CHATTANOOGA, TN (WRCB) -- Automotive manufacturers and suppliers are in the Scenic City for the Southern Automotive Conference. It's the first time the conference has come to Chattanooga.
The Southeast has the fastest growing automotive industry in the U.S. and Tennessee is at the forefront, and lawmakers and leaders want to keep it that way.
The focus continues to be on supplying a readied workforce. "I think Tennessee and the Southeast really saved the American automobile industry, by providing a place where we can build in a competitive way what we sell in the United States," says Senator Lamar Alexander
Alexander says the automotive manufacturing landscape in Tennessee has changed drastically over the past decades and it's clear by the number of parts suppliers and manufacturers represented at this year's Southern Automotive Conference.
"Over the last 30 years we've gone from having almost no auto jobs in Tennessee until today, it's about one third of the manufacturing jobs that we have," says Alexander.
He says that's due in part to investing in the workforce. Just since 2006, the state has spent more than $80 million to training.
"Credit really goes to the workers who make quality products. I remember when Nissan first came to Smyrna. The Japanese were worried that Tennesseans didn't know how to build quality cars because we didn't have an auto industry," says Alexander.
Governor Haslam addressed the crowd, saying Tennessee will continue to focus on education and turning out top-notch workers, pointing to the successful relationship with Volkswagen, that he anticipates will only grow stronger.
"We need to make certain that we can provide the workforce, specifically the number of engineers they need. And we've had a lot of conversations with them about that as well," says Haslam.
"I imagine Volkswagen's going to expand here. They're the most profitable auto company in the world. They've got a small production in the United States. They want a big production. It makes a lot more sense to make in the United States what you sell in the United States and I hope if they do that, they do it in Tennessee," says Alexander.
Lawmakers say they're not going to let the recent decision by Audi to set up shop in Mexico, slow down the determination to grow the industry in Tennessee.
The conference continues Friday, where Senator Bob Corker is set to speak as well

With rumors swirling around the Denver Broncos due to the possibility of free agent Peyton Manning being courted by the team, a story broke on Friday featuring the sort of news that NFL teams generally want no part of.
Vic Lombari of CBS4 in Denver reported on Friday that two Broncos players are to receive six-game suspensions for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
Two Broncos to receive 6-game suspensions for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. Names coming shortly.— Vic Lombardi (@VicLombardi) March 9, 2012
Just ten minutes later, Lombardi had the names of the players: defensive lineman Ryan McBean and linebacker D.J. Williams. Lombardi claimed that the two players would be filing federal lawsuits against the league on Monday, claiming that their tests were tampered with.
Ryan McBean and DJ Williams suspended six games each. They will file federal lawsuits against the NFL this Monday.— Vic Lombardi (@VicLombardi) March 9, 2012
The players claim tampering during the process. Again, they will file federal lawsuits against the league. More to come....— Vic Lombardi (@VicLombardi) March 9, 2012
ESPN's Adam Schefter later confirmed the six-game suspensions for McBean and Williams and added a new name to the mix: tight end Virgil Green, who will serve a four-game suspension.
Two Broncos, LB D.J. Williams and DL Ryan Mcbean, suspended six games each. TE Virgil Green suspended four games. League did not say why.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 9, 2012
The federal lawsuits claiming tampering is worrying. One hesitates to think that the recent result of the Ryan Braun ruling has set a precedent for a brand-new can of worms, but the timing of this revelation must be considered.

Many Colt fans feel like we are a flawed 8-4 team. It is very hard to disagree with that assessment.
Unlike the euphoria of last years stunning turn around, where we were happy to make the playoffs, there is a general feeling that this team won't go anywhere in the playoffs and that the season will be a disappointment. We shall see.
What I find most troubling is a fear that our young GM has fallen under the sway of our erratic owner. Irsay's seemingly insatiable desire and need to tweet to the world has to put pressure on Grigson as he is trying to manage the roster.
Exhibit A is our trade for Trent Richardson....see attached.
Instead of staying the course, being patient and taking what the market gives us we traded a #1 for an overrated RB...and now have only 2 picks in the first 4 rounds...with a lot of needs.
Have to think there is added pressure with your owner jumping up and down and shooting his mouth off.
Hope cooler heads prevail going forward and that Irsay gives Grigson the room to manage for the long term.

Exclusive: Rosa Acosta Reacts To Amber Rose/Wiz Khalifa Romance, Keeps Lips Sealed On "Secret" Boyfriend
Monday, Jul 30, 2012 2:00PM
After heating up the Internet last year when she liplocked Amber Rose in Hollywood, soon-to-be former model Rosa Acosta recently talked to SOHH about her friend's engagement to Wiz Khalifa.
Acosta discussed her personal bond with Rose and co-signed the recent engagement.
"I think it's amazing. I'm very happy for her and she's just an amazing girl," Acosta told SOHH when asked for her reaction to Rose and Khalifa's recent engagement. "I've had the opportunity to meet her in person and share moments with her and know the real Amber not only the person you always see on camera or the personality that the media actually gives you. She's such a nice girl and I wish her the best and I think they make a great couple. God bless her and I'm really happy." (SOHH)
She also turned into a tease when asked about her own personal relationship.
"I just feel like because, he's not famous I just keep him as my little secret," Rosa added when asked about her own marital status. "I'm not going to put him in a position where I'm going to give away his Twitter name for people to do what? If people are not going to be nice to him, why would I do that? People can be really mean in this world. But yeah, he's amazing and everything's amazing and I can't complain about nothing." (SOHH)
Last year, Rose and Acosta's girl-on-girl kiss circulated online.
The blond bombshell and Acosta were seen leaving Eva Longoria's trendy restaurant Beso, which fittingly means kiss in Spanish, where they shared a quick peck before hopping into an awaiting white SUV. While Amber Rose has admitted to being bisexual in the past, her curvy companion says there was nothing behind the smooch as the two are "just friends". Rosa added on her website, "Can't two beautiful friends go out to dinner without having every camera in LA show up?" (Uh, no! Come on Rosa, you are talking about Hollywood.) (Examiner)
Recently, the blonde bombshell talked about wanting kids with Khalifa.
Amber Rose, who became famous overnight when she was dating Kanye West in 2010, is so madly in love with Wiz Khalifa she's virtually asking, "Kanye Wno?" Amber tells Shira Lazar why she fell so hard for the rapper known for "Young Wild and Free." "He was just so normal. He didn't let the fame and money get to him. I needed that," she says. "We fit." (Wonder if she was subtly comparing him to Kanye?) Anyway, the gorgeous model, who is working on an album, says "I definitely go to Wiz for advice. Obviously he's "The One," because she's planning life after a wedding. "We're going to have 25 kids," she joked. Then, she revealed, "We wanna have like four -- that's what we're going to reach for."

