I have been working at Paycom full-time (more than 5 years)Pros
I started at Paycom straight out of college over 4 years ago. At the time, I wanted to be in sales so that I could make great money. At the time, I had offers from the usual big name suspects for entry level sales positions, but I chose to work at Paycom because I wanted to be in a company that was in hyper growth mode and who promoted from within. My ultimate goal was to lead others. Honestly at the time, I don't think that I realized exactly what I was getting and that I had made the best decision of my life.
As a new sales rep at Paycom, it is definitely the hardest work you will have done up to that point in your life. We are very straight forward with candidates and new hires about the day to day of your job, which is also a big part of why we have every candidate participate in a phone canvassing session prior to receiving a job offer. In your first year, you are learning all about the industry, our product, sales, etc so it does take hard work and determination. The great thing is that we offer an amazing support system and training program to help you along the way. Once we decide to hire someone, we've decided to give 110% of ourselves to helping them succeed.
Every new rep goes through a 4 week in depth training program which consists of product and sales training. In addition to this, each office manager conducts trainings specific to that rep or their team and what they need help on weekly.
While this is outside B2B sales, most managers communicate with their reps daily and many times more than once throughout the day. We work to assist the reps in their sales and strategy on the accounts they are working. If you are looking for a hands off management style or company, Paycom is not the right place for you.
With your manager and team, there will be much discussion surrounding quota, goals--- numbers wise, professional goals (like moving into management) and personal goals. We work with our team to help them develop all around as a person and not just a number that they're bringing in.
Now, being a sales manager at Paycom, I can say without a doubt that the people who succeed at Paycom are driven, goal oriented, hard working individuals. I am amazing everyday by the achievements that I see happening all around me and I can honestly say that I am grateful everyday to be a part of such an amazing team of sales professionals all across the country. Some of my best friends that I will have for life, I have met at Paycom.
If you're looking for a long term sales career with a growing company, come to Paycom, it will be the best decision of your life!Cons
I don't personally have any cons. Every day you will face challenges and the way you handle them will determine your own level of success. Every tool and support person is at your finger tips, if you're willing to do the work, you will be a very happy and wealthy person at a very young age.Advice to ManagementAdvice

This is a message sent to the White House Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of the Office of Public Engagement after White House staff members met with Virginia community leaders through Virginia Organizing on Friday, June 13 2012.

Cornell West on How Intellectuals Betrayed the Poor.
We've been talking a lot lately about how our most powerful actions are now, and will continue to be, about how we connect locally and become interdependent in our own communities.
Here is a collection of resources that helps define the terms and shape the way we envision the future beginning very close to home.

UPDATE 3.05: The U.K.'s Guardian blog profiles William Gagan and Geoffery Shively, two citizen journalists who honed their live streaming and reporting skills at Occupy and went onto Syria, one of the most dangerous places in the world for reporters of any skill level.
This week we premiered Occupy Harrionsburg's Ustream Channel at our first Cash Mob. While live streaming video might seem a bit underwhelming from OHB'S first action with it – the technology is posing a huge challenge to mainstream news gathering by propelling the Occupy Wall Street movement directly to interested viewers. Live streaming holds both police and protesters accountable for their actions with instantly accessible images. It also allows viewers to interact live with the broadcaster through direct messages to the broadcaster's screen while she or he is recording.

This week after we enacted our monthly Move-Your-Money Action we saw Occupy Harrisonburg's first Cash Mob (A group gathers a pre-determined location at a pre-determined time and spends money there). In OHB's case we mobbed Downtown Books and Shenk's Bakery to honor and invest in local business versus corporate stores.
We also premiered our Ustream channel, called The Occupy Harrisonburg Channel which is explained a bit further here.
And here is Bob Bersson's Action Report:
February 4th Action Day: Move Your Money and The First Cash Mob!
A nice turnout of button-wearing Occupy Harrisonburg members–Tim Wiggins, Levi Mason, Paulette Moore, Jim Van Orden, Michael Feikema, Ray Gingerich, Heather Banks, Linda Royster, Doug Hendren, Nancy Beall, and Bob Bersson—on a grey, chilly day.

