Me and Jimmy Swaggart
I'd written a column for Business Week online denouncing my least-favorite corporate HR practice, namely, forced-ranking systems. These are the disgusting performance-review programs that force managers to rank their employees every year on a best-to-worst scale. Don't even get me started about forced-ranking systems, which are the opposite of management programs. They're vile, ineffective, and cowardly, if you want my opinion. But anyway, I said more or less the same thing in this story on the Business Week website, and a gentleman wrote to me about that.
When my husband and I were dating, there were certain topics that both of us would tiptoe around when we'd get together for family gatherings. Bunches of his relatives were way, way into televangelists. So the topic of televangelists would come up, and I'd drft into the kitchen to check on the roast, or mention a pear-and-cranberry crisp recipe my mom had sent me. A few of his relatives liked to debate (or just bait) people like me on the topic of religion, and I'd try to be cool, but sometimes my feisty twenty-seven-year-old self would get up in a high dudgeon and then it wasn't so cool. But for the most part, I viewed those get-togethers as tests of patience and forbearance. As they like to say here in Boulder, "Don't be attached."
In 1990 the company I worked for made an acqusition, a software company in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It was a big privilege to go to Baton Rouge on business trips because the people in the software company were the coolest, and of course the food in Baton Rouge is out of this world. I went there a lot. Every time I'd travel to Baton Rouge, one of the very gracious software folks would offer to show me around, and I'd take a driving tour with them, and I always wanted to go to the same place: the Jimmy Swaggart Bible College. The Bible College was going strong back then. It had neat, modern buildings, albeit poured-concrete and sort of Soviet-looking, and a tidy, well-lit student bookstore, which was my number one destination. The bookstore at any given time would be full of impossibly cheerful, blond and well-scrubbed twenty-year-olds, plus me. I'd stand in line, smiling and trying to blend, like Joe Pesci in "My Cousin Vinny," with a stack of Jimmy Swaggart Bible College sweatshirts in my arms.
Those sweatshirts were gold! You'd go to a party in Chicago wearing one of these sweatshirts, and everyone would get jealous and want to know how to get one, too. They were the thing. People would say "Where the heck did you get that sweatshirt?" They didn't believe there was a real Jimmy Swaggart Bible College, but of course there was.
The funniest thing was that when I'd go on my tour of Baton Rouge and stop in at the Bible College bookstore, I'd always see at least one of my Chicago co-workers standing there in line, too, with his or her own stack of Jimmy Swaggart Bible College sweatshirts. We'd have to smile sheepishly at one another because, of course, we were doing our shopping during business hours - we could have been at work - but those sweatshirts were the schwag we had to have. Maybe we intuited that the Bible College was only going to have a brief, shining moment to exist, before its founder found his ignominious destiny.
Something happened to my sweatshirts over the years -- I certainly don't have one anymore. But not long ago I got an email message from a guy that caused me to recall those Baton Rouge, sweatshirt-buying expeditions. I'd written a column for Business Week online denouncing my least-favorite corporate HR practice, namely, forced-ranking systems. These are the disgusting performance-review programs that force managers to rank their employees every year on a best-to-worst scale. Don't even get me started about forced-ranking systems, which are the opposite of management programs. They're vile, ineffective, and cowardly, if you want my opinion. But anyway, I said more or less the same thing in this story on the Business Week website, and a gentleman wrote to me about that.
Evidently this guy had written a book about forced-ranking systems, and he wanted to change my negative view. He said "You say that forced-ranking systems depress teamwork. I've solved that problem: you just add a metric in your forced-ranking system that evaluates people's teamwork!" Oh, Lordy. So even though the whole forced-ranking idea is "dog eat dog, every man for himself" and even though the logic of the thing is that only one person can be in first place, one in second place, etc.., all the way down to Joe the Loser, you can overcome that crushing obstacle by evaluating people on their teamwork!!? How cheery, how chipper, and yet how idiotic. So anyway, this guy is trying to talk me out of my somewhat negative views of forced-ranking systems, because, you know, he wrote a book about 'em, and here's what he says:
"Now, I don't expect you to beat your breast like Jimmy Swaggart and say 'I have sinned,' but maybe you could say that you were mistaken?"
This is in an email message. Do I know the guy? No. He wrote a book. Has he sold me on his point of view, in his email message? Not in the slightest. So he draws me this word picture -- it's not like I want you to behave like a disgraced evangelical televangelist who was caught with a hooker or anything --- nothing like that --- just maybe, you could say you were mistaken? Because, you know, I wrote this book, and not only that, I'm sending you this email. So, you see.
Just say "I was wrong." I was wrong about forced-ranking. A guy that wrote a book, he sent me a message, and he turned me around. Got me pointed in the right direction. Thank you, guy. Thank you for showing me the light. Now, how much do you want for that Jimmy Swaggart Bible College sweatshirt? I know a guy in Chicago'll pay fifty bucks for it.

