Responsibility for the recruitment of candidates for non-academic positions is shared between the hiring supervisor and Staffing Services in Human Resources. Supervisors are asked to provide a detailed description of job duties and experience requirements for each available position to begin a search to identify qualified candidates from within the Institute and from external recruitment sources.
2.1.1 Definition of Payroll Categories
The payrolls for which the Human Resources Department has primary responsibility with regard to employment, recruitment, and salary administration are the following non-academic Institute payroll categories:
Administrative Staff: individuals with professional or administrative responsibilities appointed within the departments and offices of the central Institute administration.
Sponsored Research Staff: individuals with professional research or administrative responsibilities appointed on research projects or programs within research centers, laboratories, or academic departments.
Support Staff: These appointments encompass positions involving duties of a primarily clerical/secretarial and administrative support nature, as well as some which support the Institute's data processing operations, the library and accounting functions, and some specialized research positions.
Terms, conditions and benefits may differ in some respects from those provided to other staff groups. Support staff positions are covered by the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act and are subject to the Act's overtime provisions.
Service Staff: These classifications represent research support, maintenance support, the trades, and other services such as housing, security, and laboratory protection. The Service Staff are union hourly-paid classifications. Terms, conditions and benefits may differ in some respects from those provided to other staff groups. Service staff positions are covered by the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act and are subject to the Act's overtime provisions. For more information, see Section 8, Labor Relations.
Appointments in the payroll categories described above may or may not have a defined term limit and end date. Appointments in these categories may be terminated as described in Section 6.0, Termination of Employment; note that special rules may apply for Service Staff, and administrators or managers should consult with the Labor Relations group.
For more detailed discussions of academic and research staff categories, see Policies & Procedures.
2.1.2 Types of Non-Academic Appointments
See details on types of non-academic appointments.
2.1.3 Request for Personnel
As soon as it is known that a job will be available, a Request for Personnel Form is sent to Staffing Services and to the Human Resources Officer assigned to the department, with all necessary approvals and payroll accounting information. This form authorizes that a person may be hired, as well as provides information about the job, enabling Human Resources to recruit and refer qualified applicants. Special emphasis should be given to the position description. Some points that should be covered are the following:
- the specific as well as general responsibilities involved in the job;
- the particular field of research or administration;
- the people with whom the employee can expect to interact (students, visitors, faculty, etc.);
- the number and types of positions occupied by persons with whom the employee will work (six faculty, a research team of physicists, one-person office, etc.).
The "Special Qualifications" section of the Request for Personnel Form should include the applicable experience and/or educational requirements of the position, and any particular skills needed to perform the duties required.
2.1.4 Posting of Available Positions
Brief job descriptions of most non-academic positions on campus are posted online; jobs at Lincoln are posted on its website and may also be posted on the campus website. These postings inform members of the MIT community of the availability of specific positions and facilitate the identification of lateral and promotional transfer opportunities by current employees. Additionally, the postings initiate the external recruitment of qualified individuals with special emphasis on the identification of disabled and Vietnam-Era veterans, candidates with disabilities, and underrepresented minority and women candidates.
Departments may request the advertisement of positions in professional journals or websites and should consult with Staffing Services regarding the most effective advertising sources. The charges incurred are in most cases the responsibility of the department.
2.1.5 Posting Requirements under Union Contracts
Positions covered under collective bargaining agreements are generally subject to posting and bidding requirements as outlined within each union contract. These procedures are followed routinely for each vacancy.
Where specified in the union agreements, union members have the right to apply for vacancies within their own bargaining unit before applicants from outside the bargaining unit may be considered.
A vacancy filled through the union posting procedure is considered to have fulfilled the Institute's general posting requirements.
2.1.6 Waiver of Posting Requirement
Under special circumstances a supervisor may request a waiver of the Institute posting requirement for a particular position. Requests will be evaluated on an individual basis by the appropriate Human Resources Officer for the department and must be approved in writing by the Senior Officer for the area for all positions exempt from overtime pay. The posting requirement for positions covered by a union contractual agreement may not be waived.
2.1.7 Employment of Members of the Administrative or Sponsored Research Staffs by Two Departments
A staff member should not perform services for another department (other than those that are a normal part of his or her duties at the Institute) without permission from the Department Head of the home department. Non-faculty staff members employed on a full-time basis may not receive additional compensation from the Institute for extra work commitments.
Limited exceptions may be considered, on a case-by-case basis, with the approval of the area Dean or Vice President provided that:
- an individual possesses special skills not related to his/her primary work and duties;
- it is in MIT's interest to use these skills;
- prior permission is obtained; and
- a supplement to the individual's salary is agreed upon to cover the special activity, and is added to the individual's annual pay (e.g. $500 per year to work as an assistant coach).
Such cases should be presented via the Director in the Human Resources Office responsible for employee relations or employment policy.
Supervisors should determine whether an individual is already employed by MIT on any payroll or in consulting status before making an employment agreement, regardless of the duration of the appointment.
Supervisors who wish to employ a part-time staff member outside his or her home department should discuss the particular situation with their Human Resources Officer. (See Policies & Procedures for details regarding joint appointments for academic staff.)
2.1.8 Employment of Members of the Support or Service Staffs by Two Departments
Support or Service Staff members may not normally be employed by two departments on a permanent basis. Arrangements may be made on a case-by-case basis for a part-time employee to do work comparable to his or her permanent position at MIT. Additional appointments must be at the same grade level and salary rate as the employee's primary appointment. This work should have the approval of supervisors and Administrative Officers in both departments as well as the appropriate Human Resources Officers. Such arrangements will be made only when the operational needs of the Institute require it and only when the arrangements can be made without undue administrative and payroll costs.
Supervisors should consider issues such as the accrual of additional sick leave and vacation hours by the home department and the incurring of premium pay liability in the evaluation of such a proposal. These situations are effected by a personnel action changing the individual's base work week and may involve an account charge transfer. (See Section 5.2, Implementing Changes in Employment Status).
Part-time hourly employees who wish to work more hours at MIT on a regular schedule should discuss their interest with their Human Resources Officer. If work demands in their department do not permit such a change, a transfer to another position requiring more hours may be necessary.

