Isao Tomita (冨田 勲 Tomita Isao?, born April 22, 1932), often known simply as Tomita, is a Japanese music composer, regarded as one of the pioneers of electronic music[1][2] and space music,[3] and as one of the most famous producers of analog synthesizer arrangements.[4] In addition to creating note-by-note realizations, Tomita made extensive use of the sound design capabilities of his instrument, using synthesizers to create new sounds to accompany and enhance his electronic realizations of acoustic instruments.[4] He also made effective use of analog music sequencers[1] and featured futuristic science fiction themes,[2] while laying the foundations for synth-pop music[5] and trance-like rhythms.[6] He also received four Grammy Award nominations for his album Snowflakes are Dancing in 1974.[2]
Tomita was born in Tokyo and spent his early childhood with his father in China. After returning to Japan, he took private lessons in orchestration and composition while an art history student at Keio University, Tokyo. He graduated in 1955 and became a full-time composer for television, film and theatre. He composed the theme music for the Japanese Olympic gymnastics team for the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia.
In 1965, he composed the theme song and incidental music for Osamu Tezuka's television animated series Jangaru Taitei (Jungle Emperor), released in the United States as Kimba the White Lion (with a different theme by Bernie Baum, Bill Giant and Florence Kaye). In 1966 he wrote a tone poem based on this music with an original video animation synchronized to the tone poem released in 1991. Isao Tomita and Kunio Miyauchi also created the music for the tokusatsu science fiction/espionage/action television series Mighty Jack, which aired in 1968. The same year, he co-founded Group TAC.[7]
By the late 1960s, Isao turned to electronic music with the impetus of Wendy Carlos and Robert Moog's work with synthesizers. Isao acquired a Moog III synthesizer and began building his home studio. He eventually realized that synthesizers could be used to create entirely new sounds in addition to mimicking other instruments.[4] His first electronic album was Electric Samurai: Switched on Rock, released in Japan in 1972 and in the United States in 1974. The album featured electronic renditions of contemporary rock and pop songs, while utilizing speech synthesis in place of a human voice. He then started arranging Claude Debussy's impressionist pieces for synthesizer and, in 1974, the album Snowflakes are Dancing was released; it became a worldwide success and was responsible for popularizing several aspects of synthesizer programming. The album's contents included ambience, realistic string simulations; an early attempt to synthesize the sound of a symphony orchestra; whistles, and abstract bell-like sounds, as well as a number of processing effects including: reverberation, phase-shifting, flanging, and ring modulation. Quadrophonic versions of the album provided a spatial audio effect using four speakers.[1] A particularly significant achievement was its polyphonic sound, created prior to the era of polyphonic synthesizers. Tomita created the album's polyphonic as Carlos had done before him, with the use of multitrack recording, recording each voice of a piece one at a time, on a separate tape track, and then mixing the result to stereo or quad. It took 14 months to produce the album.[8] In his early albums, he also made effective use of analog music sequencers, which he used for repeated pitch, filter or effects changes.[1] Tomita's modular human whistle sounds would also be copied in the presets of later electronic instruments.[9] His version of "Arabesque No. 1" was later used as the theme to the astronomy television series Jack Horkheimer: Star Gazer (originally titled Star Hustler) seen on most PBS stations; in Japan, parts of his version of "Rêverie" were used for the opening and closing of Fuji TV's transmissions.
Following the success of Snowflakes Are Dancing, Tomita released a number of "classically" themed albums, including arrangements of: Igor Stravinsky's The Firebird, Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, and Gustav Holst's The Planets. Holst: The Planets introduced a science fiction "space theme"[2] This album sparked controversy on its release, as Imogen Holst, daughter of Gustav Holst, refused permission for her father's work to be interpreted in this way. The album was withdrawn, and is, consequently, rare in its original vinyl form.
While working on his classical synthesizer albums, Tomita also composed numerous scores for Japanese television and films, including the Zatoichi television series, two Zatoichi feature films, the Oshi Samurai (Mute Samurai) television series and the Toho science fiction disaster film, Catastrophe 1999, The Prophesies of Nostradamus (U.S. title: Last Days of Planet Earth) in 1974. The latter blends synthesizer performances with pop-rock and orchestral instruments. It and a few other partial and complete scores of the period have been released on LP and later CD over the years in Japan. While not bootlegs, at least some of these releases were issued by film and television production companies without Tomita's artistic approval.
In 1984, Tomita released Canon of the Three Stars, which featured classical pieces renamed for astronomical objects. For example, the title piece is his version of Pachelbel's Canon in D Major. He credits himself with "The Plasma Symphony Orchestra", which was a computer synthesizer process using the wave forms of electromagnetic emanations from various stars and constellations for the sonic textures of this album.
Tomita has performed a number of outdoor "Sound Cloud" concerts, with speakers surrounding the audience in a "cloud of sound". He gave a big concert in 1984 at the annual contemporary music Ars Electronica festival in Linz, Austria called "Mind of the Universe", mixing tracks live in a glass pyramid suspended over an audience of 80,000 people. He performed another concert in New York two years later to celebrate the Statue of Liberty centennial ("Back to the Earth") as well as one in Sydney in 1988 for Australia's bicentennial. The Australian performance was part of a A$7 million gift from Japan to New South Wales, which included the largest fireworks display up to that time, six fixed sound and lighting systems — one of those on a moored barge in the centre of a bay, the other flown in by Chinook helicopter — for the relevant parts of the show. A fleet of barges with Japanese cultural performances, including kabuki fire drumming, passed by at various times. His most recent Sound Cloud event was in Nagoya, Japan in 1997 featuring guest performances by The Manhattan Transfer, Ray Charles, Dionne Warwick, and Rick Wakeman.
In the late 1990s, he composed a symphonic fantasy for orchestra amd synthesizer titled The Tale of Genji, inspired by the eponymous old Japanese story. It was performed by symphony orchestras in Tokyo, Los Angeles, and London. A live concert CD version was released in 1999 followed by a studio version in 2000.
In 2001, Tomita collaborated with Walt Disney Company to compose the background atmosphere music for the AquaSphere entrance at the Tokyo DisneySea theme park outside Tokyo.
His synthesizer score featuring acoustic soloists for the 2002 film The Twilight Samurai (たそがれ清兵衛 Tasogare Seibei?) won the 2003 Japanese Academy Award for Outstanding Achievement in Music.
The advent of the DVD-Audio format has allowed Tomita to further pursue his interests in multichannel audio with reworked releases of The Tale of Genji Symphonic Fantasy and The Tomita Planets 2003.
In 2008, his Snowflakes are Dancing played in the background at the Disney World Resort, Epcot, World Showcase, Japan, Bijutzu-kan Gallery.

