There's Another Linux Kernel Power Problem
After last year discovering a major Linux kernel power regression that was widely debated until the Phoronix test automation software bisected the problem to get to the bottom of the situation, there's more active power regressions today on the Linux desktop. As I've mentioned on Twitter and in other articles in weeks prior there's a few regressions, but one of them for at least some notebooks is causing a very significant increase in power consumption. This situation that remains unresolved as of the Linux 3.7 kernel can cause the system to be going through about 20% more power.

Are you in the market for a part-time job, but you're not thrilled about the usual options? If you aren't interested in waiting tables, babysitting or working retail, you might want to consider some of these less common types of part-time work.
1. Location scout
Locations can play a critically important role in movies, TV and print advertisements -- imagine the 1976 film "Rocky" without the iconic scene on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, to name a famous example. Location scouts find just the right beach, doughnut shop or other physical location to make a shoot successful. Not only do location scouts need a good eye, they must have excellent communication and negotiation skills to convince property owners, municipalities and others to give camera crews access. Some location scouts, especially for film, are needed on a per-project basis and therefore have somewhat unpredictable schedules. Other location scouts have steady part-time gigs for catalogs or recurring TV shows, for example.
2. Product demonstrator
Many product demonstrators run booths at trade shows, showing interested passersby how to use a particular coffee maker, type of software or other new product. But their jobs can take them to other places, too: they might demonstrate luxury cars by driving them around to a city's happening night spots, for example. Some product demonstrators try to spur immediate sales, while others have the subtler task of boosting brand awareness. Because their employment is driven by special events geared to product promotion, they usually have part-time or irregular schedules.
3. Food stylist
Those delectable images of food in glossy magazines, TV and the Internet -- the ones that make you hungry just looking at them -- are almost always the work of food stylists. These workers are typically responsible for meeting with photographers and/or creative teams deciding what the food should look like, and then doing the shopping, storing, organizing, presentation and cooking that produce those mouth-watering shots of lobster tails or strawberry shortcake. While some food stylists work full-time for cooking shows or advertising agencies, others, especially those who are self-employed, may work on a part-time basis.
4. Corn detasseler
If you grew up in Iowa, Nebraska or another corn-producing state, chances are you have heard of corn detasseling. For the rest of us, this is probably a new one. Detasseling serves as summer employment for many Midwestern high school and college students, as well as for adults seeking seasonal work. It involves tramping through cornfields and pulling the topmost part, or the tassel, off the ears of corn. (The tassels are left on some ears, so that the two varieties can cross-pollinate.) The work is typically easy to get but very tough to do: count on exhausting days and plenty of cuts and scrapes on your hands.
5. Field inspector
Insurance companies and mortgage lenders are among the companies that hire part-time inspectors to assess the condition of homes, cars, offices and other properties. If you have reliable transportation, a digital camera and good phone and Internet access, you've got most of the tools you'll need to set up shop, usually as an independent contractor. Once you get started, you can boost your income by working for more than one company.

