River Plate held by Rosario Central
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP)
River Plate missed out on claiming a share of the Argentine league lead after struggling to a 1-1 draw with Rosario Central on Sunday.
A victory would have given River the joint lead with Estudiantes, which has won its first two matches to open the Clausura season, the second tournament of Argentina's split season.
Manuel Lanzini scored in the third minute for River Plate, with Carlos Luna equalizing in the 28th.
Boca Juniors is still searching for its first win of the season following a 3-2 home defeat by Belgrano.
Belgrano Cordoba also have one win and a draw after coming from behind to win 3-2 at Boca Juniors.
Juan Forlin put the hosts in front after seven minutes, but Belgrano turned the match around in the second half.
Emiliano Rigoni equalised two minutes after the break, Luciano Lollo made it 2-1 with a 65th-minute penalty and Cesar Pereyra added a third in the 90th minute.
Joel Acosta struck even later to make it 3-2, but it was too little too late for Boca.
In other results Sunday it was: Gimnasia 3, Newell's 0; Lanus 0, Atletico Rafaela 3.
Newell's has only one point from two matches, and Arsenal and Quilmes have lost their first two.
On Saturday it was: All Boys 0, Estudiantes 1; Arsenal 1, Velez Sarsfield 3; Tigre 0, Olimpo 0; Colon 1, Argentinos Juniors 0; San Lorenzo 1, Racing Club 0.
Godoy Cruz defeated Quilmes on Friday 2-0.

When Mullin suited up for St. John's during the 1980s, the program's top rivals were Syracuse and Georgetown. The three...

Patrick Ewing: I would 'love' to coach the Knicks
Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing would love for New York Knicks president Phil Jackson to call him about their head coaching vacancy. Ewing earned 11 All-Star nods in his 15 seasons as the face of the Knicks franchise, a stint that came to an end in 2000. Ewing, who is currently the associate head coach for the Charlotte Hornets, had this to say on CBS Sports Radio Sunday (via NY Daily...

When Patrick Ewing was at Georgetown, he made wearing a t-shirt under his game uniform popular.
"I wasn't the originator, I was just the one who made it popular," Ewing said with a smile. "There's a lot of people who have done it before me but the difference is in my era, that's when TV really got big. We were always on TV. The reason why I wore it was we started playing...
Patrick Ewing is scared of haunted Milwaukee hotel
One of the thing that I do know about NBA coaches and players is that they stay in plenty of hotels over the years.

« A Style Mash-Up | Main | A Win Too Far? »
Posted by Alan Wexelblat
The highest legal review body in France, the Constitutional Council, has said "non" to legislation trumpeted by the Cartel that would have allowed cutting off Internet access of people accused of copyright violations.
The French constitution contains clauses promoting a presumption of innocence and the Council determined that the legislation - which had already passed in Parliament (WAKE UP YOU GUYS YOU'RE BEING OWNED) - violated those clauses as well as infringing on French Constitutional guarantees of free speech.
The legislation already had to be revised once but passed on a second go. Now it's unclear whether the plan will be scrapped or whether Sarkozy will modify the law as the Council described and resubmit it.