How to Clean Leeks
Leeks are one of my favorite ingredients to add to winter soups and risottos. I love that they have an onion-y taste, but are just different enough to change a dish.
The only problem is that they can be a pain to wash. Here are the steps to follow for clean, grit-free leeks:
1. Cut off the dark green leaves and discard.
2. Cut the stalk of the leek in half lengthwise.
3. Slice the halves into pieces at the width called for in the recipe.
4. Fill a bowl with cold water and place the cut leeks inside.
5. Swish the leeks around to remove the dirt.
6. Remove leeks with your hands—the grit will stay in the water.
7. Repeat with fresh water until the water remains clear.
What's your favorite way to cook with leeks? Here are a few suggestions: Linguine with Artichokes and Leeks, Poached Scallops with Leeks and Carrots, Creamy Mashed Potato and Leek Soup, Potato and Leek Flat Bread with Greens.

SME Audit - Views of IFAC Small and Medium Practices Committee
Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, friends and colleagues, good afternoon. Before I begin I would just like to say what a pleasure it is for me to be asked by FEE and AMA (Mediterranean Association of Auditors) to present the activities and views of the IFAC Small and Medium Practices (SMP) Committee today. For the benefit of those not familiar with the SMP Committee a few words of introduction.
The SMP Committee started life as a Working Group of the IFAC Board in 2000. Under the chairmanship of my countryman Angelo Casas it quickly progressed to being a task force, then a permanent task force, and, in January of this year, a full standing committee of IFAC. On its promotion to being a committee, Sylvie Voghel took over the reins. Our vital statistics read as follows: 18 members from 17 countries, 6 from the EU; a full time technical manager; an annual forum; and an ambitious and expanding work program centered on inputting to standard-setting - accounting, education, ethics, but most especially audit - and providing practical support to SMPs.

NEW YORK (AP) - Two New York City police officers overcome by smoke while responding to a suspicious fire on Coney Island remain hospitalized in critical condition.
Officers Rosa Rodriguez and Dennis Guerra were found unconscious and unresponsive Sunday afternoon in the hallway on the 13th floor of a residential building.
The 36-year-old Rodriguez is in Weill Cornell Medical Center in Manhattan. The 38-year-old Guerra was taken to Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx.
Police Commissioner William Bratton says both officers suffered carbon monoxide poisoning and the effects of smoke inhalation.
Police say a suspect is in custody, but no charges were immediately filed.
No other information on the suspect or how the fire started was immediately available.
Police and fire officials say the fire has been deemed suspicious.

