My first for the New York Times
Fred Norgaard commissioned me for this page one of the restaurant section of the New York Times. The piece was written by Frank Bruni; a former critic for the paper, about the joys of repeat visits to favourite and familiar eating places.
I'll be whipping up an illustration live on stage and giving away all my secrets along with a whole bunch of very talented practitioners at the Sydney Field Trip.
Check out all the details here. It should be an excellent day of revelations.
TICHY ice cream posters in Vienna
I was overjoyed to be commissioned by TICHY ice-cream in Vienna to produce their annual and much anticipated poster series. They produce three every year to coincide with the beginning of spring.
Working with Christian Satek of Satek design, the brief specified the background colours and the products to be depicted. There needed to be a theme or story in common with all three which will be seen individually around the city and as a group of three. Great fun!
The brief was 'Top 100' plan advisors. Leaders of the pack. So I had trouble going past wolves as an image, but there had already been a wolf illustration commissioned for inside the mag so the horses won in the end.
I knew this one was too silly for words but I popped it into the mix just in case.

Light water reactor sustainability (LWRS) nondestructive evaluation (NDE) Workshops were held at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) during July 30th to August 2nd, 2012. This activity was conducted to help develop the content of the NDE R&D roadmap for the materials aging and degradation (MAaD) pathway of the LWRS program. The workshops focused on identifying NDE R&D needs in four areas: cables, concrete, reactor pressure vessel, and piping.
The purpose of the non-destructive evaluation (NDE) R&D Roadmap for Cables is to support the Materials Aging and Degradation (MAaD) R&D pathway. A workshop was held to gather subject matter experts to develop the NDE R&D Roadmap for Cables. The focus of the workshop was to identify the technical gaps in detecting aging cables and predicting their remaining life expectancy. The workshop was held in Knoxville, Tennessee, on July 30, 2012, at Analysis and Measurement Services Corporation (AMS) headquarters.
The Department of Energy's (DOE's) Light Water Reactor Sustainability (LWRS) Program is a five year effort that works to develop the fundamental scientific basis to understand, predict, and measure changes in materials and systems, structure, and components as they age in environments associated with continued long-term operation of existing commercial nuclear power reactors. This year, the Materials Aging and Degradation (MAaD) Pathway of this program has placed emphasis on emerging nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods that support these objectives.
Several international organizations have made significant progress in the characterization and performance evaluation of other disposal design options and host rock characteristics (clay/shale, granite), most of which were very different from those studied in the U.S. The DOE recognizes that close international collaboration is a beneficial and costeffective strategy for advancing disposal science. This report describes the active collaboration opportunities available to U.S. researchers, and presents specific cooperative research activities that have been recently initiated within DOE's disposal research program.
This work plan proposes to build a systematic knowledge base for the thermal aging behavior of cast stainless steels (CASSs) within a limited time of five years. The final output of execution of the plan is expected to provide conclusive predictions for the integrity of the CASS components of LWR power plants during the extended service life up to and beyond 60 years.
The document describes the initial work on designing and developing requirements for a total system performance assessment (TSPA) model that can support preliminary safety assessments for a mined geologic repository for high-level waste (HLW) and spent nuclear fuel (SNF) in salt host rock at a generic site. A preliminary generic salt TSPA model for HLW/SNF disposal has been developed and tested for an isothermal repository in salt, for emplaced waste that is assumed to have no decay heat; for salt repositories containing heat-generating HLW/SNF, the present study develops model requirements based on features, events, and processes (FEPs) screening and proposed sensitivity analyses for heat-generating waste. These may better guide the construction of a more representative salt TSPA model.
The study summarizes the initial work on numerical modeling, simulations, and experimental results related to nuclear waste storage in a salt repository. The study reflects the project's preliminary effort at simulating the fluid flow and heat transport processes, before treating the fully coupled thermal-mechanical-hydrologic-chemical (TMHC) coupled processes in the future.
The natural barrier system (NBS) is an integral part of a geologic nuclear waste repository. The report describes progress in development of an integrated modeling framework that can be used for systematically analyzing the performance of a natural barrier system and identifying key factors that control the performance. This framework is designed as an integrated tool for prioritization and programmatic decisions.
This report summarizes research activities on engineered barrier system (EBS) model integration with the generic disposal system model (GDSM), and used fuel degradation and radionuclide mobilization (RM) in support of the EBS evaluation and tool development within the UFD campaign.
This roadmap is intended to advance deep borehole disposal (DBD) from its current conceptual status to potential future deployment as a disposal system for spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level waste (HLW). The objectives of the DBD RD&D roadmap include providing the technical basis for fielding a DBD demonstration project, defining the scientific research activities associated with site characterization and postclosure safety, and defining the engineering demonstration activities associated with deep borehole drilling, completion, and surrogate waste canister emplacement.
Safety is central to the design, licensing, operation, and economics of Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs). Consequently, the ability to better characterize and quantify safety margin holds the key to improved decision making about light water reactor design, operation, and plant life extension. A systematic approach to characterization of safety margins and the subsequent margins management options represents a vital input to the licensee and regulatory analysis and decision making that will be involved.