Accessibility Guidelines
Accessibility Considerations When Developing Online Courses
The following suggestions are offered to faculty for designing online courses:
Accessible Content and Design
The sites listed help with accessible content and design.
Pictures and Images: Students with blindness or visual impairment use screen readers to access information online. Pictures and other images should have alternative text or "alt tags" that describes the image using semantic meanings. Computers and screen readers cannot analyze images; hence the need for alternative text. Techniques for alternative text can be found at http://webaim.org/techniques/alttext/.
Videos: Unless videos are captioned on websites, current and prospective students may feel courses are inaccessible. Captions are helpful for students with deafness or hearing impairments and those who have auditory processing disorders. These students need to read for understanding. Techniques for captioning videos can be found at http://webaim.org/techniques/captions/. In addition, MAGpie (Media Access Generator) is a free tool to make captions and audio descriptions for multimedia that is accessible to individuals with sensory disabilities such as blindness and deafness. See the following site for details: http://ncam.wgbh.org/invent_build/web_multimedia/tools-guidelines/magpie.
Tables/Lists: Tables and lists are difficult to read using screen readers. To learn how to make them accessible, go to http://webaim.org/techniques/tables/.
Forms: Forms available to all students must be accessible to those who use screen readers and should be able to be completed using only a keyboard. Go to http://webaim.org/techniques/forms/ to learn how to create accessible forms.
Color: Aspects of color should be accessible to those with low vision and/or color blindness. Check the accessibility of color at http://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/. Vischeck is a website that will show how images and webpages will be seen by someone who has color blindness. http://www.vischeck.com/vischeck/
Video Access for the Visually Impaired: Try to use videos with good verbal descriptions in them. Consider offering students information about the Audio Description Project for course requirements that include expectations for students to watch TV shows as a part of the course. This can be difficult for someone with a visual impairment. This site illustrates how one can access audio descriptions of TV programs. http://www.acb.org/adp/tv.html
Online and Distance Learning Programs
Please keep in mind that publisher products that institutions use should be accessible to screen readers and/or have captions if video content is included.
- MyMathLab - http://www.mymathlab.com/accessibility
- MyEconLab - http://myeconlab.pearsoncmg.com/mel_assets/support/accessibility.html
More information about How Can Faculty Address the Issues Facing Students with Disabilities in Online Courses
Research conducted by the University of Conneticut's UDI Online Project (2010) offers information about the issues students with disabilities face in online courses and strategies that can help. A review of relevant research is summarized and issues, strategies and modifcation suggestions aer offered in their Technical Brief: Students with Disabilities and Online Learning can be viewed on their website at: http://www.udi.uconn.edu/index.php?q=content/technical-brief-students-disabilities-and-online-learning.
Accessible Documents
Content loaded to websites must be accessible and therefore creating accessible PDF's is often necessary for student access.
Create an accessible document using Microsoft Word, Power Point, Excel and check it with the embedded accessibility checker before saving as a PDF. Avoid scanning documents and uploading just a picture of the document that cannot be read by screen readers. Start with a clean document (no highlighting, underlining or marking), use original material, if possible, and not copies of books or articles. Use an OCR (optical recognition reader) like Adobe Acrobat Pro because it has an accessibility checker in it that will check the document for images, reading order, etc. Training for creating accessible documents can be found at http://tv.adobe.com/watch/accessibility-adobe/creating-an-accessible-pdf-file/. Check documents by opening file/info and then check for issues. The service will show how to correct errors.
When purchasing content from publishers, ask for a captioned version.
YouTube Videos have a caption component that simply needs to be clicked to turn on captioning (cc). Remind students of this feature. CaptionTube is a site that explains how to caption videos prior to uploading to You Tube. http://captiontube.appspot.com/help/#what
Learning Management Systems
Things to keep in mind:
- Learning management systems chosen for online courses must be accessible by a student's accessible technology.
- Accessibility of course materials is required.
- Colleges and universities that contract with vendors must ensure the services are accessible and must check the product to be sure students can gain access.
- Alternative access should be provided to students for insurmountable issues and should be as close as possible to the access provided to students without disabilities (ease of use and services provided).
- Students are expected to have access when faculty put up their tools for instruction. More about he accessiblity of learning management systems can be found at http://projectone.cannect.org/online-education/lms-accessibility.php.
Additional information about popular learning management systems:
Lessons on Academic Accommodations for Students with Disabilities
The following is a series of Lessons to assist faculty in providing academic accommodations for students with disabilities. The lessons were created by the DO-IT Progam at the University of Washington. The DO-IT Program employs the use of Universal Design so that all students can benefit. The information in these lessons will help faculty understand the specific accommodations provided for students with disabilities in their courses. Alternative accommodations and suggestions are also offered that may be useful when teaching students with disabilities.