Fuel standards applauded by National Biodiesel Board
Posted onThe Environmental Protection Agency received accolades recently from the National Biodiesel Board for reminding the petroleum industry about requirements mandated by the 2009 Renewable Fuel Standards.
The standards require a total of 500 million gallons of biomass-based diesel to meet the total mandate of 11.1 billion gallons of renewable fuel next year.
"Biodiesel is a proven alternative that is ready now," said Joe Jobe, CEO of the NBB, in a statement. "With the highest energy balance of any renewable fuel, its growing economic impact of creating new 'green' jobs and an alternative that brings the U.S. closer to energy independence, biodiesel is the logical renewable fuel to look towards in the future."

I have a Rain Soft system and the Stenner Pump does not seem to be drawing water from the chlorine tank. I have taking it apart and made sure there were no clogs but it still doens't seem to suck up the water. How do I know if the tube needs replacing or if it's a cam issue? The pump works fine I just don't know how to get it to draw up the chlorinated water. |
Follow-Up Postings:
HI, this is justin with Pentair Aquatic's, centavo25, your issue is the roller assembly is not expanding. you can pull the cover off and flip it up side down and do a counter clock wise turn. only while the cover is rotated clockwise as well, unlatched. after its expanded it should stay that way. it has to be expanded in order to suck water through it. I hope this helps |

Zynga revamps hit 'Words With Friends' game
Pioneering social games maker Zynga on Thursday launched a new version of "Words With Friends" as the company strives to regain its footing in the mobile device age.
Pioneering social games maker Zynga on Thursday launched a new version of "Words With Friends" as the company strives to regain its footing in the mobile device age.
Zynga said Thursday it wants to perform better, as the social games firm reported losses widened and revenues sank in the past quarter, sending its share price tumbling.
Online game maker Zynga says company founder Mark Pincus is stepping down as chief product officer, less than a year after he was replaced as the company's CEO.
Zynga announced Thursday it was buying mobile game and animation firm NaturalMotion for $527 million in a fresh reboot effort for the struggling social games pioneer.
Zynga says it is laying off 314 employees, about 15 percent of its workforce, as the game maker's fourth-quarter sales plummet.
The virtual currency Bitcoin jumped back over $1,000 Monday after online gaming company Zynga began a test operation to accept Bitcoin in some of its games.
Facebook games pioneer Zynga on Wednesday said it was expanding its casino-style offerings with an "Elite Slots" title that weaves social and story elements with luck-based play.
Zynga announced Friday its acquisition of the team at startup November Software as part of a move into "mid-core" games with more staying power than passing fad casual titles.
Zynga on Thursday launched a 3-D version of "CityVille," adding a new dimension as well as a mystery storyline in a sequel to the online social game.
(AP)—Jeff Karp, the chief marketing and chief revenue officer at Zynga, has become the latest executive to leave the struggling online company behind "FarmVille" and other games.
Another top Zynga executive has cashed in his chips as the social games company behind "Zynga Poker" and "Farmville" strives to improve its fortunes after a losing fiscal quarter.
(AP) Mark Pincus the other Mark of Silicon Valley helped usher in the Facebook era with catchy games that got people clicking on virtual cows and building virtual cities while staying ...
Social games star Zynga on Tuesday celebrated its fifth birthday a week early with a peek at a platform designed to let people play with each other no matter what gadgets they use.
(AP) Zynga is starting to show ads from Facebook on Zynga.com, its stand-alone website that lets people play its online games away from Facebook.

I couldn't resist trying my hand at this week's Stampendous Blog Challenge #41. My friend, Wendy Price drew the sketch that you can find just by clicking on the link. For my card I used Basic Grey Sweet Threads collection. I found some old Making Memories Epoxy Stickers and simply stuck them over interesting designs I found on the Basic Grey papers. The double borders are Tim Holtz Sizzix dies. Together sentiment is from the Stampendous Friendship Assortment clear set.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Tiger!
Facts about Tiger
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Tiger's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Tiger is a big orange and white boy who loves to be petted. He is around 4 yrs. old and ready for a forever home.
Other Pets at Another Chance Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tiger, a N. Berwick Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in N. Berwick, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in N. Berwick.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in N. Berwick already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a N. Berwick breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in N. Berwick paves the way for another one to be saved.