The Nuclear Power 2010 (NP 2010) Construction and Operating License/Design Certification (COL/DC) Demonstration program together with the financial incentives provided by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 are the two primary reasons why a number of license applications for new nuclear construction are before the NRC today, and why the first new nuclear plants in over 30 years are under construction in the United States.
Clay/shale has been considered as potential host rock for geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste throughout the world. Coupled thermal, hydrological, mechanical, and chemical (THMC) processes have a significant impact on the long-term safety of a clay repository. This report documents results from three R&D activities: (1) implementation and validation of constitutive relationships, (2) development of a discrete fracture network (DFN) model for investigating coupled processes in the excavation damaged zone, and (3) development of a THM model for the Full-Scale Emplacement Experiment tests at Mont Terri, Switzerland, for the purpose of model validation. One major goal is to provide a better understanding of the evolution of the excavation damage zone in clay repositories.
While both wet and dry storage have been shown to be safe options for storing UNF, the focus of the program is on dry storage of commercial UNF at reactor or centralized locations. This report focuses on the knowledge gaps concerning extended storage identified in numerous domestic and international investigations and provides the UFDC's gap description, any alternate gap descriptions, the rankings by the various organizations, evaluation of the priority assignment, and UFDC-recommended action based on the comparison.
Development and implementation of future advanced fuel cycles including those that recycle fuel materials, use advanced fuels different from current fuels, or partition and transmute actinide radionuclides, will impact the waste management system. The UFD Campaign can reasonably conclude that advanced fuel cycles, in combination with partitioning and transmutation, which remove actinides, will not materially alter the performance, the spread in dose results around the mean, the modeling effort to include significant features, events, and processes (FEPs) in the performance assessment, or the characterization of uncertainty associated with a geologic disposal system in the regulatory environment of the US.
NEUP Foreign Travel Request Form
The United States (U.S.) currently utilizes a once-through fuel cycle where used nuclear fuel is stored onsite in either wet pools or in dry storage systems with ultimate disposal envisioned in a deep mined geologic repository. This report provides an estimate of potential waste inventory and waste form characteristics for the DOE UNF and HLW and a variety of commercial fuel cycle alternatives in order to support subsequent system-level evaluations of disposal system performance.
The scorecard includes news updates, regulatory status, reactor design certification, early site permits, new plant construction progress, and new nuclear plants under construction.
This Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS) quarterly report includes highlights, a spotlight on personal achievements, accomplishments, milestones and a technical spotlight on multiscale material model development for fuel performance codes.
Today, welding is widely used for repair, maintenance and upgrade of nuclear reactor components. As a critical technology to extend the service life of nuclear power plants beyond 60 years, weld technology must be further developed to meet new challenges associated with the aging of the plants, such as control and mitigation of the detrimental effects of weld residual stresses and repair of highly irradiated materials. To meet this goal, fundamental understanding
The report is intended to help assess and establish the technical basis for extended long‐term storage and transportation of used nuclear fuel. It provides: 1) an overview of the ISFSI license renewal process based on 10 CFR 72 and the guidance provided in NUREG‐1927; 2) definitions and terms for structures and components in DCSSs, materials, environments, aging effects, and aging mechanisms; 3) TLAAs and AMPs, respectively, that have been developed for managing aging effects on the SSCs important to safety in the dry cask storage system designs; and 4) AMPs and TLAAs for the SSCs that ar
Nuclear power currently provides a significant fraction of the United States' non- carbon emitting power generation. In future years, nuclear power must continue to generate a significant portion of the nation's electricity to meet the growing electricity demand, clean energy goals, and ensure energy independence. New reactors will be an essential part of the expansion of nuclear power. However, given limits on new builds imposed by economics and industrial capacity, the extended service of the existing fleet will also be required.
In the United States currently there are approximately 104 operating light water reactors. Of these, 69 are pressurized water reactors (PWRs) and 35 are boiling water reactors (BWRs). In 2007, the 104 light-water reactors (LWRs) in the United States generated approximately 100 GWe, equivalent to 20% of total US electricity production. Most of the US reactors were built before 1970 and the initial design lives of most of the reactors are 40 years.
The report presents information related to the development of a fundamental understanding of disposal-system performance in a range of environments for potential wastes that could arise from future nuclear fuel cycle alternatives. It addresses selected aspects of the development of computational modeling capability for the performance of storage and disposal options. Topics include radionuclide interaction with geomedia, colloid-facilitated radionuclide transport (Pu colloids), interaction between iodide (accumulate in the interlayer regions of clay minerals) and a suite of clay minerals
The assessment of generic EBS concepts and design optimization to harbor various disposal configurations and waste types needs advanced approaches and methods to analyze barrier performance. The report addresses: 1) Overview of the importance of THMC processes to barrier performance, and international collaborations; 2) THMC processes in clay barriers; 3) experimental studies of clay stability and clay-metal interactions at high temperatures and pressures; 4) thermodynamic modeling and database development; 5) Molecular Dynamics (MD) study of clay hydration at ambient and elevated temperatures; and 6) coupled thermal-mechanical (TM) and thermo-hydrological (TH) modeling in salt.