AFTER a visit to the driving license office, I have learnt that my (corrected) vision does not meet its standards.
The odd thing is that it turns out that only those with better than 20/20 vision are granted licences. Permit me to explain: after waiting for an hour-and-a-half (thanks to a power breakdown) for the so-called medical test, I was let into the medical examiner's office and rather rudely told to sit 'there' — there being a chair approximately six metres from a 'Tumbling E' eye-test chart. Before I could look up, I was told to identify a 'letter' on the chart with one eye. This was on the third last line of the said chart. Now, as far as I know (and I've confirmed it too) the fourth-from-bottom line is the one that from a standard (usually six metres) distance is the one that anyone with 20/20 vision should be able to read. The letters below that require better than 20/20 acuity.
In most countries I have been, the visual acuity requirement for a driving licence ranges from 20/60 to 20/40. It is truly amazing that Pakistan maintains much higher standards than possibly does any country in the world. It is no wonder then that we have the safest roads in the world.
Further, the result of my test was not made clear to me until I inquired from a worker outside what the scribbling on the form meant. Just to add another twist to the drama, he told me that the problem would be rectified if I'd just visit the police hospital (I think) in a certain area of Karachi. Apparently, a better pair of glasses wouldn't do the trick!
And so I am now unable to drive in Pakistan -- having driven all over the world for 20 years without so much as a scratch on my bumper! Would the relevant authorities please look into this madness?

Maison Du Vin restaurant in Brighton fined after dead mice found
Updated 4:49pm Tuesday 7th January 2014 in News By Anna Roberts, Crime reporter
A French restaurant has been fined more than £4,500 after food hygiene inspectors discovered mice in the premises which "virtually had their own private corridor".
Brighton and Hove City Council food safety inspectors visited Maison Du Vin in East Street, Brighton, on October 4 after receiving a complaint.
Officials discovered dead mice and rodent droppings at the venue and a case was brought against the restaurant's owners, Larius Limited, based both in East Street and Ship Street, Brighton.
- Seven months of misery - Brighton seafront roadworks delayed again
- Council warns eateries which served 'fake cod'
- Drinkers locked out of pub besiege staff and customers
- Investigations launched after workman dies from pier fall
- Father's plea to burglars over pictures
At Brighton Magistrates' Court on Thursday the firm admitted two counts of breaching health and safety rules.
Larius Limited was fined £1,500 for each offence, plus £1,496 costs and £120 victim surcharge.
A council spokeswoman said: "They [the inspectors] found two dead mice on traps in the basement and mice and rat droppings in the food preparation, storage and handling areas.
"Droppings were even found on the napkins in the restaurant store and extensive smear marks on the lower skirting boards where rodents had been.
"The establishment's unwelcome visitors were able to gain easy access to all parts of the premises, from the basement right up to the customer dining area, due to poor maintenance of the property.
"The rodents virtually had their own private corridor as they used damaged waste pipes to travel around the building and drink from them. They were also getting in from holes in the walls that they had gnawed through and gaps under doors."
Councillor Pete West, chairman of the city's environment committee, said: "This is quite shocking. When you go out for a meal you expect establishments to be scrupulous about hygiene as a matter of course.
"Sadly that is not always the case and that's why the council's food safety service is there to protect customers and prosecute when necessary."
The counts were one of failing to ensure the food premises were kept clean and maintained in good repair and condition; and another of failing to ensure there were adequate procedures in place to control pests. The restaurant has since voluntarily closed.
No one was available to comment at Larius.
Maison du Vin has no connection to Hotel du Vin.

A more accurate version of this story was on the Brighton and Hove News website yesterday. The first paragraph of the Argus story is wrong to say the restaurant was fined £4,500. The fines totalled £3,000 with the balance made up of costs and a victim surcharge.

Nearly two-dozen uniformed police officers walked the aisles of Severn's Walmart on Saturday morning helping 62 kids shop for Christmas presents.
"I've participated every year since I joined the department," Annapolis officer first class Shomar Johnson said. "I wanted to do something to give back to the community."
Shop with a Cop is an annual holiday tradition organized by the Annapolis Optimist Club, said club President Glen Rotner. The event started in 2004 with just 12 kids and each year more police departments and more children participate.
School guidance counselors help select the kids. Then, they are paired with an officer who helps them spend a $100 gift card at Walmart, Rotner said. This year officers from Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, the Sheriff's Department and the Department of Natural Resources participated.
"These kids are not selfish. They usually buy for their families before they buy for themselves," Johnson said. "Most times they don't have any money left over for themselves. I've seen a lot of officers, myself included, give them money to buy for themselves."
This year he guided 8-year-old Steffan Johnson (no relation) around the Walmart in Severn.
Steffan, who attends Georgetown East Elementary, has five older sisters, but most of what he picked out was for himself. He gravitated towards Spider Man gear and Legos.
The bill totaled around $110, and Johnson reached into his own wallet rather than asking Steffan to put something back.
Steffan said his favorite purchase was a disposable camera. He started snapping pictures as soon as the pair made it through the checkout—including snapping several of Johnson.
After the shopping spree, officers escorted the children to Outback Steakhouse restaurants in Annapolis and Glen Burnie where they enjoyed a free meal while volunteers helped the kids wrap their presents.

