LOL!!!!Thanks for trying. "Atta boy Spike."
Ok Derrick, here you go. Now I'm not sure how you wanted the robot or the creature exactly, the sketch was so light I could hardly see any lines to draw by, so I took some liberties. His right arm just didn't fit the angle so I changed it and put his whole hand in. There was no sketch I could see of his leg so I just had it broken off X). Made Spike a spikey tail and funkified his head. I hope I didn't make it too weird. As for the broken cliff I always have difficulty drawing it (I paint rock better) So I thought you can fix that. As for the robot face... well, I dunno if you'll want to change it. *sigh* My hand hurts and it's late. It's all on ya now, glad I could help. O.O Odd color

COLUMBIA — When Phylshawn Johnson, 31, isn't playing music in one of the four bands she's in, she's giving drum lessons at Access Percussion and Columbia Academy of Music.
For Johnson, it's fun getting to see her students learn and progress.
"It's cool sort of how the light comes on in the mind when the rhythms and the body come together," she said. "Lining everything up is cool to see, especially in a beginner."
Johnson remembered when that moment happened to her, when she started playing music as a 6-year-old in her mother's church.
"I got into music at an early age just because my mom and my dad listened to music a lot," she said. "I would always sing and dance along to the radio."
She remembers the first time she saw a band at church with her mother: "I was just instantly drawn to the music that was happening."
She joined Oak Park High School's band in Kansas City and formed her own rock band by graduation. She later attended MU, where she was a part of the MU Concert Jazz Band.
While Johnson primarily plays drums, she also plays guitar, bass and mandolin and does a little singing. She's been the drummer for the band Violet and the Undercurrents for almost two years and also plays the drums in The Megan Boyer Band and Mr. History. She plays the mandolin for Zorya.
Johnson plans to continue teaching and playing drums, but has been learning how to record and hopes to become an audio engineer. Her favorite part about playing music is connecting with the audience and music at the same time.
"It's kind of like this cycle of energy and if you get the right crowd and the right song and the right everything, it just makes this cool vibe and it feels like you're floating," Johnson said. "It's really sweet."
Supervising editor is Katie Moritz.
In a February 2012 Vox magazine feature, Johnson shared her favorite music.

For Researchers
The Lab exists to help facilitate the research of Columbia Business School researchers. The Lab offers many services in pursuit of helping researchers conduct their studies, and the Lab's staff are dedicated to assisting in any way they can.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Lab Manager with any questions, thoughts, concerns or accolades you may have. We're here to help you!
Using SONA
SONA is an online research system that the Lab utilizes to facilitate participation in our studies. All studies conducted in the Lab are listed on SONA. The Lab Manager is the administrator on SONA, and can answer any questions you may have regarding SONA's usage. Below is some information regarding SONA.
- Requesting an Account
- Posting Studies and Timeslots
- Anonymous Participant IDs
- Participant No-Show Policies
- Prescreen Survey
- Online Research
Requesting an Account
In order to post studies on SONA you will need a researcher account. Only an administrator can create researcher accounts. As such you should email the Lab Manager with your name and UNI and they will create a researcher account for you. With this account you will be able to create studies, post time slots, and manage all your studies.
Posting Studies and Timeslots
With a researcher account you will be able to post studies and timeslots on SONA. Below is information regarding posting.
- IRB Code: No study can be posted on SONA without an IRB approval code and the protocol expiration date.
- Study Approval: Once you create a study it will have to be approved by the Lab Manager before is it visible to participants.
- Reservations and Timeslots: Timeslots for a study can only be posted after you have received email confirmation from the Lab Manager that your room request has been fulfilled.
Anonymous Participant IDs
SONA assigns all participants a random, anonymous 5-digit ID code. This ID code is the only way you will be able to identify any participant through SONA. You will not be able to get their names, UNIs or emails through SONA. Make sure to ask participants for their ID codes during your study.
Participant No-Show Policies
When a researcher has finished running a study they will log onto SONA and mark attendance. Participants can be marked as having participated, as being an "excused" no-show or an "unexcused" no-show. If a participant reaches three unexcused no-shows during the semester their account is automatically deactivated and they are no longer able to sign up for studies. All unexcused no-shows are forgiven at the beginning of each semester and deactivated accounts are reactivated.
Prescreen Survey
Every participant must take the prescreen survey before they can sign up for studies. This is a 10-15 minute survey containing mostly demographic questions, along with a few psychological scales. Researchers have access to the prescreen responses of all participants who partake in their studies. Researchers can also set it so participants must have given certain answers in order to sign up for their study. The prescreen is also reset every summer, and questions are often added and taken out. If you would like to see any specific questions added, please contact the Lab Manager. Below is a summary of the questions and scales included in the prescreen.
Online Research
Online surveys, such as ones administered through Qualtrics or Survey Monkey, can be conducted on SONA. These survey can easily be set up so that participants on SONA are automatically granted credit for participating in your study, and it prevents participants from taking a survey more than once. The most typical form of payment for online studies conducted on the Lab's SONA is raffles. Contact the Lab Manager if you're interested in conducting online research through the Lab's SONA website.