5 Mass Effect Is Amazing!!!Posted: 26/01/2010This is a complex RPG and a shooter. But funnily enough, unlike most games which span 2 genres, it doesnt do either 1 bad. Leveling up your character to level 60, (802,000 exp) is life consuming and so much fun. The armor upgrades and constant weapon upgrades are well balanced and slowly get better as you level up. You make your own choices and are given dialog options to make your character react to things the way you want him to. Good or Bad, its your character. And the choices you make in your interactions with people in the game will impact the way your game turns out at a later point in your playthrough. This aspect of the game is thoroughly satisfying, and gives you a sence of creative freedom on your character, and makes you feel like this guy really is YOU in this space saga. The game is a huge openworld, chock full of planets to explore in the vast dark eternity known as space, You command your own spaceship and travel the galaxy kicking uber alien rectum!!! You kill robots, aliens and any other intelligent life in the galaxy that you wanna blast away, "just cause they gave you a funny look"!!! The story is EPIC, you will feel like your in a movie after a few hours and this is one of the most the most cinematic games ive ever played. There are a few bugs, like going down a mountain in an uncharted planet on foot, on some planets you will just get stuck and have to reload the game, it feels like there was a little too much empty planet exploration, the way the game organises the items you pick up leaves a lot to be desired, and the elevators are slow. However none of these things are frequent or relevant enough to take away from the whole experience, this game is so amazing. When you recieve your copy, do yourself a favour and cancel 2 days off your calander cause you will be sucked into the universe of mass effect . (Did you see what i done there at the end (oooooh yeah thats good "pun" idge)..... RECOMMENDED
5 Bayonetta is amazing!!Posted: 26/01/2010This game is fun, the combat is frantic yet balanced, the game looks beautiful, and is very well presented with no drop in framerate even when theres lots going on on screen. The combat system is simple enough to please noobs to the genre populated by games such as devil may cry, god of war, and ninja gaiden, yet complex enough to please/satisfy the most hardcore fans of such games i just mentioned. this is a game for anyone who likes FUN!!! I recommend it cause it is a lot of fun. Plus there are epic boss battles, and who doesnt love them!!!! Overall every aspect moulds together to create a beautiful looking, frantic, engaging artistic, very polished & exceptionally Fun game. RECOMMENDED.