It's Saturday--just three days before a major deadline for one of your biggest clients. You head to the office for a status report and, lo and behold, no one else bothered to show up.
Should you assume this is because the project has been completed and you have absolutely nothing to worry about? Not if you're a smart entrepreneur. Instead, you're more likely to jump on the phone and track down all the various people involved in the project to figure out what the heck is going on.
If you're ready to leave those frantic, last-minute status reports behind for good, consider project management programs like Microsoft Project, SureTrak and TurboProject, which can help you stay on top of your projects from start to finish. Not only can they help you meet deadlines, but they can also assist you in allocating he time and resources that are necessary for you to get your work done.

Quilted Silk Drawstring Bag
Get More
Subscribe to Martha Stewart Livingadvertisement
A silk drawstring bag with grosgrain ribbon is elegant for evening essentials. Here's one basic way to sew fabric to a backing, similar to our quilted potholders.
- Silk satin, in Orange
- Embroidery floss
- Grosgrain ribbon
Step 1
Place front and back fabrics, right sides together, on work surface (front fabric on the bottom); top with batting. For larger pieces, pin edges.
Step 2
Using a sewing machine, sew around edges of the 3 layers with a 1/4- to 1/2-inch seam allowance, leaving an opening on 1 side. Clip corners on the diagonal. Turn the piece right side out. Use a point turner or other blunt tool to push corners into shape from the inside.
Step 3
Stitch the opening closed by hand. Insert a loop of ribbon.
Martha Stewart Living, January 2011Reviews (4)
Hela 4 Apr, 2011
Just leave the ends of the top hem open, string your ribbon though one channel then through the other so both ends of ribbon meet at the same side, then knot or sew them together and then repeat for the other side of the bag. I make these all the time, kids love them.
Beth50 4 Apr, 2011
You siimply leave an opening in the layers at the top, for the draw string or ribbon..
Change the measurement and make a pair or two, use to pack your dress shoes inside your luggage and keep your clothes cleaner and your shoes protected.
grannyj3 4 Apr, 2011
Thank you, thewordunheard. I was trying to visualize where you were to insert the loop of ribbon and end up with a bag. It's not me this time! Good info on how to do the backed fabric, though.
thewordunheard 4 Apr, 2011
I always love Martha's ideas, but her online tutorials are sometimes sloppy. This is just the how-to for making a quilt -- not the instructions for making a bag!

At any given moment several research teams across the country are working with funding supplied by LRA to help improve the lives of people who have been exposed to Lyme disease. We fund studies that deepen our understanding of how the Lyme bacterium evades the body's defenses and contrives to evade the effect of powerful antibiotics. We fund a study that is in the early stages of applying for stage 1 clinical trials of the first ever drug to treat persistent Lyme disease. And we fund a team that is scrutinizing the current diagnostic tests that are far from reliable."

I also conduct educational seminars on Lyme disease and tick-borne disease prevention before various private and government groups.

Big Slick's in North Miami Beach knows how to make a big sandwich
Big Slick's in North Miami Beach knows how to make a big sandwich
Big Slick's
15455 W. Dixie Hwy, North Miami Beach
305-940-4141Hours: 10:30am-4pm Monday-Friday, 11am-3pm Saturday
Prices: Sandwiches $5.50-$9.50, soup $2.95-$4.50, salads $5.50-7.50, hot platters $7.50-$9.5
People with broken-down cars have a friend in Big Slick's. On a stretch of road dotted with mechanics, the deli is an oasis for drivers awaiting repairs. It's also a convenient stop for takeout. The North Miami Beach deli, just south of busy 163rd Street, focuses on the simple sandwich. Pick your protein, cheese, toppings and bread, then watch the counter staff go to work.
The best of the sandwiches pack on the meat. Four meatballs and mild marinara get shoved into a small sub. The beef is roasted on site. The packaged maple turkey is tasty with a layer of melted Swiss and a slather of Russian dressing. And tuna salad on a baguette (with onions, sweet peppers, pesto and black olives) was perfectly made.
Big Slick's has some trouble with vegetables, though. Under-roasted carrots, yellow squash, zucchini and eggplant crunched too hard in the spinach wrap, and the coleslaw was discolored and hardly marinated. But the veggies meshed perfectly in a vegan soup that warmed the tummy on a cool day.
Unlike at assembly-line sub chains, customers need to make all their topping choices when placing an order. Breads include rye, wrap, roll and wheat, and sandwiches come in two or three sizes depending on variety. Put together your own creation (toppings include the standards plus avocado, feta, bacon and egg) or pick a concoction like the Full House (roast beef, turkey, pepper jack, honey mustard, lettuce and tomato). The eponymous Big Slick features breaded, baked chicken, prosciutto, roasted red peppers, mozzarella and basil.
The counter crew had our six sandwiches ready in about 20 minutes, and everything was marked on the wrappers so we didn't have confusion when we got home. If you're hungry for something heartier, Big Slick's serves meatloaf and mashed potatoes and features other hot specials during the week including penne pasta and ginger salmon.

The curse of the designer: You sit at the bar quaffing your favorite brew after a long day at the studio, then the light hits the stein just right... and you start wondering what the C, M, Y and K numbers are of this particular beer. Well, wonder no more—the Beertone color reference guide aims to do for beer what Pantone has done for everything else in the world: Assign it a specific color value.
For now the Swiss-based venture has only quantified Swiss-made brews, but they've got plans to expand beyond their borders and are taking suggestions. There's no word on when the 200-plus swatch booklet will begin shipping, but they're taking pre-orders right here.