text: Over the past 50 years the world's richest economies have seen gradual declines in growth rates of GDP per person. The median rate has fallen from over 4% in the 1960s to just 0.02% in the aftermath of the financial crisis, according to the IMF. After a slump in the 1980s and 1990s, middle-income economies rebounded in the 2000s and have maintained a healthy growth rate more recently. Low-income countries have seen the most improvement over time: median growth was 3% in 2008-11. Even better, since the 1990s these countries' "take-offs"— an expansion of income per person averaging at least 3.5% for a period of at least five years—have been more numerous and longer-lasting.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

text: 000 FXUS63 KEAX 040839 AFDEAX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 339 AM CDT Mon May 4 2015 .DISCUSSION... Issued at 337 AM CDT MON MAY 4 2015 A cold front that is draped from northeastern Iowa through southwestern Kansas and is likely brushing the northwest corner of Missouri. Strong isentropic lift around the 305K layer was aiding the continuation of thunderstorms in the vicinity of this front in northwestern Missouri. This convection should persist this morning being driven mainly by what looks like a MCV over northern Missouri. A lack of shear and instability should keep this activity below severe limits. Cloud from this convective cluster, as well as from convection over Kansas may inhibit our peak heating and thus limit just how much instability is able to build during the day. None-the-less, the development of modest instability of around 2000 J/kg seems likely in the vicinity of the frontal boundary over northeastern Kansas and northwestern Missouri. Shear weakens considerably the further south one is from the boundary. But in the vicinity of and to the north of the boundary, shear is stronger, roughly in the 30 - 40 kt range. Thinking that given the CAPE/SHEAR combination, a few severe storms should develop during the afternoon hours in the vicinity of the front, likely over north central KS eastward through northeastern KS and northwestern MO. These look to be more multi-cell with a threat of large hail and damaging winds being the biggest hazards. That front should lift further north during the day Tuesday with the forecast area seeing mid 80 degree heat and a limited potential for convection. With the front lifted north, taking the pooling of moisture with it, instability looks much weaker. For now, have kept the forecast dry for Tuesday. This southwesterly flow pattern will persist throughout the remainder of the forecast. For Wednesday, a shortwave trough will into the Plains with another round of possible storms expected to either move into or develop within the forecast area. At this time, the best combination of instability and shear looks to be over central Kansas. So the threat of severe weather further east, and through our forecast area, looks to be low at this point. With the southwesterly flow persisting, we`ll see fairly high chances for thunderstorms through much of the remainder of the forecast. Fortunately, at this time, the threat of severe weather is low through much of this period given weak upper flow and resultant weak shear. But given the time of year and the pattern in general, the possibility for a few severe storms through the extended portion of the forecast can not be ruled out. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday Night) Issued at 1158 PM CDT SUN MAY 3 2015 Showers and isolated thunderstorms will continue to weaken and shift eastward along the MO/IA border, and should not impact any of the TAF sites this evening. Additional isolated thunderstorms may develop across eastern KS and western MO after 09z, but probability and coverage of any storms will be low. Otherwise, VFR conditions are expected to persist through the forecast period. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. MO...NONE. && $$ DISCUSSION...CDB AVIATION...Laflin

Knight, Peter (2002). Being a teacher in Higher Education. Maidenhead, UK: Society for Research in Higher Education and the Open University Press.
URL: | http://www.mcgraw-hill.co.uk/html/0335209319.html |
Google Scholar: | Look up in Google Scholar |
Being A Teacher in Higher Education draws extensively on research literatures to give detailed advice about the core business of teaching: instruction, learning activities, assessment, planning and getting good evaluations. It offers hundreds of practical suggestions in a collegial rather than didactic style.
This is not, however, another book of tips or heroic success stories. For one thing Peter Knight appreciates the different circumstances that new, part-time and established teachers are in. For another, he insists that teaching well (and enjoying it) is as much about how teachers feel about themselves as it is about how many slick teaching techniques they can string together. He argues that it is important to develop a sense of oneself as a good teacher (particularly in increasingly difficult working conditions); and it is for this reason that the final part of this work is about career management and handling change.
This is a book about doing teaching and being a teacher: about reducing the likelihood of burn-out and improving the chances of getting the psychic rewards that make teaching fulfilling. It is an optimistic book for teachers in universities, many of whom feel that opportunities for professional fulfilment are becoming frozen.

