JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas
-- As the massive 1.3-mile-wide tornado approached Moore, Okla., May 20, Staff Sgt. Tim Smith took shelter along with his family, neighbors and dogs.
"I arrived home 10 minutes before the tornado hit my neighborhood," said Smith, an Enlisted Accessions recruiter in Norman, Okla. "My wife, my son and I were able to make it to my neighbor's shelter."
"About the time it was on top of us, all of our ears started popping repeatedly and we were silent," added Smith. "The only thing I heard was the wind and the debris hitting the roof and garage door. We were in the shelter for about eight minutes before the noise stopped and we felt it was safe to come out and look around."
The EF5 tornado had destroyed everything in its path, including his neighborhood.
"When I opened the shelter, the garage door was smashed in and we could only see our severely damaged house across the street," said Smith. "The neighborhood had been destroyed and there was still debris in the air and you could still see the tornado."
As Smith and his neighbor went to survey the damage of their homes, they noticed that the local elementary school, which was in session, was no longer there.
"I yelled at Tim and said, 'There are still kids in the school!'" said Phillip Rowland, Smith's neighbor. "We immediately took off running down the street towards the elementary school."
"Briarwood Elementary School was left with just a few walls, a pile of rubble, and what looked like a junkyard of mangled cars out front," Rowland added.
Without hesitation, Smith took control of the scene. He coordinated a group of volunteers and led search parties to help those trapped inside vehicles and the school.
"When I got to the first car, there was a young girl in the back seat crying and waiting for her father who was in the school, so Phil stayed with her as I worked my way through all the other cars," said Smith. "In front of the school there was a small pond where several cars were turned over. In order to check them I had to swim under the water to feel around to ensure the car was clear and about half way through clearing the cars, another young man was there helping me."
Searching through debris and cars, Smith and several volunteers rescued and aided those in need of help.
"We searched the school for about an hour until all the children were accounted for," said Smith. "We managed to pull out the last two children who were missing and administered first aid to them, while several officers came through evacuating the area due to gas leaks and live wires."
"You would think he did this every day from the way he was able to search with urgency and efficiency," added Rowland.
As first responders arrived at school, Smith headed back toward his neighborhood to look for those still trapped. Street after street, Smith and fellow volunteers continued their search through debris looking for trapped survivors and rendering first aid, ranging from small cuts and puncture wounds to large head wounds.
"As Phil and I headed into the streets of the neighborhood, I started yelling to hopefully hear a response," said Smith. "Fortunately, I heard a man's voice yelling, 'We are here! We are here!' I used a pry bar to remove debris from the top of the shelter and got it open. We were able to pull him, his wife and grandchildren who were stuck in their shelter."
While attending to the injured, Smith and fellow volunteers supported first responders who were unable to get to the scene.
"We transported the injured by loading them into pickup trucks because their vehicles could not to make it through the neighborhood," said Smith.
"Every point that I ran back into Tim he was still working with the same urgency as he was when we first stepped out of the shelter," Rowland added. "I started to slow down quite a bit because of the physical and mental strain, but just seeing him push on really motivated me to keep up. I saw him organizing people and doing so many things I'm not even sure he realized what he was doing."
Smith was not the only member of the family providing a helping hand. His wife, Staff Sgt. Brandi Smith, a unit deployment manager, had taken in several children whose parents were helping in the search efforts.
"Without her taking in those children those other parents would not have been able to help with the rescue efforts," said Smith. "During all of this she also had our own son she was trying to watch. At one point she had as many as five children and one of them had special needs."
"It's hard to say an exact number of lives impacted that day by Tim's acts, but I would describe it as a ripple," said Rowland. "For every person he either helped or inspired that day I'm confident that individual went out and was able to help at least one other person."
Rowland admitted that he and his wife were tossing around the idea of moving away from Moore after the tornado but they soon changed their minds.
"As soon as we found out that the Smith family was going to rebuild we couldn't think of a better place to be. Tim and Brandi both did so much that day for the neighbors and so many people they didn't even know. I can't think of anywhere else we could find better people to raise a family around."

they're the one and only time I've ever come across the meeting of power metal, progressive/math metal and punk/emocore
Album Rating: 3.5Yea that's a bad one right there.
Album kicks ass but is a tad samey.
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Offwhat the fuck is emocore?
always read the album title as scurvylous
-weak introduction
-fillers are unnecessary ex. "So anyway, enough of the waffle, let's get to the riffle. Oh, that was bad. I'm sorry."
> It just shows that you can't lead into your arguments
-use an expanded vocabulary, remove that 3 inch layer of dust covering your thesaurus and use http://dictionary.reference.com/ incase you forgot the exact meaning of a word
-"I did find the drumming on Fortress superior, but each to their own I suppose."
> This is a review not a conversation between aquaintences, don't use circular logic, it is a fallacy
thats all the negging I'll do this time around
Album Rating: 2.0
use an expanded vocabulary, remove that 3 inch layer of dust covering your thesaurus
This ^
So this is power metal?
Album Rating: 3.0"But this time it's less about being "METAL!!!" and more about complienting the music."
Complienting should be complimenting? Unless this is a word I have never heard of.
Album Rating: 4.5people, "cheese" is an inherently negative term. to describe protest's theatricality in a positive way is to use just that word - theatrical. 'Cheese' implies that it is overbearing and not executed well, which is indeed a fitting term for this album. don't use cheese as an adjective to compliment any band!
Album Rating: 5.0god i love you mordecai
Digging: Charli XCX - Sucker
Album Rating: 1.5
they're the one and only time I've ever come across the meeting of power metal, progressive/math metal and punk/emocore that actually works.
Album Rating: 3.5he called protest the hero emocore! BURN HIM!
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Offemocore.......
Digging: Christopher Lee - A Heavy Metal Christmas
ButcheredChildren's post [2]
Album Rating: 1.5He calls them almost every genre that involves guitars. Surely emocore is better than power metal.
youre all ridiculous besides acad and crysis
Digging: Downfall of Gaia - Aeon Unveils the Thrones of Decay
Album Rating: 2.5It seems like this is a mix of an actual review and opinion, normally these tend to mix into one cohesive whole but your wording and phrases constantly pulled me out of the experience, reminding me that such wasn't the case.
Digging: MO - No Mythologies To Follow
Album Rating: 3.5"Ahh Protest the Hero. This is such an odd band. I say this because they're the one and only time I've ever come across the meeting of power metal, progressive/math metal and punk/emocore "
I stopped reading there. pos.

Good actor. Liked him in Sunshine. Made the FF movies watchable – played Storm well. Needs better roles.
Don't forget Not Another Teen Movie.
I had no clue it was the same dude in all those movies.
this is a good thing, right?
puts the hot in photo?
He acts the same in every movie. He always plays the stereotypical shallow stuck up guy.
But at least he does it well.
Really douche-y pics though.
No different than lots of female Hollywood "stars": just there to look good and sell tickets. And I'd buy a ticket to ride that bus. Mmmm hmm.
I love you so much, I lol'd for like 30 seconds solid.
I'd suck the socks off of him!
Oh Chris Evans. I wish it was you that was gay and not your little bro. Oh well, at least he is hot too. *Goes watch General Hospital*
His tattoo just means "surname".

Would like to see if there's any group rides welcoming MTB newbs. I'm familiar with some of the hiking trails but not bike trails and their levels of difficulties. Did a search on here and found great information but was wondering if there's group rides as it would be safer and not to mention meeting experienced MTBers. Currently have a 1999 frame hard tail bike bought from craigslist that I think is setup for XC and light trails.

WilmerHale has been ranked among the nation's top law firms for commitment to pro bono work. Learn more.
May 28, 2008
Chambers Europe 2008 recently singled the firm's International Arbitration Practice Group out for exceptional rankings.
Gary Born, the Group's Chair, was selected as a "star performer" in the areas of both Dispute Resolution: International Arbitration Europe-wide, where he is listed as only one of three star performers in Europe, and in the UK, where he is the sole star performer. Mr. Born was also listed among the "Most in Demand Arbitrators"—a list of only 35 of the top arbitrators throughout Europe.
Mr. Born is accompanied in the rankings by three of his practitioners listed as among the best in the field as well: Steven Finizio and Franz Schwarz. Chambers' editorial noted:
"'Only after you've seen Gary Born in action will you understand why he has the reputation he does.' Renowned as both arbitrator and counsel, Born has been involved in over 400 international arbitrations and has 'an innate ability to cut to the chase and home in on the awkward points and questions that everyone else might have missed.'
The 'calm and measured' Steve Finizio has 'developed into a significant player' who has 'a natural, eloquent style of advocacy, which allows him to persuade by force of reason alone.'
New partner and Austrian lawyer Franz Schwarz is 'possessed of a razor-sharp written style and shows no mercy in exposing the other side's weaknesses.' Having already made an impression on the written and speaking circuit, this rising star's civil law background offers an 'extra dimension' to the team.
On top of the individual recognitions, the firm's International Arbitration Group also ranked in the first tier in the UK for Dispute Resolution: International Arbitration, and in the second tier Europe-wide for this same category. Chambers notes that "London is the centre of operations for an 'outstanding team' which comprises an impressive cross-section of nationalities and legal qualifications. A strong culture of international advocacy combined with a 'quality of associates that is second-to-none' ensures that this firm is 'fully deserving of top-tier status .'"
Chambers bases its rankings on market research that helps determine the level of client service, commercial awareness, technical legal ability, professional conduct, commitment, and diligence as well as additional qualities in which clients view as valuable.
Chambers Europe's research covers all major jurisdictions throughout Europe. The leading international law firms and leading individuals are ranked in the primary areas of law in each country. To learn more please visit chambersandpartners.com.

