Essentials of Developing an Organizational Learning Culture
This program will explore the ways in which you can help to create the kind of culture in your organization that maximizes learning and results in continuous performance improvement. Today, managers and trainers need to think beyond the classroom. Formal training experiences no longer meet the needs of 21st-century organizations. Employees must be learning constantly in order to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to be successful in our fast-changing, digital world. Managers have a critical role to play in making this happen. You need to be able to create an organizational culture in which learning is a core value and made integral to work life.
Introducing Human Performance Improvement Certificate
Applying the principles of Human Performance Improvement (HPI) in an organization is a proven way for getting results. In this program, you will learn how to use the ATD HPI Model, apply the three critical components of HPI, link organizational goals to human performance, outline a strategy for finding and addressing performance gaps, and describe a process for evaluating the impact of your HPI solutions.
This course is the first prerequisite of ATD's industry-recognized Human Performance Improvement Series Certificate.

Chapter 3 : Three
|Rating: 15+
|Chapter Reviews: 6
Background: Font color:
She winced as the memories of the previous night began to come back to her. Between falling over the troll leg into Remus' arms, mistaking his actions for flirting, listening to Sirius' 'advice', tripping over the troll leg again, and – how could she have forgotten! – showing up at his house snogging Lupin, the only thing she wanted when she realized he actually would be staying for dinner that evening was to escape and help Molly with the cooking. But she had been such a clumsy mess that day—all due to Remus, if she may add—that Molly didn't want her near the kitchen.
She couldn't let go of the disapproving look she had gotten from Remus over dinner. Pig snout and all was when she caught eyes with him over Molly's meal. With and uneasy nod, he turned back to his conversation of Goblins, leaving her down the table listening to more farm animal requests from Hermione and Ginny.
With a resonating 'humph', she lifted her feet off the desk and leaned forward to try to organize some of the endless stacks of paperwork. The work of an Auror had been forced to nothing with the alleged return of Voldemort—with Fudge trying to convince the Wizarding world there was nothing going on, it meant none of the Aurors were able to do their day-to-day fieldwork; it would put up the impression that everything truly was 'just fine'.
It was probably better off she was here instead of helping The Order. With how much of a mess she had caused between waking up Mrs. Black's portrait, and the whole snogging—
"Remus!?" She dropped the stack of papers as she noticed Remus Lupin walk outside her door, in an intent conversation with Scrimgeour.
"—you know we'd love to have your help, Remus." Scrimgeour's apology seemed forced even to Tonks as she snuck around her desk. "Dolores, however—" The distain in his voice wasn't missed as he gave Remus an explanation. Tonks scrunched up her nose in displeasure at the mention of the new senior member of The Ministry. She had only met the woman once, and already felt much irritation towards her.
"Understandable," Remus muttered with a surprisingly accepting tone. Tonks continued to follow as Remus went on, "It's not the first and it's certainly not the last time it has happened."
"With all the rumors going around the last thing The Ministry wants is another tarnish on their backs by hiring – well – no offence, but, one of your type." Scrimgeour at least seemed to roll his eyes at the working of his superiors.
"What's wrong with his type!?" Tonks quickly brought her hand up to her mouth as she accidently made her presence known.
"Tonks!" Scrimgeour frowned as he realized she had been listening in, "I have to assume the only reason you're following me around the office is to turn in your reports on the Goblin involvement of the first war."
She came to a stop as the realization dawned on her that the reports were long lost in the mass of scrambled paperwork cluttering on her desk. Avoiding another scowl from her boss, she turned to Remus instead. She couldn't help but grin when she saw him fighting back to laugh at her and Scrimgeour's exchange.
Turning back to Scrimgeour a moment later, Remus broke the silence; "Thanks for meeting with me, Rufus, and for the consideration." He then turned to Tonks and held out his hand; "It was good to see you, Tonks."
"Yeh," Tonks garbled out as she tried and failed to keep a professional manner. She met her hand with his and gave him a firm handshake, before spinning on her heel and heading back to her office. Tripping over her large boots, she stumbled through the frame before slamming the door shut.
Sirius would be thrilled when Remus told him all about her latest blunder; she grimaced as she replayed the interaction in her head. She had only tripped once, so that was a bit of an improvement—and she hadn't fallen! Big improvement.