This region is known for good seafood, and crab cakes are a traditional favorite. I learned to make them from a chef in a restaurant where they were a best-seller. The crabmeat's sweet and mild flavor is sparked by the blend of other ingredients.
-Debbie Terenzini, Lusby, Maryland
- 1 pound fresh or canned crabmeat, drained, flaked and cartilage removed
- 2 to 2-1/2 cups soft bread crumbs
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup each chopped celery, green pepper and onion
- 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
- 2 to 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Lemon slices, optional
- 1. In a large bowl, combine the crab, bread crumbs, egg, mayonnaise, vegetables and seasonings. Shape into eight patties. Broil patties or cook in a skillet in oil for 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve with lemon if desired. Yield: 8 servings.

Government House of British Columbia is the official residence of the Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia, as well as that in Victoria of the Canadian monarch,[1] and has casually been described as "the Ceremonial Home of all British Columbians."[2] It stands in the provincial capital on a 14.6 hectares (36 acres) estate at 1401 Rockland Avenue;[3] while the equivalent building in many countries has a prominent, central place in the capital, the site of British Columbia's Government House is relatively unobtrusive within Victoria, giving it more the character of a private home.
The first building in the area used specifically as a governor's residence was Cary Castle, built in 1860 by George Hunter Cary and purchased five years later by the British Crown for use as a seat for the Governor of Vancouver Island, Arthur Kennedy being the first occupant. Following the 1866 merger of the colonies of British Columbia and Vancouver Island, the mainland colony's Government House in New Westminster was abandoned to other uses and Cary Castle became the official residence of the new united colony's Governor and, from 1871 onwards, that of the provincial lieutenant governor.[4]
The mansion and its contents were destroyed by fire in May 1899, with a replacement immediately built to designs by Francis Rattenbury and Samuel Maclure.[5] Completed in 1903, this house was used for the first time by the reigning monarch of Canada when King George VI, accompanied by his wife, Queen Elizabeth, arrived in 1939 as part of his cross-Canada tour that year. However, that incarnation of Government House also burnt down when it caught fire on 15 April 1957; the current Government House was begun soon after and completed on 19 May, two years later. The new home was furnished with pieces bought in the United Kingdom by Lieutenant Governor Frank Mackenzie Ross and then donated to the Crown following his departure from office, as well as other items donated by various British Columbians.[4]
By 2002, through the efforts of Lieutenant Governor Iona Campagnolo, Government House and its surrounding gardens were designated as a National Historic Site of Canada and the acknowledging plaque was unveiled by Campagnolo on 2 October of that year.[2][6]
Ownership and use[edit]
Government House is where the Canadian Royal Family and visiting foreign dignitaries are greeted and often stay while in Victoria. It is also where numerous royal and viceroyal events take place, such as the bestowing of provincial awards or inductions into the Order of British Columbia, as well as luncheons, dinners, receptions, and speaking engagements. Among many public receptions and garden parties held annually, the lieutenant governor's New Years Day levèe remains a popular and well-attended highlight of the holiday season in Victoria. It is also at the royal residence that the lieutenant governor will drop the writs of election,[7] swear-in new members of the Executive Council,[8] and hold audience with her premier.
The property is owned by the Queen in Right of British Columbia; as with other Crown property, Government House is held in trust for future rulers and cannot be sold by the monarch except by her lieutenant governor with the proper advice and consent from the Executive Council of British Columbia. The management of the residence is, however, overseen by the British Columbia Government House Foundation, a charitable, non-profit organisation that was in 1987 established by Lieutenant Governor Robert Gordon Rogers, along with his Council at the time. The foundation is mandated to oversee the maintenance of Government House's property and all the structures on it; the acquisition, either on loan or permanently, of British Columbia artworks for display in the royal residence; the management of official gifts to the lieutenant governor or monarch in right of British Columbia; and public awareness of Government House, its history, and value. Besides the four honorary trustees—the lieutenant governor, the viceregal consort, the Chief Justice of British Columbia, and the Private Secretary to the Lieutenant Governor—the foundation also has trustees elected for three-year terms from artistic, horticultural, historical, and legal segments of provincial society.[9]