Help Save The ENDANGERED
Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus
From EXTINCTION!
The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus
Rare photo of the elusive tree octopus
The Pacific Northwest tree octopus (Octopus paxarbolis) can be found in the temperate rainforests of the Olympic Peninsula on the west coast of North America. Their habitat lies on the Eastern side of the Olympic mountain range, adjacent to Hood Canal. These solitary cephalopods reach an average size (measured from arm-tip to mantle-tip,) of 30-33 cm. Unlike most other cephalopods, tree octopuses are amphibious, spending only their early life and the period of their mating season in their ancestral aquatic environment. Because of the moistness of the rainforests and specialized skin adaptations, they are able to keep from becoming desiccated for prolonged periods of time, but given the chance they would prefer resting in pooled water.
An intelligent and inquisitive being (it has the largest brain-to-body ratio for any mollusk), the tree octopus explores its arboreal world by both touch and sight. Adaptations its ancestors originally evolved in the three dimensional environment of the sea have been put to good use in the spatially complex maze of the coniferous Olympic rainforests. The challenges and richness of this environment (and the intimate way in which it interacts with it,) may account for the tree octopus's advanced behavioral development. (Some evolutionary theorists suppose that "arboreal adaptation" is what laid the groundwork in primates for the evolution of the human mind.)
Reaching out with one of her eight arms, each covered in sensitive suckers, a tree octopus might grab a branch to pull herself along in a form of locomotion called tentaculation; or she might be preparing to strike at an insect or small vertebrate, such as a frog or rodent, or steal an egg from a bird's nest; or she might even be examining some object that caught her fancy, instinctively desiring to manipulate it with her dexterous limbs (really deserving the title "sensory organs" more than mere "limbs",) in order to better know it.
Map of estimated tree octopus maximum range, including spawning waters
Tree octopuses have eyesight comparable to humans. Besides allowing them to see their prey and environment, it helps them in inter-octopus relations. Although they are not social animals like us, they display to one-another their emotions through their ability to change the color of their skin: red indicates anger, white fear, while they normally maintain a mottled brown tone to blend in with the background.
The reproductive cycle of the tree octopus is still linked to its roots in the waters of the Puget Sound from where it is thought to have originated. Every year, in Spring, tree octopuses leave their homes in the Olympic National Forest and migrate towards the shore and, eventually, their spawning grounds in Hood Canal. There, they congregate (the only real social time in their lives,) and find mates. After the male has deposited his sperm, he returns to the forests, leaving the female to find an aquatic lair in which to attach her strands of egg-clusters. The female will guard and care for her eggs until they hatch, refusing even to eat, and usually dying from her selflessness. The young will spend the first month or so floating through Hood Canal, Admiralty Inlet, and as far as North Puget Sound before eventually moving out of the water and beginning their adult lives.
Why It's Endangered
Although the tree octopus is not officially listed on the Endangered Species List, we feel that it should be added since its numbers are at a critically low level for its breeding needs. The reasons for this dire situation include: decimation of habitat by logging and suburban encroachment; building of roads that cut off access to the water which it needs for spawning; predation by foreign species such as house cats; and booming populations of its natural predators, including the bald eagle and sasquatch. What few that make it to the Canal are further hampered in their reproduction by the growing problem of pollution from farming and residential run-off. Unless immediate action is taken to protect this species and its habitat, the Pacific Northwest tree octopus will be but a memory.
The possibility of Pacific Northwest tree octopus extinction is not an unwarranted fear. Other tree octopus species—including the Douglas octopus and the red-ringed madrona sucker—were once abundant throughout the Cascadia region, but have since gone extinct because of threats similar to those faced by paxarbolis, as well as overharvesting by the now-illegal tree octopus trade.
The history of the tree octopus trade is a sad one. Their voracious appetite for bird plumes having exhausted all the worthy species of that family, the fashionistas moved on to cephalopodic accoutrements during the early 20th Century. Tree octopuses became prized by the fashion industry as ornamental decorations for hats, leading greedy trappers to wipe out whole populations to feed the vanity of the fashionable rich. While fortunately this practice has been outlawed, its effects still reverberate today as these millinery deprivations brought tree octopus numbers below the critical point where even minor environmental change could cause disaster.
How You Can Help
Here are a few things that you can do to help save the Pacific Northwest tree octopus:
- Write your representatives to let them know that you are concerned and that you feel the tree octopus should be included on the Endangered Species List and given special protection.
- Help build awareness of the tree octopus by telling your friends and co-workers.
- Place a tentacle ribbon on your website.
- Participate in tree octopus awareness marches. You can demonstrate their plight during the march by having your friends dress up as tree octopuses while you attack them in a lumberjack costume.
- Pamphlet your neighborhood. Tentacle ribbons make excellent doorknob hangers.
- Join and donate to an organization committed to conservation, such as Greenpeas.
- Boycott companies that use non-tree-octopus-safe wood harvesting practices.
- Sign an online petition! Nothing activates activity like an Internet petition.
- 2010-05-01: Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race includes tree-octopus-awareness vehicle.
- 2009-04-01: Demonstration by students from Montrose Elementary in Bexley, Ohio.
Spread awareness and provide shelter for tree octopuses with our Tree Octopus Activities.

More trouble for Springs Transmissions owner
Updated On: Oct 03 2012 05:54:40 PM CDT
Springs Transmissions and Automotive owner, Greg Ehnes, is facing more charges Wednesday.
Ehnes was arrested at his business in the 3300 block of Chelton Loop Wednesday morning by Colorado Springs Police on a warrant. He is charged with felony theft and crimes against at-risk adults.
Last month, Ehnes and his employees Donald McKnight and Jason White were charged with false reporting to authorities and conspiracy, both misdemeanor charges. Police said McKnight and White were driving the customer's car in July when they crashed into a guardrail on I-25 in Fountain and fled the scene. Police said Ehnes knew about the crash as well as his employees' false report that they were held at gunpoint by two men who stole the car.
Springs Transmission and Automotive is being investigated by Colorado Springs Police for possible theft through fraudulent business practices. Police said there may be upwards of 50 victims.

July 26, 2013 | The results in just a handful of Senate races in November 2014 -- four, maybe five -- will likely go a long way in determining which party will walk away from the midterm elections with a chamber majority. But challengers to the incumbents in these seats have more than name recognition issues to overcome.

Senators Backed By Pro-Choice Interests Block New Abortion Restrictions
December 9, 2009 | As the U.S. Senate weighs contentious changes to federal abortion policy, the Center for Responsive Politics has also found that pro-choice interests have given sitting senators roughly six times as much as pro-life interests have contributed to them. CRP has further found that senators who voted in favor of tabling an anti-abortion amendment offered by Sen.

Embattled Lobbying Firm PMA Targeted Members of Defense Committees
February 12, 2009 | The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny. The lobbyists at PMA Group have been Murtha's fifth most generous campaign donor over time, but he is just one of 284 members of the 111th Congress who have collected money from the firm, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. In total, PMA Group's employees and its political action committee have given current members of Congress $3.4 million since 1989.
Races to Watch VII: Where Cash Has No Competition
October 2, 2008 | Like reading tea leaves, one way to predict how a congressional race is going to go is by looking at the disparity in fundraising between the candidates. So far this election cycle, 280 House and Senate incumbents on November's ballot have collected at least 10 times more than the opponent they face in the general election. In this installment of Races to Watch, Capital Eye looks into why some of these incumbents have been such successful fundraisers.
Races to Watch VI: Candidates Backed by PACs
October 1, 2008 | More than a quarter of the money raised by congressional candidates on the November ballot has come from business and labor PACs, not from individual donors, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. Capital Eye has profiled some races where labor union and business PAC money is playing the largest role.
Races to Watch V: Lobbyists' Favorite Candidates
September 30, 2008 | Registered lobbyists aren't just getting the attention of lawmakers while on the job. Like any other member of the public, they, too, are able to contribute up to the maximum amount per election to candidates of their choice. The Center for Responsive Politics has identified the congressional races with candidates who are receiving the most money from registered lobbyists.
Races to Watch IV: Money Flowing from Oil and Gas
September 29, 2008 | The oil and gas industry, under the spotlight this fall with energy at the forefront of political discourse, isn't hesitating to put some of its record profits into the hands of candidates who support its cause (or those it's seeking to convert). So far this election cycle, the oil and gas industry has given $12.3 million total to congressional candidates. The nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics has identified the candidates who have received the most money from oil and gas interests in this election cycle, and Capital Eye selected a few races to more deeply examine the impact of well-digger dollars on politics.
Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank Regulation
September 23, 2008 | The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.
Superdelegate Update
February 28, 2008 | In an update to Capital Eye's Feb. 14 report, campaign contributions from Obama and Clinton now total nearly $950,000 and have predicted endorsements about 80 percent of the time.

Cracking the Contribution Cap: One in a Million Americans
September 2, 2014 | Americans who have taken advantage of the Supreme Court's decision earlier this year to toss aside overall political contribution limits are one in a million. Actually, they're slightly fewer than one in a million. Of the 318 million people in the U.S., a whopping 310 donors have given more than the total $123,200 they were allowed to…
Tracking Your Representatives' Health Care Cash
June 25, 2009 | Here's a cool tool that brings together data from various parts of OpenSecrets.org to show how much money each current lawmaker has raised from various health-related industries and the health sector overall since 1989 (including President Obama's haul).
Vote Highlights Tension For Senators Between Constituents, Funders
May 1, 2009 | The finance, insurance & real estate sector has been the No. 1 career contributor to six of twelve Democratic senators who voted against a bill that the industry opposed.
Brothers Grim: Is Lehman Next?
September 12, 2008 | Uncle Sam bailed out Freddie Mac and the company's twin sister, Fannie Mae, this week, and the next in line in the Wall Street family to get a helping hand might just be Lehman Brothers. Executives at the struggling investment bank are looking to sell the company with assistance from the government--and fast--as its stock plunges. Although the government isn't expected to completely bail out Lehman Brothers, the fourth-largest U.S. investment bank, the company has built a strong financial relationship with politicians over the years and coincidentally ranks fourth in the largest contributors in the race for the White House.
Update: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Invest in Lawmakers
September 11, 2008 | When the federal government announced two months ago that it would be seizing mortgage buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, CRP looked at how much money members of Congress had collected since 1989 from the companies. On Sunday the government proceeded with the takeover and we've returned to our data to bring you the updates, this time providing a list of all 354 lawmakers who have gotten money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (in July we posted the top 25).

Professionalism: Last but not the least, designers of atrium custom homes need to treat the project timelines and budget with the respect that they deserve. Asking for more money mid way or delaying the project is undesirable and can cause the client a lot of anxiety. True professionals make sure that they agree on a budget and time plan and stick to it.

I think the knowledge on casein and nutrient timing in general is evolving very quickly right now. Just a few years back more people would have been very keen on using casein at night. But more and more it's becoming apparent that you can achieve similar results using such a large number of variations in diet that the actual approach seems far less important than the daily caloric and macro goals. Intermittent fasting may be responsible for this shift in attitudes as it has kind of blown the doors off the old logic that you needed to constantly eat to fuel your muscles.
I'll see if I can't throw together a very simplified version for many of the most common vits/minerals and make a post on it to get feedback from others. If it turns out well we can link that here. But posts like Pinch's below are a good start for covering minerals.

Significant Notes
Draft Bobcat Management Plan Available for Public Comment
The public is invited to comment on DEC's proposed plan for guiding management of New York State's bobcat populations through the next five years. The draft plan describes three primary goals: maintain viable population levels and monitor trends in bobcat distribution and abundance; provide for sustainable harvest and enjoyment of bobcat by the public; and minimize negative bobcat-human interactions. Visit DEC's website to find the draft bobcat plan and comment submission information. Comments will be accepted through February 16, 2012.
New Staff Hired for New York State Fish Hatcheries
Eleven new employees, including ten fish culturists and one biologist, have been hired to work in New York State's fish hatcheries. Filling vacancies left by retirements in 2011, the fish culturists will work at DEC's hatcheries across the state, assisting in all aspects of growing and stocking fish. The new biologist will work with the fish health unit at the Rome hatchery, assisting in surveillance and treatment of fish diseases. Bringing hatcheries back to required staffing levels is a worthwhile investment. Anglers spend an estimated $530 million annually on fishing in New York State, due in large part to the approximately 900,000 pounds of hatchery-raised fish produced each year. Other information on New York State's fish hatcheries is available on DEC's website.
Register Your Kids for DEC Summer Camp
Send your child on a week-long conservation education adventure at one of our four environmental education camps this summer. For only $350, campers ages 11 through 17 can participate in a wide variety of outdoor activities, including fishing, bird watching, fly tying, archery, canoeing, hiking, camping, orienteering and hunter safety education. Campers also learn about fields, forests, streams and ponds through fun, hands-on activities and outdoor exploration. Starting January 28, applications should be mailed with the required fee to reserve a spot. Applications and details are available on DEC's website.
Pheasant Cooperative Program Applications Due by March 15
Partner with DEC in a cooperative program to help raise pheasants and release them for the fall hunting season. To participate, you must have a brooding facility and covered outdoor rearing pen, as well as an identified release site that is open to the public and approved by DEC. For more information and how to apply, review the DEC press release. For guidance and details on raising and releasing pheasants, review DEC's Cooperative Day-old Pheasant Chick Program Guide (PDF) (454 KB).
Black Sea Bass Commercial Fishery Closes January 29
The commercial fishery black sea bass harvest will close on January 29. The fishery is expected to re-open in the middle of May. Other details on fish harvest limits and draft quota distribution plans are available on DEC's Commercial Fishing webpage.
Learn About What We Do: Review Our Latest Monthly Highlights

Did You Know...?
Bald eagle flying over icy open water
with a fish in its talons.
~Photo by Eric Shaw
To survive the frigid months, some bald eagles fly more than 900 miles from Canada to the open waters of the Hudson and Delaware rivers in New York State, where they can hunt for their favorite food -- fish. Hundreds of bald eagles congregate in these open water areas throughout the winter to maintain a healthy diet prior to their breeding season.
January and February are the best times to view bald eagles in New York State. Visit DEC's Watchable Wildlife: Bald Eagle webpage for information on where to view these breathtaking birds and for additional interesting facts.

Waiting for the Parade
Much like American women of the 1940′s, the women in Waiting for the Parade are united by their efforts to support the boys "over there." Their wartime friendship deepens as they learn to smile, and sing, in the face of loss and loneliness. As the women experience highs and lows, confronting themselves as well as each other, the war at home becomes as real as the one in Europe. Waiting for the Parade is a play about humanity and camaraderie, as well as world war.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. It fits a little small, but I knew it would probably be the case going in, so I ordered the 10/12 for my 8 year old. I just wish it was glow in the dark!

I bought this costume for my son two Halloween's ago and within one night's trick-or-treating, the hood/mask and the gloves were both ripping. I had thought that we could have kept the costume for future play, but that didn't happen. My son and I were both sad to see it going into the trash, but into the trash it went.