lone survivor
My name is chris and im 30 and my childhood home just burned to the ground a few months ago. Everyone was fine no pets or anyone in the house and the insurance claim went smoothly. But my mothers favorite hydrangea bush was right next to the house and didn't make it. She's now out of state staying with family but I'm still in the area. I took some of the remains of the bush and tried to take cuttings so it would survive. My mothers a huge gardener and i know it would mean a lot to her Unfortunately I have the opposite of a green thumb (i call it an agent orange thumb) so it did not survive. Then the other day I looked in the pot i had tried to propagate the cuttings in and I saw a survivor!!!! I attached a picture of the little sprout and ever since i found it i just left it alone outside. Im up in new jersey and the weathers getting colder now and I need any advice on how to keep this thing alive. PLEASE HELP!!!!!
What a nice surprise! Looks like the roots are still alive and it put a shoot. What kind of hydrangea is it supposed to be?
Other than adding some mulch, giving it the same care it had before (ask your mother how often she watered it, how often she fertilized it, what fertilizer she used and how much she used), I would do nothing else.
Bring it inside when it goes dormant and the leaves dry out. Once in a protected garage or shed, water it once every two weeks or so. Take it outside when Spring temps arrive.
If you insert a finger into the soil to a depth of 3" or and it feels dry or almost dry, water it. I normally water a little bit, wait for the water to drain and water some more.
Keep it in a location where it gets morning sun, afternoon shade and some protection from wind if the area is windy (the wind can dry out the soil faster than if placed in non-windy areas).
Potted plants need water more often. And all the watering makes the nutrients leach out so they need to be fertilized more often too. During the growing season, I would fertilize but during the winter months I would not. If you water and fertilize as often as she used to when she was in the house, you could give her the plant for Mother's Day or some other special occasion. But if you are panicky of killing it, just drive over to her now, give it to her now and let her take care of it as she used to do!!! Ha!
Yep, store in a sheltered location in winter and keep the soil somewhat moist.
Also, for a hydrangea that small, you should keep it growing in that size pot for approximately 3 years before planting in the ground. This will help it achieve size before it's subjected to stresses of winter. Until planted, the pot should be put outside after last frost and as Luis said, taken back to shelter right after the leaves fall off in the Fall. When outside, keep the pot in a semi-shaded area (50/50) and keep the soil moist.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals' Tyrann Mathieu continues to make plays in camp
GLENDALE -- Fans who have attended any of the open practices of the Arizona Cardinals at University of Phoenix Stadium in the last week have seen the defense get it hands on a lot of passes, both at the line of scrimmage and down the field.
One of the main agitators on defense in the first week has been rookie third-round pick Tyrann Mathieu. The LSU product had two interceptions during Thursday's practice in Tempe and continued to get his hands on balls Friday.
"Yeah, it was definitely exciting to get some turnovers," he said. "Any time you get turnovers, you put your team in position to score and that usually turns into a win."
Mathieu is also getting the attention of those on offense -- most notably quarterback Carson Palmer.
"Tyrann is getting his hands on a lot of balls," Palmer said Friday. "He's so quick and explosive in and out of breaks and reading concepts and knowing coverages and weaknesses in where we're trying to throw the ball."
Mathieu believes a lot of that has to do with his ever-growing comfort level. After a full year away from the game, it's all coming back to the 2011 SEC Defensive Player of the Year and Heisman Trophy finalist.
"I think the game is definitely slowing down for me," he said. "Right now, I'm just trying to get used to the shoulder pads and just running around out there just really trying to have some fun. It's camp, sometimes it's redundant so you just want to go out here and have some fun when you get on the field."
But it wasn't all fun for Mathieu on Friday. Former college teammate and fellow defensive back Patrick Peterson lined up on offense and beat Mathieu deep on a long pass from Palmer.
"I think he's a little faster than me," Mathieu admitted with a smile. "He got me on that one, so hopefully (Saturday) I'll get him back."
The Cardinals will hold their Red-White scrimmage Saturday at University of Phoenix Stadium. The session is open to the public and gets underway at 2:00 p.m.

