We just got back from Branford, Connecticut, where we shot our latest episode of Cool Running's. This time we road into Zane's World Famous Cycles, a bicycle retail store that puts superior customer service on the map. Founder Chris Zane started his business at the age of 16 and explains the ups and downs of 32 years of business that led him to his customer service policies that made him so successful today. Policies that include: never requiring a receipt for a return, even if the customer returns an item that wasn't bought at his store, price protection that allows customers to return merchandise within 90 days if they find it cheaper elsewhere, with an additional 10 percent refund, and lifetime service on all bicycles he sells. It's no secret that the value of his merchandise pales in comparison to the value of his customers.
But there is a method to his customer service madness. Chris calculated that each customer is approximately $12,500 of revenue over the course of his or her lifetime. He found that each customer will have go through various stages of their life, and the types of bicycles they use will evolve with them. From aggressive mountain bikes, to the seasoned road racing bikes, to the retirement beach cruiser, his loyalties to the people he serves will keep them coming back decade after decade. Throw in a few training wheels for their kids, and you have a business that will thrive into the future.
Our team spent two days with Chris and is his employees and they provided us with the best cooperation and flexibility that any production crew could ask for. Cynthia Salinas was well prepared and well organized during every aspect the production. She had an outstanding vision for what exactly she wanted from her team and it reflected perfectly during the execution of every aspect of the shoot. Ozren Milharcic, or as I dubbed him "the man with no shoes," assumed the role of DP took command of technical intricacies, and Antonio Neves was as congenial as ever. We would like to extend another big THANKS to Chris Zane and his outstanding team for all their help and cooperation for another successful episode. Look for it in the coming months.
The power of social networking sites has been clearly demonstrated over the past several months as the wave of revolution continues to sweep through the Middle East. A new kind of rage is consuming the streets of London, and once again, social media is on the forefront of the happenings. But this time it's different. The technology that so many ordinary citizens used to amass themselves is being used against them by the UK police and citizens in a way that we've never seen before.
Just like we've seen before, Facebook group pages are being made to keep the world up to date on the latest crimes and riots in the area. "Supporting the Met Police against the London Rioters" is a page where people have posted pictures, information, and just words of support as the authorities try to quell the violence. The UK police have established a Flickr page called "London Disorder – Operation Withern" where they post pictures of suspects in hopes the public will recognize and report information leading to their arrest. This is all pretty standard stuff when it comes to media policing techniques, but some savvy citizens have taken it a step further.
A group called, "London Riots Facial Recognition" has surfaced recently with the goal of developing facial recognition programs that take the photo's posted on the Flickr and Facebook group pages and identify by matching it with other photo's of the suspects that may be posted on the web. These were developed from a site called Face.com, one that hosts platforms for facial recognition software. Faces that appear in surveillance camera's can be scanned by this software and matched to images posted on other sites that can positively identify the suspects. The digital age has significantly reduced anonymity on the Internet, and this is the most recent and significant step in that process. Citizen journalism has now given way to citizen policing, but how safer do you feel?
Our team just wrapped up another outstanding shoot with Unilever; this time we featured their Knorr product line. World-class chef, Marco Pierre White, flew in from England to demonstrate some cooking tips and recipes using the Knorr Homestyle concentrated stock. Chef White prepared two dishes for us: Risotto and "Super Easy Sweet Potato Mash." Chef was masterful in the kitchen as he chopped asparagus with lightening speed and cut onions so fine they melted in the pan. The convenience of the Knorr stock concentrate not only saved ample cooking time, but added a great chicken stock flavor that really added to the dish (believe me I had a generous helping).
Although working with a celebrity chef and sampling the delicious fruits of his labor makes for spectacular afternoon; it was our newest member of the team that was the highlight of our day. The Sony NEX-FS100U made its NextMedia debut and it came to impress! The size of the Super 35mm image sensor is so large; you can shoot perfectly in candle light. During set-up, we cranked up the gain to +12 and there was not even the slightest evidence of noise – and that's viewing it on field monitor. Although we haven't yet push the limits, rumor has it that it can be brought up to +36 before getting any grain. At 24p, 30p, 60p, or 60i, (or go all out with 1920x1080 HD at 60 fps) the image quality looks like it was handcrafted by Jesus himself. The best part of the whole package is the price: Under $6000 for the camera body. Interchangeable lenses can be added to give you desired focal lengths.
Keep in mind that although this camera is considerably small and lightweight, it is clearly not your run and gun "backpack journalist" camera. It just isn't designed for it. The advanced capabilities are meant for style, not speed. Also, the box-like shell (and whatever size lens is attached) makes for clumsy handholding. Keep it mounted and you and the 100U will live a long happy life. From NextMedia, we look forward to pushing the limits of the dynamic platform and will, of course, report back with the latest happenings.
This week NextMedia will begin to upload the department's archived projects to our "Cloud" storage hosted by Amazon's S3 servers. I just counted 27 hard drives sitting on our shelves (and I'm sure more will surface) that all have countless gigabytes of footage, music, and interviews from projects past. Slowly but surely, I will be combing through these hard drives and outputting a Quicktime master version and clean version of each show for archival reference using the Avid DNxHD compression codec.
This is nothing new nor extravagant, rather long overdue. When you walk around each floor of NBC's News Division in 30 Rock, more than likely you will do so dodging and weaving through carts filled with every tape format imaginable. I probably wasn't born yet when producers adopted this method of conducting business, but needless to say it's antiquated in a digital age. Imagine replacing the tape cart(s) with a cloud server that can be accessed anywhere there is an Internet connection. Find your project, tape number, and import it directly into Avid without having to drag the cart to an ingest room, fill out the paperwork, wait for the tapes to ingest real time, wonder why you still can't find the footage, call ingest only to find out that they took a lunch break, go back and pick up the tapes days later. It's not rocket science. The media industry is moving at the speed of life, and life is now digital.
NBC Social Media Manager, Anthony Quintano, gave us an overview of the budding new social media platform, Google +. Google is still in its experimental stage of the new forum and it's only available through member invite; but it's quickly catching wild fire to a very exclusive audience. "This is not your Facebook audience," Anthony shared as he found out the hard way when he received some harsh replies in response to his post referencing Facebook. It seems there is a strong demographic of Facebook haters looking to branch out beyond the social media giant. So what are the differences between the two? Here's a snap shot comparison:
Friends vs. Circles
Facebook lumps all of you're contacts (friends, colleagues, family, middle school ex-girlfriend you haven't spoken to in 25 years) into one category of "Friends." Google + allows you to personalize your own categories (called Circles) in which the people of your Internet life fit into. This feature allows you to easily tailor who can view your posts. If you want to tell your close friends about your wild weekend wreaking havoc through the streets of New York while still maintaining the image of a patron saint to your grandmother, you can send updates just to that "Circle" and your grandmother would not be the wiser (at least on Google +).
Followers vs. Friends
Unlike Facebook, you do not need to be accepted by any user in order to follow their posts. Much like a Twitter feed, you can subscribe to anyone's profile and others can subscribe to yours. There are no "walls" that other users can post to; however, any one of your followers can comment on posts that you have made. This makes Google + much less intimate than that of Facebook and subscribing to many users whom you don't know is not uncommon.
Video Chat
Google+ has a video chat feature in which you can enter a video chat room of up to ten users. Take note that there are both private and public settings to this feature. The private setting allows only selected users to enter your video chat, while the public setting allows anyone of your followers to jump in. If you're a person who has thousands of "acquaintances," a public setting may subject you to the horrors of chat roulette.
One final note to make is that Google + is currently aiming this experimental phase towards people, not businesses. You won't see any profiles from companies or organizations - and if you try to add one it won't last long. This is not permanent. It is expected within the next few months for Google to open up to branding when they feel the time is right.
Remember when mom use to always make us eat our vegetables? Well the good old days are back with new recipes. We just finished our shoot with Unilever as Chef Normajean Longfield guided us through healthy vegetable recipes using their product, Country Crock. Lucy Jimenez, a suburban mother of five, invited us into her beautiful kitchen where she learned how to make Mixed Vegetables Sauté and Broccoli Rice Pilaf. These quick and easy recipes are not only ideal for a busy mother, but it is also a perfect way to involve the entire family in the kitchen.
Mairead McGurrin produced and directed a smooth production. The spacious kitchen was incredible conducive to creating lighting and camera placement options. Lucy and her children were very easy to work with, not to mention, incredibly photogenic! Big thanks to the Jimenez family for their cooperation and flexibility. Look for this great recipe and many others at www.Today.com.
We just wrapped up our two-day shoot for our next installment of Cool Runnings at Warby Parker; an eyewear company that has revolutionized the industry. CEO's Neil Blumenthal and Dave Gilboa have enticed new business growth with the mission of giving the consumer the upper hand and maintaining a philanthropic cause. The recipe for success was easy: Create honesty in product information, cut out the middleman, and give back to the global community. Most prescription glasses can cost hundreds of dollars. Warby Parker creates a line of prescription eyewear for under $100 without sacrificing quality and donates a portion of each purchase to a non-profit organization designed to provide glasses to people in need.
Greg Kaplan was flawless in his producer/director role at the showroom location in Union Square. Mirrors scattered throughout the room gave the multi-camera shoot an added challenge. Floor to ceiling windows, fluorescent lights, and the halogen light from our softbox kits gave us a mixed cocktail of light temperatures. But fortunately, the forgiving Sony V1U white balance presets gave us the warmth we needed. All-in-all, our two days with Warby Parker was a huge success! Look for it at businessonmain.msn.com in the coming weeks.
It's been a few weeks since my last post but with good reason. I just returned from Lebanon where I spent two weeks participating in open dialogue with prominent figures within the Lebanese government, religious leaders, and United Nations officials. During my two weeks, I explored a wide range of issues that plague the pivotal country in the region. Among them is the "Arab Spring" that is sweeping the area and shocking the world. Of course so many political ties have invested interest in what will happen to the regimes that fall or are in jeopardy of falling. But no matter what surfaces when the dust clears, one thing is for certain - the region will never be the same.
From a media perspective, this is a very exciting time. When we get down to the basic components of these uprisings, the seeds of spring if you will, we find that there is a whole new audience emerging that craves outward criticism of the government regimes that ruled for decades. The youth has poured into the streets in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Syria just to name a few. Facebook and Twitter are the 21st century tools used to organize demonstrations. Postings of criticism and outrage flood the public domain like it never has before. For the first time in history entire populations of people bare a non-kinetic weapon that no regime can defend against – information and distribution. The taste of freedom of expression and protest will only escalate, and once you taste it, you can't have just one. New media markets are bound to emerge as people continually seek transparency within their governments and the youth will be on the forefront of this transition, driving it into the next century. The question now becomes who will provide the vehicle.
Hello NextMedia enthusiasts! My name is Richard Dinardo, I'm a senior at New School and the newest intern to embrace the world of cutting edge media. I've cycled through four departments under NBC's News Division thus far and can confidently say that this experience will both challenge the way I've come to know media practices and stimulate my creative sense of innovation as this department will prove to perennially drive the industry into the next generation of media dissemination and consumption.
I'm no stranger to digital journalism. I've recently separated from the Air Force where I spent four years as a video journalist. I've embedded within countless facets of the Department of Defense and have been charged to keep pace with an ever-changing digital environment. Whether covering medical humanitarian efforts in Central America or jumping into convoys and rushing through the village streets of Iraq and Afghanistan, I know the importance of maintaining the highest mobility equipment without sacrificing quality and quantity.
The field of Digital Journalism requires an adaptation to the way we do business as media technology becomes smaller, sharper, and more advanced. The advent of social media forums has given everyone a voice. As Digital Journalists, we have a responsibility to stay at the forefront of social media trends and provide the most reliable, accurate, and credible information in the world. And that is what this team is all about!
I look forward to bringing my talents to NextMedia and becoming a valuable asset to a historically world-class NBC News division. I have always thrived in environments that promote creative freedom and cultivate a team mentality. There is no doubt in my mind that together we will continue to prove that complete success is a standard – not a goal. So what's next? NextMedia!

