MNA/NNU Statement Opposing The Cambridge Health Alliance Plan To Close Desperately Needed Child Psychiatric Beds
CHA Plans to Close Eleven Psychiatric Treatment Beds for Young Children With Acute Mental Illness
The Loss of CHA's Psychiatric Beds Comes at a Time of a Critical Shortage of Beds for Children and Adolescents with Mental Illness in the State, When Children Languish for Days or Even Weeks in Hospital EDs Waiting for These Beds
MNA/NNU Will Call for Public Hearing by Department of Public Health to Determine if This Plan Constitutes the Loss of an Essential Service
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In the wake of the announcement today by Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA) of a controversial plan to close eleven child psychiatric beds, specifically beds dedicated to the care of children age 3 – 9, the Massachusetts Nurses Association/National Nurses United has announced its strong opposition to this plan as it represents an abandonment of a population of children who need the care provided by this award-winning program.(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20060525/NETH016LOGO) Currently, Cambridge Health Alliance operates two separate units for the care of children and adolescents with acute mental illness: a 13-bed Child Assessment Unit (CAU) for children ages 3 -12; and a separate 14-bed Adolescent Assessment Unit for children 12 -19. The CHA plan is to consolidate these units, reducing the 27 beds currently available to children to just 16 beds – a 40 percent cut to their bed capacity for children with mental illness. The new combined unit will serve children from 9 – 18, which will mean younger children aged 3 – 8 will no longer have access to care at the facility. In fact, 45 percent of the children seen on the CAU are between the ages of 4 – 8. "We are appalled by this decision, and what it will mean for the children in our region who need the services these units provide," said Betty Kaloustian, RN, chair of the MNA/NNU local bargaining unit at CHA's Cambridge Hospital campus. "We intend to fight this closure and to see review of this decision by the Department of Public Health, as we believe this is an essential service that cannot be lost." The decision comes at a time when there is a critical shortage of all types of mental health services and beds in the Commonwealth, particularly beds for children and adolescents. In fact, the legislature has formed a special Mental Health Commission this year, which was created specifically to respond to this growing crisis. As a result of this crisis, more than 40,000 patients a year, many of them children and adolescents, are being boarded in our hospitals emergency departments waiting from several hours to several days for treatment beds, and the waits for children and adolescents are even longer.

One of the all-time great war films, THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI is yet another classic from the marvelous David Lean (LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, DR. ZHIVAGO). The film is an outstanding, psychologically complex adaptation of Pierre Boulle's 1952 novel, a classic story of English POWs in Burma forced to build a bridge to aid the war effort of their Japanese captors. British and American intelligence officers conspire to blow up the structure, but Col. Nicholson (a fabulous Alec Guinness), the commander who supervised the bridge's construction, has acquired a sense of pride in his creation and tries to foil their plans. Although credited to screenwriter Carl Foreman, the script was actually written by blacklisted writer Michael Wilson. The film garnered seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor (Guinness). The climax is one of the great finales in film history.

A Network Engineer is a highly competitive field with highly rewarding benefits and high paying salary that offers advancement opportunities. Three steps to making this a reality are education, experience, and writing a resume that the Employer wants to see. If you are looking to become a Network Engineer you are starting on a high paying and rewarding field. Network Engineers offer the ability to promote to other positions, if that is your goal. So let us look at how you become a network engineer.
Education Is Key
The first place to start is to find the right school that offers the Network Engineer degree. The Information Technology Degree (IT Degree) is the standard area of study that you should take for the information systems engineer. Another course of study that's needed is Computer Science.
Do some research on the employer you want to work for, this way it will give you the information on what course of study you need to pursue.
Experience is the Best Teacher.
When it comes to working on Network systems, there is no better education than the hands-on experience you get when working on a system yourself. This can be hard with no job, but working on your home based systems and learning new systems and working on them are the experience employers are looking for.
The First Impression on an Employer
When it comes to making a good first impression on an employer for a network engineer position, there is nothing that stands out better than a well written resume. Write your résumé with the intention you want. If you want an example of a professional Network Engineer resume that will aid you in making an impression see this example here: Itresume.org/network-engineer-resume/.
If you are seeking to become a Network Engineer, these are the steps to follow. Ensure that you research the employer that you are interested in working for to find out what are employers education requirements. Get experience with working on and understanding the different network systems in use. The last step is most crucial, write that résumé to get the attention of the employer by using phrases they are searching for. This field is in demand and has a good outlook for the future. If you follow these steps you will be on your way to a rewarding career that will give you the challenge and life you are seeking.