Any help would be appreciated!
[edited by: DanA at 6:57 pm (utc) on Nov. 6, 2006]
4~css <edit>I suppose installing IE7 with IE6 as a stand alone would be the proper way to do this?</edit>
Wonder if I should go with the stand alone IE7 instead?
I could load it on the kids pc, IE7 that is, but then I would be runing up and down the stairs, not good, lol
DanA, thanks for the link, appreciate it greatly. PIE is a great site.
(*grumble* stupid OS-tied browser *grumble*)
Ok, so I am confused right now.
IF I leave IE6 on here, and install 7 as a stand alone, the conditional comments won't work, or do work? Any information either way to back up the statments? Links to resources as I am sure I am not the only one that is trying to figure this out.

Combine cumin, poultry seasoning, celery seed, and pepper, sprinkle or rub over chicken.
Place chicken into cooker and lay pats of butter on top. Cover with peas, carrots, and onion. Cover evenly with cream of chicken and cream of mushroom. Add chicken broth.
Cover, and cook for 6 hours on High or 8 hours on Low. Roughly 2 hrs before serving (at the 4 hr mark on high or the 6 hr mark on low), shred the chicken and return it to pot. Open the dough and tear each precut biscuit into 4 smaller pieces. Place the torn biscuit dough on top of the chicken mixture and make sure that you push them down into the liquid mixture a little, so that they get cooked on the tops, too and saturated with the chicken flavor. Cook until the dough is no longer raw in center (about 2 hrs). If you cooked it on Low, turn it up to high now for the last 2 hours so dough cooks thoroughly. Take top off crock last 20-30 min to dry out dumplings they seem too dough-y.
If too dry, add chicken broth. If too watery, add cornstarch mixed in a little broth.
These are definitely dumplings. Consider baking biscuits separately and pour the chicken mixture over the hot biscuits if you prefer large, fluffy, browned biscuits (chicken and biscuits).

It's a surf style shower shack.
This is just ridiculously cool. Usually when an outdoor shower is involved, tramping through the grass in your towel to the backdoor is a part of the experience.
Like it would be with this outdoor shower.
This one only works if your neighbors are really far away, or if you're an exhibitionist.
I should have known my favorite house on houzz would have an outdoor shower!
Not a very long walk back into the house, but not much privacy either!
Love the tile work here!
This house has an outdoor bathtub. Not a hot tub, a tub tub. I like this idea. I need to move somewhere where I can make this happen! It's like bathing in a treehouse!