Architecture and interiors[edit]
The present Government House is a T-shaped, four level (including the basement) building of steel frame construction clad in a Modern Tudor revival envelope. The walls are of rusticated blue, grey, and pink British Columbia granite with Haddington Island stone trim,[10] and the roof, which is two storeys high in itself, has steeply pitched, chalet-style gables and numerous dormer windows. A rendition of the Royal Arms of British Columbia is visible in the gable above the Ballroom's south facing bow window, which commands a view over Ross Bay and the lower part of the Fairfield neighbourhood, across the Strait of Juan de Fuca, to the Olympic Mountains in Washington State.
The main entrance is in the centre of the north facade, beneath the original Tudor Revival porte cochère of the previous Government House, which had been inspired by Rattenbury's own Hatley Castle. Behind this is the main entrance hall, the walls lined with oak panelling hung with painted portraits of former Lieutenant Governors of British Columbia, some of the chatelaines of Government House (the viceroy's wife), and large portraits of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Rising to the second floor is a large staircase along which are renderings of the escutcheons of various members of the Royal Family and Governors General of Canada who have resided at Government House.[10] The room is capped by a cathedral ceiling and the three storey high north wall is dominated by the Rogers Window, a stained glass creation commissioned by viceregal consort Jane Rogers to commemorate British Columbia's heritage as a parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy, the contribution of viceroys and their spouses since the foundation of the Colony of Vancouver Island, and the place of Government House in provincial life. The window, unveiled on 2 May 1990, shows various heraldic devices of the monarch in right of the province and the monarch in right of Canada, natural emblems of British Columbia, and historical artefacts alluding to provincial industry and native heritage.[11]
On axis with the front entrance is the largest room in Government House, the ballroom, which occupies the entire south wing of the building. It rises 12 m (39 ft) past an encircling balcony to a cathedral ceiling, from which hangs three Swiss cut crystal chandeliers that match the multiple wall sconces. Artwork includes the series of Millennium Windows, completed in 2006, that run along each side of the ballroom, and, reflecting the view from the room's south window, is a textile piece entitled Reflections at Government House, by Carol Sabiston. Also for entertaining purposes are the main dining room, modelled after the original Rattenbury and Maclure design with its fir panelling and containing a dining suite purchased in Scotland, and the drawing room, which also evokes the previous incarnation of the room. Available for smaller events are the little drawing room, sometimes called the French Drawing Room because of its furnishings of French origin, including a Sèvres clock and vases, and two rooms named for the architects of the second Government House: the Maclure room, done in an Arts and Crafts style with handcrafted furniture and a copper foil ceiling, and the Rattenbury room, used as a smaller dining room on the mansion's second floor and containing a table and chairs from the eponymous architect's personal collection, on loan from the Royal British Columbia Museum.[10] The mansion also holds numerous art pieces in the Crown collection, including works by British Columbia First Nations artists especially commissioned by the lieutenant governor.[12][13]
Government House's 14.6 hectares (36 acres) property is a publicly accessible area tended by volunteers in the Friends of Government House Gardens Society, and are used frequently by the surrounding community, save for when security otherwise necessitates.[3] The site is divided into numerous different zones according to plant life and/or garden style; for instance, the British Columbia native plant garden contains species unique to the province, and the Cottage Garden is arranged in an informal style with a mixture of ornamental and edible plants. There are also gardens to supply cut flowers, herbs, and an orchard with apple, plum, and quince trees; a rock garden tended by the Heather Society of Victoria; iris, lily, rhododendron, and rose gardens (including a formal Victorian rose garden based on the plan of that at Warwick Castle in England); and water features such as the fountain pond and the duck pond. There is also a unique 8.9 hectares (22 acres) Garry Oak ecosystem.[14]

Brown, who sang and co-wrote some of the band's biggest hits from the late 1970s, died Thursday at his home, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel said Tuesday.
In 1975 Brown co-founded Molly Hatchet, a hard-rocking six-piece ensemble with three lead guitarists inspired by the boogie and blues of Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Brown quit Molly Hatchet in 1980, citing exhaustion, put out a solo album and then rejoined the group in the 1980s.

