravens: 4% owned in Yahoo!
- 66 yards and a touchdown
- Next three games: vs Browns, vs Texans, @Bills
- With Jacoby Jones out at least 4-6 weeks, Brown immediately inherited the WR2 spot across the field from Torrey Smith. If week one was any indication, he may make it hard for Jones to get his job back once he returns.
Robert Woods, WR, Buffalo Bills: 8% owned in Yahoo!
- 18 yards, one touchdown
- Next three games: vs Panthers, @Jets, vs Ravens
- Woods only received two targets on Sunday, catching just one. The score is a positive sign, he's definitely the most valuable Bills rookie in fantasy.
Andre Roberts, WR, Arizona Cardinals: 21% owned in Yahoo!
- 97 yards
- Next three games: vs Lions, @Saints, @Bucs
- The Cardinals are going to pass the ball. A lot. With every defender on the field trying to cover Larry Fitzgerald, the fantasy value of the other receivers in Arizona is sure to climb.
Jerome Simpson, WR, Minnesota Vikings: 3% owned in Yahoo!
- 140 yards
- Next three games: @Bears, vs Browns, vs Steelers
- This is likely an anomaly, but he did lead the Vikings in targets and receptions. With Greg Jennings getting most of the coverage Adrian Peterson doesn't draw, it'll be between Simpson and rookie Cordarrelle Patterson to hold onto the WR2 job.
Rueben Randle, WR, New York Giants: 48% owned in Yahoo!
- 101 yards
- Next three games: vs Broncos, @Panthers, @Chiefs
- Noone is set to gain more from David Wilson's failure than Randle. A lack of a run game for the G-Men means Eli Manning could end up throwing the ball 42 times a week…or more. With Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz bound to see most of those looks, the more Manning throws, the more that will go to Randle.
Tyler Eifert, TE, Cincinnati Bengals: 21% owned in Yahoo!
- 47 yards
- Next three games: vs Steelers, vs Packers, @Browns
- The rookie works with fellow TE Jermaine Gresham as the Bengals 3A and 3B options behind AJ Green and AJ Green. While neither one is guaranteed to separate themself from the other, this was certainly a good first game for the first round pick, especially in a loss.
Brent Celek, TE, Philadelphia Eagles: 20% owned in Yahoo!
- 56 yards, one touchdown
- Next three games: vs Chargers, vs Chiefs, @Broncos
- Ol' Mr. Reliable seems set to benefit from a lack of Jeremy Maclin in Philadelphia.
Kellen Winslow Jr., TE, New York Jets: 4% owned in Yahoo!
- 79 yards, one touchdown
- Next three games: @Patriots, vs Bills, @Titans
- Rookie QBs love veteran tight ends. As long as Geno Smith runs the Jets' offense, Winslow Jr. is a decent play, especially with at least two favourable matchups in his next three games.
Worth a look:
Julian Edelman, WR, New England Patriots: 23% owned in Yahoo!
- 79 yards and two touchdowns
- Next three games: vs Jets, vs Bucs, @Falcons
- With Tom Brady ignoring Zach Sudfeld in week one, and Danny Amendola likely to wear a trench between the sideline and the lockerroom all year long, Edelman could be in for big time success this season, at least until Gronkowski returns.
Terrance Williams, WR, Dallas Cowboys: 1% owned in Yahoo!
- 32 yards
- Next three games: @Chiefs, vs Rams, @Chargers
- You're going to want to see a few more (and better) performances before you make the claim on Williams, but with Dez Bryant being shutdown the 'Boys could use more three receiver sets and therefore creating an opening for Williams.
Nate Burleson, WR, Detroit Lions: 5% owned in Yahoo!
- 78 yards
- Next three games: @Cardinals, @Redskins, vs Bears
- How effective Burleson is will depend on how healthy Ryan Broyles is. He may be worth the add in the event Broyles knee injury lingers. Whoever is across from Johnson is bound to succeed.
Eddie Royal, WR, San Diego Chargers: 2% owned in Yahoo!
- 24 yards, two scores
- Next three games: @Eagles, @Titans, vs Cowboys
- Before the Chargers gave up 28 unanswered points and lost to the Texans, Royal was going to be a key piece in their upset victory. He still only had three total receptions, and still plays for the Chargers.
EJ Manuel, QB, Buffalo Bills: 19% owned in Yahoo!
- 150 passing yards, two touchdowns, 23 rushing yards
- Next three games: vs Panthers, @Jets, vs Ravens
- While Terrelle Pryor looked more impressive and Geno Smith picked up a win, Manuel had himself a decent day in a tough matchup. Wait him out, but keep an eye on how he does against two bad teams in Carolina and the J-E-T-S.
If you drafted David Wilson in the top three rounds you can:
A. Give up
B. Cry while staring at the draft results
C. Cry to your commissioner and ask for your money back (cite the death of a semi-close family member as the reason for your wanting out)
D. Cry while putting in a claim for one of these guys:
Da'Rel Scott, RB, New York Giants: 3% owned in Yahoo!
- 23 rushing yards, 51 receiving yards
- Next three games: vs Broncos, @Panthers, @Chiefs
- While he's a longshot to inherit Wilson's job, he is the in-house option. He certainly didn't steal the job off his performance in week one, but it set a standard for a free agent vet to top.
Willis McGahee, RB, FA: 5% owned
- McGahee already has a tryout set for Tuesday with the Giants. Before breaking his leg and tearing his MCL, McGahee was averaging over four yards per carry with 731 yards and 4 touchdowns in 10 weeks with the Broncos. It'll depend on how well he has overcome those injuries.
Brandon Jacobs, RB, FA: 0% owned
- The former Giant also has a workout on Tuesday. Jacobs spent seven years in New York, but was a total non-factor last year in San Francisco.
Also look out for: Beanie Wells, Tim Hightower, Michael Turner, Tiki Barber, Jerome Bettis, your next door neighbour.

