Auckland: England's dismal rugby World Cup continued even after they were knocked out when centre Manu Tuilagi was cautioned by police for jumping off a ferry on Sunday.

Tuilagi apologises after jumping off a harbour ferry
Incident caps miserable England campaign
- Image Credit: Reuters
- Manu Tuilagi
The 2003 world champions lost in the quarter-finals to France on Saturday, ending a campaign marked by ill-discipline both on and off the field.
Tuilagi, England's most impressive performer in the defeat to the French, was cautioned after he jumped off a harbour ferry that was about to berth in downtown Auckland on Sunday and was fined 3,000 pounds ($4650) by his team.
Silly thing to do
"I'm really sorry. It was a silly thing to do and I apologise to everybody for any inconvenience caused," Tuilagi said in an RFU statement Monday.
A spokesperson for the ferry company said that a passenger had jumped off the boat from Waiheke Island just before 1900 (0600 GMT) on Sunday and was met by police at the wharf before being taken away.
"This was an irresponsible thing to do," England manager Martin Johnson said. "Manu has been disciplined internally and I have warned him about his future conduct."
The RFU said the fine would be donated to the World Cup Christchurch appeal. The Samoan-born 20-year-old also fell foul of strict International Rugby Board dress regulations and was fined NZ$10,000 ($7,664) for wearing a branded mouthguard, just days after his brother Alesana, who plays for Samoa, was fined for the same indiscretion.
Off-field incidents
England's campaign was undermined by several off-field incidents when the team was in the South Island, including reports of a heavy drinking session in Queenstown and disrespectful treatment of a member of staff at their hotel in Dunedin.
"The disappointing thing is that the off-field stuff doesn't reflect the team," Johnson said on Sunday. "There's some very good people here and they've done some good things on the pitch. That's 000.1 per cent but it's disappointing."

