Research Highlight
Satoshi Tozaki, MILR '07
Research in China Made Possible by ILR International Experience Grant
I received an International Experience Grant for my independent project. The goal of the research is to evaluate how HR & employment practices of multiple national companies' impact on local HR & employment practice for females in the Shanghai area, China.
Last semester, through the course ILRIC637, I spent my time answering the following questions. What is the influence of HR practice for women of multinational companies in Shanghai? What is the impact to the local labor market, particularly, in terms of empowering women for management positions? I chose the Shanghai operation of the General Electric Company. I had interacted with the GE Women's Network to obtain quantitative and qualitative data. My access was facilitated by my 2006 summer internship in GE, where I did a project with the network.
To enhance reliability, the second stage of the study, I expanded my inquiry to the macro economic pictur. I visited the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) Shanghai Center to have interviews with Chinese researchers who studies in Shanghai and collect data on HR and employment practices, and gender empowerment in private companies in the area. Mr. Tao Wen and Mr. Yuansen Liu brought me to a local company which had imported western HR practices. I chose a Japanese organization as a host because the Chinese researchers were fluent in Japanese, which facilitated my entry in the local society. In addition, since Japanese companies have much greater presence in China than U.S. companies, I have been interested in the comparative analysis between U.S companies and Japanese companies.
JETRO connected me to the Chinese government where I had a great opportunity to sit down with a government officer, Mr. Xiaocheng Wang, the Vice Section Chief, Foreign Investment Administration in Ministry of Commerce. He shared his insightful opinions on female employment.
This research trip was instrumental in advancing my study. Based on my findings from the field work this winter, I will continue the project over this semester. The trip also helped me establish a network that should be a great asset to me in my future career.
Hong Kong? Tokyo? NY? No-this is Shanghai
I have visited Shanghai six times before this trip with the business and vacations. During my previous visits, I had always experienced some sort of difficulty in the city such as unreliable transportations, limited access to internet, and unfriendly restaurants and bars-mostly menus were written only in local language-. However, during this stay, I had been under an illusion—where I am? Hong Kong? Tokyo? Or New York? Now Shanghai became one of the world's cosmopolitans. I am so surprised that Shanghai is about to overtake other cosmopolitans in the world. I can only imagine what the next decade holds and it makes me excited!

We loved working with Graham and Ashley. They were very professional and made us feel comfortable as they took our photos on our wedding day. We love all our pictures! Pictures were the most important aspect of our wedding day and they were able to capture every moment perfectly. When we look at our pictures we feel like we are reliving the day all over again. That's not an easy thing for a photographer to do and they did it so well.
Thanks again Graham and Ashley!!

Amazing! In a word, that's how we feel about the Scobeys. Just meeting with Graham and Ashley, we knew that we lucked into meeting great people and artists. The engagement photoshoot couldn't have gone better, and the photos are fantastic. During the shoot, Graham and Ashley's calm confidence put us at ease, which comes through in the pictures. On our wedding day, the Scobeys helped set up and capture a romantic first look. Then they followed it up with wonderful photos of our wedding party, family and friends. During the ceremony and reception, we barely knew the Scobeys were there, yet they got photos of everything. We couldn't be happier with the pictures, which we will treasure. Many thanks to Graham and Ashley.

Ashley and Graham are great in capturing the precious moments of our big day! They arrived earlier than the scheduled time at our home to shoot the get-ready scenes. It was rainy that day and things were running late, so we decided to change our first look location. They were able to arrange the perfect scene for us to do the first look at home, and it appears so beautiful on pictures. They were very creative in making a lot of stunning shots even in a limited space. During the dinner and reception, Graham took many photos of us interacting with the guests and group photos whenever any guests requested. We love our wedding photos so much, and so do our parents and guests! They are always responsive to our requests. They are very personable and sweet, and it's been a true pleasure to work with them.