Yesterday Bob McKenzie tweeted out some news about the Buffalo Sabres – it looks like they're going to give interim coach Ted Nolan three more seasons.
Ted Nolan's three-year contract extension with BUF in hands of lawyers. Contract language still being finalized. Not "done" quite yet.
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) March 17, 2014
While I can't claim to have a vast reservoir of experience under Ted Nolan, I think I can offer a little more insight into the type of coach he is than most, thanks to 10 FULL DAYS (wowee!) at Islanders camp before I got the boot. I don't have hands-on experience with what sort of in-game systematic adjustments he makes, but I did know a good amount of Islanders players well enough to get some second hand information.
Armed with that knowledge, and with all due respect, I think they better surround him with some good assistant coaching. Read the rest of this entry »

The Other Side of the "Almost Termination"
I'm writing this post on a plane next to Jerry Hurley, our pastor of team development. Jerry leads a team that hires, trains, and develops our whole staff.
We were talking about how many of our star staff members almost didn't make the cut at some point or another.
I remember during my first ministry role at First United Methodist Church in Oklahoma City, several people on the board decided that I was the wrong fit for the job. They told me plainly that I wasn't likely to remain in that role.
Around the same time, leaders of the denominational ordination committee sincerely questioned my "call" to ministry. After several difficult conversations, God planted a deep resolve in my heart to humble myself, become teachable, and do whatever it took to please God–even if it meant losing my job.
Something inside me changed. I was no longer trying to prove myself and keep my job, I was trying to please God and fulfill His calling. On the other side of these rough spots, I had the opportunity to do more effective ministry at FUMC than I did before.
When a person faces one of his or her greatest fears of being terminated, sometimes the best ministry is still on the other side.

In "Building Bridges," a Tapestry of Faith program
Participants hear and discuss the story of the Peoples Temple and discuss abuse.
Read the story aloud.
Ask for initial reactions. What did youth think of the story? Had they heard of the tragedy at Jonestown before? Acknowledge that this story is frightening and that the Peoples Temple is an extreme case. It is the largest, though not the only, example of a United States cult resulting in suicides. However, most cult memberships do not end in death.
Continue to discuss the story by asking questions such as these:
Distribute Handout 2, Behavior of Abusers, and give participants time to look it over. Ask:
Let participants know that if they should find themselves in an abusive relationship, there are places and people who can help. On newsprint, post the number for your local abuse hotline. Note that there are also organizations that help people involved with cults. Remind the youth that when they are in an uncomfortable situation—or know someone else who is—there are people they can talk to. As a group, brainstorm a list of such individuals. Make sure that the list includes school guidance counselors, ministers, and religious educators.
For more information contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.

His eight CDs have proved he's an inventive recording artist, but troubadour Ben Harper lives to play on stage, where his music has always sounded warmest. For the follow-up to his ambitious 2006 double disc, Harper and his band entered a Paris studio directly from the road in an attempt to capture that heat. It worked: Lifeline thankfully favors songs over jamming, but there's a casual profundity to tunes like ''Fight Outta You'' and ''Say You Will'' that a more complicated process might've squelched. Just add applause. B+

Robins boss targets Blades scalp
The Robins' promotion bid suffered a setback when they were beaten 4-1 at West Brom last weekend. But Johnson believes they can pick up three points against a Blades side that are down in 14th place after just one win in nine Championship games. Johnson told the club's official website: "I'm surprised to see Sheffield United in the position that they are (Kevin Blackwell) does seem to use the loan system extensively. When one player goes down with an injury he brings two more in. "We all get injuries but if you lose a few games sometimes you can use that as an excuse, even with loan players. I think they've got a decent team, but then I think we have too and it's up to us to show what we can do on the day. "We can make their situation even worse for them by showing Ashton Gate is a very difficult place to come and get a result."

AT&T Corporate Center
Structure in General
- The official height was increased to from 886 feet to 1,007 feet when the CTBUH began to include ornamental spires during the Sears-Petronas height controversy.
- The lobby extends all the way through the block, connecting AT&T to the USG Building with a full-height atrium in the link between them.
- The elevator banks in the lobby are lit by flamboyant bands of neo-deco lighting extending from one wall to the other.
- At night the setbacks, finials, and spires are accented by softly colored lights.
- This is the tallest building constructed in Chicago during the last quarter of the 20th century.
- The building's mass narrows gradually with small setbacks at the 15th, 30th and 45th floors. This form of telescoping evolved into the pagoda-like form of the same architect's Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai.
- Designed by Adrian D. Smith, FAIA, RIBA Design Partner at Skidmore Owings & Merrill LLP.
- The lobby is one of the most lavish and sumptuous in Chicago, with stylized lighting fixtures and marble walls and floors in bold, brightly colored patterns.
- Tishman Speyer acquired this property in an announcement made on December 5, 2004 along with 11 other buildings including the USG Building.