Nazdar 9500 Aquaprint II and French Paper/cougar
Versatex, Speedball, Ryonet Enviroline which is repackaged Matsui? housepaint, tw graphics, pretty much whatever I can get my hands on. I seem to have more speedball than anything else these days.
Super newb question here....
What does "pre-rack your paper" mean?
lay it on the rack to acclimatize to the humidity of the print room. If you just crack the package and start printing, the paper can change up to 1/16 or 1/8" as it absorbs or loses moisture, depending on the difference from the mill where it was packaged, and whatever is happening in your shop.
If you print it without doing this, you risk it changing after the first colour dries and the paper resizes - you will find the second and subsequent colours won't match up
services www.squeegeeville.com
equipment www.tmiscreenprinting.com
Todo es empezar.
We use Speedball for everything except black, which is sometimes TW, sometimes Speedball, oftentimes Jacquard, and most often a megamix of all of that stuff. But yeah, we haven't made the leap to TW yet. And we always pre-rack that isht now, which is especially crucial for the CMYK stuff.
I work at Landland, Mpls Our website On Facebook On this thing
Been using all Jacquard so far. Speedball once or twice when I had to run out and grab a color. Just ordered some Ryonet R20 Black and White to try those.
Will DEF try pre-racking paper. I am thinking this is what screwed up my prints on my first 4 color job a few weeks back. Good tip!
I've been wanting to use the Jacquard on a 4 color poster being printed on French Paper, but I only have a few days to print a minimum of 75 and i'm worried about it not drying quickly. Can anyone suggest a good quality (not Speedball) ink to use with French Paper that ins't as expensive as TW? I'd just buy TW but I don't have an extra $300 for ink left in my budget. Any quick, helpful responses would be greatly appreciated.
Checked out your site to see what your work looked like being printed with speedball, but no pics of the actual printed posters. Either way, very nice selection of bands (many i listened to in high school/college) and very nice style.

Yogi Berra once said, "If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else." There's a lot of truth in that statement, particularly as it relates to sustainability: unless you have a good idea of what a sustainable version of your organization might look like, you may have some trouble getting there. But the problem cuts both ways. What if you don't know how you stack up regarding your sustainability efforts? So a variant on that statement could be, "If you don't know where you're starting from, you might not find the right path on the road to sustainability."
In 20+ years of working with customers, I have noticed that my clients frequently want to jump straight to the "solution" or "execution" phase. It's not hard to understand why: these are the parts that get featured in media and case studies as the stroke of genius that solved an intractable problem. Why waste time in doing the strategy, planning and consensus-building exercises, when jumping to the end is so much more fun?

Greening Graduation
It's amazing how cheap. diposable products and waste have crept into even our oldest traditions. It's insidious. I'm talking about the commencement ceremonies that are happening at every high school, college and university at this time of year. Even my own graduation, a ceremony meant to celebrate the achievement of people dedicated to sustainability and building a world that works for future generations, was rife with single-use items that were never intended to be that way.
I don't blame the institutions, which, by necessity, are obligated to provide their students and their loved ones with a ceremony befitting of their hard work and investments in time and money. I don't blame the students, faculty, family and staff who have these expectations either. We certainly should not be in the business of sacrificing the things that mean the most to us in the process of achieving a sustainable world.
It all comes down to a matter of perceived cost. Most of the items currently used are very cheaply made because graduation is seen as a very rare occurrence: why spend a lot of money on something that will only happen once a year for the institution, and only a handful of times for the graduate?
Not to mention the fact that the regalia is not exactly everyday wear. Even a bridesmaid's dress might be remade into a cocktail dress that might get worn after the big day, but graduation gowns are never seen outside of a graduation ceremony.
So…how do we make graduation more sustainable?