Weph fierce!
impromptu trip to michigan will be happening this weekend.
i'm going with one of my favorite people
to see one of my favorite bands
what a lucky girl
can't wait
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

Like most of the vendors in the Inventors Spotlight section of the 2010 National Hardware Show (NHS), Kalvin Vogt was confined to an 8-ft.-wide space that ran approximately 4 ft. deep. But he was right at the entrance with his crystal doorknobs, which are illuminated from inside with LED lights.
"We had Home Depot come in the first 15 minutes of the first day," said Vogt, CEO of Krystal Touch of New York Inc. This being his first time at the show, Vogt and his associates were stunned. "We were ready to leave right after that," he joked.
Although Vogt wasn't prepared to supply a big retailer like Home Depot — "we were just an Internet company selling doorknobs" — he and the buyer talked about a possible product test in a year's time. Vogt also talked to Amazon.com; a number of independent reps; and two Canadian retail chains, Rona and Home Hardware.
Over the last 12 months, Krystal Touch has ramped up production and expanded its line to 83 SKUs. Its custom business has taken off, and the Walt Disney Co. asked him to create a prototype for its home decor line.
Expect to see Vogt back at the 2011 NHS, in the Inventors Spotlight section, prepared to take orders. "When we go back this year we'll be ready," he said.
The NHS always brings together the brightest ideas in the home improvement industry, and last year's event featured a New Product World section in four different areas, plus the Inventors Spotlight. Steve Costello, president of Better Products, was another first-timer at the 2010 show. "I didn't have Home Depot knocking down my door last year, but I could have gotten into more [distribution] avenues," he said. "I was trying to curb my enthusiasm and not do something disastrous."
Costello has an innovative product that transports raked leaves from one part of the yard to another, then to the curb or compost pile. Called the Leaf Lugger, it's basically a tarp with rigid edges that folds easily into a pyramid.
This year, Costello is ready to handle more accounts from his production facility near the Philadelphia airport. He's open to more catalog business or to possibly broaden into other channels. And he likes the snug little Inventors Spotlight section, which drew good foot traffic last year, he said, adding: "Someone could go through the whole section in 10 minutes if they wanted to."
Other vendors, preferring a larger venue, chose to showcase their inventions in one of the New Products Worlds or the New Product Launch. Dan O'Very of Fertile Earth, which brings a new product every year to the NHS, debuted the Simple Garden in 2010, an all-in-one indoor gardening kit for growing vegetables or herbs.
"Last year's [NHS] was the most productive trade show we attended," O'Very said. "We met with numerous domestic and international buyers." O'Very was particularly happy to move up from the smaller independents he met in 2009 to the regional chains like Westlake Hardware and Fred Meyer. Buyers from Crate & Barrel and Home Shopping Network also stopped by the booth. The company's network of sales reps brought several merchants by in anticipation of future meetings. "It certainly helps when a buyer can see your product first," O'Very said.
So what is he unveiling in 2011? The GardenMaster 3D. "You can plant up to 6 ft. of garden in 2 ft. of space by using the top and sides," he explained.
Always Green Lawn Paint will be sitting out the 2011 NHS for several reasons, according to owner Dawn Marks. Traveling is difficult for her and her partner, Emily Smith, because of family commitments. Plus, they're still working off the leads they got from the 2010 show.
"We were very happy with the appointments with buyers and sales we got from the show," Marks said. They saw a number of catalog and online retailers, which is their target retail channel. "Big boxes want us to cut out prices so much it would cost us to sell to them," she said.

Twinning, networking and partnerships: Limoges has taken globalisation fully on board. The town supports associations with international projects, in particular those that are working for development. The town also directly sets up international solidarity actions.

Limoges forges links with cities worldwide
Their porcelain-manufacturing heritage is more than something in common… it is a precious asset to be promoted beyond their national borders.
International solidarity
In a difficult economic and social climate, civic-mindedness is more necessary than ever before.
UNIC – the European Urban Innovation in Ceramics network of ceramic-producing cities
The legacy of its prestigious past in the field of the "Arts du Feu", ("Fire Arts" encompassing porcelain, enamel and glass-making) and its new skills in the field of technical ceramics have naturally led Limoges to coordinate the UNIC (Urban Innovation in Ceramics Network): a European network of ceramic-producing cities.
This network, formed in the framework of the URBACT 2 programme, includes nine member cities which share a common industrial and craft-based heritage based on ceramics. Its aims are to protect the legacies on which the reputation of these cities was built, defend jobs, businesses and expertise, invest in order to promote the trades of the future and finally, to stimulate harmonious urban development.
The Ceramic Route
City of Limoges, the delegates of the European network UNIC (Urban Network for Innovation in Ceramics) and those from the Asian cities that share a strong tradition in ceramics, created an international network.