Pro-Collagen Marine Cream is an exceptionally average moisturizer for normal to dry skin. The plant oils are a helpful addition and none of them are irritating, but their antioxidant potential and the potential of the algae and various plant extracts will be compromised due to jar packaging, which won't keep them stable. Calling this "revolutionary" is akin to believing the technology revolution peaked with the invention of the light bulb!
This revolutionary Anti-Ageing cream uses the Marine extract Padina Pavonica to transform the complexion in just over 2 weeks. Trials proved a 19% reduction in the appearance of wrinkle depth and up to 10% increase in hydration. Skin firmness and elasticity are dramatically increased, whilst providing superior free radical protection

Elemis products are sold at upscale department stores, such as Nordstrom, and in select spas. The company describes itself as having the most successful professional spa and anti-aging range of products in the world—quite a boast, especially considering that we've never seen Elemis listed on any review or comparison of the financial status of cosmetics companies, and we review that sort of information frequently. I'm comfortable wagering that Aveda, Darphin, Decleor, Sisley, Sothys, or even Yon-Ka have greater sales than Elemis each year, but we suppose they're hoping the fiduciary boast helps establish their credibility stateside. Even if their numbers were accurate, popularity does not necessarily equate to quality; cigarettes and getting a tan are still popular, and both are terrible for skin.
Just like every spa and salon line we've ever reviewed, Elemis uses the exact same approach to skin care that their competition does—touting the miraculous properties of essential oils and the benefits of aromatherapy. Of course, Elemis wants you to believe that their blend of nature and science is the only way to keep your skin looking young and wrinkle-free for as long as possible. As is true for many lines, Elemis has followers, and some of the customers we overheard at our local Nordstrom store were excited about this line. One woman actually commented to her husband: "Look, honey, these are the products used in that expensive spa we went to, so they must be good!" Although we really wanted to tell her that spa products and price tags have nothing to do with formulary excellence, we kept my mouth shut; we get in enough trouble at cosmetics counters as it is.
On first glance we weren't real enthused about this line, and after extensive review and researching their products, we are even less enthused, plus a bit irritated at the paucity of value represented. For the most part, this is nothing more than an average collection of products whose elitist spa positioning allows them to get away with charging an exorbitant amount of money for products that cannot possibly do what they say. Even worse, they may hurt your skin in the process due to the irritating fragrant plant extracts they contain. As expected, sun protection as part of daily skin care is given little attention (their daytime moisturizers top out at a whopping SPF 7), while there are numerous moisturizers and serums claiming to increase skin's dermal respiration, oxygenate tissues, and make inelastic, sagging skin a thing of the past. If you're the type to fall for such false promises and want plants galore, there's not much else we can say to keep you from exploring this line. But if you're skeptical and concerned chiefly with getting the best possible skin care for your needs (and dollars), then Elemis is a line you can safely and absolutely ignore (if you want to splurge there are far better options).
Falling for the Elemis spa trappings, potent fragrances, and "we're-imported-so-we're-better" philosophy won't provide your skin with the litany of ingredients it needs to function at its peak and to resist signs of aging that can be legitimately addressed with state-of-the-art products.

It may not fold up but the MiniMum Bicycle can be used effectively as a portable bike if your car can accommodate its 155-centimeter length. It's remarkably lightweight and its components are all impossibly slender. The most notable feature is the wire rope that's strung across the frame in the place of a top tube.
Otherwise, a single pipe extends from one end of the two-wheeler to another. It bends slightly at the back so that the rear tire is aligned along the center. A similar setup can be found at the front of Omer Sagiv's fixed gear bicycle where the head tube that supports the handlebars turns into a one-sided fork. The unusually basic configuration of the MiniMum Bicycle is held stiff by the tension of the top cable, considerably effective when a rider's weight is upon the seat.

