yes, leadership can be taught and it comes through experience.
by J.L.H.D. | ATLANTA
A PERENNIAL argument among business-school types is whether leadership can be taught. To see how far this question has evolved, the Academy of Management, publisher of some of the more well-respected journals in business education, has posted a list of the best articles to have appeared in Academy of Management Learning & Education discussing leadership development. "Leaders are not the finished product of any single institution," write the curators, Gianpiero Petriglieri of INSEAD and D. Scott DeRue of Michigan's Ross School of Business. "The question instead is how business schools best contribute [to] their students' ongoing development as leaders."
One of the featured pieces tackles the question "can leadership be taught?" head-on. For a 2003 article, Jonathan Doh of Villanova interviewed business-school professors about teaching leadership. They could find little consensus on two important aspects: how early it should be taught and by whom. Some thought the earlier leadership development begins the better. Others suggested that callow undergraduates or MBA students might not yet be ready. Some said that experienced CEOs, long favoured as lecturers on the subject, can have trouble generalising from their own experiences. Others that academic researchers have the opposite problem: a wide view of the literature but with few compelling stories to tell.
A combination of compelling story and broader viewpoint can be found in an article by members of America's Nationa lInteragency Fire Center. One of the authors, Michael Useem, has a great deal of experience pulling leadership stories out of disasters. Detailing the events that led to 14 firefighters losing their lives in a 1994 Colorado forest fire, the authors isolate ten decisions by the firefighters' leaders that led to some being saved and some dying, and the reasons why some of those decisions were less than optimal. They also describe the leadership courses that have been developed specifically for wildland firefighters in the wake of the fatal Colorado fire.
Even if the ungraspable commodity that is "leadership" might not be fully teachable, leadership tools can be, report John Antonakis, Marika Fenley and Sue Lietchi of the University of Lausanne. Their test subjects were a group of middle managers in Switzerland; their experiment, teaching a portion of those managers how to speak and act with more charisma—using anecdotes, metaphors, even changing their voices and facial expressions to be more compelling. Those who received such training saw improvements on their feedback evaluations compared to the control group. It was not a cheap intervention; the authors estimate that the trainees spent 30 extra hours, at a minimum, on their charisma training. But it did seem to pay off, at least in the short run.
Beth Benjamin and Charles O'Reilly of Stanford, in a 2011 piece, investigate both leadership and MBA programmes' contributions to it by interviewing a group of recent MBA graduates on the greatest challenges they faced while moving into managerial positions. Many of them were surprised by poor reviews or feeling overwhelmed by the need to manage different personalities. Whereas in class they were more focused on problem-solving and individual achievement, they were now required to contribute to their peers' and subordinates' well-being on a daily basis. Some made the transition, however painfully; others, feeling put upon, fled for new jobs.
Those struggling would-be leaders might be well served by reading a 2006 piece by Robert Kaiser and Robert Kaplan, of Kaplan DeVries, an executive-development consultancy. Rather than reporting the results of an experiment or presenting a case study, Messrs Kaiser and Kaplan discuss how managers get tripped up by various "sensitivities"—fears of being thought weak or let down by others, for example—and then make concrete suggestions how to overcome such insecurities. But here, too, there is no quick fix: the authors firmly believe that the bulk of the work has to be done by the individual. The company can provide the tools, the training, the privacy, and the supportive environment, but overcoming such sensitivities is a personal challenge.
One might browse all the articles gathered here and get impatient, feeling that the various authors are talking around the problem of teaching leadership without being able to summarise it. If there is an overall message to be had, it may be that aspects of leadership can be taught, and leadership can be learned; but such learning is not easy, and the bulk of the burden falls on the student.

Cannot send or receive Text Messages in USA with my SIM card out, no 3G either
Tuesday 14th of August 2012
Hi Guys,Does anyone have the same problem? If I remove Verizon SIM card from my Droid 2 Global, I do not have 3G icon on and I cannot send or receive messages. It gives me an error message "text message was not sent". I can still make phone calls though.Verizon Rep told me that my usage within USA should have nothing to do with SIM card, but could not explain why it affects my phone the way it does. I factory reset my phone 2 times; one by myself a few days ago and another one yesterday, via Verizon Representative.I don't know if that's how it was from day 1, but I noticed this problem ~ 6 months ago, after I came back from abroad and forgot to put Verizon SIM back in. Also, with SIM card inserted, my phone automatically chooses Global mode as a preferred mode, even when in USA. Verizon Rep told me to change it manually to CDMA and insisted I keep it that way (which means that every time I reboot my phone, I have to manually change my mode from Global to CDMA). I don't see any benefits of CDMA vs Global so far - I had my phone in Global for the last 1,8 years until I called

I Can't receive text messages on my Xperia X8 after unlocking
Friday 04th of February 2011
I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia X8. After unlocking the phone I put in my new SIM I realized that thought I could make and receive calls and data, I could only send text messages. The problem I have with my phone currently is that after the unlocking process I can no longer receive text messages on my phone.I bought the phone during Christmas and it was locked to the O2 network, at the time it was running android 1.6 and I upgraded it to 2.1 shortly after. After the upgrade I could still send and receive text messages perfectly. I left the U.k. about two weeks after buying the phone and roamed it for about a month before finally unlocking it. Please not that even while roaming I was still receiving text messages from the mobile operator (O2). I have called my current mobile operator (MTN) and they suggested I check the SMSC number, I entered *#*#4636#*#* into the key pad which brought up a menu which I used to check the SMSC number, it is suppose to be +234803000000 but the phone shows "+234803000000",145 I've assumed this is correct and that the quote marks and postf