Cod - Eat it, read about it
INGREDIENTS: (Serves two)
2 medium baking potatoes
1. Peel the potatoes and slice them as thin as you can. Put the potatoes in a large pan with plenty of salted water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 4 or 5 minutes. Drain and carefully cover with cold water, taking care to keep the potato slices intact.
2. Preheat oven to 400F (200C). Wipe a small baking pan with a little of the olive oil, and arrange about half of the potatoes on it in neat rows, each slice slightly overlapping the one next to it. Drizzle the potatoes with about 1 tablespoon (15ml) of the olive oil. Arrange the cod fillets on top of the potatoes, sprinkle them with salt and pepper to taste, and drizzle on another tablespoon of the olive oil. Arrange the remaining potatoes on top, drizzle with the remaining olive oil and finish with a little more salt and pepper.
3. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the fish is flaky and the potatoes on top start turning crisp and brown.
WINE MATCH: A dry white wine is mandatory, and it had might as well be Mediterranean. I paired it with the Feudi San Gregorio 2004 "Serrocielo" Sannio featured in yesterday's 30 Second Wine Advisor, but the wine was almost too intensely concentrated for this subtle dish. Next time, maybe something dry and crisp but lighter in style - a Soave, maybe, or Vernaccia di San Gimignano.

Cherry bakewell
Reviewed: 09 May 2014 by Giles Dominic, a Straight Engaged Male
Once again excellent delivery service, and wouldn't expect anything else less than being discreet from Lovehoney.
Lovely presentation tin in a shape of a heart. Once you open the lid, the aroma is what Mr Kippling's house must smell like as you are instantly engulfed in what best can be described as Cherry Bakewell Slices.
Once lit the aroma is divine. You can quickly access the oil, using the provided spoon. It's easily poured on to the body.
As for being lickable - the taste doesn't do the aroma justice and I wouldn't say it's a nice taste.
Overall, very good buy.
- Pros
- The smell. OMG. It's lush.
- Cons
- Taste.
- Bottom line
- Anything that smells like a Mr Kippling's slices is a winner in my book.

Smells so good
Reviewed: 13 March 2014 by drhds, a Straight Going Steady Female
Before we even used this candle I was smelling it constantly. My boyfriend even joked that I was addicted.
The oil was a perfect heat - warm enough to notice but not scolding. I was worried that the wax would solidify again but it stayed wonderfully soft and silky.
I liked the amount of friction it caused - enough for you to feel it but while keeping the right amount of lubrication, which I think actually gives it an edge over massage oils.
In all I got a wonderfully sensual massage with the help of this.
- Pros
- The smell, Oh My GOD the smell.
- Cons
- Melted slower than expected.
- Bottom line
- Delicious.

Setting your desires alight
Reviewed: 07 November 2012 by lovinglife, a Straight Going Steady Female
This is a fantastic product and was one of the first purchases I made from Lovehoney earlier this year. It was part of a fairly large order ;-) so arrived very promptly the next day to my office. The packaging is totally discreet so no need to worry about any colleagues knowing what I had been purchasing.
The candle burns very well although you need to start it 10/15 minutes before you want to get going... Make sure you burn it right to the edges too, because as with any candle, if you don't you will get an annoying well in the middle and won't get full use out of this amazing product.
It smells lovely and isn't too hot when poured directly onto the skin. It certainly got us both in the mood and this kind of intimacy does wonders for the sex that inevitably follows afterwards.
I love that the smell sticks around for a couple of days too, so each time you get back into bed you are both reminded of the previous nights events.
Mine has just run out and I will be buying another candle without hesitation.
- Pros
- Smell, taste, feel.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Great candle to set the atmosphere.

Sensual and a bit kinky
Reviewed: 05 August 2012 by Wild172, a Straight Married Male
Set alight to this candle a little while before needed: the sweet smell and candlelight adds sensuality to the bedroom before you even get to the best bit. Once the candle has burned for around 20 minutes the hot oil it creates can be used as a lickable massage oil. Either pour it straight out for a slight kink or spoon it out with the supplied spoon for a sensual massage.The oil is just as good as any other massage oil we have used with the added heat benefit. It even tastes nice when licked. For some the smell may be too intense and for my own tastes the lid would have been nicer if it was subtler - it could then be left out in plain sight.
A perfect gift to the OH which is not only romantic and sensual but also very sexy.
- Pros
- Warm massage oil that can be licked - what's not to like?
- Cons
- Would have preferred a plain lid.
- Bottom line
- Romantic, sensual and sexy. Fantastic product.