Khadija Patel: The Unexamined Massacre of the Marikana Minerstags: Guardian (UK), South Africa, massacres, Marikana, miners
Khadija Patel is a journalist and columnist with The Daily Maverick, an online publication based in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Fifty three years to the day of the Sharpeville massacre, when police gunned down 69 people outside a police station south of Johannesburg, it's a national holiday in South Africa. Like other countries, we have successfully confined the horrors of our past to museums and national holidays. Few complain about a day off. But the brutality, mindless violence, injustice and oppression that catalysed into the Sharpeville massacre is still echoed in the experience of South Africans to this day.
When the police gunned down 34 miners in Marikana last August, opposition politicians, analysts and commentators likened the shootings to the Sharpeville massacre. State officials however bristle at such a comparison. They argue it was not a massacre at all, that it was a tragedy pitting violent workers against the police, leaving the police with no other option but to shoot. Police commissioner Victoria Piyega is currently under cross-examination from the Farlam commission into the Marikana massacre. She argues police were acting in self-defence. She points out that two police officers were killed ahead of the police opening fire on workers....

Failure to push through tax and spending reforms and avoid the cliff could tip the country into a recession in 2013.
In U.S. trading on Friday, EUR/USD was down 0.13% at 1.3221.
President Barack Obama was meeting with congressional Democrats and Republicans on Friday to find a way to avoid careening over the fiscal cliff.
Investors remained parked in a wait-and-see mode as the meeting took place, which sent the dollar gaining.
While Jan. 1 can come a go without a deal, as tax hikes and spending cuts will take some time to materialize, markets will roil if U.S. leaders fail to resolve the fiscal cliff early in 2013.
Elsewhere, investors kept an eye on U.S. and European data though most attention remained focused on Washington.
In the U.S. earlier, the National Association of Realtors revealed that pending home sales beat expectations in November, rising by 1.7% after a 5% increase the previous month.
Analysts were expecting pending home sales to rise by 1.0% in November.
Elsewhere in the U.S., the Chicago's purchasing managers' index rose to 51.6 in December, up from 50.4 in November and beating expectations for a rise to 51.0.
Meanwhile in Europe, the Markit research group reported earlier that the eurozone's retail purchasing managers' index fell to 44.5 in December from 45.8 the previous month.
Elsewhere, official data revealed that French consumer spending rose 0.2% in November, more than market forecasts for a 0.1% increase and from a 0.1% decline the previous month.
Also in France, the country's gross domestic product rose less than expected in the last quarter.
The country's National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies said that French GDP rose by a seasonally adjusted 0.1% in the third quarter from 0.2% in the preceding quarter.
Analysts were expecting French GDP to rise 0.2% in the third quarter.
The greenback, meanwhile, was down against the pound, with GBP/USD trading up 0.35% at 1.6157.
The dollar was flat against the yen, with USD/JPY unchanged at 86.11 and up against the Swiss franc, with USD/CHF trading down 0.03% at 0.9131.
The dollar was up against its cousins in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, with USD/CAD up 0.07% at 0.9958, AUD/USD down 0.05% at 1.0372 and NZD/USD trading down 0.13% at 0.8200.
The dollar index, which tracks the performance of the greenback versus a basket of six other major currencies, was up 0.08% at 79.78.

Today is a world where cut throat competition in every business necessitates the use of best technologies coupled with top class employee productivity in order to stay ahead. A knowledge management system is one of the best examples of technology advancement that aids to improve employee productivity. This in turn directly impacts the profit making ability of the enterprise. This system is a kind of software that enables the storage and classification of data in an easily retrievable and understandable form. The information is stored in a central place and can be used by multiple users across the organization by running simple searches.
- Ready availability of information: all relevant information regarding a particular topic or area is available on a single click and this helps in easy, quick and most importantly informed decision making. This also aids the problem identification and problem solving process.
- Data accuracy: since the data is stored at a common place which is accessible to multiple people who can give their inputs, data accuracy does not remain questionable.
- Document management: all documents can be stored in the same format; can be numbered and versioned for easy and quick retrieval. This also ensures consistency of data.
- Knowledge sharing: data can be shared between employees across different departments and hierarchical levels.
- Avoids duplication: since all collected data can be stored and retrieved, it avoids duplication and also wastage of time and efforts spent in collection and archiving the same data over and over again.
- Increase in employee efficiency: easy availability of all required information saves time and increases the efficiency and hence productivity of employees.
- Cost Cutting: if all existing employees are able to demonstrate high productivity, it leads to the company spending less on hiring more employees for the same type of work.
- Boost in employee morale: this tool works to assist the employees in every possible format by providing all required information and as a result the employees feel well equipped to carry out the task at hand.
- Decrease in employee training time: proper and categorized data storage allows fast training schedules and employees can start delivering sooner.
- Customization: most of the time this software can be easily modified to suit the requirements of any business model.
Factors to be considered:
- Company's need for knowledge management
- Company's existing data management structure, if any
- Company's specific requirements for customizing such a system
- How the implementation of such a system is expected to change or impact the company's current business processes
The benefits of installing and employing a knowledge management system for business processes are tremendous and can greatly impact the company productivity and thus profits. These systems should thus be selected meticulously and after considering all impacting factors as well the expected outputs after installation. Surveys and reports on company productivity after installing efficient systems have clearly indicated that such systems have always had a positive impact on the profitability of organization employing them.