I don't even know where to start, if you're a bride searching for a photographer, search no longer!
We used Graham and Ashely for our engagement photos and wedding day and it was the best decision we ever made. They are awesome, so much fun, and amazing at their job. Not only are they flexible with whatever you throw at them, they do it with a smile on their face and truly have a great time. I cannot say enough good things about this husband and wife photography team.
I had friends/family members reach out to me and tell me how enjoyable it was to take photos on our wedding day with them. They aren't pushy and grumpy like a lot of other photographers I have encountered. You will not be sorry you went with them.
Also they are about the cutest married couple I've ever met. :)

There are not enough words to describe how wonderful Graham and Ashley are, both as photographers and as people! From the first second of our initial meeting with them, we felt at home. My husband and I were super nervous about being in front of a camera and they have an art for making you feel comfortable. Since you end up spending your entire wedding day with Ashley and Graham, it was definitely a major plus to have funny, personable, and caring photographers by our side! Our wedding pictures are beautiful, creative, and honestly breathtaking! We could not be happier about our end result. Graham and Ashley perfectly captured how happy my husband and I were on our wedding day! I dare anyone to meet them and see their work and not fall in love!

I used Lacey for Scobey Photography for my wedding and could not be more pleased with my wedding photos. Lacey captured my day brilliantly: all the details, all the emotion, and she made me feel like whenever I look at those pictures, I can live it all over again. Thank you Lacey for being so easy and fun to work with, and for helping me keep these memories close.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Graham and Ashley. They were so wonderful and responsive to all of our needs and questions. Our photos were amazing, and they were just so much fun and easy to work with! It is very obvious that they love their jobs and truly care about putting everything they have into their work.

Lacey was - one word - AMAZING.
I am so happy that we chose Lacey to document our wedding.
She did a phenomenal job (along with her second shooter Olga) with capturing the spirit of our wedding weekend. We enlisted her to shoot our Meet and Greet reception, our bridal party field day as well as our wedding and she did not disappoint. The photos were stunning. She captured the beauty of Savannah and why we chose such a gorgeous location and to marry in a square.
Her pics were so amazing we were chosen to be featured in Uptown's wedding issue. WE really would recommend her to any bride. Her pricing is reasonable and she is such a professional. We love you Lacey!

I worked with Lacey Dellapace of Scobey photography and I would 100% do it again if I could ahve my wedding all over. She has been nothing but a joy to work with. Her messages are full of as much excitement as yours are and she is very much a part of the moment with you. Her work is beautiful, the lighting is beautiful, she asks you exactly what you want and puts in great input herself. I could not have asked for a better weddign photographer!

I can honestly not say enough good things about Graham and Ashley Scobey. They are not only amazing photographers but also an unbelievable couple as well. We had them travel to Portland, CT to photograph our wedding which was not a problem at all. They fit in right away and felt like family. They made my husband and I feel so at ease while taking photos and truly captured some of the most beautiful moments I have ever seen. I literally have not stopped looking at our photos since we got them! Dont just take my word for it-look at their blog and see for yourselves (www.scobeyphotography.com/blog ). We cannot thank them enough for the work they did and for being the wonderful people they are. I highly recommend Scobey Photography to everyone!

Plus, they make you look amazing! We were overwhelmed by the response of our family and friends who commented on how much they loved our photographs. The Scobeys are well worth it!

I certainly cannot say enough good things about this wonderful husband and wife pair! They were the perfect choice for our engagement and wedding photography. Graham and Ashley are extremely personable, professional, full of energy and eager to make your special time exactly how you envision it. Working with them from a distance was no issue-they were prompt to respond any emails, calls, or even willing to skype in order to get details worked out. The quality of the photographs they take is stunning and you are guaranteed to be beyond satisfied with the results. We enjoyed spending time with them and getting to know them as friends, as well as our photographers. Most importantly, it was so stress-relieving to know that when our wedding day came, we did not have to worry if the kind of images we wanted were being captured...and that is a priceless feeling!

Lacey of Scobey Photography was such a delight to work with. Not only are her photographs truly works of art, but she is so fun and energetic. I thought it would be uncomfortable to pose for pictures, but Lacey's great personality quickly puts you at ease. I looked forward to chatting with Lacey about the upcoming wedding and will actually miss staying in touch with her. She is great at her job, and I would definitely recommend her!