This lickable massage candle is so completely lush
Reviewed: 12 October 2010 by juiceelucee
I bought this many weeks ago, but only last week got to try it. We absolutely LOVED it! I am sooo not a cherry fan typically as I tend to prefer strawberry or watermelon when it comes to scented or flavoured things... but having read the reviews of this it sounded too good to miss. And that is most certainly was!
I love candle wax play, but he was not so sure... however he was surprised how warm and pleasant it felt falling on his skin. So whether you spread it, drip it, pour it or lick it... it's near impossible not to love.
I'd most definitely recommend this and any of these candles to anyone... and everyone! The candle melts beautifully into wonderful sensual oil that lasts as long as you need it to and more. It glides perfectly and a little certainly goes a long way. The smell is phenomenal! I'm going back for all the range today... :D
- Pros
- Absolutely EVERYTHING!
- Cons
- Nothing, can't fault it.
- Bottom line
- Sensual, sexual, likable and unique. Must have!

Rising Inequality in China and the Move to a Balanced EconomyCuiping Zhuaffiliation not provided to SSRN Guanghua WanAsian Development Bank Institute January‐February 2012 China & World Economy, Vol. 20, Issue 1, pp. 83-104, 2012 Abstract: China faces serious external (i.e. trade) and internal (i.e. structural) imbalances. Both are related to income inequality, reduction of which will help to increase domestic demand. This paper discusses how income inequality has evolved over time. This is followed by an exploration of the consequences of high inequality. Driving forces underlying the rising inequality are analyzed before providing concrete policy recommendations. It is found that inequality declined in the early period of reform, until the mid to late 1980s, and then began a rising trend up to 2010. Major determinants of inequality include: location, institutional and policy factors, trade and globalization, and education inequality and human capital gaps along rural–urban and spatial divisions. To achieve a balanced economy and a harmonious society, development policies in China must shift from emphasizing growth to prioritizing equality. In addition, government interventions can target rural–urban disparity through rapid urbanization, and tackle regional inequality by developing financial markets, ensuring progressive allocation of fiscal resources, promoting trade and foreign direct investment in inland China, creating more formal jobs and supporting the service sector.

High-energy femtosecond pulse amlification in a quasi-phase-matched parametric amplifier
Optics Letters, Vol. 23, Issue 3, pp. 210-212 (1998)
Acrobat PDF (271 KB)
A new type of solid-state femtosecond amplifier is demonstrated that is based on quasi-phase-matched parametric amplification. Such gain media are different from conventional solid-state amplifiers in that their amplification bandwidths and pump and signal wavelengths can be engineered. Furthermore, high gain is characteristic of parametric amplification, permitting extraction of high energies without the need to resort to multiple-pass configurations. We report a parametric chirped pulse amplification system in which femtosecond pulses from a mode-locked Er-doped fiber laser system are amplified to 1-mJ energies in a single pass by use of a 5-mm-long periodically poled LiNbO3 (PPLN) crystal. This amplifier is pumped by 5-mJ and 0.5-ns pulses at 786 nm, demonstrating that limitations associated with a low optical-damage threshold for long pump pulses can be overcome because of the high nonlinearity of PPLN and that relatively simple Q -switched lasers can be used with such parametric amplifiers.