There are disclosed earplugs composed of certain polymeric foam materials. The earplugs are of generally cylindrical shape and of somewhat larger diameter than the human ear canal. The earplugs are composed of a foamed plasticised polymeric material having a sufficiently high concentration of plasticizer to provide the earplug with a reduced rate of recovery from compression.
Claims available in
Description (OCR text may contain errors)
The present invention .relates generally to earplug constructions and more particularly to earplug constructions adapted for insertion into the ear canal.
Many devices are known which are adapted for insertion into the human ear canal in order to suppress or attenuate the transmission of dangerous noise and thus confer a measure of protection to the anatomical hearing apparatus. Such devices have taken many forms. For instance, perhaps the simplest earplug is formed of wadded cotton. While blessed with the benefit of simplicity, such earplugs are not normally greatly effective as acoustic barriers. In another embodiment of this simple earplug, a fibrous material, such as cotton wadding,
known which take the form of molded elastomeric structures, natural rubber being a common material of construction. Included within this class are earplugs having molded therein-check valves and other substructures designed to allow normal voice tones to be transmitted therethrough while cancelling or preventing transmission of injurious overpressures. Such molded elastomer earplugs suffer from the fact that their size and shape is preordained and fixed in the molding thereof. Thus, they must initially be carefully fittedto the wearer in order to provide security, comfort and effective sound attenuation properties. Unfortunately, the size and shape of the human ear canal is quite variable amongst persons; indeed, bilateral symmetry in a single individual is often lacking. Accordingly, it is not possible to manufacturemolded elastomeric earplugs of a universally useful size and shape.
In recent years there have come into extensive usage lightweightearphones or headphones comprising generally a miniature speaker having tubular member(s) extending therefrom the tips of which members are adapted for insertion in the external auditory meatus. Said tips are generally comprised of a foamed or unfoamed polymeric material such as neoprene or sponge rubber. In the case of the unfoamed polymeric tip .members major deficiencies usually reside in the facts that the tip members (1) tend to slip out of the ear canal, and (2) the relatively non-compliant character of the polymeric material does not lend itself to complete obturation of the ear canal. Thus, bothersome external ambient noise can often by-pass such unfoamed tip members. In the case of sponge rubber tip members the resiliency of the sponge materials is generally excessively rapid and mitigates against actual insertion of the tip member into the ear canal proper. Such tip members are usually worn, therefore, in a manner such as to urge the respective members inwardly against the external auditory meatus. This is often found uncomfortable and, in any case, is not ordinarily efficient in blocking the ear canal.
In accordance with the present invention, however, there are provided earplug structures which substantially ameliorate or overcome the aforedescribed problems.
careers or THE INVENTION- It is a principal object of the invention to provide novel earplug.
It is another object of the invention to provide earplugs adapted for insertion into the ear canals with substantially complete obturation thereof.
It is another object of the invention to provide earplugs having excellent sound barrier properties.
It is another object of the invention to provide earplugs adapted for insertion into the ear canals wherein GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In accordance with the present inventionthere are provided earplugs of generally cylindrical shape and of somewhat larger diameter thanfthat of the human ear canal. Said earplugs are composed of a foamed polymeric material having a rate of recoveryfrom 60 percent compression to 40 percent'compression thereof of from 1 to 60 seconds and an equilibrium pressure at 40 percent compression thereof of from 0.2 to 1.3 p.s.i.
THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of an earplug of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective, partially sectioned view of an earpiece portion of an earphone bearing a modified foamed polymeric earplug of the invention as the external ear insertable tip member.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring to FIG. 1 it will be seen that the earplug of the invention is of generally cylindrical shape and has a diameter somewhat greater than that-of the average adult human ear canal. For instance, a diameter of between about inch and about 56 inch is generally acceptable. Optirn'ally, the diameter of the earplug will be between 9/16 inch and 11/ 16 inch. Further, it should be noted and understood that the term cylindrical as employed herein includes'within its scope structures having a relatively shallow truncated cone shape or a substantially spherical shape. Where the earplug takes the form of a truncated cone, the above diameter criteria may be employed taken at the midpoint of the cone. Where the earplug is spherical, the above criteria may be applied to the diameter of said'sphere.
The length of the earplug can generally be between about /fi inch to about 1 inch. At lengths substantially greater than about 1 inch, for instance, sufficient material can overhang the external ear so as to be bothersome to the wearer. Desirably, the length of the earplug will be between 7/ 16 and about inch.
Any flexible polymeric material which can be foamed so as to result in an ultimately formed earplug structure meeting the recovery rate and pressure criteria set forth hereinabove constitutes a satisfactory material of construction in the earplugs of the invention. Accordingly, polymers of ethylene, propylene, vinyl chloride,
vinyl acetate, diisocyanate, cellulose acetate or isobuarias-shamanism.
tylene can all be generally employed. in particular,
however, I much favor vinyl chloride homopolymers and copolymers comprising at least- 85 percent by weight of vinyl chloride and up to percent by weight of other monomers such as vinylidene chloride, vinyl esters of carboxylic acids, e.g., vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, vinyl butyrate and vinyl benzoate. esters of unsaturated acids, e.g., alkyl acrylates such as methyl acryiate, ethyl acrylate, propyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, allyl acrylate, and the corresponding esters of methacrylic acid; vinyl aromatic compounds, e.g., styrene,
a -aara:sh!q 9trtsssaa 2,4-dichlorostyrene, paraethylstyrene, vinyl naphthalene and a-methyl tyrene, dienes such as butadiene and chl'orobutadiene, unsaturated amides such as acrylic'acid amide and acrylic acid anilide; unsaturated nitriles such 'as acrylic acid nitrile; and esters of a, B-unsaturated carboxylic acids, e.g., the methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, amyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, allyl, methallyl, and phenyl esters of maleic, crotonic and fumaric acids and the like. Such vinyl chloride based polymers, and particularly the vinyl chloride homopolymers, can normally be compounded into plastisol form with a blowing agent and a high concentration of a suitable organic plasticizer so asto result in stabilized foams having the rate of recovery and pressure characteristics necessary in the compositions from 'which the earplugs of the invention-are fabricated.
With respect to said characteristics, it is clear that the relatively slow recovery rate in returning from 60 percent compression to 40 percent compression of the foamed materials employed in the earplug construction of the invention confers to the user the ability to initially compressor otherwise deform the earplug and provide sufficient time for insertion thereof into the ear canal. Subsequent, to said insertion, the compressed or deformed earplug slowly recovers and attempts to regain its original shape. By so doing, the recovering polymeric material conforms to the structure of the ear canal and establishes substantially complete obturation thereof. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the recovery rate of the foamed polymer composition will be between 2 and about seconds.
The manner in which the recovery rate of the foamed polymer composition is determined for the purposes of the present invention is as follows:
Plugs of the polymeric foam composition are cut with a hollow tube borer, the dimensions of the plugs being about 0630-0640 inch in diameter and having a length of between 0.495 and 0.615 inch. A parallel plate gauge is employed having a spacing of 0.375 inch between the opposing plate surfaces. Said 0.375 inch spacing between plates thus corresponds to about 40 percent compression of the original plug diameter. A plug specimen is twirled lengthwise between the fingers for 15 to 30 seconds with an ultimate compression of the plug to about 0.25 inch in diameter, corresponding to about 60 percent reduction in the original diameter thereof. The plug is then inserted lengthwise and released between the parallel plates, the time from said release to contact of percent of the linear surface of the plug with both plates being determined by stopwatch measurement. In order to maximize the relative precision of the test, a number of test specimens taken from the same sample foam are employed and the results averaged.
The 40 percent compression equilibrium pressure testing of the polymeric foam is accomplished employing the test plugs produced and employed in the above recovery rate testing procedure. In pressure testing, however, there is employed an Instron Universal Testing Instrument, Model TTC, having a parallel plate specimen holder in which the parallel plates are spaced 0.375 inch apart. The lnstron is further equipped with a 1 pound load cell. Test plugs of the foamed polymeric composition are finger twirled in the manner described previously for a 30 second period and are placed lengthwise between the plates of the parallel sepcimen holder. When the load cell reading attains a 40 to g total measured pressure no. of specimens X4 40 compression The pressure criteria established hereinbefore for the foamed polymeric compositions employed in the fabrication of the earplugs of the invention is also important in that the achievement of such pressure characteristics insures that the completed earplug will bear in obturating relationship against the ear canal but with insufficient pressure as to cause discomfort to the wearer. in a preferred embodiment, the foamed polymeric compositions employed in the fabrication of the earplugs of the invention will have a 40 percent compression equilibrium pressure of between 0.35 and 1.0 p.s.i.
Taken together, the pressure and recovery rate criteria of the foamed polymeric compositions also define a compositionhaving the further characteristic of relative deadness. Thus, while form stable in the sense that the earplug, when deformed, will tend to recover its original shape and size, the slow rate of recovery thereof and the very small overall pressure exerted by the plug surfaces on the constraining ear canal further insure the fact that little sound will be transmitted through the material and into the bony structure of the canal. This, too, is highly advantageous since substantial undesirable sound transmission by way of bone conduction through the mastoid process can occur with solid earplugs.

The cast plastisol was continuously-conducted through an oven heated to a nominal temperature of about 420 F at a nominal residence time of about 5 minutes. The resulting foamed sheet composition had a density of about 7 lbs/ft, a rate of recovery from 60 percent compression to 40 percent compression of about 4 seconds and a 40 percent compression equilibrium pressure of about- 0.78 p.-s.i.

The cast sheet was then-[continuously fed through an oven as in Example 1. The resulting foamed polyvinylchloride sheet had a density of about 13 lbs/ft, a
rate of recovery from 60 percent compression to 40 percent compression of about 1 second and a 40 percent compression equilibrium pressure of about 1.32.
When cut into cylindrical structures of about inch diameter and inch length, the resulting wares were l.....a a trtaa; Two polyvinylchloride formulations havingsubstantially similar ingredients as employed in Examples 1 could be finger compressed and inserted into the ear canals without difficulty. The compressed plugs thereafter recovered to substantially completely and comfortably obturate the ear canals and were found to be highly effective in attenuating the transmission of 4 15-15 ,000 Hz/sec frequencies therethrough.
Referring now to FIG. 2, several of the earplugs are coaxially bored throughout their lengths with a central corer having a diameter of abouti inch. The resulting structures are then employed as a covering 3 over tubular tip portion 5 of a lightweight headphone set (partially shown). Again, it is found that the foamed polymeric structures are compressible to below the dimensions of the ear canal and can be comfortably inserted therein with subsequent slow recovery thereof to substantially completely fill the cross-section of the ear caml.

Earplugs formed of thismaterial were'found to be deficientin that the recovery rate was excessively slow and the exerted pressure upon the ear canal was slightly below that required to completely obturate the ear canal with the foamed polymeric shape. .The other foamed polyvinylchloride sheet composition was found to have an apparent density of about 6 lbs/ft'f, a recovery rate (60 to 40 percent compression) of about 1-3 seconds and an exerted equilibrium pressure at 40 per-' cent compression of about 0.37 p.s.i. Cylindricalv (ineluding truncated cone shapes) earplugs formed of this material were found to beof excellent quality in terms of facile insertion, wearer comfort and sound attenua-' tion properties.
While there are above described a number of specific embodiments of the present invention, it is obviously possible to produce other embodiments and various equivalent modifications thereof without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Having set forth the general'nature and several preferred embodiments of the present invention, the true scope thereof is now particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
What is claimed is:
1. An earplug of generally cylindrical shape having a diameter of between and inch, a-length tobet'ween 1e and 1 inch andcomposed of a resilient plasticised polymeric foam having a sufficiently high concentration of organic plasticizer therein as to provide said foam with a rate of recovery of 60 percent compression thereof to 40 percent compression of from 1 to 60 seconds and an equilibrium pressure of 40 percent compression thereof of from 0.2-to 1.3 p.s.i.
2. The earplug of claim 1 wherein said polymeric foam has a-rate of recovery of from 2 to 20 seconds.
3. The earplug of claim 1 wherein said polymeric foam has an equilibrium pressure at 40 percent compression of between'0.35 and 1.0 p.s.i.
4. The earplug of claim 1 wherein the polymeric constituent of said foam is a polymer of vinyl chloride.

Great quality oats, cook really smooth and fast, really rich flavour. GF is just a bonus! I like my oats with a scoop of peanut butter, a banana and some cinnamon... then I blend it all together smooth. Good the next day too, it thickens and goes like pudding!

Corvallis 104.3 FM • Hood River 91.9 FM • Portland 90.7 FM
When America inaugurated its first African American president, in 2009, many wondered if the country had finally become a "post-racial" society. Was this the dawning of a new era, in which America, a nation nearly severed in half by slavery, and whose racial fault lines are arguably among its most enduring traits, would at last move beyond race with the election of Barack Hussein Obama? In Ghosts of Jim Crow, F. Michael Higginbotham convincingly argues that America remains far away from that imagined utopia. Indeed, the shadows of Jim Crow era laws and attitudes continue to perpetuate insidious, systemic prejudice and racism in the 21st century.
Clayton Morgareidge hosts and talks with Radical Musicologist Brad Duncan about Black Power and Soul music; Bill Resnick talks with media analyst Robert McChesney about the dangers corporate internet monopolies pose for democracy; and movie moles Denise Morris and Frann Michel review the documentary A Place at the Table about food insecurity in the USA.
This episode is shorter than usual because it aired during KBOO's membership drive. Please join and please give to the Boo and the Mole by clicking on the tip jar in the upper right of this page (Donate $ Today!).
Clayton Morgareidge talks with radical musicologist Brad Duncan about Black Power as the radicalizing of what had been the more integrationist civil rights movement, and about the roots of soul music in gospel and R&B. They discuss the role of music in preserving cultural memory of the Black Power movement, the time it took for the mainstream corporate music industry to accept musicians performing politically radical music, and the courage and importance of Nina Simone.
TONIGHT, join Paula the Small as she welcomes Portland-born film director and writer, Mischa Webley to discuss his debut feature-length film The Kill Hole. After the interview, she will share music from around the globe, so you can get ready for the pre-weekend party!
Hosts Celeste Carey and Cecil Prescod speak with David A. Harris, professor of Law at the University of Pittsburgn about his book "Failed Evidence: Why Law Enforcement Resists Science."
With the popularity of crime dramas like CSI focusing on forensic science, and increasing numbers of police and prosecutors making wide-spread use of DNA, high-tech science seems to have become the handmaiden of law enforcement. But this is a myth,asserts law professor and nationally known expert on police profiling David A. Harris. In fact, most of law enforcement does not embrace science—it rejects it instead, resisting it vigorously. The question at the heart of this book is why.
News and Public Affairs Day, Part 3
Dr. Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness recorded at Emmanuel Temple on January 16, 2013
Hosts Celeste Carey and Cecil Prescod speak with long-time racial justice, labor and international activist Bill Fletcher Jr. about his new book "They're Bankrupting Us! (And 20 Other Myths about Unions)." Fletcher debunks the most well-known myths about labor, provides an honest assessment of the missteps of the labor movement and offers a vision of the way forward.
Bill Fletcher Junior has served in leadership positions with many prominent union and labor organizations, including the AFL-CIO and the Service Employees International Union. He is immediate past president of TransAfrica Forum and is the coauthor, with Dr. Fernando Gapasin, of "Solidarity Divided: The Crisis in Organized Labor and a New Path Toward Social Justice."
The Harlem Renaissance--music and spoken word. Continuation of last week's theme. The Harlem Renaissance was an intellectual, literary, musical and artistic explosion of the 1920s and 1930s. Nick Gefroh hosts. Plus a surprise interview by Daniel Flessas with Han Bennink, Dutch jazz drummer and percussionist who is considered a pivotal figure in early European free jazz.
Author Jonathan R. Miller writes literary fiction thrillers that include multicultural or biracial characters and themes. His latest work, Delivery, features a biracial Somali man who is blinded while defending his daughter. Ambojeem, the protagonist, settles in the relative calm of Minnesota, hoping to find a proper, peaceful home. Instead, he stumbles into a world where black market surgeries, kidnappings, and murder are the norm. Along the way, he meets a little girl whose father has made plans for one of her vital organs, and Ambo must find a way to help the child while ensuring that he doesn't fall victim to the father's crazed ambitions himself.
Hosts Cecil Prescod and Celeste Carey speak with Stephen John Hartnett about his book EXECUTING DEMOCRACY: CAPITAL PUNISHMENT & THE MAKING OF AMERICA.
Even the most ardent death penalty supporter doesn't claim that capital punishment is a deterrent to crime. We know that it's not. We also know that innocent people have landed on death row. But what else do we know about the death penalty, and about its fraught history in the U.S.? Tune in to find out more.

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
It comes as no surprise that in a world where many neglect the importance of community, iPhones, iPods, and iPads constantly and consistently appear as the trendiest gadgets. These devices represent a culture that desires to deconstruct the power and purpose of community, placing all importance on the needs of the individual.
Despite this societal disposition, I believe many young people of this generation possess an ever-increasing eagerness to live lives of meaning. With all the serious setbacks brought on by our new economic realities, the Gen-Y generation has still had the opportunity to amass so much material stuff and travel with unprecedented frequency. But these fleeting objects and experiences do nothing to quench their thirst for a purposeful existence.
Just look at the new phenomenon in Israel where sheirut leumi was once the sole purview of the religious Zionist community; recent years have seen a rise of new organizations empowering young adults of Israel's secular community to volunteer for a year of service before their obligatory time in the army or enabling those exempt from army service who still wish to impact the destiny of the state. These organizations are collectively serving thousands.
One illustration of the same development appears at Yeshiva University's Center for the Jewish Future. We send close to a thousand young adults on community initiatives, service learning trips, and experiential learning missions across the globe and cannot keep up with ever-greater student demand.
Organizations around North America that work with young adults have seen a similar phenomenon and are working in partnership to create structures permitting all of us to better respond to this yearning. Recently, a new organization, Repair the World, was established to help coordinate and fund successful models of this kind of engagement and has even created a website allowing adults to find various short- and long-term volunteer opportunities around the world (http://search.werepair.org/service).
In contrast to this vitality, we increasingly hear of grayer boardrooms, the passing of philanthropists who supported our organizations, the thinning of the ranks of dedicated volunteers, and a dearth of professionals to service our many worthwhile organizations.
So how do we in the Jewish communal and educational world leverage the hunger of Gen-Yers to insure the future health of our institutions? More important, how do we ensure that this new generation brings its creativity, charisma, and capacity to the leadership table with a commitment to Jewish ideals, guaranteeing the perpetuation of the soul of our sacred community?
We need look no further than these forms of experiential experiences as a start, for they transform young adults. I have often shared with students that their experiences on service missions should empower them to understand why the Hebrew word for giving, natan, is a palindrome. For when one gives to another with the sole purpose of effectuating change, what one receives in return is as great or even greater than the efforts expended.
No more can we hear the old joke told among North American service providers that begins with a participant asking how one says tikkun olam in Hebrew. Leadership experiences, whether in Israel, the FSU, Thailand, or around the corner, must be contextualized with the ideals of Jewish leadership. We must share the paradigms of leadership found in the Bible: that of the kohen (priest) and the navi (prophet).
Rooted in externals, the priest realized his holiness through the wearing of his special garb and his lineage. As the custodian of ritual for the Jewish community, he guaranteed that the form and the function of the Temple and the Jewish community passed on from generation to generation.
We must share with our young adults that participation in the identical rituals in which our great-grandparents engaged (and perhaps even using their candlesticks or Kiddush cup for the Shabbat/holiday experience) creates a sense of continuity and immortality to the Jewish story. Like the kohen, our leadership experiences must serve as incubator to engage our young adults in exploring and knowing the Jewish story.
Yet that is just half the job, for they must also embrace the role of the prophet. Dress and lineage possessed no consequence for the prophet, whose concern rested in the substance of the religious experience in the effort to ensure that the ritual not become robotic or devoid of meaning and purpose. Like the prophets, our young adults must experience a tradition imbued with passion and principle. We must see to the placing of service learning initiatives and leadership opportunities within a rich Jewish context, allowing our experiential experiences to give voice to the immortal and contemporary traditions of our people.
About the Author: Rabbi Kenneth Brander is the David Mitzner dean of Yeshiva University's Center for the Jewish Future (www.yu.edu/cjf), the largest provider of service learning and experiential education trips for Orthodox students. Its missions focus on helping impoverished individuals - Jews and non-Jews - around the world.

Ever since crow-mage Jack Winter was lost in Hell, there's only one woman who can save Black London. Her name is Pete Caldecott.

Professional Development Program
Logistics Strategies and Networks PDP
Thursday, 09 Apr 2015
9.00am - 4.30pm
Graduation House, 220 Leicester St, Carlton, VIC
This unique intensive professional development program (PDP) examines Freight Network Restructuring and Logistics Strategy and Warehouse Location.
Assoc. Professor Kim Hassall examines the structure of freight networks, what makes good and bad networks. The program has been run internationally and many of the case studies have saved resources for the attending companies. Such concepts as double loop intermodal networks, bi-polar, fork transformations and co-modal terminals will be examined is this short course. As well the applications and benefits of Performance Based Standard vehicles on different networks will be briefly examined.
Dr. David Wilson will present on logistics strategy and warehouse location. Logistics strategy is a complex process that currently is more often than not couched in terms of supply chain planning, alignment and optimization. But a big part of logistics strategy (or supply chains) for any organization is warehousing and transport systems. This course examines in detail the principles of warehouse location and how it relates to logistics and transport. In particular this course examines the relationship between networks and warehouses and shows participants how to design a warehouse strategy that works with its associated transport network. Together, transport networks and their warehouses bring together the essence of strategic supply chain management.

First we had to negotiate ourselves out of the car park and into the Aires car park, which we did with much miming and sign language, our French not being as good as our poor German.

The Variety Photoplays Theatre at 110 3rd Avenue was renovated and opened as a nickelodeon theater in 1914 (most likely incorporating perimeter walls of an existing 1897 structure on the site) and its façade was designed by Louis Sheinhart. A 1930 renovation updated the original 1923 marquee. The theater was closed in 2004 (it had been operated as an Off-Broadway venue since 1991) and demolished the following year to make way for a 21-story condominium tower. www.gvshp.org