LEVELLAND, TX (KCBD) - South Plains College has been awarded a five-year $2.87 million federal grant from the U.S. Department of Education to develop three new high demand technical and health occupations associate degree programs.
The grant project, titled "Strengthening High-Demand Technical/Health Occupations Programs," was awarded from the Office of Postsecondary Education's Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions Program (Title V HSI).
The grant will enable SPC to develop, pilot and implement new associate degree programs in alternative energy technology (wind/solar), physical therapy assistant and engineering technology and expand its delivery of high demand training to its Plainview Extension Center.
SPC officials received notification of the grant from U.S. Congressman Randy Neugebauer, as well as Department of Education program officials.
"I am pleased that South Plains College is the recipient of the Title V grant that will enhance and expand their workforce development and technological training programs," said Neugebauer. "During these difficult economic times, it is even more important that we invest in technical training programs that will train and re-train individuals with skills to advance their careers and provide new academic and technical opportunities."
The award is the single largest competitive grant ever received by SPC. A total of 24 individual grants and five cooperative arrangement grants were awarded in this competition. SPC will receive $574,767 in the first year of the award.
The project will enable SPC to develop the new associate degree programs over the next five years, beginning with a new alternative energy specialization that will focus on both wind and solar energy technology. This program will be developed at the SPC Reese Center, and will be an offshoot of SPC's industrial manufacturing program. Grant funds will be used to remodel and equip new training labs.
SPC also elected to participate in the endowment option in the Title V HSI program and will be seeking to raise $278,000 in endowment funds over the next five years that will be matched by the grant program. The endowment will provide scholarships and program support for the newly established technical programs.

Brain Scientist & President/CEO Of Brain Engineering Labs, Dr. Cheri Florance, Appoints Simply The Best PR As Agency Of Record
BOCA RATON, Fla. , Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Brain Engineering Labs and Cheri Florance, Ph.D., ( www.cheriflorance.com) who helps enhance the lives and sharpen the skills of children and adults diagnosed with symptoms of Autism Spectrum, ADD, PDD, and other disorders of communication, announced today that she has hired Simply the Best Public Relations ( www.simplythebestpublicrelations.com) as her PR firm of record. Guided by her own son, who, shortly after birth, was diagnosed as deaf, autistic, and severely mentally disabled, Dr. Florance developed a program designed to help him become symptom-free. Led by her maternal instinct and her vast knowledge of brain science, she founded Brain Engineering Labs, and today Dr. Florance and her team of professionals work with families around the globe to correctly diagnose and effectively treat Maverick Minds. Florence's son is not autistic and is now a successful chemical engineer.
"Our publicity will bring mass attention to the great work that Dr. Florance and Brain Engineering Labs is doing with tremendous success," states Kim Morgan, President of Simply the Best PR. "Along with the testimonials from adults and parents of children who were misdiagnosed with autism and ADD, our national campaigns will highlight the extraordinary achievements and ground-breaking work of Dr. Cheri Florance and Brain Engineer Labs."
Brain Engineering Labs teaches a 5-step training program that uses the strong visual brain to repair the weak or unreliable verbal brain. In the children's program, Dr. Florance develops individualized plans that teach attention, memory, listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. The work with children starts in the home, and is subsequently transferred to school and social settings.
In the adult's program, a custom-built plan that can be re-designed based on daily progress is created. Adult Brain Engineering programs help sharpen and retain brain functionality, help those who need to perform better on standardized tests and help executives perform and communicate better in the workplace.

TUESDAY, Sept. 10 (HealthDay News) -- A drug already used to treat advanced breast cancer also appears to shrink early stage breast tumors, potentially offering women a first-of-its-kind treatment option, U.S. health regulators say.
If approved to treat early stage cancers, the drug, Perjeta, might result in less invasive surgical treatment for women with HER2-positive early stage breast cancer, Bloomberg News reported Tuesday.
In that role, Perjeta (pertuzumab) would be the first cancer-fighting drug approved as a neoadjuvant (first step) breast cancer therapy in the United States, the news agency said.
A U.S. Food and Drug Administration report posted online Tuesday by FDA staff members said the drug looks promising in trials. However, the report also said drug-related cardiac concerns will require additional research. A meeting is scheduled for Thursday to discuss the drug's merits.
Cancer specialists welcomed the news.
"This is tremendously exciting," said Dr. Amy Tiersten, associate professor in the division of hematology and medical oncology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City.
"Pertuzumab was FDA approved in 2012 for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer [cancer that has spread to other parts of the body] when it was shown that it improved survival when added to standard regimens for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer," Tiersten explained.
"But the really exciting information is when this can be translated into earlier stages of disease, where we can completely eradicate the disease and cure more women," said Tiersten.
The trial under discussion shows that when pertuzumab is added to standard pre-surgical regimens for HER2-positive breast cancer the chance of finding no cancer after this treatment is nearly doubled, Tiersten said.
Women who have chemotherapy before surgery and who achieve complete remission -- no cancer at the time of breast surgery -- have a much greater chance of being completely cured of their disease, she said.
Dr. Aye Moe Thu Ma, attending physician in breast surgical oncology with St. Luke's and Roosevelt Hospitals in New York City, also voiced enthusiasm.
"We currently have limited options for neoadjuvant treatment of breast cancer," she said. "I'm excited that this may provide a more specific treatment for people with HER2-positive cancer. Although survival advantage has not been documented for patients who received neoadjuvant therapy over adjuvant therapy, if neoadjuvant therapy is effective, more patients can have breast preservation surgery."
This means women can keep their breasts because the tumor size is reduced, and some women may prefer this, she said.
Roche's Genentech unit is hoping for accelerated approval of Perjeta. The FDA can expedite approval for groundbreaking drugs as long as the drug maker pursues more research to show that the medication prolongs disease-free survival.
Genentech estimates about 15,000 women with HER2-positive early stage breast cancer could receive early treatment with Perjeta each year, Bloomberg reported.
Both short- and long-term side effects will need to be examined to fully evaluate risks and benefits of this medication if it is approved, Ma added.
Pertuzumab is one of many newer biologic agents used to treat breast cancer. "These biologic or 'targeted' treatments work on breast cancer cells in a more specific way than some older treatments so that there are many fewer casualties to normal cells translating into many fewer side effects for our patients," Tiersten said.
It's a "win-win situation," Tiersten said.
About one in eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her lifetime.
According to the Mayo Clinic, HER2-positive breast cancer is a breast cancer driven by a protein called human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), which promotes the growth of cancer cells.
HER2-positive breast cancers are typically more aggressive than other types of breast cancer. But there are effective drug treatments, including trastuzumab (Herceptin) and lapatinib (Tykerb). Both drugs can produce side effects, including congestive heart failure, the Mayo Clinic said.