WeHoNews.com proudly presents a reprise of an article from our first issue about a woman without whom West Hollywood would be quite a bit darker. Few women, lesbian or straight, can lay claim to having as large an impact on her society and community than can Ivy Bottini.
Ivy Bottini is an artist, actor, comedian, director, mother and political activist.
She is a founder of the first chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW) in 1966 and designed their national logo in 1969. Ms. Bottini founded the first AIDS organization in Los Angeles, AIDS Network. She founded the Los Angeles Lesbian/Gay Police Advisory Board. She spearheaded the defeat of the historic Briggs (No on 6), No on LaRouche and No On 64 Initiatives. In 1991 she received Drama Logues' "Best Performance Award" for the highly acclaimed "Against the Rising Sea." In 1998, the "Ivy Theatre" was established and named in Ms. Bottini's honor.
The city of West Hollywood, recognizing her contribution to the Women's Movement and to the Lesbian and Gay Movement, in 2001 planted a California Live Oak in her honor and erected a bronze monument at its foot in the Matthew Shepherd Memorial Triangle.
Ivy worked as a full time graphic artist for 25 years. She is currently preparing for another Art Show. Her activism continues on – she acts as co-chair of the city of West Hollywood's Lesbian and Gay Advisory Board and headed the City's Addiction and Recovery Task Force. Under her leadership, the Lesbian and Gay Advisory Board spearheaded the exploration of partner abuse in the lesbian and gay community. Ms. Bottini is also a Board Member of the West Hollywood Orchestra, and member-emeritus of the Christopher Street West Board of Directors, the longest-running Gay Pride Parade/Festival in the world.
Ms. Bottini remains active in real estate as an agent for Prudential/John Aaroe Realtors, and as an Account Executive for Community Yellow Pages.
Following is a broad sampling of Ms. Bottini's political activism history, one now spanning five decades:
1966 – Co-founder of first chapter of National Organization for Women (NOW) in New York City and acts as president of the chapter from 1968 to 1970. She designs National NOW logo while visiting California in 1969.
1974 – Tours the continental United States, Alaska and Hawaii as first Lesbian/Feminist one woman show.
1977 – Creates and hosts first Lesbian/Gay radio show on mainstream network, KHJ, Los Angeles.
1981 – Appointed by Governor Jerry Brown as Commissioner for "California Commission on Aging" – the first "out" lesbian or gay to be appointed to a state board or commission.
1983 – Founding member of the first community service organization to address the disease's ravages.
1998 – The "Ivy Theatre Company" in Los Angeles is founded and named in her honor.
2000 – Appointed co-chair of Lesbian and Gay Advisory Board of the City of West Hollywood.
2001 – On the organizing committee of Alliance for Diverse Community Aging Services and served as founding board member of the Gay and Lesbian Elder Housing Corporation, a non-profit that breaks ground on its new GLBT Elder Housing structure in Hollywood called "Encore Hall" in April, 2005.
WeHoNews.com talked with Ms. Bottini in her West Hollywood condo on Kings Road.
Why did you move here to West Hollywood?
"I found myself here all the time, especially around the time of cityhood and the Briggs Initiative fight…So I decided to go buy a condo one day and looked only here. West Hollywood personified our community's struggle…there was so much going on here, I really wanted to live here."
What's changed and what's stayed the same about the city in its 20-year history?
"It's getting kind of crowded, but I'm sure the city will find ways to mitigate the traffic that…[all these] multiple-family dwellings going up all over and the city is feeling, like the [residents] that it might be too much too fast. I'm glad they are looking at mixed-use…everywhere I lived back East was mixed-use. I'm favorable to it because it humanizes a city, helps merchants and residents get to know each other. But the city retains its activist fervor, and I envision them even building a monorail over the city to solve some of the traffic problems…I don't see the large Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender (GLBT) population getting anything but bigger as more of us move here to the safety of the city."
What's the nicest and most fun thing about living in West Hollywood?
"I feel like I have a large family in West Hollywood, that's a very important feeling for us lesbian and gay people. We don't always have families, and to feel that in the community is really nice. The most fun thing is the night life – I feel it in my body at night when the people come out and come here to enjoy the night life here. There is an energy and aliveness – that is really fun, being in the middle of that vitality."
From an activist's point of view, how is West Hollywood important?
"There's a reason for West Hollywood – [gays and lesbians] weren't being heard in the 1970s and we took hold of the city government to create a place for our voices to be heard [we made] a place at the table. Anyone visiting from around the world notices this place is a very special place…there are places where gays and lesbians are honored – that's something you won't find elsewhere. West Hollywood has become the center of the gay and lesbian community in the world. I honestly believe that."
From an artists' point of view, how is West Hollywood important?
"It could be better. The city supports large [corporate art] installations, but they don't nurture the everyday working artist living in West Hollywood. The public art is great, but they don't help working artist like they could – say for example a monthly Art Festival with artists painting and displaying on the newly-widened Santa Monica Boulevard between the trees. It would bring artists to the street, visitors from out of town and money to the merchants' pockets."
How are we doing with senior and low-income housing?
"The city is behind there, too, but catching up. They could move faster, but they make the city beautiful wherever possible… I co-founded the Gay and Lesbian Elder Housing Corporation in 2001, a non-profit housing corporation that breaks ground on its new GLBT Elder Housing structure in Hollywood called 'Encore Hall' in April. It will have 3000 square feet devoted to community and cultural functions. Why not in West Hollywood? Why not artist's lofts with public space and low-income set asides like are being built in Los Angeles? I believe that this is the Creative City and it can support art, seniors and low-income artists working alone and isolated by helping to build housing for us.
"…but from an artist's perspective, this is one of the most restfully beautiful cities I know of to drive through – especially along Holloway coming downhill east (I could sit and look at that view forever). The city did a good job re-building [Santa Monica] Boulevard, and deserves congratulations."