With the decline in sales tax receipts in Jefferson County, City Comptroller James E. Mills said Wednesday that the citys sales tax revenues are down $120,071, or 1.32 percent, for the second quarter, compared with the same time a year ago.
The budgeted amount is also down $568,764, or 5.97 percent, Mr. Mills said. Jefferson Countys sales tax revenues were down for the fifth straight quarter.
While the city budgeted a modest 3 percent gain in the 2013-14 budget, Mr. Mills said, he was still dismayed by the numbers.
We did not expect to see anything this significant, he said.
While Mr. Mills said he did not know why they were down again, Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham surmised they might be attributed to the Dec. 21 ice storm and other winter weather before Christmas that kept shoppers away from retailers. He also was not optimistic about January and February improving, since they are typically weak months for sales tax revenues.
If the trend continues, the city should look at some long-range planning and assess whether sales tax revenues can sustain current city staff levels, the mayor said. The topic will be discussed during the budget session this spring.
Everything will be looked at, Mr. Mills said.

Mostly, though, it's an album that shows Duarte finding his own voice. There are a couple of covers, but even these are handled with the confidence of a man who knows how things ought to sound.
That sense is further strengthened when discussing the current state of blues with Duarte. He won't disrespect the dead, but the living are left to fend for themselves. Duarte's assessments of his fellow musicians follow a pattern: an apparent compliment followed by a damning dismissal.
Take current media darlings the North Mississippi Allstars, for example: "I can appreciate what they're trying to do," says Duarte. "The jam-band thing is kind of cool."
"Their playing is kind of sloppy. The guitar player just doesn't excite me."
How about Kenny Wayne Shepherd?
"Kenny and I are friends. He's a nice kid, and I like him a lot."
And yet?
"I keep waiting for him to come out of the box. There's just nothing original there," Duarte says, then tellingly adds: "It's just the same old Stevie Ray."
With his blues elders, Duarte is more respectful, but his true feelings still show through. When the topic turns to former label-mate Buddy Guy, Duarte first enthuses: "Buddy's a great guy. Whenever I see him I'm very reverent because he's one of the few surviving legends." Then he adds, "Of course, a lot of the stuff he does is kind of showy."
There's some ego at work here, certainly, but no apparent malice. Duarte talks with the air of a man who has seen too much and struggled too long to have to lie about what he thinks.
As for his own future direction, Duarte's focus alternates from the ridiculous to the sublime. "Plans for the future? World domination. I hope to enslave the human race for my own purposes," he says before turning contemplative. "No, I just want to keep growing as a person and as a player. I owe it to myself, to my wife and to my fans. I just want to keep getting better."
The tone having grown serious, he backs away. "Sorry, that started off kind of profound, but it petered out at the end."
Perhaps so, but with a new album and a new lease on life, Duarte's career shows no sign of doing the same.

Mercy Corps Northwest looks to expand its microfinance reach
- Christina Williams
- Sustainable Business Oregon editor- Portland Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
For the last decade, Mercy Corps Northwest has filled a niche in Portland, making more than $3 million in loans to business endeavors that wouldn't be able to secure a traditional bank loan.
But while the service, which also includes training and business classes, has theoretically been available to anyone in Washington or Oregon, the bulk of the benefit has been felt in Portland. Now the program is looking to scale up and extend the reach of its microfinance services into rural Oregon.
"We want to extend regionwide," said John Haines, executive director of Mercy Corps Northwest. "I think there's a shortage of capital."
Mercy Corps Northwest was formed in 1998 by the parent organization, Mercy Corps, with the goal of promoting economic self sufficiency in the region.
One important step would be to extend the microloan program to more parts of rural Oregon. Mercy Corps Northwest is looking for partners to team up with to extend the capacity of the program, which is staffed with three very busy loan officers.
While microloan programs in developing nations are under scrutiny, microloans to businesses fill an important niche in the local economy.
Haines, who helped start ShoreBank Pacific in 1997, estimates 50 percent of the program's loans go to upstarts in need of capital to open the doors of their business. Loans range in size from $500 to $20,000. Loans as large as $50,000 are made to established businesses.
With a write-off rate of 6 percent and 7 percent kept in reserves to cover potential bad loans, the program is stable and steadily growing.
"These are people who might not otherwise have access to financial capital," Haines said. He calls it the "bottom of the economic-development barrel."

Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
In this paper, the performance of blind adaptive receivers for direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems that employ stochastic gradient (SG) algorithms with variable step size mechanisms is investigated. Two low complexity variable step size mechanisms are proposed for estimating the parameters of linear CDMA receivers that operate with SG algorithms. For multipath channels the novel adaptation mechanisms are also incorporated in the channel estimation algorithms, whereas for the single-path case the novel techniques are restricted to the linear receiver parameter vector estimation. Analytical expressions for the excess mean squared error (MSE) are derived and a convergence analysis of the proposed adaptation techniques is carried out for both frequency selective and flat scenarios. Finally, numerical experiments are presented for nonstationary environments, showing that the new mechanisms achieve superior performance to previously reported methods at a reduced complexity.