Talaq uttered thrice by a Muslim man on a mobile phone will be considered valid even if his wife is unable to hear it all the three times due to network and other problems, a fresh fatwa has ruled.
This ruling was given by the Darul Ifta, the fatwa department of leading Sunni Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband, in reply to a question posted by a man.
He had asked that in case no witness was present when he uttered talaq over phone, would it be considered valid.
"I angrily said talaq three times to my wife on cellphone but she claimed that she didn't hear it even once, and nobody was around. Please tell me whether the talaq has taken place," he asked.
In its reply, the Darul Ifta said, "If you have said talaqs thrice to your wife, it is valid."
The fatwa said the woman would be free to marry after her iddat period (three months after divorce) is over.
"It is not necessary that for talaq to take place the wife hears it or witnesses are present," it ruled.
In October, the seminary had ruled that saying talaq three times even in jest was valid as per Islamic law.
A youth, in his query, had said that while chatting with his wife over the net he had playfully typed talaq thrice.
Claiming to have little knowledge about Islam, the youth said he didn't know how a talaq was executed.
The youth said he was living happily with his wife and wanted to live with her in future as well.
The Darul Ifta, in its reply, said once talaq was spelt out thrice it amounted to a divorce.
As per the ruling, the woman would be required to complete the iddat period after which she could marry another man. She would be then required to divorce her second husband and go through the iddat period again. "Only then would she be allowed to re-marry her former husband."

I am picking up my new 2013 DCSB TRD Sport tomorrow from the dealer. With my purchase they are including ToyotaCare free of charge. With that they will change my oil for the first 2 years or 25,000 miles. They explained that the new trucks come with synthetic oils and therefore they change the oil at 10,000 miles. That seams really high for my taste. I would think that 5,000 or 7,500 miles at the most, but not 10,000 miles.
What say you?

.45 judge conversion
I am pretty new to handguns so be easy on me. I bought a .45 judge that shoots long colts I am wondering if I can modify my cylinder with a moon clip to shoot acp shells as well. The long colts are fun to shoot but are pretty expensive.

The only problem being cost is that for around the cost of machining your Judge for clips you could probably set up for reloading 45colt, not to mention 45 ACP isn't cheap in of itself. Other wise yes it could be done but if it were me I wouldn't sink that kind of money into a Taurus.

It would probably work, but your brass may not like it.
.45 Auto is a tapered case, .476" at the case head and .473" at the case mouth. .45 Colt is straight wall, .480" May not seem much difference, but its enough for brass to swell each time its fired in that chamber, and coupled with sizing it back down, it will work the brass much quicker than normal, and shorten case life accordingly for a reloader. And, even new factory loads could split the cases in the chamber if there is too much slop around the case. I wouldn't do it anyway, the cost to machine it for clips, and the fact that I don't really care for the brand of firearms would be huge turn offs for me.

Pinnacle will do the conversion for $85.
http://www.pinnacle-guns.com/revolver.asp There are two questions: First, is chamber spacing on the Judge the same as other Taurus 5 shot .45s like the Raging Bull? Probably, but you need to know for sure. Second, will accuracy with .45ACP be acceptable after the bullet kind of wanders down that long long cylinder with hybrid .45 Colt - .410 Shot chambers? Oh, yeah, and how many clips will you want at $69.96 per baggie of ten? That's right, $7 apiece. http://www.moonclips.com/cart/shopdi...ries%3C%2Fp%3E |

Also consider that the .45 ACP pressures exceed the design specs of your gun by a whopping 50%.

Reloading equipment would be a better choice to save money. Plus it's easy to get started with the basics, and lots of fun in itself!
Lee makes good equipment at a very reasonable price. Check into it rather than modifying your Judge to something that might not work all that well anyhow.