Of all the strategies for reducing costs in your catalog business, vendor compliance programs may be the most underdeveloped. A well-thought-out, formal vendor compliance policy can reduce warehousing and freight costs, speed up order processing, and lead directly to increased customer satisfaction. In order to achieve this it must spell out your requirements and the charge-backs for vendors' non-compliance.
10 Tips for Implementing Vendor Compliance Policies
Without a formal vendor compliance policy, the warehouse has no recourse but to absorb both direct and hidden costs for noncompliance. Without compliance it is impossible for a merchant to implement advanced supply chain systems, ASNs, just-in-time inventory, source marking and ticketing, or RFID programs. A good vendor compliance policy will not only avoid pitfalls but will reduce the time spent dealing with vendor disputes, claims, and charge-backs.
Merchants are sometimes leery that more comprehensive accounting and charge-back policies may upset vendor relationships they've worked long and hard to develop. Besides weighing that possibility against the probability that improved vendor compliance will reduce costs and improve customer service over time, you need to consider that a well-defined document in which requirements, expectations and penalties are spelled out will ultimately remove ambiguities, end misunderstandings and result in even better vendor relationships. Anyway, if your vendors are dealing with large retail companies, they are already used to compliance policies.
Where is Vendor Compliance Needed Most?The first and most important step in developing a vendor compliance policy is to understand what's currently going on. You must analyze and agree internally on the areas of greatest concern. Two areas are almost mandatory for inclusion: on-time delivery (reducing backorders) and inbound routing guides (reducing transportation costs). Take, for example, late delivery of receipts, a major cause of backorders. Backordered merchandise costs most companies $7 to $12 per unit. This is absorbed across your business; for instance, in call center costs ("Where is my backorder?"), additional picking and packing, second outbound shipping expense, and loss of shipping and processing revenue offset. And to have vendors control shipping or not follow compliance routing is a sure way to significantly increase transportation costs.
When taking into account the cost of backorders, unacknowledged substitutions and other common vendor related problems and their impact on profitability, note that they affect many departments: operations (second and subsequent orders being picked and shipped), accounting (extra paperwork), marketing (loss of shipping and handling income), and merchandising (added time dealing with problem shipments and strained relationships).As all departments have a stake in the problems, course of action and working with vendors, establishing and monitoring vendor compliance needs to be a team effort; they should all be accountable for developing and implementing the new procedures. Once everyone recognizes the costs you have to absorb because of a lack of vendor compliance, or that you want to reduce from your operation, you can go about laying out a strategy that addresses these problem areas.
The Vendor Compliance ManualThe typical policies, requirements and charge back schedules that are included in a fully developed manual used by larger companies are outlined below. Don't let this list be daunting. A good strategy is to start out with the policies that will give you the most benefits, cost savings and efficiencies. If you develop those requirements first, you can expand the manual in later seasons to be more comprehensive.
Vendor compliance manuals typically address these elements:
Charge Backs to ConsiderAs you develop a charge back schedule that penalizes the vendors for not adhering to procedures, how do you decide what is a fair or representative charge back cost? In working with many direct businesses, F. Curtis Barry & Company has developed rates per hour used (typically anywhere from $40-$50 per man hour) or a cost per infraction, which is $100 and higher in many larger companies. Admittedly, large retailers often look at charge backs as a profit center. We want to emphasize that it's not the revenue generated that is important. Remember to stress with everyone—especially the vendors—that you'd rather have the receipts be compliant than whatever charges are levied. You may even waive charge backs where vendors are generally compliant. Whatever your policy is, you have to educate your DC staff and they have to report the non-compliance reasons and scope (problem, units effected, etc.). So make it easy for them to understand and administer.
Charge back categories used in a midsize direct merchant's fully developed compliance manual include:
The Bottom LineManaging vendor relations is an essential part of today's need for efficiency and cost control. Those direct merchants that ignore this potentially volatile aspect of their operations do so at their peril—while those with a seasoned, well-planned vendor compliance program can achieve significant savings.