April 11, 2005
The Arizona Legislature is close to adopting a new set of homeowners association reforms that would make it easier to remove board members, replace proxy voting with absentee ballots and tell potential home buyers in plain English about certain rights they give up when joining an association.
A series of proposals approved by the House of Representative has been combined into a single measure, HB2154, awaiting debate in the Senate. Key lawmakers say the bill likely will pass because of widespread support from reform advocates and the HOA industry, two sides that usually are at each other's political throats.
"This one is a little staggering with the ease that it has passed," said Sen. Jim Waring, a Republican whose district includes western Scottsdale, Cave Creek and Carefree. "Frankly, you just don't see that on (HOA reform). It is always contentious."
But there's still plenty of frustration out there. Many HOA reform advocates are angry that key lawmakers never allowed committee votes on more sweeping changes they claim would provide homeowners further protection from abuses of power by associations and their management companies.
"This isn't democracy," said Fred Fischer, a reform proponent from Gilbert. "Every bill should be voted up or down on its individual merits. No single person should be able to block (a bill)."
Reform advocates had hoped to build on momentum from last year's legislative session when several significant changes were approved to eliminate the ability of HOAs to seize homes from owners who fail to pay fines, and to make HOA boards more accountable to regular members.
About two dozen bills related to HOA reform were introduced in the House this year. But only a handful emerged from committees chaired by Rep. Chuck Gray, R-Mesa, and Rep. Michele Reagan, R-Scottsdale. Most measures were blocked to avoid unintended consequences, Reagan said.
Gray has gambled by combining several proposals into a single bill late in the legislative session. In previous years, allencompassing bills failed because attacks from different groups against individual provisions would snowball and remove too many votes in favor of the overall proposal.
So far, HB2154 isn't facing the same problem. Various HOA groups continue to debate language revisions, but say they support the underlying concepts.
Key features of the bill include:
• Making a simple majority at an association meeting enough to recall sitting board members. Currently, each HOA decides how many votes are required to remove board members. But most HOA contracts call for a minimum 75 percent. Calling a special meeting to discuss such recalls would require signatures from 10 percent of association members or 1,000 people, whichever is less.
• Eliminating all voting by proxy, in which an association member grants another a person the general power to vote for him. Instead, associations would have to print and mail absentee ballots to members.
• Requiring associations to apply a member's payments toward regular dues first, and then toward any unpaid fines. Reform advocates say some associations are using a "loophole" in a law passed last year to apply payments to fines first, because associations can still foreclose on homes for unpaid dues.
• Changing a required written statement that goes to potential home buyers so it is clear they would waive their homestead exemptions if they join an HOA. The state's homestead exemption protects the value of a home, up to $150,000, from foreclosure proceedings.

5 Weird Modern Day Military Weapons
Subscribe to our newsletter
Since the days of our early ancestors, mankind has been gradually improving on ways to hurt and kill each other. In the age of technology, the ability to inflict damage on other people has reached new heights and militaries around the world have developed or are in the process of developing a wide array of weird and often frightening new weapons for the 21st century.
1. The Special Weapons Observation Reconnaissance Detection System
The Special Weapons Observation Reconnaissance Detection System or SWORDS are Talon robots first used in the detection and removal of explosives that have been modified with mounted weapons. The SWORDS are radio controlled and can be equipped with machine guns, rifles, grenade launchers and anti-tank rocket launchers. With armed robots already in use in Iraq, some predict this is the dawn of a new era of warfare and it's only a matter of time before armed robot units make up the bulk of the modern army, and maybe even start thinking for themselves.
2. Electromagnetic Personnel Interdiction Control
The Electromagnetic Personnel Interdiction Control or EPIC for short is being developed by the US Navy as a non lethal weapon. It omits intense radio-frequency emissions that can penetrate walls and disrupts the functions of the targets inner ears, which effects their balance and coordination and gives them a bad case of motion sickness. The weapon is designed to subdue an enemy without too much damage to them, though it could get a bit messy.
3. The Silent Guardian
Another weapon designed by the US military to defeat an enemy without harming them is The Silent Guardian. The weapon is a 95GHz millimetre wave "active denial system" and has a range of 500 meters. It can be used for individual targets or crowds and heats the skin of the target to a temperature of 50 degrees centigrade which is comparable to the blast from a very hot oven; the heat repels the crowd or person, forcing them to retreat to cover. When the target moves out of range of the beam, the burning sensation stops and no damage is caused.
4. The Air Born Laser
The Air Born Laser or ABL weapon system is currently under development and will use a high-energy, chemical oxygen iodine laser (COIL) mounted on a modified 747-400F (freighter) aircraft primarily to shoot down ballistic missiles. The idea is that jets will patrol friendly areas at high altitudes of around 40,000 feet and scout for missiles as they are launched. The ABL system will then relay information to a computer which will calculate its course and direction before another laser with weapons class strength will destroy the missile over the launch area.
5. High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program
The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program or HAARP is a project that affects weather systems which, according to some scientists, is being developed in part at least, to be used as a weapon. HAARP will be able to enhance and prolong storms and divert Vapour Rivers in the Earth's atmosphere to cause floods or drought on specific targets. Some even claim the weapon can cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and some believe this has already happened. When describing the earthquake that hit Tangshan in China on July 28, 1976, and killed over 650,000 people, the New York Times reported that witnesses stated that just before the first tremor the sky lit up as bright as the day in white an red lights. Plant life in the area was burned to a crisp, scorched on one side as if by a fireball. This has led some so called conspiracy theorists to speculate that 'weather weapons' are already in use, and have been for some time.