S&W Governor shoots 45LC, 410 & 45ACP
So it should work if modified for 45ACP also.
Most likely it would void the lifetime warranty. But I think that reloading is a better option in reducing cost. I asked around and ended up with a 5 gallon bucket of wheel weight. Mold cost me $26 and a friend allows me to use his progressive set up. Cost per reload is 3 to 5 cents. Brass and lead are the most expensive components. I think the advantage of the 45ACP is the ease of reloading, as the 45LC speedloader contacts the grip. 45ACP on moon clips would be much shorter and eliminate the issue with the grip. |

Isn't the Judge 5 shot? If so, moon clips could be a problem.

Yes, the SAAMI spec for 45LC is 14k PSI. But, that's really there for older guns like the pre-war Colt SAAs (specifically, AFTER the black powder era but before WW2). The "real" modern spec for 45LC "standard pressure" is between 20k and 22k. And a Judge that happened to be built right at the Taurus plant can cope with that kind of thing, and the 45ACP is a 21k round per SAAMI. I wouldn't push it to 45ACP+P mind you! That said, if the goal is to shoot the gun at lower cost, you're better off with a low-end reloading setup for 410 or 45LC than to pay the machining costs and the cost for a set of moon clips. Your up-front costs getting into reloading will be lower and extra dies for other calibers won't be much extra. For very low cost reloading stuff, go here: https://factorysales.com/ Pay particular attention to the hand press kit for $38: https://factorysales.com/html/xcart/.../rlpress2.html A set of powder scoops for $8: https://factorysales.com/html/xcart/...g/powhan1.html A basic scale for $22, used to check the weigh on what you're scooping with the scoops, with a particular powder: https://factorysales.com/html/xcart/...g/powhan2.html (HINT: take the scoop, push it down into the powder, let it fill up "naturally", lift it straight up and out, then slide off the "mountain" on top with something like a credit card. That gives you the same scoop every time.) Dies - I'd go with carbide plus the factory crimp die for $33: https://factorysales.com/html/xcart/...g/dies-p7.html Get the primer pocket cleaner for a buck fifty, and at least a case length gauge for $3.80: https://factorysales.com/html/xcart/...g/casecon.html With lower-pressure straight-wall handgun rounds (incl. 45LC and 45ACP) you won't have to do a lot of case trimming (unlike the bottleneck rifle rounds). You can also start out cleaning shells by hand with a small toothbrush and basic cleaning solution - check which type, some cleaners make the brass go wacky. Add all that up, you're at about $106. At that point you can reload 45LC cheaper than you can shoot surplus or reloaded-by-somebody-else 45ACP, esp. if you buy your bullets by the thousand-pack (which also saves on shipping). You can actually go even cheaper with the "whack a mole" loader: https://factorysales.com/html/xcart/...html#LeeLoader This replaces both the hand press and the die set. WARNING: this doesn't do a full-length resize, so it's only useful if all the chambers on your revolver are even - which likely means they were all cut with the same bit/reamer set, each chamber done in sequence. Newer Rugers such as my New Vaquero are like that and hence compatible with this tool as long as I were to only reload rounds I fired. So to see if your Judge would work, take five fired shells and fit each fired shell into all five chambers, to see if there's any "free play" or tightness. If they all fit nice and snug and even into all the chambers then cool, you do have this critter as an option - the cheapest reloading kit available. I'd still score the other stuff, including the scale, dippers, etc. but for basic practice loads the data and single dipper that come with the kit would work. Here's how the cheapo-loader works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nwr0FyJOk-4 This video shows you how fast a single case can be reloaded with one of these once you're up to speed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeEl9wZyabc A much more detailed view: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-LA2G_Sy4I

Wednesday media watch [05.12.12 PM]: Agbonlahor on bright future
ClubCall: Gabby Agbonlahor claims Aston Villa are 'an improving team' and he is 'excited' at the prospect of a successful future at the club. The Villa hitman, who has spent all of his career at the club since breaking into the first team six years ago, has seen many changes in that time with a host of managers and players passing through the doors. ClubCall: Ashley Westwood claims he has already made big improvements as a player since joining Aston Villa in the summer transfer window. Villa boss Paul Lambert swooped to sign the midfielder on a four-year deal from League One Crewe just before the August 31 transfer deadline. Best Of The Rest BBC Sport: West Ham United have been named as the preferred bidders to take over the Olympic Stadium. BBC Sport: Neil Lennon reckons steering Celtic into the last 16 of the Champions League would be his "best achievement as a manager". Sky Sports: Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas says he is hopeful injured winger Gareth Bale will only miss one Premier League game. *The extracts on this page are taken from various newspapers and media outlets.

text: Hodgson open to giving Cole armband http://www.ontheminute.com/news/news.php?news=40508 Roy Hodgson might give Ashley Cole the captain's armband for England in their midweek clash with Poland. The player would make his 100th appearance for England if selected for the San Marino game prior to that, but has come in for criticism after attacking the Football Association over the ruling on his friend and team mate John Terry's four match suspension for being found guilty of racially abusing Anton Ferdinand. |

The University of Maryland University College on Tuesday announced a partnership with Walgreens that features a 25 percent discount on out-of-state tuition for all employees of the drug-store chain, as well as for their spouses and dependents. The university is also waiving application fees for Walgreens' employees. The company last week announced its Walgreens University, through which employees will have access to several higher education providers. And Walgreens is doubling its spending on employee education.
Partnerships between corporations and institutions with substantial online degree offerings appear to be on the rise, and the new agreement is similar in some ways to the relationship between the American Public University System and Walmart.