War, nuclear weapons, toxic waste, government cover-ups, and family secrets – these are difficult topics to tackle. Which is exactly why Full Body Burden, by Kristen Iversen, is this year's choice for the Fort Lewis College Common Reading Experience: because it asks hard questions and doesn't offer easy answers. And so the book inspires reflection, analysis, and discussion. Iverson, director of the MFA Program in Creative Writing at the University of Memphis, will speak and sign copies of her book at the Community Concert Hall at 7 p.m., Thursday, October 3. The event is free and open to the public. The Common Reading Experience program, now in its eighth year, gives every incoming freshman a free copy of that year's book selection at the Fall Orientation. The book is then integrated into many courses, and is used as the basis for on-campus films, lectures, panel discussions, concerts, plays, and more throughout the Fall. "The goal is to provide a common intellectual experience for faculty, staff, students, and community alike," says CRE Coordinator Bridget Irish. "It's a meeting place for ideas, where you can hear a variety of opinions and perspectives. It also introduces freshmen into that world of ideas by providing opportunities to discuss the ideas in the book both inside and outside the classroom." Iversen grew up in Arvada, Colorado, near the Rocky Flats Plant, a nuclear weapons production facility that manufactured plutonium triggers for nuclear bombs. Today the site is considered one of the most contaminated places in America. Growing up close to the plant, Iversen, along with her family, friends, and neighbors both breathed the poisons and lived with the government's cover-up of the effects of radiation contamination. Full Body Burden – the term refers to the maximum load of plutonium the human body can carry, as set by the U.S. Department of Energy – is both investigative journalism and personal memoir. Iversen writes of the secrets of Rocky Flats – the risks, the so-called "incidents," and the plant's potentially devastating legacy for the entire Denver metro area – while exploring the damage personal secrets can inflict on a family. "Kristen Iversen's book is a good book for our student body because our students are passionate activists. They will be galvanized into action and scholarship by this story of cover-up and secrecy," says Irish. "And many students will also relate to the story Iversen tells of growing up shadowed not only by a secretive government but by a secretive family." "This book is also relevant to many of our academic departments and programs on campus, including Geosciences, Environmental Studies, Political Science, Psychology, and English," Irish adds. "No matter what a student majors in, this book will have relevance." Other CRE events include:

Greetings Fellow Huskies,
My name is Jevonte Marshall and I am a Junior Operations Management and Information Systems (OM&IS) major here at Northern Illinois University. I am overjoyed at the opportunity to serve as your Director of Information Technology for the NIU Student Association.
Ever since I set foot on NIU's esteemed campus I have been involved in many organizations both directly and in-directly via support and have built within myself a strong passion for personal success, success for others, and great service to the community. Supremacy dance team was the first organization I joined simply because it served to one of my biggest passions. Later, I went on to become a member of Delta Phi Delta Dance Fraternity Incorporated to really ground my passion into my college career as well as a brother of Delta Sigma Pi Professional Business Fraternity the following semester to build my professional network and expose myself to a different kind of atmosphere then I was used to. Both organizations, along with my previous jobs and multiple humbling community service events, have helped me get to where I am today with the forward mindset that I am grateful to have. This position gives me an opportunity to better, not only our website, but our communication electronically as a campus. Having been exposed to students of every type here on campus while also staying active in my organizations, I feel as if I can bring more to the table when it comes to NIU's technical aspects. With that being said, I am excited for the upcoming year as it will be one of our best in terms of Information Technology.
I look forward to the Student Association making this year one of our best!
Sincerely,Jevonte Marshall

Nursing Home Abuse
And Nursing Home Neglect
It's never an easy decision when a parent, spouse, or even a child with disabilities needs extended care in a skilled nursing facility. These residential facilities used to be called, simply, "nursing homes" or "homes for the aged." But now they go by different names depending on the extent of care and services offered: assisted living facilities, residential care homes, long-term residential care, and eldercare or elder-care homes are among the names used today.
What they all have is common is they have our TRUST when we place a loved one in their care. Sadly, not all "nursing homes" are deserving of that trust.
What Is Nursing Home Abuse and Negligence?
The U.S. Center on Aging, National Center on Elder Abuse, reports that the epidemic of elder abuse and neglect in nursing homes is so widespread, it is difficult to fathom. Just as difficult is coming up with accurate data to gauge the extent of this shameful problem. Many elder care advocacy and government groups estimate that ONE-THIRD of all nursing homes in the U.S. have been accused of some form of abuse toward residents.
That is a staggering statistic, given so many of our seniors are put in the care of these facilities. One report estimates that 1.6 million people live in 17,000 licensed nursing homes, and up to 1 million live in 45,000 residential care facilities. (Source: Elder Abuse In Residential Long-Term Care Facilities: What Is Known About Prevalence, Causes, And Prevention, Testimony Before the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance by Catherine Hawes, Ph.D., June 18, 2002). That number will increase as the Baby Boom ages.
What is known is that nursing home abuse and negligence can take many forms:
- Neglect
- Mistreatment
- Violence against residents (including slapping, punching, pinching, or handling roughly)
- Sexual assault
- Verbal abuse and threats
- Theft of personal property
- Abuse inflicted by other residents
Nursing home abuse can cause injury, depression, and can even lead to wrongful death.
Maryland Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect - Information and Warning Signs
The Maryland Long Term Care Ombudsman Program, operated by The Maryland Department of Aging, "protects the rights and promotes the well-being of residents in nursing and domiciliary care homes and other long term care facilities." It is unknown how many Maryland senior citizens and others in nursing homes or other care facilities have suffered or perished due to neglect, mistreatment, or violence.
A Baltimore County, Maryland nursing home abuse attorney may be consulted by families who need guidance and assistance, if they feel their loved one isn't safe in a nursing home situation.
Sometimes residents are hesitant or unable to say something is wrong. Look for warning signs, including poor medical care, a failure to provide care when warranted, dirty surroundings, unusual bruising, unexplained bone breaks, depression, lack of appetite, or missing items.
If you suspect a love one has been injured due to nursing home abuse or negligence in Maryland or the Mid-Atlantic...
- Seek IMMEDIATE medical attention and care for your loved one.
- Document their injuries.
- Get copies of all their medical records.
- DO NOT speak to an insurance company representative or the institution's lawyer if they contact you! This is very important, as families with injured loved ones can be misled into giving statements that may be used to deny their claim.
- DO contact Butschky & Butschky, LLC for a free consultation to see if you may have a nursing home abuse or neglect claim in Maryland.

