In the beginning of the internet there were webmasters and it was not so good. Having the same person design and program was stupid, so web designers and web developers were created to split up the job. Most of the original web designers were print designers and everyone quickly saw that designing something you can click on and manipulate was different than designing for something in a magazine. So web designers were split up into pure graphic designers and a new job called interaction designers. Interaction designers knew about cognitive psychology and mental models and how to make things easy to use.
At the same time the business guys were re-discovering the idea of design as a competitive advantage, so interaction designers were further broken down into user experience (UX) designers. User experience designers took into account how easy things were to use, but also tried to figure out how to make it fun.
"Watch out Apple!", the project manager says. The design team hands off pictures of all the screen of the design with detailed notes about what does what...and then it all falls apart. See, the development team is worried about efficient database queries, clean reusable code, keeping hackers out and all the wizardry that goes into the tech side of things. They are absolutely trying to follow the designs, but they don't understand the nuances of interaction design and UX, and if making computer software fun is about one thing, its about the details.
This is where the UX Web Developer comes in. The UX Web Developer acts as an advocate for maintaining great designs from within the development team. They can speak design, psychology and code.
They are probably the most remarkable people on the planet. They are a very important part of a successful web team.
The UX Web Developer is the person that acts as the design watch dog within the developer team. The UX Developer is a fellow coder but also has a background in design and psychology. The UX Developer makes sure that the designs the developer team was given stay attractive, easy to use, and fun while taking lead on some of the designs that aren't included in page mockups (like HOW something moves on the page, not just that it moves).
Ethan Winters shoots lightning bolts out of his arse, bleeds freedom and sweats courage. He grew up in the seat of freedom, Massachusetts, and is a huge fan of the Boston Bruins, who also sweat courage, and the Boston Red Sox, who are more likely to sweat beer and chicken grease.
When he was in high school, he took programming classes at the local community college. By the time he found himself in Southern California for his undergraduate experience in Claremont, he had decided that computer science wasn't a major that would get him the ladies and he switched his focus on psychology, which later on proved to be knowledge that was great to have under his belt as a programmer.
Upon graduation he began work at a small law firm in LA that was just about to take off. The firm specialized in helping people with money in their checking account to raise credit scores. You would be surprised how many Hollywood celebrities have bad credit. This was in 2005 and 2006 so the mortgage bubble was in full swing. The firm decided the best move was to package sell their business model as a "Business-in-a-Box" offering. Ethan, the firm's principal and a couple other decision makers worked with a developer to credit a software package that could automate the credit business and started selling.
Business was brisk and Ethan was trying to figure out how to bundle some of his responsibilities to hand off to new employees. Getting on the phone with new "Business-in-a-Box" clients and showing them a variety of website templates and making custom edits was time consuming. So Ethan dusted off the old programming books and picked up PHP and re-learned Javascript to create a custom content management system that allowed for one click installs of websites with all the client's related info baked in and abilities for clients to pick a template with one click and to make edits to the website copy. The content management system is still in use today by hundreds of sites.
Software demonstrations and customer support was particularly mind-blowing for Ethan. Freshman year of college mind-blowing. Things in the software that seemed obvious to him were not to people looking at it with fresh eyes. And a lot of these people were smart people and young savvy computer users. Ethan made up a survey for current users of the software and conducted a few shotgun usability tests and came up with a list of recommendations that the firm implemented.
By this time the mortgage industry was beginning to stink and Ethan thought it wise to spread out his risk a bit and started working for the company part-time while freelancing. Ethan spent the next few years freelancing and honing his developing skills using primarily jQuery and PHP while always maintaining a deep interest in usability, persuasive design and user experience through publications like Marketing Sherpa and books by people like Krug, Norman, and Fogg. He developed numerous websites and web apps during this time. In his personal life, he bounced around from Santa Monica to the hipsters in Echo Park and then all the way back east to Brooklyn. He spent a couple months in Spain were he met his current girlfriend, Lindsay, a Syracuse alum and graphic and interaction designer from Westchester County that loves Peggy Olson.
By the time 2010 rolled around Ethan found himself in Austin, TX and by the end of that year had partnered with a graphic designer (and old college roommate) named Tom Williamson to form a boutique agency called Earthwork Media. Earthwork Media creates websites and web apps focused on usability and user experience. Earthwork Media doesn't just hand off an attractive design, but efficient and compelling experiences. Earthwork Media backs up theories on how to do this with user testing throughout our design process and leave you with a highly polished brand and fantastic website that will be effective and last.
In mid-2012, Ethan joined the Advisory Board Company (ABC) as a Frontend Engineer. ABC is a publically traded DC consulting firm that specializes in medicine and education administration. The Austin office focuses on a suite of software products to help doctors provided better care while saving both you and the hospital money. Its pretty cool.
Born and raised north of Boston, Ethan loves food, microbrews and sports. In his education (in Claremont, CA) and professional (in LA, NYC & Austin) career he has gone from programming to psychology to design and back again, leaving him as a well rounded person to have in your web development team. He works with HTML 5, CSS 3, jQuery, good old fashioned handwritten javascript, and PHP. He can work his way through an existing Ruby or Python script, but hasn't written anything production quality in them.
Textmate Sublime Text 2 is his dev tool of choice and he keeps links to GitHub, JSFiddle, and Compass in his bookmark bar. He knows his way around Photoshop, but Illustrator is his archenemy.
His personal experience and books on his bookshelf from people like Krug, Norman, and Fogg have taught him the importance of, first, making extremely easy to use software and, hopefully, making software fun.
He lives in Austin, TX with his lovely girlfriend, Lindsay, a Yankee loving New Yorker. Ethan forgives her that sin.
As of mid-2012, Ethan left the wonderful world of running his own business to join The Advisory Board Company (ABC). ABC is a ridonkulously fast growing consulting firm out of DC specializing in medicine and education. Their Austin office is dedicated to software technologies to help doctors provide better care to patients while watching the bottom line (both for you and for them). Its a pretty cool gig.
If you just can't help yourself, feel free to send Ethan a tweet to @ethanwinters.