Securities and Exchange Commission:
Greater Attention Needed to Enhance Communication and Utilization of Resources in the Division of Enforcement
GAO-09-358: Published: Mar 31, 2009. Publicly Released: May 6, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-5837
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Division of Enforcement (Enforcement) plays a key role in meeting the agency's mission to protect investors and maintain fair and orderly markets. In recent years, Enforcement has brought cases yielding record civil penalties, but questions have been raised about its capacity to manage its resources and fulfill its law enforcement and investor protection responsibilities. GAO was asked to evaluate, among other issues, (1) SEC's progress toward implementing GAO's 2007 recommendations; (2) the extent to which Enforcement has an appropriate mix of resources dedicated to achieving its objectives; and (3) the adoption, implementation, and effects of recent penalty policies. GAO analyzed information on resources, enforcement actions, and penalties; and interviewed current and former SEC officials and staff, and others.
SEC has fully implemented three of GAO's four 2007 recommendations. GAO recommended SEC establish procedures for approving new investigations and for operating its new investigation management information system called the Hub; consider procedures for closing inactive cases; and improve management of the Fair Funds program, which returns funds to harmed investors. Enforcement has developed the procedures for new investigations and for operating the Hub, and made case closings a higher priority. SEC has also staffed a new Office of Collections and Distributions (OCD), which is responsible in part for administering the Fair Funds program. However, OCD has a dual reporting structure in which most of the staff report to Enforcement, not the OCD director. According to OCD management, this structure has slowed work and confused staff. SEC strategic goals and GAO internal control standards call for making efficient and effective use of resources a priority. SEC's strategic plan also calls for improving program design and organizational structures. Recent overall Enforcement resources and activities have been relatively level, but the number of investigative attorneys has decreased 11.5 percent over fiscal years 2004 through 2008. Enforcement management said resource levels have allowed them to continue to bring cases across a range of violations, but both management and staff said resource challenges have delayed cases, reduced the number of cases that can be brought, and potentially undermined the quality of some cases. Specifically, investigative attorneys cited the low level of administrative, paralegal, and information technology support, and unavailability of specialized services and expertise, as challenges to bringing actions. Also, Enforcement staff said a burdensome system for internal case review has slowed cases and created a risk-averse culture. SEC's strategic plan calls for targeting resources strategically, examining whether positions are deployed effectively, and improving program design and organizational structure. Enforcement management has begun examining ways to streamline case review, but the focus is process-oriented and does not give consideration to assessing organizational culture issues. Enforcement management, investigative attorneys, and others agreed that two recent corporate penalty polices--on factors for imposing penalties, and Commission pre-approval of a settlement range--have delayed cases and produced fewer, smaller penalties. GAO also identified other concerns, including the perception that SEC had "retreated" on penalties, and made it more difficult for investigative staff to obtain "formal orders of investigation," which allow issuance of subpoenas for testimony and records. Our review also showed that in adopting and implementing the penalty policies, the Commission did not act in concert with agency strategic goals calling for broad communication with, and involvement of, the staff. In particular, Enforcement had limited input into the policies the division would be responsible for implementing. As a result, Enforcement attorneys reported frustration and uncertainty in application of the penalty policies.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The SEC Chairman agreed with our recommendation, and the Division of Enforcement has reported that in a subsequent review, the division has determined that it needs the position of Chief Operating Officer/Business Manager for Enforcement, in order to manage the Office of Collections and Distributions, among other tasks. According to the division, the position has been advertised, the posting closed, and the position is expected to be filled by 9/30/09.
Recommendation: To help ensure that SEC is effectively and efficiently using its resources in bringing enforcement actions, and that its enforcement policies are working effectively, the SEC Chairman should, to help ensure effective and efficient operation of the Office of Collections and Distributions, consider an alternative organizational structure and reporting relationship for the office, to address the organizational concerns identified.
Agency Affected: United States Securities and Exchange Commission
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The SEC Chairman agreed with our recommendation, and the Division of Enforcement has reported that a number of actions have been taken: (1) The Director of Enforcement has conducted a top-to-bottom review of the division's processes and organizational culture. (2) The Director has determined that the highest-impact use of any additional funding will be to hire employees with specialized industry experience; hire additional trial lawyers; and hire additional non-attorney, non-accountant support staff, including information technology staff, paralegals and others. (3) The Commission has delegated "formal order" authority to the Director, which will allow the division to more quickly begin investigations. (4) The Director plans to restructure the division to include specialized investigative groups. (5) A level of management review -- by "branch chiefs" -- has been eliminated, in order to provide more staff to work on investigations and to increase efficiency of the internal case review process. (6) The division is creating an Office of Market Intelligence, which will be responsible for collecting, analyzing and monitoring the many thousands of complaints, tips, and referrals the division receives each year. (7) The division is developing improved metrics for measuring productivity and performance. Reflecting these changes, the division reports that staff requests have been made to Congress for the FY 2011 budget, as well as for additional positions for FY 2009 and FY 2010.
Recommendation: To help ensure that SEC is effectively and efficiently using its resources in bringing enforcement actions, and that its enforcement policies are working effectively, the SEC Chairman should, as part of ongoing efforts to explore the more effective use of resources, and to streamline internal review of cases and investigations, expand Enforcement's current examination of its methods to include the level and mix of resources available to investigative staff in the areas of administrative and paralegal support, specialized services and expertise, and information technology support; and include in the examination an evaluation of the impact of the case review process on organizational culture factors such as risk aversion and incentives to drop or narrow the scope of cases.
Agency Affected: United States Securities and Exchange Commission
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The SEC Chairman agreed with our recommendation, and the Division of Enforcement has reported that it plans to submit a recommendation to the Commission, concerning application of the 2006 penalty policy, by September 30, 2009. Toward that end, the division reported that in April 2009, it began examining alternative approaches for applying the policy, and in June 2009, circulated a formal recommendation to the Office of the General Counsel for review and comment. As of early May 2013, the Enforcement Division continues to discuss with the Commissioners' staff whether the current policy and its current application are achieving the Commission's stated goals, and to evaluate alternative approaches.
Recommendation: To help ensure that SEC is effectively and efficiently using its resources in bringing enforcement actions, and that its enforcement policies are working effectively, the SEC Chairman should examine the effects of the 2006 corporate penalty policy to determine whether the policy is achieving its stated goals and any other effects the policy may have had in adoption or implementation.
Agency Affected: United States Securities and Exchange Commission
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The SEC Chairman agreed with our recommendation, and in March 2009 hired a new Director of Enforcement. The Division of Enforcement reports that the Chairman and the Director have worked together to create a "climate of communication." The Director has held several "town hall" meetings with division staff, to outline future plans, explain a restructuring of the division, and ensure that management and staff were both represented on advisory groups formed to assist in these efforts. Ten advisory groups have been formed to make recommendations on the division?s structure and internal processes. According to the division, the Director will continue to have town hall meetings and to seek staff input.
Recommendation: To help ensure that SEC is effectively and efficiently using its resources in bringing enforcement actions, and that its enforcement policies are working effectively, the SEC Chairman should take steps to ensure that the Commission, in creating, monitoring, and evaluating its policies, follows the agency strategic goal and other best practices for communication with, and involvement of, the staff affected by such changes.