Life is a Big Canvas: Use All the Colors You Can
If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I will tell you, I came to live out LOUD. ~Emile Zola
Life presents us with such a colorful tapestry of opportunities and experiences. Every day, we have the option to live with passion, to open ourselves to new possibilities, and reach for the stars. We have the freedom to boldly live, laugh, and love … to live a live filled with all the colors of the rainbow.
So why don't we?
For the most part it's simply the reality of responsibilities and commitments of day-to-day living, the bigger picture of life gets away from us and by the time we realize life has grown a little … well, bland, we're not sure what to do about it. Eventually we convince ourselves how lucky we are to have what we have, because others have it so much tougher; and in the end we settle for a life that is simply good enough.
The problem is the years of our life have a way of passing ever faster, as the days and weeks blend into one task or distraction after another, until one day we look back and see little more than fleeting memories in shades of gray.
Grabbing more from life doesn't require massive change – that thinking can quickly send you into overwhelm. Besides this isn't an indictment of your current life, it's about increasing joy and creating more memorable moments … one step at a time.
Living a color-filled life is unique to everyone. It's not about external influences or possessions; it's about attitude, passion and joy. Begin where you are. Use your talent, enthusiasm and drive to jazz up your life in small ways by shifting your perspective and shaking up your daily routines. Have fun! Add a little spontaneity! Create more memories! Every positive action you take matters. Every small move creates a ripple of color!
The truth is many people are content to simply let life carry them along, because it's just too much work to take the controls. How about you? What one thing could you do today to add more color and passion to your life?
Here are a few suggestions to get started:
- Get a professional massage at a spa.
- Learn something new.
- Get a make-over.
- Set a stretch goal (that has nothing to do with a "should") and really go for it.
- Read the Kama Sutra with your lover.
- Create a fake persona and play tourist-for-a-day.
- Test-drive your dream car.
- Go to a comedy club or mystery theater.
- Learn to cook an exotic foreign food.
- Take an art class.
- Walk barefoot on the beach.
- Learn to play an instrument.
- Get a room in a posh hotel for a night of romance with your sweetie.
- Go on a spur-of-the-moment road trip.
- Do something nice for someone anonymously.
- Take a dance class.
- Join Toastmasters.
- Write a book.
- Climb a mountain.
- Volunteer.
- Do that one BIG thing.
You don't need to wait for permission. Begin today. Choose to be inspired and motivated enough, to live without limits. Get off the couch and do something! Let go, get gutsy, and get going!

This is such a timely post for me! I've been in a bit of a rut lately, working… working… working! I haven't taken time to stop and really enjoy the LIVING part of my life.
Your question, "What one thing could I do to add more color and passion to my life?" really got me thinking. I need to take a break – it's a mama weekend for me. It's summer time. And all of my "work" will be right here waiting for me when I get back.
I am borrowing your suggestion to play tourist for the day and I'm going to revisit my little city with my children as if we're just arriving and have no idea what this place is about. We might even get a hotel on the river.
Thanks for always inspiring, Marty!

This absolutely, positively, without a doubt the most inspiring and motivating article I have read to date. Yes, I use hyberbole with liberty, but it is well warranted. You have such a way with words and these truly spoke to me. Thank you SO much!
I feel like I have been using that 8-pack of crayons that you get in grade school forgetting that there is a 64-pack version available out there
It is ironic that the older we get, the more complacent we get with where we are. We should be wiser, right? We should choose to move to a better place if we don't like where we are. It is easy to get overwhelmed and get bogged down in the details instead of just taking a small step in the right direction.
Memorable moments are what life is about. It's what adds meaning to our own life and the relationships that we have with others. I love your suggestions for creating a little more color and passion in your life. In the process of adding some sapphire blue for peace and serenity, cinnamon red for adventure, and spring green for life and passion.
New colors for a new day … thanks for the inspiration

is dedicated to the elimination of needless death and disability from injury.
Physical trauma is severe blunt or penetrating injury primarily caused by automobile crashes, gunshots, knife wounds, falls, battery, or burns.
The survival of trauma victims is reliant upon the strength of the trauma system in that victim's geographical area. The trauma system must provide:
Excellent trauma care relies on an excellent trauma system. It requires a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach to the care of the victim. Unlike other medical problems, a trauma victim's care cannot be reviewed and a decision reached as to where the victim wants to go or who should care for him. The survival of the trauma patient is dependent upon the trauma system to make that decision in the most expedient manner possible.
For over 45 years the American Trauma Society has dedicated its time and resources to the formation and operation of trauma care systems across the United States.
Many members of the ATS are members of trauma teams in communities across the country. They are active in their communities and often are politically active, advocating trauma systems to their governments; federal, state and local.
The ATS strongly supports national and state legislation that creates and maintains trauma systems. It works closely with the U.S. Congress, various federal agencies and with the office of the President, supporting legislative and administrative efforts that address the financial and legal issues surrounding trauma.
The ATS provides critical information on trauma to its members, to policy makers, and to the public. It supports the needs of families. It is also a strong supporter of injury prevention, creating and producing programs and providing these programs to its members.
The members of ATS are the critical players in trauma care. They are the backbone of trauma systems. They provide the care trauma victims must have if they are to survive. ATS works with its members to insure that they are the best informed and the best prepared to provide unsurpassed medical best care in their communities.

Man drives onto playing fields close to playing teenagers
2:44pm Sunday 8th June 2014 in News
A man was taken into police custody after driving onto playing fields close to where teenagers were playing.
The driver managed to snake his car past bollards and onto the playing fields of Manor Road Primary School in Burgess Hill at 6pm last night.
Eye witnesses said the car hit a lamppost before ending up on the grass.
Onlookers also reported that the driver had to be helped from the car by officers before being led away into a police car.
Brandon Hanan writing on Burges Hill Uncovered Facebook page said: "He came down the road really quickly, smashed into the curb, messed his front wheels up, swerved through the bollards but hit the back end and slowly came to a holt, he just sat in the car.
"The police came and they had to pull him from the car because he wouldn't leave .
"Very lucky no one was hurt."
A Sussex Police spokesman confirmed that a car had come off the road and into the park but that no one had been injured in the incident.

Some of the namby pamby Brighton Police for some of the Burgess Hill lot.
If they act that quick on just one car, imagine what they'd do to 30 odd uninsured and untaxed expensive cars and 4x4's towing caravans across Brighton's parks and playing fields.

Well, I had this sense of optimism. I was ready for some good news, and then the NBA and NBPA took a big metaphorical s#!% on the whole thing. Cool. I understand they are labor negotiations and sometimes you need to take hard stances in certain circumstances. Fine. Here's something I don't understand.
These players and owners wine about money money money. I want this, and I might let you have that. That money did belong to somebody at one point. The league and the players got that money somehow. Gee, I wonder where it came from?... Oh yeah, that's right. THAT MONEY CAME FROM YOUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS!!! THAT MONEY CAME FROM YOUR FANS!!! We are the ones that are going to suffer on this one because of greed. Ratings were up. Fan interest was up. And now both sides are going to piss it away.
These owners meet for hours on end with the players. Obviously both sides are looking out for their own interest. It's also blatantly obvious that both sides seem to have forgotten about their loyal customers, the fans. Where's our say in the matter? We are the very thing that makes your product successful, and now we are outsiders looking in. WTF!!!?
Someone needs to be there to remind them. I guarantee if you put some educated, die-hard fans in that room, the deal would get done much faster. We would play mediator that would ultimately fix this whole thing. Take four educated fans from each team and put them in the room with the NBPA and the league. Of course this will never happen, but in theory, I think it would work. Until then, F--- you David Stern. F--- you Adam Silver. F--- you Billy Hunter. F--- you Derek Fisher. And F--- anyone who's holding up the process by being selfish and greedy. Act like men, make it happen, and get back to f---ing work. Your loyal customers demand it. Assholes.

"It's not getting the piece and holding it in front of you when you're alone, it's sharing it with people and seeing the excitement, the joy, the memories," Jim Irsay said.
"My first dabbling was collecting baseball cards as a little kid."
With the means and the interest, the collection grew from there, reflecting Irsay's love of music. Irsay has about 300 guitars, all of them unique and of high quality. Some of them were even owned and played by the greatest of all time including Elvis, the Beatles and the Grateful Dead. And yes, he plays them.
"The great thing about the guitars is not only do you have a great historical piece, but you have a great guitar you can play."
The one he treasures above most all others is Jerry Garcia's "Tiger" which is also in the display, as the centerpiece of the Dead Collection.
"There is a stash box in here that Jerry used to use when he went international and needed to hide his vegetables."
Being as valuable as they are – like the guitar Elvis Presley played in the 70's -- you'd think they'd be on a shelf, not in his lap.
"That's one I played quite a bit at first, and then I kind of stopped, because I was playing it too much."
But the museum wanted to make the exhibit about more than guitars. So, for Super Bowl week, there will be the expected Colts and NFL memorabilia from Irsay's private collection, but Jim Irsay is a lot more eclectic than that.
That's why you'll also see a Playboy original featuring Marilyn Monroe.
"Many men would joke through the years, that they get it for the articles. I've heard that."
Since he's also something of a history buff, you'll see documents from the likes of Presidents Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln, who wrote this letter recommending two potential employees at a stage coach company, written on March 24, 1864.
"When you think he sat down and wrote this out in his own handwriting way back when…"
And we haven't even mentioned the hallmark of the exhibit, in part because it's the only thing that hasn't arrived to museum storage yet: the famous Jack Kerouac Scroll; the manuscript from the classic beatnik novel, "On the Road." All 120 feet of it will be rolled out, like it was at the Boott Cotton Mills Museum, in Lowell Massachusetts in 2007.
For a museum, it's a dream come true, to put these kinds of artifacts on display and to be a part of the spectacle of the Super Bowl.
Reporter: "Can you talk to me about the logistics of making this happen and how difficult, how involved this process has been?"
"Oh yeah, it's been incredibly difficult. This has been a blast for me, I get to play with toys. I get to write about Jack Keroac and George Harrison and Peyton Manning and talk about their role in American culture in the last 50 years," said Dale Ogden, Senior Curator of Cultural History.
And it's not all important historical stuff, there are also a few pieces of Hollywood, like the manuscript from Monty Pyton and the Holy Grail, and the glasses Mike Meyers wore in the original Austin Powers. But for all the cool stuff, there's room for the pieces that got away.
"For every few items I have, there's a bunch that I don't have, because of the bidding process."
So what won't you see? Well, Irsay always wanted the bass drum head featured on the Beatles' Sgt. Peppers album, but the last time that went to auction, it was too much. Then from the epic movie "Castaway" he missed out on Tom Hanks' sidekick.
"I didn't hear it was on auction, I wanted to get Wilson, the volleyball from Castaway, which went for $18,000, which I thought was a great price."
Maybe he'll have it by the time Indianapolis gets the next Superbowl. Until then, there's plenty to enjoy this time around.
"All these things are borrowed, I'm just keeping them for a while, someone else will have them some day, it's really important to share them," Irsay said.
"Chaos is a Friend of Mine: Cultural Icons from the Jim Irsay Collection" will run Jan. 27 through May 6.

4 steps to design thinking
It seems everybody is talking about 'design thinking' these days. But the concept remains somewhat vague, and much of the current discussion around it feels a bit academic and jargon-laden—all of which can be off-putting to many people (including some designers).
And yet I think there is great value in bringing some of the key ideas and principles of design thinking to the larger world, where they can be applied to all kinds of business and social problems. So with this in mind, I'd like to humbly propose a new, simpler definition of Design Thinking.
Design thinking = how designers think.
Makes sense, right? But this in turn raises the question: How do designers think? Are there certain ways they tend to view the world, and to approach problem-solving, that are different? And if so, what can we all learn from that?
Obviously, it's dangerous to generalise about anyone, and perhaps especially designers—they're an eclectic breed, working in a range of disciplines, employing different materials and distinct methodologies. But having studied more than 100 top designers in various fields over the past couple of years (while doing research for a book), I found that there were a few shared behaviors that seemed to be almost second nature to many designers. And these ingrained habits were intrinsically linked to the designer's ability to bring original ideas into the world as successful innovations.
To break into four key points: designers question, care, connect, and commit.
Question. If you spend any time around designers, you quickly discover that they ask, and raise, a lot of questions. Often this is the starting point in the design process, and it can have a profound influence on everything that follows. Many of the designers I studied, from Bruce Mau to Richard Saul Wurman to Paula Scher, talked about the importance of asking 'the stupid questions'—the ones that challenge the existing realities and assumptions in a given industry or sector. The persistent tendency of designers to do this is captured in the joke designers tell about themselves: How many designers does it take to change a light bulb? Answer: Does it have to be a light bulb?
The very act of asking all those basic 'why' and 'why not' questions in a business setting can make the questioner seem naïve. But by encouraging people to step back and look at old problems or entrenched practices with a fresh eye, the designer can begin to re-frame the challenge at hand—which can then steer thinking in new directions. For business in today's volatile marketplace, or for those trying to redesign everything from healthcare to public transportation systems, the ability to question and rethink basic fundamentals (What business are we really in? What do today's customers/ patients/ passengers actually need or expect from us?) has never been more important.
Care. It's easy for companies or government agencies to say they care about customer needs. But to really empathise with people, you have to be willing to do what many of the best designers do: get out of your bubble and actually immerse yourself in the daily lives of people you're trying to serve. What impressed me about design researchers such as Jane Fulton Suri of IDEO was the dedication to really observing and paying close attention to people—because this is usually the best way to ferret out people's deep, unarticulated needs. When OXO and Smart Design were radically redesigning potato peelers, measuring cups, and other kitchen wares, the designers often got their big ideas by actually spending time in people's kitchens, watching them make dinner. Focus groups and questionnaires don't cut it; designers know that you must care enough to actually be present in people's lives.
Connect. Designers, I discovered, have a knack for synthesizing—for taking existing elements or ideas and mashing them together in fresh new ways. This can be a valuable shortcut to innovation because it means you don't necessarily have to invent from scratch. By coming up with 'smart recombinations' (to use a term coined by the designer John Thackara), Apple has produced some of its most successful hybrid products; and Nike smartly combined a running shoe with an iPod to produce the company's groundbreaking Nike Plus line (which enables runners to program their runs). It isn't easy to come up with these great combos; designers know that you must 'think laterally'—searching far and wide for ideas and influences—and must also be willing to try connecting ideas that might not seem to go together. But this is a way of thinking that can also be embraced by non-designers, who can sometimes benefit by looking inspiration outside their own field—to see if there are any possibilities to borrow, connect, and recombine.
Commit. It's one thing to dream up original ideas. But designers quickly take those ideas beyond the realm of imagination by giving form to them. Whether it's a napkin sketch, a prototype carved from foam rubber, or a digital mock-up, the quick-and-rough models that designers constantly create are a critical component of innovation—because when you give form to an idea, you begin to make it real.
But it's also true that when you commit to an idea early—putting it out into the world while it's still young and imperfect—you increase the possibility of short-term failure. Designers tend to be much more comfortable with this risk than most of us. They know that innovation often involves an iterative process with setbacks along the way—and those small failures are actually useful because it enables the designer to see what works in the real world and what doesn't. When the inventor/designer Van Phillips was making the revolutionary Flex-Foot Cheetah prosthetic foot, he tested his own prototypes by trying to walk and run on them—and each time they broke, he fell to the ground. But each time he fell, he learned something that brought him one step closer to achieving a breakthrough.
The designer's ability to 'fail forward' is a particularly valuable quality in times of dynamic change. Today, many companies, government agencies, non-profits and others, find themselves operating in a test-and-learn, 'rapid prototyping' environment. Which is just one more reason to pay attention to the people who've been conducting their work this way all along.

StarOffice Free with Google Pack
The Google software package now contains a free version of Sun's StarOffice, the commercial variant of the free OpenOffice.org office software.
The search engine giant offers free and commercial software downloads under the "Google Pack" label. Google Pack requires the Windows XP or Vista operating system, although some of the applications will also run on Linux. The pack includes free software such as the Firefox Web browser, but also commercial packages such as the Real Networks RealPlayer, Norton Security Scan, or Sun's StarOffice. The commercial OpenOffice variant costs around US$ 70 and includes additional Web searching functionality according to its vendor, Sun. In contrast to the retail version, the Google Pack version of StarOffice does not include support by the vendor.
Besides third-party software, the software service also includes free downloads of Google's own software developments such as desktop searching with Google Desktop, the Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer, or the Google Earth satellite and navigation software.

People who eat fruit and vegetables as part of their daily diet have a reduced risk of many chronic diseases. USDA's MyPlate encourages making half your plate fruits and vegetables.
Vegetables are important part of healthy eating and provide a source of many nutrients, including potassium, fiber, folate (folic acid) and vitamins A, E and C. Options like broccoli, spinach, tomatoes and garlic provide additional benefits, making them a superfood!
Potassium may help to maintain healthy blood pressure. Dietary fiber from vegetables helps reduce blood cholesterol levels and may lower risk of heart disease.
Folate (folic acid) helps the body form healthy red blood cells. Women of childbearing age who may become pregnant and those in the first trimester of pregnancy need adequate folate to reduce the risk of neural tube defects and spina bifida during fetal development.

Interest in the C-USA / MW Alliance by WAC, Sun Belt and A-10 teams is high
According to an article by Brett McMurphy, as many as 11 teams have contacted the "alliance" or have been contacted by them about future membership. That includes the entire WAC! Throw in a couple of schools from the Sun Belt, just to make Karl Benson feel at home, and an A-10 school as well just to round things out. Looks like there will be no difficulty in adding teams. It seems that hasn't been the problem, its been keeping the others that has become the worry.

The Affordable Care Act mandates that a Community Health Needs Assessment is done on all non-profit hospitals once every three years to help identify health needs. The new report from the Center for Rural Health and the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences says three-fourths of surveyed North Dakota communities are in need of healthcare workers.
"There is a shortage or at least a maldistribution in North Dakota for family medicine docs, but also providing primary care, our physician assistants, nurse practitioners..." says Center for Rural Health Associate Director Lynette Dickson.
That includes lab workers and medical professionals all across the board. The assessments included several methods including data research, focus groups, interviews and surveys of both professionals and patients.
"It was health professionals, it was the local board of directors, local community members," she says.
The Center for Rural Health has a website where it is easy to view and compare the most significant health needs of all the medical communities in the state of North Dakota. Once you get to the website, just click on the community that you're looking for.
After the needs have been identified, the Center for Rural Health works with the hospitals to make a plan. Dickson says for small communities,some of the biggest challenges are recruiting and retaining.
"Being able to tell their story and reach the people who genuinely value and believe in rural life," Dickson says.
In addition to helping with improvement ideas and grants to help put them into action, the Center for Rural Health is working with a state-wide effort to encourage medical students and professionals to consider rural practice.

