38 pc consider multiple brands before vehicle purchase: J.D. Power
Our Bureau
New Delhi , Oct. 12
SOME two out of five (38 per cent) new vehicle buyers consider at least one other model before making the purchase, according to the J.D. Power Asia Pacific 2005 India Escaped Shopper Study SM released on Wednesday.
The inaugural study analyses the reasons why shoppers of a particular vehicle initially consider, but ultimately reject it in favour of a competitive product. The study also serves to gauge shopper perceptions of vehicle deficiencies and efficiencies compared to the competition.
"The Escaped Shopper Study provides critical insights on the shopping habits of new vehicle buyers to brand and product managers for the first time in India," said Mr Mohit Arora, India Director at J.D. Power Asia Pacific.
"Furthermore, the information provided enables marketers to quantify the impact of a loss of sale due to various rejection reasons measured in the study."
The study finds that Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai are among brands most often considered by new vehicle buyers in India. Further, buyers of midsize and premium midsize cars tend to shop multiple brands more than the buyers of small cars.
The study, which also examines the reasons new vehicle shoppers reject vehicles they consider, finds that shoppers are most concerned with price and finance-related factors. Following the price, the vehicle's fuel economy is the second most often cited reason for rejection. "Vehicle affordability, both in terms of initial and running cost, is a key consideration for the new-vehicle buyer in India," said Mr Arora. "Both existing and new manufacturers planning to become significant players in the Indian market need to understand and incorporate these considerations in their product planning initiatives."
The study is based on responses from more than 2,000 potential customers of new cars and utility vehicles.

A group of semi-pro football players decided to start their own team last year. And after months of work, planning and practice, the Marshfield Sharks are ready to kick off their inaugural season this Saturday. And their the journey has been far from easy.
"It's definitely been quite an undertaking," Marshfield Sharks president Sean Dumais said.
Dumais and co-founder Kirk Prescott played semi-pro football last year in Wausau.
But they weren't happy.
"The team wasn't as dedicated and we wanted to play for a team that was more dedicated," Dumais said. "Kirk came up with the idea that he wanted to start his own team and he wanted to do it in Marshfield because Marshfield is more of a football town than where we came from."
The team's nickname was inspired by the local YMCA swim team, known as the Sharks.
"They support us," Prescott said. "The community just took a hold of us."
But finding other support became an obstacle. The planning started last fall when Dumais filed paperwork for the sharks to become non-profit.
"Getting organizations to sponsor us and help us out was probably the biggest thing that we had to overcome," Dumais said.
"We couldn't find anybody and we said, 'Let's go back and start knocking on doors, cuz we had to knock on doors.' That itself was scary," Prescott said.
The Sharks started practicing in November, with plenty of spots on their roster left open.
"It was just us. It was like, we were looking like 'are we just going to go 11 on 50 other people?' We just came to a realization that we were going to do it, we don't even care," Prescott said.
The Sharks even put out ads on Craigslist to recruit players.
"(It) brought some people in which was very surprising, we didn't expect that to happen," Dumais said.
"Once February came around, we said, we've got to do it no matter what."
Dedication is what Dumais and Prescott wanted all along, now their dedication to the Sharks is what's turning their idea of starting a team into a reality.

At the end of the second period of Tuesday's Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens game, Zdeno Chara and Max Pacioretty were battling for a puck toward the benches when Chara sends Pacioretty into the glass median between the two benches.
A word of warning: this video isn't for the faint of heart, so don't say you weren't warned:
Chara was given a five minute interference major and a game misconduct and Pacioretty was carted off the ice on a stretcher.
According to reports, he was conscious when he left the building and was taken to the nearest hospital for evaluation. NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell was in the building for the game due to the massive brawl that broke out between the two teams in their last meeting. There will be considerable question as to whether the hit was dirty and whether Chara will be suspended for the hit and for how long.
For more information on this, please stick with us or follow our Canadiens site, Habs Eyes On The Prize.