The upgraded EWS-1354 Series of whole home water filtration and conditioning appliances is designed to provide quality, filtered and conditioned water to the entire home, which creates a healthier water environment for you and your family.
EWS Filtration
EWS Conditioning
The Result
EWS will deliver water throughout the home at the flow rate and pressure normally found. The automatic backwash does not allow the filtration media to pack, channel or pool, this prevents any bacterial build-up and provides continued and renewed surface area for filtration. Years before media (not a cartridge) and ICN replacement based on usage and conditions. Larger units available based on water conditions, usage and/or line service size.
Proper Application: EWS-1354 Series should be considered based on harder water, larger homes, larger families (5 or more), greater water usage, multiple water heaters, pools, spas, main service line and/or water conditions, based on greater filtration bed depth and additional conditioning capabilities.
Filtration options based on actual water conditions and/or consumer need, or consumer concern or preference. Whole home filtration can be combined with specific sink units for drinking (oral intake only) due to specific water problems or conditions, or consumer's needs or concerns at the point of use.
Hardness minerals, naturally found Calcium and Magnesium are not contaminants nor health issues, strictly aesthetic, however; based on water conditions or consumer preference (you or a member of the household may like the slippery feeling in a shower or believe the only relief is found in a softener), then add a softener (this is not a filtration product) to the hot side only, easily accessed at the inlet side to the water heater. This will compliment the EWS Appliance, satisfy different needs and limit the softener and its' usage to hot water only, which limits its salt usage and brine discharge.

Comments about Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8" Book Cover - Black:
I really like this cover. It's not as bulky as so many other covers out there. I never use the stand-up feature so I can't comment on that but I would highly recommend this cover for you Galaxy Tab 3.
By Gadglover1
from Undisclosed
Good product overall, was expecting more, especially at this price. The camera lens did not line up with the hole on the case, my lens is at the side and the case hole is in the middle
By Anonymous
Bought this cover for my tab. As in previous reviews, the design of the stand is flimsy. So much, that it caused the tablet to fall, cracking my screen. Tablet is only a little more than a month old. Samsung's warranty does not cover physical damage, even when their own product made to protect the Tab is the cause. Was quoted $200 to repair the screen.
Expensive, but excellent!
By Energizer
from Long Island, NY
You can spend a lot less $$, but this is the highest quality and slimmest case available. When you fold the cover back for reading it is very comfortable to hold, while less expensive cases can be uncomfortable. If you want the best, this is it!
Great material, fits well, falls over when used as a support
By almoh
from Tampa
If you are going to use this cover to support the Tab in the horizontal position for hands free use, it will fall over if you tap the screen. The front cover does not have a strong magnet. When the screen is tapped, it will fall flat on its back. Other models have a tab to insert the cover into when the cover is used as a stand to keep it from falling flat on its back.

Azamara Journey Cruise Review by Mistysmokey: Best value cruise ship

Compare Prices on Azamara Journey Baltic Sea Cruises
Best value cruise ship
This was our first cruise on the Azamara Journey but sailed previously on their sister ship, the Quest. Both experiences were outstanding. Having sailed on several cruise lines and ships over the past years for a total of approximately 20 sailings, including Silver Seas, Cunard, Princess, NCL, Carnival, etc., I feel they all offer fine service and I have no complaints, but Azamara goes the extra mile. This voyage departed July 6, 2012 from Copenhagen to Amsterdam. Ports included Skagen, Denmark; Bruges; London (Greenwich); Antwerp; Rotterdam and Amsterdam. There are several factors that distinguish this line from others. The pricing - their rates are generally lower than other lines for similar itineraries. Also, many sailings are offered with a 125% charge for single occupancy. Complimentary wines are served with lunch and dinner and gratuities are included in the fare. Soft drinks are available at all times and the cabin refrigerator is stocked with soft drinks as well. More
Their excursions are available at significant discount when booked on their website prior to sailing.
The ship's staff, mostly from the Philippines, is outstanding - consistently efficient, polite, gracious and accommodating.
In addition to the main dining room, there are two fine optional restaurants: We had dinner in Aqualina which was comparable to any five-star restaurant. It is well worth the $25.00 pp surcharge In addition, there is Windows Cafe where they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet. Each night features a regional cuisine and the restaurant is attractively decorated from that region with white linen and candles. They also have snacks and specialty coffees available throughout the day and night at Mosaic. The pool grill serves salads and grilled items from 11:00 a.m to 6:00 p.m. All the food served on board was delicious and bautifully presented. They were always able to accommodate my requests for vegetarian selections in all the venues and my traveling companion had no problem being accommodated with gluten free choices as well including pastries, bread, cookies, etc.
Passengers were predominately seniors and only a few children. Out of 650 passengers, 551 were from the U.S.
Several venues have live entertainment including a guitarist, a harpist and cabaret enterainer, Steve Green. The main show room had standing-room-only performances every evening with production shows and solo performances by singer Helen Jayne and pianist/comic John Bressler among others - all very entertaining. Cruise director, Eric DeGray promotes himself as an "international singer" and in addition to his duties as cruise director, hosts and performs in several shows. He proved to be a very accomplished entertainer. His repertoire included mostly audience pleasing show tunes from past popular Broadway shows with some theatrical performances thrown in. Less