Technology Integration Begins at Home
A lot of times, I find myself working just as hard, or harder, to inspire folks as I do to inform them. While I am consistently helping all the teachers I work with to increase their purposeful use of technology in the classroom, I find that too often I am encouraging veteran teachers to come over the threshold and begin using it.
A significant challenge -- which seems sort of counterintuitive -- is the fact that these are folks who already know how to teach their curriculum. And to compound the issue, students, parents, and administrators have told them for years that they are pretty good at delivering it. And then I show up to encourage them to teach in significantly new and different ways.
Building on Expertise
Refusing to lose the great assets veteran teachers can bring to the effective use of technology, I would never suggest that they simply toss away those years of experience and start fresh. Rather, I advocate for blending current technology with their years of classroom experience, strong control of content, and thousands of interactions with kids and parents. Combined, technology and experience create an improved ability to support even more kids in becoming even more successful. (Watch this Edutopia video in which a veteran teacher takes on technology.) So here's the question: Where is the best place to begin convincing teachers who don't use technology about the power of these tools?
At home -- that's my answer. You see, I think many educators are more apt to carry technology use over from their personal lives into their professional ones than to take it on as a new part of their job. A teacher who uses a digital camera to share images of a home remodel as email attachments with her grown children has begun to understand the power of digital communication in a personal way. A teacher who uses online resources to plan a trip has begun to understand the power of the Web in answering any question one is curious enough about to ask. Once they experience the power and ease of current digital photography or Web-based research in their personal lives, the stage is set for helping them bring technology into their classroom teaching.
Making Technology a Reality
In my experience, there is one best practice for supporting teachers in integrating technology into their personal lives. A colleague in Alaska put it in action there, and I was reminded of it recently. Here's how it goes:
In the spring, all staff that have signed continuing contracts for the next school year receive this announcement: "Staff Summer Technology Buy Plan! You may purchase any laptop or desktop computer, digital still or video camera, or other digital peripheral for up to $2,000. Bring the receipt to the business office and fill out the appropriate forms, and the school district will reimburse your cost up to $2,000. During the following school year, we will take the amount reimbursed out of your paycheck over the 26 biweekly pay periods in equal installments with no interest. For interested staff, we will hold after-school sessions to answer questions and to provide advice and training for any technology you are considering buying."
The results are striking in the few school districts where I have seen this happen. Teachers who were hesitant about buying new technology were willing to upgrade. Teachers who had never owned a computer saw this as a chance to jump in. And conversations in the faculty break room began to change:
"I found a great Web site with information about bed-and-breakfasts outside Edinburgh. They have pictures and everything, so we are having a blast plotting out our trip to Scotland this summer. There must be something like that for upstate New York, Sal. I'll show you the kind of stuff we're using if you'd like. I've bookmarked them on my laptop."
"Isn't there a way to make a digital camera stop giving people red eye? Has anyone figured it out on his or her camera? You have? Great! Now, show me how to do it before it drives me crazy!"
"You have to see the pictures I took at the picnic on Saturday. You have to see a couple of them at least. What email address do you want me to send them to?"
"Our daughter Alicia is getting married this summer. I want to do one of those slide shows with pictures from when she and Anton were little kids to today, but I'm having a hard time getting the music to keep on playing through the whole thing. Didn't you do one for your Christina last year? Could you take a look at what I'm doing wrong? I have it with me on my laptop."
And so discussions are created for using technology in classrooms:
"You know, the power to use attachments with email is incredible, but with our school's system, you can do it one better. How about making your handouts for that astronomy lesson you do available as documents that kids can download? Then, when a student needs another copy of something, or a parent wants to take another look at the rubric, they can just head to your Web site! It's really easy. In fact, if you're using attachments already, you'll get this right away. Let me show you how it's done. I'll use my laptop."
And on and on goes the learning. It starts at home, then is shared with colleagues, and -- with careful nurturing -- transitions into the classroom. So what do you think? Have you seen something like this happen in your school? How would you rate yourself as a tech-savvy educator? I look forward to hearing what you think!

I teach a 5th grade class of students with learning disabilities in Massachusetts. I agree that technology can improve almost any classroom's effectiveness of student engagement and achievement. One are of struggle I face is practical ways to incorporate technology within my room. Every other classroom in our building has a smartboard, except mine! I think that I would be the type of teacher to use this almost everyday and would find it invaluable. I have a few computers in my classroom, but they are quite slow and my students generally only use them once every couple of weeks to do research or supplemental practice through internet-based games. Other than that, all I currently have available is an overhead projector (something I do not consider to be technology advanced!). I am really interested in finding ways of incorporating more use of technology in the classroom. Does anyone have suggestions? It is quite inequitable that I am the only room that does not have access to the same type of technology, but it is true. Are there any practical ways for me to incorporate technology so that it is effective by not too time consuming?