Willie Nelson has a venerable place in makeover history.
From Head...
A history of the makeover: Great, entertaining piece at the New Zealand Herald tracing makeovers from ancient China to Willie Nelson ("2011: Willie Nelson cuts his hair off").
Too pretty to do math: Oh, Christ.
Quite an eyeful: Gorgeous eyelid landscapes by artist Katie Alves.
Bella, bella!: No particular news here; I just want to do a shout-out to Italian photo blog The Feminine Touch, which juxtaposes photos of well-known women (usually, but not always, entertainers) from their height of fame with photos from how they look now. The photos rarely have comment (and when they do, they're in Italian, so...), allowing us to draw our own conclusions—or simply observe—from the way these largely image-conscious women have presented themselves as they age. Totally worth adding to your RSS feed.
To Toe...The red shoes: Anything that manages to reference both The Wizard of Oz and The Red Shoes (the film AND the fairy tale!) is a must-read: a history of red shoes.
The Red Shoes, 1948, totally creepy and awesome and basically puts Black Swan in a playpen
...And Everything In Between:
The White House on salon worker safety: The White House has launched an initiative to make nail salons just a leetle less toxic. This actually seems pretty exciting: The Environmental Protection Agency has developed a safety workshop series; the Department of Homeland Security (of course) is working on a smartphone that can "sniff" chemical levels in the air and assess worker health; and the Small Business Administration is evaluating how it can incentivize green nail salons. It appears to be spearheaded by Audrey Buehring, senior advisor on intergovermental affairs for the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders—fitting, given that 40% of nail workers in the U.S. are Asian. Of course, the EPA has stepped in on behalf of workers before. The agency's previous interventions have left ample room for improvement: One of its worker safety manuals read, "Nail salon products may contain many potentially harmful chemicals that can be a major cause of...health and environmental concerns." You don't say. The EPA strengthened the wording of their guidelines, but it begs the question: How committed to greening up nail salons can the EPA really be? We'll have to wait and see.
Governing taste: Spot-on breakdown of the incredulity of Arnold Schwarzenegger cheating on Maria Shriver with women who supposedly aren't as attractive as she is. Cheating? Sure! Cheating with a normal-looking woman when he's got Maria Shriver at home? He must be a head case!
Raw food!
Never say diet: Virginia Sole-Smith is rocking the foodie beat hardcore this week (well, she does that every week, but this week's Never Say Diet was particularly awesome): On why we don't "deserve" food (isn't just eating and enjoying it enough?), and why we need to approach "perfect" eating (vegetarianism, raw foods, etc.) with caution.
Damned if you do, grand slammed if you don't: Serena Williams was attacked for posting this picture of herself as a part of the World Tennis Association's Strong Is Beautiful campaign. Lisa Wade at Sociological Images deconstructs the problems behind this; Williams was accused of basically inviting stalkers (which she's had problems with) by appearing sexy.
The bath/body upsell: Awesome "exposé" from a former peddler of such things, with tips on how to leave, for example, Kiehl's with just the damn lip balm and not, say, the coriander bath set even though you don't even USE bath gel but it smelled so nice and it goes with the lotion and "layering" scents is the way to go and sigh.
Sexy girls have it easy?: Rachel Hills looks at a short documentary that follows a woman through town to discover what she can get for free when she's dolled up versus when she's plain-Jane'd down. The film is interesting enough, but Rachel's take more so.
Team Estee: Estee Lauder continues to kick butt in the stock market, with Avon not far behind. I am pleased to announce that weight loss company Herbalife trails both.
The art of not being threatened: Anika writes—and shows, with glowing, confident photos—on the near-Zen practice of appreciating the beauty of others instead of turning the gaze inward.
Dressing for your shape: You might already know how much I despise "dressing for your figure," particularly when that figure is being referred to as a piece of fruit. But Mrs. Bossa asks us the question about whether we should aim to dress for our body types, with her usual grace and quiet provocation. Her smorgasbord of independent fashion bloggers answering the question is a delight.