Fifty-five boys were part of a bold experiment in the late 1960s. They were placed in an intensive summer school program and, if they finished, the headmasters of 16 prep schools agreed to enroll them, all tuition paid. The boys were all poor, almost all of them were black. That experiment evolved into an institution that celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. It's called A Better Chance.
The organization is funded by individuals, foundations and corporations. From NPR's new Code Switch team reporting on race, ethnicity and culture, Shereen Marisol Meraji has our profile.
SHEREEN MARISOL MERAJI, BYLINE: Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, singer-songwriter Tracey Chapman, and Luis Ubinas, the president of the Ford Foundation, are among the nearly 14,000 A Better Chance alumni, and soon you can add these two names to that list.
FRANK HERNANDEZ: My name is Frank Hernandez. I'm a senior here at Thacher.
MAHOGANY MONETTE: My name is Mahogany Monette and I'm a junior at the Thacher School.
MERAJI: Frank Hernandez and Mahogany Monette are A Better Chance scholars at a boarding school in idyllic Ojai, California. The campus sits on 425 acres, complete with citrus groves and more than 100 horses. Along with rigorous academic requirements, students have to care for and ride the horses.
MONETTE: I was super nervous for that and I remember talking to a girl next to me. She's like, oh yeah, I've ridden before. And she gets on her horse and she does amazing things and I'm just like oh, my God, what am I doing?
MERAJI: Mahogany and Frank describe their first few weeks at the Thacher School as exciting and totally overwhelming.
HERNANDEZ: The only thing that ever came close to it was astro camp in 5th grade, which we were gone for like three days maybe.
MERAJI: Frank grew up in a working class Latino neighborhood in Santa Ana. His Dad's a truck driver. His mom...
HERNANDEZ: She is a factory worker. She assembles extension cords and things like that.
MERAJI: Mahogany's mom, a single parent, raised her in South Los Angeles.
MONETTE: And my mom's a high school English teacher, so she kind of knew the schooling system in L.A. and she's like I don't really want my daughter to go to school in L.A., or at least not a public school.
MERAJI: Instead, she's at a boarding school just 90 minutes away where a good number of her classmates are very well off. Mahogany's neighborhood public high school graduates less than half of its students and most of the kids that go there are poor.
SANDRA TIMMONS: We're talking about families for whom independent boarding or day school would be completely out of their reach.
MERAJI: That's Sandra Timmons.
TIMMONS: I'm privileged to be the president of A Better Chance.
MERAJI: Timmons says since its inception, A Better Chance has been a talent scout for prep schools looking for diversity. In the '60s, a majority of the students were black and poor.
TIMMONS: The original topic was poverty. You educate people to become leaders and to help raise these communities out of poverty in many ways.
MERAJI: Today, Timmons says A Better Chance is about changing the face of leadership in the U.S. to better reflect its demographics. Latinos are a much bigger part of the program; so are Asians. Middle class students have a shot, too. Hopefuls write essays, provide letters of recommendation, go through an intense interview process. And if they make it in, A Better Chance works to match them with its schools.
It's competitive. Last year, less than a quarter of the 25,000 students who applied were placed.
DERICK PERRY: What they're really looking for are students for whom education is a priority.
MERAJI: Derick Perry is the director of annual giving at Thacher. He also went there as A Better Chance scholar in the early '80s. He says, like Frank Hernandez and Mahogany Monette, he had to acclimate to boarding school.
PERRY: My home, coming from a typical African-America, was full of bluster and yelling and screaming, and that's not the norm in white dominant culture.
MERAJI: But Perry said he learned what he considers a valuable skill, one that helped him graduate from an Ivy League college and climb the economic ladder.
PERRY: It's very important for talented students of color to come to a school like this to learn the language of the dominant culture. They tend, at a place like Thacher, to have conversations that are muted and rely on rhetoric and to learn, A, that it wasn't threatening, and B, I can thrive in it, was a valuable tool for me when I went from Thacher to Dartmouth.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He died for Daisy, which is not surprising.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What do you mean that's not surprising?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Because his whole life has been revolved around her, so I think if he were to die a certain way...
MERAJI: Mahogany Monette is one of 14 students discussing "The Great Gatsby" in an AP English class at Thacher. The students sit around a large oval table and their teacher sits right alongside them. Mahogany says she loves her teachers and the small class sizes. But there have been times where she's felt very vulnerable.
MONETTE: For example, freshman year, we were reading Maya Angelou, and I was the only black student in my class and I had particular feelings I had about it, but sometimes you couldn't always feel like you could express them because you felt like you were expected to talk for all black people. I am one person. I can't speak for everyone. I can only speak for my experiences and what I've gone through personally.
MERAJI: Mahogany is telling the story of being the only black students in a prep school class 50 years after the creation of A Better Chance. The program's leaders say they want to help make stories like that obsolete in boarding schools and boardrooms. Shereen Marisol Meraji, NPR News.
SIMON: And the Thacher student we met at the start of this story, Frank Hernandez, graduates today. This fall he'll attend President Obama's alma mater, Occidental College in Southern California.