She couldn't deny the feelings in the pit of her stomach that she had been having since the kiss. Even if the thought of her embarrassed misperception made her cringe every time, the way he had given a small, half-second smile before the shock sank in was enough to make her stomach tingle. He probably didn't even notice he did it, she thought to herself. But it had been there. And if he wanted to believe he didn't mean anything by the 'I like the red'—he'd be lying. He was intelligent, and so kind— How he was friends with Sirius, Tonks wasn't sure.
They hadn't discussed the matter since. She hadn't really figured they would talk about it that night, so the anxiety of the meeting tonight was creeping up on her as she continued to dig through the papers on her desk.
She caught sight of the crimson curls she had chosen for the day in the mirror as she leaned forward. Sitting back up, she turned in her chair and scrunched up her nose at them. They had looked alright in the dimly lit mirror of her bathroom, but in the artificial fluorescent light of the Ministry they looked right dreadful. She scrunched up her nose and thought for a moment, before imitating the deep chestnut color of her tiny office's door. Catching the green she had chosen for her eyes, it no longer matched so she set out to change those too. Opening them wide, she watched as flecks of brown filled them into a hazel color. She twitched her nose, adding a few flecks of amber before she was looking into replicas of Remus' eyes. Giving a satisfied smirk to the mirror, she continued to dig through the mountain of papers on her desk to find those damn reports.
For nearly failing the 'Stealth and Tracking' portion of the initial Auror examinations, Tonks was proud at how effectively she had managed to avoid talking to Remus that afternoon. She managed to avoid any glances at lunch by filling the farm animal requests of Ginny and Ron Weasley. She had to give some credit to the fact that Remus seemed to be spending most of his time off in one of the many rooms of the Black house talking to Sirius, but she only had the meeting left to get through before she could head home to safety.
"Tonks, do you have a minute?"
She was quickly reminded why she had almost failed 'Stealth and Tracking' as she turned around.
"Remus! I didn't know you were here today!" she tried and failed to act surprised.
He was nice enough to ignore the fact that they had exchanged hellos when they first arrived, and had sat at the same lunch table that afternoon to explain; "Yes, well, you'll be seeing a lot more of me soon. With things falling through at the Ministry today I've decided to give in to Sirius' persistent badgering to move here with him." His tone was full of detest as he snuck a glance down to the old curtains covering up the portrait of Walburga Black.
"Well, at least she'll have someone to wail on besides me." Tonks smiled as she tried to lighten up the mood.
Remus gave her his small, crooked smirk and said, "I think Sirius still gets it the worst." Gesturing down the hall he added, "Meeting's about to start, shall we?"
Once they arrived in the meeting room, Tonks couldn't help but smile to herself as she accepted the chair Remus pulled out for her. Her stomach jumped a bit as he took the seat next to her, opposite Sirius. Ignoring her cousin's suggestive glances, both of them listened intently to Moody's introduction.
Sirius was in the greatest mood in a long time at the meeting. His moody whining had been getting old, and Tonks had to assume it was because his childhood friend would be moving in that it was brighter. This way, when Harry left for Hogwarts – pending his innocent sentencing – he'd have someone to spend his time with.
That was, of course, if Harry was allowed to go back to Hogwarts. As much as Remus tried to explain to The Order over the next few meetings that the law was on Harry's side and he had nothing to worry about, Tonks was still nervous for him. She was at the Ministry every day; she herself could see how things were altering since the return of You-Know-Who. At this point she knew keeping her head down and sitting at her desk pretending to file paperwork was the best option. With weekly inspections of the Auror Department from Dolores Umbridge and Percy Weasley, she knew the Minister was getting suspicious of her and her fellow Auror's involvement of 'Dumbledore's secret army'.
Over the next few days the Order meetings hardly varied. They would start with Mad-Eye's introductions and assignments of who would be on guard in the Department of Mysteries that week, and follow up with different members presenting any news or changes in allegiances or laws.
Tonks' afternoons away from the Ministry were spent more and more frequently at the Black house. As much as Sirius felt the need to bicker constantly with Molly about everything in Harry's life, she had taken a liking to her. She even took the step to volunteering to help with the cleaning and cooking to have a female figure to befriend.
Okay, so part of it may have had to do with the fact that Remus had officially moved in to Grimmauld Place, and she may have wanted to seem not so much of a klutz, and more helpful in his eyes. Though the pair hadn't discussed Tonks' accidental belief of Sirius' joke, they were slowly rebuilding an acquaintance as they spent more and more time together. His moving in had provided for extra work though, as Sirius finally agreed to clean out one of the upstairs bathrooms because of another permanent tenant.
Molly had left for the Burrow that day; she said she needed to bring more clothes for her kids but Tonks suspected she needed a few hours of alone time from the business of the Order meetings. Leaving Tonks in charge, she dictated that she'd like the bathroom cleaned out by the time she got back.
"Now then," she looked from Harry to Ron to Ginny – Hermione was downstairs getting the twins and Sirius in order to clean one of the many bedrooms – "Ginny, you and Harry can work on…" she paused as she snuck a peek into the bathroom. It was dark, so she waved her wand to turn on the light and instantly tried to fight back the bile forming in the back of her throat. It looked as if someone had a fit or something, and defecated all over the walls… the floors… and even the tub. "You guys work on the floor and the sink." She paused to suppress a wretch in her stomach as she turned to Ron, "We'll work on the wallpaper and the other fixtures."
Tonks lead the task force into the grungy old bathroom, holding out her wand and pretending to look brave and unphased by the nightmarish looking mess. She jumped a little as she thought she saw the toilet lid lift, but as it stayed still she shook it off and turned towards Ron.
"Since you can't use magic, start with the clippers at the wallpaper; it should help with the smell. Get it in the bin and I'll vanish it.
"Yeah, alright," Ron nodded and grabbed for an old pair of scissors to start pulling down the stained flowery wallpaper.
She snuck a peek back behind her; Harry and Ginny were laughing as they took turns scrubbing at the floor. Tonks couldn't help but smile when she noticed Ginny with the smallest blush.
The clunking of the toilet lid happened again, this time every one of them heard it and shot to their feet. Once she tore her eyes away from the now still toilet, she realized that Harry, Ginny and Ron had all flocked behind her to hide.
"You guys are Gryffindors!" she pointed out with a laugh, "I'm a Hufflepuff! Why am I leading this army?"
None of them answered as the toilet started to shake violently. Unconsciously she backed away and nearly plowed over Ginny as the lid started to open.
"We can't use magic!" Ginny shoved Tonks forward by herself.
"It's… It's just a toilet!" She tried to sound confident as she took a step forward now that the toilet had stilled again. When she finally was in arm's length, she slowly reached forward and lifted the seat—
"URRAGH!" Something green and angry looking flew out of the toilet. She only managed to hear Ginny scream (or was it Ron?) for a second until it and wrapped itself around Tonks' head. In a moment of stupidity, she dropped her wand to try to pull the thing off of her.
"Ginny! Ron! Harry!" she shouted for help as the three teenagers stood in shock. Harry seemed to be panicking as he moved forward to help her, but Ron and Ginny had started to laugh.
"It's just a Ghoul!" Ron squeaked out between laughs, "They're harmless, Tonks!"
As the thing on top of her head began to dig through her violet hair and smelly, musky water dripped down her forehead, she turned to Harry and pleaded.
"Help me!" She shouted as she reached up again. Grabbing the Ghoul's slimy flesh by what she thought was the middle, she yanked again and whimpered when it held on tightly to her hair.
"Tonks!" Ron interrupted her and started to laugh, "It likes the purple!"
She restrained herself from cursing at him as she continued to pull at its middle. Harry, still looking concerned, finally snapped out of his trance and rushed over to help her. It seemed if Harry was the trick; at the notice of his mop of black hair the Ghoul finally let go of Tonks' hair and jumped off of her. It made a beeline for the door, straight in between Ron and Ginny.
"Stop him!" Tonks shouted for Ron and Ginny to grab for it, but the Ghoul was too slimy and too quick. It slipped through their fingers and continued out the hall.
Ginny and Ron finally stopped laughing as a crack came from down the hall, immediately followed by a soft thud.
Harry was the first one out the door. "Professor Lupin! Thanks for that."
Tonks cursed to herself as she looked frantically around the room for her wand. Catching sight of herself in the dirty mirror, she winced as she noticed the murky toilet water was still slicked through her hair. She was sure she smelled as bad as she looked and needed to change that if she wanted Remus to take her at all seriously.
"Where's Nym—Tonks?"
If it wasn't for the fact that she could practically see the cartoon stench lines flowing off of her, she could have had the chance to be happy he was looking for her. Instead she spun away from the door, frantically trying to find where her wand had fallen in the commotion.
She scrunched up her nose as she spotted it. Covered in the same sloppy mess as her hair, it had somehow rolled across the floor and landed itself in one of the slop spots the Ghoul had caused. Wincing, she bent down to pick it out of the mess.
She whirled around to Remus' voice as her wand cleaned itself off and doing so, missed her footing. As she slipped in another wet spot and fell into the dirty bathtub, she sighed to herself as she met eye contact with Remus. Luck really wasn't on her side.

Well, today's the start of San Francisco Critical Mass Week 2012.
Michael Krasny of KQED Forum will kick things off with a one-hour show on the history of Critical Mass.
And then festivities will end, of course, this Friday with the big 20th Anniversary Ride the evening of September 28th, 2012. (Not that you'd know it from the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition website's "Chain of Events" section, where all info about CM* is now censored.)
Suddenly surrounded by bicycles:
"It started with a bike ride in San Francisco on Sept. 25, 1992. About 50 people cycled in a pack along Market Street, hoping to earn some respect from drivers who sometimes ignored them or edged them off the road. They called it the "Commute Clot." Today it's known as Critical Mass, a movement that's spread worldwide. Supporters say it promotes cycling and the rights of bicyclists. But critics say it is illegal, clogs traffic and antagonizes drivers. We talk about Critical Mass' 20th anniversary, and its effects on the city.
Host: Michael Krasny
Chris Carlsson, co-founder of Critical Mass who was part of the first ride on Sept. 25, 1992, and has since participated in Critical Mass rides in Milan, Vancouver and Porto Alegre, Brazil

Similarly, Chrstina Olague, Mayor Ed Lee's hand-picked recruit for District 5 Supervisor, gets endorsed over Julian Davis even though SFBC members actually favor JD. The SFBC is basically a quasi-government agency now, so it's very afraid of seeming to say something negative about certain members of the City Family. It's also afraid of hurting the chances of its officers someday getting jobs / health care directly with SFGov / SFMTA. Anyway, that's why the SFBC is basically a SFGov kiss-ass these days. It will lobby San Francisco government, certainly, but that's about as far as it wants to go. (Think about it – who would the SFMTA endorse for Mayor?)
The Apple Retail Workers Union just had its first birthday. Here are the deets, from last year:
Cory Moll, a worker at our busy, busy Union Square Apple Store, is starting up a (can you guess by now?) UNION.
Oh noes!
See? Check it:
"Work Different," it says:
It's not much yet, but Cory's been getting national (and international) attention the past few months.
And folk art – there's folk art already:

Hey, why doesn't somebody, you know, in local media, look into this situation?
(Consider that a challenge to you, personally, if you want.)
All right, Apple workers, rise up and "Work Different."
This is what it looks like when an Apple Store opens in the 415 – people seem genuinely happy, but who knows…
Well it's the talk of the town: August 6, 2011 is Virgin America Day at AT&T Park, so all attendees will get a Virgin America 2 for 1 flight voucher. So if you're into the Phillies…
But dynamic pricing appears to be at work, so don't be looking for any of those $1 seats (that come with $10 in fees) that the Giants offer sometimes.
And, oh yes, August 8th, 2011 is Virgin America Day in the 415, so that's why City Hall will turn red at night for a few days. (Just a guess, but I don't know how else you'll be able to tell it's VA Day 11.)
And Virgin A will is a having a $49 a ticket sale on some flights. All the deets, and there are plenty, are below and after the jump.

Giant AIDS Ribbon on San Francisco's Twin Peaks Commemorates the 30th Year of HIV/AIDS
SAN FRANCISCO, May 24, 2011 –For the first time ever, a massive red ribbon appears on the side of Twin Peaks to mark the 30th anniversary of the first reported cases of AIDS in the United States. Organized by San Francisco AIDS Foundation, the ribbon was installed by more than 100 community volunteers to honor San Francisco's legacy in fighting HIV/AIDS and to raise awareness of the importance of knowing your HIV status and getting proper care.
"This ribbon is a bold reminder to the entire world that HIV/AIDS is still an issue that urgently needs our attention," said San Francisco AIDS Foundation CEO Neil Giuliano. "We have made tremendous progress in the fight against the disease over the past 30 years, but our work is not done. We believe even one new infection is one too many, and we will continue to give people the information and services they need to remain healthy and take care of the people they love."
Every day in San Francisco, two more people are newly infected with HIV. More than 56,000 people are infected every year nationwide. Alarmingly, rates of new HIV infections are rising among gay and bisexual men nationwide, the only risk group for which this is the case. San Francisco AIDS Foundation conceived the red ribbon to reinforce its commitment to improving the health of the community through increased HIV testing and prevention efforts, and vital services that ensure HIV-positive people can access treatment and receive high-quality care.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the first cases of the virus that would be known as AIDS on June 5, 1981. San Francisco was the first city in the country to experience epidemic levels of the disease. Today there are close to 16,000 people living with HIV/AIDS in San Francisco.
"San Francisco has always been a pioneer when it comes to HIV/AIDS," said San Francisco Supervisor Scott Wiener. "From the early days of the disease, the city responded with courage to save lives and change the course of the epidemic. Today the ribbon on Twin Peaks is an extension of that legacy and sends an important message that San Francisco will always be a leader in the fight against HIV."
"I am so proud to be part of this historic effort to raise awareness," said volunteer Mike Shaw, who helped to install the ribbon. "This ribbon is a reminder that in San Francisco we take care of everyone in our community. We have always been a compassionate city, and that will never change."
The ribbon is made out of 25 tarps. It is 225 feet long and 165 feet wide, and is visible from points across San Francisco and the Bay Area. It is scheduled to remain on Twin Peaks until June 19th.
About San Francisco AIDS Foundation
San Francisco AIDS Foundation works to end the HIV epidemic in the city where it began, and eventually everywhere. Established in 1982, our mission is the radical reduction of new infections in San Francisco because we refuse to accept HIV as inevitable. Through education, advocacy and direct services for prevention and care, we are confronting HIV in communities most vulnerable to the disease.

Empire's version of Calloway's singing and gliding back step dance move, known as "The Buzz," brought gales of laughter and screams of delight from the enthusiastic audience. Empire and other children ages 4 to 12 were part of Miraculous Foundation Christian Center Church's presentation of the "African American Xperience," a dramatic portrayal on Feb. 26 of the lives of 20th century African Americans leaders by children, ages four to 12. Performers were cast in period costumes against stage props decorated to illustrate seven historic African American communities. Film footage showing each figure was streamed through church's video system, interspersed between the children's acts. Among the historic people and places represented were Harlem in New York City and Allensworth, Calif.; writer Langston Hughes, portrayed by Cinque Barnes; author Zora Neal Hurston, played by Nairobi Barnes; singer Billie Holiday represented by Jireh Mathews; singer and actress Dorothy Dandridge played by Londyn Tuttle; band leader Duke Ellington played by Isaiah Zoller; gospel composer Thomas Dorsey played by Emperor Hall; and Lena Horne, singer and actress, portrayed by Zye Wells. Miraculous Foundation Christian Center Church, located at 1642 Fruitvale Ave. in Oakland, is co-pastored by Drs. Patricia Scott-Brooks and Jenee Scott.Share this:ShareFacebook Filed under: Articles

Abstract: Theories based on optimal sampling by the retina have been widely applied to visual ecology at the level of the optics of the eye, supported by visual behaviour. This leads to speculation about the additional processing that must lie in between—in the brain itself. But fewer studies have adopted a quantitative approach to evaluating the detectability of specific features in these neural pathways. We briefly review this approach with a focus on contrast sensitivity of two parallel pathways for motion processing in insects, one used for analysis of wide-field optic flow, the other for detection of small features. We further use a combination of optical modelling of image blur and physiological recording from both photoreceptors and higher-order small target motion detector neurons sensitive to small targets to show that such neurons operate right at the limits imposed by the optics of the eye and the noise level of single photoreceptors. Despite this, and the limitation of only being able to use information from adjacent receptors to detect target motion, they achieve a contrast sensitivity that rivals that of wide-field motion sensitive pathways in either insects or vertebrates—among the highest in absolute terms seen in any animal. 2013-12-31T13:30:00Z Chemotherapy-induced diarrhoea is associated with a modified microbiome in cancer patients http://hdl.handle.net/2440/86104 Title: Chemotherapy-induced diarrhoea is associated with a modified microbiome in cancer patients Author: Stringer, A.M.; Gibson, R.J.; Bowen, J.M.; Logan, R.M.; Al-Dasooqi, N.; Keefe, D.M.K. 2008-12-31T13:30:00Z Motor unit activity after eccentric exercise and muscle damage in humans http://hdl.handle.net/2440/85547 Title: Motor unit activity after eccentric exercise and muscle damage in humans Author: Semmler, J. Abstract: It is well known that unaccustomed eccentric exercise leads to muscle damage and soreness, which can produce long-lasting effects on muscle function. How this muscle damage influences muscle activation is poorly understood. The purpose of this brief review is to highlight the effect of eccentric exercise on the activation of muscle by the nervous system, by examining the change in motor unit activity obtained from surface electromyography (EMG) and intramuscular recordings. Previous research shows that eccentric exercise produces unusual changes in the EMG–force relation that influences motor performance during isometric, shortening and lengthening muscle contractions and during fatiguing tasks. When examining the effect of eccentric exercise at the single motor unit level, there are substantial changes in recruitment thresholds, discharge rates, motor unit conduction velocities and synchronization, which can last for up to 1 week after eccentric exercise. Examining the time course of these changes suggests that the increased submaximal EMG after eccentric exercise most likely occurs through a decrease in motor unit conduction velocity and an increase in motor unit activity related to antagonist muscle coactivation and low-frequency fatigue. Furthermore, there is a commonly held view that eccentric exercise produces preferential damage to high-threshold motor units, but the evidence for this in humans is limited. Further research is needed to establish whether there is preferential damage to high-threshold motor units after eccentric exercise in humans, preferably by linking changes in motor unit activity with estimates of motor unit size using selective intramuscular recording techniques. 2013-12-31T13:30:00Z

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - State Rep. Michael Jackson of Baton Rouge has returned to the Democratic Party, after becoming an independent three years ago in a failed bid for Congress.
Jackson switched back to the Democrats on May 31, according to records filed with the Louisiana Secretary of State's Office. He had been an independent since 2008, when he lost the congressional race.
The lawmaker's move back to the Democrats comes before Jackson plans to run for the state Senate in this fall's primary election.
The party switch leaves the 105-member House with three independents and boosts Democratic ranks to 47 members. Republicans hold a majority in the chamber.

ARLINGTON — James Stewart has won so much in AMA Supercross, he knows when to cruise across the finish line.The winner of 47 career races kept his bike on the ground and rolled it nice and easy over the finish ramp, capping a dominating victory Saturday night at AT&T Stadium that gave him his second victory in two weeks and pushed him within 14 points of the standings lead.The 28-year-old Florida rider became the third-winningest racer in Supercross, one behind Ricky Carmichael. Jeremy McGrath is the all-time leader with 72.Im so happy. Im so happy, Stewart said. I cant take this victory. Got to thank everybody the whole team. Thanks, everybody. Back-to-back. East-West.Stewart won last week in San Diego and also had runner-up finishes in Oakland and Anaheim as the series wrapped up its season-opening West Coast swing. In the past six races, he has two firsts, a seventh, two seconds and a fourth.It doesnt matter, Stewart said of the points standings. Got to keep riding like we are. If we do that, well be all right.Ryan Dungey, who took the holeshot, had the lead until Stewart who had been stalking him from the start completed an aggressive pass on the inside line of the tight fifth turn. One turn later, Dungey had the lead back, but only for seconds. Stewart recovered and held it for the rest of the race.We got off to a good start, Dungey said. That holeshot is always helpful. James got around us. Tried to follow his lines, and he picked up. Wish I could have followed more on his tail. He rode awesome.Stewart said he was just hoping for a smoother ride than he had experienced in practice and qualifying.Hoped we rode better in the main event. We did, he said. It was fun riding against my buddy Ryan. Always clean races.Justin Barcia was third.Wish I could have rode better, he said. Rode really tight. Wish I could have given James a run for his money.Points leader Ryan Villopoto was fourth.Rookie wins 250ccRookie Adam Cianciarulo opened the East Lites season with a resounding victory in his first race, winning by 5.3 seconds in the 250cc class.The 17-year-old from Port Orange, Fla., got a break on the fifth lap when top qualifier Martin Davalos crashed out of a jump, erasing what had been a 2 1/2-second lead and allowing Cianciarulo who won the holeshot but gave up the lead by the time the first lap was complete to go to the front.I couldnt be more pumped, not just for me, but for everybody who stuck behind me through the good times and bad times, he said. Its taken a lot of good days and bad days to get me here.Blake Baggett of Grand Terrace, Calif., was second, settling for that spot after mountingadam c only one brief challenge. Davalos rallied to finish third.Just made a mistake, he said. When I hit the ground over there, my bike was pretty banged up. I ended up crashing again. Was running really well the first couple of laps, and I made a mistake. Im human. I was able to salvage third.He congratulated Cianciarulo.Such a positive kid, Davalos said. I like being around him.

Interdisciplinary Research Teams Study Biodiesel
In every obvious way, biodiesel is a much more environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum diesel. However, KSC Environmental Studies researchers have found that there's a difference in the chemical composition of biodiesel and diesel exhaust particulates. An NIH-funded study drawing in student researchers from Environmental Studies, Chemistry, Biology, and Physics is determining whether or not those biodiesel particulates present a health risk.

"I chose Spanish because I like the language and it will be very useful in the future, when looking for jobs and such and I picked SPDI because I really like the sustainability piece. I'm really into design and art so combining those two seemed like the best option."

Eight-Treasures Qigong
with Paul Olko
The Eight Treasures are a series of short exercises that can be practiced by anyone at any level of fitness. The movement sequences are patterned on nature, such as the "white crane washes its feathers" and "the sleeping Lion turns its head." It is a combination of bodily exercise and internal chi movement. It brings great vitality to the body, mind and spirit and provides a good foundation for body coordination and longevity as well as a strong spirit.
People with severe health problems can benefit from practicing the breathing methods and placing less emphasis on the physical aspect. Once health improves, the more physical part of the exercises are emphasized. Those who are already in excellent physical condition benefit by developing a strong center through the abdominal chi and a more harmonious flow of energy.
The Eight Treasures is a form of Qi Gong that has been passed down to the Ni family from the Yellow Emperor through the tradition of the Integral Way. It is also called Pa Kun Dao In (八公导引) which means "Channeling Exercise of the Eight Old Respectable Ones" or Shen Jia Ba Jin Duan (仙家八景图), which means "Eight Groups of Exercise from the Immortal School."
The Eight Treasures works on all parts of the body and activates all twelve channels and the eight extraordinary channels (these refer to energy pathways particularly addressed by acupuncture and Chinese medicine). It takes between 20 and 50 minutes to perform the entire sequence of movements, depending on your speed and the number of repetitions chosen.
Eight Treasures Qigong can be practiced by anyone of any fitness or meditative level.
Paul Olko is a Naturopath, Herbalist and Asian Bodywork Therapist. He has been associated with the NI Family Traditional practices since 1989 and travels to Los Angeles each year to advance his own practice.
He is certified by the Chi Health Institute in the NI family's Eighteen-Step Harmony-Style Tai Chi. and has been a yoga teacher since 1972.

THIS IS ARGUABLY the most difficult time ever for meeting and incentive planners. In the past few months, since finishing the March/April issue of Insurance Conference Planner in late February and going to press with this issue in late April, there hasn't been a minute of stability in the travel industry — or relief from worrisome world events. No sooner did the war in Iraq start winding down than the spread of SARS began to cripple international travel. Change is happening so fast that it's ...

Hawks taking stock at All-Star break, and it isn't pretty
Adam L. jahns ON THE blackhawks January 27, 2011 11:34PM
Updated: September 24, 2012 6:25AM
By today, the Blackhawks will have scattered for the All-Star break.
Defenseman Brian Campbell will head to Aspen, Colo., for a short vacation. Others, such as winger Viktor Stalberg, will make last-minute plans, while others will spend overdue time with their children.
It's a chance to get away, to not think about hockey or dwell on all the problems of this season. Will Campbell even watch the All-Star Game?
''I hope not," he said, smiling. ''I won't be watching too much.''
But while he and others will have time to relax physically and mentally, the Hawks' All-Stars won't.
Coach Joel Quenneville, forwards Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Patrick Sharp and defenseman Duncan Keith will be on their own to field questions about the Hawks' unspectacular and unexpected 26-20-4 record when the U.S. and Canadian media descend this weekend on Raleigh, N.C.
Why have you struggled at the United Center? Why has your penalty kill dropped to the bottom of the NHL? Are your struggles because of a lack of chemistry? How have the new players fit in? Why is the defense struggling? Why can't the team put together a full 60 minutes? Are you guys tired? Which player do you miss the most from last season?
Why is the defense struggling? Why can't the team put together a full 60 minutes? Are you guys tired? Which player do you miss the most from last season?
The scrutiny already has increased in Chicago. Doubts have set in, and finding answers has been a struggle. The Hawks often sound as baffled by their missteps as those who ask about them.
They say they're still a good team in the making.
But it's time to ask: Are they?
Fun times?
The Hawks are seventh in the Western Conference and face a tough road just to stay in the playoff hunt.
General manager Stan Bowman has said he won't hesitate to make a trade to improve the team, consistently indicating that center and defense are two areas he's always looking at. He won't sacrifice the future, but making the playoffs and excelling in them still are expected. So there's pressure.
Quenneville was asked after the Hawks' last loss — 4-2 on Tuesday to the Minnesota Wild — if he would be able to enjoy All-Star weekend.
''[It'll] be a different mind-set when you're there,'' Quenneville said. ''When you're there, you have to enjoy it. At the same time, it's not the way we envisioned going into it.''
That, of course, would be with back-to-back losses at home. This season has been a challenge, Quenneville admitted.
''Every season and every game is different as a coach,'' he said. ''We've had a lot of good days here the last few years. This year has had more tests as far as how we're going to get back on track. I welcome that challenge."
The struggles have been tough to explain. It was thought that the Hawks would endure some of them, but this many?
One night, they play like the world-beaters they were last season. The next, they're beaten by cellar-dwellers.
''We show signs we're ready to take off, then we lose back-to-back home games, which slows you down,'' Quenneville said. ''You have to sit there and think, 'What can we do better?' That's got to be our mind-set — that there's ways of getting better.
''When we play a fast-speed game, we're much better. When we slow down and look for plays, we become victimized more by other teams being patient.''
The only thing is, that speed disappears for stretches and sometimes for games.
Why? Maybe that's a personnel question for Bowman.
Quenneville said these Hawks are comparable to last season's, although many will argue they're missing the in-your-face bravado provided by departed players such as Dustin Byfuglien, Adam Burish and Ben Eager.
''As far as technically how we play, we have a very comparable team game,'' Quenneville said. ''The pace of our game is the part we're seeing some progress in. It kind of appears to be at the pace we had last year."
There will be comparisons to the 2009-10 team this weekend. It's inevitable. And the Hawks will try to deflect most of them. But there are plenty of negatives to inquire about right now.
Is it hard to have fun at the All-Star Game after such an up-and-down first 50 games?
That's an easy one: Yes.

From the window of a fire-engine red trolley, Danny Chamoff serves up a sizzling heap of smoky, cubed tri-tip on a grilled bun, topped with crunchy coleslaw and a zesty chipotle sauce.
This is Tips Tri-Tip Trolley, a new food truck stationed on West Napa Street in front of the Scooteria. Chamoff, the "lead tipster," works as the right-hand man to Glen Ellen owners Susie and Andrew Pryfogle and manages a team that runs the trolley dinner service every Thursday through Sunday from 6 to 10 p.m.
Tips Tri-Tip Trolley is among more than 60 farmers and vendors who will be at the Valley of the Moon Certified Farmers' Market (most commonly known as the Tuesday night market) that resumes today, May 6.
The idea for the trolley came to the Pryfogles several years ago and they started serving up their popular sandwiches, or "tri-tip sandos," at regional farmers markets and events. Susie Pryfogle wanted to use a trolley instead of the normal truck in homage to the vehicle's importance to Bay Area culture.
Last year, they served tri-tip at the Tuesday market, sans the trolley, to build a following. Now, after just two weeks of being an up-and-running mobile restaurant, Tips will be at the market each week with its flashy red trolley.
Chamoff, who has a design background, said the trolley will also be getting a more complete look with the addition of a large artwork wrapped around the body. While the trolley is getting finished, Chamoff noted, it will be parked at its permitted station in front of the Scooteria. However, after that, the trolley will become more mobile and park in other places – outside city limits to avoid needing extra permits – on a varying basis.
Chamoff said the best way to find out where the trolley will be is to check out its up to date schedule on the restaurant's website, tipstritip.com. In addition to dinner and market service, the trolley will also travel around for lunch service, and is available for events.
Menu items range from $3 to $11, Chamoff said, adding that prices had to be increased to account for the tax of being classified as a "mobile restaurant" since the trial run at last year's market.
All of the trolley's food is locally sourced from the Glen Ellen Village Market in a partnership with owner Barry Shone. The trolley's staple meat, which begins with cubed and specially seasoned beef sirloin, is grilled on high heat for optimum flavor and succulence, Chamoff explained, in a technique perfected by owner Andrew Pryfogle. The team also dishes out smaller tri-tip portions on skewers, a vegetarian veggie bowl and a fusion bowl – the veggie bowl with tri-tip. A new item, which Chamoff said is "constantly selling out," is the truck's "tipster fries," which consist of crisp sweet potato wedges that are best paired with the chipotle sauce. There is also grilled corn and "street corn," a gourmet take on the traditional Mexican food cart snack, that features grilled corn dipped in a light chipotle sauce and rolled in a spicy cotija cheese with a bit of cilantro.
For sweet treats, the mobile restaurant offers Glen Ellen Star ice cream in prepackaged bites. "It's the only place you can get this outside of the restaurant," Chamoff said.
But Chamoff's favorite item isn't part of the official menu and will soon be known to only the most devout customers on the restaurant's "secret" menu. In order to learn what it is, Chamoff said, customers need to sign up for the newsletter via Facebook or the website.
"We are really gearing toward being a gourmet food truck," Chamoff said, noting he wants to hear feedback of what customers want as the trolley develops and expands its menu.
The popular evening market in the Plaza – known for transforming downtown Sonoma into a community celebration of local artisans and merchants – features a wide variety of local produce, foods and crafts and aims to highlight the diverse, "high quality agricultural products of the local community," according to the market's mission statement. Many market patrons set up picnics in the Plaza park and enjoy the weekly market entertainment. On the second Tuesday of June, July, August and September, Sonoma Valley Jazz Society will sponsor jazz performances in the Grinstead Ampitheater.
For its opening celebration, tonight the market will feature a special ribbon-cutting ceremony. The Jami Jamison Band will also perform from 6 to 8 p.m.
The evening farmers market runs from 5:30 to dusk through Oct. 28 in the Plaza park. For details, visit vomcfm.com.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