Team # 420 -- Data-based, Customer-driven Process for Developing the Leadership Academy/Management Institute
Finance and Business
February 2001
ObjectiveUsing a data driven approach, leadership and management development priorities were identified, and then applied to the design, development, and delivery of professional development programs for managers and directors (Penn State Management Institute), and academic department/division heads (Penn State Leadership Academy).
Empirical data were gathered from a variety of sources, including the Faculty Staff Survey of 1996 and 1999, a literature review, a benchmarking study of peer institutions, and focus groups. From the data, a three-pronged approached to professional development was designed, utilizing a series of seminars, a web-based resource center, and a 360 degree development profile.
To assure the program is meeting the desired outcomes, evaluations are being done immediately following the completion of the seminars, and then again in six months to gauge changes in performance of the participants.

Re: Fresh Meat 2: Kenny Santucci
I didn't mean to imply by my earlier comment that Kenny was better than all of the other competitors on that season. I know that Alton, Abram, and Derrick would probably beat him in an one on one elimination depending on what it is. I wanted to point out that Kenny has changed a lot from challenge to challenge, and I don't think he took them very seriously the first couple of seasons he was on. I think he was lazy and didn't care if he did well or not, and that day on the Inferno 3 is when he changed the way he looked at them.

Gateway Primary School exists to honour and glorify the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. The school has been entrusted with the education of young lives between the ages of 5 years and 12 years. Our aim is to do this using the Bible as the sounding board for all our policies and activities. During the course of the children's education the Gospel will be presented regularly in as winsome a way as possible, by teachers who are devoted disciples of Christ and who are suitably qualified. We will work alongside parents recognizing that it is their primary responsibility to bring up their children and train them in the way that they should go. All our activities should be characterized by excellence, compassion and grace.
In the late 1980's a group of Christians in Harare set about to establish a new multicultural, co-educational school dedicated to the pursuit of excellence, to the development of the whole individual, and to the service of God and man. In January 1988 the first 21 children were enrolled and used the facilities of Greencroft Presbyterian Church, while buildings were being built on the current site. By the end of the year the number had risen to 75. A year later the school moved on site with an enrolment of 380 children and thirteen staff including the headmaster. This number has now grown to well over 600 and a staff of some 35 personnel. In 1991 work on Gateway High School was begun and pupils were temporarily accommodated at the Primary School. In 1992 the High School was launched and now caters for children from forms 1 to 6. In addition to this, a Teacher Training Programme has been started and these teachers are involved in both the primary and the high schools. Tremendous strides have been made in relatively a short time and the credit is to be given to the loving God whom we seek to serve.
Vision and Mission
Our purpose, as a Bible-based Christian Educational Community, is to glorify God through serving our nation and impacting the world..
Our Vision
Our Vision is for all members of our community to have a personal faith in Christ with a principled, well-rounded character equipped to reach their full potential.
Our Values
In line with our Purpose and Vision, our values are:
- To spread the Gospel and promote Biblical thinking
- To demonstrate the character of God by our conduct and relationships
- To reflect the diversity of God's creation in our community
- To value and care for each member of our community
- To be Godly stewards
- To develop staff so that all our activities are characterised by excellence
- To develop Godly self-worth, initiatives, leadership and self-discipline
- To promote and encourage healthy competition, co-operation and communication
- To strengthen the family and involve parents in the education of their children
- To encourage our community to reach out in service

Texas just had a successful junior day, extending double-digit offers and gaining multiple commitments soon after. But already, the Longhorns are gearing up for another one this coming weekend. Wescott Eberts of SB Nation's excellent Texas site, Burnt Orange Nation, has compiled a great list of junior day attendees. Here are just a few:
-JT Barrett, Wichita Falls Rider QB -- Somewhat surprisingly, there's some buzz that Texas could take another quarterback in the class, even after the commitment from Whitewright QB Tyrone Swoopes, but that likely wouldn't happen for Barrett unless another player leaves at the position following the spring. Still, it says quite a bit about Barrett that he's still willing to come in, despite the tiny likelihood of an offer.
-Cody Thomas, Colleyville Heritage QB -- There hasn't been an update from Thomas since Swoopes committed and he could miss the event due to baseball obligations, anyway. It would be a surprise to see him make it into Austin this weekend.
-Eldridge Massington, West Mesquite WR -- With reported 10.6 100m speed and standing at 6-3, Massington may have the best size/speed combination at wide receiver in the state in a deep class. If Dallas Skyline WR Ra'Shaad Samples fails to make a move on his Texas offer this week, the 'Horns could end up offering Massington.
-Ellis Jefferson, Denton Guyer WR -- One of a horde of tall receivers in the state this year, Jefferson is highly unlikely to receive an offer on his visit.
-Jeremiah Gaines, Red Oak H-back -- Perhaps the top H-back on the Texas board, the Longhorns need to add two prospects at TE/H-back in this class, but may still be evaluating the position.
Make sure to visit Burnt Orange Nation for the complete list.

Two talking heads enter, on talkin head leaves!
Charles P. Pierce goes all "thunderdome" on David Brooks for his lame Tribute to Baseball, the Mets, and the Nats. "I guarantee that, if young Davey Brooks threw himself with unreserved love on any of the Mets of Davey Johnson's tenure in the 1980's, he would have collided with a stripper before he ever got there, and the shimmering crystals would have been 100 percent pure Colombian blow that the Met in question was snorting off the stripper's ass."

Allen Bradford was a sixth round draft choice out of USC in the 2011 NFL Draft. He was selected as a running back by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but was soon waived, which was when the Seahawks swooped in and claimed him. Bradford then endured a series of roster moves which eventually resulted in him being placed on the practice squad, where he remained for the rest of the 2011 season. In 2012, he again spent most of the season on the practice squad, only to be activated for the Week 17 game against the Rams.
In the process, Bradford was converted from running back to linebacker, which he hadn't played since high school. In the recent preseason, his position change was put to display with impressive results.
He led the Seahawks in tackles (22), including eight tackle performances against the Chargers and Raiders. His performance forced the Seahawks to give him a spot on the 53-man roster, and he played in the Week 1 victory over the Carolina Panthers.
Another linebacker whom Bradford was competing against in training camp was John Lotulelei, who was an undrafted free agent out of UNLV. He (and his hair) also had an impressive preseason and made the 53-man roster. I thought both deserved their spots on the roster, but that Bradford was more impressive of the two. The fact that Lotulelei was inactive for Week 1 supported that belief, which was why I was so surprised to see Bradford, and not Lotulelei (or Benson Mayowa) released with the recent signing of Kellen Davis.
Why would the Seahawks release Bradford if they, one, have a longer history with him, and two, put the extra effort into converting him to a linebacker? I'm sure the Seahawks hope to stash him on the practice squad, but I worry that another team (Jaguars perhaps) will claim him off waivers. Bradford was simply too good in the preseason to be ignored. And while Lotulelei was also impressive, I see him as having a better chance of slipping through waivers unclaimed.
Bradford is an NFL talent with the skills to warrant a spot on an NFL team's 53-man roster. I just hope that it's with the Seahawks.

What does CRT stand for?
CRT stands for Cell Revitalisation Therapy, which is exactly what
these products do.
CRT is a range of specialist anti-ageing treatments containing Accelerin
III - an exclusive biotechnological ingredient to assist the cell
renewal process of the skin and provide unique anti-ageing benefits
for a younger looking skin at any age.
CRT has been scientifically researched and developed to offer the

CRT also helps improve various skin conditions. The CRT anti-ageing
treatment range offers world-class formulations that deliver the
quality and efficacy assured by Avroy Shlain Cosmetics.
Whether young or old, everyone needs to maintain a youthful and
beautiful skin. It is never too soon to start fighting the signs
of ageing! CRT is Avroy Shlain's age-targeted, age-defying
treatment regimen for anyone who wants to improve the look and feel
of his or her skin. CRT allows you to manage and control the condition
of your skin at any age. Specific products cater for the skin-care
needs of consumers in their early twenties, to help to prevent the
onset of ageing, and for consumers in their thirties, where it slows
down and prevents the appearance of skin ageing, as well as for
the more mature or menopausal skin in order to repair, soften and
firm the appearance of older skin.
The CRT treatment products are used in conjunction with all our
other basic skin-care ranges. CRT is suitable for all ages, genders
and skin types. It is fragrance and colourant free and even suitable
for sensitive skin types.
What ingredients are used in the CRT products?
Avroy Shlain first introduced CRT with Accelerin in 1979 and we
have maintained our leading edge in the anti-ageing market with
constant innovation, utilising the most modern technology available
today. For many years, Accelerin has been used in our CRT range,
and women who are constant users of the CRT range endorse the remarkable
effect these products have had on their skins.
Accelerin III is the next generation in anti-ageing technology.
Accelerin III is one of the most modern biotechnological anti-ageing
materials available in the world today to assist cell r
evitalization, slow down the ageing process and prolong your skin's
youth. Accelerin III is a powerful anti-ageing complex to prevent
premature ageing, smooth wrinkles and help fight the signs of ageing.
Accelerin III Complex:
Accelerin III has advanced benefits to accelerate cell renewal
and increase cellular respiration, together with additional anti-ageing
benefits to slow down the ageing process and prolong your skin's
Accelerin III helps to repair damage by positively activating cell
renewal. Its advanced regenerating capacity strengthens the skin's
natural ability to protect itself and guard against damaging environmental
influences. Accelerin III significantly increases oxygen uptake
in the skin cells and stimulates cellular respiration to improve
skin health and vitality.
Accelerin III is a combination of our famous yeast-derived Revitalin
and a new innovative ingredient Solanum – a glycoprotein of
plant origin.
Accelerin III contains the first growth stimulator of plant origin
with remarkable biological, "growth factor-like" properties:
1. Accelerin III stimulates cell renewal.
2. Accelerin III increases cell respiration.
3. Accelerin III reduces lines and wrinkles.
4. Accelerin III stimulates ageing skin cells.
Accelerin III has remarkable anti-ageing properties which have
been confirmed by clinical tests on human skin cells:
*In Vivo
Accelerin III:
How Accelerin III works:
Each organ of the body is made up of millions of cells. As these
cells die off, identical cells replace them.
Thus, if a cell is in a bad condition, the new replacement cell
will also be in a bad condition. It will be an exact replica of
the former cell.
Accelerin III improves the quality of the cells, by ensuring that
the quality of the replacement cells increases continuously. Accelerin
III actually penetrates below the surface of the skin to stimulate
the revitalisation and development of new skin cells.
Very shortly after using CRT products containing Accelerin III,
you will notice a visible 'newness' to your skin –
a fresh softness and suppleness, which will smooth away superficial
wrinkles and crow's feet, leaving you with a noticeably younger
How Accelerin III accelerates cell renewal
Accelerin III increases the proliferation of two main sets of cells
within the skin:
1. Keratinocytes
2. Fibroblasts
Cell Renewal
In the basal layer, new epidermal cells are formed by cell division.
The skin cells formed in the basal layer are pushed upwards by 'younger'
cells, until they are ultimately shed from the surface of the skin.
This is a continuous process. As the cells move upwards, their shape
becomes flatter and flatter. As they move, they start to degenerate,
and gradually lose their vitality. They lose their water content,
dry out and eventually flatten out. By the time they reach the outermost
layers, the cells are dead. This process is called keratinisation.
As the skin ages and its capacity to renew itself declines, the
amount of active, live cells decreases. The skin becomes thinner,
more fragile, dries out more rapidly and becomes more vulnerable
to environmental aggressors.
Accelerin III stimulates fibroblast proliferation:
Accelerin III slows down the ageing process by stimulating the production
of fibroblasts, the cells that are the 'building blocks'
of your skin. It also thickens the skin's horny layer, resulting
in an improvement in skin elasticity and firmness and a visible
reduction in the appearance of wrinkles.
Accelerin III accelerates keratinocyte proliferation:
Accelerin III accelerates the proliferation of the keratinocytes
in the basal layer of the epidermis. This unique benefit increases
the quality of the ageing skin cells, helping them to stay younger
for longer, plumping the skin and increasing skin density.
What other ingredients are used in the range?
Accelerin III is contained in most of the CRT products with the
highest concentrations in CRT ReversAge Concentrate and CRT Youth
Gel. Additional active ingredients are included in our CRT products
to enhance specific product benefits to cater for individual skin
conditions and anti-ageing concerns:
CRT Concentrate contains Antarcticine
CRT Eye Gel contains Eyeliss
CRT Eye Gel contains Hyaluronic Acid
CRT Instant Radiance contains Chemical Exfoliators
CRT Youth Gel contains Hibiscus Extract & Sveltonyl
CRT EclipsAge contains Phyllanthus Emblica
CRT EclipsAge contains Tinosorb
CRT Time Defence contains Advanced Wrinkle Defence Complex
CRT XtremeAge Crème contains Clover Extract
CRT Line ReducA contains Retinol
CRT Eye Gel and Line ReducA contain Pentapeptide
CRT Surefade SPF15 contains Rumex Extract and
Vitamin C
CRT Essence of Youth contains Restor-X
CRT Diamond Crème contains a unique Diamond Complex
CRT Surefade SPF15 contains New Pigment Regulating Complex
and Rice Bran Oil
The CRT product line up and treatment plan comprises three segments.
The first step is always the basic skin-care routine: Steps 1,
2 and 3. Then only does one add in the 4th step of the CRT Treatment
Primary treatments are the first and most important treatments in
any preventative, anti-ageing and treatment programme. It is vital
that customers of all ages and skin types use all three primary
products as recommended, to keep skin at optimum condition and to
prevent signs of skin damage and premature ageing.
The new CRT range provides specific products which help you manage,
control and optimize the condition of your skin at every age to
prevent the onset of ageing and to reverse and repair the signs
of ageing.
Depending on your customer's skin type and condition, you
would recommend one of these products to be used in addition to
the three primary treatments above.
Age Prevention: Age ~ 20 + CRT EclipsAge Lotion SPF15
Wrinkle Reduction: Age ~ 30 + CRT Time Defence
Age Control: Age ~ 45 + CRT XtremeAge Crème
Avroy Shlain have enhanced and expanded their line of treatments
with innovative and advanced Defined Anti-Ageing Treatments for
specific skin conditions and individual customer concerns or requirements,
e.g. eye area, pigmentation or neck area.
These treatments are recommended, depending on the customer's
individual requirements or concerns.

Tuesday 10/16/12
We talked to Ashley Alexis, who was recently named Playboy South Africa's first ever Girl Next Door. Ashley also received a seven-page spread in Playboy South Africa. Playboy's Miss Social February 2011 just launched a Breast Cancer Charity Campaign – "Cleavage for the Cure." Four months ago she had a Breast Enlargement to DDs.

We kicked off today's Power Hour with our first Halloween Hottie of the month! Nicole presented us in a sexy Wonder Woman costume, which took seven seconds to practically take off! Our topless Halloween Hottie looked like Wonder Woman in a hurry due to the lack of clothes. Nicole's specialty Tip was to be very dominate in bed while wearing this outfit for Halloween! After the Lowell Down we introduced two more models, Rebecca and Sarah, to join us for a "Tickle Off." The girls had different tickle torture devices to use on each other to find their most sensitive areas of the body! After answering a series of questions, the girls who answered incorrectly were given a certain amount of seconds to be tickled. Andrea wrapped up the show as sheTitty picked the winner for tonight's NFL game, which she determined to be the Denver Broncos!

Mt St Helens Singletrack
Mount St. Helens was once the 5th largest peak in Washington state. Part of the Cascade Range that includes Mt. Hood, it became infamous in 1980 when a massive eruption killed 57 people, and destroyed homes and infrastructure in the region as it buried the mountains base with hundreds of feet of debris. Volcanic ash showered a wide area, with bits falling from the sky in places as far away as Oklahoma!
The effects of the volcano's frequent eruptions are readily evident, from dried volcanic mud streams, to the crater atop the mountain's summit, but the Mt. St. Helens area more than just a volcanic landscape. There is another whole world of verdant forest filled with creeks, lakes and waterfalls that lies in the shadow of this iconic peak.
And lucky for us, there is a remarkably extensive trail system that runs through this geological patchwork. We ride through deep shaded forest and along exposed ridges as we explore the Mt St. Helens National Volcanic Monument and Gifford Pinchot National Forest. You'll get an up-close look at volcanic lahars and the new and different terrain created by the eruption, but you'll also enjoy serene evergreen forest complete with colorful wildflowers, magical meadows, and plenty of plenty of cold, crisp water. It is easy to see how some failed to recognize the destructive potential of this beautiful place.
We take on a moderate amount of mileage each day, but keep in mind, our routes contain lots of climbing and several of the rides include areas with steep drop-offs on the side of the trail.

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
Today's little window to the past arrives courtesy of the Beverly Carlton Hotel on Olympic Blvd. This little midcentury gem in Beverly Hills was built in 1948 and remade fifty years later as The Avalon. Designer Kelly Wearstler installed classic modern designs from George Nelson and Charles and Ray Eames alongside new furniture made from rope, raffia, and stainless steel. The hotel has continued to evolve, and what was once the "ultimate in modern living," and home to folks like Marilyn Monroe and Mae West, is as spiffy as it was when Harry Truman was president.

In 2012, the OFBCI will host Getting Ahead in a Just Gettin' By World for organizations and communities that plan to provide facilitated dialog, over a 16-20 week period, with people in generational poverty. These discussion groups help individuals both identify and develop the personal resources necessary for a successful transition out of poverty.
The launch of other local Bridges initiatives is currently being planned for Woodward, Pryor and Norman.

OLYMPIA, WA - Advertising on the Washington State park's website is the latest idea to help generate some much needed money.
The legislature is now considering bills that would allow that. However, there will not be billboards or corporate displays in the parks anytime soon. Lawmakers have been working to move state park funding away from taxpayer dollars. Another idea is to get more private investments.

The role of Maori in National's asset sales plan
Originally aired on Election 2011 Audio, Monday 28 November 2011
The National Party's second-term agenda includes controversial plans to sell minority stakes in the state-owned power companies, and Solid Energy, as well as a selldown in Air New Zealand shares. The Maori Party went into the campaign opposing asset sales but iwi groups like Tainui and Ngai Tahu, are in favour.

Anthrax is a deadly disease with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Because it is, thankfully, also quite rare, it is relatively easy to track its whereabouts and going-ons when an outbreak occurs. Typically, outbreaks of anthrax have been traced to groups of people involved in high-risk activities involving grazing animals and their byproducts: anthrax favors shepherds, butchers, wool-sorters, leather workers, and even the odd drum-playing hippies. In 2009, however, an outbreak upended this........ Read more »

Ebola has a nasty reputation for the way it damages the body. It's rightfully earned when you look at the death rate.

Help get a deal! Write to the York University President to tell him to negotiate a fair collective agreement.
Toronto (11 April 2012) - York University and Glendon College teaching assistants, graduate research assistants and contract professors are poised to go on strike on April 12 unless progress can be made at the bargaining table. Members of the Canadadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) 3903 have been neogtiating since November in an attempt to reach a new collective agreement.
York University management has refused to seriously negotiate several of the union's priority issues. Some of the outstanding issues are:
- ensuring research money is not clawed back due to any wage increases reached in bargaining;
- tuition rebates for graduate students no longer taking classes but completing studies;
- a minumum funding package for graduate research assistants similar to what teaching assistants receive; and
- the continuation of appointments for contract faculty (i.e. renewable three year, three course contract for long service faculty, restorations of tenure-track promotions and a minimum work entitlement for those with two years teaching experience at York).
The bargaining unit has received a substantial strike mandate but would prefer to get back to serious negotiations and reach a new agreement. During the last round of negotiations, the bargaining unit was locked out for nearly three months and legislated back to work.
Members of the public are urged to write to the York University President to tell his administration to negotiate fairly with these workers.

Evolution, the rock band comprised of Mayfield High School students, was nearly named champions of the 2013 Tri-C High School Rock Off.
The band of five claimed second place in the "Final Exam" of the Cleveland-area competition, missing the championship by just nine points, according to a Plain Dealer report.
Noize from the Basement, with students from Field and Tallmadge, won first place and a $1,000 prize. Evolution received $250, and a $100 donation to the Mayfield High School band fund.
"Thanks to all who came to support us tonight, it was an amazing show," a member wrote on the band's Facebook page. "This ride wouldn't have been the same without all of you."

Collector's Corner #2 - the Patch
The thing that irks me the most about the modern hobby is the tendency to create artificial scarcity. Everything now is about finding the short-printed rookie, the limited-edition insert, the card serial-numbered to 25 or, best of all, that elusive 1 of 1. Along the way, the entire value of the base set, which was forever the thing that you collected to get, has vanished. Now, there are a couple of products out there, running hundreds of dollars per pack, that consist of nothing but short-prints. They do away with the base set, since lots of collectors just throw those out, anyway.
While there is still a tendency to short-print all the rookie cards, they're increasingly at the bottom of the totem pole. If the card isn't of one of the top two or three kids in a given year, you can count on all the rest of them finding homes in the dollar bins of local shops.
The trend now is for memorabilia. I was horrified at the thought that one of two Babe Ruth jerseys was going to be cut up and stuffed into a bunch of baseball cards. Hockey is no different. Sweaters, gloves, pads, autographs and other artifacts from the greats and not so greats are all heading into the shredder so that someone can make a premium card out of them.
I'm back and forth as to what I think of these things. By and large, I'm generally appalled by the thought of cutting up, say, Turk Broda's pads. Raycroft? Wouldn't bother me so much - mainly because he's still playing and we're not destroying something that is in limited supply to begin with and will not be created again.
The big deal now is to get a card with a "patch" and an autograph on it. Where it used to be enough to get a swatch of cloth, the whole trick now is to get a card with a piece of the crest. This is called a patch. The logo is best, though shoulder patches qualify as well. Letters off the back of the sweater are a big deal, as well. A nice-looking patch is worth big bucks these days.
Now, I had never owned one of these and wanted to see just what the big deal was. So I kept an eye on eBay and eventually scored one of these:
(that is real, honest-to-goodness Scotch tape on the plastic holder the sender put the card in. I'm not taking it out, for now.)
This is from "The Cup" - pretty much the highest end of the high end products. A Sidney Crosby rookie from The Cup is worth, at last count, a bazillion dollars. Anyone who is anyone collects The Cup, and now I had one. This is a serial-numbered, autographed, limited-edition rookie patch showing part of the "L" from "Leafs" (or "Maple").
I proudly awaited the mail day when my new acquisition would appear.
Then I got it.
I held it in my hand.
And I looked at it.
And I thought, "What a piece of crap."
(Actually, I used a different word as a descriptor, but you get the idea.)
It's a piece of foam core with a signed sticker on it. Hooray. But it's game-used, right? That's pretty cool.
Wait, what's this on the back? This isn't game used - it's from a freaking photo shoot?
Stralman may have worn this at a used car lot, for all I know.
Ye gads.
OK, so I'm old school. I'm a set builder and I hate artificial scarcity, but even I get the idea of game-used. This just doesn't cut it for me. If I have a choice between spending 40 bucks on Mr. Stralman above, or the same amount on something like this:
there is no contest. The old card wins. There's something authentic about the older stuff that you just don't get in a foam-core-wrapped non-game-used cloth bit.
But then again, here's a combined Bower/Mahovlich auto card with a hunk of wood from an actual stick on it. Oooooh - maybe I'll bid on that one....

Chairman Daniel Lipinski, who was trained as both a social scientist and engineer, noted in an opening statement that the "science of science policy" refers to "a field of interdisciplinary research that focuses on understanding how our policy decisions impact innovation and science and engineering research."
Dr. Julia Lane, NSF Program Director of Science of Science and Innovation Policy, was among the witnesses who testified before the Subcommittee. Lane described the overarching goal of the program as "conduct[ing] basic research that creates new objective models, analytic tools, and datasets to inform our nation's public and private sectors about the processes through which investments in science and engineering research may be transformed into scientific, social and economic outcomes." In her testimony, Lane explained NSF's many activities to promote research and education in the science of science and innovation policy, as well as the work of the National Science and Technology Council's Interagency Task Group.