When did Paul get another USB oscilloscope? Maybe I haven't read a PSU review in a while but I just remember the pictures of the analag unit...
My first cheap Chinese USB scope blew up so I went back to the analogue and photographed the screen. I now have a good quality Fluke 105 Scopemeter with an optically isolated USB lead and software, much better!

the only complaint is one that this PSU has, the "semi" modular cables..
even with only 1 plugged in extra for my HDD's there are easily 3 extra cables that are never and haven't been used and have to be tucked.. when i bought it i figured modular meant modular.. but they meant semi-modular!
great review paul!

|U.S. should admit Levinson worked for CIA: family
TEHRAN – The family of Bob Levinson, the retired FBI agent, who reportedly went missing in Iran nearly seven years ago, has said that it is time for the U.S. government to lay out the facts about his case.
The Associated Press and the Washington Post reported in December 2013 that Levinson was working for the CIA and that he was on an unauthorized mission on the Iranian Kish Island in 2007.
Iran says it has been cooperating with attempts to learn Levinson's fate.
Levinson's family has long known he worked for the CIA, a fact they once feared disclosing because the U.S. government told them it could put Levinson in even more jeopardy.
Members of Levinson's family offered the revelation in an interview with CNN on Tuesday, in which they accused the U.S. government of failing to do enough to find him.
"I hope they are hearing our request that (U.S. government officials) acknowledge what he was doing over there and they understand that the family does want this acknowledged now," the missing man's son, Dan Levinson, said. "And we think it would be more of a positive step to getting him home."
U.S. officials have consistently denied publicly that Levinson was working for the government.
At the same time, they have repeatedly insisted finding him and bringing him home is a "top" priority.
"We obviously stand with the family who are the ones who live with every single day that their husband or their father isn't home with them," U.S. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said. "So we are using every tool at our disposal to help bring him home to his family. We can't, obviously, talk about those."
White House officials have said they believe any recognition Levinson worked for the U.S. government is counterproductive.
But Dan Levinson said the family believes getting his father's work history out into the open gives them the best chance of reuniting with him once again.
His situation gained renewed urgency in December, when the Associated Press and the Washington Post reported that he was working as an independent CIA contractor when he disappeared.
The CNN interview was the Levinson family's first since these news reports publicly revealed the retired FBI agent was working as a CIA contractor at the time of his disappearance.
The family's attorney, David McGee, said documents show "without a shadow of a doubt" that Levinson was a contract CIA operative who traveled extensively overseas recruiting and interviewing sources. One detail provided Tuesday to CNN includes an e-mail the family said was sent by Levinson to CIA officials.
The family said the CIA at first lied to them about the trip.
But after the family's lawyer discovered documents, including e-mails between Levinson and his handlers, the family said the CIA admitted Levinson was working undercover in Iran. Eventually, three CIA employees -- including Levinson's handler -- were fired and seven others disciplined in connection with the case. The CIA paid the family $2.5 million to avoid a lawsuit, McGee told CNN.
The Justice Department is still investigating the CIA with an eye toward possible obstruction charges involving allegations that officials lied to the Senate Intelligence Committee about Levinson's status.
Levinson's wife, Christine Levinson, said the FBI is working the case hard, but the government overall should be doing more.

However, those who start self-harming as young adults will have often experienced mental health problems as adolescents, such as anxiety or depression, which should be treated.The study by Dr Paul Moran at the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London, and Professor George C Patton from Centre for Adolescent Health at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute, Melbourne, Australia was published today in The Lancet and found that around 1 in 12 young people self-harm as adolescents, with the balance skewed towards girls. Self-harm is a global health problem and is especially common among 15–24 year old women, a group in whom rates of serious self-harm seem to be rising. In this study, the authors followed a sample of young people from Victoria, Australia from adolescence (14-15 years old) to young adulthood (28-29 years old) between 1992 and 2008. The study is the first population-based study to chart in detail the course of self-harm from adolescence to young adulthood.

About Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is a lifestyle disease, often with a genetic component. Being overweight, unfit, and eating poorly are risk factors. Certain ethnic communities are more susceptible to type 2 diabetes, as are some families.
Physical activity and formal exercise, along with a healthy diet and watching your weight, can help to prevent type 2 diabetes, and help those who have the condition to manage it. Expert organizations such as the American Diabetes Association have confirmed this, and both weight and strength training can be important parts of an exercise program in this prevention strategy.
Type 2 diabetes is a disease characterized by abnormally high blood glucose that results from insufficient insulin (the glucose-storage hormone), or insulin's not working well enough. Diabetes can cause further problems if not treated, progressing to heart and artery disease, as well as nerve damage.
Type 2 diabetes usually occurs in adults. Type 1 diabetes, previously called juvenile diabetes, usually shows up in young children and is not initially related to lifestyle. Even so, aspects of physical conditioning can assist all diabetics in some way.
Fitness and Function
Physical fitness, of which weight training should be a part, improves heart and lung fitness, and normalizes the metabolism along with the other known benefits for strength, muscle, flexibility and physical function.
Muscle and Strength
While strength enhancement improves quality of life in sedentary people, muscle development not only improves strength, but crucially extra muscle means increased storage for glucose in the form of glycogen. Glucose, which is problematically high in the bloodstream in type 2 diabetics, is stored in muscle and the liver. Enhancing the efficiency of this process can help diabetics.
(Interestingly, aerobic fitness will increase liver storage of glucose as well.)
Glucose and Insulin
As well as increasing storage depots for glucose, weight training (and fitness in general) improves the function of insulin. In diabetics, insulin function degrades and cannot get glucose across to storage in muscle and liver efficiently. Eventually, insulin production can decline, requiring a person to inject insulin to replace that function.
Resistance training has been shown to improve the efficiency of insulin function.
Weight Loss
A regular exercise workout is an essential part of most weight loss programs. For diabetics, weight training exercise not only helps improve glucose and insulin function, but assists with weight loss, which also helps improve glucose and insulin function. It's no wonder that combining exercise and weight loss (and healthy eating) is such a potent tool in arresting the progression of diabetes.
Heart and Blood Pressure
Exercise and physical activity are potent regulators of all-around heart and lung fitness, including blood pressure. The higher the level of fitness, as measured by easily-measured parameters such as blood pressure and resting heart rate, the less likely diabetes is to occur or progress, except in circumstances where genetic or other factors are involved.
In earlier years, it was thought that resistance exercise might raise blood pressure — as it does intermittently during exercise execution — but the overall effect is to lower blood pressure as physical fitness improves.
Note: Diabetics should only undertake exercise programs with the approval of their doctor. In addition, type 1 diabetics and insulin-using type 2 diabetics may need to adjust their insulin dose with some exercise programs.
Types of Exercise
In a consensus statement, the American Diabetes Association has recommended:
- For people with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each week, including aerobic exercise and weight training.
- Performing 4 hours/week of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic and/or resistance exercise physical activity is associated with greater CVD (cardiovascular disease) risk reduction compared with lower volumes of activity.
- In the absence of contraindications, people with type 2 diabetes should be encouraged to perform resistance exercise three times a week, targeting all major muscle groups, progressing to three sets of 8–10 repetitions at a weight that cannot be lifted more than 8–10 times (8–10 RM).

Hey Titans fans. I just completed my most recent mock over at TurfShowTimes, your brother SBNation blog for the Rams. Feel free to stop by and tell me why I'm wrong, or really wrong or even "I will look for stuff you write just to remind you how wrong your mock was" wrong.
I'd really like to hear from you guys what you think about the QB position. Will you ever be able to make Vince Young your starter again? If not, does he have enough trade value to move him? Do you need to draft a QB this year with the futures of Young & Kerry Collins looming over your franchise? Stop by and let me know.

News: T.I. Reacts To Shawty Lo's "All My Babies' Mamas" Drama
Tuesday, Jan 29, 2013 9:48AM
Grammy-winning rapper T.I. has offered a take on the controversy surrounding one-time rap foe Shawty Lo and his recently shelved "All My Babies' Mamas" television special.
In Tip's opinion, the decision should come down to Shawty and how his family feels about their lives being placed on full display.
"I don't think I'm justified to really speak on it, man. That's not my family. That's his life and his story to tell. If he's willing to tell it and the people are willing to watch it that's between them. I think that should be left up to him and the people who it effects the most, his family. If they're cool with it...that's what should be on everybody's mind." (The Urban Daily)
Earlier this month, Lo pleaded with fans to rally behind him and get "All My Babies' Mamas" back on the Oyxgen network.
"Yeah I really understand. They have the right to think that, but at least give the show a chance, to see what's goin' on," Shawty said in an interview in response to the show's backlash. "They makin' their assumptions off a 13-minute trailer and this like the biggest news around the world right now and it's unbelievable. ... The show wasn't about, we finna be fightin'. My show is not about no negative; it's a positive. But if they wanna see the show, sign a petition." (Hot 107.9)
Days prior, confirmation on the family-oriented network pulling the show's plug surfaced.
"As part of our development process, we have reviewed casting and decided not to move forward with the special," a network spokesperson told MTV News in a written statement on Tuesday (January 15). "We will continue to develop compelling content that resonates with our young female viewers and drives the cultural conversation." (MTV)
Back in 2010, Shawty spoke on his short-lived rap beef with Tip.
"At the time it was a real beef, but folks thought I had started it but if people were to know the history of it, all my songs like 'Dey Know,' they were out before the beef started. Them songs became hits before the T.I./Shawty Lo beef emerged so you know, it just blowed up in the streets like that. Free T.I. and you know, it was never no riding anybody's coattails because I'm not that type of person. I don't like to beef with nobody, it just happened to be a beef at the time."

CASA GRANDE, Ariz. (AP) - The candidates running for Arizona's 1st Congressional District squared off at a candidate forum in Casa Grande on Thursday night.
Republican Jonathan Paton attacked his main opponent, Democrat Ann Kirkpatrick, for supporting the federal Affordable Care Act.
Kirkpatrick, meanwhile, knocked Paton for having lived most of his life outside the newly-redrawn district, which extends from the northern outskirts of Tucson on the south to the Arizona-Utah line on the north.
Kirkpatrick held the congressional seat for one term before being defeated in 2010 by current Rep. Paul Gosar, who is seeking re-election in a neighboring district.
Paton is a former state legislator who ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 2010.
The Casa Grande Dispatch reports about 300 people attended the event, which also featured Libertarian candidate Kim Allen.