Limoges is the sponsor of the "Tonnerre" Landing Helicopter Dock

Stocks in Motion: Homestore
Shares of Homestore (HOMS) were among the Nasdaq's winners Friday, rising 39% after the online real estate company posted second-quarter results that were better than Wall Street expectations.
The company reported earnings of $3.3 million, or 2 cents a share, on sales of $63.3 million. Results included a legal expense of $4.2 million and a $1.4 million reduction of previous restructuring charges. Analysts polled by Thomson First Call were expecting a loss of 2 cents a share on sales of $58.6 million. A year ago, the company posted a loss of $4.3 million, or 3 cents a share, on sales of $54.3 million. Year-ago results included a $2.2 million litigation settlement expense. Shares were trading up 99 cents to $3.55.
Design Within Reach (DWRI) fell 22% after the company previewed second-quarter earnings that fell below expectations and lowered its 2005 earnings outlook. The design furnishings and accessories company reported preliminary earnings of $1.4 million, or 9 cents a share, on sales of $41.9 million. Analysts were expecting earnings of 10 cents a share on sales of $39 million. A year ago, the company earned $806,000, or 7 cents a share, on sales of $28.2 million. Looking ahead, Design Within Reach now expects 2005 earnings of 40 cents to 42 cents a share, which is well below its previous guidance of 51 cents a share. Guidance "reflects the company's decision to minimize the use of promotional activity to offset product and shipping margin pressures and additional Sarbanes-Oxley compliance expenses," the company said. As for the sales, the company remains comfortable with guidance of $160 million to $165 million. Analysts had been expecting earnings of 51 cents a share on sales of $167.5 million. Shares were trading down $3.78 to $13.41.
Shares of Provide Commerce (PRVD) rose 21% after the e-commerce marketplace operator previewed fourth-quarter results that topped expectations.

Mythic's Paul Barnett offers a glimpse into the embattled world of the Empire.
GameSpy had a chance to talk to Paul Barnett and get a preview of the Empire, one of the factions in the upcoming Warhammer Online.
It would be difficult to find someone who will speak on the topic of Warhammer with more impassioned fervor than Mythic's Paul Barnett. The man seems to channel the spirits of the orcs, dwarves, and Chaos Marauders that populate the brutal world that he's helping to bring to life. As such, we could not think of anyone better to talk with us about the latest in-game faction for Warhammer: Age of Reckoning that Mythic has decided to unveil: the Empire. As you'd expect from the Warhammer universe, this human nation, to paraphrase Mr. Barnett, is teetering on the edge of annihilation at the hands of a multitude of assailants, not the least of which is humanity's own tendency to take the violent measures necessary for survival to wild extremes.

A Look at Stargate Worlds
GamersInfo has taken the time to post a preview of Stargate Worlds. Keep reading to see if they think that this will be a hit or a flop.
While Stargate has historically been a squad-based experienced, there have been instances where individuals were necessary to complete missions. Knowing this and keeping the solo-player in mind, they're hoping to strike a balance. Though, as it is a multi-player game, they will provide rewards for "regular squad" play – the Stargate version of a guild.

Sprawl's Scrawl - First Impressions of Closed Beta
WoW Vault has posted a preview of WoW's upcoming expansion, The Burning Crusade. This preview is full of impressions from closed beta, so don't miss out!
One of the first things you notice upon logging into Burning Crusade beta is a number of quick popup boxes that indict that the system is scanning for viruses and the like. It's good to see that Blizzard is taking active steps at keeping a blacklist of known exploits. Once again the new player is presented with a view of the Dark Portal, this time from the Outland side. At this point, if you haven't upgraded your account with a key, do not expect to login.

Boomtown Brings Us an Hands-On Preview of Nightfall
Boomtown has posted their latest look at the upcoming Guild Wars expansion. They had a chance to play Nightfall. Keep reading to find out what they thought...
So here we are again, logging on for God knows which time, this time preparing to get into the next chapter of the saga, Nightfall. The title screen now has a sort of African-Arabian from-the-desert-to-the-seas thing going, and as usual, Jeremy Soule's music fits the mood. It feels like I'm about to date an old flame again, and she's changed ever so subtly, but somehow significantly. The thing is, though, that she's still the same, my Guild Wars. She may now have even more to do, this time focusing on single-player content rather than the multiplayer-fest that is Factions, she may have two new classes, the Dervish and the Paragon, lots of new items, quests, et cetera up her sleeve, but really, folks, she is the same.

What is Outlands like? What are the two new race areas like? How is the new loot?
Voodoo Extreame has a preview to answer all of these questions.
The Burning Crusade closed beta is finally out, and after much gnashing of teeth, I have stopped playing long enough to be able to write up some "hands on" impressions of the game. I do not want to bore you all with the details of every little minute detail of what has gone into The Burning Crusade expansion pack, and the truth is, a lot of things have been beat to death in other previews.

World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Updated Hands-On - The Two New Races
GameSpot has taken the time to look at the blood elf and draenei characters that will appear in the upcoming expansion The Burning Crusade.
Thousands of players from around the globe log into the game daily, and nightly (and daily, and nightly, and daily, and nightly) to play as a wizard, warrior, or thief in the colorful Warcraft fantasy universe. And (hopefully) later this year, the studio will release The Burning Crusade, the expansion pack for the game which will add plenty of high-level content for veterans as well as two new playable fantasy races to build new characters with. We took the opportunity to get in-depth with the two new races, the fanatical blood elves of the monstrous Horde faction and the mystical draenei characters of the noble Alliance.

This is what Whizzedout tries to answer. They have posted a detailed look at ArchLord.
You start of with creating your avatar, which I must say is very limited and you only have a handful of races and classes to pick from. Whats worse is the fact you cant select which gender you are, I fancied playing a Ranger but was only allowed to play as a female, now im one of those persons that likes to think every female characther you come across in the game is a real female in real life, not some 40 year old fat bloke.

Emanuel to name Newark chief Garry McCarthy as new top cop
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter May 2, 2011 12:42AM
Updated: September 24, 2012 6:25AM
Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel today will introduce Newark, N.J. , police chief Garry McCarthy as Chicago's new police superintendent, sources said, gambling that McCarthy's big city experience will overcome the fact that he is another outsider.
McCarthy replaces Jody Weis, a career FBI agent who rank and file police officers never accepted because they viewed him as an outsider who didn't have their backs.
Sources said that in his new post, McCarthy will be surrounded, Emanuel-style, with a "team" of public safety experts.
Former Marine training director Gary Schenkel, a top official in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security who ran the Chicago Police Academy under Terry Hillard, will return to Chicago as director of the Office of Emergency Management and Communications.
Fire Commissioner Robert Hoff, a second-generation battalion chief whose father died in the line-of-duty at the age of 44, will be retained.
And Felicia Davis, a former Chicago cop and Emanuel campaign aide, will serve as the new mayor's chief liason on public safety issues.
Schenkel's return to Chicago from the Department of Homeland Security is viewed as a coup for Chicago. He and Hillard met in 1998, when Schenkel was one of 80 Marines spending three days in Chicago touring bridges and sewers as they studied how to work in urban combat zones. A year later, Hillard asked his fellow Marine to run the police academy and spearhead Hillard's push to improve training in the wake of the fatal police shootings of two unarmed civilians — LaTanya Haggerty and Robert Russ — during the same summer weekend. The shootings prompted Hillard to ask the John Marshall Law School to study the department's training procedures. Among the school's recommendations was updated training for every officer in the department — not just recruits in the academy. Hillard also installed video cameras in police cars and ordered a new firearm simulator that tests officers' judgement in more than 400 different situations.
Four years later, Hillard's replacement Phil Cline ousted Schenkel from the training academy job.
Last week, McCarthy, who will celebrate his 52nd birthday later this week, demonstrated that he is keenly aware of the morale problems he is inheriting.
He told the Chicago Sun-Times that he would not put on the Chicago Police Department's uniform without first earning the right to do so by getting certified as an Illinois law enforcement officer.
But it's going to take a lot more than that to restore morale that plummeted under Weis.
Police Board President Demetrius Carney believes that the second-generation cop has the police pedigree to do that.
He noted that McCarthy walked a beat and commanded three separate New York City precincts before becoming the chief architect of the Big Apple's crime control strategy.
"He is an outsider. But this time, that outsider is not from the FBI. This is an outsider who understands policing and understands the plight of beat patrol," Carney said.
"Beat patrol is the backbone of the department. He's walked in those shoes. He understands beat patrol. He's a cop's cop. We, as a board, felt he could hit the ground running Because of his crime-fighting strategy, we felt he would be well-received by the rank-and-file."
Sources said what sold Emanuel was McCarthy's 30 years of experience leading big-city departments and his proven track record of implementing innovative strategies that worked to reduce crime.
As the New York City Police Department's former operations chief, McCarthy was the force behind the CompStat program credited with dramatically reducing New York's homicide rate. Under the program, police commanders are called before a review board on a monthly basis and held accountable for crime spikes.
McCarthy also helped call the shots in New York after the 2001 terrorist attacks.
Last week, Emanuel tipped his hand toward McCarthy when he talked about the need for the new superintendent to have the experience required to get a running start.
"I get sworn in May 16. What do we all know about crime? It spikes in the summer. I don't want to waste a single day," he said.
As police director in Newark since 2006, McCarthy's strategies to combat narcotics and gun violence have been credited with producing a 12 percent reduction in overall crime, a 40 percent decline in shooting incidents and homicides and a 23 percent cut in civilian complaints against his officers. His 32 percent reduction in Newark's murder rate reportedly led the nation in 2008.
More recently, a budget crisis in Newark has forced McCarthy to lay off 100 of the officers he hired in recent years.
In Chicago, McCarthy inherits a Chicago Police Department more than 2,300 officers a day short of authorized strength., including vacancies, officers on limited duty and medical leave. Emanuel has promised to bolster the number of street officers by 1,000. officers, in part, by altering an overly generous sick-leave policy. that allows officers to take an 365 sick days every two years. He has vowed to hire an additional 250 officers with funds generated by tax-increment-financing districts.
McCarthy is only the third outsider in 50 years — but the second in the last three years — to serve as Chicago police superintendent. The length and terms of his contract were not known. Mayor Daley agreed to pay Weis an unprecedented $310,000 to serve as police superintendent and chief emergency officer. Weis was stripped of the second title a few months after he arrived in Chicago.
In 2003, McCarthy was a finalist for the superintendent's job, only to have Daley choose Phil Cline, who parroted some of McCarthy's ideas. The New Yorker took a pass in 2008 and planned to do the same this time, only to be encouraged to apply after the sky-high salary demands of the mayor-elect's first- choice — former Chicagoan-turned-Philadelphia police Chief Charles Ramsey — nixed Ramsey's candidacy.
Chicago aldermen who must approve McCarthy's appointment were mixed in their reactions to the New Yorker.
Ald. Carrie Austin (34th) said choosing another outsider as police superintendent is no way to improve morale that hit rock-bottom under Weis.
"Why is it that no one ever reaches down in our own rank-and-file? Where is their aspiration to ever become superintendent? It will never come if you're constantly going on the outside. Why would I be a deputy chief and aspire to become superintendent when you go around me every time?" she said.
Austin was even more troubled by the fact that Emanuel, whose landslide victory was sealed by carrying every one of the city's black wards, has chosen a white police superintendent, a white fire commissioner and a white 911 center chief.
"Nobody is black at the top. At least Mayor Daley did have some African-Americans around him. It appears now that Mayor Emanuel has no blacks around him," Austin said.
Reminded that newly-appointed Schools CEO Jean Claude Brizard is black, Austin said, "That's not us. Even though that's a sister agency of ours, that's not in this City Hall."
Ald. Michelle Harris (8th), chairman of the City Council's Police Committee, said she looks forward to putting McCarthy on the City Council "hot seat."
"The mayor has the right to come in and pick his new leadership team — people he feels are competent enough to do the job. He has to come in and pick a team that he's comfortable" Harris said.
"I'm not the person running the city. The person who's running the city and gonna get kicked. . . ..for good and bad . . . has to make that hard decision on who he feels he can best work with and best lead the city in the direction that he wants to go."
Asked if she's troubled that the new police superintendent is not African-American, Harris said, "Jody Weis wasn't black.

