Details for Certified Scrum Product Owner Class
This course will be delivered in English with a Chinese interpreter, Bill Li, for specific clarifications. Mr. Li is the Managing Principal of UPerform Consulting Group. As an active and experienced Scrum consultant in China, Mr. Li is the Chinese translator and co-translator of the 2 Scrum books written by Ken Schwaber and "User Stories Applied" by Mike Cohn. As a fluent Mandarin speaker, he is going to provide exceptional additional value to participants' learning.
The 2-day Certified Scrum Product Owner class is suitable for those who are responsible for setting product and financial direction on a Scrum project. While current Certified ScrumMasters are welcome to attend, this class should not be considered as a next step after taking the CSM Class, but instead should be viewed as an alternative to the CSM Class. While no experience is necessary, attendees should have some familiarity with Scrum. A great place to start is by reading our Scrum overview, or by getting a copy of "Agile Software Development With Scrum," by Ken Schwaber and Mike Beedle. For more product-specifc material, read "Agile Estimating and Planning" by Mike Cohn. Click here to view a class outline.
After successfully completing this class, participants will be registered with the Scrum Alliance as Certified Scrum Product Owners, and will have on-line access to the class training materials for one year. Participants can also claim 14 PDU's with the PMI.
BEFORE registering please read about our discounts.

does this workshop encompass the 2010 conference theme, Changing
Faces of the Movement?
The 2010
conference theme of Changing Faces of the Movement is meant to
stimulate thoughtful dialogue and discussion around the changes, challenges
and successes the domestic violence movement has undergone since its
beginning over 30 years ago.
We are
no longer a small movement of radicals working out of the trunks of
our cars and sheltering victims in our own homes. The umbrella of our
movement has grown to include the voices and influence of many cultures,
ages, faiths, backgrounds and genders. We have become more colorful,
savvy and organized politically, culturally and intellectually than
when this movement began. Our response is no longer singular in focus
as we have learned that combating domestic violence includes addressing,
analyzing and responding to the multitude of issues that factor into
it. Read
the full definition of the conference theme here.
As you
complete your workshop submission, we encourage you to keep these thoughts
in mind. All submissions will be analyzed for relevance to this and
other NCADV philosophies.
will be holding 5 topic-specific track sessions over the course of the
conference. The track topics are human trafficking, leadership, child
custody and domestic violence, men as allies in ending violence, and
empowering young people.
choose the theme, if any, with which your submission would most closely
fit. You may choose more than one theme if needed.

does not mean your proposal will be rejected).

to model true diversity and support groups traditionally marginalized
by racism, homophobia, classism and many other oppressions, NCADV asks
that you define how you personally have been affected by such marginalization,
should you feel comfortable doing so. Please know NCADV reserves the
right to give special consideration to presenters identifying with traditionally
marginalized groups in effort to give voice to their experiences and
provide a diverse forum that reflects NCADV's overall constituency.

Report a Problem With A Review
of Distillery - Rochester, NY
Complete the form below to tell us about the problematic review for Distillery, which says:
"This may be a great sports bar and restaurant but craft brewing is definitely a sideline here. As a brewpub, it is disappointing. Three house beers on tap, one of which was a reasonably good lager. Hard to find the house taps in between the Bud, Coors Light and other mass produced beers though. I guess the Empire Brewing Co. is a tough act to follow."

Hydroponics is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions instead of soil. It is not allowed under organic standards.
Plant nutrition is based on the activities of living organisms in the soil. Research shows that crops raised on soils rich in humus and biological activity are more vigorous and suffer little or no disease, and that animals reared on such crops are largely disease resistant, even to traditionally infectious diseases.
The Soil Association is interested in ensuring that farming is both sustainable and also produces healthy food. While it might be possible to make a case that certain hydroponic systems are sustainable (this means not using any agro-chemicals, as that involves great use of oil), we believe that you would lose out on the health benefits - particularly in the long term.
For example, intensive farming can actually be likened to hydroponics, in that the soil is used simply as a substrate for the receipt of nutrients in solution and soil biological activity is suppressed in such circumstances. Since the introduction of intensive production methods, official figures show that the level of various minerals in fruit and vegetables has fallen by between 17 and 80%.

Comments Thread For: Khan: If I Have No Chin, Why Doesn't Garcia Fight Me?
Amir Khan insists he is not worried about Danny Garcia's punch power and hopes to land a rematch this year. Khan was floored heavily by Garcia in a shock knockout defeat in July and the Philadelphia fighter's father, trainer Angel Garcia has irritated the Bolton boxer by questioning his punch resistance. Garcia will defend his WBC and WBA light-welterweight titles against Zab Judah on February 9, but Khan has urged the champion to face him again in his next fight.

He did fight you Amir, you couldn't handle his power, or did them blows make you lose memory? Anyway there's other fighters who have been waiting longer for a title shot.
Josesito would ruin Kahn once and for all, he better not take that fight.

Well, you DON'T have much of a chin. You're still a pretty big threat though. And I guess after two losses the last year or so you're not as hot anymore.

Khan rightly doesn't get much credit from a fight in which he got ko'd but lets try and be a little fair eh. Khan took some big shots from Garcia when he was on jelly legs.