News: Memphis Bleek Willing To Sit-Down W/ Beanie Sigel, "He Knows How To Get In Contact W/ Me"
Thursday, Feb 18, 2010 10:30AM
Former Roc-A-Fella artist Memphis Bleek has addressed Beanie Sigel's recent disses and said he is willing to call a truce with his ex-labelmate.
Despite his offer to sit down with Beans, Bleek doesn't think Jay-Z is willing to do the same.
"Could it ever be mended? Jay is gone," Bleek said in an interview. "I could sit down with Beans. You wanna holla with me, he knows how to get in contact with me. I'm out here. Jay's gone. Ain't no time to look back. Where [Jay's] at, no time to look back. If Jay looks back, it's the back of the G5 [jet], luggage. He's gone. We don't need that. Where's the problem? When [all the Roc-A-Fella artists] signed their release paper and went their separate ways, it was no problem. Now it's a problem. Why do you need to talk?" (MTV)
Last weekend, Sigel publicly dissed Bleek and Jay at a Philadelphia concert.
"You supposed to pass that Roc when that ball got heavy," Sigel raps, "Instead you gettin' picked at half court already -- He 45 and playing for the Wizards already -- I'm a nightmare, show up in your dreams like Freddy/Sigel, Desert Eagle Arc heavy, already, n*ggas is running scared already/Memph Bleek peed the sheets leave the bed all wetty/Ugh, let's get it on already -- Jeezy blew, everybody trappin' now/I got caught with a gat, they tried to roof a n*gga, offered me 30 flat, for shootin' a n*gga, but shorty got caught with some hardware and he home already/Something wrong there, if I don't see it, I don't say it/That's how I play it, I'm just saying what they saying but they scared to say it..." (Mike Tramp TV)
Beans also said he viewed Bleek as sole survivor of the Roc in a past interview.
"I mean to me right now, that's Jay young boy, that's his lil' man," Beanie said in an interview. "Me, honestly, I think Bleek is happy how things are right now. Because now he really gets to be Jay's lil' man and it's evident, you can see it. It's like he's the last one who survived. He weathered the storm but the storm didn't start with the breakup, the storm started when Beanie Sigel got signed to the Roc. He was coming of age when I came. [Laughs.] He's still coming of age." (2DopeBoyz)
Bleek recently explained why he did not understand Sigel's dispute with Jay.
"That's my n*gga," Bleek said in an interview. "I don't feel no ways [different] as I felt from when he signed to us back in '99. I feel the same way today. That's my n*gga. And that's it. He can say what he wanna say. Him and I know the truth. He know what's real, and that's just it. It's all rap sh*t. Some people do things that you can look at and be like, 'Yo, why?,' but at the end of the day you just have to be in they mind frame and figure out - Try to understand what they thinking at that point in time. But like I say, he never stole from me, he never did nothing physically to me, none of my peoples, none of my family. That's still my brother...I just seen him at the Powerhouse show. Like two days before all of that sh*t popped off, we just had a ill conversation at Powerhouse. It was me, him, all his n*ggas there, my n*ggas, we was kickin' it, choppin' it up and nothing ever was said..." (Hip Hop DX)

No stories found
The St. Louis Rams claimed rookie running back Terrance Ganaway and defensive tackle Kellen Heard off waivers to fill two open roster spots.||||||| Heard, 6-6 and 339 pounds, played for Rams defensive line coach Mike Waufle in Oakland in 2010 after making the team as an undrafted free agent. He made two starts last year for Buffalo.
Heard returned to practice Wednesday a day after hurting his lower right leg.||||||| Coach Chan Gailey said tests came back negative and added that Heard should be ready to play in the Bills' second preseason game at Minnesota on Friday.
Heard limped off and did not return after hurting his lower right leg midway through practice Tuesday night.||||||| Coach Chan Gailey had no immediate update except to say Heard was having tests. Gailey said backup offensive tackle James Carmon was also having tests after the undrafted rookie hurt his wrist. Heard, who is competing for a backup job, was hurt during a team drill when he went down in a pile of players. He was slow getting up, and then limped off into the end zone. That's where trainers spent about five minutes examining the player's foot and ankle.
The Buffalo Bills have signed hulking defensive tackle Kellen Heard off of the Oakland Raiders' practice squad.||||||| Listed at 6-foot-6 and 355 pounds, Heard initially signed with the Raiders last spring as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Memphis. He also spent part of his college career at Texas A&M.

has anyone here ever been through extreme depression? if yes are you still suffering from it? how are you coping? if you got out, what did you do? what helped, what didn't?
EDIT: thank you all for responding. dont know if any of you remember but years ago i tried 2 times to kill myself and ended up in the hospital both times, (only the old school peeps might remember, vivid boy might). since then i've been on anti-depressants and things got better, i guess the circumstances which were causing my depression didnt change, i had just learned to deal with it better. however now i think it's back =/
i've recently moved and things have been...up and down. the past few days were the worst, i would literally spend every single moment thinking and feeling like i'm in the worst hell imaginable. think of what its like to feel utterly lonely, completely lost, no one to talk to, feeling like nothing has any meaning or purpose, nothing can make you happy, and feeling that constantly in your mind, 24/7...thats how the last few days have been. i feel trapped as if i'm in some sort of prison with a life sentence all by myself on an island and just can't get out. it's really weird and hard to explain. i find that the more i think the worse i feel. my thoughts inevitably wander towards questions about life and meaning and all that deep shit i have no answers to, which just makes me feel that much more helpless. and thats the worst part...the helplessness to change my situation, to really change the way i feel.
so today i decided that im just gonna shut off my mind...or at least spend as little time using it as possible. and i'm already feeling better my mind is my worst enemy i think, and the less i use it the better i feel. so for now thats the plan im sticking to. im just gonna feel what i feel and not try and dwell too much on shit that happened in the past, recent or distant. and i think i'll be ok.
thank you all

Keep your mind and body occupied, make long-lasting goals that are realistic for your station in life, take up a new hobby, talk to new people, reach out to your close friends and family - chances are excellent they will understand or be able to help you to understand. Above all, keep in mind that - unless you have a long history of depression - you *will* get over whatever it is that you are feeling, and you *will* feel good about your life again sometime soon, you just kind of have to grit your teeth and ride it out for a short while.
And this too shall pass, etc.