Happy couple return to Kensington Palace and prepare for hands-on parenting... with a little help from Granny Carole
- Duke and Duchess are planning to look after child without full-time nanny
- The Royal couple are determined to be hands-on parents for time being
- But grandmother Carole is also expected to lend a helping hand
- The Duchess plans to spend a great deal of time with her own family
Just a day after giving birth, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge beamed as they showed off their newborn son on the steps of St Mary's Hospital this evening.
But although Royal nannies and nursemaids have always played an important role in the lives of their princely charges it seems that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are determined to break the mould.
Unlike those before them, it seems that once William drove the young family away from the Lindo Wing in his black Range Rover, the couple will be hands on parents – with, of course, the help of Granny Carole.
Scroll down for videos
New born: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge show off their new son outside the hospital today, but what next for the young family?
The young couple wave to the crowds outside St Mary's today. it is thought that Catherine will break with tradition and care for the baby mostly by herself
Mother's love: The Duchess of Cambridge, pictured outside hospital this evening, is planning to look after her child without the help of a full-time nanny - although grandmother Carole Middleton, seen outside hospital today, is likely to lend a helping hand
The couple's intentions to look after the child themselves looked to be made clear as Prince William carried the baby from the Lido Wing in his car seat, strapped the newborn into the car and drove the vehicle away himself.
According to well-placed sources, the Duchess is planning to look after her child without the help of a full-time nanny for the foreseeable future.
means, friends say, that she may even start to take her young baby
along to meetings at Kensington Palace as Apartment 1A, their new
official London residence, is helpfully next door to their private
'Catherine and William have been so looking forward to becoming parents and are determined to be hands-on as much as possible,' the source said.
Grandparents: Carole and Michael Middleton (pictured at the hospital today) are set to become a 'non-negotiable' part of baby Cambridge's life
Support network: According to sources, the royal couple do not feel the need to have a full-time nanny because they already have their family around them
Home: The family are greeted by well-wishers as they arrive back at Kensington Palace in their car this evening
Out of hospital: The car carrying the Duke and Duchess and their son drives through the gates of Kensington Palace as the young family arrive home for the very first time
Shopping trip: The Duchess of Cambridge was spotted with her mother Carole in South Kensington, where they bought a Moses basket for the imminent arrival of the royal baby
'Of course the demands of their duties make this occasionally difficult and it is likely at some point they will need to employ a part-time nanny.
'But at this stage in their lives they don't feel the need for full-time childcare, not least because they have such a strong support network already around them.'
The Duchess has made clear that she plans to spend a great deal of time with her own family, now that the baby has been born.
Close bond: Kate, who is particularly close to her own mother Carole (pictured together in 2005), has made it clear she wants her family to play a big role in her new child's life
Siblings: Kate is also very close to younger sister Pippa, who she is pictured joking around with at last year's Wimbledon final
Indeed the Middletons are set to become, as Prince Charles once memorably described his former mistress, Camilla Parker Bowles, a 'non-negotiable' part of baby Cambridge's life.
Michael and Carole have just bought a £4.85million Georgian manor in rural Berkshire, with plenty of space for their first grandchild to run around.
A recent visitor reports that the indomitable Carole, who is touchingly 'over the moon' at the prospect of being a grandmother, has been busy overseeing the redecoration of the grand house – including the installation of a new kitchen and 'nursery-style' room.
Meanwhile Kate's affable father, Michael, has decided to strategically busy himself in the garden, putting up new fences and making the property as private and secure as possible for his first grandson or daughter.
Grandparents: The Prince of Wales and Camilla arrive at the hospital today to see their newborn grandson. Camilla is a 'non-negotiable' part of the youngster's life according to Prince Charles
Less involved: The Prince and his wife are likely to be far less hands on than the Middletons
Home: The Duchess of Cambridge may even start to take her young baby along to meetings at Kensington Palace (pictured)
Family portrait: Michael and Carole Middleton, seen in an official portrait of the Royal Wedding party, have welcomed son-in-law William with open arms
'While the baby may take William's surname, he or she will be very much a Middleton too. They are a close knit and loving clan,' one source said.
'Carole fully intends to be part of this baby's life and Catherine, for her part, plans to spend a lot of time with her parents, especially while she is waiting for the new apartment to be completed.
'Carole has always been a bit of a Tiger Mum and I am sure she will be a Tiger Grandmother too.
Precious arrival: Prince William is seen in the arms of his late mother, Diana Princess of Wales, watched by his father Prince Charles, grandparents the Queen and Prince Philip, and the Queen Mother
Delight: Kate Middleton is seen with her own grandparents, Carole's mother and father Dorothy and Ronald Goldsmith, on the day of her Christening
'The down side is that she can be a bit interfering, but that is far outweighed by how fantastically supportive she has always been of her children.
'At school she was always the one cheering longest and loudest on the sidelines.
'And thanks to them, the new baby will grow up enjoying family Sunday roasts and summer holidays as well as all the traditional royal rites of passage, which can surely only be a good thing?'
It must be stressed that for all his joking about suddenly feeling very old, Charles and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, are also hugely looking forward to the birth.
Although the prince isn't likely to be anywhere near such a hands-on grandparent as Michael and Carole Middleton, Camilla already has five young grandchildren of her own whom she sees on a very regular basis and Charles is sweetly fond of them.
But it is unlikely that he will be offering himself as a babysitter any time soon.
Royal mothers past and present: Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex, could not hide their delight at the birth of their daughter Lady Louise Windsor in 2003 - her brother James was born in 2007
Baby Beatrice: Prince Andrew, Duke of York and his then wife the Duchess of York cradle baby Beatrice in their arms after her Christening in 1988
Regal arrivals: Princess Anne is seen left with her son Peter as a child, and right, holding his little sister Zara at Badminton Horse Trials
Family portrait: An informal photograph of the then Princess Elizabeth, her husband the Duke of Edinburgh, and their children Charles and Anne at Clarence House
To a large extent the couple's childcare plans depend on whether Prince William decides to stay in the military or throws himself into royal duties full-time (once a fairly unlikely scenario but one, given the recent hospitalisation of the Duke of Edinburgh, that grows ever closer).
But if the need arises, William is well-placed to help his wife choose the right person for the job.
The prince himself spent much of his childhood in the care of a series of nannies, to whom he grew close.
In his early years he was shielded from much of the fallout from his parents' disintegrating marriage by his devoted nanny Barbara 'Baba' Barnes.
Bond: Barbara Barnes (pictured, left, carrying Prince William in 1983 and, right, leading him by the hand in 1984) forged a bond with the young prince and was one of the most important names on the guest list for his wedding
She forged a loving bond with the young prince but was said to have been dismissed on 'the flimsiest of excuses' when William was four after his mother, Princess Diana, became jealous of their relationship.
William never forgot her, however, and, 25 years later, Barbara Barnes was one of the most important names on the guest list for his wedding.
She was succeeded by the indomitable Olga Powell who was 52 and recently widowed when she first came to work for Diana and the Prince of Wales in the royal nursery when William was just six months old.
Her firm but fair approach to parenting – she wasn't above giving William and Harry a clip round the ear when they misbehaved – meant she was a favourite of both the boys and their parents.
She was one of the first to learn about the Prince and Princess of Wales's separation when William wrote to her from Eton to express his sadness.
And even after she had retired to her semi in Hertfordshire, she never really left the Royal Family.
Trusted: Olga Powell, who had a reputation for being firm but fair, was a favourite of the young princes and their parents, and remained close to the boys as they grew older
She was at Harry's confirmation at Eton College chapel, at William's 21st celebrations at Windsor Castle, and also his passing out at Sandhurst. Mrs Powell was also a guest of honour at William's wedding in April 2011.
Despite witnessing at first hand the royal family's most private trials and tribulations, she was the soul of discretion - and took every one of their secrets to her grave when she died last October.
William was devastated at her passing and pulled out of a hugely high profile visit to Newcastle in order to attend Olga's funeral, leaving his wife to meet the engagements on her own.
Following his divorce from Diana, Princess of Wales, Prince Charles employed another member of his staff, Tiggy Legge-Bourke, to act as a nanny cum mentor to his two young sons.
Diana was livid when the affectionate Sloane memorably described them as 'my babies' – sparking a life-long feud between the two women – but William was always grateful for her support and her son, Tom Pettifer, was a page boy when he and Kate walked down the aisle.
His own father, Prince Charles, was equally devoted to his nanny, unassuming Scotswoman Mabel Anderson, particularly given his notoriously fragile relationship with the Queen and Prince Philip, whom he views as rather cold and laissez-faire parents.
When she eventually retired, the prince secured her a grace-and-favour home in a wing of Frogmore House, Windsor Great Park, and personally supervised its re-decoration using his own designer.
The Queen herself was equally devoted to her former nursemaid, Margaret 'Bobo' MacDonald who went on to become her dresser and all-round gatekeeper.
Support: Tiggy Legge-Bourke, pictured with the Prince of Wales and his young sons at Zurich Airport in 1994, was nanny to William and Harry and personal assistant to Charles between 1993 and 97
Aide: Tiggy Legge-Bourke, seen left on a family ski trip to Klosters in 2000, and right in London in 1999, was nanny-cum-mentor to Princes William and Harry and an aide to their father
Ties: Tom Pettifer, the youngest son of Tiggy Legge-Bourke, seen second from right, was a pageboy at William and Kate's wedding in April 2011
In all, she remained in service with the monarch for an astonishing 67 years.
such senior members of the Royal Family, the Duke and Duchess have
surprisingly little official help outside of their 11-strong private
office which organises their diaries and co-ordinates their official
They recently poached one of the Queen's top housemaids, Antonella Fresolone, to become their full-time housekeeper at Kensington Palace.