As summer rolls into fall, asthmatic athletes have a few additional obstacles to overcome compared to other athletes due to their risk for asthma attacks. This seasonal transition often takes a toll on asthmatic athletes due to the change from hot, humid air to dry, colder air. However, with proper education and prevention asthma shouldn't have to sideline your child.
Asthma is a disease involving the respiratory system which consists of the airway and lungs. There are 2 basic components: Inflammation or swelling of the tissues in the respiratory tract and constriction of the airway known as bronchospasm. This process leads to the symptoms of asthma which consist of coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, pain/tightness in the chest and fatigue.
Asthma can be triggered by any number of things including allergens, respiratory infections, weather conditions and physical activity. People with normal resting lung function who develop symptoms only with exercise have what is known as exercised-induced asthma. Some other conditions that can be mistaken for asthma, especially in athletes, are heartburn/reflux, heart problems and vocal-cord dysfunction.
Asthma is best managed under the care of a physician who must first confirm the proper diagnosis based on symptoms and lung testing. Once asthma has been diagnosed, the first step in treatment is to identify and eliminate triggers. For mild cases, a fast-acting inhaler like albuterol may be used to treat symptoms once they occur. For more severe asthma, a daily preventive medicine such as an inhaled steroid may be needed. It is always best to have an emergency plan in place in the instance all other methods fail.
The key to keeping your asthma under control is prevention. If you are someone who regularly gets symptoms during exercise, using a fast-acting inhaler before an event can help prevent attacks. It should be used 15-20 minutes before exercise to allow enough time for the medication to take full effect. If this measure is not adequate in controlling symptoms during exercise, a daily preventative medicine may be needed.
There are a few steps you can take to minimize your risk of an asthmatic attack:
If you suspect your child may be suffering from asthma consult your primary care physician. If the symptoms do not resolve in a timely matter or continue to linger go directly to the nearest emergency room. It is important to take note on the type, length, frequency, and severity of symptoms so the physicians can treat the patient accordingly. Consult your physician if you are having difficulty managing your asthma effectively.
Consult your primary care physician for more serious injuries that do not respond to basic first aid. As an added resource, the staff at Nationwide Children's Hospital Sports Medicine is available to diagnose and treat sports-related injuries for youth or adolescent athletes. Services are now available in five locations. To make an appointment, call (614) 355-6000 or request an appointment online.

AlcoholAbuseDetox.org Website Launches to Help Alcoholics Safely Detox and Recover from Alcoholism
AlcoholAbuseDetox.org recently was launched with the goal to help raise awareness of alcoholism, and help people get on a safe path to recovery.
New York, New York (PRWEB) June 04, 2013
It should not be a secret to anyone at this point in time that alcohol, opium, heroin, marijuana and all other drugs are available in the market — whether they are legal or not. It must be left to local, state, and federal authorities to combat the problems of how it is so easily available.
However, the website AlcoholAbuseDetox.org has embraced the mission of helping those already in the throes of addiction — in this case, primarily focusing on alcohol addiction.
They are not naïve to the fact that although the use of alcohol is only legally available to those over 21 years of age in the US, the sad fact is that underage drinking is its own issue, and that alcoholism does affect some teenagers is something that cannot be denied.
Those who run the Alcohol Abuse Detox site acknowledge that the vast majority of people who choose to drink alcohol are able to do so without exhibiting any problems of dependency. The problems arise when people become either addicted, or their use of alcohol is such that their lives and responsibilities have begun to be affected to the point where jobs and family relationships are threatened.
According to staff at the site, "It is the company´s intent to not only offer education and awareness of alcohol abuse and addiction, but to offer referrals and assistance to those for whom alcohol has become an imminent danger to their health." This, they say, is where it becomes imperative to get a client into a detox and rehabilitation program as quickly as possible.
One spokesman for the site explains that in some cases, alcohol withdrawal and detoxification can be extremely dangerous for a heavy user to experience on his or her own. "The fact is — and not everyone understands this," the spokesman elaborates, "is that in some patients, withdrawal without medical supervision can be fatal." What you can expect while experiencing alcohol withdrawal symptoms goes far beyond cravings, according to the site. "Delirium Tremens — commonly known as ℠DTs´ is one of the most serious side effects of withdrawal," they explain.
AlcoholAbuseDetox.org has recently announced the availability of a specific and customized treatment plan for clients.
A visit to the website also offers educational videos specifically targeting the various aspects of alcohol use, abuse, withdrawal, and recovery.
The website also offers its service to those who have already attempted to quit drinking, but with limited or no success. According to the site, "alcohol is an insidious drug," that promotes the release of proteins called endorphins, which in turn is what gives the user that "good" or pleasurable feeling.
"Making it through the detox stage is just the beginning," they assert, further explaining that their services go far beyond referrals for detox. "It will take a lot more than will-power on the part of the client," they say, and emphasize that their goal is to work with clients long after the initial effects of alcohol have left the body.
That, they say, "is when we roll up our sleeves and really get to work."
To learn more, visit the website AlcoholAbuseDetox.org and let a professional step in and help.