Photo of the Week: Six More Weeks of Winter? [1]
Submitted by Erika Harvey on
It may only be the end of January, but many New Yorkers are already looking for signs that the icy grip of winter is loosening. While some in the nation will be celebrating the beginning of Chinese New Year and rooting for their favorite [3] teams [4], others of us will be watching attentively as Punxsutawney Phil, the country's most famous weather-prognosticating groundhog, makes his prediction about the coming of spring.
Groundhog Day [5], which has its origins in ancient European weather lore, is a longtime Pennsylvania German custom. According to legend, if it's cloudy on the day the groundhog emerges from its burrow, the animal will not see its shadow and spring will come early. If it's sunny on the day the groundhog emerges, it will see its shadow and retreat back into its den – signaling six more weeks of winter.
Regardless of Phil's verdict on spring's arrival, you can always enjoy the beauty of the High Line in winter from the comfort of your own home by visiting the High Line Flickr Pool [6]. Prefer the icy temps and fluffy snowfalls? Stay tuned for our annual Snow Sculpt-Off [7] and bring your mittens to craft a frosty work of art.

Dear Chef,
With schools back in session, Chefs across the nation have started forming partnerships with interested schools through the Chefs Move to Schools Program.
If you have already partnered with a school, please make sure to update your profile on the Chefs Move to Schools website. Updating your profile tells other chefs and schools who is already working together and allows you to share your learning experiences. It also helps USDA know which partnerships could be models for best practices and success stories.
If you have not partnered with a school, please visit the Chefs Move to Schools map to identify a school interested in working with a chef in your area. Since your contact information is not made public, chefs must reach out to schools.
A variety of new resources are now available on the Chefs Move to Schools website to help you have these initial conversations with schools and to identify ways you can best work together to encourage children to make healthy food choices. You can also sign up for Chef Talk- an e-mail discussion group created specifically for chefs and schools working together under the Chefs Move to Schools Program.
Now is a great time to get started as schools are looking for chefs to participate on the recipe development team for the Recipes for Healthy Kids competition (www.RecipesforKidsChallenge.com).
USDA is sponsoring this competition to challenge teams of school nutrition professionals, chefs, students, and community members to develop creative, nutritious, tasty and kid-approved recipes that schools can easily incorporate into National School Lunch menus.
Winning recipes will increase student's intake of whole grains, dark green and orange vegetables, and dry beans and peas. Teams can form today and submission for the competition are due December 30, 2010. There will be a grand prize chosen by a judging panel as well as a Popular Choice winner based on public voting. The judges will also choose award winners for the top two recipes in each category. Winning teams will be invited to prepare their nutrition-packed recipes alongside White House chefs. To recognize and share the culinary creativity nationwide, the top ten recipes in each category will be published in a Recipes for Healthy Kids Cookbook to share with students and families.
Also, the Partnership for a Healthier America, an independent 501c3 organization, recently announced that it would like to help schools and chefs get started. Through the generous contributions of several leading cookware retailers,the Partnership is providing 1,000 schools with free cookware kits to be used for cooking demonstrations. These kits are available only for schools who have matched with a chef, so make sure to update your profile. Once you have made your match, please visit http://www.ahealthieramerica.org/chefs-move-to-schools.html for more information on this donation opportunity.
Thank you for joining Let's Move! and your efforts to help raise a healthier generation of kids!

TROY, N.Y. – Residents of Troy, Schenectady or Albany may have noticed the community garden trend and on Wednesday, the group which oversees those gardens, announced plans to expand on the idea.
There are a total of 49 community gardens in the tri city area. Those who oversee them all, The Capital District Community Gardens organization, hope to expand on that garden trend, by launching an Urban Grow Center.
The Urban Grow Center is basically a place where folks in underserved tri-city communities can buy fresh produce at a reasonable price and proximity to their homes. Many inner city areas have little to no access to fresh fruits and vegetables, and urban grocery stores tend to be grossly under-stocked with produce.
The Capital District Community Gardens, or CDCG, announced plans to turn the building at 594 River Street in Troy into a produce hub for Albany, Troy and Schenectady.
The CDCG will begin work on the building renovations next week, which should be finished by the end of summer. The building will then be stocked with fresh, locally-grown produce for folks in underserved communities to buy at rock-bottom prices.

Oh, the irony -- Microsoft has spent $600 gazillion to market its Windows Phone 7 devices and is paying $1 billion to Nokia to get the foundering phone maker to adopt the low-capability OS. But it's been outsold significantly by a mobile OS you never heard of: Samsung's Bada.
According to data from market researcher Canalys, in the first quarter of 2011, Microsoft's hardware partners sold 2.5 million Windows Phone 7 devices worldwide, of the 101 million smartphones sold in total. Samsung's Bada-based line of Wave smartphones sold 3.5 million units in Europe and Asia, despite tepid reviews. (For the record, 36 million Androids, 24 million Symbian devices, 19 million iPhones, and 16 million BlackBerrys were sold during the same period globally.)
[ Keep up on key mobile developments and insights via Twitter and with the Mobile Edge blog and Mobilize newsletter. ]
About a year ago, Samsung decided to open-source its proprietary cellphone operating system, resulting in Bada (Korean for "sea"). Samsung uses it in its Wave devices, and that's pretty much it. Bada is also a very limited mobile OS -- I hesitate to call Wave devices smartphones, as Bada units aren't much more than the "feature phones" that existed before the iPhone arrived: mobiles with a few primitive apps such as games. But it is more than those devices, offering a real Web browser in addition to social neworking clients and a smattering of feature-phone-style games and apps.
Bada is meant to appeal to those who don't want their phone to be a computer, but do want to access the Web and keep in touch with their friends via Facebook and Twitter. There's no notion of security or enterprise manageability -- no business would consider a Bada device to be anything other than a cellphone.