In November 2012 I was arrested in San Diego for drunk in public and released 8 hours after my arrest with no further proceedings. Now I find myself on this website called whosarrested.com with my personal information and stating that I was arrested in November etc. is this legal? And is there any way I can get this removed as it is not good for my future career. I wasn't charged with anything so I don't see why this information is online for everyone to see. I'm from Denmark and was only in San Diego for a period of 6 months. In Denmark it is illegal to share that kind of information publicly.
You can demand a written certificate from the arresting law enforcement agency pursuant to California Penal Code Sections 851.6. and 849.5 that the "arrest" is a detention only because no charges were brought. In fact, an arrest becomes a detention only by operation of law when no charges are brought although that may happen upon the running of the statute of limitations. With a certificate from the arresting agency that your arrest was a detention only, the website may be willing to remove the entry.
If necessary, you may want to use the Avvo search features to pull up the many previous Q and A posts pertaining to mugshots.com. The issues are very similar. A few attorneys who have posted on that issue claim to have had some success at compelling removal, and you may want to reach out to some of them.
It is unfortunately legal. The information about your arrest no doubt originally appeared as a public record on an official government site or it could have come from a newspaper mention of the arrest. There are ways to deal with this, but I can not give you any specifics. I'm going to edit your question to the Practice Area "Internet" which is where this question has been addressed quite a few times in the past. I hope the change will get you the sort of information and guidance you want.