I don't think anyone can deny that Khan is probably the gutsiest fighter in boxing today. Biggest balls in boxing bar none.
The truth is Khan doesn't have the greatest chin, or the worst chin - he has a pretty average chin. He took shots from Maidana which others have succumb to, he got dropped by Garcia but so have a lot of other fighters including Morales.
The only reason Khan got beat by Garcia is because he got taken out of his gameplan by Angel Garcia - he tried to brawl, should have boxed. Even then, Danny could still catch him with a good shot but it's unlikely. If Khan sticks to boxing and aims to land more punches every round instead of KO his opponent I don't think Garcia has a great chance of beating him again. But, the way Khans talking he sounds like he wants to try to KO Garcia and that will be his own downfall, he'll get caught again.

text: 5 "..GREAT SCI-FI.."sdx800 | 20/04/2010 | See all sdx800's reviews (1814)Number 1 Reviewer Number 1 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Games Reviewer Top 10 Gadgets Reviewer Top 10 Toys Reviewer Matt smith has done a brilliant job already of filling the shoes of the doctor in this classic sci-fi series, he plays the character with a fresh approach and steals aspects of all the previous actors who have played the doctor, hes the first doctor so far of the series who has settled into the role quite quickly and comfortably I think. But his performance is boosted along the way with the help of Karen Gillian who is the best assistant so far in the new series since 2005, she plays the role of the still mysterious Amy Pond who has such a great approach to her role too, the pair are great on screen together in all the episodes, the stories are fantastic so far, darker and with great dialogue and the odd humour. Victory of the daleks alone is one of the greatest stories ever in the series, fantastic acting from all involved, great story and an epic and inventive return of everyones favourite enemy the daleks! Great show certainly for the true doctor who fan, but its worth waiting for the box set at the end of the year.

OCEANIA/PAPUA NEW GUINEA - The Church: population growth is not a nightmare
Port Moresby (Agenzia Fides) - The increase in population in Papua New Guinea is not a nightmare, but it can result in an encouraging prospect for growth and social and economic progress of the country. This was stated in a note sent to Fides, by Fr. Giorgio Licini PIME, Secretary of the Commission for Social Communications in the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Papua New Guinea (PNG) and the Solomon Islands. Papua New Guinea has large natural reserves. It has a territorial extension almost equal to slightly more than France and Germany, which have respectively 65 and 81 million inhabitants. Papua has less than 8 million. The data of the 2011 census, published recently, show a lower rate of population growth of about 3.1 % per annum. The nation is in line with many developing countries, while in the West there is a gradual aging of the population.
This trend, according to Fr. Licini, is not a problem or a "spectrum" for the country, as some observers argue, following the neo-Malthusian ideologies. "PNG does not need to promote family planning or practices such as contraception and abortion. With a population which is still limited and with considerable internal resources, PNG can easily plan to become a country of 30-40 million people by the end of the century, with a much stronger and diversified economy", he notes. "We need, however, to fight corruption, instill a better sense of discipline among citizens and work hard for education, infrastructure development and a society free of crime". In particular, a key element is a commitment towards mass literacy and quality education. (PA) (Agenzia Fides 30/01/2014)

Vanquisher of Nadal, Steve Darcis, steps out of Wimbledon with injury
Steve Darcis of Belgium, ranked 135, who stunned the world by upsetting Rafael Nadal in the opening round of Wimbledon, has stepped out of the Grand Slam tournament due to a right-shoulder injury.
Just hours before he was supposed to face his second-round opponent, Darcis withdrew reports Sports Illustrated. Many thought Darcis could make a run of sorts at Wimbledon after his impressive showing in his first-round victory of the 5-seed Rafael Nadal in straight sets.
According to The Guardian, Darcis injured the shoulder during his match against Nadal. His coach, Reginald Williams, said that the injury left Darcis unable to move that arm.
The Belgian believes that the injury occurred on a diving shot during the seventh game of the opening set against Nadal, but was able to keep playing fine and did not feel any pain until after.
"After the match, a few hours after, I started to feel so much pain. I couldn't sleep at night. I saw the physio and the doctor and they did a good job. It's a little better today but there is no chance I can play," Darcis said. "I cannot serve, even on the forehand serve. I cannot hit a ball."
Darcis cites the adrenaline of match as likely being why he was able to play without noticing any pain while putting on what will likely stand as the performance of his career. It is a sore ending for what seemed to be a promising Cinderella story in a sport that has been so dominated by men like Nadal, Federer, and Djokovic over the last decade.
"That's sport, unfortunately," said his coach, Willems. "The greatest victory of his career is followed by the greatest disappointment of his career."

Mortgage Servicers Boosted by HARP Extension
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The Federal Housing Finance Agency, conservator of Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FMCC) said it will extend the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) by another two years till 2015, sending shares of mortgage servicers higher.
FHFA director Edward DeMarco said the program was being extended so more borrowers can benefit from lower rates.
The program allows borrowers with government-backed mortgages with little or no equity in their homes to refinance at lower rates. Launched in 2009, it got off to a rocky start but gained momentum in 2012 after it expanded its access to include all borrowers no matter how deeply underwater they are.
As of January 2013, HARP had allowed more than 2.2 million borrowers to refinance. The FHFA does not provide any hard targets on how many borrowers it hopes to reach with the extension. "We are hopeful that a substantial number of eligible borrowers will participate in the program going forward," the statement said.
The FHFA will soon be launching a nationwide campaign to inform consumers of the extension and their options under the refinance program. For more on eligibility requirements, click
Fears that the boost from refinancing has largely played out weighed on the stocks, so the extension of HARP is likely to be good news. Earlier this week, FBR Capital analyst Paul Miller reiterated his bullish stance on mortgage banks, arguing that there was still some steam left from refinancing. "While many of the large servicers have refinanced a large portion of their HARP loans, smaller servicers are still playing catch-up as demand has exceeded capacity. We estimate that there are between $2T and $2.5T of mortgages that still have an economic incentive to refinance with current refi capacity standing at $1.2T to $1.3T," he wrote. Mortgage servicers were rallying sharply on the news, with shares of Walter Investment Management (WAC) jumping 7% and Nationstar Mortgage (NSM) climbing more than 4% in afternoon trading. "This kills the bear case" for Nationstar and Walter Investment, Sterne Agee analyst Henry Coffey said in a note. The analyst said the extension will add 40 cents per share to his 2014 earnings per share estimate for both companies. -- Written by Shanthi Bharatwaj in New York.

LAS VEGAS, October 18, 2013 — After another month of drama, everything's back to the status quo in Washington.
SEE RELATED: How President Obama gave America Ted Cruz and the Tea Party
The government has no spending limit; Wall Street loves the extra low-interest money that's again available; federal employees enjoyed a couple weeks off with pay; foreign governments can again count on U.S. dollars coming in. Democrats have blamed Republicans; Republicans have blamed the Tea Party. It's business as usual.
Part of the reason nothing is understood is that words have lost their meanings, so we don't really know what anybody in the mainstream is really talking about. Plain-speakers, and clearly-written laws, are exceptions and are ignored or shunned.
SEE RELATED: Obama used a raw, naked political power fight to break the GOP
"Default" has a specific meaning, which is that debt payments cannot be made when they come due. Lately, "default" has been thoroughly mischaracterized, to mean that the government, without additional borrowing (see "borrowing"), will not be able to pay everything it has pledged, on time.
"Borrowing" is the concept of receiving money now that must be paid back in the future. Raising the nation's borrowing limit, as has been practiced for decades and is accelerating now, doesn't fit that definition. The government has no plan and no intention to ever repay "borrowed" money. In this latest crisis, the lie of "default" was that the government would have to borrow more money, just to pay the interest on money it had already borrowed.
"Credit rating," related to "the full faith and credit of the
"Economic cost" is a hilarious chimera. Recent estimates of the 16-day "government shutdown" say that "the economy lost $16 billion." First, "the economy" defies definition. Second, not spending money does not mean that the money is "lost." It simply means that money has not yet been spent. It may have been saved by taxpayers, or it may be waiting, available to buy something else. Look for how happily the media and big-government "economists" will cheer when all those furloughed federal employees get their retroactive pay, for having done nothing. What? You don't expect to hear them cheering?
The "debt ceiling" is another now-meaningless term. Until October 17, it was a theoretical cap on how much the government could borrow. This is now officially lifted — eliminated? — until next year. Prior to this week, however, its meaning was lost to the fact that every time the government overspent, the "ceiling" was raised.
"A 'clean' continuing resolution" means that the president gets everything he wants, without any "dirty" restrictions on spending. He and the Senate turned down all sorts of rational and legal solutions, as they bargained for (and eventually got) a blank check for the next few months.
"Government shutdown" seems to be nothing but code for "make as much public pain as possible to save as little money as possible." Essential services didn't shut down. The Presidential Golf Course didn't go fallow; the Congressional Gym stayed open. Congressional aides, Congress, the President — all got paid. The National Park Service was out in force, to keep people out of "their" land. Illegal immigrants had a sponsored march where veterans weren't allowed to visit.
Yes, we need a whole lot of new words, to explain all that has been said in the last month.
As political words go, there are the classics, too: "reform," in its modern use, means that the old favored groups are no longer as much in favor as new groups, or are thoroughly trained, so new groups will be getting the special treatment.
"Immigration reform" as is now used, means "a path to amnesty" for border-crossing criminals. Since the administration has decided to not enforce existing immigration laws and sues states that try, "immigration reform" really means "open borders," for anyone. The second step, citizenship for these criminals, is part of the "reform" movement.
The phrase, "tax reform" is so over-used, it has become a joke. Every time there is "tax reform," more special favors are doled out, and taxes increase on the rest of us.
"Health care" is a misnomer, being used interchangeably in political circles and the average press with "health insurance." If care were the object, insurance would be unnecessary.
What insurance does is bet against the issuer losing money. That is why rational (private) insurance companies charge different rates to those of different risk groups; it's why drivers with lousy records, or young, inexperienced drivers, get charged more for car insurance, and it's why those with pre-existing health problems pay higher premia. The government's "health care" tax is just another way to force people to fork over money. Remember: if "universal health care" were the program, there would be no need for health insurance.
"Affordable" has been linked to "health care," with the same misdirection. Under the Affordable Health Care Act — ACA or "Obamacare" — low premia are coupled with high deductibles and high co-pays. So, those who must buy the lowest-priced, Bronze-level nationalized health insurance plan will face the most-unaffordable deductibles and co-pays. There are myriad other ways in which the ACA will get in the way of actual health care, but this column is too long, already. But don't stop reading; your input is vital to the future of the nation.
"Leveling the playing field" means special deals are being made, to right past or imagined wrongs at the expense of those who had nothing to do with the problem. It also means that those with privilege continue to hold it. (See governmental playgrounds in "shutdown," above).
"Diversity" means there is no tolerance for homogeneity. Wanting to assimilate, wanting to "be American," is frowned upon by the average media and often by those groups who want to be in

It's been rumored for a while that American Express was going to be going a new Centurion Lounge in Miami International Airport, however they were seeking approval from the Miami-Dade County board. It was announced this afternoon that the Mayor of Miami approved the plan, and Amex will be opening the lounge towards the end of this year.
After American Airlines cut the American Express Platinum access to their Admirals clubs the year, this is a welcome addition to Miami, especially for American flyers (Delta flyers with Amex Platinum cards can still access the SkyClub, but only when traveling on Delta). Amex card members can purchase a $50 one-day pass, however Platinum and Centurion card members have complimentary access with 2 guests or immediate family members, spouse/domestic partner and children under 18.
- Will be approximately 8,000 square foot Centurion Lounge at Miami International Airport.
- Located in the North Terminal, the Lounge will feature locally-inspired cuisine and cocktails from award-winning talent, a spa with complimentary treatments and a family room.
- Additionally, Card Members will enjoy access to high-speed Wi-Fi, personal computers and noise-buffering workspaces.
- More details on the culinary team and specific menu offerings will be available closer to the opening of the Lounge.

YouTube Rents Out 3,000 Movies for PC and Google TV Users
We all know that Google executives have been whining about the continuous dollar drain at YouTube. Despite being the #3 most-visited site on the planet, YouTube still can't generate enough money to help pay for its operating costs. YouTube visitors seem to be lazy in clicking the numerous Google ads on the site. Top management at Google has therefore decided to make YouTube a streaming movie company to rival Netflix and Amazon.
Yes, YouTube is already offering around 3,000 movie titles for rent to any PC, Mac, Linux or Google TV user in the U.S. since May 9, 2011. Salar Kamangar, YouTube's Big Boss confirmed it on his blog post. According to Kamangar, six years after YouTube went online, business reality has forced the popular free video-sharing site to offer paid video content to users. They are serving 2 billion video views everyday and they need more money to pay for the bandwidth and server hardware!
You can access the movie channel here, http://www.YouTube.com/movies. YouTube is offering free movies too but they want people to really pay for their favorite movies. Their asking price is also very affordable and lower than Netflix. You can rent a YouTube movie for $2.99 or $3.99 depending on how recent the movie is. Their library of movies consists of old and new blockbuster hits from Sony Pictures, Warner Bros and NBC Universal.
After paying for a movie, YouTube can stream said video file to your computer or Google TV product such as the Logitech Revue internet TV box. These YouTube movies can also be viewed on the Sony Internet TV with Google TV. As per Google's announcement, YouTube movies for rent will support up to 4K resolution which is cinema-quality! If you don't have enough broadband speed to stream such a maxed-out video quality, you can choose to stream in 1080p/720p HD or 640×480 SD.
If you are one of the many legions of YouTube fans, please let us help the site earn more revenue by renting out a movie once or twice a month. Let's stop using torrents to get our movies. The $2.99 fee is cheap, it's just cigarette money. We can afford to give it to our beloved YouTube, can't we? If we don't help YouTube earn more money soon, Google might decide to shut it down!

PARISH CHIC: On the Treme Set
David Simon probably thought I was stalking him, but I was just doing a favor. This January, I ran an errand for my sister, Rahsaana Ison, who worked in the same building as Simon. I waited outside, near the locked doors, looking a bit lost and out of place. Simon, co-creator of HBO shows The Wire and Treme, walked up and was very helpful. I completed the favor, drove around the city, and returned two hours later. Now Simon was exiting the building. "I hope he doesn't think I've been here the whole time," I thought. I decided I didn't care, approached him, and delivered my thirty-second pitch. Parish Chic hadn't yet debuted, but I asked to photograph the cast members. Simon gave me HBO's number from memory and the name of a person to contact.
The first time I ran into Simon was in March 2009; I was an out-of-work journalist with two degrees, repairing houses with my best friend, Shawn Colin. We climbed roofs, took naps, painted, knocked down walls, ate lunch, and cracked jokes—it was one of the best jobs. For several days in Central City, we worked on a house about two doors down from the Treme crew, who was filming a scene for the first episode. (It was the opening scene of the show, when Rebirth Brass Band takes a second-line break in Gigi's Bar.) Members of the crew asked us to stop hammering, but never offered work-stoppage money. We finally relented. I roamed on set and stood next to Simon and even made suggestions—I wanted to be a part of the show.
This April, I was an intern in the Treme writers' department. Film offices are very casual, and for my interview I wore blue and white seersucker pants, a white shirt, a navy blazer, and a bow tie. Afterwards, Lolis Eric Elie, a story editor on the show and OA contributing writer, sent me an e-mail: "Your sartorial splendor has been noted. As a FYI, nobody dresses up around here. Or I should say, seldom does any one dress up around here."
Filming lasts at least twelve hours a day; being fashion forward is not a priority. Working in the office and visiting the set inspired me to tell the stories of people involved with the show, beyond just the actors: style stories of crewmembers and other supporters who would not appear in magazine spreads, but had plenty of fashion sense to do so.
Wendell Pierce is a grocer, a tireless advocate for New Orleans and its culture, and an accomplished actor. Of the many characters he's played, Pierce likes the style of one in particular the most. "I got to give it up to Bunk," Pierce said, referring to Bunk Moreland, a detective he played on HBO's The Wire.
Personally, Pierce likes French cuff shirts, so he can accessorize. His suits are tailored with the classic one and a half inch cuff. And he has a penchant for pinstripes. "For a big brother like me, it helps with slimming." He wears Bruno Magli shoes for comfort, and said he sort of lacks appreciation for style—he is not collector of things. "But my bohemia is a part of my style, the fact that it is free flowing," Pierce said. "It's inventive, it's improvisational, it doesn't always work, but the fact is my style comes from my love and appreciation for the moment."
Trevor Tufano, "B" Cam Second Assistant Camera, and Colin Scherr, electrician, shooting inside the kitchen of Davis McAlary (Steve Zahn). Tufano said the long hours don't bother him. "I feel like my style has originated from my past: places I've lived and people I associate myself with," he said. Tufano started out shooting skate videos as a teenager, and it has been a major influence in his interest in film production: "Skateboarding is a big part of my life. I consider it an art form." As for his work fashion, Scherr says: "I guess my style on set is designed around function. Because of the long hours, you want to be comfortable. But you can look good doing that."
The Red Stick Ramblers, Annie T's band. From left to right: Blake Miller, Chas Justus, Glenn Fields, Eric Frey, Linzay Young, and Daniel Coolik. The band got the gig backing Annie from an appearance on No Reservations on the Travel Channel, on an episode called "Cajun Country." The band played and cooked for David Simon and Anthony Bourdain, host of No Reservations and a writer on Treme. Months later, Treme called.
Beau Harrison, on-set prop master. "It's not so much that I care about my appearance as much as I just like to wear stuff that I like. I couldn't name a single inspiration, but I can say I've always liked a simpler look with just a hint of style."
From left to right: Kevin Gazdik, electric department; Morgan Davis, Hilton Garrett III, and Kendell Joseph are all grips. "We started this a while back, wearing ties on the last day, which on most shoots would be a Friday," said Joseph. "We call it Tie Day Friday."
Morgan Davis (left). Tommy Lohmann (right), "A" Cam Op/Stedicam: "My style is based on comfort and function, and off-set I am more casual, unless going out for an evening, where I prefer James Perse."
Samantha Beaulieu has appeared as a supporting actress on the show. Beyond Treme, she hosts a radio show, The Weekend Jump Off, on WBOK, and next month she is appearing in a stage play, Lilly's Revenge, for Southern Repertory Theater.
Lucia Micarelli, who portrays Annie, concedes that "maybe a little" of her character's style has rubbed off on her. "I'm definitely more open to girly dresses than I used to be," Micarelli said. "And Annie is a boho-layering queen—very practical for running around town all day." Micarelli describes her personal style as very classic. Her wardrobe is not huge, and she tends to wear a uniform, especially when traveling a lot for work. Micarelli's uniform includes "jeans, super-soft drapey tees, cashmere sweaters, and a leather jacket if it's cold."
Micarelli studied violin at The Juilliard School of Music for seven years, released two albums, and toured as a featured soloist with Chris Botti and Josh Groban. A native of Queens, New York, she said she didn't realize how incredibly varied and broad the music scene was in New Orleans until she was immersed in it. "Every style and genre imaginable is available somewhere in the city—all squished up right next to another style or genre," she said. "Kind of perfect, really."
Wendell Brunious (Suit: Jones New York; Shoes: Florsheim Shoes; Shirt: Donald Trump; Hat: Steve Harvey)
Delfeayo Marsalis (Suit: Alfani; Tie: Dion; Shoes: Cole Haan; Shirt: Thomas Pink; Socks: Bloomingdale's) Delfeayo Marsalis appears on Treme with his big band, the Uptown Jazz Orchestra, who play every Wednesday at Snug Harbor. "Being clean (well-dressed) always puts me in a good mood," said Marsalis, who was named a Jazz Masters with his family by the National Endowment for the Arts. "Style is a form of individual expression, much like improvising a solo. Some folks play it safe, some go out on a limb, but either way, it's nice to be seen, clean." (His second look: Suit: Kenneth Cole; Shirt: Thomas Pink; Socks; Bloomingdale's; Shoes: Cole Haan; Tie: Countess Mara.)
Lance Nichols portrays Larry Williams, the husband of LaDonna Batiste-Williams (Khandi Alexander).
Chris Hannah, bartender at Arnaud's French 75. He played a bartender on the show this season and contributed three recipes to the Treme cookbook. Hannah was named "New Orleans Bartender of the Year" for 2012. The bar has been named one of the Top 25 in America by GQ magazine. The bar was also a quarterfinalist for the prestigious James Beard Award.
With the exception of his Aidan Gill bow ties, he gets everything from yard sales and thrift shops. He usually shops at Miss Claudia's, The Garage, lower Decatur, and finds good shoes at the Bridge House. "I like old clothing styles like I like old cocktails," Hannah said. "It's natural to make these drinks and dress like I do."
Lolis Eric Elie is the story editor and a writer on the show. He's also the author of the forth-coming cookbook Treme: Stories and Recipes from the Heart of New Orleans. (Shirt: Ted Baker; Suit: Zegna; Tie: from Daffy's in New York; Hat: from a shop on Royal Street.) "I like classic cuts with unexpected twists—a bold pattern here, a bright color there. Or perhaps unlikely juxtaposition of the new and the vintage. I don't have a particular syle inspiration. Still, you can't help but look at old pictures from the 1950s and feel nostalgic for a time when dress was a point of pride."

The Round Rock Police Association submitted a petition to the City on June 9 requesting recognition of the Association as the sole and exclusive bargaining agent for all the police officers of the City of Round Rock.
The petition was discussed at the June 24 City Council meeting, and included an overview of the "Meet and Confer" law (PDF) by City Manager Jim Nuse, remarks by RRPA President John Rowe and a question-and-answer session with the City Council.
The City Council has three options for responding to the petition:
The City Council is scheduled to act on the petition at its July 8 meeting.
I attended the City Counsel meeting where the "Meet and Confer" proposal from the POA was discussed. The counsel members seemed to bemoan the fact that they've gone w/o an agreement for 24 years and why did they need one now? The old "If it ain't broke why fix it" mentality. Lets put the rules of negotiations in writing. I don't think this is asking too much. It's like being engaged for 24 years and now its time to get married. The rules of the relationship need to be written down on paper so everyone knows what they are.
Additionally, I was appalled when I heard that the men and women of the RRPD don't have long term disability. They put their lives on the line for us everyday, I can't believe they don't already have this benefit. It is my belief that it takes a special calling to become a peace officer. Not everyone is cut out for the job, not everyone wants to put their life on the line everyday. These folks have that calling and they absolutely put their lives on the line each time they put on their uniforms. They deserve long term disability insurance. Would the city just walk away from an officer if (God forbid) they were permanently injured in the line of duty?
I am a proud citizen of Round Rock since the mid 70's, I feel very safe here. The results of RRPD's excellent work is that we live in one of the safest cities in all of Texas. Its time to "man up", City Counsel, and grant the POA's petition for Meet and Confer. It's way past time.
While listening to the Council speak with the POA President it struck me that currently the City has a employment relationship with each individual Officer. If Meet and Confer is adopted the the relationship will change to the City and the POA. The POA President kept saying that having Meet and Confer will not change anything. If that is true then why does the POA want this so badly. I feel that if the Council agrees to Meet and confer then it is the first step to Civil Service, Unions and everything that the City of Austin has. Look what it has gotten them in return. Police, Fire and EMS make up more than 70% of the City budget and a $30 million budegt shortfall.
The City Council should grant recognition of the POA. The only thing at stake is the ability to simplify and record the communications about the safety and security of our community. I have been a resident of Round Rock for over 20 years and have enjoyed a high quality of life here based on the ongoing actions of the City Council and the RRPD. This agreement seeks two changes- to make communication between the City and RRPD easier by creating a formal liaison infrastructure and recording those agreements; having agreements written cannot be a bad thing for either side. As our community continues to grow it is imperative we establish communication protocols among city agencies; our location on the IH-35 corridor and part of the evacuation route point to the need for the City and the Police to have formalized communication protocols. I want to thank both the City Council and the RRPD - you are hard working individuals that have made Round Rock a wonderful place to live and work. Please vote to keep positive communications that honor the work of all parties.
I have had the opportunity to work for the RRPD for 13 years and during that time have been active in the board for the Association and completely support the Meet and Confer proposition. Having been involved in the board for 7 years, I have personal experience with the need to formalize the "negotiations" between the board and the City. This is not saying anything bad about the City, but there have been times where certain things were agreed upon and did not come through. Formalizing this process with a document committing each party to the agreement makes it completely fair. Additionally, meet and confer is COMPLETELY permissive. If the City doesn't want to talk about something, we don't talk about it. However if both sides can agree, why would you not want to put it in writing and commit both sides to the agreement. There is no hidden agenda on the POA's behalf, it is simply formalizing what we already do. I believe the City is hesitant to commit to the process is because they have not yet studied it enough to feel comfortable with it, simply the fear of the unknown. The good relationship will simply be enhanced by the formalized communication.

Now notice his teenage sons reaction to it all:
"The school bus for the first time ever came down our street this year," explains Rain's dad, Dale, to Utah's Daily Herald. "This was [my son's] first year on the bus. My wife came running in the room and suggested we go wave at him to embarrass him."
And so began Dale's hazing ritual that continued every day for the rest of his son's school year. The first day may have been the most shocking for Rain, but in the days to follow, the surprises kept coming.
Since the fall, Dale has waved at his son in 180 different outlandish costumes. The second day of school he wore a football helmet and jersey, and in the months that followed he opened the front door dressed as a blushing bride, a superhero, a Star Trek fan, Michael Jackson, and a giant chicken. One day he even lugged an old toilet bowl onto the street and sat on it reading a newspaper, stopping to wave as the bus rolled by.
Continue Reading.
Through it all, Rain, an honors student and a member of his high school marching band, has come to appreciate his dad's efforts. "He is genetically predisposed to having a good sense of humor," writes Rain's mom, Rochelle, on their blog. "And yes, he did laugh at the waves. If you look closely at some of the pictures, you'll see that he and his friends were waving back."I have told my kids (repeatedly) that they should never be embarrassed by their parents. I have also warned them that if they do, I will up the ammunition to embarrass them, so they learn to appreciate their parents' opinion over and above everyone else's, until they leave my house.
I think I just learned what will happen if my kids say - "DAD, you are embarrassing me!"
Check out the father's blog - some of the costumes are really funny...

Waters Unveils Industry's First Integrated LC/MS Platform For Proteins, Peptides, And Glycans Analysis At WCBP 2013
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Waters Corporation (NYSE: WAT) today reinforced its commitment to advancing biotherapeutic characterization technology at the Well Characterized Biotechnology Pharmaceuticals 2013 Symposium (WCBP 2013). More specifically, Waters ® today introduced an expansion of its Biopharmaceutical Platform Solution with UNIFI ®, new ACQUITY UltraPerformance LC ® (UPLC ®) CSH130 C 18 and XSelect™ HPLC CSH130 C 18 columns for peptide mapping, and three GlycoWorks™ kits for glycan labeling and sample preparation.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110707/NE31586LOGO )
These innovations represent Waters' continued focus on developing targeted solutions for developers of biotherapeutics and biosimilars, as well as related contract laboratory organizations. These new products further progress routine biotherapeutic analysis, particularly for glycoproteins that require analysis of glycan modifications in addition to detailed protein and peptide level structural analysis. Armed with more rapid and accurate glycosylation knowledge throughout the development and manufacturing process, biopharmaceutical companies can gain a greater degree of control over the critical quality attributes of their molecules. Such capabilities are in-line with increasing regulatory expectations aimed at guaranteeing safe and efficacious biotherapeutics.
Waters Biopharmaceutical Platform Solution with UNIFI The Biopharmaceutical Platform Solution brings together UPLC/MS characterization technology with the UNIFI Scientific Information System that was first developed for intact protein mass analysis, peptide mapping and supporting general bio-separations. Today, Waters extended the solution's reach to support a mix of quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-Tof) MS and optical detection instruments within a networked laboratory workgroup. The ability to deploy UNIFI-based systems within regulated or non-regulated laboratory environments provides biopharmaceutical companies the flexibility to employ high resolution UPLC bioseparations and high performance mass analysis across the entirety of their development and quality organizations.The newly introduced released Glycan application workflow expands the platform's capabilities to support routine assignment and profiling of released glycans using fluorescence detection. The combination of high performance UPLC HILIC (hydrophilic interaction chromatography) separations, Waters' calibration standards and reagents, and access to the NIBRT/Waters GlycoBase 3+ UPLC glycan unit reference database enables confident glycan assignments, quantification, and profiling.

Sunday Sermonette
Our text for today is taken from the Book of Playboy, Vol. 7, Number 7, in the Year of Our Lord 2010.
Our service will be conducted by the right reverend Cornel West, gracing us this morning fresh from his recent sojourn at the Al Green Soulful Uplift Chapel of Hand-clapping Glory, just off Route 7.
Brother West, I believe you have a few words of sustenance and counsel regarding the recent trials and troubles of Tiger Woods, and what we can learn from his fall from grace into the sand trap that has snared so many sinners.
Good God almighty, absolutely! I thought Brother Tiger would be the last brother to get caught in that kind of mess. but as i considered it, it made sense. Man has all the money in the world, all the success, and yet he never displayed an ounce of political concern, never showed any real interest in the problems of poor people, oppressed people. Not a mumbling word. Okay, fine, some people go through life that way. But he had cultivated a certain image--so cleaned up. There's no air there, no reality, no humanity. People is, when you live in such a deodorized space, your funk needs someplace to go. The brother's funk just starts seeping out. It was bound to happen. Suddenly everybody's thinking, Oh, Tiger, you're just like us! But he's worse because he tried to hide the funk. I'm telling you, you can't hide your funk!
How these words resound with the celestial ring of truth.
You can't hide your funk, your funk will find a way to tunnel beyond the fence, or bust out of the Mayberry jail when Barney's napping. You simply can't cart your funk off to a storage unit and think those container walls will hold forever. For your funk is an expression of your Jungian "shadow self" aching for some action.
Thus, verily, your funk needs someplace to go, and not just the occasional Broadway show or Staten Island Ferry ride. Brother West brings up the question of where Brother Obama (another supposedly "post-racial" avatar) might be burying his funk, and I have to wonder in the worrying dead of night how much funk Brother Mitt Romney might be sitting on--a powder-keg of lifelong, pent-up heavily repressed, highly concentrated nitro funk.
Sister Peggy Noonan--if I were man brave enough, I'd want to get down and party with her funk...you just know that behind those pious cheekbones that funk is prime ready for Fleet Week or the sequel to Caligula, loaded, locked, and cocked.
Brother David Brooks--you just know his funk oozes with an ugly beat and bug antennae.
But of course it's bootless to speculate until the funk actually shows itself, reveals its true face and form.
Because no man or woman is without funk, for as Jesus Our Lord himself chided, "Let he without funk cast the first stone," and the apostles were silent, for they knew not what he meant, but knew that asking Jesus to explain himself would only make him testy.

Perl Editor 2012
Perl Editor 2005 is a feature-packed Integrated Development Environment for Perl programmers. Why do Perl coders need it? Here is an analogy - you probably have both Notepad and MS Word on your PC. Both are text-editors or word processors. Which tool do you think professional writers prefer? MS Word, of course, because it has far more features for writers than Notepad. With MS Word`s features like spell-checking and auto-formatting, a writer can do the same job better and faster than with Notepad. It`s exactly the same story with Perl Editor.
With customizable highlighting, option to edit multiple scripts simultaneously and CGI Wizard that generates scripts automatically (no coding), any Perl programmer can cut time he or she spends on writing new code by at least 20%. Another great feature Perl Editor offers is auto-formatting. With this feature active, a coder does not need to spend waste any time doing routine. Since the program was created by an experienced team of Perl programmers, Perl Editor has every feature Perl coder could possible need and does not have any extraneous options that would make the program complicated, hard to learn or difficult to use.
Perl Editor is really stuffed with handy features, like auto-completing, bookmarks, POD viewer, easy searching, automatic code replacing, syntax check, event logging, loaded module list and others. While, it can`t entirely replace the coder, it surely takes on a hefty chunk of work off the programmers shoulders.
Perl Editor 2005 comes in two different versions. They are pretty close, except for the fact that Perl Editor Lite does not have Code Explorer, FTP uploader, Windows/Unix/Mac line endings support and some other functions. For detailed comparison, please refer to http://www.perleditor.net/versions/

Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey is a marvelous movie. It's a documentary about Kevin Clash, who became the voice and operator of Elmo, the tomato-red fur ball and emissary of hugs who is without a doubt the most beloved Muppet of his time. That makes the film sound like a cloying kiddie sapfest, but actually it's a story of obsession. Clash, born in 1960, grew up on the wrong side of the tracks in greater Baltimore, and he explains to us how children's shows like Captain Kangaroo became his entire world. When Sesame Street premiered late in 1969, for Clash it was like a daily visit to Oz. He started to build his own puppets and was consumed by the desire to give them life, and to meet the Wizard himself, Jim Henson.
While still in high school, Clash landed a puppeteering gig on a local TV station, and that became his ticket to Henson's kingdom. As you get absorbed into Clash's world, learning about his pursuit of ''the Jim Henson stitch'' (an invisible seam, possible only with fleece), or about his way of keeping a Muppet's mouth open a tad so that it ''smiles,'' you begin to see how the deep and magical psychology of the Muppets emerged from the souls of people like Henson and Clash. Clash himself is a paradox: at once tender and guarded, with a glow of sweetness he can't fully reveal when he's not being Elmo. He was the first African-American to work as a Muppeteer, and Being Elmo shows you why that mattered: By taking the world's Muppet love, through Elmo, to new heights, he became the fulfillment of Jim Henson's soft-cloth version of a rainbow coalition.

Despite their early-season struggles, the Los Angeles Kings were selected by a lot of people to be here. Early dominance had everyone assuming the Chicago Blackhawks would be here. Neither team had the second round they probably would have liked, as both were forced to seven games by lower seeds. They are both here, however, in the 2013 Western Conference Final, which begins on Saturday evening in Chicago.
The Blackhawks had an easy first round. An overtime victory was all they gave up in a five-game sendoff of the Minnesota Wild. They probably didn't even have everything in first gear. However, they needed to step it up in the semifinals, as the Detroit Red Wings pushed them to the brink after taking a 3-1 series lead. Chicago came back, won three straight and dispatched their rivals in overtime in Game 7. Brent Seabrook was the hero as the Blackhawks got back to the conference final for the first time since their Stanley Cup-winning 2009-10 season.
The Kings have seemingly been on the brink in both of their first two rounds. The defending Stanley Cup champs began their 2013 playoff run by losing two-consecutive games to the St. Louis Blues. They were one-goal losses, but the Kings appeared to be out-hit and they made casual mistakes. From there, they went into overdrive, winning six in a row. They finished off the Blues and had an early lead on the San Jose Sharks. San Jose came back, however, and forced a seven-game series in which every game was won by the home team that had scored the first goal. The Kings got a one-goal win in Game 7 and continue their hopes for a repeat.
This series is a battle between the two best defensive teams in the playoffs. Los Angeles has given up 1.54 goals per game, while Chicago has given up 1.83. The Blackhawks have scored 2.75 goals per game, while the Kings have scored an even 2.0. The two teams have celebrated talents on offense and defense, however, and can likely keep up however the game is played. Game 1 should be very interesting.
Will the schedule be a factor?
Because of The Rolling Stones presence at Chicago's United Center this week, this series couldn't begin until Saturday. That means these two teams are stuck starting two games in the span of 27 hours before taking a trip out to the west coast. There will be no two-day break at any point in this series. After a condensed schedule and a crazy first two rounds, will this schedule finally get to some of the players? Will the time zone changes matter? Remember, the Blackhawks have largely stayed within their region in the first two rounds, while the Kings played St. Louis in round one.
Can Corey Crawford top Jonathan Quick?
The top-three goaltenders in save percentage during this post-season remain: Quick, Crawford and Tomas Vokoun. Quick and Crawford are one and two in goals against average, respectively. Quick, however, is decidedly tops in every stat. Ever since a shaky start in St. Louis, he has been in 2012 form, which is frightening for any team going up against him. Corey Crawford must out-play him if the Hawks are to win this series. He was great during the Blackhawks come back against the Red Wings, but allowed a couple bad goals along the way. Those bad goals can't happen against the Kings.
If the Blackhawks get their offensive game going, can the Kings keep up?
On the other hand, the Blackhawks are capable of finding a real offensive groove. They've scored 33 goals in 12 games this post-season, vs. 26 in 13 for the Kings. Kane and Toews are still stuck on three goals combined. If you get those two going, along with the red-hot Patrick Sharp and Marian Hossa, they can pile up on you in a hurry. The Kings have guys like Richards, Kopitar, Carter and Brown, but will they be able to beat an underrated Hawks defense and goaltending to play that kind of game?

The New Times and their so called writers will look like fools after our press conference! We sent the rebutal with everything showing the Phoenix New Times writer knows no facts to a major worldwide magazine looking to feature John.
This is going to be funny to make these writers and New Times look bad for unfactual reporting!
We are having a major press conference soon to show the world all of the evidence John D. Smith is Elvis' son.
That's a rather Idyllic, 77 year old look based on his history. More crags! I mean really! Mosh it up with Keith Richards for more realism.

Ever Evolving

There is an impulse asserting itself in the world right now and it has swept me up. This impulse- it's our greatness, inviting us to wake up and become greater; it's an urge to activate something unknown within us, and to evolve the world. We feel it as the unyielding desire to discover our essential life purpose and make a meaningful contribution to this world.
But no one ever promised that working with intangibles like the voice of intuition or the whispers of your life was going to be easy. It's a process. A process that is teaching me to be vulnerable, to be brave, to surrender and to practice patience.
In my last journal, I wrote about meeting Subhadra here on PulseWire. Subhadra and I collaborated on the idea to connect the women of our communities. This collaboration has been a great gift because it's shining a spotlight on where my unique gifts are. This is HUGE! Because when I know where my power is, I know best how to contribute.
The idea was for my community to sponsor a reproductive health camp for the women in the slums of Indore, India. Then the news came from Subhadra that she has decided to secure funds from local agencies in India. So…though it didn't quite "work out" the way I'd envisioned, I'm learning to look beyond my expectations. Despite it looking differently, it's clear to me now that movement has been created. I've brought awareness to the women in my community of global issues, particularly maternal & reproductive health, and we've inspired Subhadra to move forth in her idea to bring the camps to the women of her city.
I've learned that I am the spark, the catalyst. I've learned that it's vital for me to continue to nurture ideas like little fires I'm carrying around, careful not to let them burn out. It's vital for me and for the world- for me in being the greatest me, and for making the world a greater place to live and be.