I teach Kindergarten. My undergraduate degree required that I take a technology couse, I enjoyed and learned a great deal in this course. However, I had not used a lot of what I learned in the last couple of years. I wanted to update my computer skills so I took a technology course this past summer. It did not surprise me how much technology has changed. I learned how to make a slide show, created more friendly monthly new letters and even made an imovie with setting some of it to music.
We had a wide range of educators in this course. One of the teachers who was in the course will be retireing this year. I thought it was wonderful for her to be taking this couse so that she could teach her students something new this year. She also was bringing this new technology into her home. She was learning how to take digital pictures and how to download them to her computer so that she could e-mail them to family and friend who lived away.
Our middle school students receive laptop computers that they use throughout the school year. These computers go home with students to allow them to do homework and projects that are required of them. With technology changing so quickly it is up to educators new and old to keep up with the changes to support our students to meet with success.
I think that the technology incentive that was offered at those schools would be great! I would love to see that implemented in my county. I currently team teach with a veteran teacher. He uses technology. However, most of the things he does are still outdated. For instance, I was teaching a lesson WWII and the Holocaust. He brought me a stack of paper that had information about the Holocaust Museum. I was very appreciative, but I did not use any of the materials. Instead, I went to the museums website. He is coming around, but I think that if applied technology more to his personal life he would come around a bit quicker.
I am not currently a classroom teacher. I did teach first grade for 7 years about 15 years ago. I am working on my masters in education through an online university. Your blog peaked my interest because I am integrating technology into my daily life with my courses. I am certainly not tech-savvy but under these circumstances I am forced to learn as I go.
When I first started teaching,15 years ago, technology was limited to the Mac's in the "computer lab". Students used them for learning games and teachers used them for weekly newsletters. About my last year of teaching our district began offering in-services on internet uses and email. In the years that I've been out of the classroom the technology world has exploded. I am trying everything out at home, like blogging , for instance, so I can pass on what I learn to my students. Taking this online course exposes me to many areas of the internet like online libraries, research guidelines, sharing and interacting with educators all over the world. I love sharing and collaborating with other teachers and I believe technology is enabling me to do so more effectively.
I am learning to take baby steps and step out of my comfort zone and to not be intimidated by technology.
While I fully support the reimbursement plan to help teachers get technology at home, I wonder how much of an impact this will have on their teaching. Being proficient with technology at home doesn't always carry over into being proficient with classroom technology. I am a "young teacher", 24 years old, I grew up with the internet, computers, etc. But I still struggle to use the smart board that is in my classroom. I KNOW how to use it, but because of the logistics involved in setting it up I don't use it nearly as much as I should. Instead of mounting it to the wall, my school has it on wheels so it can be shared between classrooms, which is good in theory but bad in practice. Every time you want to use it you have to calibrate it first. The laptop and projector are on a cart that needs to be hooked up to the board with cords, etc. It's too much of a pain to be used on a daily basis. For teachers like myself, having the right tools in the right place would make all the difference. If the smart board and projector were mounted, they would get used a lot more!
I could not agree more. The students have to be the reason. And as a kindergarten teacher, I am sure you find yourself thinking that there are not only times to use the technology, but also times to not use the technology! I tell folks that, for effective technology integration in a kindergarten classroom, I think the most important piece of hardware is the rug! The kids should be sitting on it, and you will be sharing images taken with your digital camera, via a projector, onto a big screen - and the kids will be talking about what they see. And because these images are from their own life, they will have more to say... And literacy will grow - organically, beginning with the real world of the students.
Have fun!
Casie -
Yes, access matters, and there can be no question but those classroms that have their interactive whiteboard permanently mounted, with a ceiling-mounted projector as well, will make more consistent use of the device.
But I would suggest that it is, in the end, the quality of work we do with the device that matters most - As one of the "younger teachers," have you considered purposefully partnering with one of the veterans in your school around the Smartboard. You bring your tech-heavy experience and the veteran brings his or her curricular and kid-heavy experience, and you both grow in finding ways to use this tool the most effectively.
Good luck in all!
I currently do not have a full time teaching position, but I am attending an online college to attain my master's degree in Integrating Technology in the Classroom. I began to learn about computers in high school where we were required to take computer classes. At school was the only place I was able to interact with computers since my family did not feel it was necessary to have one at home. While in undergraduate school, I was introduced to Smart Boards. Everyday we were required to sign in on the Smart Board. We were also required to present to the class on the board. The reason for this was to get acquainted with the "newest" technology to our area. My personal opinion on technology is, we may benefit from it but it may also hurt us. Yes, it can benefit us teachers in the classroom by providing our students with opportunities but on the other hand look at all of the jobs lost due to technology. I know with the community I am part of and the surrounding communities, many families do not have enough money to afford these technologies. Also, just like my parents, computers meant nothing to them so why would they buy one? Overall, I think technology is very beneficial and in the classroom can provide the teacher and students with many opportunities.
I agree with your thoughts Casie, especially the part about being a young teacher and having the knowledge about how to use the technology doesn't necessarily ensure that you will use it. I especially think that this is true when inferior technology is used. For example, my school has several Mimeo's. Not that there is anything wrong with using a mimeo, and I am certain that it is a powerful tool that has many uses that I have not utilized, but the fact still remains that I used to have a smartboard...and using a mimeo compared to a smartboard is like brushing your teeth with a stick (at least to me). The problem might partly revolve around uninformed and older teachers that do not know how to use the technology, but also might be enhance by the fact that the technology is not always as easy to use as the "old way."

In recognition of the National Police Shooting Championship's 50th Anniversary, we take a look at the first overall champ ... Ohio's Larry Mead.
Making his way through the local, state and federal competitors was Columbus Police Department's Larry Mead.
"When the NRA began its championships, I and some other officers got Columbus PD to enter," said Mead. "Guess that was a good idea."
His first and only NPSC title, Mead registered a score of 1101-16x. Part of the credit went to the reliability of his .38 Special Smith & Wesson K-frame revolver and part went to the skill of the man. Both, claim Mead, are no longer in championship shape.
"I am using a Ruger Vaquero in .357 Magnum now," said Mead. "Of course, the sights are getting harder to see."