As always, thanks to our hardworking volunteers, employees, and supporters. Without you, our work would not be possible. This document summarizes some of the activities that ICS has been involved with over the course of 2014. Our accomplishment this year include:
Shelter Improvement
· Improved signage for the shelter on US6 and on shelter grounds
· The board has revisited and implemented a new strategic plan for the ICS organization for 2014-2017 which includes goals related to establishing new building facilities, increasing adoptions and fundraising, and exploring new ways to introduce new employees and volunteers into a more cohesively structured organization.
· Continued work on determining new building potential for the shelter, including the addition of new members to the building ad hoc committee who have been doing in-depth research on how to maximize our efforts and get the most from our land and available funds.
· Establishment of improved cleaning methods at the shelter with the use of Accel cleaning products, designed to improve the cleanliness of the shelter as well as disinfect from germs and viruses more completely than previous techniques that have been used
· Existing building improvements include the use of surfaces that can be easily cleaned throughout the shelter to minimize germs, the installation of a new stainless steel washtub, the addition of a new washing machine, and the installation of new lockable cabinetry for medicators' use.
· Implementation of extended adoption hours and adoption pricing specials during certain times to year to coincide with Best Friends events and to increase adoptions in general. These events have resulted in a notable increase in adoptions as compared to 2013, especially in the summer months.
· An increase in the total number of adoptions of nearly 10% as compared to 2013
· The compilation of a complete policy and procedure manual for the shelter and its operations
· Establishment of a permanent credit card machine at the shelter, which has taken in over $3000 of additional income for ICS since August.
· Addition of improved online volunteer and adoption applications, which have increased the number of both adopters and volunteers coming to ICS by over 20% in the six months since implementation.
· Grants from the Unity Foundation ($1800), Bissell Foundation ($5000), Banfield Community Trust ($6000), Crown Point Community Foundation ($1000), and Best Friends ($500) have been attained for helping people and pets in our community.
Outreach and Fundraising
· Establishment of ICS as a Best Friends No More Homeless Pets Network Partner, which includes the ability to participate in Best Friends national adoption events such as Back in Black.
· Increased connection with Purdue North Central to give students service learning opportunities and increase ICS volunteer base. In addition, ICS volunteers will begin generating additional revenue for ICS with the help of PNC by offering workshops and classes targeted toward pet owners and non-profit organization leaders through the Graduate and Extended Learning Office. The first of these programs, a Grant Writing Workshop, will be held between February and April 2015.
· ICS has participated in a number of events around Porter and LaPorte county this year, increasing exposure in the community.
· Establishment of the Instagram account "@indcatsociety" and maintenance thanks to Purdue North Central service learning students.
· We have been featured in two Public Television interviews which were handled by Board President, Staci Trekles, with the possibility of more in the future.
· We have had two professional writers contact us, Dee Dunheim and Nomi Berger, that want to help get our word out by writing appeals, fundraiser information, cat bios, etc all 'free of charge' to the ICS because they want to help us help the kitties. So far they have helped with Greg's foster cats, the Black Cat Boogie, and a medical/dental fundraiser.
Volunteers and Committees
· Implementation of formalized volunteer orientations for new volunteers.
· Establishment of more clear and complete foster care program, including foster parent orientation and procedures, and a complete clean-up of foster care records thanks to Diane Buche, foster care coordinator.
As always, the work does not end there, however. There is still more yet to be done, and in 2015, we would like to work toward:
1. Increasing adoptions by continuing to work on expanding adoption hours and improving adoption processes.
2. Increasing public awareness of ICS efforts through continuing to work in the community and attend marketing and fundraising events.
3. Work with Purdue North Central to establish more courses and workshops to be offered to the public through the Graduate and Extended Learning Office.
4. Maintain and continue to improve the TNR program to ensure that cats in the community are spayed and neutered to reduce unwanted pet overpopulation.
5. Explore additional grant opportunities in order to help ICS increase its ability to help people in the community, adopt more animals, build a better shelter facility, and hire a Shelter Director to oversee operations.
6. Continue efforts to research the feasibility of new shelter facilities on our current grounds, and identify a solid plan to move forward.
Congratulations to our newly elected board members, who will begin their new terms in January:
President: Anastasia Trekles
Recording Secretary: Judy Dean
Treasurer: Natalie Cebulski
At-Large Members: Joan Hildebrand & Jason Petrovich

Two Broke Interns: Hello, Milwaukee!
Danielle Stobb and Maggie Polsean are students at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. They came up with the idea of 2 Broke Interns as a way to share Milwaukee from a student's perspective. Follow the blog each week for stories, recommendations and advice for successfully exploring Milwaukee on a budget.
Danielle Stobb:
I'm a broke intern and come May, when I earn my journalism degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, I'll be an even more broke college graduate. It took me three years to graduate, even with a change in my major. My parents are proud and my bank account is thankful.
My hometown is Green Lake. It's a don't-blink-or-you'll-miss-it tourist town with an even smaller school. My graduating class was 20 students, most of which I knew from kindergarten. Growing up in Green Lake is one of the reasons I chose to attend college in Wisconsin's biggest city. Milwaukee has so many places to go, things to see, people to meet … living in Green Lake was a mundane routine I was ready to break.
I have a type-A personality through and through. My desk is filled with post-it reminders and to-do lists. A Keurig sits nearby to brew my favorite chai. I click the refresh button on my email consistently.
Over the past three years of living in Milwaukee I've learned a few tricks that have helped me save money. I quickly realized my idea of purchasing groceries from Whole Foods (although so good) costs more, so I instead became a frequent visitor to Trader Joe's. I also learned that using public transportation is a great alternative to expensive parking on campus. It also means is engaging in small talk with the overly friendly riders. And as for dining out? I tend to order something I know will supply leftovers for tomorrow's lunch. If it's good enough to eat once, I'll eat it twice!
I also save money in a rare way that most college students couldn't fathom: I don't party. In fact, I'm the one that breaks up college parties.…