3. The Ghost of Greenwich Village (Ballantine), by Lorna Graham
Readers also enjoyed the fizzier quest that propels this love letter to the Big Apple, as a budding TV writer struggles with her apartment's flinty resident ghost (a frustrated Beat-era author) and the shadow of her late bohemian mom's high expectations.
Graham explores what it means to belong to a place and to follow your own path and create your own story. For Eve Weldon, it means moving to Greenwich Village to follow in her mother's footsteps and realize her dream of becoming a writer. Along the way, she meets a cast of characters from the past and present, all looking for the same thing: love and acceptance in the big city. Ultimately, this is a love story between a girl and her cityGreenwich Village is really the heroine of this novel. The star-crossed lovers are its historic buildings and streets and the ghosts that haunt them. Graham does a beautiful job of capturing the magic of New York's literary past in her creation of Eve's story, and readers can't help but cheer Eve on as she finds her way in the Big Apple.Maria Sabistina, Rocky River, OH
When Eve Weldon moves into a small apartment in Greenwich Village, she sets out on an adventure to learn more about her mother, who lived in the area during the 1960s. Eve soon discovers that her apartment is haunted by Donald, a crotchety and demanding Beatnik ghost, who is trying to use Eve to write down his very odd poems. Her new job writing fluffy segments on the morning news show Smell the Coffee isn't the poetic life she thought she would lead. Eve encounters some very interesting characters as she tries to piece together information from her mother's past, including a reclusive fashion designer and a friendly vintage clothing seller. The real story is Eve learning about making her own community, finding her way in New York, learning about her past, and believing in herself.Kaarin Moore, Washington DC
Ghost is a quirky, engaging read. Although the premisefriendship with a ghostsounds a bit ridiculous, Graham's writing makes this coming-of-age novel a delight. It manages to be both light-hearted and surprisingly affecting.Carrie Dunham-LaGree, Albany, NY
Unfortunately, Ghost is a confused and a watered-down parableone that has too many moving parts without substance.Anne Fallon, New York, New York
Eve is warm and relatable, but the instant ease with which she performs the duties of her new job despite having no experience in that field makes for a less-than-plausible situation. As is the unlikely friendship she forms with a reclusive renowned designer. What keeps the reader going is the beautiful dialogue and stylistic appeal that Graham brings to the table.Suzanne Warner, Alameda, CA

Zileas, whats your favorite aspect of your job? Is it the game itself, the people you work with, the stuff you work on, or those who enjoy the game? Or anything in between?
I like it when you guys can have a sense of humor with us and the fact that most of us dont get hurt or offened we just sit here and lol at our screen. Every other game I've played the employees were like robots. All they did was strictly answer questions and leave. Between matches I like to just read forums especially with Zileas because I love the humor and sarcasm.

Zileas just delivered the open hand slap of God to OP.
Somebody sticky this thread, this glorious battlefield should be memorialized.

Prof. Allen Guelzo will give a lecture, "Liberty and Union" on Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. as part of the "A Walk Through the Civil War" lecture series.
The talk will take place in Gettysburg College's Kline Theatre, near the intersection of Water and North Washington Streets. This event is free and open to the public.
The lecture is the second of a four-part lecture series to be held in conjunction with the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War. Subsequent lectures will be given on Feb. 20 and March 20, 2013.
The first lecture, "The Coming of the War" was held Oct. 17.
Guelzo is the Henry R. Luce Professor of the Civil War Era and a professor of history at Gettysburg College. He is formerly Dean of the Templeton Honors College and the Grace F. Kea Professor of American History at Eastern University. He holds an M.A. and a Ph.D. in history from the University of Pennsylvania, an M.Div. from Philadelphia Theological Seminary, and an honorary doctorate in history from Lincoln College in Illinois.
These events are part of Gettysburg College's American Civil War Sesquicentennial commemoration. The College will sponsor events and programs throughout the anniversary that runs from 2011-2015 with special focus on 2013, which marks the 150th anniversary of the enactment of the Emancipation Proclamation, the Battle of Gettysburg, and President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. For more information, visit www.gettysburg.edu/cw2013 and www.gettysburgcivilwar150.com.
Gettysburg College (then known as Pennsylvania College) played a vital role in the Civil War, with more than 200 alumni serving the Union or Confederacy, and the College's Pennsylvania Hall functioning as an observation post and hospital during the Battle of Gettysburg. On Nov. 19, 1863, College students and faculty processed to hear Lincoln deliver the Gettysburg Address at the Gettysburg National Cemetery. Earlier in the year, an 1851 graduate of the College, prominent attorney David Wills, had invited Lincoln to deliver "a few appropriate remarks" at the cemetery's dedication. Lincoln stayed with the Wills family on the square the night before delivering his famous speech.
Founded in 1832, Gettysburg College is a highly selective four-year residential college of liberal arts and sciences with a strong academic tradition. Alumni include Rhodes Scholars, a Nobel laureate, and other distinguished scholars. The college, which enrolls 2,600 undergraduate students, is located on a 200-acre campus adjacent to the Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania.

text: At age 38, Reginald VelJohnson has found his calling: playing affable men in blue. After years as a classically trained New York stage actor who'd ranged from Staggerlee to Shakespeare, VelJohnson got his big break three years ago when he landed the role of Al Powell, the levelheaded, Twinkie-loving sergeant who talked Bruce Willis through the original Die Hard (he reprised the role in Die Hard 2). That led to his casting as Carl Winslow, Chicago policeman and beleaguered patriarch of ABC's Family Matters, where he has to share scenes with a houseful of child actors and play straight man to America's favorite nerd, Jaleel White's whining Steve Urkel. ''For a while I found myself overplaying, trying to outdo the kids,'' says VelJohnson, who grew up with four siblings in a middle-class family in Queens, N.Y., ''but I've learned to play it down a little bit.'' Now he's living in a Hollywood condo (newly remodeled, with a TV in every room), getting yells of ''Hi, Carl'' in shopping malls, and shooting next season's Grass Roots, an NBC miniseries with Corbin Bernsen, in which he plays big change of pace here an ex-cop.