After reducing the states in which Google was allowing users to search for mortgage rates in its Advisor tool, it has recently completely removed the mortgage options. This is good news for many mortgage lead generators who bid on the very competitive term "mortgage rates" and others that typically listed Googles Advisor advertisement at the very top of the list.
According to National Mortgage News, Google spokeswoman Winnie King said, "We've been prioritizing our product efforts across Google, which means taking a hard look at products that haven't been as successful as we would have hoped .To that end, we've closed down the mortgage search feature of Google Advisor and are focused on building continued improvements into the rest of the product".
The product, which received a lot of praise from lenders, spurred a number of knock-offs because of its success in generating quality inquiries. In fact, while not all lenders hopped on the bandwagon, it did give the sense that lead generation in the space was going to change. It now looks like the momentum they created might fizzle away.
Anybody in the mortgage space going to miss Google's Advisor product?

My Showreel 2010-2012
August 2012
A selection of shots from videos I've directed, shot and edited over the last year or so. Had lots of fun putting this together!
Rizzle Kicks - Traveller's Chant
February 2012
This was more of a laid back track from Rizzle Kicks and I really wanted to get across that aspect of someone travelling so I came up with using a camera on a bindle stick like a travelling hobo. I could cut together the footage well as the camera's point of view doesn't change and gives a true sense of wandering around. I also filmed RK with some motorised timelapse in the back of a black cab to get the feeling of travelling at speed. It's probably my favourite of all my music videos and not just because it features the back of my head!
Rizzle Kicks - Youngster
September 2012
We had lots of fun filming this. Mostly trying to get across the vibe of what it was like to dream when you were a kid and trying to keep those dreams alive when you're an adult.
Rizzle Kicks - Down With The Trumpets
May 2011
We reshot the original video for Down With The Trumpets to coincide with the official release of the single. I wanted to keep a similar vibe to the original and reference it a little, which is where the ghetto blaster TV idea came from.
Rizzle Kicks - Prophet (Better Watch It)
April 2011
I come from a photography background and have always loved long exposures so I've always wanted to make a video made entirely out of photos. I knew it could be done well as I remembered seeing Michel Gondry's 'Like a rolling stone' video some years ago. It took four shoots and some late nights but it was worth it.
Jessie J - Price Tag (Rizzle Kicks vs Rural Remix)
February 2011
This was an official remix of Jessie J's number 1, Price Tag, with Rizzle Kicks. They wanted something fun and low budget, in keeping with the spirit of the song.
Rizzle Kicks - Burning Stuff/Fly Me To The Moon - Kick Back TV #4
January 2011
Rizzle was burning a load of his old work after finishing school and he wanted me to come down and record the occasion. They did an impromptu performance of something they wrote a while ago after they'd run out of things to burn!
Rizzle Kicks - Miss Cigarette

New Report Identifies Banks Consumers Complain About Most
WASHINGTON – Thousands of Americans are using the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's public Consumer Complaints Database to settle disputes with their banks, according to a new report from the US PIRG Education Fund. The report highlights banks that generated the most complaints through their various banking services in each state.
"Thanks to the CFPB's complaints database, consumers who get ripped off or misled by their banks can make their voices heard and get satisfaction," said Laura Murray, Consumer Associate for the US PIRG Education Fund. "Other consumers can view the public database and make smarter, more informed financial choices. By providing a roadmap for navigating the tricks and traps of the financial marketplace, this database is another way the CFPB gets real results for consumers."
The report, "Big Banks, Big Complaints: CFPB's Consumer Complaints Database Gets Real Results for Consumers," [http://www.uspirgedfund.org/reports/usf/big-banks-big-complaints] is the first in a series that analyzes the data in the CFPB's Consumer Complaints Database, which accepts complaints relating to a variety of financial products and services. This first report focuses on the complaints relating to bank accounts.
Some key findings:
- The banks that generated the most complaints nationally are also the largest banks in terms of billions of dollars deposited: Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and JP Morgan Chase. But on a per-dollar basis, the banks that generated the most complaints are TCF National Bank, Sovereign Bank and Capital One.
- One in four complaints (28 percent) resulted in monetary relief to the consumer, and an additional 5 percent resulted in non-monetary relief to the consumer, such as adjusting account terms. A total of 95 percent of complaints were closed through the process.
- Vermont is the highest-ranking state overall for our complaints-to-deposits ratio—ranking from highest to lowest based on the amount of complaints relative to the amount of banking done in each state.
- While banks respond to 95 percent of complaints, approximately one in every five resolutions is still disputed by the consumer.
To make the public database more useful to consumers, the report also highlights several changes that the CFPB should make, such as developing a mobile app version for smartphone users. Most importantly, the CFPB should analyze the data regularly and move to act on problems that become apparent through the process.
"The CFPB should use the information and analysis to implement strong consumer protections," said Murray. "The database is a powerful tool for the CFPB to use in setting its agenda and taking on the most egregious banking practices."
Download the report, "Big Banks, Big Complaints: CFPB's Consumer Complaints Database Gets Real Results for Consumers" here.
This is the first in a series of five reports by the US PIRG Education Fund that analyze the complaints in the CFPB's public Consumer Complaints Database. Upcoming reports will analyze complaints relating to private student loans, credit cards, credit reporting, and debt collection.

Selected as the no2 social change doco for 2012 (Films for Action), REAL ESTATE 4 RAN$OM outlines a genuine alternative to the global property speculation that forced so many into debt.
Doubling the pressure, the tax game has become just that, with tax havens a favoured option for the wealthy.
The result - we are taxing the wrong things, causing more problems whilst bankrupting once proud economies. A systemic change is essential if we are to avoid these damaging boom-bust-bailouts.

Licensing and Insurance for Volunteers
License Renewal Fees
The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) will pay the license renewal fees for licensed health care providers (including dentists and dental hygienists) who only wish to use their Washington State professional license for volunteer work. The volunteers need not be officially "retired" to be eligible for either of these programs. Many people choose to take time off from paid work for other reasons (such as maternity or paternity leave), in which case they would still be able to utilize the license renewal benefit. However, they cannot be paid for dental work in any venue, and they must be currently licensed when they apply for this program.
Dentists can volunteer through any approved venue, as long as the care they provide is non-invasive and they don't receive any remuneration for their service. By definition, non-invasive dental care includes diagnosis, oral hygiene, restoration and extractions. This program is administered by the Western Washington Area Health Education Center (WWAHEC). To apply for this program, please visit www.wwahec.org and download the registration form.
The free license renewal by the Department of Health does carry the same CE requirements as all other (paid) professional license renewals. Volunteers are able to cover some of their CE through their volunteer work if the site/clinic tracks the time. They can offset 7 of the 21 required CE hours through volunteer work. Additionally, the WSDA—through our annual Pacific Northwest Dental Conference (PNDC)—offers a complimentary conference badge for retired WWAHEC volunteers. By attending the PNDC, the retired dentist can obtain an additional 14 of the 21 credits required. For information about the complimentary conference badge, contact us at (800) 448-3368 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
DEA License
The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) license renewal for prescription drug writing, unfortunately, is not covered by anyone but the volunteer. The fee is around $600. In some settings, the clinic pays for one volunteer's DEA license renewal and that volunteer does all of the prescribing. Since it's a federal license, DOH can't do much to change who has to pay.
Although this program is known as the "Volunteer/Retired Providers Program," the Western Washington Area Health Education Center can provide malpractice insurance to volunteers who are not retired, as long as they don't already have coverage for the volunteer work through other malpractice policies. Additionally, the volunteer dentist who works part-time elsewhere may still be eligible for malpractice insurance for his/her volunteer work. The malpractice insurance offered by their part-time employer cannot cover their volunteer efforts, and the dentist will have to apply for this program. To apply for this program, please visit www.wwahec.org to obtain an application.
Processing Times
Processing for both the free licensing renewal and malpractice insurance takes about two to three weeks. To apply for the free licensing fee, the dentist must be within three months of a license renewal. WWAHEC's contact person is Jana Lindner and her phone number is (206) 441-7137.