Something amiss in Penashue resignation: Byrne
CORNER BROOK Regardless of the strategy or motive of the Conservatives and cabinet minister Peter Penashue, Gerry Byrne says it is a futle attempt to save face.
The Liberal Commons member for Humber-St. Barbe-Baie Verte was reacting to Thursdayãs news that the Member of Parliament for Labrador resigned his seat and would be seeking re-election in a byelection.
Penashue, the intergovernmental affairs minister, re-paid $30,000 in ãineligibleã campaign donations from the 2011 election.
Byrne called it deceitful if the resignation and byelection is part of an attempt to bypass the investigation, and the ultimate findings of Elections Canada into any potential criminal charges.
He said he also can not fathom that somebody could allegedly make that many errors to such a degree and not be aware of it.
ãItãs so farcical, it is beyond comedy,ã he said. ãIt is tragedy.ã
Penashue does not have much success from his time in the House of Commons to run on, according to Byrne. The long-time Liberal member said changes to employment insurance, old-age security benefits, the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, and search and rescue resources in Newfoundland and Labrador ããincluding the tragedy of Burton Winters in his own riding.
ãWhatãs Peter Penashue going to do, have his campaign slogan, ãvote for me, a strong voice in the government of Canada?ã That motto was tested.
ãHe failed, and he failed miserably.ã
With Liberal MHAãYvonne Jones confirming Friday that she is putting her name forward to run in the byelection, Byrne called her the strongest candidate to be able to come forward.
If successful in the nomination, he believes she will be the next Member of Parliament for Labrador.
ãAnyone can see the incredible value and strength she would bring, not only to the campaign, but to a team in Ottawa,ããhe said.

Welcome to my Enagic balanced water blog. I'm Aasar Bey, Enagic Distributor.
Today, I wanted to explain the historical value of clean, sanitary water. Water purity has been a big player in the health of nations since the dawn of civilization. Pandemics such as the Black Death and the Bubonic plague demonstrate the relationship between clean water and how it reduces health risks.
Enagic water ionizing systems not only eliminate risks from impure water, they provide you with balanced water to sustain health and help you maintain a proper pH level.
Take a look at SD501 and consider the powerful changes you could see in your life. I recommend Enagic because it is one of the best thing your body can consume. I work out of Gardena, California 90249 serving Orange County/Irivine, Los Angeles/Ventura, Palmdale/Lancaster and everywhere in between.
Unlike London in the 1660s, luckily Los Angeles has sanitation under control. I'd like to help Los Angeles take it to the next level with SD501/Kangen Water. Enjoying SD501 is truly the change you've been looking for.
Another refreshing change might be the opportunity to promote these industry-leading water filtration systems. Joining my team, Kangen1, will relieve concerns about a healthy, pH balanced life as well as concerns about the cost of such a wise and bold move into the world of SD501.
Enjoying Enagic's Kangen Water with zero concerns, that's the history you want to be making.
Call me at 888.746.9997 to find out what this opportunity is and why it meets your current needs.
Thanks for your time.

Steve Rosenbloom is a sports columnist and blogger who has been with the Tribune since 1996. No one can believe he's still here, most of all him. Steve co-hosts sports movie nights with Tribune film critic Michael Phillips because they're fun and they often let Steve pick the movie, starting with "Slap Shot." Steve has written many "Faker's Guides to ..." that you can buy in poster form, and Steve wishes you would. Steve is featured in daily sports videos despite having a face for radio. Steve loves a woman he calls Luscious, and just you never mind how she got that name, mister. Steve also enjoys cigars and pinot noir, but has developed a recent taste for red blends, if you're buying. Steve likes show tunes and still tears up at the end of "Field of Dreams."
Gary Kubiak gave the right answer. Now, can Ryan Pace?
Team president Ted Phillips started the show to introduce Ryan Pace as the Bears new general manager. So, there you go: The Bears lost the press conference on the opening kickoff.
So far, the Bears look like they're doing things the right way.
You're early, Todd Bowles. We didn't expect to see you until Saturday. That's when you were originally scheduled to interview for the Bears' head-coaching position.
For those of you scoring at home, that's Brian Gaine of the Texans and Lake Dawson of the Titans interviewing for the Bears general manager job Tuesday, with Chris Ballard of the Chiefs and perhaps Ryan Pace of the Saints scheduled for Wednesday.
The Choice (and remember, death is not an option): Jay Cutler or Brandon Marshall?

|Utility: Bad device caused Super Bowl blackout
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 08 February 2013 04:39
Officials of Entergy New Orleans say the device, called a relay, had been installed to protect the stadium from a cable failure between the company's incoming power line and lines that run into the stadium.
Company officials said the device performed without problem during January's Sugar Bowl and other earlier events.
They said the device has been removed and replacement equipment will be installed.
The power failure cut lights to about half of the stadium for 34 minutes, halting play between the Baltimore ravens and San Francisco 49ers.
