Carl Peterson: Stephen Ross never offered Jim Harbaugh coaching job
By Brian Biggane
Former Kansas City Chiefs General Manager Carl Peterson Friday backed up the assertion Dolphins owner Stephen M. Ross made last month that he never offered the Miami coaching job to Jim Harbaugh and insisted that Ross has for the most part remained out of the team's football operations.
Speaking to ESPN-760AM radio host Evan Cohen on Radio Row in Dallas, Peterson, a close friend and business associate of Ross, said it was he who introduced Ross and Harbaugh when Harbaugh brought his Stanford team to the Orange Bowl game at Sun Life Stadium in early January.
"I know Jim very, very well," Peterson said. "I know his father, his brother. But I wasn't on the plane (when Ross visited Harbaugh in California). I wasn't even in the country."
Peterson expressed frustration with the media, members of which jumped the gun and reported Ross and Harbaugh had a deal bringing him to Miami.
"I don't respect a lot of people who try to be first rather than accurate," he said. "I wish people I thought were friends would get on the phone and ask me, 'Carl, is there any truth to this?'"
Peterson, who currently is working with Ross in marketing handheld video players being used inside stadiums, called Ross "an entrepreneurial guy" who is "bright as can be. He's done some wonderful things for the Dolphins."
Peterson objected when asked if Ross, after having a mostly hands-off policy in his team football operations since buying a majority interest of the Dolphins in January 2009, might be doing a bit more meddling of late.
"I don't think he's interfering at all," he said. "He's a very concerned and bright owner who's trying to do the right things. He's not involved in making football decisions. He hired another guy (Bill Parcells) who is no longer there, Jeff Ireland is doing an outstanding job as general manager, Tony Sparano same thing. You have to have something called patience in NFL."
Peterson ended the interview insisting once again that Ross, whom he repeatedly referred to as "my friend," never offered Harbaugh a job.
"My friend had an interest in Jim Harbaugh because they're both Michigan guys," he said. "Jim Harbaugh is a very talented young coach coming into the NFL. But the thing (Ross) was surprised about was the media attention."

18th Annual Dyke March NYC
5pm from Bryant Park to Wahington Square Park
The Dyke March is a protest march, not a parade -- we don't ask for a permit, because we have the right to protest. We recognize that we must organize amongst ourselves to fight for our rights, our safety, and for visibility. Thousands of dykes take over the streets every year in celebration of LBTQ women and to protest against ongoing discrimination, harassment, and anti-LBTQ violence in schools, on the job, in our families, and on the streets.

Government Minister: CoE 'split down the middle' on gay marriage
– Crispin Blunt, Prisons Minister, speaking on BBC Breakfast
As far as I can see the Church of England is split down the middle on this issue.
Of course, what the Government is proposing is around marriage in the eyes of the state. We are seeking to protect, indeed proscribe, religious organisations from offering gay marriage.
That may be problematic legally but the proposal that the Government is putting forward is that marriage should be equal in the eyes of the state, whether it is between a same-sex couple or whether it is between a man and a woman.

Hi guys back again for another mock. There are some rumblings that Mr. Nolan wants to implement a 3-4 defense for us. Personally I think it is a great idea but we're probably going to have to trade back to pick up some extra pieces. So in this mock I'll assume we trade back with a team for a 2nd and 4th round pick. I'll also assume we get a 4th round compensatory pick for Lofton. Alright here we go.
2nd RD(Traded pick): Dallas Thomas/OT/OG/Tenn.: Pretty sure we should address the trenches first. Probably the most important elements for championship teams are good QB play and the lines. Thomas is listed as a OT but fits better at the next level as a OG. He has great foot quickness and nice agility to be able to block downfield. He does however need to put on some more mass to combat the huge DT in the NFL. He is a better pass blocker than run blocker which should be fine since we're becoming more of a pass happy team.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Xuxi2oLJgs( Thomas vs Bama 2012)
2nd RD: Brandon Williams/NT/Missouri Sou.: Freaking Mammoth. The guy is really big and REALLY strong. He also has underrated quickness. He is projected as a 3rd to 4th round pick right now but his stock has been rising since the Senior Bowl. He has look dominant in the drills and probably will be good value as a late 2nd. Finally this gives us a guy who can anchor down the middle f the defense.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YJL7Omn6G4(Missouri Southern D vs Lincoln University-no sound)
3rd RD: Jamar Taylor/DB/Boise St.: Big physical cornerback. I'm not sure if Grimes will be back next season although I would prefer to cut ties with DR and keep Grimes. Whoever ends up leaving will leave a void that needs to be filled. I think McClain is perfect as the Nickel CB. This guy should come in contribute and possibly even start at the next level. He has good size and also can hit. I mean he can really hit. Sound tackler and also displays good coverage skills.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKhJgN_yApM( Taylor vs UNLV 2012)
4th RD(Traded Pick): Travis Kelce/TE/Cinn.: Nice size and speed for a TE with great hands. He just broke Brent Celek record at Cincy for yards in a single season. Also a very solid route runner. His last game he had 5 recs for 123 yards and a TD with a YPC of 24.6. He has the talent to be an impact player especially in the redzone and ease the pain of losing a HOF a little bit better.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxxDN81kT8A( Kelce vs Duke Belk Bowl 2012)
4th RD: Michael Buchanan/OLB/Ill.: Personally I think he is a little bit quicker and more explosive than his former teammate Whitney Mercilus. He is quick off the snap and has violent hands. His run defense needs some improvement but as a pass rush specialist I think he is very dangerous. He adds speed to our stable of pass rushers and could make an immediate impact.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfLVhYFp020( Buchanan vs Western Michigan 2012)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfLVhYFp020( Buchanan vs Western Michigan 2012)
4th RD(compensatory pick): Trevardo Williams/OLB/UConn.: An elite runner who is undersized as a 4-3 DE. Fortunately for us he transitions well to a 3-4 OLB. At 233 lbs he runs a sub 4.5 40. Yes he is really that quick with underrated strength as well. Born in Jamaica it's no wonder why he is this quick. He shoots off the line racking up 8.5 sacks this past season. He should add good depth to our LB corp.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soYBpATHcFI (Williams vs Louisville 2012)
5th RD: Christine Michael/RB/Texas A&M: Last year I wanted us to pick up a guy named Cyrus Grey. This guy is just as good IMO if not better. He can pass block, catch out the backfield, and is hard to tackle. He does have injury concerns which might have caused his stock to drop this low. I think with a loaded backfield like ours those worries can be put to rest. He should compliment Quizz nicely.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBQnOz6nhxE (Michael vs Arkansas 2011)
6th RD: Conner Vernon/WR/Duke: This guy to me is a sleeper. Very crisp route runner with outstanding hands. He plays mostly outside but should be a easy transition to slot. I think he is as every bit as fast as HD. Should compete right from the get go for that starting slot position. Also he can return kick offs and punts.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZZA0HTuv1M (Vernon vs Virginia 2012)
7th RD: Jeff Tuel/QB/Wash St.: Another sleeper. I think he has the moxy and will to be a solid starter in the NFL. He has solid arm strength and good pocket awareness as well as above average accuracy. He had a good showing in the East West shrine game going 8-8 with a TD. Should challenge DD right off the bat for the back up role.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg74nl5oSLo (Tuel highlights 2010)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg74nl5oSLo (Tuel highlights 2010)
So that's the my 3rd mock. Tell me what you think in the comments below.