Agricultural Land Market Transactions in Chhattisgarh : A Case Study
AbstractIn the newly born state of Chhattisgarh a large number of land buyers have become actively engaged in the villages located along the national highway and at the periphery of Raipur city, the capital of Chhattisgarh to purchase prime agricultural land. In view of the fast emerging land markets after the formation of the state, it is imperative to understand the role of market and non-market forces in transaction of prime agricultural land for non-agricultural uses and transactions within the agriculture sector. This study is an attempt in this direction. The study has been conducted in the Jora, Labhandi, Serikhedi and Dharampura villages of Dharsiwa block in Raipur district of Chhattisgarh state. These villages are located on both sides of Mumbai-Raipur-Kolkatta National Highway No.6 and are in the close periphery of the Raipur city. Two-stage least square technique of simultaneous equation system has been used to estimate demand and supply relationship in land market. Total owned land of seller and the price of land have been reported as the two important determinants of supply relations in land sale market. Similarly, the ownership of total owned land of buyers and non-farm income of buyer are major determinants of demand for agriculture land. Also, distances from National Highway, revenue grades and land sold under distress have been found important factors. The linear trends in land sale and land prices have indicated that area of the land for sale has increased year after year. Prices of land have also increased year after year. The most important factors which have forced the farmers to sell out their lands have been identified as functioning of aggressive land market forces, extremely poor capital base of the farmers, desire to construct their houses, increasing addiction to alcohol and inclination towards starting non-agricultural enterprises or professions, landhunger tendency of urban businessmen and colonizers. The study has suggested that certain effective legislations and institutional measures will have to be introduced and enforced for non-transfer of agricultural land.

California Senate bill (SB-782) is a proposal introduced by the presumed next Congressman Mark DeSaulnier (D-Concord) which would impose a special $ 10.00 Strip Club entry tax (fee) for patrons who visit what are known as "Gentlemen's Clubs," "Girlee Bars", or "Strip Joints," etc.
Virtually every adult male has frequented one of these places in their lifetimes as they are a popular venue for bachelor parties and birthday celebrations. It is well documented (especially on film) young women disrobe while dancing around poles enticing guys to stuff currency inside whatever garments are still left on. For big spenders private lap dances can be provided with additional services often available upon request.
Strip clubs made most famous with the "Bada Bing "where Tony Soprano and his gang of thugs congregated, are nothing new to society. They have been around in some form for hundreds of years and seem to fill a need for some guys. While nude dancing venues provides employment, entertainment, and a place for men to rid themselves of sexual anxiety, they are a nuisance that most of us would prefer to remain in the shadows.
But why would the State bother with passing a strip club entry tax to nude dancing establishments when they appear to be effectively regulated on a local basis? Is there a failure of municipal governments to handle these places that requires Sacramento to step in? Why would DeSaulnier even be remotely interested in strip clubs when to the best of my knowledge, these establishments don't even exist in his district?
Strip Club Entry Tax fantasy
In analyzing SB-782 we should ask what would be the effect if the legislature passes the measure? As such it would appear:
- The additional ten dollar (sin tax) cover charge imposed on patrons of strip clubs would likely put many of them out of business. Were this the case there would be a reduction of jobs for workers plus loss of revenues generated from liquor and sales taxes.
- To fill the needs of some individuals who frequent these places, they would undoubtedly be attracted to illegal prostitution and unlicensed businesses of this type. Were this the case, what would be the costs for the courts and law enforcement be?
- It is likely Administrative expenses attached with collecting money under SB-782 would not allow for many dollars being left assisting rape victims.
- Would closing down strip clubs actually be a major factor in reducing violence against women?
For me, it is difficult to answer any of these questions as strip clubs are not exactly places that I have frequented much in the past, nor found especially entertaining. Quite the contrary, it is my recollection from attending a business meeting at the Cheetah Club in Atlanta several years ago, I felt like a social worker observing his clients. This place was definitely not a turn-on nor did I "inhale" there.
The big question for me is what good can come from the State of California imposing what amounts to a sin tax with the passage of SB-782? From a cost/analysis standpoint this type of revenue enhancement hasn't always translated into additional cash for the state treasury. If strip clubs are closed, they will probably move such establishments to Nevada much like what has historically occurred in the past with gambling?
Not to be forgotten with analyzing SB-782 is whether rape victims and abused women will be better off with the proceeds of the $ 10.00 fee. Were $10 million dollars of tax money to be collected, 1 million separate visits to Gentlemen's Clubs would be required. Could the net proceeds after expenses do much to curb violence against women?
The answer is probably "no". This proposal is another case of government overreach in trying to protect citizens against themselves. When all the costs are tabulated, SB-782 should be considered little more than a bad case of "symbolic eroticism". It would likely mean good intentions of the State Legislature leading to unintended consequences in passing a useless piece of legislation.
Unfortunately, a strip club entry tax is not the only item on the list of unnecessary measures the current legislature is trying to pass to tamp down adult entertainment. Among other items under Senator De Saulnier's wish list are:
SB-486 Start an Office of Legal Compliance and Ethics within the Transportation Department to conduct audits and investigations of themselves. This is being done mostly to figure out why rebuilding one half of the San Francisco Bay Bridge cost over $6.3 billion dollars? Do we need a special study group to know that labor racketeering, Caltrans bureaucracy, over regulation, design changes, and other cost overruns lead to spending too much of the tax payer's money on this project?
SB 293 Requires all newly manufactured or imported hand guns in California be "owner authorized" or be personalized in a way that would allow them to be fired only be authorized persons. This sounds great, but such rules would only pass costs for this on to gun owners. There is no indication drive by shootings or criminal activities would be influenced by passing laws that only law abiding citizens would obey.
SB-652 Makes a homeowner, in plain language t explain the specific alleged construction defect and record on property deeds and whether the defect was repaired. Were this law passed a whole new layer of government bureaucracy would be created in what are currently covered by "disclosure requirements" in real estate transactions. This would undoubtedly bring on a new cottage industry certifying costly reports and legal challenges that inevitably would follow "Let's make sure California real estate costs can become even more unaffordable," this bill is saying.
SB-466 establishes the California Institute for Criminal Justice Policy to study cost analysis of any criminal justice legislation. Just what we need, another government agency to study what another government agency does. This is more useless oversight which contributes to California's State government being one of the least cost effective in the 50 states.
The list goes on as Sacramento continues to immerse themselves in areas where they do not belong. If only legislators would concern themselves creating laws that really matter as opposed to collecting a strip club entry tax.
Which brings us to the original subject of SB-782 Why would anyone except for the "Get a life" crowd be even remotely interested in this nonsense? A strip club entry tax? Really? Perhaps Senator De Saulnier and some of his cohorts in the legislature think they can gain support from fundamentalist religious groups or Women's Rights advocates who distain what goes on in girlee bars. Who knows? Hopefully, they will work on solving more mundane problems such as high taxes, job creation, and pension reform in 2014.