Grey whispered to Youay, "Please hurry...Can't hold on much longer.."
The doctor walked closer to "Gizzy", rubbing his chin in thought. "Looks like you have a case of "Be careful what you wish for." Though I could see why he would lock you down to let his friend escape, You left him in pretty bad shape." (Before I edit a response to grey, where is his whisper coming from? Also did you catch my edit of my previous post in the med wing?)
".....I did leave him in bad shape but I did not kill him, he should live." He put his hands down "Looks like hes the one who would've won that bet either way and not me."
Youay tilted his head to one side, a thoughtful look on his face. "And what kind of bet was this, if you dont mind me asking?"
((Yeah, I saw it. He can Send a message to anyone, In any phase, He can send it. But just barely.))
"He made a deal and he didn't have much of a good choice, it was if he won I would would have to join his soul with that bird or if I won I could have his body all to himself. Of course the bet was me getting his body either way but, now I just feel bad after taking this body. I did hear his last thought though he said he will provide me a home with his own body can you believe that?"
The doctor nodded. "Well what do you wanna do about it? I can help you separate if you need it. Or if you have a better idea. I am all ears." he took off his glasses and cleaned them
He shook his head and thought about it for a minute. "There is only one way to save him and that is the power of the shadows, but it may be too late to save him."
Remember...My...Shadow...That...came out.....Youay?....Use it... It may ...help...
Youay looked deep in thought as he focused on the message from Grey. Using that link that Grey made he sent his own message. "How do I get a hold of your Shadow?

Sydney Organizes World's First Climate Change Blackout
Reported on Yahoo news:
Photo: vm1757/FlickrAustralia's largest city will be plunged into darkness for an hour on Saturday in an attempt at a world first blackout to raise awareness of global warming, organisers say.
A successful switch-off could then be copied by major cities around the world in a drive to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions blamed for climate change, according to international conservation group WWF.
A thousand businesses have signed up, including many of the top blue-chip companies on the Australian stock market -- and even McDonald's is going to turn off its "Golden Arches" signs.

Dave Evans | November 20, 2013 | Comments
Customer care is going social. Take the time to build a robust ROI model and then measure the contribution of your social customer care efforts. There is no better way to win support.
Brand reputation and hence brand value is increasingly determined by customer experiences re-cast as content, posted and shared on the social web. Smart marketers are expanding their roles to include these essential touchpoints. An amazing thing is happening as a result: customer care is going social.
You know the cliché: 1-800-BLA-BLAH, enter your account number, press 2, press 1, press 4. Then, when someone answers, tell that person your account number (again) and explain why you are calling (again). The truth is, customer care is better than that, much better. The majority of issues are resolved during the first call; across industries the average is about 75 percent, with tech support typically resolving about 65 percent and retail just over 90 percent of customers' issues on the first call. Yet, the perception persists, and as the saying goes, "perception is reality." It's a welcome effort by customer care that promises to fix this.
Start with the motives for the shift from phones to social customer care, or for many, the development of social customer care alongside phones. It's driven by time-starved, gratification seeking customers for whom the prospect of calling and waiting is off-putting. Even though most issues are resolved promptly, the mental perception for most customers is "I need to call customer care... but I'll do it later when I have time." Twitter, easily the best and strongest of the social channels when it comes to being "purpose-built for high-scale, real-time customer interaction," presents a different model. It's very easy ("I'll just post this to the brand handle..."), though it comes with its own adverse perception challenge: "I wonder if anyone from the brand will see this?
If you consider the ordering of these objections an important insight occurs. In the case of the phone, the objection (having to declare "right now" as the time to actually call) happens before the customer takes visible action and so reduces the likelihood of an actual interaction. Simply, rather than calling, customers put off calling until they are sufficiently motivated (aka, upset enough) to actually make the call. By comparison, with Twitter the challenge happens after the post: "Now that I have posted, I wonder if anyone will see it."
That's a step forward, because it means the post it out there earlier, before the customer heats up. Rather than an upset customer on the phone, in this scenario you have a chance to intervene earlier via social channels.
Now, add response time to the mix. If the brand responds in a timely manner (say, in minutes), the customer gets that immediate reinforcement when emotions are still favorable. Of course, all of this is happening in public, so the rub-off and transfer of good will is amplified. Even in cases where the post itself is negative, a visible, prompt response is a plus for the brand.
I was reviewing social conversations for one of our customers and was struck by the number of conversations that showed a distinct "flip" in sentiment when the same customer shifted from phone to a social channel. Posts on Twitter like "This is great service! Can I do this all the time instead of calling?" were common and positively indicate the preference of at least some customers to adopt an asynchronous social channel, rather than using a phone to obtain support. That's a great opportunity that can be capitalized on by simply paying attention and responding in a timely, helpful manner.
Even better, adding social channels and building your engagement platform using a mix of on-domain peer (e.g., support forums that you control) and social agents (for off-domain channels like Facebook, Google+ and Twitter) means you can reduce support costs by paying attention to the mix between phone (some issues still require one-on-one with an agent) and social channels. Take the time to build a robust ROI model and then measure the contribution of your social customer care efforts. There is no better way to win support.
It's quite powerful when customers realize first-hand that the product or service which they have paid for is backed by a brand visibly intent of satisfying them. You just can't buy a better ad.

BofA Merrill Launches Dodd-Frank Payments Solutions For Financial Institution Clients
Bank of America Merrill Lynch, a leader in global payments, today announced the formal launch of a set of solutions for financial institution clients to address new requirements for conducting cross-border payments as outlined by the Dodd-Frank Remittance Regulation 1073 (DF-1073). The solutions, which were initially developed last year, have been enhanced over the last six months with customizable features and will be updated when the Final Rule is published by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
"Bank of America Merrill Lynch is proud to be at the forefront of developing DF-1073 solutions that will help our clients not only evolve with the marketplace and expand their global payment business, but importantly serve their own retail customers as comprehensively and seamlessly as possible," said Paul Simpson, head of Global Transaction Services (GTS).
"The initiative combines the considerable expertise – including systems and technology – of the Consumer Bank, with that of our wholesale business, which has a long history of operating in overseas markets and delivering payments around the world," Simpson added.
Bank of America's Consumer Bank is one of the largest in the country, serving 53 million individuals and small businesses across the United States. Through close collaboration with the Consumer Bank, Bank of America Merrill Lynch created optimal solutions for DF-1073 that leverage the company's knowledge of best practices in retail banking along with the wholesale bank's expertise in cross-border payments and foreign bank payment practices.
The lead products addressing DF-1073 requirements are FXtransact White Label and Bank of America Merrill Lynch Information Exchange for Payments. These solutions provide clients comprehensive access to fee, tax, availability date information, and disclosure capabilities. The solutions also help clients reduce costs by improving straight-through processing and by removing manual processes. As one of the first banks in 2012 to develop a Dodd-Frank offering, the company has on-boarded a number of financial institutions – from large national banks to small community banks. "We are working with several clients of various sizes and degrees of complexity to solve for the new requirements of Dodd-Frank 1073," said Greg Murray, head of U.S. Dollar Wire and Clearing Products in GTS. "By adopting our solutions, our clients have the ability to make payments within the new regulatory framework in more than 140 currencies, including the U.S. dollar, across 200 countries and territories."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Ridership up on most Amtrak Vt., Maine, NH routesThe Associated Press | October 14,2013DURHAM, N.H. - Amtrak says ridership was up in two of its three northern New England routes in the last fiscal year.
Amtrak said Monday that ridership increased 3.5 percent on the Downeaster, which travels from Boston to Maine and includes stops in New Hampshire. Ticket revenue grew 6 percent during the year.
The Vermonter service from St. Albans to Washington, D.C., also saw an increase in ridership and sales, with ridership going up 2.5 percent and sales going up just under 6 percent.

"Dollar stores once thought of as the place brands went to die are leading the marketing changes: Dollar General focuses on three areas on their website— pets, easy meals and store brands. According to Nielsen, the dollar store is now like Motel 6 (which hasn't rented rooms for $6 in a generation): less than ¼ of the items sold at so-called "dollar stores" go for a buck or less. Not surprisingly, high- and middle-income shoppers are flocking there looking for bargains, and brands that once scorned the outlet or refused to allow their products to be carried there are courting these stripped-down outlets."
Easy Meals are now a focus at Dollar General stores. What is your company doing to package easy meals? Where do you place them? How often do you change the offerings? Grocerant meal program assessments are available. What new points of distribution have you identified?