ALEPH Cataloging Trainers Group
March 27, 2003
March 27, 2003
Each trainer was asked to state his/her goals for the meeting. General consensus was that, at this stage, we need to spend more time learning and discussing cataloging performance in Aleph. Gerald reiterated his concern about attempting to train staff with a client lacking many key functions such as authority linking and import/export operations. Jorge stressed the importance of looking at how cataloging fits into the bigger picture, and Doug echoed this sentiment when expressing his desire to focus on workflow. David and Jean, having recently completed the ExLibris Serials Functional Training, were particularly interested in integrating the specialized needs of serials into our thinking and planning. Jackie emphasized the goal of zeroing in on cataloging tasks and providing a practical crosswalk from NOTIS to Aleph to assist staff with the transition to Aleph.
Aleph training draft
Betsy distributed a copy of a UF Aleph training draft created by Rich Bennett to give Library Council an overview of training activities. In the document Rich explains that functional training classes are being developed by the functional training groups and will likely be similar, but not identical to the Harvard classes described in the draft.
Team reports
Jackie/Jorge - monograph original cataloging
Creating a bib record via templates is a straightforward process that's relatively easy to master. Manipulating a bib record seems manageable - just a matter of learning the various menus and keystrokes for editing. However, understanding how the holdings and items relate and navigating between them is difficult.
At what stage in the workflow will the HOL and ITM be created?
Will the HOL and ITM be automatically generated?
Is there a way to reformat (similar to NOTIS F12) without losing empty fields?
Gerald/Tatiana - authorities work
The check record function reports back different levels of validation problems. The validation reports will be much more meaningful when the authorities are linked to the bib record and authority related problems are identified in the reports.
Aleph provides for the automatic generation of authority records based on the 1XX fields in the bib records, but not the 7XX fields. Automatically generating an authority record from 7XX headings in bib records is convoluted and requires the cataloger to temporarily change the 7XX to a 1XX field. The automatic process creates a 670 with only title and date, and the specific source of the heading has to be manually input.
When creating authority records, it is possible to use an authority record template instead of automatically generating an authority record from the bib, but all variable fields have to be completed by the cataloger. Gerald believes series, uniform titles, and subjects have to be created using the authority record template. It's not clear whether or not a 4XX field can be changed to a 130 field in order to facilitate the automatic creation of a series authority record from the bib. [Update: Authority records for personal, corporate and conference names, series and uniform titles can be automatically generated from the bib by temporarily changing the relevant field to a 1xx field; subject authority records cannot.]
Questions about "Check Record" function and authority records in Aleph
How configurable are the three levels of messages in the "Check Record" report (see Cataloging manual, section 4, p. 24, bottom of page)?
"Check Record" appears to detect when there is a new heading. I don't think it's checking the authority database even though it says "is a new heading and is not in authority database." True? Can we assume that it will check the authority database once the authority headings are linked to the bib file?
The "Search field headings of current library" and "Search field headings of other library" functions don't work right now. Do you know when they will be available?
One of the options under "Edit/Derive new record" is "Create a new record in the Authority DB, based on 100 field." The record created has several 008 values we would like changed. Is it possible to reconfigure the template used to create these records? (See "fix_doc_new_aut_2", Cataloging manual, section 10, p. 24?)
Jimmie pointed out that CATME, a cataloging software program being investigated for use during the NOTIS freeze and possibly longer term, might be able to be used for authority record creation after migration to Aleph.
David/Naomi and Jean - serials cataloging workflow; LL cataloging workflow
David read the following report which discusses Serials Cataloging training needs:
Serials Aleph Workflow Issues
As of 3/27/03 (rev. 3/31/03)
Although Serials staff has not conferred since attending the Aleph Serials Module training and integrated the new information and procedures gleaned from that module, it has become clear that SERCAT training will require more additional specific training than the standard approach for the other cataloging units.
Several issues come to mind when considering workflows for SERCAT in Aleph. These are by no means complete:
- Serials Cataloging will require a thorough grounding in and the ability to navigate the Serials, Acquisitions and Cataloging modules at the very minimum.
- UF implementation decisions will seriously affect how training and workflow will be undertaken within the Serials Units (SERCAT and SERACQ) to implement Aleph.
- Serials staff will need additional training in MARC and especially in managing 866 Marc tags which are presently not been used in NOTIS Serial Holdings (899).
- The duties of SERCAT and SERACQ will complement and supplement each other in ways that will be in some ways different from the current NOTIS practices.