Monro, Surya (2006) Evaluating local government equalities work: The case of sexualities initiatives in the UK. Local Government Studies, 32 (1). pp. 19-39. ISSN 0300-3930
Metadata only available from this repository.Abstract
Measurement, as one aspect of managerialist practice, has become important in the local government arena in the UK. Legislative changes support the development of sexualities equalities initiatives in local authorities, but there is an absence of systems for evaluating these. Current indices of success can be applied to sexualities work in local government, but these are limited, given the impact of factors such as homophobia, party politics and local government restructuring. Complementary indicators concern policy making, anti-discrimination, and community leadership. Whilst provoking, perhaps, a politicisation of managerialism, such developments may be most usefully framed in administrative terms.

Why the heck can't Nidorina and Nidoqueen breed? Makes absolutely no sense. I'm pretty sure rabbits don't lose their ability to breed that quickly when they get older.
Also. Why can't Flareon learn Solarbeam when every other fully evolved Fire-type learns it?!? Darmanitan gets it, Heatmor gets it, even freaking Magcargo gets it! Y u no liek Flareon, Game Freak?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I dont get how wooper can learn ice punch, shroomish can learn focus punch, but yanmega can't learn fly.

so when using the silph scope it's just clearing your vision. that means it's still a ghost and you're seeing
it's pokemon forme.why can you catch it now?

But then again, waters are normally very shallow at the start and get deeper the further you go. It's odd that in the games (but not in the anime) every single shore has water too deep to walk into at the very beginning?
Well, check this.

Oh yeah; when gen 6 came out, I was disappointed too, but then it started to revive my faith in the future of pokemon.

Why is it you can only use Pokeballs once to catch a Pokemon, but to contain a Pokemon it's unlimited.
you know you can only go in water using 'surf', how do you not drown when surf is used in battle? Surely you can't swim? And when you are surfing, and a wild pokemon appears, you send out the pokemon you are on. What are you holding onto?
One day you will be released in a peaceful and more distant time. What would it be like? I wonder if- I have no regrets. My journey has been good. I served a beautiful queen and you and I shared many adventures. Those memories will always be with me.

Why can't you just swim? Did you never learn or something?
How can you use sandstorm underwater?
Why can't legendaries with genders (e.g. Latios and Latias) breed but the pokemon in Egg Group Ditto can whren they're genderless? Also, there were clearly Latios babies in the anime.
on the village bridge (if you actually noticed) you can only enter the houses that have visible doors and not the ones on the opposite side!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, that and you shouldn't be able to use any Fire attacks underwater, not to mention that using Electric or Poison attacks should theoretically cause serious environmental damage.Originally Posted by omnipotentmiku