Ask Kim: "Where Can I Find Men?"
By Kim Sarrasin
Try to mix it up if you have been going to the same places over and over. Every city has places crawling with single men at lunchtime in the downtown core. Do some research in your area and ask yourself if you are dining with more females or males. If your lunch routine is to go to the food court, don't hide yourself in the corner and talk on your cell phone – be out in the open where you can actually be approached by men.
The most important thing to remember is to be OPEN. Women have a tendency to be closed off when they're alone in public. I understand issues of safety can come up. But, the world as a whole is a pretty safe place to live – despite what the news and endless stream of crime dramas would have you believe.
Linda, the tips here are actually 4 of the 47 tips and suggestions I share in a great CD set I created with another top dating coach Dating Made Easy: 47 Secrets to WOW the Next Guy You Date We created it specifically for women like you who are new to dating and need some extra support – highly recommend it!

Martin hails captain fantastic
National disability manager Ian Martin says Umesh Valjee was a most deserving winner of the England Disability Cricketer of the Year award.
The England Deaf team captain picked up the accolade at the ECB Men's and Women's Cricketer of the Year awards evening which was held in the Long Room of the Lord's Pavilion.
Valjee scooped the award following a wonderful winter in Australia where he cracked three centuries - sensational form that helped England win the T20 Tri-Series.
"Umesh has been a stalwart of the England Deaf Cricket team for a number of years and the success that he had in the winter, three centuries in the first four innings of an Ashes tour - absolutely fantastic," said Martin.
"It's the pinnacle of any player's career to be named as England player of the year."
Martin added that for Valjee to be recognised on an evening where Jonathan Trott picked up the England Cricketer of the Year award was a huge fillip for disability cricket.
"For our disability players to be applauded at this level is absolutely fantastic and shows the giant strides the disabled game has made," he said.
"These evenings help a tremendous amount. Whilst we are here celebrating the elite end of the game, of course there is an awful lot of work going on at grassroots level to get more disabled people participating in the sport."

Ripples of Battle (eBook)
Ripples of Battle (eBook)
The effects of war refuse to remain local: they persist through the centuries, sometimes in unlikely ways far removed from the military arena. In Ripples of Battle, the acclaimed historian Victor Davis Hanson weaves wide-ranging military and cultural history with his unparalleled gift for battle narrative as he illuminates the centrality of war in the human experience.
The Athenian defeat at Delium in 424 BC brought tactical innovations to infantry fighting; it also assured the influence of the philosophy of Socrates, who fought well in the battle. Nearly twenty-three hundred years later, the carnage at Shiloh and the death of the brilliant Southern strategist Albert Sidney Johnson inspired a sense of fateful tragedy that would endure and stymie Southern culture for decades. The Northern victory would also bolster the reputation of William Tecumseh Sherman, and inspire Lew Wallace to pen the classic Ben Hur. And, perhaps most resonant for our time, the agony of Okinawa spurred the Japanese toward state-sanctioned suicide missions, a tactic so uncompromising and subversive, it haunts our view of non-Western combatants to this day.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
About the Author
Victor Davis Hanson is a military historian who is a professor of classics at California State University, Fresno. He has written several scholarly and popular books on ancient history and classical warfare, including The Other Greeks, The Western Way of War, and The Soul of Battle. He lives in Selma, California.
Praise for Ripples of Battle…
"What [Hanson] brings to the public discussion–along with an unusually vigorous prose style and a remarkable erudition–is a philosophy of war not meant for the weak—kneed or faint—hearted. Hanson does not celebrate war, but he accepts it as a fact of life, a part of the human condition that no amount of idealistic preaching or good intentions can will away." –The New York Times Book Review
"Victor Davis Hanson is refreshingly unabashed about being an old-fashioned military historian . . . [and] he displays an exceptional chronological sweep." --The Washington Post Book World
"What's most impressive about Hanson's work is his constant reminder that history is not just a faceless story of economic and social progress, but also one about the strength of individuals, brought to life here in masterly prose." --The Christian Science Monitor
"His premise is fascinating and well executed. . . . A great little book. . . . Hanson is a superb storyteller and a clear and concise writer." --The Washington Times

Altimira Place is wonderful, I'm new to Orlando and they make help me to enjoy my new experience. If your sing Read Morele and living alone this is a great place for you. Everything you could possibly need is within reach. The complex is quiet, clean, with friendly neighbors and pets. I haven't been here long but I already love it here and would definitely refer someone to live here. They get five thumbs up from me. And I'm a very opinionated especially when it comes to somewhere I want to live and lay my head. No bad remarks from me because Altimira place is exactly where you want to be!!!!!