- Serials staff will need additional training in Aleph 853 and Aleph 853X fields and OCLC 891 fields to address pattern data considerations.
In view of the above, SERCAT considers that the differences between serials treatment in Aleph and NOTIS will necessitate specialized and customized training for SERCAT staff. SERCAT trainers have begun to address the workflow considerations by offering a seminar on April 2nd on serials issues to lay the groundwork for future proposed Aleph training classes. Non-trainers in SERCAT have been urged to sign up for Aleph 101 classes to facilitate understanding of the GUI handling and navigation. It is my understanding that all SERCAT non-trainers have already signed up for an ALEPH 101 session. In addition, a specific customized seminar will be offered on April 2nd to address MARC familiarity in particular with the 866 tags which are presently not been used in this institution for Serials holdings.
In addition, SERCAT trainers will merge MARC training with CONSER training to address another critical need of the department caused by the influx of relatively recent staff. Serials cataloging considers CONSER level training a necessary step in acquiring additional familiarity with MARC and also enhance skills that were not required in NOTIS but are required in ALEPH.
David and Jean expressed concern about the serials workflow after migration. Patterns for predictive check-in have yet to be added to the UF test database, and even if FCLA can add patterns for many records there will still be the need to establish workflow for manually inputting many more.
Doug/Betsy - monograph copy cataloging
Betsy distributed the following spreadsheet, which outlines: 1) core monograph copy cataloging tasks culled from existing cataloging procedures 2) related questions for FCLA 3) the Aleph Cataloging manual chapter that covers the particular task in Aleph and 4) the Harvard class that covers the particular task in Aleph.
Copy Cataloging Workflow (Excel spreadsheet)
As was noted earlier in the meeting, editing the bib is easily mastered. The Help information is good, particularly for MARC21 fields. There are numerous questions related to inputting holdings and items data. Doug experimented with creating triggers, which appear to serve the purpose of providing a way to record personal notes about a record as well as notes to facilitate broader internal communication.
Restrictions re: access to records for editing purposes could cause cataloging workflow problems. Doug recommended that one person in each unit be given the highest level of authorization level to prevent workflow bottlenecks. Betsy reported that Rich plans to request permissions templates from FCLA, which will give us a broad view of the permissions structure. The FCLA training session for Phase 1 libraries about permissions and other issues was rescheduled from March 20-21 to May 5-6.
Cecilia - HC cataloging workflow
Cecilia couldn't attend the meeting, but had previously sent the group her beginning list of questions for FCLA:
Is there anything alerts you when a record has a "trigger"?
Is there an authorization level associated with the ability to delete/modify "triggers"?
Is running a report the only way to know there's a "trigger" present?
What happens when a trigger expires and no report has been run?
What criteria will we be using in deciding what are "similar" records (Edit/Locate similar record)?
What will our "fix" routines do?
Where are the STA field defined? On p. 47 of cataloging manual it says the STA $$aSUPPRESSED "does not prevent the generation of index entries. To prevent the public from seeing these entries, it is necessary to explicitly exclude the STA $$aSUPPRESSED field through the standard logical bases mechanism." What does that mean to us exactly?
Does it suppress all aspects of the record hldgs., items, etc.?
When would we use the STA$$aDELETE as opposed from using the delete from the service menu? I'm not clear on what the difference is between the two, but there appears to be one from reading the documentation.
How does the LKR field relate to the 780/785?
What is the functionality of these LKR fields and what is the actual difference between UP and DN (other than the obvious directional one)?
A thought: Do we want to consider making ELEC records "global" so we can all help in maintaining and we can add the appropriate subjects etc.
What does a "Catalog Proxy" do, what would be its potential use for us?
??Can only use the "search field" and have it automatically populate the field if the UPD is set to Y?? What happens if it's set to N?
Holdings record defaults to a monograph. Can we create templates for holdings in other formats?
What's a "copyright article fee" code?
Documentation says, "It is important to link the subscription to the holdings record before item records are created so that the holdings record system number is automatically copied to the items created during the serial check-in process." So what happens if you don't and how do you overcome it if you accidentally create the item first?
Would we add the 856's to the bib or the hldgs or both? What difference does it make?
In items, is there some way to get rid of the "save default" record other than creating a new one?
Can an item circulate using the default barcode assigned by the system? If so, what happens when the barcode # is changed to the regular library barcodes?
When creating items for a multi-volume monograph the "material type" should be entered as "issue" rather than "book"?
The group discussed the idea of inviting Daniel Cromwell to meet with us and decided that prior to doing so the group should first meet in the MSL training room to walk through the cataloging workflows together to address the outstanding questions. The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 7, 10:30-12:30, MSL training room.

Welcome to the September 2012 edition of the Management Journey Carnival. It's back to school and this holds true for this month's Carnival as well. This month thought leaders share their wisdom on customer service, innovation, team building, sales, email management, self awareness, social business, communication, knowledge management, entrepreneurship, and other topics. Let's begin with an older post that is helpful in understanding what it takes to foster corporate innovation.
What separates the great innovation organizations from the good ones? This is the question Gordon Hui of Co.Design raises in his article, 4 Ways To Keep Great Ideas From Getting Stuck In The Pipeline. As he explains, simply put, it's the ability to account for the pipeline paradox. Innovative leaders begin with the end in mind, know how to set up a pilot activity, obtain short term profits, and are great at designing ideas. — Innovation

So, you've taken seriously the fact that continuous improvement definitely applies to one's management and leadership skills! You're also emotionally-intelligent enough to admit that you could have done some things better as a manager. In fact, you can honestly say that you are improving your management skills. As you watch how others continue to interact with you, however, you wonder, Do They Even Notice You've Changed. This podcast comes from the Center for Creative Leadership and it provides four strategies for changing this dynamic. — Development

Words can inspire employees to embrace a shared vision. They can also frustrate employees and undermine organizational productivity. In her article, Conscious Leaders Use Wisdom Words, Wendy Appel explains on her blog why business leaders should not use creative euphemisms and clever words of spin to communicate with their employees. — Communication
You know you have to be at your best to lead your team. You do not have the option of not performing up to par. How can you maintain your own productivity? As Geil Browning of Inc explains, in her article, 10 Ways to Rejuvenate Your Brain While You Work, you should go to Africa—literally or figuratively. — Productivity
Creating an environment that fosters employee motivation takes work. As Michael Cardus of Create Learning | Team Building Blog explains in his article, If You Value Something You Are Motivated To Pursue It. As he explains, step one to creating a high performing team is to determine why they are here. — Team Building
You cannot have leadership without a vision. Leaders must be able to paint a picture of a desirable future so organizational stakeholders can see where they are to go. Visit some organizations and it becomes clear that the vision has become dim. In his article, 5 Rules For Making Your Vision Stick, Craig Chappelow of Fast Company, explains how leaders can effectively communicate their vision. — Leadership
Different sales leaders have different strategies for achieving results through their teams. Despite these differences, there are some characteristics that successful sales leaders have in common. Steve Eungblut of Sterling Chase | Solutions for Business Growth discusses 10 traits of great sales leaders in his article, What Makes a Great Sales Leader? — Sales
There's a revolution going on in business that is radically changing the power relationship between companies and customers. It's called social business and it is dictating how businesses deliver their services to their customers. In her article, Social Business – 3 Questions to Ask NOW, Anna Farmery of the Engaging Brand discusses the importance of developing a partnership with customers. — Social Business
Problem solving! It might as well be another term for management. Managers continually face obstacles in the workplace that they see as problems. But are all obstacles problems? As Denise Green of Brilliance Inc explains in her article, Overcoming Obstacles, it is all about one's perspective. One person will see an obstacle as a problem, others may see it as an opportunity. — Problem Solving
Employees like to follow confident leaders. The determination and certainty these leaders bring give employees a security that the goals and objectives of the business are worthy to achieve. Leaders need more than confidence however. They also need humility as Karin Hurt of Let's Grow Leaders explains in her article, Humility Matters: 9 Ways Confident Leaders Remain Humble. — Leadership
Is being "too smart" a problem? It is when the manager does not have the self awareness to understand his limitations and his impact on others! In her article, Why Being Smart is Over-Rated, Joan Kofodimos of Teleos Consulting explains why and how some super smart managers fail their organizations. As she demonstrates, there are pitfalls in managerial intelligence – and in the over-valuing of managerial intelligence.— Self Awareness

My first year of nursing :)
- 20May 26, '12 by katielam616i started my first nursing job in may 2011. graduated in december, took the boards in march, then started my job in may. i am sure plenty of people have written about this before, but i had to get this out.
the first year of nursing has been by far the hardest, scariest, most stressful years i think i will ever experience. its also been the year i have learned more than i ever thought i would. i have grown up a lot this year. not just because i am out of school, but because when i work i am responsible and care for someone other than myself. this year there were moments where i thought "omg there is no way i can do this!!!!!"
then there was my first rapid response. i was so scared i couldve cried. but i sucked it up and fought for that patient harder than i ever thought i could. i had a "feeling" something with the patient wasnt right. i have learned to always trust that feeling. after the first rapid response, i had another patient go south. and i just knew what to do. i felt so proud of myself for learning from a previous case and applying it to help this new patient.
i have learned so many things. i have learned what it means to be a patient advocate. everyday i advocate for my patients in some way or another. i used to be so afraid to call the doctor. i feared "looking stupid". then one day i realized, i'm not stupid. i certainly don't know everything, not by a long shot, but i sure know how to look it up! not knowing something doesn't make me stupid. it gives me more opportunities to learn something new. i have learned to always ask if i am not sure about something. i would much rather ask someone who is more knowledgeable and has "seen it all" than make a mistake.
that brings me to my coworkers. i could not have asked for better coworkers for my first nursing job. the floor i work on is amazing. we really do give great patient care. there is an expectation that everyone works as a team. when one person is falling behind, we all work together to catch them up. if someone is in the middle of an emergency we are all helping either in the room or making sure the rest of the patients are safe and cared for. they have taught me so much.
lastly, i have learned a lot about myself. i have learned to stick up for myself to nurses who are bullies. i have learned to just call the doctor and report something, even if its minor. i have learned that at the end of the day its not about the paycheck, its about the patient. i have learned that i absolutely love this job. while i want to move onto a specialty sooner rather than later, i couldn't think of a better way to begin my career. i can do this! i have so much more to learn!
- 4May 26, '12 by Esme12, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorGood for you! Welcome to the ranks of the insane!
- 0May 26, '12 by unleish05This is so encouraging...I have days where I feel like I might be lookin into the wrong career. I'm still a student. I'm doing my LPN first because I'm not sure if I'd make a good RN. I have the heart for people just wanna make sure this is what I really want to do. I've enjoyed my clinicals so far. so we shall see. I hope you find a good specialty though because you sound like the more advanced version of myself...lol You are sure to be great nurse. I wish you best, peace of mind and many blessings
- 0May 26, '12 by jacksonleoYou sound like you have all the attributes of a great nurse!
- 0May 26, '12 by buytheshoes11Thank you for this post. Some days I feel like I am working, working, working but getting nowhere. You sound like a great nurse!
- 0May 26, '12 by GrnTea, BSN, MSN, RNbrava, katieiam616. welcome to the profession! we need you out here.
- 0May 26, '12 by rncandi01What a great insight! I will be graduating this time next year and I am terrified. I am especially hoping to do labor and delivery so I will have more than one to care for!! I fear looking stupid now but I can blame it on being a student- I know it all comes with learning though! CONGRATS to you!
- 0May 26, '12 by katielam616thanks for all the messages guys! wish you all the best!