Eli's world is a dry and weary one. There's no water, and he walks through the ash of a jagged place, where men eat men and the sky's torn in two.Godforsaken, many would call this dystopian earth. But God is not gone, nor forgotten. For Eli carries, along with his gloves and guns and cruel, broad blade, something special. Something sacred. A book. The Book.In the age gone by, Bibles were burned by the bushel. They caused the War that tore a hole through the sky, the people said. It's a book of evil, the people said. It must be destroyed—wiped from the face of the earth.But they didn't burn them all. Eli found one—or it found him—and for the last 31 years he's carried the thing, protecting it by day, reading it by night. He carries it west, always west, where the sun comes down from heaven and seems to set upon the ground.Eli's not the only one who knows the power of the Book. In the heart of this parched land, a man named Carnegie has built a fiefdom around a precious spring. He's a petty despot with a legion of heavies and a yen for power. And for years he's been looking for the Book—a tool, as he sees it, to unite the weak and feeble-minded, and make him their master. "I grew up with it," Carnegie tells Eli, when he learns Eli is carrying the Book. "I know its power. And if you read it, then so do you."Eli knows. He knows that Carnegie has killed, and will kill, to get his hands on it. But Eli also knows this: Carnegie's not getting the Book. Not while Eli still lives.[Note: The following sections contain spoilers.]
"It's one thing to do good," star Denzel Washington told Reuters. "But you must do good in the right way." And The Book of Eli makes viewers grapple with what that looks like:In this bleak, post-apocalyptic world, there's little reward for goodness. Eli strides down dusty roads like the instrument of an angry god. He can and does rain down bloody justice on a wayward people. Despite his obvious power to take both what he needs and wants, though, Eli often shows both restraint and grace to those he comes across. He barters for goods, paying the exorbitant prices asked. When a woman is sent to seduce Eli, he ignores her advances and instead asks her if she'd like to share his dinner. And he always, always warns assailants to back off.Eli pursues what he believes to be his God-given quest with single-minded determination—in itself an admirable trait. Yet, when forced to make a brutal decision—whether to relinquish the Book or save the life of Solara, a girl who's fallen into his care—he chooses to save the latter, risking death for her sake. He explains his decision to Solara later, admitting he didn't always behave so admirably: After 31 years reading the Bible, "I forgot to live by what I learned from it," he tells her. "Do for others more than you do for yourself. That's what I got out of it, anyway." Other characters show flashes of virtue. Solara rescues Eli from certain death, and once the two of them reach sanctuary, Solara decides to go back to Carnegie's anarchistic town—bearing with her, presumably, God's good news. Solara's mother clearly loves her child and refuses to help Carnegie misuse the Bible.
The premise of Eli centers around the Bible—not just as a book or an object of immense cultural value, but as a source of power. There's a tacit understanding that this power can be abused (Carnegie's selfish desire for the book gives voice to Christianity's darker historical chapters), but we're told, through Eli, that the Bible is inherently a good thing. And as we watch him read it, ponder it and protect it, we better understand how precious its words are. When Eli first meets Solara, nearly the first thing he does is teach her how to pray over a meal. It's this prayer—when Solara tries to repeat it with her mother over breakfast—that tips Carnegie off to the fact that Eli must be carrying the Book. He asks Eli to give it to him, telling Eli that its words are meant to be shared. With the Bible, Carnegie tells Eli, he can help bring light and hope to the people."I don't have the right words," he says, "but the Book does."Carnegie, though, thinks of Scripture as a weapon—a cudgel to beat down the masses. Eli knows differently: We learn that a voice—a voice he takes for God's—led him to the Book and told him to take it west, and that he'd be protected along the way. And it does appear that the hand of God is on Eli: He gets out of unspeakably dangerous scrapes and when some of Carnegie's men shoot at him, the bullets miss—something that mystifies Carnegie's head henchman, Redridge."It's like he's protected somehow," Redridge tells Carnegie.Carnegie doesn't believe it and, when he captures both Eli and Solara, he seems to prove his point. "God is good, is He not?" Carnegie says, as Eli kneels in the dirt."All the time," Eli says."Not all the time," Carnegie answers, shooting Eli in the gut.Carnegie takes the Bible back to town. But when he cracks open the clasp that holds it closed, he discovers that its written in Braille. Eli, who talks at one juncture about how he walks by faith, not by sight, is blind.Eli survives the gunshot and makes his way west with Solara's help. And they find a pocket of civilization holed up in Alcatraz—an echo of the monasteries that outlived the Dark Ages. To the inhabitants there, Eli recites the Bible verse by verse, line by line, while someone transcribes it. The metaphors here are many and they paint poignant pictures of how Eli's blindness changes his faith, how the pages of a Braille Scripture were useless to someone like Carnegie, how Eli hid the Word inside himself.Of note: There's no indication that the folks in Alcatraz share Eli's faith, though they apparently honor the Bible as an important historical and literary work. When Eli's recitation is taken down and published, the finished copy is put on a shelf between the Jewish Torah and the Islamic Quran.
Carnegie tries to force Solara to become, in essence, a prostitute, asking her to sleep with Eli as an enticement to get him to stay. Eli refuses Solara's offer, but does allow her to sleep in his room so she can report to Carnegie that she did as she was told. Another woman tries to seduce Eli by displaying her cleavage—again, without success. Other women are also shown wearing revealing outfits. Carnegie makes a crass reference to female anatomy.
Life is not sacred and a quick death might be seen as a gift in Eli's harsh and bloodthirsty world. The overall tone of the film is far removed from the Sermon on the Mount. Rather, it recalls the Bible's bloodiest passages—where legions of soldiers massacred whole people groups, where kings and queens were left in the street to be eaten by dogs.In the opening scene, we see Eli skewer a hairless cat with an arrow. The body of a dead man—a gaping bullet hole in his head—is seen nearby. It only gets worse from there: Eli's blade claims dozens of lives and limbs—its work often accompanied by sprays of blood. He cuts off a man's hand and slowly drives the knife deep into the man's gut. He shoots people, too, with pistols, shotguns and arrows. Blood gushes from broken noses, gaping wounds and gory stumps. Eli watches from afar (along with the camera) as a handful of bikers shoot a man in the head, killing him. They also kill a woman, yanking her around as if to rape her first. (And when we see her later, dead, her breast is exposed.)Solara is nearly raped. Eli spares her by shooting her assailants with arrows: One arrow—fired just as he unbuckles his pants—juts out of a man's crotch.Cannibalism is clearly practiced by Eli's post-apocalyptic compatriots. He and Solara are once served such meat. And the couple that serves it is later brutally murdered. (We see the woman surrounded by a pool of gore and watch the man get riddled with bullets.) Eli patches up his stomach bullet wound with duct tape. Corpses are seen everywhere—from skeletons left to rot in cars to a man who's hanged himself in a closet. (Eli takes his shoes.) Bombs go off. Cars crash. One bad guy is strangled.
More than a dozen f-words and half-a-dozen s-words. God's name is paired with "d‑‑n." "B‑‑ch," "b‑‑tard" and "h‑‑‑" are said.
Liquor flows at Carnegie's bar. But Eli skips the hard stuff and asks for water instead. "That's the good stuff," the barkeep says.
Eli fibs on occasion—mainly to protect those around him. Body odor is a topic of conversation. Eli reaches into his pants to wash himself.
The Book of Eli is, perhaps, the most explicitly Christian film I've seen come out of the secular film industry since The Passion of the Christ. Indeed, it's something of a Sunday sermon wrapped in a Mad Max adventure. The Bible—what it is and what it says—lies at the heart of this cinematic Book. Denzel Washington, a Christian, co-produced the film, and he reportedly spent a great deal of time massaging dialogue and tinkering with scenes—which may have allowed his own appreciation for faith to shine through. But this is a bloody movie. And its explicit violence feels, often, unnecessary—even within the post-apocalyptic trope we're dealing with. Eli's not so much God's instrument as he is death's angel: For all his morality and reverence for Scripture, he grinds up his adversaries—God's handiwork, made in God's own image—with the ripe regret of a wood chipper. Does the violence eradicate Eli's message? No. Does the message redeem Eli's violence? No.This, then, is a spiritual tale told through the prism of a dystopian Western; a religious story shellacked with gore.

On Thursday, Windstream (NASDAQ: WIN ) will release its latest quarterly results. The key to making smart investment decisions on stocks reporting earnings is to anticipate how they'll do before they announce results, leaving you fully prepared to respond quickly to whatever inevitable surprises arise.
Telecom stocks are well-known for their dividends, but Windstream's 12% yield stands out even among the top dividend payers in the industry. With peers having cut their payouts recently, many investors fear that Windstream could be next in line. Let's take an early look at what's been happening with Windstream over the past quarter and what we're likely to see in its report.

Will Windstream's earnings catch up with its dividends?
Analysts have gotten more pessimistic about Windstream's earnings prospects recently, having cut their first-quarter estimates by $0.02 per share and cutting nearly $0.10 from their EPS consensus for the full 2013 year. The stock has also been a bad performer lately, dropping more than 11% since the end of January.
Windstream is a giant in the rural-telecom industry, with substantial exposure to old-style legacy landlines and other aging telecom infrastructure. Given the limited options available to its customer base, the company has been able to generate substantial cash flow from providing those services to rural residents. Yet more recently, the company and its peers have seen landline customers move to wireless and other alternatives, putting Windstream's core business into decline.
Unlike rival Frontier Communications (NASDAQ: FTR ) , which has cut its dividend twice since 2010, Windstream has been able to maintain its $0.25-per-share quarterly payout for years. One reason has been Windstream's superior ability to make a transition toward higher-margin business services, which are more profitable for the company. Windstream now boasts about 60% of its revenue from business services, up from 40% in 2010. In contrast, Frontier actually saw business-related revenue and customer counts decline during the first quarter, and average monthly revenue per business customer fell sequentially as well.
A recent problem Windstream suffered shows the vulnerability of the company's landline business. Late last month, an outage led to a loss of service for residential long-distance and business toll-free customers. Although the company rapidly fixed the problem, the lack of details on exactly what happened has to be troubling for Windstream and its investors.
In Windstream's quarterly report, pay close attention to whatever the company says about its dividend going forward. Whether it keeps its payout unchanged or makes a cut, the more important thing to understand is the reasoning behind the company's decision. In the long run, the dividend is secondary to Windstream's plans for further growth going forward.

Following the method due to Bhatnagar (P. L.) [Jour. Ind. Inst. Sic., 1968, 1, 50, 1], we have discussed in this paper the problem of suction and injection and that of heat transfer for a viscous, incompressible fluid through a porous pipe of uniform circular cross-section, the wall of the pipe being maintained at constant temperature. The method utilises some important properties of differential equations and some transformations that enable the solution of the two-point boundary value and eigenvalue problems without using trial and error method. In fact, each integration provides us with a solution for a suction parameter and a Reynolds number without imposing the conditions of smallness on them. Investigations on non-Newtonian fluids and on other bounding geometries will be published elsewhere.

The island government placed Ha'apai, Vava'u and the Niuatoputapu group of islets on alert for heavy rain and winds strong enough to cause structural damage.
Cyril was producing maximum sustained winds of about 45 mph as its center passed almost directly over the island of Nava'u.
Outer bands of the storm downed trees and caused light damage well to the north in Samoa.
HIgh surf was also reported as far away as Fiji.
Cyril later lost force well to the south of Tahiti and Bora Bora.