Prions are not only unique in the way they replicate. Also the sequence of events triggered by peripheral prion infection, generically termed 'peripheral pathogenesis', sets prions aside from all other known pathogens. Whereas most bacteria, parasites, and viruses trigger innate and adaptive immune responses, the mammalian immune system appears to be remarkably oblivious to prions. Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) do not go along with inflammatory infiltrates, and antibodies to the prion protein are not typically raised during the course of the disease. On the other hand, there is conspicuous involvement of lymphoid organs, which accumulate sizeable concentrations of the infectious agent early during disease. Moreover, various states of immune deficiency can abolish peripheral pathogenesis and prevent 'take' of infection when prions are administered to peripheral sites. Here, we critically re-visit the current evidence for an involvement of the immune system in prion diseases, and will attempt to trace the elaborate mechanisms by which prions, upon entry into the body from peripheral sites, reach the brain.

The Law of Contract: An IntroductionJan M. SmitsMaastricht University Faculty of Law - Maastricht European Private Law Institute (M-EPLI) 2011 Abstract: The Maastricht European Law School offers a full programme designed to educate European lawyers. This poses a special challenge in terms of methods of teaching and development of teaching materials. This is in particular the case in the first year of study, in which students are introduced to the traditional fields of law (such as private law, criminal law and constitutional law) without focusing on one national jurisdiction: it is not Dutch, French, German or English law that is taught, but law as such. The present chapter is an attempt to provide first year students with such a 'European' introduction to the law of contract. It is used as part of the teaching materials in the first course of the Maastricht curriculum (Introduction to Law). The chapter may also be useful for non-lawyers interested in the law of contract. It provides a brief account of how contracts come into being, how to establish their contents and what are the rights and obligations of the contracting parties.

That's not "today's" music. Infact I'm shocked you put it in that category, there are lots of bands these days making good music, it's just there are a majority making bad.
I agree though, I hate crunk and any form of competitive rap/hiphop.
But there are some good types of hiphop. Like Apathy, Gang Starr, Rakim, Demigodz, Styles Of Beyond, Hilltop Hoods.