From the outside, Destructive Cults can seem wonderful and very appealing. They promise to help you fulfill your dreams and ambitions and offer you: 'The Secrets to Self-Improvement'
'Join our Mission to Save the World'
'Gain Special Powers' along with many others.
But dig beneath the surface and you will discover a sinister world of Lies and Deception where Mind Control and Psychological Coercion are skillfully and subtly used to recruit, indoctrinate and control Cult members.
Destructive Cults all share some of the following characteristics:
Cults use Mind Control to recruit and control members
Cults use Lies and Deception to recruit and will distort or omit information about their true purpose
Cults are Elitist Authoritarian Regimes with a Self Appointed Charismatic Leader accountable to no one
Cults have set up hundreds of Front Groups like 'Management Courses' 'Meditation Centres' 'Bible Study Groups' 'World Peace Organisations' 'Personal Development Centres' etc.
Cults are focused on Making Money (usually from their members) and Recruiting new members
As well as Religious Cults there are also Psychotherapy Cults, Commercial Cults and Political Cults and some Cults that have numerous front organisations are involved in all of these areas.

The performance artist answers our usual 21 questions.
"There's another [Ari Gold] out in Eugene, Oregon, who runs an organic bakery ... He's the Ari Gold most unlike the one on TV."
Plus: Kristen Stewart isn't sure she enjoys how commercial Sundance has become.
Yes — his name is Ari Gold, and the 'Entourage' folks evidently "borrowed" his name for the show's loathsome-lovable agent.

The street summer look can be worn in many different ways depending on how you put each piece together. The basic components are a ballcap, a graphic tee or a tank top, denim shorts (usually folded just above the knee) and hi-top sneakers.
The ballcap is usually sports team oriented and worn with a flat brim. You know back in the day when you would curve the brim of a baseball hat? Although still popular, the flat brim style is usually preferred with this look. (Above: $25 to $45 both from Lids.ca)
First things first, I like to stay in shape. I think it's something that most gay men struggle with, and feel particular pressure around Pride season. Call it whatever you want, but every Men's and Fitness magazine plugs the same thing, but calls it "Summer" or "Beach" body programs.
The guys over at GayBachelorBlog.com have put two of their boys through a rigorous 6 week program with trainer Jeremy Foreshew who is also their latest featured bachelor. You can even follow their program along on Jeremy's website, which is kinda cool to see exactly what these two guys are doing, and seeing their results. Keep it up guys!
Oh, and try to catch the bit about what drinking alcohol does to your body. It's enough to make any lush shed a tear.
Check out the video on the next part of the post.
Summer usually means more social activities such as after work cocktails. Try this "Geek Chic" look for summer dinner parties or just kicking back and sipping beers at the local pub. You can go for the full look or just take bits and pieces to give it your own spin. Here are a few key items from Mr. Porter… I live for this online store right now!
How cute are these bow ties! Nowadays they're no longer limited to dressy events… you can pair this with a nice crisp polo t to give your outfit a fun twist. (Top: Alexander McQueen Plaid Bow Tie $185 Bottom: J.Crew Selvedge Chambray Bow Tie $52)
Come on Vancouver, I know you don't have anything better to do on a Sunday because not much happens there. Trust me, I know! So come out and support a great cause. Order a "Bromosa", that's Strongbow & Orange Juice… it's a man's mimosa ;)
Thirty years ago, on June 5, 1981, U.S. health agencies began tracking unusual clusters of diseases that would later be identified as the first cases diagnosed as AIDS . More than 30 million people have died of AIDS since the first five cases were recognized in Los Angeles in 1981. About 34 million live with HIV around the world.
On JUNE 5th, make a difference in people living with HIV and AIDS.
Join us in a fundraising event to Benefit the Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation and support the people living with HIV/AIDS.

Even though we've had possibly the worst Spring ever, I think it's safe to say that I'm loving Toronto. I've had the chance to venture out into different areas and the city has so much to offer. Little pockets of interesting neighborhoods, art galleries, shopping & restaurants. One month down and it's looking good so far.
I'm also enjoying the anonymity of being new to the city. I haven't had the chance to go out to the clubs & bars yet but I'm not in a rush to since I live here now, there will be plenty of chances to venture out into the nightlife.
This weekend, I went out and bought a few pieces of furniture to fill my semi-empty apartment like a tv stand and a dining table. Now my place feels complete and so comfortable and homey! Having lived in a small studio/bachelor apartment in Vancouver for over 6 years, I did miss certain little things like having a separate bedroom, having a real bed (I had a murphy/wall bed in my studio) & having a real dining table instead of a bar height counter to eat on.
Although it didn't seem like Summer was ever coming back West and here in the East, temperatures have started to warm up. We'll soon be outdoors as much as we can enjoying beaches, pools, patios & BBQ. So what important items should you have in your Summer travel bag? Having these items in your bag allows you to maximize your Summer going from office to the beach. Here are 8 important items you shouldn't go without.
8. Summer slip on shoes – I've been waiting to wear these awesome Houndstooth SlipOn shoes from Sanuk. They're super comfortable from city walking to hanging out on the beach. Don't be afraid to have fun with these slip ons, try them in bright colours too.
Day 21 of the next chapter of my life and everything seems to be going well. I'm finally settled in my new apartment and am now familiar with most of the streets in my neighborhood. I couldn't have picked a better area to be in for the first year since it's close to everything like grocery stores, shopping on Bloor St., restaurants on Yonge St., etc. I'm also only 20-25 minutes walking distance from work.
I survived the first week of work but the first few days was challenging. It's gonna take me a good few weeks to really get settled in at work but I'm looking forward to it. So much to learn about managing projects from start to finish. Dani has been enjoying coming to work with me and everyone loves him. He's adjusted very well to his new home and I'm glad I have him to keep my company.
Do you remember the days when you had to wait an entire week for your HIV test result? That's seven long days recalling every sexual encounter in agonizing – and graphic – detail, over and over. Thankfully, HIV testing has changed – and a new fan video produced by local guys explains how easy (and fast!) getting your results can be.
Tony Correia (of Xtra! and Foodsluts fame) is a huge fan of HIM . Last month, he called some friends together, (including local celeb Redd from Homorazzi.com) to make this video explaining how rapid HIV testing for HIM's Sexual Health Centre works.
It's short, cute, and campy. Basically, we love it. You can view the video on the next part of the post.

Keith Wint - gangster dreams changing
Right click 2 download: 1280x720px h264-mp4 197.0MB
Keith Wint was born in Leicester, where from an early age he sought to fulfil his dreams of being a gangster. Fascinated with guns, he wound up robbing anyone, moving to London, taking it up a scale. The UK wasn't enough, so he went to Spain, got arrested while importing some cocaine in his shoes.
His Christian mother had been praying for him all these years, and kept praying for him, being there for him. And by time God answered those prayers. On his return to the UK after serving 5 years in a Spanish jail, Keith grew increasingly sick of the 'gangster dream' - it had lost its charm - and sought a new life ?a life in Christ. And this he found, its not easy, but its real.

Struggling with your child's behavior?
Get your free Personal Parenting Plan now!
It takes only a few seconds, and you'll get help right away with your child's behavior.
Please answer the following questions:
We'll email your Personal Parenting Plan to you immediately.
Thank you for signing up.
The mom on the other end of the line sounded exhausted: "It feels like we keep having the same arguments over and over. I really need this to stop! How can I turn this around so we can move forward instead of spinning our wheels and digging ourselves deeper?"
It is so maddening to feel like you are experiencing déjà vu, having the same arguments and power struggles every day and feeling powerless to stop it. One parent I spoke with described it as a parenting version of the movie Groundhog Day! As frustrating as this is, believe it or not, it can actually be an advantage to have those same arguments constantly. They can help you anticipate the power struggle, and plan for how your response will differ next time. We call this process "scripting."
Here are some tips to make sure that your script — your planned conversations with your child –Â are as effective as possible. (I'll give you an example of how a parent can use these tips next.)
1. Be calm. The point of scripting is to assist you in remaining calm and objective, and so we recommend letting your child know what the future consequences will be when things are going relatively well. An ideal time to have this conversation is when you are problem-solving with your child after an incident. When you are planning out your child's response with him, you can let him know at that time what your response will be when you are not in the middle of an argument.
2. Be clear. As with planning with your child about what she can do differently, it is helpful if you are very specific in how your response will change, and how you are going to hold her accountable. The more specific you can be, the better! In your script, be sure to address what you will do, when you will do it, and how long your child will experience this consequence.
3. Be consistent. Planning is effective only if the script is followed! It is very important that you pick a consequence that you will not only follow through on, but that you will follow through on every time your child does this behavior, even if you are tired, stressed, or overwhelmed, or your child starts to argue or escalate once it is implemented. As James Lehman reminds us, "It's important to say what you mean and mean what you say, or else what you say becomes meaningless."
Here's an example. Jane is frequently in power struggles with her son Jack over doing his homework. These power struggles usually escalate into all-night arguments, with Jane lecturing Jack on the virtues of doing well in school, and Jack shouting, calling his mother names and not getting his work done. Jane realizes that this is not working, and calls the Parental Support Line for help. After working with the Parent Advisor, Jane develops a script going forward. She has a conversation with Jack about how he will handle homework differently — namely that he will write down his assignments in a planner, and commit to working on his homework at the kitchen table from 4-5 p.m. Once they come up with a plan for how Jack will behave differently, Jane says, "I appreciate you sitting down and talking this over with me, Jack. I hope we see some changes soon. I want to let you know that I will give you one reminder to start your homework from now on. If you choose not to do your homework, I want to let you know that you will not be able to play Xbox that night after dinner." Things are going along well until one night Jack comes home and refuses to do his homework. Jane gives him his reminder, and he retorts, "Why should I? School is stupid and so are you!" Although Jane feels tempted to respond with more yelling, she remembers the plan and walks away from Jack to give him a chance to cool down and make his choice. Ultimately, Jack decides that he is not going to do his homework. Instead of feeling powerless, Jane simply uses the parent controls for the Xbox and turns off Jack's access for the evening. When Jack starts yelling about how she isn't being fair, Jane once again sets the limit and walks away, knowing that she doesn't have to address the yelling at that moment, or justify her consequence.
Taking some time to plan out your response, and letting your child know your response ahead of time, offers a few benefits. By knowing what your response will be to his misbehavior, your child can make an informed decision about whether his inappropriate actions are "worth it" and knows what the consequence will be should he continue. You have the benefit of feeling calmer and more empowered, because you know already how you will respond to your child's misbehavior, and you don't have to try to come up with a plan in the moment.