For a free newspaper, I think it is great. Sometimes I do get bored of reading some articles, as they have appeared in the Standard the evening before, but you can't complain when it's free.
A morning commute needs a metro, especially when it takes you over 90 minutes to get to work, the Metro ends up being a lifesaver. The quality of the articles aren't bad, although you do come across some errors.
Overall a good read first thing in the morning.

Welcome to the York 912 Patriots Web Site! We are a group of concerned citizens eager to bring sanity back to the government through education of the citizens, organization of events, and teaching how to campaign for office. Our overall goal is to help remind our representatives who they serve. For far too long, our career politicians answered to those in Harrisburg and Washington. Over the past 5 years, our group, as well as many others across this great nation, have forced supposed conservative politicians to return to their rightful place, and to represent us according to their original stated platforms. We've also given average citizens a platform to speak their minds and to realize their voices. This has led to many running for state and local offices. While we have not won every battle, we are holding strong to the idea that each one of us can make a difference. Please join our efforts and become part of something larger than yourself. Together, we will stand for values and principles that will be necessary for our children to have a brighter future than ours!

Manchester, Hooksett working to resolve school contract issues
"I would classify the sessions as being productive, I am hopeful that this will result in a better result for both parties than going to court. But it is still too early to tell, however, if the relationship between the two sides has been healed at all," Korkosz said.
Both towns have allowed some parents to leave the Manchester district, but the Hooksett School Board has authorized a far greater number to leave. This has prompted the district to file an injunction against Hooksett, accusing it of violating the contract, which calls on the towns to send "all" their students to the district.
Korkosz said Hooksett's breach of contract claim against Manchester is also on the table for discussion.
She said that more information would be given to the public during the next Hooksett School Board meeting on July 30.

could) and food was excellent, provided that one has to be aware of the fact that food in
oriental places smells and tastes different from, say, European (or Western) style. The
bathing in the sea and in the pool was okay, except that the water temperature was too
high to me. Many praises go to ``les animateurs'' who were around the whole day every day
and tried to do everything to entertain people, although I didn't participate in animation.
Well, ``pour les animateurs'', I have an advice: I believe they can diversify the musical
background much more. Otherwise, they were very lively, kind and not too intrusive, as most
of the locals are in general, except in the ``souks'' where the normal way of doing commerce
is yelling at the customers and trying to sell them anything, even by pulling them by hands.
I even liked the multitude of sparrows flashing everywhere: they obviuosly live on guests'
leftovers and drink pool water, which is probably disgusting to most of the people but I had
no problem with this. And yes, there are also some unpleasant circumstances: everybody, both
guests and locals, smoked WAY TOO MUCH, the guests (not the locals) also drank a lot of
alcohol so one could smell both substances in the air, especially in the evening.
As somebody had already put it, it's not good to be too fussy there. Yet, I have to tell
something about a very unpleasant event which occurred there in July '06. We were spending
our holidays in the hotel with three young teenagers, our son and two of his friends. One
day in the morning, one of son's friends took a glass of juice from the machine in the
restaurant and hung there for a few more seconds than usual. I was observing all days that
this is nothing abnormal, but it seemed that a guy who had stood nearby didn't like it
and approached our young friend with kind of expressing a threat. I'll call this guy
``El Toro'' because he was wearing a T-shirt with a bull's silhouette (sorry for this abuse
of your national symbol, Spaniards, it's just a temporary nickname of this guy who is NOT
a Spaniard). Besides, he must be in his fifties with his remarkable tuft of grey hair.
Well, our friend quickly got away and sat down at the table. Later the other friend of
our son's intended to go to the hotel reception. He was followed by ``El Toro'' who
struck him in the head for no reason. Our friend fell on the floor but, fortunately, he was
not harmed. Then, he quickly went to the reception to give notice of what happened. I came
there soon after, however, I couldn't see what happened because I was not present during
previous minutes.
As I was told by our three teenagers, the waiters in the restaurant as well as security
guys watched everything, but they were indifferent or even giggled at the whole thing.
I then tried to settle this stuff at the reception, but to no avail. I asked for the
police to come to the hotel because ``El Toro'', an adult, made an assault upon
a non-adult teenager, but the hotel staff concocted all kinds of pretexts: that they would
call the police, that they were looking for a person for translating, then asked me if
I really wanted to go to the police and denounce ``El Toro''; and in the end, they
directly tried to dissuade me from having contact with the police. I later heard from
``El Toro'' that he was grumbling something about ``let's go out and settle this thing as
men do among themselves'' (?!). What? So, I cannot denounce this kind of violent people?
I tried to do something that day and the day after, and in the end I met with a travel
agency representative (not mine, but some other agency) who kindly explained to me how
the police affairs go in Tunisia. And again, he strongly advised me not to have anything
to do with the police because this would be a terrible stuff.
Now what? It's clear that the hotel security personnel didn't do their job, and I was
obviously unsuccessful in my pursuit of safety for my people. I tried to obtain some
info about ``El Toro'', but it would not be given to me, because officially, one cannot
get personal data about another person at will. All I know is that ``El Toro'' came to
the hotel by the ``Columbus'' travel agency of the ``Gruppo Ventaglio'' but this didn't
help me much. Luckily, ``El Toro'' was seen around only a day or two after the incident,
as he apparently left the hotel soon. He was seen mostly in one bar or another and
drinking, so it's likely that he was drunk at the time of the incident.
In the end, I can only write this story down and put it somewhere on the Internet, and
the majority of e-surfers won't believe it. I still think that the hotel staff didn't
quite excel when doing their job. Although it's ``El Toro''s responsibility for the
whole stuff, the hotel guys (and girls) simply didn't do what they had to do. If this
text is going to be read by somebody of ``Columbus'' agency, I'd just like to warn
them about strange troublemakers that travel around with them. I will not disclose
any further info about us or ``El Toro'' due to the sake of privacy, except that we
are from Europe and ``El Toro''---you guessed it---is from Europe.
BTW, I'd like to express thanks to our young excursion guide whose name is Adel (or
Adil, I don't remember very well). He can be a good example for everybody how the job
must be taken seriously, with expertise, and without being too formal. After our
visit to the weekly fair in Nabeul, he abruptly left (probably because of some other
business) and I couldn't even say thanks or goodbye to him. So, I hope he will read this.
Also, I can say thanks to the agency representative whom I talked about the incident,
as he was very helpful on other occasions, too, when the representative of our agency
was nowhere around.