SoCal Start-Up Gears Up to Launch Affordable All-Electric Sedan
Coming out publicly just this month, Santa Monica-based Coda Automotive joins the budding ranks of hybrid and all-electric vehicle makers looking to crack the US market. The company plans to introduce an affordable, full performance all-electric sedan in California in 2010.
With first delivery expected in the fall of 2010, the four-door, five-passenger, fully-equipped Coda sedan is to be powered by 33.8 kilowatt-hour, 333-volt lithium ion battery with a range of 90 to 120 miles on a single charge, sufficient to cover the daily transportation needs of 94% of US drivers. An on-board charger plugs into any standard 110 or 220-volt outlet and completes a full charge in less than six hours at 220V. Charging for a 40-mile commute will take two hours, according to the company.
Expected selling price: $45,000–mid-$30,000s after including a $7,500 Federal tax credit and state incentives.
"The Coda sedan is an all-electric vehicle for everyone," said Coda president and CEO Kevin Czinger. "It's a practical revolution for real drivers who need reliable transportation." Click to continue reading »
Doing the Right Thing in Business: Are You Doing it Right?
There is a mounting consensus that while business has created serious environmental problems, developing sustainable practices to address these issues can result in bottom line benefits. So why hasn't sustainable business taken off like those metal Klean Kanteen water bottles?
The reason may surprise you: although most businesses acknowledge the efficiency benefits that sustainability can create, few companies are treating sustainability as a strategic opportunity. The majority of existing sustainability efforts are still ad hoc (often a reaction to external compliance pressures), poorly funded, and tactical in scope – so they rarely impact the core strategy and positioning of the business. In order to really create a sustainable future – and to reap the benefits of sustainable competitive advantage – companies must move beyond efficiencies to a more transformative implementation of sustainability. This is a challenging task, so it's not surprising that few companies have gotten it right. The upside is that doing it well can lead to a real opportunity for competitive differentiation – one that may define winners and losers for decades to come. Click to continue reading »
Xerox's Sustainable Growth Plan
The Xerox Corporation is a $16 billion enterprise that is beginning to integrate sustainability into their product offerings and operations. It strives to operate as a sustainability leader who delivers "waste-free" products that offer quantifiable benefits to the environment.
Worldwide, consumers and investors ask how a company that is invested in toxic ink toners can deliver environmental benefits to company stakeholders. In response, Xerox outlines four goals within their corporate sustainability framework: Climate protection, biodiversity and forest preservation, preserving clean air and water, and waste management. The Xerox Sustainability Growth Plan provides details on how exactly the company works towards affecting environmental change.
A World First – Tankers on Shore Power
A major source of air pollution in port areas comes from the giant vessels that tie up at their docks to load and unload cargo. That's because the powerful diesel engines have to run continuously to keep the ships' equipment and support systems operating. That also means continuous spewing of GHG and diesel particulate emissions into the local air.
A solution to this massive emissions problem has long existed but is not widely implemented because it involves expensive modifications both on-ship and to offshore facilities. It's called shore power, which allows ships to shut down their diesel engines at berth and literally plug into the landside electricity grid, thus improving air quality.
But slow change is better than no change: BP America and the Port of Long Beach Wednesday opened the world's first oil tanker terminal equipped with shore power plugs. Click to continue reading »