UA Undergrad Innovates How Businesses Create Schedules
When he was 16 years old, Tyler McCarley had an idea.
Today, his idea has morphed into an innovation being used by more than 4,000 companies in all 50 states.
Now just a month shy of his 22nd birthday, McCarley, a senior marketing major at the University of Arkansas, is the owner and president of MyWorkShift Inc., a company currently without walls, but still enjoying success as the result of its proprietary cloud-based Web application MyWorkShift.com.
McCarley said the technology offers a streamlined way for employees to access their work schedules, reduces miscommunications about scheduling, and saves companies money.
"It's been a big learning process," McCarley said. "I'm not a computer guy, just an entrepreneur."
The Little Rock native said the idea grew from his own experience working at a restaurant while in high school. He recognized a need for efficiency and convenience in creating work schedules.
"Scheduling was chaotic for managers and employees, and it backfired on me one day when I was at the lake with my family and I got a call from my boss, telling me I was three hours late for work," he said.
Companies who use MyWorkShift span a wide range of industries, including health care, education, government agencies and hospitality.
McCarley said the website has been online for a little more than a year, and can be beneficial to both hourly and salaried employees.
"Companies are still looking for a way to have a master schedule online, and track hours for company records," he said.
McCarley's company has three employees, and he said he hopes to have a physical office presence soon in Fayetteville.
A newer version of MyWorkShift is also in the works for the first quarter of 2013. The update will take the product to an on-demand software — it is presently available free for companies — with a monthly charge for the service. The application will feature more tools and a redesigned interface.
"My vision is for MyWorkShift to be an avenue for a suite of other software aimed at working on efficiency in the workplace," he said.

129 Burton to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram 57 NEW DELHI, 20 January 1949, 10.35 p.m.
My immediately following telegram.
At the opening session 13 representatives spoke shortly. Generally the tone was good, little reference being made to Palestine and French Indo China and all representatives without exception stressing work with and through the United Nations.
2. There was a tendency on the part of some to regard the conference as Asian in racial rather than regional sense.
3. Although speaking was alphabetical, we were able to arrange not to be called at first and towards the end took the opportunity to make a few remarks summarised in following telegram stressing 'The Australian Government would give early consideration to observations and reports, which would be carried back, by its officials sent to the Conference for this purpose'.
4. Session followed interview we had with the United States Ambassador, which is separately reported in which he stressed the need for us to off-set any impressions of East-West line up which he regards as more dangerous than Soviet influence. The Indian Delegate also sought our co-operation in controlling Arab countries from exploiting the conference. We spoke in this context and behind the scene, and the work of the session was a surprise to all as there was complete support for United Nations and a [remarkable] [1] absence of reference to other situations.