The last time I wrote about the need to regulate the plying of electronic rickshaws in Delhi, the issue had not taken centre stage in the way it is now. The death of a 2 year old in East Delhi last week along with Delhi Traffic Police's claim that e-rickshaws have led to 29 accidents and at least 2 more deaths in the past, has made it more serious and urgent. Read more
When it comes to providing safety features in cars, and we are primarily talking of small cars here, it is a pure case of passing the buck. The manufacturers say the consumers dont want it. The consumers crib that the manufacturers dont provide it or even when they do, the cost is exorbitant. And the government isn't able to make up its mind on what to do. Read more
We all know driving in Delhi is one of the more dangerous activities one can do. In 2013, 1530 people lost their lives due to fatal accidents in the national capital, the most in any city in the country by some distance. Read more
Blame it on the burden of expectations or our rockstar Prime Minister Narendra Modi's own exhortations to rise above petty politics but the decision to allow e-rickshaws in Delhi is proof enough that the NDA 2.0 rule has started on the wrong foot. Read more
Would rural development minister Gopinath Munde be still with us if he had strapped on his seat belt on Tuesday morning?
In between all the madness surrounding the elections, news reports of two separate cars catching fire in Delhi grabbed headlines in the last few days.
In 2013-14, the most ubiquitous car on Indian roads–Maruti Alto–completed a full decade of dominance in the market. It first reached the pole position in 2004-05 when it ended the more than two decade rule of its predecessor Maruti 800. It is not a mere coincidence that as it celebrates 10 years of leadership in the year that also marks the end of the road for the M800. Read more
Globally, vehicle recalls are a part and parcel of automotive business. Every responsible manufacturer does so for reasons as grave as potential brake failures or airbag malfunctions to seemingly trivial stuff like a defect in the power window switch.
An estimated over 40 million vehicles have been recalled worldwide in the last 10 years (see table). Most of these are in developed countries like US, Canada, Mexico and Europe where there are stringent checks and balances on non reportage of defects in a vehicle.
In the last 5 years for example, recalls have become a major flashpoint in the US. In 2009, Toyota Motor Corp, which had just become the largest car maker in the world, faced a Congressional probe for delayed response to problems with brakes and floor mats in vehicles that could cause the accelerator to become unstuck. It subsequently recalled 10 million vehicles in what remains the largest such exercise till date.
In a mirror image of the Toyota conundrum, General Motors is facing much flak from US for delayed response to an ignition problem on its Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn vehicles that could prevent the airbags from getting deployed. The company apparently knew about the problem back in 2007 but dilly-dallied on its response. At least 30 accidents and 13 fatalities have been reported due to this in the last 10 years. GM now faces embarrassment and a potential million dollar penalty. A speedy response could have saved some lives.
What these instances prove, more than anything else, is that for all the technological prowess car companies harness, mistakes happen. From a Porsche in Germany to a Proton in Malaysia or Geely in China, everybody has to recall cars at some point of time or the other. No manufacturer can claim to make zero defect, perfect cars. And there is no shame in recalling a bad apple. It only shows you are responsible.
But for long, recall was considered a bad word in India. Till 2010, there are very few instances of manufacturers voluntarily recalling their cars here. The absence of mandatory recall laws meant there was no compulsion either. It created a vicious cycle. If some company went out of their way to recall a car out of transparency, it was seen as a sign of poor quality, bad practices and faced the ire of consumers. It made manufacturers cagey about recalling cars.
Nobody can claim we have perfect cars in India. In terms of quality we are perhaps not even half way there as US or Europe. And not all of it can be brushed under the carpet on price. We live with fewer features and lower safety and emission standards that bring down the price of vehicles anyway. If sophisticated factories in Germany or Detroit cannot make defect free vehicles, there is no reason to believe a factory in India can do the same. Sounds condescending, but so be it.
In the past, manufacturers would also identify defects and some would even replace the parts quietly when the cars came to the service stations for periodic maintenance. It served their purpose (a clear conscience perhaps) and to some extent that of consumers as well. But not all cars go to authorised service stations in India and so that discreet way was not foolproof. The need for a mandatory recall provision has been felt for long. And for long, it never materialised.
Thankfully though, there has been a marked change in stance in the last 4 years. Largely due to the deluge of recalls in the US and the explosion of media in India, manufacturers have become more confident about recalling cars here. The consumers today are more aware about recalls happening in other parts of the world and more willing to accept it as a goodwill gesture when it happens in India.
A decade ago, the recall of 972 units of the Ford EcoSport barely a week after its launch would have meant hara-kiri. Today, there has been absolutely no impact as consumers are emboldened by the fact that they are taking home a safe vehicle and that the manufacturer would still be working to find out if there are any belated defects even after it has exchanged hands.
Since 2010, almost 800,000 cars have been recalled in India. Last year was a watershed year of sorts with at least 11 instances of recalls. A lot of ground then, has been made. And as the Ford EcoSport's example clearly suggests–recall isn't a bad word anymore.
Yet a lot more ground still needs to be made. Our cars may not be as sophisticated as the ones in US and Europe and as consumers we may not be as paranoid as in US either, but there are still a lot of issues that need attention. Home grown car makers like Mahindra and Tata are still averse to calling their service campaigns as recalls. Famously, Tata never called its exercise to retrofit more safety elements on the Nano as a recall even when prima facie, it was one. Similarly, Mahindra vehicles are notorious for inconsistent braking. Yet, there has been only one instance when it has actually offered to replace them carte blanche.
Even on Wednesday, when Toyota recalled 6.58 million vehicles globally, its Indian subsidiary shied away from using the R word. And it happened a day after Maruti remained tight lipped about a problem in its compact sedan Dzire that merits a recall.
After four years of progression, this new found fear of the R word is not only regressive but also perplexing. I just hope it is not the start of anything more sinister.
A modern day car is a tech savvy piece of metal. And every passing year even the most mundane car is increasingly becoming savvier. Depending on what car you are in, you maybe spoilt with simple things like bluetooth telephony and steering mounted controls that do away with the need to taking your hands away from the steering wheel, to sophisticated systems like seat masseurs and Wifi hotspot that can transform your car into a spa or an office space respectively.

Early morning on Sunday, a 25 year old youth, high on alcohol and a misplaced sense of power, rammed his speeding car into an auto driver and then into a road side tea stall. By the time the Chevrolet Cruze came to a stop, two people were dead and three others grievously injured. Read more

Oak Creek - When your vehicle gets towed, it never ends well. But for one alert truck owner, a clandestine tow ended with the arrest of the tow truck driver.
According to the Oak Creek police report:
A man called police after he saw a tow truck, with no lights on, tow his truck away from the former Black Diamond grounds, 124 E. Rawson Ave., about 8:45 p.m. Feb. 21. When the tow truck left the lot, the caller followed it to the Mobil station at 13th Street and Rawson Avenue.
Police arrived at the gas station the same time as the drivers and questioned both. The caller provided police with proof of ownership of the truck.
The tow truck driver, a 26-year-old Waukesha man, gave the officer conflicting information about who had authorized the tow and could not provide any documentation that the tow was legitimate.
Police arrested the tow truck driver for theft, and he was taken into custody. He is scheduled to appear in the district attorney's office March 7.

I just figured out what I love most about Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Eve. My kids wear pants.
That came out wrong. What I meant to say is that instead of them wearing vinyl drawstring basketball shorts, they wear slacks. And whats up with these long shorts the kids wear now that come below the knee? Didnt we do this in the 70s? They were called gauchos. If these things get any baggier our boys are gonna be in a full-blown culotte.
Anyway, the genius of slacks is that once they go on, they basically mandate the rest of their look. It goes like this: After you tell them they have to wear slacks and they freak out and holler that its not fair and that fine fabrics make them chafe, you remind them that its just two days a year. And that one of the days produces a full day of eating. And the other, a new iPod.
So now they have on the pants. And nice pants require a shirt thats not made by Under Armour. And doesnt have Harley Davidson, Duck Dynasty, or Dont Tase Me Bro across the chest.
The chafing turns out to be a real thing, in that no textile has ever touched the back of their knees or the crook of their arms. So I baby powder all these sensitive areas. I think about maybe using ace bandages everywhere, but theyre walking pretty stiffly as it is. I want to take video and I dont want it to look like some weirdo Belk catalog zombie movie.
Once the shirt gets tucked in, the belt loops are exposed and now they need a belt. While my youngest swears these are holsters for his air gun, I tell him a belt will better secure the ammo. He excitedly agrees! And then all the air guns seem to go missing so weird.
Slacks with a shirt and a belt sort of make tennis shoes no longer an option. My oldest figures that his high-top basketball shoes are the way to go. I explain the concept of cankles. And I suggest a loafer that hits just above the foot. That cankle thing really scared him; hes been shooting hoops in flip-flops ever since.
They look so nice, it would be a shame not to comb out yesterdays lunch, or whatever that is in his hair. Gel holds so much better than mustard.
A V-neck sweater and a sport coat, and they go from Il Gaucho to Gucci in seconds. Then I quickly memorialize the moment. I take a video, take a picture, and this year I had them bronzed. They look absolutely amazing in my front yard, and the neighbors cant get over how nicely dressed they are.
Just wish theyd put on socks.

Smoothies can be so much more than just the standard one-part-greens, one-part-fruit, one-part-liquid cocktail, says recipe author and Bubby and Bean blogger Melissa Baswell Williams. This smoothie is slightly sweet but focuses more on greens than fruit. Depending on how much pineapple you addless pineapple equals less sweetit's also somewhat savory and makes for a good meal.

½ cup coconut water

Blend all ingredients except granola for 30 to 60 seconds. Top with granola and sip or eat with a spoon.

The House of Representatives on Wednesday cautioned operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission against allowing themselves to be used to settle political scores.
The commission was told to investigate and prosecute cases professionally, irrespective of whether the suspects were Peoples Democratic Party members or members of the rival All Progressives Congress.
The House Committee on Drugs, Narcotics and Financial Crimes gave the warning in Abuja when the Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Lamorde, appeared before lawmakers to defend the agency's 2014 budget proposals.
Lamorde was asked to to "fair to all" and to be "very professional in your operations."
Speaking on behalf of the committee, its Chairman, Mr. Adams Jagaba, said, "Don't allow yourself to be used for political vendetta. When your work affects a PDP man, treat him the same way you will treat an APC man. Let your work be professional, not political."
Lamorde, while reviewing the 2013 budget of the commission, informed the committee that the agency successfully prosecuted 117 cases last year.
He said the EFFC's total budget for 2013 was N10.3bullion, broken down into N5.8bn for personnel cost; N1.4bn for overhead cost; and N3bn for capital projects.

"Write with strong verbs" is probably second only to "Show, don't tell" within the pantheon of writing advice, mostly because strong verbs foreground action in the mind of the reader. Indeed, Future Now has long recommended that calls to action should begin with strong imperative verbs. So we were certainly pleased to see that good user interface design also recommends the use of verbs for button labels.
Just check out the examples provided by Dmitry Fadeyev over at The Usability Post and ask yourself: what's clearer?
Or this:
I agree action verbs are a must. My issue is what an action verb is and what a passive verb…is
I have audio samples I want people to listen to. I could say, 'Listen to Moses divide the Red Sea' or 'Play Audio, Moses divides the Red Sea' or 'Hear Audio, Moses divide the Red Sea'
I am not sure what a stronger action verb is. Plus do I make the whole line a text link or put the action word on a button and the phase like 'Moses divide the Red Sea' on a text link beside each other?
Suggest which action verb is better.
Audio Bible,
Action verbs = Imperative verbs = commands where the implied subject is "you." Technically, all of your examples are imperative verbs; you are speaking to the reader and 'commanding' them to listen, play, and hear. That said, if you are describing a text-based hyperlink, then your first example is probably the best, and, yes, you'd want to underline/hyperlink the entire phrase.
If you're talking about using buttons, then the second example would probably work best, where "Play Audio" is in a larger font, and where "moses divides the Red Sea" is in a smaller font (within the button) used to describe the content of the audio. But hey, this is the web, right? Why not test all three phrases?
I'm wondering what the impact of using an imperative at the beginning of the question AND on the buttons would be. Removing "Do you want to…" and just using "Save changes to xxxxx.doc?" Don't Save Cancel Save
Someone commented on the original post that the spacing between Don't Save and Cancel is a great idea because it may minimize accidental saves or don't saves – I agree this is smart. Of course I'd love to see testing for accidents on this. Any takers?
[...] the other hand, Option B does when very important thing right, that Option A doesn't: it labels with strong verbs! Rather than guessing that the magnifying glass means "search," I can look at the big [...]
I think it's fairly obvious that option B is what we're going for here. It's a battle between "what has always been" and convention, vs newer useable methods like this.
If only the rest of the application world would catch up.. ahem.. Microsoft!
I searched it on google and find this page. Its very useful many thanks.