BJP core committee meeting will also be held to discuss State Budget and finalise party programmes
Close on the heels of the former Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa convening an executive committee meeting of the Karnataka Janata Paksha on January 4 to discuss ways to topple the Jagadish Shettar government, the Bharatiya Janata Party State in-charge Dharmendra Pradhan is arriving in Bangalore on January 5 to evolve a counter-strategy.
The BJP's core committee will also meet on the occasion to take stock of political developments. Mr. Yeddyurappa, who is jittery over Mr. Shettar getting ready to present the State Budget and in the process building a political constituency, has threatened that he will topple the government before the presentation of the budget by convincing MLAs from his camp to quit.
The BJP has already commenced efforts to woo the rebel MLAs from Mr. Yeddyurappa's camp. The BJP is keen on presenting the election-year State Budget as it can be projected as a sort of poll manifesto.
As of now, the party wants the budget to be presented around February 8.
In this regard, the core committee is expected to deliberate on various aspects related to the budget, including the prominent programmes to be included to woo different communities and sections of society, besides using it as a political tool to derive poll advantage.
According to sources, the core committee will finalise various activities and strategies to be taken up by the party till the announcement of the Assembly elections to galvanise its organisation.
Jaitley coming too
The core committee is expected to meet again on January 20 when party key strategist Arun Jaitley will visit Bangalore to finalise some of the poll strategies. Mr. Jaitley will address a convention of advocates at the Palace Grounds. The BJP is trying to ensure the attendance of about 4,000 advocates for the convention, which is being organised to woo various professionals.
Meanwhile, BJP national spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman is addressing a media workshop for the party's prominent workers in Bangalore on January 3.

CHICAGO – If you can remember the 1990s outside of childhood, you are in the glow of middle age, so congratulations. The Brown Paper Box Co. theater ensemble takes us back to those thrilling days of yesteryear with "Spike Heels," a relationship comedy centering on the co-mingling antics of two couples, with a slight nod toward George Bernard Shaw and the play "Pygmalion" (or its musical counterpart, "My Fair Lady").

Film Review: 'Big Hero 6' is Sorely Lacking the Charm Component
Submitted by PatrickMcD on November 8, 2014 - 9:41amCHICAGO – "Big Hero 6" is a dark revenge thriller masquerading as a kids movie. Walt Disney Studios takes a few pages from its corporate cousin Marvel, while creating this new animated adventure. It has its moments, but not quite enough of them to make this anything more than a minor entry in the Disney legacy.
Film Review: James Cromwell, Genevieve Bujold Ground Moving 'Still Mine'
Submitted by BrianTT on July 25, 2013 - 12:40pmCHICAGO – Into the "getting old sucks" genre with award-winners like Sarah Polley's "Away From Her" and Michael Haneke's "Amour," we can add "Still Mine," opening tomorrow, July 26, 2013, in Chicago.
TV Review: Take Harrowing Trip to 'American Horror Story: Asylum'
Submitted by BrianTT on October 17, 2012 - 7:41amCHICAGO – When we got to the end of FX's excellent "American Horror Story" and nearly all of the characters were dead, a natural question arose — what the Hell do they do for season two? Welcome to "American Horror Story: Asylum," a completely new tale with some of the same ensemble from the first season but a new setting, new characters, and new story but the same goal — to rattle your senses and put you on edge in the middle of the week.
Blu-ray Review: Mediocre Release for Academy Award-Winning 'The Artist'
Submitted by BrianTT on July 2, 2012 - 2:37pmCHICAGO – Wouldn't you think that the release of the last Best Picture winner from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences would be an event? I know we've reached a point where public opinion and the Oscars are arguably further apart than ever before but wouldn't think that Sony would treat their most-respected film critically with "Special Edition" degrees of Blu-ray features. The release of "The Artist" last week is a decent one but not what one would expect given the pedigree of the film.
Interview: Actor James Cromwell on Role in Oscar-Nominated 'The Artist'
Submitted by PatrickMcD on January 30, 2012 - 11:31amCHICAGO – The character actor has always been a fixture in Hollywood culture, and there are few as unique as James Cromwell. He's had many memorable roles in films like "Babe," "L.A. Confidential" and within the "Star Trek" legacy. Currently, he portrays Clifton in the Oscar-nominated "The Artist."
Film Review: 'The Artist' is Magical Ode to Old Hollywood
Submitted by BrianTT on December 19, 2011 - 3:17pmCHICAGO – "The Artist" is the kind of film for which a critic feels an added responsibility. The fact is that I know that a large number of readers won't go anywhere near a movie that is described as "a black & white ode to silent films." Eek. Sounds like torture.
Interview: Director Michel Hazanavicius Becomes 'The Artist'
Submitted by PatrickMcD on November 21, 2011 - 10:50amCHICAGO – The sheer craft of the actor's expression is what drove the early "silent" film industry, before syncing up the "talking." Director Michel Hazanavicius has a new film opening called "The Artist," in which he explores the expression of early moviemaking, during the era of its transition to talking, and it is rendered as a silent film.
Film Review: Diane Lane a Champion in Literal Horse Opera 'Secretariat'
Submitted by PatrickMcD on October 8, 2010 - 1:51amCHICAGO – In real life, we cling to the notion that the inconceivable can happen, that magical probability can penetrate the mendacity of everyday existence, but it rarely if ever happens. That is what makes the new film "Secretariat" so appealing, that 37 years ago the impossible did happen, through the heart of a horse and his believers. Diane Lane and John Malkovich lead the charge.
Blu-Ray Review: Forgotten 'Surrogates' Worth Another Look
Submitted by mattmovieman on January 27, 2010 - 10:19amCHICAGO – We have grown accustomed to experiencing the world through technology. One of the great gifts cinema grants us is the ability to experience the world vicariously through the lives of others. The reason why mainstream movie stars are unnaturally beautiful and glamorous is because they represent how we'd like to envision ourselves.
Blu-Ray Review: Oliver Stone's 'W.' Disappointing Film, Great Blu-Ray
Submitted by BrianTT on February 19, 2009 - 8:08pmBlu-Ray Rating: 3.5/5.0 |
CHICAGO – What happened to Oliver Stone? Despite strong performances by Josh Brolin, James Cromwell, and Elizabeth Banks, "W." is one of the most inert, middle-of-the-road movies that this once-controversial auteur has ever made, helped on the home market by an excellent Blu-Ray release but still a little "eh" as a film.

Research Journey of a Social Scientist
The Case of Emotional Intelligence at Work
By Wong Chi-Sum
Routledge – 2015 – 256 pages
Routledge – 2015 – 256 pages
Emotional intelligence is a very popular concept since it was made known to the general public in 1995. However, it was under severe criticisms among scientific researchers and a lot of them did not believe that it should be accepted by scientists as true knowledge.
The author of this book, who is one of the pioneers in this topic, spent sixteen years to study this concept. Together with other researchers, they gradually changed the conclusion of early researchers. Using rigorously scientific standards, this research team demonstrated that emotional intelligence is an intelligence dimension that has significant impact on various life outcomes such as life satisfaction and job performance. They developed testable theoretical framework for emotional intelligence in the workplace, and attempted to show that the trainability of emotional intelligence is larger than traditional intelligence concept.
The book looks at, not only the scientific reports, but all the stories behind some of the rigorous scientific studies in the author's 16-year journey. Their choice of research designs and how the designs are suitable to provide scientific evidence to demonstrate the validity of emotional intelligence are also described. Through this book, the process of scientific enquiry and important issues concerning the emotional intelligence concept are revealed in details by vivid stories and rigorous scientific reports.
Part 1: The Establishment of a Scientific Rigorous variable 1. Background on our Choice of Emotional Intelligence and the Design of Studies Part 2: Measuring Emotional Intelligence 2. The Need for Alternative Measures of Emotional Intelligence and the Design of Measures Part 3: Impact of Emotional Intelligence and our Lives 3. The Relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Important Life Variables Part 4: Emotional Intelligence and Leadership 4. Leaders with High Level of Emotional Intelligence Part 5: Is Emotional Intelligence Trainable? 5. The Implications of Trainability of Intelligence and the Difficulty in Demonstrating whether Emotional Intelligence can be Trained Part 6: What Else about Emotional Intelligence should be Studied? 6. Other Critical Issues
Wong Chi-sum is Professor at the department of management of Chinese University of Hong Kong. He received his Ph.D from the University of Purdue and he researches on job analysis, design and performance apprasials.

Without revealing WAY too much personal information, I had secret knowledge of Tim Horton's Canada doughnuts, and many chances to stare at a poster of them for numerous days. "It's a sweet, nasty tease. Only available in Canada! I'll get you one day, you maple leaf dusted delicious objects of deliciousness!"
Enter a co-worker having to make a one-day trip to Toronto for meetings. "Please, please, please, please, PLEEEEEAAASSEEEEEE bring me back some Canada doughnuts!! I'll do AAAAANYTHIIIING including cleaning up my work space! PROMISE!" Extensive bargaining occurred in the days up to this trip including an offer to borrow my mom's car to drive my co-worker to a Long Island home, in the middle of a school night. Finally, on the day of the trip, still unsure of whether I would be obtaining these Canadian goodies, one last email: "Gentle reminder: I love Canada. I love doughnuts. I love Canada doughnuts."
And you can guess what was waiting for me on my desk the next morning. Four plain Tim Horton's doughnuts, smuggled across the unprotected border, coated in white icing, covered with little red maple leaves. "They were fresh when we got them," which leads me to believe that at least one was eaten in their home country. Best doughnuts ever? No. Being able to eat something off the American Tim HoHo's menu? Priceless. And I still haven't cleaned my work space. Oops.
If you want to eat their American cousins, the Red, White, and Bloom, find your nearest Tim HoHo's location here.

Write a ReviewExcellent Value
By Lisa C. from Ridgway, PA on Mar 26, 2011
Love these pulls, very heavy, feel expensive, my sister-in-law spent over $300 on her pulls and when she saw ours she was shocked at what we paid for them. Would buy them again and again.

Eleanor or Elinor
We have Lilla (Lil-la short i sound like Lily) and Vivienne. We are planning to name a third girl Eleanor/Elinor. I prefer the Eleanor looks but wonder if I should stick with i theme and use the Elinor spelling. We pronounce it with the i sound not the a sound so that also makes me wonder if we should spell it with the I. Thoughts?

I'm doing data scraping calls with an urllib2, yet they each take around 1 seconds to complete. I was trying to test if I could multi-thread the URL-call loop into threading with different offsets.
I'm doing this now with my update_items() method, where first and second parameter are the offset and limit to do loops:
import threading
t1 = threading.Thread(target=trade.update_items(1, 100))
t2 = threading.Thread(target=trade.update_items(101, 200))
t3 = threading.Thread(target=trade.update_items(201, 300))
Like the code, I tried to commment out the join() to prevent waiting of the threads, but it seems I get the idea of this library wrong. I inserted print() functions into the update_items() method, funny tho it shows that it's still looping just in serial routine and not all 3 threads in parallel, like I wanted to achieve.
My normal scraping protocol takes about 5 hours to complete and it's only very small pieces of data, but the HTTP call always takes some time. I want to multi-thread this task at least a few times to shorten the fetching at least to around 30-45minutes.

What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
Writing and hosting pub trivia, writing a musical, walking dogs,
making elaborate, fancy food on a whim. Playing in an Eagles
tribute band.
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
I'm good at many things. Music, food (both making and eating),
befriending pets (and controlling big dogs), making people feel
smart, or dumb.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I smell good if you get close enough. (Although admittedly,
occassionally I smell like dog slobber.)
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
Movies, TV, and books are about escape for me, so sci-fi, and
fantasy are where I spend most of my time.
Music is my life and chosen profession. I could write for hours about music. I will not. I know an insane amount of music trivia. I listen mostly to power-pop, progressive, and any well written song. It would be easier to say that I really *don't* like Dave Matthews, Jack White and Nirvana. (What? Did he just say that?)

The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
My cat, my guitar. That's about it at the core.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
Lyrics and dialogue. And whether I REALLY need an egg to make
pancake batter, (not really, bananas, butter, syrup, chocolate
chips, whipped cream, yes, an egg, no). Also, am I the only person
on OKC who hasn't been to Machu Picchu?
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Looking for some good live music.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I sometimes use a hair flatiron on my shirt collars.
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
I shouldn't have to give you reasons right? You do or you don't.
Wanna go bowling? Make sushi? See a good band? Help me think of
trivia questions? Send the message! (Or more likely, respond to
mine.) I don't drink, but really don't care if you do. I'll drive!

Christina Aguilera Vows To Make The Emas Dirrty
Christina Aguilera is promising to live up to her raunchy image when she hosts the MTV EUROPE MUSIC AWARDS tonight (06NOV03), by lining up a series of skimpy outfits.
The DIRRTY star - who is often criticised for her flesh-bearing style - hints she has some shocks in store for viewers of the star-studded event in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Christina says, "I'm always in the spotlight for what I wear, and sometimes for what I don't wear!
"It'll just be fun, I mean it'll be an event where anything goes. It's going to be an exciting night, a big night you know, but I'm running the show!"