MSD gives itself high marks in its 2011 performance report
Every day, the Municipal Sewerage District collects and treats — and discharges into the French Broad — an average of 18 million gallons of wastewater, relying on millions of microbes to do what they've been doing since the Earth was young: consume organic waste. And every year, the Clean Water Act requires the utility to provide an assessment of how well they're doing. That report was submitted to DENR August 30; let's take a look.

Re: Rudolf Frank material
That it includes what are obvious scans from published sources like the Schierholz book, which is still available I believe, look like an attempt to gin up the asking price. The photos certainly look genuine, as well as a very few of the documents, but the awards, childhood scrapbook and some of the other stuff - really? I'd want provenance first. If there was a FB or LTB in there somewhere - but I'm sure there are collectors that will eat that stuff up as is. If I were looking to purchase this collection, other than the photos, I'd want a lot more 'meat'. Particularly given the price that this will likely go for - I don't see an asking price or current bid anywhere.

By Dennis Walsh, CNHS
In my travels as a consultant and speaker, I hear plenty of conversation about what's happening in the real estate market and why. Of course it's important for all us to have this understanding as well as an educated opinion on what's coming next. Unfortunately, too many people are so focused on the negative and unknown factors, they're overlooking real opportunities.
For many of us who rode the wild roller coaster markets of the '70s, '80s and '90s, things today just don't look that bad. In those days, I struggled along with my contemporaries to close deals with mortgage rates over 18% while in the throes of a full economic recession. I would light candles at night in hopes the finance gods would someday bring us a 12% 30-year fixed rate again! Yet, with almost every economic factor working against us, legions of brokers, builders, lenders and others continued to look for the sunshine and seek out new opportunities. We were determined to not just survive, but thrive. And we did.
I believe it's time again to get back to reality and back to the basics. The market conditions earlier in the last decade looked more like "the happiest place on earth" than the real world. That was a gift. And of course, there was a serious price to pay for that gift as we faced the conditions of the Great Recession. The great news is that our current climate – interest rates, employment, income growth, household formation and inflation are all at historically favorable levels. Most important, there are millions of people who desire better housing solutions, and this demand will only continue to grow.
What's the key to empowering ourselves to recognize and make the most of today's opportunities? In my mind, there's nothing more powerful than an "abundance" mentality. With an abundance mentality, we believe that there's a lot more business out there if we do the right things to capture it. What we find more often is a "scarcity" mentality, founded on a belief that there's a limited, finite amount of market share. While a perspective that drives us to be better, faster, stronger, etc. than our competition can be healthy, an attitude that the only way we're going to get new business is by taking from someone else is not.
I once heard the story of trainer who was introduced to a sales agent who had been "working" fulltime for two years, but had not yet sold a square inch of real estate. "Shirley," he asked, smiling calmly across the desk from her, "don't you like real estate?"
"Are you kidding? I love real estate!" she gushed. "I've made the most wonderful friends here. I really enjoy the seminars we attend and the office meetings are fun too. I look forward to caravan day every week and the best part of all is the wonderful parties we have during the holidays. Getting involved in real estate has changed my life!"
With a puzzled look, the trainer then asked "If you love this business so much," "wouldn't you like to actually sell some real estate?"
Shirley leaned forward and answered softly "The truth is, when you sell a house, it's really a hassle. There's so much paperwork to fill out and so many things that can go wrong. I hear the stories all the time and it really scares me. I like real estate a whole lot better if I don't have to sell anything."
At this point it was clear he had gotten to the bottom of Shirley's little problem with sales success. As I thought about it, however, I realized that this story carried more significance. Here's someone who is professionally trained and presumably "in the business," and yet she finds the real estate transaction terrifying. And she's not alone.
The reality is that many potential homebuyers find the process even more terrifying than Shirley does. In the case of buying a new construction, we face the normal home-buying fears and then throw in the additional fears of dealing with a builder, construction delays and the myriad of choices and decisions to make. My point is that every day there are millions of people who would love to buy a new home or live in another neighborhood or community, but they're simply afraid of what they'll have to go through to get there.
Based on this reality, one of the most important fundamental messages I share in my certification training is that to really succeed in this business, we've got to find the ways to make it easier for our customers to buy. Anything we can do to make the real estate transaction less intimidating will work to bring buyers into the market who are held back by fear. As obvious as this may seem, relatively few in real estate fully appreciate the significance of this perspective.
Our most successful CNHS™ graduates apply this concept wherever they can in their business. Their outstanding sales success attests to power of this approach. Some examples:
• Educate Your Customers – The more they understand the realities, both challenges and benefits, of the home buying experience, the less intimidating it becomes. Share this information in brochures, advertising, on your website and in buyer seminars. Helping our customers begin the process with realistic expectations benefits all involved.
• Provide Outstanding Communication – In our business, no news is bad news! When our customers don't know what's going on, they feel out of control, which breeds fear and dissatisfaction. Ongoing communication helps them know you're working consistently in their best interests.
• Deliver Outstanding Customer Service – Analyze every aspect of the customer experience and identify the many ways to make it more efficient, simpler and more easily understood.
• Consistently Work to Increase Your Professionalism – Through ongoing market awareness, professional training, organization, etc, we must consistently find ways to increase our ability to deliver the highest level of service and results.
• Above All – Truly Care About Your Customers – There's simply no more powerful way to increase your success than to sincerely dedicate all of your professional skills and resources to helping buyers and sellers make their best decisions about one of the most important components of their lives.
I'm sure you'll agree that the day-to-day practice of real estate sales offers many opportunities for us to improve the home-buying and selling experience. Rather than wasting energy worrying about the scarcity of business, adopting an abundance mentality empowers us to focus on making it easier for people to do business with us.
I believe we are surrounded by an abundance of individuals and families who dream of a new home or neighborhood that will improve the quality of their lives. To enjoy this abundance of opportunity, we must never forget that we're in the business of making these dreams come true.