This will be accomplished by evaluating the quality of existing CityGML data as well as of CityGML sample data sets that have been specifically developed for this experiment with available quality checking tools. The data requirements and recommended implementation guidance will be defined from the insights obtained by these experiments and may serve as input to extend and refine the CityGML standard. This will meet the OGC Membership and community "thirst" for better implementation guidance for each OGC standard, in this case CityGML
USGS data services get over 1 million hits per day, with data being used by a range of communities at the state, county, city, and other levels for a variety of purposes (science, decision-support, etc). There's interest to investigate whether the USGS data services are fully compliant with relevant OGC standards, and if there are opportunities to improve how the data is being served to the different communities. In this project, OGC is supporting the USGS Interoperability Assessment Initiative with the goal of assessing if OGC standards as implemented in USGS servers are meeting users requirements. OGC will perform the following tasks:
Virtual USA becomes the de facto national standard for sharing emergency management information across levels of government and the private sector, allowing all users and organizations to use their own systems to share information securely with all others, anywhere in the United States and across international borders, controlling what information is shared, with whom, for how long.
Call for participation in the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and Ordnance Survey United Kingdom Interoperability Assessment Plugfest (UKIAP) 2013 The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and the Ordnance Survey, with the support of the Association for Geographic Information (AGI), are leading the first of a series of events called the United Kingdom Interoperability Assessment Plugfest (UKIAP) 2013. The purpose of UKIAP 2013 is to advance the interoperability of geospatial products and services based on OGC standards within the UK geospatial information (GI) community. The results of the Plugfest will allow Ordnance Survey to provide best practice guidance to those who want to consume or implement geospatial web services or products based on OGC standards. UKIAP 2013 is open to commercial and open source vendors and to all GI organisations in the UK. This request is being issued as a Call For Participation (CFP) because the OGC and Ordnance Survey would like to involve as many participants in the initiative as possible.
The MOSIA consortium group (MOdeling Support with standards for Information and Architecture models applied to ATM) is a consortium of organisations with a background in Information management and Information, Service and Architecture modeling from a set of standardisaton organisations, in particular OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium), ISO/TC211, INSPIRE and OMG (Object Management Group). The MOSIA group is led by SINTEF and consist of the following partners: · SINTEF · Snowflake Software · Open Geospatial Consortium (OGCE) · No Magic · Institute for Geoinformatics (IfGI), Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster (WWU) · iGSI · Envitia · Carmenta · Managed AIS (M-AIS)
The FAA's Aircraft Access to System Wide Information Management (AAtS) initiative is in its evolutionary stages of requirements and standards development. Its goal is to provide aircraft connectivity to the FAA's SWIM infrastructure to communicate/share aviation data and services. This connectivity will establish a common operating picture between the flight deck and air traffic control for collaborative strategic decision-making. Distribution of the vast amount of operational information (such as AI, MET and ATM) needed to support the safe movement of aircraft during all phases of flight in the National Airspace System (NAS) will increase capacity, efficiency, and result in more timely departures and arrivals. Similarly, there are a number of aviation standards in development by a variety of industry groups and committees (i.e., the RTCA Special Committee 206 (SC-206), Aircraft/Ground Information Exchange/Manager Air-Ground Interface Communications (AGIE/MAGIC), and Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards) that are also pursuing the development of requirements and standards to leverage ground based aviation related information and data networking technology to support the operation of aircraft. Thus, the FAA and industry are moving towards consensus that electronic distribution of operational data and technical information will increase the NAS/airline productivity and efficiency and deliver a more positive passenger experience both domestically and internationally. However, there is a need to encourage harmonization of all of these efforts since the aforementioned aviation committees also represent global interests. This projects puts forward a plan whereby the differences in requirements/standards undertaken by SC-206, AGIE/MAGIC and OGC can be identified and harmonized for both domestic and international interests. The goal is to set a framework for recommending and testing a harmonized architecture between all 3 concepts, requirements and standards.

Yesterday's post featured peaks into several homes designed by Woodson and Rummerfield. Today's post spotlights one home in particular designed by the talented duo – Christina Aguilera's Los Angeles mansion. This home is impressive –rich with color, drama and of course glamour.
The green walls, playful accessories, and Paul Smith rugs bring in a ton of great color, while the smoky mirrors and crystal chandelier add drama.
I love the punches of pink added with the bookcase painted back and pool table top.
With so many colorful and quirky details, this home is far from boring and neutral.
Such a cute family! Isn't her son Max so adorable?!?
This dining room features a hand carved antique lacquered table, wallpaper from Brunschwig & Fils, and an iron chandelier painted red.
This wall of shoes, organized by style and designer, is a girl's dream.
Again, that kid is so cute!!
Jack Osbourne's former bedroom was transformed into Christina's dream salon/walk-in closet.
How fabulous are those illumintated mirrors and retro barber's chairs?!
Christina gets glam while sitting cross-legged on the bed or floor. I do that too! Anyone else?
What a sexy bedroom! That canopy bed is so theatrical and romantic.
Just like many of us, she likes to create an inspiration collage board.
The color continues outdoors with this gazebo decorated in bohemian style.

failed the nclex 3 times ... NEED HELP
1Apr 21, '13 by roxy0128i failed the nclex 3 times and i am loosing hope on passing.
the first time i had 165 questions ... 1 above the passing standard
3 near the passing standard
2 below the passing standard
the second time around i had 265 questions ... 7 near the passing standard
1 below the passing standard
the third time i had 265 questions, as well, but the results haven't come in the mail yet. but i had ALOT of SATA questions ... more than the first two and i thought i had passed but that wasn't the case.
ive look at numerous posts of inspiration about how people that were in the same situation as me have pushed through. i was wondering if any of those people would give me some advice as how you have passed.
i don't want to take the test and fail again. it feels like a burdening weight on me that isn't going to go away until i pass the test.danielle5454 likes this. -
1Apr 22, '13 by Vee18I know how you feel I failed the first time and felt like a complete failure and I was bummed out for a long time but if you made it through nursing school you can definitely make it through the nclex! What I did to pass is I invested in these three things 1.Saunders book 2. Online Hurst Review 3. iPhone NCLEX apps
I made a calendar and dedicated a few hours a day (Mon-Friday) to reading and studying. The Hurst Review is really neat because it made learning somewhat fun so it sticks with you. As for the NCLEX apps this was convenient during times I couldn't really prop out my big ol Saunders book like during traffic, waiting at the doctors office etc. this is what I did and passed the second time so its not the end of the world, you just have to really dedicate time. Good luck!Ms.G86 likes this. -
0Apr 23, '13 by nursearikehi,am in the same shoes as you are now but we cannot give up,we will pass the next one,i had all the 265 questions the last time too,i really thought i was going to pass but i didnt ,am not discouraged,i feel like this time around,i ll focus more on the content,working towards JUNE,we can do it,what state are you? YOU could email me on firstname.lastname@example.com,we could share informations and also lift each other up,goodluck!
0Apr 23, '13 by danielle5454Study every moment you get. I use my phone to study away from my house any spare moment I get. I stopped using text books and starting using my phone months ago. Let me know if you want a few specific suggestions
0Apr 23, '13 by krocks1218Consider taking a refresher course even if it isn't mandatory in your state. Look in to ATI courses and also see if you can get techniques to deal with test anxiety. I would also contact your school and see what they suggest. Re: SATA they r a ****** but just study the important procedures inside and out . Good luck to you!
0Apr 23, '13 by nursingstudentmomof5I was thinking maybe you could get with someone from your program and perhaps do a group study a well. They may be able to assist with what you are weak in and vice versa then study apart to see if you see a change for the better with your practice exams.
0Apr 23, '13 by tigerRN2013What is your school's average nclex passing rate? It could be your school didn't focus on some of the content that nclex does. I am taking the Kaplan review and they cover a lot of material my school excluded
0Apr 23, '13 by AHopkinsonI understand your pain, I failed NCLEX the first time, what worked for me the second time was the Hurst Review. It made everything so simple in a way that i can understand, i only studied hurst material, I also made alot of flash cards that i would look at any chance i got. i can honestly say about 80% of the questions i got, i was able to answer using the info provided by Hurst. Good luck in the future and never give up.
0Apr 24, '13 by Paige15Quote from AHopkinsonI failed my nclex the first time and just signed up for Hurst as well. Did you do practice questions form outside sources or just Hurst? Also did you feel at the end of Hurst you could recall all info exactly? how many days did you take the hurst course over?I understand your pain, I failed NCLEX the first time, what worked for me the second time was the Hurst Review. It made everything so simple in a way that i can understand, i only studied hurst material, I also made alot of flash cards that i would look at any chance i got. i can honestly say about 80% of the questions i got, i was able to answer using the info provided by Hurst.

Name of student killed in Chardon High School shooting released
CHARDON, Ohio - The name of a student killed after a shooting rampage at Chardon High School Monday has been released.
A spokeswoman for MetroHealth Medical Center said Daniel Parmertor died as a result of being shot.
His family released this statement through the hospital:
"We are shocked by this senseless tragedy. Danny was a bright young boy who had a bright future ahead of him. The family is torn by this loss. We ask that you respect our privacy during this difficult time."
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office said Parmertor was 16 years old.
His uncle, Ron Parmertor, said the junior at Chardon High School and Auburn Career Center liked computers. He was waiting to be transferred to Auburn today when the shooting happened.
"I think it's just a senseless tragedy. It's a shame that somebody has to do something like this to prove a point. If you have a problem you need to contact your local police department and handle it the proper way and not take matters into your own hands," Ron Parmertor said.
The family is leaning on friends, family and students for support during this tough time. Monday afternoon, the Parmertor family home was packed with students as they all remember and honor their friend.
Neighbor, Ben Miraglia, said, "He was a really nice young man. I really enjoyed his company. I played basketball with him once in awhile. I'm in shock over this as many are, and I'm really going to miss this kid. He was good to me."
Parmertor and two other victims from the shooting were taken to MetroHealth Medical Center following the shooting.
Two other victims taken to Hillcrest Hospital are a 17-year-old boy, who is in serious condition, and an 18-year-old girl, who is in stable condition, according to a hospital representative.
Police said the gunman who opened up fire in the school early Monday turned himself in after a teacher apparently chased him out of the building.