Exposure Settings for iPhone 4s?
Hey everyone,
I've had my iPhone 4s for a few weeks now, and I'm really enjoying it. I've been trying to get the most out of the great camera and have gotten a couple of really cool camera apps (Camera+ and DMD). What I'd like to know from the Verge Hivemind is if there is a way to modify the exposure on the iPhone. I haven't found an option to change yet in any of the apps that I have now, and I don't even know if it is even possible to change it.
Do you guys and gals know of any photo apps that will allow me to control exposure? Or do you know of a setting in one of my previously mentioned camera apps that will help me with this?
Thanks in advance for the help!

I've long been intrigued with the idea of selling or trading small bits of time. Back when I was doing LaunchPad Coworking, I wanted to have a BrainBank for members. The idea was you could deposit x of your own hours, and withdraw hours to get time with people with whom you wanted time.
And after running the hugely successful Room For Improvement at BlogathonATX, I've been thinking more and more about how to monetize brief, info-packed consulting sessions that lots of people hope they can get for free over lunch. In fact, I'm about to launch a "Pick My Brain" experiment to do just that.
When a friend introduced me to Allthis a few weeks ago, I thought "Cool! Someone's figured out how to do this on a grand scale!" They were boasting something like 600,000,000 "members," whose time you could buy, and I wondered just how this site had managed to escape my notice. Mashable gave Allthis a nice writeup in October, and seemed quite oblivious to the sleaze factor.
Back then, you could look around at profiles to see how much their time was going for. There were all sorts of luminaries listed — Mark Zuckerberg, Esther Dyson, Larry Ellison, Kathy Sierra… Right then, something felt wrong about the site. I read the "how it works" section, but couldn't find anything that explained how or why any of these people would agree to chat with some random person for 10 minutes.
Well, it turns out they wouldn't. And some of them are pissed off.
Rob Beschizza of BoingBoing posted a short, indignant post telling Allthis to knock it off. He explains exactly what his experience was in the comments.
Amy Hoy of Unicorn Free is says Allthis is "at best, copyright infringement, and at worse, fraud." And Joel Houseman focuses on the copyright issues surrounding scraping public info in his post, "This Week in Douchbaggery: Allthis".
Is fraud really what's going on here? Is what they're doing all that much different than other sites? There are all sorts of "profile" sites I seem to be listed on that I never signed up for — Intellius, PeekYou, BusinessCard2 seem to have found their way onto the first couple pages of search results for my name. And there are new ones sprouting up all the time.
Hell, Facebook pushes the privacy and copyright envelopes all the time. The unveiling of Seamless Sharing (or Frictionless Sharing) has all sorts of unpleasant ramifications. And we all know how easy it is to inadvertently opt-in to oversharing. Personally, I won't use Facebook as an OAuth login, because I simply don't trust them.
So why is Allthis inspiring all this acrimony? Because they imply that all these people have opted in when they haven't. Mike Monteiro's succinct Tweet sums it up nicely:
@allthis realize the hostile interaction they set up between me and someone who "bought my time" feeling I owe it to them?
It's entirely unacceptable IMO. But is it fraud? Or is it just a clueless group of people making some really, really bad business and product decisions? Personally, I have a hard time believing they don't know exactly what they're doing. I think they're being intentionally deceptive, and trying to grow a community without doing the hard work of actually building that community.
But I'm willing to be proven wrong. Anyone out there willing to try to convince me that Allthis is a good idea?

I just posted this to The Huge Prim Blog <- Please visit and post your comments. In this blog you will find comments like:
Remove the ability to rez and repair megaprims and Caledon is,in a word, toast.
We've been using them peacefully for ages, and Caledon would be trashed horrifically if they were denied. We'd never, ever look the same again, and I mean that in the worst possible way.
I think I can safely say I'm speaking for a few hundred people here, covering nearly 2 million meters of land and well over 4000 USD a month of tier.
Good luck on your decision.

Independent State of Caledon
The following comment is from The Big Prim Problem Post on the SL Blog. One should read the whole blog entry and all the comments to see this comment in context. I highlight this one since I believe the author of many of the most used Mega Prims is the commenter himself.
Blog Comment 52 By Gene Replacement - October 12th, 2007 at 2:03 PM PDT
Seriously though Michael have you even talked to a developer at LL about this? They would explain to you how easy it would be for them to fix a lot of these issues.
– the larger ones, when used on the mainland, often produce annoying "parcel encroachment" situations. The megaprims are difficult to interact with, and are often not recognized by Residents as being an object at all.
— "I couldn't go past some kind of invisible barrier." Abusive Residents take advantage of these problems. Easy fix: force prims over a certain size (I think ~50-100m is fair) to be phantom.
– the presence of megaprims will interfere with the improvements planned for the physics engine. The bigger the megaprims, the more trouble they will cause for physics simulation in a Region. I'm not sure where you heard this but the new physics engine (Havok 4) has a much improved physics simulation for objects >10m. Though again, an easy fix is to never allow large prims to become physical. The server already checks if an object is flexi and disallows physics in that case, just add another clause.
– the graphics engine does not work well with prims over 256 meters in
any dimension. This is because the graphics engine was coded to occlude objects which have their root position located further than your draw distance. A much smarter approach would be to use the objects bounding box rather than the root position. Again a very easy fix, one that your developers would have probably fixed out of annoyance if they weren't deathly afraid of implementing anything that might reveal their support for those evil big prims.

A Stanley Steam Car in Fire Department Service – Newton, Massachusetts, c.1903
- Newton, Massachusetts Fire Department Chief Walter Randlett and fireman William V. Fogwell in a 1903 Stanley Solid Seat Runabout
By the time our photo was taken, the Stanley brothers had been in the business of building steam cars for six years. First under their own name and then licensed to Locomobile, their designs proved so thoroughly reliable that they soon became very popular with fire and police departments. Fire departments were very well acquainted with steam equipment operating practices having used steam pumpers since the mid-19th century. We suspect that the location of the Stanley factory right in Newton also made Chief Randlett's choice of vehicles an easy one.
Their acceleration was swift and the direct gearing of the 8 HP engine to the axle as seen in our bottom photo eliminated the possibility of any clutch and transmission problems. The article above from the Cycle and Automobile Trade Journal describes the favorable power to weight ratio and reasonable price of these early Stanley models that contributed to their success and the ingenious boiler design that all but eliminated the likelihood of explosion.
Locomobile would abandon steam car production in 1903. Stanley continued on and prospered in following years until Delco's introduction of the electric starter in 1912 eliminated a major drawback of "internal explosion cars" as Stanley called them, after which interest in steamers began to decline. You'll find many more posts about Stanleys and other steam cars previously on The Old Motor and some interesting Newton Fire Department history here. Photo courtesy of Historic Newton.
Early Locomobile Steam Cars in New York City
The Locomobile Steam Car is quite a story in itself, the design was by the Stanley Brothers who sold it to John B. Walker for $250,000. He promptly sold half of the company to paving contractor Amzi L. Barber. Their partnership lasted just a short time; Walker went on to found Mobile Company of America at the Stanley works in New York State, while Barber went to Bridgeport, CT, after a short time in Massachusetts where he formed the Locomobile Company.
The cars were built between the years of 1899 and 1903, with Locomobile later switching to gasoline power in 1904. It appears that the three cars seen here, probably date to between 1901 and 1903, but we will let out steam car experts in the audience tell us more.
What is wonderful about this photo from an early large glass plate negative is the clarity. Take a few moments to look at and enlarge the thumbnails to see the detail. The photo on the (left) will show you the signage of the N.Y.C. Locomobile Branch showroom. In the (right hand photo) in the background can be seen the sign for the Manhattan Automobile Co., a firm that was in the early storage, repair and supply business. Photo courtesy of Jack Cable.
Take a trip to England (above), where Dr. John Hennessy will show you a bit about the care and feeding of his Locomobile and take you for a scenic and educational ride.
Mad for Speed – Joan Newton Cuneo
By Elsa A. Nystrom:
In 1914, Joan Newton Cuneo, the first female race car driver in the United States told Country Life magazine, that she had already owned eighteen automobiles. For most people, in 1914, this was an incredible number. After three years of searching, I have only been able to positively identify 12, along with two others for which I have a description but no name. Before her death in 1934, Mrs. Cuneo undoubtedly owned a few more.
In addition to the cars she owned, she also drove a handful of racing cars after women were banned from racing in 1909. She had many friends in the racing world who recognized her love of fast driving, and often allowed her to try out the cars they owned or raced. Joan was truly addicted to speed and not surprisingly, acquired numerous citations for speeding between 1905 and 1915.
Her first automobile was not a speed machine, it was a used 1902 Loco-mobile steam car, her husband bought her because he was afraid she couldn't handle a powerful car, as it probably only had a top speed of 30 mph downhill. She soon tired of eating the dust thrown up by the faster cars that passed her, and her husband obligingly bought her a new 1903 White Steam Tourer. Weeks before she entered the 1905 Glidden Tour, he replaced it with a faster 1905 White.
Joan, at the wheel of the 1905 White made the newspapers numerous times because she was the only woman who dared drive in the challenging event. However, despite her skill behind the wheel, Joan's unfortunate accident (above) on the second day of the Glidden made her an instant celebrity. The photo of the White on its side in a stream (Ed. note: it was repaired and she continued on) made headlines in many newspapers and served to jump-start her racing career. She raced both the 1905 and a 1906 White chassis which the Cuneos bought strictly for racing and successfully set a number of women's records. Many White Steam Cars can be seen here (scroll down).
Admiring the Maxwell Speedster's performance in the Glidden Tour, she also bought a 1906 model which she raced briefly under the sponsorship of the Maxwell Company.
Upon her return from several months in Europe, Joan bought a 1907 Rainier Touring Car which she drove in the 1907 Glidden Tour. A year later, she bought yet another (1908) Rainier which she raced and drove in the 1908 Glidden, finally achieving a perfect score.
Her greatest success at the track was at the wheel of her next new car, a Knox Giant. In February of 1909, Joan defeated a number of top male racers, with the exception of Ralph De Palma at the New Orleans MardiGras meet.
However, although she would fight against the Contest Board's ruling, this would be her last opportunity to race in an AAA sanctioned event, as the organization banned women competitors in the following month.
Still determined to race, she had yet another Giantess (her male competitors feminized the name of the Knox because of her success) built to her specifications at the Knox factory, but she never got to race it officially. It was however, successfully raced for her by her longtime mechanic and friend, Lou Disbrow.
Between 1909 and 1912, she drove a series of racing cars that were owned by others, mainly in time trials. Some of the better known models were the Darracq Bluebird, the Lancia Lampo, the Case Jay-Eye-Cee racer campaigned by Lou Disbrow and his Pope – Hartford Hummer, in which she set a women's speed record of 112 mph on the Long Island Motor Parkway.
In 1910, she bought another a Renault American Standard Touring Car which she used for touring in upstate New York and Vermont. The Newton family retains a photo of yet another of Joan's cars, this circa 1910-1912 Renault (above). Ed note: (It appears to possibly be wearing custom French coach work).
Although still famous as "a driver of large racing cars," in 1914, she was nearing forty and her racing career was almost over.
To make matters worse, the following year, family troubles forced Joan to leave New York. She moved to Vermont in 1918 and eventually to Ontonagon, Michigan where she died in relative obscurity in 1934. Today Joan Newton Cuneo is remembered mainly as the woman who got women banned from racing by competing against men.
Editors Note: The first of two interesting articles (above) was found in the March 18, 1911, Automobile Topics, telling of Lou Disbrow's Pope-Hartford being christened by Cuneo. The second article dated August 15, 1915, in the Horseless Age, tells of her scheduled appearance at races in Hamlin, Minn., to give a ten-mile exhibition race against an "aeroplane".
Look for another post in the future on Cuneo, demonstrating her Knox racing car in Wilmington, Vermont, during 1910, were she spent time in the summers before 1918.
Special thanks to Elsa A. Nystrom for writing this article and sharing these photos which will be in her upcoming book, due out next year, which will review titled: Mad for Speed – The Racing Life of Joan Newton Cuneo.

Do not adjust your screen, it's LNP!
The Red Sox signed World Series Champion infielder Nick Punto to a 2-year, $3M contract, denying the Twins the chance to sign perhaps the grittiest utility infielder of our times.
Have the Sawx virtually locked in a playoff spot in the AL East? Will the current Twins roster be able to withstand this new Red (sawx) Army juggernaut from the East battling it's tail off this season? Clearly the sabery minds at Fenway have seen the power of The Grit and it is only a matter of time before they snatch up all the grindy Jedi and use them to expand their evil empire. Whatever happens, the Twins are falling behind in grittiness and need to find The Twins Way™ again, fast!
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere rich women botox;
But there is no joy in Twins Territory — LNP signed with the Sawx.

Dryer vents and the chimney sweep
American Independence
Some of us are old enough to remember the energy crisis of the 1970's that began with an oil embargo causing energy prices to quadruple overnight. It was this sudden increase in the cost to heat our homes that lead to a resurgence of woodburning and by extension, the chimney service and hearth product industry in America.
Chimney Repair - Gas Logs
Chimney Repair - Old Water Heater Flue
Best time for chimney repairs
Homeowners are told that the fall and winter months are not suitable for some chimney repairs and they should have this work done in the summer when the weather is better. There are several good reasons for homeowners to act right now to get those chimney services performed before the good weather goes away!

Quoting *Turtles*:" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTm95A7_4HQ&feature=relmfu This is a great video, watch it!"

I got the idea., I am going to re adjust myself, but yet try to work on things. Thank u. Your just what I needed tonight
It's not easy, but just work on yourself and your situation. If you can't handle it and you have tried then I suggest ending the relationship.
Quoting *Turtles*:" He's being unfaithful. He isn't respecting your guys relationship and if I were you I would dump his ass."

Quoting saageex3:" The fact that he feels the need to lie to you and say its a guy and talks to them when you already stated that it bothered you to me says something is going on."

I would think if the conversations with the girls are innocent then he should have no issue being honest with you. The fact that he felt the need to lie is a red flag IMO. I mean I can KINDA understand him not straight out being like "hey I'm gonna go talk to a girl, okay?" But if you ASK him about it then he needs to be honest with you especially since you told him it makes you uncomfortable.

Quoting *Nov.13*:" I didn't say flirting. Just that he talks to girls that he just met saying " how is she, where does she ... [snip!] ... was " how have you been? I have been rocky with things." " I haven't talked to you in awhile, I have been thinking about you""

Wow. Really?! The only thing that I can see that you might thinking is toeing the "line" is where he said "I've been thinking about you" and only because that can be misconstrued for you to think he is talking about thinking about someone romantically.
Everything else is normal acquaintance conversation and if that really bothers you then YOU are the one with an issue: insecurity.
I would agree, she wasn't being rude she was just being honest and the truth hurts sometimes. With my husband and I, we tell each other things, not because we feel we have to, but because we WANT to. If he feels the need to hide it from you, then he probably feels that he doesn't want to tell you and get bitched at or anything for it. Let him do his things because it does sound like you have major trust issues and you either need to leave or get some help and let him breath. Respect him and he would to you and give him some space.
Quoting ☾BizzyBee♉:" Keep reading. The man's not flirting with anyone, and he drinks 2 beers a week. She has an issue when ... [snip!] ... he's talking to. She's also snooping his facebook, that's how she found anything out. He's not in the wrong here. She is. "
Lying to her and saying he was talking to a dude when really he was talking to some girl, would honestly, make me want to snoop too. There should be no reason to lie about who he is talking to if there is nothing going on.
Quoting ☾BizzyBee♉:" She even SAID later in the thread nothing was going on! He was probably not telling her to keep her from blowing her gasket at him... "
I could see how she would be insecure about the one night she said about him talking to other women he just met telling them that their relationship is rocky, he doesn't need to say anything to anyone about their relationship and saying how he's been thinking about them. That's a little off to me. Even if it was the one night and I saw that I'd be a little cautious myself about who he is talking to and what he is talking about with them.
Quoting ☾BizzyBee♉:" He was talking to friends... How does SHE know he JUST met them? He could be talking to an old friend ... [snip!] ... She has some serious trust issues, she should not be snooping his shit, and she should not be trying to control him like this."
I'm going off of what she has said on this thread not off of what could be happening. Yeah, she does need to talk to him about her trust issues and maybe if they can't figure things out try couples counseling. & if they can't come to some sort of compromise and try to work things out then I say they need to split.
Quoting ☾BizzyBee♉:" She also said in the thread that he wasn't doing anything more than friendly conversation and that she ... [snip!] ... I feel bad for him... no one should feel like they need to sneak to have friendly conversation with someone, male or female. "
I agree with the controlling part. She shouldn't have control of who he talks to. There must be something more to this like maybe a problem that has happened in the past that has caused her to be insecure about him talking other women.
Quoting ☾BizzyBee♉:" Someone else said she's been on here before with the same controlling attitude, and nothing in the past ... [snip!] ... the past as far as anyone is aware of. It's sad. He shouldn't have to worry about talking to his friends just to appease her."
That is sad. Sad for him and sad for her.

JP Kutsner stars for Odiham and Greywell II in win over St Mary's
11:00am Thursday 15th May 2014 in Sport By John Boyman, Sports Reporter
ODIHAM and Greywell II beat visiting St Mary's by eight wickets in the only Hampshire Cricket League match involving north Hampshire sides to survive the weather.
Tom Lee top-scored with 27 as St Mary's were bowled out for 70, with JP Kutsner taking 6-8 and Russell Henley 3-28.
Odiham's target was reduced to 60 from 31 overs and they got home with just two wickets down, James Coyne seeing them through with an unbeaten knock of 32 as they got their Regional Division Two campaign off to a winning start.

At the end of the Invasion of Pain arc, Nagato used Rinne Tensei to resurrect everyone in Konoha. Everyone was alive and well just like they were just before their deaths... But what about the people who were crushed under buildings or exploded by Asura Path's missiles or torn apart by Animal Path's summons etc., etc. ?
To make things perfectly clear, lets say Kakashi did not Kamui away the nail that Pain shot at him.
So when he was revived he would have still had a nail in his head and died again immediately. What about all the others who died under similar circumstances?

Introducing ELE and a new era for e-learning at UCL
31 May 2012
This month, the team formerly known as the LTSS became ELE (E-Learning Environments). We talk to Dr Fiona Strawbridge, Head of ELE, to find out why the service was renamed and how it has changed.
Most people at UCL will have heard of the Learning Technology Support Service, commonly referred to as LTSS, but this month, partly as a result of the Smart IT process, the team has been renamed E-Learning Environments (ELE). While the new name is in itself significant, this is far more than a rebranding exercise.
Fiona Strawbridge, head of ELE, says: "Right at the beginning of the process, Mike Cope, the director of ISD, asked us to start with a blank sheet of paper and think about what we would do, in an ideal world, if we wanted to deliver world-class support for learning and teaching."
The answer was by no means immediately clear, but, after months of consultation and planning, the result is a new service comprising 15 members of staff divided into three sub-teams.
The first, and perhaps most closely related to the former LTSS model, is called E-Learning Services. Led by Jason Norton, the group will handle the running and development of ELE's core products, such as Moodle (soon to be Moodle 2) and Turnitin. Jason's team will provide centralised training and first- and second-line support to anyone with queries about how to use the various systems.
E-Learning Advisory, the second strand of ELE, will be headed by Dr Clive Young. The team will include two schools-facing E-Learning Facilitators, one of whom will focus solely on SLMS, and the other splitting their time between BEAMS and SLASH. Fiona says that both of the E-Learning Facilitators will work closely with their schools-facing counterparts in the Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching to ensure that both the technical and pedagogical sides of e-learning are fully supported in all departments.
"The E-Learning Advisory team will include one other staff member: Matt Jenner, who has just been appointed Distance Learning Facilitator," says Fiona. "Distance learning is rather different from supplementary e-learning or blended learning because you have to think much more carefully about the kind of support that students are going to get and making their learning more engaging and interactive." The hope is that the facilitating role will enable departments to develop in this field and also to support the informal network of people already involved in – or interested in – distance learning courses at UCL.
The third part of ELE will be E-Learning Development, headed up by Dr Steve Rowett. Fiona says, "This is more of a 'horizon-scanning' area: Steve will be looking at how technology is evolving and how it might support learning and teaching. He'll be keeping an eye on what other institutions are doing but also finding out what's going on within UCL because there are people doing all kinds of interesting things that we may not necessarily know about."
Steve's team will support projects that trial new technology (including those done through E-Learning Development Grants), liaising with both academics and students to find out what works and what doesn't. This process will be formalised by an E-Learning Evaluation Specialist, a role that has not yet been filled but that will look for genuine evidence of the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches.
The final role under the E-Learning Development remit is Learning Spaces Specialist. "We will be appointing somebody who knows about how technology can be used in the classroom, but also about how innovative classroom design can support more interactive, student-led learning, problem-based learning and scenario-based learning," says Fiona. "We've been working closely with Estates recently to try and identify classrooms that could potentially be made over. This is quite a new area for us and it's very exciting." Cluster rooms, hubs and student common rooms also come under this umbrella.
While the team considered keeping the name 'LTSS' because so many people at UCL are familiar with it, they decided that changing it to E-Learning Environments was important because it recognises the broader impact of technology in where, when and how students learn, including physical learning spaces, which is not reflected through the old moniker.
Throughout the restructuring and rebranding process, Fiona's team has also been preparing a three-year E-Learning Strategy, which will be released for UCL-wide consultation soon. It's certainly been a busy year.
"We won't move fully into our new structure until Moodle 2 has been rolled out and is all running smoothly," says Fiona. "However, I can certainly see the light at the end of the tunnel now. I'm feeling very optimistic about the future of e-learning at UCL."

If you're trying to get a good night's sleep, you may want to hold off on certain foods too close to your bedtime.
Some of the worst offenders on that food list include anything with caffeine.
Alcohol can also make you toss and turn.
Another thing to avoid is a large meal of any kind.
Our bodies are meant to be quiet at night and if our bodies have to digest a high fat, high protein, high fiber meal, it may cut down on the quality of sleep.
Foods high in protein also make you more sharp, and alert - the exact opposite of what you want when you go to sleep.
Eating a snack of about 200 calories or less that contains tryptophan may help.
Tryptophan boosts melatonin levels in the brain which can help promotes good quality sleep.

by Travis Birch, 14 August 2013 | The Agile Blogosphere
This post is from Agile Advice - Working With Agile Methods (Scrum, OpenAgile, Lean) by Travis Birch. Click here to see the original post in full.
From push system to pull system thinking
One of the disconnects holding teams back the most in an organization embarking on an Agile transformation is the lack of will and perhaps understanding of vision on the part of the business. The required shift in thinking is from a "push system" to a "pull system". Historically and still culturally, most organizations, even those claiming to be 'Agile' are very much push systems. The business folks in client services – VPs, Directors, sales people, etc. seem to make time (deadline) commitments to clients on behalf of teams and then the teams are given the deadlines to finish the work. Sometimes, the deadlines are decided on in consultation with particular individuals on the teams and very rarely, if ever, with the actual teams themselves.