I had an delightful impromtu conversation on Tuesday with Glenn Roberts, founder of Anson Mills. It turns out he's from San Diego, growing up in La Jolla and Kearney Mesa — back when Kearney Mesa was all farms.
Back in the day, in addition to farming in San Diego, Glenn and his family also farmed an eight-grain rotation in the desert outside of Jacumba — with no irrigation. This was amazing for me to learn, I think a lot of people (including me) have come to believe that there's no way we can grow much food in San Diego on the natural rainfall. Plus it seems so odd (and hopeful) to think of farming grain here.
La Milpa Organica and Wingshadows Hacienda, along with many others, continue to demonstrate how we can have great local fresh produce. Additionally, a few ranches are raising cows or goats on local pasture, making local meat viable.
If we could resume the farming of grains in San Diego, we'd demonstrate the possibility of San Diego being a viable, self-sufficient community.
Plus, San Diego could really have its own pigs, raised on local grain.
Anyway, Glenn says about 5 acres is all that's needed to put in a viable rotation of heirloom grains, and if anyone in town wanted to start farming it, he'd provide the knowledge template and set us up with the seeds. And, heck, the Linkery would of course buy all the grain once it was milled.

Dear FSU Community,
Welcome to the Framingham State University Multicultural Affairs Web site. The Office of Multicultural Affairs seeks to promote an environment that is culturally aware, supportive, and understanding. The premise of multiculturalism encourages us as a community to look beyond the mainstream and explore new cultures and ideas that are different from our own. As the director, it is my responsibility to provide programming and opportunities to do that.
There are many opportunities to support the mission of this office. This can be accomplished by attending any of the numerous events sponsored by Multicultural Affairs, or joining a club such as the Black Student Union, Amigos, 10% Alliance, to name a few. For more information regarding clubs please check the Student Involvement and Leadership Development Web site. In addition, first year students can enroll in the mentor program, Relevant Advice & Mentoring for Multicultural Students (RAM2S). You can enroll as a protege (first year students only) or apply to be mentor (sophomore students and above only).
I hope you enjoy exploring the Framingham State University Web site. I look forward to meeting you at an event, through the RAM2S program, or stopping by my office. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Please join the office fan page on Facebook™ by searching FSU Office of Multicultural Affairs.
Best Wishes,
David N. Baldwin

Public Dialogue on Nanofood
On the 1st of December, the Institute of Nanotechnology will participate in a public dialogue event as expert on nanofood and societal implications.
This commissioned study is being undertaken on behalf of the Food Standards Agency (FSA) by TNS-BMRB, an independent research firm. The FSA have commissioned the study to understand consumer views as part of its response to the House of Lords S&T Committee report on nano and food. The study is being undertaken in 6 areas (London, Leeds, Norwich, Birmingham, Aberdeen and London) with 120 members of the public overall, drawn to reflect a mix of demographic characteristics.
The meeting on 1st December will focus on potential nano applications in two broad domains: the use of nano in food and its use in smart packaging. With regard to its potential use in food it will focus on food modification and fortification.
The meetings are organised with members of the general public with two experts, Douglas Robinson (IoN) and Kathy Groves (Leatherhead Food International)), to both provide information on request, and to help place the discussions in the context of the state-of-the-art (and potential future evolutions) in areas of technology development, markets and regulation.
Related IoN Webinar
Food packaging, food fortification as well as regulatory, market and consumer aspects will be further discussed in the IoN webinar Nanotechnology in Food and Agriculture, Thursday 20 January, 14.00 - 15.00 GMT.
The benefits of applying nanotechnology can be clearly seen in a field like medicine, where achieving a balance between benefits and risks has always been part of any technological advance. But what of food, where consumers are very sensitive of its content, and agriculture, which has been blighted in the past by controversies such as the debate on GMOs?
In this webinar, Douglas Robinson, the Institute of Nanotechnologys technology analyst for food and agriculture, will present an overview of some of the latest applications of nanotechnology in food and agriculture, ranging from its uses in crop protection and food production, through food processing, to packaging and distribution.
Richard Moore of the Institute of Nanotechnology will also examine what implications nanotechnology may have for risk management, governance and regulation in the field of food and agriculture.

Display Drivers Stop Responding and Then Recover...
Currently, I run an EVGA 8800gt graphics card in my computer. My operating system is Windows Home Premium, 64-bit. While playing World of Warcraft a few days ago, I suddenly received the error:
display drivers have stopped responding and recovered. <random stuff about the version of my drivers>
My screen began to fill with distortions and shapes and things of that nature. The colored sections of my game became extremely bright and "fuzzy".
At first, everything went back to normal, but over the next 5 minutes or so the same thing happened 2-3 more times and eventually my system froze. I hard shutdown the system and tried to play again. At first, the issues would not happen in Windows and would only occur if I tried to run WoW or the windows performance test thing. However, eventually, after enough errors, the screen distortion that is characteristic of this problem (which is apparently wide spread) would not go away. It is there 100% of the time, even in the POST screen, which leads me to believe my card has simply died. Specifically, a section of my GRAM might have failed. Basically, what my screen looks like could be described as a distorted version of a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, and it is on my screen 100% of the time. Windows has permanently disabled my graphics card (Code 43), and I do not have another card around to test. Also, when I try to re-enable it and I am prompted to restart; nothing changes visually, and the card still shows up as disabled when I return to Windows.
The build is approaching two years old and although I have been plagued with RAM issues this is the first time I have had display issues. I immediately googled for possible solutions to the problem because it kept occurring. I have tried the following solutions:
re-installing the drivers
reverting to older driver versions
deleting the entire partition and then reformatting (the fact that old files are retained when i reinstall had me questioning whether or not its even worth it to reinstall for reasons such as this)
removing the card itself and cleaning it (these cards are notorious for running hot and i immediately noticed it when i removed it for cleaning)
loading fail safe BIOS settings
system restore (before reformatting the first time)
Barring hardware failure, I am completely at a loss as to what might have happened to where the things I have done wouldn't repair the problem. I have no problem buying a new card, however I would be very upset if I went out of my way to purchase a new one and then install it and see the same problems. If anyone could shed some light on how I could isolate my problem I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

really? wow. that is the only piece of hardware i have replaced since i bought the system besides my RAM; it's not even 2 months old. i replaced it because i thought the RAM slots were corrupted in my old board (i was wrong, it was the RAM itself) so i bought a newer version of the same board.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I have two children @ Watersedge, for the most part I am pleased with their development, especially the 4th grade honors program. I do wish the teachers would keep up with edline, so I as a divorced father could keep up with their assignments, maybe too much to expect? I also wish that the teachers in 4th grade honors wouldnt demand so much homework,gives little time for them to be kids. I do like that they challenge the kids in the honors( gifted) program , it is very good prep for middleschool, and the FCAT grades show that. My only problem is with the second grade, non gifted program, we as parents need constant feedback from the teachers on our kids weakness' and strenghts, however,considering Watersedge is a public school, I cannot complain, in all honesty, I feel the school is better than most private schools I am aware of.
My two children have gone to Waters Edge for 5 years and I could not be happier. The teachers are terrific and it is very well run.
Excellent parent involvement this school which helps make the academics quality high. Safe secure nurturing environment. Morale among teachers not as good this year as it was a couple years ago, but teachers appear dedicated.
I think Waters edge is doing a great job with the kids, the teachers really seem to care,and the school is considered an 'A' rated school by State standards. My child is in the 'gifted' progam, depending on your teacher, the homework load is too much, often spending up to 3 hrs doing homework. A little consitency with the other teachers workload seems appropriate. However,with that said, my child is blossiming into the real world, time management.
My son has attended this school since 2nd grade. He is in the gifted program and has experienced a tremendous amount of growth. My only concern is there wasn't any continuation from 2 to 3rd grade. A tremendous amount of emphasis was placed on writing in 2nd grade and hardly any in 3rd. By the time my son went to fourth he almost had to start over.
Great elementary program, good, caring teachers, facilities are more than adequate, many after school programs.
I just finished 5th grade last year. It is a good school and from my two years spent there I say that the Strict but nice Mrs. Milano helped prepare me well for middle school. It is so easy now M.S.
Although we have only been at this school for one year, we are very happy with the teaching staff and our daughter's progress. They have been wonderful with fulfilling our special needs as our daughter has diabetes.
Close by to our home, that's a plus! Our teacher was fairly new at the school, gaining experience. Other school related activities ran very smoothly, and the front staff is great and extremely helpful!
We moved to Florida from NJ. This school is horrible. My son entered the 5th grade and we pulled him out in the middle of the year. The school is extremely overcrowded. There is no money even for portable classrooms. Palm Beach County is supposed to be one of the best school districts in Florida...hah! All they do in Florida is study for the FCAT. There is no computer program and no room for alot of other learning due to the need to teach to the test (FCAT). And frankly the private schools stink as well. We are moving out of this state because we care about our children's education.
A phenomenal school led by a great principal and teaching staff. Every teacher is dedicated to providing the best for our children. Unlike the other review I think the gifted program is beneficial to our school.
Dedicated administrative and professional staff. Clean, safe campus, consistently 'A' rated school. Strong parent involvement. Best elementary school in Palm Beach County.
Overall a very good school. Unfortunately like most FL schools their main focus is to 'teach' the students how to do well on the FCAT exam. Gifted program (this is a school district issue) should be replaced by enrichment classes.

Having the most productive Saturday, like…ever.
Party time.
Need to grab a quick bite before I meet ppl. Am near Hill Country. Hmm…
I hold you in my arms
as the band plays
What are those words whispered baby
just as you turn away
I saw you last night
out on the edge of town
I wanna read your mind
To know just what I've got in this new thing I've found
So tell me what I see
when I look in your eyes
Is that you baby
or just a brilliant disguise
I heard somebody call your name
from underneath our willow
I saw something tucked in shame
underneath your pillow
Well I've tried so hard baby
but I just can't see
What a woman like you
is doing with me
So tell me who I see
when I look in your eyes
Is that you baby
or just a brilliant disguise
Now look at me baby
struggling to do everything right
And then it all falls apart
when out go the lights
I'm just a lonely pilgrim
I walk this world in wealth
I want to know if it's you I don't trust
'cause I damn sure don't trust myself
Now you play the loving woman
I'll play the faithful man
But just don't look too close
into the palm of my hand
We stood at the alter
the gypsy swore our future was right
But come the wee wee hours
Well maybe baby the gypsy lied
So when you look at me
you better look hard and look twice
Is that me baby
or just a brilliant disguise
Tonight our bed is cold
I'm lost in the darkness of our love
God have mercy on the man
Who doubts what he's sure of
omg brandi carlile is playing in NY on 10/3.
love me some bonnie raitt.
up and working.
cleaning everything in my gd path.

Where do insights come from? Insights are based on the analysis and interpretation of information. Information can come from primary or secondary research into the consumer, brand, category or competition.
To get to an insight, start with an observation derived from one of the four areas above. Something like "many men like spicy food" or "red cars get more speeding tickets than cars of other colors." Observations are easy to come by. I bet you could think of 100 right now. To turn observations into insights look beyond the observation and ask, "Why is this?" Why do many men like spicy food? Why do red cars get more speeding tickets? The key is to find the root cause. Many times the answer is found by decoding and understanding human nature.
Why do many men like spicy food? Because it's an area of competition and esteem, withstanding the intensity of spicy food is a sign of toughness.
Why do red cars get more speeding tickets? Because, like the flames of a fire, red objects appear to move quicker and be more dangerous than objects of another color.
Good marketing is based on insight and the strategy that leverages it; essentially this is what Planners bring to the table in their work. Here is an example from a famous campaign.
Why do people litter? Because when keeping the environment clean is everyone's responsibility, there is no motivation for any one person to act. Leveraging this consumer insight, GSD&M created the "Don't Mess with Texas" campaign that positioned littering as a personal slight to every Texan with state pride.
Next time you are looking for insight, remember that an insight is simply an observation waiting to be decoded. Seek to understand the why behind the action.

Current development costs have risen from $317M to $567m and may go to $1B
Development costs have more than doubled and aren't under control for the National Archive and Records Administration (NARA)'s digital archive project, now projected to cost as much as $1.4 billion over its life cyle, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office.
Since 2001, NARA has been developing the Electronic Records Archive (ERA) to preserve and provide access to a variety of digital records. But due to revisions in the original requirements and weaknesses in applying management control, estimated development costs to complete the current phase have risen from $317 million to $567 million, and are likely to go higher, GAO said in the Feb. 4 report.
GAO estimated that completing the current development phase of the digital archive will rise further from $567 million to $762 million, or possibly as high as $1 billion.
Electronic Records Archive needs more oversight, auditors say
NARA debuting online search tool
The agency said weaknesses in applying Earned Value Management (EVM) principles likely contributed to the cost overruns, and it predicted that the situation will not improve unless the principles are applied.
"Without more useful earned value data, NARA will remain unprepared to effectively oversee contractor performance and make realistic projections of program costs," GAO said. "Overall, NARA has fallen short in its implementation of EVM to oversee and manage the ERA system acquisition."
GAO report made 11 recommendations to NARA that include:

Tsuyoshi Wada had a solid debut for the Chicago Cubs, but the bullpen couldn't hold it for the first-time starter as the Cincinnati Reds rallied to beat the Cubs 6-5.
The Cubs (38-50) used the long ball to stake an early lead for the rookie Wada. Chris Coghlan, Anthony Rizzo, and Mike Olt all homered to give the Cubs a 5-0 lead. Things were looking good for Wada to pick up his first career win.
Enter the Cubs bullpen.
Not a single reliever was able to escape without allowing a run. The Reds (47-42) slowly chipped away at the Cubs bullpen, scoring one run against each reliever. Hector Rondon (1-3, 3.90) once again struggled in a non-save situation against the Reds, as he allowed three hits and the winning run in the ninth.
After chasing the Reds starter David Holmberg after 2 2/3 innings, the Cubs found the going much tougher against the Reds pen. They allowed only four hits while striking out eight in 6 1/3 innings of relief. Logan Ondrusek (3-2, 4.45) picked up the win in relief.
Since the trade of Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel to Oakland, the Cubs are winless, dropping five straight. Clearly those two leaving aren't to blame, but the Cubs are playing uninspired baseball since the deal was made.
The Cubs continue the series against the Reds tomorrow as Dallas Beeler (0-1, 0.00) makes his second career start against the Reds Alfredo Simon (11-2, 2.78). First pitch is slated for 6:10 pm CT.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2014
Where did the English Nickless family come from? What is the English Nickless family crest and coat of arms? When did the Nickless family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Nickless family history?The Norman Conquest of England in 1066 brought much change, including many immigrants with new names. Among these were the ancestors of the Nickless family, whose name comes from the given name Nicholas. Nicholas derives from the Greek Nikolaos, which is made up of the words nikan, meaning to conquer, and laos, meaning people.
Norman surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. The frequent changes in surnames are largely due to the fact that the Old and Middle English languages lacked definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England, as well as the official court languages of Latin and French, also had pronounced influences on the spelling of surnames. Since medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, rather than adhering to any specific spelling rules, it was common to find the same individual referred to with different spellings. The name has been spelled Nicholl, Niccolls, Nichel, Nichol, Nicholls, Nichols, Nickel, Nickle, Nickles, Nicolls, Nicol, Nycol, Nuckles and many more.
First found in Cheshire, where the family held a family seat from very early times; the Nicklesss were granted lands by Duke William of Normandy, their liege Lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D.

Some of the Nickless family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 245 words(18 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products.
Many English families emigrated to North American colonies in order to escape the political chaos in Britain at this time. Unfortunately, many English families made the trip to the New World under extremely harsh conditions. Overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the stormy Atlantic. Despite these hardships, many of the families prospered and went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the United States and Canada. Early North American immigration records have revealed a number of people bearing the name Nickless or a variant listed above: John Nichols, who immigrated to Virginia in 1607; Thomas Nicholls, who settled in Virginia in 1623; Elizabeth Nicholls, who arrived in New England in 1635.
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Fide sed cui vide
Motto Translation: Trust, but in whom take care.
The Nickless Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Nickless Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

good for thick curly hair

I purchased this product for my boyfriend, but I tried it and decided to keep it for myself! I have long-ish thick curly hair and it works great! It provides a decent amount of structure, without making my hair crunchy. I have tried a LOT of products and they either have too much or too little hold for my thick curly hair. Don't let the "man's line" marketing fool you--you will not smell like a man! I also have tried the Aubrey Organics Mandarin Hair Jelly and I do not like it as much as this product.
our favorite for short, coarse hair

My fiance loves this product for styling his short, coarse hair. It holds his hair in place without creating the "wet look", and it doesn't flake as the day progresses. I had been bugging him for years to stop using hair "glues" and hard hold gels, but he wouldn't give them up until he found this product. Now he can't imagine getting ready each morning without it! I love the results.
Great hold, smells good too

My husband had been using the same $2 drugstore hair gel for years and I finally convinced him to try something more natural since he uses it every day. This one had good reviews so we tried this and he loves it. It holds his hair well so he can spike it and we agree that we prefer the manly scent of this one over the bubble-gum smell of the cheap "chemical" gel he used to use.
Finally found a good natural hair gel

Love it, styles my hair just like I want it. Soft hold and sure feels good that its natural.
Light fragrance

I'm always looking for stuff with lighter or no fragrance as heavy fragrance bugs me. I like this stuff, it's pretty tolerable and it works great.

Fateful fifth: Rams erupt for seven-run inning against Falcons
By Brad Fauber - email@example.com
STRASBURG -- Monday's Bull Run District quarterfinal game between No. 2 seed Strasburg and No. 7 seed Central had all of the makings of a back-and-forth battle headed down to the wire.
But Strasburg's offense came alive in the fifth inning and erupted for seven runs to rally the Rams to an 11-5 win over the Falcons.
"We knew it was going to be a tough game, it's a rivalry first of all," said Rams junior Tyler Hott. "And the district tournament implications just fulfills the game a little bit more, and then we just came out here and did our best and got the 'W' tonight."
Strasburg trailed Central 5-4 entering the bottom of the fifth inning before the Rams' bats exploded, aided by a questionable call and some inconsistent mound work by the Falcons' pitchers. The first seven Strasburg batters reached base and scored in the inning.
Central starting pitcher John Plunkett walked the first two batters of the inning and then gave up an RBI single to Rams senior Collin Cook (2-for-3, two RBIs) that tied the game at five-all.
Ryan Murphy walked to end Plunkett's day, and the Rams caught a break when Brad Hough, running for Cook, was called safe at third on a questionable call on Jalen Doman's sacrifice bunt attempt against Falcons reliever Hayden Bauserman to load the bases.
Brady Kibler then slapped an RBI single to right field, and Murphy scored when the ball was mishandled in the outfield.
"We took advantage of some of [Central's] mistakes and then it kind of snowballed on them, I think," said Rams coach Jeff Smoot. "To be fair to our kids, we had some pretty good at-bats in there too."
Mark Smoot then reached on a bunt single, and Ryan Smoot hit a sacrifice fly with one out to center field to give the Rams a 10-5 lead.
Bauserman (two innings pitched, three runs allowed, five walks, four K's) walked the next two batters to load the bases again, and Cook worked a walk to score Mark Smoot to give Strasburg an 11-5 lead.
"We knew it was going to be a good game. We just wanted to put hits together and get the win," said Cook. "It was great, we just wanted to keep it at zero outs [in the fifth] and everybody just keep hitting the ball. We wanted to get as many runs as we could."
Central (8-12) jumped on the board first in the top of the first inning when Sean Semones (1-for-3, three runs scored) reached on an error to begin the game and scored on a groundout by Ryan Rodriguez.
But Strasburg (15-6) was quick to answer as Hott hit a two-out, two RBI home run to left to give the Rams a 2-1 lead in the first.
"[Plunkett] threw me soft off the breaking ball, and he kept picking Todd [Dean], so I knew he was wanting to throw a fastball to me after throwing a breaking ball," Hott said. "He threw it right down the middle, and I just happened to have the big hit in the inning."
Central responded with two runs in the top of the third as Anthony Helsley scored on an infield single by Bauserman, and Rodriguez fisted a single into center to plate Semones to give the Falcons a 3-2 lead.
Strasburg retook the lead with a pair of runs in the fourth as Jalen Doman hit an RBI double and Mark Smoot laid down a bunt on a safety squeeze to score Doman.
Aaron Doman started on the hill for Strasburg and tossed four innings to get the win. Tyler Doman pitched three innings of relief for the Rams and gave up two runs.
Central took a 5-4 lead in the top of the fifth as Hott's throw to first on a routine grounder flew into the stands along the first-base line and allowed a pair of runs to score.
"The wheels came off a little bit," said Falcons coach Donn Foltz. "It just wasn't meant to be. [Strasburg] laid down perfect bunts and had some balls go their way. That's just the way it is."

On Our Own was a sitcom broadcast on CBS as part of their 1977-78 schedule. It featured Lynnie Greene as Maria Bonino and Bess Armstrong as Julia Peters, two employees in the Bedford Advertising Agency in New York who also share an apartment. Toni McBain (Gretchen Wyler) was their boss, while April Baxter (Dixie Carter in one of her first network primetime roles) and Phil Goldstein were their coworkers.
On Our Own was filmed on location in New York in front of a live audience, which was somewhat unique for a show of its genre during the late 1970s, as most sitcoms were typically taped in Hollywood.

"We owed the state and I didn't want to give them my money any sooner than I had to," said Doug Potter of Brighton. "That's pretty much how I do everything. Last minute. I'm a procrastinator. I put it off and I put it off. It motivates me to get things done," said Jerry Kelly of Rochester. The Jefferson Road post office was the only one in the Rochester area open late. Window service and roadside service ended at 9 p.m. The post office said the crowd has been smaller than in previous years because, according to Supervisor Tom Lavin, two-thirds of Americans are choosing to e-file. "People have computers out there. We provide a secure method of paying your taxes," said Tom Lavin, Supervisor of the U.S. Post Office on Jefferson Road. "We're post marking them. We're giving certificates of mailing. We're doing certified for those who want it. So we're offering that service for people." If you didn't make it to the post office by 9 p.m, you can still use the 24-hour kiosk. As long as you get your federal and state returns or extensions in by 11:59 p.m. on April 15, it should make it to Uncle Sam right on time. United States Postal Service

Corey Simms: Moving on From Leah Messer With Jenelle Evans, Nikkole Paulun?by Free Britney at . Comments
Leah Messer was heartbroken when she and Corey Simms divorced.
Imagine how the Teen Mom star feels about the father of her young twins trying to get in co-star Jenelle Evans' pants? To say nothing of how stupid it is for his own physical and mental well-being, that's just a harsh move by Corey!
Insiders say he's "hitting Leah where it hurts the most" by trying to get his freak on with Jenelle, who, to her credit, reportedly wasn't having that.
"She was shocked he would hit on her, and she immediately told Leah," a source close to Leah reveals, but Corey wasn't about to stop just yet.
After Jenelle Evans' rejection, Corey tried to get with 16 and Pregnant star Nikkole Paulun. Sources say he was more successful this time around, too.
"They're hooking up," reveals a source.While other Teen Moms are blasting Nikkole and Corey on Twitter, Leah Messer is trying to stay above it all. "Corey and I have two kids to raise," she tweeted.
"We have to get along for our children."
Even so, the source says Leah can't help but be upset: "She was livid when she discovered that Corey took their twins to the zoo with Nikkole."
The guy also reportedly got Amber Scaggs pregnant in the brief time he and Leah have been apart, though that rumor has not been confirmed.
Short story? It's ugly for Leah.
well shut up and get back together with him
Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your vouafrite justification appeared to be at the net the simplest factor to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people consider worries that they just do not realize about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest and also outlined out the entire thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thank youThat is really fascinating, You are an overly professional blogger. I have joined your feed and look ahead to in search of more of your fantastic post. Also, I have shared your site in my social networks!
ya'll are stupid
Furreal? Why are y'all tryna get w.corey? Hahah u must b dumb ain't gna happen.. yeaah he's a total stud but odds r girls he's not interested
Ok, really everyone needs to know that first of all marriage is hard i was married and had a kid very young and I have been where leah was emotionally and even fucked up know one could be harder on her than herself atleast for me that was the case I am remarried and i still regret the pain I caused my ex husband even though he was emotionally abusive thru out the whole marriage for some reason you want them to give you the respect and love that they never will . I think Cory and Leah could have worked it out with lots of therapy and where is robbie in all this all he wanted was a piece of ass sorry but its true
I don't care because Leah cheated on him. Neither of them is perfect. That being said, he needs to date less and parent more. If he must date, choose one decent girl to focus on. Leah has done that.
Corey u can do better.. Leah cheated two times and is going to marry another guy and is pg again Corey bby come to a real country girl... all about camo bby.
Facebook.... Sarah braswell west
Most of this crap going around about corey is just that, crap. Jenelle is hardly believable when shes a proven liar on the show. Its all a bunch of rumurs leah prolly got started so ppl wouldnt focus on the real reason for the split: her spreading her legs like a cheap hooker. Corey has proven over n over again what a great dad and great person he is so him going around with all these girls is completely opposite of who he is and what he believes. Im sorry corey but leah was the biggest mistake of your life. You got two beautiful girls out of it but that was it. Once a cheater always a cheater. You cant make a ho a housewife, even tho you tried
corey i just wanted to say that you a very good dad and i was wanting to maybe start slow and see where it goes?I have 6 kids but we are finacialy set so you can fb me at jennifer winterland seymour branscum which it shows im married but im not Im 32 and i have my tubes tied we just put that i was married for an ex bf who wouldnt leave me alone you can check out my pics and see if you wanna at least be friends.
i love how you guys are thrashing how cory is acting but leah is the reason why they broke up because she cheated on him so just remember that befor you go blasting on him

Twin Virtues: Inequality of Outcomes & Equality of Opportunity©
LimeSpot: Own Your Experience.
Leveraging Social Networks for Profit.
Marrying the product portfolio of brand name firms with the personal profile information on Facebook.
The LimeSpot enabled revolutionary new sales channel.
Ultimately, the most successful societies find the balance between the twin virtues of inequality of outcomes and equality of opportunity.
The new politics must marry the twin virtues of unequal outcomes and equality of opportunity.
When too few get too much everybody ends up with less.
Can it be that striving for equality of opportunity however imperfect the process not only benefits the individual but also creates benefits for the society as a whole that are unintended but wonderful?
Economics must be a 'moral enterprise' as much as politics claims to be. Economic outcomes need to be framed in terms of right and wrong not just efficiency if only because these often align in surprising ways.
My vision of Canada is that any Canadian child from a family of limited circumstance can expect to have a chance at lifetime of unlimited opportunities.
Tax policy should be founded on the principle of generating steady tax revenues sufficient to maximise environmentally sustainable economic growth in order to fund fair government.
Public policy should be designed to decrease inequality before the law and increase equality of opportunity.
Capitalism is not the problem; the problem is what we do with capitalism.
Content is always more difficult to argue than conspiracy.
Let the state regulate and the market operate (most things).
Welfare strategies are best designed as a hand up not as a hand out.
Political debate should not be fact free fighting.
Explanation lasts longer than eloquence.
Always favour empowerment over dependency.
The most enduring public figures are embraced for the causes they fought for and not the concept of themselves they hoped others would remember them by.
Find your voice and don't be the echo of somebody else
Feminism is about women living their lives on their own terms, marshaling the resources of the society to make that possible, and men embracing this as vital to a successful society and their own liberation.