OK we all know I am a biiiiig fan of shoes, expensive shoes. And I love me some boots, but even I have my limits.
Stuart Weitzman, a shoemaker I am quite fond of and whose PR staff is generous with the cool art of pretty shoes (making my job much easier), sent me a picture of their newest uber boot: The Swarovski crystal encrusted thigh-high holiday boot ...
5 inch heel.
22,000 crystals.
That's right TEN LARGE.
Stuart Weitzman spokeswoman Karen Ferko says the shoe designer regularly offers special, extravagant, one-of-a-kind footwear (stay tuned for a slideshow of the maker and others' most expensive shoes). When I asked if they sell, I got a one-word answer: "Yes".
Ferko said there are already requests in for the made-to-order thigh-highs, but she wouldn't say how many.
So it begs the question ...
Ciao for now ...

SEO – Search Engine Optimization
Most businesses that retain search engine optimization professionals have no idea when they are shopping around what are the most important factors that make a firm good at search engine optimization. Search engine optimization is a new field, and like many new fields without rigorous academic standards in place, many substandard practitioners in the field make it difficult for businesses to find the level of assistance they deserve, and it makes it difficult for the best practitioners who maintain ethical standards and perform the ongoing research necessary to react to changes in the field to differentiate themselves.
The easiest way for us to discuss search engine optimization to our prospective clients then is to explain what it brings to your business. Search Engine Optimization is the online part of public relations. The field does not replace public relations, but compliments it. A good search engine optimization firm has to generate a lot of buzz related to a business for two audiences. The first audience is the consumer, and the second are the search engines. The first audience is more likely to respond to rich interactive media including explanatory videos and having many opportunities and methods to contact the company. The second audience, the search engines, responds to properly used text and linking methods as well as exposure that occurs on the websites of others.
Search engine optimization takes time and investment. Because it is an important investment, prospective clients should analyze the skill set needed to successfully provide SEO services. The skills that you should look for in a SEO provider are also important for us to mention at this point, as we pride ourselves in providing a unique level of service.
The first and foremost skill in any successful business is the ability to communicate to different audiences through their writing. Clear, cogent, engaging and believable content needs to be used to present the best face of your business in this modern form of public relations. Most decision-makers are generalists, so laymen's text free of jargon with clearly defined ideas will be more engaging to readers. SEO staff must also have these communication skills for the internal communication with colleagues, clients, and third-party vendors and IT staff. Just as in any business undertaking, effective communications is essential to effective business.
The spoken word is also important, as SEO staff must be able to work with project stake holders, information technology staff, public relations and marketing departments, legal departments, and vendors. The SEO staff you are hiring should have good rapport with C-level executives as well. Internal consensus building is essential to any project where multiple parties are working together on a common goal. Initiating change involves managing change, and the firm you work with should have a keen understanding of the dynamics of working with people from a variety of backgrounds in both large and small corporations.
Search engine optimization involves a lot of link building. For search engines to know that your site exists and has regularly updated content that is of interest to others, links back to your site and your individual pages are measured by Google, Bing, and others. These search engines will rank your page according to how many times your website is mentioned and linked to with the right anchor text (hyperlinks based on keywords related to your product or service that are generic rather than related to your brand name). The more traffic from these sources you get, the more recognition and Page Rank you can have in the search engines. This boosts your search engine rankings, and once you have reached the first page for some of the searches which are relevant to your business, you may start getting more conversions to active clients. These conversions are our key measurement. When you hire a firm for search engine optimization, you are essentially engaging a public relations service, and you should track the amount you spend on search engine optimization against your gains in new clients to determine your return on investment (ROI).
These mentions and inbound links which are tracked by the search engines should come from a variety of sources. Common directories like DMOZ / Google should link to your business. Industry specific directories, telephone directories, and other local directories can often include a free link back to your site. Social network population is also a great way to provide a presence which will be noticed by the search engines. They give higher ranks according to the amount of activity of links on social networks, and without a social networking presence, it is impossible to compete. Luckily, social networking can be set up on an automated basis. You can syndicate all new content from your Website to social networks created on your behalf and then concentrate on creating new and engaging content on a regular basis while you reap the benefits. Another great source is other websites which your SEO Company has developed a relationship with. These should be a great place to have an article posted with engaging content which links back to your site, highlighting your product or service with great anchor text that is directly related to what people search for to find your kind of business. Written press releases to local news media can include link-backs (hyperlinks back to your Website, usually linked to from anchor text which is made up of your preferred keywords)and can be read by many in your community interested in your product or service. Unlike old-fashioned press releases, there is a lasting effect on your publicity related to these press releases that outlasts the readership: the remaining link back to your site, which still provides a bit of oomph for your Website from the search engines. Paid advertisement when judiciously applied can get businesses new clients for less money than traditional advertising, and when properly combined with search engine optimization, the two strategies can reinforce each other with a synergistic effect.
Another factor of great importance is that your search engine optimization team understands html standards and server operation. At the Web and I, we have intimate knowledge of the servers of Microsoft and Google which allows us to make sure you are sending the proper signals to search engines.
A word of caution is due concerning search engine optimization services. There are many in the field promising quick results, secret methods, schemes and other sensationalistic enticements. The field of search engine optimization is new and therefore without standards. There are many substandard services out there, and it pays to be cautious.
We have proprietary analytics developed that allows us to aggregate site data from a wide variety of critical sources. We know how to react to that data and create new opportunities, gradually and naturally so that your Website comes out ahead. But that data is not important to us nor do we wish to impress you with it. We measure your results in gains in clients. For us that is the only important metric in SEO.

Australian investigators have announced that the underwater search for the missing Malaysian passenger jet will shift to an area of the Indian Ocean hundreds of kilometers south of the first suspected crash site.
Martin Dolan, chief commissioner of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, said on Friday that an announcement would be made next week on where a 60,000-sq-km search of the ocean floor would be focused on.
"All the trends of this analysis will move the search area south of where it was," Dolan said. "Just how much south is something that we're still working on."
He said the probable crash site would be hundreds of kilometers south of where a remote-controlled underwater drone scoured 850-sq-km of seabed, in the first fruitless search that ended last month.
That search area was defined by acoustic signals suspected to have come from the missing plane's black boxes, which promised to be the best clue to finding Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
But those signals are now widely thought to have come from some other source.
The new search area will not be based on new data, but on refined analysis of existing satellite information from the doomed Boeing 777, after it veered off course during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8.
Vast expanse
The search area is in the vast expanse of ocean that was thoroughly swept for floating debris by search aircraft in the weeks after the plane disappeared with 239 passengers and crew aboard. No trace of plane has been found.
Dolan said the analysis of search data yielded several interpretations.
"Specialists have used several different methodologies and bringing all of that work together to get a consensus view is what we're finalizing at the moment," he said.
Private contractors are expected to start the new search far off the west Australian coast in August using powerful side-scan sonar equipment capable of probing ocean depths of 7-km. The job is expected to take up to 12 months to complete.
Two survey ships are currently mapping uncharted expanses of seabed in the search zone before the sonar scanning starts.
Dolan said the new search area would not be as far southwest of the coastal city of Perth as the initial air search had focused, near the limit of planes' range and in storm-prone seas.

MOSCOW -- Rosneft is in talks to buy oil assets from Alliance Group, business daily Vedomosti said.
Citing sources close to one of the companies and in the Russian government, Vedomosti said the talks involve Rosneft acquiring a stake in the Alliance Oil, the Khabarovsk Oil Refinery as well as a part of Alliance' s joint venture with Petrol d.d.
A Rosneft spokeswoman declined to comment. Alliance Group couldn' t immediately be reached.
Alliance' s oil assets are estimated to be worth about $7.6 billion, excluding debts, the Vedomosti said. Liabilities include a $2 billion debt by the Khabarovsk Oil Refinery to Russia' s development bank,VEB.
The Vedomosti said, citing a government source, Rosneft may buy the assets indirectly through a subsidiary.
Alliance owns 43.3% of the Alliance Oil, valued at about $560 million. The Khabarovsk Oil Refinery in Russia' s Far East has a capacity of 4 MMtpa.

Belgians have voted in a general election that could pave the way for a break-up of the country into two separate states.
The first partial results on Sunday indicated a lead for the N-VA (New Flemish Alliance) in the Dutch-speaking Flanders region.
A handful of results of pencil-and-paper voting released gave the N-VA between 23 and 32 per cent.
The first meaningful results from the 6,110 voting stations were not expected until 18:00GMT.
Opinion polls have indicated that the N-VA, which advocates the gradual dissolution of Belgium, will emerge as the winning party in the parliamentary election.
The party, led by Bart De Wever, has called for splitting Flanders and the poorer French-speaking region of Wallonia into separate entities.
Such a split would greatly affect Wallonia, which depends largely on Flemish funds.
No national parties
Voting is obligatory in the country of 10.5 million people where no political party operates nationally.
The electoral system - effectively two elections with separate parties seeking votes from the majority of Flemish and those of French-speaking voters - means at least four parties will be needed to form a governing coalition.
"We did a study of 10,000 people and found 84 per cent want the country reformed, but not broken apart."
Marianne Thyssen, Christian Democrat
Sunday's elections were called one year early, after the five-party coalition of Yves Leterme, the prime minister, fell apart on April 26 in a dispute over a bilingual voting district.
That spat has pushed the N-VA into the top position in the polls.
However some in Belgium say they favour more self-rule for the country's different language regions, but no division."We did a study of 10,000 people and found 84 per cent want the country reformed, but not broken apart,'' the Associated Press news agency quoted Marianne Thyssen, a Dutch-speaking Christian Democrat, as saying.Strict language rules determine which language is used in Belgium on everything from mortgages and traffic signs to election ballots and divorce papers.
In 2003, the country's constitutional court ruled that the bilingual voting district comprising the capital, Brussels, and 35 Flemish towns bordering it, was illegal because it violated the separation of Dutch- and French-language regions.

This Lemon Lime Cake recipe has been around forever in many different variations. I'm not sure where it originated, but this is my favorite way to make it.
I love the mix of the lemon lime flavors. Ok, who are we kidding here… I love that it is semi-homemade! Grab a box of Betty Crocker Yellow Cake Mix and a few extras, like Jello Instant Vanilla Pudding, and you will be baking in minutes.
The glaze is optional, but that's the best part of the cake, right? My preference is to bake this cake in a bunt pan. There are just some cakes that deserve the bunt pan and this is one of them.
You can use the juices of a real lemon and lime for the cake and the glaze, or the bottled kind. The beauty of semi-homemade is you can add as much or as little of your own touches as you like.
Click on the recipe card to open a new window for a printable version of the recipe.
Wouldn't this be perfect with afternoon tea sitting on a warm spring porch?
Grab a Flirty Apron and let's start baking!
Love, hugs, and making a cake when handed a lemon (and lime).

The Madeleine Brand Show for June 21, 2011
The Groupon pyramid scheme?
Scott Olson/Getty Images
A sign marks the location of the Groupon headquarters on November 30, 2010 in Chicago, Illinois.
Forget clipping coupons - bargain hunters these days flock to sites like Groupon. The daily deal site sell customers a coupon that promises deep discounts on everything from cupcakes to airline tickets. It's a great deal for shoppers. But journalist Rocky Agrawal says Groupon's model isn't so stellar for the businesses they work with and the company itself could collapse in the near future.
Rocky Agrawal wrote a series of articles for Tech Crunch on Groupon and the rise of the daily deal website.

All of the new 911 Turbo models are equipped as standard with the enhanced PDK featuring manual and automatic modes. The work of our engineers: they have yet again increased the speed and comfort with which gears are selected. For the driver, this means even faster gear changes without interrupting the flow of power. With excellent acceleration values and low consumption. With the same high level of comfort.
PDK has seven gears at its disposal. Gears one to six have a sports ratio and top speed is reached in 6th gear. The 7th gear has a long ratio and helps to reduce fuel consumption by keeping engine revs low.
PDK is essentially two gearboxes in one. This double-clutch arrangement provides an alternating, non-positive connection between the two half gearboxes and the engine by means of two separate input shafts.
The flow of power from the engine is transmitted through one half gearbox and one clutch at a time, while the next gear is preselected in the second half gearbox. During a gear change, therefore, one clutch simply opens and the other closes at the same time, enabling gear changes to take place within milliseconds.
Depending on the gearshift programme (SPORT button activated or deactivated), the gear change is optimised for comfort or for sporty driving.
With the optional Sport Chrono Package (standard in the 911 Turbo S models) PDK is enhanced by the 'Launch Control' and 'motorsport-derived gearshift strategy' functions.

There was just one camera in the room with President Obama when he announced the death of Osama bin Laden—the one beaming his address to television. Afterward, a group of still photographers was let in and the president went through the motions, walking to the podium and pretending to speechify for 30 seconds.
This is done for major events because, according to Reuters shutterbug Jason Reed, who was among those present, "To reproduce the same angle that viewers had just seen on TV, the still photographer must step right in front of the teleprompter and block the TV camera. This is the only way to do it, so stills cannot be in that position during the event. In addition, the noise made by the still cameras and the movement by the photographers themselves would be an unnecessary distraction for the president if pictures were take during the live address."
But a post on Poynter points out that the National Press Photographers Association code of ethics says photographers must "resist being manipulated by staged photo opportunities."
One final wrinkle from The Los Angeles Times, where we first read about this: "Ironically, news of the practice comes as those wire services are boycotting the GOP presidential debate sponsored by Fox News Channel Thursday evening in South Carolina. Fox News is preventing photographers from covering the event live." —PZS

So a friend of mine is looking for a cheap, versatile amp. I decided to check out a Fender Mustang III (Rev 2), I was actually really impressed by what you get for minimal $, and the quite usable tones at stage volumes (she's a bit folky).
I had ducked out to the car to grab some change to buy a pick (n00b), came back into the amp room and the guy is already playing through the amp. I did wonder what kind of guitar he'd grab (he didn't ask me what I wanted), and it was a S-type (I was cool with that).
So he hands it over and I get to checking out the amp, after a while I realize the guitar is kinda difficult to play, the action was high, it felt clunky and it was noisy (yeah it has SCs I know). So I wondered, this is a Squire right? Checked out the headstock, nope was a US model.
Sometimes I forget how good we have it, that from time to time I need to play something else to realize why I'm a PRS guy (SE or core). So folks, the grass on this side of the fence is as green as it gets (or is that the colour of the Kool-Aid I drank... Hang on, that stuff is green right?)

So here is a SQL script to work out the hourly archiving rate, for the past 24 hours .
You will need to define all the Vault Stores in this query.
USE VaultStore01
SELECT Min(archiveddate) AS ArchivedDate,
"Hourly Rate for Americas Vault Store 04" = count (*),
"Av Size" = sum (itemsize)/count (*)
FROM Saveset s
WHERE archiveddate > dateadd(hh, -24, getUTCdate ())
GROUP BY LEFT (convert (varchar, s.archiveddate,20),14)
ORDER BY LEFT (convert (varchar, s.archiveddate,20),14) DESC
USE VaultStore02
SELECT Min(archiveddate) AS ArchivedDate,
"Hourly Rate for APJ Vault Store 02" = count (*),
"Av Size" = sum (itemsize)/count (*)
FROM Saveset s

VS1.ModifiedDate AS 'Archive Updated',
MbxExchangeState AS 'Exchange State'
EnterpriseVaultDirectory.dbo.ExchangeMailboxEntry AS EME,

The Archiving State translates as follows:
0 = Not Enabled
1 = Enabled
2 = Disabled
3 = Re-Link
To view the Archiving State you can use the following:
SELECT count(MbxArchivingState) as '# Mailboxes',
MbxArchivingState as 'Archiving State'
FROM ExchangeMailboxEntry
GROUP BY MbxArchivingState
The Exchange State translates as follows:
0 = Normal

Our regional sensory scientists and trained expert panel in the US understand how to translate consumers' textural language into measurable sensory properties. This enables product developers to quickly create products with perfect textures that correspond to real market needs.
Available tools include:
The TEXICON™ lexicon
This globally relevant texture lexicon is a sensory tool that helps us translate consumer terms such as "creamy" into fundamental technical terms, such as "mouthcoating", "viscosity" and "meltaway". This drives a fast and efficient texture characterisation process.
Texture mapping
Texture mapping helps set defined benchmarks and assists navigation towards a textural goal. This sensory tool visually illustrates the textural characteristics of commercially-available products and prototypes, allowing you to understand the texture of your target application.

Throwback Thursday: Olympians, Where Are They Now?
In February 1992, we published "Olympic Gold Still Shining," a check-up on nine of our favorite Olympic champs. See what they were doing then, plus get a 2014 update.
Jackie Joyner-Kersee, 1988 Track & Field
1992: Jackie Joyner-Kersee — who won two gold medals in 1988, and a silver medal in 1984 — is revving up for the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. But her goals for the future go beyond her achievements as an athlete. Since her Olympic triumphs — she has been called the best female athlete in the world — she has established a community foundation in East St. Louis, Ill., where she was born and grew up, to help inner-city youths. Future plans: a community center for the elderly; a master's degree in communications (she already has a degree from UCLA, where she studied history). More immediate goal: to break the world record in the long jump.
2014: Jackie took home two medals at the 1992 Olympics. She didn't end up breaking the long jump record (she's currently #2 all time), but she still holds the world record for the heptathlon from the 1988 Olympics. Jackie created the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Foundation and built a youth center in East St. Louis, but, due to financial troubles, it has since closed and reopened several times. Jackie was voted the greatest female athlete of the 20th century by Sports Illustrated.

Illustration by H. Douglas Pratt
This very common, conspicuous mimid of the southern United States is known for its loud, mimicking song, often heard during spring and summer nights in suburban neighborhoods. Both sexes aggressively defend nesting and feeding territories. They flash their white outer tail feathers and white wing patches conspicuously during courtship and territorial displays. Seen often on wires and fences in towns, the Northern often feeds on berries during the winter. Monotypic. Length 10" (25 cm).
Identification Sexes similar. Adult: about the size of an American robin, but thinner and longer tailed. Upperparts gray, unstreaked; underparts grayish white, unstreaked; long black tail has white outer tail feathers; conspicuous white wing bars; white patch at the base of primaries contrasts with blacker wings. Black line through a yellow eye. Bill relatively short and straight. Juvenile: underparts can be heavily spotted; upperparts with pale edging give back and head a streaked appearance; black line through eye less distinct; eye darker.
Similar Species The loggerhead shrike is similarly colored, but note distinct shape differences, particularly in the bill; shrike lacks white wing bars and has more extensive black mask.
Voice Call: a loud, sharp check. Song: long, complex song consisting of a mixture of original and imitative phrases, each repeated several times. Excellent mimic of other bird species. Often sings at night.
Status and Distribution Common and conspicuous. Breeding: nests in a variety of habitats, including suburban neighborhoods. Migration: birds in the northern portion of range and at higher elevations migrate south during fall and winter. Birds in the southern portion of range are resident. Vagrant: birds are found casually north of mapped range.
Population Range is expanding as a result of urbanization and creation of disturbed habitats.

Made a mistake 14 months ago in my marriage. It's a mutual friend of my best friend. My best friend knew about it, it was 1 time. Months later she started a full on affair with this man. He manipulates her to the point she tried to end it 4x. She finally did... Now she accuses me of sleeping with him.i am not ... I don't know why she feels I am. She called me and I sobbed because after all the pain he caused her including separation in her family why on earth would I do that? I'm hurt and angry as hell. To have lack of care or judgement of my character. My text message from her said not to try to come back in her life and hope he was worth it. I am distraught and flabbergasted ....
|Thu, 03-28-2013 - 12:01am
Sorry but your message is not very clear. Your mistake means you were unfaithful? Was this with the same man your friend got involved later?MMMMMMMMMMMMM.
Three are too many in a relationship.Seems got a big mess, end of the afair and end of the friendship.
|Sun, 02-24-2013 - 1:34pm
Maybe he told her you were sleeping with him, in an attempt to isolate her from your friendship. Were you advising her to leave him? If so, she might have told him that. And he might just be psycho. And her, too. Hard to know with the info given. Sorry she's got you so upset. Probably a friend you need to let go.

Pretty simple design, sturdy and lightweight construction. I feel completely safe with my tire on here, the little tabs really help keep the skewer from being able to slide off. Fits my 29" tire too. I will be ordering another one soon, so I can put two tires on my roof.

2010 medal targets announced by UK SportSubscribe

Natalie Broadbent 10 March 2010
• Up to 31 medals targeted at Summer Olympic sports' 2010 World Championships, with up to a further 67 in other major international events
• Up to 99 medals targeted in Summer Paralympic sports
• Latest Mission 2012 submissions show that sports are well on track with their preparations for London 2012
UK Sport today announced the 2010 medal targets for Britain's summer Olympic and Paralympic sports. These see up to 98 medals being targeted this year across the Olympic sports – with a range of 14-31 being targeted by sports at World Championships and between 53 and 67 in European or Commonwealth Games competition. Up to 99 medals are also being targeted in Paralympic sports at a World or European level.
UK Sport sets medal ranges with sports as part of their funding agreement and to benchmark the progress each sport is making on the world stage. Based on reasoned analysis and evidence, they highlight both the best possible outcome at an agreed event for the coming year in terms of athlete performance, and the point below which the sport will judge itself to have under-performed.
In most cases this centres on their particular World Championship event. For example, Rowing are targeting between three and five medals at the World Championships in October/November.
However, for the likes of Swimming and Athletics there are no World Championship this year, so they have made other events their focus. Swimming will be targeting 35 medals at the Commonwealth Games in October, whilst Athletics will aim for between 10 and 15 at the European Championships in July.
A similar situation is in place for the Paralympics, with 17 sports competing at World Championships across 2010.
The announcement came as the latest set of 'Mission 2012' submissions, which track the latest state of play across all areas of the UK high performance system, indicated continued positive progression towards London 2012. Fifteen sports were rated as 'green' overall (nine Olympic and six Paralympic), and no sports were on 'red' on the tracker boards held at UK Sport's London headquarters. UK Sport's Mission 2012 system is now over two years old and is starting to make a significant difference in terms of identifying issues and problems faced by sports, and finding solutions to overcome them.
John Steele, UK Sport's Chief Executive, said: "The targets we have agreed with the sports are challenging but are indicative of the gradual increase in momentum towards London 2012. On paper, it is impossible to compare with the target of the previous 12 months as there are fewer World Championships in 2010, so the targets include European Championships, Commonwealth Games and World Cups in a number of sports. However, we know that if these targets are achieved they will signify a stepping up in performances and further progression towards achieving our overall aspirations in 2012. Having such targets in places allows us and the sports to chart this progress and are a well-established part of any successful high performance sport system.
"Over the course of the summer season we will hit the half-way point between Beijing and London – which psychologically starts to sharpen the mind even more. Mission 2012 is generally showing us that the sports are on track in terms of their systems and structures, and the overall picture this paints is encouraging.
"It is essential this continues and indeed further improves if we are to achieve our performance aspirations in 2012. That is where the true value of Mission 2012 comes into its own by continuing to ensure that the sports scrutinise their own operations, raise any issues and work with UK Sport and its partners to overcome potential obstacles."

Mount St. Mary's College's 2014 Report on the Status of Women and Girls in California Cites Key Challenges Facing Females
Date: Friday, March 28, 2014
Contact: Phillip Jordan
Los Angeles, March 28, 2014 – Mount St. Mary's College yesterday issued its 2014 Report on the Status of Women and Girls in California®. For the first time, the Report includes an in-depth comparison between the more than 19 million women and girls living in California and the 5 million-plus females living in Los Angeles County.
The Report, which is available at statusofwomen.msmc.la.edu, was released during a public forum at the College's Doheny Campus. A crowd of nearly 1,000 heard from speakers such as Constance Rice, co-founder of the Advancement Project, award-winning national journalist Tess Vigeland, and Academy Award® winner Geena Davis.
"Gender equality is not just a women's issue. It is a human issue, and it is an economic issue that is key to the vitality of our state," said Mount St. Mary's College President Ann McElaney-Johnson. "Only by pulling together disparate data can we see a complete picture of the current challenges facing women and girls – particularly those of color – in Los Angeles County and California."
During the event, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti announced, via video message, a new research partnership between the City of Los Angeles and Mount St. Mary's College.
"A key part of my 'Back to Basics' agenda is to make City Hall a place where decisions are based on data, and we track progress with concrete metrics," said Garcetti. "I'm pleased to announce that the City of Los Angeles is partnering with Mount St. Mary's College to develop a series of briefs that will provide data on women and girls specific to our city that will better enable my administration to identify the greatest needs and prioritize our work to address them."
Mount St. Mary's research faculty will develop reports profiling Los Angeles' female population, focusing on demographics, leadership, workforce development, public safety and veterans.
Speaker Highlights
Geena Davis, who is also the founder of the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media at Mount St. Mary's College, addressed the issue of gender equality in the television industry.
"Women – and men – of color continue to be extremely underrepresented on television. An overwhelming 85 percent of all primary characters were white and 80 percent of all secondary characters were white," said Davis, who also serves as chair of the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls. "This rate of ethnic representation on television still does not reflect the current and increasing diversity of the United States."
Tess Vigeland moderated two panel sessions focusing on the socio-economic challenges facing the region's female population and public policy perspectives on closing gender gaps.
Many of the conversations focused on the interconnectedness of issues facing women. Dr. Susie Baldwin, chief of the health assessment unit at the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, called poverty the most important health-related issue for women in the nation's most populous county: "People may think poverty is an economic issue, it's a social issue, but is it really a health issue? Yes, it is. If we could lift people out of poverty we would eliminate a lot of the health disparities that we see."
Somjita Mitra, an economist with the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation, stated that the wage gap is costing the Los Angeles economy about $6 billion. "If we were able to close the wage gap around the nation for all full-time, working women, that would increase our national GDP by 2.9 percent, which would give our economy $450 billion." That is about 14 times what the state and federal government spent in 2012 on the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families Act.
Report Highlights
Helen Boutrous, chair of Mount St. Mary's History and Political Science department, highlighted several key challenges that are identified in this year's Report on the Status of Women and Girls in California:
Other panelists and speakers included: Erika Anderson, publisher of Los Angeles magazine; Vicky Brown, founder, Idomeneo Enterprises, Inc., and board president, National Association of Women Business Owners, Los Angeles chapter; Ana Guerrero, chief of staff to L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti; Kelly Jenkins-Pultz, program analyst, U.S. Department of Labor, Women's Bureau; Sheila Kuehl, former California state senator, founding director of Santa Monica College's Public Policy Institute.
About Mount St. Mary's College

The only women's college in Los Angeles, Mount St. Mary's has a diverse student body, with 50 percent of our students the first in their families to attend college.

RALEIGH -- A fast growing student population has the Wake County School Board looking to expand. They'll meet again Tuesday to discuss plans to add more schools to the district and the money needed to pay for it.
School officials say their student body is growing by about 4,000 students each year and that's why they're taking a proactive approach to prevent overcrowding.
School administrators predict that within the next five years, Wake County Schools will exceed capacity by about 20,000 students. They say the county may have to build more than 20 schools to keep up with the growth. In addition to building schools from the ground up, many standing schools are in need of major renovations. Some schools in the area are more than 40 years old...
"If we're not building the schools now, we're only going to get further and further behind," said school board member Jim Martin.
To pay for it, the county would have to ask voters to approve a bond. The current wish list could cost about $1 billion.

George and I would love to get a smaller RV. However, a complaint we have had, and obviously many others, is the bed in Class C RVs and campers. They can't be walked around because there is no room to do that. Instead, one person has to crawl over another to get in and out and making it is a real treat. Now an RV Daily Report article tells about an Australian who has come up with a configuration that involves movable furniture and a sort of Murphy bed that solves this problem. It converts a living room into a bedroom. You can go to the website and watch a video that shows how it works.
There is still one problem. We had looked at the Safari Trek where the bed lowers down from the ceiling and the main problem for us is that we don't always go to bed and get up at the same time. The person who is up while the other one is asleep has nowhere to sit. There are always tradeoffs, so for most RVers who want a small RV, the dual use is probably outweighed by a more accessible bed and getting to travel in a smaller RV. For part-timers or full-time RVers with a homebase, this could be very nice.
How long will it take to hit the United States? I'm sure a few years, but I eagerly await its arrival! Jaimie Hall Bruzenak

Just a year
ago, Holly Branson seemed poised to follow a very different career
path from her father, British billionaire Richard Branson, who built
his Virgin empire from scratch. Indeed, the flamboyant entrepreneur's
only daughter had spent five years studying at London's University
College preparing to become a pediatrician.
Yet last summer
the allure of her family's business proved too great to pass up.
Soon after completing her studies, Holly decided to forgo her medical
career and join Virgin instead. The British scion, who is said to
be pals with Prince William, is now spending a year working in Virgin's
various groups and has already spent time in its health, fitness
and airline businesses.
Holly is hardly
the first heiress to abandon her own plans to join the family business.
Alannah Weston,
daughter of Canadian retail billionaire Galen Weston who spent years
writing about contemporary art for the Daily Telegraph and
working as a public relations executive for Burberry, eventually
started her own corporate branding business in 2003. But that same
year her father convinced her to become creative director of Selfridges,
a luxury department store chain in the U.K. he had just bought.
"I was reluctant to fold up [my business], having just started
it," said Alannah, 37. "But my family convinced me that
this was the perfect job for me."
These women
are the latest in a long line of billionaire offspring who have
decided to work for mom or dad. The allure seems obvious: lots of
responsibility at a young age, little chance of being fired by the
boss and the opportunity to contribute to the family's legacy.
But how seriously
do these women take these jobs, and how likely is it that they'll
actually inherit the corner offices, eventually run billion-dollar
enterprises and oversee thousands of employees?

The Tiger That Isn't: Seeing Through a World of NumbersBy: Andrew Dilnot (author)eBook
£7.07 RRP £8.99 You save £1.92 (21%)Buy eBook
DescriptionMathematics scares and depresses most of us, but politicians, journalists and everyone in power use numbers all the time to bamboozle us. Most maths is really simple - as easy as 2+2 in fact. Better still it can be understood without any jargon, any formulas - and in fact not even many numbers. Most of it is commonsense, and by using a few really simple principles one can quickly see when maths, statistics and numbers are being abused to play tricks - or create policies - which can waste millions of pounds. It is liberating to understand when numbers are telling the truth or being used to lie, whether it is health scares, the costs of government policies, the supposed risks of certain activities or the real burden of taxes.

43 Queen Street
Kincardine and District General Hospital was first proposed in November, 1908 by Madame Josephine Gualco, a wealthy, widely-travelled European lady who, between her many trips to Europe, made her home in Kincardine. She had purchased the Grant property on Queen Street North and proposed to donate it along with $2,500 annually for the creation of a hospital to serve Kincardine and surrounding district. The Hospital was incorporated by on December 17, 1908 under the Ontario Companies Act and the original Directors of the Corporation were Andrew Malcolm, Hugh Clark, John Tolmie, John McCrimmon and Kenneth McKenzie. On May 21, 1909, the contract was let for conversion of the Grant property with financing being covered by public subscription and grants. The charter for the Kincardine General Hospital was procured on June 19, 1909 and the first birth in the 11-bed facility was recorded on March 10, 1910. From 1911 until the final graduation in 1932, the Hospital served as a training school for nurses in affiliation with the Stratford Hospital, the first graduation occurring in 1912. Ross Robertson, a pioneer merchant, donated $2,000 in 1923 toward a new wing in memory of his mother who was the daughter of Allan Cameron, one of Kincardine's co-founders. On August 25, 1956 the Dr. John McCrimmon Wing was opened, increasing the Hospital's capacity to 44 beds. May 12, 1968 saw the opening of the East Wing, raising the capacity to 68 beds. A $2.6 million expansion was opened in 1981 and since that date, the Hospital has undergone many upgrades and renovations to maximize efficiency, including: Emergency Operating Room and Fracture Room; Decontamination Room designed to serve Ontario Hydro's Bruce and Douglas Point Power Plants (now Bruce Power), $40,000 being donated by Ontario Hydro; New Laboratory and expanded Physiotherapy and Radiology departments, the latter featuring 2 new imaging rooms and electrocardiography; New outpatient care facilities; and Renovations to original and older parts of the Hospital and retrofits to air and power supplies, medical gases and other vital systems. Due to health care cutbacks, the bed capacity has decreased over time and currently stands at 25 beds. The Hospital still stands in its original location overlooking Lake Huron as a lasting memorial to Madame Gualco, Drs. John McCrimmon and John Ferguson who took over its guidance after Madame Gualco's final return to Europe and also to the many civic-minded individuals and staff members who have contributed to its continued success.