In 1994 I was diagnosed with celiac disease, which led me to create Celiac.com in 1995. I created this site for a single purpose: To help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. Celiac.com was the first site on the Internet dedicated solely to celiac disease. In 1998 I created The Gluten-Free Mall, Your Special Diet Superstore!, and I am the co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of Journal of Gluten Sensitivity.
This article was posted to the Celiac Listserv by Ashton Embry at: email@example.com in January, 1998:
I became interested in the concept of a Paleolithic Diet in a circuitous way which began with the diagnosis of my oldest son with multiple sclerosis two and a half years ago. I hit the med library soon after I was told that there was no known cause and no effective treatment for MS. My goal was to determine the most likely cause and to then devise a therapy which countered this cause. After reading hundreds of papers and countless more abstracts I reached the conclusion that the main cause of MS is dietary and that dairy, gluten and saturated fat were the three main offending foods. I have summarized this analysis in an essay which is at
The evidence I used to reach my interpretation was a combination of epidemiology, theory (molecular mimicry) and anecdotal data. After the essay was on the web I was contacted by Loren Cordain who pointed out that the foods implicated in MS were recently introduced to the human diet from a genetic point of view and he gave me the references to Boyd Eatons classic papers on Paleolithic Nutrition. From my geological background this concept seemed eminently reasonable so now I had an excellent unifying concept to go along with all the other data. One shortcoming of the evidence was that it was all circumstantial. There was no smoking gun evidence, that is, empirical evidence which demonstrates beyond a reasonable doubt that food proteins really do cause cell-mediated, organ-specific autoimmunity.
As a dutiful civil servant, I made one of my required pilgrimages to Ottawa last week to participate in various mind-numbing meetings. I had a free afternoon so I went out to the Nutrition Research Division of Health Canada where I had the good fortune to meet with Dr Fraser Scott. Dr. Scott has been studying the effect of diet on the development of Type 1 Diabetes in BBdp rats for 20 years. He and co-workers have demonstrated conclusively that Type 1 diabetes can be generated by proteins derived from wheat, soy and milk. So now I had found the smoking gun. Food proteins can indeed induce cell-mediated autoimmunity and not surprisingly the foods which supply the pathogenic proteins are those added to the human diet during the Neolithic. I believe Dr. Scotts work is of great significance for understanding the cause of autoimmune disease and strongly supports Eatons suggestion the diet of our ancestors is the best defense against the diseases of civilization.

ASH officially begins tomorrow (Saturday) but there were
excellent pre-ASH lectures today. Interest is high in our disease and the rooms were full of people from
all around the world, many conversing in languages I don't understand. The
topic everyone was interested in was the progress we are making in myeloma
treatment. Paul Richardson put those
advances in excellent perspective when he commented that in the last decade
there have been 8 FDA approvals for myeloma treatment. Prior to that there had
been no new myeloma drugs approved for 30 years, but as he said, "we still
have a long way to go".