After I sprayed acetamiprid in May, I saw no signs of curculio damage on any of my fruit until early July, when my plums got hit again. At the time, I thought it must be OFM, even tho it's not supposed to be in the area. But no, state entomologist says curculio. And he insists it must be first generation curculio, tho it seems awfully late to me. The eggs would have to have been laid the last week in June. So is anyone else, especially in the northern half of the US midwest, getting late curculio damage? Is it possible that damage people are attributing to OFM could be late curc - either late or 2nd generation? And does anyone have a map that shows the extent of 2nd generation curc activity? Apparently the only way to be sure is to closely examine the larvae for legs. |

I haven't noticed anything on any of my stonefruit... and there is a lot of it out there that hasn't had spray on it in probably 6 weeks. |
I've always had a late drop of Stanley plums, many infested. It's only this year I noticed the problem on the J plums, where it was a lot easier to detect. |
I have either or both OFM and curculio in a significant number of my peaches. The peaches look and taste great but the damage is there. I haven't sprayed since fruit set due to wet weather and a kidney stone. My question is how do I prevent this to carry over to next year. Are OFM and Curculio treated with dormant oil? I would appreciate any recommendations. Thanks,Luke |
- Posted by franktank232 z5 WI (My Page) on Thu, Aug 1, 13 at 16:54
Your pretty much screwed on Curculio...they drop to the ground as grubs and then mature into adults this year...then go back under leaf little for winter and come back in spring... just get them next year, right after petal fall.. |
After looking at images of curculio and OFM larvae in peaches, I think that it is OFM. How do I get rid of them for next year and beyond. This is very disappointing harvest. The peaches otherwise are beautiful. |
You have to anticipate them. And to anticipate them you have to know what they are and their habits. That's the problem. No one monitors for OFM here so if it were going to show up, no one would know when. And curcs aren't supposed to be active anymore. But here they are. With curcs, you have to know when the adults are active and spray them before they lay eggs. With moths, you have more leeway to spray larvacide as the hatchlings are making their way to the fruit. I had some luck early this year with acetamiprid, which shows some kickback, after I saw a lot of curc scars. By the time you can actually see the larvae, it's too late. If you can dig them out of your fruits and ID them [curcs have no legs, moth caterpillars do - it may take magnification] you can count back to figure when the danger time was. I figure to spray next year in late June for the curcs. |

Ellis Godard – CSUN professor and Phish philanthropist
The band Phish has a massive following with almost no help from mainstream media. They were never featured on MTV and are hardly played on the radio. The band's success grew in the early 90s with the internet boom, and Ellis Godard has been following them ever since.
Godard, an associate professor of sociology at CSUN, got into Phish in 1990 and helped develop a website, where fans would share set lists and stories about the band. Many people would print the content from the site and sell it in parking lots at Phish shows across the nation.
In order to harness this sought-after information for good, Godard and a few other Phish fans founded the Mockingbird Foundation in 1997. The charity has created a couple editions of The Phish Companion, which Godard helped edit, and a tribute album, "Sharin' in the Groove: Celebrating the Music of Phish," which Godard helped produce.
The sale of these products, in addition to direct donations, has helped the Mockingbird Foundation give away more than $750,000 to music education for children in 43 states, according to the foundation's website.

Once it has finished, it will say "Hack Successful" and instruct you to relog into AQWorlds to update your variables. Do so now and you will see that your Gold and AC has changed to the amount you entered. Enjoy!