Top Local Tips for Borj Cedria
Be prepared to haggle Be prepared to stand your ground with the taxi drivers. There are trains from Tunis to Borj Cdria about every 20 minutes from 4.20am through to the following 1.00am. And from Borj Cedria to Tunis 4.00am to 12.40 am. We piad $25 (about £12.50 from the arport to the hotel and about 45 Dinar from the hotel to the airport. The trip by train would have been around 8 dinar (for 3 adults) Some taxi drivers were unwilng to take us to the hotel and so we had to be persistant in asking. If you go by train to the hotel late at night you would be advised to get the hotel to arrange a taxi to meet you there or a 20 minute walk awaits!
Do not chose Caribbean or Stay away from this hotel
Airports and Transfers If possible when going to this resort, fly into Tunis Carthage Airport as the transfer time is a lot shorter than if you fly into Monistir. It takes around 45 minutes from Tunis, but nearly 4 hours from Monistir.

The Intro to Photography class is produced by Monte Zucker Photographic Education (MZPE), which provides quality professional photographic instruction. More than 30,000 enthusiastic students of all levels have attended their photographic tours on three continents over the past seven years to learn how to combine the power of technical expertise and artistic vision to create beautiful photos and films. In addition to offering the tours, MZPE produces instructional books and DVDs, as well as teaching in-depth photo-master classes around the world. The 2002 United Nations Photographer of the Year, celebrated photographer and mentor Monte Zucker once stated, "I don't photograph the world as it is. I photograph the world as I would like it to be." Continuing on in his memory, current instructor Bob Ray teaches with an entertaining, passionate presentation that focuses on learning immediately in class. The experience provides an aspiring photographer a comprehensive set of tools to reach his or her artistic potential.
Arthur Murray has been a leading name in franchise dance since 1912, when the entrepreneur began selling mail-order dance lessons. Expanding his reach, he enlisted teachers to spread his signature dance lessons on first-class steamships and skyrocketed to fame in the '30s after introducing the public to such dances as the Lambeth Walk and the Big Apple. By the 1950s, Arthur and his wife, Kathryn, were hosting their own highly popular TV show on ABC, the Arthur Murray Dance Party, which ran for 12 years. Today, Arthur Murray's team prepares students for rug cutting at special events and weekend nightclub jaunts. Clients who arrive to lessons partnerless will be paired up with other classmates as the instructors assess their current skill level and make recommendations on the most appropriate program. Throughout lessons, instructors teach the foundations of two to four dances from a long list of styles that range from Latin to country-western, helping students to learn basic step patterns, timing, and the ability to lead or follow.
Theatre Harrisburg has always had community at its heart. Born in the "Little Theatre Movement" of the 1920s, the first place it called home was the basement of the Harrisburg Public Library. It was there that Mrs. Peters, president of the Women's University Club, gathered nine other women to discuss the creation of a volunteer-based company that could produce quality plays. And the women took action. For decades volunteers on and off the stage bounced from venue to venue putting on shows such as The Dover Road, until 1950, when it found its first home at Sixth and Hurlock in uptown. Then, in 1997, the Theatre made a commitment to be the resident company at the new Whitaker Center. Still, whether putting musicals such as The Rocky Horror Show or non-musical dramas, such as a version of Death of a Salesman with all the tap numbers taken out, Theatre Harrisburg relies on the talent of the community.
Bearing the titles of Master of Photography and Photographic Craftsman from Professional Photographers of America, David and Ally McKay embody the keen vision and aesthetic prowess that separated good photographers from great ones. They share these skills during classes at McKay Photography Academy, where they train eyes, fingers, and imaginations to work in tandem as a snapshooting dream machine. Their classes help aspiring photographers progress from neophytes to seasoned pros. When not busy instructing the next generation of shutterbugs, David and Ally also devise photo safaris, which send small teams of photographers to capture shots of famed landmarks including San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge; the Lincoln Memorial of Washington, DC; or Yosemite's 60-foot statue of Yogi Bear.
Just Plain Yoga wants its visitors to find the perfect fit when it comes to yoga technique. They offer a questionnaire to identify the right class for each student, based on how rapidly or slowly they want to move, as well as whether they want to achieve relaxation, increase flexibility, or build strength in your third eyelash. The studio offers 11 different styles for intrepid yogis, including gentle hatha sessions that link breath to body, and morning vinyasa flow to jump-start the day. Hesitant first-timers are especially invited to the ?yoga for any body? class, a gentle, welcoming class for anyone who thinks they are too inflexible or overweight to do yoga.

They have been lying about
They have been lying about this every day for months now just like every other network.
...and all other stories
What they do is programming. They program US.
Their entire purpose is to lie to US, to keep us in the dark, to keep us scared, to keep us divided.
They NEVER tell the truth about anything, it goes against their purpose.
PsyOps. It's been going on
PsyOps. It's been going on over mass-media since at least WWII. It's not even a secret.
The massive global control system is not a secret. It is all documented and is easy to verify if we have an open mind.
It's only a secret to all the people who don't really want to know.

Topic Outline
Popliteal artery aneurysm (figure 1) presents in a variety of ways. Many patients are asymptomatic, while others have symptoms referable to the aneurysm such as pain with ambulation (claudication) or acute limb ischemia due to aneurysm thrombosis or distal embolization [1-3]. When popliteal aneurysm repair is indicated, an open surgical or endovascular approach can be used. The choice of repair depends upon the clinical presentation, anatomic factors, and patient comorbidities.
The approach to popliteal artery aneurysm repair, perioperative care, complications of repair, and surgical outcomes will be reviewed here. The diagnosis and nonsurgical management of popliteal artery aneurysm are discussed elsewhere. (See "Popliteal artery aneurysm".)
Surgical or endovascular repair for popliteal aneurysms is indicated under the following circumstances:
●Symptomatic (eg acute limb ischemia, disabling claudication) popliteal aneurysm of any size
●Selected asymptomatic popliteal aneurysm (patent) depending upon size and presence of thrombus

They are telling us to ignore the prior attempted criminal act, because it doesn't factor into the equation. Here is their argument in a nutshell:
After the first shot to the head, the perp was not a threat to commit any crime or hurt anyone.....therefore the follow-up shots to the chest were murder. The original acts of the perp don't matter in any way.
If these folks are being consistent in their arguments, then it shouldn't matter if the perp was caught in the act of robbery, murder, rape or child molestation. The perp is unarmed, defenseless, and incapable of harming anyone. The "facts of the case" against the cashier don't change.

Man shot in head; police search for gunman
Nashua police say a 22-year-old man is in critical but stable condition after being shot in the head.
Officers were called to 6 Rochette Ave. on Thursday shortly before 9 p.m. The victim was found unconscious outside, and was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital before being flown to Boston Medical Center.
Investigators said they were searching for two or three Hispanic males who were seen running from the area, but police were not calling them suspects. They said the attack did not appear to be random.
Officers spoke to residents in the area overnight. People in the neighborhood were asked to report anything that seems out of the ordinary, including any discarded items they may find in their yards.

The latest version of Pennsylvania liquor reform is a beer distributor's dream. Want to add wine and spirits to the inventory? Go ahead. Just want wine? That's OK, too; the license for hard liquor will be held in abeyance in case the beer distributor has a change of heart.
Under an amended liquor privatization plan that could come up for a vote as early as today, beer distributors get all sorts of advantages over other private merchants looking to obtain any of the state's proposed 1,200 retail wine and spirits licenses. And consumers would be left with not as much convenience as they deserve.
First, the 1,138 beer distributors get first crack at the licenses. They have 12 months to apply, and only after that would the option open up for others.
Second, the rates that distributors would pay for a license are a fraction of what it would cost other businesses. For instance, a beer distributor in Allegheny County would pay $82,500 for a wine and spirits license, but another applicant would be charged $397,500. And only beer distributors would be eligible for four-year financing from the state by paying a 5 percent fee.
Third, the beer distributors would continue to be insulated from competition on selling beer. Although grocery stores could get licenses to sell wine, their ability to sell beer would be restricted, as it is now, to separate registers in a cafe section of the market.
Lawmakers were wrong to think the bill would be a slam-dunk if they kowtowed to the state's beer distributors. The trade associations that represent them still don't like the legislation. Why? The groups want to keep things just as they are, which is why they've been among the impediments to reform for a long time.
The sad thing about House Bill 790 — amended from the better plan proposed by Gov. Tom Corbett — is that the liquor system it would deliver is an improvement over what Pennsylvania has today. Although the movement away from state-owned, state-operated stores would be too gradual and slow, at least it would eventually get the state out of the wholesale and retail alcohol business. In other words, things would be worse if nothing changes.
That may be a weak argument for urging the House to pass the measure, but advancing the legislation would mean the Senate could start making significant repairs to this necessary reform. And Gov. Corbett should put his muscle behind that.

When it comes to images, the digital world values clarity, but in the art world — both old and new — sometimes blurry is better. "Winslow Homer: Illustrator and Graphic Artist" offers a survey of woodcuts and etchings by the 19th-century American artist whose career straddles the line between commercial and fine art. Most of the exhibit is comprised of illustrations from Harper's Weekly — on a tremendous range of themes, from Civil War to opium dens, from farm life to high society. While often excised from his paintings, Homer's humor is most apparent in his woodcuts — the lesser in the hierarchy of the art forms. For instance, he engages his audience in a game of "Where's Winslow?" by often incorporating his initials in the images — in one, a woman writes them with her umbrella in the sand; in another, they grace the ankles of a pair of women's boots. While his career blurred lines, the woodcuts and etchings are exacting, accomplished in fine, detailed lines and crosshatching. At the other end of the spectrum is "Seton Smith: New Work," large, contemporary photography whose blurriness breaks down boundaries — personal, physical, and psychological. Their scale pulls you into their spaces. Without a sharp focus, Lamp diffuses its light as if through a light fog, creating a dreamy space that rouses the subconscious. In Cabinet Black Vases, the fuzziness focuses attention on the artistic elements of composition rather than on the literal level of the subject matter.

Eastern US Braces For Dangerous Superstorm
Forecasters said that because of giant waves and high tides made worse by a full moon, the metropolitan area of about 20 million people could get hit with an 11-foot wall of water.
"This is the worst-case scenario," Uccellini said.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg warned: "If you don't evacuate, you are not only endangering your life, you are also endangering the lives of the first responders who are going in to rescue you. This is a serious and dangerous storm."
New Jersey's famously blunt Gov. Chris Christie was less polite: "Don't be stupid. Get out."New York called off school Monday for the city's 1.1 million students and announced it would suspend all train, bus and subway service Sunday night. More than 5 million riders a day depend on the transit system. The New York Stock Exchange announced it will shut down its trading floor Monday but continue to trade electronically. Officials also postponed Monday's reopening of the Statue of Liberty, which had been closed for a year for $30 million in renovations. In Washington, President Barack Obama promised the government would "respond big and respond fast" after the storm hits. "My message to the governors as well as to the mayors is anything they need, we will be there, and we will cut through red tape. We are not going to get bogged down with a lot of rules," he said. He also pleaded for neighborliness: "In times like this, one of the things that Americans do is we pull together and we help out one another And so, there may be elderly populations in your area. Check on your neighbor, check on your friend. Make sure that they are prepared. If we do, then we're going to get through this storm just fine." The storm forced the president and Mitt Romney to rearrange their campaign schedules in the crucial closing days of the presidential race. And early voting on Monday in Maryland was canceled.

Drill Size, Drill Power
Cordless Drill Features
As you sort through the available options, keep in mind the old saying: "You aren't buying a drill, you're buying a hole." So answer the following before making your selection: How often will you use the drill? How wide and how deep do you want the holes to be? What kind of materials will you be drilling into? What size screws will you be driving, and into which materials? How much power do you need to make all this happen?
Drill Size.A cordless drill's size is denoted by the largest size bit it can hold; the bit is held in place and rotated by the chuck. Cheap cordless drills that are useful for a variety of home maintenance chores and DIY projects come in two standard sizes: 3/8" and 1/2", and the specs will say something like 3/8" chuck or 1/2" chuck.
Snow Blowers
Older drills need a type of key to unlock the chuck to change the bits. Newer models, including all the cordless drills we researched, are keyless -- you can open and close the chuck with your free hand, or, depending on the model, with the handle trigger. Occasionally the chuck on a cheap drill wears out; eHow provides instructions for replacing the chuck instead of buying a new drill.
Drill Power.The denser the material you're drilling or driving into, the more power you'll need. Higher voltage drills generally produce more torque. So, if you need to drill one medium-sized hole or drive a lot of little screws in material like drywall, a small 12V cordless drill like the Porter-Cable PCL120DDC-2 or Ryobi HJP002K should do the trick; the Bosch PS21-2A Pocket Driver (starting at $105) also works well for quick and easy jobs. But if you're building a deck or a tree house, you'd be better off with a more powerful drill. An inexpensive 14.4V or 16V cordless model might suffice, but most knowledgeable DIY-ers turn to 18V drills like the Ryobi P815, Craftsman 17310, or Hitachi DS18VF3 (starting at $116). Back to top »

I am 3 days post-op after a face and neck lift. I know there is still a lot of swelling and that much of it will resolve itself. However, my lower face looks so wide in comparison to my upper face and the SMAS area is quite numb. Is there typically a lot of swelling in the SMAS area near the ears?
Swelling in SMAS area after facelift?
Doctor Answers (6)
Swelling especially in the cheek areas very common after SMAS facelift
In particular SMAS plication can often have accentuated swelling in the cheek area. This almost always resumes to normal after a few weeks.

Swelling and SMAS
At a few days after sugery, swelling is normal and will subside over time. Be patient with the swelling.
Swelling after face/neck lift
Swelling is typically at the worst around 2-3 days after surgery. Since your face/neck lift was 3 days ago, you are probably seeing your swelling at the peak. It is not unusual to have some numbness as well. Both of these issues should improve with more time, but it can take 6-12 months for all of the healing to occur. If you have any concerns, I would recommend contacting your surgeon to be evaluated.

Weaning & using stash
|Sun, 04-17-2011 - 12:13am
So I know I'm only 4 weeks pp and already considering giving up this whole pumping nonsense, but even though I'm losing my mind most days I just can't bring myself to stop pumping yet.
|Sun, 04-17-2011 - 3:52pm
In my opinion, it's better to give some bm every day for as long as possible. Breastmilk contains all sorts of antibodies (a percentage of which go away when it is frozen, but some stay) so if I were you, I"d stretch out the stash so baby can get some antibodies every day. I know what you mean about feeling like you're losing your mind. Before you quit, if you are going to have to supplement with formula anyway, could you save your sanity by reducing your number of pumps? Just an idea--sanity is important! Good luck with whatever you choose!
|Thu, 04-21-2011 - 4:52pm
Great job so far! As you're planning your stash, remember that in a regular freezer BM is good 3-4 months, and 6-12 in chest freezer. You might have already known that, but I thought I'd mention it since you're planning on doing some long-term freezing. Setting small and manageable goals is the way to go!