A crowd of 53,742 was treated to a 21-12 Husky win in the home opener at CenturyLink Field. This total is the lowest attendance in the Sarkisian era, and many are concerned that the problem lies more in a growing apathy among fans than the change of stadium.
While this total is only 79% of capacity, there were some moments it got pretty loud. A "Go Huskies" chant even emerged in the 4th quarter with the Dawg Pack in the South Endzone yelling the former, with the North Endzone producing the latter. It was not as loud or as passionate as the ones that went on at Husky Stadium, but it was not bad.
The Dawg Pack, UW's student section, was loud and excited. There were some empty seats, but this is definitely due to school not being in session at the University yet, with the first day of classes beginning on September 24th. UW Students started the "Go Huskies" chant, sang their fight songs, and made some noise. The Dawg Pack had a very successful night at The Clink.
On the other hand, the rest of the stadium seemed relatively tired and lethargic for most of the game. Only a few in attendance participated in the kickoff rituals. The fans between the end zones better bring it in the next five home games.
The music was either too quiet or too loud, and the siren was barely audible when the Huskies scored. The band played well, but not often enough, and none of the music played by the band or the stadium speakers were motivational enough to pump up the crowd.
It was a warm-up for Husky fans. Only the second game at a stadium that isn't theirs definitely produced some cobwebs. Portland State won't generate much excitement, but Husky fans better bring it when Stanford and USC come to town. A win over LSU would also generate a ton of excitement and possibly give CenturyLink the added edge to become a huge home-field advantage in 2012 for Washington.

West Virginia State University jumped out to a 10-7 lead after one quarter and had the game knotted at 17-all at half, but West Virginia Wesleyan pulled away in the second half winning 45-30.
Tyler Seals threw from 289 yards and two touchdowns. He also threw one interception. His top target on the day was Jon Cabral-Ramsey. Cabral-Ramsey caught seven passes for 124 yards as he found the end zone two times.
Defensively, the Yellow Jackets picked off the ball four different times. Dominique Matthews had three of those interceptions. Romell Haley intercepted the other pass giving him five on the year.
The Yellow Jackets (0-6, 0-5) will be back in action next Saturday as they return home to take on the University of Charleston.

How to show off the Surface
The other day I was in the back room of a place with some other people. I was casually using my surface to read a book. One of my friends, sitting to my right looked over at it and asked to see it. I said sure and handed it to him. After about 10 seconds of flicking his finger around, he gave it back and said he doesn't like it. I asked him why? he said it seems boring. Truth be told, I keep a pretty boring set of apps, lots of productivity and reading stuff, not really any games or any of the sort.
I decide to show him why he should like it. First, on the homescreen, I scroll to the right showing him the App organization. I have some websites pinned, one that I've designed to use the pinning meta tags as well. I tell him it works for me how I organize it and it looks pretty. He agrees, but says it's still boring.
I asked him if he's ever used an iPad. He has. So then I talk about the multitasking on an iPad while also using my Surface to show him. So i open an app and say that with an iPad, I can only have THIS APP up at a time, and when I need another one, I would have to doubleclick on the home button, but then I show him that it's easier to just swipe in the app from the left. What if you want to use more than one App at once? I show him how you can dock apps and change which app has the focus and the such.
He's an xbox guy, Great! so I go to show him how much control I have of my xbox from the xbox companion app, then how well linked it is to my Xbox Live profile.
Then I show him the desktop. He's amazed. You can use all the office apps (he's in school) you need but wait! there's more!... I flip out the touch keyboard. He's seriously amazed at this point. He grabs it and tries to put it on his lap like a laptop. of course it doesn't stand. Then I pull out the dock in the back.. "I need one of these".
He tests out the keyboard and notices that it works just fine. Then he asks me if the keyboard still works when it's flipped all the way back, doesn't that mess up what you're doing? I said it knows when it's back there not to work.. of course he doesn't believe me. So then he tests it out.
I do believe I just made a Surface Sale.

So NASCAR heads to my home track, the Kansas Speedway. I still remember what this area was like before they built this monstrous track on the gateway to the great plains.
They will be repaving and reconfigure this track as soon as the race is over on Sunday. And this is the only time that this race will be run in the spring (the normal dates are summer and fall). So I asked a couple of the drivers, can you use the notes you have and will you learn any thing this week that they can us when they return?
"You won't take much," said Denny Hamlin. "I can assure you that when you come back, you will come back with a completely different set up than what you have this time around. You will run something more like what you run at Michigan now, with the new repave or Charlotte that type of race track."
Greg Biffle agrees there is not much you can take from this weekends race, "So this is just for fun, this is for the trophy."
With that in mind, it is the last hoorah for the drivers, many of which enjoy racing on this track, and there are three that would really love to win here at Kansas Speedway: Missouri drivers Jamie McMurray and Carl Edwards along with Kansas native Clint Bowyer.
"It's everthing," said Bowyer. "Winning the truck series race here last weekend was fun, but there's nothing like winning in this cup series."
Both Bowyer and Edwards are drivers to watch this weekend, but the drivers that are really good here include Biffle, Tony Stewart, Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon and Brad Keselowski to name a few.

ESPN is currently running a front page story about how the NFL will just not ever be the same again without the miraculous Brett Favre. I just don't get it; at all. I have never believed that this guy was the unprecedented QB the media has always portrayed him as.
Yes Farve holds the NFL record for career passing yards and touchdowns but he also holds the all time record for interceptions. All this tells me is that the guy simply played for a really long time; which he did. As a general rule a QB is expected to have a 2 to 1 touchdown to interception ratio. Favre has 464 TDs to 310 INTs; that's not even close to reaching a 2 to 1 margin. Maybe it's his 0-9 record at Texas Stadium or perhaps it was his awful interception against the Giants in 2007's NFC championship game but I've just never thought of him as a big game QB.
Here is a quick list of Quarterbacks whose careers I respect more than I do Favre's
Joe Montana
Tom Brady
Dan Marino
Peyton Manning
John Elway
Roger Staubach
Dan Fouts
Steve Young
Troy Aikman
Johnny Unitas
To be fair I will admit that in the mid 90's Favre did have some outstanding seasons one of which culminating with a Super Bowl win. But if you listen to the media you'd think this guy redefined the position, is retiring with 7 Super Bowl trophies and dissevers a spot on "The Sports Mt. Rushmore" next to Michael Jordan. I do believe that he is worthy of the Hall of Fame but I draw the line when the media says things like, "the NFL will never be the same" or that "football just won't be fun anymore." Is watching an over hill has been throw multiple interceptions in a game really that much fun?
Tony Romo is apparently the heir apparent to continue Favre's style of play. I sincerely hope not. It is my hope that Tony continues to grow and develops his own style. A style that tomorrow's QB's try to emulate; a style that produces more touchdowns, less interceptions and more super bowls.

If you find yourself in Spain, be sure to take a good number of photos. There are a lot of interesting things to see, and a lot of fascinating experiences to enjoy. You'll want to make sure that you have something to recall those by. You'll probably buy souvenirs, of course, and those are great. But there's just something about having pictures to look at, or video to view, that really takes you back to a particular time and place.
The problem I usually see is that many travelers take photos, but then are never really able to take the time to sort through them. Thankfully, there are websites nowadays which provide a way to take existing photos and create a story or journey around them, based only on the dates and times of the photos, as well as geolocation data, and other machine learning on the server side. So if you have difficulty sorting through the photos you take, you might want to capture photos with a device that can also save GPS coordinates. As with all forms of data, make sure to have a way of preserving them. One of the best ways of doing this is to set up some automatic USB backup software. Again, you're making use of automation to take care of something that would be more tiresome to do manually.

Drug metabolism is the metabolismof drugs, their biochemicalmodification or degradation, usually through specialized enzymaticsystems. Drug metabolism often converts lipophilicchemical compoundsinto more readily excretedpolarproducts. Its rate is an important determinant of the duration and intensity of the pharmacological action of drugs.
Drugmetabolism can result in toxicationor detoxication- the activation or deactivation of the chemical.
While both occur, the major metabolites of most drugs are detoxication products.
Drugs are almost all xenobiotics.
Other commonly used organic chemicalsare also drugs, and are metabolized by the same enzymesas drugs.
This provides the opportunity for drug-drug and drug-chemical interactionsor reactions.
Phase I and Phase II reactions are biotransformationsof chemicals that occur during drug metabolism.
Phase I reactions usually precede Phase II, though not necessarily.
During these reactions, polar bodies are either introduced or unmasked, which results in (more) polar metabolites of the original chemicals.
Phase I reactions may occur by oxidation, reductionor hydrolysisreactions.
If the metabolites of phase I reactions are sufficiently polar, they may be readily excreted at this point.
However, many phase I products are not eliminated rapidly and undergo a subsequent reaction in which an endogenous substrate combines with the newly incorporated functional group to form a highly polar conjugate.
Phase II reactions — usually known as conjugation reactions — are usually detoxicationin nature, and involve the interactions of the polar functional groups of phase I metabolites.
Quantitatively, the liveris the principle organ of drug metabolism, although every biological tissuehas some ability to metabolize drugs.
Factors responsible for the liver's contribution to drug metabolism include that it is a large organ, that it is the first organ perfused by chemicals absorbed in the gut, and that there are very high concentrations of most drug-metabolizing enzyme systems relative to other organs.
If a drug is very readily and well-metabolized, it is said to show the first pass effect.
Other sites of drug metabolism include epithelial cellsof the gastrointestinal tract, lungs, kidneys, and the skin.
These sites are usually responsible for localized toxicity reactions.
Several major enzymes and pathways are involved in drug metabolism, and can be divided into Phase I and Phase II reactions:
A note is that, during reduction reactions, a chemical can enter futile cycling, in which it gains a free-radical electron, then promptly loses it to Oxygen(to form a superoxide anion).
The duration and intensity of pharmacological action of most lipophilic drugs are determined by the rate they are metabolized to inactive products.
The Cytochrome P450 monooxygenase systemis the most important pathway in this regard.
In general, anything that increases the rate of metabolism (e.g., enzyme induction) of a pharmacologically active metabolite will decrease the duration and intensity of the drug action.
The opposite is also true (e.g., enzyme inhibition).
Various physiological and pathological factors can also affect drug metabolism.
Physiological factors that can influence drug metabolism include age, individual variation (e.g., pharmacogenetics), enterohepatic circulation, nutrition, intestinal flora, or sex differences.
In general, drugs are metabolized more slowly in fetal, neonataland elderlyhumansand animalsthan in adults.
Genetic variation (polymorphism) accounts for some of the variability in the effect of drugs.
With N-acetyltransferases (involved in Phase II reactions), individual variation creates a group of people who acetylate slowly (slow acetylators) and those who acetylate quickly, split roughly 50:50 in the population of Canada.
This variation may have dramatic consequences, as the slow acetylators are more prone to dose-dependent toxicity.
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenase systemenzymes can also vary across individuals, with deficiencies occurring in 1 - 30% of people, depending on their ethnic background.
Pathological factors can also influence drug metabolism, including liver, kidney, or heartdiseases.

so, i just acquired a mill and a lathe off of ebay for $9 from a fellow whose house was flooded in Long Island during Sandy.
mill is an rf-45 clone, a zay7045fg/2 is the exact model number...?
according to the seller, it was purchased directly from the factory, and is unbranded.
surprisingly large, i bet it weighs more than my rockwell 21-100 knee mill.
i am assuming most of the electricals on both are no good...
lathe is a cz1224g. 12 x 24, gap bed, geared head.
seems decent enough from what i have seen so far.
might just sell the mill along / fix it up a bit as i dont really need it.
the lathe i was hoping to use. it will need a new motor. the rest of it actually doesnt
look too bad. it was on a 3 foot base, so i dont think the lathe got flooded with sea water at all,
but it was left in the rain a while after the hurricane.
wondering if anyone can help find a replacement motor.
heres the motor details.
the present motor is 220, would prefer 110 if possible.
bolt spacing: approx 4.8 in x 5.4 in
shaft dimensions: .949 in shaft x 2 inches long (seems like weird shaft size, close to 24 mm?)
model number: yl-9024 motor
1100 w 220v 7 amps
1700 rpm
double capacitor single phase (run and start capacitor)
and some photos:
thanks all

These Courage Inspirational poems are examples of Inspirational poems about Courage. These are the best examples of Courage Inspirational poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
The mighty 3rd to the north did steam,
Chasing a ghost not to be seen
Guard the landing your task assigned,
Quiet the day is to be benign
At dawn the Imperial fleet does appear,
Surprise complete, ranging fire splashes near
Outnumbered and out gunned, duty is clear,
Close the range you must in spite of your fear
Laying smoke, a jagged course you take,
An account of yourselves you will make
Steel your heart and make sure your eye,
For each salvo keeps you alive
Toe-to-toe the battle, you exchange mighty blows,
Triumph impossible, yet into the fray you all go
In perfect rhythm, the mad dance goes on,
As smoke filled gunhouse loads powder and shot
Decks strewn with the dead and dying,
Teams repair to keep the ensign flying
Struck and struck again, yet to point blank you steam,
Hard to port, you cross the "T"
"All guns to fire at the turn, torpedoes away!"
The enemy scatters in disarray
Too late, mortal blows you take
To the deep, no more your enemy to rake
One final salute their captain does render,
For you fought to the death and did not surrender
On this all men do still agree,
These were the finest two hours of Taffy 3
On October 25th, 1944, 3 destroyers and 4 destroyer escorts of Task Force
Taffy 3 engaged a combined force of Imperial Japanese Navy battleships and
cruisers in a 2 hour running gun battle to protect the escort carriers and troop
transports taking part in the Leyte Gulf landings in the Philippines. Two of the
three destroyers and one of the escorts were sunk while sinking three
Japanese heavy cruisers and damaged three more. Due to the fierceness of
the attack, the Japanese fleet retired from the area thinking they had been
attacked by a much larger force. At the outset of the battle, the commanding
officers of these 7 ships, without orders, individually decided to attack and
headed at flank speed to the fight all knowing they would most likely not
survive the day. Almost 1600 did not. In a final act of respect, the commander
of one Japanese cruiser saluted the crew of an American ship that had just
sunk as his ship passed them floating in the water.
Dedicated to my Dad Jerry W. Niday 3/20/1952 - 6/18/2013
I am who I am because of him
He's the reason for my son's name
He gave me my courage & my strength
To stand tall even when standing wasn't easy
Stand for the ones who can't
To think and fend for myself
I'm my Daddy made over
Taught me to fight back
To never back down
How to pick myself back up
When I've been knocked down
Fight for what I believe
I'm my Daddy made over
He gave me my stubbornness
Gave me my pride
Gave me my temper
Taught me not to take crap
To speak my mind no matter who
Work for what I want
I'm my Daddy made over
How to keep my emotions in check
How to handle large amounts of pain
When in trouble he always had my back
He knew how my mind worked better than anyone
I got it from him
I'm my Daddy made over
Even though he's gone
I'll stand and continue on
I may stumble I may fall
May even get hurt along the way
But I'll pick myself back up
I'll dust myself off and stand tall
I'm honored and proud to say
I'm my Daddy made over