You are right. Most of the data is in the Microwave literature.
All of the microwave simulators will handle the analysis of
these structures and there are some free (or relatively inexpensive)
planar 2D field solvers or calculators which will also handle these
structures. (polar cits25, HP APPCAD, Ansoft Serenade ....)
Rambus is an example of the use of CPW, where the area between
traces is flooded with ground copper.
I've not looked at CPS to determine if there are any manufacturing
advantages, but with CPW there are some distinct tolerance
advantages. As long as the traces are kept wide, impedance
tolerance is generally better for a coplanar structure than for
a microstrip structure. This trend probably holds true for
CPS structures, also.
CPW is a very good construction for high speed signals, analog
signals and differential pairs when you have the room.

grace be with boston
I know these cartoons are done weeks in advance, but couldn't you have moved tomoro's up a notch instead of making sport of marathoners just now?
Agreed. Too soon. Grace be with the victims.
Looks like its the "Waiting at the Bathroom Door" marathon.
and @Richard S. Russell
If this were about runners getting bombed or going off of a cliff or something like that I'd agree, but they're just running in place. I don't see anything offensive in this at all. -
The sun'll come out
Bet your boughtem doller
That tomoro
There'll be sun! -
As a Boston Marathon vet – and huge Boston fan… there's no problem here. Marathoners are survivors – though deeply saddened by Monday's events, we'll all go forward, and run it again. Not so sure about running in place for 4 hours, though…. now that's rough. And who will break ranks and cross the finish line first??? There's got to be a ruling on this! If it was Boston, they'd all cross together.
Bless you, Boston. All of you! -
This is harder than running…
where is the finish line if you run in place?
I think most of the "offended" people are not actually themselves offended, they just think that other people might be offended and pre-leap to their un-needed defense. Just like those who yell "Think of the children!" don't usually have even have children themselves.
Bad time for this cartoon. Boston didn't need nor want the stupid accounts of this nightmare. I don't want these people who set of these bombs to get 15 seconds of fame.
Ever heard of spell check?
Spell check is like the turn signal lever on a car; it's there, but never used.
And the police take a dim view of that sort of thing..
@sandflea was speaking to @nighthawks and @nighthawks was speaking to @Richard S. Russell…so it's all cool. It would be much more cooler if DRS used his SpellChecker app. d;-)

Linus Torvalds: Mitt Romney Is 'A F***ing Moron'
Is it me, or is Linus Torvalds turning into everyone's favourite drunk uncle? The one that comes to any family gathering, drinks all the wine, slags off the hosts before throwing up in the bushes. It might just be me and my distorted perception of gatherings, but Linus is a laugh-riot when it comes to people he doesn't like. This time he's having a go at Mitt Romney for being "a f**ing moron". Let's dive right into this one.
Watch Linus Torvalds Flip The Bird And Say 'F**k You' To NVIDIA
A few days ago, Linux creator Linus Torvalds talked in front of students at the Aalto University Center for Entrepreneurship in Otaniemi, Finland. The chat and its Q&A session was around an hour long and while the bulk of it is probably quite interesting, the best bit — by far — occurs at the 49-minute mark when Torvalds delivers his very frank opinion of NVIDIA and its support for Linux.
Linus Torvalds Loves His New Google Nexus One
Self-described mobile phone cynic and "father of Linux" Linus Torvalds decided to get a Google Nexus One the other day. And while the customer service lines may be clogged over the phone's performance, Daddy Linux is positively pleased as punch.
Linux Legend Loves Some Windows 7
Why would Linus Torvalds, the man behind the Linux kernel, be giving a big thumbs up in front of a Japanese Windows 7 booth?

Geekfest! Lifehacker AU Interviews The Linus Torvalds
Sarah of Lifehacker AU notoriety (Gawd bless 'er) yesterday did what computer geeks everywhere would gladly kill for – interview computing legend Linus Torvalds. So what's the man like? A gadget hound? An evil amazing genius? Frankly, the answers are quite surprising and compelling at the same time. Hit the link for the full interview.[Lifehacker AU]
Torvalds Family Uses Windows, Not Linus' Linux
A piece by Lee Gomes in the WSJ argues that Linux has a long way to go. Proof of this, he says, is the fact that even back in the open-source mother country, Finland, Linus Torvalds' father and sister use Windows, not Linux. (His mother, however, apparently does use Linux.) Regardless of what Torvalds' dad might think, Linus did get some Windows trash talk in there:
