Proposed Demolition of Josep Lluis Sert's King School Cambridge
At a time when sustainability is high on the agenda and construction costs continue to soar, many Cambridge residents are questioning a proposal to demolish a sound and respected school building to replace it with a new school one that will strive to be a "green facility". The Martin Luther King Elementary School (1968-1971) was designed by Catalan architect Josep Lluis Sert (Sert, Jackson and Associate). As it stands today, the school compliments the many other buildings in Cambridge that Sert worked on while also teaching at Harvard University, including the Peabody Terrace Graduate Housing complex just across the street.
Read on to find out what the community is doing to save the building from demolition and why it can prove to be a more sustainable option for the city.
Architecture City Guide: Barcelona
This week, with the help of our readers, our Architecture City Guide is headed to Barcelona. We recently featured an engaging video where Wiel Arets half jokingly said Barcelona is fantastic but boring. He continued to say as soon as Sagrada Família is finished Barcelona is done; there is nothing left to do there (10:50). Arets can say what he wants about Barcelona supposedly being boring, but our city guide doesn't reflect this. Barcelona is filled with fantastically expressive architecture that springs from its proud Catalan culture. It was impossible to feature all our readers suggestions in the first go around, and we did not even come close to including some of the most iconic building such as Casa Milà. Thus we are looking to add to our list of 24 in the near future. Further more there are so many fabulous buildings on the drawing board or under construction, i.e. the projects in the @22 district, we'll most likely be updating this city guide for quite awhile, regardless of Sagrada Família's completion.
Take a look at our list with the knowledge it is far complete and add to it in the comment section below.

Architecture City Guide: Boston
For this week the Architecture City Guide series headed to the city of Boston including neighboring Cambridge just across the Charles River Basin. This area has an overwhelmingly large amount of modern architecture in a small radius, and our list reflects just that. What buildings do you want to see added to our Boston list, share them with us in the comment section below.

Zakharov leads pratfall-filled 3-meter prelims
LONDON While so many divers were flopping around him, Ilya Zakharov of Russia stayed steady on the 3-meter springboard.
The Russian topped the men's preliminaries at the Olympics on Monday with 507.65 points during the six rounds of a competition marred by pratfalls.
Zakharov earlier won a silver medal in synchronized 3-meter with partner Evgeny Kuznetsov, and was the silver medalist in the individual event at last year's world championships.
"I'm really satisfied with my diving, but the first thing is to do a good job in the semifinal," said Zakharov, who wants to be able to dive last in the final so he would need to lead after the semifinals.
Kuznetsov failed on his third dive and dropped from eighth to 20th, although he advanced in 16th.
"I didn't step correctly onto the board or open up my body fully," he said. "I've always performed this dive well, so I don't really know what went wrong."
He Chong of China, who was ninth after his first dive, totaled 500.90 while opening the defense of his Olympic title. The top 18 divers moved on to the semifinals on Tuesday, with the top 12 making the final that evening.
Troy Dumais of the U.S. was third at 486.60 after rallying from sixth in the fourth round.
Two divers scored all zeros, while two others got low scores for badly botching their dives. Even China made a rare mistake.
Qin Kai, who was leading after four rounds, dropped to 11th when he missed on his toughest dive - a forward 4 1/2 somersaults tuck worth a 3.8 degree of difficulty. He narrowly avoided doing a belly flop and ended up 11th with 451.60.
"At least I got to the semifinals," he said. "Hopefully I will perform better."
Qin already has a gold medal in London, winning the 3-meter synchro with partner Luo Yutong. That was one of the five golds won so far by the Chinese, who are attempting to sweep the eight diving events, just as they nearly did four years ago in Beijing. They won seven of eight, losing the men's 10-meter platform.
Dumais has never finished higher than sixth in 3-meter at three previous Olympics. He finally earned his first Olympic medal in springboard synchro with partner Kristian Ipsen.
Dumais tuned out the miscues going on around him.
"I stay in my own world. I don't let the competition affect how I know I can dive," he said. "If I do the dives that I'm capable of doing, the ones I do every day back home, yes, I can be in the hunt. I've beaten these guys before. I can beat them again."
Chris Colwill, the other American, was seventh. He finished last in the springboard final in Beijing. Colwill has a 60 percent hearing loss, although he said it can be an advantage while competing.
"There's a lot of young divers here trying to do more than they're supposed to do," he said. "Accidents happen."
Stephan Feck of Germany dropped out of the competition after the third round. He lost his grip on his right leg doing a forward 3 1/2 somersault pike and landed on his back, smacking the water as the crowd gasped. He received all zeros from the judges. Feck went ahead and did his third dive and then withdrew, with officials saying he felt faint.

Letter from a Former Student
- 15 as educators, no words of encouragement lift our spirits higher than a note from a former student about his or her successes in the wonderful career of nursing.
i thought i would share a recent letter (with permission from my former student, of course):
hello ***,
i would like to inform you that i passed nclex! starting the exam with the expectation of 265 questions i was shocked, confident, doubtful, and relieved when the computer shut off after 75 questions. while answering questions i tried to not determine the difficulty of the questions, i just tried to utilize all my critical thinking skills learned. i can truly say, though the journey was difficult, that *** college of nursing prepared me well to show the world i know just enough and to begin as a practicing nurse. i am proud when i inform others that i am a *** graduate because that degree was earned with lots of studying, tears and prayers. coupled with studying, doing practice questions, and praying i would like to share with you a poem i read daily...
***, i believe that you love your career and life and when love and skill work together one should expect a masterpiece. "an educator affects eternity; she can never tell where her influences stop." -henry adamsdid is a wordof achievement,won't is a wordof retreat,might is a wordof bereavement,can't is a wordof defeat,ought is a wordof duty,try is a wordeach hour,will is a wordof beauty,can is a wordof power.-author unknown
thank you,

It does the heart good to be shown proof that what we do matters and that others recognize it. Congratulations on a job well done!
A couple of years ago I attended a nursing conference and happened to run into one of the nurses whose meticulous care of my son in PICU many years ago allowed us to have him with us today. We hadn't seen each other in 18 years, but she remembered us clearly. When she asked me what I was doing at a nursing conference (I wasn't a nurse when she knew me) I had to tell her that I was there because of her... she had taken such good care of both my boy and me that I wanted to be just like her. When she was done crying, we went for lunch, and have stayed in touch ever since.
allnurses... never doubt that what you do matters and that people will remember you.0May 4, '11 by No Stars In My EyesWe had an instructor who kind of scared alot of us because she would show up at our clinical and crook her finger at one of us.....which meant she'd found someone/something that pertained to that clinical experience and ....gulp.....we were going to have to do it while she watched. Though it was kind of a dreaded event, many times in the past 40 years I have silently thanked her for teaching me not to fear a 'new' experiences. In fact, during the first 25 years of my career I would seek out
situations and settings that would challenge me or provide new knowledge. And all because she 'scared' me and I didn't like being scared! I did send a letter to her care of my nursing school, but I don't know if she ever got it. I hope she did, but so much time has passed that she may have moved on several times over. Nevertheless, I continue to thank her in my mind.

Standard Written Checklists Can Improve Patient Safety During Surgical Crises
ROCKVILLE, Md., Jan. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- When doctors, nurses and other hospital operating room staff follow a written safety checklist to respond when a patient experiences cardiac arrest, severe allergic reaction, bleeding followed by an irregular heart beat or other crisis during surgery, they are nearly 75 percent less likely to miss a critical clinical step, according to a new study funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
While the use of checklists is rapidly becoming a standard of surgical care, the impact of using them during a surgical crisis has been largely untested, according to the study published in the January 17 online and print issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
"We know that checklists work to improve safety during routine surgery," said AHRQ Director Carolyn M. Clancy, M.D. "Now, we have compelling evidence that checklists also can help surgical teams perform better during surgical emergencies."
Surgical crises are high-risk events that can be life threatening if clinical teams do not respond appropriately. Failure to rescue surgical patients who experience life-threatening complications has been recognized as the biggest source of variability in surgical death rates among hospitals, the study authors noted.For this randomized controlled trial, investigators simulated multiple operating room crises and assessed the ability of 17 operating room teams from three Boston area hospitals – one teaching hospital and two community hospitals – to adhere to life-saving steps for each simulated crisis. In half of the crisis scenarios, operating room teams were provided with evidence-based, written checklists. In the other half of crisis scenarios, the teams worked from memory alone. When a checklist was used during a surgical crisis, teams were able to reduce the chances of missing a life-saving step, such as calling for help within 1 minute of a patient experiencing abnormal heart rhythm, by nearly 75 percent, the researchers said.

Recommendations 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3—Incorporate Quality-of-Evidence Measures, Represent Risk Severity Separately from the State of the Mitigation Strategy or Countermeasure, and Use Standard Uncertainty Analysis Techniques to Quantify Risk Uncertainty
The committee recommends that NASA (1) determine, and incorporate into the BR, measures of the quality of the evidence that form the basis for defining risks and the assessments associated with each risk; (2) structure the BR to represent separately the severity and likelihood of each risk and the state of the mitigation strategy or countermeasures associated with each risk; and (3) whenever possible, restructure the BR to include a quantification of the uncertainty of risks using standard uncertainty analysis techniques (e.g., frequentist, Bayesian, or possibility theory and approximate reasoning) that will provide uncertainty distributions or ranges in addition to point estimates. This will help contribute to the subsequent definition of operating bands.
The way in which risk-related information is represented in the BR and communicated to users is important to its overall effectiveness as a program management tool. One widely used format for representing risks not currently incorporated into the BR is the NASA-wide Continuous Risk Management Program, and the committee encourages its continued use because it is widely recognized and understood throughout NASA. The committee believes that the BR is better thought of and designed as a dynamic database of information relative to risk definition and assessment, from which a document or set of alternative documents can be derived at any time and incorporated into a risk management program. The web-based on-line version of the BR is an important step in this direction.
It is fundamentally important that configuration control methods be established and implemented to keep the BR up-to-date as new knowledge and technologies develop. This process can be facilitated by identifying an "owner and manager" within NASA for each set of related BR risks and establishing a regular review cycle that should occur not less than once a year. Where there is a desire to combine published research data with "expert opinion" from stakeholders, methods such as Bayesian updating and elicitation of expert opinion are available.

Hilton Head Marriott Resort & Spa

Wedding: 6/9/2012
There is no other word other than "perfect" to describe my recent wedding experience at the Marriott Resort & Spa. Melainie, the on-site wedding coordinator, was essential in how smoothly the day-of went. For months, she made sure to keep track of every detail and discuss all of my many questions to ensure that I felt comfortable with every decision. She was helpful and always more than happy to talk about the details with me. I felt like I was being taken care of 100% by her from the first day to the last.
Guests were allowed to park without any hassle and find both the ceremony and reception locations very easily. We were blessed with great weather, but the resort was ready for any backups necessary if it were not so. Each staff member went above and beyond to make our experience so wonderful and for that we are very grateful and cannot wait to return in future years to relive the memories!
The hotel itself was beautiful and offered a wonderful view of the ocean upon arriving in the main lobby. I couldn't have nicer things to say about every single staff member either. From the front desk, to the Conroy's bar, to the gift shop, to staff members I passed in the hallway, the friendly and welcoming attitudes of each person showed that the Marriott truly cares about who they have working at their resort. The day of my wedding, I had a question for the front desk and the person (I wish I would have written his name down!) I spoke with congratulated me on my wedding as he was answering my questions. As I was walking down the hall, he came after me and wanted to apologize for not taking more time to extend his congratulations and told me to call the front desk for anything and everything we might need that day. This was just one example of the kind of customer service the hotel offers and they really do stand behind their motto.
All in all, my husband and I will be back and are looking forward to all of our future trips there.
Wedding: 5/24/2013
They defined the reason as to why Marriott is one of the BEST hotel chains. The customer service was amazing! I can't wait to go back on our anniversary-my husband only wants to stay here!
Wedding: 7/27/2012
The Marriott, Melanie, the spa, and all of their staff provided us with the most wonderful setting for our wedding. Everything exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were excellent for our guests. Everyone had a fantastic time. The Marriott created memories for us that we will never forget. Thank you for making our day so special!!! We look forward to coming back to the Marriott for our anniversary for many years!!!
Wedding: 4/26/2013
Everyone recommended the Marriott in Hilton Head to be the host hotel for our wedding guests. We already decided not to do our wedding at a hotel but it seemed to be the best hotel for everyone to stay at since it was right on the beach and had a really nice pool deck and a lot of other amenities. Once I got connected with the sales team for the room block it became very frustrating. While everyone was very nice, they dropped the ball multiple times on important details. First, I told them when I was sending out my save-the-dates and confirmed the reservation number was correct. (This was after the room block was confirmed, the contract was signed, and we put our credit card down for payment.) Once I got the thumbs up from the sales person at the Marriott that the information was correct, I sent out the save-the-date cards. My best friend called me right after she received it and said the room block was not available. I called the Marriott and they said it wouldn't be available for taking reservations until October (this was July!). They never once mentioned that in the contract or on the phone and asked me if I could simply send out an email to all my guests and let them know. To some people I guess that's not a big deal, but I'm a planner and try to have all the details figured out so it's not confusing for people. After I tried to politely ask them to expedite our room block and get it activated, they continued to tell me how their process worked and that the one person who handled room blocks wasn't able to do it. That conversation turned into a heated argument where I explained that I would've understood if they just would've told me BEFORE I sent out all the information to the guests. Now that the guests had the info, I wanted them to be able to make reservations if they wished. I finally got them to make the exception and get it done that day, but it was not an easy process. That was my biggest issue, but we also had a few other hiccups while we were there, like not all of our guests received our welcome gift bags upon check-in like they promised. And they told me they would send me an updated reservation list monthly and weekly as we got closer to the event, but they never actually sent anything unless I emailed them first requesting it. (Although she was very responsive when I did email her.) Also, my future in-laws room had a broken AC unit and it took them a few hours to find a solution. A maintenance man said he'd return to fix it and never did, so after they waited an hour, we finally just asked for a new room which was provided. Those were a few of the issues we had, but they did upgrade our standard suite to a gorgeous, HUGE suite that came in very handy with getting ready and accommodating a lot of people for meals and such. Also, we had an impromptu "get together" after dinner in our suite one night and we were pretty loud. The security guy was incredibly nice when he asked us to be quiet (which was totally understandable). Overall, our guests had an amazing time at the hotel and LOVED the pool, bar, restaurants, and the service. It was all worth it but it was just a bit of a headache for the one who was planning it! :) I'm just glad we didn't have to plan the whole wedding there. I would definitely go back and stay at the property if I needed a hotel in the area.
Wedding: 4/27/2013
We had a wonderful experience with our room block at the HHI Marriott. They worked with us to make our group's experience affordable and special. Everyone had a wonderful stay, and our honeymoon suite was amazing!
Wedding: 7/8/2012
The Marriott was a beautiful venue for our wedding. The staff (especially Melainie) were so helpful, and they put up with all my bridal craziness. The food was delicious, too! My one complaint would be that they printed the price on the menus for our prepaid rehearsal dinner, and all of the guests could see how much the meal cost. Slightly embarrassing. Otherwise, a wonderful experience!!
Wedding: 9/3/2011
This hotel was booked by our out of town guest. We were able to secure a shuttle for the evening for a nominal fee. This hotel allowed other wedding guest to park at the hotel and take the shuttle to and from the beach house wedding location. The front desk manager was fabulous, the catering manager is not as accomodating.
Wedding: 9/3/2011
Loved the hotel! The service was great! We even got free valet parking the whole time for being newlyweds! (didn't hurt that our car said "Just Married!")!
Wedding: 9/4/2011
The Marriott Resort and Spa in Hilton Head was a dream location to have my wedding! From touring the venue to choosing it and having my wedding there it was a breeze. Melainie Allen, the wedding coordinator for the hotel was awesome with communicating and making sure that everything went perfect on our day. I didn't have to worry about a thing on the Marriotts side of things. She even helped us with the ceremony on the beach which she did not have to do. Melainie went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. If you want to feel confident I highly reccomend the Hilton Head Marriott Resort and Spa. The amenities are better than any other resort on the island and you and your guests will love it!
Wedding: 7/23/2011
standing venue! Melainie was great to work with!
Wedding: 10/4/2008
We had a beautiful wedding at the Marriott. Outdoor ceremony on the veranda and reception in the breakfast room. Guests loved Hilton Head and the Marriott did a great job. Helped with the entire wedding, from distributing gift bags to guests, to ceremony and pictures on local golf course and then great reception. Food was excellent and Melainie was a great help.
Wedding: 10/9/2010
I had a great experience getting married at the Hilton Head Resort and Spa.
Melainie, the event coordinator, was extremely organized, easy to work with and did a great job. My wedding day was very relaxed - all of the planning that Melainie and her staff did eliminated alot of stress. She also reccommended really good vendors that know the property well and had a good relationship with her team. That also made things run smoothly.
The hotel's lawn, which is adjacent to the beach, where they do the ceremony is a perfect setting, as you get to have a "beach wedding", without all of the distractions, noise and public atmosphere you would have if it were on the beach. I liked the way the guests could look out onto the ocean, but it was still private.
Finally, having the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all in the same place, where the guests were staying, made it really fun for everyone. No worries about timing, transportation, etc.
I had perfect day, and was really happy with the whole thing!
Wedding: 5/7/2011
The Hilton Head Marriot Resort and Spa was the perfect place to have my wedding reception. Many of our guests stayed at the resort and loved every minute of their stay. If you are looking for beach atmosphere for your wedding, this is definitely the place to have it. As soon as you walk into the front doors of the Resort, you see the ocean, it is just beautiful! Everyone who works at the Resort are very pleasant as well. Melainie, the wedding coordinator made sure that all the details were perfect on the wedding day and was so great to work with. I did not have to stress about anything on the wedding day when it came to the table placements, food, DJ, cake, and she even took care of handling the florist when she arrived late with the center pieces. It was great! I also scheduled pedicures for me, my Mom and Matron of Honor the day before the wedding at the Spa and it was just a wonderful experience. No doubt about it, this is the place to have your wedding on Hilton Head Island!

I've never worn a worse shoe. And never had a pair of shoes so unequal. Right shoe ripped out on the inside within 3 months. Not comfortable either. They were better when they had a Converse name on them.

Second Spurs youth star heads to Italy on loan
A promising young Tottenham pair are heading to Serie B, one on loan and one in a permanent move.
A promising young Tottenham pair are heading to Serie B, one on loan and one in a permanent move.
Souleymane Coulibaly has joined Bari from Tottenham Hotspur, and immediately been loaned to Pistoiese.
Tottenham Hotspur beat Arsenal 2-0 in the Under-21 Premier League last night.
Despite Grosseto winning 4-3 against mid-table Bari including goals from Arturo Lupoli and Souleymane Coulibaly they finished bottom of Serie B.
The 18 year old striker netted a 95th minute equaliser in Serie B, and has set his sights on playing more for Tottenham Hotspur next season.
Manchester United, Norwich, QPR, Tottenham, Manchester City, Newcastle United, Arsenal and West Ham all feature.
The striker has decided he will represent his country in South Africa this month leaving Spurs with just Jermain Defoe as a recognised striker. Who could move from midfield, come back from loan or step up from the youth team to fill the void?
It was a disappointing result at White Hart Lane with defeat to the Catalan giants, although fans would not be displeased with the performance from The Young Lilywhites.
Tottenham Hotspur fans might want to get quietly excited about the progress of Souleymane Coulibaly.

Brand New Look For FOXNews.com
FOXNews.com unveiled a white-washed new design this morning, dumping its black and red format for a "new, clean and crisp" design. It's a big change, and it's going to take some getting used to.
"Our new design makes our site quicker to navigate, and our content easier to view. We've also altered our production process so that we can deliver breaking news and the latest headlines faster than ever," Bert Solivan and Steve Bromberg say.
The site's new features include numerous special sections, "much more video," new navigation bars, a "customizable news page," and a Google search tool.

Supporters of Oscar Lopez Rivera, one of the world's longest held political prisoners, marched in solidarity over the Williamsburg Bridge Saturday.
Rivera has been held in U.S. prisons for 32 years.
He is serving time for conspiracy for his involvement in the fight for Puerto Rico's independence.
Saturday's unity march included speeches, chants and music, starting on the Lower East Side and ending in Williamsburg.
The event was part of a nationwide effort to call for Rivera's release.
"We think it's important that after more than 30 years, he be pardoned and be given his liberty to come out and be a free man," said one person.
"He never hurt anyone. He never maimed anyone. There was no violent acts," said another. "He was just a person like George Washington, the statue that's here today in this park, who believed in independence for his homeland."
Rivera refused a pardon offer from President Bill Clinton in 1999 because it wasn't given to all advocates for Puerto Rico's independence.

Since you are in marketing, you should very well know that a landing

What will be the call to action button, Patrick? Where will it lead?
How will you handle "shut up and take my money" impulses?

Publishing awesome inspiring content is what I'd do. In fact it's what
I already do, just in my primary field. Because, you see, I don't
believe in a thousand of people pointing their little fluffy blogs at
a content that few people deeply care about. We've been there already.
It doesn't work all that well.
People want to be inspired. In terms of audio that would be great
composition and arrangement, fat and rich sound, professional mixing
and mastering. Oh, and "I didn't spend half of my lifetime on that"
label. That would get attention. Can you provide that? Will you be
able to support the interest?
See? It's not that I'm against fixing the crap. I'd just hate to see a
lot of efforts spent for no real benefit.

Ahhhh, that's quite alright! It's best not to game too much anyway xD. TBH, I've been taking a break from league for a while since I eventually turned into a swearing sailor, but I go on every now and then when my bf drags me into one. I actually ended up transfering my violetunicorns account over to the oceania server so add my LondonBridges account x). We can help you out whenever we're online! Also, how's that job coming along? Lifeguarding can be a bit tiring to do when there's nothing going on but it's a pretty serious job.
Yes I heard about those fishing prizes o.o. I'm not too familiar with it but I saw a few of the quests you could do on Vathi's page since she's going after them, but other than that I don't know the specifics. Do you plan on completing again when you have the time?

webby74 (24th October 2013)
Hi All,
So long story short, we have never provided email for the pupils at our school for various reasons that I won't get into here. We are now ready to roll out email to all pupils and have been testing with a small few over the past half a year.
Just looking for any guidance, best practice, help with planning the final roll out where we go live with 1000 new pupil emails.
The infrastructure is more than ready but it's more from a human and child protection standpoint, educating staff etc... If anyone could share any information from a similar experience I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance
We have just given school emails out to all students here. We rolled it out by year group/house. So one week would be year 11 - Monday would be house 1, tuesday would be house 2, wednesday would be house 3, thursday would be house 4. Then a week or a couple of weeks after, roll out to year 10 in the same format.
We gave them a sheet with how to get on, their email address, temporary password (mail merged from excel - all details) and activate the account along with rules as we have a closed system so to speak where students can only use their school account to email staff and not email other students (cuts down on bullying). We can then start to open up domains what need to send students emails. Keeps things in control.
The problem we had was trying to get staff to send emails to students school email addresses as they used to have their private email addresses. I soon turned this on its head so created a student address book on our exchange server and populated it student email addresses as contacts as the student emails are hosted by office365 with a subdomain of our domain.
I had to create contacts of staff on office365 for students so they could quickly email staff as students didnt know staff email addresses.
Its all gone very smoothly and the lower years are using their email addresses (or so i think). They keep coming in for password resets so they must be using them.
If you need any more info on what we did, let me know.

Take Action
Transparency and fairness in Brooklyn parole facility siting
While I am a strong proponent of ex-offender re-entry and community-based justice programs, I have deep concerns about the consolidation of all NYS parole operations in Brooklyn to a single location on the Gowanus Canal that is inconvenient to transit, with no information provided by DOCCS, and no engagement with residents, businesses, or schools nearby. Sign our petition.
Reduce Single-use Bags in NYC
Plastic bags are designed to be used only for a short period of time, but their negative impacts are long-lasting. Even when properly disposed of, plastic bags often blow away onto the street or into waterways, where they become eye-sores, clog storm drains, and endanger wildlife. Our bill aims to reduce the use and negative impacts of carryout bags by requiring a 10-cent charge for carryout bags in NYC grocery and retail stores, and stores would retain the cost of the charge.
Help End Credit Discrimination
The use of credit reports to discriminate against job applicants is on the rise, with over 60% of employers nationwide using the credit histories of prospective employees to inform their hiring decisions.
Update: 10/6/2014: NYT Editorial Board: Bad Credit? Big Problem. A favorable credit report shouldn't be a condition for employment. "New York could be a leader in reversing this unsavory trend."

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.
Re: Discussion? - US/INDIA/BRAZIL/CT- India, Brazil face threats from al-Qaeda: CIA's Leon Panetta
Released on 2013-02-13 00:00 GMT

Panetta could be loosely referencing the BAP triangle and how HZ operates
there. It would possibly track with the Agency's past statements that AQ
would/could seek shelter on other lawless parts of the world as a result
of them getting smoked in Af-Pak. This, they believe, is partly why Yemen
got so bad.

India I get, but Brazil? Have we seen AQ threats on Brazil in the past?
-------- Original Message ------
India, Brazil face threats from al-Qaeda: CIA
Wed, Mar 10 10:27 AM
The CIA on Tuesday warned India and Brazil that they face "emerging
threats" from the al-Qaeda and Taliban, though the terrorist outfits are
"on the run" due to extreme pressure exerted on them in Afghanistan and
CIA Director Leon Panetta, said, in his address at the University of
Oklahoma, that the US spy agency has a "fundamental duty to provide
warning and prevent surprise," which also refers to "emerging threats"
to nations like Brazil and India. He emphasised the need for growing
cooperation between the US and India on intelligence sharing.
Intense operations have put top al-Qaeda and Taliban leaders under
extreme pressure and "many of them are on the run," Panetta claimed. He
said "Our counter-terrorism operation have put top al-Qaeda leaders
under intense pressure and much of their network has been disrupted."
He said that American efforts both in Afghanistan and Pakistan were
aimed at hitting command and control centres of the al-Qaeda. Panetta's
claim comes as Pakistani forces with the help of CIA have captured some
top Taliban commanders, including the outfits No 2 Mulla Abdul Ghani
Saying that US was at war with al-Qaeda and its affiliated terrorist
organisations, Panetta claimed that operations in tribal areas of
Pakistan has killed more than half of al-Qaeda's top 20 commanders. US
drone attacks have also claimed to have killed more than 600 al-Qaeda
and Taliban militants in less than three years.
Warning that it was a war, the spy chief said al-Qaeda would keep on
coming at the Americans and said new intelligence indicated that Osama
bin Laden led outfit was changing its tactics and trying to launch
attacks on the US through people with no history of terrorist
Panetta said fighting spread of deadly weapons is a core issue of the
CIA's duties, especially in light of Osama Bin Laden describing the
acquisition of nuclear weapons as a "religious duty." Panetta said the
US is lagging behind in the cyber war and added that he feared that the
next Pearl Harbor might be a cyber attack.

Chandler police detectives now consider the dead son of a slain 80-year-old woman as the suspect in her death after police have examined, as evidence, a kitchen knife they believe was used to kill her.
The body of Beverly Finney was found stabbed multiple times inside her home about 11 a.m. on Jan. 20 after a woman called police requesting a welfare check at her house near Dobson and Queen Creek roads.
Her son, Greg Bilton, 56, who lived with her at the residence, died the following day after crashing Finney's Cadillac near mile post 295 on State Route 260, police said.
The investigation into her death is ongoing and detectives are following up on leads and evidence they have collected while awaiting an official ruling on Finney's death from the Maricopa County Medical Examiner.
"We have lost the ability to talk with Greg Bilton, so we must rely on evidence collected from the scene to bring into focus what exactly happened to Beverly Finney and who is responsible for her death." said Sgt. Joe Favazzo, a Chandler police spokesman. "There were obvious signs of foul play when officers found Finney's body."
Chandler Police are investigating the homicide that left Finney dead and the Arizona Department of Public Safety is investigating the crash that caused Bilton's death.

LinkedIn Poised to Drop?
NEW YORK ( TheGoldAndOilGuy.com) -- This week Zynga (ZNGA) tanked, dragging down Facebook (FB) with it.
There's been a lot of hype regarding everything social, but not exactly a lot of follow through regarding earnings.
Recently, a new member of our team here at TTT, Brennan Basnicki, put out a fundamental piece on LinkedIn (LNKD) that I think merits a good readover as it is applicable to many of the high-flying tech stocks we've seen get absolutely crushed lately.
Further, if we look at some more of the fundamentals and technical indicators I think we may have found a prime shorting candidate.On the fundamental side:

I know that you aren't supposed to mix the usual green coolant with the Toyota coolant..don't worry, I didn't!
This came up recently..GM had the Dexcool (AKA Deathcool) and some people were flushing it entirely and converting to the green, due to issues with the Dexcool.
Is it possible to do the same with Toyota's red stuff? And have there been issues with the Toyota stuff that would cause a change to be beneficial?

Reviews & Ratings
More than pleasantly surprised
Our family of 5 was here this weekend from Sumner, WA and we come to the coast on a regular basis for fun outdoor activities such as razor clam digging, beachcombing, saltwater fishing and shell fishing, camping and sometimes just for a little R&R. We came down this weekend to dig razor clams and we were more than pleasantly surprised when we arrived at Misti's Cottage, how warm and inviting it is. Our 3 girls were so excited about the open space and it was big enough to sleep all of us. We were happy parents because it was affordable and slept all of us. The décor is beyond adorable and we felt so at home here. When we explained to the girls that a person named "Misti" owned the home and we were just borrowing it for the weekend. They were very respectful of everything in the house and had a blast playing in the fenced yard while we relaxed and enjoyed the quiet inside. Thank you very much for sharing your cottage with us. – Brad & Sabrina

I've only played about 100 dominion games and this has always confused me. I think the largest 'dominion bonus' i've ever gotten was 10ip. Last game I got 5ip and the one before that 1ip.
It doesn't seem like much of an incentive to play dominion, and if its more based on how badly you do, well, that seems a little odd as well.
Sorry if this is well known by the dominion community, but i'm just kind of miffed as to the point of it.
The point of the Dominion bonus, as with any bonus, falls under the assumption that more is better. In this case, having an ip bonus rather than not seems like a pretty good deal, no?
If you're question is actually why Riot wanted to distribute a bonus, that is a little more difficult to solve. I get the impression that a longer, tougher game generates more points, and a quick and decisive game naturally assigns less. With that in mind, I assume Riot wants you to work for those points, and the more challenging the game, the more they want to award. At the same it can't be a 1,000,000 points awarded for a good game and only 100 for a bad, so the bonus difference might be appear subtle relative to what the shop wants you to spend.
While individually each game bonus is small, games are also relatively quick. Adding the bonuses together, you might be able to pull together a few extra hundred ip.
Ahhhh Crap
^ That's how I always saw it, though I admit the small size of the bonus is often rather odd.

Then he slips out of the spell.
He gulps a mouthful of rum and blows it around the room in a large, misty spray. He walks over to Chantal, swigs some rum, and sprays it on her. She is holding the machete in front of her, its blade inches from her face. Without a word, Erol calmly takes the machete from her hand and passes it to a woman standing nearby. He embraces Chantal, and she too slips out of the trance. The room is quiet.
There is more singing, in soft voices now, and a few candles are lit. The ceremony is over. Erol is physically drained. The spirits have come and gone.
It is 5:30 a.m. Friday. The oak-tree-lined street in Hempstead is beginning to stir. Lights illuminate windows, and people in suits walk to their cars to begin their commutes to work.
Erol and the others from the basement emerge and stand on the lawn. Erol jokes and chats softly with Florence, while Huguette and the other women shake the fabric of their skirts and cool off in the morning air. Everyone is still dressed in their white ceremonial clothes, and they glow like ghosts in the predawn half-darkness. They discuss plans to continue the voodoo rituals at Chantal's house later that evening; the chicken sacrifice needs to be taken care of.
Erol is moving slowly, his eyes heavy with exhaustion. He has to get back to the city, to his sister's apartment. He wants to sleep. He's not sure what time the ceremony will begin later that night, but it doesn't really matter. Voodoo, he says, has no time.

How to deal with the old/experienced nurses?! - page 16
Hello! I m a new RN on A med-surge floor and most of my co-workers are old nurses that have been on that floor for years! They don't seem to like me and i have NO idea why! I am a quiet person. I mean i like to socialize but I... Read More
- 1Jan 3, '13 by RNfasterQuote from joanna73Wow. Such behavior blows my mind. I don't find your response harsh at all.I have experienced this from both sides as well. To share an example with a newbie: this person works another unit during the week, and ours on off days. So he is over tired, which I have cautioned, since no matter what, your accountability is at stake. "Can I go in a room and sleep for an hour?" He asks at the start of the shift. "No." I said, "you're in charge and there is insulin and breakfast meds to give." To which he looked at me like I had two heads, like, "What's the matter?" Uh, it's your job buddy. Not to mention, he'd been working with us for a month. Some of the senior nurses may come off as "harsh", but then, some newbies need to get their priorities straight. Who cares if not everyone likes me? We just need to work together.
- 0Jan 3, '13 by PRICHARILLAisMISSEDWell Ms Ruby when you're right, your right.
But I think there is a bit of miscommunication between us.
The serious attitude problem stems from your assumptions that the more experienced nurses you'll be working with have a mission to make you miserable "just because they can." Granted, I haven't worked everywhere in the world, but I've seen very few (count on the fingers of one hand) experienced nurses with a mission to make anyone miserable. I have seen experienced nurses who are poor teachers, but that doesn't make them mean, nasty or on a mission to use anyone for a punching bag.
Whether you like it or not, when you start a position as a brand new nurse, the experienced nurses on the unit WILL have authority over you. Not all of of them, but not just your preceptor, either. ALL of the preceptors you encounter, the charge nurses, assistant managers and heads of various committees will have input into your orientation and will be asked for their evaluations of your progress and how you fit into the unit. This is not "ridiculous perceived authority" over you; it's all the seasoned nurses keeping an eye out for the newbie so he doesn't kill his patient. If an experienced nurse tells you you're doing something wrong -- especially in an ICU where small mistakes snowball into big ones very rapidly -- not listening can have serious consequences. First for your patient, and then for your continued tenure in your job.
Ma'am the OP wasn't talking about the Charge nurse or any of the others you mention. She was talking about the other floor nurses. It is them that I'm saying have the "Perceived Authority." I mean I'm sorry but why should the OP just put up with them being snotty to her by virtue of time in hospital and nothing else? That's just not right. Doesn't the new grad nurse have enough to stress? I mean no disrespect to you established nurses, but according to a lot of you guys the environment is even more stressful and difficult than anything a student could imagine. Why should her/his peers (not charge or other mentioned, but peers, because regardless of their time in hospital if they hold the same title they are peers. More experienced peers, but peers at that). add to that? Shouldn't the new grad nurses be nurtured along by their more experienced peers and not treated as an inconvenience. Granted this happens in other professions, but from reading these posts on AN the overwhelming majority of nurses claim they became nurses "Not for the money but because they care, and want to be there for the unhealthy." You would think that this "Caring attitude" would also be directed at a peer who wants to do what they are doing. But in practice-going by these forums, and not to mention word of mouth by my RN buddies-it seems like you guys just look for opportunities to pick each other apart.
There's also serious attitude problems in your assumptions that your future co-workers wish to feed their egos by using you as a whipping boy, that most of your future colleagues are "bitter because they've been doing the same thing for X amount of years", that "they are not competent enough to be promoted" or "they don't have the drive to make the necessary sacrifices to educate themselves into a bitter position." I'm not where all of these negative assumptions come from, but carrying them into the workplace is not going to endear you to your future colleagues.
Ms Ruby, I made no assumptions like this in regards to my future co workers. I was referring to the co workers the OP described. It does seem, going by the available information, that the OPs co-workers look down on her and treat her as she shouldn't be there. I mean come on Ma'am, instead of answering a question the OP says they just ignore her completely or give her dirty looks. Maybe the Op is exaggerating, maybe she isn't. But I'm sure there is some truth to it. I also get that it may be the case that the OP is asking the same questions over and over and the more experienced peers are tired of it. But then again maybe that is not the case. The point is we don't know.
Maybe I was a little short in one of my responses to you. But nothing I've posted towards you compares to how you almost as if by instinct jumped down this girls throat. You just immediately, and I mean immediately assumed AND accused her of being at fault. I believe you were wrong for that.
It has been my considerable experience that most newbies who come into the workplace with so many and so serious negative assumptions about the people they expect to teach them and mentor them are very difficult to teach. They don't respect the preceptor or her experience, and it shows. The preceptor/orientee relationship then becomes an untenable situation. Often, other preceptors are brought into the mix to attempt to teach the newbie, but because the difficulty arises in the newbie's attitude, they are unsuccessful as well. Orientations become extended and the newbie usually quits or is fired. This doesn't happen because the experienced nurse sets out to vilify the newbie or jeopardize his income. It comes about because of the newbie's own attitude and issues. Enter the workplace with this attitudes intact, and I have no doubt you'll be miserable. But it won't be your experienced colleagues' faults. It will be your own.
Fair enough. I will be sure to not come into the profession with such negative attitudes. But to clarify I don't have them now. I was simply advocating for the OP after you let loose on her
Quote from Ruby VeeLOLHave I misquoted you? Are you not the poster who said "that your future co-workers wish to feed their egos by using you as a whipping boy, that most of your future colleagues are "bitter because they've been doing the same thing for X amount of years", that "they are not competent enough to be promoted" or "they don't have the drive to make the necessary sacrifices to educate themselves into a bitter position."
These assumptions are indicative of a negative attitude toward the nurses you will be working with in the future. That goes far and beyond "advocating for the OP." The OP asked for advice, and I took considerable time and thought to giving to her, under the assumption that it might help. I've given you some advice as well. Unless I've misquoted you and those weren't your statements, you're headed down the same road as the OP.
Exactly how I thought you'd respond. I'll address this when I get homeLast edit by PRICHARILLAisMISSED on Jan 3, '13
- 1Jan 4, '13 by ColoradoRockyAnyway - thanks for the advice and insights here. I get the feeling that if I want to be a good nurse, I will always remain a student in some ways. I will go with what my mom says she learned in decades of nursing: My patients will teach me more about nursing that I will ever expect to learn. Also, after 40+ years, she still hates giving bed baths.
- 0Jan 8, '13 by SCSTxRNQuote from RNfasterLol - me either. Honestly, in Joanna73's position, I would probably have laughed. If he asked again, I'd probably get in trouble for saying, "It's only funny the first time you joke like that. You were kidding, right?"Wow. Such behavior blows my mind. I don't find your response harsh at all.
- 3Jan 8 by Ruby VeeQuote from nurmacI'm not sure which post you're replying to of the 153 that preceded this one. So I'll take your word for it that "they" -- whoever "they" are -- aren't nice people. But I hope no one truly believes the "they're just jealous of you" business that your mother used to tell you when kids picked on you at school. Your mother probably didn't even believe it -- she just couldn't think of anything else to say. And if she DID believe it, well she was biased.they aren't nice people. And when one is like that it spreads. There is no exscuse for that behavior and most likey the are jealous of you and you intimidate them
If you're having difficulty getting along with your coworkers, chances are very minute that the problem is that they're just jealous of you. It could be that you remind them of their former daughter-in-law (the one that trashed their wedding china) or that your giggle rubs them the wrong way. It could also be that you're doing something really stupid that is incredibly annoying. It would be in your best interest to figure out what the real story is, rather than just resting on your theory that "they hate you because you're beautiful!"

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serb rioters broke into the U.S. Embassy Thursday and set fire to the facade after a massive protest against Kosovo's independence.
Masked attackers were seen climbing over a first-floor railing on the building and trying to throw furniture from an office. A blaze broke out along the mission's front facade.
The neighboring Croatian Embassy also was attacked by the same group of protesters.
Riot police intervened, firing tear gas and driving a number of armored jeeps down the street to clear the crowd.