As I'm sure you're aware of by now, almost a thousand tickets allocated for Manchester City fans for the game at Arsenal on Sunday have been returned to the club due to lack of demand. This has been put down to City fans un-impressed with being expected to stump up £62 in order to watch the game, and it's hard to blame them. That's an awful lot of money to watch a game of football, especially when added to travel costs and whatever else that would go into your average day out whilst watching football.
Of course, at Arsenal, we've been used to paying £62 to watch football for quite a while now. Hell, tickets in some parts of the upper tier are being sold for double that on Sunday. And yet the game is sold-out. So there shouldn't be anything to worry about, right?
One of the ways that having a 24/7 media cycle can affect the way we follow football, is that the constant stream of information about our club, about any topic they can find, especially news of a financial nature, ends up numbing us to the size of the numbers involved. Take Walcott's contract as an example. We are offering him SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSANDS POUNDS A WEEK to play football. And yet he can look at that offer and fairly ascertain that he deserves at least 33% more. That's a pretty good picture of how far finances have gotten out of touch with the real world, when someone can be handed a contract worth nearly four million pounds a year and their first response is to wonder "Is that all?".
But the most endearing quality that the sport of football possesses is that it is more accessible to the real world than any other sport in the world. It doesn't matter whether you have goalposts or not, it doesn't matter if you have eleven a side or not, it doesn't matter if you play on grass or not, it doesn't even matter whether you may have a football or not at times, if there are five kids kicking something soft around, they're playing football.
Then add the community aspect to it. The club that plays up the road becomes "your" club. They become part of your character, your life, your everything. You become as identifiable by the club you support as you are by your name. You start to defend them like you would defend your brother. And when they call on your support every weekend, you make it your calling to be there, standing behind them at every possible opportunity, cost be damned. Except now, the cost cannot be so lightly dismissed.
Fans who have been going to watch The Arsenal all their lives are now starting to look in their wallets on a Friday night and wonder whether the hassle is worth it. That feeling must stink, the constant churning of emotions over having to choose between the things you love and the things you need. Going to watch a football game used to be a simple affair, Saturday would arrive and you'd pay the admission with your beer change from the night before. Now, if you want to watch the game, then it might have to be at the expense of missing a credit card bill, or not bringing the kids out on Sunday, or worse.
So, now that supporting the club is now as much of a financial decision as it is an emotional one, it's no surprise that fans are starting treating the club like any other financial decision, they're putting their hard earned money into the club and they want a return on it. It comes as no surprise to this author that the majority of fans calling for a review of Arsene Wenger and the board's status at the club are fans having to sacrifice a significant portion of their wages to watch them.
I'm not saying that fans who pay to watch Arsenal care more than fans who don't, my love of Arsenal is just as strong as anyone's and I get to see two games a year in person if I'm lucky. Emotions are intangible, but having to weigh up whether I can afford to go or not is a tangible that I, or 99.99% of Arsenal fans around the world, never have to deal with, and is an important one to keep in mind. Being annoyed at an Arsenal loss is bad enough, paying for the privilege of watching some of the lacklustre performances that have been served up by our team can only add to that frustration.
Then add in the improving experience of watching a football game at home. Going to a game in the late summer or middle of spring is a wonderful way to spend an evening. Going to a game in the middle of winter, after queuing for a hour in a freezing cold tube station for a train full to the brim, to sit in a stadium where they offer you overpriced food and no phone signal for two hours? Not so much. Especially when the alternative is now having the game in your own living room, on your HD TV or laptop, with a fridge stocked full of refreshments and a sofa to lie on, and that the cost of all those listed items cost less than some of the season tickets available at Arsenal?
With the cost of building a championship winning team spiralling out of control, the easiest way to for a club to increase income is to hike up ticket prices. And for years, fans have swallowed the bitter pill of higher costs due to the promise from the club that money would be invested in the team. But now those prices have reached breaking point, as the return of Man City's tickets have shown. No longer are fans willing to be a continuous source of easy money for clubs to spend at their own behest, now they want accountability too.
But as long as the stadium is full every week, owners won't care about who's filling the seats. And in purely business terms, they shouldn't. One person's money is worth just as much as the next person's, after all. But as fans, we want the club to care about "our" money. It should be important that we're making sacrifices in order to fund the club's actions. Yet the constant rise in ticket prices across football is a painful reminder that our club is more worried about the amount of money they get, as opposed to who can afford to come.
Our community club has become a business that sells hope to the world, and despite our best wishes and constant contributions towards turning that hope into reality, every year, the price of hope goes up. And as long as that continues, then more and more fans will be faced with the question Man City fans asked of themselves this week; "Is it worth it?". And as more and more fans conclude that it isn't, then we lose more and more of the reasons as to why we all love Arsenal in the first place.

I like this very much, It reminds of C.S. Lewis and his comment on "shadowlands": "We live in the shadowlands.
Sun is always shining somewhere else...
around a bend in the road...
over the brow of a hill." A great movie with the wonderful Anthony Hokpins.
Of course, I meant Hopkins.

So I'm using Ikea to plan my kitchen remodel, but I have no idea where to start. We tore up the old floor to find beautiful hardwood underneath, so flooring idea is done, but layout and size of this room is just HORRIBLE!
My first idea was to knock down the Dining room wall, and make the two an open platform (Dinning room is the southern wall in the picture) But I just don't know or what to think, so I"m looking for ideas and suggestions. Thanks. |

Violence against teachers on the rise

Teens: One of the saddest of contemporary trends in our schools is the proliferation of violence — against not only students, but also teachers — in the classrooms and corridors. This is the inevitable spillover of an increasingly violent society. Indeed, the once-shocking spectacle of students attacking teachers is becoming a common occurrence.
For instance, a 17-year-old student severely beat a teacher who was trying to break up a fight at a high school in a California upscale community. The teacher suffered a dislocated finger, chipped elbow and bruises on the face and body. The words that echoed throughout the shocked community afterward were, "This shouldn't happen here." But it's happening everywhere. Violence and threats of violence to teachers are on the rise across the country.
How should we discipline a student who physically attacks a teacher? Should the student be suspended, expelled, prosecuted? This school district took the matter very seriously and filed felony charges against the attacker. If convicted, he faces up to three years and eight months in a state youth facility.
The school district could take the action it did because in California, as in some other states, it's a felony to physically attack a teacher. All 50 states should have such a law. A growing number are, indeed, considering one.