It's excitement galore this season as some of Hollywood's much-awaited sequels are set to the hit the screens. Mini Anthikad Chhibber reports
This summer while we get gently toasted in the searing heat, we can distract ourselves with the thought of eagerly-awaited sequels from Hollywood. There is Iron Man 2 where Robert Downey Jr. reprises his role as industrialist-superhero Tony Stark with Gwyneth Paltrow giving him company as the super-efficient Pepper Potts.
The other sequel out this summer is Sex and the City 2. Based on the highly-successful series, the story of Carrie and her friends would be carried ahead by Michael Patrick King with much designer accessorising, thanks to costumer Patricia Field. Apart from the cast of the series and movie reprising their roles, Miley Cyrus and Penelope Cruz will make an appearance.
Those who have been waiting breathlessly for another instalment of the jolly green ogre, Shrek, Princess Fiona, sidekick Donkey and Puss in Boots, the wait ends in May with Shrek Forever After.
There is also the action adventure How To Train Your Dragon. Directed by Peter Hastings, the film has an all star voice cast led by Gerard Butler. The trailers look promising but then one should never judge a film by its trailer.
This summer, like always, has a happy mix of action, comedy, drama and kiddy films.
In comedy, you have the Jennifer Aniston-Gerard Butler movie, The Bounty Hunter. The film directed by Andy Tennant who also helmed the magical Ever After, the strange Hitch and the despicable Fool's Gold has been in the news forever mainly with speculation about whether Aniston and Butler are seeing each other. The movie has a golden hue similar to Fool's Gold, and one can only hope it isn't as shallow.
The other Jennifer, la Lopez, returns to the screens in the rom com The Back Up Plan.
For all who grew up on and loved The Karate Kid, there is good news as Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith (Will Smith junior) team up for the remake that would be released this June.
Action fans can cheer at Ms. Bee Stung Lips, Angelina Jolie's turn as Evelyn Salt in the Philip Noyce directed Salt who directed Jolie many moons ago, 1999 to be precise, in The Bone Collector.
While Katherine Bigelow's The Hurt Locker which shut out James Cameron's Avatar opens today, another Oscar winner, Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island is opening at the end of the month. Scorsese's fourth collaboration with Leonardo Di Caprio, Shutter Island has been called a generic thriller. However, seeing what Scorsese did with the gangster genre in Good Fellas and more recently The Departed, we can expect some celluloid pyrotechnics.
Ridley Scott, yet another big time Oscar winner, teams up with Russell Crowe for Robin Hood. The film also stars Cate Blanchett and William Hurt and promises to be another exercise in gritty realism as Scott revisits the space and time of Kingdom of Heaven.
Young 'uns can look forward to Alvin and the Chipmunks that would be released this month and there is also Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang directed by Susanna White from a story by Emma Thompson starring Ralph Fiennes and Maggie Smith.
Toy Story 3 and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse have June release dates for the U.S. but the IMDB (Internet Movie Database) is firmly silent on when the films would be released in India.
Later in the year, there would be Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows I in November and in December, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn will be released. Till then we could amuse ourselves with variegated fare from Hollywood, including the zombie fest George Romero's Survival of the Dead and the Paul Greengrass (he helmed the Bourne movies and United 93) thriller Green Zone which has Matt Damon flexing his biceps as a rogue CIA operative looking for weapons of mass destruction. Bring on the popcorn — caramel flavoured please!

If the all-ruling Power please We live to see another May, We'll recompense an age of these Foul days in one fine fishing day: We shall then have a day or two, Perhaps a week, wherein to try, What the best Master's hand can do With the most deadly killing fly; A day without too bright a beam, A warm, but not a scorching sun, A southern gale to curl the stream, And (Master) half our work is done. Then whilst behind some bush we wait The scaly people to betray, We'll prove it just with treacherous bait To make the preying trout our prey; This (my best Friend) at my poor home Shall be our pastime and our theme, But then should you not deign to come You make all this a flatt'ring dream. ~ Charles Cotton

By: Recruiting Training Corner
Whether your goal is employee development or employee training, it's likely that the situation below is familiar.
An organization decides that a new product launch requires an employee-wide training session, to be conducted via Webex. Because customer service representatives and sales representatives cannot be away from their core jobs for very long, only 1 hour is allocated for the training.
A few weeks later, as customers start to call and ask questions about the new product, most customer service representatives simply do not know how to deal with the issues.
Afterwards, your managers become incensed and demand answers. "Explain to me how you do not know this when you just had training a few weeks ago? Were you not listening?"
The good news is that they probably were listening.
The bad news: your 25-slide walkthrough and closing 5-minute question and answer session was sorely lacking.
Simply said, presenting information does not constitute training. As such, organizations must move beyond this to create meaningful learning for their employees, whether through in-person training, e-leaning tools or mobile learning.
What is Training? In its simplest form, employee training can best be understood as an organized activity:
As simple as it sounds, the process is often easier said than done.
According to Edgar Dale, a turn of the century educationist who explored how learners retain information, people only retain 50% of what they see and hear two weeks after a training.
That being said, retention can go up as high as 70% if employee engagement and participation are part of the discussion. Retention can go as high as 90% if employees are required to present or do something with the material being presented.
While his conclusions have been hotly debated for years now, most trainers will tell you that there is plenty of anecdotal evidence to support his basic premise that simply presenting information isn't enough to retain information.
So why do organizations continually settle for this type of "employee training?"
Common Excuses for Poor Employee Training:
Not Our Fault -- Yes, many companies believe that the problem lies with their employees' lack of attention rather than the presentation format.
If a large segment of your employees fail to retain information, are you confident that the problem lies with them and not you?
Not Enough Time -- The "our employees are too busy to train" is another situation that trainers must constantly deal with in both educational and corporate settings. In these types of presentations, trainers are rushed to get through all of the material, providing little to no interaction, especially for large group training.
If adult learners truly do only retain 50% of what they hear and see, this is a disastrous practice.
Don't Know How -- While time is certainly a factor, there are indeed things that trainers and instructional designers could be doing to improve employee training.
No Money -- Money, or the lack thereof, is no longer a valid reason for poor training. Elaborate simulations are no longer required for training that goes beyond presenting the information. There are relatively simple and inexpensive things that can be implemented, even in larger employee training sessions.
How to Create More Engaging Training Creating more engaging and interactive training MUST become a priority for organizations. They are spending the money and the time on these anyways, so why not go that extra mile to understand if it's having the desired effect, and, if not, remedy the situation.
These recommended strategies can be incorporated into trainings, making them more effective from the standpoint of both cost and retention.
Job Aids/Leave Behinds -- After trainees walk away from your training, do you have anything to offer them to further their understanding of the content? Have you developed any job aids/task aids/leave behinds?
Consider developing tools that can support your employees in real time when they are confronted with specific questions about the new product you just trained on, or a business process that has been altered. Expecting them to remember every bullet point you read is simply not realistic. Provide them with references.
Evaluation -- What happens after you have a training session, whether it be a Webex or face-to-face? Do you have any sort of evaluation? An evaluation is more than simply asking, "How would you rate the trainer?"
A meaningful evaluation asks specific questions about the content they were exposed to and assigns a pass/fail score. If you don't have a Learning Management System to deploy this, an interim solution could be using something like SurveyMonkey, which is a relatively inexpensive solution.
A follow-up survey makes learners accountable. It should also give you a fairly good indication of how the information was processed and retained.
If survey results show that a majority of your audience did not understand the material satisfactorily, you'll have time to remedy the situation before it becomes an issue with clients and/or work processes.
Interactivity -- This is arguably the most difficult thing to incorporate into training, especially if the session is virtual and the group is large. But there are strategies that you implement to this end.
It could generate some awkward situations in which the learner refuses to answer (especially if over the phone) but a seasoned trainer should be able to gracefully handle these types of occurrences.
There are a ton of free PPT templates and ideas online that you can download and tweak to your liking.
If the training is being done face-to-face, break into smaller groups and have various small nuggets of teaching topics prepared. Have everyone present a topic to their sub-group, and then rotate. Walk around the class, try to listen to what is being said and provide feedback where appropriate. If the session is happening over the Web, modify the exercise and have one or two volunteers teach one of the topics you just went through.