Ching, C., C., & Foley, B. (2012) Constructing the Self in a Digital World. Cambridge University Press, UK
It has become popular in recent years to talk about 'identity' as an aspect of engagement with technology – in virtual environments, in games, in social media and in our increasingly digital world. But what do we mean by identity and how do our theories and assumptions about identity affect the kinds of questions we ask about its relationship to technology and learning? Constructing the Self in a Digital World takes up this question explicitly, bringing together authors working from different models of identity but all examining the role of technology in the learning and lives of children and youth.
Foley, B., Castillo, K. & Kelly, K. (April 27, 2013) Clinical Teaching as Professional Development for Educational Technology: Thrown Into the Digital Deep End. Paper presented at the American Educational Research Association Meeting 2013, San Francisco, CA
Much has been written about the value of clinical teaching experiences for teachers. This paper reports on a clinical teaching effort designed to help teachers learn to integrate cloud based computing into science classed (an instructional model called Computer Supported Collaborative Science, CSCS). A team of eight teachers was asked to teach a summer school class using CSCS and a specially designed curriculum. In addition to the class, teachers participated in daily reflection and planning meetings and kept a journal of their experiences. The experience was a challenge but provided a powerful learning experience for the teachers who became enthusiastic about the curriculum. The transfer from the clinical teaching to the regular classes proved to still be a challenge for teachers.

The City of Pasco Comprehensive Plan
The Pasco Comprehensive Plan is a statement of goals and policies that
outlines the community's vision for the future. The Plan is a basic reference
document that provides guidance for the development and implementation of
specific ordinances and regulations affecting the physical environment of the
community. The Plan also anticipates population and employment growth and how
public facilities and services will be provided to accommodate that growth.
The city originally adopted a Growth Management Act (GMA) Comprehensive Plan
in 1995 in response to legislation provided in RCW 36.70A. This Plan is a
revision and update of the 1995 plan, and a response to the GMA requirement that
the City of Pasco must review and, if necessary, revise the plan and any
associated development regulations. Beginning in December 2007, the City of
Pasco is on a GMA mandated track to review and revise this Plan every seven
Plan Format
This Comprehensive Plan encompasses all geographic and functional elements
related to the community's physical development. It is general in nature and
long range in its scope. The Plan is divided into two volumes as follows:
• Volume 1: Contains an introduction including a description of the
Comprehensive Plan, framework goals as mandated by state, a brief community
profile, an outline of required elements, and other related information. Volume
1 also includes the six major elements that articulate the city's vision for the
future through goals and policies organized as follows: Land Use; Housing;
Capital Facilities; Utilities; Transportation; Economic Development, and
Implementation and Monitoring.

The story itself was great! I loved Kate's struggle with leaving the CIA and becoming a housewife only to find out her old life has followed her. It kept my interest all the way through. It was a little confusing the the storyline keeps switching between different times and parts of story. I was able to get used to the shifts, but sometimes they were a little abrupt.
This book was a disappointment. I like espionage but this one doesn/t quite make it. The text was somewhat choppy and the going back & forth in time was confusing and distracting. The suspense built up in the middle and that was the best read although towards the end it became contrite with a "yeah right" conclusion. Too bad because the story and locale were interesting but the story needed tightening.
What tripe. Unbelievable characters, the writer constantly & confusingly jumping about in time & place. everyone smugly amoral. Yech.
I absolutely loved the pace and tone of the book. Great thriller in international environments. A great read! I cant wait to read more from Chris Pavone one day!
Great summer read, especially if you like international settings and mysteries....
I read this book in one sitting. It's about a woman who is tired of her life and has the ability to reinvent herself when her husband is offered a job in Europe. If you enjoy mysteries where nobody appears to be who they say they are, you will like this book. It jumps around in time and that works as a literary technique for this book.
This is a terrific spy novels with lots of twists. I don't read many of this genre but this was definitely worth reading and I look forward to more from this author.
Great spy thriller set in Luxembourg with realistic characters! Somewhat reminded me of TV show "Alias" Riveting read!
Not your run-of-the-mill espionage novel. Plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing right up 'til the end.
Terrific summer read. Told in interlocking sections that cover one day in the present and a period of months two years earlier. It's great to figure out how the two fit together. Interesting plotting--good twists and turns.

InspirationHe came as a pigeon the first time.It took a while for me to notice him. When my hands touch the keys, a mist surrounds me. Not of pleasure, or satisfaction. Not of anything negative either. Just a mist. A cool, blue mist that wraps around my hair and closes my eyes and urges my fingers to move and move and move.It was the mist that drowned out the sound of his beak against the glass. I fiddled with the end, fingers crawling toward the higher notes, and the mist began to disappear; enough for me to see the shadow of a wing slam itself into the window.My reverie shattered and I dragged my fingers on the thick dust under the sill as I opened the pane. He sat on the edge, his purple neck fluffed. His eyes were ringed yellow and his wings grey and greasy. I stared back at him, then turned to close the window when I he spoke."You asked for inspiration."***Then he was a tattoo. I didn't notice it for a while. I don't look in the mirror.

When the shell swam to shore, it kept a little bit of the ocean inside of it. And now it's yours, a little bit of the ocean, to keep with you everywhere you go. You like that?"2I come home late. As the door closes, the telephone rings. I limp to the cream- coloured telephone."Hello.""Look out the window.""Tsvee?""Look out the window, Sahi. Tell me what you see.""Tsvee, I just came home.

Contracted Pa. bus drivers still eligible for jobless benefits
February 9, 2012
School bus drivers in the state who work for private companies can continue to collect unemployment during the summer break in between school years after a bill that would have amended this law has died in the General Assembly — the bill's sponsor has withdrawn his name from the legislation. Selina Pittenger, executive director of the Pennsylvania School Bus Association, discusses with
the association's efforts to prevent the bill from progressing.
Pennsylvania district could save $875K by doubling more bus runs
January 25, 2011
The district has 38 percent of its buses making double runs; the figure will increase to 90 percent next school year by making extensive route changes, officials from School Transportation Consultants say. This, in turn, will eliminate 31 buses from the fleet and maximize the number of students on each bus.

Customer Reviews
July 2014
Thanks to Felix our driver and Manuel our tour guide we had a great day. I would recommend this tour to anyone going to Chichen Itza. Having your own driver and van was key. The ability to do what ever you want when you want made a full day tour perfect.
March 2014
We've been to the Mayan ruins in Belize (Lamanai) and Guatemala (Tikal), which are quite impressive. I was impressed with what we found at Chichen Itza. The only difference, and drawback we found in the Yucatan site was the vast number of aggressive vendors trying to sell souvenirs (mostly mass produced junk too). We found one local artist there, Efrain Cetz, who produced very high quality wood carvings. The tour will be vastly more enjoyable if you read some books on Mayan culture before you arrive.

Mostly a phrase used after a sentence. People in New York are common to use this word.

po BGizzles45 Септембар 5, 2007
The blatant yet, captivating slang used when an individual insists on his or her counterpart's understanding. However, this slang does not require a comma before, and is highly put to shame if you actually take the time to put a question mark after it.
"Say shawty i'm tryna get my money and fuck bitches and I ain't worried about yo damn child support ya heard"
"My nigga i'm just stackin' my paper ya heard"
"My nigga i'm just stackin' my paper ya heard"

Ever heard of the hype cycle? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hype_cycle
RoR has now entered the 'Trough of Disillusionment'. It's in the stars whether there will be a 'Slope of Enlightenment' for RoR.
daniel replied ago:
Darn, I have heard of the hype cycle. I was trying to remember its exact name so I could bring it up in the article but it just never happened. :-)
Jeremy Weiskotten replied ago:
The only people who seem to be disillusioned are those who had false expectations to begin with, or who expect Rails to be a golden hammer.
eelmore replied ago:
The article is about Ruby, not Rails. Ruby is already in the plateau of productivity, sir.
elucify replied ago:
The buriers aren't necessarily disillusioned. They might also be the all-too-common troll who hates everything they think is "hype", whether they know anything about it or not. Like all the people who hate "AJAX" because the acronym bugs them. Hating what the Great Unwashed love is a cheap way to look smart.
Jeremy Weiskotten replied ago:
Yeah... reminds me of a kid in high school who didn't think you were cool if you liked anything from "mainstream" bands.
larzim replied ago:
I saw that Ruby was shown to have gone up a great deal in the TIOBE index for 2006, and then it went down: http://www.tiobe.com/tpci.htm . If you look at these chartsyou can see that there is a great deal of fluctuation over time. I mostly like Ruby because I have used it and similar technologies so that I have some idea of why it could be successful. I've seen firsthand at work for instance how people can react against such thing in a prejudiced way without really knowing much about it or based on a very limited criteria etc.
adriandu replied ago:
It's hard these days to distinguish between some of the criticism of Ruby, and some of the criticism of Rails. But it seems to me that most critics of Ruby have not learned it, and I think many of them are seeking reasons not to have to do so.
Criticism of Rails, on the other hand, seems to be coming from three different camps: the people who don't want to learn Ruby, the people who work on very large applications or at large companies and who tend to criticize it from the "enterprise" perspective, and finally, experts like Zed who are disillusioned with Rails for one reason or another.
I don't care about enterprise level development, and I really don't care about people who don't want to learn new things. It's only the criticisms of people like Zed that give me much pause. And those people seem to love Ruby but just have a problem with Rails (Zed, for example, promoted Merb in his big rant, which is written in Ruby).
Learning Rails has done three very positive things for me. It's pushed me to learn a new programming language that I find inspiring. It's pushed me to approach web development from a different angle that I am finding very beneficial when working on other languages. And it's given me a tool to quickly create great web applications so I can hammer my competition.
larzim replied ago:
I looked on wikipedia and saw that the C programming language came out in something like 1978. Back in the 1980's there was alot of Pascal programming going on. Apollo computer wrote their OS in Pascal, they where a competitor with Sun for awhile. I worked at Apollo back in 1984-85. Anyway, Digital had VAX Pascal, and everyone was using Turbo Pascal on PC's. Eventually C became more used and probably by very late in the 1980's C became the obvious winner due to it having a strong standard and being portable whereas Pascal had many variants and Standard Pascal was lacking. In fact one job I had was porting between Vax Pascal and Metaware Pascal.
I think Java gained prominence because it was a departure from C++ and was more web based.
Right now there are alot of options for web development, Ruby, Java, PHP, ASP and so on. I think there are certain advantages of reasons why you could argue each of these, but perhaps it's like back in the 80's when a clear winner was not obvious for a number of years.
my interest in more focused on Ruby. I'd learn Python if I thought there was some compelling reason for me to do so, like I wanted to use a particular Python API extensively. I don't see Plone or Zope getting used as much as Rails based on the news groups.
Mostly I did alot of Perl programming a few years back because it was allready on the system and the sys admins wouldn't just let you go out and install python or something else, so Perl is what I used and it was pretty good at the time.
antych replied ago:
larzim replied ago:
I think Rails has many advantages over the others, but I'm not sure to what degree those advantages are compelling enough that everyone would feel they had to switch over tommorow etc. Other changes such as RIA (rich internet apps), flex based stuff may also change the landscape of development.
PHP is easier for front end work than Java, but Ruby is in a similar class with PHP/Perl, though it has a more extensive set of available libraries through gems. Overall, I am not sure how easy it is to predict future development changes, though I expect Rails will continue to grow and attract more usage.

In the July 25 edition of Brian Howey's Politics Indiana, Speaker Brian Bosma admitted that: "If I had my druthers, Part B (of HJR 6) would not be there. Part B raises a question. But virtually every statute raises some question." That's the part of the proposed constitutional amendment that will deny the legislature the right to pass civil unions or any other protections for LGBT families.
I'll bet he wishes that even more after the most recent Freedom Indiana poll shows that nearly two-thirds of all Hoosiers don't want any constitutional amendment passed on marriage discrimination and 57 percent specifically think that civil unions should be allowed. This isn't a statute that can be changed by the next General Assembly – it's an amendment to the Indiana Constitution.
In fact, you can tell the situation is getting desperate since Eric Miller (of Advance America) demanded that Republican legislators declare their loyalty to passing HJR 6 in their September caucus. He already knows who voted for it last time. Why the hurried push to nail them down? Could it be that they might read and understand the consequences of passing HJR 6 to Hoosier families? Maybe he knows they've figured out this is a losing proposition as each year rolls by.
Ask your Indiana representative and senator whether they can explain the legal ramifications of the phrase "a legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized." If they can't, they should probably reject HJR 6.

A play by William Shakespeare
7.30pm on Fri 28 & Mon 31 March and Tue 1 April
2.00pm on Mon 31 March and Tue 1 April
As You Like It follows one of theatre's most lovable heroines, Rosalind, a she flees persecution in her uncle's court accompanied by her loyal cousin, Celia and her court jester, Touchstone, to the Forest of Arden. Rosalind proves herself as resourceful as she is beautiful, disguising herself as a boy and Celia as her sister as they venture through the forest seeking safety and, eventually, true love.
Romance, heartbreak and suitable pairings become confused and tangled away from the strict social conventions of the court, but by the end of Shakespeare's comedy, all strife has been teased out into happy matches and merriment.