For years, Patagonia has established itself as one of the strongest leaders of sustainability within the business community. Although it's a well-deserved reputation, there are a number of innovative strategies behind why Patagonia's industry leading reputation is so widespread. From their product catalogs, which serve as environmental education materials to their product labeling strategy that touts organic and reused materials, Patagonia clearly knows the value in communicating their message through innovative and effective channels.
The Tin Shed, Patagonia's latest sustainability communication tool is no exception. The Tin Shed is an interactive web application that combines the stories and dispatches of Patagonia's sustainability ambassadors from around the world. The "tin shed" is a reference to Patagonia's origins which was an old shed that Yvon Chouinard began forging his pitons in. Today, Patagonia's virtual tin shed serves as the platform from which the company integrates the breadth and depth of their environmental and human sustainability initiatives.
PeaceWorks: An Entrepreneur's Approach to Peace in the Middle East
If you've ever been to Israel, you might notice that it looks eerily like Central California. Back roads wind through dry golden hills, dotted with olive trees and oleander bushes. The countryside, however, has a major blight: a huge wall topped with barbed wire that delineates the Israel/Palestine border. Armed guards patrol the wall, ensuring that neither Arabs nor Israelis have the ability to antagonize each other. Conflict, hatred and violence have plagued this part of the world for a very long time. European and American interventions have not solved the conflict. Even so, President Obama is hoping to promote "democracy, rule of law, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion " in the region with his current trip to the Middle East.
So what to do when politics, military strength and carefully-planned summits have all failed? Try creating peace and cooperation through business and profit-sharing. Or so says PeaceWorks, a "not-only-for-profit" company. You could say that PeaceWorks has a double-bottom-line business model; they pursue profit and peace in equal measure. They profit by selling healthy, natural food products that are produced by groups on traditionally opposing sides of a conflict. They pursue peace by "empowering the moderates" in the Middle East that hope for resolution to the ongoing conflict. The fundamental idea is simple: by working together to grow, harvest, produce and export a value-added food product, Arab and Israeli communities and business people can find common ground while earning a living wage.
Big Ass Fans: Big Fans of Sustainability
When it comes to buildings, it can be hard to be big and green. This is especially true of large warehouses or other industrial spaces that have massive ceilings and a lack of natural circulation. But that's where Big Ass Fans come in handy.
No, I'm not being funny. Big Ass Fans is an actual business name. And it's a good one, considering that the firm manufactures ceiling fans that reach up to 24 feet in diameter.
Fans may be old-school, but their use in managing an indoor climate can be cutting edge. Big Ass Fans has been designing fans for the past ten years with a strong focus on efficiency. By moving air, they lower temperatures in large spaces during the summer and boost them during the winter.
Volvo Plug-In Available in 2012
Earlier this week, Volvo introduced a new model that integrates a plug-in lithium battery and a diesel engine, which Volvo plans to make available by 2012. When compared to Volvo's earlier plan to have a hybrid vehicle available in 2012, the new plug-in model represents a more aggressive move on Volvo's behalf.
Notably, this move could position Volvo as the world's first provider of a plug-in diesel model. Although the technical specifications are a work in progress, the company says that the new plug-in will emit less than 50 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer. When compared to the average emissions rate of roughly 90 g/km found among most European subcompacts, Volvo's 2012 plug-in is a big leap in automotive efficiency.
Schott's Shot at Solar in Senegal
At Schott Corporation, it's all about the glass: the idea is glass and the powerful ideas that can shine through glass.
The $3 billion company, with corporate offices in Germany and North America, employs about 17,000 people. It has virtually cornered the market on a multitude of glass uses from pharmaceutical packaging to fiber optics to microlithography to glass tubing. But the 125-year-old company's big push for decades and especially lately is in concentrated solar energy for power plants and photovoltaic technology applications.
The group's Schott Solar unit has more than 50 years of experience in solar technology. And it sees a major opportunity for solar in Africa. Lars Waldmann, the company's public relations manager, notes that given Africa's abundant solar resources and it underdeveloped electric power sector, solar technologies are a big part of the continent's energy answer.
Geothermal Energy's Future Is Bright
It may not be as shiny as solar or as obvious as wind, but no matter how you slice it – geothermal energy is a powerhouse when it comes to renewable energy generation.
As I highlighted in my book, Investing in Renewable Energy: Making Money on Green Chip Stocks…geothermal actually holds significant advantages over other forms of renewable and fossil fuel-based energy.
Why Companies Should Divest from Sudan
During the week of April 13, the Vanguard Group's mutual funds shareholders received their first proxies since 2002. The proxies contain a proposal which asks shareholders to "institute procedures to prevent holding investments in companies that, in the judgment of the Board, substantially contribute to genocide or crimes against humanity, the most egregious violations of human rights."
The proposal was coordinated by the non-profit group, Investors Against Genocide. Voting was open until the shareholder meeting on July 2. Eric Cohen, chairperson of Investors Against Genocide, characterizes the proposal as "particularly unusual, because Vanguard customers have not had an opportunity to vote in nearly seven years, and also because the genocide-free investing proposal is the first shareholder proposal to make it onto the proxy ballot at Vanguard."Click to continue reading »
Prison-Business Parterships: Harbingers of Positive Change?
Prisons have long held a reputation for being resource "black holes." Incarcerated people fade away into obscurity, most without any true chance at rehabilitation. Yet inmates consume huge amounts of food, and even larger amounts of energy. In 2007, California taxpayers spent over $8 billion on their prison system, more than any other state in the nation. Recidivism rates are not improving, and the state is teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. Prisons have become an icon for waste and consumption.
One California prison, however, is determined to change the notion that a penal system can only consume resources without reusing them. Avenal State Prison is home to 6,500 inmates. It is located in the dry and somewhat desolate San Joaquin County. Beginning in June of 2000, Avenal State Prison initiated a revolutionary program: food scrap and green material collection. The facility entered into a partnership with San Joaquin Composting, a local and for-profit business that sells compost to the many agricultural wholesalers that exist in the San Joaquin valley. This collaboration between a state-run prison and a private enterprise has generated unbelievable financial, environmental and social benefits. Click to continue reading »

KEYW Announces The Formation Of Hexis Cyber Solutions, Inc.
HANOVER, Md., July 31, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KEYW Corporation (Nasdaq:KEYW) announced today the formation of Hexis Cyber Solutions, Inc. and introduced the HawkEye family of products and services. Hexis Cyber Solutions comprises KEYW's "Project G" organization and Sensage, Inc., acquired by KEYW in October 2012. Chris Fedde has been named President of Hexis Cyber Solutions, Inc. and will lead the new organization.
"Hexis Cyber Solutions brings to market the most advanced platform of cyber awareness products and services available, leveraging KEYW's legacy of serving the most demanding customers in the U.S. Intelligence Community and Sensage's 'big data' approach to security analytics," commented Leonard Moodispaw, CEO and President of KEYW Corporation. "The HawkEye family of products combines big data analytics, community threat sharing, and automated remediation capabilities that form a true 'active defense' system designed to counter the most advanced and serious cyber threats to an enterprise. We believe these new products and services will offer a new level of cyber awareness to government and commercial markets alike."
The HawkEye family of products will initially have two offerings: HawkEye G: The Active Defense Grid (formerly known as Project G) for countering advanced persistent threats and HawkEye AP: The Analytics Platform (formerly the Sensage Event Data Warehouse) for applications including log management, call detail record/internet protocol data record management, and risk and compliance applications. Other unique cyber technologies acquired by KEYW Corporation last year from Rsignia, Inc. and Dilijent Solutions, LLC are being integrated into the Hexis Cyber Solutions product lines."KEYW have spent many years understanding and supporting leading edge security at a national level and have acquired some excellent technologies to support this work," commented Justin Speake, CEO of Bloor Research. "Integrating these within HawkEye provides a cohesive platform for detecting and responding to the Indicators of Compromise giving organisations the opportunity to govern the threats to their business far more effectively."

How Was Twitter Used During The Olympics? [INFOGRAPHIC]
The 2012 London Olympic Games has come and gone and, by all accounts, it was a great success. The Games saw record viewing figures across TV and the internet, and social media played a huge part in how we received information and updates, interacted with athletes and kept our sporting fingers very much on the pulse.
Ahead of the Olympics Twitter had expressed its desire to be the "official narrator" of the Games, and it certainly delivered on that count, with 150 million tweets sent during the competition.
But what was everybody tweeting about?

Wright Museum hosts Robofest competition
DETROIT – Seventeen teams from the Metro Detroit area will compete in a regional competition round of Robofest on Saturday, April 19, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, 315 East Warren, Detroit.
Robofest is a competition of autonomous robots – computer-programmed to act independently and not remote-controlled – that encourages students to have fun while learning principles of science, technology, engineering, and math, known as the STEM subjects. Teams compete in the junior division (grades 5-9) or senior division (grades 9-12), using a variety of computer programming languages to program robots.
Teams from Detroit, Birmingham, Ferndale, Sterling Heights, Southfield and Canton will compete in the regional competition at the Wright Museum.
Trophy winners at this competition will advance to the Robofest Michigan Championship on Saturday, May 3, at Lawrence Technological University (LTU) in Southfield. The Robofest 2014 World Championship will be held at LTU on Saturday, May 17. (Go to www.robofest.net for more details.)
Lawrence Technological University computer science professor, CJ Chung, started Robofest in 2000 to promote STEM and computer science through robotics. This year it has attracted more than 1,600 students from ten states (Michigan, Ohio, Texas, Minnesota, Florida, Hawaii, California, Missouri, Indiana and Washington) and seven other countries (Canada, Mexico, Korea, China, India, South Africa and France).
This year's game mission, AMD (Avoid Melt-Down), is to develop an autonomous robot to cool down a nuclear power plant by dropping off three tennis balls and an egg representing water containers into a simulated nuclear reactor box facing a meltdown. In addition, the robot needs to measure and report the volume of the box in cubic centimeters. The challenge directly connects math concepts to robotics.
In addition to the game, there will be science fair-style exhibition competition, which will demonstrate the imagination and creativity of the students through robotics.
Robofest team members and attendees can visit the "Inspiring Minds" exhibit free of charge and may tour the rest of the Wright Museum for an $8 entry fee.

The problem we are having is that we bought this to go over a leather chair and it slides all over the place. We tuck it in, tie it up and it looks ok, but if you sit on the chair and move at all the chair is a big mess and you have to redo all the tucking and tying again. So it is kind of a big pain. You may not have this same problem if you are covering a cloth chair.
Thought these would look great based on photo. It does give directions on how to put it on and adjust it so it fits properly. Perhaps it was because my chair I was trying to cover was a bit deeper in the seat that average, but it did not fit it at all. It looked sloppy and no amount of tucking in made it look any better. Ended up sending it back. Material was sturdy enough, but you have to have the correct size & version of the chair cover to match your chair in order to get the SURE FIT look!
good quality, and sryling at first i was'nt happy at first because all my tucking came undone to easily, but then i read the review about tucking a magazines into the sides and back of cushion and promblem fixed! this chair is in my bedroom and mostly for looks rhars why its working for me
This chair cover made a awesome fit for some chairs I wanted to throw away and I purchase these covers and they look like new.
I love the color & fabric this slipcover! Fit is of course a bit of an experience, tucking & rearranging. Overall a great buy! I would buy this one again.
Overstock does take returns and this was my first purchase I did not realize this...This company does work with you..My mistake for not sending it back when I realized I did not like it or did not fit properly. I ordered another slipcover which fits better.

Monster Worldwide Reports Third Quarter 2013 Results
Monster Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE:MWW) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.
"Our third quarter results were encouraging as we experienced stability in North America, protected profitability and continued executing on several important initiatives to enhance future growth," said Sal Iannuzzi, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Monster Worldwide. "The stabilization we experienced in North America in the second quarter continued and we are cautiously optimistic that this positive momentum will result in sequential revenue growth in North America in the fourth quarter of 2013."
"We are pleased to announce the sale of a minority stake in our South Korean business for $90 million which demonstrates the underlying value of the Monster enterprise. We look forward to working with our partner, H&Q Korea, to grow this profitable business as well as to explore the potential expansion of this partnership throughout the Asia Pacific region. We are also excited to announce the expansion of our alliance with Alma Media in Eastern Europe and the Baltic region, which will enhance the profitability of these businesses and grow our market share position. Finally, consistent with our objective to enhance shareholder returns, we successfully repurchased $37 million worth of our shares in the quarter."
Third Quarter 2013 ResultsRevenue was $197 million, compared to third quarter 2012 revenue of $221 million. Careers – North America revenue of $110 million was flat on a sequential basis. Historical data on revenue for prior quarters is available in the Company's supplemental financial information. Consolidated operating expenses of $183 million decreased 9% compared to $201 million of Non-GAAP operating expenses in the third quarter 2012. Income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2013 was $8.2 million, or $0.08 per share, compared to $41.1 million, or $0.37 per share in the third quarter 2012, which included a $31 million non-cash tax benefit. Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2012 was $11.7 million, or $0.10 per share. EBITDA margin of 17% was led by Careers-North America with a 23% margin. Pro-forma items are described in the "Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and are reconciled to the GAAP measure in the accompanying tables.

Top tips for using neurology to improve elearning
As teachers and other learning professionals will often tell you, imparting information to students is one thing, but to get them to remember and then apply it is a whole different ball game. So how do we achieve this holy grail of learning? It all comes down to the way information is retrieved and processed.
Clippy's Second Chance and three ways to gamify systems training
On seeing a link with the title 'Ribbon Hero 2', I thought it was an app which would spam all my friends. But the moment I saw Clippy's Second Chance, I knew it was something related to Microsoft Office.
Top 10 tips for creating a learning website
More and more often, a website is part of the blend for a successful change campaign. The most obvious example is a learning programme which engages with a wide, public, audience. This will require a place to host elearning which also performs a few other functions: links to resources, news updates and contact details. A website is the logical solution.
L&D Extinction Events 2014 : Your vox-pops!
To coincide with Ragnarok, the predicted Viking apocalypse, on 22 February 2014 (along with Viking events up and down the country) Saffron Interactive asked leading members of the learning and development community to tell us what they thought (or hoped) would be wiped out in 2014.
What is quality when it comes to e-Learning?
Does a good-looking course qualify as good quality? What about an ordinary course that brings about great behavioural change? I'm sure the argument can be extended to both sides. But my argument is to take the middle-path (very Buddha-like indeed, except I see no chance of Nirvana!).
To tweet or not to tweet? P1
Next time that you go to a business presentation, stop for a moment and take a look at how many people are typing away on smartphones or tablets whilst the speaker is talking. Is this evidence of a more active listener contribution and a higher level of efficiency, or of a short attention span? I'd suggest that this phenomenon isn't because people are distracted by new technology, but instead that the audience participation in the group business presentation is changing. In my opinion, three of the main technologies responsible are:
- Smart Phones
- Tablets
Top five tips for achieving great typography in e-learning
Clarity and legibility are essential in e-learning. Here are Saffron's top tips on how to use some of the basic principles of typography not only to achieve legibility but also to bring interest and energy to your e-learning projects.

Amman - Jordanian prosecutors on Wednesday charged a teenaged girl's 40-year-old father and 16-year-old brother with rape after she gave birth to a baby girl, a judicial official said.
The 17-year-old girl gave birth last month at a hospital in Amman.
"She said that her father and her brother repeatedly raped her," the official told AFP.
"The two suspects confessed to the crime. DNA tests proved that the baby girl was the daughter of the victim's brother."
The suspects face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
Official statistics last year showed that one-third of Jordan's three million schoolchildren had suffered sexual abuse and around 80 percent had experienced some form of physical violence. - AFP

Alaskan cruise questions
I have read nearly all the Alaskan info. threads and yet I still have a few questions. We are on the late July sailing, it'll be just DH and I (celebrating our 10th anniversary).
1.) While on board, do we need to keep anything with us at all times? I'm having a hard time deciphering the actual size of the ship and how long it will take us to walk around, etc. If it'll only be a 2-3 minute walk to get back to our room for stuff, I won't carry around a bag. Otherwise, I'll want to stash stuff and keep it handy.
2.) I know the ship is cash free and we'll pay for everything at the end of the cruise. Can we do this with Disney gift cards, credit card or cash?
3.) What is the pier like where we'll have to wait in line to board? It'll be late July so the weather shouldn't be too bad, but I'm wondering if we'll have to stand out in the wind while we wait.
4.) For excursions, I assume we can bring a backpack with stuff for the day and for space to remove layers if needed? For higher activity excursions, like zip-lining, is there a place to store items or will we have to carry everything with us at all times?
5.) What are the indoor temperatures like at the restaurants, etc.? I guess it can be chilly on deck but the temperature must be controlled inside.
6.) We have AT&T cell phones - will they work on the ship or at the ports?
7.) Do we pay for excursions when we book them online, or is our place held and we pay on the ship?
8.) Can we only make a reservation at Palo during our normally scheduled dining time?
Thanks so much for any and all help!

text: Just had dinner at Slopeside. We have a condo at Mountain Green and have seen the dining options come and go. I was pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent. I had the salmon and my husband had the chicken parm. Nicely prepared and presented. Excellent service - would love to see someone finally make this establishment a success!


text: A Fairmont man accused of raping a teenage girl last December was released from jail Thursday, the day his trial had been scheduled to begin. 45-year-old Troy Leroy Dykes is a level 3 predatory offender who had been scheduled to face trial for 3rd and 4th-degree criminal sexual conduct charges for allegedly sexually assaulting the girl in Fairmont while helping her and her mother move. He was released from jail on Thursday and his trial was postponed because DNA testing from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is reportedly incomplete. Recent interviews had apparently raised credibility issues in regard to the case as well, and are being investigated. Dykes current address now lists him as homeless in the area of Highway 15, south of Interstate 90. His trial has yet to be rescheduled, but a pre-trial hearing will be held November 14th.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Carbon Emissions: Environmental Or Political Issue?

1. EPA Takes Action on CO2 Emissions

The climate change issue is one that I have had a great deal of interest
in for a long time, but at the same time one that I have not written much
about due to the complexity of the issues and the polarizing nature of the
discussion. Many people seem to be firmly convinced that man-made climate
change exists and we are ruining the environment; yet others adamantly
believe climate change is not man-made, and there's nothing to be done
about it. There seems to be very little middle ground.
On April 17, the EPA tried to clear up all of this ambiguity by naming
carbon dioxide and five other gasses as official threats to the "...health
and welfare of current and future generations..." You may recall that the
road to the EPA's latest action was paved by a 2007 Supreme Court decision
that found carbon dioxide to be a "pollutant" under the Clean Air Act, and
ruled that the EPA had the power to regulate it.
There is no question or debate that CO2 is a naturally occurring gas in
our atmosphere. For example, it's a by-product of normal animal and human
respiration. In light of the EPA's latest decision, are we to assume that
every air-breathing creature is now a potential source of pollution
subject to regulation? Well, it probably won't come to that, but a recent
Wall Street Journal article noted that the EPA's latest decision could
"touch every corner of Americans' lives, from the types of cars they drive
to the homes they build."
Thus, this decision, coupled with my recent discussion of Obama's
"cap-and-trade" proposal, clearly indicate that climate change is on the
front burner in Washington. We'll now see what a liberal administration
and a compliant Congress can concoct to correct a problem that may or may
not exist, depending upon which "experts" you want to listen to. Whatever
ends up happening, I can promise you that it will cost us all a lot more
Aside from that, the one thing that has always confused me the most is
whether or not the global CO2 problem (assuming it is a problem) will be
solved or improved if Western nations and the US in particular
significantly reduce their carbon emissions. We know without a doubt that
CO2 emissions are exploding in the emerging nations. In many ways, it
seems to me that spending a huge amount of money to reduce US carbon
emissions will simply cost American consumers and business a ton of money,
while having little impact, if any, on the global environment.
To address this concern, I have reprinted below an excellent article from
Peter Huber of the Manhattan Institute that weighs in on the many factors
at play in any attempt to regulate greenhouse gasses. I find it
interesting that he doesn't even try to argue whether or not global
warming exists. Instead, he takes on the feasibility of trying to solve
this problem without the help of countries that produce 80% of the
greenhouse gasses. While Huber's article was written prior to the EPA's
action, it now has even more significance for all of us who will end up
paying the price. I suggest you read the following carefully and think
about it seriously.
Halbert Wealth Management
Bound to Burn
by Peter Huber
Like medieval priests, today's carbon brokers will sell you an indulgence
that forgives your carbon sins. It will run you about $500 for 5 tons of
forgiveness -- about how much the typical American needs every year. Or
about $2,000 a year for a typical four-person household. Your broker will
spend the money on such things as reducing methane emissions from hog
farms in Brazil.
But if you really want to make a difference, you must send a check large
enough to forgive the carbon emitted by four poor Brazilian households,
too -- because they're not going to do it themselves. To cover all five
households, then, send $4,000. And you probably forgot to send in a check
last year, and you might forget again in the future, so you'd best make it
an even $40,000, to take care of a decade right now. If you decline to
write your own check while insisting that to save the world we must ditch
the carbon, you are just burdening your already sooty soul with another
ton of self-righteous hypocrisy. And you can't possibly afford what it
will cost to forgive that.
If making carbon this personal seems rude, then think globally instead.
During the presidential race, Barack Obama was heard to remark that he
would bankrupt the coal industry. No one can doubt Washington's power to
bankrupt almost anything -- in the United States. But China is adding 100
gigawatts of coal-fired electrical capacity a year. That's another whole
United States' worth of coal consumption added every three years, with no
stopping point in sight. Much of the rest of the developing world is on a
similar path.
Cut to the chase. We rich people can't stop the world's 5 billion poor
people from burning the couple of trillion tons of cheap carbon that they
have within easy reach. We can't even make any durable dent in global
emissions -- because emissions from the developing world are growing too
fast, because the other 80 percent of humanity desperately needs cheap
energy, and because we and they are now part of the same global economy.
What we can do, if we're foolish enough, is let carbon worries send our
jobs and industries to their shores, making them grow even faster, and
their carbon emissions faster still.

I had bought a $25 case from a store that was exactly like this one and shortly returned it after I bought this. The color is bright and looks amazing in person. I ordered on a Friday and it arrived the following Friday. It feels rubbery, but not too much, enough to where it won't slip when you're holding the phone.
The case looked really good on the site and the color was beautiful in person but the case was so hard, I couldn't even get my phone in it. I was afraid that I would break the case or the phone!

90 Year Old Celebrates Birthday On A Roller Coaster
Good morning. I'm Renée Montagne. Former President George H. W. Bush says when he turns 90 he'll celebrate by skydiving. Thrill seeking at 90 is becoming a trend. Thelma Gratch spent her 90th, presumably with arms raised, hurtling down a 230-foot high roller coaster at 80 miles an hour. She's had a season pass to an amusement park outside Cincinnati since 1979 so chances are she's spent other birthdays screaming her head off. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

This is one of the prettiest desserts you can make, and it's easy! The recipe actually has roots in Colonial times. The custard is made with vinegar, which was used in the days when fresh lemons weren't readily available year-round. It has a sweet-tart flavor that marries nicely with the strawberries.
Try our recipe for Sweet Pastry Dough, or use your favorite recipe (or even a store-bought crust, if you like).
The tart needs to chill at least 4 hours before serving, and it's best served the day it's made, so plan accordingly.
Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into an 11-inch round. Fit the dough into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing the excess overhanging dough against the rim of the pan (to prevent the crust from slumping to the center when it bakes). Pierce the dough all over with a fork, and then chill for one hour.
Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
Line the pastry dough with a piece of parchment or aluminum foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Place the tart pan on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 18 minutes. Remove the pie weights and paper, and continue baking until the crust is golden, another 4 or 6 minutes. If the crust bubbles, press it down with the back of a spoon. Let the crust cool completely at room temperature.
Place the cornstarch in a medium-sized bowl and slowly whisk in the cream. Add the eggs, egg yolks and vanilla, and whisk to combine.
Meanwhile, place the vinegar in a saucepan and reduce over high heat to 1/4 cup. Add 3/4 cup of water, the sugar and the butter. Stir until the sugar and butter melt, then let the mixture reach a boil. Remove the vinegar mixture from the heat and very slowly whisk it into the egg mixture.
Transfer the egg and vinegar mixture to the saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Whisk constantly until the custard thickens and boils, about 2 minutes. Let the custard cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the prepared pastry shell. Refrigerate the tart for at least 4 hours (or overnight, covered) before proceeding.
Arrange the strawberry slices to overlap each other, starting at the center of the tart and spiraling outward in concentric circles. Serve immediately, or cover loosely with a piece of plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