Being you
Accept yourself
That's all that I can say
Let your inner voice tell you
The way to live your day
Do not be hard upon yourself
That never did no good
Just be happy, never worry
It's foolish that one should.
Love yourself
Cause you're a 'one off' too
No one else can play your part
Nobody can be you
It's a lovely world we live in
Let it seep into your soul
Then when you feel at one with life
Twill get you feeling whole.
Most people call me crazy
But I love being me
I do not care what others think
I only like to be
To be this way, it is my right
A gift sent down by fate
I'm so I'm happy being me
Each day to me is great.

He was always so happy
strong and bold.
He'd give you the shirt off of his back.
He had a rough life
growing up through the depression,
but like he always does,
he got through it.
He has two boys, of whom he is so proud.
Moved from Regina, to Victoria.
He had the best life anyone his age could have wanted.
But ever since his wife died,
he has not been the same.
But like he has always done,
he got through it.
Mind slipping,
just a little forgetful.
That's how it always starts out...
But like always, he powered through it,
until now...
He is not the same person that I used to know.
He been sentenced to the prison in his own mind.
Possessed by the thoughts of his dogs ashes.
He likes to play the blame game,
but we know he doesn't remember that it was him.
He wakes up in the night
shaking with pain,
tears streaming down his face.
There is nothing we can do,
Oh well...
Two more tylenol.
Hold on to hope
for as long as you can,
It's only a matter of time now.
He gets vocal, a very loud tone.
He'll block you in your room
and make false accusations
But we know that it's the pain induced monster in him.
Tick tock, tick tock...
You can't handle the stress anymore
you have to leave.
Just hope for the best,
maybe it will get better.
Surprise, it doesn't.
Your denial is foolish, everyone knows
what happens next.
All results of
"I Do Believe"
The purpose of LIFE is to {Living In Faith Ever}
to enrich God within us
to an optimum level
so that We as Humans
can be guided by God
to fuel out brothers and sisters
with the same driving force
to connect with the living God,
to His existence and
to See the Invisible,
Believe the Incredible, and
to Receive the Impossible

I am the hypocritical Christian.
I say I follow Christ,
But I'm still consumed by my demons.
I go to church on Sunday,
But I refuse to invite someone back.
I want to serve on mission,
But I'm too afraid to act.
They think I read The Bible,
But I just fall asleep in it.
They think I'm positivity and smiles,
But underneath I'm death and addictions.
They think I'm clean and pure,
But I'm broken and mistaken.
I say I'm not worthy of His love,
But Jesus will never let me be forsaken.
I pray long prayers,
But inside they're empty repetition.
It might look as if my faith is strong,
But my core is too easily shaken.
I say the things I'm supposed to say,
But don't follow His actions or obey.
I speak the truth the church wants to hear,
But deep inside on matters I don't know what to believe.
I walk in shame as if I'm not good enough
To be loved by God and saved through Christ,
But there is nothing I could ever do to earn His peace;
It's a free gift.
I accept;
Now forgiven, changed, and released.
Thank You God,
Thank You Jesus,
Thank You Holy Spirit!
In Jesus' Holy Name,
We pray,
I never knew following dreams could be this lonely,
But up on the hill, looking back, thank God I'm not the old me.
If the tears will fall, let them be;
I believe this is God's plan, follow your dreams.
The missing light,
What's behind.
Just believe,
That love comes again...
The skies,
Are like a hard glide,
In a shining rainbow's light...
All dreams and fantasies,
Can be reality,
'Cause fantasy,
Is based on reality...
But all histories aren't the same...
Sometimes, we dive,
In our lives...
Don't judge,
For what you see,
For what it is...,
'Cause time passes,
But, memories remain...
To your heart,
The body, does,
The mind, thinks,
And, the heart, feels...,
While, the soul, lives...
Always remember,
To remember the past,
To live the present,
And to wait and pursue the future...
Listen to your heart,
Before you are telling goodbye,
'Cause destiny,
Might lead to demise...,
But, remember that destiny can be changed...
Life is unpredictable,
But space and time,
Could be controlled...
And even if some die,
We may survive...
That life,
Might have an endless beginning...
All that remains,
Is to be reborn...
I am Reality's angel
resting on the broad shoulders of discovery
the truth feeds darkness and engulfs its target
ideas and concepts in turn become meaningless to you
there is a creator of all things
He is just and patient
many still have fallen into the masses of shadow
wrapped in their own filthy idols of philosophy
I have seen grown men fall like rose petals
and weaklings rise into unjust leaders
forever the follower of furtive evil
dominating only to remain inferior
the most important answers lie in the unseen regions
where no sense can fully give assurance
the mind that so many unreasonably twist and turn
grows weary because of the distance it must take
and truth be told the distance is not what frustrates
it is knowing we are seeking something far
that could very possibly not exist,
that our minds can twist into theoretical, idealistic nonsense
it is knowing all we really think we know
is meaningless
and yes—even a lie
all that has been written thus far rests under my wings
under the warmth in which you refuse to feel
can you believe in me—
though I am completely unseen?
how much more difficult would it be to see

Band-e Amir are a series of six blue lakes separated by natural dams made of travertine (a mineral deposit). The lakes are situated in Eastern Afghanistan, precisely in the Hindu Kush mountains at 2900m of elevation, and they were declared Afghanistan's first national park in 2008.
Get in
The access to the lakes is made with minivans, but because the lakes are remote and desolate, they are visited from Bamiyan more easily. In the high season, minivans leave on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning and they cost 150 Afg, but you can also take a minivan towards Yakawlang (200Af) and get off at the turn-off to the lakes. From that point, there's only a three hour walk in the burning sun… so you should bring some water.
If you don't care about money, than you can hire a private minivan who charge 2000-2500Af for three hours, but you will have to bargain for this price. For some extra money you can stay there for one night, and when you're going to the lakes, don't hesitate to ask them to stop for some landscape photos because the scenery is breathtaking. Also, keep in mind that the services at the Band-e Amir lakes close around mid-November and they reopen in March.
Get around
Once you get there, your only choice is to walk to the lakes, unless you managed to rent a horse or a donkey.
An overview of Band-e Haibat
All the five lakes are in close proximity of each other and they all worth seeing.
If you want to see some great views, you should try to be on the road at sunrise at the top of Band-e Haibat (in October 6am was perfect), and if the water is clear, wonderful reflections of the mountains surrounding the lakes can be seen in them.
A 20 minute walk from Hotel de Reves can get you to see some impressive views of 2 of the lakes, but if you like to be closer, you can rent a boat from Band-e Haibat, where there is the small mosque-like tomb of Amir.
There is also a women's beach, behind the tomb of Amir. A hut was built in the water so no one can see the women bathe. It is said that if you take a bath in the lake, than you will be cured of diseases, but the rubbish near the lakes might suggest the opposite.
For the road you can buy some supplies in the parking lot near Band-e Haibat where there are some booths. They sell basic stuff like biscuits, batteries and maybe mango juice packets.
Eat & Sleep
The only place to spend some nights and eat is a chaikana called Dir Hotel in Band-e Haibat. For 100Af/person you can rent a mat on the floor and the meals cost 120-150 Af. In the building next door (Hotel de Reves) they have three basic dirty rooms for 100Af/person, but the rooms from Dir are preferred by most people. There's also a public tent space for the tourists who like to sleep in the nature. You'll find that space near the only public toilet, but you can also rent tents if you want to go somewhere else.
Although there's no bottled water, there is a fresh-water spring but you should bring your own bottle and take it with you. From Dir Hotel you can buy many pots of green tea for only 5Af.
Stay safe
In these places you should be more careful, because there are land mines especially on the road from Bamiyan, so you should not use other paths than the main roads.

Waste plant boost for Southend
6:30am Friday 21st February 2014 in News
A HUGE waste treatment plant in Basildon could help ease the burden of Southend taxpayers.
Southend Council hopes the residual waste treatment facility, which is set to open in Cortauld Road, Basildon, in July will generate revenue for the council.
It will use the facility, whose construction is visible from the A127 near the Nevendon Interchange, and hopes a by-product of the waste treatment can be sold off as fuel.
Senior councillors agreed to give the county council, which will also use the facility, powers to look for a private contractor to sell the "refuse derived fuel", last Thursday.
Tony Cox, Southend councillor responsible for waste, said: "This is good news.
"It is something I have pushed for since I have been portfolio holder and I'm pleased the partnership board has taken it up.
"It was something that was due to take place once the waste was starting to be produced, but I was keen to see if we could get a contract before that."

Anger Management Classes
Harbor offers a comprehensive bereavement and loss assistance program to individuals in need. Our clinicians assist:
How we help... Harbor will help you take your time through this process and take immediate steps to help you function in the short-term while you deal with this long-term change.
Community Psychiatric Supportive Treatment
Community Psychiatric Supportive Treatment is a service that will help you and your family receive access to psychiatric, medical, social, financial, education, and other resources. Our CPST caseworkers focus on supporting you by helping identify and access services that will help you lead a more satisfying life. CPST services are typically ongoing and are designed to make sure you receive the services you need in order to live successfully in the community and function at your best.
Individual and Group Counseling
You can participate in one-on-one counseling with one of Harbor's trained staff members. Many individuals prefer the trusted relationship and rapport they develop with their counselor. For others, group therapy is important to their recovery and long-term symptom management. By the nature of the group setting, group
therapy is similar to a support group. Groups are led by a Harbor clinician and offer supportive and directed discussion. These sessions often empower the individual as they see others in similar circumstances.
Psychiatric Evaluations & Medication Management
Psychiatric evaluations are a detailed interview to identify your mental health needs or issues. These evaluations may lead to the use of medication. If medications are prescribed, your usage and reactions will be monitored through medication management appointments.
Our program offers treatment options for a wide range of behavioral issues including, but not limited to:
» Anger management
» Anxiety
» Adjustment difficulties
» Bi-polar Disorder
» Coping skills
» Depression
» Dual diagnosis
» Eating disorders
» Post Partum Depression
» Schizophrenia
» Stress Management
Psychological Testing
Psychological tests are usually paper and pencil tests. They ask questions about your thinking ability, feelings, and relationships. You will also be asked to talk about how you think and feel about certain topics. These tests help to identify specific behaviors or patterns you may display and allow us to further understand how we can help you through your treatment plan.
Transitional Living Program
The Transitional Living program serves youth from ages 17 ½ -25 that are forced into adulthood due to abandonment, domestic violence, abuse, or mental health issues. Harbor utilizes a holistic approach to nurture and link these young adults with knowledge of community resources, basic skills, and emotional or social support to ensure a successful entrance into adulthood.
Visiting Nurse Program
Current Harbor adult clients with Medicaid who are receiving medical services are eligible for this program. The nurses will be available to provide ongoing monitoring of medication for clients who may be stable but still require regular assessment between Psychiatry or Harbor based nurse appointments. This service is not a traditional medical care appointment but for psychiatric medication management only.

The FirstHealth Child Development Center uses The Creative Curriculum model that establishes age-related goals across a developmental continuum. Through a carefully prepared environment, teachers plan activities and experiences that support theme-based inquiries to promote growth in each domain of development (i.e., cognitive, motor, social-emotional, etc.).
Inherent to this approach is a strong emphasis on meaningful play mediated by intentional teacher interactions and positive peer-group relationships.

From Staff Reports
Logansport's gymnastics team recorded a season-high score in a win over visiting Huntington North Monday night.
The Berries recorded a 104.825 to defeat the Vikings (98.525) and improve to 3-0 on the season.
"We hadn't had a 100 for awhile," Logan coach Dannan Mordenti said. "It's nice to build them up and build the girls' confidence up a lot."
Emily Pomasl won the all-around with a 36.1. She was tops on floor (9.4) and vault (9.1), second on bars (9.15) and third on beam (8.45).
Kelley Platt won on bars (9.4) and beam (8.8) and was second on floor (9.3).
"We were glad to get Kelley back on floor for the first time this season," Mordenti said of Platt, who is nursing an ankle injury to start the season.
Maddy Rosenberger was third on bars (8.3), fourth on vault (8.55) and fifth on beam (7.5) for Logansport. Ashlyn Brown was fourth on beam (7.95), and Hannah Brandt was fifth in the all-around (28.975).
"We did really well," Mordenti said. "On our top three scores on beam we all had bobbles or falls, and we still finished with a high score on the night.
"I think everyone is getting in the groove of things with having three meets under our belt."
The Berries return to action next Monday when they host Lafayette Jeff and Northwestern.

(This post of mine was originally published on CRAFT in April 2011)
Last summer while vacationing in the southwest of France (the region where my husband is from) I got addicted to Pastis Landais, a sweet brioche that I literally would snack on throughout the day (related CRAFT post here). The pastries I enjoyed during my time there were all from this local bakery in Parentis en Born called Patisserie Bled Frédéric, run by a husband and wife team, Katia and Frédéric Bled. My mother-in-law frequents this patisserie and Katia and Frédéric were nice enough to open up their shop doors to give me a behind the scenes look at how french pastries are really done. What I observed was Frédéric's amazing attention to detail - every pastry looked beautiful and symmetrical - as well as his ability to multi-task between each projects of pastries and breads. Every pastry was a work of art as you can see and quite delicious as I taste tested most of them as my "research". If you ever get a chance to visit this enchanting town and summer lake vacation spot, you'll have to stop at this wonderful local patisserie for it's delicious treats and French charm.

"Rambo ate bad Fudge" says HS Coach
Seems like another victim of the "my friend brought special brownies to a Spring Break Party and I did not know that they had pot in them" tragedy. According to the Athens-Online story, quoting his HS Coach Bacarri had some bad fudge, is appealing his suspension and maybe considering the supplemental NFL draft. I don't know about the rest of you, but if I were on spring break and one of my buddies arrived with some brownies I would not only be aware of them but probably know that i should stay away from them. If I did eat one the first thing I would have done after destroying a few bags of chips would be to call Coach Richt and say "Coach, I fudged up" and lay it on the line.

Extreme winds across the area will continue throughout the morning and early afternoon hours. In Tulsa, several power outages were reported over the 41st and Garnett area due to the high winds. A few trees have been reported down as well.
Here's the forecast for today from meteorologist Andrew Kozak:
Happy Friday eve! Looks like a busy weather forecast is ahead of us- especially with the holiday coming up next week. By the way, we tied a record high yesterday in Tulsa- 70 degrees! .. before cooling rapidly overnight.Today: Gradual clearing, very windy and chilly. Winds: N 25-35 mph. Gusts to 45+ possible. High in Tulsa: 45Tonight: Clear, windy and cold. Winds: NW 10-25 mph. Low in Tulsa: 26A mostly sunny weekend is in store, before all eyes focus on early next week. Right now, there is little consistency in the computer models, but as we continue to look at the very latest info, it seems as though Christmas day could be more wet then white. A chance for a few showers throughout the day, with cold air making its way into the state overnight into next Wednesday. This *could* mean a changeover to a wintry mix come Wednesday the 26th. We will keep you informed with the very latest throughout the day!Meteorologist Andrew Kozak

The Tivoli gunfights that shook up Terrence Bent
Senior cop lucky he lived to tell the tale
This is the 24th in a series of close encounters with death by Jamaicans, some of them in prominent positions of society.
SENIOR Superintendent of Police Terrence Stephen Bent has spent most of his life living and working in the inner city so fear is not something that readily gets its icy grip on him.
Bent, 44, was born in the South West St Andrew community of Greenwich Town, and his almost 23 years of serving the police force has been spent in volatile areas of the Corporate Area which include sections of West Kingston like Hannah Town, Denham Town, Matthews Lane and Tivoli Gardens.
But there have been times when the amiable senior police officer was made to sweat while he defended the island's security against ruthless criminals hell-bent on disorienting normal life.
One such incident in Tivoli Gardens in 1997 remains one of the most frightening experiences of his life, one that shook him up so much that he felt that his time on Earth might have been cut short.
"At the time I was an inspector at the Hannah Town station. SSP (Linval) Bailey, now deputy commissioner, was in charge of an operation when Tivoli was barricaded right around, chain link fence and everything," Bent told the Jamaica Observer.
"So Mr Bailey decided that he would get the front-end loader from Mobile Reserve and assault the place in search of gunmen," he added.
Bent's job was to lead a team of policemen on foot who would cover the front-end loader, driven by a constable Sortie.
The front-end loader proceeded down Industrial Terrace to go on to Bustamante Highway, but just as the equipment was about to start tearing down a section of the fence, there was an eruption of gunfire that threw the police party off.
"It was just gunshots raining all the time," Bent reflected, explaining how he had to take cover behind a lightpost facing Bustamante Highway and Industrial Terrace.
"This incident was most terrifying to me. The shooting lasted longer than any of the other close calls and you didn't know if by the time help came, you would have been shot. There was constant gunfire, and when you looked at your foot you saw the concrete being chipped out by bullets and the shots chipping the post away, so you say to yourself eventually you are going to get shot or a bullet would even graze you."
"You could see the gunshots hitting against the wall and you could hear the shots sounding,
like dut, dut, dut, dut on the lightpost, the wood was chipping off," Bent said.
But the policemen were restricted in firing back at their assailants as female civilians, likely sent out to act as sheilds for the shooters, appeared.
"When I looked out, I saw a host of women around while the men were firing on us, so we couldn't return the fire because the women were there. The [gun] men opened fire on the front-end loader.
It seemed an impossible situation, one that they would likely not survive, but there was a glimmer of hope.
"What saved us was that the Bank of Jamaica had brought in some armoured vehicles and one of them had to come down to assist us by blocking off the roadway and staying with us. You could hear all the time the bullets chopping down the light post.
The man who saved the day for Bent and his team was Caple Williams, a district constable who drove the armoured vehicle into the line of fire and distracted the bloodthirsty gunmen.
After things calmed down, miraculously, without police casualties, Bent was given the nickname 'Brave Heart' by Williams.
A year after that harrowing encounter, Bent, a Kingston College old boy who has a Bachelor's degree in Human Resource Management and a Master's degree in National Security & Strategic Studies, almost fell victim to gunmen again. This time, it was during the West Kingston riots on September 23, 1998 after the convicted gangster Donald 'Zeeks' Phipps was detained by police and a soldier was killed in violent action.
'Zeeks', the recognised 'don' of Matthews Lane and its environs had been detained on suspicion of illegal possession of firearm, wounding with intent and attempted murder, for which charges were brought the following day. But an angry crowd gathered outside the Central Police Station where he was being held, demanding his release and the police called on Phipps to quell the crowd from the upstairs balcony of the police station.
But other forces loyal to Phipps would not be placated and were creating mayhem and wreaking havoc at other parts of West Kingston and Bent got caught in one such incident.
The day in question, downtown Kingston was in uproar as gunmen loyal to the Matthews Lane don let loose their 'cannons'.
"Former SSP Antonio Gaynor (former cricket umpire) was in charge at the Denham Town station and anywhere he was going he wanted me to come with him."
So Bent joined the police team that hit the road, driving from Denham Town toward Hannah Town, knowing that men from Hannah Town, some parts of Denham Town, Oxford Street, Tulip Lane and Pink Lane were operating in collusion with men from Matthews Lane.
"Mr Gaynor, two other policemen and myself were travelling along Hannah Street and turned onto Upper Rose Lane, right behind KPH (Kingston Public Hospital), when a barrage of gunfire hit the vehicle which I was driving.
"Mr Gaynor had on a ballistics helmet and I just saw when the windshield shattered and a shot hit his helmet and he slid back in the seat. The force of the bullet threw him back.
"So I put the vehicle in park, dropped back my seat and came out of the vehicle through the back door. By this time we were taking fire from Rose Lane and Tulip Lane, because we stopped at the corner of Upper Rose Lane and Tulip Lane, so we are taking fire from two sides — a barrage of gunfire. The vehicle was shot up but eventually we got out of there unharmed," Bent said.
News came back to him later about the incident suggested that gunmen from Hannah Town who were said to have been involved in that shooting retreated when they found out that Bent was a member of that police party. He had earned the respect of residents, including suspected gunmen while he worked at the station.
"The guys from Hannah Town never wanted to fire on me. I heard that they said that because I was in the vehicle, they never fired more shots. That was my policing district and I got on well with everybody. That saved the day," he remarked.
Another incident close to that time in the same Hannah Town area, proved too close for comfort for the decorated cop.
This time he was with three other policemen doing foot patrols in Denham Town, Matthews Lane, North Street, near to KPH and around Princess Street.
"Around 11 o'clock that night as we approached Slipe Pen Road going up to Hannah Street, we saw a car parked on the road outside Ms Olga's bar.
"I became suspicious right away, because at that time of night the bar is not normally open. As we walked toward the bar, two policemen went on the parallel side and I took a position on Hannah Street, we positioned so that there could be no crossfire.
"There was a man in the vehicle and one of my men said 'police, man in the vehicle', and by the time he said that, from my peripheral vision, I saw some movements from the back door, and by the time I turned it was pure shots being fired at me. I fired back but it didn't hit any of them.
"When the thing calmed down, the lady in the bar said that some men had just come in to rob the place and when they heard 'police', the car sped off and the men started firing. The morning when I went back, I saw 15 bullets in the wall behind me," he said, admitting that he looked at himself, glanced at the bullet-riddled wall of the bar and wondered how he had not been shot. A stop-sign at the intersection of Hannah Street and Slipe Pen Road with a bullet hole remains as evidence of the shooting.
Although he has come close, Bent has never been shot, but several policemen have been shot, some fatally, around him.
As an on-the-ground crime fighter, Bent has been exposed to other chilling experiences that placed him under pressure.
In another West Kingston incident, the infamous 2001 clash between security forces and gunmen, led by the flamboyant former Senior Superintendent of Police Reneto Adams, left 27 people dead after two days of fighting.
Bent had been forced into action to lend support to what was then called the Crime Management Unit, which was in charge of the operation.
"I was at MPD (Motorised Patrol Division) at the time and I was asked by Mr Bailey to head a team into the command post at Darling Street. The team included SSP Colin Pinnock. We went in there under fire. We met some policemen at Hannah Town, drove down to Darling Street, we had to get low and proceed to the command post the Saturday night.
"When we were there we saw the JDF personnel and more police officers. In the morning we woke up and there was a lot of gunfire and explosions. There was a lieutenant named Silvera, now retired from the JDF, who was telling us to stay low because you don't want to get any sniper fire. By the time he said that, shots rang out and he took a hit in his vest.
"The bullet came through a piece of steel and hit his vest and he fell. We thought that he was dead. During the course of the day we had a lot of gunfire. In the afternoon, it was more explosions sounding like grenades or bombs and you could see the building shaking and sand falling off the columns.
"Whatever they were throwing was shaking the building. It was more than just an ordinary layman's gunman attack. It was very highpowered artillery coming at us... I saw JDF men running up and down and I am saying to myself, if those men who are trained for war were running up and down, what am I to do.
"Eventually it died down, but it was a tumultuous experience. You were confined to a space, taking gunfire right through the night," Bent said of the controversial clash.

We hear a lot about the "logjam" at the 1-3 on the Warriors, but the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that this is the area of the team that needs the most work. The Biedrins/Turiaf and Randolph/Wright situation for our bigs seems to be one that can be very respectable for the coming years. Randolph and Wright still have some work to do (please stay out of foul trouble Randolph! Please!), but the makings are there now for a very good front court. The main issue we seem to have is at our guards and swingmen, something that probably requires a bit of explanation.
Monta Ellis is the only guard we have with a realistic, good shot at an all-star game at some point in his career. It's that simple. I like Morrow, but he doesn't scream future all-star to me; he seems more like a very good complementary piece. Buike is another solid role player. Marco, too. Jack and Maggette have seen their best days at this point. They are not going to radically improve to be the 1st or 2nd option on a winning team. CJ is a backup point guard, nothing more. Jamal Crawford, despite his great game last night, is not a good basketball player. Myself and quite a few other people on these boards have explained why on enough separate occasions that going into detail here seems unnecessary (volume shooter, doesn't rebound/defend, etc.) That's a lot of players, with one very good player. Calling it a "logjam" seems to imply that there are a lot of players who deserve a lot of minutes. If anything, we need ANOTHER swingman/point guard (I'm fine with either, Monta can play the point or slide to the 2, I don't care which he does) who can really play if we are going to make a legitimate playoff push.
How do we start to solve this problem? Step one, in my opinion, is to tell Crawford to opt out or expect the Starbury treatment for the next two years. Tell him straight up "We have enough guards, if you want to play basketball, I'd opt out. You won't be getting playing time here." If it is made clear that he won't be playing, he might realize how hard it will be to get another team to take him on after two years of warming the bench in Oakland. Harsh? Yes. This is nothing against Jamal as a person, just against Jamal as a player. Outside of the occasional game where he catches fire, he is a sizable detriment to the team. We don't need him.
Step Two: The Draft. Depending on position, we should not expect a world beater, but might fall into someone that would work very well for us or that some other team covets. I'd look into trading down or out of the first round if nothing exciting is available or if there's a solid player there, go for it (not rocket science, I know). If we move down, try to shed Jackson or Mags' contract in the process. That probably will require moving one of the solid young guys too, but this is the price we will need to pay. Marco, Mags and our pick for a later draft pick might seem little steep, but we need to make a play for an all-star caliber guard in the next couple years to make a serious contender out of this team. If we luck into a top 2 pick, well, that changes a lot. I've been thinking more and more that Rubio is our franchise's greatest hope if we get one of those picks, but let's not pretend it's likely.
Step Three: Free Agency/Trades. This one is on whoever becomes the next GM. It's a bit early to start seriously considering who will be on the market in either free agency or via trades in the next couple years. Most players listed as "Free Agents" aren't going anywhere. I'd love to see us make a move for Joe Johnson in 2010, but who knows if he'll have an extension by then. It's really going to be a matter of waiting for a possibility and pouncing agressively. All our nice young talent could be possible trade fodder for a borderline all-star type player. If our front court develops nicely, the Warriors would really only need the type of player who gets in the discussion of top tier players, not a surefire all-star guy.
Monta, Biedrins and Randolph could be the core that can win a lot of games. But they will need one more very good player if the team wants to be talked about as a title contender in the next 5 years or so. Standing pat leaves us with a first round playoff series on the road for the foreseeable future. There's a hole to be filled at our guard positions; we need to find that missing piece.

Lara Flynn Boyle is a beautiful woman that starred in many popular movies but the actress felt the need to have some plastic surgery done to her face. The 43 year old was looking just fine before all the procedures. Lara definitely had her lips done and they look much different when compared to past pictures. Beside her lips, the actress probably got a face lift that left her skin tighter around the cheeks and jaw line. Her cosmetic surgery did not go as well as expected and made Lara look off. The actress had too many procedures done and it sure looks like she also fixed her nose. The nose job was a success and her nose matches her facial features much better than before, but she should have stopped there.
Flynn Boyle wanted to look younger and thus she injected fillers into her cheeks for a fresh look. It is quite possible botox was used to get her rid of the fine lines but this caused her smile to be completely gone. Overall, the 43 year old's surgery was both a hit and miss as she did not know when to stop.If you like this article on celebrity Plastic Surgery ie., Lara Flynn Boyle Plastic Surgery Before and After Photo then please share with your friends and family this article Lara Flynn Boyle Plastic Surgery Before and After Photo

Marshall Sponder | September 26, 2013 | Comments
While the job of a chief convergence officer might seem hard today, it's about to become even harder due to several upcoming changes.
Most large organizations employ a variety of technologies that are very challenging to integrate in a meaningful way. Yet, without a deep understanding of the needs of each part of an organization at an end user level (specifically, how the data can best be leveraged for particular use cases) converged implementations will not succeed.
There seems to be a crisis of corporate technology where new capabilities of platforms are rapidly changing the way businesses are run and structured, requiring new leadership designations, such as a chief convergence officer (CCO) to help create end-to-end customer experiences that work and are scalable. While the job of a CCO might seem hard today, it's about to become even harder due to several upcoming changes.
For one, the arrival of big data over the last three years spawned several new industries and technologies that need to be converged to be truly useful. Second, we're just entering into a world of highly intelligent, programmable sensors (the internet of things, essentially) together with wearable computing such as Google Project Glass, creating a lot more data to work with (cleaner data, I might add). I alluded to some of the changes and benefits Project Glass will bring in my first article at ClickZ, but I didn't talk about intelligent sensors till now.
Robert Scoble has been evangelizing technology for as long as I have known him, but his latest rant on intelligent sensors (which I heard this Friday at Social Data Week NYC) suggests that a much richer and more powerful array of intelligent sensor data (including actions taken based on the bluetooth radios we have built in to many of our mobile devices) than we have ever had seen and which will change everything. In fact, a new book by Scoble and Israel titled The Age of Context paints a picture of what that new world order will look like in just a few short years when big data becomes data in motion.
Jim Grubb of Cisco, a expert on the internet of things says the "zettaflood of data", or "data in motion" will have huge potential but a very limited shelf life, where the primary value is in capturing and acting on the data as soon as it is created.
The development of big data and intelligent sensors requires Convergence Analytics that conveys actionable information in real time from many disparate sources.
A true customer intelligence system, along the lines I suggested, probably does not exist today, not-withstanding the hype in this space. Building a customer intelligence system (CIS) representing the voice of the customer (VOC) requires deep changes in technology, ownership, funding, process, focus and new type of leader to tie all these things together.
And, in a few years customer intelligence systems will be a necessity – the data needed for convergence will be abundantly available and businesses will demand it. Nevertheless, a new type of technology leadership will be needed to conceive and operate these CIS systems (and I'll cover this subject in more detail in a subsequent ClickZ post).

Amsterdam-Amstelland Safety Region
The Netherlands is divided into 25 safety regions. Within these regions, the municipalities, fire brigade, police, medical services and Public Prosecutor work together on safety in the event of major emergencies. The Amsterdam-Amstelland safety region comprises the municipalities of Aalsmeer, Amstelveen, Amsterdam, Diemen, Ouder-Amstel and Uithoorn.
Within a safety region, municipalities and emergency services work together to control risks as much as possible and to provide rapid and appropriate assistance in the event of an emergency. The safety region is managed by the safety region board, which comprises the mayors of all the municipalities in the region.
Amsterdam-Amstelland Amstelveen Fire brigade
Amsterdam-Amstelland fire brigade, part of the Amsterdam-Amstelland safety region, comprises six forces: Aalsmeer, Amstelveen, Amsterdam, Diemen, Ouder-Amstel and Uithoorn. The force, numbering about 1,100 personnel, responds effectively to fires and accidents, but is also prepared to act in the event of emergencies and to control major crisis situations.
The Amstelveen fire brigade is part of Amsterdam-Amstelland fire brigade. Its fire station on Oranjebaan is home to two fire engines, an access platform, an emergency assistance vehicle and a special vehicle for water-related accidents. Professional personnel respond to emergencies, but volunteer personnel can also be called on. In addition to its professional and volunteer force, Amstelveen also has a youth fire brigade.

Amsterdam-Amstelland Southern District Police Force
The Amsterdam-Amstelland police force comprises about 6,000 police officers, who are divided into five districts and 32 local area teams. Each local area team covers a number of areas. Although the police force is a large organization, this means that there are always police officers close at hand, so they know what is going on in the local area. Each local area has a local area director. The local area director has a control and advisory task and works closely with inhabitants and other bodies. The local area director has an extensive network in the local area.
In Amstelveen, the police work out of two police stations: on Gerard Doulaan and Zetterij.

Municipality of Amstelveen
The Municipality of Amstelveen is also a major partner in crisis control. During an emergency or crisis, the mayor will direct and coordinate the emergency services. The Public Order and Safety department of the Municipality of Amstelveen supports the mayor in this. Municipal services are very important to helping with issues such as information, accommodation and care of those affected or who have been made homeless and their registration. Regional resources and personnel are used to this end.

Ambulance services / GGD / GHOR
In the event of a crisis or emergency in Amsterdam-Amstelland, the Medical Emergency Services in the Region (GHOR) is tasked with the coordination, supervision and direction of the medical emergency services.
Amsterdam-Amstelland Regional Ambulance Service
The Amsterdam-Amstelland Regional Ambulance Service is one of the largest in the Netherlands. The service has a large number of vehicles at its disposal.

. . . in this article about men suffering from pre-menstrual syndrome.
Setting aside the obvious point that men don't menstruate, it is hypothetically possible that men have a monthly biological rythm that leads them to experience PMS-like symptoms on a regular basis, however that is not what the study in question shows.
All it shows is that on a survey of 50 (!) men, the men admitted to
feeling antisocial and suffering poor concentration; depression; lack of arousal; hot flushes and pain – including stomach cramps, back pain and headaches.
Okay, fine. But so what? Lots of people have periodic symptoms like that without it amounting to a syndrome. What you'd need to have in order to argue that there is a male equivalent to PMS is evidence that the symptoms recur on a somewhat regular schedule, especially a monthly one. Yet that is what the researchers seem to admit they don't have. According to the article:
[Dr. Aimee Aubeeluck] and colleague Joanne Worsey will now study couples over several months to discover if symptoms are cyclical for both men and women.
Given the wild inaccuracy of the press (more on that later), I can't be sure if the researchers themselves tried to advance the "male PMS" angle or if that was a figment of the newspaper's imagination, but if so it would be irresponsible to advance such a claim based on the scanty data the article represents the researchers as having (anybody know where the original study can be read online?).
